Graham's Foundation sets up social on World Prematurity DayWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
Sarah Kornmeier's triplets were born 13 weeks early. She was on bed rest a month before giving birth and all three weren't home until one month later.
Kornmeier's doctors made her aware of the high risks during her pregnancy that could end with many possible complications. Kornmeier said she was nervous.
While in the hospital, Kornmeier found a care package from Graham's Foundation.
"We had never heard of Graham's before that," Kornmeier said.
The package provided information about prematurity, but it was a card with a poem by co-founder Nick Hall printed on it that touched Kornmeier the most.
"I carried the card with me. I still have the card," Kornmeier said.
Kornmeier holds the experience close and became involved with Graham's Foundation after getting settled at home with her babies, Drew, Ella and Addison, now three years old.
Three years ago, Kornmeier attended the Parents of Preemies Day event, sponsored by the Graham's Foundation. Since then, her and her husband has been involved in the organization.
"You're in a mix of a whole new world with prematurity," Kornmeier said. "[Something] your whole life, you never expected or wanted to be in. There [are] a lot of aspects about that that you have to suddenly learn how to live with."
Kornmeier said she wanted to be there for other parents after her own experience.
"The events have been so great because you're not just on the phone with someone, you're actually face-to-face with someone and getting to share your stories," Kornmeier said.
Graham's Foundation was founded in 2009 by Nick and Jennifer Hall, parents of Graham, a premature child who died after 45 days. The organization assembles and sends care packages to parents of premature babies. It also offers parent-to-parent support through a resource phone line. All of these features are volunteer-run.
"Prematurity is something that is not widely talked about," Executive Director Erin McPartland said. "So what happens is, parents go into this preemie journey, and they just don't know what to expect."
November is Prematurity Awareness Month and Graham's Foundation will sponsor events all month long. One event includes the Preemie Parent Social on Nov. 17, also sponsored by Help Me Grow, Toledo Children's Hospital and Ronald McDonald House Charities.
During the social, parents of premature babies will be able to share their stories with new parents. One in eight babies is born premature, McPartland said.
"While there have been advances in health care in treatment of the babies, they're only now starting to understand the psychological toll it takes on parents," McPartland said.
The social is 1-3 p.m. on Nov. 17 at The Elizabeth Scott Campus in the Friendship Center, 2720 Albon Road. The event will happen on World Prematurity Day.
"We chose World Prematurity Day to highlight the fact that even as people become more aware of prematurity rates in general, the challenges moms and dads of preemies must face are seldom recognized," Hall said in a news release. "We're proud to be developing a core group of partners right here in Northwest Ohio to support parents facing the challenges of prematurity locally."

Figured this was coming soon - maybe Apple will bump-up the 11" Air base configuration as well. 64GB is just so limited now-a-days...
Apple reportedly readying 128GB "Ultimate" iPad 4 for launch
No sooner was support for 128GB NAND flash storage capacities found in iOS 6 beta 5, than reports pop up saying Apple is readying 128GB "ultimate" versions of the iPad 4 for launch. The news come by way of Mark Gurman of 9to5Mac, who typically has excellent sources on imminent product releases.
We've gotten word from sources that Apple is preparing to release (in some fashion) a single, additional iPad model. This would be a new SKU for the current fourth-generation iPad with Retina display line. At this point, we do not have pricing information, so it is definitely difficult to pinpoint exactly what this new iPad model is.
The code names are listed as P101 Ultimate and P103 Ultimate. Gurman stresses that it's not a new iPad, or iPad 5, or anything like that, simply a new, higher capacity version of the current iPad 4, in both Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular, and in both white and black.
Update: Pricing looks to be $799 for Wi-Fi, $929 for Wi-Fi + cellular.
In early 2008, Apple bumped the original iPhone from 8 to 16GB, so this type of new SKU launch isn't unprecedented. While it lacks the oomph of a completely new model, given that the iPad was refreshed in both March and October of 2012, it does at least give Apple something new on the market, and at 128GB, and presumably at the pricier end of the line-up, at the top of the market.
No word yet on 128GB versions of the iPad mini, or of the iPhone 5 or iPod touch 5.
Anyone compelled enough by big storage to consider a new purchase when/if he hit stores?

Apple reportedly readying 128GB "Ultimate" iPad 4 for launch
Prediction: They will introduce iPad 4 with 128 GB at $799/$929.
iPad 5 will see the elimination of the iPad 2, with the single configuration of iPad 5 all dropping $100 from the iPad 4. So:
I am still happy with my 32 GB WiFi iPad 3. But am thinking around the iPad 6 (or 7 depending on timing) that I will go for 64 GB +Cellular (Since I am now on Verizon's Share Everything plan, having the ability to add it for $10 for a month - only the months when I really need it).
Then again, if they do have a 128 GB WiFi for $699, and the iPhone 6 does simultaneous voice & data on Verizon? I think I'd go storage over LTE and use the iPhone as a mobile hotspot, using the +Cellular price difference for the extra storage.
I will actually go the other way... I have a 64gb iPad 2 right now, and I thought I would use A LOT more of it than I actually do. I bought it to be a coffee table accessory, but with the ability to store plenty of movies if/when I travel. What I've found however, is that I use next to NO space at all (barely passing the 16gb threshold) when I'm at home; and when I'm traveling, I only watch 3 or 4 (of the 15) movies that I put on my iPad.
The upside to all this, based on iSRS's prediction (and I agree with his prediction, given Apple's history), is that I would pay $200 less for a new iPad, than I did for my iPad 2. So it's a win-win for me.
i dont know y Apple doesn't give memory card slot. one of the reason y samsung n android r doin well is b'coz they give 32-64 GB external memory. Samsung n some what sony r now doing well b'coz they know ppl want extra storage space in their tablets n phone. Sooner or later Apple will have to change their strategy regarding this. I feel now Apple will have to do some catch up wid android n samsung or else they r going RIM's way.
More importantly, SD cards negate the need for consumers to pay Apple premium prices for flash memory capacity upgrades. Flash memory capacity is the only thing separating a $499 / $529 iPad from a $699 / $729 (or potential $799 / $929 ) iPad. Every other component is exactly the same. That extra two or three hundred dollars is very close to 100% pure profit for Apple.
If the iPad lines had SD card slots, no one with any sense would ever buy anything but the $499 and $529 models.
Thanks but no thanks, for a grand I can buy a full blown MacBook Pro. What a rip-off. Apple really needs to put an SD memory slot in the iPad but it will never happen.
@ iSRS re: "iPad 5 will see the elimination of the iPad 2, with the single configuration of iPad 5 all dropping $100 from the iPad 4. ..."
Good thinking. Eventually the non-Retina full-sized iPad needs to go away. The more 9.7" Retina screens Apple orders, the better the economy-of-scale, and the sooner Apple can drop pricing across the board. Also, Apple would be able to market the full-sized iPad line as "All Retina."
Anybody know where I can get the wallpaper shown above?

I actually unearthed the ninja aspect to Steve way before his Chinese star incident (and yes it was in poor taste, and even more so now). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRpgPM2zafI
Steve Jobs Ninja action figure now available
A new and improved version of the Steve Jobs action figure, simply called the "Pineapple CEO", is now available. This time around M.I.C did their best to avoid any infringing features -- like the Apple logo stand -- while adding Ninja throwing stars.
If you want to get your hands on a Ninja Steve it will cost you $89.90 (that includes shipping) and you should probably make the purchase as soon as possible considering Apple's lawyers will be all over this in no time.
More images after the break!

Album Review: !!! - Strange Weather, Isn't It? (Warp)
The dry, shiny production styles and musical bent of the '80s has become something of an over forested plot of land over the last year or so. Bands from both sides of the Atlantic proudly flaunt their scratchy copies of Combat Rock and Some Great Reward while claiming their cassette dubs of Rhythm Nation 1814 are there for irony's sake. Their attempts to pull us into a new neon-tinted age have by and large been poor facsimiles of their above-referenced influences. But some bands, like the loose-limbed disco funk collective !!!, take that 30-year-old template, improve upon it, and leave a string of party anthems in their wake. Their latest album finds the octet in that glorious sweet spot between loose and taut, the perfect place for a groove-driven band to be in. What helps is that they are allowing much more space to open up in their songs than ever before. The rubbery pulse of "Steady as the Sidewalks Crack" and the crackling beats that drive "The Most Certain Sure" and "Even Judas Gave Jesus A Kiss" - the busiest songs on the album - are given breathing room thanks to the players sidling in for a quick stab of melody or post-production accent. Vocalists Nic Offer and Shannon Funchess manage to steal the show from their instrumental counterparts throughout the album. Offer shows off his slinkiest melodies (the hook for "Hollow" will stick with you for days) and an assuredly sexy attitude on many of the tracks here. Funchess echoes that attitude while avoiding the role of a disco diva by laying back and providing a cool breeze to temper her vocal partner's humid approach.

On the other hand, sonnen admitted using TRT at abusive levels in the CSAC hearing after his test. He explained he had hypogonadism [according to a family practice doc, without any endocrinology specialty] and had started TUE. He lied and stated that he'd been licensed in Nevada under treatment, and that Kizer himself was down with it. He indicated he gave himself the injections for the treatment, but couldn't remember the dosage...when pressed, he gave an astronomically high amount.
Vitor's abuse is probable, but remains unproven. His "defense" is more plausible than most, for what that's worth. But there are questions as to whether he was abusing or not. You could interpret the data anyway you choose, but either way, you have to understand that it's all conjecture.
sonnen, on the other hand, isn't. He admitted it.

CHARLOTTE - At this weekend's 1A/2A North Carolina High School Athletic Association Swimming State Championships in Cary, eight Buckin' Elks will be competing for medals across five events.
Elkin qualified for three relay events and two individual races at Saturday's 1A/2A West Regional at Mecklenburg Aquatic Club in Charlotte.
The boys will head to the state meet to compete in two events - the 200 yard freestyle and 200 yard medley relays - while the girls will be swimming in the 200 yard freestyle relay. Coley McCulloch (50 yard freestyle) and Tyler Eaton (100 yard butterfly) will compete for an individual title.
At Saturday's regional, the Elkin boys finished fourth and 12th in their two events to qualify for states.
McCulloch, Eaton, Ashton Gant and David Morton swam to a fourth-place finish in the 200 yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:35.97. The team finished 12th in the 200 yard medley relay in a time of 1:53.97, becoming the final team to qualify.
The Lady Elks finished 12th and 13th in their two races, just missing out on qualifying for a second event with the top 12 reaching the state meet.
The relay team of Lakan and Kirstan Beaver, Payton Nicholson and Palmer Duncan swam to a 12th-place finish in the 200 yard freestyle relay in a time of 1:53.77 to punch their ticket. But the team missed out on the final spot in the 200 yard medley relay, coming in 13th with a time of 2:08.97, finished less than one second behind East Lincoln.
Individually, McCulloch tied for 10th in the 50 yard freestyle in a time of 23.59 to qualify. Eaton followed that up with a 12th-place finish in the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 1:01.07 to reach states.
The second boys relay team of Eaton, Gant, Morton and Austin Coley nearly qualified, falling just short in the 400 yard freestyle relay, finishing 13th (3:44.73). The girls squad missed the cut in the same race, touching the wall in 17th-place (4:25.17).
Other Elkin swimmers nearly qualified in individual events.
Duncan finished 15th in the 100 yard backstroke (1:11.28), while Morton came in 21st in the 50 yard freestyle (24.36). The Beaver sisters finished 21st and 22nd in the 100 yard backstroke - Lakan (1:22.89), Kirstan (1:23.89). Nicholson rounded out Elkin's swimmers with a 23rd-place finish in the 50 yard freestyle with a time of 29.05.
The Elks will compete Saturday at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary in the dual 1A/2A championships. According to the NCSHAA, swimming will commence each day with preliminaries starting after the coaches' meeting, which is scheduled to end at around 8:45 am. Finals are slated to begin at 5:00 pm each day.

No, Devolution is pretty amazing at that. It will support Wii controllers at some point and already plays many games DM doesn't. They only issues I have with it, is that it pretty much requires true 1:1 image of disc (can't blame the author though - so many bad rips) and original discs for its AP (Security.) After you load the original discs, it reads the security and then stores it so you don't need it again. The issue many people have, is their lasers are toast and they are S.O.L with running it.
I do hope DM supports streaming audio sooner than later though as competition is always nice

Yeah, my laser seems to be crappng out but I'm getting it fixed soon. I'll definitely have to try out Devolution and see how well it works for me (you know, assuming my "disc read error" problem is solved by getting a new laser lol). Does Devolution have a official page like on google code or something? I'd like to look into it and compare it to DIOS MIOSOriginally Posted by thevoiceover

Some Google applications need a lot of time to add even the most basic features. Gmail Chat added the invisible status in February and now this feature is also available in the Google Talk gadget and in Google Talk Labs Edition. Don't ask about the classic Google Talk client, which was last updated in January 2007.
In a previous post, many people argued that it's not wise to add the invisible status because the instant messaging becomes less useful as more people become "invisible". "It's like one-way spying. If you're going to be online to see if your friends are online, at least have the respect to show other people that you're online. What happens if both you and your friend want to talk to each other, but are both on invisible? You'll never discover that you're online," commented Jyvyn.
One solution for this problem could be to show different statuses, depending on your contacts. "What would be most helpful would be some sort of 'group block' or 'group invisible'. I have a number of work contacts that use g-chat so I need to be on and available, but often I am interrupted by friends wanting to chat and I have to ignore them or interrupt my work to explain I can't talk. If I could add all my work contacts to a group, and show my status to them as online, while showing everyone else away, invisible, or even offline - now that would be useful," said nauthiz693.
Integrating Gmail's contact groups with Google Talk is an obvious next step, but this might require many months of coding. After all, adding the invisible status is probably the second most notable feature added by Google Talk this year, after the chatback badges.
{ Thanks, Carlos. }

So far the games hype is low, and the only reason it is low is because of people knocking it for being 2D.....
Graphics don't matter its the game play, there are so many 3D mmo's out today that half of them are clones of each other, i think its a bit of fresh air now that a new 2D game is being released,
End of tho, don't knock it until you have tried it, graphics don't count for nothing, game play all the way :)
oh and for the person who said this
"You pay REAL money to gamble on getting virtual stuff"
No you don't, you buy fortune boxes with in game gold, you might unlock some thing good you might not its a 50/50, you will have the option to by extra items from the item mall which will not give players 100% advantage

Although I'm sure the 2d graphics and unimaginative gameplay are partly responsible for people ignoring the game, the fact the scum known as K2Network is running it is probably responsible for the majority of people turning away from it.

K2 can't be as bad a Game Network, why does everybody hate K2 anyway?
No customer support.
Corrupt GMs.
Showing preference to specific groups.
Unenforced rules against hacking/botting.
And the list goes on.
All of these things are how they run Knight Online, and have for years. Noone expects them to suddenly give a crap, regardless what game they put out.
K2 is all about money, period. And if it comes at the expense of the gameplay of it's customers, even better in their eyes.

2d or 3d doesn't matter... crap is crap. Also, yes game play is important, but graphics are to, I don't want to play Pac-Man the mmorpg, no matter how good the game play is.

Use your brains,not only gun in your pocket...
Some people are looking into gameplay too not only to 2d or 3d.Very nice to hear "2d?OMG,Its totaly crap.Just drop them out".I dont think so,because when the game is crappy the 2d or 3d not judges much.....
Wating for Mario MMORPG..It was a joke,btw.

Sorry guys its 2008...2d games are cool if they are old...classic games...not new (2007) games.
its not about the graphics, to be honest, its a feeling of being trapped in one camera setting. Its about a style of gameplay that works only on classic games from the 90's.
The old 2d graphics aside, im sure this game hasent done anything new to offset its 1990's graphics. Im sure it has all been done before by games 12 years older than this.
so its not about the game being 2d as much is its about offering something in 2007-2008 that has been beaten to death in the 90's.

Ahhhhhhhhh good old K2, home to turkish hackers, easily bought, and love to give their friends gm edits to play with!! Higher the price you pay, better your char is. I dont miss being part of their games and I must say, i dont miss being hacked or sworn at by ppl, or gms. I dont miss the chidlish bs that goes on with K2 and I really really am glad they took my hi lvl char away, gave me a chance to get out with some dignity intact. Funniest thing is, it was a click and buy screwup but thanks to K2, I have nothing to be ashamed about, at least I built her from scratch, not a day went by I didnt play legit and hard.....
K2, I wish you would just dissappear into the great unknown where you belong, scamming innocent ppl, really, I cant believe anyone in the gaming world still gives you a chance.....
It is ironic the way people come to bash the game companies without proper facts........Perhaps hoping some innocent readers will get their attention.
Same happens with Blizzard and any other company .....
Hey man.....as long as the game is free2play....no one gives a damn about your accusations ...Let the people play and learn for themselves....dont come out here and bash a company without proper evidence to back it up.....same applies to the other guy who posted earlier......

You want a piece of me? My 400 lb. Jackelope say otherwise.
I want to say that the game handlers of this great game are driving it into the ground. All I had was one linking issue, 8 customer support tickets and one month later I was left with no solution to my issue. Finally got resolution on the ninth ticket, but only after much grief. Game community was not bad, but has digressed into guilds Ks'ing each other at the best experience-getting spots, and no one wants to even party you for a secret dungeon if you aren't from their guild.
What really takes the cake is the fact that all of the servers that they have handling the game shut down almost every other day for a period of time, even though they have a weekly "maintenance". Over 50% of the guild wars that take place every saturday, the lag and disconnections are so bad, you might as well just give up. In my almost year and a half of playing, there wasn't one week that went by without an unscheduled server down-time.
Premium players are supposed to get "enhanced customer support" and as a premium player for the last 5 months of my time I spent playing, I don't think I would agree that any enhanced customer support even exists.
Overall, I had great fun making friends in the game, but it's like driving a beater car, if multiple mechanics can't fix the car and it keeps leaving you stranded, well what would you do?
NuckInUK, and Zorvan, you have both obviously played the game :)
Redstone, played for a year and a half... yes it is that good until you get involved with their horrific (preferential) game community.

Not trying to bash around or accuse you of anything...but the fact that you are trying to justify the foolish decision you made to play a "not so well supported" game for over a year clearly shows....LOL and in what ways does it prove that Nuck or Zorvan have played "this" game (weren't they referring to knight online)?? ROFL and you didn't mind getting scammed for those 5 months. Dude, there are way better games out there. If you are unhappy with even 20% of the game (including customer support) then move on, dont give game companies that dont deserve growth that chance. Dont come and rant about the game when you still get some sort of wierd satisfaction playing it. Thanks for thinking that I am a GM though. :D...Really like the idea of it..but thinking of the "type" of customers they have to handle...LOL....
P.S...Sorry if I hurt your feelings. Nothing personal bro. Coz I am tired of immature complaints when you know that you have the freedom to leave a BAD game and you just create negative energy by whining over it..

Omg, you are complaining about our complaining? Sooo further proof you are what I said you were. Other evidence: You posted within 30 minutes of my post, just reeks of the Redstone Damage control Inc. LOLOLOL
What person (s) come onto any forum to defend online games anyways? What do you possibly have to gain by debating over another's experiences in this online gaming? The only end to online debating is personal attacks and degradement of each other, which you have already started to do. We are just simply offering our experiences with this game for others to read, and you decide there is something to argue about? Something to have to defend? Even you degraded Redstone, so what exactly are you posturing opposite my argument?
Oh and I might add, you gotta love forum folks who think it somehow improves their "whatever" by quoting the post immediately above their next post. Can't people just scroll up to read the posts you might be referring to? Perhaps they don't know how to scroll up and could possibly miss that post. So glad you quoted it (in its entirety) so the rest of us wouldn't miss it.

I prefer to play mmogs that has lots of character diversity, offers the ability to customize, and has cool looking armor and weapons. Even if you can customize in some 2-D games it really unoticable.
Yeah gameplay matters a lot, but who wants to invest a lot time in leveling a character and he still looks like crap?

For all to see.... did I not say how this was going to end? To say that it is an end is far from correct. As all can observe, nomraw is just another shining example of the sickness of Redstone. Go. See for yourself. Go to their forums. See if you like this "game" they have designed within an online game of "forum argument". The illusion is that nomraw thinks I am still trying to argue with him/her. I have already quit the game of Redstone. I have already went to their forums and did this "side" game of he said/she said garbage.
You gotta ask yourself, when you read posts from someone you have decided to oppose, LISTEN to the arguments you immediately formulate. Isn't it exciting? You do it with the absorption of every syllable of the opposing text. It becomes such a large function of your reading, you often don't even try to grasp an understanding of the opposing argument. That is your shortfall. So much of your energy is concentrated in the rapid formulation of argument, and not absorbing any of the other side.
Let me try and do what I am saying. I understand your point. Let people go and try any game for themselves. Perhaps you misunderstood what we were saying to others in this thread. Although, in my experience, this game is just as I and the others who in the thread have bashed.
If you want a game with...
No customer support. (buy premium, see how their "enhanced customer support" works out for you, should be called "enhanced customer redirection")
Daily disconnections.
Corrupt GMs.
Enough lag to stop a Boeing 747.
Showing preference to specific groups. (This is so true, I played in the Ogre secret dungeon with Shield and Hmghawj when we were all around lvl 65-80. After almost 9 months, they were lvl 400+, and I still was only lvl 220.)
Unenforced rules against hacking/botting. (pfft, then I found out about sandboxie, no wonder everyone passed me in leveling so easy. Everyone telling me its cause I wasn't premium. Phooey.)
Bah! Why even try to win an argument against someone about something I have already stopped playing. You know what they say about winning arguments on the internet. It's like winning the special olympics. You may have won, but your still R*******. Win on nomraw. Win on.
Real reason I quit for good from the game of Redstone....
"In my almost year and a half of playing, there wasn't one week that went by without an unscheduled server down-time." (and i'm pretty sure the dam thing is doubling as a front for some hacking entrepreneurs also).
Redstone, played for a year and a half... yes it is that good until you get involved with their horrific (preferential) game community.
ROFL.....I've never played red stone so.... I dunno how I am sickening the community : (.... I apologise for all the other "clones" like me who made you quit this game....XD...
btw...you need to read your own post...some of the points applies to you more than to me...
My point is pretty simple here....Play the game to form your opinion....If you hate it..move on.....dont bash it while you still love it...
Oh the point you made about "personal attack"....You started the argument mate...not me :D....calling me a GM...and all that...thinking I was doing damage control....what is wrong in expressing an opinion in "general"....I pretty much do the same stuff with other games....(varies ofcourse )? you clearly show your intelligence....ROFL....
Ohh yeaa...Please dont beg others to support your arguments....(Clear indication that you are one of those people who thinks their opnion is the word of god)
Oh yea...if it makes you happy...I will be busy for a while...so you may take time with your replies...and I might come back to argue with you...if I am still interested in keeping myself entertained ofcourse..
And please note....dont make it more personal than it already is...you are more than welcome to make valid arguments with any post I make..for ANY game...
Testing out TCoS now..so...Please dont call me a GM of Acclaim now =.=...

This whole arguement is pitiful. Alanni you're just wasting your time. Nomraw has his right to defend the game and you're basically saying he doesn't. If he cares enough about the game to defend it that says something. Stop bashing him personally if you want to rant about the game. I don't understand why you even kept arguing this long. You were trying to act like you were better than him and soooo high and mighty... You ended up sounding like an immature idiot. Congratulations, you made me make a post just to explain how pitiful you are. Red Stone is a good game in it's own right. It's all personal opinion. Don't bash people for theirs. I'm not saying you weren't entitled to yours but you took it too far.

I decided to post an opinion based upon my gameplay of the game topic. This opinion was contrary to several in the thread. I disagreed with nomraw, and discussion ensued. Then along comes others to offer their opinion of the argument. My experience with Redstone was less than satisfactory. Then when I had CS issues, their staff showed how neanderthal they could become. They are a bunch of preferential jerks over there at K2, and that is based upon my own personal experience with the dam game for over a year and a half. Dispute it all you want in this thread, but my experience remains, like it or not.
Matter of fact, many online games who are in their second-third years, who came out with all the pomp, romp, and excitement, go to their forums and a good portion have dropped the ball. I have read tons of forum threads on other games where game moderators are constantly doing damage control. The problem with online games seems to have many facets. Why hasn't Archlord or 2Moons progressed into their destined positions? They are both great games, but somehow lack whatever is needed to continue to grow, attract, and keep players. Just like Redstone.

Pumpkin Festival wraps up in Milton
MILTON -- Milton ended its four-day run of playing host to thousands of festival fanatics as the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival came to a close Sunday.
The cooler temperatures and forecasts calling for a chance of rain may have prevented attendance levels from setting a new record at West Virginia Pumpkin Park, but the 27th edition of the Pumpkin Festival was still deemed a success by festival president Bill Kelley.
"Our goal every year is to offer more things for people to do and make their experience more enjoyable, so we think we've achieved that," an exhausted Kelley said Sunday afternoon while taking a short break from his duties.
In addition to a larger variety of food, arts and crafts and business vendors peddling their goods, the festival added The Wall That Heals, a half-scale traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
There were also a number of infrastructure upgrades made at the 86-acre Pumpkin Park in time for this year's festival, Kelley said. Among them were new sidewalks throughout the park and the new 950-seat music hall.
"We've got almost $1 million tied up in that music hall, but it's all been paid for," Kelley said. "I can proudly say that we've never been in debt."
The pumpkin auction wrapped up the festival with Cabell Circuit Judge Paul Farrell Sr. taking home the prize-winning gourd, a 951-pound behemoth grown by Pendleton County resident Herman Hevener. Farrell has purchased the top pumpkin in all but two of the 12 years he has bid at the auction.
All of the money raised at the auction goes toward the Pumpkin Festival's Scholarship Fund, which awarded $2,000 scholarships to three West Virginia high school seniors Sunday.
The scholarship recipients were Kayla Goodwin of Parkersburg High School, Alexis James of Capital High School and Katie Hinkle of Cabell Midland High School.
Kelley said the 25-member Pumpkin Festival Board of Directors has been working on the 2013 festival for a few months now. A coal mine museum that will become a permanent fixture on the park property should be open by then, he said. Milton businessman Roger Ball donated about $100,000 in mining equipment that will be showcased in the museum.

I found these little gumdrops placed on a table by one of my children. Definitely not Charlie. Maybe Andrew. Probably Libby. Those made me happy too.
I opted for pumpkin cookies for our cookie of the week. Made yesterday. With five left today. Just five. The ones with nuts. The ones I like. I promised everyone I would make more today. They were that good.

Bellator today announced the release of Matt Riddle from the promotion following his withdrawal from the organizations next event.
MMAjunkie could not reach Riddle for comment on his release, and a Bellator official declined to identify the reason for the welterweights scratch from Fridays Bellator 109.
Thats something youre going to have to talk to Matt about, Anthony Mazzuca, Bellators Director of Communications, told MMAjunkie.
Before his withdrawal, Riddle was scheduled to face Nathan Coy on the events main card before a hometown crowd at Sands Casino Event Center in Bethlehem, Pa., which is a short drive from his birthplace of Allentown, Pa.
Coy will now be rescheduled for a later event, Mazzuca said. Bellator 109′s main card airs live on Spike TV following prelims on Spike.com.
Riddle, 27, announced his retirement shortly after a cracked rib forced him to withdraw from Bellators Season 9 welterweight tournament. Three weeks later, he changed his mind and agreed to fight at Bellator 109.
Riddle told MMAjunkie he called it quits when Bellator couldnt immediately guarantee him a fight later in the season, but was convinced to return when the promotion advanced him money and booked him for the November event.
Now, the fighter goes back to the drawing board.
Matt was a guy we had high hopes for coming into Bellator, Mazzuca stated in a prepared statement. After Matt suffered his rib injury and withdrew from our tournament, we went back to the drawing board and got Matt another fight on November 22nd. Unfortunately, Matt very recently informed us he would not be fighting on November 22nd from Bethlehem, and at that point we decided to release Matt from Bellator. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.

Say no to stretch marks!
Celebrities love it, beauty editors love it and it is the winner of seven awards! This is the product that stars like Christina Aguilera and Jessica Alba can't live without.
Because baby takes approximately 70% of mom's omega acids for brain and retinal development, mothers typically lack the level of Omegas that keep skin strong and elastic to ward off those unsightly stretch marks. The only way to ensure your skin gets a sufficient dose of Omegas is to apply it topically. This super rich natural butter is packed full of top quality Omega 3, 6 and 9 to help prevent stretch marks and relieve that itchy belly. Because this product is not petrolatum based, it absorbs quickly and leaves no greasy residue or after feel. All the ingredients are natural, so it's safe for mommy and baby during pregnancy. It is also recommended to use Tummy Rub Butter on other stretch mark prone areas, such as the breasts, hips and bottom. Tummy Rub Butter should be used starting right before you show through 4 months post pregnancy.
Tummy Rub Butter is free of all petrolatum, artificial preservatives and fragrances, parabens, colorants and phthalates.

McFARLANE TOYS TO EXHIBIT AT NFL EXPERIENCE IN MIAMI
This Year's Exclusive Sports Picks Figure Is Jason Taylor
Friday, October 13, 2006
McFarlane Toys continues our road trip tradition in 2007, setting up our awe-inspiring booth at the NFL Experience at the Super Bowl in Miami in January. The NFL Experience will be located inside Pro Player Stadium in downtown Miami, and our booth will be open from Wednesday, Jan. 31 through Sunday, Feb. 4. This is our fifth consecutive Super Bowl appearance, and as in previous years, we'll be providing an exclusive Sports Picks figure for our Miami collectors.
Dolphins defensive end Jason Taylor has been the catalyst for the Miami defense since arriving as a third-round pick out of Akron in the 1997 NFL Draft. Taylor has delivered 96.5 sacks in his career, making him the Dolphins all-time leader by far and leaving him just shy of the 100-sack plateau -- a feat accomplished by only 22 other players in NFL history. Taylor's 96.5 sacks rank him third among all active players.
Our exclusive Jason Taylor figure marks his Sports Picks debut, and will be available for $15 at the NFL Experience. We will likely restrict purchases to one per person, in order to stretch out the 5,000 figures as far into the event as possible. Stay tuned to Spawn.com in the coming weeks for your first look at the Jason Taylor Exclusive figure.
See you in Miami!

I picked my way down the aisle of the Greyhound, avoiding that guy hacking like Ratzo Rizzo, and discovered two empty seats near the back. Could it be that—in spite of the Easter rush, in spite of the packed bus from Florence, in spite of the 2 1/2-hour delay in Fayetteville, in spite of the run of lousy luck that had brought me here in the first place—I would actually be able to stretch out and grab some Zs between here and Richmond?
Pull away, Bus, I prayed. Now.
The Largest Man in the World lurched up the aisle. Eight feet, 600 pounds. Taco Bell bag clutched to his chest, wrapped in the stench of tired chimichangas.
He halted at my seat. Hunkered in.
There is no god.
I had just finished an author gig at Francis Marion University in Florence, SC. The students were courteous and intelligent; my hosts, English professor Jon Tuttle and his lovely wife Cheryl, were great fun. There was sunshine; there was laughter; there were insightful questions. There was even a decent paycheck.
It was good.
Then I tried to get home.
I'd bought my tickets from Spirit Air two months earlier on line. I had never flown Spirit, but it flew non-stop to Myrtle Beach, an hour from Florence. My tickets were for April 1, returning April 3.
The flight to Florence was uneventful.
However, on April 3—the day before Easter—I arrived at the Myrtle Beach airport to discover that my return flight was canceled. Explanations were vague and unsatisfactory, and spirits in the Spirit ticket line were not high.
There were many of us. We inched to the counter, one by one, where the clerk told us she could get us to NYC late tomorrow, Easter night. Spirit could not book or reimburse for hotels.
When my turn came, she shook her head at my ticket information. "This says MAY third. There's nothing I can do."
I'm a night owl; I confess I made my reservations at 2 a.m. I routinely make reservations at 2 a.m. Done it for years; never screwed up. But the Spirit Air website was tricky; it not only flipped the month on me, but because I didn't un-check a box, it sold me "optional" cancellation insurance.
Unfortunately, it was for Spirit's cancellation. Which had not yet happened to my MAY 3 flight.
Not yet.
I sat on the floor—there were no seats—and called Amtrak. Their only train before Easter was full.
So I called Greyhound.
Last month, I traveled Greyhound for the first time since the '60s. Paul and I were on a complicated vacation; we booked a bus for one short leg to avoid a steep rental-car drop-off fee. The bus had left five hours late.
So I had reason to fear the Dog. But what could I do? Renting a car would be expensive and laborious. If I got a flight—not likely, since Spirit was serving APRIL 3 passengers first—I would miss Easter dinner with the family.
Greyhound's phone guy said the bus would leave Florence at 7:30 p.m. and arrive in NYC at 10 a.m. I was to come an hour early.
Jon and Cheryl Tuttle gamely ferried me back to Florence to catch my bus.
I showed up, as ordered, an hour early. The station was locked.
"They open it at 7," a fellow rider informed me.
A kid wandered up with a tray of saran-wrapped brownies. "Best Brownies in the World," he announced. "One dollar each."
"How do you know they're the best in the world?" I asked him.
"I tasted 'em," he said. Michelle had made them, and she was the Best Baker in the World.
A paint-peeling old Chevy ground through the lot, driven by a madwoman in silver cat's-eye shades. She rolled down the window, blasting us with Michael Jackson, and waved. Michelle.
I bought a brownie.
The Greyhound agent unlocked the door at seven. At 7:30, the bus pulled in. All of us managed to get aboard, even those who had not been able to get on the earlier bus because Greyhound sells far more tickets than they have seats.
The first leg of the trip, from Florence to Fayetteville, ran on time. I sat beside a good-looking, smart young woman. She worked in a fast-food joint, and it was wearing on her. Didn't know what she wanted to be; didn't have the money to be it. Was on her way to sign up for the Army. "My sister's already in the Air Force," she said, "but they met their quota for new recruits."
I offered her the Best Brownie in the World, but she said she wasn't hungry.
We were to change buses in Fayetteville, but our new bus was being fixed because it couldn't go over 55 miles per hour. So we all stood in line. One hour passed. Two. The young man ahead of me had three bus switches to get to Pittsburgh, where he was a junior in college. "I'll never make my connections," he said.
He drew out a benefits sheet from his Army recruiter. He was fielding three part-time jobs, but he still had loan debts of $65,000. The Army would cover it all for him if he joined for three years and waived some of his GI Bill benefits. "I don't want to leave the US," he said. "Especially to go to Iraq or Afghanistan. But this debt is killing me; I don't know how else I'll ever pay it off."
I offered him the Best Brownie in the World. He took it eagerly.
At last, after 2 1/2 hours of sitting on our bags, we were called to our—repaired, we hoped—bus.
I found my seat. That's when the Largest Man in the World arrived, bearing Taco Bell.
It is not easy to sleep when you share a seat with the Largest Man in the World. Especially when he snores. A snork-snork-snork that halts abruptly, leaving you panicked that he's died–My god, I'll be trapped here forever—then, snork-snork-snork.
And then there was the Taco Bell issue. I sure you get my…er…drift.
Somehow, in time, I managed to doze. And woke, squashed and cranky, as we pulled into Richmond.
The bus disappeared. To be repaired. Same problem. We were running late already, and our 45-minute rest stop stretched to an hour, then two.
We reboarded at last. The Largest Man in the World welcomed me back. "Nothing personal," I said, as I walked on by.
Another, smaller man sat next to me and I fell asleep. I woke at 9 a.m.; the sun beamed on the Washington Monument, the Capitol dome, the bikepaths of DC. The driver revised our New York ETA to 2 p.m.
Baltimore. Up front, Ratzo Hacked. The Largest Man in the World belched. The man behind me phone-talked three women—his kids' mom, the girlfriend who was picking him up in NYC, and somebody called Sugar, as in "Oh, Sugar, you know I wanna, but I'm stuck here in DC for a week with my old friend Lionel, remember him?" Little kids stirred; they'd been so quiet all night I'd forgotten they were there. Michael Jackson leaked from the earphones of the woman in front of me.
And the Dog lumbered on, on, on.

Wednesday, February 5, 2014
The Region 8AAA schedule is coming to a close with the playoffs set to begin in little more than a week and the Berkeley Stags are on the edge.
With a 9-9 record overall and a 2-3 record in games through Jan. 31, the Stags stand on the edge of the state playoffs in fourth place with a 2-3 record. Orangeburg-Wilkinson, Hanahan and James Island are all tied for the top spot with identical 4-1 records.
While not out of the seeding race completely, Berkeley could do some damage in the regular seasons final two weeks with games against Hanahan, Orangeburg-Wilkinson and James Island on tap for this week.
Its a simple formula win and youre in.
On Jan. 31, the Stags edged Hilton Head 35-33 in a defensive battle. The Stags failed to register a player in double figures but Molik Meggett and DAndre Richardson each tallied eight points each for the Stags and Alex Taylor added six points.
In Berkeleys 65-59 loss to the Hawks on Jan. 17, Malik Meggett led the Stags with 19 points, following by DAndre Richardsons 14 points and Demery Fords 10 points.
In the Stags 55-41 loss to James Island, Meggett once again led BHS in scoring with 17 points, followed by big man Alex Taylors 10 points.
In the game against Orangebur-Wilkinson it was Taylor who threw down the big game inside with 17 points. Meggett chipped in 13 points and Richardson added nine points to lead BHS.
Should the Stags finish as the Region 8AAA fourth seed, they will open the playoffs on the road on Feb. 18, against the number one seed in Region 7AAA.

Looks pretty nice. Would you rather use this or something more external like a TYLT Powerplant?
mophie juice pack helium for iPhone 5 review
The mophie juice pack helium is an all new, all lighter and thinner battery charging case for the lighter and thinner iPhone 5. It features a 1500mAh, barely more than the iPhone 5's built-in 1440mAh battery, and when translated into external battery pack terms, that packs roughly an 80% refill charge.
The design of the mophie juice pack helium is similar to previous generation juice packs, though longer and even more svelte. Like Apple, mophie has made a conscious choice to emphasize extreme thinness and lightness over everything else. (mophie does, however, make a juice pack air that provides more battery.)
As you'd expect, cut-outs leave all buttons accessible, though ports are a different story. Since Apple relocated the 3.5mm headphone jack to the bottom, and that's where mophie packs much of its battery extension, they've had to figure out a work around. That comes in the form of a small extender that feels through a long hole in the juice pack and plugs into the 3.5mm port on the iPhone 5. You then plug your headphones into the extender.
Likewise, the Lightning port is covered, as 30-pin Dock connector was in prior mophie juice packs, and you have no access to it. Instead, also as before, you have a micro-USB port that charges the mophie and the iPhone 5 both. personally, I'd still prefer a Lightning port pass through. It's far more flexible than USB, and any iPhone owner will already have cables for it.
As it stands the USB port can't be used for more more than charging. None of the Lightning adapters work with it, obviously, so you have to take the mophie off to use, for example, the HDMI adapter. Also, you can't sync over USB to iTunes with the mophie on. You have to use Wi-Fi sync to connect to iTunes.
I don't sync with iTunes, wired or wireless, anymore (I have iCloud, I'm fine), and Wi-Fi sync works great, but for those who like to move large files around old school style, that'll be an annoyance.
The exterior of the mophie juice pack helium is covered in a soft-touch finish that feels even softer to the touch than previous models. Velvety even. It comes in two colors, the dark gray, which is available now, and the light gray, which ships next month.
The bottom section comes off like a cap, like with later versions of the juice packs for the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, and the top slides off.
There's the usual button on the back that will illuminate one of four lights to show you the current remaining charge level. In my nearly constant use over the last week and half, the indicator was accurate and the recharge consistently brought my iPhone back from the brink roughly 80%.
The good
- Light, slim design
- Recharges iPhone 5 80%
The bad
- USB rather than Lightning prevents anything but charging
The bottom line
The mophie juice pack air is an interesting compromise, much like the iPhone 5 itself. While lighter and thinner than any juice pack before it, because the iPhone 5 is so much lighter than any iPhone, the net different is still appreciable -- an iPhone 5 in a juice pack helium feels solid.
If traveling light but staying charged is your number one priority, the mophie juice pack helium is just about perfect. If you're willing to sacrifice weight for more charging power, check out the juice pack air instead.

mophie juice pack helium for iPhone 5 review
I have two mophie power station duo's I keep in my travel bag, but the helium is much nicer to cary in a pocket. I'll use that first and switch to the power station if I have to.
Great review. Have you by chance had the opportunity to compare the Helium to the Air side-by-side? I think I prefer how the Air handles the power and volume buttons, but that's just based on the photos I've seen. I'm also somewhat disappointed with how they chose to handle the headphone port. I would have preferred a headphone port built into to the bottom of the unit, rather than relying on the supplied adapter. How have you found that aspect of the design?
Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when I'm in the market :)
I do like mine, but it only has been able to charge back up to 61%, not the claimed 80%
Oh, and you also don't need to use the supplied adaptor for the earplug.....most earphones plug right in still, at least thats been my experience so far.
I'd imagine for instances where a headphone manufacturer uses a perpendicular or angled port. Or just a fat connector.
That's just what I wanted to know, thanks. So the Apple earbuds will still plug in fine?
The i5 headphones DO fit in and work... but here's what's going to happen:
In order to pull the headphones OUT, you'll be pulling the CABLE and not the fat bit.
I can feel the strain that's putting on the thin cable as I pulled it out..
(That's what she said)
Seems that mophie failed to "Think Different" in terms of comparison to their prior products, as well as slider cases in general.
Why does the smaller part of a slider case always need to be the bottom? It could be the top as well, or even closer to the middle. Would mean you are holding the bottom part, so adds to the security as well (No more bottom falling out and phone sliding out issues, though I know those are rare).
But, for what the case is designed to do, which is get you through a long day of use, it seems to do the job well. May have to pick one of these up for my next trip to Disney World or Disneyland...
Really, the "bad" was the micro USB port instead of the Lightning port. Who doesn't own an micro USB cable considering it is the standard among every electronics manufacturer. While they should be using the built in charging port, perhaps Mophie is taking a smart approach and allowing you to charge your phone and case anywhere anytime without the $30 apple cable. Perhaps Mophie is being smart and not wanting to pay Apple for (2) Lightning ports, maybe the design would have required more length and would not be a good design.
In the end I would rather just carry a cable with me for charging than a bulky case that adds way too much weight in the first place and does not protect the ports on the top or side and leaves them open to scratches, that should be under "bad" not the micro USB.
I'm glad I found out the air is coming out for the 5 with covered buttons and higher percentage charge.
Can't wait. Kinda dissapointed Mophie didn't announce both cases at the same time to avoid confusion with customers.
You can use a Helium without the extender, but it is awkward. The housing is just a mm or two taller than the fat part of the Apple earbuds cable, so you can *sometimes* get it in properly, but most of the time you have to snap off the bottom, thread the headphones, and snap it back in. Doable, but inconvenient. If the bottom panel was just a mm or 2 shorter, it would not be necessary. Some third party headphones work better, too, because they have a longer fat part and/or are stiffer at that end and therefore easier to set in the recessed jack. But the combination of the Helium and Apple's Earbuds is surprisingly inelegant.
I still love the extra power, though
I often use headphones with an angled plug, so I'd need to use the adapter most times. To me, it seems like a bit of a design flaw not to incorporate the adapter into the bottom half of the case itself. I'll only be using this on days when I don't have access to an outlet (maybe once or twice a week, and travel), but I'd still prefer a cleaner design.
Agreed wholeheartedly -- it is my only real complaint about the Helium so far. I presume it was a manufacturing cost issue, but personally I would have gladly paid an extra few bucks to have a cleaner headset jack design.
A headphone adapter? I didn't realize that. Does it come with?
I am really not sure how I feel about that now...I use my earbuds all the time, and that looks like a bit of an inconvenience. I wonder if the uNu (http://www.myunu.com/dx-protective-iphone-5-battery-case.html) suffers the same problem. I have used Mophie in the past...so I know what to expect, except I didn't expect this.
It comes with it, but you don't have to use it, though you may have to snap off the bottom, seat the headphones, and snap the bottom back in.
Rene, can you add a picture of the Helium case next to a naked iPhone - so we can see the difference in thickness? I can't seem to find a picture like that anywhere.
Nice but falls short, headphone adapter, USB non-syncing, smaller battery. While the delay of the Lighting port is understandable the other itmes should have been considered. Why is it so hard to think out of the box?
So the deal breaker for me is non-Sync through the charging port. If I use the case it stays on all of the time, I prefer just to go external. The external can be left to charge in my room and carried all day/night, so my phone is not tied up charging a charger to charge my Phone.
Best of luck is it works for your situation, enjoy it.
bought it, used it for about a week and sent it back. 2 main problems:
1. the unit discolored from the grayish silver to a burnt brown on the back of the unit. Dont know if it was from the leather case I was using to carry it on my belt or from the unit overheating internally. The case I was using was black by the way.
2. when connected to USB power I would get the dreaded yellow triangle on my iPhone saying charging was not supported with this device.
Not happy with Mophie as their iphone 4 units functioned flawlessly... this seems like a rush to develop and get to market.... Returned for a refund and bought a Zuzo battery case. This one uses lightening cable for charge and sync.... waiting for that to arrive to see how that works.
I find the most interesting thing being battery capacity and price.
4/4s options:
Air: 1500mAh $80 list
Plus: 2000mAh $100 list
Helium for 5: 1500mAh $80 List (priced like the Air for 4/4s)
Air for 5: 1700mAh $100 List (priced like the Plus for 4/4s).
I have a plus on my 4 and love it and the 2000mAh battery. I would have liked the Red Air for my 4 but I wanted the bigger battery. I imagine Mophie will also come out with a Plus for the 5. But what battery and what price???
I am not due for upgrade until Feb of next year and I will get a mophie for whatever device I end up with (5 or some new/bigger iphone perhaps). But $100 is already more than enough. But since the Air has been pushed up to a 1700mAh battery, that might be enough and I can get the version that is all Red. I really feel like the fact that they went with 1700mAh for the 5 Air says that a new Plus is on the way too.......
How do you work at iMore & not know that Apple doesn't license female lightning connectors? You'll never see a approved Apple accessory with a lightning port.
Has a drop test been performed with this case? I'm currently using an otterbox but will gladly grab the helium *if* it provides some level of protection. Anyone know?
How o where can I get an aditional pass-through extension cable?
Great piece. Mophie Juicepack is clearly the best-made smartphone battery case...but i want you and your readers to know that "USB instead of lightning prevents iTune sync" has nothing to do with it. http://tinyurl.com/lhg5coy I am on my third iPhone battery case, and have researched many more--all of which have USB instead of Lightning--and the Juicepack is the ONLY one in the industry that won't sync iTunes via USB. It's hard to fathom how every other manufacturer managed to get that right while Mophie decided to take away USB sync on its cases for the 5, but it is true. I'm using the I-Blason now, and I love the battery life and USB iTunes sync...but fit and finish don't match the Juicepack. What I want is a Juicepack that USB syncs or, better, a Lenmar Meridian with built-in control buttons instead of cheapie cutouts.
I just wanted to say I just purchased mophie juicepack Helium and discovered that the Roots XL Leather Side Belt Clip Holster for Samsung Galaxy S3 holds it perfectly!! like it was made for it.

Oh God. You know the one. That picture that your parents always had on the mantelpiece, directly above the electric 3-bar fire.
The one which taunted you for all those years.
Yep, this was mine.
The photo that your elderly aunt loved, but that you vowed to turn to ash before you ever brought a boyfriend home to be inspected by your dad.
We all had one. Goofy teeth or wonky fringe, puppy fat or fashion fail of epic proportions. Maybe you were just with Mickey Mouse – sometimes it can all get a bit too much for public display when you're 14.
For me, it was pimples. And my boyfriend's 'gold' chain gift which seemed to leave grey marks on my neck when I wore it. Scumbag.
Go on, fetch it out and share it with us now.
Love it for all its gut-wrenching awfulness, and celebrate the passing of time, and the making of 'You'.
Share your memories with us in this week's Link Up – either write a blog post and link it up (the Linky will stay open for some time yet, so no need to rush), or just share your memories with us in the comments if you prefer – you don't have to have a Blog to play!

Everything changed for me when I learned to acknowledge that I was made in the image of Jesus, who was theology and biology integrated.
This series features excerpts from the newly released book Genesis: History, Fiction, or Neither?: Three Views on the Bible's Earliest Chapters, part of Zondervan's Counterpoints series in which top scholars present their cases and respond to each other's presentations.
Being a scientist in the Christian community, now that's a little difficult at times. Many Christians have stubbornly resisted understanding the vastness of God's creation in time and space.
I think the deepest question is "chance vs. necessity" in the origin of life. Not so much whether life was bound to occur...but more the question, "given that life started, was it destined to look the way we find it?"
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
Patheos blogger RJS completes long series of blogs reviewing the important book "Seriously Dangerous Religion: What the Old Testament Really Says and Why It Matters," and it's a must-read.

A continuation of our series featuring our new and revised "Common Questions" pages
Many voices in the origins debate have strong opinions about whether their views on science and the Bible are "concordist", yet there is little agreement about what the word actually means.
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Series adapted from the article "The Narrative Form of Genesis 1: Cosmogonic, Yes; Scientific, No", originally published in 1984 in the Journal of the American Scientific Affiliation (now Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith). It is reprinted with permission. The ideas in this essay are drawn by Hyers' excellent book The Meaning of Creation: Genesis and Modern Science.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.
Because reliance upon experts cannot be eliminated, the central question for Christians today is not "should I believe scientific experts?" but "which scientific experts should I believe?"
I've always thought of the sense of smell as a more intimate sense than most other senses. For in smelling, the thing that we smell becomes almost a part of us.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
