Vitor Meira's Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Indy 500
Vitor Meira had a pretty rough Indianapolis 500. His car went up in a fireball, and he returned on the lead lap only to get involved in the days most spectacular crash. Roll the videos!
Vitor Meira had a pretty rough Indianapolis 500. His car went up in a fireball, and he returned on the lead lap only to get involved in the days most spectacular crash. Roll the videos!
While it was great to see Helio Castroneves take home his third win, and watching the cars is always a treat, there are plenty of things to hate about the Indianapolis 500. Here are our top ten.
Helio Castroneves has won the 2009 Indianapolis 500, marking his third career win here at the Brickyard. It also makes for a record breaking 15th team with for Penske Racing. Official race results below.
We haven't gotten decent images yet, but if you missed it, Vitor Meira, who returned to the field after a near-flambe, got tangled with Raphael Matos, his car flipped backwards, landed on its side pod and slid along the wall for about a quarter mile before landing upright. Unbelievable.
During a pit stop, Vitor Meira got the OK to pull away before the fuel probe was totally withdrawn, resulting in a full-car fireball! The pit crew quickly put out the fire and Meira went back into the race and remained on the lead lap! Cajones? Yep.
Tony Kanaan's streak of leading every Indianapolis 500 he's ever been in has come to an end as he crashed hard into the wall on the entry of turn two and bounced off, hitting hard again on the other side. Thankfully he walked off under his own power.
Turn four at the Indy 500 is turning into a graveyard as Davey Hamilton has hit the wall following similar crashes from Graham Rahal, Ryan Hunter-Reay and Robert Doornbos (who kissed the wall after some 150 MPH reverse lock correction). We're 90 laps in and under green once again.
For the second straight year, Graham Rahal has crashed in the beginning laps of the Indy 500, grinding the outside of his car hard into the outside wall while exiting turn four. Lucky for us he came to rest just in front of the press box. Pics below.
Ryan Hunter-Reay in the #21 car lost it into the outside of turn four and slid into pit lane amidst a shower of sparks. We're sitting at 12 laps of yellow out of 26 so you might say the Indianapolis 500 is getting off to a crashy start.
The green flag dropped on the 93th running of the Indianapolis 500 and almost right away two cars went into the wall. Mario Moraes and Marco Andretti tangled in the first lap. The 22-year-old Moraes was apparently on his cell phone and not paying attention, pushing Andretti into the wall.
It's getting close to the start now, the grandstands are full, cars are on the track, all the teams are making last minute checks and Miss America is singing "America the Beautiful." Here's a collection of some of the sights and sounds going on right now at the Indy 500.
You might think the General would have addressed the brake weights added to the Chevy Camaro's squealing calipers for their Indy 500 pace cars. You'd be wrong, because these have those plus a ton of weights for actual wheel balancing.
Just a reminder that we'll be live from the Indianapolis 500, the greatest spectacle in racing this weekend. With a crowd capacity of 400,000 around the 2.5 mile oval and untold hoards tailgating outside, we'll be covering the ins-and-outs of this mind-bogglingly huge festival of speed. Details below.

It seems a contingent of wooters annually go to the Petite Syrah tasting "Dark and Delicious" every year in February. So on the Sunday following the event, we along with our neighbor across Fulton Lane, David Fulton Winery, would like to invite the wooters in for fun and wine tasting. This year we have gone all out.
The event will start at 11:00 AM and go to 5:00 PM on Sunday the 20th of February.
Address: 830 Fulton Lane, St. Helena, CA 94574
RSVP by February 11 via phone to: 707-968-9575
Cost is $20 per person, unless you were one of the fortunate ones to have received one of the 30 "Golden Tickets" in the December case Woot offering. The $20 entry fee can be applied to a six bottle purchase of wine during the event.
My longtime friend and Master Chef Dean Weitz will be cooking up a storm throughout the event.
California State Fair Chief Judge Pooch Pucilowski will be conducting wine judging tests. This wine judging test is a mini version of the test I took to become a judge for the California State Fair Wine Competition back in 1980. I have been a judge ever since. The judging will be conducted every one and a half hours staring at 11:30 AM. So test will start at 11:30 AM, 1:00 PM, 2:30 PM and 4:00 PM. There is room for 12 people per time slot. If you want to participate, you need to call us here at the winery, 707 968-9575 and book a slot. First come, first served. From all those who pass the test, one will be drawn from the hat to judge as a guest judge on my judging panel at the California State Fair Wine Competition to be held this year on Wednesday June the 1st. Check out some previous years' California State Fair Wine Competition results to get yourself in the mood.
In addition, Pooch is running another competition called the Consumer Wine Awards. He will make the Consumer Wine Awards survey available for those people interested in judging at the Consumer Wine Awards Competition. This survey is also available online at ConsumerWineAwards.com.
We will also be hosting a "Guess the Vintage" tasting and a "Guess the Variety" tasting with prizes and discounts for the winners.
The wine cellar will be set up for a "Bring your own Cigar" tasting where the Angel Ice and Forte will be available for you to pair with your favorite cigar.
Remember to RSVP at 707 968-9575 by February 11th. This invitation is only open to Wooters at this time and will be open to everyone after the 11th. Look forward to seeing you there!
There's a thread already dedicated to this event, so head on over and check it out. Have all of the above info there, as well as more on who's going, etc. See you guys there!!!
I sucks to live in Ohio, and a work at a job that doesn't allow me time to go to something like this. I hope you all have fun without me!

I remember the special stuff in the basement when we were there last year for the rpm tour. That was a wonderful experience and a very lovely '74 (?) Barbera we got to taste. Plus JOATMON sharing a good Madeira with us down there.
I know the 1pm judging slot is full, but if you hurry (ie. call tomorrow) you might be able to get into one of the other spots. And if you don't make it into one of the judging thingies, you can just stand around drinking wine and poking fun at the rest of us while we try to judge.
Seems like almost everyone coming is taking the judging test. Just wanted to let people know the party is open to those people who don't want to take the test and participate in all the other activities, wine and food. Look forward to seeing you all there. Scott

Lets hope so. A hydro STI version would be nice indeed
Adding a front disc to a road bike !! And Now Hydro!Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!
Lets hope so. A hydro STI version would be nice indeed
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!3 pages, the bikes not built and half the components haven't even turned up
does this flaming thread go all the way to 20?
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!be cool if the disk was in the middle of the hub, and there was a hydro actuated brake, not sure what the caliper part would connect to though.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Sorry, you need to get onto a CT or Missy thread if you want to see 20 pages on nothing. Just look at the "I spent $10K on clothes this year" thread, or "My wheels went out of true" thread, or whatever they're called....
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!
Yeah, but at least something will happen. And meaningful content. The front hub, 2 x Velocity A23 rims, and 1 x DA7700 rear hub, and a fork are all here. Bloody Wiggle threw a spanner in the works
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!But is the underlying Q - is Avid going to keep making it, or is it just the distributors not stocking it due to poor aftermarket sales ?
A model freshen up is overdue. Look at http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=124 and you will see the first pic of the original model. I also expect a "lighter" BB9 is on the books. Last time I picked up a pair, (bikeman.com, about this time last year) it was quite easy to find a pair of mtn or road at 100 Aud delivered so I think you are at the tail end of the stock run out?
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Hi Michael,
one thing you should be prepared for is noise: my BB7 makes a lot of it. I resisted the temptation to squirt some WD40 on it. Peter Please be nice to me, I'm not very bright.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!
What rotor? Wet, dry or both? Any particular speed? What pads? I've got 185 roundagons on the road bike and 160 Shimano SLX disc on the MTB, both with BB7 and sintered pads. I find the SLX disc more noisy and a bit more again when wet. The noise is not too loud like rim brake pad squeal is. At its worst it sounds like a metallic scraping sound that a pad back-plate makes rubbing on a car disc when the brakes have worn out. I mainly get the noise at lower speeds. I've heard that the organic pads are quieter but don't last as long.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!I'm using BB7s with Alligator Windcutters and the standard pads, which are excellent. No noise at all, wet or dry. The Roundagons were hideous.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!
It's a BB7 out of the box, standard pads and rotor. Very noisy in the dry and wet. Please be nice to me, I'm not very bright.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Maybe have a look at the possible solutions in this MTBR article. I will add that maybe your pads could be glazed and it may be worth trying to bed them in again. My standard setup is almost silent now at speed and only gets a bit noisy when going slowly. It used to always squeal (to the point of being embarrassing) before I went to a big hill and bedded it in properly. Since you are using a XACD Ti fork with the shims/washers, it may worth swapping the fork to see if the fork is the problem. Ti having a bit more flex may be introducing the movement to allow the squealing. That is the same reason I believe my steel forks (on both bikes) are a bit noisier at low speed.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!This just goes to show how much different setups change the results. As said above I found the more cutout SLX disc noisier. Although the Avid is 6 bolt and the SLX is centrelock.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!
Bed them in again????????? What do you mean by that? I followed the instructions from Avid to bed them in. As for swapping the fork, I don't think so. Please be nice to me, I'm not very bright.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Well, without changing anything or doing anything, it looks like you're stuck with the noise then...
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Cheers for the tips re noise guys and link to MTBR.
The BB7 comes with the G2 rotor, and have a couple of roundagons, so some experimenting can be done re noise & bedding in. Just need the damn parts to arrive
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!I've got all my bits for the front end conversion
Well almost, I forgot to order a crown race and brake cables, I assumed a cable would come with the BB7's - but no. Calliper and rotor alignment doesn't look to be an issue either. Should be altogether this weekend ready for next Mondays commute! I have some pics of the fork camparo if you want? There's an obvious change in trail and other geometry, so i'm wondering how sloppy the handling will get...
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!
Pics would be great The BB7 and G2 rotor arrived today Just waiting on the spokes from Starbike (they left 2 days ago) and the headset from Wiggle. I too found that the cable didn't come, so that will come from the LBS
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Looking good there. Paint matches well Thanks for the pics.
Welding on rear mount - not sure about that one. Def can't do it on mine The main issue is that the rear stay was never (big assumption here) designed for rear disc, but if you can make it one that uses both seat and rear stay, then that would be better, and go with a 140mm disc ? Similar style to this from Fixie Inc 2011 I'd be interested to see what your thoughts are on the handling side. Are you chnaging your stem to get the same end height to counteract the extra fork length ? BTW, installing the headset bearing on the fork, do you need a press to do that ? Or does it just need a bit of 'gentle persuasion' and care .... Cheers Michael B
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Provided the fork doesnt flex too much a front disc brake makes sense though I have found mtbike brake levers + pads increase the braking power of road brakes considerably+ have them on my straight bar commuter.
One of my mtbikes has a BB7- the pads squeal a bit when new. Ewen Gellie has a front + rear disc brake road bike on his web site. He braced the left fork to stiffen it.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Actually managed to achieve something today
Tokk the fork to tyhe LBS to get the lower race fitted & purchased the brake cable housing and cable. Took the opportunity to put the disc on the hub, and align the caliper to this disc. Looks pretty sweet I must say. Can't wait to get the forks on the bike and the spokes in the mail.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!My front conversion is done, having issues with road lever cable slackness, they don't grab so well and don't pull you up incredibly well if you want to stop on a dime.
Alignment is great, no issues there. I can get the pads spot on. But when you try to reduce the cable slack to improve lever reaction, the pads will move and start rubbing? Catch 22.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Like car disc brakes when new, they need to be bedded in. Until you see a darker continuous strip around the disk on both sides, you're not there yet. You will know it when you are as IMO they will have more retardation leverage or braking power than road calipers eventually. I didn't have this problem as I have the linear pull version. However you are probably better off having them a bit loose as you probably have more hand strength closer to the bar. I also prefer the cable to be looser than the disc to rub. Things will take time to settle, stretch and bed-in. Even then you'll probably find they need adjusting fairly regularly as your skewer loosens or something moves slightly. The tolerances are a lot tighter than a road caliper. I find I'm adjusting my MTB every few rides. Not everything is wonderful about the BB7, but the most important thing is definitely there. When you need to stop fast, it won't let you down in any weather (once bedded in). If you want to fast track the bedding-in process, find a big hill and do some emergency stops on the way down (but don't come to a complete stop, same as car brake bedding-in). The pads may become a bit too sticky and noisy after this, but it should soon settle down.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!You shouldn't be adjusting the pad position using the cable tension because the torque arm has limited movement and you don't want to use it up. Take up the cable slack with the barrel adjuster then use the adjustment dials to get the pads into position.
I've run into much the same problem with my BB7s - they either rub or the levers don't feel right because of the extra travel. I suggest checking your rotors are true and still allowing for a small amount of rotor rub.
Re: Adding a front disc to a road bike !!Does Shimano STI have a barrel adjuster? My Cane Creek V brake drop bar levers don't.

Vanishing White Matter (VWM) disease is a devastating condition that destroys the brain's white matter. This white matter protects the axons of neurons, and leads to seizures and the progressive loss of motor function, eyesight, and speech. Also known as Childhood Ataxia with Central Nervous System Hypomyelination (CACH), the disease has no cure, and victims do not typically live longer than the early teens.
Marisol passed away from the disease in 2008, but her DNA pattern and specific genetic mutation were the basis for Prof. Elroy-Stein's breakthrough development of the first population of laboratory mice — called "Marisol's mice" — with a VWM disease mutation. With this invaluable biological tool in place, researchers have been able to make important progress into understanding how the disease functions.
Through these mice, the researchers were able to discover that VWM disease was in essence a developmental disorder — the mutation causes delayed development of the myelin that forms after birth, they reported in the journal Brain. The researchers' most recent findings, published in the journal PLoS One, add to this understanding.

Most people might see cockroaches as good-for-nothing pests, but this germ-ridden insect could be an indirect source of new antibiotics for humans. Cockroaches host the larvae of a parasitic type of wasp, which spend their formative days eating the bacteria-laden body of the cockroach from the inside out. Researchers have discovered the wasp larva secretes chemicals that sanitize the decidedly unsanitary guts of the cockroach. These germ-killing chemicals could eventually be developed for human uses.

A team at Ohio State University's Comprehensive Cancer Center is one step closer to that reality, after its fat-burning shot eliminated 20 percent of belly fat in lab mice over an 80-day period in a recent study.

Before the advent of refrigeration, Russians had a neat trick for keeping their milk from spoiling. They'd drop a live frog in the milk bucket.
The Russians weren't sure how this amphibian dairy treatment worked, but they were convinced it did.
Since then, researchers have discovered that the goo some frogs secrete through their skin has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
One group of scientists led by a Russian chemist is trying to break down this frog goo at a molecular level. The researchers have found compounds they hope will lead to new medicines.

AL Central champion Tigers to wrap up in Miami
Detroit still looking to secure home-field advantage in postseason
The Tigers clinched their third consecutive American League Central title after beating the Twins 1-0 on Wednesday, but they are one game behind the A's to earn home-field advantage in the AL Division Series. In the last series of the year, Detroit will face the Marlins for the first time since 2004 on Friday.
Rookie left-hander Jose Alvarez will take the mound for the Tigers in what will be his sixth Major League start. Rick Porcello was originally scheduled to make a final tuneup start before the playoffs, but Detroit switched to Alvarez on Friday morning.
Alvarez, 24, filled in for Anibal Sanchez when Sanchez was battling injuries in June. Alvarez threw six innings of one-run ball in his Major League debut on June 9. He made four more starts, losing three of them, before going to the bullpen.
Tom Koehler will toe the rubber for the Marlins in his final start of the season. In his last outing, he gave up two runs on three hits and a walk in six innings. As he fights to get into Miami's 2014 plans as either a starter or reliever, he enjoys facing playoff teams.
"We talked about that earlier when we got here, that we were going to play teams down the stretch that are trying to get in the playoffs or are in the playoffs," Koehler said. "This is a good experience for us. Obviously, we're not in it. But to get to play against teams who are playing for something, that means something. It's good, because we're going against guys who are really locked in."
Mike Redmond will also finish out his first season as a manager against the man who was his first MLB manager, Jim Leyland. Redmond made his debut with the Marlins in 1998, when they lost 108 games.
"Jim Leyland had a huge impact in my playing career," Redmond said. "I was a guy who wasn't expected to get to the big leagues. He showed a lot of faith in me and played me, when people said, 'You don't have to play this guy. You can just sit him on the bench.' But he found a role for me. He played me against lefties, and he got me comfortable playing in the big leagues.
"He believed in me. I ended up playing 13 years in the big leagues, and having the career that I did. He got me started in all of that. He's given me a lot of great advice throughout the years, and I have so much respect for him as a manager."
Tigers: Peralta will return
Jhonny Peralta will rejoin the Tigers after his 50-game suspension ends for his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal. Team president/general manager Dave Dombrowski said the displaced shortstop turned left-field candidate will be activated to the 40-man roster on Thursday.
"He's worked hard, eager to get back," Dombrowski said. "The team has been receptive to him coming back, and we think it's best for the ball club to give him the opportunity."
Dombrowski said Peralta's place on the postseason roster has yet to be decided. Peralta, who hit .305 with 11 home runs and 54 RBIs in 104 games before the suspension, has spent the past week or so working out in left field with the Tigers' instructional league team in Florida.
"I think we just have to have a comfort zone that he can perform out there," Dombrowski said. "And even if he can't perform out there as much as you'd like, does he still make you better going into the postseason with him on your roster, depending on how everything shapes up? And those are not discussions for today."
• Bruce Rondon is suffering from right-elbow discomfort after pitching a scoreless inning on Tuesday, in the same area that held him out for two weeks earlier this month.
"He came in today with some complaints of discomfort in his elbow, similar to what he had in Boston," head athletic trainer Kevin Rand said. "It's hard to determine at this point if it's to that point, so we're just going to treat him today, try to get it quieted down and re-evaluate it."
Marlins: Mathis sits with bruised thumb
Jeff Mathis told Redmond that his bruised right thumb was bothering him once again after sustaining the injury on Sept. 9, which forced him to miss seven games.
"Hopefully, it's just a one-day thing or two-day thing," Redmond said.
Mathis is 1-for-23 in seven games since the injury. Koyie Hill filled in for Mathis on Wednesday, and the Marlins also have Rob Brantly as an option to catch if Mathis misses more time.
Worth noting
• Juan Pierre is 7-for-18 (.389) with one home run and five RBIs in his career against Porcello.
• Leyland has 700 wins as manager of the Tigers, becoming the third manager in franchise history to earn as many wins. Only Sparky Anderson (1,331 wins) and Hughie Jennings (1,131 wins) had more. This is Leyland's eighth season in Detroit.
Friday: LHP Jose Alvarez (1-4, 5.50 ERA) vs. RHP Tom Koehler (4-10, 4.45 ERA)
Saturday: RHP Anibal Sanchez (14-8, 2.64 ERA) vs. RHP Nathan Eovaldi (4-6, 3.50 ERA)
Sunday: RHP Justin Verlander (13-12, 3.56 ERA) vs. RHP Henderson Alvarez (4-6, 3.94 ERA)

Beck to destroy an Occupation-manned energy drill which had been causing power blackouts in Argon City before its destructive power could destabilize the Grid. Meanwhile, Zed had been convinced by Bartik and Hopper to enter his custom light light cycle in the Argon Race, which was to take place in the tunnels below the drill-site. Upon realizing that the drill's destruction would mean his best friend and multiple other programs meeting their doom in the tunnels, Beck, in his guise as the Renegade, blocked the race route to stop them, but was forced to steal Zed's bike to pursue Paige when she learned of the plot against the drill.

Previous Loan Details

About the Association or Rural Development
The Association for Rural Development (ARD) is one of the leading microfinance institutions in Sierra Leone. Established in 1989, ARD has offered individual and group loans to support small-scale businesses across the country for two decades. You can learn more about ARD on its partner profile page, support the organization and its staff by joining the ARD lending team, or lend to another one of its borrowers currently raising funds on Kiva.Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

I can handle complicated. I can chew for hours on ideas that are tough and wiggly and mysterious, and arrive at no final conclusion whatsoever. I can sleep on it and wake up with nothing but songs and dreams in my head that will color the day with glimpses of what might be possible. I don't need to hammer the challenging and mysterious into a mold I can easily grasp so I can feel more comfortable in the world, believing it is fixed. So I can stop asking questions. So I can say, I have the answer.
But one thing I do know?

A member of the criminal blue shirt gangs that are hired by corrupt politicians to control and terrorize the people. They are usually seen wearing blue gang colors and carrying guns that they use to threaten drivers whom they are robbing on streets and highways to fill treasuries of corrupt politicians. Blue gun thugs are heavily engaged in the drug business and the destruction of fathers and families. Sometimes they wear brown shirts like Mussolini's secret police.
Since 9-11-01 the blue gun thugs have killed more Americans than Al-Queda, the Iraq War, and the Afghanistan War combined.

The scientific theory of evolution does not claim that currently existing species have evolved from each other. Rather, the claim is that species today evolved from common ancestors.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
It is one thing to say that death is primordial; it is another to view it as the central means of creation. The theological uneasiness about this issue ultimately rests not just on an understanding of God's creative activity, but also on a particular representation of evolution.

Good luck getting it through the rollers.
Better idea: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca..._Basic+Markers
which is valid. Inkjets can print to things lasers cannot. However i strongly suggest a laser printer if you have the use and money. It would prolly pay for itself if you used it enough.
Good luck getting it through the rollers.
Better idea: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca..._Basic+Markers
This is total nonsense. Both systems have advantages.
Laser is like a typography, it rollouts and goes, and goes and goes. It has high operating costs, but low per-page. They are champions for details, but not for juicy looks. Its noisy, its tonor is scientifically confirmed to cause cancer.
Inkjets are like painters. Their ink may be nondistiguishable to laser in b/w prints. Their per-page costs are higher. But they are unmatched when it comes to photography and paint work. They are much better then laser only exception being high professional systems that are used at document printing(money etc), but they cost a lot and require personel to operate. Modern inks are very resistant to rupture and UV, dry fast, print very accurately. However you also need special paper for best results, but same also applies to color laser printers afaik, the paper should be able to handle the ink amounts correctly.
And when you want pure b/w system with lowest running cost, nothing beats dot-matrix printers. But they slowly die-out due to noise and low speed.
When speaking of inkjet technology, you should also know that there are systems which have ink containter and printing head integrated and sold as one unit AND systems that have separated ink container and printing head.
The first one catridge unit cost is higher, because you also buy new printhead integrated; but this also means your prints will be of higher quality and when purchasing HIGH capacity ink containers (like HP XL catriges with 900 pages cap.) it is actually pretty ok. Integrated head system also has an advantage that it does not need to clean its heads, it simply seals them when unused, which means it needs 30 seconds warmup before each print, but it never needs to recalibrate and clean the head like the ones discussed later. If you want cheap printing with printers deploying this technology, your best bet is using high capacity catridges or refilling the ink head with quality ink(like pelikan). HP uses this.
The other technology, ie using separated ink and head, makes ink cost cheaper. Theoretically. The disadvantage is that you are using the old head with new ink and will probably need to replace it sometime when it starts to make *fun*. Heads are usually by far not cheap, when sold separately. Additinally ink head needs to clean itself, which takes place once per week or so, lasts 15-30 minutes(!) AND ink is consumed during this process. You can also refill and use alternative ink with this system. Brother and Kodak use this.
The last thing to know is either the color system uses integrated 3/4-in-one color catridge or color catridge is separated into individual parts. Integrated is seen in cheap systems and it not good. Officially you have to throw away the color catrige if only ONE color is used up. This can be seen as a rip-off but nearly all manufacturers do this. Unofficially you can refill the catridges. More advanced systems use separated CMY containers, all refillable.
You should not confuse rip-off systems with inkjets. There were dot-matrix rip-offs, even laser ripoffs exist with toner costs reaching the sky. There are a lot of smart-ass manufacturers that do everything so you pay more, inkjet is no exception. The biggest loosers are Lexmark(german Stiftung Warentest has estimated one model to produce color prints with cost of 3 PER COLOR PAGE!). While lexmark uses integrated head; Brother, while selling ink separately from heads, is also not by far the cheapest. Epson is known to simply use up too much ink. HP is known to do this long ago with its entry level models.
Yesterday I had purchased TWO Kodak AIO 5250 only to discover its totally unsupported on linux. And the sales agent ensured me it would be all fine... Nothing on CD, on Web and nothing good from customer support. While they did support some scanners for linux(half arsed I might add, not SANE, but TWAIN), they totally unwilling to introduce ANY Linux drivers. Luckily the local market(Saturn in Germany) I got them from has taken them back, even after I have unpackaged them(well. I didnt know at all). So far Im going for two B209a from HP today.
This is a summary what I have discovered about linux printing for normal poor people(50-150$). Im mostly talking about all-in-one inkjets here:
Brother - opensource drivers, HIGH ink costs, uses up ink quickly, ink catriges mostly separated from heads(2), BAD image drawing quality, some report colors vapor-out(brighten) after some time, GOOD text printing, SLOW printing speed. Good printers for office if you refill or use alternative ink. Never use for photo works.
HP - opensource gods, drivers with exceptional support, HIGH ink costs if using normal catridges, LOW to MODERATE ink cost if using XL catridges or refilling the ink, ink catridges mostly have integrated heads(1), EXCEPTIONAL quality image drawing even on normal quality paper, GOOD text printing, FAST printing speed. Good printers if you dont buy lowest market segment ones(or read reviews before) - they consume more and known for bugs with paper feeder.
Epson - ?? Heard consume too much ink, quality comparable to HP, not linux friendly(available, but binary drivers?)
Samsung - once opensource, not nearly dropped linux support. Drivers still accessible, but are binary. Thats all I know.
Kodak - no drivers. I still managed to print one page via scanner function. LOW ink cost, but 3-in-1 catridges. Not very known, hence didnt find any alternative ink. Ink catridge is separated from printing head(1). OK quality image printing. At least it falls behind HP on non-professional paper and nears it on professional photo-paper. This maybe the reason they are a bit more economical to HP XL catridges. Virtually absent customer support, or more exactly their IQ level. Stupid paper-feed. Ink is very resistant to damage. Prints quickly. Overpriced unit.
Lexmark - crappy drivers, binary-only. HIGH to INSANE ink costs, however refill variants are much cheaper and accessible. Should I continue?
Canon - binary drivers. By far not all models supported. I personally had to "fight" three(3) days over Cannon 2900 Laser printer. This is not a driver quality I expect. Low to medium ink costs, very comparable to HP XL catridges. EXCEPTIONAL quality image printing, however some report ink to be of low resistance against UV and rupture. Refillable. Units are a bit better priced than HP.
Hope it helps someone.
There are also CISS system, which means infite ink from external container. Lookup "CISS b109a" on youtube. Usually only acceptable when printing large amounts of photography.
I just want to bump this to say that this didn't help anyone and not me, the OP.
I want to object to HP as the 'opensource' Gods. I'm really sick and tired of Linux users praising so-called opensource companies as they're above everyone. ATI, HP, are crap companies with inferior support and subpar products. HP, especially, is garbage. Their product quality has gone into the toilet. I really don't give a damn about open source if the product is a piece of garbage. If the product is not usable, then it can be fully open source, it doesn't matter. This is common sense but praising an inferior product with poor support is not praiseworthy.
I will be boycotting these companies from now on.
I have two B209A from HP. Im using 3.9 hplip, cups and sane.
Everything WORKS. Scanning is good and fast. I can set all options in Xsane. Printing works awesomely - papertrays, quality, paper sort - all works. ZERO problems. I have no idea what you are talking about, bro. The install was quick and easy on gentoo.
I have scanned A4 pages with 1200dpi and successfully printed them (2Gb ram usage in gimp btw). Quick and painless.
Two years ago I had overnight fight with Canon LBP2900(I think), bw laserjet. I have given up. I had to write udev rules to bring up proprietary ps2proprietary blob converter, that consumed all cpu resources even on simple text pages.
If you wish I can send you proof photos.
Yeah, I respect HP. AMD, yes, maybe they suck in two points:
- slow progress
- little force behind their opensource attempt
But I still hate nvidia. Most of the time it works, but when it breaks no one is to help you. And they deviate Xorg, make it their way, drop support whenever they want it(I have 10 gf4 cards lying around, as well as first ever radeon(R100)).
So I respect AMD and HP way more than nvidia or canon.
Forget this, topic is so old, I forgot you were the topic starter.
Lets see how its better to go shopping in modern world.
Study here: http://www.amazon.com/HP-PhotoSmart-...8714544&sr=8-1
And here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...scrollFullInfo
You will read about possible paper jam, that is clear the engineering problem. I wont buy it.
If you printer fails to align, there is something really really bad happend to head positioning mechanism. Mine aligned instantly and I have already done it several times.
The thing with HP printers where they require time to start up, which is often criticized, is because of the way they handle the necessary head cleaning. They park it every time they go off and they clean it every time on start. It takes time(15-20 secs). They produce sounds, yes. But then it is set to print. Others dont do it, they just park/unpark heads without cleaning. Then they start running 20 minutes cleaning cycle every week. And if they miss it, there is high probability ink dries up in the head. I prefer the HP way.
I bought a cheap HP Deskjet D1600, plugged it in, installed hplip, and it "just worked" on Kubuntu 10.10 (I haven't tried it on my main Debian system because I don't want to install a bunch of printing crap on it when I rarely print stuff).
I finally was able get gutenprint works in Gimp. I have a HP Office Jet pro L7680 and now I can print photos directly from Gimp. On the other hand, the cute Photoprint does not support my printer yet.

For the writing minor, you take a total of eight writing courses:
Visit the course catalog for a list of classes offered in the writing department. Here are the writing minor worksheets:
Students taking writing courses in a minor may explore a wide variety of disciplines and match these with their majors. For example, a writing minor could be paired with any number of majors to help students communicate effectively in any discipline. In the picture below, students conduct usability testing on a client website in a technical writing course. Students then composed a usability report and submitted the document to their clients to help improve the clients' websites. In this way, students gain valuable experience working outside the classroom on projects that they may encounter in graduate school or on the job.

First Appearance
Sentry #1
Years later, Robert's memories slowly returned along with the Void, who rampaged across Europe, murdering many members of the Super-Heroes of Europe (SHE). The Sentry contacted his former colleagues, but the only one who recalled their shared history was the Hulk. As the Void returned to Manhattan, the pieces began to fall in place and the Sentry's former friends assembled to defend him and the city. Remembering the dual nature of Robert's powers, Sentry and Reed Richards reactivated the Watchtower, dispelling the Void and making the world forget the Sentry once again; however, Robert's memories of the Sentry soon returned, and he demanded to be placed on the Raft, S.H.I.E.L.D.' high-security prison for super-villains, claiming that he had killed his wife. During a mass breakout at the Raft, Sentry helped several other heroes subdue many of the escaping villains - notably Carnage, whom Sentry ripped in half. Inspired by this adventure, the other heroes soon formed the new Avengers, but Sentry vanished before they could invite him to join them. The Sentry stayed in hiding, but remained a person of great interest to S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, who were both fascinated by his powers and worried that they may lead to another Scarlet Witch situation.
Eventually, S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers confronted the Sentry with several disturbing facts: The wife he claimed to have killed was alive, and the only reference in the world that could be found of the Sentry was in comic books, stories invented and written down by the imagination of a man. Unable to face these shocking events, the Sentry fled. Resurfacing as Robert Reynolds at his home, the Sentry was again confronted by the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D., along with the Inhumans and the X-Men. He cried, saying that he had warned them of the Void's coming and that it was now too late. The group was suddenly attacked by the Void. Robert, along with the help of Emma Frost, discovered that the reason no one remembered him was not because of his own attempts to erase the Void, but because of the intervention and manipulation of his mind. Mastermind, hired by the General, had used the great mental powers the Sentry needed to contain his abilities to force everyone (himself included) to forget of the Sentry's existence. Should the Sentry ever remember his life, then he would be struck by a fear of the devil attacking the world, hence the Void. With this new found knowledge, the Void disappeared, and Emma Frost resurrected the Sentry. The Avengers offered him membership, partly to keep an eye on him and partly because they would need his power, which he accepted.The Sentry believed that the Void was trapped in the basement of the Watchtower. When he routinely visited him to make sure he was secure, the Void claimed he knew something the Sentry didn't. Robert believed his wife was cheating on him and that she didn't love him. As his psychiatrist, Doctor Cornelius, tried to probe Robert with questions about his origin and about the Void, Robert grew hysterical and attacked an amusement park. There, it was revealed that-- as opposed to what was commonly believed, that Robert Reynolds was the Sentry and the Void was a separate being-- that it was the Sentry who was the separate entity, and Robert who was the Void. The Void fled, and the Sentry explained to Doctor Cornelius that Robert had been bullied as a child.
Hoping to get high, Robert stole the Professor's secret formula and drank it. Instantly, Robert became the Void and the Sentry was created. The Sentry confronted Doctor Strange, who told him not to approach the facility where he had stolen the serum. The Sentry did, where he suddenly seemed to wake up in a straight jacket, in a mental institute. He was told that his real name was John Williams, and that he had killed Lindy Reynolds. It was explained that he was crazy, that he had killed Lindy because his 'alarm clock' told him to. Robert believed this, until he realised that there was a ring mark on his finger where he had had his wedding ring. Breaking free from the illusion, the Sentry found that the Professor and Doctor Strange had been trying to keep the secret the Void knew from the Sentry through controlling him. Seeking out the Void, the Sentry discovered the secret: The secret serum that had granted the Sentry his powers would have worked on anyone. The Void argued that the world had enough trouble with one Sentry and one Void saving and killing people; it didn't need six and half billion more. Understanding everything, the Sentry hurled the Void into the sun. The Void warned Sentry that he would return, and when he did, he would kill everyone. The Sentry returned home to the Avengers.

(And if you haven't, please take a moment to feel chastised: why haven't you? Go. Take a moment to get some eggs out of the fridge -now- so they can come up to temperature. Then come back here. I'll wait.)
Souffle. Beaten eggs. Sugar. Milk? Chocolate? What's your flavor of choice? A cheddar bottom crust? A ganache syrup overlay? A good souffle is divine. A work of art. A gift to the palate. A feat of execution.
But a bad souffle...a bad souffle is tragic. A missed opportunity. A disappointment. A mere shadow of greatness that could have been, or maybe that just moments ago was.
Have you ever ruined a souffle?
Maybe the oven door was opened. Maybe you didn't beat your eggs vigorously. Maybe you underbaked, and the cold air shocked the warm crust. Maybe you overbaked, and all your air bubbles popped. Maybe you needed to contemplate a fallen crust.
All that magic, all that drama, all that warm, crackly dome. All that anticipation.
Sunken into the bottom of the ramekin. Deflated. Saggy, maybe soggy. Over.
Hold that image in your mind, and now let's rearrange some elements.
That cute earthenware ramekin? Switch it out for our beloved, dumpy beige couch. That deflated, inverted, floppy, uneven, past-potential skin?
That's what my post-partum belly looks like right now.
For the candor? The imagery? You're welcome.
