- Natural Theology is the study of what can be known about God apart from [special] revelation. It tries to show that certain truths about God (e.g., that God exists, that there is only one God, that He is Good) are demonstrable by reason. In a sense, the things even belonging to Natural Theology are contain in Scripture issofar as Scripture speaks of many things which could be discovered by humans without God revealing them.
- For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.
Indeed, things such as "love", "goodness", "fairness", "justice" and even "life" itself must have originated from something always existing (which as previously mentioned, in theological terms is identified as God's aseity). All these attributes we can rationally identify as having a source, which we believe is God. Since the beginning of the world, people have always been able to know God exists because God is clearly seen behind what is made. Indeed, the Psalmist sings (Psalm 19:1-4),
- 1The heavens are telling of the glory of God;
And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
2Day to day pours forth speech,
And night to night reveals knowledge.
3There is no speech, nor are there words;
Their voice is not heard.
4Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their utterances to the end of the world.
Take the explicit mention of the rainbow being a sign of God's promise to humanity, to not wipe us out. I'll talk more on this later, but the "rainbow", while most theologians (both YEC and OEC) believe it existed prior to any flood, the rainbow was intended to be a sign of God's covenant with humanity, a sign that God would work with us regardless, and ultimately redeem us from our helplessness against sin and death.
Keep in mind the conclusion of my last post (part 2), that while physical death is had, such symbolises the spiritual truth that our being separated from the Source of Life (God) results in a true everlasting death -- this is what I call the Natural Theology of death. Like the rainbow is a natural revelation of God's covenant with sinful humanity, so too physical death is a natural revelation of our very real and possible separation from God, who is the Source of all life.
To reiterate this important point, physical death is another "symbol" we find in our world that is built upon the real and very important spiritual truth that our turning away from God results is our being separated from the Source of Life and a more complete death. Indeed, this death is described in Scripture as an everlasting death, it is one wherein God entirely withdraws Himself from us. What is left of such a person in such a state, I don't really know. If anything is left, being conscious in such a state I imagine it'd be absolute hell, quite literally Hell. Words in Scripture describe in many unique and even contrary ways what being in such a place is like, conveying its horribleness. Indeed, I see such a place is logically necessary if one rejects God who is the source of life, or if God cannot accept a person due to their unresolved sin and enmity against Him. Besides complete annihilation, what else is logically possible, if one rejects the Source of Life?
As a side issue, I personally believe that a person's heart can respond to God even if they've not heard about Christ. That such people, can come to Christ in unique ways. God sees a person's heart, sees them responding to His natural revelation, and so reveals Himself more specially, perhaps in dreams or the like. While rare, I consider such to be possible, and we even hear of such things happening on occasion. BUT, the question to anyone reading this, you've got more than a natural revelation, you've heard about Christ and so the question is very different and one of whether or not you believe personally in this Christ? If you're unsure about what that means, then God's given you a mind to find out more but your hearts will reveal whether or not you can be bothered moving in such a direction. I pray that if you're reading this and you're someone where God, let alone Christ, just doesn't arise in your life as having any significance or importance -- I pray that one day you'll respond differently to God's calling out to you and continual attempts to draw you to Himself, that you'll eventually stop ignoring such and writing it all down to coincidence, see God and acknowledge Him. Audie, Kenny, Ed and others, IceMobster to a somewhat lesser degree, I'm talking about people like you.
So then, I see that God gets the complete picture of the person, each human being, each of us, through our lives lived here, whether we even ponder His existence. Many in this world choose to be like Sisyphus, pointlessly rolling the boulder up the hill, to watch it roll back down, and repeating this over and over again (work, eat, drink, work, eat, drink, sleep *repeat until death*), all the while shaking fists at "the gods" who they believe don't exist—such just gives some all the more motivation to keep going in their lives which will ultimately be meaningless when they, their children and children's children, and eventually the whole world along with them, expire into nothing.
Is it any wonder that Scripture says those of us who see and know God, who trust in Christ through whom we are made right with God,
- Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; 21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
We understand, through looking at what has been created, that our world is temporary, it was intentionally made that way. One might here ask, "Why was our world made temporary?"
As before with the question, "Why does death exist in our world?", one could respond that our world was made temporary as a consequence of sin in world, human sin. Unlike previously though, a temporary world, or a world that is winding down, while a consequent of sin it isn't necessarily also a punishment for sin. Rather we can see how God creating our world to be temporary forms a part of His redemptive plan for humanity to enter into His eternal kingdom, right? This temporary world allows us to come to many decisions, develop ourselves, sin against God, deliberately turn way one or the other, and hopefully return back to Him to be raised into life everlasting into God's eternal kingdom.
So then, God purposefully designed us and gave us mortal bodies to live out our days within a temporary physical world. The intention being that we would be sown with our physical weaknesses in Him, and raised in strength into an eternal life and kingdom that won't pass away. Whether or not God replaces the current world that is perishing with some immaterial kingdom called "Heaven", or whether another physical world, a paradise will be restored as some believe wherein wolves live peacefully with lambs, leopards and lions lying down alongside young goats and calves, etc, I'm not so much concerned. As I've become fond of saying, my Lord and master is on the other side, so while I don't not exactly what awaits me hereafter, He is there and that's all that matters to me.
What I am concerned to illustrate here, is that it was God's intention to design our world to pass away, in order for us to be redeemable and sown into imperishable bodies in His everlasting kingdom wherein Christ reigns forever and ever.
The Apostle Paul is clear of much of this in 1 Corinthians 15:
- 35But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?" 36You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; 37and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. 39All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. 40There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. 41There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory.
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised an imperishable body; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. 47The first man is from the earth, earthy; the second man is from heaven. 48As is the earthy, so also are those who are earthy; and as is the heavenly, so also are those who are heavenly. 49Just as we have borne the image of the earthy, we will also bear the image of the heavenly.
The Mystery of Resurrection
50Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.51Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, 52in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory. 55"O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY? O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?" 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law; 57but thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Take a simple example of the female mantis who devours the males after copulating—oh, how I wonder how Darwin missed the spiritual meaning behind this archetype. He was puzzled about how God could design such a thing, asked the question rhetorically without thinking an answer existed about why would God design such a thing? How many great men have fallen due to beauty of women and whether due to their own stupidity or perhaps being seduced, have fallen due to their lust? Yes, I believe even simple things like this that we observe in nature, that such represent many spiritual truths open to all to see, even those who may not believe in God. Consider Buddhists too look to the natural world for spiritual meaning, as do a great number of poets or lyricists who may or may not be religious. Poetry and songs often provide many spiritual truths using allegory and real examples found in our natural world that convey and reveal true immaterial truths that we can relate to.
So then, I'll end this by reasoning for "death" in our world, indeed our world which is very temporary, was intentionally designed to represent spiritual truths and played an important role, as the Apostle Paul reasoned in 1 Cor 15, in our eternal redemption. That said, if Adam had not sinned, then God would never have designed physical death as the consequent to sin, there would have been no reason for such. Death is indeed therefore a consequent to human sin.
Now the central question between YECs and OECs is obviously this:
- Given physical death is a symbol of the spiritual truth that turning away from the Source of Life results in an everlasting death, did God create such in his wisdom and foreknowledge as part of the original pre-Fallen world (like say the rainbow which existed prior to any flood but was equally used to symbolise spiritual truths), or was death created as a consequence and the world allowed to deteriorate at the time of Adam's sin?
To be clear, the question I'll look to deal with in my next post in this:
- 1) Did God install death as part of the natural world in the beginning in response to sin, and death then came upon humanity as punishment -- physical death representing the spiritual truth of what "death" actually is, chiefly separation from God (i.e., the Source of Life); or
2) Did God install death as part of the natural world after humanity sinned due to sin -- nonetheless physical death is an example of the spiritual truth of what "death" actually is, chiefly separation from God (i.e., the Source of Life).

Garmin is one of the more reputable companies out there, and they have been in the business of making quality devices for the longest time possible.
There are many great fishfinders out there for fish finders are some of the most in demand marine products out there. It was one of the first fish finders I had the good fortune to encounter, and it was just as good.
This device taught me so much about fishing that I cannot begin to explain. It has been a faithful companion through thick and thin. In reviewing it, I am talking from the deepest part of my heart.
There have been other fishfinders from Garmin, many that claim to have more advanced features but my affinity for this one product of theirs prevents me from devoting my loyalty to any other brand.
Below I will get into the Features of this awesome device. It is important that these features be studied diligently and at the very least thoroughly understood. They will help a buyer understand better the device before buying it.
Table of Content
Underwater Viewing Technology
There is a technology incorporated into this device called downvue which makes the viewing of underwater places much easier. Underwater viewing is not strictly speaking the job of a sonar reader.
The sonar reader deals only in sound. The new Garmin, however, utilizes a different sort of technology to make underwater viewing a possibility. And then it goes a step further and combines downvue with the traditional sonar for perfect images that include sound.
HD- ID Technology
This is a usual feature in all Garmin devices. When sonar readings are relayed it most of the time is difficult to tell whether the relayed readings are fish or maybe just other marine features.
The chances of success while fishing is highly improved when the device can be able to accurately point out fish. This is the purpose of this technology as it makes the identification of fish easier.
Temperature And Speed Sensors
The transducer can sense the temperature of water. Water temperature is an important factor when determining the speed of sound underwater. The temperature will affect the speed of sound in significant ways. And this impacts on the accuracy of readings obtained.
Speed sensors are also added to the transducer. The speed determined is the speed of the moving fishing vessel and through these readings accuracy of the targets underwater is determined.
Upgrade Possibilities
This Garmin device can handle upgrades. Transducers are the primary working part in all marine devices such as this one. There are many different kinds of transducers other than the one provided on the fishfinder.
This fishfinder can accommodate different types of transducers which perhaps have different properties from the transducer provided on the fishfinder. This enables the device to be used for different purposes, and this makes it
Good Display
The display on this device is a classic TFT monitor. It comes with 256 display colors, more than enough for clear pictures. With downvue underwater viewing is made possible.
Having all these features displayed clearly on a TFT screen is the thing that makes this device a true winner. Screen resolution is 320 by 240 pixels, another plus that makes visibility even better.
- The detachable transducer, able to be replaced by a stronger transducer.
- The transducer has temperature and speed sensors.
- HD-ID Technology Enables easier fish detection.
- Easy underwater viewing due to the downvue technology.
- Fantastic display with 256 colors.
- The detachable mount is made of cheap plastic.
Frequently Asked Questions
Final Verdict
The 301dv is undoubtedly an industry leader. It comes with a variety of characteristics for added functionality. All details provided proof the superiority of this device over others.
Any fisherman worth his salt will do well to have this device as one of his main devices. I got mine and have never regretted it, and I would proudly recommend it.

Aperto Opening June 4 in NarberthJune 2nd, 2011
As reported in April, Clark Gilbert and Gemelli have packed up in Narberth, looking towards a summer opening in Manayunk. In the meantime, former Sola boss John Wolferth has been preparing Aperto, which will open on June 4th in the same space. The moderately-priced menu features items such as Seared Salmon with Ginger-Carrot Miso, Fingerling Potato & Wilted Greens ($22) and Braised Veal Cheeks with Mushroom Ragu, Cauliflower Puree & Ricotta Gnocci ($24)
In addition, Aperto's website promises to soon offer wine pairing suggestions based on current PLCB Chairman's Selections and other commonly available shelf wines. (What a great idea — almost makes up for the awful flash-based design!)

Dined with very particular partner last night and totally enjoyed our meal. Cornmeal coated fried oyster appetizer was a melt in your mouth treat. Florida grouper fish dish had a fresh caught, beautifully seasoned flavor. Sauteed chicken was moist and presented over a medley of fresh vegetables into a tasty sauce. Expresso mousse desert was light in texture and flavorful. Definitely will return to try other dishes, particularly the seafood pasta and short ribs.
I see a lot of whining about the website and no mention of the food. We thoroughly enjoyed John's specials for the last two months of Gemelli as he took over from Clark, and were waiting to see his vision for the restaurant. We had our first meal there last night and it was wonderful! A delicate farm salad with the contrast between the crunch of the greens, sweetness of the beets, creamy goat cheese and a burst of flavor from smoked panchetta. The Lobster and Crab was rich, but not too rich, and the Salmon was excellent. We were regulars at Gemelli and will be at Aperto.
I really think it's a moot point about the website. John Wolferth may be a nice guy, but he is a less than talented chef. No restaurant has worked in that space for years. The best chance we had was with Clark Gilbert. He lasted a little more than a year and a half in Narberth. I hate to see any business not survive, but I've eaten John's food at La Parisienne, The Wooden Iron and Sola. All those restaurants have gone the way of the dodo bird (with the exception of Sola under the direction of a different chef/owner for 6 years now). I'm not hopeful for Aperto. The website is the least of their problems.
Why would you come at John and Aperto for a website? I'm pretty sure that a restaurant thrives on its service, food and the experience it offers. Come on.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
W. Kamau Bell went down in history for telling the first-ever Obama joke on Comedy Central, way back in 2005. At the time, Obama was best known for his rousing speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention. He was definitely a looker on the US Senate, but his presidential ambitions were vague at best. Bell announced that there would never be a black president named Barack Obama. ("Black Osama? Ummmm ummmm," Bell jeered, imitating an incredulous Red State voter.) Bell kept the bit in his repertoire for another year and a half. Then he decided he was hurting Obama's chances.
It was the comedian's first brush with topical humor, which now constitutes the bulk of his new one-man show, The W. Kamau Bell Curve: Ending Racism in About an Hour. Kamau launched the show in 2007 as a response to a recent spate of celebrity racism (the Michael Richards and Don Imus meltdowns, Sarah Silverman's entire oeuvre, and Rosie O'Donnell's "ching-chong Chinese" comment, among others). The show consisted largely of personal anecdotes about his family, his childhood, and his adventures being black in a not-so-black Bay Area arts scene. In the two years since its inception, the Bell Curve did a 180-degree turn. Now it's light on personal testimonials, heavier on celebrity skewering, and towing a more difficult political line: Bell's challenging the quiet hypocrisy of our "post-racial" society. He used to sling mud at N-word-sayers, Middle Americans, and other easy targets; now he's goosing the left as well.
Yet the Bell Curve changes from week to week. To keep his humor up to the minute, Bell constantly revises his show, making sure to include all the day's biggest news stories and give them his own slant. Thus, most of his bits get a very brief window of opportunity before they become irrelevant. "If Sotomayor is on the Supreme Court and the guy who is grilling her is the renowned racist, I gotta put that in the show," Bell explained. "If Henry Louis Gates is breaking into his own apartment, I'd feel like a lunatic if I didn't include that." He keeps an autobiographical thread and a running gag about his marriage to a white woman ("Some people would say that's hypocritical. I would say to those people — maybe"). He's gotten a lot more tech-savvy since 2007, and now includes video clips as well as a photographic montage. And, now that the Obama joke has become one of his biggest claims to fame, he always uses it as an opener. Hey, Bell said, most of us aren't perfect: "Martin Luther King didn't open on 'I was wrong' — he had to be resolute every moment of his life. But I'm a comedian. We do things differently."
The W. Kamau Bell Curve runs Thursday through Saturday, July 30 through August 1, at La Peña Cultural Center (3105 Shattuck Ave., Berkeley). Bring a friend of a different race and get a 2-for-1 discount. 8 p.m., $15-$20. LaPena.org

Women across the world are contributing to social, economic, cultural and political achievement and on today's International Women's Day (IWD), we're celebrating the growing role of women leaders and continuing to push for gender equality.
This year's IWD campaign theme is #PledgeForParity where everyone – men and women – can join together to help close the gender gap. We're all leaders in our own sphere with the ability to influence change. To do so, IWD offers these examples:
- Help women and girls achieve their ambitions
- Call for gender-balanced leadership
- Respect and value difference
- Develop more inclusive and flexible cultures
- Root out workplace bias
Days like today are extremely important to the diversity movement. A more diverse workforce reflects the current changing demographics in the U.S and a switch to a plurality nation where no single racial or ethnic group will constitute a majority.
As communities continue to become more diverse, it is critical that the agencies supporting these communities reflect that same diversity so they can be engaged and responsive to their needs and concerns. Bringing together workers from different backgrounds and experiences builds a more creative, innovative, and productive workforce. As I discussed in an earlier blog post, diversity has tangible benefits to public sector organizations such as a better ability to stay in touch with the citizens they serve and attracting and retaining top talent.
The CIA is actively working to increase its diversity with a new "Diversity and Inclusion Strategy." It is a three-point, three-year effort that focuses on weaving diversity and inclusion throughout the talent cycle, increasing the hiring and retention of people with disabilities and growing diversity of leadership.
Last year at the fifth annual New York State Minority and Women Business Enterprises (MWBEs) forum, New York City Mayor David Dinkins spoke about the benefits of diversity in the public and private sectors. He discussed the importance of contracting with businesses led by women and minorities and the state's goal of hiring these businesses for 30 percent of state contracts. Xerox chairman and CEO Ursula Burns was also part of the forum discussing diversity and its ability to make companies stronger.
Xerox knows the benefits of diversity first hand and has been nurturing a culture of inclusion and opportunity since the 1960s when the company's founder Joseph C. Wilson first committed Xerox to a policy of diversity. This commitment received national attention when Xerox's "Wilson Rule" diversity policy was recognized at last year's White House Demo Day. The Wilson Rule will help drive diverse representation at all levels of management throughout Xerox and require that women and minorities be among the final pool of qualified candidates for every open management position in the U.S.
In addition to company and agency policies, new research also shows that having employees recruit for open positions can lead to a more diverse workplace. According to the research, even though employees tend to refer job seekers who are their same gender and race, what matters are referral rates. For example, immigrant groups sometimes go from being small minorities in a workplace to big majorities because their members recruit more actively within their community networks.
A diverse environment empowers employees to work collectively to bring different perspectives and new ideas that overcome challenges and meet customer and constituent needs. Examples of effective diversity programs and policies can provide a roadmap to those seeking these benefits and representation reflective of the population.
It's not something that can be changed overnight but participating in #PledgeForParity and advocating for pervasive inclusion will not only help build strong agencies but also strengthen the communities they support.

With the hectic end-of-year pace, MBS Direct wants to make it as simple as possible for you and your students to have a great buyback.

I love all the pops of colors! And that's so nice to you split your earnings with your husband...they probably DO deserve something for what they put up with for us! ;-)ReplyDelete
You got a lot of great items this month. I give my husband my gift card that I win from blog giveaways.ReplyDelete
Great stuff. I love all of your skirts, shoes and shorts you got this month. I need to be mailed some ankle-strap shoes cause it seems I have left all mine in US. And I want a pair of THOSE Converse sneakers.ReplyDelete
Hope you got my E-Mail.
P.S. Love your signature at the bottom of the post. =) Enjoy the weekend Laura!!
Hands down, that floral skirt is my favorite thing you got this month - I can see it being a great piece that you can wear for a long time and in so many ways!! :)ReplyDelete
Oh wow you added some really fun and colorful pieces this month! I recently met my shopstyle $100 mark but haven't received the payout yet, hmm.ReplyDelete
That's an accomplishment! Yay! I am pretty sure payouts are done on a cycle and they go out the 20th of the following month you meet the $100 mark.ReplyDelete
Well done! I love that you split with your husband...so sweet! (I just hit $100 on Shopstyle too- FINALLY!) Good call to take out money for taxes though- I didn't consider that. What does your husband plan to treat himself to?ReplyDelete
Yeah I don't know how taxes work when you making money from blogging so I figured I would put some aside just in case. And my husband put in an order for Banana Republic today! :)ReplyDelete
Nice finds. The prices are amazing and everything looks great.ReplyDelete
Bah, this reminds me that I need to cash out at some point. I think I haven't because I don't want to deal with the taxes. Anyway. I have had my eye on those sandals from Target, but have been waiting for a price drop. Lucky you for getting them at a cheaper price! Can't wait to see how you style all your new items!ReplyDelete
So many great finds! I particularly love that floral skirt!ReplyDelete
I hope that your husband finds something nice! And I love that first skirt-it is so pretty:)ReplyDelete
xo Olivia
This is my favorite round up of yours, I think...I mean they're always great! I am really loving your thrifted finds, lucky month for you! I'm glad you took the plunge on glittering the sandals! Now that we're back from vacation, I'm going to do mine too!ReplyDelete
I am sure he will! And thank you! It was such a great thrifting find!ReplyDelete
I just started doing ShopStyle and I think I've made about 4 dollars, so it's going to be awhile before I hit $100. I'm not sure it's even worth the time to find links, but I'm going to try it for awhile. Oh and hey, thanks for the shoutout! Goals are for breaking, I guess!ReplyDelete
Yeah I make money pretty slowly, but I figured if I am going to do links, I might as well make roughly $0.20 a day for them! ;)ReplyDelete
True. I always try to click on the links to help my friends out!ReplyDelete
congrats on finally reaching the cash out limit! I think it's so sweet that you share the money with your husband. the boys do help us with our blogs so they should be rewarded. my boyfriend helps me out now with pictures, and I got a visa giftcard for a post I had to do a while ago and so I used that to go towards our plane tickets to seattle so that we both benefit from the time he is willing to put in towards my little hobby :)ReplyDelete
Well since he can't fit into any clothes I receive, I figured it was the least I could do! ;)ReplyDelete

Three US soldiers have been killed as Iraqi and US troops moved into Baghdad to tackle increasing sectarian violence in the capital.
The US military said on Wednesday: "Three soldiers assigned to 1st Brigade, 1st Armored Division died from enemy action while operating in Al-Anbar province today."
A US Blackhawk helicopter also crashed in Anbar, leaving two US soldiers missing and four injured.
The crash did not appear to be due to hostile fire and the army is continuing to search for the missing soldiers, the American military said.
Al-Anbar has been the scene of the fiercest attacks by anti-US fighters.
Civilians killed
The crash comes as the US attempts to regain full control of the Iraqi capital and quash an accelerating cycle of revenge killings by members of Iraq's rival Sunni and Shia Muslim sects.
In the last few weeks 12,000 additional US soldiers have been re-deployed into Baghdad from north-western Iraq.
Five civilians died and 20 were hurt when a mortar shell exploded in a built-up district of Baquba, a mixed Sunni and Shia town north of Baghdad.
The attack collapsed a three-storey building near to a Shia mosque, police said. Witnesses feared some people were still trapped in the rubble.
Police said a bomb targeting a US patrol in east Baghdad had killed one civilian and injured another, while in Basra an Iraqi army colonel was shot dead on his way to work, the army said.
Two separate roadside bombs in Kirkuk also killed one civilian, wounded another and hurt three Iraqi soldiers.
Rising violence
The latest US attempt to restore government control over the Iraqi capital comes amid new evidence of rising and increasingly brutal violence.
In July almost 2,000 bodies were brought to Baghdad's morgue, an official there said on Wednesday.
Even Iraq's mosques have become targets for militants
This is the highest number since early spring when a Sunni attack on a Shia shrine in the city of Samarra in February sparked a wave of sectarian bloodshed. The July toll of 1,815 was an increase from 1,595 in June.
Dr Abdul Razzaq al-Obaidi,the assistant manager of the Baghdad morgue, said that about 90% of the deaths were due to sectarian violence.
He said: "Most of the cases have gunshot wounds to the head. Some of them were strangled and others were beaten to death with clubs."
The rising daily death toll has put new pressure on the American military to restore law and order to Baghdad.
Major-general James Thurman, commander of US-led forces in the Baghdad region, said: "We must dramatically reduce the level of violence in Baghdad that is fuelling sectarianism.
"Iraqi and US forces will help the citizens of Baghdad by reducing the violence that has plagued this city since the Samarra bombing."
The US military also said it had arrested four Iraqi men in connection with the kidnapping of American journalist Jill Carroll, who was freed in March after 82 days in captivity.
Major-general William Caldwell said the four, who were not identified, were arrested in Anbar province west of Baghdad but he did not say when.
He said that Carroll, who worked for the Christian Science Monitor newspaper, was held 13km west of Fallujah.

Storage System
Storage cabinets which are made of AISI 304 stainless steel and which are easy to clean. The storage cabinets have two stainless steel doors which can be opened at 225° and which are lockable. The cabinets can be equipped with solid shelves which can be mounted on a fixed height or they can be height adjustable. Alternatively, the cabinets can be equipped with stainless steel slides to accomodate sterilization baskets. The slides can be made of u-profiles on which baskets with flanged top wires can be placed. The advantage of these u-profiles is that baskets can be drawn out partly without falling out. This is easy if goods only have to be taken out or placed into the basket without taking the complete basket out of the cabinet. Instead of u-profiles it is also possible to equip the slides with L-profiles to accomodate baskets without flanged top wires or containers. The cabinet is placed on a 100mm high plinth.
Pass-through hatches which have been designed for placement between the packing area and sterile area at the CSSD. The hatches are mounted between two walls. The transfer hatches are completely made of AISI 304 stainless steel with exception of the windows which are made of Lexan glass. The units can exist of one window or two windows. In case of two windows, they are interlocked in such a way that only one window can be opened at one time. The units can be operated either manually or electrically by means of a push button on both sides of the unit. The complete hatches will be supplied with stainless steel covers and are equipped with a force protection in order to prevent dangerous situations from happening when closing the windows while materials have been placed underneath. Instead of closed panels the understructure of the hatches can also consist of a closed cabinet. The pass-through hatches are completely manufactured upon client specific requirements.

Esports Videos Attract Billions of Views (and Lots of Brand Opportunities)
By Bree Brouwer · May 30, 2018
Once upon a time, I wanted to be a video game journalist. But not just any video game journalist — I wanted to write about esports. My husband and his friends were obsessed with watching League of Legends live stream tournaments, and every time we hosted a party, my gamer heart knew esports was going somewhere. The problem was most media companies didn't agree with me. Anytime I'd pitch a publication about the growth of esports, the polite but firm rejections somehow always boasted clear undertones of "you're kidding, right?"
No, I wasn't kidding, and the stats prove it, like those in the 2018: An Esports Snapshot report from TV[R]EV. Esports isn't just some little sub-genre of the gaming industry; it's definitely and unarguably its own beast. When I dug into Tubular's exclusive data, I discovered videos tagged with "esports" over the last year have pulled in an astounding 650 million total views. Here's what else TV[R]EV's report and Tubular's data had to tell me about the popularity of esports, and why it's important for brands to sit up and pay attention (if they aren't already).
Esports Is Big… And Is Only Getting Bigger
If 650 million total views in the last year wasn't crazy enough of a number to show the staggering growth of this corner of the gaming industry, consider these other stats about esports videos from Tubular's software:
- To date, more than 1000 creators with the tag "esports" in their title have uploaded about 393K videos which have generated 4.9 billion views on YouTube, 1.1 billion on Facebook, 65.6 million on Instagram, and 9.7 million on Twitch.
- Videos uploaded since January 2018 and tagged "esports" in their titles or descriptions have generated a total of almost 1.3 billion views at the time of this writing.
- The average 30-day engagement rate (ER30) of esports-related videos on YouTube land at an incredibly high 3x (2x higher than the baseline average).
- The most-watched clip out of all esports videos since January 2018 highlights an AR-based esports tournament and pulled in 18.5 million views and 505K engagements to date.
In addition to our data, other platforms and outlets have reported similarly-impressive info:
- Twitch has said viewers tuned into its platform to watch 355 billion minutes of live streams in 2017.
- VentureBeat reported more than 173,000 fans attended Intel's Extreme Masters esports event for the ESL Championships, covering Counter Strike: Global Offensive, League of Legends, and StarCraft II; not only is this now the biggest esports event to date, but it's also 73K higher than the average attendance of an international Formula One motor racing event.
- The ESL Championships also boasted a live viewership of 2.2 million concurrent streamers.
Still not convinced esports is a big deal? It's probably time to change your tune towards this form of entertainment. Gaming and mobile market intelligence company Newzoo estimates the esports industry alone will grow to $905.6 billion by the start of 2019, which is a 38% year-over-year growth! Basically, you really need to care about esports because you're missing out on huge branded and sponsorship opportunities. Not only are audiences fully on board with these games emotionally (as we'll see in the next section), but some brands have already tapped into this frenzy with great success.
Both Audiences and Advertisers Are Esports Fanatics
Back in April, I wrote about the skyrocketing popularity of the Epic Games title Fortnite and how millions of people tune in to watch live streams and recorded content for this title. As an example of these numbers, I noted one live stream of the game by Spanish YouTuber ElRubiusOMG saw 1.1 million concurrent viewers. That's half the number of live viewers the ESL Championships pulled in! Clearly, audiences around the world are more than eager to watch esports and live gaming events.
But it's not that they're just eager to watch esports videos and content; they're ready to engage with it and even feel it, too. TV[R]EV's report pulled emotional response data from the emotion measurement company Canvs as it related to the top five esports videos on YouTube (according to Tubular data). The most-used words to describe these videos included "crazy," "love," "funny," "hate," and "enjoy." Most of these words have a positive bent, but above all, they're very passionate ways to describe how audiences feel when they watch esports — that is, they're highly engaged.
Some astute advertisers have noticed viewer's obsession with and passion for esports, and have latched onto this opportunity full-steam with campaigns surrounding not just popular gaming titles, but also well-loved digital celebrities. The Esports Snapshot report from TV[R]EV noted how gaming YouTubers such as MatPat, ElRubiusOMG, and Ian Hecox of Smosh Games are viewed by many brands as perfect partnership opportunities due to their highly-engaged audiences. The report also revealed that linear TV ad spend on Turner and IMG's premium esports tournament and content brand ELEAGUE generated 350 million impressions since January 2017.
Tubular's software provides a little more insight into the value of sponsored deals in terms of esports videos. For starters, in this year alone, the esports organization HellRaisers partnered with Counter Strike: Global Offensive for a sponsored post which generated a whopping 4.8x ER30. In terms of views, Acer's gaming hardware brand Predator Gaming scored big with its partnership with Red Bull Esports; several sponsored episodes of Red Bull's behind-the-scenes-style "Esports Unfold" series have generated millions of views each, with the top clip about the Dota 2 team OG pulling in 2.2 million views since January.
Strategy Ideas for Brands Ready to Join the Esports Game
By now, it should be very clear the massive opportunity brands have to invest in esports content and its passionate horde of followers. For most gaming and technology brands, seeking out partnerships should be fairly easy, as these industries are all very closely tied to each other. But what are the next steps in terms of branded video strategy, especially if your company doesn't relate to technology or gaming at all? Don't worry — you still have plenty of options.
Here are just a few ways different types of industries could partner with creators to generate high-performing esports videos:
Food and beverages: Food brands don't have to just sponsor a gamer whose audience is the same target audience they're trying to reach. These companies could get even more involved and see if partners are willing to eat their snacks or drinks during a stream, or maybe even give them away as a contest to engaged viewers.
Financial and insurance: Gaming hardware, consoles, and accessories aren't cheap, a fact professional esports gamers know from firsthand experience. Some could even be willing to partner with an upbeat, forward-thinking financial/insurance company which wants to reach gaming millennials and inform them of options which could protect their equipment and homes.
Travel and leisure: While some might see gaming as the equivalent of leisure, the two industries operate differently. This can be used to the travel industry's advantage, though; hotels and resorts, for example, could promote their lightning-fast internet connections for gamers-on-the-go, while airlines could partner with creators and influencers who use them frequently or even exclusively when traveling to tournaments.
Non-profits and public service companies: These types of brands have plenty of opportunities to partner with esports leagues or gamers who have hearts of gold. A creator could, for example, partner with a non-profit to donate a certain amount of money to its cause based on viewership milestones on live content. And an electric company has plenty of incentive to work with esports influencers, since that company's power allows those gamers to keep doing what they do best.
The opportunities certainly don't end there for brands in all types of industries. Using some creativity, well-defined goals, and solid partnerships, companies around the world can get involved with the esports industry and capitalize on all its sponsorship opportunities. Will your brand be the next one I write about as an esports video journalist?

Bought a Single Family home in 2018 in Lower Matecumbe Key, FL.
David recently helped my husband and I purchase a home in Islamorada, FL and the experience was nothing but positive! The entire process went smoothly from start to finish. From the moment we met David he was professional and so easy to talk to. We looked at 15 houses in one day and David was patient and didn't rush us. He negotiated effectively to keep us within our budget. David always answered his phone when we called him and responded to emails very quickly. His office staff was equally organized, knowledgeable and responsive when dealing with them as well. David was a pleasure to work with and we'd highly recommend him to our friends and family!
Highly likely to recommend
Sold a Single Family Home
David was the perfect realtor for me! Knowledgeable because he loves and lives in the Keys, a strong family man that is sensitive to family needs, and just a genuine honest guy who cares! Sound too good to be true? No, he's real! When the mortgage broker delayed settlement David was in daily contact and kept me up to date.
Highly likely to recommend
Bought a Condo home in 2018 in Upper Matecumbe Key, FL.
David and his office did a fabulous job helping my wife and I purchasing our retirement home! We spent a week looking throughout all of the Keys. Each day we saw multiple properties in our parameters and he helped us narrow it down to the property we purchased. David was able to fulfill our needs through the entire progress. Not being local, he and his office were (and still are!) a valuable resource for the two of us.

Bought a Condo home in 2018 in Upper Matecumbe Key, FL.
David spent an entire week with us exploring the Keys from Key West to Key Largo. He was prepared each day with new listings to show us. He is experienced enough to help us understand our own needs and narrow the scope of our search so our time wasn't wasted looking at properties that weren't appropriate. Not once did we feel that he was impatient or exasperated with the amount of time we asked him to spend with us. And once we found the perfect property he was reachable and attentive from contract until closing. He is definitely a "full service" broker and runs an office that reflects this same attitude.
David, Jo, the staff, Tiki and Reef ..... only office we would consider after this experience.
Highly likely to recommend
Bought a Single Family home in 2018 in Marathon, FL.
We recently purchased a home in Marathon, Florida, and had the pleasure of working with David Grego, of Island Breeze Realty.
We felt David's help went so above and beyond the normal expectations for everything involved in purchasing a vacation home.
Since the majority of the transactions involved in us meeting all of the requirements for closing, were done from another state....we were especially appreciative of David's knowledge of every aspect involved...and that he was always available for our phone calls or emails. Whether they involved routine questions about the closing requirements...or the helpful advice concerning our questions about local utilities, or businesses providing services such as housekeeping or tree trimming.
We will definitely recommend David to our family and our friends.

This kit is designed to replace the Firestone 2520.
Ride-Rite air helper springs are the workhorse of Firestone's air helper spring line. The double convoluted air springs offer maximum load capacity as well as years of worry-free service and support.
Ride-Rite air helper springs are installed between the frame of your vehicle and the suspension, providing load support by using air pressure.
Firestones air springs have become synonymous with quality, durability, and customer support that is second to none. Ride-Rite air bag kits utilize a pair of convoluted air springs which can be adjusted to accommodate your load capacity. The Ride-Rite series is capable of 3,200 - 5,000 lbs. of load level capacity. After installed, your ride will be enhanced by reducing inter-leaf friction which will keep your truck level, reduce suspension fatigue, and increase the stability of your Ford vehicle.
Overall, Ride-Rite air bags have many advantages for your vehicle and will help to improve steering control and braking effectiveness, level headlight beams, reduce tire wear, keep leaf springs from permanent sagging, reduce bottoming out with air cushions between the axle and frame, absorb road shock, and match your vehicles load for an overall improved ride.
The Firestone air bag kit came complete with all the required parts and instructions. It took a little bit of time and work, but with a little help from my son, we were able to get the bags put on in about a half a day. I did not get the on board compressor, but fill them manually when I need them. I am very happy with them. They definitely perform well and keep my F-250 from squatting when pulling a tongue heavy trailer and have loads on the pickup bed at the same time. I would surely recommend them to a friend.
The air bags work great and better than expected. Installation was easy. It has completely eliminated any amount of sag while pulling my 5th wheel camper. I will install then on any truck I own in the future.
This is my second set of this air bags I have bought in the last 8 years. The mounting clamps and brackets on this set are different seem more flimsy. The instructions are not quite as clear but if you take your time you can figure it out. The instructions for my 2013 Ford F250 said "The emergency brake cable will have to be tie-wrapped out of the way using the hole provided in the upper bracket. See Figure "A"". Well there was a little more to get this accomplished. But I can say once I had them installed the springs performed just as I expected them to. I haul a cab over camper and pull a 21 ft. boat. Adding the springs adds stability and reduces roll and sway. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to level their truck while increasing control when hauling heavy loads which do not exceed the weight limits of their vehicle. If the instructions were better and the mounting bracket clamps thicker I would have given them 5 stars.
installed great,all possible problems addressed , truck handles 18k gvw fith wheel fine

JURORS have been chosen in the trial of a man accused of murdering 22-year-old backpacker Grace Millane in New Zealand.
Arguments in the five-week trial are due to begin on Wednesday in the Auckland court.
The name of the 27-year-old defendant is being kept secret for now by court order.
Ms Millane's body was discovered in a forest a week after she was last seen in Auckland city centre last December. The Wickford woman was travelling in New Zealand as part of a planned year-long trip abroad.
Her death struck a deep chord in the country, which prides itself on welcoming tourists and where many young people take gap years themselves to travel abroad.
There was also an outpouring of grief from the Wickford and wider Essex community.
Hundreds of people throughout the country attended candlelit vigils after her death.
The country's prime minister Jacinda Ardern summed up the mood at the time in an emotional news conference. "There is this overwhelming sense of hurt and shame that this has happened in our country," Ms Ardern said.
Ms Millane had been in New Zealand for less than two weeks when she went missing.
She had been staying at a backpacker hostel in Auckland and had left some of her belongings there. She was last seen alive on the evening of December 1 and did not contact her family the next day, her 22nd birthday, causing them concern.
Her father, David Millane, said last year that before she went missing, his daughter had loved her time in New Zealand judging by the number of pictures and messages she had sent.
He said in a statement: "We all hope that what has happened to Grace will not deter even one person from venturing out into the world and discovering their own overseas experience."
New Zealand's judicial system sometimes suppresses the names of people facing charges on the basis that they will not be able to get fair trials if they are named.

Cornerback was already a position of need for the Lions heading into this offseason, even before they lost starter Eric Wright in free agency. So many Lions fans were disappointed when the team didn't address the position in the first round of the NFL draft, and downright baffled when the Lions didn't take a corner in the second round, either.
But Lions coach Jim Schwartz says he's got this.
Detroit drafted cornerbacks in the third, fifth and sixth rounds, so they know they have quantity at the position. And Schwartz says the Lions know they have quality at the position, too.
"I don't know that I've ever really gone in saying, 'You want to have good competition,'" Schwartz told the Detroit Free Press. "What you really want is you want to have good players. If you have enough good players, you'll have competition, but I don't know we're really looking to say, 'We're trying to have competition.' We're trying to have good players, and I think we have a couple there."
Chris Houston, who started 13 games at cornerback for the Lions last season and led the team with five interceptions, will be one of the starters at cornerback, and Schwartz will have to hope that one of the rookies (Dwight Bentley, Chris Greenwood or Jonte Green) will be ready to start as well. The Lions' cornerbacks didn't inspire much confidence at the end of last season, and the Lions' offseason moves haven't inspired much confidence at the position, either — except from Schwartz.

Funding for Student Conferences and Events
The College has limited funding available to support graduate student scholarly initiatives including major conferences, symposia, or workshops on the UM campus. Strong preference will be given to events that will provide opportunities for a wide variety of LSA and UM student involvement as participants or observers. Support is normally restricted to events that have a LSA faculty or administrative sponsor. Contributions from all participating units are expected.
Requests should include:
- budget justification
- proposal narrative, including an explanation of the event's intended outcomes and identification of the target audience
- current and pending support
Process for applying for funding (eGIF)
eGIF is the portal through which you must apply for funding. By doing so, your request will be routed to several other funding sources on campus.
Notes about using eGIF
The online form will ask you for "collaborators." For this question, please enter a faculty member who is working with you on the event. This could be the graduate chair or other faculty member who has endorsed this event at the departmental level. If not a faculty member, please indicate an administrator who is knowledgeable about your plans and can provide the department's approval or endorsement of the event.

HostGator Coupon for 2012
If you are not happy with your current web hosting company this is a good time to make a switch. First of all because traffic levels are low (i.e., people are in vacation), so getting some downtime wouldn't hurt your website that much. Second because many hosting companies are releasing new 2012 coupons and discounts.
Over the coming weeks I am planning to post a couple of posts explaining the two easiest ways to move WordPress sites around different hosts/servers (one for small blogs, and one for large ones).
Before the transfer phase, though, you need to figure out what hosting company you'll use, though, and I recommend that you take a look at HostGator. I host most of my websites with them, and the hosting quality is the best you'll find in the market.
In fact a couple of months ago I asked DBT readers what web host they used, and almost 80% of them said HostGator, most saying they really liked the service.
There's also a way for you to test drive their hosting plan practically for free. You can use the coupon dailyblogtips2012 to get $10 off your first order, which means your first month will be free. After that you have 30 days to test everything, and if the service doesn't live up to your expectations you'll just need to cancel your account without spending any extra money. I am pretty sure you'll decide to stay though.
Stay tuned for the posts explaining how to move WordPress sites around.

Hi. I signed up for your newsletter today and then was told to hit "this link". I hit it but it won't do anything, so I'm just checking to see if you got my request. Thank you.

It was a time many people just cannot forget.
"Fire, smoke, heat, yeah, disaster," said Regina Ware, a victim of the fire. "We were desperate to get out of here. And then the shock coming back to see the devastation that has been left behind."
"We left when we figured there was no hope in doing anything to save our house," said fire survivor Jane Fontana.
"We really reflect on what we do and the ultimate price we may have to pay for doing what our job demands of us," said L.A. County Fire Captain Drew Smith.
The Station Fire was one of the most demanding of all. It was the largest recorded in Los Angeles County. A congressional investigation is under way to determine what was behind a critical judgment call: No aerial attack was ordered for six hours on the second day of the fire as it escalated.
"We aren't just people who are bellowing out because we need someone to blame," said Fontana. "In this case there is someone to blame."
Eighty families lost homes, including Ware's.
"The house was right over there and so the only thing you really saw was burned refrigerator, burned pipes," said Ware.
The equestrian center where she worked was spared, but two miles up the canyon it is a landscape of mostly ruins.
Many people have left the region for good. The U.S. Forest Service will not let them rebuild. Others struggle with building permits tied up in red tape.
But what Jane Fontana regrets most is a human cost.
"I think the biggest and saddest thing is with the two firefighters that died," said Fontana. "I think that they didn't have to die."
Captain Smith worked with Captain Ted Hall and Specialist Arnie Quinones.
"It's tough because you have those reflections of what it was like and what it's like now and it's different when you have a loss that impacts you so much," said Smith.
The reminders are everywhere in Big Tujunga Canyon. It remains closed to the public because of ongoing hazards, including flash floods.
In a statement Kathy Hall, Ted Hall's widow, said: "It gives us comfort to deal with our loss getting through the birthdays, holidays and anniversaries knowing that Ted would do anything to protect and keep the men working at Camp 16 safe."

American Iron & Steel Inst. v. EPA
ELR Citation: 6 ELR 20068
Nos. No. 74-1640, 526 F.2d 1027/8 ERC 1321/(3d Cir., 11/07/1975)
The Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency has the authority to promulgate single number effluent limitations for existing point sources under §301 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972. In inferring the existence of such authority from the statutory structure, the language of §§301, 302, 304, 316, 401, 505, and 509, and the legislative history, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals reaches a conclusion contrary to the Eighth Circuit's ruling in CPC International v. Train, 5 ELR 20392. Unlike the court in CPC, the Third Circuit reads the whole of §402 as requiring compliance by NPDES permit-issuing authorities both with §301 effluent limitations and with any guidelines promulgated by the Administrator under §304. The Administrator's interpretation of his power to promulgate limitations under §301 is more reasonable than petitioners' view, and should be given appropriate deference. In addition, the Administrator has a statutory obligation to promulgate effluent guidelines under §304 to provide guidance to the permit granting authorities who will determine the precise degree of effluent control required of any individual point source. According to Judge Hunter, the Administrator's functions under §§301 and 304 correlate in the following manner: the §301(b) single number effluent limitations prescribe the minimum amount of discharge control (base level), or conversely, the maximum amount of effluent discharge (ceiling) that is permissible for a particular point source category nationwide; the §304 guidelines provide precise guidance to permit-issuing authorities for establishing a permissible level of discharge within a given range that is more stringent than the outer limits set by the §301 limitations. The Administrator's regulations relating to the Iron and Steel Manufacturing Point Source Category fail to constitute valid guidelines under §304 since they specify neither the factors to be taken into account in determining the control measures to be applied to individual point sources nor permissible ranges of limitation below the ceiling. The regulations are thus remanded for both promulgation of guidelines and reconsideration of the effluent limitations in light of the court's delineation of the base level and ceiling concepts. As additional grounds for remanding, the court finds that the Administrator did not adequately consider either the problem of plant age as it pertained to the cost and feasibility of retrofitting existing plants, or the costs of effluent control in the secondary phase (1983 and beyond) of cleanup under the FWPCA. On remand, the Administrator is also directed to revise the regulations so as to allow a credit for pollutants already present in a plant's intake water. The court rules that the Administrator did not err in equating the "best available demonstrated control technology" levels for new sources with the "best available technology economically achievable" levels for existing sources, but finds that the new source flow rate standards for the categories of byproduct coke, sintering and basic oxygen furnace must be reconsidered since it is questionable whether the technology required to meet them has been demonstrated.
In a concurring opinion, Judge Adams contends that the Administrator's failure to consider thoroughly the costs of pollution abatement for the 1977 "best practicable control technology" guidelines for existing point sources presents an additional ground for remand.

SB 383 – Employment Practices Law Revision (2011-2012)
Link to Bill:http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=129_SB_383
SB 383 revises Ohio's laws concerning discrimination and harassment in employment, particularly in adding new limits on the options for filing an employment discrimination complaint or lawsuit and the remedies that can be awarded in successful cases.
Primary Sponsors:Sen. Coley (R)
Secondary Sponsors:Sen. Hite (R), Sen. Jordan (R), Sen. Seitz (R)
Committee:Insurance / Commerce / Labor (S)
LSC Legislation Status:http://lsc.state.oh.us/coderev/sen129.nsf/Senate+Bill+Number/0383?OpenDocument
Jurisdiction/Legislation Level:State
Our take on this bill:
SB 383 strongly curtails the legal protections against employment discrimination that Ohioans enjoy today. Among its provisions are sections that do the following:
- Drastically reduce the time for filing discrimination and harassment lawsuits
- Largely exempt managers and supervisors from being sued individually for illegal discrimination and harassmentent
- Restrict employees seeking relief from discrimination or harassment to choose between the Ohio Civil Rights Commission and the courts
- Create unusually low caps for amounts that can be awarded in successful cases
- Cut off access to many of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission's findings from completed investigations, unless their findings are in the favor of the employee
These changes amount to increased barriers for employees who find themselves victims of discrimination and harassment, and lower risk for employers who do not follow the law.

Use the crock pot to cook up a hearty and nutritious Slow Cooker Black Bean with hidden veggies and lots of kid-friendly flavor. Once you add the ingredients to the slow cooker, you can let dinner cook while you go off and have fun with the kids.
Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup
When making soups for kids, I tend to err on the more simple side of things since so many kids don't love foods all mixed together. This Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup, which has veggies blended right into the base and yet still has detectable black beans for kids who like beans and some texture, is a good option. It's nutritious, easy to make, and makes enough for the family plus (maybe!) some leftovers.
Ingredients in Black Bean Soup
To make this crock pot bean soup you'll need:
- Black beans
- Sweet potato
- Onion
- Canned diced tomatoes
- Cumin
- Salt
- Chili powder
- Vegetable or chicken stock
- Cooked rice
What kind of black beans are best for this recipe?
You can use canned black beans or beans that you've cooked from dry. I like to do big batches of Slow Cooker Black Beans since we use them so often and this is a more affordable way to prepare a pile of them at once!
How to Make Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup Step-by-Step
Here's a look at the easy process involved in making this recipe.
1. Set aside 1 cup beans. Add the remaining beans to the slow cooker along with the veggies and spices. Cook on low.
2. Puree soup. Stir in the reserved beans and the rice. Let sit, covered, to thicken.
3. Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Serve with salsa, cheese, and/or sour cream.
What can I try if my toddler doesn't like soup?
Well, first know that this is a common issue! Soup can be hard for kids to eat and not very appealing (for other reasons I cannot figure out because, toddlers!). I like to suggest offering something for the kids to dip into their soup and starting with a very small serving if you're not sure if your child will be a fan. This soup has a thick texture so it stays on the spoon relatively easily and it's flavorful without being spicy.
What can I serve with this Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup?
I like to serve this kind of soup with Baked Tortilla Chips since I can control the amount of salt. Let them get a little brown and let cool completely on the baking sheet to ensure they are crispy (rather than tough). Or try whole grain crackers or Corn Muffins.
P.S. The soup above is shown with the Honey Heroes Organic Cookies. They are made with whole grains and flax, they have a little protein, and they don't contain nuts (so they are good for school lunches).L is currently obsessed with them and likes to say that the ones with pigtails are her—especially since yesterday was superhero day at her school!
How long will leftovers of this soup last?
You can store leftover soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-5 days. Warm to reheat and serve.
I'd love to hear what your family thinks of this recipe if you try it out, so please comment below!Print
Slow Cooker Black Bean Soup
- Prep Time: 10
- Cook Time: 7-8 hours on LOW
- Total Time: 7 hours 10 minutes
- Yield: 8-10 1x
- Category: Dinner
- Method: Slow Cooker
- Cuisine: Mexican
The addition of grains helps to thicken the soup to a nice consistency for little eaters, so don't be worried if it's pretty thin before you add them in before serving.
- 6 cups black beans, drained and rinsed if using canned
- 2 cups diced sweet potato
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes or 1–14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with juices
- 1 medium onion, diced (about 1 cup)
- 3 teaspoons cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 5 cups vegetable or chicken stock
- 2 cups short grain rice (brown or white), fully cooked
- Set aside 1 cup beans. Add the remaining 5 cups to the slow cooker along with the sweet potato, tomatoes, onion, cumin, salt, chili powder, and stock. Cook on LOW for 7-8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours.
- Puree soup with an immersion blender or a regular blender, working carefully in batches. Stir in the reserved 1 cup beans and the rice. Let sit, covered, for at least 10 minutes before serving so the rice can thicken the soup.
- Season to taste with additional salt if needed. Serve with salsa, cheese, and/or sour cream.
This recipe makes a lot, but it stores really well so you can enjoy it as leftovers the next day or put half into the freezer and pull it out when you need it.

We could – and surely should – improve the UK situation!
If bystanders – ordinary people like you and me – get on and do CPR they can DOUBLE the chances of survival.
Some studies have found that early bystander CPR can even increase survival rates FOUR fold.
Then, try Lifesaver. This is a live-action movie that you play like a game. It shows you how to save someone's life in four action-packed scenarios – including a brand new teen-focused scenario. It throws you into the heart of the action as you make crucial decisions and learn essential life-saving skills.
In really short summary, CPR is about Call Push Rescue.
Most defibrillators 'talk' to you to tell you what to do when you open them up. If your one doesnt 'talk', there will always be easy instructions inside ALL defibrillator boxes.
After CALL, its PUSH and RESCUE.
Even if you've not been to a formal training session, you can learn how to PUSH from YouTube. Vinnie Jones has made a video with a 'CPR lesson you'll never forget'.
But the CPR on the video below is even better. Mini Vinnie demonstrates that hands-only CPR is – literally – childsplay:
To remind you exactly what to do for hands-only CPR, and to check that you are pushing hard enough and fast enough, you can get the free British Heart Foundation Pocket CPR app here.
But if you really want to try doing CPR, the nearest you're going to get to real life without it actually happening is the crisis simulator live action movie game Life-saver.
Practicing what to do in this live action movie game means you'll be much better able to help if you ever witness a cardiac arrest in real life.
Try it out here (you'll need to have Flashplayer). It takes a few moments for the game to load up: please wait while the circle whizzes round to reach 100. Then you have to Click that you have read and accepted the terms of the Lifesaver website. You don't have to put your details in unless you want to (you can get a certificate!). But you must press 'Enter'. Look down to click on 'Menu'. Choose a name and press Start Now.
This simulator is very like real life. Pay attention! You're about to try to restart a heart! Although this video game is very realistic then, unlike in real life, you can always try again. Especially if you're as old as me and don't immediately understand all the fine details of video gaming!
Please let me know how it went! I'm at firstname.lastname@example.com
