Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.

Humanity as and in Creation
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.

In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
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.
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.
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.

Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Series: The Meaning of mîn in the Hebrew Old Testament
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
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".

Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
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.
The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.

Mr. PIERCE, of Vigo, from a majority of the Committee on Elections, reported on the petition presented yesterday by Mr. Coffroth, from 2,000 citizens of the counties of Ohio and Switzlerland, for instructions to their Senator and Representative to oppose the ratification of the fifteenth amendment proposed to the Constitution of the United States or resign. The report recites the article of the general Constitution providing for amendments thereof, and alleges that the proceedings in relation to the proposed fifteenth amendment have been regular; and that the proposition for submission to the people is unknown to the Constitution; and it concludes with the expression of opinion that the said petitioners should not interpose authoritatively in cases where the oath of their Representatives are involved.
On motion of Mr. ZOLLERS, it was laid on the table.
Mr. OSRORN, from the Committee on Education, returned Mr. Cunningham's bill to amend sections 1, 25, and 33 of the Common School law (for changing the pay of certian school officers) recommending its indefinite postponement.
Mr. MITCHELL, from the Committee on Fees and Salaries, returned Mr. Dunn's bill [H. R. 233] for amending the law regulating the fees of certain officers-Surveyors-recommending its indefinite postponement.
These reports for indefinite postponement were severally concurred in.
Mr. BRECKINRIDGE, from the Committee on Rights and Privileges, returned his bill [H. R. 328,] for registrations of births and deaths, recommending its indefinite postponement.
Mr. COFFROTH considered that this bill has good features. It is a matter which frequently becomes of the highest impor page: 101[View Page 101]tance to parties in reference to questions of identity. The country is growing, and property is becoming very valuable, and something of this character is eminently fit and proper.
Mr. MITCHELL. The late war has given rise to many claims against the Government for pensions and bounties, and I have found it very difficult, in numerous cases, to get the necessary proof to establish the claims of minor heirs.
Mr. BRECKINRIDGE. It was the opinion of the committee that the bill imposed onerous duties on the Township Assessors, and it imposes penalties on ministers of the gospel and others who may solemnize marriages, if they fail to report to the Assessor. The committee were unable to see in what sense it could do any good. The institutions of our country differ entirely from those of the old country, There every man is bound to do military duty, and every child is born a member of the church, etc.
The House refused to concur in the recommendation of the report to indefinitely postpone the bill - affirmative, 27; negative, 45.
On motion of Mr. PIERCE, of Porter, the bill was then referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.

Drill Disection
Contents |
GATE 2: Product Dissection
The purpose of this gate is to put our gate 1 planning into actual practice. We will be dissecting the Black and Decker drill in order analyze each subsystem, understand better how and why this power drill is put together the way it is, and understand how any global, societal, economical, or environmental factors have contributed to its design.
Project Management: Preliminary Project Review
Project Management
The following information is a project management report for Group #20 and will address the following topics:
1. Effectiveness of the original plan presented in Gate 1
2. Unresolved Conflicts/Challenges
3. Conflicts/Challenges that have been addressed and the course of action taken to correct the issues
Our original plan outlined in Gate 1 consisted of the following: The group would meet every Saturday around 9:00 am on the second floor of Capen Hall and would continue to make any necessary progress towards the completion of the next project gate, as well as discuss assigned tasks, and discuss issues arising with the project. Thus far, everyone has made it at the specified time, and has completed their portion of the work.
1.Why the plan has worked thus far:
The reason the plan has worked well to this point is due to the fact that regardless of how much work is to be done the group has consistently followed the plan of meeting each week. This has allowed us to stay in contact for large and small issues. The only foreseeable problem is the fact that this is the only method we have employed to effectively communicate with one another. Texting and e-mails seem to be ineffective and time consuming. So, if an emergency regarding the project should arise mid week their is the potential for communication lag and problems regarding the resolving of the issue at hand.
2.Unresolved Conflicts/Challenges:
Unfortunately, as a group we did not score well on project Gate 1. This is most likely due to the fact that what was asked for by the professors seemed unclear. We also had less time to work on it than was optimal for the situation. The errors have been pointed out by the graders and we, as a group, will attempt to rectify these issues and keep them in mind as we proceed with Gate 2.
3.Conflicts/Challenges that have been addressed:
One of the first challenges the group had was addressing how to divide the work. With Gate 1 everyone met and answered the questions quickly, but ineffectively (as can be seen from the received grade). Then, our wiki expert Nate Mountain added and formatted all the information into the wiki page. The problem with this approach is that we only briefly skimmed the surface in answering the questions, and our grade reflects that. Our solution to this problem is that for Gate 2 everyone has a specific set of questions from the gate to answer. For example, one person tackled the project management report. Two others worked together to complete the section of questions that address the difficulty of dis-assembly of the product. The last two members addressed the connection of subsystems. This allowed for each member to discuss with one another their assigned questions, and spend the necessary time to think through each question and give a reasoned answer. Our hopes are that by taking these steps we will have more effective answers for each question of Gate 2.
The only other issue we have experienced so far was during the dissection of our product. We had almost completed the product dissection when we realized that we needed a star nut to take apart the chuck assembly of our drill. Since none of us currently possessed one, and the lab was closed, we waited until the following week which allowed us to obtain the necessary tool to continue the final portion of the dissection. This effectively solved our issue. This speaks to the effectiveness of our established plan. We did not have the necessary tool, but we had left ourselves plenty of time to obtain the tool and finish the dissection without getting ourselves into a time crunch.

Click here for our dissection video.
Dissection Process
Difficulty Scale
Each step of dis-assembly was of a different difficulty than the step preceding or following it. For this we developed a 4 star scale of difficulty for the dis-assembly process of the drill. Its breakdown is as follows:
*-Very Straightforward: This level of difficulty is assigned to the extremely simple aspects of dis-assembly that require very little thought or planning. Ex. pulling something apart after all the screws have been removed
**-Relatively Simple: This level of difficulty is assigned to things that are somewhat more complicated than the "Very Straightforward" aspect of dis-assembly, this stuff that require some effort on the dissectors part. Ex. the use of a screwdriver to remove screws holding two pieces of the drill that are being held together
***-Complicated: This level of difficulty is assigned to the aspects of dis-assembly that require some forethought and a plan of attack and a careful hand by the dissector, it is substantially more complicated than the "Relatively Simple" and is the biggest jump in difficulty on our scale. Ex. having to remove gears from the inner casing and remember their orientation and the way they fit back into the drill
****-Extremely Complicated: This is the highest level of difficulty that can be assigned. This denotes steps in the dissection process that kept us stumped for a long time and required further research to figure out the steps required. When the required steps were figured out a lot of effort was still required to follow those steps. Ex. reassembly of the drill to remove the truck of the drill and continue dis-assembly
This scale proved to be a very accurate representation of the difficulty involved with dis-assembly of this product.
This product is not exactly intended for dis-assembly as there is no reason for dis-assembly because the usual reason for dis-assembly is customization. There are no modifications for this product that would require dis-assembly. This being said it is still fairly easily disassembled through the removal of a large number of just normal Phillips head screws. There was one star screw in the head of the drill. A star bit suggests that it is not meant to be unscrewed by the average user of the drill. In sum, the drill has no reason to be disassembled as there are no options for customization which would be the primary reason for dis-assembly. However, the majority drill can still be disassembled with relative ease by the normal consumer of this product with just a Phillips head screw driver.
Looking at the drill as a whole it was a fairly simple process of dis-assembly. We did hit snags at particular points of the dis-assembly process. For example, at one point we had to reassemble the drill completely to be able to remove the chuck which was necessary for the final dis-assembly steps. This showed us that it is always not a straightforward process to disassemble something, sometimes it is necessary to go backwards to be able to move forward with the dissection process.
Each step leading up to step 10 was very straightforward and required very little thinking. At the point when we reached step 10 was when problems started to arise. We needed access to four screws to continue the dissection process that we could see but could not get access to due to the torque adjusting mechanism. It took our group an extensive amount of time to realize that in order to remove the torque adjusting mechanism it was necessary to remove the truck of the drill. There was no obvious way to remove the truck of the drill aside from a small star screw that you could see when looking down the head of the drill (the part where the bits are put in). Even when this star screw was removed we were still unable to remove the chuck. After some research we realized that a reassembly of the drill was necessary to break the chuck free from its threads. Once the chuck of the drill was removed we could continue with the disassembly of the drill which continued to be straightforward.

GSEE factors involved in how the connections were developed:
Although not all the GSEE factors will play into the design of this drill the the following will address those factors that came into play for the design.
Economic issues: The drill appears to share the same body casing with other Black and Decker drills. This design allows for Black and Decker to use the same body design with other drills. This will allow the company to save money when it comes to manufacturing processes (for example, only needing to buy one mold for several drill bodies/casings). The gears also appear to be easily interchangeable on an assembly line and would use the same process outlined above. Environmental factors: Grease within the gearing housing design keeps rust from forming within the housing.
Subsystems which cannot be adjacent:
Although the internals of the drill tend to flow smoothly from one subsystem to the next in an orderly pattern, there is a subsystem which cannot be adjacent. The subsystem is that of Gear 1 and Gear 2. Although they are close to one another there is a Slip Gear in between them which allows for the change of speed with the drill. The drill would absolutely fail if these two subsystems were not separated.
Is there a reason for each subsystem placement?
Battery: The placement of the battery is on the bottom end of drill. The battery is external and allows for ease of replacement and recharging when necessary.
Trigger: The placement of the trigger is supposed to mimic that of a pistol. The designers decided that this grip would best suit the needs of the user and therefore placed the trigger in the traditional position to mimic the grip of a pistol.
Beyond these two the placement of the subsystems are implemented in a way that allow the battery to work. For example, the motor has to come before the chuck, or else the equipment will simply not work.

I need to make a whole family of minkies, my 1 yr old is suddenly dragging this disgusting minky+satin blanket everywhere (my oldest was not a blankie baby so this is new) and my older daughter feels the need to have a blankie now to match. So if I would like to have blankies for the new baby, by my calculations I will need to make about 57 just to guaruntee that baby3 will have one available at all times, between thefting and the wash. ;)

So- what size is the finished blankie?
- 25.1.12
- k a t y said...
Carinne--the larger blankets that use a whole yard of fabric are about 31" X 35" depending on how much you need to trim to even out the grain. The mini snuggle blankies are about 18.5" X 15.5".

So cute! I can't wait to make one.
I have one question. I'm just beginning to learn how to sew, and I don't understand why you need to sew the 2 bias tapes together. Please explain.
Thanks! :) - 11.2.12

Thanks so much for sharing. You have such a beautiful baby! I can't wait till my little girl finally gets here. I think I might have to make one of these baby minky blankets. They look so comfortable and soft.

At this time and days before, Jacob Reed Brooks was industriously placing his unforgettable mark as he seized the day in other parts of this state. His life encompassed all aspects of adventure, beginning with his valiant fight in the War of 1812.
Jacob Brooks developed 12 years later a ferry across the Chattahoochee River that opened a route from the Carolinas to Alabama for those who sought a life west. As this settlement was taking place, the conflict between the settlers and the natives began to escalate over the claim of property, and Brooks' life once more proved magnificent as he was appointed Indian agent of Cobb County as protector of the lives and property of the American Indians. Later, he served as a state representative for Dekalb County and as the first state senator for Cobb County.
Perhaps the greatest success of Jacob R. Brooks was in circa 1837, when he with his family moved to the impressive and majestic land of Walker County.
As if living by the familiar creed of "seek and ye shall find," it is evident in Jacob's life of wonders that he sought after and finally found his treasure when he gazed upon Pigeon Mountain for the first time. Jacob and his family finally settled near Kensington, Ga., and lived out his days in one of the most beautiful places on earth before passing to the great beyond in the early spring of 1872.
The previous treasures of this man's incredible existence are well worth researching, however, it is this latter event which brings Jacob Brooks to our attention this day.
Jacob Reed Brooks was laid to rest in the quiet fields off of what we now know as Hwy. 193 in the Kensington and Cassandra area. In the wonderful 1987 publication Walker County Georgia Cemeteries published by the Walker County Historical Society, it states that Mr. Brooks earthly eternal resting place was on A.J. Stoker's property.
However, it seems the land may have now passed to another generation, and this researcher, so far away, has been unable to locate the new grantee. I am researching this on behalf of the great-great-granddaughter of Jacob Brooks, who simply desires a photograph of the gravestone of such an interesting figure in Georgia history.
It is my hope that the great people of Walker County can provide this and show her why her ancestor loved his mountain home so dearly. If anyone can provide a photograph of the gravestone or the contact information of the property owner, this information would be priceless.
Please contact me at the Thomaston Upson Archives at 706-646-2437 or email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
When that guaranteed time of our departure arrives, it seems we all desire to be remembered. Therefore, allow us not to forget Jacob Brooks by finding his hallowed place, lest he should be forever lost, and we too follow in his footsteps.
Walker County native Claude Burgess works at the Thomaston-Upson Archives in Upson County, Ga. Part of his job is to answer historic questions that sometimes lead to amazing stories.

Welcome to Bally's own Little Italy! Enjoy a traditional Italian meal prepared with a contemporary, New York flare in the sophisticated setting of Arturo's, our award-winning trattoria located on the Sixth Floor.
The signature dish at Arturo's Italian Ristorante is our exquisite Zuppa de Pesce e Spaghetti, a lovely mixture of lobster, shrimp, scallops, market catch, calamari, clams and mussels in an aromatic, shellfish-infused Italian tomato broth. Besides mouth-watering entrées and al dente pasta dishes, Arturo's also features a wine list of over 100 choices.
The décor at this Atlantic City fine dining destination is as beautiful as the dishes. Our dining area is decorated with vibrant Italian mosaics and offers tranquil views of the Boardwalk and the Atlantic Ocean.
"Bally's contribution to the casino Italian market hits about as hard as its namesake, boxer and (at the time for then-named Park Place Entertainment) corporate money machine Arturo "Thunder" Gatti. Italian mosaic paintings and an ocean view complete the vibe at this traditional trattoria-style setting that you definitely need a casino host for on Friday and Saturday. The Veal Saltimbocca is not to be missed here."
"Italian Dining at its best."

If you're a young hunter, or if you know a young hunter, maybe you can share this with them. These are basic thoughts on deer hunting law, methods, safety, and ethics. Hopefully, you have completed the O.D.N.R. Hunter safety course and are hunting with an experienced hunter. If you have bypassed either, these thoughts should prove to be beneficial.
Yes, the second amendment says that you, as a citizen, can possess a gun, but that's just where it starts. In the past, young people in this country grew up with guns, hunting, farms, and dad supervised your learning. In today's world, dad is more likely to have bought you a hunting video game, than to have helped you learn to hunt safely. I would encourage you to pursue hunting in a safe, legal, and supervised manner. The state laws mandate that you obtain the O.D.N.R hunter safety course, a license, deer tag, written landowner permission, and hunt safely. It is your responsibility to know the laws, and they will be covered in the course and the handbook you get with your license.
The hunter safety course is obviously about safety, but so much more, also. It is meant to ingrain certain values into your hunting logic, pertaining to ethics, and respect, too. You will learn respect for the wildlife, other hunters, and landowners. Other hunters want you to enjoy and learn the sport in a safe and courteous way. Landowners want the same things, and they also want you to treat their property with respect. If you have never owned and maintained land, or shot and field dressed a deer, how can you possibly appreciate and understand their feelings? This is where experienced supervision can be a big help to you. The more you hunt, the more you appreciate the wildlife, other hunters, the law, and landowners. It is very difficult for a young person see the big picture, the first day on the job. Hunters who are unsafe, leave their trash, make ruts on the land, or seem ungrateful, probably won't stay with the same hunting buddies or landowners very long. This sport is about choices some are wise, and some are deadly.
We all start out thinking about a big buck. Some will be successful at that, but most won't. The realities of the sport are about opportunity, possibilities, percentages, practices, and luck. Some odds to consider might be that 1 in 4 hunters get a deer, and most bucks don't reach 4 years old. This should enlighten you as to your odds on getting a deer, buck, or big buck, as you first start hunting. These odds improve for you as you live and learn. This is where I would say to you that patience is a virtue. It's not just about the destination-enjoy the journey. I realize that's not what's on your mind, when you're sitting there freezing or getting soaked, and you hear shooting 2 hills over, but that's deer hunting. Maybe it's just luck, or maybe it's about the choices we spoke of earlier. Maybe you should have dressed warmer or used rain gear. Maybe the same deer that got shot 2 hills over, saw, heard, or smelled you. You will learn about these choices, and your odds will improve. Those who haven't experienced these lessons haven't hunted much. Through patience, work, learning, and good habits, you will achieve your goals.
In the mean time, while you're hunting, take time to enjoy. Relax a little, and take in the natural wonders around you. Observe the trees in different seasons, sunlight, or drainage. Study the birds and other animals, while you're there. It will make the time pass more quickly. You can see all this, and see deer, too. You're young and time is on your side. When you're in the deer woods, you're on their turf. The more you're in tune with that environment, the more you're learning their habits and needs, and that's all progress. This is part of pattern and predicting deer movement. Enjoy and relax.

Due to a strike in Vadso airport.
I must go to Kirkenes on the 17th May arrival at 22.43 PM.
What will be the cost of a taxi to Vadso ?
Or is there an other solution possible for the same evening ?
Thanks, Kris
Is there a bus or train that would take you from Kirkenes (after departing the ship) to Helsinki?
Hi everybody! I'm trying to find out what my options for transportation methods between Alesund to Geiranger and back.
I know there's several bus options and cruise options but I'm confused because I'm not sure if they will be operating when we plan on coming, which most likely look like it will be May 13th until May 16th (we will be flying in and out of Aalesund Vigra airport)
Is there anything transportation wise that would work with this schedule? I was hoping to spend the first two nights (the 13th& 14th) out in Hellesylt or Geiranger and the last (the 15th) and in Alesund.
Any information would be of much help, thanks! I can't find anything. I know fjord1.no supposedly has information but I can't figure out the website. I've also checked out Lonely Planet's guides but it doesn't really provide any useful information.
How to take bus from Honningsvag to Alta?
Hi! I shall be traveling to Norway in July and I am interested in the famous Pulpit Rock trek. My question is, how steep is it to get up to the top? Are there many dangerous turns and climbs?
Can one take a short trip from Alesund to see the sights? My wife and I are on a cruise docking in Alesund on 09/09/2013 from 07:00--17:00. Is it possible to fit anything in during this limited time?
As i will be visiting Norway between June to September,please suggest what type of jackets or warm clothes should i carry to beat the weather??
I would like to take the ferry between Tronfheim and Alesund this summer 2013 but I'm hesitating to take rather a bus because it takes less time.
But at the same time I think it can be interestig to do a trip in ferry along the fjords.
So here is my question:
Is the trip in ferry between Trondheim and Alesund beautiful? Is it worth to take so much time in ferry or is it better to go in Alesund with a bus?.
Thank you for your answers.
Can someone please tell me if I need a reservation for the train from Stavanger to Kristiansand next July? I will be traveling with a railpass. Thank you!
We are planning to visit Flam and around this Aug., but I could'nt find any car rental information for Flam, Have I to rent cars from Voss and drive to Flam? Is there any possibility to pick and drop two cars at Flam?
I am traveling to Stavanger in June and want to go on to Olden. How can I do this?
we (mother and son, 51 and 15) plan a kayak tour in naeröfjorden, auerlandfjorden, sognefjorden and lustrafjorden from gudvangen or flam to Solvorn and back on May 20 to 30 this year. We have a wooden Kayak and a Klepper folding Kayak. We ask for your advice:
-do we need helmets in the fjord because of falling rocks?
-is there a tide?
-is wind a problem for kayaking esp. in the sognefjord ? and, mainly,
-is it possible to go ashore & find place for a small tent at
1.salthella in the naerofjord
2.stokkahamaren or stokko in the aurlandsfjord (near
Beitelen )
3.Simleness in the aurlandsfjord
4.Fronningen in the sognefjord or tingastad (north shore
5. Fodness in the sognefjord, at the ligthhouse, or
Aspvikane or °Aretun
6. Kinsedalen
7. Urnes
We have 1:50 000 maps of the region and dry suits and of course life suits etc.
We are thankfully looking forward to your advice,
Susanne Gandenberger and Tobias Bachem

I doubt this lawsuit will go anywhere, but there's some serious overreaction here (Articles are here and here)I might be missing several details here, because this thing seems like a sprawling mess that's only partially explained in the articles, but here goes:Francesca Lia Block is a rather well-known YA author whose works frequently touch on things like HIV, homosexuality, premarital sex and pregnancy, and all sorts of other scandalous things that children should OMG never be exposed to.There is a group called the Christian Civil Liberties Union that has decided that her books are something that no one should be exposed to. Earlier in the year, concerned citizens in the town of West Bend, WI petitioned their local library to separate out all teen books with "explicit" material and keep them away from... teenagers. When the library's trustees flat out denied the petition (and four of them may have lost their appointments for failure to comply with it), the CCLU came and filed suit.Four elderly gentlemen were exposed to Block's book Baby Be-Bop, which is the story of a gay teen who gets beaten up by a homophobic gang. This exposure was so damaging that they are requesting $120,000 in damages ($30,000/person). This book, which contains several racial and gay slurs, hurt them so much that they want to have it declared obscene and they call it a hate crime.They are also asking for the mayor's resignation, because she allowed the public to be exposed to the book (and I'm sure the fact that she supported bringing the fired trustees back has nothing to do with it it all).And they want the library to publicly burn the book.Cheap publicity stunt, yes, but they're calling for a library to burn books.

Tokyo Jungle remote play update coming today
Tokyo Jungle is – pardon my French – 'utterly hat-stands'. But it's also rather brilliant in a mad kind of way. Sony has revealed that a remote play patch is coming tonight that allows PS3 owners to play the game on their PS Vita.
Tue, Oct 09, 2012 | 18:32 BST
Tokyo Jungle – Crocodile, Giraffe, Kangaroo, and Panda added via PS Store

Tokyo Jungle impressions: animal attraction
Tokyo Jungle launches in Europe 26th September, but VG247′s Dave Cook has been playing it for a few weeks. It's absolutely insane, and it could be the PS3′s biggest cult hit since Demon's Souls. Read on to find out why.

Tokyo Jungle: Another new trailer baffles the mind

Tokyo Jungle gamescom screenshots show animals in trouble
As if you haven't' seen enough Tokyo Jungle screenshots over the last year or so, Sony has decided you need a few more – four to be exact – so, we've obliged the firm and posted the lot for you below. The post-apocalyptic animal survival sim was released on June 7 in Japan, and while a release date hasn't been provided for Europe or the US just yet – it's coming.
Wed, Jul 04, 2012 | 06:40 BST
Tokyo Jungle hits 200,000 shipped
Post-apocalyptic animal survival sim Tokyo Jungle has reached 200,000 units shipped since its June 7 Japanese release. Andriasang reports Sony Japan seems pretty pleased by this figure, which includes both stock sent to retailers and actual sales directly from the PlayStation Network, and is now aiming for the lofty goal of 210,000. It doesn't sound like bucketloads but the game topped the charts and sold through most of its stock. Sony, if you would like to sell some more of that maybe give us a release date because some of us have lifelong rhinos-in-baseball-cap goals to fulfil.
Sat, Jun 16, 2012 | 18:38 BST
Tokyo Jungle sells through 87.47% of its stock at retail in Japan
Media Create has reported that the post-apocalyptic animals-run-amok title, Tokyo Jungle, has sold through 87.47% of its stock at retail in Japan. The game debuted last week in the number one slot, moving 110,309 units on PS3. SCEA's confirmed Tokyo Jungle for a US release, in addition to Europe, but a release date has yet to be announced. Thanks, Siliconera.

E3 screens: Tokyo Jungle reappears on western radars with new shots

Tokyo Jungle screens get lovey dovey
That headline would have been a perfect ace if one of the animals featured in this batch of Tokyo Jungle screenshots was an actual dove.

Watch 17 minutes of Tokyo Jungle gameplay
Got 17 minutes to spare? Want to see pixelated animals fighting over resources or trying to keep from being said resource? Then head below the break to watch a video showing the opening stage to Tokyo Jungle as a cute Pomeranian. Game's out in stores on June 7 in Japan as well as through the PS Store. Thanks, 4gamer.
Thu, May 31, 2012 | 21:58 BST
Tokyo Jungle now available for pre-order through PS Store in Japan
Sony has started taking digital pre-orders for Tokyo Jungle in advance of the game's June 7 release the PS Store in Japan. Those who wish to pick the game up through the service will have to pay in-full in advance, but it will be less expensive that way as well: the digital version is ¥3,900 ($50) and comes with a dynamic theme and 10 avatars, where as the disc will run customers ¥4,980 ($63). The pre-order offer is a first for Sony, reports Wired, and is another example of Sony's push to make its products as "accessible as possible," to the consumer by offering both digital and boxed releases at launch.
Thu, May 31, 2012 | 11:59 BST
Tokyo Jungle TV ad barks over Tokyo rooftops
Watch downtown Tokyo get swarmed with all kinds of animals and a small dog on a rooftop below the break. I have nothing else to add to the crazy video.
It's out next week in Japan for PS3.
Thu, May 24, 2012 | 20:23 BST
Elephants in Tokyo Jungle can wear roller skates
Andriasang has posted new information on Tokyo Jungle, which focuses on the various equipment your animal character can don. One interesting bit of gear, is roller skates for elephants, which help the animal to move faster. There's also a sumo wrestler belt for the Japanese Tosa dog which helps it run faster for some odd reason. No word on whether hippos can wear tutus or not. The post also delves a bit into mini games, such as hunting giant rabbits.

Pauline Phillips, better known to millions of newspaper readers as the original Dear Abby advice columnist, has died after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease, her family said Thursday.
She died Wednesday in Minneapolis, Minnesota, at age 94.
Phillips' columns were published in an era when newspaper readers began to prize straight-talking, pithy advice about marriages, children, jobs -- just about anything that troubled people.
Phillips wrote under the pen name of Abigail Van Buren, shortened to "Dear Abby" in newspapers. "Abigail" was taken from the wise woman in the Old Testament and "Van Buren" was one of her favorite presidents.
The first Dear Abby column appeared in 1956, and Phillips solely wrote the advice feature until 2000, when she and daughter Jeanne began sharing the byline.
Jeanne Phillips took the column over full time in August 2002, when the family announced that Pauline Phillips had Alzheimer's.
"I have lost my mother, my mentor and my best friend," Jeanne Phillips said in a statement. "My mother leaves very big high heels to fill with a legacy of compassion, commitment and positive social change. I will honor her memory every day by continuing this legacy."
Pauline Phillips strove to say more with less. Her direct style was captured in her favorite Swedish toast, according to the column's syndication service:
"Fear less; hope more. Eat less; chew more. Talk less; say more. Hate less; love more."
Before the digital era of journalism introduced such notions as "crowd sourcing" of the public and computerized metrics on readership, Phillips assembled her Q&A columns from queries mailed in from readers. She was able to quantify her following by the number of newspapers who bought her columns -- and by how many readers spent money on a stamp to mail her a letter.

text: 2006 - Overseas exhibition in Tokyo - JapanOn July 19 last, Vacheron Constantin Japan celebrated the 10th anniversary of the Overseas design with a cocktail party at the Aquaroom Lounge in downtown Tokyo. It featured a display of Overseas models from 1996 to 2006 along with the newest additions to the model line, designed to mark its 10th anniversary. Some 130 VIP guests, clients and media representatives were on hand to admire the Overseas presentation, set among giant aquariums suggestive of seas and oceans, travel and distant horizons. Along with the watch display proper, guests were treated to a screening of a film starring the Overseas line. They also had an opportunity of meeting John Kabira, who shared with them his appreciation for watches by Vacheron Constantin and regaled them with stories and anecdotes of his professional adventures. John Kabira is a very popular radio and television personality in Japan. Along with radio talk shows, he appears on a number of Fuji Television football programs. He's also featured on two shows on NHK, Japan's premier TV network, called "Another Hero" and "A Night to Speak English". Photo caption : John Kabira |

Published September 1, 2002.
Supermarket and soup-mix dips have given the crudité platter a bad reputation. We were determined to devise a homemade dip recipe to rectify this situation. Our best dip recipes began with either a mayonnaise-sour cream or a mayonnaise-yogurt base for body, richness, and velvety texture. Then we added flavor-charged ingredients—the fewer the better—for maximum flavor with minimum fuss.
Dear Friend,
These days, it's pretty easy to get free recipes on the Internet. I'm sure a search for "roast chicken recipe" will turn up thousands and thousands. But, as with so much on the web, you should tread lightly if you don't know the source.
In America's Test Kitchen, our motto is, "Recipes that Work," and our mission is to be your trusted source for recipes that work every time you use them. Our test cooks spend their days obsessively testing recipes until they offer consistently great results. As we like to say here, "We make the mistakes so you don't have to."
CooksIllustrated.com is the only place you can find not only 20 years' worth of our foolproof recipes, but also objective ratings of cookware, and blind taste tests for hundreds of everyday supermarket ingredients (hey, without the proper ingredients and equipment you can still run into problems — no matter how good the recipe).
Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I'm pretty confident that CooksIllustrated.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from quick, weeknight suppers to huge, holiday feasts for family and friends.
Thanks for your consideration,
Christopher Kimball

Thanks for the heads-up! I won't be able to capture it, as I have no idea how that sort of thing works, but I'll certainly be watching (or at least attempting to do so). Between this and the three shows I'm attending in the next six days, I hope to hear some material from Transcendental Youth.Quote
I mentioned this in the On The Road section, but then realized only people going to tonights show might be looking at the thread. Anyways, tonight's show in New Orleans is being webcast through the Tipitina's website. Having watched a show or two on the site in the past, It's a pretty low quality webcast, and sometimes it crashes or barely works, but the audio is usually decent if nothing else. I'm going to be at the show tonight, but would love it if someone managed to capture a copy of the webcast as well. And if not, that's okay too. Just enjoy the show from the comfort of your own homes!
Bad news. On a lark, I checked Tipitina's Facebook page. It says "FYI - At the artists' request, tonight's performance will NOT be webcast".
If you want to share the rest of the show now, I don't think there would be any problem with that.Quote
The way John worded it on the home page made it sound like it's up to the user to avoid recordings if they don't want to hear the songs, but i also know in the past he hasn't exactly been thrilled with new material getting out early. So like you guys said, i was already thinking of just holding on to the recording and waiting until the album comes out. I know i don't want to be the one stepping on John's toes. It's just hard when you've got something burning a hole in your pocket that you want to share with everybody lol. Hope they get to recording soon, the world needs some new Mountain Goats music
Can't wait to hear this! The setlist looks great, new songs or no!

Melanie, I posted this message on the comment section. Any thoughts? Why won't anyone else comment on the Two schools one book fiasco? The arrest of the books main character for severely beating his wife is definitely worthy of an article considering the patch covered the event itself. I think it is very sad that our kids are getting an agenda driven education in Newton, but it is far more sad when the leaders of our public schools will not admit when they have failed. Our kids spent a considerable amount of time being told what a great guy Zeitoun was, so much so they skipped a day of school to talk about him. What is the lesson our kids are suppose to learn here? If you pretend like something never happened and don't comment on it, all will be well. The real lesson of Zeitoun is turning into a very embarrassing one with the assistance of the two Newton High Schools and their look the other way attitude. Please don't join them in ignoring this issue

3. | milk | ||
Milk is Hope. Hope for midgets, like myself to grow taller.
milk = calcium
calcium = stronger bones stronger bones = become taller become taller = an end to dwarfism! =D |
4. | milk | ||
Noun :
common form - bovine glandular secretions, a food product General - lactose and protein rich fluid that any female mammal produces in it's mammary gland to feed it's young. Verb: common form - often used in slang to suggest a sexual act done on males, see hand job ; to draw milk from the mammary glands of an animal in order to collect it General - to extract A: "mmmm, I loves me some milk in my kix!"
B: In order to get a good scoop, the reported milked the mayor for information about the upcomming ellection. |
5. | Milk | ||
To Ron Burgundy, an inappropriate substance to be drinking in hot weather. It also has a high level of calcium. Ron: Milk was a bad choice!
6. | milk | ||
(verb:) single-mindedly to masturbate a male to the point where he ejaculates his "milk" sperm. Use of this term suggests the extraction is more for the amusement and/or satisfaction of the "milker" than that of the person selected to be "milked". (Verb also found in combinations such as: "milk the snake", "milk the milkman") Tracy used to boast to her friends that any man she could not milk within two hours of meeting, was not worth knowing.
Similar to MILF, MILK stands for Mother I'd Like to Kill. Guy 1: "How was your date with Angie? Did you get to meet her parents?"
Guy 2: "Oh Angie's great but her mom is such a MILK! Wouldn't shut up about how I was ten minutes late and how 'irresponsible' I am." |
