HG2 A hedonist's guide to... The UK's best-selling luxury city guide.
Almaty Map
Everywhere we love in Almaty
Explore the city by district:
Central Almaty
Business District
Nestled in the foothills of the Zhailiskii Alatau Mountains, part of the great Tien Shan range, which cross Central Asia from east to west, Almaty's location is its greatest asset. The natural mountain scenery provides both a dramatic backdrop and easily accessible playground for the city's one and a half million residents.
In its present form, Almaty (which translates as 'Grandfather of the Apples', in reference to Almaty's numerous fruit-bearing orchards) was established in the mid-nineteenth century when the Russians built a fort at Verniy near the site of a long-established nomadic settlement. As the Russian intent in Central Asia changed from protection to colonization, a small town was established adjacent to the fort.
Subsequent development in the Soviet period turned Almaty (then Alma-Ata) into a thriving capital city with some of its most impressive buildings emerging under the leadership of Dinmukhamed Kunayev, first secretary of Kazakhstan's Communist Party from 1959 to 1986.
In 1997, six years after Kazakhstan gained independence, President Nazarbayev announced his decision to move the capital to Astana in northern Kazakhstan. One of the reasons he cited for leaving was Almaty's location on a major earthquake faultline. Many thought that the move of the capital would prove a death knell for Almaty, but instead the city's popularity has continued to grow and it is now set to become the regional financial hub for all of Central Asia as well as being the country's business and cultural centre. The enormous oil, gas and natural resource wealth enjoyed by Kazakhstan has fuelled massive development in this former capital and led to the rise of a new class of Kazakh, the novii Kazakh, who all keep flats in Almaty and return here to party at the weekends.
The development has had its side effects: real estate values have shot through the roof, and it is often as expensive to rent a flat in central Almaty as in London or New York. The knock-on effect of this is that bars, restaurants and shops come and go. High rents mean that many struggle to stay open or are forced to move to new locations and so turnover is high, as are prices.
Development aside, Almaty is an extremely pleasant and laid back town to spend time in. A Tsarist horticulturalist named Edward Baum who lived in Almaty at the end of the nineteenth century inspired a generation of Almaty's citizens to plant trees, a legacy continued throughout the Soviet period. As a result, when spring arrives, the city comes into bloom almost overnight and walking through its many parks, and along its streets, you sometimes feel you are in a flower-strewn forest rather than a city.
To really appreciate Almaty's stunning setting, take the cable car to Koktubey, a small hill dominated by a TV tower on the city's south-eastern edge. The cable-car terminal is just behind the Palace of the Republic on Dostyk. From the top, you get a magnificent view of the mountains to the south of the city, of the city itself and of the steppe, which stretches endlessly to the north, unbroken until it reaches Siberia.
A word of warning: the mountains in Almaty lie to the south of the city, not the north; this is often confusing when trying to orientate yourself and useful to bear in mind.

Comments On Mar 24, 2015:They look awesome on the bike. I used a vernier caliper to verify that the marks on the blocks are accurate, they are to about .5mm. That is good IMO. I like how the axle and the nut washer are recessed into the block with these. Looks cleaner and seems like a better design than factory.
ONLY complaint, all the Tusk products blue's are different shades of blue. My Tusk flag holder, fuel vent, brake reservoir caps and oil fill plugs are different colors.

Comments On Jan 26, 2015:These blocks are great! They aren't symmetrical so one side is longer than the other. This means that I can swap wheels (one has a 50T sprocket and the other has a 48T) and I don't have to adjust the chain, only flip the blocks which saves me about 10 min each time.

En español | If you've been job hunting in recent years, chances are you've tapped into one of the many online job boards. You probably created an account, uploaded your résumé, and even connected with some of your professional contacts.
Yet if you haven't visited these sites in a while, you might want to check back because some of their features have changed.
You can find out which companies are hiring right now, and sleuth out whom you know who might be able to help you get in the door for an interview. After all, data show that a lot of jobs are landed through referrals and relationships.
Here are some of the latest features to experiment with on the more popular career websites.
Sign up for the AARP Money Newsletter
LinkedIn. You've probably used the site to post an online work profile, connect with other professionals, tap into industry or interest discussion groups, or follow companies where you might want to work. Recent improvements have made scoring key connections even easier.
The "How You're Connected" tool, which LinkedIn began rolling out at the end of January, helps you find "who" in your network knows someone you would like to connect with and "how" they know each other.
When you view a profile of someone with whom you aren't connected, a list of mutual connections pops up on your screen. And it shows how the two are connected. This insider knowledge can help you pick the best one to introduce you. For example, it might be more strategic to ask someone who's been a work colleague with a potential contact for an introduction versus a college fraternity brother.
Another new LinkedIn feature, the "LinkedIn for Volunteers, " can be tapped to hunt for volunteer opportunities. It culls feeds from several sources, including Taproot Foundation, BoardSource and VolunteerMatch. These are unpaid positions in fundraising, marketing or grantwriting.
"If income is needed, they're not great," says Susan Joyce, online job search expert and editor of Job-Hunt.org and WorkCoachCafe.com. "However, volunteering usually offers excellent networking opportunities, skill updates (and proof of updated skills), and a chance to feel good about yourself." You can sign up to follow the nonprofits on LinkedIn, which can help you learn more about the group and potential paid positions down the road.
You also can add volunteer work to your LinkedIn profile in the "Volunteer and Causes" section. "Highlighting your passion and commitment to projects signals to employers that you don't spend your time away from work on the couch but rather at charity meetings and events," says LinkedIn's career expert, Nicole Williams. According to LinkedIn, 42 percent of hiring managers surveyed said they view volunteer experience as equivalent to formal work experience.
While LinkedIn is free to use online (as are most of the job sites below), you have the option to purchase an upgraded premium subscription for between $19.95 and $49.95 per month, which allows you to contact recruiters, see who's viewed your profile and participate in webinars.
Life Reimagined for Work. This AARP site offers a trove of resources for job seekers, career switchers and anyone who has an itch to start a business. One of the features is a job-postings partnership with LinkedIn. After connecting with your LinkedIn account, you'll be able to view openings from corporations such as Google and AT&T that have signed a pledge to "level the playing field for experienced workers." You'll also want to check out the 2013 AARP Best Employers for Workers Over 50 list, whose companies and organizations value an experienced workforce.
Indeed. You can slice the postings by criteria such as geography, industry, experience or salary. Career coach Rita Carey of RCM Associates also recommends craigslist. "My 50-plus job seekers have definitely found success with it."
Indeed (which also powers AARP's job search) lets you track job listings, including company career pages and job boards, and newspaper classifieds. You can post your résumé after creating an account. You can also read reviews by current and former employees rating work-life balance, compensation and benefits, and job culture.
Indeed's "find trends" button on the top of the page analyzes its millions of job postings to show what industries are hiring, job titles, top locations and top keyword searches. You can click to exact job postings, sort by salary and get new jobs sent to you by email from that search.

I wasn't sure if I should call this a summer update or spring: it is June, after all, but I've just arrived in London and it's hard to say that it's summer!
Everyone is telling me what terrible weather it's been in England lately: I hope it improves in time for the grass court season but it doesn't look very promising.
Mind you, it wouldn't feel like England if it was amazing sunshine every day: I have become used to this weather during all the trips I've made here since I was a junior.
The French Open was a frustrating tournament for me: I played some great tennis for two-and-half matches but I feel like I missed an opportunity. On the positive side I take confidence from the good tennis I played and I feel like I'm not too far away from putting it all together in a tournament and going far.
Maybe the biggest improvement I've made in the past year has been with my serve and that's obviously very important for the grass. Serving well and being able to stay low on the ball in the rallies are two of the keys to success on this surface. I guess you can say that patience is also very important, because you do have to put up with a lot of rain delays, as we did in Birmingham last year.
One of the highlights of the summer, off the court, is the player party on Thursday before Wimbledon begins. It's held at the Roof Gardens in London and it's a beautiful location, but it's an outdoor venue and when it rains, the indoor areas get so packed.
Unfortunately this was the case last year: it was hard to move, so I went home early. The year before, I stayed almost till they closed!
This summer is going to be quite strange, playing at Wimbledon twice in the same month, for two huge tournaments. To be honest I don't know what to expect from the Olympics: I've been told that the site will quite different from the Wimbledon tournament.
I'm excited by the challenges ahead. I'm definitely moving in the right direction and hopefully I can make a big impact here.

2 cups
all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tablespoons
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
1/2 cup
flaked coconut
3/4 cup
chopped pecans
2 cups
packed brown sugar
I made the brownies, but added 1/2 cup butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup
nuts instead of the 3/4 cup nuts the recipe called for. This really
increased the "butterscotchy" flavor of the brownies and made them
extra special. People now ask for these well in advance of their
birthdays as presents.
Guess I am in the minority here but we just didn't care for these brownies, I am glad we tried the recipe prior to making the jars as gifts.
22 Ratings
These brownies are really good. They rise quite a bit and come out cake-like. I only gave it 4 stars because it really does need a modification to the recipe - butterscotch chips added. I added the chips and the brownies were great. Without them you are relying on the brown sugar alone, it's just not enough.
These make a great gift and taste good as well. I double the vanilla and add a pinch of salt to the mix. It really brings the recipe together.
These are very tasty. I baked them for work and for my husband. Everyone thought they were great and very moist. However, the main comment is that they don't have a strong "Butterscotch" flavor. But these are delicious anyway. Thanks for a wonderful recipe.
12/23/2000...I made these in jars for Christmas gifts except I did not include the nuts in the jar. I noted the nuts in the card for the recipent to add when mixing. All recipents that have baked them,have enjoyed them.
Thanks again..
These brownies are good, I alo added 1 cup butterscotch chips and no nuts, really liked the outcome:)
I tested this recipe before giving it as a Christmas gift and with the addition of the butterscotch chips (1/2 cup) these are really good.
Excellent, chewy texture with wonderful flavors - and a very user friendly gift!!

In the aftermath of September 11, the NFL scrapped the
original New Orleans theme art
for Super Bowl XXXVI, and created this stunningly simple, boldly patriotic
design to promote the big game. This beautiful piece displays football's
ultimate goal in all its glory - the Vince Lombardi trophy, resplendent
in the reflection of the Stars-and-Stripes. A great addition to your football
Wall-of-Fame, and a must for your Super Bowl collection (and especially
for fans of the champions, the New England Patriots!). The original print
run of this poster finally sold out for good in mid-2007; however, we were
able to obtain from the publisher a quantity of hand-numbered limited-edition
collector's prints of this poster, printed on high-quality gallery print
stock concurrently with the mass poster run back in 2001. You will receive
a print numbered /300.

Alpha-Fucosidase, Fibroblasts
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Fucosidosis is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by reduced or absent alpha-L-fucosidase enzyme activity. This enzyme is involved in degrading asparagine-linked, fucose-containing complex molecules (oligosaccharides, glycoasparagines) present in cells. Reduced or absent activity of this enzyme results in the abnormal accumulation of these undigested molecules in the tissues and body fluids. Although the disorder is pan ethnic, the majority of reported patients with fucosidosis have been from Italy and the southwestern United States. To date, about 100 cases have been reported worldwide.
Severe and mild subgroups of fucosidosis, designated types I and II, have been described, although recent data suggests individual patients may represent a continuum within a wide spectrum of severity. The more severe type is characterized by infantile onset, rapid psychomotor regression, and severe neurologic deterioration. Additionally, dysostosis multiplex and elevated sweat sodium chloride are frequent findings. Death typically occurs within the first decade of life. Those with the milder phenotype express comparatively mild psychomotor and neurologic regression, radiologic signs of dysostosis multiplex, and skin lesions (angiokeratoma corporis diffusum). Normal sweat salinity, the presence of the skin lesions, and survival into adulthood most readily distinguish milder from more severe phenotypes.
An initial diagnostic workup includes a multienzyme screening assay for several oligosaccharidoses, including fucosidosis, in leukocytes or fibroblasts (OLIWB / Oligosaccharidoses Screen, Leukocytes or OLITC / Oligosaccharidoses Screen, Fibroblasts). If the screening assay is suggestive of fucosidosis, enzyme analysis of alpha-L-fucosidase can confirm the diagnosis.
Enzyme analysis should be pursued in cases with strong clinical suspicion regardless of the screening result. Sequencing of FUCA1 allows for detection of disease-causing mutations in affected patients and identification of familial mutations allows for testing of at-risk family members.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of fucosidosis
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Low alpha-fucosidase suggests fucosidosis when accompanied with clinical findings. Some patients exhibit measurable activity minimally below the normal range. These patients are not likely to have fucosidosis.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Low alpha-fucosidase variants in serum have been shown in the absence of fucosidosis. Though this has been associated with ovarian cancer, it is not a consistent finding and makes serum testing for fucosidosis unreliable.
The current laboratory procedure is to be used for disease testing only. Because normal individuals may exhibit rather low levels of alpha-fucosidase activity, carrier status detection by this method is not possible.
Interfering factors include lack of viable cells, bacterial contamination, failure to transport tissue in an appropriate media, excessive transport time, and exposure of the specimen to temperature extremes (freezing or >30 degrees C).
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Have you ever played Marbles as a child?
I started playing at age 11, and now have become an avid collector. I just want to see how many smart people out there have stimulated their childhood dexterity with marbles.
Feb 5 2013: yep, I was right around 13-14 when I won the National Championship. I wish all young people could experience the feeling of achieving a huge accomplishment at that age. It changed me forever.
. .
Feb 5 2013: It really changes you for ever. It sets the course for your life!! In a most wonderful way.
- +1
.....After reading Atul Jadhav's ideas, I hope you carry it farther than it has ever been carried :-)
I bet there is something grand that you could do with your passion and expertise!! In fact, I am marking you Doug Watson, to come back and give a TED talk some day with a video of your class, showing how math, probability, physics and negotiation skills can be taught and learned using marble games!! And sharing with us your wish that " all young people could experience the feeling of achieving a huge accomplishment at that age", which will have come true.
Like this: http://www.ted.com/talks/john_hunter_on_the_world_peace_game.html
I sure hope I've multiplied your inspiration dear Doug:-) and I'll tell you this; there is a joy so profound that you will feel when you see your students '"fly" throughout their lives because of your teaching, that is unequalled in this life:-)Jan 31 2013: Marbles? Trying my best not to lose them.
Jan 31 2013: hahah! we've all lost them at some point or another... maybe that's why I started collecting... to find my missing piece.
Linda Taylor
Jan 31 2013: Sure did. We had this patch of dirt that was our favorite. Played a lot of jacks too.

Jan 31 2013: awesome! my mother lives in a really old house with a HUGE tree in the back yard, and the story of the town is that the children used to shoot marbles under the tree back in the late 1800's early 1900's. we've found a few buried in the yard, when digging fence posts.
Atul Jadhav
Jan 30 2013: Yes, I did play with them when I was a child. Apart from fun, they also improved my basic numeracy.
- +1
Jan 30 2013: marbles for math I love it! you could get really intricate with this i imagine. making specific colored marbles stand for exponents or formulas. I may try and make a learning exercise for youngsters with this idea.
Atul Jadhav
Jan 30 2013: yes Sir...in addition to addition and subtraction they can be used to learn probability too. Different colour combinations will make the learning environment a bit more playful. ( Questions like the probability of choosing a red marble from a group of 2 white 3 red 4 green marble is?)

Marbles also find their application in explaining some physics concepts like displacement.
Jan 31 2013: Don't forget negotiation skills to obtain favourable odds in winning that cherrished "aggie" or whatever held your eye at the time

Feb 5 2013: Marbles, alas, I never had any to lose ;-).. lol.. National champion 1999, at age 13!!

You are Awesome to carry the passion within you to this day :-)
Lejan .
Feb 4 2013: Yes! And I was fascinated by those colored swirls within the glass... still am whenever I get to see one!Feb 1 2013: I,m grown in war devasted country, playing marbles & running kites were of only means of entertainment for me. I was very good in playing marbles & was even making some money out of it. one of the tricks that me and my brother used to play was that we used carry only a few marbles in our pockets not all what we had. then if it was our day we used to win all marbles of our freinds however if it was a bad day we were only losing a few. when winter used to come we used to burry our marbles on roofs of our houses where as other kids were losing their marbles during snow.
- 0
but I was not good in running kites , other boys used to cut my kite in the sky & i was losing money here but what was important , my cost of entertainment was not a burden on my late father.Jan 31 2013: when I was 6&7 with my best friend Carol Schneider every day after school..she was REALLY GOOD..and the marbles were really beautiful
Comment deleted
Jan 31 2013: that's great. I'm almost 30 and I still play in tournaments. I was the 1999 National champion, and marbles will be playing as long as i can still get up and down to take a shot.
i traveled to a few other countries and have seen children playing marbles in the dirt, i'd like to see how other countries (that i haven't visited) play.Jan 31 2013: Yes I didJan 30 2013: Yes is the answer!
I have a big heap of it. The first one I've got is from my dad. It's a smoky blue one.
I love the sound when they hit each other, love the lights that come through them. It's magical to me.
I keep collecting them in the jar till I was like 12-13. Now I still have them in my fish tank :)Jan 30 2013: Well we used to play with our grandparents in their living room, we'd all sit on the floor. Never thought about dexterity, but it made for good times and lots of laughter. This would have been in Alhambra, California.
Jan 30 2013: i love hearing about the memories people have with marbles and grandparents.
If anyone still has any of their marbles from their childhood or older family members, I am interested in seeing them. there are so many different ones out there, some I've never seen before.Jan 30 2013: i dont know exactly how many i have, but it's in the thousands. I work with the National Marbles Tournament and am always looking to try and get new clubs interested to help our program expand. the NMT is the longest continual children's event in the USA. it'd over 85 years old!!! www.nationalmarblestournament.org
Jan 30 2013: Absolutely.....

I remember that they looked so much like candy.
I loved the feel of the marbles in my hand.
One of the first things I bought my son when he was born, was a set of marbles. Of course, I put them away until he was old enough to play with them.
How many marbles do you have in your collection?

To win consistently in the nfl you need to do three things: acquire a franchise quarterback, protect your franchise quarterback, hit the other teams franchise quarterback. Teams like the Ravens, Steelers, Packers, and Texans have figured this out and have targeted pass rushers early and often in the draft.
Anyways, 4 people have voted for the offensive line? I think people on here are screwing with this poll.

Sunday, February 17, 2002Columbia, S.C. (Feb. 17, 2002) - In the final game of the three-game series, South Carolina again unleashed a powerful attack, belting out 16 hits, including four home runs, as the Gamecocks completed the series sweep with a 14-5 win over East Tennessee State. For the second straight game, the Bucs got on the scoreboard with a first inning run. Matt Traylor (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Kirk Keithley (Peoria, Ill.) led the game off with singles and Traylor later came around to score on a pair of wild pitches for an early 1-0 lead. South Carolina answered in its half of the inning, putting together three singles, with Yaron Peters hit bringing home a run that tied the game. After not scoring in the second, South Carolina then scored in every inning after, including a five -run fifth that proved to be too much for the Bucs. The fifth was highlighted by a two-run double from Trey Dyson and a solo home run by Landon Powell. ETSU got two back in the top of the sixth on an RBI double by Davis Burklin (Knoxville, Tenn.) and an RBI single by Michael Giroud (St. Petersburg, Fla.) to make it 10-3, but it was too little, too late for the Bucs as South Carolina went on to score four more times to put the game out of reach. The Bucs got their final two runs in the top of the ninth when both Jeremy Terry (Cumberland, Ky.) and Giroud scored on wild pitches. Traylor and Giroud each had a pair of hits to lead the Bucs' 11-hit attack. Mike Bauer (Kingsport, Tenn.) started and took the loss for ETSU, throwing four innings and giving up seven runs on six hits. Peters had a perfect day for USC, going 4-for-4 at the plate with a pair of RBI and runs. Gary Bell started for the Gamecocks and went 5.1 innings, giving up nine hits and three runs. He struck out seven Buc hitters without a walk. East Tennessee State will have its first home games of the season when it hosts North Carolina A&T on Saturday, Feb. 23 in a doubleheader. The games will start at 1:00 p.m. and will be played at Hunter Wright Stadium in Kingsport, Tenn.

Great Living Chola Temples
Great Living Chola Temples
The Great Living Chola Temples were built by kings of the Chola Empire, which stretched over all of south India and the neighbouring islands. The site includes three great 11th- and 12th-century Temples: the Brihadisvara Temple at Thanjavur, the Brihadisvara Temple at Gangaikondacholisvaram and the Airavatesvara Temple at Darasuram. The Temple of Gangaikondacholisvaram, built by Rajendra I, was completed in 1035. Its 53-m vimana (sanctum tower) has recessed corners and a graceful upward curving movement, contrasting with the straight and severe tower at Thanjavur. The Airavatesvara temple complex, built by Rajaraja II, at Darasuram features a 24-m vimana and a stone image of Shiva. The temples testify to the brilliant achievements of the Chola in architecture, sculpture, painting and bronze casting.
Les grands temples vivants Chola
Les grands temples vivants de Chola ont été construits par les rois de l'Empire de Chola qui s'étendait sur l'ensemble de l'Inde méridionale et sur les îles voisines. Le site comprend trois grands temples de Chola des XIe et XIIe siècles : le temple de Brihadisvara de Thanjavur, le temple de Brihadisvara de Gangaikondacholisvaram et le temple d'Airavatesvara de Darasuram. Le temple de Gangaikondacholisvaram, érigé par Rajendra Ier, a été achevé en 1035. Son vimana (tour sanctuaire) de 53 m est caractérisé par des angles disposés en retrait élégamment incurvés vers le haut, contrairement à la stricte et droite tour du temple de Tanjore. Le temple d'Airavatesvara, érigé par Rajaraja II à Darasuram, comporte un vimana de 24 m et une image en pierre de Shiva. Ces temples témoignent des brillantes réalisations de l'ère chola en architecture, peinture, sculpture et statuaire en bronze.
معابد شولا الكبيرة الحية
شيّد ملوك إمبراطورية شولا التي امتدّت على مجموعة الهند الجنوبية وعلى الجُزر المجاورة معابدَ شولا الكبيرة الحية. ويتضمّن الموقع ثلاثة معابد شولا كبيرة عائدة للقرنين الحادي عشر والثاني عشر: معبد برهاديسفارا في ثانجابور ومعبد برهاديسفارا في كانكايكونداشوليزفارامGangaikondacholisvaram ومعبد إيرافاتيسفارا في داراسورام . أُنجز معبد كانكايكونداشوليزفارام الذي شيّده راجيندرا الأول عام 1035. يتميز برج المعبد الذي يبلغ ارتفاعه 53 متراً بزوايا موزعة بطريقة غائرة معقوفة بلباقة نحو الأعلى خلافاً لبرج معبد تانجور الشيق والمستقيم. أما معبد إيرافاتيسفارا الذي شيّده رجا رجا الثاني، فيتضمّن برجاً يبلغ طوله 24 متراً ورسماً حجرياً للإلهة ِشيفا. وتدلّ هذه المعابد على الإنجازات اللامعة التي حققتها حقبة شولا في مجالات الهندسة والرسم والنحت والتماثيل البرونزية.

Великие храмы империи Чола
Большой храм Брихадисвара в Танджуре (Танджавуре) был сооружен между 1003 и 1010 гг. во времена правления царя Раджараджа, основателя империи Чола, которая охватывала весь юг Индии и прилегающие острова. Окруженный двумя стенами, имеющими в плане форму квадрата, этот храм (построенный из гранитных блоков и частично из кирпича) увенчан пирамидальной 13-ярусной башней – «виманой», имеющей высоту 61 м, с монолитом-луковкой на вершине. Стены храма богато украшены скульптурой. В 2004 г. в объект наследия были включены еще два храма, также относящиеся к временам империи Чола: Гангайкондачолисварам и Айраватесвара в городе Дарасурам. Храм Гангайкондачолисварам, построенный Раджендрой I, был закончен в 1035 г. Его 53-метровая «вимана» имеет заглубленные углы и грациозные, устремленные вверх изогнутые формы, контрастирующие с прямой и суровой башней в Танджавуре. Шесть пар массивных монолитных статуй «дварапала» охраняют вход, а внутри находятся исключительно красивые предметы из бронзы. Храмовый комплекс Айраватесвара, построенный Раджараджа II в Дарасураме, известен 24-метровой «виманой» и каменной скульптурой Шивы. Храмы являются свидетельством великолепных достижений государства Чола в архитектуре, скульптуре, живописи и бронзовом литье.

Grandes templos vivientes cholas
Los grandes templos vivientes fueron construidos por los reyes del Imperio de Chola, que llegaron a dominar toda la parte meridional de la India y sus islas adyacentes El sitio comprende tres grandes santuarios cholas de los siglos XI y XII: el Templo de Brihadisvara en Thanjavur, el Templo de Brihadisvara en Gangaikondacholisvaram y el Templo de Airavatesvara en Darasuram. El Templo de Gangaikondacholisvaram, edificado por orden de Rajendra I, fue terminado el año 1035. Las esquinas de su vimana (torre-santuario) de 53 metros de altura están rebajadas, gracias a lo cual el edificio cobra un gracioso movimiento ascensional ondulante que contrasta con las líneas rectas y austeras de la torre del templo de Thanjavur. El conjunto arquitectónico del Templo de Airavatesvara, construido por el rey Rajaraja II en Darasuram, posee un vimana de 24 metros de altura, así como una escultura en piedra de Siva. Los tres templos constituyen un testimonio de los brillantes logros del Imperio Chola en los campos de la arquitectura, la escultura, la pintura y el arte de trabajar el bronce.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
The great Cholas established a powerful monarchy in the 9th CE at Thanjavur and in its surroundings. They enjoyed a long, eventful rule lasting for four and a half centuries with great achievements in all fields of royal endeavour such as military conquest, efficient administration, cultural assimilation and promotion of art. All three temples, the Brihadisvara at Thanjavur, the Brihadisvara at Gangaikondacholapuram and Airavatesvara at Darasuram, are living temples. The tradition of temple worship and rituals established and practised over a thousand years ago, based on still older Agamic texts, continues daily, weekly and annually, as an inseparable part of life of the people.
These three temple complexes therefore form a unique group, demonstrating a progressive development of high Chola architecture and art at its best and at the same time encapsulating a very distinctive period of Chola history and Tamil culture.
The Brihadisvara temple at Tanjavur marks the greatest achievement of the Chola architects. Known in the inscriptions as Dakshina Meru, the construction of this temple was inaugurated by the Chola King, Rajaraja I (985-1012 CE) possibly in the 19th regal year (1003-1004 CE) and consecrated by his own hands in the 25th regal year (1009-1010 CE). A massive colonnaded prakara with sub-shrines dedicated to the ashatadikpalas and a main entrance with gopura (known as Rajarajantiruvasal) encompasses the massive temple. The sanctum itself occupies the centre of the rear half of the rectangular court. The vimana soars to a height of 59.82meters over the ground. This grand elevation is punctuated by a high upapitha, adhisthana with bold mouldings; the ground tier (prastara) is divided into two levels, carrying images of Siva. Over this rises the 13 talas and is surmounted by an octagonal sikhara. There is a circumambulatory path all around the sanctum housing a massive linga. The temple walls are embellished with expansive and exquisite mural paintings. Eighty-one of the one hundred and eight karanas, posed in Baharatanatya,are carved on the walls of second bhumi around the garbhagriha. There is a shrine dedicated to Amman dating to c.13th century.
Outside the temple enclosure are the fort walls of the Sivaganga Little Fort surrounded by a moat, and the Sivaganga Tank, constructed by the Nayaks of Tanjore of the 16th century who succeeded the imperial Cholas. The fort walls enclose and protect the temple complex within and form part of the protected area by the Archaeological Survey of India.
The Brihadisvara temple at Gangaikondacholapuram in the Perambalur district was built for Siva by Rajendra I (1012-1044 CE). The temple has sculptures of exceptional quality. The bronzes of Bhogasakti and Subrahmanya are masterpieces of Chola metal icons. The Saurapitha (Solar altar), the lotus altar with eight deities, is considered auspicious.
The Airavatesvara temple at Tanjavur was built by the Chola king Rajaraja II (1143-1173 CE.): it is much smaller in size as compared to the Brihadisvara temple at Tanjavur and Gangaikondacholapuram. It differs from themin itshighly ornate execution. The temple consists of a sanctum without a circumambulatory path and axial mandapas. The front mandapa known in the inscriptions as Rajagambhiran tirumandapam, is unique as it was conceptualized as a chariot with wheels. The pillars of this mandapa are highly ornate. The elevation of all the units is elegant with sculptures dominating the architecture. A number of sculptures from this temple are the masterpieces of Chola art. The labelled miniature friezes extolling the events that happened to the 63 nayanmars (Saiva saints) are noteworthy and reflect the deep roots of Saivism in this region. The construction of a separate temple for Devi, slightly later than the main temple, indicates the emergence of the Amman shrine as an essential component of the South Indian temple complex.
Criterion (i): The three Chola temples of Southern India represent an outstanding creative achievement in the architectural conception of the pure form of the dravida type of temple.
Criterion (ii): The Brihadisvara Temple at Thanjavur became the first great example of the Chola temples, followed by a development of which the other two properties also bear witness.
Criterion (iii): The three Great Chola Temples are an exceptional and the most outstanding testimony to the development of the architecture of the Chola Empire and the Tamil civilisation in Southern India.
Criterion (iv): The Great Chola temples at Thanjavur, at Gangaikondacholapuram and Darasuram are outstanding examples of the architecture and the representation of the Chola ideology.
These temples represent the development of Dravida architecture from Chola period to Maratha Period. All three monuments have been in a good state of preservation from the date of the inscription of the property and no major threats affect the World Heritage monuments. These monuments are being maintained and monitored by the Archaeological Survey of India. The tradition of temple worship and rituals established and practiced over a thousand years ago, based on still older Agamic texts, continues daily, weekly and annually, as an inseparable part of life of the people.
The three properties are considered to pass the test of authenticity in relation to their conception, material and execution. The temples are still being used, and they have great archaeological and historical value. The temple complexes used to be part of major royal towns, but have remained as the outstanding features in today's mainly rural context. The components of the temple complex of the Brihadisvara at Thanjavur, declared a World Heritage property in 1987, includes six sub-shrines which have been added within the temple courtyard over a period of time. The later additions and interventions reinforce the original concept embodied in the main temple complex, in keeping with homogeneity and its overall integrity. The traditional use of the temple for worship and ritual contribute to the authenticity. However the periodic report of 2003 noted a number of conservation interventions that have the potential to impact on authenticity e.g chemical cleaning of the structures and the total replacement of the temple floor; highlighting the need for a Conservation Management Plan to guide the conservation of the property so as to ensure that authenticity is maintained.
Similarly at the Brihadisvara complex at Gangaikondacholapuram, the sub-shrines of Chandesa and Amman were originally built according to the plan of Rajendra I, as well as the Simhakeni (the lion-well).Over time The sub-shrines of Thenkailasha, Ganesha and Durga were added. The authenticity of these additions is supported by the Agamictexts concerning renewal and reconstructions of temples in use.
At Darasuram, archaeological evidence since gazettal enhances the authenticity of the property. The Airavatesvara temple complex itself has been entirely built at the same time with no later additional structures, and remains in its original form. The Deivanayaki Amman shrine built a little later also, stands in its original form within its own enclosure.
Protection and management requirements
The three cultural properties, namely, the Brihadisvara Temple complex at Thanjavur, the Brihadisvara temple complex at Gangaikondacholapuram and the Airavatesvara temple complex at Darasuram have been under the protection of the Archaeological Survey of India from the years 1922, 1946 and 1954 respectively. Further, all of them were brought under the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act from the year 1959, at the time of its enactment. The management of these cultural properties can, therefore, be divided into two distinct parts: (1) The conservation, upkeep and maintenance of the properties, covering physical structure, architectural and site features, environment and surroundings, painting, sculpture, and other relics; and, (2) Temple administration covering staffing structure and hierarchy, accounting and bookkeeping, records and rules.
The management authority in relation to (1) is solely vested with the Archaeological Survey of India while the aspects covered in (2) are entirely looked after by the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments of the Government of Tamil Nadu. Therefore, it is evident that the property management is, in effect, jointly carried out by these two agencies, one a Central agency, the other belonging to the State.
The practice has been for the two agencies to prepare their own management plans independently, and review them from time to time. When necessary, joint discussions are held and any apparent contradiction or points of conflict are given due consideration and sorted out. In the case of the Brihadisvara temple at Thanjavur and the Airavatesvara temple at Darasuram, the agencies consult the Hereditary Trustee of the Palace Devasthanam when necessary to finalise any issue which requires the Trustee's input.
However, since the nomination of the extended property , the Archaeological Survey of India the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments, Government of Tamil Nadu, have, in principle, agreed to draft a joint property management plan encompassing the specific requirements of both while meeting the fundamental objectives of protecting and promoting (1) the three cultural properties while enhancing their Outstanding Universal Value; (2) the Vedic and Agamic traditions and their significance in the life of the people; (3) the arts (sculpture, painting, bronze casting, dance, music and literature) inseparable components of traditional culture; and (4) the ancient science of vastu and silpa shastras, the fundamental guidelines to the construction of temples and religious structures, and to sculpture and painting.
Since the inscription of property as World Heritage property, the monuments have been maintained in a good state of preservation and no major threats affect the monuments. Periodic maintenance and monitoring of the monuments by Archaeological Survey of India keeps the monuments to the expectation of tourists. However a Tourism Management and Interpretation Plan and a Conservation Management Plan are required to guide future work and determine priorities for conservation and interpretation effort. Basic amenities like water, toilets, etc. have been provided attracting more tourists to the place. Improving landscaping and tourist amenities are some of the long term plans. The temples have been centres of worship for the last 800-1000 years and continue to serve in this way. Monitoring of visitor numbers and impacts is necessary to ensure that they do not threaten the Outstanding Universal Value.
Long Description
The Great Chola Temples of southern India are an exceptional testimony to the development of the architecture and the ideology of the Chola Empire and the Tamil civilization in southern India. They represent an outstanding creative achievement in the architectural conception of the pure form of the Dravida type of temple (characterized by a pyramidal tower).
The Cholas were the second great historic dynasty of the Tamil Nadu, the Tamil country, which was the home of the ancient Dravidian culture whose influence was so considerable in the whole of south-east Asia. The great temple of Tanjore was built in a few years, from 1003 to 1010, during the reign of the great king Rajaraja (985-1014), true founder of the Chola Empire which spread throughout the whole of southern India, part of Ceylon and the Maldive and Laccadive archipelagos. Richly endowed by the sovereign, the sanctuary, which also bears his name - it is sometimes called Rajarajesvaram - had a permanent staff of several hundred priests, 400 devadasi (sacred dancers), and 57 musicians, according to inscriptions and chronicles. The Brihadisvara's income in gold, silver and precious stones during the Chola period has been precisely evaluated. These vast resources were efficiently managed and provided not only for the upkeep and improvement of the buildings (which was continued until the 17th century) but also for real investments to be made. The temple lent money, at rates which could sometimes reach 30%, to shipowners, village assemblies and craft guilds. Dedicated to Shiva, the Brihadisvara stands to the south-west of the historic city. A first rectangular surrounding wall, 270 m by 140 m, marks the outer boundary.
This is dominated on the east side by a 30 m high entrance gateway (gopuram). A second wall, with its entrance in line with the first and crowned with a smaller gopuram decorated with two dvarapala (gatekeepers), surrounds a colonnaded inner courtyard. The temple itself, built from granite blocks and, in part, of bricks, is oriented east-west like the courtyard. The layout takes its inspiration from the Pallava tradition, and especially from the layout of the Shore Temple in Mahabalipuram. There is a succession of halls and vestibules (mukta-mandapa, maha-mandapa, ardha-mandapa) leading to the shrine, which is crowned with a 13-storey pyramidal tower. This vimana, which is 60.95 m high and, in turn, crowned with a bulb-shaped monolith weighing an estimated 70 tonnes, is rightly considered to be one of the architectural masterpieces of India. The intricately carved decorations covering the outer walls of the temple are continued inside by the well known representations of the 108 poses of the Bharata-Natyam, the classical Indian dance, mimed by Shiva in person.
The iconographic programme, inspired by Shiva mythology, also consists of a series of murals from the Chola period which decorate the corridor around the shrine. The famous series depicting Rajaraja in conversation with his guru, Karuvur Devar, gives a good idea of the graphic quality, the delicacy of the colours, the expressiveness of the characters which make this sequence one of the great masterpieces of Chola art. Inside the inner courtyard, the Nandi-mandapa, a pavilion which houses the colossal statue of Nandi, the bull mounted by Shiva (vahana), is of very great interest. The temple of Devi, built in the 13th century by the Pandya king Konerinmaikondan, the temple of Subrahmanya, built and covered with carvings in the 17th century by a Nayak king of Madurai, together with additional temples and chapels of a later date (temple of Ganesh, mandapa of Nataraja) complete this remarkable religious architectural group.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC

Despite the fact that there is no such thing as a good form of oppression some people cannot stop themselves from engaging in oppression Olympics. The desire to rank one social stigmatization as worse than another is a denial of privilege. It was with much disgust that I came across, "Lesson of the 2008 Election Is That Sexism Is Still More Pervasive Than Racism", by Bonnie Erbe in U.S. News & World Report.
It is easy for a white woman who has never been subject to racism to announce that sexism is socially more pervasive. She does not know what it is like to be told, you don't sound black simply because you know words that have more than two syllables. She has never been directed to cheaper items in a store because it is assumed that blacks are too poor to afford luxury items. I wonder if she has even been asked to leave a room so that someone could tell a black joke?
Blackness exists with a monolithic identity and therefore being asked to speak as a representative of my race is a common occurrence and yet I have never been asked to speak on behalf of all women. This has happened in the most liberal of environments because despite the tolerance mantra, for some people not only do we all look alike, we think alike.
A white woman is capable of asserting that sexism is more acceptable simply because she has never been subjected to racism. To exist as a body of colour in a world that is predicated on maintaining white hegemony is to daily be marginalized, and 'othered'.
Erbe takes great care to point out that Obama has been the subject of racism but her desire to compare this with the sexism faced by both Palin and Clinton is yet another example of white privilege. It is telling that her examples of sexist attacks are limited to white women, thus effectively erasing the experiences of women of colour. When Michelle Obama was called a "baby's momma", by Fox news that was a specifically genderized attack based in race and yet it did not qualify as a legitimately misogynistic to be referenced. Where is her outrage that an educated, intelligent woman like Michelle Obama is routinely reduced to a bitter, enraged ABW (angry black woman) by the likes of Limbaugh and O'Reilly?
For women like Erbe sexism can only trump race because they ignore the experiences of women of colour. Womanhood is routinely represented by white women and therefore the idea that they consist of a class of people that are uniquely marginalized is not only an exercise in white privilege, it is patently racist and othering.
While stating that, "white men still feel more comfortable sharing power with men of color than they do with white women or women of color", she ignores the role that white women have played in concert with men in the overvaluation of whiteness. Simply pointing out one clearly racist statement by Stanton does not erase the racism employed by white women in their bid to elect Hillary Clinton, nor does it eliminate the degree to which white women still profit from racism. The largest benefactors of affirmative action have been white women and this is not at all accidental. WOC despite occupying two areas of social marginalization have yet to make the same strides towards having our humanity actualized and valued and yet we are still female. Daily our cry is still ain't I a woman and it has been generations since Sojourner Truth made that famous speech.
One does not validate oppression by forcefully participating and encouraging the oppression of others. To truly seek a society based on mutuality and equality all forms of othering need to be eradicated. Had Erbe wanted to make a true analysis of race and gender she would have listened to the voices of WOC because who are better prepared to speak to this issue than those whose bodies are literally an intersection of both?
No matter how accomplished Barack Obama is, it is a racist supposition to normalize his experience as typical of all people of colour. If he is elected on Tuesday the racism that POC face will not diminish. The idea that his election can be used as a litmus test by white people to prove their anti-racist credentials is only proof of the ways in which color is still very much an issue in our society.
Articles like this are going to continue to be written as long as white people refuse to recognize the racism that their bodies operate with. Continually speaking as though their experience is the norm while ignoring the lived experience of WOC, is not only a direct act in maintenance of privilege, it is offensive to those of whose voices are silenced.
Sexism and racism are terrible scourges upon society; however they cannot be compared to each other in isolation of the ways in which they work in concert to effect the lives of WOC. Erbe cannot speak to this experience because she has never lived it, but her refusal to even acknowledge that one small fact informs me as a reader, that those of us who understand intersectionality must labour on to ensure that no one is created is invisible.

what the hell? Those ratings are not high enough, unless they've changed the ratings for every team. I mean if Detroit has players in the 30s and 40s then it's accurate, otherwise, Miami was snubbed.
im not happy with the ratings but................
1. it doesnt translate to what happens on sundays lol
2. ill still woop *** with this team online lol
This is a shammockery!!!!!!!!!
thats pretty whimpy, d is decent not that bad!
remember the rating will change with the updates
All of the ratings are lower this year...they announced that earlier.
I dont agree with V.Davis being rated over Will Allen
That's pathetic. Our receivers at least have solid enough stats to be deemed low 80 slot receivers. What they did to Will Allen is indescribable. Plus Dan Carpenter deserves better.

Interpretive Handbook
81420 :
Purine and Pyrimidine Panel, Urine
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Purines (adenine, guanine, xanthine, hypoxanthine) and pyrimidines (uracil, thymine, cytosine, orotic acid) are involved in all biological processes, providing the basis for storage, transcription, and translation of genetic information as RNA and DNA. Purines are required by all cells for growth and survival and also play a role in signal transduction and translation. Purines and pyrimidines originate primarily from endogenous synthesis, with dietary sources playing only a minor role. The end product of purine metabolism is uric acid (2,6,8-trioxypurine), which must be excreted continuously to avoid toxic accumulation.
Disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism can involve all organ systems at any age. The diagnosis of the specific disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism is based upon the clinical presentation of the patient, determination of specific concentration patterns of purine and pyrimidine metabolites, and confirmatory enzyme assays and/or molecular genetic testing.
There are numerous inborn errors of purine and pyrimidine metabolism that have been documented. Clinical features are dependent upon the specific disorder, but represent a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations that may include immunodeficiency, developmental delay, nephropathy, and neurologic involvement. The most commonly described disorder involves a deficiency of hypoxanthine phosphoribosyl transferase (HPRT), the majority of which have classic Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Lesch-Nyhan syndrome was described in 1964 as the first disorder of purine metabolism. It is an X-linked disorder characterized by severe neurologic impairment, the development of a compulsive self-destructive behavior, and uric acid nephropathy.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients with symptoms suspicious for disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism
Monitoring patients with disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism
Laboratory evaluation of primary and secondary hyperuricemias
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Abnormal concentrations of measurable compounds will be reported along with an interpretation. The interpretation of an abnormal metabolite pattern includes an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, possible differential diagnosis, recommendations for additional biochemical testing and confirmatory studies (enzyme assay, molecular analysis), name, and phone number of contacts who may provide these studies at the Mayo Clinic or elsewhere, and a phone number of the laboratory directors in case the referring physician has additional questions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Additional confirmatory testing is required for follow-up of abnormal results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Son has been into BBQ for a while, half and whole hogs, shoulders etc. Doing it for Veteran's groups, Fraternal order of Police etc.for their fund raisers.
He has been renting a ragged pit form a meat processing place. The last two times the pit's they gave him were nothing but problems. So as things go he decided he needed his own. He was going to build it with a friend that has built a number of them. Last minute the guy balks and backs out.
So I became the default builder.
I will say up front I know nothing about BBQ or the smokers. Since the guy that was to build it, bailed a week ago last Tuesday. We had to clean, season, and build the cooker box and fire box etc. as it is currently in use today on the other side of the state doing 170 plus pounds of pork shoulders for a veterans group.
It ain't pretty but it does the job, 4'x5' cooking grate area. I did learn what not to do when building one. As the info that was passed on to help us was bogus, wrong and was the points of more wasted time. So there will be some rework to be done before blasting and high temp painting of it.
We added 4 fold down trailer jacks to the frame so it could removed by placing the jacks on top of cinder blocks and lifting it up and sliding the trailer out. So it could be used for other things
Results 1 to 3 of 3
Thread: Smoker pit
Smoker pitglen, If your not on the edge, your wasting space
I hope your smoke stacks don't just connect to the top of the smoke box as they appear. The objective it to trap the smoke and heat, let it flavor and cook the meat and then exit. If they are just welded on top you're defeating the purpose of it being a "smoker" and you will get some uneven heat and cooking.
Here's one I built for a raffle to benefit the March of Dimes this year:
We raised nearly 6K. The guy that won it happens to be a buddy of mine and wants to sell it if anybody is interested.Miller Syncrowave 200
Homemade Water Cooler
Spectrum 375
60 year old Logan Lathe
Select Machine and Tool Mill
More stuff than I can keep track of..
Ok since all the ones that I have seen in person have the stacks either at the top or the top sides. It works well as he did 170 pounds of pork shoulders today. No complaints about the food.
So how do you guys out west do it. Considering the fire box is connected across the front of the tank width at the lower part. If the vents went down there it would just suck the heat and smoke out faster.
There are dampers on the ends of the stacks to control the amount of the draft going up them, along with a number of dampers over the air inlets to control the air in and rate of firing.

Thanks Shifty!
Favorite line in the song; "I don't wear no Steson/but I'm willin' to be son/I'm as big a Texan as you are/There's a girl in her bare feet/asleep in the back seat/
and the trunk's full of Pearl Beer and Lone Star"
Pearl and Lone Star both suck in the worst way. My Father in Law worked at the Pearl Brewery until it closed down in San Antonio.
He drank it out of loyalty, I suppose, because he bitched about it every can he drank.

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.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
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.
In this video, Aaron Daly offers his thoughts on theistic evolution, creation, and how Christians should handle disagreements over these issues. Most of all, Aaron highlights the need for love in our discussions with one another, especially when we disagree.
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.
Brian Godawa looks at several aspects of ancient cosmography (descriptions of the universe) that also appear in the Bible, and what these aspects of the text mean for our understanding of Scripture.
Philosopher Robert Bishop explores the Biblical doctrine of creation, which he describes as "perhaps one of the most helpful pieces of theology for thinking about science", and describes why the doctrine needs to be recovered from narrower, contemporary interpretations of creation.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
"As a Christian and a biblical scholar, I care both about Scripture as truth and about the ongoing scholarly conversation regarding the composition of the Hebrew Scriptures. And so, when I was asked to speak on the story of creation in Genesis 1, I welcomed the opportunity to give my thoughts on the interaction between this text and its ancient Near Eastern context."
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright explores how the ancient Jewish audience read Genesis before and up to the time that Jesus arrived. He asserts that readers of Genesis today who focus simply on the number of days of creation and whether there is evidence in the text pointing to an old or new earth—are in effect not reading the complete text.
John Walton offers some important reminders in this video with regard to how we should approach a reading of the book of Genesis. While it is a text that is written for us—in the sense that it was written for all people in all times and places—it was not written to us.
Professor Denis Lamoureux presents the theory of evolutionary creation, which claims that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit created the universe and life through an ordained, sustained, and design-reflecting evolutionary process. The view of origins, says Lamoureux, fully embraces both the religious beliefs of biblical Christianity and the scientific theories of cosmological, geological, and biological evolution.
Does BioLogos believe that God is the creator? Yes, all Christians believe this; the question is, how did God create?
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
This entry was originally posted on February 11, 2010. In this brief video, Professor Schloss addresses what he sees as the two primary reasons that evangelical Christians oppose evolutionary theory.
We're excited to announce that the documentary From the Dust can now be purchased and rented through the iTunes Store!
In this paper, theologian John Wesley Wright reviews Connor Cunningham's book Darwin's Pious Idea, a work that deeply explores the integration of Darwinian evolutionary theory and Christian faith.
In this week's video, biblical historian John Dickson speaks about how to read the text of Genesis 1.
In this video "Conversation" John Walton discusses that the account in Genesis 1 is not intended to be an account of material origins.
Biologist and BioLogos Senior Fellow Denis Venema examines the interaction between RTB literature and several lines of genetics-based evidence for common ancestry. In so doing, he also addresses the scientific robustness and reliability of the RTB model.
What are the theological consequences that would arise from evolution being false or physically impossible?

Bliss (Mutluluk)
When 17-year-old Meryem is found disheveled and unconscious by the side of a lake in the countryside, her family believes the worst -- that her chastity has been lost. They turn to the ancient principle of "tore," a strict moral code that condemns Meryem to death. The duty of upholding the family's honor falls upon a distant cousin, Cemal, who has just completed a brutal tour in the military. Together they embark on a surprising journey across traditional and modern-day Turkey.

Lane Restrictions on I-65 Next Week
For Installation of Traffic Sensors
INDIANAPOLIS – Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) contractors plan to restrict traffic lanes on I-65 during overnight hours next week to replace traffic sensors in the roadway.
Beginning at 9 p.m. on Monday, June 3, the two left lanes of southbound I-65 will be restricted between Southport Road and the Emerson Avenue overpass until 5 a.m. Tuesday.
On Tuesday night from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., the right lane of southbound I-65 will be restricted at the same location.
Crews will replace sensors in each lane that are used to continuously collect data, such as vehicle size and traffic volumes. This work is weather dependent and will be rescheduled in the event of rain.
