DCRP Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V
Overall, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX200V is a very good super zoom camera.

Dear Reader,
I'm wrapping up this series on Satan as a Functional Theodicy. In this series I tried to reflect on how we think about Satan. My argument has been that Satan tends to function as a theodicy in the minds of many religious believers. I've cited theological, historical, anecdotal, and empirical evidence for this position. Below lists the relevant posts in order. I appreciate all those who participated (and are sill participating!) in the discussion. Hope you found the series interesting.

Entrepreneur Magazine

Young Millionaires: Class of 2004
Company description: Online referral source for automobiles, real estate, home improvement and financing
Founders: "Behnam Behrouzi", 23, "John Truchard", 32, and "Payam Zamani", 33
Location: Walnut Creek, California
Projected 2004 sales: $20 million
Coming to America: The story of how Reply.com was founded has more twists and turns than a Hollywood movie. It begins with how Payam Zamani got from his home country of Iran to the United States. At age 16, Zamani was smuggled out of Iran to escape the extreme religious persecution that members of the Bahai Faith were subjected to. He came to America in 1988 with $75 and no knowledge of English.
Paint the Town: The entrepreneurial bug first bit Zamani during a summer as general manager of Student Works Program, a student-run painting franchise at the University of California, Davis, where he met fellow student (and future vice president of sales) John Truchard in 1992. "Since Payam and I both enjoyed the experience, it was natural for us to talk about future opportunities," says Truchard.
A Portal Is Born: Remember AutoWeb.com? A co-founder, Zamani left AutoWeb six months after taking it public in 1999. "I always felt that there was a lot left undone," he says. "I wanted to get back in there and rebuild that concept." And that's just what Zamani and his team did.
Next Step: In 2001, Next Phase Media was launched and later became Reply.com. Besides automobiles, Reply.com is a gateway for real estate, home improvement and financing. All the content is free to the consumer. Since Zamani's nephew, Behnam Behrouzi, had been an entrepreneur since high school, Zamani pulled him in. As CTO, Behrouzi played a pivotal role in building up the technology to power the new venture. "Our vision was to eventually do with services what Amazon did with products," says Behrouzi.
Going Public: The co-founders made the decision to not touch any VC financing, instead opting to bootstrap the business. That has paid off. Behrouzi, Truchard and Zamani have big plans for Reply.com. An IPO could be in the works early next year. "Five years from now, Reply.com [will] be a household name," says Truchard. At the rate they're growing, you can expect it to be even sooner. A.C.K.
Whats your point? That all the smart ones left Iran and become successful elsewhere? Or that many of them are only part Iranian and have never set foot in the country as an adult?

I love the spaciousness of the Acadia...I have 3 children ages, 14, 8 & 9mos and I needed something that would comfortably fit them all in the 2nd row and with a bulky carseat my previous SUV (Volvo XC90) was cramped for them all. Love the ease of the 3rd row if we need it and the huge amount of cargo space with the 3rd row down.
Wish the Acadia got better gas mileage but I knew this going into it.

Abele To Legislators: Restore Transit And Child Support Services Funds
In the first and only public hearing in southeast Wisconsin, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele asked Legislators to put money back into transit and child support services.
Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele testified in front of the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee (JFC) on Thursday asking them to restore funding for the Milwaukee County Transit and statewide Child Support Services. The JFC met in Greendale for the first of four public hearings across the state on Governor Scott Walker's proposed budget. The proposed budget calls for a 10 percent cut in transit funding and Abele wants the funding restored because 150,000 people rely on the Milwaukee County Transit every day. If the funding is cut, routes could be cut and fares might be increased, he said. "Few priorities are as important in the current economy as creating and maintaining private sector jobs," Abele said. "That is why we are …

This is a very liberal writer. Apparently it's ok for rioters to get out of control and vandalize and steal merchandise out of stores. These machines are not brought out for obvious reasons. They are not used on everyone. The majority of people have common sense and will leave when the crowd becomes out of hand. When you are ordered to disperse and do not disperse what do you think is going to happen.

PEAK – A 42-year-old Prosperity man has been arrested and charged with murder after his wife's body was found in the Broad River on Friday.
Sheriff Lee Foster told numerous news media outlets that deputies arrested Allen Lee Koon after the body was identified as his wife, Cindy.
Cindy Koon's body was found by a group of boaters near S.C. 213 around 12:30 p.m. Friday, according to the sheriff's department release.
Investigators said she had been beaten, stabbed and cut. They were able to identify Koon through her fingerprints using a statewide fingerprint identification system. Newberry County Coroner Craig Newton said Koon died from a cut to her jugular vein.
Investigators identified Koon around 6 p.m. Friday, about the same time Allen Koon reported her missing to the Newberry County Sheriff's Office.
Based on the investigation, investigators went into Koon's home with a search warrant and found several items of evidence including forensic evidence.
The couple has a long, documented history of domestic problems going as far back as 2007; however, there were no convictions for domestic violence against either the husband or wife, according to the sheriff's department's records.
At this point it appears that Koon acted alone in the death and moving of the his wife's body, according to investigators.
A bond hearing has not been set.

Why Do Sidewalks End at Route 9?
The latest 'You Ask, Patch Answers' addresses that question.
Why are there no sidewalks on much of Route 9 asked a MetroWest Patch reader. Patch asked Massachusetts Department of Transportation spokesman Michael Verseckes. "Sidewalks along state highways are typically provided as a result of a request from the municipality during project design or are constructed by a private developer as a form of impact mitigation. "Right now, on Route 9, there are sidewalks through sections of Shrewsbury, a small piece of Southborough, and some through Framingham and Natick. "Sidewalks are typically located in area where pedestrian traffic exists or is expected, such as residential areas and central business districts. Sidewalks are often added sporadically over the years, which leads to disconnected sections…

Lassen High School freshman wrestler goes to state championships
Lassen High School freshman Kenny Jones approaches the head table prior to his first match in the CIF State Boys Wrestling Championships in Bakersfield, Calif. March 1. Photo submitted |
March 11 — As the wrestling season comes to a close, Lassen High School's Kenny Jones has a lot to be proud of. Jones, along with Lassen High School wrestling coach Errin Montgomery, traveled to the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State Boys Wrestling Championships in Bakersfield, Calif. Friday, March 1 and Saturday, March 2. Jones finished his freshman season in the top 24 in the state in the 113-pound weight division.
In order to qualify for the CIF State tournament, wrestlers had to place within the top three in their weight class at the Master's tournament in their section. Jones won third place in the 113-pound weight class during the North Section Masters Tournament, making him the only LHS wrestler and only freshman in the North Section to qualify for the state tournament.
Forty wrestlers from each of the 10 sections in California participated in each weight division at the CIF tournament, meaning 560 wrestlers in California, spread between the 14 CIF weight classes, qualified.
The CIF State Wrestling tournament began in 1973 at Cal State University, Hayward and was approved on a one-year trial basis. It is now considered one of the best high school state tournaments in the nation.
Looking back on the wrestling season and the state championship tournament, Jones was happy, yet humble. "I was happy to make it there … I was two matches away from placing, so I did good, but I think I could've done better," he said. Jones reflected on his coaches and teammates, saying that they did well, better than previous years. He is looking forward to the next wrestling season and hopes to get another shot at the state championship tournament.
Cougars enjoy new Memorial Park scoreboard
March 5 — As the Lassen Community College (LCC) baseball team prepared for its first home game Friday, March 1, it was pleased to see a new scoreboard going up at Memorial Park.
According to head coach Frank Avila, the old scoreboard had not worked well the entire time he has been coaching at LCC. The LCC baseball team helped raise the money for the new scoreboard by holding a golf tournament last summer. The Kiwanis Club, The American Legion, the Lassen High School baseball team and several local businesses also fundraised and donated money for the new scoreboard.
The baseball field at Memorial Park is the home of all things baseball in Susanville. The field is used for Susanville Little League, men's league, senior league, Lassen High School, The American Legion team and LCC. It's no surprise fundraising for the new scoreboard was a community effort and that the baseball community is looking forward to seeing it at home games in the future. At an LCC baseball practice Thursday, Feb. 21, Avila said, "We want to thank all the local businesses in town that helped us come together to get the new scoreboard at Memorial Park. I know it will be an advantage to pretty much the whole city of Susanville baseball-wise, so that's good. I want to thank the Kiwanis Club and Steve Robertson. He's the guy behind the scoreboard and he did a great job."
In addition to their excitement over the new scoreboard, Avila and the LCC baseball team are looking forward to the remainder of the baseball season. At practice on Feb. 21, LCC had already played 11 games, all of them away, and held a record of 1-10.
Despite the losses, Avila was positive about the Cougar's upcoming games. "The season's going good. We're off to a slow start, but once we get outside a little more and practice and start working on the little things its going to take to be successful, we'll be fine," Avila said.
While the Cougars played competitively in their previous games, unfortunately they didn't come out on top.
However, the Cougars aren't focusing on the losses, their future competitors or any other challenges they may face throughout the remainder of the season. Instead they are focusing on themselves, the quality of their game and the things they can control. "When we worry about other people is when we start getting in trouble. We need to play against the game, not necessarily against the opponent. We need to play a clean game and play our style of baseball and make people beat us," Avila said.
According to Avila, the sophomores on the team are the leaders. They help the Cougars come together as a team competing for one common goal, rather than playing as individuals. The Cougars 11 pitchers are led by left-handed pitcher Colby Duncan, from Reno, Nev. and right-handed pitcher Cory Louber, from Chico, Calif. Lassen High School alumni Austin Chedwick and Jared Bertotti also play for the Cougars.
The LCC baseball team had its first home game with the new scoreboard Friday, March 1 against Delta College. The Cougar's next home game is a doubleheader against Butte College at 12 p.m. Saturday, March 9.

Oh, I haven't been around much...been busy, but breezing on through tonight before a take a nap before reporting to my job.
This is exactly what I have been wrestling just recently at my job. As I told the Lord, I feel unopen to continue bearing my cross there right now. I want to pass over this cup, and I want to say like Jesus, "Nevertheless, not my will but yours," but in honesty I feel closed to it now, but want to be willing to be changed.
So, been praying...and with more time I will be looking into this more thoroughly as I just quickly skimmed through some comments due to time restraints.
For now I'll just say this. One time many years ago when I prayed to the Lord to hear me (as at the time I thought He may not be willing to because of the way I was living which I felt wasn't pleasing to Him), He answered me...and He let me feel his great joy and pleasure that I had turned to Him to communicate with Him. Said He never turned his back on me, but I on Him (wasn't a reprimand, but just info for my knowledge). He said no matter where I was and what I was doing He would always be there...and don't remember if He actually said this next thing but if memory serves me correct, I felt like it was a "Live your life, just say in touch with me. I love it when you do that."
So, I believe we can do wrong, and I am not looking to make excuses for my poor choices, but He gives me room to make those choices and awaits for me to communicate with Him and be made willing to follow Him anywhere. There is grace for the progressive journey, not grace to be used as an excuse, but grace.
Pa pa is always waiting with open arms, and to clean up the mess.
I do believe, as I seen through my skimming, that these statements do need to be taken into context. Throughout the years I've heard a sermon or teaching packed up in one or two liners and if they aren't viewed within the larger picture of God's heart in Christ and his purposes, they will be misused.
For instance, "It's not about me," is a wonderful truth, but a good deal of times when I have heard that one liner used, I've felt like an employee in some production plant that is just like a number. Like I am not important. Well, I do count, and in my personal relationship with God it is about Him and me and I am important to Him, with my quirks and all, but yes, in the larger scheme of things, it isn't about me, but about Him and what He is doing to bring about his will on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Hi everyone. Miss you all, been busy but hope to be back in to read all the fine wisdom that comes from this place...there's probably something in here for me.
Love in Him,

First up, this sh*t is hard to do upside down!!! - apologies if it looks a bit crazy.
I'm sure there'll be plenty who agree... there's nothing like a plan that you've worked on for a while coming together...
Have been heading to Jervis bay as much as possible this year, in hopes of nailing my first kingy.
After multiple trips, I've learnt wuite a lot - like catching livies is bloody hard, and just what an angry salmon can do to your lure...
With good weather scheduled for saturday (for once), and knowledge from my previuos trial and error trips, i was feeling unusually confident - I think it started around 5 on friday arvo, when the local Hobie dealer rang to say that their new shipment of deep gear buckets for the 8" hatch had come in. Funny how that little extra got me pumped.
The plan was coming together. Anyway, launched nice and early, but couldn't buy a livie. anchored up and berleyed, even used my own bait catching rigs, but couldn't raise anything more than schools of leathers... ended the bait session with one small yakka and a pike. Confidence was a little rattled.
Trolled my way out to the reef, enjoying the conditions, at least the weather was perfect. Strangely enough, there were hardly any boats around...
got out to the reef, whacked the nearly dead pike onto my livie rig, dragged him round for a bit until the rig snagged on the reef, managed to get the rig back, but no pike. No Interest that i could tell.
Chucked the yakka on, and sent him down, and cruised along for a while, after ten minutes or so felt him getting a little twitchy, and sure enough BOOM! and we were on!for the first little bit, it was a 50/50 affair,and i was worried i might be about to cop another dusting.
However, with a few carefully chosen words through gritted teeth, i began to get the better of things, and once i had the fish pointing the right way, it came up pretty easily... my first ever kingy!!
Sorry about the phto quality, only had the phone and was a little bit too excited to care about great photos.
needless to say, pretty pumped - of course, it went 62cm on the lie detector so i there's another plan to work towards now.

How Pregnancy (Conception) Occurs
Topic Overview
Most women are able to become pregnant from Reference puberty Opens New Window, when their Reference menstrual cycles Opens New Window begin, until Reference menopause Opens New Window, when their cycles stop. A pregnancy starts with fertilization, when a woman's egg joins with a man's sperm. Fertilization usually takes place in a Reference fallopian tube Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window that links an ovary to the uterus. If the fertilized egg successfully travels down the fallopian tube and implants in the uterus, an embryo starts growing.
Ovulation, fertilization, implantation
All the eggs for a woman's lifetime are stored in her ovaries. Women do not keep producing eggs. This is different from men, who continuously make more sperm.
About once a month, Reference an egg is released Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window from one of a woman's two ovaries. This is called ovulation. The egg then enters the nearby fallopian tube that leads to the uterus.
If a woman and a man have unprotected sexual intercourse, sperm that is ejaculated from the man's penis may reach the egg in the fallopian tube. If one of the sperm cells penetrates the egg, Reference the egg is fertilized Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window and begins developing.
The egg takes several days to travel down the fallopian tube into the uterus. After it is in the uterus, a fertilized egg usually attaches to (implants in) the lining of the uterus (Reference endometrium Opens New Window). But not all fertilized eggs successfully implant. If the egg is not fertilized or does not implant, the woman's body sheds the egg and the endometrium. This shedding causes the bleeding in a woman's Reference menstrual period Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window.
When a fertilized egg does implant, a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) begins to be produced in the uterus. This is the hormone that a pregnancy test measures. It prevents the uterine lining from being shed, so the woman does not have a period. Other signs such as breast changes and nausea occur in a woman's body, also meaning that pregnancy has begun.

But the commission has no regulatory authority; all four of its seats are currently vacant; and the money Congress appropriated to improve voting systems has been spent, said Kim Brace, a Washington-area election specialist.
Voting machines purchased after Florida's debacle of "hanging chads" and "butterfly ballots" that left some voters confused are now wearing down, "and the old operating systems of 2002 are no longer around," said Brace, president of Election Data Services, a consulting firm specializing in election administration.
"People would like to buy better machines or have more of them," he said. "But the financial problems of the last two to four years have really played havoc on local election officials."
Many states overhauled their election laws and expanded the use of early voting.
But this year, Republican administrations in Florida and Ohio led efforts to scale back early voting, leading to late-inning court battles. In addition, in early October, a federal court blocked Pennsylvania's effort to enforce a voter identification law.
"Certainly, changing the rules at the last minute makes no sense at all if you're trying to make sure your poll workers are trained properly," Brace said. The rules should be set by the spring, so election officials can use primary contests to test their processes "when I don't have 85% of my people showing up."
Yes, 85% -- or close to it. Brace is also a poll worker and a member of the canvassing board in Prince William County, Virginia, on the outskirts of Washington, where Tuesday's turnout at his precinct was 83%, he said.
Long lines and wait times are "not entirely surprising" in a presidential election year, said Carrie Davis, executive director of the League of Women Voters of Ohio. The expansion of early voting helped ease Election Day lines at polling places, she said -- but that also led some counties to consolidate voting precincts to save money.
"That only works if that early and absentee voting stays available," said Davis, whose group was involved in earlier court cases over Ohio's voting rules and filed a friend-of-the-court brief in a dispute over counting provisional ballots this year.
Ohio Republicans had attempted to cut off early voting in the last three days before the election, arguing they needed that time to organize and prepare for Tuesday. Democrats argued that the move would have disproportionately affected Democratic voters, and the U.S. Supreme Court blocked the move in mid-October.

Location: Honey Bee Research
Technical Abstract: Microbes, are a diverse group of unicellular organisms that include bacteria, fungi, archaea, protists, and sometimes viruses. Bees carry a diverse assemblage of microbes (mostly bacteria and fungi). Very few are pathogenic; most microbes are likely commensal or even beneficial to the colony. Microbes play important roles in the processing and preservation of pollen. They also help prevent the growth of pathogenic organisms. This Chapter includes a description of known microbes in honey bee colonies and their role in the nutrition and health of honey bees. A historical summary of work on beneficial microbes is provided along with a discussion of new molecular and metagenomic tools to more deeply investigate the microbiome of honey bees and their colonies. Recent application of metagenomic techniques indicate that the great number of microorganisms uncovered using classic culturing techniques represent only a small portion of the actual microbiota in bees and their food. A discussion of ways that current research of the microbiome in honey bees can be greatly advanced because of the work being done in the Human Microbiome Project also is included. We are just beginning to learn about the role of microbes in the health of all organisms including honey bees. We know that many metabolic processes are not directed by host genes, but rather those of symbiotic microbes. This implies that optimum health depends on maintaining conditions that encourage the growth of those microbes needed to process food and either convert it to energy or use it to synthesize more complex molecules via anabolic pathways.
