Steamer Baskets
What could be simpler than a steamer basket, whose sole purpose is to sit above simmering water in a pot? Lately we've noticed updated models boasting new innovative features. We rounded up six baskets (in bamboo, stainless steel, and silicone) and used them to steam dumplings, broccoli, and fish fillets. Our top pick was a compact, classic collapsible stainless steel model with a new twist: an adjustable center rod that allows for easier removal from the pot.

Victorinox (formerly Victorinox Forschner) 6-inch Straight Boning Knife: FlexibleThe nonslip grip and narrow, straight blade let testers remove the smallest bones with precision and complete comfort. Perfectly balanced with enough flexibility to maneuver around tight joints. The low price was a bonus. |
★★★ | ★★★ | $19.95 | |
Recommended | ||||
Wüsthof Classic Boning KnifeHefty in weight, this knife was a solid performer when removing poultry bones, and the handle was easy to grip, even when covered in chicken fat. Piercing silver skin was a challenge since the tip wasn't sharp enough and the long narrow blade produced slightly jagged cuts. |
★★ | ★★★ | $99.95 | |
Recommended with Reservations | ||||
Mundial Boning Knife: FlexibleThe sharp tip performed well when removing silver skin, but it was too flexible when maneuvering around poultry joints, leaving testers feeling a lack of control. The heavy handle was slightly unbalanced and became slippery once covered in poultry fat. |
★★ | ★★ | $19.95 | |
Not Recommended | ||||
Shun Gokujo Filet KnifeDesigned to replicate a samurai blade, this expensive knife was a disappointment. It struggled to pierce the silver skin, although long cuts were smooth and even. Minimal flexibility and extreme curve got in the way when maneuvering around joints. The smooth handle was hard to grip and slippery. |
★★ | ★ | $179.95 | |
MAC Boning Knife—Chef SeriesThe large, cumbersome handle reminded testers of an outdoors knife for fishing and hunting. The blade was too wide to maneuver around joints and it struggled to pierce silver skin. Unlike other knives, this boning knife could only slice in one direction, making intricate cuts around joints difficult. |
★ | ★★ | $34.95 | |
Messermeister San Moritz Elite Flexible Boning KnifeThe blade was so flexible it led to erratic cuttings; testers said the knife was hard to control. The blade was not sturdy enough to maneuver around joints and the lightweight handle felt flimsy and unbalanced. |

My friends and I stayed in these apartments for one night and we were shocked at how bad it was! When we went to the room, our balcony door was wide open and when we tried to shut it, it was apparent that the door and lock was broken. We tried to phone reception from the apartment but our phone was broken too. So after we went to reception, the girl […] looked like she did not care at all and said she would send someone up. After waiting for half an hour, no one appeared so we had to go back down to reception and were greeted with the same unenthusiastic response. After an hour and a half, someone eventually came and we had to sit for half an hour whilst he fixed our door. When we mentioned we were in a rush and had plans that evening so if it would be more convenient we could move rooms, it was apparent they didn't see this as an option. This was just the beginning and there were many other things that were unacceptable about our stay. We had no toilet paper on arrival, our television was broken, phone was broken, door was broken. Every dish in the kitchen was filthy and the glass doors looked like they hadn't been cleaned in months. Overall, a very poor stay!! Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Just about enough room in this modern apartment."
A very modern apartment, up-to-date and decked out in 'Next' furniture. The place is lovely inside but very poky. I expected nothing less...however scratch beneath the surface and you find wonky taps, dodgy plumbing and a lack of basic amenities such as soap in the bathroom. The apartment was satisfactory, convenient and just about comfortable, but […] I'm not sure I'd rush back. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

Stay was ok, but no onsite staff to help - spent 2 days with an orphaned ironing board and no iron - nobody onsite in the morning or evening to tell about it so 2 days of in-ironed shirts.

"Better value than a hotel room"
The apartment met expectations. Clean, decent size and better value than a hotel room for a similar price. You need to bring along shampoo, soap, washing up liquid, dish cloth, T Towel, unless you use the dishwasher. They supplied two tablets and washing machine tablet. Towels were supplied. Location is in the student part of the city, right by Picadilly […] station, and next to "The Place". Main issues were: lift was broken, and the fiddly system of getting in past keypad doors.

"Dont arrive late, no heating"
The room had no heating on when I arrived and took until 5am in the morning before a reasonable level of temperature was acheived due to just small electric heaters (one of which fell off the wall when I tried to turn it on). Needless to say I had a sleepness night. Might as well have caught an early train and not bothered with overnight accomodation!

"Only if you're desperate!!"
These could be nice apartments - nice size. But the standard of cleanliness was extremely poor - and the quality of some of the fittings was bad - cupboard doors not fitting in the kitchen, for example. Couldn't understand why a large jacuzzi was installed so that it intruded on the doorway to the bathroom, when a standard bath would have fitted perfectly […] - and probably have been much easier to keep clean. The person on reception was completely overworked at the time I checked in - but she did have a very pleasant manner and was very efficient in forwarding an invoice to me after my stay.

"Trouble in Paradise"
Excellent rooms but sadly the building is not being kept in good repair. We had to be moved three times to find a room with a working oven and television with a balcony door that actually locked. The staff were excellent and tolerated my complaints and once we were sorted (on the second day) we were left to our own devices in a fairly nice apartment […] located around the corner from the train station. Oh yeah, and when I rang the central number to complain about things they tried telling me that I should out up with things which only made me madder.

The hotel did not have good maintenance. Many broken furnuters even window's Handel. The water heater broke last day. Very dirty hallways. Most concern that when I came at 8 pm.

Stayed in a 2 bed apartment for one night. Check in was easy. Room fantastic with balcony. Clean and tidy and bed very comfortable. Would certainly recommend for anyone wanting to stay close to Manchester city centre.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
The management of the apartments have improved and the expectation of towels, soap and other items not being in the rooms has lessened. The rooms are well laid out and the bed very comfortable. There is still a problem with the locals getting into the entrance area and using it for drinking and smoking although at times they have had an attendant regularly […] checking. If you are expecting to arrive after about 5:30pm I would advise you to call the apartments and get the entrance codes. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Good location and great for family"
The apartment was spacious, clean and as it is still relatively new, so condition is good. Location is also excellent as it is near the train station and free city shuttle buses. Only minus was the lack of services. It shouldn't be called a services apartment.Αληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"Grotty apartment"
Very disappointing stay. The shower & sink in the en-suite were dirty when I arrived and the taps on the sink spewed out air and then brown water on first use.

The apartment (#1 on the first floor) needs thorough repair and refurbishment before it's offered for rent, otherwise […] the prices should be drastically reduced.

"Just About OK (If Your're Not Fussy)"
These apartments are in need of redecoration and substantial maintenance. For anyone wishing to self cater, and by that I mean to have a glass of wine, forget it. An apartment for 4, there were 3 glasses. No cloth for wiping up, no cloth to dry any washed dishes. The 'blurb' said that there would be toileteries. I wasn't expecting much, we got nothing..not […] even a sachet of shower gel. I would not consider staying here again. I visit Manchester regularly and have stayed in many different apartments. By far these were the worst. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com
"moldy oldy"
The MAX apartments are in an amazing location. The room was fairly well equipped, but there were a few issues. One of the selling points was the spa tub. There was no stopper for the tub. We would leave in the morning before anyone was at registration & returned after they had left. Because of this, we were never able to use the tub. Also, the list […] of equipment for the room said there would be a hair dryer & a tea towel. We had neither. We also had no towel bars, just bits of broken tile where it looked like they once hung. Our room was on the 3rd floor overlooking the canal and it was very comfortable. Unfortunately, we had a dark damp corridor full of black mold along the baseboards to walk through to get to the room. Lastly, the day before our departure, the lift broke and still wasn't fixed we left. All that being said, I would probably stay again if visiting Manchester because the location was that great.

There have been some improvements in the management of the hotel although there is a little way to go. For those booking through Hotels.Com there is still the issue of arriving after 5pm when the staff have gone.

For a hotel that was built less than a year ago, I was not impressed at all by the quality of the room. One of the toilets was propped up by a brick, in the other bathroom the faucet was not attached to the sink, the hot water tank leaked, neither the stove nor the range worked...it was all around a very disappointing room based on how it is portrayed […] online. That said, the service is very good - the clerk came up to see what could be done and provided us with extra towels and did what she could to make our stay more pleasant.

"Location ok- service not so ok"
Location of apartments is ideal next to the main station but that was let down by the lack of service available. To start there were 4 of us sharing a 2 bed but they only had 1 key- which meant constant problems if we weren't sure who would be back first. Then on one of the nights someone set the fire alarm off- after 2 hours of it going off we rang […] the emergency number as there is no 24 hour reception I was rudely told someone was on their way- basically if your staying here and there's a problem your on your own!

"Not a 4 star hotel"
We were a bit apprehensive when reading the reviews but we thought we'd give it a try. Upon arriving, check in was fast. Once we got to our room, it wasn't so great. The lock on the door to get to the elevator and to the rooms was broken and "fixed" by brown tape. The bathroom was not clean and the heated towel rail was hanging off the wall. Kitchen […] was the same with a cabinet door broken and placed on the side, freezer was dirty with used cutlery. We spoke to the receptionist and explained the condition of the room which the receptionist knew beforehand but did not mention upon checking in at all. We have no idea how this room was deemed acceptable for guests to stay in. We booked months in advance to stay for 7 nights. We were told that maintenance would arrive during the day to fix it and if it could not be fixed, we would be upgraded for free. After waiting we decided not to stay in the same room and requested a different room or an upgrade only to be told that we couldn't, even if we paid and that they were fully booked. At this point we considered cancelling the booking but then they managed to find an available room which we got eventually after several hours of dealing with the first room. We've stayed in a variety of hotel apartments in Manchester before and the size of the one bedroom apartment is quite small compared to others. Overall, there's no way we would even consider coming back to Max Serviced Apartments and definitely would not recommend it to anyone. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Hotels.com

It was a very clean and spacious apartment with a fantastic location. The reception staff aren't present over the weekend but whilst they were there they were efficient and provided all of the information that was required. Both check-in and check-out were straightforward and they were happy to allow us into the room an hour early.

You won't be able to find this place easily. Its called Max, not Picadilly. Then when I eventually found it by looking at the building numbers, I couldn't get in.

the apartments were hard to find, they are called 'The Max Apartments' it was not till we went in and was going to ask if the person behind could tell us were to find 'The piccadilly Central Apartments ' that we saw a small sign on the desk saying that it was the actual apartments. The man on reception was pleasent and told us the doors compination […] locks because after 6pm there would be now one on duty. Got up to the apartment and was very pleased modern and on first apperance very clean one or two things missed by the cleaners, our friend went to one of the toilets and someone had done a 'poo' in the toilet easy to flush but still missed by cleaner, also in the bedrooms and the other bathroom there was a few pistachio nut shells just left on the floor. Cleaners need to get their act together. We did not let these little problems upset us as the location is fantastic and the apartments served our needs. Then we get to late evening, we were on the ninth floor and the noise from outside was very noisy, and at 5am we were awoken by what i can only call a wailing banche, this rather silly girl had got locked out of her apartment because her friends had come home before her,(the apartment only has one key)she was screaming and banging., because there is no security or any one on the desk can not do a thing about it, cannot complain in morning because on a Sunday no one on the desk. I would stay here again but only because of Location. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia

"Excellent stay"
The staff were having problems when I arrived. The Internet was down and everything was paper based. They were working very hard to keep on top of things. The room was excellent. The main advantage of the Apartments is that you don't have to go out and find a restaurant to eat in. You can buy a light ready meal from M&S and enjoy it while watching […] TV.

"Awful - will never return"
The pictures of the apartment are deceptive - the apartments are tiny. The 1st we were offered had not been cleaned so we were moved to a 2nd. The details implied they were all new but the kitchen cupboards were tatty and 2 of the doors were broken and falling off. We planned to cook but not enough facilities.We couldn't watch tv as the aerial kept […] failing The pipes in the bathroom got so hot they actually burnt the towels drying on them - very dangerous. Nobody was available in reception to help. The room smelt of smoke and was dirty. Many of the other guests returned to their rooms at 4am so we were woken all night. We had planned this stay as a christmas celebration - the apartment spoilt it. Διαβάστε περισσότεραΑληθινό σχόλιο πελάτη της Expedia

Please help me find a good home for 'Coal'. He is 1 1/2 yrs. old Boxer and is neutered. He has all his shots. He is good with children and other dogs but wants to chase cats. He does not jump up on people and is well behaved. He requires a home where he is allowed inside to be part of the family and let out only on leash as he jumps 6 ft. fences like they aren't even there. If you are willing to allow my husband and I to bring the dog to your home to make sure everyone gets along, and that his living conditions would meet his needs, he is yours at no cost. He belonged to a neighbor who now realizes they can't keep him and I am trying to save him from the shelter. Thank you.

From the Captain:
Yep, life at sea on Zenith continues to teach me to roll with the punches while remembering that in between, if you slot in those epic sessions, things have a way of working themselves out. …..No stress & plenty-plenty irie….here's the Antigua story so far…
Mother nature has been somewhat fickle of late, providing mixed winds from 0 – 29kts and sending huge Northerly swells down from the East coast of the States. T1 enjoyed Barbuda and my secret spot, but T2 was denied (due to swell) so we concentrated on Green Island and making their Zenith Ocean Film. https://vimeo.com/57332439 A night kite playing with the camera, a 'Rowley' off the coach roof, my first un-hooked… not looking like MC Hammer in rehab(!)…and generally sublime times were had making the most of the massive Nonsuch Bay reef….
Juliet Lemon joined for T1 & T2. She is a professional photographer and offered her services to Zenith to shoot kiting and our lifestyles. I will be showcasing her amazing work with us soon but in the meantime her website is: http://julietlemon.com/
Provisioning again proved surreal due to the BIG north swell which meant the local fishermen couldn't go out either, resulting in a lack of fresh fish at ALL the markets…check out the photo below!!….
T2 over and time for the crew to get some personal kite sessions in. A new system blew through offering 20-29kts. BOOM. Georgie went out on a Park 8…and in her inimitable style she went BIG. A second boost from a gust sent her higher than she had ever been before and then it happened…KITELOOP SLAM.
Antigua is a hotbed for the yachting industry attracting ocean going adventurers from all corners of the globe. So I set about interviewing for the continued season…….
Zenith requires such a specialised set of skills and the selection process in mid 2012 for Georgie was long and arduous. Overall I look for an attitude comprising of a love for sea and adventure combined with a skill base to provide the level of service that says "this is ZENITH".
As I said things have a way of working out. The trick is to kite and not think so much…… Meet the new crew – 2 !!!
Enter Andrea:
Andrea and I met in St Lucia, pre season.
She is a master at her trade having over 10 years at the top flight of catering for the super yachts and uber rich. She is a seasoned adventurer with proven time served skills. Her passion is the ocean and cooking and when she heard the news of the vacancy on Zenith I have to be honest was surprised at her motives for joining. Poaching this (Chef) calibre of professional is a feather in the cap of Zenith indeed. This is what she had to say: " My present boat, a 40M sloop, has given me a great life and I ve travelled all over the world in my career on the biggest private yachts in the industry. I am grateful for all the moments and gifts life has sent me. Seeing the passion for kitsurfing and Zenith model reminded me of the things that the past few years didn't offer….and I've missed it. I would love to be part of your team, meet your guests and laugh while sharing the direct/close hands on experience of the expedition…..and your destinations..Wow they are soo different. Can't wait to see the Grenadines up close, not just through a port hole,." The Captain's reply: "SOLD"…instantly. ( I was like MC Hammer but NOT on a kite. I think I am in a whole heap of other trouble here |
Kinley was introduced to me by Georgie. He has a genuine zest for life and he is joining Meercat as part of his 'journey'. Our expedition will be richer for his company, and I am sure Zenith will enrich his travels and get him a few steps closer to Panama & the Pacific. Welcome…(nickname TBA)

Ford unveils EcoSport SUV for Europe
LONDON -- Ford Motor Co. today unveiled the European version of its EcoSport subcompact SUV, a model the automaker hopes will help counter the company's falling sales in the region.
The EcoSport joins a growing segment as increasing numbers of European buyers opt for high-riding vehicles. The EcoSport will compete against new segment entries such as the Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur as well as the recently launched Opel/Vauxhall Mokka.
The Peugeot 2008 and Renault Captur will debut at the Geneva auto show on March 4.
Ford said the EcoSport will go on sale in Europe at the end of the year, joining the recently launched new Kuga compact SUV. The automaker also plans to bring to Europe the next-generation Ford Edge, a larger and more premium SUV sold in the United States.
The European EcoSport is visually unchanged from the version that is already on sale in Brazil, where it was developed. Ford is expected to announce European production plans for the EcoSport at the Geneva show.
Ford unveiled the European EcoSport today at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Equipment announced for the car includes Ford's SYNC voice activated phone connection system. The technology will also allow drivers to control smartphone apps, also using their voice.
The EcoSport will be offered in Europe with three engine options: a 125-hp 1.0-liter, three-cylinder gasoline engine, a 110-hp 1.5-liter gasoline unit and a 90-hp 1.5-liter diesel.
The EcoSport is based on Ford's global small car platform that also underpins the Fiesta subcompact hatchback.
Ford's passenger vehicle registrations fell 26 percent in January in the EU and EFTA, according to industry association ACEA, in a total market down 8.5 percent.

00Transparency has gotten worse not betterWilhelm HeisenburgIt used to be you could go look up in the budget bills the amount each program got. Since Obama took office, all you can see is the amount each agency and subagency is given . The mounts programs are given are obscured. This is transparency? I only get what my agency verbally tells me, nothing in writing anymore. Transparency? Its all talk and anything but.

Last night on the PBS show Bill Moyer, the guest speaker brought up that the true donors are kept anonymous through 3rd parties which was not the intention of the Supreme Court ruling. Since the politicians take the term Civil Servant literally, now you cannot bring attention to these donors and the economy is still down, I foresee the Govt employees getting round two of the penalties and demonization. I used to rely on NARFE, but they seem to be ineffective especially since I could never match the contributions of millionaires.

The best part is that most of the other people walking down the street along with me took GREAT PAINS to appear nonchalant about the coffin, like it's was something that's always there, or something beyond insignificant, akin to a crumpled coffee cup rolling in the breeze. And I mean, I will be the first one to admit that there is a lot of weird stuff to be seen around here, and as such, we're desensitized to an extent, but COME ON. Take that lady in the shot above, for instance. She wouldn't even LOOK at the coffin, such was her feigned disinterest. Oh, New Yorkers. I'm pretty sure I'm about to get kicked out of the state for both looking at and taking a picture of it.

Buzzer beater: Liberty defeats Centennial with last-second goal
BY CHRIS O'DELL, email@example.com
FRISCO -- Centennial and Liberty entered the 80th minute of Friday's District 18-4A showdown knotted at a goal apiece.
Sophomore Phillip Le made sure the game didn't end with a shootout, scoring the tie-breaking goal with just three seconds left on the clock to give the Redhawks a 2-1 victory.
"We were knocking on the door," said Fred Kaiser, Liberty head coach. "We just couldn't finish until then."
Liberty had several opportunities to score the equalizer before halftime but got denied by Centennial senior goalie Cory Deflice.
"[The Redhawks] came out strong," said Robert Watson, Centennial head coach. "They're the first-place team in district for a reason."
Deflice made the game's biggest stop in the 46th minute on a PK attempt from Liberty senior Vince Koch. A diving save preserved Centennial's one-goal lead until Liberty was awarded another PK just two minutes later.
"That was huge," Watson said. "If we don't have another one like that, we definitely have the momentum swing in our favor."
Deflice, who signed with Hill Junior College in February, couldn't make it back-to-back stops and surrendered a goal to Liberty senior Zach Tiongson in the 48th minute. Tiongson's score evened the game and sparked a Liberty rally that featured multiple scoring opportunities in the final half.
"We had a good three of four chances," Kaiser said. "We just couldn't get it in the back of the net."
Junior midfielder Stian Sandbekkhaug came close to giving Liberty its first lead of the night in the 70th minute after blasting a shot just wide of the post.
"It was a good game," Watson said. "We had a few opportunities down there but just couldn't finish."
Trying to rebound from Tiongson's game-tying goal, the Titans nearly regained the lead in the 78th minute when Parks was forced to stop a header on net. Soon after, the Redhawks regained possession and went coast-to-coast before Le scored the game's decisive goal to prevent a shootout.
"[A shootout] would have been close," Watson said. "Shootouts really become a roll of the dice."
The score came without Delice in net after the senior broke a finger midway through the second half and sat out the remainder of the game.
"It's a good possibility he's out for the rest of the season," Watson said.
The Titans fell to 10-12-2 on the year and 4-4 against district counterparts with a March 19 game against Frisco next in line. With just two games remaining in the regular season, Centennial needs just one win to clinch a postseason berth.
The Redhawks maintained their grip of the top spot in district by improving to 18-2-1 on the season and 7-1 against 18-4A foes. Liberty looks to stay on the winning track with a 7:30 p.m. contest at Heritage on the same day.
"It's another real tough team," Kaiser said. "From top to bottom, [Heritage] is the real deal."

Evolution and Immunity: Same Story?
The evidence suggests that God has chosen to work through a random process, one which involves the routine creation and destruction of millions of cells that never get used. This is the ordinary means by which God maintains our health. The miracles of healing recorded in the Bible are miraculous precisely because they don't occur by this normal, natural process.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Raising Children to Pursue Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Science and Faith on a Secular Campus
While many Christian colleges actively seek to help their students engage issues of faith and science constructively, few secular colleges are active in promoting the conversation. As a professor at a secular school, how can I encourage my students to authentic engagement and dialogue on science and faith issues?
Mending the Disconnect
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
The State of Evolution (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about evolution and public education in the United States. The graphic, titled "The State of Evolution", draws upon sources from USA Today, the National Center for Science Education, and Pew Forum, and shows two challenges to a widespread understanding of the science of evolution in the United States.
Allaying Parental Fears About Evolution Education in Public Schools
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
Series: Southern Baptist Voices: Evolution and Death
This exchange brings together related essays on death in light of evolution and Scripture from Southern Baptist theologian Dr. John Laing. Laing argues that evolutionary theory requires death to play a central role in the creation of new life, but sees Scripture depicting death only "as an invader, disturber of peace, and a force of evil." A BioLogos response is given by Dr. Jeff Schloss.
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
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).
Possibilities and Second Chances
In today's video, Dr. Rick Colling states that evolution is not merely the imposition of death and destruction and survival of the fittest. Rather, it is about second chances.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 2
Despite their somewhat mysterious nature, transposon sequences make up a staggering 45% or more of our genome. They are the perfect parasites: using their host to provide resources, they maintain a "lifestyle" so simple that replication is essentially their only feature.
Dead Bones with a Living Message
In this video, Pääbo covers a lot of ground, noting several lines of genetic evidence for the evolution of modern humans from earlier hominids in Africa, as well as for the interbreeding between early humans and Neanderthals.
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.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
Was Humanity Inevitable?
If the tape was rewound and evolution started over from scratch, Conway Morris says, the evolutionary details would be different, but the end result would be similar: a species characterized by intelligence and complex civilization.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.

The vision of this Intimate Night Of Worship (Intimate N.O.W.) is to facilitate a night where God can take the reins and everyone can come together and worship through different avenues.
There will be music, communion and the Word, and focus will be on personal repentance, surrendering and leaving things at the foot of the Cross and reconciliation and restoration.
The night will revolve around music, but there will be areas set up to facilitate each area of ministry mentioned above. Attendees will be free to sit, stand, sing and spend time in any of the worship areas. The night will be surrendered to God, praying and expecting Him to work in the lives of those who are there in such a way that Beeville would begin to change and bring glory to His Name – breaking down walls, healing hurts and bringing restoration to broken relationships.
This non-denominational event was scheduled to be held at the Beeville Community Center on Friday, Jan. 4, at 7 p.m. with several churches in the area facilitating in the worship and other ministry.
All are welcome to this event and everyone is free to come and go as they felt led.
More information on Intimate N.O.W. can be found online at http://www.facebook.com/IntimateNow.

The race card at each meeting features flat racing, winter-style trotting and the local speciality, skijoring -- an awkward combination of horse, human and skis which is a clear crowd favorite.
Horses for White Turf are brought to St Moritz from all over the world, including Hungary, Italy, France, Germany and the UK.
Before they set hoof onto the snow they have to undergo a change of shoes, a feat made possible by farrier Christian Lampert, who replaces regular shoes with a set containing winter grips and a unique layer of silicone to prevent snow sticking to hooves.
"This has been invented and patented here in St Moritz. Without this, a pack of snow would form underneath and the horse would slip. It keeps the snow away," he said.
Instead of adhering to hooves, the trampled snow forms a perilous kickback cloud fired into the path of the jockeys, who also need protection.
"It's like snowballs being thrown at you by a half tonne man, so it can be quite sore at times," said jockey Robert Havlin.
To counter this, he sports a mask used by motocross riders in muddy conditions. En masse it produces the effect of a cavalry of Star Wars Clone Troopers riding into battle.
Another addition to the jockey wardrobe at White Turf is an oversized pair of fleecy slippers which would look less out of place on a circus clown -- vital footwear to cover riding boots while hanging around on a frozen lake before the race.
Even at this high altitude, the horses are physically able to handle the strain.
"The altitude for the heart and lungs is not a problem for the horses," said vet Annina Widmer.

The Celebrity Cult
Although they are referred to simply by their first names, everyone knows who they are—Oprah, LeBron, Angelina, Bono, Beyonce, Tiger, Arnold (said with an accent), and many others. The world of technology has created a new religion of celebrity, and the worship is extensive.
I am certainly excited to spot such people in New York or LA; it's fun to recognize someone seen on the big or little screen. So what's wrong with that?
This quote from James C. Howell's book Servants, Misfits, and Martyrs made me think:
In this narcissistic, self-pleasing culture, we welcome celebrities because we lack imagination and courage. Traditional heroes make demands on us, but celebrities make no moral claim on us. Glittering stars in our culture merely feed our narcissism, our love of self, our addiction to everything our society finds pleasurable. No one ever asks how our constant exposure to the rich and famous is supposed to make us good or wise or faithful. Even if we are trying to live faithful lives, our minds are always being reshaped, just a little, into the image of what surrounds us. But heroes—saints—stretch our imaginations and stand as imperatives, calling, wooing us into a higher, holier, life.
Ouch! Never have I considered myself a celebrity follower because I am not impressed with their lifestyles or character. My exposure to them isn't a 10, but I am on the scale. I am captivated by their homes, clothing, and beauty (unless their skin looks weirdly and artificially stretched).
Such interest may numb me to God's best. When I notice their clothes, I feel less guilty about enlarging my own wardrobe. Upon seeing images of their homes, I feel entitled to a more luxurious place to live. When they are pictured enjoying the world, I yearn for trips to exotic destinations. Such things slowly immunize me to God's call to unselfishness, sacrifice, and love.
Christian heroes aren't perfect, but they do desire to become like Jesus, focusing on his kingdom, not this world. Rather than acclaim, they seek God's approval. We can't identify them by their number of followers, because many Christian celebrities live just like those in the world. Instead, we recognize them by their character: selflessness, love, generosity, grace, and courage. A Christ-like life convicts me to give more, live with less, and sacrifice my own agenda to serve God.
Let's choose to fill our minds with less celebrity and more heroes. Let's quit focusing on people whose lives don't make us better. Instead, let's identify saints whose lifestyles call us to Christlikeness and allow their influence to draw us to worship God alone.

The number to pay attention to is 40 Million why is that important because thats the number of Credit Cards a hacker may have stolen. Yes 40 Million.
I am not surprised and I expect that before long we will be able to visit a website and enter our social security number or our credit card number to just find out if we need to live in fear that our entire world is about to be turned upside down.
I am not sure about you but I think companies should be fined a HUGE outrageous amount of money every time they expose our personal information to the world. That money should be divided equally and given to the people who's data was stolen. Time for someone mainly Congress to get very tough and put down some legislation that has some teeth.
While we are at it scrap all of our SSN numbers and come up with something that can be protected. Better yet lets put a credit alert on every citizen in this country for the next 12 months so that they can raise awareness and get a handle on all of these breaches [BBC]
