Is this a true comforter or a duvet?
Hi yellowcheeks, this is a comforter. Thanks for your inquiry hope this helps!
when washing does dye fade or run?
Hello, drea1964. Hope your day is going well. Like any dyed fabric, over time, whether by use or washing, colors are going to dull somewhat. However, the company has not had an actual issue of this type with any of their products; either during quality control testing or on commentary from consumers. As with all fabrics, care instructions must be followed and care taken to not spill something to compromise the dye; or used in an unusual/extreme manner exposing it to unduly harsh treatment. If the comforter will be on or against anything you are especially concerned about, you could use a blanket, etc. as a protective barrier as an extra precaution, even if only for a short while until you are confident. It is also recommended that it is washed prior to the first use. With a white background on a good portion of this comforter, our production teams strive for the dye of the print and border to not run or spread. Machine wash cold water; gentle cycle, and separately. Do not bleach or use harsh chemicals.Tumble dry low, remove promptly. Do not iron. If there is no free movement in the washer or dryer, use large capacity commercial washer/dryer. Thank you for shopping with us and please feel free to contact us again with any further questions.

How to Buy a Down Comforter
Two major considerations when purchasing a down comforter are content and construction. The Federal Trade Commission has standards set that specify labeling procedures for products that contain down.

How to Fluff Comforters
You know it's time to cover the beds with cozy comforters when there's a chill in the air and cold weather sets in.

Comforters currently in use that appear flat should be freshened, too. A simple fluffing will restore volume, making your bedding plush and cuddly for cold winter nights. Look below to learn how to fluff comforter sets.
How to Clean Bed Comforters
Bed comforters are notoriously difficult to clean at home because of their bulk and weight. Most bed comforters are quilted and drop at least 15 inches over the sides and foot of the bed.

I have no idea. I've always wondered but I've never found anyone I look like.

I get the "You look familiar" thing a lot, but no one famous. Edit: Wife just said I used to look like Channing Tatem, but not any more. Must be why she watched 4 of his movies over the last 2 weeks.

A world without yoga pants and Planter's cheese balls, is a world I no longer want to live in.
Kirk Herbstreit... which makes me very sad.
I've gotten Michelle Monaghan and Kimberly J. Brown (circa Halloweentown II).
Women seem to think I look like Woody Harrelson (post hair). I don't see it.
I used to get John Travolta and Vince Gill a lot. That was before I got all fat and ****. When I was little people used to say I looked exactly like Mikey from the cereal commercials "He likes it, hey Mikey!" Like people would yell Mikey at me when we were out in public.

Which is the better Willett option - MGP or BF?
Dunno. Never come across a KY distilled Willett rye.
When this appeared on the shelves, the first ones I saw were 2 years old and 114 proof. Since then, I've seen 3, 4, and 5 years old, all distilled in Indiana. One might tend to think; the older the better, but no. I actually liked the 2 year old the best. It had this fruitiness and thick viscosity that were much diminished in the others.

John GordonThis Thing Is DangerousAfter about five to ten times using it, my wife just had this curling iron arc and short circuit to the point it was smoking. I took it apart because I always like to check out why something like this happened. There are two barely insulated wires that go to the heating elements throught the hinge. The insulation got pinched in the hinge and cut the insulation off. It ridiculous they dont have a sleeve or channel for these wires to move freely.posted Oct 28, 2007Link to this post

Please don't call articles like this a review. "Unboxing" or "Product Announcement" or something like that is sufficient.
You can call it a review when you can report on most of these as tested (not as spec'ed):
- Overall Efficiency (at various loads)
- PFC Efficiency (at various loads)
- Ripple & Noise (at various loads)
- Voltage variation under load
- OPP/OCP protection thresholds
- Hold-up time
- Fan quality (verify sleeved versus ball bearing or FDB etc)
Giving an award based on we plugged it in and it works doesn't mean much.
Listing the connectors and their lengths is good, even better put that in a table.

NEW YORK -- Talks in the NHL labor fight broke down after just one hour Thursday night, and it isn't known when the league and the players' association would get back together.
After several hours of waiting for discussions to resume for a third straight day, the conversations didn't go well and had none of the momentum that existed Tuesday and Wednesday.
NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly left the site of the negotiations and headed to the league's office.
The union held internal discussions most of the day, while keeping in contact with the NHL, and the sides finally reconvened around 5 p.m.
Players' association executive director Donald Fehr was expected to address reporters to give an update. Fehr rejoined the negotiations Thursday after sitting out the previous two days. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman stayed out for the third consecutive day.

What happens when you have a trust fund at 17 and millionaire parents whose self-absorption rivals any preening adolescent? Teens are tuning in to Gossip Girl to find out. Based on the racy young-adult novels by Cecily von Ziegesar, CW's Gossip Girl began by chronicling the exploits of über-privileged Manhattan adolescents—though the television show has long exhausted its original playbook. While the novels ended with the principal Upper East Siders heading off to college, the series followed them there, documenting their (ahem) growing maturity.Sometimes we do see signs of growth from the girls: Serena van der Woodsen, once a boozy, drug-addled adolescent queen bee, is now struggling to reform her wayward ways. But for the most part, the only time we can use the word adult in conjunction with Gossip Girl is when we're talking about the content. Serena rival Blair Waldorf continues to prattle and scheme. Newcomer Juliet Sharp backstabs and blackmails. And the rest of Manhattan's beautiful, moneyed and still painfully young ruling class drink martinis, smoke joints and find themselves shuttled from party to party by limo. It's all documented by an anonymous and nearly omniscient blogger known only as "Gossip Girl." Soapy, syrupy, silly and sappy, Gossip Girl has tried its hardest to be one of network television's raciest programs—punctuating 2009 with an episode featuring a sexual threesome and scads of unduly provocative advertising. (One full-page ad bragged that The Boston Herald called the show "every parent's nightmare.") Such efforts often bury whatever merit any particular episode might have. Which is a shame, because Gossip Girl, however fleetingly, does have some.Gossip Girl has never been a ratings winner, and each season the number of people watching it has shrunk, to the point at which fewer than 2 million people now regularly tune in. But the program's influence far outstrips its ratings. CW says it's the No. 1 show for women ages 18-34. And for three years straight, the Teen Choice Awards has honored it as television's Best Drama.
"Gaslit" In a series typically dominated by fashion, fornication and fuming females, "Gaslit" is a plot-driven departure. "Um, what show is this?" wrote an Entertainment Weekly reviewer. Serena wakes up in a strange hotel room with a bevy of drugs by her bed and no recollection as to what happened. Her parents, assuming their daughter backslid, ship her off to a rehab facility, unaware that Juliet framed Serena. "I don't think there's any permanent damage. To her health, at least," Juliet says. Nate tries to patch things up between his incarcerated father and mother, who are on the verge of divorce. Mom agrees to see Dad in prison, taking the time to tell Nate, "We made a ton of mistakes in our marriage, but you weren't one of them." The rest of the hour is filled with blackmail, subterfuge, children disobeying their parents and loads of other problems. We see characters drink wine and there are multiple references to drug use, a few quick kisses and some foul language ("a‑‑," "h‑‑‑" "b‑‑ch" and misuses of God's name). Then, everything ends on a positive note with Serena and her high-strung mother trying their best to reconnect, and the rest of Serena's family sharing Thanksgiving dinner in her rehab room.
"They Shoot Humphreys, Don't They?" Olivia (played by Hilary Duff), Vanessa and Dan engage in a ménage à trois—ostensibly the last item to cross off their list of 15 crazy things every college student should do before graduating. By the time the credits roll—and the three exhausted participants sack out together—the camera has spied several passionate kisses among the threesome (including one between Olivia and Vanessa).The fact that the onscreen proceedings don't get more explicit than kissing and hugging hardly blunts the impact of the message: Having a threesome is just normal college behavior. In fact, you'd be missing out, it's suggested, if you skipped this pinnacle of collegiate debauchery. In a case of unintended irony, elsewhere in this episode high school girls at a posh debutante ball receive designated mentors to help them navigate the potential land mines and faux pas that could be their social undoing.
"Pilot" The series opens with the return of Serena van der Woodsen, a captivating queen bee swept off to boarding school (at least that's her story) the year before. Now she's back, much to the consternation of her former BFF, the conniving Blair Waldorf. Minutes in, Blair drags boyfriend Nate to her bedroom to consummate their relationship. Frenzied kissing and garment removal halt when Blair mentions that Serena is back. Soon we learn that Nate can't get Serena off his mind, thanks to a bodice-grasping flashback that reveals how the pair stumbled into a drunken sexual tryst the year before.Arguably, even more poorly behaved are the teens' filthy-rich parents, whose bad examples in relationships, sex and financial stewardship offer virtually nothing positive for their children to emulate. Nor is there an intact, healthy marriage anywhere to be seen. Commenting on the Hollywood-caliber train wrecks mirrored by characters on her show, star Blake Lively told CosmoGIRL!, "When you don't have someone to model yourself after, you're going to make mistakes. There's no one there to tell them what's right or wrong or who is a positive example."

Eleven more cows have tested positive for bovine tuberculosis (T-B) at a dairy which produced the first T-B infected cow in Washington state in 25 years.
State agriculture veterinarians tested 1,350 at the dairy and say the 11 positive results were lower than expected. Spokesman Hector Castro said these are only initial tests and the 11 cows will be removed from the herd pending further testing. He said in most cases at least one to four percent of the cows in a herd where an infected cow is discovered test positive. A cow from that same dairy tested positive earlier this month at a slaughter house.
Bovine tuberculosis is a highly contagious disease that can easily spread from one cow to another and to people who drink milk from an infected cow. But since pasteurization kills T-B, cases of transmission to humans are extremely rare.
Castro said the infected cow initially came from a dairy in Snohomish County. All the cows at that dairy tested negative. Cows at an operation near the Moses Lake dairy also were also tested and came back T-B free. Castro said there will be more tests over the next several months.

Yeah, I was just saying that if you *did* get a warning or something, that'd be what it's from most likely
I've probably got less than 30 posts in regards to Space CTF. The majority of my posts are repeat posts because people don't search before posting new threads and other posts that benefit other players.
I fully agree. If people stopped complaining and just deal with it they'd find that it's not that bad at all in regards to maps. Just ask a Pro subscriber to spawn a server for you and then invite people from the Standard servers to the Pro ones. It doesn't have to be that difficult.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

County forms committee to consider FRC request
Joshua SeboldStaff Writer
The Board of Supervisors approved the formation of an ad hoc committee at their Tuesday, Sep. 14, meeting to address Feather River College's request for a "temporary transfer" of up to $5 million from the county.
County Counsel Craig Settlemire advised the supervisors to create an ad hoc committee instead of an advisory committee because ad hoc groups don't have to meet the requirements of the Brown Act.
The Brown Act requires governing boards and advisory committees to give notice before meeting and post agendas in advance.
"Based on the information we've received from the college, this is something that would probably require some quick action," Settlemire said.
"We need a number of different meetings, and if we had to comply with the Brown Act to do that, it would slow the process down."
An ad hoc committee consists of two supervisors, who can then decide who to consult, while an advisory committee designates county employees or other experts on a topic to sit on the committee with two BOS members.
Ingstad told the board he agreed with Settlemire's suggestion.
College president Dr. Ron Taylor told the supervisors he was requesting "an advance on local property tax funds that would end up coming to us in any case eventually."
Taylor is correct that the county will give a similar sum of money to the college eventually, but that normally wouldn't happen until after Plumas taxpayers give the money to the county, which is also in the "eventually" category.
Bill Elliott, president of the FRC board of trustees, used a similar explanation when his board authorized the college to make the request, telling his fellow trustees the college would just be "taking our money early."
Although true, it ignores the fact the county can't get its money early: Plumas County residents don't have to pay their property taxes until December and April.
The part no one can debate is the impact of the down economy on Plumas County.
"Due to the state budget impasse we are not receiving state apportionment funds since July at this point," Taylor said.
"It's getting to be a very dire situation, where we'll basically run out of money here sometime in October we believe.
"I wanted to stress that it's an 'as needed' request. In other words we want to work with the county in cooperation just basically to meet our basic needs during the months, month by month, if the state doesn't have a budget.
"We understand there are difficult times for all publicly funded entities and I'm sure the county included.
"The county I'm sure has its own cash flow issues, and other districts are undoubtedly in a similar boat, but we are in a situation where it's getting pretty crucial."
He went on to address the relationship between the county and the college.
"If we can't operate, obviously there's an economic impact on the county in a variety of ways."
"Our employees wouldn't be buying things and events wouldn't happen that draw people to local business and that kind of thing. I sure hope it doesn't come to that."
He also assured the board borrowing from the county wasn't the only solution the college was pursuing.
"We're looking at borrowing privately and things like that, but we think without this we might well be in a dire situation."
Thrall told her fellow board members she and supervisor Lori Simpson would begin working on the issue that afternoon.
"What will this money be used for?" Ole Olsen asked.
"Basically our payroll and other basic expenses that are essential to keeping the college open," Taylor responded.
"I see, you want to borrow money from the county and yet the county has had to lay off people because we don't have the money. I mean, I just don't get the reasoning there," Olsen countered.
"Well it's a matter of timing is the way to look at it," Taylor suggested.
"You've got a bigger source of funds than the county does though, you know, coming from the state," Olsen continued. "The state's got a bigger, supposedly deeper pockets than we do, yet we have to let our employees off."
"We've faced that already and probably will again in the coming months," Taylor assured him.
In a phone interview later in the week, Ingstad said the committee met with him and other county employees and set up a meeting with the college to address questions.
He said the situation was very complicated for many reasons, partially because Settlemire informed him there is no case law pertaining to this kind of financial solution, only an education code saying this kind of transfer could be done.
A lack of case law means there has never been any related litigation, which suggests a county and college have rarely attempted it.
Ingstad said the county was taking the request seriously but had many questions such: What has the college done to cut spending? Can the county "temporarily transfer" funds from areas other than the general fund, which doesn't have enough money?
Ingstad said the road and mental health departments had large reserves that in theory could be used. But, if the county could use those restricted funds for this kind of action, perhaps the college had restricted funds as well and he would have to investigate whether the college could use those instead.
He said even if the county considered helping the college, it would also have to think about whether other districts, like the Plumas Unified School District, would also need help sometime in the near future.
The CAO said ultimately those factors would have to be balanced to determine what was appropriate and best for the county.
He said the county was taking the request so seriously because of "the importance of the college," which he said was "critical to the local economy."

Narrow your search
With really good photo and video quality, a great set of features and generally class-leading performance, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX100 is probably one of our favorite compact cameras ever. It's not for the inexperienced, though.
Announced at CES 2015, Panasonic has dropped the resolution of its popular compact travel zoom from 18 megapixels to 12 increasing pixel size for better results regardless of lighting conditions.
The small but notable change of swapping a built-in flash for an EVF is welcome, but the price...
Featuring a large 1-inch sensor and 16x zoom lens (the longest in its class), this compact might be all the camera you need.
A fully loaded travel zoom that's fun to use, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS30 has a lot to offer both advanced and casual snapshooters.
One more reason to close your curtains, the 16-megapixel FZ70 features an f2.8-5.9 20-1200mm lens and rock-solid image stabilization to back it up.
The company introduces the first interchangeable-lens still camera that's QFHD- and Cinema 4K-ready out of the box, though you'll have to accessorize for best results.
If you're searching for a long-zoom camera that falls in between a point-and-shoot and digital SLR experience, look no further than the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200.
The company's latest interchangeable-lens camera incorporates much of the power of bigger models at a fraction of the size.
With capable, speedy performance, and a friendly but powerful interface, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-GF5 is a good choice for people looking to upgrade from a point-and-shoot.

I, for one, am not certain I agree this is a step in the right direction for netbooks and MIDs. In the event that I bought one, its purpose would be to provide me web browsing and writing from anywhere with >6 hour battery life. Adding higher-power graphics only detracts from that goal, and would seem to me to miss the point of the "Netbook" moniker. Likewise for all the people expecting to play games and watch HD movies on them (if you can, great; but if you can't you have no right to complain: you got exactly what you paid for).
Unless, of course, this is for some decent sub-watt netbook GPU or something. Then I'd say we're getting somewhere.

Saint Xavier University receives award from Illinois Army National Guard
University recognized for compassion and support of troops in Afghanistan and Iraq
Chicago (Feb. 9, 2007) – The Illinois Army National Guard recognized Saint Xavier University as an Outstanding Center of Influence during a private ceremony in Chicago last week welcoming home soldiers from Alpha Company, 2nd Battalion, 20th Special Forces Group. The Outstanding Center of Influence Award recognizes the Saint Xavier University community for its generosity, compassion and support expressed during University Development Day in the form of more than 30 packages and letters sent to troops serving in Afghanistan and Iraq. The award, presented by Maj. Gen. Randal E. Thomas, adjutant general of the Illinois National Guard, and Maj. Cornelius E. Putnam, Alpha Company commander, was accepted on behalf of the University by SXU Police Chief and former Staff Council Vice President Paul Kolessar. "The Saint Xavier University community is grateful for the opportunity to show their support for the men and women currently serving in Afghanistan and Iraq," Kolessar said. FOR MORE INFORMATION: Contact: Joe Moore (773) 298-3937 or email@example.com ### Founded by the Sisters of Mercy in 1846, Saint Xavier University was the first Mercy college in the United States and is Chicago's oldest Catholic university. Serving approximately 5,700 students at its campuses in Chicago, Orland Park and its Loop location, the University offers 35 undergraduate majors; more than 40 graduate program options in arts and sciences, business, education and nursing; and a variety of program options in continuing and professional studies.

Margaret M. Green, 54, of 84 Cedar St., was ordered held without bail yesterday in Dudley District Court pending a hearing on Friday to determine her dangerousness to the community. Mrs. Green was charged with assault to murder and two counts each of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and assault and battery. The man said he managed to take away the knife, but his wife retrieved another knife while he was on the phone with the dispatcher, the police report said. In addition to two stab wounds to his head, the man also had two bite wounds from the altercation, police said. The alleged victim, who was treated for his injuries at Harrington Hospital in Southbridge, said he did not know why he was attacked. Police said Mrs. Green answered the door when they arrived. Her left hand was bleeding from lacerations and she was holding pressure on the wound with a paper towel. She was read her rights, and a paramedic helped her with her hand injury. Police and a paramedic tended to the husband, who was upstairs, the report said. A judge granted the man's request for a restraining order.

TO GOOGLE for its faceoff with China over cyber attacks. Google senior management took the highly unusual step in January of telling China it would no longer continue censoring its results on Google.cn, as is required by Beijing. If the Chinese government insists that the search engine be filtered, Google says it will shut down Google.cn and potentially its offices in China. The move was prompted by cyber attacks on Google's system that the company says originated from China. Like most companies seeking to do business in China, Google agreed at the outset to Beijing's rules. What Google management is really telling the Chinese government is that it will no longer play ball if, despite honoring those rules, it is subjected to cyber attack. Google's threat was a powerful and embarrassing punch at Beijing that would help counter the cyber menace if more companies have the courage to follow suit.

When you automatically nod or say yes to agree to whatever the other person is saying, not necessarily because you agree with this person, but because you're not paying attention. Combo of "agree" and "reflex."

The US is losing ground to peer economies in terms of export performance. In fact, only 1% of US firms are exporters.
A seismic economic shift is underway. By 2030, more than 90% of global middle-class spending will happen outside North America. Will US firms adjust?
Until recently, many US companies could realize sufficient gains by selling into the domestic market, which has historically been one of the world's largest.

Most people in North Africa are of the Muslim faith and therefore tend to use Muslim, Arabic names when naming their children. Central and South Africa maintain the influence of Western culture and frequently use European names when naming their children.
Traditional African names often reflect the order, time, or season of the child's birth. For example born on a given day or at a certain time, first born or second born. The name may also represent circumstances, for example, born while father was away. It is also common for given names to be vocabulary words from the local language.

Thanks to an anonymous DtL reader and Miri at Nadal News for tipping me off to this video of the ATP baller boys discussing their fave films of all time.
So what was tops on the lists? Gladiator. No, seriously. I'm thinking it must be all that sweaty man-on-man action...at least that's why I love it. Oh, and a swarthy Russell Crowe working the Caesar cut. Hawtness.
Another shockeratti? Roger Federer loves the Rambo series and Dirty Dancing. I know, I know.
And what does Rafael Nadal like? Apparently he has too many faves - another typical non-answer, no?

VIDEO VAULT: Some boys dream of being a gladiator while one likes to dirty dance
27 comments:
*arrives with blue cigars for everyone*
*tosses confetti*
Yay! One of my favorite humans in all the world, one of my best friends--the guy who taught me to play tennis, has a son!
*smiles, cries*
Alright, sorry to go OT. I'm just so happy!!! :D
What is WRONG with these idiot ballers? The greatest movie ever made is Citizen Kane.- AnonymousApril 15, 2009 at 1:20 PM
Rafa is very guarded and private. He really doesn't like to reveal much. You only get to know him a bit by different bits of interviews and that's not much!
ReplyDelete - johanneApril 15, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Braveheart is peppered in there too. More sweaty man-on-man action for the ballers.
I f-ing LOVE that Fed listed "Top Gun" and "Dirty Dancing" (classic!) and then goes on to say he "likes action films." LOL! He cracks me up!! :)
Rafa seems to be laughing off the question, like "Whatever, let's move it along." HA! - talulah21April 15, 2009 at 2:14 PM
LOL, do you think maybe 'dirty dancing' was a slip of the tongue by fed? Haha! Classic.
Brownie points to Igor, Gilles (duh, lol) and to Murray for fangirling Will Ferrell. - AnonymousApril 15, 2009 at 3:04 PM
Gladiator's only redeeming feature is Joaquin Phoenix. Though he is quite a big redeeming feature.
ReplyDelete HAAAAAA! I love how Roger thinks Dirty Dancing is an action movie! What about Ghost and Pretty Woman, Fed? There was tons of good action in those. . .sigh. . .he' such a dork.
Ivan Ljubicic is obviously the intellectual of the bunch - I saw the food video the ATP did and he gave quite a long and thoughful answer to that one, too.
Love how Sam Querrey talks about Happy Gilmore like it's Fellini. . .- AnonymousApril 15, 2009 at 3:19 PM
Why does Sam Querrey piss me off everytime he comes up in these Q&A sessions, same with Mardy Fish?
you have something against happy guys who like comedies? - AnonymousApril 15, 2009 at 3:39 PM
Sara the same thing happens to me with Sam and sometimes Mardy but more Sam. Maybe it's becaust he reminds me of stoned high school boys trying too hard. One of the many reasons high school is not an okay experience.
Anon if I had something against happy guys who like comedies I wouldn't be married.
P.S. I want to do Tsonga. OMG - Guilty Pleasure Alert: I have a fondness for ABBA. It's true! And I may, MAY, have danced a time or two to Dancing Queen. So I guess Fed and I have more in common than just a love of preppy fashion. Eeks.
But does my Gay Card get me out of it? P-P-P-Please??! Or maybe more like it explains it. Ugh.
*goes back inside closet*
*secretly listens to ABBA on iPod*
*giggles*Rich there is absolutely NO shame in being an ABBA fan. I myself am a fan. It takes a special person to appreciate and I just started getting that vibe from Roger.
*happy sigh*
The list of ABBA fans only keeps growing: Rich, Roger, me, Freddie ljungberg(see link)
P.S. Joan I'm glad you agree with me but hands off. I claimed the Frenchies a long time ago.lol- AnonymousApril 15, 2009 at 4:43 PM
*joins rich, sara, roger and the hot dude in the picture on ABBA dancefloor*
ReplyDelete LOL I just randomly ask if anyone has seen this vid on YouTube and BAM!!! A blog about it!!!!! And I forgot to put my name down. This makes my day!!!! Unless you weren't able to or just didn't watch movies growing up, everyone has to have a favorite movie!!! I swear Rafa's horrible English limits him from fully answering questions. He should work on that on his downtime. This is too cool. LOL
ReplyDelete- AnonymousApril 16, 2009 at 12:55 AM
Dirty Dancing is an action movie... just not that kind of action movie.
ReplyDelete *joins the ABBA fansquad*
OK, I'll say it now: I love Abba, I love Dirty Dancing, and I effing love Gladiator, and MAN I'm so in love with Russell Crowe. AND I'M NOT ASHAMED OF IT!! *LOL*
The fact that Fed loves all those cheesy 80's movies is so adorable to me. Flashdance, anyone??
Sam weirds me out going on and on about Happy Gilmore. What's with this guy?
Ivan cleary is the intellectual one there. Kudos.
And can Rafa PLEASE give a FRIGGIN' answer to that simple question??? Just mention any film you particularly liked, dammit - it's not like it could be the wrong answer (unless it's Happy Gilmore, hee hee). ;-P

Bacon for Breakfast: Religion and Science in Antebellum America
Bacon's vision of science in partnership with biblical religion crucially shaped the ways in which science was presented to American audiences before the Civil War.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Bacon's vision of science in partnership with biblical religion crucially shaped the ways in which science was presented to American audiences before the Civil War.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
Historian Peter Harrison argues that harmony between faith and science is not as simple as it seems, and some versions of "harmony" can do damage to the Christian faith.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
John Calvin really believed that the sun revolved around the earth, but we shouldn't dismiss the rest of his theology because of this error.
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some of the Christian objections to evolutionary creation come from a misunderstanding of what the Bible means when it says "God created".
Conflicts occur when people argue one worldview against another. They may be arguing Atheism versus Monotheism, then pull out science as a weapon saying, "science proves I'm right because of this or that..." In my view, science is rather more limited than this. Science has a lot of interesting resonances with the big questions, and can inform them, but I don't believe it can answer them.
There is often a worry that working in or studying science is a threat to faith, but stories of scientists who are Christians in the top ranks of academia show that this is not the case.
How should we interpret the Bible? What is the role of tradition? What is the role of science? Who gets to decide whether traditional interpretations need to change?
"I believe that we must now ask for more than simple avoidance of cognitive dissonance. I believe we should seek for cognitive consonance."
Carl's dramatic lines that opened his Cosmos were repeated in Cosmos II: "The universe is all there is, or was, or ever will be." When I told Haines Stiles that many people took that as a statement of atheism, he responded with surprise. "Really?" he said. "We just put that in because it sounded poetic!"
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
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.
