Wednesday night in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre the Stone Temple Pilots kicked off their U.S. tour. I have a long love of this band with some interesting moments too. Here's a photo back 23 years ago when KISW 99.9FM had a free sponsored show at the OK Hotel with STP. November 20, 1992 shot on my pocket Kodak 35mm film camera.
I did a positive review of their debut album back in '92 (post publications were slamming them as a Seattle grunge sound rip-off) in my local Seattle fanzine B.T.R. Music Magazine. The band and label appreciated my words (I knew they'd be huge) and invited me to their "Plush" video shoot that actually happened here in Seattle near Greenlake at the Little Red Hen. Enough of the past lets get into the present! Scott Weiland is out and Linkin Park's Chester Bennington is in. He's a perfect fit for the band!! Weiland dug his own grave with this band and I'm glad the band is not staying hostage to his unpredictability issues and moving on with Chester. Was excited to see how this would work tonight as I've never seen the band fronted by someone else than Weiland. Besides some of the funny first show of the tour mistakes he was kick ass!! Here's some fan footage off YouTube from Michael Rovski of "Dead & Bloated" from this show.
Day started off being asked to shoot the bands soundcheck party with their VIP's. That was a blast!! Everyone was invited onstage as the band playfully jammed soundcheck and directly to those fans! It was something I've NEVER seen from a band and what an experience it was for those people and even me shooting. I made sure to get a full group shot of the band and these fans at the end of soundcheck.
Seattle Setlist: Lounge Fly/Vasoline/Wicked Garden/Sex Type Thing/Pruno/Crackerman/Coma/Sin/Big Bang Baby/Out of Time/Heaven and Hot Rods/Meatplow/Adhesive/Creep/Big Empty/Plush/Interstate Love Song/Down/Sex & Violence/Trippin' on a Hole in a Paper Heart/ Encore: Piece of Pie/Dead & Bloated
Seattle savant musician Richard Peterson who actually played on a hidden track "My Second Album" on the 1994 "Purple" album was invited out at the end of the show and gave a few words to the crowd. That was awesome!! See STP Richard post/photo HERE.
Overall as a life long STP fan I'm glad to see the band happier than ever and moving on with a singer fully capable of continuing this bands legacy as one of the greatest radio rock bands of our time. Go see this band live!! The songs speak for themselves including the new ones with Chester!

Has 25 years really gone by? Our city of Seattle has been through so much pain over the years within our music community loosing so many great musicians to drugs. Seems like yesterday the bad news of Andrew Wood hit my ears 3.19.90. I remember the huge buzz leading up to the Mother Love Bone "Apple" release. They were the next rock stars, the next big thing in rock music, then Andrew has a relapse with heroin and the end of Mother Love Bone happened before it even began. Remember one thing, if there was no Mother Love Bone there might of never been Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana etc.
Andrew Wood and MLB opened the major label records door to Seattle and it's uprising rock/grunge scene. The world changed forever...thank you Andrew, you were of a different seed for sure, but a special one it was and its a damn shame that seed didn't blossom into the major rock star you were. You were the biggest loss in Seattle rock music history by a long shot. Why? True rock stars were a thing of the past before Andrew, he was the next and would've been possibly the last true rock star we'd know from his musical talent, vision and fashion that we would've seen grow over the years. Apple is what we have left and in Seattle music history it will live on forever! Check out Northwest Music Scene's article today: "25 Years After The Tragic Death of Andrew Wood- We Still Wonder" Great article {READ HERE}
Thought I'd have a little remembrance post today to one of our lost Seattle rock warriors Mike Starr formally of Alice in Chains. Four years ago today, RIP 4/4/66-3/8/11
Back in January me & Stephanie caught the Spector Bass unveiling at NAMM of Mike Starr's new signature bass. It looks awesome! Made to the last specs Mike had and wanted. He'd be proud of this!
Check out my exclusive photos from the private Mike Starr memorial inside the EMP then the Seattle Center with fans.

Came across this YouTube video channel called SockPuppetParody that had me on the floor laughing! What creative genesis!! Take a music video and create it using sock puppets and changing the lyrics to wash machine related themes. Example: Metallica = Lintallica / Slayer = Stayner / Static X = Static Cling / etc. Then you have the lyric changes...just watch the views and laugh!!!! My favorite has to be the Rage Against The Washing Machine video...classic!!! Ha! Check them out on Facebook: www.facebook.com/sockpuppetparody YouTube: www.youtube.com/SockPuppetParody

For nearly 4 decades Billy Idol has been in and out of just about every fan of rock/punk/pop music ears in one way or another. From the late 70s with the British punk rock band Generation X to his continuing successful solo days, Billy Idol at nearly 60 can still rock with the best. With a Sold-Out Paramount Theatre in 2015 it proves his staying power is still there. In support of his new awesome album (made my Top 20 of 2014) "Kings & Queens of the Underground", he opened the show with a new killer track "Postcards from the Past" and then going into "Cradle of Love", but it was the 3rd song that got me excited, his latest single/video "Can't Break Me Down". By far his best tunes in years with a modern sound mixed with his classic Idol style we all know and love. Great live tune.
Bedsides playing the hits "Dancing With Myself", "Flesh for Fantasy", "Eyes Without a Face", "Rebel Yell", "Mony Mony" etc. he also played two Generation X tunes "King Rocker" and "Ready Steady Go". Guitarist Steve Stevens was just as entertaining as Billy. His electric acoustic solo was a fun display of his bad ass skills. Why isn't this guy mentioned with the other guitar greats of today?
Overall it was an entertaining show. Billy sounded pretty good (little flat here and there), looked amazing without a shirt on at 59 years young, still commands the stage with the attitude he had back in the day. Make sure to check out his new album "Kings & Queens of the Underground". {Buy Here} Stay up-to-date with Billy Idol at: www.BillyIdol.net

Ok, that time of the year when I look back and say to myself "I did all that this year?". Between all the concerts and photography I did, there was the hours and hours of editing at the computer and the music that kept me focused and sane. What a year it was with all the concerts I got to cover for Entercom radio stations: KISW 99.9, The End 107.7, The Wolf 100.7 and Hot 103.7. Add in some travels like to California covering NAMM for KISW and my new gig (Thanks Dave & Larry) working on the Monsters of Rock, Moody Blues, Cruise to the Edge and Celtic Thunder Cruises. Not many can say the Bahamas was like a 2nd home in 2014. 2015/2016 looks even crazier with more cruises to be added & in the works like (you Rockaholics will love this one) the Lewbrewski Cruise! Imagine craft beers mixed with lots of killer bands from around the world. There's no doubt it was a year of experiences most other photographers could only dream of. I plan on not waking up any time soon ha!

"IRON" MIKE'S TOP 20 FAVORITE ALBUMS OF 2014: Maybe you'll discover some new music here..enjoy!
1) Overkill - White Devil Armory - Mind blowing how Overkill release their best album 30+ years into their thrash metal career. Take note Metallica & Megadeth! Overkill is the best and it's all about still having the passion and heart to do what they do best: balls to the wall power metal thrash that's memorable, singable and plain energetically fresh from start to finish. Just what the doctored ordered. {BUY}
2) The Mothership - Bright Side of Dim - Seattle's new hard-rock grunge alternative kings! The Mothership release one of the most diverse sounding and enjoyable rock albums ever released from Seattle! Probably the most favored Seattle release since Second Coming's 1998 release on Capitol Records. {Buy}
3) Behemoth - The Satanist - Probably the most groundbreaking Black Metal album in decades! Music style I don't listen a lot too but Poland's Behemoth show that thinking out of the normal "Death" box you can create dark music that's atmospheric on epic levels within this genre of music. The basics of rock in roll underline this brutal extreme metal style and that'd where 95% of Black Metal bands fail at. It's not who's the heaviest, fastest or most monster (as in cookie) sounding vocals anymore, it's trying new realms of musical & lyrical interest and Behemoth hit a grand slam with "The Satanist".
4) Texas Hippie Coalition - Ride On - Finally a THC album that's produced and sounds amazing! Plain jaw-dropping album that will be stuck in your head and leave your ears with a bad case of OCD. I can't stop listening to or singing "Splinter" and that "Rock Ain't Dead" tune is unreal when that riff jumps out after the Queen-like "We Will Rock You" drum parts. Imagine Pantera meets Lynyrd Skynyrd. Guitarist Cord Pool is off the hook! This 22yo's riffs and structures make my bones shake. One of the best hard rock/metal bands out there! {BUY}
5) Triptykon - Melana Chasmata - Ex-Celtic Frost frontman Tom Warrior and his latest doom metal Triptykon band blew me away with this release. The MONSTROUS down tuned sound (especially from bassist & beautiful voiced Vanja Slajh) is the best of any album in 2014. Has that classic full studio sound not heard much in todays digital recording age. Moody, mysterious and plain rocking from Switzerland. I still can't get over Vanja's bass sound throughout this album. She crushes everyone! Every song is like 6-12 minutes and epic on so many levels. Thank you Tom Warrior! {BUY}
6) Judas Priest - Redeemer of Souls - Plain and simply one of the best Judas Priest albums ever. Took me a couple spins, but imagine a Priest album that riffs in style from the very early rock riff days to the current metal manifestations. "Halls of Valhalla" pure Judas Priest classic! Mind boggling Rob Halford can still deliver these vocals at 63 years old! The Metal God for sure!
7) Otherwise - Peace At All Costs - Hands down the hard rock album of the year released form the states. Otherwise debut major label album "True Loves Never Dies" was the best selling debut rock album of the year 2012/13 behind the hit "Soldiers" (see video) and "Peace at all Costs" is even stronger and better in many ways. Las Vegas natives Otherwise are definitely one the futures of rock music for the next generation. Great live band too.
8) Skindred - Kill The Power - Imagine a Newport, South Wales band that mixes heavy metal, alternative rock, reggae and punk. Also integrating elements of dancehall, jungle, hardcore, ska, hip hop, dubstep and various other influences into their music with the best live frontman (Benji Webbe) in the biz. There's NEVER a bad Skindred album. One of my favorite and best live bands on the planet. AMAZING album from start to finish that you won't hear musically from any other band around. Skindred rule!
9) The Crying Spell - Spectrums of Light - New Wave rock for the new millennium! Seattle's Mod-Wave-Rockers The Crying Spell deliver a major-label like release like no other from the Northwest! How is this band unsigned? "Crash into the Sun" a total classic and the "The Dead War" and "Shoulder of Giants" are EPIC tracks just not heard in music today...Eric Synder is a guitar God! Former members of Point One and Second Coming! The Crying Spell, winners of the first annual American Family Insurance "Dream Show Seattle" competition, performed to 67,000 during halftime at the Seattle Seahawks regular season finale December 28, 2014. BUY!
10) Ancient Warlocks - Ancient Warlocks - One of the greatest sludgy grunged stoner-rock albums ever from the Northwest, That opening fuzz riff sound of "Into The Night" is unreal!! What a great album!! Soundgarden meets Sabbath on a magic carpet ride through the green leaf fields of Washington State. Ancient Warlocks album is a must!

NAMM - Media Day - Anaheim, CA 1.21.15
Full Photo Set: Click Here
Overview/Photos/Video: Mike & Stephanie Savoia
This years Media Day at NAMM was indeed the most attended one in recent memory. At times it was hard to even move around to shoot a photo or even video. Maybe a good sign the music business overall is back on the up? This annual trade show draws nearly 100,000 music-industry retailers, manufacturers, artist and fans from around the world encompassing nearly every genre of music. Before the four-day trade show opens, most of us media-related folks fly in a day early to attend a special 3 hour session with a few select companies that participate to showcase their new products direct to media before they become possibly lost in the nearly 1.5 million square feet of exhibit space within the Anaheim Convention Center and outside buildings.
All the companies (feel free to click the links to discover some cool company products) participating this year on NAMM media day were:
Blackbird Guitars, Cordoba Guitars, Epsilon-Pro, GTC Sound Innovation, IK Multimedia, Imitone, iZ Technology, Line 6, Make Noise, Marion Systems Corporation, McCarthy Music, Monster Products, Orange Music Education, Peavey, Rock & Roll High, Roland Corporation, Taylor Guitars, TC-Helicon, The John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, V-MODA and Yamaha.
Each year the Executive Director of the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, Brian Rothschild brings in a big name special guest to mentor students from Berklee College to write and record a new song on the tour bus. The artist also comes in on media day and talks about the importance of music education among the youth of today and how NAMM & the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus work together to do just that. This year was George Clinton (Parliament Funkadelic). He also promoted his new book "Like George" too.
One of the most interesting product demonstrations was from Orange Amplification's with their new Musicboard where the student does not necessarily need to play an instrument to learn and understand music theory with actual sound demonstration using the music board. The video will show you a normal looking whiteboard come to life with the touch of a wand or you can demonstrate with the attached keyboard!
So after 3+ hours at Media Day here's each of our favorite new product release at NAMM Media Day 2015.
Stephanie: Imitone - Play any instrument with your voice. Definitely my favorite product on Media Day. You can use your voice to create a guitar riff or whistling to make a melody on a piano. You don't have to know how to play these instruments to create music with them. The software translates the sound of your voice, humming, whistling and even musical instruments into MIDI - digital music sound. To get started, you just need the Imitone software, a microphone and a music app. An example is Apple's GarageBand. Your voice would become piano, electric or acoustic guitar, or one of several keyboards.
If you are going to sing, hum or whistle, it does need to be in tune. If it's not in tune, the instrument your voice is being translated to will also be out of tune. The software is still in beta so the two versions are being sold at a discount. The basic version is $25 and includes: Scale correction, loudness control, vibrato control, pitch blend, octave shift, and percussion control. The prime version includes the above as well as: Simultaneous multi-instrument control, adjustable tuning, timbre controls, experimental polyphonic detection, fully configurable MIDI sequencing, custom analysis tuning and analysis data visualization.
Mike: GTC Sound Innovations REVPAD - The REVPAD is a wireless small, elegantly designed device, that can be easily attached with thin velcro on top of any amplified guitar, acoustic or bass. It transmits to a sound processing base unit that contains high-end effect algorithms along with traditional analog distortion and overdrive. This is a game changer for guitarists world wide! Imagine the sounds and unique sounds with your playing you could create! REVPAD expands any guitar beyond one's imagination and gives the ability to play unique and inspiring sounds with just a finger swipe on the pad.

Saturday night dilemma of what to do? How about catching 3 shows at different locations on the same night in Seattle like myself?
Lets' start in the U-District at the Neptune Theatre with comedian & impressions of celebrities specialist Craig Gass. He has 2 shows this night at 7 and 9:30pm. I'll be covering the 7pm show. What's really cool is Gass is giving a portion of his ticket sales to local comedian Dylan Avila who was attacked onstage by a crazed comedian not allowed to perform that night so he took a baseball bat to Dylan's head resulting in a fractured skull. (See KOMO News story) Dylan is actually going to try to open up Craig's show too only a week after his attack. Buy Tickets Now. Craig Gass is supporting his latest CD/DVD release "The Worst Comedy Show Ever" (Buy Now).
So as soon as Craig Gass is done I'm heading down to my 2nd comedy show of the night at the Showbox, Steel Panther! If you don't know who Steel Panther is yet, their Wiki page states it perfect: "is an American glam metal band from Los Angeles, California, mostly known for their profane and humorous lyrics as well as their exaggerated on-stage personae that parody the stereotypical lifestyle in the 1980s". If you recently saw them open for Judas Priest in the Tacoma Dome last November you'll remember them forever and if you had your kids there, you were probably covering their ears at the same time too ha! Catch Steel Panther on Jimmy Kimmel tonight on...that should be interesting 18+ TV ha! To buy tickets to their 21 & over Showbox show this Saturday CLICK HERE. Standing room only left to buy so hurry!
So by the time Steel Panther is done I'm jumping back in the Jeep and heading down the road to Slims Last Chance Saloon where our local old-school metal heads Zero Down are playing their "No Limits To The Evil" CD (on Italy's Minotauro Records) release show. With their stage time set around 11:30 I have a chance to catch some of the show and yes CD's will be available to buy for you all! The band were on KISW's Loud & Local this past Sunday. Hear the hour long podcast with new songs. I recently had the awesome opportunity to shoot the main CD shot of the band to correlate with the amazing cover artwork by the legendary metal artist Ed Repka (Megadeth/ Vic Rattlehead). Guitarist Lenny Burnett had an idea for it to be in a corn field, but once I saw the final album cover and watched the "Children of the Corn" movie (for a little inspiration) the shot and treatment instantly came to mind. I wanted it to be bad ass like the band was in the corn field as it was beginning to burn. Even though we had more fun than evil out in the field, I'm just glad we got out of there alive. Watch this video for a good laugh at our "No Limit To The Evil" band shot at Bob's Corn Field in Snohomish.
So who's joining me for all 3 shows Saturday night? Ha! "Iron" Mike Savoia
What happens when you take Black Sabbath and the crazy unhealthy culture of McDonalds characters? Mac Sabbath!!! Yes you read that right, a band called Mac Sabbath headed by the amazing Ronald Osbourne! Brilliant funny idea and wait till ya hear/read the lyrics, a mash of Sabbath & McDonalds ingredients guaranteed to give a laughing heart attack before eating McDonald's food will ha ha!! Check these guys out on Facebook! They will be conquering a McDonalds playland near you soon! Can't wait!

MARK KEOHANE, in Business Day, writes that South African player power isn't looking too flash after the weekend's Super Rugby humiliation.
The boast that South Africa enjoys greater playing talent than New Zealand and England isn't looking as flash this morning.
The Kings provided an unexpected highlight in beating the Highlanders in Port Elizabeth but the manner in which the Cheetahs and the Sharks succumbed to Australasian opposition is disconcerting and the way in which the Stormers lost in Sydney was equally dispiriting.
The Bulls remain the only realistic South African Super Rugby championship contender, but a top two finish is a must if the Pretoria-based franchise is to be successful.
If the Bulls have to travel for a play-off they won't win.
The South African concern extends beyond Super Rugby because the national squad players are either out of form, injured or certainly not en-masse in the top two or three in their positions in world rugby.
The second tier June international opposition won't expose the limitations of the Boks but the Rugby Championship could make for unfulfilled weekends.
A month ago I was more optimistic than this morning. Duane Vermeulen's injury setback is huge. There had been no official release to confirm the length of his injury-enforced absence from the game but the match television evidence suggests it could be for most of the year.
How awful for a player who had to wait so long for a national call-up and who delivered so positively to the team's success when eventually honoured as the best No 8 in South Africa.
Vermeulen adds physicality to the position currently unmatched in South Africa. The Stormers offer decidedly less without Vermeulen. The Boks face a similar unappetizing prospect.
Selecting national squads is a weekly obsession in this country but after 13 rounds of Super Rugby and a season of Top 14, English Premiership and Heineken Cup there's enough to ponder about the probability and possibilities for this season's Boks.
National coach Heyneke Meyer has also already shown his hand with the identification of a Bok training squad, but the areas of vulnerability are looking decidedly ominous.
I'd select Willie le Roux at fullback for the Boks but if Gio Aplon can't make Meyer's squad, then there isn't much hope for Le Roux. Both players have an attacking mindset that doesn't translate to conservative national selections.
It's more than unfortunate.
Zane Kirchner has been Meyer's pick but he is injured and on his way to Ireland. In his absence no South African fullback has delivered consistently world-class performances.
Frans Steyn is injured, Pat Lambie is playing flyhalf and Joe Pietersen isn't good enough to be a Test fullback.
Bryan Habana and JP Pietersen remain the only two world-class wingers at the moment and both are leaving for overseas.
I still believe Francois Hougaard is a better wing than scrumhalf but he, in an ideal Test match squad, would add value as a versatile substitute more than a starter.
The back three axis isn't an imposing one.
Jean de Villiers picks himself at No 12. He is world class and Robert Ebersohn and Jan Serfontein certainly offer promise of a healthy midfield future, but Test candidates are limited in numbers.
I have always promoted the playing virtues of JJ Engelbrecht at outside centre but there are concerns about his ability to organize defence. I still think he offers the squad physical presence and pace, be it at 13 or on the wing.
Morne Steyn has easily been the stand out flyhalf, but he is also on his way to France. Lambie, as much as I want him to be successful at flyhalf, seems in a holding pattern. He hasn't played with the authority and freedom of the youngster who inspired the Sharks to a Currie Cup final against Western Province a few seasons back.
Johan Goosen is injured and I am not convinced Demetri Catrakilis is ready for Test rugby. Elton Jantjies has also lost ground at the Stormers.
Jano Vermaak has been good at scrumhalf and Sharks No 9 Cobus Reinarch is injured. It's not looking that good.
Loose-forward is the strongest position in terms of quality of player. South Africa will never struggle to find three excellent loose-forwards but it isn't always as easy finding three whose skills complement each other.
Andries Bekker has been the best South African lock in Super Rugby but he isn't available. Juandre Kruger is off to France, Flip van der Merwe has been good without ever being excellent and young Piet-Steph du Toit is a year off being very good as a Test No 5 lock option. Eben Etzebeth has only just returned from injury but within South Africa there isn't a lot of cover at No 4.
Adriaan Strauss has been the form hooker, but again there is very little of similar pedigree.
The front row options are not overwhelming but neither are they that good anywhere else.
Bakkies Botha, Ruan Pienaar, Schalk Brits and possibly Danie Rossouw provide overseas options, as do a handful of front rankers.
South African rugby will never be in a bad state but it's currently more silver season than golden generation.

(SportsNetwork.com) - The Washington Capitals hope to record a second straight victory on Tuesday night when they visit a Buffalo Sabres team that is coming off yet another shutout defeat.
The Capitals halted an 0-5-2 rut, the last five in regulation, with a 5-0 blanking of the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday. Braden Holtby had 21 saves in his first victory since Dec. 7 and Alex Ovechkin scored his league-leading 36th goal of the season in his return to the lineup.
Holtby notched his second shutout of the season and ninth of his career as Washington halted its longest losing streak since an 0-6-2 slide from Dec. 2-18, 2010.
Ovechkin, who had missed the previous two games with a lower-body injury, added an assist after scoring the first tally of a four-goal second period. John Erskine, Casey Wellman, John Carlson and Jay Beagle all added goals.
Washington, which had scored just eight goals over its losing streak, went 0- for-8 on the power play, but the extended time on the man advantage allowed the club to control play.
"It's exciting to win in this building, especially after dominating the first period," said Ovechkin. "They took too many penalties and gave us a lot of shots on net."
Washington, which plays the third contest of a five-game road trip, is now three points behind Detroit for the eighth spot in the Eastern Conference and will be without center Mikhail Grabovski for a second game in a row due to a sprained left knee. He did not go with the club to Buffalo.
The Sabres snapped a five-game slide with a win over Columbus on Saturday, but dropped a 3-0 decision to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Monday night. It was Buffalo's seventh shutout loss of the campaign, tied with Nashville for the most in the NHL.
Ryan Miller made 31 saves -- 15 in the first period -- for the Sabres.
"The second period (is when) we decided to start working. The first, we were just in awe watching them do their thing," said Sabres head coach Ted Nolan.
Buffalo was without forward Drew Stafford due to an upper-body injury and has lost five in a row at home.
The past three meetings between the Sabres and Caps have gone to a shootout, including a pair of wins by Buffalo this season. Washington won all three encounters last season, but has dropped four of its last six in Buffalo.

The story of Cotton Mather teaches that it is good for us all to keep alive the role of both divine and human communication when engaged in science.

The story of Cotton Mather teaches that it is good for us all to keep alive the role of both divine and human communication when engaged in science.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
The only conclusions in science which are widely accepted are those which are supported by multiple, reinforcing lines of evidence – "all roads must lead to Rome". If there is even one scientific trajectory that seems to clearly lead off to Peoria instead of Rome, the scientific process demands that the scientist find out why.
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
In this video, Brian McLaren discusses the idea of surrogate arguments, in which a debate over one thing is really a means for arguing something completely different. According to McClaren, the argument over the age of the earth is one such argument.
Seven years ago, fellow filmmaker Terry Kay Rockefeller and I set out on a voyage of discovery that would result in RENEWAL, the first feature-length documentary about America's religious-environmental movement.
As we mark the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, we'd do well to remember that it was successful because of its remarkable grassroots response. We've all become aware of the daily choices we encounter where we could all do our part.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
Collins poses, as the central question of his book: "In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews?"
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
In our sixth BioLogos videocast, we take a look at the age of the Earth. We explain four methods scientists have used to determine that age: tree ring, lake varve, radiometric, and seafloor spread dating, and also offer some theological insight on how an old earth can fit with the first chapters of Genesis.

If you read yesterday's post you'll know how I am looooonngggiiiing to go back to Alaska. But there are some other places that I am absolutely dying to see. I pretty much daydream about them all day long. So here are my top vacation picks for right now-
Washington State. I know I just mentioned my need to visit recently, but it's at the top of my list! I feel like Washington would be a dream place to live! It's enough like Alaska to keep me very happy, BUT if you live on the Western side there's only enough snowfall to satisfy, instead of Winter for 7 months out of the year! Heaven.
I've also blogged about my need to visit this next one before, but that was a few months ago.
Next- Arizona. My dad's working down there right now, and I'm hoping to take advantage of a free place to stay before he heads back to Utah. I'd love to be able to go to the Grand Canyon Skywalk! It's a glass walkway (even the ground is glass so you can see down the canyon) that stretches over the canyon! AH!
Now for the more impractical trips I'd love to take...
Switzerland... I hadn't REALLY thought about it too much until I saw this picture... wow. Now it's a MUST! That is breathtaking!
Norway. For as long as I can remember Norway has been the top of my list! Not sure why, guess I need to go find out!
Same with Germany. For as long as I can remember I've had this need to go to Germany!
And of course there's my constant need to visit Disney World. It's been 5 years since I worked there and almost 5 years since I've been there at all! I can't believe and hardly stand that fact... I miss it so much!
Where are you dying to visit?! Please share and we can daydream together. :)

Allister Coetzee says Schalk Burger is unlikely to play again this year as his injured knee has not responded well to treatment.
Burger has not played since the Stormers' opening Super Rugby match against the Hurricanes.
'Schalk is still out completely,' Western Province coach Allister Coetzee told rugby365. 'He had to stop the rehab completely because he wasn't going any further so he saw a specialist last week and we are just waiting for the report on that.'
Coetzee added that while further surgery could solve the problem, he didn't expect to be able to select the Bok flanker again this year.

Now seriously, I worked ALL timezones. Worked EMEA Shift for a while APAC Shift for a while, now I'm working AMER shift (from Europe) and been doing so for 7+ years. 5 PM to 2 AM my time.
Re:options are confusing (Score:5, Insightful)I really doubt that anybody has worked in all the different time zones. Even if you're a pilot and fly around the world, you'll probably only cover the major 24 timezones that only differ by an hour. There's tons of half hour time zones around the world, and couple 15 minutes time zones. If you want to get really specific, there's places like Saskatchewan that are in a time zone, but don't observe daylight savings time like the rest of the time zone, You could probably classify that as a different time zone.
How about these guys?

From whose point of view?
If, at some point in time, you were awake during each of the "regular" 24h that cover the globe, you were also awake during whichever weird timezone existed in any place on Earth, so technically you were "working" at the time. it wasn't YOUR timezone, but it was THEIR timezone, so it still applies.
Even if you're a pilot or a sailor circumnavigating the globe, it is doubtful that you'll work in the 24 major time zones. For a pilot, it's only the time zones of the departing airport and arrival airport that really maters. You may cover other time zones in between, but you wouldn't _work_ in those intermediary time zones, which is how the question was phrased.
A minor detail, but there are 25 major time zones, not 24, -12 through +12. The two time zones on either side of the international date line are half as wide (7.5 deg vice 15 deg) as all of the others. And to amplify the point, Saudi Arabia officially uses solar time and could be interpreted as having an infinite number of time zones.
I really doubt that anybody has worked in all the different time zones
Ah, but it depends on how you parse the question. I've worked in all the time zones I've worked in.

That is impossible to tell. The poll is flawed.
At this point I think it would be more disturbing if the poll didn't have any flaws. It's a
Whichever you want obviously, as both choices apply.
"3" is not an option at all. The options are...
So for 3, I'd say pick "1" or "-3" -- whichever you think reflects your situation better.
As in actually gone to different time zones to work or work on systems in various time zones? I have UTC/EST/CST/MST plus Alaska and Hawaii servers so 6 if that's what you're counting. Double that if you're counting the output of date (MST vs MDT).
I did have to fly overnight to Dallas to work on a crashed server and to California for a class so 3 if you only count physical visits.
Most of the time I'm physically located in PST8PDT, though during the time I've had this job I've also had a business trip to EST5EDT and a vacation trip to Hawaii where one thing I did was visit a coworker who lives out there, spent a couple of weeks helping my mom after she had knee surgery and worked from there, and that doesn't count checking email at airports in mountain and central time zones (with various values of Daylight Savings Trickiness.) So physically it's probably 5 zones.

Except for those increasingly rare times when I actually need to talk to someone on a telephone, I don't even think in terms of time zones.
If you're in North America you could be dealing with people in any of 4 1/2 time zones, but with e-mail etc what does it matter?
Or with contractors and consultants on the other side of the globe.
If you're trying to set up a meeting with team members in New York, San Francisco, Tokyo, and Bangalore, time zones matter a lot. Email is insufficient, unless you like waiting a full day for a conversation that should take ten minutes.
I don't know what planet you're on, but on this one Canada has 6 time zones and the continental US has 5, but only one is different than Canada's (Alaskan time). Greenland has two time zones, and the French islands Saint Pierre and Miquelon also have their own time zone. I'm not sure about all of the Caribbean islands, but North America has at least nine time zones.

I remember a time when I was still working for HP, and was in charge of setting up support some global customers.
I was based in Sydney, had to deal with one of HP's call centre operations out of Chennai. This is normally fine becuase they were only 5 hours difference, so there were a few working hours overlap.
The problem was, this particular group operated for some reason on GMT time, so it really annoyed me because there were no working hours overlap, and they simply would not work with me during my business hours!
Anyway, back to the survey, I've only worked for a living in 5 distinct timezones, (not counting supporting anyone/thing in a different timezone)

Not quite. On the east code of Australia we have timezones for Queensland, New South Wales/Victoria, and Hobart. That's three timezones for approximately the same longitude. The reason is that DST makes no sense for Queensland, but does for NSW/Victoria/Hobart, but Hobart is far enough south that different start/stop times for DST are more appropriate there.
So even if you were at the south pole in the same longitude as the east coast of Australia, you wouldn't be in any of the Australian timezones. (unless

The M 1900 SPLINE® 29 wheel is cocked, loaded and ready to shred! Its straight DT Swiss's SPLINE technology combines high attention to detail and the legendary DT Swiss reliability, to bring you intricately machined hub shells, cleverly positioned spokes and proven freewheel technology for an overall more superior wheel. SPLINE wheels are tubeless ready, meaning with the correct tubeless kit and tubeless compatible tires, the tubeless ready rims make for simple and quick tubeless setups.
Straight pull spokes are utilized for their absence of spoke elbows, eliminating the biggest weak point of conventional spokes, while increasing the overall stiffness of the wheel. The intensively engineered hub shell paired with straight pull spokes allow for an optimized position of the spoke anchor points, creating a stiffer, more reactive ride. Quite possibly the best part of pairing straight pull spokes with DT Swiss's SPLINE hubs is the lacing pattern. The lacing pattern ensures that the spokes align with mathematically precision, keeping material to a minimum for the best strength to weight ratio. If you're fishing for affordable, high-quality, reliable circles to roll on, look no further than the M 1900 SPLINE 29!

Very disappointed and was forced to shoulder bike for two mile hike because rear hub locked up completely. Also very unhappy with the exchange procedure for an issue that is clearly a manufacturer defect.

RALEIGH— Jacksonville's Cormick Brennan couldn't believe what had just happened.
Moments after playing his final high school soccer match Saturday night at Dail Soccer Stadium, the senior defender held both his hands on top of his head and told himself that his team was a state champion.
Indeed the Cardinals were after an unbelievable rally that saw Jacksonville get the decisive goal with 3:18 remaining in the second 10-minute overtime from Chris Tziatzos after Brennan's tying goal with 2:41 left in regulation to defeat Hickory 2-1 in the NCHSAA 3-A championship game.
"It hasn't set in," Brennan said. "I don't know how to put it in words. Everybody believed in each other."
That despite the Cardinals (26-1) facing some adversity in the title match against the Red Tornadoes (27-2) on N.C. State University's soccer field.
Jacksonville not only played without senior midfielder Austin Patselas because of too many yellow cards in the playoffs, the Cardinals also saw senior Blake Heatherly leave for the rest of the game following a red card just five minutes into the second half after the official ruled he touched the ball on purpose with his hand near the goal.
All this made the Cardinals title mean so much more for the Cardinals and coach Dave Miller, who also guided Jacksonville to the 2005 state crown as well as eight consecutive trips to the East Regional final.
"Just crazy; the kids kept believing. They believed in each other, and they found a way to get it done," Miller said. "It shows the type of kids we have, not just this season, but the past eight years. You can't teach that heart and that desire."
Tziatzos, a sophomore midfielder, emerged as the championship game's most valuable player after his goal gave the Cardinals the crown.
The game was tied 1-1 and appeared heading into sudden-death overtime when Jacksonville junior Warren Washington played the ball at the right corner with the mentality of trying to score, despite being held in check most of the game.
However, he crossed the ball to the middle, only to have a defender play it. The defender attempted to kick the ball down the field, but instead kicked it to Tziatzos, who then fired a shot from the 18-yard line and scored.
"I just came through and found a corner," Tziatzos said.
And Washington was trying to find a teammate inside the 18 when he crossed the ball.
"I was just trying to get it across and serve it to someone," he said. "Chris put it away."
Down 2-1, the Red Tornadoes never threatened to score an equalizer as Jacksonville held on for the title.
"We always believed in each other," Washington said. "We never gave up."
The Cardinals showed that late in regulation despite being down one goal and being down one man after Heatherly's red card.
Seemingly, the state title was going to go to Hickory.
"In the back of your mind you are thinking it's not going to work out," Jacksonville senior midfielder Aaron Sparks said. "You just have to keep playing."
That's what Jacksonville did. The Cardinals got new life when Brennan scored with 2:41 left in regulation. The goal came after junior Ryan Johnson delivered a free kick from about 40 yards out that bounced off Hickory goalkeeper Will Arditti. A scramble for the ball near the goal line ensued before Brennan got his foot on the ball and kicked it in.
"Ryan played it in and it bounced off somebody and I brought it down and just swung. I wasn't aiming for anything," Brennan said. "I felt I was close enough to the goal that it wouldn't rise up over it."
Regardless of whether it was from him or someone else, Brennan wasn't surprised his team scored a game-tying goal.
"We knew someone would step up," he said. "It was me, but it could have been anyone."
It certainly took a team effort for the Cardinals to rally despite Heatherly's absence that was created after his hand ball was ruled intentional and set up a penalty kick goal just 4:56 into the second half by Hickory senior Conner Hartman.
Jacksonville's attack got better late in the second half and in overtime while its defense held tough to keep the Cardinals close. Senior goalkeeper Zach McCracken made 3 saves for the Cardinals, who got strong backfield performances from Brennan and juniors Tyler Waterhouse and Dylan Elliott.
"We switched Michael Chin to the midfield to give us a defensive presence there and in the back we put Tyler, who has given us minutes off the bench," Miller said. "We had a variety of people back there. It was makeshift. We just threw kids out there."
Brennan, though, was a little nervous after Heatherly went out. His absence showed at times as Hickory had some chances to extend its lead in the second half. The Red Tornadoes had a shot hit the crossbar and another go just a few feet wide of the goal.
"It was tough because Blake is my safety net," Brennan said.
But the Cardinals' supporting cast stepped up, and in the end the Cardinals proved they were the best in the state. Jacksonville has been the top-ranked 3-A team in the N.C. Soccer Coaches Association poll since early October.
"We knew that we were No. 1 in the state," Washington said.
The Cardinals showed that.
"Our motto is, 'Believe,'" Tziatzos said. "We just had to keep working."
Jacksonville 0 1 0 1 — 2
Hickory 0 1 0 0 — 1
GOALS—J: Brennan, Tziatzos. H: Hartman. ASSISTS—none. IN GOAL—J: McCracken (3 saves). H: Arditti (4 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—J 6, H 5. CORNER KICKS—J 8, H 11. RECORDS—J 26-1, state 3-A champions. H 27-2, state 3-A runner-up.

CANCUN, Mexico - Senior guard Courtney Osborn had her fifth career 30-plus point effort on Saturday when she scored 30 to lead Miami to a 62-49 victory over Nevada in the Caribbean Classic. The RedHawks improve to 7-5 overall, while the Wolfpack fall to 5-6.
Osborn finished the day 11-for-15, including a 5-for-7 performance from behind the three-point line. Her game was well rounded as she also contributed five assists, three steals and tied a career-high with two blocks.
Miami's ability to block Nevada's shot kept the normally high-scoring Wolfpack at bay. The RedHawks tied a school record with 10 blocks in the contest, led by freshman Jessica Rupright with a career-high four.
Osborn got things for Miami by burying a three-pointer to open scoring. Hannah Robertson hit a pair of jumpers as the RedHawks extended the advantage to 7-2 early. Nevada came right back with a 5-0 run to tie the score, but Kristin Judson answered with seven straight points off a pair of buckets and a three-pointer to make it 14-7 with 14:16 remaining in the first half.
In front, 16-13, at the 8:56 mark, a layup from Judson and a three-pointer from Osborn sparked an 11-4 run that opened up a 10-point advantage at 27-17 with 3:59 to go. Osborn would follow with a jumper and a free throw, while Hannah Robertson had another layup to help send the RedHawks into the break up 12, 32-20.
Miami shot 45.2 percent (14-for-31) for the first half, while holding Nevada to 26.1 percent (6-for-23) shooting. Osborn led the RedHawks with 13 points.
The Wolfpack struck first with a jumper to begin the second half, but two more three-pointers from Osborn and a jumper by Hannah Robertson helped make it an 18-point game at 40-22 with 18:08 to go. Nevada cut the deficit to 13 at 43-30 at the 15:01 mark. The RedHawks answered right back with a 13-6 run over the next six minutes to gain their largest lead at 56-36 with 9:01 remaining in the game. During the run Osborn had another three-pointer, while Haley Robertson and Hannah Robertson each found Kirsten Olowinski down low for layups.
The RedHawks' offense went cold as they would not score for the next seven and a half minutes. During that time Nevada scored 11 points to cut the lead to nine at 56-47. Miami refocused as Judson found Olowinski for a layup at the 1:32 mark. She was fouled on the play and converted the free throw to put the advantage back to double-digits at 59-47. After holding the Wolfpack scoreless on their next possession, Osborn would nail one final jumper from the left corner to help secure the 62-49 win.
Miami finished game shooting 48.1 percent (25-for-52) from the field. The RedHawks held Nevada to 33.3 percent (18-for-54) shooting. In addition to Osborn's 30 points, Hannah Robertson had 10, while Judson had nine.
The day after breaking Miami's all-time rebounding record, Olowinski led the 'Hawks with 14 on Saturday. The Red and White outrebounded Nevada, 36-30. Miami finished with 14 steals, led by Haley Robertson's career-high seven.
The RedHawks will be off for the next two weeks during the holiday season. Miami returns to action on Saturday, Jan. 5 when it travels to Duquesne for its final non-conference contest before Mid-American Conference play begins. Game time is scheduled for 2 p.m. and Tim Bray will have the live audio broadcast on Miami All-Access for those who have a subscription.

MT. PLEASANT, Mich. – The Miami University softball team suffered a 4-2 setback against Central Michigan on Saturday. The RedHawks fall to 10-7 in the Mid-American Conference and 17-27 overall. The Chippewas improve to 12-5 in the MAC and 26-16 overall.
For the third straight game, Miami got on the board with a run in the top of the first. With Tiyona Marshall on first base, a single by Hailey Reed moved her up to second. Jenna Modic followed with a single to right center that brought the speedy Marshall home and gave the RedHawks a 1-0 lead.
CMU was able to score two runs in the bottom of the second off Modic to take a 2-1 advantage. Paige Myers came in to relieve her and held the Chippewas scoreless over the next 3.1 innings.
In the top of the fourth, Kayla Ledbetter hit a shot over the left field wall that tied the score at two apiece. It stayed that way until the bottom of the sixth, when Central Michigan hit back-to-back home runs to lead off the frame and go in front, 4-2.
Remy Edwards and Bree Lipscomb led off the top of the seventh with back-to-back singles. Miami got unlucky when a hard hit ball by Taylor Shuey was snagged by the Chippewas' first baseman. She tagged first to retire Lipscomb for the double play. A groundball would finish Miami as CMU held on for the 4-2 win.
Ledbetter finished the game 2-for-3 with one RBI and one run scored. Modic was 2-for-3 with one RBI.
Miami will look to split the series with Central Michigan when it takes on the Chippewas Sunday at 1 p.m.

Wonderful addition to any home or office
By Heather
from Austin, TX
Delivery was fast. I think I paid about $30 total for primer and the wallpaper adhesive needed. I used my own paint rollers and materials. It took me (once the primer had dried) about 45 minutes to hang. It is definitely a two person job. I had issues lining up at times but that is only because my wall is imperfect. Once placed it stayed up. It looks wonderful! Instead of TV one can just sit and marvel at the world. Completely worth the price. My only complaint is that one panel has richer color when compared to the one next to it. It was obviously printed at a different time or in a different way. However, this is noticeable but not enough to bother me.

When we buy a new car, we usually know what features and qualities our new vehicle must have, and then it's just a matter of finding the most agreeable price and financing to fit our budget... But, how do we know if we're getting a good deal on our trade-in?What about residual value? According to the Wall Street Journal auto industry research and information company Kelley Blue Book says consumers can take a big financial hit if they don't consider how much their cars will be worth when they trade them in. To help raise buyers' awareness of resale value, Kelley released a list of the 10 new vehicles it expects to retain the highest percentage of their original sticker prices after five years on the road. ...

From the time you arrive until the time you leave, you'll be under the supervision and guidance of our professional trainers. We always maintain a great student-to-teacher ratio in order to provide an ideal learning environment.
The training sessions here are conducted on a one-on-one basis. Many of the other gyms throughout Phuket charge additional fees for private one-on-one lessons and label it as "VIP training". Well, at Patong Boxing Gym, we view all of our students as VIP's and we don't charge you extra to be treated as such.
To give you an idea of what to expect, here's an overview of a typical session..
- Skipping
- Stretching
- Technique Work With Your Trainer
- Bag Work With Trainer Supervision
- Pad Work With Your Trainer (5 full 4 minute rounds)
- Sit Ups And Stretches To Finish Off
Since the training is one-on-one, it's tailored to your needs so there is no "set-in-stone" outline of the workouts. If your trainer feels you need to spend more time working on something specific (kicks for example), then that's what you'll do.
Likewise, if there's something you want to spend more time on, just let your trainer know and the session will be geared around your request. If you want to focus on clinching or sparring one day, just let your trainer know and that's what you will be doing.
Patong Boxing Gym is located in the hills adjacent to a beautiful running path and of course, running is recommended but not mandatory. We always have trainers that are preparing for their upcoming fights and you're always welcome to run with them if you need the extra motivation.
All of the trainers here are instructed to emphasize proper technique. If you're doing something wrong, they'll let you know - oftentimes over and over again - until you get it right!
Regardless of whether you're training for fun & fitness or to become a professional Muay Thai fighter, the trainers here will cater to your needs. Once you're ready and up for the challenge, we can also book you in fights at the local stadiums against equally matched opponents.
So stop in and give it a try - you'll be glad you did.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Uric Acid in Urine
What To Think About
- Having a high uric acid level does not mean that you have gout. If your uric acid level is high and you do not have any other symptoms, you will not need to take any medicine to decrease your uric acid level.
- If you have kidney disease or have had a problem with kidney stones, your doctor may start treatment with a medicine, such as allopurinol, even if your uric acid levels are not too high.
- Uric acid also may be measured in blood. To learn more, see the topic Uric Acid in Blood.
- About 10 out of 100 kidney stones are made of uric acid. These white or orange stones are hard to see on an abdominal X-ray. Uric acid stones can form when urine has a low pH (is very acidic). People who have gout are at high risk of developing uric acid kidney stones. Allopurinol (such as Zyloprim) may be prescribed without doing a 24-hour uric acid urine level test if a person has significantly impaired kidney function or tophi. Tophi are chalky, white accumulations of uric acid crystals that build up in the soft tissue of a joint, often occurring in the joints of fingers. Tophi may also develop in the cartilage of the external ear, the back of the fingers, or the elbow.
- The chance of having high levels of uric acid in the urine increases under some conditions, such as from receiving chemotherapy for some types of cancer.
- If the urine uric acid is greater than 750 mg per 24-hour urine sample, a person with gout is usually treated with a medicine such as allopurinol that decreases the body's production of uric acid. A person in this situation is called an "overproducer."
- If the urine uric acid is less than 750 mg per 24-hour urine sample, a person with gout may be treated with a medicine such as probenecid (for example, Probalan) that increases uric acid elimination by the kidneys. A person in this situation is called an "underexcretor."
- A person with tophi or uric acid kidney stones will be treated for high uric acid levels no matter what the results of the uric acid test are.
