The '80s are attempting to make a comeback in fashion -- with mixed results. See which celebs can pull the looks off and which fail miserably
Everyone knows one. A trend fanatic. You know, the friend (or frenemy) who has to try absolutely every single trend that existed in every single era since the '20s? You've seen her wearing the poodle skirt from the '50s, the hippie's hairstyle from the '60s and even the whole "going topless at the beach" trend from the '70s. Ridiculous, we know.
And while some of them miiiight work (we're all still hanging onto the plaid shirt with the rolled-up sleeves), let's face it. Some trends are just meant to die a horrible death and never, ever be revived. We're talking parachute pants. Or wearing your bra over your shirt. Whoever invented that look should be thrown into jail by the fashion police.
So then why are these old trends still mingling around, totally haunting us in the form of the above-mentioned trend fanatic? We wanted to find out, so we came up with the '80s edition of the most daring celebrity looks we could find. We tracked down a ton of celebrity fashion trends to see who scored the ultimate '80s fashion fail trying to bring back the era.
And ... surprise, surprise! Although we did find a ton of appalling '80s disaster looks, we actually found a couple celebrity styles that looked good enough to make us consider wearing them in public. But only because each of them came with a cute twist that kept them modern-looking. No wearing neon leg warmers or ripped tights any time soon, got it?
So should the celebs wearing the following '80s trends "keep 'em" or "ditch 'em?" We'll tell you what we think, but leave your own vote in the comments section below for the best and worst looks out of the batch. Will it be Drew Barrymore, Heidi Klum, Jessica Lowndes, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Osbourne, Leighton Meester, Lindsay Lohan, Mena Suvari, Rihanna or Tyra Banks?

General Studies - B.G.S.
|College of Arts and Sciences
|105 Bowman Hall
Tel: 330-672-2062
E-mail: email@example.com or email@example.com
|The Bachelor of General Studies is a non-major degree that provides maximum freedom for students who wish to take an interdisciplinary and creative approach to the design of an educational program while maintaining a focus on career or professional goals. It is an individualized program in which students, rather than a faculty department, undertake the responsibility for the research and design of their program. Students choose a minimum of three academic departments in which to select courses and develop a rationale for the way in which these courses are supportive of their career goals.
|Since the B.G.S. degree is designed by students to meet their individual academic and career goals, the career opportunities are limitless.
|Students who wish to become candidates for the B.G.S. must make a special application to the College of Arts and Sciences. Students should begin the process for evaluation and program review at or near the time they achieve junior standing. The formal application must be submitted by application deadlines prior to the term before students begin the last 30 credit hours of academic work. July 1 is the application deadline for program approval for the fall term; November 1 is the application deadline for program approval for the spring term; and April 1 is the application deadline for program approval for the summer term.
To be admitted to candidacy for the B.G.S. degree, follow the guidelines listed below:
|The Bachelor of General Studies (B.G.S.) requires a total of 121 semester hours of successfully completed credits. In addition, 42 of those 121 credit hours must be at the upper-division (30000-40000) level. Students must complete the degree with minimum 2.00 cumulative GPA.
Students pursuing the B.G.S. must complete the university's Kent Core and diversity and writing-intensive course requirements as described in this Catalog.
(1) Minimum 3 semester credit hours in mathematics, logic or computer science; and (2) minimum one laboratory science within the 6-credit-hour basic sciences Kent Core category. Courses taken to satisfy the social sciences must be taken in at least two curricular areas (e.g., ANTH, ECON, etc.). Courses taken to satisfy the Kent Core should be carefully chosen to fit in with the overall B.G.S. program. University and college requirements apply to this degree.
|All of the limitations on the applicability of credit described in this Catalog apply to the B.G.S. These limitations affect applied and nontraditional coursework, applied music and music ensembles, native languages other than English, physical education activity courses and ROTC courses.
No more than 24 semester credit hours in any one department may be counted toward the 121 credit hours required for graduation. When two or more disciplines are housed in one department (such as French and Spanish), they may be counted separately.
All courses taken from the list of major program requirements are used in the calculation of the major GPA.
Students who already have completed the course or hour requirement for another major may not be admitted to the B.G.S. program unless given special permission by the College of Arts and Sciences.
Students who already have earned a baccalaureate degree are not eligible to pursue the B.G.S. degree.No credit will be allowed for duplication of courses.
No credit will be allowed for duplication of certain series of courses as stated elsewhere in this Catalog.
|Because the B.G.S. is a nontraditional degree program, it is essential that students pursuing this degree plan their programs with care. Careful planning demands close consultation with advisors in the college
office and with faculty advisors in the departments where the student plans to concentrate coursework, as well as with advisors in Career Services to research potential educational and career goals. Extensive
advising is especially important for students who plan to pursue advanced studies after completing the B.G.S. degree.
Students pursuing the B.G.S. degree are officially advised in the college office. All decisions regarding students' program plans are made in the college office, including approval of any alteration in the departmental formulas provided in the original program plan.
All changes must be requested in writing at least six weeks prior to course registration and must include a revised program rationale.
Not every course is suitable for the B.G.S. program. The B.G.S. advisor will inform students which courses are not available.

Are you sick of feeling nasty and painful sensation in your throat caused by tonsilloliths? Do you want to get rid of them as quickly as possible? Then read the above mentioned points carefully. Don't get afraid of them neither take them for granted. These stones are basically a mixture of various germs like bacteria, food, mucous and dead cells which can cause infection in your mouth. Tonsil stones are made of lymphocytes; cells which protect you throat from infections and germs. It can cause great discomfort and pain to the patient. A person suffering from it can have difficulty in swallowing food and sore throat. It can leave patient with a terrible taste and worst breath of mouth. So your first priority should be to remove them.
There is no need to consult a doctor if the size of your tonsils is not that large. But if the case is otherwise, doctor would suggest you with a prescription of antibiotics. Antibiotics help reducing the aching sensation of your throat in a much quicker way. After medications, surgery is the one last option. Through operation doctors remove your tonsils which are symptomatic. But there are a large number of people who have avoided the step of surgery and learned the natural ways to cure this problem. Change in your diet is a must step to take. Avoid using caffeine, sugar and sticky oily stuff as they can worse your tonsils. Also reduce the amount of dairy intake and start drinking as much water as you can. Water can help cleaning tonsils present at the back of your throat.
The process of removing tonsil stones can also be done at home. People also wipe them out with the help of tooth brush or finger. But this method can be painful and unclean. So, more effective way is to use a Q-tip or water pick. You can clean the stones after dipping cotton into the water and carefully wiping out its crypts. Water pik is also used to rinse food jammed in your tonsils and teeth. Gargling with warm and salty water is also an effective method to remove those annoying stones. You can also gargle with a liquid mouth wash Alkalol; which is a combination of salt and various natural scented extracts.
Availability of special sprays and nasal drops has also made it easier to get rid of them. These sprays help avoiding the painful sensation caused by the presence of tonsils. Nasal drops on the other hand are known to be a good option to treat tonsils as it is made up of post nasal drips. Such drops are also very effective in preventing the formation of future tonsil stones. Make it your routine to use oxygenating mouth wash. You can get it from any medical store. Make sure to read the instructions carefully as you don't need water or cleaning of tongue before brushing.

Mind it this disease is not that dangerous as it is thought to be. By applying few remedies you can easily eliminate it. But make sure to consult doctor for your own satisfaction.

Noble Cedar by Chopard
What scent reminds you of cutting wood?
There has to be something out that evokes this. Something that is not cloying/overpowering or sweet.

Noble Cedar by Chopard
Hmmm well chopping wood at my home, you get more of the bush smells than you do of the wood you're chopping, so there's much more grass, greenery and smoke (from the fire inside the house) going on than actual woody smells. I've not found a fragrance that smells like this.
Concerning the scent of working with wood, though, I can tell you that Crabtree and Evelyn Sandalwood, and the opening of Creed's Royal Oud both smell fairly true.
CDG Wonderwood
My current top ten:
1. Spice and Wood
2. Tonka Imperiale
3. Dior Homme
4. Pure Malt
5. Oud Wood
6. Ambre Nuit
7. L'air Du Desert Marocain
8. Noir de Noir
9. Apple Brandy
10.Straight to Heaven
Tam dao perhaps
Is the juice worth the squeeze?
Tam Dao definitely.
Hm, one of the DSquared2 fragrances has to fall under this category.
Cedre by L'Occitane
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Chene by Serge Lutens
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
Hinoki by Monocle/CDG to me smells like the driest, freshest wood right before you chuck it into the fireplace to me.
Hi, I'm William | My Swap Thread
I find Wonderwood to be quite sweet.
Santal 33.
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Chene by Serge Lutens - One is initially treated to an enveloping aura of freshly planed lumber, at once astringent, somewhat akin to the sour spitup of a baby, and yet, faintly sweet. A fruity booziness of rum as well as a syrupy immortelle, with its herbaceous, sweet hay aspect, swirl about redolent of an oozed sap. Transitioning to the awaiting middle, a rich, smoky cedar rises to usurp the opening wood, while oakmoss imparts its foresty, green bitterness, which is pleasantly offset by delightsome honey. Splashes of lemony thyme flitter about. Segueing to the enriching base, a robust birch bestows its root beer commingling with wintergreen aroma. Beeswax supplies its cured tobacco and sweet hay aspects. And, tonka bean offers its rich spiciness and smokiness. The intermingling of these scents creates a pleasing drydown. This high-quality composition has average projection and very good longevity. This somewhat rustic fragrance definitely leans to the masculine side.
He Wood Rocky Mountain Wood.
Parfumerie Generale; Bois blond. Smells like the heap of freshly cut logs of birch, aspen and pine we have here every early-fall.

I'll second both Tam Dao and Santal 33 and I'll add...
Let Me Play The Lion
Gucci Rush For Men
CDG Standard
Ormonde Man
Juicy Couture Dirty English. The very first thought I had upon smelling this was fresh sawdust.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
It immediately brings back memories of when I used to work in a dusty woodshop restoring antiques. Gucci Pour Homme has a similar dry down as well. They don't really remind me of cutting wood exactly, but more of the smell of old sawdust and woodchips.
But the fragrance that reminds me most of actually "cutting wood" is by far Dior Fahrenheit. Not cutting wood with an axe, but with a gas-powered chain saw. My Dad used to always go out cutting wood with a chain saw and when he came back inside the freshly cut wood, gasoline, and sweaty musk would all mix together and smell remarkably similar to Fahrenheit. The fist time I smelled Fahrenheit I was convinced my dad used to wear it because it brought back so many memories of him from my childhood. But my mother assures me that he never wore cologne. Now I'm certain it was just the smell of cut wood and gasoline on his skin.
+1 Let Me Play the Lion
+1 Hinoki
Also check out Black Tourmaline - the smell of pine sap, wood, and some wood smoke.
***For sale:

Another for Hinoki and Chene.
Wild at Heart and Weird on Top
Le Boise by Ginestet
CDG Artek Standard
More like pencil shavings: L'Artisan Navegar and Andree Putnam
Kanon Norwegian Wood
Cedre by L'Occitane came immediately to mind when I saw this thread.
In a world where people smell bad, it is the personal responsibility of every Basenoter to improve the world one SotD at a time...
Where can I find a sample of the Hinoki by Monocle/Comme des Garçons. I have looked everywhere.

Ah the smell of Home Depot...I have not found it's equal
^^^^you probably mean "Homme Depot"
Tam Dao in my opinion is just sandalwood, i think Noble Cedar by Chopard and Chene is a superb recommendation
Seems Gucci PH 1 smells much like sawdust. I can't comment but I have started to notice a lot of cedar in Gucci's Envy, so if you are happy with cedar sawdust this could be the one.
Laboratorio Olfattivo Cozumel. No doubts!
Edit; +2 The Ginestet Le Boise!

Gucci Pour Homme. (After the oil has blown away from my chainsaw cutting the wood).
Actually DeSquared's Potion is pretty close too.

Smudges aside, this refrigerator was a true standout, delivering steady, consistent cooling across several days of testing. If you're looking for a reliable performer in the kitchen, look no further.
Like the flagship G4, this 4.7-inch handset curves and has rear controls. Beyond that, it excels at saving you money.
Slow cooking and a lack of interesting extras make the LG LRG3085ST less compelling than similar gas ranges from Samsung and KitchenAid.
LG's LSRG309ST leads in terms of accoutrements like extra racks, a broiler pan and a cast iron griddle, but you can find cheaper ranges with comparable -- or better -- looks, cooking modes and performance results.
The flexible TV can go from flat to curved and back at the touch of a button. First introduced as a concept last year, it will go on sale later in 2015.
Pricing not available
In a move sure to please OLED TV fans who'd rather enjoy their expensive, high-contrast screens sans curve, LG will introduce flat OLED TVs too.
Pricing not available
The LG 55EC9300 lives up to the promise of OLED with the best picture quality of any TV we've ever reviewed.

Now, your home will be cleaned of most of the mud and debris that was collected inside it during the flood. You will then have less worries about your house getting further damage because of the area flooding. Here are the next two major steps that you will have to follow.
- Dry the house
You have just cleaned the house of mud and even sprayed water all over for this purpose. The walls and floors of your house are already quite wet right now. Therefore, you should be making sure that you dry it out completely before you carry out other tasks. As soon as all the wet material has been removed, you will have to turn on the dehumidifiers as well as the fans as soon as possible. If not, your house will be infected with molds which will obviously not be a very pleasant condition. This usually happens in the moist and warm areas of the house. All the wet carpets and paddings must be removed from the house at the earliest.
The floor space and walls must be free. Therefore, remove any kind of furniture, clothes, garbage etc. from the house and let it dry completely. You should also be letting the windows stay open for a while. Sunlight and fresh air will help your house breathe and dry quicker. If this step is not performed well, you will have to spend thousands of dollars on professional water damage restoration. Your house might even become unusable if you are not being careful. Hence, you must make sure that the house dries out as quickly as possible.
- Cleaning and sterilizing the home
After the home has dried entirely, you should be using a pump sprayer that comes with a solution that contains bleach water. You can use this spray solution to cleanse and sterilize your home. 10 parts water must be mixed with 1 part bleach in order to make this solution. It will specially be helpful for wooden things in your house. As the water will be soaked by wood, the bleaching agent will kill the mold and it will all come out to the wood surface. The bleach will be useful in making your house completely mold free.
You can now start paying attention to your damaged furniture, clothes etc. and check whether or not you have items that can be restored better.

Returning To Your Flooded Home – Part 2
After you have checked the exterior walls of your home, you should be moving on and check the other important parts of your home. Here are the next steps that you need to follow.
• Checking gas and electrical connections.
The most dangerous aspects of entering a house that has been flooded is the presence of loose electrical connections and leaking gas. The first thing that you must do in this case is to disconnect all the electrical supplies from your house and then shut down the water supplies as well. By doing this, you will be able to reduce the chances of unpleasant events like electrocution and even fire. In extreme cases, explosions can also take place because of a loose gas connection. Most of the utility companies prefer to cut down the power supply during these times.
It is also possible that they have cut down the power pole connection as well. However, you should not be taking any chances in this case and must be making sure that the breaker and main fuse of your home are disconnected too. In case they are on, they can still cause trouble for you. If the utility company turns the power back on at any time, you will come under extreme power hazards like electrical shocks, short circuits and other electrical damages.
Make sure that you enter the home when the water has been removed. Then you can go and remove the power and gas connections from your house. Do not take unnecessary chances with your life and property. A lot of people die every year because they don't understand the fact that water and electricity don't go well along with each other. Therefore, wait until the water has completely receded and then go ahead and disconnect these two.
• Dressing appropriately
This may sound absurd, but it is one of the important safety measures that you need to take. Always use rubber boots. If you have waders that come with hard soles, they can be used as substitutes. There can be sharp objects you can step on. They will save you from shocks as well. Wear rubber gloves too. A 95 micron dust mask is also necessary for your protection from contaminants, mold and diseases. Make sure that you wear protective clothing as well as a hard hat to protect yourself from any injuries. All you clothes should be water resistant and you must give as much preference to rubber as possible.

Floods are natural disasters and nothing can become more annoying or disheartening than returning back to your home after it has been damaged by flood. Quite obviously, we can save ourselves by going to safer areas during a flood but saving the home is something that cannot be performed. No matter the kind of floors, doors and windows you have used, it is quite possible that your house will be damaged to a significant extent and cause a headache for you when you are back.

Gas leaks can be quite common in the cases of water damage. There can even be some downed power lines or your own home's electrical connections that might have come in contact with water. In that case, it will be a suicide attempt to enter the house. In case of gas smells of electrical issues, contact a utility services providing company before you perform any other task. Let them check the house for any issues and repair them before you think about moving into the house.
There can be occasions when the water still exists on the exterior and exerts pressure on the walls. In that case, wall damage will become quite obvious. You should be making sure that the water pressure is not heavy or the house can even collapse right in front of your eyes. You can even see a couple of walls giving in to the pressure, especially the ones that were hit directly by the water pressure when the flood hit your area. More than these, you should be careful around any overhangs, extensions, shades or porches in the house as they are generally the first to give in to water damage and collapse completely. Do not stand under them in any case.

Slow Fish Nova Scotia
03 May 13
Lia Rinaldo, a film festival director by day, likes to explore and write about the food that surrounds her in Nova Scotia, Canada in her spare time. A member of the local Slow Food convivium, she attended the launch of Slow Fish Nova Scotia a couple of weeks ago. Following this, the Slow Food Canada National Conference announced last weekend that Slow Fish will soon become a national campaign.
This is her account of the inspiring day, originally posted at Se7en's a Banquet, 9ine's a Brawl.
Fish are the last great wild food.
They are part of a fragile ecosystem.
So are the fishing communities.
Change the way fish lands on your plate
Good lord. What an opener. I had the distinct pleasure recently of attending the official launch of Slow Fish Nova Scotia. It was a decadent 11-course seafood brunch (they posted it at 9, but the food kept coming, seriously) prepared by Chef Dennis Johnston and the team at Fid Resto.
This really is a good news story. In Nova Scotia we have had a lot of people working hard behind the scenes for some time to put fresh Nova Scotia seafood on our plates. Here. You'd think that it would be obvious, here we are surrounded by the Atlantic ocean, seafood feels plentiful, feels like it's all around us, but honestly most of what is caught here is heading somewhere else, and in most cases, is processed somewhere else. What the? But...
Cut to Dave Adler and the crews at both the Ecology Action Centre and Off the Hook CSF. People who have been working hard setting up personal relationships with the fishermen, divers, small scale fish plants and farmers who catch and grow seafood in Nova Scotia. From what I understand, Dave has been showing up right on the docks, endearing himself to the community and interrupting a high-level foreign food chain that has been happening forever. You have to admire initiative like that.
One of the things most people who have the good fortune to attend Slow Food International's Terra Madre conference in Turin will say, is that everyone eventually has their aha! moment. The moment where you are completely overwhelmed by the amount of information and people coming at you... and somehow, you are able to process it and invoke action locally. Dave was able to not only attend the event this October, but he became very involved with Slow Fish International. This is definitely Dave's moment and I'm going to follow it... Welcome Slow Fish Nova Scotia.
It was a wonderful afternoon, with a great cast of characters from Beau the rockstar fisherman and his adventures with halibut, to the singing clammer Terry Wilkins, to fellow engaging Slow Food Nova Scotia board member Peter Darnell from Indian Point Farms. Fun, funny, charming... they regaled us with both the good and the bad issues around their individual fisheries. I don't know about you, but I want to be told by people I trust what to do around seafood, where to get it, when to get it and what to try. It's that simple.
In terms of the food itself, Chef Dennis prepared a wonderful, fresh, thoughtful meal–perfectly proportioned–this was key given 11 courses.
There will be a number of upcoming events this year for Slow Fish Nova Scotia. In the meantime, you can follow their progress on Facebook.
Slow Fish is an international campaign coordinated by Slow Food International. From May 9 -12, the biennial Slow Fish event will be held in Genoa, Italy to bring together the network of sustainable fishers, chefs, fishmongers and experts and present their products, stories and lessons to the public.

The shininess is great, but my favorite perk is the free health care.
Bruce, it hits at 50 posts.
If I had known it was coming, I might have posted more often to hasten it. Anyway, I'm very happy to be a part of this forum.
Seeing as I'm averaging one post about every 144 days, I have some catching up to do. Way to go, yanogator =)

Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today unveiled five new methamphetamine chemical storage containers that will help cut costs and save time associated with meth lab clean-up.
Attorney General DeWine announced the installation of the units this morning at a news conference at the Canton Post of the Ohio Highway Patrol, where one of the containers is housed.
The units were installed as part of the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) Authorized Central Storage Container Program and are now regionally located in the following locations:
• Athens Ohio Highway Patrol Post
• Canton Ohio Highway Patrol Post
• Lebanon Ohio Highway Patrol Post
• Columbus Police Impound Lot
• Putnam County Sheriff's Office
"In a time where very few law enforcement agencies have officers to spare, these containers will help not only save money, but also save the valuable time that officers spend guarding drug cleanup scenes. This will help get them back on the streets faster so that they can investigate their next case," said Attorney General DeWine.
Law enforcement officers certified in methamphetamine stabilization and disposal procedures will now be able to safely transport chemicals from a meth lab scene to one of the containers. This eliminates the need for officers to guard an incident location, sometimes for several hours, while waiting for a contractor to arrive and remove the waste.
"When the federal funding was eliminated for methamphetamine lab neutralization and clean-up in Ohio – it lead to an opportunity for collaboration and increased efficiency at a dramatically reduced cost," said Ohio Department of Public Safety Director John Born.
Contractor expenses, which are paid for by the DEA, range between $1,000 and $2,500 per site, according to agents with the Attorney General's Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) Clandestine Laboratory Unit. The DEA will now be able to hire contractors to empty the containers of hazardous waste from several labs at one time, instead of hiring them to respond to individual incidents.
BCI agents will manage the use of the containers, which can store up to 220 pounds of chemicals. All of the units are located in secure, monitored areas and will be emptied on a regular basis.
"Even though the chance of an explosion is minimal, we made sure to locate these units in secure locations that are also in areas situated away from the general public," said DeWine. "All of the chemicals stored in the units will have already been stabilized by law enforcement, and the containers have blast wall protection as an extra precaution."
So far, Ohio law enforcement agencies have reported 770 meth lab seizures for the fiscal year of October 2012 through September 2013, as compared to 607 labs the previous year, however not all labs required the use of a contractor for clean-up.
Attorney General DeWine attributes the increase in labs to the increased use of the "one-pot" methamphetamine cooking method, which makes it easier and cheaper for an addict to make meth, intensified efforts by law enforcement to uncover meth labs, and increased awareness on identifying labs and lab remnants. BCI agents have taught approximately 110 classes in the past year to workers and volunteer groups who may be in the position to discover a lab.
The disposal containers are expected to be fully available for use by law enforcement within the next few months. So far, BCI has trained approximately 100 officers on operating the units.
The units, which cost approximately $7,000 each, were paid for through a grant from the Ohio Department of Public Safety's Office of Criminal Justice Services.

I was surprised at the weight of the invitation. The box they were shipped in was a great surprise. It's come in handy for storing the invites that were in process and now the wedding invitations! I was very pleased in the quality of their product and the quick turn around after placing my order.
We actually changed this and used it as our rehearsal dinner invitations. We loved the design and couldn't find what we were looking for in that section. We stumbled accross this and fell in love.

How much does the LTC pay in benefits? Is the company solvent?

First off I would like to say long days and pleasant nights to each of you who will be reading this. I hope that this includes Mr. Harris because I would warmly enjoy his impute and considerations as to what I say. Yes we may disagree, very much so indeed, but, it is always good to step in the shoes of others. Am I wrong? You will quickly find that this review is a Christian's response to the small letter by Mr. Harris. I would like it to be understood that I hold neither anger, hatred, nor hostilities against either you who agree with him nor the chap Mr. Harris himself. Of course I would like to point out that Mr. Harris seems to often call me and people like myself stupid. Not that you, Mr. Harris, are calling me stupid. My beliefs yes, but me, I dont think you are trying to insult me. Of course, I don't think of myself as being stupid, but because of my worldview I am being labeled as being stupid. Interesting. Yes, I am a Christian. I hold a Christian worldview in comparison to the humanist worldview that is proposed by Mr. Harris and that company. What do I mean by saying that I have a Christian worldview? I mean that I have, through logic, reason, and, might I add (though you wont agree with this deduction), inspired revelation, that GOD is who He says He is through Jesus Christ. I believe, as Mr. Harris points out, that I believe the Bible is the inspired word of GOD. I was not always a Christian, in fact most of my life I was not a Christian. I read works on most of the major religions and philosophies through both high school, undergrad, and Master's Degree in Educational Theory. As of right now I am going through the local ARP church/seminary to gain my second Master's degree, this time in Master's of Divinity. That is, to become a minister (as soon as I get through the "ten year plan" of school!). As such, I would consider myself both a Christian and an educated one at that. Some might disagree, but I digress. I admit too that I haven't been a Christian long, probably five or so years give or take a temporal coordinate for you sci-fi fans. And furthermore, just so that anyone might hazard to guess, no I do not chew tobacco nor do I drink Mad Dog 22 while going to the local drag racing track. I don't even know where the local drag racing track is and I probably couldn't find it even if Google helped me! With that all together explained, I wish to begin examining the book by Mr. Harris.
Now, to begin with, in the introduction of Mr. Harris' work, he seems to indicate that all Christians on the fundamentalist side of the equation all seem to be intolerant and critical of others especially when those others are critical of their religion. You seem to, in your book, make every single Christian out to be someone who is holding a torch ready to burn down anyone who disagrees. That is very much a discrimination, but alas I do not think that is how you see it. Then again you also seem to say that every one of us who is a Christian is an idiot, blinded, and a fool. I don't think that I am. Further, I myself do not feel threatened by your works that I have read, I have an opinion about what you have written and about your ideology, as you will surely see in this response, but, I do not feel the need to go out and burn books or what not. You bite your apple as you see fit. To begin with, on this point I must admit that I do tend to be, shall we say, fired up by debate and discussions. I enjoy a good debate and discussion, and while I might get overzealous at times, I never strive or allow myself to "name call" or even to threaten. What you believe is your worldview, and what I believe is my worldview. This is what I live by, that is what you live by. I think that if we DON'T allow a discussion from our worldview point of view out in the open, then we are making a great disservice to ourselves and to the world itself. Even more so, if I prevent you from expressing what you truly believe out in the open or you strive to prevent me from expressing what I truly believe, then that definitely is censorship and oppression. This is, for better or worse, a free society and we should be allowed to express ourselves in the open. Not violently, of course, because violence is again another form of oppression, but through intellectual debate though we both may be on opposite extremes of the debated belief. In other words, I am not afraid of criticism toward my beliefs nor am I threatened by criticism toward my beliefs. Nor, even more so, do I think that those who think differently, though I disagree with them, should be met with violence or hatred or anger.
So before I begin on specific issues outside the Bible itself, let me say something about the Bible. Yes. I trust the Bible. I believe that, through thousands of years of writings, from Moses who wrote the Torah through Paul and John and the other writers of the New Testament, GOD inspired these writers to make up what we through the canonization call the Bible today. This does not mean that the Bible is perfect, nor does it mean that the Bible gives cliff notes so that we the reader understands every nuance of the Bible. There are many, many passages in both Testaments that I will admit freely that I do not understand fully. And again, I doubt many of the writers understood clearly either at times. No. Humans did write the Bible, and humans, such as the prophets, did not know fully what they were writing through the passions and the power of the Holy Spirit. Let's be specific shall we? You say, well the Bible shows Jesus Christ as a violent retribution against the sinners of the world. Yes. Yes the Bible does. You say, how does this show love? It shows love because it gives us a clear view of the punishment that, as myself as a Christian, believes there will be toward those who turn their backs upon GOD by turning their backs upon Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, as any king, this universe is His and we can either trust in Him and follow what He says because He says what He says so that we do not receive the punishment that we deserve (because we are all sinners, ergo, we all rebel against GOD and against Christ). Do you not receive punishment from society when you rebel against society? Did you not receive punishment from your parents when you rebelled against them? Yes, for your parents, they still loved you, but they allow you to make your choices for good or ill. Just as you sin against your parents and receive a reward when you do good or you receive a spanking when you do ill, so too, in the end, when all is said and done, receive either the reward (through trust in Christ) or the punishment (through the rejection of Christ). Do you believe me? No. Just because you do not believe me doesn't make it 100% on your part, nor does it mean that I am perfect in wisdom on my part.
Then you wish to point out several broad points of view from the study of the Bible. You bring up Deuteronomy, you bring up the Gospels, you bring up Paul's letters. Really. I wonder to myself though if you have, I am sure you have of course you wouldn't be writing such books as you do if you didn't!, study what and why the Bible says it does? Do you just see the paper and the words or do you strive to see an undercurrent of information? Do you take what is written and just see it for what you want it to be, inadequate and foolish, or do you try to…shall I say…step into the Christian's shoes to see why the Christian (and I do not point to any particular group of Christians, I myself am Methodist and my Seminary instruction is through the ARP church). I wonder how many studies have you gone through to see the importance of the Torah, the Prophets (Former and Later prophets), the Writings, all that make up the Old Testament? Are you familiar with such names as Meredith G Kline who wrote Kingdom Prologue, Walter C Kaiser Jr who wrote The Messiah in the Old Testament, as Norman L Geisler who wrote A Popular Survey of the Old Testament, or even Charles L Feinberg who wrote The Minor Prophets. Then again, I doubt I would remember or recognize as of right now any books by humanists about the Jewish religion and the Jewish Canon. Ok then. What about studies of the New Testament and Early Church history? Have you read the work The Real Jesus by Luke Johnson or Hebrew Christianity by Dr. Arnold G Fruchtenbaum (a Messianic Jew by the way) or The Revelation of Jesus Christ by John F Walvoord or, lastly, Church History by Everett Ferguson. Just as you study your humanism, so too did I. And now that I look back I see an arch in history, as the humanists strove to create utopian from the Tower of Babel to today's humanist manifesto, I see the foundation to be faulty. Then as a Christian, I too through educational processes and explorations and discoveries, have studied my path over the past five some years (I am in my thirties right now) of being a Christian. I wonder if you would step into my shoes and try to see what I believe and why I believe what I believe? Or will you dismiss me as an uneducated chap who doesn't know his left from his right?
What about morality then? You say that objectively speaking we as a society can create our own moral? Who is to say that that is true? What is perfect about society that society can create a utopia? Can society create a utopia? Society has been trying to do this throughout the history of man. Hellenism was a very humanistic thought pattern that preached "tolerance" (like you say you do) but really it was not tolerant in and of other ideas that might reject the Hellenistic ideologies of humanism, such as the Hellenistic slavery of the Jews during the Inter-Testamental period of the Bible as history. Again and again society tries to create utopians one way or the other, through yes religious beliefs (such as, say, the Essenes) or through ideologies (such as Communism), but, in the end, society is always doomed to fail because society (despite what you the humanists strive to teach) is fragile because men are imperfect. And as men are imperfect, so too is any man-made structure. This reminds me of the promises that the Snake told Adam and Eve (and I'll speak about creationism in a second). He promised to the first mother and father that they too could be like gods. That is a utopian seduction that humanists and many other beliefs, including some sects of Christianity I might add, strive to aim toward. I firmly believe that man cannot create his own utopian because man is flawed, man is, as the Bible would say, sinful. Man is imperfect. Man is fallen. You can preach pretty ideologies and theologies, but, like London's Bridge, it will sooner or later come falling down because man cannot be his own god because man is as faulty as shifting sands under a house. Well you might chime in and say that the belief of what is spoken of in the Book of Revelation at the end is a utopian. The difference is that that world, the perfect world, is based upon a clear and precise vision and touch and feel of GOD in the center of the New Kingdom through Jesus Christ. A changed world, on GOD's accord not man's "goodnness" because man isn't in himself good, he must be changed, he must become a new man and follow the Cross toward goodness. You do not believe that. Of course. You believe that man is good and that man is capable of doing good things with himself and his world. This idea was preached about even before Jesus came to this earth. And, if GOD doesn't return soon, so too I am sure it will be preached again until He does indeed return.
Another point that Mr. Harris makes is against the Intelligent Design vs. Evolution debate. I spent most of my life believing in evolution because that is what the biology teachers and the chemistry teachers in both high school and in college told me. During college of course I began reading as much about evolution as possible. I was dogmatic in its belief just as I see that many of you, then again you are humanists, are also dogmatic about evolution…as well as to be expected, Mr. Harris. Just as you say I may preach my beliefs, so to do evolutionists preach their beliefs. You are just as fundamentalist about your humanism as I am, I would wager, about my Christian beliefs. We are just, ironically enough, on opposite sides of the pole…so to speak. I didn't start believing in Intelligent Design after I began a Christian and after Christians shouted into my ear that it was correct. Ironically enough, I began studying Intelligent Design before I became a Christian (through a deistic point of view, not specifically a Christian point of view). For me, I saw the universe, and the immensity of the universe, from superstrings to superspace, and I saw a Design by Intelligence. As I became a Christian, I began studying such works as Ross and Stoke (Stoke being a recent one mind you) and I cannot help but agree with the idea and the ideal of Intelligent Design. This is not me being "afraid of science" or "hiding from science" or whatnot. This is making an intelligent decision through the careful study of two worldviews (and evolution is as much of a worldview as creationism, both take faith to believe) and deciding through careful reason and careful deduction that Creationism through Intelligent Design makes the most sense and makes the most logic. Does this mean that Genesis has all the answers? Of course not. Does this mean that Genesis was even written to confront Evolution? No! This is a matter of faith and faith in ID has the most logic for me. I say this through using science, historiography, and educational process of reasoning.
Yet another point comes to mind is the consideration and the belief that all Christians seem to want to go out and beat homosexuals and women who have had abortions upside the head with the Bible. I don't. I am firm in my beliefs but I have never condemned anyone or insulted anyone who has acted contrary with what I believe in. For me, yes, I admit that I disagree with the lifestyle and with the choice. From personal study I have seen that there is detrimental effects of both the lifestyle and the actions. That does not mean that I look at those such individuals as enemies or as heretics that need to be crushed. Not in the least. I do strive to live my life through Christ, I do strive to give love toward those that I know and I have known plenty of people who are gay and plenty of women who have had abortions. Both groups of individuals that are my friends know that I am a fundamentalist Christian and that I hold a fundamentalist Christian worldview but that doesn't stop me from being friends with such individuals. Not that I consider myself Mr. Politically Correct of the year, mind you, but I do strive to care for everyone, no matter what. Yes you can disagree with the life style that a person behaves in and you can emphatically disagree with the taking of a child's life, but you do not have to be a jerk about it. And I strive not to be one when dealing with anyone, not just homosexuality and the abortion issue. Still I shall say that both issues are important to me when dealing with politics. And those who know me know this, no matter who they are. Yes, I do vote for republicans who tend to wish to protect marriage and yes I do vote for republicans who are pro-life. This is call democracy. You vote for the candidate that you feel best suits your worldview. You might say then that I am imposing my beliefs on others, well if you think about it, when you vote for someone who is liberal about the marriage issue or who is pro-choice it could be said that you as well are imposing a set of worldview beliefs by your voting choice. This doesn't mean that you are a villain in my eyes, it just means that through the voting system you are making your decisions based upon the worldview you hold. Simple. Worldviews.
In the end, it comes to the matter of faith. What are you going to stand upon, what foundation are you to live by? Humanists have faith in humanity. Hence humanism must adhere to the strengths and weaknesses of humanity, because humanity is humanity's god. Humans worshiping humans, from the Greek Hellenism worldview to Humanism today, it is the same point of view. What it sees of humanity, what it judges in humanity, and what it hopes to see one day in humanity. I, on the other hand, have faith, through the process of reason and reasoning, through the powers of deduction and contemplation, have faith in GOD. I cannot see GOD, though I can see His shadow in the workings of my life. I can not touch GOD, but I can feel His hand holding me through the bad times I may go through. I cannot hope to hear, this side of eternity, GOD speaking back to me physically, mouth to mouth, ear to ear, but I trust in what I know through my senses, through my mind, through my soul. When I look at the world, I may not understand it, heck, I don't even understand all and every single page of the Bible, but that is fine by me. There is peace, there is security even in the worst of storms, because I trust in a greater cosm, in a larger universe, in a universe that is moved and issued forth through Intelligence and through Design. That this same ID that created black holes, galaxies, universes, super-strings and quarks, is the same One who is living in me, who shines through me, who makes me compassionate, who makes me care, who makes me see and do what needs to be done in whatever time I have in a short life as it is. You have faith in what you perceive, what you think you perceive, I have faith in the invisible.
I hope that you will read all that I have written. I do not think you will agree with me; however, I at least hope you will have respect for me as I have had respect toward you, showing why I disagree with you but not try to insult you. I have tried to not make this letter a vendetta style of a letter, but instead an explanation of who I am as a Christian looking toward you, a humanist.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Pleasant days and long nights to you.

Mobile Business reviews the TomTom GO 300
The journalist claims that manufacturers often lie. He says that, depending on how much they pay for PR is how well their lies are believed. In the Mobile Business article he exclaims: "TomTom on the other hand are telling the TRUTH!". He is shocked that the device works straight from the box and is pleasantly surprised that the spoken directions come at the right time with lots of voices to choose from. His conclusion: "From a reviewers point of view this product IS dreary, dreary, dreary – why? Because it's so damn good…This is the bested standalone Personal Navigation Device I have tested…"

Gallery: Fetching Folly For a Flyover Cinema in London is Built With On...
At the end of the summer, its use played out, the cinema will be disassembled.
It took volunteers one month to build the cinema from donated and reclaimed materials. Completed on 24th of June, Folly for a Flyover was tucked into the gap between the east and west bound traffic of London's A12 highway and will remain there for six weeks to provide daily waterside cinema, performances and plays.
During the day the structure will be used as a cafe, an event venue, and even a launching pad for recreational activities on the surrounding waterways. When the weather turns cool and their purpose here has "played out," the already recycled materials will be put to some other equally creative use.

Last year, more than 108,000 motorists called AAA East Central for battery-related car concerns, which is why the AAA Portsmouth office at 1414 12th Street, hosted a free battery wellness clinic on their parking lot Thursday, as a part of Fall Car Care month.
"We're promoting the care of your battery," Tammy Hrabic, of AAA East Central, said. "And we're promoting maintenance of your car. Winter is coming. We want you to be prepared. We do free testing. If you're a AAA member, we do mobile testing. So it's important to have the battery working properly so you don't get stranded."
Hrabic said AAA has contracted with Ted Scalf of Ted's Towing for exclusive towing service.
"They came to us as primary contractor back in 2011, but were a back up driver for us," Hrabic said. "They took over the area when Knittel's retired from the towing, and they have done a wonderful job. They run about 700 calls a month. They perform everything. All the training is provided for them. They sell batteries. They do everything. We refer to them as Preferred Service Provider. And what that means is they tow exclusively for AAA. They can also do police calls. They can do private calls. But they are exclusive to this motor club."
Hrabic said she encourages non-AAA members to stop in and learn about their services. By being proactive and having your car battery checked before problems arise, you may prevent battery concerns from popping up when you least expect them.

Cry Havoc, Under Strict, Competent Adult Supervision, of Course!
The Tsar Cannon of backyard artillery, the Floating Arm Trebuchet kit includes the detailed instructions and pre-cut/drilled pieces needed to construct a finished trebuchet within a day (two hours for a master carpenter, two days for a layman without any kit assembly experience).
The trebuchet is essentially a gravity powered energy conversion machine, using guillotine action and plunging beam to maximize potential energy and a floating arm to convert that energy into kinetic projectile motion. This kit is professionally engineered, designed and manufactured in the USA. Made with 100% hardwoods, each part is precision carved by computer numeric controlled machinery for a guaranteed fit and accuracy.
The trebuchet is capable of throwing tennis and golf balls up to 100 and 200 feet, respectively; it's designed and intended to spark an interest in real-world science and engineering (and perhaps a bit of history, too). Test your machine's strength and efficiency with the included equations and tips as you watch classical mechanics in action.
Note: This is a functional model intended for educational demonstrations of physics. It contains a fast moving arm and projectile that can cause injury if you make contact when firing. Use only under the strict, competent adult supervision.
Tools required:
-Scissors, glue, ruler, a utility knife, small wrenches (for one 1/4" bolt and one 3/8" bolt)
-Sandpaper optional
Assembled Size:
- Height: 34"
- Length: 18"
- Width: 7" (frame) 12"
Additional Counterweights Required:
-10 to 15 pounds of coins, rocks, weight plates, or anything that can fit into the 4" x 2" x 6" counterweight boxes.
