Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the PSB CS500 by Marshall Chase Outdoor speakers let you move the party outside Outdoor speakers are built tough -- they laugh at wind, rain and weather. Tuck a pair under your eaves and they'll pump out the tunes to keep everybody smiling and swaying at your next cookout or pool party. We also have some "rock" speakers that blend seamlessly into your landscaped lawn or garden. Great sound, right where you want it The PSB CS500 outdoor speakers provide amazing sound quality even in the most challenging environments. These weather-proof speakers use high-quality drivers. The 1" titanium dome tweeter delivers crisp highs and the 5-1/4" woofer pumps out solid bass. Each CS500 has a bracket that allows horizontal or vertical mounting. Once mounted, each speaker can be swiveled to direct the sound wherever you like. All-weather resilience As a Canadian-based company, PSB knows as much about harsh weather as they do about high fidelity. The sturdy interior of the CS500 cabinet features extensive bracing to put a damper on vibration. All materials are tough enough to withstand temperature and moisture extremes. Other protective measures include UV resistant enclosures, rust-proof speaker terminals and rubber seals and gaskets. These speakers will provide years of music enjoyment whether you're out listening on your urban terrace, on the boat dock or just cooling off in your toddler's pool. What I heard PSB brought a pair of CS500s to Crutchfield for a demonstration. I noticed something different right away the speakers were mounted diagonally. The unique bracket allows for an amazing variety of positions, which is a tremendous help when you're faced with challenging locations. My second big, positive impression came when I listened to a number of tracks played both from a hard drive and an iPod®. The music files ranged from normal CD-quality to high resolution, and the PSBs' realistic tonal quality and the fact that the cabinets had zero resonance really stood out. In fact, the CS500s reminded me of good bookshelf speakers. Not surprising since PSB modeled the CS500 after their Image B5 bookshelf speaker . Got wire? Most speakers don't include any.

I purchased these speakers for our pool area and mounted them vertically on custom stands at ear level. When powered by a 50-watt amp, they produce indoor quality sound with excellent dispersion. Base response will surprise you and excellent highs as well. This was my first purchase of a PSB product and will not be my last.

Brianna Fedorich got the crowd going as she netted the first goal of the season for CSE. It was not enough however, as the Screaming Eagles dropped to the Express from Wells College 7-1 on Tuesday.
The Express got on the board early as Lindsey Bush netted a goal at the 19:29 mark in the first half. The Express added 2 more goals before half to go up 3-0 at the break.
CSE had opportunities early in the game as they controlled the ball for a lot of the first half. The Screaming Eagles totaled 8 shots on goal in the first half, led by Valerie Lasko, who had 5 of them. CSE's keeper, Grace Bailey, lead the defense with 8 saves, 4 in each period.
Wells College continued on the offensive prowl in the second half as they added 4 more goals to ultimately end up winning 7-1. Heather Hiltbrand led the way for the Express as she netted a hat trick.
The Eagles shining moment came at the 11:31 mark in the second half after Valerie Lasko was tripped up in the box while attempting a shot on goal, resulting in a penalty kick. Briana Fedorich ended up sailing a penalty kick passed Wells' keeper for her first goal of the season. This was also the first goal of the season for CSE, who never gave up in a tight fought game. The Eagles totaled 10 shots on goal in the game with Lasko shooting 6 of them.
CSE looks to get their first win of the season as the Eagles return to action for a home match Saturday against Cobleskill at 1 P.M.

View More Puppies for Sale
Breed Group: Not AKC Recognized
Weight: 6-15 lbs
Height: 8-14 inches
Color(s): Wide variety of colors; may be solid or patterned.
The Mal-shi, also called the MalteTzu, is created by the crossing of two breeds: Maltese and Shih Tzu. They are commonly referred to as "designer dogs" and have become popular companions.
Sturdy, well-built, and compact, the Mal-shi is agile and lively. They exhibit a keen expression and hardy appearance.
The ideal Mal-shi is affectionate, loving, and devoted. They should be playful, spunky, and clever. They do best in a home with older, considerate children. They generally do well with dogs and non-canine pets. Mal-shi's are wary and suspicious of strangers and are quick to alert their family to visitors and out of the ordinary sounds.
The Mal-shi requires daily brushing to prevent matting and tangling. Bathing should be done when necessary using a mild shampoo. The ears should be cleaned regularly to prevent infection. Dental hygiene is important to prevent early tooth loss. They may be prone to such health issues as slipped stifle, skin problems, eye and respiratory problems, and spinal disc disease.
The coat of the Mal-shi is typically long, straight, and dense. They may or may not have a double coat.
Early socialization and obedience are recommended. The Mal-shi may be stubborn and difficult to housebreak. They will not respond to harsh or heavy-handed methods. Training must be done with firmness, fairness, patience, and consistency.
The Mal-shi is well suited for apartment living provided they are sufficiently exercised and mentally stimulated. They are able to meet the majority of their exercise needs indoors but enjoy securely leashed walks, family play sessions, and off-lead play time in a securely fenced yard.
If you are looking for Mal-Shi - Malshi puppies for sale from reputable Mal-Shi - Malshi breeders or to adopt Mal Shi Malshis from a Mal-Shi - Malshi rescue then make sure you understand as much about the dog breeds you are interested in as you can.

Shoot bare bow with a release seems like i have never seen this posted.
Define bare bow.
2008-2011 Martin firecat pro-x, 70#, 29" dl. Monster bows dragon 60#, 29" dl.
i seen you have got about the same responce over on AT.are you talking a trad bow,or a compound with just a string no rest,sights,peep,silencers,ect...,or maybe an old school long bow.
im a bit lost
14 hours of fishin and 1 catch will do that.
instinctive w a compound using a release?
'14 ChillR 28.5"/74# Extreme Recon sight,Schaffer Opposition rest,LS modular stab, Beman ICS Hunter 340
I have shot with only a d loop and release. If you practice you can do well.
Bow String Depot Custom String Builders
Need a string set pm or email me @ email@example.com
or check us out @ http://bowstringdepot.com
Yep but I didn't like it, shot very poorly. I think gibson 787 shoots instinctive with a release.
When I was younger I had a 30lb recurve shooting fingers that I could hit a phone book fairly regularly at about 50yds. I haven't shot that way in awhile so would be lucky to hit the target now.
Thanks guys that answers my question i cut my shooting finger so now going to try a loop and a winn free flight with a hook dont really like a sight iam shooting a scepter 4 shoot thru system very good bow for finger shooting
forgot to mention i do use a anchor sight on the bow but no sight sure keeps you from torqeuing your bow

Reliable Unit By Muttley on 9/11/2014Muttley would recommend this product to a friendThis unit is very easy to setup. It has been on my tank for about 7 months with no issues.
Great product By Jonathan on 9/1/2014Jonathan would recommend this product to a friendIt is nice to just sit back and relax whaching my tank knowing that I no l don't have to dose by hand any more. This pump works great and eassy to use. Keeps my levels stable and now I don't have to be worrying about dosing.
amazing By Kevin on 8/23/2014Kevin would recommend this product to a friendIt feels great to test knowing your Alk and Cal are where they should be pump runs prefect at 1.1 ml per minute. i will put at least two of these on any of my systems i build.
Great pump for 2 part dosing By Roman on 8/19/2014Roman would recommend this product to a friendGreat pump, highly recommend for 2 part dosing automation with reef timer or controller. It is a little bit noisier than I expected, however it helped me realize that my pump was on when it should't be running (due to old timer stuck in ON position), so I was able to quickly turn it off and avoid a disastrous CA overdose.
exellent By babnika on 8/5/2014babnika would recommend this product to a friendWhy pay more for an inferior product? Simple, reliable, well built, nothing fancy to go wrong. This is a no brainer.
Great product! By David on 7/30/2014David would recommend this product to a friendI bought two of these to FINALLY stop dosing manually, next to my ATO this has been the best purchase I have made for my reef. They are simple and work great.
Solid doser By Squareface on 7/25/2014Squareface would recommend this product to a friendMy dosing pump doses 0.85 ml per minute, instead of 1.1 ml. But, once you know the speed of the doser, it's all that matters. Except for this little problem, the pump is solid. It's something that seems to last.
Excellent dosing pump By Jonathan on 7/16/2014Jonathan would recommend this product to a friendI have two of these for CAL& ALK. Makes life so easy for tank care. Necessary buy, do not know what I would do without one. Accurate and easy to install and use.
awesome By q on 7/16/2014q would recommend this product to a friendbrought 2 and working great. easy to set up
Easy setup, definitely worth it if your dosing daily By John on 7/7/2014John would recommend this product to a friendOnce my calcium uptake started to require me to dose daily, I purchased two dosing pumps for 2-part dosing. Easy setup, easy adjusting. I am using two electronic timers, dosing once a day during the night, separating the Ca and Alk dosing times by several hours. I test my Ca and Alk levels at water change times, but have found that I rarely need to adjust the pumps once they are dialed in.
Great dosing pumps! By Moni on 6/26/2014Moni would recommend this product to a friendI got two of these a couple months ago, and they've been a great addition to my system. The pumps don't siphon, and can raise a good head of water with very consistent flow, which allowed me to put my dosing reservoirs in a closet away from my display tank. The dosing has been extremely consistent, making the water chemistry of my tank more stable than I ever thought it could be.
Only problem was when I had a programming error with my controller, which left the pumps on for several hours and turned my tank into what looked like a bucket of milk. Certainly can't blame the pumps for that tho - they performed exactly as they should!
So far so good By eric on 5/30/2014eric would recommend this product to a friendGreat pump for the money works great with the apex.

Previously Asked Questions
by ronald on April 11, 2014, @9:33 PM
will your BRS two part doser include two pumps and be able to dose both parts from separate bottles for 74.99
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Ronald,
No the pumps are sold per pump. To have two pumps to dose two liquids you would need to purchase a quantity of two pumps.
by Kurt on February 6, 2014, @6:58 AM
Can you order more tubing? I'd like to relocate my dosing pumps and need new tubing.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Kurt,
This stuff will do the trick just fine (most use clear).
by Chris on November 26, 2013, @7:19 AM
is the pump tube replaceable? if so do you sell the replacement tubes?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Chris,
It sure is. You can find the replacement tubes at the link below:
by David on December 26, 2013, @6:56 AM
What size of tubing fits on this doser? And does the input tubing different from the output tubing?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi David,
Input/output tubing are the same and both are 1/4" though its a compression fitting so its fairly forgiving if your close.
by Bruce on January 17, 2014, @5:38 PM
I received my pumps today. I noticed in the package was two different types of hose. One was clear and softer than the other which was not clear and more rigid. Is one hose meant for input into the pump and the other for dispersing the fluid from the pump?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Bruce,
You can use either. The rigid tube doesn't bend as easy but holds its shape better, wheras the soft tube is easier to route around corners, etc but kinks a bit easier. Feel free to use either in whichever application is better suited.
by John on January 27, 2014, @7:24 AM
Does the BRS 2 part doser draw enough power for the ReefKeeper PC4 module to reliably shut off when connected to channels 2 or 3 or should it be connected to channels 1 or 4?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey John,
In most applications it is but I would still recommend using the relay outlets on 1 & 4 just to be safe!
by Brad on April 22, 2014, @9:20 AM
I dont no anything about dosing, How do you know how much to dose? What to dose? How do you program it? Any other tips?
Bulk Reef Supply Hi Brad,
The pump itself doesn't have any programming. It just doses 1.1mL for every minute it is turned on. You adjust how much it doses by changing how long a timer turns it on. As for how much to dose, what were you planning to dose?
by Brian on April 4, 2014, @8:32 PM
I just got a dosing pump and was wondering if there was a maximum height that I can mount the pump in my stand. I currently have it mounted about a foot above my container of dosing solution.
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Brian,
That won't be a problem. The pump shouldn't have any issue pulling solution up anywhere within a normal sized aquarium stand.
BRS 2 Part Doser Specs

Hieroglyphs: Commentaries on the Sacred Letters of the Egyptians and Other Peoples
Hieroglyphica by the Italian humanist Pierio Valeriano (1477–1560), also known by the Latinized version of his name, Pierius Valerianus, is the first modern study of Egyptian hieroglyphs. Originally published in Basel, Switzerland, in 1556, the book became very popular in Europe. It was reprinted in the 16th and 17th centuries and translated from the original Latin into French and Italian. This Latin edition was published in Lyon, France, in 1602. Valeriano partly based his book on the Hieroglyphica of Horapollo, who is said to have been an Egyptian priest ...

The glucose tolerance test is a lab test to check how your body breaks down sugar.
Oral glucose tolerance test
The most common glucose tolerance test is the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
Before the test begins, a sample of blood will be taken.
You will then be asked to drink a liquid containing a certain amount of glucose (usually 75 grams). Your blood will be taken again every 30 to 60 minutes after you drink the solution.
The test takes up to 3 hours.
A similar test is the IV glucose tolerance test (IGTT). It is rarely used, and never used to diagnose diabetes. In this test, glucose is injected into your vein for 3 minutes. Blood insulin levels are measured before the injection, and again at 1 and 3 minutes after the injection. The timing may vary.
Make sure you eat normally for several days before the test.
Do not eat or drink anything for at least 8 hours before the test. You cannot eat during the test.
Ask your health care provider if any of the medicines you take can affect the test results.
Some people feel nauseated, sweaty, light-headed, or may even feel short of breath or faint after drinking the glucose. Tell your doctor if you have a history of these symptoms related to eating sugar. Serious side effects of this test are very uncommon.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
Glucose is the sugar the body uses for energy. Patients with untreated diabetes
have high blood glucose levels. Glucose tolerance tests are one of the tools used to diagnose diabetes.
A blood glucose level that is higher than normal can be used to diagnose type 2 diabetes
or high blood glucose during pregnancy (gestational diabetes
). Insulin level may also be measured. (Insulin is the hormone produced by the pancreas that moves glucose from the blood into cells.)
The oral glucose tolerance test is used to screen pregnant women for gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. It may also be used when the disease is suspected, even though fasting blood glucose level is normal.
Normal blood values for a 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test used to check for type 2 diabetes in those who are not pregnant:
Note: mg/dL = milligrams per deciliter
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
A glucose level than is higher than normal may mean you have prediabetes, diabetes, or gestational diabetes.
Between 140 and 200 mg/dL is called impaired glucose tolerance. Your doctor may call this "prediabetes." It means you are at increased risk of developing diabetes over time.
A glucose level of 200 mg/dL or higher is a sign of diabetes.
A high glucose level may be related to another medical problem (for example, Cushing syndrome
You may have some of the symptoms listed above under the heading titled "How the test may feel."
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:
Stress due to, for example, trauma, stroke, heart attack, or surgery can raise your blood glucose level. Vigorous exercise can lower your blood glucose level.
Some medicines can raise or lower your blood glucose level. Before having the test, tell your health care provider if you are taking any medicines.
Medicines that can cause glucose intolerance, include:

Man found asleep in car with child, marijuana cigarette on his lap
ROCKWELL — A Rockwell man was charged after authorities say they found him with a marijuana cigarette, and asleep in a running car with a child in a car seat
Justin Michael Goodman, 19, of the 700 block of Saint Peters Church Road, was charged with two counts of resist, obstruct and delay an officer, simple possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and misdemeanor child abuse.
Rowan County Sheriff's deputies were at the 800 block of Geneva Road in Rockwell to serve an arrest warrant for Terry Wayne Goodman Jr., 41, who lived there. Authorities say Terry Goodman had warrants for his arrest for cocaine possession.
While at the Geneva Road home deputies saw a person behind the wheel asleep. The car's engine was still running and the man, later identified as Justin Goodman, had a half-smoked marijuana cigarette on his lap and an infant in a car seat in the back.
A deputy asked Justin Goodman to follow him to the back of the vehicle and Goodman did not stop when the officer told him to stop. He had to be tackled to the ground, a report said.
Goodman remains in the Rowan County Detention Center under a $7,500 secured bond.
Terry Goodman was charged without any incident. He was placed in the county jail under a $1,000 secured bond and since been released.

If you poke around [Raphaël]'s site, the creator of today's featured hack, you'll find a lot of interesting projects. X2Wii is an ongoing project to adapt controllers from earlier console generations so they work with the Wii's GameCube ports. He adapted his Multiuse tiny1 which uses an ATmega8.

Lustgarten, Farinha and Molina all took the oath of office after a ceremony honoring Councilwoman Annette Smith, who had served on the City Council since 2006.
Smith talked of her participation in some of the city's accomplishments since she had joined the panel. A resolution plaque that the City Council awarded her listed some of those items, including completion of the Hammon Senior Center, the arrival of several prominent businesses in Patterson and reworking the city's General Plan.
"I think I've done a great job as a councilwoman," she said, listing off several accomplishments including ordinances authored and the establishment of business parks.
Lustgarten won a tight race that saw Dennis McCord finish just eight votes behind her for the second City Council seat.
"This is a great responsibility, and I thank you for entrusting me," Lustgarten said at the end of the meeting.
Mayor Molina expressed hopes that the new City Council would work together, though he noted they would at times disagree, but noted the city had turned a page and was looking toward the future.
While the mayor talked of civility, Councilwoman Deborah Novelli urged more community participation.
"I'm hoping 2013 sees more people in the audience," she said. "So keep your chairs close."
Farinha expressed gratitude for everyone who participated in the election.
"It's hard for me to describe how good I feel about being able to serve the city I was born and raised in," Farinha said. "My vocabulary cannot describe it."

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (April 18, 2013)—Pure Fun, who rallied from last to win the Grade I Hollywood Starlet last Dec. 8 at Betfair Hollywood Park, will take on males in the $200,000 Coolmore Lexington Stakes Saturday at Keeneland.
A Grade III for 3-year-olds at 1 1/16 miles over Polytrack, the Lexington is the ninth of 10 races. Scheduled post time is 2:13 p.m. PDT. Track gates at Betfair Hollywood Park will open at 10:15 a.m. for simulcasts.
Trained by Ken McPeek for his family's Magdalena Racing, Pure Fun trailed for most of the Starlet before rallying under jockey Garrett Gomez to win by one length over Blonde Fog and six other 2-year-old fillies.

would like to ask bro and sis out there, how do you set your say 10 yards, or 15 yards sight pin?
For me, my nearest yardage on my top pin will sit at 25 yards. i cant go lower with that.
there is no more room for me to adjust the pin and the gang adjustment of the housing also to the max.
Any tips or advice to solve the problem. Anybody has this same problem?
If you happens to have a big buck walking by you say at 15 yards. Bro, how would you shoot it.

The Dogs that Run Venice
Drifting through the winding streets of Venice, Italy, slowing down and getting lost, you see domesticated dogs running off-leash. With no cars or other vehicles in the city, the animals run free through the streets, canals, alleys and bridges. Dogs have a long, honored history in Venice...
Venice honors Saint Roch and the dog that saved his life by bringing him bread and licking his wounds. Statues and artwork depicting Saint Roch and the dog can be found throughout Venice.
At the Guggenheim Museum there, Peggy Guggenheim is buried beside her 14 dogs. Visit the blog Dog Art Today to read more about Peggy Guggenheim and her love of dogs.
The liberated, off-leash Venetian dogs are surprisingly friendly and nonchalant. Observing their calm natures, I wondered about our comparatively frenetic, leashed dogs in New York city and how we relate to and live with them. The absence of cars and other vehicles in Venice makes it possible for animals to run free. But the cool, civilized personalities of the dogs also seem to be a reflection of their laid-back owners. Maybe we can learn from the serene dogs that run Venice and their human counterparts.

Oh wow, now I want to live in Venice....
Unleashed dogs in Venice look sort of cool in the photos. It wouldn't work here due to heavy traffic, the breeding of aggressive dogs, and the shortage of good training and socialization.
When dogs get enough exercise (as these dogs, who are running around off leash, swimming, playing etc, do), they are always more relaxed and easy-going.
A lot of NYC dogs don't get enough exercise and get little to no off leash time, which is why they look so crazy. Mine gets off leash time in the morning and at night down by the Hudson and she's calm as can be. Give a dog a couple of hours to run around and be a dog, and you'll be amazed at the difference.
Good point about their need for exercise, "A tired dog is a good dog." (That can be true of more than dogs.)
I initially read the title as "The Dogs that Ruin Venice."
I am not a dog person.
Who's picking up the poo??
Good question!
Gee, and all these years I though it was the Doge's Palace! ;-)
oops, thought.
I find it hard to believe that Venetians are breeding their dogs to be any less aggressive than others.That's laughable.Most people,the world over,will never buy a 'well bred' dog.
If your dog is sooooo well trained...why would it have aggression issues?
When visiting Europe,I have always noticed unleashed and stray dogs.
The thought of turning my dog loose in the street makes me practically panic, haha. I'd be terrified that she would have a run-in with an unfriendly person. :(
If the unfriendly person is driving, then you should be concerned. My area has the highest rate of hit-and-runs in the country. That's of people, so you can imagine what happens to loose dogs and cats. On the up side, there are some nearby dog parks.
I love dogs, but about visitors that are afraid of them?
Oh, my, and they shower in the river! Now I want to live in Venice and cuddle with all these cute little guys! ;)
In my area, the more local leash laws and poop scoop laws are complied with, the more both people and dogs are benefitted.
Venice just moved to the top of my "must visit" list.
What really makes me daydream is this post's concept of a vehicle-free city. It sounds like it would be quiet, clean, and peaceful. Too bad it couldn't work in a modern city, as opposed to in the separated, theme park-type small tourist shopping areas I've visited.
Check out this post with more on San Rocco!
3 million visitors a year in a city as old as Venice mean its not particularly quiet and clean. At least not in the central core around St Mark's. And 60,000 tourists a day in the high season don't all worry too much about putting their garbage in a can. With numbers like that, I don't think the Venetians worry too much about those with problems with dogs, cats, or rats the size of small dogs.
That said, Venice is my all time absolute favourite place I've ever been. It is so beautiful and mysterious and smelly and decaying. There is truly nothing like it anywhere.
Sounds unique, I should visit before it finishes sinking.
Lol @ Nickety. This is a cool insight to something I didn't know much about. I've always wanted to live in Europe...
So it's cats in Rome and dogs in Venice? ;o)
Venice has my heart. We went there for honeymoon and I didn't see any dog poo at all. I, too, love the vehicle free city. However, I am told that Venice is losing it's local population because, in part, it is so very hard to get around even on a bicycle.. much less with a stroller and groceries. Still, if the housing prices came down there, I'd move my family there in a minute!

FOF (Formant Wave Function Synthesis) was developed as part of IRCAM's 'CHANT' project, which was devoted to the development of techniques for the realistic synthesis of the singing voice. It models the human voice as the sound from an impulse generator (the equivalent to the vocal chords) passing through a set of band-pass filters (representing the characteristics of the vocal tract), each filter corresponding to a vocal formant.
Since the output from the impulse generator can be considered as a sequence of 'grains', the technique can be seen to be closely related to granular synthesis, the difference being that in FOF the grains are regular and synchronous, generating a coherent periodic waveform.

In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
Would those genuinely interested in learning about evolution benefit from a careful explanation of why these common objections don't hold water? Here the answer seemed to me to be "yes."
A few months ago Zondervan published the anthology Four Views on the Historical Adam. This valuable new resource addresses one of the most common questions Christians have about evolution: how does the Adam of the Bible fit with the scientific and historical evidence about early humans?
Does Collins show that Evangelicals have turned the corner on the scandal Noll brought to light, or does the continued resistance of the majority of Evangelicals to Collins's work (about 75% reject human evolution) show that we as a collective group still do not take the life of the mind seriously?
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
"There was no better way, in Boyle's opinion, to 'give us so great a Wonder and Veneration' for God's wisdom, than 'by Knowing and Considering the Admirable Contrivance of the Particular Productions of that Immense Wisdom,' by which he mainly meant the exquisitely fashioned parts of animals both great and small."
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
The world is not full of items stamped "made by God"—the Creator is more subtle than that—but there are two locations where general hints of the divine presence might be expected to be seen most clearly. One is the vast cosmos itself, with its fifteen-billion-year history of evolving development following the big bang. The other is the "thinking reed" of humanity, so insignificant in physical scale but, as Pascal said, superior to all the stars because it alone knows them and itself.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.

The first day back from vacation is the hardest: switching from beaches and cocktail umbrellas to an office chair and emails can be a jarring experience, especially if one of your first priorities is to get the inbox from 600 to 0.
Fortunately, Levo League offers a better way to deal with emails post-vacation: read them backwards.
Start from the most recent to the oldest so that you don't waste your time (and annoy the people who took your load while you were out) by answering old emails that were already addressed and completed. The last thing you want is to spend time spinning your wheels only to realize that the question/issue you were working on solving for an hour and a half was already handled by the time you get to email 1,000.
According to Creativity For Sale author Jason Surfrapp, "90% of people are afraid to ask for things." True or not, he's dead on about the fact that we don't get what we don't ask for — including the raise, the sale, or even the date. But simply asking for what we want isn't enough. In a piece on Inc., Surfrapp suggests that asks be made with creativity, confidence, and effort:
Creativity: When it comes to selling something online, your product or service most likely has competition. Someone else is already asking people to buy, so that alone should give you the validation and confidence to ask. But, you should also think about a unique or creative way you can package your ask so it stands out from the crowd.
Confidence: When it comes to relationships, confidence is key. No one wants to talk to, let alone go on a date with, someone who has zero confidence. But just like asking for things, the more you work to build your confidence and the more practice you put in, the more results you'll see.
Effort: No one has ever put in an insane amount of effort for something and not gotten some value out of it. The more you ask for things, in the right ways, the better you'll get at it. And the better you get at asking, the amount of times you hear "yes" will increase.
Here's your challenge: decide to make an ask (one that you've been avoiding or too afraid to bring up) and do it in a creative, confident way that shows effort. Then repeat.
We've all been to the notorious status meeting, where in a round-robin fashion everyone says what they're working on. According to research by Atlassian, you're highly likely to daydream during this meeting, do other work during this meeting or just miss it entirely.
Author of Read This Before Our Next Meeting, Al Pittampalli, suggests that in an effort to skip the status meeting and get right to work, that we kill the status meeting altogether, and only have meetings that support a decision that has already been made:
If a decision maker needs advisement pre-decision, he should get it from others via one-on-one conversations. Only after a preliminary decision is made can a meeting be convened. A meeting might be necessary for either of two reasons:
Conflict: The relevant stakeholders can debate the decision, propose alternatives, suggest modifications, or have concerns addressed. The decision is ultimately resolved.
Coordination: If a decision demands complex collaboration from different people, teams or departments, stakeholders can convene to coordinate an action plan.
In an interview with Explore Create Repeat, graphic designer Adam J. Kurtz talks about the importance of having a side project:
I do think it's important for everyone to do "things" on the side. Regardless of your chosen profession, career, or job, I hope that everyone enjoys other hobbies and activities and hopefully you have the resources to take them as far as you'd like to. If you love baking, bake a whole lot of cakes sometime and Instagram that sh*t. If you're super knowledgeable about pizza and love bringing friends to your favorite spots (like Scott Wiener, who I met recently) then maybe you start a pizza tour.
For makers, side projects are not about generating extra money or developing new skills, they simply cannot stop creating. For Kurtz, making stuff is his life, his therapy and his hobby. It's a way to experiment and combine multiple interests without an end in mind. When you work full-time in a creative field, sometimes you need to be reminded about the joys of simply creating. Kurtz reminds us that "everyone can do anything, we just forget."
What's the secret to good business? "Create more value than you capture," says Tim O'Reilly, the entrepreneur and deep thinker behind O'Reilly Media.
A key figure in the rise of the open-source and maker movements, O'Reilly knows a thing or two about launching world-changing ideas. That's why we interviewed him for our new book, Make Your Mark.
Here's a glimpse of O'Reilly's take on how creatives can build businesses that really make an impact:
Where do you think great business ideas come from?
Innovation starts with enthusiasts. The reason why it starts with enthusiasts is that they are focused on the right priority, which is the change they want to make in the world, versus say, a business idea that will get funded. Their perspective is: How cool would it be if we could all have our own computers? How cool would it be if I could put up information for free on the Internet and anybody could access it? How cool would it be if I could build an assistive robot for my grandmother?
What should entrepreneurs be thinking about if they really want to make an impact?
Aaron Levie of Box tweeted something great about Uber recently. He said, "Uber is a $3.5 billion lesson in building for how the world should work instead of optimizing for how the world does work."
Being able to see the world in a fresh way is the essence of being an entrepreneur. You have an idea about the way the world ought to be. You have a theory about why and how you are going to connect the dots.

So you want to build make some connections in your creative community? Fantastic. But if your first instinct is to attend a networking event and distribute business cards, think again – traditional networking aka "dirty networking" actually makes people feel physically dirty and is an ineffective way of making a name for yourself.
Building social currency is about being honest and authentic, and showing that you value others. In their Social Capital Building Toolkit, Harvard University researchers Thomas H. Sander and Kathleen Lowney, share some high impact and more natural ways to build social capital, including:
Food/Celebrations. ie. host a start-up open house or celebrate your agency's anniversary.
Joint activity around common interest or hobby. ie. organize a team of friends or colleagues and play agency ball.
Doing a favor for another. ie. help another company move into their new office or volunteer space for a meetup.
Discussion of community issues. ie. talk about poor trash pickup or organize a town-hall about bike lanes.
Undertaking joint goal. ie. create a meetup or collaborate on bringing an event to your city.
Intentional relationship building ("one on ones"). ie. set up coffee dates with people you want to know.
To enjoy all the benefits of social currency, you first have to build it. Then be patient and let your relationships mature organically.
In an essay recently published on MIT Technology Review, Isaac Asimov states that meeting with other creatives is important, not for the creation of new ideas, but to share information that leads to new ideas:
No two people exactly duplicate each other's mental stores of items. One person may know A and not B, another may know B and not A, and either knowing A and B, both may get the idea—though not necessarily at once or even soon. Furthermore, the information may not only be of individual items A and B, but even of combinations such as A-B, which in themselves are not significant… It seems to me then that the purpose of cerebration sessions is not to think up new ideas but to educate the participants in facts and fact-combinations, in theories and vagrant thoughts.
New ideas are often the result of making connections between two or more unrelated items. For this to be possible, you need to have a good background knowledge in a particular field and a wide variety of items available to connect. Asimov suggests meeting colleagues in a relaxed environment to discuss a particular subject and throw around all types of odd connections. To get the best ideas, make sure your participates are "willing to sound foolish and listen to others sound foolish."
