Suns Strokes: Suns fall to energetic Lakers on the road
Originally published: Nov 17, 2012 - 12:18 am
The Good:
Goran Dragic was a bright spot for the Suns on offense. He scored 22 points and added seven assists and two rebounds.
Luis Scola also added 18 points, while Michael Beasley added 14 of his own along with a career-high nine assists.
The Bad:
The Suns' defense was shoddy against a fast-paced, energetic Lakers attack. New head coach Mike D'Antoni wasn't yet on the sidelines, as he was getting treatment for his knee in the Lakers' locker room, but his presence was surely felt.
Phoenix couldn't contain Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant, who netted 31 points for Los Angeles. Metta World Peace found ways to burn the Suns when it counted, sinking five three-pointers and scoring 22 points on the night.
The Suns have now dropped three of their last four games.
� The Lakers put together a 17-2 run over the final two quarters to pull away.
� Former Suns' icon Steve Nash didn't face his former team as the Lakers point guard missed his seventh consecutive game with a small fracture in his left leg. He is expected to miss at least another week of action before getting examined again next weekend.
� The Suns continued their streak of falling behind early in games this season. They have now trailed by double digits in nine of their 10 games this year.
Up Next:
The Suns will host the defending champion Miami Heat on Saturday at 7:00 p.m.

Images of George Washington abound but the most faithful likeness remains a terra cotta bust created by Jean Antoine Houdon. The French sculptor visited Mount Vernon in October 1785 to carefully observe Washington's movements and expressions, even making a plaster "life mask" of Washington's face to accurately preserve every detail. Washington was then 53 years old. When completed, Houdon gave the bust to Washington and it has remained at Mount Vernon for over two centuries.
The overall height of this bust is 5 3/4". The heavily weighted black base of this reproduction measures 3 1/4" x 2 3/4" x 1".

Frankfurt auto show: Fisker Surf breaks cover, is set to arrive in 2013
From the Chevrolet Nomad to the Dodge Magnum, station wagons occasionally display the style and flair required to turn heads. And with a few strokes of a pen, Henrik Fisker is attempting to craft his own interpretation of the modern family hauler.
The five-door Surf is breaking cover this week at the Frankfurt motor show, and the wagon blends electric-car capability with form and function, all wrapped in a slinky design based on Fisker's Karma sedan. The Surf will launch in 2013 and is expected to be sold in the U.S. market and around the world.
The wagon uses a battery pack that works with a generator and a turbocharged 260-hp, four-cylinder engine. Range is 50 miles on electric power, and it's capable of 300 total miles. There are two driving modes, sport and stealth.
In sport mode, the company claims a whopping 981 lb-ft of torque is possible, and acceleration is a brisk 5.9 seconds to 60 mph, en route to a top speed of 125 mph.
Stealth is the default setting and summons sufficient power to reach 60 mph in 7.9 seconds with a top speed of 95 mph. Fisker says it takes 14 hours to recharge the Surf on a 110-volt outlet and six hours on a 220-volt outlet.
Fisker, a former Aston Martin and BMW designer, conceived the Surf with flowing lines, pronounced haunches and a new three-dimensional grille. The car rolls on 22-inch wheels, with stopping power from Brembo brakes that work with an energy-recovery system. It all rides on a rigid aluminum structure. The weight is distributed 47/53 percent, with a bias to the rear, and Fisker says the dimensions and proportions are the same as those of the Karma.
Other features include a tinted panoramic glass roof and an optional solar panel. There also are LED brake lights and a roof spoiler in rear. The cargo area has a shelf, which the company dubbed the "podium," to make better use of storage space while coping with the electric powertrain's inverters set beneath the floor. The battery also runs underneath the center console.
The company also tries to display its green credentials by noting that the interior trim wood comes from sunken logs and fire-damaged trees, rather than live timber. The leather comes from energy-sustainable tannery in Scotland.
Work on the Surf began in 2009, and Autoweek first reported plans of potential Karma variants in August 2008. Still, the Surf is a touch of a surprise reveal in Germany. Sometimes surprises, and wagons, are good.

Well not sure if it matters if the affiliates are located there or not, but being from Canada, I was advised by Revenue Canada that IF we sell to Other provinces we Must contact them and charge that provinces sales tax and pay that tax to them.
So if we sell to Provinces like Alberta, and we are located in Ontario, we will Not charge them PST. Only GST becuz that is the only tax in that province. In Ontario, we must charge the full GST & PST.

30/11/12: ESPN "has been told" that United are considering whether to renew an interest in Wesley Sneijder in January. The report reveals that Inter Milan are liekly to sell the Dutchman after contract talks stalled and hints Nani could move in the opposite direction.
29/11/12: The Daily Mail throws a new name into the mix - Chelsea's Conor Hunte. The 16-year-old has represented England Schoolboys but is being lined up by United, City and Liverpool, according to the report, as he has yet to pen professional terms at Stamford Bridge.
29/11/12: Mesut Ozil is back on United's radar, according to The Sun. The Real Madrid schemer is rated in the £24million class by the newspaper who, it feels, could be a replacement for Paul Scholes after Luka Modric arrived at the Bernabeu to offer competition for his place.

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Infographic: "In the Pipeline" for Our Evolution & Christian Faith Grant Program
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
Searching for Motivated Belief: Introducing John Polkinghorne
Several times in my series of columns about "Science and the Bible," I briefly discussed a few ideas from John Polkinghorne, one of the leading Christian thinkers of our time. Although I presented him mainly as a representative of the "Theistic Evolution" (TE) view, much of his published work is about other topics, several of them largely or entirely unrelated to TE. It's time we got better acquainted with him.
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career
(Needs a summary)
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.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
New Leadership for The BioLogos Foundation
With great pleasure, the Board of Directors of The BioLogos Foundation announces the appointment of Deborah Haarsma to become our next President, and of Jeffrey Schloss to the role of Senior Scholar. Professor Haarsma assumes leadership from our outgoing President Darrel Falk, to whom we owe a tremendous debt of gratitude.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Southern Baptist Voices: And in Conclusion . . .
My goal in leading this organization for these past three and a half years has been to lay the groundwork to help my fellow evangelicals see that the conflict between our faith and mainstream science is not as great as they thought it was. In the process, my thinking has been significantly shaped by listening to people who think differently than I do
Introducing the BioLogos Navigator
Part of BioLogos mission is to show how all things hold together in Christ—to show how a Christian worldview integrates the knowledge we have of God through the Scriptures with the knowledge we have of God through the other areas in which He reveals himself as Creator and Redeemer.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Introducing The Resource Finder
How do we give our visitors access to our vast archive of resources, and how do we make sure they are finding the resources that address their most pressing questions?
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Conversations in Creation
Since the BioLogos/Highway Media collaboration From the Dust made its worldwide debut this year, we've been excited to hear how others have been using the film to jump start their own conversations with fellow Christians about science and faith .
Using Film to Catalyze Conversations on Faith and Science
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.
Series: Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the theistic evolution view.

Sound Check: J Dilla Youth Day remembers Detroit producer
James "J Dilla" Yancey may be gone, yet he's anything but forgotten.
The groundbreaking Detroit music producer — a creator of Slum Village who went on to work with Common, the Roots, A Tribe Called Quest, Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu and many others — died in 2006 from complications of lupus at age 31. But the J Dilla Foundation, started by his mother, Maureen "Ma Dukes" Yancey, is keeping his spirit and his work alive. Three compilations of unreleased music are due out, starting with the just-released "The Lost Scrolls Volume I," and he'll be celebrated this weekend with Dilla Day Detroit 2013 — actually two days of special events in the city.
The Dilla Day concert takes place on Saturday, Feb. 9, at the Fillmore Detroit, 2115 Woodward Ave., with performances by Talib Kweli, Royce Da 5'9", Frank & Dank, Illa J., B. Williams Experiment, DJ Spinna, DJ House Shoes, Dj Sicari and Miguel Atwood Ferguson. Yolanda "Yo-Yo" Whitaker and Grap Luva will host the show. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20-$50, and proceeds will go to the foundation, which helps fund inner-city music programs and provides scholarships for music students.
Then on Sunday, Feb. 10, Dilla Youth Day takes place from noon to 4 p.m. at the 5e Gallery, 2661 Michigan Ave., Detroit. The event will feature performances by the Urban Strings Youth Orchestra and the dance teams Hardcore Detroit and Motor City Rockerz, and a workshop on making hip-hop beats.
More details on both events can be found at: www.dilladaydetroit.com and www.jdillafoundation.org.

He and I have been talking more since he made the decision to enlist. I guess we finally have something major in common. His was a decision I am very proud of. See, I retired from the Air Force myself after 20 years of service and it's always a very special feeling when one's sons follow in their old man's footsteps.
I wouldn't trade a minute of my Air Force experience for anything and I hope Ben feels the same way.
I hope Ben realizes how proud he's already made me. He's a fine young man of 22 years and a rather good look-ing chap, if I do say so myself. Of course, some say he favors me. That's a cross enough for the young man to bear. Ha ha….
He enlisted on Aug. 14. That was a month to the day shy of what will be the 34th anniversary of my enlistment. I'm sure things have changed. But I am still sure that if a young man or woman seriously approaches a military ca-reer, it will make him or her a better person.
Ben is an extremely intelligent young man and I know he will do his country proud while on active duty.
I did offer him some fatherly advice, advice I offer here to any young person going into, or thinking about going into, the military.
Remember, when you are in basic training, your training instructors have a job to do. How well they do that job will directly affect your military career. They must first tear you down from being an individual and then build you into a person who recognizes the team comes first.
It's not personal towards you as an individual, but it is personal to them as to how well they succeed because they know that what you learn at the very beginning of your career will be things useful to you 15 and 20 years later.
Being a member of the U.S. military is not just a job. When you took that oath of office it was a serious matter. Other than being a first responder, no other career requires you to possibly lay your life on the line. Never forget that.
Ben, I pray you never have to venture into harm's way, but if you do, I know you will equip yourself well.
Remember to choose your friends wisely. Running with the wrong crowd in the military carries the same conse-quences as it does in the civilian world — only the penalties can be much harsher. Just because you are old enough to buy a drink in the airman's club, I hope you choose otherwise.
Alcohol and being a good airman do not go together. I've been there and have seen how it has affected otherwise good men and women.
Cigarettes are another temptation to avoid. "Smoke if you got 'em" is not as romantic as it sounds.
Take your training seriously. One day it may save your life. It may seem silly now to have to fold your T-shirts just so or to keep your toothpaste dispenser clean. But it's the discipline you will need if you ever fold a parachute or maintain a fuel line on an F-16.
Keep your uniform looking good, clean and pressed. Always show pride in yourself and your branch of the ser-vice. Doing this will show respect for all those who have worn the uniform before you. You are another generation to stand watch over our country's freedoms and we are depending on you to do it well.
The sky is the limit for you now. I think back to how excited I was to wear that blue uniform and to dream of the possibilities as I left my technical school at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, Miss.
I had a great career and I am praying you do as well. Take every opportunity that comes your way for advance-ment. Study hard for your promotion tests and always keep a sharp salute for those officers with which you will come in contact.
Never forget that your family is proud of you and loves you dearly. Keep in your heart that your dad is very proud of you.
For one last piece of advice, always lean on the Jesus Christ who has loved and saved you. You can be a Chris-tian and serve in the military. It won't be easy, but you were brought up to know what is expected of a Christian man and you can do it. I know you can.
Oh, and one other thing, don't forget to write – especially your Nana.
As usual, God bless….

Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
Letting God Out of the Box
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
Following God's Path, Part 1
I've loved science for as long as I can remember, and from an early age I imagined my future career as a scientist. I also grew up immersed within Christian Fundamenatalism.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Joanna's Story
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.
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".
My Faith Shouldn't Be Alive (But It Is, and Here's Why)
By all accounts, my faith should have perished the moment I started asking questions about faith and science. All my life I'd been taught that I had to choose—between believing the Bible and believing my science book, between honoring God and embracing evolution.
Series: The Biblical Premise of Uniformitarianism
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 1: An Ancient Earth
The only conclusions in science which are widely accepted are those which are supported by multiple, reinforcing lines of evidence – "all roads must lead to Rome". If there is even one scientific trajectory that seems to clearly lead off to Peoria instead of Rome, the scientific process demands that the scientist find out why.
Reading the Bible Plain and Simple, Part 1
In the 1980s, I picked up the book The Genesis Flood by Whitcomb and Morris. It was the first book I was aware of that seemed to maintain respect for the Bible as God's Word yet also produced legitimate scientific arguments for its viewpoint. I was hooked.
Why BioLogos?
Outside of my family and my personal relationship with God, there is nothing in recent years that has shaped me more profoundly than the Sunday School class I teach. It all began ten years ago, when I was asked to do a three week series on biology and faith.
Scripture vs. the Facts? Working through a Crisis of Understanding
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: David Wilkinson
"If I have one criticism of my fellow theologians from time to time, it's that they're often stuck in the physics of the 19th century rather than the 20th and 21st centuries."
Series: Quantum Leap
Dean Nelson and Karl Giberson address the warfare mentality present at the intersection of science and Christian faith through the story of John Polkinghorne: one man who dared to cross the boundary from physics into priesthood. Through a series of extensive interviews with Polkinghorne himself, Nelson and Giberson are able to examine the deeper questions of "how do we know Truth?" and "how does a leading scientist think about the more mysterious aspects of faith -- prayer, miracles, life after death, resurrection?" The series enriches the discussion about science and religion through the voice of this generation's most significant thinker on this topic.
Navigating the Crises
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.

magpie tales: blue plate special
groaning, it takes nearly all the effort she has left to lift her head. "can't they read", she mumbles to the empty diner, half expecting a smart response from cheryl the cashier, but she along with everyone else had been smart, slipping out the back at closing time. she had only wanted a minute, to feel the quiet.
a pale shadow hangs in the moonlight streaming through the door, the lack of response obviously meaning nothing to whoever is there. tap...tap...tap...
"alright, already", this time loud enough to echo, sending throbbing pain through her temples.
rising slowly, her feet shuffle along the linoleum, until she stands before the obstinate...old man. draped in a brown trench coat, his shock white hair peeking from beneath a fedora, the man's smile curls beneath thick glasses. she just stands, staring.
"can i come in?", his voice like fog, creeping through the glass to her ears.
"no, we are closed."
"yeah, i saw that. i was just hoping someone was here."
"well, you will have to come back tomorrow", she turns to head toward the back, pressing her thumbs into her temples.
"look, we are closed! now go away!", realising how loud she was, she gazes once more toward the door to find the old man gone, only a rose laying on the cold gray sidewalk.
peering through the window, she scans the street, finding it empty, as if the whole world was asleep. rattling the bolt, the door glides open and she retrieves the rose, finding a note attached by a ribbon.
to my blue plate special, i just needed to see you, one more time...
a soft warm wind washes her face, as she stands, still holding the door. funny, that's what my husband calls me, she thinks, before locking up once more, and heading through the kitchen to where her car waits, in the parking lot, to take her home.
This is a Magpie Tale.

Oh the cliff hanger kills me. I like the way you leave it so delicately, despite us all wanting to know if that was the last she would see of her husband or if he travelled back in time to see her, or, or, or...
Brilliant again. - May 14, 2010 at 8:42 PM

I love it. It reminds me of the one coversation you wished you had, or the question you wish you would have asked, only it is now too late because they are gone from this world. I think the husband is dead- but the optimistic side of me says he is alive and the old man has reminded her to appreciate him.

zuzana, that is kinda the feel i was going for...my original thought was an aging husband gets one last chance to see his wife who never made it to his age...only she does not recognize him because he is older...she may have missed an opportunity(becuase she was distracted by circumstance), but he made the most of his...

- chiccoreal said...
Dear Brian: Impeccable style! Love the way you describe the scene with the streaming light, the solitary rose creating a stark atmosphere to imply a "film noir" mood. The woman/waitress could have taken more time (pun) and she should have, she could have then she would have been happy ever after with hubby who wasnt coming back as a ghost! I get it!Then it would have been a happy ending unfortunately this did not happen and that's just the way it goes; life's own laws of Newton physics metes out this unkind karmic justice. Lovely hubris!

Oh my! I heard the theme song to The Twilight show come on. Now I am not sure what has happened. So I figured her husband had disappeared one night long ago...and he just had to see her again. But he had changed so much that she didn't recognize him. But the words of the man at the door will haunt her for weeks now.
Hugging you

I was left wondering. Brian, this had potential to be SCARY! Instead, I am left wondering where is her husband?! Home? Was it him? another man acting like him? Hmmmm... You got me.

- Mrsupole said...
You know I love a good cliffhanger. My guess is she died on her way home and her husband was putting the rose on her casket and since she had just left work before the car accident those were what her last memories were about. Just so many ways this one could go. Great story.
God bless. - May 16, 2010 at 8:53 AM

It sounds as if his spirit has left or is ready to leave and he has come to say good bye. Sad how we don't recognize or intuit those good byes before dying.

She says "that's what my husband calls me" in the present tense, so maybe the old man was looking for someone else.

Amazing writing! You really know how to craft incredible plots and characters into such short stories. Are you thinking about writing a novel any time in the future?

We used it for Atlanta last summer and it was great! I tell all my friends to use CityPass for the destinations that have it. You save money and piece of mind by using them. I wished we would have used them a lot sooner.
