Series: BioLogos Basics (5 entries)
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.

So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
"There are clues in a text as to how the text should be written, so with Genesis, the rhythmic nature of Genesis 1 and 2, the almost poetic, and hymnic, function that it would have played in the liturgy of the earliest Jewish lives… it seems to me that there are clues here that it should be read in a theological way."
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
As people came together for real conversations, they actually listened to one another, which is not always common in the kind of controversial topics we were exploring—topics about origins, evolution, and biblical interpretation.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.
In today's video, Revd. Dr. David Wenham discusses how defending the Truth of scripture doesn't always require an ultra-literalistic interpretation.
In today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
In this video, Alister McGrath discusses the importance of going beyond surface readings, both in Scripture and in the natural world. The parable of the sower, for example, contains a far deeper meaning than a story of a man scattering seed.
When addressing the science and faith dialogue, one of the first things we must look at is how we interpret scripture. In today's video, Nancey Murphy discusses the importance of narratives as a tool for the ancient writers to teach theological truths, especially about the nature of creation.
In today's video, theologian Chris Tilling discusses biblical genre and the relational truth of Scripture. Tilling notes that when we read the Biblical text, we bring our own presuppositions and assumptions to the text (what theologians call "eisegesis").
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In this video Conversation, Greg Boyd notes that some believers conceive of their faith as a "house of cards"—where shifting one element will collapse the whole thing.
In this video "Conversation," Pete Enns addresses some assumptions about ancient readers and writers that are relevant to the way we should read Genesis in the 21st century.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the question, "If you take Genesis in a non-literal fashion, especially the creation stories, why take anything in the Bible literally—such as the Gospels? Do you take the Gospels literally?"
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.

So I racked into the secondary today and I used a hydrometer when I first made it and it was 1.070 today when roaching to secondary its .994 and almost no alcohol its tastes ok kinda bitter I'm thinking if I top it of with more cider or apple concentrate will that water it down at all or will it improve the taste can I add more sugar at this point and if so is more yeast reguired any help would be great thank you
Maybe I don't know how to use the hydrometer Lol..... its a 5 gallon batch blueberry and craisons
I'm thinking that if you can't taste alcohol, that's a good thing. I'd let it age and see if the bitterness subsides and the apple flavor comes back around before adding anything else to it.
Craisons? Do you put them in the secondary? Do they add alcohol or flavor or both? How much for a 5 gal. carboy?
The Hydrometer scale shows potential alcohol based on the natural sugar content, So you take your first reading with no sugar or yeast added. Say it 1.070 and that gives you potential alcohol of 8.9% You take your final gravity reading at .994 According to my calculation 1.070 -.994 = .076 .076 x 131.25 = 9.975% Your brew is at 9.975% ABV
You have some high test hooch for sure..
Hey mike I did 5-12 oz bags of frozen blueberries soaked in vodka and 2 pounds of craisons in the primary I can't really taste a difference but this is my first time making cider I was told I could add 2 more pounds to the secondary and it would bring out more flavor but I'm not going to do that I like it just fine now

Tried the Demo
The demo works, and as far as I can tell functions fine - I don't know what difference a more powerful computer would make. I can control the elevator and rudder and throttle and the plane seems to fly smoothly.
The RF specs say an optimum system would be a dual core 2.4 ghz processor, and mine is dual core 1.65 ghz. Not ideal, but it seems to be ok with the limited demo features. |

jeffpn - would the two thermal fields in RF6.5 be photofields or 3D fields? How does your laptop compare to mine in terms of processor...mine is:
AMD® APU E450 1.65GHz (dual core)/C60 1.0GHz (dual core) Processor *2 If my processor is at least as powerful as yours then I'll assume the photofields will be ok for training. I realize the graphics processor is very important also but since mine is a separate chip I assume it will not be a limitor. |

About half the fields are 3D fields, and half of them are photofields. Most times, I only use one particular photofield, because it's the USAF Museum, which is just a couple miles down the road from me. It's home!! I don't fly 3D fields very much.
3D fields are entirely computer generated. All of the objects exist in their own space. You can fly from cockpit view, and pass the objects, etc. You can also set the pilot view or spawn wherever you want it to be. Photofields are a picture backdrop. The pilot view is wherever the camera was that took the panoramic picture. It cannot be changed. There can be 3D objects in a photofield, meaning you can crash into them. You cannot walk up to them like you can in a 3D field. |

The thermal fields are 3D fields, but you could make your own thermal fields at a photofield. I honestly don't know what my laptop's CPU is. I think it's a Celeron, but I don't know what speed. I'll look into it later. I don't use the laptop for RF too much, unless I'm working out of town. But then, I'd be at the hotel bar anyway, not using RF!! I also have integrated graphics on the laptop. It does in a pinch, but it's not a good performer.

New science shows potential for significant health care improvements
SEATTLE, Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- The Institute for Oral Health is sponsoring its second national conference for health care leaders, turning its focus on the growing link between periodontal disease and diabetes. The gathering on November 26-27 in Seattle will bring together academia, clinical practice and public health leaders to expand upon the current state of evidence and opportunities to improve treatment for these two related conditions.
"New ground is being broken on the diabetes and periodontal disease connection that could bring an improved quality of life to millions of people," said the Institute for Oral Health Director Dr. Ron Inge. "By exploring this relationship, there is tremendous potential for improving lives and impacting skyrocketing health care costs."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates there are 20.8 million diabetics in the United States, making up 7 percent of the U.S. population. Of that, 14.6 million have been diagnosed, while 6.2 million have the disease but do not know it yet. Add to that another 54 million people who are pre-diabetic. Diabetes is suggested to represent 10 percent of the two trillion dollar health care cost in the U.S.
"Diabetes creates greater susceptibility to infections, a key factor in diabetes. Controlling periodontal disease may improve diabetic patients' response to insulin, increasing their chances for controlling this devastating condition -- improving their well being and reducing health care costs," said Dr. Inge.
Conference presenters will provide the current state of evidence supporting the association between diabetes and periodontal disease. They will also discuss the advantages patients have gained through treatment of both conditions and recommend coordinated treatment to improve the overall health of diabetic patients.

Despite the arrival of warm weather, Minnesota farmers are still waiting for the chance to get into their fields. In its weekly crop report for the state, the USDA says that Minnesota farmers have managed to begin only very limited field work, mainly on higher ground and well-drained fields. Flooding is still a concern in some locations, and muddy conditions are slowing pasture growth. Producers continue to expect full-scale fieldwork to begin around May 7th, more than 2 weeks later than the 5-year average. Despite the late start, experts say there's still time. Corn yields in Minnesota don't typically suffer unless planting is delayed past mid-May, though there's some concern about the impact on yields for spring wheat and other small grains.

LONDON -- The Associated Press has reported that Diageo PLC has agreed to sell Burger King Corp. for $2.26 billion in cash.
The buyer is a consortium of U.S. venture capital firms led by Texas Pacific Group and includes Boston-based Bain Capital, which owns Ann Arbor, Mich.-based Domino's Pizza. Goldman Sachs is the third firm in the consortium.
Once completed, the sale will allow Diageo to focus solely on its alcoholic beverage business. The company's best-known brands include Johnnie Walker scotch, Guinness beers and Bailey's Irish Cream liqueur.
Sources close to the story believe Texas Pacific officials' close ties with senior executives at Burger King, plus Bain's fast-food experience through Domino's gave the group an advantage over other bidders.
Second only to McDonald's, Burger King has more than 11,435 restaurants worldwide.
According to the AP, Burger King's franchisees have long wanted to split from Diaego. More than a year ago, BK chief executive John Dasburg stated that officials at the fast-food chain had talked with a leveraged buyout firm, but no deal was ever announced.
In a release from Burger King, Dasburg said he and the company's executive team fully support the selection of the buying consortium.

text: We all expected this, right? Yes, Amazon has a game controller, and it works with the company's newly announced Fire TV. Sure, you could use the set-top box's remote or an upcoming custom app to play games, but there's a dedicated controller too that's ready to wrangle a Fire TV-specifc version of Minecraft, NBA 2K14, Sev Zero (an Amazon Game Studios third-person shooter), and titles from big name developers like 2K, Ubisoft and Take-Two. "The controller is comfortable, it's familiar," noted Amazon Games' Mick Frazzini. As you might expect, this means that there's a button, dual-thumbstick and d-pad layout similar to the Xbox's option. With Amazon's offering, there are skip and play/pause buttons along the bottom edge with navigation controls placed front and center.

Then Carol made herself a snack, worked on her resumé a bit, and waited.
After she got the call that Jessica's wallet had been found, she called 911 with a panicked voice. She paced through the house while on the phone, her heels clicking down the seconds before her life unraveled. She spent most of that evening talking with police and, later, telling a neighbor how worried she was. "Where could she be?" she said again and again, still pacing. "I don't know where she is."
The morning of October 24 — after police had discovered Jessica's body but before the information was made public — Danielle Dubetz, a reporter with WPTV-TV Channel 5 at the time, went to the house with her cameraman and spoke with Carol, seeking an update on the previous night's missing-persons story. Carol answered the door in her bathrobe and looked like she hadn't slept in three days. She agreed to email photos of Jessica but asked not to appear on camera. As they left, Dubetz noticed something especially odd: As Carol had repeated over and over I don't know where she is. Where could she be? — the supposedly grieving woman wasn't making eye contact.
"Normally people are in such distress," Dubetz remembers, "they stare at you in your eyes and it just cuts you to your core. We're the first people there, and they're pleading for help. She was asking for help, but she wasn't looking at me at all. It was so strange."
At some point between 11:30 a.m., when the reporter left her house, and 2:30 p.m., when police arrived, Carol brought her .38-caliber pistol to the dining room table in its case. She loaded the gun and walked out back by the pool, shaded by the screened enclosure extending from the house. She removed her flip-flops and reading glasses and placed them gently on the glass patio table. Wearing only a bathrobe and panties, she looked at herself in the mirrored sliding door and placed the gun under her chin.
Nobody heard the shot. The bullet left a hole in the top of the screen.
When police found Carol's body, they noticed an odd, deep, L-shaped abrasion on her knee. It looked fresh, but they couldn't think of what might have caused such a wound. But when they examined the garage, they noticed that a large, metal Coleman toolbox had one drawer sticking out slightly. The shape of the drawer matched the wound exactly. Detectives concluded that Carol must have been running at the car when it pulled in, and she knocked her leg on the drawer's metal lip. Perhaps that was what pushed her over the edge. That drawer contained three Phillips-head screwdrivers.
After the sad incident, some observers suggested that the story of Jess and Carol highlighted the need for across-the-board legal recognition of civil unions and same-sex marriages. "It's very messy for us to get disentangled," says Elizabeth F. Schwartz, a Miami-based family attorney specializing in same-sex issues. "This is one example of many of a couple that entered into a marriage and then couldn't get themselves out of it. When the kind people of Massachusetts grant you the right to marry but Florida won't recognize those marriages, it can make getting a divorce very difficult. Certainly the answer is not to kill your ex, but it does remind us that the consequences can be grave when we don't have a legal and appropriate way out."
As details of the murder-suicide trickled out, the crime captivated the public. Not only was it remarkable in its brutality (the number 222 was an inescapable representation of one woman's immense pain and anger), but also perhaps more shocking were the demographics involved — two married, postmenopausal, educated lesbians.
In spite of the uniqueness, what happened with Carol and Jessica echoed so many other cases of domestic violence: Tension built and built until the relationship, and the lives of the participants, came to a horrible, climactic end. Beyond the luxury cars, the beautiful house, and the high-profile careers, they were not impervious to the stresses of a sour relationship, worries over money, or the desperate pains of mental illness.
And in that way, Carol and Jessica were just like everyone else.

Posted Thu 2nd of July 2009
Laura's Lessons Continue With Her Pretty Young Neice
After talking to her younger brother Cory, Kim decided to giver her Aunt Laura a call since she was alone in the house. When her Aunt answered, Kim was suddenly tongue tied, what was she going to say? After an awkward pause she heard her Aunt ask,
"Is that you Kim?"
"Yes, how did you know it was me?"
"Cory called and said you might be calling me."
"Oh well, ya...here I am."
After catching up on all the mundane family things, Laura asked Kim if she was calling about possibly visiting her. Kim laughed saying she had been toying with the idea. Cory seemed to have enjoyed his stay so much, and her Mother was driving her crazy, she needed a break. Laura told Kim that she was would love to have her come spend some time with her. Kim told her she'd love to, but it would look funny, her going on the spur of the moment right after Cory got home. She was afraid her Mother would have issues...she did about everything else. Laura told Kim to leave things to her, and she'd take care of it.
A couple of days passed when Kim's Mother called her aside. She asked if she'd be interested in going to visit her Aunt Laura. It seems she was still lonely after Cory left, and she could still use some help around the house. Kim told her Mother she'd be happy to go visit her Aunt. Kim arrived at the airport and quickly found her Aunt waiting for her at the baggage pick up. Kim thought her Aunt looked so beautiful, giving her a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"My Kim, you've really turned into a beautiful young woman...I love your red hair and those green eyes."
"Thank you Aunt Laura, you look beautiful too."
"OK, I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Cory, don't call me Aunt, it makes me feel old...call me Laura from now on OK?"
"Sure no problem."
"Great, let's go home...we can talk on the way."
As they drove Kim and her Aunt talked about her flight, when her Aunt turned to her asking,
"OK Kim, what's the real reason you're here?"
"It's my Mom, she's such a controlling bitch, always in my business, and of course you can't discuss anything with her, because its either a taboo topic, her she just clams up."
"You mean like when it comes to boys and sex."
"Ya, you could say that."
"Kim is there something else you're not telling me, or maybe you're afraid to tell me?"
Kim was silent, which spoke volumes.
"OK, well I think I'm bi sexual."
Kim looked at her Aunt half way expecting her to stop the car and put her back on the plane home.
"Alright, is that it?"
"Is that it...are you kidding, that's a lot don't you think?"
"Not really Hon, you see...I'm bi as well."
"I like men....I even have a boy friend."
"I sort of use him like a fuck buddy whenever I need a cock, but most of the time I prefer women."
"Really, I had no idea."
"Well, I don't share it with everyone obviously, it's not something that I would share with just anyone, but since you're bi as well I feel safe in sharing it with you."
"Have you been with another woman, or do you just feel that your are bi."
"I've been with a few girls, but I never felt comfortable with any of them."
"I see, well we're just about home...we can talk more there."
Once they arrived home, Kim put her things in her room. Her Aunt watched as she put things away, admiring how beautiful Kim had become. She had beautiful shoulder length red hair, sexy green eyes, and a very attractive body. She though for a moment, then said to Kim,
"Kim, I hesitate to say this, but when I'm alone I like to go around the house nude, would it offend you if I were to do that...you're welcome to join me of course."
Kim blushed a little then smiled and said,
"I don't mind at all and yes, I'd love to walk around naked too."
"Did....Oh never mind."
"No what Kim, I don't want you keep secrets from me."
"You can talk to me about anything, and I do mean ANYTHING."
"Did Cory see you naked, I mean did the two of you walk around naked?"
Laura smiled, "In a manner of speaking....yes."
"I'll tell you about it later, right now I'm famished, let's eat."
Kim finished unpacking as her Aunt went to make something to eat. With her heart pounding in her chest she undressed, excited about being naked in front of her Aunt. Kim went downstairs and into the kitchen. Standing at the stove was her Aunt, naked as well. Kim couldn't get over how beautiful she looked. Her Aunt turned and saw Kim staring at her and smiled saying,
"Come here, let me see you Kim."
"Holding Kim at arms length, she complimented her on how beautiful she looked and what a beautiful body she had. Kim was rather quiet as they ate dinner, wondering what might happen next. After dinner, Kim and her Aunt went into the den where her Aunt asked her to come sit next to her.
"Now, about Cory....yes he saw me naked.
"He happened to be walking by my room as he was going to bed, and well he caught me masturbating."
"I was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at myself in the wardrobe mirror and pleasuring myself....I like watching when I masturbate."
I could see him out of the corner of my eye, stroking his cock, he looked so handsome, and aroused I didn't want to stop him, and if the truth be know, I found it very arousing knowing he was watching me."
"Then as I was cumming he left to take a shower."
"I went into his room and waited for him, I know it was probably wicked of me, but I knew he was having girl trouble, not feeling confident with them sexually, so I decided to see if he wanted to learn from me how to make proper love to a woman, and basically that's what we did...made love."
"I hope you don't think me perverted, but he needed help, and I wanted to him to learn from someone that cared."
"Oh no Laura, that was so nice of you to teach Cory how to make love to a woman, no one else would have done it, and you're not wicked at all."
"I wish I could learn something from you about making love to a woman, since you have experience."
"Of course Kim, I'd be happy to, but I think you already know, it would just be a matter of helping you feel more comfortable with it."
Laura raised her hand, stroking Kim's beautiful red hair. Kim was in a trance, she wanted her Aunt to touch her, caress her, anything, she wanted to experience the love of another woman. Kim's shyness started to wane a little as she raised her hand, and ran her fingers through her Aunt's hair, moving down and caressing her cheek. Laura smiled and leaned forward, kissing Kim lightly on the lips. Kim was really starting to burn with passion as the light kisses turned to more passionate kisses, with Laura sliding her tongue past Kim's lips. Laura moved her hand down, caressing Kim's breast, running her thumb over her nipple.
Kim started moaning softly as her arousal was now off the charts. Laura kissed her way down Kim's neck, pausing at her breast, making small circles around her nipple. Kim was so aroused that she started cumming almost immediately. Laura kissed her way down Kim's stomach, inching ever closer to her pussy, pausing to rub her cheeks against Kim's fiery red pussy fur. Kim was moaning, and squeezing her breasts, as Laura moved between her legs running her tongue up and down Kim's wet lips. Kim gasped having never felt anything so amazing in her life.
Laura slid her tongue between Kim's lips, slowly running her tongue up and down Kim's creamy slit. She inserted her tongue in Kim's sex, as Kim raised her hips, as the orgasms washed over her again. Laura replaced her tongue with her fingers as she moved up, taking Kim's clit between her lips, flicking it with her tongue, and sucking it. Kim was beside herself, she'd never felt anything so erotic before. Once she had finished cumming, Laura kissed her way back up to Kim's breasts, sucking her nipples again. When she was finished she looked at Kim saying,
"Well, how was that?"
"Oh Aunt...I mean Laura, it was so beautiful, I want to do you now."
"As much as I want you to, I have something planned for tomorrow, you'll understand in the morning...right now I want you to go and get some sleep, I'll be up later. Kim went upstairs somewhat disappointed that she didn't get to make love to her Aunt, but then she was sure what she had planned for tomorrow would be worth the wait. In the morning when Kim woke up her Aunt was sitting on the edge of her bed smiling.
"Do have some hiking boots?"
"Hiking boots?"
"Yes, we're going on a picnic, and we'll need to hike a little bit."
"I have some old boots I think will fit; try them on and then come downstairs, there's someone I want you to meet."
Kim dressed and went downstairs where she saw a beautiful brunette. She was wearing hiking boots, and short, all dressed for the picnic. Kim loved her long sexy legs and her friendly smile. Her Aunt introduced her as her part time lover, her name was Donna. Donna held out her hand, her beautiful brown eyes looking Kim up and down. Laura grabbed the food she'd made and the three of them left for the picnic. On the way, Kim and Donna seemed to bond, taking and laughing, everyone having a good time.
Once they arrived at their destination it was a short hike to a little hidden away spot where no one could see them. Once Laura had laid out the blanket, Laura suggested that they get more comfortable. Laura and Donna started stripping followed by Kim. Donna had a very sexy body, with nice full breasts, hard nipples and a neatly trimmed bush. She walked over to Kim, putting her arm around her, and giving her a hug.
"I hear that you're into women."
"Yes, I think I really prefer a woman to a man, although I think I'd still like a cock now and then, but for the most part, I like women more."
Donna smiled, "That makes three of us."
Then Donna started caressing Kim's breasts, kissing her as Laura looked on. Kim was more comfortable this time, kissing Donna back, as she caressed Donna's breasts. Kim took over, caressing Donna's breasts, while making small circular motions around her nipples as her Aunt had done to her. Donna responded with moans of approval, which spurred Kim on. The more Donna cooed and moaned, the bolder Kim got, kneeling down as she kissed her way down Donna's stomach. Donna sat down on the blanket, resting on her elbows, her legs parted as Kim kissed her way down to her sex.
Kim was now between Donna's legs, smelling the aroma of another woman for the first time. Kim ran her tongue over Donna's pussy, tasting her juices as they started to flow. It was as if Kim had been making love to women all her life, parting Donna's lips, and lapping up her juices as Donna laid back and moaned, telling Kim how beautiful she was doing. Kim licked and sucked Donna's pussy, working her fingers into her pussy and ass, as she moved up and took Donna's clit between her lips. Donna gasped, thrusting her hips into Kim's face as Donna's body was rocked with a powerful orgasm.
Kim heard another moan and looked over to see her Aunt with her fingers in her pussy, cumming as she watched Kim getting Donna off again and again. Laura asked Kim to lay down on the blanket, as Laura lowered her pussy down onto her Niece's face. Donna in the meantime moved between Kim's legs, and began licking and sucking Kim's pussy while Kim was sucking her Aunt's pussy. Kim found Laura's aroma to be different from Donna's although just as pleasant. She also liked the fact that her Aunt had a much larger clit than Donna, she felt she could pleasure her Aunt more because her clit was so large.
Kim licked and sucked her Aunt's pussy, evening rimming her ass making Laura cum over and over. Donna in the meantime was bringing Kim to her own orgasm as well. After cumming hard, Laura moved off Kim and joined Donna, kissing Kim's breasts and teasing her nipples. After a few minutes, Kim was cumming hard. That's when Laura reached inside the picnic basket and pulled out a dildo showing it to Kim.
"This is going to be our man today, and he won't get tired or go soft either."
Laura eased it into Kim's pussy, slowly working it in and out of her pussy. The harder she fucked Kim's pussy with the dildo, the more Kim loved it. Donna in the meantime had found a dildo as well, and laid back, and began fucking herself with the dildo as Kim watched. Laura eased a much smaller vibrator up Kim's ass, turning it on allowing it to vibrate. Kim loved the feeling inside her ass. What really got her off was when Laura removed the vibrator from her ass, and placed the vibrator on Kim's clit. Kim started cumming, over and over from the sensation of the vibrator on her clit.
The women spent the day making love, and teaching Kim all the different ways women could pleasure one another, orally and with toys. That night after Donna left, Kim spent the night in bed with her Aunt, making love until they dozed off. Finally the day came when it was time for Kim to leave. Kim thanked her Aunt for teaching her so much. Laura told her it was her pleasure, and maybe someday she and Cory could come back for a visit together. Kim's eyes lit up,
"Do you think I should tell him what we did?"
"That's up to you Dear, but I think he somehow knows already."
"Ya probably so, but it would be fun for the three of us to, well you know."
Laura smiled, "Now that would be something...we'll have to wait and see."
Laura drove Kim to the airport telling her to be safe and to say hello to Cory for her. Then they kissed as Kim walked into the terminal, happy that her Aunt had helped her with so much. She knew she'd be back to see her, with or without her brother Cory.

G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) remain among the most important drug targets in the biopharmaceutical industry, and are proving to be highly complex in their signaling behaviors. Capturing this complexity in the early stages of drug discovery is critical and is best done by investigating endogenously expressed targets in live cells. In this application note the ability of the CellKey® System, a label-free cell based assay platform from Molecular Devices, to reliably and robustly measure endogenous receptors, including complex Gi- and Gs-coupled receptors, is demonstrated. The high sensitivity of the CellKey System allows flexibility in choosing cell lines and primary cells which express Gi- and Gs-GPCRs of interest, thus providing access to more biologically relevant contexts for experimental analyses.

"I absolutely loved the card I ended up going with, the colors came out perfect (I had gone with the gold foil and pearl white background). It was as classy and elegant as I imagined it would be. The quality of the card was thick and sturdy and and the envelopes were perfectly matching the card just like how I had chosen them to be. I will definitely be referring wedding paper divas to all my close family and friends who are looking to purchase beautiful cards at an affordable price."
"I loved the style of writing on the front and how well organized and set apart each piece of information appeared. I thought it was very easy to read. I could have done with a different pattern on the back: it was too busy for my liking."
"We were looking for an invite that was simple yet elegant, and this delivered perfectly. I ordered the shimmer and rounded edges which adds a higher quality look. I really love the way these turned out, not to mention how fast they sent the digital proof and mailed them."
"I have a particular theme for my wedding so I had to have an invitation that was suitable. This invitation was perfect. I was able to customize it (change color, add text lines, add a design on the back, etc.). The paper quality, color, and font are beautiful. It was designed perfectly, delivered perfectly, and my fiancé and I love it."
"I loved this design from the beginning. It was perfect for our wedding theme; it has a nautical nod, which is what I was looking for. I was so excited for it to come and was even more impressed with it's timely arrival. These invitations, rsvp cards and enclosure cards exceeded my expectations and I am so happy with the final result. Worth every penny!"

POSTED: Friday, August 21, 2009 - 6:29pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 - 11:04am
TYLER - As some parents continue to find the latest deal on back-to-school clothes— others have to make sure their children are up on all their shots.
It's a rite of passage every year.
If you have kindergartners, they have to get their shots before school starts.
One place parents get that done is the Northeast Texas Public Health District office on Broadway in Tyler.
But this Friday morning— what a line!
Mom Theresa Scott says, "I've been here since 7:30 and its now... what time is it? A line out to Municipal Court, and we're still waiting."
You've always needed patience when you bring the kids for their shots, but this year we counted 200 people in line, and we hear it was the same thing on Thursday.
This year— there is more of a strain on the system because there is a new state law.
George Roberts with the Northeast Texas Public Health District says, "There is always a rush to get your children immunized before the start of kindergarten. What is different now is the requirement for 7th graders. Now, 7th graders have to be checked for immunization updates."
What this means is more shots and a longer line.
Shots are eight bucks a piece.
And you need to know if you're kindergartner or 7th graders are not up to date on their shots, they can't go to class next week.
Roberts says, everyone will be taken care of.
But do to some building renovations going on at the current NE Texas Health District site, the shot clinic will be moved to the Discovery Science Place Annex Monday Morning on Broadway.
Shots start again at 8 am.

Revolting New Ratstaurant Opens in New Mouse City By Tina Spicytail
New Mouse City—If you've been chomping at the cheese to try the new gourmet ratstaurant, Too Saucy, run by Chef Saucy Le Paws, you might want to reconsider. That's because Saucy Le Paws aims to do something no mouse has ever done before—serve the most disgusting food known to mouse! But did he go too far?
Local resirodent Blasco Tabasco thinks he did. "Bat eyes on a stick? Slippery sewer slugs? Blech! No mouse will want to eat that."
But Saucy begs to differ. When asked if he had completely lost his mind, the famouse chef said with his signature French accent, "it's time les mice open les cheesebrains and try sometheeeng new."
Then in what may prove to be the most controversial statement ever squeaked, the chef added, "it's always cheese, cheese, cheese with these New Mouse City mice."
For those daring mice still interested in getting a taste, Too Saucy, located just North of Singing Stone Plaza, is set to open Halloween night.
A revolting recipe from the chef's kitchen (eat at your own risk!):
Ghostly Goody Goop
Ingredients: 1 large container sour cream 1 small bag coconut flakes 2 cans mandarin oranges 2 cans pineapple chunks, drained 1 bag mini marshmallows
In a large bowl, mix ingredients together and refrigerate. Serve chilled.
Mice in Uproar Over Shocking New Test Results By Terry Titmouse
CAT'S CLAW BAY—A colony of nearly fifty cats, living on a grassy bank just two miles off Cat's Claw Bay, seems to have defied all odds. "It's shocking," said Mice University biologist Nat Fieldmouse who has been studying the feline family for nearly three years now. "I really cannot believe it, but these cats appear to have not just nine, but ten—or in some cases, even eleven lives!"
While the results of the tests are still to be confirmed, cats everywhere are thrilled by the discovery. "I'm excited to have more time to nap," said one Cat's Claw Bay cat. "I could really use an extra year or two of sleep, that's for sure."
Local mice, however, have a different perspective. "I personally don't think it's fair," squeaked Wanda Whiskers who lives in the nearby town of Swissville. "I mean, all they do is nap. It's a waste. We mice only get one life. Why are they so special?"
So how did this happen? "No one knows exactly," says Dr. Fieldmouse. "But what we do know is that this animal is really no different from the common house cat."
While the discovery is definitely muensterous, Dr. Fieldmouse assures that it's not catastrophic. But Wanda Whiskers is still not convinced. "What's next?" the exasperated mouse asked, "Twelve? Thirteen? Fourteen? When will it end? When will it end?"

This week, 'Talking Books' is taking it up a notch or two. We will be dedicating an hour to the talented Eimear McBride, and her award winning novel 'A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing' (2013). Eimear's first novel has garnered critical acclaim at every turn, most notably picking up the Bailey's Women's Prize for Fiction this year- formerly the Orange Prize for Fiction.
Eimear's personal story is one of skill, persistence and success. Born in Liverpool, to Irish parents, she moved back to her parent's home place early in life. She grew up in the west of Ireland, before returning to Britain at the age of 17 to pursue her study of drama in London.
While living in London, she began reading 'Ulysses' and this experience has shaped her as a writer, giving her the added confidence and zeal to follow her creative instincts and remain true to her subject matter. The result was a unique and unorthodox first novel, with difficult subject matter and fragmented prose.
However, years of frustration followed, as Eimear struggled to gain traction in the publishing world. Rather than cede to the demand of the industry, in her own words, Eimear was resigned to possibly being another 'failed, unpublishable writer.' Nonetheless, after ten years of rejection her persistence paid off and Galley Beggar Press, a small publishing house in Norwich, offered her a way into the industry, which she grasped with both hands.
The novel deals with the life of the unnamed narrator and is coursing with emotion throughout, providing a realistic caricature of 1980's rural Ireland, where the novel is set. Difficult themes of abuse, illness and bereavement are dealt with in a sharp, nuanced fashion, as the book almost serves as a cathartic experience for the central character.
'A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing' is certainly a challenging read, and Eimear would have it no other way. She has stated in the past that she feels that there are readers out there with a thirst for this type of fiction and 'they deserve to be catered for.'
As demonstrated by the success of the book, she has certainly made her point with aplomb. This is sure to be one of many innovate and cutting edge novels from Eimear. As we wait with anticipation for her next offering.
Join Susan as we explore the struggle and success of Eimear's career to date. How did she create such a vivid and realistic environment in 'A Girl Is a Half-Formed Thing? Is Irish life different today in comparison to the novels world? And how does she feel about the reaction to her first book, both from critics and readers?

Hyde Park Homes Tour – November 11, 2012
We've said it before, and we'll say it again – we heart Hyde Park Austin Homes.
And, what better way to experience some of these homes than the Hyde Park Homes Tour (link)? The tour is happening this Sunday, November 11, 2012 (Veteran's Day), from 11am-5pm, and will showcase seven Hyde Park homes. The theme for the tour this year is Hyde Park: Reinvented, Rewarding, and Real.
This year's tour's purpose is to:
illustrate how seven individuals and families have adapted vintage houses to contemporary living and have reinvented Hyde Park as a place to raise children and pursue a variety of up-to-the-minute careers.
Tickets are $20, can be bought online or at Trinity United Methodist Church (4001 Speedway, 78751), where the tour begins.
It appears that none of these properties are currently on the open market, which is no fun, but, if you are interested in living in the neighborhood, you can visit our property search to view more homes for sale in Hyde Park Austin.
