Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Series: The Biblical Premise of Uniformitarianism
In this three part series, geologist Stephen Moshier critiques John MacArthur's articles on uniformitarianism, while offering an alternative perspective on the principle. He exposes faulty conceptions about and misleading definitions of uniformitarianism. Gregory Bennett further defends the idea of an old earth as Biblical and focuses on the unchanging nature of God. He also discusses the Scriptural doctrines of creation and God's providence.
Evolution: What We Know and What We Don't
In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Series: The Flood: Not Global, Barely Local, Mostly Theological
The three part series, written by Paul Seely, explores the scientific validity of the Flood in Genesis. He offers the approximate date of the flood according to Scripture, and then looks at various lines of evidence that contradict the idea of a global flood at that time. In light of other Mesopotamian flood stories, scholars conclude that the flood was local at best. In the end, he suggests that this story primarily reveals theological truths from a limited scientific understanding of natural events.
Crabby Christians or Nebulous Data?
Scientists who confront Bible-believing Christians with the physical evidence of theologically-challenging views like old-earth geology or common ancestry are usually incredulous when their well-crafted and well-supported arguments fall on deaf ears. How can something so obvious to one person be so easily dismissed by another?

Because the Fed's policies push interest rates lower, particularly on mortgages, they "are directly supporting the housing market by putting homeownership within the reach of more people," Bernanke said.
The average rate on a 30-year mortgage fell to 3.34% this week, its lowest level on record, according to data released by Freddie Mac Thursday morning.
Bernanke will also give a speech at the Economic Club of New York on Tuesday, where he is expected to speak in greater detail about monetary policy.

Now a defensive leader for the struggling Saints, Lofton insists he has no regrets, did what was right for him and is eager to experience one of the NFL's more intense and longstanding rivalries from the other side when the Saints (3-5) host unbeaten Atlanta (8-0) on Sunday.
"Yeah, I'm excited to play these guys after playing for them," Lofton said this week. "It's ifs, ands, woulda, coulda — now we'll see what happens."
It can be difficult to read in the loquacious Lofton's playful grin whether he harbors any real resentment about his departure from Atlanta. On one hand, he says it's nothing personal, but sometimes he'll throw in a few extra comments insinuating that he felt somewhat underappreciated.
"I look at it as I left. I mean, they offered me and they wanted me to stay, but I just felt better" moving to New Orleans, Lofton said. "I wanted to go to a team that celebrated me, not tolerated me. That's the way that I felt. I'm happy that I'm here and I'm excited for this game."

Youth participants funded by the Government of Norway
The Government of Norway provided funding for 10 youth participants from Africa, Latin America and Asia as well as for the two YOUNGO focal points to take part in both the seventh Conference of Youth and COP 18/CMP 8. Participants were selected by YOUNGO and provided with training and logistical support to effectively engage in YOUNGO's work in Doha. YOUNGO will continue to mentor funded participants, of which many are newcomers to UNFCCC process, beyond COP 18/CMP 8.

Intergenerational Inquiry
At this year's fifth annual Intergenerational Inquiry youth delegates from around the world engaged with Ms. Mary Robinson (former President of Ireland), H.E. Dessima Williams (Permanent Representative of Grenada to the United Nations) and Ms. Christiana Figueres (UNFCCC Executive Secretary) to discuss the role and importance of young people in the UNFCCC process. Follow the link to the webcast to view the event.
High-level youth briefings
High-level youth briefings are being organized by the UNFCCC secretariat for youth delegates to interact with the Presidency of the COP/CMP, Chairs and Co-Chairs of the negotiating bodies, the UNFCCC Executive Secretary and other key persons at UNFCCC sessions. At COP 18/CMP 8 high-level youth briefings have been organized with:
Youth Virtual Participation Room
The Youth Virtual Participation Room enables youth all over the world to participate in the Climate Conference in real time, albeit not being physically present. For youth present at COP 18/CMP 8, the room is equipped with virtual conferencing devices and provides facilities to hold meetings with their constituents back home.
The Youth Virtual Participation Room is located in the delegation area of the conference centre. If you are interested in using this room, please contact Mr. Jamie Peters at jamie.peters (at) ukycc.org
Mini-side events
These events provide a platform for youth organizations to have their voices heard. Every morning, four 20-minute events will take place at the Climate Change Studio located in the exhibition area of the conference centre. For detailed information on upcoming events, please refer to the schedule above. If you would like to organize a youth focused mini-side event, please contact us at youth (at) unfccc.int
UN Youth Booth
The UN Youth Booth is hosted by the United Nations Joint Framework Initiative on Children, Youth and Climate Change to provide a joint space for the members of the Initiative to showcase their work. It also functions as a central point for engagement with United Nations and non-governmental organizations to meet and build networks.
The UN Youth Booth is located in the Exhibition area of the conference centre.
Youth Exhibit Area
In the Youth Exhibit Area you will find a number of youth organizations showcasing their work. The Youth Exhibit Area is located in the exhibition area of the conference centre.
Children and young people have been participating in the UNFCCC intergovernmental process since COP 5 in Bonn. Starting in COP 11/CMP 1, youth have also organized preparatory meetings called "Conferences of Youth," which help build their capacity to participate in the UNFCCC negotiation process.
Since 2009 youth non-governmental organizations have been enjoying constituency status. This provides YOUNGO with the opportunity to address the plenary, High Level Segment of a COP/CMP, make submissions (individual youth organizations also), attend workshops, meet with officials of the Convention such as SB/AWG Chairs and COP President. They also organize Young and Future Generation's Day during the COP/CMP featuring a series of side events, exhibits, interviews, media stunts and other activities.
For more information about YOUNGO and its current activities, please visit http://www.youthclimate.org or e-mail the YOUNGO focal points at:
Since September 2008, the UNFCCC secretariat has been working together with United Nations agencies and youth non-governmental organizations to empower children and young people to take action on climate change through the United Nations Joint Framework Initiative on Children, Youth and Climate Change.
The work of the Initiative is closely linked to the implementation of Article 6 of the UNFCCC and in particular the implementation of amended New Delhi work programme on Article 6. It also draws guidance from the following policy instruments:

This month I'll be participating in Deana Barnhart's Gearin' Up to Get an Agent blogfest. Week One starts things off with a bang as participants post a question we've always had about writing. Mine is this …
Which do you think is better: Publishing with the Big Five, publishing with an indie or self-publishing—and why?
You don't have to be participating in the blogfest to comment, although participants are encouraged to hop around one another's blogs trying to help each other out.
To get the dialogue going, here are a couple of well-written points of view from published authors:
- Why J.L. Campbell prefers self-publishing (http://thecharacterdepot.blogspot.com/2011/06/foray-into-self-publishing.html).
- Why Ebony McKenna hopes authors will hold out for a traditional publisher (http://ejmckennablog.blogspot.com/2011/07/money-talks.html).
- Want a little more food for thought? Some agents are acting as literary consultants to help authors self-publish (http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2011/06/literary-agents-try-new-role-as-self-publishing-consultants167.html).

There's no question a small vehicle limits what you bring. AND even worse, it puts the kids too close to each other.
Inevitably there will be poking. And grabbing. And face-making. This leads to whining. And crying. And barfing.
And that's no fun.
So buy, rent or borrow a bigger vehicle. You'll save some sanity.
The next road trip necessity is sure to keep the young 'uns quiet for hours ...
No. 4: Bring videos along for the ride
This is essential. Kids will ask a billion times "are we there yet?" but if you plug them in to a video, they're blissfully quiet for hours.
It's really just sick how genius this is. You can rent a DVD player if your big-ol SUV doesn't have a built-in one. Or portable DVD players can be had for as little as $35. It's worth every single penny.
You could even use a laptop with movies or kids' shows on it. Or an iPod or iPad -- basically anything that plays videos and can use headphones.

Seasonal spike: Downtown McKinney draws increased business, tourism over holidays
Photo courtesy of the City of McKinney - Dickens of a Christmas is just one of several holiday traditions in downtown McKinney that bring in tourists from all over North Texas and beyond each year.
By Chris Beattie, email@example.com
This time of year makes the source of McKinney's lifeblood fairly obvious.
Historic downtown - the city's heart - sees an influx of tourists and increased activity that leaves little doubt.
"It just has that homey, nostalgic feel," Beth Shumate, of the McKinney Convention & Visitors Bureau (MCVB), said of downtown. "It showcases what's unique."
Coupled with post-Thanksgiving shopping sprees, the downtown square livens significantly with the first winter rush. This year's participants could use northtexasshopping.com, an all-encompassing guide to gift and eatery options in Allen, Frisco, McKinney and Plano, the four cities behind it.
With online and mobile access, the site lists locations, descriptions and discounts for each city's exclusive hot spots. Users can also join the running for the year's final sweepstakes, a North Texas getaway weekend including a tour of Southfork Ranch.
And McKinney has as good of a shop-and-dine option as any, Shumate said.
"Downtown is just so neat; it's not just your average boutiques," she said. "You can pick up anything from stocking stuffers to designer clothing, stuff you're not going to find at 'Big Box' stores."
The annual Holiday Tour and Shannon Cole's Happy Trails Carriage Service, going on its fifth holiday season, help broaden attraction around the square, throughout the historic district.
The Holiday Tour consistently brings in visitors from around North Texas and beyond, said Cindy Johnson, executive director of the Heritage Guild of Collin County. PayPal ticket orders for this year's tour, which account for almost half the sales, show that about one-third are from buyers outside the county and another third are from outside McKinney. People are coming from Arkansas and Oklahoma, and one woman's coming all the way from Australia, Johnson said.
"We have people who came to the first one who still come on the tour," she said. "A lot of people are just curious about the east side, and new people want to see the city's historic side."
About 1,500 tickets were sold last year, with inclement weather preventing what likely would have been a record-high in sales, and tour numbers have increased by about 30 percent the past five years, she said.
Happy Trails gives similar historic district tours year-round, but the holiday season is easily its busiest time. Tour bookings between September and now are up 25 percent from last year, said Cole, who facilitates 12 rides a day and "hundreds of rides" between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day.
"A lot more people have moved up here in recent years, and they want to see downtown and how wonderful it is," Cole said. "Everybody who did it last year has booked this year, too."
Some carriage-ride tourists have switched their holiday destination from Highland Park to McKinney, she said, because "there's more for them to do and less traffic."
Downtown stays busy, though, and not just over the winter. Lake said business is up around the square, thanks to 98 percent occupancy - about 42 property owners in a 12-block radius - a rate she said is "unheard of" for downtown districts nationwide.
An extensive infrastructure project in 2008 started a downtown turnaround that continues each year, she said. Oktoberfest, another of McKinney's downtown festivals, brings in around 28,000 visitors, but the ensuing attractions are what continue the draw through the end of each year.
McKinney's heart pumps hardest for the holidays.
"Downtown is definitely something people look at," Lake said. "There's something for everyone down here, and we're always in for something new."

The U.S. State Department is countering Russian criticism of how American authorities are handling of case of a 3-year-old adopted boy who died in Texas.
"What is very troubling about this case is that the Russians are making very wild accusations against the (adoptive) parents before they have information," a senior State Department official told CNN. "I think it is irresponsible of the Russians to say the parents did x, y or z before we find out what happened.
In West Texas, the Ector County Medical Examiner's Office is investigating because of the "suspicious" nature of the boy's death, investigator Kim Harrington said.
Russian officials Tuesday met with the boy's unnamed adoptive parents and his surviving brother, also adopted from Russia, after the State Department coordinated the session through Texas Child Protective Services. U.S. officials said.
Meanwhile, a Russian governor halted the foreign adoption of orphans in his region after the boy's death.
"If we know the facts and they are as the Russians claimed, they have every right to be upset just as we would be upset if an American child was adopted in Russia and the same thing happened. But there shouldn't be a rush to judgment when these parents might be in terrible pain over what happened to their son," said the State Department official, who requested anonymity to speak candidly about the sensitive issue.
The case of the 3-year-old's death has aggravated State Department efforts push through more than 500 adoption cases in which American families have already begun the process to adopt a Russian child before Moscow in December passed a law banning adoptions of Russian children by Americans.
That pending law would ban adoptions by Americans ostensibly because of documented cases of abuse by adoptive parents. But others say the Russian move is in retaliation for a U.S. law that places restrictions on Russian human rights abusers.
"This is a very difficult case for us and the timing couldn't be worse," the State Department official said. "We are trying to revolve the rest of these cases, but having a case like this makes it more difficult."
Officials said, including the death in Texas, 20 of about 60,000 Russian children adopted by Americans in the past two decades have died in the United States.

I believe A.Sceptic's issue is not with "Hynix and other companies" but rather ...

Charge trapping models for resistance switching would be open to objections ...
HP Labs sees ARM, Atom, memristors in server future
Rick Merritt
Separately, Hewlett-Packard Co. is expected to announce within weeks the next steps in its Project Moonshot, its work on ARM- and Atom-based servers. HP is working with a broad group of companies including processor providers AMD, Applied Micro, Calxeda, Cavium and Intel on the project.
So far HP has announced an Atom-based server using Intel's Centerton processor. It suggested it would use cartridges to flexibly upgrade a single server chassis for a wide range of ARM- and Atom-based chips in 2013 and beyond.
On a three-to-five year horizon, HP Labs is working on what it calls "nanostores." The chips combine memristors and logic that could challenge microprocessors in a new era of designs based on novel system architectures and memory hierarchies, said Parthasarathy Ranganathan, an HP Labs researcher in a keynote at the Server Design Summit here.
"We have the opportunity for new building block," said Ranganathan. "It's really a 3-D stack amenable to traditional workloads and even more so to new workloads, really changing the game with potentially a hundred-fold increase in performance per watt."
Next: Title-1
Are they essentially describing some kind of FPGA processor with a gigantic fast non-volatile memory?
@bobdvb: It's unclear because they haven't said much about the lo0gic part of the device.
Many researchers including some at Stanford and Berkeley have talked about kinds of smart memories before. HP's unique angle is using its memristor as the memory.
unknown multiplier
What's the difference between HP's memristor and Panasonic's ReRAM? They seem to be the same materials..
US Made
It is another R & D smoking....
Build real products show then talk....
many sees many things in future..few build for future.
Partha has built real stuff - he was one of the forces behind the Moonshot program, so maybe there is some practical angle to memristors.
Turns out there are many logic blocks each suited for different jobs that HP Labs is exploring adding to memristors.
The idea is to invert the old idea of a memory hierarchy serving processors. Instead memory is central and there is a hierarchy (or taxonomy) of processing done on it.
It will be great if something useful comes from HP's nanostore and 3D stacking crossbars. However, I would have more respect for the researchers involved if they stood on the merit of their own R&D rather than continuing to use Chua's "memristor" as a PR gimmick.
A Sceptic
It is really astonishing that HP's Labs still believe in their "memristor" stuff.
Non-volatile memristive systems are conceptually defined by a set of characteristic mathematical equations. Thus, solid state memory devices should only be labeled "memristors" if they operate physically in accordance with this mathematical framework. However, up to now no one has been able to propose a reasonable physical model that satisfies these equations, although there are some claims appearing in scientific literature. Even HP Labs have not invented or found a device which works like a genuine, non-volatile memristive system. Their fabled memristor model which was presented in the "NATURE" paper "The missing memristor found" (Nature 453, 80-83 (2008)) suffers from severe flaws in its construction. This can be easily shown by analyzing the model under aspects of textbook electrochemistry.
What is termed "memristors" by HP are memory devices based on "resistance switching" effects. Resistance switching behavior is often observed on specific metal/insulator/metal structures after a soft-breakdown of the insulating material has occurred (electroforming step). These phenomena are well known since decades and are in no way related to the concept of memristor/memristive systems. Soft-breakdown can induce highly defective, filament-like structures somewhere in the insulating matrix which are susceptible to external interferences. Probably, most resistance switching effects result from localized chemical/physical phase transformations in these regions due to, for example, local heating or high-field electrolytic processes triggered by means of electric stressing. Localized effects at the nanoscale involve a lot of reliability and stability issues. SK Hynix and other companies seem to be aware of these problems.
So, what is the real intention behind all these "memristor" stories? HP is doing no favors to itself announcing time and again such "breaking" news.
A quick look at the IEEE literature demonstrates that "Hynix and other companies" are aware of these problems. That's a pretty skeptical view of things, A. Sceptic
I believe A.Sceptic's issue is not with "Hynix and other companies" but rather with those who write memristor papers and are either not aware of the physics issues or have made no real attempt to incorporate the actual physics into dynamic systems models (regardless of whether it is called a "memristor" or not).
The lead HP memristor scientist (Stan Williams) has publically stated in an earlier EETimes article that HP's memristor research is "essentially complete" and any delay is for business reasons blamed on Hynix. However, to my knowledge, there is no realistic model from HP or anyone else incorporating the known physics into a dynamic systems model (regardless of whether you call it a memristor or not). The lack of accurate physics models will make product design difficult and Hynix's engineers will likely need to rely on trial and error for manufacture. This will likely make it more costly and time consuming to manufacture "memristors".
The memristor terminology is probably for PR. Defects, especially charge trapping type, lend themselves to memory effects pretty easily, and nothing is ever defect free, so a lot of these defect-driven memories can appear under the right stress conditions.
A Sceptic
Charge trapping models for resistance switching would be open to objections which apply to all models which do not involve stable atomic/ionic rearrangements, i.e., phase changes, in localized regions of the considered materials: the memory states last for several years without decay, and it is hard to see that non-equilibrium charge distributions could exist for so long in thin-film devices.

Protecting your computer is extremely important these days, especially as it becomes a place to store a lot more private information. There are many ways savvy computer hackers can break into your computer, sometimes without you being aware.
No need to worry though, there are also many ways to help protect your PC. The most radical – and probably not practical – recommendation is to not download anything to your computer. This includes videos, photos, PDF files and documents. Of course, this basically renders your computer useless, so here are some more practical PC protection solutions:
Protect your passwords: If you share your computer with someone else, don't let the computer automatically save your passwords when opening different programs, and always enable the locked screen saver when you leave the computer.
Install a security blanket: Another way to protect your PC is to purchase a spyware program like SUPERAntiSpyware, which detects and removes malware and spyware threats, repairs broken Internet connections and runs scans on a prescheduled basis to ensure your computer is free from harmful software. This program is perfect for desktop and mobile computers, because it is designed to not slow down your PC while protecting it. Visit www.superantispyware.com for more information.
Update your system: Keep your computer systems fully updated for the latest protection against threats. New computer viruses, malware and spyware are being developed on a daily basis, and companies supplying operating systems will construct updates to help block these threats.
As you turn your PC on to read your emails, watch the latest YouTube video featuring your adorable niece performing a new trick, or balance your household finances, stop for a moment to wonder if your PC is secure, or if you're setting yourself up to advertise to the world your personal information stored on your computer.

- NFL executives not happy with proposals for stadium in downtown L.A.
NFL executives are dissatisfied with proposals to bring professional football to a downtown Los Angeles stadium, threatening the $1.2 billion project, according to sources.
The league has been in talks with Anschutz Entertainment Group to bring a team back to L.A., but league executives are unhappy with the company's offer, said a source familiar with the negotiations. And the developer hasn't offered an updated proposal in recent months, said the source.
Issues reportedly concern AEG's stake in a NFL team, how much the developer is willing to pay for that stake, and who would control issues such as marketing and licensing at the football stadium.
"No NFL owner would accept the terms proposed (by AEG)," the source told the Daily News.
The developer's proposal to build the stadium downtown hinges on the NFL commitment - the city won't sign off on the project until the developer signs a lease with a football team.
Still, AEG is preparing to unveil Thursday a 10,000 page environmental impact report, which will offer new details on the stadium designed by architecture firm Gensler.
AEG is seeking to build a 76,000 seat stadium near the Harbor (110) Freeway, a structure that would dramatically alter the downtown landscape and the South Park neighborhood.
Moving an existing NFL franchise from another city or putting another franchise in a new market is a complex process involving not only the partial or full sale
AEG spokesman Michael Roth declined to comment on the negotiations, but pointed to the developer's work on the EIR a document he said cost AEG millions to put together.
"Nothing has stopped our momentum moving forward with the stadium," Roth said.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy declined comment.

What people are saying - Write a reviewUser Review - Flag as inappropriate This book is beautifully written. It has a comfortable pedagogical approach without the condescending attitude which is the characteristic of most technical books. It is more suitable for a person who wants to do an in-depth study of Signals and Systems (SS) than to a person who needs a SS reference book. What separates this book from others is the fact that some of the worked examples are derived from practical situations in which SS analysis is required. The book is so thorough that it even explains the anatomy of the human ear ! Every major mathematical result in the book is analyzed and explained. Another wonderful thing about this book is its MATLAB section after each chapter. The relevant concepts covered in each chapter are then explored in MATLAB. Though some minor errors exist, they are few and not more than any other book. There are numerous end-of-chapter numericals (again, with a practical bent) but no answers/solutions are provided which can be rather irksome. The drill problems amidst the chapters are provided with answers.This book is a must-have for any SS learner due to its simplicity, practicality and perfection expressed in its content. Review: Signals and SystemsUser Review - Joecolelife - GoodreadsI think, this book is a very good one. It gives wonderful and precise introduction to the subject. Many examples with solutions provided make it very useful for self study. To my opinion, this book is wonderful. I may recommend to buy it. Read full review Related books

Ahhh I love florals & pink. Especially the flower on your belt!
Ohyeah, there was a tom boy phase that I went though too! I wore oversized t-shirts & all :/ - July 17, 2008 at 6:18 AM

oh, interesting thoughts... a couple of years ago, it was the same with me. i wouldn't have worn pink for anything in the world... not to mention any other girly-girly items. still, i'm not so much into skirts or dresses even now... i did however develop a style which incorporates all sorts of feminine things&colors, and it feels like me. that's what it's important, right? anyway, style is forever changing.

I was definitely not a girly girl when I was growing up. And those middle school years were crazy, I was into the whole punk look but I didn't go to the extremes.
I dislike how pink is marketed as the color for females, but yeah, that's just a thought... - July 17, 2008 at 6:49 AM

I've always been a mix - never too girl, but never really very tomboy-ish.
Love your dress and the cardigan is cute! - July 17, 2008 at 7:03 AM

Your dress is so adorable, and I love the shift dress from the post before, its amazing :]

I LOVE that dress and the photographs are soooo pretty! It's true colour does seem to denote gender still, I know how you feel. Pink as a colour is slowly being broadened in the sense that it is more 'acceptable' for men to wear. But it's true, it will still be a long time for those rather old fashioned views to be eroded.

Cute outfit, lovely photos, that flower is gorgeous!
I really don't have much to say in the way of color preferences, my color tastes change frequently. Since blue is "for boys", and pink is "for girls", a lot of couples who don't announce the gender of their baby get a lot of yellow things.. Is that another weird anti-gender thing? Idk! - July 17, 2008 at 8:08 AM

lovely dress. I know what you mean, my mother always made me or bought me these uber-feminine dresses when I was little, that I rebelled and went tomboy for a long time. Curiously, I'm rather drawn to the pretty now, but I always feel like I have to cut the sugar by wearing it with something say, black or grey and modern or masculine.
On the gender specific stuff, whenever a friend has a baby, my boyfriend and I buy them presents in gender-neutral colors (green, yellow, etc). It's our way of not contributing to the training. - July 17, 2008 at 9:00 AM

Oh you just look so pretty. That dress reminds me of a dress I had when I was wee. The floral belt is a nice addition.

This like many other feminist issues is a complicated one: do we girls love the color because it's somehow intrinsic to femininity, or is because it's showed down our throats since we're old enough to observe our surroundings. And if so is that the reason why it's viewed as a feminine color?
To thine own self be true, is the answer, I suppose. As per usual. And you do look so very lovely.
Charlie (the hubby) got me the Narwhal vs. it's natural enemies set. The natural enemies being a baby seal a baby penguin and a baby koala! Slanderous!
Oh and whereabouts in WA are you heading? We live (well, will live hopefully soon) on an Island just above Seattle. - July 17, 2008 at 9:03 AM

My husband & I were talking about this once; how when someone is having a baby, they'll usually begin to buy all pink if it's a girl & all blue if it's a boy. My husband asked me if it's possible for all blue to be bought if you're having a baby girl...
I just think it's funny how society molds the minds of people. I've been trying to voice my opinions on this in my blog, but I've been so tongue-tied. I think this is a hard subject to tackle. But you did it so effortlessly.
I always love coming here & reading your blog. :] - July 17, 2008 at 9:10 AM

How interesting. It reminds me of Juno, when Vanessa wants to paint the baby's room yellow until they know its sex, when they can add a "more decisive palette." And Mark's like, "Why does everything think yellow is gender neutral? I don't know any guy with a yellow bedroom."

That dress is gorgeous, especially with the red flower detail on the belt!
Hmm your thoughts on pink prompted me to think about my own relationship with the colour. My mom used to dress me up in it a lot, and when I was about 10 I rebelled against it by declaring my fave colours to be blue or turquoise. I still love blues and greens and I incorporate a touch of either colour into my outfits often, but lately I've "rediscovered" hot pink and I really love it. To me, it's a colour associated with sassiness and cheekiness. It also doesn't hurt that I look good in it. ;) - July 17, 2008 at 11:08 AM

When I was little I wouldn't wear trousers. I loved dresses, I even told my Mum to name my younger brother Dress when he was born.
Luckily she didn't. - July 17, 2008 at 11:30 AM
- Pudding and Pie said...
I personally wear a fair bit of pink, but I had a decidedly anti-dress stance from about 4 or 5 until high school. When my mom would finally manage to force me into a dress for a wedding or something, I'd always wear shorts underneath.
I think it's strange how colours can be tied to gender, but I don't know if it's something that will ever go away. - July 17, 2008 at 11:35 AM
- Arielle said...
The more I read your post, I realized how my childhood was practically identical. My mom is a seamstress and really influenced everything I wore. It was nice to finally be able to discover my personal style and add little flairs to the "typical girly-girl outfit" and it looks as if you have too. I like that the cardigan has a pattern to it and the belt paired with the dress

yes yes. and it falls both ways, too. my boyfriend's son would rather paint pictures and make crafts or write movies than push around a tonka dump truck. he also likes to walk around in the purple suede heels i bought for my etsy shop and has mini fashion photo sessions because he's seen me do it so many times and has become interested in what kind of "style" he has (he's always asking me questions about my "fashion thing"). he's just a kid having fun, and we don't say anything about it though it's outside the realm of what society considers normal boy play. of course all this could also be due to the fact that when he's not with us (no tv at our house) he watches entirely too much disney (or tv, in general) and absorbs everything hannah montana and jonas brothers to the point he often seems to be mimicking them ... which is another societal issue all together.

Hm...something to ponder. Colors are definitely influential, in terms of gender roles and such. I've never seen a baby boy wearing a pink bib. Or, at that stage is color simply used to let you know that the baby, is in fact, a boy or a girl?
Screw that. If I ever have a son, I'm painting his room pink.
You and your blog are magical.

I guess the lack of pink in my wardrobe is a kind of opposite reaction to the way pink is commonly associated with girls. I do wear the odd bit of pink, but only in a more "masculine" outfit. e.g. a pink top with a tailored jacket. I'm just a bullish teenager really!
It's interesting to ponder the extent to which these colour preferences are socially enforced and the extent to which they are a product of evolution. For example, scientists have suggested that pink may be associated with women as rosy cheeks would indicate youth and fertility - making them a desirable mate. As a result, women like pink as somewhere deep in our history as a species pink was a status symbol.
Oooh, don't you just love a bit of the ol' nature versus nurture, eh? - July 17, 2008 at 2:15 PM

lovely floral dress!
i used to detest pink, up until there as this really cute paul frank t-shirt I wanted in 7th grade and then the loathe of the color died haha. but yes it is annoying that despite how we're progressive we still only associate the same colors from the 1950s with genders. and now if a kid would like to try something diffrent and not stereotypically male or female, they're instantly labeled as transgendered! which is equally as bad and overly sympathetic, I know a family whose 3 year old son liked to wear his sisters clothes, so they immediatly put him in counseling and changed his name from Nathan to Natalie, no kidding, the kid is only 3! man! kids explore things at all ages and frankly playing with gender ideals shouldn't be controversial or indicative of something, because gender ideals shouldn't exist anymore! - July 17, 2008 at 3:05 PM
- Ca said...
Such a pretty dress and you top the whole floral theme with such a lovely belt, great!
You just dress the way you feel and don't let society dictate your style. Pink has moved a bit over to the male side of fahsion as well, and I like to think that the world is more open-minded. But then I experience days when people give me strange looks for not dressing properly "male", hah, so ridiculous!
Point being: dress the way that makes you happy! - July 17, 2008 at 3:39 PM

I really liked The Pink Project, and I do totally agree with what you are saying.
I also find it utterly stupid that all washing machine powders and washing up liquid adverts are ONLY aimed at women. I think the only one that I can remember that had a man in it was when his wife called from upstairs saying she had a "favour" (nudge, nudge, wink, wink) for him because he had done the washing up.
So we are supposed to do the washing up all the time, but when our husband does it we have to give out sexual favours?!!!

I love your outfit!
I honestly never thought of that.
I don't pay much attention to that sort of thing.
But i have to admit,
i love the idea of unisex clothing,
and grungy things.
At least in the fall.
But in the spring and summer,
pink and florals dont bother me at all.
random, sorry.

Totally. I've always been a very girly girl but I think that it's by default. I'm very tall (and used to be very large) so when I dressed in anything boyish I looked really butch. I still feel like I do. So rather than conforming to a stereotype I guess I was trying to avoid one. The girly thing just stuck!

lovely red cardigan and floral dress.
i understand wat ur saying.
ive taken notice that my wardrobe lacks many feminine pieces like girly dresses and skirts.
i need to stop wearing jeans alot, theyre so plain and everyone has them!

Nice post. I don't think I've ever been a super girly dresser, but I went through the "pink is the most amazing color!" phase. Nice way to wear pink. I actually have a dark pink cell phone, so I guess the marketing works haha.

You don't have a caustic attitude!
I've never been into pink, in fact I don't own anything pink but I'm still not affraid to embrace the feminine. I think you can be girly without pink, it is scary that we put people into boxes with using colours as labels.

Seems like I had a similar style journey to you. My childhood was filled with lace, florals, pink, hair clips, white socks and shiny shoes. High school was a cacophany of band shirts, jeans, converse and vintage jackets. Now I'm somewhere in between.
I don't have a problem with traditional gender roles as long as people make their own choices and for the right reasons. What I don't agree with is advertising brainwashing adolescent girls into thinking that they have to be something that they aren't. - July 17, 2008 at 6:47 PM

I love the poppies. Poppies, by the way, are one of my favorite flowers.
I've never really though of your style as girly before. Quirky and feminine, yes...but you don't look like a girly-girl. I think girly girls are girls who follow trends, dumb themselves down, and act shallow. You're definitely not that.
You know what's funny, I used to be completely obsessed with pink too. Everything I owned had to be pink... now that I think about it, it seems kind of strange. How all girls are obsessed with the color. Hmmmmmm... creepy. - July 17, 2008 at 7:27 PM

I have only just started taking photos of myself... and i kind of find it difficult.. but then it was the first time we took photos for my blog. you should check it out :)
like your post. it is so true, there is so much gender stereotyping around us. its nuts. even certain alcohol brands target some of their advertising at women only (well here in the uk anyways). i guess having your sisters influence you was a major thing when you grew up which is totally understandable. i have always liked pink and all girly things, but i think that is down to the fact that my family has a very strong female background and my sister and cousins are all girly girls.

Yeah, I noticed how techie stuff just gets pink all over it and what do you know, it's for a girl! I've never been a pink girl at all, not even red really, but I think having little pink things in my selection is nice because it balances out the tomboyness of my outfits and with those pieces it doesn't scream girly, its more of an ironic thing I guess.

Oh, that dress looks almost like the one from the film Love me if you dare, which btw, is a superamazing french film. Recomend it with all my heart if you haven't seen it yet.
Oh and on the pink subject, I despise everything that is pink, mainly because the girliness it stands for. I am really really allergic to it, once i bought a pink cardigan because it was really beautiful but everytime I put it on I had to take it off again, I just couldn't see myself wear it with pride. It's silly but yeah, i hate how everything is labelled pink just to show it's feminine. - July 18, 2008 at 8:10 PM
- Spandexpony said...
I often buck at things that are ultra feminine, but sometimes putting them on can be an act of subversion in and of themselves, for example, floral combat boots. I've read that pink is supposedly symbolic of the punana, as are heart-shapes (another ultra feminine motif). PS-- at risk of being the ten-thousandth person to give this to you, I have left you an award on my blog! Keep up the great posts!

17 billion iron oxide nanoparticles in just one milliliter of magnetic liquid
The product NanoTherm® is a so called ferrofluid, meaning a liquid that reacts to the presence of a magnetic field. The liquid's magnetic characteristic stems from its iron-oxide nanoparticles. Despite an average diameter of approximately only 15 nanometers (one nanometer is one billionth of a millimeter), the nanoparticles possess a strong magnetic character (referred to as superparamagnetism).
Due to their special aminosilane coating, these small magnets can be finely dispersed in water, forming a colloidal solution that is dispensable with a syringe. Once inside the alternating magnetic field applicator, NanoActivatorTM, these specifically designed nanoparticles are responsible for the production of warmth. As a "transducer" the nanoparticles can very efficiently change magnetic field energy into warmth and, due to their coating structure, remain in the tumor tissue as a stable depot. The unique characteristics of NanoTherm® are the foundation for the NanoTherm® therapy.

"An AR-15 (is) easier to shoot than a shotgun, there's less recoil in a .223 than a 12 gauge," wrote one online user. "A shotgun is not for everybody. Even in smaller (gauges), the recoil is too much for many people, and buckshot isn't nearly as precise as a rifle shot," wrote another.
Others hailed the benefits of a shotgun because "it doesn't need to be aimed precisely" and that "one or two shots should do the trick."
"It's safer than pistols re: accidents at home, especially involving children," wrote one user. "Unfortunately, there are too many GUN NUTS out there w/vivid imaginations... who lie awake at night thinking up imaginary dangers."
In the online chat, Biden said he does not favor constitutional amendments to adjust the Second Amendment, which is cited by both proponents of and those opposed to new gun regulations.
But, he said, the Constitution "does allow the government to conclude that there are certain types of weapons that no one can legally own."
The limits are imposed for "public safety," Biden said.
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday the nation needs to take sensible, common sense action to try to reduce "the scourge of gun violence in this country."
He declined to further comment on Biden's remarks, though he added that the vice president is a law-abiding gun owner who has both a 12-gauge and 20-gauge shotgun locked up in a safe in his Delaware home.
The Obama administration has been pressing for gun reforms since the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, where an AR-15-wielding gunman killed six adults and 20 children between the ages of 6 and 7.
