Mega Gospel Coalition 2013 Post-Conference Sale
While I've been trying to for the past several years, I have yet to attend a Gospel Coalition conference—one of those things I'm planning for next year now that I'm settling into my new ministry role. Well last week a number of ministry leaders and practitioners descended on Orlando to listen to a solid line-up of speakers share thoughts and insights on the mission of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke, and what that mission means for our own ministries.
Did you make it to the conference this year? If so, what's that one insight you learned that has stuck with you?
One of the things I love about conferences are the mega deals on resources that will not only challenge me as a Christian, but "plus" my ministry— I love finding resources that will provoke thoughts and practices that will further equip me to do what God has called me to do. Well, I'm really pleased to let you know that Zondervan is discounting a set of phenomenal resources that will do all the above.
On Politics and Cultural Change – An Excerpt from Tim Keller's "Center Church"
There's an interesting side bar included on page 200 of Timothy Keller's new book, Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City. In light of the pending election, I thought it was a particularly salient point to mull over. Here's what he says:
James Hunter's claim that political activism does not typically lead cultural change is supported by an interesting finding in Robert Putnam and David Campbell's American Grace. Today's young adults are surprisingly united in saying that one reason they have turned from the church is the antihomosexual activism of the Religious Right. So why are young adults much more liberal in their views regarding homosexuality, so liberal, in fact, that they find the traditional Christian position on sex to be offensive and harmful? Putnam and Campbell, among other reasons, say "TV and the movies normalized homosexuality during the period." (American Grace, Simon and Schuster, 2010; p.128) In other words, while some Christians were hoping that legislation would change people's attitudes, it was pop culture, the academic institutions, the arts, and the media that were shaping the popular mind. Public policy is only now beginning to follow suit.
Since James Hunter is seeking to correct an imbalance – an overreliance on politics and activism for cultural change – he could be read as proposing that believers should not be involved in politics or government. This is not what he is doing. Christians have a high calling to represent Christ in all vocations – in the public sphere as well as in the church.
Watch a free webcast with Tim Keller on Friday, October 19th at 3pm EDT – www.TheGospelCoalition.org/CenterChurch
He will be speaking on Center Church and will discuss ministry topics with David Wells and Richard Lints.
Timothy Keller on The Danger of Asking God, 'Why Me?'
HT: CNN Belief Blog
When I was diagnosed with cancer, the question "Why me?" was a natural one.
Later, when I survived but others with the same kind of cancer died, I also had to ask, "Why me?"
Suffering and death seem random, senseless.
The recent Aurora, Colorado, shootings — in which some people were spared and others lost — is the latest, vivid example of this, but there are plenty of others every day: from casualties in the Syria uprising to victims of accidents on American roads. Tsunamis, tornadoes, household accidents – the list is long.
As a minister, I've spent countless hours with suffering people crying: "Why did God let this happen?" In general I hear four answers to this question. Each is wrong, or at least inadequate.
The first answer is "I guess this proves there is no God." The problem with this thinking is that the problem of senseless suffering does not go away if you abandon belief in God.
Read the full article here.
Timothy Keller is a brilliant writer. A lot of people could say that for a lot of different reasons. But what makes me say it today is that I'm amazed at his ability to succinctly, clearly, and gently express his points without pulling any punches or skirting any theological issues.
If you haven't read this article yet, be sure you take the time to. People in your church are asking "God, why me?" about their suffering. Or people in your small groups and Sunday school classes might be asking "Why do things like the Aurora shooting happen?" This article will help provide you with thoughtful, biblical answers.
Thanks, Tim!
Tim Keller's new book for ministry leaders, Center Church, is available for pre-order at Amazon, B&N, CBD, and wherever books are sold.
Links worth Clicking: Tim Keller, Saddleback's small groups, and What it's like to serve the homeless
Here are a few interesting links to start your week…
Small Groups: Mark Howell blogs on "The Unexpected Twist in Saddleback's Exponential Growth Formula." It was interesting for me to read about how far they've come in terms of small group participation.
Easter, Prison Tattoos, Men in Pantyhose: This post from Brandon Hatmaker shares some of the stories of what it's like to do ministry for the homeless in Austin, TX. Honestly, stories like this stop me in my tracks. What if every church had systems in place to serve the homeless in their community? This quote from the post is the one that really got me:
Need is everywhere. If we can't possibly find it, we are either looking in the wrong places, or we're not really looking. And the goal can never be just the EVENT of serving the poor. The goal is the people we meet along the way. In that place we will find Jesus. He was clear that he'd be there among those on the margins.
Unofficial study guide for Keller's marriage book: A professor and theologian local to Grand Rapids, David Murray, has prepared an unofficial study guide for Tim Keller's book The Meaning of Marriage. If you've not heard of David before I highly recommend checking out the videos he's developed at Head, Heart, Hand.
Book Review: Are you on the book review website, Goodreads.com? I am and last week I found this great review of It's Personal by Brian and Amy Bloye. Here are a few lines from the review that I absolutely love:
To me, the most compelling element of this book is the fact that it is completely absent of strategy, process, and formula. Of course, there is advice on how to handle certain situations, but this book is more about the heart of the church planter and the church than it is about how to start a church that will explode. This makes the book timeless, because methods change almost daily, while principles are unchanging.
In a culture that is obsessed with quick fixes, sexy sermon series, and all-star bloggers, Brian and Amy bring us back to the refreshing and humbling reality of what Christ really intended when He established His church, and how we must go about our lives and our vocations if we are to truly be a part of that vision.
"Center Church" – New book by Tim Keller
This book will be one of the most read, discussed, and implemented books by church leaders over the next decade.
Because I work on the Zondervan marketing team you may expect me to say that, but please trust me, I'd say it whether I worked for Z or not. The impact of Tim Keller's leadership on American evangelicalism cannot easily be overstated right now. Don't miss this book.

The Present and Winners Announced
Thank you all who commented on your favorite Old Testament story that pointed you to Jesus. We received loads of great comments and the overall story that most people felt pointed them to Jesus was The Present – 31% of you. The second favorite story was the Exodus – 13% of you. Other favorites were Ruth, David, and Noah.
The 3 random winners of the Jesus Storybook Bible Curriculum kit are:
- Taraleigh: "Son of Laughter for sure ~ about God keeping his promise to Abraham and how he would bring another baby. "…this baby would be everyone's dream come true.""
- Kelly F: "My favorite is David and Goliath! David knew that only God could save him…and in the end…only God/Jesus can save us! One big difference between David and Jesus though is that David risked his like for his people. Jesus GAVE his life for the world! Love, love, love the Jesus Storybook Bible!"
- Lisa: "Israel's restoration in Ezekiel 36 – God would remove Israel's stony heart & replace with heart of flesh. "And I will put my Spirit in you. . . . I will save you from all your uncleanness.""
In honor of the wonderful story of The Present, Abraham and Isaac, I want to share a great piece from the curriculum of the Jesus Storybook Bible Curriculum: notes based on material from Timothy Keller for teachers of this story. This is taken directly from the curriculum. I think you will find it helpful as you teach children, adults, and yourself. And be sure to visit www.jesusstorybookbible.com for samples, review lessons, and more.
Some readers will have understandable objections to this story, especially as it is often interpreted. Some people have interpreted this story as: "God called Abraham to murder his son, and Abraham showed his faith and submission by getting ready to do it. So we should do whatever God calls us to do." But this is to misunderstand the meaning of the firstborn son in Jewish thought and symbolism. God over and over again told the Hebrews that because of their sinfulness, the lives of their firstborn are automatically forfeit. The only way to change this was for the firstborn to somehow be redeemed with sacrifice or ransomed with payment.
When God said that the firstborn child's life belonged to him unless ransomed, he was saying in the most vivid way possible that every family on earth owes a debt to eternal justice — the debt of sin. The firstborn was, in traditional cultures, the bearer of all the family's hopes for a prosperous future. That is why God's call to Abraham to sacrifice his son was enormously painful; it appeared that he was abandoning his promises to Abraham. But the charge was not incomprehensible. God was not asking him to murder his son. He was calling in Abraham's debt.
It is hard not to notice the resonance of this call to Abraham with all the others, especially the first one in Genesis 12. Then and now he was called to "go," leaving all his security, comfort, and everything his heart rested in. Then and now he was called to make his heart's dearest objects into an "offering" to God. In Genesis 12, those things were more general. He was giving up his friends, most of his family, life in a civilized, safe place. These are major sacrifices. God was asking Abraham to trust in God's promise as his security and significance, not these other things. That is what God is doing again
now, as Abraham is called to offer up Isaac, the dearest thing in his life.
In every case, God is saying, "Don't look to anything but me. Make me your ultimate security, worth, and hope. Don't trust in anything but me. Don't rest your heart in anything more than me for your significance and acceptability."
But the ultimate nature of this test is summed up in the term God deliberately uses with emphasis in Genesis 22:2: "your son, your only son." It is not literally true that Isaac is Abraham's only son. But Isaac is Abraham's only son in that all his hopes are focused on Isaac: he is the promised son, the one through whom God promised to rescue his people.
Did Abraham push himself up the mountain simply saying, "I have to obey God perfectly! I can do it! I must do it!" and so on? No, Genesis 22:8 shows that Abraham had decided to cling to the goodness and promises of God despite all appearances. He says, "God himself will provide the lamb." Abraham could not have known exactly what God would do, nor does it seem likely he believed specifically that a ram-substitute would be discovered. He was simply saying, "God will provide . . . somehow." Verse 5 also seems to be an indication of Abraham's hope, because he tells his servants that "we will come back to you."
In other words, he did not go up the mountain saying, "I can do it"; rather, he went up the mountain saying, "God will do it . . . but I don't know how." Somehow God would remove the debt on the firstborn and keep the promises he'd made.
Abraham had his eyes fixed on a provision that he could not even imagine, but he knew was there. We, this side of the cross, can truly see the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.

This old-fashioned, moist cake, jazzed up with vanilla bean and roasted pears, takes on even more flavor if you start the pears a day ahead so they can steep in their syrup. The recipe comes from Romney Steele, author of Plum Gorgeous.
Sunset DECEMBER 2011
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Butter and flour a 9-in. tube pan* or 10- to 11-cup nonstick Bundt pan, knocking out excess flour.
2. Make topping: Combine brown sugar, walnuts, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Slice pears lengthwise 1/3 in. thick if using tube pan or chop if using Bundt pan.
3. Make cake: Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well and scraping inside of bowl after each addition. Scrape seeds from vanilla bean and add to bowl (save pod for another use). Add syrup and sour cream; beat to combine.
4. Combine dry ingredients. Add to batter and beat on low speed until blended; batter will be thick.
5. Sprinkle half the nut mixture in pan, then arrange half the pears on top. Spoon half the batter over pears and spread evenly. Repeat layers. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 55 to 60 minutes for a tube pan, 45 minutes for a Bundt pan.
6. Let cool in pan on a rack about 45 minutes. Loosen cake from sides of pan with a small, slender spatula and invert onto a plate. If any toppings stick in pan, loosen with spatula and replace on cake.
*You can order a 9-in. tube pan ($18) from amazon.com.
Make ahead: Up to 1 day, chilled; set on a baking sheet, wrap in foil, and rewarm in a 350° oven about 15 minutes.
Note: Nutritional analysis is per serving.

Mark Bowman, the sommelier at Pure Wine Cafe, the upscale wine bar in Ellicott City, woke up Sunday to a striking aroma — and it wasn't the bouquet of nouveau Beaujolais. It was liquid manure, dumped over a mile-and-a-half stretch of Main Street sometime early Sunday. "It was disgustingly epic," said Bowman, who lives on Main Street. Howard County highway crews spent nearly three hours cleaning up the manure, according to Howard County Fire Battalion Chief Eric D. Proctor. He said the spill ran from Main Street in Ellicott City east onto Frederick Road in Baltimore County, causing street closures while crews cleaned the pavement. The source of the manure was not known.

"Very tasty, simple and quick to prepare. All of the spices come together in an excellent sauce. Put some over the rice as well. I had no chick peas and didn't miss them! Also added some dried cranberry to the raisins. Top with toasted pecans or almonds."
"Excellent recipe!
The ricotta adds so much to the overall flavor and texture of the dish.
I used a sweet red pepper instead of green. Also, added more cayenne pepper for a bit of a kick!
Would also make a great casserole with chopped up eggplant instead of stuffing the shells.
Highly recommended."

Celtic poised for new Leigh Griffiths bid
Wolves were today braced for a fresh move from Celtic for striker Leigh Griffiths after Parkhead boss Neil Lennon refused to rule out a bid.
Lennon hinted at possible interest in Wolves' leading scorer despite his Molineux counterpart, Kenny Jackett, pouring cold water on rumours of a move.
Speaking last night, Lennon rubbished stories of Celtic interest in other targets including Norwich midfielder Robert Snodgrass.
But he was more coy when quizzed on whether Griffiths was among his targets after Celtic saw a move for an unnamed foreign striker collapse on Thursday.
"I can't say that," he replied before adding, "but he is highly thought of, put it that way."
The Bhoys have already had a loan bid for Griffiths turned down by Wolves, who have played down talk of offloading the 23-year-old, who is their 13-goal leading scorer.
But it is still believed the Molineux club would consider a cash sale.
Jackett, meanwhile, today tipped French powerhouse Ibrahim Keita as a future Wolves star.
The 18-year-old striker has been in prolific form for the club's under-18s team this season and is highly rated by Molineux staff.
Head coach Jackett took the chance to watch the former France Under-16s international last Saturday at Stoke when the match at Crawley was called off and he scored twice in a 6-1 win.
Jackett also witnessed a top-class strike from Carlo Erdei and a second outing for Barcelona 'B' signing Albert Torras.
But Keita is really catching Jackett's eye, and the youngster, who was scored at an impressive rate ever since signing from Saint Marcel in the 2011-12 season, is being eyed as a future first-teamer.
"Keita's goalscoring record has been terrific at Under-18 level and we hope it continues," said Jackett.
"At that level it's pretty hard to stop him - he looks like scoring every game. He scored two in the first half and then he had a couple of chances before being taken off at half-time as he played in the Under-21s' game against Chelsea on Monday night for half an hour.
"Those Under-21 games offer a great platform to try to get in the first team if you can do well."
Jackett gave Keita a glimpse of the senior side after he appeared as an unused substitute in the 2-1 FA Cup defeat to Oldham in November.

Battery technology starts with chemistry and the understanding of how unlike metals in the presence of acid can create electricity. This is a one-hour lesson in which students will be exposed to this basic technology.
In this lesson, students will learn basic concepts of battery technology. After an instructor-led discussion on battery basics, the students will use four lemons to create a simple battery. Students will work in teams of two in this instructor-led activity. They will also have a handout for reference. Students will use an LED to test their new batteries.
Students will start with two lemons to simulate a 'two-cell' battery. They will attempt to light the LED with this set-up. It won't light. They will then add two more lemons to make it a 'four-cell' battery. When this is done, the LED should light.

Activities in this Lesson
- Make a simple battery Hooks / Set
Hook activity:
Materials needed:
- Whiteboard
- Cutaway battery
- Alternator
- One lemon
- DVOM (Set to Volts low scale)
- Worksheet: How much do you know about batteries
- PowerPoint presentation slides 1 through 9
Instructor: As students walk in, have them pick up the How much do you know about batteries worksheet and start working on it while you're taking roll. This is an ungraded worksheet that will be used for discussion. It will get the students in tune with the topic for the hour.
Instructor: "Let's get started. Each of you picked up and completed the worksheet How much do you know about batteries. Hang on to those for now. We'll use it for discussion later in the lesson."
Instructor: "Here's a lemon. But it's more than just a lemon. It's also the basis for a battery. How do you think that's possible? (Call on students for answer vs. asking for a raise of hands)
Instructor: It's the basis for a battery because it contains acid. We're going to use the acid to create electricity on demand."
(Choose two students to assist):
- Have students take the lemon and insert two probes from a DVOM (Set meter to volts 'super-low' scale).
- Show voltage slowly climbing
"The meter shows electrical voltage or 'pressure'. Here's the way it works: We insert metal probes into the lemon which contains acid. The acid reacts on the metal probes to create a voltage potential. The meter is an electrical load. The load prompted the electricity to show a reading on the meter."
Instructor: "Batteries create electricity on demand. They do this when there's a complete circuit across the two battery posts."
(Begin powerpoint presentation here)
(Slide 1): "So here's the plan for today We're going to discover how batteries work. You'll learn some surprising facts as we go through the lesson today".
(Slide 2): "More specifically, we'll cover the following concepts:"
- How batteries create electricity on demand
- The first batteries and ancient history (You'll be surprised at this one!)
- How to make a simple battery
- Batteries -- Application to automobiles
Instructor: "Now take out the worksheets you filled out at the start of class. Be prepared to give it your best shot when I call on you for answers.
Instructor: Questions: (Call students out vs. asking for hands)
(Slide 3): " Electricity has been around for a long time. What was the first form of electricity?" Lightning from the sky.
(Slide 4): "Was this form of electricity usable?" Not really. In a few seconds, all the electrical power was absorbed into the earth.
(Slide 5): "Another form of electricity actually lived in the ocean. Any idea what that was / is?" Electric fish. This is a weird one: The ancient Greeks wrote of the pain killing effect of electric fish when applied to the soles of the feet.
(Slide 6): "The first battery: Does anyone have an idea of where and when it was made? Iraq around 2,000 years ago. It was a clay pot with a copper strip and metal rod attached. The acid solution required was likely grape juice.
(Slide 7): Do you think the ancients really understood the principles of storing electricity when they created the first battery? Maybe not. Many inventions are created before their basic principles are really understood. Here's an interesting fact: The Chinese invented gunpowder long before the principles of combustion were understood. The fact is this: You don't always have to understand why something works - just that it does.
(Slide 8): "Electricity and automobiles: On any vehicle, electricity is available in what two forms?" Generated (alternator) or stored (battery).
Instructor: (Hold up the cutaway battery).
(Slide 9): "The battery is used only to start the vehicle. Once the vehicle is running, what's the component that takes over to charge the battery and run the vehicle and all accessories?" The vehicles generator or alternator. (Hold up the alternator).
- Classroom: Instructor Show and tell: Demo / Modeling
Materials needed:
- Automotive battery cutaway
- Working flashlight with d-cell batteries
Instructor: (Hold up the auto battery cutaway): "Here we have an automotive battery cutaway. As you know, it provides electricity on demand. It contains six different compartments or cells. We'll talk about why they're important a little later. Again, the battery doesn't 'produce' electricity until called on to do so. So how do we get the battery to do its work? Applying a load to the battery will prompt it to produce electricity. This means operating the vehicle starter, lights, or accessories."
Instructor: (Hold up the d-cell flashlight): "Here's a flashlight. Turn the switch ON, the bulb lights."
Instructor: (Remove one of the batteries from the flashlight): "Here's the battery from our flashlight. It does the same thing as any battery: Produces electricity when it's needed. Switch ON, puts a load across the battery, which then produces the electricity needed to light the bulb."
- Lab Activity: Worksheet-guided Lab / Shop
Materials needed:
- Student worksheet: Making a Simple Battery
- All items listed in Materials and set-up list
Instructor: Hand out worksheet: Making a Simple Battery
Instructor: "We've discovered that batteries produce electricity when called upon to do so. Now we'll give you the opportunity to make a simple battery yourself."
Instructor: Hand out materials for this activity. See Materials and set-up list.
Instructor: "We're going to start with two lemons to see how they perform. We'll add more later. You'll see why we have to do this."
Instructor: Carefully guide the students through the steps outlined on the 'Making a Simple Battery' worksheet.
IMPORTANT: Students should wear safety glasses before proceeding further.
NOTE: The LED is going to be fairly dim even with four lemons. You may have to shut off the classroom lights to make the LED's more visible.

Lesson wrap-up:
Materials needed:
- Student Worksheet: Making a Simple Battery
- PowerPoint presentation slide #10
Instructor: Have students finish the 'Wrap-Up' section of their worksheet. Use this as a discussion point.
Instructor: "Now let's wrap up the lesson, and discuss what we've learned".
Questions: (Call students out vs. asking for hands)
(Slide #10):
1. "How can we make electricity with an acid solution?" (If we dip or submerge two unlike or different metals into an acid solution, we create potential electricity).
2. "How can we get a battery to produce electricity?" (Applying a load across the positive (+) and negative (-) 'posts' of the battery).
3. "Referring to the diagram you drew: What makes up a complete circuit?" (Battery, load, and wires or conductors to connect the battery and the load).
4. "What can a complete circuit accomplish?" (It can do work, turn a motor, light a bulb, etc.)
5. "On our lemon batteries: What happened with the LED when we wired two lemons or cells together?" (LED didn't light).
6. "What was our solution to make it work?" (We needed to add more electrical 'power', which is called amperage, or 'amps'. We did this by wiring in more 'cells', the remaining two lemons).
Batteries: What's next?
Instructor: "In the next few days we'll learn more about automotive battery cleaning and testing. You'll also understand clearly why it's important to have all six battery cells working together and what can happen if they don't."
- Assessment Types:
- Projects, Interviews, Observations,
1. Interviews (questions to students): Instructor will ask key questions to guide students through the learning process. (Calling students out vs. asking for hands).
2. Observations: The Instructor will monitor student activities by walking around the classroom and observing. Instructor will assist as needed and answer any questions that the students might have.
3. Project: Students will follow a Worksheet to create and test a basic battery using lemons and other materials. They will test their battery using an LED. When the LED Iights, they have successfully created a basic battery.

Lil Wayne's Jail Time Postponed by Courthouse Fire
March 2, 2010 Rapper Lil Wayne's sentencing has been delayed yet again, this time because of a fire in the New York courthouse where he was expected to be sentenced to one year in jail Tuesday morning on gun possession charges stemming from a 2007 arrest.
Wayne, 27, was originally scheduled to be sentenced last month, but that hearing was delayed for him to undergo dental surgery, including eight root canals.
According to The New York Times, a two- …

Expert Interview: Andrew Thaler's 13 Thoughts about Ally (Alviniconcha) and Iffy (Ifremeria)
Hi Hagfish Day Fans,
We're excited to have deep-sea ecologist, *Andrew David Thaler, join us to share his thoughts on why these two very cool and rare snails should be part of Hagfish Day's hall of fame. Let's see....one feels like velcro, they are BFFs...and they eat in a very weird way...yep, they are perfect Hagfish Day stars!
Jake, the SeaDog
PS. If you think the Hairy Vent Snail is the true beauty of Hagfish Day, vote for it in our Ugly-Beauty contest!
1. We are so excited to introduce the....the Hairy vent snail (Alviniconcha sp) and the...Ifremeria...does it have a common name?
Usually biologists just call them by their scientific names, but sometimes we refer to Ifremeria as the black snail and Alviniconcha as the hairy vent snail. Their scientific names aren't really Latin either. The two snails were named after two of the most famous deep diving submarines. Alviniconcha was named for Alvin (literally translates as Alvin Snail), the USA's deepest diving research submarine, and Ifremeria was named after the IFREMER Nautile, the French's research sub (Ifremeria's full name is Ifremeria nautilei).
2. I see that you have cartoon characters named Iffy and Ally....are they by chance deep-sea BFFs?
They are deep-sea BFF's in the comics and in real life. Both Ifremeria and Alviniconcha hang out near the outflow of hydrothermal vents. Alviniconcha likes it a little warmer than Ifremeria, so you find them in a bulls eye pattern, with Alviniconcha in the center and Ifremeria surrounding them.
3. Are they found all over the world or only near deep-sea vents in the Pacific? Do they live "in the vent" or "next to the vent" (my 11 year old asked that one)
Ifremeria is only found at hydrothermal vents in three places in the western Pacific, Manus Basin, which is near Papua New Guinea, and Lau and Fiji Basins, which are in the middle of the Pacific. Alviniconcha has a slightly bigger range. It lives everywhere Ifremeria does, but can also be found near Japan and at one place in the Indian Ocean.
4. How hot is the water where they live?
The water coming out of the vents can be up to 300 degrees C, but the snails don't live right at the hottest point, so it's about 21 degrees C where Alviniconcha is, and 18 degrees C where Ifremeria is. The water cools down really fast after it comes out of the vent, so they could be a couple of centimeters away from the 300 degree water and not get burned.
5. We need the bald truth about the hairy vent snail...is it really covered in hair? Are the spines a fashion statement or do they have a purpose?
Alviniconcha really is covered in hair, although it's tough like bristles, not soft. We're not sure exactly what function the hairs have, but one hypothesis is that they keep other animals, like barnacles and limpets, from settling on their shells. Ifremeria don't have hair, and they tend to be covered in other critters. And yes, there are some bald Alviniconcha. Sometimes they get pushed too close to the hot water and their hairs get burned off!
6. If I touched this snail's shell, would the spines be soft like velvet, crush easily, and/or are the hard, sort of like a sea urchin's spines (though a totally different animal, of course)?
It actually feels like the sticky side of a Velcro strip. The hairs even curve inward like the Velcro hooks.7. Does these deep-sea snails have an operculum (kind of like a front door for those who haven't picked up a sea snail in a while)?
Yup, they both have fairly standard opercula.
8. What do they eat? What eats them?
Both Ifremeria and Alviniconcha have endosymbionts, bacteria that live inside their gills that extract energy directly from the vents and turn it into food for the snails, through a process called chemosynthesis. These snails don't really eat anything, the food is produced for them inside their bodies, like having a little farm in your stomach. Because of this, Alviniconcha and Ifremeria are some of the few animals that don't need sunlight to survive.
9. I saw a photo of hairy vent snails...there were a ton of them. Is that normal?
Yes, they appear in very large aggregations.
10. Why are these snails important to their environment?
Both snails are foundation species, they literally create habitat for other organisms to live on. Because there's no sunlight down there, there are no plants, so the snails are also the base of the food chain. Crabs, shrimp, fish, and even other snails eat them.
11. What's the scoop with Ifremeria, I can't find any information on it.
Ifremeria tends to get overshadowed by Alviniconcha. Even with molluscs people like the cute and fuzzy ones better. Because Ifremeria doesn't have hairs and lives further from the hot water, more critters grow on their shells, and there tends to be much more of them at any one vent. They also have a brood pouch for baby Ifremeria, so unlike most snails, they don't lay eggs but give birth to free-swimming larvae.
12. Can people, okay deep-sea scientists, observe them in person on a deep-sea sub or do they live too deep?
They live very deep, so you need a robot or submarine to see them in their natural habitat, but they are very tough and can survive at the surface for several days, so if you bring one up, you can watch it crawl around.
13. Do either do anything awesomely cool like a hagfish, tie themselves in knots or ooze slime or....?
Ifremeria has a very cool larvae, called a Waren's Larvae. It was actually just observed and is the first new type of mollusc larvae discovered in more than 100 years. This lets it swim across huge distances to find new vents.
Thank you Andrew for your time, information and sense of humor!
*More about Andrew: He is a candidate for Ph.D. at the Duke University Marine Lab. He studies population structure and connectivity of deep-sea hydrothermal vent endemic invertebrates in the Western Pacific. His interest is in how marine populations interact with each other at local and global scales. His primary focus is in the connectivity of deep-sea hydrothermal vent ecosystems and understanding how patterns of connectivity or isolation effect the ability of vent organisms to re-colonize vents after catastrophic disturbance. Phew! In other words, he has a very cool career studying creatures that live near deep-sea vents....specifically in the Western Pacific.
He also writes for the popular marine science and conservation blog Southern Fried Science and posts ocean poetry and creative writing at Hardtack and Sardines.

Melvin vs Brock Larson Fight Video One FC 8. The main card bout took place on 04/05/2013 in Singapore Indoor Stadium in Kallang, Singapore.
Thats some BULLLSHIT. Brock Larson runs for two rounds and gets the win? reallly? The wrestlers and the judges are killing mma slowly
Anyone who runs like Larson did should lose by disqualification.
So what does the yellow card do?
I'd be scared to fight No Mercy, too. hahaha
A bit of a slow start, but an entertaining for a stanza or two♠
Brock Larson… please open a wrestling gym and go away. The judges should quit the sport too. He literally turned his back and RAN from Melvin. The next time he "fights" they should make Brock wear YELLOW trunks.
Ran for two rounds? Save for one embarrassing moment in the 1st there was almost no action in the opening rounds to run from. The second and only other time Manhoef decided to fight he ended up being saved by the bell and lost the round because of it. Can't entirely blame Larson, Manhoef fought too patiently and did nothing in the third to get back on his feet.
Dana white says it best, you live it in the hands of the judges, you lose yourself… These judges and Refs make me not want to watch these fights anymore… Shame!!!
*leave LOL
@da_wakka the yellow deducts money from there purse for stalling the fight
god I can't stand running bitches! that larson guy sucks A$$ so bad. running from the fight like a little bitch.
This just in…wrestling is completely legal in MMA.
Respect to MM for not giving up but i agree he was too passive on his feet, obviously over cautious of getting taken down and subbed. MM would be fighting in the ufc right if he had better takedown D and a better guard off his back.
I don't understand why fellow mma fans hate on one particular fighting style because it's not exciting enough for them? As much as i think that Larson is a bum he was able to negate MM's powerful punches and kicks and exposed his cardio. MM had his window to ko Larson but couldn't do it. Larson's game plan won.
Larson using the condit running move
terrible fight. put melvin against someone who actually fights. brock larson is the biggest joke ive seen in some time no wonder ufc turfed that bum
look at the judges, there is one who looks about 60 or 70 years old… what the fudge would he know about MMA?! he was probably 50 when UFC 1 happened, get some people that know something about the sport for gods sake

At the 2010 New York Auto Show , Hyundai unveiled the Sonata Hybrid , and the 2014 model that we got our hands on its nearly identical to the debut model.
Regardless of its age — about 40 years old in car years — the Sonata Hybrid still looks pretty modern, with its distinctive front fascia that shows off LED-trimmed headlamps and a wavy front grill. The LED taillights and aerodynamic rims are the only details that scream "hybrid." Though it remains relatively up to date, we do expect Hyundai to reveal a redesigned Sonata line for 2015, including the hybrid model.
The interior is very well-appointed, and only LCD gauges and "Blue Efficiency" button on the steering wheel clue you in that this is indeed a hybrid model. A quick press of this "Blue Efficiency" button, and the Sonata Hybrid awakens from its efficient — boring — mode. The hybrid system is attached to a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder engine that pumps out 159 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque. The hybrid system chimes in with an extra 47 horsepower and 151 pound-feet of torque. In all, this system puts down a respectable 200 horsepower, but don't expect the mid-3,000-pound, midsize cruiser to pin you to your seat.
After some seat time in the Lexus ES Hybrid , we are a little spoiled, but we have to remind you that you get what you pay for. The Sonata checks in around $30,000, and it delivers a premium look and feel. Taking into consideration that hybrid cars tend receive a 20 to 30 percent premium over their gasoline counterparts, the Sonata Hybrid is a relative bargain.

After five years in the same duds, the Sonata remains relatively modern looking. It is sleek and still sexy enough to draw in some customers. But, it is starting to show some age, and there are simply way too many duplicates cruising around the streets these days.
Fortunately, rumor has it that Hyundai is testing a revised 2015 model as we speak.
The cabin is relatively well-equipped for a hybrid model priced in this range. Could it be a little nicer? Sure, but at an increased price. The cabin is also plenty roomy for the wholes family, but the hybrid batteries do eat up a little luggage space in the trunk, dropping it to just 12.1 cubic feet — 4.3 cubic feet less than the gasoline model.
Drivetrain, Suspension and Brakes
Hyundai has come a long way over the years, but the hybrid technology is tricky business and there is room for improvement. At just 199 horsepower, the Sonata Hybrid is no speed demon, hitting 60 mph in the mid-eight-second range. Where this midsize sedan earns its stripes is from its 36 mpg city, 40 mpg highway and 38 mpg combined ratings.
The engine is strong, but the power delivery is either smooth at hyper slow mode or way too strong if you punch the pedal. For example, if you want to launch off the line, the wheels slip, then the traction control kicks in and kills the fun, then power suddenly kicks back in. It's definitely not a pleasant experience.
Then again, if you plan on keeping it in grandma mode all the time, then you'll be just fine.
Another flaw that we came across behind the Sonata Hybrid's wheel was the feel of the brake pedal. With its regenerative braking system in tow, slowing down the car feels a little awkward at first. We're sure that this is pretty easy to overcome after a few weeks with the vehicle, but it may turn off some buyers on the initial test drive.
The steering system is vastly improved compared to the old-generation Sonata, but it does tend to push the wheel toward its center position a little too much for our taste. This really takes away from the steering feedback, but then again, this isn't a sports car.
The base 2013 Hyundai Sonata Hybrid checks in at an easy-to-swallow $25,650, but the model we tested — the Limited trim — bases at $30,550. Our model came with a few options that drove the price up a few thousand dollars.
At $30,000 the Sonata is a very intriguing option, considering the massive markup on most hybrid models. It comes relatively well-quipped in its base format, and the Limited model that we drove adds in even more features that many buyers may not expect at this price point.
The Sonata Hybrid appeals to buyers on a budget looking for high fuel efficiency on highway (40mpg) as well as city (36mpg). If you can afford it, the Lexus ES Hybrid offers a better-rounded hybrid system. But If you are really looking for the best of both world, high efficiency and good driving experience, start looking into diesel powered vehicles. They offer similar gas mileage as hybrids with a more traditional driving experience.
- Exterior look clean and cool
- Premium fit and finish on the inside
- Great price for a hybrid
- Hybrid integration can be improved
- Brakes feel very unnatural
- Smoother power delivery is a must in the future

Tonight is All About4 Reviews
Basic introduction to the characters, and a deeper look into the relationships Belle has with, well...everyone
"Patrick! Andy! Joe-Joe Monster! Peter Pan!" I said, walking through the door of Patricks house. When I slipped my shoes off I was met with the first familiar face of the night.
I saw his familiar dark hair and smile make it's way over to give me a big hug. "Baby Belle! I missed you!!" Joe exclaimed, twirling me around quickly and releasing me. I stumbled a little bit while he pulled me into the kitchen. He released his grip from me and shoved me towards Andy. "Look who's home!" Joe exclaimed, and began stuffing his mouth full of french fries, dipping his fist-full of fries frantically into the ketchup like it was the first and last thing he'd ever eat.
I stood there with a smile on my face. I missed them.
Andy was standing over the stove still dishing out the french fries that Joe was demolishing quicker than they were being handed to him.
"Hey," I said, taking a seat on the counter next to the stove.
"Hey trouble. How have you been?" Andy asked, throwing the pan in the sink before giving me a hug and standing across from me.
"Busy, and trying not you miss you guys. Who woulda thought I'd miss that?" I asked, pointing to Joe who was chewing his with his mouth open absentmindedly. Andy laughed.
"You know you love us," He said, raising his eyebrows.
"Hey! You made it home!" I looked over to the voice and smiled wider than I had in months. I ran over to Patrick and jumped into his arms.
"I missed you so much," I said, wrapping my legs tighter around his waist and letting a happy tear free-fall onto his shoulder.
"I've missed you, too," He said, as I let my legs drop to the floor and balance my body and he wiped my tear with his thumb.
I heard a series of mock 'Aww, how cute's but ignored them to take notice of my brother; my Patrick. His dirty blonde hair was resting comfortably under a baseball cap that I got him for his birthday a couple of years ago. His eyes seemed to scream happiness, and I couldn't help but to mirror that expression.
Patrick quickly ushered me into the living room.
"How is the movie coming along?" He asked, taking a seat on the couch. I sat next to him and made myself comfortable.
"It's coming along famously. This is the most amazing thing I've ever done, Patrick. It's insane, and I'm a part of it. But the technicalities of it are starting to get to me," I told him, picking at the fibers on my jeans.
"I'm not going to ask what's wrong. I know you're stressed, I've been hearing it in your voice over the phone. Is it the nerves?" He asked with concern evident in his voice.
"I dunno, it's nothing really. It's just that Brock, my agent or whatever his is, keeps trying to get me to do interviews and red carpet appearances. It's really uncomfortable," I told Patrick, biting my lower lip out of nervousness.
"You know I still haven't met this Brock guy," He said, shifting in his chair.
"Hey, I'm twenty-two now. I thought you would have given up on being the over-protective older brother," I told him as I pulled my legs up onto the couch.
He cocked his head to the side and smiled, "I'm always going to be older than you, Belle. And I'm always going to be over-protective. You know that," He said with a smile.
We were in our on little world, talking about new albums we've been listening to and anecdotes from our lives. We keep up through telephone conversations, but that was no comparison to this.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see...
"Peter Pan!" I exclaimed dramatically, getting off of the couch to give him a hug.
"Tinkerbelle!!" He exclaimed just as dramatically.
We adopted the nicknames for each other after a discussion on literature a while ago. He is a big fan of Hemingway, while I adore Dickens. After a heated argument about metaphors and symbolism we agreed on only "The Adventures of Peter Pan", and decided that the only way to keep the peace was to call each other fictional characters' names.
Pete picked me up and twirled me around, and I'm sure I squealed loudly. After getting my bearings back I looked around the room and smiled.
"Pete, why aren't you at home? I mean, you just got back. You should be spending time ..." I trailed off and let a huge smile cross my face before turning around and looking at the culprit. "Are you throwing me a birthday party, Ricky Martin? Because I distinctly remember a certain conversation I had with you about this subject." I said with authority and a smile.
"It's Pat-Ricky Martin to you, Belle. And you didn't honestly think I wasn't going to, did you? I mean, I wasn't here for your birthday, and this is the least I could do," He said, referring to the 22nd birthday that I celebrated a week ago. I hesitated to agree with him, and Kay laughed as she took a seat next to him.
After talking for a while I excused myself to go upstairs and change. After taking a quick shower I searched through my closet and found a pair of tattered blue jeans. They were a little more form-fitting than I was used to, having previously been owned by Pete. He outgrew them a couple of years ago, and refused to throw them away. I told him I would take good care of them for him.
I continued scanning through my closet before deciding on a white fitted t-shirt and a light green hoodie. I pulled back and looked at myself, contemplating on whether or not I should try makeup. I owned a black eye-liner pencil that Kay left in my bathroom, along with some face powder. I couldn't even dress up if I wanted to I thought with a smile, noting the fact that I don't own a blow-dryer, curling iron, etc. I do, however, own almost every body spray ever made. My cell phone started ringing from my gym bag and I walked out of my bathroom to find it.
"I'm sorry we couldn't be there for your party, Belle," I heard Brendons voice say over the speaker of my phone.
"Well, you are in Europe having your own fun. I'll be here when you get back," I told him.
After looking in the mirror and being somewhat satisfied with my reflection I took a seat on the bed. I heard a quick knock and then Petes head pop in.
"Who's on the phone?" He asked, as he took a seat next to me and turned the TV on.
"It's Brendon, say hi," I said, and I hit the speaker phone button and sat on my bed. Pete mumbled a "hello" into the phone.
"Hey Pete. You came in at just the right moment. I was just going to offer myself to Belle as a birthday present. That is, of course, if she's not already floored by your charm." Brendon said with a laugh.
"I could never fall for Pete's charm, I'm saving myself for you, dear Brendon. Besides, Sir Wentz is far too much of a territorial pisser for me. My stomach is too weak to deal with the stench of urine following me around all day." I finished with a giggle.
"So you choose me over him because I won't piss on you?" Brendon asked incredulously.
"Well, that and the fact that you're younger than me. I can still teach you a thing or two," I said in a mischievously seductive manner.
I looked up and laughed uncontrollably when I saw Pete listening attentively to my phone conversation.
"Or two? Hey, I'm up for that endeavor. Are you sure you don't want to come on tour with us?" Brendons voice piped up.
"What's with all of the sexual innuendos?" Pete asked, grabbing my phone and directing his voice into the speaker.
"When did the subject of urine fall into the category of a sexual innuendo?" Brendon asked with a laugh. Pete handed me back my phone, seemingly amused by our sexually elicit banter.
"Well, I have to let you go now. Music is calling my name, and I can't ignore her," Brendon said solemnly.
"Alright. I'll talk to you later my love," I said in my best English accent.
"I shall count the minutes," Brendon replied with a laugh before hanging up. I tapped the "end call" button on my phone and threw it onto the bed next to me.
"My love..?" Pete questioned, raising his eyebrows. I looked at Pete and shrugged my shoulders nonchalantly.
"Aww, is Peter Pan jealous?" I asked smiling, preparing my fingers to tickle him. He noticed.
"I swear to god, Belle. If you tickle me I'm gonna kick your ass," He said, scooting further away from me. I got up on my knees and tackled him. I began assaulting him with my fingers, causing him to squeal like a little girl.
"You can't be in a bad mood during my birthday party, Wentz! This is your punishment!" I said in my best evil villain voice.
He grabbed both of my wrists and held them together with one hand and began tickling me with the other. I freed myself and squirmed away on my knees but he was quickly behind me.
"You shouldn't have started a game you weren't willing to finish!" He screeched as he grabbed my legs to stop me and I rolled over onto my back and began to kick up at him. He straddled my legs as he began tickling me on the sides of my stomach. I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath. I put my hands to his chest and tried with a feeble attempt to get him off of me. "I can't....breathe!" I exclaimed between laughter.
"Say uncle!" He said, hovering closely above me. I held on for another couple of minutes before giving in to his demands. His fingers slowed to a stop and I fought to catch my breath. He sat up on the edge of the bed and grabbed my hands to help me up.
I sat up next to him and he pulled a small box out of his pocket. "Ugh, it's nothing extravagant, but.. When I saw it I thought of you," He said, handing me the box.
I grabbed it from him and smiled, peeling away the aluminum foil wrap that he used as wrapping paper.
I opened up the box to find a small hemp necklace. His hand reached over and he grabbed the charm pendant that was dangling from it.
It was a silver pendant, with an engraving of the disney characters of Peter Pan and Tinkerbelle.
I smiled widely and pulled him into a hug.
"Ugh, Bonnie showed me how to braid hemp, so the necklace is a little fucked up.. if you wanna buy a chain for it-"
"Shut up Pete, I love it," I said, and gave him a kiss on his cheek. I pulled back and looked into his hazel eyes.
"Thank you," I said.
"I have an identical one," He said, lifting up his pant leg and exposing the hemp necklace and pendant around his ankle. "It's a little queer on my ankle, but this way I can never lose it," He said with a wide smile, putting his leg down.
"Um, can you latch this?" I asked him, handing him the necklace and turning around. He shifted closer to my back before wrapping the necklace around my neck. I pulled my hair up so it wouldn't intrude.
I jumped a little as I felt his finger trace around the length of the necklace. "I'm just trying to straighten it out," He whispered, as if a noise louder than that would break his concentration.
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday... oh, ugh.." I turned around quickly to see Christian standing in the door.
His jet-black hair was just long enough to sweep his eyebrows. A plain black "Rise Against" t-shirt and vintage jeans were simple enough for his 5'8 frame. He shook his head to sweep hair away from his crystalline blue eyes, which were shooting daggers at Pete.
"Oh, ugh, Pete was giving me my birthday present," I said quickly, getting off of my bed to show it to Christian. He glanced down at the object for a second before returning his glare to Pete.
"Kay wanted me to come up here and get you. She said that your brother has something for you," Christian said in a somber voice, as Pete lifted himself from my bed and walked past us and down the stairs.
I knew I had to say something.. I couldn't just sit there and not do anything.
"They are having some sort of 'meet the press' thing at the rainbow tonight. I think I should go," He said, turning around. I grabbed his arm.
"Please don't. You know it's nothing," I said, using my other hand to lace my fingers with his. He looked down and back up to me.
"I do?" He asked, his voice barely above a whisper. I nodded my head 'yes' and reached up to place a soft kiss on his lips before leading him downstairs.
Authors Note: I promise the next will be alot more fun. I'm done with the intro, so the fun can really begin.

What makes this bungalow unique
Country living, peaceful and quiet.
Beautiful sunsets and scenery.

Guestbook comments from the owner
Outstanding location - ultimately peaceful and secluded, surrounded by fields with horses, deer, coyotes and foxes but yet just 3 minutes drive from all services. Quick access to the freeway making the drive to the Rocky Mountains, the city or the airport just a breeze. Would recommend for families with kids.

The hardest Oscar to predict this year is surprisingly Best Director, which is usually one of the easiest. I usually just look at the results of the various guilds and critics awards and weigh those in my head, but doing that this year leads to Ben Affleck being the clear winner and for some fucking reason he isn't nominated.
I am putting my money on Spielberg. Wouldn't be my choice, but I think he is going to win.
I ended up picking Ang Lee, but if he doesn't win, Spielberg will.

Sara Young considers herself "probably the worst cook ever," so why is the Rowland Hall Middle School teacher leading a class learning to make peanut brittle, mozzarella cheese and root beer?
It's not that kind of cooking class. In "Edible Science," -- a week-long summer course taught last week at the Salt Lake City school -- the emphasis wasn't so much on creating gourmet dishes as on understanding the science behind the cooking.
Although, no one complained if the finished product was tasty.
"It's a good chance for the kids to learn about science, but in a way that's not pressure-oriented," explained Young, an eighth-grade science teacher. "It's very relaxed, and I think it helps them see that science can be fun, and it's not straight from a textbook."
Young has been known to bungle toast, but she is surprisingly adept at teaching kids to cook when science is involved.
Instead of recipes, students used "procedures." And rather than using pots, pans and a stove, Young's middle-schoolers used Bunsen Burners, beakers, thermometers and graduated cylinders.
Wearing protective goggles, they learned the different ways sugar crystallizes at varying temperatures and about how ginger ale and root beer get their fizz.
For many middle-schoolers, conducting experiments tends to be anticlimactic because they know what's going to happen, Young said.
But, when dealing with food, "they never know what they're going to get."
"When they made peanut butter, all the kids roasted nuts at different temperatures or for different amounts of time," Young said. "So we had really, really light peanut butter all the way to black-tar peanut butter."
For Trevor Falls, 13, his favorite activity was making brie and mozzarella cheese.
The cheese looked gross as it curdled, but the brie ended up being surprisingly delicious, while the mozzarella, as predicted, was disgusting.
As for partners Mallory Metz and Jimmy Seiner, their favorite part was making peanut brittle.
It's not a coincidence that it was also the yummiest treat they made all week. Aside from the pleasing flavor, it was fun for the students to watch the contents of their beakers foam over just like in a real chemistry lab.
Hands-on learning is how Young first fell in love with science. At 12, she conducted an experiment involving the browning of apples. The project got bigger and bigger, until her house was full of apples and accompanying fruit flies.
That enthusiasm to learn has not diminished.
This summer, the science teacher -- who got her undergraduate degree at the University of Colorado and master's at Lesley University in Boston -- will head east for a month-long adventure.
Young's slated to participate in Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists, a program in which seven teachers nationwide are invited to work alongside particle physicists and other scientists from the Department of Energy.
Teachers will spend the month at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia, serving as research assistants.
It's a way to engage the classroom with the research community, and help teachers feel more comfortable discussing current research.
And luckily for Young, a weekly food stipend is provided, so she won't have to cook.
