- Format: Paperback
- Published: 26 April 2012
- Publisher: Transworld Publishers Ltd
Bear Grylls is a man who has always sought the ultimate in adventure. Growing up on the Isle of Wight, he was taught by his father to sail and climb at an early age. As a teenager he found identity and purpose through both mountaineering and martial arts, which led the young adventurer to the foothills of the mighty Himalaya and a grandmaster's karate training camp in Japan. On returning home, he embarked upon the notoriously gruelling selection course for the British Special Forces to join 21 SAS - a journey that was to push him to the very limits of physical and mental endurance. Then, in a horrific free-fall parachuting accident, Bear broke his back in three places. It was touch and go whether he would ever walk again. However, only eighteen months later Bear became one of the youngest ever climbers to scale Everest, aged only twenty-three. But this was just the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures...Known and admired by millions, Bear Grylls has survived where few would dare to go. Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his action-packed life. Gripping, moving and wildly exhilarating, Mud, Sweat and Tears is a must-read for adrenalin junkies and armchair adventurers alike.

Bear Grylls' prime-time TV adventure series is one of the most watched shows on the planet, reaching an estimated 1.2 billion viewers in over 200 countries. Bear has authored eleven books and, as a former member of the UK Special Forces, was made an honorary Lieutenant Commander in the Royal Navy.

Disclosure, transparency, and market discipline
The aim of this paper is to examine what has been the role of information provision to the market throughout the crisis. We consider two main sources of information to the market, financial statements and information provided by credit rating agencies. We examine how these sources of information work and the effectiveness of their disclosure process during the crisis. Contrary to the commonly held view, fair value accounting did not have a major impact on the crisis development and severity. However, the structure and lack of accountability of credit rating agencies had a profound impact on their incentives, which may have jeopardized the accuracy of the whole rating process. We claim that the crisis experience has changed the way we think about information as well as market discipline and discuss policy implications and proposals for regulation.

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.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
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: Decoding ENCODE
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.
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".
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Is There "Junk" in Your Genome? Part 4
Now that we have covered significant ground with respect to what various classes of pseudogenes are and how they arise, we are now able to properly evaluate antievolutionary arguments put forward in an attempt to discredit these lines of evidence for evolution.
Series: He Who Has Ears
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.
Where is the Genetic Evidence for Evolution?
The discovery of DNA has revolutionized our understanding of common descent, particularly in the past few decades. Mutated genes spread through populations over generations, leading to evolutionary change. In this podcast, we look at several examples of genetic evidence for evolution.
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: 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.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.

2010 Lexus IS C 250C Review
by dbwester |
"Good looking on the outside. Looking good from the inside!"
The IS250C is a hard-top convertible that my kids call a transformer. The handling of this auto is remarkable in a convertible car. Lexus has a reputation for great build quality and dependability. Thus far, it appears that is the case with our car. There just isn't anything more fun to drive than a convertible!

Blind Guardian
Imaginations Through the Looking Glass (DVD)
You European sons of bitches are damned lucky. You get to see Blind Guardian live as often as we are forced to hear about tours from shitty American pop-stars and boy bands. If I remember correctly, Blind Guardian has done only one full US tour, and the only date which they were going to play in my area got cancelled due to a broken down tour bus. This Imaginations Through the Looking Glass DVD is very likely the first opportunity for many Americans to see the band in the live setting.
There's really nothing spectacular or new about this DVD. It's a simple 2-DVD set with the live show on one disc and the special features on the other. This goes to show that the live show is a very long ordeal, which is quite nice. They play pretty much everything you would want to hear, a great eclectic mix of songs from their entire catalogue. They even managed to squeeze in "And Then There Was Silence", the fourteen minute epic from their latest album, and a fantastic song at that. Blind Guardian is one of the most original bands out there, their soloing and riffing is fantastically folkish, yet keeps its power metal roots.
The show itself is pretty impressive. There were at least two crane-operated cameras showing shots of the crowd and the band, although it did get somewhat cheesy when Kürsch kept looking at the camera as it went by. Then there were a good three cameras solely on drummer Thomen Stauch. It was definitely a treat to watch lead guitarist André Olbrich work his magic, and the directing cues were generally spot on. Not too predictable, i.e. focusing too much on the action itself as it's happening, yet not too chaotic to where you wish the editing would settle down for once. Overall I was generally impressed.
A couple of gripes I had were with the band itself and just a few of the editing bits and pieces. My first gripe is that Hansi isn't all that charismatic of a lead singer. His voice is absolutely fantastic, hands down one of the best vocalists out there. In fact, I think he even sounds BETTER in the live setting, he puts so much soul behind his singing; it's quite powerful. However he doesn't show much of that emotion. He sort of just stands there with a straight face and does his thing. The man isn't just a robot of course, he does move around a bit and he doesn't just stare at the ground ala Rob Halford, but I would like to see him get into it a little more. My second gripe was a stupid small gripe, but who the hell wears a Nike shirt on stage in front of thousands of fans? This is directed at Olbrich, of course, who looked like he forgot he was going on stage that night. Of course it doesn't matter, but it's just fun to make fun of such things. Also, they really don't show much of the bass player at all. It was rather comical, actually, since he's practically hiding in the back like a whipping boy or something. It made me laugh anyway. Finally, there needed to be more shots of Thomen. His drumming is so incredibly awesome, and they rarely even show him! There needed to be a camera directed right at his feet so we could see his double bass work, then an overhead view of the skin slammery and cymbals. He's definitely under-appreciated by the director.
Aside from these gripes, this is a must-have DVD for any Blind Guardian fan. Especially for the American fans who don't get a chance to see them every other week like you European whores whom I am so jealous of. On top of all of this, the cover art is spectacular. There are various Lord of the Rings characters buying tickets (Gimli and Legolas), and Gandalf is taking a picture of the band with a digital camera! How fitting. Blind Guardian live is a powerful sight, one no metalhead should be without.

Should Sales Tax Be Applied to Clothing?
In this week's Hot Topics conversation, we want to know how you feel about a bill that has been introduced in the State Legislature.
This week, the Senate Tax Reform Committee began working on measures, including one that would expand the sales tax base while lowering the overall rate by half a percent.
Under the bill, shoppers would pay sales tax on individual clothing items costing more than $200 dollars. The first $200 would be exempt.
The committee did not take action on the plan.
The proposal was introduced last week by Sen. Terri Bonoff (DFL-Minnetonka), Sen. Chris Eaton (DFL-Brooklyn Center) and Sen. Ann Rest (DFL-New Hope).
Watch committee testimony on the proposal in the attached video by MNSenateMedia.
Do you think this plan is a good idea? Why or why not? Tell us your opinion in the comments area below.

Sales tax on clothing is okay with me-- as long as it does not apply to used clothing sales.

I think it is a terrible idea and would seriously affect Southdale and the Mall of America. People come from all over the world to buy clothes in Minnesota. Often women will buy 3,4 or more suits because of the wonderful prices without a Sales Tax. I have a customer that comes up every 3 months from Costa Rica just to shop and spends a thousand every time. I think to add a sales tax would just wipe out that wonderful draw to Minnesota.

As a retail worker in my former life, I have to say Evelyn is right about people traveling to Minnesota to take advantage of the no sales tax on clothing. Little known fact: Wedding dresses are considered clothing. I mean, I know it is a piece of clothing, but still seems funny. I worked at David's Bridal in high school and we had a ton of brides come from Canada to purchase tax free. Think of the average price of a wedding gown and what the sales tax revenue would be on that.

Great comment on the Richfield Patch Facebook page from Rissa Pahl: "I feel if it is illegal to go without clothing, it should not be taxed."

Are you telling me you can't clothe yourself for less than $200? I agree about not taxing used clothes and I like the cap. what I want to know is what is being done with the new tax revenue? if the choice is smaller teacher/student ratios or no tax on clothes, then bring on the clothes tax, but if we're building bridges to nowhere then forget it. Reform how taxes are spent alongside the quantity and method of taxation.

The Thoroughbred Owners of California recently announced it will implement the Mid Atlantic Uniform Medication Program, effective Jan. 1, 2014. The TOC joins eight other states in the mid-Atlantic and Northeast: Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. The program includes a two-category drug classification system--controlled therapeutic medications and prohibited substances. Lasix will be the sole medication permitted on race day. All accredited by the RMTC Code of Standards for Drug Testing, the testing laboratories for each of the participating states will employ the same technology and detection levels.
"We look forward to working through the process with the CHRB and horsemen to begin this program on Jan. 1," said TOC President Joe Morris. "It is vitally important to help bring together a national effort and uniformity when it comes to medication."
Added Dr. Mark Dedomenico, TOC Medication Chair, Implementing the mid-Atlantic Uniform Medication Program was an easy decision for the TOC since their regulations pratically mirror what we've been doing for the past year."
