Alex Berezow and Stephen Meyer talk about God and Evolution on the Michael Medved Show

"I believe that demonstrating the existence of intelligent agency with the tools of science is impossible." - Alex Berezow
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
Collection of the best articles of the past several weeks on science (and faith) from around the web.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
Scholar and musician Jeff Warren addresses the questions of how music is meaningful, and where that meaning resides, by looking at the popular ideas that musical meaning is entirely subjective to the listener and that the meaning of music can be universal. He also explores the recent trend of attempting to explain music via neuroscience. Finally, he looks into the reasons why music continues to play such a critical role in the worshiping life of the Church.
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
The interesting thing about this is that Steve Meyer and I are probably really in almost the same exact position when it comes to our core beliefs. We differ primarily in one regard.
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274) was the foremost Christian scholar of the High Middle Ages and is today regarded as a "doctor" of the Catholic Church. No, Aquinas was not a materialist neuroscientist, but he understood the intimate interdependence of mind and body.
Many scientists feel that the ID movement is an attempt to locate gaps in our scientific knowledge and then to presume those gaps can only be filled by intervention of an external intelligence. It is important to note that ID leaders do not view their work this way.
This in-depth series by Michael L. Peterson surveys author and apologist C.S. Lewis, reflecting on his arguments for the existence of God as well as his views on Intelligent Design and evolution. Peterson first explains the classical lines of rationale and then discusses Lewis' Transcendent Intelligence argument. He clearly distinguishes Lewis' view, however, from other design arguments. As he concludes, he relates Lewis' thoughts on the firmly grounded theory of evolution, presenting his grand Trinitarian worldview which included this scientific view of the universe.
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.
One of the assumptions underlying this worship project is that the sovereign God provides pointers or signposts to Himself in the natural world.

Maryland Comptroller Peter V.R. Franchot says he won't endorse a candidate in the state's 2014 Democratic primary for governor.
Franchot (D) said he has worked with and likes Democratic candidates Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, Del. Heather Mizeur (D-Dist. 20) Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler, and doesn't plan to pick a favorite in the June 2014 primary.
"I'm going to be like Switzerland," he said.
Franchot said he does plan to endorse the Democratic candidate for governor in November's general election.
Franchot considered a run for the governor's mansion himself, but announced in December that he wouldn't seek the office, calling the comptroller's position his "dream job."
He was in Damascus on Thursday to present a proclamation to the Damascus Volunteer Fire Department for its service to the town's residents.
Volunteers such as those at the fire company represent old-fashioned Maryland values, he said.
Darron Long, who has been chief of the Damascus fire company for 32 years, said the recognition was nice because it lets the members know their work is being noticed.
It also meant a lot that Franchot came to deliver the honor personally.
"It's been really well appreciated," Long said.
Franchot also presented a proclamation to Damascus' Jimmie Cone restaurant, recognizing it for more than 50 years of providing ice cream and serving as a center of the community.
Franchot said he presents many proclamations to restaurants because they offer a lot of jobs in communities around Maryland.
Franchot said he remains concerned about the effect the government's budget sequestration cuts have had on the state.
While there have been some small areas of recovery in Maryland, the state is not in a full economic recovery and sequestration adds to the anxiety of families and businesses, he said.
"We have a lot of angst," he said.
But Franchot said he's not sure it's fair to blame July's loss of about 9,300 jobs on sequestration, pointing out that nearby Virginia gained jobs during the same period.
Maryland Labor Secretary Leonard Howie said Monday the sequestration cuts likely had "some impact" on the job numbers.
"All I know is, there's a lot of jobs we need to create in Maryland, and they're not appearing right now," Franchot said.

Quick question regarding Miller engine driven welders with the Onan engines in them (or any other small single or twin cylinder engine).
How often (how many hours) do you pull the heads on your Onans and decarb the engine?
Reason I ask is I've got an Onan that has about 400 hours on it. It is a twin cylinder aluminum engine, Performer P220 and is twin cylinder. The engine runs like a champ, but I've been advised to pull the heads and clean the carbon as a preventative measure. I've also read horror stories about folks doing this and twisting off tin and head bolts trying to get the heads off.
So my gut says, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Somehow I need to address potential carbon build-up.
How often do you pull the heads on your Onans to clean the carbon or do you just run them forever?
On another note, is there anything you can do to minimize the carbon build-up in the first place? I've read some use MMO or Seafoam or spray a mist of water into the carb to burn out the carbon.
Any advice, tips, tricks would be much appreciated.

Onan Engine QuestionBill
Miller Dialarc HF
I'm no expert on Onans,just a thought. Could you pull the plugs and see what they look like? If the engine runs fine and the exhaust doesn't smell rich or smoke all the time.... and the plugs look clean I wouldn't touch a thing.
Ahhhh, never......
Run Lucas fuel system treatment through it. Its pretty good stuff. I put a little bit in all the gas I buy because of ethanol probs. And once a month I do the suggested full treatment
I've got a 1995 Onan on my trailblazer with about 2500 hrs on it and its been the best running engine that I have had yet.
Change the oil, filter and spark plugs, Ive never used the fuel treatments myself but I doubt that it would hurt.
Would you pull the heads off your new truck at 18,000 miles because thats the equivelant of 400 hrs.

You won't get a better de-carbon cleaner than the BG product line,,, like a BG44k you add to your fuel ever so often,, good stuff for not having to pull the heads. If your burning that crap ethonal 10%, no getting around the carboning, wait till the gub-mit makes us burn the e15.....pull-do

I've had many hours with the old cast-iron Onans, various mobile equipment. They had a tendancy to carbon-up the heads. Since using the aluminum block/head Onans for the last 20-30 years or so, in engine-drive welders and generators, I haven't seen this happening ever.Obviously, I'm just a hack-artist, you shouldn't be listening to anything I say .....

Who was it exactly that advised pulling the heads in the first place? Never heard of doing this to an engine that as you say "is running perfectly fine". If it were displaying some symptoms of a malfunction, it might be more understandable, but not on one that is running good. I think you are looking for a problem that does not exist, but may find, if you start tearing into it just because someone advised it. Maybe this guy don't like you and you don't know it yet.

Onan Engine De-Carb
I had a John Deere tractor with an Onan 18 HP engine in it that I got in 1986. We used the tractor was used in commercial lawn service and for my own driveway snow plowing. At about 1500 hrs, I pulled the engine to get at an oil leak and pulled the heads since they were right there and easy to get at. It was a waste of time. There was no significant carbon in the chambers and the valves were still excellent. I put the heads back on and put it back in service.
At 2200 hours I sold the tractor and it was still running perfectly and still was not using any oil between 100 hour changes.
Unless something is not working properly, just leave it alone and run it. Change the oil and filter regularly. It may run forever.

- Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease
(Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathies; HMSNs)
- Type I (demyelinating)—This type affects the coating of the nerve called the myelin sheath, causing nerve impulses to travel more slowly. It usually occurs in childhood or the teen years. It is the most common type of CMT.
- Type II (axonal)—This type affects the part of the nerve called the axons. Although the speed is normal, the size or amount of impulses is less than normal. This type of CMT is less common and occurs after the teen years.
Type III—Also called Dejerine-Sottas disease, this is a rare, severe, early onset form of CMT. It is sometimes considered to be a subtype of CMT Type I. Symptoms may include:
- Delayed ability to walk due to weakness of the leg muscles closest to the trunk
- Severe sensory problems
- Hearing loss
- Type IV (demyelinating autosomal recessive)—This is similar to Type I, but often less severe. It is less likely to be inherited by an affected individual's children.

What better way to look like a magician than to wear a tie covered in playing cards? And you can even use the tie to do a magic trick!
The vivid card design on this necktie is definitely a conversation starter! Wear this tie, and they'll be asking "Do you do magic tricks?"- a perfect opening for you to say "Well, yes, I do!" and launch into a trick. Perfect for wearing at a convention booth, or for restaurant magic or walkaround shows.
And you can actually use this tie as part of your routine! Let your spectator choose a card on the tie, then you produce that card for real! To force a card, use a Force Deck, an Invisible Deck, or actually force the card from an ordinary deck. See the video below to learn a quick and easy way to force a card.
Or do the reverse- let your spectator choose a card from the deck, then pretend that you can't name the card, then finally point to the card- on your tie! (Use a force deck or actually force a card to do this trick).
This is a really well-made and attractive necktie. The large card face design is vividly splashed across the entire tie. The tie is the standard narrow design, 57 inches long and 2 1/4 inches wide at the bottom. Made of man-made materials, it has a subtle sheen opaque overlay pattern, which really makes this POP!
Please note: the tie worn in the demo video is a WIDE tie, which is no longer available. You will be getting the NARROW tie, which is currently in style.

Plain English campaign news articles
Did jargon cause the 'Credit Crunch'?
- Details
- Created on Wednesday, 08 July 2009 13:23
Many of us will have watched the recent Channel 4 documentary on 'Dispatches – How the banks went bust' with feelings of helplessness, disbelief and frustration.
The comments made by the financial experts contributing to the programme were like Plain English Campaign's predictions over the past 30 years. But there was little satisfaction for us in knowing that language had been exploited and misused to such an extent as to contribute to the economic disaster being felt on a worldwide scale.

Plain English Campaign tells all governments to speak the language of the people
- Details

Repeated criticisms have been made by some MPs and the public, about the need for clearer communications from the Prime Minister. Plain English Campaign is responding to the call for our leaders to speak the language of the people. As part of it's 30-year fight against jargon and gobbledygook, the Campaign is offering free plain English training courses to every MP and minister throughout the UK.
There are over 700 representatives of our nation in the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The documented MPs' discussions in Hansard's parliamentary reporting shows how frequently concerns are raised about jargon and bad communication. It is unsurprising then that these frustrations and confusion are multiplied by the time information reaches the public.
Chrissie Maher OBE, founder of the Derbyshire based Campaign says, "The word 'gobbledygook' comes from descriptions of government communications. The end of turkey talk is long overdue. Give us plain English. It's clear, it's honest, it's what our government and our nation need right now."
In 1983, as part of the Rayner Review, the Thatcher government reviewed hundreds of thousands of government documents. In 2009, efforts continue with two public inquiries about the state of public communications from Parliament and government offices. But it is time to take action from the very top. Once again, the Campaign recommends plain English training in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
The Duke of Devonshire, also Chancellor to the University of Derby, spoke from his home at Chatsworth in Derbyshire to say, "We have an individual and moral responsibility to communicate clearly whatever our business. It's never too late to remember the basics of good, clear English, its part of our heritage."
Peter Gallimore, spokesperson for the University of Derby added, "Plain English training sessions are being launched at the University this year for MPs, businesses, or anyone wanting to communicate clearly. It's a great start to the plans for the University to work with Plain English Campaign."
Clarity commitment in US loses small print

Plain English Campaign sent a letter of support to the US President. We await the reactions of Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and Mervyn King, Governor of the Bank of England, to the idea that plain English could bring clarity and honesty to the financial gobbledygook, whyich causes so many problems.
There are organisations in the UK's finance sector who independently provide 'plain English' communications to the public. But there is currently no legislation that imposes shared guidelines for clear communications. People's mistrust of legal language and small print is a complaint we often hear at our offices.
Harriet Harman's Equalities Bill was recently released with plain English explanatory notes to accompany the legal wording. It is a step in the right direction for the UK Government and Parliament. But no organisation, whether in the public or private sector, can afford to ignore any opportunity to renew the public's faith in the communications of our leaders and experts. Legislation and small print exist to protect everyone involved. It makes plain sense to use plain language that can be plainly understood and trusted.
Chrissie Maher, founder of Plain English Campaign, says, "Everyone has the right to understand information they are given. Whether it's about understanding the terms of your expense claims, mortgage terms or credit agreements, plain English can save embarrassment, time, despair and money. So bring on the plain English in the UK – it is our language after all."

"As soon as Epson annouces that next iteration of the 4800 (hopefully with no black ink switching required), I'll ante up for one."
Could be a while. Except for the ink swap, which can be bypassed using ImagePrint, there's little to improve on. Another solution to bypass the ink swap are the new papers such as Crane Museo Silver Rag which are fixing to be all one may ever want from a paper. I am printing on this paper as I type, and the prints are nothing short of stunning.
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=62525\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Are you printing Silver Rag from rolls or cut sheets? I stopped into the only place in town that is going to stock it, and was told that they are still waiting for their order of rolls to come in. When asked about cut sheet sizes, he just sighed and said he hopes to see some by fall. He did mention that the president of Moab, was in the store recently, and mentioned that Moab will also have an answer to Silver Rag, hopefully later this year.
On another note, I visited your website, and took a look at your images. All I can say is "WOW" !! Do those images look that great printed? You mentioned using ImagePrint. Do you use their profiles, or did you generate your own?

... I would wait for the test reports on these new CANONs before buying anything...
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=62552\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
that, my friend! I've been waiting for more than a year to find a printer that can do all I want of it (and I don't believe my needs are unique or demanding), and it doesn't exist yet. Is it too much to ask that a printer should be able to do matt and gloss, decent B&W and produce prints that don't smudge in the hand? Apparently it IS at the moment...

Yes, one would hope nothing reasonable is too much to ask. But remember - a scant 7 years ago there was no such thing as an archival inkjet printer that most of us could afford until the Epson 2000-P hit the market. And for that revolutionary printer, remember the gamut and the metamerism? Longevity wasn't in HP's lexicon in those days - they were concentrating on business printers for the corporate market and mass-market inkjets for email and Microsoft Office. Canon was there with nothing unique except their neat little portables. So far largely thanks to Seiko-Epson, when you look at the quality of the fine art photographic prints we can produce today with relatively modest effort, this is a fabulous technology which is maturing quickly, and will mature some more. Now that Canon has gotten serious about it, and HP is turning out to be no slouch either, the pace will even quicken. I think it won't be long before all or darn close to all that what we think a printer should be will be. It is going to be a good time for consumers in the fine-art printer market.

I'm hoping for great things from the new Canon printers, time will tell. After waiting eagerly for the release of the x800 Epson printers I was deeply disappointed with them. I even thought of buying a 7800
an HP DJ130 at one stage, but decided to give it a year or so until HP responded to the new Epsons. If I was just doing matt then I'd have no reservations, but many people still demand glossy and semi-gloss and I'm frankly not sold on the fine art=matt arguement - I think that's been a position that has arisen due to the limitations of the technology.
The point printers are at right now compared with just a few years ago is truly amazing, no arguements there! However, we're
close to seeing a device that can produce excellent B&W, glossies with no gloss differential, and robust, lasting prints (I'd settle for far less than 200 years), that I'm prepared to wait a little longer, and my big prints are being done on friends' printers. Devotees of the HP DJ130 have tried to persude me that this printer is already there, but I have consistently failed to get well-balanced colour and neutral B&W out of one.

Fine art matte isn't just an argument - on this side of the World it is a commercial success - because it makes for stunning prints that discriminating buyers of fine art photographs (including private individuals, museums and various other collections) appreciate. That's a matter of taste and custom. But true, technically it doesn't suffer from gloss differential!
As things stand I'll take an Epson 4800 over a DJ130 any day - until that something else comes along which beats them both!

We could do the matt vs gloss arguement all day, I'm sure! I know you're right about matt sales, and I also know that a number of well-respected and renowned fine art photographers have embraced the DJ130 because they like the greater dmax of the gloss. For myself, I have prints (mostly B&W) that I prefer on matt, and those I prefer on gloss - there is no hard and fast rule as far as I'm concerned.
A colleague did a 16x24" corporate portrait last year and delivered it on Hahnemuehle Rag from his 4800. The client had seen the proofs on the website, and were disappointed with the print - said it seemed too flat compared with the on-screen proofs. He reprinted it on the DJ190 on HP satin paper, and the client preferred it. Seeing the prints side by side, the Epson was far better colour matched to the original (the HP was too yellow), but the satin finish had more contrast and was more 3-D.
I can't bring myself to buy the HP because I can't get a decent colour match from it, and next to the Epson it seems like a fragile toy. However, anything other than matt from the Epsons is frankly unacceptable due to the truly awful gloss differential issue, and (admittedly now improved) metamerism.
So I'm hoping for great things from this Canon. Hopefully they've weighed up the pros and cons of the HP / Epson competition and are about to deliver something to finally cause me to fill that LF printer-shaped gap in my workroom! DSLR domination today, printers tomorrow?!

I would not agree that gloss differential on the Epson x800 series prints is "truly awful". It is completely absent on lustre type papers and the Crane Silver Rag. I presume the same will be the case for the Silver Rag similars from Hahnemuhle, Innova, BreathingColor , Moab and the rest that are sure to follow. As far as high gloss is concerned , there is minimal differential on Pictorico High Film and Moab Kokapelli. You have to angle the papers to see it in the dark areas. All prints are subject to damage and protected by glass or an applied surface coating , any slight gloss differential will completely disappear. Appropriate coatings can add a very high gloss indeed. For happy snap glossies , light jet prints are still the best economic proposition. For the quick sale stuff at social events , lustre is usually fine. For corporate or domestic portraits I usually find the Hanemuhle Photo Rag or similar is highly appreciated. High gloss on skin tones does little for bloodshot eyes and blotchy faces. Sure you can desaturate red, but it is a lot of work with little economic advantage.
Further the painterly look for these papers seems to be a big advantage.With landscape, I note that luminaries such as Alain Briot and Joseph Holmes are going along the Silver Rag path. Canvasses can give a very high gloss , if required, with appropriate coating, and these should always be coated anyway if they are to be stretched.
Sure , I am looking forward to what Canon comes out with, but mainly to solve the gloss/ matte black ink changeover problem, and to increase gamut and hopefully DMax. I'm sure Epson has something up their sleeves to, which will be revealed when Canon undercuts them or/and when x800 sales start to flag. Gloss differential is, in my mind , not really a problem.

From the little I've heard the new Canons will overcome the matte/glossy ink change issue and they will have wider gamut because of the inclusion of R, G, B inks along with all the CMYK inks. Once the initial test reports come out I'll wait some months to see what people report about clogging and also very important: adaptability to different papers, before buying.

Brian; sorry sir, I have to beg disagreement on the acceptability of the gloss differential. I do agree that it's less pronounced in the current range of printers, but not enough for me. Prints are never viewed always from the perpendicular - light and viewing angle changes all the time, and I can see the differences on the semi-gloss as well as PPG.
Here in HK and other parts of Asia, there is a decided need for non-matt finishes (high gloss isn't really required except outside the 4x6 happy snaps market), and I for one am useless at applying sprays evenly and without capturing a load of dust.
We aren't well served in Asia with a wide supply of alternative papers, but after reading Alain's posting I am importing some of the Crane paper (I already import Hahnemuehle - from Melbourne, in fact) and will test it out. If the gloss differential disappears and I like the paper, then I'll write a cheque for a 7800. Changing that black though is a real issue, unless I splash out further for ImagePrint, or unless Crane would be the only paper I'd use...
Clients here love the look and feel of the HP Satin paper - shame the print smudges when they handle it!
There is scant information about the Canon printer at this point - no dealer in HK has one yet or even knows much about it, but if the initial press releases are anything to go by they've solved the black change issue, and there is an alledged wider gamut. Time though will tell - they make a number of worrying references to cheesy software options which make me wonder if they've got their market properly identified.

As pointed out elsewhere, gloss differential isn't a problem with the printer per se, but a mismatch between the gloss of the ink and the paper itself. Different papers will exhibit different amounts of gloss differential. Resin-coated isn't my thing but I was quite surprised with the results on Ilford Smooth Pearl Paper. It still exhibits the same overall "sheen" as all lustre papers when viewed from the side, but gloss differential on the paper was very hard to spot ... and a lot less than other lustre/satin/semi-matte papers I've tried. I used Bill Atkinson's profiles for the 7800/9800, though on my 4800. Worth a try.

Stephen, an attempt Epson made (in their printer driver) at reducing the gloss differential involved them putting
ink even in the brightest highlights, where normally there would be little or none laid down. The differential is caused by the varying amount and reflectivity of ink 'droplets' sitting on the surface of the paper compared with the paper itself, as it isn't absorbed like the dye-based inks. So where this is the applied technology then it is a fuction of the printer / ink and paper combined. Papers with a textured surface should show this to a lesser effect. But I know you know all this!
For my testing I too used the Bill Atkinson as well as the standard profiles, and I see Crane have offered profiles for the new silver rag on their site. I shall use them in my testing once I get some paper.
BTW, had a peek at your site - you do beautiful work.

I guess I want my options open, and if the 2400 handles full bleed 4 x 6 well, and the occasional larger print than it's probably the way to go. I'm not looking to throw money away, but I'm currently spending $0.25 per 4 x 6 and would be willing to spend a bit more if the result was good.
Are the 4 x 6 epson paper choices limited, or does the whole line run in that size?
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=61146\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
I don't have the 2400, but still the 2200. It handles full bleed on 8.5 x 11 terrifically (so I assume 4 x 6). I just did some oneoffs for a client (in truth, I will have hundreds done of many shots by a graphics lab, but I wanted to check my cropping from my shots, so did them on my 2200---I normally prefer a white border around all my prints--personal preference for most). I don't print on glossy--and that is handled better by the 2400 I'm sure, but on matte (I have my preferences) or semigloss, it does wonderfully. I would not turn over my printing to anyone else.
If I were going to print 4 x 6's, I would just print them on a page and cut them myself--I think that would be more economical and pretty easy.
I think, for your purposes, that the Epson paper profiles would probably suit without purchasing specific profiles, but that's a decision you can make later. I would not let te printer do the color management in any case.
I'm one of those that will probably go to an even larger format printer when the 2200 gives up the ghost, but it just keeps going--and going---as the Energizer bunny does LOL.

Coming from the 1280, I'm still very unhappy with the R2400's color management routine in the driver, or the lack thereof. I get best results with the Photoshop driver on "Printer color management" and the printer's driver on "Colorsync", without involving any icc files.
Can't be right.
[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=62558\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The icc files are buried in the driver. If you use the context menu to show package contents on the SPro4800.plugin (in main Library/Printers) you'll see a folder called Contents. Inside that are a bunch of folders, one of which is named Resources. Inside that folder you'll find a folder called ICC Profiles. When you select ColorSync in the driver, it looks at the media settings to determine which profile to use. You can copy them out of the buried folder for use inside Photoshop.
However, that doesn't explain why you aren't getting good results letting Photoshop handle the conversion, which is usually the more reliable route.

Quick question. What are the best prices you guys and gals are finding for 4800 inks?
Also, What are the various sizes available? are there two diff sizes in these carts?
Also again, Does anyone know how much ink the 2400 carts hold?
P.S. (edit) Anyone finding any particularily good deals on the 4800 itself...the printer. Been seeing media bundles, etc...like from Lexjet. Buy some paper, get the printer for 1595.00, Sounds good but im wondering if there are others out there.

A refurbished 1914-era ship is used these days for tours of Antarctica. Called the MV Fram, it bears the name of the ship used by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen in his race to the South Pole against the Englishman Robert Falcon Scott.
Seals spend just part of their lives on Antarctica. Several species can be seen, including Fur, Crabeater, Ross and Leopard.

Gibson County – Thursday afternoon, January 3, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Indiana State Police arrested Rebecca Rueger, 51, of Evansville, after a criminal investigation revealed she allegedly embezzled nearly $60,000 while she was employed as the business manager at Transcendent Health Care in Owensville.
Indiana State Police initiated a criminal investigation in June 2012 after administrators at the health care facility noticed funds were missing from their accounts. During the investigation, Detective Tobias Odom revealed Rueger had embezzled nearly $60,000 for her personal use between October 2008 and March 2012. Rueger was arrested at her residence without incident and taken to the Gibson County Jail. She was later released after posting a $2,500 cash bond.

I am intrigued. Why does the open source industry not have 'Visual' products like 'Visual' Basic, 'Visual' C++ or 'Visual' ASP.NET? Why don't we have Visual PHP? or Visual RUBY?
Well first of all, I think Microsoft would have a problem with you naming your IDE "Visual PHP" or "Visual Ruby". But I don't think the question is literally about the naming of the IDE :-)
I think you'll find the reason is that "Visual" designers simply do not work well with HTML. Microsoft themselves have moved away from the "Visual" aspect of ASP.NET with the move to ASP.NET MVC. In fact, with ASP.NET MVC, there's not a lot you'll find in the IDE that you can't also get in Eclipse and other IDEs.
I'm an old guy who remembers. A long time ago, in the dark ages before the world wide web, most development tools were not visual. They were command line tools. You literally had one terminal window, from where you fired up your text editor (e.g. vim or emacs), and edited your software. Then you suspended or exited your editor and ran your compilers and linkers against your software and hoped that it compiled. Then you deployed your software in your test environment and tested it. Even your debuggers would have been line-by-line based.
However in those days, you did not have a multi-window, multi-tab graphical layout. Just command terminals with a shell program.
Then those masterful innovators at IBM and Microsoft came up with development tools which allowed you to have a window with your code open, a set of buttons to run your programs, another set of windows which showed your program step through the code in a debugger, and another window which allowed your tool to watch the transient and persistent data in your program. These tools were labelled Visual Basic, and Visual Age, etc. These tools made programming much more pleasant because you did not have to build and maintain a mental map of how your development environment looked. The tool did it for you.
By the time PHP, Python, C#, and Ruby became popular visual development tools were normal and expected, and so adding "Visual" to the name of your tool set did not confer any differentiating marketing value.
This is the official story. You must remember, however, that visual development tools were invented and pioneered by folks like Alan Kay, Adele Goldberg and Dave Thomas. They delivered visual development environments for a language called Smalltalk about 15 years before the rest of the industry was exposed to visual development tools. Ask any old Smalltalk hacks and they'll tell you that they had features in Smalltalk 20 years before the rest of the industry was exposed.
(Smalltalk failed because it was syntactically too different from the Algol-descended and Modula-descended languages which are most popular in industry, and which most programmers can easily read, such as C, C++, C#, Java, Ada, and Fortran. It also failed because there was no easy way to separate the development tools from the database and the runtime environment, and that made it less useful for deploying in many production environments. However, the brilliant ideas of Smalltalk live on in our modern visual development tools as well as in programming languages such as Ruby and Javascript).
I tried to create a simple visual editor for my Apeel PHP Code Generator as I thought it would be useful to be able to visualy move fields around the page, click on a field and set / edit it's events and properties.
But in the end I gave up because it was a far bigger, more complicated project than I first envisaged! It would take a lot of development man hours to complete such a project and I don't think there is the demand out there to justify it.
In the PHP market place I suspect that most people are happy with a good IDE with integrated debugger and an HTML editor for "visual" editing, i.e. page layout.
Visual Basic and Visual C++ are IDEs from Microsoft for Basic and C++ programming languages.
I guess, if they picked Ruby or PHP, we would have gotten Visual Ruby or Visual PHP indeed.

Recipe by BETH4KIDS
"White bean soup with spinach and leeks is a delicious and filling soup that is perfect for vegetarians if you use vegetable broth, and quick to make. I've been making this soup for years, but I really craved it when I was pregnant with my fourth child."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 teaspoons
olive oil
leeks, bulb only, chopped
2 cloves
garlic, chopped
2 (16 ounce) cans
fat-free chicken broth
2 (16 ounce) cans
cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
bay leaves
2 teaspoons
ground cumin
1/2 cup
whole wheat couscous
2 cups
packed fresh spinach
salt and pepper to taste
Delicious and easy soup. Great for vegetarians, like me, when you use vegetable broth. Two suggestions: If you are a lemon lover like me, squeezing a wedge of lemon into your soup or floating a lemon slice on top a=can make a good thing even better. Also, if you aren't going to use all the soup at once, instead of putting the spinch into the pot with the rest of the soup, just put a portion into the bottom of the bowl and pur your hot soup on top. Spinach cooks pretty well instantly, and you will be saved from having slimy spinch leaves when you reheat the leftovers. Thanks for the great recipe.
Our soup prepared as per recipe was very bland! My wife however rescued it by adding crushed tomatoes and green chili peppers ...one 28oz can of tomatoes and one 4 oz can of green chilies.....that did the trick and we are enjoying the result...now ****

Great recipe! I modified the recipe with one can of beans, a 10 oz package of frozen spinach, and three leeks. Two cans of beans was overwhelming, and I don't usually have fresh spinach on hand. Also, I put everything in a slow cooker on high for about four or five hours and served it with grated Parmesan cheese and a slice of bread.
I've made this soup many times and it always turns out great. I do add an extra can of chicken broth which keeps it from getting too thick.
Wonderful recipe! I went with what was suggested by other reviewers and substituted the cumin for rosemary and thyme and left out the couscous. I also substituted vegetable broth for chicken broth as a personal preference. This has become a quick favorite of mine - cheap, easy, healthy, and vegetarian. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
my husband and i are definitely NOT vegetarians, but we were both sick and i needed to make something out of what i had on hand. we were suprised to find that this soup really hit the spot. we had slices of crusty bread and butter on the side and it was a perfect light dinner. my husband thought it needed more broth because the couscous does soak up some liquid, but i kind of liked it the way it was. i ended up adding more chicken broth for his sake :) also didn't use the whole amount of cumin.
very good. I used rosemary and thyme instead of cumin for a different flavor. I also used the entire leek, not just the bulb.
YUMMY! I messed up and added a BOX of couscous and it turned out like a side dish--a very delicious side dish. Then I added more broth and made it into a soup and it was still good.
I also used frozen spinach and it worked well. Anyone having issues with flavor may be using a poor broth. I use Better Than Bouillon Veggie and it is great

Scholarly and Creative Work
Professor Komjathy has published extensively on Daoism, both in traditional Chinese contexts and in a contemporary global context. He has written seminal articles on Daoism in America as well as one of the definitive studies of early Quanzhen (Complete Perfection) Daoism. He is increasingly focusing on larger comparative, cross-cultural and inter-disciplinary projects. In addition to various peer-reviewed academic articles and book chapters, Professor Komjathy has published five books: Title Index to Daoist Collections (Three Pines Press, 2002), Cultivating Perfection: Mysticism and Self-transformation in Early Quanzhen Daoism (Brill, 2007), Handbooks for Daoist Practice (Yuen Yuen Institute, 2008), The Way of Complete Perfection: A Quanzhen Daoist Anthology (State University of New York Press, 2013), and The Daoist Tradition: An Introduction (Bloomsbury Academic, 2013). His current research projects focus on Daoist meditation and Daoist commentary literature as well as contemplative practice from a comparative perspective. In addition to using historical contextualization, textual study and literary translation as research methodologies, Professor Komjathy has conducted archaeological fieldwork on Shandong Daoism and ethnographic work on contemporary Daoist monasticism, which included living as a participant-observer in a variety of Quanzhen monasteries. This research was supported by a Chiang Ching-kuo Foundation Grant and a visiting professorship at Shandong University.
Teaching Interests
Professor Komjathy teaches introductory courses in Religious Studies and upper-division courses on Daoism, Chinese religions, comparative mysticism, and contemplative traditions. He is particularly interested in the complex interplay among worldviews, practices and experience. Professor Komjathy employs a variety of pedagogical approaches in his classes, including interactive lecturing, peer-directed learning, small group discussion, guest speakers and site visits. He aims to help students understand the context-specific dimensions of religious traditions and larger issues derived from comparative religious studies, including the contemporary context of globalization, multiculturalism, and religious pluralism. He has refined his teaching skills through participation in the Wild Hope Project at Pacific Lutheran University, the Pre-tenure Religion Faculty Workshop at the Wabash Center, and the Ninth Annual Summer Session on Contemplative Pedagogy through the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society.

Tuesday's final day of opening-round action saw Roland meet Sallisaw, while Stigler played Fort Gibson in boys' games. In girls' contests, Howe faced Roland and host Poteau played Fort Gibson.
CAMERON — Thanks to a late fourth-quarter run, the Bokoshe Lady Tigers were able to withstand the upset bid by the Cameron Lady Yellowjacket to post a 42-40 victory Monday night at the Cameron Gym to spoil Cameron's homecoming.
However, the homestanding 'Jackets celebrated homecoming with a 64-24 win over the Tigers.
BATTIEST — The Whitesboro High School basketball teams split their first games back from Thanksgiving Break Monday night with Battiest.
The Lady Bulldogs defeated the Lady Panthers 25-17, but the 'Dogs lost 58-40 to the Panthers.
The Poteau High School basketball teams began their seasons on Tuesday. Now, it's the wrestlers' turn.
The Pirates will begin their 2011-12 season at 7 p.m. Thursday in Glenpool before going to the two-day Jay Border Wars, which will begin at 2 p.m. Friday.
The Oklahoma State University 2011 Christmas Baseball Camps will be next month at Allie P. Reynolds Stadium in Stillwater.

TULSA — On Friday morning, it looked like the only two Conference USA football teams who were undefeated — Houston and Tulsa — would mean a good game. For three quarters, it was.
But the Cougars showed the Golden Hurricane that they're for real and deserving of their Top 10 ranking with a 48-16 victory at Skelly Field at H.A. Chapman Stadium.
I really don't understand why high school girls play fast-pitch softball in the fall and slow-pitch softball in the spring.
I believe it would be to everyone's advantage if they would play fast-pitch softball all year round. Our county is loaded with teams that are very highly regarded, and we had a state champion last fall — the Panama Lady Razorbacks.
Plus, the spring is the time of the year when all the surrounding states play fast-pitch softball — as well as at the collegiate level — and their spring schedule could be a stair step to bigger and better things.

"As a graduate student focusing on greenhouse crop research, I was constantly working with Rob and his greenhouse facilities. You could not ask for a more dedicated and talented staff or a higher-quality greenhouse. There was not a single challenge that we couldn't overcome, and I know that the quality of my research was directly related to that fact."
"The greenhouse facility in the Horticulture Department was a very important component of my Masters research. Rob, Dan and the employees were always willing to give me a hand and making sure I can take advantage of the high tech resources for my experiments. I loved it that any change in the environment (for my greenhouse) can be done from Rob's cellphone."
"The Purdue horticulture greenhouse facilities are outstanding and allowed me to meet all my research needs. Having a multitude of greenhouses, growth chambers, and growth rooms plus tissue culture and potting facilities in one location allows for a wide range of experimentation without subjecting plants to outside stresses. The excellent greenhouse staff worked with me to develop and implement growing protocols that ensured healthy plants and to gather high-quality environmental data."

Ok I got a new drive set up partitions, did bad block check , format and did new installation. I also created a new clonezilla backup. Lets see what happens:silly:
Ok the NVIDIA issue makes sense, my laptop has an NVIDIA card. But I just had another crash after updates were installed on a new 2009.1(Spring) installation. The problem this time is a grub error 17, looking a bit further the boot drive seems to be missing.:blink: I tried to to restore an image I made of my system with clonezilla and it said that it couldn't re-install grub, so I went the 2009.1(Spring) rescue system and tried to re-install grub and got the same error boot drive is missing. So next I went to check the partitions and got an error that partition table was severely corrupted, so I re-created the partitions and tonite I will try to restore my clonzilla image. These are the types of problems I have had with Mandriva. At first I thought it was defective hardware but Fedora, Red Hat, SuSE and CentOS all run fine, and none of the hardware diagnostics I ran found any problems, and this is why I had decided to stop using Mandriva.:dry:
Any suggestions would be much appreciated
I wish i could share your enthusiasm.:dry: Let me start by saying I want use Mandriva as my main distro, I read it the one to use if you want to do developer work and I do. But every time I get it going some recommended update hoses X, kills my user account and leaves my system with a keyboard that only works in the CLI. Also all attempts to run the updates to fix it fail:angry: I use the system for school so every time it fails I fall behind. Guys let me in on the secret to keep it running

I have been making these delicate decorations now for over ten years. I was originally taught how to make them by a very good friend of mine, Glenn Tong. My first encounter with them were by Glenn using them as decorations at a Christmas party my family used to attend every year. I can remember as a small child looking up in wonder of his marvelous creations: dancing pigs, the Eiffel tower, and lobsters. Since he has taught me making them has sort of become a tradition. Some designs come back every year, others last only once. Either way, each one is the continuation of a a tradition, and has sacred happy memories attached.
Each of the snow flakes shown below will be detailed in the examples section
I've created a flickr group for you to showcase the snowflakes you've made. The group is called 'The Great Paper Snowflake Group', its URL is http://www.flickr.com/groups/928430@N20/
Can't wait to see what you've made!
Step 1: Materials Needed
A Writing Utensil
Good Scissors
A Piece of Paper (see below)
A note on paper: In all the years I have been making these snow flakes my paper of choice has always been everyday printer paper. It is pretty strong, has a great color for snow flakes (white!) and is cheap and easy to find. I've tried other papers, but always come back to the old stand by.
Try it! You will never go back to old scissors when cutting out complicated snow flakes.
Nice early pope's nose!
One question - Do you always use scissors? One big problem that I ran into was not being able to close spaces because there was no way to get in with the scissors to get out the middle (big problem with making letters...). How do you get around this? I'll post pictures soon.
it is the 23rd
i am going to make six
and put them on a board
and they will each have one word
and it will end out saying
"mom brings joy to the world"
now to get to work
fortunatly i have already made a bunch of my own
so i am in practice
Merry Christmas.
I would give them 6 stars if I could.
Faved for sure
I'm pretty sure someone started a flickr group
I made SEVEN. :D
Thank you so much for this!
I am going to make a ton for my family and my English Class. :D
If you could only see how many failed snow flake I produced . . . monuments to learning.
Also note that designs on the other side of the mirrored edge will be reversed, as though viewed in a mirror.
Have you got any new examples for this christmas :)
I'll try to post my new flakes to the flickr group which you can get to by clicking: www.flickr.com/groups/928430@N20/
Also, PLEASE post your own snowflakes too!
Again, thank you.

The Butterfly (Le papillon)
'The Butterfly' is the story of eight-year-old Elsa and her mom Isabelle, who move in next to Julien, an ornery old entomologist with a lavish butterfly collection in his apartment. Her mother is hardly ever home, and Elsa soon grows attached to her neighbor. When Julien sets out on a weeklong hike in search of a rare and beautiful butterfly, Elsa hides herself in his car. Although Julien doesn't want Elsa and her constant questions around, he begrudgingly accepts the situation and allows her to tag along with him on his expedition to the Alps, where she learns many things about the natural and the human world.
