Kool Keith, who's playing St. Louis on Sept. 7, is one baffling subject, an emcee whose solo releases stretching back to 1996 are some of the most visionary and/or confusing available, an emcee who, in a world of one-dimensional characters and Puffy-chested poseurs, is a genuine avalanche of personae. Is he the end-of-the-century black David Bowie? Is he Sun Ra? Is he Weird Al? Or is he just a bitch-slappin' asshole?
In his various incarnations Dr. Octagon, Dr. Dooom, Sinister 6000, Black Elvis Kool Keith (born Keith Thornton) moves from imagining himself as a gynecologist to an avenging hip-hop angel, from the CEO of a multinational to a supergalactic lover. He's been a doctor and a starman, an evil gangsta and a raunchy party purveyor. He's reinvented himself as many times as he's burned bridges or maybe reinvented himself because he's burned so many bridges and has three official Web pages (all can be accessed through www.koolkeith.net) devoted to outlining not just the characteristics of Dooom, Octagon and Elvis, but also the many comic-book personas he's yet to embody: Clean Man (quote: "I've come to get rid of grease and knock out tough stains."); Keith Turbo (quote: "Man, I could throw a 100-pound walrus through the wall!"); Fly Ricky, the Wine Taster (quote: "I did a show with the Gap Band in Miami." he's the king of baffling non sequiturs, too). In a genre in which emcees create and then cling to one particular persona, Kool Keith has a handful of them.
Wait. Or maybe that is his persona: the Schizo Space Case.
If it's humanly possible to contain Kool Keith on the written page, here goes: Kool Keith used to be in the phenomenal late-'80s/early-'90s rap group the Ultra-magnetic MCs. He stands out on their records as the squirrelly one their Flava Flav. When the UMCs disbanded, he took a couple of years' break, then started birthing the alter egos. Since then, he's done the full-lengths and guested with a wide-ranging group of kindred artists: Gang Starr's Guru, Tim Dog, the Automator, the Prodigy, Hardkiss. He's got a part on Prince Paul's most recent masterpiece, Prince of Thieves, and has fallen in with the Rawkus Records crew. As much as anyone in the hip-hop community, Kool Keith is a builder of bridges among the many camps and genres; you'll just as often find him on a major-label or electronica record as on an indie or hip-hop project, as likely to tour with an Illbient brainiac (which he is, this time around, with DJ Spooky) as with a street crew. He's a perpetual work-in-progress, but you can spot his signature immediately.
Keith's style is downright ferocious, a far cry from his days with the Ultramagnetic MCs. He'll move from cramming 10 rhymes into a space seemingly reserved for, like, two to discovering a thought and repeating it: "Is the world made of plastic? Cause that's the way it seems." He'll name-check the Staple Singers, Michelle Shocked, Marilyn Manson, Slayer in the course of a rambling rant ("Neighbors Next Door"), then slap you with (ladies, cover your eyes) "I want a Kotex with whipped cream." (Kool Keith seems to harbor a particular fascination with the menstrual cycle, along with a fondness for, uh, toilet paper.)
That's where the confusion sets in. Most of Keith's personae are, well, disgusting. Two in particular, Dr. Dooom and the personality revealed on the ultramessy Sex Style (recorded under the name Kool Keith, perhaps an indication as to who the real Kool Keith is) a modern-day Dolomite party record are toughies. Here, he simply uses his characterizations as a portal into a vivid world of bathroom humor and nasty honesty. But is he just acting when he says, with pure innocence, "I'm the man of the hour/watching girls taking a shower"?
When gang-bangin' emcees in the early "90s rationalized their violent words by saying that they were simply taking on a role, critics pooh-poohed them and said that such an explanation was a copout. But there's something about Keith's manner that is so forthcoming, treating all his disgusting facets with a wide-eyed equanimity. Take this rhyme from Dr. Octagon's Dr. Octagonecologyst (DreamWorks): "Grabbing crackers out of the refrigerator/I was a terrible masturbator/I was looking at black tail in Penthouse/since I was in the incubator." Snoop Dogg wouldn't be caught dead "fessin' to that one. Nor would Cube, or P, or DMX. Keith is Keith, comfortable, unapologetic and, well, a tad off.
On the Dr. Dooom record, First Come, First Served, he introduces the persona du jour on the first cut with a skit titled "Who Killed Dr. Octagon?" As in a comic book, one character makes a cameo in another's story; in this case, Octagon, the gyno from the previous record, is paged over a hospital intercom to visit a patient. Once inside the patient's room, the unsuspecting Octagon informs him that he'll need an operation. But wait! The evil Dr. Dooom is the patient! Curses! "You that Dr. Octagon ass motherfucker, right? I'll tell you what (sound of gun being cocked). Take two of these and call me in the fuckin' morning (BOOM! BOOM!) I'm Dr. Dooom!"

Chris Broyles
She stands, wings covering her eyes
She can hear, though she can't understand
I desire her to guide me
Lead me, show me the path to go
Whiter than snow, hair of brown yet it glows
Speak to me, angel of white
Hold me and cry for me with alll thy might
Lift me up in thy wings and reveal thy sight
Let me see that you know of my plight
I dare to be warmed by the wings
The wings with the power of flight

When the going gets tough, my instincts scream RUN. I was not blessed with strong perseverance, and still I regularly choose paths that contradict this presumably innate characteristic: marriage(s), challenging friendships, a writing career, and yes, obviously, homesteading.
The going has gotten tough and last night I had a brilliant dream that I moved in with my youngest sister in her Manhattan flat. It was fabulous and fun and oh so liberating! And then I woke up remembering that I am in fact in the middle of nowhere, having made another serious commitment, with deadlines I have been postponing because of a garden that is now withering away in the current record heat and drought. I have no friends nearby, my family is all far away, and handy hubby, with his unwavering diligence and deep stoicism, fears my tears more than a bullet to the head. When I am in such a state he looks at me like a deer frozen in headlights. But that's exactly why I married him. While I teeter at each end of the seesaw, he balances in the middle trying not to lose his cookies.
I absolutely knew it would be tough. Like I knew the Peace Corps would be tough, and getting a Master's would be tough, and trying to make it as a freelance writer, and pursuing yoga and meditation, and every other challenge I have ever taken on. You go into it knowing it will be tough, but you can never gauge beforehand which aspects will come the closest to breaking you.
In my case, it is usually a flurry of little things that seem as harmless as snowflakes, until they all fall at once and you wake up to find they have barricaded your door. I see it's already time to forget about the damn door and get myself out the closest window, quick, and then take a deep breath, trudge around to the door, and start shoveling.
Maybe you are curious how I do that? After all, failure and disappointment are universal. The way I do it is to alternate my focus from the tiniest of details to the very largest of grand truths, while trying my best to completely overlook everything in the middle. The biggest picture is: I refuse to fail, most likely because I am hopelessly unrealistic and terribly stubborn, and not because I was predestined for success. The tiniest details are best seen in pictures.

By John J. KruzelAmerican Forces Press Service
NEW YORK, Nov. 8, 2007 Bristling with childlike excitement, 6-foot-4-inch Marine Sgt. James Bane escorted his comedy hero Lewis Black down the red carpet leading to the Town Hall Theater here last night.
Bane and Black were in town for "Stand Up for Heroes," a comedy and music benefit organized by the Bob Woodruff Family Fund to raise money for injured servicemembers.
When Black was corralled by television cameras and reporters requesting interviews, Bane could no longer contain his giddiness.
"Lewis Black is one of my favorite comedians, and the fact that he introduced me to Robin Williams, who's one of my other favorite comedians, is amazing," he told American Forces Press Service.
"Seriously, in Iraq the DVDs I had were one of Lewis Black's and one of Robin Williams on Broadway," he said.
"We listened to that … constantly in Iraq," interjected Marine Lance Cpl. Daniel Hurst. Hurst was turret gunner in the unit Bane led in Anbar province.
In a slight Tennessee drawl, Bane continued, "Comedy really lightens the mood. It keeps our mind off what we're doing when we have down time.
"They didn't even know it," he said, motioning to his comedy idols Black and Williams standing just feet away, "but we had their support when we were in Iraq listening to their comedy.
"And now we're all here, and while we were there they didn't know us from Adam," he said. "It's amazing how humanity works sometimes. It's a give and take."
Bane avoided injury during his two deployments to Iraq's Anbar province, but has since developed a degenerative muscle condition that doctors say might have been caused by exposure to stressful conditions in theater.
As Bane explained how comedy made an often-trying situation in Iraq bearable, Black, finished with interviews with the gaggle of television reporters, rejoined the giant Marine.
Feeling emboldened, Bane addressed the comedians directly.
"You don't know this," he told Black and Williams, "but you guys supported us in Iraq a lot of times with your comedy. I had yours and Robin's DVDs that my mom sent me."
"That you would support us in Iraq and then again here is really amazing," he added.
"It's my pleasure," Black said. "What's funny is that I sent 12,000 of my own books to the (United Service Organizations) to distribute. … So, yes, I bought my own books to send them to the guys in Iraq.
"Then they told me somebody has to read the book first to see if it's OK before they send it to the guys who are fighting!" Black said with a tone of indignant apoplexy, channeling his comedic persona to Bane's and Hurst's delight.
"What could my book possibly do to you guys?" he said as Bane and Hurst burst into laughter. "You're in a war zone!"
Bane seemed wistfully regretful at not receiving a copy of Black's book while deployed.
"The (Marine Corps) commandant is a great guy, but the reading list we've developed through a bunch of different commandants is all about war," he told Black. "I think we could use a couple comic-relief books. I'm reading War and Peace right now."
"Oh that's upbeat!" Black intoned as the Marines laughed.
Black, who grew up outside Washington, D.C., said he visited Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the nation's capital three months ago. When speaking about visiting wounded servicemembers, the spirited comic's tone turned sobering, and he referred to the recent experience as devastating.
"All of a sudden, you see what's happening to them, and it tears you up," he said.
Minor inconveniences of civilian life become petty when compared to troops enduring life-shattering injuries, the comedian said.
"You know how you're driving around Washington, D.C., during rush hour screaming, 'My life sucks!'" Black said to American Force Press Service. "That's what we do, while these guys have so much courage and guts."
Before Black parted ways with the Marines to prepare for his performance, Bane told him, "Listening to your comedy during our down time kept us in a mindset that there is a world outside of Iraq."
As the Marine, who towers over Black, shook the comedian's hand, Hurst's eyes became fixed on a figure moving across the red carpet in his direction.
"Hiya, boys," said James Gandolfini, slapping Hurst on the arm. Hurst clearly was mesmerized as Gandolfini, who played the mafia-don protagonist in the HBO series "The Sopranos," sauntered past.
"Oh wow!" Hurst said, apparently having contracted Bane's giddiness. "That's Tony Soprano! I was just watching him on DVD this morning!"

While on my lunch break, my coworker and I found this restaurant. By far the best spot I have had pizza for lunch. The service was great, pizza was delicious and the wine option was perfect. They were very attentive and this is definitely the place to go for lunch. Molte benedizioni!

Last night pizza at Savoia: crust good, sauce tasted like a pasta sauce, cheese too hard, 5/10 for the pizza, hence 2.5 points for food. The rosato was too warm and of low quality. The arugola salad had too much lemon juice in it. The staff was friendly in a rustic fashion. No need to go back.

We tried it on a whim. My very Italian husband gave it a two thumbs up. Listening to the waiters actually speak Italian, as well as eating the delicious food we ate growing up has us coming back again & again.

I ordered delivery from here and was wowed. I could not stop saying "mmm" while I was eating. excellent value for the price, and delivery was pretty fast. Divine pizza!

I went to eat the pizza and i have to say it was disappointing. I remember years ago it was one of the best pizzas I ever had.
Posted by ninja. on 09/27/2010
i reread the raving reviews after eating the pizza...and laughed . sauce tasted like prego, crust like day old, and cheese like chucky cheese. and it was hideously small for 15 dollars. This pizza bummed me out.
Posted by anonymous on 11/29/2008
if you live in brooklyn you've definitely heard of great pizza, but for me, savoia is the winner... not only are there more options, but the options are more sophisticated. the crust at savoia's is perfect. every pizza i've had has been amazing. i prefer the pizzas that don't have tomato sauce because the sauce makes the middle of the pie soggy. try the prosciutto pie.

Clarence Day Awards
Rhodes College faculty win for teaching, research
Drs. Bernadette McNary-Zak and Jeffrey H. Jackson are recipients of Rhodes' highest faculty honors for outstanding teaching and research presented April 29 at the annual Rhodes College Awards Convocation on campus. Departmental and service awards were also presented to outstanding students, and special fellowship and internship award winners were acknowledged.
McNary-Zak, an associate professor in the department of religious studies, received the Clarence Day Award for Outstanding Teaching.
The award is given to a member of the faculty who has demonstrated excellence in teaching over the previous three years as determined by the assessments of students and colleagues, the effective use of imaginative and creative pedagogy, and motivating students to embrace a life of continuing study.
Since joining Rhodes in 1999, McNary-Zak has taught courses in early Christian literature and practice, and in the Search Program. She also has co-edited a book on undergraduate research in the field of religious studies that will be released this fall by Oxford University Press.
"Professor McNary-Zak's colleagues and students describe her as a teacher who is committed to the individual development of her students and equally dedicated to the craft of teaching," said Dr. Michael R. Drompp, dean of the faculty, in presenting the award. "The word that students consistently used in their letters of nomination to describe her was 'inspiring.' Refusing simply to pass on information in lectures, or even to pose questions in Socratic fashion, she works to cultivate probing and productive discussion among her students."
In addition, McNary-Zak is the faculty adviser to The Ruka, an intentional community of six Rhodes students dedicated to sustainable living and service. McNary-Zak encourages her students, "You can, and you will learn and question and grow."
McNary-Zak holds a doctorate from the University of Toronto, a master's degree from Catholic University of America, and a Bachelor of Arts from University of Rochester.
The Dean's Award for Outstanding Research and Creative Activity is presented to a member of the faculty who has demonstrated that research and/or creative activity is an integral part of his or her vocation and who has published or performed outstanding works over the previous three years that have gained scholarly recognition or critical acclaim.
Jackson joined the Rhodes faculty in 2000 and his "work quickly has established him as a cultural historian of note," said Drompp. Jackson's first book, "Making Jazz French: Music and Modern Life in Interwar Paris" (2003) was a finalist for Best Research in Recorded Jazz from the Association for Recorded Sound Collections, and portions of the book have been reprinted in two edited readers. Jackson also served as a consultant for a documentary film on jazz in Paris and in 2005, and co-edited a collection of essays titled Music and History: Bridging the Disciplines.
In 2007, he was named a "Top Young Historian" by the History News Network for his research on jazz. "Even more than his contributions to the cultural history of music, Professor Jackson's recent work on the Paris flood of 1910 solidified his reputation as a leading historian of modern France," added Drompp.
Jackson began research on "Paris Under Water: How the City of Light Survived the Great Flood of 1910" around the time hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans. The book is based on a wealth of original archival material, photographs, and government documents. "'Paris Under Water' has received wide acclaim in the popular press from both fellow historians and journalists and has led to dozens of invitations for talks, interviews, and panel discussions," added Drompp.
Jackson holds a doctorate from the University of Rochester and a Bachelor of Science from Vanderbilt University.
Dionne Chalmers is with the communications department of Rhodes College.

I'm a little late to the party, but I would suggest that you look into starting a gold buying business. It doesn't cost much to start, can be very profitable, and is in demand. Meanwhile, I would be careful about spending money or effort on anything that sounds too good to be true. This post was edited to remove a link. Please review our Community Best Practices for more information about how best to participate in our online discussions. Thank you.

Like the other poster mentioned there are a lot of home business scams. As far as how to start one, you can just file a fictitious name with county clerk as a sole proprietor and you are now in officially a business. Apply for a tax id (form ss4 - IRS.gov) instead of using your social security number. Or if you are just going to make money off of affiliate products and adsense then you can skip those steps. You will get a 1099 from the businesses and you would just file it under a schedule C of your income taxes.

Mike, I am working on some ebusiness affiliate marketing stuff and have found the link to this site helpful. Maybe you can find some of what you are looking for here as well... http://www.free-ebusinesshelp.com/website-development/free-web-development-tools.html
BuzGuy | Contributor | 6/6/2009 - 3:12 pm
Let's get one think clear, 99.8% of all 'Work at Home' claims and businesses are either scams or do not work; the only person making money is the one selling you the idea, concept, list, etc. A true at home job would be something along the lines of running your own website(s) selling items or providing informational content with advertisements via 3rd party sites or programs like Google AdSense. It's not to hard to start an ecommerce site if you have a concept of web development, you'll just need to find a product manfacturer that will sell you products at whole sale so you can resell them at retail online. I've seen and heard of peope being successful in doing all sorts of things, however I'm mostly in the internet field and can't go really beyond that. Just remember, if a deal or concept is too good to be true than it most likely is just that.... NOT TRUE.

The Center for Watershed Protection has issued a series of six Wetland & Watershed articles:
Southeast and Tennessee Watershed Roundtable Presentation, 2004
The U.S. Geological Survey is studying the variability of the rates and causes of landscape change in the Southeast using satellite images, field surveys, and an ecoregions-based approach. The wide ranging land cover patterns across the Southeast United States are the result of different combinations of climatic, geologic, soils, hydrologic, vegetative, and human management (land use) factors.
Full Abstract

The water resources of the Alabama, Coosa, and Tallapoosa River Basin, which drains over 22,000 square miles of Georgia and Alabama, and the Apalachicola, Chattahoochee, and Flint River Basin, which drains almost 20,000 square miles of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida, have been extensively developed to address human needs.

Here you will find guidance on local tools to protect wetlands. This website features: Wetlands & Watersheds Article Series, Wetland Slideshows, Wetland Web Resources, Wetland Research Bibliography, Upcoming Wetland-Related Events. The article series was developed by the Center for Watershed Protection in cooperation with the U.S. EPA.
The Potomac Highlands Watershed School is a place where students in the Potomac Highlands and the rest of the Chesapeake Bay region can learn about the watershed issues, and teachers can come for educational support with lesson plans and ties to curriculum standards. Just click on any door and make yourself at "home."
This Project is designed to help states and localities use smart growth tools as key strategies for achieving clean water goals. Project objectives include:
Educating local and state elected and appointed officials about opportunities to use smart growth tools to improve water quality and meet federal regulatory mandates.
Fostering interaction among smart growth, brownfields, water quality, and urban and community forestry leaders.
Showcasing and assisting specific demonstration projects that illustrate how state and local governments can use smart growth tools to improve water quality, control stormwater, meet regulatory mandates, and achieve other community objectives.
Identifying state and federal policy barriers that are discouraging the use of smart growth tools for clean water and developing solutions to overcome these barriers.
Disseminating information on available smart growth tools, projects, programs, and resources to help local and state governments achieve their water quality objectives.

(P)2006 Blackstone Audio Inc.
"... there are times when silence is a poem." - John Fowles, the Magus ^(;,;)^
"Not just for my Kids or my Youth"
I absolutely love the prose of Jack London. I wonder exactly how many people have died, pulled North to the Wild by the romantic pen of Jack London. I finished a while back (Dietz's version) and was crying as I listened to it with my kids.
I've recently become interested in listening to several classics by different readers. London was one of the first I've done this with, but it worked well so he won't be the last.
John Lee gives a very solid reading of this classic. I think this is probably the superior audio of White Fang. While I like Dietz (and haven't done anything but sampled Thomley), Lee's reading is straight forward and easily managed at hyper-audio speeds (2.5x or faster). The only downside of a narration by Lee, is it is sort of like watching a movie with Kevin Bacon. They guy is everywhere and it is weird to hear his voice in so many places.
An avid reader, I was concerned that audiobooks would be more like 3rd grade reading circle and less like a performance. I was wrong. I only wish I had started sooner!
"Top-rate story and storytelling"
I would consider it so, yes. the narrator really brings the words to life, in a way I didn't think possible.
The Call of the Wild. the stories, and the point of view from which they are told, is unique and fascinating.
The first meeting between White Fang and the "Love Master" - no spoilers here, though
I did. This is the first novel as a child that I ever read, and listening to it tok me back to third grade, and the wonder I felt as I realized that a story - jut words, mind you, no pictures - could, really could, take me to another place.
This is a must-have in every library, and every Audible collection.
"Great reading"
This is one of my favorite books of all time. I own a few audio versions and this is by far the best. Very well done.
"The fate of domesticated wolf that inducs pathos"
Courage to live
Weeden Scott, he has love for White Fang
All of them well performed by John Lee
When White Fang learned love.
I was encouraged by White Fang's way of vital living . He learned how to adjust his life with different masters and different circumstances.
"truly is a classic"
This audio has white fang and a couple other short stories. Jack London is a great writer, he picks up the story at the perfect spot and end it at the perfect spot.
When Buck first heard the "voices" from deep in the woods and you understood what the book was about. It really touched that spot in you that makes you want to get way and back to nature.
try listening to it at 1.5x the speed, I think it adds to the performance, it makes it more suspenseful and puts more an urge or eagerness in the characters to fulfill their destiny.
"Great classic"
This book had lots of action to keep a reading engaged throughout the whole story.
Of course - the ending. To avoid any type of spoiler, it's just important to read through the end.
"Beautifully written allegory"
Brilliant book on resilience in the face of exceptional tragedy, pain and cruelty. London's writing is so vivid and detailed that it far exceeds any photo or movie. The imagery envelops the reader so that you're transported to the location. The anthropomorphism gives insight into these great creatures. Yet it also reveals the genius that London is. For, in so doing, London creates a a stunning allegory into mankind.
For all of life's cruelty and indifference, there exists an indomitable and indefatigable resilience and clinging to life. Through adversity comes wisdom and majestic grade. However the path to transformation is through unconditional love. A love that is not pithy and indulgent but one of patience and tempered restraint. A love that corrects and disciplines, yet always looks at the bigger picture.
It's a very beautiful book. Especially if you are an animal lover like myself. The cruelest of the turn of the 20th century Klondike seekers is still among us- they always will be. The machismo, bravado boasters who, themselves, are more animals than men. Nothing has changed in this regard. The pugnacious still persist in the form of bros, of meatheads, of hyper testosterone-laden grunts. Yet, despite this, we see acts of extreme kindness abound. We hear stories of humankind's incredible resilience in the face of unspeakable horrors and we then recognize the God given gift of the will to live.
"What an amazing adventure!"
I read White Fang's story when I was younger. However, I really enjoyed having it read to me by the talented narrator 40 years later. White Fang's beginning was brutal, but he certainly found his much-deserved happily ever after.
"Childhood memories"
I remember the movie as a child and listening to this book brought back fond memories. I highly recommend it.
"Powerful and Moving"
White Fang was at times disturbing because of the harsh Yukon environment but the triumph of spirit over cruelty, loyalty over betrayal won in the end!

Are creation scientists REAL SCIENTISTS?
Some scientists and professors today like to say there are no true scientists who don't believe in Evolution.
They might admit there are some arguments about the exact path of Evolution. Still, they think any real scientist must believe in Evolution. Real scientists, in their superior opinion, can't believe in any sort of special creation of the universe.
In fact, they give off the impression that only Bible thumping fanatics believe God created the world.
For example, the very famous Evolutionist Sir Julian Huxley wrote, "The first point to make about Darwin's theory is that it is no longer a theory, but a fact. No serious scientist would deny the fact that evolution has occurred, just as he would not deny the fact that the earth goes around the sun." (1)
But last time I checked the word "Science" means " "Knowledge" or more specifically " "the state of knowing". (2)
I checked the definition in the dictionary. Science does not mean "Evolution."
And what about the word "Scientist?" The definition here is "a person learned in science".
Hmmm…what do you know? The definition of scientist is not "a person who believes Evolution is what happened in the past."
But too many people think you have to believe in Evolution to be a scientist.
The truth is there are thousands of fully qualified scientists who don't believe the theory of Evolution. (3)These scientists are really smart too.
They have advanced degrees from secular (non-religious) schools. In fact, more than a thousand fully qualified scientists are members of the Creation Research Society.
For example, Dr. Duane T. Gish is a Bio-chemist with a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley. Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson has a Ph.D. from Harvard. Dr. Larry Vardiman has a Ph.D. in astro/geophysics from Colorado State University.
I thought about listing the other 997, but my typing fingers are sore.
Others are working professors who have published science-shattering papers. One example is Dr. Michael J. Behe; he is professor of Biochemistry at Lehigh University.
Dr. Behe published the book "Darwin's Black Box". This book slams shut any notion that life could have come about by any accidental chemical process.
Even some scientists who are not creationists are willing to recognize that Evolution by natural selection doesn't fit the facts.
They realize that some form of "creative intelligence" must have been involved in the history of life. These sorts of scientists are not creation scientists - but they don't believe in Evolution by natural selection either.
One example is Dr. Michael Denton, M.D., Ph.D; He is a molecular biologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.
Dr. Denton wrote a book called "Evolution: A Theory In Crisis." He is certainly a fully qualified scientist who doubts Evolution by natural selection.
So - not EVERY REAL scientist believes in Evolution by natural selection.
The truth is there are plenty of fully qualified scientists who think the theory of Evolution is not supported by the facts of science.
But the attitude that Creation Scientists or Intelligent Design scientists are not real scientists still hangs around.
Not only are there thousands of fully qualified scientists who are Creationists or anti-Evolutionists today – there were many more in the past.
Creation Scientists have made the greatest discoveries in the history of science – bar none!
Now – you might be thinking: "Sure, but the reason they were Creationists in the past is because Evolution hadn't been described by science yet." But that's not true at all.
The idea that the world made itself by some natural process has been around since the ancient Greeks.
Darwin wasn't really saying anything new. Darwin was just trying to show how a natural process might work. The idea he came up with is called "natural selection".
Not one of these...
Many great scientists disagreed with Darwin back in 1859 and many very qualified scientists still do today.
You can read about Natural Selection by clicking here, about how Evolution is not a new idea by clicking here, and about Darwin and his idea by clicking here.
The truth is, the greatest discoveries in science were made by Creation Scientists in the past. These creation scientists believed they were "thinking God's thoughts after Him."
Their belief in the Bible and in God did not slow down their studies at all.
In fact – the whole IDEA of the scientific method was developed by Sir Francis Bacon; he was a Creationist. He believed the Bible showed us God's plan and purpose for life.
He also believed God showed His power in the things that were created
Bacon wrote, "There are two books laid before us to study, to prevent our falling into error; first, the volume of the Scriptures, which reveal the will of God; then the volume of the Creatures, which express His power." (4)
Dr. Henry Morris put together a list of important Creation Scientists. These guys started 41 scientific disciplines. (5)
These are some of the most important sciences ever described.
They include:
|Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
|Robert Boyle (1627-1691)
|James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)
|Gas Dynamics
|Robert Boyle (1627-1691)
|Gregor Mendel (1822-1884)
|Systematic Biology
|Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778)
But don't forget:
Just to name a few…
And what about major inventions?
Creation Scientists have discovered or invented some of the greatest scientific things in history. They include:
|The Law of Gravity
|Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727)
|The Scientific Method
|Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
|Louis Pasteur (1822-1895)
|James Simpson (1811-1870)
|Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
But don't forget:
Just to name a few more…
So – the bottom line: when someone says that Creation Scientists or Intelligent Design scientists are not REAL scientists – you know that's just not true.
Both in the past and living today, Creationists have and continue to make great contributions to science.

Pilots of at least two airline flights arriving at Reagan National airport just after midnight on 22 March were given the option of landing at the airport despite receiving no response from the tower when on final approach.
The American flight, and a United Airlines A320 that arrived shortly thereafter, both decided to land at Reagan despite being told that communications with the tower were not possible for unknown reasons. Reagan National is located in one of the most secure flight zones in the US due to its proximity to the US capitol.
Recordings between the Potomac consolidate terminal radar approach control (tracon) and an American Airlines 737-800 inbound to the airport from Miami reveal that pilots performed a missed approach after failing to receive a call back from the tower after being cleared for the visual approach to Runway 1.
After re-establishing contact with Potomac, the pilots learned that attempts to call the tower by the tracon using several different phone systems had also failed.
"Remember a year or so ago, the controller go locked out of the tower and aircraft went in taking it as an uncontrolled airport," the Potomac controller said as the American flight climbed to 3,000ft (914m) over the area. "Think that over".
News reports later suggested that the lone controller on duty may have been sleeping when the incident occurred. Transportation officials are calling for two controllers on duty at all times as an investigation continues.
The Potomac controller told a third inbound aircraft that "we've made a few calls, no one is answering" and that two other aircraft had landed there in the last 10-15min. "I'm going to take a guess and say the controller got locked out," he said. Shortly thereafter the controller said, "the tower's back in business".

Keep your cool
Here's how to cope in the summer heat - if it ever arrives.
Here's how to cope in the summer heat - if it ever arrives.
by Annalisa Barbieri Published
I ask this with hope in my heart: when the weather gets really hot, how do you keep your cool? Clothes-wise you really can't beat linen, however much the damn fibres crumple. The White Company has a sale on with some wonderful big, baggy linen trousers that have the right number of pockets and are cut to be comfortable without making you look, or feel, like a slob.
But really this isn't about clothes. It's about products that can help you cope with the heat (and rest assured that, unless stated, all those mentioned below work just as well for men as they do for women).
Certain smells are simply too claustrophobic when it gets hot. Creed makes some divine perfumes that are just right for the heat. Spring Flower is one - subtle, although too floral for men (you can't miss it in its garish pink bottle); but Royal Water, Silver Mountain Water and Zeste Mandarine Pamplemousse are all perfect for summer wearing: they make you smell expensive. Eau Dynamisante Moisturising Body Lotion from Clarins is the only lotion worth bothering about when summer comes. It is moisturising without being remotely heavy and it has a slightly bizarre cooling effect as you apply it, which is addictive. The smell wafts gloriously but unobtrusively about you all day.
I'm not overly keen on moisturisers with UV filters built in to them (another layer of chemicals on your skin), but I've been caught out when the sun has been stronger than I thought and ended up with a slapped-face look. Sisley makes a revolutionary cream called All Day All Year that protects against 90 per cent of UVA/B rays for eight continuous hours (the idea behind it is that anything that stops 100 per cent of rays, and that you wear every day, will eventually leave your skin unable to defend itself). If you already have a fav ourite cream, Clinique makes a superb product called City Block. In two formulations, sheer or super, it sits comfortably over moisturiser, irons out little imperfections in your skin (it's like a very light foundation, but men, don't be afraid of it!) and protects against the sun with an SPF of 25 or 40. A good product if you cycle or walk in to work.
The Chill Mate Cooling Neck Scarf from Beauty Naturals needs activating, but once done, it can keep you cool for a couple of hours - it has some variety of magic crystals in it. Ideal for commuting or gardening. I never use antiperspirants with aluminium in them - ergo, I never use antiperspirants, as it's the aluminium that stops the sweating - only fairly natural deodorants. But be warned. Some natural deodorants can make you smell even worse. The only three I've tested thoroughly enough to recommend so far are made by Neal's Yard Remedies (it does two types: both are excellent) and the Organic Pharmacy. The latter also makes a superb-smelling after-sun cream for when you've overdone it. But, for cooling properties, you can't beat Liz Earle's Aftersun Gel.

(Dropping our official TSG preview a little early for ya.)
Can you believe we've got the third group game coming up already?
In January, I had suggested that the Yanks would draw with England, beat Slovenia and then hammer Algeria.
I'll back well off my Algerian proclamation. With a well-earned draw against an albeit listless Three Lions squad, Algeria is very much alive for play in the next round. They'll give the Yanks a fight with their formation, their threatening left flank and because the United States can't seem to keep a clean sheet.
Donovan and company, though, should win this one.
Of importance for the Americans' defense is that Algeria, who employ an offensive 3-4-3 or 3-4-2-1 system depending o how you evaluate it, like to gun it down the flanks. The Yanks three goals conceded thus far in World Cup 2010 have come from runs and off-ball movement in the central pitch. That's a good note; a better one? The Desert Foxes goal tally at World Cup Jabulani? They haven't put one in yet and by my review haven't hit the woodwork either.
However, Algeria should not be underestimated because at present they are defending quite well–long a knock on the squad–and they've got speed to match their US counterparts.
The dangerous duo on the port side for Algeria are Wolfsburg midfielder Karin Ziani, a magician with the ball and Nadir Belhadj,1-part Maicon, 2-parts Ashley Cole and 3-parts Peruvian and Fiorentina wingback Juan Vargas (TSG has spoken about the Fiorentina man before, just YouTube him). However, the Belhadj cocktail sorts out, he's a dangerous player for Algeria. He comes forward fast, strong, with an array of breakdown moves that will have Steve Cherundolo burning fuel all day long.
The Algerians will typically try two things when attacking.
On the right, will be a garden variety diagonal run to the flag followed by a flood from the attacking midfielders of Medhi Lacen and Portsmouth Hassan Yebda followed by Foued Kadir.
The players receiving the ball, whether it be Ryad Boudebouz, who plays with Charlie Davies at Sochaux, or Karim Matmour, who plays with Michael Bradley at Bo'Munchen, have enough speed to turn the corner if the opportunity presents itself. More than likely they'll hold it up and try to work the triangles of players to free someone for a cross or shot.
How Bob Bradley deploys and instructs both his central defenders and his wide midfielders will be vital to snuffing out possession from the Algerians on the flanks.
On defense, the Algerians will settle their wingbacks in a slightly advanced position on the backline, presenting the Yanks with a 5-4-1 look as the two advanced forwards will come back and splay wide (see diagram above).
If the Yanks don't get after it on the counterattack, they're going to need to unlock a defense that's proven more disciplined than during Algeria's mundane Africa Cup run earlier this year. The one soft spot appears to be sometimes in the middle where the Foxes can be late on collapsing (sound familiar?).
To the Yanks' advantage, Algeria like to the play the up-and-down game so the Yanks should be able to show their counterattack.
Now for our customary preview. As usual we go:
TSG What We're Looking For
11 at the Whistle
TSG What We're Looking For
Can the States win the war of attrition on their right flank and Algeria's left?
Algerian's right flank attack was defined above, but all the players shift over there open a lot of turf for Algeria's two strongest, most accomplished players.
The left flank will be the battle within the battle. Wolfburg star Karin Ziani and Portsmouth and rumored-to-be Barca-bound wingbacker Nadir Belhadj have plenty of skill they carry down the left. While Ziana can beat you with the pass and wandering dribble, Belhadj will go wide often, play a cross, beat a defender, or merely line-up a wicked shot. He's got it by the way.
Knocking them back will be the likely threesome of Steve Cherundolo, Landon Donovan, and Jozy Altidore dragging into the same space he exploited against Slovenia. Cherundolo will be a busy man on the day. If he can shackle Behadj like he did Ashley Cole, the Yanks will knockout the major offensive initiative of Algeria.
•Do they have Wheaties in South Africa because the aforementioned Cherundolo and Carlos Bocanega will need to handle a flood of speedy flankers and perhaps be tasked in the attack.
Both England (Ashley Cole and Glen Johnson) and Slovenia (primarily Bojan Jokic) tried to get forward to and counter down the flanks when Algerian's wingbackers got caught up the pitch. Neither team was successful because of great interior help defending by the Algerians.
I think you'll see Bocanegra stay home more–and frankly his presence defending the US left flank scares me–but you'll see Cherundolo get forward as mentioned.
• Track Karin Ziani
Didn't TSG mention Ziani already? Yes, and we'll do it again.
Ziana is that important to mention again. He's kind of like Algeria's Monta Ellis. He'll draw the defense, but not always drop the assist.
Don't defend him and he'll light you, but his team may only win one out of ten games when he does this.
If the Yanks don't handle Ziani–meaning be aware of him, send help– they might become the one in that statistic.
•Don't be afraid to shoot and win the service in the box.
In my opinion, it was absolutely poor that the Three Lions didn't shoot more on Algeria–they resorted to "cute" cut back passes. Algeria dropped goalie Faouzi Chaouchi who bungled a Robert Koren shot to give Slovenia a win in the opening game for Bulgarian League keeper of the year Rais 'Bolhi.
Bolhi didn't look particularly strong against England, but he was only truly tested once.
Right in front of Bolhi is a very disciplined if not physically imposing side. In another poor tactical move, England often kept their best target forward Emile Heskey out wide to run up the right flank. Beyond Maurice Edu's Ranger teammate, Madjid Bougherra, the Algerians are not big and should be tested in the air.
The Foxes nearly lost their ticket to South Africa after Egypt battled back through the air to force a winner-take-all game in qualification.
Landon Donovan has the service for it and the Yanks shouldn't waste it.
11 At The Whistle
*Remember, this is what we think Bob Bradley will do.
G: Tim Howard
The skinny: Howard, upon review, looks like he took a questionable angle to the 2nd Slovenian goal so he didn't have to dive right and land on his bad rib(s). The US team has to keep the pressure off Howard and not force him into uncompromising save situations.
DEF: Steve Cherundolo, Jay DeMerit,Oguchi Onyewu, Carlos Bocanegra
The skinny: Not only can Bob Bradley be second-guessed for playing Oguchi Onyewu in both games thus far, now he can be second-guessed for getting no one else ready. In my opinion, whether Gooch merits a breather in this one or not, he has to play. Everyone else has been sitting.
As we saw with Jose Torres (and as we've seen with Onyewu), minimal game reps make for lack of sharpness.
Carlos Bocanegra cannot be turned on the outside and Steve Cherundolo has to be "smart" in his forward forays.
MID: Landon Donovan, Maurice Edu, Michael Bradley, *Stu Holden
The skinny: The question of Maurice Edu and Ricardo Clark to pair Michael Bradley in the midfield will likely come down how Coach Sweatpants chooses to deploy son Michael. If Bradley is going to attack aggressively up the pitch which may be the play against a 4-5-1 then you'll see Maurice Edu in more of the holding role you saw him inhabit in the 2nd against Slovenia.
If Bradley elects to go standard 4-2-2-2, then you'll see Rico Clark, who will also be deployed on the right to shut down Ziana on a counter when Donovan pushes forward.
I'm betting that Dempsey moves up top for this one. His replacement? I think it's either *Stu Holden, Benny Feilhaber or even DaMarcus Beasley. Holden plays defense and can be useful on set piece service. Benny's got experience and was on the field for the Game 2 comeback. Beasley? He's got the left foot and speed to deal with the Algerians on the right.
My odds distribution on this one (Holden 45%, Beasley, 35%, Benny 20%).
It's a toss-up in my mind.
FW: Clint Dempsey, STR: Jozy Altidore
The skinny: The Yanks didn't find Dempsey enough against Slovenia and I think this may the game to move him up top. Algeria can sometimes be lackadaisical in the center of their defensive third as they're late getting back from an attack. Perfect for Dempsey to sneak into the open space behind Altidore.
Altidore will drag in front of Donovan to open space. Herculez Gomez will surely be used in this game and most likely in his customary role off the bench.
• Buddle enters for Findley and the Yanks start off with Dempsey in the midfield
This is essentially the other line-up that Bradley goes with. I just don't see it because I don't think that Bradley trusts Dempsey's help over Bocanegra here when the Algerians are fresh. It's worth noting that until his offense was needed, it was Donovan over Bocanegra on the left against Slovenia, not Dempsey.
Probability: 49.99%
• Bradley elects to play two traditional fore-cheking central midfielders and Rico pairs Junior
Frankly, I think this it's another toss-up between Rico and Junior starting.
Clark can be used to cover on runs by Dolo and Donovan up the right flank and also man-mark Ziana if called on.
Probability: 49.99%
• Move Bocanegra inside and try out Jonathan Spector or "that other guy"
The US should not get beat through the air by Algeria. Having Onyewu's big body in there for this one is not essential like it was versus Novakovic for Slovenia and Heskey for England.
Probability: 35%
• Onyewu gives way to Clarence Goodson
In a World Cup where Bob Bradley has deviated from you qualifying playbook with a number of surprises, I'm not ready to discount anything with Coach Sweatpants.
Probability: 15%
Pivotal players: Steve Cherundolo, Clint Dempsey, Herculez Gomez

Letter: Ball field scarcity emblematic of Martin County's misplaced priorities
Elisa Ackerly, Indiantown
Letter: Ball field scarcity emblematic of Martin County's misplaced priorities
Martin County residents should be outraged. In 2006 when we voted to increase our sales tax by half a cent to purchase land for active and passive parks, we were led to believe that land would be acquired for much-needed ball fields. One half of the collected funds was to be used for active parks, including ball fields, and the other half was to be used to purchase environmentally sensitive land for preservation.
Of the approximately $26 million that has been collected to purchase lands for active parks and ball fields, $20 million has been spent on two projects, neither of which includes a single ball field.
So far, $10 million was spent on the boondoggle aquatics center, now called Sailfish Splash Park. The other $10 million was spent on Indian RiverSide Park, which now includes a very expensive, large outdoor marble structure called Terrazzo Plaza, to be used for "dancing under the stars." Good heavens.
Meanwhile, the shortage of ball fields for our kids in Little League, youth football, lacrosse and girls fast-pitch has reached critical levels.
The county no is longer funding maintenance of many of the existing fields, and there is less than $4.5 million remaining for acquiring needed land for ball fields.
Three commissioners — Patrick Hayes, Doug Smith and Ed Ciampi — voted to spend $20 million on the aquatics center and Indian RiverSide Park. Hayes and Smith have filed for re-election.
I can only hope that the voters of Martin County will not re-elect them.
They have blatantly betrayed the public trust and spent our taxes irresponsibly. Both Hayes and Smith have worthy opponents who would manage our money in the best public interest, instead of funding a few pet projects.
