Clinic Compare helps you find and compare clinics for cosmetic surgery in the UK. We can help you compare different clinics in your local area to find Chin Implant Prices and the best options for you.
Chin implants (medical term is chin augmentation) are popular with both men and women who have a receding chin or weak jaw line. Chin augmentation is often combined with other facial cosmetic surgery such as a face lift, brow lift, and cheek implants. The procedure is often recommended for people who undergo nose surgery, as a prominent nose can look even larger with a small chin. Chin implants help to give a more defined jaw line, a well proportioned face, and can improve the overall silhouette of the face. A receding chin is often a result of ageing, but can also be hereditary or from a deformity.
Chin implant prices vary between clinics and will depend on your individual requirements. You can expect to pay from £3000 to £4000 in the UK, and most clinics offer payment plans for those on a budget.
Before undergoing any cosmetic surgery you will be required to attend a personal consultation to discuss your suitability and individual needs. Most people who have chin implants spend either just a day in hospital or stay overnight, but this again depends on the person. Usually a general anesthetic is given and the procedure can take from 1-2 hours. An incision is made inside the mouth along the lower lip or sometimes outside of the mouth along the natural crease under the chin. A pocket is created to insert the silicone or non toxic implant in front of the jaw. The implant will look and feel like normal bone and will be carefully shaped and trimmed to fit the individual. Soluble stitches are used to complete the procedure.
Everyone recovers at a different rate, but you can expect to be back at work after one to two weeks after swelling and bruising has subsided. Scars will be minimal as incisions are made either inside the mouth or well hidden in the crease of the chin. You will need to wear a facial support or chin sling to aid recovery for about a week afterwards. A soft or liquid diet may be required for about a week and drinking through a straw will make things easier. You will also be advised to use a soft toothbrush and use a mouth wash. Exercise and sport can be resumed after six weeks and the full affects of your surgery will be apparent within 2 months.

Neurocore Finds AssureSign Electronic Signature Technology the Perfect Solution for Virtual Company Needs
Neurocore was co-founded in 2004 by Bradley J. Oostindie and Timothy G. Royer with a mission of assisting each individual in reading his or her God-given cognitive potential. The company utilizes neurofeedback and biofeedback equipment and develops individualized plans to assist clients in improving focus and attention span as well as reducing anxiety. Professional athletes, students and other clients in homes, corporations and educational settings benefit from maximizing their cognitive functioning through a variety of brain training exercises that Neurocore administers.
As a virtual company, the firm was seeking to go paperless and have one central repository for its agreements so that any member of a client team could access the documents. The company also wanted to improve its efficiency by expediting turnaround time on its contracts. With the Neurocore model in 26 states and seven countries, the company needed a way to bridge time and distance with its clients and prospects. They found the traditional method of relying on fax machines to get signed contracts was not working for them. Most of their prospective clients don't have fax machines in their homes, and the extensive travel schedules of Neurocore's corporate team made it difficult to receive and distribute contracts via traditional means.
Neurocore began using AssureSign in the spring of 2008. With the elimination of the fax machine from the signing process, clients are able to hand-sign contracts from their PC using just their mouse and an Internet connection, and the Neurocore staff is immediately sent copies of the signed contracts regardless of where they are.
AssureSign's Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution has reduced the time it takes to execute Neurocore's training agreements from one day to just ten minutes. Plus, AssureSign houses the company's executed agreements in one centralized repository that can be accessed by any employee with security permission. It's the perfect solution for Neurocore's business model, and client reaction has been very positive. They appreciate the speed with which the company is able to respond to their needs using AssureSign, and they find it convenient and easy to use. Moreover, it helps show others the highly professional nature of Neurocore.

Important Information
All sales on house plans and customization/modifications are final. No refunds or exchanges can be given once your order has started the fulfillment process.
All house plans from Houseplans are designed to conform to the local codes when and where the original house was constructed.
In addition to the house plans you order, you may also need a site plan that shows where the house is going to be located on the property. You might also need beams sized to accommodate roof loads specific to your region. Your home builder can usually help you with this. You may also need a septic design unless your lot is served by a sanitary sewer system. Many areas now have area-specific energy codes that also have to be followed. This normally involves filling out a simple form providing documentation that your house plans are in compliance.
To find out what documents you should expect with your house plans, see what's included?
In some regions, there is a second step you will need to take to insure your house plans are in compliance with local codes. Some areas of North America have very strict engineering requirements. Examples of this would be, but not limited to, earthquake-prone areas of California and the Pacific Coast, hurricane risk areas of the Florida, Gulf & Carolina Coasts. New York, New Jersey, Nevada, and parts of Illinois require review by a local professional as well. If you are building in these areas, it is most likely you will need to hire a state licensed structural engineer to analyze the design and provide additional drawings and calculations required by your building department. If you aren't sure, building departments typically have a handout they will give you listing all of the items they require to submit for and obtain a building permit.
Additionally, stock plans do not have a professional stamp attached. If your building department requires one, they will only accept a stamp from a professional licensed in the state where you plan to build. In this case, you will need to take your house plans to a local engineer or architect for review and stamping. In addition, plans which are used to construct homes in Nevada are required to be drawn by a licensed Nevada architect.

According to a study commissioned by Golf Digest in 2000, the odds of making a hole-in-one are 3,000 to 1 for a tour pro, 5,000 to 1 for a low-handicapper and 12,000 to 1 for an average player. The longer the hole, the longer the odds.
Jake Paine was 3 when he aced a 65-yard hole in Lake Forest, Calif., in 2001.
Elsie McLean was 102 when she aced the 100-yard fourth hole at Bidwell Park, in Chico, Calif., in 2007.
Mike Crean aced the 517-yard par-5 ninth hole at Green Valley Ranch Golf Club in Denver in 2002. The hole was straight-away, but the golfer gained some advantage by playing at high altitude.
The earliest recorded hole-in-one was in 1868 at the Open Championship when Tom Morris (Young Tom) did the 8th hole 145 yards Prestwick in one stroke. This was the first of four Open Championships won successively by Young Tom.
The first hole-in-one recorded with the 1.66 inch ball was in 1972 by John G Salvesen, a member of the R&A Championship Committee. At the time this size of ball was only experimental. Salvesen used a 7-iron for his historical feat at the 11th hole on the Old Course, St Andrews.
John Hudson, a 25-year-old professional, achieved a near miracle when he holed two consecutive holes-in-one at the 11th and 12th holes (195 yards and 311 yards respectively) in the 1971 Martini Tournament at Norwich, England.
In the 1973 Open Championship at Troon, two holes-in-one were recorded, both at the "Postage Stamp" hole, the 8th hole, in the first round. They were achieved by Gene Sarazen and amateur David Russell, who were by coincidence respectively the oldest and youngest competitors.
In less than two hours play in the second round of the 1989 US Open at Oak Hill Country Club, Rochester, New York, four competitors - Doug Weaver, Mark Wiebe, Jerry Pate and Nick Price - each holed the 167 yards 6th hole in one. The odds against four professionals achieving such a record in a field of 156 are reckoned at 332,000 to 1.
Norman Manley, an amateur from California, claims to have 59 career aces, while club pro Mancil Davis recorded his 51st in 2007.

I'm looking for suggestions for a nice looking evergreen to plant as an accent in my front yard. The space is pretty small, so I'd prefer something with a mature width of no more than around 4 feet. The space is on the south side of the house, so it gets lots of sun.
I really like the skyrocket juniper. Is there anything similar, but maybe twice as wide? A neighbor down the street has a ( I always have trouble remember the name) wichita something, but it looks like it's going to grow into a fairly wide within the next few years. I'm open to green or blue color. I'd just like to plant something a little less common than the usual emerald green arborvitae. Suggestions please! |

Some of the chamaecyprus are really neat. You can find a little bit of anything within this plant family. If you google 'dwarf evergreens' you should be able to locate vendors. Monrovia has a wide variety of chamaecyprus on their website (link below). Good luck! |

For zone 5, you could look into some narrow cultivars of boxwood, ilex glabra (ilex crenata has a few narrow types, but it's only z6 hardy) or ilex opaca, which can be clipped into upright shapes -- you could even go for an evergreen azalea, a pieris japonica, which is a great 4-season shrub, or go with one of the fine chamaecyparis cultivars, like philosopher said.

I live in Zone 5 and would love to plant Italian Cypress, but they are not hearty here in NY. This is the closest to the narrow habit I'm searching for, that I've managed to find. I think it's quite lovely, so neat and compact, but it only grows to 3feet in height. It may be perfect for you. |

I don't think anyone has suggested 'Green Arrow' Yellow Cedar yet, it is a wonderful narrow tree. I actually grows narrow enough for you to plant three in the space you might plant one of the other more common narrow conifers, which is good because it looks much better in a group. I planted three of them in a triangle 1 meter apart form each other. Chamaecyparis nootkatensis 'Green Arrow' Good Luck, |

Those narrow arborvitea? |
We have a fastigiate Bosnian pine that is supposed to get around 4-5' wide and 10-12' tall. Search for it under Pinus leucodermis 'Iseli Fastigiate'. It's narrow and fluffy, and it fills the space near the corner of our foundation nicely. We also have a fernspray false cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Filicoides'). We have it surrounded by japanese blood grass (Imperata cylindrica 'Red Baron'), and the combination is striking. When it reaches full size (8-10' high, 4' wide), it'll be a real focal point in our yard. |

Which, I have a question about my blue columnar junipers. One went splayed this summer, I have no idea why. Since its time to tie them up against the coming snow (sigh), does anyone know if the splaying is permanent, or will tying it for a year or two correct it? |
There are varieties of upright euonymus that make great accent shrubs. Euonymus japonicus 'Silver Knight' is one. They are reputed to reach 6' tall and 3' wide. I planted two of the same species but another variety, and they are dense and have dark shiny green leaves. So far they are 3' tall and 2' wide, but the tag says they too can reach 6' tall and 3' wide. |

Extremely narrow, columnar evergreen shrub with bluish-green foliage. Mostly acicular needles. Grows 15 feet tall and only 2 feet wide at base. Requires little pruning to maintain its form. Attractive accent, hedge or windbreak. Grows well in dry locations. Excellent cold tolerance. Does well in the Midwest. Roots readily from cuttings. How to Grow this Plant: Characteristics Requirements Plant Care Fertilizing Established plants can benefit from fertilization. Take a visual inventory of your landscape. Trees need to be fertilized every few years. Shrubs and other plants in the landscape can be fertilized yearly. A soil test can determine existing nutrient levels in the soil. If one or more nutrients is low, a specific instead of an all-purpose fertilizer may be required. Fertilizers that are high in N, nitrogen, will promote green leafy growth. Excess nitrogen in the soil can cause excessive vegetative growth on plants at the expense of flower bud development. It is best to avoid fertilizing late in the growing season. Applications made at that time can force lush, vegetative growth that will not have a chance to harden off before the onset of cold weather. Light Full Sun is defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direct sun per day. Watering Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes. Planting Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and deep enough to plant at the same level the shrub was in the container. If soil is poor, dig hole even wider and fill with a mixture half original soil and half compost or soil amendment. If the plant is balled-and-burlapped, remove fasteners and fold back the top of natural burlap, tucking it down into hole, after you've positioned shrub. Make sure that all burlap is buried so that it won't wick water away from rootball during hot, dry periods. If synthetic burlap, remove if possible. If not possible, cut away or make slits to allow for roots to develop into the new soil. For larger shrubs, build a water well. Finish by mulching and watering well. If shrub is bare-root, look for a discoloration somewhere near the base; this mark is likely where the soil line was. If soil is too sandy or too clayey, add organic matter. This will help with both drainage and water holding capacity. Fill soil, firming just enough to support shrub. Finish by mulching and watering well. Caterpillars are the immature form of moths and butterflies. They are voracious feeders attacking a wide variety of plants. They can be highly destructive and are characterized as leaf feeders, stem borers, leaf rollers, cutworms and tent-formers. Pest : Leaf Miners Leaf Miner is actually a term that applies to various larvae (of moths, beetles, and flies) that tunnel between upper and lower leaf surfaces, leaving a distinctive, squiggly pattern. A female adult can lay several hundred eggs inside the leaf which hatch and give rise to miners. Leaf miners attack ornamentals and vegetables. Prevention and Control: Keep weeds down and scout individual plants for tell-tale squiggles. Pick and destroy these leaves and take advantage of natural enemies such as parasitic wasps. Know the Growing Degree Days (GDD)* for your area to target insecticide sprays when most beneficial for controlling the specific leafminer. |

I realize this thread is old. I am desperate for advice. I bought a nice blue arrow juniper on the suggestion of the garden center. I planted it about two feet from my house on the south facing side. They assured me this would be okay. I am worried about the roots harming the foundation. Do you think I should move it? |

Linda 6, you'll be OK unless your foundation is incredibly weak. This is not a massive plant and the root system will not be very invasive. I am in the business of designing and planting in eastern MA and almost never design or advise planting 2' from a house but Blue Arrow Juniper is ideal for tight, close to anything locations. Good luck. |

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 Izzy!
Facts about Izzy
- Breed: Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier Mix
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Izzy's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
NOTE: To see additional pictures or to apply to adopt Izzy, please visit the Foster Pets page of our website: WWW.BaytownHumaneSociety.org
Izzy was rescued from the streets after a very close call with death-by-squishing! Her age was determined to be approximately a year-and-a-half, and she weighs in at only ten pounds! She is a little shy at first, but soon will decide you are someone she would like to know better. She does great with the other dogs in the foster home, and holds her own even with those twice her weight. Izzy has been fully vaccinated, spayed, and is receiving regular monthly heartworm prevention to keep her little heart healthy. If you think you are the right home for Izzy and that she will make you happy forever, please apply to adopt this little beauty today! NOTE: To see additional pictures or to apply to adopt Izzy, please visit the Foster Pets page of our website: WWW.BaytownHumaneSociety.org
Other Pets at Baytown Humane Society
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Izzy, a Baytown Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier for sale in Baytown, or seeking a Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier dog from a breeder in Baytown.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Baytown 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 Baytown 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 Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier breeders who help with Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Baytown paves the way for another one to be saved.

What Bears fans are saying about the loss to the Lions
CREATED Sep 30, 2013
Usually my first blog of the week during football season has to do with what fans of "x" team are saying after a game against the Packers. With the Packers on bye in week 4, I had no choice but to slightly alter my post. I shifted focus to what Bears fans are saying after their loss to the Lions. Below are a series of comments from the Chicago Tribune following the Bears 40-32 loss. As always, comments are unedited.
- Jay Cutler is and will alwys be the Tony Romo of Chicago...Just good enough to stay,but never good enough to be the best.
- Embarrassing. Cutler is his own worst enemy. He can no longer blame his O-line for his ineptitude.
- They win as a team, they lose as a team. It's not all on one guy.
- Cutler was absolutely awful, and almost single-handedly lost this game for the Bears. I say almost single-handedly b/c the Bears defense is bad, very bad.
- No phase played well today. It was a team loss just like the players all said after the game.
- I dont think its a bad team.... i think cutler lacks leadership.... watching him, he always sits alone on the sideline, and to be honest after a couple of those picks he looked like he was gonna cry.
- This is all JaMarcus Webbs fault. And Mike Tice and Lovie Smith. They are making terrible decisions and forcing Cutler into throwing interceptions. FIRE LOVIE SMITH AND MIKE TICE!!
- Settle down morons... it's just one game!
- I don't think I can remember the defense being this bad, I mean this defense is really weak, we can't stop anybody, our D-Line is one of the weakest links on this team.
- Sorry, but the bubble burst today. No Super Bowl obviously this year. Need better pass rush, better defensive line and a better quarterback.
- How come ya never see a game like Cutler played out of Aaron Rogers ??????
- You didn't expect the Bears to go 16-0 did you?
- Tough loss to watch. But when you live by the turnovers, you die by the turnovers. Bears need more consistency on both sides of the ball.
- No Pass rush for the 4th game in a row.
- Hey fairweathers go find a new team.

Set-up for non-PostScript dot-matrix printer?
I've gotten into some of the documentation and I can see there is a lot of information available, but it's multi-layered and, well, I'd like not to spend a career getting it going.
It looks like by default, X wants to output in PostScript format while this printer can (apparently) only take ascii. I think maybe I just need to write a filter and a groff command line, but....
Any guidance is appreciated./IMHO

Have you heard of "haul vloggers"? In a similar style of homemade YouTube makeup tutorials, haul vloggers are generally women who make videos of things they've bought on a shopping trip. While not necessarily a new YouTube phenomenon, the trend was recently covered by New York mag's The Cut, which presented the subject through the example of one particular user, ChanelBlueSatin, saying that haul vloggers "seem to be primarily of one species: the girl who flatirons her hair, wears too-thick eye shimmer up to her eyebrows, drowns in eyeliner, and gets her brows waxed regularly." ChanelBlueSatin was none too happy when she got wind of this, and retaliated with a very detailed video response. She complains, "The editor made no attempt to get to know me and what I do on YouTube. There was no e-mail, no interview … Everything in that article was based on assumptions and outward appearance. The editor slash all the people who commented in the article know nothing about me." Keep reading »

Iowa Fighter Zach Kirk Suffers Broken Neck, Paralyzed During Fight {MMA Fighting}
May 28th 2009 4:48PM You should see how far the sport has come in recent years. MMA used to be very crude, people like Dana White have tried very hard to regulate this sport into a safe one. There are much more dangerous fighting sports out there like Muay Thai that are hardly regulated at all. Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts saved the sport from being doomed. Do some reading on the sport. And as a fighter yourself you should know that every time you step into a fight the risk of serious injury or death is there. More people have died in boxing than have been seriously injured by this sport.
Georges St. Pierre Defeated B.J. Penn in UFC 94 -- With Help From Vaseline? {MMA Fighting}
Feb 2nd 2009 4:23PM Vaseline on GSP's shoulder had nothing to do with BJ Penn losing that fight. Yeah it would have been a disadvantage, and illegal if he had done it intentionally, but he didn't.
BJ Penn moved up a weight class where he's not used to fighting, took a vacation during his training, and because of it he had no endurence.
After the first round he was tired, and anyone could clearly see that. The second round he could barely breathe, the third round he was exhausted and after the fourth he refused to leave his corner.
He had his ass handed to him every round and it's because GSP trained harder, and is fighting in the right weight class. If this is BJ Penn's idea of taking away the win from GSP, it's a terrible way to do it because it doesn't change the fact that GSP controlled that fight from start to finish.
MMA Fighter Justin Eilers Shot and Killed {MMA Fighting}
Dec 27th 2008 6:42PM you guys are a bunch of tool bags. I'm fairly sure his intent wasn't to kill the man. In case you forgot, there was a PROFESSIONAL FIGHTER in a RAGE in this man's home. If that guy would have decided to after someone, no one could have stopped him.
I don't think he deserved to die, no one deserves that; but under the circumstances, what else could the home owner do? The man was asked to leave, he didn't, he raged, and was shot because no one in the area could handle him. Yeah you can call the cops but in the 5 minutes it would have taken to get the police there, the man could have easily killed someone with his bare hands.

Leaf Miners and Amazing Symbiosis
Posted by jlwile on April 29, 2010
I ran across a short article on Creation Ministries International's website that really intrigued me. It was about "green islands" on decaying leaves, which are patches of green on a leaf that is otherwise dead. I have seen these "green islands" many times, and I just assumed they were the result of areas in the leaf where the majority of chlorophyll just hadn't completely decayed away. Perhaps that region was chlorophyll-rich and thus would take longer to lose its chlorophyll than the rest of the leaf. However, when the green spot is strongly localized, it is probably the result of the larval version of a leaf miner insect.This really intrigued me, so I spent some time looking into leaf-mining insects, and what I found was truly incredible. First, there are a lot of leaf miners. Some are moths, some are flies, some are beetles, and even some are wasps. The adult lays her eggs in within the tissue of a leaf, and when the eggs hatch, the larvae begin eating the insides of the leaf. This, of course, protects the larvae, because they are not exposed to predators. They stay inside the leaf until they are ready to pupate (start metamorphosis into their adult form).
Now, of course, if a larva is "unlucky" enough to hatch shortly before or after the leaf falls from the tree, this could be a problem. After all, the larva is eating the living tissue inside the leaf and therefore needs the leaf to stay alive while it is feeding. What happens if the leaf dies before the larva is ready to pupate? Well, that's where the "green islands" come in. It seems that the larva can keep the portion of the leaf it is eating alive so that it can continue to eat and develop, and that's why the area around the larva stays green!
So how does the larva do this? How does it keep its part of the leaf alive, even when the rest of the leaf is dead? Well, for a long time, this was quite a mystery. However, in 2007 David Giron and his colleagues published a study in which they analyzed dead leaves with leaf miner infestations. They looked at the tissues near the leaf miner larvae (which were still green) and compared them to dead tissues in the same leaf, living tissues in an uninfected leaf, and dead tissues in an uninfected leaf. They found that certain plant hormones (called cytokinins) were in abundance in the areas around the leaf miner larvae. In some cases, there were more cytokinins in the area around the leaf miner larvae that there were in the living tissue from an uninfected plant!
So the conclusion was clear. The leaf miner larvae were doing something to increase the amount of cytokinins in their area of the leaf, which was keeping that area alive. But what exactly were they doing? The authors weren't sure. As they say:
First, high levels of cytokinins in mined areas could result from the overexpression of the plant genes which produce cytokinins in the infected zone. Oral secretions of feeding insects contain many specific compounds able to interact with plant gene expression…Second, cytokinins in mined tissues could result from an accumulation process rather than a synthesis per se. Feeding activity of leafminers is known to alter biophysical properties of leaves and consequently respiration and transpiration rates…Such processes strongly impact the flow of nutrients within a leaf and could potentially result in the accumulation of cytokinins in mined areas. Third, insects themselves could potentially synthesize cytokinins.
Well, it turns out that one of the co-authors (Wilfried Kaiser) on that study recently did another study that helps to narrow down the possibilities. He found that leaf miner larvae are infected with bacteria from the genus Wolbachia. It turns out that lots of insects are infected by these bacteria, so that wasn't surprising.
The surprising thing happened when Kaiser cured the leaf miner larvae of their infection by administering an antibiotic. The leaf miner insects remained healthy, but they could no longer produce green islands. Thus the bacteria make the "green islands." What's still not completely clear is whether the bacteria make the cytokinins responsible for the "green islands" or they do something to help the leaf miner make them. We know that bacteria (the simplest living things on the planet) are significantly better chemical producers than the most high-tech chemistry lab we have, so my bet is that the bacteria are making the cytokinins.
Regardless of exactly how the bacteria help the leaf miner insects, this is yet another stunning example of mutualistic symbiosis. Quite some time ago I blogged about mutualism in nature. While simple forms of mutualism are easy to explain in an evolutionary framework, the complex ones are extremely hard to understand in an evolutionary framework. They are all over creation, however, so any theory that tries to explain origins must account for them at some point.
I personally think that mutualism shows us that lots of creatures were made for each other, and they are just one more facet of the amazing design that we see all around us.

"Extremely hard to understand" doesn't mean it is untrue. Your writing is riddled with these types of slight-of-hand twisted meanings. For instance, quantum mechanics is super-duper extremely hard to understand, but it produces the the most precise predictions of any scientific theory ever tested.
And there are virtually limitless examples of complex mutualisms in nature. It took me a couple minutes to find this one also involving chloroplast.
Well of course they were "made for each other"! The question is by who or what? What DATA is there that supports the divine intervention of G-d as the maker?
You call this evidence? My favorite parts:
"There is an immeasurably and unimaginably huge universe out there (even though the most important part of it appears to be here)."
"Scientists at ICR hold to the presupposition that the "uncaused First Cause" is the Creator who exists outside of the physical creation He made."
"Yet even more amazing (and the universe is amazing) is the historic fact that the Creator-God, after purposefully creating the time-space-matter universe, chose to enter it in the God-human person of Jesus Christ—for the sole purpose of providing a means by which humanity could have a personal relationship with the Creator."
The sole purpose was providing a personal relationship with God-human? That's not even accurate Christian theology. If the ICR can't even get theology (made-up stuff) right, how could they get science (how the world actually works) right?
Or this?
"So – what is the origin of music?
It came from God. It was given to man at the moment of creation when 'the morning stars sang together' (Job 38:7). The Bible alone provides an acceptable explanation for the origin of music and musical instruments. We read in Scripture that God surrounds Himself with angelic choirs and the songs of the redeemed sinners (Rev. 14:2-3). A heavenly choir of angels sang at the birth of Christ. We are told to 'sing to the Lord' as Ills saints, to 'praise His holy name' (Psalm 30:4). Again, we are exhorted to 'sing joyfully to the Lord' and to 'praise the Lord with the harp', 'make music to Him on the ten-stringed lyre', 'play skilfully and shout for joy' (Psalm 33). The purpose of music was, and is, to praise God.
Music provides joy because music has been provided by God."
I see the citations, but I can't find any mention of the scientific journals Job (and why would the subject of Jobs deal with where music came from?), Rev. (Maybe it's entirely written by Reverends?) or Psalm (And I know for a fact that Roxy Music didn't use harps or lyres on their song Psalm).
Signature in the Cell is a joke. Ha (Christian) ha ha (Christian). Although this one (Christian) contains something that isn't funny at all:
"I could go on about human features that betray a design that certainly is not intelligent. I will add only one more consideration. More that twenty percent of all human pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion during the first two months of pregnancy. That is because the human genome, the human reproductive system, is so poorly designed. Do I want to attribute this egregiously defective design to God, to the omnipotent and benevolent God of the Christian faith? No, I don't. It would not do to say that God designed intelligently the human genome and that it then decayed owing to natural processes. If God would have designed the human genome, surely He would have done it so that this enormous misfortune would not happen. Think of it: twenty percent of all human pregnancies amount to twenty million abortions every year. I shudder at the thought of this calamity being attributed to God's specific design of the human genome. To me, this attribution would amount to blasphemy."
Drat. Last quote link.
"Without the sacrifice of Christ, there would be no ultimate forgiveness of sin, so there would be no way for people to have a personal relationship with God."
Well, ICR said a personal relationship was "the sole purpose" of Christ and didn't mention any intermediary steps. But what do you say about Moses? Surely he had a personal relationship with God before Jesus was even born.
Oh, The Fall, right, that's a scientific argument (not!): A snake told a woman to eat an apple, she did and because of that, 20% of all pregnancies are naturally aborted.
Your last link is priceless. I really enjoyed the first blue box:
The Gospel in Genesis 3:15?
"And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel." —Genesis 3:15 [WTF?]
Genesis 3:15 is known by the term Protevangelium, or "first gospel"—a prophetic picture of the time when Satan would be defeated by the woman's triumphant "Seed."
The text itself invites us to find an interpretation [that we make up] that goes beyond mere biology. Satan, a spirit being, cannot produce seed; and clearly a woman does not produce seed. So, even at the simplest reading of this pronouncement, [no, the simplest reading is that it is crazy talk] the seed apparently refers to a spiritual being who has the serpent's same attitude [what kind of attitude is that, bitchy?]
Based on other scripture, it appears that the serpent's "seed" refers to those who willfully set themselves against the seed of the woman [didn't this just say woman clearly doesn't produce seed?] (John 8:44; Ephesians 2:2–3). The age-long conflict between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Satan (Matthew 13:37–40:1; John 3:8–12) will continue until the end (Revelation 12:17). "He" that crushes the serpent's head refers to a future descendent [sic] of the woman and is a singular noun—which many Bible scholars believe is a reference to Jesus Christ
There are many Bible scholars that believe that the earth is 6,000 years old too. Whoops, I can't use that here.
What is the scientific evidence that a snake told a woman to eat an apple, and when she did, a supernatural being got really pissed and condemned mankind to earthly suffering?
What is the date of this historical event and what is the scientific evidence to support that date?

Shoplifters steal body wash, arrested in chance traffic stop In a chance traffic stop, two men are arrested for robbery after nine bottles of body wash disappear from store shelves. New Castle County Police say the received a call around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night reporting a shoplifter stole body wash from a business on Landers Lane in New Castle. A nearby officer pulled over a car, unrelated to the robbery, intersection of New Castle Avenue and Castle Hills Drive. Police say the man in the passenger seat matched a suspect description of the convenience store robbery, and nine bottles of body wash were in plain sight. The passenger, 39-year-old Benjamin Mobley, of the unit block of Thorn Lane in New Castle, has been charged with robbery in the second degree and conspiracy in the second degree. The driver, who investigators say was Mobley's accomplice in the robbery, 54-year-old Alvin Welborn, of the unit block of Katrin Circle in New Castle, is also charged. Officers say three morphine pills were discovered on Welborn. Both were arraigned and committed to the Howard R. Young Correctional Institute. |

Montanans like to say they live in "the last best place." Sounds sort of self-satisfied, to be sure. But what we are mostly talking about is our great fortune to experience life in a wilderness paradise ridged with reefs of big mountains--from the Absaroka and Beartooth ranges crowning Yellowstone, north through the Mission and Swan ranges, on to the snowy cliffs mirrored in the tiny cirque lakes of Glacier National Park--and cut through by blue-ribbon trout-fishing rivers like the Flathead, the Bitterroot and Norman Maclean's Blackfoot. Each of these rivers flows into the Clark Fork of the Columbia, which flows through my hometown of Missoula on its way to the Pacific--a lot of flowing, someone might say, but that's the idea.
Time spent in such wilderness will not be deducted from the sum of your life. That's my idea of a proper vacation: to listen to the water rushing over the stones, the staccato hammering of woodpeckers, the lachrymal call of the loon. Better still, to experience all this near a fine golf course, of the sort abundantly found here. This is time that will not be deducted.
Let's imagine a tour. What would you do, if you came?
Start in the valley of the Yellowstone River, north of Gardner. I'm always happy staying at Chico Hot Springs. It's a secluded spot with natural hot pools adjacent to a creaking old beloved Montana hotel with a very good restaurant (where, in his cups, the actor Warren Oates once sent flaming orders of crêpes suzette to the children at our table. But that was long ago, in another dream).
Or you could go on downriver through Paradise Valley to Livingston, where you might stay in the Sam Peckinpah Suite in the Murray Hotel, where the film director lived toward the end of his life. If so, for supper go to Chatham's Livingston Bar & Grill, a chic movie star-cowhand establishment owned and micromanaged by the painter Russell Chatham, who jumps through hoops to ensure that the food is perfect. The last time I was there, I had a salad with chanterelles flown from France because those harvested in the local forests were in short supply. There are also affordable and way-better-than-good Italian and Spanish wines on the list there. After dinner it's often interesting in the Owl Lounge, where literary types of national reputation are known to congregate.
The next morning, head over the hill to Bozeman, a college town gone upscale behind a terrific ski area, to begin a week devoted to golf with a round at Bridger Creek Golf Course, a pleasant though somewhat raw track with a nice variety of tricky holes, particularly on the back nine. Bozeman shopping is first-rate western chic--there are some fine restaurants, a great bakery and a good bookstore--but that night I'd be staying out a dozen or so miles west at the elegant Gallatin Gateway Inn, a country hotel with Palladian windows, echoing reaches of gleaming, sunlit hardwood floors, a fine restaurant and a plenteous stock of eighteen-year-old scotch. Across the highway, there's a cowboy tavern called the Old Faithful Bar, where you could dive deeper into Montana ambience than you might wish.

(KUSA) A Colorado man is recovering from what state wildlife workers say was a very rare coyote attack.
Andrew Dickhage was walking to a bus stop early Monday morning in Niwot when he was attacked.
"I heard like a small ruffle in the brush," Dickhage said.
He shrugged off the sound, but the usual path would unveil the unexpected.
Coyotes, a family of them, were on Dickehage in an instant. He had a flash light, but before he knew it, "I looked down and it had a hold of my hand, and it wouldn't let go," he said.
In a haze, the 22-year-old battled the wild animals. One after another they lunged.
"As soon as they were on the ground, they were up on their feet and ready to go at me again," Dickehage said. "They were going for my face. That's all they were doing."
Jennifer Churchill, with the state parks and wildlife, says the behavior is alarming. Coyotes normally don't approach adults. The attack shows an unsettling comfort level.
"This is very rare. This is a very rare event," Churchill said.
"When we have adult animals teaching that type of aggressive behavior, that's a really dangerous thing," she said.
When the encounter finally stopped Dickhage found himself 70 yards down the road from where it started.
"It felt like it wasn't going to end. I started thinking about my son," Dickhage said. "I thought to myself, 'I don't want to lose my son, and I don't want him to lose me.'"
Dickehage was given nine shots, some for rabies, as a precaution. The majority of his injuries were cuts and scrapes.
Officials believe they captured two of the coyotes involved in the attack. They were both put down. Tests are being done on those animals.

Engineering Washer Drives Three-Phase A.C. Motor Drive and Controller for Clothes Washers
by Andrea Bianchi and Mr. Luciano Buti, MagneTek S.p.A.
Because a complete washing cycle for domestic clothes washers consists of two phases - tumble-wash and spin-dry - it calls for very different motor characteristics.
This paper describes a clothes washer controller with integrated DSP-based, three-phase a.c. motor drive. The results and estimates included herein are based on a front-loading 230-V a.c. clothes washer, but they are equally indicative for top- and front-loading 115-V a.c. clothes washers.
The paper will describe how, when compared with single-phase 50/60-Hz a.c. induction motors or universal (brush-type) motors, using this controller to drive a three-phase a.c. motor results in improved washer efficiency, less water consumption, less acoustic noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI), and enhanced reliability.
Typical Washing Cycles
A typical front-loading clothes washerÕs duty cycle is shown in Figure 1. Generally, there are two sequential phases: tumble-wash and spin-dry.
During the spin-dry phase, the washer drum turns at high speed, typically 400 to 600 rpm, for brief intervals. Between these high-speed intervals, the drum turns at low speed for longer intervals. In the example shown in Figure 1, the drum turns for 1 min at 400 rpm, then turns at low speed for 4 to 5 min. Then there is the second 400-rpm spin (2-min long) followed by another low-speed spin for 4 to 5 minutes. Finally, there is a high-speed spin 3 to 4 min long.
When a variable speed motor is used, the whole washing cycle can become more sophisticated, enabling better washing performance and improving energy efficiency. An example of such a washing cycle is shown in Figure 3. The tumble-wash phase in Figure 3 can have different speeds (two or more), and the drum can turn at slower speeds than the typical 40 rpm. The spin-dry phase has three different speeds, and all of them are higher than the spin-dry phase of two-speed washers.
As noted above, there are two approaches widely used by washing machine manufacturers to provide the performance requested by consumers. The first and older method uses a two-speed a.c. motor driven by an electro-mechanical commutator on a relay board. The second approach uses an a.c. universal motor (brush-type) electronically controlled with a triac.
Two-Speed Motor
In the European washing machine market, only 10 to 20 percent still use two-speed, single-phase a.c. motors. These motors are cheaper than universal motors, so they are sold primarily to the low-price market segment. However, the market in general now demands improved washer performance. Typically, the motor is a single-phase permanent split capacitor (PSC) type that can run in both directions in low-speed operation, which can be easily controlled by electro-mechanical commutators or relays. During the tumble-wash phase, when the drum reverses direction (CW, OFF, CCW, OFF, and so on), the motor accelerates to running without any ramp-up. This means that, even if you are using a high-efficiency PSC motor, the total tumble-wash phase efficiency cannot be high.
Spin-dry speed also is reached without any ramp-up. This results in high power consumption during acceleration and, since there is no load-balancing, spinning consumes a great deal of energy due to unbalanced loads, and maximum spin speed cannot be attained.
Universal Motor
In the European market, 80 to 90 percent of all washing machines use universal motors with controlled circuit boards containing triacs. These boards are microprocessor-based and usually control the whole washing cycle. The electro-mechanical commutator is gradually disappearing from the market. Universal motor speed can be controlled easily with a triac using feedback from a speed sensor, so the motor turns the drum at variable speeds, enabling improved tumble-wash performance. And higher spin speeds are possible due to load-balancing ramp-up capability.
Universal motors are more complicated and expensive than two-speed a.c. motors, but their variable-speed capability has made them successful in the European market. The biggest drawbacks of universal motors are their limited speed range, low top-speed, acoustic noise, and the brush wear. In order to improve motor performance, d.c. ÒchopperÓ motor drives are sometimes used as well.
Three-Phase A.C. Motors
Some washing machines also use three-phase a.c. motors, but these motors are used only in very expensive models, and due to their high cost, their market share is low. Three-phase motors themselves are more simple and less expensive than two-speed, single-phase a.c. motors, or universal motors. The motor drive is more complicated, sophisticated, and expensive with respect to the others. This technology allows for good performance in terms of motor efficiency, maximum speed, and acoustic noise.
With respect to a three-phase motor washing machine, the motor efficiency during the washing phase could be further improved by using DSP-based, field-oriented control algorithms.
Washing Controllers
Most washing machines available on the European market have electronic controllers inside. They work like electro-mechanical commutators, controlling the water-heating resistor relay, the water pump relay, and several valve triacs, while on-board microprocessors improve washing performance based on sensor feedback.
The proposed washing machine controller accomplishes that and more. A dedicated microprocessor controls all washer functions, user interface displays, and actuators. A motor drive DSP carries out real-time calculations in order to maximize motor efficiency. Since the microprocessor controls the entire washing cycle, it works as a master in the serial link, and the DSP runs the motor according to the microprocessorÕs requirements.
Figure 4 is a block diagram of the integrated board control logic. The hardware arrangement is shown in Figure 5.
EMI Filters
Looking at Figure 5, there are two EMI issues to addressÑhigh-frequency electromagnetic conducted noise and low-frequency input current harmonics. In compliance with European standards, a small EMI filter is used on the washerÕs a.c. input bus, and a choke is used to remove input current harmonics. The input choke also is useful in reducing ripple current in the inverter bulk capacitor.
Three-Phase Inverter
As shown in Figure 6, the inverter d.c. bus is obtained by rectifying a.c. input power with a diode bridge and an electrolytic bulk capacitor. The three motor output voltages are generated using six electronic switches (IGBT).
In order to apply field-oriented control (FOC), the motor currents must be known. Three shunts are used because this method yields the best performance in the fast spin-dry phase. The six electronic switches are controlled by means of space vector pulse-width modulation (SVPWM).
Inverter efficiency in excess of 95 percent is attained in the spin-dry phase because the motor is applying high power to the load. Efficiency declines at low drum speeds because the motor is applying less voltage and more current to the load, and inverter losses are determined by motor current.
The motor drive power supply also powers the microprocessor, DSP, insulated sensors, and user interfaces, so it must be a multi-output switch mode power supply (SMPS) providing three different sets of outputs for the following components:
Triacs and Relays Section
The microprocessor uses the relays and triacs to control the water pump, valves, and heating resistors. The relays switch the larger loads (heating resistors, pump), and the triacs control the valves, fans, and other smaller loads.
In the European market, washer performance parameters must be stated on the appliance label based on a standard 60¡C washing cycle. Test results are indicated with letters from A to G (A = best). The main parameters are energy consumption, washing performance, and spinning efficiency. In addition, the appliance producer must indicate the acoustic noise level in decibels. The energy consumption parameter is a measurement of kWh during the standard 60-degree tumble-wash phase related to water heating and motor operation. The energy required for drying the clothes is not included in this measurement.
Washing performance is the more important parameter. By improving washing characteristics, it is possible to save both water and energy. In order to optimize washing performance, it is also important for the motor to operate efficiently below 40-rpm drum speed (15 to 25 rpm).
Spinning efficiency is the measurement of the water content still in the clothes after the spin-dry phase. The faster the drum speed, the less water is left in the clothes. The better the spin-dry phase, the more energy is saved in the dryer.
Since so much energy is consumed by the heating resistors, using a more efficient motor by itself does not solve the overall efficiency problem. However, by using an efficient motor and controlling its operation correctly, we are able to attain excellent washing performance at low water temperatures. In order to do this, the motor must be able to work efficiently across a broad range of speeds. The maximum-minimum speed ratio may be greater than 100:1.
Performance Comparison
Table 1 shows a cost/performance matrix comparison between different motors. There are two rows regarding the three-phase motor because of two different control methods. As previously mentioned, the field-oriented control method improves the energy efficiency of the motor because the inverter feed always has the optimum voltage. Since the minimum speed is reduced, the washing performance is improved as well. Moreover, thanks to the tight torque control, efficient ramp is possible and, therefore, the highest drum speed can be achieved.
This paper has described a cost-effective integrated washing machine controller. By correctly driving a three-phase a.c. motor, it is possible to improve washing performance and reduce water and energy consumption. Acoustic noise is reduced as well.
Maximum efficiency gain is reached when the washer drum turns slowly during the tumble-wash phase, meaning that the motor controller algorithm enables the motor to run efficiently even well below the nominal speed.
As noted, although the spin-dry phase has no great impact on the total energy consumption, very high drum speed during spin-dry is mandatory in order to minimize the dryer power consumption. It is important to control in-rush current during drum acceleration as well.

So like so many in North Texas, I have a Bermuda grass lawn.
There is a large area I am thinking of planting with Asian Jasmine. Prior to doing so I would usea sod cutter to remove the grass, spray enough Round Up to drive Monsanto's stock $0.10 higher even though they are evil bastards, lay a double layer of landscaping fabric and do any number of rituals to try ot keep the remaining grass roots from doing much damage fast. The question is, once the Asian Jasmine takes root and really begins to do its thing in spreading, will it crowd out the Bermuda grass that survived the vegecide and eventually grows and pierces through the weed barrier of landscape fabric? Or will Bermuda just do what it does and eventually take over the Asian Jasmine? |

Bermuda will grow up through Asian Jasmine eventually unless it's really thick. You could use roofing paper instead of landscape fabric and that would be stronger. If you can wait a while after you turn up the Bermuda and spray it, you can see if it comes back and attack what's left a second time. |
I spray my Asian Jasmine with RoundUp and it shows no ill effects. As long as you don't have new and tender leaves, the RoundUp doesn't do much to Asian Jasmine. I'd let the Asian Jasmine get well established and then spot spray any Bermuda that sprouts. |

…winning the hearts and minds
Getting information management embedded in an organisation's culture can be pretty hard. It can seem that, no matter what good programs and processes you develop and get signed off by senior management, users just don't care.
Speaking to the business can be hard, so in this blog we're going get through to your users through the power of Tolstoy. Trust me, it'll be fine… probably.
'When starting on a journey… men capable of reflection are generally in a serious frame of mind. At such moments one reviews the past and plans for the future'
First of all we're going to have to embrace the fact that some people just aren't going to want to talk to you. Don't take it personally, I'm sure they're just busy. If they're not and still won't talk to you… well we'll get to that.
As we all know, everyone loves it when a plan comes together. Everyone feels better if they've been a part of something that has worked and made a difference. So looking at what has been going on in the business area you're engaging with, what problems and issues do they have, and what precedents has this set for poor information management?
If you can demonstrate on a storyboard where the team has been, where they are now, and where they could be, you're already winning the war because they can see the advantages immediately and help shape the development and delivery of the information management strategy.

I would make a twice baked potato casserole - your favorite twice baked potatoes, just not in the skins. And if you have a lot (and it sounds like you might LOL) you could freeze some of it. Or how about mashed potatoes, or a soup with the potatoes mixed with broth and/or cream as the base. Becky |
Potato salad, potato cakes, fried potatoes (if you haven't mashed them). |

Hussain Sajwani, a UAE national, is an entrepreneur who has proven his capability to transfer business vision into corporate reality and to provide the leadership that is necessary to maintain its continuity and growth. An Industrial Engineering & Economics graduate from the University of Washington, he is the founder-owner & Chairman of DAMAC Properties based in Dubai.
Mr Sajwani was one of the pioneers of the property market expansion in Dubai. In the mid-1990s, he built several hotels to accommodate the growing influx of people coming to the emirate to do business and trade. In 2002, he identified the market opportunity and established DAMAC Properties, which has grown to be amongst the largest privately held property development company in the Middle East. Mr Sajwani holds the position of Chairman for a number of other Middle Eastern companies.
DAMAC Properties was established in 2002, as a private, residential, leisure and commercial developer in Dubai and the Middle East. In the past decade, DAMAC Properties has expanded into Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
DAMAC has delivered almost 12,000 units to date and currently has a development portfolio of over 39,000 units at various stages of progress and planning as of September 30th 2014, which includes over 10,000 hotel rooms and serviced hotel apartments.
In May 2013, DAMAC Properties introduced the 28 million square foot 'AKOYA by DAMAC' master plan development off Umm Suquim Road in Dubai. The project includes mansions, villas, luxurious apartments and a retail centre all surrounding an 18-hole Championship Golf Course 'The Trump International Golf Club, Dubai'.
Within the AKOYA by DAMAC golf course community, featured products include 'The Trump Estates', a luxurious lifestyle community located in the most desirable locations of the development. Also set within the heart of the community is a global first, with the launch of FENDI fashion-styled villas using FENDI Casa designs and influences, these villas offer a new concept of refined living.
The company is also developing a US$1 billion hotel and luxury serviced residences in the Burj Khalifa area of Dubai, called 'DAMAC Towers by Paramount', which will comprise the first Paramount Hotel & Residences in the region and DAMAC Maison serviced units – Paramount co-branded serviced hotel residences.
In October 2011, DAMAC Properties launched its hospitality division, DAMAC Maison, which will provide bespoke hospitality services to residents in 7,351 serviced hotel apartments by the end of 2016.
DAMAC Properties reinforced its position as the region's premium developer with the launch of 'DAMAC Tower' in Beirut, Lebanon. A 28- storey tower, this project is in association with Italian design group, VERSACE, with all interiors being designed by Versace Home. This was followed by the DAMAC Residences with Interiors by Versace Home, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Extending its collaborations with luxury Italian fashion houses, DAMAC Properties is developing luxury serviced hotel apartments in 'DAMAC Esclusiva' in Riyadh and private apartments in 'DAMAC Residenze' in Dubai Marina, with interior designs by FENDI Casa.
In addition to support services provided by the Dubai headquarters, the company's comprehensive Customer Care Program provides solutions through its network with offices in the UAE, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, KSA and Qatar.
