This coffee mill is very efficient. This model is much quieter than my previous Solis. I am enjoying this appliance daily.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?
We have purchased this grinder along with a Delonghi Bar40 espresso maker and are very pleased with both products thus far. The grinder does a quality job and the grind comes out perfect every time. We have not had a problem with this unit yet and are very pleased with the results so far. I did some research before purchasing the product as well as the Delonghi Bar40. For the price, they are both quality products. I did not read a bad review for either one of these products and would recommend them to others. They are great for first time espresso brewers like myself.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?
I recommend this product with the following caveat.
It does a nice job grinding coffee. But, there are a couple of design issues. The most irritating being the catch hoppers inability to stay in place during a grind cycle. The hopper vibrates itself out during the process, and you end up with coffee being deposited behind the hopper, inside the grinder. It's a mess. The fix I came up with, was to put some electrical tape on the bottom of the hopper (increases tension between the hopper and the spring tab on the mill). At just short of $100, I shouldn't have to come up with any fixes (thus the poor value rating).
The other design issue has to do with the timer. This grinder is replacing a 10 year old Braun Automatic Coffee Mill. If you were making 10 cups, you dialed up 10 cups. I assumed (wrongly, my fault) that this would be the same with the Capresso Mill. You will have to do some experimenting on your own to come up with your own prefferences (I came up with 8 for 10 cups).
Overall, it's a nice product. It is more quiet than the old Braun (a plus). And, now that I know how long to set the timer, it does a very nice, consistent job.
I hope this helps.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

Great Grinder
I like how I can put a lot of beans in the grinder to be ground at once. I grind enough coffee for about a week at a time, and this is the best size for that. Also does a great job of grinding a very fine grind.I recommend this product.

This grinder is great. It is much quieter than any coffee grinder I've had. It has enough power and it grinds uniformly! I am very pleased with this purchase. An added bonus was it arrived a week before scheduled. I should have bought it sooner!I recommend this product.

Best I've found
We've been through the "grind and brew" coffee makers and went back to separate units. This model is by far the best we've found and while I don't think I would pay what is shown as retail, I'd definitely pay double over some other brands.I recommend this product.

Nice Upgrade From a Blade
For years I have used a blade grinder for my drip coffee. I received a press pot for Christmas and needed a better way to control my grind. This Infinity Conical Burr Grinder is a wonderful step up. Quieter than my old blade and does a good job of adjusting the size of the grind. It leaves a fair amount of residual in the grind chamber, but removing the upper hopper and top burr is effortless so it easy to clean and brush out with the supplied brush.
It is unusual that there is no on/off switch. Instead the timer serves as the power switch. There are times when there are no more beans in the hopper and the unit continues to grind until the timer "times out" and powers off. However you can twist the hopper beyond the course setting and it will power off or unplug it. But that appears to be a minor inconvenince at this time.
Otherwise, this grinder appears to be a good value for around $100. I would recommend it as a gift for someone or if you are upgrading from a blade grinder and are on a budget.I recommend this product.

Worth the money
Looked at several burr grinders and this had the best reviews for the cost. It is quieter than the Cruisart one, but it does have alot of grind left in the chamber even after it is done grinding. Not a big problem just need to remember to clean it out after a couple of grinds.I recommend this product.

good grinder for money
We had a Cuisinart grinder for 3 yrs but the last 6 mo or so, I was having to clean it every morn... thats the last thing you want, when you want and need fresh coffee. I like the Jura because of the conical burr that is replaceable (instead of purchasing an entire new grinder). Gives a nice even grind and does not burn the beans like the Cuisinart was doing toward the end when it would load up. Only complaint is the hopper for the grounds... better then the "ultra static-y" Cuisinart, but still it harbors some static. I would have loved the straight drop Kitchen Aid with the glass hopper but could not venture the extra hunderd plus dollars. Otherwise Jura provides GREAT value!I recommend this product.

Pretty Good
My previous grinder was a Solis, a very substantial machine. But it did eventually quit. The Jura-Capresso is less expensive but also smaller and lighter. The arrangement of burrs, collar, hopper, etc., seem to be the same and the grind seems the same. So the telling factor will be how long it lasts. Over all, I'm content with it.I recommend this product.

Great Product
The Conical Burr Grinder is exactly as described and is a good value for a home (non-commercial use) product.
I had researched the whole subject of blade versus burr grinders, etc and it helped prompt me to by the conical burr type. However, despite all that I read about how burr grinding is better than blade "chopping" and that conical burr is the best of the two burr types, I was actuall amazed at the difference that this coffe grinder gave me in the taste of the coffee from my old blade "chopper".
Actullay it is astonishing.I recommend this product.Was this helpful?

I love the burr coffee grinders but this is the third, and last one I got in just a few years. The other 2 just went bad hopefully this will last longer. The coffee comes out good. I've had to start drinking decaf but with the grinding it with this coffee grinder it tastes so much better. It's almost like regular coffee.I recommend this product.

Black Infinity Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
This is the second burr grinder I have purchased and it is by far the best I have owned. The first was a Cuisinart which did a good job but was very loud and very messy with a lot of static build up in the ground coffee. This unit is very quiet and little or no static is created. The grind is very consistent. It takes very little cleaning to maintain the unit with the medium roast beans I use. I have owned the unit for six weeks, use it every day and have not had any problems. I don't see how a more expensive unit could give any better results.
The service from Cooking.com was fantastic. I placed my order even though they said it was out of stock and my take two weeks to ship. I received the order three days after placing the order. I will definitely will purchase from them again.I recommend this product.

This grinder is quieter than I expected. It grinds evenly and adjusts easily. The only part I am thrilled about so far, is residue coffee spilling out after the compartment with ground coffee has been removed. No matter how much I shake it before removing the compartment, half a teaspoon falls out as soon as the compartment is removed. Otherwise, a great productI recommend this product.

Watch this promo video of stars like Katy Perry and Britney Spears singing at recently shuttered karaoke bar Dimples.
We can't wait for Iggy Azalea and Britney Spears' duet "Pretty Girls," so of course we were psyched when the "Fancy" rapper opened up about the collab to Access Hollywood.
Momney! Britney Spears opened up about life with her sons Sean Preston and Jayden James in this week's issue of People magazine.
Called "Pretty Girls," the collaboration between Iggy Azalea and Britney Spears will be the first single off the Australian rapper's next album, due in 2015.
From her red latex bodysuit to the all-too-relevant Titanic reference, Britney Spears' "Oops! I Did It Again" music video was instantly iconic. Even with that status, we saw the video in an entirely new light after watching it without music.
Hair today, gone tomorrow! Britney Spears suffered an odd wardrobe malfunction when a clump of her hair extensions fell out during a 'Piece of Me' performance.
Christina Aguilera made our jaws drop with her killer Britney Spears impression.
Don't expect an entire country album out any time soon, but Christina Aguilera will be throwing on the cowboy boots soon.
Celebrities have feelings, too. Even when you think you're just talking random smack about them in the wide world of the internet (web?), you're still talking random smack about real people. If you're tweeting mean stuff? They might see it. And it might hurt them.
Britney Spears has been back in the studio working on her follow-up to 2013's 'Britney Jean.' But it looks like an unheard track has just made it onto the web.
If we're ever in trouble, we finally know exactly who to call: Jamie Lynn Spears.
You'll probably be hard pressed to find someone who got a better Christmas gift than Justin Bieber this year.

A modern well designed and operated secondary waste treatment works, at times, is capable of the discharge of large quantities of suspended solids into the receiving waters. The effect of these suspended solids upon the receiving waters is well-known, and has resulted in various Regulatory Agencies establishing maximum limits of suspended solids that may be legally discharged into certain waters.
The need to control the discharge of suspended solids, and insure water quality is most effectively met by filtration of the treated waste prior to discharge to receiving waters.
Initially, the filters that are utilized primarily for potable water filtration were adapted to the direct filtration of treated waste water with limited success. These types of filters are extremely limited in solids capture capacity, and have little or no tolerance for solids shock loadings.
A very effective waste water filter has been developed and is described in my U.S. Pat. No 28,458, reissued July 1, 1975. In that patent a method of increasing the filter run of a particulate media filter is materially improved by creating currents sweeping over the media surface. The patent is incorporated by reference herein as the general art to which the present invention is directed.
A further improvement to the filter described in my U.S. Pat. No. 28,458 is disclosed and claimed in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,817,378 issued June 18, 1974. In this patent, which is also incorporated as reference, there is disclosed a waste water filter wherein air is forced upwardly through the filter bed between the backwash cycles thereby regenerating the filter media surface, and increasing the length of the filter run between backwashes.
Treated unfiltered waste water may contain substantial quantities of grease and oil in addition to varying quantities of suspended solids.
Researchers in the waste water treatment field claim that the single most abundant ingredient in domestic sewage may be grease. The classes of compounds generally found in the sewage grease fraction include hydrocarbons, glycerides, sterols, fatty acids and compound lipids. Because most of these compounds are insoluble in water, they exist on an emulsion uniformily dispersed in water, or as a separate layer which in part may have coalesced into grease balls.
A portion of grease present in waste water is in the form of a colloid or a supracolloid. This colloidal and supracolloidal fraction of grease may represent as much as one-fourth to one-half of the total grease fraction present in the waste water. This grease emulsion may be further strengthened by large quantities of detergent or other emulsifying agents present in the waste water.
Quantities of grease varying at times to substantial amounts may then be discharged from sewage treatment plants, along with varying quantities of solids, as a function of design, loading and operation of these treatment works.
Waste treatment plant effluent containing significant amounts of colloidal or coalesced grease add a new and difficult dimension to the waste water filtration process.
The grease fraction will penetrate into the filter media, the interfacial film between the colloidal droplets and the treatment plant effluent is physically broken, due in part, to the tortuous path formed by the media grains. Once the interfacial film is broken the grease droplets will coalesce on the grain surface. The speed with which this interfacial film is broken is, in part, a function of strength of the emulsifier present in the waste water. This adhesion of grease to the media will form in a tenacious film around the media grain.
This tenacious grease film will cause the very fine media to adhere together forming clumps that block passage of air or water. This grease film will also cause media grains to attract and hold suspended solids to the grain surface, the film acting as a binder with other grains to block flows of air and water in all directions.
This packing of filtering media will quickly reduce the efficiency of the filter, and in turn will cause air and water rising in any cleaning cycle to flow around the tightly packed media volumes, reducing or negating the effectiveness of the cleaning cycle.
An improvement in filter underdrain structure is described and claimed in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,117 dated Oct. 8, 1974, wherein air is distributed upwardly in an even manner over the total area of the media bed to periodically remove plugged or packed areas of the bed. The underdrain also eliminates the possibility of high velocity channelling around densely packed media through uneven distribution of air or backwash liquid.
Commonly used filter underdrain structures are designed to develop even distribution of backwashing water throughout the filter area, generally at wash rates that may vary from 15 to 30 gallons per minute. These backwash rates represent a rising velocity of 24 to 48- per minute or velocities much less than 1" per second. This low energy wash velocity is easily diverted around the grease packed areas within the media bed.
A further improvement is also described and claimed in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,117 wherein the backwashing liquid flows as a series of separate high velocity liquid jets passing upwardly in a generally vertical direction, acting as augers boring upwardly, the jets being closely spaced providing a uniform cleaning action of the media.
The various grease clogged volumes within the filtering media remain generally intact following backwashing by the conventional means described irrespective of the backwash rates. These filters will quickly become clogged again. These short filter runs can be lengthened by increasing the effective size of the media, or chemical cleaning the media. Increasing the media size will sacrifice filtrate quality. Chemical cleaning the media is difficult.
The grease build up in filter media has been at times identified as slime, and operators and treatment plant designers have recommended pre-chlorination of the treated waste in an attempt to retard "slime" growth. In effect, the operator is attempting to strengthen the emulsion, and thereby allowing some grease to pass through the media. This technique is of course counter productive, and has limited success, primarily with coarse media. Pre-chlorination may cause deeper penetration of grease in very fine media.
Increasing filter media size will permit longer runs at reduced quality, but the media grains will still coat with grease causing high velocity channels during the backwash with some media loss, the filter, however, will eventually still have to be chemically cleaned.
The underdrain improvement described in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,117 backwashes fine filter media without the severe problems associated with conventional underdrains. However, after a period of time a very fine grease film will develop on the media grains. Eventually, the media must be chemically cleaned.
Filter cells are cleaned conventionally, by closing the filter drain, adding a chemical cleaning solution to the filter inlet, and/or sprinkling some cleaning solution on to the media. The cleaning solution must be worked into the media, generally by hand to insure the complete immersion of each media grain in the solution. The fact that personnel must enter the filter cell may be dangerous, yet required, and especially so if sodium hypochlorite is used as the cleaning solution. Eventually, the media may also have to be replaced.
All of these disadvantages are overcome by the present invention which is directed toward a waste effluent filter of the type preferably utilizing a particulate filter bed and an underdrain structure as described in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,117. The present invention is also directed towards waste effluent filters utilizing conventional even flow type underdrain systems.
In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention there is provided an improvement in a filter of the type generally including a tank having a lower portion, a filter bed of particulate material (media) having an upper surface, and an underdrain structure supporting the particulate material, an underdrain cavity coextensive with the underdrain structure, means for draining the underdrain cavity, means for allowing air to enter the underdrain cavity, means for forcing liquid into the underdrain cavity, means to distribute air upwardly uniformly irrespective of clogged or plugged condition, means to distribute vertical jets into the media, the improvement comprising means to force chemical cleaning solution into the underdrain cavity, means to force water into the underdrain cavity mixing the cleaning solution with water and forcing the admixture of cleaning solution and water upwardly into the particulate media following the complete evacuation of air previously trapped in uniformly spaced compartments. The invention also includes means to stop the flow of cleaning solution into the media, and means to permit the media to soak in the cleaning solution, the means to create jet augers for short periods, followed by additional soaking means to completely emulsify the tenacious grease film on each media grain, and means to backwash the emulsified grease from the particulate media and for a time period that may be longer or shorter than the normal backwash time.

Referring now to the drawings wherein the showings are for the purpose of illustrating a preferred embodiment of the invention only and not for the purpose of limiting same. FIG. 1 illustrates a filter A for filtering waste effluent prior to eventual disposal into the receiving waters. In accordance with the preferred embodiment of the invention the filter includes a tank 10, particulate media which may be but is not limited to sand 12, having an upper surface 14. There is an underdrain cavity 16, having a lower wall 18. In the underdrain cavity there is provided an outlet 20 which is connected to a backwash pump 22 having a source of clean filtered effluent 24 in a tank 26, for the purpose of backwashing the filter bed 12. A valve 20a in outlet 20 controls the flow of liquid from the underdrain cavity 16 to tank 26, and valve 20b controls flow from pump 22 to the cavity 16. A waste effluent inlet valve 30a in inlet conduit 30 adjacent the top of the tank controls the flow of treated waste effluent into the filter. A backwash outlet 27 is also located above the surface 14, a valve 27a controlling the operation of the backwash outlet, which is generally connected to a backwashed water receiving tank, not shown. Also, there is an air diffuser located over the surface 14 for the purpose of creating currents in the body of the effluent over this surface in accordance with my prior U.S. Pat. No. Re 28,458. Also, there is located an underdrain support assembly 60, in accordance with my U.S. Pat. No. 3,840,117. The surface currents hold suspended solid particles that were removed during the pulse cleaning operation which is described in my U.S. Pat. No. 3,817,378. A conduit 32 allows air to enter the underdrain cavity 16 to fill space not filled by filtered effluent 24 passing through bed 12. Conduit 32 may be extended to contain a column of liquid to correspond to the pressures applied to the underdrain cavity 16, or an air vent valve 32a may be installed at the vent outlet to permit flow of air in both directions and prevent the flow of liquid when pressure is applied to the filter effluent within the underdrain cavity.
In accordance with the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, there is provided a chemical feed inlet 40 which is connected to a chemical storage tank 34. A pump 38 in conduit 40 to force chemical 36 into conduit 40, and a valve 40a controls the flow of the chemical into underdrain cavity 16.
In operation, the treated effluent inlet valve 30a is closed, the liquid level 100 over media surface 14 is allowed to drain down and then the outlet valve 20a is closed. Pump 38 is energized and valve 40a is opened allowing the chemical cleaning solution to enter the underdrain cavity 16, and mix with residual filtered effluent 24, forming an admixture 62, see FIG. 2.
The volume of chemical solution entering the underdrain is established either by observing the change in volume in chemical storage tank 34, or automatically energizing chemical feed pump 38 for a timed sequence for a given pump capacity.
After the chemical volume has been discharged to underdrain cavity 16, the chemical feed pump 38 is de-energized, backwash pump 22 is then energized, valve 20b is opened and filtered effluent 24 is pumped into underdrain cavity 16.
Referring now to FIG. 3, filtered effluent 24 entering underdrain chamber 16, mixing with chemical admixture 62 will trap air in the underdrain compartment 50 of the underdrain assembly 60. This atmospheric air is compressed against the resistance of the particulate bed 12, and is discharged upwardly into the media bed 12, and through media surface 14.
Referring now to FIG. 4, after all the air trapped in compartments 50 is expelled into the particulate media 12, the chemical admixture 62 enters the media, this flow of liquid upwardly enters the media as a liquid jet lifting and cracking the clogged and packed sections of the media. The chemical admixture flows around the packed sections 80 and after the entire bed 12 is submerged, the backwash pump 22 is de-energized and valve 20b is closed.
Referring now to FIG. 5, the particulate media is submerged entirely with the cleaning admixture 62. All valves in and out of the filter are closed, this soaking period is timed allowing chemical admixture 62 to penetrate into clogged and packed areas 80. After a pre-set period of soaking, the backwash pump 22 is again energized and valve 22b is opened.
Referring now to FIG. 6, the high velocity jets 110 auger into the plugged and clogged sections 80 of the media 12 allowing thorough contact of the particulate grains with the chemical admixture 62.
The backwash pump is then de-energized and the media and admixture is allowed to soak again for an additional pre-set but adjustable time. After the soaking time period has expired, the backwash pump 22 is again energized, creating jet augers for a timed period followed by an additional soak time period.
Referring to FIG. 7, this alternation of jets and soaking permits each particle of particulate media in the entire bed to thoroughly come in contact with the chemical cleaning solution, thereby allowing the chemical solution to reemulsify the grease film in order that the film may be lifted off the surface of the media grains.
Referring now to FIG. 8, following the appropriate soak period time, the filter cell is backwashed by energizing pump 22, valve 20b and valve 27a allowing backwashed water chemical clean solution and the reemulsified grease to wash out to the backwash holding tank not shown.
At the end of the backwash time period an audible signal is energized informing the operator that the cleaning cycle is complete, pump 22 is de-energized, valve 20b is closed, valve 20a is opened and the filter cell is permitted to drain down, the time that is required for the water to reach the media surface 14 is an indicator of the cleanliness of the media. Generally drain down rates in excess of 15 ga./min per sq. ft. (24 inches per min.) are satisfactory. Shorter periods would indicate that the cleaning cycle should be repeated, cleaning solution strengthened, or more jet and longer soak periods be programmed.
Various chemical cleaning solutions may be used. The plating of grease and oil on to the surface of the particulate media grain is a surface phenomenon, and the surface of the grain must come into contact with a strong emulsifying agent to be removed. Soap, gelatin, and other hydrophilic sols are useful emulsifying agents.
Sodium or calcium hypochlorite are common grease cleaners usually found at sewage treatment plants. Cleaning filter media with even these very strong solutions is slow and difficult, and the high quantity of chlorine gas released can be hazardous.
In accordance with the present invention a dilute solution of a conventional chemical solution such as sodium hypochlorite with varying quantities of sodium phosphate compounds when used in the above described process, reduces the contact time required from hours to minutes in order to thoroughly emulsify the fine grease film on the sand grain. An admixture of 90% sodium hypochlorite and 10% sodium phosphate compounds can be diluted down to a range of 500 to 100 mg/l free chlorine depending on the specific grease load is an ideal filter cell cleaner. Contact time may range from only 5 to 30 minutes.
Another aspect of this invention is the simplified control of the process allowing the operator to quickly program the chemical strength, proper jet auger and soak cycles for whatever grease loads are present in the media.
A variety of control circuits may be used for controlling the sequencing of the chemical feed, water fill, jet, soaking, and backwash operations. The control system may also be modified to also feed chemical solution simultaneously with water feed, and the jet sequences in order to strengthen the cleaning solution. For purposes of explanation, a simplified control system is illustrated in FIG. 9.
Referring now to FIG. 9, a single phase input circuit L1, L2 is connected on to the circuit by connector 102. This closes circuits 104, and 106 to 108. The clean cycle is energized by depressing push button 110 which energizes relay 1CR, which in turn holds itself on through contact 1CR-1. Relay 1CR energizes sol 1, which closes inlet valve 32a and opens valve 27a, and solenoid valve sol 2, which closes underdrain valve 20b. Relay 1CR, also starts timer 1TR by contact 1CR-4. Timer contact 1TR(I) starts the chemical pump 38. At the end of the time period on timer 1TR, 1TR(D)NC will open and stop pump 38, and energize timer 2TR. Timer contact 2TR(I) will close, and pump 22 will be energized for the period of time indicated on timer 2TR. At the end of timed cycle 2TR, 2TR(D) will close and energize timer 3TR. This is the soak time, and all systems remain at rest during this timed cycle. At the end of timed period on timer 3TR, contact 3TR(D) closes and energizes relay 2CR which holds itself on through contact 2CR-4 and starts the jet timer 4TR. Relay 2CR also resets timer 3TR by opening contact 2CR-2(NC). After the timed period, usually 10 to 15 seconds, timer 4TR times out, opening contact 4TR(D) and de-energizing relay 2CR, this action automatically restarts soak timer 3TR. This circuitry directs the timers 3TR and 4TR and their respective functions to alternate indefinitely. However, each time the soak timer 3TR is energized the accumulator timer 5TR motor is driven by closing contact 3TR(I). The length of the sum of all appropriate cleaning cycles is then dialed timer 5TR. When timer 5TR has timed out relay 3CR is energized and holds itself on through contact 3CR-4, and energizes backwash timer 6TR. Relay 3CR starts backwash pump 22 through contact 3CR-1. At the end of backwash cycle, backwash timer contact 6TR(D) is closed energizing relay 4CR which holds itself on, energizes audio horn 114 and shuts all timer cycles by opening contact 4CR-1. The audio signal will remain energized until push button 116 is depressed. After the operator has inspected the filter cell, he may return the cell to service by depressing push button 112.

Bad News for Former Biglaw Partners on the West Coast
Many former partners at major law firms spend their post-Biglaw years living large — as well they should. After all, they worked very hard, for many years, to amass seven-figure, eight-figure, or even nine-figure fortunes. After leaving behind the life of billing 2000+ hours a year, they finally have time to enjoy the fruits of their labor. But not all ex-partners find themselves on Easy Street. Take, for example, these two ex-partners in California — one whose civil suit against her former firm isn't going so well, and one who might be going from Biglaw, to a small firm, to the Big House….

Billionaire Bill Gates has shared his summer book reading list, among which is included The Magic of Reality by atheist author and evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins. Gates called Dawkins "one of the great scientific writers" of all time, despite what he said is his "overzealous" and "antagonistic" view of religion.
When recommending The Magic of Reality, Gates wrote: "It's an engaging, well-illustrated science textbook offering compelling answers to big questions, like 'how did the universe form?' and 'what causes earthquakes?' It's also a plea for readers of all ages to approach mysteries with rigor and curiosity." more >>
A study that purported to show gay marriage opponents can easily be convinced to change their minds if they talk to gays was retracted after finding it used fake data.
The study, "When contact changes minds: An experiment on transmission of support for gay equality," was published in the December 2014, issue of the journal Science. It was widely reported in the media and cited as evidence that support for gay marriage is inevitable.
Donald P. Green, professor of political science at Columbia University, retracted the study after learning that his co-author, Michael LaCour, a UCLA graduate student, had used fake data. more >>
The Planetary Society CEO Bill Nye has defended his 2014 debate with The Creation Museum's Ken Ham, by stating that it allowed him the platform to tell millions of viewers why the idea that creationism is a possible theory for life on Earth is a "disastrous" thing to teach the young generation.
"In lots of states, kids are taught that evolution is just one possible theory that explains how life came about, and that creationism is another," Nye told VOX in an interview published on Tuesday.
"We need these kids to be part of the future. We need them to innovate and change the world. But if you raise a generation of students who don't believe in the most fundamental idea in biology, it's a formula for disaster. This is against our national interest, and if you raise a generation like this, they're victims," he added. more >>
Must Christians who believe the scientific evidence for an old Earth also believe in a liberal reading of Scripture? This was one of the questions The Christian Post asked of Hugh Ross, whose book, A Matter of Days: Resolving a Creation Controversy, is now in a second, expanded edition.
A Matter of Days is both a critique of the "young Earth" view, that God created the Earth and universe in six 24-hour days, and an apologia of the view that there is no conflict between science and the Bible over the age of the Earth and universe. In other words, Christians can trust both the Bible and observations about the universe using scientific methods, and non-Christians can rest assured that the Christian faith is not inherently anti-science.
"The desire for reconciliation motivated this book," Ross wrote in chapter one. more >>
Many of us have looked up at the sky at any given moment and found ourselves staring at the stars, mesmerized by the beauty that the universe has to offer. It is breathtaking!

Hard to visualize just imagining it, but seeing it is like nothing you have ever imagined before. Get ready to take a journey through some of the most spectacular views from night to day, stars, and the sky turning all different colors.
It's similar to King David when he wrote Psalms 19:1, "The Heavens are declaring the glory of God; And of the work of his hands the expanse is telling." more >>
A distinguished psychologist has argued in a recently published book that pornography and video games are leading young men into alarmingly high rates of "social isolation" and a "modern meltdown of manhood."
Dr. Philip Zimbardo, former president of the American Psychological Association and author of over 50 books, has stated that the two sources of online entertainment are harming young men mentally.
Zimbardo recently told the BBC that pornography and online video games like "World of Warcraft" have "digitally rewired" young men's minds. more >>

first : let me say I have googled.
yesterday i was browsing a very popular website for the first time (its about cars, I'm planning to buy one). what happened was i think one of the advertising caused a pop-up (another tab on android) and it automatically caused a download of an apk - without any interaction of my part.
while the download bar is showing, I quickly swipe right.
- so, does this cancelled the download? i do notice the file exist, maybe partial download?
in the security setting, I doesn't allow installation from unknown source
- so, the APK won't be installed, right?
I think it is strange that is happening, since I was using Chrome and not the provided Samsung Internet. Not starting an app war, is Firefox better on Android in stopping this drive by download? Thanks.
from the link above, it seems that androind is not investigation friendly, but from the download folder is seems the apk is MoboMarket.apk. A quick google lead me to this:
Does anyone else experience this? Drive by download of MoboMarket.apk? Thanks.

SwingPlane ProductionsRead MoreJason Blonder is a Certified PGA Class A Golf Professional that works out of Ashbrook Golf Course in Union County, NJ. Jason has been a Golf Instructor at Private Clubs in Miami, New York, and California. Most recently Jason was a Golf Instructor at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. He has had the privilege to receive tutelage from Top 100 PGA Instructors such as David Leadbetter, Michael Hebron, David Pelz, Annika Sorenstam, Bob Rotella, Lou Guzzi, and Michael Jacobs. Jason's philosophy on the full swing entitles working first and foremost on solid fundamentals (Grip, Posture / Head Movement, Arm Position, Aim / Alignment, and Impact). From there it is player dependent based on what we see in your swing that can become more effective. The short game philosophy that I teach mainly revolves around David Pelz, and Bob Rotella. The technique is most similar to Phil Mickelson's approach. Short game, especially putting is where you will always find how to consistently shoot in the 70's. Legendary golf instructor Harvey Penick said practice your short game 70 to 75 percent of the time! Consistency in the full swing first starts with solid fundamentals. The 2nd part of my philosophy stems from an impact centric ideology that develops the most effective swing plane for each student. I don't believe in making major swing changes other then helping the student to understand the nature of striking, and how swing plane is controlled. All lessons are instructed on Green Grass weather permitting. Each year I will incorporate the industry's latest tech in instructional methods. 2015 will include the addition of the Ernest Sports Es 14 Launch Monitor, and the M-Tracer from Epson. Having the latest industry tech keeps me improving every year. Technology leads the way to better instruct golf students to better understand their game, and the improvements they will need to make. My passion is to teach golf, and the entire business of golf! I enjoy growing the game, and devote myself to improving the overall golf experience from a PGA Certified Professional. I stay connected to each student through social media to keep in tune with clients exact wants. Follow me on Twitter, Face Book, Instagram, Google Plus, Pinterest, and Linked In. Search Swing Plane Productions for all my social networks. Looking forward to seeing you on the golf course!3 Golf Dr.Kenilworth, NJ US
Let's YO! YogurtRead MoreChristopher and Melanie Romano's kids have long loved the music, iPads loaded with games, and fun flavors of Let's Yo! When they'd frequent their neighborhood outpost, they felt assured they were feeding their kids a healthier alternative to ice cream. "Even in the winter, my kids wanted to go," Christopher says. "They would have gone every day if I'd have let them." When the couple decided they wanted to quit the corporate world and open a business, Let's Yo! seemed like a natural fit. They soon opened up shop, where customers self-serve 18 all-natural, organic flavors brimming with live active cultures. The flavors rotate regularly, with varieties such as sea-salt-caramel pretzel, red velvet cupcake, and California tart. Next, guests pile on premium toppings such as Andes mints, mixed nuts, and Kashi cereal—as well as about 10 different types of syrups, including Reese's peanut-butter topping and mango syrup. The staff members get fresh-fruit deliveries daily, which they chop up or splice via laser vision. Along with iPads loaded with the latest apps, Christopher outfitted the shop with a flat-screen TV and free WiFi. He chats regularly with the customers who swing by for a cup or stop in after the gym for a yogurt protein shake. And he says it's definitely a change of pace from his Wall Street job. "The hardest choice you have to make is what topping you want," he says.1701 US Highway 22Watchung, NJ US
Tiger Schulmann's Kickboxing & MMA NJRead MoreWinner of more than 100 mixed-martial-arts competitions, Tiger Schulmann shares his pride and love for fighting and self-defense with both adults and children in gyms across five states. From first-time grapplers to expert muay thai fighters, students of all fitness and experience levels are welcome to dive into a class at Schulmann's. At more than 47 locations, adults can take classes in kickboxing, MMA, and jujitsu—the last of which instills students with the skill and confidence to take down opponents of any size, strength, or telekinetic ability. Kids, meanwhile, can learn martial arts for fun, or gain useful experience in bully prevention; the kids' classes help victims immediately identify and safely diffuse situations when pitted against an aggressor.1702 U.S. 22Watchung, NJ US
Zumba Fitness New JerseyRead MoreZumba Fitness New Jersey's licensed head instructor Melissa Marcketta and her enthusiastic staff lead over thirty light-hearted, hip-swiveling Latin dance workouts per week across five locations. During one-hour Zumba with Zumba Toning classes, students become acquainted with pulse-pounding dance moves and strength training exercises that create physiques as tight and toned as a bass drum crafted from recycled Tarzan posters. The calorie-crushing combination of aerobic gyrations and shimmy-infused strength training is accessible for all ability levels. The studio employs multiple instructors to ensure varied workouts, eclectic soundtracks, and a spectrum of opinions surrounding the optimal peanut-butter-to-broccoli ratio for a postworkout sandwich.2285 South Ave.Scotch Plains, NJ US
Ayur Fit 'N' BeautyRead MoreLooking good and feeling good go hand in hand at Beauty and Wellness Center, a beauty and fitness studio with ornate tile floors and sunny yellow walls. Once guests step through the center's doors, they are greeted by aestheticians who specialize in shaping eyebrows, purifying skin with facials, and grooming fingernails, toenails, or Edward Scissorhands-style blades. There are resident massage therapists, too, who dissolve muscle tension with custom massages. Guests can also take an active role in their own wellness by attending the center's fitness classes, which include muscle-toning workouts, restorative yoga sessions, and stress-reducing meditation classes.219 Park AveScotch Plains, NJ US
The Language and Enrichment CenterRead MoreLet's Play in Italian exposes kids, young adults, and adults to the culture and language of Italy through engaging programs that range from preschool activities to conversational Italian classes. Tykes up to 8 years old sing songs, tell stories, play games, and put on puppet shows and craft fairs during afterschool programs and Mommy & Me workshops, absorbing Italian vocabulary during their formative years before gray matter turns angsty and taciturn. Parents and kids alike can expand their linguistic repertoire with colorful books, CDs, and DVDs from an online bookstore.551 Park AvenueScotch Plains, NJ US

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. Clash of Clans can get a little repetitive as you tap the screen to collect coins and magic elixir on a regular basis. And that's just the kind of work that a robot can do. Mark Petzold posted a video of a Lego Mindstorms EV3 robot playing the strategy game Clash of Clans, which is one of the most popular and lucrative titles on mobile devices. (And helped Finnish developer Supercell draw $1.5 billion from Softbank and GungHo Entertainment.) The robot's programing has it move across the iPad and tap the screen to collect resources. It keeps the game awake so that the mines don't get full and the player can maximize resource collection. It turns off the game on a regular basis to allow other players to attack the home fortress. The next experiment is to see whether the team can program the robot to do something more sophisticated, like attack enemies and donate troops to clanmates. If it can, the researchers may have found the way to climb to the top ranks of the game. We'll have to find out if the game's rules prohibit such automated play.
