A trial of continuous intravenous heparin in the prevention of deep vein thrombosis was undertaken in 48 patients who had suffered a myocardial infarction. Of the 24 control patients who did not receive heparin seven (29%) developed calf vein thrombosis as detected by the radioactive fibrinogen technique. None of the 24 heparinized patients had any evidence of venous thrombosis. This difference is significant at the 1% level.

Author's Note: It's been so long, I had to go look to see how I formatted these!
Here is the answer to the burning question of why Sephiroth is afraid of chocobos.
Disclaimer: Final Fantasy 7 does not belong to me and it's sad that I have to go look up things that I've forgotten the names of.
Intelligent Conversation
"This... is a wonderful chocobo!" - Chocobo Billy
Commander Genesis Rhapsodos was in an unusually good mood.
It was the first thing Cloud noticed when he'd dragged himself out of bed at an ungodly hour that morning. Yawning and rubbing his eyes, he'd stopped short in surprise at the sight of his mentor dancing about the apartment, singing some sickeningly cheery song at the top of his lungs. Genesis greeted him in a flourish of twirls and waltzed him into the kitchen, where he'd set out a plate of fresh pancakes. They ate, Genesis chattered nonstop, then got ready to head out for their mission at seven o'clock.
Commander Genesis Rhapsodos was in an unusually good mood.
Cloud was terrified.
"My friend, your desire is the bringer of life, the Gift of the Goddess," Genesis sighed contently. "Isn't it a glorious day?"
"No," Sephiroth grumbled, glancing up from his book to give the redhead a death glare. Genesis smirked back.
Not for the first time, Cloud felt like he was being left out of some inside joke between the two Firsts. Occasionally Genesis would sit down and tell him humorous and embarrassing stories of things that happened to him, Sephiroth and Angeal (but mostly Sephiroth and Angeal) when they were younger, but it wasn't the same as actually being there. And since Cloud liked to think of himself as being relatively close to the commander, he couldn't help but feel that he was still missing an entire part of Genesis' life. Some experiences just beyond training, LOVELESS, and being accused of stealing the redhead's favorite can opener.
He might have been worried about the success of their mission today, what with Genesis' giddiness and Sephiroth's pouting, but his mental capture card was a tad bit laggy.
The truck they were riding in hit a rut, pitching the three of them in random directions. Instead of screaming at the driver to watch where he was going or risk being put through the windshield, the Red General simply straightened his coat and flicked his hair out of his eyes. "What's the matter, Sephiroth?" he asked, an unmistakably teasing note carrying his voice.
"Someone's grumpy today. Could it be that you're not looking forward to the mission?"
Sephiroth's expression was so icy, it was a wonder everything within a twenty-mile radius hadn't frozen solid. Chuckling, Genesis turned to look out the window.
Squirming uncomfortably in his seat, Cloud finally mustered the courage to speak up. "Is... is there something I should know?" he squeaked.
"Well, you see—"
"No," Sephiroth interrupted, cutting Genesis off. Lips pressed in a thin line, he pulled his book closer to his face, as if that would help shut the rest of the world out.
Cloud didn't feel any better about the situation.
"I guess you'll just have to see when we get there," Genesis shrugged mysteriously. "While we wait, I have a game I can teach you. It's called Tanks, and basically what you do is..."
And so the next hour found Cloud attempting to play a surprisingly simple yet incredibly challenging strategy game that consisted of a lot of finger-tapping, mental math, and him losing. He was going to have to take the game back to Midgar and play it with Zack to redeem himself.
Finally, the truck ground to a halt and the driver cut the engine, signaling that they had reached their destination. Cloud followed Genesis out of the vehicle, yawning and stretching his legs. When he glanced around, he was surprised to see white wooden fences surrounding a large red barn. The pattern of a chocobo had been done on the roof with the shingles.
"A chocobo farm?" he asked, giving his mentor a confused look.
Grinning, Genesis nodded. "Chocobos are the only way to get where we're going in the swamps," he replied, leading the way towards the barn.
Cloud brightened considerably. "I get to meet a real, live chocobo?"
"You sure do, Feather-Head."
He chose to forgive Genesis for that one. Just this once.
As they waltzed through the barn doors into the surprisingly tidy chocobo stable, Cloud happened to catch sight of Sephiroth. The general trailed behind them, looking more nervous than the he'd ever seen before. Because Sephiroth just didn't get nervous. He faced off monsters and Wutains and Hojo's leftover lunch without batting an eyelash. What on Gaia could have him so frightened then?
"Ooh, look at this one, Sephiroth," Genesis oozed, stopping by one of the stalls. The chocobo in question cooed softly at Genesis, poking its head over the gate.
Cloud hurried over to the stall and stared, wide-eyed, up at the bird, who regarded him with an equally fascinated gaze. Lifting a hand, he gently stroked the chocobo's feathers. "Hello, there."
"Wark," said the chocobo.
Giddy with a childlike glee, Cloud twisted to look back at Sephiroth. "Do you want to pet him?"
The general stiffly shook his head and didn't budge from the center of the aisle. Cloud's grin faded a little.
"Why not?" he asked. "He's friendly."
"'Course he is! One o' the finest birds I got!"
An old man wearing glasses thick enough to rival Hojo's came into view, shuffling down the barn aisle. One of the straps on his overalls was broken and several pieces of straw were embedded in his beard. As he passed Sephiroth, he clapped a hand on the general's arm.
"Good t' see ya again, General," the old man said and all three SOLIDERs flinched at the volume of his voice.
"It's… good to see you too, Bill," Sephiroth replied.
"Now you, Sonny," Bill said, shuffling over towards Cloud, "have a good eye for chocobos. Don't ya?"
Cloud blinked. "Um, d-do I?"
"Just like m' grandson. Billy. Yeah, Billy sure knows how to spot 'em."
Chocobo Bill continued to talk as he approached the stall, but instead of addressing Cloud, he directed the conversation to the chocobo in the stall. The bird tilted his head curiously while Cloud felt the beginnings of utter humiliation being to set in. He yelped when Bill's hand came down on his head and roughly ruffled his hair.
"Zanzibar here is a champion," Bill informed the chocobo—Zanzibar, apparently. "Won me, uh… two… four… eh, lots o' money in dem races, y'know!"
Cloud cleared his throat. "Excuse me, sir? I'm over here."
"Eh?" Bill leaned closer to the chocobo. "What's that, Sonny?"
"I'm over here," Cloud repeated. He waved a hand in front of the old man's face. "That's the chocobo."
Bill finally looked at Cloud. He squinted, then glanced back at Zanzibar. Then again at Cloud. Realization dawned on his wrinkled face and he laughed. "What're ya doin', wearing that chocobo getup then, Sonny? Don't confuse an old man!"
Heat burned Cloud's cheeks despite his attempts to choke his mortification. "Sorry, sir."
"You can ride ol' Zanzibar here, jes' 'cos I like ya, Sonny."
And with that, he waddled off to drag Sephiroth down the aisle, yammering noisily about a quiet bird he had for the general.
Cloud buried his face in his hands, wishing someone would just put him out of his misery. Of course, the someone who frequently threatened to do that was standing right beside him, undoubtedly biting back barely contained mirth. Not seconds later, right on cue, Genesis sputtered with laughter. Cloud banged his head against the wall.
"Shut up!" he snapped through his gloves. "You've never been confused with a chocobo before."
That only proceeded to make the commander laugh harder. "Y-You're right, I haven't!" he managed, snorting. "But i-it's hilarious!"
Cloud gave Genesis a pointed shove, unable to look up at him. "Go saddle your chocobo," he muttered.
"Do you want me to ride you, Zanzibar?"
Fumbling with the latch on Zanzibar's gate, Cloud slipped inside the stall and slammed the door shut behind him. Genesis' giggles trailed behind him as he made his way to the other end of the barn. Zanzibar turned his head to gaze down at Cloud.
Cloud couldn't help a smile, reaching out to pat the bird. "I guess at least you're a good-looking chocobo."
Fifteen minutes later, Cloud had Zanzibar ready to go and the two were best friends. The large yellow bird followed Cloud amicably down the aisle as they headed outside. Cloud pulled Zanzibar to a stop, however, when he noticed Sephiroth. The general was pressed against the back wall of a stall, paralyzed as a large chocobo stretched out its head towards him.
"Is everything alright, Sephiroth?" Cloud ventured to ask.
Sephiroth's expression stated that everything was clearly not alright, and Cloud tied Zanzibar outside and entered the stall. The chocobo's attention was immediately diverted to Cloud and the general sagged against the wall in relief. Cloud gave the chocobo a scratch on the head and was rewarded with a heavy sigh as the bird leaned into the touch.
"What happened?" Cloud asked. The chocobo didn't seem ill-tempered. In fact, it seemed rather affectionate in Cloud's unprofessional opinion. He staggered backwards when it shoved its head against his chest.
Sephiroth's entire form tensed and he gave Cloud a guarded look. After a moment, he said, "I don't like chocobos."
"They're kind of smelly, but once you get past that—"
"It's not the smell," Sephiroth interrupted. His eyes darted left and right, checking to see if anyone was within earshot, but the barn was empty. "They're big… and they have large claws and sharp beaks…"
Several seconds ticked by until the tension snapped and Cloud's blank expression turned to one of astonishment. "You're afraid of chocobos?"
Grimacing, the general nodded.
"But why?" Cloud had to ask, bewildered. "You're so much more powerful than they are."
And he was, too. But Sephiroth looked down at his feet and folded his hands. "I was feeding a chocobo greens once and it… bit me. It hurt." Sephiroth's head snapped up and his eyes bored into Cloud's. "I wanted the bird eliminated at once, but Bill said 'no.'"
"You can't just kill a chocobo because it bit you."
"It was obviously vicious!"
"It wasn't vicious," Cloud argued. "I'm sure it didn't mean to bite you. It was probably just hungry and your hand was in the way."
A statement like that was risky with the general. It insinuated that Sephiroth had somehow done something wrong, however unintentional. But Cloud was something of a SOLDIER (and chocobo) whisperer and could get away with things like that. Besides, he hadn't outright stated the general was crazy. That was Genesis' job.
Sephiroth considered. "I suppose…" he said at length. "Perhaps you're right."
"You haven't had any altercations since, have you?"
The general shook his head.
A smile spread across Cloud's face. "See? Chocobos are good animals. And I think this one just wants to be friends."
The chocobo turned his head and warked at Sephiroth, causing the general to jump and plaster himself up against the wall again. Cloud sighed.
"Would you like me to get him ready for you?"
Sephiroth nodded. "Thank you, Strife." He inched his way out of the stall, then inched his way around Zanzibar, keeping a respectable distance between himself and the chocobo. "Genesis has always enjoyed teasing me about the chocobos."
Well, of course he did. It was Genesis.
"Is he not afraid of them?"
"He likes chocobos, I think," Sephiroth mused. "He likes dragging me along on missions that involve chocobos. I suppose he'll be dragging you on them too, from now on."
Thus, Commander Genesis Rhapsodos stayed in an unusually good mood for the remainder of the day.
A/N: Oh my goodness, I had way too much fun with Chocobo Bill. Genesis and Cloud will have to return to the chocobo farm just for him :P
I hope you all had a pleasant Thanksgiving!

Four-time world champion Alain Prost's Formula One team has gone into receivership with debts estimated at $30 million.
However, Prost hasn't given up hopes of finding a sponsor to save the team.
The Reuters news agency says a French court will monitor the Prost Grand Prix team for six months because of the extent of its debt.
Prost told a French television program that he was going through "a really dreadful time at a personal level", works seven days and week and was unable to take holidays.
"In 1983 and 1984, press reports said that I would never be world champion so I went through hard times as a driver," Prost said. "But this is worse."
Reuters says Prost was quoted as saying he "would be personally very proud" if his team was in Melbourne for the opening round of next year's championship, on March 3.

"Hey whats up?" Shaden's casual voice came smoothly through the phone.
"Whats up!" Tristan snarled. "You let her get away!"
"No..." Shaden began.
"Idiot! You realize she's probably in the hands of those ingrates the people call superheros!"
"She's with--"
"Shut up! You've messed up, making a spectacle of yourself in that stupid fight."
"Shut UP!" Tristan practically shouted. "I saw the entire thing, you idiot. You began that blasted fight by jumping at them!"
"I did!"
"Thats not the way we do things. You needed to be more careful. This mission required stealth and superior thinking. Tell Alleya and Drexlin, I want you three to make up for your mistake. Find that girl. Bring her to me. Tonight!"
"Fine." The phone clicked silent. Tristan slammed it down on its stand and sighed.
"Why is it so hard to find good help these days?" He asked no one in particular. An older man, coming into the room, slowly backed away again, the boss was in a bad mood, and it wasnt good to cross him.
If you want something done right, you do it yourself. I'm going after the girl. Tristan thought, grabbing his coat and leaving the house.

Should the manager of Krakow's Hotel Stary feel too pleased by the wave of publicity generated by it being chosen for England's base in Euro 2012, he might wonder what happened to some of the others who welcomed the Three Lions into their en-suite rooms. In the space of a month, the Royal Bafokeng in Rustenburg changed from "the best base camp ever" (a description by Fabio Capello) to a mind-numbing, luxury prison miles from anywhere. Some of the FA's other bookings have been, well, Fawlty.
1986 World Cup
El Camino Real, Monterrey
The Camino Real is a big red tower in the mountains above Monterrey. It was from one of its balconies that Bobby Robson was photographed head in hands, staring blankly down to the swimming pool below, apparently contemplating suicide. He was actually listening to Whitney Houston on a Walkman but it didn't stop the "Fool on the Hill" headlines. The problems started when the FA allowed the players to choose where they wanted to stay in Mexico City. Footballers do not, as a rule, do research and they selected the Valle de Mexico because it was the nearest to the training ground. It was also on an industrial estate, it was also choked by traffic. It also possessed no flushing lavatories, nor much in the way of hot water. The Holiday Inn nearby must have seemed like the Waldorf Astoria and very soon Robson was checking his team in. And with Argentina to come they would soon be checking out again.
Check me in Rooms from £85
1982 World Cup
Los Tamarises, Bilbao
This time, the FA was determined to get it right even to the extent of manager Ron Greenwood testing the mattresses himself before confirming the booking. The hotel was secluded and by a cliff face to deter Basque terrorists and photographers. Unfortunately, the first photograph sent back when the contract was announced was of a dead dog on the rubbish-strewn beach opposite the hotel. There were views but only to a refinery. Despite all this, Los Tamarises was probably the most successful base England have employed. It was the first to have a games room and the owner gave each player a bottle of wine from the year of their birth. More importantly for the FA, nothing leaked. Kevin Keegan, stricken with back spasms, borrowed the receptionist's Seat 500 to drive 200 miles to Madrid airport to fly to Hamburg for treatment without any journalist finding out. Eight years later they were not so lucky.
Check me in Rooms from £60
1970 World Cup
The Guadalajara Hilton
The most disastrous journey of the lot ended up with the world champions checking into a motel before their quarter-final with West Germany because nobody at the FA had thought to book ahead. Worse, the Germans' wives and girlfriends were already there. By this stage, Sir Alf Ramsey had offended just about everyone in Mexico, insisting that fresh fruit (one of the country's principal exports) be flown out from England. Their first base in Mexico, the Parc des Princes, was a good, if unfinished, hotel but when England moved north-west to Guadalajara, they found themselves in the city centre, kept awake by what Francis Lee called: "Crowds of 4,000 banging on the wrecks of old cars." Ramsey allowed the players to sunbathe "for 15 minutes on your front and 15 minutes on your back" and had his trainer, Harold Shepherdson, enforce it with a stopwatch, galvanising the poolside with shouts of: "Turn over."
Check me in Doubles from £66
1950 World Cup
Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro
The journey was bad – a 31-hour flight, with five stops – and arriving was worse. The beach front which proved so attractive to his players that Walter Winterbottom declared it off limits after 10am. "The kitchens were dreadful," the England manager recalled. For the encounter with the US (an unthinkable 1-0 defeat), England moved to Belo Horizonte, where the 15-mile journey to training saw the team clutching handkerchiefs to their mouths to keep out the dust.
Check me in Sadly, it's long gone
2006 World Cup
Brenners Park, Baden-Baden
The players were 12 miles up the road in the Schloss Bühlerhöhe, where Nelson Mandela had once stayed and which was now preparing to welcome Theo Walcott with a request for extra baked beans. The wives, girlfriends and families stayed in the Brenners Park. They actually drank far less champagne than was claimed and probably the most distasteful thing that happened was Gary Neville's dad jumping on the tables to belt out an impromptu version of "God Save the Queen" after England beat Trinidad & Tobago.

2000 Euros
Balmoral Hotel, Spa
A decade on and the lessons of the Is Molas had been learnt. England booked the entire hotel and, with the ludicrous optimism Kevin Keegan was famous for, they booked it for the entire tournament. It earned the Balmoral £250,000; more than any other country paid for its accommodation. The players, though, were unimpressed. Fortunately, England's ineptitude, particularly against Romania, who were staying in a three-star hotel for a third of what England paid, ensured that they would be swiftly checking out.
Check me in Rooms from £120
1990 World Cup
Is Molas, Sardinia
Until England checked in, the Is Molas was best known as a venue for golf's Italian Open. Then it became notorious for a three-in-a-bed romp with an entirely innocent hotel employee called Isabella Ciaravolo, who claimed she could not possibly have gone to bed with any member of the England squad because they were so ugly. The story is now regarded as grotesque fabrication but it stemmed from the FA's error in not booking up the whole hotel to keep it free of the press, some of whom were determined to humiliate Bobby Robson. It meant that Bryan Robson's attempt to quietly meet up with a faith healer to cure an Achilles problem was on the front page of The Sun before she made it to reception. Any good work she achieved was wiped out by Paul Gascoigne breaking a bidet which fell on Robson's foot during a "social event" in his room.

The House version of this bill had 2 good COBRA provisions - one for people who are laid off (they would only have to pay 35% of their COBRA premium for 12 months) and then another provision for people over 55. The latter would have to pay the full premium but could pay it up to age 65, not the 18 months. As a local county government employee who is facing a layoff and library closings, this would be a big help. I actually work for 2 counties and both are planning RIFs at the end of the fiscal year in June. My husband's a vet and he has VA but I, a cancer survivor, can only use the COBRA if I lose my job (oh, yeah, that's another problem..the pre-existing condition thing that excludes cancer survivors). Anyway, 35% of a $550 premium would help a lot.

dleeo Review
I have always been pleased with the quality of the merchandise I have purchased from overstock. This ottoman is a huge exception.We have had it for 6 months. The wood on the trays has splintered and looks terrible. Trim pieces have fallen off leaving exposed nails. The supports for the cushions have shifted and are now at angles. And there is a corner piece of a tray that has splintered off and now there is a jagged exposed edge of wood. The quality and workmanship is shameful. I would not recommend this piece to my worst enemy. If you decide to purchase it, I dont think there is any chance it will stand the test of time.

The floors and walls are incredibly thin, we can hear the loud neighbors below and beside us, the conversation in the street, the engines in the drivethroughs beyond. This is not a resort part of town; it feels unsafe. We usually like to go for walks, but we don't even want to try it. People cruise on battered bikes through the parking lot asking for change. The building is very seasoned, and definitely in poor repair. The floor in the living room is soft and creaky in just about its entirety. The fold-out bed is stained. The bedroom window was broken upon our arrival, and kept falling open. The bathroom stinks. The showerhead was so crusted with mineral deposits from the hard water that it barely worked. The shower plumbing pulls out of the wall a good 5mm with no effort. The bathroom faucet didn't want to turn on. Housekeeping threw away a shoelace we had left on the counter. The kitchen materials and utensils are cheap. The fridge doesn't want to close. The outdoor pool is unheated and filthy. There is no hot-tub.
Other than that, the staff was nice. We did not notice any bugs, though after looking around when I first walked in, I had mentally prepared myself for them. It's a place to stay if you're not too picky and you sleep like the dead.

Sandalwood (Santalum album L.) is a small evergreen, hemi-parasitic tree having more than 18 woody species that are mostly distributed in South Asia, Australia, and Hawaii. Its economical importance is derived from its heartwood oil, but its difficult propagation makes conservation essential. The percentage of seed germination is poor and germination time exceeds 12 mo. Vegetative propagation can be accomplished by grafting, air layering, or with root suckers, but the production of clones is inefficient and time consuming. In this study, efficient plant regeneration was achieved via indirect organogenesis from callus cultures derived from leaf tissues of S. album. Callus induction was induced when leaf explants were cultured on woody plant media (WPM) supplemented with either thidiazuron (TDZ) or 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The highest callus frequency (100%) was obtained when leaf tissue was cultured in the medium with 0.4 mg l−1 TDZ. Fresh weight (141.92 mg) and dry weight (47 mg) of leaf-derived callus were highest in the medium supplemented with 0.8 mg l−1 TDZ. The WPM medium supplemented with 2.5 mg l−1 BA + 0.4 mg l−1 NAA was the most effective, producing the highest number of shoot buds (24.6) per callus. The highest number of shoots per explant (20.67) and shoot length (5.17 cm) were observed in media supplemented with 5.0 mg l−1 BA and 3.0 mg 1−1 Kn, respectively. Plantlets were rooted on WPM medium with different concentrations of indole-3-butyric acid (IBA). The highest rooting percentage (91.67) and survival were achieved using WPM media with 1.5 mg l−1 IBA. All plantlets survived acclimatization, producing healthy plants in the greenhouse. The current investigation showed efficient in vitro regeneration capabilities of S. album from leaf explants.

Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God, by Eric Metaxas, WSJ
Adam Rifkin stashed this in The Universe
Stashed in: Interconnectedness!, Religion, Awesome, The Internet is my religion., So you're saying there's a chance..., Most Important Stash Ever, Spirituality, Science, Mathy, SETI, Astrophysics
Whoa, these odds are ridiculously low... Reblogging:
The odds of life existing on another planet grow ever longer. Intelligent design, anyone?
By ERIC METAXAS
Dec. 25, 2014 4:56 p.m. ET 2272 COMMENTS
In 1966 Time magazine ran a cover story asking: Is God Dead? Many have accepted the cultural narrative that he's obsolete—that as science progresses, there is less need for a "God" to explain the universe. Yet it turns out that the rumors of God's death were premature. More amazing is that the relatively recent case for his existence comes from a surprising place—science itself.
Here's the story: The same year Time featured the now-famous headline, the astronomer Carl Sagan announced that there were two important criteria for a planet to support life: The right kind of star, and a planet the right distance from that star. Given the roughly octillion—1 followed by 24 zeros—planets in the universe, there should have been about septillion—1 followed by 21 zeros—planets capable of supporting life.
With such spectacular odds, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, a large, expensive collection of private and publicly funded projects launched in the 1960s, was sure to turn up something soon. Scientists listened with a vast radio telescopic network for signals that resembled coded intelligence and were not merely random. But as years passed, the silence from the rest of the universe was deafening. Congress defunded SETI in 1993, but the search continues with private funds. As of 2014, researches have discovered precisely bubkis—0 followed by nothing.
What happened? As our knowledge of the universe increased, it became clear that there were far more factors necessary for life than Sagan supposed. His two parameters grew to 10 and then 20 and then 50, and so the number of potentially life-supporting planets decreased accordingly. The number dropped to a few thousand planets and kept on plummeting.
Even SETI proponents acknowledged the problem. Peter Schenkel wrote in a 2006 piece for Skeptical Inquirer magazine: "In light of new findings and insights, it seems appropriate to put excessive euphoria to rest . . . . We should quietly admit that the early estimates . . . may no longer be tenable."
As factors continued to be discovered, the number of possible planets hit zero, and kept going. In other words, the odds turned against any planet in the universe supporting life, including this one. Probability said that even we shouldn't be here.
Today there are more than 200 known parameters necessary for a planet to support life—every single one of which must be perfectly met, or the whole thing falls apart. Without a massive planet like Jupiter nearby, whose gravity will draw away asteroids, a thousand times as many would hit Earth's surface. The odds against life in the universe are simply astonishing.
Yet here we are, not only existing, but talking about existing. What can account for it? Can every one of those many parameters have been perfect by accident? At what point is it fair to admit that science suggests that we cannot be the result of random forces? Doesn't assuming that an intelligence created these perfect conditions require far less faith than believing that a life-sustaining Earth just happened to beat the inconceivable odds to come into being?
There's more. The fine-tuning necessary for life to exist on a planet is nothing compared with the fine-tuning required for the universe to exist at all. For example, astrophysicists now know that the values of the four fundamental forces—gravity, the electromagnetic force, and the "strong" and "weak" nuclear forces—were determined less than one millionth of a second after the big bang. Alter any one value and the universe could not exist. For instance, if the ratio between the nuclear strong force and the electromagnetic force had been off by the tiniest fraction of the tiniest fraction—by even one part in 100,000,000,000,000,000—then no stars could have ever formed at all. Feel free to gulp.
Multiply that single parameter by all the other necessary conditions, and the odds against the universe existing are so heart-stoppingly astronomical that the notion that it all "just happened" defies common sense. It would be like tossing a coin and having it come up heads 10 quintillion times in a row. Really?
Fred Hoyle, the astronomer who coined the term "big bang," said that his atheism was "greatly shaken" at these developments. He later wrote that "a common-sense interpretation of the facts suggests that a super-intellect has monkeyed with the physics, as well as with chemistry and biology . . . . The numbers one calculates from the facts seem to me so overwhelming as to put this conclusion almost beyond question."
Theoretical physicist Paul Davies has said that "the appearance of design is overwhelming" and Oxford professor Dr. John Lennox has said "the more we get to know about our universe, the more the hypothesis that there is a Creator . . . gains in credibility as the best explanation of why we are here."
The greatest miracle of all time, without any close seconds, is the universe. It is the miracle of all miracles, one that ineluctably points with the combined brightness of every star to something—or Someone—beyond itself.
Mr. Metaxas is the author, most recently, of "Miracles: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How They Can Change Your Life" ( Dutton Adult, 2014).
Our very own Sergey Z argues against this article:
The argument, used in the article is not new. This card is commonly thrown and it has no legs at all.
1. Odds can be calculated only before the event. The probability of the event, which already happen is exactly one. The odds of me winning a lottery are tiny, but the odds of a lottery winner winning the lottery is 100%
We are alive, so we are the lottery winners. The fact of the existence of life proves it is possible.
2. This argument is based on some kind of back of the napkin probabilistic models of the universe, which are not really proven to be complete of correct. Basically, it's age old argument: "The world is so complicated, that it can not exist without the designer... creator...god" Problem with this line of arguments, that similar, back of the napkins calculations will explain why we all need to accept the very specific version of god.
"If the universe was designed for life, it must be said that it is a shockingly inefficient design. There are vast reaches of the universe in which life as we know it is clearly impossible: gravitational forces would be crushing, or radiation levels are too high for complex molecules to exist, or temperatures would make the formation of stable chemical bonds impossible... Fine-tuned for life? It would make more sense to ask why God designed a universe so inhospitable to life." ~Robert Park
"Consider the basic premise of intelligent design: that the universe is so complex that it is unlikely to have occurred without a designer. How much less likely must be the designer than that? If you are willing to engage in special pleading for the designer, then why not for the universe? After all, at least we have evidence the universe exists." ~Mark VandeWettering
Our knowledge of the universe has not increased at all.
Our collective story about the universe keeps adding pages.
It has always been a fictional story where we are the authors
calling it now. 2015: Year of Absurdity
In many ways tibetan dzogchen is the method to get to the experience of the absurd.
I have been talking about this with my wife about our children.
They are watching Rudolf and being told Christ is a savior son of God (not by me). Adam (4yo) says snow monsters are not real right?
Sure there are no snow monsters. Yet a deer with a lightbulb nose is ok, but Santa gaining 100lbs on Christmas Eve makes no sense.
So in a few years Santa is no longer real, but Jesus is real.
That is absurd.
From day one people pick and choose what is real or not real.
There is only one view that cannot be disproved and explains everything. It is all a massive collection of story with no inherent existence.
As in Harry potter death scene, "is this all in my head? Is it not real". Silly boy, of course it is all in your head, that doesn't mean it is not real.
Well now you get to the nature of reality. What out of everything is real?
Theory: life is a consequence of light.

I heard screams of pain come from in the house. By the concentration on Ara's face, I suspected he was invading a Shadow's mind, killing it. I shivered. Ara growled at an invisable foe, and then we all walked outside of the room, with a protective ring of fire around us all.
I carried the Radio in my arms, with it shaking. Ara glanced at me. Shadows tried to run and get me, but the fire burn them and bite them. Ara made another Shadow scream with pain. "Wow...scary." I whispered to him. Everyone sat down in the hallway, thinking of where to go. Ara looked down at me, face full of sadness and concern.
"Are you scared of me, Flamara?" he asked me, his voice full of emotion. He sounded genrally concerned. I touched my finger to his cheek, and let out a little laugh. "I love you, and I'm not scared of you, but the Shadows are! I would never be scared ofthe one I love." I told him quietly. He smiled at me, one of his fangs just showing. I laughed. I noticed he had a small red heart on his neck. I showed him it in a piece of mirror.
"Must be what's joining us. The image of a Halfling on your hand, and a Fireheart on my neck." He smiled. I kissed the heart on his neck. In my head, I heard the Shadow's voice.
Bright Flame, come to us. Eternal Flame, bring the Halfbreed if you must, but come to us. Come to us.
I shook my head, and thought to myself, about a poetic term my friends had said to me. 'Flamara is filled with the Eternal Flame, she is filled with love!' they had said. I told Ara of what the Shadow had said to me. He growled, and pulled me to him, my head against his chest. "I won't let them take you. I won't." he whispered as he stroked my hair.


text: Java Basics – Pointers and Object Variables -Topic 3 `Or else it doesn't, you know. The name of the song is called "HADDOCKS' EYES." ' `Oh, that's the name of the song, is it?' Alice said, trying to feel interested. `No, you don't understand,' the Knight said, looking a little vexed. `That's what the name is CALLED. The name really IS "THE AGED AGED MAN."' `Then I ought to have said "That's what the SONG is called"?' Alice corrected herself. `No, you oughtn't: that's quite another thing! The SONG is called "WAYS AND MEANS": but that's only what it's CALLED, you know!' `Well, what IS the song, then?' said Alice, who was by this time completely bewildered. `I was coming to that,' the Knight said. `The song really IS "A-SITTING ON A GATE": and the tune's my own invention.' - Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 1 Object Variables object variables are declared by stating the class name / data type and then the variable name – same as primitives – in Java there are hundreds of built in classes. – don't learn the classes, learn how to read and use a class interface (the users manual) objects are complex variables. They have an internal state and various behaviors that can either change the state or simply tell something about the object public void objectVariables() { Rectangle rect1; Rectangle rect2; // 2 Rectangle objects exist?? // more code to follow } CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 2 Onto Object Variables public void objectVaraiables() { Rectangle rect1; Rectangle rect2; // 2 Rectangle objects exist?? // more code to follow } So now there are 2 Rectangle objects right? Not so much. Object variables in Java are actually references to objects, not the objects themselves! – object variables store the memory address of an object of the proper type not an object of the proper type. – contrast this with primitive variables CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 3 The Pointer Sidetrack A pointer is a variable that stores the memory address of where another variable is stored In some languages you can have static variables (nothing to do with the static keyword) and dynamic variables of any type Example C++, can have a, integer variable or a integer pointer (which is still a variable) int intVar; // a int var int * intPtr; //pointer to an int var CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 4 Pointer Variables in C++ int intVar = 5; // a int var int * intPtr; //pointer to an int var intPtr = new int; /* dynamically allocate an space to store an int. intPtr holds the memory address of this space*/ 5 intVar CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science ?? 0x00122155 intPtr ?? space for an int in memory assume memory address 0x00122155 5 Pointer Complications C++ allows actual variables and pointers to variables of any type. Things get complicated and confusing very quickly int intVar = 5; // a int var int * intPtr; //pointer to an int var intPtr = new int; // allocate memory *intPtr = 12; /* assign the integer being pointed to the value of 12. Must dereference the pointer. i.e. get to the thing being pointed at*/ cout << intPtr << "\t" << *intPtr << "\t" << &intPtr << endl; // 3 different ways of manipulating intPtr In C++ you can work directly with the memory address stored in intPtr – increment it, assign it other memory addresses, pointer "arithmetic" CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 6 Benefit of Pointers Why have pointers? To allow the sharing of a variable – If several variables(objects, records, structs) need access to another single variable two alternatives 1. keep multiple copies of variable. 2. share the data with each variable keeping a reference to the needed data other ptr data not shown other data ptr not shown sharer 2 CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science shared variable sharer 1 7 More Benefits Allow dynamic allocation of memory – get it only when needed (stack memory and heap memory) Allow linked data structures such as linked lists and binary trees – incredibly useful for certain types of problems Pointers are in fact necessary in a language like Java where polymorphism is so prevalent (more on this later) Now the good news – In Java most of the complications and difficulties inherent with dealing with pointers are removed by some simplifications in the language CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 8 Dynamic Memory Allocation Your program has two chunks of memory to work with: Stack memory (or the runtime Stack) and Heap memory When a Java program starts it receives two chunks of memory one for the Stack and one for the Heap. Things that use Stack memory: local variables, parameters, and information about methods that are in progress. Things that use Heap memory: everything that is allocated using the new operator. CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 9 The Picture Stack Memory s x y Heap Memory String Object myChars He l l o void toyCodeForMemory(int x) { int y = 10; x += y; String s = new String("Hello"); System.out.println(x + " " + y + s); } CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 10 How Much Memory? How big is the Heap? System.out.println("Heap size is " + Runtime.getRuntime().totalMemory()); How much of the Heap is available? System.out.println("Available memory: " + Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()); CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 11 Pointers in Java In Java all primitive variables are value variables. (real, actual, direct?) – it is impossible to have an integer pointer or a pointer to any variable of one of the primitive data types All object variables are actually reference variables (pointers, memory addresses) to objects. – it is impossible to have anything but pointers to objects. You can never have a plain object variable CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 12 Back to the Rectangle Objects rect1 and rect2 are variables that store the memory addresses of Rectangle objects right now they are uninitialized and since they are local, variables may not be used until they are given some value public void objectVaraiables() { Rectangle rect1; Rectangle rect2; // rect1 = 0; // syntax error, C++ style // rect1 = rect2; // syntax error, unitialized rect1 = null; // pointing at nothing rect2 = null; // pointing at nothing } null is used to indicate an object variable is not pointing / naming / referring to any Rectangle object. CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 13 Creating Objects Declaring object variables does not create objects. – It merely sets aside space to hold the memory address of an object. – The object must be created by using the new operator and calling a constructor for that object public void objectVaraiables() { Rectangle rect1; rect1 = new Rectangle(); Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(5,10,20,30); // (x, y, width, height) // rect1 and rect2 now refer to Rectangle objects } For all objects, the memory needed to store the objects, is allocated dynamically using the new operator and a constructor call. (Strings are a special case.) – constructors are similar to methods, but they are used to initialize objects CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 14 The Yellow Sticky Analogy Rectangle Object rect1 x: 0 y: 0 width: 0 height: 0 Rectangle Object rect2 CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science x: 5 y: 10 width: 20 height: 30 15 Is this easier? Pointers in Java – primitives one thing, objects another? can't get at the memory address the pointer stores as in C++ although try this: Object obj = new Object(); System.out.println( obj.toString() ); dereferencing occurs automatically because of the consistency the distinction between an object and an object reference can be blurred – "pass an object to the method" versus "pass an object reference to the method Need to be clear when dealing with memory address of object and when dealing with the object itself CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 16 Working with Objects Once an object is created and an object variable points to it then Object may be manipulated via its methods Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(); r1.resize(100, 200); r1.setLocation(10, 20); int area = r1.getWidth() * r1.getHeight(); Rectangle r2 = null; r2.resize( r1.getWidth(), r1.getHeight() * 2 ); // uh-oh! Use the dot operator to deference an object variable and invoke one of the objects behaviors Available behaviors are spelled out in the class of the object, (the data type of the object) CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 17 What's the Output? (Or, do you understand how object variables and pointers work?) public void objectVariables(String[] args) { Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(5, 10, 15, 20); Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(5, 10, 15, 20);; System.out.println("rect 1: " + rect1.toString() ); System.out.println("rect 2: " + rect2.toString() ); System.out.println("rect1 == rect2: " + (rect1 == rect2)); rect1 = rect2; rect2.setSize(50, 100); // (newWidth, newHeight) System.out.println("rect 1: " + rect1.toString() ); System.out.println("rect 2: " + rect2.toString() ); System.out.println("rect1 == rect2: " + (rect1 == rect2)); int x = 12; int y = 12; System.out.println("x == y: " + (x == y) ); x = 5; y = x; x = 10; System.out.println("x == y: " + (x == y) ); System.out.println("x value: " + x + "\ty value: " + y); } CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 18 Equality versus Identity A man walks into a pizza parlor, sits down, and tells the waiter, "I'll have what that lady over there is eating." The waiter walks over to the indicated lady, picks up the pizza that is resting in front of her, and sets it back down in from of the man's table. confusion over equality and identity identity: two things are in fact the same thing equality: two things are for all practical purposes alike, but not the exact same thing == versus the .equals method – use the .equals method when you want to check the contents of the pointee, use == when you want to check memory addresses CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 19 The Garbage Collector Rectangle rect1 = new Rectangle(2,4,10,10); Rectangle rect2 = new Rectangle(5,10,20,30); // (x, y, width, height) rect1 = rect2; /* what happened to the Rectangle Object rect1 was pointing at? */ If objects are allocated dynamically with new how are they deallocated? – delete in C++ If an object becomes isolated (no longer is in scope), that is has no references to it, it is garbage and the Java Virtual Machine garbage collector will reclaim this memory AUTOMATICALLY! CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 20 Objects as Parameters All parameters in Java are value parameters The method receives a copy of the parameter, not the actual variable passed Makes it impossible to change a primitive parameter implications for objects? (which are references) – behavior that is similar to a reference parameter, with a few minor, but crucial differences – "Reference parameter like behavior for the pointee." CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 21 Immutable Objects Some classes create immutable objects Once created these objects cannot be changed – note the difference between objects and object variables Most immediate example is the String class String objects are immutable Why might this be useful? String name = "Mike"; String sameName = name; name += " " + "David" + " " + "Scott"; System.out.println( name ); System.out.println( sameName ); CS 307 Fundamentals of Computer Science 22

DIY Green Valentine
|Posted on January 29, 2016 at 10:40 AM
|comments (0)
Valentine's Day is not far away and I'm in the process of creating some cards and projects for both family members and friends. This plastic bag heart wreath is one of my favourite projects and even though I can now make it completely in red, I still love the look of this one with the bit of white. In the past besides the plastic bag wreath I've made book photo frames, Valentine clocks, and heart topiaries, among other things. This year I'm frantically trying to finish up my Valentine cards - all I have time (and resources) to make.
Here's a sampling of what I've made so far:
Yup, the old 'key to my heart' card. I didn't sell off all my keys - I know better than that. (By the way the keys I did sell went to the cafe at Black Squirrel Books to be used as part of their decor!). To get back to this card, I did keep a few on hand in case I had a brainstorm on recycling these (or upcycling - whatever). The paper is from some junk mail I keep getting from an insurance company. I added the message and that was about it. Oh, I stuck the key on with paper glue but need to get something sturdier as it (the key, I mean) keeps slipping!
I have a hoard of old stamps that I've got - see, I just can't throw anything away!! Anyway, this one goes to my daughter who is the queen of my heart. The little guy who is the king is getting a few pop-up cards that I made after reading a book on how to make these. But - I digress and will post later this week.
To make this card, I just arranged the stamps on a piece of card paper, cut out a heart on another piece of cardstock and voila - a card was
born - made!
I didn't make this one - my crafty friend, Sean made it - but I thought I would post it so yo can see how simple and elegant your homemade cards can be. Just bits of little Valentine shapes (the one inside is actually cut from a doily.
Easy peasy, no??

For my American and French visitors, I think you can use ideas from my previous DIY Canada Day post to create your own holiday decorations and crafts. There are oodles of ideas all over the web for July 4th and Bastille Day celebrations. I posted some links on my other blog. But before dashing off to the shops to get the items you will need, take a peek inside your recycling bins, cupboards and drawers to see what you can recycle to get the same effect. To make great decorations and ideas for these holidays, take a look.

Okay, so I've been pretty lazy about blogging but I'm just getting back on my feet and am feeling frisky again. My OC article on keeping your new year's resolutions by going green was published yesterday. Here's the link.
So because my energy level is not quite up there (I'm saving it for a new project!), I checking out the web to see what others are doing by recycling creatively. And, of course, I keep folks on the web who are doing wonderful and very professional looking recycling projects (none of this macaroni on cardboard recycling crafts!).
And speaking of recycling - here's another example (amazing) of what you can make from the pictures of magazines, calendars, or card--ta dah--clever DIY candle votive covers.
The clever designer behind this idea is Claire over at Fellow, Fellow. Here's the lutorial.

I don't know about you but I still get quite a few Christmas cards in the mail and enjoy receiving them even though e-cards are more eco-friendly. Besides, coming up with ideas to recycle them is one way of keeping the kids busy while you make your hoilday preparations.
Better Homes and Gardens (BHG) has oodles of ideas and how-to projects for recycling holiday cards. These little card trees are similar to those over at Stone and Rose that I blogged about yesterday but a little easier to make.
And I simply love these little decorative houses made from cards. For complete instructions for these and other card recycling projects, visit BHG. For house templates, go here.

Our Andrew Wittry got to hang out with Indiana hoops coach Tom Crean recently, and the Tan One let it be known that he wants senior forward Derek Elston "to be Scalabrine for us this year."
By Scalabrine, Crean of course is referring to Brian Scalabrine, who recently retired.
I am Scal…hear me roar! (Image credit: Elsa – Getty Images via CelticsBlog.com)
It seems like a good fit. Elston and Scalabrine are both 6'9 and in the 220-230 range, and both have specific but limited skill sets that make them best served in a supporting role as opposed to being 30-minute-a-night starters.
Also, Elston is white. Scalabrine is rumored to be as well. But surely that had nothing to do with Crean's comparison…
Anyway, a rather well done Brian Scalabrine highlight video is making the rounds of the web today. It's far more entertaining than I expected it to be. And frankly, there are some impressive highlights from Scalabrine that I didn't expect, most notably the Jordanesque up-and-under move he pulled while a member of the Bulls.
The post Behold, The Ultimate Brian Scalabrine Highlight Video appeared first on Midwest Sports Fans.
