NOW Real Foods: Empowering Healthier Lives Since 1968
Back in the early 60's, the health food industry was in its infancy. "Health foods" were obscure and peculiar, and health food enthusiasts were broadly categorized as hippies and granola-heads. During these raw and formative early years, entrepreneur Elwood Richard started a small chain of health food stores in the Chicago area called Health House. A degreed physical chemist, Elwood's collegiate research had focused on enhancing physical performance through the use of healthy foods and nutritional supplements. The knowledge he acquired during this time left him a firm believer in the benefits of natural products for health and quality of life, and laid the early foundation for his life-long love of nutrition and health foods.
After losing customers to a local supermarket due to the high cost of his products, Elwood realized that in order for his health food stores to survive and thrive they needed to offer affordable natural products. Healthy foods wouldn't last if no one could afford them. So he started his own natural products manufacturing company to supply his stores, which afforded him complete control over product cost and quality. NOW Foods was born!
Today NOW is still owned by the Richard family and has grown to become one of the natural product industry's most recognizable brands, providing one of the most extensive lines of natural products available. NOW has always remained true to Elwood's original vision to meet consumer need for health foods by offering affordable, high quality natural products.
NOW's Manufacturing, Distribution & Testing Facilities
As one of the natural products industry's premier manufacturers, NOW owns and operates several manufacturing and distribution facilities in the United States and Canada. NOW is headquartered in Bloomingdale, Illinois, where their corporate offices and primary manufacturing facility are located. NOW also operates a cutting-edge distribution facility in the neighboring town of Roselle. To better service their west coast customers NOW also operates a manufacturing and distribution facility in Sparks, Nevada. Both the Bloomingdale and Sparks facilities also house state-of-the-art testing laboratories, where NOW's quality technicians use the latest analytical instrumentation to perform approximately 16,000 tests on ingredients and finished products each month.
Bloomingdale, Illinois Manufacturing & Distribution Facility
Built in 1998 and designed by Louis Richard, founder Elwood Richard's brother, Now Real Foods' Bloomingdale manufacturing and distribution plant is a 263,000 square foot facility with a thermostatically-controlled, space-maximizing warehouse and temperature-sensitive storage and refrigeration areas. Their primary manufacturing facility also contains several in-house laboratories, including gas chromatography, analytical, microbiological, and sensory labs. Their in-house laboratories help us to expedite the testing of raw materials, ingredient samples, and finished products, and afford their technicians a level of quality control that is virtually unmatched within the natural products industry. Their Bloomingdale facility is at the heart of their manufacturing and distribution network and strongly supports their ability to achieve consistent levels of product quality, efficacy, and safety, as well as their ability to meet increasing consumer demand.
Sparks, Nevada Manufacturing & Distribution Facility
Built in 2011, Now Real Foods' Western Manufacturing & Distribution facility in Sparks, Nevada is a modern warehouse with softgel, capsule, tablet, and powder manufacturing lines, as well as an advanced suite of analytical laboratories that allow for rapid and comprehensive testing of both incoming ingredients and outgoing finished products. The Sparks facility is also on the cutting-edge of green building technology. NOW's Commitment to Sustainability NOW's Sparks, Nevada facility is a GMP-certified green facility built to adhere to LEED program specifications, which supports NOW's focus on environmental and sustainability initiatives. Their Sparks facility is LEED Silver certified.
Roselle, Illinois Distribution Center
Opened in 2017 in response to continued growth and increasing consumer demand, NOW's 200,000 square foot Roselle distribution facility is carefully planned to support long-term growth and expansion. They moved their distribution operations from their Bloomingdale manufacturing plant to Roselle to better support their ongoing growth and future expansion.

Local Need-based Assistance
When disaster strikes close to home NOW stands ready to help their friends and neighbors with charitable contributions and employee involvement. An example of their charitable outreach is the assistance NOW employees provided to several communities devastated by powerful tornadoes in 2013, including the town of Washington, Illinois. NOW employees donated food, clothing, and their time assisting with relief efforts. As a successful business member of their local community, they firmly believe it's their responsibility to help those in need whenever they can, but especially when the need is greatest.
Awards and Recognition
At NOW, they understand the importance of doing whatever is in their power to not only preserve their environment, but to improve it as well. This begins with education, vision and the collective efforts of individuals willing to make that commitment. Over the years NOW has maintained their commitment to beautifying our planet and protecting our remaining natural resources. From progressive recycling programs to community-based activities, they'll continue to do their part to promote a higher level of social responsibility.
Reducing NOW's Carbon Footprint
At NOW, they work with various organizations to assess their impact on the environment, one of which is Pratt Industries, their supplier of cardboard boxes. Each year Pratt sends NOW a report estimating how much they've reduced their carbon footprint through the use of recycled cardboard.

Model X Design Studio
Model X Design Studio
Is it time to revive this thread?
My guess - April 1 for all us fools!
I think that Elon said there would be 100 beta MX cars on road in December. Has anyone seen or heard any information about these? It seems like someone would have spotted one.
Back roads, far from civilization and this forum ... ;p
There have been rumors that the Model X or Model 3 would be revealed at the NAIAS Detroit Auto Show less than a month from now. I sure hope it happens.
@3seeker, I've heard that rumour too and I hope it's true. However, I don't believe that (in Tesla's short past) they have ever announced or revealed any vehicle at an Auto Show. They appear to prefer to have their own special events where they make their announcements without having to compete with larger auto manufacturers. Don't be too disappointed if you don't hear anything at the Detroit Auto Show.
@vandacca - I agree it seems really unlikely they'd do a reveal at the show. I think they'll just push autopilot and dual motor. It is a significant step and they are wise to ride it for a while.
No reason to work your staff so hard through the holidays to prep an event (and it should be a huge event when it comes) for a car that nobody who isn't already on the list won't get until at least several months after the 2016 NAIAS.
Thanks for pointing that out. I guess I'll have to wait a little longer.
In the meantime, I hope TSLA resumes its upward momentum. The stock has taken a beating for months now... We need more good news in addition to the Australia & Indonesia expansion.
@3seeker - Believe me I am dying to get more information on the MX. Wife wants me to replace my car sooner than later, so I could really use some concrete information to help keep her on board with the wait.
The booth size is about half that for Smart. Don't know if there's room for one whole car.
It's the same size booth as they normally have. It has room for 3 cars. In the past two years they have had 2 Model Ses and one other display, either the bare platform or Model X prototype.
Asked guys in shop! Early 2015;)
Well, it will be faskinatin' to see what they throw up there!
Full info on X?

(Yes, there are some details omitted here, such as that since a tuple is immutable, it is hashable and can be used as a dictionary key. But I think that is used fairly seldomly.)
Then I came across Haskell and it dawned on me: Was this just a poorly mangled feature from Haskell? I don't know the history, but it looks a bit like it. You see, Haskell also has list and tuples. Lists are delimited by square brackets, and tuples are delimited by parentheses:
let alist = [1, 2, 3] let atuple = (1, 2, 3)(Technically, in Python, tuples are not delimited by parentheses, but they often appear that way.) But the difference is that Haskell does not use parentheses for any other purpose, such as delimiting function arguments. It uses spaces for that. (So it looks more like a shell script at times.)
Python: len([1, 2, 3]) Haskell: length [1, 2, 3]But in Haskell, tuples are not mutable lists and lists are not mutable tuples. Tuples and lists are quite different but complementary things. A list can only contain elements of the same type. So you can have lists
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] ["a", "b", "c", "d"]but not
[1, 2, "a"]A tuple, on the other hand, can contain values of different types
(1, 2, "a") (3, 4, "b")A particular type combination in a tuple creates a new type on the fly, which becomes interesting when you embed tuples in a list. So you can have a list
[(1, 2, "a"), (3, 4, "b")]but not
[(1, 2, "a"), (3, 4, 5)]Because Haskell is statically typed, it can verify this at compile time.
If you think in terms of relational databases, the term tuple in particular makes a lot of sense in this way. A result set from a database query would be a list of tuples.
The arrival of the namedtuple also supports the notion that tuples should be thought of as combining several pieces of data of different natures, but of course this is not enforced in either tuples or named tuples.
Now, none of this is relevant to Python. Because of duck typing, a database query result set might as well be a list of lists or a tuple of tuples or something different altogether that emulates sequences. But I found it useful to understand where this syntax and terminology might have come from.
Looking at the newer classes set and frozenset, it might also help to sometimes think of a tuple as a
frozenlist instead, because this is closer to the role it plays in Python.

Tomorrow, February 1st, is National Change Your Password Day (according to Gizmodo). We're in full favor of any efforts to improve online security and spread awareness of the dangers of using the same passwords everywhere. So, it's time to roll up your sleeves to make 3 positive changes for National Change Your Password Day:
1. Change the password of your primary email address.
The Yahoo attacks on January 30th show how critical this step is. Hackers attempted to use data from other breaches (such as the Adobe breach) to try to gain access to Yahoo email accounts, likely trying to leverage the email to access more critical accounts. Our email accounts are the keys to our digital world. Access to your primary email address could lead to the compromise of accounts like online banking or your online identity. That's why it's very important to keep your email address well-protected. With an unprecedented spree of hacks in 2013 and no signs of them slowing down in 2014, updating the password for your email address keeps you one step ahead. If you use the same password elsewhere, this is imperative. Follow our simple steps to generate a new one with LastPass.
Bonus task: Enable multifactor authentication for your email if you can.
2. Change your master password.
If you've been using the same master password for LastPass since 2009, time to update it. Over the years you may have logged in through friends' computers, at hotel lobbies, at libraries, maybe at Internet cafes – any of these untrusted computers could have had malware or key logging software, putting your master password at risk. Check out our tips on creating a strong master password, and update it today by launching your LastPass vault from the LastPass icon, and open your "Settings" menu to enter a new one.
Bonus task: Enable multifactor authentication with LastPass.
3. Share this message!
You know about secure password management – but many people don't. Please tell someone about using a password manager. Everyone should know that "improving their online security" is as easy as downloading a password manager like LastPass. With passwords centralized in one place (don't store them in browsers!) and with a handy password generator to make unique, strong passwords, a password manager is the lazy way to rock your online life. What if those silly "bad password lists" were no longer a thing?
Well, it starts here, and you can be the change.

Bryant Outshines Paul as Lakers Clinch Pacific Division TitleThe L.A. Lakers clinched the Pacific Division title with a 107-104 win over the New Orleans Hornets. This game was considered by some people to be a referendum on the MVP race, though I disagreed with that sentiment all along and will not change my tune now even though Kobe Bryant--who I think should win the award--not only won the war (i.e., the game) but also his battle with Chris Paul, posting 29 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and just one turnover in 43 minutes, shooting 9-17 from the field; Paul finished with 15 points, 17 assists, six rebounds, four steals and three turnovers in 39 minutes, shooting just 4-13 from the field. Bryant had nine points and three assists in the fourth quarter, while Paul had two points and two assists in the final stanza. The Lakers will finish with the best record in the West if they win home games versus San Antonio and Sacramento and the Hornets lose one of their final three games (at Sacramento, versus the L.A. Clippers and at Dallas). The Lakers took a 63-33 first half lead but the Hornets closed to within 75-71 at the 3:16 mark of the third quarter. The Lakers blew the game open with a 17-6 run in the next 5:53, with Bryant scoring 10 of the points and assisting on two other field goals during that stretch. He punctuated this burst with this exciting dunk:

Phoenix, AZ — On Wednesday Bill Murray kicked off his 29 city party crashing tour in Phoenix, Arizona. It's still unclear how many parties in Phoenix Mr. Murray ended up attending but one of them has been confirmed at Lawn Gnome Publishing that was thrown in his honor.
Aaron Johnson who threw the party said it was truly an amazing event. He said the huge turnout was electrifying which was all capped off by the arrival of Bill Murray. "Thanks to all of the people that made my dreams come true tonight. It was great seeing everyone having fun, singing karaoke and celebrating a living legend. The night couldn't have gotten any better when Bill Murray actually showed up and made a quick appearance. This celebration will be remembered by all."
Bill Murray's agent Paul Horner, who was also in attendance, explained how happy Mr. Murray was and where he'll go next on his party crashing tour. "Bill Murray and I couldn't be anymore pleased with what happened here tonight in Phoenix. This kind of party is exactly what this whole party crashing tour is all about. There was hundreds of Bill Murray fans, karaoke, Ghostbusters and even Caddyshack miniature golf," Horner said. "Bill Murray will be in Las Vegas August 4th and then will head over to four cities in California after that."

As we sit halfway around the world, essentially powerless to change the events unfolding in Japan, there still comes the feeling that we should be doing something, anything, to aid the people affected by the recent 9.0 earthquake, subsequent tsunami, and unfolding nuclear disaster.
Rising to a call of action, Moto for Japan is an effort by a group of motorcyclists that donates money to the American Red Cross via an inspired charitable platform developed by none other than Hollywood's Edward Norton. The effort has been making the rounds on the internet the past two days, and its creators, Greg Hatton and Jon Bekefy, should be praised for their thoughtful thinking.
Perhaps a different take on how to best bring aid to Japan, I got an interesting message from Mark Gardiner, who pointed out "Japan is not Haiti. By the time we can actually deliver bottled water and blankets to the scene, people will have walked to parts of Japan that are relatively unscathed. If you want to help Japan, buy Honda stock." I think 'The Backmarker' is grasping a key point here, and with permission, we've reproduced his article on the subject as a guest post after the jump. – Jensen

JMU gets $300,000 grant to address need for more physics teachers
Senior physics major Nick Hagans works as a learning assistant, helping his peers with their physics lessons while getting a taste of teaching.
JMU graduates about 17 physics majors each year, one of the largest undergraduate-only programs in the country. But in the past eight years, only one of those physics graduates has gone on to teach high school physics.
Backed by a $300,000 grant from the Physics Teacher Education Coalition, Brian Utter, an associate professor of physics, and several of his colleagues, are looking for a few more physics majors with an interest in teaching. The jobs are out there for those who choose that path.
"There's a huge shortage of physics teachers," Utter said. "Your child takes physics in high school and you ask what's the chance that person has a major or even a minor in physics and it's less than 40 percent."
The three-year grant is funding a teacher in residence position, filled by someone who has taught high school physics and can mentor undergraduates interested in teaching, as well as stipends for students who work as learning assistants. To become a learning assistant, a student has to do well in an introductory physics course and also take a two-credit physics pedagogy course. Learning assistants get a taste of teaching while helping their peers.
"They're kind of floating around the class helping to sort of spur on the conversation and, when people get to a dead end, to redirect them a little bit," Utter said. "The idea is, we have a way to get students involved in something that looks like teaching early."
The learning assistants also get to experience planning a lesson and teaching high school students when they take the two-credit pedagogy course.
The learning assistant program "seemed to be a perfect way to find out if teaching was really the career I wanted to pursue," said Nick Hagans, a senior who is working his fifth semester as an LA this fall.
Joe Mahler, this year's teacher-in-residence, said he couldn't pass up the opportunity to mentor future teachers after teaching high school physics for 12 years at St. Catherine's School in Richmond. "I just left the classroom, so everything's fresh in my mind. It will be nice for them to have a fresh set of eyes that can help coach them along," he said.
In addition to mentoring the learning assistants, Mahler will be instrumental in holding professional development workshops for current physics teachers from around the state. "I've really become interested in working with teachers, which is one of the components of the teacher-in-residence, doing outreach and helping teachers that need help," said Mahler, who learned about the TIR program through his involvement with JMU's summer Content Teaching Academy.
Mahler said he uses a "modeling" style of teaching, where students learn by doing what scientists do. "So you study a system, you look at something like a toy car rolling down a ramp, and what you're doing is you're teaching the students how to observe a system and figure out what they can measure about the system, then collect data, then use that data to make a model. We make a model of how we think it works and then we use that model to make predictions. And the students come up with the laws of physics on their own."
One of the most important aspects of the PhysTEC program is making sure students who might have an interest in teaching physics know there is a path to get there, said Utter, who serves as the secondary education minor advisor in the physics department.
Having just a few physics majors each year go into teaching would make a significant impact, Utter said. "I think the number of people who got licensure to teach physics last year was about 30, but they're not all physics majors, it's anybody who might have a secondary licensure. I think the number of physics students, from all Virginia colleges, who got licenses was something like seven. So if we could produce a few a year, then we're doing something pretty important on that scale."

Parents May Use Their Own Judgment...
Parents may use their own judgment when weather conditions are severe. If you intend to keep your child home, please notify the school office. Ultimately, the decision on whether to send a child to school on inclement weather days always rests with parents. This is an important option for parents to keep in mind throughout the entire winter because, inevitably, there will be times when the roads in the majority of the District are safe for travel, but a specific street or route may not be. In this case, all parents need to do is communicate to their school the reason for their child's absence, and the absence will not count against the student's attendance record.
This same attendance exception holds true throughout the day during inclement weather as well. Except under the most extreme circumstances, school will not dismissed early once we have begun because we know from previous experience that the disruption and difficulty this causes for families is extreme. However, if during a school day the weather deteriorates to the point that parents feel it is best to pick up their son or daughter from school, then we encourage them to do so.
Cheyenne Mountain School District uses the Internet-based FlashAlert system for notifying the news media of changes in school schedules, such as weather-related delays and closures, etc. School district officials do not contact media outlets directly.
You are now able to download the free FlashAlert Messenger app for either Android, iPhone, or iPad, or follow us on Twitter @cmsd12 and receive emergency information just minutes after we post it, at no cost to you!
Please note that these alerts come directly from the FlashAlert service, so District 12 cannot be responsible for the reliability of delivery.

DENVER (CNN) -- The university psychiatrist who treated the accused gunman in last year's deadly Colorado theater rampage could face more than a dozen lawsuits that blame her and the school for not properly handling James Holmes' treatment.
At least 14 people have filed legal documents indicating they are planning to sue the University of Colorado Denver and Dr. Lynne Fenton for negligence.
Holmes, 25, was a doctoral student in neuroscience at the university.
Fenton has testified that her contact with Holmes ended on June 11, more than a month before he allegedly walked into a crowded movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, and opened fire, killing 12 people and wounding 58 others during a screening of the new Batman film.
She said she later contacted campus police because she was "so concerned" about what happened during her last meeting with him, but she declined to detail what bothered her.
Many details of Fenton's interactions with Holmes have been withheld due to rules governing doctor-patient confidentiality.
Jacque Montgomery, a university spokeswoman, said university officials are aware of the pending lawsuits.
"We understand that there is pain and frustration amongst the families of the deceased and victims of this terrible crime and we have great sympathy for them," Montgomery said in a statement. "We do believe, as well, that the facts will speak for themselves as the legal process moves forward."
Chantel Blunk -- whose 26-year-old husband, Jonathan, was one of 12 people slain in the theater -- has already filed a civil lawsuit in federal court accusing Fenton of knowing "that James Holmes was dangerous" and having "a duty to use reasonable care to protect the public at large from James Holmes."
Blunk's lawsuit accuses Fenton of negligence and said the university is also liable.
The lawsuit says that during their last contact on June 11, Holmes told Fenton that "he fantasized about killing a lot of people."
But according to the lawsuit, when a police officer asked whether Holmes should be placed on a psychiatric hold for 72 hours, Fenton "rejected the idea."
Stefan Moton, one of the 14 planning to sue the school and Fenton, survived a bullet wound in the July 20 shooting that left him paralyzed from the neck down.
According to his court filing, Moton claims that Fenton "learned of Mr. Holmes' dangerous propensities and intentions" but, after bringing her concerns to the university, "neither the (university) team nor the (university) police took action to prevent Mr. Holmes from causing ... harm to Mr. Moton, which harm could have been prevented from but for their failure to so act."
Moton is seeking at least $50 million in damages.
Erik Novo and his wife Laura Rodriquez -- who plan to seek $250,000 in their lawsuit -- never even saw the shooter. They were in a different auditorium and fled along with other theatergoers. As they were driving away they say they were stopped by a police officer at gunpoint, which -- according to their notice of claim -- caused them "severe mental anguish and suffering."
In all, the lawsuits will seek damages ranging from $100,000 to $50 million.
Holmes is currently awaiting formal arraignment for 166 charges related to the July 20 rampage, including murder, attempted murder and weapons offenses.
His interactions with Fenton before the shooting have come up several times during court proceedings.
Just nine minutes before he burst into the suburban mall movie theater, Holmes tried to call Fenton but failed to reach her, prosecutors have said.
In September, a judge ruled that a notebook Holmes allegedly mailed to Fenton right before the shooting would not be accessible to prosecutors.
The judge overseeing Holmes's case agreed last week to delay an arraignment in the case to allow defense lawyers more time to examine more than 30,000 pages of evidence and hundreds of DVDs and CDs.
The arraignment -- a formal reading of charges by the court and, frequently, the entering of a plea by the defendant -- is now scheduled for March 12.
Nearly six months after the killings, the Aurora Century 16 movie theater where the massacre took place will hold a private "night of remembrance" Thursday for the victims and those who responded to the tragedy. The theater will permanently reopen later this month.
Some survivors and loved ones of those killed are boycotting Thursday's event, deeming it as insensitive, while others say it's important that the theater reopen.
Several victims' families and survivors have filed lawsuits against Cinemark USA, Inc., the company that owns the theater.

The guy rings me up and says "Sir, would you like a ball wash?"
It may be part of his job, but I couldn't say that with a straight face.
A Blog detailing the insanity of my medical practice and the stupidity of everyday life.
Was it a complementary ball-wash?
No. It was $2, going up to $2.50 if I wanted extra wax.
Yes, the wash and maybe a buff and polish.
ha! ball wash indeed! Don't they have machines for that? They used to at our local bowling alley.
You have the most interesting experiences. You really should write a movie script.
I think you could give Jack Benny, George Burns, and Bob Hope a run for their money.
Once again Dr Grumpy you made me laugh (with snorting) in a quiet public place and get irritated looks from 'serious' folks!
thanks for the giggle :)
You're just lucky I didn't have some wine in my mouth when I read that!
You know, I really HATE snorting coffee out my nose. Remind me never to read you in the morning while having breakfast.
Good, Dude, good one!

Economic and Community Impact
- McNeese Statewide Impact Report
- University of Louisiana System Impact Report
- University of Louisiana System Economic Impact Web page
- University of Louisiana System
An additional benefit to McNeese spending is the creation of 3,250 non-university jobs throughout Louisiana that support expenditures such as construction, healthcare and food services. Student spending at McNeese supports over 1,400 non-university jobs in restaurant, entertainment, and retail industries.
As demonstrated in the study, future economic development in the region is closely tied to the ability of McNeese to sustain and grow its programs and activities. "Everyone in Southwest Louisiana is connected to, or touched by McNeese in one way or another," McNeese President Robert Hebert said. "McNeese is one of the largest employers in the five-parish area, and nearly 70 percent of the public four-year college degrees earned by residents of Southwest Louisiana come from McNeese. Our employees and students live in cities and communities throughout Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron and Jefferson Davis parishes," Hebert added.
According to statistics compiled for the economic and community impact study, approximately one-third of the engineers working in the local petrochemical industry are McNeese graduates. Nearly 80 percent of all nurses working in Lake Charles and the surrounding communities are McNeese graduates. School districts in the five-parish area rank among the state's top 10 districts in high school graduation rates and more than 70 percent of the educators in the five-parish area earned a degree from McNeese.
"For the past 70 years, Southwest Louisiana has relied on McNeese to provide an educated and well-prepared workforce, to provide employment opportunities, to host cultural and competitive athletic events and to purchase local goods and services," Hebert said. "McNeese is a major force in growing the economy and improving the quality of life in Southwest Louisiana." Over the last 10 years, close to 13,000 students have graduated from McNeese and added $640 million to Louisiana's economy.
"Before Hurricane Rita we had 14 consecutive enrollment increases and a record enrollment in September, 2005 that was just eight students short of topping 9,000," Candace Townsend, director of public information and communications said. "When we resumed classes in October, 2005 over 700 students had withdrawn." Enrollment at McNeese is gradually climbing back to pre-Rita levels.
Hurricane Rita caused significant damage to University facilities. The $30 million expended for hurricane repairs had a positive impact to the local economy. "Some buildings are still in FEMA mitigation processes and have yet to be repaired," Townsend said. Additional local economic impact will come from several capital outlay projects that are currently in planning or construction phase including the Shearman Fine Arts building addition.
"The economic impact study illustrates the importance of McNeese State University in dollar figures," Hebert said. "What cannot be calculated is the enhancement to the quality of life, as well as the invaluable contributions that our employees, students, alumni and retirees make to our communities through their civic and volunteer activities."

Many of us that accept the scientific consensus for evolution find it difficult to find like-minded individuals interested in exploring the theological implications of an evolving creation. Many others (maybe most Evangelical ECs) would risk membership in their Christian community (Church, mission, etc.) if their views were known. (See for example our past discussion on the question: Would your church allow you to publicly support evolution).
In a new post on changing beliefs, Cliff Martin comments on his frustration in finding this type of community:
So I am facing a conundrum. I am motivated to prepare my friends for what I consider an inevitable paradigm shift, and to develop a community of believers who will study the Bible with me from an evolutionary perspective. But I am having no success. And I risk alienating my own friends if I continue.The irony is that in seeking to bring together a community that values integrity in both science and faith, we risk being ostracized from both the community of faith and the community of science.
Collins on Creating a New Community
Francis Collins is trying to rectify this problem. In a recent post on "Creating a Community to Explore the Harmony of Science and Faith", Collins stated that he would like to:
[encourage] a new and vibrant community dedicated to finding the truth in both science and faith. The shrill voices at the poles of the science and faith discussion that claim the scientific and spiritual worldviews are incompatible have their own organized communities. But what about the vast majority that seeks a third way?From my own limited experience / knowledge, I think Collins belief that a "vast majority" seek this 3rd way is probably overly optimistic. But he is absolutely right that the situation is much better now than it was even a decade ago. He comments that:
There are encouraging signs that people who trust both God and science are beginning to create such a community.All of us should be thankful to Collins, Falk, Giberson, and the rest of the Biologos team for starting to provide resources for building this type of community. I'm also happy to see Collins is looking for input from other EC/TEs. He states:
These are just initial efforts to help catalyze a community devoted to seeking harmony in science and faith. We'd love to hear any ideas that could help in building this community.A Suggestion
Well, since he asked, here is my suggestion. I think we should publish an "Evangelical Statement on Evolution" that succinctly states that an Evangelical expression of the Christian faith, and the scientific theory of evolution are compatible. This could be modeled after the Clergy Letter Project, but crafted in a way to ensure it has an explicitly Evangelical character. The statement sponsoring signatories should include evangelical leaders from 1) a broad range of denominations 2) several different academic disciplines (at least scientists, biblical scholars and theologians - yes, we definitely need those timid theologians) and 3) a cross section of Evangelical organizations (eg. missions, umbrella groups like the EFC and the NAE). The statement should also have some mechanism for allowing the rest of us to sign on as well.
And, come to think of it, that November meeting that Tim Keller, Collins and other leading scientists, biblical scholars, and theologians are having would be a great forum to launch this initiative.
Your Feedback
Ok, that's my idea. What do you think? Do you think the time is right for an Evangelical Statement on Evolution? Would it be a positive step in the discussion, or would it serve only to raise more divisiveness? Do you have any other ideas you'd like to suggest to the Biologos team?

Another new obsession – Nachni (Marathi) / Ragi (Hindi) or Finger Millet as it is popularly known , in the past few days have made savoury pancakes several times so today I thought I would rustle up some sweet pancakes. But had to keep them healthy so opted for Soya Yoghurt instead of eggs which makes these vegan friendly and added in oats so that makes them gluten free too.
I really wanted to come up with some name for the Marathi alternative to this recipe and 'Nachni chya god polya' sounded like fun 😉
Light and puffy these are just perfect when you are craving pancakes but a healthier version is what you really want!
Ragi is known to have a whole host of health benefits:
- Popular amongst diabetics due to it's low GI
- High is dietary fiber
- Rich in calcium, iron and thiamine
- It is an aid to healthy weight loss due to it's very low fat content
- It is a good source of GF protien
- Popular as a baby food too
Nutritional value of finger millet per 100g
- Protein 7.6g
- Fat 1.5g
- Carbohydrate 88g
- Calcium 370mg
- Vitamins – A: 0.48mg
- Thiamine (B1): 0.33mg
- Riboflavin (B2): 0.11mg
- Niacin: (B3) 1.2mg
- Fiber 3g

Why you should make these pancakes! As if you need any excuses for blueberry pancakes!!!
- Low GI due to the finger millet flour so ideal for diabetics as it keeps blood sugar levels steady avoiding any sudden spikes and crashes.
- Gluten free
- Ideal for vegans
- Dairy Free
- Egg Free
- Refined sugar free as Natvia is great sugar substitute
- The oats ensure that this pancake keeps you fuller longer
Serves: 1 – makes 6 mini pancakes – double up quantity for 2 people
- 6 heaped tbsp oats
- 4 heaped tbsp finger millet flour
- 3 tbsp Soya yoghurt – I used Alpro – it's approved by the Vegan society
- Handful of blueberries
- water
- 4 tsp of Natvia – adjust as per taste
- In a large mixing bowl add the oats and finger millet and then the yoghurt
- Mix well and a thick mixture will form
- Heat about 2 cups of water in a kettle and let it cool down a bit
- Slowly pour into the mixture and set aside for about 5-7 minutes
- Then mix well to form a batter ensuring that it is not runny but has a good consistency, then add the Natvia and stir well till it all dissolves, adjust as per taste.
- On a non-stick pan on medium heat melt 1 heaped tbsp unsalted butter or if your using the 1 cal sunflower oil spray then about 6 – 8 sprays are enough.
- Ladle enough of the batter in the centre of the pan enough for a mini pancake, do not spread it like a dosa as the batter will disintegrate.
- Allow to cook on each side for about 1 minute with a lid.
- Use a wooden spatula to loosen the side done first and flip over carefully, the more the blueberries in each pancake that you ladle into the pan the more the water content as the heat will make the fruit pop and melt into gooey fruity goodness. Don't fret if the first few pancakes break especially where the fruit is at the edge.
My pancake stack collapsed just as I was about to photograph it – humfph! But it was a very satisfying , delicious and healthy breakfast which even the hubster loved – win-win! Woohoo 🙂
A word of caution though excessive consumption may lead to kidney trouble so don't over do the consumption.
Lastly a fun fact! Did you know that the grains are fermented to make a beer in some parts in Nepal? Cool or what?!

24 Secret Agent
GENRE: Historical Fiction
There were two things in the world Evan MacAllister found irresistible—an exquisitely-shaped woman and an exquisitely-shaped diamond.
Of course, those weren't the only things that Evan enjoyed. He adored pressed duck, American bourbon and the tawdriest form of burlesque theatre. He read The Queen as eagerly as any housewife and gambled at the races like a laborer on a Bank Holiday. And he had an unexplained weakness for Norfolk jackets.
But nothing compared to his love for women and diamonds. Two vices that could get a man into trouble more quickly than others. And, incidentally, the two responsible for Evan's current predicament.
When he first spotted Sarah Purves in the drawing room at Alexander Darling's house, pale and poised and sporting that flashing rectangle of carbon on her second finger, the only word that came to mind was, "Exquisite."
Both were guests at the Darlings' country house for the last hunt of the season. Sarah was lonely and bored; Evan was willing to entertain both Sarah and her diamond. Without much difficulty, he enticed her into a dark corner or two. Sarah began eagerly looking for Evan every evening and then, just as eagerly, looked for an unoccupied room.
One night Sarah was stretched across the billiards table, Evan sucking each of her fingers teasingly. He slipped her ring off with his tongue and, just as quickly, pushed on another ring that had been tucked inside his cheek. Whenever she next looked down at her ring, however often it was she did that, she would see a clear rectangle glinting with rainbows, the same as she always saw.

Good writing, smooth. Love the voice. Not quite sure I believe the mouth acrobatics, but I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. I'd definitely read on.ReplyDelete
I would read more. Nice voice and writing. However, there's a lot of telling, and I'm not sure where the MC is or in how much trouble he's in.ReplyDelete
I assume this is England. Season is with cap "S."
- SeaHayesOctober 14, 2009 at 12:32 PM
Like the voice and the lead in. I agree that I don't quite buy the mouth bit, but it lends itself to the swap. I'd read on. Good luck!ReplyDelete
You have a great voice. I didn't read the Genre but knew in your 2nd paragraph that this was historical fiction with your word choices. Nicely done! There were some telling moments that could be punched up some, but overall I would definitely keep reading.ReplyDelete
I agree with Linda about the trick with the mouth, but apart from that, it reads very well.ReplyDelete
I love the voice here. There's something humorous and witty about the set-up and I definitely would read more.ReplyDelete
This is very well written! I love Evan already; sneaky and cunning, yet there's something very endearing about him.ReplyDelete
I love the voice, humorous.ReplyDelete
Got to love a man who can do more than just tie a cherry stem!
I would read more.
Great voice. I like Evan immediately. Randy rakes always get my vote. Especially one with mouth aerobic skills!ReplyDelete
"flashing rectangle of carbon" is a great description.
I'd read on
Hooked. Good voice and flow. I feel an immediate connection to Evan.ReplyDelete
Watch your adverbs: teasingly, quickly, eagerly (twice), incidentally, lonely.
Overall, I would read on to see what happens.
Love a man with a talented mouth! Hooked~ReplyDelete
I don't normally read historical and I almost passed this up. I'm glad I didn't.ReplyDelete
I really loved the voice and yes I'm hooked.
- AnonymousOctober 15, 2009 at 8:46 AM
I liked the voice but I'm not sold.ReplyDelete
The last paragraph should have started to draw us in closer to the character's instead it pushes away from them. The fix is easy.
Delete One Night. Period after table. Have Sarah look at her ring instead of guessing at her future behavior.
I enjoyed this one, and I'm hooked! I hope Sarah finds out and decks him, though.ReplyDelete
Hooked. Great voice, and very in keeping with Evan's character.ReplyDelete
My one problem is that all of this reads like back story. I love your first three paragraphs, but when we arrive in Alexander Darling's house, we're seeing a bunch of stuff that's already happened. You may consider fast-forwarding to the present story and then filling in these details later, or telling us about these events in real time.
Your call, of course. Good luck with it.
I am somewhat hooked, and would certainly read on. Personally, I would move the second and third paragraphs down and focus on Evan's first sighting of Sarah.ReplyDelete
Great character and premise, but it's all flashback. You start with him somewhere else (although we don't know where.) and then you take us to the past.ReplyDelete
If you're going to start the story with that event, why not simply start there, instead of making it a flashback? Then we'd get to hear and see Evan and Sarah play this scene out as it happens, which would let us get to know them. And everything you told us in the opening parg. about him and his love for women and diamonds, we'd get to see first hand.
Which is more exciting? Being at the party yourself, or having a friend tell you about it? That's the difference you could make in the story.
Hmmm, good characterization at the start but then the action went so fast I felt a little thwarted: I wanted to know more about him than just his love of diamonds and women. I guess we do learn he steals too...ReplyDelete
Anyways, I'm hooked because of that last sentence
- CharlieBabbittOctober 16, 2009 at 2:14 PM
I'm somewhat hooked. Agree with the others; this is all telling, as if you were literally sitting across from me telling me a story about a guy named Evan: a John Robie/Cary Grant diamond thief type of guy. I'd much rather watch how he charms Sarah over the billiards table and seduces that ring off her finger -- especially if this particular switch starts his predicament. Your writing is strong, but when does the show start?ReplyDelete
I was going to say exactly what Krista said, so I'll settle for seconding her comment.ReplyDelete
- Cheryl SOctober 18, 2009 at 8:15 AM
I enjoyed the sardonic tone here. Your MC is a cad and a bounder, but one who will be very entertaining. I would read on.ReplyDelete
- Secret AgentOctober 18, 2009 at 11:19 PM
I like this guy, and I like the way he's written with humor. He doesn't take himself too seriously, he's clearly charming and talented. I want to know more!ReplyDelete
Even though the first three paragraphs are "telling," they're a brief enough setup and I think they work. They're interesting. Yet they may need to be cut anyway, because there are too many time periods going on in this brief opening. Your story might start with "When he first spotted…"
If I read on, I'd be hoping that very soon we'd be in an actual scene. I hope this little bit of backstory was worth it.
I didn't care for the repetition of "exquisite" – title, twice in the first paragraph, again in the fourth paragraph.
Still, I'd read a little more!

India wins Tri Nation series
The victory continues India's success in the One Day following their Champions Trophy win.
WEST INDIES - India captain MS Dhoni smashed 16 off the first four balls of the final over to clinch the Tri Nation series with a thrilling one wicket victory over Sri Lanka in Port of Spain on Thursday.
After bowling out Sri Lanka for 201, India were facing defeat at 167 for eight but, needing 15 to win off the final over, Dhoni smashed Shaminda Eranga for a six and a four and then won the game with another six with two balls to spare.
The victory continues India's success in the one-day game following their triumph in last month's Champions Trophy.
Hosts West Indies finished third in the series having failed to make the final, which resulted in a disappointing crowd.
Eranga will surely regret his decision to bowl full length deliveries around off stump to Dhoni, allowing the Indian the room to drive.
But for Dhoni, returning from a hamstring injury and looking uncomfortable running between the wickets, it was a superb effort, his unbeaten 45 proving decisive in a low scoring contest at the Queen's Park Oval.
Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara struck a fine 71 in a 122 run partnership with Lahiru Thirimanne to give them a solid foundation but after he went, with the first ball of the 40th over and his team 174 for four, their innings fell apart with just 27 runs added for the final six wickets.
Slow left-armer Ravindra Jadeja picked up four wickets as he ran through the Sri Lankan lower order, with India finishing off their opponents with seven balls remaining of their allotted 50 overs.
It was a similar story with India's reply - Rohit Sharma was the anchor, making 58, before he was bowled by slow left-armer Rangana Herath.
Suresh Raina made 32 and when he departed in the 35th over India were well on their way at 145 for five.
But Herath picked up three quick wickets, all lbw dismissals, as India slumped before Dhoni took charge.
Last man Ishant Sharma held up his end, taking just two off the penultimate over bowled by Sri Lanka skipper Angelo Mathews and ensuring Dhoni had the chance to finish with a flourish.
Sri Lanka had chosen to use their best finishing bowler Lasith Malinga in the 48th over, with Dhoni taking just two off it, clearly thinking ahead to the final over.
"I think I am blessed with a bit of good cricketing sense," said Dhoni in the post-game ceremony.
"The opposition bowler was not the most experienced in that last over, unlike Malinga, so I thought I would take my chances. I went with a heavy bat and the weight was perfect for slogging," he added.
Mathews blamed the batting collapse for his team's defeat.
"It was a great game. The bowlers showed a lot of character to (try to) defend 200. We lost momentum in our innings and had we played till the end we could have pushed it to 230-240 and that would have been enough".

The tree is located in Lowell, Massachusetts.
Reflection in a nearby mill.
From Wikipedia, "The Wannalancit Mills are an example of adaptive re-use as they contain offices. Part of the mills are owned by the University of Massachusetts Lowell. In 2000, the owners of the mill utilized their smokestack for the city's largest Christmas tree, reaching two hundred and fifty six feet in height."

I don't know what to tell you. Most of the people I know either bust their ass on a daily basis because they have a low education level or have busted their ass to get a job they like.
people who own these education establishment are rolling in money (I think you can see where this is going).
It's amazing how each forum has certain members that remind you of the same kind of person on another forum. Agent D. reminds me of a guy in such that way from a White Sox forum I frequented for probably about 5 years. Posted, argued, and ranted in the exact same way. I'm not saying either guy is right or wrong, or good or bad, but it's just an interesting pattern.
Best way to relieve anger is to rub one out.

It's a big day for extra-terrestrial water: not only are there hints of water on the moon, but now Carnegie says that the mantle of Mars might have water concentrations similar to those found on Earth.
Specifically, the researchers say that rocks in Mars' mantle could have concentrations of water between 70 and 300 parts per million – which compares very favourably to Earth's mantle, where rocks show concentrations between 50 and 300 ppm.
The scientific team, which included Francis McCubbin (formerly of Carnegie and now at the University of New Mexico), and Erik Hauri, examined meteorites that originated on Mars.
These shergottite meteorites were created by the partial melting of Mars' mantle, and crystallised at or near the surface of the planet before being ejected about 2.5 million years ago to arrive on Earth. Analysing the water content of the mineral apatite in two meteorites with "different processing histories", Hauri said the water content of the different samples was quite similar.
"The results suggest that water was incorporated during the formation of Mars and that the planet was able to store water in its interior during the planet's differentiation", he says in Carnegie's announcement.
Hauri believes the amount of water present in the sample could be sufficient for Mars to have once sustained life – if processes such as volcanoes brought the water to the surface. ®

That thou hast her it is not all my grief,
And yet it may be said I loved her dearly;
That she hath thee is of my wailing chief,
A loss in love that touches me more nearly.
Loving offenders thus I will excuse ye:
Thou dost love her, because thou know'st I love her;
And for my sake even so doth she abuse me,
Suffering my friend for my sake to approve her.
If I lose thee, my loss is my love's gain,
And losing her, my friend hath found that loss;
Both find each other, and I lose both twain,
And both for my sake lay on me this cross:
But here's the joy; my friend and I are one;
Sweet flattery! then she loves but me alone.
Sonnet 42: Translation to modern English
That you have her isn't the only thing that's upsetting me, although I can tell you I loved her dearly. That she has you is the main reason that I'm crying – a loss of love that hurts me more. This is how I'll make excuses for you two offenders in love: You love her because you know I love her. And in the same way, she abuses me for my own sake, putting up with my friend making love to her because she knows I love him. If I lose you my loss is my mistress' gain. And in losing her my friend is gaining. You both gain each other and I lose both of you. And both lay this burden on me for my own sake. But here's the happy part: my friend and I are one person. What flattery! So she loves only me!

Nursery Rhymes with Les Miles
Hickory, dickory, dock
The mouse ran up the clock
The clock struck one
The mouse ran down
Hickory, dickory-- Wait, WHAT?!
The clock is on one?!
I thought the clock was on two!
Son of a bitch!
Who told the mouse to run down?!
Bullshit! I didn't tell him to run down!
I was motioning for him to spike the cheese!
We don't have any timeouts left!
Get the fuck back up the clock!
Before the clock hits none
And my coaching days are done!
Hickory, dickory, dock!

Are we starting to show an obsession with Les Miles?

Not sure if it is an obsession as much as a realization that maybe we dodged a bullet.
My son is a freshman at LSU -- and I can tell you, Les is not very popular down there right now. With all due respect to our situation, I would venture to say he is the least popular undefeated coach in the country right now.

You go where the funny is, BAM. And he's a goldmine.
As such, I'm bummed we didn't get Les - as someone who has a comedy-based CFB blog, LM is a daily material!

Boil the vinegar together with peppercorns and tarragon, reduce by half. Strain and reserve (see Secrets for success on storing, below).
Boil a large pan of water, then reduce to a simmer. Using a large balloon whisk, beat together the yolks and 2 tsp of the reduced wine vinegar in a heatproof bowl that fits snugly over the pan.
Beat vigorously until the mixture forms a foam, but make sure that it doesn't get too hot. To prevent the sauce from overheating, take it on and off the heat while you whisk, scraping around the sides with a plastic spatula. The aim is to achieve a golden, airy foam (called a sabayon), which forms ribbons when the whisk is lifted.
Whisk in a small ladle of the warmed butter, a little at a time, then return the bowl over a gentle heat to cook a little more. Remove from the heat again and whisk in another ladle of butter. Repeat until all the butter is incorporated and you have a texture as thick as mayonnaise. Finally, whisk in lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste plus a little warm water from the pan if the mixture is too thick.
Recipe Tip
Curdling tipsIf the sauce mixture starts to 'split' or curdle, immediately scrape the mixture into a clean bowl and whisk in 1 tbsp ice-cold water, then continue whisking in the remaining butter just a ladleful at a time.
Recipe Tip
SeasoningSalt breaks down the yolks if you add it too early, so season your sauce at the end.
Recipe Tip
Melting the butterHeat a 250g pack chopped butter in a shallow pan. As it foams, scoop off the froth and scum using a small ladle or large metal spoon. Don't use a slotted spoon or the scum will slip back into the butter. (Don't waste the froth – it can be used in potatoes or for dressing hot vegetables). You should have around 200ml of warmed butter for the sauce. You can melt the butter in a microwave, but keep it covered as it melts or it will spit. Leave to cool a little before adding to the eggs.
Recipe Tip
Storing reduced wine vinegarWhen vinegar has reduced, strain back into the bottle, cool and store as usual.
Recipe Tip
Olive oil hollandaiseUse 200ml of medium flavour olive oil (not extra virgin oil) instead of the butter, and heat until warm. Perfect with roasted vegetables and grilled fish.

30 Reasons why YOU need Sales Training
Creating the outcomes you want – Personal Power Mastery by Douglas Vermeeren
The reason why most people are not successful is that they either wait until they feel inspired, in the mood or excited enough to do something to get to work doing what they need to do to get what they want. Or they wait for the opposite feelings of pain, regret, guilt or remorse to come to spur them work. Top achievers and those who are successful actually get to work by choice not as a result of feelings or reactions to something outside themselves or around them. That is the definition of proactivity. To be successful you must be a self starter regardless of what is going on around you or how you feel. #douglasvermeeren #ppm #personalpowermastery #success #goalsetting #achievement #personaldevelopment
Don't share your business card and get more sales! Learn to Sell or Die- Douglas Vermeeren
Do you really think that handing out your business card is your best strategy? We all know what happens next, your "prospect" is simply going to throw it in his pocket and it will either go through with the laundry or they'll put it in a big stack of others cards with an elastic and they'll forget about it for 6 months until they get back to it. At that point they'll have forgotten who you are and either throw it out onto it for another 6 months and then throw it out. Sounds like a great way to generate sales… Not. There is a better way to do it.
The first suggest that I want to give is that you don't hand ourt cards at all. If someone is interested in your busienss or your offering, YOU should be the one to ask for a card or contact informaiton. That puts you in control of the upcoming contact. Now you aren't waiting for someone to find the time to reach you.
I encourage you to try this and see how many of the time wasters will identify themselves by either suddenly not having a card themselves, or be unqwilling to give you their contact info.
May I also suggest that just like you have a process set up for qualifying propsects for a sale you qualiy people to receive your business card. I know some people suggest you should give your business card to everyone. (And perhaps there are some industries where that works well) But if you spread your card everywhere as though it was cheap and available you are teaching people how to treat you and your business. Invest a little more effort to make the cards you hand out more valuable to your prospect.
Surprisingly as I have taught this to my students they have noticed that they aren;'t dealing with as many time wasting prospects and the quality of their cusotmers has risen dramatically. Give it a try and you'll see what I mean.

Most people are selling incorrectly – Learn to Sell or Die, Douglas Vermeeren
One of the reasons why some people struggle with sales is because ether have the wrong definition of what sales is. And naturally with eh wrong definition they approach it the wrong way and they use the wrong tools for the job. Sales is a matter of influence and support. When you can identify the needs and challenges your prospect your job becomes one o helping them see the value in using your product or service to solve those problems. Influence is really what sales is all about. And influence improves when we understand how prospects make their decisions. #learntosellordie #sales #douglasvermeeren #salestips #1salestraining #influenceselling #sales #sellmore #thesalessuccessacademy
Don't Suck at Selling #3
A secret to sales – Learn to Sell or Die by Douglas Vermeeren
Remember that people buy because of emotions. But most sales people forget that emotions and feels are also contagious. If you think what you re selling sucks your prospects will feel that as well. If you think what you are selling is awesome they will feel the same. I always find it odd that some sales people try to sell things they don't belief in, like or even own. If you love what you sell what out because you will sell a lot of it! #douglasvermeeren #ppm #personalpowermastery #sales #salestips #salesquotes #1salestraining #1salestrainer #1salesspeaker #salesthoughts #sellmore

Don't let selling FREAK YOU OUT! Learn to Sell or Die – Douglas Vermeeren
Why is it some people freak out when it comes to sales? I'll tell you one of the major reasons I have observed… Are you ready? It's because they aren't sold themselves. And here's the fact, if you aren't already sold on your product or service you will always get freaked out when you try to present it to someone else and ask them for money. You need to be 100% committed or you will bring your hesitation and doubt with you into the presentation. And when you encounter a prospect that has questions, objections or concerns IT WILL FREAK YOU OUT! #learntosellordie #douglasvermeeren #1salestraining #topsalestrainer #salessuccessacademy #salesfails #salestips #salesquotes #howtosell #improveyoursales
Is your presentation getting int he way of your sales? Learn to Sell or Die minute by Douglas Vermeeren
Often when a sales person presents they are so focused no themselves that it becomes about the presentation more than it is about connecting with the prospect. As a result no sale is made. Think about this is your objective to make good presentations or make more sales? If you answered sales than the connection needs to become more important than getting through the content of your presentation. #douglasvermeeren #learntosellordie #salesskills #salestraining #salestrainingcalgary #1salestrainer #1salestraining
