The pinnacle of Creation
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honour. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen—even the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea that pass through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!" (Psalm 8:3–9
We are spiritual beings who were created to know God, to communicate with Him and to have a relationship with Him forever.
The Bible and secular science give us two very different versions of man's place in creation. Secular scientists believe that man (by which I mean mankind) is nothing more than an intelligent animal who came into existence purely by unthinking natural processes, by means of evolution. Furthermore, there may be many other intelligent beings—some of which may be much more intelligent than we are—that have evolved by similar processes on other worlds.
The Bible, on the other hand, tells us that God created man "in his own image" and gave him authority over the whole world (Genesis 1:26–28). We are spiritual beings who were created to know God, to communicate with Him and to have a relationship with Him forever. We are told also that our planet, the earth, was created before the sun, moon and stars (Genesis 1:1–19). In fact, the latter were created for our benefit! (Genesis 1:14–19; Psalm 19:1–6). The earth was created "to be inhabited" (Isaiah 45:18), and the implication seems to be that it is the only such world in the universe.
When man disobeyed God and suffered the penalty of death, the divine image was broken—but not lost.1 And the whole creation was affected by the Curse (Romans 8:18–25; Colossians 1:19–20).2 But the supreme indication of man's primacy in creation is the amazing fact that God the Son Himself became man. He came into this world as a human being, and shares our humanity for ever (John 1:1–3, 14; Philippians 2:5–11; Colossians 1:15–20; Hebrews 1:1–3). Furthermore, we are told that those who put their faith in Christ are "sons of God" (Romans 8:14–17, Galatians 3:26), part of "the bride of Christ" (Hosea 2:19, 20; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:25–27), and will be "seated with Him on his throne" (Revelation 3:21). In Ephesians 1:3–14, Paul describes in cosmic terms the amazing status and destiny of God's people—and he indicates that God planned these privileges "before the foundation of the world".
The Bible indicates, therefore, that man is a unique, spiritual being, the pinnacle of creation. It implies very strongly that there is no intelligent life (or indeed any life at all) elsewhere in the universe. In fact, it seems that God's desire to create man was the very reason why He created the universe.
Note also that Jesus said that God made man from "the beginning of the creation" (Mark 10:6, my emphasis)—not at the end of billions of years—and he implied that man has been around "from the foundation of the world" (Luke 11:50–51). The creation week, a few thousand years ago, was indeed at the beginning of the creation, and was also the time when God "founded the world". This is entirely appropriate if God's reason for creating the universe was his desire to create man. Atheist Richard Dawkins was being perfectly reasonable when he said, concerning theistic evolution, " … If God wanted to create life and create humans, it would be slightly odd that he should choose the extraordinarily roundabout way of waiting for 10 billion years before life got started and then waiting for another 4 billion years until you got human beings capable of worshipping and sinning … "
Scientific evidence
There is much evidence to support this biblical teaching, such as the historical evidence concerning the resurrection of Jesus;8 but is there any scientific evidence? There is indeed.
- The massive evidence that life cannot arise by chance and that microbes-to-man evolution is impossible clearly favours the biblical picture. It means that life cannot arise elsewhere in the universe unless a God—or a godlike being of vast intelligence and power—chooses to create it. It supports the biblical implication that life in our own world is the only life there is in the universe, and that man's intelligence and spirituality are unique.
- There are features of man's body and mind which is clearly designed for a spiritual purpose, and are far in excess of what is required for mere survival and reproduction. They could not have been produced by a process of evolution, and they are clear evidence of man's unique spiritual status. They include, amongst other things, the unique qualities of the human hand, human language and the human brain. They include also a man's capacity for rational thought—far above that of other animals—together with complex emotions and moral will.
- All the relevant evidence indicates that man has always been a spiritual being. The Neandertals, for example, practiced ritual burial—so they appear to have believed in an afterlife. An example from our own day is the fact that there is a "preponderance of scientific evidence" affirming that "children believe in God even when religious teachings are withheld from them." Secular scientists naturally try to give this evidence an evolutionary explanation, but these findings are hardly what one would expect if man were simply a product of blind evolution.
- Millions of dollars have been spent on futile SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) projects. Electromagnetic waves from outer space have been monitored for many years in a vain attempt to detect evidence of intelligent life. The spacecraft sent to Mars and elsewhere have consistently failed to find any signs of life. These facts do not prove that such life does not exist, but they are entirely consistent with what the Bible tells us.
- The universe is unimaginably vast, with hundreds of billions, perhaps trillions, of galaxies. If the earth were at or near the center of this universe, it would suggest that a man's home is very special, and that man himself is special too. But that is unacceptable to secular scientists, and is one reason why their big-bang hypothesis proposes that the universe has no boundary and no center. However, there is increasing evidence that the universe does indeed have a boundary and a center, and that our own Milky Way galaxy is at or near the center. (The Bible does not say that the earth is at the center of the universe, but such a finding would affirm the special place that man holds in God's plan.)
- That the earth was indeed created before the sun, moon and stars also indicate that man's home, and man himself, are very special. The Bible says that the heavenly bodies were created after the earth, on the fourth day of creation (earth time). This raises a number of interesting questions, such as how light from distant stars reached the earth within the biblical time. New theories, involving 'gravitational time dilation', have developed a number of insightful possibilities as to how this could have occurred. Furthermore, as well as agreeing with the biblical account, the new theories explain certain phenomena in a much better way than the big bang hypothesis. In fact, the big bang has its own 'distant starlight' problem as well as so many other flaws that even many secular scientists reject it.
The facts of true science support the Bible's teaching that mankind is the pinnacle of creation.
- Another reason why our planet, the earth, is a special place is that many crucial factors have to be 'just right' for a world to support life—and in the case of the earth, all those factors are exactly right. In fact, it is very likely (from a scientific point of view) that the earth is the only planet in the universe which is able to support life as we know it. Even some secular scientists admit this.
- There is powerful evidence that the universe, the solar system and the earth are only a few thousand years old, and the same is true of all life, including man. For example, the 'load' of harmful mutations which all genomes carry is increasing so rapidly that all life would be extinct by now if it began millions of years ago. This supports the biblical teaching that man was created perfect only a few thousand years ago, at the beginning of the creation..

Alone Walkyng Lyrics - Hades Almighty
[Written by Richard Chaucer anno 1572]
alone walkyng, in thought planing,
and sore sighing, all desolate.
me remembryng, of my livyng,
my dethe wishyng,
bothe erly and late.
infortunate, is so my fate,
that vote ye what? out of measure.
my life I hate, thus desperate
in soche pore eslate doe I endure.
of othir cure am I not sure
thus to endure is hard certain.
such is my ure I you ensure:
what creature
maie have more pain?
my truthe so plain is take in vain,
and grete disdain in remembraunce;
yet I full faine
would me complaine
meto abstaine from this penaunce:
but in substaunce none allegeaunce
of my grevaunce can I not finde:
right so my chaunce with
doeth me avaunce
and thus an ende.

Doctors say that the warning signs of lymphoma are often very subtle—so subtle that the most common symptoms are made up of health ailments that could very well be shrugged off as minor. That's why experiencing one or 2 may not even spur a doctor's visit.
However, if you experience multiple symptoms, it's not time to panic, but it may be time to book a check up with your doctor. Here are the ten warning symptoms associated with lymphoma…
1. Swelling
Severe swelling in the face, chest, and neck can occur if a lymphoma of the neck or chest develops into a large growth and blocks the flow of blood vessels to the area affected.

Tag Archives: Jay Lake
My Friend, Jay Lake
By Ken Scholes
This issue of Talebones runs both a little longer and a little shorter on quality than the last.
Those were the first of Jay Lake's words I ever read. My third publication had just come out and I'd succumbed to the writerly pull toward Googling one's self. I paused here. "A little shorter on quality than the last." That made me a bit nervous but then I kept reading….
One story, Ken Scholes' "Edward Bear and the Very Long Walk," brought me a sense of finality so strong I had to lay down the magazine and wipe my eyes.
What followed was my first ever rave review and I was so moved by it that once I wiped my eyes I tracked down that reviewer and sent him a thank you note. He responded with prompt cheer and more high praise for the story.
Not long after, I learned that Jay lived in the Northwest and was going to be at Norwescon. So while I was there, standing in line at a restaurant, I mentioned to Patrick Swenson (the editor of Talebones at the time) that Jay Lake was supposedly at the con and I really wanted to meet him. Patrick laughed and pointed to a crazily dressed, somewhat loud fellow behind us in line. "That's him there."
It was a match made in heaven. Or maybe a match lit in hell. It was one of those rare "just add imagination" instant friendships. Our muses got on well. So did our senses of humor. And as we got to know each other—and as I settled into the Portland area—we started hanging out more and more. For most of a decade, we ate lunch together weekly at the Barley Mill on Hawthorne. I do not know how many tons of Cajunized tatertots we ate, chased with an ocean of iced tea, over the years. He inspired—or dared, or cajoled, or solicited for anthologies—at least a third of my short story inventory. He dared me to take two of those short stories and bend them into Lamentation and the rest of the Psalms of Isaak. My checkered past as a former boy preacher fascinated him and he frequently referred to me as his spiritual director though we shared a very similar worldview as secular humanists. Though to be honest, most of his spiritual direction involved me offering advice and a listening ear around his love life. Still, I liked the title and was happy to be there for him.
He was one my closest friends.
Jay died two months ago after a long, hard, losing battle with cancer. Before he went, the internet exploded with testimonies of love and pictures of Jay out in the world being himself. It was an outpouring from our tribe the likes of which I've never been so close to before in my life. But I get why.
Jay loved people and spent himself for them. He helped a lot of writers find their way, find their voice, find markets and he entertained the masses with his words and with his playful way in the world. And he lived transparently, letting the world see him at his best and his worst. He even made his cancer an open book, inviting others to experience it through him and find something they needed—a connection to him, encouragement in their own illness or the illnesses of their loved ones, a sense of perspective. He cared and he did what he could do to help others along the way. And he told amazing stories. Turned loose with a blank page, Jay would fill it up out of the depths of who he was and, as his mojo increased with practice, he'd find a home for his words out in the world.
I'm still coming up out of the fog of this loss. It hit me differently—harder even—than some of the others I've faced over the last several years. The idea that he's gone is unfathomable to me and my memories of him live everywhere. His books are in my den. Photos he took of my daughters hang on my hallway walls. And then of course, there's the more direct contact. More than memory, something like time travel. Jay, in 2008, when he was first diagnosed…wrote me a letter.
It arrived last week.
I guess I checked out, the letter begins. Sorry, buddy. I love you.
There was more…logistics around writing stuff and funeral arrangements, things already nailed down in conversations over his six year fight with cancer. And then he closed asking me to keep an eye on his daughter and to love my wife and all my kids, both literary and human.
They surely won't be the last words I read of Jay's, but they are his last words to me and after I wiped my eyes from that sense of finality, I put the letter into my treasure box, high on the treasure shelf in the Den of Ken. It lives there now with my letters from Ray Bradbury and James Stewart and the other mementos I've picked up along the way.
There will never be another Jay Lake.
Oh, I miss my friend.

Missing Jay Lake
By J. A. Pitts
I lost one of my very best friends recently and the hole it has left in my life has yet to close. It will take a while, I'm sure, due to the nature of the friendship and the powerful connection we had.
I'm a writer. I've been one nearly all my life. I remember falling in love with story from my very first memories. Jay Lake was a consummate story teller, whether on his blog, his short stories, his novels, or just over the phone. That was the first thing that clicked between us: craft and story. We shared a language, a secret mission, a vocation, and an obsession. We wanted to change the world with our words. And Jay was further along that highway than I, but there were plenty of times that we stopped and shared directions—where he would ensure I knew of the speed traps and the rough roads ahead. That was his gift, a willingness to share his life in all its raging glory, with anyone who needed a boost or a guide.
I've always had an image in my head of an open field with snow covered mountains in the distance. With this as a backdrop, I imagine my two best friends—Ken Scholes and Jay Lake—and me, with giant feathered Icarus wings straining upward in an achingly blue sky, wings beating toward the sun. Jay is in the far lead, his arms outstretched and his long hair flowing behind him as he dares to breach the heavens. Next is Ken, leaded boots falling away from him as his wings dip in a strong pull to thrust him skyward… and me, on the ground, struggling with the bootstraps, my wings poised and ready once I understand how to lose the artificial weights that kept me pinned to the earth.
This was a metaphor for our writing careers. Jay had already learned to stretch his wings and soar above the clouds by the time I'd met him. He knew what he wanted and despite the demons we all battle, had found his voice and was pushing as hard as his wings could go to get above the rim of the world and into the stars.
I always admired that about him. Now, don't get me wrong, he struggled like the rest of us, but it was his clear vision, his dedication, and his driving passion that allowed me to love him.
Jay had given up much in his life to further his writing—everything from television to board games—expending every available moment on his blog, his relationships, and most of all, his stories. He was a man who did what he had to to provide for his family and yet found ample time to pursue his dreams.
And what dreams they were—clowns and spaceships, lost children and clockwork men. He had an imagination unfettered by social fear or societal expectations. If you've never heard him read one of his own works, you have missed a visceral experience. Whether it was barbecue in the old west with Satan himself, or the creepy and terrifying Goat Cutter, Jay had a way of pulling the strings of our fears and our loves and showing them back to us, like a still beating heart in the tight fist of his storytelling.
Everything he did shone with the light of his passion. He was a prolific writer, blogging and writing millions upon millions of words in his lifetime. I never understood how he had the time or even the brain space to put that many words down on the written page in a given time. His example pushed me to hone my skills, dedicate precious time to learning craft, practicing the hard things and generally reaching into the heart of the void to bring forth characters and stories that have altered lives.
And isn't that the most glorious aspect of it all? Hell, I miss him and can't say that I'll never stop being surprised to find him gone from my life, but I also know he touched a lot of people. His words and his love have changed lives across the world, and that is exactly the dream he sought to fulfill.

Jay Lake In Memoriam
Written by Liza Groen Trombi, Editor-in-Chief of Locus Magazine
Jay Lake was something of a wonder in the genre community. He was an incredibly prolific writer, with a wild imagination and a versatile talent that allowed him to range freely in his fiction. He was also one of the most vibrant and generous people I've ever known.
His conversations were like his fiction, full of sundry, rich, and engrossing details about life. He told stories about his past adventures, his work, his daughter, of whom he was so proud and for whom he worked so hard. He would talk late into the night and had no inhibitions about telling the private and entertaining details of his life. He was passionate about the things he believed in, but he also tried to find wisdom in the world around him and that made him a kind friend and counsel. He befriended people easily and made clear efforts to "pay it forward" to the science fiction community.
As to his writing… In the short time from his first publication in 2001 till his death in 2014, he published ten novels, five collections, and over 300 short stories, with his first novel, Rocket Science, coming out in 2005. I remember Jay telling me once that while writing he always held the whole story inside his head—beginning to end. He described building that capacity to contain story from when he was first starting to write, working up from short stories to novelettes and novellas, and when he finally could hold a whole novel in his head, he seemed unstoppable. Even after being diagnosed with cancer in 2008, he kept up a mighty pace. The first year he had chemotherapy, he wrote about a quarter-million words, despite painful and disconcerting disruptions to his ability to write. His final work, which, unfinished, will undoubtedly never see print, was a massive space opera trilogy, the Sunspin series, planned at over 600,000 words with 11 points of view and 25 significant characters, broken into three books each in three parts. In 2011, he told me, "Essentially I'm writing nine 60- to 80,000-word novels… What I'm really doing is giving cancer the bird."
He left us a legacy of intimate details of his fight against the cancer that finally killed him, blogging about his experiences with cancer treatment and writing stories about grief and sickness. He and friends crowdfunded to have his entire genome sequenced, and then he made the data available to the public, the first time that has ever been done, in hopes that the information might help future cancer research. He openly described online the rollercoaster his life turned into once his mortality was brought close, to bring understanding to people who had never experienced cancer. An entire generation of the SF community watched his struggle with cancer on his blog and were brought closer together because of it.
Our friendship's native habitat was at conventions; as a result it has not fully sunk in for me that I won't have any more long, late-night conversations with him, or run into him at a party, or be swept into a crowd of laughing people in a hallway with him at the center. We've all seen a huge outpouring of affection and remembrance for Jay since his death, but his work as a SF writer, as an anthologist, an essayist, his contributions to the field, and the impact he had on the community will not go away. His works will live on and be read, and we will remember this exemplary writer and friend who lived his life fully and left us a legacy of story. Vale, Jay.

Starred Review: Last Plane to Heaven: The Final Collection by Jay Lake
"Lake's command of language is strong and sincere, and his stories of everyday heartaches, filled with secret fears and self-delusion, whisk readers from inner geographies of mind to limitless gulfs of space… his fans and friends may find some comfort in the hope that his words will live on forever."
Jay Lake's Last Plane to Heaven: The Final Collection got a starred review in Publishers Weekly!
Here's the full review, from the July 18 issue:
The prolific Lake's death in 2014, after a long, harrowing, and very public battle with cancer, gives extra weight to these 32 epitaphs. Lake's command of language is strong and sincere, and his stories of everyday heartaches, filled with secret fears and self-delusion, whisk readers from inner geographies of mind to limitless gulfs of space. Lake's characters emotionally embody the doomed heroism of Nordic gods sneering at grim fates, finding bittersweet redemption in dark byways of human ignorance. Reality is shattered when an alien controls a hardened mercenary's dreams in the darkly romantic "Last Plane to Heaven: A Love Story." Cynical humor greets oblivion in "The Speed of Time." In surprisingly intelligent space opera ("Permanent Fatal Errors") and a visit to the City Imperishable ("Promises"), revelations eschew oversentimentality for moral complexity. "Such Bright and Risen Madness in Our Names" injects pathos into the Cthulhu mythos, questioning identity and raising hackles. Malevolent faeries face metaphysical annihilation in a dying young woman's cancer cells in "Her Fingers Like Whips, Her Eyes Like Razors." And in "The Cancer Catechism," Lake discovers faith in the inevitability of death. As he states, "In the end, words are all that survive us"; his fans and friends may find some comfort in the hope that his words will live on forever.
Last Plane to Heaven: The Final Collection will be published on September 16.
New Releases: 9/2/2014

"'It is a job I love,' she says, 'but it doesn't do enough. Every week I get requests for past columns about moving, infidelity, in-laws, kids, deployment, and "that one about geographic bachelors."' Current books written for military families don't cover those topics. They admirably address the nuts and bolts of military life. They tell the least initiated spouse what to call the chief and when to get in touch with Navy Relief and how to sign up for dental insurance. But they don't offer any kind of philosophy about how to live well within the military community. Eckhart's book addresses this need, a need that has grown all the more glaring post-9/11."

Excellent. I love the Harry Bosch series!
Harry Bosch at his best, in deep doo-doo with his quirky boss(es) and getting results. There's a little international flare, the victim is European, but this 20 year old unsolved murder is all California based. I listened with interest and completed it in a couple of days. Meanwhile, Harry tries to raise his daughter; I wonder if Harry will get another wife?
this one felt all over the place. O'Fool. Shawn Stone. Anneke, the 1992 riots.
I felt it needed to be longer to really tie these things all together. Especially the incredibly rushed ending. I love that as we're possibly nearing the end of the series and Bosch's tie on the Force, I'm glad he got resolution for one of his personal Open/Unsolveds.
Harry Bosch is working a niggling cold-case from two decades past. As the story unfolds, we find him in hot water with his superiors once more, as he takes on the case as a personal mission. We are drawn through portions of the Iraq war, to Germany, to New York, and - finally - to the California/Rodney King judgment riots.
We follow along as he uncovers an unexpected, secondary crime, that involves several individuals - some of whom have become far more influential in the past two decades.
The Good: It's a Bosch book. And I can't get enough of those. When Connelly is passionate about something, it shows through in those sections of the book.
The Bad: Those sections seem too few and far between in this work, linked by moments and pages that just feel dashed off. I think that, perhaps, Mr. Connelly might have been be spread a bit too thin on deadlines (or some such thing) to give this work the time it needed to be something great.
The Overall: The plot line is unique for one of his works. Unfortunately, it's also a bit more transparent (to a degree) than of his others. It was a decent read, but nothing to rave about. I missed the craftsmanship in this work that I have come to know - and love - Connelly to be capable of.
As always Harry Bosch amazes me..he almost got caught in a pickle he couldn't get out of. Always the one to not back off..Everyone counts or nobody counts.

No descriptions found.
In a case that spans 20 years, Harry Bosch links the bullet from a recent crime to a file from 1992, the killing of a young female photographer during the L.A. riots. Harry originally investigated the murder, but it was then handed off to the Riot Crimes Task Force and never solved. Now Bosch's ballistics match indicates that her death was not random violence, but something more personal, and connected to a deeper intrigue. Like an investigator combing through the wreckage after a plane crash, Bosch searches for the 'black box,' the one piece of evidence that will pull the case together.… (more)

Love Letters from a 1951 Ferranti wins first Tony Sale Award
Summary: Dr David Link has won the Computer Conservation Society's first Tony Sale Award for an art project that runs a program written to generate love letters on one of the first commercial computers
Dr David Link's LoveLetters, an art project recreating a historic computer program for writing emotional notes, has won the first annual Tony Sale Award, launched by the Computer Conservation Society at the BCS headquarters in London.
Link's reconstruction involves running the original software, written by Professor Christopher Strachey, on a functional equivalent of the 1951 Ferranti Mark 1 computer on which it first composed its algorithm-generated love letters. These would be addressed to "Darling Love" or "Jewel Duck" or whatever, and signed M. U. C. for Manchester University Computer, unless the user entered a name in 5-bit Baudot code. Words were selected using the Ferranti's random number generator. For example:
The Ferranti Mark 1 was a commercialised version of the pioneering Manchester Baby computer, which used Williams Tubes (cathode ray tubes) for storage instead of for screen displays. Link's version uses a PC emulator.
Link's LoveLetters installation does use some original components, such as a Creed 7 teleprinter and various switches, to give viewers a better idea of what it was like. However, after much searching, Link says that "most of the components don't exist anymore."
But the installation does include the manuals (Turing 1952, Prinz 1954), Geoff Tootill's lab notebook – he was one of the main constructors of the machine – and the maintenance engineers' logbook from July 1951.
Link was born in Düsseldorf in 1971 and did his PhD in Berlin on the early history of computer text generation. When he read about Alan Turing working on a program to generate love letters [in Alan Turing: The Enigma, by Andrew Hodges] he says, "I was completely thrilled. I was even more thrilled when I found the source code had been preserved in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. Receiving the source code forced me to write an emulator to run it, because it was impossible to understand the program. That led me to construct this hardware memorial. That's the potted version!"
LoveLetters has been extremely successful. This year, it has been exhibited at the Alexander Ochs Galleries in Berlin, and Documenta (13) in Kassel, Germany. Later this month it will be at the Heinz Nixdorf Forum in Paderborn, Germany, and next month at the Microwave Festival in Hong Kong. In 2010, it was part of the Fun With Software exhibition shown in Eindhoven in Holland and then the Arnolfini gallery in Bristol.
Dr David Hartley, past chairman of the Computer Conservation Society, explains: "Tony Sale, who died a year ago, founded the CCS, he did the Colossus rebuild, helped found The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, and so on. He was a unique person, but above all he was an engineer. To commemorate and keep alive his memory, we thought we ought to have an award for someone doing some good engineering work in computer conservation – not a lecture – because that was in his image. That's engineering in the sense of both hardware and software."
"That's why I consider myself doubly lucky to have received the prize," adds Link, "because it's coming from an engineering background. It means LoveLetters has been accepted by both the art world and the engineering world."
Link is now collecting other examples of Ferranti Mark 1 software: "everything I can find while some of the people who worked on it are still alive." He says his next project may be to recreate another of Strachey's programs: one that plays draughts (checkers).
Other projects nominated for the first Tony Sale Award, sponsored by Google, were a DEC PDP1 restoration at the Computer History Museum in California; the Time-Line Computer Archive being developed by Michael Armstrong and Sandra Hodson, in Wigton, West Cumbria; and a reconstruction of Konrad Zuse's Z3 Computer (PDF) in Hunsfeld, Germany.

There aren't many hotels in the Pendle area that we've been back to but we have been back here 3 times. Not perfect but pretty good and great for walks, villages etc and really good food and staff, only 2 criticisms, we prefer king size beds which are becoming standard in hotels and the food which is good needs a bit more variety on the menu; add some salmon and chicken but the cod was excellent and so are the steaks. Love the old wood panelling in the main building too, great old house. Give it a try. less »

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod's. It works well, but isn't as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that's not an issue, but if you're planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod's larger screen and better browser may be important.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
I have really learned some new things through your blog. One other thing I would really like to say is the fact newer laptop operating systems usually allow more memory for use, but they furthermore demand more ram simply to operate. If people's computer can't handle additional memory plus the newest software program requires that storage increase, it might be the time to shop for a new Computer system. Thanks
I'm typically to blogging and i in point of fact respect your content. The article has really peaks my interest. I'm free to bookmark your web position and hold glance for brand slap new to the job information.
Interesting blog post. Some tips i would like to make contributions about is that personal computer memory must be purchased if your computer is unable to cope with that which you do by using it. One can add two random access memory boards with 1GB each, for example, but not one of 1GB and one with 2GB. One should make sure the manufacturer's documentation for own PC to be sure what type of memory space is necessary.
My spouse and i still can't quite believe that I could always be one of those reading the important points found on your web site. My family and I are sincerely thankful on your generosity and for providing me the possibility to pursue my chosen profession path. Thank you for the important information I acquired from your blog.
I wanted to follow up and let you know how much I appreciated discovering this blog today. We would consider it a real honor to do things at my workplace and be able to utilize the tips shared on your web site and also be involved in visitors' feedback like this.

The pristine Zune browser is surprisingly safe, then again lesser to the iPod's It works effectively, but is not as swift as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. Ought to you frequently map on utilizing the web browser that is not a difficulty, on the contrary in the event you're planning to browse the web alot outdated of your PMP then the iPod's bigger protect and healthier browser could also be real important.
Yay google is my queen aided me to find this great site! . "The most dangerous strategy is to jump a chasm in two leaps." by Benjamin Disraeli.
Thanks for your publication. What I want to comment on is that when looking for a good on-line electronics retail outlet, look for a site with complete information on important factors such as the personal privacy statement, basic safety details, any payment guidelines, and other terms plus policies. Constantly take time to browse the help along with FAQ segments to get a much better idea of what sort of shop functions, what they can do for you, and how you can make the most of the features.
Thanks for your posting. One other thing is that if you are marketing your property on your own, one of the difficulties you need to be mindful of upfront is how to deal with household inspection reports. As a FSBO owner, the key about successfully moving your property plus saving money upon real estate agent commissions is expertise. The more you realize, the more stable your home sales effort is going to be. One area exactly where this is particularly crucial is reports.
Between me and my husband we've owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I've settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Very good written post. It will be beneficial to anyone who utilizes it, including yours truly :). Keep doing what you are doing – looking forward to more posts.
wonderful points altogether, you just received a brand new reader. What may you suggest in regards to your post that you simply made some days ago? Any sure?

I'm not sure why but this site is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I'll check back later on and see if the problem still exists.

Hi there, how's it going? Just shared this post with a colleague, we had a good laugh.
Hands down, Apple's app store wins by a mile. It's a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I'm not sure I'd want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
I would like to take the ability of thanking you for that professional assistance I have constantly enjoyed checking out your site. We are looking forward to the commencement of my university research and the entire groundwork would never have been complete without browsing your web blog. If I could be of any assistance to others, I would be thankful to help by what I have gained from here.

An impressive let somebody in on, I immediately given this onto a colleague who was doing fairly similar evaluation on this. He really purchased me breakfast because I establish it for him.. smile.

Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Some genuinely great blog posts on this internet site, thanks for contribution. "A religious awakening which does not awaken the sleeper to love has roused him in vain." by Jessamyn West.
Thanks for the ideas you are discussing on this web place.

My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on several websites for about a year and am worried about switching to another platform. I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress posts into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I simply needed to thank you so much all over again. I'm not certain the things that I might have sorted out without the ways documented by you regarding such subject matter. It was before an absolute daunting concern in my position, nevertheless discovering the very expert form you resolved that took me to cry over fulfillment. I'm happier for your work and then hope that you are aware of a powerful job you happen to be doing instructing the others thru a blog. I know that you haven't met all of us.
I like what you guys are up too. Such smart work and reporting! Keep up the superb works guys I have incorporated you guys to my blogroll. I think it will improve the value of my site
What I have observed in terms of computer system memory is always that there are specifications such as SDRAM, DDR and the like, that must match the requirements of the motherboard. If the personal computer's motherboard is reasonably current and there are no operating-system issues, changing the memory space literally usually takes under sixty minutes. It's among the easiest laptop upgrade treatments one can think about. Thanks for expressing your ideas.

I'm impressed, I need to say. Actually rarely do I encounter a blog that's both educative and entertaining, and let me let you know, you will have hit the nail on the head. Your thought is outstanding; the difficulty is one thing that not enough people are speaking intelligently about. I'm very completely satisfied that I stumbled throughout this in my search for something relating to this.
Your place is valueble for me. Thanks!…

Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass' favor.

Many thanks to you for sharing these types of wonderful discussions. In addition, the ideal travel and also medical insurance plan can often ease those fears that come with vacationing abroad. A medical crisis can shortly become very expensive and that's sure to quickly place a financial burden on the family's finances.

Glad to be one of many visitants on this awful web site :D.
At this time it appears like uytip Movable Type is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?
Thank you it was a very wonderful experience. But let's take a visit to my design http://www.cutedressgstring.com
I'm a believer in Ky
I am a long term resident of T,Land.,in Isarn.No doubt Thaksin is corrupt, but corruption is endemic here,. Many on the P.A.D. are probably corrupt.This idiocy is about power. The people in P.A.D., historically have run the country, politically and economically from time immemorial.Now, they have lost their political power, and they are furious. Who are they? .They are Chinese Thais, who control over 90% of the non-agricultural economy, who detest and loath Isarn people, and have repressed them for years. They see Isarn people as having no intelligence, not worthy of being allowed to vote. They also see them as cannon fodder for industry, to be used and abused to advance their own wealth.Why do Isarn people love Thaksin?. Very simply, he was the first P.M. ever to seriously improve the lives of Isarn. Prior to Thaksin,the ruling elite in Bkk. ,refused to help the poor, peasant farmers, happy to ignore them.Thaksin did so much for them, like ,the village loan scheme, which angered the Chinese-Thai LOAN SHARKS, who were instantly wiped out of business, he built bitumen roads,set up the B30 health scheme, so that people who had never been able to afford to go a doctor, now could, saving so many lives . I could go on ,suffice to say Isarn people will forever remain indebted to Thaksin and any party he endorses, will automatically, become the Government of the day.This is why the P.A.D. hate democracy.And racially, the darker skin of Isarn

Very good article.Thanks Again. Want more.
Military (wife) proudly hurts and humiliates Muslim (girl) in public, receives barely a slap on the wrist…
I'm Singaporean. All I say, I myself would go on protests against LKY and PAP if I could. But that's just not possible in Singapore. Protesting in Singapore would just get people in jail.
That was a good one land#78. However, on #79 I have strong reservations on blaming the manipulated, poor Thai voters. For me, it is the wealthy manipulators that must be made accountable for the state that Thai Democracy is in. Ofcourse, a positive from all this is that the rural voters will demand more from their politicians and governments and present/future Thai governments must/will have to be responsive to their needs/plights. Thinking optimistically, this can be a win-win scenario less corruption (a major Achilles heel) and a more broad-based democracy.
Sorry to butt in again, Nirut, but I could not resist.Aside from the anthropoligst's take on things, perhaps a psychologist's perspective on why people need rituals, superstitions and religion would also be helpful in understanding these things.
jonny #52 re. "Who – or what – do you support in Thailand? And why?": Nich & Andrew are academics, & NM is an extension of their academic work, all the more valuable because it has opened up an avenue of discussion which non-academics interested in mainland SEA may participate in. Academics are under no obligation to "support" anything except the emergence of facts & the free discussion of those facts in order to give them meaning. The worst kind of academic becomes partisan, obsessively aligned to one side in the presentation of facts, especially in relation to political situations. This may cause them to leave out inconvenient truths from their analyses, and even to be revisionist'. Obviously analysis & interpretation will be informed with the commentators' sense of what is right' in a moral sense, and especially what the world considers is right, as evidenced in such documents as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, legal decisions in various countries, and the publications of academic experts'. I can't see that Nich or Andrew have exceeded the boundaries of normal academic discussion in their own contributions, and in fact they've given ample opportunities for all sides to air their views, including articles from at least one non-Thai SEA academic who is distinctly partisan & puts forward unsubstantiated facts', in order to foster discussion.
More than 100 people arrested by Police for "encouraging" people to participate in the Bersih walk.
Throughout the grievous political events, Giles Ji turns out to be a virtuous man. For Giles Ji, it is easy to discern the difference between moral and immoral, he is impervious to any bad things. He has struggled to imbue the Thai society with decent values, a difficult task in this day and time. The audacious Giles Ji dared to think outside the box and lead the way. He talks about equality in a pre-modern feudalistic present day Thailand, he speaks for the weak and the working class people. Giles Ji is well known for having a judicious temperament. He is extremely articulate when it comes to expressing his political views; as a result, Giles Ji is respected among academics and intellectuals. Because of all of those, a stream of invectives pour from Giles Ji political opponents' mouths as they attempt to block his rise to mission of serious purpose.
An interesting discussion is worth comment. There's no doubt that that you need to write more on this topic, it may not be a taboo matter but generally folks don't speak about these issues. To the next! Best wishes!!
Hi there, I found your blog by way of Google while searching for a related matter, your web site got here up, it appears great. I've bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.

Heya i am for the first time here. I came across this board and I find It really useful & it helped me out much. I hope to give something back and aid others like you aided me.
