|This Is A Good Time To Buy Winter Gear On Sale
Vermont's Tubbs Snow Shoes
I just received an email from my friends at Umiak Outfitters in Stowe VT that they are having their annual 30% off sale on skis, boots, snowshoes (20% on Tubbs brand) and sleds this weekend.
In addition, Umiak has a online retail store page with discounted prices plus a clearance sale page on their website you might be interested in if you can't make it to their sale.
In fact, in your travel to Vermont over the next few weeks, it's a good idea to drop into the local ski shops and outdoor outfitters to see what they have on sale. Most of these shops have their summer gear on order and their new stuff is already starting to arrive.

Green Mountain Hooked Rugs in Montpelier offers classes several times a year but they have one big school event that takes place every summer. The school was founded in 1981 by the mother of the current owner and classes have been offered every year since then.
This year's 27th Annual Hooked Rug School will be held June 615, 2008. There will be one five-day and two weekend sessions with a total of 23 classes. Class size is limited to about a dozen students so now is the time to look over the course outline and decide whether to attend.
From the Green Mountain Hooked Rugs web site: "Classes range from beginning hooking, dyeing, fine hooking tapestry to primitives and wide-cuts, pictorials, folk art, punch needle, penny rugs, braiding and more. Students select one class per session.
"Teachers hail from all over the United States and Canada. Rug exhibits and a well-stocked rug shop are open daily. "
Green Mountain Hooked Rugs has a shop that is open year around at 2838 County Road, Montpelier VT.

|VT: What Happens Here, Stays Here. But . . .
I found this Vermont Sweatshirt on Shawn's Blog. It does not say where he found it. There is a good local store called Rocking R that sells souvenir T-shirts and other clothing so I may take a look to see if they have this item.
I suppose this is the kind of image you have when you're a small, rural state. In reality, there are tons of things to do here, especially in outdoor recreation, dining, the arts, and shopping. It's enough to make someone think about writing a blog on what travelers to Vermont can find here.

Are eidim considered lawyers?

Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
No, eidim are witnesses, not lawyers. Their function is to give testimony as to what they observed, not to serve as a partisan defender of one side or another.
Nevertheless, in a criminal case it might be argued that the eidim who witnessed the crime are effectively the prosecutors, but I think it is more accurate to simply call them accusers.

Have you ever wondered why we only use 10% of our brains?
There was a time we used 100% of our intellect. This was when we were hooked up, or plugged in like a lamp into an electrical socket, into God. Like a golden umbilical chord provides nourishment between an unborn baby and its mother, we were sustained body, soul and spirit.
Because we weren't created to be robots, but rather intelligent creatures with free choice, the first humans created by this Magnificent Higher Power chose to turn away to do their own thing. A death curse entered the universe.
The life-giving umbilical chord between God and man was broken. The light in us became darkness. Disconnected, we explored the universe. Like a huge playground, we received the opportunity to live out our existence here on earth by our own dictates. Death, disease, and suffering entered.
A man named Abraham searched for the real God with all his heart. As a result, God promised to send a rescuer so we could be delivered from the darkness in us, to bring back the light. Over four hundred years later, Moses came to deliver a perfect law to show us how far we've moved from God, that we can never arrive at perfection by our own efforts. He also showed us how the blood of a perfect unblemished animal, sacrificed by a person with a pure seeking heart, could wash the death curse away temporarily.
One day a young innocent girl, a virgin named Mary, had an angelic visitation. She was told of being visited by God, of being impregnated with His Son. From there, the mystery of the ages began to reveal itself as prophecy after prophecy from the Old Testament about this coming Rescuer/Illuminator sent from God was fulfilled. The Child, Jesus, was born. (Isaiah 9:6,7 in the Old Testament)
Raised by Mary and Joseph, He grew to be a man and began telling people about a coming New Kingdom. Because Jesus' nature was of divine origin, He escaped the corruption and depravity that the Earth. He lived a perfect life, helped many find God, and then chose to pay the terrible penalty of death that mankind deserved for turning away from God. He died a gruesome punishment nailed to a tree, as an innocent man, to restore for us what we could never accomplish on our own. (1 Peter 3:18)
In Ephesians 2:8, and 9, the Bible explains it simply. Like an unearned gift unwrapped at Christmas, we must simply accept without trying to earn it. Then, we must turn away from our own way of doing things, and together with our new Father, learn new ways. The Bible is the roadmap of life, supplying all the direction we need.
Mankind was once a team, with God, and each other. God, in Jesus, has restored that reality. All you have to do is take the first step. Ask, receive, and walk with God.

The ASPCA launched our Emergency Boarding Facility to help keep families together after Sandy. Just a few days into the operation, the first animal has gone home!
Beautiful was housed in our boarding facility until her family could find a place to stay. And though we worked to make sure she was as comfortable as possible, we knew she really missed her family.
When Beautiful's people walked in the door to pick her up and take her home, she nearly exploded with excitement—and so did her people!
This sweet homecoming came just in time for Thanksgiving, and we hope it's just the first of many to come. Watch ASPCA.org for updates.

Must see animated short by MAKE of Minneapolis
MAKE is a great studio. The more I see of their work, the more impressed I am with what they do.
Here's a promotional film they created for this year's Palm Springs ShortFest which gets started this coming June 22. It's an outstanding job.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to find it on YouTube, but when it's up there you can bet we'll be embedding it here. Meantime, follow this link and check out what I'm talking about:
Re: Must see animated short by MAKE of Minneapolis
Putting up graphics is a cinch with the new forums, so let's showcase some of the stills associated with MAKE's animated short. If you click on one of the images it'll be resized and you can enjoy the graphics as a slideshow.
Re: Must see animated short by MAKE of Minneapolis
More stills that were sent to us by MAKE to share with the community.
Re: Must see animated short by MAKE of Minneapolis
Holy smokes, some of those designs are amongst the most solidly drawn characters I've seen in awhile: I hope they hold up in animation. Really digging the solidity of the design of the detective; there's something particularly neat about how the line of the ear dives straight into his cheekbones.
Let it be said that MAKE has quietly been churning out one the more widely varied bodies of work over the last 2-3 years. Great stuff out of Minnesota!

mild Cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
1 (8 ounce) package
sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
3/4 cup
sour cream
3/4 cup
cottage cheese
salt and ground black pepper to taste
I added a few spices to make it a little more personal to our family (onion powder, garlic powder, little dijon mustard, little Frank's Hot Sauce, fresh ground pepper) but other than that, I kept to the recipe. I did not try this myself but I was told by my husband that the kids really liked it. They both had seconds. My husband said it was good but a little thick for him.
it was thick and creamy, very good, but I prefer a stronger flavor
10 Ratings
I loved how easy this was. My daughter and husband loved it. It turned out creamy and yummy. They don't like cottage cheese, so I substituted plain yogurt. I really liked the fact that I didn't have to use flour and butter to make a roux. Not having to do that step saved me time in the kitchen. Great recipe! I will definitely make this again!
You dont actually need 2 bags of mild cheddar cheese, comes out fine! Delicious!
Usually I make mac & cheese using a roux and then adding the cheese to that before mixing in with the macaroni. This recipe caught my eye because it is different and easier in that it isn't necessary to cook the sauce. Also, I had a container of sour cream that needed to be used. So, it was the perfect recipe. We loved this -- I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised the way it turned out as I was sceptical of no roux/cheese sauce. I followed the recipe for the most part, although I sautéed diced onion and a red bell pepper, also diced, to add to the mixture. I had some tomatoes that needed to be used so I chopped those roughly and included them (peeled them first). I did not have cottage cheese so I used plain yoghurt as another person did. We loved the flavour of the sour cream and yoghurt. It gave it a very subtle tang, not overpowering, but just so that you were like, mmmm, what is this I'm tasting? Very, very good. I used about the amount of cheese called for, maybe a little more. I did sprinkle some on top as called for in the recipe. I also sprinkled paprika all over the top. Not only did the dish taste really good, it looked terrific when I took it out of the oven. Because I made it ahead and had it in the refrigerator, before I put it in the oven, I put about a half a cup or more of milk in. I just poured some slowly over the top of the casserole. It worked perfectly and the macaroni and cheese was moist, not dry at all. Recommend this.
This was really good stuff. Very very rich, however, so don't think you'll be able to eat a ton of this at one sitting. (Which is really good because as good as it is just from the oven, it's BETTER the next day.) Anyway, I made a half recipe, using GF pasta (Tinkyada penne since that's what I had). I subbed ricotta for the cottage cheese (what I had.) Used to much ricotta, but had already added half the sour cream. Used a whole egg (not half.) It worked fine! Then, for the cheese, I used a scale and started with 1/2 cup grated parmesan then added a mexican mix to the 16 oz mark (then removed about 1/2+ cup mexican mix for the topping.) I had to mix this with my hands, it was so thick! Then, putting the pasta in was difficult. However, SO WORTH IT. Very forgiving recipe, as you can see. I'll definitely make it again.
Just kinda plain.
This dish was very easy to make and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I did add a little bit of half and half because the cheese mixture is very thick. Turned out great though.

For a few decades the
So by 1965 I had done the Column, and had a great time on it as a 17-year old. The historic aspects of the climb were thrilling to experience for a young aspirant. There really weren't traces of prior climbers on the route--- except for some unusually cleaned out cracks. But very oddly the only fixed point on the whole route was one soft iron vertical piton pounded into a root, freakishly bent over on it, high up in the decomposing second pitch (p8) of the Great Chimney. At this point the once noble polished chimney has deteriorated into a large gross seam with all the inner stone guts having fallen out of it, revealing tree roots that had grown in the cracks of that mess, forcing the blocks out into the void who knows how long ago, and so forming a shallow granular chimney with some danger to it. Some of the roots thus revealed were kind of square and flat from growing and forcing their way through these fissures now long gone. And perhaps on the first ascent, this pin had been driven desperately into a root to provide the only protection in many feet in the rotting mess. And as time went by, this root got weaker and weaker and although used as a handhold by hundreds of parties, the poor thing was ready to give up when in the early 70's I was up there again, unroped, alone and flashing through on my way to summit North Dome as well one spring.
So of course I tore that thing right out of there, throwing it down the Great Chimney, which about 200 feet below, had this nice sand floor and alcove at its base. I thought it was just dangerous and a scary nuisance to lesser climbers who I imagined would be freaking out in this rubbishy upper section, feeling they needed to have at least something to pull on, only to have it break off. I rushed on towards the wonderful open South Face route of the dome above, a crazed young athlete craving many things, forgetting all about this root.
But Royal was up to the same thing, soloing the Column and North Dome on a regular basis and it turned out that in '75, he and I actually unroped this together, including the variation of Charley Brown Chimney, pushing the route to 5.8 and went on to North Dome as well. But I also worked for RR at times a few years earlier, when he would receive big containers of climbing equipment from
One week I arrived, and in the living room was the root with the flatten piton in it, resting on the mantel. RR had clipped it on to his sling not long after I had brusquely thrown it away, both of us on crazy unroped outings, unbeknownst to anyone. It had been waiting in the sandy alcove for Royal's keener sense of its meaning. He even doubted my story of throwing it away, probably because it seemed too coincidental or perhaps he thought I would hungrily, pretentiously, lay claim to it or worse, try to insinuate some personal importance in this little piece of history now enshrined in his house, the father of modern American rockclimbing.
But shifting his approach quickly, he went on to say that Chouinard had been collecting all kinds of historic items for years. He remembered observing this in Yvon and originally thought it was petty. But he soon realized the provenance and joy of these things and began another hobby. So I kicked myself mentally, understanding too how wonderful the old squarish root really was, with this thirty-year-old piton flatten on it. I saw in the living room, how much it told, how much it meant to those of us who had climbed past it for decades, and that it was of a time when such things were done in the dawn of our history. And I also quietly played a cinema to myself of Royal dragging this oddly shaped root clipped to him, all the way up the rest of the climb, through the forest, and then much further, up the South Face of North Dome, rounding the spectacular arch and reachy stretch, unroped with this wierdosity hanging off him, totally committed to bringing it back to the Central Valley and his living room, his home, his friends. And how I had not been in that movie.

Brain Makerwith David Perlmutter, MD | Saturday, 9 p.m.
Debilitating brain disorders are on the rise – from children diagnosed with autism and ADHD to adults developing dementia at younger ages than ever before. But a medical revolution is underway that can solve this problem: Astonishing new research is revealing that the health of your brain is, to an extraordinary degree, dictated by the state of your microbiome – the vast population of organisms that live in your body and out -number your own cells ten to one. What's taking place in your intestines today is determining your risk for any number of brain-related conditions.
Fresh off his huge public television pledge blockbuster, BrainChange, first released in December 2013, Dr. Perlmutter explains in Brain Maker the potent interplay between intestinal microbes and the brain, describing how the microbiome develops from birth and evolves based on lifestyle choices, how it can become "sick," and how nurturing gut health through a few easy strategies can alter your brain's destiny for the better. With simple dietary recommendations and a highly practical program of five steps to improving gut ecology, Brain Maker opens the door to unprecedented brain health potential.

Effortless Healingwith Dr. Joseph Mercola | Saturday, 11 a.m.
A well-known physician, Dr Mercola's website is one of the most visited natural-health sites in the world – a site dedicated to educating readers about ways to improve their health.
He is one of the world's leading advocates for using food as medicine. In this program he helps people struggling with their weight and chronic conditions to make the connection to their food and lifestyle choices.
He's an educator committed to teaching people how to cultivate their own power to heal. He believes the body is designed to be healthy without drugs, and in giving it what it needs to thrive, so it can regenerate itself without any outside interventions. This innate restorative tendency is what he calls "effortless healing."
Rather than suggesting people rely on expensive and potentially dangerous drugs Dr. Mercola empowers people to become their own healers and helps viewers understand how they can effortlessly modify their diet to achieve their health goals.
He covers the impact of gluten and sugar on the body, the benefits of intermittent fasting and exercise, and provides Effortless Healing Action plans throughout. He clearly outlines changes viewers can make in their lives, from eliminating certain foods to adding others, and illustrates the changes that could result.
He puts forward principles of healing to arm viewers with information to choose more skillfully what and when to eat, what to drink, how and how often to move, and how to remove the roadblocks to wellness – such as subpar food and contaminated beverages – so that their body can do what it was designed to do effortlessly: stay well.

Kate Pleasant - Producer/Director
When Did You Start at WEIU? Summer 2007
What Does WEIU Mean to You? WEIU means a safe, family-friendly entertainment and learning source.
Favorite Show on WEIU: I have a 2-year-old, so we're really getting into Super Why and Word World. My personal favorite is a lot of our local programming because it really connects me to our community. On the national side, I'm starting to get into Downton Abbey!
What have you learned while working at WEIU?: What haven't I learned!? WEIU has taught me about valuing my community. WEIU has taken me places I never thought I would go (like an underground river for Heartland Highways). I have learned that not only is WEIU great, quality programming, but the people behind it really believe in the mission too.
Why should someone become a member of WEIU? Everyone should become a member of WEIU. I'm a member. If you value educational programming, information straight from your own backyard, and family-friendly TV, then WEIU is for you. You should know, too, that everyone behind the scenes here at the station really believes in what we do too. For us, it's personal. We're a family and we're always looking to expand, so come be a part of our story!
Is WEIU as important to you as it is to Kate? Become a member today! Also, send us a message and let us know what WEIU means to you!
We love to hear from you!
I support WEIU because I know that at any time, day or night we can tune in and we can count on good, quality entertainment and good wholesome programming made available to us. WEIU is what I consider to be a family friendly television station because I know that if my children or grandchildren are visiting and they enter the room where I'm watching TV, I don't have to worry about anything inappropriate being on my TV screen. I know that I can trust WEIU and I love that!

The daily adventures of a mom of 12 who loves to run and is training hard to see just how good I can be.

Boston Bound!
I rolled out of bed at 2:30am, was out the door for my easy paced five-mile run at 3:20am, was back in the door at 4:01am, was in the shower at 4:26am and was loaded in the van and on the road at 5:37am. And in there, Noah woke up throwing up and with a leaking feeding pump, so there was some serious (unplanned) clean up to do. (Noah is ok - he just catches every SINGLE germ in the universe, and since he can't swallow well, even a small cold and a little congestion gives him a very hard time and he does a lot of coughing/choking/gagging/throwing up).
Josh and Noah drove me to the airport (and Noah did great the whole way. Yay!) and the rest of the kids went to school as usual. We were cutting it close getting to the airport in time so I didn't get a very good "goodbye" with Josh. I miss him like crazy already and so wish he was coming with me this weekend. Here is a pic he snapped as I jumped out of the van this morning -
Now I am settled in my seat on the flight to Boston.
Funny thing - I walked on to the plane and within 30 seconds a guy pointed me out and recognized me from the Runner's World article. I didn't expect that at all. Crazy!
Anyway -
If you are running Boston or paying any attention to the news surrounding the Boston Marathon, you have heard that as of right now, they are predicting that it is going to be HOT on Monday. Temps in the 80's hot. 50 degrees warmer than anything I have run in for months and months and months hot.
Being honest, a warm day is the worst possible scenario for me. I have always been a "heat wimp", with running and just in general. Give me the cold. Give me the snow. Give me rain. I got my first sub 3:30 marathon in freezing rain and hail. I can handle cold and wet. But sun and heat? No thanks!
BUT, I am feeling calm about it. I am not getting over-stressed. I am not forfeiting my goals. I will control the things I can control, not freak out about the things I can't control, and will run the best race I can run under the conditions I have on Monday. I think the fact that I am staying calm and confident despite the current weather forecast says a lot about how far I have come with my mental game and my ability to believe in myself.
I have set my goal for this race to run a sub 3:15. I know some runners don't like to say what their goals are or put them "out there" because they worry about looking bad or feeling bad if everyone knows their goal and then they don't make it. I don't feel that way. I am happy to say what my goal is, and I like to aim high proudly, no matter the outcome. If I set a goal and make it, then great! (And I savor it for a short period of time and then quickly set a new goal).
If I set a goal and don't make it, then I just keep going after it until I achieve it. I don't think there is any shame in that, and I hope that I am setting a good example for my kids. I hope they always set big goals, keep going after them until they reach them, and aren't deterred if they don't reach them the first (or second, or third, etc.) try. I love this quote -
"You have not failed until you quit trying."- Gordon B. Hinckley
There are never any guarantees on race day, but I am in shape and very ready to run a 3:15 or better. I did not miss a single day of this training period to injury, illness, excuses, or anything else. I ran a ton of miles. I had several 85 mile weeks and loved them. I hit every SINGLE workout goal. I didn't miss a mile of a long run. I hit all of my paces on long runs, tempo runs, track workouts, etc. I ran a lot of hills. I put in all of the work. I did not cut any corners. Best of all, my body feels awesome right now. I'll be darned if I am going to let some freakishly warm weather throw that all out the window. :)
So my plan is to go out on Monday morning and get my sub 3:15.
If the heat is all that they are saying it might be and my body doesn't handle it well and I don't hit my goal, I will run the best race I can run under the conditions and be proud of doing that. I will let myself be disappointed for a bit, and then I will look ahead to achieving my goal in my next race (the Utah Valley Marathon on June 9).
That said, I have a really good feeling about this race, no matter what the weathermen are saying. Josh told me that "I have it in me" and that is the thought (and his voice) I am going to hold on to if the going gets rough. I am ready. :)
Now I just have to make it through a few more hours of this flight (I am SO not a fan of sitting still), and then I get to see my parents, see friends, and experience all that is the Boston Marathon weekend. Yay!
And of course, all of the above said, I will be sending up prayers for an unexpected cold front to move in to the Boston area for Monday. :)
If you want to track me during the marathon my number is -
More soon from Boston!

Wishing you a major cold front! Perfect attitude to have though. I'm, what, two hours ahead of you and you were in the shower before I pulled myself out of bed this morning...you don't play, do you? When you set your mind to something it gets DONE!

I am so excited for everyone who will be running on Monday. I ran in 2005 and it was 75 degrees at the start with a warm wind. I don't do great in the heat, but I still loved every second of the experience. There will be lots of people in between the aid stations who will have food, drink, etc. The best trick I found was to take ice whenever it was offered and rub it on my face and arms and then stick it in my tank top. It really helped to keep me ool. Good luck, I'm sure you will do great!

I was a little concerned when I heard the forecast, knowing what you have said about heat. I am keeping you in my prayers, that all of your extremely hard work pays off! Most of all, have fun! RUN, ERIN, RUN!!! : )
- April 13, 2012 at 11:45 AM
I am so glad to hear you say these words! I have been worried about the "what ifs" and didn't want you to feel horrible if your goal was not met, or think that anyone would be "disappointed" in you..far from it! What a healthy outlook you have!
And I'm with you on running in the heat. Cannot.tolerate it. (Living in Az is the wrong state for me having this issue!!)
Best of luck! cannot wait to hear all of your updates! I am most excited about your race report over anyone else I know, and I don't even "know" you! ;0
Enjoy the journey!

Go Erin! So excited for you! I really hope it's not that hot for you - but if it is - well, enjoy the race anyway! I won't say good luck because I'm not sure it's luck (maybe with the weather - good luck with the weather!) and I don't want to diminish the hard, hard work you have put into this race, so may all your hard work come together for a perfect race for you!

I really love your attitude about goal setting. We share a lot of the same views. I've had the goal of Sub 3 for a few years now, and haven't been able to meet it. However, I feel no shame about publisizing this goal. To me, it's a HARD goal, but one that I will achieve at some point. Your quote hit the nail on the head, you only fail when you give up. Some things take time... kind of like relationships. :)
I'm proud to call you my Brooks Sister. As a runner and a mother, you are inspiring. I will be with you and all the Brooks peeps on Monday in spirit. I'll be sending many Run Happy vibes as I teach reading. :) Go get 'em!!!!!

- April 13, 2012 at 11:06 PM
I really enjoyed reading the article about you in RW this month and just happened to stumble across your blog today. I love your attitude about goal setting and I think you are a great role model to your children, and fellow runners like myself. I only started distance running last year, but your story inspires me. I will be running my first marathon in 35 days (who's counting?) and training has been going well. I hope to BQ someday! Best of luck to you this weekend. Your self confidence and attitude are worth more than some extra degrees on the thermometer :)

You've done all the hard work, and done it well, so relax now, no need to get uptight at all. Rely on the training effect to pull you through to that sub 3.15. Just go out there and enjoy the experience. We're all behind you.
Good luck.

Great attitude about the possible heat. I am the same way you are about running in the heat. I believe you are still going to hit that goal, heat be darned! Best of luck to you.

I will be thinking of you all day tomorrow (I have to find out the time difference Europe X Boston yet).

The Competencies and Limitations of Science
Science provides humans with a powerful way of understanding creation and harnessing it for the common good.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Science provides humans with a powerful way of understanding creation and harnessing it for the common good.
This series features the plenary lectures from the Evolution and Christian Faith conference in Grand Rapids, MI, held from June 20 to July 2, 2015.
Being involved in science is a natural outflow of our own human natures and God-given intellect, and Christians in the sciences can be a witness to the world around them.
Rather than the image of God as engineer or software designer, I prefer the image of God as slow and steady artist, weaving a tapestry of great beauty in all creatures great and small.
"In fostering such dialogue between theologians and scientists who are Christians, BioLogos is forging a middle ground between presentations of science that are antagonistic towards faith and faith that will not accommodate science." -Joshua Swamidass
The history of interpretation of Adam from Genesis to the 1st Century reveals a bold and astonishing diversity in which the authors made of Adam what they needed of Adam.
Everything changed for me when I learned to acknowledge that I was made in the image of Jesus, who was theology and biology integrated.
Being a scientist in the Christian community, now that's a little difficult at times. Many Christians have stubbornly resisted understanding the vastness of God's creation in time and space.
I think the deepest question is "chance vs. necessity" in the origin of life. Not so much whether life was bound to occur...but more the question, "given that life started, was it destined to look the way we find it?"
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
From geology to biology to research into the origin of life itself, the power of water shows the faithfulness and creativity of our Creator.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
Evolution is a challenging subject to consider in light of biblical faith, so it is often easier to ignore or reject it than to engage in meaningful discussion about the topic. Yet considering evolutionary creation has important benefits for Christians both in our relationship with the Creator, and in our relationships with other people—both believers and non-believers.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
In both form and content, then, Genesis 1 reveals that its basic purposes are religious and theological, not scientific or historical.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
We as Christians cannot claim that the world belongs to God and at the same time distrust the systematic study of it.

The Top 10 Indie Songs of 2013 So Far
The Top 10 Indie Songs of 2013 So Far
Only four months into 2013, we've already seen a ton of new talent step onto the proving grounds and emerge victorious. It doesn't always take a huge label to make huge waves, indie music is as healthy as ever and we've got the jams to prove it. Whether it's prime-time festival anthems, dance floor bangers, heartfelt ballads, or R&B burners, these artists put out some of the best music of the year on their own. Here are the Top 10 Indie Songs of 2013 So Far.
1. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, "Thrift Shop," ft. Wanz
It feels like these guys came out of nowhere. In reality, they all came from Seattle. Fun fact: Wanz—the deep voice in the song's hook—was a full-time software engineer before he got in the studio with Macklemore and Lewis to record "Thrift Shop." Hopefully he can quit his day job now. The single's fat instrumental and sexy hook are sprinkled with Macklemore's goofy grandpa swag for a total chart takeover. Let's pop some tags.
2. Portugal. The Man, "Purple Yellow Red and Blue"
Portugal. The Man is a breath of fresh, dance-fueled air in the indie music world this year. "Purple Yellow Red and Blue," is a dreamy soundscape perfect for early morning bliss or pre-evening parties. Catch them on tour this summer, bringing their Portland flavor to venues across the U.S.
3. Youth Lagoon, "Dropla"
Idaho-based bedroom pop producer Trevor Powers speaks softly and carries a loud synth. "Dropla" rides on irresistibly simple songwriting and a ghostly, lo-fidelity style that makes the song both uplifting and totally creepy at the same time. Is it dream pop or nightmare ballads? You decide.
4. Foxygen, "San Francisco"
This playful indie rock outfit channels the happy-go-lucky innocence of '60s pop with a video that looks like a Wes Anderson flick. They're into xylophones, Mick Jagger and not taking themselves too seriously. Check out the video for Foxygen's, "San Francisco," here.
5. Kate Nash, "3AM"
Nobody looks good at three in the morning inhaling a pint of ice cream in bed with their mascara dripping. That is, except for Kate Nash. The English indie popstress takes on post-breakup angst with this jumpy and surprisingly upbeat new single "3AM" off her 2013 album, Girl Talk.
6. Autre Ne Veut, "Play by Play"
This isn't your older cousin's emo. Brooklyn-based Arthur Ashin croons like Usher with an art school degree, writing refreshingly earnest R&B hooks and wrapping them in synths so deep you could get lost in them. His new album, Anxiety, keeps the soulful, '80s-inspired space ballads flowing, so have the tissues handy for when things get a little emotional.
7. Savages, "Shut Up"
This all female punk four-piece wants you to quiet down and pay attention. "Shut Up" is a fierce and intelligent protest song against constant connection in the digital age, and they don't mince words: "If the world would shut up even for a while, perhaps we would start hearing the distant rhythm of an angry young tune." Go ahead, get angry.
8. Baths, "Miasma Sky"
Fresh off of a tour with indie pop princes The Postal Service, LA-based 21-year-old producer Baths dropped this feel good, disco-infused anthem. If you were lucky enough to spend the weekend at Coachella, you probably caught one or two DJs rinsing this jam for the daytime crowd.
9. Disclosure, "White Noise"
It's a British invasion! These baby-faced newcomers are leading the diva-house revival and storming the charts in the process. Luckily, the duo never stops touring these days, and they play live instruments on stage, meaning you won't have to watch another DJ stare at a laptop for two hours. Not that we don't love our DJs, but a little band magic is a welcome addition to the mix. Watch the video for "White Noise," ft. Aluna George.
10. Foals, "Inhaler"
"Inhaler" is exactly what you want to hear as the sun sets over a giant outdoor festival in the desert. This psychedelic crowd pleaser burns slow and builds until it explodes in a cacophony of reverb and crunchy guitar. Imagine a crowd that's 5,000 deep all losing their minds at the same time and you're starting to get it.

Nike 20XI- Is RZN Revolutionary?
Pros: This ball is long- Stupid Long
Cons: Doesn't stop as well as the ProV1 on fast greens, Durability is below average for a premium ball
Last month I was lucky enough to receive a dozen of Nikes 2012 version of the 20XI with the purchase of some new clubs (I begged to have them thrown in), and just recently started playing them (I had to wait to finish my opened box of 2011 ProV1's, I am a bit OCD like that).
My first impression of the ball is that it is long. Right away, from my first swing, on the first hole of my home course, I gained ~15 yards at the tee, putting me in great scoring position on what can be a difficult and hairy par 5 if your drive comes up short. Thats a ton of distance to a guy like myself who averages only 265 off the tee (GPS measured) with a good, 85% power controlled swing. So to see ~280 yards showing on my Skycaddie with every good drive was nothing short of incredible. Im not one to believe marketing hype, but this time, the proof was there for me to see. Never before have I seen a ball give me these kind of results.
First off, this ball has plenty of spin, so dont shy away from it on that account. I will say that I find the ProV1 to stop a bit quicker on fast greens, but have no complaints at all with the 20XI. Of course this is all personal opinion, as I dont own a launch monitor to tell me how much backspin I put on the ball. But I know when I hit it well, and I know how the ProV1 behaves. There isnt a ton of difference, and in the case of very large greens, I actually prefer the 20XI, because its spin on the green gives me more options for where to put it. I know if my shot is good, I can overshoot the pin by 3 or 4 yards, and it will back up closer to the hole, barring steep slopes.
For me this is a non issue. If a ball makes it 18 holes, it becomes relegated to 'practice'. But I will say the 20XI was more beat up from wedge shots than similar offerings from titleist. While it is more Durable than the Taylor Made Pentas I played last year. I just finished my second sleeve of the 20XI, and they consistently last 18 holes, or ~80 strokes. I found the ProV1 to be in better shape, even after a bad 90+ round than the 20XI's were at 80 shots. If your a stickler for durability, this is not the ball for you. But if you dont expect more than a single round out of your balls, then the 20XI is a wonderful ball.
I am halfway through my box of Nike 20XI's, and I am extremely happy with the ball. I currently have a backlog of ProV1's (6 boxes), so it may be a while before I switch permanently, but this is definitely my ball of choice as of right now.
I would recommend these balls to any serious player, which is surprising to me, because I did not like ANY of Nikes previous offerings. If you lose a lot of balls, or are looking for a more economic choice, this isn't quite the one for you. But if you lose very few balls, and want premium performance, I would certainly put my stamp of approval on the 20XI. I found it to be wonderful in all areas that were important to me, and played some of my best golf with this ball. I had a difficult time getting yardages down, with a new ball as well as new Irons, but once I did I gained a lot of confidence when playing with this.
Overall: 4.5/5

The way you start out (pay by the piece, your own shop) sounds like contractor/1099 stuff to me. They arent supplying any tools, electricity, consumables, etc. Who is going to buy the material? Are you going to do work for other customers at the same time/location?
I agree that a consultation with your insurance company and lawyer are in order. You DONT want to find out youre an employee after a couple of years of thinking youre a contractor. IRS types a good at twisting things to get YOU in trouble. Thats their job after all.Who do you call when the lawmakers ignore the law?

Just to clarify that last post.
For several years I thought I was "leased" to a trucking company. For some reason some expenses came into question and I contacted my lawyer and he said "you cant do that". Now this is what had been going on for years. Why does it suddenly change when Im doing the same thing he(my "employer") had been doing. Now I find out that this is a broker agreement and Im not leased/insured/represented by that company at all. The result was that my house has a $15,000 tax lien and the IRS is confiscating 100% of my income from some other brokers. As you know you cant make a living if you spend $500 on fuel to transport a product then lose the entire amount of compensation you buy that fuel with.
Check ALL your avenues with this.Who do you call when the lawmakers ignore the law?

Thanks all. I am going to contact a lawyer. It's gonna be a chunk of change but I want to know in the future. Also, if it is a subcontractor position I want to learn about setting my business up for future work as well. I guess I have some decision making to do. Dave
Contact a CPA that is familiar with Small Business- cheaper than a Lawyer.
A phone call is free to the CPA and Insurance agent -- preferably get some references.
They will (should) know the Tax laws and will be able to help you with what you can and can not deduct as well as what is the best way to set up your company e.g. sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, and S corporation, LLC. and what each of these offers.
Contact an Insurance agent for your Insurance needs.
have fun reading

A. You can do piece work and still be considered an employee. It's very common in certain industries. So, for now, it's better for you that they want to treat you as an employee. Saves you all the payroll, social sec, etc. hassles.
B. Since they want you to work at home using your own tools, better make sure that your homeowners, liability and fire insurance covers work-related activities in your home. You might want to factor that cost in when you figure out how much they're actually paying you.
C. Despite what people tell you, you are always liable for your own negligence -- even when you work for somebody else. As a matter of course, they'll sue both the company and you in a law suit. So make sure that you're covered by the company's E&O insurance.
D. Good CPAs aren't any cheaper than good attorneys. You might as well check with both. Better to be safe than sorry. An employment attorney to review your employment arrangement to make sure that you are an employee and that your butt is securely covered. And a CPA to advise you about how to make sure you act like an employee and not an independent contractor, and how to take full advantage of those "home office" tax deductions.
E. If you decide later that you want to set up your own company, make sure you talk to a CPA and business attorney about which form of business entity would work best for your situation. Make sure you follow what they tell you. Nothing more wasteful than shelling out a lot of money to experts and not following their advice.
I just happened to see the following news article in the local "fish wrap", and thought of this thread. This is an example of how screwed up things can get if not done right.
A federal jury has convicted a 59-year-old Livingston man for failure to pay more than $500,000 in federal taxes on the wages of nurses in his employ, according to the U.S. District Attorney for the District of Minnesota.
Francis Leroy McLain, owner of a nursing professionals company, was found guilty on nine counts of failure to account for and pay employment taxes.
McLain was indicted on Jan. 8. His trial this month in St. Paul, Minn., lasted nine days and the jury deliberated for three hours before issuing its verdict on Nov. 17, according to a release from the U.S. attorneys office.
McLain will be sentenced at a future date.
According to the indictment, McLain failed to pay the Internal Revenue Service federal income taxes on wages earned by employees of Kirpal Nurses, which did business as Kind Hearts, based in Minneapolis, Minn. He also failed to pay the employees share of Federal insurance Contribution Act taxes
The criminal conduct spanned nine calendar quarters, or just over two years, according to the release.
Kind Hearts supplied nurses and other nursing professionals to various health-care facilities on a temporary basis, according to the release.
Prior to starting Kirpal Nurses, McLain owned and operated several other temporary nursing services, including Lifelines Care, In., Lifelines Cooperative Care, Inc. and Cooperative Nurses, Inc.
In 1995, McLain sued the United States in civil court, claiming that the nursing professionals who worked for him were independent contractors rather than employees and, therefore, he was not required to pay employment taxes, according to the release.
The federal government disagreed and countersued.
Those suits were settled in 1998. As part of that settlement, McLain agreed to withhold and pay employment taxes for nursing professionals who worked for any of his businesses.
McLain took steps to hide his ownership and involvement in Kirpal Nurses by using others as the owners and operators, including his daughter, according to the U.S. attorneys release. From June 1999 through December 2001, McLain arranged to pay the IRS some, but not all of the employment taxes.
In May 2002, the Minnesota Department of Health advised Kirpal Nurses of a change in state law requiring all nursing professionals to be treated as employees and not as independent contractors. Seven months later, in December 2002, McLain provided the department with paperwork and asserted that employment taxes were being withheld for all Kirpal employees, including nursing professionals.
However, that same month, Kirpal Nurses paid the IRS $4,200 in employment taxes for the entire calendar year. Kirpal failed to make any employment tax payments to the IRS after that.
The case was investigated by the IRS-Criminal Investigation Division, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys David M. Genrich and Michael L. Cheever.MTBob

There are so many ins and outs. You need to let a pro go over this. I know that part of the test of being a sub is wether you do work for others and it sounds like you want to have that option. You might not be able to do that if you are an employee. Insurance will try everything they can not to pay a claim so you need to be sure they understand what they are insuring. Sometimes deals like this are great and sometimes they can be a disaster. Hope this one ends up great and a good way to give it a reasonable shot is to talk to the people who get paid to have the answers.[B]Trail Blazer 302

The speed of the transformation of Dubai from desert outpost to major international trade center is staggering. 20 years ago, the main road through Dubai was mostly sand. Now, it's a multi-lane highway surrounded by one of the world's most spectacular cityscapes. The city is a living testament to human endeavor.
Our Dubai campus is located in Dubai Internet City, home to the biggest and brightest names in digital technology. Microsoft, MasterCard, LinkedIn, Oracle, Samsung, and Facebook are just some of the global companies with offices here.
