text: If you have decided to have an open bar at your wedding, chances are you are trying to decide which liquors for the bar to provide. More than likely, your caterer or bartender has a list of liquors to choose from in various categories. The three most common categories are well, call and top shelf (sometimes called "premium"). Unless you really want a quality bar and it is a cost you are willing to absorb, most top-shelf liquors are completely unnecessary for larger receptions. Your liquor bill is going to skyrocket, even if your guests don't over-imbibe. Likewise, saving money by only using well is perfectly acceptable, but your drinks may suffer. The best bet is to have a good mix of all three categories. Use well vodka and rum, because it will be the easiest to mask in mixed drinks. Save top-shelf for whiskey, and use a mid-range tequila.

CDC37 (V297) Antibody detects endogenous levels of total CDC37 protein.
Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, MonkeySource / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding V297 of human CDC37. Antibodies are purified by peptide affinity chromatography.
CDC37 is an important component of the HSP90 chaperone complex (1,2). It was initially identified for its involvement in cell-cycle progression and was later found to have a much broader role as a chaperone for a wide variety of kinases and other proteins (1-3). CDC37 protein has an amino-terminal kinase binding domain followed by a central HSP90 binding domain. It recruits and stabilizes kinases in the HSP90 complex by protecting the newly synthesized kinase peptide chain from degradation and promoting the next step of protein maturation (4,5). CDC37 also suppresses the ATPase activity of HSP90, thereby leading to conformational changes in the complex that preclude target kinase loading (6). CDC37 has been proposed as a therapeutic target because of its important role in multiple kinase pathways involved in proliferation and cancer cell survival, including Raf, Akt, Src, and ErbB2 pathways (7,8).

Around three – four days back, we realized that we weren't getting any e-mail notification or any e-mail from our blogs (very unlikely) and found out that there was some issue with the server. I got disheartened and I almost lost my temper because of the issue raised because of the server!
Although, I'm happy once again that Dreamhost's (our webhosting provider) has done a wonderful job in resolving the issue and we have got all the stuck e-mails. So, if you didn't get to hear from us or didn't get any reply for your query, it was because we didn't get any e-mail in that time period.
We've got all the e-mail and the e-mail count stands at 200+, so it'll take some time for us to respond, I appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience caused!

Why Clinton Can't Use A Big Stick On North Korea
byThe Clinton Administration is nearing a moment of truth on whether, and how, to stop North Korea's nuclear-weapons buildup. Some U.S. hawks are urging President Clinton to get tough in a hurry after the International Atomic Energy Agency threw up its hands and on Mar. 21 referred the issue to the U.N. Security Council.
But supporting quick U.N. economic sanctions against North Korean leader Kim Il-Sung and rattling U.S. sabers aren't likely to work. Those gambits could even backfire, possibly triggering military conflict involving the 37,000 GIs in South Korea. To make matters worse, Washington's ties with Asian powers that hold the real keys to an eventual settlement, particularly China, are strained. Even South Korean leaders, who are most likely to be hurt by Pyongyang's nuclear buildup, are wavering on how Washington should proceed.
What does the 81-year-old Kim really want? With his plans to transfer power to his son in doubt and his backward economy falling further behind, brandishing the nuclear threat seems to be Kim's last, best chance to win economic assistance and diplomatic recognition from the U.S. and Japan. Even in the midst of the nuclear showdown, for example, he is seeking foreign investment in the Tumen River area.
Few Asia-based analysts believe sanctions, even if they could be enforced, would deter the old man from using the nuclear bluff to win economic gains and recognition, thereby saving his regime. Says an aide to South Korean President Kim Young Sam in Seoul: "Kim Il-Sung wants survival."
IRON GRIP. To avoid tripping, Washington will have to watch an intensive round of diplomacy now taking place among China, Japan, and South Korea. Those talks suggest that the North Korean threat is playing into China's hands. China's leaders hold the strongest cards because they supply Pyongyang with oil, food, and some military technology. The stultifyingly oppressive Kim regime also makes Beijing look positively democratic in comparison and reminds the Americans just how important the Chinese are strategically.
Despite public assurances from senior Administration officials to the contrary, the Chinese are in no mood to go meekly along with U.S.-inspired sanctions against a longtime ally, diplomats in Beijing say. That's doubly true now that the Chinese are engaged in a public war of words with the U.S. over human rights and most-favored-nation trading status.
The Chinese also would likely extract a high price in exchange for any help. Beijing diplomats speculate that China would demand admission to the General Agreement on Tariffs & Trade this year or that the U.S. put an end to the annual debates over its MFN status. Another plum might be U.S. support for allowing Beijing to host the Olympic Games in 2004. "The Chinese are definitely aware of the diplomatic potential of North Korea," says a Western diplomat. Any of these deals would pose an agonizing choice for Washington: trading its high moral ground on human rights in China for nuclear deterrence in North Korea.
SECRET PATHS. Unless the Chinese get what they want, there is no way the other U.N. powers can make sanctions stick. The Chinese border with North Korea runs through mountainous territory, and South Korean sources say China could allow goods to pass through indefinitely with the outside world scarcely the wiser.
Despite its own trade strains with Washington, Japan seems more likely to go along with U.N. sanctions, at least officially. But Tokyo probably wouldn't be able to stop the estimated $600 million that flows to Pyongyang from Japan each year. Most of that hard currency, the North's major source of financial support, comes from the pachinko, or pinball, industry controlled by North Korean residents of Japan. Koreans carry cash on frequent visits to the homeland, evading Japanese controls.
Even the South Koreans are proving difficult to read. On the one hand, Seoul is supporting military measures, including rescheduling the Team Spirit military
exercises with the U.S. and deploying 192 Patriot missiles. But on the other hand, some top Korean analysts are privately appealing to the U.S. to strike a deal with Kim, giving him billions of dollars and allowing him chaemyun, or face-saving. The reason: They don't want the North to collapse, forcing them to undertake an expensive German-style unification. With those kinds of conflicting signals from Seoul, the Americans are at risk of getting out ahead of their South Korean allies.
Overall, the Asians seem to agree that a waiting game is better than sudden confrontation. That allows Pyongyang to pursue its buildup, but the Asians are betting Kim will die and his government will collapse before the North builds a full arsenal and the missiles to deliver those weapons.
If the Americans provoke a confrontation that their Asian allies don't support, it would badly undermine U.S. diplomacy, already reeling in the region. Rather than making North Korea a quick test of decisive U.S. leadership, Clinton may have little choice but to adopt Asian-style patience in dealing with one of the world's potentially most explosive standoffs.
CHINA Supplies energy and food to North Korea but would extract a high price in exchange for pressuring Pyongyang
JAPAN North Korean residents in Japan provide largest flow of hard currency to Pyongyang
SOUTH KOREA Wants to stop the nuclear buildup but doesn't want to risk a North Korean collapse

Notes & Reviews:
The greatest composer of the 20th century remains one of its biggest mysteries. Nine days of the ocean voyage from Moscow to New York comprise the nine chapters of this documentary film about Dmitry Shostakovich. Unique, highly personal fragments of the composer's life are contrasted with the ideologically charged propaganda of the Soviet liner's staged shipboard events. The film reveals the personality of the quiet, retiring man who disliked publicity but was obliged to serve as a Soviet public figure; a genius faced with the choice between artistic freedom and harsh ideology, between truth and survival. Shostakovich's music, full of dark sarcasm and breathtaking lyricism, exaggerated joy and frightening celebration, plays the leading part in the film.

text: Harsh on the blokes who picked Franklin I reckon; he's probably still only some good ODI form, a couple more of those 137km/hr thunderbolts and a few more Brownlie failures from being back there, sad as that may seem. He did spend part of the summer there too given the Plunket Shield was already underway while he playing those Tests in South Africa. Certainly no more or less laughable in hindsight than the blokes who picked Flynn anyway IMO.

Sufjan Stevens is all about surprising the shit out of everyone these days: First he rush-released that EP last week, and today he announces that a new album, titled The Age of Adz, is due out on Oct. 12. Just so you're aware, "adz" is apparently pronounced "odds," so just in case you start talking about it with a cooler person, know how to pronounce it right. The album is also not a continuation of Stevens' state project, instead sharing themes with that EP. Go here for more info.
Here's the track list:
01 Futile Devices
02 Too Much
03 Age of Adz
04 I Walked
05 Now That I'm Older
06 Get Real Get Right
07 Bad Communication
08 Vesuvius
09 All for Myself
10 I Want To Be Well
11 Impossible Soul
The Libertines - The Libertines Make Live Comeback In London | Eminem Eminem's 'Recovery' Sets Sales Records |
Nice, always excited for more from this guy. I'm digging that EP. How's everyone else liking it?
pretty amazing stuff. I love the fact that I can listen to the original and classic rock versions of that track in sequence and not sense an inkling of repetition.

Friday Afternoon at Home
16 comments:
Today's pictures give off such a wonderful, warm feel! And that line!!!
"The air today tastes like a promise."
I think I can go the rest of the weekend without hearing a single word! I would simply let that sentence dance around in my mind and I would be happy, happy, happy!!!!
Can't wait to hear what you have to say about fear and writing. I will be patiently waiting. :)Thanks for your wonderful comments, my friends! You made my afternoon.
I promise to have that post about about fear and writing very soon. It's a very important topic for me at the moment! :)
Rie, the script font on the tabs and post titles is called Dancing Script and the font in the posts is Puritan. I was going for a clean, cheerful look for spring, and I'm so glad you like it.LOVELY, Gigi... and isn't it fun how some of the best photo shoots can happen just right at home?! Those white ranunculus are sweet...I love the dried look! And you had me with the old books. ;o) Looking forward to hearing more about your writing. I'm writing a lot these days too. And sharing lots of my own poetry and other writings at my blog along with paintings. Very exciting just now! Happy Days, my friend ((HUGS))
ReplyDeleteThe photo of the ranunculus (isn't that a great name) reminded me of a beautiful book by Zeva Oelbaum called Flowers In Shadow: A Photographer Rediscovers A Victorian Botanical Journal. Oelbaum found the journal on a visit to the antiques shop at the rear of Pointy Head Inn, near Bass Harbour, Maine (more delightful names). It contained specimens of the relevant plants still pressed between its pages, and ZO's photographs of these pages are atmospheric and beautiful.
I happened upon your blog just at the start of the year, and have enjoyed it very much; I have a feeling you'd fall in love with the book as I did when I came upon it by chance. Best wishes from Scotland, and here's to serendipity!The weekend has come and now we are approaching another. Your photos are pure delight, even the pitcher belonging to your sister. How kind of her to loan it to you just because you love it. Cherry blossoms are blooming outside my window and there is something definitely so magical about Springtime.

AMHERST, Mass. – Registration is now open for the one-day short course "Data Sciences for the Life Sciences in a High-Performance Computing Environment," sponsored by the University of Massachusetts Amherst Institute for Computational Biology, Biostatistics, and Bioinformatics (ICB3) to be held on Aug. 27 at the Holyoke-based Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center (MGHPCC).
The course at the new state-of-the-art facility dedicated to research-oriented computing will offer a foundational curriculum in life sciences research using R,an increasingly important open source statistical programming language. Content will emphasize the use of literate programming technologies and sound analytical principlesto facilitate high-performance computing for "big data" applications. The program is intended for New England-based industry and academic researchers in the life sciences.
Participants will learn how to use powerful tools for high-performance computational research using R, such as ggplot2, GitHub, knitr, R Markdown, multicore, RStudio, and Shiny. In addition, the program will offer life science researchers from the center's partner universities an opportunity to learn how to effectively use the MGHPCC for their own research and to connect with participants from diverse academic disciplines and industry settings.
The program is the first offering of the ICB3's Summer Training Institute in Reproducible Research with R (STIRRR) initiative. Nicholas Reich, assistant professor of biostatistics, and Andrea Foulkes, ICB3 director and associate professor of biostatistics, are co-directors of STIRRR and will present the program. They plan to cover: "Principles of Reproducible Research," "Introduction to Cluster Computing and Applications," "Simulation and Parallel Computing with R" and other "Topics in Big Data Sciences for the Life Sciences."
Foulkes says, "The availability of "big data" is transforming life sciences research and increasingly informing the development of tools and methods in biostatistics and bioinformatics. We are excited to present a program that supports researchers' efforts to expand their capabilities in this realm."

PALAQUESSON INDIANS. The Palaquesson (Alakea, Palaquessou, Palaquechaune, Paloguesson) Indians are known only from the records of the La Salle expedition, which indicate that in the latter part of the seventeenth century these Indians lived southwest of the Hasinai tribes, probably between the Brazos and Trinity rivers in the general vicinity of present Grimes County. At this time the Palaquessons made their living by hunting bison and growing corn, and they were reported as living in ten villages. La Salle thought that their language resembled that of the Hasinais, whom he had previously visited, and this suggests that the Palaquesson Indians were Caddoans.

Pre-Civil War records
slave importation declarations, plantation records, emancipation records, apprenticeship bonds for freedmen, Alabama hiring practices, census records, plantation owners' family records, church and cemetery records, military records, and Alabama court records.
Plantation records
Some plantation records mention slaves. The Family History Library has many plantation records on microfilm. These records are described in a series of booklets by Kenneth M. Stampp. Guides for Series A–M are available at the Family History Library:
- Stampp, Kenneth M., ed.A Guide to Records of Antebellum Southern Plantations from the Revolution through the Civil War: Series A–M, Selections from the Manuscript Department, Duke University Library. Frederick, Maryland: University Publications of America, 1986. ( Family History Library book 975 H2sm.) The Family History Library has microfilms of most of the records described in the guide. Alabama plantation records are scattered throughout.
For example, the booklet for Series F describes records of many plantations in Alabama and other states of the Deep South. The records were microfilmed at Duke University, in Durham, North Carolina. They are:
- Records of Ante-bellum Southern Plantations from the Revolution Through the Civil War: Series F, Selections from the Manuscript Department, Duke University Library. Frederick, Maryland: University Publications of America, 1986–1987. (On 84 Family History Library films beginning with 1549774.)
For a history of slavery in Alabama, see:
Sellers, James Benson. Slavery in Alabama. Tuscaloosa, Alabama: University of Alabama Press, 1950, 1994. (Family History Librarybook 976.1 F2s.) This 426 page book includes a bibliography, on pages 399–409.
Records of African-Americans may be listed as "colored" in birth, marriage and death records. See Alabama Birth, Marriage, and Death Records for those records
Civil War Records
A record was made of men of African descent who served in the Confederate Army:
Alabama. Department of Archives and History. Negroes in the Confederate Army, 1860–1907. (Family History Library film 1653243 item 4.) This source lists the name of the soldier and his duty. It may indicate the name of the slave owner, the date of pay, master's place of residence, where the soldier served in the military, and his military expenses.
Post-Civil War
Freedman's Records
An excellent source is the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company. This company was created to assist African-American soldiers of the Civil War and freed slaves. Freedman's Savings and Trust Company signature cards or registers from 3 March 1865 to 25 July 1874 may list the name of the depositor, date of entry, age, birthplace, residence, complexion, name of employer or occupation, wife or husband's name, death information, children's names, name of father and mother, brothers' and sisters' names, remarks, and signature. Early books sometimes contained the name of the former master or mistress and the name of the plantation. Copies of death certificates were sometimes attached to the entries. The collection is organized alphabetically by state, then city where the bank was located, then date the account was established, then account number.
Alabama had a branch of the Freedman's Savings and Trust Company in Huntsville and Mobile. In each city depositors are listed by account number. The records are in:
- Freedman's Savings and Trust Company (Huntsville, Alabama), Registers of Signatures of Depositors, 1865–1874. National Archives Microfilm Publications, M0816. Washington, D.C.: National Archives, 1969. (Family History Library film 928571.)
- Freedman's Savings and Trust Company (Mobile, Alabama). Registers of Signatures of Depositors, 1867–1874. National Archives Microfilm Publications, M0816. Washington, D.C.: National Archives, 1969. (Family History Library film 928572 .)
Freedman's Bureau
United States:Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands. Records of the Assistant Commissioner for Alabama, 1865–1869. National Archives Microfilm Publications, M0809. Washington, D.C.: National Archives, 1969. (Family History Library films 1612338–60.) These reports primarily contain statistical and historical information. For 1865 and 1866, the section on abandoned and confiscated lands (Family History Library film 1612358 ) includes the names of the owners of the plantations or homes that were abandoned, confiscated, or leased. It gives the county and location, a description of the house, the number of acres owned, and the number of cabins of former slaves. These films do not appear to contain the names of former slaves.
The separate Freedman's Bureau records do not usually name relatives or give genealogical information. They can be found in the Family History Library Catalog Subject Search under:
Slaves are sometimes mentioned in deeds (see "Land and Property"), wills (see "Probate Records"), tax records (see "Taxation"), and court order books (see "Court Records") under their owner's name. A few parish registers (see "Church Records") list slaves who attended church with their masters.
Reconstruction Era (1868-1878)
Reconstrucion in Alabama: Alabama's First Lawmakers
Reconstruction in Alabama: A Quick Summary
Jim Crow Era
Several biographical dictionaries, compendia, and histories may contain information you need, for example:
Black Biographical Dictionaries, 1790–1950. Alexandria, Virginia: Chadwyck-Healy, 1980. (On 1070 Family History Library fiche beginning with 6049870.) This publication is sometimes referred to as "The Black Biography Project." Three of the sources included in this collection are:
Bothe, Charles Octavius. The Cyclopedia of the Colored Baptists of Alabama: Their Leaders and Their Work. Birmingham, Alabama: Birmingham Alabama Publishing, 1895. (Family History Library fiche 6078965 [set of 3].) This book contains biographies, birth dates, parents' names, and sometimes pictures. It also provides information on associations and state conventions.
Mixon, Winfield Henri. History of the African Methodist Episcopal Church in Alabama, with Biographical Sketches. Selma, Alabama: A.M.E. Church Sunday School Union, 1902. (Family History Library fiche 6079113 [set of 3].) This book provides pictures, church minutes and history, and speeches. There is no index.
Moorman, Joseph H. and E. L. Barrett. Leaders of the Colored Race in Alabama. Mobile, Alabama: News Publishing, [198–?]. (Family History Library fiche 6079115 [set of 2].) This source contains biographical sketches with birth dates, educational information, a history of each minister's service, and a history of churches. It includes an index.
Military records of Alabama
Civil War
1862: Over 10,000 Alabama freedmen served as Union Soldiers
World War II (1941-1945)
- Combat Connected Naval Causalities, World War II, by States. Two Volumes. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1946. (Family History Library .)

Chemists have finally called off their 'work-to-rule' agitation. The resolve was reached after discussions with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and intervention by Raj Thackeray and Manohar Naik. The political leaders assured the chemists that the issue will be resolved as soon possible.
The FDA cracked down on chemists for not having a full time 'pharmacist' to sell prescription drugs. This move led to a standoff between the chemists and the government. They were refusing to budge from the 'work to rule' stand even as they were shutting shop at 6pm across the state.
Mahesh Zagade, FDA Commissioner said that 'Stop Sale' notices have been issued to 739 chemists from January this year after inspections found there was no pharmacist present during the sale of prescription drugs. Apart from this around 790 showcause notices have also been issued to chemists directing them to explain why their licenses should not be suspended. The Pune division, under the aegis of B R Masaal, Joint Commissioner, stated that around 631 shops were inspected and 88 'Stop Sale' notices issued as there were no pharmacist present.
Zagade said the inspections were in accordance with the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and while there are 1.30 lakh pharmacists available in the state, a survey in Mumbai and Thane found that at least 34% of the 51,000-odd chemists shops did not have pharmacists. He said that at the time of applying for licence, chemists take an undertaking to appoint full-time pharmacists, but our random inspections show another story.
The chemists' association had not officially called for a shut down, but Anil Navander, general secretary of the state chemists and druggists association categorically stated that it was a spontaneous reaction of chemists to down shutters across the state. The same situation was seen last year when chemists had threatened agitations as they had experienced alleged harassment by FDA officials in the name of tackling female foeticide. Mahendra Pitaliya, convener of the Pune district chemists' association said there were around 6,000 chemists in the district. After their subsequent agitations last year, FDA had assured the chemists that they would adhere to a more practical approach on the issue.

"BARDA's award covering the development of TP-434 brings the total federal funding in support of the development of Tetraphase's antibiotics to more than $100 million," said Guy Macdonald, president and chief executive officer of Tetraphase. "Tetraphase and CUBRC are proud to play an important role in addressing the global concerns of bioterrorism and antibiotic resistance via the development of potential solutions to these growing threats to human health."
The BARDA contract includes pre-clinical efficacy and toxicology studies; clinical studies; manufacturing activities; and associated regulatory activities to position the broad-spectrum antibiotic TP-434 as a potential empiric countermeasure for the treatment of inhalational disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, Francisella tularensis and Yersinia pestis. In parallel, TP-434 is being developed as a potential therapeutic agent for serious hospital infections, including those caused by multidrug-resistant aerobic and/or anaerobic gram-negative and gram-positive pathogens.
The contract includes a 12-month base period with committed funding of $11.5 million and subsequent option periods that, if completed, would bring the total value of the award to approximately $67 million.
About TP-434
TP-434, the lead product candidate in Tetraphase's clinical pipeline, is a potent new antibiotic effective against multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens like Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. TP-434 is also effective against a broad spectrum of other difficult-to-treat and MDR pathogens, including gram-positive bacteria like methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), anaerobic species like Clostridium difficile, and atypical species like Legionella that grow inside human cells. TP-434's spectrum and pharmacokinetic properties are consistent with its use as a once-daily monotherapy. Preliminary phase 1 data have shown that TP-434 also has the potential to be developed as an oral therapy. TP-434 I.V. is currently in phase 2 clinical development for cIAI, complicated intra-abdominal infections.

If there's nothing wrong with me…maybe there's something wrong with the universe!
-Beverly Crusher, Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Remember Me"
I heard this the other day: "Scientists have faith in their assumptions." Not. To get at understanding science and faith I think we need to do some house cleaning. What is faith? To explore this question our first order of business will be to throw out the Lectures on Faith. They weren't written by Joseph Smith, they aren't part of the scriptural cannon, and they've done a lot of damage. So with a bit of impish delight I give them the old heave-ho. Yet, so much of our discourse with each other in the church seems informed by this work's misconceptions & digressions. It makes us say things like: "The farmer has faith that if he plants his wheat seeds in the Spring, it will turn into a fruitful harvest in the Fall." or "Because I have faith in the laws of electricity and wiring, I am motivated to go through the actions of flipping on the light." Thus faith of this sort provides motivations to act in a world of uncertainty. This is dangerous and silly.
When I was on my mission, we were encouraged to read the harmful works of Grant von Harrison to learn how faith works. Faith was kind of a positive mental attitude that disavows any doubts and which combined with exacting obedience constrains God to do your bidding. If we had faith we would baptize, have good mission stats, and in general be highly successful missionaries. Eventually, after our missions, the application of these principles would make us rich. We all were going to be millionaires just like our mission president. So they would say 'have faith' and I would squint my eyes and try really really really hard to do it. Do what? Yes, exactly. That was the problem.
Here's my take. We know everything has its opposite, light/darkness, open/closed, elves/orcs, etc. What is the opposite of faith? The temptation is to say, 'doubt.' This is the way we talk, "Overcome your doubts", "Don't doubt, have faith", "I know beyond a shadow of a doubt." This is unfortunate because doubts are the very structure of faith. As Paul Tillich has noted, faith is not really found except in the presence of doubt. Faith always stands vis-à-vis doubt. Doubt provides the contours and negative space in which faith is found. Faith is always embedded in doubt. How can we make a leap of faith if there is no chasm?
The 911 twin-tower highjackers didn't have any doubts. They did not have faith either.
The trouble is that Lectures on Faith perspective sees faith as a kind of inference. That if I see the sun rise everyday in the past, I can have faith that it will rise tomorrow. That's not faith that's induction. There is a difference. Faith can't mean to line up the reasons to believe something, notice you are a little short on reasons but believe anyway. Accepting Pascal's Wager is not faith (if you haven't heard this wager check out wikipedia).
This is what I think. Faith is never a "I have faith that . . ." it is always a "I have faith in . . ." Faith by my lights is a relationship–with someone. I have faith in my wife's love for me. I can have faith in God. I can never know that my wife is not a CIA agent on long-term assignment and been assigned to me by the government to pretend to love me (it is possible, just unlikely—or is it?). But my faith in her allows me to believe that isn't the case. Faith 'in' allows me to make such inferences, but they are not the inferences themselves. The inference to a 'that' are not the same as faith 'in'. Faith then, along with those things which make up a cluster of family resemblances like, hope, trust, courage, love all involve relationships with others. We can have faith in God, but not faith "that God will . . ."
Faith 'that something is the case' is just a confusion with probability and inference. Inference is a good way to make bets. It's not faith. Faith is a relationship.
Obviously this needs a little development. But it gets me started on some views of science and faith. Because science is all about doubts.
One night about a year ago I could hear my nine-year-old daughter crying upstairs. I asked what was wrong. She burst into a flood of more tears and said that in primary they had said you should never doubt that Jesus was real and that he loved you. She said in a heart breaking voice, "But sometimes I do doubt it. I do and can't help it. Is he mad at me?" The question captures what I mean by faith. She doubted, but she was worried about her relationship with who it was she was doubting. I told her to hang on to her doubts. "They are what make your faith real." Without doubts, I told her it's not faith. In the morning she looked up from her cereal and said, "I'm hanging onto my doubts!" I told her good job. Keep it up.

Carlos Watkins' cousin gets Clemson offer |
by David Hood - Senior Writer - 2012-02-24 16:33:58.0 |
One of the offers that Dane Rogers had been waiting on came in Friday afternoon.
Rogers, the 6-3, 235-pound 4-star defensive end out of Shelby (N.C.) Crest, said his high school coach gave him the good news as he was leaving school Friday afternoon.
"I talked to my coach about an hour ago, and he says, 'You know Coach [Dan Brooks] just called me and wanted you to know that you have an offer from Clemson.' So that was good to hear," Rogers told TigerNet shortly after the offer. "I kind of felt like I already had an offer from them because we have been in contact, but now it's official. Now I know for a fact that I have an offer from Clemson and I am very excited about that."
Rogers says he has offers from N.C. State, Clemson, Tennessee and North Carolina, and has a few visits lined up over the next few weeks.
"I plan on going to Wake Forest tomorrow for their junior day," he said. "And I hope to get down to Florida next weekend, and then getting back to N.C. State and Clemson. I also plan on getting to Tennessee sometime this spring, because they want me to come down and get familiar with the coaches. Right now, they have a new sports facility that is just for football and I really want to see that."
He says that Clemson, however, is recruiting him the hardest.
"Coach Brooks is the one that I talk to the most," he said. "Since I went down there for Clemson's junior day, Clemson has been on me really hard. I talk with Coach [Marion] Hobby more now, too."
Rogers is the cousin of 2012 Clemson signee Carlos Watkins, and the former teammate of 2012 Florida signees Jonathan Bullard and Rhaheim Ledbetter.
Watkins is just one of the reasons that Rogers likes Clemson, however.
"The environment is outstanding," he said. "At Clemson it is all about the atmosphere. They have great coaches and I like all the players. My cousin Carlos just signed with them and I am really excited about that. I am planning on going back down there in the fall to see him play at the next level. The facilities are outstanding. It is all about those Tigers, 24/7. I like it a lot."
Rogers, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.8 seconds, says he doesn't have a favorite at this point.
"As for right now, I don't really have a leader," he said. "I am really open in this recruiting business. Right now, I want to give everybody a chance. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me, and I want to take advantage of that."

I don't know of anyone in either generation dying to get their groove on to Lapti Nek. Good news, though, "in the dancing mini-game, some female characters perform suggestive moves (e.g., gyrating their hips/buttocks) and wear revealing outfits (partially exposed cleavage/buttocks).

140 Alex: More Good News!
140 Alex, on the corner of Alexander Street and Broadway, is one of Rochester's busiest nightclubs! On weekends ( starting on Thursday nights ), the ample parking lot is loaded with the cars of people seeking its particular brands of entertainment. Sure, it has a pool table ( most "respectable" bars do ), but its 140′s other brands of entertainment that pack the house. It can be as simple as karaoke, or "Naughty Adult Trivia."
Most exciting of all is the entertainment offered on weekends by Rochester's famous faux femmes fatale: appetizing Ambrosia Salad, Poison Waters ( a "lady" with a definite attitude ) and the irrepressible Miranda Richards, as well as a host of others! Why not try and see life from a different angle?
A few months ago, Rochester entrepreneurs Scott Starkweather, Ken Hampton and David Walton ( who operate the "Street Meat" stand next to 140 on nights and weekends ) opened up the dining room on 140′s second floor. This is on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights. Besides the sit down menu, they offered a small bar menu for patrons who felt like munching on something, but weren't up to having a whole dinner. This is what one might consider to be "typical" bar fare: burgers, dogs, wings and fingers. They have also included wraps, panninis and quesadillas on the menu. They are all freshly prepared, and it sure beats the devil out of a couple of bags of chips or pretzels!
Apparently, the demand for bar fare took off! Scott, Ken and David will now be offering their bar menu 7 days a week from 5 until 9! And on Fridays and Saturdays ( for old times' sake ), their "Street Meat" stand will be in operation from 11 PM until 2 AM!
Our three "Merry Men" must be doing something right!
When you get the late night munchies and you're in the area, 140 Alex would be well worth checking out!
Remember: these are local businessmen trying to make a living here. They are investing in this city, in the community. Shopping and buying locally has a positive effect on the local economy, even if it is only a hot dog or a hamburger!
Besides, you have to eat sometime!

- //The Album Leaf
Jimmy LaValle from the band Tristeza goes to Iceland and becomes Icelandic, calls himself the Album Leaf. What a beautiful thing is modern music that an American pop musician has become so indebted to the strange, spectral sonic sounds of such a distant, harrowing land half-covered in ice and tundra and alcoholics. For every erratic, nonsensical nixing of a cultural product via globalism, we also receive unexpected little gifts like this one, where the sons of the dominant voice (i.e., American) choose to pay tribute to the poetic murmur of the so-called "other". In the case of In a Safe Place (surely a reference to the arid, lowly populated landscape where he recorded the album), LaValle has adopted the charming guileless ambient pop of Iceland's Mum, the wishy-washy guitar crescendos of Sigur Ros, and so on (Bjork). Considering the disappointing attempt Mum has made at a darker, more lugubrious and European sound on their very newest record, the Album Leaf has even transcended his arctic influences.
The album is stitched together so finely, the songs hardly distinguish themselves from the overall pace, which is slow and summery, and the constructions, which vary between listless nowheresville ambience and introverted pop melodies. To say that the album resembles an expensive Mulholland Drive garden, the kind meticulously landscaped by medium-wage potheads and botany fetishists, is to say that the organic elements are the most precise. Every guitar chord is planted in just the right place to shine with prismatic luster on the senses. Meanwhile, the digitalia is left to grow wild, tangling itself like wire and plastic and concrete slabs littered across the soundscape. For LaValle, the laptop brings the chaos we normally expect from nature, while he form-fits nature to the conceptual.
"Window" opens the album as gently as a pane of glass fogged by breath. The record is full of moments as evanescent as this one. It's the soft blending of details, from track to track that make the album feel less like a series of songs but an uninterrupted fantasy, shaded of hothouse color. Perhaps it's in the coloration that the music begins to feel like a landscape more than a rock 'n' roll extrapolation. Where Greg Davis's newest album Curling Pond Woods suggests a scene from rural Vermont, catching ambient cloud-drift and plucky guitar from the forests and wetlands, LaValle found his influence in the vast, spiritually open lands of Iceland, green grass forever, punctuated by rock. You can see the arc of the world in Iceland. You can hear it in the Album Leaf. But the difference between this and Sigur Ros is that LaValle's landscape is much more organized. It's a fabrication of Iceland, rather than a direct conversation. Sigur Ros are in tune with the lurch and flow of the earth. Mum float across the cold skies beside migrating birds. The Album Leaf is a representation of both these subjects, but not a part of them. That's okay. The record is an amazing example of what an outsider can introduce to the performative styles of an outside world through respectful imitation.

Press Releases
Third annual MasterCard Canada Priceless Index focuses on Canadian attitudes and outlooks for the future
Toronto, ON, June 15, 2004 – Just in time for Canada Day, MasterCard Canada has released the results of its third annual MasterCard Canada Priceless Index, a national survey of Canadians on their perceptions of Canada and its place in the world. The 2004 Priceless Index finds Canadians proud of their nation and citing freedom as the most priceless Canadian value.
When asked what it is about Canadian values that is most priceless to them, the most frequent response was freedom (24%) followed by tolerance (6%), and multiculturalism (5%.) More than half (55%) of Canadians consider themselves first and foremost as a citizen of Canada, rather than a citizen of the world (15%), or of their province (13%) or local community (13%.)
What keeps Canadians up at night? The times they are a
When asked to name the biggest threats to Canada's future, almost one
third (31%) of Canadians cited war and terrorism. This marks a
significant shift from the first Priceless Index in 2002 when economic
issues (25%) were seen as the greatest threat and terrorism was
selected by only 18 per cent of respondents.
Maintaining independence from the United States and U.S. influence was the second most frequently named threat (25%) this year, as it has been in the past. In fact, the perception of this threat is up from 20 per cent in 2002.
"The 2004 Priceless Index gives great insight as to what it means to be Canadian," said Kevin Stanton, President, MasterCard Canada. "In the current environment, Canadians value their freedom and feel peacekeeping is the greatest asset they have to offer the world, and for those reasons, Canadians stand proud."
What makes Canada priceless?
As Canada Day quickly approaches, one-third of Canadians (31%)
identified the Canadian flag as the most priceless Canadian symbol.
- Only Quebecers identified the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (35%) above the Canadian flag (23%.)
- Western Canada will have to wait another year to honour their national symbol – 18 per cent believe hockey truly is Canada's national symbol.
When considering how Canadians are perceived internationally, 30 per cent believe the one word that best describes them is "friendly". This holds true in all regions, with Atlantic Canada most in favour (39%.) While Quebecers also support that friendly feeling (20%), "peaceful" was ranked a close second (18%.)
Give peace a chance
Almost one-third (30%) of Canadians believe Canada's peacekeeping and
peacefulness is the greatest contribution we have to offer the world; a
point of view that has strengthened since 2002 when 25 per cent cited
it. Humanitarian aid was the second most popular response this year at
14 per cent.
"With the Priceless Index now in its third year, we're seeing some evolution in opinions, but the fundamental perceptions of Canada's role as a peaceful, tolerant nation endure, said Derek Leebosh, Senior Research Associate, Environics Research Group.
About the survey
This national survey of 2,000 Canadians 18 years of age and over was
carried out by telephone between April 26 and May 7, 2004 by Environics
Research Group on behalf of MasterCard Canada. Results to a survey of
this size can be considered accurate to within plus or minus 2.2
percent, nineteen times out of twenty.

A Trackback is a type of Linkback – a method for Web authors to request notification when somebody links to one of their documents. This enables authors to keep track of who is linking, and so referring, to their articles. There are three methods of Linkback – Refback, Trackback and Pingback – and they differ in how they accomplish the task.
Trackback might also refer colloquially to items within a section upon the linked page that display the received notifications, usually along with a reciprocal link. Also, the word Trackback is often used colloquially to mean any kind of Linkback.
So, when you reference a post on someone else's blog in one of your posts, using the trackback URL will ensure the other blog author will be notified. This notification will generally appear in the comments section of their post.
For more details – see the Ultimate Trackback Help Guide.

Love isn't playing that well this year...he's becoming injury prone...and he's becoming whiny...it'll either give some GMs pause or might make him lose some value.
Love isn't playing that well this year...he's becoming injury prone...and he's becoming whiny...it'll either give some GMs pause or might make him lose some value.
Well we all know what type of numbers can put up... I believe the reason he is whining is because he plays for Minnesota...Once he gets here, I'm sure his attitude would change.
I wonder if we could get away with doing Martin, Collison, and two non-Toronto picks. Nobody is a fan of giving up Collison, I know, but MIN would probably demand it (to at least get some production to replace Love). And if we kept Ibaka AND Perkins, there wouldn't be much space for Collison anyway (Perk would come off the Bench and Ibaka would start the 5).Originally Posted by vrortiz405 View Post
No way Minny we do a trade for K Love without getting Ibaka. No way we would do a trade without giving up Perk's salary. Since neither wants to do either of those things, this trade seems unrealistic.
The following users like this post: SoonerRO
The way I see it, the only way we win in a trade for Love is if the relationship between Minny's front office and Love becomes toxic like Dwight-Orlando last year. After giving away Harden this org isn't going to give away Ibaka especially with his ceiling for development. You give away both Perk and Ibaka, and you lose the interior defense that this team has built around, and you return to the same interior defensive woes we had in the Nenad/Green era.
Hitting the road for quite a few games, need to take care of business against the shitty Raptors and Wizards.
Another no name catching fire against the Thunder. Alan Anderson is 6-6 and 4-4 from 3!
Ugh, I hate these nooner games.
If I see that scrub hit one more three against us, I'm going to vomit.

So much for the "we'll live with Ibaka taking outside shots" line of thinking.
Teams now close out hard on the Ibaka pick and pop.

Eh, 8-3 in their last 11, including the loss to OKC. Of their wins, only two came against winning teams. Houston and Portland. Both wins at home, against two really poor road teams.Originally Posted by WFSooner View Post
Oklahoma City's schedule is going to get easier. We have the 8th easiest schedule remaining.
That seems strange because all I've heard so far this year is that the schedule we've played has been easy. Now we have an easy schedule to finish. Guess we're just lucky that way.
I guess. 20 games were against teams with winning records when we've played them. (counts teams like Philly, boston, charlotte) OKC is now 13-7 vs. those teams. OKC is 13-0 vs. teams under .500.Originally Posted by aaron7 View Post
Get through the January 16-31 slate of games and it evens out really nicely. That stretch will be tough though.
OKC's schedule was pretty easy through November, but December added some games, and other teams have proven to be "tougher" than thought (like Houston).
OKC, according to Hollinger's power rankings, has had the 12th most difficult schedule. We're the lowest ranked team to have played a schedule where our opponents combine to be over .500 (.503).
The teams above us include, and in this order: NOH (.545), DEN, SAS, HOU, SAC, LAC, MEM, UTA, BRK, LAL, BOS (.508)
That's great though: creates better offensive spacing overall and unclogs the middle.Originally Posted by SG1 View Post
Not much can shut down an offense faster than a defense not having to respect your mid- and long-range game.
Yep. It didn't happen yesterday, but Ibaka has taken a three-pointer in 6 out of the last 8 games (hit 3 of them)...the more places on the floor that Ibaka is a threat, the more open Westbrook and Durant will be as well as the other players on the floor. Hopefully by the end of the year, Ibaka developing a mid-range game will open up the post a little more for Perkins to get an easy 4 to 6 points per game.Originally Posted by OUMallen View Post

Bankruptcy court is the last place people would have expected to find Ronald Ashley McMaster.
An heir to a modern Toledo industrial fortune, his family's name hangs on the side of a building at the University of Toledo.
He and his wife, Carolyn, own a house in Perrysburg's tony Hamlet, a $1 million place in the Lake Erie resort community of Catawba Island, and interest in a condominium on Sanibel Island, Fla.
But yesterday, the president of Toledo's McMaster Motor Co. filed for protection from creditors in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Toledo.
His Chapter 7 petition listed $23 million in debts and $1 million in assets.
Mr. McMaster, son of the late inventor and industrialist Harold McMaster, blames his financial problems on the failure of Continental Capital Corp., Sylvania, and alleged wrongdoing involving founder and former president, William C. Davis.
Mr. Davis couldn't be reached for comment. His attorney, Peter Kelley, didn't respond to a message left at his Ann Arbor office.
Mr. McMaster lost $2 million invested with Continental Capital and, as a one-time member of its board of directors, has been sued for more than $20 million by its clients and creditors, the bankruptcy filing stated.
Mr. McMaster referred questions to lawyer Thomas Schank, who didn't return a phone call.
But in a letter to friends explaining the bankruptcy filing, Mr. McMaster wrote: "I am truly sorry that I did not understand what was happening in time to salvage the situation."
In the letter obtained by The Blade from his spokesman, he said: "If any good comes of this situation, hopefully it will be that people who read this letter understand what has happened to me and take a more active and critical role in the management of their financial affairs."
Mr. McMaster, who is vice chairman of the board of trustees at Owens Community College, wrote that he wanted friends to know "how and why this happened, and I want you to get the information directly from me."
Mr. McMaster said he has lost his life savings just as he was approaching his golden years, and largely blamed Mr. Davis.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, in a civil complaint July 9, accused Mr. Davis of investing clients money without their permission, steering client funds into firms in which he was involved as an owner or in some other capacity, and diverting clients funds for his own use.
Mr. Davis is also the subject of a federal criminal probe.
Continental Capital clients have filed $20 million in claims with the Securities Investor Protection Corp., a government agency that is overseeing the firm's liquidation under bankruptcy court supervision.
Mr. Davis, a former trustee of the Medical College of Ohio, has denied any wrongdoing.
Among investors with whom he was involved were leading Toledo physicians and business executives including Paul Ormond, chairman of Toledo's Manor Care, Inc.

Déjà Vu All Over Again?

ideas for my jeep
I have been toying with the idea of what to do with my 76, CJ-7 jeep as far as purpose goes, mud, rocks. It is a daily driver and I use it for a lot of different things. I do not like to mud all too much, messy and destrucctive. But I was looking for a setup that would benefit my onroad ride as well as off-road ride. I was looking at some pictures of race trucks and thought that there might be some benefit to going with that style of off-road setup. I want a suspension that I can build as money permits. I liked that way that those trucks flew over the hills and just squated on impact, never slowing down. I was just wondering if ya'll had any suggestions as to mods I might want to perform on the jeep to help it ride,fly better. Some of the present mods are 33' tires/400hp.350/2.5"susp,1.25"shackle lift(I know I will get rid of the shackle lift for a body lift)/ five point harnes'/fixing to get sway bar discos/ full cage. I know that you don't build one of these trucks over night but I am just looking for input. ie. What kind of shock for a multipurpose daily driver, RS9000's?, and are there any suggestions ya'll have for on road manners? THANX Lee R. Byrd |

Re: ideas for my jeep
Shackle-reversal! And make sure your tires are set to the right air pressure. For a typical CJ-7 that can be 25-30lbs. With such a short-wheelbase, little Jeeps tend to get squirelly on washboard roads and such. Also you will have to address balancing the vehichle. The only way I can keep my YJ from landing on the shackles is to have a full tank of gas and two friends in the back!

Re: ideas for my jeep
With the racing setups, you're best bet is shocks, shocks and shocks... A good set of correctly valved, reservoir, Bilsteins, Fox, Sway-A-Way or King would do wonders. Anything custom you do is going to co$t you some $$$. But it sounds like you already know that, and it's good you're aware of it! J.R.
