Tough enough for grownups, made for kids
Joshua Barnes
Member since
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Grabbed a couple of these to have as extras for when I go camping with my nephews. They're fully functional, basic headlamps just shrunk down a bit.
They have a screw closure (so little 'uns can't open these up and try to eat the batteries), but other than that they're pretty similar to a grown up model. With the adjustable headband, an adult could probably even use it in a pinch.
My Nephew's love them.

Bought these for all of my 4 nephew's when they were heading off to camp this summer. They were a hit and helpful as well. great inexpensive option.

Cool all around lamp
Bernardo Gomez

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I am no kid, but I use it a lot. It is simple and lightweight, perfect for working around camp. It doesn't have a long range, it is useful when working with your hands. The battery lasts a lot and it is very resistant.
It is not waterproof and the headband could get loose if you use for running or a bumpy activity.
The batteries need a small screwdriver to get changed but I took / lost my screw a while back and use it without it. It doesn't fall apart and I prefer the easy access to the battery tray.
Cool little headlamp for kids.

These can usually be found at a fair price. Good little lamp. My daughter loves it. As noted, the batteries must be changed using a little screwdriver. As long as you know that, the rest is great. I assume there is a reason for it, being a kids lamp and all.
Great for kids. Simple to use. Bright enough for basic night time tasks.
I would recommend to my friends.
Basic headlamp!
Joelle Raynes
Member since
It's a comfortable fit and I love all the colors and patterns. The light range is pretty good! I love that the light will automatically go off after 4 hours, there are many times I forget to turn it off. It's kinda a pain to change the batteries, that is my only con.
Member since
This is a simply headlamp, although I've already lost the screw driver. :( The batteries haven't run out yet, it's been through two seasons!
Not sure
Member since
It's a headlamp. It seems to work. It's small and reasonably priced. It's very similar to my old one from BD, except it's got 2 LEDs not 3.
However, BD has added A PHILIPS SCREW to the battery compartment. There's a small screwdriver in the package. Really? Am I supposed to carry a special screwdriver at all times on trips so I can swap out batteries in a headlamp? Seems like an afterthought to fix a design screw up.
Member since
It's marketed for kids. Every battery-containing product I have bought for my kids over the past 12 years has a screw holding the battery compartment closed. Even if there's a latch too. Must be a CPSC rule. My kids' older Wiz headlamps don't require the screw to keep the batteries in.
I say it's a small price to pay for such a cool headlamp. Until we bought these, it was pretty standard to use a set of batteries per trip as the flashlight would always get left on. Wiz shuts off after an hour or so.
let your light shine on
Member since
This is a great headlamp for the small hiker. My niece loves the light. See is 6 years old and use the light for everything.

Worth every penny!!
Backpacking light for my 7 yr. old
Wendy Campbell Smith
Member since
I bought this kids headlamp for my 7 year old who is going on her first backpacking trip soon. Getting those 2 AAA batteries in this thing was like a crazy puzzle. Because it's marketed for a child who (apparently) is prone to removing the batteries and eating them, I guess? It comes with a tiny screw driver to loosen a tiny screw to open and close the battery compartment. Who's going to take this little screw driver with them everywhere this headlamp goes?! Why didn't they make it a flat head screw so you can use your leatherman tool or maybe a dime to open and close it?! Anyway, the screw was the first thing we removed and threw away. It works fine without it. Otherwise, easy to use the power button. It's just on/ off and the strap adjusts easily too.
Stoked 4-year Old

My little one got one of these for Christmas and she loves it. The fact it comes in pink and her size was a big plus. She has fun playing with it all over the house and when we are camping. It is plenty bright for her needs of navigating in the dark or going on some little adventure.
One pain is changing batteries, is it requires a screw driver.
great for kids
Member since
Light weight and easy to use. The auto shut off is great.
screwdriver to get into the battery pack, REALLY??
Member since
my wife and I have 20 plus years between us leading extensive wilderness trips. We have learned to trust that black diamond makes quality gear. more than once I could say that I owe my continued life to black diamond gear.
We have two young girls so when we saw your headlamp marketed to kids we were sure that it would be a home run. It is, it is simple, bright, light weight and it fits their heads.
The packaging at Christmas was immediately chucked. When attempting to install the battery we were struck hard and fast. screw access to the battery necessitating a very small screwdriver (included)?
1. are we expected to carry the thing in the field? and not lose it into a creek etc
2. Even if we never took the lights in the field are we expected to not lose it.
It seems like a colossal fail in my book. a fail in terms of product testing. Clearly the light was never put into the hands of a parent because even organized parents like us would see that the screwdriver would be lost before the first change in batteries. the screw is so small that even one of those 8 in one screwdrivers or a Swiss army knife would not be able to open it.
Bad design, Black diamond should be ashamed. If I can find the packaging they are going back to the store...
Disappointed in a trusted brand.
We will get over it
old skool
Member since
Why do people start their childish rants with some inflated claim of their vast experience? 20 years? Between two of you? Wow! Big deal.... I have over forty by myself and I think the screw is a good idea. When my kids were small, if they could get at the battery it was disassembled and gone in five minutes. Then when they needed the light - guess what.
Reid Pitman
Member since
Tim its the law that items for children have screw access to the battery compartment. That "disappointment" is that trusted brand PROTECTING YOUR CHILDREN.

very simple headlamp. I use it as a just in case head lamp in my car glove box. It is bright but only turns on hi on low and off. Super basic.

If Andy Bayer were a football or basketball player, we wouldn't even ask the question; it would be presumed. But the Indiana University All-American is a distance runner and so we asked: Are you turning professional now, or coming back for a fifth and final year in Bloomington?
The question was relevant, especially after Bayer finished fourth on Sunday in the 1,500-meter final at the U.S. Olympic Track and Field Trials in Eugene, Ore. and narrowly missed out on making the U.S. Olympic team.
Bayer raced against the best our country has to offer, which was a mostly professional field, and more than held his own. In typical Bayer style, he kicked down the homestretch, passing four runners the final 100 meters to finish in a personal best 3 minutes, 37.24 seconds.
Coming into the finals, Bayer had yet to meet the Olympic 'A' standard (3:35.50), so a top-three finish Sunday wouldn't have been enough to earn a trip to London later this summer.
But his performance is certainly enough to earn a professional shoe contract and all-expense paid trip to Europe for the summer track circuit.
So, the answer to the aforementioned question is?
"No, I am not (turning pro)," Bayer said in a post-race text message with The News-Sentinel.
Even if Bayer would have turned professional his coach would remain Indiana's Ron Helmer, and his training base most of the year would remain in Bloomington. But instead of signing the contract, which wouldn't exactly be comparable to rookies in the NBA or NFL, Bayer will build on his stellar collegiate career which already includes eight All-America honors and a recent NCAA championship.
As Bayer stood on the starting line Sunday, he knew his Olympic hopes were slim. Not only had he never run the required time (3:35.50), but the race was unlikely to proceed so quickly. And if Bayer alone were to push the pace, it would certainly be a sacrificial act with the final lap would be a parade of fresher runners racing past him.
Therefore Bayer tucked in nicely at the back of the back and waited - and waited - through 1,100 meters.
"When we hit a lap to go (Matthew) Centrowitz took off and I wanted to go with him, but I couldn't," Bayer said in an online video of being boxed in along the rail. "I wonder how it would have turned out if I had (gone with Centrowitz), but then I had my legs under me with 200 to go so it was great finish."
What did happen was more runners began to "tie up," or lose their form and slow over the final 100 meters. Bayer hit the finish line still surging, as were the first three finishers.
Leonel Manzano (3:35.75) won the event, followed by Matthew Centrowitz (3:35.84) and Andrew Wheating (3:36.68). Each had previously run the necessary Olympic 'A' standard.

Press Release
Administration's Keystone Step is "Right Decision"
| Kelly
Statement from Elisabeth MacNamara, President of the League of Women Voters
Washington, DC – "Today's step by the Obama Administration to deny the Keystone XL Pipeline was the right decision. It is a decision that puts the health and safety of Americans ahead of blind reliance on fossil fuels. The route of the Keystone XL Pipeline was a threat to the drinking water of millions of Americans. The pipeline was just too big a risk to allow it to go forward.

I see what you mean. The physical being is your best tool. The mind, the control room, and the soul, the distraction. Thats where things get hazy for me, and most now that I think about it. We think too much, and we don't just do. The thought process should also be taken with a grain of salt, humans tend to over think everything and not just feel out a situation. If logic was meant to rule, then we wouldn't feel. I base life off of feelings, and I add logic to make the situation more clear.
I put all three aspects into one perspective..Mind, body, and spirit all together as one.

and here we were,
three days from impact.
the playground swings gesturing in plaits of air,
voices of children now gone from there,
and there were two Suns in the sky,
one girthing the other more with each dawn from night...
the store shelves were surprisingly stocked,
the essentials were victim to the early flock,
when our Sun stood witness,
to the trespasser on the crest,
of an ancestral trajectory bore over our west...
the tills were full of wood transformed,
each denomination scorned,
even the alter was without host,
for they gather two days early their ghost,
to embrace, love and remember...childhood and more.
The event of the meteor strike in Russia is not a sign,
it is an opportunity...to realize great change in ourselves,
and own the day for the better of our children.
This was an improv

Assassin on this sight. It's happened to me on replies that were in no way controversial.
Yes, Klinker. Whatever happens to us by "meteors", drones,
earthquakes or currency collapse, we should not be scandalized by "the impact". We will quietly and stubbornly "own the day for the better of our children". . . although I do wish the host, our manna, to remain in the altar until the very end of our journeys through this wasteland :-)

Wonderful creation, klinker.

Happens all the time.
I never liked the up/downvote system. Not just on the DP, but in general. I noticed it can often lead (not always, of course) to some bias, either way. A trend of downvotes can degenerate, just as trends of upvotes can, too.
If it were me only, I'd have either nothing or only an upvote system (no downvoting possibility).
Thus, a very disapproved post would just have its number of votes equal to zero, that'd show that really no-one agrees or appreciates (at all).
A "lame" post would have only a few votes.
At the other end, outstanding posts would have huge numbers of votes.
But again, I don't pay much attention to votes, rather, to the quality of comments instead (to my taste, anyway - always subjective).
Sorry for this digression. ;)

Our Technical Director reveals how we guarantee that a certified product is as natural as it can be.
What do you expect from your Natural and Organic Cosmetics product?
If you are like most people, you want it without synthetic ingredients like fragrances, colors and preservatives. And you certainly don't want it to have petroleum derived products or silicone oils.
These are important pillars. But did you know that they are not enough to make a product as natural as possible?
This is why:
Some products cannot be made without chemically transforming some natural ingredients.
A shampoo is a good example. It cannot clean without surfactants. And there is no 'natural' way of making them: you need to chemically modify a natural ingredient to obtain a surfactant.
This has an important consequence: if you cannot exclude such substances, you must limit their use to a strict minimum.
Under the NATRUE-Label we call such ingredients 'Derived Natural Substances'. We chose this name to indicate that they can never be entirely synthetic: they must be derived from a natural substance.
We only allow them when natural ingredients (by themselves) cannot achieve the required function - like the surfactants in our shampoo example. We also have strict rules on how they can be derived: only some specified chemical reactions are allowed.
But it takes more
Quantities matter: just because you have to include a Derived Natural Substance doesn't mean a product should be full of it.
That is why it is not enough to define how natural ingredients may be modified, you must also define how many of these modified ingredients may be used.
We solved this by our double-guarantee: every product must contain more than a defined percentage of natural ingredients, and may only contain a limited percentage of Derived Natural Substances.
These strict thresholds are higher or lower depending on the type of product.
To take just one example, a shampoo needs more Derived Natural Substances than a body cream and that is why they have different rules.
This is how we achieve the NATRUE guarantee: every product is as natural as it can be.
I also recommend you to read this article by Rita Stiens. It shows what can happen without such a guarantee.
Vincent Letertre is our Technical Director at NATRUE. He joined us from Dr. Hauschka and his know-how and experience make him the perfect guardian of our strict criteria.

Contemporary Battery Operated Picture Light from the Advent Cordless Collection
picture frame lights
The service i recieved from your site was great,,the lights are very nice,,go thru alot of batteries but that was expected...thank you for your help and great service.

Good looking but needs to stay on longer
We love the way this light looks on our paintings. The batteries have not lasted long enough. It will barely stay lit for an entire evening. Wish there was a battery that had a longer life.
February 8, 2009
needs some work
The 'look/design' is good. The problem is that the bulb is so small it hardly gives off appropriate lighting. The battery operated is also convenient however the use drains the battery to hardly any actual use before they need changing. It is not something that you would want to leave on to accent the room/photo for a great deal of time. Turning on right before guests arrive and turning off immediately will be necessary.
Unless the company makes great improvements, my next purchase for such lighting next time will be a plug in (unfortunately)

Let's say, with the deadline for a deficit deal fast approaching, you want to know what Republican Senator Scott Brown and Democratic rival Elizabeth Warren think the congressional Super Committee should do. That's reasonable, right? Brown, after all, styles himself as an outspoken, independent-minded senator, while Warren portrays herself as a tough, intrepid, truth-teller. So on mid-afternoon Monday, I contacted both Brown's and Warren's offices to request a brief phone interview. No one expects them to have their own deficit-reduction plans, I noted, but I was interested in talking in broad terms about what they hoped to see. Things like, should the committee aim for a big - that is, in the $4 trillion range - package or be content with a smaller one? Should new revenues be included, and if so, in what rough proportion to spending cuts? I said I hoped to speak to each in the next couple of days.

Review: Autodesk 3ds Max Entertainment Creation Suite Premium 2012
It feels strange reviewing the latest build of 3ds Max as most of my work with it in the past few years has been more on the scripting side or using it as a conversion/export step in the pipeline. I have spent over 10 years with almost equal time bouncing between Maya, MotionBuilder and 3ds Max animating and rigging so I am excited to check out the latest release. Much like the Maya Entertainment Suite, the latest release of the 2012 Autodesk 3ds Max super software mashup, will help cut the cost of buying each software separately and provide a serious set of powertools for us artists.
Because the Premium suite now includes Softimage to the bundle you now get Face Robot for dealing with complex face rigging, the simply incredible ICE visual programming system and the much envied Lagoa Multiphysics dynamic solver system written in ICE. As a 3ds Max user, why should you care? Autodesk has made it easy for you to add its very powerful toolset to the pipeline. With new one click Send To functions letting you push and pull data between the other suite software via the updated .FBX format,you and your studio can be running the same software combination that Blur Studios uses including Softimage Face Robot and ICE with flexibility of render choice in 3ds Max.
In my experience the workflow of 3ds Max matches the Softimage workflow and mindset and can be an easier transition than with Maya.
More easily take advantage of the focused toolsets in the Autodesk Entertainment Creation Suites Premium, with new single-step interoperability between Softimage and Autodesk Maya, Autodesk 3ds Max software, and Autodesk Mudbox. Export Softimage scene elements to Mudbox to intuitively add organic sculpted and painted details, and then update the scene in Softimage in one simple step. And use the power of the Softimage ICE particle system in your Maya or 3ds Max scene.
For a more in depth review of MotionBuilder and Mudbox please read over my Maya Entertainment Creation Suite review here on AWN. As of this writing there have been hot fix releases for most of the 2012 software. The nice thing is that the new 2012 hot fix patches and service packs install faster and don't require an uninstall first as they used to do for previous versions.
3ds Max 2012 First Impressions - The Launch
The first launch of 3ds Max 2012 comes up with the Autodesk dark UI scheme that, while useable is easily switched to a light UI scheme through the Customize-Custom UI and Defaults switcher. I have always liked how easy it is to store different UI schemes in Max and the other Autodesk teams could take a note from them and let users chose light or dark in Maya, Mudbox and MotionBuilder.
"Improved Startup Time and Memory Footprint" is one of the many new improvements that show up from the start. I noticed it did launch much faster than past versions, even on my older hardware, though some of the GUI like the Ribbon and the new tool Caddy (floating tool options) feel sluggish to update compared to past version of Max. I expect that this will improve with driver updates and as Autodesk gets more feedback from users, along with better graphics cards.

Back in 1910, Jeremy's great-grandfather, OR Goring, founded the hotel that has carried the family name ever since.
A man of great vision, OR Goring persuaded the Duke Of Westminster to sell the plot of land at the Buckingham Palace end of what was to become Beeston Place, where he razed the Sun public house and a string of cottages to make way for the last grand hotel to be built in the Edwardian era.
On the 2nd March 1910 the world's first hotel with en suite facilities and central heating to every bedroom was opened.
Today, The Goring is regarded the favourite address for anyone looking for the quintessentially English hotel in the heart of London.
A hotel where every member of the team takes terrific pride in offering the highest levels of personal service, where guests are sincerely welcomed and can enjoy elegant individual accommodations, the tranquillity of its own private Gardens, and the utterly splendid Lounge Bar and Dining Room where the very best of British food and been celebrated for over a century.

Trust me on this one,
Larry Sherman's explanation that he used whatever was on hand, was very accurate.
While the only dealings I actually had with Larry was when I had him press an acetate (test pressing) of Jack Trax...while I watched him very closely, I visited his plant many times with different people.
Everytime I went there I was amazed at what a pig-stye it was. There was no order whatsoever. It was truly amazing that he could find people to work for him, let alone actually produce sellable goods.
But he did, and I digress.

Sprint opens the door to funding Clearwire
Sprint Nextel inched closer to potentially providing funding to cash-strapped Clearwire in its latest debt offering.
The company said today that it plans to offer a private placement of debt due in 2018 and 2021. The uses include general expenses, network upgrades, and the repayment of existing debt. The most interesting, of course, is the potential funding of 4G WiMax provider Clearwire, which Sprint has so far been mum on.
"Securing the capital to fund those items while maintaining a solid cash balance in the case that Clearwire needs funding is important for Sprint's future," said Walter … Read more

Long ago, back in the time of the renaissance, there existed a mighty castle. Before she passed away, the owner, who was a powerful Mismagius Pokemorph, cast a spell upon the castle to protect her prized structure, and preserve it for many, many centuries to come after her death. However, controversy and arguments arose afterward, as each of her four adult children - a Dusknoir, Gengar, Froslass, and Mismagius 'morph - all laid claim to their mother's castle. Eventually, they decided upon an agreement, and the mighty castle was split between the four of them.
As time passed, the castle remained as perfect as it had been the day the original owner died, and the four separate sections of the castle were passed down a long line of many, many heirs; the tradition continuing up until present time. Now, the current possessors of these four sections have all come together and agreed, and turned their great, great relative's grand piece of architecture into an academy for aspiring students, with each fraction of the castle representing a different dorm - Froslass, Gengar, Dusknoir, and Mismagius, to honor the first heirs of the castle.
Which dorm are you destined to?
Alright, this sight is officially dead and there's no going back. So, I'm sorry to everyone I let down, and I'm sorry that this site couldn't have lasted longer. Anyways, sites I recommend (and which I'll be on) are and GOOD BYE CASTLE OF LEVIS! ;-; - Mudd; Feburary 20th, '09.

NEW HORIZONS? The Martian landscape, photographed here by NASA's Opportunity rover in 2010, may in the coming decades witness its first human visitors.
Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell University
On April 12, 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin did something no human had done before. On board the Vostok 1 spacecraft, Gagarin became the first person in space after rocketing into the sky from a launch site in Kazakhstan for a nearly two-hour flight. What is more, Gagarin became the first human to orbit Earth, a feat that the U.S. would not achieve until its third manned spaceflight, John Glenn's three-orbit flight on Friendship 7, February 20, 1962.
Fifty years later, both the space race—and the Cold War of which it was a part—have come to an end. The Soviet Union is no longer, but the Russian space program has become an invaluable partner to NASA's human spaceflight program. Over the past decade more than a dozen countries, including Russia and the U.S., have sent astronauts to the International Space Station, the longest-serving continuously manned orbital outpost in history. Meanwhile, China has built up a formidable program of its own, sending three manned missions into space since 2003.
But human exploration of the solar system has contracted in scope since 1972, when the last set of Apollo astronauts to visit the moon returned to Earth. Whereas the first 10 years following Gagarin's flight were peppered with firsts—notably the pioneering moon missions Apollo 8 and Apollo 11—the last four decades have witnessed little else but trips to and from low Earth orbit.
That ought to change, finally, in the decades to come. Space agencies around the world are planning ambitious missions to the moon and to even farther-flung locales that have never been visited by humankind. No one knows who the next Yuri Gagarin will be, or what flag will adorn his or her spacesuit, but below are a few solar system destinations that might find themselves festooned with fresh footprints in the next 50 years.
The moon
Humankind has landed and walked there before—six times, in fact—but since 1972 the only lunar visitors have been of the robotic variety. The U.S. remains the only nation to send its astronauts to the moon, and for several years it looked as if NASA would be back before anyone else. President George W. Bush proposed in 2004 that NASA return humans to the moon by 2020, but the feasibility of that goal was already waning when President Barack Obama scuttled the moon shot in 2010. Obama chose to scrap the Bush-era moon goal and the spacecraft system that was to enable it in favor of a more flexible strategy toward space exploration using a new deep-space launcher, whose specifics have become a point of contention between NASA and Congress.
Meanwhile, China has been ramping up its lunar exploration program, sending unmanned orbiters to the moon in 2007 and 2010. China has also demonstrated the ability to send its space flyers, sometimes known as taikonauts, into orbit—and officials have said that taikonauts could set foot on the moon by 2025. That timeline seems to mesh with the other leading contender for a lunar return. Along with China and the U.S., Russia is the only nation with a proved ability to send humans into space. The head of the Russian space agency has said that cosmonauts would land on the moon by 2025.
But, as with the plans for a Chinese moon mission—and as NASA is well aware following its abandoned Bush-era plans—many technical challenges stand between the decision to go to the moon and planting a flag on the lunar surface. It remains to be seen which nations, if any, are willing to pursue the expensive, complicated and dangerous goal of a manned moon landing.
Near-Earth asteroids
When Obama steered NASA away from the moon, he directed the space agency toward a manned asteroid landing around 2025 instead. The attractions of such a mission are myriad: For starters, no nation has ever achieved it nor has any nation's astronauts ventured so deep into the solar system. And asteroids are a rich library of scientific information, preserving a record of the chemical conditions that prevailed when the solar system was in its infancy. An asteroid visit might also afford a significant logistical advantage over a moon landing: The much weaker gravitational pull of an asteroid means that a spacecraft could simply rendezvous with it at close range so astronauts could spacewalk to the surface without the need for a full-fledged landing module.
But nothing in space travel is easy, and touching down on an asteroid might be a sight more complicated than a simple rendezvous. Asteroids are often odd-shaped bodies that spin extremely rapidly. Some are little more than rubble piles, and their loose structure combined with weak gravity means that the vicinity of an asteroid might be littered with loosely bound debris.
In any event, such a mission would require NASA to develop a heavy-lift launch system to spring a crew of astronauts out of Earth orbit, and the specs, timeline and cost of such rockets have caused friction between the space agency and Congressional funders.

Vincentian Mission Orientation (VMO)
The Vincentian Mission Orientation (VMO) one-day sessions are held periodically throughout the year for full and part-time employees of the University. Participants are recruited from all departments and extended to new and existing employees, allowing for the existing employees to "reminisce" and share their expereinces since they have been at the University, and for the new employees to share their enthusiasm and "awe" as they begin to understand the mission. It also allows for more discussion/interaction because of the larger size of the group.
A typical VMO session is facilitated by the University Mission Officer, the Vice President for Campus Ministry, and a member of the University's Vincentian Center for Church and Society. The Catholic and Vincentian components of the mission are reviewed in light of the life and ministry of St. Vincent de Paul. Discussions also focus on the core values of the Vincentian Family, and the promotion of the mission through collaboration and service. Various guest speakers are featured in each session - typically current St. John's employees - who share their personal understanding and experience of the mission with the VMO participants. The orientation also includes a segment on the Metropolitan aspects of the mission by detailing the history and significance of each of St. John's campuses around the world, and how they represent and contribute to the Catholic and Vincentian components of the mission.

There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Physical death is a necessary and, perhaps, disconcerting element of the evolutionary process for many Christians. It is difficult to imagine a perfect and loving God designing such a universe where forces such as natural death and entropy operate.
In today's video, Michael Ramsden discusses the importance and meaning of mystery in the Bible.
In today's video, Pastor Brian McClaren notes that the metaphor "slippery slopes" is problematic, because we often assume that we are on the top of the slope to begin with, when in fact changing our views may help us ascend the slope, or to reach a new peak of understanding on the other side.
In this essay, Godawa argues that the decreation language of a collapsing universe with falling stars and signs in the heavens was actually symbolic discourse about world-changing events and powers related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order." In this interpretation, predictions of the collapsing universe were figuratively fulfilled in the historic past of the first century.
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
In this video "Conversation," Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright responds to a question from a BioLogos Forum reader who notes that in the world of evangelical Christianity there seems to be a great suspicion about becoming too politically liberal, but few worries about becoming too conservative.
The first question for Wright is, "What do you think is the biggest misunderstanding that western 21st century evangelicals have about Jesus, and how does it stunt their understanding and witness?"
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter offers his thoughts on the challenges of preaching on controversial topics and offers advice to pastors who consider introducing these complicated discussions into their own congregations.
As a scientist, I find this song particularly compelling because not only is the science on which the song draws completely accurate, but the scientific understanding of the nature of the physical sun and moon is critical to how Groves plays out the metaphor.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter points out that when issues of faith become politicized and polarized, there will always be people who leave the churches that tackle these issues head on.
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter acknowledges the risk that pastors take when preaching on Genesis—and in particular, when they approach it with an attitude of humility, allowing the possibility that the text was not meant to be understood in literal terms.
In today's video, Daniel Harrell reflects on the rigors of the scientific method, reminding us that what gives scientific discoveries their weight is not the individuals who make them, but the methods of science themselves, which instill in us a level of confidence.
In today's video Conversation, Dr. Greg Boyd discusses the basic truths that provide the framework for Christian belief and distinguishes them from the potentially divisive issues that do not compromise what he refers to as the "non-negotiable" truths.
In this brief video conversation, Os Guinness, author and founder of the Trinity Forum, suggests that the religious right might have largely created the current culture war that has science and faith as its core antagonists.
In this paper, Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise when they learn of anyone teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. Keller offers some ideas on how to provide responses that take these concerns seriously.

Granville Island project earns silver for contractor
Even with a couple of Vancouver Regional Construction Association's Awards of Excellence already under its belt, Vancouver Pile Driving was happy to cement a 2012 win for Ocean Concrete's Granville Island Plant and Dock Replacement project.
The company earned a Silver Award in the General Contractor Under $15 Million category.
John Zuk, a project manager with Vancouver Pile Driving, said everyone, from the front of the house to the back, deserves accolades for work on the complicated project.
"It's nice to get recognition. Even though we're a niche industry, it's extremely competitive out there," said Zuk, a BCIT graduate who's been in the business since 1994.
The project for Ocean Concrete, a division of Heidelberg Cement Group, was a bit of a role reversal for the 100-year-old pile driving company.
"Normally, we're the client to them," he said. "But, it was a nice marriage."
The intense, $1.75 million upgrade started in December 2011 and finished in April.
Work included construction of a new wharf and fender repairs at the operating plant, which meant that the existing timber dock and fender structures had to be demolished.
Vancouver Pile Driving, one of Canada's largest marine general contractors, performing work as far away as Quebec, also supplied and installed a new steel pipe wharf foundation, cast-in-place cope beam at the wharf perimeter and, a precast concrete deck and concrete topping slab.
As Zuk noted, in this case, getting certain materials wasn't difficult.
A new fendering system, new lift tower for the luffing barge's offloading conveyor and a new hydraulic system for the lift tower were also installed.
The Granville Island plant is a pivotal location because it serves construction in downtown Vancouver, Zuk said.
Not only was the project done under winter conditions, but the strategically-located plant continued to operate while heavy-duty work was taking place.
Ocean Concrete's vice-president and general manager said Vancouver Pile Driving did an excellent job.
"We're extremely happy with the work they did in a challenging environment," said Larry Baloun.
"They had to work around our ability to keep the scows coming in. They also needed to keep our conveyors in place while they removed the dock."
Vancouver Pile Driving also had to bring in a lot of equipment so that their machinery could work on the water.
Add the "tons of traffic" in the busy harbour and cranes that were subject to ebbing and flowing tides, and the impressive scheduling and logistics didn't go unnoticed by the client, Baloun said.
"We are a high-hazard construction industry," Zuk said.
Work doesn't stop during inclement weather. With the wind, rain, tides, currents and boaters, there were plenty of variables, he said.
At that particular site, material to make concrete arrives via barges and is conveyed into silos that sit on the wharf.
Unlike traditional concrete plants, goods can't be stockpiled in the open due to the proximity of businesses and residences.
Two cranes were used, one to work above and around the conveyor site, while a smaller crane worked below.
"While we were active, at any given time, the conveyor belts would run," Zuk said.
The plant's four-conveyor system is a massive structure with significant load.
"We had to suspend it all to remove and rebuild the timber deck," Zuk said.
Plenty of cross-bracing beams were used.
A series of steel pilings and wide-flange girders were used.
They were supported underneath or the trusses above were supported, so loads could be transferred to temporary structures to allow the safe removal of the old deck.
New steel support pilings, 24 inches in diameter, were placed at a depth of 18 metres.
Zuk gave design engineer Jorgen Jensen of North Vancouver-based Villholth Jensen & Associates credit for his expertise during the project.
While working during the longer, drier days of summer may have mitigated some of the challenges, Zuk said, the presence of fish in the waters off Granville Island meant it made more sense to work when fish such as salmon fry weren't present.
Still, Department of Fisheries regulations and various other environmental standards had to be obeyed.
"We had environmental monitoring any time there was pile-driving or a concrete pour," Zuk noted.
A typical workforce at the site included six to eight people on a marine derrick, a pile-driving crew and a carpentry crew, totalling about 15 workers.
Added to that total were sub-trades, such as ironworkers.
Even with the complexities, "It was a fantastic location to work," Zuk said.
These projects have been selected from 387 projects with a total value of $7,314,102,807 that Reed Construction Data Building Reports reported on Wednesday.

Lismore confirms 7-year old fluoride decision
- Details
- Written by Robin Osborne
- Published: 11 December 2013
by Robin Osborne at the 'great debate' on the fluoridation of Lismore's water supply
"Sugar is the enemy," said Vanessa Ekins, leader of Lismore City Council's anti-fluoride group and proposer of a motion to overturn the 2006 decision to have Rous Water fluoridate Lismore's reticulated supply.
But to her vocal supporters in the gallery at the 10 December meeting the real enemy was the bloc of six councilors who voted down Cr Ekins's motion, and then endorsed a follow-up by Cr Neil Marks to advise NSW Health of Council's wish to fluoridate.

Despite a decisive win in the September 7 federal election, and an extensive knowledge of the Page electorate, new Nationals' MP Kevin Hogan concedes he is on a learning curve, and for that reason he welcomed a briefing from the NRGPN's Dr David Guest (Board Chair), and Dr Andrew Binns (GPSpeak clinical editor) in late November.
Uppermost in the discussion were issues affecting local GPs, including the cumbersome 'red tape' that can impede practices better serving their rising number of patients, especially after hours.

The development of radiotherapy on the Lismore Base Hospital (LBH) campus was a huge step forward for cancer services in the Northern Rivers, but it created something of a dilemma – where could patients stay while they received their integrated care?
A radiation regime can extend over several days, even weeks, while individual treatment takes only a short time, leaving patients, who often feel weakened by their cancer, to take an onerous journey home, or fill in the long days locally.
Affordable accommodation in Lismore and surrounds was another problem, as was (and still is) the parking situation around LBH.

With our growing population, and in particular our ageing population, health services across the Northern Rivers will be placed under increasing pressure in the future – something I am sure anyone reading this publication is well aware.
We have some wonderful services, but there are other areas, which despite the best efforts of our dedicated medical and health professionals, are below what you would expect from a quality health service.
I see no reason why we should expect anything less than the best quality service just because we are a regional area.
This is the reason I promised during the election campaign to spend $4.5 million upgrading Ballina Hospital, including an extra operating theatre to reduce bottlenecks and an expanded medical imaging department.

No, he was getting his ass kicked by Deathwing. He'd taken out every other dragon sent up against him though. The gronn are described as 'demigods,' so I put Gruul at Cenarius' level power - at or about the same level as the animal demigods of Azeroth, but beneath dragon aspect power.
And Kil'jaeden at the Sunwell was really him. You could argue that he hadn't come completely through the portal, but I don't see how that would affect his power. Maybe he was sucked back through before he could bring his full strength to bear. I'd still put him below Old God level.

"HP DeskJet 550C is a monochrome printer that boasts with ease of use, reliable operation, and low HP toners price. It is said to be one of the best printers that small businesses can get in order to keep up with the demand in printing. It is not the best when it comes to the speed of printing, and it doesn't have the built-in memory that some people are looking for. Low cost is one of the main reasons why you need to get your hands on this printer. HP toners are known are their affordability, but the HP printer toner for DeskJet 550C is considered as the cheapest among the HP toners that you can purchase today. Despite its affordable price, this printer still has the ability to deliver the quality prints that you are looking for. In fact, it is considered as one of the best printers in terms of producing high quality prints. Topping at 16 pages per minute, the HP DeskJet 550C is not the fastest printer that you can get, but it is enough to accommodate the demand for home and small businesses. The 4mb memory that it offers will allow this printer to handle most of the task, but if you are looking for better performance, then you can search the HP supplies to look for something that will expand it up to 64mb. One of the major problems of HP DeskJet 550C is the connectivity. It is using parallel port, which is rarely being used in modern computers today. However, you can also purchase a USB adapter or simply install JetDirect to your printer, allowing you to connect more computers at the same time. Overall, the HP DeskJet 320 could be the best printer for you if you are working on small groups or if you are going to use it personally. The connectivity and printing speed could be a huge downside if you are going to use this printer for high volumes of printing."
