Samba Gaye
CD (Item 593726) Dakar Sound (Netherlands), 1997 — Condition: New Copy
An overlooked recording from this famous pair – originally done for businessman Samba Gaye, and quite different than some of the other Afro-styled music of the time! The groove is often a bit more laidback – not as aimed at the dancefloor, although still relatively upbeat and positive overall – thanks to Sekou's sparkling work on guitar, and the lovely vocals of Djanka, which are recorded in a way that layers them nicely alongside the instrumentation. Titles include "N'Gnife", "Imadou N'Na", "Samba Gaye", "Diougouya", and "Tounka". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

text: I am starting to become very worried about my teenage daughter. She and I have always been extremely close. She is 15 and has been dating her 16 year old boyfriend for 12 months. He has very engaging ways and is reliable, trustworthy and totally devoted to her. The problem is that he is extremely possessive and doesnt seem to be able to control it. He has manipulated her mind, I think. they go to the same school, spend all day together and most of outside school as well. She has lost her group of girl friends, and has no other friends besides him. He used a great deal of pressure to get her to give up all of her extra-curricular activities, using vague threats of losing him if she didnt because he hated to share her. He hates it if she is friends with or even laughs with other people, although he is getting better at coping with that. He doesnt like her going to salons, wearing make up or even getting dressed up. He would flip if she went out without him. He uses psychological pressure on her e.g. he withdraws and becomes distant if she does anything that he doesnt like e.g. sit with someone else. She gets very distressed at this and so tends to act the way that she knows he wants. He is not talking to me at the moment because I invited a young girl to stay at our house for a few nights. He told me he was mad because I didnt ask him and also because he cannot bear to have someone else living at her home, even if only for a few days. He and I were very close but I now I am very worried about him. My daughter idolises him and it would break her heart if I attempted to split them up. Unfortunately all this is affecting my relationship with her because I am very disappointed in her that she is still treating him the same even though he is being very rude to me. Am I being unreasonable expecting her to tell him to stop behaving rudely toward me?? I dont really know what to do, whether to start restricting her from seeing him, whether to act happy and hope that it will all be ok, or whether to tell her honestly how disappointed I am in her. I even worry that I am upset because I am not used to having to share her and now it is like she is just not "there" anymore. I have told her that I am not going to be as nice to him as I was because that would be as though I am legitimising his behaviour. I am divorced and in a way I think he also has sort of become a father figure to her. I would like some advice because I can see her at 15 not being able to explore her personality and not developing into the person that she could be. She seriously believes that she is going to marry him. I am pretty sure he feels the same way.

Tessy supports the debugger from Eclipse/CDT
The latest version (V2.9.48) of Tessy, the tool for automated unit / module / integration testing of embedded software, supports now the debugger from the Eclipse project CDT (C/C++ Development Tooling).
This enables the user to debug test objects under Windows which are compiled using the GNU compiler GCC included in the MinGW (Minimalist GNU for Windows) package. If for instance a test case that did not behave as expected needs to be investigated the user can operate from the familiar Eclipse user interface. Technically, the support is realized by a plug-in provided by the manufacturer of Tessy and which is simply copied into the plug-in directory of an existing Eclipse installation. In addition a readily prepared Eclipse SDK (Software Development Kit) for Tessy is available. It includes CDT and is also provided by the manufacturer of Tessy.
Tessy can be obtained from Hitex Development Tools.

The Dreamliner returns: 5 things to know
Thom Patterson – May 20, 2013
Travelers have such high regard for the safety of the U.S. aviation system they don't pay much attention to the kind of plane they're flying, says Brett Snyder, travel adviser and self-described "president and chief airline dork" of CrankyFlier.com. Most aren't worried about flying the 787, but if Dreamliner develops another problem "then that might change things."
On the other hand, Snyder believes the "average everyday traveler isn't looking at the specific aircraft type. They're looking at the flight times and they're looking at the prices."
"I'm sure there are some people that are feeling like they don't want to get on it," says Snyder. "They'll probably feel that way in the short term until the Dreamliner develops a "track record of being reliable and safe."
"It looks pretty awesome, although I'd just rather not have turbulence — then you don't need the gust suppression," jokes Snyder. "But I think it will be interesting to see how that feels, and how the plane handles it."
Financial incentive plan could boost flights at ONT
Brian Sumers – May 4, 2013
"A lot of airports do it, and it's a good thing to offer to get new service," said Brett Snyder, a Long Beach-based aviation analyst who runs the crankyflier.com blog. "But something like this is not generally a make-or-break proposition."
US Airways ups change fee to $200
Ben Mutzabaugh – April 24, 2013
Brett Snyder, author of The Cranky Flier blog and a proprietor of the Cranky Concierge travel service, says the move by US Airways increased the likelihood that Delta and American may follow, though it wasn't inevitable.
Since the change fees won't affect the way customers see fares, Snyder said, United and US Airways may have more patience to test the water with the increase than airlines typically do when they attempt fare hikes.
When airlines outgrow their computers

An appearance on Marketplace discussing American's computer outage
United Airlines says 2012 Airline Quality Rating doesn't tell the whole story
Janet Cho – April 8, 2013
Brett Snyder, author of the CrankyFlier.com blog in Long Beach, Calif., said the rankings are misleading because they measure the rate of mishandled bags per 1,000 passengers instead of against the total number of bags, even though fewer people are checking bags.
Although 11,445 complaints were filed in 2012, Snyder said more people are still likely to complain to the airlines themselves.
Southwest Airlines: We're Not Really About Cheap Flights Anymore
Brad Tuttle – March 26, 2013
Among travel insiders, the ad is being viewed as a sign of a possible "identity crisis" within Southwest. The CrankyFlier bashes the commercial, which is probably unsurprising given the name of the blog. "This ad is just pure… bleh," the post states. "It says nothing to me. This could be for Southwest or any other legacy airline."
No song lyrics are audible during the ad, but the CrankyFlier's Brett Snyder identifies the tune playing in the background and notes that the chorus ironically includes the line: "Oh, Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for."
Though the CrankyFlier's Snyder is obviously not a fan of Southwest's new commercial because it makes the airline seem like every other airline out there, he says that Southwest is still different from the competition in a few key ways. "The most obvious difference is that Southwest hasn't gone with the a la carte model of pricing and instead continues to bundle things like bag fees and change fees into the price of the ticket," Snyder said via e-mail. "That's why you often see that Southwest isn't the cheapest anymore." Also, Southwest's customer service model, loaded with "employees that are empowered to solve problems," is generally superior to the ham-fisted bureaucracies in other airlines' customer service departments, according to Snyder.So even as fares have risen, Southwest still sets itself apart with good customer service and the checked-bags value proposition. But for how long? Southwest has already been following the industry's lead by adding new fees for services like priority boarding, and more nickel-and-diming practices seem inevitable. Snyder worries that Southwest will struggle to maintain top-notch service, especially after it swallowed AirTran—which was also known as a "low-fare" carrier, but one with a very different customer service environment.
Critics: United frequent-flier lawsuit is 'absurd'
Ben Mutzabaugh – March 26, 2013
"This is completely absurd," Brett Snyder – author of The Cranky Flier blog – tells the Plain Dealer.
Snyder notes airlines that award miles tend to use the so-called "great-circle" distance calculations, which accounts for the curvature of the earth in calculating the shortest-possible distances between two destinations.
"It is downright silly to think that the airlines are going to compute the exact distance flown on every single operated flight and award it that way," Snyder adds. "United and other airlines offer mileage calculators where you can compute what you'll earn before you even buy your ticket," he adds to the Plain Dealer.Snyder says he was so "worked up" after learning about the lawsuit that he also decided to do his own blog post on the suit.
"I for one hope that this suit disappears quickly, because it's pretty much everything that's wrong with the court system," Snyder writes via his Cranky Flier blog. "It's a waste of taxpayer resources that will only provide a significant benefit for the lawyers involved."
United Airlines MileagePlus member files class-action lawsuit over frequent flyer miles
Janet Cho – March 23, 2013
Brett Snyder, president of Cranky Flier LLC in Long Beach, Calif., and author of the CrankyFlier.com blog, put it even more bluntly.
"This is completely absurd," he said via email.
"It is downright silly to think that the airlines are going to compute the exact distance flown on every single operated flight and award it that way. United and other airlines offer mileage calculators where you can compute what you'll earn before you even buy your ticket."
He said airlines calculate their miles based on "great circle distance," the actual number of miles between two points, instead of miles via a straight line.
"Because of the curvature of the Earth, the great circle route is the shortest distance between two points," he said.
According to Gcmap.com, for example, the distance between Dulles and Beijing is 6,921 miles, one mile more than United's 6,920 miles.
"This is pretty much everything that's wrong with the court system. Even if it goes nowhere, it's already wasting taxpayer dollars and time that could be used for legitimate cases," he said.
"This is a guy just trying to game the system while wasting everyone's time. I hope this gets thrown out."
Delta to add destinations, increase flights at LAX
Brian Sumers – March 5, 2013
Aviation analyst Brett Snyder, who operates the website crankyflier.com, called the new flights interesting, but noted that large airlines tweak their schedules often, starting and stopping new routes as market forces change.
"What it seems like is they are seeing a lot of different random opportunities and they are trying to roll it up into one big L.A. story," he said. "It seems like they are looking at L.A. and saying, `Do we have any markets where we can make some money?"'
American Airlines, US Airways merger means change in Los Angeles market strategy
Brian Sumers – February 14, 2013
With US Airways executives now running the combined airline, it might make sense for the new American to pare down its Los Angeles flights while building them up at other airports in the region. But Brett Snyder, founder of the aviation website Crankyflier.com, said US Airways executives know the world's largest airline must have a strong presence at the nation's third-largest airport, where it will compete with United and Delta.
"The US Airways management team has always had a pretty clear strategy that, if you can't be No. 1 or have a serious presence, then why be there?" Snyder said. "If you go with the current US Airways strategy, they would just walk away from LAX except with flights to their hubs, because it's a bloodbath with all the airlines fighting. But now you're one of the big three. You need to be relevant."
Merger expected to improve choice for American customers on both coasts
Yamil Berard – February 13, 2013
In recent years, Brett Snyder has lamented the absence of American Airlines in Long Beach, Calif.
At one time, the Southern California native could fly from Long Beach to DFW Airport and head almost anywhere in the world. Later, he could come home to his local airport — a hop, skip and a jump from his beach town home. But then American ended its flights into Long Beach, leaving Snyder with fewer options.
That's why Snyder, like hundreds of other passengers around the country, may have reason to cheer for a merger of American Airlines and US Airways.
"People are going to get to go to more places," said Snyder, who runs the CrankyFlier.com blog. "There should be more destinations within the American network for sure."
But Snyder believes that higher-than-average fares would be limited to few cities."There are very few markets where they (American and US Airways) today have overlapping services," he said. "They operate pretty independently from each other."
The other guessing game, Snyder said, is what culture will emerge at the new American.
"There's a general perception that US Airways is a much more frugal type of airline and that people don't get the same frills," as with American or others, Snyder said."Some people are afraid that this will rub off on American, but I don't think it's realistic to think that will be true," he said.
ONT passenger traffic decline continues in December
Liset Marquez – January 29, 2013
Brett Snyder, a former airline manager and author of The Cranky Flier, said December's drop can be attributed to a trend among ONT airlines.
"It was mostly a combination of airlines shedding away one flight a day in a variety of (destinations). The issue is losing one frequency and optimizing their flights," he said.
Snyder compared a week's flight schedule for carriers in December 2011 to the same time frame in 2012 and found that some of the decline was offset by airlines who added seats on other flights.
Southwest charges extra to board first
Katia Heller – January 22, 2013
"This is yet another of several recent attempts by Southwest to add peripheral fees so that it can raise revenues without tarnishing its image," wrote Brett Snyder, president of The Cranky Flier, in an e-mail. "Southwest's elite travelers won't like that people can buy their way to the front of the line, but it will be welcomed by those at the back. This is the first effort Southwest has made to allow people to better their position once they know their boarding number."
2013: Wishes for smooth journeys
Katia Heller – January 3, 2013
Brett Snyder of Crankyflier.com has more magic wand-intensive wishes.
"My wish for the airline industry is that instead of increasing storm intensity, climate change results in exactly the opposite: Bad weather disappears completely," Snyder said.
"Further, aircraft manufacturers come up with a new manufacturing process that not only guarantees airplanes will never have mechanical problems but also allows them to run solely on garbage.
"Without storms and broken airplanes, airlines run 99% of their flights on time. Free from the high cost of oil, airfares plunge, and the world learns to love them again. As the owner of an air travel assistance business, this would put me out of work, but it would be well worth it."

Since I rejoined the scene of the jet3d community in NOV. 04,
I can see things moving quite fast after a 'ghost town' had reigned for about 2-3 years.
Old issue have been tackeled that previous teams could not complete, and yet were simply discouraged and moved on. Finally jet3D will be getting what Eclipse had intended.
Jet' currently compares to Unreal1 as at least 'equal' (fact), or as some say with a 'better' rendering quality than Unreal 1. And soon more in Dx9 features will give a DOOM3 and Unreal3 look & feel, as Jet3D is also a portal engine.
Download will be about 30 megs. Feel free to take a look.
And FEATURE the engine on your wesbite.
Note about Screenshots:
Necropolis screenshots - This is a Quake3 online multiplayer game that has been around since 2002.
outdoor scenes are not dynamically lit.
Terrain shots are to showcase quality of terrain tetxures.
Thank you for your time
Jet3D v2.1.1 release today (w/ new DX9 driver)

Some interesting reading
Posted 15 October 2008 - 07:16 AM
"About six months ago, I started thinking, 'Where did the money come from for Obama?' I have four daughters who went to college, and we were middle class, and money was tight.
We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans. I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979, Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. ' Barry ' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid , both from Pakistan .
During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Neither I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college.
When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barak - not Barry . Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans maybe" After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000/Year.
Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York . By 'chance' he met Antoin ' Tony ' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year.
Rezko was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association.
About two hears later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School ? More student loans?
After law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis , Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which was Rezko's firm.
Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than the asking price. With aLL those Student Loans, where did he get the money for the property? On the same day, Rezko's wife, Rita , purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price.
The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko. Now that we have Obama running for President.
Valerie Jarrett was Michele Obama 's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008, the Times reported, Robert Malley , advisor to Obama was 'sacked after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas,' which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran .
This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'take care of things.'
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all these 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ? And the final bit of news; On September 7, 2008, the Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on "This Week' with George Stephanapoulos . Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith...' When questioned, 'he made a mistake.' Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barak Obama ; Tony Rezko ; Valerie Jarrett ; Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times, May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this? A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within.'"

We enjoyed our stay and although the room and bathroom were spotlessly clean, our room smelt of stale tabacco and as non smokers ourselves was not pleasant.

From the moment of our arrival, the staff members at the hotel were a class act. The room was fantastic with great views and the best part was we were able to take our Golden Retriever. It was truly a great family holiday! I would highly recommend Dolphin Bay Resort & Spa to anyone that wants top-of-the-line service and accommodations.

The Decline of Traditional Brick and Mortar's
Peter is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) has struggled as a mix of bad economic conditions and massive changes in retailing which has them in a similar situation to other large footprint chains like Sears and, to a lesser extent, even the mighty Wal-Mart. Many of them are dealing with entrenched real estate holdings that are losing revenue potential and, by extension, market value. Not only are fewer people shopping at their stores because of changes in what people go to retailers to shop for, fewer people are even going to retail outlets to shop in the first place so there is no demand for their legacy assets by other retailers.
The CEO chair at Best Buy has been one on a pretty quick swivel in recent years and the lack of consistent leadership from that position has muted its response to the obvious changes happening in selling technology in the past 2-3 years.
Inventory is not the Best Policy
Best Buy's business model is rooted in the 20th century and has not adapted adequately to the changes in technology ushered in by the smartphone. E-tailing and showrooming have gotten so bad that even the traditional retailers such as Wal-Mart and Target are suffering, as they all cannibalize each other's easily cross-shopped technology revenue. Wal-Mart has joined Target by no longer selling Amazon's (NASDAQ: AMZN) Kindle Fire in protest.
By contrast, Amazon's global sales went up by 29% in year over year in the 2nd quarter and 36% to customers in North America. Amazon's ecosystem attacks many of these retailers at the core of their business, even for things like food and clothing, once one adds in things like 'subscribe & save' for items like coffee and packaged staples like peanut butter and canned goods.
The problem is that a low price environment engenders a mercenary attitude on the part of consumers. Couple that with the lack of connectedness the big retailer has to your town or home and it becomes very easy for someone to be seduced by the deal of the day. In the U.S. where haggling over price is not done the problem is made even worse. And even then who's going to go through the hassle of trying to haggle with a manager at a Wal-Mart, if you can find one in a store the size of a small town? Best Buy, of course, has more leeway with salespeople on the floor but the point is similar.
Buy the Numbers
In Q2 2012, Best Buy reported net income of just $12 million, net margins of 0.11%, versus $150 million, 1.2% net margins, in the same period in 2011. Top line revenue contracted 7.9% to $10.55 billion US.
Same store comps were down 3.2% in China, where Best buy owns 204 Five Star stores and is facing stiff competition from GOME and Suning both of which struggled this quarter as well. Comps were off 1.6% in the U.S. and 8.2% internationally. Among the few positives from this past quarter was a small bump in revenue per square foot as its retail footprint dropped 4%. Investors should be looking for that number to jump considerably this holiday season.
Let a Thousand Kiosks Bloom
Management is in the process of closing 50 stores, cutting out on 400 corporate jobs and $800 million in costs. It's a good start, but it should be looking at closing a lot more than that. It has written a large part of that cost off while shifting the retail footprint to smaller, mobile-device focused kiosks. There are now 305 Best Buy Mobiles in the U.S. with 100 more on the way before the end of the year.
Using Best Buy's brand to aggregate mobile device service and replacement, regardless of where the phone was bought should be management's focus. If they sell a carrier's phones they should provide direct customer service for them. Cut the deals to make that happen. People get quick and painless service. This will drive word-of-mouth sales and be a win-win for the carriers, especially the smaller ones, who don't have to maintain a separate retail footprint, and Best Buy, who would become synonymous with mobile device service. Between that and partnering with a company like Dell, who is rebuilding themselves as a small business vertical solutions vendor more than just a black box builder, and using GeekSquad to be their on-site service provider, they can speed up response time for replacement devices, etc. for local businesses.
Instead some of their franchisees are spending money redesigning their existing stores to be laid out like your home, as one store in San Antonio, TX is apparently doing. So, instead of getting rid of showrooming, some of their store owners are embracing it, like they are selling furniture or something. Again, this points to a lack of clear direction from management.
As we move our data to the cloud device service and replacement will become a higher margin business as the pain of losing one particular device and the data stored on it locally will not be as catastrophic as it was in the past. The company that becomes the local point of contact within a community to be that quick turnover, service-oriented provider will find themselves in a very good position.
Best Buy Looks for Buyout?
Richard Schulze, the founder and still largest shareholder, offered to buy the remaining shares in the range of $24-26 a share. Even though this initial offer by Schulze was rebuffed the board has green-lighted him to begin his due diligence for a potential takeover. Schulze will need to raise an additional $7-9 billion to finalize the deal.
Hubert Joly as the CEO, who is known as a turnaround expert with his successful restructurings at both EDS and Vivendi will have to accelerate the transition path to a nimbler, more mobile company quickly. With $680 million in cash and short-term equivalents, Best Buy not in a great position to affect this.
It will take a strong 3rd and 4th quarter from an operating perspective to cover their costs. They are carrying $7.6 billion in inventory and goodwill, and backing that out the company lost $1.8 billion in assets in the past year. If those numbers don't improve by the end of CY 2012 I wouldn't give much for their long-term chances. Investors would be wise to wait and see where the global economy goes this fall before deciding to play a hunch on a messy big box retailer in an era of structurally high unemployment and rising food and energy prices.

A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
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.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
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?
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
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.
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.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Evidences for Evolution, Part 2b: The Whales' Tale
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.
Seeing the Flood Story Through an Ancient Israelite Lens
Pete Shaw highlights the story of Noah to explore how the story would have been understood in ancient times and from there he goes on to explore how we might consider it today.
New Limbs from Old Fins, Part 2: Comparative Anatomy
Critics of evolution sometimes portray the theory as an untestable historical conjecture, depicting it as fundamentally different from experimental science in the lab. But the hunt for the earliest tetrapods was an effort to test a hypothesis that had generated a prediction.
Saturday Sermons: The Garden of God
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.
Community Formed by Fire
Let me briefly suggest three elements in the pine savanna ecology that Christians may take as prompts for meditation on life in Christ.

Comments about Hillsdale Tierra Mar Metal Panel Bed in Desert Tan Finish:
I bought this bed in twin size for my daughter's room. It is beautiful! Love the antique color and look of the bed. It blends beautifully with the oak antique dresser and secretary desk that I bought for her room. Looks antique itself! Very, very nice. Would highly recommend it. One thing, there is no cross support underneath. We cut some boards to place across the width to help give box spring and matress a little extra support. Would I buy it again? Yes, absolutely.

I found this info but not sure if this could be her? I know mispellings are common back then and some dates off a little:
Surname Given Name Age Month Day Year Certificate# County Born FHL roll#
Mangone Antonietta 10 y Jul 14 1909 21515(1909) Manhattan 1898 - 1899 1323221
See, we're still trying to figure what happened to Antonetta...she is on the 1900 and 1905 Census...in 1905 she was 8...but don't know what might have happened to her...any way to find out?
I know later, my wife's Grandfather Frank (born 1905 as Frank J Mangini), his last name became Mancini...the 'g' went away and replaced with a 'c'...but his lifelong nickname was Mangi...maybe for Mangini?

Royalty 7 – What's Going On?
I feel I have a duty to my readers to post my thoughts on Royalty 7. I am not in an admin position or have an inside source, so any thoughts posted here are purely my own.
While there are many people who feel they have lost lots and lots of money in Royalty 7, there are as many people who have made money from Royalty 7. I am not making light of the situation but I do feel I have to point out that if you decide to join a HYIP (high yield investment program), you have go to in with the understanding that they could disappear at any time.
While we still do not know exactly what is going on with Royalty 7, there are still a few good things to point out as well as the bad.
Pro's – Good points:
- The site is still up and running.
- The payments are still being added to our accounts in the back office.
- Some people say they are getting paid.
- If they are paying manually, as they have stated; realize it will take time to process payments to thousands of accounts.
Con's – Bad points:
- Royalty 7 has been less than forthcoming with keeping its members updated on what is going on.
- Withdraw requests are being put back into members accounts without an explanation.
- If processors were the problem, then why are other programs being able to rise above the problem and start paying out to their members?
- It seems there are a select few members who are being paid: "the squeaky wheel?"
I admit I have made a great deal of money with Royalty 7 and got a little too comfortable with the $200 plus a day payments but I do not regret being a member and I still hold out hope until the time I can no longer log into the site.
I only invested what I could live with losing "just in case" something happened, which is what everyone should do when joining this type of program. I hope that is the case with you and that you are able to walk away without a loss; however, I know that is not true for some members.
I have stopped promoting Royalty 7 and have removed my links (I hope I haven't forgotten any). I do not advise anyone to join Royalty 7 at this time until we see exactly what is happening. It may be DONE and over with, It may not be DONE and will recover…
Until that time, I cannot in good conscious and will not bring anyone else into Royalty 7.
Should I have any new information of the recovery of R7 or the total demise of Royalty 7, I will let you know.
Share this with your fellow marketers and/or any new people who are considering becoming a member of Royalty 7.

We doubt there is a shorter path to poverty than to have a child as a teenager. But even that can be quickened with the addition of a second or perhaps a third child.
All the statistics testify to the same future: When teenage girls become pregnant, their odds of an education and a career are greatly diminished and their children join in suffering the consequences of impending and pervasive poverty. Don't depend on Dad because he won't be around. The grandparents will join in raising the children. And perhaps worst of all, the innocent newborns will most likely be next in this lengthening line to a life of less.
Is there anything more selfish than a child having a baby?
Yet in Robeson County, it happens all the time as we rank 11th in the state in the rate of teenage mothers. During 2011, 355 girls in Robeson County changed their first soiled diaper.
If there is good news, it's hard to find, but we will go with this: The rate has been declining in recent years, and Bill Smith, the director of the county Health Department, is convinced that is because of outreach programs that focus more on prevention and less on the folly that teenagers can be talked out of having sex.
Yet in Robeson County, fixed as we are in the middle of the Bible Belt, our strategy has been to cross our fingers and look away and pretend that our children's hormones will keep themselves in check. Sex education in schools has focused on abstinence, with educators saying this is a subject that is best broached at home, except that isn't happening — at least not with the desired results.
In an ideal world, one that doesn't exist, that is how it would be done. Parents would sit down with their children as they near puberty, have an honest discussion about sex, highlight the benefits of waiting — and then pound home the consequences of not doing so, which for the girls is to buy baby formula instead of a prom dress.
But too often that doesn't happen, which is why comprehensive sex education is needed in our schools. Instead our school board has decided that sex education should be steered more toward abstinence, and less toward contraception, the threat of STD's and the consequences of becoming a mother or a father while in high school or even middle school.
There is a chasm between an abstinence-only approach and handing out free condoms, but that ground hasn't been sufficiently explored because the conversation is just too uncomfortable.
It seems clear to us that this county's approach hasn't work historically — in 2008 Robeson County's rate of teen mothers was No. 2 in North Carolina — and if the tide has been stemmed out all, it is because of a slight shift toward a more comprehensive approach that comes from outside the halls of our schools.
We can continue doing as we have done, and we all know what that guarantees — that we continue to raise generations of children who are born into a world with a pretty sorry hand to play.
What could be more unfair?

text: Top athletes on drugs will always beat top athletes off drugs. Are you saying Steiner is that much of a better athlete than Chigishev that he can beat him without ever touching drugs? An example: Sprinter wins the gold medal with 9.70 in the 100, 2nd place is 9.71. Winner gets popped but 2nd place never gets busted and comes from a team that doesn't typically produce top sprinters. I'd argue there is no way he is clean. Some would argue he is absolutely clean even though his time would be otherworldly for a clean runner. It is the same thing in weightlifting in my eyes. People like to look around and say wow there are so many genetic freaks out there. I disagree. There are so many people on drugs out there that would be very very good athletes even without the drugs that the naive get confused. Certainly there are some freaks in the world, but not enough as to where every sport seems to have endless numbers of them at the top levels. Maybe Steiner is a true freak. I kind of wish he is, it would be awesome. He seems like a very lovable character. Unfortunately, it is more likely in today's world that he is simply another athlete that uses steroids.Chris I agree with your point about being suspicious of all powerlifters entering the sport.There will be a real crossroads in sport as a whole within the next century as science continues to take over.

Left for dead, Bo comes back from the ashes
Caught raiding a chicken coop in rural Wyoming, a blue heeler named Bo was shot twice, tossed in a barrel, doused with gasoline and set on fire.
According to the Washakie County Sheriff's Office, an 18-year-old neighbor shot the dog — after returning home and finding it was going after the family chickens.
Then, thinking Bo was dead, he asked his father what to do with the dog's body.
"I said, 'Burn it,'" the father, Mike Gerber, told the Casper Star-Tribune. " …We have had other predators come around — and even our chickens that the dog had killed — how we got rid of them was we just burned them."
His son, Wesley Gerber, dragged the dog to a burn barrel in the front yard, doused the dog with gasoline, and threw in a match.
"The next thing you know, the dog comes popping up out of there in flames," Mike Gerber told the newspaper. Bo ran around in a circle, and then home.
Ben and Abby Redland, Bo's owners, said when Bo ran into the house "there was this terrible smell … His hair was melted and fallling out. He was still smoldering."
Bo was rushed to a vet. Bullets had grazed his cheek and back, and he had third-degree burns over most of his body. "Bo was in such shock, the vet didn't think he'd make it," Abby Redland told the Los Angeles Times.
Since the incident — back in December, in rural Worland, Wyoming, 150 miles north of Casper — three-year-old Bo has fully recovered, though he has a few scars.
The Redlands have taken out a restraining order on the Gerbers. And they're pushing to change Wyoming law and introduce measures that require those who shoot pets to at least contact the animal's owners.
"I wish it never happened," Mike Gerber said. "The decisions being made were made fast. Maybe if they would've been thought through more clearly, we would've done things differently."

I have been teaching Kindergarten for 7 years now, and I love every minute of it. Even though most days are challenging, it's never the same as the day before. I love to watch the sparkle in the eyes of my kiddos when they learn something new!
I have a very laid back style. I've very open-ended and creative, and avoid worksheets as much as possible. We do work stations following Debbie Diller's methods, and I teach guided reading following Beverly Tyner's methods. For writing I take on Lucy Calkin's writer's workshop ideas. As for math, I love to create my own activities, and rarely open our math series. Hands-on is the way to go! I love to try new things and am always on the lookout to expand my knowledge of best practices.
Yet to be added
I have an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. A BS and MS in Elementary Education. I attended a traditional Montessori school from pre-school through 5th grade, which I think encourages my hands-on teaching techniques.
I have 2 awesome kids! My son is deaf, and my daughter has ADHD. It adds to my experience in the classroom. You can check out the book I wrote about my son: http://www.amazon.com/Gavins-Amazing-Ears-Suzanne-Kobb/dp/1463509251/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331496162&sr=8-1 I have 2 crazy dogs and an amazing husband, who stands by me at all times.
