Let's listen in on a hypothetical conversation between a biblical creationist (C) and an evolutionist (E) as they discuss some recent scientific news headlines:
E: Have you heard about the research findings regarding mouse evolution?
C: Are you referring to the finding of coat color change in beach mice?
E: Yes, isn't it a wonderful example of evolution in action?
C: No, I think it's a good example of natural selection in action, which is merely selecting information that already exists.
E: Well, what about antibiotic resistance in bacteria? Don't you think that's a good example of evolution occurring right before our eyes?
C: No, you seem to be confusing the terms "evolution" and "natural selection."
E: But natural selection is the primary mechanism that drives evolution.
C: Natural selection doesn't drive molecules-to-man evolution; you are giving natural selection a power that it does not have—one that can supposedly add new information to the genome, as molecules-to-man evolution requires. But natural selection simply can't do that because it works with information that already exists.
Natural selection is an observable process that is often purported to be the underlying mechanism of unobservable molecules-to-man evolution. The concepts are indeed different, though some mistakenly interchange the two. So let's take a closer look. There are two major questions to answer:
- How do biblical creationists rightly view the observable phenomenon of natural selection?
- Could this process cause the increase in genetic information necessary for molecules-to-man evolution?
What Is Natural Selection?
Below are some definitions evolutionists use to define "natural selection." The problem biblical creationists have with these definitions lies mostly in their misapplication, as noted by the bolded phrases.
Evolutionary change based on the differential reproductive success of individuals within a species.1
The process by which genetic traits are passed on to each successive generation. Over time, natural selection helps species become better adapted to their environment. Also known as "survival of the fittest," natural selection is the driving force behind the process of evolution.2
The process in nature by which, according to Darwin's theory of evolution, only the organisms best adapted to their environment tend to survive and transmit their genetic characters in increasing numbers to succeeding generations while those less adapted tend to be eliminated (also see evolution).3
From a creationist perspective natural selection is a process whereby organisms possessing specific characteristics (reflective of their genetic makeup) survive better than others in a given environment or under a given selective pressure (i.e., antibiotic resistance in bacteria). Those with certain characteristics live, and those without them diminish in number or die.
The problem for evolutionists is that natural selection is nondirectional—should the environment change or the selective pressure be removed, those organisms with previously selected for characteristics are typically less able to deal with the changes and may be selected against because their genetic information has decreased—more on this later. Evolution of the molecules-to-man variety, requires directional change. Thus, the term "evolution" cannot be rightly used in the context of describing what natural selection can accomplish.
What Is Evolution?
This term has many definitions just as "natural selection" does. Much of the term's definition depends on the context in which the word "evolution" is used. Below are some recent notable definitions of evolution (note the bold phrases).
Unfolding in time of a predictable or prepackaged sequence in an inherently, or at least directional manner.4
The theory that all life forms are descended from one or several common ancestors that were present on early earth, three to four billion years ago.5
The "Big Idea" [referring to evolution] is that living things (species) are related to one another through common ancestry from earlier forms that differed from them. Darwin called this "descent with modification," and it is still the best definition of evolution we can use, especially with members of the general public and with young learners.6
All of these definitions give the same basic idea that evolution is directional in producing all the life-forms on earth today from one or several ancestral life-forms billions of years ago. The last definition is especially intriguing because it indicates that an ambiguous definition of evolution should be used with the public and with children. Most creationists would agree partially with the idea of "descent with modification" in that species we have today look different from the original kinds that God created (i.e., the great variety of dogs we have now compared to the original created dog kind). The advantage with using such a broad definition for evolution is that it can include any and all supporting models of evolution (such as traditional Darwinism, neo-Darwinism, punctuated equilibrium, etc.) and can spark the least amount of controversy in the public eye.
Historical Background on the Discovery of Natural Selection
Many people give credit to Charles Darwin for formulating the theory of natural selection as described in his book On the Origin of Species. Few realize that Darwin only popularized the idea and actually borrowed it from several other people, especially a creationist by the name of Edward Blyth. Blyth published several articles describing the process of natural selection in Magazine of Natural History between 1835 and 1837—a full 22 years before Darwin published his book. It is also known that Darwin had copies of these magazines and that parts of On The Origin of Species are nearly verbatim from Blyth's articles.7
Blyth, however, differed from Darwin in his starting assumptions. Blyth believed in God as the Creator, rather than the blind forces of nature. He believed that God created original kinds, that all modern species descended from those kinds, and that natural selection acted by conserving rather than originating. Blyth also believed that man was a separate creation from animals. This is especially important since humans are made in the image of God, an attribute that cannot be applied to animals (Genesis 1:27). Blyth seemed to view natural selection as a mechanism designed directly or indirectly by God to allow His creation to survive in a post-Fall, post-Flood world. This is very different from Darwin's view. Darwin wrote, "What a book a devil's chaplain might write on the clumsy, wasteful, blundering low and horridly cruel works of nature."8
Is Natural Selection Biblical?
It is important to see natural selection as a mechanism that God used to allow organisms to deal with their changing environments in a sin-cursed world—especially after the Flood. God foreknew that the Fall and the Flood were going to happen, and so He designed organisms with a great amount of genetic diversity that could be selected for or against, resulting in certain characteristics depending on the circumstances. Whether this information was initially part of the original design during Creation Week before the Fall or was added, in part, at the Fall (as a part of the punishment of man and the world by God),9 we can't be certain. Regardless, the great variety of information in the original created kinds can only be attributed to an intelligence—God.
In addition, natural selection works to preserve the genetic viability of the original created kinds by removing from the population those with severely deleterious/lethal characteristics. Natural selection, acting on genetic information, is the primary mechanism that explains how organisms could have survived after the Fall and Flood when the world changed drastically from God's original creation.
Let me take a moment to clarify an important theological point so there is no confusion. Death entered the world as the result of sin. Death, therefore, is in the world as a punishment for man's disobedience to God, and it should remind us that the world is sin-cursed and needs a Savior. Death is not a good thing but is called an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26).
But recall that God, in His infinite wisdom, can make good come out of anything, and death is no exception. God is able to make good come out of even death itself. Natural selection, though fueled by death, helps the population by getting rid of genetic defects, etc. In the same way, without death Christ wouldn't have conquered it and been glorified in His Resurrection.
So what can natural selection accomplish and not accomplish? The table on the next page displays some of the main points.
Natural Selection Can | Natural Selection Cannot |
1. Decrease genetic information. | 1. Increase or provide new genetic information. |
2. Allow organisms to survive better in a given environment. | 2. Allow organisms to evolve from molecules to man. |
3. Act as a "selector." | 3. Act as an "originator." |
4. Support creation's "orchard" of life. | 4. Support evolutionary "tree" of life. |
The evolutionary tree, which postulates that all today's species are descended from one common ancestor (which itself evolved from nonliving chemicals).
The creationist orchard,10 which shows that diversity has occurred within the original Genesis kinds over time.11
Natural Selection and Dogs
Let's illustrate the possibilities and limitations of natural selection using the example of varying fur length of dogs (designed variation).
There are many different dog species—some with long fur and some with short fur. The original dog kind, most likely resembling today's wolf, had several variants of the gene for fur length. L will be the variant of the gene representing long fur, and S will be the variant of the gene representing short fur.
The original dog kind most likely would have been a mixture of the genes specifying fur length, including both L and S. Because of this makeup, they also most likely had the characteristic of medium fur length. When the original kind (LS dogs) mated, their genetic variability could be seen in their offspring in three ways—LL for long fur, LS for medium fur, and SS for short fur.
If two long-fur dogs then mated, the only possible outcome for the offspring is LL, long fur. As can be seen in the example below, the long-fur dogs have lost the S gene variant and are thus not capable of producing dogs with short fur or medium fur. This loss may be an advantage if these long-fur dogs live in an area with cold temperatures. The long-fur dogs would then be naturally selected for, as they would survive better in the given environment. Eventually, the majority of this area's dog population would have long fur.
However, the loss of the S variant could be a disadvantage to the long-fur dogs if the climate became warmer or if the dogs moved to a warmer climate. Because of their decreased genetic variety (no S gene), they would be unable to produce dogs with short fur, which would be needed to survive better in a warm environment. In this situation, the long-fur dogs would be naturally selected against and die.
When the two dogs representing the dog kind came off Noah's Ark and began spreading across the globe, we can see how the variation favored some animals and not others.
Using the points from the table for what natural selection can accomplish (seen above), it can be seen that:
- Through natural selection, genetic information (variety) was lost.
- The long-fur dogs survive better in a cold environment; they are less able to survive in a warm environment and vice versa.
- A particular characteristic in the dog population was selected for.
- Dogs are still dogs since the variation is within the boundaries of "kind."
Natural selection of designed variation within the dog kind is not an example of evolution because it does not lead to the formation of a different kind of animal such as a horse, bear, or human. Instead, it is evidence of God's grace in supplying for His creation in the altered environments of a post-Fall, post-Flood world.
Natural Selection and Bacteria
Another example of natural selection is that of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Such natural selection is commonly portrayed as evolution in action, but in this case, natural selection works in conjunction with mutation rather than designed variation.
Antibiotics are natural products produced by fungi and bacteria, and the antibiotics we use today are typically derivatives of those. Because of this relationship, it is not surprising that some bacteria would have resistance to certain antibiotics; they must do so to be competitive in their environment. In fact, if you took a sample of soil from outside your home, you would find antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
A bacterium can gain resistance through two primary ways:
- By losing genetic information, and
- By using a design feature built in to swap DNA—a bacterium gains resistance from another bacterium that has resistance.
Let's take a look at the first. Antibiotics usually bind a protein in the bacterium and prevent it from functioning properly, killing the bacteria. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have a mutation in the DNA which codes for that protein. The antibiotic then cannot bind to the protein produced from the mutated DNA, and thus, the bacteria live. Although the bacteria can survive well in an environment with antibiotics, it has come at a cost. If the antibiotic-resistant bacteria are grown with the nonmutant bacteria in an environment without antibiotics, the nonmutant bacteria will live and the mutant bacteria will die. This is because the mutant bacteria produce a mutant protein that does not allow them to compete with other bacteria for necessary nutrients. The "supergerms" are really "superwimps."12
Let's clarify this some by looking at the bacteria Helicobacter pylori. Antibiotic-resistant H. pylori have a mutation that results in the loss of information to produce an enzyme. This enzyme normally converts an antibiotic to a poison, which causes death. But when the antibiotics are applied to the mutant H. pylori, these bacteria can live while the normal bacteria are killed. So by natural selection the ones that lost information survive and pass this trait along to their offspring.
Now let's take a look at the second method. A bacterium can get antibiotic resistance by gaining the aforementioned mutated DNA from another bacterium. Unlike you and me, bacteria can swap DNA. It is important to note that this is still not considered a gain of genetic information since the information already exists and that while the mutated DNA may be new to a particular bacterium, it is not new overall.
Using the points from the table for what natural selection can accomplish, it can be seen that:
- Through mutation, genetic information was lost.
- The antibiotic resistant bacteria only survive well in an environment with antibiotics; they are less able to survive in the wild. (It is important to keep in mind that the gain of antibiotic resistance is not an example of a beneficial mutation but rather a beneficial outcome of a mutation in a given environment. These types of mutations are rare in other organisms as offspring are more limited in number; therefore, there is a greater need to preserve genetic integrity.)
- A particular mutation in a bacterial population was selected for.
- H. pylori is still H. pylori. No evolution has taken place to change it into something else—it's still the same bacteria with some variation.
Antibiotic resistance in bacteria, rather than being an example of evolution in action, is another example of natural selection seen properly from a biblical/creationist perspective.
Speciation—A Possible Outcome of Natural Selection
A species can be defined as a population of organisms produced by a parent population that has changed so significantly that it can no longer interbreed with the parent population. Using the example of dogs, it is possible that long-fur dogs might change sufficiently (other changes besides fur might also be selected for living in cold environments) to the point that they can no longer mate with short-fur or mediumfur dogs.
Although evolutionists claim that speciation takes long periods of time (millions of years), they are often amazed at how fast species can be observed to form today. Speciation has been observed to occur in as little as a few years as seen in guppies, lizards, fruit flies, mosquitoes, finches, and mice.13 This observation does not come as a surprise to creationists as all species alive in the past and today would have had to be produced in fewer than 6,000 years from the original created kinds. In fact, such processes (and perhaps other genetic factors) would have occurred rapidly after the Flood, producing variation within each kind. Such effects are largely responsible for generating the tremendous diversity seen in the living world.14
Speciation has never been observed to form an organism of a different kind, such as a dog species producing a cat. Speciation works only within a kind. Evolution requires natural selection and speciation to give rise to new kinds from a former kind (e.g., dinosaurs evolving into birds). Speciation, however, leads to a loss of information, not the gain of information required by evolution. Thus, speciation as a possible outcome of natural selection cannot be used as a mechanism for molecules-to-man evolution.
When discussing natural selection as a possible mechanism for evolution, it is important to define terms. Evolutionists and biblical creationists view these terms differently, but it comes down to how we interpret the evidence in light of our foundation. Do we view natural selection using God's Word as our foundation, or do we use man's truth as our foundation?
The creationist view of natural selection is supported biblically and scientifically. Natural selection is a God-ordained process that allows organisms to survive in a post-Fall, post-Flood world. It is an observable reality that occurs in the present and takes advantage of the variations within the kinds and works to preserve the genetic viability of the kinds.
Simply put, the changes that are observed today show variation within the created kind—a horizontal change. For a molecules-to-man evolutionary model, there must be a change from one kind into another—a vertical change. This is simply not observed. We have never seen a bacterium like H. pylori give rise to something like a dog. Instead, we simply observe variations within each created kind.
Evolution requires an increase in information that results in a directional movement from molecules to man. Natural selection cannot be a mechanism for evolution because it results in a decrease in information and is not directional. Speciation may occur as a result of natural selection, but it only occurs within a kind. Therefore, it is also not a mechanism for evolution but rather supports the biblical model.
Natural selection cannot be the driving force for molecules-to-man evolution when it does not have that power, nor should it be confused with molecules-to-man evolution. It is an observable phenomenon that preserves genetic viability and allows limited variation within a kind—nothing more, nothing less. It is a great confirmation of the Bible's history.

What are Word Walls?
A word wall is an organized collection of words prominently displayed in a classroom. This display is used as an interactive tool for teaching reading and spelling to children. There are many different types of word walls including high frequency words, word families, names, alphabet and "doozers".
What is its purpose?
Word walls have many benefits. They teach children to recognize and spell high frequency words, see patterns and relationship in words build phonemic awareness skills and apply phonics rules. Word walls also provide reference support for children during reading and writing activities. Children learn to be independent as they use the word walls in daily activities.
Word walls can also be used:
How do I do it?
How can I adapt it?
Activities in word walls are designed to be multilevel.
On-The-Back Activities are designed to extend knowledge of the Word Wall words and to help students learn to spell other words.
Types of Word Walls
Assessing Progress
"Good assessment is an on-going activity. Teachers watch children in a variety of reading and writing situations. They notice what strategies children are using and what they need to move them forward." (page 66 Month-by-Month Phonics for First Grade by P.M. Cunningham & D.P. Hall)

The Nordic company sets out to be the world's best pension provider in 2010.
It is not often that it is entirely appropriate to bring in football - or soccer for US readers - into writing about pension funds. But in the case of Denmark's ATP, one of the largest pension providers in the country, it is entirely relevant. ATP, it seems, has the same goal as the Danish national football team, namely to become the world champion in 2010.
Bjarne Graven LarsenATP has long stated its aim of becoming the best pension provider in the world in 2010. That is bold talk, particularly from the normally self-effacing Scandinavians, but having weathered the storm of the past few years without having to touch its reserves, perhaps they are able to achieve what they have set out to do.
In 2009, ATP, which manages $73 billion, returned 8.5% as a...

It was our 11th year wedding
anniversary and my husband and I wanted to try out Kata Robata. We had great service, spectacular food and the night was magical! Thank you Kata Robata for making our night so enjoyable!!!"

Went for Sunday lunch. Happy hour
menu provided very good value. Food great as usual."
Dined on 3/2/2014
I travel to Japan frequently, and
this is one of the few places in Houston where I enjoy sushi. I took my wife and daughter on Saturday night (make reservations early as the peak times fill up fast) and we had a great evening."
Dined on 3/1/2014
We love Kata Robata! They are
consistent with great quality and amazing food and drink. This is our favorite sushi restaurant in Houston!"
Dined on 2/19/2014
We were excited for the Mac and
cheese but honestly, it wasn't all that. My spicy soy ramen was ok, the rolls were good but we were seated near a family that had a loud child. It's was good."
Dined on 2/26/2014
I think chef Hori takes the day
off on Sundays, which is when we often go to Kata, but the standard of the food and service remains as high as ever. We had Aji, kinmedai, anago and chu-toro sushi - all sensational, along with uni charwanmushi, steamed mussels in sake, lobster salad, king crab spoon, slow-cooked wagyu beef skewer, snapper kama, and Texas Hamachi sushi rolls. Everything was absolutely perfectly cooked and delicious - one of the best meals we have eaten during 4 years in Houston - in fact one of the best meals we have eaten, period."
Dined on 2/23/2014
Food was slow to come out which
was fine cause it was a pretty lax atmosphere. Needed more waiters...our waitress was handling half the restaurant and another guy the other half. Bartender was too busy giving wine to this one guy and chatting with him to bother helping us. And the other two guys who cleaned the tables and refilled waters looked kind of lost at times."
Dined on 2/23/2014
Service was great. Sushi was
delicious. GREAT selection of Sake and wine (no cheap stuff here!)."
Dined on 2/23/2014
My boyfriend and I like to come
here for birthdays and anniversaries. This past experience was even better than the rest. We usually ask for 4-6 piece of sushi to be omakase (chef's choice) in which the sushi chefs give us fish that has been flown in that day. I don't like to eat fish that was too fishy tasting so they did a wonderful job of choosing for us. you will never go wrong with the foie gras and duck chwanmushi, foie gras and scallop sushi, hamachi sushi Texas style. These are a must for us. Also, I wanted to mention that we tried their bone marrow for the first time and it took a whole longer than expected and the manager give it to us for free without us even complaining. Can't wait to one back!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
My boyfriend and I came here on
Saturday for date night and we loved every minute of it. We were seated at the sushi bar and had the ten course Omikase. Oh my.. I cannot even begin to describe how good every plate was. The chef's selection was fabulous and had all the high-end items one would expect like US cavier, bluefin toro, unni, Kobe beef, etc. We both left extremely full and satisfied. It was totally worth the $110 per person. Highly recommended! This was my boyfriend's first time at Kata and he said he wants to eat here every time he's in Houston."

Since I have celiac disease I was
delighted to find menu items indicated gluten free dishes. Our waiter was also very knowledgeable about gluten free foods. My robata squid was wonderful. It was almost tender. There are great Happy Hour specials for food and drinks."
Dined on 2/22/2014
Great Sushi, too crowded and
noisy....the sushi bar is the best place to be I think....less hectic!"
Dined on 2/22/2014
So, great menu, great service -
small portions vis-a-viz the competition vs. cost; particularly cut of fish per portion, fish quality not amazing, rolls loosely pulled together - lots of peanut oil on anything cooked; salad tasted like it was in the freezer. Okay, not as great as one would expect given their reputation."
Dined on 2/21/2014
I go often to Kata Robata. I went
with a colleague, first time for her. We ordered several things. I mentioned the tuna was not good. First time this happens BUT no respect for the client as usual. They put the tuna on the bill. I go because they have the fish in town but I do not understand the lack of respect."

over the past 16-18 months. The food was good but not nearly as good as prior visits. Either Kata Robata is going downhill or a greater degre of variability has arisen in the kitchen. The place is very popular and sometimes that in itself can lead to a decline. Not sure I will return again."
Dined on 2/20/2014
I like to come here for lunch to
have ramen, namely the spicy soy ramen -- it is excellent. Parking can sometimes be an issue, but it will work itself out with patience."
Dined on 2/10/2014
The service was friendly and the
sushi was quite good. I have so complaints. Very easy to have a conversation"
Dined on 2/14/2014
the wait was minimal but we had
reservations. the server seemed extremely busy so service could have improved, but food came out in a timely manner."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Showed up for my reservation and
was told my table would be ready in 45 minutes...."
Dined on 2/13/2014
Kata Robata has a very impressive
menu and I was very excited to dine there but after trying all of the food ordered, I was left disappointed; everything could have been a lot better if it was done right. We ordered 4 dishes and none of them worth the price of admission. The hamachi with jalapenos but it was incredibly unbalanced. There was too much olive oil and it overwhelmed the whole dish. It desperately needed some sort of acid to brighten the dish. The eggplant had a delicious sauce but was unfortunately still crunchy and under cooked. The bone marrow was plentiful but lacked that beef essence you expect - very under seasoned. The vegetable sushi was uninspired and overall fairly bland. I would not return or recommend Kata Robata."
Dined on 2/15/2014
This was my second visit and I
enjoyed it as much as I did the first. Even on a Monday night, they don't skimp on good service. The best Kobe beef (on skewers)."
Dined on 2/10/2014
I was quite nervous at being asked
to pick a restaurant for a dinner with a professional colleague whom I hoped to impress and who had just recently tried sushi for the first time. Kata Robata was a hit--both he and his guest raved about the food, the wine and sake, and the ambience. I will absolutely be dining there again and I strongly suspect that my dinner guests will too!"
Dined on 2/9/2014
Chef Victor (sushi chef) and chef
Cyrus (sous chef) both offered a tremendous array of well thought-out and balanced dishes. Everything was catered to our preferences and requests. Our server, Evan, was attentive and happy to explain each dish in detail without any hesitation. Will definitely be back soon!"
Dined on 2/9/2014
Couldn't be more pleased! Food was
outstanding, sushi was so fresh, server was kind and knowledgeable, and I loved how they served each dish one at a time so we could truly appreciate and savor it. No one rushed us. I will go back many times!"
Dined on 2/8/2014
We don't eat Sushi often and
weren't sure what to order. We had the manager order for us. He gave us a wide-variety of plates, and items we never would have tried on our own. It opened our eyes and palate to new foods. The service was fantastic. We'll be back."
Dined on 2/8/2014
Service was excellent and the food
was very good. The Kobe beef skewers were delicious and the Portuguese octopus was a tasty surprise. You also can't go wrong with duck dumplings in a delicious ramen."
Dined on 2/7/2014
Our experience at Kata was
outstanding. Probably the best service and food we've had so far in Houston."
Dined on 2/7/2014
I love the food here. Their bone
marrow is divine and their sushi is so fresh. Its my second time here and I highly recommend this place to everyone."
Dined on 2/3/2014
We had not been to Kata Robata in
a number of years but were glad to find that nothing has changed! The 72 hour kobe beef robata skewer was absolutely to die for! We tried a number of rolls that were pretty good but the lobster mac and cheese was beyond delicious! Such a surprise for a well-known sushi restaurant!"
Dined on 2/1/2014
I would highly recommend that you
try the Chef's omakase- there is a totally different level of experience that you may are missing. The regular menu is very good but the omakase is a unique experience. It's worth every Penny. Young and creative Chef Hori (Manabu Horiuchi) is one of the top chefs in the world right now, and this is just the beginning for him."
Dined on 1/31/2014
Great presentation and authentic
flavor. I had the ramen special and it was perfect for a cold winter day in Houston. Staff was very professional and lunch menu had enough diversity to satisfy the most discriminating eater."
Dined on 1/27/2014
Best sushi in Houston! Go early if
you want a seat."
Dined on 1/25/2014
This restaurant never disappoints
for fabulous food."

We went there for lunch and the
service was great and the food even better. Bento boxes are very reasonable. Because we made a reservation with open table, we didn't have to wait!!!!"
Dined on 1/21/2014
So many choices of delicious items
to choose from. You won't be disappointed!"
Dined on 1/18/2014
My favorite lunch restaurant! Good
selection and variety of choices. Bento box is a great deal. The Kobe beef just melts in your mouth and has so much taste. It also comes with seaweed salad, fried tofu, California roll, and grilled chicken. Daily sushi lunch special is also great; always very fresh and tasty sushi."
Dined on 1/17/2014
Freshness and selection. hands
down one of the top 3 in a city packed with amazing sushi restaurants."

Dined on 1/15/2014
I came here with my man friend for
happy hour before I had to send him off to Atlanta. Our server was at our table within a minute of us being seated and went over the menus with us. The ambiance is very modern and they dim the lights at one point to make it a more intimate feel. For drinks, I ordered the crafted pimms and it had a nice kick to it! Definitely order this drink if you like spicy. Note worthy dishes were: - soft shell and salmon roll - kimchi chicken karaage ( the sauce under the chicken was delicious) - oyster mushroom (2 skewers) - ceviche (it only has about 5 small pieces of fish) Overall, was an excellent dining experience with the server being attentive and quickly taking empty plates away. Will definitely return."

If you have been following my blog, you will know I'm a huge fan of Skin Food BB creams. Who knew two years after I discovered this magical product, a sample of its American equivalent, Dr Denese SPF30 Defense Day Cream, made its way to my door?
Before I jump right into the review, let us look at what the Dr Denese SPF30 Defense Day Cream is all about:
• Intensely hydrates the skin with a blend of oil-free moisturizers, antioxidants and zinc-oxide
• Naturally tinted with self-adjusting melanin technology to provide instant, sheer coverage that's flawless, hydrated and even
• Provides SPF 30 broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection to help prevent wrinkles, lines, and age spots
• A triple threat: your moisturizer, foundation and sunscreen all in one!
Sounds just like your typical BB cream doesn't it? Now let's take a closer look at the product:
While most BB creams have a liquid, creamy texture, the SPF 30 Defense Day Cream feels buttery and fluffy. On my dehydrated combo skin, I don't find it to be very moisturizing but it does go on very smoothly without accentuating dry patches. It also gets absorbed into the skin easily and feels so light you can't even tell you are wearing makeup.
Although there is only one shade available (a medium beige color), it contains Melanin, the inherent color pigment of the skin so it will self-adjust to match any skin color. I tried using this on both my face and the back of my hand, and guess what, it does seem to match both areas completely. Color-wise, I actually prefer this over BB creams since BB creams tend to run really light and can create a "whiter" face in pictures.
As for coverage, the SPF 30 Defense Day Cream is definitely on the sheer side, just like BB creams. It evens out the skin but will not cover everything completely. The finish is very natural, velvety and slightly more matte compared to BB creams.
Can you even tell I have it on?
Overall, I really like the product. It evens out my skin nicely and is so easy to use! Plus it makes wearing sunscreen *so* painless! Loves loves loves!
The Dr. Denese SPF 30 Defense Day Cream is available at www.drdenese.com at $49 for a 6oz jar or $34 for a 1.5oz tube.

Photo: Rob Howard A day after my conversation with the Obamas, I headed up to Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, to interview Mitt and Ann Romney at their vacation home—six bedrooms and a guesthouse—right on Lake Winnipesaukee. Since I'd never met the former Massachusetts governor or his wife, I didn't know what to expect, but I was happily enveloped by a strong family vibe the minute I walked in. Two of their five sons were there, plus a few daughters-in-law and a passel of grandkids—in swimsuits, reaching for slices of watermelon on the table outside, running to their granddad and hugging him around the waist. Cute little kids just seemed to keep coming out of every nook and corner!
There was a big boat in a slip right out front, a trampoline on the lawn, what looked like 100 bikes in the shed, and a kitchen stocked with Ann's homemade goodies, including her famous Welsh skillet cakes. You can tell that a lot of family fun happens here. But that's not the Romneys' only mode. For a while now, Ann has been balancing the details of family life with her battle against multiple sclerosis, with which she was diagnosed in 1998. And the Republican presidential nominee, although a devoted husband, father, and grandfather, is probably best known as a very successful businessman who believes he can bring that expertise to running the country (when I arrived, he had just returned from a four-day campaign swing through Colorado, Texas, Montana, and Wyoming). With twilight approaching and the little ones happily scattered here and there, we settled into the comfy lakefront living room full of framed photos of the tight-knit clan and began.

Chelsea 1-2 Manchester City: Aguero goal secures FA Cup final berth for Mancini's men
Rafael Benitez's team lose for the first time in eight FA Cup matches at Wembley after being overwhelmed by their notably fresher opponents for the vast majority of the match
Manchester City out-powered a jaded Chelsea to clinch a 2-1 FA Cup semi-final win and book their second final appearance in three years.
Goals from Samir Nasri and Sergio Aguero put City two goals up after 47 minutes but Demba Ba's hooked volley midway through the second period guaranteed a riveting finale.
City held firm to end Chelsea's notable run of seven consecutive FA Cup Wembley wins, including final triumphs in four of the six previous seasons.
City are building a creditable record of their own in the world's oldest cup competition and the 2011 winners remain on course to salvage a trophy from what has been an underwhelming campaign.
Roberto Mancini's team will be the strong favourites to lift their second cup in three years when they face Wigan Athletic here again in the final on May 11.
Despite Chelsea's late comeback, City were good value for their second distinguished 2-1 triumph of the week, with Yaya Toure at his buccaneering best in central midfield.The match was played in good spirit and, thankfully, there was no repeat of the disharmony in the stands that marked Saturday's semi-final, when Millwall's fans traded punches with one another while their team slid to defeat to Wigan.
Once again, Rafa Benitez rang the changes to contend with Chelsea's punishing schedule, making seven alterations to the team that started against Rubin Kazan in Moscow less than 72 hours earlier. Branislav Ivanovic, Ryan Bertrand, John Obi Mikel, Eden Hazard, Juan Mata, Oscar and Demba Ba came in for John Terry, Paulo Ferreira, Frank Lampard, Yossi Benayoun, Victor Moses, Nathan Ake and Fernando Torres.
By contrast, Roberto Mancini made only two changes from the team that won Monday's Manchester derby but they were both notable ones. Sergio Aguero replaced the injured David Silva, while Costel Pantilimon was surprisingly given the nod over Joe Hart to maintain his sequence of playing every minute of the club's FA Cup run this season.
It was all City early on as the 2011 winners carried on from where they had left off at Old Trafford six days earlier.
Aguero and Tevez both came close to scoring but, despite all their dominance, it was Chelsea who nearly took the lead after 23 minutes.
Pantilimon was left stranded after he had raced out of his goal only to get nowhere near Juan Mata's free kick, but the Romanian's blushes were spared when Eden Hazard's volley was cleared off the line by Vincent Kompany.
Toure was at the heart of City's best moves and it was the big Ivorian who grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck after 35 minutes to set up the opening goal.
Spotting a gap in the middle of the vast Wembley pitch, Toure charged forward in the bulldozing manner that only he can and then rolled the ball into the path of Tevez, who laid it off to Nasri. The Frenchman was fortunate that his first touch deflected off Cesar Azpilicueta and back to him but he was utterly ruthless at the second attempt, calmly lifting the ball over Petr Cech.
On the stroke of half-time, Kompany should have prompted a second mass Poznan but, perhaps exhausted after racing upfield to support a counterattack, the City skipper side-footed wide from 15 yards.
Chelsea's players were first back on the pitch after the break, but once again it was City who were quickest out of the starting blocks.
Two minutes into the second period, Gareth Barry was afforded too much space to float a tantalising cross into the area and Aguero, wrestling free of the attention of Ivanovic and Azpilicueta, accepted the invitation with the most precise of headers. There was not much pace on either Barry's cross or Aguero's finish, but the Argentine's effort was so devastatingly accurate that Cech barely moved a muscle in goal.
Bizarrely, Rafa Benitez waited 16 minutes before introducing Fernando Torres and throwing caution to the wind. It paid immediate dividends.
With two forwards to contend with, City failed to deal with a hopeful long ball and Ba, in a manner reminiscent of his brilliant winner in the quarter-final replay against Manchester United 13 days previously, hooked a splendidly acrobatic volley past Pantimilon.
Suddenly, the comeback was on and City were rocked. Pantilimon was not exactly radiating authority but he did brilliantly block another effort from Ba and then to claw away the ball from Mata just as the Spaniard was about to pull the trigger in the penalty area.
With 10 minutes left, Toure almost made the game safe for City but he shot narrowly wide from the edge of the box.
Aguero was then fortunate to avoid a red card after he appeared to launch into a two-footed lunge on a prone David Luiz. Referee Chris Foy failed to spot the incident, and he was again in Chelsea's bad books two minutes from time when Kompany pulled the shirt of Torres as the Spaniard bore down on goal.
Hazard fired the Blues' last chance high into the Wembley crowd in stoppage time as Mancini's men held on to earn their place in the final.

Microsoft's update system is changing files on both Windows XP and Windows Vista -- even if a user disables automatic updates. Microsoft, however, calls it built-in behavior and no cause for alarm.
As reported by Scott Dunn of the Windows Secrets Web site, Windows Update recently made changes to nine files on each OS, without the usual dialog box asking for permission to alter files.
Dunn quoted a poster on a Microsoft communities forum detailing the patches. The poster said:
"In Vista, the following files are updated: 1. wuapi.dll 2. wuapp.exe 3. wuauclt.exe 4. wuaueng.dll 5. wucltux.dll 6. wudriver.dll 7. wups.dll 8. wups2.dll 9. wuwebv.dll In XP, the following files are updated: 1. cdm.dll 2. wuapi.dll 3. wuauclt.exe 4. wuaucpl.cpl 5. wuaueng.dll 6. wucltui.dll 7. wups.dll 8. wups2.dll 9. wuweb.dll"
"In Vista, the following files are updated:
1. wuapi.dll 2. wuapp.exe 3. wuauclt.exe 4. wuaueng.dll 5. wucltux.dll 6. wudriver.dll 7. wups.dll 8. wups2.dll 9. wuwebv.dll
In XP, the following files are updated:
1. cdm.dll 2. wuapi.dll 3. wuauclt.exe 4. wuaucpl.cpl 5. wuaueng.dll 6. wucltui.dll 7. wups.dll 8. wups2.dll 9. wuweb.dll"
The updates are upgrades to the Windows Update service itself, and are not harmful to a system.
Nate Clinton, program manager for Windows Update, admitted in a blog posting that Windows Update can bypass user-defined behavior. "The Windows Update client is configured to automatically check for updates anytime a system uses the WU service, independent of the selected settings for handling updates (for example, 'check for updates but let me choose whether to download or install them'). This has been the case since we introduced the automatic update feature in Windows XP. In fact, WU has auto-updated itself many times in the past," Clinton wrote.
Eric Schultze, chief security architect at Saint Paul, Minn.-based Shavlik Technologies, isn't thrilled with Microsoft's lack of disclosure. "As an IT admin, it would concern me that my machines were waking up and connecting to Microsoft without my knowledge," said Schultze, himself a former Microsoft employee.
Schultze also said that "Microsoft should have announced this and let people know ... Shame on Microsoft for not documenting the fact that the updating service can update itself."
It's a point that Clinton concedes in his post: "The point of this explanation is not to suggest that we were as transparent as we could have been; to the contrary, people have told us that we should have been clearer on how Windows Update behaves when it updates itself. This is helpful and important feedback, and we are now looking at the best way to clarify WU's behavior to customers so that they can more clearly understand how WU works."
Although Schultze said he has problems with Microsoft's communications in this case, he doesn't think the auto updating without permission is necessarily a bad thing for a corporation. "They're not installing updates; they're simply correcting the issue of updating the update infrastructure," he said. "IT administrators at corporations wouldn't be particularly upset at what happened here."
Dunn, of Windows Secrets, sees it differently: "For users who elect not to have updates installed automatically, the issue of consent is crucial. Microsoft has apparently decided, however, that it doesn't need permission to patch Windows Updates files, even if you've set your preferences to require it," he wrote.

This is planned behavior? Every un-intended re-boot is a System Crash! What are they thinking...
I use Windows Media Center as a DVR and every time windows updates itself it interferes with the operation as a DVR, especially when it reboots. Microsoft should learn that NO MEANS NO! Shame on you Microsoft!
Unless the EULA includes this updating, it may be against some state laws that explicitly prohibit altering a PC's files without the owner's permission - thin ice, if you ask me...
MS Should have disclosed that the Update system, in fact, updates itself and allows for admins to shut that off. However, I fail to see a system that automatically protects itself (given that it is one of the two platforms, Windows and LINUX, that have a high attack profile) as a reason to switch OS'. All of a sudden it brings legions of morons out of the wood-work to shout "switch to linux, switch to linux!!" without understanding that moving large and entrenched systems takes vast quantities of money, time and man-hours. Not just for moving the platforms and Apps, but retraining those people who use them (not to mention having to rebuild and possibly rewrite some of the apps and systems). I bet $100 most of the people who write this crap, have a small number of linux boxes at home and are arm chair quarterbacking and have no real clue how to run a large system with hundred or thousand of users and dozen to hundreds of systems (if not thousands).Besides... if you want a better, more stable and slightly more secure platorm then Windows or Linux... install BSD or Solaris x86... god... even MacOS for that matter...
Linux, Redhat, anything but Windows
This scorches me. This is unethical.
I'm unfortunate to have a slow Internet connection as it is. I don't need the bandwidth wasted by something I never knew about. Least now I can explain why it would be so randomly slower than normal. Seconded on Linux.
Linux Conspiracy Theorists at their finest.
Move along! These are not the droids you're looking for! These are not the Patches you are looking for!
Ah, yet another reason to either switch or stay with Linux...

D.C. police union head seeks hearing on 911 system
Thursday - 4/25/2013, 3:57pm  ET
WASHINGTON -- The head of the D.C. police officers' union is requesting a review of the District's emergency dispatch system.
Kris Baumann wrote in a letter to Councilmember Tommy Wells on Thursday that systemic failures, such as inaccurate information being provided by dispatchers to officers, could open the door to a "major breakdown or a tragedy."
He says dispatchers are routinely too overloaded to be able to help officers immediately and don't always provide even basic information when requested. Baumann is asking for an oversight hearing to address some of these problems.
Wells is the chairman of the Council's public safety committee. His chief of staff said Wells had not immediately had a chance to review the letter.

Bolivian President on the Daily Show
I recently discovered that the first indigenous president of Bolivia, Evo Morales, was on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart about three years ago. The interview is relatively short, especially because there is lag time throughout the interview to translate between English and Spanish, but it provides a nice snapshot of Morales' political views, which have had an indelible impact on Bolivia's recent history.
You can view the interview by navigating to this website.

"I was actually just checking to see if this recipe is already on the site -- and here it is! So easy and very good. I've used light sour cream, and just mixed the eggs and sour cream with a whisk, and it turned out fine with those changes. In my oven it takes at least 25 minutes. Thanks for sharing this recipe."
"My husband and I thought these turned our really well, crunchy and flavorful. Unfortunately our kids weren't as excited as we were about them."
"We liked this. I will try it again sometime. I mixed the sauce and the cauliflower together, but it ended up being too saucy. I will probably cut the cheese sauce amount in half next time."
"Thought this was really nice. It was different then our usual, but very mild, and the color was beautiful. I will make this again. Thank you."
"I had no idea caramel corn was so easy! It does take some time (mine baked the full 40 minutes), but that is probably a good thing so I don't make it all the time... very hard to stop munching this. I used mushroom popcorn. I was pleased with how crispy it turned out! Thank you for the recipe!"

Nifty solar-powered gizmos
by Yusef Najafi and Todd Franson
Published on July 24, 2008, 12:00am | Comments
If calculators and watches are what come to mind when thinking about solar-powered devices, you've got some of catching up to do. Our lucky little planet is bathed in sunlight that powers a world of sunbeam gadgets.
The Panel Pack
Available in silver, green, orange and charcoal, the Voltaic Backpack has many uses. Its most impressive, however, is the backpack's ability to offer four watts of solar power acquired from its array of waterproof solar panels. The backpack features 11 adaptors that are compatible with most handheld electronics, including cameras, cell phones and mp3 players. If that's not eco-friendly enough for you, its fabric is made from recycled soda bottles. Available at www.voltaicsystems.com for $249.
Singing in the Sun
The highly evolved Arius Solar Powered Wireless Outdoor Speaker performs for up to 10 hours once its rechargeable battery is fully charged with sunlight (or a power adapter for fast charge). The 15-watt speaker is weatherproof and can be linked by its included transmitter to almost any audio source, up to 150 feet away. It even comes with a remote. Available at www.lnt.com for $199.99.
Sun in a Jar
Regardless of what you store inside the Sun Jar, chances are beauty will glow on the outside at the end of the day. That's because ''Smart'' light sensors inside the Sun Jar automatically light up a yellow glow when then the sun goes down to transform this jar into a nighttime porch lamp. The jar closes watertight and can handle most weather conditions; $44.99. Night owls might want to spring for the Moon Jar, which glows in blue. $39.99. www.target.com.

Public Works Operations Manager Neil Martin was arrested Wednesday, May 27, at Whitney Beach Deli & Wines, 6852 Gulf of Mexico Drive, for disorderly intoxication and verbally abusing Longboat Key police officers and restaurant patrons.
Town Manager Bruce St. Denis has placed Martin, who has 31 years of service with the town, on unpaid administrative leave while the incident is under investigation.
Martin, 54, and another public works employee were drinking alcohol at the restaurant for approximately one-and-a-half hours before Martin was arrested about 8 p.m. Wednesday, according to restaurant employees.
The incident did not take place during Public Works work hours.
According to the police report, restaurant employees said Martin and the town employee consumed "significant amounts of alcohol" before Martin was cut off after spilling a drink.
Whitney Beach Deli & Wines owner Andrew Hlwya told police that Martin became loud in the bar and verbally abusive to a restaurant patron after being told he would no longer be served.
Martin and the town employee attempted to leave in the employee's car, but a restaurant employee stopped them, took the car keys and called a taxi.
When police officer Doug Coffman and Capt. Pete Cumming arrived on the scene, they discovered Martin and the town employee sitting in the car.
Martin began to yell and curse at both police officers. Martin was arrested after several attempts to calm him down were unsuccessful.
Police Chief Al Hogle called the incident "an unfortunate situation."
"It was a matter of two town employees having a great time and one of them causing a lot of racket," Hogle said.
The town employee accepted a cab ride home and is back at work today.
Martin was transported to Manatee County jail and charged with disorderly intoxication. He was charged with a $50 misdemeanor at the Manatee County Clerk of Circuit Court Thursday, May 28.

Historical records matching James Walker
Immediate Family
About James Walker
James Walker (son of James Walker and Elizabeth Browne) was born 1619 in St Andrews, Weymouth, Dorset, England, and died 15 Feb 1691/92 in Taunton, Bristol, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth Phillips on Abt. 1643 in Taunton, Bristol County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, daughter of William Phillips and Elizabeth Parker.
Includes NotesNotes for James Walker: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~batemanp/james_walker.htm
James Walker appears in the list of those in 1643 giving in the value of their estates. His name is next to that of the "Widow," and the amount is Ð50, but it is subjoined that his share is "now John Ffitches." He however forfeited his lots to the town in 1644, in accordance with an order enacted by the proprietors in 1643, that those who did not fence their lands, or remove there with their families, should forfeit their lots. His name however, is mentioned in one division of lands afterward, viz, that of 1645. It is probable however, that he never removed to Rehoboth, but concluded to remain in Taunton. Mr. John Browne, whose lots were forfeited at the same date with James Walker's lived in Taunton at the time, and was his "cousin" (uncle). Thus connected with the "Widow" and Mr. Browne, who was also one of the original Proprietors of Rehoboth, having been the agent of the company, while in Weymouth, and appointed by the Court at Plymouth, to make the purchase of Asameeum the Indian Chief, James Walker very naturally became associated with the settlement. Accordingly neither their names nor that of Mr. Browne is found in the list of the company that went from Weymouth. The strongest reason, however, for concluding he was of "Widow Walker's" family, is found in the fact that when Deacon Phillip Walker died in 1679, James was about 60 years of age, it is beyond a reasonable doubt that he was not only nearly related to Phillip, but was his brother, and accordingly was the son of "Widow Walker."
James Walker, although not one of the original purchasers, joined the settlement early, probably while in his minority. His name first appears in the list of 1643 as being subject to military duty. He was admitted a freeman in 1650. Rev. James B.R. Walker, in his history of the Walker family, expresses the belief that he was the youth of fifteen years, who, with his sister "Sarra," aged seventeen, embarked in London, April 15, 1635, in the "Elizabeth" for this country. They were called servants to Mr. John Browne. He was doubtless their uncle, although in his deed to James Walker and John Tisdale, which has been given in another place, he calls Walker his cousin. Rev. Mr. Walker also believes that the brother and sister were the children of the Widow Walker who settled in Rehoboth. James Walker married Elizabeth, the daughter of William Phillips, and his sister married John Tisdale. He was constable of the town in 1652 and 1685. He was chosen a deputy in 1654, and served fourteen years in that capacity, the last year being 1679. He was one of the board of selectmen eight years, 1666 being the first and 1679 the last year of his service. He was also one of the Town Council in 1667 and 1676. In 1662 he was authorized to administer oaths and to marry persons. In 1664 he was an excise officer, in 1671 an inspector of ordinaries, and in 1677 one of the committee appointed to distribute the contributions of Irish Christians among the sufferers by the Indian war. It will be seen by this enumeration that he was an important man in the town. In other parts of this history this fact still further appears. For his second wife he married Sarah, the widow of Edward Rew, and daughter of John Richmond, Sr. He died Feb. 15, 1691, aged seventy-three years, and was buried in the Walker burying-ground, in the southerly part of the city, between Somerset Avenue and the Great River.
When (King) Philip escaped from Mt. Hope, In 1675, a part of his warriors scattered in the wilderness, about Taunton, and burnt the houses of James Walker, and John Tisdale, his brother in law. John Tisdale was killed, and 2 other soldiers, who were from Eastham. Though Baylies states this as in 1675, may not the "two houses" burnt July 11th, 1676, have been those of James Walker and John Tisdale. It is known that John Tisdlale was killed June 27, 1676.
