Does Evolutionary Psychology Explain Why We Believe in God? Part 1
When we look across times and cultures and find very similar beliefs concerning the nature of physical, biological, and psychological reality, those similarities cry out for some explanation. Since these different individuals have a very diverse range of experience, something other than common experience alone just might account for the similarities of belief. In some cases we can fairly conclude that there is a common nature – some fundamental similarity in how human cognition works – that underlies broadly shared beliefs.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Science and the Bible: Assessing the Evangelical Encounter with Evolution
Having now completed our study of the five main views about "Science and the Bible" held by conservative Protestants, I conclude with a final column, assessing the whole situation as I see it today.
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Series: Shaping the Human Soul
In Washington DC, Church of the Advent teamed up with The Trinity Forum to offer a series of lectures exploring the synergy between modern science and Christian Faith. This presentation by psychiatrist Curt Thompson and philosopher James K.A. Smith addressed the process of Christian discipleship and spiritual formation through the lens of neuroscience.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Dispatches From the Physicalist Frontier, Part 1
I'm a physicalist when it comes to human persons. I believe, in other words, that we are wholly physical objects. I don't believe there are non-physical souls in the natural world. So I don't believe that we are or have such non-physical souls as parts. I believe we are through-and-through physical.
Rediscovering Human Beings, Part 1
That we are animals is something we hardly needed Darwin to tell us. It is obvious from the fact that, like other animals, we have stomachs and skin, eyeballs and ears, limbs and teeth, muscles, brains, and other organs. Yet it doesn't follow that we are mere animals.
Body and Soul, Mind and Brain: Pressing Questions
"Bit by experimental bit," writes philosopher P. Churchland, "neuroscience is morphing our conception of what we are." For many, this includes dispensing with the "soul" in favor of biologically anchored processes.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".

Customer Reviews for Large Windows Green Privacy Panel Track Window Blinds
"Easy Install"
By pmak from coloraod
Came exactly as they advertise. We ordered samples first.
View this product"Look great"
By Jay from Pittsburgh PA
I love the way these blinds look in our Man Room. We decided to go with a blind with a backing (not black out)and what a great choice. They were fairly easy to install. I ordered the valance, but I proabably would not have installed one had I seen the blinds without a valance, because they look great without it

The Sunshine Skyway Bridge
Opened to traffic in 1987, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a cable stayed bridge with a vertical clearance of 191 feet above the 1,200-foot wide shipping channel over Tampa Bay. The sight is beautiful and majestic as you cross depending on the time of day. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge is a popular tourist attraction as well as a favorite among St. Petersburg residents and visitors year in and year out. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge carries not only Interstate 275, but it multiplexes with US 19 from Exit 17 (54 Av S) to Exit 5 (US 19 South).
Here's a picture of some great architecture...
A gendarmerie or gendarmery is a military or paramilitary force charged with police duties among civilian populations. Members of such a force are typically called "gendarmes". The Shorter Oxford English Dictionary describes a gendarme as "a soldier who is employed on police duties" and a "gendarmery, -erie" as "gendarmes as a body". The term maréchaussée (or marshalcy) may also be used (e.g., Royal Marechaussee) but is now uncommon.
Here's a picture of the boats they use. Look at those sleek lines...

Please read the "Low to High" reviews before purchasing this bed. It will save you a lot of time and money. Unfortunately, I did just the opposite and paying the price. The bed support structure is poorly designed - it seems the company has tried to correct the problem based on the earlier bad reviews by adding a few more flimsy wood slats and these crazy little "plastic legs" that you screw into the slats from the floor up. THE PROBLEM - in addition to the flimsyness, if you ever want to move your bed (even just an inch) you would have to rescrew each of the 15 plastic screws each and every time. I can surely see why others say the bed totally feel apart after six months. I think I may go ahead and purchase a box spring early on, and see if I can replace it where the wooden slates and plastics legs are. Hope this helps...
I didn't expect the quality and price to be this impeccable. The bed in amazing in person. It is very modern and contemporary. it is fit for a king or queen only. My husband and i have enjoyed this bed and it's only been up a week. We have received several compliments from those that have entered the kingdom to view it.
This is an AWESOME headboard. My husband and I wanted something more of a sleigh bed look w/ leather covering BUT this one is EVEN better. Its elegant and looks EXPENSIVE. Made of PU but the job done is so clean it totally looks and feels like leather. LOVE the price!!! Everyone that has seen it asks how much we got it for and they can't believe it...PLUS $1 shipping! Assembly was not too bad =) Even I could of done it...but my hubbie did it in less than 30 mins. THANKS O.co!
We love this bed. It is good looking, well-made (aside from the pressboard wooden slats on the bottom), and very strong. It has feet and is off the ground but not high enough for our cat to climb underneath the bed. We would definitely recommend this bed to others.
I got the bed today and my husband put it together less than an hour. When I went to upstairs, I was stunned by the look! Absolutely beautiful! I kept saying how pleased with the purchase with the bed to my husband! My bedroom looks luxury and bigger now! The quality is fantastic! The price is unbeatable! I love it, love it! Thank you, overstock!
I would recommend this one to anyone! Looks great and it is very sturdy. Easy to build. You will need a box spring or platform plywood. I put platform plywood from American Signature Furniture and it looks great because mattress sits low. If you put box spring, it will get some height and will not look like the one in the picture.
Are you looking for a quality bed? I was to for almost 4 weeks, literally searching the web for an hour or so each day to see where the best value was. My search kept bringing me back to Overstock and this bed in particular as we wanted a padded headboard (makes reading at night more comfortable). After reading the reviews multiple times and seeing the "excellent" far outweigh the negative we decided to pull the trigger last Sunday night. The bed was originally scheduled to deliver in 10 business days but instead came in 5 business days (it arrived yesterday) in two large boxes weighing approximately 79 pounds each. I did have some reservations about some comments on here that mentioned putting the bed together was somewhat difficult. This is far from the truth, it was rather easy but tedious as it is a large bed! My one recommendation is if you purchase and when assembling the head board is to put the lower half connecting boards on first loosely (bolts) and standing the headboard up to be able to have some play when connecting the upper piece. The look of the bed is rich and we are very happy. If you are looking for a "BROWN" bed I would not purchase this bed but if you are looking for a "BLACK" bed this one's a winner.
This bed exceeded my expectations. My husband put it togetherin no time and we enjoyed it tremendously. We were very impressed with the quality for the price and it looks very elegant. We have a box during and mattress and the head board still had plenty of height above the mattress. My husband is 6'5"and it is great for him, he can just sit back and get right in the bed, I now need a step stool lol. I just ordered a comforter set from overstock and can't wait to get that on the bed!
absolutely love the look of this bed. the entire bed comes in two boxes and goes together quite easily. however, the frame that holds the boxsprings is made of unfinished wood with rough, exposed wood. received several splinters during assembly. also, the plastic pegs at the bottom of the frame are a nuissance. there is no way to secure them, so every time you move the bed to clean underneath, they fall out. you have to physically remove the mattress and box sprint to get to them to reapply them to the frame. a major waste of time. for the price of this bed, i got what i deserved. the look of the bed outweighs the annoyance of the frame.
The frame was too wide and we had to have it narrowed. Several of the legs for the wooden slat supports were broken (bent, plastic cracked) upon arrival. I am not at all happy with the bed, and would not recommend this product to anyone.

Fixed Assets Management
Fixed assets are defined as any 'permanent' object that a business uses internally. Without an accurate method of tracking of these assets, it would be very easy for a company to lose control of them. Manual fixed asset management methods are labor intensive and add considerably to the total cost of asset ownership. Our Fixed Asset Management software allows companies to track what assets it owns, where each is located, who has it, when it was checked out, when it is due for return, when it is scheduled for maintenance, and the cost and depreciation of each asset. Unlike most systems, our system is user friendly, and easy to understand. The system also allows organizations to manage and monitor their procurement processes. In order to provide our clients with a powerful and flexible system, our Fixed Asset Management System offers six different asset depreciation methods such as: reducing balance, straight line, sum of years, unit activity, unit time, and units of production.
The system is able to accomplish a powerful management system through the following features:
It is usually a challenge for organizations to manage their assets. Fixed Assets Management Systems are an important concern of every company, regardless of size.
Our Fixed Assets Management System can help your organization:

- Track asset information
- Maintain historical information and requirements
- Track record of depreciation and asset life cycle management

- Asset Disposal by Asset Number
- Gain/loss on Asset Disposal
- Asset History
- Asset Register
- Depreciation Summary
- Asset Data – enables you to store all the important details about the asset. Giving employees the opportunity to produce documentation about an asset at any given time.
- Asset Account– enables you to create a unique account for each asset, that would include the initial cost, its transfers, depreciation values, net values etc.
- Asset Control/ Tracking – captures an asset's signing in and signing out details, such as the employee, the department, date asset was signed out, date asset was signed in, duration, reason for sign out, and user fields.
- Asset Depreciation & Disposal – captures the asset's depreciation method, depreciation date, estimated life span, salvage value of an asset, net book value,time of disposal, and reason for disposal.
- Asset Maintenance – stores details such as maintenance due dates for each asset, and its maintenance history.

Organizations spend a lot of money, and many man hours to collect, store, classify and search through data records to find useful information. Most organizations collect and store information manually; resulting in a lot of error and data loss, as human beings are more likely to make mistakes or lose information. Overtime, as the amount of data grows, it eventually overwhelms individuals who find that they must turn to Data Management Systems in order to store and manage their data. Our Data Management System enables organizations to rapidly deploy and manage any database that they require necessary. The system makes it possible to create different databases, such as, contracts management, customer relationships management, fleet management, case management, grant management, funds management, etc.
This system can easily achieve this through the following features:
The value of any organization rests on its ability to quickly make informed and effective decisions. But the organization's decision-making power is only as strong as its underlying data. Weak data erodes confidence, creates delays or worse – it could lead to misguided judgments. Alternatively, our Data Management System is a robust data platform that provides a foundation for accountability, operational efficiency and the development of innovative products and portfolios.
Our system allows organizations to:
- Improve institutional memory - can archive data for many years and have it available to you at the click of a button. With our system, it becomes possible to accumulate data over long periods of time and quickly access it in order to find what you need when you need it.
- Reduce Data Management Overheads - allows you to structure your data and organize it into databases that you can help you quickly find what you want ,when you want it. Our system also integrates with our document management software, to help you link data to relevant documents, allowing you to do context-based document recovery by simple clicks.
- Automate Validation and Verification Processes - automates the validation and verification process highlighting errors such as typos, duplicate records, and other errors before they are processed.
- Link to Data Collection Tools - links data collection tools to streamline collection and eliminate multiple entry points. We can extend our system to link to mobile devices and other hardware to collect data directly from the source. This not only reduces errors, but costs as well; since data no longer has to be entered at multiple stages in the pipe line.
- Improve your Auditing and Reporting Ability - allows you to generate very sophisticated reports quickly and cheaply. Once defined, these reports can be quickly generated as PDF, html, or word documents to be provided to auditors, donors and other partners when needed. These reports can also be archived on the document management system for later use.
InSIST's Data Management System offers the following key features:
Document Management
Managing documents and the flow of information within an organization is a very difficult process that costs companies millions annually. The cost of employee productivity is equally high and companies often try without success to find bandages to these problems. Our Document Management System simplifies business information flow and can save you time on searching and retrieving information within the system. The system allows organizations to archive documents in soft form and make them available to all parties in real time, without ever having to print on paper. This system supports software based minuting; which helps accelerate the decision making process, while making original documents secure, and reduce the chance of these sensitive documents being destroyed.
Furthermore, it allows organizations to track internal documents and control access to sensitive information. The powerful indexed-search capability of our Document Management System makes it easier to find documents, especially when the volume of documents increases.
The powerful reviewing capabilities incorporated in this system allows for different types of reviews, such as, actionable and editorial reviews. The system also has a version control feature that creates a new version each time a document is edited and saved; this helps in accountability purposes. It also is a great way to go back to older versions of a document, in order to review and compare previous versions.
The system is able to accomplish this through the following features:
- Archiving
- Document-Keeping
- Version Control
- Editorial Reviews
- Software-Based Minuting
- Document Work Flows
- Document Security
As any company grows, the volume of a its documents continues to grow, and so does the challenge of managing those documents. Companies generate thousands of documents for many reasons and filing them becomes a hassle.
Our Document Management System will help you:
- Archiving– stores all versions of the document in an internal archive, and the content managers can Preview or Restore old versions of a document at any given time.
- Document-Keeping- organizes, stores, secures, and shares documents much more efficiently. It is also able to track and store electronic documents and images of paper documents
- Version Control– tracks and controls changes made to a document. Changes are identified by a number termed the "version number". For example, an initial set of files is "version 1". When the first change is made, the resulting set is "version 2", and so on.
- Editorial Reviews– allows for employees to assign documents for editorial reviews so that managers can make sure documents are well written, and this also ensures that all documents/letters leaving the company are up to company standards.
- Software-Based Minuting– captures all relevant information from a meeting, workshop, presentation, etc, and allows minuting to be done on the system so that it is easily accessible to everyone who has access rights to it.
- Document Workflows– signifies the flow of documents among employees. The system provides decision-support information before initiating actions.
- Document Security– gives you unprecedented control over access due to the powerful permissions capabilities the system has in place. Based on the document hierarchy, employees are only allowed to view a document if they are given viewing rights. It also incorporates access logs, which ensures security and accountability, by monitoring who is viewing what documents.
InSIST's Document Management System offers the following key features:
Productivity Suite
Our InSIST Productivity Suite is the Basic IBS Package. It is a group of productivity and collaboration tools provided for businesses, in order to facilitate their day-to-day business processes. Recent evaluations have determined that organizations spend an inordinate amount of time and money on productivity solutions, including email, calendar, productivity, and collaboration tools. In addition, the lack of common software has led to significant fragmentation and inefficiencies within organizations. By consolidating the task, contact, calendar, and email management, organizations are now positioned to save money, increase efficiencies, and promote connectivity among management, employees, customers, suppliers etc.
Our Productivity Suite includes the following modules:
Our Productivity Suite does not only facilitate day-to-day processes for organizations, but they are made to improve collaboration within your organization, and help the communication flow between the different departments.
Using our InSIST Productivity Suite will allow organizations to:

InSIST Business Gateway
Get Everything You Need in a Single Solution
InSIST Business Gateway (I.B.G.), is a software-based network security appliance. It controls internet traffic, blocks viruses and malicious software before it gets to any computer.
Other "solutions" require multiple, expensive hardware deployments to get the same features that IBG offers. IBG is the only multifunction firewall solution to offer everything you need as an "application" that you can turn on or off from a virtual rack; radically simplifying network management. Apps are available individually or in packages.
This gateway solution is able to accomplish this through the following features:
With network security in place, your company will experience many business benefits. Organizations can now be protected against business disruption, which helps keep employees productive. Network security also helps your company meet mandatory regulatory compliance, helps protect your customers' data, and reduces the risk of legal action from data theft.
Ultimately, network security helps protect a business's reputation, which is one of its most important assets.
In addition to these benefits, IBG can also help you:
InSIST Business Gateway offers, but is not limited to the following key features:
- Web filter - enables administrators to block inappropriate web content in real time. This feature also blocks encrypted sites (HTTPS) by category. Great for proxies and other sites that use HTTPS to obfuscate themselves.
- Application Control - Identify hundreds of applications like social networking, peer-to-peer, instant messaging, video streaming, file sharing, enterprise applications, etc. This feature also allows administrators to control any unwanted or untrusted applications without having to block entire websites or protocols.
- Spam Blocker - protects the network with advanced spam filtering techniques to weed out spam at the network gateway -- before it reaches the mail server or desktops.
- Bandwidth Control - allows you to better manage the bandwidth consumption on your network, including controlling and visualizing the use of your network at a fine-grained level.
- Policy Manager - enables administrators to fine tune network privileges. Policy Manager's intuitive GUI and "virtual rack" metaphor makes it easy to create network-access policies by username, by time or day of the week. Policy Manager even makes it possible to block access to common productivity-killing website like Facebook during working hours, but keep it available during lunch and after hours.
- Intrusion Prevention - blocks hacking attempts before they reach internal servers and desktops. It also blocks known attacks in their tracks. Working transparently on your network, this innovative application uses thousands of signatures to detect, block and log intrusion attempts, using industry-standard rules
- Virus Blocker - protect your entire network from virus threats with our purpose-built antivirus application. Whether it's a virus, worms, Trojans or malware, our Virus Blocker keeps emails, webmail, downloads and file transfers safe with the latest advances in antivirus technology, and works within a variety of different protocols.
- Phish Blocker - protects your network against phishing attacks - emails that direct users to fraudulent websites with the intent to steal personal identity, credit card information and more. Phish Blocker marks phishing emails and puts them in a user's quarantine.
- Attack Blocker - helps administrators prevent Denial-of-Service attacks and keep the network focused on legitimate uses. Attack Blocker can also quickly identify unauthorized use of network resources and stop those resources from being allocated to unauthorized users.
- Firewall - lets you block unwanted activity and protect your network. You can build a list of rules that meets your unique needs - control traffic by protocol, port, IP and more, as well as set a default action for when no existing rules match. Firewall evaluates traffic traveling across your network by applying your rules until a block/pass verdict is reached or a default action is taken.

"You don't wanna be in Taco. You wanna be in Gap 2" - Monty installing defense
I would agree normally, but the team wants him to be a PG where he's been a scorer his whole career. There were guys drafted behind him who are alot more ready, but they wouldn't start on this team long-term. This team needed a SF and PG and they felt he was the best available out of those two positions. He definitely wasn't the best player available in general, just out of those two positions. He's got a long way to go to be a productive starting PG, especially when he can't shoot at all. Who can he expect to play off of Gordon when he can't shoot.
Emeka Okafor - Al Jefferson - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Aaron McKie
Joe Smith - James Posey - Mateen Cleaves
Getting blown out after 5 days of practice cant feel good. Not even is a meaningless game. Then again, the Saints sucked in pre-season when they hit the reset button in '06, look how that turned out.
Guess who is putting in time at WBOK 1230 AM Talk Radio... Don't guess, it's me. Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Talk with Roe Brown and you might just hear me!
Feel free to PM me for details.
Next game Monday @ Dallas.
Open practice Saturday.
Game ends with Roberts, Wright, Miller, Alabi, and Warrick on the floor.
so we scored 26 points in the 2nd half... equals what we did in the 1st qtr alone... and what the Hawks did in the 3rd qtr alone
Looks like it'll be us and the Pistons getting thrashed tonite.
Hopefully next game is televised. Dallas schedule says its televised on KTXA. Hope that means NBALP
Houston and Miami will be televised as well.
We're looking like a Jump shooting team. We're going to have hot and cold stretches. Good thing, Gordon has the ability to slash and score around the basket at a good rate. Rivers is learning that it's hard to score in the post at the NBA level. His struggles in preseason thus far has been finishing around the basket. He's going have to adapt fast to contribute.
Thanks for the updates guys.
2004-2005 Sim League World Champion Los Angeles Lakers
That 3rd quarter--holy schnikes! If they are going to have stretches like that, I hope they get it out of their systems in the preseason.
With purple and pinstripes from days gone by, I trumpet Hugo's name to the NOLA sky.
When rebranders and posers abuse their might, beware my power, TEAL LANTERN'S LIGHT!

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Barolo Riserva Ginestra is a rich, layered wine that captures the essence of this great vintage. Dark plums, black cherries, tar, leather and licorice all make an appearance in this kaleidoscopic, multi-dimensional Barolo. Each taste brings with it a new shade of nuance, expressing the..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Cannubi sweeps across the palate with layers of dark red fruit, flowers, subtle French oak, mint, licorice and spices. This is an especially pliant, generous 2008 laced with expressive fruit and fabulous overall balance. The south-facing Cannubi yields a juicier more fruit-driven..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Barolo Colonnello is a determined, confident wine with a rich, succulent style and ripe aromas of blackberry, spice, sweet vanilla and polished black stone. The chewy mouthfeel also shows a precise stylistic choice and the colonel is richly opulent and enduring on the finish"
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2007 Barolo Pajana is a showstopper. Waves of intense, beautifully delineated fruit flow onto the palate as the wine opens up in the glass. Sumptuous and elegant through and through, the Pajana shows marvelous delineation and clean, minerally notes that underpin the opulence of the fruit. This..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The dark-colored, structured, elegant 1998 Barolo Costa Grimaldi offers purity and harmony allied with power, density, and extract. While relatively seamless for such a young Einaudi Barolo, there is plenty of tannin underneath the glycerin and fruit. I suspect it is only a matter of time before..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Intense aromas of blackberries, cherries and vanilla aromas with hints of fresh mushrooms. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a beautifully balanced palate of ripe fruit and cedar. Best after 2007. "
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2006 Barolo Cicala is another serious, austere Barolo that is tightly wound at this stage. Here the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromatics tend towards menthol, pine, spices and all things balsamic. Sweet, powerful and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2004 Barolo Bricco Boschis Riserva San Giuseppe is darker and firmer than the Vignolo, but not necessarily more complex or pedigreed. A dramatic baritone voice prevails, as layers of ripe dark fruit blossom on the palate in a powerful expression of Barolo that is likely to require extended..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2008 Barolo Arborina is gorgeous for the way it combines layers of fleshy dark fruit in the medium-bodied style of the year. Dark red cherries, flowers, spices and minerals are some of the notes that emerge from this beautiful, polished Barolo. The 2008 is all class and elegance. Layers of..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Smoke, tar, freshly cut flowers, new leather and licorice are some of the aromas and flavors that emerge from the 2007 Barolo Bric del Fiasc.

If we sign Lofton and draft Blackmon in the 1st and Lamar Miller, Doug Martin or David Wilson in the 2nd, and a LB in the 3rd.......mine would move too. I think the Bucs like what they have at receiver now though.
^ Could still get our RB in the early 2nd.
Actually the problem isnt that Freeman stinks. He is average. He puts up good numbers just often enough to make you think he is better than he is. Bad and great are convincing. But mediocre makes you live with the delusion for too many years. He is just good enough to waste our time and not good enough to get us where we want to go.
That would go against what Schiano says his philosophy is, run first.
I just did ..... And it moved. Seinfeld fans know what I'm talking about. Yep, it moved.
None as good or close to Trent richardson. Which is why he will be our pick at 5.
At end of day, I just want Bucs to stick to their board with that first pick. Take the highest rated player regardless of need. That's the best approach. Worry about crowded positions later.
Exactly. BPA. That's what this team was built upon years ago. If I where the Bucs then my top 5 board would look like this-Kalil-Claiborne-Blackmon-Coples-RichardsonIMO

Dear Lauri: I dreamed I was looking in the mirror and saw something sticking out of the middle of my forehead. It looked like a small blade of grass. I proceeded to pick at it and when I did, a small piece of my forehead came out, as if it were a piece of turf, leaving an uneven hole. I was frantic! I tried to pull out another piece to even it up, and another piece fell out. It seemed the more I tried to stop it or hold it in place, the more material came loose. – Dani 62, Cleveland, OH
Lauri: Your head represents your intellect and your forehead is the place of your intuition and foresight, so this dream is all about what is going on in your head and what you know - deep down - needs to be done. And since there is a hole there, you must be going against your intuition. You have two references to grass in this dream, which means there is probably some issue you have the foresight to "cut short" and remove from your life. The uneven hole is connected to something you feel is uneven in your life. A relationship perhaps? It is beginning to take a lot out of you as indicated by the pieces of forehead falling out. Notice how you are trying to hold it in place. Your dream is showing you that the more you try to make this situation work, the worse it is going to get.
Dani replies: WOW! Now I know what this dream was about! I've had a long friendship that seems to be changing. In the last few months, I've been the one calling to keep in touch, setting up things to do and places to meet. The friendship has started to feel very one-sided. I enjoy her company, but I feel if she was interested in continuing our friendship, she would be instigating some of the calls and meetings also. I'm sorry I feel our friendship is ending, but I believe people come and go in our lives for a reason, and when its "time" they move on.

Write a Letter to this Company
You took away the toys from the kids wacky packs and donated the money to somewhere. That is like forcing us to donate when we donate in other ways.If you as a company want to donate to a charity that's all good and fine~but when my children don't get the toy like they are use to because you took it away to donate ~well,that sucks!!! We will take our business elsewhere.When we pay for a kids meal~we expect a toy. Donate company money~but don't take from our children.You are literally taking their toy away and donating in your companies name.If my children are forced to donate~shouldn't it be in their names? You shouldn't take from children because your company wants to donate money.You make alot of money and it is just plain wrong to force our children to donate! Like I said~we are taking our business elsewhere~where there is a kid friendly atmosphere!We weren't given a choice as to donate or not and you had no signs or anything letting us know that when we ordered the wacky pack as usual~that you stole the toy out of it!Shouldn't you have at least let us know before receiving our food and having to ask~where is the toy.NO SIGNS~NO WARNING~NO CHOICE~NO BUSINESS! Give out of your own pocket instead of the kids meals! And we should have been let known that you are no longer giving toys.No signs~nothing.Quit taking from children~take from your big wig company if you want to donate!After all~you are donating in your name~not in the names of all the kids that are getting ripped off.Making yourself look better by taking away,without a choice,from children is SO WRONG! YOU SUCK!!! AND~YOU HAVE LOST LOYAL CUSTOMERS OVER YOUR BAD DECISIONS! MY children want their toys!!!!!!!
Or you could take them to a park and let them run off the grease youjust fed them. And why does any kid deserve a toy every time they getfood..
From what I read on the internet, according to California state law,state lawmakers passed a law stating that toys WILL NOT be included inkids meals. This applies to any fast food restaurant in California. So if the op is upset about this, perhaps she should write the toState of California about her unhappiness.
Seriously? Over a $0.10 toy??? Really??? There are just no words for this.
Okay, so let me get this straight. You're upset because Sonic chose tobe a good citizen rather than give you plastic junk? If the price ofthat is losing you, so be it. It's doubtful they'll even notice theloss in their ledger.
I do not live where the OP lives, but the Sonic near me does indicateon the menu at that particular location that the toy which is includedin the wacky pack meal is only available upon request.
Personally I would rather give my business to a fast food place thatdonates to charity instead of giving out cheap plastic toys that willbe used a short time, break and become a part of our landfills. If your children desperately need these cheap toys, go to the dollaror party store where I'm sure you can get like 10 of them for $.50 andgive them to your kids when you go out.
I know - what a horrible message to send to children - the last thingwe need in this world less small plastic junk being given to ourkids. I know as a parent when someone doesn't give my kid some massproduced toy that they will lose interest in very quickly and willthen later need to be thrown away by me, I get very upset. I get evenmore upset when people attempt to show my kids that there are otherthings in the world besides them and that it is a good to give back alittle. I am sick and tired of people attempting to teach my child tobe less materialistic. Actually - I am pretty happy to hear Sonic isn't giving out happy mealtoys anymore, we rarely do fast food but I like places like chic-fil-aand other places that don't give out toys - the one place by us givesout pencils and notepads, another gives out books - in allseriousness, I honestly want my kids to eat their food and not worryabout the toys.
Connie M., This would ba a great time to educate your children on coming to termsand learning how to deal with certain things in life that one haslittle or no control over. Good luck. BillR.
From what I can see they started this in January. And although Ican't see the signs in front of the location I can see where theyposted this on their FB account - link is below - and where theyposted this on their official web page as well. http://www.portlandsonic.com/twc/news.html Both sites report the same information - they started doing this onthe FIRST day of the year. Which makes me wonder why a "loyal customer" to that location didn'tknow about it until July, over a half year after they started thisoperation....
Sonic is donating to charity & to children's education. I call thatkid friendly.
I turned out ok.. I'm an adult, I pay my bills, I take myanti-psychotics :)
So you are taking your business elsewhere just because your childrendid not get a free toys. Okay... That is your perogative. When I was a kid, I rarely ate kids meals. And I did not have to havethe toy that came with it. It did not matter to me whether or not Ireceived a toy with my meal.
I am curious as to why the OP feels that donating to youth charity &sponsoring education is a bad decision.
Cos in California in at least one city (San Fran) and one county(Silicon Valley) you don't get toys period. The local legislation banned them from issuing toys with kids meals,claiming it helps fight obesity. And I love how you claim they're "taking away from children".... I looked this charity thing up online and they're DONATING TOCHILDREN. http://www.facebook.com/SonicPortland/posts/10150458589881272 Welcome 2012! And with a new year, comes new ideas! Effective January1st, we will no longer be offering toys in our Wacky Pack childrensmeals. Instead, we will be making a donation to local youth charities forevery Wacky Pack meal sold. Donations will be made on a quarterlybasis with a focus on childhood education and youth outreach programs.The selected charities and the amount donated to each will beannounced quarterly. **Like this post if you think this is a superidea, like we do! So while you claim they're stealing from your children, they're REALLYdonating to local youth charities and sponsoring education. Yeah I can see how sinister that sounds.
http://www.sonicdrivein.com/kids/wackyPack.jsp If you would like this months coloring sheet, you have to download itusing adobe acrobat. It looks like the coloring sheet is free. Maybeyou could use the contact us link at the bottom if you have anyquestions.
As a previous poster mentioned, the wacky pack toys are free. Why all the fuss over not receiving a free toy? This decision could have been made by their Corporate office. Sonicchose to donate the money elesewhere. Since you feel that was a baddecision, it might be a good idea for you to write to their corporateoffice & voice you feelings.
When you feed your kids at home do you give them a toy? When you gotoyour favorite restaurant do they give you a toy with your meal? It was free, and it was nice while it lasted. There is nothing in theconstitution that says you are owed a toy when you buy a kids meal. Sure its nice, but ITS FREE be happy you got it when you did. If theywant to stop giving them its their business. Seems to me kids now adays could use a little lesson in giving toothers and not always taking for themselves.
I agree, changing the product significanty without any sort of advancenotice isn't the best way to run a business. I think you have a goodidea that this should be an option.
