I'm maintaining an index of my responses here.
Today's Chapter - 1: The Scope of Challenges - Part 2: Complexity
I opened up the book today, and my first question was, "Gee, I wonder how many sentences I'll make it before, I go off on a tear?" The answer was 2.
Darwin and the Eye
In On the Origin of Species, he [Darwin] wrote, "The eye to this day gives me a cold shudder."I was fully expecting the "evolution of the eye is absurd" quote mine, but fortunately for Simmons, he didn't make that mistake... although he did mess up fairly badly here.
First, and probably the lesser point, it was in a private letter, not in his On the Origin of Species publication, at least, according to Creationscience.com
Secondly, here's a more full quote: "The eye to this day gives me a cold shudder, but when I think of the fine known gradations, my reason tells me I ought to conquer the cold shudder" - which is more a question about one's intuitive assessment versus what evidence and reason indicate.
It's funny, because Creationscience.com then immediately uses the quote mine I was mentioning before:
To suppose that the eye with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree. Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species, p. 175.Yes, he said that. Now, here's the immediate next sentences (emphasis mine) (Reference: page 171).
... I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree. Yet reason tells me, that if numerous gradations from a perfect and complex eye to one very imperfect and simple, each grade being useful to its possessor, can be shown to exist; if further, the eye does vary ever so slightly, and the variations be inherited, which is certainly the case; and if any variation or modification in the organ be ever useful to an animal under changing conditions of life, then the difficulty of believing that a perfect and complex eye could be formed by natural selection, though insuperable by our imagination, can hardly be considered real. How a nerve comes to be sensitive to light, hardly concerns us more than how life itself first originated; but I may remark that several facts make me suspect that any sensitive nerve may be rendered sensitive to light, and likewise to those coarser vibrations of the air which produce sound.Basically, he's saying that the evidence shows that his intuitive doubts are wrong (which is normal in science), like he was in the previous quote.
It's ironic that I should use a source to disprove one bald-faced shameless liar, only to find they immediately become bald-faced shameless liars themselves.
... not that it matters. Darwin could fully recant his theory, and modern evolutionary theory would be unaffected, because whether he made it all up, or not, modern science has confirmed the he was basically right.
Alright, moving past sentence 2 in this section...
The Eye and Machines - Perceiving DesignThe next part of this one paragraph starts talking about the eye in comparison to machines.
Imagine walking past the fanciest Ferrari ever made and assuming that only evolution was responsible for its existence.Why would I do that? The Ferrari doesn't reproduce. It doesn't have genetics that can vary upon reproduction. Why would I apply evolutionary theory to an object that has no prerequisite mechanisms that would be needed to evolve? It'd be like asking me to assume that Ferraris only exist because giant Ferrari flowers were pollinated by bees.
If the Ferrari did have DNA and the capacity to reproduce, guess what? The prospect would be much more feasible. A better question would be, "Would evolution produce something like a Ferrari?", and the answer would be a resounding "not likely", mostly because it's massive categorical error. So why would I apply evolution to one if evolutionary theory wouldn't produce something like that in the first place?
Walruses are staggeringly more complex than Ferraris. If I was asked to imagine walking past the fanciest Walrus ever, assuming that only evolution was responsible for its existence, my response would have been "I don't have to assume. That's what the evidence shows." Many fundamental differences exist between cars and organisms. Organisms have cells that reproduce and have DNA. Cars don't. Cars are typically made of refined metal or plastic. Organisms aren't. Organisms occur naturally. Cars don't.
The categorical error is truly daunting, and it renders the argument psychotically unintelligible.
To thoroughly beat a dead horse, I can come up with my own disproof of evolution:
Assume for a moment that the planet Mars came about purely by biological evolution. Does that make sense? Didn't think so. Evolution: falsified. Checkmate, atheists.That's basically the structure of his argument. He may bring up an analogy of the "evolution of cars", but he's using "evolution" in a metaphorical, or at least non-biological, sense. That's why the comparison is as nonsensical as applying biological evolution to Mars. We could also apply it to manufactured things like bricks, or beaver dams... of course it's not going to make sense to apply evolution to things that evolution wouldn't produce.
Ironically, the actual hallmark of design is simplicity, not complexity. "Keep is simple stupid (KISS)" is a common mantra of engineers and designers. Organisms and evolution don't follow that guideline.
He basically continues this Argument from Analogy, referencing Irreducible Complexity, etc. It's the classic comparison to the "evolution of cars" to the evolution of organisms.
Analogies are fine. They're useful for trying to connect an understanding that someone else already has, to a new concept - essentially recycling information. If you didn't know what a "canal" was, I could say "It's basically a river made by intelligent creatures" - and BAM! You get it. That, however, doesn't mean that any arbitrarily chosen attribute of one necessarily applies to the other.
The "arbitrarily chosen attribute" of the cars being applied to organisms, is that we understand cars to be designed, therefore, if we look at organisms and "perceive" their design, then it's true.
I've already torn this "Argument from Design" into shreds. I tried to answer the question "How can we tell whether something is designed?"
The short answer - demonstration and education. We know that cars are designed because we've grown up in a society where that's demonstrated constantly. The analogy breaks down horribly because we have a "contamination" of knowledge that comes from observing them designed/produced, instead of perceiving some attribute of the cars that alerts us of it's designed status. The argument is dumb.
If you thought the argument couldn't get worse, you haven't read these sentences.
It should be obvious to any passerby that this car was man-made, not derived from a series of mutations (accidents)... and yet many people believe that the human body, a considerably more complex machine, came about, in part, through a series of lucky genetic accidents. (Accidents, in my mind, are burns and broken bones.)
In the name of the... where do I begin?
Where is he getting this "accident" bullshit? It seems to be something that he blithely injected into the conversation that totally derails his ability to correctly understand it.
Is it an accident when it snows? No, that's to be expected given how physics and chemistry works.
Is it an accident that animals reproduce? No, that's to be expected.
Is it an accident that their offspring will vary slightly from the parents? No, that's to be expected. A combination of factors, from dominant/recessive gene combinations, to basic DNA copy errors, will produce slight variation.
Is it an accident that some of those traits will make it more likely for an offspring to survive, or to die, before reproduction? This is the closest to "accident" (in normal terms) that evolution gets, which is merely a question of probability of survival over the generations against particular traits.
"Accident", more generically, is something that otherwise shouldn't happen. Car crashes are called "accidents" because they're not supposed to happen. His colloquial definition doesn't coherently apply to evolutionary theory in any way, shape or form - and given the more generic definition, doesn't apply, because it's to be expected that some traits will be selected for, within the gene pool, than others. That's what evolution does.
|Do you enjoy photo of my dice?
I did an experiment once. I have 100 dice (mostly pictured right). How many times would I have to roll these 100 dice to get all 1s? (It's difficult to do this without having 100 dice flying everywhere).
Well, needless to say, I didn't even try. The probability against me would have been astronomical.
I decided to add a selection process. Every round of rolling, I'd set aside (select for) the dice that came up as 1s, and re-roll the rest.
How many rounds of rolling did it take for me to get 100 dice that are all 1s?
Creationists love to portray evolution as some kind of "pure wild accident" or "sequence of unfathomably unlikely events" - it's an unfathomably dishonest abuse of the credulity and ignorance of their audiences.
The full mechanism of evolution, from random mutation to natural selection, doesn't just produce the results we see - it's to be expected. The tendency for whiter rabbits to be more likely to survive, to reproduction, in a snowy area isn't an accident. It's to be expected.
It wasn't luck that it took me 27 roles to get all 1s.. that's the result of the selection process. Once a person understands the process, it's nothing mysterious, and it doesn't take magic. Likewise, when one understands the evolutionary process, it's also not mysterious how the selection process improved upon a single photosensitive patch, all the way to the complex eye. It's not "just an accident." It's practically inevitable, given how much of an advantage sight gives to survival rates.
This idea of "lucky accidents" is nothing but mischaracterizing spin, without any actual explanation as to how he comes to that conclusion. The whole argument comes down to "well it's obvious", with no evidence.
Think the argument couldn't get any worse...?
No Positive Mutations
Nearly all accidents (mutations) in nature are either silent and useless, extremely challenging, outright deforming, or simply incompatible with life.
There he goes, continuing to inexplicably and explicitly equivocate between "mutation" and "accident". In genetics/evolutionary theory, "mutation" simply means "change". We're not talking about 5-limbed mutants who are particularly good at ninja here.. that's actually very rare.
Are you an exact clone of your parents? No? Outside of results from dominant/recessive gene permutations, you've mutated. The vast majority of mutations are so minute, from generation to generation, to barely be an influence. Anything too drastic is more likely to be a drawback. It's not uncommon for "runts" to starve to death before reproduction, because they can't compete for food.
This is essentially the tired argument of "no beneficial mutations." It's also yet another misconception.
He's only paying attention to the harmful mutations, ignoring all the beneficial ones. Just look at your own body - that's mostly beneficial mutation. Your eyes, your opposable thumbs, your ears, your stomach - they were all beneficial mutations at one time (of course they didn't evolve all at once). That's the point. Most all the harmful ones were weeded out. There's a few benign things, like the vestigial appendix, or wisdom teeth (though the teeth are "benign" only because we invented surgery while our jaws were shrinking).
The whole point of evolution is that the remaining traits are the ones that best aided the organism in surviving in its current environment.
His argument here is utterly incoherent and entirely insalient.
They are not capable of creating complex individuals who can paint beautiful pictures, write wonderful stories, repair cleft palates, debate political issues or build racing cars.Why not? Because of your mischaracterizations and straw man arguments?
Keep in mind, those things don't evolve either. What did evolve, is the scalable neural net structure of what we'd call the "brain". Like a crystal lattice, the basic structure of the brain is actually very simple - but it's repeated. Evolution would only need the DNA to simply produce more of the issue. That's the neat thing about neural nets. They're self-organizing and self-learning, naturally.
All the things he cites comes from culture, education, and function of that scalable structure.
So basically his argument boils down to a vapid mischaracterization of mutations, and therefore... humanity couldn't have happened under evolution.
He starts with an absurd re-definition of the scientific "mutation", and used that to select only events that support his mischaracterization, leaving nothing left that's positive. His blatantly dishonest spin on the word, by definition, excludes the actual beneficial mutations.
- Chipmunks hoarding food for the winter, is a beneficial mutation.
- Chipmunks having brown fur that camouflages them, is a beneficial mutation.
- Chipmunks having expandable cheeks where they can stuff a bunch of food in their mouths, is a beneficial mutation.
- Chipmunks being able to smell the difference between a close cousin, and a distant cousin (for sexual selection), is a beneficial mutation.
* Note: to be pedantic, these traits arise incrementally over the generations. It's not like a chipmunk randomly one day started hording for the winter, when all its peers didn't.
If you went with Simmons' absurd definition of "mutations" being injuries or other definitionally negative changes, you wouldn't pick up on the fact that the above list counts as beneficial mutations that have happened already. If one insists on human-observed beneficial mutations, we do have some already, but most of the big ones take tens of thousands of years to build up through small iterations. We have plenty of evidence this does happen, and no evidence to the contrary.
There's no evidence here in this section. It's all baseless assertions, spin and rhetoric.
Conclusion/Personal Annotations
Welp, that's one paragraph down... 280 pages to go.
You don't even need to read this book. Just read through this index of refuted creationist claims, and you get the gist of what's inside. I don't find the fact that these arguments are in a book form, to have given it any magical powers. It's basically the same old beaten arguments, all contained within 310 pages of paper, instead of being online for the whole world to mock.
It's starting to look like Darwin knew more than Simmons.

Educate me on Fake Doctorate Diplomas!
In the event that you've effectively acquired a fake doctorate diploma or degree, the following legitimate venture up is a fake specialist diploma. Frequently alluded to as a fake phd or a fake bosses recognition, a fake specialist diploma is regularly acquired to supplant a lost or harmed certificate or to trap someone into supposing you have earned a genuine specialist diploma.
A graduate diploma, not at all like a bachelor diploma, regularly showcases a diploma earned in a two year period rather than four. They are likewise accessible as numerous famous diploma decisions including business, expressions and rationality. Various site suppliers do decline to do graduate level diploma fakes in medicinal and/or law.
At the point when requesting a fake doctorate diploma or degree, you'll simply require essential data including the name of the school or college you'll need to demonstrate the fake diploma was from, your name (as you need it printed) and a graduation date you need showed. By and large on the off chance that you are unsure of what to put, most fake confirmation suppliers can help you in taking care of out the online request structure.
Fake Doctorate diplomas are accessible as recognitions and/or transcripts. Most destinations do offer a markdown for requesting both records as a combo bundle.
What amount of will a fake secondary school transcript cost me?
A fake doctorate diploma or degree are regularly the most extravagant item sold on fake certificate sites. Hope to pay around $60 at low-end and as much as $500 on the top of the line for a confirmation or transcript/certificate blend.

I am all for redecorating and makeovers. Who doesn't love a good makeover?! Unfortunately, it's not always in the budget. We can't all run to Pottery Barn every time we are sick of our couch or end tables. Someday perhaps! For now I like to shop the house when I need a refresh. Shopping the house means you use what you already have to give a room a refresh by moving things from room to room.
In this case, I wanted to give my whole house a refresh. Although I was able to move all the big pieces around in one day, it is not going to be a quick project and I'm not even sure I love it yet. It's going to take some time to tweak these new spaces in my home. I've left some corners a little bare in order to really spruce up one space and vice versa. And although I desperately wanted to avoid shopping for anything new, I think I will eventually need to in order to complete the look I have in my head for the new rooms.
For today, I am sharing my living room fall makeover. There are a few new things you haven't seen yet and I did make one trip to my favorite store, World Market, just for a few minor items.
First, I want to share the big statement piece because I am so excited about it! This beautiful sign is from Between You and Me Signs on Etsy. The shop owners are so wonderfully delightful and truly put love and care into each of their pieces. This sign is massive at 4 feet tall and 2.5 feet wide. So it definitely makes a big impact on this room. The words are taken from 1 Corinthians 13:4 and it is a reminder I truly need daily in my life. Without the perfect example of Jesus's love, I wouldn't be able to survive these challenging years with no sleep, fussy toddlers, and life's constant forks in the road. The words remind me to be patient with my children, forgive those who have wronged me, and to look to my heavenly Father for the love I need every day. It's amazing how these words just give me so much peace and I hope they do the same for you!
I wanted the sign to be the big centerpiece of the room so I moved my couch from this wall and placed my World Market Everett Foyer Table here. This is my favorite piece of furniture we have. It is so versatile and can basically work with anyone's style or layout.
As far as styling the table, I wanted to add in some fall pops of color and textures. I hopped over to World Market to pick out those ridiculously real-looking red apples. My kids have only tried to bite into them oooohhh. . . about 10 times since I placed them there.
Additionally, I picked up the four white plates above the lamps at World Market while I was there. When I first placed everything on the table, the walls seemed empty. I texted a few of my design friends for advice and I decided to go with the tip my friend Annie (Annie Anderson from @Zevyjoy) gave me and hung these plates to fill the space. I love the shape of these and I'm almost thinking I need a whole set now.
The blue candlesticks gave it that last pop of color I needed and I topped them with my World Market flameless candles. The table just looked a little stiff and cold to me so I added these two pillows from TJ Maxx I wasn't using for some coziness. I threw in a few of my decor items from other rooms I had including the handmade wood tray from Axel Co, the vintage picnic basket and jug, and the deer antler. These were the last touches I needed to get that fall vibe going.
Little Rory exploring the apples and sneaking into my shoot. Like he always does!
Do you recognize the couch? It is the couch from our old playroom. It is actually a hand me down from my grandmother. We love it here and I think it will really be a great piece to decorate around for the holidays this year. The coffee table stayed in this room. It's from World Market a few years back and I absolutely love this piece. The kids like to sit on it and we do puzzles and card games here, so we keep it simple with no decor. I moved my shutters on either side and I love the texture it gives that wall space. The side chairs are from World Market and I adorned them with throw blankets and two fall pillows from Bows and Burlap.
I like to keep my mantle pretty simple year round but for the fall makeover, I simply added these cinderella pumpkins and green vines. The clock didn't move from its old location. This beauty is from Pier1.
The beauty of shopping your home is that you really have to tune into your creative side. You have to search your home and see the items you already own in a new light. I was able to do this room makeover with just making a few small purchases and now the room feels ready for the holidays. I will probably change more things as I go and I am already gearing up for Christmas (I know, I know, it's only October). For now, the room feels on the right track.
Here are a few more pics to share with you and let me know if you like the changes in the comments or chat with me on Instagram! Can't wait to hear from you!

I love music and oldies rock n roll is what I grew up on! I love all of the music from those two decades and this is a playlist of all of the greatest hits from then!
I play water polo and love the water. It helps me calm down and get stronger. I love everyone on my team, and the pool is also like my second home.
My family is really important to me, and this is just a short video of me greeting my brother. Every time I see him it is like this!
Ever since I was 7 I have been going to this camp during the summer, whether working there or being a camper, and the main purpose is to teach kids to build. I have so many friends there and its like going home when I go there. It sparked my love and interest for building, and some of my closest friends are from there.
When I lived in Australia, my oldest brother didn't come with us. He visited halfway through our time living there, and I was beyond excited to see him. We spent the entire time that he was in Australia on Stradbroke Island, or as we call it, Straddie, so this place is really special to me. This is a picture of me and my brothers when I was 9 on Straddie.

Above the Bay presents the best in Bluegrass and Americana music.
The Special Consensus
Winner of TWO IBMA Awards for their John Denver Tribute Album and recently nominated for a Grammy for their Compass Records CD - Scratch Gravel Road
…Special Consensus is a superb bluegrass outfit in a classic vein but with more than enough modern sensibilities to attract every ear in this now pleasantly fractionating genre. The vocals are spotless, the playing as shiny as a newly minted penny, and music like this is the reason people come to love bluegrass… Special Consensus approaches this hallowed American musical form with boundless energy and an aesthetic reverence that tickles the ribs, tugs at the heart, and puts a restless two-step in boots and bare feet...
Megan B. Lynch Chowning
Megan Lynch Chowning, originally from Redding, California, is a seven-time national fiddle champion, touring musician, recording artist, teacher, singer, and flatfooter. She recently finished four years on the road with legendary country music artists Pam Tillis and Lorrie Morgan, and has played with bluegrass stars Dale Ann Bradley, Roland White, Larry Cordle, Jim Hurst, Chris Jones, 3 Fox Drive, Due West, Chris Stuart, and BEML (the duo of Bill Evans and Megan). Megan has fiddled and sung on more than 3 dozen projects, and has a new solo album out called Something Old, New Borrowed, Blue. She has taught fiddle at prestigious camps such as Augusta Heritage Week, the British Columbia Bluegrass Workshop, Sore Fingers Bluegrass Week in the UK, and the California Bluegrass Association Camp, among many others. She's the director of her own FiddleStar Youth and Adult Fiddle Camps. But sometimes she just likes to sit quietly and smell the flowers.
Sideline Bluegrass
Sideline is a pedigreed six-piece powerhouse whose style has set the pace in Bluegrass for over two decades. Founders Steve Dilling, Skip Cherryholmes and Jason Moore can all claim their own historical significance to the genre as members of highly awarded groups, multiple Grand Ole Opry appearances and years of national and international touring.
What started as a side project for the seasoned players soon moved to the front and center as the three were joined by talents of Bailey Coe; guitar, Troy Boone; mandolin, and Daniel Greeson; fiddle, and began to record and release albums in earnest.
To listen to Sideline reminds the fan of why so many people fall in love with Bluegrass in the first place; pulse-pounding drive, songs sung from the heart, perfected timing and dynamics as well as a visceral emotion in the rendering. A band that was started as an off-season fun experiment has become a full-time dream team of players and singers.
The band, recorded or live, move dynamically from well chosen, hard-hitting neo-traditional covers of classic songs to new material curated by a band with a perfect sense of who they are and what they have to say. Combine all this with their on-stage energy and finesse as well as their powerful and affecting harmonies, and you have the embodiment of the North Carolina Bluegrass sound. Sideline has released three national projects and currently records for the highly awarded Mountain Home Music Company based near Asheville, NC.
Megan and Mary Sue
Megan Lynch Chowning and Mary Sue Englund met years ago when Mary Sue had to explain all the complicated harmony vocal parts to Megan during Megan's first rehearsal with their mutual employer, the country music star, Pam Tillis. Megan, ever grateful, showed Mary Sue a few things on the fiddle and then they did a little shopping together and a little laughing together and a lifelong friendship was born. Over the last decade Megan and Mary Sue have traveled the world together, sharing stages in many countries and just about all the states and their friendship has only gotten stronger. In 2015, Megan and Mary Sue decided to take things to another level - they have stepped into the middle of the stage and are now singing and playing their own music together.
Megan, a seven time National Champion fiddler, and Mary Sue, an award-winning singer/songwriter, have put together a charming, meaningful show full of songs Mary Sue has written and songs Megan has written and songs they both just love that other people have written. Mary Sue has a special knack for writing what people call "healing music". These are songs that stay with you and continue to impact your life, long after the show is over. Megan is a little more quirky and finds and writes things that help you see the world in a little different way. Their duo show is a beautiful combination of all these parts of their personalities and just wait until you hang out with them after the show. They're pretty hilarious and awfully kind and they just can't wait to meet you.

Getting to Green
An administrator pushes, on a shoestring budget, to move his university and the world toward a more sustainable equilibrium.
A big case where bigger's not better
One of the oft-unspoken norms around here is that economies of scale exist, so bigger is more efficient than smaller. Another, of course, is that efficiency is a good thing. But a temporarily overlooked (at least, by sustainability wonks) report out of the Edison Electric Institute seems to say that neither scale nor efficiency is necessarily advantageous.
One of the oft-unspoken norms around here is that economies of scale exist, so bigger is more efficient than smaller. Another, of course, is that efficiency is a good thing. But a temporarily overlooked (at least, by sustainability wonks) report out of the Edison Electric Institute seems to say that neither scale nor efficiency is necessarily advantageous.
Titled Disruptive Challenges: Financial Implications and Strategic Responses to a Changing Retail Electric Business, a white paper published by the national association of electric service companies looks at this continent's electrical distribution infrastructure and the costs of maintaining/enhancing it in the face of a general trend toward "distributed energy resources (DER's)", i.e., small, localized electrical generation equipment including solar panels, wind turbines and micro-hydro facilities. Even though DER's currently supply only about one percent of national demand for electricity, their popularity is increasing as their prices fall. And the electrical industry isn't concerned just about DER generating capacity today -- it's concerned (or, at least, its forward thinkers are concerned) about DER capacity 30 years hence, because 30 years is the span across which utilities generally finance infrastructure improvements. Put another way, somebody's going to be making the final payment 30 years from now on each and every improvement to the electrical grid that gets made this year.
The author's concern, understandably, is who's going to be ready, willing and able to make that 360th mortgage payment (so to speak) not just on infrastructure investments made in 2013, but also in 2018 and 2023 and 2028. He points out that as DER generation capacity increases, the number of regular customers reliant on grid-supplied electricity will only go down, leaving fewer end-users to pick up the bill for an ever larger, ever older continent-wide distribution network. The institutional investors who typically buy utility bonds (generally some of the most conservative, reliable investments available short of government securities) aren't worrying about utility companies' ability to meet their obligations three decades hence. At least, they're not worrying yet. After all, institutional investors are typically looking only 12-24 months into the future, and the next year or two doesn't seem particularly troubling. But at some point, investors are going to cotton on to the fact that utility market share will be dropping, utility revenues will be reduced or at least strained, and there will be "potential for a squeeze on profitability and, thus, credit ratings." All of this, logically seems likely to lead to a situation where "the future cost and availability of capital for the electric utility industry would be adversely impacted." And you can't run a big utility company without capital.
The nub of the problem for utilities is the rapid rate of change (especially, price change) in alternative generation technologies. It can make sense to install equipment that will take 30 years to pay for, but only if you expect to be able to use it for 30 or more years. In 1950, that was the case. In 1975 and 2000, still probably true. As 2025 approaches . . . who knows? In a stable technological environment and a stable (or reliably growing) market, big investments that pay off with increased efficiency can make perfect sense. But it makes far less sense if the market's not reliable in the long term. And even further less sense if the reason for the lack of reliability is the specter of technological change. After all, who cares about the nominal efficiency of some piece of infrastructure that produces a service for which there's no demand? And who wants big, lumbering, slow-to-react infrastructure in a highly volatile demand situation?
Put it this way -- if efficiency were all, your inter-city transportation and mine would be high-speed rail. Railroad trains have always been more mechanically efficient than automobiles and planes. But cars are much, much more flexible -- you can go wherever you want, whenever you want. And planes are much, much (at least, on this continent) faster. Flexibility and speed trump efficiency in a market where individual demand for transportation changes daily.
Big, honking centralized electrical generation capacity which distributes power across a big, honking continental grid is efficient in the same way that railroads are efficient. And there's nothing inherently wrong with that. (Hell, I'm a big fan of inter-city high-speed rail as one way to attract folks back into livable cities.) But distributed energy resources -- home-scale solar panels, farm-scale wind turbines, neighborhood- and town- and city-scale distribution networks interconnected for purposes of load-balancing and emergency (not day-to-day) supply -- are like cars. Done right, they can be like bicycles -- both flexible (within an appropriate range) and efficient. Call it "resilient". Call it "viable in the long term".
No wonder the electric utility industry is starting to worry. The way things are going, a number of other big, honking centralized/globally integrated industries may follow suit. One can only hope.

Blow Up
From the Database of Home of the Underdogs
GAME DEVELOPER:Eurosoft
GAME PUBLISHER:Eurosoft
Copyright 1988, Eurosoft
Blow Up is a below-average clone of Boulderdash from UK-based Eurosoft, who released a number of games for the MSX computer in mid-1980s. The game is the same dig-the-path gameplay you have seen in Boulderdash, mixed with a bit of Diggers, Soko-Ban, and jigsaw puzzle for good measure. You have five lives and only a limited number of special items to bail you out of tough spots. Some levels are nicely designed, but most of them look too similar to each other, and the pixellated CGA palette makes it difficult to tell the difference between rocks, pipes, and other terrain features. After you go through the first few levels, you will have seen all there is in the game. If you like Boulderdash, this little underdog doesn't really do it justice. Not recommended at all.
Note: We are also looking for any other Eurosoft game that were released for PC, if they exist. Please contact us if you have any!

Although I'm waiting to see how he feels this afternoon, I'm thinking our plans for today are doomed too (there's a festival in Kin Town with fireworks tonight). Since we're staying home, I'll do the domestic thing and finally finish the second half of the bathroom post.
As I posted before in part 1, the typical Japanese house has separate rooms for the bath and the toilet. In America, this would be counted as a half bath, but here it's bigger than some of the closet-sized water closets I've used.

And the best part of our bathroom: the amazing toilet!

Another common feature that our toilet doesn't have is a handle with a big and little (大 and 小) flush feature to conserve water.

Criminal Profiling Post of the Day: Psychopathic Corporations
Hey, good news, Donna! I actually got back the $1500 Gold's Gym stole from my bank account! Of course, the bad news is, there is no penalty, no punishment, for them doing so. Isn't that a sweet deal for crooked companies? Check this out! A company like Gold's Gym can simply charge a person's bank account some outrageous sum (in my case $1500 for personal training services I didn't sign up for) and if that individual can't figure out how to fight it, it is theirs to keep. If the person does fight back (and I did through my bank's so-called fraud unit), they are only required to return the money (some six months later). There are no criminal charges filed against them as the police told me this is purely a civil matter and neither the bank nor VISA even so much as slaps them on the hand. They also are not required to return the money with interest even though they prevented me from having use of that money for months. Good thing I wasn't a poor student who needed the money for rent or a single mom trying to put food on the table for my kids. I asked my bank, "Isn't this pretty much the same thing as my walking into a store, shoplifting a television, and if the security tape finally identifies me as the thief half a year later, I won't be arrested, only required to return the used item? In response, the bank man muttered something unintelligible or unintelligent, I can't remember which. I told him this was a pretty slick game the bank, VISA, and crooked corporations had going as all of them benefit from this massive consumer fraud. He said something even more stupid. Perhaps this is why Mr. X, as I called him, refused to tell me his last name. He either is embarrassed to be connected with such an organization or fears retaliation from the clients that his bank and their accomplices screw. I guess I could move my money to another bank but I have a feeling there isn't one out there with a much better set of ethics. Our society seems to have accepted being bilked by corporations and given up the fight against these big fat psychopathic monopolies. Can anyone say Cingular? They tried to rip me off for $5000, but, oh, never mind…..I will leave that rant alone for today. I am feeling too good for having gotten back my $1500 from Gold's that I don't won't to ruin my temporary Pollyanna bliss by reliving my two year fight against the "new AT&T"! I'll post on that another day.

First, a few definitions by scientific research and eating disorder organisations:
"Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is often called the 'imagined ugliness' disorder. […] excessive, disproportionate concerns about a minor flaw, or as recurrent, anxiety-provoking thoughts about an entirely imagined defect […] most frequently focused on the head and face, but may involve any body part. [Sufferers] feel that something is too big or swollen or too small, or that it is out of proportion to the rest of the body. Any part of the body may however be involved in BDD including the breasts, genitals, buttocks, abdomen, hands, feet, legs, hips, overall body size, body build or muscle bulk […] lead[s] most patients to engage in compulsive behaviours, such as mirror checking, excessive grooming, and skin picking … [They] believe themselves to be ugly or defective." Source: http://www.ocduk.org/bdd
"[…]body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is relatively common among patients with anorexia nervosa" (Int J Eat Disord2002;32:291) Source: http://eatingdisordersreview.com/nl/nl_edr_13_6_6.html
"A normally healthy weight range for an individual can be perceived as overweight by someone with a distorted body image. An anorexic … woman may look at herself in a mirror and see a reflection that is greater than her actual size." Source: https://www.eatingdisorderhope.com/information/body-image
Sorry, I'm a bit out of practise with citations but just so you know where the info comes from and that I don't claim it as my own 😉
And now about my body self-perception:
I'm not entirely convinced what I have is BDD or a distorted body image. I know it's common among people with eating disorders and yes, there's a big chance I suffer from it too. Deep down I know I do. But when I look myself in the mirror I'm certain that what I see is real and that I'm probably the only eating-disordered person who sees their real size in the mirror. Leaves the question open why my size keeps changing often several times a day but there's one prevalent size and image I keep seeing. People tell me what I see is total bullshit but I don't believe them. It's so hard to get into your head because why on earth would you see yourself as bigger as you are, why is it so real for you?? In addition there's the fact that people generally tend to lie when it comes to judging someone elses body. However is this the same? Are they telling the truth? In your perception they are just trying to make you feel better or they are exaggerating or it's them who have a distorted perception.
This morning I looked myself in the mirror and all I see again is a chubby short person with chubby thighs, an upper body that's way out of proportion and too big for her height; I see a completely acne scarred face with weird mouth-nose-eye proportions or just generally something weird but I don't know what exactly it is. The face shape is weird, the eyes are weird when I look at my face as a whole. They are kind of okay when looked at without the rest of the face but as soon as you look at the whole picture it's just totally unaesthetic. Actually putting it in a category is difficult because it's ot ugly per se…it's definitely not pretty but it's something more than ugly, something I can't describe.
As for my thighs and butt and torso….I really wonder how I have a low bmi and where I lost that weight. Probably all brain weight or whatever. Maybe some organs shrank, otherwise it makes no sense. Noone in the entire world can look like that with a bmi 16 on the lower end. Except me. This only confirms how I see myself: weird and different and just abnormal and ridiculous. Maybe it's my height. Maybe short people have it more difficult to actually look anorexic or thin. But then I know girls who are short and look sooo tiny. So is it just me? It must be. Maybe some exceptions. But it must be my height. Fuck my height. Fuck my parents who didn't realise how I wasn't growing throughout all my puberty. How I stopped growing at 10. Fuck them that they didn't do anything about it, I mean how would I know there' s such a thing as treatments with growth hormones etc. Ecetera ecetera….and here we are back with the old conflict of my height. Blaming my height for everything.
So that's my BDD. Or apparently BDD. I don't know I know I don't know I know I don't know. But it probably is a distorted perception. But it probably isn't. That's how I feel. That's what I have to contribute to the topic. Completely fucked up, right? I know from others who have eating disorders that they often feel the same way. But according to my brain they really have a distorted perception and are wrong in what they see in the mirror. Whereas I'm oh so special that I'm actually right when I see these things.
I'm slowly getting a headache reflecting on all this, it's always passively on my mind anyways and also I have to do work for college. It's way to late to manage doing all the work I should've done but I'll try trying.
Bye for now, I hope you all have a nice day! xx

Before unveiling the Nightlife in Alabama, let us learn few facts about Alabama. Alabama is a state situated in the United States in the southeastern region encircled by Tennessee to the north, Georgia to the east, Gulf of Mexico, Florida to the south and Mississippi to the west. Alabama is also designated as the Yellowhammer State, after their state bird. Synonymously known as the "Heart of Dixie", Alabama's state tree is the Longleaf Pine and its state flower is the Camellia. Though the capital of Alabama is Montgomery, Birmingham still remains the largest city by population in Alabama.
Alabama State has an impressive nightlife. Although this state is in no comparison with either New York or California, it has its own charm with great parties every night for travelers. Alabama is a state that emphasizes on performing arts followed by numerous programs performed on various seasons. Among the best places of Alabama State is Alabama Symphony Orchestra which hosts classical music and programs designed especially for families. Another place in this state for arts is the Opera Birmingham which hosts seasonal programs for the fall and spring months. Switching to the clubs and disco's, the day-to-information of the actual partying nightlife in Alabama is available in the Birmingham News that provides the updated information on the rocking and hottest clubs and disco's in the city of Alabama. Alabama is famous for its rich musical history and is a paradise for people who thoroughly enjoy rhythm and blues or jazz. Ona's Music Room in Alabama is the best place for jazz lovers hosting shows from Thursday to Saturdays. For youth who love to rock, The Nick will certainly be the best place to pay a visit. Alabama State caters numerous clubs to a large number of college students attending the University of Alabama Birmingham. Though the nightlife in Alabama is rejuvenating, Alabama lacks in the diversity of music.

When one kind-hearted nurse at the Children's Health in Dallas nominated her name for Make A Wish, fortunately, she was approved. Daisy then decided to visit Walt Disney World just to meet Belle.
When Belle found her love for Belle, she decided to take her and her whole family on a Tour of France. Daisy's dream came true when she spent her day with Belle and that was the happiest day of her life so far.

It was a lot worse all along - prolly ten times worse
Cops lynch another one, in Baton Rouge
Shhh… Roose still thinks those were the good ol' days to bring Murrica back to
They were the good old days - I would say the cutoff date in age to truly know what it was like would be about 66 years old
Any younger then that and you could never understand the gigantic difference
So lynchings or overt racism never happened 67 years ago? okay
Link to where the fuck I sed that -
times was a 1000 times better -
If yer under 66 you could never comprehend it
So you're being unclear. OK. What happened in 1950 that this is so?
1950 got nothing to do with it
It is what year your pre-teen and teen years were
The 1800's were the best… well, except for having to clean the horse shit off your boots and the consumption from all the gas lamps. Still, you could sit in a saloon all day getting drunk on rot gut and fukking the hoors upstairs… not to mention walking around with a gun and shooting anyone who offended you.
Well and having to pump out a dozen or so kids to make sure you had a 3 or 4 survive to grow old enough to work the farm.
Even with WWII I would trade places with my grandfathers in half a second.
The Korean War began and McCarthyism really got rolling, for starters.
And GM, big oil and Ikes Military Freeway System begat the American Car Culture, I blame Obama.
Didn't take long for the guy who shot and uploaded the video of the shooting, to be arrested and jailed for "assault & battery" – except it was actually just an unpaid parking ticket. He needs to relocate and change his name.
The New York Times reported:
When it comes to the most lethal form of force — police shootings — the study finds no racial bias.
It is the most surprising result of my career," said Fryer, the author of the study.
The result contradicts the mental image of police shootings that many Americans hold in the wake of the killings (some captured on video) of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Mo.; Laquan McDonald in Chicago; Tamir Rice in Cleveland; Walter Scott in South Carolina; Samuel DuBose in Cincinnati; Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, La.; and Philando Castile in Minnesota.
Maybe that's true, but one thing I can tell you (based in part from my time in the car business) perception is reality.
The story did not say that cops treated Blacks the same in other areas, maybe that helps to create the perception that you are talking about.
Hey. I am spending too much time on the internets today, I got yard work to do. Have a good one.

That picture is the image painted in The Last Supper by Renaissance artist Leonardo da Vinci. The painting covers the back wall of the dining hall at Santa Maria delle Grazie in Milan, Italy. I like it so much that I chose to do research about Leonardo da Vinci for a project in 4th grade elementary.
Over the years, I've seen the image that da Vinci used in his painting replicated in other forms of art such as wood carving. In fact, I've seen many Filipino households keep a "Last Supper" painting or wood carving in their dining rooms. Must be a tradition (unless it was just in my family? Someone please let me know.)
I must say, if an image can be imitated through toys like Lego, it must be a very interesting picture indeed!

First, I guess I need to start with the obligatory praise of Democrat Representative John Lewis for his work during Civil Rights Protests. Yes, he used to be a man of conviction. He stood on principle and was severely beaten by Democrats and arrested by Democrats to protest the racist laws that had been put in place by Democrats. He bravely stood up against the discrimination and systematic racism that the corrupt Democrats relied on to oppress blacks. Then he became a Democrat, and it was all downhill from there.
Last week Lewis proved how decades in Congress can turn a man of principle into a tired and partisan political hack. In an interview, Lewis attacked Trump as being "illegitimate" and said that he will skip the inauguration this Friday. Showing how serious and weighty a decision this was, Lewis then claimed ""It will be the first one that I miss since I've been in Congress."
To partisan hacks like Lewis who are intent of drama and dividing out country, there is no easier way to trump something up than to just plain lie. To be sure, Lewis lied. In 2001 Lewis also skipped the inauguration of George W Bush. Oddly, it is for the same reason that he claimed Bush was not the true elected President. That was 16 years ago, and the last Republican President so it is not some distant and forgotten memory.Lewis is a lying liar who lies.
It is sad to see a once proud man debase himself publicly like this. It is not surprising from a Democrat like Lewis, just sad. What do you expect from a man who dedicated his life to a political party that oppressed, assaulted and imprisoned him. His life is now spent attacking the party that ended slavery and has supported pushing through civil rights at every turn. As I have said before Lewis is like some sad victim of Stockholm Syndrome.

Wishbones Pet Boutique Breeds Success with Total By NCR Silver
"Happiness is a warm puppy," said Charles M. Schultz.
Susan Murphy, owner of Wishbones Pet Boutique & Barkery, has created a life around this quote. Located just outside of Boston in Scituate, Massachusetts, this little pet boutique was built on the philosophy that they "give back the kind of love that our pets gives us."
Back in 2010 when Wishbones first opened, it was the first of its kind in the area. Susan was able to provide a unique experience by creating a fun environment for local pets and their owners. Since then, she's prided herself on breeding a happy and healthy atmosphere for both customers and employees.
Much of what is being accomplished at Wishbones has been with the help of Total by NCR Silver. Here's how all of our business solutions work together to make the business more streamlined and easier to run.

Stay open for business 24/7
Total gives Wishbones the ability to sell everywhere – in store, online and on the go. So when the brick and mortar is closed or out-of-town customers want to restock, they can still go online to shop.
"The e-commerce aspect is very helpful, along with the back office that allows me to get insight into inventory levels."
With Total, inventory is managed in one centralized location across sites, so Susan doesn't have to spend time manually calculating inventory.

Work anytime, from anywhere
Since all data is stored in the cloud, Susan can see robust back office reports from home (and anywhere else she can get an Internet connection!), making it easy for her to check on her online and in-store sales anytime. She says, "I love that NCR Console allows me to see into inventory on hand and manage my employees based on past trends."
Total has given her the freedom to stop micro-managing her store and invest more time into customer service. "Total by NCR Silver really allows me to dedicate more time to growing my business. Before, I was just reacting to everything my business would bring. Now this system has allowed me to free up time to improve things instead of being at the store 24/7," says Susan.
Having integrated solutions also cuts time back for Wishbones. "The click and send reporting is convenient when I need to send payroll to Paychex. It's quick and easy and I can get my employees paid with no hassle," says Susan.

Keep customers begging for more
For Wishbones, the number one priority is customers. That's why they use NCR Silver to track customers from the point of sale, and run marketing campaigns to build a fanbase of recurring customers.
"The loyalty program is tracked through my POS. That way, I can send loyalty emails, coupons and updates to inform customers about upcoming sales," says Susan.
This back office feature is a great way to generate loyal and happy owners, but their dogs are also running back for more. "Customers are always walking around town with their dogs and their dogs will literally pull their owners to front door because they love the shops environment," says Susan.

I enjoy the challenge of making an original image of beautiful shoes. You know how you see a setting or pose involving shoes that you've never seen before? They're rare, but memorable.
My foray into women's shoe fashion is usually a fun experiment. Come up with a way to showcase the lovely design of the heels, that has a little otherworldly sense about it. It certainly doesn't hurt that my friend B has legs that go from here to the moon.
She was over one evening and as often happens during an evening of cocktails and epic discussions, we decided to play with a pair of shoes that she brought over. You know, just in case an impromptu photoshoot might break out.
And of course it did, with B seeming to defy gravity in her beautiful Kate Spades.

*Originally titled, "Design Your Dream 2013 part 1" Updated to be relevant for any time, any year.
Do you ever wonder why some people seem to have all the luck and others do not? Perhaps you don't consider yourself to be one of the lucky ones? Things seem to come quite easily to these lucky people don't they? They're always finding themselves in the right-place-at-the-right-time almost all the time. It is as if opportunity or the luck fairy follows them around just begging and pleading to be noticed!
Yes! I've seen it. I've also experienced it too. I've been on both sides and happily I'm able to say that I'm on the receiving end of things now, in a constant flow of what we'll call good fortune for now. As someone who's been immersed in different traditions of healing, witchcraft, Goddess spirituality, a serious student of the Law of Attraction and many other occult related things for over twenty-plus years, I have a really good idea why some people appear to be very lucky and while others do not.
Are you ready for me to tell you why?
Are you sure?
The reason why is because it's not about being lucky at all. That's right. Oh certainly, Lady Luck is there and She definitely makes her rounds granting random strokes of lucks for thrill, excitement and to add depth, dimension and spark to an ordinary life. I believe She can be called upon by those who need her assistance and she's probably more likely to help those who are helping themselves. But where I think she really shines is with the out-of-the-blue-random strokes of luck! They are pure magick! They are exciting, thrilling and oh just so fun!
What it's about is being aware of and understanding, acknowledging your own divine potential and inherent power to create your own life. Or as it's often said in spiritual communities, "co-create" your life with the Universal energy, force or God.
First you must believe in potential and possibility that universe will provide you with all the support and energy you need to manifest your dreams. Secondly, you must accept that it's not only OK to dream and to desire but that it's an absolute must!
For most of us, desire causes us to become motivated into taking action into getting what we want. We develop an attachment to that which we want and we start, often unconsciously, acting in accordance with that energy, being that energy and therefore drawing that energy to us and ultimately getting what we desire. We just don't think about the science behind it. We just do it. Crafting our lives is not as easy as desiring a pizza and being able to pick up the phone and ordering one. Or is it?
Things to make you go hmmm….
Back to the lucky people and how to be one:
These seemingly extra ordinarily "lucky people" are tapped in and turned on to their own high frequency potential energy channel. The setting is anywhere from medium high to very high. The higher the frequency, the more the energy they are putting out there like waves of magnetic particles attracting the things they want to them or them to the things they want or opportunities they want to have. They may not even be spiritual people, believe in what we call magic or walk a sacred path of any kind at all and yet, still they are tapped in and turned on making good shit happen for themselves all the time. This is because the universal energy isn't available just to spiritual people—it's available to all people. This creative energy is the fabric of love from which the entire universe is created. All anyone has to do is become aware and tap in, turn on and turn up and get ready to create.
Key words here are "Become Aware".
Many of us are already tapped in, turned on and turned up but have no idea that we are. And instead of creating these 'lucky' circumstances for our lives, we are creating one chaotic adventure after another. Yes, lovelies, it would behoove us to understand and remember that the universe is a huge pool of swirling energy and endless potential. When we shift our thinking and awareness to purposely bring about change, we call this magic. It's more than a cool buzz word; this shift is the key.
Look at the lucky people. I mean really think about those in your life that you seem to think are really lucky people. How do they act? What is their over all disposition? Are they happy? Are they detached to outcome? Highly determined people? Do they always make decisions and follow-up with action? Do they chase dreams or goals that seem unlikely to manifest and yet, surprisingly to you they do?
These lucky people, both consciously and unconsciously move from a deeper place of knowing that they can have what they want. They don't simply think it, they believe it, they feel it—they know it. Whether or not they call it magic or not, they are swimming it. It's all around them and they know.
So they focus on their own wants and their own desires. Others look at them with envy and call them selfish. In reality, as I've said before, we are all selfish –like the word or not—we all just try to pretend that we aren't. It's OK to be selfish. In fact, it's healthy to be selfish. Like the lucky people whose selfishness turns on and activates their energetic and magnetic thought power full blast, radiating outwardly those waves of magnetism calling forth only that which they seek! They do it so often and they achieve their goals, attain their desires that they seem like the luckiest people in the world.
But as I said before, luck has nothing to do with it. They are tapped in and turned on and are consciously aware of their manifesting potential.
If you are a bystander watching other people 'be lucky' then time to stop watching other people "be lucky" and take action. You have the power and potential to make good things happen! If you are a 'woe-is-me' type of person, you know, one of those "everything- you- have- ever- tried- has- failed- type" of person then I have something to say to you:
Honey, darling sweetheart, I hate to be the one to break it to you but there is just no gentle or easy way to tell you that if your life is one big unhappy mess and misery, well my love, it's your own damn fault.
There. I said it. I know it hurts. But it'll get better from here. I promise.
Yes, it gets better because –and this is the good news—you can absolutely fix it! Look, the truth is your life is a result of all the choices you have made or didn't make, good or bad, beautiful or ugly it's all yours. So if you are unhappy with it then time is now to get happy because you life will be the result of the NEW CHOICES you make or don't make because the exact same manifestation principle is always in action no matter who, what, and where we are and what we want to do. If you are aware of your own potential to have, to do and to be great things then you shall. You will be one of the lucky people.
THIS is YOUR YEAR DARLINGS!!
That is if you claim it and call it in. I mean, really sit with this for a minute. Think about how your life is now and realize, that good or bad you created it. No matter what, that's power Baby! So as a powerful being with this incredible ability to call forth, create and co-create with the universe, what will you do?
Well the first thing I want you to remember is:
You are Divine and because you are Divine, the same creative spark that created the universe and from which the universe evolved from flows within You. You are Divine and you carry the universe within you. Just like you have unconsciously created the perhaps not-so-happy-daisy life you may feel you live now, you can consciously and with purpose co-create the life you actually want to live. You can open yourself up to Lady Luck and her divine blessings.
OK, talk about IRONY! Just as I'm jotting all this down in my notebook (I write all my posts down in a notebook first) a friend of mine just text messages me and tells me another friend of ours –ready for this? Just won 25K from a scratch off lottery ticket! This friend is a woman who is very religious and doesn't believe in gambling! Yet, here she is, 25K richer! See? This is what I mean about Lady Luck. I think she truly enjoys the waving her wand or spinning that wheel and then stopping it at random. Random gets her juices going!
In the next days I will be posting a part two of "Designing Your Dream 2013". I have some ideas, tips and activities to share with you that if put to use will no doubt be beneficial in helping you put your Goddess power to work and Designing Your Dream Year to be your best year yet!
Until then lovelies!
Goddess Bless!
