Science in Christian Perspective
From: JASA 4 (December
*Paper given at the Sleventh Annuual Convention of the American Scientific Affiliation at Wheaton College Science Station, Rapid City, South Dakota, August 26-29, 1952.
It is not surprising then that our Sunday School literature reflects a feeling of distrust of science. The Teacher: April 1, 1951, published by the Southern Baptist Convention stated, "As we study Genesis we are not to look for a scientific account of the origin of the world, and we are not to be disturbed by scientist's criticisms of the Genesis account." God's Plan of the Ages, Book T-91, page 7, published by Gospel Light Press: "In the Bible there is no human science. The Laws of God's Word spurn the ever changing theories of men." Concordia Teachers Quarterly, vol. 36, 3, page 61 April-June 1951, "No one was present at the beginning of things. Either we shall accept the only satisfying answer to the question, which the Bible gives or we shall remain ignorant and unsatisfied. Christians humbly accept the Biblical account."
These quotations are illustrative of many more that could be given. Unfortunately, however, Sunday School literature authors have gone to the extremes of ridicule and extravagant interpretations of their own that have done great harm to the faith of our youth when the truth was learned. For our youth supposed that it was the Bible that was in error. In the Los Angeles, American Scientific Affiliation Sunday School literature survey, Peter Stoner said, "In my experience of dealing with college young people, with questions of faith, I have found the reconstruction theory (that man was created 4004 B.C., after a general reorganization of the chaos of a former creation) to be the chief killer of faith."
Walter Lammerts says, "My experience, in dealing with the problems of Christian students, is that unscientific teachings in Sunday School and church are the main problem of Christian young people."
Robert Keesey, "Of the many and varied controversial issues in the Bible, those which involve a con flict with scientific theories are probably the most effectual in causing a loss of faith."
F. Alton Everest, "Presenting one interpretation of a highly controversial passage as the Word of God is intellectual dishonesty. We should admit that this is an area in which we do not know."
We must say, however, that not all cases of apostasy are caused this way. There are some students that forsake the Christian faith who, though raised in the church, have never experienced the salvation of God, so when faced with the attacks of unbelief are caught without the ministry of the indwelling Spirit of God, Who alone can keep them.
Let us consider now some of the thinking behind the scenes. Does anything have to happen twice in order to happen once? In other words, is science justified in rejecting the miraculous because it cannot be repeated in the laboratory? Wherever possible new phenomena must be capable of repetition as a proof of validity. In some cases a thing has to happen several hundred times before we can be sure that it has really happened and is not just chance. Note that I said before we can be sure it has really happened. The Virgin Birth of Christ by its very nature is something that cannot be repeated, hence other tests of validity must be used, His sinless life being one of them.
There are two parts to science, (1) observed facts, and (2) the interpretation of them. The facts are not subject to revision but the interpretation of them may be totally reversed by subsequently observed facts. All experimental observations must be interpreted .to have meaning. Hence all scientific meaning is in a state of flux. The confusion that this implies is not as profound however, as some philosophers who are accustomed to thinking in absolutes, would have us believe. For most interpretations are so highly probable that they are facts to all intents and purposes. For example, if I were to drop this paper it would fall to the table. This is the observed fact. The most probable interpretation is that a force we know as gravity has pulled it down. Some people, being faced with facts apparently out of harmony with what they believed the Bible taught, have rejected the whole Bible as untrustworthy. This fallacy of absolutes or mania for consistency would, if applied in the sciences, lead to the rejection of all knowledge. For there is no field of science I know of, that doesn't admit basic contradictions somewhere in the phenomena they study. To them it is proof of incomplete knowledge. Can't we say we don't know in Biblical exegesis too?
The general principle of uniformity is neutral and can be used for good or evil, and has been used both ways in scripture. In II Peter 3:3-4, 13-15, the scoffer ridiculed the Idea of coming judgment because things were uniform, but Peter says this uniformity is evidence of God's longsuffering. Our common experience of the dependability of nature is used by the Lord to convince us of the faithfulness of our covenant-keepiTig God, Jer. 31:35-36, and Matt. 6:26. 'Me miracles of the Bible are consistent with the nature of God and are in harmony with the laws of His creation, though we may not know them. This is obviously so, for a house divided against itself cannot stand. The Bible is a revelation of God to man and so should be more understandable to us than the less specific manifestations of God in nature. Still to have an absolute knowledge of spiritual truth it is necessary to have an absolute comprehension as well as an absolute source of knowledge. It is possible through the indwelling Spirit of God to have absolute comprehension, but few if any of us attain to it. Just as God has made it-possible for us to be free from sinning, though none of us attain to this holiness. Science's uniformity in a sense takes God's grace for granted, which one day shall be revealed as a horrible mistake.
I don't believe that Dr. Edward J. Carnell, in "HIS" magazine, means to say that Dr. Laurence Kulp is, a neodeist with all that that implies; but that Dr. Kulp's line of reasoning is the sort of reasoning that the neodeists base their doctrine on. If Dr. Kulp succeeds in establishing the validity of this sort of uniformitarianism, the neodeist doctrine is without refutation, Dr. Carnell feels. I believe, however, that the remedy that Dr. Carnell proposes, that is, that there is no uniformity in nature, is a little extreme. A young chemist was once asked why he was working on war explosives, his answer was that he had to eat! So the questioner attempted to prove that he did not have to eat and hence did not have to work on war explosives. Just because the neodeists claim that their doctrine is the logical outcome of the uniformity of nature, that does not mean that this is so, any more than the young chemist's claim that he had to work on war explosives in order to buy food to eat.
Dr. Carnell's attitude makes it evident that Christian men of science need to foster philosophical thinking that will adequately express our faith in the God we know and love, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe we study. I had once hoped that Christian philosophers and theologians might work in harmony with Christian men of science to our mutual edification and for a united witness to our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; but I fear our fields are too mutually exclusive. The only hope I can see now is that we might believe in our Lord's ability to inspire men in disciplines foreign to our own and depend upon them for matters properly within their sphere. And conversely, be counted on ourselves to contribute on matters within our sphere, such as writing Sunday School lessons on Creation, the Flood, etc.; and doing personal work with young people who come to pastors with doubts of a scientific nature. It is ineffectual and wrong in principle to try to give Bible School and Seminary students a stock answer for those troubled by the theories of science. However, as good personal work does not attempt to answer all of the arguments of unbelief, but presents Christ as the One who is able to save to the uttermost all those who draw nigh to God by Him, so we should not attempt to answer all the arguments that might be conceived, but present Christ as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, weaving into the account all the science we know.
The Bible states that Christian maturity is attained by the exercise of our senses to discern both good and evil. (Hebrews 5:14). If philosophy can help us to discern these differences it shall be our benefactor. How then do we determine absolutes from our experiences of differences? Our assurance of the Deity of Christ is not based on one obscure passage of Scripture but on a great mass of direct and indirect evidence from the Word of God. (I am assuming the Bible to be a source of evidence.) By this evidence we conclude that Christ is different, He is God. In like manner the laws of Genetics have been deduced statistically from a great mass of experimental data. The more differences you have that all point to the same conclusion, and the less differences that seem to contradict it, the more sure you can be of your conclusion. To me the criteria of knowledge An spiritual and scientific matters is the same. They are both based on human experiences of differences. Christ assumed this basis of knowledge when He questioned how men trained in discerning differences in nature could be lacking in spiritual discernment. Matt. 16:14, and Luke 12:54-57.
I believe it Is possible for us to recognize the God. of the Bible, as being the same Person Who created and is maintaining the universe. True, the Bible and nature are distinct manifestations of God, but they are not so unique that the essential being of God is' not' seen in both. My knowledge of God is the basis of my belief that life as we know it is the handiwork , of God. The lack of a knowledge of God by the unchristian scientist leaves him no explanation but chance. Thus evolution is the unbeliever's alternative to faith in God. The Positivist philosopher is tryingi to make logical what evolution intimates, that is, that there is no purpose or design, only chance. The first positiorr of evolution was that of showing man he is an animal and could not expect to live differently from -them:; but it now finds he is only matter and cannot frustrate. the random activity of physical entities, if there -are such.
Rather than contend with the darkened reasoning of an Evolutionary philosophy, why not hit the major premise itself? If anything at all can be shown that.. is not due to chance, then the whole theory of evolution is false. Perhaps the philosophy vs. science problem lies in an incompetent attempt by Christian philosophers to do what Christian men of science so far have failed to do to raise an alternative to this satanic concept, The whole controversy might well disappear if we would turn on Evolution and tear it apart! Politically It predisposes us to communism; economically to materialism; and religiously to atheism.
In conclusion we. have seen that there is a real lack of understanding between Christian philosophers and Christian men of science. A lack that hazards the faith of our youth. The things we disagree on are the nature of knowledge, whether relative or absolute; and the question of uniformity. But behind both disagreements is the diabolic theory of Evolution.
Dr. W. Tinkle: I especially like the statement that the criteria of truth of science and of religion are the~ same. I thoroughly believe this. It has so often been stated that they are different . . . We run into the difficulty of saying that in religion we have, to take just what somebody tells us, i.e. we have to be credulous . . . I do not wish to be that type of person because I have seen morons who were very credulous.
We have faith in religion because we have a good basis for our faith, It agrees with the knowledge that we have. We know that God is faithful. Again, we have faith in science because we have knowledge. There are many gaps in science; however, we believe those theories that are most creditable. I believe that it is very important that we keep in mind that criteria in science and religion are really the same.
Dr. R Hartzler: I would like to ask two questions. What is Neo-deism as used by Sinclair and Carnell? What is this subject of uniformitarianism? I believe there are many here who need to have these subjects explained as a basis for our discussion.
Mr. J. Sinclair: I wish that Carnell were here be cause I am not a philosopher; however, I have done my best to convey the thinking of that group. Neodeism is a new theology. Every once in a while we get a new theology. I believe it is similar to the old Deism. I believe that Dr. Edman could more adequately discuss it for the members.
Dr. V. Edman: Deism became a prevalent mode of philosophy in the later part of the age of enlightenment, i.e. the later part of the 18th century and the first part of the 19th century. Its center of prominence was in England and to some extent on the continent. It was born first of all with the passing of the cre dulity of the middle ages and with the coming of the protestant reformation . . .
It said that there was a God, that he was the creator but in effect had wound up the universe and then had gone out and left it. It has run on like a clock. Thus it calls for a great gulf between mankind and the creator. God-yes, Universe-yes Salvation-no
Just a cold, cruel universe into which we are born and die and leave no mark.
Mr. J. Sinclair: It was also asked that uniformitarianism be defined. In essence it says that the laws which we can now observe changing the shape of the earth involve the same laws which governed the stratigraphic depositions. Rocks which we see in the canyon were formed according to known physical and chemical laws which we are now able to observe in the open.
Mrs. Stam: What is the difference between the new Deism and the old Deism?
Mr. J. Sinclair: Neo-Deism is a coined word, I believe by Dr. Carnell, in which the new theory is the same as the old.
Dr. H. Hartzler: How does C-14 dating, etc., fit in with the new Deism? I don't see the connection.
Mr. J. Sinclair: I believe that Carnell thinks the neo-deists are of the opinion that it would be impossible for God to come into nature and perform a miracle. If he did, it would be chaos in the thinking of the Neo-deists since they believe that God set the laws of the universe in motion and cannot set them aside because He has withdrawn from the universe. So that if you believe in this form of uniformity, then there are certain limitations on God. Carnell feels that the concept of uniformity that the geologists talk about will be used to exclude the possibility of God's entrance into nature to perform miracles.
Dr. P. Bender: I believe that Sinclair presented two different definitions of uniformity. The first was the concept of uniformity as used in geology, that by studying the processes which we see changing the face of the earth we can understand to some extent its past history. The other definition used by Mr. Sinclair is that used by Science in general, i.e. a uniformity of laws based on the belief that the same laws will operate in the same way today as it did yesterday. This is, of course, modified by the concepts of statistics and probabilities which were mentioned.
Dr. P. Wright: I would like to enlarge on the Geologists' definition: "The present is the key to the past." But that doesn't say that the processes have been going on at the same rate, for example, the same rate of deposition or erosion. The amount of sediment that a stream carries increases very rapidly as its velocity increases, and with it the erosion and deposition. The law is the same, but the rate is not constant.
Dr. B. Sutherland: The statement that we arrive at the knowledge of spiritual things the same way we arrive at a knowledge of scientific things is true in a way . . . The evidence is not the same kind . . . Historical evidence is unique in that it happens only once. Physical sciences are concerned with arriving at facts that occur over and over again and these must be uniform in nature before there could be a miracle. God does not perform miracles promiscuously.
Dr. P. Stoner: There is a problem involved that is most critical. That is a lack of agreement between science and philosophy. Philosophy is suspicious of the sciences. I attended in Pasadena a series of lectures given by a prominent philosopher on the relationship between science and Scripture. Night after night he presented the conclusions of science regarding certain events recorded in the Bible. As far as I can remember, in every case, science was grossly misrepresented and the conclusions were of course erroneous. Science and philosophy should get together.
Mr. F. Everest: There is a tremendous difference between the method of approach of the scientist and the philosopher. As long as the philosopher insists on God creating trees with rings in them and light half way between earth and stars he will be in conflict. It is not a question of whether God could do those things. It is only a question of whether God's nature would allow it. There is the crux of the disagreement.
Mr. J. Sinclair: Recapitulation-I believe we got away from the point of the paper. Dr. Barnhouse wrote a defense of Dr. Kulp. I do not believre that is the issue. Dr. Carnell does not believe that Kulp is a Neo-deist but only that this concept of uniformity which Dr. Kulp is using is the sort of thing that will strengthen the argument of the Neo-deists, and will leave us without a defense against them.
As to whether God could have created a world of deception, i.e. trees with rings, etc., I believe there are things that God cannot do, things for example that are not consistent with his nature. God cannot lie.

I have reviewed tubing down the White River on this site previously (this is the river tubing from Ocho). Our daughter did it when she was 8 and she is an extremely tiny person. You do have a life jacket. There is only enough "rapids" to make you feel like you have had a little adventure. The tubes have a metal bottom on them so that you don't "bump" in the shallow water and you would be pretty hard pressed to tip out of one. The scenery is beautiful. The guides, like so many people in Jamaica (not sellers!) are personable, talkative and happy in their work and seemed to like people in general and my kids in particular. My tiny daughter had a guide to herself who made sure she never got hung up on the banks. It was a wonderful time. Take a waterproof camera. One our favorite tours.
We did tube on the Great River (I think that is what is was called) out of Mo-Bay.
The water in March was extremely low. It was not as scenic and not particularly fun or worth it. Hope this helps.
Other things we have done with children in Jamaica is climb Dunns River Falls and tour a private estate garden (you make a human chain at the falls, it was okay with kids but I like the tubing better), horseback ride on a plantation and the beach (this through Shoretrips.com) which is our favorite thing we have done there.
I do not advocate going it alone in Jamaica, even for a short shopping trip. Stick with a ship's tour or Shoretrips.com (they are USA based, and insured, and haven't had anyone miss a ship in 8 years). Jamaica is pathetically poor with about 30% unemployment and a very high crime rate. Culturally the people trying to sell you stuff (give you a tour, braid your hair) are the most aggressive merchants I have ever encountered and many veteran cruisers stay on the ship rather than deal with them.

I have to thank Nick Pepe of "T-Birds by Nick" in Van Nuys, CA, for his helpful advice in getting the details right. I used art store craft acrylics for the dash, carpet, and door trim. If I recall, the two colors I used were "Blueberry" and "Teal", and mixed them until I got the right feel (using a photo as reference) for an available interior scheme with the Chalfonte Blue Ford color.

Gas leak reported in Holly Springs
Posted March 26, 2014
Holly Springs, N.C. — A gas leak was reported at the intersection of Main Street and Holly Springs Road Wednesday afternoon.
A construction crew installing underground fiber optic cables struck what was believed to be an underground gas tank at around 2:20 p.m., resulting in gas being released, authorities said.
Two nearby businesses - a gas station and a Walgreens - were evacuated. Authorities believe the tank belongs to the gas station, where a leak alarm went off.
An underground tank should not have been where crews were digging, officials said.
Gas was not in the roadway but its odor was present throughout the area, authorities said.
"We have checked all the storm drains, the water pipes and the septic and sewer that is in the area and we have no readings where it went," said Chief LeRoy Smith with Holly Springs Fire & Rescue. "So we are not sure if it is leaking, where it went."
Readings at the gas station show it could have lost thousands of gallons of fuel, officials said.

London, April 06 (ANI): Excessive drinking and obesity are leading to tens of thousands of cases of cancer in the UK, according to a leading charity.
The World Cancer Research Fund claims some of the most common cancers could be avoided with healthier diet and exercise.
Prof Martin Wiseman, from World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF), said an estimated around 80,000 cases of cancer could be prevented in Britain.
"Because we read so much about America's problems with obesity and junk food, people may find it surprising that the proportion of cancer cases related to diet, physical activity and weight is just as bad here in the UK," the Telegraph quoted Prof Wiseman as saying.
He added: "It is true that a higher proportion of cancer cases in the US are linked to body fat, but not by much. In the US, we estimate that for the seven types of cancer that are weight related, just under 20 per cent could be prevented through people being a healthy weight. In the UK, this figure is about 17 per cent.
"But one reason the overall situation in the UK is as bad is the amount of alcohol we drink and this means we need to do more to raise awareness that alcohol increases cancer risk. To take breast cancer as an example, an estimated 20 per cent of cases in the UK can be attributed to alcohol. That is double the estimate for the US."
According to the expert, the forms of cancer that could be prevented include pharynx, larynx and oesophagus in the throat, lung, stomach, pancreas, gallbladder, liver, bowel, breast, cancer of the lining of the womb, prostate and kidney.
Wiseman added: "It is important to emphasise that estimating the proportion of cancer cases that are preventable is difficult and this means that these figures should be treated with caution. But even so, they do give an idea of how high the stakes are and highlight the importance of getting across the message about the potential impact that lifestyle changes can have."
Almost 300,000 people are diagnosed with cancer in Britain every year. (ANI)

Rain will not stop play at this year's Olympic Games, thanks to scientists from Salford University who will be working with meteorologists from around the world to track the weather during the September event.
Neil Fox and Michael Sleigh from Salford's school of environment and science will be using Gandolf, a short-range forecasting system developed by the Met Office, to monitor weather patterns over Sydney. Gandolf can predict the first signs of rain, thunder or hail more than 90 minutes in advance of a deluge.
"The Olympics attract billions of TV viewers and great amounts of sponsorship, so if the organisers are informed well in advance that fast-approaching rain is going to develop into thunder and lightning over the stadium, it gives them the confidence to act accordingly," Dr Fox said.
As a trial visit to Sydney last autumn was accompanied by warm weather, Dr Fox is hopeful that the athletes will compete in optimum conditions.
"Of course, it would be good for our research if there were a few thunderstorms this year, but I would not wish that on the athletes," he said.

LAKEPORT >> New coach Darin Brodnansky likes the feel of the 20-strong Cardinals who will take the field Aug. 29 against South Fork in the 2014 varsity football opener for both teams.
Brodnansky, hardly a newcomer to Clear Lake football, has spent the last five years coaching at the high school level in various capacities for the JV and varsity squads, including defensive coordinator for the JV team. Before that he spent two years coaching youth football for the Westshore Vikings.
"I love coaching the kids," said Brodnansky, a local contractor. "Milo (Meyer) has been a big help getting me established with the paper side (of the job)."
Meyer, Clear Lake's athletic director, stepped down as varsity football coach following a 2013 campaign that saw the Cardinals go 3-4 in the North Central League I standings and 5-5 overall.
Familiarity certainly won't be a problem for Clear Lake's new coach as he settles into his surroundings. Part of his coaching staff includes older brother Derek, who will run the offense, and his nephew, Cole, a senior running back/linebacker who figures to be a big part of both the Cardinals' offense, defense and special teams this season.
In fact, the Brodnansky brothers say they know most of the players on their roster quite well.
"We have a history that goes way back. We've been working with most of these kids since the fourth grade," Derek Brodnansky said.
Returning starters among the group of 20 players are linemen Leon Fred, Julian Lewis and Zach Williams, running back Brodnansky, and wide receivers Marty Sugimoto and DeShawn White. All are seniors. Among the other returning players are running back/defensive back Gabe Wolfin, lineman Chris Vincent, running back/defensive back Marcus Sugimoto, wide receiver/defensive back Jared Strate, and linemen Josh Henderson and Demarco Metcalfe, all seniors.
Moving up from the junior varsity ranks are Tyler Dore, Tyler Manning, Jeffry Morton and John Vertrees, all starters a year ago as sophomores.
Rounding out the roster is junior Brendan Coakley and seniors Aaron Hodges, Damian Lopez and Dillon Williams.
"I'm very optimistic with this group," Darin Brodnansky said. "They have a lot to offer and it's a well-rounded group that went 10-0 two years ago as JVs."
The coaching staff includes the Brodnansky brothers — Darin will double as defensive coordinator — and assistants Augie Perez, Rob Rumfelt, Derek Butcher, the JV head coach, and Casey Dye.
An option team in past seasons, look for the Cardinals to diversify somewhat this year and run multiple formations, including I and split-back formations, according to Derek Brodnansky.
Dore is among the candidates to start at quarterback, a position that yielded nearly 900 yards of passing offense and 12 touchdowns last season.
"I'm happy with his arm strength," Darin Brodnansky said of Dore. "He's done a lot of work in the offeseason."
Brodnansky and Wolfin, the running backs who powered the undefeated JVs of 2012, figure to handle the bulk of the carries this season. Brodnansky rushed for 322 yards and six TDs on only 57 carries a year ago and was among the county's leaders with 67 points scored, quite a few of those coming as the team's steady placekicker.
"They work very well together," Darin Brodnansky said of his nephew and Wolfin.
They'll be operating behind a line with a fair amount of experience and size in Lewis, Fred and Zach Williams. Manning and Henderson are vying for starting jobs as well as is tight end candidate Dillon Williams.
Downfield targets include wideouts White, Strate and Marty Sugimoto.
On defense, the Cardinals have some depth and plentiful speed.
"Speed is going to be the impact part of the defense," Darin Brodnansky said. "The front is fairly stable and the linebackers and secondary have got some speed. We'll use our available power so to speak. I think our coverage will be well-rounded."
While overall team depth is minimal given the size of the roster, Clear Lake's head coach said his players are versatile.
"We have a lot of athletes on the team. We're diversified and they can play other positions if they have to," he said.
The play of the line on both sides of the football will likely tell the tale of the Cardinals in 2014, according to the Brodnansky brothers.
"You have to be tough up front," Derek Brodnansky said. "Your line has to play well."
Darin concurred. When asked what players need to step up and play well if the Cardinals are going to be successful this season, that short list included the names of three linemen.
Clear Lake's new coach said he isn't ready to predict a record for the Cardinals in the upcoming season. Asked about goals, he said, "I make the kids set their own goals."
In the upcoming North Central League I race, Middletown and St. Helena appear to be the early frontrunners again this season. Clear Lake's new coach said he doesn't know where the Cardinals will fit in that mix just yet, but he's certainly not counting them out.
In a change from past seasons when the Cardinals hosted the now defunct Lake County Scrimmage at Cardinal Stadium on the Friday prior to the start of the regular season, this year they'll be playing on the week that scrimmage would normally take place.
Called "zero week" because its the week before most teams choose to open their season schedules, the Cardinals made the change to accommodate South Fork, which couldn't play them at any other time. As a result of opening the season earlier this year, Clear Lake will have a bye on Sept. 19. Prior to their opener against South Fork, the Cardinals will scrimmage St. Helena on Saturday in St. Helena.
"It's forced us to move things up by a week," Darin Brodnansky said of the team's preparation for South Fork. "But we're looking forward to it (early opener)."
Two other Lake County teams — Kelseyville and Upper Lake — are also playing on "zero week" while Lower Lake and Middletown will play their first games on Sept. 5.

ABC News' Sunlen Miller reports:
President Obama had ears on his mind as he visited one of Egypt's most famous landmarks this afternoon, the Great Pyramids of Giza.
While looking at a hieroglyphic on a tomb, the President remarked that there was a certain resemblance, that he has in the past had a penchant for noticing .
"That looks like me!" the President exclaimed when he saw the image of a big-eared man on the tomb, "Look at those ears!"
Dragging over his Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Senior Advisors Valerie Jarrett and David Axelrod and even personal assistant Reggie Love, the President pointed out the hieroglyphic to his staff.
"Look, that's me," he remarked yet again.
The President was led around by a guide who explained to him the history outside and inside the pyramids. While touring the Sphinx, the tourist-in chief, dressed in khaki pants, a polo shirt and tennis shoes, clearly appeared to be enjoying himself.
"This is the best," Obama said to the pool, "Five guys was good…this is better," Obama added, saying not even his trip to the burger joint, Five Guys last week in DC could best one of the seven wonders of the world.
After the tour the President commented was "awe-inspiring" and "beautiful," Mr. Obama declared it was time to "go back to work" and headed to meet with US embassy staffers.
Earlier in the day – before his big speech at Cairo University – the President toured one of the largest mosques in the Islamic world, the Sultan Hassan Mosque with his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton as well as Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Farmers' Market Pasta Dinner
- Romaine Wedges with Tangy Blue Cheese Vinaigrette
- Zucchini, Corn, and Basil Fusilli with Bacon
- Honeydew with Mint, Basil, and Lime
Get outdoors for tonight's dinner and enjoy the fleeting flavors of summer with crisp, leafy greens; a hearty, veggie-filled pasta dish; and freshly cut melon with lime.
menu tips:
- Technique Tip
Tonight's pasta recipe calls for reserving a small amount of the cooking liquid. You can use this starchy, salted water to moisten the pasta and its accompanying sauce without diluting the flavor.
- Know Your Ingredients
Maytag is a particularly tangy and flavorful variety of blue cheese made from unpasteurized cow's milk. The first Maytag blue was made in 1941 by a son of the Maytag appliance family.

Samsung thinks you shouldn't have to sacrifice power for portability in a laptop, and that is what the company is aiming to solve with the Series 7 Ultra.
Ultrabooks are definitely the flavor du jour as of late, but one of the biggest issues has been that you almost always end up having to sacrifice computing power for the portability you seek. The new Samsung Series 7 Ultra is trying to make this concept a thing of the past. In our brief time with the laptop, it was light, easy to use and seemed like a good contender, but we'll see how it does when it comes to market.

Pantheon Magazine is interested in fresh, creative, and powerful fiction that grips us and doesn't let us go. We like it quick and concise, dammit. Longer work is also considered, but brevity is appreciated. We have short attention spans. We're looking for fiction that is inspired by the god or goddess in our OPEN PROMPTS page. Right now, we're publishing about one issue per year. However, we're planning to publish issues more regularly soon.
VERY IMPORTANT: Please include a note as to how your story is inspired or relates to the theme/prompt you are submitting to. If you do not do this, we cannot guarantee your story will be read. A single sentence is sufficient.
Please make sure your work is thoroughly edited. Have someone who doesn't like you very much read your story, then send it to us. Poorly edited work will not likely make the cut.
We are fond of form and very partial to poems that end in fireworks—literal, figurative—this is open to interpretation. We want poems that dazzle, that leave us breathless, that explode with meaning and beauty.
- Poetry submissions should contain no more than 3 poems.
- All poems submitted must in some way engage the theme of the current issue.

- Previously published work and simultaneous submissions are permitted as long as they fit the theme.
- Please notify us if your work is accepted elsewhere after you submit.
We believe a speedy reply is more valuable than individualized feedback—our quick responses and polite, impersonal rejection notices reflect this.
We're primarily a fiction magazine, but as we are also music and movie lovers, we always welcome music, movie, and book reviews, so long as the music/movie/book you are reviewing is relatively new. Preferably within the past month or two. We're a little more lenient with music and book reviews, as there's so much good stuff out there that's overlooked. Please follow the same formatting guidelines (more or less) as fiction submissions.

Edward Said: Scholar says he took intellectuals for a rideHistorians in the News
Said, who died in 2003, was born in Jerusalem, moving to the United States as a young man. A professor of English literature at Columbia University, he was also an outspoken advocate for the Palestinian cause, which made him extremely controversial. He sat on the Palestinian National Council but became an increasingly bitter critic of Yasser Arafat and resigned in 1991. (Said was probably the only person who could claim both that his office had been fire-bombed by right-wing Zionists and that his writings had been banned in the occupied territories by Arafat.) In"Orientalism," Said argued that from the beginning of Western civilization, Europeans have seen the East -- and in particular the Middle East -- as an alien and threatening Other, and have constructed a mythical and self-serving version of it. Said maintained that this version of the Arab world, which flowered in the work of British and French scholars in the late 18th century and continues to be accepted today, provided a justification for the Western imperialist projects that started with Napoleon's invasion of Egypt in 1798. Far from being objective, Said wrote, the scholars of the 18th and 19th centuries served the interests of power.
This Orientalist discourse, he maintained, is racist, condescending, controlling, dehumanizing, feminizing and"essentialist" -- that is, it asserts that there is a mysterious"essence," invariably religious, that defines the Arab world. That supposed essence, Said argued, is completely mythical and artificial, based not on actual knowledge or experience of the Arabs but purely on the West's imaginary construction. In other words, Orientalism is an enclosed system, impervious to reality and indeed designed to ignore it.
This monolithic assertion of Western villainy is based on a theoretical framework that Said derived from the French philosopher Michel Foucault. The key idea is"discourse," which Foucault defined as a system of thought that defines what can be"known." This system is inextricably linked to power in all its forms -- hence Foucault's famous formulation"power/knowledge." For Foucault and Said, it was a naive illusion to believe that knowledge can exist independent of power. Because Orientalism is a discourse, no one can really escape it: it is a trans-subjective phenomenon. But Said became dissatisfied with Foucault because his theory did not allow a way out. The other thinker to whom Said was indebted, the Italian theorist Antonio Gramsci, provided the concept of"hegemony," which allows for the possibility of resistance to inviolable discourse.
In"Orientalism," Said ranged far and wide, from famous scholars like Louis Massignon and Sir Hamilton Gibb to literary greats like Flaubert and Nerval to hosts of unknown travelers and writers. He unearthed countless examples of grandiose statements made by Westerners about the mysterious, threatening, promiscuous, God-obsessed, immutable East. These statements were not coincidental or contingent, Said argued, but reflected a universal imperialist discourse that historically governed everything any Westerner could say or think about the Arab world. As Said put it in reference to the 19th century,"It is therefore correct that every European, in what he could say about the Orient, was consequently a racist, an imperialist, and almost totally ethnocentric." To the end of his life, he believed that this view of the Arab world still held sway.
Said's book provoked a furious controversy that still rages today. With America trapped in Iraq, and with the Middle East on the verge of a regional crisis, the debate about"Orientalism" is not a merely academic one. Bush's entire"war on terror," and in particular his bizarre decision to invade Iraq, could be seen as driven by Orientalist beliefs and assumptions. Moreover, ominously and quite predictably,"Orientalist" ideas in Said's sense are beginning to pop up in the national discourse. One of the peculiar ironies of the Iraq war is that its architects used politically correct pieties to justify it. Bush and former deputy defense secretary Paul Wolfowitz repeatedly used nameless skeptics,"who say the Arab world isn't ready for democracy," as straw men to give an idealist gloss to their plans for war. Today, disillusioned and angry conservatives are beginning to rebel against these pieties. Rush Limbaugh, as usual, gave crude voice to the inchoate beliefs of millions when he said that we should just"blow the place up." As the Iraq nightmare deepens, these opinions are likely to become louder.
At this fraught historical moment, a new book, Robert Irwin's"Dangerous Knowledge: Orientalism and Its Discontents," launches the most formidable assault on Said yet. Irwin has impeccable scholarly credentials: He teaches at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, has written on Arabic literature and art, and is the Middle East editor of the Times Literary Supplement. Irwin's book is a hybrid, both a history of the academic field of Orientalism and an all-out assault on Said's most famous book.
Irwin maintains that Said's thesis is false, the arguments he made for it dishonest, distorted and weak, and his theoretical framework self-contradictory and evasive. He charges that Said engaged in a counterfactual rewriting of history, attacking figures from earlier eras because they did not say or do what Said thought they should have. Said's entire project, in his view, is"a work of malignant charlatanry in which it is difficult to distinguish honest mistakes from wilful misrepresentations."
Irwin takes pains to point out that, politically, he is on Said's side."I have no significant disagreements with what Said has written about Palestine, Israel, Kipling's 'Kim,' or Glenn Gould's piano playing." This strengthens Irwin's position, as some of Said's supporters have argued that much of the opprobrium heaped on"Orientalism" has come from those opposed to Said's outspoken support for the Palestinian cause, thus serving as an example of the very Orientalist bigotry Said attacks. No such charge can be leveled against Irwin.
Irwin's strategy for demolishing"Orientalism" is to focus on the major figures in the field and to show that who they were, what they believed, and what their scholarship and attitudes were toward the Arab world bear no resemblance to Said's version. He devotes only one chapter to a direct critique of Said's book and in the final one considers other critics of Orientalism. The rest of"Dangerous Knowledge" presents the rich and complex history of Orientalist scholarship and the often eccentric men (and they were almost all men) who engaged in it. His goal is to use reality to dissolve the abstract and tendentious cloak of villainy that Said drapes over an entire scholarly field. It's on this empirical battleground, not in the lofty clouds of theory, that Irwin battles Said. He uses the history of Orientalism and the careers of Orientalists as a needle to let the hot air out of Said's 30,000-feet-above-facts balloon. And the result is one of the more spectacular deflatings since the Hindenburg.
Contrary to Said, Irwin reveals, the towering figures of Oriental scholarship tended to be unworldly, solitary figures, who, far from demonizing the Arab world or Islam, were sympathetic to it and were often regarded as suspiciously un-Christian by their contemporaries. Many were opposed to Western imperial designs on the Near East. Like scholars through the ages, they spent most of their time working diligently on often dry-as-dust textual or linguistic problems. They were also often slightly loony. The father of Orientalism, Guillaume de Postel (1510-1581), was, Irwin notes,"quite barmy": The"foremost expert on Arabic and Islam in Europe" also believed that a woman named Johanna was the angelic pope, the new Eve, the mater mundi who possessed X-ray vision that allowed her to"see Satan sitting at the center of the earth." Postel's weird ideas led the Inquisition to investigate him, but the Holy Office, in a kinder, gentler moment, decided that he"was not a heretic, merely insane."...

I read Orientalism more than 30 years ago and it struck me that Said argues a very powerful case for thinking more about how and why we think about others. It is, in essence, a brilliant polemic designed to change the way we look at the world, and only incidentally became a "founding text" - although, in so becoming, in a post-colonial, post-oil price hike world, it demonstrated very effectively Said's argument about the relationship between power and knowledge. As may Robert Irwin's book in the little bit bogged down in Iraq and Afghanistan world we live in today.

Pinless Socket F
Subject: Processors | November 10, 2005 - 11:50 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
There is a link on PC Stats leading to pictures of an upcoming socket F AMD server processor.
It's translated from Dutch here.
"Tweakers.net have some leaked photos of what is apparently a new AMD Opteron Socket F server mainboard, and in particular its LGA1207 pinless processor interface. This socket has 1207-pins, and uses a similar retention frame as that of the LGA775 Intel Socket T. The author goes on to state the new AMD Opteron processor will support DDR2-533, 667 and 800 MHz memory modules and include a PCI Express controller on die."

text: Hi, I am finally planning to subscribe to dishnetwork. Recently I bought Pioneer Elite 610PRO HD-ready TV and can't take the poor quality of reception I am getting for local AT&T Cable service. However, I have several questions before I take the plunge: 1) I will need atleast two TV connections and only one of them have to be HD. What kind of package should I look at? Also, what will required for a third TV (if I decide to get one more)? 2) Do you need a phone outlet close to your TV/reciever? If I don't have it can, I use some sort of wireless phone jacks? I know the local Cable provider won't let me use one for Digital Cable. 2) Are the local programmings offered thru Dish in HD? If not, do I have to get OTA to get it off the air? (I live in San Jose, CA). What kind of equipment I need for this (Antenna, 8VSB ?) 3) I know there are some deals goin on. Where is the best place to buy (locally or on internet)? 4) What kind of total cost I am looking at? Thanks in advance for any help/input. Khaled

If a fire or object is checked at periodically over a period of twelve hours? Would you say it was unattended or has it been attended to?
At the time the boat was stolen it was not attended, but had been checked on thought the night.
Hi Rononinsurance claim for my car,boat and trailer. I`m English and live in Spain we have insurance with Liberty.Seguros how advertise to British expats. On a trip from Spain to England my car,boat and trailer were stolen in France. Liberty have offered to pay out for the car, but not for my boat and trailer. Saying it was left unattended so by there conditions the boat and trailer were not insured even tho they were locked to the car and under the same number plate as the vehicle, They all sow tell me the contents of the car were not covered. Having Full Comprehensive Insurance I thought I was cover for the trip. The document from Liberty are written in Spanish, I have often asked for it in English as I do not speak Spanish. They have now sent me copy in English,but now it`s a bit to late, I will try to send you a copy if I can. Thank You Michael
Hi, I am a moderator for this topic. It seems the professional has left this conversation.

Antisense Making Sense to Isis Partners
Yet another firm is tapping Isis for its antisense technology. In the latest deal, AstraZeneca formed an alliance with the firm for the discovery and development of novel generation antisense therapeutics against five cancer targets. The agreement includes a license to develop and commercialize ISIS-STAT3Rx, a drug Isis is currently evaluating in an early clinical trial in patients with advanced lymphomas.
This alliance aims to apply AstraZeneca's experience in developing personalized medicines to enhance the drug discovery and development process for four research programs in the oncology area and to aid in the development of ISIS-STAT3Rx for patient populations that could benefit the most from inhibition of STAT3, a protein that drives cancer growth.
Several other firms are interested in Isis' antisense technology. Just yesterday, the firm reported receiving $30 million from Biogen Idec in a deal to discover and develop antisense drugs against three undisclosed targets to treat neurological or neuromuscular disorders. Last month, Pfizer paid Isis $1.25 million in a scar treatment deal. The payment was triggered when Pfizer decided to advance EXC 001, an antisense oligonucleotide designed to interrupt the process of fibrosis by inhibiting expression of connective tissue growth factor, into a Phase II study. In addition, Isis has ongoing collaborations with Genzyme, Alnylam, and GlaxoSmithKline. Isis' modus operandi is to discover and conduct early development of new drugs and then outlicense those drugs to partners with late-stage development, commercialization, and marketing expertise.
Antisense therapies target the proteins involved in disease processes by destroying the RNA that is involved in creating these proteins. The Isis discovery platform develops specific therapies that bind to messenger RNA and inhibit the production of disease-causing proteins.

For the past couple of week my computer has been turning itself off without warning and without the BSOD. Initially I thought it was overheating since I am overclocking my q6600 pretty hard in the summer on air cooling. However, after turning my OC down to 3.0 and looking at my CPU temps while running prime 95, the tempe were fine and the PC never powered off. Just as a test, I put the OC back to 3.4 and ran prime 95. The temps were averaged around 68-70c but surprisingly the PC did not turn off. This was the point where I realized it wasn't the heat or the over clocking that was turning it off.
It seems to only happen when I play games. At this point I am thinking that my five year old power supply is starting to go on me. Maybe the Graphics card + the CPU is taking too much power for it these days. Bear in mind that I have been using the same GPU,CPU and power supply together for the better part of a year.
I am going to do a couple of more tests to make sure everything is working in my device manager and also make sure I am clean of malware and virus'. I also got an SSD a couple months ago but I don't think it's the cause.
If it does turn out to be my power supply; What is a good modular power supply to get these days? Is there one, or should I stick with the regular power supplies? I think 750w will be good enough since I will only ever use a single GPU. However, I am building a new PC when the next Intel (tock) chips come out and I will overclock both the CPU and GPU.
So you're waiting on Haswell? Next year for a CPU then? Okay, well, regardless of which cpu you get it'll probably use less power than a Q6600, overclocked or not. I'm simply basing this on estimates of Haswell and the fact that Ivy Bridge tops out at ~80w before overclocking. All this you probably know.
And since Nvidia came down to Earth with their power requirements, we can reasonably assume a good 750w PSU will be enough for any single-card solution.
That said, I haven't been keeping up on the day-today news of PSUs so take this with a small grain of salt. Corsair is still making some good PSUs, but I'd go with a Seasonic. They consistently make some of the highest quality PSUs with amazing performance. Your OCZ, as far as I can tell, wasn't actually 80+ certified, though the OCZ site says it runs at 83% efficiency, which means you're probably not quite getting that good of performance (probably in the 70% range). With a 750w PSU and, say, Gold efficiency you'll be pulling out more power for less money. Yay!
I'm rambling. Check out what Seasonic has to offer and if their prices are something you're willing to pay. I mean, they come with a 5 yr warranty for a reason. Corsair has that on their higher end units also, though I'd shell out the extra $20 or $40 for a Seasonic, especially since you're not in the midst of a full build right now.
Also, browse JohnnyGuru and HardOCP and see what they've reviewed, especially considering that efficiency isn't the end all be all in power supplies. You're looking for quality builds and voltage regulation, which is something only in-depth reviews can tell you.
Also, browse JohnnyGuru
This is the best advice out there when it comes to picking a power supply. HardOCP's reviews are good too, but generally I just read jonnyguru and go from there. I picked up my 750w XFX supply shortly after he raved about how great it was.
PSU efficiency definitely degrades over time, which is why paying the premium for a better PSU is a good option in the long run. How much it degrades, well, I'm not sure. Depends on the parts used and how well it was constructed. When Malor's PSU died he bet that it was because he didn't have enough headroom over what his system was pulling, which is exactly where you could be.
I would say that a 650w would likely do the job, yes. I'd probably go with the 750w (which is what I have) just to make sure since we don't actually know what the specs on the future CPUs and GPUs are going to be. I'd rather spend more money now to avoid a headache later.
If you want to save some money and go with someone other than Seasonic, then use the reviews to figure it out. JohnnyGuru has given plenty of Corsair, OCZ, etc. PSUs high ratings, but they are usually dependent on model of the PSU since many get OEMs from different companies and then modify them. For instance, Corsair will use Seasonic as the basis for some of their PSUs.
Nice grab. That's a great price ... ya bastard.
Seasonic power supplier are top shelf. I've got the same X-Series model and it's fantastic. I'm a bit of a PC quiet fetishist and I really love how when it's not under load, it's efficient enough that it can actually shut the fan off entirely. That's the one place I always tell people to put top dollar into. A good power supply is one of the best reliability investments you can make and a really good one will last you through years of upgrades. FYI for the future, Corsair power supplies are rebranded Seasonics so if you see them cheaper, you're getting a very similar product.
FYI for the future, Corsair power supplies are rebranded Seasonics so if you see them cheaper, you're getting a very similar product.
I'm pretty sure Corsair sources supplies from more than one company, or at least were still doing so as recently as late last year.
In fact I'm pretty sure the majority of both the TX and HX lines are built by Channel Well Tech with the exceptions being the 650 watt models that are from Seasonic.
I'm on my phone so I'm having trouble digging up facts quickly, but the more I think about this the more sure I am. Most of Corsair's PSU's are Channel Well units.
According to HardOCP, XFX are Seasonic.
Seasonic packages their PSUs like they are Maserati's. Certainly get what you pay for though. Never thought I'd see a PSU in a felt case.
It came with plenty of wires in their own case of course which is awesome and I love that it's modular. Of course, if your case does not have good pathways for wire management like mine, it doesn't really matter.
I ran prime 95 and furmark and the PSU fan did not even need to turn on. Pretty impressive. Oh, and my computer never turned off even after going back to my higher voltage overclock.
So just confirming to any future readers that my power supply was definitely the problem.

By: Naomi Thorne
Years ago when Katherine and I wanted to purchase our first home, we were at a loss for how to choose a Realtor® - we literally had ZERO idea where to begin. Nobody had ever marketed to us - we never received a flyer from a Realtor® in our rental apartment mailbox and all of our twenty-something friends were even more confused.
I wish someone would have given us the below list. Through randomly walking into an open house we connected with an amazing Los Angeles based Realtor®, Derick Vallance who helped us buy and sell our first home. He held our hands through our first two transactions - and with the patience of a saint!
Get out there and find your perfect match! (or ask us for a recommendation - we can recommend Realtors® all over the country thanks to our wonderful network!)
Tip #1: Ask For A Recommendation
Social media can be extremely helpful when it comes to finding an excellent Realtor® - especially since you probably don't know exactly who to ask...so, throw it out to everyone in your sphere! Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter are wonderful networking tools for us to share information - not just cat photos...though we do love cats: Hello - Adele Cat Parody!
You'll be surprised by who knows a hard-working, knowledgeable Realtor®.
You'll be surprised by who knows a hard-working, knowledgeable Realtor®.
Tip #2: See If You Jive Over A Cup Of Joe
Ask several Realtors® out for coffee before deciding who to work with. Get to know them - both on a personal and professional level - and ask what their plan of action is for you. Do you enjoy their company? Are they knowledgeable? Do you believe they'll do a good job?
Remember you'll be spending quite a bit of time with this person and it's important your personalities jive - also remember real estate can be tricky and legally sensitive, so make sure you choose a serious and educated Realtor®.
Tip #3: Interview At Open Houses
Go to open houses and "soft-interview" agents - Realtors® know they'll meet potential clients when they hold properties open and are prepared to have a conversation with you. Ask lots of questions - test their market knowledge and see if you like them.
This is a GREAT way to meet tons of agents on one day in a non-committal way. When you meet someone you like, give them your contact information and they'll take it from there.
Tip #4: Find Someone Who Is Committed
There are plenty of wonderful part-time Realtors® - but if you can find a full-time committed Realtor® you'll benefit from the flexibility in their schedule. Since their livelihood is completely dependent on property sales, they'll have the extra motivation to find you the perfect property in a timely manner - and if you're selling a home, they'll have the available varying hours it takes to get your home on the market and to host open houses.
Whether you're buying or selling, it's important to find a Realtor® who is willing and able to devote the many hours it takes to help you. Remember - real estate agents do a ton of time consuming behind-the-scenes work.
Tip #5: Stalk The Talk
Professional Realtors® have a rich online presence - they're on all the standard social media sites such as LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter - they sometimes even have YouTube Videos: Thorne Home Team On YouTube - AND they have profiles on the most popular real estate sites such as Zillow and Realtor.com. Make sure they also have a personal page where you can search their MLS for homes - this will come in handy if you're buying or selling.
You can also sometimes read past client reviews (not always) - but check to see if they have any. Read their biographies and get a sense of who they are and what they're putting out there. Remember - it's extremely important to have a Realtor® who's internet savvy as most homebuyers search for properties online and if you're selling a home you want to make sure yours is properly marketed. If you're buying, you need a computer literate agent because the MLS - where other Realtors® list the homes they're clients are selling - is only online.
Tip #6: Ask Realtors® You Know In Other States For A Recommendation
Realtors® belonging to large brokerages can recommend top agents all over the country - and sometimes all over the world. If you know a Realtor® in a different state, ask him/her to recommend someone - they can generally recommend someone wonderful and also follow your entire transaction...so you'll be able to ask your Realtor® friend who lives in another state questions about your sale during any part of the transaction.

I didn't mean for this outfit to be so J. Crew heavy, but it happens sometimes and I'm not mad about it.
I wore this for another museum date, this time to the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. I've been living in Indianapolis for more than 3 years, and I still hadn't been there until this weekend. I found out recently that students at my university get in for free, so I really had no excuse not to go.
Plus, you might have already guessed this because of my dark complexion and affinity for spear fishing, but I am 1/16 Native American. I love any excuse to learn more about "my people"! The exhibits were really interesting, although I was a tad disappointed that there weren't many artifacts from the Cherokee (which is the tribe that my great-great-grandmother was a member of).
Still, the museum was really great and I'll definitely go back. In the photo below, you'll see a few snapshots of my favorite things at the Eiteljorg, including some interactive basket weaving. Clearly it comes naturally to me because of my heritage.
Sweater: J. Crew Factory (on sale!)
Scarf: Target, old (similar)
Skirt: Webster for Target, old (similar)
Tights: Simply Vera, old (similar)
Shoes: J. Crew
Bracelets: J. Crew, Stephan & Co.

Durban - Willie Mtolo, the first black South African to win the New York Marathon, was "over the moon" when one of the runners he had been training won the Comrades on Sunday.
Mtolo – part of the SABC commentary team during the ultra marathon – had been training seven runners from several clubs at a camp in Underberg, where he has a farm.
He also has a running club, the Willie Mtolo Athletic Club, and predicted in an interview with the Daily News last week that all the hard work would pay off.
One of the runners, Bongmusa Mthembu, a member of the Nedbank KZN Club, took the top honours and winner's prize.
We could not track Mtolo down Sunday night, but his former manager, Ray de Vries, who saw him after the win, said Mtolo was "over the moon".
De Vries said Mthembu's win marked a KZN and South African running renaissance.
Meanwhile, Mtolo's inspirational story is going to be told on the big screen. The movie, to be shot in KZN next year, will also recount the unique relationship the legendary running star had with De Vries.
The title of the film is The Place that Hits the Sun, and De Vries said its description would be "the forbidden friendship".
"Back in the early 1990s, it was unusual for a white guy to look after a black guy who was not allowed to run internationally," said De Vries.
This was because, under apartheid, sportsmen and women were banned from competing globally.
But after Nelson Mandela was released from prison and the ban was lifted, Mtolo entered the 1992 New York Marathon, and beat the field of 35 000 to win, earning a place in the history books.
"Willie's win was a breakthrough for South Africa and he inspired people internationally," De Vries said.
"He opened the floodgates for others to follow his lead.
"After years of isolation, South African sportsmen and women did not know if they were good enough internationally.
"By winning the biggest show in town, Willie proved we could do it."
Mtolo went on to win several other international marathons.
He did not win the Comrades, but came close, taking home two runners-up medals.
He and De Vries met when Mtolo was running for a local club and needed a place to stay.
De Vries owned the Hillcrest Hotel at the time and gave Mtolo a complimentary room for about two years.
"Not everyone approved. It was not done in those days. I even got death threats," De Vries recalled.
He is now midway through writing a book about the encounter, to be called The Guest in Room 11a.
De Vries often stayed at Mtolo's rural home in Underberg, learning Zulu and being given a Zulu name, Bafo (meaning brother).
Then he received a letter from an American scriptwriter, Joe Drape, who works for the New York Times, that there were moves to make a film about Mtolo and De Vries.
"The next thing, he sent me a script."
Mtolo and De Vries will be advisers on the movie, which will be directed by Jim O'Hanlon and produced by Noel Pearson, whose My Left Foot won an Oscar.
The talk is that Barkhad Abdi, who starred with Tom Hanks in Captain Phillips, is in the running to play Mtolo. De Vries is not sure who will portray him.
Mtolo said he was "excited" about the movie. De Vries there had been discussions with the KZN Film Commission at the Cannes film festival.

I have dreamt about a couple of my children before they were even concieved, my 3rd child I saw in a dream, when she was born and turned 6 months old she looked exactly like the child I had dreamt of.
I always know when I am going to conceive because I dream about .
I always feel I have known my children when they are born, even while pregnant, they say that a soul can connect with the mother before birth and I believe this to be true.
How do you feel about this?
I have lost my dreams--Dar Williams
Me too. I don't have any real babies yet, but I've been sensing/talking to my spirit babies for years. I can often feel them all around me.
There's actually a few really great books about the subject. In fact, I just finished reading one last week. That one was called The Secret Life of the Expectant Mother: Nine Months of Mysterious Intuitions and Heightened Perceptions by Carl Jones. Another fantastic one that I read a few weeks ago is Bond with Your Baby Before Birth: How to Communicate with Your Unborn Child by Kim Oneill. The last one (which is the first one I stumbled across shortly after my first dream experience) is Spirit Babies: How to Communicate with the Child You're Meant to Have by Walter Makichen.
i also get info from other's babies.
I got pregnant soon after, and kind of thought I was going to have a girl. We had a boy. I have always wanted a girl, and really felt a girl presence, but then had my second boy.
I adore my boys and don't necessarily yearn for a girl for girlie stuff.
I am pregnant with my third. Very early in this pregnancy I have come to realize that this baby was the baby I lost in my first pregnancy. And this baby is a girl. She has finally come back to me. So all along, I haven't yearned for a girl. I have yearned for her.
I spoke to Intuitive Jamie a while back and she confirmed my thoughts. She added that once we initially conceived her, our baby girl decided that she wanted a different birth order. She wanted big brothers. I really think she has been patiently waiting in the wings for the right time. Or maybe impatiently. We conceived her 5 days after removing my mirena, without any fertile cervical fluid, or any other signs of fertility.
Our baby girl name for our second pregnancy was Stella Jane.
This time around, we really struggled with finding a name that we both like and felt right. Intuitive Jamie said that she wants the name Silah.
That is so close to Stella, I think. So we were feeling her vibe last pregnancy.
We are pretty sure we are changing it up a bit and naming her Selah (pronounced say-lah). It is a biblical/musical Hebrew term for taking a pause or waiting. That is what she has done. She decided to wait for the right time to enter into our family.
What a joy this has been for me and it totally makes sense to me.
In my dream, she jumped up beside me while I was dreaming ( I was napping on the couch dreaming that I was napping on the couch if that makes sense) and said a name that is now her middle name. Her saying the name really loudly is what woke me up and it was as if someone was literally standing there--it was as if I started to wake and heard the voice if that makes sense.
I also dreamt her while pregnant that she came in the room at age 18 (somehow I knew what age she was in the dream) and smiled at me then I woke up.
Now I see how similar she is to the dreams I had when pregnant.
It is amazing the connection and so many things I just *knew* about her before birth that I am seeing now as she grows, even felt strongly she was a girl although we didn't confirm that. Everyone would come up to me and say it's a boy, but i just felt, ok that's is wonderful too but I feel so so strongly it is a girl.
I feel as if I have known her as long as I know myself, but perhaps that is true for everyone. It was just such a strong, wonderful connection during pregnancy and would think things like, oh "baby likes this", and now as a toddler she does like those thing(s).
It seems as if he was always with me, nothing about him really is a surprise - looks or personality wise - just a revelation or confirmation of what I already felt or knew.
As far as babies to come, I think it is a combination of what I hope for and what I just feel will come to pass - a brother next, and then, maybe, a sister. a little girl is waiting, but when exactly she'll happen I don't know. I have had twins on the mind a lot lately, not sure what that bodes for the future!

We're very close emotionally and seem to understand each other without saying much. This is incredible to me as I'm not an empathetic person at all (have Asperger's).
Mom to 2 beautiful autistic boys (13 & 12)
i dreamed 2 dreams about dd before she was born and had major deja vu moments when they came true. in one i held her up to a flowering appletree and she laughed as she touched the petals that were raining down around us. last spring we were at a nursery that had an orchard on site picking out plants and it really happened.
since then i had a dream that i was nursing a little girl with dark curls (not dd) on our bed and a little boy came in crying because the big boys (twins) wouldn't let him play too. in the dream i knew that his name was jeffrey and that dd was outside with dh taking care of the animals.
not sure if i'm ready for twin boys yet but sometimes i really want to hold my little boy. it all seems so crazy but it really felt so real.
raising and growing in the green mountains.
So for my first pregnancy I wanted things "just so", and if they weren't just right I'd get really upset. (Example, someone bought me a very decent but used pack and play, and I was upset because the smell was off and it wasn't the color I wanted.... usually stuff like that wouldn't bother me.) I was suddenly a much neater person (kept a cleaner house). I was also extra snuggly/cuddly. This is DS1 to a T! One of his well-known phrases around the house is "Mommy, my ---- is not just right", where ---- is anything that is not how he wants it... be it his socks, his hamburger bun, whatever! He is also the cuddler in the family, and HATES it when his hands or face are dirty.
For DS2, I was suddenly much more jovial. I would tease and joke with DH all the time. I also loved singing more than usual. And DS2 is the joker in the family. He's always laughing and telling jokes, and he's still only 2! And he's the musical one.
So I definitely feel it's possible to connect with your children before they are born.
This is driving me crazy. I've had a spirit baby presence around me for over a year. I'm not even in a relationship and I don't have children.I didn't even know that this was happening to other people until I've started researching it. I don't know how to handle this could someone please give me some advice?
DS2 and I have a very spiritual connection, right from conception. DS2 feels like a gift to me, I can't even describe it properly! We communicated during pregnancy and labour especially.
DH "met" DS1 before he was born. After DS1 was born, DH introduced him to me, like our baby was his old friend They have a very cool relationship!
Yes! When I was still in early pregnancy with my first, I had recurring dreams of a little girl telling me "it comes from the moon, not the sun" and she was born on the harvest moon. I knew it was a girl because of the dreams too. She also introduced herself in the dream as "adrona" (at lease that's how I remember it sounding) and her name is now "Aiyana" - very similar!!!
She was and still is a very communicative and gentle soul.
As for my second pregnancy, I knew it was a boy - and often felt the spirit with me even though it ended at 9 weeks.
I've pushed these "babies" away recently as they were weighing heavily on me and I felt a sense of urgency for a couple years - now that I made it clear I can't have another any time soon, the "presence" is definitely gone
I have been taking a wonderful course called the One to One and in every session I go back to different steps of my life all the way back to the threshold. Here is where we mock up our entire lifetime. We choose our parents, our experiences, and our growth or evolution as spirit..or not!
There are so many kinds of beings around us. Angels, guides, ghost, etc and baby beings are for real!! They buzz around us check us out, insist on coming through us. The experience can be exciting but man do baby beings have a way of screwing with you too!!
I felt my son start buzzing around me maybe 6 months before I got his dad on board for having a child. 3 months later I was pregnant. I knew the moment he was conceived. So glorious. We were pretty well connected through the pregnancy. I knew exactly how he looked and how great of a sense of humor he had! His laugh was loud!
I have known my daughter since I was child. 3 to be exact. I called her my imaginary friend back then not knowing I would one day be her Mama! I knew the moment I conceived again. I had wide open communication with her through out the pregnancy. I was not planning the pregnancy and I openly talked with her about wether or not we should go through with it. I was in pretty bad emotional shape for the first half and actually asked her to go. She insisted she had to be here with her bother. That they needed to be together! It was kind of freaky! I asked her once if she was so set on having a lifetime with him because she was coming to work some kharma out and was going to harm him! She told me no and that she was here for him. Right at 20 weeks I got very ill and started labor. I laid in the hospital bed and saw her sitting on the railing. I begged her to get back in and not leave now. She decided to stay for the time being but there were way too many times it seemed she had changed her mind. I stopped communicating with her because every time we did, she would just try to tell me she was leaving or she wasn't going to take her body. I was 2 weeks late with her and after having a facilitated conversation, she was able to communicate that she was afraid to come out because she thought I was angry with her. I was pretty angry in general the whole time but not at her. We were able to clear the air and the next day she came to be! The birth was amazing. We had so much fun together through out it. I was either laughing with her or having an orgasm! My son was also able to hear her often. He would say "Oh my God she won't stop laughing!" Or "Mama will you make her stop singing please?" The girl is still never quiet. She is always chanting something! My son was really in tune with her through out the birth. He would turn the jets on in the tub when there was a break in the contractions. He would look at my belly as if he was listening and watching her and hit the button and say "bubble time". Then he would get all protective all of sudden, turn the jets off, and put his hands on my belly for the contraction!! It was truly amazing. Its lasted beyond birth too. She wouldn't utter a sound and my son and I always knew what she wanted or if her answer was a yes or no. There was one time I was in class and started smelling her poo and sensing some stress. I called my friend who was watching her and heard her crying in the back ground. He was so happy I called. I told him she had a poopy diaper and she instantly stopped crying. Cool Cool stuff!
I know this thread is a bit older but I joined this site just to add my own experience. I actually knew my best friend was pregnant two days before she did and I knew she was having a boy long before her ultrasound appointment to confirm the sex. In both cases I had very odd dreams that overall didn't make much sense, but when I woke up I felt this nagging feeling that the overall theme of the dream was something to pay attention to. He's now my godson and even though he's only a little over a year old, we have a pretty strong bond.
This little guy isn't the first I've seen either. Since November, I've been seeing my daughter all over the place. My boyfriend and I broke up for a short period due to trust and immaturity issues, and her appearance in both our dreams has actually been the reason we started talking again and have worked through a lot of our issues. I actually thought I was pregnant at first because I felt such a strong presence and I could see her in my mind's eye, and even after the negative test I was adamant it was wrong. He has a stronger bond to her too because he can connect to that level way better than I can, but I can see her face in that awake/asleep consciousness though I can't hear her voice. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who's experienced stuff like this. It makes me feel a little less crazy.

Garsington made the most of the inclement weather to move up to third in Division 1 of the OCA League.
Only three games in the entire league beat the showers, two of those matches coming in the top flight.
Garsington's home clash with Chadlington was restricted to 40 overs a side, the visitors setting a total of 160-7, Richard Ingram top-scoring with 47.
After a poor start, the Garsington middle-order of Ywai Williams (71) and Jefter Andrews (45) got to work, taking their side to the brink of victory before both getting out.
However, they soon secured a four-wicket victory in the 26th over.
Garsington 28pts, Chadlington 6 Cowley Internationals picked up an eight-wicket success over Hook Norton at Oxford Brookes University.
Having asked their rivals to bat in the Division 1 clash, a fine bowling display saw their visitors dismissed for 95 in the 32nd-over.
Zabi Saeed was the principal destroyer with 3-18, ably assisted by Majid Khan (2-3) and Ayaz Khan (2-25).
Only Richard Knight, with 33, and Adam Bennett, who hit 19, made it into double figures.
In reply, and between showers, Cowley knocked of the required total in just 14.1 overs, opener Nadeem Khan carrying his bat for 42.
Cowley Internationals 30, Hook Norton 2 Eynsham 2nd won by nine wickets at Chesterton 2nd in Division 9.
The hosts were bowled out for 96, Stephen Cooper (4-14) and Gary Cook (4-15) on song for Eynsham.
Luke Bowles was then undefeated on 39 as Eynsham eased home, Cook adding 23 not out in a fine all-round display.
Chesterton 2nd 1, Eynsham 2nd 30
