Four Seasons Resort Nevis, Nevis
Larry Olmsted
From the Print Edition:
Wayne Gretzky, Mar/Apr 97
On the 20-minute boat ride from the St. Kitts airport, guests get their first view of Nevis, a remarkable island that bears an uncanny resemblance to one inhabited by Gilligan, the Skipper and their friends.
When the Four Seasons' private ferry pulls up to the dock, guests step off onto a little slice of paradise. A one-minute walk carries them past the beach and pool and into the opulent lobby of the island's sole resort. (A handful of inns, occupying former sugar plantations, offer the only other accommodations on Nevis.)
With just 196 rooms, the Four Seasons is able to provide the personalized service that has repeatedly won the resort the only American Automobile Association five-diamond award given in the Caribbean.
Guest rooms, with maid service three times daily, are located in 12 cottages along the beach on either side of the main building. The "standard" rooms are quite spacious and deluxe, dwarfing those of most hotels, and offer an enormous bathroom with oversized tub and separate shower, a screened terrace and every conceivable amenity, down to the stainless steel cocktail shaker and fresh nutmeg on the minibar. The pricier rooms are even more spacious.
The pride of the resort is the 18-hole Robert Trent Jones golf course, whose pro shop is a two-minute stroll from most of the rooms. With views of towering Mt. Nevis, ruins of an old sugar mill and endless palm trees, the course is a sheer delight, far better than most resort layouts. Gluttons for punishment will delight in the signature 15th hole, which adds the course's only set of black tees, offering the golfer a 240-yard forced carry to the fairway on a par 5 that eventually plays to 666 yards.
For non-golfers, the resort offers 10 tennis courts, several of which are lighted and four of which are stunning red clay and well maintained. Lessons and rental rackets are available. Adjacent to the tennis courts is a well manicured, regulation-size croquet court.
The heart and soul of the property is the beach, which shares the pool cabana bar and restaurant with two large swimming pools. Beach service is impeccable, with fruity tropical concoctions delivered promptly to your lounge chair, while the attendants supply cool towels and spray your face with Evian spritzers.
Windsurfing, Hobie cats and various other water sports are offered beachside, along with instruction. The resort's ferry can be used for shopping excursions to St. Kitts, and a catamaran makes daily snorkeling runs to some of the island's excellent dive sites. A nearby dive shop also operates daily trips, picking up passengers at the private dock.
Despite the abundance of activities, relaxing with a cigar is easy here. The resort's gift shop offers a varying selection of top Cuban brands, including Montecristo and Cohiba, which can be enjoyed at the Library Bar, poolside, or while watching a sunset on the Ocean Terrace. Out on the golf course, you can celebrate a great shot with a cigar delivered by the course's beverage cart.
The menus at every food outlet on the property are changed daily to ensure variety, even at the poolside cabana. Executive chef Martin Frost's food reflects the Caribbean setting, from the plantain pancakes and pineapple fritters at breakfast to the spiny lobster and fresh fish at dinner. Dinner is served in either the Grill Room or the more formal Dining Room; guests can choose from either menu.

text: My wife and I recently purchased a manufactured home in South Western Oregon. It the second of two homes on the property and the newest. There is a well that is approximately 300' from the new house and 100' from the old one. The topography is mostly flat. I am told that the well is 150' deep. The old house has outstanding water pressure and the new house is terrible. I have found a pressure tank in the garage of the new house but no pressure switch. I have looked around the old house and I cannot find any sign that there was a tank anywhere old or new. The wellhead sticks above the ground approximately 2', is approximately 10" across, made of cast iron with an aluminum cover. There is 1" electrical conduit running up the side of the wellhead and into the cover. By the new house's garage There is a pipe made of galvanized metal that comes out of the concrete makes a turn and goes back into the concrete. It has a thin round cover in it that reads, 120-psi max. That pipe is located on the out side of the new garage and the pressure tank is on the other side of the wall in the garage. Could the pressure switch be under the wellhead? If it is, is there a gauge under there too? I have read that possibly the old tank could have been in the well casing. Is that true? Thanks anyone.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is very long and intense. Really impressive. Full and very sweet, yet racy and fresh, with spicy botrytis character. Fantastic."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "*A Top 100 Cellar Selection of 2009* A severe, austere wine that doesn't show its richness easily. The tannins are tight and firm and they dominate. Underneath is ripe fruit, the balance with tannins giving a foursquare, solid character. The wine is complex, spice playing with the fruit, some..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is not a big Château Margaux, its style showing more elegance and discretion. The tannins are soft, although producing a dense web that lies underneath the black currant and plum fruit flavors. It is a wine that envelops the mouth, an edge of firmness over velvet fruit textures. The wine..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "A sensational effort, the 2006 Mouton Rothschild exhibits an opaque purple color as well as a classic Mouton perfume of creme de cassis, flowers, blueberries, and only a hint of oak... I think this has worked fabulously well with the cassis quality fruit they get from their Cabernet Sauvignon. The..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 1990 La Chapelle is the sexy and opulent. I had the 1990 at the Jaboulet tasting, and again out of a double magnum three months ago. On both occasions it was spectacular, clearly meriting a three-digit score. The modern day equivalent of the 1961, it deserves all the attention it has..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "It is always interesting to taste this wine next to its stablemate, Laville Haut-Brion. While Laville has 80% Semillon in it, giving it more fat and concentration, Haut-Brion is 55% Sauvignon Blanc and 45% Semillon. This is a crisp yet powerful wine, full-bodied, with great minerality and a subtle..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The aromas are so rich and powerful, with great ripe apricots. There are honey, spice and beautiful sweet spiced pears. This is an extraordinary wine in an extraordinary year in Sauternes."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "... elegance as well as unreal concentration. Classic lead pencil, cassis, kirsch, cedar, and spice characteristics are abundant in both the nose and full-bodied flavors ..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "This is even more primary than the Corton-Charlemagne as here there are vestiges of fermentation aromas that presently still dominate the nose. Otherwise, there is serious size and weight to the big-bodied yet seductively textured, even silky flavors that possess an abundance of mouth coating dry..
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2006 Latour performed even better from bottle than from barrel. Only 38% of the production (10,000 cases) made it into the grand vin, a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest primarily Merlot and a small amount of Cabernet Franc. From barrel, I thought it was a modern day version of the..

It is hard to overstate the importance of energy. Energy literally drives the global economy. Without question, the links between energy and security are significant, but how so? This book explores the connections between energy and security (human, national, and international) and provides considerable discussion on how best to resolve this strategic dilemma.
Edited by Dr. Carolyn Pumphrey.
Contributors to this volume agree that climate change is a threat deserving of serious attention. They stress the need for greater planning and coordination and for further research as well as the utility of engagement—military to military and state to state—on environmental issues. They differ as to whether the Armed Forces should play a leading or supporting role, but agree that they can—and already do—make a valuable contribution.

Sections of the book address China as a rising power, China as a security threat, the other Asian powers in relation to China, the flashpoints in East and South Asia, and Sino-American relations.

Rocky Patel Xtreme Sumatra Toro Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 1 through 5 of 5 reviews
My humidor is half filled with RP sticks. This thing tunneled straight down the core halfway through the cigar before I could even ash it. I clipped it in half hoping to save it but the burn continued to jet down the center. I hope to have better luck with the next, 0 for 1 so far.Lance A in Burlington, Vt. December 12, 2012
"Great cigar for the price"
I have purchased 5 boxes of Xtreme Toros. Maybe I got lucky, but they have all been good smokes. Maybe a handful were a tough draw, but the majority burned and smoked very well for me. I will continue to purchase these cigars. For the price they are a great daily smoke.Keith in Hagerstown, MD April 9, 2012
"Wound Too Tight and it isn't me!!!"
Loved the taste of these that came in a sampler so ordered a box of Toro's. Like sucking a tennis ball through a garden hose. Too bad. A couple that weren't too tight were fine, but a lot them I had to throw away. For the most part I love Rocky Patel's stogies.Michael T in Stockton California March 18, 2012
"An Excellent way to spend a Saturday Afernoon"
Sit Back relax with a cool Octoberfest Beer. Light up an Xtreme Sumatra and turn on the game. Not to Strong, not to weak. A prefect blend of peppery spice, woody and a hint of coffee. Great stick for the money!Larry S in Ankeny Iowa September 30, 2011
"Rocky what happened!!"
I'm a huge Rocky Patel guy love the Vintage Series,The Edge, OWR and Decade are some of the best smokes out there. This Xtreme blend is another story. The construction of this cigar is typical RP style but thats where the good ends. The draw is terrible, it burned on one side through out the smoke. Strong smoke with decent flavor but to much work. Bottom line the worse RP I've ever had.Chuck in Baltimore, MD April 22, 2011

Did You Know? Hotel Due Torri
Hotel Due Torri has been known as Dell'Aquila Palace since the 14th century and was formerly owned by the prestigious Scaligeri family. In another life, the building was a residence for cardinals, bishops and famous noble Roman families. It also was home to the renowned Campana's Inn. The Hotel Due Torri is close to the Arena, the Roman amphitheatre renowned for opera, and the famous balcony of Romeo and Juliet-a meeting point for lovers of culture, arts, music, and delicious food.
The classic and elegant style of the hotel is mirrored in the antique surrounding palaces: for example Palazzo Altemps, that dates back to the XVI century and now houses the Museo Nazionale Romano, or the Museo Napoleonico, rich of friezes and recently restored. The Hotel Due Torri has 26 rooms, designed with refined and plain style, in harmony with the Renaissance elegance of the palace. The cozy accommodations are decorated with Italian cloths in warm and restful colors. Guests can choose among single rooms, double rooms and 4 little apartments.

I am going to start FCR tomorrow for CLL. I am pretty scared as I even hate to take any medication, though now I will be on several. I will be taking all three meds for three days, off 25 days, continuing for 6 months. I had a port placed in my upper right chest last Tuesday and it is still a bit sore so am not looking forward to being poked there so soon. Anyone have a comment on their similar FCR experience.
Hi I went thru fcr from may to oct in 2007 I'm still in remission. I didn't have any real issues with the tx other than feeling more tired after the three day tx each week.I had no issues with the rituxan at all. I was given nausea meds and benadryl before each tx but never felt nauseous.
I was glad to read your post. My Dr and I talked about FCR as my WBC is climbing and at 171 now, was 134 a month ago. Going for a CT Scan first and then probably a bone marrow biopsy. I am glad you did so well, it makes me feel a little more comfortable. Were you able to function after the 3 days or was it severe fatigue? Just asking as I hope I can still work. Thanks for your post.
Hi. I am new to this website and start FCR on March 12th for 5 days in a row. I, too, wonder about the experiences of others who have taken FCR, especially side effects and recovery time before returning to work. How was your experience?
TMSCLL55 Hello!
I went through 6 rounds of FCR last February. I came in for 3 days every month. Honestly, I never felt ANY side effects.
My WBC was very high so my Doctor was concerned that all the cells that were going to be killed off would present a problem (clogging things up, I guess) so for the first 3 days I was admitted to the hospital. When I received the Rituxon ( The R in FCR) it was usually on the 1st day and took almost an hour just to get that plus another couple of hours for the other chemicals so bring alot of reading material or a MP3 or portable DVD. When your administered the "R" a nurse will be there with you and take your vitals every 15 minuets to make sure your not having a reaction to it Good luck TMSCLL55 I hope your experience is as smooth as mine was.
Hi - thanks for posting this info. My Dr and I talked about FCR treatment today and she told me exactly what you are saying, 3 days every month. It is so nice to hear you did not have any side effects, makes me a little more comfortable. She also said they do monitor you a lot with the Rituxon to make sure you are tolerating it well. What was your WBC when you had treatment? I am at 171. Did this treatment bring your counts back to the normal range? She said I am now in the "gray" area in whether to treat or still wait so I am going to get a CT Scan and probably a bone marrow biopsy to determine the best treatment. The CT Scan will probably tell us more as I have not had one for over 2 years. I am glad everything went smooth for you.
I am more than happy to share my experiences with you and anyone else. The wait and anxiety of whats to come is very worrysome, I know. My count was up around 240 when I went in for chemo. It was amazing how quickly the chemo reduced my swollen nodes and dropped my WBC below 4.0. I don't know if I mentioned it but my Hematologist was concerned about the amount of cells that he knew would be killed off, clogging up the works so he put me into the hospital so I could be monitered closely. It did kill them off but I had no problems
I rmember thinking that I would be sick, throwing-up and miserable when I got chemo... the nurse told me that in the two years she had been on the cancer ward No one had gotten sick. They give you anti- nausia med ( a "drip") as part of your chemo treatment. I felt fine! I asked if they by mistake gave me a salin solution instead of the chemo. All the drugs are given intravenously ( usually in a vein in the back of your hand, again, no big deal) and the "port" is left in for the 3 days of treatment). You just sit there and relax for a long time. I brought a CD player a MP3 and a book.
You mentioned a biopsy. The number one terror !! Again... it was surprisingly nothing. I've had worse flu shots.
If you look at where it all takes place ( your hip bone) there really is nothing there. A thin layer of fat and muscle and then bone. There are no nerve endings in bone or in the marrow all I felt was some pressure in the area which felt very strange but did not hurt, at all! All my concerns were for naught. I have been getting steroid injections in my hips to relieve some problems in that area and its the same concept there really isn't much there that will hurt you. I went back for a second round so believe me if I went back ... there is nothing to fret about.
Thanks rjmeistro, lots of good info! I did hear that no one really gets sick and that it works pretty fast. When your counts and nodes were normal, did you notice any difference? Did you feel better? I really don't feel that ill right now. I just want to hold off as long as I can. Do not want to loose my hair! I will probably get the CT Scan in about 2 weeks so I will know more then if I need to get treatments or can still wait. Having some abdomen pain that comes and goes and hoping it is not my gall bladder. This should show up on the CT if it is. Hope it is nothing worse.
Hello I have not had a CT scan. It has never been mentioned (?)
I never felt sick before treatment (chemo). yes, I did have swollen nodes below my jaw but they did not bother me except that they were a reminder everytime I looked in the mirror. Swollen nodes under my arm did tend to shut off the blood flow so my arm would "fall asleep" on occassion or feel like I had a golf ball in my arm pit other than that I felt normal. Could be I was getting winded more or tired, I don't know. After treatment, the nodes are normal and it is as if there is nothing going on... I go in for a blood count every 3 months now and life goes on. My count never really got back to a normal range ( it's 3.7 now and 4.0 is the low end normal) so I am concerned around sick people and especially kids ( huge germ carriers) anyway.... I made it though the winter and feel great!
Hi all, I had a CT Scan last week and met the Dr today. Nodes are enlarged everywhere but the main problem is my spleen is enlarged. Should be about 13cm and it is about 22cm. Pushing on other organs. WCC was 169 so same as it was about a month ago. Another problem is my platelets fell to 98. So, I am getting the bone marrow biopsy next to see how aggressive the disease is becoming. Then will come the dreaded FCR treatments. Question - did anyone still keep working during the months of treatment? I would like to keep working ( on the non-treatment days) but not sure about that cause she did say I should stay away from anyone / crowds where I could catch something. Not sure how I will take the treatment - fatigue, nausea, maybe hair loss etc . I asked about side effects but her response was a little vague. I have to make a decision on working or not within the next month.
mivkz: Hello.....sorry to read about your current situation. I hope I can answer some of your questions. 1st off: the FCR treatments had NO side effects (none) no throwing up no nausea NO hair loss. I felt normal. I felt normal but thats me. I asked the attending nurse if anyone got sick and I was told not in the two years she was there. I'd go in, get the treatment and drive home. The bone marrow biopsy... I've had worse flu shots! All I felt was pressure (no pain). I've said this before but there really is not much in the hip area and that is numbed there is no nerve endings in bone or marrow so nothing there to hurt you. OK, now I have a question for you. You mentioned your spleen. I suspect mine is swollen. Stomach aches, If I am sitting and cross my arm across my lower rib area I get a sick feeling. Anything you or anyone else has noticed to describe a swollen spleen would help. mivkz, good luck
Hi - glad to hear you did so well. I was told I could drive myself to the treatments. I know that FCR is 3 days every 28 days for about 6 months. How long did he treatment take per day for you? I would like to keep working so I hope I feel OK and I do not want to have to get a wig. Dr said that it is common for people to lose their hair during this treatment - you were really lucky and I hope I am too! I am not afraid of the bone marrow biopsy. She said it will only take about 1/2 hour and most people say it does not hurt so I should be out of there in an hour. My CT scan showed a lot of enlarged lymph nodes which I expected. I thought I had a gall bladder problem cause I had mild pain in the mid section. She said the report shows my gall bladder is fine but my spleen is very enlarged. She said it is under your left rib cage and my spleen is falling about 2" below my ribs now and she can feel it, I can't seem to feel anything when I press on that area. She said my spleen is pressing on other organs, mostly the stomach and one of the symptoms is when you eat you feel full really fast. I don't have that symptom. But after I do eat, I am bloated as my slacks get really tight around the waist. My pain is very mild, comes and goes. Mostly when I get up in the morning, I feel a pain/pressure in my midsection. After I move around some, it seems to go away. If I twist and turn a lot, I feel the mild pain. It seems to navigate its way to my mid-back area at times too. It is more annoying than painful, but it was scaring me as to what it was. I can't believe you never had a CT scan. This is my 3rd one in the 7 years I have been on watch and wait. The last one was Dec 2009 and this new one shows a lot more nodes enlarged now. Having my platelets at 98 is also a big concern. I will post another update after I get the bone marrow biopsy results. Thanks for your input!
Good Morning mivkz: Yes, my treatments were the same length of time. Usually I was given the (R) Rituxun on the first day and that alone took over 4 hours the (C) was40 minuets and the (F) 30. There are also anti-nausea meds and anti- something else that took about 20 min. each so it is a long first day! the following two days there is no Rituxan. I wish you the best with the Hair thing... I didn't, and others reported to me that they had no real noticable loss ( my Hematologist told be that next time will more than likely be different).. I hope that this helps take off some of the anxiety.
From what you have written I think I have the spleen thing going on. I have been in remission for about 7 months. I have noticed some nodes swollen in my neck and underarm areas lately. Here we go again
Have a great day
FCR cancelled. Going to get Campath on M-W-F. Anyone who has experience with Campath, let me know how it went.
i just got done with FCR in March after doing 6 cycles of 3 days every month. My first experience with Rituxan was bad. I had a severe reaction so they had to stop it for an hour and wait for me to recover from that and then after that the Rituxan has to start slow. First my day usually lasted 6-7 hours. Needless to say the FCR did not work for my CLL. My cancer cells doubled while on FCR so now I am starting BR today for another 6 cycles. The only real side effects I had were fatigue but I was able to work. I own my own business so taking time off work is not very easy. I would have my FCR on Tues, Wed and Thurs. By Friday at noon I would have to go home, recover over the weekend and then I was good until the next treatment. I had no hair loss or vomiting. I did after 4 cycles have the metallic taste in my mouth by Jolly Ranchers worked great for that. I hope your treatment works better than mine did. On to course 2 of chemo hoping it works and puts me in remission. My doc said that 90% of people who had FCR first are in remission. I guess I am just the lucky one it didn't do anything for.
Yes I've done the FCR treatment,just finished in feb, 6 months, didnt get to sick at all, a lil nausea, but alot of fatigue, that was my biggest side effect. I took time off from work, because i work with the public on a daily basis, and out in the elements, and with a suppressed immune system not good idea to be around alot of people, you never know who has a cold or not. Just did petscan and my nodes look good have shrunk down, and the only problem i'm having now is my RBC is running low, and high ANC. and a little fatigue. but trying to take less naps these days and get some walking in for exercise.

A pioneer in the "New Journalism" movement, Jon Franklin is best known for his dramatic stories that read like fiction but are absolute fact. He received the first Pulitzer Prize ever given in the category of feature writing and also the first ever awarded for explanatory journalism. He holds the Philip Merrill chair in journalism at the University of Maryland. Wolf in the Parlor is his sixth book.
New! By the author of Writing for Story,
The Wolf In The Parlor
"Read this book and it will change the way you see dogs, and people. Jon Franklin, the dean of science writers, is doing more than reporting here, he is making an argument, a surprising and learned one, about the evolution of modern society. It is a story of deep co-dependence, a theory informed by science, by love, and by a ripening personal appreciation of mutual need. And, oh yes, it may make you want to get a standard poodle" —Mark Bowden, author of Black Hawk Down
Writing for Story
In print for almost a quarter of a century, Writing for Story is a staple of the literary writer's trade, a familiar book on the shelves of nonfiction writers who want to tell accurate and true stories that read like fiction. Franklin's newest book, The Wolf in the Parlor, is a typical example of how a story of human brain evolution -- one of the most complex of subjects -- can be as enjoyable and gripping as the most compelling fiction. Best of all, when the reader finishes she has gained a painless expertise through the powerful but pleasurable means of literary osmosis.
What is the psychological distance between, say, humans and lemurs? Too great, or so scientists believe, for us to dare wonder how they think. To do that would be to anthropomorphize – to ascribe human thoughts and emotions to animals – and in science, anthropomorphizing is a cardinal sin. Still, a sin wouldn't be a sin if it didn't feel so right . . .
A Death in the Family
You've heard of SARs, bird flu and ebola. But what disease does public health officials fear most? It rarely appears in the news, but you could ask Nurse Ho . . .
The monster had lived inside Mrs. Kelly's head for decades, its tentacles reaching deep into the brain toward what neurosurgeon Tom Ducker called "the pilot light." As it grew, her life diminished. Today would set her free, one way or the other. . .

Asian Art History in the
Twenty-First Century
Thursday, April 27, 2006 - April 29, 2006
This Clark conference organized in association with the Asia Society, New York and convened by Vishakha N. Desai, provided a forum for discussion and debate among leaders of the field from Asia, Europe, and the United States.
Asian art is a field that has changed much since its beginnings early last century and which has been constantly shaped by a shifting world order. It is not often that historians, curators, and critics of Asian art get the chance to discuss their field, its historiography, its tensions, and its possible future directions. What do we mean by Asian art? How did its canons get formed? How is it manifest in museums, exhibitions and galleries? How might we understand it in relation to shifting geo-politics? How should we create new theoretical structures to suit the realities of the twenty-first century?

Obesity is a chronic disease affecting increasing numbers of children and adolescents as well as adults. Obesity rates among children in the US have doubled since 1980 and have tripled for adolescents. About 17 percent of children aged two to 19 are considered overweight compared to over 66 percent of adults who are considered overweight or obese.
Earlier onset of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and obesity-related depression in children and adolescents is being seen by healthcare professionals. The longer a person is obese, the more significant obesity-related risk factors become. Given the chronic diseases and conditions associated with obesity and the fact that obesity is difficult to treat, prevention is extremely important.
A primary reason that prevention of obesity is so vital in children is because the likelihood of childhood obesity persisting into adulthood is thought to increase as the child ages.
Breastfed babies are 20 percent less likely to develop diabetes and are less likely to become overweight. Therefore, the longer babies are breastfed, the less likely they are to become overweight as they grow older.
Young people generally become overweight or obese because they do not get enough physical activity in combination with poor eating habits. Genetics and lifestyle also contribute to a child's weight status.
Recommendations for prevention of overweight and obesity during childhood and adolescence include:
Many of the strategies that produce successful weight loss and maintenance help prevent obesity. Improving eating habits and increasing physical activity play a vital role in preventing obesity. Recommendations for adults include:

Valpo's Mahoney Named to Louisvile Slugger Freshmen All-American Team
Wednesday, June 06, 2012
Valparaiso University's Spencer Mahoney (LaGrange Park, Ill./Lyons Township H.S.) has been named to the 2012 Louisville Slugger Freshmen All-American Team as selected by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
Mahoney, one of five freshmen shortstops nationwide to be selected for the honor, is the only Horizon League selection on this year's Freshmen All-American Team.
The Crusader rookie led Valpo in batting with a .348 average despite missing 27 games due to an injury. He had 39 hits in 112 at bats in 2012, scoring 20 runs and driving home 23. In addition, Mahoney had eight doubles and drew 23 walks for a team-leading .468 on base percentage.
Mahoney also garnered First Team All-Horizon League accolades this year and was named the conference's Batter of the Week for his efforts the final week of the regular season. Mahoney was named to the Horizon League's All-Tournament Team as well as the conference's All-Newcomer Team.

Is God the Creator?
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
In today's video, Brian McLaren explains his own comfort with accepting Scripture and evolution, seeing the process of evolution as a wonderful opportunity for adaptation, growth, and development and a reflection of God's glory.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
This chapter from Mark Noll's book Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind seeks to understand science through a Christ-centered lens. Overall, if one accepts that nature is created and sustained by Jesus Christ, the author explains, then one must conclude that looking at nature is, in fact, the best way to learn about nature.
If God has indeed created all things, pure scientific truth should never be a "problematic thing" for Christians. If anything, scientific truth enriches the faith as it reveals his majesty and provides Christians with a deeper understanding of God.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In this paper, theologian John Wesley Wright reviews Connor Cunningham's book Darwin's Pious Idea, a work that deeply explores the integration of Darwinian evolutionary theory and Christian faith.
In this week's video, biblical historian John Dickson speaks about how to read the text of Genesis 1.
In this video "Conversation" John Walton discusses that the account in Genesis 1 is not intended to be an account of material origins.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, describes how Andrew Dickson White relentlessly advocated a view of history in which Science and Dogmatic Theology have always been at war with one another. Noll identifies 16 reasons why White's notion of warfare is mistaken.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.

Okay I saw that some Chinese guy had already started working on this idea, but I just wanted to add a few things of which I am sure he forgot.
We need an iPhone PC suite that can handle the following task:
Simply integrate ZiPhone for the following functions.
- Activation
- Jailbreak
- Unlock
Integrated Profile manager and backup utility. Maybe its just me but I've found the iTunes backup to be unreliable at best. I've worked on several phones for a few of my friends. I backed up the phone each time before I started working, but after restoring several times the iphone backup seems to disappear from my computer. can someone write a utility and include it in this suite which would backup the iPhone Profile to a secure location and allow you to install any profile onto any phone without having to do it manually (i.e. browse your computers file system and locate the backup that itunes makes on your hard drive).
Manage Ringtones, create and edit.
Manage SMS, Calendar, Notes,...
Baseband and/or Bootloader, Upgrade, Downgrade, Restore, Repair...
Most if not all of these tasks can already be performed manually or with simple scripts available through Installer.app or over the internet forums. This doesn't seem like and incredibly complicated task but perhaps its just my OCD and my obsession with being neat and organized. Can't someone just put everything into one EASY to use package? An easy to use GUI, that lets you select the version of your iPhone and then opens up a menu of all possible options which I have listed above, many of which I am sure I left out.

For all those Windows users who've been SOL because they upgraded to iOS 4.2.1, here's the guide you've been waiting for! :)
It is possible to jailbreak your ATV2 running iOS 4.2.1 in Windows. However, this is not a true Windows jailbreak (yes it's a jailbreak, and you'll be doing it on your Windows machine, but as you'll see shortly, technically it's not a Windows jailbreak... at least not 100%). All the software needed to be able to recover the ATV2 with a modified .ipsw file & perform a tethered boot are available for Windows. What's lacking is the software to be able to modify the .ipsw natively in Windows. No, I've not written software to do this task, but I am going to tell you how to accomplish just this within Windows. How, you ask? With VMWare. :)
I'm sure some of you have either already gone this route or have realized it could be done. If you've not considered this, or don't know what VMWare is (or both), it's actually pretty simple concept (though a somewhat complicated process). VMWare is virtualization software that allows you to run a "guest" operating system on top of your natively installed OS. VMWare is available for Windows, Linux & OS X - this guide assumes you're running on Windows, but the same results could be achieved on Linux (though I don't know that you'll actually be able to recover with the modified .ipsw you'll create on Linux).
I'm not going into detail about how to get OS X installed as a guest machine in VMWare. Google is your friend here.
(tip: try Googling "os x vmware image [amd/intel]" choosing the appropriate processor for your machine - you'll save a lot of time ;))
Once you've got a working OS X install, you need to download these files:
Pwnage tool 4.1.3 - http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/599...02.TPB.torrent
Pwnage tool Bundle for Apple TV 4.2.1 - http://tinyurl.com/24qvd87
Tethered Boot Utility for Windows: https://github.com/downloads/msftguy...boot_win32.zip
iOS 4.2.1 .ipsw: http://appldnld.apple.com/AppleTV/06...4_Restore.ipsw
iReb - Hotfile.com: One click file hosting: iREB-4.0.x-4.1-RC2.zip
Also, you'll need a copy of iTunes for Windows.
Now that you've got everything needed to perform the jailbreak, you'll be using the Pwnage tool to create the .ipsw & creating the files necessary for the tethered boot here on the VM. You'll then move the .ipsw & files back to Windows, restore the .ipsw to your ATV2 & use the tethered boot utility along with the files you created on the VM to perform a tethered boot.
First, you'll need to install the Pwnage tool:
1. Open the Pwnage Tool .dmg
2. Open the Applications folder (Once Finder is open, you should see this displayed on the list to the left)
3. Drag Pwnage tool to the Applications folder
4. Right click the Pwnage tool icon
5. Choose "Show Package Contents"
6. Browse to /Contents/Resources/FirmwareBundles
7. Copy the AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154.bundle file to the /Contents/Resources/FirmwareBundles folder
Now run the Pwnage tool.
Choose the ATV2 option on the right.
Choose the ATV2 4.2.1 bundle.
Let the pwnage tool do it's thing.
The Pwnage tool may ask for your administrator password. If you created a fresh install of OS X using the retail disk, you'll know this already. If you opted to pick up a pre-made image, go to System Preferences > Accounts, select your account & click "Change Password...". Look at the text in the password hint box - optionally, change the password to something you're more familiar with.
Let the Pwnage tool do it's thing. After a while, it will go to the next step & ask you to put your device in DFU mode. The ATV2 shouldn't be connected at this point (it doesn't hurt you if it is, but it's not necessary until we have the files we need to jailbreak the device). You can now close the Pwnage tool.
Now you have a modified .ipsw sitting on your desktop. You can leave it right where it is. Open up the terminal application (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and type the following command:
unzip -j ~/Desktop/AppleTV2,1_4.2.1_8C154_Custom_Restore.ipsw Firmware/dfu/iBSS.k66ap.RELEASE.dfu kernelcache.release.k66 -d ~/Desktop
If you decided to create a folder on your desktop or elsewhere to hold your files, you may need to change the path from ~/Desktop.
You now have everything you need to jailbreak your ATV2 in Windows. Copy the modified .ipsw, as well as the two files we unzipped from the archive to Windows & go ahead and shut down your VM & head back over to your Windows desktop.
All we have to do at this point is restore the ATV2 using the .ipsw we just created, then use the files & tethered boot program to boot the ATV2.
Before we get to that, though, I highly suggest you use tinyumbrella to back up your SHSH blobs. If you're one of the unlucky ones who upgraded your ATV2 to 4.2.1 before backing these up, you already know what a pain it is to be stuck with whatever version of Apple's software the company is trying to shove down your throat. Follow this guide to back up your SHSH files now: TinyUmbrella 4.2.1 Tutorial: Backup iOS 4.2.1 SHSH Blobs | TechPetals
After those are backed up, we'll be using iReb to help restore the .ipsw file we just created in OS X:
1. Open iTunes
2. Open iReb
3. Connect the ATV2 to your computer via microUSB cable (HDMI does not have to be plugged in)
4. Click the Apple TV 2 button in iREB
5. Put the ATV2 in DFU - http://www.hackint0sh.org/f286/209857.htm
6. Let iReb do it's thing - it will give you a message when then ATV2 is in a Pwned state.
Once this is done, iTunes should be complaining about the ATV2 being in DFU mode & asking you to restore the device. Shift+click the Restore button, browse to the location of your modified .ipsw & select it as the restore file. Let iTunes do it's thing.
This will take a while, and may throw an error at the end. Don't worry about that, we'll just move on to the tethered boot.
(note: You'll have to repeat these next steps each time you power on your ATV2. Since the ATV2 simply goes into sleep mode when not in use, this shouldn't be a major problem for us - if you have a battery backup, then this is virtually a non-issue, save for a real catastrophe)
Be sure that the tethered boot program is unzipped in a folder with both the iBSS.k66ap.dfu and kernelcache.release.k66 that you unzipped from the .ipsw while you were working in OS X. Now perform the following:
1. Open up command.exe (Run > Command for XP or simply type Command in the search box of Vista/7)
2. Browse to the folder where the tethered boot program resides
3. At the command prompt type: tetheredboot -i iBSS.k66ap.RELEASE.dfu -k kernelcache.release.k66
That's it - let the program run to completion. Once it returns you to the command prompt, disconnect your ATV2 from the computer & reconnect your HDMI cable. The ATV2 should be prompting you to set up the device. Go through the screens until you're at the home screen.
Now, ssh into your ATV2. If you're using PuTTY or WinSCP or similar, simply put Apple-TV.local as your host. The username will be root & password alpine.
You're officially jailbroken! Hooray Windows! :D:D
Now you can install apps like NitoTV, XBMC, aTV Flash (black), etc. I actually recommend aTV Flash (black), as it installs without having to do anything over ssh in the terminal, and will subsequently allow you to install NitoTV, XBMC as well as Couchsufer - web browser - and a host of other apps - everything available for the ATV2 at this moment I believe.
Enjoy! :D

Yes, generally, that would be feasible.
One of the proposed locations for our basement bathroom is in an area where the cold air return drops down about 7"-8" from the bottom of the floor joists. Is it possible to replace a section of the cold air return with a thinner-and-wider duct to gain a few inches of head room? If we kept the same volume capacity with a thinner duct, would that be viable?
As long as you make the transitions smoothly.
What tools would I need to do this? Should I look for pre-made ducts or will I have to fabricate them?
You may need to get them fabricated. What I've done is take the measurements to the local shop and they make them for me to order.
