Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.

In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
The related ideas of the "fixity of species" and "natural kinds" have been prominent in the science and faith conversation. Some Christians take Genesis to mean that God created (bara) fixed species (mîn). But does the text truly indicate such a concept? Biblical scholar Dr. Richard Hess looks at the Biblical context and meaning of the Hebrew mîn, and suggests that when Christians use it to frame our understanding of the entire created order, we may be asking too much of this single word.
Theologian, historian and Christian apologist Dr. John P. Dickson addresses the history and interpretation of Genesis 1. Making no claims about human biological origins, Dickson urges us to treat the early chapters of Genesis as a literary and historical statement, and listen carefully to it on those terms.
At the center of the theological and cultural controversy surrounding biological evolution stands the question: "How do human beings—creatures uniquely created in the image and likeness of God—fit into the scientific picture of life's origins and development?" In this three-part series, Dr. Joshua Moritz endeavors to address this question by exploring what Scripture means—and does not mean—by the designation "image and likeness of God".
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
If you go back into the Genesis account, it says "now do not eat this or you will surely die". There is a whole chain of events that happens when Adam and Eve decide they want to walk away from God.
In addressing the subject of creation, William P. Brown contends that there is not one story but seven contained in the sacred texts of the Judeo-Christian tradition. The books of Genesis, Job, Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Isaiah each provide unique perspectives of the natural world.
Robert C. Bishop explains that many believe two things about creation: that the universe was created out of nothing by God and that he accomplished this in six days. This overly simplistic view does not do the robust Doctrine of Creation (DoC) justice, and it unnecessarily hinders much of the dialogue between evolution and Christianity. Bishop "recovers" the DoC by exploring the limitations of creation, God's sovereignty in the process, God's Trinitarian activity and ongoing purpose for his creatures, and the salvation of creation in space and time.
Denis Alexander begins this five part series by discussing both what a model is and whether it is appropriate to use one when building a bridge between scientific truths and theological truths. Providing evolutionary facts about the origins of humans as well as discussing the origin and meaning of Adam in Genesis, he constructs what he calls a Retelling model and a Homo divinus model. Both approaches, he concludes, "suggest that human evolution per se is irrelevant to the theological understanding of humankind made in the image of God."
Physicist, theologian, and minister George Murphy offers a theological look at human evolution and the implications it has for Christianity.
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the question of how Adam functions theologically in the Old Testament and whether a historical Adam is central or important for the "Adam theology" in Paul's letter to the Romans.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright suggests that what the book of Genesis and the apostle Paul mean by humans "bearing the image of God" is less a static picture and more of a creative, dynamic proposition-- specifically, how we "reflect" God into the world.
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
It has been my experience that many Christians have not given sufficient thought to how the Old Testament was composed––that is, to the "human" side of the inspiration of Scripture.
There are those who would say that Adam and Eve designate specific historical figures. That makes some sense, acknowledges theologian Alister McGrath, but it makes even more sense to say that Adam and Eve are figures that encapsulate the human race as a whole.
In this video clip, Denis Alexander discusses the description of the Fall found in Genesis. Alexander suggests that the picture we might have of the story owes more to the imaginative expansion of the narrative as found in Milton's Paradise Lost than what is actually present in the biblical text itself.

Photographs by DENNY SIMMONS / Courier & Press Michael Eggers, 13, takes a break from the Disney Channel to give Spirit, also 13, some attention after school recently. After being doused with gasoline and set on fire in the Fall of 2000, Spirit was saved by Evansville-Vanderburgh Animal Care & Control and eventually adopted by the Eggers. The Spirit Medical Fund was started in her name to help other animals at the center with their medical costs.
DENNY SIMMONS / Courier & Press Archives Spirit acclimated to her new home and family nicely in this picture made in May of 2002. It was only about 18 months since the dog was rescued by the Evansville-Vanderburgh Animal Care & Control. The dog was badly burned, but — after many medical treatments and living with a loving family — Spirit is now 13 years old and a distinguished gray in color.
Spirit, once a nearly all-black dachshund-mix, now sports a salt-and-pepper coat and a collar to keep her from disturbing the old wound on her left side. It was 12 years ago the young dog was found in Oak Hill Cemetery badly burned after having been soaked with gasoline and lit on fire.
DENNY SIMMONS / Courier & Press Archives Spirit romps in her backyard as her new owners, Michael Eggers, 2, left, and his mom, Kristi Eggers, on swing, played in their Evansville backyard May 21, 2002. The Eggers adopted Spirit after she was found badly burned in Oak Hill Cemetery in the Fall of 2000.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I was just wondering what people think the keys to throwing the disc with the nose down are?
Views: 679
I often see the pros throw the disc 40 feet in the air and the disc is still flying level and doesn't stall out. How do they do this?
They are throwing a stable to slightly overstable disc with enough power to get it to "S".
First, find a spot between you and your target 50' in front of you. Place an empty beverage can there (Preferably 16 or 24 oz).
Next grip the disc firmly with your thumb directly above your index finger squeezing the disc between the two FIRMLY. Angle the disc so that you can't see your thumbnail anymore.
Now envision the disc tearing the can in half by flying through it. Do your absolute best to tear that can in half and your disc will fly flat, four feet off the ground.
You're welcome.
Nice xian421. My self, I use visualization. I visualize how I want the disc to move and think about how my body would feel while it's moving to create the same flight. There are about a thousand reasons to want your disc to be nose up or nose down. Here are some of the most obvious ones: When throwing a disc high that you don't want to "fluff", when throwing over anything, when throwing in a tail wind, when throwing in a head wind, when PUTTING over or under anything, in intense side winds, when throwing and anhyzer that you want to turn extra right/down, when throwing a hyzerbomb, when throwing rollers, when you want your disc to flip earlier, when you don't want your disc to skip/carry farther than your target, when throwing stuff thats really stable, when putting towards a down hill, when putting down hill...
Flat , Flat , Flat ........................Some do not know how to throw Nose Down after 10 years of playing !!!! LOL !!!

Pros: Light weight, like Red Color Cons: NOT easy to set up. 3 out of 4 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Great Value!! Written By Anonymous, Ogdensburg, NY on Saturday, August 24, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had been looking for a quality digital camera for a long time, but I was set back by some of the price points. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on a $500 unit when I came upon the Coolpix L820, It was exactly what I was looking for it was the right price and it was not overly complicated with features that I would never use. Pros: Simple to use Cons: None so far 10 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Wonderful Camera!!! Love it Written By AlexM, San Francisco, CA on Sunday, June 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This is my first time using a quality camera and I absolutely love it. Why? This camera has wonderful features such as: selective coloring, adjusting to different light scenarios, wonderful zoom and plenty more. I have had a very pleasant time using this camera because of how simple it is to use. I didn't have much experience previous to this camera. I love the macro feature when taking close-up photos of animals. The zoom is amazing, I can take clear, crisp photos from miles away. The video recording is really great too. I move a lot while I record and the camera stabilizes the video, making it seem as if the camera was on a tripod. I have really enjoyed this camera and fully recommend that you buy it. I will be using Nikon products from now on. Pros: High quality photos Great Zoom Many features Simple to learn to use Great video Cons: None 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Love it! Written By LD, New York on Thursday, June 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I just received my camera and while I have not had an opportunity to review all it's features I am impressed. The red color is beautiful. The zoom is great! You really can go far and get a crisp picture. This camera really ranks up there easily with the more expensive cameras. I purchased a $900 camera and honestly returned it for the ease and features of the L820. I really like all scene options ie close up, pet (hurray for us pet owners!), skin softening, snow, fireworks, night, & sports just to name a few. I took a few pics of my puppy of course using the pet scene selection and wow! the quiet from the camera that he didn't even notice I was taking the picture!! I also tried the sports mode and was able to take the shots with no problem, no blur at all. It takes multiple shots and you can pick from the best one. The quality and sharpness of the pictures is great and mind you this was all on auto settings. If you are move savy you can use the manual setting and I'm sure get some real fantastic looking shots in. Again, I have only used it for one day but I am thrilled and look forward to taking many more pictures and 1080P movies! Pros: great zoom, crisp vibrant pictures, excellent video quality, great shutter speed, very good low light, good stabilization, motion detection, continuous shooting, not heavy, nice to have some internal memory, over all excellent quality pictures and video. Cons: rechargeable batteries would of been nice. 17 out of 17 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nikon Coolpix L820 Written By GordonH, Los Angeles, CA on Thursday, May 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The Nikon Coolpix L820 is a small dream, packed with above average features for the average user who likes the convenience of a smart phone camera but yearns to have more creative control and a great zoom advantage. I anticipate it may qualify for 5 stars in time as I try out all the features. It appears as good of a camera twice its cost for 90+ % of my needs. Pros: I bought this as an open box, everything was there in good order, a bargain and I put the savings into an extended warranty. Picture quality is good-to-excellent for my mid level photo abilities. Cons: Its a bit heavy for my inexpensive table top tripod and for holding for long periods, compared to less expensive cameras. This is partly to do with having to hold 4 alkaline batteries. 24 out of 24 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The LCD monitor's wide-angle viewing area makes it easy to see and use. The LCD monitor has approximately 97% horizontal and vertical coverage in the shooting mode and 100% coverage in playback mode. There is no separate viewfinder on the camera. Image Sensor: The Coolpix L820 features a 1/2.3" CMOS image sensor with a total pixel count of approximately 16.79-million pixels. The effective pixel count is 16.1-million. Optics: The Coolpix L820 digital camera uses a Nikkor glass zoom lens for superb image quality. Every aspect of the lens manufacturing process is controlled by Nikon. The Nikkor lens is designed for the specific camera and image sensor combination. The Coolpix L820 uses a 30x optical zoom, that is equivalent to a 22.5-675mm lens in 35mm photography. Coupled with the 4x digital zoom, the camera's total zoom capability is 120x. The angle of view is equivalent to that of approximately 2700mm lens (35mm format). Vibration Reduction (VR) Image Stabilization: The Coolpix L820's Vibration Reduction (VR) Stabilization System effectively corrects blur that commonly occurs when shooting at slow shutter speeds or when zoomed in. The camera utilizes a combination of lens-shift and electronic vibration reduction technology to reduce the effect of camera shake when recording still images. The camera uses the lens-shift method during movie recording. Built-in Memory: The camera has a built-in 65 MB internal memory for storing still images and movies with sound. Images will be saved to the internal memory when no memory card is inserted. Recording Media: In addition to the built-in memory, images can be recorded onto SD, SDHC, or SDXC Memory cards.

Images are recorded at a size of 1920 x 1080. Recording a 3D image is a two-step process. After taking the initial picture (left eye image), a second picture (right eye image) is taken automatically by moving the camera horizontally to the right until the subject is aligned with the guide on the monitor. To play back 3D images, you will need to connect the camera to the TV via a 3D-compatible HDMI cable. Only the initial (left eye) image can be viewed in the camera's monitor. Shooting Modes: You can choose one of the following shooting modes: Easy Auto Mode: The camera automatically determines an appropriate shooting mode when you frame a picture, allowing you to easily take pictures with a shooting mode that suits the scene. Easy Auto Mode scenes include: Portrait, Landscape, Night Portrait, Night Landscape, Close-up, Backlighting, and Other Scenes. Auto Mode: A mode used for general shooting. In Auto Mode, you can apply the macro mode and exposure compensation when shooting pictures. You can choose a flash mode and activate the self-timer. Scene Mode: You can manually or automatically select a scene mode with settings optimized for the shooting situation: Portrait, Landscape, Sports, Night Portrait, Party/Indoor, Beach, Snow, Sunset, Dusk/Dawn, Night Landscape, Close Up, Food, Museum, Fireworks Show, Black & White Copy, Backlighting, Easy Panorama, Pet Portrait and 3D Photography.Special Effects Mode: Effects can be applied to images when shooting. You can choose from the following special effects: High Key, Low Key, Soft, Nostalgic Sepia, High-contrast monochrome, and Selective Color. Smart Portrait: Using face priority to recognize human faces, the shutter is automatically released when a smile is detected. A skin softening option can smooth the skin tones in human faces. Continuous Shooting: You can set the camera to take one picture at a time or multiple images by selecting one of the following options: Single: The camera records one picture each time the shutter release button is pressed. Continuous H: While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 6 pictures are taken at a rate of about 8 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to 16M (4608 x 3456). Continuous L: While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 38 pictures are taken at a rate of about 2.1 frames per second (fps) when image mode is set to 16M (4608 x 3456). Continuous H 120 fps: Up to 50 frames are captured at a speed of about 1/120 seconds. (Image size is VGA 640 x 480) Continuous H 60 fps: Up to 25 frames are captured at a speed of about 1/60 seconds. (Image size is 1M 1280 x 960) Best Shot Selector: The BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-exposure. When BSS is on, the camera takes shots while the shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of ten. The images are compared and the sharpest picture is saved to the internal memory or memory card. Multi-Shot 16: Each time the shutter release button is pressed, the camera takes 16 consecutive "thumbnail" images at a rate of about 30 frames per second, and arranges them into a single 5M (2560 x 1920) image. Self-timer: The camera is equipped with a 10 second timer for self-portraits. Focus Area Selection: You can select between the following Focus Area Selection methods to determine where the camera focuses: Face Detection: When the camera recognizes a face (front view only), the camera will focus on the face automatically. The camera can recognize up to 12 faces depending on shooting and exposure mode. Center: The camera focuses on the subject in the center of the frame. Color Options: You can shoot still images with several color options: Standard color, Vivid color, Black-and-white, Sepia, and Cyanotype. Macro Mode: Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 0.4". The flash may be unable to light entire subject at distances of less than 1 feet 8 inches. Focus Lock: The Focus Lock feature is used to focus on off-centered subjects in the frame while shooting in Center AF mode. AF-Assist Illuminator: If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator may light to assist the focus operation when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The illuminator has a range of about 16' at the maximum wide-angle position and 16' at the maximum telephoto position. You can turn this function on or off, as desired. Blink Warning Function: The Blink Warning function is available when you are shooting in Easy Auto, Portrait, or Night Portrait mode. When the camera detects that one or more human subjects may have blinked, the blink warning screen is displayed. The subject is framed by a yellow border, allowing you to check the picture and decide whether or not to take another picture. Exposure Compensation: You can alter the exposure from the value suggested by the camera, making pictures brighter or darker. You can adjust the exposure from -2.0 to +2.0 EV in 1/3 steps. ISO Settings: Sensitivity is the measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. The camera features ISO settings of Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. White Balance: You can set the White Balance to Auto, Daylight, Incandescent, Fluorescent, Cloudy, or Flash. You can also choose Preset Manual and use a neutral-colored object as a reference to set the white balance under unusual lighting conditions. Built-in Flash: The Coolpix L820 has a built-in Speedlite flash with a range of 1'-8" to 19' (Wide angle) and 5' to 19' (Telephoto).

The set was scheduled to be released in 2012, no such luck. Any idea on why it never came out? Was looking forward to building it.

So sad.
I just checked the LEGO website out of the same curiosity and they seem to have the Leaning Tower of Pisa for 21015 but they have the image for Sungnyemun 21016 I think they might be updating the page right now. I can't wait to build the Tower of Pisa!

Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3/4 cup
white sugar
1/4 cup
vegetable oil
3/4 cup
canned pumpkin
1/4 cup
1 1/2 cups
all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon
baking powder
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
1/4 teaspoon
ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon
1/4 teaspoon
ground nutmeg
1/2 cup
semisweet chocolate chips
I also thought muffins came out rather bland so I made a few alterations. I would recommend substituting the white sugar with packed light brown sugar; increasing the spices to 1 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 tsp ground ginger, and 1/2 tsp nutmeg (I did not have any pumpkin spice or ground cloves); and increasing the pumpkin puree to 1 cup. These changes produced more flavorful muffins.
They Could Of used a bit more pumpkin.

I made these and they were a big hit!! The people at the party I took them to claimed I had put an addictive substance in them :-)
I used packed dark brown sugar instead of white, I used 1 cup of pumpkin instead of 3/4 cup, and I doubled the cinnamon and nutmeg.
I also made them into mini muffins, so I used mini chocolate chips. cooking the minis for 15 minutes worked well.
This was a great recipe although me and some of my taste testers thought there was too much chocolate chip. I think I will try mini chocolate chips or chocolate shavings next time. Also, I "wetted" the chips then put them in with the flour mixture before mixing in with the wet. This coated them and helped to prevent the chocolate from falling to the bottom. These muffings are also wonderful with homemade cream cheese frosting!
oops one more thing, I found 400 was too high and burned the outside. 375 for 20 minutes was perfect.
I doubled this recipe to make 2 dozen muffins. I made the following changes to the recipe: applesauce in place of the oil, I used the entire can of pumpkin and the whole bag of chocolate chips. I also just used PAM spray rather than liners or shortening + flour in the pans. I followed the other reviews and only set the oven to 350. They were done in 20 minutes and tasted fabulous!
I love these muffins! I make them two different ways: exactly as in the recipe (except maybe with a little more pumpkin) and with cream cheese. Put half the normal amount of batter in each muffin cup, then add a dollop of cream cheese with a little bit of sugar added and finally put the rest of the batter on top. Bake as the recipe states. The muffins come out with a little surprise in the middle!
I just finished making a batch of these and they turned out fantastic. I did, however, make some modifications. Instead of oil, I used apple sauce to cut down on the fat (you can't even tell there's no added fat!). I also added about 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice. I would definately make these again!
These are very tasty. Suggest doubling the recipe, since a can of pumpkin contains at least 1 1/2 cups- that way, you're not wasting the pumpkin. Replaced oil for apple sauce and are very moist! Always a request from my husband and co-workers.

The Foundation for Criminal Justice preserves and promotes the core values of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and the American criminal justice system. Ongoing and recent projects supported by the FCJ include an unprecedented study of obstacles to restoration of rights and status after conviction; a conference to identify concrete and easily-achieved solutions to racial disparities in the criminal justice system; an ongoing series of events to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark Gideon v. Wainwright decision; free trainings for lawyers on a variety of topics including representing juveniles accused of wrongdoing and individuals facing immigration-related collateral consequences of conviction; and efforts to improve indigent defense in federal and state courts.
The Foundation for Criminal Justice will hold its 2015 awards dinner on July 24, 2015, on Privacy in the Digital Age: Freedom, the Fourth Amendment, and the Future. The Fourth Amendment is the starting place in the work to protect privacy and individual liberty. By sponsoring this event, you stand with the Foundation for Criminal Justice in its fight to protect privacy in the digital age. Learn more about the event.
The Foundation for Criminal Justice held its 2014 awards dinner on August 1, celebrating Liberty's Last Champions™, Guardians of the Constitution. The work of the foundation is only possible because of the tens of thousands of criminal defense lawyers across the country who dedicate their careers to guarding the fundamental protections of the Constitution.
Here are some highlights of the event.
Learn more about the event.
The Foundation for Criminal Justice sponsored Criminal justice in the 21st Century: Eliminating Racial and Ethnic Disparity in the Criminal Justice System in partnership with NACDL and other partners. This groundbreaking project brought together leading experts from all corners of the criminal justice system over two conferences to identify effective and practical solutions to end racial and ethnic criminal justice disparities. Articles from the two conferences appeared in The New York University Journal of Legislation & Public Policy and in a series of articles published in The Champion, in addition to a three-part podcast series.
Learn more about the project.
NACDL's Domestic Drone Information Center provides a one-stop source of cutting-edge information on the proliferation of drones inside the United States. It collects news from leading publications across the nation; features a comprehensive listing of legislative developments; and contains sections devoted to relevant case law, scholarship, upcoming events, and data on drone usage. The Domestic Drone Information Center also aggregates existing material from other websites, making it a launching pad to additional information about domestic drones on the web. This project was made possible in part by support from the Foundation for Criminal Justice.
Visit the Center.
With support from the Foundation for Criminal Justice, NACDL published a collection of individual downloadable documents that summarize for each U.S. state the key doctrines and leading court rulings setting forth constitutional and statutory limits on lengthy imprisonment terms and other extreme (non-capital) sentences.
Read about the project.
The Foundation for Criminal Justice is funding NACDL's Task Force on the Restoration of Rights and Status After Conviction. The Task Force is currently holding hearings across the United States to look at the legal mechanisms used to restore rights and status, such as pardons, expungements, and certificates of good conduct. Following these hearings, the Task Force will produce a report identifying best practices, and specific legislative and policy proposals to facilitate restoration of rights and status after completion of sentence.

In partnership with NACDL and other allies, the FCJ supports indigent defense reform in several states and in the federal system. The FCJ's efforts to ensure the right to counsel include support for projects including impact litigation, academic conferences on the status of the right to cousnel, developing research, reports and resources for stakeholders and reformers, and other projects. The FCJ also supports NACDL's Indigent Defense Reform and Litigation Fund.
FCJ support enabled the release of several major reports on various issues that contribute to the indigent defense crisis in America. These reports and others can be found at www.nacdl.org/reports. Some specific examples include:
The FCJ is also funding a number of NACDL projects designed to address sentencing reform after the Supreme Court's decisions in Graham v. Florida and Miller v Alabama. Both decisions are landmark events in juvenile justice; the Graham holding that no juvenile defendant can be sentenced to life without parole for a non-homicide offense, and Miller banning mandatory life-without-parole sentances for juvenile offenders. With support from the FCJ, NACDL has conducted multiple online trainings aimed at individuals who represent juveniles in adult court.
View recent trainings.
The FCJ supported scholarships that allowed over 50 immigration faculty, immigration experts, public defenders, trainers of trainers, and similar candidates to attend a March 2014 seminar on collateral consequences of conviction that included immigration-specific parallel programming.
This seminar followed the FCJ's and NACDL's other efforts in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Padilla v. Kentucky that lawyers must advise clients of possible immigration-related collateral consequences of conviction. Shortly after the decision, the FCJ suppoted the creation of a series of free, live web trainings on implications of the decision. Sessions focused on an overview of current and emerging issues, drug offenses, and domestic and violence cases.
Additionally, and with support from the FCJ, NACDL and the National Legal Aid and Defender
Association (NLADA) co-hosted a convening of leading defense lawyers,
law professors, and other stakeholders to discuss the impact of the

Comments On Oct 09, 2014:I got caught in a rain storm, about 2 1/2 inches of rain in less than an hour, by the time I got home I was soaked, except where my rain jacket was. This jacket kept out 99% of the rain. It folds up extremely small for storage too. So far it seems durable on street and trail riding.

HtgEngineer is 100% right. If you don't want to listen to him OK go ahead - on your head be it.
Elsewhere there is a qualified industrial electrician arguing that because he's qualified to spec and fit 3 phase heavy electrics then he can do a 20A radial off a domestic CU for his mate. He can't 'cos he's not a registered DI and he'll be breaking the law if he does.
Having said that I agree with you 100% that there are some peeps out there who have all the pieces of paper under the sun but their actual work frequently needs rectification.
Such is life in red tape Britain!!

Harry is an engineer who has worked for about 30 years in the area. His start in this comedy thing was more of a gag with his son who both signed up for Alchemy's Improv 101. Then he grows up, becomes a doctor and moves away. Damn kid! But Harry had so much fun with improv that he just kept doing it. Laugh with him, laugh at him, just please don't throw anything.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 15, 2010) - The ETSU men's soccer team defeated Jacksonville 1-0 Friday night at Summers-Taylor Stadium as the Bucs got an early goal from senior Guilherme Reis (Belo Horizonte, Brazil).
"This was an important conference match with potential playoff implications," said head coach Scott Calabrese. "We started tentatively, but after we scored we grew in confidence and played very well in the remainder of the first half. In the second half, Jacksonville really pushed us for the equalizer, but we were able to grind out the result and get the all-important three points."
Both teams were held below their average shot attempts in the contest as the Bucs (8-4-0, 3-2-0 A-Sun) outshot the Dolphins (6-6-1, 1-3-0 A-Sun) 8-4 in the contest putting four on frame. Sophomore Ronnie Hreha (Asheville, N.C.) picked up his second shutout of the season as the ETSU defense played stout keeping JU from putting a shot on net.
Early in the first half ETSU was awarded a penalty kick as a JU defender fouled sophomore Alesi Osorio (Austin, Texas) in the 8-yard box. Reis stepped up and converted the penalty kick putting the Bucs up 1-0 in the 16th minute as he sent a shot into the left side of the net past Jacksonville's Zach Greenwald.
The score remained 1-0 at the break despite a couple good looks from the Bucs late in the first half as ETSU held an 8-3 advantage in shots in the half.
In the second half, the game became very physical as five cautions were given in the half. The Dolphins had the lone shot in the period as the Buccaneer back line picked up the intensity cutting off a couple scoring chances for JU late in the match.
The Bucs return to action on Sunday at 2 p.m. as they close out the A-Sun home slate against North Florida. For more information on ETSU men's soccer and all other Buccaneer athletic news please visit www.ETSUBucs.com.

Outfit inspiration can come from just about anywhere — like when we spot Suri Cruise in her posh peacoats and baby Vivier buckle flats (she has to have multiple walk-in closets, right?) or Zuma and Kingston Rossdale in punked-up color-blocked little numbers, we'll admit we steal a few wardrobe cues. Hey, we may stand several feet taller than these Tinseltown tykes, but we're so not above copping their small-fry style! Whether they have help from their mamas' dressing departments or just have that innocent, effortless personal style that lends itself so well to street shots will forever remain a mystery. But one thing is certain: The apples obviously don't fall too far from the plush VIP trees.
To give you a mini, aww-worthy Friday treat, we went on stroller patrol to bring you this super-cute roundup of our favorite sartorially savvy squirts. Get ready to gush, folks … and pine for some adult-sized hand-me-downs!

You get the impression that Brian Kelly has learned how to deal with the necessary evils of serving as the football coach at Notre Dame. Maybe he secretly embraces, what he terms "the noise," surrounding the supposed no-longer-relevant program, but he won't admit to loving the attention, but he does acknowledge it.
In his first two seasons in guiding the Fighting Irish, Kelly felt the spotlight growing brighter with each defeat. However, during this season, it's been the exact opposite. His team has gone unscathed through its first five games and is now ranked seventh nationally, and the spotlight is white-hot.
The Irish will host 17th-ranked Stanford on Saturday (NBC, 3:30 p.m.) and the cast of ESPN's College GameDay will be on hand broadcasting from the South Bend campus.
"You want to be in that group of football programs that has College GameDay on your campus," Kelly said. "You want to be that program that appeals to the audience that we are out recruiting."
Therein lies Kelly's mission for building this football program. He isn't so concerned about what he, a 50-year-old enjoys, but what the future of the program (nationally-rated recruits) finds appealing about South Bend.
Kelly has made – in some ways quietly and other ways publicly – his opinions known to the university about bucking some traditions and moving forward in order to become "cool" with the younger generation.
He has had the gold on the helmets brightened. The game day atmosphere at Notre Dame Stadium now includes the music of Ozzy Osbourne (approximately every 17 seconds), and last Saturday the biggest change of all – the wacky and wild unveiling of new uniforms (only to be worn once, thankfully).
"You saw those uniforms," Kelly explained on Sunday, "we got great feedback from those."
All of these changes heighten the awareness of the Irish program with the youth of America, and that increase in exposure is seemingly just fine with Kelly.
"We're excited about the spotlight being here in South Bend," Kelly said. "But I'll work diligently to keep our guys on task."
That has been a chore of late, as Notre Dame has been featured on a recent cover of Sports Illustrated, as well as serving as the subject of an upcoming piece produced by NFL Films.
That latter organization has spent the past 10 days trailing the Irish players in workouts and practice and Kelly says it is business as usual for this storied program.
"It's a life in the day of the Notre Dame football program," Kelly said. "It's kind of business as usual, but having said that, we'll have to remind 18- to 21-year-olds about how they got here."
The exposure is abundant and intense, but thus far through Notre Dame's rise through the national polls, Kelly said that his players haven't gotten too full of themselves yet, so all has been good to this point.
"You want to be in that in crowd," Kelly said. "You don't want to be on the other side looking in. All of those things are great."

- Implementing a Lake Ontario LaMP Biodiversity Conservation Strategy (PDF) (38pp, 4.2MB) April 2011
The key elements of the Lake Ontario LaMP's Binational Biodiversity Conservation Strategy are:
- integration of action priorities into existing programs and "place-based" planning activities especially within key watersheds, an activity best done by local governments and organizations
- regional coordination of lakewide scale biodiversity monitoring and restoration activities.
Given the enormous amount of work needed to restore and protect Lake Ontario's biodiversity, the LaMP recognizes that the key to success lies in our ability to build and foster cooperative partnerships throughout the Lake Ontario basin. To that end, we ask that you consider the strategies and key steps outlined in this report as you plan and undertake activities to restore and protect Lake Ontario's biodiversity.

Is something like this acceptable or is it frowned upon?
String newsSymbol
It just looks strange to me, but it's the best way to describe what the variable is and the data it will hold. I could rename it to something like
String articleSymbol
but then I'd have to rename a whole other bunch of variables.
What are your thoughts? Yay or nay?

text: Seen a link yesterday but cant seem to find it. What do you think of this if they do end up trading for him? I think it broadens their play calling even more. They love the TE sets with Hernandez/Gronkowski which would make them focus on covering them leaving the flats open for MJD to do his thing.
