Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
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.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
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: 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.
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".
Series: Thinking Aloud Together
This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
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.
Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church
A five-year project headed by the Barna Group explores the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture.
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.
Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
Series: The Cambrian "Explosion", Transitional Forms, and the Tree of Life
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
The Weapon of Science, the Sword of the Spirit, and a Call to Prayer
My perception is that science is a tool, but I fear that far too often we as evangelicals have perceived it as a weapon.
Why Must the Church Engage in Scientific Discourse?
In this video conversation, Os Guinness addresses the question of why it is essential for Christians to engage in scientific discourse. Resistance, skepticism, and hostility to science are not biblical precepts, but views that originated from Christian movements that emerged in the 19th century.
In The Bones
I am a fan of the blog "Jesus Creed." Recently it published an interesting post about the transition from fins to limbs as evidenced by fossils of an organism trapped in sediment 375 million years ago.
It happened again this week. I received an e-mail from a student at a major university who is in the midst of a profound personal crisis.
Framing the Conversation
When Christians discuss creation, evolution, and design, it is easy to focus immediately on areas of controversy and disagreement. We think it is important to start by pointing out certain areas on which nearly all Christians agree.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.

Solving sniffles
Help your kids conquer colds and flu this winter with tips and remedies that really work. more
Teaching your children to eat healthy at an early age provides a solid foundation that they will continue into adulthood. You can give your child the best start to living a healthy lifestyle by introducing a wide variety of foods at an early age, including wholegrain foods.
Wholegrains are all three parts of the grain (bran, germ and endosperm) and they are a fantastic addition to your child's diet providing both carbohydrates – which give energy for growing bodies, as well as other valuable nutrients such as protein, vitamins and minerals.
There are no official daily targets in Australia for how much wholegrain should be eaten per day, but Go Grains Health and Nutrition – an independent advisory board - has established a daily guide:
It's easier than you think! Here are some typical wholegrain foods and their wholegrain content:
Children have small tummies so making sure they eat all their nutrients over the day can be challenging. Fortunately wholegrains can be found in so many different foods, especially breakfast cereals such as Weet-Bix Kids. With two biscuits representing 28.8 grams of wholegrains, not only will you have already met more than half the daily intake, your child will be provided with the energy they need for learning and physical activity.
Another common and very successful trick in meeting recommended daily wholegrain intake is to ensure that wholegrains are present at every meal. Replace white bread for wholemeal at lunchtime or regular pasta with wholegrain pasta at dinnertime. As for snacks, try wholemeal mini muffins, pita bread filled with salad, fruit or bran loaf and pancakes made with wholemeal flour. Popcorn is a wholegrain too!

In-depth interviews reveal a broad range of violence against girls—with far-reaching and enduring effects
By Krista M. Chronister, Associate Professor, University of Oregon College of Education, Counseling Psychology Program
At 85 percent, women make up the overwhelming majority of reported partner violence victims in the United States, and partner violence is the most common form of violence against women around the world (1.2). Although all communities experience partner violence, there are significant disparities in partner violence rates and individuals' access to services in marginalized communities (3,4). To date, girls, ages 16–24 years, are most at risk for experiencing dating violence (5). Studies conducted with youth from diverse identity, socioeconomic, and geographic communities suggest dating abuse rates range from 25 percent to 50 percent (6). (more…)

After researching online reading I was left wondering if our concentration on content structuring was an attempt to communicate to the 'new reader'. The question is,
Who is the new reader?
In order to get to know the new reader, we have to answer the age old ever changing question; how do we read online? According to Usability God Jacob Nielsen, we don't. What his group found was that readers don't 'read', they skim and scan looking for keywords and anything that catches their attention. But that does not answer the question, it dismisses it.
Eye-tracking studies reveal emerging reading patterns and is a great way to measure our transition with technology. Early studies showed that reading is not a left to right process, first we sweep our eyes over the text stopping on 'fixations'. The findings showed that viewers fixate on a word, depending on word length and whether it was a content word (85%) or function word (35%).
Similar eye-tracking studies of online reading done by the Nielson Norman Group discovered a dominant reading pattern that lead to the saying, "F is for Fast". Starting from the upper left corner, users sweep their eyes across the page in a F shaped pattern. Two horizontal swipes across and one vertical swipe down the left.
Printed material is still statistically more engaging but the line is merging. Eyes tracking studies of newspapers showed that 55% of words were read on printed versions while 44% of the same articles were read on the online version. Psychologists suggest that the problem maybe in our excessive selectivity brought on by information's ease of access.
Overall research showed that users scan and skim web content. The most recent study I found stated that 79 percent of users scanned pages while only 16 percent read word-by-word. At most only twenty percent of the words on tested sites were actually read. They also found that scanning of text was more common in higher-literacy users. Lower-literacy users read word for word, they 'plow' the text line by line. Plowing text reduces the field of view causing users to miss objects outside the text. Lastly lower-literacy users were found to break concentration when having to scroll or paginate. In fact, 80% of the time was spent above the fold (vs. below). and 69% of the time looking at the left half of a page (vs. right).
Information Foraging
Just give me the answer.
The biggest problem is skimming and scanning or information foraging. A six year study showed that web users changed from 'surfing' to what is being called 'information foraging' in other words skimming for something very specific. Many out the blame on search engines. Now one could argue all this depends on the content and that online users are looking for an answer not a causal read. But when looking at academic sites with full-text views, research showed views were brief and searched through. The longest average view was in life science students who average 112s before clicking out. I was shocked that stats shows most users only read the first eleven characters of a headline.
Researchers say this is because scanning is natural while reading is unnatural.
Spatial Navigability
How do I know if I want to read more if I can't see what I will be reading?
In nature, information has a physical place, we know how to get to it. Before the web came along, information storage was spatial and used our innate navigation capabilities. I read one article that went as far to say that a book on a shelf works like a visual landmark that can help you remember., storage for your knowledge. The web and digital media lacks such spatial navigability.
Nielsen's research is extensive and it is evident that success lies in the content. When I was working on the problems surrounding reading long texts online I looked into Nielsens research on ebooks. To quote it,
"I really do think we remember less from e-books. This is not something I have formally measured, but just based on both studies we've done looking at reading behavior on tablets and books and reading from regular computers…The bigger the screen, the more people can remember and the smaller, the less they can remember….the most dramatic example is reading from mobile phones. [You] lose almost all context…Human short-term memory is extremely volatile and weak…That's why there's a huge benefit from being able to glance [across a page or two] and see [everything] simultaneously. Even though the eye can only see one thing at a time, it moves so fast that for all practical purposes, it can see [the pages] and can interrelate the material and understand it more…The more you have to expend your minimal brain power to divert it into these other tasks [like search, the less it is] available for learning."
Hypertext Fragmentation
Where am I?
The new reader seems to have been created through our relationship with hypertext. And according to the numbers, hypertext degrades the quality of reader engagement and lowers comprehension. I discussed hypertext fragmentation already, but just to recap the problem, the web is not spatial or navigable and our reading experiences have lost their spatial sense, its just a lot of teleportation. There are so many terms that capture the problem surrounding fragmentation and displacement my favorite being 'Google-beam'.
Content Craze
Is designing for the new reader a good thing?
Like any equation, this problem has two sides. If there is a new reader then there must be an old reader. So far we have gone about this problem with a business mentality, testing solutions via there success with the new reader. Put the important information in the first two paragraphs, keep everything concise and paragraphs short with only one idea, use bigger/shorter/meaningful headings, use bullets and lists, keep everything to the left, and so on. In my eyes information foraging is not a positive thing, and in that light changing content to be foraged condones a problem.
It is safe for me to say that the wonderful world of information is making us less informed. I am being dramatic right? The problems I am looking into has been around for along time now and we continue to work at it by, for lack of a better word, dumbing down the content. There are many delusions about generations, the problem must be you didn't grow up with the internet. The young generation is not actually any better at muli-tasking for example. Studies found that older generations had improved technical literacy while younger generations had decreased creative and critical thinking skills over a seven year period from 2002-2009. It is clear that online reading has caused us to skim and not read and the habit has poured from the virtual right into the physical world. I set out to reverse this by pouring the physical into the virtual.
The screen is eating my brain!
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg recently studied 4,100 men and women ages 20 and 24 for a year and found that a majority of them who constantly use a computer and mobile phones can develop stress, sleeping disorders and depression. Thomee, the lead researcher wrote,
"High quantitative use was a central link between computer use and stress, sleep disturbances, and depression, described by the young adults,…It was easy to spend more time than planned at the computer (e.g., working, gaming, or chatting), and this tended to lead to time pressure, neglect of other activities and personal needs (such as social interaction, sleep, physical activity), as well as bad ergonomics, and mental overload."
The Dynamic Page
I love technology and think we should embrace it, but there is a serious call for change. We rely on the shape of letter and text block, words are visual objects we use for processing. Every block of text is a system designed for the human brain to intake information, and a poor unnatural design can make intake impossible.
My thesis is becoming centered around the idea of the 'dynamic page', finding the old reader in the new by attempting to reduce fragmentation, connecting the virtual to the physical, and applying natural processes back to the screen. My topic is not focused on reading but interaction and engagement in processes that facilitate comprehension.

Welcome to Hugh Laurie Fan, an unofficial website exclusively dedicated to supporting and promoting the career of British actor Hugh Laurie. You will find the latest news, pictures and media. Your input and contributions are always Welcome! ~ The Staff
Our talented and lovely Hugh turns 54 today and all the staff of HLFan want to wish him a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
Hugh is scheduled to play in a Loreal Paris event next Friday, may 17th in Cannes. More info here.
About an hour into my encounter with Hugh Laurie, in a suite at the Dorchester in London, he starts protesting at length about how boring his answers to my questions are. He had been talking – rather interestingly – about his theory that television, rather than film, was the medium through which the US "not just projects its image of itself to the world, but actually decides what its image is. It's America's way of conversing with itself about what it believes to be important."
He has just finished telling me that he doesn't think British TV is as interested in expressing grand ideas about identity and purpose – "I think that's a bit highfalutin for us" – when he suddenly brings himself up short. This is all so boring that he is boring himself, he says. He gestures towards the iPhone on which I'm recording the interview. "If I get any duller," he sighs, "I think your phone might actually go: 'Fuck it, I'm not recording this. Really this application is designed to record things of value. I mean, the assumption was you weren't just going to record a man scratching his arse. Because if that's what you're going to do, I'm quitting. Scramble. Escape.'"
This kind of thing is supposed to be par for the course when you interview Laurie. He famously loathes talking to journalists almost as much as he hates being photographed, and his attitude to being photographed would impress a 19th-century Native American: "I really do believe the camera steals the soul. But that may be because I'm worried about my soul. I don't have much of a soul to begin with, I can't afford to lose much." That said, his aversion to being photographed has not precluded him becoming the "spokesmodel" for L'Oreal's male skincare range. "Proudly so!" he says, explaining he uses the money to fund a variety of charitable projects in Africa and claiming he doesn't really know what being a spokesmodel entails: "I made a commercial and I was photographed, I did a poster once. I'll presumably have to do that again. If you're going to ask me questions about skincare, there's not much I can tell you. Don't rub a cheese grater up and down your cheeks. That would be my advice. Don't dunk your face in engine oil or other caustic substances. I don't know anything about it. They sort of ask you to do this thing and you go: 'You're out of your fucking mind, not in a billion years would I consider such a thing.' Then, as they tell you it's a great deal of money, the thought crosses your mind: 'With that money I could build a school in Senegal.' And then you can't say no. Because if you do say no, what you're saying is that your public pose is more important than people getting a school in Senegal or polio vaccinations in Uganda or whatever. You can't do that. You just can't."
Still, he once compared talking to the press to putting his testicles on a chopping board – and, judging by his past interviews, it almost invariably turns into an exercise in caustic self-deprecation and soul-searching, which journalists tend to take as symptomatic of a deeper malaise. Laurie has struggled with depression in the past, and seems big on depicting himself as a man who feels guilty about his apparently undeserved success, who doesn't much enjoy being famous (something of a problem given his eight-year tenure as the titular star of House, which ended last year but at its peak was the most-watched TV show in the world, distributed to 66 countries and for which he commanded £250,000 an episode, getting him in Guinness World Records as the highest-paid actor ever in a TV drama), for whom life was "a gradually descending mist of confusion and doubt" and whose "version of happiness consists of not being happy".
The thing is, today at least, he does not seem much like that at all. He does react a little suspiciously when I say I like his new album, Didn't It Rain, a follow-up to 2011′s Let Them Talk, on which he once again performs classic blues songs, music he says he has loved since childhood. "Thank you for saying that, I'm very relieved," he begins, before frowning. "Well, if you mean it. You have to say that otherwise it's going to be awkward, isn't it? 'Heard your album, sort of hated it. Anyway, my first question.' It's a difficult way to kick off, I suppose."
Then again he seems genuinely startled by Let Them Talk's success, perhaps with good reason. Actors who parlay their fame into recording careers rarely have as smooth a ride as Laurie seems to have done. Despite a case of nerves in the studio that could be stayed only with "proper and sensible applications of whisky and beta-blockers and picking the right people to be around you – people who, even if they are rolling their eyes and going 'What a wanker', at least have the grace to do it behind your back", Let Them Talk was both well-reviewed and big-selling. He says he didn't read what anybody wrote about it – "it seems to me if you want to be protected from the unpleasant stuff, you can't go just reading the good stuff, that seems wrong" – but he can't have missed the gold albums and the sold-out tours. "I know that it did all right, and I was surprised by it. When people buy a ticket, that I sort of understand, it says my name on it and they've watched the television show, and they think: 'Ah well, if nothing else, we'll see the bloke off the TV.' But buying a record, you don't get that, you don't get the visual. So I was very, very surprised that people were able to make the sort of adjustment. Because, to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I would." He thinks for a moment. "For example, Clive Dunn," he says, a little unexpectedly. "Splendid. Clive Dunn, as I understand it, retired to the south of Spain, where he worked extensively in watercolours. I don't own any of Clive Dunn's watercolours. I loved him in Dad's Army, loved him. But not enough to actually seek out his watercolour work."
For the past 50 years RMS Queen Mary, launched in 1934 and the pride of the Cunard fleet, has been berthed at Long Beach, California. There she caters to tourists seeking a nostalgic whiff of the glory days of the ocean-going liners. Restaurants, bars, hotel accommodation and Anglocentric museum exhibitions (currently on show, Diana: Legacy of a Princess) draw in visitors by the thousands.
On a spring night shortly before Easter, the music room of the Queen Mary is, then, an appropriate location to host the rebirth of Hugh Laurie.
The 53-year-old Englishman is something close to acting royalty. Cambridge Footlights, A Bit of Fry & Laurie, Blackadder, Jeeves and Wooster – they don't come much funnier, or better-loved, than the well-spoken, intelligent comedian, actor and one-time author (his novel, The Gun Seller, was published in 1996).
And Laurie's screen work isn't cherished only on this side of the Atlantic. Beginning in 2004 he starred as the titular doctor in eight seasons of the hit medical drama House, and became a huge star in the US. Indeed, his portrayal of the brilliant but pain-racked, pill-popping and misanthropic diagnostic physician at a teaching hospital was a hit almost everywhere. In 2011 the Guinness Book of Records anointed him the world's most watched leading man on television, tallying 81.8 million viewers in 66 countries. His portrayal of Dr Gregory House won two Golden Globes and was nominated for six Emmys. Little wonder that Laurie was handsomely remunerated: £250,000 per episode.
Odder still for those of us who fondly remember him as Blackadder III's thick Prince Regent, or as PG Wodehouse's bumbling toff Bertie Wooster, Laurie also metamorphosed into a middle-aged object of desire for legions of American fans. But becoming an unexpected heartthrob wasn't Laurie's only remarkable midlife feat of reinvention.
He is now a musician, too. A successful one at that. In 2011 Laurie released his first album. Let Them Talk was a collection of blues standards such as St James Infirmary and John Henry, with Laurie applying a careworn voice, decent piano-playing skills and a lifelong passion for the genre to a set of vintage songs, many of them originating in the Mississippi delta. It sold a million copies worldwide and Laurie and his Copper Bottom Band undertook an international tour in support of it, spending six months on the road in Europe, America, South America and Russia.
Now, exactly one year since Dr House finally put away his stethoscope and walking stick – the series had run its course, and Laurie had had his fill of fronting such a massive TV show – Laurie is launching a second blues album, Didn't It Rain, with a concert aboard the Queen Mary.
For the new album he gave himself a fresh mission statement: 'I have resolved to forge on, deeper into the forest of American music that has enchanted me since I was a small boy.'
But he insists that he is as surprised as anyone that he is being allowed to do this again. Tell him that his debut made him a Top 40 recording artist in 20 different countries worldwide and his eyebrows give a positively Wodehousian waggle. 'Is that what I did? I didn't even know that. Bloody hell. See, I didn't know what releasing a record was like. I didn't know what was supposed to happen. When people say, "You've done 12,000 this week in the Netherlands," I don't know what that means. I felt like we were doing some good live shows, and I was very proud of the record. But I didn't really know what people would make of it. And still don't know what people make of it…'
In front of a small audience of invited guests and lucky fans, Laurie presents songs from Let Them Talk and Didn't It Rain. He is dressed in ruffled peach shirt and naval cap, like a rather louche 1970s sailor. Or, as he jokes, like a character from The Poseidon Adventure. He is backed by a small band, a three-piece horn section and two female backing vocalists. For well over an hour, Laurie plays piano with grimacing gusto, strums acoustic guitar in a blissful reverie, sings with throaty conviction and dances a giddy tango with one of the singers, Gaby Moreno, who's rather like a Guatemalan Edith Piaf.
'This is emotional for me,' he says at one point, explaining that in 1975 a personal hero, the late New Orleans singer and pianist Professor Longhair, played in this very room at a party thrown by Paul McCartney and Wings. The resulting album, Live on the Queen Mary, had a profound impact on the 19-year-old Laurie. 'It changed everything for me.'
And now, here he is, playing the same room, with some stellar musicians, singin' the blues. 'I feel like a Saudi Arabian playboy who's been given the keys to a Ferrari he's had no training in.' He grins. 'But I'm loving it.'
The next morning, Laurie is to be found in a light-filled suite in a beachfront hotel in Santa Monica. Since House finished last year he has, he 'supposes', relocated back to London, although he recorded Didn't It Rain, like its predecessor, in LA. 'The strange thing – and this is one of the advantages of being incredibly shallow and superficial – is that wherever I am, that's sort of home,' he says.
'I get back to Heathrow and within 10 minutes of going along the M4 I feel like I've never left England. I get here and within 10 minutes of going along La Cienega, I feel like I've never been away. But that, as I say, is because I'm very shallow.'
Laurie has just finished a meeting with a man from BBC Radio 2, with whom he's making a series about the various highways and byways travelled by American blues. He also filmed an ITV documentary, Perspectives, about the recording of Didn't It Rain. He faces three whole days of back-to-back interviews with reporters from almost every corner of the globe. If only he had sold fewer units in fewer territories, I tell him in the language of this new business in which he finds himself, he and his wife, Jo (a textiles and fabric designer), might have made it back to London and their three children (aged 19, 22 and 24) in time for the Easter weekend.
'Yeah, I had to go and…' Laurie begins with a rueful smile. 'See, everything brings its own punishment and reward.' He pauses while he pours a cup of coffee, then sits down, frowning. 'That's miserable, isn't it, substituting "units" for "records" and "territories" for "countries". Why, why, why?' he laments, only half-joking. 'Somebody wrote to me the other day, saying I had to write liner [sleeve] notes for the Deluxe Package [version of Didn't It Rain],' he continues. 'I said, "Oh, please, I don't even know what you're talking about. But whatever it is, can we not refer to it as a Deluxe Package?" I don't want to have anything to do with a Deluxe Package.'
Laurie's speaking style can be ponderous, often Eeyore-ishly so. As often as he curls out a wonderfully loquacious paragraph, he also fails to complete sentences. But he seems especially rusty this morning. Perhaps it's the hangover, from both the stress of the first public performance of songs from Didn't It Rain, and from the patently potent Guatemalan rum he was merrily imbibing on stage. '——- hell, that stuff!' he exclaims. 'Halfway through that glass I thought, either I'm not used to rum or I'm actually having a minor stroke here. Delicious, obviously. Not unpleasant as strokes go.' A pause, and a fleeting look of panic as he realises what he has just said. 'That's terrible, don't, don't…' he grimaces, the sentence again hanging unfinished.
I saw Laurie's first public concert, in New Orleans' French Quarter, in March 2011. I saw him at London's Union Chapel a few months later, then at a tiny LA club a few months after that. I spoke with him on all three occasions, and I know how tense he is before and after performances. I ask him now: is there yet sufficient distance from last night's premiere for him to have enjoyed the show? 'No,' he says flatly. 'I woke up about every hour of the night, shuddering at the memory of some stupid thing I said or did, or some clanger I played on the piano. Which I've compressed into a sort of negative Director's Cut.'
'Hugh is always self-deprecating,' says Joe Henry, the American producer, singer, songwriter and blues aficionado who has shepherded both of Laurie's albums. 'That's the way he processes his artistry about anything he's taking on. Because he wants it to be great. That's all he wants.'
Laurie's first exposure to the blues came when he was aged 11 or 12. Willie Dixon's I Can't Quit You Baby 'made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up'. He was hooked. The first album he bought was Muddy Waters's Live (At Mr Kelly's), soon followed by that Professor Longhair Queen Mary recording. He grew up in a middle-class household in Oxford, the Eton-educated youngest of four (his father was a GP, his mother a housewife).
At Cambridge University his passion for music metamorphosed into skilled comic performances – he was a Footlights contemporary of his future professional partner Stephen Fry and his one-time girlfriend Emma Thompson. But even though this was the latter days of punk and the early days of alternative comedy, it was an older, more distant musical form that captivated Laurie.
He acknowledged the surreal oddness – the sacrilege, even – of his taking on the blues in a note on his website before the release of Let Them Talk. 'I was not born in Alabama in the 1890s,' Laurie wrote. 'You may as well know this now. I've never eaten grits, cropped a share, or ridden a boxcar. No gipsy woman said anything to my mother when I was born and there's no hellhound on my trail, as far as I can judge. Let this record show that I am a white, middle-class Englishman, openly trespassing on the music and myth of the American south.' As pre-emptive strikes go against those who might accuse him of dilettantism, it was a good one.
In adulthood, in his first career, Laurie remained musical and impassioned, but only tangentially. He wrote comic songs for him and his friend and collaborator Stephen Fry to perform. In fact, as he tells the audience aboard the Queen Mary, the theme tune to A Bit of Fry & Laurie was Professor Longhair's Mardi Gras in New Orleans. But it was in music that Laurie sought refuge off-screen, playing the piano daily, listening to his old vinyl religiously. Explaining what the blues does for him, he says, 'There is something soothing about explaining away the troubles of the day.' Still, it would take Dr Gregory House's occasional musings on the piano to catalyse Laurie's rebirth as a proper musician.
Conrad Withey, the London-based president of Warner Music Entertainment and a House fan, spotted Laurie's onscreen proficiency on the keys. Learning of Laurie's love of the blues, in 2010 Withey made him an offer he couldn't refuse: the chance to record his own album. Joe Henry (who also assembled Laurie's band) was among the first to experience how much this opportunity meant to Laurie.
'It was clear that Hugh was dedicated to making music that was alive and could stand on its own,' he says of their initial meeting at Henry's LA home. He was not interested in it being a vanity project… And by the way,' Henry adds, 'not a single one of the musicians regarded him as anything other than a great and fellow musician. Nobody thinks of him as this poseur movie star making a record. His devotion and his craft are authentic.' In fact, he says, 'Hugh has a much more broad comprehensive knowledge of historic blues recordings than I do. And I've been listening to that music like a religious zealot since I was 14 or 15.'
Repeat any of that approbation to Laurie and he'd probably implode in mortified gratitude. But what he will admit to is getting supreme satisfaction from playing music. More so than from acting? 'I get much more direct, immediate, sensual pleasure out of doing it,' he says, nodding. 'I mean, it has similarities [to acting] – and sometimes even worse technical aspects to it, where you think, "Oh God, I wanted to do this but I didn't execute it right."'
In that regard, House was the gift that kept on taking: a dream role, but one that came with a price. Playing a character mired in bleakness for eight years couldn't help but hang heavy on Laurie – not least because he has previous experience of depression (he underwent psychotherapy in the mid-1990s) and especially because his family had for the most part stayed in Britain while he was based in LA for nine months each year. 'I didn't really realise that at the time,' he says. 'But it was having an effect. There was something dark and tortured and painful and lonely about that character. And maybe I'm a little bit less of those things now that I'm not representing it every day.'
Laurie has by no means given up on acting. He was due to take the lead in Crossbones, an American drama about pirates, until the filming dates clashed with the touring plans for Didn't It Rain. He is filming Tomorrowland this summer, a dystopian sci-fi epic directed by Brad Bird (The Incredibles) playing a baddie opposite George Clooney. This year will also see him complete work on The Canterville Ghost, a British animation that features Stephen Fry. Later in the year, meanwhile, should see the release of Mr Pip, an adaptation of the best-selling 2006 novel by Lloyd Jones that Laurie shot in Papua New Guinea shortly before filming the last season of House. 'My favourite thing about the shoot,' its director Andrew Adamson remembers, 'was that the [daily] call-sheet said, "Hugh Laurie: own transportation". That's because Hugh canoed to set.'
For all his fame, accomplishments and polymathic talents, Hugh Laurie's got the blues, inside him and around him. No wonder he is, against type and against the odds, rather good at it. 'The physical pleasure of actually making sounds, hearing other people make sounds, responding to the sound they're making – there's just nothing like it,' he sighs. On Didn't It Rain he takes the occasional vocal back seat to the singers Moreno and 'Sista' Jean McClain. 'To sit back at the end of The Weed Smoker's Dream,' he says of the 1930s tune covered on the album, 'and watch Gaby finish that last verse and let that last note tail away…' Laurie beams with pleasure. 'That's exquisite for me. Actually,' he offers, 'I realised last night that my goal might be to be standing in the back, watching it. It's probably more fun doing that than playing it. So maybe that's my dream,' he says, chuckling, 'to do a show but not be in it.'

I decided to make this a weekend project since I got a fair amount of usable footage already and do another one when we get our new UI. You'll probably see me running around on all 4 servers tring to get some more screens of the open world combat though, the 4 Dungeons are pretty much covered already.
What I'm planning to make is a small trailer 30-60sec with a fast run through of all features. If you have any ideas, places you think I need to visit, please share.
This is what I already though of so far
- + A run though all the classes
+ Show off mounts
+ Fights vs Huge Bosses
+ A few dungeon shots with action
+ Playing in a party
+ Open World PvP
+ Make it obvious that it's cross-platform
+ Subtly show off the huge open world
What should I say in it as well?
"Available for FREE now!" showing a "Google Store" logo and mentioning "iOS" coming soon?
Post away, I'll consider any ideas

Apology DeniedSorry; I say it too much. A true cuss on my tongue. Sorry for the pains I enhance, the complaints I spew, the violence I cause, the guilt I may bring. Sorry for the drama I start, the prodding I do, the hypocrisy I doubt, the embarrassment I am. Sorry for the nuisance I've become, the whore of my past, the overly attached lover that stays, the good that left me. Sorry for being a coward, for being submissive, for holding back, for accepting what is, was, and will be. I can't stop, and I don't know if I will. Sorry isn't enough.
I Think I'm Pretty SpecialHi, my name... well, my alias is Reitanna Seishin. i have a lump in my throat right now because of some comments i've recieved. i don't want to cry because my makeup will irritate my eyes, but i think it'll happen anyway. it's mother's day, and for those of you who know me understand why it REALLY affects me.i recently posted a pen sketch that was anti-bullying... and i got a comment that, at the end, said "You are not special. You just think you are." this is exactly what i'm talking about. nothing hurts me more than someone accusing me that i think highly of myself, because i'm the second person in the world i hate the most.shit, i star

Six Word Story: GoneI don't want to lose you.
The Artificial FaceThe Artificial FaceInside the magazine you will see, very young attractive males and females. Each of them telling you, you are not good enough. They stand there and mock you with those eyes, those naked bodies. They tell you the horrible secrets that leak from their marble mouths. You are not hot, you are not thin, you are not muscular, you are not perfect like we are. We are the elite, everyone loves us and you will never be like us because you are so damned ugly.They're liars, every one of those people are nothing but liars. Please don't hate them for what they are. They're sad enough to stoop so low. So what is the t
Filofobia Filofobia de una mente destruidaLo mismo y sin sentido. Buscando sin buscar, apreciando sin apreciar, amando sin poder amar, llorando sin tener lágrimas, anhelando sin poder imaginar, sintiendo sin tener los sentimientos necesarios. He visto a esta persona ¿Siento algo por él? No, yo sé que siento nada, es solo que…. Me aferro a su presencia porque sé que no surgirá algo más fuerte que una amistad; No, no es amor, ni siquiera sé si es un sentimiento.¡NO QUIERO! Tengo miedo, estoy asustada de tu piel. Busco defectos donde no los hay, hurgo en tus poros para encontrar uno solo y cuando al fin lo encuentro no estoy segura si es ve

Interprequy - The Confidence BreakerI sit, stare, silence my superior. The hand that fed knowledge is now the hand of oppression, judgement. The slim, slender and tender finger runs a blemishing trail over my glory.Strike me with suppression.The finger weighs the sword of cold blood. A strike. X marks the spot of error. Strike. X marks the spot of failure, but not of treasure. Strike. My invisible self burns. Why do you continue the torture? Strike. The hand that fed contradicts itself.Mark me with a letter, a number.The sword carves into the pure white. Blood blemishes its purity. A symbol of failure is born from the hellish tip. A symbol, a letter, a number defines me

Just that.I wish I could write something special.Something like so many other peoples out there.Something which is touching and fascinating.I wish I could write something that people don't forget.I want to touch their hearts and bring them to think about everything.Their lifes and behaviors, their deepest secrets and most difficult decisions. Just something that someone wants to read.Just that.
CambiosA veces es duro aceptar que las cosas cambian, que lastiman, que duelen y sangran. Con el tiempo, te das cuenta de que la realidad es otra,quedas expuesto y desnudo ante ella… te pega de lleno en la cara, te abre los ojos, te quita la venda.Sin embargo, uno puede elegir entre percatarse de lo que sucede o cubrirse los ojos de nuevo…. ¿Tú que eliges?
Interprequy - Dragon of FleshThere you are: pure, true. You have hatched through a soft crimson egg and rode the red sea through the scarlet gates. You grow and bare your teeth, your crown of hair. You spout your wings and become free.It is until other dragons with blackened hearts come to you, that you lose your wings. You fall for their deceit. Pressure hones in on your pride, the gift of fire is remorselessly ripped from your heart. Nothing but smoke leaves your lungs. Like broken factory works, your insides breakdown.Each breath, you unleash the cancerous poison to those who flew by you, laughed and breathed fire. Now, they look down from the limitless sky, eyes
Imaginary Friend Ch. 1I gripped my dress in sadness as I pressed my back up against a lone tree, sliding down just as my tears slid down my face. It was like any other day at the orphanage I remember it clearly, but this was the day that things changed many years ago. Back then, I didn't even know how to smile anymore. Adults would try to cheer me up, but none of it worked. Since my mom had died of illness when I was only six, I didn't know how to smile, I didn't know how to laugh. I was only six, and my life felt like it was already coming to a close.I cried, my back against the tree, facing the warmth of the sun. I heard a ruffling sound against the tall grass
Rainy Day VigilIt's one of those days outside. Murky and foggy and gray, the kind of day that makes you want to stay inside and read a good book. It's one of those days where you can't decide if it's raining or not. You look out the window and squint your eyes and you swear you can see mist but then you doubt yourself, try to look away and then look back as if it will help your vision, help you see more clearly. Is there rain, or isn't there? And as I sat here, analyzing the moist ground and seeing the thick, white overcast outside, I realized that misty days are a lot like faith.Because with faith, sometimes it's hard

City Council approves alcohol sales at balloon festival
By Penny Rathbun
The Celina city council approved the purchase of the old bank building now being used as City Hall and the First United Methodist Church building on Colorado Street at Monday's regular meeting.
The council also approved the issuance of several general obligation refunding bonds to pay for the two real estate purchases.
The council also approved a variance request from Eddie Bell, owner of Papa Gallo's restaurant to sell alcohol during the Celina Balloon Festival in October. Councilwoman Carmen Roberts said she liked the idea.
Councilman Wayne Nabors said he would never vote for the sale of alcohol at an event.
The council approved the sale of alcohol at the balloon festival with a three-one vote. Nabors cast the only negative vote. Council members Sean Terry and Larry Berg were absent.
The council unanimously approved a construction plat by Light Farms for phase I of the subdivision to be built on about 74 acres east of the Dallas North Tollway and north of Light Farms Way in Collin County.
Foreman introduced three new employees at the work session prior to the meeting. They are planning technician Ben Rodriguez, wastewater supervisor Ector Acguello and code enforcement officer Gerry Magnuson.
