Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Jesus the Artist
Speaking in parables is indeed similar to an artist's craft. They create impressions, whole new worlds of meaning intended to turn old worlds on their heads.
"Come and See": A Christ-centered Invitation for Science
Classical Christian orthodoxy as expressed in the Creeds begins at the beginning: nature owes its existence to and is sustained by Jesus Christ. One implication is that the best way of finding out about nature is to look at nature.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Series: But Does it Move? John Lennox on Science and the Bible
Taken from Chapter 2 of John Lennox's book Seven Days That Divide The World, this three part series looks at scripture interpretation. Lennox looks especially at the Galileo controversy regarding the movement of the Earth and why our own interpretations do not necessarily call into question the authority of the Scripture.
Series: The Genesis of Everything
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Series: A Quest for God
In this five part series, two young men, Josh and Aron, engage each other through e-mail letters. Their conversation oscillates between the seemingly suspicious elements of God and the gospel (raised by Josh) as well as responses that offer meaningful insight into these questions (answered by Aron). Ideas such as prayer, judgment, and the concealed nature of God are among the many points in this truth-seeking exchange.
Below the Surface; Behind the Scene
In this video, Alister McGrath discusses the importance of going beyond surface readings, both in Scripture and in the natural world. The parable of the sower, for example, contains a far deeper meaning than a story of a man scattering seed.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Gaining Perspective
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the humility and openness we need to have before we approach Scripture.
Series: The Collapsing Universe in the Bible
This series written by Brian Godawa delves into eschatological passages with "de-creation language." He argues that these passages do not foretell literal geophysical events to come, but, put into the context of the Old Testament thinking, actually describe the dethroning of worldly powers and the establishing of God's kingdom on Earth. This, according to Godawa, happened when Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
Series: Reviewing "Why Evolution is True"
In this three part series, Robert C. Bishop provides a helpful review for Evangelicals of the book Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. He first debunks many outdated ideas and myths about the theory of evolution and its implications. He then goes on to critique Coyne's conclusions about God as a "bad designer." He further addresses how Christianity and science overlap as well as how to have a meaningful discussion between two individuals with radically different views.
God's Accommodation to Humans
According to Calvin, accommodation is a pedagogical tool that God employs to communicate to human beings. If God wishes to speak to us, he must bridge the gulf by descending into our world and speaking our language. In other words, God accommodates himself to our ability to comprehend.
A Pastor's Perspective on the Dangers of an Ultra-Literal Perspective
In this video Conversation, Greg Boyd notes that some believers conceive of their faith as a "house of cards"—where shifting one element will collapse the whole thing.
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Reconciliation of a World Gone Wrong
Our estrangement from God began when early humans disobeyed God's will and took a path leading away from God. Genes and culture contribute to a sinful world in which all people are born and nurtured, and our impact on our environment distorts the terrestrial creation.
Uncertainty is Uncomfortable
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
The Creator is the Redeemer
Central to all of this is the resurrection of Jesus. Rising from the dead is the true beginning of this new mode of existence in which believers—right here and now—take part. Believing in Jesus means you are benefiting from Jesus' resurrection already now in the new life you experience by the power of the Spirit.

Trailer for Frankenweenie
Frankenweenie is an upcoming 3D black-and-white stop motion-animated film, directed by Tim Burton, and it is a remake of the Burton's 1984 short film of the same name. Like the 1984 version, it is a parody of and a homage to the 1931 film Frankenstein based on Mary Shelley's book of the same name. In the film, a boy named Victor loses his dog and uses the power of science to bring it back to life. The film is scheduled for release on October 5, 2012, and it will be the first stop-motion film to be released in IMAX 3D.
If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together.......

You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is, even if we're apart...... I'll always be with you.
Winne the Pooh - A A Milne
A friend is a hand that is always holding yours,
no matter how close or far apart you may be.
A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.
A friend is a feeling of forever in the heart.

Do You Believe in Magic? (West 2010) | Tweet |
Written by Ryan Ma | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

If you are an avid reader of the DobberHockey website you probably are familiar with the popular mantra the "magical fourth year". Just as Russ and I have done last year, we'll take a deeper look at the numbers to de-bunk or confirm the myth once again. Let's take a look at the top 10 scorers from this past season and how they have fared in their first four years in the NHL.
One common point that I noticed with players that had huge jumps in production during their "magical fourth years" is their importance to their respective line ups. The following table illustrates ten examples of gigantic increases in production from players that receive optimal ice-time from their teams during their fourth years.
With so much evidence in support of the "magical fourth year", it would be hard to argue that the myth doesn't exist. Moving on, now that we've established that there is a strong possibility that there is a "magical fourth year" let's put it into practical use. Below is the list of players who are entering their fourth NHL season this year along with my opinion and projection as to whether they are going to be poised to have a huge breakout year or are they going to be a blip on the radar. Note: I counted every season played as a year of experience whether they played one or a full 82 games. I just couldn't come up with a fair comparison on where to draw the line. Poised for a huge breakout year Patrick Kane – If winning the Stanley Cup isn't enough of an Everest-esque feat for a 21-year old then perhaps a century-point campaign will do the trick. That's probably the only feat that's left for the Buffalo-native to accomplish in order to be mentioned in the same ballpark as Sidney Crosby, Alex Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin in terms of impact in fantasy hockey pools. If there is anyone, in this year's "magical fourth year" class, who has 100-point potential, it certainly has to lie on the young shoulders of Kane. I'm leaning more towards a Getzlaf, Kovalchuk or Parise 91 to 98-point season, but 100 certainly isn't out of the question. Jonathan Toews – 191 points in his first 222 NHL contests is the stat line for the reigning Conn Smythe winner and if you compare that to the 218 in 211 that new TB GM Steve Yzerman had in his first three seasons it's not hard to draw a similar comparison between the two. If you delve a little deeper into the stats Toew's recent 29 points in 22 contests this past post-season compares very favourably to Yzerman's 18 in 16 back in 1986-87. Granted it was a much more offensively-focussed league back then, but Yzerman cracked the 90-point plateau in his fourth season, so why can't we expect the same from Toews? Poised for a marginal breakout year Peter Mueller – Last year I mentioned a fellow Avalanche, Paul Stastny to be poised with a breakout year and he finished up with 79 points in 81 contests. This year I'll follow suit and toss the former eighth overall pick, Mueller, into the mix. He was traded to the Avs from the desert at the deadline last campaign and racked up 20 points in the final 15 contests of the regular season. During his time with the Avs, he averaged 17:50 along with a SOG average of 2.33 per contest. If you read my projections article earlier this off-season, those numbers pretty much fix the mould of a top-15 or a 60-point RWer, so expect just that from Mueller.
Bobby Ryan – The young phenom is headed for RFA status this off-season, but the Ducks have plenty of cap room to match any offers that come their way, so he should remain Anaheim property for the upcoming season. I had a bit of a debate on whether or not I should have slotted him into the same category as Toews and Kane but decided to play it a little safer by pencilling him for just a marginal increase due to the fact that Corey Perry and Ryan Getzlaf are ahead of him on the scoring depth charts. Ryan potted 39 points in 40 home contests at the Honda Center, while potting 25 points in 41 away from Anaheim. Now with over 150 games under his belt, those numbers should begin to start to even out this campaign. Look for a 70-75 point season from the Cherry Hill-native. Sam Gagner – If there was anything to be happy about for the Oilers last season it probably was the development of Gagner in the second half of the lackluster campaign. He finished with 19 points and 87 SOG in the final 28 contests, before being shut down due to injury. If you pro-rate those numbers into a full 82-game campaign it would equate to a 55 points and a 254 SOG season. With Ales Hemsky healthy and the new arrival of Taylor Hall, the trio might form a formidable top-line for Edmonton that is if the Oilers finally stop deciding to give Shawn (minus 29) Horcoff 19 minutes a game. I'd pencil Gagner in for a 55-60 point season, but I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up with 75-plus. Kris Versteeg – Versteeg had himself a decent post-season with 14 points in 22 contests during their Stanley Cup winning run. He'll be the main beneficiary of the Dustin Byfuglien trade as it pretty much guarantees him a spot on the Hawks' top-six as well as being a top candidate to fill the void of the 2:40 minutes of power-play ice-time that Buffy left behind. He'll probably see an ice-time average closer to his 2008-09 numbers of 17:02 than the 15:43 he had last season which will help the offensive production. Playing alongside Toews, Kane or Hossa won't hurt either. 60-65 isn't a bad projection for the former 134th overall pick. Sitting on the fence Devin Setoguchi – I'm completely on the fence on this one. Setoguchi had a great sophomore season with 65 points in 81 contests, but completely burned out by following that with a 36-point injury-plagued season. If you consider the Sharks' offense of Thornton, Heatley, and the newly signed duo of Patrick Marleau and Joe Pavelski, I just don't see enough points to be spread around for Seto to be a fantasy gem this campaign. For comparison's sake the most offensive team in the league last season were the Caps who put up 833 points, while the Sharks put up 700. Brooks Laich was fifth in scoring for the Caps with 59 points. Granted Setoguchi is a bit more offensively gifted than Laich, but with Dan Boyle also in the point mix it would be hard to project anything more than 55 points for the Albertan. T.J. Hensick – Hensick was tied for 14th overall in scoring in the AHL last season with 70 points in 58 contests which makes it mind-boggling why the Avs would move such an asset to the Blues for such a low price in career AHLer Julian Talbot. There have also been a few rumours floating around about Hensick's work ethic which is never a good thing for a youngster. I currently have the Blues top-six listed as Andy McDonald, Brad Boyes, David Backes, T.J. Oshie, Patrik Berglund, and possibly RFA David Perron, which might hamper the quality ice-time allotted to Hensick this upcoming season. But if an injury were to befall amongst the Blues' top-six, Hensick's production could certainly be fantasy-worthy. David Perron – As mentioned above, motivation seems to be a key factor in the production for players but in terms of skill there is definitely nothing to scoff about with Perron as he tallied 111 points in 87 contests in 2006-07 with the Lewiston Maineiacs (28 in 17 during the playoffs). As mentioned above players who generally have the big breakout seasons tend to be the ones that garner top-line/top PP ice-time and I don't know if Perron will get that opportunity in St. Louis. I'd give a maximum upside of 55. Mason Raymond – Raymond had a bit of a breakout year last season by potting 53 points in 82 contests but it's the four points in 12 playoff contests that scares me. If Raymond can land some ice-time alongside the Sedin twins during the season it might boost his fantasy value, but with Mikael Samuelsson and Alex Burrows in the mix for that highly-coveted spot, I wouldn't expect anything more than a repeat of last campaign or possibly even a small dip. Derick Brassard – Offense is definitely not something that Brassard lacks as demonstrated by his 218 points in 151 contests from his QMJHL career. The problem is translating those skills into the NHL level. But then again the wicked "Hitch" of the west is dead in Columbus and Scotty Arniel is poised to be the saviour of the offense so that might just be the solution to solve Brassard's offensive woes. There are also a couple of other factors that could help Brassard this season. One, he spent only 3.52 percent of his total ice-time alongside superstar Rick Nash last season, so if he can up that to say 15-20 percent, his point totals could skyrocket for a comfortable breakout season. Two, he lined up alongside 25 percent of the NHL shifts that Nikita Filatov appeared in last season. So if the "fleet-footed" Russian returns that would be another boost in terms of talented line mates for Brassard. Of course there are also a couple of factors that could hinder Brassard one of which is the depth chart. The Jackets are chock-full of centers with R.J. Umberger, Antoine Vermette, and Sami Pahlsson, which might hinder Brassard's potential for a "break out" this season. Other Notables Andrew Cogliano, Martin Hanzal, David Winnik, James Sheppard, Kyle Chipchura, Andrew Murray, Jared Boll, Cody McLeod, Ryan Carter, David Jones Defense Most of us have heard of the phrase "It takes defenseman longer to develop in the NHL than forwards." Last season I took a look at a small sample of d-men and there wasn't a lot of empirical evidence to back the theory of the "magical fourth year" for blue liners. Of course that shouldn't prevent you from ignoring them completely, so here are a few Western Conference D-men who are entering their fourth year this season. Matt Niskanen – The Stars are in desperate need of some offense from the blue line, and if they aren't going to go shopping come July 1st, Niskanen could be a good candidate to take on a more offensive role this campaign. Last season he also averaged 2:54 on the power-play per contest which should have definitely equated to more than the 15 points that he tallied. I know a lot of people have given up on him, but if you are in a deep league or looking for a fourth sleeper defenseman, Niskanen makes a great option. Kris Russell – Russell is in a similar boat to Niskanen mentioned above. He's young and talented while possessing the historical pedigree to be very successful at the NHL level. It's just a matter of when it all comes together. Russsell held back a bit due to the coaching of Hitchcock, but now with Arniel behind the bench it might just be the trigger that opens up the offensive game for Russell. A 35-point season isn't out of the question for the former Medicine Hat Tiger. Anton Stralman – Following along the same lines as Russell, Stralman could also be in for a mini-breakout season this year under the new regime in Columbus. He was tops amongst the Jackets blue-liners in terms of power-play ice-time, so if he can maintain that gig he should be in for a solid 40+ point campaign. Sami Lepisto – Lepisto is a bit of a stretch pick, but still possesses some intrigue for the Coyotes this year. In his brief AHL career the Finn has recorded 87 points in 125 contests with the Hersey Bears, which is certainly an impressive feat. The problem is that he sits behind Ed Jovanovski, Adrian Aucoin, and Keith Yandle on the depth charts and that could be a lethal thing for a defenseman, but if JovoCop takes the usual 10-15 games off for injury, it might just be enough of a crack for Lepisto to gain some fantasy value. Check back Thursday for the second half of this article which will discuss the fourth year players from the Eastern Conference. It's going to be a doozy! Questions or comments?

Closure Review
Game Emblems
The Good
By creating intriguing rules and pushing its ideas to impossible places, Closure cements itself as a great puzzler.
The Good
- Imaginative light/dark relationship
- A wide variety of clever puzzles
- Smooth difficulty curve
- Well-realized aesthetics.
The Bad
- Small control issues.
Unimaginable horrors hide in the darkness. Is there a monster lurking just out of sight? Or maybe a deadly trap poised to cut you to shreds? In Closure, such conventional fears never surface. Rather, it's the darkness itself that poses the biggest threat. To step off the lightened path into the gaping, black abyss is to know death up close and personal. One misstep and you're swallowed whole. The rules defy the very basics of reality, opening the door for a diverse assortment of puzzling rooms that leave you gasping at their sheer inventiveness. Death greets you when light fades away, and it's through this dynamic that Closure establishes itself as a smart and perplexing puzzler.
Four legs, two arms, one horn. It's a creature that should stay out of view from prying eyes, in the shelter of the darkness. Despite its off-putting appearance, this is not a beast to be feared: it's the protagonist. Walking with crablike grace, it picks its way through the blackened wasteland. It's scared of the dark, and rightfully so. Though it doesn't utter a word, there's a jarring humanness to its movement.. When it makes a mistake, it shrugs, a creepy caricature of human reaction to failure. Jump into one of the four worlds, and you don a mask, hiding the alien body underneath. These superficial changes make your character look human, though you're never secure in this assessment. Unnerving imagery hides in the darkness. A lighted gazebo populated by all manner of deranged beings bursts into view when you least expect it, exposing the weird underbelly of this desolate world.
The sparse narrative threads hint at a larger story, though the details of your predicament are never explored. This trend begins in the introductory levels. Nudges push you in the right direction, but Closure avoids spelling out exactly what the rules entail. You learn for yourself, through experimentation, so you understand the underlying mechanics because you discovered them yourself, rather than having them told to you.
You stand in utter blackness. At your feet lies a sphere of light. It emits a radiant glow that hints at safety, peace. However, the darkness ahead, behind, above, below you is anything but. A prompt urges you to pick up this light source. You cradle it in your arms and walk forward. The path lights up. Where once only darkness existed, now there's light and solid ground to walk upon. Behind you, darkness swallows what used to be a safe path. Behind you, there's only death. So you walk forward, shining the light to slowly reveal the path before you.
Closure is built upon the relationship of light and darkness. Anything that's visible becomes tangible. Ground and walls materialize in your view, transforming into sturdy objects that you can interact with. When the light fades away, those same constructions cease to exist. Walk across a lighted patch of ground, and no danger troubles you. Step on that same place without the protective aura of a light, and you fall into a pitch-black gulf. It's a surreal concept that turns its nose up at the most basic ideas that form your own perception of reality. Coming to terms with the rules requires you to relax any stubborn attachment you have to the nature of existence.
Your objective is straightforward: find the door that transports you to the next level. But getting to the door isn't always enough to move onward. You might need a special key to get inside. No light is emitted from these objects, so you have to improvise. Shine a beam of light on the ground so you can carry the key to the door, or juggle a light source to keep the key away from the darkness. If it falls into the inky abyss, you fail the level, so tread carefully.

I have been using this treadmill for over a year and it works perfectly. Customer service is also very helpful. This machine has exceeded my expectations and I know that my next treadmill will also be a LifeSpan. Keep up the good work. (Posted on 1/12/13)
I have been really happy with my treadmill. It is very easy to use and happily I have discovered that I can use it barefoot which is great exercise for my little toes. Ha! (Posted on 8/31/12)
Just wanted to give an update on my fantastic experience with LifeSpan's customer service. After speaking with one of the company representatives on the phone the same day I sent the an email about my treadmill display showing an E1 message and then shutting down, it was determined the control board and belt needed to be replaced on my TR1200i. The representative assured me there would be no cost to me and that he would have a local service technician schedule an appointment with me. I received delivery confirmation on my parts the next day via email and saw your company shipped the parts by 2 day air. Wow, I was thoroughly impressed with the fact you would two day ship the parts. I was also immediately contacted by Dennis Peters from Cedar Valley Fitness Repair by email and he told me to call him as soon as I got my parts to schedule the repair. On Friday, April 13 I received the parts and called Mr. Peters to schedule the repair. Mr. Peters agreed to meet with me Monday afternoon and did arrive yesterday and make the repairs required. While speaking with Mr. Peters as he worked on the treadmill, he spoke positively about Lifespan products and was happy to hear me speak so highly of LifeSpan's customer service, as we both appreciate what a rarity that seems to be these days. After switching the control board and putting the new belt on, Mr. Peters actually ran over a mile on my treadmill in his socks to ensure the control board was repaired. Man, talk about above and beyond my expectations!! I put the treadmill to work last night, 3 miles with speeds from 7.5-9.5 mph and not even a hiccup! Looks like your technicians were dead-on. I cannot say enough good about the positive experience I have had with your company and will share my story with anyone asking about my treadmill. What a great decision to purchase a Lifespan product. I am currently making some property improvements on my home and have been absolutely disgusted with the customer service from some of the contractors I have had to work with. It is so refreshing and pleasing to have such a positive experience regarding repair issues. It is upsetting to spend hard earned money on a product and have it fail, but with the level of customer service your company provides and the way you have stood behind your product, I could not be any more pleased! Thank You SO MUCH for that service. (Posted on 8/17/12)

Best New Treadmill
Delivered to the closest dry area (porch, garage or inside the closest door of your home). Since your product is being shipped via freight carrier you will be contacted by phone to schedule a delivery time since this shipping method requires a signature.
Most products are delivered within ten days of your purchase.
Delivered by a freight carrier with lift gate, two delivery professionals will place your product in the room of your choice. Rooms can be up or down two flights of stairs only, additional flights will be charged an additional $15 per flight. This is our recommended service option since the assembly process is quite basic for most LifeSpan pieces of fitness equipment.
This service is a two-step process (see exempt items below) that will require two separately scheduled appointments. The complete White Glove Service includes delivery of the product to your home, placement in the room of your choice (up or down two flights of stairs), unpacking and removal of debris and the final step of assembly. The final step of product assembly requires a certified LifeSpan technician to come to your home and assemble the product that was placed in your room of choice by the delivery team.
You have no items to compare.
Delivery Options
For orders placed on www.LifeSpanFitness.com, shipping and delivery is currently not available to Alaska, Hawaii, Canada or other countries. Authorized LifeSpan retailers in your country, if available, can assist you.
UPS/USPS Shipments
UPS and USPS shipments will follow their standard protocols for package deliveries. It is up to the discretion of the driver whether a package is left when no one is home. If the driver feels that the package could be stolen or get damaged based on your location or weather conditions the driver will not drop the package but will leave a first attempt notice. The driver will make three attempts with notices on each attempt and then return the product to the distribution center to be held for the customer to pick up. After seven days the shipment is considered undeliverable and will be returned to the shipper.
Curbside Delivery
Delivered to the curb or driveway. The customer is responsible for moving the product from the point of delivery to the garage or room where the product will reside. The drivers are not responsible for placing the product inside the garage or home. LifeSpan will not be responsible for rain damage or stolen product if the product cannot be moved to a dry, secure location. Since most treadmills weigh over 175 lbs., if a second person is not available to help move the product to the home a better option is Threshold Delivery or the best option is Room of Choice Delivery.
Exempt Items — Items that only require one step in this process are: TR100/TR200/TR800-DT5/TR1200-DT5/TR5000-DT5/TR800-DT3/TR1200-DT3/TR5000-DT3/TR800-DT7/TR1200-DT7/TR5000-DT7/C3-DT3. These units will be assembled by the delivery team.

A new comic called 'The Property of Hate' http://rgb.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/ just started up not too long ago, and the art for it so far looks quite superb.
Right now I'm just waiting to see what it'll turn into.
A new comic called 'The Property of Hate' http://rgb.thecomicseries.com/comics/1/ just started up not too long ago, and the art for it so far looks quite superb.
Right now I'm just waiting to see what it'll turn into.
It's a great comic! Recommended by many upstanding individuals.
Especially nice to see a comic with fantasy politics that aren't "evil empire vs noble kingdoms!" There's some very realistic grayscale characterization of the nations involved, and the characters have interestingly different (and contradictory) opinions on them.
I'm mostly just impressed with the amount it has come along over the past few months. Especially in terms of dialogue, in which the author's made-up accents and odd gags littered around are really a shame and a distraction in the first few strips.
And as I have mentioned in the last thread, if you don't like it on other terms, at least read this last chapter, because it really has been gorgeous and intriguing.
So the march madness thing is in round 4 now. as much as it doesn't matter, it's still cool to see how your favorite comics stack up against other people's favorite comics. Also I'd love to see gunnerkrigg court beat penny arcade, and it's really close.
There are actually a lot of comics in the top 16 that I like. Dr mc ninja made it but it looks like it has no chance really. And then there's the LICD vs xkcd bracket, which is to me like a lesser of two evils deal (I only vote if there's a comic I actually like in there)
I do still get the occasional chuckle from xkcd, so I'd certainly favor it over LICD.
Had to vote LICD, not that it'd matter- XKCD has the biggest and most undeserved fandom out there, Sohmer never stood a chance. The hardest choice there was McNinja vs OotS... ultimately had to go with the sticks, in hopes that they'll get to go up against XKCD and make people actually think about what they're voting for. By numbers... MSPA is clearly in the lead, with ~400 more votes than XKCD. The Cyanide & Happiness voters are almost certainly accounted for in the XKCD vote, though. I'm hoping there aren't many people who voted for MSPA only out of spite for C&H, which is pretty damn polarizing. Just like I voted LICD because I didn't want XKCD to move ahead (ha ha ha), there might be a significant portion of anti-C&H but pro-XKCD voters- their fandoms are kind of competitive. Girl Genius has a huge percentage lead over Something Positive, but they've only got the ~1500 votes.
I find xkcd very hit or miss, but I could never bring myself to vote in favor of the bile-inducing garbage-pile that is LICD.
Meanwhile, in actual webcomics land: What Birds Know's latest update has done what I thought would be impossible. It's made Vandi's day even shittier.
It's a real triumph for the human spirit.
You jerk.
You just made me go and binge that
And now that I'm already two hours past my bedtime, all my happiness has forever been sucked out of me.
At least it ended on her mom. And not Dores or something. aurghghh..
Seriously I hope everyone goes and reads this now. Took me almost two hours to binge the entire thing very slowly and thoughtfully, and I don't regret it in the slightest.
Also I'm hugely impressed by the consistency in art! There has been improvement, but not in ways most people improve (ie Gunnerkrigg Court: Drastically).
Oh yeah, What Birds Know is pretty great.
And you just know Vandi's gonna have to go back there.
Also, today's Penny Dreadful might just be the best thing ever.
Welp, Andrew gave GKC a plug on his tumblr, so maybe a portion of this unspeakably massive fanbase will help the Court triumph over the Arcade (nothing against PA, I like them, but I like Gunnerkrigg more). At the very least it's more exposure for that excellent, excellent comic.
Drill, I'm not even going to ask how you have enough atmospheres of pressure to live without a suit.
Guys, I just realized that MSPA and Gunnerkrigg might go against each other (if everything turns out well).
Ah! See, this is why these things are a bad idea!
But first, there's a 117 vote difference between PA and Gunnerkrigg! Guys, we gotta do something!

JENKINSVILLE — Members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission met Tuesday with Jenkinsville residents to explain the Construction Reactor Oversight Process (cROP), a pilot program that ensures nuclear reactors 2 and 3 are being constructed in accordance with the NRC approved design.
The cROP program included a public information response session in its procedures before it could become a permanent NRC entity.
The cROP contains assessment, inspection, enforcement and communication programs. The system is used for the Vogtle Nuclear plant being constructed in Waynesboro, Ga., as well as V.C. Summer in Fairfield County.
The NRC has been running a pilot program for construction site inspections for about a year and as it nears the end of the pilot program is seeking community input to see if any changes potentially need to be made to cROP.
Senior Operations Engineer Tom Kozak with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission said the pilot went fairly well and that there were lessons learned during the program.
The NRC's role is to verify that design commitments in the license agreement with SCE&G are being followed in accordance with the design. For construction to be considered complete, 875 criteria must be met. A five-member commission appointed by President Barack Obama votes if the plant has met all design requirements before any fuel is loaded into the new facility for it to begin power production.
"This is a process with defined boundaries," Kozak said.
The enforcement component of cROP is color-coded, with green for issues of very low safety significance to white, yellow (such as an entire reactor system being constructed but not meeting design function) and lastly red which is used for high-risk findings. Though unlikely, Kozak said, the high risk findings typically do not occur until later in the construction process.
Level Green issues
In November, the Jenkinsville community learned of a construction issue at the site that related to rebar. On the color-based scale used by cROP, the issue was coded green, the mildest measure indicating the incident was of very low safety significance. The issue came to light during an NRC inspection conducted between July 1, 2012, and Sept. 30, 2012, when three violations of NRC requirements were identified:
1. "On and before May 10, 2012, the licensee failed to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis for safety-related systems, structures, and components were correctly translated into specifications, drawings, and instructions."
2. There were issues with the testing of surface coatings on the reactor's containment shell. "Measures shall be established to assure that applicable regulatory requirements and the design basis, as defined in 10CFR50.2 and as specified in the license application, for those structures, systems, and components to which this appendix applies are correctly translated into specifications, drawings, procedures, and instructions."
3. "As of August 7, 2012, the licensee, through its contractor Shaw, failed to perform adequate examinations of products upon delivery to assure that purchased materials conformed to the procurement documents. This violation is associated with a Green SDP construction finding."
SCE&G, as licensee, had to take the issue up with its vendor and then ensure a corrective action plan was put into place. That plan was then sent to the NRC per procedure.
Kozak said the rebar was not bad rebar, per se. The issue was in the way instructions were interpreted. Kozak said that kind of thing happens occasionally as ideas move from the drawing board into the real world, but that the culture of safety surrounding nuclear power helps account for those kinds of issues.
Vogtle had similar issues with their plant construction as well. Kozak noted that Westinghouse-Shaw conducts work on behalf of the licensee and not as a vendor.
The NRC stressed that at no time was there an immediate effect on public health because the plant is still under construction and has no fuel loaded into it. The predictable, objective, repeatable measures of the cROP are designed to promote the culture of safety with checks and balances that make sure all nuclear plant design is in accordance to standards.
The assessment program began Jan. 1, 2012, at V.C. Summer and so far one mid-cycle assessment report has been made available on the NRC website. Every six months the NRC will issue a public letter that reports on SCE&G's performance. Additionally, corrective action program effectiveness reviews are done to see if any findings could indicate a trend. Trends could have implications for other nuclear plants either in operation or under construction.
As part of verifying vendors' work, NRC's Region 2 in Atlanta has specialists who inspect various vendor sites. The NRC noted that on site inspections are made at vendor sites, however on site inspectors are not full time at the vendor sites.
Community feedback
Public interaction with the nuclear plant extends beyond information sessions and presentations like the one at McCrorey-Liston. In fact, Jenkinsville resident Earnestine Raab commended SCE&G for its efforts to promote the area to a higher level despite a decreasing population.
A member of the V.C. Summer Community Coalition Board chosen by Jenkinsville native Jeff Archie, senior vice president of Nuclear Operations Jeff Archie, Raab makes it to the meetings on the final Monday of each month.
"You explained things to us and that keeps us from being in the dark. I can go back to the area and to my church and tell people they do not need to be afraid," Raab said. She said there are members on the board from Western Fairfield County and that each region of the county has representation on the coalition.
Russell Feaster of Jenkinsville has served about two years on the coalition, an experience that leads him to believe the plant is taking all proper steps to operate in a safe, responsible manner.
"As citizens, as business leaders, as public officials, we all should ensure that the V.C. Summer plan is operating in a safe and responsible manner," Feaster said. "I also believe that we should ensure that if the plant is not operating safely and responsibly that they should be held accountable."
He was impressed by the contingency plan, by the efforts to keep the public informed, presentations and by the calendar and monthly newsletter.
NRC officials said another assessment meeting will be held for the public in mid March to early April.

In this four day teen workshop we studied the work of contemporary artists who use constructed objects and environments as subject matter for their photographs. Many of the photos here are the result of collaborations in which teens worked together to alter found objects and build staged environments for the camera. Their work was inspired by artists such as Christo, Sandy Skoglund, Laurie Simmons, Guido Daniele and Andy Goldsworthy.

*BP Arco station owners told sale could happen by June 1. HOUSTON/ WASHINGTON, May 16- Independent western U.S. refiner Tesoro Corp may take ownership of BP Plc's 240,000 barrel per day refinery in Carson, California, as early as June 1, sources familiar with the transaction said on Thursday.
HOUSTON, May 2- Tesoro Corp is nearing the end of the regulatory review of its planned purchase of BP Plc's 240,000- barrels-per-day Los Angeles- area refinery in Carson, California, Tesoro Chief Executive Greg Goff said on Thursday.
LONG BEACH, Calif., April 25- Economic turmoil in Spain, Portugal and other southern European countries has depressed their stock markets to the point where they look downright cheap.
That cruel reality confronts the four large emerging stock markets known as the BRICs: Brazil, Russia, India and China.
LONG BEACH, Calif., March 13- Foreign stocks are coveted for the superior growth and value they can offer. Investors have turned to them lately for higher income, too. The recent outperformance of U.S. stocks helps to account both for their comparatively meager yields and expensive valuations, said Alex Robins, an international equity manager at J.P.
NEW YORK, March 8- Boeing Co said on Friday it is consolidating its North American flight and maintenance training operations in Miami, a shift that will move all flight simulators for the 787 Dreamliner and other aircraft out of the Seattle area.
LONDON, March 6- Unless prices for natural gas and crude start to converge soon in the United States, the overwhelming incentive to switch to dual fuel engines which use a mix of diesel and natural gas will be overwhelming. It will oust oil-based fuels from a huge range of applications, ranging from trains, ships and trucks to industrial engines.
The outlook for cheaper gas in the wake of the shale gas boom in North America as well as toughening environmental regulation in Europe have driven up investment in gas as a transport fuel.
WASHINGTON, Feb 22- Metropolitan areas in Texas saw the fastest economic growth as the recovery took hold in 2011, but the New York City region still had the largest gross domestic product in the United States, according to federal data released on Friday.
LONDON, Feb 20- Few places on earth bear the scars of oil production like Long Beach, California. Parts of the city have sunk by as much as 29 feet from their original level because of subsidence caused by extraction of billions of barrels of oil from the giant Wilmington field lying directly beneath the city's streets and the adjoining harbour.

Golden Fusuma and Tatami
Tatami with Golden Fusuma at Shunkoin, a subtemple of Myoshinji Temple, was one of the most important places for Japanese Zen Buddhism in the early 20th century. Several sliding door panels at Shunkoin were painted by Eigaku Kano of the renowned Kano School of painting. Some of the paintings have Confucian themes as Confucianism was important to samurai during the Edo period when these paintings were made.

SS-2000 Trouble

• Page 1 of 1
SS-2000 TroubleHi There folks I live in the 92646 zip code and have a SS-2000 antenna, prior to the DTV cut-over it was working great receiving all the channels available, recently I realized that channels 11 (previously one of my strongest) and 13 do not come in anymore, I've rescanned the TV and still no go. Is my antenna failing or is there an adjustment I need to make to it's pointing? Thanks for your advice.

Re: SS-2000 TroubleI do get channel 7 just fine and always got 11 and 13 before
Re: SS-2000 TroubleGood morning Billpear -
Just to humor us please do another scan on your tv. Also if you can manually enter the channels please do that. We have seen numerous occasions where the automatic scan does not pick up enough signal but putting it in manually solves the problem. The overall issue sounds like you are just not receiving enough signal on those channels anymore. I am suprised you receive channel 7 and not 11/13, that is why I think the manual entry of those channels will work. However, it is possible they are broadcasting at a slightly lower power and you are just not receiving enough signal. Do you have a long cable run from your antenna to the tv? If so, you may need a pre-amp. Try moving your antenna several feet horizontally and try another scan as well. The new digital signal works like a cell phone signal and you may be in a "dead area" of your house. Let us know, thanks.
Re: SS-2000 TroubleI will try moving the antenna and if I recall I have tried to direct enter the channels but will try that again, I wouldn't call my cable run long no more than 20 feet. I really want to confirm that it is not a "Partial Falure" of the antenna, an it is more of a signal/aiming issue. Thanks!

Some people see science and religion as enemies, at war for leadership in our modern culture. Others see science and religion as completely separate and unrelated facets of life. However, science is not the only source of facts, and religion reaches beyond the realm of values and morals. In fact, religion can have a positive impact on science, such as in the development of modern medical ethics. Many early scientific leaders were devout Christians, as are some scientific leaders today. Science can also enhance the spiritual life of believers. Christians rejoice in scientific discoveries that reveal the glory of God the creator.

An Obituary for the "Warfare" View of Science and Religion
As an historian of science, I belong to a small, somewhat esoteric club. But our collective anonymity may now be changing with the publication of a splendid new book from Harvard University Press, Galileo Goes to Jail and Other Myths about Science and Religion.
Monopolizing Knowledge, Part 1: Science and Scientism
In his new book Monopolizing Knowledge, physicist Ian Hutchinson engages with the world-view he calls "scientism": "the belief that science, modeled on the natural sciences, is the only source of real knowledge".
Biology and Ideology – From Descartes to Dawkins
Ever since modern science emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries, it has been used and abused for purposes that lie well beyond science. Biology has been particularly susceptible to ideological manipulation and application, a trend that shows no sign of abating.
If God created the universe, what created God?
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?" It suggests that certain arguments for God's existence only push the question of beginnings one step farther back. The Bible and Christian doctrine address this question by defining God as eternal and uncreated, but such answers rarely satisfy nonbelievers. A philosophical response is that God is the ultimate first cause; the atheist is left with a dilemma of what or who that first cause might have been. In the end, an uncaused creator may simply be a more plausible explanation for the universe we live in. Our universe appears to have had a beginning, to be finely tuned for life, and to have a place for love and purpose. These appearances affirm as plausible a prior belief in God.

Even the absence of fly-half Dan Carter shouldn't prevent New Zealand from claiming their 25th straight Test victory over Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.
Carter, the world's best pivot, confirmed on Friday on Twitter that he wouldn't be playing at the Millennium Stadium, having pulled up in discomfort after kicking a ball during a training session on Thursday.
"It is disappointing for Dan, he is hard to replace, but we've got to get on and have belief in the next guy," said All Blacks captain Richie McCaw.
Aaron Cruden comes in for Carter but the world champions are unlikely to be unsettled as they seek to maintain their 59-year unbeaten record against the Welsh.
Wales has lost its last five internationals, with labored displays against Argentina and Samoa this month provoking the frustration of a passionate home crowd and leaving a proud rugby nation fearing the worst this weekend.
"I don't have too much sympathy for them - I am in the opposition camp these days!" said New Zealand coach Steve Hansen, who led Wales in 2002-04.
"But what it does do is make them tighter. Invariably, when they get criticized, they get tighter.
"It will make them more dangerous, I think.
"I am not taking too much notice of their recent form."
Wales are the reigning Six Nations champions and reached the semi-finals of last year's World Cup, showing they have the credentials to give New Zealand a challenge.
But lately they have showed a lack of confidence, form and wit, conceding five tries this month while scoring only one, from an interception.
These current All Blacks have gone 19 tests without defeat and are attempting to create a "legacy," according to winger Cory Jane.
The likelihood is they could run through the Welsh, like the world champions have done against Scotland (51-22) and Italy (42-10) this month.
"People talk about a World Cup hangover this year, but we are proud to play for the All Blacks, and every time we go out on the field we don't want to play badly," Jane said.
Warren Gatland, a New Zealander, is back in charge of Wales after handing over coaching duties to his assistant Rob Howley for the last five tests.
Gatland was recovering from breaking both heels in a fall as Wales lost 3-0 to Australia in a June test series, while he has been attending to British and Irish Lions business over the past two weekends.
His return should galvanize the Welsh but injuries to Adam Jones, Dan Lydiate, Alun-Wyn Jones and, this week, George North leaves them without four of their best players.
Saturday could turn into a damage-limitation exercise for Wales.
"They are the one side you measure yourself against," said assistant coach Robin McBryde.
"They are the world champions, the ones you want to beat.
"We have not only focussed on New Zealand this autumn, but you know it takes something extra, something special, to match the All Blacks and to beat them."
New Zealand is back to full strength after rotating its squad for the Scotland and Italy games.

What's the point of dancing in front of thousands of people if your hat doesn't have an exhibitionist streak?
I think music bacchanalias like the French Quarter Festival must hire exotic young people from Central Casting. There is a look reserved only for such events that most of us don't have, a sort of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" meets "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm." We wouldn't have that look even if they assigned us hats.
Let's just conclude that you no longer have to go to Bourbon Street to see skin, and that self-mutilation is "in."
But older festivalgoers in boring khaki walking shorts know the ropes. They know how to avoid throngs of young people. The space around a small traditional jazz stage in Dutch Alley fills quickly with game geriatrics, most hauling chairs that will be positioned in a rare spot of shade and won't move again all day.
There comes a point in your life when a crowded festival seems more like work than play. But I keep pretending I haven't reached that point. And so I brave the crowds.
I want to hear the Pfister Sisters sing jazzy harmony and the Pine Leaf Boys sing Cajun. I eventually will manage both. I also want to eat at a few of the dozens of food tents set up by New Orleans' most famous eateries, from Galatoire's, which has a wonderful shrimp BLT po'boy, to Bubba Gump's, advertising shrimp cake. And I wouldn't turn down K-Paul's butterbeans and rice with trinity, chicken, pork, andouille, tasso and duck, which today costs only $5.
I can handle the BLT only because a nice young man named William Trahan jumps up and offers his seat when he sees me struggling to balance my bag and the po'boy. "Here, sit down, the rest of my party hasn't arrived," he insists.
That's one thing about New Orleans that never seems to change, no matter the occasion. It has manners. Individuals, most of them, go out of their way to be courteous. Statistically, you may get mugged and murdered before you leave town, but otherwise you'll be treated like royalty.
From the stage in Jackson Square, Pfister Sister Holley Bendtsen gives a nod to Andrew Jackson for defeating the British. "That's why there are no Puritans here," she says. She and her stage sisters have the kind of pleasingly plump bodies that both benefit their lusty singing and keep them from having to pay for cleavage. When they harmonize on "Mood Indigo" it's as if they are triplets co-joined at the lungs.
It gets to be too much eventually. I visit the Tums tent and make my way toward a quieter street outside of the Quarter. Even the quieter New Orleans streets are not quiet visually. The hot-pink bougainvillea is everywhere, and the gardenias leave limp their bloom-burdened bushes. A 1959 Chevrolet parked curbside is painted with voluptuous mermaids and wears this slogan: Good Work Ain't Cheap. Cheap Work Ain't Good.
I feel revived enough to visit a store with AC. I buy a hat, a practical straw number with a shading brim. But, all the same, it is a hat.

We all have to address disaster recovery (DR) at various levels, but we typically must apply the technology to fit rigid parameters -- such as less cost or functionality -- instead of being able to do it right. But what if you didn't have any limitations to hold you back? How would you create the perfect DR model? Here are some things that might go into building the perfect environment for meeting DR requirements.

Where's the equality of animals?
Posted by Victor in Appino, Article of the Week, Grade 8, Middle School, School, tags: aow, aow8, appino, disscussion, environment, extinction, gr.8, lemur, rappino, speciesYou might think going to a zoo is actually helping our world in many ways, since people have jobs being paid, people find enjoyment, and specieas all over the world are perserved. Well, that's not exactly true.
There are a lot of sacrifices zoos must make in order to maintain a "certain" type of species. It might even involve the risk of extinction of another animal. In this article, and gives a great example of this senario, only that people have now pointed this out to the public.
Really, scenarios like these are very difficult to explain, or manage themselves, because of so much people who want to preserve a bunch of animals for the future. We all know zoos must spend lots of money to make room for other animals, especially when it's a problem enough managing the animals they already have. The "big" message here is obvious to me, and it's that people really need to make big sacrifices in order for them to conserve something of large, even for zoos, governments, the Red Cross, and World Relief.
It teaches me that, you can't save everything in the world, you can't actually save the whole world from something, it's cause there's just too much people with too much opinions and needs that effect the issues we need to take care of. Though it might not sound that important to people, that a couple of species of lemurs might not be able to be saved from extinction. But it shows how, we as people, react to these types of things, or how we solve them.
It tells us that it's much more harder than it already is to make a change in the world, or somehow effect/replace how life on this earth works.

At the very top of that page, in the upper right hand corner, there is a login place...sign-in there instead of the login site further down the page (in the middle of page on the right) and it should sign you in and bring up a page where you can click on "On-Line Checkin" and begin the checkin process. Only took me about 15 minutes to complete everything once I got started.
I still haven't been able to access any excursions yet...says none are available at this time and to check back later...so, hopefully later today we should be able to access the excursions.
Well, the computer should be kicking me off soon, so I will work on that email to you and get it sent today! Talk with you soon!
Hey Malinda,
This is your cabin-mate. Did you get my emails? Have you been able to do the online check in on the Holland America website? I keep getting an error... still waiting on a response from Olivia as the folks at Holland America could not help resolve it. I seem to be having technical difficulties ... I hope that's not a sign of things to come... haha (still laughing at this point) :)

Hey Graeme - welcome I don't have a headcount- but there seems to be several of us.
