The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
This is a transcript of an interview given by Dr. Jennifer Wiseman at The Faith Angle Forum Conference on Religion, Politics, & Public Life on November 5, 2013.
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Were one to propose creation by means of theistic evolution, some of the presuppositions for these responses to the problem of evil no longer function. Therefore, advocating some form of theistic evolution poses problems for standard explanations of the problem of evil.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.

200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica, CA | Directions 9040134.011035 -118.497710
Wed 9am-2pm
Sat 8:30am-1pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, West LA
Good selection, Great Quality! – I've heard the market is even better on Wednesdays but I've only gone on Saturday mornings. All the fruit and veggies are so fresh and the farmers are very nice and allow you to take small samples. The flower vendors including the orchid vendor are fantastic. Beautiful flowers and very reasonably priced.
Smaller than expected – This farmers market is actually not on the pier but on 3rd street and Arizona. Just keep walking down the 3rd street promenade walking mall and you'll run right into it at the end of the mall. I expected it to be big according to an earlier review, but its a pretty small farmers market. Just one strip. Its a nice market, with lots of veggies, fruits, flowers, honey, soaps, milk, etc. to choose from. I only saw one stand that you can order food from, but its varied, from breakfast to burgers. I also expected it to be busy - I went at 12pm and it wasn't busy at all. I like the Hollywood Farmer's Market better on Vine and Hollywood Blvd. but Santa Monica Farmer's Market was nice.
Famous chefs and local foodies flock to California's largest--and most popular--farmers' market. – The Scene
Every Wednesday and Saturday, foodies and chefs browse through the vast selection of organic, pesticide-free produce at downtown Santa Monica's famed farmers' market. Clued-in shoppers who spot Campanile's Mark Peel or Spago's Lee Hefter shouldn't be intimidated. Friendly and knowledgeable vendors are happy to explain to cooks--novice or pro--why their Chinese eggplant is better than any found at a supermarket.
The Goods
Stands are brimming with top-grade goods; exotic greens, brightly colored veggies, gigantic fruits and fresh-cut flowers. Small-scale, quality-obsessed family farmers working the market go to great lengths to produce the purest heirloom tomatoes and the tastiest Asian pears, among numerous organic specialties. Wonderful aromas tip shoppers off to the high-quality standards. Within the first block alone, you'll likely come across the fragrant tarragon, mouthwatering peaches and vibrant sunflowers.
The best farmers market ever!!! – I've been coming to this market for 2 years now and I love it. The products are great and the variety is excellent. They DO have food vendors: from the creperie (Acadie- really delicious especially the spinach and goat cheese one) to Mexican, omelette parlor and more. Try the rockenwagner bakery for sweets or the Victorian bakery (inside the house) that opens only during market hours...They even have horse rides for kids...I'm going there, right now!! It gets really crowded go there early.
My Favorite Farmers Market – There are plenty of samples at most of the tables--you just have to ask. The summertime is amazing at this market. A lot of the top chefs around town come here for fruits, veggies and greens they can't get anywhere else. You've got to get here early in the summer or rare fruits that may only have a very short season (certain pluots, boysenberries, heirloom nectarines and tomatoes) could be gone before you start your shopping. I've been going here for four and a half years for delicious rose fingerlings, fresh bread from the Breadman, sprouted seeds, fresh eggs and goat cheese and a bevy of other foods. The prices are reasonable for what you get and beat the hell out of anything you can find at a supermarket. Farmers at this market have been written up in the L.A. Times, Gourmet and plenty of other publications.
Best Organic Greens in LA – I make a 45-minute pilgrimage to this market to find the best organic greens in LA. Be prepared for a mind-blowing selection; I found one vendor with over 40 varieties of lettuce! Generally, its hard to afford a all organic, all the time lifestylebut the prices here are incredibly reasonable. Once I started shopping here, I could never go back to supermarket quality or prices.

Since this will be my first semester, I cannot comment on the transportation really. There is a lot of construction going on around campus and that makes driving inconvenient, but I have heard the busses are very reliable so that is what I will be using. Plus I can't afford the parking passes!
I applied for financial aid, but I did not qualify due to my parents income. The process went very smoothy, though, and everyone I worked with was very helpful and nice.
Health & Safety:
I personally feel very safe on Campus.
Computer lab are always busy.
l dont have any problem.
Off-Campus Housing:
I commute every day to school.
Campus Strictness:
Very strict parking area .
Campus shuttle are very uncomfortable.
Probably they are good, but l'm too busy to go to one.
Drug Safety:
I don't use drugs,so i don't know.
Local Atmosphere:
Very nice little town with cute coffee shops and good pizza.
Guys & Girls:
All students are very respectful with each other.
Greek Life:
I don't think the Greek life affect the social atmosphere.
Greek Life:
They seem to be everywhere and they all look the same, which leads me to believe that you have to be a certain kind of person and look a certain kind of way to be able to join the Greek life.
Campus Housing:
Nice places, but the staff of dorms can be a bit more professional.
Off-Campus Dining:
The restaurants in the area are very nice.
Health & Safety:
The Bobcat Bobbie service is nice but more than once when I called they were no available which is very unprofessional and dangerous.
Every professor is different and every class is different. No one expects the impossible; the classes are very challenging but helpful and will leave you very well educated. The workload depends on the class, but it tends to be a lot.
Just from walking throughout the campus and observing the people here it is easy to see that there is the perfect amount of diversity here.
From what I hear over social networking sites and my peers, there are a lot of parties to attend, and they tend to be fun. People have a good time, although I am not speaking from first hand experience because I have never gone.
The 2375 Social Work class does require an internship which I think is very great and useful.. The classes are challenging yet very interesting and fun.
I have not taken my internship course as of yet. That will be this upcoming fall semester (2014)
Everyone has to pay for the buses, which is not totally fair if you will never use it. Although the buses are convenient and arrive on time and very quickly.
Compared to Houston where I am from, I love the weather. The school does cancel classes when the roads are icey.
Overall Experience:
I love being a bobcat and I love the resources that Texas State provides its students. It really is the perfect college.

Texas State is such a friendly, open, accepting university. It's not a super huge college, so the people aren't stuck-up or cocky like you might find at bigger universities. It's very relaxed on campus, and there's a very chill atmosphere surrounding the city of San Marcos, as well. You can feel at home at Texas State, and you'll be surprised to find how easy it is to make friends.
Texas State is superb in making sure its students are offered the opportunities they need to gain skills that will make them the most competitive in their field. Being a smaller university makes it even easier for academic advisers and professors to take the extra time to talk to students one-on-one about their future career paths. The professors and advisers are always eager to help.

in Kojima we trust!
Awesome. I'm a huge fan of open world style games. Almost getting to the point where I can't get enjoyment out of linear games anymore, so it's great that Kojima has finally caught the open world bug. Can't wait to see what he does with it.
My PS3/PS4 will be abused to the sh!thouse with this game. My most anticipated game by far!
Time-of-day should be a given these days... If they already did it in games in 2004...
I'm still concerned about multiplatform release. MGS4 had around 15GB of cutscenes alone and because of that cutscenes it was great. Nobody cares about PC but X360 could be a limiting factor here (I doubt they will make 6-8 disk game).
I wonder if the time of day effects the vision of the enemies - so reduced vision at night for example.
huhhhh bulding my own base.... are you serious.... HELL YEA i like that, it makes me feel like a real Big Boss, beside i love having my own army. Hope we still own a metal gear!
I'm liking Kojima's ideas so far
In Kojima We Trust!
Real time? Love it!
In Kojima We Trust!!!!
@shantd i agree with you partner!
@igorphoenix Well, hopefully that means shorter cutscenes. That's the part that bored and annoyed the crap out of me in "MGS4".
I don't mind good cutscenes, but they weren't good. They were overly long, not interesting half the time, and the pacing was terrible.
If it were a movie, it would've gotten a lot of criticism for things like that. So no, it's not enjoyable to watch, and especially not if you want to actually play a game when you're sitting there with a controller in your hands.I'm a patient guy, I don't just skip a cutscene within half a minute. But I even fell asleep at one time cause I was basically watching a very uninteresting and slow-paced movie.It basically should've gotten better editing, just many cuts could've been made to move it along and keep it fresh.So I really hope they decided to finally do that and that the game isn't so huge because of cutscenes indeed.
@Scorpion1813 Probably, or like guard shift changes at different times in the day? What would the point of a day/night cycle be if that wasn't the case?
@DamageIncM @igorphoenix But it wasn't a movie was it? It was a Metal Gear Solid game.

"I purchased these for my sons second birthday and they came out fabulous! Everyone loved them. Will definitely be ordering more invitations from TP in the future!"
"The turn around on this beautiful card was unbelievably quick, even with my grammatical issue their proof readers caught (thanks for that especially!). Beautiful quality. Everyone loves them. Thank you!"
"The colors on this card are bright and beautiful. The paper quality is excellent. Shipping was fast and I got my order within a few days. I have used Tiny prints in the past and I will use them in the future. They always offer high quality products that look great."
"I love the look and bright colors of this invite. The overall quality is wonderful, but what i love best is how fast it arrived. I asked for standard shipping and received the invites in the mail a full week earlier than that estimated delivery date. Thanks Tiny Prints, yet again, you are the best!"
"So cute! I decided to go with the Pearl White Shimmer, which was a great choice with so much black on the invitation, because it doesn't look flat at all. I've gotten so many compliments from our guests after they received them. Wish there were thank you cards to go along with it :("

About Me Parent Of Two Or More Children
Nice for children who are quite tall enough to use the "bigger" pools yet.
Horrible - didn't last even 2 hours!!!
By Dissapointed Parent
from Fort Wayne, IN
This was extremely hard and time consuming to set up and then my two young children (6 & 10) did not even get an hour of play time before part of it ripped. Then the slide developed a hole and was fixed but then after a few more minutes of use another hole developed. Note: The children were not rough with it and it was set on a level yard with no sharp objects. All directions were followed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Not too reliable
By Swimmer mom
from Texas
For staters one 'blow up railing' on the slide never blew up had a hole somewhere. The slide was not very slippery. Air in the pool doesn't hold up, would start loosing air within 3-4 hours. Pools been ok for the mean time, stopped using slide after first use, started using out own plastic slide.

IN THE AP-by
unanimous coneditorials,
articles, etc.,
be printed in the Ap-llshed
In the New Times or March 11,
1961, relating to boycotts of Japanese goods.
Mr. MANSFIELD. Mr. President, a
guest editorial and an editorial response
which appeared in Mel Ruder's Hungry
Horse News, at Columbia Falls, Mont.,
again highlighted the controversy over
whether a private or a public hydroelectric
power development brings the
greatest benefit to a local economY.
I have always felt that there was room
for both. There are a number of places
where private development is simply not
enough. I believe in maximum development.
Large Federal projects provide
multi-purpose benefits, whereas the outlook
of private enterprise is more limited.
These editorials point out the increased
amount of local taxes provided
by private utilities. This is true, but
there are many benefits which come as
a result of the construction of a project
such as Hungry Horse Dam. The local
authorities do not receive taxes on the
Federal property; but projects of this
sort do attract large industries such as
the Anaconda aluminum plant, which
now accounts for more than 20 percent
of Flathead County's total assessed valuation.
These large Federal projects provide
large volwnes of hydroelectric
power which attract new industries and
development. The private utility projects
are designed to meet customer needs.
The Kerr Dam, the Cabinet Gorge Dam,
and the Noxon Rapids Dam have not
attracted any new industry; in fact,
these projects would not have been feasible
if it had not been for the large
reservoir created by Hung1-y Horse Dam.
The projects owned by the Washington
Water Power Co. at Noxon and at Cabinet
Gorge, in western Montana. con-tribute
very little beyond local taxes.
The vast majority of the power generated
at those plants is exported out of
Montana, not utilized within the State.
The greatest benefit for Montana can
come only from power generated in Montana,
for use in Montana.
The private utilities have sound business
reasons for what they do; but it is
also a recognized fact that Federal
multi-purpose power projects have done
much for the development of the
State, and they can do more under an
enlightened natural-resource program.
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent
to have printed in the RECORD at the
conslusion of my remarks the two editorials
which appeared in the February
24 issue of the Hungry Horse News.
There being no objection, the editorials
were ordered to be printed in the RECORD,
as follows:
(From the Hungry Horse News. Feb. 24, 1961]
Thompson Falls a.nd Polson are in a.
squabble about hydroelectric power and we
wish there were more towns in Montana to
join In the fight.
Who has the biggest hydroelectric output
In the State? This Is the question which Is
Irking Thompson Falls because Polson letterhoods
make that claim !or Kerr Darn or the
Montana Power Co.
Thompson Falls says that the Polson claim
is outdated and is an affront because the
Washington Water Power Co.'s Noxon Rapids
Dam Is now the largest.
Both or these dams are owned by private
Industry a.nd they pay taxes not only to the
county governments and the school districts
in which they are located, but they pay income
and corporation taxes to the State and
Federal Government, and a special electrical
license tax on gross Income to the general
fund or the State of Montana.
We wish that Helena and Great Falls and
Columbia. Falls and Ennis, and other places
In Montana could get Into the squabble, !or
each bas hydroelectric power plants.
We might add another facet to the quarrel,
What would happen to the Montana State
general fund and the county and school
treasuries in a number of Montana communities
if they had privately owned. tax
paying, publicly regulated powerplants instead
of the tax-free plants they now have?
Glasgow Is struggling to accommodate its
economy to the upsurge of population connected
with the air base, and most of the
people who came to the country own nothing
and pay no taxes.
How much better of! the county would be
I! it could collect taxes on a privately onwed
powerplant at the F ort Peck Dam, Instead
of depending on Government handouts based
on the Impacted area theory.
Lewis and Clark County might be able to
reduce Its property tax rate If It could collect
on the new Canyon Ferry plant.
The same Is true or Flathead County. home
of Hungry Horse Dam. where there Is considerable
economic dis tress due to depression
In the lumber Industry.
Canyon Ferry, Hungry Horse, and Fort
Peck could add cons iderably to the State's
general fund If they paid corporation license
tax and electric energy prod uctlon tax.
Thompson Falls and Polson are to be congratulated
on their powerplants. We wish
there were more like them.

Comments about DHC Q10 Eye Cream:
This product is fabulous. I have been using it for about a week and amazed at the change, already, in my softness and appearance of my eyelids, and the entire area around my eyes. My eyelashes are even softer! This product has given me a new line of beauty through DHC!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great stuff
By Allergy Queen
from Snack Capital of the US, PA
See all my reviews
I switch off between this and Eye Bright - both great products. I have so many allergies and my skin is so sensitive but these products I can use.
Excellent product

Since using Q-10, the little wrinkles on the outside edge of my eyes have diminished noticably. I started using it during the day and them began using it both day and night. It really made a difference.
Bright Eyes

It feels great on my eyes and makes my eye make up stay fresh.
By Darlene L
from Palm Beach, Florida
I like to use it during the day underneath my makeup or with my moisterizer. At night, it gave me bags under my eyes.
I would buy this product again and again

By Yoga Mama
from Neptune City, NJ
I love this product! I've tried others easing through my 40's, yet none go on so gently and work so effectively at moisturizing this tender zone so prone to wrinkling:)
it just keeps getting better
By vonnie
from Florida
First of all.. I have fibromayalgia and many products will trigger an attack.. but NOT DHC. I have used coQ10 eye cream for over 10 years.When I heard you were changing it.I was leary to say the least and honestly scared that I'd lost my eye cream. But it actually is BETTER! and the only thing you changed was .. you added more of the good stuff !! more coQto ! THANK you so much for staying true to your natural roots !!!
So Far, So Good
By Lisa T
from Cheshire, MA
I've only been using this product for a couple of weeks, but so far, so good. Other products seem to irritate the skin under my eyes, but this one doesn't. It even soothes the skin when it's irritated by another product.
Best Eye Cream ever!
By julied
from Hudson, MA
I must have 4 different eye creams from 4 different companies in my makeup collection. No other cream compares to this one. If I have tired eyes, this fixes it. It hides the fine lines and soothes my skin each and everytime I dab it on. I'm hooked.

The newest star wars game Lethal Alliance is what I call a bad game trying to be good. This game is not for people who have just gotten a DS its for die hard star wars gamers.

The Infusion Clinic is for patients diagnosed with severe symptoms of congestive heart failure and are undergoing intravenous medication infusion therapy because their bodies have been resistant to oral medication. Infusion therapy can either be temporary, as in the case of those needing it to allow for adjustments in medication, or long-term, as in the case of those using it for end stage congestive heart failure.The goals of the Infusion Clinic are to prevent further hospitalizations due to heart failure and to improve the quality of life by reducing the symptoms of heart failure.
Infusion therapy is performed in an outpatient setting at multiple Infusion Clinic sites in Colorado. At Poudre Valley Hospital in Fort Collins, infusion therapy is administered to patients in the Heart Center Procedure Unit. Other sites include McKee Medical Center in Loveland and Sterling Regional Medical Center in Sterling.
To speak to one of the Infusion Clinic staff members, call 970.221.1000.
Infusion therapy is usually indicated by a cardiologist for four primary reasons: Temporary treatment for acute worsening of heart failure that does not respond to appropriate doses of oral medications.
Worsening heart failure that is accompanied by low blood pressure and renal failure. A bridge to heart transplantation or recovery from a myocardial infarction (heart attack). Reduction of symptoms for patient who are not candidates for heart transplantation but in whom symptoms are severe despite being on maximal oral medical therapy.
Infusions are tailored to fit each patient and are usually given one to three times per week. The duration of each infusion is typically four hours. The patient has a peripherally inserted central catheter (IV PICC) inserted into the vein of his/her arm by either IV team or the radiology department. The PICC line allows for ease of blood draws for laboratory tests and for infusion of mediations. The PICC line may be used indefinitely, and only needs to be changed if it clots or is infected.
There are several combinations of medications that may be used to help improve your symptoms caused by heart failure. Commonly used IV medications to increase the force of the heart's contractions are milrinone (Primacor) and Dobutamine. Commonly used medications to help remove fluid accumulation are nesiritide (Natrecor), furosemide (Lasix) and bumetanide (Bumex).
Your cardiologist and the mid level practitioners (NP or PA) who manage the infusion clinic will determine the appropriate medication for you.
University of Colorado Health employees dedicate themselves to providing patients and other customers with world-class care and service. Outside organizations recognize that, calling University of Colorado Health's hospitals some of the best in Colorado and even the best in the nation. Some of those accolades are listed below:

How To Find A Good Used Builder Rig
Every two to three years, we review and showcase our nominations for the Best Buys in used 4x4s. This time around we're adding a little information about each specific model in terms of favorable engines, drivetrain componentry, and available aftermarket swaps. Our intention is to point out a great deal in each category while highlighting some of the most popular and affordable build strategies possible. We know some of the prices listed may not jibe with those found in your particular region; after all, some vehicles are simply less abundant where 4x4 enthusiasts congregate. In any case, think of our list as a general guideline to what can be found, purchased, and built on a minimal budget. We hope that you find this information helpful, and as always, we welcome any feedback about our choices.
Small Pickups
The compact pickup category is probably the most popular of all, simply because of their abundant availability and excellent value. Attributes that make them exceptional builder rigs include nimble maneuverability, well balanced power-to-weight ratio, and surprisingly low cost of ownership. We like them because they fit well in rough terrain. Favored rigs in this arena typically revolve around a stout drivetrain and fuel-injected engines.
First place: 1985-'95 Toyota Pickup
Price range: $500- $3,000
Right from the very start, Toyota pickups are rock-solid machines designed to take a beating. We like the fact that they have stout boxed frames, extremely reliable rear axles, and a plethora of available aftermarket upgrades. The time-tested 22R-E four-cylinder is perhaps the most common engine supplied in these vehicles, but it hardly makes enough power to take serious. An improved version known as the 22R-TE was equipped with a small turbocharger, which improved power a bit, but these are scarce due to a very limited production run. In '88 the Toyota pickup got an optional 3VZE 3.0L V-6 that made decent power (150 hp) for stock applications, however, when laden with a whole assortment of aftermarket products, the V-6 left a lot to be desired. The most popular conversion we've seen for these rigs is offered by Advance Adapters, which allows installation of a Chevy V-8 in place of the four-cylinder. This kit comes with a bellhousing adapter, slave cylinder, pressure plate and clutch, a new flywheel, a starter, engine mounts, and a radiator for the low price of just $1,750. As for drivetrain upgrades, the Toyota aftermarket is practically drenched with options for just about every combination of transmission and transfer case offered. Very affordable low-range gearsets and even dual transfer case arrangements can be found through Advance Adapters, Marlin Crawler, Trail Gear, and Inchworm Gear. The dropout-style 8.8-inch axles found under these trucks were equipped with heavy-duty axle shafts in rear applications, but featured a less desirable Birfield joint up front. Longfield Super Axles offers the ultimate CV joint upgrade to help enthusiasts bombproof the front 8.8 axle.
Runner up: 1993-'97 Ford Ranger
Price range: $1,500 to $4,200
Among the go-fast crowd, the Ford Ranger is the truck to have because of its free-moving Twin Traction Beam (TTB) front suspension. The '97 model was the last year Ford offered this arrangement. Of the three engines offered, the one to look for is the 4.0L OHV V-6, making 160 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque. Other benefits of this platform are a Dana 35 front differential with Dana 44-style outers and a 28-spline Ford 8.8-inch axle out back, typically with 3.73:1 gearing. Unfortunately, there is a weak point worth mentioning on this vintage Ranger; the A4LD automatic trans is passable, but the M5OD manual is marginal at best. Or better yet, Advance Adapters offers a kit that permits installation of the TH 700R4 automatic, but only behind the 4.0L engine.
Fullsize Pickups
In the fullsize pickup arena, we look for a proven track record with enthusiast groups. This ensures that any problems encountered during ownership have already been addressed by the aftermarket. As abundant as fullsize pickups are, buyer beware: not all pickups are created equal.
First place: 1988-2002 Chevy C/K-Series pickup
Price range: $1,500 to $4,000
For the money, you simply can't beat a Chevrolet CK-series built between 1991 and 2002. They were available with several different power plants, the best of which include the 210 hp 5.7L small-block V-8, a 230 hp 7.4L fuel-injected big-block, and a rare version offered exclusively on the C3500HDs built from '00 to '02 with an 8.1L Vortec V-8. The C/K-series trucks came with a whole assortment of different axle configurations, some of which should be avoided altogether. Look for trucks with the tried-and-true 14-bolt rear axle, or even better, the Dana 80 found under the back of 3500s. The front drive system is the weakest part of this particular platform. Comprised of IFS that utilizes weak CV-style drive axles, this vintage of Chevy pickup can benefit greatly from a solid front axle swap. Kits to do such a conversion are available through Off Road Unlimited and retail for just under $700 plus the cost of the axle. The most common transmission you will find under these trucks is the 4L80E automatic, which should provide years of dependable service if maintained properly. The 700R4 is more common in the pre-'91 trucks and features a favorable 3.059:1 first gear ratio. Common trouble spots to watch for are: The '91-'94 trucks with the 6.5L diesel engines are known to develop transmission shudder. Some '96 models may exhibit engine noise because the exhaust valves on models equipped with the 4.3L, 5.0L, or 5.7L engines may not get enough lubrication. Usually, this condition is accompanied by excess oil consumption because the valveguide seals on the exhaust valves are bad and need to be replaced.
Runner up: 1994-2002 Dodge Ram 2500/3500 diesel
Price range: $2,500 to $12,000
Much of what we look for in a used pickup comes down to power gains per dollar spent in the aftermarket. In the case of a Dodge Ram, equipped with the 12-valve--or better yet, the 24-valve--Cummins turbodiesel engine, you won't find a better value in terms of bolt-on performance. On the '94-'98 12-valve version, you can perform a simple $250 fuel stop plate modification from Diesel Performance that will net upwards of 150 hp and 70-plus lb-ft of torque. Similar power gains can be found on the '99-'02 24-valve Cummins trucks by performing minor bolt-on modifications. Despite weak fuel lift pumps and a somewhat sensitive VP44 injection pump, you can expect impressive results by simply adding a "fueling box." Keep in mind that exhaust gas temperature should be monitored closely after making such modifications. The wimpy A618 and 47RE automatic transmissions will likely grenade quickly if left unmodified, but nowadays there are tons of upgrades to fortify them for the long haul. These pickups came with the stout Dana 60 up front, either a Dana 70 or 80 out back, and many were equipped with the coveted NV4500 manual transmission. The 2002 is arguably the best year because it came with rear disc brakes and a cylinder head that featured hardened valve seats. The most problematic drivability issue on these trucks is related to the front axle track-bar mount. A reliable solution to this problem is offered by Solid Steel Industries, which updates the design to that found under the newer 2003-`08 Ram pickups.

Preface (tl;dr)
I started jCryption in 2009 as a jQuery plugin for encrypting form data in javascript mainly because there was no plugin doing exactly that. The idea sending encrypted data from the client to the server was kind of nice so I started the project. The first version was very slow, worked only with PHP and used many self written security libraries _no good idea_! ;)
But the plugin worked and had surprisingly many downloads. So I continued the project and updated jCryption over the years.
The next version of jCryption was much faster and used besides RSA for the key exchange now AES for the encryption which is the main reason it become faster.
But there was still this issue using self written PHP libraries to overcome all requeriemtns I wanted it to have.
The day has come finally I am getting what I always waited for ... jCryption is now fully compatible with OpenSSL using two rock solid javascript libraries CryptoJS 3.1 and JSEncrypt and with that became server technology independent. So lets get started ...
So here are a few examples to show exactly what jCryption does and does not!
What do you have to do
Easy on the client ... some work on the server.
You can find a sample PHP implementation in the repo.
Include jQuery 1.6.1+ and jCryption 3.0
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.jcryption.3.0.js"></script>
And than call jCryption on your form
$(function() {
thats it ... move on to the server ...
Generate public and private key with OpenSSL (also described here)
Keep in mind, you only have to generate the public and private key once
:~$ openssl genrsa -out rsa_1024_priv.pem 1024
:~$ openssl rsa -pubout -in rsa_1024_priv.pem -out rsa_1024_pub.pem
If you want it more secure ... it also works with a 2048 or 4096 Bit key
Next are the OpenSSL calls you need on the server to work in sync with the client.
But before that ... here is a general description what exactly happends.
How does this work
- client requests RSA public key from server
- client encrypts a randomly generated key with the RSA public key
- server decrypts key with the RSA private key and stores it in the session
- server encrypts the decrypted key with AES and sends it back to the client
- client decrypts it with AES, if the key matches the client is in sync with the server and is ready to go
- everything else is encrypted using AES
You can find the complete documentation of OpenSSL here for AES and here for RSA.
Decrypting the key the client sent with RSA.
base64 encoded key
unencrypted key from client
:~$ openssl rsautl -decrypt -inkey rsa_1024_priv.pem
Send the client a challenge to solve. Encrypt the sent key with encrypted key and send it back to the client.
unencrypted key from client
encrypted key sent to the client
:~$ openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:'key' -a -e
The server has to decrypt the data sent from the client with AES to work with the data.
encrypted data from client
unencrypted data
:~$ openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pass pass:'key' -d

Astrorobotic rover aims to visit Apollo 11 site after 40 years
Interior motors help reduce the chance of damage in lunar conditions
Article Summary
Forty years after Apollo 11 touched down on the moon, plans are afoot to revisit the site to see how the remains have stood up to four decades of radiation and micrometeorite bombardment. One vehicle that may well be used for this expedition is the third prototype lunar robot from Lunar X Prize entrant Astrobotic. The rover is one tough nut - it's designed to survive the blistering heat of the lunar 'noontime extreme', which sees temperatures reach 270 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as the minus 240 degree Fahrenheit temperatures of the lunar night.

• do not have access to other resources.
• use money and materials sparingly and wisely.
• who make the kind of movies that we don't see enough of...
Films we don't see enough of:
• Intelligent political films: whether documentaries or fiction, drama or comedy, experimental or animation, we see a dearth of thoughtful, well-researched, well-reasoned movies that actively seek to change our world for the better.
• Films where women and people of color are directing, producing and writing—sharing and shaping their unique point of view.
• (These are NOT requirements, just qualities we value. We fund many films that do not fall into those categories, from comedies to experimental films, films with big budgets and small, films by all types of people. If it's moving pictures by our alums, and it's going to be great, we want to support it.)
Crucial elements:
• We need to be convinced that you will make this film as it as presented and in a timely fashion. If you can provide a production schedule and convincing reasons as to why you will adhere to it, that's great.
• We often fund specific line items in your budget, so the more specific you can be, the better.
• We will fund any element of pre-production, production or post-production.
• We are more likely to fund films for which this grant will have a large impact. That is, we are more likely to fund $3,000 of a $3,000 total budget than $3,000 of a $30,000 total budget. (Though we will provide funds for bigger budget films, too.)
• We are more likely to fund films where there is thought to how the film will be used in the world in coordination with a community engagement campaign and/or ongoing efforts for social justice.
• We are also more likely to fund films that make the most of their resources and community. For instance, we are more likely to fund the salary of a DP who is donating use of his own 16mm camera than we are likely to fund the rental of a 16mm camera from a corporate rental house. We are also more likely to fund the purchase or fabrication of materials that you will be able to use again, instead of a one-time rental.
Please read our FAQ and ADVICE section. All filmmakers are encouraged to email Rooftop Artistic Director Mark Elijah Rosenberg at filmfund [at] rooftopfilms [dot] com with a draft of their application for advice, or call 718-417-7362. When asking for advice, please focus on specific questions. We can only really advise how to make your application more clear, or offer personal non-binding advice on the filmmaking. The advice we most often give is to descibe what we will see on screen more clearly. Due to time constraints, we can only provide one round of notes, and cannot guarantee feedback in the final week before the deadline, but simple questions are welcome any time.
Selection Process:
The grants will be decided by a panel made up of Rooftop Films staff, founders and invited panelists, including staff from the Adrienne Shelly Foundation and DCTV. There may be things we would want to see changed in the proposed project, or we may want to participate in the production in order to provide funding. If you are not comfortable with our suggestions, there will be an opportunity to tell us if a second round comes into play. There will likely be follow-up questions, but no formal second round of applications.
How to Apply:
Download the application and the budget form for the Rooftop Filmmakers' Fund Short Film Grants. The application for male and female filmmakers is the same. Female filmmakers will be automatically eligible for both grants. The application asks for the following information:
• Your name and contact information.
• A description of the film you want to make.
• A production plan.
• A budget. (Use our form or your own.)
• What you want from us.
• A few lines about yourself.
Returning the Application:
1. If you plan on applying, please email filmfund [at] rooftopfilms [dot] com to RSVP, so we know how many applications we might be expecting and we can keep an eye out for your application. Let us know in the email if you are applying for a short film or a feature length film.
2. When you have completed the application, upload the form, budget, and any additional materials to a Google Drive folder.
2.1. If you do not already have Google Drive, it is a simple to use and free application. Visit www.drive.google.com to set up an account for yourself. If you have problems doing so, email at filmfund [at] rooftopfilms [dot] com.
3. Title the folder in the following format: FF13 Short / Feature – First Name Last Name.
3.1. Use "Short" if your film is less than 50 minutes and you are applying for a short film grant; use "Feature" if your film is over 50 minutes and you are applying for a feature film grant.
3.2. If you are applying with more than one film, make separate folders for each film, and add a number and the title of the film at the end. Ex: "FF13 Feature - Mark Rosenberg 1 Rooftop History" ... "FF13 Feature - Mark Rosenberg 2 Behind The Scenes at Rooftop."
4. Share the folder with rooftopfilmfund [at] gmail [dot] com. [Please note that this address is ONLY for uploads. DO NOT email that address for correspondence.]
4.1. To share the folder, in drive.google.com, simply right click on the folder and click "Share"
4.2. In the "Add People" field, type: rooftopfilmfund [at] gmail [dot] com
4.3. Leave the default settings for "Can edit" and "Notify people via email."
5. Changes made to the folder after the deadline (July 9, 2013) will not be seen by the Rooftop panel.
6. Be sure to keep the folder online until after the grant notifications are made (end of September, 2013).
7. You are also welcome and encouraged to send footage, rough cuts, fine cuts, etc. in any format. Online links are preferred (password protection is acceptable), or files placed in Google Drive. Alternately, you can send 1 DVD to:
Rooftop Films
Attn: Filmmakers' Fund
PMB 401 / 285 5th Ave
Brooklyn, NY 11215
Applications must be received by 11:59pm on July 9, 2013.
Applicants notified: no later than September 16, 2013.
Payments / Reporting:
If you are awarded a grant, you will be expected to file one simple progress report and one simple completion report, which we will send to you at the appropriate times. You will need to sign a grant contract before receiving support. You can read a full copy of the contract here. The key provisions are:
• The filmmaker must produce the film as outlined, to the best of their ability.
• The filmmaker must produce the film within 18 months of the grant award.
• Funds and services will not allocated immediately, but for specific services as needed.
• The filmmaker must allow Rooftop Films the right to screen the film within 12 months of the official world premiere, before theatrical or TV release and preferably before any New York screenings.

The Ottoman model and its critique
Feb 25, 2011 06:09 AM »
The "Ottoman model" stands out as a new framework of political organization as the regimes in the Middle East are being challenged one by one. Today, I will look at the Ottoman model from a critical point of view.
The Ottoman history is our heritage. And we cannot renounce this heritage. History does not repeat itself; it is rights or wrongs that repeat themselves. It is impossible to repeat the Ottoman case, but it is possible to repeat its rights or wrongs. In a world with changing objects and historical and political parameters, the Ottoman case alone cannot be taken as a reference for a new union. With its administrative and legal structure, the Ottoman Empire was admirable, of course. But it did not have a good intellectual reserve. Just as the Roman Empire consumed Greek thought, the Ottoman Empire exhausted what the Umayyads, the Abbasids and the Seljuks philosophized. The Ottoman Empire exaggerated the separation between the religion and the world, and removed philosophy and natural sciences from the curricula of madrasas, but this led only to the drying out of thought and meditation. If we are seeking for a model for revival in reflection, learning and sciences, only the Abbasids can serve as such a model. The Abbasids did not feel admiration toward anyone and borrowed the sciences and philosophy from the Greeks and other ancient cultures, and they left literature, arts, poetry and drama to their real owners.
The coming battles for hegemony will be fought in the Middle East, Eurasia and the Far East, where the Ottoman Empire did not have much experience. Instead of spreading and establishing a global hegemony, Europe's reflexive tendency will be to maintain its existing borders and attempting to protect its existing welfare. Europe attaches some value to Turkey only because it has a certain strategic importance, and because of the pressures from the US to do so and the likelihood of Turkey's establishing an alliance with the Muslim world. The EU's view of Turkey is purely instrumental and strategic. Therefore, we have to turn our eyes along with the world toward the East.
Epistemologically, the Muslim world is going through a deep crisis, and there must be a concrete historical experience to which we can refer, and it is the Abbasid model. Second, in designing a new Muslim union, the Seljuk model is more functional than the Ottoman model.
The Seljuk Empire was geographically monolithic: It spread from Afghanistan to Konya, from Iran to Egypt, and from Baku to Bilad-i Sham -- modern Syria, Jordan, Palestine, and Lebanon. Compared to the Ottoman model, the Abbasid/Seljuk model offers much more authentic and more comprehensive cultural grounds that are more applicable to the current conjuncture developments. The parameters that must be underlined here are related to how we see the world:
(1) As the world is being reshaped again, the interests of individual nation-states, as well as the strategies centered on ethnic groups or regions, are outdated. A new regional integration model should be designed by taking into consideration the interests of Muslim populations -- states and regions, ethnic groups and sects -- as well as non-Muslim populations. (2) With the bankruptcy of Arab nationalism, the Arabs can only exist together with Turkey and Iran. However, Arabs, Turks and Iranians cannot build a regional integration framework based on, Sunnism, secularism and Shiism respectively.(3) Turkey and Iran cannot have initiatives in the Middle East, Eurasia or the Far East either by "clashing" with each other as they did until the Kasr-ı Şirin treaty of 1639 or by "freezing the relations" as they did after the treaty was signed. The only possible way for them is to act together. (4) As was the case with the Ottomans, we cannot be disconnected from Asian Muslims, nor from the Caucasus, Azerbaijan, and the Turkic republics. We must reinforce our relations with these regions and in doing so we must "cooperate" with Iran instead of "compete" with it. Historically, when Iran and Russia severed ties with the Ottoman Empire, this put an end to the Samarkand- and Herat-centered Muslim Asian Renaissance. Therefore, cooperation with Iran is a must for Turkey to be able to resist Russian and Chinese pressures and overcome any obstacles in its efforts to establish relations with the Turkic republics. (5) After the nation-state phase, we are now entering the period of regional integration. Kurds are a natural part of this integration. They cannot exist in a buffer zone or by being excluded from the region. 6) Africa and the Balkans as well as Indonesia and Malaysia should be connected to the main body like two big wings of the big integration so that they can give it to strong spiritual and material push. 7) How will we address the world? Using which values? This is the ideal of the "ummah" that is beneficial to the entire humanity and its concrete expression is the set of rights, high moral life, freedoms and justice.

Plan Your The Bay Area Vacation
It's rare for a metropolis to compete with its suburbs for visitors, but the view from any of San Francisco's hilltops shows that the Bay Area's temptations extend far beyond the city limits. To the north is Marin County, the beauty queen, with small but chic villages like Tiburon and Mill Valley, plus dramatic coastal scenery. East of town are two energetic urban centers, Berkeley and Oakland. Formerly radical Berkeley is getting more glam, while Oakland is shaking off its image as San Francisco's ugly stepsister and developing its own brand of hipness.

Itoman is really not a nice place to stay. But if you focus on the hostel: the staff is nice, helpful, but: small rooms (I stayed in the dormitory), dusty place, the beds are really uncomfortable (metal bars butchering your back) and you have the aircon, which is nice, but... There are no doors to the dormitory room! So the aircon is useless...

The beds were a little hard ( futon mat and lighter blanket/ mat on a wood frame) but everything was clean and well taken care of. The manager is really nice and helpful and brought us out to an onsen one night. I would go back there in a heartbeat!
