Home » Site News » Diablo III Reviewed
Macworld UK has posted a new review of the recently released Diablo III from Blizzard Entertainment. The long awaited third installment in the action RPG series once again returns players to the demon plagued world of Sanctuary. Macworld UK gave the game a score of 4 stars.
From the review:
This time around you can choose from five different character classes – barbarian, demon hunter, monk, witch doctor and wizard – each with its own unique skills and abilities. The graphics have been updated too, and now provide a true 3D view of the action. However, Blizzard seems to have made a conscious decision to stick to the dark, cramped corridors and simplistic graphical style of the earlier Diablo games, and I did find myself longing for the bright, epic landscapes of recent role-playing games such as the Dragon Age series and Skyrim.
Another thing that hasn't changed much is the sheer finger-clicking addictiveness of the Diablo formula. The moment you arrive in Tristram you find yourself confronted by a horde of shambling zombies who promptly proceed to poop little piles of gold on the floor after you've pummelled them into submission. Unencumbered by much in the way of plot or supporting characters, Diablo III simply throws monsters and magical loot at you until your fingers bleed and your mouse bursts into flames.

Valley Green Inn
Online Reservations
we had sunday brunch-definitely glad we made a reservation, it fills up quick. but we were still given the choice to sit inside or outside. food was great-fresh fruit, eggs benedict, pecan waffles. waiter was very attentive with coffee refills and very pleasant as was the rest of the staff. would definitely love to go back for dinner. walked off brunch along the wissahickon afterwards. great day all around.
I took my friend to Valley Green Inn on a beautiful Spring afternoon, knowing that they too would love the ambiance of this historical inn. They did. The luncheon menu surpassed my expectations so we all dined in complete bliss! Our waitress had a funny, quirky personify that topped off the experience. Of course, if the weather had cooperated and if it had been 10-15 degrees warmer - we could have dined on the porch. We' ll just have to come back in June or July! :-)
A most pleasant early evening meal. Menu was surprisingly varied and well prepared. Service was friendly and very attentive, but not intrusive..
Having lunch at The Valley Green Inn is always on my "must do" list when I have out of town guests. The food is consistently good; I always get the Salmon Club and sweet potato chips because they are so good. The staff is always friendly. The setting along Wissahickon Creek is special and beautiful in all seasons.
Eating lunch at Valley Green brought back many memories of visiting with family members. We saw duck families (with babies) along the Wissahickon and wish we had had time to take a walk after we ate. We had a very pleasing light lunch (salmon sandwich, quiche) and the staff could not have been nicer and more accommodating! I like the artwork inside. If it had been a little warmer that day we would've eaten outside! We live in other areas now and were visiting Philadelphia--we will come again next visit.
The Brunch was fabulous and will definitely be bringing our friends back with us.
We had dinner and found the food to be outstanding, as was the service. The restaurant is charming and is in a lovely setting. We definitely will return.
One of our favorite places to eat set in picturesque Philadelphia's famous park. Food is very good but don't forget to walk afterwards along Forbidden Drive. Start with the baked Brie and stay for dessert.
This is a charming & quaint old inn with attentive, friendly staff. There are lots of options from which to choose on the menu. Creative dessert offerings were all tempting too! Service was quite good. Judy our server was excellent. Platters were beautifully presented, portions were generous and well prepared. Each of us in our lunch party really enjoyed our meals!
This place was adorable. My husband and I celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary here and had a wonderful brunch, and even with the wedding occurring at the same time, it was quiet and perfect for our date. There are also great trails in the area, so if you want to work up an appetite, or feel like you ate too much walking through the park is a definitely good option. We will be back next year to celebrate 2 years.
Also for animal lovers. Terrific food, wonderful location - literally in the middle of a park overlooking a scenic creek with ducks & geese. Hikers, cyclists, and dog-walkers abound. If you sit on the porch you can pet the doggies as they go by. The food is terrific, especially for a Sunday brunch. Couldn't be a nicer place.
The food is always good at Valley Green, but the Father's Day Brunch was a bit overpriced for what was being offered. For $30, I would have expected a full buffet, not just entrees like fancy French toast.
We have been going to Valley Green on Fathers Day for many years. The price was higher this year and the selection was less and dessert not included. Still a nice place.
My girlfriend and I had a wonderful night at the Valley Green Inn; great food, people and scenery awesome date spot!
Fabulous for outdoor dining if you can find it! Great service, good selection
We already loved for dinner and brunch was by far best brunch we have had in years!!!
You can't believe you're in a city; the whole Wissahickon is a treasure and Valley Green is a stand-out gem.
Food is a winner here. Our server was Todd whe steered us away from items which were not up to par that day (sweet potato chips). Will have to return to try those chips later. Some vegetarian options but limited. Check menu before you go. Had a nice walk by the river after our meal. Not overly busy on a hot Friday for lunch.
Everything was very good. We ordered 5 different dinners and 4 were very good...pork chop was overdone. Room was quiet as there were only two others present. We were able to hear each other easily. Will return.
Throughly enjoyed the food, however, we were seated next to 2 elderly couples who were discussing WW2 and what the Germans did and didn't do. Not exactly, what I wanted to hear while I was eating, or actually at any time. I felt like is was 1946 and these guys had just returned from the war. The food was wonderful and I would return again. HN (local resident)
The setting at the Valley Green Inn, in the Wissahickon Park is fabulous. We ate outside on the porch during the week, the summer weather was comfortable, the view of the Wissahickon Creek, tranquil. The waitstaff was friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We were entertaining a friend from out of town and he very much enjoyed the experience. The food was excellent, we had the crabcakes and porkchop, which were outstanding. Desserts, mango sorbet and blueberry cobbler were just as good. We would return again, especially nice for entertaining friends from out of town or a special occassion. the drive to the restaurant is beautiful, parking is free and a stroll along the Wissahickon is a welcome advantage.
Dining at the Valley Green Inn located along the Wissahickon Creek is both a sensory and culinary delight. The inn itself is chock full of history and the food was both well presented and very tasty. While dining on the porch provides an excellent visual experience if you enjoy people watching, dining indoors takes you back in time. The wait staff is both friendly and efficient and the chef, whoever he or she may be, is very talented. The menu is comprehensive and the serving size spot on to ensure you are satisfied without the guilt of being wasteful. This is just a very pleasant experience and sharing it with someone from out of town makes it especially nice.
We brought our English Setter and there was a bowl of water for dogs. Not many restaurants provide such amenities for pets. Hooked her leash around leg of a table and all had a lovely time.
Don't know that I've ever had a meal there before but used to hike w/my grandfather and get ice cream at the snack window. It's a beautiful old inn and the food was fantastic. Service was great. We were attended to but not rushed. Had a lovely view of the path and creek.
We had been there one before for brunch. Enjoyed it. As it is a long trip for us this was the first time back. Started with an enjoyable walk along the paths of Valley Green. We dined in a charming rustic but well kept up inn. Service was excellent. Food was outstanding. The chef provided dinner with a flair. I understand she started as a pastry chef. Start with baked Brie in a wonderful pastry. Salmon was excellent. Meatloaf Napoleon outstanding. Prices reasonable. Will go back.
We were early for our reservation & was sested at once - Scott our waiter - was a gracious host - our party arrived 30 minutes late - we were NOT hurried from start to finish - food was excellent - service the same - WILL RETURN
We went for a walk on the gorgeous Forbidden Drive Trail and then arrived a bit early for our brunch reservation - they neglected us for a while after seating us, but when they realized it, they went overboard to make it up to us! It hadn't been that bad - waiting while enjoying the beautiful view of the Wissahickon Creek! The service and the food were outstanding. We'll be back for sure - and recommend it to others!
We had a really great time at brunch. It's a good deal at $19, the food was great, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. Absolutely would come back!
Was recommended to me by a friend who grew up in the area. It was a wonderful recommendation. We would def come again if ever in the EastCoast Brunch was delicious from the coffee to breads to the fruit salad to the eggs Benedict !
We had a lovely dinner sitting on the porch overlooking the Wissahickon creek. The food was absolutely delicious!! The brie in pastry is to die for! Our waitress, Rhonda, was awesome. This was our first time here....we are already planning a return.
Eating on the Porch when the weather is nice is great. Went for brunch, very generous portion sizes that require a doggy bag. Slightly on the expensive side.
I took my girlfriend there for her birthday. The food was spot on with nothing I'd change. Beware when sitting on the porch if people tie there dogs up outside, because you will be serenaded by barking.
Valley Green Inn is old and beautifully located. The food is good to above average, not great. But the setting in the woods overlooking the Wissahickon can't be beat. The price for Sunday brunch at $18.95 includes soup or salad, and an entree. $18.95 for brunch might strike some as high but it's a lot lower than many places. Be a bit patient with the service; it's good not great (1 server, Rhonda, was terrific). Just sit back and relax and enjoy.
A wonderful dinner! The food was outstanding, with great selections and unusual preparations. Our table of 3 enjoyed every course ordered. While I had previously enjoyed the setting, this somewhat 'new' chef will get us back soon because her food was terrific! The experience does depend a bit on weather, since one is in the middle of Fairmont park, but it is a lovely setting by a creek and a great old inn.
Delightful historic inn on park grounds. Great walking areas. Great food, good selection. Absolute find within city limits.
Enjoyed eating lunch on the porch in early Sept'13. Passer-byes were not too numerous and very few barking doggies this time around. Servers handled both indoor and outdoors very well...no delays...
I have come to this lovely Inn for almost 50 years off and on. It has an imaginative new (3 years) chef and has excellent food and a unique ambiance.
service was fantastic -- the server, the hostess, even the parking attendant... 5 stars for all of them but the food was only decent - not spectacular.
I had run by this place a few times and had been wanting to try it, so my wife and I went for brunch on Saturday. However, brunch is only served on Sundays. We had lunch instead, which was fine, but the food left something to be desired. We sat out on the patio and it was a perfect morning, so the atmosphere was great. I would recommend this place if you are looking for a leisurely brunch or lunch in a relaxing atmosphere. I will definitely go back on a Sunday to try brunch.
We had a nice brunch ! Food was great and we were well fed
As with historic, century-old buildings, the main dining area features wood plank floors and turn of the century charm. A modern menu manages to capture the flavors of entrees from a time long ago. Service is friendly and attentive to a diner's needs. A delightful venue for an evening meal.
This place had been recommended to me by a friend many times, but I never got to check it out. I stumbled upon eating here, as it had gotten great reviews for lunch with a view. I wanted a fun, but special place to celebrate my fiance's birthday, and this really was the spot! Great atmosphere, beautiful scenery, delicious food, and just all around perfect experience. We'll definitely be there again!
We dined on the porch overlooking the creek. Food and service were excellent. Tables were a little small for 4. I was thrilled that they offered THE historic dish of the region: Catfish and Waffles. Highly recommended!
Valley Green hosted us for a delicious birthday luncheon. We arrived early, and we they happily welcomed us anyway.
The biggest hassle is parking. There is none. If you dare park somewhere you should not you will get a ticket. I did and that is a disgrace. It is too bad b/c I bet this deters a lot of people.
We were looking for somewhere a bit special to have lunch; this was definitely the place to come. Great location, great food, great service. Couldn't have wished for better. Already planning the next visit.
For years Valley Green Inn meant one thing: Thanksgiving. I worked almost every one and VGI had a Noon seating so we'd have the Thanksgiving meal there and do the home cooked one on Saturday. But about 7 years ago I started taking Thanksgiving off and VGI faded from memory. Until last Friday night! I have a friend who lives nearby but had never been. So VGI suddenly turned into her new neighborhood restaurant! Sat by the fireplace. Martinis...baked brie and ravioli appetizers...filet and Diver scallop entrees. All was right with the world. Valley Green Inn. It's not just for special occasions anymore!
Came here for lunch and loved it. The service was great and food was outstanding.
Our group of five all had an enjoyable lunch at the Valley Green Inn. The restaurant is an old historic building that sits on the banks of the Wissahickon Creek, very scenic with rustic elegance. The food was very good and satisfied all our varied tastes. The hot mulled cider and butternut squash soup were particularly enjoyable on a cold winter day. Our waitress was warm and friendly and offered some helpful suggestions about the food. She even offered tasting samples of the soup to help us in our selections. I would certainly recommend this restaurant to friends and family.
My wife and I visited Valley Green to celebrate her birthday. We've been there a few times before and have never been disappointed. I made reservations, and ordered flowers for the table. Upon our arrival, they took us directly to our table and just as planed, the flowers were there. The place is small and cozy. We were right next to the fireplace, on a cold December night. Service was very attentive, we never had to look for our server, the food was fantastic and brought to us at a very comfortable pace. I would certainly go again in a heart beat.

Orphaned javelina
SWCC on 11/19/2013Two orphaned baby javelina make their way to Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center.
Southwest Wildlife Conservation Center (SWCC) rescues native wild animals that have lost their homes to development, or are found injured, orphaned, or abandoned. When possible, the animals in our care are rehabilitated and released — healthy and wild — back where they belong.
Those animals that could not survive in the wild can live out their lives at our accredited sanctuary. We don't buy, breed, sell or trade animals, nor are the animals for hire or used for commercial purposes.
We're proud of our contribution to the recovery of an endangered species – the Mexican gray wolf. As a holding facility, we offer space at our sanctuary to care for part of the captive population of this rare wolf, and participate as a member of the Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan (SSP).
Southwest Wildlife shares its knowledge and passion about animals through education. We hope not only to educate, but also to inspire people to learn about and respect our wildlife and conserve its habitat.
Southwest Wildlife is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Although requests for assistance with wildlife come from state and federal agencies, individuals, law enforcement, and veterinarians, we are funded solely through private donations, fundraising and grants.
Help save a wild life by making a donation today.
Volunteers are the backbone of Southwest Wildlife. Lend us a hand!

Carmine's - Atlantic City
Online Reservations
A lovely meal was enjoyed by all at Carmine's. The food was delicious, the server was helpful and the atmosphere was relaxing ( just what I needed !!). Can't wait to return and try other items off the menu AND drink list !! Highly recommend visiting Carmine's while you are in AC !!
We had a great time, the staff was friendly and very attentive. Food was great. Will visit again on my next trip to A/C or NY
We went to carmine's to celebrate my 50th. The food was excellent, service was okay. They brought our food way too fast we felt rushed. Overall would go back very good!
It was so much food because everything is served family style but the food it's absolutely amazing! I was sad when I couldn't fit anymore food, but you can take home the leftovers which isn't bad at all =)
My dining experience was great. The food came out quickly and the servers were all so welcoming and helpful with any questions we may have had. The table my group was seated at was a little close to the next table over but other than that we had a great time.
We didn't get a reservation until 10:30, but was so worth the wait! Good was great as well as service!
I make it a point to get to Carmines every time I got to Atlantic City. This time was great as usual. Waited about 5-10 minutes after arriving with our reservation. Took a little bit of time for our server to come over after we were seated but from then on out everything was great. Food came right out, server kept our drinks filled and promptly took care of a split check when were were done. Will definitely be returning for another fantastic meal when I get back to AC.
Had a great time with my husband who loved the food!
We have been there many times, and have our favorites. The food is consistently delicious every time!
Carmine's is a family style restaurant. The food is delicious and even though they say one dish feeds 4, it will easily feed at least 6.
The restaurant is beautiful, the service is great and the food was delicious. The prices seem pretty high, but when you see the amount of food- definitely more than enough for 2! I will go back every time I can!
My wife and I (married 41 years) love this place. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The Rigatoni and Sausage was amazing as was the Carmines salad was so good. Service was on time and friendly, wines were affordable.
With my nine guest, I must say that the food was even better that the last time I was there. Quantities were as generous as usual and the variety was especially great. The service was very, very helpful in helping us select our dinner and our dessert, a great hit, titanic. I am sure to be visiting carmine's in the very near future.
A good restaurant with good food. Unable to understand why, instead of menus, customers are told to look at the wall, where the menu is posted. Reading is impossible. The restaurant is rather dark and the wall too far. We asked for menus and we received two menus for four people. We could not hear the specials because the place was really noisy. When we asked why there are no menus we were told: "This is a different style restaurant".
The food and service were phenomenal. Only issues were the noise level which reminded me of a high school cafeteria during a food fight and their espresso machine was broken. An Italian restaurant of that size and caliber should have some sort of backup for a broken espresso machine.
Fod was very good. Plenty of it. Waiter was great.
as always they never fail to provide a great meal and service.....
We all enjoyed our dinner. The food variety was wonderful. Our waitress guided us on how much to order and it was perfect. Very crowded so it was noisey. We all would go back.
We came to Atlantic city for an epic weekend and Carmine's Was the right touch. Three best friends from college And spouses enjoyed the atmosphere,laughs,and food. This trip and restaurant will be a forever favorite Memory.
We were a group of 5. The menu has a great selection of pasta, seafood, chicken and beef dishes. Our server was personable and attentive. There were two highly intoxicated individuals there while we were there. Their staff addressed them and had them removed so everyone else could enjoy themselves. Planning on going back for my son's 21st birthday.
Food was just fabulous. Special salad and the Chicken Scarpiello were a perfect combination. Carmine's is our favorite restaurant in Atlantic City. Actually our favorite anywhere!
I loved the look of the restaurant. The food was very delicious. They serve family style plates. More food than we could finish. I would definitely recommend eating at Carmine's in Atlantic City, NJ. I already made reservations to eat their again.
It was just my husband and I for dinner which was a bit of a concern because we know Carmine's is known for the family style servings. We split a Carmine's salad and a shrimp parmigiana and were extremely full and satisfied. Our original reservation was for 7:30 pm and the staff accommodated us to dine earlier, and paid special attention to my food allergy issues.
I was given a gift card to Carmine's by my coworkers because they know I love going to A.C. and NYC. What a great gift. Loved the food, waiter was friendly and just loved everything about the evening.
Food quality is excellent. Generous portions. Pricey ,but worth it!
We had a very enjoyable dining experience and the Food was delicious!
I enjoyed the family ambiance of the restaurant, the holiday decorations just made it feel like home and relaxed you for the family style dishes. The Carmine Salad was a great start to the meal along with the Calamari. The Entree's are well proportioned the shrimp and Veal Parmigiana was excellent not to much gravy. I do not remember the chicken dish by name but it was light and perfectly flavored (first on the chicken part of menu) I recommend that everyone has a Titanic, service was prompt polite and well experienced. Not only do I recommend for a business outing but also a night with friends, family or a date.
Have dined here before, it is festive and has a busy and celebratory vibe. The Italian food is very good, the diners must agree on the plates, as everything is served on huge platters, family style. The reservation process and getting seated right away at arrival was smooth and efficient. It is quite pricey, but our particular table looked out on the square at the Trop Quarter, so it was nice watching the people stroll by. The Trop's Christmas decorations are opulent, though their light show with accompanying very loud, fast holiday music was a bit distracting. We had a good meal, especially liked the veal parm,and a nice time, will return.
What can I say Carmines is the best, being of Italian decent the food is authentic Italian. It was my wife's birthday and the waitress and others sang Happy Birthday to her it was a super dining experience!!!! BRAVO!!!!
Can't beat this for solid Italian food- just don't expect a quiet atmosphere. Go with a group and have a fabulous time!
We're frequent visitors, and always enjoy our experience. It could be a little noisy at times, but I think that reflects the many celebration that occur there. Overall we enjoy our visits.
Huge portions (at least one entree for every 2 or 3 people). Considering the size of the dishes the food was excellent. We ordered shrimp scampi and chicken marsala and caesar salad. Was more than enough for 4 adults. With the pricing you would have thought it was expensive but in the end for four people eating out on a Saturday night with 3 glasses of wine it was relatively modest pricing, about $120 or $30 per person, very reasonable. I'd go back.
Thanks again Carmies for going above and beyond my expectations. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of out experience at your Atlantic City location. We do not go out to dinner often so it's nice to know Carmine's is always a good choice because they will not let us down. We started with the special salad which was fresh and amazing. For our entrees we had chicken parm, a pasta dish with the 3 cheeses, and steak with potatoes and peppers and sausage. Dessert we chose the Titanic. WOW was that good!!!
We had to wait 20 minutes after the reservation time to be seated. The service was slow. Food was good and plentiful.
we always go down to atlantic city the night before thanksgiving. Our new tradition is to start the holiday with dinner at Carmines then a little shopping in the quarter. We are never disappointed in the food or the service
Wonderfull and knowledgeable servers. Great portions!
We were a party of 10 on Thanksgiving. We wanted both the Thanksgiving meal plus the ability to order off to the menu. Personally, I ate stake with all the Thanksgiving trimmings-potatoes, sweet potatoes, veggies. It was a 46 ounce steak and delicious, but not enough for the 3 of us-2 kids and myself. Part of that weight was the bone-A big bone! Everything was delicious. The wait staff was great. We got seated on time. We should have ordered appetizers, not because of the amount of food-which is huge, but cause it took a long time to come out. It took 35 minutes to cook the steak. We would go back in a heartbeat.
The food was simply excellent!! The service was excellent!
My wife and I go here every year for Thanksgiving and have never been disappointed.
Carmine"s is always a must do when in A.C or in the city. My last traip was around Thanksgiving & the food is like mom in the kitchen & being a little kid again running home for dinner, dont be late & get ready to eat like a King & Queen with friends & family. I highly suggest a stop @ Carmine"s any chance you get, you wont regret it.
We always have a wonderful time when we visit Carmine's. The food is wonderful, the service is exceptional and the atmosphere is enjoyable. This is definitly one of our favorite resturants. Hope to try some other locations in the future.
The food is absolutely de-lish and and great family style portions
This is a great restaurant. The food was fantastic & the service was excellect.
Wonderful food & service, great atmosphere. Love that it's family style. House salad is top notch. Bring you friends, family and appetite.
Food was amazing!!!!The only thing was the waiting time,we had reservations to party of 2 and still we had to wait more then 45 minutes besides that everything else was amazing!!!
We had a party of 6 and the amount of food was perfect. We ordered the salad special, appetizer and an entree to share! It was very affordable and the food was incredible! Service was execellent! Went twice within 3 weeks and really enjoyed it! Would go back!!!
Did not like the waiter we had, he did not want to explain some of the different dishes, he did not serve our salad like the other waiters did for other tables, we walked away in the middle of asking for something, he never came over to see if we needed anything else, so we took the napkins from other tables so we could eat, we thought he was just rude in general.
We were a party of four and ordered Caesar salad, rigatoni bolognese and veal parmigiana, and not only was the food delicious, the portions were huge, and we had leftovers. I would highly recommend Carmine's.
No complaints. Excellent food as usual, great service, and an overall fantastic dining experience. Carmine's is a regular stop on our AC trips!
My wife is a picky eater and we get the same penne ala vodka and chicken parm every time and everytime it's the same and great. Will always come back for more when in AC and with group.

International standard at budget priceFriday, 09 March 2012
one of the few hotels in hcmc that doesn't rip you off
the location is superb in district 1 with everything within walking distance. don't let the lobby put you off as once you get to the room it's great - at least the the super deluxe double i stayed in. it's facing the road with a small balcony but the street noise is not disturbing. if you are from the countryside and believe that it should be quite in a city you might think differently though and prefer a room in the interior of the hotel. the breakfast room on the 7th floor is very airy and has nice views. the breakfast is good. the people working at the hotel are all very friendly and professional and i did not experience any of the hassle that seem to be so common in this city. even the taxi (vinasun) ride from the airport and for business visits around the city was without challenges. with the rate i paid i will definitely pick this hotel again for my next visit.

Always a Good StayFriday, 09 March 2012
Location Location Location
we stay for 3 nights during chinese new year - and another night after a cruise. the best thing is the location district 1. short walk to the river and just around the corner from the main festivities and displays that were happening during the week long celebrations. we paid a lil extra for the room with a balcony and given the time of year it was great to be ablke to watch the goings on. so many dragon dances, both in our hotel and the surrounding ones. the service was good however we did not eat here – so many choices around that area – the beer house next door is a great spot for a drink and has good value great tasting meals as well.
- Travel Tip: lemon grass, vietnam house, or liverty just around the corner.

A red-and-green makeover for year-round gathering
Donna Lauria says she loves entertaining in the Massapequa home she shares with husband Thomas, 47, and their two children. But space was tight. "We really needed a family room that could work for all of us," says Lauria, 47, of the decision to build an addition onto their house.
When it came time to decorate, she turned to designer Maureen DelPezzo of Be Still Design of Massapequa. Very big into Christmas -- including the colors red, green and gold -- Lauria wanted DelPezzo to incorporate some of her holiday decorations into the design of the 20-by-20-foot space.
"It makes me happy to sit in here," says Lauria, who adds that they now have room for big family gatherings.
TOTAL DECOR COST About $11,400 (includes $2,800 designer fee). -- Sylvia E. King-Cohen

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the current anthropological understanding of human evolution, which takes into account research into both physiological and cultural developments among our ancient ancestors.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.

Our perspective on the night sky changes hour by hour. That's because Earth is spinning on its axis, so as the hours pass we face different sections of the sky.
But this spinning also causes our perspective to change century by century. As Earth spins, it wobbles like a toy gyroscope. Earth's wobble is caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon. It takes 26,000 years to complete one wobble. During that time, the planet's axis aims at different points in the sky. That means that we have different "north stars" at different times.
Today, the North Star is Polaris. But around 5,000 years ago, the pole took aim at a different star: Thuban, in the constellation Draco, the dragon.
Draco's an ancient constellation that twists through the northern sky. Its brightest star is Eltanin, an Arabic name that means "the serpent." It's in Draco's head.
Thuban is far down the dragon's body, and it's only about a quarter as bright as Eltanin. But because of its role as the North Star, it has a far brighter history. The star played a role in the layout of the pyramids of Giza. In fact, a shaft in the Great Pyramid of Khufu took dead aim at Thuban -- the hub of the night sky.
Look for Draco high in the north at nightfall. Eltanin is just to the north of the brilliant star Vega, which is high overhead. The dragon's body serpentines its way toward the northern horizon -- through Thuban, and around Polaris, its successor as the North Star.

My absolute favorite cookies! I have made them numerous times and they are always amazing.
Reviewed Dec. 23, 2011
I found this cookie recipe a few years back and this is the only cookie my son requests for Christmas. I made a couple of changes after the first initial time making them. I add a few festive sprinkles on top when I bake half the cookies so they are pretty on top and since my son isn't that into cream cheese he prefers a buttercreme icing for the creamy middle.

9/17/2008: Event Advisory -- Sept. 24 Hearing on Sudan's Unraveling Peace and the Challenge to U.S. Policy |
UPDATE: Click here for a complete transcript of the event and the text of all witness testimony FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Judith Ingram, Communications Director Tel. 202/523-3240, ext. 127
The 2005 Sudanese Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) brought an end to a 22-year long north-south civil war that killed 2 million people and forced another 4 million to flee their homes. Today that fragile peace is at grave risk of collapsing. The CPA set a timeline of actions to be taken over six years, including a referendum in 2011 to decide whether the South would stay within a united Sudan or become independent. The CPA called for demarcation of disputed boundaries, revenue-sharing of Sudan's oil wealth, the establishment of local governments that are truly representative of local populations, institutional protections for human rights, and crucial preparations for elections at all levels, to be held next year, to establish the principle of democratic accountability. Many of those provisions remain unfulfilled. The hearing of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom will examine U.S. options for encouraging the full implementation of the peace agreement and averting a return to a bloody north-south civil war fueled in part by religious divisions. Confirmed witnesses include:

Okay, so..I'm a fairly advanced role-player. I've been role-playing for about what..? Five years now, maybe more..I've really lost count.
Anyway, that's not the point here. I'm looking for some new partners to role-play with. Just please bare in mind a few things.
I don't want just 1-2 liners. I'd like 3+lines per reply and I can easily write a few paragraphs when needed. I also don't play males. Can't play them very well and don't really enjoy it. So I'll be sticking to just females for now. I prefer darker role plays and scenes, so no light mushy stuff at least to start off with anyway. So, if interested and want to know more..please send a pm my way.
Oh also, I will add on I only play Sub characters and am open to most parings including supernatural but nothing to do with animals or animal forms.

There have been references here to programming tests that are used to hire programmers. Even Joel has written about such tests. While that makes a lot of sense for new or intermediate developers, is it appropriate when looking to hire an experienced developer? Is this expected by such developers or would this process chase them away?
The market for programmers is what you can consider a market for lemons: In short, a lot of people run around claiming to be programmers, but the knack for producing code (much less good, working code) is relatively rare in the population. Testing is a dual edged sword. But is probably necessary unless the person comes in the door with proof (social or otherwise) that they can contribute working code and designs. Unless the hiring party knows as much as a suitable programmer-candidate, you can never be quite sure that your questions are adequate to determine their ability level. Having sat on both sides of the interview desk I can assure you that it is exceptionally easy to snow someone with your "abilities" in a conversation. Here is the downside of any kind of testing. The best developers and most senior ones will often be exceptionally turned off by the requirement to perform a test or an online skill assessment. Many won't consider it "fun". One strong recommendation. If you DO implement a formal test, use someone else's or buy a test or use an online testing service. Do NOT attempt to write your own test. Virtually every "self created in house" test I have ever seen has been a terrible indicator of abilities. Some edits: You absolutely need some kind of objective "vetting" process in place. Here are my recommendations. If you have a network and you find a developer via recommendation from someone that you trust, then you should not need to test them, depending upon their pedigree of projects. (see next paragraph) If you have a candidate in hand via a placed ad or other general response, then they are an unknown, so they may need to be tested. If the candidate has a body of relevant work that they can refer to, and they can refer to clients for whom they did the work, then you should weight that heavily, and if the work is highly relevant, you should not need to test them. (As a senior developer, the greatest turn-off for me in interviewing has been the client or recruiting agency to whom I would provide a list of relevant projects, recommendations, and past clients, and they insist on a test anyway. ) Lastly, you need a probationary period as a failsafe. Maybe consider something called a "contract to hire" arrangement. You hire the person as a contractor and either convert them to a full time employee after the end of a probationary period, or you release them. | |||||||||
In my opinion you should test each and every developer. If you don't do, how do you know that he is an experienced developer? Do you judge based on the resume and his answers to somewhat unrelated questions? The company I used to work for did not test some of the developers. They eventually ended up firing most of them four to five months into the job. That was when they realised, that at least parts of the resume was made up or their 'experience' was more likely a 'I watched the real developers do the things and fetched the coffee' type. As for your concerns of annoying the prospective employee, I personally would not mind such a test, as long as it goes beyond the trivial or repeating buzzwords ("What technologies are you familiar with?" and the expected answer being something like "XML, C#, SOAP, REST, BDSM..."). In fact, I went to an interview for an internship at the development department of a very famous automobile manufacturer. The question that was most programming-related was "Which Design Patterns do you know? Please only state names, don't explain any." I turned down the offer after that interview. So I think that developers will see those tests as fun - don't worry about it and do it. | |||||||||||||||||
As a senior developer I get anxious if a prospective employer doesn't test me, unless they know me or have personal recommendations. I've seen what happens when people talk themselves into positions, and I wouldn't want to work in such an environment. Since I believe I'm competent I feel secure in these tests. I would also recommend against third-party testing. Their tests tend to be inane. Back-and-forth with a competent interviewer, including light coding, leaves me with a good feeling. | |||
I believe that It is essential to test developers first before hiring. This will help you prevent hiring a person who does not know the job, which will also save you time and money when hiring. The best way to test developers is to start from the most basic tasks when screening so that It can give you an idea if the applicants are capable to do the more advance work. | |||
