In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
When you are in church, do you act and speak differently than when you are in school? Do you tend to compartmentalize what you learn about in Biology class from what you learn about in Sunday School?
All of you who do science, all of you who teach or research or you're involved in engineering or medicine or education, or biology or chemistry or physics—you are doing a noble thing. You are thinking God's thoughts after him. … You are obeying God's command given way back in Genesis to exercise dominion, to learn about, to be curious and discover and steward the earth.
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.
What's the evidence for the idea that God exists or doesn't exist? I think anyone who's looked at that would conclude that the strong atheist position of saying, "I know there is not God" is not an easy one to sustain.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.
In today's video, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
In today's video, theologian Alister McGrath discusses how we can make sense of the world in light of a fallen creation. One way, he notes, is to look for evidence from as many sources as possible, as science does.
In today's video, Rev. Dr. Michael Lloyd points out that it's often the annoying things-- the things we want to deny and shut out-- that can actually improve and enlarge our worldview.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Many scientists feel that the ID movement is an attempt to locate gaps in our scientific knowledge and then to presume those gaps can only be filled by intervention of an external intelligence. It is important to note that ID leaders do not view their work this way.
Over the past two decades, the intelligent design movement has been working diligently to offer a parallel version of modern science, one that can scientifically show God at work in creation.
Ian Hutchinson draws a sharp line between science and scientism. Scientism holds that all truth emerges from scientific study and explanation. Hutchinson, however, disagrees as he points to science's inability to establish truth about, for example, the events that have occurred in humanity's history on earth. He specifically engages Richard Dawkins assertions (from the book The God Delusion) that God is a scientific hypothesis that has been essentially disproved by science and that evolution explains religion as nothing more than a natural phenomenon.
In this video, Daniel Harrell affirms that science is not the only way to pursue truth. Rather, truth happens in a variety of different ways and each one ultimately leads to an understanding of God.
In this video, Pastor Daniel Harrell encourages the Christian community to embrace science as an element which can harmonize and strengthen, rather than attack and undermine their understanding of theology.
In this video, Denis Alexander remarks that it is an error to argue that evolution is inherently atheistic, as it takes the scientific theory and imposes one's personal ideology upon it.
In this video "Conversation," three faculty members from Christian colleges -- Professor Dorothy Boorse of Gordon College, Professor Jim Nichols of Abilene Christian University, and Provost Claudia Beversluis of Calvin College -- share thoughts on teaching evolutionary science to Christian undergraduates.

It's interesting to note, that a seismology student at a university in Chile finally had enough nonsense from false information over Twitter, etc about earthquakes, that he directly wired a big batch of seismographs to directly post their results via Twitter. The last I knew, they had over 1 million followers, and this particular student has been getting big thank yous from residents of the country.
One of the criteria in their algorithm seems to be that credible tweets were
... significantly more likely to contain frowny emoticons than smiley faces.
They were evaluating tweets about a disaster; not a lot of smiley faces there.
The algorithm seems to have a bias toward bad news. So, if my buddy tweets that a rare Belgian beer will be available at the local liquor store, the algorithm will decide that it isn't credible because of the smiley face.
We just had the above case. Beer that you usually have to cross the Atlantic to get became available for about 30 minutes locally. Some of us lined up starting at 3:00 AM. I would have been really ticked off if some algorithm had made me miss the news.

Was SANDAG's toll-road purchase money well-spent?
Ridership is up, but huge debt remains
"It was like smooth sailing," Davis said of the expressway. "It was costly, but I was ready to pay it" because of the time savings and reduce gasoline bill.
SANDAG has taken several marketing steps to boost ridership and build goodwill among the toll road's users.
Last summer, it launched a retail partnership with Costco to expand its customer base. Since then, the agency said, about 3,500 transponders — the electronic toll devices that drivers mount on their windshields — have been distributed through stores in Chula Vista and La Mesa, where Costco members receive $5 in free toll credits.
SANDAG also started the Clean Slate program, which offers discounts on unpaid fines to the roughly 58,000 people with outstanding toll violations. The agency expects that payment of fines will account for only about 5 percent of the expressway's annual budget, said Johnson, the road's program director.
It said outstanding fines, many of which were assessed before SANDAG took over, total about $20 million.
No matter how many incentives SANDAG offers, drivers like Phil Hummell of El Cajon may never be persuaded to try the expressway.
"I'm just philosophically opposed to (paying tolls)," Hummell said recently while pumping gas in Otay Mesa, where he delivers plant nursery products and does some fishing.

rust stains on blue stone
Any suggestions on how to clean rust stains from blue stone patio?
Thank you!
Try the Bartender's Friend first, but if that doesn't work here is a more dangerous solution. While wearing rubber gloves and eye protection, pour a small amount of 'The Works' toilet bowl cleaner - which is actually hydrochloric acid (Mercuric Acid) - on the stain and it will disappear immediately. Be VERY careful with this and make sure that it doesn't get on anything else but the stone. Rinse very well - better to CAREFULLY pour water on the acid to delute it than to use a hose that can splatter.
Note: 'The Works' has different product lines for cleaning tub & tile, for example. What I'm talking about here is the 'for toilet bowl only' product.
Hydrochloric acid is also called muriatic acid.
I wouldn't be using it on my bluestone patio. Sure it will remove the rust stains, but depending on what kind of blue stone you have it may etch the stone.
If you have any stone left over, try it there first.
Linda C
In any case, rust stains can be removed using HMK R77 Rust Remover. This is a dilute acid cleaner that is not suitable on polished stone, and you should test it first on an inconspicuous area first.
This is a special order item available by calling Diane at hmkstonesoap.com 406-880-7866
Once stone is clean, it should be sealed using HMK S34 silicone impregnating sealer.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
i prefered the old one ... http://www.aiwa.com/
Idem. The old one was much more recognisable, imho.
The application of the logo to the faces on the home page is weak. The people look angry or irritated or even zobie like. Prob not a good way to align your identity with a good consumer experience.
Terrible move. It doesn't even look close to reading AIWA. If you ask me, AIWA set in Beesknees (HA!) would be better. You could at least read it.
Sony will never change their logo. Ask them why.
Interesting that you should mention them. Sony owns Aiwa...
Those chicks look pissed. "My Xmas gift is an AIWA?!"
>The people look angry or irritated or even zombie like.
Zombie is right. Actually, it looks as if they've had their lips stitched shut, if you ask me. Perhaps that's to stop them from complaining about the new logo.
Wow. I'd love to meet the person who sold that one to the board:
"... and not only that, but misspelling the name actually enhances brand recognition."
Sony owns everyone. That doesn't mean Sony runs AIWA.
AIWA has a reputation that, as far as I know, is not bad. Maybe their real reputation is crap. I personally have never owned an AIWA product. Either way, they just killed it by launching this mystery brand. Maybe that's what they wanted. Maybe it's not even supposed to be AIWA anymore.
Just found this:
"The logo will reflect the innovation and quality of the Aiwa brand," said Takahashi. "It will stand for everything that young electronics consumers are looking for."
Hmmm. I'm thinkin' there's a trend here:
If you've ever owned an Aiwa product you'd be angry and irritated too. I've had no success with them. Jay's right, looks like it fits with Sony's other brands
Maybe I'm off herem But I think its a good move.
I really think it 'caters' to the demographic they are trying to market to, right?
I don't think legibility is the key concern here.
I think the overall impression is something that these 'kids' or 'young teen agers' will indentify with. Well all know the stuff sucks, but these kids want the two thousand backlit lcd readouts. With 'super cool sound settings'. granted it would not be a smart marketing choice for a true audiophile, but consider the demographic.
Am I off base here? Overall I enjoy it.
My problem with the mark is its forgetable. It will be a thing of the past sooner than later. Its more of an Illustration than a type rendition of a logo, I say yuck and thats my opinion. Dan
What is this, reactionary watch? Does anyone genuinely mourn the passing of the old aiwa logotype, I mean, apart from its legibility (a quality which has value only in hindsight) did anyone actively like it?
OK, the "stroke mouth" implementation is a bit (...) of a mistake but I quite like the new mark.
>Doomed to stasis
You think so? I think the text/image ambiguity give the logo a vibrancy as the "i" cedes to the "w" then pops out again in the reading, rereading and making sense process.
based on the image above, it seems as if the third
'piece' of the logo looks way too heavy to go
with the first two.
I thought maybe it was just a bad web version,
but no...
the new logo has been posted at
and it looks pretty much like that.
I nominate it for the Hall of Shame.
I didn't feel actively engaged by the old logo; the new is a mark more than an actual logotype.
As I look at it, I like the attempt at a more universal, all-encompassing I-dare-you-to-try-and-read-this-if-you're-cool kind of design.
Depending on their target audience, I am guessing it is perfect, right?
Why are there Daria-esque angry young teens on their homepage?
Oh, well. A historian will document this transition and it will be coined as a movement, or maybe it will wind up in the Hall of Shame (near a restroom) like BJ Harvey was mentioning...
> I nominate it for the Hall of Shame.
Now I think that
Kyle - the hall o shame because it is poorly drawn, specifically the weight.
Take a look at the illustrator file ...
i dig the concept, but the execution is poor, imo.
Smashing Pumpkins, I like the analogy. (Ofcourse, it's even worse in the UK because it doesn't conjure an image of teenage Halloween vandalism but one of a genteel village fete gardening competition: "Those pumpkins are smashing Mr. Williams..."). Maybe someone should post an image of a pumpkin lantern with the aiwa mouth, just to fold everything together again.
Seriously though...
BJ. How can you assess whether the logo is poorly drawn if you don't know the intention behind the drawing? Are you implying that the designer didn't realise that the second "a" was heavier than the first one? The supposedly problematic features of the logo to my mind lend intrigue and, I'll say it again, vibrancy to the design.
Still awake here on the left coast.
I think we have a DOO, a difference of opinion...
on one side, we have doomed statis, yuck, poorly drawn, and silly.
on the other side, we have vibrancy, intrigue, etc.
there is no right answer, nothing that can be proven,
just opinions that differ.
that's good, makes us all think and I find myself
learning more.
I'll acknowledge that a logo doesn't need to be well-drawn to
be effective...but after noodling around in Illustrator, the
logo looks much better with a third piece that better matches
the first two pieces in weight.
I think the weight of the third piece is a mistake, but I can accept the possibility
that someone thought it was a good idea.
as far as intriguing/problematic logos, I am
reminded of this US chain...
>> How can you assess whether the logo is poorly drawn
if you don't know the intention behind the drawing?
If we were to adhere to this notion, then we couldn't
judge anything without knowing *what were they thinking*?
Is the UPS logo an abomination? Let's ask the firm that did it what its
intentions were before we give our critique.
Is Mrs. Eaves an effective text face or a loose bicycle?
Let's ask Zuzana what her intentions were.
Does that make sense to anybody?
Is the Bed, Bath and Beyond logo poorly done?
Did the designer purposely enlarge the OND?
I do like the Smashing Pumpkins and admire
Billy Corgan's gifts//
That's brilliant. The "Bed, Bath & Beyond" thing is amazingly bad. Is this a well-known chain in the US? And where did they get their stupid name? Is there some kind of natural progression from bed to bath to beyond (whatever that means)?
Yes you're right it's horrible. But do you know this one:
Again it's not the greatest logo in the world but neither is it as risible as your example. In other words the implementation is (relatively) poised and subtle.
The new aiwa logo is at least another level removed in that it has moved into abstraction and is allowed to generate its own logic. Would we be justified in saying the logo becomes louder or more intense? The effect reminds me of Picasso's late drawings where you follow the line of a figure and suddenly a shoulder pops or a muscle flexes as you try to make sense of the whole. I don't want to flog a patch of ground where there was once a dead horse so I won't go on...
Do I think the designer's intention matters here? Yes because it 's easy to rush to judgements based on our preconceptions but it isn't at all desirable. A useful critique will always attempt to meet the object on open (or deterritorialized) ground.
Do I love the new aiwa logo? No, but I think it's a lot more interesting than most people here are prepared to admit. If this forum is meant to present a new logo every now and again so that everyone can take the piss then fair enough. Let me know and I won't bother anyone with further posts.
I think if they wanted a good version of the aiwa logo they should have gone up to Harlem and asked one of the Grafitti artist to create it. It would be young hip and I bet better. How do you know if something is good or bad? Try eating dry Turkey or burnt peas, no one has to tell you its bad. The problem with the new logo is its forgetable. Dan
Munch.. Munch, sorry eating dry turkey.
On the topic of bad drawing.
I enjoyed the 'Brit' smashing pun. ;)
>I do hope I get an ALVA stereo for Christmas.
Tony Alva is making stereos now? Dude!
Bed Bath & Beyond would have done better with something like this done by Pentagram. Although, neither is truely inspired, at least one is typographically decent. BB&B is not *aweful* though, it get so very very much worse.
When creating a logotype for an international audience, there is a benefit to be considered in using an abstracted wordmark. It becomes more about graphic legibility than literal readability.
"AIVA" What's that?
In order for a logotype to be recognizable and memorable, it must first be legible.
Tim --
Even as a supporter of legibility, I could not disagree more. I remeber a lot of sh*t I don't understand.
I'm pathetic. I've never noticed the distortion in the "Beyond" of "Bed, Bath & Beyond". Sad, but true. I think I must have put it in my "Huh? Whatever..." file the first time I saw it, then never really looked at it again. Simon, the BB&B stores are pretty ubiquitous here in the United States of Generica. Every strip-mall has one, and I'm sure some of the larger malls have 2 or 3.
As a mark, I think the alva logo is ok. The problem is, with it being almost-but-not-quite-legible, what do you do with it? The Walkman "W" wouldn't say "Walkman" unless it had the word "Walkman" next to it most of the time; are you going to put the word "AIWA" (in helvetica light) next to the alva mark each time? Won't that look repetitively redundant? And will it highlight the fact that the mark is missing a couple strokes?
> I'm pathetic. I've never noticed the distortion
Same here.
What does that mean?
Ah. I'm not the only one; I feel better.
Maybe, by the time we get to the end of the name, we're rushing so fast we don't notice the distortion? Or is is something to do w/ the time-warp that dwells in each of those stores: you know, the one that causes you to spend 45 minutes looking at tooth-brush holders?
> we're rushing so fast
You could say that, but it's not a physical/conscious rush - it's more our reading "firmware" doing its job efficiently. It seems to me that our subconscious learns the types of things our consciousness wants brought to its direct attention: for somebody who designes logos (not me) the distortion is classed as "interesting information", but for most people it's not treated specially, in terms of being brought to the attention of the consciousness. The question remains however whether things the subsonscious notices but does not "send up" have some effect somehow or not.
We have here a range from unintelligible to boring. The ultimate goal is immediate recognition and good taste. Obfuscation is shooting yourself in the foot, clumsy type treatments -- bed, bath, and beyond (the WC?) -- causes a viewer to move on without pausing to register a positive thought. That's pi$$ing into the wind.
it does fit the newer "sony logos" but I still prefer the old one.
The logos before and after.
Re: AIWA's positioning.
I think AIWA is to Sony what Saturn is to GM (in other words, a lower-end brand that's still decent).
Re: the new mark.

With added ambiguity they're exacerbating their other brand problem... AIWA has one of those names where you're never sure if you're saying it right until you hear them say it. (Hmm, just like Sony Vaio and Sony Cli

No, nobody will miss the old logo, the w was particularly unfortunate. I predict the same fate for this one. (Yeah, it's a refresh, but it has no net gain or loss.)
This visual ambiguity, combined with a made-up word, reminds me of growing up, thinking that there was a shoe called Fils. I thought that rounded triangle at the end was a cursive s, and not a stylized a.
Simon, the difference of opinion is refreshing. I'm glad someone else sees it differently. I would hate for this place to become static itself, where everybody agrees out of fear or with the hopes of fitting in.
I think it's easy for designers to get that "not created here syndrome" where nothing they didn't design themselves is cool. I'm always trying to question myself that way; to look at something with fresh eyes.
That said, bad design ought to be pointed out and learned from. The opposite of "not created here syndrom" is the "emperor's new clothes syndrom," where the thing must be good since so-and-so did it or since it uses such-and-such technique.
I do hope I get an ALVA stereo for Christmas.

When I was just a little girl
They brought me to the sea
I waded out as waves unfurled

Comments about this poem (The Sea Girl by Beach Girl )

I really like this poem, although I have to agree with Bri Edwards about the use of the word FLOUT. It doesn't really make sense as used here.
Also, in the second line of verse seven, you should use LAY instead of LAID. Sorry, I can't help it. I used to be an English teacher.
Great work, however! Keep writing. (Report) Reply
Bri Edwards (1/24/2015 3:01:00 PM)
some of my favorites:
Each a gem of ocean wonders
Formed on soft sea floors
.....wild waves crashing'
The blue, the blue, oh it does scheme
To drive one quite insane
Caused rain and tears to blend
Seaweed and shells her form did flout
Gems from the sea, her finds
i HAD to look up flout to decide if i liked it. i'd like its synonym disregard in the poem even more, even though it doesn't rhyme with about.
- - - - - - - -
verb: flout; 3rd person present: flouts; past tense: flouted; past participle: flouted; gerund or present participle: flouting
openly disregard (a rule, law or convention) .
these same companies still flout basic ethical practices
synonyms: defy, refuse to obey, disobey, break, violate, fail to comply with, fail to observe, contravene, infringe, breach, commit a breach of, transgress against;
ignore, disregard
countless retailers flout the law by selling cigarettes to children
antonyms: observe
mock; scoff.
the women pointed and flouted at her
BUT THAT'S THE ONLY THING WHICH KEPT ME FROM THOROUGHLY ENJOYING THE POEM, and i had decided to send it to MyPoemList even before i finished reading.
i did notice a switch from first person narration to third person narration, but i could live with that, and i might even like it. yes, i like it!
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
this is a great poem! the rhymes i will call imperfect, but i liked them very much. there was some way words rhymed while not exactly rhyming. very nice. if you had tried to rhyme with what i would call exact rhyming, the poem would probably NOT be SO GOOD! bri :) (Report) Reply

How to Use an Aspirin Mask For Acne
Fight Acne and Get Softer Skin With This DIY Aspirin Mask
We've heard of medicinal plants in skin care, like ginseng or witch hazel, but did you know that applying aspirin to your skin can also have beauty benefits? That's because the effective ingredient in aspirin is chemically similar to salicylic acid, which helps exfoliate skin. You can whip up your own aspirin mask with three simple ingredients for a skin-softening, acne-fighting treatment that's simple, cheap, and effective. Use it as an exfoliating paste, or leave it on your skin for about five minutes as a mask. Either way, you should see brighter, softer skin with less dullness. For the supersimple aspirin mask recipe, just read more.
You will need:
- Four or five uncoated, plain aspirin pills (Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, and the like won't work)
- A tablespoon or two of lukewarm water
- Honey or plain yogurt (optional)
Mix the aspirin with just enough water to make a paste. If you want a thicker mask, then add a dollop of honey; if you prefer a more soothing mask, then some plain yogurt can do the trick. Apply the mask in a thin layer on your face, then allow it to dry. Remove it by rubbing in gentle circular motions.
Please note: Some people are allergic to aspirin, so try a patch test on your forearm before spreading this all over your face.

Hi Philippa,
I hope you enjoyed your stay in Villa Tao, as much we enjoyed hosting you and definitely look forward to hosting you again should the opportunity arises.
Sorry for the inconvenience regarding the cleaners, I do understand the issue and good that you mentioned that, this will not happen anymore.
At the other hand you were able to stay longer and wait in Villa Tao for the last minute request for airport pick up and drop off.
all the best and Live Love Life

Philippa was a breeze to host for her short stay. Communicated well and left the villa clean. Welcome back anytime.
Philippa Baker stayed with us following a intensive and successful University sport competitions with take home wins for her home state, Western Australia. She had a friend on the Coast and we knew that she was going to be in and out a lot. It would be fair comment to say that Philippa was as delighted with us and the Guest Wing as we were for her to stay. She treated our facilities with respect, made no inquiries after reading the instructions for the handsets and air conditioning. We apparently boosted Philippa's faith in the Airbnb community. We look forward to Philippa returning for a longer stay with her partner. She has our highest recommendation as a guest.
Philippa & Michael were very nice & considerate--they checked in early so we could go to an event where Jin An was showing his art.
It was a brief stay, we hardly saw them as they were enjoying San Francisco every minute they could. They seem to be seasoned travelers, found their way around on their own, were pleasant & courteous, big smiles, easy going. They left the room very neat so my turnaround for the next guest was easy. I would be happy to host them again at any time. Great folks! Best to them on the rest of their journey.
Nice young couple from Perth Australia. Clean, quiet and polite. Interesting couple. Just the perfect house guests. Wish they could have stayed longer.
Great guests. Was a pleasure having you both. Anytime welcome again

Philadelphia Phillies (38-51) at Milwaukee Brewers (52-38), 8:10 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: Philadelphia - Kyle Kendrick (3-8, 4.12) Milwaukee - Wily Peralta (9-5, 3.35)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Milwaukee Brewers have struggled to get their offense going recently and hope the bats come alive Tuesday in the second meeting of four straight versus the Philadelphia Phillies.
The Brewers dropped a 3-2 decision to the Phillies in Monday's series opener at Miller Park and got two hits apiece from Ryan Braun and Jean Segura. Jeff Bianchi provided Milwaukee's offense with a two-run single in the fifth inning.
Marco Estrada was dealt the loss in the start and he surrendered a two-run homer to Chase Utley and an RBI single by Ryan Howard.
"He did okay after that first inning," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said of Estrada. "We have to get through those first couple of innings and see if we can throw up some zeroes."
Milwaukee has lost six of its last seven games and has scored no more than two runs in each of the previous four. The club has had success when outhitting the opponent, going 38-4 in those instances. The Brewers have won 10 straight when producing more hits than the opposition.
Wily Peralta draws the start for the NL Central-leading Brewers Tuesday and has won his last five decisions. He did not factor in the outcome of a 7-4 loss at Toronto last Wednesday and was reached for four runs and nine hits in six innings. Peralta has given up three or more runs in four straight and six of seven starts.
Peralta is 9-5 with a 3.35 earned run average and will face Philadelphia for the third time in his career. The righty is 1-1 with a 5.25 ERA in two career starts in this series.
The Phillies won for just the fourth time in 17 tries last night and are 2-5 on a 10-game road trip. Utley and Howard gave Cole Hamels a 3-0 lead by the third inning and the left-hander lasted 6 2/3 frames, allowing two runs -- one earned -- and seven hits. He struck out seven and walked two.
"The guys were playing good baseball from the beginning," Hamels said.
Ken Giles got the next four outs and closer Jonathan Papelbon registered his 20th save in the ninth.
Philadelphia, which ended a six-game slide to Milwaukee, had lost its previous 14 games in which it scored three runs or less. It is 8-38 when producing that many runs this season.
The Phillies are 5-14 in their last 19 games against NL Central foes and hope Kyle Kendrick can improve that mark when he takes the mound Tuesday. Kendrick is only 3-8 with a 4.12 ERA and 0-2 in his last three appearances. He did not record a decision in last Thursday's 5-4 win at Miami and pitched well, allowing just a pair of runs in seven innings.
Kendrick has pitched at least six innings in eight straight outings and is only 1-5 with a 4.06 ERA in nine career games (6 starts) against Milwaukee. The right-hander is also 1-4 in nine road assignments.
Milwaukee won three games in Philadelphia back in early April and went 5-2 against the Phillies last season.

Town Square
Board meets on leasing Ladera School site
Original post made on Dec 14, 2011

Comments (1)
a resident of Woodside: Emerald Hills
on Dec 14, 2011 at 9:25 am
I have to believe that one of the District's hopes is to create a bidding war between Woodland School and Phillips Brooks School over the school site. For years, Phillips Brooks sought to build a new school along the 280/Sand Hill corridor without success. As a former Menlo Park resident and a parent at another private school located in Menlo Park, I can tell you from my personal experience over the course of 10 years that the neighbors along Avy Avenue have not had a positive experience with the PBS traffic. I cannot tell you the number of times mothers in big SUV"s--and I'm a mother in a big SUV too--blatantly blocked traffic while waiting to either drop off or pick up their children from school. PBS has a reputation of entitlement and my guess is that entitlement will spill over into the Ladera community if the district is hoping to create a bidding war between the two schools. And if you think I'm crabby, don't even get me started on the traffic caused by the Rosewood Hotel. . . .

What's your favorite dusting spray or oil?
I found that using Pledge seems to attract dust, so I thought you might be able to help.
Yes, I do use microfiber cloths, but clean for a lady who wants some shine.
None. I dust with a lambs-wool duster. Sprays and polish are just one more unnecessary expense and another toxin you are breathing and adding to the air. Check the chemical analysis of these items. Many are also harmful to furniture finishes. It sounds like your "shine" may have suffered the effects of the products you've used.
You'll find professional refinishers use wax on fine furniture and give the surface a good buffing with a soft cotton cloth (terry cloth or diaper). The higher the gloss you want, the softer the cloth you need to use.
I love this website. I just finished having my bathroom done over and the slob of a contractor let construction dust go all over my house. For this time only, I would love to know about a good dust attracter or whether people have had success with an "electromagnetic duster" or if they are just more hype. Thanks all.
Just what I needed to hear. I usually use microfiber towels, but my mind has a hard time grasping the fact that I'm not using any "product"! =)
It's sort of a smell thing too I suppose, we think something isn't clean unless we're dizzy from fumes!! Ha! (not funny, I know, but true for alot of us)
Just a word to the wise regarding spray oils. A cousin used the spray orange oil cleaning all the cupboards and a week later was hospitalized, she couldn't breath. After a week they discovered she had breathed in the oil, took months for her to recover. I have also heard of young children dying from getting a hold of baby oil and getting it in their lungs. Please use precaution with spray oils.
When we bought our new dining room table, the saleslady said just to wipe it with a damp cloth to clean. She said the fastest way to ruin a finish is with cleaners like Pledge. If we "had" to use something, a very small amount of wax (some from Howards).
This was at the Amish Furniture store where we lived (nowhere near Amish country, just the furniture...)
Since then, I've just been using a lightly dampened flannel rag (flannel b/c one of our sheets ripped, so it has a new use) Better safe than sorry, plus it's cheap...
Personally I wonder how it is that products have been sold for ages, but they're going to ruin your stuff, but they're still for sale. Not just dusting, other things too. I've heard it about so many things, I never really know what to believe. It's frustrating. Guess that's why when I have to clean my wood floor in the living room, I use the ol' damp cloth. I don't know what's good, what's bad, so I go with what feels like the safe choice.

Spiegel, the German newspaper and Web site has discovered from official documents of the National Security Agency, or NSA has the capability of tapping user data from the iPhone, devices using Android and BlackBerry. The BlackBerry had previously prided itself on being a highly secure device.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - According to Spiegel, the documents say it's possible for the NSA to tap most the most intimate information on these smart phones, including contact lists, SMS traffic, notes and location information about where a user has been.
The NSA has also set up specific working groups to deal with each operating system, with the goal of gaining secret access to the data held on the phones, according to the documents.
Experts quoted in these documents express how confident they are to access iPhone data in instances where the NSA is able to infiltrate the computer a person uses to sync their iPhone. Mini-programs, so-called "scripts," then enable additional access to at least 38 iPhone features.
Intelligence specialists have also reportedly had similar success in hacking into BlackBerrys. A 2009 NSA document states that it can "see and read SMS traffic." The documents state that for a brief period in 2009 when the NSA was temporarily unable to access BlackBerry devices. After the Canadian company acquired another firm the same year, it changed the way in compresses its data.
The department responsible at Britain's GCHQ intelligence agency in March of 2010 declared in a top secret document it had regained access to BlackBerry data and celebrated with the word, "champagne!"
The NSA has succeeded in accessing the BlackBerry mail system, according to the documents, which is known to be very secure. This could mark a huge setback for the company, which has always claimed that its mail system is inviolate.
"It is not for us to comment on media reports regarding alleged government surveillance of telecommunications traffic," BlackBerry officials said to inquiries from Spiegel reporters. The company said it had not programmed a "'back door' pipeline to our platform."
The material viewed by Spiegel suggests that the spying on smart phones has not been a mass phenomenon and has been targeted, in some cases, in an individually tailored manner and without the knowledge of the Smartphone companies.

Best Member Poems
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed - and gazed - but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
Why did you bruise me with your rough places
If you did not want me to tell you about them?
And stifle me with your stupidities,
If you did not want me to expose them?
And nail me with the nails of cruelty,
If you did not want me to pluck the nails forth
And fling them in your faces?
And starve me because I refused to obey you,
If you did not want me to undermine your tyranny?
I might have been as soul serene
As William Wordsworth except for you!
But what a coward you are, Spoon River,
When you drove me to stand in a magic circle
By the sword of Truth described!
And then to whine and curse your burns,
And curse my power who stood and laughed
Amid ironical lightning!
THOU strainest through the mountain fern,
A most exiguously thin Burn.
For all thy foam, for all thy din,
Thee shall the pallid lake inurn,
With well-a-day for Mr. Swin-Burne!
Take then this quarto in thy fin
And, O thou stoker huge and stern,
The whole affair, outside and in,
But save the true poetic kin,
The works of Mr. Robert Burn'
And William Wordsworth upon Tin-Tern!
Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth like a garment wear
The beauty of the morning; silent , bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky,
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did the sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined,
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think
What man has made of man.
Through primrose tufts, in that green bower,
The periwinkle trailed its wreaths;
And 'tis my faith that every flower
Enjoys the air it breathes.
The birds around me hopped and played,
Their thoughts I cannot measure:--
But the least motion which they made
It seemed a thrill of pleasure.
The budding twigs spread out their fan,
To catch the breezy air;
And I must think, do all I can,
That there was pleasure there.
If this belief from heaven be sent,
If such be Nature's holy plan,
Have I not reason to lament
What man has made of man?
Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour:
England hath need of thee: she is a fen
Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen,
Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower,
Have forfeited their ancient English dower
Of inward happiness. We are selfish men;
Oh! raise us up, return to us again;
And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power.
Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart:
Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea:
Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free,
So didst thou travel on life's common way,
In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart
The lowliest duties on herself did lay.
The cock is crowing,
The stream is flowing,
The small birds twitter,
The lake doth glitter
The green field sleeps in the sun;
The oldest and youngest
Are at work with the strongest;
The cattle are grazing,
Their heads never raising;
There are forty feeding like one!
Like an army defeated
The snow hath retreated,
And now doth fare ill
On the top of the bare hill;
The plowboy is whooping—anon-anon:
There's joy in the mountains;
There's life in the fountains;
Small clouds are sailing,
Blue sky prevailing;
The rain is over and gone!
