Recipe by Adora Marchi
"A smooth creamy frosting, perfect for any occasion. This is an old recipe from the 1940's."

1/4 cup
all-purpose flour
1 cup
1/2 cup
3/4 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
butter, softened
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
The best way to ensure you will not have lumps is to start with the flour in a sauce pan over medium heat and very slowly pour in the milk, whisking the entire time. Also, so as not to get that gritty taste, I added the sugar to the flour mixture just before taking it off the heat. I then let the entire mixture cool in the fridge before whipping it into the butter. It turned out perfectly!
Followed recipe exactly, but the finished product tasted overwhelmingly like Crisco. Fortunetly, someone on site suggested using all butter, so I went back and remade the recipe. The second time around, it tasted a lot better, but lacked visual appeal.

This was a wonderful recipe. After I cooled the milk and flour mixture I beat it with the mixer until it was creamy and then added the rest of the ingredients. The frosting came out light and creamy like whipped cream, but better. I made a second batch and added melted semi sweet chocolate and a ½ cup more of powder sugar . It was perfect every one raved over the frosting on both of my cakes.
Oh, my.. this is amazing frosting. I've made classic egg-based buttercreams before, but always found them too buttery. And I'm not a fan of powdered sugar/butter/shortening frostings personally. This recipe was the perfect medium between the egg-based and American buttercreams: incredibly silky texture, not too sweet, nice and buttery but without tasting like sweetened butter (I've tried this recipe both as written and using all butter, and I actually prefer it as written). The only things I would recommend specifically are: 1) Use a stand mixer; 2) Cream your butter, shortening, and sugar together for at least 5 minutes before adding the milk mixture; 3) Add a pinch of salt; 4) After adding the milk mixture, beat the frosting for at least 5-10 minutes to give the sugar crystals time to dissolve, otherwise you'll have gritty frosting.
This is an old chestnut! I've been making this recipe for over 30 years. One ingredient that is missing is salt. You need to add a couple of nice, big pinches in order to counteract the blandness which shortening imparts. Measure flour into your saucepan with the salt, then whisk in the milk, little by little, to banish lumps. After it has been cooked (low heat, whisking constantly) long enough that it starts to boil (this has to be done in order to activate the flour's full thickening power, thereby eliminating an unpleasant "floury" taste) remove from the heat, and press a piece of plastic wrap right onto the surface of your paste. This is the best way to make sure your paste doesn't form a "skin" as the paste cools. The sugar should be added in a very slow, very tiny stream in order to incorporate it sufficiently, then the mixture should be beaten vigorously for 5-10 minutes, depending on the power of your mixer, to eliminate grittiness. Then incorporate your chilled paste. Add your flavoring (I add a dash of lemon and orange extracts to the 2 tsp vanilla for a beautifully complex finish) and beat for another few minutes. Not the heavy texture of your conventional buttercream, but, as others have noted, more of a whipped cream kind of texture. Light, luscious, not too sweet. It's the perfect finish for any cake. Best not to attempt to decorate with it, however, as it's not as sturdy as a conventional decorator buttercream. This is always served to raves.
Thank you! The best old fashioned buttercream frosting I have had. I did however use 10x confectioners sugar (1 1/2 cups) in place of granulated, and I used all butter. I will not be trying another recipe from here on out, it's that good when done correctly. Thanks Again!!
This recipe is very tasty and light. I was doubtful because of the use of flour in the recipe. It has a light taste. I used vanilla and almond extract and it worked really well. It was great straight from the bowl! It spread easily also. The only drawback to the recipe is the delay between cooking the flour mixture and getting on with making the frosting. I cooked the flour mixture and then cooled it in the fridge overnite so I could complete the cake in the morning. The mixture formed a crust which was tedious to remove. I recommend doing it all at once if possible. Great frosting. Thank you.
This frosting is smooth, pretty, easy to work with and most of all delicious! It's not too sweet at all and the consistency is really special. You do have to do it right, make sure that your "paste" is nice and thick and then whip the heck out of it, but it's worth the extra effort.

The state medical examiner's office has ruled that a Hollywood man's death last week was a suicide, carried out with a contact gunshot wound to the head, and police report that his wounded wife is still in critical care at a hospital.
James Daniel Dean, 48, was pronounced dead at the scene of the Thursday night shootings at the couple's home on Johnson Road, located off Route 245 near the St. Mary's community's crossroads, according to Maryland State Police. A helicopter crew flew 43-year-old Angela Dean from the scene to the Prince George's Hospital Center.
"He shot her twice. Angela was hit in the arm, and in the chest," a state police spokesperson said, before James Dean took his own life.
Shortly before midnight on Thursday night, police report, Angela Dean called 911 dispatchers to report that she was having an argument with her husband and that he was loading a gun. During the phone call, which lasted less than one minute, police report, noises that sounded like gunshots were heard in the background.
State police report that their troopers and St. Mary's sheriff's deputies responded to the scene, forced their way into the residence and found James Dean on the living room floor with the apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. Angela Dean was found nearby, and she was given initial treatment at the scene for her gunshot injuries before she was flown to the hospital.
"She was able to make a brief statement to those [troopers] who were there with her, at the scene," Elena Russo, the police spokesperson, said. The Deans had only lived at that address for a short while, in an in-law style suite attached to the rest of the house.
"They had just moved in," Russo said, "in the late fall."
The couple got married about a year ago, she said.

Are you tired of hearing your neighbors brag about their exotic vacations? Would you love to spend a few days in London, Rome or maybe Beverly Hills, without having to take out a second mortgage to pay for it?
See also: Take a thrifty road trip.
You can take an enjoyable, affordable getaway vacation this spring to one of these expensive-sounding destinations right here in the United States. These off-the-beaten-path locales have a lot to offer — and they come with big-name bragging rights, as far as your neighbors are concerned.
Ah, springtime in Paris. Paris, Texas, that is.
This pleasant town of roughly 25,000 sits in the heart of the Red River Valley and is named the "Best Small Town in Texas." In the spring, you'll find plenty of bluegrass jams, art events and rodeo action. There's even a 65-foot tall replica of the Eiffel Tower — this one with a giant cowboy hat on top. A dozen hotels serve the city, offering a wide range of accommodations that start at only about $50 a night. There are also plenty of RV campgrounds in the area, including one at the Pat Mayse Recreation Area and lake operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, approximately 20 miles northwest of Paris. Vive la Texas!
You could head to a hotspot in Florida, but...
Forget about South Beach. In Miami, Ariz., roughly 80 miles east of Phoenix, you'll find even more sunshine than in Florida, and an Old West adventure around every picturesque bend. This once-thriving copper mining town is now more ghost than town, except for a lively population of quaint antique stores and the Boom Town Spree festival that takes place in April. Restored buildings in Miami and nearby Globe take you back more than 100 years. Native American culture and history are all around. Best of all, spring is wildflower season in the surrounding Pinal Mountains, so bring a camera — but not much money, since area hotels start at under $50 per night.

Aquilano.Rimondi / Fall 2012 Ready-to-Wear
Search a show by:
Back in Tiepolo's day, women in aristocratic circles might have spent about, oh, two hours or so to get dressed, once they (or more strictly speaking, those indentured in their service) had dealt with the stays, the paniers, and the stomachers, not to mention the parures of jewels. Pity that the likes of Tomasso Aquilano and Roberto Rimondi of Aquilano.Rimondi weren't around then. The duo had been looking at Tiepolo's early 18th-century godly orchestrations of paint, canvas, and divinity, as well as the works of Mantegna and Artemesia, for fall. The result was a baroque vision of short-boned dresses with sculpted hips, elaborately and expertly rendered in iridescent velvet, leather, and silk scrolled with jewels and heat-pressed curlicue motifs, in shades of ruby, emerald, and sapphire, that will take approximately 56 seconds to do up, assuming you have someone at hand to tackle the zipper that runs the length of the back. And unlike those in the royal court, barely able to move with the weight of everything they were wearing, Aquilano.Rimondi's looks are, if not exactly light as air, then certainly close to it; they were also referencing scuba with those very same dresses.
"We are believers in maximalism," Aquilano said backstage, in the moments leading up to the show, as he and Rimondi were trying to effect their own divine intervention by getting the models dressed while being interviewed in front of a slew of television cameras. "It's important to make women sit up and take notice of what you can do. Give them a simple black coat and they'll think, 'I could have designed that myself.' " So, yes, they had coats, but theirs are in a micro-jacquard that they'd had specially woven for a lean, high-buttoning style cut with a frocklike flow at the back, worn over flared crop pants and velvet bow pumps and bootees.
Both the coats and dresses came with that curiously chic touch that has been all over Milan; a high-necked or curved collar that gives a cardinal-like flourish to the look. With their collection, Aquilano.Rimondi caught the ecclesiastical opulence that has been occurring here as much as the Duomo holds mass, which is to say, several times daily. It's the kind of excessive richness that Alexander McQueen would have plundered back in the day, a particularly dark and dramatic idea of sacredness. From Aquilano.Rimondi, though, it springs from more earthly concerns. "When the economy here is so bad," said Aquilano, with a sigh, "you have to make fashion special and joyous. We're designers, yes, but we also have to interpret what's going on around us, and do our best to make it a little better."

Overview Reviews Details Accessories Staff Reviews Articles & Videos by Woody Sherman How do you define unique? From the moment you see the Pentax K-01 you know you're looking at something unique. We truly had trouble trying to figure out this camera's classification when it first hit our screens. It's mirrorless and it has interchangeable lenses, so it's a hybrid, right? It's got heft and substance, shoots great video and fast continuous stills so it must be a DSLR, don't you think? The answer is yes to both, really. The Pentax K-01's back panel is uncluttered for easy control Heir to a rich family The K-01 has a foot in both the hybrid and DSLR camps, drawing on the legacies of both form factors. It's not out to wow you with numbers, although it has impressive ones. The results you get will do the talking. It's got a 16-megapixel APS-C size sensor that captures brilliant, high-detail images. And it has the unique ability among mirrorless cameras to work with a huge family of Pentax K-mount lenses, a family whose distinguished members stretch back multiple decades. And the sensor-shift Shake and Dust Reduction system means that all those lenses will still give you razor-sharp stills and video, even at long focal lengths. Is that a contact lens? Sitting on the front of this elegant camera is a lens even more eye-popping. It's got an incredibly low profile and weight, only 0.36 inches thin and a feather-light 1.8 ounces. With a 35mm equivalent of 61mm, it's convenient for everyday snapshots and portraits, and its 9-bladed, f/2.8 aperture will make pleasing blurred backgrounds for your main subjects. Plus, it's a light-gathering whiz, so that you can take shots in subdued light without a flash. Video reimagined Pentax has incorporated their PRIME M processor in the K-01, which has been redesigned for the particular challenges of high-definition video. It shoots a variety of video sizes and frame rates up to 1080/30p. It's got culture too All of this versatility comes in a package that just might be worthy of art museum display in the future. The K-01's funky, slightly futuristic look is the product of industrial design phenom Marc Newson. The machined aluminum frame is overlaid with rubberized accents that give it a secure grip. Rounded corners, bold lines, and a simple, clear control interface create a shooting experience that requires little effort and maximizes creative options.

Try a mirrorless camera. These digital cameras combine the creative options of a DSLR with portability that's more like that of a point-and-shoot. Their automatic modes will help you take striking pictures from day one without having to be an expert. However, like DSLRs, mirrorless cameras have interchangeable lenses, and advanced control and processing. You can explore these features for even better results as you take time to learn more about the hobby. Cameras in this class have large image sensors for beautifully detailed pictures, but their mirrorless design means the camera bodies and matching lenses can be smaller, lighter, and more portable great for snapping memorable pics when you're on the move.

Stunning images, and with the 1.01 firmware update, fast focus. With the huge drop in price, I figured, what the heck. I was not disappointed. Get one before they are gone forever. This camera is like fungus, it grows on you. Pros: Incredible IQ, stunning colors, superb low light images, decent focus, focus peaking, video, creative functions Cons: Not for fast moving objects Was this review helpful? Yes No The Camera to Get Written By RP, Texas on Wednesday, November 07, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The K-01 is a solid, well-built, excellently performing camera that I believe will exceed expectations of most folks who wish to photograph at the serious amateurs level. The ability to use any of the millions of regular K-mount lenses (many of which can be found for very little money in great condition) on a mirrorless body is quite unique. It is much smaller and lighter than a "normal" SLR-sized camera but performs *better* than most digital SLR cameras on the market in a variety of empirically proven respects. You don't need empirical studies and comparisons though - the pictures from this camera are truly phenomenal. When coupled with the outstanding 40mm prime lens which is included in this kit, photos are tack-sharp and brilliant. Software functionality and options are first-rate. Some have pointed out minor quibbles like lack of an optical viewfinder but you get used to that very quickly. Yes, in bright sunlight the screen is not super easy to see under some circumstances, but it isn't that bad. The rubber door cover on the side *is* a bit fiddly but on the whole its no more bothersome than a mole on a pretty girl's back. At its current price this camera is a remarkable value. Having tried the Pentax K5 and the Sony a55 and a77, the K-01 is the most fun of them all and the picture quality is arguably the best - no exaggeration. I recommend this camera very, very highly and without reservation! Was this review helpful? Yes No exceeded my expectations Written By JeffP, South FLA on Wednesday, May 16, 2012 I am amazed by the quality of the photos from this camera. even iso 12800 are useable (for web). the lcd (like any camera) can be hard to see in bright daylight but the focus peaking makes up for that to a certain extent. the lcd is nice sharp and big and the menus, etc are very large font .. I have a Nikon D70s, a Nikon V1 an an Oly EPL1 and the picture quality of the Pentax makes any and all of them look like toys. More importantly you can safely leave the camera on full auto and instead focus on your compositions and very easily get brilliant photos. the kit 40mm lens is razor sharp as well. Plus with Crutchfield's return policy you have nothing to lose by trying it. Bottom line, best camera i have ever owned to date. 6 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

It comes with the SMC Pentax-DA 40mm F2.8 XS lens. It will accept other Pentax K-mount lenses to give you a variety of shooting options. Marc Newson Design: The K-01 was designed by Marc Newson, one of the most acclaimed and influential designers in the contemporary design industry. The body features a simple design with clean lines and elegant graphics, while maintaining all the functionality of a professional camera. It's constructed of durable machined aluminum and tactile rubber to give the camera a solid feel. 3.0" LCD Monitor: The camera features a large, bright 3.0" LCD monitor for framing your shots and playing back recorded still images and movies. The monitor's 921,000-dot resolution gives you crystal clear images, and features approximately 100% field of view. The camera does not have a separate viewfinder. Compatible Lenses: The K-01 has a KAF2 bayonet mount with an AF coupler and lens information contacts (a K-mount with power contacts). Lenses with KAF3, KAF2 (power zoom not compatible), KAF, and KA mounts can be used. These lenses include DA, DA L, D FA, and FA J lenses. Image Sensor: The K-01 is equipped with a large, 16-megapixel APS-C sized (23.7 mm x 15.7 mm) CMOS image sensor, which delivers high resolution image quality with accurate colors and low noise. It has 16.49 million total pixels and 16.28 million effective pixels. The sensor features a Dust Removal function that shakes the sensor every time the camera is turned on and off. Recording Media: The camera can record still images and movies onto SD Memory Cards, SDHC Memory Cards, and SDXC Memory Cards. Still Image Formats: The K-01 can shoot JPEG still images in 4 sizes in each of four aspect ratios: 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, and 1:1. You can set the image quality level (compression ratio) for each size and aspect ratio, to Best, Better, or Good. In addition, uncompressed RAW images can be recorded using the full output of the CMOS sensor. The RAW files are recorded in the DNG (Digital Negative) format. These RAW images must be "developed" and converted into JPEG files using the RAW Development function in the camera or using the provided software. When the camera is set to RAW+, images in both JPEG and RAW formats are captured. Image sizes include: Aspect Ratio Recorded Pixels 3:2 JPEG 4928 x 3264 4224 x 2816 3456 x 2304 2688 x 1792 4:3 JPEG 4352 x 3264 3840 x 2880 3072 x 2304 2304 x 1728 16:9 JPEG 4928 x 2776 4224 x 2376 3456 x 1944 2688 x 1512 1:1 JPEG 3264 x 3264 2880 x 2880 2304 x 2304 1728 x 1728 3:2 RAW 4928 x 3264 Movie Recording: High Definition movies can be recorded in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format. You can choose from Full HD (1920 x 1080) at 30, 25, or 24 frames per second, or 1280 x 720 at 60, 50, 30, 25, or 24 fps. Standard def movies can also be recorded at 640 x 480 pixels (4:3) at 30, 25, or 24 fps. Focus Modes: You can set the focus mode switch to either AF (auto focus) or MF (manual focus). In Auto Focus mode, the camera automatically focuses on the subject when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. In Manual Focus mode, you can adjust the focus by turning the focus ring on the lens. AF Assist Light: In Auto Focus mode, when the subject is in a dark location, the AF Assist Light automatically turns on when the shutter release button is pressed halfway. You can turn off the AF Assist light, if desired. AF-Area Modes: You can set the range of the Auto Focus Area (AF Area). The position of the AF area can be moved around the frame using the 4-way controller. The size of the AF area can be changed using the E-dial on the top of the camera. Pressing the Green Button on the top of the camera returns the AF area to the center. Drive Modes: The K-01 offers several options for shooting single and multiple images at once. You can choose from the following Drive Modes: Single Frame: Photos are taken one at a time with each press of the shutter release button. Continuous: Multiple photos are taken while the shutter release button is pressed fully at approximately 6 frames per second (high speed) or 3 fps (low speed). Self-Timer: A single photo is taken after approximately 12 seconds to allow the photographer to get into the picture. A 2-second self timer can be used to avoid camera shake when the shutter release button is pressed. Remote Control: Using the optional remote control, the shutter is released immediately after the shutter release button on the remote is pressed. A 3-second delay Remote Control setting is also available. Pentax offers the optional F Remote Control or O-RC1 Waterproof Remote Control. Auto Bracketing: You can take three consecutive images at three different exposure levels when the shutter release button is pressed. Three images are saved with each released, one at standard exposure, one underexposed, and one overexposed. You can set the order of the exposures as desired. The bracket value can be set at +/- 3EV at 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV intervals. Metering: You can select the portion of the image sensor to use for measuring brightness and determining exposure: Multi-segment: The sensor meters the brightness in multiple zones. Center-weighted: Metering is weighted at the center of the sensor. Spot: The brightness is measured only within a limited area at the center of the sensor. Shooting Modes: The top-mounted Mode Dial lets you set the desired Shooting Mode. You can select from the following: Auto Picture: The Auto Picture mode automatically selects the optimal mode for capturing the subject: Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Moving Object, Night Scene Portrait, Sunset, Blue Sky, and Forest. Scene Mode: The Scene Mode lets you choose from specific scenes: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Moving Object, Night Scene Portrait, Sunset, Blue Sky, Forest, Night Scene, Night Scene HDR, Night Snap, Food, Pet, Kids, Surf & Snow, Backlight Silhouette, Candlelight, Stage Lighting, and Museum.

EV Compensation: You can deliberately overexpose or underexpose a picture using EV Compensation. The compensation value can be set between -3 and +3 EV (-2 and +2 EV in Movie Mode). The step interval can be set at 1/3 EV or 1/2 EV intervals. White Balance: White Balance is a function for adjusting the color of an image so that white objects appear white. You can choose Automatic White Balance (AWB), or a preset White Balance depending upon the lighting source: Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Fluorescent Light, Tungsten, Flash, CTE (Color Temperature Enhancement), or Manual. ISO Sensitivity: You can set the sensitivity to suit the brightness of the surroundings. The sensitivity can be set to ISO AUTO or manually to ISO 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, or 12800. Flash: The K-01 has a built-in pop-up flash for use in low-light situations. There are several Flash Modes to choose from: Auto Flash: the flash automatically fires based on brightness of the scene Auto + Red-eye Reduction: the flash fires automatically with a pre-flash for red-eye reduction Manual Flash: the flash fires when manually popped up; does not charge when retracted Manual + Red-eye Reduction: the flash fires when popped up with a pre-flash for red-eye reduction Slow-speed Sync: the flash fires during a slow shutter speed; lights foreground subject while maintaining a distant lit background Slow-speed Sync + Red-eye Reduction: the flash fires during a slow shutter speed, with a pre-flash for red-eye reduction Trailing Curtain Sync: the flash fires immediately before closing the shutter to capture moving objects as they leave a trail behind.

Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs Awesome image quality, works with all your old Pentax lenses Written by Zak Billmeier, Staff Writer - Creative, on 4/30/2012 2:35:00 PM Grabbed this for a couple of weeks recently and shot about 500 frames. It's an interesting camera for sure...its boxy design has scared some folks away. But they shouldn't fret over the unique design — this is a seriously fun camera. First of all, the image quality is outstanding. I was taking a lot of low-light indoor pictures, and they looked amazing at higher sensitivities. In fact, the K-01 uses the same sensor as the Pentax K-5, Nikon D7000, and Sony NEX-5, all fantastic cameras in their own right. And Pentax, unlike most other camera manufacturers, uses the universal DNG format for the K-01's Raw files - you Raw shooters know how cool and forward-thinking that is. Second, the K-01 works with Pentax K-mount lenses going back to 1975. A lot of people (me included) got started on a K-1000, and you can use any of those lenses with the K-01. Awesome. Third, the "pancake" lens that comes with it (40mm f/2.8) is incredible. It's so thin, it seems like it shouldn't work. But it does, and it works very well. What are the Labs?

I have a Miller Maxstar 200 SD, used primarily as a stick welder in a boiler service company. It has random P-8 fault codes and when it does work, the welding out put shuts off everytime the cooling fan cycles, whether your welding or not, but it can also shut off after every stick run. Then it may run fine for 1-2 days, then back to its antics. It has been looked at by the local authorized service center 4 times, they say, each time they said one of the ribbon cables was loose (other than that they say they can find nothing wrong). I'd get it back and within hours its back to the same old issues. They have it again for the fifth time, I'm extremely frustrated.
As the unit is used in a mobile repair business it see different voltages on a daily basis, issues are the same regardless of voltage input. The vast majority of the welding is done in the 75-125 amp output range, using 6010, 6011 and 7018 rod. The welder rides in a padded secure wood box in the truck, its kept clean and dry and when working properly a joy to work with, but the issues continue.

Miller Maxstar 200 SD Issues
OK, seen this numerous times and no one can figure it out, it ALL has to do with the strain relief on the back of the unit. Basically it tightens the primary cable way too much, often causing the primary cables to break, and or cause too much electrical noise leading to a help 8
What your going to have to do is remove that strain relief and install a regular steel version with a rubber insert matching the cable and will also have to shorten the primary cable.
You will have to cut it just before it heads into the exsisting strain relief and reattach the cable primary. You can use butt connectors or reattach the assembly completely.
When you remove the cut cable from the old strain relief, you'll know what I mean.
Your problems should vanish.
Sorry I did respond earlier, been out of town welding (with a Miller CST 280), thanks for the reply
Input cord has been replaced twice, thats hasn't solved the problem, they are now saying its the front board (with the touch pads). We shall see, obviously I've been told it has been repaired before (more than once).
Why would your input cord be replaced, I find that a little doubtfull. It usually the last place a tech looks at.
The cord was replaced twice because it had become damaged. The issues I had since new, continued even after cord changes.
The LWS finally decided that enough was enough, they took the Maxstar 200 SD back. They gave me full credit for what I paid for it 6+ years ago, toward a brand new Miller CST 280. As I used the 200 SD, 99.9% of the time, as a stick welder, the transition to the CST 280, should be effortless.

BioLogos Basics Video #8: Genetics
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
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 today's video, Brian McLaren discusses the value of considering Scripture in light of the cultures that surrounded them. The Biblical writers were aware of the myths of the power nations that surrounded them, but flipped their stories on their heads to reveal truth about God.
It is our sincere hope that, above all else, the film can become a focal point for some of the big questions that inevitably arise at the intersection of science and faith.
To understand and apply Genesis 1 correctly, we have to consider issues of genre and intention. Too often these chapters are read as if they present a purely straightforward historical and even scientific account of cosmic and human origins.
In these two brief video Conversations, John Walton discusses the problem of trying to integrate ancient scripture with our modern worldview.
In this video, John Walton talks about ancient myth and how we might better understand it if we think about its intended functionality—that is, myths were a way to explain a culture's origin and universal significance though they lacked the advances of scientific discovery.
In this video Conversation, N.T. Wright emphasizes the importance of understanding the context of biblical texts in order to know whether to read them as literal or metaphorical narratives.
In this video conversation, Pete Enns sheds light on the key difference between the ancient and modern mind with regard to interpretation of texts. A literal understanding of Genesis from an ancient mindframe would not necessarily be the same as what we now think of as a literal reading.
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.

Interpretive Handbook
89119 :
ThinPrep Diagnostic with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) for Women 30 Years and Older
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The majority (>99%) of cervical epithelial neoplasms are the result of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. High-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types (16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, and 68) can result in both low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) and high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), as well as invasive carcinoma.(1,2) Patients with both negative cytology and negative HPV have been shown to be at extremely low risk for cervical neoplasia.(1,2)
For women 30 years and older who have received a negative Pap test and concurrent negative HPV result, the American Cancer Society (ACS) and American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommendations for cervical screening state that physicians may lengthen the screening interval to 3 years when using the combined tests. Patients deemed to be at high risk by the clinician should still be screened more frequently.
The presence of HR-HPV types in cervical specimens identifies a subgroup of patients with a greater likelihood of having a high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion. Current guidelines for follow-up of a cytology-negative/HPV-positive patient recommend repeat HPV testing in 12 months.(2)
Persistent infection with HPV is the principal cause of cervical cancer and its precursor cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN).(1-3) The presence of HPV has been implicated in >99% of cervical cancers worldwide. HPV is a small, nonenveloped, double-stranded DNA virus, with a genome of approximately 8,000 nucleotides. There are more than 118 different types of HPV and approximately 40 different HPVs that can infect the human anogenital mucosa. However, data suggest that 14 of these types (HPV types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68) are considered high risk for the development of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions. Furthermore, HPV types 16 and 18 have been regarded as the genotypes most closely associated with progression to cervical cancer. HPV-16 is the most carcinogenic, and is associated with approximately 60% of all cervical cancers, while HPV-18 accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of cervical cancers.(4-6)
Although persistent infection with HR-HPV is necessary for the development of cervical cancer and its precursor lesions, only a very small percentage of infections progress to these disease states. Sexually transmitted infection with HPV is extremely common, with estimates of up to 75% of all women being exposed to HPV at some point. However, almost all infected women will mount an effective immune response and clear the infection within 2 years without any long-term health consequences. An infection with any HPV type can produce CIN although this also usually resolves once the HPV infection has been cleared.
In developed countries with cervical cancer screening programs, the Pap smear has been used since the mid-1950s as the primary tool to detect early precursors to cervical cancer. Although it has decreased the death rates due to cervical cancer dramatically in those countries, the Pap smear and subsequent liquid-based cytology methods require subjective interpretation by highly trained cytopathologists and misinterpretation can occur. Cytological abnormalities are primarily due to infection with HPV; however, various inflammatory conditions or sampling variations can result in false-positive cytology results. Triage of an abnormal cytology result may involve repeat testing, colposcopy and biopsy. A histologically confirmed high-grade lesion must be surgically removed or ablated in order to prevent the development of invasive cervical cancer.
Nucleic acid (DNA) testing by PCR has become a standard, noninvasive method for determining the presence of a cervical HPV infection. Proper implementation of nucleic acid testing for HPV may 1) increase the sensitivity of cervical cancer screening programs by detecting high-risk lesions earlier in women 30 years and older with normal cytology and 2) reduce the need for unnecessary colposcopy and treatment in patients 21 and older with cytology results showing atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US).
Recently, data suggest that individual genotyping for HPV types 16 and 18 can assist in determining appropriate follow-up testing and triaging women at risk for progression to cervical cancer. Studies have shown that the absolute risk of CIN-2 or worse in HPV-16 and HPV-18 positive women is 11.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 8.4%-14.8%) compared with 6.1% (95% CI, 4.9%-7.2%) of women positive for other HR-HPV genotypes and 0.8% (95% CI, 0.3%-1.5%) in HR-HPV negative women.(7) Based in part on these data, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) now recommends that HPV 16/18 genotyping be performed on women who are positive for HR-HPV but negative by routine cytology. Women who are found to be positive for HPV-16 or HPV-18 may be referred to colposcopy, while women who are negative for genotypes 16 and 18 may have repeat cytology and HR-HPV testing in 12 months.(4)
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detection of cervical carcinoma or intraepithelial lesions and the presence or absence of high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in women over age 30 at risk for cervical neoplasia
HPV testing detection of high risk genotypes associated with the development of cervical cancer
Results can be used as an aid in triaging women with abnormal Pap smear results
Individual genotyping of HPV-16 or HPV-18, if present
Results of HPV-16 and HPV-18 genotyping can be used as an aid in triaging women with positive HR-HPV but negative Pap smear results
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Standard reporting, as defined by the Bethesda System (TBS) is utilized.
Human papillomavirus (HPV):
A positive result indicates the presence of HPV DNA due to 1 or more of the following genotypes: 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68.
A negative result indicates the absence of HPV DNA of the targeted genotypes.
For patients with atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) Pap smear result and who are positive for high-risk HPV (HR-HPV), consider referral for colposcopy, if clinically indicated.
For women aged 30 years and older with a negative Pap smear result but who are positive for HPV-16 or HPV-18, consider referral for colposcopy, if clinically indicated.
For women aged 30 years and older with a negative Pap smear, positive HR-HPV test result, but who are negative for HPV-16 and HPV-18, consider repeat testing by both cytology and a HR-HPV test in 12 months.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
The Pap test is a screening test for cervical cancer with inherent false-negative results. A negative human papillomavirus (HPV) test or Pap smear result does not preclude the presence of carcinoma or intraepithelial lesion. The false-negative rates of the Pap test range from 15% to 30%.
The Cobas HPV test detects DNA of the high-risk types 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68. This test does not detect DNA of HPV low-risk types (eg, 6, 11, 42, 43, 44) since these are not associated with cervical cancer and its precursor lesions.
The Cobas HPV test is not recommended for evaluation of suspected sexual abuse.
Prevalence of HPV infection in a population may affect performance. Positive predictive values decrease when testing populations with low prevalence or individuals with no risk of infection.
Infection with HPV is not an indicator of cytologic high grade intraepithelial lesion (HSIL) or underlying high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), nor does it imply that CIN2-3 or cancer will develop. Most women infected with 1 or more high-risk HPV (HR-HPV) types do not develop CIN2-3 or cancer.
A negative HR-HPV result does not exclude the possibility of future cytologic HSIL or underlying CIN2-3 or cancer.
Due to the transient nature of the HPV virus in younger patients, this test is not recommended for patients <30 years of age; 83343 / ThinPrep Diagnostic with Human Papillomavirus (HPV) Reflex is available for women under the age of 30 with abnormal pap 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.
ThinPrep PAP Test:
Satisfactory for evaluation. Negative for intraepithelial lesion or malignancy.
HPV Test:
Negative for HPV genotypes 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59, 66, and 68

I was at Google Developer Day yesterday and I was approached by several companies looking for hire and for freelance work. As I am interested in doing some freelance work I chatted a little with the representatives of these companies and they all gave me their business cards. I was a little taken aback by this since I didn't have a business card for myself and the fact that I find business card to be quite simply outdated.
So, lacking a business card, I gave them my website address where I have a portfolio, links to my GitHub and LinkedIn accounts and a blog. Should I order some business cards and carry them around in these events? I can't shake the feeling that business card are outdated, am I just plain wrong?

Kroger Central Division marked the grand reopening Thursday morning of its renovated store at 7008 Bluffton Road.
The store remained open through its renovation, but company executives and employees gathered to celebrate the completion of work.
Kroger spokesman John Elliott explained that it's a bigger milestone, too. The Bluffton Road renovation is the last project that was part of Kroger's more than $100 million commitment to new, expanded and remodeled stores. Besides remodelings and expansions, the investment program included the construction of two Kroger Marketplace stores, which include a wider selection of general merchandise in addition to food.
Those projects began in 2008 after Kroger acquired Scott's stores in northeast Indiana in 2007 and the subsequent purchase of four shopping centers in Fort Wayne.
A major remodel of the Clinton Street Scott's is under way and the company still plans to add several more fuel centers in the northeast Indiana region, the company said.
During the reopening, Kroger officials also made three contributions to benefit the community:
Customers and Kroger employees donated $21,563 to Community Harvest Food Bank during the "Share Your Feast" food drive, and Kroger added $12,500 in matching funds for a total of $34,063.
A donation of $1,000 to Waynedale Elementary
A donation of $1,000 to Indian Village School

Maya Brettell of South County High School and Marley McKay of Herndon High School are treading the boards in Adventure Theatre MTC�s production of �Big, The Musical,� based on the 1988 hit movie �Big,� produced by Twentieth Century Fox.
The play tells the story of teen Josh Baskin, who wishes he were �big.� When he wakes up one morning as a 30-year-old, he discovers there's more to being an adult than he bargained for, and he learns we must all grow up at our own pace, in our own time.
Brettell, McKay and three other young actors will join stars Gregory Maheu, Broadway�s Kate Fisher and four-time Helen Hayes Award nominee Janine Gulisano on stage. The show is directed by Michael J. Bobbitt, producing artistic director at Adventure Theatre MTC, and was adapted for Theatres for Young Audiences by Jeff Frank of 1st Stage.
�After a long and extensive search, we found five of the most talented kids in the D.C. region,� Bobbitt said, noting he�s thrilled that young people in the audience will get to see their peers on stage. �What a great way to inspire!�
Performances, which run from Sept. 21 to Oct. 28, take place at Adventure Theatre MTC in Maryland�s historic Glen Echo Park.
ODB uses grant to track finance clinic success
A grant for $6,000 from The Financial Planning Association of the National Capital Area to Our Daily Bread of Fairfax will allow the nonprofit to augment its staff.
Derived from proceeds of the association's 19th annual golf tournament held in Reston in May, the grant will fund a part-time staff person to track the progress of participants in Our Daily Bread�s monthly free financial clinic over the next year.
"There's no way to accurately demonstrate the tremendous success of our financial clinic without a dedicated part-time staffer following up," said Lisa Whetzel, executive director of Our Daily Bread.
"Thanks to the generosity of the Financial Planning Association of the National Capital Area, we no longer have to fund the position out of operating expenses,� she added. �We can now use the money for other pressing needs, including food distribution to the hungry."
"Since February 2011, we've collaborated with Our Daily Bread and other area nonprofit associations to provide free financial counseling sessions by our members to low- and moderate-income adults in the Fairfax County," said Marguerita Cheng, president of the Financial Planning Association of the National Capital Area.
Volunteer financial planners provide a one-time, 45-minute session to help clients in Fairfax County examine their immediate financial situation and create a course of action. Our Daily Bread follows up with the client 90 days later to track the client's progress.
So far, 20 financial planners have volunteered 267 hours to counsel 85 adults.
According to statistics generated by the program, upwards of 75 percent of clients are taking positive steps toward improving their financial picture 90 days after participating in the clinic.
Governor announces board appointments
Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) has appointed the following residents to state boards and commissions:
� Board of Historic Resources: Terri Hauser of Alexandria
� Board of Visitors to Mount Vernon: Aaron Leibowitz of Alexandria, principal at Targeted Creative Communications
� Veterans Services Foundation: James Schenck of McLean, president of Prudential PenFed Realty
� Family and Children�s Trust Fund: Kevin Keane of Burke, senior vice president for Policy and Public Affairs with the American Beverage Association
� George Mason University Board of Visitors: John Jacquemin of McLean, president and CEO of Mooring Financial Corp.
Three chosen for history scholarships
The National Heritage Scholarship has awarded $5,000 to graduates of three Northern Virginia high schools: Chantilly�s Josh Oswalt, Oakton�s Garrett Allen and Westfield�s Hayley Anderson.
All three students are attending the University of Virginia this fall.
At Chantilly, Oswalt was the school�s nominee to the Jefferson Scholars Foundation Program sponsored by the University of Virginia. He attended The George Washington University Student Leadership Program, was co-captain of the "It's Academic" team and was Secretary-General of Chantilly's Model U.N. team.
At Oakton, Allen was a member of the National Honor Society and the Debate Team and was business manager for the school newspaper. He also assisted in the campaign of Del. Jim LeMunyon.
At Westfield, Anderson was a member of the National Honor Society and the History Honor Society. She was a Girl Scout Ambassador and interned for state Sen. David Marsden.
The scholarship, funded by The Dansey Foundation in Chantilly, is designed to reward excellence in U.S. history and government. The foundation�s mission is to educate and encourage the next generation to understand the operation of government and the history of that government in order to keep the republic vibrant.
The deadline to apply for 2013 scholarships is Jan. 31. For details, visit www.t2fund.org/national_heritage_scholarship.php.
Mentors needed in Reston
The Reston-Herndon Branch of the American Association of University Women has openings for volunteer mentors and tutors to work with girls in grades three to six in its after-school program.
Volunteers will work Tuesdays from 3 to 4:30 p.m. at Forest Edge Elementary School, 1501 Becontree Lane, Reston, beginning Sept. 25.
A Fairfax County Public Schools background check is required. Call Mary at 703-860-1071.

Ludlow M-Tak HI/LO Double Coated Removable/Permanent Tape (Extended Liner) is a Mylar tape differentially coated with a synthetic rubber adhesive. The liner on the tape can be easily removed because it has a non-adhesive or dry finger lift edge on each side of the tape (there is 1/8 inch of liner overhang on each side of the tape so a 3/4 inch wide roll would become 1/2 inch width of adhesive tape once the liner is removed). M-Tak HI/LO has a clear, lightweight adhesive for temporary bonding and repositioning on one side, and a permanent adhesive for long-term bonding on the other side. Its perfect for business forms, mailers and envelopes, signs and posters, labels and advertisements. Great for lightweight attachments where later removability from one surface is key. Its Mylar carrier gives it additional strength and support. The release liner is printed with the words "TO EXPOSE ADHESIVE REMOVE LINER" which makes it ideal when the tape is put on items being sent to end users.

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

Included: Passwords Stolen From Last.FM, eHarmony And LinkedIn [Updates]
Original post:
In case you haven't read about it, there has apparently been a huge leak of LinkedIn passwords by a Russian hacker.
Changing your LinkedIn password now is a precaution against the risk that someone may use your LinkedIn account or ID - if yours is amongst the 6.5M.
To my knowledge, this is the second time something like this has happened at LinkedIn. The last time was on 2010-12-14, when LinkedIn emailed members telling them to change their passwords.
I hear that there is a rumour that LinkedIn may be considering changing its name to "LeakedIn".
