Porsche has just released a video series that gives us a glimpse of the Porsche Museum and some of it's hidden gems. The Porsche Museum is in Stuttgart, Germany where Porsche is originally from. (If you haven't noticed it's written on every Porsche logo) The facility is not only the home of Porsche cars but also vehicles from other car makers such as Audi's, Seats and Lada's as mentioned in the video above. Pay attention towards the end of the video, there is the very first 911 Turbo that belonged to Louise Porsche Pieche, the daughter of Ferdinand Porsche. Beautiful Car!
We will keep you posted when Part 2 comes out! It will provide details about some very special cars such as the 996 Bulletproof, 906 Ollon-Villars Hill Climb, FLA Concept Study, 924 World Record Car, 928 Convertible Prototype, 908 Targa Florio and the 984 Porsche Junior.

Hi all,
I am about to take my 2 year old on a plane ride and I wanted some ideas/advice on keeping occupied. Last time we flew, I was bf so it wasn't an issue since she ate or slept most of the time. I'm trying to pack as lightly as possible but am planning on bringing my iPad with us. We haven't really let her use it much but I'm guessing it may be a god-send once we are in the air. What apps do you like for your 2 year olds? Also any other advice would be appreciated. I'm expecting the worst and just focusing on survival of the 4 hours! Thanks!
I have LO use a straw sippy for take-off and landing. I usually fill it with juice or chocolate milk (aka Things she is not usually allowed to have). I also pack snacks and bring books and stuffed animals.
We bring the iPad with episodes of Dora or Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and she's mesmerized the whole time.
Duck Duck Moose, Tozzle, Endless Alphabet.
But the most important thing (we just flew last week and he's also two) is to have something that will compensate for when you have to take away the iPad as they're getting ready to descend. It's about 30 minutes between that and actually getting off the plane.

After completing a string of shows here in the States, Jeremy Camp has packed his bags to set off for Guatemala.
The singer ("Jesus Saves", "The Way", "My God") will spend time there visiting a discipleship house. This is an annual trip for Jeremy; hanging out with young Christians there. While in Guatemala, Jeremy will also be investing time in a program called Potter's Kids. This is a discipleship program where participating kids dedicate about a year of their life training to go on missions, engaging in discipleship, and working to change the world for Christ,
The trip is a break from Jeremy's nationwide "Reckless Tour", which he will resume in June. The album, Reckless came out in February.

The PVWatts® Calculator is a web application developed by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) to estimate the electricity production of a grid-connected roof- or ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) system based on a few simple inputs that allow homeowners, installers, manufacturers, and researchers to easily gauge the performance of hypothetical PV systems that use crystalline modules.
To begin using the calculator, you simply type in the address or geographic coordinates for a potential PV system. Based on the location, PVWatts® automatically identifies applicable solar resource data for your system. To represent the system's physical characteristics, PVWatts® requires a value for five inputs:
Using an hour-by-hour simulation over a period of one year, PVWatts® estimates the annual and monthly electricity production of a PV system, as well as, the cost and value of the electricity produced by the system. The cost of electricity estimates are based on whether the PV system is on residential or commercial property, its installation cost, and the retail cost of electricity.
The PVWatts® Calculator is suitable for very preliminary studies of potential locations for PV systems using crystalline silicon modules. However, your production estimates do not account for many factors that are important in the design of a highly efficient system. If you are using PVWatts® to assist in designing a PV system, consult with a qualified professional to verify the final system design is based on a complete assessment of the location using more detailed analysis and design tools.
If you would like to offer suggestions or feedback, please email us at email@example.com.
PVWatts® supports the U.S. Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technologies Program.

Anyone who has fished on the "MI-HI" has appreciated the bountifull fishing, which often leads to a "limit" catch of Walleye. This is our most popular time of the fishing season – so be sure call Captain Steve as soon possible to hold your date.

Valley National Bancorp's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Commercial Real Estate excluding commercial loans grew approximately $50 million from the third quarter as originations of $132 million were also impacted by both scheduled and non scheduled principal payments of over $80 million.
On average, prepayments in part precipitated by the low interest rate environment during 2011 were approximately 11% greater than the amount recognized in 2010.
The commercial C&I portfolio expanded $8.2 million or nearly 2% annualized from the prior quarter.
Line usage remained at approximately 38.5%. However, the total amount of committed lines from lines of credit grew by nearly $70 million.Activity in Valley's New York and New Jersey market place was strong during the fourth quarter as new originations equaled $157 million or 20% greater than new volumes realized in the third quarter. The current quarter increase in loan activity is promising, yet from our perception does not imply customer sentiments has fully shifted in a positive direction. Much of our growth had come from taking business away from some of our competitors and many of our customers continue to be reluctant to expand their businesses until the economic conditions improve and they can anticipate sustainable business profits. We remain optimistic about growth in Valley's commercial lending portfolio and see continued opportunities throughout 2012. However, as is customary as Valley, loan growth is limited based on management's emphasis on credit quality. Growing the balance sheet simply for the sake of size has never been the focus at Valley. Growing the most profitable and long term sustainable earning stream focusing of credit quality is the hallmark of Valley and ultimately drives the levels of portfolio growth. As previously stated, many of Valley's new commercial lending relationships originated throughout 2011 are largely the result of borrowers migrating from other financial institutions as opposed to expanding existing lending relationships due to growth in the economy.

If you're like me you don't think twice about what you eat and how it will affect your skin. I've always been lucky to notice no chances when eating pizza, fried foods, etc., and I notice that some people will break out from eating too much chocolate. Whether or not you have issues with your skin should make no difference in choosing the right foods. We should always be conscious of what we put in our body's and now is a great time to start!
I've been a little slack on watching what I eat since I got back from vacation and I'm feeling that it's time for a change. One of my clients yesterday told me that she has lost 17 pounds & one dress size since her last appointment(less than 2 months ago) with me. She told me that her skin looks better, and of course she feels better! We also talked about the tool she is using to keep track of calories which has helped her to naturally make better choices. I got a new sense of motivation talking to her because I realized that I could have done that for myself in the same amount of time. What am I waiting for? What are you waiting for?
It's pretty obvious that eating better for your skin is also better for your entire body so I'm going to talk a little bit about overall health as well. When you pick up one good habit it follows with another, and then another. Before you know it you're feeling great, you look great, and you have tons of energy! So if you're ready to get serious about your health & body here are a few tips!
1. Water!!!
I know this is one of those things that everyone is aware of and your hear it everywhere you go. That's why it's number one on my priority list! You have to start out with proper hydration or you'll be doing a lot of work for nothing. Just by starting out with the recommended 1.9 liters a day you will be on your way to better health by hydrating alone! Your skin will look better and you're going to feel a lot better.
I know this is one of those things that everyone is aware of and your hear it everywhere you go. That's why it's number one on my priority list! You have to start out with proper hydration or you'll be doing a lot of work for nothing. Just by starting out with the recommended 1.9 liters a day you will be on your way to better health by hydrating alone! Your skin will look better and you're going to feel a lot better.
I read "The Skinny Bitch" book a few years ago and one tip stood out and worked for me. Forget the vegan stuff that's insane and I love real cheese! They recommend drinking a glass of water when you wake up and before you eat or drink anything else. I have done this regularly and noticed a change in my appetite as well as my choices throughout the day. I don't know if this is true but I felt that I craved water more during the day when I started my day with water. It's definitely worth a try!
I also believe in drinking water at meals as well as one glass of water half an hour before your meal. I can almost guarantee that you will not be as hungry and you will feel much better when you leave the dinner table!
2. Citrus Fruit
Citrus Fruit is packed with vitamin C and will make your skin more smooth & taut than you may realize. Eating more vitamin C will help prevent wrinkles, aging, and it aids in collagen production which is crucial in your body's skin production.
Ever hear of collagen injections or creams? Procedures and products like those may work, but why spend hundreds of dollars when you can do it with foods that help your body & skin?
Here are a few foods to keep you on track:
- Oranges
- Grapefruits
- Tomatoes
- Hot Peppers
- Bell Peppers
- Sprouts
I know you may be thinking wait a minute, all of those foods are not a citrus fruit! They all have one thing in common and that is high amounts of vitamin C. You may not get as much benefit from a pepper but it's a great way to change it up!
3. Red & Green Vegetables
Vegetables like spinach, carrots, sweet potatoes, peppers, etc. are high in vitamin A & natural anti-oxidants that brighten & smooth the skin. Vegetables that are more red-orange are a little more powerful when it comes to skin health.
Vitamin A is regularly used in several acne medications so why not get some naturally? It can help you from the inside and that's more effective than any product. If you eat pizza and cheeseburgers all the time and use acne medication you are only dulling the effect of the medication. You're packing more bad stuff in when you should be helping your skin with foods as well.
I've always been told to keep your plate colorful. Sometimes this is hard when you're on-the-go and unfortunately I experience this firsthand with my job. We are doing client after client and sometimes a cucumber snack isn't enough to keep me going. We often grab food at Tropical Smoothie or Moe's and it's a horrible habit to break! Packing vegetables for work is a great way to make better choices and improve your skin. If I have food packed I cannot justify buying something that's not as healthy as what I brought with me.
4. Seafood
Believe it or not, seafood will promote smooth, clear, & glowing skin! It is high in omega-3 fatty acids & zinc. By now everyone has heard about what omega-3 and fish oils can do for your health, especially your skin. Eating seafood aids in circulation and reducing inflammation which cause aging.
One of the biggest benefits to eating seafood is the power of zinc. It can control your body's production of the oils that cause acne and it aids in the production of new skin cells. I never though that oysters could do so much for my body!
Here are a few foods that are high in zinc & omega-3 fatty acids:
- Oysters
- Salmon
- Shrimp
- Walnuts
- Flaxseed Oil
5. Nuts
I get a little tired of hearing about nuts, but it's inevitable that they are good for you and we all need them. Nuts have vitamin E and can promote younger & softer looking skin. As you may know they are also a great snack to keep your energy up!
Nuts are high in antioxidants that help your skin to hold in moisture and protect it from free radicals that harm your skin. So do yourself & your skin a favor-start eating nuts!
- Pistachios (my favorite!)
- Almonds
- Walnuts
6. Whole Grains
As time goes on I get more used to choosing whole grains over white breads. It's tough to make a change from something you've probably been eating your whole life, believe me I'm going through it! The bottom line is that switching to whole grains is one of the best habits to change. No matter which way you look at it they are just better for you and unless you have a really high metabolism they will be better for your waist!
Whole grains will give you clear & moisturized skin as well as several other benefits. They are high in B-vitamins and rutin which helps counteract inflammation and repairs damaged skin. When I think of antioxidants bagels are not the first thing to come to mind so this is a great tip to remember! You don't have to drown yourself in acai juice to get plenty of antioxidants!
Here are a few things to try:
- Whole Wheat Bread
- Whole Grain Buckwheat
- Mushrooms
- Avocadoes
Hopefully these tips will help you get on the right track to better skin and health! I'm trying to make better decisions and there's nothing like awareness to get you started! I'm also using the My Fitness Pal App on my iPhone to help track calories and be more aware of portions. Please share in the comments section if you have any skin health tips!

Seems warm to me. I got a 40" 120hz LED LCD for a little less than this, and that was over a year ago. After all those amazon TCL 40" deals for $200-$260 over the holidays, it's hard to get excited about this one.
frankqfrank ( ) Apr. 12, 2012 at 10:38am
Not bad, seems to be about 10% off everyone else.
I'll go thumbs up because I personally would prefer buying a $400 name brand LCD over a $300 off-brand 120hz LED-LCD.
LED backlighting offers some nice perks when done properly, but cheap brands seem to just want to label the TV as "LED," to make the sets thinner, and generally not care much about bad backlighting. They just know "LED" is a buzzword that lets them price the TV 10% higher so in go the LED backlights and the masses of buzzword sheep flock to them. I can hear them coming, with their usual beliefs that you can compare televisions by reading the specs on the box and picking the one with the most "features".
"120Hz" is again another buzzword that lets them mark up the TV further without worrying about picture quality. When done well, the "120hz" effect can be cool, but most TVs warrant just turning it off.
pcgamer4life ( ) Apr. 12, 2012 at 10:45am
I bought this as an open box from Best Buy a month ago for $350 (the new units were marked down to $399, but only had open box left in stock). I love this TV, but beware, it has ONLY optical out for sound, not even a headphone jack. As such, I can't use my Turtle Beach headset with it until I buy a digital/analog decoder, or get a new headset. This may not be a dealbreaker (it wasn't for me), but it definitely is a negative.
After a bit of googling, looks like I have the 40E210, which has no analog out, this unit appears to have it.
Great price!

does anyone know how newegg delivers the tv's? Specifically, does one have to be home when it is delivered?
elliottmr ( ) Apr. 12, 2012 at 11:15am
I own this TV and it is very nice. Colors are nice and the sound is decent. I am not 100% if this is a newer model than mine, but, the only complaint I have about mine is the TV stand.
For what it's worth...
The TV does not sit well in the stand (a fork-like attachment is screwed to the TV and then the two prongs from that attaachment are set into the base to hold it upright), it is pretty wobbly. I would recommend mounting it over using the stand.
besthijacker ( ) Apr. 12, 2012 at 12:07pm
I like this TV. Bought it year ago from amazon for around ~$400. Been pretty good so far.
I think deliveries for TV's under 42' are done by UPS/Fedex, well at least for Amazon. Would assume same goes for Newegg

Community serves up Christmas for 45th members
By Traci Chapman
In May 2010, Oklahoma National Guard and Army Reserves officially opened an armory they said they hoped would enhance Mustang and the surrounding communities.
On Sunday, those communities came together to bring some Christmas cheer to soldiers who serve their country there.
Volunteers headed by Lila Hoover, Sandy Malega and Kathy Matthews worked with Rhonda Yackeschi, 45th FIB family readiness support assistant, to serve Christmas dinner to more than 600 National Guard members and their families. Mustang preschool and elementary school students wrote letters and created works of art for the occasion, while soldiers' children were able to visit with Santa. A magic show and ventriloquist were on hand for entertainment, and craft activities and music rounded out the day, said Col. Mike Chase, commander of the 45th FIB Oklahoma Army National Guard.
"The community's support and hard work on this were beyond anything we could ever have asked," Chase said. "We were overwhelmed with this wonderful event."
National Guard members travel to Mustang on weekends to drill, with many of them working, attending school, or both, during the week. The extra time spent away from their families can be difficult, especially at the holidays, but this event – designed for soldiers with their families – was a unique experience.
"It was just over the top," he said.
Hoover, who was appointed one of the brigade's community representatives, said all of the hard work paled in comparison to the sacrifice of soldiers who gave so much of themselves for their country.
The 176,000-square-foot armory is the training site for about 1,400 soldiers, as well as about 140 soldiers who work full time there. The armory is also used by community groups, such as the Mustang Chamber of Commerce and others, for meetings and other uses.

Brian Shapiro takes a hard look at accounting standards and practices.
I earned a B.A. in ancient Near Eastern studies and a B.A. in Latin from the University of Minnesota. My original plans were to earn a Ph.D. in ancient N. Eastern studies with an emphasis on cuneiform studies, and I wanted to conduct research on the sociocultural origins of the stories in the book of Genesis, but at the time those academic departments were shrinking at universities. My interest in languages and theoretical systems eventually led me to my graduate studies at the University of Minnesota, where I earned a Ph.D. in business administration with a concentration in accounting and a minor in cognitive psychology.
During my nearly 27 years of teaching at the Universities of Arizona, Minnesota, and St. Thomas, I have taught undergraduate financial accounting, undergraduate auditing, and graduate accounting information systems. At the University of St. Thomas I also co-teach a senior undergraduate capstone course in theology with Dr. Michael Naughton on the interface between faith and the management professions. The theology course draws from my undergraduate studies, my research on social theory and accounting, my Reform Jewish upbringing, and my experience as a Buddhist monk in training at a monastery in Bangkok, Thailand when I was 17.
As a graduate student at the University of Minnesota I learned how to design, conduct and analyze the results of psychology experiments on human subjects. My first few published research papers investigated the psychology of causal reasoning and the psychology of decisionmaking. This behavioral decision research paradigm investigates the social and psychological determinants of how people make decisions, and beginning in the early 1980s it challenged the prevailing neoclassical economic theories of rational behavior and efficient markets. My own research contributed to a growing body of literature on how different ways of framing or describing the same underlying situation can significantly influence people's decisions, contrary to the predictions of the prevailing economic theories. Critics of the behavioral
research paradigm claimed that if only we gave our human subjects the proper incentives, they would have conformed to the predictions of economic theory, but eventually Daniel Kahneman (a leader in the behavioral paradigm) won the Nobel Prize in Economics. More recently, the global financial crisis has further demonstrated the limitations of
financial economic theories of human incentives and capital market behavior. The important lesson here is that market-based theories of human behavior are not just intellectual games; they can be seriously mistaken, and when they are implemented dogmatically in actual organizations they can have very significant (and sometimes disastrous) human consequences.
My Ph.D. thesis and some of my subsequent research investigated the psychology of auditors' judgments. The rationale for this research was that once we have a more complete understanding of the cognitive mistakes auditors make, we can prescribe decision aids to improve their performance. After completing my graduate studies I joined the faculty at the University of Arizona. I lost interest in studying the psychology of auditor judgment when I realized that many of the widely publicized audit failures at the time were not so much
attributable to auditors' unconscious cognitive limitations, but rather had more to do with auditors' conscious decisions to reduce audit costs or with their lack of economic independence from clients. Although most auditors and most companies adhere to high professional standards and high quality financial reporting, former companies such as WorldCom and Enron illustrate that even just a few bad apples can have a major adverse impact on the financial markets.
While teaching undergraduate Intermediate Financial Accounting at the University of Arizona I grew further disillusioned when I realized that financial accounting standards on such topics as leases, pensions, post-retirement health care obligations, and executive compensation violated what is commonly referred to as the Conceptual Framework of Financial Reporting. The flaws in many of those accounting standards were not attributable to how reasonable people will disagree about how to best implement financial accounting and reporting; instead, powerful business lobbies pressured the Securities and Exchange Commission and members of Congress to support standards that were not conceptually or theoretically sound but instead benefited their constituents' interests.
At the University of Arizona I published two papers critiquing the financial accounting standard-setting process. I used theories of discourse ethics from linguistics, sociology and philosophy to document how political power and economic interest rather than the force of the better argument can shape the evolution of financial accounting standards. Among other topics, I critiqued the Business Roundtable's opposition to proposals to expense the cost of executive stock options on the income statement and to recognize liability for promises to pay employee retirement health costs.
Both accounting proposals would have more accurately reported corporate financial results, but they also would have materially reduced companies' reported profits and consequently could have significantly reduced the size of executive compensation packages. Major debacles from Enron to AIG and Lehman Brothers have vividly demonstrated the consequences of our highly politicized financial accounting standard-setting process. It will be interesting to see whether the implementation of international financial reporting standards under the auspices of an international standard-setting body within a few years will reduce the pressure that U.S. business lobbies can exert on the future evolution of corporate accounting standards.
In addition, while at the University of Arizona, my colleagues and I used experimental economics methods to test an economic game theory of auditor independence and ethical behavior in a multiperson setting. One of our studies yielded counterintuitive evidence that people who score higher on a widely used measure of moral reasoning were more likely to misreport financial results in order to make more money. We speculated that people who score higher on measures of moral reasoning may sometimes more easily establish trust and collude with other like-minded individuals. That paper received the University of Oklahoma McLaughlin Prize for Research in Accounting Ethics in 2003.
After spending six years at the University of Arizona I returned to the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management, where I continued to critique accounting and business practices. One paper critiqued public accountants' failed attempt to provide meaningful Web privacy assurance. At that time, a company could in principle receive a clean seal of approval even if its privacy practices violated most norms of expected behavior, so long as the company accurately disclosed its practices in fine print. It bothered me that the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants did not exercise its leadership to actively promote more consumer-friendly corporate privacy practices. Privacy assurance practices and disclosures have since improved significantly during the past decade, but new privacy concerns continue to evolve and surface in social media circles, medical care and other arenas.
Another of my studies investigated curtailment of post-retirement health benefits. Most of the employer promises to pay the benefits to retired employees were not legally binding, even though they gave their employees oral assurances that they would continue to pay the benefits. The previous financial accounting standards did not require companies to report the associated liabilities and fund the promises. Many of the companies eventually faced financial difficulty and subsequently reduced or eliminated the retirement health benefits. I used theories of discourse ethics from linguistics and sociology to analyze and morally evaluate the impact of false oral assurances on employee beliefs. The study also documents the adverse human and social consequences of faulty accounting standards. A haunting parallel exists today in the arena of public pensions, where state and local governments have significantly underreported and underfunded their past promises.
After spending more than six years at the University of Minnesota, in 2004 I joined the faculty at the University of St. Thomas Opus College of Business. My recently published research (with Professor Diane Matson) provides a critical history of corporate resistance to internal control reporting, from the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 through Sarbanes-Oxley (2002). Another paper critiques the failure of scientific accounting research to proactively investigate and critique flaws in corporate governance and executive compensation. In my view, at least until recently, mainstream accounting research published in the so-called top accounting journals in North America during the 1990-2003 period (before Sarbanes-Oxley) placed too much weight on flawed empirical studies and abstract mathematical theories in financial economics. Many of those studies erroneously concluded that executive compensation packages were designed in a manner that was socially optimal even though not perfect. Recent market experience has since tempered enthusiasm for the standard financial economic theories, and many of the elite business schools now recognize the descriptive validity and scientific rigor of the alternative behavioral finance and behavior economics research programs.
My current research investigates how narrative traditions, spiritual traditions, and other cultural bases of accountability norms shape the policies and practices of some business organizations. During my fall 2011 sabbatical I plan to use the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management Framework to systematically investigate how some business organizations translate their corporate mission statements and other abstract principles of responsible business practices into actual organizational policies, procedures and activities. This line of research has clearly been shaped by my active involvement with the University of St. Thomas Center for Catholic Studies, and I appreciate the financial and logistic support from our UST Opus College of Business Center for Ethical Business Cultures.

Does the Genesis creation account come from the Babylonian Enuma Elish?
The Enuma Elish is a Babylonian creation myth that is named after its opening words, "When on high." It was discovered in the ancient Royal Library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh (current day Mosul, Iraq) in 1849. George Smith translated the text and released his work in 1876 in the book, The Chaldean Account of Genesis.
In an article entitled "Why Does the Universe Look so Old?" Dr. Al Mohler, President of Southern Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, counted the Enuma Elish among the "Four Great Challenges to the Traditional Reading of Genesis" (Acts and Facts, October 2010). He writes, "As scholars began to study these documents, some began to see Genesis as just one more ancient Near Eastern creation story." Needless to say, the ancient myth has been the catalyst for much skepticism regarding the creation account in Genesis.
It seems that the discovery and research of the Enuma Elish has brought about at least two major claims against the Genesis account of creation. First, because the Enuma Elish and Genesis creation account have many similarities, it is argued that Moses must have used the Enuma Elish as a source for his own creation account. Second, because the Enuma Elish exists as a Near Eastern creation myth, along with a handful of others, it is argued that Genesis, being a Near Eastern creation account, must also be a myth. Both objections are best answered by detailing the vast differences between the two accounts, and understanding that the nature of Genesis is far different than any of the ancient Near Eastern myths.
Professor Kirk Spencer from the Criswell College in Dallas, Texas gives this list of similarities between the Enuma Elish and Genesis creation account in his manuscript entitled, Ancient of Days: An Orientation in the Ancient World:
- Enuma Elish begins "when on high"; Genesis begins "in the beginning"
- Enuma Elish shows a connection between giving of names and existence; in Genesis, the naming of objects is of importance.
- Both Enuma Elish and Genesis imply primeval chaos in the beginning, that is, if you interpret darkness and emptiness as chaos.
- In both, water is divided into upper waters and lower waters.
- Enuma Elish is recorded on seven tablets, and the Genesis creation is completed in seven days.
- In the Enuma Elish man is created in the 6th tablet, and in Genesis man is created on the 6th day.
- In Gen. 1:2 the word translated "deep" is the Hebrew word "tehom." Some scholars equate it with the Babylonian goddess Tiamat. [Etymologically both words probably are derived from a root originally meaning "ocean" or "deep", yet it is clear that among the Hebrews the root never took on the mythological connotation that it did among the Babylonians.]
As stated earlier, many biblical scholars have concluded that the similarities between the Enuma Elish and Genesis creation account show that Moses must have borrowed his information from this ancient Babylonian myth. It is important, however, to also mention the differences. This list is also derived from Professor Kirk Spencer's aforementioned manuscript:
- Genesis is monotheistic, while Enuma Elish is clearly polytheistic.
- Enuma Elish is clearly mythological, but Genesis is not only non-mythological, but anti mythical. It is a polemic against pagan mythology. Genesis makes clear that the things mankind worships as gods are little more than the creations of the one God.
- In the Enuma Elish, as almost all other near eastern creation myths, creation is accomplished through conflict and warfare with lots of noise. In the Genesis account, however, we find a profound sense of peace and quiet. The opposite of warfare and conflict can be seen in the instant obedience of God's divine fiat, "And God said . . . "And it was so . . . "
- In the Enuma Elish, magic incantations are the ultimate source of power, thus making the gods subject to nature or magic. In Genesis, power is manifest in the commands (fiat) of God, and nature is one of His obedient subjects.
- Babylonian gods are identified with nature, but God, in Genesis, is Creator of, and distinct from, all creation.
- The Genesis account systematically includes all general realms of nature. The Enuma Elish omits major aspects of creation such as vegetation, animals, the sun and light.
- In Genesis, God forms the heavens and the earth on the first three days. This does not take place until the fourth tablet of Enuma Elish.
- In Genesis, man is created from clay to rule over the creation. In Enuma Elish, man is created from a god's blood to be slaves of the gods.
- The first chapters of Genesis are clearly a creation epic. Enuma Elish, within its historical context, was clearly not primarily a creation story, but rather a hymn of praise to Marduk. It was in essence mythological propaganda to put Marduk at the head of the pantheon so as to exalt the city of Babylon and enhance Hammurabi's power.
After comparing the two accounts, it becomes clear that if one is to base a conclusion off of the similarities alone, then some important differences are being ignored. In the Genesis account, Moses purposefully portrays a monotheistic God who operates within the parameters of organization and peace. The Enuma Elish is polytheistic and the gods operate within the parameters of war and violence. Furthermore, Moses seems to choose his words carefully in describing God's creation. For example he writes that God created, "the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night," as opposed to using "sun" (shemesh) and "moon" (sin), perhaps knowing that many may misinterpret the account as God creating lesser gods.
It is also important to note that the Enuma Elish is a Mesopotamian myth, influenced heavily by the surrounding region which consisted of two rivers feeding into a Gulf. The land between (meso) the rivers (potamia) is where we get the word "Mesopotamia." Ancient Babylon was located here, near the Tigris and Euphrates, which are both fresh water rivers. These two rivers feed into the Persian Gulf, which is a salty water mass. The Euphrates and Tigris both carry sand and silt into the Persian Gulf which creates a Delta. This is important because the Enuma Elish begins with Apsu (god of fresh water) and Tiamat (goddess of salt water) giving birth to the other gods and goddesses. That is, the Enuma Elish seems to be a creation story influenced by its region. Like the Delta being formed by the two rivers so are the Enuma Elish gods formed by the "mingling" of Apsu and Tiamat. Genesis, on the other hand, depicts the single God doing the creating, not the other way around.
Another challenging issue for the Enuma Elish has been the question as to when it was recorded. The story has been said to have been written anywhere from the 18th century to the 12th century BCE. Many believe that Genesis was recorded in the 15th century during Israel's wanderings in the wilderness. Either way, it is highly unlikely that Moses, with all of the biblical history recorded about him, would have borrowed creation history from a polytheistic civilization existing to his respective east, while he lived and served a monotheistic God in the respective west.
Knowing the issues of the differences, the monotheistic and polytheistic natures, the obvious influence from the Mesopotamian region, and the unsettled dating of the recording, it is safe to conclude that it is highly unlikely that Moses borrowed or was influenced by the Enuma Elish. Genesis is far different in nature than any of the ancient Near Eastern creation myths and therefore must not be considered among that fold.

For the past twenty years, when asked who my music favorites were, my answer has been consistent: the Righteous Brothers or Bing Crosby, depending on my mood. Truth is, I couldn't pick one over the other.
Bobby Hatfield, the tenor half of the Righteous Brothers, passed away in his hotel room in Kalamazoo, Michigan on November 5, 2003, the day he was scheduled to perform a show at Western Michigan University. Surfing the web just hours after the initial wire reports were posted, I came across that horrific, early-morning jolt. He was 63.
I have long been a dyed-in-the-wool fan of the Righteous Brothers and their music, and from the early 80s to the early 90s, I was a significant collector as well. My collection consists of an original tour poster from their 1974 reunion tour; tour books; rare import CDs; myriad mint albums, from their first to their last; and a good number of mint 45s, including many of their picture sleeves from the 1960s. And I am not ashamed to admit that sometime in the early 80s, I developed a teenage crush on Bobby, what with that blond-streaked hair, great tenor, and glowing and humorous stage poise.
The Righteous Brothers' live shows provided some memorable times. At one show, my future husband, stepdaughter, and I sat at a front table. She was eight years old at the time — by far the youngest face in the crowd. Yet she was a huge fan and knew all of the old songs. While standing up on her Dad's lap, she kept shouting, "play Little Latin Lupe Lu," and the boys obliged. Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley, the other Righteous brother, picked up on her presence, and they proceeded to bait us from the stage. They asked her to stand up, cracked jokes about their own ages and her youth, and in the end, they were so pleased to know that she was at the concert because she begged her father to take her there.
In fact, her journey to becoming a Righteous Brothers fan started via using Dad's albums as ramps for her Hot Wheels cars, nevertheless, she certainly proceeded to get more sophisticated from that point on.
Another fond memory was meeting Bill Medley, the baritone Righteous Brother, at his Music City club in Fountain Valley, California, sometime around 1990. Oh was he ever handsome, I thought. And that deep, rich voice. After a short exchange with this blubbering, young fan, Mr. Medley proceeded to kiss my hand in the friendliest manner before we parted. My husband, standing nearby, and thinking of the Brady Bunch episode where Davy Jones kisses Marcia's cheek and she gushes, "I'll never wash my cheek again," said to me in facetious tones, mimicking Marcia Brady, "Oh, but will you ever wash your hand again?"
Three months after Hatfield's passing, and after reading the various accounts of Hatfield's career, I note that each newspaper commentary sounds exactly like the one before it. Looking at these, one would think that the Righteous Brother's catalog doesn't go beyond "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'," "Unchained Melody," and "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration." Alas, commercial radio in the United States is such that there is no airplay time for songs beyond these top hits.
Essentially, the Righteous Brothers were the birth of blue-eyed soul. They were at the forefront of airwaves integration with their rich, soulful, R&B-inspired voices. R&B outlets started playing their music, thinking they were black. A 1960s Billboard article titled "Blue-Eyed Artists Herald Musical Integration of Airways" says that "George Woods, an air personality with WDAS, Philadelphia, came up with the term Blue-Eyed Soul to cover these two white artists now receiving airplay on R&B stations. Once the barrier was down, R&B stations began spinning other white artists who could be said to have soul."
Like many artists of their time, Bobby Hatfield and Bill Medley were captured and inspired by black music, and especially the gospel sound. They got together in 1962, and made their most superb R&B music in the early years — 1963 through 1966 — when they were recording and releasing records for the Moonglow label, with Bill Medley acting as the producer. But it was the boys' association with Phil Spector, beginning in 1964, that produced their biggest and most memorable hits, and with him as producer, they became a huge national act.
It is said that they were quite skeptical of the musical style they were producing under Spector, as his overproduction method was a radical departure from their unembellished and straight-up Moonglow recordings. Though the Righteous Brothers recordings with Spector were indeed somewhat cyclic, he made them into mainstream pop stars and allowed the rest of the world to discover these previously-unknown treasures. All the same, their pre-Spector, Moonglow recordings and post-Spector, Verve recordings remain as their finest work.
However, only four or five Righteous Brothers, Spector-era songs are common enough to receive mainstream radio airplay, and judgment of the brothers' musical repertoire is too often based on that token output. Even their style of dress, consisting of orderly-looking, pleated white bucks, bowties, matching turtlenecks, and church-boy haircuts, downplayed the tremor that was about to occur when they let it rip with their harmonious and thundering vocals.
If truth be told, if you haven't heard their songs like "My Babe," "Stranded in the Middle of Noplace," "Try to Find Another Man," "Little Latin Lupe Lu," "This Little Girl of Mine," "A Man Without a Dream," "On this Side of Goodbye," "Justine," "Go Ahead and Cry," "Fee-Fi-Fidily-I-Oh," "Hung on You," and the rest of their catalog of raw, unbridled rock 'n' roll, then you have not yet heard the complete excellence or the full breadth of the Righteous Brothers. The religious and gospel roots of the brothers is evident with magnificent songs such as "He" and "In that Great Gettin' Up Mornin'."
Bobby Hatfield's solos within the duo's recordings are breathtaking, and faultless to boot. Solo efforts such as "Ebb Tide," "Unchained Melody," "Something's Got a Hold on Me," and "For Your Love" are just a few examples of what this man was capable of. His voice is so rich, so light, so practiced, and so uniquely Bobby Hatfield, that it almost seems surreal. He was certainly the most gifted tenor of his era, and in my opinion, the most dazzling rock 'n' roll tenor to ever lay down a vocal track.
I am going to miss Bobby Hatfield's voice. I am going to miss the boys' annual stops in Detroit, and indeed, I have not missed a single, local show since the 20th Anniversary reunion tour in 1982. Contrary to the Righteous Brothers song "A Man Without a Dream," Bobby Hatfield was very much a man with a dream. And he made it all come true.
Rest in peace, dear Bobby. You really are in Rock 'n' Roll Heaven.

Lirik Lagu Fun – Some Nights
Some nights, I stay up cashing in my bad luck
Some nights, I call it a draw
Some nights, I wish that my lips could build a castle
Some nights, I wish they'd just fall off
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know anymore…
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh
This is it, boys, this is war – what are we waiting for?
Why don't we break the rules already?
I was never one to believe the hype – save that for the black and white
I try twice as hard and I'm half as liked, but here they come again to jack my style
And that's alright; I found a martyr in my bed tonight
She stops my bones from wondering just who I am, who I am, who I am
Oh, who am I? mmm… mmm…
Well, Some nights, I wish that this all would end
Cause I could use some friends for a change
And some nights, I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights, I always win, I always win…
But I still wake up, I still see your ghost
Oh Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for, oh
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know… (come on)
So this is it? I sold my soul for this?
Washed my hands of that for this?
I miss my mom and dad for this?
No. When I see stars, when I see, when I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one, so come on
Oh, come on. Oh, come on, OH COME ON!
Well, this is it guys, that is all – five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure if anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home; Sorry to leave, mom, I had to go
Who the fuck wants to die alone all dried up in the desert sun?
My heart is breaking for my sister and the con that she call "love"
When I look into my nephew's eyes…
Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things that can come from…
Some terrible lies…ahhh…
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
Oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh
The other night, you wouldn't believe the dream I just had about you and me
I called you up, but we'd both agree
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance… oh…
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance… oh…

A busy day around our Doylestown Bed and Breakfast today. Our inn keeper, Lorna, was over at Delaware Valley College getting the word out about our renovations and new amenities. We had a meeting and finally ironed out an exceptional corporate rate for weekdays.

After our meeting, I took some pictures of the inn (will be posted soon) and scooted over to Cyborg1, a local store, to pick up a present and a couple other things. The employees were real helpful and friendly and like most Doylestown shopping, the store was inviting and very well organized.

Both days, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. rain or shine, families will be able to see craftsmen at work producing the necessities of earlier life, rather than just reading about the tasks people had to do.
There will be demonstrations of blacksmithing, glassblowing, open-hearth cooking, sheep shearing, Colonial brewing, furniture making, painting, spinning, weaving, pewter casting, broom making and paper cutting (scherenschnitte), as well as making leather goods and hand-sewn rugs.
Find the rest of the article here.

text: Palin on 'True' State of the Union: 'Venal Politicians' Bankrupting Nation Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 13 Feb 2013 post a comment Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin wrote Wednesday that America is a nation being bankrupt by a federal government led by "venal politicians" in her response to President Barack Obama's State of the Union Address. "What is the true state of our union? Though this may sound harsh, I'll speak the truth here," Palin wrote. "We are a country going bankrupt to fund a bloated, distant, and often corrupt federal government led by venal politicians more concerned with paying off their campaign cronies and consolidating their own power than in preserving the constitutional republic that so many have fought and died for (including our brave men and women in uniform who were barely mentioned last night)." Palin has assailed the "permanent political class" since her landmark speech in Indianola, Iowa in 2011 that introduced that language into the political bloodstream. Director Stephen K. Bannon and Peter Schweizer's Government Accountability Institute have assailed D.C. as a "boomtown" that produces nothing but continues to get wealthier by expanding the size and scope of government. During the State of the Union address on Tuesday, Palin live-tweeted with the "#SOTUGottaBKiddingMe" hashtag, assailing Obama and Washington, D.C.'s permanent political class for their cronyism. After the speech, Palin called out Obama for not honoring slain ex-Navy Seal Chris Kyle or U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens during the address. After attending Kyle's funeral on Monday, Palin said Obama needed to "pay his respects" to the fallen American hero. "If you missed President Obama's State of the Union address last night, you didn't miss much – especially if you watched any of his past four State of the Union addresses," Palin wrote. "We heard the same recycled rhetoric, and we heard his Orwellian declaration that the cornucopia of new federal programs he proposed, as well as his intention to eradicate world poverty, wouldn't 'increase our deficit by a single dime.'" Palin also referenced Paul Krugman, "one of President Obama's economic cheerleaders at the New York Times," who last week was "remarkably candid" when he said "death panels and taxes is how we do this." "But wait, I thought there'd be no such thing as 'death panels,' liberal liars?" Palin asked sardonically. "This is the long-term forecast for the state of America under Obama's failed policies: middle class taxes and death panels," Palin wrote. Left-wing politicians and journalists ridiculed Palin when she predicted the Affordable Care Act would lead to bureaucratic death panels rationing treatment. Politifact named "death panels" its Lie of the Year in 2009. "Our country didn't weather a Revolution, two World Wars, a Civil War, a Great Depression, and countless other political and economic storms, just to be sunk by the dangerous policies of this current administration," Palin wrote. "We're stronger than this. As President Reagan said, 'I do not believe in a fate that will fall on us no matter what we do. I do believe in a fate that will fall on us if we do nothing.'" Palin concluded by urging Republicans to get ready for the 2014 midterm elections: "So, do something. 2014 is just around the corner. Get motivated! Get organized. America, don't retreat. In the words of yet another White House program, 'Let's move.'"

Whether you're in Rome for a weekend break or longer, there are many famous landmarks to discover. With almost 3000 years of history, Rome is known as the Eternal City and listing five great things to do doesn't really do it justice, but some of the popular reasons people visit include:
Completely encircled by the city of Rome, the Vatican City is its own independent state. Most official guided tours include visits to the Sistine Chapel, St Peter's Basilica and Vatican museums.
A trip to the largest remaining Roman-era amphitheatre anywhere in the world is a must on your visit. The Colosseum was built in 70 AD and we recommend a tour guide when visiting the world's most famous structure.
The Pantheon is one of the most amazing buildings of ancient Rome. It was built in 120 AD as a temple to all the Gods but later it was converted into a Christian church.
If you have enough time on your visit to Rome then a day trip to Naples and Pompeii is well worth it. Make sure you visit the Gulf of Naples, where Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D, destroying the town of Pompeii.
The cobbled streets are mostly car-free and the restaurants and cafes serve up some of the cheapest but tastiest food in Rome.
Cheap flights to Rome are available all year round at Jet2.com. Flights go from Leeds Bradford, Manchester and Glasgow.

Pentek PCC-218 Scale Reduction Filter Video Transcript
Hey everyone, Aquaman here with FilterDoctor.com. Today were looking at the Pentek PCC-218. This is an industry standard size cartridge, approximately 10 inches long by 2 ½ inches in diameter, which means its going to fit into a vast array of industry standard size filter housings, like for example, the popular Pentek 158642 that you see here. Now, the PCC-218 is a hexametaphosphate scale reducing filter. Now, theres a lot of difficult science involved here to explain this, but the best way for me to describe it is, its kind of like a water softener. Thats not whats really going on but thats the best way for you to relate to it. Whats really happening is this filter is not removing anything from the water like a typical filter. Its actually adding a small amount of food grade hexametaphosphate into the water, and that phosphate bonds with the various minerals in your water; things like calcium, magnesium and iron. It makes it difficult for those minerals to bond to one another and for them to precipitate out of solution and form scale. It also coats the metal surfaces of your plumbing inside the pipes, and your faucets, and on your shower head; making it difficult for the minerals to bond to those surfaces, forming scale. Now, its not a 100% perfect solution for everyone, its only good in situations under 15 grains per gallon of hardness, or situations with less than 1 part per million of iron. If youre above those levels, you need to get into a sodium ion exchange water softener, because thats the only thing thats going to fix levels above those numbers I just mentioned. Now the only difference between the PCC-218, this cartridge, and the PCC-212 is the amount of hexametaphosphate beads inside of the cartridge. This filter, the 218, has more than double the amount of hexametaphosphate in the cartridge, so it will add a higher dose of phosphate into the water more rapidly than the PCC-212 will. If you dont want this high a dose, then you need to look into the PCC-212. Now, determining filter life is very difficult because its going to depend on your unique circumstances. High levels of hardness, high levels of iron and heavy water usage are going to cause the hexametaphosphate to deplete much more rapidly than otherwise. So, I strongly recommend that this cartridge be installed in a filter housing with a clear sump, because then you can visually inspect the level of the beads. You can hear them; and through a clear sump youll be able to visually see them and know when youre getting low on hexametaphosphate and then replace the cartridge. Again, this is a scale reducing filter, it is the Pentek PCC-218, and Im your host Aquaman with FilterDoctor.com. Thanks for watching.
See detailed specifications and purchase the Pentek PCC-218 here.

Grain Salads
Wild Rice Confetti Salad
Wild rice makes an earthy, nutty backdrop for a salad. The "confetti" in this salad are bits of corn, carrot, and other colorful veggies. This is a hearty salad for any time of year, and is great for picnics and potlucks. more→
Composed Quinoa Salad Platter
This composed salad featuring quinoa and red beans looks fancy enough to impress company, but it's super-easy to prepare for an everyday meal. You can use regular, red, or black quinoa, or a combination. Serve with some seasonal roasted veggies (squashes, Brussels sprouts, roots, etc.) and/or a warming soup. Or keep it simple and just serve with baked or microwaved sweet potatoes. more→
Kañiwa Confetti Salad
Kañiwa is, like quinoa (to which it is related), a super-nutritious ancient grain from South America. It's an excellent source of protein and amino acids, is exceptionally high in iron, and is gluten-free. Dark reddish-brown in color and about half the size of a tiny quinoa seed, kañiwa cooks up quickly to resemble a smaller version of red quinoa. more→
Tabbouli-Style Quinoa and Black Bean Salad
I can't seem to get enough of tabbouli-type salads. I especially like them made with quinoa. Here I use a combination of red and regular quinoa that, combined with black beans, makes a high-protein salad that's hearty enough to be a main dish. more→
Tabbouli Salad (with Quinoa, Bulgur, or Couscous)
Quinoa tabbouli (alternately spelled tabbouleh) is a recipe that seems to be gaining over its more traditional counterpart, made with bulgur. Both ways are good, though I prefer it with quinoa, which is higher in protein, and gluten-free as well. That being said, whole-grain couscous works, too! A Middle Eastern classic and one of my favorite salads, this is delicious served with hummus and fresh pita bread, a variety of olives, and rice-stuffed grape leaves. more→
Wild Rice Salad
Wild rice adds a nutty crunch and elegance to salads. This is a wonderful companion to squash dishes, and makes an excellent room temperature side dish for holiday meals. more→
Pineapple Rice Salad
This luscious main-dish salad is a crowd-pleaser — it makes a generous portion, and so is a good potluck dish. Brown rice mingles with chewy baked tofu, pineapple chunks, broccoli and bell peppers. Leftovers are great in for portable lunches, packed in a container. Adapted from The Vegetarian Family Cookbook. more→
Mexican-Flavored Quinoa Salad
If you're looking for a great quinoa salad that is pretty enough for company but easy enough for everyday meals, try this one. For lunch, it's all you need, other than a fresh fruit. For dinner, it's great served with baked sweet potatoes and vegan quesadillas. Or pair it with one of VegKitchen's warming fall harvest soups. Recipe and photo contributed by Wendy Polisi, reprinted by permission from Cooking Quinoa.* more→

WASHINGTON (AP) - A law enforcement official says some guns owned by the mother of the gunman in the Connecticut elementary school rampage match the models of the guns used in the shooting.
The official cautions that investigators haven't conclusively linked the guns used in the rampage to the ones the woman owned.
The official says state police records show the woman had legally purchased five firearms and all were registered in Connecticut. Authorities are still trying to account for all the guns.
The official was not authorized to speak to reporters about the investigation and spoke only on condition of anonymity.
Authorities say the woman's 20-year-old son killed her Friday, then opened fire inside the school in Newtown, massacring 26 people, including 20 children, then killed himself.

Video: Bobby V f/ Lil Wayne – 'Mirror'
Bobby V reunites with Lil Wayne in the video for "Mirror," the first single off his fifth album Dusk Till Dawn, due October 2. The R&B crooner takes a look at his reflection as he performs alongside his scantily-clad co-stars in a cut-off denim vest. The Rob Dade-directed clip features cameos from Ace Hood and Red Café.
In addition to Weezy, Dusk Till Dawn includes collaborations with Kirko Bangz and K. Michelle. "This is my fifth album, and it's such a blessing to have been in the music industry for over 10 years," said Bobby. "I'm grateful to have a strong supporting cast of fans, family, friends, and a record label that believes in me. Some of my biggest influences, such as Jodeci and D'Angelo, unfortunately only got to put out two or three albums, so I'm ecstatic to be where I am in my career. Trust me, the grind ain't gon stop!"

The Best Heritage BBQ in America
As in, joints that have been there for fifty years or more. And they're still turning out the same great food that brought people there in the first place.
By Jim Shahin
Lem's Bar-B-Q
311 East 75th Street, Chicago, Illinois; 773-994-2428; lemsbarbq.com
Chicago is a ribs-and-hot-links town. The two preferred types of ribs are baby backs and rib tips — those fatty, gnarly, tender morsels at the end of a rack of spare ribs. Lem's is all about the tips, which it cooks in the classic Chicago way — in a tempered-glass-enclosed, steel-bottomed smoker known as an aquarium pit. Detractors say this tiny South Side institution has lost a step since two brothers opened it more than a half-century ago. But for a bite of Chicago history, it's still worth placing an order through the bulletproof glass.
