Very comfortable..
excellent!!!! my butt is very happy!
I had the OE seat on now for 17000 miles and ten years. needless to say it was time to change. This seat with back rest is perfect I don't know why I didn't change it out sooner.I would recommend it to anyone with a Harley Heritage.
I've been riding nearly 40 years & this seat makes my old 61 year old butt smile. I've made two nonstop rides of 335 & 425 miles without the backrest (as well as other shorter rides) & no problem from gas stop to the next. The backrest is to forward for me to use but I ordered a 2 inch Offset Backrest Tongue (pat # 75099) from Mustang for $25 + shipping which I think will make it work for me.
Great seat, very comfortable as expected!!
Great seat and backrest. The purchase was worth the price allowing me to ride comfortably on my 94 Fatboy.
This is the 2nd seat I have bought from Mustang & is the best ! Goes on a 96 FXDL & is sooo comfortable. I have a 160 mile round trip to work & back so I need the back support. Money well spent !!
quick shipment easy install and very nice staff to work with . thanks
This seat and backrest has made a world of difference in my ride. Prior to my new seat, I could only ride 45 min to an hour before my tailbone started hurting. I have not had this happen ONE TIME with my new seat. The backrest adds just the right amount of pressure on back to keep it from getting stiff and sore. I highly recommend this seat combo!
The seat feels like it could use more padding up forward. With the back rest I don't feel like I am siting on the main portion of the seat, but forward. I love the backrest.
the most comfortable seat ever,
The most comfortable seat EVER!!!
Love the seat road 920 miles on it already
Best seat I've riden on in 50 years
The Best Seat I could have thought. Perfect fit with Backrest to my back, can ride miles & miles. Technical discussion and suggestion from J&P was exact & thanks to them
I love my new seat and it only took 4 days to get it. Very happy with my first experience with J&P Cycles.
Love this seat. Really helped on vi brains and the back rest. What a rest on the back.
Awesome, love this new seat very comfortable and superb quality. Apart from the custom duty surprise everything is just great.
This seat is well worth the money spent on it. So comfortable and looks great with the Solo Luggage Rack he suggested to go with it.
We love it. Fit perfectly, feels good, looks good, good quality, nice backrest, and easy to adjust.
excellent equipment..good quality
Mustang comes through again! This seat is amazing! Very comfortable. A little hard to install, but once on fits nice.
I couldn't believe this would be worth the money. Said I'd never do it. But I did; It's as good as advertised. You won't be sorry.
I bought this seat just prior to a ride around Lake Superior in August. Put 2,100 miles in the saddle and not one complaint. Ride would have been miserable had I not had this saddle. I thought it would be a little softer but maybe with a little more time in it, it will loosen up a bit. Overall, I like it.
Wow! If i'd have only known three years ago I could enjoy riding this much, I would have had one sooner. I could ride all day without resting if my fuel tank would allow it. Take it from someone who suffers from major lower back pain, this seed is the ticket.
Bought this for my wife's 2006 Softail and it is a great riding seat..She loves the backrest!!
Awsome, I have one of these seats on both of my bikes. The best seat known to Man. I can ride all day, or from gas stop to gas stop without my butt getting tierd.
Fits just like it should, looks great, and is a tremendous improvement over the stock seat. Thanks for the fast shipping J-P!!!
did not like it
Very comfortable seat. well worth the money. fast delivery from JP Cycle.
Great seat and quality for my 09 FLSTC ,although rides a little higher than stock seat .
I have installed this seat on the last two bikes that I have owned. It sits a little higher and pushes you a little bit forward than the stock seat. The contoured back holds you in place really well. It looks better and gets more comfortable as you break it in. It's a great seat.
It is the best seat to have for any rider. I feel its a must to have a backrest on a cruiser. Most comfortable & the best buy as well. Also would like to add one more point which is thanks to the JP Cycle Team they make it so easy for one and all to get the correct part for your bike once you have given them the correct information. Thanks Guys / Gals. U ROCK!!!!!!
Incredible difference! I found you sit slightly more forward and slightly higher, at 5'10 I'm not reaching as far forward to grap the controls, That along with the backrest really makes for a comfortable ride. Very high quality construction, highly recommend this seat
seat was easy to install, fits perfect, looks great and feels even better. should have done long ago.
Love the new look on my 2014 Heritage Softail
Great seat. I rode 650 miles in one day and 3000 miles over the coarse of that week and my butt was smiling the whole way. I wish I had made this purchase 7 years earlier. I would recommend this seat to anybody
so far it has proven to be more comfortable than my stock seat, back rest it very nice, but could be a little bigger.
Great price looked great returned did look right on wifes deluxe Will order the slimmer one
Purchased at the warehouse store in Iowa. Installed right then and there at the store and they shipped my original seat back home! Thanks! Love the Mustang seat! I have Mustangs on all three of my Harleys!
This seat is great. I have one on both my Bikes now. Mustang is the way to go.
rides well...love the backrest...have this seat on both my scoots.
Nice seat. just needs wearing in.
great seat nice and comfortable and the backrest makes long trips comfortable

Missing today from Apple's exciting Mac announcements was any mention of updates to the in-house apps that power those devices. In particular, many Apple fans had hoped for a long-awaited update to iTunes — not just an update, but more of a total rewrite to reflect the fact that the app is for more than just music now. iTunes is also horribly slow on most Macs, making any media-oriented use case an exercise in frustration.
iLife was ignored outright as well. Sure, Apple has updated iPhoto and iMovie for the Retina displays, but basically the software remains unchanged from years past. With the boom in digital photography, iPhoto really needs to be able to handle more images with higher resolution at a much faster pace. Aperture is not the answer for every digital photographer.
But the biggest omission today to me seemed to be iWork, which hasn't seen a major upgrade since 2009. Apple CEO Tim Cook mentioned that there were 125 million Documents in the Cloud, which is actually a mere pittance when you consider the number of people who use Pages, Keynote, and Numbers. What's missing from these apps is the ability to really do any collaborative work, something that's essential for iWork to be taken seriously in business.
AppleInsider reported a rumor yesterday that Apple and VMWare are teaming for a cloud-based, business version of iWork. The post says that the "iWork in the Cloud" concept is aimed at iOS users, but it could theoretically work cross-platform on OS X and Windows as well. The cloud solution could be available prior to Microsoft's rumored release of MS Office for iOS in March 2013.
So, TUAW readers, how about you? Would you like to have heard Tim Cook or another Apple executive announce new Mac apps today? Let us know in the comments.
Updated iWork, iLife, iTunes missing in action originally appeared on TUAW – The Unofficial Apple Weblog on Tue, 23 Oct 2012 15:30:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

The MTA says the G train needs more service and other improvements, including abolition of the G Train Sprint, a maneuver involving passengers running in pursuit of trains that stop far from where straphangers wait.
The transit agency, which examined the G at the request of two state senators, said more service and trains were needed at more even intervals.
The G train serves the fast-growing neighborhoods of Queens and Brooklyn and is the only regular numbered or lettered line not serving Manhattan.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority said the cost of increasing service alone would cost about $700,000. It would be subject to approval by the MTA board, which meets next week.
The review of the G train was requested by Sens. Martin Dilan (D-Brooklyn) and Daniel Squadron (D-Brooklyn), who represent areas serviced by the G.
"The line is a vital connection for customers in fast-growing parts of our service area and this review will be an important tool for making both short-term improvements and long-term additions to our service," said MTA Chairman Thomas Prendergast. "We are pleased to be able to take these steps to improve service for all of our G train customers."
Squadron hailed the MTA's plans for the G.
"Now, G train riders will be en route to much-needed relief that may one day lead to the G meaning 'great.' These recommendations will allow the G to keep pace with skyrocketing growth in Brooklyn and Queens and make the notorious G Train Sprint a thing of the past," Squadron said.
The MTA's recommendations for improving G train service include:
• increasing G train service by 25 percent in the afternoon and evening, running more trains from about 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
• running trains at more even intervals rather than having some bunched together and some with long waits in-between
• adding public announcement systems at 12 G train at stations that now lack them
• making changes in train operations, like opening all doors earlier on trains waiting at Court Square so passengers can spread throughout the trains instead of bunching together near the one open door

At the recently opened La Churreria in Nolita, the $6 combo buys five churros and a warming cup of thick, glossy hot chocolate. The churros are fried to order, twiggy and crisp all the way through. They lack any sort of textural contrast but are satisfying, finished with a bare dusting of sugar. We could use more sugar, or we could benefit from a lengthy dunk into the chocolate—which is how I prefer to take my churros. It's velvety and dark, easily clinging to the golden ridges; what you don't finish by dipping can be spooned up plain. Pair with a cup of earthy, sweet housemade horchata ($2) and that's one afternoon dessert that might pass as a meal in itself.

Jared Sullinger's promising rookie campaign with the Boston Celtics is over.
After the forward missed practice Thursday with back spasms, Celtics coach Doc Rivers told the media that Sullinger was "50-50" to play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, going as far as saying, "I'm not that concerned. Can he miss games here or there? He may, but it's not anything [long-term] or anything like that."
Hours later, Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports broke the news that Sullinger's back would require surgery and that his season was over.
Sullinger, no stranger to back problems, also missed time during his sophomore season at Ohio State for issues related to back spasms.
When he underwent a physical prior to the NBA Draft, doctors raised questions about his career path after discovering problems, causing him to fall out of the lottery. Boston chose him with the No. 21 overall pick.
Games | MPG | PPG | FG% | FT% | RPG | APG | SPG | BPG |
45 | 19.82 | 6.0 | 49.3% | 74.6% | 5.9 | 0.8 | 0.5 | 0.5 |
Sullinger looked to be a steal. He averaged six points and six rebounds in 20 minutes per game. The Celtics are 22-23 and occupy the eighth-seed in the East. But combined with a season-ending injury to point guard Rajon Rondo, they could now be on the outs in terms of the playoffs.
Sullinger's best game of the season came against Brooklyn on Christmas Day, when he finished with 16 points and seven rebounds.

Before I take the rest of the plugs I did a little more research..I found 2 vac caps dry rotted im guessing from the heat of the intake/ Underhood temps from the turbo I have a Trick flow street heat intake..under the upper intake there are [2] 3/8 vac barbs that had vac caps on them they were leaking bad..i didn't even hearany vac leaks or see it on the Air fuel gauge which is weird...But can a vac leak cause this bog...Someone said that its un-metered air so it could effect it...Do you think that is the issue?? I did get into boost hard the last time I had it out before the water pump went and then I did the electric fan thinking it was the Alt draw,,,were then I did the new 3G Alt... I was going to get 2 pipe plugs and take the barbs out and install the plugs so this wont happen again then just try taking it for a ride and see if doesn't Bog what do you think????

The supply of 8800GT cards looks better than ever before, but it still isn't great. If you spend a few minutes on Geizhals, you will be able to find at least a few brands available, but many times they would cost a bit more than they are supposed to.
The resellers want to use the advantage and to sell them for more money, and to get the higher profits out of them.
It's still a great card for the money, but at these prices the 8800 GTS is not that far off price-wise and it tends to provide a bit more performance.

Posted on 12/17/2005 3:58:48 AM PST by PatrickHenry
A former high school science teacher turned creation science evangelist told an audience at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee last Tuesday that evolution is the dumbest and most dangerous theory on planet Earth.
Kent Hovind, founder of Creation Science Evangelism, presented Creation or Evolution Which Has More Merit? to a standing-room only audience in the Union Ballroom on Dec. 6. The event was sponsored by the Apologetics Association, the organization that brought Baptist minister Tim Wilkins to UWM to speak about homosexuality in October.
Members of the Apologetics Association (AA) contacted biology, chemistry and geology professors at UWM and throughout the UW System, inviting them to debate Hovind for an honorarium of $200 to be provided to the individual or group of individuals who agreed.
Before the event began, the No-Debater List, which was comprised of slides listing the names of UWM science professors who declined the invitation, was projected behind the stage.
Dustin Wales, AA president, said it was his biggest disappointment that no professor agreed to debate Hovind.
No professor wanted to defend his side, he said. I mean, we had seats reserved for their people cause I know one objection could have been Oh, its just a bunch of Christians. So we had seats reserved for them to bring people to make sure that its somewhat more equal, not just all against one. And still nobody would do it.
Biology professor Andrew Petto said: It is a pernicious lie that the Apologetics (Association) is spreading that no one responded to the challenge. Many of us (professors) did respond to the challenge; what we responded was, No, thank you.
Petto, who has attended three of Hovinds performances, said that because Hovind presents misinterpretations, half truths and outright lies, professors at UWM decided not to accept his invitation to a debate.
In a nutshell, debates like this do not settle issues of scientific understanding, he said. Hovind and his arguments are not even in the same galaxy as legitimate scientific discourse. This is why the faculty here has universally decided not to engage Hovind. The result would be to give the appearance of a controversy where none exists.
He added, The faculty on campus is under no obligation to waste its time supporting Hovinds little charade.
Hovind, however, is used to being turned down. Near the end of his speech, he said, Over 3,000 professors have refused to debate me. Why? Because Im not afraid of them.
Hovind began his multimedia presentation by asserting that evolution is the dumbest and most dangerous theory used in the scientific community, but that he is not opposed to science.
Our ministry is not against science, but against using lies to prove things, he said. He followed this statement by citing biblical references to lies, which were projected onto screens behind him.
Hovind said: I am not trying to get evolution out of schools or to get creation in. We are trying to get lies out of textbooks. He added that if removing lies from textbooks leaves no evidence for evolutionists theory, then they should get a new theory.
He cited numerous state statutes that require that textbooks be accurate and up-to-date, but said these laws are clearly not enforced because the textbooks are filled with lies and are being taught to students.
Petto said it is inevitable that textbooks will contain some errors.
Sometimes, this is an oversight. Sometimes it is the result of the editorial and revision process. Sometimes it is the result of trying to portray a rich and complex idea in a very few words, he said.
The first lie Hovind presented concerned the formation of the Grand Canyon. He said that two people can look at the canyon. The person who believes in evolution would say, Wow, look what the Colorado River did for millions and millions of years. The Bible-believing Christian would say, Wow, look what the flood did in about 30 minutes.
To elaborate, Hovind discussed the geologic column the chronologic arrangement of rock from oldest to youngest in which boundaries between different eras are marked by a change in the fossil record. He explained that it does not take millions of years to form layers of sedimentary rock.
You can get a jar of mud out of your yard, put some water in it, shake it up, set it down, and it will settle out into layers for you, he said. Hovind used this concept of hydrologic sorting to argue that the biblical flood is what was responsible for the formation of the Grand Canyons layers of sedimentary rock.
Hovind also criticized the concept of micro-evolution, or evolution on a small, species-level scale. He said that micro-evolution is, in fact, scientific, observable and testable. But, he said, it is also scriptural, as the Bible says, They bring forth after his kind.
Therefore, according to the Bible and micro-evolution, dogs produce a variety of dogs and they all have a common ancestor a dog.
Hovind said, however, Charles Darwin made a giant leap of faith and logic from observing micro-evolution into believing in macro-evolution, or evolution above the species level. Hovind said that according to macro-evolution, birds and bananas are related if one goes back far enough in time, and the ancestor ultimately was a rock.
He concluded his speech by encouraging students to personally remove the lies from their textbooks and parents to lobby their school board for accurate textbooks.
Tear that page out of your book, he said. Would you leave that in there just to lie to the kids?
Petto said Hovind believes the information in textbooks to be lies because his determination is grounded in faith, not science.
Make no mistake, this is not a determination made on the scientific evidence, but one in which he has decided on the basis of faith alone that the Bible is correct, and if the Bible is correct, then science must be wrong, he said.
Petto said Hovind misinterprets scientific information and then argues against his misinterpretation.
That is, of course, known as the straw man argument great debating strategy, but nothing to do with what scientists actually say or do, he said. The bottom line here is that the science is irrelevant to his conclusions.
Another criticism of Hovinds presentation is his citation of pre-college textbooks. Following the event, an audience member said, I dont think using examples of grade school and high school biology can stand up to evolution.
Petto called this an interesting and effective rhetorical strategy and explained that Hovind is not arguing against science, but the textbook version of science.
The texts are not presenting the research results of the scientific community per se, but digesting and paraphrasing it in a way to make it more effective in learning science, he said. So, what (Hovind) is complaining about is not what science says, but what the textbooks say that science says.
Petto said this abbreviated version of scientific research is due, in part, to the editorial and production processes, which impose specific limits on what is included.
He added that grade school and high school textbooks tend to contain very general information about evolution and pressure from anti-evolutionists has weakened evolutionary discussion in textbooks.
Lower-level texts tend to be more general in their discussions of evolution and speak more vaguely of change over time and adaptation and so on, he said. Due to pressure by anti-evolutionists, textbook publishers tend to shy away from being too evolutionary in their texts The more pressure there is on schools and publishers, the weaker the evolution gets, and the weaker it gets, the more likely that it will not do a good job of representing the current consensus among biologists.
Hovind has a standing offer of $250,000 for anyone who can give any empirical evidence (scientific proof) for evolution. According to Hovinds Web site, the offer demonstrates that the hypothesis of evolution is nothing more than a religious belief.
The Web site, www.drdino.com, says, Persons wishing to collect the $250,000 may submit their evidence in writing or schedule time for a public presentation. A committee of trained scientists will provide peer review of the evidence offered and, to the best of their ability, will be fair and honest in their evaluation and judgment as to the validity of the evidence presented.
Wales said the AAs goal in bringing Hovind to UWM was to crack the issue on campus and bring attention to the fallibility of evolution.
The ultimate goal was to say that, Gosh, evolution isnt as concrete as you say it is, and why do you get to teach everyone this non-concrete thing and then not defend it when someone comes and says your wrong? he said. Its just absurd.
How long do you think would be long enough then? Give reasons for your answer. Take any well-known fossil sequence, and explain why the dates between the samples aren't long enough, by reference to known rates of allele frequency change. This will require you to debunk the work of those who have shown that measured rates of change are sufficient to account for modern genetic diversity, assuming the physicists measurements of the age of the earth are correct.
WRONG! When you make a claim and are asked to back it up you should do so, or withdraw. We aren't going to do your research for you.
How about the flood and the Grand Canyon? I have been waiting for somebody to support that little gem.
Simply pointing out that he cheats on his taxes, which he does, is not in and of itself fallacious. In fact, it can't be fallacious, insofar as it's not even an argument, per se - it's merely a statement of fact.
Quite so. If I were to assert that astrology is bunk, and that its original premises were debunked, I could back that up. Easily.
Right. In fact, Isaac Newton was apparently a genuine creep, and in some ways a total whack job. But that says nothing about his science work. Hovind, on the other hand, is apparently an all-round whack job. His "science" is a joke.
The thread's about Hovind; we're discussing Hovind. Who are you to say what can and can't be posted?
... AiG published a particular article entitled Arguments we think creationists should NOT use, and followed this with a related Creation magazine article Moving forwardarguments we think creationists shouldnt use. This was not aimed at any particular person or organization, but was produced as a result of the collective wisdom of AiGs trained scientists and other professionals, based on years of research and experience.When an attempted critique of this AiG article appeared on Kent Hovinds Web site, AiG was somewhat surprised (and disappointed) to note that it frequently and significantly misrepresents and/or misunderstands the statements and positions made in our carefully researched document.
In the interests of maintaining Christian/creationist integrity, we believed we had to respond to Kent Hovinds critique (albeit with a heavy heart), particularly because of the mistakes in facts and logic which do the creationist cause no good.
Before responding to specifics, it may be worth pointing out the obvious: If these arguments dont convince fellow creationists, why would any creationist think they are going to convince evolutionists? And it would be worth revisiting our articles hyperlinked above for our motivation in compiling these dubious arguments.
Our purpose is to encourage Gods people to avoid fallacious arguments and incorrect information that could become a stumbling block to those who have the background to understand the material. (By the way, AiG has met with Kent Hovind in the past to discuss many of the items below, including the fraudulent claims of Ron Wyatt.)
[Hovind says he links to AiG's website even though they don't link to his.]
We certainly promote many materials produced by other creationists, but not just because they are creationists. We also promote material by some of the Intelligent Design movement for example, on merit. There are minimum criteria of quality and science understanding. We also have difficulty with the idea of promoting sites which have various overtly bizarre ideas, not just in creation issues, but also linking creation issues with other fringe thinking (such as arguments against paying income tax, various cancer cures, etc.) which regardless of their merits or otherwise, have nothing to do with the creation issue. Our actions in this matter are not the product of aloofness, but of caution and concern for the credibility of the creation movement as a whole.
One reason for such a list ["Arguments we think creationists should NOT use"] is precisely because there are many arguments still being widely used which fly in the face of facts and reason. Sometimes this is because the people concerned are not aware of the realities involved, sometimes because they do not understand them, or because they have not bothered to really assess something for themselves. Its often easier to just go with the arguments which seem to work in convincing an audience. This is why certain practices and procedures of peer-review (as discussed in this entire document) are desirable, i.e. a self-critical process within the creation movement. It is perhaps easier for an organization composed of a substantial number of scientists and thinkers to undertake such processes than organizations which are controlled by a single individual. Nevertheless, our list was not aimed at Kent Hovind, in spite of the defensiveness in his response overall.
...[big snip]...
Unfortunately, Kent Hovinds document repeatedly misrepresents or misunderstands not only our article, but the issues themselves. Our article was not aimed at any individual, but we plead with all creationist lone wolf popularizers to familiarize themselves with the immense amount of good science being done by qualified (though fallible) creationist researchers, most of them not even associated with our own ministry. These are people who have shown that they are willing to be corrected, and to interact with their critics formally in peer-reviewed fashion.
We plead for all of us to swallow pride and, without sacrificing independence of thought and originality, be prepared to submit to the rigors of peer review and to the thoroughly Biblical process of iron sharpening iron. That would be real working together, not some artificial unity in which scientifically trained creationists (i.e. Bible-believing scientists) are supposed to smile sweetly while plainly wrong and even fraudulent claims are being promoted in the name of Creationism.
Such a process, recognizing the fallibility of all of us, would also delineate more clearly such things as the burden of proof in regard to various claims, and would help separate shaky, flaky theories from reasonable speculationsi.e., legitimate hypotheses which seek to be constrained by Scripture, fact, and the faculties of rational thought with which our Creator has endowed us.
That is just ludicrously disingenuous.
Yes, but that isn't evidence, that's an explanation for a lack of evidence.
Anyone that read the articles could see this footnote is a quote and it did not come from Hovind
Its understood just fine
As I said, when Hovind stops labeling anyone who disagrees with him a liar, perhaps I'll take complaints about name-calling more seriously. As for the second part, post ten never "debunked" him because of his tax returns - in fact, it doesn't really mention his theories on evolution at all. If you insist on reading things that aren't there, I don't think anyone's going to be able to help you.
The reputation and a detail of events that Tacitus provided was evidence apart from a Biblical account. The reason why Jesus was not splattered all over the Roman Empire by secularist because it was forbidden and probably considered Christianity to be only about worshiping an insane Jew. Not a very popular idea to the elites who could read and write.
Also I find Books of the Bible to be highly accurate in regards to historical events. The Bible, even among secularist, should not be frowned upon in regards to it's historical accuracy.
Considering that the term "straw men" has been used five times on this thread, one of which was in the article itself, three of which were by you, andthe last of which was not referring to any known scientific fraud, I guess I'm not sure why I should feel compelled to "explain" something that you're pretty clearly imagining. That is, I guess I could speculate on why you see things that aren't there, but I don't think you'd like my suggestions.
Don't think I would go there. Some of the dumbest people I have known were Mensa.
Anyway, I am just lurking, as I have truthfully never heard of Hovind, and am just watching the thread unfold. Don't have a horse to ride in this race.
I'm pretty sure a goldfish evolving into a cat isn't an example of a "known scientific fraud". You'll pardon me if I don't assign your complaints much weight.
That's backwards from the actual anthropic principle. It's like saying voles live in my house because the house was created for them. It's even more like saying owls live in back of the house created for them because voles live in the house until they are caught and thrown out into the yard for the owls.
How much weight were you asked to assign them when considering his arguments on evolution? None. So I guess everybody's happy, right?
Doesn't Batboy prove evolution?
Common creationist tactic - Lie & duck!
Oops, sorry! The real Patrick Henry, the Creationist, is dead.
Well, there you go.
Darwin lovers don't like to debate...every time they do, they lose. They would rather scream and yell and hide behind the status quo...hateful atheists ...
Can you honestly reply that you've never read, heard, or seen posted evidence that some of Darwin's original postulations have been debunked or "revised to fit current knowledge"?
Yet another joke at the expense of the Clown Prince of AstroPhysics, aka the Freeper formerly know as "medved" (and about 20 other screen names since that one) and his faithful mascot, Splifford the ASCII Bat?
So they tell me. It may interest you to know that he died in 1799, sixty years before Darwin published Origin of Species (in 1859), so it's difficult to imagine how the original PH could have been anything other than a creationist. But perhaps I've missed some profound point you were trying to make.
Watch it, sport!
Yes the 28MY estimate is Cooper's, and it was published in ex Nihlo, but Cooper's a bloody Pom!
He is a/the leading light of the Creation Science Movement - it and him can be located at
Bill Cooper
Creation Science Movement
United Kingdom
His principal claim to fame appears as the author of After The Flood
Bill Cooper is a council member and trustee of the Creation Science Movement. He is married with two daughters and has recently been awarded an Honours degree by Kingston University (England) for combined studies in the History of Ideas (Religion, Philosophy and Political Theory) and English Literature. He has lectured on The Table of Nations, under the auspices of the CSM, in Germans, Belgium and at many venues in England including Leeds University.More Creteanist sources claim he is alos an archaelogist with a Th.D and a Ph.D.
He has written numerous articles for the Creation Science Movement and for the Creation Ex Nihilo Technical Journal published by the Creation Science Foundation of Australia, on the Table of Nations (The Early History of Man series), the historical Jonah and other subjects.
This book shows how European history can be traced right back to the flood and the descendants of Japheth, through contemporary accounts and a table of nations.
Tried for a better photo, but do you know how many middleaged heavy-set Bill Coopers there are on Google?
no. please give me an example.
..And just because *you're* sadly duped into believing such cultist B.S. doesn't mean it's evidence for anything.
Possibly another keeper. But the list is already long enough. I'll wait for something really spectacular.
LOL!It's amazing to see how this cult of evolution takes over seemingly intelligent minds...
I've never seen so many smart people duped buy such obvious crappola, that which they would throw logic "holy" out the window!
LOL!It's amazing to see how this cult of evolution takes over seemingly intelligent minds...

Do you have a smartphone but it doesn't have apps? Or have an iPhone or an Android and want to post pictures to facebook and/or twitter without having to use an app?
There have been times where I wanted to post a picture to both twitter and my facebook fan page (or personal page) using my iPhone but I didn't have time to bring up both a facebook and twitter app. I know there are apps out there that post to both but I don't like them all that much. I like to use twitpic for my twitter pictures and those other apps don't support twitpic. If the twitter picture service you use allows you to post via email, you can still do what I'm showing you below.
This is all done via email and it's very easy to set up and once you get the hang of it, it will save you so much time. I found this very useful when I participated in the Susan G. Komen Tampa 3-Day for the Cure last October and I will be using this technique once again when I participate in a NASA Tweetup at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida for the final launch of space shuttle Endeavour STS-134 (squeee!) this week. I was thrilled and shocked when I was picked out of 4,000 registrants for 1 of 150 slots.
- I'll show you how to obtain the posting email address for your fan page & your personal account.
- I'll show you how to obain the posting email address for your twitpic account.
- Then, I'll show you how to easily set it up so it takes just seconds to post to both facebook & twitter.
First things first, you must be the admin of the facebook fan page you want to post to for this to work.
Make sure you're logged into facebook and browse to your facebook fan page (or use your unique URL to do directly to it). On the far right is a link called "Edit Page", click on that and it will bring you to the page below. Then, click on the Mobile link on the left sidebar. (For the browser screenshots on this post, click on the image to get a larger view.)
Take note of the email address that appears on this page. This is email address you will email photos or status updates to. DO NOT share this email address with anyone. If you click on the Learn More link to the right, you can refresh the email address and change it at anytime. Save this email address to your contacts as something you will remember. You can click on Learn More and have facebook email it to your phone.
The above screenshot is how you obtain the email address for your personal profile. Go to the Facebook Mobile page while logged into your account and you'll see a similar page. I have noticed that they move around the sections so your Upload via Email information may be on another part of the page.
Again, take note of the email address that appears on this page. DO NOT share this email address with anyone. If you click on the Send my upload email button, facebook will email it to your phone. Also, save this email address in your contacts in your phone so you easily remember it.
Now onto, twitpic or whatever image service you use for Twitter (I'm sure yfrog or whatever other service you may use will have this option as well). I only prefer it because this is what I have been using from the beginning. Login to your twitpic account using twitter and then go to Settings and your twitpic email address will appear. Again, DON'T share this email address with anyone and save it in your contacts.
The below screenshots are from my iPhone but the last couple will apply to anyone that has access to sending email on your phone.
The image should be in the body of your email message and it's okay if you have some text like a signature, it will not appear in your tweet or image. Make sure to hit the send button. 🙂
*A note for facebook emails, if you include an empty body and just text in the subject line, that's a facebook status. I don't know of a way to email text to twitter so it displays in your public timeline as a tweet but there are ways to text tweets, direct messages and @replies, just visit the Twitter mobile page.
And here's an example of an image I uploaded to facebook and twitter last month using the methods I outlined above.
I hope you found this post useful!

Updated on 24 July 2012
The DRA then requested for clinical trial data to demonstrate efficacy and safety of the individual biosimilar product, as the amino acid sequence of the originator and biosimilar in most instances are not identical. As such, mere analysis as per pharmacopeial standard or even bio equivalence studies may not be adequate to demonstrate efficacy and safety of the individual molecule.
Mr Adrian Basnayake says, "Some principals have been able to submit the requested data, which is clinical trial data and bio equivalence data, although there have been some delay in understanding what the DRA wanted and in sending the requested information. In some instances, the DRA was confused about the difference between biological products and biosimilars, and what is an originator or a biosimilar. Above factors have led to most biosimilars being suspended in registration with effect from March 1, 2012, and consequently they are going out of stock in the market or being disqualified in government tenders. This, no doubt, has impacted the overall health expenditure, whether that expense is met by the government or out of pocket by patients."
Reacting to the developments, the spokesperson of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, India, comments, "The Sri Lankan authorities issued a recent directive automatically de-registering several similar bio-therapeutic products previously approved, including two of Dr. Reddy's products. These actions are based solely on the authorities employing a new set of regulations, and not based on any safety, efficacy, or quality aspect of the products. Dr. Reddy's is in discussions to evaluate the next steps."
Mr Nimal Dias Jayasinha says, "Manufacturers have begun to provide additional information required, but the lobby of the multinationals is preventing decisive action being pursued upon this matter. Seemingly, the originator products will continue to have a field day until such time as such biosimilars are registered in the given reference countries, a process which could take quite a few years."
"We understand that some manufactures have submitted the requested data and scrutiny of the data is presently underway by a sub-committee comprising pharmacists, pharmacologists and clinicians. We are hopeful that the CDDA will conclude the review of this submitted data expeditiously and some of these biosimilars can be made available to patients in the next two-to-three months. In the mean time, originators are experiencing the best sales in many years," adds Mr Adrian Basnayake.
"My personal view is that the Indian Health Ministry should take this matter up with the WHO, so that rational and reasonable decisions are reached that help benefit the beleaguered patients in Sri Lanka," concludes Mr Nimal Dias Jayasinha.

Fobb says he loves the Everglades—loves snakes, too—and that man is doing far more damage to the area than the reptiles.
And second, the allegers proved themselves over time to be as unappealing a litter of reptiles and crones as could be imagined.
And some reptiles add a fourth function to the overworked cloacal repository–that of respiration as well.
When the hiss of reptiles turns to words, you hear something that you have never heard and will never forget.
The large eagles prey on game all the year round; the smaller species chiefly on reptiles and small birds, secondarily on game.
The only dangerous animals are the crocodile, serpents, and other reptiles.
Even if there were no wildcats on the island, there were plenty of reptiles.
The Jadoo-wallah caught the reptiles and placed them in his snake basket.
Instead of flying towards the water, these reptiles made for the woods.
"Only one of the reptiles by the stream," said my father, quietly.
late 14c., "creeping or crawling animal," from Old French reptile (early 14c.) and directly from Late Latin reptile, noun use of neuter of reptilis (adj.) "creping, crawling," from rept-, past participle stem of repere "to crawl, creep," from PIE root *rep- "to creep, crawl" (cf. Lithuanian replioju "to creep"). Used of persons of low character from 1749.
Precise scientific use began to develop mid-18c., but the word was used as well at first of animals now known as amphibians, including toads, frogs, salamanders; separation of Reptilia (1835 as a distinct class) and Amphibia took place early 19c.; popular use lagged, and reptile still was used late 18c. with sense "An animal that creeps upon many feet" [Johnson, who calls the scorpion a reptile], sometimes excluding serpents.
And the terrestrial animals may be divided into quadrupeds or beasts, reptiles, which have many feet, and serpents, which have no feet at all. [Locke, "Elements of Natural Philosophy," 1689]The Old English word for "reptile" was slincend, related to slink.
An inadvertent step may crush the snail
That crawls at ev'ning in the public path ;
But he that has humanity, forewarn'd,
Will tread aside, and let the reptile live.
[Cowper, "The Task," 1785]
A class of scaly vertebrates that usually reproduce by laying eggs. Lizards, snakes, turtles, and alligators are reptiles. Reptiles are cold-blooded animals.
Note: The dinosaurs were reptiles.

I am doing a haunt in my back yard and have a place where I dug down so a guy can jump out of.
I would like to cover him with a 'dirt mound' So people do walk through and go hey there is a guy hiding in that hole. If they can see well in the dark.
I would like to have a covering that would look like a fresh filled in grave to stick over him. Any ideas how to accomplish this?
I was thinking of using heavy cloths put it on a mound then use spray adhesive on it and sprinkle dirt on it. Will the spray adhesive cause the material to stiffen to the point it will keep a slight mound shape? Anybody know how this effect can be acheived?

$ sudo gem install httparty
Some Quick Examples
The following is a simple example of wrapping Twitter's API for posting updates.
class Twitter
include HTTParty
base_uri 'twitter.com'
basic_auth 'username', 'password'
Twitter.post('/statuses/update.json', :query => {:status => "It's an HTTParty and everyone is invited!"})
That is really it! The object returned is a ruby hash that is decoded from Twitter's json response. JSON parsing is used because of the .json extension in the path of the request. You can also explicitly set a format (see the examples).
That works and all but what if you don't want to embed your username and password in the class? Below is an example to fix that:
class Twitter
include HTTParty
base_uri 'twitter.com'
def initialize(u, p)
@auth = {:username => u, :password => p}
def post(text)
options = { :query => {:status => text}, :basic_auth => @auth }
self.class.post('/statuses/update.json', options)
Twitter.new('username', 'password').post("It's an HTTParty and everyone is invited!")
More Examples: There are several examples in the gem itself.

Frequent snacking is more common than binge eating for black holes, a new study suggests.
Scientists observed 30 galaxies with particularly active large central black holes, and found that most of these ate their fill through regular small meals rather than a single giant feast.
Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, often lie at the centers of galaxies, and they gorge on gas dust and stars that come too close. The most active central black holes are called quasars when material falling on them releases bright light that can be seen across the universe. Astronomers had thought that many quasars were powered by single events, such as mergers with other galaxies that drove huge streams of gas and dust into their centers.
While this is sometimes the case, it seems that more commonly, quasar black holes feed on your average batch of gas or small satellite galaxy. [Video: Black Hole Eats Asteroids for Breakfast]
"The brilliant quasars born of galaxy mergers get all the attention because they are so bright and their host galaxies are so messed up," Yale University astronomer Kevin Schawinski said in a statement. "But the typical bread-and-butter quasars are actually where most of the black-hole growth is happening. They are the norm, and they don't need the drama of a collision to shine."
Schawinski and his colleagues observed the collection of quasars with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and Spitzer Space Telescope, which both have the ability to look in infrared light, which pierces through the dust that often shrouds galaxies in optical light.
The researchers looked for galaxies that were exceptionally bright in infrared light, hinting that their central black holes were probably very active. They then studied these galaxies' shapes for signs that they had collided with other galaxies, which would have left their forms distorted and strange.
The astronomers found that 26 of the 30 galaxies observed bore no signs of having undergone mergers, with only one galaxy in the sample looking like it might have collided with a neighbor.
Still, even the sharp eyes of Hubble were not enough to zoom in to see what specific processes are feeding these run-of-the-mill quasars.
"I think it's a combination of processes, such as random stirring of gas, supernovae blasts, swallowing of small bodies, and streams of gas and stars feeding material into the nucleus," Schawinski said.
The researchers are hoping NASA's next major observatory project, the James Webb Space Telescope to launch in 2018, will do the trick.
"To get to the heart of what kinds of events are powering the quasars in these galaxies, we need the Webb telescope," Schawinski said. "Hubble and Spitzer have been the trailblazers for finding them."

Nintendo also bested the competition on the console side, the Wii selling more than a half-million units in the U.S. in March.The battle between Microsoft and Sony was a little closer, with less than 25,000 sales separating the two.AdvertisementHere are the official numbers from sales tracker NPD.Nintendo DS - 700,800Wii - 557,500Xbox 360 - 338,400PlayStation 3 - 313,900PSP - 119,900PlayStation 2 - 118,300In dollar sales, that amounts to $440.5 million. That's a drop of 4% from the previous March. NPD calls the Wii the "only hardware platform to increase sales velocity over February" on an average sales-per-week basis.NPD also has good analysis news for Sony, noting "PS3 hardware posted its eighth consecutive month of year-over-year increases. For the first time since its launch in the U.S., the PS3 has four titles in the Top 10, and was also the leader in console software sales."Reply183 repliesLeave a reply
