SAVE Sale at 25 West 15th Street #6
Did any one see it this weekend? Thoughts? Thanks.
saw it but think they already have an offer.
Not impressed. Very beat up, except for the kitchen, which is nice. It didn't help to pass a long line for what appeared to be a soup kitchen a few doors down the block.
bid on it, no go. many others as well.
no dogs, no go.
It's back on the market. I wondered did anyone notice an issue about the floors. They sloped a lot for a building of that age and creaked at every step. Also, every square foot was padded with carpet and felt.
Light sleepers below?
Actually its unavailable, which I believe usually means the sale fell through. This is the third loft I have seen over the past few months that supposedly had multiple bids went to contract and fell through.
But I agree, it is not in great shape.
There is a open house this Sunday. Vanhugo, good observation. Looks like the floor below must be forcing them to use carpets.
Thanks, Mercer. It's odd how reluctant some brokers are to actually discuss the apartment they are trying to sell. The flooring crunching would be an issue for many buyers myself included. Better to ignore the elephant in the room, I guess. Of course for the right buyer it may not matter or he may know how to rectify the problem.
Broker mentioned that carpets are a must. No go for us.

"Forever Wild" is the term in New York's constitution used to describe state forest preserves in the Adirondacks. Community leaders in and around the park have used that term to inform their vision for economic development. Their slogan – and the name of a conference held annually at Clarkson University in Potsdam – is "Forever Wired." The fourth conference continued a push to expand broadband internet access, and economic opportunity, in the Adirondacks.

Average review score based on 179 user reviews
of customers recommend this product
I have an EVO 4G, which I am happy with. I bought this for my wife. She's a BB user, and she wanted a physical keyboard. I thought she would appreciate the advantages of the Android OS. After three days of struggling to understand a new operating system, she asked for her BB back.
In retrospect, the advantages were not enough to sell her on the product. She did not appreciate the modest increase in screen size, and the learning curve was too steep.
At the (used) price, it's cheap enough to buy just to try.
The keyboard on the screen is kind of annoying and given the technology, you'd think that the phone would have a forward facing camera. However, the phone is a great size and the multiple screens can be customized to meet your needs. overall it's a user friendly phone.
This is a very solid phone that feels nice in the hand. The size is just right, I personally don't like the idea of walking around with a huge phone in my pocket. This is not considered a top end phone because it is missing a front facing camera and it has a slower processor than the bigger phones. Even though it's processor isn't as fast the device still is very responsive. Missing the front facing camera isn't a big deal ether, people who actually have them don't use them.
The battery is good, however the more you use the screen the faster it will drain (just like on any other touch screen phone). It easily makes it through a normal day. This is probably the one of the most under rated phones out today.
Only suggestion I have to buyers is that they should leave the phone with the original software, which is android 2.2. The htc 2.3 update makes the phone reset when the memory gets low.
Love, love, love this phone! It's my first smartphone, so obviously I'm a little glossy-eyed, but having the slide out keyboard is very handy, though I can't type quite as fast on it as I could on my previous phone. The touch-screen keyboards are surprisingly intuitive about what you MEANT to hit, so I kind of prefer to use those. It also features voice-to-text, which makes life easier.
All in all, the phone is pretty fast, though the battery life sucks (quelle surprise); I get about 1.5-2 days with little voice use and without a live background.
The camera has great resolution and I fell in love with the "depth of field" effect. Makes for awesome pictures.
This phone is ok. Not built well. Scratches easy. No front facing camera. Keyboard works well. Touchscreen works very well and is clear. Overall a good but for the price. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

About William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare passed away on his 52nd birthday, and the cause of his death remains a mystery. He died on April 23 (Julian calendar) which is May 4. Buried at Holy Trinity Churchyard. His wife Anne Hathaway is also buried there. WGA
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon".[nb 2] His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays,154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At the age of 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: Susanna, and twins Hamnet and Judith. Between 1585 and 1592, he began a successful career in London as an actor, writer, and part owner of a playing company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. He appears to have retired to Stratford around 1613, where he died three years later. Few records of Shakespeare's private life survive, and there has been considerable speculation about such matters as his physical appearance, sexuality, religious beliefs, and whether the works attributed to him were written by others.
Shakespeare produced most of his known work between 1589 and 1613.[nb 4] His early plays were mainly comedies and histories, genres he raised to the peak of sophistication and artistry by the end of the 16th century. He then wrote mainly tragedies until about 1608, including Hamlet, King Lear, and Macbeth, considered some of the finest works in the English language. In his last phase, he wrote tragicomedies, also known as romances, and collaborated with other playwrights.
Many of his plays were published in editions of varying quality and accuracy during his lifetime. In 1623, two of his former theatrical colleagues published the First Folio, a collected edition of his dramatic works that included all but two of the plays now recognised as Shakespeare's.
Shakespeare was a respected poet and playwright in his own day, but his reputation did not rise to its present heights until the 19th century. The Romantics, in particular, acclaimed Shakespeare's genius, and the Victorians worshipped Shakespeare with a reverence that George Bernard Shaw called "bardolatry". In the 20th century, his work was repeatedly adopted and rediscovered by new movements in scholarship and performance. His plays remain highly popular today and are constantly studied, performed and reinterpreted in diverse cultural and political contexts throughout the world.
"Most scholars now believe that Emilia Bassano was the Dark Lady of Sonnets 127-151 written by William Shakespeare and that she had an affair with him. Emilia Bassano was a feminist at a time when there were not many others. Emilia Bassano was a musician and a poet. The instrument she played was called the virginals and was a forerunner of the piano of today. She published a book of poetry with a Christian theme not long after Shakespeare's sonnets were published." -Source Obscure
William Shakespeare's Timeline
1557 |
His parents, John and Mary (Arden), were married about 1557; she was of the landed gentry, he a yeoman—a glover and commodities merchant. By 1568, John had risen through the ranks of town government and held the position of high bailiff, similar to mayor. William, the eldest son, was born in 1564, probably on April 23, several days before his baptism on April 26, 1564. . http://www.enotes.com/william-shakespeare/shakespeare-biography |

From Simon Gromb: In his biography Peter ACKROYD says that the banns were published on the 30 november and the marriage the same day or perhaps the following day. So, we can say 30 november 1582 (not 1852, I suppose). * * * Therefore, the date has been changed from 28 November 1852 to 30 November 1582. |

No one knows for certain how Shakespeare first started his career in the theatre, although several London players would visit Stratford regularly, and so, sometime between 1585 and 1592, it is probable that young Shakespeare could have been recruited by the Leicester's or Queen's men. Whether an acting troupe recruited Shakespeare in his hometown or he was forced on his own to travel to London to begin his career, he was nevertheless an established actor in the great city by the end of 1592. http://www.shakespeare-online.com/biography/shakespeareactor.html At some point during the "dark years," Shakespeare began his career with a London theatrical company—perhaps in 1589—for he was already an actor and playwright of some note in 1592. Shakespeare apparently wrote and acted for Pembroke's Men, as well as numerous others, in particular Strange's Men, which later became the Chamberlain's Men, with whom he remained for the rest of his career. . http://www.enotes.com/william-shakespeare/shakespeare-biography Records also tell us that several of Shakespeare's plays were popular by this time, including Henry VI, The Comedy of Errors, and Titus Andronicus. The company that staged most of the early productions of these plays was Pembroke's Men, sponsored by the Earl of Pembroke, Henry Herbert. The troupe was very popular and performed regularly at the court of Queen Elizabeth. Most critics conclude that Shakespeare spent time as both a writer and an actor for Pembroke's Men before 1592. http://www.shakespeare-online.com/biography/shakespeareactor.html |

Great for groups, you once you get there is not much to worry about but to have fun. Food is abundant but it must be scheduled for dinners or you are... stuck at the buffet for dinners. Beach is right of the hotel. Pool is awesome with a pool bar. Recommend getting the oceanview but not necessary if you want to save some money all the rooms are the same. Double beds are pushed together. Room service is 24 hours a day and included. Sport Bar is open 24 hours but the hotel pretty much shuts down after 10pm. Location from Puerto Vallerta is about 20 mins cab or about $25-$35 us dollars. Always check the price before getting in to cab. Over a great hotel and would stay again. by Miss Mary from Texas on 06/11/2013

Holland Groves Attorneys Defeat Railroad's Motion for Summary Judgment.
A U.S. District Court Judge recently agreed with Holland, Groves, Schneller & Stolze, LLC in rejecting the Norfolk Southern Railway Company's attempt to avoid FELA liability by calling one of its switchmen a "maritime worker." The plaintiff was injured at an east coast coal loading facility that the railroad claimed made his exclusive remedy the federal Longshore Act, a workers' compensation scheme for federal harbor workers. The Honorable Rodney W. Sippel issued an 8-page order rejecting this tactic and ordering that the case be tried as a FELA case.
The National Transportation Safety Board makes the following recommendations to the Federal Railroad Administration:
A jury in Texas rejected the BNSF Railway Company's long-standing use of rough-riding locomotives with " toad stool" seats, returning a verdict against the railroad for over $1.2 Million for a 63 year-old retired locomotive engineer who claimed that his lower back was injured because of years of riding on engines for the railroad.
In the railroad industry, deadhead transportation is a way of life for many. Today, the most common method of deadheading is a contract van company. There are a wide variety of van companies that have contracted with the various railroads to provide transportation services to railroad workers. This transportation of railroad workers has been deemed by courts to be the "operational activity" of the railroad and, therefore, within the scope of coverage of the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) if an accident occurs on a deadhead trip.
If you work for the railroad in or around Illinois, you should be aware that under a recent Illinois court opinion, you cannot sue your railroad employer if you are fired due to getting hurt at work. Although this was long believed to be true by most attorneys practicing in the railroad field, an Illinois appellate court has ruled that railroad workers cannot sue under the long-recognized Illinois tort of "retalitory discharge", a claim that can be brought if a worker in Illinois is terminated due to exercising his or her workers' compensation rights.

Before the war, when Saddam Hussein was in charge, and after the war, when he was deposed. Before the war, when his family was whole, and after the war, when he lost friends and family members to insurgent attacks.
A month after the bombing, his head remains bandaged from a shrapnel wound. He can't see out of his right eye.
He's counting the days until he can go back to work as a construction day laborer.
"I don't want to live like this, I want to go back to a normal life," he said.
'Trying to figure out if it was worth it'
U.S. Army Capt. Mark Askew had seen some of the very worst of the fighting in Iraq, battling insurgents street by street in 2007 as part of a strategy that saw thousands of American troops push into areas held by Sunni militants and hold it.
Askew also saw positive changes take hold in Iraq, from its military taking responsibility for security to its lawmakers standing up a fledgling democracy.
When he left last year, on the last U.S. military convoy to leave the country, he wondered what would happen to Iraq.
Askew, who is 29, was at West Point when the war began in 2003. He watched its beginnings like many Americans -- on television.
He first stepped foot in Iraq in 2007 as part of then-President George W. Bush's "surge" policy: Push into territory held by Sunni militants and hold it.
His assignment was Mosul, 400 kilometers north of Baghdad, where Iraqi security forces were struggling to hold the city. It was there that Askew first learned the human cost of war: His executive officer was killed in a roadside bomb, leaving him briefly in charge while awaiting a replacement.
"I grew up on my first deployment," said Askew, who lives in Tampa, Florida. "It made me appreciate my family more. It made me appreciate politically what we have."
Askew returned to Iraq in 2011 with a military police unit. He was charged with securing U.S. troops at bases in the southern Shiite heartland where they were routinely targeted by Iranian-backed insurgents.
Even as he left Iraq, he wondered about the country's future: Will Iraq be stable? Will its government align itself with Iran?
The same questions have been asked by a number of Americans, from lawmakers to soldiers, as reports emerge that the United States has warned Iraq against allowing Iran to use its airspace to ship weapons to Syria, its ally.
"We're all kind of watching Iraq right now, and trying to figure out if it was worth it," he said.
'I see no good future for Iraq'
Last year, on "Iraq Day," Mahdi Auda Ghanam's family celebrated.
This year, the 25-year-old's family is in mourning. Ghanam was killed by a car bomb as he walked to a small repair shop he operated in the Shula district. It was the same November attack that wounded Adel.
"We were happy, and I distributed candies to neighbors when the Americans left Iraq last year. We thought the war was over and there would be no more killing and destruction," Ghanam's mother, Mahdiya, said. "I don't know who to blame. They said al Qaeda, but where is al Qaeda? I blame those who don't fear God."

A faulty fuel pump that reared it's head in the Pro Open final, sidelined both team riders, putting Robbie Malinoski's championship run on delay for one round.
The weekend was a nonstop battle for teams and race officials, as heavy wind and rain pounded the Canterbury Park race site as it played host to the Air Force national. The track, which is traditional one longest and widest of the season, held plenty of snow throughout the weekend, but moisture content, poor
visibility and ever-changing conditions made it extremely tough on riders and equipment.
Despite the weather Canterbury Park, as is traditionally the case, was packed to the rafters with fans from the Minneapolis/St. Paul market.
Malinoski and Andrew Johnstad started the weekend strong, qualifying on the front row for the Pro Stock final. Malinoski was trapped in a mid-pack position early in the race and held on for a ninth, while Johnstad was involved in an incident and was scored as 15th.
Pro Open saw AJ rebound with a heat race win as both he and Robbie put in strong runs to again position themselves on the front row. Both riders' machine began to cut out sporadically during the event, before nearly shutting down altogether. This was one of the few mechanical DNFs the team has suffered in recent years and was quickly identified as faulty fuel pump. "This is normally a part that we would not have to replace all season" said team owner Steve Scheuring. It was later learned that other teams experienced the same issue, but the timing could not have been worse.
On the bright side, the issue has been resolved and the team is back at full speed as they head for the Winter X-Games.

Waterford Wedgewood Goes Into Administration
Filed under: Decor
The latest luxury company to hit trouble is Waterford Wedgwood. The Dublin-based company announced on Monday that 10 British units and four businesses in Ireland have been placed into administration after running out of money and failing to find a buyer. The NY Times reports that the other subsidiaries in the U.S., Germany, Canada and elsewhere are not affected. The company has been in talks with lenders for months while a suitable buyer was sought. After takeover talks failed on Friday a group of lenders decided to suspend a covenant that is part of Waterford's loan agreement. Waterford is famous for their crystal and for making the ball that drops each New Year's Eve in Times Square. Waterford Wedgwood was created in 1986 when the Irish crystal maker Waterford acquired the British ceramics company Wedgwood. Wedgwood was founded in 1759 by Josiah Wedgwood and Waterford was founded in 1783 by the brothers William and George Penrose. Sales for the year ending in April 2008 were down 9.4 percent from a year earlier and the company posted a loss of 231 million euros, up from 71 million euros.

Seasoned Traveler: Caribbean Buffet
"Oh, dear me," Patrick Brown says with a laugh, cradling his face in his hands. "People quite often tell me I should document my story. There are so many."
There's the story about how the Jamaican boy ended up in Vermont. And how he became a leader in the black community. And, of course, there's the one about how Brown has kept his restaurant, Caribbean Buffet [1], going for 20 years in the changeable Old North End of Burlington.
Since 1990, Caribbean Buffet — or Caribbean Corner, as it was called before Brown added the steam table in the late '90s — has been a meeting place and open food secret in Burlington. In its original incarnation, the restaurant was also a dance hall, with music spun by University of Vermont debate coach Alfred "Tuna" Snider [2]. And it has been and still is, as Brown puts it, an unofficial "counseling center" for the community.
Caribbean Buffet is the rare example of a local island-style or soul-food restaurant with staying power. After quickly enumerating five such Burlington eateries that came and went since he opened his, from Glori Nori in the Vermont House [3] to Southern Soul farther up North Winooski Avenue, Brown shakes his head. "The life of Caribbean restaurants around the country is very short lived," he says. Today, Marsala Salsa [4] in Waterbury, which also serves Mexican food, is the only other Caribbean eatery in Vermont.
Brown's has stood the test of time thanks to his fierce survival instinct, endearing personality and, of course, delicious food. The owner holds a PhD in education and serves as an adjunct instructor for classes focusing on race and the Caribbean at UVM. When he's not on campus, he's holding court at the restaurant.
"Public belief is that I live in the back," Brown says with a chuckle. On a block with a higher-than-average incidence of robberies, he notes, fostering that belief can be an asset: "I'm probably one of the only ones on the block that hasn't been broken into."
When asked his age, Brown covers his face and giggles coyly. "Oh, dear me! No!" he playfully shrieks before allowing that he is 57.
Brown left Jamaica to attend college at Concordia University in Montréal, where he earned his BA in marketing. Next, he headed to St. Michael's College for his master's, then to a university in St. Kitts for his doctorate. Brown has remained in the Burlington area ever since, though he says each year the return of cold weather prompts him to threaten it will be his last in Vermont.
"People always wonder why I stand in front of the window," Brown says of his wintertime habit of looming at his storefront. "Little do they know, I'm actually standing in front of the heater."
While he put himself through school, Brown worked as a cook and dishwasher. Though he says all Jamaicans have a passion for food, his certainly grew as he spent time in the industry.
When he opened Caribbean Corner, Brown prepared a small core of standard Jamaican recipes. Twenty years later, the menu hasn't changed much. The stars are crisp jerk chicken speckled with mouth-numbing Scotch bonnet peppers and dark, rich chicken curry. On weekends, Brown shares a package of goat meat from Winding Brook Farm [5] with the owners of Shalimar of India; he makes it into goat curry.
It's also on weekends when Brown turns on his steam table, from which diners can choose and consume offerings — for $15 — until they burst. He prides himself on providing a filling meal, with no special accommodations, to vegetarians and vegans. They can graze on callaloo — braised leafy greens, lightly seasoned rice and beans, sweet candied carrots, and seasonal vegetables. Brown makes his Jamaican patty appetizers by stuffing the yellow pie crust with either curry-tinged beef or veggies.
Brown's written menu is small, but he will make guests anything they desire — with a few days' notice. He recently turned down a request from a fellow professor to make a conch feast for his entire class just one day in advance, he says. With more lead time, he can offer lovingly prepared oxtail, Caribbean fruitcake (a plum-pudding spinoff, often called "black cake" for its intense color), or saltfish and ackee.
The last dish has special cachet. Ackee is a fruit related to the lychee and sometimes known as "vegetable brain." Like the poisonous blowfish, it has just one edible part — and only when it has been harvested at the right time and properly cleaned and boiled. Canned ackee was illegal in the United States until 2005, and fresh ackee still is. Brown says he is profiled as Caribbean and routinely searched for it whenever he returns to the States from Canada.
Back home in Jamaica, however, ackee is enjoyed as breakfast, along with cured, rehydrated fish and rice and beans. Brown says his cooked ackee resembles scrambled eggs in both appearance and taste.
Mark Akey, owner of Akes' Place [6] in Burlington, is a longtime fan of Caribbean Buffet. "It's kind of like eating in [Patrick's] own home, and the food's great," he says. Akey is particularly fond of Brown's beef patties. "He's hardworking, too," Akey adds. He better be — Brown is Caribbean Buffet's only employee.
Brown greets each customer at Caribbean Buffet with a glass of ginger beer, to which Jamaicans attribute curative properties. Then he selects some fruits and heads to the juicer. Brown says his favorite thing to prepare at his restaurant is fruit juice: "I get very creative with the drinks," he notes. "Since it's such a small operation, I do wonders with each of those fruit drinks." They include anything from strawberry and banana to guava and passionfruit — whichever fruits look best at City Market [7], where Brown is on the board of directors.
During the summer, Brown picks up many of his fresh herbs and vegetables at the Burlington Farmers Market. He no longer has to travel to Hartford, Conn., for spices, as he did when his restaurant first opened. Now he heads down the street to Mawuhi African Market [8]. Chicken comes from a frequent customer who happens to have a small farm.
Brown's charm perhaps helps sustain his restaurant. His gilt-edged, pink-rose-patterned china was a gift from a customer when she left the state. The crystal in which he serves desserts such as pineapples in cinnamon cream has a similar story. The buffet table, modish lighting and booths were free, too.
What isn't free, Brown manages to get on the cheap. He eschews Costco and traditional restaurant suppliers in favor of Big Lots in Essex and Williston's Mr. G's Liquidation Center. (At the latter wholesaler, ultra-fluffy toilet paper goes for 29 cents a roll, he confides, presenting one.) The cheerful, fruit-patterned juice glasses came from a dollar store, where Brown bought them one at a time. "Coming from the Caribbean, you make do with what you have," he explains.
He helps others do the same. Brown has earned a Coveted Badge Award from the Burlington Police Department [9], a Community Impact Award from the United Way of Chittenden County [10], and even a certificate from the Daughters of the American Revolution [11]. He's the founder and executive director of the Greater Burlington Multicultural Resource Center [12]. Last June, Brown was a prominent voice advocating for a mixed-race couple whose St. Albans wedding [13] had been interrupted by the border patrol.
Each January, Brown organizes the Burlington Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. remembrance event. Guest speakers have included such big names as Dick Gregory, Cicely Tyson, Anita Hill and educator Stedman Graham (perhaps better known as Oprah Winfrey's consort). For an unrelated event at UVM in 2005, Brown even enticed Desmond Tutu to brave the Vermont weather. He fed them all.
But he doesn't just hobnob with the rich and famous. According to Brown, he's often the first person his neighbors turn to when they're in search of a job. In the space of a 90-minute interview, about a dozen neighbors and students stop in at Caribbean Buffet to chat. Some are from the Caribbean themselves.
According to Martha Maksym, director of community investments at United Way of Chittenden County, "Most of us have been touched by Patrick." Maksym calls Brown no less than "a visionary," adding, "He is someone who has been a champion for recognizing diversity and inclusion in this community. He's a quiet hero."
Popularity in the community has its downside: People often stop in to ask Brown for money, among other things. "You would find it so dramatic the things people ask," says Brown. "I was standing at the door last week, and a gentleman who was new in town from Trinidad said, 'You guys are from the islands; you must have some pot.' Another young guy came in and asked if I had some cocaine. If that were the case, there would probably be a line out my door!"
All Brown can offer is a patient ear. He doesn't have any jobs to offer, since Caribbean Buffet is a one-man operation. That's why, on days when his classes run late, so does dinner. To address the problem, Brown plans to hold next semester's labs right in the restaurant so he can teach, serve and cook.
Although Brown spends a lot of time at the restaurant, he serves dinner only — and acknowledges that many locals think this is not enough. "If I were open more, I would be burnt out," he says. He hopes to put his business on a stable enough footing so he can hire others to help serve during the lunch hour. "I have my eyes set on bigger goals," Brown says.
That includes someday opening a Caribbean food store where the area's growing island community — including more than a few UVM students — can purchase all its favorite items.
Fans of Caribbean Buffet often suggest to Brown that he could expand his business if he moved it to Church Street. Brown disagrees. "Something like this," he says, "you don't need to have a prime location. If I were in Essex and had a Caribbean restaurant, people would find it."

Moving to strengthen the security of the United States' critical information infrastructure, President Barack Obama on Tuesday signed an executive order that calls upon federal agencies to review existing cybersecurity regulations and determine whether they enjoy the legal authority to require improved corporate defenses. The order, which the president announced in his State of the Union address, will allow for improved sharing of cyberthreat information between the government and private companies and develop federal standards for deterring attacks. The initiatives raise significant legal questions for the nation's biggest industries.

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."
Once we recognize that no one takes the text literally, and that we have often failed to account for the details in the text regarding the time of day, we can begin anew to try to understand the text as an ancient text rather than as a modern one. As such, we must begin with the idea that the text operates in the world of omens, not the world of physics and astronomy.
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.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
Old Testament scholar and BioLogos ECF grantee John H. Walton spent the first seven months of 2013 traveling around the United States and fifteen other countries lecturing on Genesis 1 - 3. In this series, we feature John's reflections on his world tour and the insights he gained from his conversations.
This series, by Old Testament scholar Richard S. Hess, was first published as an appendix to Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (Downers Grove: IVP Academic; Nottingham: Apollos, 2011).
It is precisely the recognition of the qualities of elegance, economy and naturalness which solves the problem of the under-determination of theory by experiment, so often pressed by philosophers of science, who sometimes speak of the process of discovery as if it were a dull routine of fitting curves to data points.
If your core value is serving God and you believe that anything but a literal interpretation of the Bible is disobedient to God, you can't hear any of the scientific arguments, and that was the way it was with me. Until I dealt with the loyalty question, I could not proceed to the science.
With a high-school level understanding of science and theology, I was convinced by this "either-or" argument and, to my knowledge, became the first Young Earth Creationist in my local Nazarene church. I knew the enemy and the enemy had a name. It was Evolution.
For concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse to match the current scientific picture. For non-concordists, the temptation is to interpret every Bible verse that appears to disagree with science as figurative.
I had spent so much time using the Bible as evidence to prove my point that I hadn't bothered to consider its intended purpose. It was as if I had been given a nice new pair of shoes, but instead of wearing them and letting them take me where I needed to go, I had been using them to kill bugs, prop open doors, and fix wobbly table legs.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Many people assume that until Darwin came along, devout Christians everywhere read and understood Genesis in the same way. But Dr. Pak points out that some of the most revered figures in Christian history--Origen, Augustine, Aquinas, Luther, and Calvin--offered insightful but distinctive interpretations of the text that are often overlooked today. First presented at a symposium in Raleigh, NC, Dr. Pak's paper is presented here as a three part series.

President Obama now doubling down on his campaign claim about small business owners the one where he said -- and build that.
Republicans pouncing on the statement and their attacks seem to be gaining some traction among voters now the president is running a new campaign ad.
Arguing his words were taken out of context listen.
Course Americans build their own businesses and every day hardworking people sacrificed to meet payroll and create jobs and make our economy Iraq.
No what I said was that we need to stand behind this America always -- -- by investing in education and training roads and bridges.
Let's talk about a Charlie -- a columnist for The Washington Times clearly what the president said that it happened.
Yeah must of stung him on the campaign is now with this scripted add to answer sort of an unscripted moment.
Yet this is a really really bad situation for the Obama campaign.
-- for two reasons one is.
I think it's a very you know this very well could wind up being a defining.
In in the the the larger campaign.
For four -- for Mitt Romney's campaign anyway.
But it also because you know the first effort to try to to defuse this the that the -- -- -- their faces that first of Obama campaign tried to say that that Mitt Romney was making things up or -- said it was.
But we'll miss quoting Obama or something like that but even that there that in which they said that that they -- stated what Obama said which was exactly what what Mitt Romney you've quoted him as saying.
It's I think this is a very very troubling situation for that.
Obama campaign and anytime you have.
Have a campaign.
How with two separate ads in two weeks.
Defending themselves.
You're a bad situation -- -- -- on your explaining or defending.
You know in politics you're you're losing.
Well on the -- Romney supporters say what it what it points to is -- the president's overall mindset that.
Government sort of beast goes blessings upon business and and everything flows from government down lot of conservatives see -- the opposite way.
They're precisely I think the reason this could wind up being an a defining statement in the campaign.
Is that it does it it highlights the different mentality of the two candidates where President Obama.
Makes the argument.
That that that big government is the secret sauce in the American economy and that it's it's the government largess that makes the economy work.
And I think most Americans and certainly Mitt Romney would argue that no it's it's an American ingenuity it's hard work.
It's it's individuals who are wanting to.
Better their lives that is what.
You know that's with the secret sauce and the American economy well you know even if you put into comics.
You know his argument that roads.
An infrastructure helps small businesses -- -- they they do nobody would argue that they don't.
But but you know -- this does Obama think pay for those roads and the infrastructure.
Of the fact that the president is still responding to what he himself said leaves some openings -- -- the Mitt Romney campaign take a quick listen to this.
I'm they know that there's some people to think what the president said it was just a gaffe.
It wasn't a gaffe.
It was his -- is ideology.
The president does in fact believe that people who build enterprises like this really are responsible for it.
It's so as long as the back and forth continues its advantage Romney isn't Charlie.
Oh absolutely.
And you know that -- there isn't no there's nothing that nothing that Ronnie can say about this that isn't sort of to his advantage because it does highlight.
The difference -- and you know innovative going to the heart of it.
What but what of the President Obama said in -- what I think he believes you know.
It's that belief that we see that -- it has led to these huge investments in things like Solyndra.
He does believe that that it's the government that has it -- to sort of step in and fill up all these gaps that are left by.
By free enterprise which -- exactly right.
As long as we're talking about all this and as a -- is president Obama's campaign is putting out.
Campaign ads spending money on ads trying to explain all of this.
It is a win for running the toothpaste is out of the tube -- some might offend cheerleaders from The Washington Times Charlie thank you thanks.

September 12, 2007 An outbreak of Ebola hemorrhagic fever has been confirmed in West Kasai province, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is reinforcing its emergency team already working on the ground. A team of specialists has been dispatched as well. What is Ebola?Dr. Armand Sprecher is an MSF physician specialized in hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola and Marburg. He is currently advising MSF in the fight against the Ebola epidemic in the province of West Kasai, Democratic Republic of Congo. In this interview, he describes Ebola hemorrhagic fever and the measures that are taken to control the outbreak. Blog: Ebola in DRCRead the blog of Zoe Young, a water & sanitation expert, currently stationed in the DRC working on the outbreak of Ebola in West Kasai province. Late on Monday, September 10, the Congolese Ministry of Health officially declared an outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever in the province of West Kasai. Laboratories in Atlanta, USA, and in Franceville, Gabon, have confirmed the presence of Ebola virus in samples. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a total of 372 suspected cases have been reported and 166 people have died — a mortality rate of approximately 45 percent. Not all these deaths are necessarily due to Ebola, however. The presence of other diseases is also suspected, such as Shigella dysentery. Since the end of April, cases of an unknown illness started to be reported in the region of Mweka, a town of 9,000 inhabitants in West Kasai, about two days drive from Kananga, the provincial capital. Over the last two weeks, more suspected cases were reported in the health zones of Mweka, Kampungu, Luebo, and even one in Kananga. MSF is working in the health center of Kampungu, the most affected health zone. There are 12 patients currently hospitalized, of whom three are in severe condition. Patients present with high fever, headaches, vomiting, diarrhea, and, in some cases, external or internal bleeding. Case fatality rates have ranged from 50 to 90 percent Typically, by the end of the second week of illness, patients succumb to multiple organ failure. No vaccine or treatment exists for this type of infection, so MSF isolates suspected cases to prevent spread of the disease to other patients, health care workers, and families, treats the symptoms and reduces the suffering of patients. While waiting for the results of specialized testing for the organism, patients have been isolated, treated with antibiotics and given supportive therapy for low blood pressure and breathing difficulties. Since September 2, a team from MSF's DRC-based emergency team has been working in Kampungu. The team consists of a physician, a nurse and a logistician, and has already been reinforced by a choordinator from the Emergency Unit from Brussels, Belgium, two water-and-sanitation specialists, and a social worker. Additional physicians, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation specialists, an epidemiologist, and an expert in Ebola fever, will arrive in West Kasai in the coming days, bringing the MSF team to a total of 15 people. MSF has responded to previous outbreaks of hemorrhagic fever, of Ebola or Marburg types: in Angola (2005), Gabon (1997 and 2002), Uganda (2001), Congo-Brazzaville (2003/2004), southern Sudan (2004). In DRC, MSF responded to a major Ebola outbreak in Kikwit, capital of the neighboring province of Bandundu, in 1995. This epidemic killed 244 people between May and August 1995. "Ebola medical kits" will be sent by plane from Lubumbashi and from Kinshasa. These kits are made up of protection kits for the team—surgeon and plastic gloves, boots, glasses, masks, protection uniforms, apron and hoods—for single use. The disease is highly contagious and protective clothing can only be used once and then must be carefully destroyed. Additional material designed to take samples from sick patients and to transport them will reach Kananga on Thursday. Medical supplies, such as perfusions, antibiotics, anti-malaria drugs, as well as food rations, are being prepared in the DRC capital, Kinshasa, and are scheduled to arrive in West Kasai province on Wednesday. Water-and-sanitation material, such as water tanks and chlorine for disinfection will also be sent. The MSF team will continue to isolate infected persons in the health center of Kampungu; trace actively the people who have been in contact with sick patients; and raise awareness among the population about the basic rules to prevent the transmission of the disease. |

Baskets not what they used to be
By KMBBB
from Seattle, WA
About Me Homeowner
I received these same baskets in 2010 when my daughter was born. I liked them so much that I when I became pregnant again I wanted them for my new babies room. I went to get them and noticed they were darker in color. They were a black/brown instead of an espresso and looked like they had been spray painted. I still purchased them and when I got them home I carried then 5 feet inside and they got sprinkled on. I opened the basket and the liners were all black from whatever spray that was on the baskets. I then looked down and my hands were black, my couch was black, my shirt was covered in a black substance. I attempted to wash my hands several times and it would not come off, it stained my shirt and after scrubbing my couch for an hour it finally all came off. My husband immediately returned them and only got a sorry. I will be looking for baskets somewhere else. I couldn't imagine if a damp towel got on the basket and then stained all the clothes. These baskets are not worth it.

I really enjoy the different sizes of baskets along with the one that has different compartments that you can put different baby essentials in for changing diapers. The hamper and wastebasket are great too!

I love that it has linen liners that you can wash if needed and I love that you can store things in the baskets and make it look pretty in the room. The baskets are also sturdy which makes it very easy to lift and not worry about them breaking.
