Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley said Monday that she is widening her investigation of a failed investment at the MBTA pension fund, and she urged its board to adopt more stringent ethical standards or face legislation to overhaul its rules.
The stepped-up pressure from Coakley follows a Boston Globe report last week that the MBTA Retirement Fund was sold a $25 million investment in 2007 by its former executive director, Karl White, less than a year after he left to join a New York hedge fund.
The money is now gone, but the T retirement fund has not reported the loss to members or the public, even though its board has known about it since at least 2011.
Coakley said it is "outrageous'' the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority's retirement board has not applied the same ethical and conflict-of-interest standards and public disclosures that are in place at other pension operations.
"This is a clear warning signal of practices and procedures that are not held to the same standard as our other public pension funds,'' Coakley said. "How many times do we have to learn this lesson?''
Had standard ethics rules applied, White could not have done business with the authority where he used to work for at least a year, and possibly ever, under state rules. If the T retirement board does not voluntarily adopt tougher guidelines, Coakley will ask the Legislature to impose new rules, she said.
The hedge funds run by Fletcher Asset Management are now in bankruptcy, and federal authorities — including the FBI and the Securities and Exchange Commission — are investigating the company and its owner, Alphonse Fletcher Jr.
A spokesman for the $1.6 billion pension fund, Stephen Crawford, declined to comment specifically on Coakley's call for greater transparency at the T. In a statement, he said: "We welcome the Attorney General's assistance in recovering the Trust's funds from Alphonse Fletcher and those that aided and abetted his scheme and willfully cooperate, as we have done to date, with any investigation into the investment.''
Coakley said the hedge fund losses are a red flag that there may be other problems in the retirement board's operations. While she would not elaborate on specifics of the investigation, she said that in cases where her staff identifies a "lack of a protocol,'' the office will probe further to see "if it's an indicator of a greater problem.''
The MBTA pension fund does not hold public meetings or publish minutes of its sessions and is fighting a law the governor signed last summer to make its records public.
The Fletcher funds filed for federal bankruptcy protection in 2012, but there has been no disclosure of that loss to MBTA pensioners or taxpayers, nor is there mention of the troubled investment in the pension fund's annual report. The trustee in the firm's bankruptcy case attributed the failure to a fraud that has "the characteristics of a Ponzi scheme." The MBTA fund has said it is cooperating in those probes.
The T's retirement board is incorporated as a private trust, which effectively makes it exempt from public records law and oversight by the Massachusetts Ethics Commission. The state's highest court upheld those privileges in 1993.
Since then, though, the raft of scandals from Wall Street, such as the Bernard Madoff scheme, has shown that investment funds need to be much more open, Coakley said.
"This needs to change,'' she said. "We're certainly a couple decades wiser.''
The legislation to require the MBTA fund to open its books was sponsored by state Senator William Brownsberger, a Democrat from Belmont. He said subjecting the pension fund to public records law was only a first step in making its operation more transparent.
"There is no moral justification whatsoever for keeping the books of this entity and the records of this entity private,'' Brownsberger said. "There should be further steps taken to open up the meetings of this agency and to subject them to ethics oversight.''
Specifically, Brownsberger said, the MBTA board's proceedings, compensation, contracts, and business dealings should be in the public record.
Crawford, the board's spokesman, said the pension fund is challenging whether the new law violates its private status. "The courts have not yet considered or determined whether or not these private rights are abridged" by the measure, he said.
In addition to the need to keep workers' retirements safe, Coakley said, the public has a strong interest in the health of the pension fund, given that taxpayers contributed nearly $1 billion to the T's operations last year.
If the pension fund were ever to have difficulty paying its liabilities, "We believe that it is likely taxpayers would be on the hook to foot the bill,'' she said.
Crawford disputed that. "The pension fund is fully capable of meeting its obligations to its retirees and beneficiaries,'' he said. "The trust is solely responsible for meeting that responsibility — not the Commonwealth.''

Salmonella Leads Cargill To Recall 36 Million Pounds Of Ground Turkey
When it comes to food recalls, Cargill's decision to pull 36 million pounds of ground turkey from the market is a big one — a really big one.
The food giant's taking the action for turkey produced at a plant in Springdale, Ark., because the meat may be contaminated with a strain of salmonella resistant to multiple antibiotics.
Since March, at least 77 people have fallen ill, including one person who died, in an outbreak of infections with Salmonella Heidelberg, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Government investigators suspected contaminated ground turkey was the culprit, but they've had a hard time pinning down the source. About half the ill people from whom investigators could get detailed information said they'd eaten ground turkey.
Now Cargill is shutting down the Arkansas meat plant while it looks to pinpoint the source of contamination. "It is regrettable that people may have become ill from eating one of our ground turkey products and, for anyone who did, we are truly sorry," Steve Willardsen, president of Cargill's turkey processing business, said in a statement.
You can find an itemized list of the affected products, which have "use or freeze by dates" ranging from Feb. 20 to Aug. 2 or Aug. 23, on the Cargill website here or the USDA's here.
Another way to see if turkey in your refrigerator is subject to the recall is to look at the USDA's inspection mark. The Cargill plant in Arkansas has the establishment number P-963. Later, as the USDA gets more info on where the turkey was sold, it will be posting a list of the stores here.

I suspect at that point you would only have a case if you could show it was hurting you financially. Not that I like it, I don't want to even be associated with that kind of a site. My major problem has been with people copying me to help sell their "antiques" on EBay. I don't want to be associated with thier questionable practices.
At what point does 'scraping' become copywright infringement? It links to the origional source, quotes the source verbatim, and credits the source with the content - so could that ever be considered infringement?

The St. Louis Rams swept the Arizona Cardinals this season in impressive fashion, picking up their first victory over the then undefeated Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football in week 5. That victory in week 5 was a big moment for this young football team as they improved to 3-2 with a resounding win over an undefeated division rival on the national stage. The Rams showed that they could win ugly with a dominating defensive performance, something that would become a recurring theme in the NFC West this season. The offense did just enough to help the defense secure the win as they were only able to muster 242 yards and 12 first downs. The Rams defense absolutely shut down the Cardinals running game in both contests, allowing a total of 119 rushing yards at 2.98 yards per carry. The defensive line really controlled that first game especially as they also collected 9 sacks and forced a fumble to secure the win at the end of the game. The defensive line was less dominant in the second game as the Cardinals offense appeared to be having their way with the Rams in the first half, Janoris Jenkins' pick six in the second quarter was a huge play that kept the Rams in the game. The second pick six that Jenkins had late in the 3rd quarter helped to ice the victory for the Rams. The second game also featured a breakout by Chris Givens as he pulled in 5 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown. Steven Jackson also had an impressive game as he rumbled for 139 yards on 24 carries for 5.8 yards per carry, easily his best game of the season in terms of production. It isn't all good news for the Rams in spite of winning both games by two touchdowns, as the statistics show that the same things that haunted the Rams all season long affected them in these games as well. The first and most important issue that needs to be addressed between now and next season is the teams 3rd down problems, they converted only 28% of third down chances against the Arizona Cardinals this season. Yes the Cardinals had the second best 3rd down defense in the NFL allowing only 32.9% of all chances to be converted, but picking up less than 30% of third downs is going to get you beat in the NFL. On the season the Rams averaged only 32.1% third down conversion which was good enough for 29th in the NFL. The New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons, two teams hosting Championship weekend, averaged 48.7% and 45.1% respectively. Of course the Rams offense will probably improve on 3rd down next season as their young roster becomes more comfortable, and as Sam Bradford plays in the same system for the second season in a row. The second problem that constantly plagued the Rams this season was penalties, as they notched 17 penalties for 144 yards and gave the Cardinals 5 first downs via penalties over the course of their two games. If the Rams want to be a playoff caliber team they will need to cut those penalties down considerably, and preferably reduce them by 50% to be able to beat other playoff level teams. I am sure that fixing the penalty issues is going to be a priority for the Rams at the start of next season, and for the most part the are correctable penalties. Jeff Fisher's teams have always played with an edge, and because of that have had a tendency to pickup personal foul penalties in the process, but the types of penalties that the Rams were picking up in bunches this season were of the pre-snap (a.k.a mental error) type of penalty which is something Fisher will work hard to address. The Rams front office has their work cut out for them this offseason keeping pace with the teams in the division, at the start of this season I would have guessed the Rams were 2 years behind the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks in their rebuilding effort. After this season I would say if they have similar success in the draft and the offseason they could be challenging for the NFC West crown in 2013, after coming up one fumble recovery short of going undefeated in the NFC West the Rams and their fans have to feel good about the future in St. Louis.

The two pre-lit garlands look great and I am looking forward to seeing them in action a bit nearer to Christmas.
As this is a personal alarm intended to alert someone to a mishap in my garden or home, I am hoping never to have to activate it. It is however a comfort to have it and on trial the sound is certainly alarming and would no doubt alert someone to a problem.

5/30/2008 Showrunner Announces Changing of the Guard for 'Doctor Who' in 2010
Just as time is the medium of choice for David Tennants character as the Time Lord in BBC/SCI FIs Doctor Who, a vision of the adventure-filled series future has prompted current executive producer/head writer Russell T. Davies to announce he is passing on the torch. Come 2010, when Doctor Who leaps into its fifth season, Steven Moffat will step in to run the show. Davies, credited as the force that effectively resuscitated and revived the sci-fi series in 2005, has decided to step down after 2009, in what hes suggested is in the best interest of the show.

8/1/2008 'Doctor Who' Finale Airs Tonight
The Doctor Who reboot on the Sci-Fi channel wraps up its fourth season tonight at 7:30pm and, if spoilers are to be believed, this finale entitled Journeys End does a good job of bringing closure not just to this season but to the past three as well (as some described it, seasons 1 to 4 is one gigantic season).In Journeys End, the Daleks are able to activate their master plan, which, of course, endangers the rest of the universe. The only thing that can prevent such from happening is if the Doctors secret army of companions join the battle. Theres a catch: a prophecy says one of them will die. Now the question is who.

Approach found that tricyclic antidepressants may be effective for small cell lung cancer
FRIDAY, Sept. 27 (HealthDay News) -- Bioinformatics-based drug approaches have identified U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs and a novel class of molecules that can be repurposed to treat patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC), according to research published online Sept. 26 in Cancer Discovery.
Nadine S. Jahchan, Ph.D., from Stanford University in California, and colleagues used a systematic drug repositioning bioinformatics approach querying a large compendium of gene expression profiles to identify candidate FDA-approved drugs to treat SCLC.
The researchers found that tricyclic antidepressants and related molecules potently induced apoptosis in both chemonaive and chemoresistant SCLC cells in culture, in mouse and human SCLC tumors transplanted into immunocompromised mice, and in endogenous tumors from a mouse model for human SCLC. Stress pathways were activated by the candidate drugs to induce cell death in SCLC cells, at least in part by disrupting autocrine survival signals involving neurotransmitters and their G protein-coupled receptors. Growth of other neuroendocrine tumors was inhibited by the candidate drugs, including pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors and Merkel cell carcinoma.
"These experiments identify novel targeted strategies that can be rapidly evaluated in patients with neuroendocrine tumors through the repurposing of approved drugs," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to NuMedii, the developer of these drugs, and are named on patents for the use of specific tricyclic antidepressants in neuroendocrine tumors.

Sour Cream Babka
Becky Luigart-Stayner; Melanie J. Clarke
Russian immigrants gloried in Easter babkas - enriched yeast breads studded with dried fruits and nuts. For a more traditional babka, omit the amaretto and use dried sour cherries and candied cherries in place of cranberries and raisins.

- Dough:
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 tablespoon amaretto (almond-flavored liqueur)
- 1 cup evaporated fat-free milk
- 1 (8-ounce) carton low-fat sour cream
- 1 package dry yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup warm water (100° to 110°)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 cups all-purpose flour, divided
- Cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup golden raisins
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds
- Icing:
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup evaporated fat-free milk
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- To prepare dough, combine cranberries and amaretto in a small bowl; set aside. Heat milk over medium-high heat in a small, heavy saucepan to 180° or until tiny bubbles form around edge (do not boil). Remove from heat; stir in sour cream. Cool to room temperature.
- Dissolve yeast in warm water, and let stand 5 minutes. Place 1/2 cup granulated sugar, eggs, and egg yolks in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until thick and pale (about 2 minutes). Add milk mixture, yeast mixture, 1 teaspoon almond extract, and salt; beat until well blended.
- Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 5 1/2 cups flour to egg mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel tacky).
- Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85°), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.) Punch dough down; cover and let rest 10 minutes.
- Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray; dust with 1 tablespoon granulated sugar. Knead cranberry mixture, raisins, and almonds into dough. With floured hands, pat dough into an 8-inch circle. Form a 2-inch hole in center of dough; place dough in prepared pan, allowing center of Bundt pan to emerge through hole in dough. Gently press the dough into pan. Lightly coat top of dough with cooking spray; cover and let rise 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Uncover dough. Bake at 350° for 45 minutes or until loaf is browned and sounds hollow when tapped. Cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack.
- To prepare icing, combine powdered sugar, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract, stirring with a whisk. Remove babka from pan, and place on a serving platter. Drizzle with icing; cool completely.

High school science typically consists of two or three years of required credits along with additional offered electives. Two of these credits usually require a laboratory component. Following is an overview of suggested required courses along with electives one might find at a typical high school.
Sample High School Science Plan of Study
Year One - Physical ScienceThe Physical Science course covers the natural sciences and non-living systems. This is a survey course providing students with a basic understanding of key physical science concepts. Students focus on learning overall concepts and theories to help them understand and explain aspects of nature. Across the nations, different states have different opinions on what should be included in physical science. Some include astronomy and earth science while others focus on physics and chemistry. This sample Physical Science course is integrated and includes basic principles in:
- Physics
- Chemistry
- Earth Science
- Astronomy
Year Two - Biology
The Biology course studies living organisms and their interactions with each other and the environment. The course provides the students with laboratories designed to help them understand the nature of living organisms along with their similarities and differences. Topics covered include:
- Cellular Biology
- Life Cycle
- Genetics
- Evolution
- Classification
- Organisms
- Animals
- Plants
- Ecosystems
AP Biology often Biology even though the college board suggests that this be taken after one year of biology and one year of chemistry. This is the equivalent of a first year college introductory biology course. Some students choose to double up on science and take this their third year or as an elective in their senior year.
Year Three - Chemistry
The Chemistry course studies matter, atomic theory, chemical reactions and interactions, and the laws that govern the study of chemistry. The course includes laboratories that are designed to reinforce these major concepts. Topics covered include:
- Matter
- Atomic Structure
- The Periodic Table
- Ionic and Covalent Bonding
- Chemical Reactions
- Kinetic Theory
- Gas Laws
- Solutions
- Chemical Kinetics
- Acids, Bases, and Salts
Year Four - Electives
Typically students take their science elective in their senior year. Following are a sampling of typical science electives offered in high schools.
Physics or AP Physics
Physics is the study of the interactions between matter and energy. Students who have doubled up in previous years and taken basic physics might choose to take AP Physics their senior year.
Chemistry II or AP Chemistry
Students who have taken their first year of chemistry might continue with Chem II or AP Chemistry. This course continues and expands on the topics taught in Chemistry I.
Marine Science
Marine Science is the study of the marine environment including the ecology of the seas and the diversity of marine organisms and ecosystems.
Many schools do not offer courses in astronomy. However, the study of astronomy is fascinating and a welcome addition as a science elective. Astronomy includes the study of the planets, the stars, the sun, and other astronomical structures.
Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy and Physiology is the study of the structures and functions of the human body. Students learn about the skeletal, muscular, endocrine, nervous, and other systems in the body.
Environmental Science
Environmental Science is the study of the interaction between humans and the living and non-living environment around them. Students learn about the effects of human interaction including deforestation, pollution, habitat destruction, and issues surrounding the management of the Earth's water resources.

Harry Redknapp: 'I was the victim of politics'
HARRY REDKNAPP insists Tottenham axed him for political NOT football reasons.
I've got no axe to grind with Andre Villas-Boas. Somebody had to take the job, so why shouldn't he have it?
QPR boss Redknapp said: "I've got my own feelings about what happened, but it's difficult for me to say.
"No (it was not my record). Yeah, yeah, it was political."
Redknapp says he is unlikely to ask why Spurs sacked him, but added: "I went to see him (chairman Daniel Levy) about signing a new contract and that was it. Yeah, it ended with me leaving.
"I was all right. I said, 'let's go out and play golf'. And I played all right. That's life, isn't it?"
Spurs were bottom when Redknapp took over but transformed into one of England's top sides by the time his four-year reign came to an abrupt halt.
Two fourth-placed finishes and a thrilling run to the Champions League last-eight guaranteed his place in Spurs folklore.
Redknapp insists his sense of perspective stops him getting hung up over how it ended at White Hart Lane.
And the former West Ham coach insists he has no scores to settle with anyone at Spurs – including his eventual successor Andre Villas-Boas.
Redknapp, who was also cleared of tax evasion in court last year and missed out on the England job, despite appearing to be the favourite, added: "There were more important things happening in my life last year than that.
"And I know it sounds corny, but there are things happening in life… there are people with little kids with leukaemia and this is nothing.
"What's happened to me? I had four great years there and got very well paid. I've now come to QPR. I don't get so well paid, but I'm here, involved in football."
Redknapp said the first person who rang to wish him all the best at QPR was Levy. And he said he has nothing against Villas-Boas.
Redknapp added: "He seems a nice guy, but I don't know him. I've got no axe to grind with him. Somebody had to take the job, so why shouldn't he have it?"
Make no mistake, though, victory against his former employers would certainly be sweet for Redknapp.
He added: "I don't jump around too much anyway. But I would celebrate, yeah. I wouldn't be sitting there moping.
"I read about people not celebrating against their old clubs, but it is strange, really."

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone might give me advice about a possible foot valve failure and what the symptoms might be.
It's been 2 years now since this trouble began.
It all started with my well pump short cycling one night. It just pressurized the system and when satisfied, the pump would shut right down, only to turn on again to re-pressurize the system.
But then air was being introduced into my system as well and when the faucets or shower were turned on, I got a ton of air coming out like someone had installed an air compressor in the system. Curious, I removed the concrete cover from the well but found no source of the the air infiltration. The well was full of water to a point where the pump was not visible, and the riser pipe was not leaking.
So where is this air coming from? Is it coming from a break in the line somewhere under ground? Or is the foot valve not closing, allowing a vacuum condition to occur causing air to be sucked out of the water?
In an effort to save the pump from certain doom, I installed a Check Valve under the house before the expansion tank and pressure switch. That stopped the short cycling problem but I still have all this air in the lines.
Will a bad Foot Valve cause all this air introduction?
I will say that I love all the effervescent water, but not all the time. After 2 years of this, it's time for a permanent repair.
Pull the pipe and replace the foot valve and pipe. Maybe you have an air adding device on that drop pipe from a previous plain steel tank. Or maybe you have a plain steel tank - no bladder or tire valve on top- and the air RELEASE valve is defective.
Plain tank; leave the air add valves and replace or add the air release valve on the side of the tank. Bladder tank; remove an air maker devices on the drop pipe.
Bad foot valve can cause air introduction, but only if there is an inlet point - leak in the drop line or a plain tanks air add valve.

With the release of Leopard, Apple added raw support for a number of new cameras, leaving Tiger-based Aperture users wondering if they would be forced to upgrade to the new operating system in order to gain support for the new formats.
Fortunately, the answer to that question is a resounding "no!" thanks to Apple's 10.4.11 update, now available via Software Update. In addition to a number of OS level bug fixes, the update provides support for the following cameras: Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ50, Leica V-Lux 1, Olympus E-400, Olympus EVOLT E410, Olympus EVOLT E510, and the Canon EOS 40D.
As an Aperture user, is there any reason at this point that you should be hesitant to upgrade to Leopard? Not really, though if you rely a lot on external Firewire drives, you might want to test them with a Leopard system before making the switch. I've found that some of my drives aren't showing up in Leopard - something that happens from time to time with Apple updates. Usually, an OS update soon follows to fix the problem.

Thanks for the link. Just to share my experience - I have used BrowserShots for years which I find good, especially for free. Adobe BrowserLab is also very good but won't be free for long.
Actually these days I am so used to dealing with cross browser issues that I know what to be careful of and what to avoid. So I just have a windows pc with all of the common browsers installed (including a virtual machine running ie6) and do testing locally. I find that this sort of testing allows me to iron out most issues and saves me from trawling through every combination or operating system and browser.
Browsers are all different so i'm not too worried about getting a site looking identical in all of them, I just want to make sure I catch all of the major issues. I can live with slight differences and it seems so can my clients.

Could people who have this case give their reviews here?
How do you like it? It fits in the dock, doesn't it? Etc...

Sent from my Droid using DroidForums
I think the case itself is fine, but unnecessarily bulky if you don't use the extended battery. It fits in the standard dock okay. Some claim it fits in the car/navigation dock too, while others (like me) say it doesn't - at least not without applying enough force that it concerns me. Regardless of the docks fitting or not, I find that the shell slides out of the holster too easily. It won't fall out if simply held upside down, but it's too easy for my comfort.
Anyone try the Qmadix shell/holster with the extended battery yet?
I got it with the extended battery. It fits in the regular dock fine, just have to remove the plastic insert in the dock. I like it and the kickstand is quite nice I do wish it covered the top and bottom edges though. I use both with the holster and without in my pocket.
I just found a thread where someone was saying it was extra hard and awkward to release. Maybe yours is defective or something? I am on my OG now, so I'll try to find that link when I'm at the computer.
I hope more people post their experiences with it here.

I have this case/holster. I liked it very much, however I'm a grandmother and sometimes little people try to be helpful and bring me my phone. I just didn't think there was quite enough protection around the edges of the screen, so I got the incipio case for now. I will tell you this though, my husband had this case/holster combo on his charge. A couple of Weeks ago while he was mowing the whole kit and caboodle came off (vibrated right off I think) and he ran over it with the tractor mower. He found the phone in one place and the holster a few feet away. The only damage suffered was a bent clip on the holster. No damage whatsoever to the phone, not even a scratch. So it truly is durable.

From another thread... Kickstand works great when charging now that I have the stock Deskclock app (w/weather) installed, I have no need for the dock.... and I cannot for the life of me understand how some are saying that the case slides out of the holster easily!....I tried pretty vigorously to shake it out and could not. I mean I guess it could slide out if you're suspended upsidedown on a bungee cord and dropped of the Grand Canyon...lmao
I don't think it would come out by just shaking the holster. Under normal use I would place my thumb against the top edge of the holster, then push up with my fingers on the bottom of the phone. I had a couple instances where I leaned or turned, causing something next to me to push on the phone, pushing it past the point where it's normally retained by the upper lip on the holster. At this point, the phone could easily slide out because it's no longer completely in the holster.
I have this case. Very nice design with just some crisscrossing raised black lines across the back. The case really makes mt phone feel solid an the holster functionis great. MY phone doesnt slide out yet i only need to apply a little pressure to slip it out an into my hand. I wear it on my belt or sometimes clip it on the edge of my shorts on the pocket. Very nice weight to it an sturdy. I feel this can stop dents an scratches from occurring on the phone.
Things that i don't like are as follows. The clip on the holster is to plasticy i feel it could snap under pressure. Also the kick stand is a little trick to get out for my liking. You need nails, an i clip mine regularly lol
So enclosing i feel this case is excellent for protecting you Bionic. Only the clip an kickstand slightly bother me.

There are several organisations hoping that you will give them your old clothes; the traditional way of giving them to the charity shop seeming to be replaced with companies which sell them on to make a profit. Several shops have sprung up in my town offering you cash for your old clothes. The one I chose to sell to was we-pay, an organisation with shops all over central Scotland. I had a lot of old clothes which I needed to sort through; the good stuff I intend to sell on Ebay and it was only clothes with no real value which I packaged up.

Negative Experience
Average Interview
The process took a day - interviewed at Knight Capital in December 2011.
Interview Details – Went on this interview through a recruiter. I arrived 10 minutes prior, asked for the hiring manager who they seem to have trouble reaching. Finally they told me to take the elevator up arrived at the IT but door was locked. Someone was nice enough to let me in. No sign of hiring manager. 5 minutes later, he comes and gets me. It did not seem like they interview people much since they did not have a conference room or office available to interview. We finally ended up in an office that was like Arizona in the middle of the Summer. The hiring manager asked about experience and asked some technical questions. From the questions, it was clear that they were using J2EE circa 2001... going from JSP/Servlets to Struts 1.x. From there is was clear this job not for me. A lead developer came in looking sloppy, miserable and gave me a dead fish handshake. This was my first interview in quite some time and used it to bone up on interviewing skills otherwise would have walked out.

@Habtom I like to remain agnostic towards Twitter on the whole. But it seems to me that those on Twitter who follow others regardless of how much boring trivia they churn out are rather like those who will go out to a disco and then throw themselves around to whatever Tiesto or Trentemoller mix the DJ lines up next, regardless of whether they actually like it or not (perhaps in the hope that the next mix will be better?) This is no good at all. Empty floors educate DJs. Sparse followings educate Twitterers. At least we can hope so. If you stop following Trivia Tim because his noise-to-signal ratio is too high and if everyone else does the same one of three things will happen: 1) Trivia Tim will give up on Twitter: nobody wins and nobody loses. Of course this all requires people to pro-actively prune their Twitter follow-lists... and I suspect that the path-of-least-resistant aspect of human nature will see that as "too much trouble."
@JS_Harris Hadn't thought of that, but it might be a factor.
2) Trivia Tim will persist with Twitter but no-one's listening: everyone wins except poor Tim, wasting his time tweeting into the ether, who loses.
3) Trivia Tim will be perceptive to the implicit feedback from his ex-followers and his signal-to-noise ratio will improve: everybody wins.

ShoppingMonday, March 3, 2014
Off to LondonI'm traveling this week, picking up new colourful and flavourful things to review in the coming weeks. Do you have a British favorite that I haven't reviewed yet? POSTED BY Cybele AT 12:30 am Candy • CANDY BLOG • United Kingdom • Highlight • Shopping • Comments (21) Monday, December 16, 2013
Sugarfina Beverly Hills & Trio of GoodiesA few weeks ago I went to the preview opening of the brick & mortar store for Sugarfina. (More photos here on la.eater.) The evening included tastings of a half a dozen of their favorite candies and of course I got to meet one of the co-owners, Rosie, whom I've been corresponding with via email for about a year. Sugarfina opened earlier this year as a webstore, selling a carefully curated selection of candies from around the world. Many of the gummis are made with all natural flavors & colors and come in extraordinary flavor combinations and shapes. The chocolates are a mix of whimsy and sophistication, with an array of malted milk balls, caramels and cordials. Sugarfina displays morsels, everything in the shop is morselized, easy for hand-to-mouth sampling and when you're not eating it, it's fun to look at. While browsing the store, if you didn't know it was candy, everything could easily be mistaken for beads or buttons. Guest were treated to a $10 gift certificate, which I put to good use right away. I even had a shopping list before I got there so I wouldn't be distracted. I chose to create my own bento box. It's a sleeve with three slots. It's exceptionally well designed. The robin's egg blue and white design is carried through the store and packaging. The inside of the box has blue scalloped concentric circles on white, as does the tissue in the bag it was placed in. The box itself is $4, which isn't bad when you consider it doesn't need wrapping and is durable & reusable. The cubes that fit in there were either $7 or $8. The other change from my previous Sugarfina sampling is that the boxes for the candy have changed. They were a polyester soft plastic, which were not really that secure (hard to keep closed once you took the clear plastic stickers off). The new boxes are acrylic and after you take the labels off, they're also reusable. They're airtight, so any leftover candy keeps far longer. One of the things that got me to actually go over to Beverly Hills after work was the fact that one of the new products is an Italian fruit gumdrop mix called Citrus and Berry Fruttini. They're little pâte de fruit, coated in crunchy sugar. The berry is a Wild Blueberry. They're mild and sweet with a dark raspberry jam flavor and then that hint of black tea that I often taste in blueberries. The yellow is Italian Lemon made from femminello lemons. I've never had a fresh femminello lemon before, but I've had limoncello, which is a sweet lemon liqueur that uses the peels. These are quite zesty and reminded me of Meyer lemons. It's tart, it has a great balance between the sweetness and the oily flavors of the lemon oils. The orange is Blood Orange. This one was definitely orange, but lacking the zesty notes that the lemon had. If I were to pick these up again, I'd go with the all Lemon selection, which they sell separately. There's also a Wild Strawberry which I didn't get to try. Rating: 8 out of 10 I am quite fond of candies citrus zest, but the Aphrodite Kumquat goes far above and beyond that humble confection. At the heart (sorry it's not better depicted) there is a whole kumquat. It's about the size of a small olive and completely candied. Unlike regular orange peels, the rind of a kumquat is pretty thin but when you eat the whole thing, you're also getting the pulp inside. So there's a juicy, tangy orange syrup at the center, along with the very strong clementine-like peel around it. Then it's covered in a thin layer of chocolate. That chocolate is infused with the orangey oils and then the whole thing is encased in a beautifully treated apricot-colored sugar shell. One is more than enough. They're quite intense, the strength of the citrus oils are enough to leave my tongue burning for several hours. Sure, there are only eight of them in the box, but how could anyone eat more than two in a day? Rating: 8 out of 10 The Chocolate Sparkles are also Greek and another special find. They're like the smooth and flat little rocks you might pick up on the beach: except they're an exceptionally unnatural shimmery blue. The candy shell is thick, like a Jordan almond so there's a lot of crunch. The dark chocolate center is smooth and creamy with an excellent silky melt and deep cocoa flavors. Unlike many dark chocolate lentils, these truly are made with dark chocolate that has no additional milk or dairy fat in it. (Though there may be traces of milk, wheat or nuts as they're processed on shared equipment.) Rating: 8 out of 10 These also came in yellow and pink, also with the shimmery finish. I don't see them on the website, but they were definitely for sale in the store. The prices are, well, Beverly Hills. However, unlike someplace like Dylan's Candy Bar, where you portion out your generic candy into generic bags for $12.99 a pound, many of those products can be purchased at the drug store for a fraction of the price. Sugarfina's per pound price point is more, about $25.00 per pound, but about 40% of Sugarfina's candy can't be purchased anywhere else in the United States and is far better quality than the drug store fare at most pick a mix candy stores. $25.00 per pound isn't out of range for the chocolate items, but it is steep for sugar candy, even if it's all natural. Even though they don't scoop by the pound, if you stop in the store, they do have little 1 ounce packets you can buy of many of the items to sample or just have a little treat. In true SoCal fashion they also offer a candy concierge. It's hard to rationalize it as an everyday candy shop (like I seem to treat See's now that they're walking distance from me), but the decadent packaging and precious treatment of the candy elevates it all to a different level. It's not snacking, it's sampling. It's for grown ups. Sugarfina Related Candies

Candy Spotting: Christmas 2013I've been prowling the store shelves since October to see what's back this year in seasonal favorites and what might be new. I've been pretty excited so see so many old favorites returning plus a few new additions. The flavor combinations of pumpkin spice, peppermint bark and gingerbread continue strong showings with a few egg nog and chili pepper items out there, too. This is by no means a definitive list, but I've tried to actually find the announced products in stores before adding them to my list. Hershey's • Twizzlers Tree Shaped Cherry Candy (new) Just Born • Peeps Chocolate Covered Peppermint Trees (Milk & Dark Chocolate) Nestle • Wonka Gobstoppers Snowballs Mars & Wrigley's • Life Savers Tin - holds 7 rolls of three different varieties - comes in Butter Rum, Cherry or 5 Flavor package design Ferrara Candy (Ferrara Pan, Farley's & Sathers + Brach's) • Brach's Christmas Nougats in Peppermint & Wintergreen and Cinnamon (review) Tootsie • Tootsie Roll Candy Cane Pop Drops (review) Russell Stover • Ribbon Candy (I suspect this is just a repackage of Sevigny's) Cadbury/Adams • Swedish Fish (red & green) in bags or theater boxes Ghirardelli Chocolate • Ghirardelli Hollow Chocolate Nutcracker Other Items of Interest • Giant Toblerone Bars What are you looking forward to most? And what are you having trouble finding this year? What did I leave out? Tuesday, December 3, 2013
Candy Spotting: Giant Candy GiftsIt's not a particularly new development to see giant versions of classic candies on shelves, but I have seen more than usual lately. Here's a rundown of what's available these days: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (review) Giant York Peppermint Patties (review) Hershey's 1 Pound Bar World's Largest Hershey Bar Snickers Slice n Share (review) Toblerone 14 ounces Mike and Ike and Hot Tamales Giant Box A better value when it comes to these is really the vending packages, which are 5 pounds, about the size of an airplane pillow and cost less, they're usually available at places like Smart & Final or on the web. (Amazon link.) Nestle Crunch 1 Pound Bar Russell Stover 2 Giant Bars S'Mores (review of regular size) Russell Stover 2 Giant Bars Pecan Delight (review of regular size) RM Palmer Giant 1/4 Peanut Butter Cup (review) Giant Tootsie Pop Giant versions of standard candies are rarely better than the originals. They're a novelty and play off the notion that more is better. But mostly more is fun, more is sharing and more is delightful. If someone doesn't like the standard version, they're unlikely to enjoy the giant, so choose carefully. But the good news is that these are rather inexpensive and make a fun item for a child to give to an adult in their life. Have you seen any other giant versions of candies for the holidays?

Halloween Candy Spotting 2013When a candy season comes around, I take special interest in what's new, what's returning and trends on the store shelves with holiday candy. Here's the 2013 Halloween shopping roundup. Last week I was invited to participate in the Nosh Show podcast, we're talking about candy and a bit about Halloween candy. You can listen to the Nosh Show:
HERSHEY'S MARS NECCO FERRARA CANDY (Includes FARLEY'S & SATHERS and BRACH'S) That aside, Brach's seems to be their only brand with seasonal candies, though Lemonheads and Trolli Gummis are available in treating packaging.

Sugarfina: The GummisSugarfina is a new candy webstore with a unique set of offerings. Based in Southern California, Sugarfina brings a chic aesthetic to all their candy with their minimalist packaging in robin's egg blue and square formats. The candy is sold in "bulk" that is, it's repackaged by them and sold in an array of different weights. They have created a superb curated list of candies. Some you'll recognize, but their biggest selling point is an array of exquisite European candies that I've never seen sold anywhere else. Candy is sold in little boxes of different weights or in mixed boxes (they call Bentos) that make excellent gifts. Their team truly understand that candy should appeal first to the eye and then to the rest of the senses. I still get plenty of offers for free candy samples, but lately it has to be something pretty special to get me to bite. But when you see this list of candies, you'll see what got me interested. Today I'm presenting the assortment of gummis (and one jelly candy). All of the gummis are from Germany and most feature natural colors. Bitty Berries is a mix of three different gummis. There's a large raspberry looking gummi that has a rather raspberry flavor. Then there are three smaller berries, kind of like petite blueberries that are different colors and flavors. The light amber ones are like a white grape juice flavor, lightly tangy but with a black currant note to them. The pink version is and the purple is like a jammy raspberry. Blueberry, Raspberry, Blackberry, Cranberry and Bilberry. They're just exquisitely beautiful. Even when I wasn't interested in eating them, they were just too cute to look at. Rating: 8 out of 10 Champagne Bears come in two colors: a soft peachy pink and a lightly yellow clear. The clear is like a clean apple juice flavor with a light peppery note. The peachy one is, well, much the same. I couldn't really tell them apart except that sometimes the pink one seemed to be a little more raspberry flavored. They're firm and intense. They're well formed and held their shape well, even though they were jammed into their little cube. I liked them, but didn't think that they were anything better than the new juicy Haribo. But I do like the colors and think that for a special occasion, they'd be a nice favor. Rating: 8 out of 10 Sugar Peach Sweethearts - I was pretty scared of these. They smelled strongly of peach, not in a bad way but in a strong way. They were so strong that I had to take them out of the bento box and sequester them by themselves so as not to contaminate the chocolate pieces they were co-mingling with. So I was afraid that they'd be overwhelmingly chemical tasting. Quite the opposite is true. They're little miracle pieces, on the tongue they actual feel for a moment like a real peach. The texture of the sugar sanding is velvety like the fuzz of the peach. The flavor is at once tangy and fruity and honey-sweet and floral and woodsy, like actual peaches. There's no weird artificial coloring in there to give it a metallic aftertaste. They're a bit more tart that I'd probably like if I were to eat them by the handful, but as a little refresher on a hot day when I have a dry mouth, these are unbeatable. Rating: 10 out of 10 Queen of Hearts were billed on the website as three different flavors: pineapple, grapefruit and black currant. They're also three different sizes of hearts. So it's a lovely looking combination, although the largest heard gets folded over a bit inside the little cube. Pink was indistinct, but reminded me enough of pineapple to make me think that's what it was. Slightly floral with a tart bite and a crisp flavor to it. It was more like canned pineapple though not as syrupy. Clear tastes like peach. I'm not sure what flavor it was supposed to be, I was hoping it was the promised grapefruit, but it was tangy and a little peppery. (I did notice that the peach mentioned earlier were very strong, I was wondering if the flavor migrated from the more delicate grapefruit.) The dark one was definitely black currant. It was strong and had notes of wine and deep boiled cherry. Rating: 7 out of 10 Cuba Libre is simply amazing. It's a cola gummi, so far so good, with a little softer bubble of rum within. It's stunning. The cola flavor is spicy and tart, a mix of nutmeg, cinnamon and perhaps a little warm kick of ginger but nothing overt and then the acidic bite of lemon. The rum is sweet and a little on the caramel side. I've never seen these anywhere else, and I can't believe they aren't being imported and sold in the US by the cargo container as it is. If there's a reason to order from Sugarfina, it's the Cuba Libre gummi. Rating: 10 out of 10 Minty Polar Bears are downright weird and I'll go ahead and warn you that they're not mint. They're like a bubble gum flavored mentholated chewy cough drop. The first note on the tongue is a little tartness then a huge whiff of what I can only describe as acetone (which I sometimes get confused with banana flavoring). Then there's a menthol hit, a little more of a sort of mild lime flavor and the bitterness of that zest. It all ends with a slight queasy feeling. I've had eucalyptus gummis before and liked them quite a bit, so I was hoping for something like that. I find them curious enough that I continue to sample them from time to time. But I never feel like I want to eat another one, just that I should. Rating: 6 out of 10 Heavenly Sours are little stars, comets and crescent moons in fruity flavors. They're sour sanded and come in lovely naturally tinted colors. They're not actually gummis, they're jellies. They're made in the US, not in Germany like most of the other gummis from Sugarfina. They're tart and have nicely distinguished flavors. Orange is a zesty and tart orange. Lemon is wonderfully sour. Blue is raspberry and a little overdone. Red is cherry and is, well, cherry. Rating: 7 out of 10 As a thank you gift or something for someone who has everything, this is a great option. It's not cheap, so it's not something I'm likely to treat myself to very often. They also have lots of themed boxes and kits, so it's easy to pick for Coffee Lovers, Licorice Aficionados, or Caramel Fiends. The large bento boxes with 8 x 4 ounce boxes of treats are $50. By the pound, the candy is $17.50. They do a good job of labeling for allergies as well, even if they won't tell me who make those Cuba Libre gummis.They're currently only available via the web, but there's talk of a store in the future here on the west side of Los Angeles.

Easter Candy Spotting 2013Easter is that special time when seasonal favorites return to the shelves. It's our last candy holiday before the long hot summer, so stock up while you can. I've been visiting the stores to look at what's returned on stores shelves and of course seeking out new items. Here's a rundown of what I've spotted or heard that other readers have seen again at stores this year. Let me know if there's something I missed, or something you're looking for. Hershey's Nestle Wonka (part of Nestle) Mars Wrigley's (part of Mars) Ghirardelli Cadbury Adams (part of Kraft) Ferrara Candy (now includes Brach's, Trolli & Ferrara Pan) Russell Stover Individually Wrapped in Bags: Caramel Eggs, Marshmallow Eggs, Coconut Cream Eggs Tootsie Just Born Also: You can prowl back into the review archive of Easter candy by viewing all the candies tagged for Easter.

Trader Joe's Holiday Roundup 2012Every year I look forward to the post-Halloween emergence of holiday sweets at Trader Joe's. There's always a bit of a European flair to their selections, with an eye toward traditional confections with the occasional new age/artisanal candy. This year I perused three different stores in two counties to see what the offerings are this year. Here's my roundup of what you might be able to find at Trader Joe's to satisfy your (or a gift recipient's) sweet tooth. (I may have missed something, so please chime in with your observations or reviews.) New for 2012: Trader Joe's Sea Salt Butterscotch Caramels $3.49 - little nuggets of caramel covered in rich chocolate and more than a hint of sea salt. Gourmet Milk Duds. I picked these up (I'm not sure if they're seasonal or not) and plan to review them, so you'll probably be seeing that photo again. Fruit and Nut Log $3.99 - a nougat center, covered in pistachios and pecans along with dried cranberries and apricots. Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Caramallows $2.99 - a layer of marshmallow on top of caramel, covered in dark chocolate. It's no See's Scotchmallow, but I suppose it will do in a pinch. Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Salted Caramel Truffles $3.99 - I reviewed these already, and though they're fun, they're not quite as good as some other seasonal items. (See review - 7 out of 10) Trader Joe's Organic Peppermint Starlights $1.99 - yup, organic hard candies. Great if you're looking for something corn syrup-free. Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Candy Cane Truffles $3.99 - kind of like individually wrapped Frangoes, as far as I can tell. Returning Favorites for 2012 Trader Joe's Fleur de Sel Caramels (wood box) $6.99 (2006 review, still the same packaging. Classic, nicely done but a little pricey for boiled sugar. 7 out of 10) Trader Joe's Cranberry Caramel Delights $7.99 - these were called Trader Joe's Merry Mingle last year - caramel with pecans and cranberries dipped in dark chocolate (read review - 8 out of 10) Trader Joe's Brandy Beans $2.99 - these have been coming back on and off for years, they tend to sell out really early. Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate & Dark Chocolate Oranges $2.99 - the price went up 50 cents (Reviewed in 2009 as Florida Tropic Oranges. Good quality & price plus always charming package and dark is vegan 7 out of 10 & 8 out of 10) Trader Joe's Belgian Chocolate Shoppe $9.99 - I don't have great luck with these, but they're a nice hostess gift if you can't get to See's. Trader Joe's Cocoa Truffles $2.99 - inexcusable fat bombs imported from France. (see my review - I gave them a 3 out of 10, though I think the ingredients have changed a little bit, they're still quite thin tasting yet stupidly fatty) Trader Joe's Chocolate Liqueur Cherries $5.99 - the price is up on this one, I recall they were $4.99 last year. But dried cherries are insanely expensive, so perhaps their ingredient cost went up. Trader Joe's Peppermint Bark $9.99 a tin - a great bargain for a very well made product. Trader Joe's English Toffee with Nuts (Tall Can) $7.99 (previously in a box like this? It'd call it a step above Almond Roca) Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups $.99 - I have a serious problem with these (review from last year). When they're not sold individually wrapped, they're in tubs. Trader Joe's Chocolate Rings with Sprinkle - they're just little disks of dark chocolate with sprinkles, like giant SnoCaps - $1.99 Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Cashew Brittle with Sea Salt $2.99 Trader Joe's Candy Cane Coal - dark chocolate covered candy cane bits - $1.99 Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels $4.99 (2007 review - more of a flowing caramel than the chewy style of the Fleur de Sel - 6 out of 10) Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate Minty Mallows $2.99 (2010 review - they're quite moist and dense 7 out of 10) Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate After Dinner Mint Thins $2.99 (made in England) - they're better than After Eight mints. Also returning are the chocolate covered Peppermint JoJos and a variety box of other chocolate covered flavored Jo Jos. Though I reviewed the JoJo's before, I can't really call them candy. Not Returning (unless you've sighted them): Trader Joe's Classic Holiday Candy Mix - classic hard candy straws & pillows made with all natural ingredients. $1.99 (read review - 7 out of 10) Trader Joe's Eggnog Almonds - $3.99 (read review - 9 out of 10) These are made by Marich and I did see them at Sprouts in the bulk aisle labeled as Nutmeg White Chocolate Almonds. Trader Joe's Minty Melts - it's peppermint bark for people who don't like the crushed candy canes in it - $4.99 (read review - 7 out of 10) What have you picked up that you liked this year? What do you miss from years gone by? I miss the Trader Giotto's Soft Almond Nougat and the Dark Chocolate Covered Gingersnaps. |
Meticulously photographed and documented reviews of candy from around the world. And the occasional other sweet adventures. Open your mouth, expand your mind.

My daughter, Arielle Hope, was born via successful VBAC on 11/19/12. She was 11 days early, but tied my older daughter in birth weight. My water broke about 23 hours before active labor started, but from first contraction to birth, it took 7 hours! It was amazing to be the first one to hold her. I spiked a fever in labor so she spent some time in the hospital NICU, but things have been great once we got home. She nurses like a pro and sleeps in three hour blocks, so I'm almost functional. Thank you again for all your support.
To my VBAC hopeful mamas, I lived by a Dylan Thomas quote:
"Do not go gentle into that good night / Rage, rage against the dying of the light." Be prepared to fight, but know that it is worth it.

He sees her golden hair flowing in the breeze Slender hands, ring adorned blowing kisses in the wind. Rosy lips singing a tune A slender body twirling to the song The tapping of her feet Graceful arms embracing him in everlasting love. Bold green eyes filled with defiance Standing against the flames.

The question sounds simple enough. Look at two pieces of a circle (illustration 1), and decide "what's missing" from the options A to F (illustration 2). But the answer could forever change how you see the world.
The new article in Creation magazine—"Missing or misinterpreted?"—makes a profound point in words that even a child can understand. Yet by grasping the solution, that "child" will be equipped to answer the most basic questions plaguing modern man.
That's what Creation is like. Issue after issue, readers are confronted with answers to profound questions … in simple language that reaches the heart of a child, as well as the head of a philosopher.
Not Just Mind Games
No wonder that avid readers from over 140 countries subscribe. Frequently they also order dozens of gift subscriptions for doctor's offices, friends and acquaintances, because they've seen how the beautiful graphics and intriguing articles reach people.
The articles have a proven track record of changing lives and "blowing minds."
These articles do the crucial work of "pre-evangelism," breaking down barriers ("casting down imaginations,
" as Paul says in 2 Corinthians 10:4–5) that prevent modern, secularized people from recognizing the authority of God's Bible and heeding His saving gospel.
The article "Missing or misinterpreted?" by Ken Ham, for example, piques readers' interest with a series of circle illustrations (illustrations 1 and 2 above), and then shows them in a memorable way (illustration 3) that it's not what we see that leads us to believe that the world is millions of years old, but it's our assumptions.
As the article says, simply but profoundly, "Whenever you hear a news report that scientists found another "missing link" or discovered a fossil "millions of years old"—try to … question the questions these scientists asked to get their interpretations!"
Ken's article (like all the other articles in Creation) is filled with exciting, practical examples from real science—such as (1) the recent discovery of "living fossils"—Wollemi pines—in Australia, (2) the discovery of red blood cells in T. rex bones, and (3) the discovery that fishermen in Southeast Asia have been catching and eating coelacanths for years, though scientists had earlier assumed that coelacanths predated humans by 65 million years (based on false assumptions because coelacanth fossils and human bones don't appear at the same place in the fossil record).
Not Just Pretty Pictures
In addition to "Missing or Misinterpreted?" the latest issue of Creation features lots of other cool, eye-opening articles:
- "Prehistoric" Tarpan horses, bred back to life!
- Dugongs and manatees (gentle "cows" of the sea)
- Groundbreaking research on radiometric dating
- Valuable insights into apartheid, evolution and South Africa's ongoing struggles
- The exquisite photography by award-winning photographer Bob Jensen
- And much, much more
Not just a bunch of "pretty pictures," but cutting-edge truths designed to change lives. Don't miss a single issue!
You "Must" Subscribe!
If you want to "blow your mind" with the latest developments in defending the Bible and understanding God's world from a biblical and scientific perspective, then subscribing to Creation is a must. You won't regret your decision … guaranteed.
While you're at it, buy a gift subscription to blow someone else's mind!

How Can Cowher Coach The Ravens With All Of This Womens Basketball Going On?
There's nothing really wrong with using him for extra coverage considering his wife was a professional BBall player and his daughter plays for Princeton, but the timing was pretty odd. This clip aired about 5 minutes before the NFL Today Pregame Show.
Cowher wasn't on set at first so the group had Charlie Casserly there to fill in. By the time he was on camera CBS had the rare and pointless 6-man desk. They couldn't even move their arms.
