Hang tight!
Recipe by REBECCADK
"My favorite way to dazzle in a hurry, these shrimp take minutes to make. Full of flavor, they take the center stage at any meal, but I am also known to throw them in a fresh garden salad as well. I do tend to always use the largest shrimp I can get my hands on, they seem to have the best flavor to them! Once complete, feel free to serve immediately over pasta, with warm crusty bread and a garden salad, or with a rice dish. This one compliments them all!"

SO easy. I used the frozen cooked shrimp to make it even easier. I thawed them and removed the tails then heated them up in the saute pan with red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, salt, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. Really good with some veggies and rice.
This recipe was good but not great. The flavor was subtle and I would prefer something more robust.

This was very good. The flavors are balanced and you can even go a little overboard with any of the spices according to taste and not ruin anything. In my case, I added a bit more lemon juice and basil as I like that combination a lot. I made some stir fried veggies on the side and used the same recipe on those meant for the shrimp. Both then went on top of some pasta and it was awesome!
Just a note, this recipe is best when using patially peeled and deveined shrimp, it helps keep the flavor soaked in! Enjoy!
Fantastic shrimp! This recipe is a keeper. I did have to tone the zippiness down a little for us though. I used only 1 tsp. paprika and 1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes. This was just right. I also added 1/4 cup dry white wine with the lemon juice. This made a nice sauce to serve it over pasta. Fresh basil is a must for this recipe. Absolutely delicious!
I had a craving for shrimp, lemon and pasta, but didn't want to go the shrimp scampi route tonight. My boyfriend and I were very pleased with this dish! I served it over sauteed pasta (olive oil, sea salt & cracked black pepper). Everything was fabulous, I had to create an account to tell you!! Thanks!
I made this for a cocktail party as an appetizer. I was still working the grill when my wife informed me that all four pounds of shrimp were gone. From what I've heard they were fantastic and I can guarantee you that my guests raved about them. Even my kids asked if I could make it again because they didn't get enough. The only changed that I made was to cook these on the grill and the flavor the char adds made these incredible (so I'm told) Good luck and enjoy! I wish I got to. I wrote a similar review for Spicy Grilled Shrimp in error... these are the REAL DEAL.
This dish quickly became one our favorite shrimp meals. My hubby now requests this pretty often. I've tried this with both large and small shrimp and the large shrimp is definitely the way to go. The smaller shrimp SEVERELY dumbs down the flavor and nobody wants that. Also, it was a tad too spicy for me (perfect for my husband) so I now use 1/4 tsp of pepper flakes and he can pour on as many as he likes on his plate afterwards :). For shrimp, we also always buy deveined and preferably with tails off for less work and its perfect if you're short on time. Also, for us, there wasn't enough sauce to really seep into the pasta, so I kept all as is except used 1 pound of shrimp instead of 2 and poured it over 1 pound of pasta (equivalent to doubling the sauce). Don't be scared with so many seasonings in this...it works beautifully. Delicious, easy and is ready in such a short time it deserves all 5 stars.

Exotic and Laboratory Animals
Parasitic Diseases of Rabbits
Coccidiosis is a common and worldwide protozoal disease of rabbits. Rabbits that recover frequently become carriers. There are 2 anatomic forms: hepatic, caused by Eimeria stiedae, and intestinal, caused by E magna, E irresidua, E media, E perforans, E flavescens, E intestinalis, or other Eimeria spp. Transmission of both the hepatic and intestinal forms is by ingestion of the sporulated oocysts, usually in contaminated feed or water.
Severity of disease depends on the number of oocysts ingested. Young rabbits are most susceptible. Affected rabbits may be anorectic and have a rough coat. Hepatic coccidiosis is most often subclinical, but growing rabbits may fail to make normal gains. Infrequently, death may follow a short course. Rabbits usually succumb within 1 mo after a severe experimental exposure. At necropsy, small, yellowish white nodules are found throughout the hepatic parenchyma. In the early stages, they may be sharply demarcated, while in the later stages they coalesce. The early lesions have a milky content; older lesions may have a more cheese-like consistency. Microscopically, the nodules are composed of hypertrophied bile ducts or gallbladder. Diagnosis of this form of coccidiosis is based on the gross and microscopic changes, along with demonstration of the oocysts in the bile ducts. An impression smear of a lesion in the liver examined under light microscopy often reveals oocysts. The oocysts may also be demonstrated by fecal flotation.
Treatment is difficult, and control rather than cure is expected. Sulfaquinoxaline administered continuously in the drinking water (0.04% for 30 days) prevents clinical signs of hepatic coccidiosis in rabbits heavily exposed to E stiedae. However, it may not prevent the lesions. Sulfaquinoxaline may also be given in the feed at 0.025% for 20 days, or for 2 days out of every 8 until marketing. Because feed-grade sulfaquinoxaline can be difficult to obtain, liquid sulfaquinoxaline is used more commonly. Withdrawal time is 10 days for rabbits used for food. Other coccidiosis treatments do not have approved withdrawal times for meat rabbits. Other sulfa drug treatments include sulfadimethoxine (0.5–0.7 g/L drinking water) and sulfadimerazine (2 g/L drinking water). Other coccidiostats that may prove to be effective include amprolium (9.6% in water or 0.5 mL/500 mL), salinomycin, diclazuril, and toltrazuril. Treatment is best administered for a minimum of 5 days and repeated after 5 days. Rabbits that are treated successfully are immune to subsequent infections.
Treatment will not be successful unless a sanitation program is instituted simultaneously. Elimination of fecal-oral transmission of infective oocysts is achieved by preventing feed hoppers and water crocks from becoming contaminated with feces. Hutches should be kept dry and the accumulated feces removed frequently. Wire cage bottoms should be brushed daily with a wire brush to help break the life cycle of the protozoa. Ammonia (10%) solution is lethal to oocysts and is the best choice to disinfect cages or ancillary equipment exposed to fecal material.
This form of coccidiosis can occur in rabbits receiving the best of care, as well as in rabbits raised under unsanitary conditions. Typically, infections are mild and often no clinical signs are seen. In early infections, there are few lesions; later, the intestine may be thickened and pale. Good sanitation programs that can eliminate hepatic coccidiosis do not seem to eliminate intestinal coccidiosis. Intestinal coccidiosis is generally diagnosed by fecal flotation and microscopic identification of the oocysts (species). It is important to distinguish coccidian oocysts from the nonpathogenic yeast Saccharomycopsis guttulatus that can also be found in large numbers. Treatment is similar to that for hepatic coccidiosis except that sulfaquin-oxaline is given for 7 days and repeated after a 7-day interval.
Although adult tapeworm infections are rare in domestic rabbits, the discovery of larval tapeworm cysts on the serosal peritoneum is common. Rabbits are intermediate hosts for 2 species of canine tapeworm, Taenia serialis and T pisiformis. Although T serialis is rare in domestic rabbits, it is somewhat more common in wild ones. The larval stage of T pisiformis, a cysticercus, is found attached to the mesenteries. Before forming these fluid-filled cysts, the young larvae migrate through the liver, where they leave white, tortuous subcapsular tracts. Generally, there are no clinical signs, and diagnosis occurs at necropsy. Treatment is usually not attempted, but control is accomplished by restricting access of dogs (the final host of the tapeworm) to the area in which food and nesting material are stored. Dogs should not be fed infected dead rabbits because this perpetuates the cycle. Mebendazole at 1 g/kg of feed (50 mg/kg) for 14 days is reported to be an effective treatment.
Baylisascaris procyonis has been reported in rabbits. Signs are similar to those induced by Encephalitozoon cuniculi. No treatment is available.
The ear mite Psoroptes cuniculi is a common parasite of rabbits worldwide. Mites irritate the lining of the ear and cause serum and thick brown crusts to accumulate, creating an "ear canker." Infested rabbits scratch at and shake their head and ears. They lose flesh, fail to produce, and suffer secondary infections, which may damage the inner ear, reach the CNS, and result in torticollis. With the rabbit well restrained or under general anesthesia, the brown crumbly exudate should be removed with cotton soaked in dilute hydrogen peroxide. The ear should be treated with any of the miticides approved for use in dogs and cats. Those products containing a cerumenolytic agent are particularly useful in removing the heavy, crusted material. The medication should be applied within the ear and down the side of the head and neck. The incidence is much lower when rabbits are housed in wire cages instead of solid cages. The mite is readily transmitted by direct contact. A variety of injectable ivermectin treatment regimes effective against both fur and ear mites have been reported, with the dosage of ivermectin 200–400 μg/kg, SC, 2–3 treatments 10–21 days apart. Mites may also be treated with selamectin (6 mg or 18 mg topically has been shown to be effective).
Psoroptes cuniculi, gross lesions, rabbit
Fur mite infestations are common, and 2 genera, Cheyletiella and Listrophorus, are found worldwide. A number of different species of the genus Cheyletiella are found on rabbits. The most common in North America is C parasitovorax. The genus Listrophorus has but 1 species, L gibbus. These mites live on the surface of the skin and do not cause the intense pruritus seen with sarcoptic mange. Fur mite infestations usually are asymptomatic unless the rabbit becomes debilitated. Cheyletiella may be noticed as "dandruff." Scraping the dandruff onto a dark paper or background will demonstrate the "walking dandruff," as Cheyletiella is called. Transmission is by direct contact. Diagnosis is accomplished by skin scraping and light microscopy. Cheyletiella mites may cause a mild dermatitis in humans. Weekly dusting of animals and bedding with permethrin powder can control Cheyletiella mites.
Cheyletiellosis (walking dandruff), rabbit
Rabbits are rarely infested with either Sarcoptes scabei or Notoedres cati. These mites burrow into the skin and lay eggs. The rabbits are extremely pruritic and it is difficult to eliminate the parasites on domestic rabbits. The condition is extremely contagious and can be transmitted to humans.
Fleas of the Ctenocephalides felis, C canis, and Pulex irritans species can affect rabbits and many other animals. Imidacloprid is a flea adulticide that kills on contact; the feline dose should be divided in 2–3 spots to treat rabbits infested with fleas. Fipronil is contraindicated for use in rabbits due to potential toxicity. Flea collars are also not recommended.
Encephalitozoon cuniculi is a widespread protozoal (microsporidian) infection of rabbits and occasionally of mice, guinea pigs, rats, and dogs. Usually, no clinical signs are seen, but a few rabbits develop mild, chronic renal disease. Some develop brain lesions that may result in convulsions, tremors, or head tilt. Head tilt is often caused by bacterial infection with Pasteurella multocida; this can be difficult to distinguish from head tilt associated with E cuniculi infection as both infections are common and can occur together. The mode of transmission is not definitely known, but the organism is shed in the urine. It seems to be mildly contagious in a rabbitry. At necropsy, the most significant lesion is pitting of the kidneys. Microscopic lesions consist of focal granulomas and pseudocysts in the brain and kidneys. Sometimes a severe, focal, interstitial nephritis is seen. Diagnosis is made by histologically identifying the lesions (pseudocysts) and observing the organisms when stained with Giemsa, Gram's or Goodpasture-carbol fuchsin stains. Several serologic and skin tests are helpful in screening rabbits for antibodies to the organism, but positive serology only indicates past infection and does not confirm a diagnosis. Effective treatment has not been established. Anecdotal evidence suggests that oxibendazole or albendazole (20–30 mg/kg, PO, sid for 7–14 days, then 15 mg/kg, PO, sid for 30–60 days) or fenbendazole (20 mg/kg, PO, sid for 5–28 days) may be effective. Prevention entails good sanitation and, possibly, serologic screening of breeding stock with elimination of positive reactors. A differential diagnosis is an aberrant migration of Baylisascaris spp into the nervous system. Encephalitozoonosis is an emerging disease of immu-nodeficient humans.

Passalurus ambiguus, the rabbit pinworm, usually is not clinically significant but often is upsetting to owners. It is common in many rabbitries and is distributed worldwide. Transmission is by ingestion of contaminated food or water. The adult worm lives in the cecum or anterior colon. Diagnosis is made by observing the adults at necropsy or by finding the eggs during examination of the feces. Single treatments are not very effective because the life cycle is direct and reinfection is common. Piperazine citrates in the water (3 g/L) for alternating 2-wk periods or fenbendazole (50 ppm in feed for 5 days) are effective treatments. Rabbit pinworms are not transmissible to humans.

Twilight Stars' Best Hair and Makeup Looks
Think glowing skin, sparkling eyes and deep red lips are just for the Twilight vampires? We don't even need Alice Cullen's future-predicting abilities to know these gorgeous beauty moves are perfect for us humans, too! Sink your teeth into these pretty red carpet hair and makeup looks from November 2011 Glamour magazine cover star Kristen Stewart, Ashley Greene and the other glam ladies of The Twilight Saga.SEE MORE
Twilight Beauty: Kristen Stewart's Beachy, Tousled Hair
You don't have to be a Twi-hard to want to copy Kristen Stewart's (a.k.a. Isabella "Bella" Swan's) beachy, wavy hairstyle. Frédéric Fekkai hairstylist Adir Abergel created this look to give it some '60s fullness with lots of texture. To re-create the look yourself, Abergel suggests spraying Fekkai's Oceanique all over the hair before blow-drying to give it wave. (Hint: Skip the brush and just use your hands to tousle.) Use a 1-inch iron and curl in different directions, "then scrunch the hair with a paper towel to remove excess moisture," says Abergel. This extra step helps make sure the waves stay put all night long—even into the dawn.
Twilight Beauty: Christian Serratos' Sparkly Barrette
Perhaps Christian Serratos, who plays Bella's (human) friend, Angela, in Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse, will show up for Bella and Edward's wedding in Breaking Dawn with this easy but totally gorgeous braided hairdo. Just create a simple one-inch braid to your ear and secure the 'do with a small, sparkly barrette to make the look extra special.
Twilight Beauty: Ashley Greene's Glossy Curls
Ashley Greene (who plays Alice, Edward's future-seeing sis, in the series) might be known for her cute flipped bob in the movie, but we're obsessed over her long, shiny curls offscreen. Before you curl your hair with a one-inch iron, try spritzing Fekkai's Coiff Bouffant. "It's not too sticky and works with all hair colors and textures. Plus, it's so easy to blow-dry with it," says Abergel. Then follow the highest part of your eyebrow arch to copy Ashley's deep side part and tuck back the bangs by crisscrossing two bobby pins. A spritz of Moroccanoil Gold Glimmer Shine Spray helps give that extra boost of pretty glossiness.
Twilight Beauty: Nikki Reed's French Side Braid
Nikki Reed took a cue from her vampire character, Rosalie Hale, with this retro and romantic braided updo that's über-easy to copy. All you need to do is create a deep part, French-braid one side and secure into a bun. Gently tug at random sections of the braid for a not-too-perfect feel.
Twilight Beauty: Ashley Greene's Plum Lipstick
No need to sink your teeth into someone to get the berry, bitten-lip look. Just swipe on an autumn-perfect lip stain like DuWop's Pure Venom Berry. "Whenever you are going to go vampy on the lips, keep the eyes neutral so that the lips really make the statement," says DuWop's makeup artist, Jason Garner.
Twilight Beauty: Anna Kendrick's Rosy Cheeks
Anna Kendrick (Forks High's gossipy valedictorian, Jessica) proves that a full moon doesn't have to shine in your face to get a little glow. We love Nars' Highlighting Blush in New Order, which combines the right amount of glimmer with a touch of pink color for your cheeks.
Twilight Beauty: Nikki Reed's Cute Fishtail Braid
To add something special to a loose, wavy updo, sneak it a tiny fishtail braid (or fake it with a braided headband that matches your hair color) like Nikki Reed did here. Paired with dewy skin and tons of mascara, this natural-looking beauty move has a soft boho feel.
Twilight Beauty: Kristen Stewart's Subtle Smoky Eye
There are a couple ways to lure someone in with your eyes. One is to practice Bella's tantalizing stare in Twilight in the mirror all day. Or you could steal this sexy smoky eye makeup look by using a shimmery charcoal eyeshadow and blending it into the crease of your eyelids. Take an angled eyeshadow brush to dab shadow onto the button lash line, too. "Brighten the eyes by applying DuWop's Doubleglow7 to the inner corner of the eyes and through the brow bone. This highlighter gives the eyes a nice sheen," suggests Garner.
Twilight Beauty: Christian Serratos' Glittery Eyeshadow
Your eyes will twinkle in the moonlight with a little help from shimmery eyeshadow. Pick a universally flattering matte color like brown or beige to brush all across the lid as a base, and use a sparkly light golden metallic color on the inner corners of your eye and about ¾ of the way across the rest of the lid. For a glowly look like Christian Serratos' try Maybelline's Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eye Shadow in Sunset Seduction for an all-in-one palette that you can easily tuck in your bag.
Twilight Beauty: Nikki Reed's Bronzy Glow
The pale vampire look may be a sexy style for her on-screen adopted brother, Edward (played by cutie Robert Pattinson), but we're digging the sun-kissed skin Nikki Reed has in real life. For a pretty insta-glow, use a large powder brush to dust powder bronzer onto the apples of your cheeks and sweep across your forehead, then down your nose.

Pre-Order Today!
Is the thought of John Duns Scotus relevant to 21st century men and women? Dr. Thomas A. Shannon provides a new introduction to his classic work and explores the areas of congruence and insight between several contemporary issues and the work of this 13th century Franciscan.
To some, the examination of the ethical theory of John Duns Scotus may seem an arcane perhaps even foolhardy exercise. Scotus lived over 700 years ago; his thought is difficult to grasp; many themes in his analysis of issues seem to be or actually are convoluted. Additionally, many have not heard of Scotus or, if they have, it is primarily as the one who opposed Aquinas and came off second best. Even his beatification in 1993 was not widely noted outside of the Franciscan community.

OK, the 325's fuel tank vent solinoid is mounted in a very bad place when temps exceed -30C. Plain and simple its freezing so it doesn't work. So either the engine simply doesn't work, runs erratic, or fills the engine up with fuel overnight when topped off
Only solution I can come up with in an insulated cover, or cut and cap the vent line, and with a micro drill bit, put a hole in the side and under the cap.

Round 15 - Japan 5-7 October 2012
Venue: Suzuka
Circuit Length: 5.807 Km
Laps: 53
Lap Record: 1:31.540 = 228.372 km/h - K. Raikkonen (McLaren) 2005
2011 Results
Pole Position: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault); 1:30.466 = 231.083 km/h
1st: Jenson Button (McLaren Mercedes) 1:30.53.427 (av. race speed 202.972 km/h)
2nd: Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), 1.180s behind
3rd: Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull Renault), 2.006s behind
Fastest Lap: Button, 1:36.568 = 216.481 km/h on Lap 52
Here's a question for you. In the last 17 visits to Suzuka the Japanese Grand Prix has been won only once by a driver who was not a World Champion. Who was that, and when? Answer at the end of our preview!
"There are six races left and I need to win them all," said Lewis Hamilton in the aftermath of his Singapore disappointment. But how will the news of his defection to Mercedes in 2012 affect the rest of Hamilton's 2012 campaign? If we are to believe the man himself, he's 100% focused on a second title, even though the odds are against it. "There's nothing to really be gained by analysing the points tables, from now on, it's simply gloves-off," he says. Lewis is 29 points behind Fernando Alonso...
Last year's Suzuka winner, in highly emotional circumstances, was Hamilton's current teammate Jenson Button, who sums the Japanese track up perfectly: "Suzuka is definitely a circuit that puts hair on your chest," he smiles. "It's extremely uncompromising; like a street circuit, it doesn't allow for a single mistake, punishing you for putting a wheel wrong at almost every point on the circuit."
"But it's also extremely quick," adds Button. "There's only one line through the esses that make up the whole first section; the Degner corners are blind, hidden in dips in the track, and approached over bumps that jolt the car, trying to unbalance it. Successfully hitting the apex for Degner 1 is a bit like trying to thread a needle while running the 100 metres – difficult!" More difficult for Jenson this year: he has a five-place grid penalty because he needs a new gearbox.
To meet the Suzuka challenge, including the thrilling 130R – fastest corner of the whole season – tyre suppliers Pirelli are taking their P Zero Silver (hard) and Yellow (soft) tyres, which sounds like a step back from last year (medium/soft) but as the Italian company points out the 2012 tyres are in fact softer than their 2011 counterparts. With a full step between the two compounds on offer, they also expect to see a range of pit stop strategies.
A man with local knowledge of his own is Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi, currently overshadowed in the cockpit and out of it by teammate Sergio Perez. "It is a very technical track, really exciting to drive and actually it is very difficult to do a perfect lap there, which is part of the challenge," says Japan's lone F1 representative. "I would say at most of the circuits it takes no more than 20-30 laps to really learn them. Some are getting boring even before that, but in Suzuka you are still learning and improving after you have done hundreds of laps."
Perez, of course, is off to McLaren to replace Hamilton, who is replacing Michael Schumacher at Mercedes. How will the German driver cope with six more races as his comeback threatens to peter out? He's won at Suzuka before – six times, to be precise, and he says he's up for it again: "My motivation is completely intact after the news last week, especially because Suzuka is one of the season's highlights for me," he says. "I enjoy the circuit – it has sections that challenge you as a driver like almost nowhere else." Michael too has a bigger challenge this weekend: his collision with Vergne in Singapore has cost him 10 places on the Suzuka grid.
Lotus Renault's Romain Grosjean has only raced at Suzuka once in an F1 car but he still loves it as much as the rest of them. "It's difficult to pick one part of the circuit as your favourite. The first sector is brilliant, with turn one, turn three, four and five – it's crazy! Then you go right under the bridge, then a small hairpin, and next up is the 'Spoon corner' which is a nightmare for the drivers. Then you're flat out, DRS wide open, before the last chicane. A brilliant circuit."
So it takes a brilliant drive to conquer it – and that's exactly what Grosjean's teammate Kimi Raikkonen produced when he won the Japanese Grand Prix for McLaren seven years ago. "In 2005 I had one of my best wins there after starting the race near the back of the grid and then taking the lead on the last lap," recalls the taciturn Finn. "Winning in that way, you never forget the feeling it gives you while crossing the finish line." It included a brush with his teammate Montoya, a superb swoop on Schumacher's Ferrari and an irresistible last-lap attack on Fisichella's Renault.
For Aussie fans it will be fun to see if Dan Ricciardo can steal Mark Webber's thunder again as the Toro Rosso man did in Singapore. Ricciardo's one appearance at Suzuka saw him qualify 22nd in the HRT last year and finish in the same position. Webber has a bit more experience: the Red Bull man has raced eight times at Suzuka for Minardi, Jaguar, Williams and his current team. His best result: 2010, when he qualified second – his only Suzuka front row – and finished in the same spot.
Answer: it was Rubens Barrichello in his Ferrari days in 2003.

I agree that hearing about monetizing freeware is scary, but it seems to be happening all around us. One example may be Picasa. Free is the word Google is built around. They are best at the free+ads game.
Individuals can afford to give software away for free and receive no monetary compensation, but I believe all of us seek at least some kind of compensation and are happy when someone likes the software, recommends it, ...
On the other hand, any software has a live cycle. Coding the initial version is fun, adding new features that people request less so, writing documentation is usually boring, answering the same question N times (despite an answer being on the web) can be frustrating, updating for new OSes, solving compatibility issues is a chore. All that must be done to maximize the chances to be "successful" (whatever definition we agree on, but roughly more users = more success). If this is to be sustainable in a long run, some form of income is needed.
I made 6 freeware apps in the last 4 years. None of them is a financial success. Though 3 of the 6 apps brought at least a few bucks from donations. I also tried ads on the tools' web pages - this could be an alternative to donations if the typical users are not likely to send money. So far, I have resisted all the offers to include some kind of toolbar or adware in the installers.
From the limited experience I have, I believe it is possible, but extremely difficult to earn enough to pay for living by making freeware. One would have to carefully plan what kind of application to make, dedicate the right amount of time to it and make a lot of applications, because only some of them will "make it".

Philadelphia Flyers Schedule
Thursday, 7:00 PM
Wednesday, 8:00 PM
Flyers Ticket Info
There's no doubt that the Philadelphia Flyers are one of the most talented teams in the NHL right now. Unfortunately in the lockout shortened season of '13 the Flyers were not able to reach the postseason. Philly finished a very disappointing 4th in the Atlantic Division and 10th in the Eastern Conference. They got off to the worst start in team history at 0-3 and were seemingly never able to recover.
The Flyers will look to bounce back this season when the NHL returns to a full 82 game schedule. They have plenty of great young players on the roster including Claude Giroux, Wayne Simmonds, and Brandon Manning who will help them both immediately and down the road. One thing is for certain, fans in Philadelphia expect much more out of their team and will not be satisfied until the boys on Broad Street are hoisting the Stanley Cup. Head coach Peter Laviolette will have the team refocused and ready for the upcoming campaign, so don't be surprised if the Flyers to return to the postseason in '13-'14.
Expect the Flyers to come at their opponents hard this season, and Philadelphia Flyers tickets will be in high demand, especially for the battles against division rivals New York, Pittsburgh and New Jersey. Wells Fargo Center is going to light up with some heavy hitting action this year, and you can be there with Philadelphia Flyers tickets.

Ah, Sundance. The time of year where we get to see all of our favorite celebs, bedecked in furry boots, oversized parkas, and swaddled in scarves, motoring around Utah and chatting about independent cinema. After spending the entire year spotting stars on warm Los Angeles streets or while they frolic at farfetched tropical vacations, it's always heartening to see that Sundance is kind of like, "Celebs, they're just like us...and they are very, very cold."
Yet, some well-heeled Park City visitors have the right idea with their bundling tactics, and taking inspiration from the Sundance slopes is a great way to refresh your wintery mix. Check out some of the things we're packing as we head west this winter.

Under the recreational marijuana measures in Colorado and Washington, personal possession of up to an ounce (28.5 grams) of marijuana would be legal for anyone at least 21 years of age. They also will permit cannabis to be legally sold and taxed at state-licensed stores in a system modeled after a regime many states have in place for alcohol sales.
The Colorado measure will limit cultivation to six marijuana plants per person, but "grow-your-own" pot would be still be banned altogether in Washington state.

LAX Series Edge Dining Table Set
by MASHstudios
Chunky legs give this piece a whimsical and charming character, while skinny peeks of white powder-coated steel make the LAX Edge Dining Table Set distinctly modern. To achieve a sleek super-thin edge, the tabletop is reinforced with integrated metal stiffeners, leaving plenty of fuss-free space below. The table is crafted of sustainable and engineered English walnut then finished with environmentally friendly natural oil to emphasize the wood's intrinsic glow.
LAX Dining Table Set features:
- Table is 29" h x 72" w x 36" d
- Chairs are 32" h x 17" w x 20" d
- Benches are 18" h x 66" w x 14" d
- Solid English Walnut with natural oil finish
Also In This Collection
Materials & MeasurementsMaterials:
Frame is solid English Walnut frame with natural oil finish. Corner stiffeners are powder-coated aluminum.
Dimensions: Table: 29" h x 72" w x 36" l
Chairs: 32" h x 17" w x 20" d
Benches: 18" h x 66" w x 14" d
Cleaning and Care
For simple cleaning, use a damp cloth with a mild detergent. Over time, you may want to refinish the surface with a refinishing agent to regain its original luster. For this we recommend Scott's Liquid Gold. Pour a small amount onto a rag and wipe the entire surface until you have an even finish. Do not pour the cleaner directly onto the furniture as this can result in an uneven coat or discolor the wood.
If your furniture develops stains like a watermark from a glass, use 220 grit sandpaper and lightly sand the wood until the stain dissapears. For best results, follow this with a treatment of Linseed Oil to refinish the surface to its original quality.
Try to keep the piece out of direct sunlight if possible. It is wood's natural property to darken over time when exposed to sunlight, so if an object is left on your LAX furniture and left in the sun for a long time, the covered surface will appear lighter once the object is moved. This light spot will take time to blend back into the surrounding area and may never be fully as dark. Also, don't put hot stuff like pots and pans directly on the wood.

Windy & cold along the summit ridge. Tagged Mount Walter on the way down. Back at the trailhead by 11:40am (3.5 hrs car-to-car).

|Weather Issues At The Summit
Date Climbed: Sep 7, 2007
|Starting in the early morning, there were beautiful weather conditions... *until* I climbed halfway up the saddle-slope between Wheeler Peak & Mount Walter. Then, suddenly, a solid cloud blanket covered over both peaks. The wind picked up, and it quickly felt like the temperature dropped to below freezing. When I reached Wheeler Peak's summit, the cloud/fog was so thick that I couldn't see 2-3 feet in front of me, so I jogged over to Mount Walter's summit to hopefully find more suitable conditions... only to find much of the same thick cloud cover there. It was too bad, as I bet that the views from the summits would have been spectacular. Thank goodness for my GPS & general pathfinding skills. The Williams Lake Trail is very nice!!!

Date Climbed: Jun 18, 2007
|1st time there was still a fair amount of snow on the slopes. It was pretty solid and made for some great glissading. Had to turn back the first time because the weather was looking like it was going to turn for the worse. 2nd time up, there was less snow but what was there was not as solid and I did not feel as secure to glissade down. Weather was beautiful the second time around and I made it up with no major problems.

|Easy hike to the Lake and then a scramble up the slopes to the ridge. Once on the ridge,turn RIGHT and in less then 1/2 a mile you will come to the much photographed summit. Incredible views from everywhere and a recent dusting of snow just made it that much more beautiful

http://www.finheaven.com/images/icons/icon1.gif Congrats to the Dolphins on winning the
Super Bowl
Because seemingly, this is what this game was to
that ****bag franchise. They talked crap for weeks about the Jets trying to
injure Bush in game 1 (we weren't!) act like classless pricks on the field (that
tattoed POS dolphin OT gesturing at the Jets bench, among other things) They
were coming off a bye while we have half a team on IR and were coming off a
brutal OT game in New England.
Those idiots dance around like it's the
super bowl. No wonder this team is practically NFL siberia with 10 fans
nationwide. Those dopes don't even have an OUNCE of class. Reggie Bush did
nothing today and had a fumble, watch him open up his heisman-less trap and
talk. 200 yards of Miami total offense and they'll be talking up a storm I'm
Nice to see Tannenhill get some hot sauce. As well as some Miami
D-line players.
Fish will be dissapointed no lombardi trophy in the
locker room. But congrats on this franchises greatest accomplishment in 12+
years as they improve to a mighty 4-3
Dolphins like to pretend they
matter. Newsflash, it's not 1984, nobody cares about you anymore

Intimate Strangers (Confidences trop intimes)
Drama, Comedy
A disturbed-looking woman named Anna enters a Paris apartment building where white-collar professionals conduct business from their homes. The concierge--whose chronic involvement in a dopey soap opera is a wink to the melodrama at work in ordinary lives--tells her that Dr. Monnier's practice is on the fifth floor. Anna takes the elevator, chooses a door and is admitted by William, whose secretary has left for the day. Obviously upset, Anna explains it's an emergency. With minimum prompting from William, she quickly reveals she's been married for four years and works in an upscale luggage boutique. Her husband is unemployed, and, although their love life was formerly quite satisfying, they haven't had sex for six months. She thinks she's going crazy. Talking seems to make Anna feel better and she spontaneously proposes a date and time for their next appointment. She then leaves without having given her name or phone number. Later, William explains his predicament to ex-wife Jeanne; the audience discovers that although he does have a couch in his office and there was a book about psychoanalysis on his desk, William is actually a financial planner specializing in tax problems. Psychiatrist Dr. Monnier, whom Anna meant to see, has an office a few doors down on the same floor. Jeanne, who's traded in the unassuming and fastidious William for outgoing hulk Luc, tells her former love that he must come clean. But although William does his level best to remedy the misunderstanding, Anna doesn't let him get a word in edgewise on her subsequent visit as she spills ever more intimate details about her private life.

Whoa, not so fast, hombre. Without prejudice of any sort toward -- well, really anything whatsoever -- whether or not it turns out that these computer simulations successfully knock the bottom out of the ID argument, that's hardly the same as establishing the historical facticity of any particular theory of evolution (we really need to speak of a family of theories, not a single theory). And it hardly seems appropriate, to say the least, to compare, on the one hand, any reconstructed account of a staggeringly complex non-repeatable series of events preceding human history, to, on the other hand, the phenomenon of gravitation, which is literally universal and continuously demonstrable, or the Pythagorean theorum, which can be demonstrably derived from self-evident axioms by any reasonably bright geometry student.

Is this the article you were referring to? I found this bit especially interesting...
And why should the human reproductive system be so shoddily designed? Fewer than one-third of conceptions culminate in live births. The rest end prematurely, either in early gestation or by miscarriage. Nature appears to be an avid abortionist, which ought to trouble Christians who believe in both original sin and the doctrine that a human being equipped with a soul comes into existence at conception. Souls bearing the stain of original sin, we are told, do not merit salvation. That is why, according to traditional theology, unbaptized babies have to languish in limbo for all eternity. Owing to faulty reproductive design, it would seem that the population of limbo must be at least twice that of heaven and hell combined.

There are fields more scientific than others under this rubric of evolutionism. But the broad statements of theory, particularly from those who think they know, are a horrible and self-contradictory mash, often confusing fact with theory, theory with fact, and science with a sort of anti-religious cult. Now there is science in genetics. Fr. Mendel was onto something. And it borrows the formulas of sampling, and can explain and predict to a limited degree - as is true of actual science. There is science in biology, as not just an observational science, but also as one of experiment based on practice and theory. Paleontology has been rife with fraud. But in places, it too, is at least an observational science. But it's this broader sense of any simple sense or definition of - evolution - itself, which is what is problematic, so much so that one might fairly characterize it as a superstition of the 19th-20th centuries. I think that would be fair. That is, those who claim evolution is true, can't themselves really say what evolution is, at least where they also agree with most anyone else. Those who say evolution has been scientifically proven, presume too much and do not give science its due.
To speak of evolution is to speak of a desire to explain a fossil record that suggests, mostly, a complexity growing from simplicity. It caused some to falsely adopt the notion that ontology recapitulates phylogeny, as they offered the false comparison with embryonic development. But one speaks of evolution and means chance mutation, and the chance of situation, based on an inherent genetic variability, on the level of a vaguely categorized 'population'. He points to an inherent adaptability in something so quickly regenerative as bacteria or viruses. The next 'outbreak' is caused not by the original, but by a new mutation - that is. But another speaks of evolution and means the etiology of life itself, which others would claim is entirely outside this vague notion of - evolution. Another speaks of life from 'space seed', then delivering the form of man from that of an ape-like creature, imbued at some mysterious point with a soul, as he cannot explain what happened to others of the same species. Another speaks of evolution and means only a mechanism for selecting mutation, which Darwin called 'natural selection'. And 'natural selection' might be all he'll say. While another might speak of evolution and insist upon other important mechanisms, as did Gould and others in their effort to explain the still mysterious fossil record, by way of a 'burst' of evolution, to accompany the slow 'geological' change, by chance, imagined by Darwin.
Posted 26 March 2005 - 05:34 AM
And in, this, Holt also writes the following:
One beauty of Darwinism is the intellectual freedom it allows. As the arch-evolutionist Richard Dawkins has observed, ''Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.'' But Darwinism permits you to be an intellectually fulfilled theist, too. That is why Pope John Paul II was comfortable declaring that evolution has been ''proven true''
To the contrary, one might agree that one of the 'beauties' of Darwinism is that, today, so few call themselves Darwinists. In the same intellectual pride, they imagine themselves better and more 'advanced' that the father of the field, themselves lacking any better theory, fact, definition or whatever else. There is certainly an anti-religious bent in Darwin himself. For he argues, even at his best, the theory of the disinterested Creator - God set in motion certain things in a quasi-deterministic fashion, a quantum yet somehow stilll mechanical universe, 'design' implied in the 'levers' and 'envelope' and guided by who? and washed his hands, essentially, of what would result.
His Holiness has said and done many crazy things, for which he was roundly and publicly criticized over the years by Catholics, even by Evangelicals and others. There is this notion that the Pope is taken for the ends he serves, not as a moral guide in our desire to serve God. So one will claim that the Pope should be obeyed. But when such a one discovers that the Pope pleaded for the life of Terri Schiavo, you will be lucky if you get a response, and that finally coming might be heard as a mumble having to do with doings at the racetrack, rather than address any contradiction. One can help clarify when to listen by saying that in his exercise of the ordinary Magisterium, in proclaiming even ordinances based on established doctrinal teaching, such as his proclamation against any female priesthood, that His Holiness is to be obeyed. But if he expresses an opinion on the weather, short of any penned message he might have read let's say, any opinion on the character of an Italian politician, for example, or regarding any 'proof' of evolution, then one might say that's his opinion.

Also, A bit less dissing of the leaders of other faiths, and a small bit of humility, might be in order, Sevry old chap. For my own part, I'd be less worried about the Pope's perceived craziness than about Rush Limbaugh who seems to be your own spiritual leader. Sometimes your posts seem more like monologues designed to be delivered at some kind of a rally rather than aids to discussion.
Posted 27 March 2005 - 05:39 AM
But. This is one Catholic who would only be repeating himself to say that - evolution - is a concept, and does not appear to be a science. It appears to be even a superstition, as it must be believed, some believe, but cannot be consistently described or defined in any way that would satisfy scientific clarity. Ones attempt to scientifically state, as it were, evolution runs head on into someone else's statement. It's more than mere disagreement. It's more than just a few major competing theories. Few seem to agree even on the basics. One could perform the same scientific test in this very forum, with that hypothesis that previous 'studies' would be confirmed. Few could seriously and clearly state either the fact or theory, without disagreeing as to which is which, and what ought to be included, and in what fashion.
I would also only be repeating myself, as well, to say that aspects of the sciences where evolutionists have borrowed for their purpose, such as genetics, such as aspects of biology and medicine, even perhaps cognitive psychology, or whatever has some establish science, some predictive metrics and momentarily accepted theory, do state their theories and do present their formulas, as well. The evolutionist might borrow the same and call them his own. But if the very statement of the 'fact' of evolution, and also the 'theory' of evolution, proves so elusive, then all the evolutionist can claim is that he curiously borrows in the hope of defining both fact and theory, perhaps; hoping, that is, that he can definitively say just what it is that he does.
Posted 12 May 2005 - 05:19 PM
just curious here
are those expressing skepticism regarding Darwinism speaking of the alledged mechanism for or the very idea of common descent?
Common descent seems an awfully good bet from here.....
from whales with hips to matching retrovirus inserts in higher primates to the very weight of the fossil records progression.....
Posted 28 May 2005 - 11:11 PM
But I hear you, amandell--the existence of parts of the anatomy that seem unnecessary does seem to fit better with common descent + evolutionary change rather than special creation. Although death before the fall does seem to create theological complexities for many, but if Adam & Eve hadn't eaten of the tree of life & hadn't sinned, I'm not sure that they would have been immortal (thinking from a theological perspective here). In other words, I'm not 100% sure that sin necessarily introduced death--it may have been part of the deal for God's creatures. Pardon my meandering.
Anyway, the original article appears to be gone from the Seed Magazine web site. They don't appear to keep old issues online.

Note also that the threat "don't eat of this tree, or on that day you will die" doesn't mean there was no death previously, only a threat that it will come upon you when you eat this fruit. (And then it doesn't, God is such a softy.)
But then trying to talk about the J creation story and evolution are mixing fruit any way

Yes, I understand that. I suppose I should have said "hadn't eaten from either tree". I was constructing a hypothetical.
Posted 20 July 2005 - 12:28 PM
Perhaps, but is something not worthwhile or untrue because it is "bad science"? That would rule out intuition, art, revelation etc. It sounds like the kind of Enlightenment idealism that in its embers these days. In any event, I think IDers make different types of claims, some scientific, some not. For example:
1. "Evolutionary theories are currently unable to describe phenomenon X (e.g., the formation of life, mechanisms of macroevolution, emergence of human consciousness)."
2. "There's a good chance evolutionary theories may never be able to explain phenomenon X."
3. "Phenomenon X appears to be designed."
4. "Because phenomena X appears intelligently designed, there must exist an intelligent designer."
I think claim type #1 is reasonably scientific. It deals with the success or failure of scientific theories to explain evidence.
#2 is arguable. On the flip side, many evolutionists make the inverse claim that they believe that evolution will one day be able to explain phonemenon X. Either way, you can say that evidence leads you to a certain expectation, but you can't be certain.
I have heard #3 compared to "forensic science". I don't know how much of a semantic game that is. If you're looking at a crime scene, you're accumulating facts, and you're making a hypothesis about what happened. To some extent, you can test the validity of your hypothesis, although not necessarily empirically.
I don't know what you call #4, but it seems like a more reasonable conclusion than "We can explain many things through natural processes, therefore there is no God." Many hard-core skeptics and formerly-atheistic scientists have come to similar conclusions as #4. Please, let's not forget that when we criticize ID. Many of its arguments cannot be blithely dismissed.
In any event, perhaps the right question is not "Is ID a science?" but "Is ID thinking a legitimate way to arrive at truth?" I just read in Lee Strobel's latest book about an IDer (Stephen Meyer, I think) arguing for a new age of science using "inference to the best explanation". The method is to accumulate all relevant facts & all possible hypotheses (not just naturalistic ones) and test to see which hypothesis has the best explanatory power. Sounds a bit pragmatic--a reasonable attempt. Presumably it would be cheating to have one of the hypotheses be a catch-all "deus ex machina" hypothesis, in which anything COULD conceivably be explained as a direct act of God, although I'm not 100% how that would be handled. And it might be better to leave science as it is & call this new method something else just to keep the integrity of the different tools / models. But if we as Christians believe that science is not the only way to arrive at truth, then I would guess that we would at least sympathize with attempts to develop other legitimate methods.
--content deleted--
I guess I feel more strongly about science classes being free to point out limitations in current evolutionary theory than necessarily presenting ID as an alternative. And I definitely don't think science classes have any business teaching naturalism as a worldview. That belongs in the humanities.
One other scientific concern I have with ID is that saying "phenomenon X was caused by an act of a higher being" suggests that we shouldn't try to keep coming up with natural explanations. But if natural explanations exist, this hampers the ability of science to expand. However, to be fair, being overly dogmatic about Darwinism also hampers the ability of science to expand by bring improvements or corrections to evolutionary theory. And ID is useful is bringing some humility to evolutionists.
Similarly, the main concern I have about ID from a religious perspective, is that you're on the shifting sand of God-in-the-gaps. If you say "Phenomenon X can't be explained by science--only a designer. So God exists" and then someone says, "Oh, I just explained phenomenon X via natural processes" it makes it look like God no longer exists, even though that does not follow logically.
--content deleted--
Alan, I guess I'm not seeing why this is laudable.
''It takes a philosophical bent rather than a clear statement of the science, and that's where we part ways with them.''
I certainly hope none of their other films are guilty of expressing any secular humanistic or naturalistic philosophy! We would ALL hate to mix that with science, wouldn't we?
Posted 27 July 2005 - 09:20 PM
''To parallel 'Inherit the Wind,' " Gilder says, in response to the inevitable Scopes trial question, ''it's the materialists who are the religious fanatics this time. They want to stomp on their critics."
Information Theory? That's a new one on me. But more recent creationist critiques of evolution that I have read have dealt with the difficulty in evolution increasing information content (which is a more abstract way of defining macro-evolution). Dunno.
Anyway, my main thing is distinguishing between (1) maintaining the integrity of science as a tool and (2) saying that science is the only way to arrive at truth or things that can be measured scientifically are the only things that exist. I do think the tides are moving against #2 these days (which seems incompatible with Christianity).
Posted 09 August 2005 - 08:24 PM
I occasionally visit the website, and now blog, of a fellow named Phil Plait, mostly because of his movie reviews (on the Bad Astronomy site). He recently started taking jabs at creationists and intelligent design proponents...unfortunately in a most childish and un-professional way. It's started a real poop-storm and his true colors are REALLY beginning to show, since it appears that he's removed the serious comments supporting ID from his blog .
What's really sad is the plethora of comments by people who are obviously unclear on their terms and buying into outdated theories. Sweeping statements like "every scientist knows" are always a red flag for me, especially when they are wrong.

However, I have been thinking about this so-called controversy and I don't really see what people are arguing about. Since God created everything, then God also created every discipline of science. Therefore, if one accepts evolution as a scientific basis, then evolution does not negate the existence of God, but verifies it..
A Wikipedia article states that ID proponents look for the patterns and designs in natural processes to support their argument that everything created comes from a higher intelligence.
I think it is a little simplistic to reduce all cycles and processes in nature to easily identifiable patterns. I believe that randomness occurs in nature as often as patterns do. In fact, chaos theory claims that the universe tends toward entropy, but there are so many intricate patterns within nature (snowflakes, life cycle, food cycle, ecology, etc.) Order and chaos apparently have a symbiotic and yin/yang relationship with each other.
However, the scientists point to randomness as proof that there is no intelligent design.
Why can't both sides be right? Is it such a radical idea to consider that chaos is also one of God's patterns?
In the beginning, God said, "Let there be light." I wasn't there, of course, but that might have been what scientists call The Big Bang. That whole process was (and is) ultimate chaos. Nevertheless, planets, stars and suns developed out of it. Planets rotate on their axes and stars revolve around each other without crashing.
While watching Nova, I am sometimes struck by the beauty of the balance in the universe. Plants and animals are born, grow old and die. Planets are born and die. There are violent confrontations between hunter and prey, but there is also a harmony of "The Circle of Life."

Thread: how do you write production code
how do you write production code
I am rewriting some code at the moment and it is written in a style that I am unfamiliar with, which I think is called production style. Here's a very basic example:
<!doctype html> <html lang="en"> <head> <style> </style> </head> <body> <input type="button" value="hi" onclick="namespace.hello()"/> <input type="button" value="bye" onclick="namespace.goodbye()"/> <script> var namespace = function () { return { hello: function () { alert("hello") }, goodbye: function () { alert("goodbye") } } }(); </script> </body> </html>
My questions:
- Is the return really necessary, and if not how would you make that code work without?
- I assume that the page is coded that way to avoid polluting the global namespace. But I have two functions within the same page that need access to the same variables. I see that declaring a variable in the "namespace" function makes it available to both the hello and goodbye functions, but it doesn't actually become globally global, does it?
thanks in advance for any thoughts.
oh, der.
I think I got it...
didn't I?Code:var namespace= { msg:"howdy", hello: function () { alert(namespace.msg) }, goodbye: function () { alert("goodbye") } }

Yes, both snippets are essentially the same. The second one simply declares an object, the first one is a little bit trickier: It defines a function that returns an object and then immediately calls itself (so-called self-invoking function).
You're also right about the purpose: Except for the namespace (i.e. the name of your module) nothing will be global, which means that you don't break other code and just as important, other code won't break yours (unless it is loaded after yours and explictly overwrites your namespace object).
The only thing to look out for now is to ensure that namespaces won't collide. This is already fairly unlikely and even if it happens, it's an easy fix. In other languages like Java, for example, it's common practice to use reverse domain notation as the "namespace" (technically it's more a subpackage structure, but the idea is the same). The Google Play Store even uses this as the unique identification for an app!
The tricky thing about this in JavaScript is a concept called closures. A simple example:
The variable current sort of acts like a private variable: It is within the closure of the self-invoked function and will stay alive in there, so the returned function can keep using it. However, it will be completely unknown to the global scope. Even adding a global variable with the same name will not interfere with this.Code:var counter = (function () { var current = 0; return function () { console.log( current++ ); }; })(); counter(); // 0 counter(); // 1 counter(); // 2 console.log( current ); // undefined var current = 42; counter(); // 3 counter(); // 4 console.log( current ); // 42

The simplest way to avoid namespace clashes in JavaScript if you don't jumble the JavaScript with the HTML as you have in your example is to wrap all of the code for a script inside an anonymous function so as to effectively create a separate unnamed namespace for that script. Only library references need to use global variables so as to be accessible to multiple scripts in the page.
For example:
or if you use JQuery then the following leaves just jQuery as the only global variable while you use $ inside your code to reference it.Code:(function() { // all your code goes here })();
Where you don't keep all the JavaScript together and instead jumble it with the HTML the way you used to have to do it for Netscape 4 and earlier then setting up a namespace like you have will at least minimize clashes with other scripts in the page - but it will mean that if you have the same piece of HTML on multiple pages and some have one script that references a tag and some have two then the JavaScript embedded in the HTML will need to be different depending on which scripts are attached to the page - so there is still the possibility for script clashes in the part of the script that is in the HTML file instead of in the JavaScript.Code:jQuery.noConflict(); (function($) { // all your jQuery code goes here })(jQuery);
To avoid such clashes you should replace the JavaScript code in the HTML with an id attribute and then add code into the separate JavaScript to run the code you removed from the HTML but using an event listener rather than an event handler - so that having a second script add code for the same event will not cause a clash.
With the code you currently have using the namespace simply adding a second script that contains the following statement would break the first script even with it using a namespace - because the event processing is outside the namespace.
Code:document.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].onclick = function() {alert('not hello');};

Don't forget to start your JavaScript code with
"use strict";which makes it easier to find errors in your code.
