My wife and I never have time for movies any more. Between work and the kids we just find enough time to eat, sleep and sometimes get dressed.
Our thing is we love shows. We like movies, TV shows, documentaries. You name it. We finally bit the bullet and got Netflix. I think we pay like $9.99/month or something like that.
So far I have been pleasantly surprised by how well the service works. For our priced package we can have unlimited movies per month, but you can only have one in your possession at a time. You can go online and fill up your "queue" and the movies just show up in your mailbox. Once you are done you drop it back in the provided envelope and drop it back in your mailbox. A few days later whatever movie is next in your queue arrives. You keep them as long as you like. You just won't get another movie until you return that one.
Beyond the DVDs, also included in the price is access to watch movies and shows online through your computer (or in our case, we use our iPad or iPhone). Not all movies are available to watch online, but they have a decent selection. New stuff seems to only be mail-order disc, but they have a pretty decent catalog of older movies & shows. We can pull up a cartoon for our kids at anytime/anywhere. It lets you stream up to 2 movies/shows at one time, so sometimes I will be watching something downstairs and my wife will have a show on with the kids upstairs. It also remembers where you left off in a movie if you leave or close it down. Next time you pull up the Netflix app on your iPad you can just start up where you left off. Pretty cool.
If you spend any amount of money at brick and mortar movie rental shops I would recommend looking into Netflix. Saves you so many last minute trips to return a late movie. You only need to walk out to your mailbox. =)
INTERNET, MISSOURI -- Below is my chat conversation with Netflix customer service (you can only contact them through chat or phone, no email). There is nothing in the FAQ about this being how the subscriptions work (I checked, read, searched etc before redeeming.... just had a bad hunch it was going to be something like this). Just wanted to put this out there. If Netflix is going to do this it should be written and made plan and obvious- not only something the customer learns about after the fact.
Just wanted the fact of this out there, so others were aware if they found themselves facing a similar situation. Nearly $100 potentially wasted depending on how long my house takes to sell.
Also, the fact that Netflix has no real customer service should be noted. All Cheryl did was say how the system worked, tell me there was no one else I was allowed to talk to or who could contact me except her supervisor that she could 'Transfer me To' who could tell me no more anyway, and she never offered a solution except... sorry to see you go. That's unbelievably awful customer service. Even without the issue of wasting the money spent on my gift this customer service set up would make it unlikely I would ever consider using Netflix again. There are plenty of possible solutions for this sort of situation, that Netflix has chosen to just go the route of, if it's messed up its messed up don't let the door hit you on the way out- is appalling.
Netflix Cheryl: Hello my name is Cheryl, is this Trevor?
You: Hello, I received a gift subscription I added to my account, but was hoping I could have it paused.
You: Yes, Trevor.
You: We are in the process of selling our house and not there at the moment, so it would be wasted
2 minutes pass
You: Hello?
Netflix Cheryl: Hey! Nice to meet you! Let me double check on that for you.
You: Thank you.
3 Minutes pass
Netflix Cheryl: Okay so since the gift has been redeemed all at one time there isn't a way to pause it. Pretty weird if you ask me, if you have a phone that has Netflix you can still watch there, I know it isn't quite the same, but there are cords that will connect certain phones to your TV if you wanted to look into that temporarily.
You: We are at my in laws who already have Netflix, so really this just means it's being wasted. Is there anyone else who might be able to place the account on hold. Surely there are other times a subscription has been needed to be placed on hold. Seems more than weird that the option is not there at all.
Netflix Cheryl: There isn't our system is automated, once you redeem the gift it just keeps being used up. I totally agree that it is weird, the gifts are tricky sometimes. I checked with a few people higher up then me and that is just a bug we haven't been able to fix yet.
You: The account itself cannot be placed on hold?
3 Minutes Pass
Netflix Cheryl: I can transfer you to my supervisor if you would like, he will tell you the same thing though.
Netflix Cheryl: With the gift subscriptions you can cancel to hold your account but it will continue to use, since technically when you redeemed the gift it was for the entire year so basically you paid for the year already so your streaming goes for a year, there isn't a way to stop it.
You: If your supervisor cannot help I would like the email for his supervisor. I would like to inform them that because they insist on wasting the money spent on our gift for a year we will not be spending any money with them again.
You: That is just bad business practice, it's not a bug, it's simple coding to be able to just hault an account. That is done on purpose for obvious reasons. Bad business.
You: Thank you for your help Cheryl
2 Minutes Pass
Netflix Cheryl: I don't have anything like that, we are the customer service so we take all complaints and then send them up to our tech team that runs the site. I totally agree with you and I will send this up to them. I am not sure how all that stuff works I don't make websites so I am not sure how much goes into making a large change like that.
You: It's not a large change to simple place a stop on an account, every other business in the world does so for subscriptions. There is always someone higher up. If your supervisor doesn't have answers then there is someone else I need to talk to.\
2 Minutes Pass
Netflix Cheryl: Yes but if we do it for you, then we have to change the entire way our system is set up for everyone. It really isn't that simple. I personally do not have any information. I have one person higher than me then our tech team they do not have an email or number all complaints go through the representatives.
You: Can you have them call me?
You: The system should be changed if that is the case, but I still disagree that would be the case.
You: It sounds more like a decision that was made, that Netflix decided since the someone else paid for the subscription the recipient probably wouldn't be too put out if they wasted it if extenuating circumstances came up. I also checked your faq before redeeming, no where did it say that this would be the case. Had it I would not have redeemed.
3 Minutes Pass
Netflix Cheryl: I totally agree that it should be changed. I am not able to take any personal information over the chat due to privacy policies. I can promise you that we do not want waste your money we are a company that strives on giving everyone the best service, this is how our billing is set up. I totally am on your side on this and if there was a way for me to put your account on hold I totally would, I do not like having upset customers. I will let them know that the FAQ should be more concrete on what is allowed and what isn't trust me I want to help you we don't want to see you go over this.
You: So how can you help? This will be a deal breaker for me. That's quite a lot of money that is potentially just down the drain depending on how long it takes my house to sell. The faq is not just not concrete, it says nothing about the fact that the account cannot be held, and since you can hold your account otherwise (as we already had) there was no reason to believe this would be different. That is not just not concrete, that is suspiciously incomplete on the topic for something that it's obvious a customer will assume works the way the site normally works.
3 Minutes Pass
Netflix Cheryl: It is JUST on the gift, if you had a card used every month we could hold it but even then, lets say you pay on the 13th and then you want to cancel on the 25th, because you paid your streaming will still continue, same here you have paid for a year so even if you cancel your streaming will continue. We want NON STOP service for all customers, it is inconveinent in some isnstances such as this one I agree I would be just as upset. I really want to help, if I could but in this situation there is no way to pause your streaming and hold your account. The only reason accounts go on hold is for nonpayment. That is it. I totally understand you wanting to leave because of this I wish I could change your mind but if this is the deal breaker I am not too sure what else to do, honestly there ins't a way to do that. I will let our tech team know that we NEED to update this feature.
As you see there is no actual customer service at work here. Just- yeah it's messed up, yeah we should change that, I understand, don't let the door hit you on the way out. No solution offered. No way to talk to anyone or have anyone contact you who could help. Just an unbelievably bad customer service set up. That alone would make me steer clear. Just wanted to put that out there. Hopefully Netflix will at least update their faq, but I rather feel that this is a big thing to have left out on accident.
LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA -- I have been a member of Netflix before after starting one of the free trials and continuing on as a regular member. However, until recently, I did not have an active membership. I received an email that allowed me to get another free trial as a returning customer. I immediately jumped at the chance because I love being able to watch movies online. However, I found that I had pending charges for the streaming plan 2 days later. I immediately contacted Netflix and talked to CSR on the live chat and she told me that the charges were "pre-authorization" and had been reversed. I kept an eye on my account to make sure the pending charges were deleted, but they changed to actual charges. I went to live chat again and the new CSR did some research for me and found that I was, indeed, charged by their system for the free trial. She reversed the charges manually and my bank account was credited 2 days later. This was very worrying to me because I only started the free trial to use Netflix for a month and then I plan to cancel it. If you get one of those free trial offers, make sure to keep an eye out so you don't get charged!
INTERNET, FLORIDA -- I have used both Netflix for both DVD and live streaming. I never had both streaming and DVD service at the same time. However, when I cancelled DVD service in August 2013, my account was billed for streaming through the end of November. I called customer service and they told me they would only refund me for one month of service ($8.62). I told "Bill" in customer service that I haven't streamed anything from August '13 through the end of Nov. '13. He said, we don't keep track of streaming.
So, I am out $25.86! Watch your bank statements! They, Netflix, will continue to charge your account, WITHOUT your consent!
Signed, Kieran J. O'Hagan (Panama City Beach, FL).
I registered for the one month free trial back in February and proceeded to login on the smart TV. The movies didn't work, the streaming was terrible, within 5 minutes the selected showing froze. I proceeded to cancel my account online [and little to my knowledge... you are supposed to receive a confirmation email]. As far as I was concerned my account was terminated.
We are now in July and my account has continually been charged every month. I called Netflix and spoke with customer service who confirmed there was no activity on my account and that this miscommunication when cancelling the account online is common. I was credited back July and told there would be no problem crediting back the other 4 months but that he needed to transfer me to corporate in terms to do so. Upon speaking with corporate I was told nothing could be done that they see activity on the account for March. When I asked them to state for me what the activity was and to send me a record they refused to do so. As a customer I am entitled to this information, especially because I never used the account.
How can customer service see no activity but corporate office state something different and not be able to back it up with facts?! What kind of customer service is that? At this point I don't even care about the money they basically are scamming from me but I want to make people aware that this company is unreliable and not reputable.
Yesterday I decided to temporarily suspend Netflix since my wife and I will be gone for at least 3 months off and on for the next 5 months or so. I suspended my account and received an e-mail from Netflix stating that we can watch their service until October 26th when my current subscription runs out. The e-mail also stated they would hold my current programs in the menu until I restarted their service. Last night my wife and I were going to watch a movie and low and behold, they went ahead and stopped the service immediately. Since I was paid until the 26th it only shows their contempt for their customers. It was Netflix that stated they will continue to allow us to view programs until the current subscription runs out. Needless to say, we won't be returning to them after the holidays.
CALIFORNIA -- I have been a Netflix member for over 10 years. In the previous 9 1/2 years I have received excellent service and recommended several customers to their service. (about 20 or 30 have joined Nertflix) No More!
In the last 2-3 months they have put all the new release movies on very long wait status even though I had the release at the top of my queue when released. I have been complaining to them during the past week. Today I talked to a supervisor who accused me of trying to get a free DVD because I pointed out to her that their policy used to be when they messed up they would send an extra movie to make up for their mistake. I wasn't asking for anything, just pointing it out. Rude, very rude!
She ended up hanging up on me saying I wasn't listening to her when the fact is she wasn't listening to me. Netflix is obviously experiencing financial difficulties and is trying different procedures to save money. Why don't they just tell the truth instead of making up lies? (I owned Netflix stock for several years because of their excellent customer service. I would not recommend the stock or the service to anyone at this point!)
Netflix announces that it is splitting its unlimited DVD and Streaming services and somehow believes that they've lowered costs to its customers in the process? These people are smoking something again! My subscription began at $13.99 when I started as a Netflix customer and it has continued to increase every 6 months while I've seen tools, features and availability of movies decrease significantly. After the latest price increase, I would be paying $23.98. I say "would" because this is the 4th price increase and I believe my last to enjoy. They've also been notorious for providing tools and features, such as allowing people to see member reviews for helping to select movies, and them taking them away. Movie selection is through a ridiculous process whereby they attempt to make the selection process of equal fairness to paying customers at every level, but instead, through a ridiculous and not very well thought out movie selection and delivery scheme, they end up frustrating everyone by causing people to wait several months to receive a single movie title. Yes, the movies from 1970 and before, which predominaitely make up the streaming movie list, are available without much delay. Some of the new encryption technologies that they use on DVDs has been unplayable on my Bose Surround system and after updating the streaming movie selection by adding a "guide", streaming movies now stop and start continuously during movie playback. I have numerous friends who agree and have experienced this same issue but it's been going on for more than a year without acknowledgement from Netflix. Customer service is only available by telephone and they are not capable of handling technical issues. They are there mainly for moral support. This is by far the most frustrating, poorly managed, customer service running on auto-pilot company you will EVER come across. Hopefully, they will have some direct competition and these ridiculous price increases and monopoly they enjoy now will be smashed right back in their faces for how they've taken advantage of their community.
LOS GATOS, Calif., July 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Netflix Inc. (Nasdaq:NFLX - News) announced today it is launching new unlimited DVD-only plans in the U.S. at their lowest price ever– only $7.99 a month for the 1 DVD out at-a-time plan and $11.99 a month for the 2 DVDs out at-a-time plan.
New members can sign up for these plans by going to DVD. Netflix.com.
Netflix also announced it is separating its unlimited streaming and unlimited DVD plans in the U.S. to better reflect the costs of each and to give members a choice: a streaming-only plan, a DVD-only plan or the option to subscribe to both.
With this change, Netflix will no longer be offering unlimited plans that include both streaming and DVDs by mail. The unlimited streaming plan will remain at $7.99 a month. The price for getting both unlimited streaming and unlimited DVDs will be $15.98 a month ($7.99 + $7.99).
For new Netflix members, the changes will be effective immediately. For existing members, the new pricing will start for charges on or after September 1.
"Netflix members love watching instantly, but we've come to recognize there is still a very large continuing demand for DVDs by mail," said Andy Rendich, Netflix Chief Service and Operations Officer. "By better reflecting the underlying costs and offering our lowest prices ever for unlimited DVD, we hope to provide a great value to our current and future DVD-by-mail members."
Netflix introduced streaming to its popular DVD-by-mail business in 2007. Since then, membership has climbed from 6 million to 23 million in the U.S. as people have embraced the idea of watching instantly an ever-expanding library of movies and TV shows on the hundreds of consumer electronics devices capable of streaming movies and TV shows from Netflix right to members' TVs.
LOS GATOS, CALIFORNIA -- I have been a loyal customer and evangelist for Netflix for years. I was happy to take the stress of returning movies "on time" out of my life, even though I ended up paying more for Netflix movies than I would to see movies in the theater (I only watched one every two or three months). I was a satisfied customer, getting the service I paid for.
In December I canceled Netflix, and I left angry. I joined Netflix because it was the most convenient way to watch and return DVDs. Netflix decided to shift focus to "online viewing" without considering how many people use their computer for other things and prefer to watch movies on television. Instead of giving a discount to loyal customers, Netflix RAISED the price on everyone who had built their customer base on DVD subscriptions. Then Netflix offered the streaming service cheaper, which made all the DVD customers feel like Netflix was manipulating them and insulting their intelligence. Customers like to choose their products, not be herded into them.
What Netflix should have done was keep the DVD price the same while offering the cheaper online-only option. It's the fact they RAISED their prices on the loyal customers that built their business which is so insulting.
But that's not even the most outrageous thing Netflix has done. Today I got a "special offer" in the mail, supposedly to tempt me back to Netflix. For a minute I thought it might be an apology to their old DVD customers and some discount to lure me back.
What is Netflix's idea of a "special deal"? It is...NOTHING! NO DISCOUNT AT ALL! THE REGULAR PRICE PRESENTED AS A "SPECIAL DEAL"!
What the Heck?!
Netflix "offered" me the online-only package for the exact same price as they advertised in December, when I said no thanks and slammed the door. Moreover, they "offered" the same DVD service as I had before for two dollars more - the same RAISED price Netflix wanted me to pay in December?
So an offer is "special" just because Netflix says it is? They might be able to fool new customers with that crap, but to send that kind of phony "offer" to former customers is just going to piss them off further.
But perhaps that is the secret plan of Netflix: cash in on the IPO, "fire" all the previous customers, declare bankruptcy, and all the top executives that get away with the spoils will vacation in the Cayman Islands.
I hope the FCC is keeping a very, very close watch on all their shenanigans.

As a plastic surgeon, Dr. Harry Fallick often has the opportunity to talk to men and women who are concerned about the condition of their skin. When polling patients about what they do to protect their complexions, he found that many people didn't regularly use sunscreen because they didn't like the way formulas felt on their skin or because they suffered irritation related to sunscreen wear. Knowing how important daily UV protection is for keeping the skin youthful and radiant, Dr. Fallick made it his mission to develop a better sunscreen. The result of his research and testing is the Cotz sun care collection.

Cotz Customer Reviews
Amazed--so glad I got the sample - 1/7/2014 10:17:57 AM I got a sample with my order and it is so unique. It looks like a tan, fluffy paste but goes on like suede. Although it seems to sit on the skin it feels like it's absorbed. No shine, good color (I'm medium), and no scent. It didn't cover blemishes as well as I would have hoped but it's good for running errands with no makeup or under my mineral foundation. Very impressed & will buy when out of my current product.The best - 11/29/2013 6:37:00 AM I got this as a sample and once I've tried it, I immediately fell in love with it. Getting the full size now. Recommended for those with oily face and tan skin tone as it blends in beautifully.Not for fair skin - 11/10/2013 8:29:56 AM I got a sample of this with my last SkinStore order and tried it one morning. I immediately had to wash it off, because it made my face look like I had used one of those orange-colored self tanners. I don't have super-fair skin, either. I can use Benefit's Porefessional without a problem, but the Cotz version is way too dark.My new "go-to" sunscreen - 10/6/2012 1:53:54 PM My skin tone falls between light-medium and medium so I wasn't sure how this would look on me but it is just right and blends to sheer coverage. Anyone who is a medium or darker can use this fluffy, light brown mousse-like product with no problem. I like this tinted version a lot better than the Face Cotz SPF 40 in the blue tube which is a white colored product and shows up with a little white cast on me. It is slippery like a silicone-based makeup primer but the benefit is that gives sun protection. Fine on its own and no problems with wearing powder or liquid foundation over it. I do have to wear a moisturizer underneath it so it applies easier. Immediate sun protection, water-resistant, and non-scented, I love this! Because this physical sunscreen sits on top of the skin, it may not be for everyone.Very good! - 2/7/2007 11:26:18 AM I have used this product for several years. I have very fair skin (natural redhead) and I have not been burned one time with it on my face! Takes a few minutes to absorb but is well worth it to me.Can't Live W/Out It - 10/24/2005 2:17:59 PM perfect for any temperature or humdity level. I live in the desert and it keeps the sun off my face completely! So smooth and silkly I use it as a foundation.Skin Couldn't Breathe - 7/19/2005 6:33:36 AM I was really hoping this sunscreen would work because I do a lot of gardening. After about 30 minutes, my face felt like it couldn't breathe. I couldn't wait to take it off. My search for a really good sunscreen without all the chemicals continues.cotz - 7/25/2004 4:34:37 PM I thought I should try this product because it bears my family's name COTZ! -
Learn More About Cotz
Rather than using chemically based sunscreens, Dr. Fallick chose only natural minerals to serve as active ingredients in Cotz products. By using minerals that have the innate ability to reflect UV rays, he was able to eliminate the need for harsh chemicals that can irritate the skin and create formulas that are lighter in weight and more comfortable to wear. Shop the Cotz sun care collection now to feel the difference that natural sunscreen can make.
If a green lifestyle is important to you, you want to extend your product choices beyond just what you eat and what you wear. You can opt for natural skin care products as well, and your skin care routine should include a daily sunscreen. The Cotz brand was designed with you in mind—this line of sunscreens relies on natural ingredients, rather than chemicals, oils, or fragrances, to adequately protect your skin from the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays. These products come in a range of SPF levels, so you can easily find the right sunscreen for your needs. You can keep your skin well protected from the sun while ensuring that the sunscreen you're using is gentle and irritant free, thanks to Cotz's unique line of sun protection products.
The Cotz brand has been celebrated in the press and by well-known celebrities and athletes alike. For example, in the August 2012 issue of Vogue, U.S. soccer star Hope Solo raved about Cotz's facial sunscreens. Perhaps Solo enjoys Cotz sunscreens because of their ability to prevent heat buildup in the skin, which can lead to skin damage. The brand also offers a lightweight alternative for daily sun protection—these products sit invisibly on the top of your skin, working to deflect UVA and UVB rays and prevent them from penetrating your complexion and causing damage. Whether you work outside every day or just enjoy some occasional fresh air, you need a daily sunscreen. Make the natural choice, and choose a Cotz sunscreen from SkinStore.

Finally a good connection and a decent computer!!!!
I don't have time to do much reading tonight as I am at work and on a break while I write this. So, I thought I would just let you know how things have been going.
My last drink was August 19. If I make it for another 5 hours I'll have 2 weeks.
I forced myself to go to work August 20th, it was hideous (bad hangover). I had a pretty busy schedule from the 20th to the 23rd and then caught a flight at 8:30 am after getting off work at 6:00 am. I went to my first AA meeting on August 24th at 7:00 am Hawaii time. It was on the grounds of the Stone Church on Alii drive in Kona right next to the ocean.
I got there early and was asked to read How It Works. I only agreed to read it because I was told many years ago that you never say no to AA. I've been pretty emotional lately, so I had doubts in my mind whether I could get through it without crying. As I started to read I had a sense of peace and comfort and joy come over me and I couldn't finish the reading.
How It Works is such a perfect message it could only come from The Higher Power.
I'm still on step one. I'm also on the "pink cloud" phase. The pink cloud is pretty cool. I didn't experience it the first time or second time I got sober. I always heard people speaking about it and wished I could have it.
Going to my first AA meeting in Hawaii was very symbolic for me since I got sober there in 1983. It is very spiritual AA.
I just had a very peaceful and healing vacation. I wrote a lot in my journal, read the Big Book, went to meetings and prayed.
I met a woman at one of the meetings that had gone out after 13 years of sobriety. Our stories were similar in some ways. She has had a difficult time sticking around and even had to put herself through treatment. I hope, one day at a time, that I have learned the lesson that we are supposed to learn by trying controlled drinking.
I tried controlled drinking and once I took the first drink I could not guarantee my behavior or the amount I would drink. I know that I have a fatal and progressive illness. It has progressed even while I was sober.
I know in the 12X12 it talks about raising the bottom. I hope that peering into the abyss is enough for me and that there will be no need to jump into it. I am very grateful that alcohol is already kicking my okole.
I have to go out of town again on Sunday afternoon on a family campout. They are all normal drinkers in my husbands family. There will be drinking there so I will be praying a lot this weekend. Luckily, I have never drank around anyone but my husband. As far as the family knows I don't drink at all. So at least nobody will be trying to hand me a drink.
Gotta go back to work.

What is the genetic evidence for human evolution?
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
For Augustine, the literal sense of scripture is not a scientific narrative of physical reality, but a liturgical and poetic narrative of God's awesome power at the dawn of history. This is a vital thread in the story of how to read Genesis.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Christ is the reason the natural sciences work: he is the source of the laws of nature, and he contains and underpins the natural sciences. Christ is the pattern for all created things, while the Spirit – his presence in the created world – breathes the divine fire into the equations.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
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.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."

Performed for all types of applications, its weaving machines can weave both classic yarns (such as wool, cotton, silk and synthetic fabrics) and industrial fabrics such as filter and airbag fabrics, conveyor belts, fiber glass, carbon and steel fibers.
Eighty years of manufacturing tradition at the highest level, know-how, innovation and a new managerial team have made SMIT TEXTILE SPA a jewel of the Italian industry and a worldwide leader brand in its field.
In a long-term market growth, this company is pursuing expansion through synergistic diversification, using its know-how, its network of sales and service and the capacity of its plants to produce value in adjacent fields.

Marking the start of the Law Enforcement Torch Run of the Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang2013
Special Olympics Korea athlete Kim Min Young (left) and Special Olympics Hellas (Greece) athlete Dimitris Klabanis carry The Flame of Hope through Athens after the torch lighting ceremony for the Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang 2013.
Athens, Greece - 17 January 2013 - On Thursday, 17 January the Flame of Hope for the Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang 2013 was lit during a formal torch lighting ceremony. In keeping with tradition, this ceremony took place along the lines of the original torch lighting of the Olympics, at Zappeion Megaron in Athens, Greece where the flame was lit by the sun's rays. The Flame of Hope will then be transferred to Seoul, Republic of Korea where the Law Enforcement Torch Run® (LETR) Final Leg will formally be launched on 21 January, preceding the Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang 2013. This lighting ceremony begins a journey of the Flame of Hope across towns and cities throughout the Republic of Korea concluding with the Flame of Hope being delivered to the Opening Ceremony of the Special Olympics World Winter Games in PyeongChang on 29 January.
Thursday's Torch Lighting Ceremony was presided over by the President of Special Olympics Hellas (Greece), Mrs. Joanna Despotopoulou, in Athens; included addresses given by: • Representative of the Prime Minister, Yiannis Ioannidis• The Mayor of Athens, George Kaminis• Chairman and CEO of Special Olympics, Dr. Timothy P. Shriver• Chair of the Special Olympics World Winter Games PyeongChang 2013 Organizing Committee, Na Kyung Won
After the Flame of Hope was lit, Chairwoman Na handed the torch to Special Olympics Korea athlete, Kim Min Young and Special Olympics Hellas athlete, Dimitris Klabanis.
The LETR Final Leg Team consists of an international team of 133 members including 95 Law Enforcement Officer runners, 10 Special Olympics athletes, and support personnel who will serve as Guardians of the Flame® as they run the Flame of Hope throughout Korea. Information about the Final Leg Team can be found here: www.letr-finalleg.org. The Flame of Hope will stop in over 40 cities and towns, honoring the spirit of the Special Olympics global movement and delivering a message of hope to communities where people with intellectual disabilities continue to fight for acceptance and a chance to excel without barriers. The Flame will travel thousands of kilometers before arriving in PyeongChang where it will ignite the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony of the World Games on Tuesday, 29 January. Every two years, thousands of Special Olympics athletes worldwide come together to showcase their athletic skills and celebrate the spirit of Special Olympics in alternating World Summer and World Winter Games. The first Special Olympics World Games took place in 1968 and since then have evolved into a world-class sporting event, attracting a wide range of sponsors, supporters and media. Special Olympics World Games bring public attention to the talents and capabilities of people with intellectual disabilities and are a capstone to more than 50,000 competitions that happen at all levels of Special Olympics each year.For more information about the upcoming 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games, please visit the Games' official website at http://www.2013sopoc.org/hb/eng.
Special Olympics is an international organization that changes lives by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to more than 4 million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and other related programs. Special Olympics now takes place every day, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in all countries of the world to the community playgrounds and ball fields in every small neighborhood's backyard.

More than 100,000 international law enforcement officers have carried the Flame of Hope™ to the Opening Ceremonies of local and state/provincial Special Olympics competitions and Games, and Special Olympics World Summer or Winter Games. The LETR is now present in all 50 U.S. states, 12 Canadian provinces and 48 nations around the world. In 2011 the LETR raised more than US$42 million for Special Olympics Programs around the world and has raised more than US$414 million since its inception in 1981.

Echocardiography uses sound waves to make images of the heart. In transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), the ultrasound probe is passed down the throat and in to the esophagus. The esophagus is the tube that goes from the throat to the stomach. The esophagus sits very close to the heart. This method allows for clearer images of the heart than other methods.
This test is done to look for problems of the heart, including:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
You may be at higher risk for complications if you:
You will be given a mild sedative through an IV. You will be sleepy throughout the procedure. A topical anesthetic may also be applied to the back of the throat. This will numb the throat.
You will be asked to lie on your side in a hospital gown. The ultrasound probe will be slid down your throat and into the esophagus until it is near the heart. The device will create active images of the heart. When the imaging is done, the probe will be taken out.
15-30 minutes
There may be some mild discomfort during the procedure. Most people sleep through the procedure and remember very little of it. Your throat may be sore for a few days.
You will need a ride home from the procedure. Do not eat or drink until the numbness in your throat wears off. This will keep you from inhaling food or drink into the lungs.
Talk to your doctor about the results of the test.
Call your doctor if any of the following occurs:

As Goddard College celebrates the 150th anniversary of its incorporation this month, the future of the small school in Plainfield remains uncertain.
For sure, the schools faculty, staff, management and board of trustees should be proud of the milestones that have been accomplished along the way. And certainly this weekends festivities paid tribute to many incredible people, as well as the ripple effect many of those people have gone on to have elsewhere in the world.
But with the imminent departure of Barbara Vacarr later this year, the school is once again in that all-too-familiar pattern of conducting a search for a new leader. In the last 25 years, the school has had 15 presidents. The median tenure for a president has been three years, and an average of 3.2 years. That does not suggest a problem; it suggests dysfunction.
One has to wonder why the school continues to chew up the visionaries whose intentions, for the most part, have been to make the college sustainable first and excellent second. Are the internal politics of the school so polemic and territorial that there is no room for change or compromise? Presidents leave frustrated and often demoralized.
Vacarr, who has served the last three years, has been widely criticized on campus for her tough stands aimed at bringing up-to-date processes and methods into a system that proudly and openly rejects such edicts. Yet, she has stated time and again that Goddard must adapt in order to compete in the cutthroat world of higher education. She built a management team all women and even recruited board members she hoped would help to bust the schools stigma, shut down the old conversations, and build new partnerships.
But the challenge proved to be even more pronounced.
After an extensive analysis, Vacarr asked her board of trustees to allow her to take steps to move the school forward, broadening the outreach and opportunities, even at the risk of operating at a deficit that has come to be known as $1.5 million. Staff and faculty bristled, and the change of direction fueled fears over job security and other cost-cutting. Unions formed and remain in negotiation over their role in the schools future. In turn, Vacarr has been characterized as a bully and out of touch.
We would say that is the price of leadership.
The greatest education for everyone at Goddard is the one to come in the next year or so. The school must take even bolder steps to ensure their future. The board of trustees has difficult decisions ahead, even some that could once again chart Goddards course in yet another direction. They need to choose the next leader wisely. They need to put their full-throated support behind the plan. And they need to push hard to put in place the guarantees that Goddard will be around for years to come.
Vacarr has been vocal in her concern that the future is blurry, yet she seems confident that with the Goddard community, and the broader community of central Vermont, all pulling in the same direction, the school will grow. Otherwise, Vacarr, her management team, Goddards leaders and the board, have good reason to be uneasy.
It seems ironic a place that prides itself in throwing structure and rules to the wind would need to be reminded that it needs to do so and now if it ever wants to celebrate another anniversary.MORE IN LettersAs the school year begins to wind down, we would like to take a moment to thank all of the...

I think the message here was "notebook implementations aren't all the same and degree of support varies between vendors". As an example, some vendors offer BIOS support for switching between IGP and discrete graphics while others do not.
The amd.com web pages mention that switching is supported on Linux for AMD APU + AMD discrete systems but requires manual switching and an X server restart... that also matches my understanding of what is in fglrx but I haven't actually tried it myself.
For the more general case support appears to be Win7-only and vendor-specific :
I don't know what model of notebook you have but it appears that HP have recently released BIOS updates to support "fixed" GPU switching (ie one or the other) for some models :
The associated download pages only talk about Win7 compatibility so usual caveats. I think this is probably why the support group said "talk to the vendor".

The patron saint of drug of drug dealers. Jesus Malverde was a Mexican Robin Hood who took from the rich and gave to the poor until he was killed by the police in 1909. Mexican drug traffickers constructed a shrine above his grave in Culiacan, where they worship frequently. It is conveniently located in one of the most frequent marijuana and opium trafficking centers in Mexico. Many drug dealers and distributors buy all sorts of Malverde memorabilia (shirts, statues, figurines) to protect themselves from the police. (seen in A Man Apart)
Yo ese, 5-0! Malverde, mi amigo, deshágase de la policía.
Translation: Yo homes, 5-0. Malverde, my friend, get rid of the cops.

Lactose intolerance is gastrointestinal upset due to the inability to digest significant quantities of lactose. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and other dairy products.
Lactose intolerance is caused by a reduction in the digestive enzyme lactase. Lactase breaks down the sugar lactose into sugars that can be more easily absorbed. When not fully broken down, lactose ferments in the colon and causes symptoms.
Some people are born unable to make lactase. Others develop the intolerance over time.
Factors that increase your risk of lactose intolerance include:
Symptoms of lactose intolerance generally begin within two hours of consuming milk or other dairy products. The severity of symptoms depends on how much lactase your body produces and how much lactose you eat.
Lactose intolerance may cause:
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Your doctor may recommend a trial period of eating no milk or milk products to see if symptoms resolve.
Your doctor may want to perform tests to help make the diagnosis. These may include:
Your doctor may recommend a biopsy to examine intestinal tissue.
Temporary lactose intolerance following an infection usually goes away after the intestine heals.
Treatment for chronic lactose intolerance focuses on managing symptoms. For most people, removing dietary lactose, especially in children and adolescents, would not be recommended. Milk and milk products provide sources of calcium and other food elements that are hard to replace. If complete elimination is chosen, then careful replacement of calcium is needed for good health.
Treatments include:
Keep a food diary of what you eat and what the reaction is. Discuss the findings with your doctor or a dietitian.
Dietary changes may include:
Your doctor may recommend lactase enzymes if you can tolerate only small quantities of lactose. The enzyme supplements come in liquid and chewable form. A few drops of the liquid added to milk, which is allowed to sit overnight, can decrease the amount of lactose in the milk. Tablets are chewed or swallowed before eating foods that contain lactose.
There are no current guidelines to prevent lactose intolerance.
