Uh... the human eye?
I'm trying, I really am! I haven't even gotten to respond to your last comment further up because I run out of time for long posts as soon as I get that far down the page. I don't know much about the human eye, so I'm actually going to have to do some research to answer your question, and it might be a while before I have a chance to do that. Sorry!
You were having that conversation with Troglodyte, go bug him!
Here. I accidentally linked to the wrong comment. Sue me.
All I did was tell you to go bother the person the post actually applied to. If you linked the wrong one that's fine, but I was hardly being bitchy.
Well, I do. Thought we were having a decent back and forth. Guess I'll have to rethink that.
I can now see why the others see you as arrogant and condescending. Don't bother replying. It really doesn't matter anymore.
I'm sorry I upset you, I honestly didn't mean to. Being called bitchy really caught me by surprise, and suggesting that it had to do with the time of month was not polite. For my part, if "bug" is considered particularly inflammatory language here on NB, I'll try to tone it down!
As should be you. And it was troglodyt Idiot. No E. Can't get a tiny fact like that right despite it being posted in clear sight on this page but yeah, we are supposed to trust you being right on the big stuff. Huh? Idiot.
Now Shut Up and Go Away.
You said you'd get to it days ago; I was just reminding you. Please, keep calm- there's no need for exclamation marks. LOL
I don't usually just link, but that's a really good, quick summary. The important part is where they say that we have examples of all of those hypothesized early stages existing right now in living species. So while we are guessing at what specifically led to our eyes, we are basing those guesses on things we know exist now and so could have existed in the past and conferred a slight survival advantage on the individuals possessing them.
What's most interesting to me about eyes is the fact that there are so many different kinds, some of which are more effective than others. Evolutionarily that makes sense-- if a species doesn't need a better eye, then it wouldn't evolve one, but even if it could get an advantage from a better eye, it only happens if the species is lucky enough to get the mutations that lead to one. From a design perspective, though, that doesn't make sense. Why would a designer give some species great eyes and some crappy ones even though they could use better eyes?
You said above: "Amazing. I suggest that there could be infinite universes, some of which held life and some of which didn't, and you guys think that I can't imagine other universes which would hold life different from us, and that I am a narcissist for thinking that humans are the pinnacle."
Could God exist?
But I have no reason to think he does. I can't disprove God, anymore than you could prove him. According to D'Souza, the guy I'm supposed to be reading, this apparently makes me an agnostic, not a true atheist, but I consider myself an atheist. I am completely satisfied with the increasing sphere of knowledge that encompasses material explanations for life and the universe, so I don't believe in God. I follow Okham's razor, the simplest explanation is the best, and therefore I shouldn't assume God exists if I don't have to in order to explain the facts of the world.
But I think Okham's razor is actually at the heart of the debate between religious and secular explanations for life, because what constitutes "simplest" is a matter of perspective. For someone raised to consider the possibility of God, the explanation that religion offers sounds far simpler and more elegant than the scientific explanation. However, if you grow up without that assumption and tend to approach the world materially, then God is kind of the biggest, most egregious assumption you could possibly make, and material explanations are far simpler.
In the end, I think that's where these conversations always break down. Oh, and I'm not calling religious people stupid. Simple is good in this paradigm, I'm not trying to claim that religious people want life to be simple and scientists want it to be complex. If you are following Okham's razor, everyone should want it to be simple, and the difference is just which perspective seems simplest.
in my view, is inherently flawed in the application of historical research. It suits evolutionists fine though: A) Identify the hole, B) find something that might fit there, C) write a narrative that works, and D) voila! a new puzzle piece. Simple.
And yet that flies in the face of the claim that scientists are looking to find evidence that disproves, or doesn't fit the theory. You can't have it both ways.
Okham's razor should be used to discriminate between competing hypotheses, not to generate hypotheses. You should have some reason other than simplicity to propose an explanation. But when there are multiple theories that all fit the data and you can't tell between them any other way, you should go with the one that make the fewest assumptions, because assumptions are error risks. If you get new information that disqualifies a theory because it doesn't fit, Okham's Razor can't be used to rescue that theory.
Except that for evolutionists, there are no competing hypothesis. It's accepted as fact, so any find that remotely supports this accepted science is then wedged into place.
Oh, one scientist may claim that such an event occurred in a different time frame or manner than another, but the overriding principle is not challenged. Again, it's the same as AGW; everything proves it according to advocates.
Impugning the methods and motives of a whole field of scientists based on your mistaken impression of what "evolutionists" are like. I don't think that's what happens. It takes momentum for ideas that are outside the norm to get accepted, but that's just human nature. I could argue that you are doing the exact same kind of dismissal and shoehorning in your attempts to avoid having to accept that evolution is a valid explanation for life. You grasp at every possible alternate explanation and ignore things that don't fit your viewpoint. It's what people do.
And that's why we have the scientific method, and the peer review system, and the concept of replicability, and all manner of other cultural aspects of science that are designed to safeguard against pet theories. If evolution is in fact the wrong theory, I believe in that process, and I think that the truth will out. If it hasn't yet, that doesn't mean it won't, but it does mean that I'm going to continue operating under the current reigning champion in the field of ideas. And I'm going to keep teaching it, because it is the current best thinking.
Sorry to do this, but I am in the middle of moving. Sometime next week I will probably go dark for a few days while internet access is switched over. I promise I am not copping out, trying to escape from the inexorable logical trap of my untenable beliefs and opinions, or trying to piss anyone off. I am even likely to be in a much better mood when I get back :P
Let's see...
Babies. Soft, chubby, cooing babies. Warm peanut butter cookies fresh out of the oven. Sunsets. The sound of the tide coming in. The ecstatic chorus of birds at sunrise. Snowy mountain peaks. The Milky Way. Music. Aspen leaves quivering. The way an apple tastes when you pull it off the tree on a warm autumn afternoon. The way you hang in the air for a moment when you slip off a swing at full height. The touch of the man you love. The feel of the warm, sweet earth beneath your toes in spring. The patter of rain on leaves in a summer shower. A baby's laugh. Little children splashing in rain puddles. Baby chicks. Lunch with a good friend. Laughing till you cry. Riding down a turbulent river with a raft, a paddle, and your wits. Rainbows. The smell of a freshly washed baby. Chicken and dumplings on a cold winter night. Snow. Heather blooming on the hills. The smell of pine needles in the sun. A cool breeze on a hot day. The way the earth crumbles in your hands when you're planting a garden. The smell of rosemary and thyme when you brush against them. Finding out that eyebrows are for keeping the sweat out of your eyes. The sound of a lawnmower in the distance on a dewy morning. The sweet scent of freshly cut grass. The way ocean waves suck the sand from under your feet. The feel of a salty wave washing over you. Slipping between crisp, lavender-scented sheets at the end of a long day. Honeysuckle. Roses. Fresh peaches. The smell of bacon cooking when you wake up in the morning. Curly-headed toddlers with peanut butter faces. Fireworks. Flying. Your baby's first cry.
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began; and caused the dayspring to know his place; That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? --God
Would your mother be offended if I said I wanted to adopt you?
Me first please!
Butterflies. Telling stories around a campfire. Brain freeze from eating ice cream too fast. Babies peeing while you're changing them. Catching fireflies until your mom yells at you to come in the house right now before the mosquitoes eat you alive, for goodness sake. The aurora borealis. Kittens. That incredibly rare and elusive feeling you have right after you've cleaned the whole house and right before the kids come back in it. That all too common feeling of relief right after the baby stops biting you with his new teeth. Mommy kissing your hurts and making them better. Being the Mommy who kisses the hurts and makes them better. Air conditioning. The scent of freshly cut wood. The crack of a bat making contact with the ball after two strikes. The triumphant chatter of a squirrel that just escaped death by the hair of his teeth. The flick of a wren's tail. Puppy breath. Flying a kite you made yourself. Horses. Building something with your hands. The wind in your face. A hot cup of tea, a good book, and a comfortable chair.
The World
By Henry Vaughn (excerpt)
I saw Eternity the other night,
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
All calm, as it was bright;
And round beneath it, Time in hours, days, years
Driv'n by the spheres
Like a vast shadow mov'd ; in which the world
And all her train were hurl'd.
For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. --Isaiah 55:12
How could we have love without God?
The triumphant chatter of a squirrel that just escaped death by the hair of his teeth.
I remember it has something to do with a rabid squirrel, a woman with a bolo in one hand and a shotgun in the other, and a pile of gummy bears. Or suntin. Oh, and Uncle Jer driving a rented Dodge Dart with an extension cord for an antenna and a radio that could only tune in Rush Limbaugh. Or, no, I am mixing up my stories. Ok, I do remember somebody kicked himself in his own butt. Man, that was a night of wild drunken stories.
I am convinced
They loves teh womens.
Perhaps you could stop wasting time with all the whining about The Vet and how outnumbered you are and just answer a serious post. Like this one. You haven't corrected the fallacy I point out here yet, either.
I've been really busy lately and haven't had enough time to devote to this thread- but I'm not out yet. So, a couple comments relative to what I've missed over the last couple of days:
Bru is much better at presenting God's case than am I; I'm simply not schooled well enough. I do know this though- one can bone up on science; you can learn a lot by having a basic understanding of scientific principles and access to the internet. But God, on the other hand, takes a more pure and devoted approach. You must first have faith, not only in God's existence, but in His divine power over all things. Nothing is untenable for God. Just because whales seemingly had a bone or two they don't readily use, doesn't mean there isn't a reason God put it there. Humans have an appendix- that does nothing too. At least in present day. We can't say for sure if it didn't help save us from diseases long before modern medicine. Think about it- for all bugs that continue to shorten our lives, even with medical science as sophisticated as it is- how could we possibly have survived even 2000 years ago? Maybe with the help of a functioning appendix; I don't know. The point here is that just because we can't conceive it, doesn't mean that God couldn't as well. Just because we can't imagine a use for certain creatures or understand how they can survive given what appears to be substantial deficiencies, doesn't mean that God didn't have purpose for them. It is without a doubt the inability to accept God that continues to drive the Evolution parade.
Richard Dawkins once said: An atheist before Darwin could have said, following Hume: "I have no explanation for complex biological design. All I know is that God isn't a good explanation, so we must wait and hope that somebody comes up with a better one." I can't help feeling that such a position, though logically sound, would have left one feeling pretty unsatisfied, and that although atheism might have been logically tenable before Darwin, Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist. -- Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker (1986), page 6
Now, Dawkins can't disprove God, yet he knows God isn't a good explanation (at least he agrees with a theoretical pre-Darwin atheist's supposition). He knows? How does he know? Answer: He doesn't. He's just simply unwilling to accept God as a possible explanation. So what does he do? He latches onto an alternate theory and sets about proving it. This flies in the face of the claim that evolutionary science is looking for evidence that disproves it; certainly that's demonstrably false. Just as Global Warming scientists aren't looking to disprove that theory, evolutionists aren't looking to disprove theirs. In fact, given the atheist position held by most evolutionists, disproving the theory of evolution -in their mind- is as impossible as proving God. So while it's fair to suggest that the science has made discoveries that would seem to advance the theory, it is ludicrous to suggest that unearthed evidence discrediting the theory would ever see the light of day.
I also asked about the human eye- not sure if it was addressed. Maybe I missed it. Anybody have a theory on how the human eye came to be?
I'm afraid it isn't true that you can understand science fully with a couple of hours and access to google, but religious understanding takes years of study. I'm sure spiritual depth takes lots of time and effort, but so does deep scientific understanding. People spend their lives studying this stuff, and they aren't just twiddling their thumbs. It is irksome to try and have an earnest conversation with someone who apparently thinks my side of the debate is light-weight. You don't have what I would consider a basic understanding of evolution, you've proven that through your comments here. I don't have what I would consider a deep understanding of evolution because it isn't the primary focus of my teaching, so I haven't kept completely up to date with the field. It takes work and thought to know this stuff, same as it takes work and reflection to develop religious understanding.
I still think you vastly overestimate the number of atheist scientists. Look up the book Science vs. Religion: What Scientists Really Think by Dr. Ecklund. She surveyed and interviewed 1700 scientists, and found that 50% of them identified with a religion, and 20% actively attend houses of worship. That's lower than the general population, but it isn't like there is an overwhelming majority of atheist scientists out there.
There are a handful of scientists who are out to attack religion. Dawkins is the most vocal of them. Most scientists, and most evolutionists, are not out to attack religion. They want to pursue knowledge in the way that makes sense to them, and teach kids about science in school. No one is demanding that Sunday schools teach evolution. You came to our house and started rearranging the furniture, not the other way around! This debate is much more about religion attacking science than it is the other way around.
I have never told anyone on this website, for instance, not to believe in God. I have not told anyone that religious belief is wrong or harmful or stupid. I have said that I think evolution is real, and I can't justify pretending it isn't when talking to students. I HAVE been told by religious people here that my belief system is wrong, and harmful, and stupid. Not every belief that is different from yours is an attack, and you dish out much more than I see you taking!
This is off topic, but I want to ask you something. You said somewhere in this thread that parents come in and try to tell you what to teach, or basically what not to teach, meaning evolution. As a parent of college age children this struck me. The college or university you teach at, do you mind if I ask if it has a religious affiliation? Is questioning the profs on their teaching a norm, or is it something that occurs infrequently? Does this occur in other disciplines at your school? I ask out of personal curiosity. Thanks.
That particular incident happened during an informal educational talk on domestication of animals. I do most of my teaching in college, but I also do environmental education and other outreach types of work in informal and non-formal settings.
In college, my students are more than happy to question their professors. I know everyone thinks they have the best students, but ours are really no-nonsense, down-to-earth, practical kids who aren't afraid to share their opinions. It makes teaching very enjoyable.
We really have communication difficulties. I assume your students would question you. My curiosity is the involvement of the parents. This has nothing to do with the thread or you personally. It is the involvement of parents in the day to day lives of college age students that I am interested in. If you don't mind, do the parents of the students at your college question your (or other teacher's) material, style, or grading practices? Again, I'm only interested as a parent.
Grading sometimes, but there are very strict privacy laws regarding what we can tell parents. If you want to be able to question your kids' teachers about their progress, etc, make sure your child signs a FERPA waiver. Otherwise professors are not allowed to tell you ANYTHING.
Generally, we only hear from parents when their kids do badly, and it can be very stressful to fail someone with an overprotective parent! In general, the school will back up the professor, but the professor should be able to justify each grade given and show exactly why the student failed.
You gotta love FERPA. Once in a while it comes up as a joke in our classes. Someone will ask about the class average and I'll joke that I need a signed statement from each student in the class saying it's OK for me to share that information to the class.
OK, that doesn't seem so funny now that I write it, but I've gotten a few laughs out of it.
About a year ago, a parent emailed me asking how their kid was doing and I had to, somewhat apologetically, tell them that unless their kid specifically authorizes me, in writing, to tell his parents about his grades, I couldn't tell them anything. It seemed strange doing that but that's the rule.
Oddly, I never heard back from them.
but PitA regulations require a sense of humor sometimes. I've turned down several parents. I understand the need for it, but in the end I don't think it serves the students most of the time. I had one student lie about her poor grade to her parents and accidentally include me in the email-- nothing I could do about it.
If by the time their child is college bound, if the parent is paying for the education, but can't trust their child enough to discuss grades as adults, these parents really need to reconsider if their child should even be at college.
I don't ask my kids about their grades, and they end up telling me. I cannot imagine how parent's think their child will ever become independent if they don't let the (adult) child fall down and pick themselves up once in awhile.
My two cents.
I don't have what I would consider a deep understanding of evolution because it isn't the primary focus of my teaching, so I haven't kept completely up to date with the field.
But yet here we are, some years later acting as an authority anyway?
Next your gonna tell us, you dont know any Gay folks
So... everyone here spends their lives studying every subject they comment on? Wow, I had no idea I was in the presence of such luminaries!
Maybe instead of criticizing my credentials in a way you wouldn't dream of applying to the conservatives here (how many of my opponents in this debate are ministers or priests, or ID scientists? And yet I let them tell me things about religion and creation... ), you could just evaluate the information I'm bringing. It is either good information or bad information. Coming form an expert or an amateur doesn't change that.
My understanding of evolution is decently advanced. I teach it as a side subject in any class that uses evolution as a basis, so basically, every college biology class, but I spend most of my effort keeping up with the main subject of study. I feel pretty confident that I know more about evolution than most people here (although I would be delighted to find someone who knew more), but my point was that even with all of that knowledge, I don't consider myself to be truly well versed in every aspect of modern evolutionary thought. It is a full time job to be a true expert.
Also, knowing gay people does not make me an expert on gay people. BEING a gay person would make me an expert on gay people! I take up a point of view that I see no one else defending, because these issues affect people I care about. I don't comment because I'm an expert. Again, I have some biological knowledge that I think most people don't. I like sharing knowledge, it's what I do with my life. I don't need to be an expert to do that.
"It is irksome to try and have an earnest conversation with someone who apparently thinks my side of the debate is light-weight. You don't have what I would consider a basic understanding of evolution, you've proven that through your comments here."
I haven't called you a lightweight, nor implied it purposefully, but apparently, I'm a dummy.
"I don't have what I would consider a deep understanding of evolution because it isn't the primary focus of my teaching, so I haven't kept completely up to date with the field."
"No one is demanding that Sunday schools teach evolution. You came to our house and started rearranging the furniture, not the other way around!"
Our house? That would be... the public school system? That's your house? See, I imagine a country where middle-school science teachers could say to their students, "Science has made great advances in the study of human history, and history of the earth in general. In fact, many scientists believe that humans evolved on earth over many millions of years, purely by chance and in conjunction with something called "natural selection". There are other people, however, who believe that humans, and the earth itself was the result of some divine intervention, or possibly not from pure chance, rather that we were designed to be this way. These people largely base their opinions on various religious teachings, and as such, it is impossible to prove them true short of actual physical evidence of a supernatural being. Since this is a science class, we'll be focusing on what the scientific community has learned and theorized about the origins of the species on planet earth. This is not to say that you should disregard any religious beliefs you may have, however, it's best to study them in a religious environment."
"Also, knowing gay people does not make me an expert on gay people. BEING a gay person would make me an expert on gay people!"
Actually, being a gay person would make you an expert on you. Being a gay person might afford you a unique perspective on gay people, but that's not the same as being an expert. I'm a Marine veteran and that affords me a unique perspective on certain things jarhead, but that by no means makes me an expert on the Marine Corps.
But back to the topic at hand: I think that since you keep claiming I'm some kind of idiot regarding what evolution actually is, maybe you should include in your next comment your definition. I have been referring to Darwin's definition: "It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse; a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
"No one is demanding that Sunday schools teach evolution. You came to our house and started rearranging the furniture, not the other way around!"
Our house? That would be... the public school system? That's your house?

I don't think you are an idiot! Not knowing something is not the same as being stupid. I don't know lots of things, that doesn't make me an idiot! When Bru corrects me about the content of the Bible, I don't get huffy, I just take the information. I'm telling you that there is lots more you could learn about evolution, and that you need more than just the internet to "bone up" on the subject. If you don't believe me, then ignore me.
It's hilarious-- what you describe as the perfect scenario is EXACTLY what I I think most teachers say in their science classrooms. I use Wallace as my vehicle, and I tell the story about how he broke with Darwin and believed that humans were divinely created. I make Wallace the sympathetic character by pointing out Darwin's racism, and then I ask students if maybe they agree with Wallace. Several always say yes. I give the current scientific thinking on the questions Wallace couldn't answer, but then I tell my students that they don't have to believe in evolution in my classroom. They have to learn and understand it, because it is the only scientific context we have to explain all of biology, but they don't have to believe it. And that's it. From that point forward, I teach about evolution, and what I don't want is someone dictating based on their religious beliefs how I do that.
The whole public school system is not my house, the science classroom is. You can teach whatever you want in the rest of the school, and I think comparative religion classes are really useful for older kids. But the science classroom isn't the place for those discussions. There is too much actual science to cram into a semester or school year already!
I wish scientists still wrote like they did in the 1800's, there's some beautiful prose in the work of 19th century naturalists.
Evolution is just change over time. There were evolutionists before Darwin, they just didn't have a mechanism for how the change happened. Darwin's real contribution was not evolution, but the mechanism of natural selection, which he is describing in the Tangled Bank analogy, a very famous passage. Natural selection has five parts:
1) Populations outgrow their resources
2) There is variation within populations
3) That variation is heritable
4) The lack of resources creates competition among organisms for those resources
5) Those individuals with variations that improve their competitive ability will produce more offspring, and thus pass those beneficial traits to the next generation
"Evolution is just change over time."
Whoa. I don't know enough about science but evolution is just change over time? So when a newspaper sits outside in the sun and the ink fades, that's evolution. When an apple stays on the tree until it turns shriveled and black and falls off, that's evolution. When my hair went gray, I was evolving.
You know, when the evolution debate is framed this way, it's hard to argue against it.
Natural Selection - or as most people call it "adaptation"- may certainly play a role in the survival or decline of a species. But that in no way proves: "Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows." The finches actually belie that point; the birds with the longer beaks survive better during the drier seasons while their shorter-beaked counterparts all but die off. Yet, when the rainy seasons return, and food is abundant, the weaker, less adaptive shorter-beaked versions reappear in abundance. The argument from your side of the debate in this case seems to be, "Oh yeah. Evolution goes backwards too." Which, I guess if you consider evolution to be nothing more than change over time, would seem logical.
And then of course, there's the Natural Selection argument relative to homosexuality...
By the way, I wasn't huffy about you insinuating my ignorance- nor was I suggesting that internet access makes me equivalent to a science professor. What I was saying is that I do, in fact, have a fairly significant background in the sciences -especially as they relate to strengths of materials and their dynamic physical properties- and internet access is a way to remain current without taking a position as a lifetime student. So please, try to not be so haughty. (Notice, I respectfully refrained from using the word "condescending", though it might have worked equally well in this case.)
But evolution, in biology, is just change over time. Microevolution is the change in allele frequencies within a population over time. That's the finches, fluctuating as the climate changes. Macroevolution is change above the species level, the type of change that many people disbelieve could happen. But they are linked.
So let's say you have those finches, fluctuating on their island with their beaks changing sizes over generations in repsonse to climate variables. Other things probably fluctuate without making directed change too- their coloration, the character of their songs, and their size. A little smaller and browner one year, a little larger and whiter the next, no big deal.
Now imagine a small group of them is blown to the mainland during a storm. Suddenly they live in a very different environment, with different food, different climate, and new competitors to deal with. There are many more bird species on the island, and so the finches end up specializing on really tiny seeds, and their beaks get smaller than they ever did on the island. In order to find those seeds, they spend their time on the floor of the jungle, where there is very little light. Their coloration slowly changes to help them blend in with the shadows, and they start to use their song more heavily for mate attraction because the sound carries better in the jungle. But there are so many other bird species, that they also have to change the frequency of their song-- too much interference on the band they were using. So over time the same genetic basis for the random fluctuations lets those with lower and lower frequency songs produce more offspring because they are better at attracting mates.
At the point at which those birds have changed the shape of their beaks so that they can't eat any of the seeds on their own island, and changed their song and coloration such that no one in their original population would recognize them and mate with them, you have a new species. Nothing dramatic or special has to happen. For the point at which they become reproductively isolated, those same random fluctuations that you discount in your description will cause them to slowly drift apart in characters. One may get huge and become a different genus of bird, maybe someone else will become nocturnal. THey will be subject to different pressures in different niches, and they will slowly accumulate changes until they get to the point where, looking at the end, humans can't imagine a link between them.
That's it, that's all it takes for evolution to happen.

Todays work world doesn't stop, a feature that would have been nice at the Sheraton would have been full service wifi, not lite at no extra charge. The Sheraton is a great place for the family the pool is great, but no people were in it because it was cold. Waking up to beer cans out the front door entry in the planters was not so family friendly. We understand that the Sheraton provides lots of banquet functions, but seeing broken glass and beer cans is not what I want my children to see first thing in the morning. Overall we had a great time. The new life jackets were wonderful. And provided at no charge was nice. Thank-you for the new suite and coffee, overall happy with our stay and we will be back.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Gret Some suggestions for the water park I am concerned regarding the safety of children in the pool area. Please consider an attendant at the top or bottom of the slide and to enforce the "no diving" suggestions written on the edge of the pool. As well the attendant could monitor the overcrowding in the hot tubs. Persons folding the towels do not appear to have any ability to perform these safety duties. April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LeGaul67 Excellent stay! When I arrived, I was upgraded to a suite at no additional charge. The lounge has a good variety of breakfast foods and Henry's Pub is a great place to eat - 20 wings for $5.00 on Wednesdays! Overall a great hotel. Always enjoy staying here while in Calgary on business. April 18, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Expatnomore Nice reno, but honesty is the best policy When I checked in after midnight I was told that I had been upgraded (yay) to a suite (#745). I told the clerk that the only thing I cared about was quiet, don't care about views or anything else. She assured me directly that it was a quiet room. Perhaps but the elevator shaft next door kicked into gear in the early hours and my sleep was awful. There is no way that room could be considered quiet and she lied directly to my face. Bad show SPG and certainly not what I usually experience at your hotels. January 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lisa2267 This hotel has comfort figured out We travelled to Calgary for a team tournament and found the hotel very efficient, comfortable and accommodating. They kept our whole team together with our rooms which was a bonus. Pool was enjoyed by all the kids. Would have been nice to have a fridge in our room (not bar fridge) to keep our extra food, drinks for the tournament April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kelly52 Comfy and Classy This is the third time I have been to the Sheraton Cavalier in Calgary for business. The hotel is easy to get to, just off the Deerfoot trail and surrounded by many restaurants if you wish to eat outside the hotel. Some of my group ate at the hotel bar and the food was delicious and the service very good. This trip our meeting was in the McKnight East boardroom. This room is perfect for smaller groups, we had 30 folks at our meeting. The meeting rooms have all been refurbished since our last visit and wow, very nice. New comfortable chairs and beautiful lighting. The staff are first class, polite and attentive. Martin our coordinator couldn't have done enough for us. The guest rooms are large and bright with wonderful beds,very comfortable mattress with pillows that you just melt into! October 29, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by vb31 romance package??? really?? arrived at the hotel after having booked romance package, which included late checkout if available, I had to ask, them prompt the front desk clerk to look at our reservation, which would include a late checkout til 4pm if the hotel was available. I was able to have a checkout til 3. I asked if the sparkling wine and chocolates were in the room, blank stare...they were sent up, but merlot not sparkling and only half a bottle. Dinner in the lounge, steaks tasted like they were boiled...odd Breakfast was included in romance package, we asked desk in the morning when we came down where the breakfast was, we were directed, a nasty breakfast to the tune of 35.00 which we had to fight about because our breakfast was to have been included They eventually went to the front desk to check and the lady came with breakfast vouchers which had not been given to us at checkin. No apology, appears they didn't much care...the room was fine..the romance package a joke...what a shame April 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by TylerTheRegular Very happy with service Hello, I have been staying at the Cavalier in Calgary for many years. i was in a real bind this time and Gary was able to get me a room when no onw else could. He went above and beyond with phone calls etc to set this up for me. From a platinum member it is much appreciatd. April 12, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Willett Love the updated rooms I had a great stay. Love the cleanliness and quality of the rooms and finishings. Staff were great. I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JC57 Convenient Room was quite warm even after resetting temperature on thermostat. Very nice room, but lots of noise in room from noisy street intersections. Given all the medians and one ways, it is a bit of a pain to get into parking lot from the street. April 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by happymom31 This Hotel was excellent This Hotel was amazing, any one with kids would enjoy this place. my kids loved it because of the indoor water park, rooms were clean and well maintained, The bed was very comfy. We ended up getting the calaway package, if u plan on staying at this hotel and u have kids I would get there package. My calaway package included one night, 2 adult tickets and 2 kids ticket to calaway park and $25.00 food voucher for the Hotel . My next trip to Calgary I will be staying at this Hotel.

Rated 3 out of 5 by GordW patronage I see no difference in the level of service or recognition of my Platinum status at the Four Points down the street. I stay at this hotel at least once of month and I do not feel like my patronage is appreciated. April 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Traveller1624 Nice Hotel I enjoyed staying at the Sheraton by the Calgary Airport. The hotel is very large so there are a lot of things you can do right inside the hotel- swimming, pubs, dinner, etc. The pool looked like it would be alot of fun and the view from the rooms were great. The only problem I had was I was next door to the lounge on the 8th floor so at sometimes it was loud or I could hear the door opening and closing which made my sleep a little uncomfortable as it is open 24 hours. October 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by heck Sheraton cavalier A great relaxing place to stay weather for 1 night or a few nights. Pool is great and the lounge is a relaxing place to unwind. April 14, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Familytravelerfor4 Booking doesn't matter Despite pre booking a room prior to travel we arrived and were told the room we booked was sold out. There was zero effort to accommodate our needs and we were forced to take a different room. in the the end the room worked out though quite typical of any hotel we have stayed in with exception to the view which was quite stunning. Very disappointed in the restaurant! No food we wanted, reeked of deep fried garlic from the over rated pasta bar and very expensive. August 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jfoulston31 will always be a family favorite Ever since I have been 7 years old my parents have taken me to Sheraton I always remember the fun times,now that I have 2 small boys of my own I decided it would be fun to bring them,well even though they just turned 2and 3 they had a blast,we were given life jackets and spent the whole evening going Down the slides,after we ordered great room service and the kids were out!what a great place still,thanks for the years of memories and for more to come;-) February 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by bori Nice stay My room was very comfortable. I was expecting more from its main restaurant. Food options close down at 11pm, so if you have a late arrival you should look to eat somewhere else. As a gold SPG member, I was not offered an enhanced option for my room at check-in. March 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sharkie77 Great weekend stay! This hotel provided us a great weekend getaway for our family! The breakfast at Colours was delicious and it was exciting for our son to be able to wear his pjs down for breakfast. Also the fitness facility was better than most hotels. March 31, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Tam27 Staff Overview When I am greeted by Saleem or Enuardo, my stay is always special. The new staff treat platinum guests the same as any other guests. The new manager of the lounge is incredibly rude. I was just receiving my order from Leslie (who is lovely) and he comes to my table and proceeds to tell her to get moving. Completely unprofessional. I have been staying at this hotel for approx. 20 stays a year/year for the last 4 years. I am evaluating changing hotels May 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by traveller Home away from home This facility conveniently located away from downtown and close to many amenities. The staff are very friendly and supportive. I have been staying at the Sheraton Cavalier for the past three years for all my travel needs. March 29, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Chrissy99 This hotel is awesome for families with small kids! I previously stayed at this hotel back in the mid 80's to 90's with my parents and sister and it was always our hotel of choice while we stayed in Calgary, during summer holidays as we loved the waterpark. My family had a day to burn last week while we went to Calaway Park, so we booked a night at the Sheraton Cavalier as I knew my 2 & 5 yr old boys would love the waterslides. The hotel didn't disappoint, and everyone had a great time. August 20, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gordon52 Unsatisfactory Room Cleanliness When we arrived the face cloths in the bathroom were soaking wet. This was quite disgusting and caused me to be very concerned about the cleanliness of the room. Extreme lack of judgement by the cleaning staff to intentionally leave wet face cloths in a bathroom. They could not have been placed there without noticing that they were soaking wet. The pool area needs updating. Do not understand why the indoor pool is not heated. August 26, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lisabn So-so We purchased the Calaway stay & play package. The hotel is beautiful and clean, but our room had a shower only and no fridge and microwave, so not ideal for travelling with toddlers. The pool was great. We received a $25 food voucher in the package which we used for the pancake breakfast at Colours. The food was not great. No different then continental breakfast foods, which are free at other hotels. And my 2 year old had to pay $8.95 for her food, plus $2 for a glass of milk. I thought that was kind of silly since she ate 1/2 a pancake and a couple chunks of fruit. Two & under should be free. Even with the $25 voucher our bill was still $28. So a $53 total for sub par food for a family of 4. Not overly impressed. After adding it all up it would have been cheaper to stay somewhere else that had free breakfast, and buying our calaway park tickets at the gate. August 4, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Gordupnorth Disappointing Customer Service & Food Check In - After a long day of travel, I checked into the hotel late Sunday evening, expecting a Club Level room as advertised and proven on my reservation confirmation; I had been excited about this reservation as I was not away of any Club Level and after learning about the additional services, was looking forward to it. However, the front desk clerk informed me that my reservation was for a King room, not club level and I was in no mood to argue, though I did mention and show him the reservation inform stated Club Level. Discouraged, I went to my room to rest, already starting my stay in a poor mood. Lobby - The lobby is nicely decorated, a very large open space with lots of seating in the lounge area. The one issue was that access to the elevators from the lobby was narrow and seemed to a gathering area for groups of people, including children carrying over sized hockey bags.. This made it very awkward to pass by them to get to the elevators. Room - The room was nice, lots of space and a good view of the mountains and downtown Calgary skyline. The windows were in tremendous need of cleaning, the outside of them was very dirty, causing no picture of the mountains to actually turn out. Best yet however was a imprint of a child's hand on the window, likely after handling something sticky. I noticed the hand-print on day two of the stay and it was still there when I left 5 days later - completely neglected by cleaning staff. The bed was comfortable, but the pillows were far too soft. I asked the front desk on two occasions (once by phone and once in person) for harder foam pillows, but they never arrived. Amenities - The pool was below average. While the facilities were large, they are in need of deep cleaning and repair. The sauna has so many loose boards, you need to be very careful where you step. There is a cafe in the pool area which is very nice, a great incentive for families to stay longer. There were two hot tubs, one however was sectioned off; the other was fine, warming than what I expected; and even though there was a sign not allowing children under 10 in the hot tub, there was a 4 year old with her mother, while 2 staff looked on and did nothing to enforce the rule. I was not able to relax in the pool area at all, it is certainly catered towards families experience and not relaxation. Restaurant - The breakfast restaurant, Colors, was a big disappointment. I tried it on two occasions, once for the Eggs Benedict which I did not enjoy, the eggs were over cooked, potatoes undercooked, and the Hollandaise sauce was made from a powder, not from scratch. I tried it again a few days later for their buffet but was disgusted by the grease level in every warm item they served. I opted for fresh fruit from the local market instead of breakfasts at this location. I did not try Carvers, their steakhouse onsite, after hearing Room Service - I managed to get a couple orders of room service in during study periods of my stay. I would say that the deserts were fantastic, and the entrees are not worth the money. I have attached pictures of the orders. Their Chocolate Mousse Torte was great, rich and light; baked apple pie was good; the chicken breast was small and over cooked; the bruschetta was overcooked and hard, the tomatoe topping was heavily salted for some ready, but the roasted garlic was a great touch. April 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mac456 Very Pleasantly Surprised! I went looking for a special place to spend New Year's Eve with my grandchildren and found that the Sheraton Cavalier offered in room dining and water slides. Perfect! I reserved 2 rooms, thinking that the Hotel was probably a little dated, but offered what I was looking for. Wow, was I surprised! The room was beautiful; very clean and well appointed. We all had a blast at the water park and in-room dining was delicious. January 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by YQRPlat Consistently great hotel I love staying here, especially since the upgrades to the fitness centre and the club lounge. The staff are always helpful and attentive, the renovated rooms are great, and no matter how busy they find ways to accommodate my needs. The hotel has always treated me extremely well as a Platinum guest. The location is excellent for travel inside and outside the city, as you can have quick access to most major arteries. January 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rumrunner Wedding Celebration My son and his new bride got married in the ballroom. Immediately after the ceremony, while photos were being taken, the room was converted for the reception. Many guests stayed overnight at the hotel including my wife and I who flew in from Ontario. Family and friends all appreciated the convenience of having everything under one roof. Thank you to all the staff who made this special occasion a very memorable one. August 23, 2012

Hackers train sights on Yemen after Egypt
The loose-knit group of online global hackers known as "Anonymous" has trained its sights on Yemen following cyber attacks on government websites in Tunisia and Egypt.
The loose-knit group of online global hackers known as "Anonymous" has trained its sights on Yemen following cyber attacks on government websites in Tunisia and Egypt.
Hacker activists started attacking Egyptian government websites on Wednesday, apparently taking them offline soon after the country restored Internet service.
(AP) -- Britain says government websites are at risk of cyber attack from pro-WikiLeaks hackers.
Dutch police arrested a 19-year-old on suspicion of hacking a government website, the second teenage arrest for cyber attacks linked to the WikiLeaks fallout, prosecutors said on Saturday.
(AP) -- Hundreds of computers that caused a wave of outages on U.S. and South Korean government websites last July launched new attacks on the same sites, but no major damage was reported, police said Thursday.
(AP)— The US government is expected to take over control of the central information website on the Gulf oil spill response that has been run jointly by various agencies and BP for the 2 1/2 months since the rig explosion.
South Korea's intelligence service is investigating a major cyber attack on the main government website by hackers traced to China, officials said Thursday.
Google has warned a copycat Chinese website to stop using a logo that resembles the US Internet giant's or face possible legal action, state media reported Monday.

University wins recognition for environmental activities
Binghamton University has received top recognition by The Princeton Review in its first-ever "green rating" of colleges. One of only 11 colleges recognized, Binghamton is also the only SUNY institution named to the honor roll.
"We are pleased to receive this significant recognition," President Lois B. DeFleur said. "Our entire campus works very hard on our environmental efforts and this achievement truly reflects our commitment to sustainability. These efforts have been a priority for me and we have put into place a number of initiatives to engage all of our campus constituents — from the students in our residence halls to our maintenance crews," she said. "Higher education has a unique role to play in addressing sustainability issues and we take this responsibility very seriously. Being named to this prestigious honor roll indicates our firm commitment."
The green rating is a numerical score of 60 to 99 that The Princeton Review tallied for 534 colleges and universities based on data collected from the schools in the 2007-08 academic year concerning their environmentally related policies, practices and academic offerings.
Robert Franek, vice president and publisher of The Princeton Review, noted that the "green" movement on college campuses is far more than an Earth Day recycling project or a dining hall menu of organic food.
"The commitment that many colleges and their student bodies have made to environmental issues — indeed, to the environment — in their practices, use of resources and academic and research programs is truly compelling," he said. "We are pleased to play a role in helping students identify, get into and study at these schools. It is the students of today who will face and hopefully find solutions for the enormous environmental challenges confronting our planet's future."
Binghamton University's sustainability efforts range from an energy management system to recycling efforts that include organic gardening and composting.
Other initiatives include a range of energy-saving projects, LEED building standards and educational efforts that include a residential community energy contest as well as regular programs and events that engage and educate the campus community in thinking about and changing energy habits.
In fall 2007, DeFleur was a charter signatory endorsing the American College and University Presidents Climate Commitment. To date, more than 500 universities nationwide have signed on to work toward a goal of climate neutrality.
The Princeton Review "2009 Green Rating Honor Roll" salutes six public and five private institutions that each received scores of 99 — the highest. Along with Binghamton University, the honor roll includes Arizona State University-Tempe; Bates College and College of the Atlantic, both in Maine; Emory University; Georgia Institute of Technology; Harvard College; University of New Hampshire; University of Oregon; University of Washington and Yale University.

TALLAHASSEE -- A day after managing just one run, Florida State found plenty of ways to put runs on the scoreboard against Miami starter Bryan Radziewski and the Hurricanes bullpen.
Jose Brizuela went 3 for 4 with four RBI, while John Sansone and John Nogowski each had two RBI as No. 2 FSU routed No. 14 Miami 10-2 on Saturday afternoon.
But FSU also showed patience at the plate, walking nine times.
"We had some very good at-bats," FSU coach Mike Martin said. "Very, very pleased to get a win [Saturday]."
FSU left-hander Brandon Leibrandt was efficient, allowing just one earned run in 6 2/3 innings.
A crowd of 6,593, the eighth-largest in Dick Howser Stadium history, saw FSU improve to 7-1.
FSU had a pair of big innings, scoring four runs in the first off Radziewski and tacking on five runs in the seventh against two relievers as UM fell to 5-4 on the season.
Radziewski found himself in a jam early, walking the bases loaded with no outs in the first. He then got Brett Knief to fly out and struck out John Sansone swinging. But Nogowski hit a double down the right-field line, and Brizuela followed with a single to left to put FSU ahead 4-1.
Radziewski (0-2) lasted just 4 1/3 innings, walking five and giving up five runs. The Hurricanes' relievers also struggled: Cooper Hammond, Thomas Woodrey, Adam Sargent and Enrique Sosa combined to give up five runs while walking four batters.
"If you walk nine guys against a team as talented as Florida State is, you're not going to win," UM coach Jim Morris said.
A day after Miami won 3-1 behind the strong pitching performance of Chris Diaz, Leibrandt (2-0) scattered six hits, walked one and had three strikeouts.
"When I was able to locate, get ahead with strike one, it just opened everything up, and I was able to make some pitches," Leibrandt said.
He left the game leading 5-2, and the Seminoles added five runs in the bottom of the seventh on a two-run double by Sansone, RBI doubles by D.J. Stewart and Brizuela, and an RBI single by Knief.
Miami's Alex Hernandez went 2 for 3 with an RBI single in the first and an RBI double in the third.
Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston also had a pinch-hit single in the seventh for FSU.
The Hurricanes will send left-hander Andrew Suarez (1-1, 3.75 ERA) to the mound against FSU right-hander Mike Compton (1-0, 0.00) on Sunday in the series finale at 1 p.m.
While the series doesn't count in the Atlantic Coast Conference standings, Miami will have a chance to win its first series against FSU since 2009.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Shortstop Edgar Renteria was placed on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained right hamstring suffered during the Giants' 4-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday night.
"He's pretty sore there," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday. "This is not good news for us. We just got him back and he was playing well."
After Wednesday's 7-3 loss to the Nationals, the Giants announced they were calling up infielder Ryan Rohlinger from Triple-A Fresno.
Renteria, who was 4-for-10 with an RBI in three games since returning from his last stint on the disabled list with a strained groin muscle, pulled his right hamstring while running to first base on a seventh-inning sacrifice bunt.
"We'll probably have to take a little time to get him back on the field," Bochy said. "We're talking about another player."
In addition to utility man Juan Uribe and Rohlinger, Bochy's options at shortstop include using Matt Downs or Freddy Sanchez on a short-term basis.
"Matt has taken ground balls there," Bochy said. "He's been working there. Even Sanchez could do it for a game."
Schierholtz better, back in starting lineup
SAN FRANCISCO -- Nate Schierholtz doesn't like to make excuses, but it's no stretch to say the injured right shoulder that has plagued the Giants outfielder since late April has played a part in his struggling bat.Schierholtz was hitting .306 on April 27 before diving to make a catch against Philadelphia. After going 5-for-5 the following day, Schierholtz has been mired in an offensive slump, hitting .237 (14-for-59), and entered Wednesday having played just two of the Giants' past five games, entering both as a late-inning defensive replacement. Schierholtz received a cortisone shot earlier this week to help the injured shoulder -- which he said consisted of a bruised rotator cuff and also some tendinitis -- and started in right field for the Giants on Wednesday. "I could feel it at the plate. Holding my bat on my shoulder, it just didn't feel right," Schierholtz said. "I tried to play through it, but I had an opportunity to play -- which I didn't have at the beginning of the season. If I had to do it over, I probably would've said something earlier, but it's just something that you hope goes away and this one didn't."
Burriss tests healing foot by running bases
SAN FRANCISCO -- Giants infielder Emmanuel Burriss ran bases Wednesday for the first time since refracturing his left foot in Spring Training and said he hopes to be back on a baseball field in approximately two weeks."It's coming along good," Burriss said of the foot. "It's pretty much on schedule. I haven't had any news-breaking scenarios with the foot, so it's pretty much been on track." Burriss, 25, opened last season as the Giants' starting second baseman before being demoted after a slow start at the plate. While at Triple-A Fresno, Burriss broke the fifth metatarsal in his left foot while running the bases on July 5. In the team's Spring Training opener on March 3, Burriss refractured the foot legging out a double. After breaking his foot twice within a nine-month span, Burriss said the biggest obstacle he must overcome is his confidence. "There were a couple times on the bases where I got close to the base and I just got nervous," Burriss said. "That's something I have to get rid of."

'The RSC's new musical version of Roald Dahl's Matilda is a triumph:
enchanting, bold and ingenious'
Evening Standard
'The show only ended an hour ago, and I'm already longing to see it again'
Daily Telegraph
Following a sensational sell-out season at The Courtyard Theatre, the RSC's production of MATILDA THE MUSICAL transfers to London's West End this October.
Roald Dahl's much-loved story bursts into life on stage in this brand new musical version by Dennis Kelly and award-winning musician and comedian Tim Minchin. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.
Her parents think she is a nuisance and she thinks, quite rightly, they are only interested in watching telly. Life is not much better at school, where the monstrous headmistress Miss Trunchbull terrifies both students and teachers ALIKE. Then one day Matilda discovers she has a very special power and decides it's time the grown-ups were taught a lesson. Be warned, the children are revolting…
MATILDA THE MUSICAL previews at the Cambridge Theatre from 18 October.

We've evolved…
and to reflect this have changed our name to Atom Content Marketing. You will be automatically redirected to our new website within 10 seconds.
What our clients say…
Sponsorship of Start Up Donut and Marketing Donut is without doubt one of the best decisions we've taken this year. Not only have we had a fantastic return on investment - with regular weekly sales - we have also had an agile co-operation with the Donut teams on social media, and this has led to a wider awareness of our brand and offers. Altogether an immensely worthwhile partnership.
Jason Sullock
Working with BHP has helped Dell extend its reach to the small business community. Sponsoring the IT Donut has positioned our brand alongside helpful business content and shown Dell as a thought-leader and key supporter of small businesses. In addition to the sponsorship, we've had the benefit of using a variety of the Donut content on our small business advice centre and in our newsletters. The team at BHP clearly understand the needs of small businesses and their flexible approach to working directly with Dell and our agencies has helped achieve our aims. Overall it's been a successful partnership and we're extremely pleased with the results.
Andrew Miller - Dell Small Business Marketing Manager
As a forward-thinking firm, we wanted to be ahead of the game and by gaining exclusive rights and having our own Law Donut for the Thames Valley, BHP provided an excellent tool for our clients. Clients need to know the information they access is up-to-date and authoritative. It is much better for them to look for content developed specifically for the needs of business rather than Google their problem and be faced with having to assess thousands of web pages for accuracy, timeliness and relevance. Using the Law Donut, our clients are assured of all of the above.
Sam Howe – Senior Marketing Executive
B P Collins LLP
The Tax Donut content gives us the edge over our competitors. Our clients and prospects are happy because we're giving them great advice for free and we're reaping the rewards of having our own resource, newsletter and tweets all lined up, which saves us time and the worry of writing the content. It's definitely been a wise investment.

Very Special Place: Cooks Corners Schoolhouse
Jun 26, 2007 — The one-room schoohouse used to be a common sight in the North Country. Before school centralization around 60 years ago, these schoolhouses could be seen every couple of miles, since most students had to walk to school. While many of these buildings are now gone or in disrepair, one schoolhouse in Pierrepont still serves the surrounding community. Today NCPR and TAUNY, Traditional Arts in Upstate New York, continue our look at some very special places in the North Country. Joel Hurd and Varick Chittenden visited the Cooks Corners Schoolhouse on a sunny June day when fourth graders from Colton-Pierrepont Central School were playing roles of students in the late 19th century.

The Director And Star Of THE ARTIST Are Two Of THE PLAYERS
Jean Dujardin (THE ARTIST, OSS 117) and Gilles Lellouche (POINT BLANK, MESRINE) lead a star-studded cast in a comedy exploring the triumphs and failures, the glories and pitiful disasters of male infidelity in all its desperate, absurd and wildly funny variety.
From a post-sales conference hotel in the suburbs to a smart sex addiction clinic, from a swish Parisian nightclub to the glitzy fleshpots of Las Vegas, the protagonists launch themselves into the age old pursuit. Every time worn excuse is proffered; every trick in the book is played. The quest to get laid is on. Witty and moving, honest and cynical, cowardly and candid, touching and contemptible - they're guys, in other words. Hope beats eternal in the lusting male heart, but the road to illicit pleasure is never an easy one...
A pair of teasers have arrived for the film, check them out below.
