It seems that there's a recent interest in so-called Intelligent Design, to explain those characteristics of plants and animals that scientific types
... uh, cannot explain.
In Darwin's theory of evolution (and refinements of that theory), modern living things evolved over jillions of years slowly, by small and random
changes in their DNA structure, and the life form accommodated / adapted to changes in their environment, with those unable to adapt becoming extinct
(that's "natural selection"), and ...
>No radical, abrupt changes?
Well, that's acceptable in modern Theories of Evolution. Cosmic radiation (or other such influences) might cause more dramatic changes in the DNA structure.
Charles Darwin said (in his Origin of Species):
If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory [of natural selection] would absolutely break down.
>And what's this Intelligent Design stuff?
Intelligent Design (ID) refers to the theory that intelligent causes are responsible for the origin of life in all its diversity ... not random chance.
Or extraterrestrials, some other unknown intelligence, a "guiding hand", an "unseen force" behind the development of humanity.
I doubt whether many ID proponents would want to identify the "intelligent cause".
I think the argument is that life is so complex that it's inconceivable that it could have arrived at its current complex status by
natural selection (which nromally works on small mutations, one component at a time).
>What do you believe?
Well, let me ramble a bit:
Although we share about 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees, we also share about 60% with bananas.
Let me continue:
Well ... yes, I suppose so. Anyway, that's the Theory of Evolution. I guess the question is:
How did the first DNA come into being?
If the double helix were to be split into two pieces (each half of the double helix), then the entire double helix
could be reconstructed from either half because the so-called "base pairs" combine as A-T and G-C (as in Figure 1),
so if you had just one half then ...
>So maybe the "first" DNA was just a half-helix ... a single strand?
Yeah, perhaps. Indeed, there is a theory
that the very first form of life was such a structure ... a single strand, capable of duplicating genetic information.
>So where's that "Intelligent Cause"?
You asking me?
However, I think that it's reasonable to assume that some ancient RNA-like structure was formed in the chemical soup of the primeval oceans and ...
>And magically formed DNA sequences.
I don't know about magic. Remember that we're talking over 3 billion years ago.
A most fascinating read is:
One upon a time, 3.8 billion years ago

Lezione CLIL di Fisica in lingua inglese Pubblicata il: 13/09/2016 Fonte: DIDA.ORIZZONTESCUOLA.IT Continua a leggere #as red - There are some concepts in physics that people understand intuitively before they've even heard of them. Thermal equilibrium is one such concept, which is so integral to our lives that we tend to understand it by intuition. For instance, let's say you get a hot mug of tea and put it in the freezer. What will happen to the tea? The tea will, of course, cool down. Everyone knows that.... Continua a leggere

In 2008 the Worthley Pond Association (WPA) started a program called LakeSmart. The purpose of LakeSmart is to provide information to shore land owners on how to manage and landscape their property to minimize water runoff that deposits soil and contaminants into the waters of Worthley Pond. The biggest contaminant is phosphorus which is a natural fertilizer that promotes unwanted aquatic plant life such as algae blooms. With 241 Worthley Pond shore land properties being actively used (55 year-round) there is plenty of opportunity for water to run into the pond.
To help control water runoff, we asked the Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District (OCSWCD) to provide technical assistance on how to best protect our pond and maintain property values. WPA made a decision to provide this expertise to landowners free of charge, using funds from our annual Golf Tournament.
How does it work? A landowner needs to contact Dave Clement, the WPA LakeSmart Coordinator, and fill out a questionnaire. A plan is then prepared with the landowner and Michele Windsor from the Oxford County Soil & Water Conservation District on what needs to be done: road, driveway, parking areas, structures and septic system, lawn, recreation areas, footpaths, shorefront and beach area. Once the landowner completes the work plan, a follow up evaluation is done and the property is designated a "LakeSmart Property." Sometimes during the preparation of the plan, a landowner has already been doing work which immediately qualifies the property as LakeSmart certified. Once a property qualifies as "LakeSmart", two signs are provided to the landowner and can be put on the property signifying it has met the LakeSmart criteria.
Sometimes, for personal reasons, a landowner may not wish to follow all the recommendations but whatever is done helps improve pond water quality. Landowners often take several years to complete work and Michele is available to come back and answer questions at any time. She has many handouts and brochures available to show how to do recommended work. She also has lists of plants for different soil types.
What is the plan for 2017? The WPA LakeSmart Team has two goals:
- Increase the number of LakeSmart certified properties from 33 to 45. This includes completing "in progress" certifications and some new ones.
- Using the results of the 2016 Watershed Study as a guide, connect with 30 property owners and establish a LakeSmart plan for each of them that outlines what needs to be done to achieve LakeSmart status.
How will this work get done? Seven LakeSmart Ambassadors have volunteered to connect with Worthley Pond property owners by June 30th, provide them with the results of the Watershed Survey (as they relate to the owner's property) and ask the owner to complete the LakeSmart form.
Once the LakeSmart forms have been collected, Dave Clement and Michele Windsor, our LakeSmart consultant, will schedule in person meetings with those property owners who are eager and willing to understand what they can do to make their property LakeSmart.
Here are the days on which these meetings will be held:
- Friday, June 30th
- Wednesday, July 12th
- Friday, July 28th
- Thursday, August 24th
- Wednesday, September 6th
- Tuesday, September 12th
Questions? Simply contact Dave Clement at 207.562.4611.

Join your fellow LakeSmart Landowners and do your part to protect and preserve Worthley Pond. Thank you!!
Quotes from Landowners about the LakeSmart Program:
"Once I started I was motivated to complete the last step."
"I was worried about increasing my buffer with plants and losing my view….but Michele suggested low shrubs and now I have flowers and Maine BLUEBERRIES and I'm keeping most of the runoff out of the pond while maintaining my view."
"Mumma Bass who has her bed beside my dock tells me every year how much she appreciates having less silt to keep off her nest since I improved our land."
"Since I put borders along my walking paths I do not have to rake the gravel off my lawn and replace it. Several other great ideas."
"Soon after completing my plan and being certified, we had a monsoon storm that raised havoc with several camp roads around the pond. At the height of the storm, I walked my 150 feet of shore frontage that is steep and has ledges. I saw no water entering the pond. LAKESMART DOES WORK!"
"I knew I was doing things to my camp lot so I would not lose soil in the pond. Michele came and started a plan but quickly said you have done great and immediately qualified my property as LakeSmart certified. Left me with a couple of "To Do" items which are now done."
"I have a sense of pride in being LakeSmart certified."
"This is important to me to preserve my property on Worthley Pond for my grandchildren to use."
"I felt relaxed doing this as it made sense and could be done at my leisure."
"Michele was easy to understand so I'm following her plan. She came back twice to answer questions."
"I told Michele when I finally got my sign, Longfellow Gardens and my chiropractor thank you."
"When I got my sign others started asking me about LakeSmart."

Caught in a Storm- The Muslim Way
Written during Hurricane Sandy, this post applies to all afflicted with storms
As Hurricane Sandy heads our way and people all over the East Coast prepare to bunker down, this verse from the Quran comes to mind:
"Certainly, We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss of wealth, lives and fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to (As-Sabireen) those who patiently persevere." ( Surat-al Baqarah, 155)
Give charity. Why do we need to see the disaster before we open our purses and give? You can make a payment online to any reputable charity or use services like wire transfers etc.
The Prophet said: "Give charity without delay, for it stands in the way of calamity." – Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 589
Increase your isthighfaar, your dhikr. The sunnah is to go to the masjid in times of calamity but many of the masajid and Islamic Centers are closed. Be sure to call them to check and see if they are open, otherwise pray in jamaa' at home. Some Islamic Centers have done an excellent job keeping the the community informed with public service announcements.
Go about your normal business- do practical things that will benefit your family. Do all your laundry so if the water does go off, you have clean clothes. Basically tie up your camel. Here is a checklist from the Red Cross. If things get really bad, important papers should be ready to go, there are other real life tips here.
I am finding this a great time to talk to my children about nature, death, grave, afterlife, hisaab, Allah's Love and Mercy and being thankful for what they do have.
Go check on your neighbors, especially the elderly.
We feel so helpless when catastrophes happen overseas and wish we could be there to help out. There will be damage and plenty of opportunity to serve your community.
If your community has experienced a disaster, register on the American Red Cross Safe and Well web site to let your family and friends know about your welfare. You may also call 1-866-GET-INFO to register yourself and your family.
We are keeping all of you who are in the path of this storm in our duas.May Allah shower us with His Mercy. We ask Allah to make us of those who when afflicted with a calamity truly remember and have patience on : Inna lillaahi wa inna ilayhi raaji`oon. We ask only Him to help us in our calamities, tests and trials, to be able to persevere patiently, to overcome, and to ask His reward and anticipate the reward from Him , and to compensate us with that which is better.
Shurayh al Qadi's quotes in his biography, "If I am afflicted with a calamity, I praise Allah for it four times: I praise Him because it wasn't worse than it was, I praise Him when He gives me the patience to bear it, I praise Him for enabling me to say al-istiraj' ('To Allah we belong and to him we will return'; see Surat Al-Baqarah: 154-156 ) in hope of a great reward, and I praise Him for not making it a calamity in my religion." Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A'lam Al-Nubala`
Duas to Recite at the time of Storms:
Allah humma inni asaluka khayrraha wa 'auzubika min sharriha
'O Allah, I ask You for it's goodness and I take refuge with You from it's evil.
O Allah, I ask You for it's goodness, the good wihin it, and the good it was sent with, and I take refuge with You from it's evil, the evil within it, and from the evil it was sent with.'
Allahumma la taqtulna bi-ghadhabik wa la tuhlikna bi-'adhaabik wa 'aafina qabla dhaalik
"O Allah, don't end our lives with Your wrath, and do not make us perish with Your punishment and forgive us before that."
6 responses to "Caught in a Storm- The Muslim Way"
Masha'Allah, what a great & practical article!
Jazakillah ul khair for this, I made sure to post it on my FB timeline for my family to see. Right now they're not taking the storm too seriously, because they think it's all "hype". For Muslims, however, any storm should be a time for self-reflection and lots of supplication.
Asalaamu Alaykum, please make duaa for my family who live in New Jersey, we have no idea if they are safe and well because of the ongoing storm. My sister who is pregnant and only has a few months left and her husband and two children under 10, I am worried for them, May Allah keep them safe and deliver them to safety Ameen.
[…] ma'am, a superstorm." She flatly replied, now taking one of my feet in her lap and preparing to pumice […]


text: Most Australians owe what they know of the Eureka Stockade to Raffaello Carboni, the Italian chronicler of the uprising. Yet they know little about Carboni himself. Variously described as 'quaint' and 'braggart' he has remained an enigma. How many are aware that the high treason charge he faced after Eureka was not his first? That he was naturalised in Victoria? That he associated with the composer Rossini in Rome? In this, the first book-length biography of the exuberant Italian, Desmond O'Grady tracks Carboni from Italy through Germany and England to Ballarat, and then follows him to Calcutta and on to home where he participated in Garibaldi's campaign for a united Italy. For the first time Carboni's viewpoint on Eureka emerges clearly, as does the bitter outcome of his literary ambitions. The man who participated in uprisings on two continents dreamt only of stage curtains on his own ignored plays.

2004 Subaru Baja Crew Cab - Consumer Review

Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Baja Rocks!
By davescomp on
Vehicle2004 Subaru Baja Sport AWD 4dr Crew Cab (2.5L 4cyl 4A)
ReviewThis vehicle has just what I wanted,
and everything I needed. The ride,
space adn comfort of a car, and the
ability to throw whatever I need in the
back. I don't have to worry if I am
hauling something dirty or smelly, and
if it is something long, I can open the
back end. It may seem like a short bed
at first, but with the conversion of
teh back seat and the bed extender, it
is not bad at all. I have brought home
full sized panneling, lumber, lattice,
bags of concrete, and hauled many other
things like plants and muddy yard
tools. All I had to do was spray out
the back end!
Best FeaturesThe four roomy interior. There is more than enough room for all. And of course the all wheel drive in the snow!
Worst FeaturesHeadrests in the back seats limit some views when looking back.

Alright, so I really like this guy, and I need some advice. (I'm sorry for the long story...)
Before Christmas break we started talking, and then he got my number from a friend and started texting me. We texted all Christmas break (most of the time he started texting), and then at a party a couple weeks after we kissed for the first time.
With my student association we have a party every week, and for about 6 weeks we kissed every time there was a party but he never asked me out. Then at another party after we kissed I was like: 'So is this how we're gonna roll, or do you wanna watch a movie sometimes', and he smiled and was like, well if that's what you want :)
But then he stopped texting me... I didn't see him for a week because I was on a skitrip, and after that he just stopped txting me, and we didn't kiss when we were at parties. The thing is though that he never stopped flirting with me, he would always try to touch me or make fun of me or something. But he does that to a lot of girls.
So last week I decided I was just gonna take matters in my own hand. He was at the same party and kept looking over, and touching me when I walked by and stuff. So just before he left I walked over and just kissed him without warning lol. He kissed me back and we kissed again. It didn't change anything though, he is still flirting with me but doesn't text me, and if I text him the conversation dies kinda fast.
I talked to a friend of me, and she thinks he's just insecure and wants all the girls to like him, and not be committed to one girl.
So guys, do I have a chance, and should I go for it? or should I let him be mister player, and ignore his flirting...? HELP
Most Helpful Guy
Follow your heart. Direct contact is always the best way to find out what's for real and what's not. Girls and Guys are capable of giving all kinds of motherf***ing bitch ass signals without realising what they are doing.
So confront him and ask him out. If he likes you he will say yes and if he doesn't, then at least you know for sure. Just don't give him excuse to postpone.00|00|0

New Egypt Speedway Notebook email@example.com
New Egypt Speedway Notebook 6/6/15
By: Pete MacDonald
26 358 Modifieds, 24 Crate Modifieds, 13 Street Stocks and 6 Rookie Sportsman entered the evenings activities.
Was outstanding to see Tad Cox pick up his first Modified win in almost seven years on Saturday. Tad is one of the nice guys in the pit area and none are more deserving than him.
Brandon Grosso won his second Crate Modified race in three days this past Saturday. Interesting stat was Steve Hicks was second both times.
Ryan Godown lost oil pressure in his 747 while leading his heat race. Godown would borrow John McClelland's 44 for the feature ultimately finishing 8th.
Jimmy Horton had his best run of 2015 to date running second to Tad Cox. Horton could have used Tad up a little bit on the final restart to get the lead but didn't.
I've been hearing this for about a month now, but clean air is slowly becoming a big deal. It seems that with the sail panels whoever is out in front has a huge advantage over the car directly behind them.
Two drivers that are starting to rebound their seasons at NES are Johnny Guarino and PJ Oliver. Oliver has a ninth and a fifth over the past two races and Guarino after a second place run on May 23rd and backed it up with a fourth again this past Saturday.
Former Bridgeport Speedway Champion Ryan Watt was making a rare New Egypt Speedway start on Saturday in preparation for Thursday night's Short Track Super Series race. Watt would tangle with Sammy Piazza on the last lap and finish 11th.
Scary moment in Modified Heat 2 when Jimmy Blewett flipped two and a half times in turns one and two, Once Blewett came to a rest some raw fuel ignited causing a quick flash fire, Blewett would walk away but the incident was scary indeed.
NES is back in action on both Thursday and Saturday Night's this week with the "Dirty Jersey 3" Featuring the SSTS Modifieds, 360 Sprint Cars and Crate Modifieds at 7PM, and on Saturday with Crate Modifieds, Sportsman, 4-Cylinders and Vintage cars at 7PM.

Sources tell Salem Weekly that insiders in the City of Salem were provoked by a letter received last week from the Department of Land Conservation and Development Community Services Division (DLCD) that referred to the fact that the Salem River Crossing project – which continues to be planned and advocated, including with a public Open House in June – doesn't meet state regulations for land use.
The letter, addressed to Transportation Planning Manager, Julie Warncke, referred to the problem; the placement of part of the proposed bridge outside the urban growth boundary (UGB) of the city of Salem.
The issue is that being outside the UGB means the project does not follow State goals for 1) agricultural lands, 2) public facilities, 3) urbanization and, 4) the Willamette River Greenway.
This information was available as early as a year ago, when the DLCD gave a presentation outlining the difficulties of the Salem River Crossing plan, stating that it didn't meet land use requirements or statewide planning goals.
The June 23 letter to Warncke suggests two solutions; one is to extend the boundary to include bridge construction and the other is to request and obtain exceptions to written State goals.

Gail Albert Halaban: Paris Views : Paris Views Hardback
by GAIL ALBERT HALABAN
Gail Albert Halaban: Paris Views is a continuation of Halabans 2012 series Out My Window.
In this new set of images, Halaban shifts her focus from New York to Paris while continuing to steady her gaze through the windows of her neighbors and others in the community.
The photographs, taken between 2012 and 2013, feature cinematic atmospheres and intimate domestic stills.
Through Halabans lens, the viewer is welcomed into the private worlds of ordinary people.
The photographs in Gail Albert Halaban: Paris Views explore the conventions and tensions of urban lifestyles, the blurring between reality and fantasy, feelings of isolation in the city, and the intimacies of home and daily life.
In these meticulously directed, window framed versions of reality, Halaban allows the viewer to create his or her own fictions about the characters, activities, and interiors illuminated within.
This invitation to imagine renders the characters and settings both personal and mysterious.
Halaban's seductive photography appeals to the flaneur in all of us.

Fatih moved to Son Moix in the summer, joining from Galatasaray, and the Turkish international was expecting to form part of the regular XI, but has yet to make his debut for the islanders.
In fact, after just two games in charge, new Mallorca coach Bernd Krauss has told him that he does not feature in his plans and that perhaps he should start looking for a new club. Obviously the player is keen to find first team football, admitting a return to the Ali Sami Yen was his preferred choice.
"If they guarantee to pay me the 68 million pesetas (£250,000) that they owe me, I will once again wear the red and yellow shirt," said Fatih.
However, he has also made it clear that he expects the islanders to pay him what he is owed from his signing-on fee.
"If the two clubs can reach an agreement, then I would like to return to Galatasaray. There I won the Uefa Cup and a European Super Cup, two unforgettable memories."

How many tweets could a kitty cat tweet if a kitty cat could tweet tweets?
In my cat Romeo's case, 4,338. I guess it would technically be in my case because I tweet for Romeo. Yah, I do.
But before you judge, you should know that @romeothecat has 9,697 followers. That's a lot to many, paltry to some, but what's important is that these followers have helped me raise $50K for animal rescues in a little over two years. They have also helped drive tens of thousands of visitors to Romeo's blog.
And it's taken 4,338 tweets, give or take a few, to do that.
This got me thinking about what it quantitatively takes to be successful on Twitter. Divided by the 28 months I've been tweeting as Romeo, that's 155 tweets per month, or about 5 tweets per day, every day. All of these are averages, of course, because some days are more active than others.
This has been over two and a half years. I think you can condense this time frame considerably, but you can't skimp on the number of quality interactions. It takes a lot of work and a lot of tweets to build a community and move the dial but you can do it.
So, when individuals and businesses complain that Twitter "doesn't work," I pull out my standard social media success reply: like most things in life, you get out of it what you put into it.

Why You Need a Short Sale Hardship Letter
A "Financial Hardship Letter" is required by most lenders and is the one opportunity you get to explain your situation in personal terms. While they're not looking for your life history, banks want to know they're not getting ripped off and that you have a legitimate reason for requesting help. Use our Sample Short Sale Cover Letter and attach a Short Sale Financial Hardship Letter similar to the Sample provided below.
The Financial Hardship Letter can be used with Short Sales, Loan Modifications and Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure and generally covers the reason for your economic hardship. Most financial problems fall into one of two categories-medical problems or job loss. Although many face foreclosure issues because adjustable rate or balloon mortgages have matured resulting in unaffordable payments, most of these situations are accompanied by unemployment/underemployment or medical issues.
Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Hardship Letter
Defending Foreclosure Lawsuits
Remember, banks are not your buddies and don't want to help you unless it helps them as well. So while its important to honestly explain your financial condition, let them know how your foreclosure alternative will help them. The biggest benefit to the bank is usually avoiding the time and expense of foreclosure lawsuits, but its also important to remind them that if you can't sell your property they'll end up with more real estate they don't want to add to an already bloated inventory with ongoing insurance and tax obligations.
Blame the Banks for the Foreclosure Crisis
Why the Recent Foreclosure Settlement Won't Help
Because there are so many personal factors involved with each borrower, the Sample "Short Sale Hardship" Letter below should only be used as a guide for what type of information to include in your letter. Personalize your situation by letting the bank know there's a reason for your problems and that you're strong and intelligent enough to protect your foreclosure rights and not just roll over and give up.
Remember that with any of the Foreclosure Options we cover, although you can do it all yourself the chances of success greatly improve when you hire qualified and experienced professionals to help you. If you're looking for a loan modification, hire someone who can help you get the job done but make sure you don't pay up front fees and be sure to work with them using the information provided on our website.
If you decide on a short sale, hire a realtor who has experience handling short sales and is someone you can trust. With a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, a brief meeting with an attorney to discuss your legal rights and obligations can only help you avoid problems and maximize your benefits. Avoiding Deficiency Judgments
Sample Short Sale Hardship Letter
This Financial Hardship Letter will summarize our current financial situation, explain how we got here and support the request for a "short sale" of our home to avoid a foreclosure lawsuit with nothing to gain for either side.
Our present difficulties arise from a combination of two factors – recent job loss [or medical problems] and the deterioration of the housing market and our resulting underwater mortgage.
Because of my recent unemployment [or medical problems], our household income has been significantly reduced. In fact, our income has been reduced from $____/month in 2010 to $_____/month currently. Although I hope to return to work as soon as possible, there's nothing imminent and I have no real idea how long it will take. Until that time, we have little or no income and simply can't continue to make loan payments.
Further complicating matters, because we have an underwater mortgage typical relief avenues like opening a home equity line or getting a second mortgage are simply unavailable when there's no equity in the home.
As a result of our reduced income and uncertainty as to when it will improve as well as the unavailability of equity based credit, we have no option but to work with you to sell the property for as close to the mortgage as possible. By agreeing to waive any resulting deficiency balance, which is not collectable anyway, you'll make the transaction feasible for us and fair overall.
The alternative in light of our dire financial condition is a long and expensive foreclosure lawsuit for the bank with the same inability to collect any deficiency balance. Further, rather than disposing of excess inventory through a sale of our home, you'll just end up with another property to maintain and eventually dispose of at a greater loss.
Please let us know if you need any additional financial information.

Make us part of your family!
As the premier in-home care service in south Florida, A Family Member HomeCare appreciates the trust you put in us to make sure your loved one can stay safely and happily at home.
A registered nurse can come to your home for a free assessment of your family's needs. You can even interview the caregiver first to be sure you agree that it's a good match.
Our caregivers are all certified in their fields. But they are hired for more than their skills and expertise. We only hire caregivers who also understand what it means to become a comforting and reliable part of your family. They are individuals who are patient and kind. They understand the special needs of the elderly. And they know how to bring sweetness and good cheer into the home.
Like any good family member, we respond to the needs of each individual. Our in-home care services include activities such as cooking and cleaning, bathing, and transportation. But we also provide companionship and look for stimulating activities to help your loved one stay interested and engaged with life.
In home care is certainly effective for clients who have heart disease, COPD, arthritis, diabetes and other chronic conditions. It is especially helpful, though, for clients with dementia (e.g., Alzheimer's, stroke, Parkinson's). Our caregivers receive extra training from the Southeast Florida Alzheimer's Association so you can rest assured that your loved one is getting state-of-the-art care and support. Our staff understands that a person with memory loss needs most of all to feel safe and loved. Using stage-appropriate communication and activities, our caregivers know how to reduce confusion and respectfully guide clients through the sometimes distressing tasks of daily life (dressing, bathing, personal hygiene).
Give yourself some relief and peace of mind. Give us a call today, at 1-866-992-3264, toll-free. We'd love to be part of your family.

This year, we represented New Zealand in the 14th International Geography Olympiad which was held in Belgrade, Serbia. The Team consisted of Libby Inwood, KeriKeri High School, Sarah Hyne, Otumoetai College, Yan Hao Tay, Burnside High School and Jonty Wispinski, King's High School. Our Team Leaders were Simon Cushen from King's High School and Anna Wilson from Wellington East Girls' College. The competition ran from the 2 - 8 of August and included teams from 42 other countries. We were accommodated in a boarding hostel of a High School in central Belgrade, while the heatwave 'lucifer' was sweeping through Europe. We got to stay with all of the other competitors and ate our meals in the cafeteria, experiencing authentic Serbian food. One of our favourites we ate was Ćevapi, which are similar to meatballs and served in a pita bread.
For the opening ceremony we were taken by bus to the Belgrade Town Hall. We heard speeches from iGeo directors and officials and saw each team cross the stage. We heard from Serbia's most famous Geographer, Jovan Cvijić (well an actor playing him) about Serbia's geography, culture and location at a global scale.
The first assessment was the written response test, which is a very different sort of exam we are used to here in New Zealand. There were six different topics with a range of short answers to respond to. Although it was very different to what we are used to here, it was a different kind of testing which was quite enjoyable. Questions were on soil degradation, high tides and weather forecasting. Such topics were an eye opener to the different types of geography focussed on in different parts of the world.
The field work test was spread over two days - Day 1 was spent out in the field, in 40 degree heat. We spent the day gathering data and drawing a transect map of a recreational forest area in Belgrade. We were also told to collect data on the leaf types which we were told could be used the next day for the field work test. This collection of data was divided into 3 parts. The second day of the field work test took place at the University where we had to write proposals and evaluations for the land-use plans for this recreational area.
The last test we faced over in Serbia was the multimedia test, which consisted of about 40 multi choice questions. This test was probably the most different type of testing when comparing it to New Zealand's testing, however it was the most fun. This exam was done on computers and you could flick through the questions at your own pace, most of the questions were based around what you could see in the picture or what a graph was showing. The content also was very different to what we learn here in New Zealand. There were topics like what has shaped the use of this land?, and from which country does this photo come from?
The cultural night and poster nights were designed to promote the sharing of cultures and traditions; and what each of our countries had to offer with respect to youth tourism. For the cultural night we shared the tale of Maui fishing up New Zealand - a cultural and somewhat geographically-related myth. The poster presentation was set up so that each of the team members could both present their own poster and go visit other countries' posters. The theme was of youth tourism, and our poster was designed as a map of New Zealand with annotated postcards, displaying pictures and short descriptions about each of the 10 locations which we had selected around New Zealand, which we felt were most appealing to youth.
During the trip and competition we went on numerous excursions, around Belgrade and outside of the city's immediate vicinity. This included an open aired bus tour around the city. We were able to observe the lively nature of the city from majestic skyscrapers and modern architecture, to run down and damaged buildings from wars past all within close proximity to each other. We also visited Novi Sad, Serbia's second largest city, where we visited an orthodox church, local bakeries, market places and toured around the central streets.
On our final night in Belgrade, the closing ceremony took place. There was a number of speeches from the organisers and local dignitaries. Every country was then individually asked to come up to the stage and receive their certificates. This would have been one of the most proudest moments for the New Zealand Team, holding up our flag and showing the world who we are. This was followed by the medal ceremony. Unfortunately this year New Zealand did not win any medals, however needless to say everyone in the team performed outstandingly well, all finishing convincingly strong at a global level. Following the closing ceremony, a local band from Belgrade performed to everyone, we were able to dance and say our goodbyes to many of our new friends we made during the competition.
Besides the tests and cultural related activities, we had plenty of time to spend with participants from other countries. iGeo was not only a competition testing our geographic ability, but it was a trip where we each made many new friends and whom we had a very good time with over the course of the iGeo experience.
Our impressions of Serbia would be just how hospitable Serbian locals are and how this reflects the true nature of their culture. All volunteers at the iGeo were all keen to get to know us and many were very interested to know more about New Zealand. Serbians were passionate about their culture and history and keen to inform us more about what their country was about. Belgrade's architecture was very eye opening.
As a team we would like to say a big thank you to the Royal Society of New Zealand for their support of our team. Also to LOWER for their sponsorship of our team uniforms. We would also like to thank all of our Geography Teachers and the groups in our local communities who helped us with fundraising.

Berkley Hart and Me in Camarillo, Saturday, Aug. 20th
There's a great concert series called Camarillo Café Concerts in the CA town of the same name. It's around an hour and change north of Los Angeles. I've appeared there as a headliner when Gary and Kathy Lynch were running the concert. Now it's been taken over by my dear friends Peter Krantz and Becky Glenn. Besides being two of the most vigorous supporters of songwriters and musicians I've ever known, they have totally revitalized this concert series.
This time I'm opening for Berkley Hart, the acclaimed duo from San Diego, featuring Jeff Berkley and Calman Hart. Both Berkley and Hart emerged from the Southern California coffeehouse circuit, each building sizeable followings of their own before joining forces. As a duo for more than ten years now, they have become fixtures on the folk circuit, making appearances at the Kerrville Folk Festival, as well as playing some of folk's most prestigious venues including The Birchmere and The Bluebird Café.
I've known these guys for some time, but this is the first time I've appeared with them. If you've heard them before, you know how great they are. If you haven't, you're in for a treat. Take a leisurely drive up the 101 and come join us for this cool concert.
Here's the Facebook event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/581569875350547/permalink/609562089217992/
It's on Saturday, August 20 Doors 7:30 PM, music starts at 8. No advance ticket sales. Arrive early for preferred seating. $20 Donation requested at the door. Potluck dessert buffet at intermission.
Hope to see you there!

Factory Working
Auxilium have made it their mission to minimise waste by giving salvaged items a new lease of life. And they made waves at this year's Clerkenwell Design Week with their first range, Candy Collection, a range of charming colourful industrial lighting.
Candy Collection pendant lights, price based on required finish, Auxilium
Functional factory lighting, these aluminium light shades hung for decades in a cable manufacturing plant in Cologne. When they unfortunately became unfit for purpose, the lights were due to be disposed of. But it was Auxilium to the rescue! After a journey of over 400 miles, the pendants have been housed in Auxilium's London workshop whilst they have undergone a complete transformation.
The Candy Collection lamps are available in 13 sugar sweet and bright buzzy colours, but there is also the option to colour match to your interior scheme too. And they're available in matt, gloss and aluminium finishes. As these are salvaged items, some of the shades are slightly misshapen and Auxilium have deliberately not beaten out some of the original dents. These physical reminders of the shades' history really add to their character.
The quirky characterful Candy Collection is a hit with us. But which colour and finish will you choose?

I highly recommend Wendy Brentnall as a music teacher. She has inspired my son by encouraging him in ...
On retirement from work I promised myself that I would learn how to play the guitar which is something I had been thinking about for years. I was fortunate that I chose Wendy's Music School. My tutor,Scott, has assisted me greatly with clear, informative lessons and has also shown the necessary patience with me. I appreciate the fact that there is no pressure and Scott's calming influence has been most beneficial. I'm looking forward to many years playing my guitar and thank Wendy and Scott for their input. The saying "You are never too old to learn" is so true.
My son has been learning piano from Wendy for more than one year, and he loves it so much! Wendy is an amazing teacher and obviously has a lot of experiences of teaching young kids. She has been passionate, patient and very helpful. I have recommended her to my son's friend as well and the little boy absolutely loves her lesson too. Thanks Wendy for all the efforts you put to build up the interest of my son in playing piano and in enjoying music!
When my 9-year old daughter Isabella showed an interest in taking up piano, Wendy Brentnall was recommended to me as a teacher who was patient, fun and skilled. Wendy is a gifted pianist and instructor whose passion for music inspires audiences and students alike. Over the past 12 months she has identified and nutured Isabella's musical strengths and used this enthusiasm to address some of the more challenging areas of music theory. Wendy has truly connected with Isabella by tailoring her teaching methods to where she knows will keep Isabella's interest. Her ability to use a range of tools (including iPhone apps), insight and a sense of humor to teach and instil her methods is truly impressive to watch. She also makes learning piano fun and interesting by allowing Isabella to choose some of her own pieces, and by using rewards to give her a sense of accomplishment. She even engages Isabella in timely challenges – from her first Piano Preparatory Exam (with a Final score of 100%) to the Christmas concert – to give her the skills and confidence needed with her instrument! Over the last year, she has also inspired and motivated Isabella to strive for new goals in her playing repertoire! Wendy has helped my daughter to appreciate the joy of piano playing, confidently understand music theory and, most importantly, enjoy music and love to go to lessons! Her piano playing is a welcome addition to our home and it is lovely to hear the progress she continues to make under Wendy's instruction. Wendy is a gifted and enthusiastic teacher and I would highly recommend her as a piano teacher capable of helping your child develop a love for music, self-confidence and an understanding of the dedication and practice necessary to do well with their chosen instrument. – Sarah Riitano, Parent

It's KARMA for stealing the old mailbox. genius.
curryndricegirll | 0
Oh wow. There's two ways to read this. The first time I read it, I thought he was replacing his mailbox because he stole the old one, which is why he said karma. Then I reread it, so someone stole the old mailbox, so I needed a new one. Bad wording on the OP's part.

steve is right, you just need to work on your reading comprehension.

@ Curry Erm, Karma for stealing his own mailbox? It's called common sense and it was worded fine. You're just dumb and not using your brain. Why would someone steal something that they own, then buy something to replace it? Then, once they replace it with the new one, it magically goes away and the old one is back on?

I used to think that I was an expert at pretty much everything. I especially enjoyed having opinions about topics that I had absolutely no experience in. I still do this, to a lesser extent. Naturally, this extends to my childcare skills as equally as it does my take on global politics, cooking and exercise (or lack thereof). There is an obvious problem with taking such a narrow view of the world and the experience of others. It makes for a rather isolated and lonely existence if I am just dead set on remaining certain that MY way is the right way. What am I trying to accomplish in life if all I want to be is right? Am I not here to have a continually refreshed experience? Can I do that if I'm not open to new ideas and experiences? I used to brazenly declare that only "seeing is believing" while at the same time not truly understanding what perception actually was. I was so concerned with being right and justified in my opinion about everything and I sought validation everywhere. I sought it in Facebook likes and the backslapping of like-minded cynics. I have come to find, lately, that the more open I am to the experience of others the less alone I feel. I used to look at some of Jack's behaviors and huddle alone in my corner and go "This is NOT normal!" until I started to talk to more and more parents. Friends with kids of all ages, people I'd meet at the park and the like. Once I'd open up to the ideas of others that were grounded in the TRUTH of experience, I found that not only was Jack's behavior completely run of the mill, but it was actually pretty tame by comparison to other kids his age. I have also been blessed by having my own parenting complimented, which while not necessary is really nice to hear. It's a comfort that is not sought and I am now capable of providing to myself. My own experience has shown me that I'm a good father. That's the data.
I stress EXPERIENCE, as I've come to find that is really the only truly valuable currency in life. Especially in an age in which the vast amount of information that is readily available has completely changed the nature of what we once considered intelligence. Intelligence is no longer the retention of information, though perhaps it never was. Intelligence is creativity with such information or how to relate that information on a personal level. For example, I could tell you exactly what I think about skydiving and how you'd have to be crazy to even attempt it, but I've never been skydiving. My wife, Allison, has. She could tell you all about it based on the experience she has and it would be a much more truthful point of view. Experience, not opinion.
I, like Jack, used to just sit and yell at the birds. I would tell them all how stupid they were. All I ever saw was them stealing my bread, and I was convinced that they didn't really want to be doing this. They were simply ignorant of a better way, one that I was going to educate them on. I never bothered to look up and see them flying freely in the bright, blue sky. I never bothered to notice that they could do something I could not do because they were not afraid to embrace an idea as seemingly impossible as defying gravity. They enjoyed this freedom because they knew no other way. A freedom I longed for, but never knew how to achieve. A freedom the birds employed out of habit because that is simply what birds do. They fly without worrying about whether or not it pleases another to do so or whether they are right in doing so. They just fly. Turns out all I really had to do was stop judging them, allow the weight of my arrogance, my selfishness, my righteous indignation and my bad attitude to fall away. Once I could do that, I could remain open to new ideas and new experiences. Once I could do THAT, I was well on my way to flying.

My friend wants to build a site, and Im strongly trying to get him to use Wordpress (or another CMS). His site will focus on Bird Watching. It will need to do the following:
- Picture (gallery) (of his own creation)
- User uploaded pictures
- List of user spotted Birds
- Post articles (ie a blog)
It doesnt sound too complex, but rather build it from scratch Ive got to believe any number of CMS would be able to do these features.
Any suggestions?

The Whip Angels - by Diane Bataille (Wife of Georges Bataille 'Story of the Eye' author)
Linda's Strange Vacation - by Marcus Huttning
About this book: 'The Whip Angels' and 'Linda's Strange Vacation' are long-lost forbidden classics of explicit literary erotica, first published clandestinely in 1950s/60s Paris, and now restored to their original place in the history of extreme erotica. Both books are rites-of-passage stories throbbing with stunning sexual manias, lusts and perverse twists.
'The Whip Angels' blazes with erotic excess and incandescent cruelty as Victoria is schooled in the ways of whips and bondage by incestuous guardians. Attributed to Diane Bataille (wife of Georges Bataille, author of 'Story of the Eye').
'Linda's Strange Vacation' starts out as Linda arrives at her uncle's beachside villa for a 'vacation' and is immediately seduced by Lola the mistress of the house - she is then introduced to more and more increasingly bizarre activities - climaxing in an orgy of staggering diversity.

Jennifer Lopez, Casper Smart NOT Hooking Up, Despite Report
Jennifer Lopez and Casper Smart are NOT hooking up, despite an inaccurate report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We're told it's "not true."
According to Life & Style, Lopez "just can't quit her ex," despite having broken up with him in August. A so-called "source" tells the tabloid, "She called him while she was in Las Vegas in November and they got together for a secret hookup." The publication's clearly ill-informed source further claims, "Right now, she doesn't want anyone to know she's hanging out with Casper again," and would like to be thought of as a "strong woman who's moving onwards and upwards. "She really loves Casper. She can't let him go," contends the outlet's questionable insider, adding, "Her closest friends don't think she'll ever end things for good with him."
But Gossip Cop investigated, and a source close to Lopez exclusively assures us the article is simply "not true." In fact, we're told Smart wasn't even in Vegas when he and Lopez supposedly hooked up.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time Life & Style has concocted an entirely fabricated report about the singer. Just a few days ago, Gossip Cop called out the often unreliable tabloid for falsely alleging Lopez was getting back together with ex-husband Marc Anthony. And shortly before that tall tale, we busted the publication for wrongly claiming Lopez was back together with Ben Affleck. Clearly, the fabricators at that magazine are running out of ideas — and men.

One day after I wrote about "Best Performing Cities" as per Milken, here's more "best/worst/greatest/etc." data for 2015. This is 2015's Best and Worst Cities for jobs, via WalletHub. The methodology is on that link, and there's a Forbes summary here. Number 1 is Seattle, which isn't surprising — I think Seattle was No. 11 or 12 on yesterday's "Best Performing" list — and is also a cool, if expensive, place to live. After that, the list falls down a little bit in terms of place that a snooty person might want to live; Des Moines is No. 2 (wind energy is everything, yo) and the next two are Gilbert, Arizona (a fast-growing city) and Sioux Falls, SD (which has jobs, but a coastal person would likely scoff at living there). In the top 10, there's three cities from Arizona — Gilbert, Chandler, and Scottsdale. (Peoria, AZ is at No. 14, too.)
You can always make an argument that all these types of studies should be taken with a grain of salt, because where you live is ultimately about more than your job — it's about access to family, to airports, to culture, to what values you hold, etc. Very few decisions in the world are made from one single factor, so these things are always inherently incomplete. Still, there are interesting points.
Look at these two sections of the WalletHub data, for example:
Highest median annual income — when adjusted for cost of living, which is crucial. I think that's a good stat to look into. For example, if you read through the WalletHub stuff, basically the most jobs and the highest-paying jobs are in DC, Boston, and San Francisco. But those are coastal places that are desirable to live, so your overall cost of living will be higher. If you adjust for cost of living, which more people should do when thinking about this type of discussion, you're down to Plano, Gilbert, Fremont, Chandler, and Overland Park — one Texas (naitch), two Arizona, a section of Cali, and a suburb of Kansas City.
Then, if you look at housing affordability, you're at Corpus Christi, Plano, Fort Wayne, Gilbert, and Peoria — two Texas (naitch), two Arizona (naitch for this survey), and a semi-random city in Indiana.
Take those two things together and it would appear, on surface, that if you want a bunch of disposable income and a cheaper house (with potentially more land), you should live in Gilbert, Arizona or Plano, TX.
Of course, that's not the entire ball of wax on how to read this — but still, it's interesting to consider.
Per Zillow, FYI, Gilbert homes average about $261K and Plano is around $256K, give or take. For contrast, Boston is around $458K — nearly double.
Often-ignored fact: we talk a lot about "two Americas" in terms of haves and have-nots or race/gender relations, etc. In reality, almost every slice of America is two distinct groups, including where you live and where you can live, etc.

After dropping 3-of-4 games against the New York Yankees, the Boston Red Sox find themselves with a 5-8 record, which puts them in the cellar of the American League East standings. However, the Red Sox should not consider themselves inept at any point, as there are still 149 games left in the 2014 regular season. With a series against the Chicago White Sox set to begin on Tuesday evening, the Red Sox should band together and find ways to resurge against a struggling White Sox team.
Although the White Sox possess a 7-6 record, they have gone 5-5 in their last ten games. The offense has been able to carry the team through the early portion of the season, as they are second in the MLB with a .284 team batting average and a league-high .356 on base percentage. Alexei Ramirez leads the team with a .420 batting average, while rookie Jose Abreu has hit four home runs and has driven in 14 runs. If the Red Sox are able to slow down a surging White Sox lineup, then a stronger Red Sox pitching staff could easily dismantle a struggling White Sox rotation (the White Sox staff enters Tuesday's game with a 5.66 ERA).
Experience is another factor that will help the Red Sox as they face the White Sox for the first time this season. Getting the ball for the Red Sox on Tuesday is Jake Peavy. Peavy played parts of four seasons with the White Sox before being traded to the Red Sox in July 2013. In his lone start against his former team in 2013, Peavy held the White Sox to just two runs on seven hits with four strikeouts in seven innings of work, securing a win after the Red Sox trounced the White Sox, 7-2 on Augh. 31. Essentially, if Peavy can continue pitching well on Tuesday, the Red Sox will have a legitimate shot at slowing down a surging White Sox offense.
In addition to a young pitching staff and a lack of experience on all fronts, the White Sox are a victim of many runs as a result of their poor handling of runners in scoring position. Opponents have hit .336 against the White Sox with RISP, scoring 63 runs in the process. With a poor output with RISP during the 2014 season, the Red Sox can capitalize at US Cellular Park during this series, with the possibility of driving in large sums of runs throughout the series.
If the Red Sox want to get on the right track during the 2014 season, they need to defeat the White Sox by capitalizing on experience and hitting with runners in scoring position. After starting the season with a 5-8 record, the Red Sox will have to strike early and often in order for them the right the ship in the early going of the 2014 season.

From a man's standpoint, it's hard not to love how Miu Miu has brought the retrolicious feminine charm back to the runway.
With the advent of modern fabrics, palettes and cuts, there is a certain notion that the timeless vision of femininity, perpetuated by style icons such as Marilyn Monroe, has been relegated to the lookbooks of history. Miu Miu's latest Fall Winter collection revisits the good old 70s' with the androgynous, oversized pantsuit paired with gigantic collars and froufrou ties.
With the high fashion transposition of the boyfriend's tee concept, Miuccia Prada implores women to have fun with what they wear. The pieces exude a spirit of youthful quirkiness tempered with decorum and poise from the golden age. Solid-coloured pieces range from double-breasted suits to suede tunic coats, while highlights feature Art Deco prints including floral, kaleidoscope, geometric, cubist and polka dot motifs.
My favourite look from the collection was the pantsuit with royal purple, red and gold peacock motifs, which brought to mind a grand vision of the magnificent bird grazing in a mystical Shangri-la.

Taurean singer Billy Joel and his partner Alexis Roderick recently announced that they are expecting a baby this summer. Joel's only other child, Alexa Ray, is 29 years old. This is astrologically significant since it indicates the return of a Saturn cycle for Billy Joel and having children. (Most women, of course, couldn't accomplish this feat without massive hormonal intervention.)
At the time of Joel's announcement, Saturn was at 4 Sagittarius, transiting his 5th house of children. Alexa Ray was born on December 29, 1985, when Saturn was just under 5 Sagittarius. The new baby will be born at around the time of Saturn's station at 28 Scorpio 17, squaring Joel's natal Saturn at 29-1/2 Leo, and less than 6 degrees from the exact place that Saturn transited when Alexa Ray was born, still in his 5th house.
While not technically exact, this is an excellent, straightforward example of the repetitive nature of Saturn's transit cycles. Though most people will not experience such a striking repetition of similar events!
Billy Joel was born on May 9, 1949 at 9:30 AM in the Bronx, rated AA (from his birth certificate) on Astrodatabank.

Adam and Eve vs Tyrannosaurus Rex
The Big Valley Creation Science Museum has opened its doors this week in Big Valley, Alberta, featuring displays on how men once walked among dinosaurs, a giant model of Noah's Ark, and a set of English scrolls tracing the family of King Henry VI back to the Garden of Eden.
Like its controversial counterpart in Kentucky, this museum will explain how the world and all its animals, of every epoch, were created at the same time by God. Evidently, a typical day for Adam and Eve involved staying one step ahead of the velociraptors.
That we still have to deal with this bunk in the 21st century is beyond the pale for a society that has gained so much advantage from its science and technology. Christians would be so much better off doing what they do best – helping the poor, doing charity work in their own communities, providing aid and assistance in disaster zones, and helping some people to achieve more spirituality in their life – than trying, and failing (in ways that open themselves up to ridicule), to explain how Genesis could have occurred as written in scripture.

Well said.
You have to ask yourself something.
How many non-Christians/Jews believe the world was created in 6 calendar days roughly 6000 years ago?
I mean, if there is any science behind that at all – at all – then you would think that some scientist somewhere who was not already a believer would have come up with something – anything – to support the so-called "science" behind creationism. However, it is only those who already believe in the literal truth of the Bible that "discover" any "science" behind creationism.
Sorry. I don't buy it.
I respect the faith of those who genuinely believe the truth of that story, just as I respect the faith of those natives who genuinely believe there was an actual raven who created the world or the Buddist or other, but let's not allow ourselves to voluntarily enter another Dark Ages by replacing science with belief just because we don't like the results that science gives us. No other theory of how the world started and how life and humankind began has been accepted across different cultures and backgrounds. That is very telling.
The Creation Museum is a sad statement of some Christians disdain for knowledge and truth. But it took Europeans Christians centuries before they accepted that the sun and stars did not revolve around the earth and realized that their faith could not be shaken by scientific truth. It has only been 250 years or so since geology first started telling Christians the earth was millions of years old at least and only 150 years since Darwin opened our eyes to evolutionary reality, so maybe we'll have to give those folks some more time I suppose.
# on 29 May 2007 at 6:28 pm
Has anyone thought that maybe they all have it wrong? Just because a person is a Christian does not mean that he even believes his Bible.
Case in point. It has been pre concluded by most Christians that the earth was made in 6 "calander" days. When we look at the bible however , the sun moon and stars were not created til day 4. So , what orbit was used to constitute a 24 hour cycle. The first 3 days where represented by darkness , or absence of God , to "light" , the Spirit of God moving upon the face of the waters. So God defines the day as the evening , and the morning.The problem comes when we limit a day as only a 24 hour cycle , and when we limit creation , ( physical , and spiritual) in it's entirety to a limited time frame.
Case in point .
In Jeremiah
4 23: I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
24: I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly.
25: I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled.
26: I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness,and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the LORD, and by his fierce anger.
27: For thus hath the LORD said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end.
28: For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black: because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.
This passage shows clearly that prior beings resided on the earth, and that God rendered a judgement on that world.
Paul ascribes creation to both phyical ,and spiritual.
Colossians 1:16
For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Lucifer and his Angels had already fallen , and expelled from where ? wasn't it from heaven or Gods domaine? This wasw created long before the recreation of a fallen world.
We see in Jeremiah that there was no man , but there where cities that God made desolate , and that the birds of the heavens where fled before man was ever created .
Hebrews 1:1: God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2: Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Did anyone notice that worlds is in the plural?
This has all come down the the limited definitions that man has imposed on the use of any given word in the Bible , weather we are talking about a day as constrained to only applying to a 24 hour cycle , or creation , as only referring to physical creation.
If you notice Gods choice of words when he speaks in the past tense referring to , "God created the heavens and the earth".
In the past tense again when he states that " the earth was without form and void " , and in the past tense again when he says " and darkness was upon the face of the deep.
It is evident that God is not the babbler , man has tampered with the language intended to explain what actually transpired , and then man went and published a perverted version of creation.
The Church now has to redefine a lie they have defended by interjecting more lies to their theory instead of believing Gods word.
Prov:23:9: Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words.
Prov:23:16: Yea, my reins shall rejoice, when thy lips speak right things.

When the weather starts to warm up in northern New Jersey, it's almost impossible to not want to spend all of your waking hours enjoying the outdoors. Imagine how much better that would be if you added a professionally-landscaped patio to your backyard?
Benefits of Having an Outdoor Patio
There are more advantages to adding an outdoor patio or entertainment area to your Bergen County home than just having an attractive place to enjoy being outside.
- Increase property value/curb appeal. Your new outdoor patio will likely increase the value of your home if it comes time to put it on the market. Outdoor entertainment areas and outdoor kitchens are extremely popular and such a feature can add thousands to your the resale price of your home. If your patio is visible from the street, you'll also get the benefit of added curb appeal.
- Expand your living space. Adding an outdoor patio extends your living space. It essentially gives you an extra outdoor room.
- Reduce energy costs. By adding an outdoor kitchen and/or outdoor entertainment area, you can save on your summer cooling bills. After all, you're not adding all that cooking heat to the interior of your home.
Outdoor Patio Materials
Patios and outdoor entertainment areas can be constructed using a variety of materials. Below are just a few of the more commonly-used choices in Bergen and Passaic County:
- Stone – Natural stone adds an earthy beauty to any outdoor patio. Stone can be rough-edged slate, rounded stones or even polished surfaces like granite for your outdoor kitchen counter tops.
- Brick – Brick patios have a manicured, uniform look that is especially well-suited for traditional and colonial-style homes.
- Pavers – Individual pavers are made of concrete, but have the look of stone. They are also more affordable than natural stone and have a more uniform shape and design.
Why Hiring a Landscape Company Makes Sense
Adding a backyard patio is an investment you want to be able to enjoy for years to come. Done properly, your outdoor patio area should be as beautiful ten years from now as it is when you first install it. However, installation mistakes can lead to water drainage problems, uneven surfaces and crumbling stone or brick. You need an experienced Bergen County outdoor patio contractor, like Borst Landscape & Design, to install your patio properly and insure that your backyard entertainment area is sound, leveled properly and secure.
We specialize in patio design and installation, and we've been helping Bergen County homeowners beautify the exterior of their homes since 1989. Whether you want to add an outdoor kitchen, a terraced deck, a pool surround or a private patio retreat, we can help you. We can design the patio for you or take your ideas and turn them into reality.
