Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 Manual
The initial Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 manual that came with your new Lenovo computer is available online to download for free. The manual, as most manuals are, has a bunch information regarding just about every aspect of your computer including features, specs, warranty info and more. Reading the Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 manual is the very best way to learn about your computer, and computers in general.
Almost all computer manuals that are online are downloaded as pdf files. These files are able to be read with Adobe Acrobat as well as some other kinds of software that may be available. When you download the pdf file you will be able to read your Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 manual anytime on your computer monitor, or another computer, or even print it out and keep a hard copy around when you may have a need for it.
Other than giving you information about your Lenovo computer, your Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 manual may teach you how to set up your computer and install basic equipment such as a mouse or hook up your monitor. Some manuals will go into more detail and may give you information on how to replace a video card, hard drive or even replace the memory.
Your manual may also include a listing of available ports and connections on the back and front of your PC or laptop. Some connections you may never have heard of or know what they do but may be needed for certain hookups. For instance, if you have to purchase a new monitor, or add an extra external monitor to your laptop, are you sure on what type of connections are available to you?
It is always a great idea to keep the Lenovo ThinkPad SL410 manual close to your computer so you can have access to it anytime you need to.

Roam Artisan Burgers
The Battle of the Marina Burger Joints
With Roam, Umami, and Super Duper slinging patties within blocks of each other in the Marina-Cow Hollow megahood, the city's gourmet burger ghetto is officially defined. We took one comparable burger from each and sized them up.
The State of Ground Meat: SF's Burger Onslaught, Addressed
Burger Mania
15 Romolo lets you eat its burger "yo mama style" with peanut butter and bacon. Heirloom Cafe tops its off-menu beauty with pungent Epoisses cheese. Chef Bruce Hill hand-designed a burger weight to evenly cook the patties at Bix. Hayes Valley's Straw serves its ground beef mounded on a donut. As any of these restaurants will tell you, when it comes to surviving the stiff burger competition in SF, you've gotta have an angle.
The Best Burger in SF? It's Personal
I've been thinking about burgers again. It's been a while since we did our big Burger Bonanza, which focused on what Tablehopper once called "white-napkin burgers" (i.e. burgers from more upscale restaurants rather than burger joint burgers). I swore I'd never look an all-beef patty in the face again, but I'm back on the horse just in time for some key burger joint openings.

The practical choice
Campaign 2008
Regardless of how you feel about Pat Robertson, you have to appreciate his blunt prioritization: "To me," he said in his endorsement of Rudy Giuliani for president, "the overriding issue before the American people is the defense of our population from the blood lust of Islamic terrorists. Our second goal should be the control of massive government waste and crushing federal deficits."
Left off the list, among competing priorities for Christians, was stopping the practice of murdering the unborn. Giuliani is, though he downplays it as the Republican primaries near, in favor of allowing the practice. How inconvenient.
Unless, that is, one believes with Robertson that protecting our hides and pocketbooks is more important than protecting defenseless innocents. I wonder, however, if those are even really his priorities, or if they are simply the best way to dress up a fundamental fact driving many Christians to the Giuliani camp, which is that he is beginning to represent the best hope of defeating Hillary Clinton. I'm hard-pressed to think of any subject more likely to send sweet little church ladies into a fit of profanity than that woman.
Perhaps this is uncharitable to Pat Robertson, though I'm not sure which casts him in a more damning light: elevating self-protection and tax rates above protecting the unborn, or simply listing the selling points of the guy he's backing, not because of the man's principles, but because he embodies the best chance of beating a despised opponent and maintaining a venal party's grip on executive power.
This being politics, of course, we are urged to be practical -- the only perfect candidate is Jesus, after all, and when he finally returns there ain't going to be no election. What's more, there's only so much a pro-life president can do, anyway. Back the candidate with the best chance of beating the bad guys, is the implicit message, though after numerous sex scandals, a pernicious addiction to federal earmarks, and failure to enact meaningful reform in virtually any policy area, I'm beginning to wonder if the party evangelicals have backed for years is any better than the party we routinely demonize. It's not so clear to me, in other words, that it's pragmatic to remain loyal to a band of partisans who make a mockery of Christ every time they refer to themselves as Christians.
What's more, why all this concern with practicality? It's always fascinating to hear people who claim to believe in the parting of the Red Sea, the feeding of the 5,000, and the Resurrection, among other natural impossibilities, wax eloquent about the imperative of practicality whenever elections roll around. If Christians have some sort of mandate to be active in the public arena, then at the very least it seems we ought to bring Christ along with us. Where in the Gospels are we called to stop government waste? How does that squeeze out protecting the voiceless? Are we called to obsess over our own survival? Are we called to embrace evil because it is lesser? What pathetic witnesses we make, when begin calculating electability quotients, and lending our names to those who oppose our fundamental beliefs, out of a desire for protection.
But perhaps I'm being impractical. We wouldn't want to stand on principles only to see a heathen elected, would we? Or worse yet, someone who might raise our taxes? Standing on principle might mean the Muslims get us. We'd be martyred, for crying out loud, and all because we couldn't compromise a little. Heaven forbid, and let the unborn fend for themselves.

No. 22/15 Baylor Takes Series Opener With 8-2 Victory
The Red Raiders dropped the series opener at Baylor, 8-2, Thursday evening.
May 2, 2013
WACO, Texas - No. 22/15 Baylor took advantage of a pair of Texas Tech errors in the first to take a three-run lead and kept the offense going from there en route to an 8-2 series-opening victory Thursday evening at Getterman Stadium.
Five of Baylor's (38-13; 9-6) eight runs stemmed from Tech miscues as the Red Raiders (29-25; 3-13) finished with three errors, including two in the opening inning that led to three runs for the Lady Bears.
"We didn't make plays early and that gave Baylor an early lead and you can't win many games doing that," Tech head coach Shanon Hays said. "We had a chance to get back in the game early, but we left too many runners on base and couldn't find the key hit when we needed it. This is a long series and we'll try to even it up tomorrow evening."
Tech committed errors on two of the first four batters starter Cara Custer faced, bringing in one run before Linsey Hays connected on a two-run double down the left-field line that broke the game open early for Baylor.
Clare Hosack and Robin Landrith kept the pressure on an inning later with a double and RBI single to lead off the second. Baylor loaded the bases minutes later and brought another run across with a bases-loaded walk to Kaitlyn Thumann.
The Lady Bears plated two more runs in the fourth thanks to a Sarah Smith RBI double and a Jordan Strickland sacrifice fly. Holly Holl also added a RBI single in the fifth as part of a 2-for-3 performance.
In the circle, Whitney Canion (22-6) worked around seven walks with 12 strikeouts as the left-hander battled out of jams all night. She limited Tech to just five hits in six innings before Courtney Repka came on to toss a scoreless seventh.
The Red Raiders stranded 10 runners on base, including the bases loaded in the second. Tech put a pair of runners on in both the first and fourth innings as well before Canion ended both innings via strikeout.
Tech's only two runs came in the fifth off a bases-loaded, two-out single from Samantha Camello, who finished 2-for-3 at the plate. She also provided Tech's first hit in the game with a single in the second.
Brittany Talley relieved Custer (13-15) early in the second inning and proceeded to pitch four full innings where she allowed four runs, two of which were earned, off seven hits and one walk. Custer only allowed one earned run off three hits in her one inning pitched.
The two teams will continue the series with a 6:30 p.m. first pitch Friday evening at Getterman Stadium.

It's odd that a film completely driven by movie stars is being advertised with a poster that features blank white silhouettes where those movie stars should be. Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz are the stars in this case, bringing nothing but a generic all-purpose movie star quality to the proceedings in Knight and Day. Maybe that poster is just a tip-off -- a visual reminder that Knight and Day is a cookie cutter action-comedy, and that anyone with the right amount of box office pull could fill these blank roles.
Diaz is June Havens, Romantic Interest. There's no characterization for Havens other than being beautiful and a little clumsy ("clumsy" being the most popular studio shorthand for making her relatable to women everywhere). She twice bumps into Roy Miller, played by Cruise (also a non-character, Super Spy), while boarding a plane, and ends up having a lengthy conversation with herself in the plane's bathroom mirror over whether or not she should make out with him (because, hey, he's Tom Cruise). While this is going on, Miller is killing everyone on the plane with Ethan Hunt-style lethal precision. It's a nice intercutting of sweet and sour, and possibly the last time the movie feels legitimately dangerous.
Soon, Havens is being targeted by government operatives who are chasing rogue agent Miller, and Miller keeps swooping in at the eleventh hour, drugging Havens (in what feels like an unintentional running gag), and moving her along to the next big international location so that something can explode. They careen through explosion after explosion, bullets hitting every single object around them but them, all in the name of saving a battery prototype called Zephyr from falling into the wrong hands (the wrong hands belonging to a directionless Peter Sarsgaard).
The film could stand to be more dangerous. Knight and Day many times makes G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra look like United 93. Diaz stands in a hail of machine gun fire, squealing, for what feels like twenty seconds, and trots away unscathed. A bullet directly to the head through Cruise's driver's side windshield just evaporates upon shattering the glass. Cars flip over cars with such ease and regularity, you'd suspect they're made out of nothing but tin foil and gasoline. Even in the Bond flicks, Bond can get hurt. In Knight and Day, we're watching a cartoon version of what somebody thinks an action movie looks like.
Cruise has rarely been as unambitious as he is here. His hair is in place, his Ray-Bans are on, and he can smile. It's probably the same look he wore to the bank to deposit his Knight and Day paycheck. My suspicion is that he's still in career reconstruction mode, hoping that by falling back on his own brand of effortless charm, audiences will love him all over again. It's a good idea, but the wrong project to carry out that mission. Knight and Day at its best is inoffensively cute, but so disposable it's impossible to see anyone mustering any strong feelings of love for it.
That forgettable plastic quality of Knight and Day unfortunately means it's a perfect fit for this summer's line-up of disappointing wannabe blockbusters. It's a calculated, artificial formula for box office success barely disguised as a story. It's got huge stars, exotic locales, a smidgen of romance, and something blows up every fifteen minutes. That's the kind of thing that will keep you diverted enough while the lights are low, but the minute the credits roll you'll be thinking more about why the movie is called Knight and Day (the Knight part is clumsily explained; the Day part isn't) than about the movie itself. A more fun activity than watching Knight and Day might be drawing your own favorite stars into the empty shapes on the poster. Clooney and Aniston, perhaps? Pitt and Hudson? Anybody, really. The movie would be exactly the same.

While I think it gives more boom to the explosions I can't say I hear dialogue any more clearly.
If your shop or amazon allows no hassle returns, I'd try a few. But I fear the right answer is any receiver even if you just go stereo.
We're about to purchase a Panasonic TC-P60ST60 plasma TV, and we need a recommendation for a good soundbar to go along with it. With our present speaker system we have great difficulty hearing movie dialogue clearly. We don't want a multi-speaker surround-sound system--rather, just a high-quality soundbar. What would be a good soundbar to purchase for the specific TV we are purchasing? Thank you.

The new exhibit set to open Friday, March 7 at the Garden City Community College's Mercer Gallery features the work of Brian Hutchinson, a Fort Hays State University Art & Design instructor specializing in printmaking. The exhibit runs through Wednesday, April 2.
Hutchinson will be in the house on March 7 to give a hands-on workshop from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and be in attendance for the artist's reception scheduled from 12 noon to 1 p.m. in the gallery on the same day.
The show consists of 22 pieces centered on the violent and self-destructive nature of humanity.
"I am most enthralled with art that stimulates me in a visceral, emotional, and physically effective way," said Hutchinson. "I am interested in the nervous energy that courses through the threatened mind and how to create power in a work of art through its ability to access the nervous system. It urges me to consider the aesthetic that highlights the paradoxical balance of human survival."
Hutchinson earned both a bachelors and master's degree in fine art from FHSU. Prior to teaching at the college, he was an art instructor at USD 269 in Palco, USD 226 in Meade, and USD 327 in Ellsworth. He has most recently exhibited in McPherson College's Friendship Gallery, the Southern Graphics Council International Members Portfolio Exchange in New Orleans, LA, and at the Open Door/Closed Door Invitational Exhibit in Hays.
The Mercer Gallery is open Monday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Duke Street-backed Marlin, a buyer of consumer debt that specialises in litigation-based recovery, has secured an £80m three-year syndicated revolving senior credit facility from RBS and Investec.
This new senior line will bolster Marlin's existing £60m funding and marks the beginning of a partnership with RBS, while strengthening its existing relationship with Investec.
"In the last 12 months our unique collection capabilities have allowed us to invest close to £100m profitably in UK consumer non-performing loans, representing 10 per cent of the market," Marlin CEO Ken Stannard said in a statement.
"The reduced cost of funds and greater capacity that this new facility brings will further strengthen our competitive position for growth over at least the next three years."
Duke Street bought a 58 per cent stake in Marlin in April 2010.
The company chases "litigation quality" debt in the high-balance segment of the market, reclaiming money through lawsuits.

Why? Kid did nothing in college. Is he gonna ride his 5-star high school rating into the NFL?
Source: Bryce Brown of Kansas State Wildcats leaves school, may enter draft - ESPN
R.I.P "Gibbons" 4/3/2012
R.I.P RollsRoyce 4/12/2012
good. screw K-state.
Who? Never heard of him...
Cue Iowa_Wildcat to defend K State.
"The greatest risk in life is not taking one"
I've heard the name, but what?
"Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
WTF? He might get drafted but what makes him think he can't better his stock?
This is very important:
2014-15 KenPom AdjO (rating)
116.3 (11)
2015-16 KenPom AdjO (rating
120.7 (3)
I've got him right behind Bo Williams on the draft board.
Maybe the NFL will recognize that his QB took away a lot of yards, touchdowns and carries from him (haha). I would be surprised if he was even invited to the combine.
This should be the cherry on top of his epic fail of a post HS football career. He will be lucky to get an invite to an NFL camp as an UDFA.
Maybe he did because he was going to flunk out.
Now thats some bad advice from his "advisor".
Is his brother leaving too?
Haha. This is almost his only option since he has burned all his bridges in college. Depending on how in-shape he is he may get a shot to get signed after the draft. No one is going to take a chance on this guy in the draft even if he runs a 4.4 at his pro day because of his off the field issues and considering he played hardly at all in college (did he play a down in college?).

I don't know what you have seen to make you think he would get a shot at the NFL at all. Last I checked 3rd string running back at K-State was not an automatic qualifier for NFL teams.
This dude seems like a first class dumb **** with all his college drama.
Did he even play last year? Seems they had that other guy get the bulk of their carries.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
This the same kid that initially went to Tennessee? At any rate I'm more interested in how our d-line matches up with their o-line before I worry about who's running the ball for them.

How does a defense give up 768 total yards??
I don't know what is more embarrassing, KU's defense or the fact GT made shirts about it.
OR that this is a duplicate thread....

Letters: city priorities, business burdens, transit, FAA follies
San Diego budget
In response to "Sanders to propose deep cuts to parks, libraries" (In Depth, April 14): It is unconscionable that San Diego has a $26.8 million bridge from Petco Park to the convention center, but we can't keep open the libraries, the recreation centers, the swimming pools and the fire pits. We can't fix the roads, but we want to pay for a football stadium. There are many other examples of waste, fiscal abuse and bad decisions. We call this city "America's Finest"? Think again – it is a disgrace. -- Gillian Ackland, La Jolla
As I read the April 14 editorial "Another ugly budget for San Diego," I am left wondering whether our city has a problem with priorities. We can find $185 million to build a new downtown public library, and now we will spend $29.6 million to put a fresh face on the Embarcadero ("Embarcadero makeover approved," April 14), but somehow we cannot find the money to provide basic services to our citizenry.
I can see the argument that improving the Embarcadero will bring more tourists and their money into the city, but I have trouble believing that will be the case with the new downtown library. The problem is not that we don't have the money, but rather that we are unwilling to spend it on anything as mundane as addressing our budget deficit. -- Douglas Pence, San Diego
Heavy burden on small businesses
In response to "Nearly 40% of workers lack paid sick leave" (Business, April 14): Our representatives in Sacramento leave no stone unturned in their unrelenting efforts to destroy small businesses in California. Businesses are leaving the state due to heavy-handed burdens leavened by our legislators, and they cannot wait to add to the pile.
Nine employees at $15 per hour with five paid sick days per year adds $5,400 to the employer's bottom line. Our representatives have zero concern for the owner who is struggling to survive in this difficult business climate. They should be looking to reduce the restrictions on business, not add to them. -- Ronald Mears, Alpine
Education is not an expendable area
In response to Victor Tallarida Sr. (Letters, April 14): California does not spend more per student than most. In fact, the opposite is true. California is 47th in the nation in the amount spent per student and this was before the midyear budget cuts. According to Education Week, "adjusted for cost of living, California spends $7,571 per student, compared to $9,963 per student nationally."
California needs to start putting education of its future generation as a higher priority instead of an expendable area of the budget where further cuts can be made.
Why do we need a downtown library when we can't be bothered to spend the money to teach children to read? -- Liz Shopes, Del Mar
Mass transit needs more support
Public transit in San Diego County is "riding high" (Local, April 12) and state Sen. Christine Kehoe, D-San Diego, has introduced a bill that "would require public transit projects and local road improvements to be made before large highway projects go forward" (Local Reports, April 13). The chief opponent? The San Diego Association of Governments.
At SANDAG's March 31 meeting, I stated my support for mass transit in the public comment portion, as did Duncan McFetridge. County Supervisor Ron Roberts' rebuttal included a remark that I wouldn't want to take my family on mass transit because people who ride use bad language and are not ones I would want to be around.
State legislators and SANDAG need to hear from the public. Hopefully, more of us have an inclusive idea that mass transit helps us all, instead of a good-guy-vs.-bad-guy mentality. -- Cheryl Martin Ede, San Diego

If You Build it They Will Come
What you do in the fall will help make your spring and summer flower dreams come true, so get those kids off to their first day of school and get to work in your yard. Fall is a critical time to clean up the garden. This way you'll have fewer pests spending the winter huddling under piles of debris and less chance of disease spreading from old plants. Pick up fallen branches, pots and rubble you've been eying all summer saying to yourself, "I'll pick that up when I'm good and ready or, maybe in the fall." Fall is here. Pick it up so snails, slugs, insects and fungal spores find a new skate park to hang out at and use swear words. Here are some other fall chores that your garden will thank you for later:
• Pull up dying annuals, weeds and vegetables. Rake up leaves and add all of this to your compost pile.
• Walk around your yard and look for diseased plants; white powdery mildew, orange rust or black spot. Pull out diseased plants or if you must keep them, prune them back hard, aiming to give them better air circulation and more sunlight. Toss all parts into the garbage, not your compost pile which may not be hot enough to handle those evil spores. Rake the area around infected plants and toss infected debris into the rubbish as well.
• Rake lawns and toss the leaves into your compost pile or into your flowerbeds. Or, mow them down and scatter them on your lawn as a slow release fertilizer. Make sure to lightly scatter only a very thin layer of leaves there. Too much can harm the grass. Please, please, please, stop putting leaves in plastic bags and sending them to our overcrowded landfills. Whoever came up with that idea should be so fired! Plastic?
• Once your yard is raked and cleaned up, add a 2 or 3-inch layer of compost to your flowerbeds, and then add a 2-inch layer of mulch on top of that. This way, the millions of soil organisms underground will keep amending your soil all winter while you don't do a thing but sit indoors at your window sipping hot chocolate, dreaming about how next summer's tomato plants will surpass your evil twin sister's homegrown tomatoes. (She's not even a bona-fide gardener!) Not that you're bitter . . .
• Plant 'cover crops' to naturally add nutrients to your soil and make your winter garden look healthy and busy. Especially plant these where you'll be growing your spring and summer vegetable garden.
• In colder climates, dig up tender summer bulbs and store them in a bag of wood shavings or peat moss in the garage for the winter.
• Add new grass seed to bare patches of lawn. Or, get rid of that whiny lawn and plant groundcovers now or plant an "eco-lawn" from www.wildflowerfarm.com. See Chapter 21 to learn how to 'sheet mulch' for an economical and ecological way to remove your lawn.
• In warmer climates, you can divide most spring and summer blooming perennials now. In colder climates (zones 3,4,5) wait till early spring.
• Plant spring flowering bulbs and garlic.
• If you live above zones 6 or 7, you probably have a cool-season grass so you can fertilize your lawn in the fall and the spring with an organic fertilizer high in nitrogen. (Warm season grasses growing in warmer climates will need to be fertilized only in the spring and a few weeks later.) You can also fertilize with sifted compost instead of a store bought fertilizer; spread evenly over the lawn just before rain is expected. Mow the grass a week after you fertilize, if the weather is dry. Rake the nitrogen-rich clippings around your lawn and walk away.
• Rose growers in zones 4 and 5 should protect their roses by tying pruned canes together and building a one-foot tall cone of soil around each rosebush and holding it together with a mesh hardware cloth. Because I have grown to be a climate wimp living in sunny California, I haven't done this but my Vermont rosarian pals swear by it. Check with your local nursery if you live in area that goes below 15 degrees Fahrenheit for extended periods of time.
• Rinse garden tools in a solution of one part bleach to three parts water. Then coat them lightly with oil so they don't rust. You can also wipe them in a bucket of oiled sand that you keep in your shed, and then keep them in the shed. Don't leave them outdoors next to your putrefying garden gloves. Wash and dry putrefied garden gloves and put them in the shed as well.
For specific fall garden questions in your 'hood, contact your local Master Gardeners. You can find my fellow garden geeks at the American Horticultural Society's website at www.ahs.org There you can type in your zip code to find the local Master Gardening group.
Now get out there and get dirty!

A Stevensville bus company that wants to provide rides for Bakken Oil Field workers didn't get enough reservations for its first scheduled trip Sunday.
Maybe April Fools Day was bad timing, said R and R Stagelines, Kim Lawrence. But Lawrence said it's no joke.
She said R and R will still provide rides at some point. It's trying to get as many commuters as possible to break even.
R and R's taken newspaper ads out in Helena, Butte, Bozeman and Billings. The bus would leave Lolo on Sundays for Sidney and Williston,North Dakota and come back on Monday.
It would make stops in Rocker, near Butte, Three Forks, Belgrade , Billings and Glendive.

Re: The Root of all Evil/Trobule With Atheism
I'm just sorry, buddy, but we are just as bound to the "limitations" of the natural world as anything else, given the fact that we are complete products of it. It's probably all any of can ever know, so this continued appeal to it's "limitations" is irrelevant.
Finally, yes, I do say "I don't know" (sans the "yet") because it's an honest answer. I don't know--and neither do you. You have people who are way smarter than you or I working day and night on the problem and they don't know. Yet you and your kind continue to bypass (perhaps even insult) the process which the astrophysicists take and use superficial rhetoric and circular arguments to posit beings which need not be posited. Say what you will, but yours is a process which is lazy by comparison.
No, I choose to say, "I don't know how it happened, but I based on what I can know, I believe that there are signs of creation, purpose and meaning in our existence. Thus I believe in God. I don't claim to know what God is, how God created the universe, or any of that... but I can see the limitations of my material understanding and believe there is something beyond this world."
Or in otherwords, you're saying "God did it." Nothing was taken out of context here. That is what you are saying.
"Justifiably unique" is a non sequitor. It's an arbitrary concept defined by you alone, based purely upon your assumptions on the limitations (or lack thereof) of naturalism.
Though the term itself is unique to me, it is justifiable. It certainly isn't a non sequitor or arbitrary. It is just another way of saying yours is a argument which has problems with infinite regression and equal plausibility. And it does.
No, you're wrong. The process of scientific inquiry does not need theology, but its implications sure do. If they didn't, folks like Dawkins wouldn't be writing books about them.
Man, have you even read The God Delusion?
Nor does theology. The fundamental concepts that run through all religions are the same now as they were thousands of years ago.
It's clear that since The Enlightenment (and consequence Age of Science) and the rise of secular governments that nearly every supplemental aspect (and some fundamental claims) of modern theology has changed. And those which have not (with respect to the theory of evolution), you or I would call it unfortunate. Nevertheless, it is evident that science has produced many conflicts which have directly come in conflict with theology--and here is the kicker, science was always right.
Again, this is what you newfangled liberal types do. Just pretend that your vague conception of god wasn't essentially a hijacked albeit more modern version of a god that was once was and still is for most people; a god which actively actively kept tabs or your earthly affairs, listened to prayers, and rewarded goodness in the hereafter--that is the god in which historic Westerners believed. They also believed, as a
concept, that they were created by god in his image. The theory of Evolution flat refuted that claim, and that's why
up to this day
there are folks who still attack it, that's why in our religious country, far too many people do not believe in the theory it all. Creationism is a fundamental concept of Christianity and science has directly spat in it's face.
Faith is not a fact claim about the precise process by which we came into existence, it's belief in purpose and meaning in our world that lies beyond the material self.
However you (re)define faith, it's irrelevant. The question of whether not a belief is justifiable is the question at hand, and the position of faith alone does not a justifiable belief make.
Well duh. But that doesn't change the concept of the soul. Again, you are not the nervous system. You are the user. The nervous system may become unusable, but you are still you. Your spirit remains without an worldly avatar. This seemingly amazing information you're presenting isn't anything spectacular. When you keel over dead, you can't use your nervous system. We can see that when someone dies, they stop acting like they used to. Soul is belief that the self transcends its material vessel, and the advances in cognitive neurology haven't done anything to undermine that concept.
Mike, you have to realize that whatever caused you to say "duh" is part of the problem. The soul which you define is only obvious because of the age which we live. The traditional soul, like the traditional god, was a lot less metaphorical and a lot more material than any one would believe today. Again, only because of the rise of science do conceptions of god and the soul become smaller and more distant.
Further, your self that transcends self is on it's face absurd. You are the very much space you occupy. (Of course, you could be speaking metaphorically, in which case, I rest my case.)
So if we found a naturalistic cause, we would be showing that the universe is indeed self-causing. If it is self-causing, it is also infinite. If it is infinite, it is self-perpetuating.
You propose no solution to this fallacy because your god is also self-causing, infinite, and self-perpetuating. The only difference is that you've rhterorically exempted it from it because "hey, man, it's God." Now you know why they call your argument circular.
Until that happens though, your belief in unlimited bounds of naturalism will continue to be every bit as faith-based as my belief in God.
No. My belief (not in the "unlimited bounds of naturalism" as I've say many, many times before) is better--yes, better--than yours because I base mine on evidence, not simply faith. Better.

Out on the lawn, 74 strangers sat eating and drinking. Others were using the bathroom. Still others were lined up on the dock, waiting for a free ride in his seaplane.

On Friday, nine Winemaker Dinners were held all over the area, pairing state winemakers and local chefs at $250 a plate.
"Children's is a big part of my family," Pisco told me, declining to elaborate. I get it.
Chef David Varley of RN74 was working away in his spacious kitchen, and serving outside were winemakers Chris Gorman(Gorman Winery), Mark Ryan (Mark Ryan Winery) and Trey Busch (Sleight of Hand Cellars). Their last memorable union was at Queensryche's theatrical production of "Operation Mind Game," playing jurors.
And — wait a second — there was vodka from Glass Distillery owner Ian MacNeil, who quickly pointed out that his vodka is made from Northwest sauvignon and chardonnay grapes. He and Ryan told me to check in on their new project: brandy. It's going to take 10 years, so don't rinse out your snifter just yet.
A few miles away, uber-developer Craig Kinzer and his wife, Danna, opened their Lake Sammamish spread with wines brought by Bryan Keay from Sparkman Cellars, Chris Peterson of Avennia and Todd Alexanderof Force Majeure. In the kitchen was Chef Steven Snook of Salish Lodge & Spa.
"Family, good livin' and damned fine wine," Keay said, repeating the winery's slogan. "That's our order of priority."
Back in the kitchen, Snook told me of training under the fiery and foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay of "Hell's Kitchen" fame.
"You'd get dragged into the wine cooler and get the rollicking of your life," he said. "Later on, he'd take you back into the wine cooler and build you back up.
"He was great at shouting at people."
White night
One of the weirder walks over the weekend was along Seattle's waterfront Sunday night, when Hempfest was letting out and Soiree Blanc was starting up.
Stoners in shorts and socialites in white crowded the sidewalk until they reached Pier 63, where the crisp broke away from the baked and gathered for a dinner they had brought — and set up — themselves. Everything white.
The event, in its second year, was organizer Steven Petersen's response to not being able to find the local version of Diner en Blanc, which started in Paris, has spread all over the world — and is by invitation only.
"I did this because I couldn't find them!" Petersen said.
Soiree Blanc is a fashionable flash mob. Petersen, a Realtor, didn't choose the location until 2 p.m. (runners-up: Gas Works Park and the lawn outside the Museum of History & Industry), then posted it on the event's Facebook two hours later.
By 5:45, the pier was covered. A few groups set up tables as long as fallen redwoods and still others, like Kim Brotherton and Donna Pacanovsky, sat at tables for two. There were chandeliers and Champagne and china. All white.
One group set up a living room, with couches, tables and a silk plant.
"We brought the whole nine yards," Richard Skogerson told me from his club chair.
"Did you bring your Porta-Potty, too?" cracked his wife, Melinda. "That would have been helpful."
Perched in the center, playing guitar was Enrique Henao — a friend of Shakira, who happened to be in town. Oh my.
"There's a rumor she might come," Petersen whispered. "But she will be introduced as Isabella." (She didn't show, but met Henao at a later gig.)
A Microsoft executive assistant who would go only by Pamela wore a white-feather headpiece and a white-feather boa and brought only-white food: Cheese and crackers. Coconut cake.
"And white underwear!" said her friend, Katie Rowland. Of course it was.
Top car
As the story went, Jon Shirley and his late wife, Mary, used to plunk car engines right on their kitchen table and work on them, so devoted they were to knowing and restoring old cars.
The Microsoft millions came (Shirley is a former president and board member), and the couple hired mechanics, but still kept their heads under the hoods of an increasingly gorgeous collection of cars.
On Sunday, it all came together when Shirley's 1954 Ferrari 375 MM was named Best of Show at the 64th Annual Concours D'Elegance in Pebble Beach, Calif., arguably the most prestigious car show in the world.
The car was originally built for Italian filmmaker Roberto Rossellini. Shirley bought the car in 1995 and spent two years researching and restoring the car — and did it again after it "got beat up," in road rallies, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Shirley is one of the increasingly rare owners who doesn't just own his cars. He drives them. He should get an award for that, too.

If the R2.2 lakh crore of transfer pricing adjustments made by the taxman to the income of MNCs isnt bad enough, news reports suggest matters may soon get worse. The CAG, it appears, is preparing itself to start examining transfer pricing cases and has already started training its officials. Theoretically, given the poor track record of the taxman, the CAG audit could end up pulling up the department for frivolous tax demands, but given that this hasnt happened so far, the chances of it happening dont look that great. In FY13, in the report of the Tax Administration Reforms Commission (TARC), the taxman won under 12% of all cases in the Supreme Court, a little over a fifth in the high court and the income tax tribunalsthe data pertains to all CBDT cases, not just to transfer pricing ones.
Which is why, with the number of transfer pricing cases rising rapidly, the government tried to come up with safe harbour rules, where certain profit margins were specified for different types of businessesif the assessees declared at least these profit margins, the argument was, the taxman would accept the returns. Yet, as it turned out, the safe harbour norms were fixed at such high levels, few assessees are even using them. Instead, 400 companies have queued up to finalise Advance Pricing Agreements (APAs) with the taxman, to firm up how various transactions are to be dealt with. While APAs provide a lot of certainty, by their very nature, they are cumbersome and restrictiveany firm wishing to enter into a new type of business will, for instance, have to sign a new APA. In any case, of the 400 cases before the taxman, just 5 APAs have been finalised so far. Transfer pricing solutions for US firms under what is called the Mutual Agreement Procedure (MAP) are equally tricky and are stuck on what an acceptable profit margin is to bethe US side wants it to be around 12-13% while the Indian side is sticking to an 18% figure.
In such a situation, the department needs to do two things. One, there needs to be a panel of experts, including the private sector, that need to examine transfer pricing cases to see just where the taxman is getting it wrong. In many cases, for instance, the transfer pricing involves share transactions which, logically speaking, do not affect the income of a company

Who says you need a car to go on camping trip!? After work on Friday, we jumped on the Golden Gate 80 from Civic Center to Sausalito. Careful, this bus sometimes bypasses Saualito and stops at the Spencer Bus Pad en route to Marin City, but at night runs on an alternate route, stopping in downtown Sausalito instead. This ended up being a blessing because we discovered the Excelsior and Cooper staircase, thanks Weekend Sherpa! This staircase begins at the corner of Excelsior and Bridgeway and ends at Spencer Avenue. Apparently in the old days it was a secret access point to the many Sausalito brothels. Although the stairs are steep, it was a fun way to explore the Sausalito neighborhoods. The stairs end at Spencer Ave, at which point you need to walk along the road. This felt a bit dangerous, especially at night, just be aware of cars. We eventually ended at the Spencer Bus Pad and walked under Highway 101 to the Morning Sun trailhead. The trail is initially quite steep, but eventually levels out. It's about a two mile hike from the trailhead to Hawk Camp. Make sure to call ahead to reserve a spot (415) 331-1540, campsites are free so they fill up, especially in the warmer months. After arriving at our spot, we pitched our tent, ate our Papalote burritos, then warmed up in our sleeping bags for the night. As we drifted off to sleep, we were serenaded by a pack of coyotes.
In the morning we were treated to a gorgeous sunrise, with city and ocean views. We had a quick breakfast, packed up camp, and headed out for our hike back. We took advantage of having the headlands to ourselves and headed down toward Rodeo Beach. By late morning we headed back towards Sausalito. To add a bit of variety to our trip, we decided to take the ferry back into San Francisco. With a Clipper card the ferry costs less than $5, and is such a picturesque way to end the trip. After getting off the ferry, which docked at the ferry building, it is only a short walk Muni and BART.

Strategy #9: Examples
Focus on Customers with the Greatest Potential
Air Zoo Gamble Pays Off in Michigan - The Air Zoo opened in 1979 as the Kalamazoo Aviation History Museum to showcase air and space flight through a collection of historic aircraft.
ArtBites Successfully Blends Museum Tours with Cooking Classes - In retrospect, 2007 was a tough year to launch a new business. However, despite the economic downturn that began the following year, Maite Gomez-Rejón managed to successfully launch her own company, ArtBites.
Atchafalaya National Heritage Area Reaches Ecotourists - The Atchafalaya National Heritage Area was established in 2006 to celebrate and preserve the heritage and culture of 14 parishes in south central Louisiana after having state heritage area designation for the previous eight years.
Boom to Bust and Back Again in Deadwood, South Dakota - Life was really good for the Adams Museum & House in the early 2000s. The introduction of gaming to Deadwood in 1989 had enabled the Adams Museum to expand their budget and hire a professional museum staff.
Building Local Loyalty at the Kentucky Gateway Museum Center - The Kentucky Gateway Museum Center in Maysville, Kentucky started a "Museum Scouts" program for fourth-graders who were studying Kentucky history. The result has been a program that builds long-term loyalty to the museum.
Cherokee Nation Says Osiyo to Visitors - The unique culture and heritage of the Cherokee Nation is woven throughout a 14-county jurisdictional area in northeastern Oklahoma.
Colorado Tourism Office Focuses on Local Market - In response to the economic downturn, the Colorado Tourism Office redirected heritage tourism marketing dollars to promote in-state travel as well as the "regional drive market," or, people who live within driving distance of Colorado.
deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum Reaches out to Families - The deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts has been enjoying strong visitation despite the economic downturn.
Encouraging Repeat Visitors in Hawai'i - In June 2010, the Hawai'i Tourism Authority (HTA) launched a new Hawai'i Heritage Sites program to promote significant heritage sites on the Hawaiian Islands.
Equestrian Games Bring the World to Kentucky - When the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games came to Kentucky for 16 days in the fall of 2010, the Kentucky Department of Travel & Tourism capitalized on an opportunity to reach a new audience arriving from 60 countries around the globe.
Experiencing the Arts in August in Rhode Island - After carefully reviewing museum admission numbers, the Rhode Island School of Design decided to close their museum during the month of August in 2009 and again in August 2010 as a cost-cutting measure.
Georgia Antebellum Trail Group Starts Pilgrimage - Georgia's Antebellum Trail, the state's first tourism trail, follows a 100-mile route through seven communities from Athens to Macon.
Great Idaho Getaway Program - Idaho's state tourism office decided that with the downturn in the economy, it was time to try something really different in their tourism marketing.
Inviting Kentuckians to Explore Their State - With gas prices rising and the economy declining, the Kentucky Department of Travel & Tourism decided to encourage the state's residents to travel close to home with a campaign called "Discover Your Own Backyard."
Michigan's Mackinac State Historic Parks Reaches Out to New Audiences - The U.S. economy may have plunged in 2008, but Michigan's economy has been faltering since 2003. For the Mackinac State Historic Parks, this translated to years of declining state support and increased dependence on earned income.
Mississippi's Thematic Trails Shine the Spotlight on Unique Culture and History - Sometimes economic difficulties can be a good thing – in effect, a wakeup call to redirect from doing things the way they have always been done.
Museum Merger Creates New Opportunities - "It is a rare occurrence in the nonprofit world when a museum seeks out another museum to entrust with its collections, to ensure those historical treasures are well cared for," says Amy Lent, executive director of Maine Maritime Museum.
Paddlers Bring Business to the Northern Forest - When the nonprofit Northern Forest Canoe Trail was created in 2000, organizers set as the mission connecting people to the natural environment, human heritage and contemporary communities.
Poplar Forest Builds on 200th Anniversary to Increase Visitation in a Challenging Economy - For the past 24 years, Poplar Forest has offered an opportunity to watch "preservation in progress." Archeologists and restoration craftspeople have been working to restore the National Historic Landmark designed by Thomas Jefferson.
Rising Visitation and Membership Results from Conner Prairie's Plans - At a time when many museums across the country are struggling to retain members and increase visitation, Conner Prairie Interactive History Park in Fishers, IN is seeing increases in both areas.

You're at: Home > Shop > Shop by Brand > The Lord of the Rings > 3/4 Scale Gollum Bust
Tortured and wretched by the lure of the One Ring, Gollum is a withered, piteous creature. Driven mad and twisted by his loss of the Ring decades ago, he is compelled to haunt Middle-earth, searching everywhere for the only thing in the world he ever craved for, his "precious."
The head and neck portion of Gollum are expertly captured in this nearly life-sized, three-quarter scale bust. The bust is made out of heavyweight polystone and adorned with a Gollum nameplate, the Lord of the Rings logo and the hand-numbered edition size.

One of the most incredibly complex characters to ever hit the screen... Read more.
One of the most incredibly complex characters to ever hit the screen is undoubtedly Gollum. This sculpture fully captures the true nature of this creature with his mind bent on getting his precious. Hide.

With The Sporting News writer Tom Dienhart seeming to have a grudge against Chizik. I wanted to see who people thought is the best and worst sportswriters and sportscasters.
Also, I met a lot of Iowa State fans and I dont want to leave any of that behind. - DARIUS DARKS on Staying a CLONE!!!
Matt (00 Alumn)
Waukee, Iowa
What ever happened to Roy Firestone? Also I would have to say that idiot from CBS sportsline. I think his name is Greg Doyle. I can read about the first paragraph before I am utterly confused as to how he has a job.
I always used to read Rick Reilly's writing in Sports Illustrated. He has some pretty good stories over the years. Can't stand Keeler that writes for the DM Register.
Worst: Nancy Clark, end of discussion!!!
Best: ???

We can assume this would be a vote for worst... basically most people at the Rag would probably fall under this as well.
Best: John Walters
Worst: Jim Rome (even though he hates Iowa, he's an idiot)
Bestest ever: Chris Williams, John Walters and Pete Taylor(RIP)
Worst: Jim dumba$$ drunk Zable and Nancy Clark and anyone else from DMRag, Rome, Podalak, Dolphin and all the other EIU homers.
Rick Rielly has always been one of my favorites, I usually flip to the back of SI when I get it just to read his column.
I also usually enjoy the guys on Around the Horn (for the most part, but I despise Realli) and really enjoy watching Kornheiser and Wilbon on Pardon the Interruption, those guys are usually quality entertainment and usually a good read as well when their material shows up.
And I'll second a motion for Jim Rome for worst, I find it mostly unnecessary for a guy like him to have his own show where he just rips on people.
I think it is Mike Gottfried that does some football for ESPN. I like listening to him ok, as far as what he has to say, but he sounds like he has dentures that are about to fly out when he talks.
I personally like listening to Gary Thorne, his voice is great. Pete Taylor was damn good, too.
Not much into sportswriters. Don't pay much attention to any one particular writer. However, Dienhart is obviously one of the worst. His obvious grudge against ISU for letting his boy McCarney go is childish at best. Sportswriters are not supposed to have bias' like he does.
Rick Rielly has always been one of my favorites, I usually flip to the back of SI when I get it just to read his column.
I totally agree , "Rick Rielly" is the best.....
Worst sportscaster...Billy Packer hands down.
Hey! It's all ball bearings nowadays.
Lou Holtz=worst. You wanna talk about denture problems, you talk about Lou Holtz. Oh, and he's a Notre Dame homer. That's annoying too.
Best: Marty Tirrell, Chris Fowler, Mike Trico
Worst: Shawn Terrell (WHOTV), Skip Bayless, Lou Holtz,

Why Semantically driven
When I decided to properly start a blog (I wonder if my original one on Blogger or whatever it was is still kicking around) it took me ages to decide on a name. Because I love reading and love writing, I wanted a name to encompass words or semantics. And because I feel driven to write, I included driven in my title. I also wrote about this when it was this blog's second anniversary. In this post I contemplated changing the title, but I'm not changing it now because I've registered the semanticallydriven.com domain.
What you will find here
This isn't what you would call a niche blog, ie I fall into a few categories. One is the mummyblogger category because I do blog about my son but this is not the sole focus here. Now that he's getting older I find myself focusing more on showing off my photos and relating the stories that go along with them. Overall, it's a personal blog so pour yourself a drink, sit down and look through the archives. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Some flattery my way – my blogging cred if you will
In August 2007 I finally got my own domain name – semanticallydriven.com. Not long after this debut I changed hosts from Typepad to WordPress.
I've made it onto a couple of top list, including this one: Top 100 Australian women bloggers. Blogging has really taken off here and I don't make it onto these lists any more. It was nice while it lasted.
In January 2009 I became a 9rules member. 9rules, finds the best content from the independent web and pulls it all together in one location. I was really chuffed to be chosen for this. I need to revise this as it's not really a thing any more.
Really it's all about me
I was born and raised in the country and once I finished high school I got out as I felt there was more for me than staying in the country and working in some sort of clerical job.
My immediate family consists of me, a 12-year-old boy (referred to as Jaycee Junior and JJ and our rescue dog, Phoenix who in no way will replace Monty.
I've been a sole parent pretty much since JJ was conceived. Read more about about meeting JJ's father (on Ourstory.com), when I found out I was pregnant, and what it felt like to be pregant while single.
I studied part-time as a mature age student to get a Bachelor degree in Professional Writing and Communication as I have a keen interest in the written word and I thought writing this blog would at least get me doing some writing.
Other websites
In addition to this website I maintain the Safari suit website (a special interest blog about, you guessed it, safari suits). You'll have to go and check it out for yourself.
And on a more professional level I created Content is.
If you're still reading..
I have written fairly anonymously but if you really want to find out a bit more about the person behind this blog come visit and befriend me in these places.

Dress to Impress: Job Interview Style Tips
Posted October 30, 2013 by Guest Writer in Building Your Brand
You found the perfect job, and now it's time to nail the interview! You only have one chance to make a fantastic first impression at an interview. Style speaks volumes before you've said a word. Looking put-together and polished the moment you arrive means the difference between making an entrance and being overlooked.
The confidence and poise gained from knowing you look your best can set you apart from the competition. Here are a few tried and tested interview style tips that will help you make a lasting first impression.
- Anticipate what your interviewer will likely wear and dress to the same level. If you are interviewing at a more conservative company with traditional dress codes, opt for a stylish suit. And if you're going for a more creative-type job, something more modern and chic will help you stand out.Try pairing a pencil skirt with eye-catching details—like front zips— and a printed blouse layered with a lightweight women's cardigan. Taking a little extra time to prepare your outfit in advance is well worth the effort. Not only will it relieve some of the stress, planning your outfit ahead of time is a great way to ensure you'll fit right in when you show up (early!) for the interview.
- Avoid loud patterns and overly bright colors. You want the focus to be on your skills and the conversation, so stick with neutral pieces for a put-together, professional look. When you go for a print, consider something low-key and not too distracting such as a subtle pinstripe blazer or neutral plaid women's suit pants.
- A structured blazer is a tried-and-true interview option. Whether you are trying to score a creative internship at a new start-up or negotiating an executive level position, a blazer looks professional, stylish and polished. Good fit is key, so make sure your blazer fits you well through the chest and shoulders.
- Consider your accessory choice. Opt for simple jewelry and comfortable shoes. A neutral handbag or briefcase is professional and also keeps you organized. Bonus points for choosing a chic leather file folder for important documents such as your resume (always bring a hard copy just to be on the safe side).
- Be comfortable, be confident. Make sure everything you plan to wear fits properly and comfortably when you're sitting and standing. When you are comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll be more at ease during the interview, which will help you appear every bit the cool, confident and capable professional you are.
A job interview is a stressful but rewarding experience that presents both opportunity and challenge. A polished, professional style will help you face (and conquer) the interview intimidation factor perfectly while showing your confidence and professionalism. Even if you don't get the job, there's so much you'll gain from the experience.
For more advice on what to wear to your next interview, share your concerns and questions in the comments!

Chat With Tom Holmoe On ESPN.com
Related Links
Today at 2:30 p.m. PT, Cal football coach Tom Holmoe will stop by ESPN.com to chat about his team and the 1999 season.
One of the most respected names in the game of football, Holmoe took over the Cal program in January 1997 and guided the Bears to a 5-6 record in his first season. Holmoe, however, has had a long history of being associated with winning teams, both as a player and coach.
Since he began playing football as a high school sophomore, Holmoe's teams have won 19 conference championships in a 22-season span. A 1983 graduate of BYU, Holmoe was the Cougars' starting cornerback from 1980-82 and led the WAC in interceptions as a sophomore in 1980. He earned first-team WAC honors as a senior and later was drafted in the fourth round by the San Francisco 49ers. Holmoe went on to play seven years, all with San Francisco, in the NFL. He was part of four Super Bowl championship teams (as a player in 1984, '88 and '89), including the 1994 season when he served as a 49ers assistant coach.
Holmoe was named as the Cal coach just two days after the resignation of Steve Mariucci, who was named the head coach of the 49ers. Holmoe had served as Cal's defensive coordinator under Mariucci in 1996.
Visit the Tom Holmoe chat room on ESPN.com and submit a question for the coach. You can also follow the chat live by returning to the page at 2:30 p.m. PT!
