Fossils and the Geologic Column
By Editorial Staff
Published December 22, 2007
The geologic layers of rocks and fossils they hold pose a perplexing problem to the evolutionist. Many books have been written in an attempt to address the problem of a lack of solid evidence for total organic evolution found in the geologic column. When you compare the findings of these scientists to what is being taught in the classroom, you may be surprised to find that many professors and textbook authors fail to discuss this problem at all.
An interesting part of the story about the geologic layers is how the term "geologic column" originated. Did you know that there isn't one place in the whole world where you can see this column? But virtually all textbooks in geological science show you this column from the bottom to the top without explanation that it is an imagined ordering of the rock strata.
One of the deepest surface exposures to the geologic rock layers is found in the Grand Canyon. This break in the earth's crust exposes more layers than any other place in the world; yet, less than half of the geologic systems are included! There are major gaps in the "ideal" or imagined geologic column sequence that is pictured in textbooks. If we are to understand the geologic column better, we must keep this fact of science in mind.
Index Fossils and Circular Reasoning
There are twelve major layers that form what is called the standard geologic column. Each of these layers is identified by the fossils that are found in it. But, strangely enough, most often the fossils are dated by the strata in which they are found. Can you see the faulty logic in that approach? Let us read what some evolutionary geologists say. Dr. J. E. O'Rourke, writes about this in "Pragmatism Versus Materialism in Stratigraphy," for the American Journal of Science. (1976)
"The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately. Stratigraphy cannot avoid this kind of reasoning … because circularity is inherent in the derivation of time scales."
This is amazing! Fossils are used to date the rocks and the rocks date the fossils. What can be the value of such a chronology? Professor of geology, D. Ager, writes about his disappointment when physicists say that strata are dated radiometrically. He said that he could think of no cases where radiative decay methods are used to date fossils. (Ager, 1983)
This dating process for layers and fossils is called the index fossil system. For example, if a rock layer contains mostly fossils of sea animals called trilobites and lampshells, then these layers are part of the Cambrian system. Using this system, the different layers of the strata can be given a label and with this label comes a length of time that the index fossils is assumed to have evolved.
What Do Fossils Really Tell Us?
The Cambrian and the Pre-Cambrian fossils have always brought on a storm of criticism. Axelrod (1958), a paleontologist, said:
"One of the major unsolved problems of geology and evolution is the occurrence of diversified, multi-celled marine invertebrates in the lower Cambrian rocks on the continents and their absence in rocks of greater age."
Addressing the absence of fossils in rocks of greater age, he went on to say:
"However when we turn to examine the Pre-Cambrian rocks for forerunners of these early Cambrian fossils, they are nowhere to be found. Many thick (over 5,000 feet) sections of sedimentary rock are now known to lie in unbroken succession below strata containing the earliest Cambrian fossils. These sediments apparently were suitable for the preservation of fossils because they are often identical with overlying rocks which are fossiliferous, yet no fossils are found in them."
This evolutionary paleontologist was willing to ask some hard questions about transitional forms showing how one organism turned into another. Ager, an evolutionary geologist who was quoted earlier, seems to think this is a problem all the way through the fossil record. He predicted that no matter where we searched we would find "not gradual evolution, but the sudden explosion of one group at the expense of another."
This is what the creationist model predicts. Creationists are saying that if instantaneous creation took place then we should see evidence of complex, fully developed organisms in the geologic layers as a record of this explosion of life. Many scientists say that a "falsifying test" for creation and evolution lies in the fossils themselves. The fossil record as well as living organisms show no transitional forms. Does this falsify the evolutionist of the creationist claims?
The Punctuated Equilibrium Theory
Knowing about significant gaps in the fossil record, evolutionists have come up with an explanation called "punctuated equilibrium."
Professors Stephen Gould and Niles Eldredge (1980) introduced a hypothesis which they feel could explain gaps in the fossil record. Certain species appear in the fossil record fully formed and persist for a long time; they then disappear from the record looking very much as they did in the beginning. Later, other species appear in the fossil record fully formed. The change to a different species occurred suddenly. These fossils, they say, are the offspring of the ones that had disappeared. In other words, evolution had been going on all the time, but the evidence can't be observed. (Stanley, 1979; 1981)
Assumptions are not facts of science. The gaps are there and there is no scientific principle that will help to bridge them. Creationists point out that everything we know about the genetic mechanisms excludes this idea from rational scientific thought.
Jellyfish and Fish
What is the evidence from the fossils for the origin of invertebrates (animals without backbones) and vertebrates (animals with backbones)? Evolutionists say that vertebrates evolved over 100 million years from invertebrates. This, of course, is a major jump, outside known biological processes, and one that brings strong counter arguments from the creationists. Could an organism such as a jelly fish evolve into a bony fish? The evolutionary hypothesis from this idea is somewhat complex. Evolutionists claim that the transition from invertebrate to vertebrate passed through a simple chordate (animals with a soft spine or notochord) state.
"How this earliest chordate stock evolved, what stages of development it went through to eventually give rise to truly fish-like creatures, we do not know. Between the Cambrian, when it probably originated, and the Ordovician, when the fish fossils of animals with really fish-like characteristics appeared, there is a gap of perhaps 100 million years which we will probably never be able to fill." (Ommaney 964)
It seems that even the well-known advocate and teacher of evolution, Dr. A.S. Romer, believes that all of the major fish classes are clearly and distinctly set apart from one another. There are no transitional forms. He said:
"In sediments of the late Silurian and early Devonian age, numerous fish-like vertebrates of varied types are present, and it is obvious that a long evolutionary history and taken place before that time. But of that history we are mainly ignorant." (Romer, 1966)
The conclusion – Not one single transitional form between invertebrates and fish has ever been found!
A Fish Story
According to the evolutionary scenario the fish gave rise to the amphibia (frogs, salamanders). As Carl Sagan suggested in his Cosmos television series, during a drought in the Devonion, when the swamps were drying up, some fish would have found it very convenient to have evolved feet and legs for walking overland (Sagan, 1980). This idea is that a lobe-finned fish (crossopterygian) was supposed to have evolved into an amphibian (ichthyostegid) about 500 million years ago.
Do we have any evidence of fossils that indicate such a transition between fish and amphibians? No! Not one fossil has ever been found showing part fins and part feet. The ichthyostegid amphibian had your basic amphibian limbs. When Dr. Colin Pattersen, an Associate at the British Museum of Natural History, and author of the test Evolution, was asked whether he thought the crossopterygian was the ancestor of the ichthyostegid, he answered, "I have questions about that … It is futile to be looking for answers to questions which we have no way of answering." (Sunderland, 1988)
Again there is no fossil evidence. The following are just a few of the serious flaws in the fish-to-amphibian theory:
1. The bone pattern in the lobe-finned fish appears abruptly and complete in the fossil evidence. No fossils connect this bone pattern to the fins of the other fish.
2. There is no elbow joint in the fin. No fossils of fish with jointed fins have been found.
3. The pelvic (hip) bone of the fish is small. This bone is loosely attached to muscle and does not connect to the back bone.
4. Other orders of amphibians appear in the same geologic layers.
5. The "living fossil" lobe-finned fish, coelacanth, is adapted for life in the deep sea, and does not use its fins for walking.
As we have seen, the data suggests abrupt, sudden appearance of fully developed, complex organisms. Only imagination in the realm of science fiction can create evolutionary scenarios from the fossil data.

Your comments are welcome!
Actually, the fossil record demonstrates two things: 1-abrupt appearance of fully formed organisms in the Cambrium, as you mention and 2- rapid burial of creatures during the flood of Noah, primarily appearing in the strata according to their ecosystem at the time of burial, but not always, due to rearrangement by strong currents.

The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.

The Four Keys to the Millennium (Book)
Foundations in Biblical Eschatology
By Jay Rogers, Larry Waugh, Rodney Stortz, Joseph Meiring. High quality paperback, 167 pages.
All Christians believe that their great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will one day return. Although we cannot know the exact time of His return, what exactly did Jesus mean when he spoke of the signs of His coming (Mat. 24)? How are we to interpret the prophecies in Isaiah regarding the time when "the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea" (Isa. 11:19)? Should we expect a time of great tribulation and apostasy or revival and reformation before the Lord returns? Is the devil bound now, and are the saints reigning with Christ? Did you know that there are four hermeneutical approaches to the book of Daniel and Revelation?
These and many more questions are dealt with by four authors as they present the four views on the millennium. Each view is then critiqued by the other three authors.

Ford's social media team knows that in order to keep your fans engaged you have to continually provide valuable content.
Social media marketing may seem like it's still all shiny and new, but concepts, ideas, and what's cool move through the proverbial Internet universe at warp speed. What was the darling of today or last week can be forgotten in a very small amount of time.
That's not to say we, as marketers, shouldn't be learning from our social media marketing campaigns. Social media has a tendency to be fleeting because of its unique ability to serve up information that an audience wants quicker than a search engine spider can get out and crawl the information and apply an algorithm to it. With that in mind, it's even more important that you research, plan, measure, and adjust to become more successful with each social media marketing tactic you deploy as part of your overall strategy.
There are few companies that stand out in my mind as marketing behemoth's who understand that social media is a continual learning process like Ford does. Ford is constantly taking what they've done in past campaigns, applying the successes, tweaking its efforts, and tossing out what doesn't work. The company isn't married to one medium or relying on just one channel. If it did, its efforts wouldn't reach the masses as the Ford Explorer campaign has.
For a few years now, Scott Monty has headed up the social media marketing efforts at Ford with resounding success. Monty and his team do more than just "pimp" Ford's products in social media communities; they continually provide valuable content about Ford to engage enthusiastic fans of the brand.
Any company, big or small, can learn from Ford, especially with its latest reveal of the 2011 Ford Explorer on Facebook. Here are just five reasons why Monty and his team continue to shine in the social media arena:
Learning from their Fiesta campaign, the team has taken the new Ford Explorer campaign to a whole new level. From Facebook and Twitter to Flickr and YouTube, Monty's team is engaging the fans of the old Explorer where they are most active.
By setting goals and metrics, Monty's team consistently knows where to invest more time and resources to engage potential car buyers. They also know when to tweak and possibly end efforts in certain channels. If they didn't, they couldn't point to Ford's Q2 net income of $2.6 billion as proof that the company is on the right track.
The content that Ford's marketing team is presenting to the audience isn't just a commercial on YouTube, it's storytelling that captures and touches the viewer. They integrate their website in with their videos and photos, they encourage engagement, not just on Twitter but on Facebook and blogs. Monty's team truly understands that social media doesn't happen in a vacuum.
Sure, the press junket is going to miss out on the snazzy lights-and-cameras show at the yearly auto show, but Ford is looking to its future and realizing that it's a person's experiences with its brand and its cars that continue to sell the vehicles.

It's been ages since I've updated, I know, but we're still moving forward on Cyborg! We have a few events coming up that I cannot wait to write about but can't quite yet, things are still in processing and planning.
We recorded the narrative arc and have begun laying out the 1st rough cut of the film! expect a new trailer and a clip or 2 in the next few months.
Don't fear, we haven't been buried under too much snow or post-production to keep us from plowing ahead.
I promise my next post will be slightly more coherent.
For now I'll leave you with:
my Cyborg Halloween costume, a costume I'd been thinking about creating for ages:
and some particularly pertinent street art that's been popping up around Chicago. Cheer up lil guy, winter will be over soon enough.

Still fund raising, so do check out the Donation page for more information. In the mean time, I'll be grant writing, researching more grants, and flying out to Rochester, NY soon to interview Dr. Arthur Moss and see what's new with the ICD registry, and maybe get a chance to head up to the sports registry at Yale.
Busy months ahead!
An over due and a big shoutout is (over)due to Parents Heart Watch for hosting a fantastic conference! I met some truly amazing people, heard some heart wrenching and inspiring stories, and had an over all phenomenal weekend in New Orleans. Thank you for making such an experience possible!

The news is very exciting in a world where AIDS and HIV devastates much of Africa and parts of Asia. Doctors at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections in Atlanta have reported success of curing a two-and-a-half year old child with HIV. The child has repeatedly tested negative for the virus that causes AIDS after a year without medication.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - It's the first time such a case has been documented. The unidentified child, whose name and sex has not been released, but was born in Mississippi now has a normal life expectancy and is highly unlikely to be infectious to others, doctors believe.
It's not yet known why the treatment was effective. The surprise success has raised hopes that the therapy might ultimately help doctors eradicate the virus among newborns.
"Now, after at least one year of taking no medicine, this child's blood remains free of virus even on the most sensitive tests available," Dr. Hannah Gay, who cared for the child at the University of Mississippi medical center said. Gay added that a patient is functionally cured of HIV when standard tests are negative for the virus. She noted that it is likely that a tiny amount remains in their body.
"We expect that this baby has great chances for a long, healthy life. We are certainly hoping that this approach could lead to the same outcome in many other high-risk babies," she added.
Women with HIV are given antiretroviral drugs during pregnancy to minimize the amount of virus in their blood. Their newborns go on courses of drugs too, to reduce their risk of infection further. The strategy can stop around 98 percent of HIV transmission from mother to child. The number of babies born with HIV in developed countries has fallen dramatically overt he past several years.
In both the U.K. and Ireland, around 1,200 children are living with HIV they picked up in the womb, during birth, or while being breastfed. If an infected mother's placenta is healthy, the virus tends not to cross into the child earlier in pregnancy. The virus can be transferred in labor and delivery.
In sub-Saharan Africa, however, around 387,500 children aged 14 and under were receiving antiretroviral therapy in 2010. Many were born with the infection. Nearly two million more children of the same age in the region are in need of the drugs.
In the Mississippi case, the mother was unaware she had HIV until after a standard test came back positive while she was in labor. "She was too near delivery to give even the dose of medicine that we routinely use in labor. So the baby's risk of infection was significantly higher than we usually see," Gay said.
Doctors began treating the baby aggressively 30 hours after birth. The doctor opted for the more aggressive treatment because the mother had not received any during her pregnancy.
Several days later, blood drawn from the baby before treatment started showed the child was infected, probably shortly before birth. The doctors continued with the drugs and expected the child to take them for life.
However - after a month of starting therapy, the level of HIV in the baby's blood had fallen so low that routine lab tests failed to detect it.
The mother and child stopped taking their regularly scheduled medical appointments. The child had no medication from the age of 18 months, and did not see doctors again until it was nearly two years old.
"We did not see this child at all for a period of about five months," Gay said. "When they did return to care aged 23 months, I fully expected that the baby would have a high viral load . All of the tests came back negative, very much to my surprise," she said.

New York Rangers 40/1 Odds to Win the Stanley Cup
Your New York Rangers are currently sitting at 40/1 odds to win the Stanley Cup this year. Here is the complete list according to Vegas Insider:
Team Open Vancouver 6/1 Pittsburgh 7/1 Philadelphia 9/1 Washington 10/1 Boston 10/1 Chicago 12/1 Detroit 12/1 Los Angeles 12/1 San Jose 12/1 Tampa Bay 12/1 Montreal 20/1 Nashville 25/1 Anaheim 25/1 Buffalo 30/1 New Jersey 30/1 Phoenix 30/1 Calgary 35/1 Carolina 35/1 Dallas 40/1 N.Y. Rangers 40/1 St. Louis 40/1 Toronto 50/1 Winnipeg 50/1 Minnesota 60/1 Edmonton 65/1 Colorado 65/1 Ottawa 65/1 Columbus 75/1 N.Y. Islanders 80/1 Florida 125/1
Looking at the list I must say I was shocked at some of the rankings but I'm just going to focus on the Rangers. They are currently sitting in a tie for 19th, with the Dallas Stars and St Louis Blues. The Stars missed the playoffs barely and the Blues finished 11th in the Western Conference. Also, the Stars lost their best player Brad Richards to the Rangers.
When you consider the Rangers did make the playoffs last year albeit as the eight seed in the East, you have to at the very least give them better odds than the Blues and Stars. Also, the fact the Rangers signed the number one free agent this year Brad Richards, who should help get Marian Gaborik back on track, should boost their odds.
Also, the New Jersey Devils, got 30/1 odds when they finished 11th in the East, they are placed ahead of Calgary 13 more points, Carolina 10 more points, Dallas 14 more points, and the Rangers 12 more points. The Devils who have an aging Martin Brodeur who is 39, and made no moves in free agency are somehow better than the Rangers who were in the playoffs.
If I was compiling my odds for the Rangers for winning the Stanley Cup I would place them at 25/1 odds. They Blueshirts are moving in the right direction but still might be a year or two from hoisting Lord Stanley's Cup.

Sports of The Times; Old Olympic Hand Likes New York's Chances
By GEORGE VECSEY
Published: April 15, 2004
PETER UEBERROTH has $238 million worth of credibility. He turned in that much profit from the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles by hanging pastel banners from existing sports facilities and selling tickets.
For that he was selected Time magazine's man of the year. He paid penance by trying to control 26 willful baseball owners as the sport's commissioner, before resuming his real life in business.
Now 65, Ueberroth returned to New York yesterday, praising its efforts to win the 2012 Games. Even though he never had to push huge steel-and-concrete projects for the Summer Games in his own area, Ueberroth insisted that the proposed construction would benefit New York for decades.
He also said New York has a good chance because ''New York is the only major, major'' city in the world not to have held the Games so far.
From a distance of 20 years, the Los Angeles Games seem a lucrative and easy venture, but Ueberroth recalled his reception in many communities during the planning stage: ''People would spit on us.''
It has not come to that in New York. With any luck and civility, it never will. Still, there is considerable opposition from some of us to the idea of a stadium on the West Side of Manhattan, an extension of the subway system, an Olympic Village in Queens, and other costly projects, all in the name of Citius, Altius, Fortius.
''A two-week sports event doesn't pay for anything,'' Ueberroth said yesterday as the guest speaker at a luncheon of the NYC 2012 committee. He endorsed construction as long as ''everything is to help the people who live here all the time.''
This argument will continue right up to the decision by the International Olympic Committee in July 2005. No matter where one stands on the New York bid, Ueberroth is an Olympic legend who recalls how Los Angeles was passed over for Montreal in 1976 and then passed over for Moscow in 1980. Only one other city competed with Los Angeles for the 1984 bid.
''But Tehran had some management changes,'' he recalled.
Ueberroth recalled how he and the majority of taxpayers voted against raising money for the 1984 Games, and how he then went to work organizing the Cheapo Games. He cajoled 29 communities to hold different events, and he sold sponsorships and marketed the Games with gold-medal fervor.
The profits went to the United States Olympic Committee ($95 million), amateur sports in Los Angeles ($95 million) and the balance (about $48 million) to national sports federations. In subsequent years, some host cities built wisely, while others have been left with empty stadiums.
Ueberroth has only optimism for future Summer Games. He said the ''Greek people will embrace the world with open arms'' this summer in Athens, skipping over the preparedness issue. He expects Beijing -- the host for 2008 -- ''will set a new standard,'' noting his love of China for defying the Soviet-led boycott in 1984.
New York would be a great host, Ueberroth said, adding that it could probably gain the majority of the delegates.
''I believe most voters will make their decision based on their self-interest and their athletes' self-interest,'' Ueberroth said, specifying that he did not mean through bribery.
''Fifteen or 20 will make the decision because New York has the most advanced medical facilities in the world,'' Ueberroth said, adding that others would vote for New York for ''the culture.'' He said delegates would ultimately be won over by government leaders as well as the NYC 2012 organizers.
He said New York had an edge because ''every athlete can find somebody of their own culture'' in the area, and he dismissed the legend, perpetuated by New Yorkers, that we are a surly and inhospitable lot.
''This is one of the friendliest cities for a traveler,'' said Ueberroth, who made his first bundle in the travel industry, and later lived here during his five-year sentence as baseball commissioner. ''You get accepted here if you show up and just shake hands,'' he said.
What could keep New York from winning the vote? Ueberroth said that the heavy communications presence in New York could turn people off by portraying any resistance. He said the federal government could dissuade Olympic delegates through bureaucratic dawdling over visas. And he said the United States Olympic Committee needed to rush its continuing self-reformation.
A Republican who made an abortive challenge to Arnold Schwarzenegger in California's gubernatorial election last year, Ueberroth said he did not think the outcome of the presidential race this year would affect Olympic delegates.
In an interview, Ueberroth stressed how regions gained from building for the Games. He recalled how Los Angeles pushed through a new air terminal for 1984.
''It would have dragged on,'' he said. ''You build it less expensively because it gets done.''
Some New Yorkers will debate the need to build extensively. Ueberroth's $238 million surplus earns him a forum. Maybe he has got some of those 1984 banners left over to hang all over New York in 2012.

The Real Django
If you saw the 2012 movie Django Unchained with Jamie Foxx, you know that Django was one bad dude who stood up for his rights and what he believed in. But did you know Django was a historical figure? Pinterest users did, and "the real Django" was among the most pinned in Pinterest's history section.
Poke around the history section for more fascinating tidbits.
3D Printers
Since they hit the scene, 3D printers have been printing everything from gadgets to organs, and they've also happened to make Pinterest's 2013 Top Pins list.

I have read Papazian's Book and Palmer's Book and still am not sure I understand the "hot break" and "cold break"
I understand the idea that its basically protein coagulating. And why it happens.
The part that I do not get is when I am adding my wort to the carboy, if I am just dumping everything in the pot in.... why does it even matter?
Is it because the "break" is now (after the 2 breaks) larger and more coagulated and will simply drop to the bottom of the carboy?
[This is not about adding it all to the carboy - I know some strain and some do not - This is more about understand the 'breaks']
Thanks for any clarification.

Mainly without a break you can get chill haze where your beer is cloudy until it warms up. By creating a break you can make those proteins come together and fall out.

Texterity NOT
Another (competitor) clone that fails to break the print format. If you want to be digital, format it accordingly. I use desktop/laptop only and these old eyes like a little bit of size.
Reading a print magazine format on a landscape screen is for the birds.
Texterity and Google Gears
If you choose the enhanced version that uses Texterity and want an offline copy you will need Google Gears which is slated to go away in 2012 according to Google.
LJ, you need to discuss that with the Texterity folks.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Microsoft is offering $1 billion for Nook Media LLC, the tablet and digital media business started by Barnes & Noble and other investors, according to a report in TechCrunch. Microsoft already owns a piece of Nook, having invested $300 million into the business in April 2012. According to the report, Microsoft would buy the digital operation, which includes e-books, movies, TV, comics, apps, and more. The interesting wrinkle is that Nook is built on Android — which Microsoft makes money charging licenses for – and just opened up its business to Google, signing an agreement with Google to get Google Play and inviting the entire Google mobile stack — Gmail, Chrome, YouTube, and Google Maps — onto the platform. In addition, Nook offers apps on mobile platforms that compete with Microsoft: Android and iOS. Which would put Microsoft in the awkward position of owning an Android-based tablet that, while not extremely successful, has sold more devices than Microsoft has sold of its own Windows 8-based tablets. About ten million Nook devices have been sold to date. But Nook may be phasing out hardware and moving simply to delivering content via apps on other company's hardware platforms as both revenue and device sales have slowed in recent quarters. In which case, Microsoft would be buying digital content and licenses to digital content that could be valuable assets for both Windows 8-based tablets and its Xbox living-room-entertainment-hub ambitions. Whether that's worth a billion dollars, however, is anyone's guess. Which means that the bigger question is whether buying a declining device and content distributor from an ailing company that is failing to successfully compete with Amazon is a smart business idea. With Nook division revenue declining more than $100 million in 2013 and a projected loss of $360 million, it could just be the case of Microsoft adopting yet another expensive albatross for its cash cow office, operating system, and business software divisions to support.

Cookbook review: 'Slow Cooking for Two' gives taste of the basics
"SLOW COOKING FOR TWO: Basics, Techniques, Recipes," by Cynthia Graubart, Gibbs Smith, $19.99, 159 pages
In "Slow Cooking for Two: Basics, Techniques, Recipes," Cynthia Graubart provides a beautiful introduction that gives an understanding of the basics of slow cooking.
She explains different slow-cooking techniques necessary equipment, cooking time and all the inventory a successful slow-cooking chef should have in the pantry and refrigerator. Most of the recipes are for dinners, from roasts to soups.
One interesting technique she describes is "double dinners," where using the same type of meat to cook two different meals at the same time in different liners.
There are many pictures and details in this introduction and instruction in the beginning of the book. However, more than half of the recipes don't have images.
A few of the recipes seem to require several steps that seem to be missing in the instructions. While available in several of the recipes, others don't have instructions on where to position the meat, what order to put the ingredients in and how to know when the meal is ready.
Although simplicity was Gaubart's desire for this book, leaving out necessary information has the opposite effect for those who are new to slow cooking.
It's always a good idea in getting any cookbook for a cook to first assess their understanding and abilities before charging headfirst into a recipe.
Pork Tenderloin
Carefully follow the preparation and finishing instructions to avoid getting burned from the hot food and liquids.
Liner No. 1 — Parmesan-Crusted Pork Tenderloin
Serves: 2
This pork emerges perfectly moist and tender.
½ of a 1-pound pork tenderloin

minced garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1⁄3 cup grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

2. Sprinkle liberally with salt and pepper.
3. Stir together the honey, soy sauce, basil, garlic, and olive oil in a small bowl. Pour over tenderloin, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and set aside.
Liner No. 2 — BBQ Pork Tenderloin
Serves: 2
Here's a classic barbecue preparation. If pressed for time, just coat the tenderloin in your favorite barbecue sauce.
½ of a 1 pound pork tenderloin
Freshly ground black pepper
½ cup ketchup
2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon soy sauce

A new documentary that screened on January the 19th in more than 600 cinemas across America grapples with controversial questions about the search for archaeological evidence for the exodus of the Jews from Ancient Egypt as recorded in the Torah.
In tribute to Rabbi Lipa Dubrawsky
Rabbi Binyomin Bitton writes about the sudden loss of his friend and colleague, Rabbi Lipa Dubrawsky.
The Rebbe's emissaries followed his directives, while wondering about the sudden urgency... That afternoon, the threat of horrific terror against Israel was averted...
A sense of history provides context to help us better deal with the present, tools to understand ourselves and others. Understanding our national past strengthens pride and provides a sense of the mystery of transcendence about our role in the universe. People haven't changed, and in many ways we face the same challenges that have been faced for thousands of years...

You'll have to open your wallet for great upconversion. Sony and the Panny 65 only have so-so upconversion. I've read the panny 85 has better conversion but haven't seen it myself. Some sammy's have very good upconversion.
Sorry, don't know if anyone's tested them head to head. All I know is I see jaggies at times on the 65 and some claim the 85 is better. You'll have to check the sammy thread and judge for yourself.

Breckenridge Vanilla Porter. I don't even know how to adequately describe the fail. The only other time I've dumped a beer was Summer Shandy... I'm not sure which is / was worse.
Alpine Brewing Mandarin Nectar.
The one terrible beer I remember trying a long time ago was from the Tabernash Brewery in Denver was their weiss. I remember it tasting like dumpster juice. Truly terrible.
Russian River's Pliny the Elder
It is a tough choice between any of the contract brewed beers such as the KBS you see in trader joes or these stupid beers you see that places like fresh and easy contract out to make beer just for their stores. They are all horrible but just trying to get in on all the "craft" hype but ultimately giving craft beer a bad name.
Exclusion is mission street which is brewed by Firestone Walker, if it is fresh, it is some good stuff.
Anything with a Samuel Adams label.
I definitely agree on the voodoo maple bacon doughnut, that was awful.
Currently the Treason'Ale is horrible and I have 3 more in my fridge. I can drink it at least.
I do recall the Breckenridge Vanilla Porter and Sierra Nevada Bigfoot barleywine being horrible at the time.
Most recent thing I dumped out was Crispin Lansdowne artisanal cider. It is apple cider brewed with molasses and Irish stout yeast. It was dark brown and cloudier than almost any beer I have ever drank. Pretty much horrible and the worst cider I have tried and I hate Pear ciders. Drank some then just poured it out. The Saint from Crispin is awesome though.
Started brewing February 2012:
All grain and partial mash brewer depending on time. Meads and apfelwein also.

Leadwort seeds-How to collect properly???
Hi there,
Does anyone know how to properly collect Leadwort seeds? Actually if you could tell me what I am looking for or provide a picture that would be extremely helpful. You can send an email if you prefer firstname.lastname@example.com
Thank you,
Here is an old picture of what mine looks like.
Where the brown heads are or where the flowers die back is where you are suppose to find the seeds. The seeds are suppose to be tiny and black and maybe 3 to 5 seeds per head. I say suppose to because I have tried several times to collect seeds from mine and I have been unsuccessful. I plan to try again this year and who knows I may have waited to long last year to collect them or just to early.
And yes people this plant is that true blue color. Wonderful drought tolerant plant. One of the few plants that I actually paid full price for.
I just went outside and tried to see if I could find anything that was close to a seed. The heads on my plants now are even browner than the ones in the picture and I flipped up one head and underneath was still green. So it looks as if I tried to collect the seed to early. I plan to keep an eye on mine and when I find seed I will be more than happy to post the pictures for you.
Still no seeds yet and underneath the heads are still just as green as it was during bloom. I thought my shasta daisy was a long one to get seeds from but this plant takes even longer.
Remy, are you familiar with this plant I call it perennial plumbago or (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides)?? This is one plant that has totally stumped me. Any advice you have would be appreciated, cause this is a pretty ground cover that I would love to share also.
Another option I was considering was waiting till after our first frost. If I do not collect seeds prior to the first frost and say the seeds were still in the plant do you believe that the seeds would still be viable after the frost hits the plant??
Well still no success in finding anything that resembles a seed. I did some research I want to say maybe 2 or 3 years ago and that is where I found the information about the 3 to 5 seeds. Well tonight I said I am going to try and locate that website, so far I have been searching for I know at least an hour, not including what I have been doing throughout the week. This is about the closest bit of info that has anything on where the seed is. I posted the link below for anyone else interested.
Funny thing is while searching I keep finding this post, and one guy back in 2008 was looking for about 5000 plants but no luck on anything in anymore detail then what I posted and that is not much.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ceratostigma plumbaginoides

You can't argue with the location - it is close to everything; about 5 minutes to downtown West Palm, 15 mins to Palm beach and nearby to shopping and all the sites. I appreciated the dog-friendliness of the rental. The amenities at the property were well enjoyed, especially sunning and relaxing by the pool. Unlike a lot of renters, I suppose, I like to prepare my own meals. As a result I found the kitchen to be challenging, but it was generally manageable. I would certainly stay in this rental again and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing spot for a getaway.'
This is my second time renting this unit. The property was clean and the owner was very nice to deal with. I had two large dogs with me and stayed for a week. With a studio apartment, a fully furnished kitchen, no hotel can come close to offering what this facility does. I will rent again.
A great place to stay. The owner of the unit is very nice to deal with. This is my second time staying at the place and I loved it. I reserved the unit for a week and enjoyed my stay. The property was clean, the manager was very friendly and there were no issues. I'd rent again.
My wife and I spent 5 weeks in this place and we loved it.
We had a wonderful time at this cottage. It was just as described - small but very comfortable. Quiet area at the end of the street. Beautiful pool area - with nice large pool! We will definitely recommend it to others.
I enjoyed my stay!!! The place was great and perfect for a couple. The area was really nice. I really aprreciate the owner for being so understanding. I Definitely recommend this to any couples. When i go back i will come back to this place! Absolutely loved it.
My husband, two boys, ages 6 & 12 , and I stayed here for 4 weeks! It is small but enjoyable! The other tenets were great and very helpful. We all enjoyed the pool. We have just moved to the area, and anytime we have family come down we will without a doubt have them stay here!! Thank you so much!!!!
