What is it to be Fearless ?
The Idea of living life at the whim of other people seems to me to be a very scary proposition. Therefore through my understanding of both this video and my personal experience ,the idea of being fearless to ask for help seems to be a necessary part of life.

Mar 4 2013: In one of Life's many Paradoxes, I believe that Fearlessness is closely tied to Vulnerability. When I self-shame about my vulnerabilities, when I hide them, I am full of fear. Once I release, and embrace and share my vulnerabilities I find I am actually more Fearless. When I release, I gain. Scary as HELL, yet totally worth it.

True fearlessness, a complete absence of fear, would be a crippling, if extremely short lived, aberration. The first traffic intersection or junkyard dog would sort things out pretty quickly. Fear is an ingrained response we have KEPT in our make-up because it has been invaluable time and again, thus becoming integral through our own evolution. Despite the fact that that fight-or-flight response can now manifest itself as stress, we have not lost it as it STILL serves us in good stead on a daily basis. Take the short-cut home? Throught THAT neighborhood? It is so naturally ingrained that the myriad catastrophes that would have otherwise befallen you remain countless because they never happened, yet you all seem so ready to devolve away from this tool of instinctual survival...
Much as I loved Amanda Effin' Palmer's talk (which was truly about embarrasment rather than fear, and no, I don't think they ARE the same), Karen's talk was much more in line with my thinking. Know it, own it, understand it, work through it, but lose it?
No way.
True fearlessness is a form of stupidity. The human brain does not finish forming until 25 in women, 28 in men (that's right ladies, we ARE more immature and a bit dumber). The last part to gel up? Risk/reward analysis. Most humans are not good at it to begin with, but when a bunch of twenty-somethings (or younger) are telling you "go ahead, it's fine, what could happen?" it is good to have possession of this fact, and be afraid... be very afraid...
I do some public speaking and like Vickie have gone through periods of doubt and increased fear, but I can own that now, work it, turn it and make my talks better through that channeled energy. Like Tim, I now like my previous fear so much I have become a radio host; a LOOOONG way from cowering off-stage before talking to a handful of folks. Own it, use it, but don't lose it...
Mar 16 2013: I believe you're wrong.. I have come to achieve true fearlessness.
Having it inhibits action. Fear delays response. Without fear you can make decisions based on logic and personal well being. Without fear I have no embarrassment and have confidence and better attention.
You say don't lose fear? Fear is the enemy to willpower. Think, if you started public speaking without fear in the first place, you wouldn't have to overcome it, would you?
If you have a mouse in your house, fear could stop you from getting it out. If you have a snake in your house and you don't have fear, you think logically and call an exterminator without all of the extra.
What is the reason for fear. Why do we need? If I know I could possibly die today, and soon will die, and that there are way worse going on in the world than the things that are happening to me, then what is the reason for fear?

You are correct that I started my speaking career with a good deal of trepidation, often literally sick to my stomach with fear. I didn't let it paralyze me, i rationalized what was the worst that could happen? and I did it. The next time was a little easier, etc. etc...
I STILL have the vestiges of that fear EVERY time I speak or do the radio show. Like that tail we don't use anymore, or that thumb left over in bblue whales. But not really. Those two examples are now useless, but I make my fear serve me now. What was nervous energy that was once channeled toward projectile vomitting and stammering, is still nervous energy, now channeled toward energetic presentation and the focus that fight-or-flight can give you...
I lived with a snake in my house once for years; more importantly for the point, so did my wife. Not a little thing; an Eastern Black Racer all of six feet. It was an old farmhouse with a cobbled foundation that had seen better decades, and anything and everything could get in. Becky fears snakes in a BIG way, but I convinced her he was doing more good than bad. She got to a point where she would sit on our back porch with the morning coffee with our "pet", shivering with fear, but getting to know our neighbor so chance encounters would not stop her heart. For years this went on.
Then the handy man (we were renting the house) came out of the basement one day crowing, "look what I killed!" I knew before I rounded the corner who it was, and the handyman was stunned that I showered him with a lecture rather than praise. Sure enough, within a month, that old famhouse was literally overrun with rodents, from an army of field mice to some actual rats. We moved the next month...
Courage is not a lack of fear; courage is fearing and still doing. My wife is a brave soul, who happens to be scared of snakes, but that does not define her. She is more than her fears, but less without them..

Mar 5 2013: Fear is instinct from prehistoric times it is not a bad thing except for certain situations it releases hormones am gets your body ready and even make you see better to conquer this you must simply use your cognitive mind to over power your primitive or in some cases it's the other way around

Jim Penner
Mar 4 2013: It's about smashing societal norms and realising that just because everyone thinks something doesn't make it right. I loved Amanda's talk since I am a true believer in asking for things as well. Since I was 11 years old and I was delivering newspapers I had to go collecting for money, and sometimes you were abused and treated badly, and ever since then I have not had a fear in asking for business, for referrals, for dates, etc.

Mar 3 2013: Fearless is admitting you are afraid but knowing you must and will move beyond the feeling to get where you ultimately want to go.
- +3
Mar 5 2013: No.
That's being brave or courageous.
Why don't people go by what the word means?
It means to be without fear.
Without fear, means there is nothing or not a reason to be afraid.
Fearless, does not mean being brave or as you put it, "admitting you are afraid but knowing......."
You cannot be fearless, if you are already afraid.
You can "act fearlessly" but that is not the same. That again, is being brave.
Barry Palmer
Mar 2 2013: Like many conversations about fear, your opening statement does not distinguish between rational fear and irrational fear. Rational fear saves lives and deters us from foolishness. Irrational fear is worthless.
- +3
In the last few years I have hit four deer on the local highways, causing many thousands of dollars of damage. Every time I drive down a highway I am afraid that a deer will jump in front of me again. This fear is rational and keeps me alert. There is nothing wrong with this rational fear, so I do not want to live fearless.
Being fearless to ask for help seems normal to me. I do not understand this fear, and to me it seems irrational and worthless. Professionals understand their own limitations and know when to ask for help.
Vickie Patik
Mar 5 2013: Fear is so emotionally and physically difficult to handle, we try to overcome it, hide it, deny it, beat it with a stick, shame ourselves out of it and avoid it. But as a DNA-coded mechanism for survival, fear acts not only as a warning system but, I have discovered, as a friend and guidance system as well.

When I was a performer, stage fright gripped me. Initially I loved being on stage, but eventually I became fearful, with attendant diarrhea, shakes and memory lapse. But I learned through a 2-year acting course to become comfortable on stage again. By constant repetition I was able to adapt to the horrible feeling of walking a tightrope without a net. I was able to channel the adrenaline to enhance performance. I went from wanting to be the last one to go on stage to do a scene, to wanting to go first to get it over with, to wanting to go first so that I could do my thing without having to wait around.
Most importantly, I realized that the choices I most feared were the very ones I HAD to make in order to develop my skills. In this improvisational class, whatever scene or character I could imagine that made me feel uncomfortable was the very scene/character I HAD to do. By allowing my fear to inspire my choices, I grew in confidence. Fear became my friend and guide.
Now, I never sat in a boat waiting to invade a country, watching my fellows blown apart as they tried to go ashore (D-day). I can't imagine being 17 and facing THAT fear. But even soldiers say that over time their fear subsides. Age also seems to mitigate fear... we all know people in their 80s who say any damn thing they want with impunity. Their body chemistry has changed for sure, which may be one explanation, and they are on their way out, so what have they got to lose?
Fear is amazing. Fearlessness is awesome. And both seem to be necessary for life.
Roger King
Mar 5 2013: "The past has no power over me" I love saying repeatedly this affirmation so i can live in the now. For me i am in fear or love and I choose love. Love of self, love for me is the miracle cure. LOVING OURSELVES WORKS MIRACLES IN OUR LIVES AND FOR THE PEOPLE WE ATTRACT INTO OUR LIVES.
- +3
Love is about APPRECIATION to such a degree that it fills my heart to overflowing and whatever direction i go in life i can feel love for the process of the mind, our bodies, animals, vegetation, the universe, knowledge another person, our sexuality, and just the miracle of being alive and not fearing death as i see i am on a continuous journey. Thank you www.rogerking.infoMar 10 2013: I know what you mean about stage fright, & using your fear. It's something I've thought about a lot, and something I encounter almost daily. And will encounter more in the years to come. I will work as a professional Tandem Skydiving Instructor, and have spent the last 3 years watch people take their first leap, trusting nylon and string, and some guy they met 20 minutes ago to save their life.
If there is one thing I know of fear, it's that everyone reacts to it differently. Some people face it with determination, some with the thrill of exhilaration, some completely shut down. Some people react hysterically, and like a drowning person, can bring both people into extremely dangerous situations. Even so, it's the ones that show no fear that we as skydivers fear the most. For they lack any sense of vulnerability.
Having watched the tens of thousands of first skydives that I have, I really have to conclude that can not be a a true state of fearlessness. Courage, yes, and bravery, but not fearlessness. Fear works like interference... It stops us from getting where you need to go, but it is necessary, and should be welcomed, as a positive indicator of danger, and that you are still alive.
You don't have to have jumped out of a plane to see this. Most people's biggest fear is public speaking. You can see it when you watch people get ready to go on stage. Some people face the crowd with determination, some with exhilaration, and some completely shut down. But the ones that shut down never get to experience the vulnerability, the audience's appreciation, the confidence in knowing that you will never let your fear control your destiny. Your life is not in the hands of the great unknown, but in your own.
The art of asking is something we should all appreciate. Asking for tips as a waiter (or skydiving instructor), asking your boss for a raise, asking your crush out for coffee or tea or dinner. Asking is about being vulnerable, & being vulnerable is about being alive.Mar 3 2013: Well,
To be fearless, is to be without fear.
To be brave, is to have fear and face whatever one is afraid of anyway.
Some think fear is good. Some do not.
Some say fear is an acronym: F alse E vidence A ppearing R eal
Fear is always something to face and walk through.
Many times we are afraid because we fear the unknown.
In other words, we don't know what the outcome will be.
But, look at the word "outcome".
Break it in half and put "come" before "out".
If we face and walk through what we are afraid of, we will usually "come" - "out" the other side.
I think most people don't really trust what it is they say they believe in.
For instance, if one believes in a God, do they ever become afraid?
If so, what does being afraid mean?
Two ways of living life, both doomed for failure.
One: live life according to how other people tell you you should live.
Two, try to get other people to behave the way you want them to so that your life works out.
I don't agree that being totally fearless is being dead.
It may lead to death, but death is not necessarily something to fear at all.
Again, for those who believe in a God, trusting that should come before fearing or avoiding death.
Avoiding death could be avoiding God. Who knows?
Mar 3 2013: Very well put!Mar 10 2013: I don't think it's possible to be totally fearless. To not show fear, perhaps, which is to deny that they are vulnerable. Which from my limited experience, usually results in getting injured, if not killed. To embrace your vulnerability; recognize the fear is there and move through it, is something else entirely. That is bravery. It is not brave to be fearless, only foolish.Mar 2 2013: Great topic to discuss! Here is what I think of being fearless.
To be fearless is to be vulnerable, to be open, willing to share without expectation, willing to ask without expectation, and willing to receive without expectation and dwell in the JOY of being.
Mar 29 2013: Hope you are thinking of Brené Brown's talk about vulnerability.Mar 25 2013: Someone suggested fear is 'ingrained.'
You don't remember being one year old, do you?
All fear is taught. Our culture does a great job doing this.
I have found some of the people in the world with 'less' fear, are the ones who are, by society's standards, broken.
They can't read very well. They can't sit still. They avoid crowds, loud noises, spend a lot of time by themselves, interpreting the world on their own, with no real inputs. They have hearing or seeing difficulties. And they make it through BETTER than most...
Because they were never 'taught' to fear.
Thank you.
Amanda, you rock.

Mar 6 2013: ......To have the COURAGE to be one's own whole SELF despite dogma.....Mar 5 2013: Indeed. Growing up in England in the 50s and 60s as a working class grammar school boy asking for help was considered "bad form" . In class admitting ignorance was a sign of weakness so you shut up and muddled through. Often if you did you were ridiculed both by teacher and pupils. i was scared to ask for help. This carries through to adult life. It appears to me that this "not asking" is endemic in western society, at least. How can we change? By watching the videos and then DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT! I now have a "Donate" buttons on my activist site. http://GodKnows.info thank you

Mar 4 2013: Isn;t being frealess simply being prepared to make whatever sacrifice is necessary to achieve the outcome? Tackling the unknown, standing down adversity, overcoming the odds, leading the charge, these all demonstrate courage, determination, perseverance, and risk taking. Those who are fearless, acknowledge the risks, the probabilities, but recorgnize the prize is worth taking.

Mar 3 2013: When we understand who the "We" are, we experience Fearlessness....along with a few other things :-)Mar 3 2013: Some people see it, face it and step around it. Fear is an emotion that can be managed. Those who do it well or at least appear to do it well, why, others call them "Fearless". They are courageous but "fearless"? No one can honestly claim to be so. I will concede to fearless actions. Something so often practiced, it becomes fear free.Mar 31 2013: Yes, I have watched Brené's talks and of course it has influenced me greatly. Thank you for pointing it out.

I am always confronted by the label "FEAR" that my mind creates. To me fear emanates from sense of potential invalidation/loss of certainty (our existence, our identity, our wellbeing, our social context, our hidden limitations - and many other existential matters). When I am willing to cross the boundary of certainty into uncertainty of my existential matters and identities, and live with the joy of just being , I have transcended the fear. I have yet to do that :-). I do not know if and when I will be able to - but admission of living in fear MAY be the first step towards the boundary.
When I watched Amanda Palmer's talk, and many others, I could feel them transcend the boundary of desire for certainty and uncertainty, or, just being. This fascinates me, and reminds me of when I observed with marvel how someone dives in the pool. I wanted to have the same experience of exhilaration but I was unwilling to do out of the "fear" of crossing the boundary of life and no-life. I continue to wish that I can gather the courage to transcend this boundary in many different faculties of my life, and experience the JOY of being.Mar 30 2013: If you fear less you are less scared.Mar 30 2013: Adrenaline junkies consider themselves fearless.Mar 30 2013: It is to be Jet-Li................. In the movie fearless.Mar 30 2013: InsecureMar 29 2013: There are actually two ways of being fearless: the first consists in having never known fear, the second is to overtake your fear.
The first option seems barely possible to me. Fear is a visceral emotion that comes from very deep and occurs whenever you feel unsafe or threatened. Not knowing it would imply that you are not receptive to signs that are external to you, or that your whole life has been sugar-coated to a barely plausible level — given that most of kids experience fear the first times when their mother or father or whomever is in charge of them disappear.
Fearing is part of being a human capable of feelings.
So, second option : overtaking your fears. I tend to think that to overtake a fear you must start by knowing it. The fear of failing is not the same as the fear of getting hurt or the fear of height or of being abandoned, etc. Once you identify what makes you fear something, then you can try seriously to overtake it. Yet if overcoming some of your fears might be very useful, eg the fear of failing, I feel that fear is a very useful emotion when it comes to survival, for instance.
So, not all fears are bad. Maybe we should chose wisely which one we want to overtake.Mar 24 2013: Being fearless is being ignorant. However this doesn't mean to let yourself be controlled by your fears. Everyone has fears, everyone gets scared, the idea is to be able to think and act without being influenced by those fears.Mar 22 2013: The only way to be fearless is to die. Fears co-exist with us: fear of disappointment, fear of rejection, fear of dying, fear of crying, fear of strangers, fear of humiliation, fear of embarrassment, fear of loss, fear of being different and the list never ends. What is important is how to overcome our fears, or simply accept them.Mar 19 2013: To be fearless is to be in complete control of the past, the future, and the present.
Mar 22 2013: That is not possible dear. You can never be in control of your past, your present and your future. The only way to be fearless is to die.Mar 7 2013: NumbMar 7 2013: Fear is a truth, even it were to be a single truth it can manifest in many forms!Mar 6 2013: To let loose.Mar 2 2013: It is natural to fear; It is courage that makes us move forward despite our fear. To be totally fearless is to be dead.

A People's Space Movement
A people's space movement
Let us put forth an aggressive agenda to dramatically increase the number of everyday people going into space so that we can at last take on the challenge of becoming a true spacefaring world.
In 1969 we sent men to the moon with ancient technology. Today we have vastly more advanced computers and vastly more advanced composite materials, vastly more advanced rockets. Access to space does not need to be so damned expensive. It has been so only due to the short-sighted greed of the aerospace industry. Yes, space has its dangers, but so too has air travel. Yes, people have died in spaceflight but, so too have people died on every highway in the country. Have we stopped the automobile? No we have not. We continued on and that we must do in space. We should continue onward and upward... to the moon... to the edge of the solar system... to the nearest stars.
We should open our eyes and hearts and minds and take our time and resources to forge boldly toward the high frontier. Let us create a space industry investment pool to pay the bills, let us tell congress to support expanding space initiatives or we will vote them out, let us create a High Frontier University to teach the youngest and the brightest that there are great dreams worth living and dying for... but we will not die. If we have vision and if we have courage, we will flourish. If we do not move more of us on the fantastic adventure of life in space we will follow the path of the dinosaurs. We will fade and slowly wither away. But that is not what humanity was meant to do. We were meant not to just look but to go beyond the next mountain, to climb ever higher, to bequeath to our children and theirs a destiny beyond measure.
Let us not bemoan the negative; any expert can tell you why it will not work. All impossible things were impossible until someone found a way. The universe is our playground... We belong to the universe and the universe belongs to us. Your ideas are welcome as is your support.
David Lyttle
Jun 27 2013: Lets assemble a list of reference materials. Books and videos about the design, building, testing and launching of space crafts.

Jul 2 2013: Hey David, good job taking a step forward.
And I think I know a couple of people who are knowledgeable on this subject.
Also, if u want i could present this idea on TEDx. I'll be attending a couple of them this year and more next year.
What do u say?Jul 23 2013: Ok we have come to the end of the conversation... well in 16 hours and handful of minutes. So if any one out there wants to carry on this concept email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Otherwise, adiosJul 10 2013: Comments anyone?Jul 9 2013: Lets think for a moment... Imagine what the world would be like today if we hadn't stopped going to the moon in 1972. Imagine if NASA had launched just 2 moon landings a year since then. By now we would have had at a minimum, 124 men and women having walked on the lunar surface. And we would have gotten better and better at it. We would have developed bigger ships with longer staying times on the moon. We would have had outposts set up which would have lead to colonies and even cities. Some might grumble..."There was no reason to keep going to the moon. We collected enough moon rocks and besides we had other problems to spend our tax dollars on, other problems like the Vietnam War and... and ... and the war on drugs... and that pesky unemployment problem." Well to them I say, while the Vietnam war ran it's course, how successful have we been at solving those other problems? We still have the drug problem (It's worse) We still have rampant unemployment (it too is worse) Is our world a better place today for having stopped going to the moon? I must alas shake my head no in pity.
Now let us imagine what life on earth would be like if we were able to leave the planet at prices you can afford. Life would become an adventure...As Neil DeGrasse Tyson has often said, "Space Flight Makes Heroes!" We could have a world in which headlines speak of good news from the dark side of the moon; the inventions, the discoveries, all manner of cures for human ills. With enough medical progress, human longevity measured in dozens of decades or even longer become possible. And talk about jobs!Imagine the floodgates to prosperity kicked open and all the nations of the world joining hands to make it happen. Humanity unified... Brotherhood... new industries for solving old problems. Imagine negative rates of unemployment... We could have more jobs than we have people. Those who invest now can become the first multi-trillionares. So, let us dream big, start small maybe, but dream big.Jul 8 2013: Food for thought... sometimes we settle for doing things a certain way because that was the way we always did them before. Time to get out of the box. How can we get into space at a low cost? Should we try to invent a new way and do all that research or... should we find lower cost ways to do it the old way? The old V-2 Rocket fueled by alcohol and liquid oxygen could almost reach orbit with a one ton payload. What would it take to do that today? Want a new idea? I do have a few... Actually I have a bunch. Some are crazy (but they just might work.) and some are... well I think I'll hold off on them until I see more interest in this conversation... feels kinda one-sided.Jul 5 2013: So what ever happened to the over 400,000 people that helped put man (but no women) on the moon? Were they all shipped off to some remote island? Did they go to the moon and forget to tell the rest of us? Did they have any relatives? The lack of response from any of them is puzzling. Maybe they were all locked in the cellar by the women in their lives who were ticked off they never sent women to the moon.Jul 3 2013: I have found more videos on the microwave plasma experiment. The resulting plasma is super heated to around 9000 degrees so it routinely breaks the glass it is contained in. This needs more research. We need to finds materials that could withstand those high temperatures. A totomak reactor used high energy magnetic fields to contain the plasma it creates but that is too energy intensive. There must be another way. perhaps the thermal tiles used in the space shuttle? No reentry temps are only 3000 degrees... maybe we could remove the excess heat in some way. think... think...think. more research.Jul 2 2013: I was tempted to give it a rest for a day... but then if I don't speak up, who else will speak? I just saw an old tape I made of Boston Legal, years ago. After the show went off I apparently did some channel surfing and not finding anything I turned off the t.v. But I apparently did not turn off the VCR so I taped what ever was on the last channel I left the tv on. It was a show about mystery lights in the night sky near a mountain range. One theory was that the strange lights were related to a piezoelectric effect of the local granite sub surface rock formation. They also showed an interesting experiment where they lit a candle and put it into a microwave oven. Then they put a glass tube over the lit candle flame and turned on the microwave oven. The flame expanded and rose to the top of the glass container as a form of plasma. It was neat to watch. Until we do some research on this I urge you not to try it at home. but it is something that should be investigated... perhaps it is a new form of energy that could be tapped. I will do more research on it and report back but in the mean time...don't try it, ok?Jun 30 2013: Listen to this... Lets have a forum to amass ideas for low cost space launch systems. Just the ideas for now, only positive comments, supportive comments, suggestions as to how to improve the idea. NO NEGATIVE OBSERVATIONS! NO WISECRACKS LIKE "THAT"LL NEVER WORK!!!" Ideas are the stuff dreams are made. So lets get creative.
My idea for a low cost space launch system to orbit... here goes.
Remember the X-15? It had a quarter of the thrust needed to reach orbit.
Suppose we get a retired B-52. Suppose we build a space craft with light weight composites so that it's total fueled weight is maybe twice the weight of the x-15 with a crew cabin that can seat six. We give it four rocket engines to generate 2.4 million pounds of thrust. Fuel could be liquid O2 and alcohol/water like the V2. We put heat tiles on the underside. Make it a winged vehicle like the space shuttle to glide to a landing. We sling it beneath the belly of the B-52 which carries it to some appropriate high launching altitude. We launch it away and roar into orbit.
The shuttle was designed to carry 64,000 pounds to LEO. How much would our crew cabin have to weigh? 6 people at 200 pounds each, that's only 1,200 lbs. Add the weight of seats, padding, life support and viewports... maybe it gets up to 16,000 pounds. Hmmmmm. What would that launch cost be?
It could be beautiful... Imagine.
Soaring up above the horizon, entering a stable orbit, the mottled blue/green/brown and cloud-flocked globe silently gliding below us. And above, the diamond tracery of stars, the milky way and all of the rest of the universe. Look! There's the moon rising to join us. One full orbit, two, three times 'round planet earth. Our faces pressed to the viewports. We can hardly believe we are in space... but we are... and at prices you can afford. Are you game?Jun 29 2013: I am directing today's comment to former NASA and aerospace employees. I hope my earlier comments about price gouging were not taken personally. I hope you understand it was not an indictment against you. Those who fix the prices are in upper management. I would like to get your input as to what we can do to get things moving. Please join our conversation. Log in and weigh-in. Let us know what we can and should be doing. Give us leads, tell us who will invest. Are there any abandoned facilities we can use? Anything... just don't be silent.Jun 25 2013: I'm in.
You make strong valid points and I say we go forward with this initiative.
I'll help in every way possible to make this possible.
First we should start by discussing the agenda and the plans we need to take in the coming days.
I suggest a website, a blog, and social website pages to let people in on our plans and give our full efforts in this.
Jun 25 2013: Thank you. I am so relieved there is at least one other person on the planet who shares this vision. Numbers... we need numbers of people who think like we do to get this going. I like your ideas about a website and a blog to get this moviing. I would like to reach out to all the retired people who worked at NASA and the companies that built the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Space Shuttle. They may miss the good old days when the sky was not the limit. I am open to any suggestions for an agenda you may have.Jun 25 2013: "Access to space does not need to be so damned expensive. It has been so only due to the short-sighted greed of the aerospace industry."
Could you explain this claim? It seems like the aerospace industry would have the most to gain from an expanded space exploration agenda.
A lost of costs stem from heavy government regulation in addition to the mundane material costs. If you think a gallon/liter of gasoline is expensive, can you imagine the bill for rocket fuel?
Jun 25 2013: I had a conversation with a NASA employee a few years ago. I asked him why the cost to launch items on the space shutter was over $10,000 a pound. He said it is beause of the cost of every part of the shuttle. A single tire on the landing gear costs $600,000! I asked why and he said it was because of all the testing they must do. I can buy that for the first tire but every single tire? That is pure price gouging. Once you have the specifications for any shuttle part then the cost for each production part should come way down and it is only a matter of quality control. Imagine what the cost of an airline ticket would be if every tire on the airplane costs 600K. The companies that sell these parts would rather collect 600k as opposed to $89.95 per tire. I think there are cost reduction strategies that can bring down the cost to launch to the neighbhood of a dollar a pound, maybe two. As far as the cost of rocket fuel. we could use alternative energy sources like solar and wind power to produce electricity to produce hydrogen from water as a great cost savings. There are ways to do all this if we examine closely every cost item for less expensive alternatives.
Jun 26 2013: I believe that we can hugely reduce the cost of take-off.
Most companies and factories will put huge price-tags just for the cause that its being sent to space.
Isn't it strange that even after all these years, they couldn't come up with a specific kind of tire. Individual testing for every tire might not be necessary if a specific set is made. The same goes for all the million dollar body which could be easily reproduced, ditto to the original for a cheaper cost.
We might be wrong with our thoughts but unless someone explains me point-to-point why we need to spend so much on testing, I will not back down from this new found challenge.
Jun 26 2013: Absolutely. I suggest we examine the true cost of each component from the beginning of the space program to now. Lets compare the cost of everything and see what has been overpriced simply because it is space related


text: On espn.com, John Hollinger (who I already despised) ranks the Pistons as the 15th best franchise in the NBA. Now, only the top 10 are viewable without an insider pass (which I don't have), but he does say that they have had more all-stars than any team other than the Celtics or Lakers before the site blocks the rest of his article. Here are the rankings: No. 1: Los Angeles Lakers No. 2: Boston Celtics No. 3: San Antonio Spurs No. 4: Chicago Bulls No. 5: Phoenix Suns No. 6: Philadelphia 76ers No. 7: Utah Jazz No. 8: Portland Trail Blazers No. 9: Orlando Magic No. 10: Houston Rockets INSIDER No. 11: Indiana Pacers No. 12: Milwaukee Bucks No. 13: Oklahoma City Thunder No. 14: Miami Heat No. 15: Detroit Pistons No. 16: Dallas Mavericks No. 17: New York Knicks No. 18: Denver Nuggets No. 19: Cleveland Cavaliers No. 20: Golden State Warriors No. 21: Atlanta Hawks No. 22: New Jersey Nets No. 23: Washington Wizards No. 24: New Orleans Hornets No. 25: Sacramento Kings No. 26: Toronto Raptors No. 27: Minnesota Timberwolves No. 28: Charlotte Bobcats No. 29: Los Angeles Clippers No. 30: Memphis Grizzlies Now, this is why I hate Hollinger - all of his "stats" have way more subjectivity in them than he tends to admit. He comes up with some number with a decimal and everyone's supposed to take it as science. It's not - it's bad statistics. Here's what he said about his methodology: Okay, so here's the first problem - nobody really cares about the regular season when historically evaluating a team. It's the playoffs that matter, and you're about to see why this system undersells them. So, let's assume you make it to the finals and lose in seven. With four series and three series wins, you get... 26 points. That's HALF of what a 52 win team would get for the regular season alone. I know this word offends some people, but that's just plain retarded. Over the past 10 years, Detroit got 482 points for their season wins, but only 146+64+30 = 240 for its playoff success, which is just under half of the points it accumulated for the regular seasons. Meanwhile, Dallas had 563 points for its regular seasons, and 98+32=130 for its postseason mediocrity. This leaves Detroit in the lead, but only by virtue of their one championship. Having an all-star is worth as much as one playoff win, apparently, but this system is screwy anyway. And Dominique Wilkins? His 9 all-star appearances add a whopping 18 points over the course of nine years. If a team wins 50 games with a superstar, it's the same as winning 52 games without one. The point addition is so small compared to the regular season games won as to effectively marginalize the whole point of the all-star inclusion. Well, relocation is a loss for one city but a gain for another. Too much of a point loss. Again, I can't say for sure because I don't have that Insider pass, but Detroit probably lost 100 points for moving from Fort Wayne, even though they did it 53 years ago. Take that 100 points, spread it out over all 62 seasons, and you get a 1.61 point/season reduction, which drops them from 9th to 15th. Hey, look, even more subjective stats. I don't have Insider access, but it wouldn't surprise me that the Pistons got knocked down for playing slow, defensive basketball. At least he points out that it's subjective, but it's a manipulative to say that it's "the only category that's completely subjective." Somewhat arbitrarily deciding to assign points seems pretty damn subjective to me. I literally have no comment on this. So aside from all of these categories, why aren't recent seasons weighted more? The majority of their fanbase wasn't even around when Utah was the New Orleans Jazz and the Pistons were in Fort Wayne. If you're going to rank franchises, historical data certainly matters, but we're arguing about these franchises NOW. Also, points per season should be mitigated with total points; it's not fair to rank Orlando higher than Detroit because Detroit has been better than Orlando since they joined the league, but weighted down by years that Orlando didn't even exist. Detroit has had more regular season, playoff, and championship wins than Orlando in that time, and has had more all-star appearances. Yet Orlando is the better franchise because Detroit sucked in the 70's. Yeah, makes perfect sense. God I hate that guy.

DAWSON SPRINGS, Ky. (10/26/13) — A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to CLOSE the Interstate 69 northbound exit and entry ramps at the Dawson Springs KY 109 Exit 92 Interchange in Hopkins County starting Monday, October 28, 2013.
This closure of northbound ramps is to allow construction of ramp connections for the new I-69/KY 109 Interchange configuration.
The northbound ramps are expected to be closed for approximately 7 days for this work. During that time traffic from the Dawson Springs area will have to detour east on US 62 to Nortonville to travel northbound. Northbound I-69 traffic traveling to Dawson Springs will be required to travel US 62 eastward from Princeton. There will be no northbound access to or from Interstate 69 at Dawson Springs during this ramp work.
This closure date is tentative, pending weather and other factors. It is part of a reconstruction of the I-69 Dawson Springs KY 109 Exit 92 Interchange to bring it up to current Interstate standards. Again, the work is expected to take about a week to complete.

1 recipe
pastry for a 9 inch double crust deep dish pie
1/2 cup
packed brown sugar
1/4 cup
butter, melted
1/3 cup
all-purpose flour
5 cups
thinly sliced apples
2/3 cup
white sugar
3 tablespoons
all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons
ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon
lemon juice
caramels, halved
2 tablespoons
Everyone at my house loved this pie last year at Christmas. I was disappointed though, it was extremely runny. I am going to make it again this year, I am just going to cut back on the liquids. Even with it being runny though, it was very good!
UPDATE: after a few more years I think I have it perfected. Here's some of my hints: mix the apples you use (I use granny smith and jonathan apples- granny smith is important to control the sweetness). Cut down on the sugar and butter. Add an extra tbl or so of flour. With these changes the pie is no longer runny... Its just YUMMY
I made this pie last night. I loved the flavor but it was too runny. I let it cool about 40 minutes before we ate it. It was still warm but not hot. It was still runny when it was room temperature. If I make it again, I will cut the sugar in half so hopefully it will not be so runny.

This pie was incredibly delicious!...the filling was PERFECT..it didnt run out of the pie and definitly was perfect thickness. I did do a few things different considering reviews bout it being doughy/runny and i found that..its better to add 1 extra tablespoon of flour to that 3 tbsp of flour...just to thicken up the caramel. If your worried bout the pie getting doughy..prick forkholes all over pie and pre-bake in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. I also didnt use caramels...i used caramel dip and poured half the apples into the pie..then half of the caramel..then the apples and caramel again. I reduced the white sugar by half so the pie wasnt overkill on the sweet side and it was perfect. Also if you like ALOT of apples in your pie..use a cup more of apples. Instead of the top being a pastry (i thought would be a little bland) i used a great streusle topping ive been using on apple pies for years..heres the recipe if you want to use it too. make Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl combine 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon,1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 c brown sugar, 3/4 c oats, and 1 tea lemon peel. Mix thoroughly, then cut in 1/2 cup butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly.
pour over pie before baking and pat to seal ..make sure there are no openings where filling can seep through. bake, halfway till pies done..put tin foil on top and over edges of crust.
This recipe has become a family favorite. I've been making this for several years and have tweaked the recipe with the following adjustments: I use six cups of Granny Smith apples (usually seven apples) and 1/4 cup of flour. As for the caramels, I highly recommend Abdallah Vanilla Cream Caramels. These caramels are much softer than most caramels and are easy to cut into small pieces. I also sprinkle the top crust with sugar after brushing with milk. Bake the pie in a preheated 425 degree oven for 15 minutes and then lower the temperature to 375 degrees and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 30-35 minutes until golden brown. As a result of these changes, the pie is not too sweet and not runny.
This Pie has become my Favorite Apple Pie to make. I made it for a pre Christmas get together the other night of 4 women (figured they never eat much so a apple pie would be perfect) Before they were gone the entire pie was gone (and all I got was a tiny sliver to say that I actually know what it tastes like) Everyone loved it and wanted 2nds and a couple even 3rds. I was like WOW. I am always afraid people are just being polite but when they left I knew they loved the pie because they didn't stop talking about it (even called the next day to get the recipe) The only thing I did different this time around was I used the 6 cups of Apples as suggested by other users. I also used the T. Marzetti's Caramel Apple Dip instead of caramels (I am handicapped and anything that makes baking easier I will do so using the Apple Dip for me was easier) I also put a bit of sugar on the top of my pie crust after the milk just for decorative purposes (because a apple pie is not a apple pie unless it looks beautiful....although the first one I made I forgot the sugar that I always put on pies and it came out really golden brown and pretty without it but I personally just prefer the extra flair of sugar on Pie Crusts. Oh and I added a little bit of Cinnamon/sugar my Pie Crust Recipe ....it makes this Pie to die for. I had a recipe years ago that had cinnamon/sugar in the Pie crust...I lost it now but I always just add a bit to my pie crust and it makes all the difference in Apple Pies.
I only used granny smith apples, increased the flour to 4 Tablspoons, to make it less runny. I made 10 of these pies in 1 week, because I wanted to enter it into a contest. I did not win first place, but the reviews I got were all very good. Some thought the pie was too sweet. I did make one pie with 1/2 the amount of caramels, and then dropped some of the caramel dip over the top of the pie before adding the top crust. I also quartered the caramels. Any way I made this pie, it got rave reviews. Thank you for such a good recipe, it is a keeper, and will now be one I make each Thanksgiving.
This was the best apple pie I ever made! I usually don't like apple pie but this pie with its added caramel and taffy mixture made it great. One tip I thought I would share is to add premade caramel dip instead of caramel pieces. You don't have to worry about the caramel pieces melting completely this way. I just spoon it over the apples. If its too thick, a few seconds in the microwave will thin it enough to drizzle. I use about half of a 16 oz. carton.
OOOOHHH MMMMYYYY!!!! How delicious. I love apple season and this is by far my favorite pie I've made so far. I did mix 3tbsp lemon juice and 1 tbsp cornstarch in saucepan and simmered the cut up apples in that for 15 min until warmed. I did use only 1/2 cup white sugar and 1/4 cup flour for the apple mixture and I added a few squirts of vanilla and a few pats of butter on top of the apples as well. I skipped using caramels for all the reviews of the caramel not melting well-so I used the caramel apple dip that is next to all the apples in every store during this apple season and put dollops of that evrywhere. I can't say enough how delicious. Mine wasn't watery or soggy in the least-but beware- don't forget to seal pie because it does leak and don't forget the cookie sheet underneath. I also needed to bake mine for more like 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes.

Almond Pulp Chocolate Chip Cookies
After making almond milk, I can't bear to throw away the pulp that's left over when all of the love has been squeezed out. I've been drying the pulp in a low oven, and whizzing the clumps out of it in a coffee grinder. The result is a rather bland but probably quite healthy powder consisting mostly of the fiber from the almonds. It's taken a bit of experimenting to bake with as it as it doesn't absorb liquid the way 'normal' flours do.
So three unsuccessful recipe trials (one cakey 'blondie', one 'carrot puddingcake' and one cakier but unpalatably chewy carrot cake) later, I finally managed to bake some tasty cookies. I swapped a rather small amount of flour for a larger amount of almond flour and increased the amount of egg to make up for the lack of sticky glutens in the almond flour. I also used unrefined sugar in place of the white and brown, and even shamefully used grain-sweetened chocolate chips from Sunspire, which I really don't love the taste of, but wanted the bragging rights to say that the cookies contained no refined sugar. I also used whole spelt flour, making these cookies wheat-free as well.
This recipe is adapted from my favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe from Cook's Illustrated. I love it not only for being the best chocolate chip cookie recipe in existence, but also because the dough takes about 30 seconds to mix up. The butter gets melted, and the dough stirred by hand; no waiting impatiently for the butter to soften, or dragging out the mixer to cream the dickens out of it. My mixer lives on top of the fridge, and I am lazy enough to resist hoisting it down unless it is really, really necessary.
If you give the almond milk a go, save the precious pulp and try baking these cookies. Of course, nothing washes down warm, gooey cookies quite like a cold glass of vanilla-maple almond milk...
All things almond milk:
Banana-Berry Almond Milk Smoothie
Vanilla-Maple Almond Milk
(Raw, Vegan!) Chocolate Pudding
Almond Pulp Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes 1 1/2 dozen 2" cookies
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup (4 ounces) unrefined sugar (or use brown sugar)
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup whole spelt (or wheat) flour
1/3 cup almond flour (left over from making almond milk, dried in the oven and ground)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup chocolate chips
Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 325º. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flours, salt and baking soda. In a large bowl, whisk together the butter, sugar, egg and vanilla to combine. Gently stir the wets into the dries until almost combined, then fold in the chips to combine.
Scoop the cookies into 1" balls (I use the purple-handled ice cream scoop) and space 2" apart on the lined cookie sheets. Bake for about 12 minutes, rotating once, until puffed all over and just set around the edges. Let cool, then use a thin metal spatula to remove from the sheet.
These stay moist for several days after baking, stored in an airtight container.

Perfect :) I have a pile of soggy almond pulp sitting on my counter, and now I know exactly what I'm going to do with it!ReplyDelete

I just tried your recipe...t'was really good! Thank you so much.ReplyDelete
Hmmmm. I never thought to dry out the pulp! I made some cookies a few times last year using my leftover almond pulp wet. I may have to revisit that using this idea! And, try your version, too - of course.ReplyDelete
Oh, that's good to know- I'll peruse your site for recipes. The pulp poses a constant conundrum!ReplyDelete
I knew that I remembered seeing this recipe, but I forgot about the drying of the pulp... I made almond milk last week, and still have the pulp in the fridge. I'm thinking I'll try this recipe using the pulp "wet". I'll let you know!ReplyDelete
Yes, please do!ReplyDelete
Just to be correct....spelt is very low in gluten but not 100% gluten free so it would not be okay for individuals with Celiac disease.ReplyDelete
Quite true - thank you for clarifying!ReplyDelete

Recipe by Chef John
"Tandoori chicken gets its name from the clay oven it is traditionally cooked in, the tandoor. The chicken is marinated in yogurt and an incredibly complex mix of spices, and then roasted in the extremely hot tandoor oven. Don't worry if you don't have a tandoor clay oven sitting in the backyard; a grill will work just fine."
Watch video tips and tricks
lime, juiced
1 1/2 tablespoons
plain yogurt
1 1/2 tablespoons
tandoori masala powder
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 pounds
boneless, skinless chicken thighs
if you, like me, can't buy the tandoori masala powder :
1 tsp Garlic (Lasun) Powder
1 tsp ground Ginger (Adrak)
1 tsp Cloves (Lavang) Powder
1/2 tsp grated Nutmeg (Jaiphal)
1 tsp Mace Powder (Javitri)
11/2 tblsp Cumin (Jeera) Powder
2 tblsp ground Corriander (Dhania)
1 tsp Fenugreek (Methi) Powder
1 tsp ground Cinnamon (Tuj/Dalchini)
1 tsp fresh ground Black Pepper (Kalimirchi)
1 tsp ground brown Cardamom (Elaichi) Seeds
2 tsp Red Food colouring
mix together and store in an air tight container.
We were hoping for something a little spicier or more intriguing. It was good but we were hoping for better. Bought the Tandoori masala powder from Amazon (I keep a wish list until I get enough for free shipping which helps). We did discover that plain yogurt in a marinade is just fine and we need not turn up our noses or our palates. So it was a good learning experience. Now if we can just find a really interesting use for the Tandoori Masala.

It's all in the spice blend. I used Penzey's Spices tandoori mix with plain greek yogurt & key limes. http://www.penzeys.com/cgi-bin/penzeys/p-penzeyscurrytand.html?id=fyErmhgq Mix 1-2 TB. with 1 Cup plain yogurt and the juice of ½ lime or lemon. Pour over a cut-up skinless chicken, cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Remove from marinade, bake 45 minutes uncovered at 325°, turning and basting every 15 minutes. If I cook this in my terra cotta CLAY roaster I bake it at 350 for 1 hour no basting. Moist & delicious!
Love it, love it, love it!!! Just the right amount of flavoring without being over powering. I followed this recipe exactly although I did use vanilla yogurt. This recipe will certainly be used time and time again. Thank you for sharing.
Loved this one! You can buy Tandoori power at My Spice Sage if you don't have an import store nearby.
I cooked them in a oil-sprayed pan in the oven 335F for about an hr. I pour away the juice every 15mins so the chicken will look nicely baked and dried at the end. They taste good and easy to make. Oh, I marinated them for about 6 hours. Also, I oil spray the chicken surface lightly 10 mins before its out of the oven. Will be making this again for sure!
my family loved it, not to mention that spicy food not their favorite.
Just got into Indian cooking so I don't expect much of myself. I made a couple of slight mods: I added a little chili powder and cayenne pepper, not much just a pinch and I finished the dish off with a small side of: 4 tbsps of sambal, chopped scallions, lemon juice and honey Greek yoghurt, just to give it some extra ooomph!

The Galapagos Islands, some 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador, rank among the world's most distinctive and abundant wildlife destinations. Roughly 9,000 species live here and in surrounding waters. The mostly uninhabited isles are like a natural-history museum, except the animals aren't stuffed—they're wild. Exploring the Galapagos, I often felt as if I was walking in an exotic zoo without cages.

The science is catching up with on-the-ground realities of pesticide drift: inhalation toxicity and volatilization are being seriously studied; long-lasting effects of low-level, tragically timed exposures are beginning to be taken into account; and the dangers of inherently drift-prone pesticides are more clearly understood. Yet if history is any guide, policy will lag a decade or two behind unless pressed to move more quickly by an informed public.
Pesticide drift, or "secondhand" exposure, is unintended, largely invisible and common.
Pesticide drift, or "secondhand" exposure, is unintended, largely invisible and common. Studies show that people who work with pesticides are at greater risk for certain cancers, neurological disorders, respiratory disease, miscarriages, and infertility. Farmers, field workers, and exterminators bear the brunt of these exposure risks, but they are not the only ones facing the consequences of pesticide drift. Children who grow up near fields treated with pesticides face developmental delays. Many pesticides are prone to drift away from where they are applied, ensuring "secondhand" exposure opportunities for people who just happen to be in the area.
Drift happens when a pesticide applied in one place moves through the air and ends up somewhere else. The offsite movement can be just few feet or up to a few miles, and the degree of contamination can be high enough to sicken neighbors and livestock and ruin non-target crops. Long-range drift can also put wildlife in the surrounding environment at risk. Primary types of drift are spray drift and volatilization.
Spray drift occurs during and immediately after a pesticide application when pesticide droplets, dust, or gases are blown off their intended target. All pesticides have the potential for spray drift; here are a few factors determining likelihood:
Volatilization drift happens after an application is complete, hours and even days later, when the pesticides evaporate (or "volatilize") into a gas, which can then drift long distances. In contrast to spray drift, it is a pesticide's inherent physical properties - not how it's applied - that determine its potential for volatilization drift.
The plot below for the insecticide diazinon is derived from data collected as part of the State of California's pesticide air monitoring program. It shows how volatilized pesticides can persist in the air long after the application is complete. The graph demonstrates the phenomenon of volatilization drift and it shows that actual levels of a volatilized pesticide in the air can greatly exceed safe levels. For a detailed explanation of this plot and how the data were collected, see chapter two in Secondhand Pesticides.
Pesticide rules in U.S. simply do not adequately protect people from drift. Volatilization is ignored for all but a few pesticides, and regulations meant to protect people and the environment from spray drift are inadequate for many of the most toxic pesticides. Compounding the situation, the state agencies charged with enforcing these rules lack the resources, and often the will, to do so effectively.
Spray Drift :: EPA attempts to mitigate spray drift on a product-by-product basis by placing restrictions on pesticide labels about what types of applications are permitted. Some examples:
In recent years, some states have put policies in place to protect communities from spray drift. Lawmakers in California, Washington state and Maine have taken action to require drift monitoring, put drift response plans in place, or place restrictions and notification requirements on the most drift-prone types of applications, among other measures.
Volatilization Drift :: EPA ignores volatilization drift for all but the most toxic and volatile pesticides, the fumigants. Since it's a pesticide's physical properties that make it so drift-prone, "no spray" buffer zones and limits on application rates are the best ways mitigate this threat.
EPA recently announced increased buffer zones for fumigants, but their own calculations show that the new rules fail to protect people who live, work, or go to school adjacent to treated fields. And despite ample evidence produced by PAN, the State of California, and others showing that many insecticides are also subject to volatilization, the EPA has yet to do anything to address this problem.

Ana Ivanovic has come a long way in a short period of time - a very short period of time.
Two years ago, the 17-year-old Belgrade, Serbia native hadn't even played in a professional tournament. In fact, that pro debut didn't come until August of 2003 when she reached the semifinals at the ITF Women's Circuit event in Bucharest, Romania.
A little over a year later, Ivanovic had already reached the Top 100 on the Sony Ericsson WTA Tour and she still hasn't slowed her rapid rise in women's tennis. She captured her first career title in January at Canberra, making her run to the title as a qualifier.
Two months later, Ivanovic had already reached the Top 50 on the rankings and the tennis world began to take notice of the game's rising star...

(ST. LOUIS) – Duane Reed Gallery proudly announces its representation of painter Monroe Hodder, ceramic artist Ryan LaBar, and painter Miles Bair. Exhibition opens Friday, July 12th with a reception that evening 5 – 8pm. The exhibition will run through August 24th. Gallery hours: Tuesday through Saturday 10-5pm.
Hodder's experience working as an assistant to Manuel Neri at the San Fransisco Art Institute brought her into contact with Clyfford Still and Mark Rothko. Her career spans a number of chapters in the history of American art. About her work, she says: "The essence of my work is pure color, as Matisse understood it, color that 'must serve expression.'"
LaBar received his MFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2010, and has worked as a resident artist at the Archie Bray Foundation in Helena, the LH Project in Joseph, Oregon, and California State University Long Beach. Currently, Ryan is the director of residents at the LH Project, a prestigious ceramic arts residency program.
Bair is the director of the School of Art at Illinois Wesleyan University. His landscape paintings capture an essense of natural beauty and wonder. The deliberate and considerate placement of the thousands of dots that compose his visions provide rich contrast to the black underpainting and the ethereal, shimmering metallic leaf.

I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
As I stressed in my column about the YEC view, creationism is ultimately about theodicy—it's not only about theodicy, to be sure, but the belief that animals must not have suffered and died before Adam and Eve committed the first sin is crucial to the "young" in Young Earth Creationism. To a significant degree, Theistic Evolution is also about theodicy.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
I want to lay out some of the key myths and indicate how Coyne's discussion can help Christians get a more accurate understanding of evolution.
If death did not exist before Adam and Eve, how could God have used evolution to create man? And what about predators and natural catastrophes such as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
In this video "Conversation," Philip Yancey explains that on the way home from a trip to Mumbai, India, during which terrorists attacked the city, he began to form a list of the challenging situations he has experienced.
Scientists become fairly comfortable with a certain level of uncertainty within scientific data, notes Kathryn Applegate, but that is not the case for most people, especially where faith is concerned
This series, written by Bethany Sollereder, seeks to address this question: "How could God create through a process that involves so much pain and death?" She first presents the two drastically opposite worldviews held by theologians and scientists. She also reflects theologically on how a world created through evolutionary means can be good, and concludes with some thoughts concerning the Fall, physical decay and spiritual death.
Death has occurred since the first breath of biological life (and some would say since the first "breath" of cosmological life), long before Adam inhaled. Ironically, therefore, death must be a part of God's good creation. Moreover, human death due to sin must be something different than the physical death we all die.
"Why would the omnipotent Creator of the universe use such a wasteful (and cruel) process of survival of the fittest to bring about the higher forms of life? This view of 'theistic evolution' goes against God's very nature -- and logic itself."
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the idea of randomness as a part of natural selection, and whether it challenges the possibility of God using the evolutionary process as a means of creation.
It should not be surprising that John Cage asked the stuff he used to make paintings to take part in the process—to contribute its own identity to the intentional, purposeful, and determined work of creating "based on chance."
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.

Duck Brand Glow-in-the-Dark Gaffer Tape Single Sheets are packaged as 8-1/2 inch x 10 inch display cards (material area is approximately 4-1/4 inch x 10 inch) and which come on an easy to peel release liner. They are great for craft projects and can be easily cut for decorative and scrapbooking purposes. Also can be used on objects like a mailbox to help numbers and/or names to be seen at night. The product is photoluminescent after the tape is activated by an artificial or natural light source.
Duck Glow in the Dark Sheets in their uncharged state have a natural color and when glowing they have a luminescent lime green color. The sheets are typically fully charged within 30 minutes after exposure to either artificial or natural light and glow brightest the first 15 to 30 minutes after activation has ceased, but will remain clearly visible in a totally dark room to the night-adjusted eye for hours (to the night-adjusted eye it is visible, but it would not compare it brightness to say a standard flashlight).

Offers the widest range of application flexibility available. Exhibits excellent processing performance whether manually or automatically applied. Has superior tensile strength, adhesion properties and holding force which ensures consistent, reliable seals. Hot melt adhesive will bond faster to a surface which is referred to as quick-grab or quick-stick. It typically has higher tack (will feel stickier to the touch), but is also softer. It has lower heat resistance, shear resistance, and sometimes UV resistance than an acrylic adhesive. NOTE: it is called hot melt because the adhesive is applied hot by the manufacturer and then hardens as it cools (you do not need to apply heat to the tape yourself).
Properties are similar to that of hot melt rubber, but natural rubber often holds where other adhesives won't (recycled fibers, dust, cold, heat and heavy loads). It provides good overall adhesion and moisture resistance.
Offer excellent performance, especially for applications in temperatures less than 40°F and greater then 120°F. It provides excellent clarity, has high shear strength, is usually more permanent/durable even when exposed to moisture, and it ages well over extended periods in fluorescent and sunlight. Since it remains clear for the life of the application and does not yellow over time it is ideal for applications such as sealing white cartons. While it has good initial adhesion it does take 24-48 hours to cure and to achieve its maximum bond strength (has gradual adhesion buildup). Another difference between hot melt rubber and acrylic adhesive is if you fold tape over making the two adhesive sides touch the acrylic adhesive will remain attached to the carrier (e.g. paper, film) while a hot melt adhesive will stick to itself and pull off of the carrier. It is the best choice for clarity, UV resistance and aging characteristics.
Is great for extreme temperature applications since silicone adhesive can work in continuous operating temperatures from -100°F to 500°F. They also exhibit good chemical resistance, retain electrical properties, and remove cleanly with little or no residue.
Zinc oxide based adhesive formula is a skin-friendly adhesive which is commonly used on sports medicine tapes.
Examples: 1/16 inch = 62.5 mils; 1/32 inch = 31.25 mils
