Creation Conversion: From Atheist to Creationist
I have always loved science, partly due to the influence of my engineer father, who was heavily involved in research and development. While growing up, my free-time diet consisted of Mr. Wizard, Disney nature films, and doing science experiments. More...

Forensic Science Frustrated by 'Peer Review'
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, a house stood in ruins. What destroyed it? Did Sandy "total" it, or was it structurally defective well before the storm struck? Surely forensic science can help answer such questions, since it is supposed to be an objective process that seeks out and finds the truth about past events—and specifically cause-and-effect events.More...
Does Teaching Recent Creation Hinder the Gospel?
Christians who oppose recent creation often assert that faith in Christ does not require a belief in recent creation, and they argue that insisting that the world is only thousands of years old hinders sharing the gospel by adding an unreasonable barrier to belief. But believers should consider two reasons why recent creation actually supports the gospel. More...

Godfrey Optioned, Figueroa Recalled
Pedro Figueroa, long on the 40-man roster past when I thought he still would be was impressive in spring training. He also was impressive to start the year in Sacramento with 10.3 K/9 (though 5.1 BB/9) in seven innings of shutout work for the River Cats. Either the A's were very enamored of him, or they were very nonplussed with Graham Godfrey as Godfrey was demoted today following a tough outing against the Indians on Friday night. Figueroa becomes a fourth left-handed arm in the A's bullpen joining Jerry Blevins, Brian Fuentes and Jordan Norberto – too many southpaws for one pen if you ask me.
On the other hand I am not entirely sure what this all means for the fifth starter spot as the A's should need their fifth starter for the game to end the White Sox series next week, but regardless Godfrey looked pretty bad. In sixteen innings, he owned a 5.06 ERA with a 5.35 FIP. As he failed to K many (3.9 K/9), succeeded in walking a slew of batters (3.9 BB/9) and surrendered a decent number of HR's (1.1 HR/9). He has a remarkable BABIP of .245 but was not able to capitalize on it as he allowed runner after runner to reach via the walk, and didn't miss enough bats. His 4.4% swinging strike percentage was less than half the league average (9.0%) and was bettered even by notorious already for not missing bats Tommy Milone at 5.8%.
I have to assume this move portends a call up of either Jarrod Parker or Brad Peacock both of whom have looked very good for the River Cats in this short 2012 season.

There is an ad in the free section of Craigslist for used organic coconut coir from a greenhouse. Would this be good for adding to my compost, and could it be used as a mulch directly on the soil? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'd probably check it out.Here is a link to a Blueberry growing study that Colorado State University did using coir as one of the components.I've used it in some of my containers,along with peat and things grew well. Brady |
Here is a link that might be useful: Colorado State-Blueberries in Pot Project
I'd second Bradybb's thoughts, definitely worth checking out. Although I might be a bit suspicious as to why the GH is discarding it, disease issues maybe (but might be OK for you depending upon who's growing what)? I have used coir in my blueberries (CSU's mix), as well as for other potted plant mixes. It is a nice "organic" substrate that absorbs water well yet still allows for air spaces. Not sure how it would work in a compost pile, as one of it's main virtues is it is slower to break down than peat, bark and some other soil mix additives. But depending upon what you intend to do with your compost/soils, it may work well. If it were close to me, I'd grab it. |

Hello! I am replacing two 8 x 7 vintage wood tilt up garage doors from my 1932 garage. Before I have them hauled away to the dump, does anyone have any ideas for a recycle project? Or, could they be worth any money? Thanks in advance for your advice! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Don't know where you live but here in So. California they are hauled to Mexico where each one becomes a wall for someones Casa. I think you will do yourself a favor by having the installers of your new doors haul them away. |
Don is right--and pretty funny. Your installers can haul them away. I don't picture them on Ebay unless you have a photo of a silent movie star in front of them. |

Jilaine first started her yoga journey in 2001 and hasn't looked back since. After her very first hot yoga experience she was hooked. She says, "The way that yoga challenged me both physically and mentally was what kept me coming back."
Jilaine started working for lululemon athletica on 4 th St. and became inspired by the culture where she was encouraged to make and achieve goals and create reality from dreams.
During her time with lululemon Jilaine completed her first Teacher Training at Calgary Hot Yoga, and since then has completed level 1 and 2 with Baron Baptiste in Mexico.
What inspires Jilaine the most about yoga
is how much we can learn about ourselves through practice, and how we can then take the things we learn to improve our lives. She feels that there is much more to yoga than physical involvement; yoga encourages a strong mental awareness and allows us to be present in this moment.
Jilaine currently teachs full time at Hot Yoga on 17 th and Crowfoot where she is reminded everyday of the power yoga has to make make a difference in our lives. "I am so lucky to be able to do what I love everyday and be surrounding by amazing students, teachers and communities."
"If we wait until we're ready, we will be waiting for the rest of our lives" Lemony

March 22, 2010
By a vote of 219-212 the House of Representatives passed health care reform legislation on Sunday, sending it one step closer to going to the President to be signed into law. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (HR 3590) is identical to the legislation the Senate passed on December 24, 2009.
NAMI's positions are guided by our mission to improve the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness. The bill contains many provisions that NAMI has long sought, including further expansion of mental health insurance parity, prohibition of insurance company exclusions of pre-existing conditions, improvements to Medicare and Medicaid including expansion of long-term care assistance for those with functional impairment, comparative research into the effectiveness of treatments for serious mental illness and authorization of "centers of excellence" for medical research for major depression and bipolar disorder.
The House also passed a separate measure to enact a series of changes to the Senate bill-called the Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HR 4872). The Senate is expected to vote on the reconciliation bill later this week.
How Did Your House Member Vote?
View how your member voted on final passage of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (HR 3590) and how your member voted on the Reconciliation Act of 2010 (HR 4872).
The Senate will act on the reconciliation bill under regular expedited reconciliation procedures which allow for debate to be ended by a simple majority rather than the 60 votes necessary to end a filibuster. However, an unlimited number of amendments can still be offered. Advocates are encouraged to contact their two Senators to urge them to vote for the reconciliation bill which contains a number of improvements to the original health care bill already passed by the Senate and House, including:

Sacred Hands
The Torah or Pentateuch
The Jewish Bible is divided into three main parts: the Torah, or Pentateuch; the Neviim, or Prophets; and the Ketuvim, or Writings. Consisting of five books (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy), the Torah is considered to be the most sacred part of the Hebrew Bible because it is traditionally assumed that Moses composed it by divine dictation.
Here is a tenth-century manuscript of the Torah open to the account of the Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22:5). The two columns of the main text are written in a professional square script of which there are very few extant examples. The so-called Masorah - a set of rules of pronunciation, spelling, and intonation of the Bible designed to preserve and transmit the text accurately-is written in a mashait hand (formalized cursive script) and added in the margins and between the columns. A manuscript like this would have been written by up to four different scribes, including the main scribe for the consonant text, the naqdar or vocalizer, the accenter, and the masorete, who wrote the Masorah. As regards our manuscript, it seems that there were two scribes who wrote the consonantal text and the Masorah respectively. Probably, a third scribe wrote both the accents and the vocals.

She chooses the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Knowing that her younger brother, Jamie, has money and thus can help her with the serious cash flow problem she invites him along.Once settled into the museum, Claudia and Jamie, find themselves caught up in the mystery of an angel statue that the museum purchased at an auction for a bargain price of $250. The statue is possibly an early work of the Renaissance master Michelangelo, and therefore worth millions. Is it? Or isn't it? Claudia is determined to find out. This quest leads Claudia to Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler, the remarkable old woman who sold the statue and to some equally remarkable discoveries about herself.
Simon and Schuster
Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away...so she decided not to run FROM somewhere, but TO somewhere. And so, after some careful planning, she and her younger brother, Jamie, escaped -- right into a mystery that made headlines!

A New York Cyclist's State Of Mind
For the first time in ages, I've ridden the train nearly every day for the last two weeks straight. I can now safely say that this is the closest I've ever been to stark raving MADNESS.
I've loved this season's commute so far, as NYC's seen one of its mildest winters in years and I've been able to get away with riding in regular clothing (as opposed last year's Cycling Snow Beast ensemble).
But a couple of unfortunate events have thrown a wrench in my daily riding. First off, I nailed a foot-deep pothole on the way to the gym and haven't had a chance to repair my flat yet and, the day after, I got knocked over the head with a nasty chest infection. I'm now regaining full lung functionality (hip-hip hooray!) and I'm dying to get back on the road.
Maybe this sounds far-fetched, but my mood has been horrible since I stopped cycling every day. I'm grumpy the minute I set foot off the train in the morning and by 2 p.m. I need a central line for coffee just to keep myself upright.
I know all about endorphins and the warm fuzzy feelings that linger after you've gotten in a good workout, but I think this might have more to do with sunlight than anything else.
When I leave for work on the subway, the sun's barely made a dent in the darkness and by the time I'm ready to head home, it's long gone. It's kind of depressing, if I'm honest.
On the flip side, when I bike, I nab at least 40 minutes of rays (albeit the weak winter variety) in the a.m. and it wasn't until the last couple of weeks that I realized just how crucial that might be.
For my sake (and my job performance) I hope I feel more balanced once I get back into my normal routine.
I'm just counting down the days until spring really rolls in. I miss everything about riding in summer...can't wait for days like these again.

I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".

By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
In this series, Bob Jones University graduate David Buller recounts his spiritual and intellectual journey in which he came to a deeper understanding of the metaphorical nature of the Genesis creation account and no longer views evolution as contradictory to God's Word. It is the story of a courageous and truth-seeking heart.

NCsoft Announces Fiscal Year 2007 Results
Company reports consolidated sales of KRW 330 billion in 2007, operating profit of KRW 49.5 billion Operating profit, pre-tax profit and net profit show increase year over year
Thursday 14th February/... Seoul, South Korea NCsoft® Corporation (KSE: 036570.KS) today reported earning results for 2007. On a consolidated basis, sales came to KRW 330 billion (US$355.1 million), operating profit KRW 49.5 billion (US$53.3 million), pre-tax profit KRW 62.1 billion (US$66.8 million), and net profit KRW 45 billion (US$48.4 million). Although the company saw its sales drop 3% year over year, operating profit, pre-tax profit, and net profit increased 14%, 24% and 18%, respectively.
For the fourth quarter 2007, consolidated net sales recorded KRW 89.1 billion (US$95.9 million), operating profit KRW 12.1 billion (US$13.0 million), pre-tax profit KRW 14.1 billion (US$15.2 million), and net profit KRW 10.3 billion (US$11.1 million). The previous quarter sales were KRW 80.1 billion, operating profit KRW 9.7 billion, pre-tax profit KRW 13.7 billion, and net profit KRW 10.1 billion. The sales and operating profit increased 11% and 24% respectively quarter over quarter and pre-tax profit and net profit increased 3% and 2% respectively. Sustained sales from the Lineage® series and the release of Richard Garriotts Tabula Rasa® in November 2007 were the primary reasons for the quarter over quarter sales growth.
By region, fourth quarter sales came to KRW 52.6 billion (US$56.6 million) in Korea, KRW 15.1 billion (US$16.3 million) in North America, KRW 8.5 billion (US$9.1 million) in Japan, KRW 7.2 billion (US$7.7 million) in Europe, and KRW 2.5 billion (US$2.7 million) in Taiwan. Compared to the previous quarter, Korea and North America recorded 21% and 11% increases respectively, and Japan saw an increase of 9% from the previous quarter thanks to the release of the recent Lineage II content update. The percentage breakdown of sales by region shows 59% in Korea, 17% in North America, 9% in Japan, 8% in Europe, 3% in Taiwan, and 4% from royalty income. Of total sales, 41% was derived from overseas.

Licence - homes in multiple occupancy
Associated Legislation
The Housing Act 2004 Part 2 introduces Licensing of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs).
What is a HMO?
A building or part of a building is an HMO if it meets one of the following tests:
The standard test
Any building in which two or more families/individuals share basic amenities - amenities are bathroom, toilet or kitchen facilities.
The self-contained flat test
Any flat in which two or more families/individuals share basic amenities - amenities are bathroom, toilet or kitchen facilities.
The converted building test
Any converted building comprising one or more units of accommodation that are not self contained.
Certain converted blocks of flats - Section 257 HMOs
Any converted building comprising self-contained flats that do not meet the 1991 Building Regulation Standards and less than two thirds of the flats are owner-occupied.
Do all HMOs have to be licensed?
No. Under the Housing Act 2004 there are three types of licensing namely:
- Mandatory (has to be done) licensing of HMOs for properties that have 3 or more storeys (including habitable basements and attics) and 5 or more persons in more than one household.
- Additional licensing of other types of HMOs not covered by 1. For example, two storey HMOs occupied by three or more students or asylum seekers; or Section 257 Hmos.
- Selective licensing of other residential accommodation. For example, where there is low demand for housing and/or there are problems with anti-social behaviour.
Options 2 and 3 are discretionary, i.e. the Council may or may not choose to operate these licensing options. The Council is only operating option 1, mandatory licensing at the current time.
Why does the Government want HMOs to be licensed?
Larger HMOs, such as bedsits and shared houses, often have poorer physical and management standards than other privately rented properties. The people who live in HMOs are often amongst the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of society. As HMOs are the only housing option for many people, the Government recognises that it is vital that they are properly regulated.
Licensing is intended to make sure that:
- Landlords of HMOs are fit and proper people, or employ managers who are.
- Each HMO is suitable for occupation by the number of people allowed under the licence.
- The standard of management of the HMO is adequate. Managers are required to comply with the Management of Houses in Multiple Occupation (England) Regulations 2006
- High risk HMOs can be identified and targeted for improvement.
Where landlords refuse to meet these criteria the Council can intervene and manage the property so that:
- Vulnerable tenants can be protected
- HMOs are not overcrowded
- Councils can identify and support landlords, especially with regeneration and tackling antisocial behaviour.
How to apply
Using the EUGO Portal you can:
Apply and pay online for an HMO licence
Renew and pay online for an HMO licence
The licence will last a maximum of 5 years. If the property is sold and/or the licence holder changes within the 5 years a new application will be required.
Current Fee
The licence costs £390 for a new application or £270 for renewal of an existing licence. The licence fee covers the administration costs of processing a licence application. The licence fee is required at the time of application.
Further Information
Can the Council refuse to licence my property?
Yes, if the property does not meet the conditions required or the landlord or manager is not a 'fit and proper' person.
What will happen then?
If a landlord fails to bring an HMO up to standard, or fails to meet the 'fit and proper person' criteria, the Council can step in. They can request an Interim Management Order (IMO), which allows them to manage the property. The owner will still keep owner's rights. If the IMO expires (maximum 1 year) and there has been no improvement by the landlord, the Council can request a Final Management Order. This can last for up to five years and can be renewed.
Can I appeal?
You can appeal against a licence decision to the Residential Property Tribunal, normally within 28 days of any decision.
Appeals should be made to:
Southern England
Residential Property Tribunal Service
First Floor
1 Market Avenue
Tel: 01243 779394
Or 0845 1002627
Fax: 01243 779389
Temporary exemption from licensing
If a landlord or person in control of a property intends to stop operating it as an HMO or reduce the numbers of occupants and can give clear evidence of this, then he or she can apply for a Temporary Exemption Notice. This lasts for a maximum of three months and ensures that a property in the process of being converted from an HMO does not need to be licensed. If the situation is not resolved, then a second Temporary Exemption Notice can be issued. When this runs out the property must be licensed, become subject to an Interim Management Order or cease to be an HMO.
What are the penalties?
It is an offence if the landlord or person in control of the property:
- fails to apply for a licence for a licensable property; or
- allows a property to be occupied by more persons than are permitted under the licence.
A fine of up to £20,000 may be imposed. In addition, breaking any of the licence conditions can result in fines of up to £5,000.
Rent Repayment Orders
A tenant living in a property that should have been licensed, but was not, can apply to the Residential Property Tribunal to claim back any rent they have paid during the unlicensed period (up to a limit of 12 months). Councils can also reclaim any housing benefit that has been paid during the time the property was without a licence.

Remember Britney Spears' 2001 novel ''A Mother's Gift''? Maybe not, but ABC Family does. The network is adapting the book, cowritten with Britney's mom Lynne, as a TV movie, and Spears is close to signing on as an executive producer, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Lynne Spears is already signed on as an exec producer for the project, which is set to air in April, according to the trade paper.
Britney hasn't decided yet whether she would appear in the film, which would follow the book's story of a small-town teen singer who gets a scholarship to a fancy music school. Production is set to begin in Toronto in early 2004. Publisher's Weekly called the book ''slight'' and ''treacly,'' labeling it a ''didactic melodrama.'' In other words, it should be a great TV movie.

BAMAKU - The world's largest Muslim group called Tuesday, January 15, for a ceasefire in Mali, where French troops intervened to fight Islamists in the north of the African country.
We call for an immediate ceasefire in Mali and for all parties to go back to the negotiations which were led by Burkina Faso, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, Secretary-General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), said in a statement.
The OIC chief described the French military offensive in Mali as premature.
Shari`ah Penalties Anger Mali Muslims
We express deep concern over the military escalation, Ihsanoglu said, calling for maximum self-restraint from all parties at this critical time in order to reach a peaceful solution to this conflict.
France launched air strikes in Mali, an OIC member, on Friday to stop the advance of Islamist rebels in the north.
President Francois Hollande said Tuesday French forces had carried out further air strikes overnight which hit their targets", Reuters reported.
"We will continue the deployment of forces on the ground and in the air," Hollande said during a French military base in Abu Dhabi.
"We have 750 troops deployed at the moment and that will keep increasing so that as quickly as possible we can hand over to the Africans."
France plans to field a total 2,500 soldiers in its former colony to bolster the Malian army and work with the intervention force provided by the ECOWAS grouping of West African states.
As French aircraft bombarded mobile columns of Islamist fighters, other insurgents launched a counter-attack further to the south, dislodging government forces from the town of Diabaly, 350 km (220 miles) from Bamako.
French intervention has raised the risk for eight French hostages held by Al-Qaeda allies in the Sahara and for 30,000 French expatriates living in neighboring, mostly Muslim states.
Concerned about reprisals at home, France has tightened security at public buildings and on public transport.
The UN said an estimated 30,000 people had fled the latest fighting in Mali, joining more than 200,000 already displaced.
Mali, once regarded as a fine example of African democracy, collapsed into chaos after soldiers toppled the president in March, leaving a power vacuum in the north that enabled rebels to take control of nearly two-thirds of the country.
The French operations against Malian rebels have won support from Western allies.
"We have made a commitment that Al-Qaeda is not going to find anyplace to hide," US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta told reporters as he began a visit to Europe.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday welcomed the French-led military intervention in Mali and voiced the hope that it would halt the Islamist assault.
France, which has repeatedly said it has abandoned its role as the policeman of its former African colonies, is among the toughest proponents of a speedier deployment of the African troops, and convened a U.N. Security Council meeting Monday to discuss the crisis.
French U.N. Ambassador Gerard Araud told reporters after the meeting that the US, Canada, Belgium, Denmark and Germany had also offered logistical support for France's Mali operation.
"I felt that all the members of the Security Council were expressing their support (for) and understanding of the French decision," Araud told reporters.
No Europeans or other African Union members will be allowed in the defense chiefs meeting in Bamako on Tuesday, a western diplomat told Reuters, requesting not to be named.
"They don't want any French pressure at the meeting," the diplomat said.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Stompie!
Facts about Stompie
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: Gray, Blue Or Silver Tabby
- Age: Young
- Sex: Female
- Hair: Short
Stompie's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with cats.
Stompie is a beautiful 6 month old gray tabby. She and her siblings were rescued from the pound when they were only 3 weeks old. Stompie is a sweet, affectionate girl. She loves to be petted and brushed, even though she has a short coat. Stompie is a wonderful kitten that will make a great companion.
Other Pets at AZ Furry Friends Rescue Foundation
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Stompie, a Phoenix Domestic Shorthair cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Phoenix, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair cat from a breeder in Phoenix.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Phoenix already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Phoenix breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Phoenix paves the way for another one to be saved.

on April 10, 2013Nigel Cabourn isn't your average designer. The 40-year fashion veteran maintains a relatively low profile, eschews seasonal trends, and runs his operation from northern England (against all advice otherwise). Despite this or maybe because of this he's managed to acquire a cult following. His aesthetic a blend of workwear and military references is born from his love of vintage clothing. In fact, the designer has amassed a collection of more than 4,000 pieces, and cites it as a constant source of inspiration.
Folks looking to get their hands on Cabourn's coveted garments can look to L.A.'s Unionmade, which just received a delivery of spring goods both in-store and online. Included is a three-button, patch-pocket sport coat in olive and navy (seen above); a camo jacket; a lightweight and water-resistant hooded pullover; and a riff on the blue-collar chambray work shirt. But those are just a few of our favorites. Check out the full assortment at Unionmade.

Autodesk Unveils 3d Printer As It Aims To Become Industry's Android
samzenpus posted about 9 months ago | from the spread-the-wealth dept.
Hugh Pickens DOT Com (2995471) writes "BBC reports that Autodesk — the leading 3D modelling software-maker — is going into hardware with its own 3D printer and in addition to selling the machine, Autodesk will also allow other manufacturers to make their own versions of the printer or power their own models off its software at no cost. 'The printer is a bona fide attempt to prove the interoperability and open source nature of Autodesk's platform,' says Pete Basiliere. 'And by sharing its design we could see a second wave of small start-ups creating stereolithography machines just as the makers did when the early material extrusion patents expired.' Chief executive Carl Bass likened the new printer to Google's first Nexus smartphone, a product meant to inspire other manufacturers to install Android on their handsets rather than become a bestseller itself. In Autodesk's case the idea is to drive the adoption of its new Spark software, a product it likens to being an 'operating system for 3D-printing'. Although Autodesk is giving away both Spark and the printer's design, the company should still profit because the move would drive demand for the firm's other products. 'If 3D printing succeeds we succeed, because the only way you can print is if you have a 3D model, and our customers are the largest makers of 3D models in the world.'
Instead of the extrusion technique most commonly used by existing budget printers, Autodesk's printer uses a laser to harden liquid plastic to create the objects delivering smoother, more complex and more detailed objects. 'We're making a printer that, rather than just being able to load in proprietary materials, you can load in any material you want. You can formulate your own polymers and experiment with those. That's an important next step because we think material science is a breakthrough that has to happen to make [the industry] go from low-volume 3D-printed stuff to where it really starts changing manufacturing.' Bass said, its printer is targeted at more professional users–for creating small objects like medical devices or jewelry–and will likely end up closer to the $5,000 range, though exact pricing has not been set."

Manufactured exclusively for Alfaholics by the UK's leading motorsport magnesium wheel manufacturer. This wheel has been manufactured to the very highest standards and designed with meticulous attention to detail, in order to ensure that it is an exact copy of the original 1st series Campagnolo wheel. Particular attention was paid to the accuracy of the vent hole – the main aesthetic feature of the wheel. This vent hole design is exactly the reason that all current reproduction 15″ Giulietta SZ and Giulia TZ wheels (including Tecnomagnesio) do not look correct.
The wheel will be available in original 4.5″ width as well as wider 5″ and 5.5″ versions.
The wheel has been cast using the latest motorsport spec magnesium alloy, developed for Formula 3 racing and as a result are incredibly lightweight, they weigh 4.3, 4.5 & 4.7 KGs respectively! The wheels are finished in a protective black chromate coating, ready to be painted in the customer's choice of colour.
Visual front offset of 4.5 & 5″ Wheel
Visual front offset of 5.5″ Wheel
Rear of wheel with correct original Campagnolo style webbing between vent holes

Re: UPDATE: A Lesson Plan for Wood Turning by James Rodgers
I've been turning for a while, but I still feel intimidated by the machine. I hope this book will give me more assurance.
Re: Make a sled that handles both square and miter cuts
Great idea. Where can I find those metal miter bars?
Re: Shopmade Handles Make a Matched Set
I successfully made a couple of these. I was also worried about the tenon fitting properly into the socket. I was wondering how I would make them so the handle would not slip off. I asked a seasoned woodworking teacher and he told me that I had to heat the tenon before the assembly. Once the wood cools down, it expands and stays stuck forever. I use a propane torch to heat the tenon but I suppose a could have use a heat gun or a hair dryer.

This is Erik Sofge from Popular Mechanics here at CES. We're at Nokia's tent and we're looking at what we think is the coolest product they've come out with this year, it's the Nokia N series N800. They're calling it an Internet Tablet. So, you might have heard about ultramobile PCs. They haven't really worked out so far. They try to do too much and they don't do any of it very well. This one basically just does the internet, and it does it in a pretty innovative way. As opposed to having a cellular connection inside of this tablet, it works by either using its Wi-Fi card to tap into a Wi-Fi network, or it can access your Bluetooth phone and use that network, so we're gonna show you how this works because it's touchscreen features are actually pretty cool and then we're gonna show you one application that goes beyond just browsing the internet. So here you see, we're on Google's homepage and now this is live, online right now, and now, using the stylus, I can go in and say, enter different URL or if I would rather just use my fingers, then I can just-- Oh, let's see if that works. Yeah, there we go. So, just by tapping the screen, it recognizes that it was my finger, not the stylus, so you've got a larger QWERTY keyboard here to work with, and, in addition to surfing online, you can make internet calls, Skype calls basically with this. It has an integrated webcam so you're basically making a-- so you're basically making a sort of-- sort of a lower-end video phone call but it does work and, of course, like any internet call, that is free once you're-- all of your connections are properly set up. Now, one thing you can do with this is with optional software that's coming out soon, you can either go on to-- You can either sync up with Rhapsody, the music service that sort of finds music that you like based on the music you've already entered that you own, and there's also a service from Navicore which is a portable GPS navigation service. So, this is-- Navicore is an optional kit that you can get for the N800 Internet Tablet. As you can see, it's a touchscreen-based system, just like a lot of nav systems. The stylus does work very well. It's easy to zoom in and out and you can also do it with your finger, although your nail is really the best option if you don't have the stylus, but even if you are just using finger like if you're driving, then there are a lot of options that you can hit without the stylus. You can zoom in and out. You can use a slider to zoom more quickly. You can also enter points of interest and basically, this is gonna look very familiar, of course, to anyone that's used a GPS navigation system, but the fact is, it's essentially just software loaded on to your internet tablet. The N800 is available right now for $400. The navigation set is gonna be $239 but it won't be available 'til later in the year. The Rhapsody service also won't be available until later this year. And, now, again, you don't need to buy a plan when you buy this tablet. It's not like a phone. It's essentially, again, using your local Wi-Fi connection or it's using your Bluetooth phone to transfer data. However, if you don't have an all-you-can-eat data transfer plan on your phone, then that is gonna cost you. So, again, this is Erik Sofge for Popular Mechanics here at Nokia's tent at CES.

Paula Baker - 03/12/2007
Cute, cute dance ! My east intermediate class loves the music and the steps go great with the music. Thanks for putting in the easy option, Alan. I don't agree that the "catchy" steps are too similar to other dances .........My class thinks the steps are perfectly phrased with the music.

Jane Schofield - 14/10/2007
Was taught this on Thursday (after two weeks in the glorious sunny Med). It didnt get a second chance on the floor. Lots of the dancers commented that certain 'catchy' steps were too similar to other dances. Sorry.
Kumari Tugnait - 26/09/2007
Learnt this from the man himself at his recent workshop and think it's a great little dance. Always easier to learn a dance to music that is so well known and the steps fit perfectly. Another hit dance, Alan, well done x
Timberline Steve - 19/09/2007
Great lively music and simple fun dance! Nice to do as a break from longer dances!
Charlie Bingham - 13/09/2007
A fun dance to a classic track. Great dance to do as well as being a good workout. Well done Alan I like it.
Barbie - 05/09/2007
Really like this one Alan, some different steps and it's got that fun factor.

The really bad rain came last Sunday night. There had already been a couple of days of intermittent, unusually-heavy rain here in northwest Georgia, but Sunday night was different. It started shortly after the 5pm evening Mass let out and we just made it home before the sky opened. And once this rain began, you could just sense that there was something ominously different about it.
There were no gusts, and no lulls. Just an incessant torrential deluge with unrelenting thunder and lightning throughout the night. A strike early in the evening robbed us of phone and internet service and blew nearly every light bulb in the house — along with the TVs. Amazingly enough the power only flickered and then stayed. By that time it had become a strange dark, punctuated by lightning followed almost immediately by the retort of thunder every couple of seconds — hour after hour after hour.
My husband, Dan, and I slept only fitfully, listening to the kettle drums in the sky and the constant pounding of the rain on the roof, as flashes lit the room. The thoughtful man had placed a flashlight on my nightstand, I noticed as I slid under the covers, but it would not have been needed even if the power failed and I had to get up in the night so frequently were entire contents of the room illuminated.
By first light of Monday morning we were up, having barely slept, wanting to access the damage and get our bearings. None of our trees were down, but the ground was sodden. We had taken some water in our crawl space, but there didn't seem to be any damage to our home. We had low water pressure and it seemed to be diminishing, so we started filling containers as long as it lasted. We store water anyway as general emergency preparation for our family, but we hoped not to have to use our stored water. Attempting to determine whether the water problem was ours alone or part of the wider system, Dan checked the meter — it was not turning, so we did not have a leak. While outside, he checked the septic field line as well and came back in with the news that it was full and that we should put nothing down the drains — that meant no flushing, no showers, no washing machine or dish washer — until the levels receded.
While the radio announced that schools would be closed at least until Wednesday and began listing the bridge and road washouts, I used the cell phone to call the water and phone company. The mains were broken throughout the county and whenever our water returned we should boil it, I was advised. Although it was not yet 8 in the morning when I called about the phone, I was given a repair date at the end of the week. It was dawning on us that we were among the most fortunate residents of our county — entrances into some subdivisions and apartments were washed away, thousands of homes, apartment, and businesses were partially or totally submerged, and most tragically, reports of deaths were just beginning. For that matter, so was the flooding.
Throughout the day on Monday, although the rains had decreased to a drizzle, waters kept flowing into low-lying areas, covering roads and necessitating the closing of parts of the interstate. I washed my hair in the rain water that had filled the wheelbarrow in the backyard and set up a dish washing station outside using water boiled on the gas stove, another thing to be thankful for. One mom I knew was at home with 7 children, her husband stuck out of town. Although her water was flowing, she had an electric stove, no power, and no alternative way to boil water. "Turn off the intake valve to your hot water heater so bad water doesn't get in," I told her, "and open the valve to drain it — you have at least 30 gallons of potable water there."
Watching me wash the dishes outside, my granddaughter remarked, "I'm glad I'm getting to see this because now I know what to do in an emergency." Taking advantage of the object lessons all around, we made emergency and disaster preparedness the main theme of the week's homeschooling. On Thursday, we held a family debriefing: What did we do right; what could we improve; what did we learn about being prepared?
But grief was a secondary theme. We commiserated with small business owners we knew who suffered multiple 10s of thousands of dollars in damage and, in an area not known to be vulnerable to floods, were not covered for the loss. The reported deaths were a close-to-home reminder of our human vulnerability and fragility, although we did not know any of the victims personally; we did not have to travel far to see vehicles submerged in creeks. For me it recapitulated the sense of shock I felt at my daughter's death a few years ago. She was killed in a car accident on her way home from work and with the exception of a two-year-old swept from his father's grasp by swirling water, it seemed these stories all featured people who were on their way to or on their way home from work. Yes, there had been flash flood warnings for a couple of days, but when you have driven on a road or over a bridge through rainstorms for years or even decades as flash flood warnings came and went, you can hardly fathom that today, in the mere seconds it will take you to go over a bridge, water will cover it and sweep you right through the guardrail. After my daughter's death, my daughter-in-law had walked around for days, shaking her head and saying, "You just never know." It was how everyone here felt that awful wet week.
But what really hit Dan and me in the gut was the message that good friends of ours had lost their home to the flood. Catholic author Rod Bennett and his wife Dot had just this summer finished a years' long dream – a thirty-thousand dollar remodel on their forty-year old house. Now all was ruined; water had filled the bottom two floors of the house and come up to the window sills of the top floor. Though the property was covered by flood insurance, none of the contents were covered, not the new appliances and floors, not Rod's expansive library including numerous commentaries by the Church Fathers, not the recently acquired heirlooms that held Dot's precious memories of her father.
"There just has to be a heaven," I said to my husband, "or there could be no justice in the universe. Rod and Dot are wiped out, while you just know there is some creep with ill-gotten gains sitting high and dry right now."
"Well, you know what the Bible says," he answered wryly, "God makes it rain on the just and unjust."
We call it a blessing that we were spared — the blessing of the prudential foresight to buy a house on high ground, to make sure we have alternative means of cooking and heating our home, to store water and other necessities against the rainy day. But to say that is certainly not to say that those who lost so much experienced a curse. Rather we are blessed in order to share and help. Besides, the next time there is a disaster, it could be us.
Because… you never know.

When some great sorrow, like a mighty river,
Flows through your life with peace-destroying power, And dearest things are swept from sight forever, Say to your heart each trying hour: "This, too, shall pass away." When ceaseless toil has hushed your song of gladness,
When fortune smiles, and, full of mirth and pleasure,
When earnest labor brings you fame and glory,
THIS, TOO, SHALL PASS AWAY by Lanta Wilson Smith |
