Why should Christians consider evolutionary creation?
Because evolution is a challenging subject, many Christians are tempted to simply ignore or reject it. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and with our relationships with other people—believers and non-Christians alike. First, Christians should study evolution because (like all the natural sciences) it is the study of God's creation. Creation itself is a complementary revelation to what is communicated in the Scriptures, and through it God shows how and when he brought about life, to his honor and glory. Studying the creation is also an invitation into a deeper understanding of the attributes and character of Father, Son and Spirit. Second, considering evolutionary creation aids the Church in its gospel mission, supporting young Christians in their faith, helping answer critics, and equipping us to engage effectively in the wider culture. An anti-evolution attitude can harm Christian young people by presenting them with a false choice between pursuing science OR holding to faith. Similarly, a hostile attitude towards evolution can hinder evangelism when seekers hear that they must reject science to follow Christ. On the other hand, studying evolution as a God-ordained process helps Christians refute arguments that science encourages an atheistic worldview. Furthermore, as the church engages front-page issues raised by the rapid growth in science, medicine, and technology, a Christ-centered voice in such areas as bioethics will be stronger if based on a thorough understanding of the natural sciences, including evolution.

How is BioLogos different from Evolutionism, Intelligent Design, and Creationism?
We at BioLogos believe that God used the process of evolution to create all the life on earth today. While we accept the science of evolution, we emphatically reject evolutionism. Evolutionism is the atheistic worldview that says life developed without God and without purpose. Instead, we agree with Christians who adhere to Intelligent Design and Creationism that the God of the Bible created the universe and all life. Christians disagree, however, on how God created. Young Earth Creationists believe that God created just 6,000 to 10,000 years ago and disagree with much of mainstream science. Supporters of Intelligent Design accept more of evolutionary science, but argue that some features of life are best explained by direct intervention by an intelligent agent rather than by God's regular way of working through natural processes. We at BioLogos agree with the modern scientific consensus on the age of the earth and evolutionary development of all species, seeing these as descriptions of how God created. The term BioLogos comes from the Greek words bios (life) and logos (word), referring to the opening of the Gospel of John. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made."

Since launching in 1994, HGTV has grown exponentially to include an impressive collection of entertaining and informative home decorating and improvement shows. The channel is available in the United States and Canada and can be found on channel 450 on AT&T U-verse in most viewing areas. Not an AT&T U-verse customer? Switch now with a Uverse coupon code and depending on which plan you get, you may receive up to $200 in a promotion card!
Below we will highlight three of the network's favorite shows:
Gardening By The Yard – Premiering in 1996, the show featured gardener Paul James and many of the episodes were taped in his own backyard in Oklahoma. The premise was to show homeowners how to create a great looking garden without having to spend too much time or effort. Focus is placed on the simple basics of gardening, rather than getting into anything too fancy.
Yard Crashers – It's an interesting premise – unsuspecting shoppers casually browsing around in their local home improvement store are approached by host Ahmed Hassan, a professional landscaper who offers to go home with them and give their property the Cinderella treatment. Many shoppers are so taken off guard they aren't sure how to react. Others think it is a complete hoax and turn him down before he can start to make his case. Yet eventually Ahmed always manages to find an individual or couple who agree to bring the whole crew home with them. What follows is a total makeover on their yards and porches that never fails to amaze.
The Outdoor Room With Jamie Durie – Australian Jamie Durie is an award-winning landscape designer who has traveled across the pond to create many an exquisite outdoor oasis. Trouble is, he was unable to bring along his own hometown design team, so he has gathered together a new bunch of noteworthy designers. Each episode features an exacting new challenge that tests the skill and patience of each of his workers as they fight to please their perfectionist boss. Despite all of the sweat and tears, the outcome is always magnificent.
Enjoy these and many other entertaining gardening shows on HGTV!

There's nothing like gameday in Knoxville! Over 100,000 students, alumni and fans gather at magnificent Neyland Stadium for every home game, creating a deafening sea of orange that sends most visiting teams hightailing it home in defeat. This amazing panoramic poster features second-quarter action of the Vols' October 27, 2001 victory over SEC rival South Carolina Gamecocks - a victory that helped propel the team to a 10-2 season and a trip to the Citrus Bowl, where they ripped Michigan 45-17 to cap a stellar season!
Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every single detail is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are at the stadium, dressed in orange, cheering on the boys on an absolutely stunning Saturday evening. You can read the scoreboard, see the players on the sideline and on the field, the cheerleaders, the marching bands, and even the hated opposing school's section. If you've been to a Vols home game, or even if you're an armchair fan, you'll love this piece - just looking at it makes you feel like you're there on gameday! Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

There are very few groups of people that I would like to go on a random shooting spree through, but
Code Pink is one of those groups. I really believe CP is one of the most vapid, horrible, loathesome
collections of what could loosely be called human beings around.
Really, I don't care about why they are dressing up as vaginas. I didn't read, and I don't care. Them
camping out at the back gate to Walter Reed AMC and screaming at wounded servicemen and women
that were incoming that they were all manner of horrible thing.
Then we have the whole matter of the Wars in Iraq and Afganistan. When Bush was in charge, it's a war

A violent thunderstorm predicted for Thursday afternoon arrived during the commute home for thousands of Southern Marylanders, including St. Mary's motorists caught in traffic from falling trees as more than 12,000 power outages were reported in the county.
The National Weather Service got calls from trained spotters that a rotation had been spotted at about 3:45 p.m. in the skies above the intersection of Route 235 and Hermanville Road, south of Lexington Park. St. Mary's 911 dispatchers received calls about utility poles falling in the Compton area and on Lawrence Avenue in Leonardtown, along with trees down on Route 5 in Leonardtown and Redgate, on Fairgrounds Road and across St. Andrew's Church Road in California.
Michael Martirano, superintendent of St. Mary's public schools, reported that about 50 people showed up at Great Mills High School that afternoon, seeking shelter. They were let in, he wrote, but they were told by an officer to go home once the immediate storm passed.
"We did see what looked like a funnel cloud moving south of Leonardtown," the superintendent said by email just after the storm passed. "The storm was quick and violent."
Several schools lost power during the afternoon storm, according to Martirano. Thursday marked the last day of school for St. Mary's public schools, and because of early dismissals all buses were finished their routes by the time the storm blew through after 3 p.m.
Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative's outage map showed 12,554 customers out of power in St. Mary's at about 4:30 p.m., in areas such as Leonardtown, Great Mills, California and Hollywood.
Volunteer firefighters were cutting up the tree on St. Andrew's Church Road as Laurence and Avis Smith of Lusby sat in a Hyundai Genesis, stuck in the muddy tracks of other vehicles that successfully went through a yard to bypass the blocked roadway.
"I was following the flow of traffic," Laurence Smith said. "I'm the guy who got stuck."
Staff writers Jesse Yeatman and Jason Babcock also contributed to this report.

make up your mind, everytime the Jets defense is criticized you blame it on the offense, and everytime Sanchez is criticized its never him its the defense
meanwhile all Jets fans talk about is their "elite" defense which constantly collapses when it matters, and talk about their "franchise QB" who craps the bed every time he plays a good team (and bad team ala Broncos) and the defense and running game cant bail him out as usual
The biggest liability on that team is Rex Ryan... It's only a matter of time before the curtain gets pulled back and we see the Defensive Wizard of Oz is really a toe-sucking blow hard of a head coach who's been getting by on hype and enthusiasm for too long. Once he hits bottom, he ain't climbing back up. IMO he will be back at Defenisve Coordinator for another team within 4 years. Hell, hell probably be coaching defense with Sparano coaching o-line on the Rams or something.
(For the record, I thought Belichuk would turn out to be failure with the Pats as well... shows what I know)

Rep. Gabrielle Giffords stood on both feet with assistance and looked out a window, another milestone in her recovery after a gunman fired a bullet through her brain during an attack in Tucson, Ariz., 11 days ago, according to University Medical Center officials.
She soon will be moved to a hospital in Houston.
Giffords is expected to be transported Friday to the Institute for Rehabilitation and Research at Houston's Memorial Hermann hospital, which specializes in brain injuries, her office said today. The exact day of the move could change, depending on Giffords' condition.
The institute, also known as TIRR Memorial Hermann, is part of the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical center in the world. Giffords' office said in a statement that facilities across the country had been considered for her rehabilitation but TIRR was chosen because of its reputation and proximity to Tucson.
Her husband, astronaut Capt. Mark Kelly, lives in Houston, where he trains at NASA's Johnson Space Center.
The congresswoman is the last of the shooting victims remaining at Tucson's University Medical Center, the hospital said today.
Giffords' mother told friends and family Tuesday that her daughter was showing "higher levels of comprehension and complex actions," even flipping through photos on her husband's iPhone, according to an e-mail message obtained by the New York Times.
In a poignantly personal interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer that aired Tuesday night, Capt. Kelly opened up about his wife Gabrielle Giffords' recovery and the shooting that injured her and killed six people.
Kelly, who has been photographed by his wife's hospital bed holding her hand, said there is a habit of hers that has convinced him that she recognizes him.
"If I hold her hand, she'll play with my wedding ring," he said. "She'll move it up and down my finger. She'll take it off. ... She'll put it on her own finger. She'll move it to her thumb. And then she can put it back on my finger.
"The reason why I know that that means she recognizes me is because she's done that before. She'll do that if we're sitting in a restaurant. She'll do the same exact movements," he said.
Kelly was struck by Giffords' progress again when "she stuck her hand up on the side of my face" and began giving him a neck massage.
"She spent 10 minutes rubbing my neck and I keep telling her, 'Gabby, you're in the ICU. You know, you don't need to be doing this," he said with a chuckle.
Kelly added, "I'm pretty sure she wouldn't do that to somebody else. And she's looking me in the eye."
Nevertheless, he is still unsure about the extent of her eventual recovery.
"At times I'm 100 percent confident that she's going to make a 100 percent recovery," he told Sawyer. "And, you know, at other times I don't know."
Later Kelly said, "She's got a great sense of humor. I've thought about whether that part of her will be the same."
Now in Tucson's University Hospital, Kelly is closely monitoring his wife's recovery, tackling every detail with the same focus he brings to his job as a space shuttle commander. In the first days after the attack, he slept in the hospital and only recently has begun to stay in a hotel across the street.

The long-time chairman of Allen County's Republican Party will have at least one challenger when precinct officials elect their next leader in March.
Jason Arp, a financial planner and tea party activist, has filed to oppose incumbent Steve Shine, saying the party – especially at the national level – has failed to offer voters "a real choice of distinction from the Democrats . . . party leadership seems to overwhelmingly select candidates for national office who are less than stellar . . . and appear to be disingenuous at best."
Locally, Arp said, the GOP must promote debate within the party and with the public, serving as an advocate for the ideals that founded the country, such as liberty, personal responsibility and limited government.
Shine, who has served as chairman for about 20 years, easily won re-election four years ago against four challengers, gaining 211 votes to chief rival and tea party activist Ric Runestad's 88. Shine said he's not worried this time, either.
"The party's never been in better shape. It's 20 years I'm very proud of. We've had a great mix of people in the party, and worked as a team," he said.
Just last month, Arp wrote a guest column in The News-Sentinel in which he criticized the federal debt and the deal to avoid the so-called "fiscal cliff." Going over that cliff, he argued, "is the only way to reduce the deficits and the overall size of government." Arp is a member of the steering committee of the Allen 9-12 group.
Shine, however, questioned Arp's commitment to the party or politics, saying he did not vote in the 2010 and 2011 general elections or the May 2011 primary.

This past weekend marked the 10 year anniversary of the Ludum Dare 48 Hour Game Competition. I've posted about the Ludum Dare challenge before.
This time, for Ludum Dare 23, the theme was Tiny World. Not only was it historic in the sense of it being the 10th anniversary of the LD48 challenge, but this is also the first time that 1,000 games have been submitted to the competition. As of this writing, there are 1160 games submitted and still about 6 hours left in the Game Jam.
This also marks my first entry in the challenge. I wasn't planning to enter this time, but halfway through the first day I decided to do it. And I knew I wouldn't have any time to work on it the second day, so I essentially had 12 hours to make a game (prototype). And I did! Then when I went to submit it I found out that my game didn't qualify for the 48 hour competition because I used some assets and things that were made by other people/before the challenge started. But it still qualified for the 72 hour Game Jam. It also meant that I had some time to work on it today.
The game I made is called Be Tiny, World! I'm considering it pretty much finished and I've already submitted it to LD.
Play it (or download it) here: http://btw.deozaan.com/
Available for Windows/Mac/Linux/Android, and in the browser.
If you're interested in watching me create the game, you can watch the timelapse videos:

Hello! I was looking for a good banana nut bread recipe to make to give as Christmas gifts along with a Yankee Banana Nut Bread candle. This recipe is fantastic. The bread is wonderful and is very attractive to wrap in cellophane and give in a gift bag. I tweeked the recipe a little, at the suggestion of some other readers. I used 1 1/2 cup of RIPE bananas. I also added 1/2 tsp cinnamon to the batter. As a finishing touch, I mixed a tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of sugar and about 1/4 cup of oatmeal flakes and then sprinkled them on the top. It is delicious and moist!
I'm only giving this 3 stars because I followed the recipe and it turned out very dry. However, the taste was still delicious. I will try it again using more bananas and perhaps cutting down on the flour a bit.

Really good, classic banana nut bread taste. Use lots of extra banana, especially if you are generous with the nuts - they seem to cut a little of the banana-ness from the flavor (I doubled the recipe and poured the first loaf without nuts before adding them to the batter for the second loaf. The no-nut version, although the very same batter, was much more banana-ier!). I also followed the suggestion of an earlier reviewer and sprinkled the batter with extra oatmeal before baking - what a pretty touch! We will definitely use this recipe again.
I had some left-over banana's from Christmas and wanted to try a new recipe. My old recipe turned out a dense, drier type of loaf that usually ended up too brown and too crumbly. I surfed onto this recipe and gave it a shot. WOW! This is an awesome bread! I love the texture as well as the taste. The addition of the oats is a big plus too. I added a bit (1/4 tsp.) of cinnamon to my batter, and topped it with a brown sugar/oats/cinnamon struesel type of topping. It turned out great, and I am making another loaf in the morning! I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone. It is quick, easy, and sensational. Thanks for the recipe and God bless!
great recipe! I used fat-free vanilla yogurt for half the shortening and it turned out fantastic.
Very good banana nut bread with the added twist of oatmeal. I think I baked it too long this time because it turned out a bit dry, but moistness actually improved as bread sat.
I made this last week for my church group, served it with honey butter and there wasn't a crumb left!
Very good! I lowered it a star because there were no spices. I added 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg, and 1/4 tsp cloves. I also substituted butter for the shortening. I believe I used 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup white sugar too. I used 4 brown/black bananas which were more than the 1 cup banana called for. I added twice the nuts (a full 1 cup). I took the suggestion of some and turned the oven down to 325*F. I made muffins and after 23 minutes they were perfect! I also used the topping another reviewer suggested: 1/8 cup oats, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 1 tsp cinnamon. They were soo pretty with the oats on top! Thank you!

For a wrestling fan, 2013 had its share of ups and downs. WWE really began pushing some new stars to the top, TNA took a step backwards, and the industry began making a change, trending away from pay-per-view revenue and stressing television deals.
Talent-wise we've been very fortunate and have seen some truly fantastic matches. On the flip side, we've seen some truly disappointing storylines. We have to roll with the punches and take everything as it comes, but we can hope for better, right?
2014 rang in just a couple of days ago, and I have five things I would like to see come out of wrestling as a whole. We're looking at a very interesting moment of transition right now. Let's see how many of these things come true. These are more wishes than resolutions, but resolutions makes a better title, right? Let's get started!

The Island of Flores
A fascinating, mountainous and remarkable beautiful island, flores has a volcanic topography that has longed shaped its destiny. A chain of cones stretches the length of this verdant island, provoking a complicated relief of V-shaped valeys and knife-edge ridges-terrain that was near- impenatrable until recent years and that has separated the island into many distinct ethnic groups. Flores is Portuguese for "flowers", located in east of Sumbawa and Komodo and in west of Lembata and the Alor Archipelago. Flores is a home of the unique culture, nature beauties, traditional villages and more.
Flores has the most remarkable sight in Nusa Tenggara, the sublime multihued crater lakes of kalimutu, terrific beaches around Labuan Bajo and east of Maumere, and idyllic offshore islands with fine snorkelling. Flores's sea has a rich and amazing underwater sea biotica. Divers claim that Komodo waters are one of the best diving sites in the world. It has fascinating underwater scenery.
Flores island is also the home to some of the most traditional ceremonies and rituals of both Catholic and Animalistic backgrounds. The breath taking ritual whip fighting dance of Manggari called Caci, the solemn Catholic Easter festival in Larantuka and Penti ceremony are some traditional ceremonies we can enjoy here. Traditional boxing bouts called "sagi" or "etu" still take place on a regular basis in Bajawa inviting all to witness this age old sport which is again based on their traditional belief of survival of the fittest! In addition, relics and artifacts are to be found throughout the length and breadth of Flores Island, like the prehistoric bronze boat from the Dongsong era, called Dobo or Baobatung in a village near Maumere, where it is carefully kept by the people as an ancestral heirloom.
And the most popular thing we can see in Flores is The Komodo Dragon (Varanus komodoensis) which is an endangered species that can only be found in the Komodo National Park (KNP) in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). Because of the unique and rare nature of this animal, KNP was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1986.

text: I find your post and your dealings with GoFins a bit ironic considering its in the very thread where you complained about other people being condescending and immature. Be that as it may, I think it is clear that you do not understand the nature of facts and even the basics of epistemology for that matter. I never said that the facts themselves change (although they certainly can because they are merely observations and our observations are not infallible), I said that the interpretation of the facts depends on your belief system, which it does. For example, you and I are going to have very different interpretations for the fossil record and what it means in relation to the history of life on Earth; same fact, two very different conclusions.

This is a horrible oversight.
This needs to be at the top of the list. That sidebar fills up very quick and I do not like having things stuck there. I can't remember what is an on-going chat and what is old. Being able to move the more recent to the top is a good idea as well.
This needs to be solved soon.

It works just like on the Mac desktop.
Recent conversations are at the top, under "Recent". After a certain time period, they are moved to History. if you open something in History, it gets moved back to Recents. If you clear something from Recents (swipe the contact name/chat name under Recent), it goes to History.

Hi Andre,
why did you move the posts to the MAC version? It was correctly placed as the problem is an iPAD problem. The MAC version works fine and you can really delete recent and history. On the iPAD you can do as well but as soon as you log out and log in again the "old" and deleted records are back....
PS: Any ETA on that issue?

HP Z3100: Can't profile Epson Enhanced Matte
April 27, 2012, 02:58:29 PM »
I recently bought a used Z3100 24" in good conditions. I had to change the belt and I cleaned the carriage, printheads, and carefully cleaned the Spectophotometer because it had some remains of ink spray. I replaced a worn printhead. I calibrated everything, paper advance, color, etc.
I have successfully created profiles for the two following media:
* Epson Ultra Premium Luster Photo paper
* Lexjet Metallic Paper
Last night I received a new roll of Epson Enhanced Matte. I started by creating a new paper preset, named it, then named the ICC profile. After loading the roll, the Z3100 then printed the small colored pattern (for calibration, it's always the first step), it waited for it to dry, then the carriage came out and started reading the pattern.
Everything was normal until now. But then, just after the sensor finished reading (I assume it's calculating) the front panel suddenly says "Cancelling" and the whole process stops. The computer then shows a message "Calibration failed, try again" or something in that lines and the process also stops.
I tried repeating the process with different settings (matte photo paper, Professional Matte Photo, even Premium Instant Dry just to see if it would even finish), rebooting both the printer and PC with no success. It always does the same, prints the first pattern, reads it, then cancels itself...
Just to confirm if I had a sensor failure, I loaded the Luster paper and run a calibration to it. Printed, read and finished with no problems! I've seen other people are able to calibrate this particular paper, so any help is appreciated.
One more note: I had to uninstall Internet Explorer 9 as a solution to a failure in the HP Color Center software (I read this somewhere). In the Color Center software, when trying to open the "Profile Paper" option, the window would show up briefly and then disappear. So I solved that, but the problem with the calibration on Epson Enhanced Matte persists. I think I saw this behavior before with HP Collector Satin Canvas, but that one is know because the way the texture reflects light in all directions would cause inaccurate readings... but with Matte paper???.
I tried both using the USB port and also the Ethernet cable. Both communicated well, same problem happened.
My Z3100 has the FW 7 version.
Any ideas? thank you!

Thank you,
The problem is that even if I use another paper preset, I can't calibrate the paper itself, it cancels the process and gives me an error, reports it as not calibrated.
There seems to be some issue with this particular paper because as soon as I calibrated another paper it succeeded, went back to the Matte and failed again.
Another option... Does anybody have a proper ICC profile for the Epson Enhanced Matte on a Z3100 with FW 6 or later that you are willing to share?.

Still keeping an XP system at hand here for more software that is not becoming better with every OS change. It is the most reliable system to do calibrations and profiling on the Z3100 + Z3200 too. Even then I have to restart the printers from time to time to keep those features going. That is purely a software issue your problem seems different. I have had problems like that but can not recall exactly what the reason was.
Did you calibrate other matte papers? Which media preset did you use to create the custom media preset for EEM/EAM? Are the gloss profiles. gloss prints as good as they can be? There could be an issue with the spectrometer or there could be an expectation in the software for certain values that are not met, based on the chosen media preset. Just a guess. Some media presets even do not allow calibration if I recall it correctly, bond paper category.
I must have an APS created Z3100 profile for EEM somewhere. Probably based on HP Matte Litho-Realistic. Not the best choice after all if I compare the spectral plots, HP Premium Matte should fit better + has a similar weight.
Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst

Hi Ernst,
I think I'm close to nail this problem down. I have been able to calibrate and profile glossy and luster media but not ANY of my matte medias: Epson Enhanced Matte Photo paper or Epson Exhibition Canvas Matte.
For both of these I have tried different flavors of settings in Color Center with no success. I used to have a Z3200 and I know that the software is flaky, but the fact that glossy and luster media Calibrate properly and create profiles with no problems and I can't get pass the Calibration with ANY Matte media indicates to me that the printer is not reading the Calibration patch properly due to programming (firmware).
I think there's a bug with FW 220.127.116.11. I read a post in the HP forums about the exact same problem. The guy involved explained how the technicians changed almost every part in the printer that could cause this with no success (PCA, Formatter, Carriage, Spectrophotometer...), he never mentions about trying to go back to FW 22.214.171.124.
Some other guy solved this same problem by replacing a printhead because it was not laying down the patch to be read. I hope my problem was that easy! all the patches show up properly. The patches for the Color Calibration are different for Matte or Glossy as you know. The black ink is different.
Could you confirm something to me? In my printer, with glossy/luster media, the calibration patch prints strips of hexagons with 10 inks while with Matte media there are 11 strips of hexagons. Is it the same with yours? See the quick cellphone image I attached. On top, the glossy, on bottom the Matte, see the extra Black strip on the left. I assume this is the Matte Black ink, not used in Glossy media.
I also checked the error log in the printer and all of these errors are 94:08. They are related to the sensor but gives some hint at an error in a specific line of the code, blames "writing systems". I think HP screwed something up with this FW version. I don't believe it's a sensor failure since it's able to do the whole thing right with non-matte media.
Anyway, what I did is that I loaded the paper as "HP Lithorealistic Matte" and then used Ian's profile in Photoshop to print. It worked very well, thank you... But I want to solve this problem. I still have the Epson Exhibition Canvas and also a Hanhemuhle Textured Matte that I need to calibrate but I haven't found any ICC profiles for the Z3100 and those media out there...
Last thing I tried last night was to reinstall FW version 188.8.131.52 but the only file I found out there for download was unsuccessful... HP does not have it in their website anymore.
Do you have a copy of the FW 184.108.40.206 file (about 360MB) that you are willing to share with me?.
Or do you know somebody who might have it? I will start another post for this file and also the ICC profiles I need, I might get lucky and get by for the meantime.
Thank you!

I know you have experience with the Z3200 and have successfully profiled some glossy papers on the Z3100, but I cant help but think that your problem is related to the presets you chose before starting the calibration. Some comments:
1. Yes, to answer your question, Matte has 10 hexagons and glossy has 11 in the calibration strip.
2. The profile I created was done on FW 126.96.36.199 and I think the preset was Fine Art Paper, but it might have been Photo Paper Matte, the only difference between the two is the ink limit.
3. In my very poor understanding of the process combined with HPs Color Center (surely one of the worst pieces of software inflicted on mankind), the process of dealing with a new paper is in two parts. First you select a Preset, from among the limited choices available to you. Then you rename your paper and calibrate it.
4. Choosing the Preset used to be some kind of mystery until I found the following pdf which explains it to some degree:
So now what I do is pick something from the allowed list which comes close to the paper I want to calibrate and go from there.
Before wandering off with FW 6, I suggest you use one of the presets I mentioned in point 2 above, and go from there. If that does not work then you have something very strange going on.

Hi Ian,
When I created the Paper Preset for the Epson Enhanced Matte (EEM) in Color Center, I tried it several times choosing the following on the presets:
* Photo Paper: Photo Paper Matte
* Photo Paper: HP Litho-Realistic Matte
* Fine Art Paper: HP Matte Canvas (I only tried this to see if I could cheat since being Matte it would use the same patterns to Calibrate and Profile).
None of them worked. The failure mode was exactly the same in all of them. When it finishes scanning the Calibration patch, it suddenly displays "Cancelling..." "Calibration failed due to scanning problems" and on the PC a message pops "Calibration Failed, please try again".
So, I moved on, I have a new roll of Epson Exhibition Canvas that I needed to create a Paper Preset for so I started the process, I chose:
* Fine Art: HP Professional Matte Canvas
Needless to say, it also failed to even calibrate. So, my problem is narrowed to ALL Matte media.
There's no error codes, but I noticed that with each failure, it recorded a warning, here's the list of warnings, all of them are 94:08. See the two images attached describing the warning. It's funny that it points to Writing Systems and a line of code in a particular file.
So I thought that the Firmware got corrupted since it always points to that file. I reloaded FW 184.108.40.206 from scratch, successfully. I also removed the Formatter in the printer and blew away tons of dust. Then I tried to Calibrate the Epson Matte paper... same fail mode again! So it's not FW, at least that has been proven.
Tonight I will try to load Color Center and all the drivers in my wife's laptop, just to see if it's a SW issue in my particular laptop, even though I uninstalled and reinstalled everything twice. I know sometimes there are leftovers in the Registry that mess up things.
Lastly, just two more thoughts:
1) The date/time in the printer is ahead by almost a day. If you see one of the images I attached, it says April 30th and I did this last night (29th) at around 9PM. I didn't find anywhere on the printer or color center to change that. I just wonder if the date mismatch to the computer gives problems when trying to save the calibration file or whatever...
2) My printer has the HPGL2 upgrade but I've never used it. Is there an advantage for fine art/photography prints? I read that is mostly for CAD applications.
I'll let you know what happens. Let me know your thoughts.

the HP service manual say:
System Error: 94:YZ
Color calibration Error.
Try the following:
Profiling failed due to a different error (not algorithm / data processing).
Perform the Color Sensor (ESP) calibration. You must use glossy paper for
this calibration.
If the System Error continues, replace the Carriage PCA
If the System Error continues, replace the Formatter
System Error: 94.1:YZ
Profiling algorithm failed.

I tried calibrating the ESP sensor last night with success, but it didn't use the paper or even moved the carriage at all, I don't know if that's normal. I also tried Drop Detect sensor calibration and Line Sensor calibration with success. When I tried the Scan Axis test it failed because it couldn't detect voltage feedback from the Power supply fan and the test stopped. I know the fan is turning, I've seen it when I disassembled the printer.
So after all of these messing around I tried to calibrate... failed. I tried it directly from the control panel.
Any more ideas? I can only point to a faulty ESP sensor, but it said it calibrated fine.

Hi there,
No, unfortunately I couldn't fix it. I'm suspecting that the electronics of the spectophotometer on the carriage PCA or even on the main power supply PCA have gone bad. I got a hold of a new power supply and will replace it as soon as the thing fails completely but so far I've been able to keep printing as usual.
My workaround to create icc profiles has been to go to the internet and look for the icc profiles done with the specific paper on this printer. So far so good, I don't use that many papers.
Sorry... if there's any updates I'll let you know, it's frustrating, I know.
Oh, I'm also suspecting that a blotch of ink from the service station somehow got into the little window of the spectophotometer but you have to disassemble the whole carriage to get to this so I haven't tried it yet.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I tried cleaning the Spectro, but still the same problem. Its totally bizarre on how it will calibrate satin or gloss medias with no problems. Also profiles that I have created in the past cannot be exported as they are not listed when you try to export them in the HP Utility. I am thinking that the software or profiles on the printer have got corrupt somehow.
Does anyone now how to reset these machine back to the factory settings?, the onboard reset seems to do nothing!
Kind regards

What stakes are the best computer programmed bots currently capable of winning at? And is it considered cheating and is there ways to detect them? Bots will only get better, is this a problem for online poker yet?
From what I've heard and read, one of the most advanced poker bots is PokerSnowie, an artificial intelligence built using a neural network. That's only being used in training software though. As for online poker bots actually playing, and avoiding detection, on PokerStars for instance... I'm not sure. Any poker bot not based on a neural network is liking just playing a static maximally exploitative strategy vs. population tendencies, with pre-programmed adjustments for certain player types and frequencies. They likely can grind out a profit, albeit not a large one.
Certain Vegas casinos are also offering limit Hold'em machines where you can play against AI. These are built using neural networks as well. I can't find the article but a poker player/programmer spent years developing a limit Hold'em neural network that he fed millions of hands into, effectively teaching it the population tendencies. He then won contracts with some of the Vegas casinos for LHE machines.
I don't think online poker bots are a huge problem yet. It's fairly easy to detect them and PokerStars is quite diligent in that regard. They will throw up captcha's if their system flags someone as potentially being a bot. I myself have had to do a captcha while multi-tabling a large amount of tables.
And of course it's considered cheating. Once a computer program is taking actions for you, most poker sites consider it cheating. They'll allow software that helps you make better decisions, but anything that acts for you generally isn't allowed.
The Shanky Technologies Holdem Bot is probably as good as they are likely to get. Bots can't react to changing game conditions or individual player anomalies (like someone being on tilt) but they make up for it in other ways, such as discipline, stability, and longevity.
The Shanky Bot actually does very well in MTT's. That's what most of the players who have it use it for. It's efficient at stack management and obeying the preset standards of when it's time to start pushing aggressively.
Cash games are tougher these days, with or without a bot. But some Shanky bot users do well in them. As far as I know this is the only real commercial poker bot available, the only one an average person can use effectively. The other one is Open Holdem but that's more for programmer-geek types and does better at fixed limit games.
Here's a link to a poker bot that claims to play at multiple real poker rooms - http://www.bonusbots.com Bots can probably win only at small stakes if at all since the best players are not playing at small stake tables. Bots are not good at determining opponent strategy and adjusting their play for that. Humans do this all the time, even unconciously. So Humans have an edge over bots, espcially the good players. On the other hand, bots do not lose patience and do not go on a tilt! Is it considered cheating? Personally I would welcome bots at my table as it gives me an edge but it depends on your point of view.
98% of all bots and 90% of shanky Botters lose money. it is more of a novelty, that most tire of in a short time. There are a few hard core reg botters that grind a small profit by probably working just as hard as any player showing a profit. There is no pot of gold in botting , but for some is it a fun distraction from mundane playing for hours and hours just the break even. The big winners are the poker sites. Poker stars because of their policy actually have the best bots and botters on their site. The guys botting on there know how to stealth and program better than the commercial bots. therefore on poker stars where you think you are safe from bots, you are actually playing against the smartest ones...

Playoff picture or not, being a Jags fan for a night is a seriously filthy One Night Stand.
I am so happy NFLN has hours of highlights from last week's game for all of Luck's 3rd down pick ups.
This team is a few pieces short of being a legit playoff team. And rooting for another team to do what MIA should have done themselves isn't in my DNA. Realistic expectations and tempered expectations make for a good season at this point.
I could care less who wins tonight. I'm more worried about the game on Sunday.
---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------
Your seriously not trying to compare Eli Manning and the Giants to the Tannehill led Phins?
Sorry but Luck has been an interception machine this year , if not for the refs bailing him out he would have 10 td 9 int. Think if Miami played the ball better last week. I don't know , I know he is a rookie ,and I like the kid but he has to show me more. Some rave about Luck but his numbers pale when compared to RG3's.
I just think it is too early to be playoff watching . . . I mean seriously what good does it do if we don't take care of our own business? In 2008, we had all of these threads about playoff scenarios and in the end, ONE loss would have cooked us . . . but we handled our business and won our last 5 games and 9 of our last 10 . . . that is how you make the playoffs, not losing a game and then hoping this team and that team lost . . . certainly not with 8 games left.
If they don't review this TD, it's clear the NFL wants the Colts to win.
the refs are just giving the colts the game

Restaurant Sant Joan and Can Ravell in Barcelona
May I know the opening hours of Restaurant Sant-Joan at Passeig de Sant Joan 65 in Barcelona? In particular, may I know if it is opened on weekends?
Also, I am keen to visit Can Ravell and try the 30euro tapas set. My companion and I have read that the servings are big, and as we are small eaters we are thinking of only ordering one set to share. Would that be acceptable / allowed at Can Ravell?
Thanks all!
re: SnackHappy
Unless something has changed, it was DEFINITELY open on Saturdays when I lived in BCN.
re: Barcelonian
Oh I hope it's opened on Saturday! Can anyone confirm? That is the only day I can go and I was really looking forward to it
re: xpastamaniaj
You should call them between 12-3 pm. One of the waiters (elderly gentleman) speaks very good English so he can tell you. They don't take reservations but we didn't need to lineup.
We were at Can Ravell today, we happen to be in that area and stumbled into their store/restaurant while shopping in that area. It was 4 pm my husband wanted to go in to check the prices for the ham at Can Ravell. I figured, why not, at least I'll have stepped in. I wasn't planning to eat there because we had reservations at Gresca that evening. There were a few customers inside to buy groceries but no customers eating at the 2 long marble white tables. So my husband politely asked the waiter if it was possible to have a quick bite and wine. The young waiter said no problem, I was surprised. Very excited, we sat down and looked at all the wines they were selling, it was an impressive collection. They even had maple syrup from Quebec (where I'm originally from) but sold it for $26 CA for 500 ml, 5 times the normal price but that's another story.
A few minutes later, a beautiful plate of ham + bread came out along with some wine from a decanter. And they played Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture and my husband, (a big classical musical fan) and I felt really special. The waiter explained to us that the meat was cured for 6 years! This type of ham is unlike anything i've tasked, it's not salty, it's oily in a nice way and we learned it comes from the ham's natural oil and there's very little fat. There's no strange smell like the ham you see hanging at Carrefour. The wine was just perfect, rich and fruity. We were surprised nobody else came to eat at this time but I think the staff was extremely nice and courteous to serve us since we asked. We felt like we were in heaven chewing on every bite.
We paid the bill and looked around one last time. To our surprise, the elder waiter gave us a book written by Josep M. Bastista. We kept saying thank you and we left very happy. I am not sure when will be the next time I try this delicatessen and big thanks to everyone on the boards who highly recommended this place.

Advertising a healthy diet the same way that junk food companies advertise to the public in subversive ways.
We should change the extent of what foods should be allowed to use different psychological mechanisms to subversively in order to increase appetite for said foods. Every day, every year children and adults alike are bombarded with how certain food and drinks can make us feel better and become more popular. Unfortuately, the majority of this advertising is subversive in its ploys and albiet not very good for us. We should tip the scale in the healthy direction by large scale, expensive, advertising schemes to trick children and adults to eat healthier food and drinks. It seems only fair to at least have both healthy and non-healthy along side each other in the social and public media. We cannot stop junk food companies from selling (and pushing) their products but we can make a change to fill our suggestive subconscious with a multitude of products of different quality.
Don Anderson
Feb 25 2013: Actually healthy diets are currently being advertised a lot. Every gardening show, most cooking shows, most cooking competition show, weight loss competition show (like Biggest-Loser), every fitness show, etc etc advertise a healthy diet.

I don't think education is the issue, but instead depression.
Currently the world is depressing with little hope for a better tomorrow, and thus little reason to take the extra effort to eat healthy. Personally I eat healthy, but it is because I know if I don't tomorrow will have no chance of being better. But on a national and international scale, the future looks grim and has me thinking why not have that junk food.
Gail .
Feb 25 2013: What you run up against is that all bodies are different. If I were to follow the US government's dietary guidelines, I would be one huge porker. If I eat over 25 carbs a day, I will gain weight. That's how MY body works. Others' bodies work differently.

today, there are many fat people because they are told to follow dietary guidelines that actually cause them to gain weight. Better that we should be encouraged to learn about our bodies and nourish them with what OUR unique bodies require for maximum performance.Feb 24 2013: Okay it's unfortunate, but who would pay for it?Feb 26 2013: In my hometown, Glendale, California, the most popular store is Whole Foods Market, which has all organic food and doesn't seem to advertise. This food is somewhat expensive, more so than non-organic.

Why not just tell people:
"Eat living-cells only"?
(including just killed cells)
(See the 1st article, point 12 (1), at https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D&id=D24D89AE8B1E2E0D%21283&sc=documents)
Feb 25 2013: That is a wonderful idea, unfortunately animal fats have caused large epidemics of heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I suppose if you interpreted "eat living-cells only" as pertaining to raw or as close to raw as possible this could be attributed to a more balanced plant rich diet.

"Plant rich diet"!
So, our teeth, colon .... whole body are for plant food overwhelmingly.Feb 25 2013: Although I'd fully endorse this idea, the problem is that the opposition have a major advantage, refined sugar. Sugar accounts for the main gains in fat, a variety of diseases, poor blood sugar and the worst one of them all... addictiveness; more addictive as some illegal drugs.
So the fight needs to come from both fronts: education from a young age in both how to cook and what ingredients do what, as well as the fight from companies to push products that are evolutionally more suitable for the human being (not advocating the paleo diet for everyone), also legal and political pressure (e.g. government advertising, possible taxes (although this is a tricky area to implement))
Feb 25 2013: Addictiveness is an important factor to consider in overcoming the unhealthy, fat rich diet of modern day humans. I have read in a scientific paper recently that one of the active chemicals in cocoa is even more addictive than herion and is being used by the tobacco industry to make cigarettes more addictive. The concoction of chemicals in cocoa, after processed, is less effective but ultimately not sugar. Chocolate has long been seen as both great in moderation and mysterious in its metabolic function. I also agree that political action got us here, but we are a democratic political industry. Why not influence the public policy by inserting people that are involved in companies producing healthier foods into the higher power positions.
Feb 25 2013: I can't say I ever heard of that paper but would be interested in seeing it, another profit-driven venture I'd imagine! I wonder whether the drive to make things more addictive is the industries way to combat wealth of knowledge and awareness around the problems their products and services incur?
If only they had the mind to embrace change, surely long-term investment in healthier products will drive a transition which ultimately would retain profit. If a proposed tax on soft drinks (which is currently being considered) was used to force improvements in nutritional content with the tax being lifted when a product eventually hit more acceptable levels. Agreed we are a democratic system, but in UK voting, there's such a low level because no one believes anything they do will make a difference; there seems to be a systemic problem of hidden agendas even if rules, regulations and documentation are meant to be transparentFeb 24 2013: If we have multinationals that mass-produce healthy food, then it would be easy and possible.

Once inside the tranquil apartment it is difficult to imagine that you are in the very heart of Zermatt and far above the non-stop buzz of the village bars and restaurants. The apartment sleeps six in understated elegance, with a large comfortable lounge and smart bedrooms with designer bathrooms. There are wrap-around balconies for both sunrise coffee and a relaxing drink as the sun goes down after a hard day on the hill. Haus Glacier is on the high street in the very heart of the town centre. It is just a 5 minute walk to either the Gornergrat train or the Sunnegga funicular to access the pistes. The bus stop where you catch the shuttle bus to the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise lift is also just a five minute walk from the chalet.

AISI worked for a long time trying to unify steel standards thoughout North America, and that culminated in the 2001 "North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members" which was adopted by Canada and Mexico.
So that standard is used thoughout North America.
As far as structural steel is concerned, check this out:
Beam dimensions are given in metric (depth in mm, unit weight in kg/m) but are actually the same size as American standard beams - see http://www.cisc-icca.ca/files/techni...vail9W2006.pdf
As far as material grades, in Canada, the predominant specification is CAN/CSA G40.21 350W, 350 being 350MPa yield strength. This specification is very similar to ASTM A992 and A572 gr50 and, according to CISC, steel rolled to these specifications can generally be substituted when the Canadian standard is specified. As far as standardization across the border, let me quote CISC:
"The trend to make ASTM A992 the basic steel grade for rolled shapes in North America is currently underway. "
see http://www.cisc-icca.ca/resources/fa...grades_shapes/
Again, hope this information helps.

Here's one i built this year. I had a mech. eng. give me some suggestions at first. I went with 3" sch. 40 pipe for the riser. I used 2" square tubing for the arm (hind site I should have used heavier tubing). I sunk 4" sch 40 pipe 3' in the ground as the sleeve. When I put it to work the first time I had about 5" of deflection. A friend of mine's kid just graduated from engineering school. He suggested 1/4 X 2" bar stock welded to back of pipe and top of tubing, as a stiffiner. I now have 3/4" deflection. I lift my Trailblazer 301g up, back up my truck and drop it in. It works like a champ.

These things are very helpful to you for make a good jib crane.

Who gets lung cancer?
Most people diagnosed with lung cancer have a history of smoking but 10-15% of diagnoses are in never-smokers. This page provides links to statistics about lung cancer and highlights particular at-risk populations.
2012 lung cancer statistics
In general, current and former smokers are generally at highest risk for developing lung cancer and the median age at diagnosis is around 70. An individual's particular risk is often a complex combination of behavioral, environmental and biological factors.

Women often don't recognize their risk for lung cancer, and women who have never smoked seem to be at higher risk for lung cancer than men who have never smoked.

Veterans are at increased risk for lung cancer due to higher smoking rates but also because of exposure to environmental carcinogens, including Agent Orange, asbestos and battlefield conbustibles.

African American men
African American men are diagnosed with lung cancer at a higher rate that is not related to smoking history.

Never smokers
People who have never smoked get lung cancer, too. In fact, lung cancer in never smokers is the 6th leading cause of cancer deaths in the US.
