Concerning trespasses against our neighbour. (1-7) Concerning the burnt-offering. (8-13) Concerning the meat-offering. (14-23) Concerning the sin-offering. (24-30)
Verses 1-7 Though all the instances relate to our neighbour, yet it is called a trespass against the Lord. Though the person injured be mean, and even despicable, yet the injury reflects upon that God who has made the command of loving our neighbour next to that of loving himself. Human laws make a difference as to punishments; but all methods of doing wrong to others, are alike violations of the Divine law, even keeping what is found, when the owner can be discovered. Frauds are generally accompanied with lies, often with false oaths. If the offender would escape the vengeance of God, he must make ample restitution, according to his power, and seek forgiveness by faith in that one Offering which taketh away the sin of the world. The trespasses here mentioned, still are trespasses against the law of Christ, which insists as much upon justice and truth, as the law of nature, or the law of Moses.
Verses 8-13 The daily sacrifice of a lamb is chiefly referred to. The priest must take care of the fire upon the altar. The first fire upon the altar came from heaven, ch. 9:24 ; by keeping that up continually, all their sacrifices might be said to be consumed with the fire from heaven, in token of God's acceptance. Thus should the fire of our holy affections, the exercise of our faith and love, of prayer and praise, be without ceasing.
Verses 14-23 The law of the burnt-offerings put upon the priests a great deal of care and work; the flesh was wholly burnt, and the priests had nothing but the skin. But most of the meat-offering was their own. It is God's will that his ministers should be provided with what is needful.
Verses 24-30 The blood of the sin-offering was to be washed out of the clothes on which it should happen to be sprinkled, which signified the regard we ought to have to the blood of Christ, not counting it a common thing. The vessel in which the flesh of the sin-offering was boiled must be broken, if it were an earthen one; but if a brazen one, well washed. This showed that the defilement was not wholly taken away by the offering; but the blood of Christ thoroughly cleanses from all sin. All these rules set forth the polluting nature of sin, and the removal of guilt from the sinner to the sacrifice. Behold and wonder at Christ's love, in that he was content to be made a sin-offering for us, and so to procure our pardon for continual sins and failings. He that knew no sin was made sin (that is, a ( 2 Corinthians. 5:21 ) only pardon, but power also, against sin, ( Romans 8:3 ) .
Leviticus 6:1-7 . TRESPASS OFFERING FOR SINS DONE WITTINGLY.
2-7. If a soul sin, and commit a trespass against the Lord--This law, the record of which should have been joined with the previous chapter, was given concerning things stolen, fraudulently gotten, or wrongfully kept. The offender was enjoined to make restitution of the articles to the rightful owner, along with a fifth part out of his own possessions. But it was not enough thus to repair the injury done to a neighbor and to society; he was required to bring a trespass offering, as a token of sorrow and penitence for having hurt the cause of religion and of God. That trespass offering was a ram without blemish, which was to be made on the altar of burnt offerings, and the flesh belonged to the priests. This penalty was equivalent to a mitigated fine; but being associated with a sacred duty, the form in which the fine was inflicted served the important purpose of rousing attention to the claims and reviving a sense of responsibility to God.
Leviticus 6:8-13 . THE LAW OF THE BURNT OFFERING.
9. Command Aaron and his sons, saying, This . . . law of the burnt offering--In this passage Moses received instructions to be delivered to the priests respecting their official duties, and first the burnt offering--Hebrew, "a sacrifice, which went up in smoke." The daily service consisted of two lambs, one offered in the morning at sunrise, the other in the evening, when the day began to decline. Both of them were consumed on the altar by means of a slow fire, before which the pieces of the sacrifice were so placed that they fed it all night. At all events, the observance of this daily sacrifice on the altar of burnt offering was a daily expression of national repentance and faith. The fire that consumed these sacrifices had been kindled from heaven at the consecration of the tabernacle [ Leviticus 9:24 ], and to keep it from being extinguished and the sacrifices from being burned with common fire, strict injunctions are here given respecting not only the removal of the ashes ( Leviticus 6:10 Leviticus 6:11 ), but the approaching near to the fireplace in garments that were not officially "holy."
Leviticus 6:14-18 . THE LAW OF THE MEAT OFFERING.
14-18. this is the law of the meat offering--Though this was a provision for the priests and their families, it was to be regarded as "most holy"; and the way in which it was prepared was: on any meat offerings being presented, the priest carried them to the altar, and taking a handful from each of them as an oblation, he salted and burnt it on the altar; the residue became the property of the priests, and was the food of those whose duty it was to attend on the service. They themselves as well as the vessels from which they ate were typically holy, and they were not at liberty to partake of the meat offering while they labored under any ceremonial defilement.
Leviticus 6:19-23 . THE HIGH PRIEST'S MEAT OFFERING.
20. This is the offering of Aaron, and of his sons--the daily meat offering of the high priest; for though his sons are mentioned along with him, it was probably only those of his descendants who succeeded him in that high office that are meant. It was to be offered, one half of it in the morning and the other half in the evening--being daily laid by the ministering priest on the altar of burnt offering, where, being dedicated to God, it was wholly consumed. This was designed to keep him and the other attendant priests in constant remembrance, that though they were typically expiating the sins of the people, their own persons and services could meet with acceptance only through faith, which required to be daily nourished and strengthened from above.
Leviticus 6:21-30 . THE LAW OF THE SIN OFFERING.
25-28. This is the law of the sin offering--It was slain, and the fat and inwards, after being washed and salted, were burnt upon the altar. But the rest of the carcass belonged to the officiating priest. He and his family might feast upon it--only, however, within the precincts of the tabernacle; and none else were allowed to partake of it but the members of a priestly family--and not even they, if under any ceremonial defilement. The flesh on all occasions was boiled or sodden, with the exception of the paschal lamb, which was roasted [ Exodus 12:8 Exodus 12:9 ]; and if an earthen vessel had been used, it being porous and likely to imbibe some of the liquid particles, it was to be broken; if a metallic pan had been used it was to be scoured and washed with the greatest care, not because the vessels had been defiled, but the reverse--because the flesh of the sin offering having been boiled in them, those vessels were now too sacred for ordinary use. The design of all these minute ceremonies was to impress the minds, both of priests and people, with a sense of the evil nature of sin and the care they should take to prevent the least taint of its impurities clinging to them.

Apr 29th 2010 1:07PM I have a question for you gurus at the Queue:
Have we heard any word yet on whether the current leveling pace will be altered in Cataclysm? You can pretty much fly through the old world content up until around level 70 now, especially with heirloom gear. Is Blizzard planning to slow that down so people will actually spend time in the newly revamped old world zones, or will you still be able to zip right through it in the race to 85?

In three sharp, dazzling novels published in the 1980s and '90s, the British writer Alan Hollinghurst wrote about promiscuous gay men cruising through a womanless landscape of public lavatories, gyms, showers, and bars. With observant, precise, and naturalistic prose, he depicted a freewheeling subculture of complex, lusty, love-hungry, if not always likable, men. He nailed how they looked, talked, schemed, and, every few pages, very graphically, how they had sex. No serious writer has lavished more attention on the shape, tilt, and variety of the human penis.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. But those intense early books look narrow next to Hollinghurst's great, spacious new novel, The Line of Beauty. Here, for the first time, he writes explicitly about AIDS, rarely mentioned in his early work. And here, for the first time, are women mothers, mistresses, neurotic girls, and even a cameo by Margaret Thatcher. Hollinghurst has placed his gay protagonist within a larger social context, and the result is his most tender and powerful novel to date, a sprawling and haunting elegy to the 1980s.
The narrative begins in 1983 as 20-year-old virgin Nick Guest moves into the posh London home of his straight college friend (and secret crush), Toby Fedden. Toby's ambitious father, Gerald, has just been elected to Parliament in Thatcher's Tory landslide, and Nick, a budding aesthete fleeing a drab provincial upbringing, is enthralled by the family's glitzy lifestyle. It's an era when, as one character puts it, ''people just plummet upstairs,'' and that seems to be happening to Nick. He loves the pretentious paintings lining the Feddens' walls, the expensive French furniture, the invitations from luminaries, the country place in France. Nick wanders through Toby's starstudded, drug-fueled 21st-birthday celebration, drunk and giddy: ''Like his hero Henry James, Nick felt that he could 'stand a great deal of gilt.'''
But he's not completely shallow. Yet. Even as he is drawn into the Feddens' orbit, Nick embarks on an earnest affair with Leo, a frank, saucy West Indian who lives with his pious mother in a dowdy apartment decorated with religious paintings. Hollinghurst captures the fluid moods of Nick's first, tender weeks with Leo the suddenly sinking stomach, the unexplained elation, the terror of loss building sympathy for a character who might not deserve it.
And Nick may not. Just as Nick and Leo's romance seems about to blossom, Hollinghurst cuts to 1986. Leo has dropped from the picture and Nick has ripened into a jaded arriviste. His new lover, Wani Ouradi, is a pretty poster boy for decadent '80s hypocrisy, squiring around a fiancée while secretly addicted to cocaine, porn, and gay threesomes. In the long, extravagant party scene that marks the novel's chilly turning point the Feddens' over-the-top 25th anniversary Nick dances with Thatcher, then retreats to a bathroom for sex with a flirtatious male waiter and Wani, who's so coked up he begins bleeding from the nose. Should it come as any surprise that it all ends badly?
Actually, yes, given that this is a Hollinghurst novel, where partying has never led to punishment. But the gilded world Nick has mindlessly inhabited does indeed collapse as scandals erupt and AIDS begins claiming the men in his life. Hollinghurst handles the arrival of the disease with characteristic, devastating restraint. Consider the last time Nick sees a shockingly wasted Leo: at a distance, in a bar, a ''little woolly-hatted figure...who had once been his lover.'' Nick doesn't approach him; instead, terrified and lost, he picks up another man and leaves. Like the novel, the moment is cool, dry, heartbreaking.

This Week in DVD: Tinkers, Tailors, Muppets, Tattooed Girls, Easter Bunnies, Babysitters, Serge Gainsbourg and More
Features By Rob Hunter on March 20, 2012 | Comments (1)Hey kids, it's This Week In DVD time again! There's a whopping six releases worth buying this week, and four of them are foreign language flicks. Make of that what you will. Look below for my recommendations on Gainsbourg, The Sitter, Hop, The Muppets, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and… Clown Hunt? As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Battle Royale It's the near future, and Japan has grown so tired of their violently out of control youth that they've organized an annual event featuring a randomly chosen class forced to fight to the death on a distant island. This release has been a long time coming. The movie is over ten years old, but while it's utterly fantastic this is the first US release for reasons of misguided political correctness. It's wonderfully violent and bloody film that also happens to have some interesting things to say about society and the cycle of violence… but you can ignore all that if you choose and just focus on the stylishly violent encounters between kids, cliques and even friends. Anchor Bay has released the film in two versions. The single disc only includes the director's cut, which adds some interesting character bits but is slightly inferior to the theatrical. The one listed to the right though is their beautiful four-disc set that includes the theatrical and director's cuts plus the mediocre sequel plus multiple extras.
We all know that the news channels prefer stories about death, destruction and bad things headed your way, but absent from much of the fear mongering are stories pinpointing legitimate sources of concern. I'm speaking of course, about slug-like aliens from outer space. Thankfully filmmakers have been far less afraid to expose the slimy and deadly threats from the stars. From Night of the Creeps to Slither, the movies are clearly the place to go if you want the truth about the dangers of intergalactic gastropods. 1983's The Deadly Spawn exists on a far lower profile than those two, but it follows a similar pattern. Space slugs land on Earth and quickly begin offing humans in grotesque ways. The action here is centered almost exclusively in a single house as a trio of nerdy high-schoolers and a horror-loving pre-teen find themselves trapped with the mutating and multiplying monster. Cue the face munching.

- 184.108.40.206 Introduction
- 126.96.36.199 Background Information
- 126.96.36.199 Examination Guidelines
This IRM section contains specific examination guidelines for an organization recognized as exempt from income tax under IRC section 501(a) as an organization described in IRC section 501(c)(16). It provides examination techniques effective in identifying and developing issues commonly encountered during the examination of an IRC 501(c)(16) organization.
These guidelines provide specific assistance for the examination of an IRC section 501(c)(16) organization and are not all-inclusive. The purpose is to supplement the guidelines contained in IRM sections 4.75.10 through 4.75.13. The intent is not to restrict the examiner in identifying issues or using examination techniques not included herein.
This IRM does not contain detailed technical information regarding IRC 501(c)(16) organizations. The examiner should review the technical information contained in IRM 7.25.16.
IRC section 501(c)(16) provides exemption from Federal income tax for corporations that are organized by a farmers' cooperative marketing or purchasing association exempt under IRC section 521 for the purpose of financing the ordinary crop operations of members or other producers. The financing corporation must be operated in conjunction with the marketing or purchasing association.
Determine whether the organizing farmers' cooperative is an association or corporation concurrently exempt under IRC section 521. If the farmers' cooperative is exempt under IRC section 521:
Obtain copy of its determination letter.
Inspect the farmers' cooperative annual tax return.
Inspect the governing instruments and evaluate the actual operations to determine whether:
The organizing IRC 521 organizations, or members, hold substantially all of the voting stock.
Nonvoting preferred stock, if issued, does not have the right to participate in the profits of the organization, on dissolution or otherwise, beyond the fixed dividend rate.
Verify that the dividend rate on all stocks does not exceed the greater of:
The legal rate of interest in the State of incorporation or
Eight percent per annum on the value of the consideration for which the stock was issued.
Determine the purpose of, the necessity for, and the reasonableness of reserves. Ascertain whether the organization has accumulated and maintained a reserve required by State law or a reasonable reserve for any necessary purpose, such as the erection of buildings required in the business operation.
If the examiner identifies any problems or concerns regarding the farmers' cooperative, he should consider requesting involvement by SB/SE or LMSB.

The J.C. Penney watch continued last month as the retailer reported a huge loss—$348 million—for its first quarter. The nation's most closely critiqued retail chain performed even worse than had been expected, reporting a 16 percent drop in sales compared to last year to continue its long decline in sales.
Last week, the chain secured a $2.25 billion dollar loan. At least some of that money will go toward turning its home departments into mini-shops for designers including Jonathan Adler, Michael Graves and Bodum.
I'd like to offer up a radical idea for J.C. Penney to save a few bucks—it could stop paying CEO Mike Ullman. Not because he's doing a poor job—he's not. Even the most nitpicky would have a hard time criticizing Ullman's efforts thus far. He deserves high marks for quickly shoring up J.C. Penney's credit line and taking swift action—including a widely viewed public apology—to get back old customers who were alienated by Ron Johnson's efforts to turn the store into Target Junior.
Unrelated to performance, the reason J.C. Penney should approach Ullman to see if he'll defer his pay for at least a short while is simple: He's probably having so much fun at his job, maybe he'd do it for free.
Despite the constant pressure of trying to halt the chain's freefall into irrelevance, Ullman surely must recognize that he is in the midst of a rare, only-in-dreams situation where he has replaced his replacement. Johnson, the golden boy, failed miserably. J.C. Penney shareholders went crying back to Ullman.
Imagine how many times a day Ullman stops himself from saying "I told you so" out loud.
Ullman has wasted no time in undoing many of Johnson's most notable moves. He's already announced plans to bring back the St. John's Bay and Arizona private labels, which obviously weren't up to Johnson's trendy standards. Ullman emphasized in a recent call with analysts that J.C. Penney will bulk up, in general, on private label offerings.
Meanwhile, the chain has returned to promotions and sales with a vengeance, as Ullman disavows Johnson's everyday low pricing strategy.
The most symbolic—and potentially the most obvious—change that Ullman has apparently made is to move away from the J.C. Penney logo that was unveiled under the Johnson regime. Johnson's much-ballyhooed logo was a small square block within a block reading "jcp," representing the chain's disastrous fair-and-square pricing strategy. This logo still appears on the company's website, but some recent promotional pieces feature a new, clean logo that simply spells out the company name in lower case letters.
So, if Ullman recognizes that he's enjoying his job too much to receive a paycheck—even if just for a short while—his deferred pay could go toward the fee for the new logo. This is all coming together nicely.
If revenge really is a dish best served cold, perhaps it's even better served free.

I'm a little blender happy because as I told you, I really, really missed having one in Lille. Yesterday I made this strawberry type dessert and the pictures turned out amazing but the recipe turned out kind of yucky so, because I have blog integrity, I couldn't post that. I decided to make Wanda's Lemon Meringue Pie instead but when I looked at the ingredients there was way too much sugar in it for an ordinary week day…I'll save that for friends! In the same notebook as I was going to write the pie recipe in, I came across this old recipe.
In January, 2011, I went to Kona, Hawaii to a Holistic Healing Arts Centre for a week. All of the food there was organic and some of it grown in their own garden. All week long we had plate after plate of the healthiest most delicious food you could ever ask for! With the hours or swimming we did per day, the food was the perfect compliment really. My bum looked nice when I came home.
Anyways, I was so fortunate that the cook let me watch him and help him cook. I tasted the most delectable smoothie one morning and absolutely had to get the recipe. I also got the recipe for maybe 5 other dishes as well! The thing is, he was a "little bit of this, little bit of that" type of cook. I am too so it wasn't a problem, but for building a recipe on a blog, it pretty much has to be in exact quantities…so here is my adaptation of the recipe with quantities for you!

Venue Rental
Venue Rental ^
Droplabs is available as a venue space for both public and private events. We've hosted business meetings, workshops, user group meetups, corporate trainings, job fairs and launch parties.
The Lab / Classroom:
- Daytime: $65 / hr with a minimum of 4 hours (i.e. $260 minimum)*
- Evenings: $65 / hr with a minimum of 3 hours (i.e. $195 minimum)*
The Classroom is a configurable space and can accommodate groups of several sizes:
- Boardroom style with chairs, tables and projection space: 12-16 people
- Cafe style with tables, chairs and projection space: 14-18 people
- Classroom style with tables, chairs and projection space: 20-25 people
- Open floor style with projection space, a few tables and no chairs: 50-60 people
Need extra chairs? No problem. We can provide extra chairs for $30 a day.
*Hourly venue rental fees may be reduced by up to $15 / hour if a keyholding Droplabs member is invited to participate in your event. Contact us with details of your event.
Booking Fee / Security Deposit
- We have a $50 booking fee for the room (100% refundable at the beginning of the event). We require this in order to reserve the space for you and put the event on our calendar;
- We also have a $50 cleaning deposit per room (100% refundable after the event so long as the space is returned to the same or better condition it was in when it was provided);
- As a convenience, at the beginning of the event the $50 booking fee can roll over to the security / cleaning deposit. This means that you can reduce the number of transactions with Droplabs to one refundable $50 transaction.
To summarize, to book your event with us you will need to pay the hourly fee for the room(s), a booking fee and a cleaning fee / security deposit. As a convenience, the booking fee rolls over to the security / cleaning deposit, so it is just one $50 transaction. For example, one 4-hour event in our main room is just $310 — and $50 of that is refundable after the event.
Cancellation Policy
In the event that you cancel your event, please give us notice at least 24 or more hours prior to the start of your event. If you must cancel (and you cancel with less than 24 hours of your event), we will retain your security deposit / booking fee and the rental fee for that event.
We Host Meetups! ^
We may waive part of our usual venue rental fees if a Droplabs keyholding member is interested in the event and willing to represent Droplabs during the event and open and close the space. All other requirements for venue rental must be met, including our booking fee and security deposit / cleaning fee.
Book Your Event ^
Ready to book your next event? Contact Us or pay online for Space Reservation.
Prices subject to change. Visit this page often or subscribe to our newsletter to hear of any price changes and new services.

I have a Philips Magnavox Model 7P5441 C101 Television Chasis Number PTV780-AH01 and when you try to turn it on there is a wire burn smell, so I took the back panel off and look into the board and had my wife to try to power it on with the remote and there is a round ceramic disk capacitor that sparks and is burned through.
I got a magnifying glass and looked on the board and at the capacitor there is a number C811 it looks like or it could be CB11, it is the only Brown Round Ceramic disk Capacitor there on the right board when looking in from the back. I tried to call and get a schematic but can get no one to help me, I would appreciate very much if you could help. I was going to purchase a capacitor off of the internet that looks like it but I do not want to purchase the wrong one, and also if you do not mind in which way does it go in as the side with the numbers, I think they go toward the front of the Television correct? Please send help to my email address would you please, Thanks Again. Thank You
Follow-Up Postings:
After the above Television went out I went and purchased another one Just like it and it works good but the color is very bad on it, I tried to adjust with the remote and got it somewhat better and then I took the back off to adjust and it got a little bit more better but it is still bad, is there anything I can do to make it better? Model: 8P4844C101 Chasis Number: PTV810-AH01 Thanks |

Apple Announces iPhone 5
Soulskill posted more than 2 years ago | from the who-would-have-guessed dept.
Today Phil Schiller took to the stage at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, where he announced the long-expected iPhone 5. The casing is made entirely of glass and aluminum, and it's 7.6mm thick, which is 18% thinner than the iPhone 4S. It weighs in at 112 grams, which is 20% lighter than the 4S. Schiller confirmed that the iPhone 5 has a 4" display, with a resolution of 1136x640. It's a 16:9 aspect ratio. The screen is the same width as a 4S, but it's taller. To accommodate older apps, they either center the app or add black bars to make it look right. The new device also has LTE support. Tim Cook spoke earlier about the iPad, making some interesting claims: "Yes, we are in a post-PC world." He also claimed 68% tablet market share for the iPad, and says iPads account for 91% of tablet-based web traffic. The event is continuing, and we'll update this post as further announcements appear. A real-time liveblog is being quickly updated at Ars Technica. Update: 09/12 18:16 GMT by S : Further details below.Further details: for the iPhone 5, Apple also added support for HSPA+ and DC-HSDPA. The dynamic antenna is an improvement over the 4S, and can switch connections. In the U.S. LTE partners are AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. On to processing: the iPhone 5 runs an A6 chip that's twice as fast as the A5, in addition to being 22% smaller. Rob Murray from EA got up on stage to show a racing game, claiming that the graphics "have been built to full console quality." Battery life for the phone will be roughly 8 hours for either 3G talk-time or browsing. Engadget has a feature-by-feature comparison to the 4S.
The new phone's camera has an 8-Megapixel sensor, with a resolution of 3264x2448. It includes a hybrid IR filter, an f/2.4 aperture, and a five element lens. And a sapphire crystal lens cover, for whatever that's worth. There's a new feature for taking panorama shots (claimed 'breakthrough software,' though similar software already appears on actual cameras), and new software for automatically sharing pictures.
Apple also detailed the new connector, dubbed 'Lightning.' It's entirely digital, and 80% smaller than the old connector. It can be plugged in in either direction. Apple has created a bunch of adapters to let old cables and hardware work with Lightning. They then spoke at length about iOS 6, which will run on the iPhone 5, and demonstrated their new Maps app, which includes turn-by-turn directions (also in 3D using a 'cinematic camera'). "Apple is betting heavily on Passbook and other features to give it a leg up in the competition over Google Android and the upcoming Windows Phone 8." Pre-orders for the iPhone 5 start on Friday, and the device will start shipping on September 21. iOS 6 will roll out on September 19.
Apple's Eddie Cue went on stage to discuss changes to iTunes and the iPod. iTunes has been redesigned to work better on the iPad, and, more importantly, iCloud integration has been built in. They've also made a 'mini-player,' which takes up much less screen real estate. The new iTunes will be available in late October. Changes are coming for iPods as well. The new iPod nano looks like a mini iPod Touch. It's 38% thinner than the previous model, but has a bigger, 2.5" multitouch display. It contains an FM tuner with DVR functionality, it has a Home button, and it uses the Lightning connector. The iPod Touch is now 6.1 mm thick and weighs 88 grams. It has a Lightning connector port too, in addition to the headphone jack. The screen is bigger; it's a 4" display, the same as the iPhone 5. It runs on a dual-core A5 processor that's twice as fast as the previous model. Graphics are claimed to be seven times faster. The battery allows for 40 hours of audio playback or 8 hours of video playback. The camera has been upgraded to a 5MP sensor. The iPod Touch comes in colors now. But not grape. Apple also took the wraps off what they call "EarPods." They're like earbuds, but they don't form a seal within the ear. They let air flow continue, and a tiny speaker directs the sound into the ear. The EarPods will come standard with the iPhone 5 and with the new revisions of the iPod Nano, and iPod Touch.

Translate this page Man is charged with strangling woman 31 years after killingSaturday, February 5th, 2011 Issue 05, Volume 15.
Shelby Shamblin, now 48, is accused of killing 67-year-old Elizabeth Crossman on Jan. 17, 1980. According to the Riverside County District Attorney's Office, Crossman was sexually assaulted and strangled in her Florida Avenue residence, but Hemet police investigators had few leads in the case. Shamblin was identified as a possible suspect because the then-17-year- old had been hired to do odd jobs around the property by the victim's husband, said District Attorney's Office spokesman John Hall. "About a month after the murder, detectives interviewed Shamblin," Hall said. "He told them he had been a runaway at the time and had not been at the Crossman home during the days prior to the murder. Detectives were unable to gather enough evidence to Advertisement Forensic technicians took vaginal swabs and collected semen traces from Crossman's body, storing the evidence until 2002, when Hemet police detectives submitted it to the California Department of Justice for analysis, according to Hall. A DNA profile was entered into the state's Combined DNA Index System, with no potential suspects identified until last month, Hall said. He said a sample of Shamblin's DNA was collected after he was arrested on a drug charge in Homeland last Oct. 7. When the DNA match was confirmed, a warrant was obtained for the defendant's arrest, and he was taken into custody without incident Wednesday at his Homeland residence. Because Shamblin was a teenager when the crime occurred, his case will be handled initially by a juvenile court judge, according to Hall. A hearing is scheduled for 8 a.m. Monday at the Southwest Detention Center in Murrieta. 3 comments
Glad science & technology has caught up to be able to catch Mr. Shamblin. Lord knows who else he's terrorized in the last 30+ years he's been free and walking around in society. Good job Hemet police.
Frank YOU dont kno wht yu tlkin bout so dont worry bout it ight,ight now buh by
Well Frank....I'm glad these are coming together for the family's peace more than anything! I use to be his girlfriend when I was only in the 8th grade and His step brother and his self tried to rape me but I had gotten away. It looks like with the time frame, this was just a year apart from the actual murder. My incident happened a year before!

Big mountain skiing
In 1920s Germany there emerged a genre called "mountain films." They were fictional mountain-climbing adventure stories that strained the limits of cinematic technology and the endurance of actors as they ventured to places where movies had never gone, in the snowy wilderness on the roof of the world.
Many scenes from the documentary Steep rekindle the cobalt blue aura of those old German films. Steep concerns the origin and growth of big mountain skiing (or "extreme skiing" to use the current clich�), a sport that involves climbing beyond the well-manicured hills of the ski resorts and onto the craggier summits.

The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe is an amazing engine in a package full of soul, but as ever lacking a bit on the tech side. Buy it with your heart, not your head.
Pricing not available
The following cars represent the most technically advanced available.
For its 100th anniversary, Aston Martin produced 100 examples of the Centenary Edition Vanquish. A stunning vehicle by all accounts but XCAR believes the car that truly embodies the spirit of the British sportscar manufacturer is the legendary DB5. Possibly the most famous car of all and certainly one of the most beautiful.
Jock Horsfall was an Aston Martin racer who during the Second World War took part in covert military operations that helped the allied forces take Italy. XCAR explores how a road trip with a very special passenger helped win the war.
It's a stunner of a car that happens to seat four, though its beautiful interior is in dire need of a high-tech makeover.
Pricing not available
Aston Martin teamed up with Polyphony Digital to put the DP-100 Concept in to Gran Turismo 6. XCAR spoke to the guys behind it to find out what it means for the future of Aston Martin.
XCAR spent some time with the Aston Martin Rapide S, to find out whether adding more doors to an Aston ruined a good thing.
Aston Martin is making the Design Prototype 100 available for download in-game for GT6 in July, offering gamers a twin-turbo V12 mid-engined racer to play with.
The 2014 Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe is a looker in any hue, but we found it particularly head-turning in this shade of green, dubbed "Appletree."
The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is a car that removes the smooth, silky Aston Martin veneer and shows it true self - an angry, shouty driving machine.
This upgraded version of Aston Martin's stylish four-door is much more than just an options package.

I am planning to grow vegetables in my yard. I have some full sun area and some shady area. How do I distribute my vegetables between those two regions? I am planning to grow tomato, bell peppers, cluster bean, okra, Indian eggplant, spinach, gongura, thotakuta(Amaranth) and Bachali. My plan is to plant all the leafy greens in the shade and others in full sun. I live in texas, where the temperatures are above 100s for atleast a month. I get 2-3 hrs of direct sun in the shady region.Please let me know if I can plant the Indian greens in shade? |

You are planning is O.K. for Texas weather. Good luck. |

Thank you Chaman |
Amaranth will take full heat in AZ summer. I grew a red variety, not sure what kind and I had it on the west wall, in a little flower bed on the sidewalk where nothing will grow because of heat. Okra and amaranth are the only thing I've ever kept alive over the summer, although they are way too large for the size of the planter, they flourished last summer. We had the hottest summer on record and the amaranth went insane. Watch for caterpillars.. Some kind of caterpillar was stripping the leaves off and I had to pick the little guys off as they stripped the leaves completely bare. |

Srilunewgardener, Good selection. Except for Bachchali and Spinach all did well last summer with the horrid summer in Dallas area. every plant you mentioned need good sun excluding spinach and Bachchali. |

Is the muzzle device designed to fit the standard Carbine Barrel? Do you have to remove the front sight?
Many people don't like the adapter anyway, thinking it makes the weapon look like a toy
at all. you just would not be able to use the flash suppressor (it is decorative only ) and would not effect function.
Be sure that you are buying the right Tapco stock. My Intrafuse stock does not fit bull barrels but the model that fits the bull barrel is out there.
I hope this helps.

Can Random Processes Produce Biological Information?
Posted by jlwile on July 15, 2013
In a previous post, a commenter asked an off-topic question. I try to focus the comments section on the topic at hand, but the question is an important one, so I decided to answer it as a separate article. The commenter is well aware that I think random processes cannot produce biological information. He included a link to an article by Dr. Fazale Rana in which Dr. Rana makes the claim that a recent study demonstrates that biological information can be produced by random processes. Obviously, the commenter wanted my take on the article.Before I comment further, I want to make it clear that Dr. Rana has probably forgotten more biochemistry than I have ever learned. I have a lot of respect for him and am a big fan of his latest book. He and I disagree on some issues, but the issues on which we agree are far more numerous and far more important. This particular issue, however, represents one of the former. While I think the difference in our positions is largely semantic, it is important and worth defining.
In the article, Dr. Rana reports on a study1 that was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America. In the study, the authors compared the binding pockets of all known proteins in nature to a database of randomly-generated peptides (molecules that are very much like proteins but not large enough to be considered proteins). In order to understand the results of the study, you need to know what a binding pocket is.
A protein is a large molecule, but the workhorse of the protein is typically called its active site. When a protein needs to modify a molecule in some way, it attaches itself to the molecule at its active site. This active site is held in a region of the protein called the binding pocket. So the binding pocket is the area on the protein that contains the active site. An example of a binding pocket is given above. The drawing gives you a simplified view of a protein called phenylalanine racemase, a good example of a protein that is used in a wide variety of living organisms. The star points out the binding pocket.
In the study, the authors found that there were remarkably few varieties of binding pockets found in all the known proteins, and that all those pockets were able to bind (at least in some way) to something in the randomly-generated set of peptides. The conclusion, then, is that random chance could, indeed, produce biologically-active proteins. After all, if randomly-generated molecules could bind to the binding pockets of the known proteins of life, then those known proteins of life could also be randomly generated.
To me, the problem with such reasoning is rather obvious. Look at the drawing again. Notice how small the binding pocket is compared to the protein as a whole. While the binding pocket is an important part of the protein, it is not the only important part. I could easily create a protein that has the right binding pocket, but all that means is it will bind to the molecule in question. But once it binds, what will it do? Will it bind to and destroy the molecule? Will it coagulate with other proteins that have bound to other molecules and make a useless mess? Will it bind to the molecule and activate a function that will cause a destructive reaction to occur? Will it promote the reaction that the cell needs the molecule to undergo? What happens once the protein bonds to the molecule depends on the rest of the protein.
So we can't just analyze protein binding pockets. We must analyze proteins as a whole. When we do that, we find that unlike what Dr. Rana claims, it is very hard to produce a biologically-functional protein. For example, when a researcher considered more than just the binding pockets of proteins, he found2
…the overall prevalence of sequences performing a specific function by any domain-sized fold may be as low as 1 in 10(77), adding to the body of evidence that functional folds require highly extraordinary sequences.
In other words, to produce a biologically-functional protein by random processes, the odds are one in 1077. That is clearly beyond the reach of chance!
Now I said that the difference between Dr. Rana's position and mine is probably mostly semantic. In his article, he goes on to say that while biological information can be produced by random processes, the algorithmic information necessary for the biological molecules to function in the context of the cell is beyond the reach of chance. Perhaps the rest of the protein is what provides the "algorithmic" information. If that's the case, then we are essentially saying the same thing.
In my mind, however, the ability for a protein to bind to another molecule has little to do with biological information. It is necessary for the protein to do its job, of course, but it takes a lot more than binding to get the job done! Unless the protein can actually use its binding ability to do a biologically-helpful task, it contains no biological information. Thus, I don't see the relevance of this study to the issue of biological information.
However, the study does have relevance. Many drugs work by binding to a specific protein in order to inhibit its ability to do its job. Since this study indicates that there are relatively few binding pockets in biological proteins, this indicates that when I make a drug that binds to one protein, it probably will bind to many other proteins. As I see it, then, the main conclusion we can draw from this study is that drugs which bind to specific proteins probably will bind to lots of other proteins, which means that such drugs will have the possibility of several unintended side effects.

Dr. Wile,
It is a bit off-topic, but I had a question regarding the theory of evolution and its proponents' hypothetical time-line. I heard someone comment on a video [Bill Nye (big surprise!)], that the asteroid which supposedly caused the extinction of the dinosaurs also caused the extinction of all land creatures which didn't have a habitat which naturally protected them (i.e. ground-burrowing creatures).
If that's true, the process of evolution would have been set back a long way. According to the best models of evolution, would that even leave enough time to develop the current range of creatures on the planet?
I'd appreciate any thoughts you have on this topic. Thanks for keeping up this blog!

Dr. Wile,
Thanks for the response. This is probably what he had imagined when he stated that in the video. Here is the video: http://youtu.be/Agdvt9M3NJA?t=45s (it'll start playing 45 seconds in at the point where he says this.)
By the way, have you ever considered making a series of short, educational Youtube videos on young-earth and creationism science? I know they'd be a hit with a lot of homeschoolers and Christians.
Thanks again! I appreciate all your work in education!

We asked Katy Gardner to give us an insight into the inspiration for her debut novel, Losing Gemma, hailed as 'a real page turner', 'unputdownable' and 'an addictive novel' by booksellers across the UK.
Travel, especially to South Asia, has always been an important part of my life. After finishing my A-levels I journeyed with my sister on a double decker bus from Earl's Court to Kathmandu, then spent six months roaming around India with a school friend, eventually returning overland again through post-revolutionary Iran.
It was a life changing trip, and one which has strongly influenced Losing Gemma: in retrospect, like Esther, I was both terribly enthusiastic and terribly naïve. Once at university, anthropology gave me a structure for my yearnings for other places. It also provided me with a framework for analysing and understanding the world, something which has never left me. Most importantly, perhaps, the 'fieldwork' required in order to complete a doctorate in the subject involved living with and participating in the life of a community, a privileged opportunity to learn the language and really get inside a place. I decided to work in Bangladesh and subsequently lived in a village in Sylhet over 1987-1988. My experiences there have been written up both in academic form and also as a book of short stories, published by Virago in 1991 (Songs at the River's Edge: stories from a Bangladeshi village; currently published by Pluto Press). The experience changed my life. Whilst at times I found my transformation into the daughter of a Muslim farming family incredibly challenging, I shall never forget the friendship I received there. Since leaving, I have returned many times to the village – most recently in 1999, this time with a husband and two small children in tow! I should add that I have also done fieldwork in Britain, working with Bengali elders at a day centre in Tower Hamlets. Losing Gemma is not, however, about anthropology, but about how two young Western travellers relate to India and in writing it I was drawing most closely on my earlier travels rather than my experiences in Bangladesh. Perhaps the novel reflects my changing relationship with the sub-continent, a consciousness that the world is not always how it is imagined to be. Most of all, however, the book is about friendship, about moving on and growing up.

The come-as-you-are event is free and open to the public. The festivities start at 6 p.m.
"Eight Days After has a distinctly Southern, twin electric guitar sound," said Will Nichols, producer of the weekly music show. "They're the best Christian band around and they very well may be the best band around, period."
Comprised of Tim Chastain on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Will Arnold on lead guitar, Kyle Ridley on drums and Ricky Asher on bass, the two-time North American Country Music Association International's Band of the Year hails from North Georgia. Greg Young is the band's road manager.
The band's name, "Eight Days After," refers to the biblical account of Jesus revealing himself to "Doubting Thomas" and the other disciples in the upper room eight days after his initial post-resurrection appearance.
"All of the guys are exceptional musicians with years of experience," said Nichols. "Their focus is spreading the message of Christ and their music is influenced by a wide range of gospel, country, blues, rock and Southern rock. This special outdoor Jubilee is a great opportunity to experience them up close and to visit one of the area's premiere equestrian facilities."
Also appearing is singer-songwriter Elmer Bramlett, Southern Gospel singer Amy McAlister, and the Cowboy Church Band and Chorale.
Nichols, known as "The Gospel Gun," is host and announcer.
