Good location and the staff was helpful.
The water in the shower did not get hot. The knobs on the sink were switched; hot water on the right, cold water on the left. The water in the sink was slightly warmer than the water in the shower.
We walked in the cold and rain most times while out site seeing. It was very disappointing to get back the first nigth to a warm (at best) shower.walking distance to monuments and restaurants
no hot tub
the hotel is smaller than most but very modern and elegant. close waking distance to many of the monuments and restaurants. The hotel was very noisy at night with sounds of sirens and people talking at the park across the street.Customer Service was excellent!Someone above me had a smoking room (or not). I called the front desk because I could smell it and they sent housekeeping to my room to spray.Then the FD called to make sure everything was okay and offered me free wifi.
Room is too noisy, you can hear the AC sound of other building
Its location is a walking distance from all historic sites
The valet parking is super expensive: 45$ per night!!
location - nice hotel
shocking parking fee at $ 45/night
Good value for downtown Washington. Clean nice cocktail lounge.The accommodations were wonderful, and the staff was equally as great. The dining area was very convenient, and the food, delicious.
Parking was the only negative that we can think of. The next time, we'll take the Metro in from the airport or Amtrak.
Exceeded our expectations in regard to accommodations, service and location. We'll be back!This hotel was situated in an excellent location as far as all the Washington DC sights. Additionally, there were lovely cafes, restaurants and everything was within walking distance. DC is lovely to look at and all the architecture is wonderful. W
The hotel is not new but very well kept. It had s sense of peace about it and was not overcrowed. It was just right for us. It was even close to the airport we were departing from. I would recommend it to anyone. Great trip!Close to Metro, excellent area close to White House
I will be back!

It would also be nice to get past the glorification of war and worship of military figures. This country has had far too much of it, especially in recent years. Since the city council memorialized each member by name on a plaque in the square, I suggest that they each take turns standing on the pedestal for several hours each day. If it becomes too tiresome to stand, they could have the toilet brought back to sit on. Or the council could take the recommendation to cycle interesting sculptures through the square, so we can enjoy some variety and artistic talent. 2 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse » MajoritarianThe "Doughboy" reflects a different time and demographic, a different America from a hundred years ago. A post AMerican America. I hope they dont pick the Doughboy for it will reflect a time and place that those wandering our streets today, head buried in a text message, cant identify with. Maybe Pancho Villa would be more appropriate. 0 Agrees | 4 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 12 of 12 comments

I wouldn't agree with "duplicate". Similar ones like speekaboo and ibamboo look the same too. Although the concept isnt new at all and none of them were pioneers in the first place, loudbasstard wins in terms of overall design and name.

It's a cheap duplicate of another person's work. I thought I've seen the actual creator give a TEDx talk early March in Bled http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWxDYhxAnmk @ 12:59 and the creator even has a site on it http://ibamstory.com/
Don't you feel shameful?

What other symptoms might occur with bleeding gums?
Bleeding gums may accompany other symptoms, which vary depending on the underlying disease, disorder or condition.... Read more about bleeding gumssymptoms
What causes bleeding gums?
Bleeding gums most commonly result from inadequate plaque removal from the teeth at the gum line, resulting in a condition called gingivitis, or inflamed gums. Infection of the gum line is a common cause of bleeding gums. If plaque is not removed it will harden into what is called tartar, resulting in increased bleeding and potentially a more advanced form of gum and jawbone disease known as periodontitis....

Congratulations to Lizzy Stemke and the Bulldogs on the reward for their 22-9 season!
Go 'Dawgs!
On Friday night, the Georgia Bulldogs won in volleyball and lost in soccer . . . and the Red and Black's college football opener is only one week away! Dawg Sports covers it all in the Saturday sports summary.
Is the stock of the Georgia Bulldogs' coaches rising, falling, or holding steady? Dawg Sports looks at Mark Richt, Todd Grantham, Mark Fox, Jay Clark, David Perno, and Andy Landers.
I'm guessing tankertoad won't be far behind. Go 'Dawgs!
Lizzy Stemke's Georgia Bulldogs' women's volleyball season came to a disappointing close on Wednesday evening, when the Red and Black lost in straight sets to the Auburn Tigers to finish tied for sixth place in the SEC.
Though most of the focus is on the Georgia Bulldogs football team, the weekend's action also saw notable victories by the Red and Black tennis teams and a five-set loss by the volleyball team.
Sunday was a stellar day for the Georgia Bulldogs, who were impressive in women's equestrian, men's and women's golf, women's soccer, men's and women's tennis, and women's volleyball.
Saturday is an open date on the college football schedule for the Georgia Bulldogs, but the Red and Black were in action in several sports on Friday, carding dominate performances in men's and women's tennis at the ITA Southeast Regional Championships.
Following a slow start, Lizzy Stemke's young Georgia Bulldogs women's volleyball team has improved steadily, capping off its recent surge with a weekend road win over the Arkansas Razorbacks.
While you await the kickoff of the Georgia Bulldogs' college football game against the Vanderbilt Commodores, take a moment to review the Dawg Sports recap of the Red and Black's non-revenue outings on a busy Friday in Bulldog Nation.

No. 25 Virginia Baseball Wins Home Opener over Saint Peter's, 9-1
Oest fires six shutout innings in college debut; Downes homers as part of 3-for-4 day
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Trey Oest (Fr., Dover, Fla.) pitched six shutout innings in his college debut and Brandon Downes (So., South Plainfield, N.J.) went 3-for-4 with a home run as the No. 25 Virginia baseball team defeated Saint Peter's, 9-1, Monday afternoon in the Cavaliers' home opener at Davenport Field.
"I thought our team came out and played well today," Virginia head coach Brian O'Connor said. "It was Saint Peter's first game today and I knew we were going to face their best pitching and it was a really good ballgame until we opened it up late. Trey Oest was outstanding. It was his first collegiate start, and obviously that is a lot of pressure to put on a young man. He certainly responded. I thought he was in complete command."
Oest (1-0) allowed just a hit and a walk and had a no-hitter through 5 2/3 innings. He did not allow a baserunner until a leadoff walk in the fifth inning and saw his no-hit bid come to an end with two outs in the sixth on a clean single to right by Matt Mancini. Oest and fellow rookie hurlers Cameron Tekker (Waxhaw, N.C.) and David Rosenberger (Bethlehem, Pa.) combined to allow just four hits and two walks in the win.
Saint Peter's starter Zack Hopf (0-1) worked six strong innings, allowing three runs (one earned), five hits and three walks in absorbing the loss. He struck out five.
Branden Cogswell (So., Ballston Lake, N.Y.) went 3-for-4 and scored twice for the Cavaliers (3-0). Matt Speckmann had two of the four hits for Saint Peter's (0-1).
Virginia drew first blood with an unearned run in the opening inning, taking an advantage of a one-out error by Hopf. With two out and runners on the corners, Cogswell and Derek Fisher (So., Rexmont, Pa.) combined for a double steal, with Cogswell swiping home as Fisher stole second.
UVa added a run in the fourth inning, this time benefiting from a pair of Peacock errors when Cogswell bounced a two-out single through the right side of the infield and into right field, scoring Reed Gragnani (Sr., Richmond, Va.), who walked with two outs.
The Cavaliers tacked on a run in the fifth when Downes homered into the left-field bleachers. The solo blast was his first long ball of the year and his second career blast.
Saint Peter's broke up the shutout in the seventh inning against Tekker, who issued a leadoff walk to James Smith and one out later gave up a single off the right-center field wall to Speckmann. Matt Schroeder then singled to center to score Smith. An overthrow allowed both runners to advance, but Tekker battled out of the one-out jam to hold the Peacocks to just one run.
Virginia responded with three runs in the bottom of the seventh against reliever Eric Mozeika. With one out and runners on second and third, Howard lifted a sacrifice fly to center field. Gragnani then tripled into the right-field corner to score Joe McCarthy (Fr., Scranton, Pa.).
The Cavaliers put the game out of reach by batting around in a 3-run eighth inning. With one out, Fisher singled to score Cogswell, who had singled and stolen second to start the inning. Fisher stole second and Downes walked. McCarthy followed with a run-scoring single and one batter later, Howard hit his second sac fly in as many innings.
Virginia continues its 15-game homestand at 3 p.m. Tuesday when it welcomes William and Mary to Davenport Field.

Best truck lights
I want to replce the headlights of my 1986 Chevy Scottsdale truck. What is the best and brightest light to buy? I bought this truck second hand and have not changed the lights. What lights are the most durable and long-lasting?
Last edited by Pikey; 12-15-2012 at 02:12 PM.
I believe that your options are pretty limited because you have to replace the entire headlight assembly rather than the just the bulb. I have heard good things about the Salvania Xtra vision replacements for your truck. I believe that they have one of the highest lumen output for that style light. (not by much, it is like 100-200 lumen more)

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- You would not be reading this if you didn't have an appreciation of the artistry and acumen required to produce exceptional and delicious cuisine to match the sea of wine available to us.
From time to time in my travels around our glorious state, I am reminded of the dedication and diligence of those who enrich our experiences with their culinary skills oftentimes toiling in obscurity in out-of-the-way locations.
West Virginia is a state full of out-of-the-way places and getting from point A to point B can sometimes involve a nonlinear route that results in pleasant diversions and discoveries. That's how, on a trip back to Washington, D.C., more than two decades ago, I discovered Canaan Valley and subsequently some very cool restaurants, cafes and holes in the wall.
Many of these establishments happen to be in the Potomac Highland towns of Davis and Thomas just north of Canaan Valley. A recent trip to that stunningly beautiful part of our state renewed my faith in the creativity of mountaineer entrepreneurs.
Muttley's Downtown in Davis has been around for many years, featuring excellent steak and other grilled meats and providing guests with a very-well-thought-out and value-oriented wine list.
Owners Becky Bunner an Randy Colombo have now joined with Meyer House B&B proprietor Cindy Robeson to add a wine specialty shop -- Shades of Grape. The shop is adjacent to the restaurant and patrons can choose from a small, but very selective list of wines and edibles from around the world.
From time to time, wines featured in Shades of Grape will be available on the restaurant's wine list at the same price as in the shop, and that is an excellent bargain. The restaurant is full of offbeat artwork, lifelike mannequins and assorted esoterica that will have you smiling and/or scratching your head. The wine shop and restaurant are open Tuesday through Saturday. You'll need to call for dinner reservations (304-259-4848), but a trip to Muttley's Downtown should definitely be a part of your itinerary.

Is Google the "Man" or Does Bing Have a Say in SEM?
Google dominates the search engine space. More searches are conducted on Google than anywhere else. Google has two-thirds of the search engine market. Google generates more online sales revenue than any other search engine. Google is the internet company to beat, except it's unbeatable. If you aren't ranking on Google, you're ranking nowhere. Concentrate on Google and you'll be fine.
Google, Google, GOOGLE!
I don't agree.
All of the things just stated are true, but only in a certain light. Once you start peeling away the outer layers of global data, which form the onion skin around search engine performance, a very different picture is painted. Marketers are well aware of the fact that differentiation is the key to company promotion, and Google is not all things to all people, which means as a marketer or company promoting yourself online, you must take a more granular approach to your search engine marketing.
Google Constructs
Google dominates the search engine space – with two-thirds of searches being carried out, this is entirely true, but let's takes a closer look at this "global" number. Whichever way you slice the search engine pie, both Google and Bing have huge amounts of traffic cutting across every cross-section of user demographic profiles. A third of Google searches are conducted by people overseas i.e. outside the US, whereas its closest competitor, Microsoft's Bing, has the bulk of its search business concentrated in the US.
Does this mean you should move your search efforts to Bing to focus on the North American market?
No – Google's sheer traffic numbers means more North American traffic is generated from Google than from Bing; but the gulf between the two companies is not as wide as is initially made out.
Google generates more online sales revenue than any other search engine – again this is true, but it does not apply across the entire spectrum of users. Bing does beat Google out in some areas. First of all, volume traffic is not the critical factor for success in SEM – conversion rates play a huge role, which is probably more important than traffic numbers alone. Bing has better conversion rates in some key demographics – notably users over 34 years of age, and especially in the silver surfer demographic (older, typically retired users).
Bing users are more likely to have children, be well on the way in their careers and working lives, to be home-owners and to have busy lives for which the Internet is a time-saving Godsend. In short, Bing has a higher concentration of key demographic users in its traffic, with the motivation and the disposable income to spend time and money online. Google's overall success is again due to the volume of search traffic compared to Bing, but we are comparing apples and oranges. For SEM professionals looking to differentiate their offerings and focus on their target audience, they must look to see what the balance is between Google and Bing to maximize ROI.
Google is unbeatable – while the Goog Monster may appear unbeatable, let's get serious. Google is a very well-managed company in an exceptionally strong position, but anyone thinking Google is unbeatable only need to look at the spate of American car making giants who ran for bankruptcy protection last year to understand no company is "unbeatable." What the future holds for Google is uncertain; in the short term it is an extremely strong company, but 5 years ago who would have believed that Facebook would grow to be a serious rival to "traditional" search?
Google's success stems from how it rode a sea shift in how the Internet was used by people. Perhaps another paradigm shift has already taken place with online social networking, and there is no hiding the fact that Facebook is looking increasingly cozy with Microsoft (owner of Bing). Google competed heavily with Microsoft's Bing to take over the Yahoo! back-end for search: Bing won that battle with Google only managing to take over Yahoo! in Japan. At the same time, Google high-tailed it out of China last year, citing issues with privacy and censorship – but Bing is expanding in that market.
Google is not, and will never have, things all its own way.
Balancing Strategies: What Does This Mean for SEM Marketers and Companies?
Unless you are the type of company which has a universal marketing denominator of zero, the lowest common denominator, you cannot focus exclusively on Google. It also makes no business sense from a risk perspective to put all your promotional eggs in to one search engine basket. Commercial and marketing sense dictates you must diversify your promotional efforts in order to maximize ROI; your own success will be based upon your target markets and how different search engines are used by users within your own key demographics.
Diversifying your marketing efforts between competing search engines (and other marketing channels) is crucial to overall business success. Pinning all your SEM success upon Google is a very short-term strategy which is not likely to translate into long-term stability and profitability. More than this, ignoring Bing and to a lesser extent, other search engines such as Blekko, means you are cutting yourself off from traffic which can be worth more in conversion rates and hard sales revenues.
Best practice is therefore to look at what each search engine specifically offers and to weight your resources and campaigns accordingly. Given the frequent changes and developments in the search engine space, spreading your concentrated effort is the only effective hedge against the risk of changes in fickle user behavior, and to allow you to be well-placed to take advantage of how your target markets are using the Internet in practice.

While I agree that smart marketers look everywhere and should not ignore secondary engines (especially Bing), I feel that many things in this post need proper data sources. For example, I would love to know where you are getting your data about demographics for Bing and Google. I have never seen anything that would slice and dice the demographics this way. More so, I have never seen anything that would confirm it either way. Another important thing missing from this post – the changes to Bing's demographic and traffic volume after the Yahoo deal went live. This should be here – since Yahoo used to have a certain reputation and appeal to a certain demo (think women) and topics (think healthcare). What ever happened to this now?
I'll agree with maria , I think that if your are totally concentrated on google , you are shorting your possibilities.I know quite few people who use yahoo for the search landing page because of all the immediate access it gives the with having to "search" right away. Bing has the same type of ui design as Google , but still carries 30% market. The bottom line is , Google is on top now , but nobody stays on top forever…be prepared to transition , and and be open to all aspects of the web…example – local maps have become a major source of search within the last 2 years.
Oddly enough I disagree … We are a Canadian based internet marketing firm and have access to hundreds/thousands of website analytics for our clients. Without fail, at least for the Canadian market, Google dominates in the 97%+ range of search engine traffic. The numbers are so overwhelmingly Google even IF Bing/Yahoo have hiigher conversion rates the numbers are so low its not a justifiable comparison.
Google has dominated the search engine market for quite sometime now. I did not think Bing is widely use d up to now. It all depends on the area and person because there are some people in some parts of the world who often use Bing more than Google.

Fundraiser planned Sunday for man injured in custody
The fundraiser marks one month to the day that Elliot Hospital transferred Ornelas, 54, to Massachusetts General Hospital. Family and friends say Ornelas went to the Boston hospital because he had a broken neck and was paralyzed from the neck down.
Ornelas was a psychiatric patient in the Elliot Hospital emergency room when he allegedly attacked a security guard the night of Oct. 16. He allegedly suffered facial injuries, was booked at Manchester police headquarters for simple assault, and then transferred about midnight Oct. 17 to Hillsborough County House of Corrections. Ornelas was sent back to Elliot Hospital about 9:30 a.m.

How can we be sure that we have the correct 66 books in our Bible? The Bible is a unique volume. It is composed of 66 books by 40 different writers over 1,500 years. But what makes it unique is that it has one consistent storyline running all the way through, and it has just one ultimate author—God. The story is about God's plan to rescue men and women from the devastating results of the Fall, a plan that was conceived in eternity, revealed through the prophets, and carried out by the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
Each writer of the Bible books wrote in his own language and style, using his own mind, and in some cases research, yet each was so overruled by the Holy Spirit that error was not allowed to creep into his work. For this reason, the Bible is understood by Christians to be a book without error.1
This collection of 66 books is known as the "canon" of Scripture. That word comes from the Hebrew kaneh (a rod), and the Greek kanon (a reed). Among other things, the words referred equally to the measuring rod of the carpenter and the ruler of the scribe. It became a common word for anything that was the measure by which others were to be judged (see Galatians 6:16, for example). After the apostles, church leaders used it to refer to the body of Christian doctrine accepted by the churches. Clement and Origen of Alexandria, in the third century, were possibly the first to employ the word to refer to the Scriptures (the Old Testament).2 From then on, it became more common in Christian use with reference to a collection of books that are fixed in their number, divine in their origin, and universal in their authority.
In the earliest centuries, there was little debate among Christians over which books belonged in the Bible; certainly by the time of the church leader Athanasius in the fourth century, the number of books had long been fixed. He set out the books of the New Testament just as we know them and added:
These are the fountains of salvation, that whoever thirsts may be satisfied by the eloquence which is in them. In them alone is set forth the doctrine of piety. Let no one add to them, nor take anything from them.3
Today, however, there are attempts to undermine the clear witness of history; a host of publications, from the novel to the (supposedly) academic challenge the long-held convictions of Christians and the clear evidence of the past. Dan Brown in The Da Vinci Code claimed, "More than eighty gospels were considered for the New Testament, and yet only relatively few were chosen for inclusion—Matthew, Mark, Luke and John among them."4 Richard Dawkins, professor of popular science at Oxford, England, has made similar comments.5
So, what is the evidence for our collection of 66 books? How certain can we be that these are the correct books to make up our Bible—no more and no less?
The Canon of the Old Testament
The Jews had a clearly defined body of Scriptures that collectively could be summarized as the Torah, or Law. This was fixed early in the life of Israel, and there was no doubt as to which books belonged and which did not. They did not order them in the same way as our Old Testament, but the same books were there. The Law was the first five books, known as the Pentateuch, which means "five rolls"—referring to the parchment scrolls on which they were normally written. The Prophets consisted of the Former Prophets (unusually for us these included Joshua, Judges, Samuel, and Kings) and the Latter Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah which included Lamentations, and the 12 smaller prophetic books). The Writings gathered up the rest. The total amounted generally to 24 books because many books, such as 1 and 2 Samuel and Ezra and Nehemiah, were counted as one.
When was the canon of the Old Testament settled? The simple response is that if we accept the reasonable position that each of the books was written at the time of its history—the first five at the time of Moses, the historical records close to the period they record, the psalms of David during his lifetime, and the prophets written at the time they were given—then the successive stages of acceptance into the canon of Scripture is not hard to fix. Certainly, the Jews generally held this view.
There is a lot of internal evidence that the books of the Old Testament were written close to the time they record. For example, in 2 Chronicles 10:19, we have a record from the time of Rehoboam that "Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day." Clearly, therefore, that must have been recorded prior to 721 B.C., when the Assyrians finally crushed Israel and the cream of the population was taken away into captivity—or at the very latest before 588 B.C., when Jerusalem suffered the same fate. We know also that the words of the prophets were written down in their own lifetime; Jeremiah had a secretary called Baruch for this very purpose (Jeremiah 36:4).
Josephus, the Jewish historian writing around A.D. 90, clearly stated in his defense of Judaism that, unlike the Greeks, the Jews did not have many books:
For we have not an innumerable multitude of books among us, disagreeing from and contradicting one another [as the Greeks have] but only twenty-two books, which contain the records of all the past times; which are justly believed to be divine.6
The Council of Jamnia
Between A.D. 90 and 100, a group of Jewish scholars met at Jamnia in Israel to consider matters relating to the Hebrew Scriptures. It has been suggested that the canon of the Jewish Scriptures was agreed here; the reality is that there is no contemporary record of the deliberations at Jamnia and our knowledge is therefore left to the comments of later rabbis. The idea that there was no clear canon of the Hebrew Scriptures before A.D. 100 is not only in conflict with the testimony of Josephus and others, but has also been seriously challenged more recently. It is now generally accepted that Jamnia was not a council nor did it pronounce on the Jewish canon; rather it was an assembly that examined and discussed the Hebrew Scriptures. The purpose of Jamnia was not to decide which books should be included among the sacred writings, but to examine those that were already accepted.7
The Apocrypha and the Septuagint
There is a cluster of about 14 books, known as the Apocrypha, which were written some time between the close of the Old Testament (after 400 B.C.) and the beginning of the New. They were never considered as part of the Hebrew Scriptures, and the Jews themselves clearly ruled them out by the confession that there was, throughout that period, no voice of the prophets in the land.8 They looked forward to a day when "a faithful prophet" should appear.9
The Old Testament had been translated into Greek during the third century B.C., and this translation is known as the Septuagint, a word meaning 70, after the supposedly 70 men involved in the translation. It was the Greek Septuagint that the disciples of Jesus frequently used since Greek was the common language of the day.
Whether or not the Septuagint also contained the Apocrypha is impossible to say for certain, since although the earliest copies of the Septuagint available today do include the Apocrypha—placed at the end—these are dated in the fifth century and therefore cannot be relied upon to tell us what was common half a millennium earlier. Significantly, neither Jesus nor any of the apostles ever quoted from the Apocrypha, even though they were obviously using the Greek Septuagint. Josephus was familiar with the Septuagint and made use of it, but he never considered the Apocrypha part of the Scriptures.10
The Dead Sea Scrolls
The collection of scrolls that has become available since the discovery of the first texts in 1947 near Wadi Qumran, close by the Dead Sea, does not provide scholars with a definitive list of Old Testament books, but even if it did, it would not necessarily tell us what mainstream orthodox Judaism believed. After all, the Samaritans used only their own version of the Pentateuch, but they did not represent mainstream Judaism.
What can be said for certain, however, is that all Old Testament books are represented among the Qumran collection with the exception of Esther, and they are quoted frequently as Scripture. Nothing else, certainly not the Apocrypha, is given the same status.
In spite of suggestions by critical scholars to the contrary, there is no evidence, not even from the Dead Sea Scrolls, that there were other books contending for a place within the Old Testament canon.
For the Jews, therefore, Scripture as a revelation from God through the prophets ended around 450 B.C. with the close of the book of Malachi. This was the Bible of Jesus and His disciples, and it was precisely the same in content as our Old Testament.
The New Testament scholar John Wenham concludes: "There is no reason to doubt that the canon of the Old Testament is substantially Ezra's canon, just as the Pentateuch was substantially Moses' canon."11
Jesus, His Disciples, and the Early Church Leaders
For their part, the Christian community both in the days of Jesus and in the centuries following had no doubt that there was a body of books that made up the records of the old covenant. Since there are literally hundreds of direct quotations or clear allusions to Old Testament passages by Jesus and the apostles, it is evident what the early Christians thought of the Hebrew Scriptures. The New Testament writers rarely quote from other books and never with the same authority. The Apocrypha is entirely absent in their writing.
While it is true that some of the early church leaders quoted from the Apocrypha—though very rarely compared to their use of the Old Testament books—there is no evidence that they recognized these books as equal to the Old Testament.12
The conviction that there was a canon of old covenant books that could not be added to or subtracted from doubtless led the early Christians to expect the same divine order for the story of Jesus, the record of the early church, and the letters of the apostles.
The Canon of the New Testament
The earliest available list of New Testament books is known as the Muratorian Canon and is dated around A.D. 150. It includes the four Gospels, Acts, thirteen letters of Paul, Jude, two (perhaps all three) letters of John, and the Revelation of John. It claims that these were accepted by the "universal church." This leaves out 1 and 2 Peter, James, and Hebrews. However, 1 Peter was widely accepted by this time and may be an oversight by the compiler (or the later copyist). No other books are present except the Wisdom of Solomon, but this must be an error since that book belongs in the Apocrypha and no one ever added it to the New Testament!
By A.D. 240, Origen from Alexandria was using all our 27 books as "Scripture," and no others, and referred to them as the "New Testament."13 He believed them to be "inspired by the Spirit."14 But it was not until A.D. 367 that Athanasius, also from Alexandria, provided us with an actual list of New Testament books identical with ours.15
However, long before we have that list, the evidence shows that the 27 books, and only those, were widely accepted as Scripture.
Why Did It Take So Long?
The New Testament was not all neatly printed and bound by the Macedonian Pub. Co. at Thessalonica shortly after Paul's death and sent out by the pallet load into all the bookstores and kiosks of the Roman Empire. Here are six reasons why it took time for the books of the New Testament to be gathered together.
- The originals were scattered across the whole empire. The Roman Empire reached from Britain to Persia, and it would have taken time for any church even to learn about all the letters Paul had written, let alone gather copies of them.
- No scroll could easily contain more than one or two books. It would be impossible to fit more than one Gospel onto a scroll, and even when codices (books) were used, the entire New Testament would be extremely bulky and very expensive to produce. It was therefore far more convenient for New Testament books to be copied singly or in small groups.
- The first-century Christians expected the immediate return of Christ. Because of this, they didn't plan for the long-term future of the Church.
- No one church or leader bossed all the others. There were strong and respected leaders among the churches, but Christianity had no supreme bishop who dictated to all the others which books belonged to the canon and which did not.
- The early leaders assumed the authority of the Gospels and the apostles. It was considered sufficient to quote the Gospels and apostles, since their authority was self-evident. They did not need a list—inconvenient for us, but not significant for them.
- Only when the heretics attacked the truth was the importance of a canon appreciated. It was not until the mid-second century that the Gnostics and others began writing their own pseudepigrapha (false writing); this prompted orthodox leaders to become alert to the need for stating which books had been recognized across the churches.
In the light of all this, the marvel is not how long it took before the majority of the churches acknowledged a completed canon of the New Testament, but how soon after their writing each book was accepted as authoritative.
Facts about the New Testament Canon
- There were only ever the four Gospels used by the churches for the life and ministry of Jesus. Other pseudo-gospels were written but these were immediately rejected by the churches across the empire as spurious.
- The Acts of the Apostles and 13 letters of Paul were all accepted without question or hesitation from the earliest records.
- Apart from James, Jude, 2 and 3 John, 2 Peter, Hebrews, and Revelation, all other New Testament books had been universally accepted by A.D. 180. Only a few churches hesitated over these seven.
- Well before the close of the first century, Clement of Rome quoted from or referred to more than half the New Testament and claimed that Paul wrote "in the Spirit" and that his letters were "Scriptures."
- Polycarp, who was martyred in A.D. 155, quoted from 16 NT books and referred to them as "Sacred Scriptures."
- Irenaeus of Lyons, one of the most able defenders of the faith, around A.D. 180 quoted over 1,000 passages from all but four or five New Testament books, and called them "the Scriptures" given by the Holy Spirit.
- Tertullian of Carthage, around A.D. 200, was the first serious expositor and used almost all the NT books. They were equated with the Old Testament, and he referred to "the majesty of our Scriptures." He clearly possessed a canon almost, if not wholly, identical to ours.
- By A.D. 240, Origen of Alexandria was using all our 27 books, and only those, as Scripture alongside the Old Testament books.
And these are just examples of many of the church leaders at this time.
What Made a Book "Scripture"?
At first, the churches had no need to define what made a book special and equal to the Old Testament Scriptures. If the letter came from Paul or Peter, that was sufficient. However, it was not long before others began writing additional letters and gospels either to fill the gaps or to propagate their own ideas. Some tests became necessary, and during the first 200 years, five tests were used at various times.
Apostolic—does it come from an apostle?
The first Christians asked, "Was it written by an apostle or under the direction of an apostle?" They expected this just as the Jews had expected theirs to be underwritten by the prophets. Paul was insistent that his readers should be reassured that the letters they received actually came from his pen (e.g., 2 Thessalonians 3:17).
Authentic—does it have the ring of truth?
The authoritative voice of the prophets, "This is what the Lord says," is matched by the apostles' claim to write not the words of men but the words of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13). It was the internal witness of the texts themselves that was strong evidence of canonicity.
Ancient—has it been used from the earliest times?
Most of the false writings were rejected simply because they were too new to be apostolic. Early in the fourth century, Athanasius listed the New Testament canon as we know it today and claimed that these were the books "received by us through tradition as belonging to the Canon."16
Accepted—are most of the churches using it?
Since, as we have seen, it took time for letters to circulate among the churches, it is all the more significant that 23 of the 27 books were almost universally accepted well before the middle of the second century.
When tradition carries the weight of the overwhelming majority of churches throughout the widely scattered Christian communities across the vast Roman Empire, with no one church controlling the beliefs of all the others, it has to be taken seriously.
Accurate—does it conform to the orthodox teaching of the churches?
There was widespread agreement among the churches across the empire as to the content of the Christian message. Irenaeus asked the question whether a particular writing was consistent with what the churches taught.17 This is what ruled out so much of the heretical material immediately.
Our final appeal is not to man, not even to the early church leaders, but to God, who by His Holy Spirit has put His seal upon the New Testament. By their spiritual content and by the claim of their human writers, the 27 books of our New Testament form part of the "God breathed" Scripture. It is perfectly correct to allow this divine intervention to guard the process by which eventually all the canonical books—and no others—were accepted. The idea of the final canon being an accident, and that any number of books could have ended up in the Bible, ignores the evident unity and provable accuracy of the whole collection of 27 books.
Bruce Metzger expressed it well: "There are, in fact, no historical data that prevent one from acquiescing in the conviction held by the Church Universal that, despite the very human factors . . . in the production, preservation, and collection of the books of the New Testament, the whole process can also be rightly characterized as the result of divine overruling."18
A belief in the authority and inerrancy of Scripture is bound to a belief in the divine preservation of the canon. The God who "breathed out" (2 Timothy 3:16) His word into the minds of the writers ensured that those books, and no others, formed part of the completed canon of the Bible.

In this, the following definition can be found: "The Holy Spirit moved men to write. He allowed them to use their own style, culture, gifts and character, to use the results of their own study and research, to write of their own experiences and to express what was in their mind. At the same time, the Holy Spirit did not allow error to influence their writings; he overruled in the expression of thought and in the choice of words. Thus they recorded accurately all that God wanted them to say and exactly how he wanted them to say it, in their own character, style and language." Back

| Re: American Gods - TV Series Just stymbeled upon this site, but I certainly enjoyed Neil Gaiman's American Gods, and actually suggest it to many people looking for a modern day fantasy fiction novel. It should be very interesting to say the least. I will have to follow this one! |

| Re: American Gods - TV Series That's correct, the TV show came first, then the book. It was to be adapted into a film at one point to. Last edited by zaltys13; 18th October 2011 at 03:29 PM. Reason: spelling error |

| Re: American Gods - TV Series As of February, Gaiman was working on a script for the pilot and was being paid for the work by HBO. That doesn't guarantee a pilot, but I'd say it's probable. From what I've heard, the concept for the show is for a six-season arc overall, but that just means they're planning big in light of True Blood and Game of Thrones, not that we'll ever actually see six seasons. |

| Re: American Gods - TV Series I know it's a decent-sized book, but I'm struggling to see how they could draw it out for six seasons, unless Gaiman's planning to add some stuff in the middle. Or write some sequels. Glad to hear the author has significant input though. I guess they've learned from GoT how well that can work. |

Shattuck-St. Mary's has two academic divisions - grades 6-9 and grades 10-12. In addition, each year the School typically has a small number of post-graduate students who have chosen to spend an extra year at Shattuck-St. Mary's before transitioning to college. With an average class size of 14, our students benefit from one-on-one attention, small-class discussion and reflection, and the opportunity to delve deeply into any subject. The curriculum includes Advanced Placement courses in 16 distinct subject areas. Online learning is also offered in a variety of subjects under the close supervision of faculty. The rigorous and engaging Upper School course curriculum prepares our students for entrance into some of the nation's top colleges and universities.
Our Academic Centers of Excellence include the Honors Program, the BioScience Program and the Center for Academic Achievement. All three programs have additional applications that are required for participation. The Honors Program allows a select group of highly motivated grade 10-12 students to accelerate their studies and focus on areas of specialized interest. The BioScience Program is designed to connect students interested in the medical and bioscience fields to the rich resources in Minnesota's "medical alley." Our Center for Academic Achievement provides support, resources and instruction for students with mild learning differences.
Almost all of our faculty members live on campus, many working as dorm parents, providing a rewarding mentor relationship, insight and supervision to our boarding students. The close-knit community of engaged individuals leads to strong, enduring friendships, fosters an environment of acceptance, and a true sense of shared experience.

Tastes good. Only downside is the sodium IMO.
But really good to take 1 cup before bed. There's plenty of casein in there as well!
Tastes good. Only downside is the sodium IMO.
But really good to take 1 cup before bed. There's plenty of casein in there as well!
Yep, definitely worth it before bed as it is full of casien to help minimize catabolism during sleep. Doesn't taste bad, at least I don't think so.
There is no taste to compare it to. It is an acquired taste, but it does not taste bad. Start with small curds then work your way to large curds if you choose. I mix mine with raisens and honey or just honey.
How much Casein protein are we talking here for a standard serving? 1 cup or so contains what amount of casein? Thanks for the responses guys!
dean ff low sodium cottage cheese, comes in a pink container. Great for a quick lunch, each tub is 50g of protein, or there abouts.
15g per 1/2cup roughly, depends on brand.
Texture is unique; sour cream totally filled with little cheese curds? Mix in some cinnamon, splenda, berries, good snack. I always go FF so I can take some coconut oil as my fats (instead of the ones from the cheese)
I am not big on the taste so my recent cure has been to mix it with sugar free Jello. Works great for me, I always try to get in a cup b4 bed.
I honestly can't stand the taste....since the only time I eat it is before bed, I spring for the lowfat.
Yeah, the high sodium is a drag, but the low or sodium free are nasty.

I just recently started eating it in the last year. Now once you get past the mental issue of eating spoiled milk..blech! It really tastes better than I expected. Its much easier to eat then some of the foods I've been forced to try.
Now someday I have to convince myself to try yogurt.
I used it once and saw no benefit.. but that was most likely because I only used it for 3-4 weeks.
Actualy tastes kind of good when you mix pepper on it.
I love cottage cheese as a source of caseine before bed, and it tastes good with almost anything mixed in with it. It provides a good alternative to a casein shake.
I really want to try it with the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and splenda. If I like it, then I will start using it a few nights a week.

Q. After a recent trip to the local animal shelter, my children want to adopt a dog or cat. I have always considered myself to be a very allergic person and feel that my allergies will become worse if we bring an animal into our home. A coworker of my husband told him there are dogs that are non-allergenic or hypoallergenic, allowing an allergy sufferer to have a pet in their home without having symptoms. I want to know if this is true and which type of dog would be considered non-allergenic. I would also like to know if there are certain breeds of cats that fit into this category?
A. Unfortunately there are no "non-allergenic" cat or dog breeds! All of these have some level of allergen. Further, the allergic potential of dogs or cats is not affected by the length of their fur. This is a common myth! The protein found in the animals' saliva, dander and urine is what causes allergies. Almost 10 million pet owners - including children - are allergic to their animals. The fur of a dog or cat can, however, collect additional allergens such as pollen and mold spores. Cats seem to be more allergenic than dogs. Almost all already-allergic people exposed to cats on a regular basis will become allergic to them as well.
If you plan to introduce a pet into your home, have an evaluation by a board certified allergist incluing skin testing. In doing so, you will know for certain to what you are allergic. If found allergic to dogs or cats, consider immunotherapy (allergy shots). These shots will eventually, over a period of time, desensitize you to these animals, so that you may one day be able to have a family pet without compromising your health or well being.

[JURIST] Mongolian President Elbegdorj Tsakhia [official profile] announced Thursday that he would suspend [speech text] the death penalty [JURIST news archive] and commute the sentences of all prisoners currently on death row to 30 years in prison. In a lengthy speech to the Mongolian Parliament, Tsakhia called for a permanent ban on the death penalty, saying that many mistakes are made in its administration, and that the system has been abused by those with power. He cited statistics from Amnesty International (AI) [advocacy website], showing that one in three death sentences were overturned by a court of appeals, as proof that oftentimes the sentence was wrongfully imposed. Tsakhia said:
It is not the fault of the people of Mongolia that Mongolia maintains the death penalty. And it is not the fault of our judiciary to practice this punishment. Our judges have endeavored to render just judgments and have been working to repair those decisions deemed unjust. Yet, I cannot firmly say, no mistakes have been made here. Similarly, I cannot say, no mistakes will be made. The price we pay for mistakes in delivering the truth is measured in human lives. Humans work in courts, judiciaries. After all, no human being is alien to mistakes.

Four years in NH and our first Keene Pumpkinfest...never have we seen so many Jack O'Lanterns in our life! More than 29,000 (we contributed two) which was a Keene record lining up and down Main Street and carvers were very creative.
Although it's mostly about the pumpkins, there were also street vendors and entertainers, crafts tents, and fireworks. Check out all the pumpkins in the pictures below and more can be found on our Little River Bed and Breakfast Facebook page.

Just a little more than a day left before voters in Florida have their say in the GOP primary. The latest polls by the Miami Herald and the Tampa Bay Times show Mitt Romney with an 11-point lead over Newt Gingrich, with Rick Santorum and Ron Paul trailing far behind. Newt Gingrich, who's had trouble getting support from establishment Republicans, picked up a nod from a decidedly non-establishment figure - one of his former rivals, Herman Cain.
And sticking with presidential politics for a moment, speaking a second language has recently become something of a liability for those aspiring to live in the White House. It turns out very few American presidents have had a strong command of a second language, most of them in the early days of the Republic, and that language, it was French.
John McWhorter wrote about this recently in The New Republic, and he's with me now. John, bonjour.
JOHN MCWHORTER: Bonjour, Guy. How are you doing?
And speaking of French, a small French revolution is underway in the town of Cesson - sorry. How do you say it?
LAUREN: Cesson-Sevigne.
RAZ: Thankfully, our intern Lauren Benichou is French. Anyway, as I was saying, in that town, the mayor, Michel Bihan, has banned the use of the word mademoiselle.
MAYOR MICHEL BIHAN: (Through translator) In France, mademoiselle is a condescending term. We believe that it's more natural and fair to call women madame.

Even if you've never heard of Melies, you've probably seen the film's most famous shot: a moon with a human face, wincing at the spaceship that has just crashed into its eye.

Bottle from the brewery. Bottled 2-24-14 and poured on 3-4-14. Oooh fresh. Pours to my wine glass a mostly clear golden copper color with a very creamy one finger white head on top. Classic grapefruit and pine aroma, some mango and pineapple, more pine and grass. Flavor is sweet tropical fruits behind massive pine bitterness. Resinous mouthfeel, medium carbonation, and extremely smooth. I do see why this is so loved, and it is quite a fantastic IPA with a lot of heft despite the lowish ABV. Good stuff.
Serving type: on-tap

Another "How the heck have I not reviewed this beer yet" review.
Six day old sample. Poured into a pint glass.
Crystal clear copper/orange pour with a massive scoop of off-white foam. Tons of lacing throughout the glass.
Aroma is a wonderful blend of citrus and light malt. Orange, apricot, peach, pineapple and mango. Pretty much insert any citrus fruit and you can whiff it. Some pine and malt as well.
The taste is, in essence, what an IPA should be. Hoppy up front with a big malt back bone. Big citrus and the right amount of bud-tingling hops. This has that. Mouthwatering buds well after the swallow. Makes me want more and more to quench that everlasting thirst. The swallow is almost like the licking of the inside of a grapefruit rind...not the outside.
Smoooth body to this.
Overall this lives up to the hype. Everything a West Coast IPA should be and more. Smooth yet bitter but not overly to take it to the DIPA level (that's Pliny's job). I noticed the price has gone up on this bad boy but still worth it to experience the show. Too bad the Blind Pig can't. Whaaa.

Sci. Signal., 10 November 2009 RESEARCH ARTICLESH2S Signals Through Protein S-SulfhydrationAsif K. Mustafa1, Moataz M. Gadalla2, Nilkantha Sen1, Seyun Kim1, Weitong Mu1, Sadia K. Gazi1, Roxanne K. Barrow1, Guangdong Yang3, Rui Wang3, and Solomon H. Snyder1,2,4*
1 Solomon H. Snyder Department of Neuroscience, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA. Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a messenger molecule generated by cystathionine -lyase, acts as a physiologic vasorelaxant. Mechanisms whereby H2S signals have been elusive. We now show that H2S physiologically modifies cysteines in a large number of proteins by S-sulfhydration. About 10 to 25% of many liver proteins, including actin, tubulin, and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), are sulfhydrated under physiological conditions. Sulfhydration augments GAPDH activity and enhances actin polymerization. Sulfhydration thus appears to be a physiologic posttranslational modification for proteins. * To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: ssnyder{at}jhmi.edu Citation: A. K. Mustafa, M. M.
