From Eden to Exile: Unraveling Mysteries of the Bible (2007)
by Eric H. Cline
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book looks at the attempts to prove many of the most famous stories in the bible through archeology and science and how most of them failed and why.
It was well written, somewhat short considering the topic but still very informative without being to dry and, I felt very respectful towards the topic.
Each chapter covered a specific biblical event, place or object, such as the Garden of Eden, the Ark of the Covenant or the Exodus and discusses the various efforts to prove or discover their whereabouts, pointing out why they have failed, the difficulties one faces when even trying to prove something from one source and from so long ago and offers his own opinions on whether or not something can be proved and why or why not.
While I was familiar with many of these stories and some of the attempts to prove or disprove them, I still feel I learned a lot from reading this book and am actually curios to read more about biblical history.
It was a good book, well written and I would recommend it.
On the whole, the entire point of this book seems to be about the author simply getting his voice heard amongst the din of all the others attempting to undermine God's word, regardless of the fact that he really has nothing to add which hasn't been said before.
I was hoping for a study that actually delved into the Scriptures themselves rather than into the often flawed collective understanding of a handful of stories - straw-men that are easily blown away by scientist and honest Bible believing scholar alike. Is it too much to ask for a researcher to interpret the Pentateuch in light of what the other 61 books say about them? Apparently so for someone who is committed beforehand to the Bible's fallacy and only interested in finding natural explanations which meet the satisfaction of natural-minded skeptics.
Skip the book and turn on A&E or the History channel for much of the same baloney. Or better yet, skip them all and read your Bible with confidence. "For he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him." Hebrews 11:6.
His book is interesting, and at times engaging. Cline provides nuanced insights into the places and peoples mentioned in these well-known stories from the Hebrew scripture/Old Testament. One example of this is, in his chapter on Joshua and the Battle of Jericho in which he notes that a large earthquake may well have taken place in that region around the time this event was thought to occur:
"The only persistent scientific suggestion that attempts to explain the collapse of the walls of Jericho is the one that states that it may have been caused by a fortuitous earthquake since shouting and the blowing of trumpets alone will not bring down a wall. It is frequently pointed out that Jericho is located in a zone that is still seismically active, since the Great Rift Valley where Jericho is situated straddles the boundary between the two tectonic plates: The Arabian plate and the African Sinai plate."
His knowledge of geography and archaeology are expert, however, as he himself is the first to admit, he has very limited knowledge of scriptural interpretation or literature. This is one significant drawback of what is an otherwise very interesting book. Also, the insights he mentions- like the one mentioned above, or logistics of what may have been behind the Israelites crossing the red (or Reed Sea- tidal changes, etc) are certainly far from new or earth-shattering.
Cline also includes a detailed map of the ancient Mediterranean and Fertile Crescent regions, along with several very interesting pictures and diagrams of ancient artifacts, including a mummy, Sumerian clay tablets, and the dig at Megiddo, which he has explored extensively. Overall a very good book, only lacking in the above-mentioned areas of lack of a working knowledge of scripture or textual interpretation, and general dearth of new archaeological information about these biblical stories. Well worth reading, however for gleaning the nuggets of expert insight Cline offers on these stories from his fields of expertise.

Latest Stuff
From The Web
China is well-known for making duplicates and clones of certain popular consumer electronics. And their latest cloning victim has been the recently released HTC One S smartphone. This knock-off smartphone looks exactly like the original One S but this one has a different brand and has been been named as Goophone X1.
It comes with Android 4.0.4 ICS OS and dual SIM support. Also has a 4.3 inch QHD screen along with 1GHz processor, 1GB RAM and a 8MP camera on the back. It's definitely a duplicate device, but the price is not so cheap at all because this HTC One S clone costs $300.
If any of you guys are planning to get a fake HTC One S (not sure if anyone would) you can check it out at Android-sale website.

First Avenue's 20 best concerts: Readers' picks

First Avenue's 20 best concerts: The complete list
First Avenue: An archived history via flyers, riders & contracts
Top 20 best Minnesota musicians: The complete list
Even if the ticket stubs are long gone, and the T-shirt purchased at the merch table didn't survive backpacking across Europe, the memories of amazing shows at the legendary Minneapolis club First Avenue live on. Last week, we unleashed the Gimme Noise list of the 20 best concerts the venue has ever hosted, and we happily stand corrected, amended, and with our pants down a little bit. (King Sunny Ade and Nirvana were the most frequently cited omissions.) Many folks sent us lists, and others left comments describing their favorite nights at the venue -- one even mentioned a sexual conquest that followed. Here we have 20 from the readers. -Reed Fischer
20. Bloodhound Gang,

17. Boredoms, First Avenue, 3/25/08
All Boredoms shows are fantastic. Eye had a broken leg and was hopping around playing a seven-neck guitar with a huge stick and then conducting four drummers with glowing orbs. It was a fascinating use of the vocabulary they've built up, and incredibly, incredibly loud. -Ryan Olson
16. Wilco, First Avenue, 6/29-30/01
These were special shows for a couple of reasons. Wilco wasn't on tour. They just played these two shows and one at Summerfest in Milwaukee. Weeks prior to the show, Jeff Tweedy told fans to download the unreleased Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and judging by the crowd singing every word to the YHF songs, the crowd followed Tweedy's instructions. Also, because they were not on tour, these shows had a unusual looseness to them. These were also Jay Bennett's last shows with the band and his was kicked out after their next show in Milwaukee. Footage of these shows can be seen in the film, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. -"Zinovy"
15. Pulp, First Avenue, 5/26/95
I remember it for two other reasons besides it being awesome:
1. I lost my virginity to my college girlfriend Kathryn earlier in the day (sorry for the TMI). 2. Jarvis sang directly to Kathryn at the concert (I think during "Disco 2000"), we were close to the stage. -Ian Stade
14. Pixies, First Avenue, 1/26-27/92
The Pixies played the same night as the Super Bowl. Had tickets to both, the show at First Ave was far better than Super Bowl. -"Scott55116"
13. Descendants, First Avenue, 7/13/87
I think the Descendents should maybe have been on the list. Their greatest work of all time was recorded at

8. Metric, First Avenue, 6/13/09
Fantasies release tour: Emily Haines singing and dancing for almost two hours was incredible entertainment. -Raymond Albright
7. Lords of Acid, First Avenue, 7/20/95
We got there early, so we were right in the front in the middle. It was one of the sweatiest shows I'd ever been too. Also the only one I've ever attended where the lead singer (who was super hot), sang with her microphone stuck in a blowup doll's butt. -PJ Mudd
6. The Chemical Brothers, First Avenue, 4/27/97
Weezer did an outstanding concert in support of Pinkerton. They rocked, and Rivers Cuomo had a hat on and no glasses. Here is a setlist from that era. I can't imagine the current incarnation of the band plays "Tired of Sex" to start off a show. -Ian Stade
4. fIREHOSE and the Feelies, First Avenue, 10/09/90
The Feelies were headlining. There was some spat going on between the two bands and fIREHOSE, already known for their great live shows, kicked it up a notch, trying to bury the Feelies. Mike Watt broke two bass strings because he was playing with such fire...and yes, The Feelies couldn't live up. -"Zinovy"
3. Radiohead, First Avenue, 6/04/95
Thinking about it now it's pretty funny. The only reason I went was to hear "Creep" since I wasn't a fan of The Bends. Now, though,The Bends is probably my favorite Radiohead album. -PJ Mudd
2. Helmet, First Avenue, 11/21/94
1. Nirvana, First Avenue, 10/14/91
Um... Nirvana? HELLO?!?!?! - "John Stevenson 101"

RALEIGH, N.C. — Washington's men's golf team got off to a quick start before rain halted play Thursday at the NCAA Raleigh Regional.
The Huskies were 10-under as a team in the middle of the back nine, trailing just Georgia Tech (14 under) in the 13-team competition. The top five teams advance to the NCAA Championships.
"We played really well today," said UW coach Matt Thurmond. "We started off strong and made a bunch of birdies and not too many bogeys. I was happy with our play, but that also shows how well Georgia Tech played. They were exceptional."
Washington's Trevor Simsby is 4 under after 15 holes and is tied for second individually.

"Under the volcano" Randazzo by Sjalen
Randazzo Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 13 photos
Randazzo and nearby Linguaglossa is where you find the roads up Etna's northern side. The area is spectacular, with the ever looming snow capped peak of Etna always near. Not since my visit to Ireland have I seen anything as green as the slopes of Etna in May, which you can see from this picture. The mineral rich volcanic soil makes the area fertile as few others and the fruit orchards and vineyards here are always successful, making it worth the danger of living in the shadow of Europe's biggest active volcano. You do see traces of former eruptions everywhere. In fact, approaching Randazzo itself from the coast, you will see electrical poles lying zig zag across huge fields of black lava and there is even a house where one half is completely covered in lava and the other half has survived. Such is travels here. Even the outer fringes of these slopes are full of old craters overgrown with grass, such as the Moio Alcantara with its village. A truly fascinating part of Europe where you can visit a vineyard for lunch and then trample around the sulphuric grounds of the higher Etna in the afternoon.

A tie at CenturyLink Field on Sunday night will earn the Portland Timbers a trophy.
But a draw probably won't earn the Timbers and their loyal fans many bragging rights.
Should the Timbers and Sounders FC play to a draw before a crowd anticipated to reach 66,000, Portland will claim the Cascadia Cup. The supporter-driven trophy goes to the club with the most success in matches featuring the Timbers, Sounders and Vancouver Whitecaps FC.
With the benefit of four home games, Portland leads the Cup standings with two wins and two ties. A Seattle win on Sunday would push the Sounders to the top of the standings, and likely mean Portland must win on Oct. 21 in Vancouver to claim the trophy.
But the Timbers have more to gain than just the rivalry trophy. Portland hasn't won away from home all season, and this is one of their two remaining away games.
"A draw would get the job done and it would be satisfying. We will accept that with a good performance," Timbers general manager and interim head coach Gavin Wilkinson said. "… but you go into the game trying to win."
The Timbers are 7-15-9, eighth among nine teams in the Western Conference.
"We need to win on the road. We need to solve that problem," Wilkinson said. "It's been something that's been hanging over us all year and we need to get rid of it before next year."
Besides, Wilkinson said that shutting out the Sounders at home is a tall order. So sitting back to play for a draw from the start would be problematic.
"You have to go into Seattle expecting to score. Because they have scored a lot of goals at home (22 goals in 14 home matches)," Wilkinson said. "To get a result we have to put them under pressure, we have to create chances, we have to put our chances away."
The Sounders (13-7-10) have clinched a playoff spot but with four games left are battling for a higher playoff seed. Plus, they want to keep the Cascadia Cup they won last season.
Timbers captain Jack Jewsbury said the value of a draw is in the back of players minds entering the match.
"I think for us it's (about) the way we start the game. We know there's going to be a lot of emotion, a lot of energy to start. It's probably going to be a little hectic," Jewsbury said. "So we want to try to settle down into the game as best we can at the beginning. And if we can score the first goal and kind of quiet the crowd, that would definitely be to our advantage."
More prominent on the mind of Jewsbury and his teammates is the zero road wins for the Timbers in 2012.
"The reality is we don't want to go down in history as a team that didn't get a road win on the season," Jewsbury said.

Back in 2005, HipHopSite.Com pressed up a special promotional CD for pre-orders of Blockhead's "Downtown Science" LP called "The Block Is Hot Part 2″. Limited to 1000 copies, the disc included a handful of unreleased joints from Block, but more importantly a live recording of a performance in NYC. Block had mixed tracks from his first two albums together into one super-chilled out mix before a live audience, and it was captured there.
Fast-forward to 2011, Blockhead had since released two more albums, "Uncle Tony's Coloring Book" and "The Music Scene", both of which had become lexicon for this DJ. So, while out in L.A. for a gig, my manager and I constantly were listening to "The Block Is Hot Part 2″ and it's live mix, marveling how years later it still held up. I thought to myself, "wouldn't it be great if Block did another one of these mixes for his last couple of LP's?"
I called up Block and asked him if he had any plans to do so, and he seemed overwhelmed with finishing his new LP, "Interludes After Midnight". I then pitched to him the idea of doing it myself as some kind of lead-in project for the new LP. I then started to think about all of those cool bootlegs and unreleased tracks he threw out on his Phat Friend blog, and thus, "The Robin Byrd Mixtape" was born.
This mix is mainly built around "Uncle Tony's Coloring Book" (my personal favorite Blockhead LP) and "The Music Scene", and also includes a handful of semi-exclusive remixes that Blockhead did for fun, as well as a strange demo he did for some chick named Lizzy Grant (who you might recognize now as Lana Del Rey). I also threw in a handful of other beats, collabos, b -sides, unreleased cuts, and even some of his discarded "throwaway" demos, which in reality ain't all that bad. So, enjoy this 80 minute mix of Blockhead classics and rarities until Midnight arrives……. – DJ Pizzo

Two school break-ins in two days, that's what Rocky Mount police are investigating.
The first one happened Sunday evening at Rocky Mount High School. Police say they got an alarm call and during a search found Stacy Reaves going through a desk in a classroom.
Reaves was charged with felony breaking and entering and bond was set at $5,000.
Monday morning police were called to Parker Middle School where they found rear windows in two classrooms opened. Police say someone came into the rooms and vandalized them using fire extinguishers. Those responsible also stole three video projectors and two wireless VGA adaptors.
Anyone with information on this school break-in is urged to call Rock Mount police.

* Reduces capital spending forecast
* New strategy to be released by year end
* Shares rise 2 pct
CALGARY, Alberta, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Encana Corp,Canada's largest natural gas producer, reported a third quarternet profit, after a year ago loss, and lowered its capitalspending forecast as a part of its push to restructureoperations under new Chief Executive Doug Suttles.
The company said it now expected capital spending to bebetween $2.7 billion and $2.9 billion this year, down from $3.0billion to $3.2 billion.
Encana is restructuring its operations as prices for naturalgas are expected to remain low due to abundant shale gasproduction.
Suttles, a former BP Plc executive, was appointedchief executive in June. He has already begun making changes,restructuring the company's senior management and promised lastmonth to cut dry gas production and revamp Encana's businessesto cope with weak cash flow.
Suttles said on Wednesday that the final details of therestructuring and a revised strategy for the company will bereleased before the end of December.
"We are on track to announce the strategy and ensure 2014plans are built around the new strategy before year end,"Suttles said on a conference call.
Suttles said the release of the new strategy will include anannouncement on Encana's dividend, which now costs the company$600 million annually. Some analysts speculate that a cut islooming as Encana looks to free up cash to boost production.
"I think a dividend cut is highly likely," said LannyPendill, an analyst with Edward Jones. "We've seen variousindications from the management team since (Suttles) took overthat that would be something they would consider."
The company's cash flow, a key measure of its ability to payfor new projects and drilling, fell 28 percent to $660 million,or 20 cents per share, in the third quarter.
Encana however, said it expected full-year cash flow to benear the high end of its current forecast range of $1.5 billionto $2 billion.
The company reported a net profit of $188 million, or 25cents per share, for the third quarter ended Sept. 30. Itreported a net loss of $1.24 billion for the year ago period.
Excluding most one-time items, the company posted operatingincome of $150 million, or 20 cents per share. Analysts onaverage had expected 17 cents per share, according to ThomsonReuters I/B/E/S.
Encana's oil and natural gas liquids volumes in the quarternearly doubled to average about 58,200 barrels per day. Dailynatural gas production averaged 2.7 billion cubic feet.
Encana shares were up 37 Canadian cents to C$19.16 by lateafternoon on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Today a district in my area had a "garage sale" for materials they no longer needed. A good portion of it turned out to be boxes and boxes of math manipulatives. Unifix cubes, pattern blocks, Cuisenaire rods, clocks, etc. Plus center activities and games that had clearly been put together by teachers. There was also old resource materials (some with Common Core in the title and we are still a CCSS state). Some of these materials had never been opened or used. They were selling it all for nearly nothing. Someone there said that the district was adopting a new program and the teachers were told to get rid of everything.

Possible Re-branding for Cardiff International Airport
Cardiff International Airport is rumoured to be considering a radical re-branding, following in the same footsteps as the Liverpool John Lennon Airport, Cardiff could soon be named after one of its famous residents.
Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Dame Shirley Bassey are thought to be some the names on the shortlist for the re-branding, however observers are questioning the value of the project. Would Cardiff Catherine Zeta-Jones Airport really roll off the tongue as easily and command the same level of respect as Liverpool?
Jason Gill of advertising agency Peter Gill Associates told The Telegraph: "When you look at Liverpool John Lennon Airport it's worked so well because he was known throughout the world and there was a lot of affection for him with the Beatles."An airport spokesperson has defended the proposal saying it's just "part of" a wider re-branding and Julian Burrell of the Wales Tourism Alliance stated that they're "interested in marketing for people coming here, rather than going out"
There has been no official news on the airport's website or press releases stating the change as yet. For more updates on this story, all the latest news and unbeatable prices on airport parking, remember to check back with Airparks.

The cleanliness was really bad. We had to clean the bathroom up just in order to use it properly. They really need to invest in new cleaning personnel. We will never return. - Davidson Family
Aug 2013 - $23.00
The park is nice and very secluded in the woods. We were on a lake site. A few complaints would be the grass was uncut and the shower and restrooms by our site were a mess. If we walked around our loop, the next shower and restroom was perfect. Also, bring a lot of fly spray because they were everywhere. This place could be awesome with just a little clean up around the sites and grass cutting. It was very relaxing sitting out at night under the stars. I have been camping here for years and I sure hope they get it cleaned up a little to get it back like it used to be. Complaints aside, I will still return to Flint Creek. - BryanK.
Aug 2012 - $19.00
Never again! Our 1st and last trip to Flint Creek. We camped 3 nights in spot 54. It is an okay park. It isn't outstandingly clean, but it would do except for the ANTS! Our first morning we woke up to ants partying along all of our indoor, outdoor walls and seams. We bought ant spray and sprayed everything, but we still battled ants the rest of the trip. No fun. We asked other campers and everyone seemed to be suffering the same fate. The strange part is they didn't seem to care for the crumbs my kids dropped outside. They just wanted IN! We have been camping for 3 years and have never had a single ant in our camper. No bugs at all, for that matter. As if that weren't reason enough not to return, the washing facilities were dark and not very clean. I checked them out for friends who use the bath house when camping. The washers and dryers were old, dirty and exposed to the elements. The concrete floor was wet and covered with wet sand and dirt. There was no place to fold the towels I needed to wash since the machines were dirty. If I dropped anything it got filthy. Additionally, the park is very hilly, curvy and not very bike friendly: especially for kids. Younger kids can't ride without parents because the loops are large and the hills and curves prevent supervision. Even with parents though, it is a difficult ride for kids to muscle through. The beach is very small, but my kids loved it. The waterpark is in a hillside and the slides flow into a little body of water trenched off and separated from the rest of the lake. It's pretty small and is a disaster waiting to happen. I watched the lifeguards for a while. They spent more time chatting and looking at their hair than watching the kids. Some were more attentive than others. They need to weed eat some here and clean the river slime off the slides. My kids: 18 mos, 5 and 7, liked it though. Kids don't see what we see. The sites are pretty , shady and private. If you decide to risk it, pack at least 2 cans of ant spray for indoor and outdoor use. - npittman

Economic and Cultural Globalization
Cantor, Paul A., Independent Review
Cultures Merging (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2006) is an excellent book--with an unfortunate subtitle, A Historical and Economic Critique of Culture, which might lead us to expect that Eric L. Jones will be discussing the economic basis of cultural achievements in areas such as music, painting, and literature. But he rather cavalierly dismisses the "confusing use of culture to mean the arts" (p. 48). His book is essentially about globalization as an economic and cultural phenomenon, and it offers a cogent and well-documented defense of the way the market economy is spreading its influence to every corner of the earth. Thus, Cultures Merging joins Tyler Cowen's Creative Destruction: How Globalization Is Changing the World's Cultures (Princeton, N.J.: Princeton University Press, 2002) as a powerful antidote to the antiglobalization tirades that bombard us from all sides today in both popular journalism and academic discourse.
Jones generously acknowledges Cowen's work, and it is not a criticism of his book to say that he cannot quite match the verve and intellectual excitement of Cowen's arguments. Nor does Jones equal Cowen in the complexity of his view of globalization. Jones is unwilling to discuss at length the negative effects of globalization, and, unlike Cowen, he does not look at the cultural tragedies that sometimes result when modernization overwhelms and annihilates traditional ways of life. But given the antiglobalization slant of so much commentary today, one can understand why he would want to accentuate the positive and minimize the negative aspects of globalization--if only to restore some balance to debate on the subject. Accordingly, his book makes a major contribution to that debate and supplies new ammunition for anyone who wants to battle fashionable arguments against the spread of a market-oriented way of life around the globe.
What Jones means by a "critique of culture" is a refutation of the idea that culture is a factor that must be taken into account in economic analysis and in particular of the insistence that cultural considerations can and should impede the spread of modernization and the market economy into areas where traditional ways of life prevail. In short, Jones sets out to counter the widespread view that the market economy is itself a cultural construct specific to the Western world and therefore wrongly applied in other cultures, particularly in the undeveloped world. As Jones himself concisely states the position against which he is arguing, "The extreme holders of this view stigmatize any attempt to extend market economics beyond the West as disrupting other cultures for profit.... All cultures embody the inalienable rights of those born into them and deserve protection for that reason. Trying to integrate other cultures with the international economy (globalization) is wrong" (p. 7).
Jones systematically exposes the limitations of this way of thinking, arguing that "[t]his syndrome amounts to cultural relativism in holding that every culture is unique, and desirably unique" (p. 7). He shows how wrong it is to conceive of even the most traditional cultures as homogeneous and unchanging. Opponents of globalization make it sound as if other cultures around the world would be able to preserve a sort of timeless purity without the spread of Western influences. Antiglobalization rhetoric rests on a romantic primitivism, rooted in a hatred of Western civilization as corrupt and a desire to find its pristine antithesis on some remote non-European shore. But Jones's title points to an alternative conception of culture that is closer to the historical truth. Cultures are not self-contained and, as it were, hermetically sealed off from one another. Rather, when carefully examined, they generally turn out to have a complex texture and more often than not are the product of a merging of one prior culture with another.
Let me as a professor of English offer the English language as an illustration of what Jones means. …

In one week, moms will be celebrated and honored on Mother's Day. This Week's Working Woman is a mom herself who has made a huge difference in the lives of our region's neediest mothers and their babies.
The simple act of changing baby Jack's diaper changed the direction of Corrine Cannon's life. After the birth of her son, Cannon wanted to help other new moms.
"We said how can we help other families other mothers who are going through this and maybe don't have all the support we have," Cannon said.
So, she called local non-profits and was stunned by their greatest need.
"We were really shocked to hear diapers and we heard it over and over again," she said.
Cannon says she had no idea food stamps don't cover diapers, and how much families living in poverty struggle with the cost. Her new mission was to help all moms bond with their child.
"If you have a baby with diaper rash it's not gonna happen because that baby's in pain and you can't say to a two week old it's gonna get better," Cannon said.
Cannon started collecting diapers, but never intended to start a non-profit.
"We thought we would work with the Diaper Bank that already existed because of course there had to be a Diaper Bank and we found out the closest one was in Pennsylvania," she said.
From that idea, The D.C. Diaper Bank began. It delivered more than 125,000 diapers to D.C. area families in just the first year.
Cannon helped launch the National Diaper Bank Network. She left her job in communications and now runs the D.C. Bank full time.
"It's not a need that's gonna go away, so I think that while I'd love to be out of business, I'd love in a year for this to no longer be a need, I don't think that's a reality," Cannon said.

1993 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB
I purchased the vehicle in September of 93 and it is still running strong. I drive 70 miles everyday and haul my dogs on the weekend, so the truck gets little down time. The vehicle is scheduled for it's first brake job in one week and has logged over 208,000 miles, mostly highway. The original exhaust system has a small rattle where the catalatic converter broke a weld on the shield last week, so the vehicle has costed well below the average. Outside of the normal oil changes and tire replacements, this truck has been major repair free, and Iam excited about that aspect.
My favorite has to be the comfort of the seats and ease and placement of the accessories. Everything is at your finger tips with little eyes off the road time.
My only suggestions would be to improve the gas mileage, 18-20 mpg average is more like a big truck than a small vehicle. It has been in that range since day one. The other area is have a better hill climbing capacity. Even on the interstate any small rise in the road will slow down the vehicle
1993 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Regular Cab SB
I have this to say about my Ranger. They don't make them like they used to. This truck is the most solid thing I've ever owned. I was only 20 when I bought it and I was a little afraid to jump into a new truck that had totally been changed from the previous year. Best $10,270 I've ever spent. Rangers RULE the light truck world! I plan on rebuilding it from the ground up and driving it until I can drive no more.
suspension, handling, and comfort.
A little more horse power and torque. Maybe 15-20 more.
1993 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Extended Cab SB
I bought this truck brand new nearly 15 years ago and put every mile on it myself. It will turn to 00000 again for the 2nd time soon. I've only had to do regular maintenance with one or two rare exceptions over the last 15 years. This is an amazing little truck & still looks great. My car guy tells me I should easily get another 5 years out of it, if not more. Mileage is what they are advertising for "fuel efficient" trucks & SUVs right now. My sister keeps trying to get me to buy a new car so my young niece can have this truck. That says it all.
The whole package. I would have loved a sunroof, but I really can't complain.
1993 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Extended Cab SB
This has been an awesome truck. I now have over 440,000 miles on it and still drive it everyday with no problem. I have installed two clutches, 2 water pumps, air conditioning, and 2 alternators. Not bad for many years and miles of use. Nothing major and never any engine work.
1993 Ford Ranger XLT 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB
I've had my Ford Ranger 4X4 for almost a year and a half now and it has been ok to me. The engine, even though its a 93, still runs well, just a little rough on idling (probably from cheap gas and the ethanol they've started adding to fuel). It is reliable in the sense that it will move me around, but there is a serious lack of space. I'm 6'0" and I feel like I'm in a clown car when I drive. There's no way to lean the seats back enough. I enjoy driving my truck but I have to say that there are plenty of problems running around in it. I take care of my first car, but there's an oil leak I can't fix, an a/c that will cost half what the truck is worth to fix (after compressor), and a bad fuel guage
Really fun to drive, perfect window height to rest your elbows on when you got the window open. Indoor button to activate 4x4 makes the slick roads so much nicer when it rains without having to go mess with the tires
An easier clutch! I know it's a truck but still, if you're stuck in traffic the push from the clutch pedal will literally bruise the bottom of your feet! Definitely needs some room inside for the driver, I feel squashed when I'm alone in a truck and that is just wrong.

"Frontier sensation" Puerto Villamil by Assenczo
Puerto Villamil Travel Guide: 28 reviews and 267 photos
Isabella Island is the largest of the Galapagos Islands and the only one that stretches over the Equator; sounds beckoning but this is not similar to a "mitad del mundo" trip. Most of the island is off to visitors and the rest is covered by guided walks only. Another "nuisance" is the equatorial sun than burns mercilessly at sea level and hikes in the interior can be quite demanding physically. A trek to the nearest volcano is advertized by the owner of Rincon de George Hotel but most of the time at least in January the summit is covered by cloud, so visibility is practically nil. At the same time the town itself is an experience of remoteness in its own right. The unpaved streets are traversed mostly by jeeps that give this extra frontier feel. Even the lamp posts are made of some crooked wooden branches for more authenticity.
The most attractive feature is the lack of visitors – the whole beach of many miles is practically empty and the only company of the sun worshiper are the iguanas dragging their feet and tail on the white sand and the odd pelican fluffing up his plumage. As far as catering goes, this is not a place for gourmet lovers. The expectation is that as an island located in the middle of the largest ocean on Earth, its restaurants would burst with wide variety of fish or seafood dishes. Well, there is no variety; moreover there is practically no fish. The ultimate nonsense that one might hear in a restaurant is a suggestion "to open a can of fish". The authorities are trying to eliminate the fishing business and turn the fishermen into taxi-boat drivers and they have succeeded. Probably, there is not enough fish to satisfy the cruise ship public and leave enough in the sea so it still retains its original bounty on which all the other creatures depend.
- Pros:Further than most people would go
- Cons:Your chance to leave is at 6 o'clock

Reading this page brings back great memories from visit on Isla Isabela. Some people I talked to also had problems with the chartered afternoon boat (I left with the 6am boat).

text: Beyond the terrible title, I am looking for insight and experience about Triumph's Tiger. There have been several incarnations of the Hinkley Tiger (I'm skipping the classic Meridan bikes here): 885 Tiger (aka Steamer) 955i Tiger (aka Girlie) 1050 Tiger 800/xc Tiger 1250 Tiger Explorer I am a big fan of all of these for good looks, riding position and the triple motor in whatever version it comes. This leads me to my question -- which one would you choose as your only motorcycle? Some caveats: Power is important -- I like a bike that will move Ability to ride long distances comfortably -- I know people ride their sportbikes for thousands of miles and survive... I'm just not one of those people! Luggage options -- if you are going to travel long distance, you need some stuff and a place to keep it Weight -- I decided to let the 1150gs go because it was heavy around town and didn't have the zip of a triple; good power to weight ratio is important Two-up capability -- for when the wifey wants to ride, I need a perch fit for a queen Affordability -- maintenance, mpg, insurance and purchase price Which would you choose? I see plenty of 1050s for sale for respectable prices, and every once in a while a sweet 955i Girlie will catch my attention, but are these the bikes to seek out if it is to be the only bike? ... or I could go for the blackbird that recently popped up nearby!

Structural genomics for membrane proteins

Structure-based drug discovery has proven useful in improving and shortening the drug development process. The approach of structural genomics to study a large number of targets in parallel has been commonly applied to protein families and even whole genomes. Paradoxically, although membrane proteins represent the largest type of drug targets, up to 70% today, determination of their structure has been modest compared to that of soluble proteins. Because membrane proteins are important for drug discovery an emphasis has been placed on developing technologies and methods to determine membrane protein structures. Several structural genomics initiatives have been established, focusing on the structural biology of membrane proteins.

Anyone able to help - see the attached picture. There are small "water droplet" markings on the picture (see top middle and also middle of beach)
They seem to be most noticeable at smaller apertures (f16 or higher)
I thought they may be dust - however I'd think dust would appear as black. Anyone have any thoughts / experiences to share.
Canon 5d mark ii
28-105mm canon lens
These look like typical dust bunnies
The others look more like droplets than dust, one possibility is residue after a wet clean
Have you recently acquired the camera, was it bought new or has it had a previous owner.

My reason for not dealing with smaller store is that I always want no hassle returns policy. I will not feel comfortable returning it to Aden in case there is some small thing that is not right (and I am very picky). But, with big box stores or Henry's, no problem. Even Vistek would give a little bit of hassle when I returned a Nikon lens (55-200vr), with which I cannot make up my mind if I want the 70-300vr. So, I'll deal with any big box stores only.
I've never had any issue dealing with Aden's return policy and I also consistently find I actually need to return less to Aden - probably because the big box stores all try to sell you the items returned by some previous customers first.
Just saying.

Whittington/Pany is our market leader in the auditing discipline. While most textbooks use a cycles approach, Whittington/Pany enlists a balance sheet approach making it particularly straightforward and user-friendly in addressing the auditing profession's risk-based approach for financial statement audits as well as for integrated audits of financial statements and internal control. The 18th edition covers the latest auditing standards to meet the needs of the current marketplace. The authors are well connected both Ray Whittington and Kurt Pany served as members of the Audit Standards Board, and Whittington recently completed his term as President of the Auditing Section of the American Accounting Association.

A rough precedent for the approach here suggested is the National Cooperative Research Act of 1984, 117 which provides for single damages plus attorneys' fees (with certain exceptions) in cases arising out of joint research and development programs that have been properly reported in advance to enforcement agencies. 118
Pursuit of the economic goals of antitrust requires a blending of efficiency and consumer welfare. While antitrust law seeks to realize all types of efficiencies, production and innovation efficiencies, which lead to technological progress, contribute the most to social wealth enhancement, and, therefore, should be the key objectives of antitrust policy. It follows that the immediate interest of consumers should sometimes be deferred to the achievement of production or innovation advances. But, ultimately, consumers must receive an appropriate share of the wealth created by such efficiencies, which is the share that would be allocated to them through a competitive market. Thus, provision must be made for the eventual restoration of competitive market conditions. These economic objectives can be implemented by placing greater emphasis on stability and predictability of antitrust rules, preventing exclusionary conduct that threatens production efficiency, and recognizing a limited efficiencies defense when otherwise restrictive conduct would enhance production or innovation efficiency.
Helpful comments were received from Airlie House conference commentators Walter Adams, Phillip Areeda, and Jerome Hochberg, and also from Scott Bales, Robert Bone, Ronald Cass, Jane Cohen, Clayton Gillette, Michael Harper, Robert Lande, Robert Marks, Stephen Salop, Louis Schwartz, Robert Seidman, Ingo Vogelsang, and the participants in the Boston University Legal Theory Workshop. Thanks are also due to Beth F. Kirk for valuable research assistance, and to the Centre for SocioLegal Studies of Oxford University, where I did some of the thinking for this chapter.

STATIC: It's Year-End Radio Quiz Time
Yes, boys and girls, it's that time again: A chance to look back at the year that was and hope we never see its likes again. It was a busier-than-usual year in the radio world, as station bosses coped with a new ratings system and slashed budgets. Let's look back together, shall we? Here's a quiz about the highs and lows of 2009 on the airwaves:
1. Veteran local radio personality "Happy Hare," who passed away in January, loved to tell stories about his encounters with famous people. Which of these isn't one of his favorite tales?
a. The one about being the first disc jockey to discover the '70s band Bread when he happened to hear them play at a birthday party in Las Vegas
b. The one about how he discovered Elvis Presley was a natural blond by coming across him nude in a dressing room
c. The one about the time he got Richie Valens to perform at a San Diego high school
d. The one about how he helped persuade a crowd of crazed Beatles fans in Cleveland to calm down so the band could perform
2. These morning-show sidekicks were all laid off in 2009. Which one managed to return to the airwaves on the same show?
a. Sean "Sonic" Leckie, Channel 933
b. Zethian Oats, Rock 105.3
c. Mahoney, 91X
d. Ruth 66, KGB
3. The CEO of the Clear Channel company, which owns several radio stations in San Diego, tried to rally the troops after massive layoffs with what uninspired verbiage about how they hadn't been doing a good enough job?
a. "Unfortunately, we've failed to move the company forward. That ends now."
b. "The tools are here. The support is here. It's time to use them to create lasting competitive advantage for our customers ---- and for our company."
c. "We must view the future as an opportunity to right the wrongs of the past and move forward toward a more profitable tomorrow."
d. "We have been in danger of sinking due to poor decisions at every level. I ask you to help us swim."
4. Last spring, an 18-year-old man who claimed to be the next "Mr. Rogers" hit the local airwaves to promote a celebrity-studded Escondido fundraiser. He also hooked up the "Jeff & Jer" show with a famous and reclusive singer who appeared on the air to talk about the event, which turned out to be a hoax. Who's the singer who may (or may not) have been on the radio?
a. Bob Dylan
b. Morrissey
c. Elvis Costello
d. Prince
5. People in the radio thought a certain music format was gone for good. But new station 105.7 The Walrus resurrected it this year and zoomed toward the top of the ratings. What's the music format?
a. Classical music
b. Classic rock
c. Oldies
d. Pop standards
6. Radio stations don't have any problem airing songs like Rihanna's "Russian Roulette," about suicide, and Miranda Lambert's country song "Gunpowder and Lead," about domestic violence and revenge. But what do they often insist on bleeping out of the classic Eagles song "Life in the Fast Lane" because it's considered offensive?
a. The line "Surely make me lose my mind," which insults the mentally ill
b. A five-letter word that begins with "b" an is commonly heard in kennels
c. A seven-letter word that begins with "God" and is frowned upon in church
d. The line "There were lines on the mirror," which refers to cocaine
7. The public-radio station KPBS-FM didn't expand its daily "These Days" public-affairs show to three hours. Why?

I have had a hard time finding LC snacks and this hits the spot every time.This review is specific to Snack Pack, Cheddar, Pepper & Pumpkin Seed
March 11, 2014Reviewer: A customer in WashingtonThese are a bit expensive for how much is in a bag, but I still buy a truckload of them every time I make a Netrition order. They're surprisingly tasty, despite their simplicity, but what seals the deal, for me, is how incredibly convenient they are to grab when I'm on the go.This review is specific to Snack Pack, Peppers, Almonds & Cheddar Cheese

text: I recently purchased Nokia Asha 201 and while reading the manual I came across the part where it was written that this phone supports video streaming and downloading. So to try out this feature, I recorded a video and upload it on YouTube. But this didnt happen. I also tried downloading a video from YouTube but it too wasnt possible. I contacted the Nokia customer care centre and they said that since Nokia Asha 201 is new phone, YouTube must not be recognizing it as a valid design. But on researching I found out that Nokia Asha 201 doesnt support video streaming and downloading. Can anyone tell me if there are any alternative softwares for video streaming and downloading?

Whereas the BeagleBoard and BeagleBoard xM were more like a desktop computer, the BeagleBone was a little bit more focussed on makers and robotics, Jason Kridner, Beagle guru at TI, told Electronics Weekly. Now, with the BeagleBone Black, Texas Instruments has squeezed the video and much of the performance of its more powerful BeagleBoard computers into its credit card sized BeagleBone format…
Black includes the HDMI interface (in Micro, Type D connector form) of the two BeagleBoards, at the same time as selling for half the price of the original BeagleBone: $45 instead of $90.
How can it have a video interface and cost less?
"A big price difference is the RAM. We were using DDR2 in BeagleBone, now we are using the more commodity DDR3 at 400MHz. We saved a lot of money there," said Kridner. "Having 2Gbyte of on-board flash is saving money too. Our requirement is to provide software to run out of the box and, before, we were shipping with a microSD card. Now we have on-board flash which is cheaper, and faster because of the wide data bus and a new controller."
While Beagle products have previously been marketed towards hobbyists, students, and other 'makers' as embedded controllers, Kridner is emphasising the educational possibilities of BeagleBone Black.
"It is hard to compete with Angry Birds. It is not enough only to be running scratch. Kids need do more than just engage with sprites on the screen. You need to give them a reason to get down to the low level," he said. "For young people to get really engaged, they need to set something high and set something low in the real world. It is really empowering when they see this happening. You need to get kids engaged in robotics."
It is possible, according to Kridner, to be toggling an LED in under a minute from turning the board on.
For just such activities, there are four LEDs on the board, plus the two I/O headers into which wires can be poked for direct connection, or into which capes can be plugged.

For more sophisticated programming, the computer also ships with a C compiler and a Python interpreter.
