Turns out I'm kind of a pioneer in calling the Nintendo Entertainment System the "NES", so I guess that makes two of us.
The thing is, there is documented proof of me being the first to coin and use the term in reference to the neogeo consumer system and the cartridges.
AES = ROM/Home
Even snk-japan and snk-america did not use that term to promote or market the consumer system. And they still don't. There is not a single pamphlet or brochure that had the acronym "AES" for the consumer system in 20 years. Snk used the term ROM and HOME for the AES system and cartridges. (look at the manuals)
AEP, AEC, ProGear-Spec, Rom, home console
SNK also AEC, AEP, ROM cartridge, as well as NGH (sequence code for AES/MVS titles), but snk never used the term AES for/when they spoke and marketed their consumer neogeo product. I have boxes and invoices to further prove this.
I'll take a photo tonight of the original AEP boxes.
For now, here are some photos with the boxes saying "Home System"
(snk never used the term "AES" or "AES system" in any promotion, invoices, or packaging)
I'm just stating the facts and it's all well documented online.

My old account was pruned... *sob*
AES is also on the MVS cabinet. Including the original Japanese one. It's also part of the MVS boot up screen.
Back in the day, AES was NOT described as "AES" carts. They were just Neo Geo Home Carts, abbreviated as NGH carts. This is still sometimes used to this day.
The Neo Geo was always the Neo Geo AES but technically so is the MVS. The Neo Geo AES MVS.
What Dion is saying is that her used popularized the concept of specifying home carts as specifically "neo geo AES carts" as opposed to just caling it a "home cart".
Both don't EXACTLY make sense. Like Dion said any cart in the home is a "home cart" but any MVS cart is still technically an AES cart.
But he DID popularized the concept of the AES/MVS differentiation.
Thanks for pointing this out again, but it's all been said by Dion already and also common knowledge. By the way, neither "AES" nor "MVS" are part of any boot screen.
Nice talking here. Thanks for sharing all the information, Dion. I've had a blast reading through this thread. I've got a question as well:
From today's point of view and considering the elitist Neo Geo collector's community, would consider starting to collect Neo Geo nowadays? To give you an example: I was too young to buy Neo Geo carts when they were up-to-date and now most of the rare carts have disappeared in some great collections. There's also no way to reexperience unique things like your collaboration with SNK USA/Japan did, so starting a new collection in 2011 would mean a fresh start into a dead system with a lot of hoarders and a little amount of available items.
Would you recommend to start a collection despite all these obstacles? I enjoy the Neo Geo and I buy MVS stuff to play it, but I can't bring myself to buy expensive AES cartridges because (apart from the financial issue) I'm too scared of conversions, sky-high prices for damaged items due to high demand and low supply and simply the unattainability of a "great Neo Geo collection" because the Neo collector's time seems to be over for good. :/
59,630 > 57,300
When I was working back in a well known second hand video game shop in central london back in 1994, we had Neo Geo cartridges listed as Neo Geo AES cartridges to show them as different to MVS cartridges which until they stopped selling AES cartridges a few years back they still called them Neo Geo AES cartridges. Also in a lot of places that sold MVS and Home Cartridges they did use the term AES...
Hello Ave, beautiful questions.
Deutschland huh? Are you German? (I'm Greek/German)
Ich bin halb Deutsch (Deutsch/Griechisch).
Und ich glaube nicht sprechen oder lesen zu viel Deutsch wie ich sollte. Ich wuchs in den Vereinigten Staaten, und ich spreche fließend Englisch und Griechisch, sondern nur eine kleine Menge des Deutschen.
Sie fragte eine große Frage.
Sammeln für die NeoGeo kann sehr lustig sein, aber es dauert ein wenig Geduld und viel Mühe. Aber wenn Sie dabei bleiben, wird es sehr lohnend.
Territorial Knowledge
It may be common knowledge to you and some people, but not everyone. The same can be said when people ask me about KoF2000, Zupapa, or Genre Corrected inserts. What is normally common knowledge, seems to always come up again and again to someone new, so I don't mind repeating myself. It comes with the territory.
Great, great question.
Believe it or not, the neogeo aes collectors are very far from elitists. They are usually very nice people, but they are quiet and stay way out of the loop, and never speak of the rare items/games they have.
Elitists? Not who'd you think.
The "elitists" are the people that don't have the full collection (or the money). They want to act important so they cut people down at every opportunity.
Take ng.com for example..... many people here joined that site and made a simple post or asked a simple question, only to be shot down, flamed, and yelled at. That negative attitude has turned many people away from wanting to start with the neo, and has also kept many people quiet in terms of speaking out on what rare items/games they actually own.
3 people from ng.com attacked me on this site DEMANDING that I show proof of just about everything I said, be it an unreleased games or showing court papers. I didn't have to show photos of my games, but I did (after time) just out of wanting to share information and my photos with everyone. But sometimes you really do have to bite your tongue. lol.
MVS with box/insert = wannabe/poor man's aes
Most the people at ng.com don't have anywhere near a complete collection, and most of them are "mvs with home made arts to look like aes" collectors. So their attitude is reflective against people that can afford and really own the aes cartridges, or even against people that can't afford aes carts, but what to go for it anyway. (Spend your money anyway you want. lol)
I feel mvs carts should be cart only or with the original mvs box.
(not these people trying to have the aes look with mvs fitting box and fancy insert)(that's so silly)
Starting an AES collection in 2011
As for someone thinking about starting/wanting to build an aes collection in today's market, that is up to the individual and I really can't get involved with someone's passion. As with any hobby, do it if it makes you happy. There is roughly 150 aes cartrisges and building a complete collection is fairly easy with such low number of titles. It's very achievable. Most titles can be found for about $50. A lot more for under $100. Sure, some can go from $150-$300, and of course, certain games are $500+.
Don't be worried or put off by conversions either. Many of the titles needed to complete the aes collection are from mvs only releases that need to be converted to aes format. And there's nothing wrong with that. They are still 100% authentic snk boards, chips, etc... Just find the particular artwork you prefer and go for it. Many people offer conversions these days.
I had fun
If you do it right, building a complete aes collection will be thrilling and not too overwhelming. You'll also meet some interesting people. It can be a fun and wild ride, and for me it was totally worth it. I also made some great friends and acquaintances along the way.

Ave: there's shitloads of sealed neo geo games on ebay (most coming from the telegames sold out two or three years ago. another batch coming from an old stock discovered in Dubai. don't ask me how tons of neo geo games arrived in Dubai lol)
I think you can manage to get at least half of the full set for cheap.
Neo-Geo Collecting
I love collecting for this system for the past 20+ years, but it's certainly not the type of system you'll want to try and collect every release for.
If you only want to experience the games, emulate... If you want to play on actual hardware, but don't care about artwork, MVS... If you want to play on real hardware and own the original artwork, manual, AES. If you want to wait long periods of time for your game to load, but in some cases have improved audio, NGCD. The Neo-Geo is certainly full of options! :)
AES ~ A d v a c e d E n t e r t a i n m e n t S y s t e m
I didn't didn't give this much thought to be honest. Since growing up with the Nintendo Entertainment System in '85 I had always called that the NES (EN-E-ESS) So in 1990 it made sense to refer to the Neo-Geo as the AES (AYE-E-ESS), and again in '91 with the SNES (ESS-ENY-ESS).
Though in '93 I referred to the Jaguar as a "POS" :P
So I see AES on the mobo.
I'm curious, does the arcade MVS board say MVS on it?
Also, Dion do you have any of this stuff?
Those 24x36 Neo-Geo posters are great! I don't know why I didn't order those back in the day. Instead I bought 2 of the Bigger, Badder, Better shirts and cut one up to use as a dust cover for my system.

in spite of the screwy thread this has been a VERY interesting read, as someone whos never been really into the neogeo scene ive always wondered what this whole story was about (youre absoluteley right about your fame/infamy there), and im finally starting to get the picture.
im not playing sides or anything but id like to say i appreciate you stepping forward and telling your side of this story, out of curiosity tho, what caused you to surface after all these years?
ed: wish you would have come forward like this a few years earlier, would have loved to taken you up on that verification stuff back when i visited vegas. :)

Thanks sven. I appreciate seeing/hearing from neo fans and I've always been upfront and open about everything. Just ask anyone who's been to the CGE shows or anyone who's met Chris or myself in person.
The REAL Story.
At that other site, everything was edited to only show the owners/mods point of view. If anyone posted something positive about Chris, myself, or NGF, it was phantom deleted. ng.com would also delete entire threads as well.
I haven't posted at ng.com since early 2000, and that was only cause the owner begged me to post at his site as part of the stock purchase he did. So I humored him and made some posts. (about a handful of posts)
Fake Dion account at ng.com
Also, the moderators/owner would log in under my user name "Dion" and make new threads and talk a lot of garbage. They attempted to copy my writing style, but it was clearly not me. My password and email were reset, so I wasn't able to delete the posts. At first I emailed the owner about it to point it out, but it was to no avail. The fact that he didn't reply or do anything to remove the posts and reinstate my correct email address so I could reset me password, proved it was him/them. Those fake threads are still there too. In a special archived section. Such childish actions from such childish people.
It so bad at ng.com, and they are so one sided, that they have also banned the words "NeoGeoFreak" and "NGF" from being mentioned/typed. Try it. Try posting something about NeoGeoFreak or NGF and you'll see it will be edited or deleted.
Talk about a complete dictatorship over there.
Easy to find
Sure I've been busy with other ventures and such, but I've always been online and answering my emails, and I created a facebook account 2-3 years ago, and I've always been easy to find.
It may seem as though I was completely gone from the neo scene, only because I wasn't posting anywhere. In all fairness, at the time there was no place for me to post and I really didn't have too much to say.
I found out about this site from a recent sale. The customer mentioned this site and I liked what I saw, so I joined up. I love the freedom and the rules at this site. No flaming, arguing, swearing, etc... It's all very mature.
I spend a lot of time lurking in the "general development" forum, and in some of the other subforums, Panasonic 3do/m2 stuff, nintendo, etc...
I'm here
NGF was at the CGE shows in 2001, 2002, 2003, and I pass through them when they are in vegas. I'll be at this years CGE as well. Try to come to vegas, or drop me an email anytime you're coming. We can have some drinks and have some discussions.

"You have enemies?
Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." - - Winston Churchill
I've really enjoyed this thread. Dion, thanks for coming to the party---I've seen Chris Ray pop up on N-g.com several times, but I wondered why you never did. I suppose the answer as to why is obvious.
Just because I don't think anyone ever made it too clear---I want to specifically note that the preliminary injunction against NGF that keeps getting tossed around is absolutely meaningless. Preliminary injunctions are designed to maintain the status quo before/during a case, so no further damage is done before a final resolution is reached.
Also, for what its worth, it seems reasonably clear from the final injunction and press release that the games released by Neo Geo Freak and referenced in the press release are all legit. I understand why people get upset about them ("THEY WEREN'T DONE BY SNK"), but well, I take the position, that something is official if SNK says its official. You could destroy all of the SNK inserts you want---and as long as SNK says its official and the way to go, its fine with me.
Also, Dion, do you have any NGF stamps left? Like them or not, I think few people would deny that they'd be a pretty cool Neo collectible.
Edit: Neo Credentials: Neo Player since MVS hit the arcades---WH2 is my all time favorite fighter. Couldn't afford as I was far too young back then. AES owner now, but I like arcade stuff better so I mostly collect for MVS--slowly working my way up towards owning all games.

Death to Bill and Ted!
Thank you for the kind words Blur.
I'm glad you enjoyed the reading and all the NGF History.
What we as NGF did was really something back then, and even now. And the best part of it was that we had a great deal of fun and and we met many interesting people.
(and if you read my earlier reply you'll see why I never posted at ng.com)
The thing is, is that NO ONE is allowed to sell any items that infringe against the copyright owner claim. NO ONE. It's against the law in every field of business.
Legal Records Forever
Now playmore has made it perfectly clear to the public, that NeoGeoFreak/NGF-USA is 100% OFFICIAL and we have FULL AUTHORIZATION to repackage all AES games with our corrected inserts, and we always have. This is verified by the press release and by our settlement with playmore in US District Court. And this is part of public record and can never be argued or taken away.
NGF Stamp and Distributor Stickers - For sale????
I think you may be speaking of the NGF Distributor sticker (warranty/void).
We only had two stamps (Denver/Vegas). For a serious collector, I would sell a strip of stickers for only $20. Now if the price was right I would sell the NGF Stamp. But only to the very, very serious collector. The NGF Stamp would be classified as a Super Freak item. Only two exist.
World Heroes!!!
You're a man after my own heart.
So many people look past the World Heroes series. My favorite with friends is WH2. I love WH2Jet for so many nostalgic reasons. But my favorite for gameplay and super moves, and overall is World Heroes Perfect.
"You have enemies?
Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life." - - Winston Churchill
so you think a conversion...is more collectible than a MVS with Shockbox...right.
O_o to each their own.
NG.com making things up again? Very Pathetic
I've seen the thread about me at ng.com and somehow they came up with the idea that I said conversions or worth more than the original carts. Where have I ever said that?
As an example, I would NEVER say a converted Metal Slug is worth $1000, or more than the original aes version. To me, a converted Metal Slug is worth the sum of the parts, plus labor. Maybe around $100-$120. An original aes cart will always be more valuable than a converted cart. So let get that clear and understood.
People are still reading with blinders on.
Some people that are lurking here and then running to ng.com are not really comprehending the things I've been saying. They just skim through these questions and answers and make up twisted stories. The sad thing is the people instigating all these untruths are the same people that are sending me private messages and emails buying items from me. And that's how members at ng.com have always been.
NeoGeoFreak/NGF-USA Distribution: Out of the NeoGeo Business
NGF has no monetary interset in the neogeo sales anymore. Both Chris and myself are now just fans enjoying ourselves. We are making a few sales on remaining items and collectibles, but we are no longer doing business as NGF on a mass scale. Everything we're doing now is just private "fan to fan" sales/trades (like anyone else would be doing). So please don't ask us to make a mass release of proto/unreleased games.
ASSEMbler discussions
If they(ng.com members) or anyone has something to say or questions to ask, feel free to ask me about it here. The ASSEMbler mods won't phantom delete questions that are asked intelligently and honestly, and without flames and innuendos. Take away the emotion and ask a well thought out question or make a response. I joined this site to be able to share information with anyone that is truly interested. Join in and see how beneficial open discussions can truly be.

The people there make things up about you because in the past you did alot of questionable or downright wrong things. Im not about to begin shit slinging but there are multiple stories and or evidence of you fucking people over.
Your name is well and truly dragged through the mud and until one day you hold you hands up and say 'Yes, I fucked up' It will stay that way. Your ego is too huge and ultimately has affected not only your reputation but your business too. You could've sold inserts seperately at $15-20 and the anal NG fans who cared enough about the stripes would have paid that much and you would have been laughing all the way to the bank. Everybody knows games are almost always worth more original.

Blueberry waste lawsuit (January 31, 2013) |
Graceland Fruit Inc. generated the wastes at its processing facility in Frankfort, and Graceland hired Bonney Brothers Pumping Co. to transport and dispose of the juice.
The companies reached a $250,000 settlement with Michigan in 2008.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle says local property owners filed suit in December, saying the waste liquid polluted their wells and the creek. Resident Bradley Chicky says at times, the creek has a bad smell and orange slime.
The company says it's responding to the complaints and has bought bottled water for some residents.

Install remote cd player in 96 silverado
Hey everybody,
My first post here. I am trying to help out one of my friends by installing a slave/remote cdplayer to his factory radio/cassette player. I just wanted to get confirmation on the parts i need to do this before I buy them.
From what I understand, I need:
- a stock radio/cassette player with an AUX button (already in truck)
- a remote/slave cd player
- and this wire: AUX cable
I already understand how to take the dash out. Just wanted to double check that this is all i need. Thanks in advance

This isn't the exact truck I am trying to install it on. But this is what I'm trying to achieve. The truck currently has the OEM radio and cassette and no CD player. I just want to add the remote CD player to it. There is an AUX button on the cassette player and the slot for the remote CD player to be installed. Just want to know if this cable (AUX cable) is all I need to connect the two properly. Thanks

As you begin your investigation, you'll discover that a Russian presidential candidate has been assassinated and the CIA has received a tip that the life of the US president could be in serious jeopardy.
Spycraft: The Great Game is one of the first interactive entertainment titles to blend 35mm film, digital video footage, still photographs and actual stock footage from the CIA with intricate 3-D puzzles based on real-life covert tactics and operations.

Granted, there are areas where you're shooting and areas where you're choosing between response 1, 2, and 3 in a dialog... but encompassing that is a compelling story that truly makes you feel like a CIA field agent hunting down an assassin, and facing deadlyread more challenges every step of the way.
I imagine that the game's FMV may look someone dated by now, but that would be a foolish reason to miss out on such a rich experience. Remember that William Colby and Oleg Kalugin contributed to this game; I think they really helped make a spy thriller out of this game. There are definitely finite story branches to take; however, you should have several playthroughs with new discoveries available, and the consequences of your actions will certainly be shocking...
I cannot recommend this game highly enough! I'm absolutely ecstatic to see it come to GOG. If you're into adventures, spy thrillers/espionage, mystery/investigation, etc. then I doubt you'll be disappointed with Spycraft: The Great Game.

Paying for real ex-Intelligence brass to appear in-game, relying on videos to deliver the story when FMV games were often panned .. both are gutsy moves and it worked great.
The game is all about realistic espionage themes and tasks. It is memorable because it included the less glamorous side of spying.
You will use a beige PC, sit in a cubicle and examine clues. After the funread more detective work is done, you report to fellow agents and bosses via pre-prepared emails (just pick the right answers to complete the email). They send you 3G cellphone video replies/messages (back in 1996 woohoo).
You will also pick replies in lots of conversations.
You get to use interesting softwares (highly simplified for ease of use):
** 'photoshop' pictures and make it believable, this is tricky business
** investigate an assassination: how did they do it ?
** examine security cameras
** Search a database of suspects for the culprit you're looking for, using a facial sketch software.
Negatives of this game:
* not the DVD version with better videos
* some tasks like doctoring a picture are hard to get right, but they're far and few.
I finished this game back in late 90s, with a pictorial strat guide from Computer Player :P

This was one of the first PC games I played and it was very fun. The game had it's own internet type search engine for clues and details about the assassins. The game was clunky though and nearly impossible if you didn't have a guide (looking at you face puzzle). Still it's a fun game with a great story, clunky as it may be it's worth a look.

CdTe has a proven performance advantage over conventional solar modules. Due to a superior temperature coefficient, CdTe responds to sunlight differently than typical crystalline silicon technologies and has less temperature-related losses. As a result, First Solar PV plants produce more energy than competing solar systems with the same power rating.
CdTe enables high-volume, low-cost production of solar modules. First Solar transforms a sheet of glass into a complete solar panel in less than 2.5 hours in a continuous, automated process that requires less energy and water and utilizes 98% less semiconductor materials, compared to conventional crystalline silicon production. As a result, First Solar is the largest manufacturer of thin film solar modules and continues to drive innovation in cost leadership, scale and efficiency.
CdTe systems have the smallest carbon footprint of any PV technology. They also have the fastest energy payback time. In less than a year, CdTe PV power plants produce more energy than was required to create them. In addition, First Solar combines cadmium, a waste byproduct of mining operations, with tellurium to create the stable compound of CdTe, which is used to manufacture our industry-leading thin film solar modules. First Solar's state-of-the-art recycling process can recover up to 95% of the semiconductor materials for reuse in new solar modules, enabling solar to deliver on its promise as a clean and sustainable renewable energy.
First Solar is focused on providing value-driven energy solutions that protect and enhance the environment.
Read more about First Solar's performance advantage in hot climates in a white paper published in Photovoltaics International.

Jason O'Mara Movies
An Irish actor, born and raised in Dublin,
Jason O'Mara
turned out more prolific television appearances (in guest spots and supporting turns) than almost any of his contemporaries. Among other assignments, he landed roles on
Band of Brothers
Criminal Minds
Men in Trees
, and
Grey's Anatomy
, then rose to broader acclaim as one of the leads, ex-cop turned legal assist Charles Conti, on the popular law drama series
In Justice
(2006). In 2007,
tackled a supporting role opposite
Milla Jovovich
in the gruesome video game adaptation
Resident Evil: Extinction
. But it was on the small screen that O'Mara really seemed to shine, and after traveling back to the 1970s as the lead in the shortlived police detective series Life on Mars, the increasingly prolific actor ventured even further back in time -- 85 million years to be exact -- with his family to start a prehistoric human civilization in the FOX series Terra Nova. That show, too, was cancelled before it had the chance to gain a loyal following, though O'Mara quickly bounced back with a featured role in the 2012 Katherine Heigl romantic action comedy One for the Money, which found the actor cast as a fugitive cop being pursued by his gorgeous ex -- now a tenacious bounty hunter.
He is not to be confused with the Philadelphia-based jazz musician with the same name. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

A 21st Century New York City detective finds himself experiencing a surreal blast from the past when he's struck by a speeding car and transported back to 1973 in this ABC series inspired by the popular British television series of the same name. 2008: Detective Sam Tyler (Jason O'Mara) is in hot pursuit of a dangerous criminal when he's suddenly run down right in the middle of the street. Subsequently awakening in the same city circa 1973, Detective Tyler is forced to police the streets of a city locked in the cold grip of chaos. The Vietnam War is raging halfway around the world, the Watergate scandal is making headlines across the country, criminals are running the streets, and more than half of the police force is on the take. To make matters even worse, cell phones haven't been invented yet, desktop typewriters have yet to be replaced by the personal computer, and no one has ever heard of such a thing as an MP3 player. Devoid of his high-tech crime fighting equipment and forced to operate under a shady new moral code, Detective Tyler constantly clashes with his new boss at the 125th Precinct. Lieutenant Gene Hunt (Harvey Keitel) is the kind of cop that values brawn over brains, and the other members of the 1-2-5 are just as tough. Detective Ray Carling (Michael Imperioli) may ask few questions, but he's definitely the right guy to have in your corner when the going gets tough. And despite the fact that the women of the police force are still woefully underused, Police Women's Bureau member Annie Norris (Gretchen Mol) is often the smartest person in the room. Annie dreams of the day she'll become a real cop, but the prevailing sexism of the era is preventing that from happening for the time being. Even so, she's the only person that Detective Tyler can turn to as he attempts to regain his bearings and find a way back home. Meanwhile, fresh-faced rookie Detective Chris Skelton (Jonathan Murphy) may clash constantly with Lieutenant Hunt and Detective Carling, yet he proves a valuable ally for Detective Tyler. If Detective Tyler could only find a way back to 2008, he could tell his true love Maya Daniels (Lisa Bonet) about how Annie's workplace battles back in 1973 opened the doors that would allow Maya to become an official member of the force nearly four decades later. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

In Justice [TV Series]
Debuting January 1, 2006 on ABC, the hour-long crime drama In Justice was clearly inspired by recent instances wherein a number of innocent people sentence to death or life imprisonment had been freed with the help of concerned legal advocacy groups and new DNA evidence. Starring in this series was Kyle MacLachlan as David Swayne, a $650-dollar-per-hour corporate attorney who turned his back on his lucrative practice to create the National Justice Project, funded with $5 million of his own money. Swayne's mission in life was to re-examine old jury verdicts and reopen closed cases in order to give those whom he felt to be wrongly imprisoned a chance for freedom. Swayne and his team of investigators uncovered fresh evidence, persuaded the authorities to re-examine their original conclusions, and in some case actually tracked down the actual perpetrators of the crime at hand. Heading Swayne's team was former cop Charles Conti (Jason O'Mara), who was willing to tolerate the lawyer's many idiosyncracies in the case of justice. Conti's associate investigators included Sonya Quintano (Marisol Nichols), whose own brother had been sprung from prison as a result of the National Justice Project; Jon Lemonick (Daniel Cosgrove, the firm's resident know-it-all; and Brianna (Constance Zimmer), the youngest member of the group. In Justice was created by Michelle King and Robert King. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Whether you're hosting a cocktail party or a casual backyard soiree, serving memorable party food is essential to a successful get-together. Here are a few simple recipes to get you started:
Hor d'Oeuvres Recipes
- Antipasto – Rachel Ray suggests laying out a mixed antipasto platter with Italian meats, cheeses, olives, mixed nuts, marinated veggies, and bread or celery. This only takes seconds to prepare, and guests can create their own unique combinations.
- Goat cheese stuffed peppers – This little snacks are easy to make and bursting with flavor. Fill piquillo peppers (you can find them in the jar) with goat cheese, scallions, fresh mint, lemon zest and juice, and red-pepper flakes.
Drink Recipes
If you will be serving alcohol, it is good practice to also serve a delicious non-alcoholic drink as well. And don't underestimate the value of keeping fresh water available to your guests. A frosty water pitcher with lemon, orange, strawberries, and mint leaves is a beautiful addition to any table.
- Champagne Cocktail – For a sweet, fizzy treat, serve champagne with Angostura bitters, a sugar cube, and a lemon or orange twist for garnish.
- Limeade and Lemonade (non-alcoholic) – For a late afternoon summer shindig, a fresh squeezed limeade or lemonade is just the thing. Cut with seltzer water for extra refreshment. Heat 1 ½ cups of fresh-squeezed lime or lemon juice with 1 cup of sugar until sugar is dissolved, then stir with 5 cups water and refrigerate.
Dinner Recipes
For some parties, it is a good idea to serve heartier food in addition to hor d'oeuvres. The last thing you want is for people to be running off for dinner instead of staying to enjoy the party. Choose foods that are satisfying but still easy to eat.
- Finger Sandwiches – Take a cue from tea party food and serve cucumber sandwiches. Combine 8 ounces of softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup mayonnaise, a chopped cucumber, garlic salt and chopped dill. Spread the mixture on white bread and top with wheat bread, then cut off the crusts and cut into quarters.
Now that you have the meal planning taken care of, you can relax and enjoy your guests. Now all you need is a perfect summer night!

Kessler starts with Apple blocking the Google voice ap, and runs through the way spectrum auctions re-enforce industry structure and lock in a tight oligopoly that damps innovation and allows those companies that actually have a pipe to charge ridiculous prices for services such as text. He notes that because mobile services are critical to our economic growth that this holds back economic development, and observes that it massively overcharges consumers.

Hello all! I haven't been on here in a while. I picked up a few new hobbies in the interval.
At any rate, I recently completed a cross-country move, during which my Dual CS-505 was completely totaled.
I'm looking to get a "new" used turntable, hopefully something of an upgrade from the Dual.
Only problem is, I'm on a budget of maybe $200 (less would be better).
The good news is that summer is coming up, and I'll have plenty of time (although still not much money).
With this in mind, I'd like to acquire something vintage (70s or 80s) which is in need of refurbishment. Preferably nothing too complicated -- I'm fine replacing belts or wiring, and refurbishing/rebuilding motors. I have a fair bit of mechanical and electrical aptitude.
I'm hoping that I can find something decent within my budget so long as I focus on stuff which is currently "broken" or in need of service.
So, anybody have any advice for where I should start looking? What models might be a good bet to start looking for? I really don't know squat about specific vintage turntable brands and models, aside from my late Dual.

Do it right.
I'm often asked if there's one most important piece of advice I might offer to those embarking on a website project or digital marketing strategy.
The specifics will vary greatly. For one company, the emphasis might be solely on creating an ultra-unique look and feel that will portray the company as bleeding-edge. For another, the technological underpinnings and Content Management System (CMS) might be what's most important. For many, it's all about results. That might mean lead-generation, sales, recruiting, attracting press, analysts or investors.
Regardless of the objectives, the bottom line is … your online presence is too important to risk doing wrong. And as capable as I'm sure you and your internal team are, your selection of the right partner is critical to your success.
So why eMagine, you ask?
- Well-rounded staff of 35+, including designers, developers, project managers, digital marketing strategists and support and maintenance specialists
- Unmatched experience in B2B, High-Tech, Healthcare, Energy, Professional Services and Manufacturing
- Research-driven approach
- 15+ years experience with 1,000+ clients
- Clients from Boston to New York, DC, Miami, Austin, Raleigh, Silicon Valley and Canada
- Proven project management track record, launching hundreds of successful projects
- Real people, pragmatic solutions. No snake oil or "secret formulas"
This final bullet point above is key. Unlike a lot of agencies, you'll hear very little philosophizing or pontificating from the eMagine team. What you'll get is a group of passionate, talented, genuine people with a tremendous amount of experience, working with you … as an extension of your company.
We're often complimented for our candor, … our willingness to tell a prospective client when we're not a good fit for them. It's not uncommon for us to come across a company whose intention is to throw together a website in a few weeks and/or for the lowest price. Or a company who's gathering proposals and barely spending any time getting to know the people who would be involved in this most important partnership.
My promise …
If your company is looking to do it right, and you believe that that's accomplished with the most experienced, proven partner, then you just might want to speak to us. I personally assure you that you'll be treated like our most important client and that you'll be working with the smartest, most talented, driven team in the industry.
And lastly, I promise you that I'll personally stand behind our commitment to your success and that you'll have unimpeded direct access to me personally 24/7/365.

Apple sued over deal locking iPhone to AT&T network
A pair of iPhone owners are suing Apple to get their handsets unlocked.
Zach Ward and Thomas Buchar filed a putative class action lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Northern California on Friday alleging that the tech giant violated antitrust laws by locking iPhone buyers into voice and data contracts with AT&T Mobility. The plaintiffs claim that Apple violated the Sherman Act's prohibition on monopolization by not obtaining consumers' contractual consent to have their iPhones locked when the tech giant entered into a five-year exclusivity agreement with the wireless carrier in 2007.

By MONICA ADORNO
It's little wonder that gorgeous Cape Town is South Africa's most visited metropolis. The Mother City, as she is affectionately known, occupies a seriously stunning landscape filled with some of the best-known national parks and game reserves in the world, not to mention the iconic Table Mountain. So you can imagine my joy at being invited on a family holiday, the kind that your parents take you on when you're still a kid, the free kind, to visit a family friend who moved out there. "Absolutely!!", I yelled down the phone. "Count Me In."
From the moment we stepped off the plane, buzzing with excitement, the country embraced us. Everyone, from the airline staff to the taxi driver who dropped us off at our charming little guesthouse, was so friendly. After checking in we sat down to enjoy a glass of chilled South African wine on our terrace and admired the superb view of the bay.
From our guesthouse, situated in the luxurious residential area of Fresnaye, we took a stroll towards the famous V&A Waterfront which we later discovered started off as a small jetty built in 1654 by Jan van Riebeeck. It was set up to establish a refreshment station at the foot of Africa for the Dutch East India Company. Dutch ships sailing to Eastern Africa, India, and the Far East would stop over to re-energise while on their quest for treasure. We enjoyed a delicious dinner of rustic al fresco fish and chips followed by a spectacular sunset. Over the next few days we returned to the V&A Waterfront to sample some of the other fare on offer at these fantastic Cape Town restaurants (there are over 80 restaurants in the one complex).
The next day, on the recommendation of the lovely owner of our guesthouse, we drove to Chapman's Peak Drive. You can also walk or cycle the route but if you enjoy driving then do that as it's less sweaty and a lot more thrilling! For 10 km, the road carves into the mountainside on one side, while on the other side it drops hundreds of metres to the ocean. It was slightly terrifying but the route is said to be one of the most stunning stretches of coastal road in the world, so it's worth the panic. We pulled up in one of the numerous parking bays and ate a picnic on a slope while admiring the view and taking photos of Hout Bay.
Next on the agenda was kloofing on Table Mountain. Kloofing means canyoning in South Africa and it combines climbing, hiking, swimming, and jumping. Seeing everyone preparing to jump from 15 metres high was possibly more hilarious than the actual activity – a definite trip highlight, everyone should kloof. We booked with Abseil Africa. Make sure you book with a responsible tour operator.
We also left ourselves plenty of time to explore some of the shopping on offer. I picked up some intricately carved wooden animals at Kalk Bay Gallery and Dad picked up some bottles at Caroline's Fine Wines on 15 Long St for all the family to enjoy back home in the UK.

Stillman hosted the second annual Pam Phillips Volleyball Challenge Camps. Eight teams competed in the high school division, which ran Monday & Tuesday, July 19th & 20th. Participating high school teams included: Brookwood, Bryant, Central-Tuscaloosa, Hillcrest, Northridge, Tuscaloosa Christian, Tuscaloosa County, & Southern Academy. There was pool play on Monday, with twelve matches played from 8:00 AM until 5:30 PM. At the conclusion of Monday's pool play, teams were seeded (according to their won/loss records in pool play). The teams then battled for the title on Tuesday. After six tough matches, the 2010 Pam Phillips Challenge Camp Championship was claimed by the Northridge Jaguars. Coach Sherri Shuttlesworth and her Jags defeated a talented Hillcrest Patriot squad, coached by Camillia Redmond, to win the title by scores of 25-21 and 25-22.
The camp's middle school division was held on Wednesday & Thursday, July 21st and 22nd. Participating middle school teams included: Eastwood, Hillcrest, Northside, Tuscaloosa Christian, TMS, and Southern Academy. Twelve matches were played in a round-robin format on Wednesday & Thursday. After the conclusion of round-robin play, the top two teams (as determined by their W/L records over the two days) met in a best of three championship match. The championship match saw Coach Karen Wedgworth's undefeated Southern Academy squad (at 10-0) square off against Coach Jennifer Thrasher's Tuscaloosa Christian team (at 8-2). Southern fought from an 8-16 deficit to win a grueling first set by the score of 25-23. Tuscaloosa Christian rallied back to win set two 25-20 to force a deciding third set, which Southern won 15-13 to claim the 2010 Pam Phillips VB Challenge Camp Championship (Middle School Division).
Coach Phillips said, "I started these Challenge Camps last July in order to provide an opportunity for volleyball teams in our area to compete against one another to gain valuable court experience prior to the start of their school seasons in August." The camp has grown considerably. Last July, only five middle schools competed. The high school division didn't have enough teams to play. This year, eight high school teams and six middle school teams signed up.
Phillips continued, "This experience is an awesome one for all involved. The kids get an opportunity to compete on the home court of our NCAA Division II Stillman Lady Tigers volleyball team. That is really exciting to both the middle school players and the high school players." Phillips went on to explain that the players get valuable court time with their teammates. They strengthen their individual and team skills. They refresh their knowledge of the rules of play. Phillips stated, "The coaches get to see their teams in action prior to the start of their competitive seasons. This aids them in developing their team goals and determining the strengths and weaknesses of their squads. From such knowledge gained, they can plan their upcoming practice sessions to address such."
When Phillips was asked how she thought the camp was received by the community she said, "I received many positive comments from coaches, athletes, parents of players, booster presidents, etc. They were all grateful for the opportunity and look forward to returning in the future. I have always in the past and will continue in the future to do all I can to promote the positive growth of young student-athletes."

General News > County Durham Open Art Competition: Exhibition Attracts Chinese Artists
Durham County Council's (DCC) annual Open Art Exhibition, which this year is being staged in The Bowes Museum, Barnard Castle, has attracted two artists from China.
This is the fifth year that DCC has staged the open art exhibition, which over the years has grown from strength to strength. The exhibition is now an established annual event that the council has provided to give local artists a platform and opportunity to showcase their work.
This year Annie Liu and Jiangiang Bai are exhibiting their work alongside local artists. They learned of the exhibition as Annie currently lives in Durham and is studying for an MA in graphic design at Northumbria University.
Annie completed a degree in industrial design at the University of Beijing, before leaving China to be with her partner Jie Wang, who is a Physics lecturer at Durham University.
Jiangiang Bai completed his degree in fine art and is now a professional artist and teaches art at Beijing University. He has had many solo exhibitions of his work throughout China but this will be the first time he has exhibited outside of his home country.
David Newell, Arts Coordinator for the council said, "The Open Art Exhibition has been a huge success across County Durham and the wider region. This is mainly due to the support of local artists and the wealth of creativity within our region. The quality and standard of work has improved year on year and we are delighted to be exhibiting in The Bowes Museum this year".
Vivien Vallack, Head of Exhibitions at the Museum, said "We're so pleased to be hosting the 2013 Open Art Exhibition and look forward to displaying what I'm sure will be a colourful, vibrant and varied selection of works, on all kinds of subjects. There is such a lot of artistic talent in County Durham it will be a pleasure to showcase it to our visitors".
The exhibition runs from 2nd March – 7th April. For further information visit www.thebowesmuseum.org.uk

Reviews by jwff:jwffAlaska 4.28/5 rDev +2.1% look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4 2007 Vintage. Pours a crystal brown that teeters between red and orange. Soft white head that lingers and plenty of carbonation. Faint earthy hops in the smell blended with caramel, almonds, toasty grain, and sweet dough. Taste has a bit more going for it. Caramel has a greater presence along with a huge helping of fresh honey. The hops are much more noticeable as there is a lingering earthy bitterness in the finish. Some alcohol warmth is noted but the bitterness from the hops makes for a nice dry finish. Incredibly smooth and easy to go. Very balanced for such a high alcohol beer. I think I would prefer it fresh as the low alpha hops are really showing right now and I'd hate to see this beer lose that character. Oh yeah I get green apples too. Serving type: bottle 02-24-2008 04:49:45 | More by jwff More User Reviews:kojevergasTexas 3.43/5 rDev -18.1% look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.25 | overall: 3.25 2010 vintage 1 pint .9 fl oz brown glass bottle with papered-over branded black pressure cap and classy understated label art acquired at me local bottle shop (they just had 2010 vintage lying about in 2013) and served into a Glenmorangie whisky taster in me gaff in low altitude Austin, Texas. Bottle No 122366. 8.5% ABV confirmed. Brewed with Golding and Fuggle hops. Dry-hopped with Golding and Target hops. "Best before end 2013." Perfect! I believe Fuller's maintains that this peaks at 3 years as well. Served chilled, but not cold, and allowed to warm over the course of consumption. Side-poured carefully per the label's instructions. Good carbonation hiss as it's opened. A: No bubble show forms as it's poured. Pours a half finger wide head of white/light khaki colour. Decent creaminess and thickness. Nice complexion. Head retention isn't bad considering the beer's age and high ABV - about 2 minutes. Some inconsistent spotty lacing clings to the sides of the glass when the glass is tilted, but little forms naturally as the head recedes. Body colour is a clear translucent orange-copper of superb vibrance. No yeast particles/sediment are visible. It's a nice appearance for an old ale and I'm looking forward to trying it. Nothing about the appearance reveals its age or suggests it's gone downhill. Not unique or special, but certainly attractive. Sm: Has a light toasted malt character accompanied by some toffee as well as bursts of fruity esters: orange, pineapple, mango, and other tropical fruits which are too vague to identify. I'm surprised at the notable hop presence - both because of the style and because of the beer's age. Ripe orchard peach surfaces as it warms a bit. Honey. Very attractive sweet nectary notes. It's got a good malty sweetness and plenty of juicy fruits. I also pick up some white raisin and mellow berries. It's quite clean; no yeast character is detectable. Alcohol is well concealed. Overall, I'm really looking forward to trying this. The fruit notes are a definite highlight. It's also just a bit acidic, which accentuates the fruit. An inviting aroma of average strength. T: It's got a marshmallow, toffee, light caramel, and vaguely toasty core with gorgeous balance. The fruity juiciness really comes in just before the climax, adding nuanced notes of peach, sticky pineapple, mango, and even a hint of passionfruit. White raisin. The hops have matured nicely with age, complementing the malts with unobtrusive fruity and faintly floral notes. The marshmallow is lovely, and was unexpected. I pick up some depleted orange jam notes and green apple as it warms. Some sherry too. Also a bit of butterscotch. There's plenty of rich English malt character here which is lovely. Refined and tasty, but perhaps not as approachable as other old ales. I like that it really commits to its distinguished English character, but that comes at the expense of accessibility and perhaps even balance. I can see where oxidation will actually complement this flavour profile rather than damage it. It's an extremely cohesive build for an old ale, but not quite a gestalt one. Balanced and refined. There's plenty of complexity here, and even some intriguing nuance. But it could be far more intricate and subtle. Age has done it well and I'd be curious to try this fresh. Above average depth of flavour. Average intensity and duration of flavour. The marshmallow is the standout note for me. Hides its ABV well. Mf: Decadently smooth and wet. Very rich. It's a rather refined texture which keeps it simple and stays out of the way of the flavour profile. In so doing, it complements the taste well and succeeds at facilitating full delivery of the complex flavours. A bit acidic, which is a nice characteristic in an old ale. Medium-bodied. Aptly thick. A biteen buttery. Has some alcohol-induced warmth, which is light enough that it just seems to complement the beer, and makes it a comforting winter sipper. Not too sticky or chewy. Not oily, astringent, harsh, boozy, gushed, rough, or hot. Dr: It's a refined sipper for the distinguished drinker. It sips real well out of a whisky tumbler. I haven't tried it fresh, but I'd like to, and the marshmallow note alone reveals this beer develops very well with age. I'd really like to try a 1-5 year vertical of this stuff. For now, my recommendation is in concordance with Fuller's - it peaks at 3 years. While it's not for the newcomer, this old ale is a fine example of a good English approach to the style and while I won't be putting any down to cellar meself, it's a beer I'd definitely recommend my friends try at least once. Certainly a classic, but not a world-class offering. I think with time and palate development, I'll come to appreciate this more and more, but constructively it's a bit overhopped and lacks the intricacy of superior beers in the style. I hope to update this review when I've tried other vintages. B- Serving type: bottle 11-27-2013 04:55:02 | More by kojevergas DenisKolkinOntario (Canada) 4.2/5 rDev +0.2% look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25 Picked up a 500ml bottle of 2013 Vintage Ale from the LCBO the other day for $7.25 CDN. Comes in a nice fancy box. Served cool into a pint glass. Appearance - Ruby red color with hues of brown, frothy ivory head with 2 fingers worth of head. Great head retention time and some good lacing. Smell - Mild malt presence immediately hits your nose, then transitions into some more floral. Also mixed in there is a sweet dessert type smell (butterscotch, vague chocolate and caramel aromas). Taste - Quite complex, with a blend of floral hops, desserts from the dessert tray, fruitcake and some chocolate. Even some earthy undertones and a little bit of coffee in the back end and aftertaste. Despite the heavy malt base, the hops come through on every sip in an understated way. Quite tasty. Mouthfeel - Smooth, decadent, medium carbonation with a creamy feel. Yet do to the effects on the palate this also comes across as refreshing. Rather light on its feet for a full flavored high ABV beer. Overall - Excellent beer full of complexity, wish I had some space so that I could age a couple of these for a couple of years to see how they taste then. Highly recommended to try at least once even given the hefty price tag.

A- Enjoyed out of a wine glass. Pours a copper tone fill with a creamy white head that dissipates into nothing. S- Some fruit notes mixed in with rich brandy. T- Very complex. First got a huge hint of cognac followed up with that sweet nectar commonly found in bitters. The aftertaste leaves the slightest of alcohol burns which I found incredibly surprising yet overwhelming satisfying. M- On par with what you'd find in ESB. A very creamy mouthfeel from the bottle conditioning reminds me much of a cask ale. Very low carbonation. O-Tremendous for the category although a bit pricey value wise. Understandably the import adds a few $ to the bottle I'm sure but it's a great representation of the traditional British ale.

Pours a hazy dark copper with a frothy one finger white head. Very good head retention and lacing. The aroma is full of caramel and sweet toffee with loads of figs and plums. Some orange sneaks through along with sherry. Really good depth and there is a lot going on. A huge hit of caramel up front in the taste along with some chocolate. There is a subtle smokiness in the background too. A heavy sherry note along witih plums and figs. Bready malt in there but the dark fruit really dominates. I can also detect some orange. Towards the finish, there is a quick metallic shot followed by a whiff of alcohol. Mouthfeel is fairly thick with a decent sweetness lingering after the finish. Overall, a very deep and complex beer. There is really a lot going on here in the aroma and flavor and it is a wonderful drinking experience. I really with I could try some of the other vintages.

The rates here stand for the 2004 one. No. 18550 of 95000 bottles, had in 2013. Dark fruit complexity (raisin, plum, but also red berries and a more than decent amount of cherry); Coffee, sweet chocolate, to toffee notes; Caramel malts, hints of vanilla, cocoa, also some licorice sweetness; Thwe alcohol is smooth and prickles nicely, bringing also some brandy/bourbon whisky notes; In the finish itțs backed up by a beautiful hoppy bitterness and a mild roast; the sweetness goes down like honey in the finish, the creaminess helps too; cellary, barrelly notes from the aging, with oaky woody notes; This was beautiful: malty and fruity, deliciously sweet, with a nice smooth alcohol, a perfectly melded English ale; Aged beautifully, making it noble and elegant. Also had the 2010 vintage in 2013, but the one above was better. Serving type: bottle 11-02-2013 14:40:48 | More by dcmchew |

When should women start and stop having Pap smears, and how often should Pap smears be performed?The table summarizes the consensus of all the major organizations regarding these important questions. The key points of the table are as follows:
Special situations may impact the frequency of screening. For example, women who have had cervical cancer, exposure to diethylstilbestrol, or a compromised immune system (as with HIV infection, for example) should continue annual screening as long as they are in reasonably good health. Women who have had a hysterectomy for CIN2 or CIN3 (a type of abnormal Pap smear) should be screened until they have had three normal Pap smears, (and if no abnormal Paps show up in 10 years, they can stop having Pap tests).

Robert Boyle's Clockwork Universe
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."

"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
(Needs a summary)
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this series, Mark Mann explores what many of the great Christian theologians and saints of the Church have said about how God speaks in and through God's other great book: Nature, or Creation. Listening to figures from the the 2nd to the 18th centuries,Mann proposes three main points: Christians should think of Scripture and Creation as two "books" that should be read together for understanding the fullness of God's self-revelation; Science is a God-given tool for discerning the handiwork of God in Creation, and is fully compatible with God's Word revealed in Scripture, and therefore, Christians have nothing to fear from science.
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?

The search continues for a down slipper... These slippers are stiff and noisy and they don't stay on when barefoot, are actually not comfortable barefoot and you have to wear socks because the material inside the slipper is not comfortable on the sole of my feet, feels cheap and scratchy. They are going back.
