Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.

How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
Allaying Parental Fears About Evolution Education in Public Schools
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Daniel Harrell on Embracing Science
In this video, Pastor Daniel Harrell encourages the Christian community to embrace science as an element which can harmonize and strengthen, rather than attack and undermine their understanding of theology.
Using Film to Catalyze Conversations on Faith and Science
What are the best ways to spark productive conversations about science and faith? Certainly there are books, articles, blogs (like this one), and podcasts. But there are particular advantages to using film.
Freedom and Grace in Tennessee
Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
Randomness and Evolution: Is There Room for God? (Videocast)

High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
The Sorrows and Joys of Teaching Evolution at an Evangelical Christian University
As a biology professor, I have the profound privilege of teaching the principles of evolutionary biology to a variety of students. As one might expect, teaching this subject matter at times engenders controversy, crises of faith, anger and fear in students (and others).
Series: Evolution and Faith: Communicating Compatibility in Christian Higher Ed
This series contains four sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of science and faith as it relates to Christian higher education. In the first post, Richard Colling (author of Random Designer) speaks on strategic ways to teach the evolution issue in a Christian classroom setting. In the second blog, Andrew Chignell discusses an article that suggests hermeneutical charity in Wheaton College's creedal statements in areas of reasonable disagreement. In the third section, Darrel Falk looks at Ken Ham's State of the Nation address in which Mr. Ham criticizes Calvin College. Falk also examines an article written by a young college freshman to the school newspaper at Calvin College and offers constructive advice. The last blog is Daniel Camacho's letter to Ken Ham.
Worshiping, Growing, and Learning
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.

Series: God and Creation
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced

KING — Mount Airy swept West Stokes 9-0 in tennis Thursday, keeping its Northwest Conference record perfect.
The Lady Bears (11-2, 8-0) gave up just three games in singles play.
Coach Scott Kniskern said he couldn't attend because he was taking part in the Chairman's Cup Golf Tournament sponsored by the Greater Mount Airy Chamber of Commerce. Boys Coach Rodney Pell is assistant for the girls team and led the squad down in Kniskern's place.
Top seed Jordan Jackson won 6-0, 6-1 over Leah Shelton. Second seed Davi Barbour won 6-1, 6-0 over McKayla Newsome.
Jade Hughes swept the third match 6-0, 6-0 versus Abbey Emerson. Sister Bree also swept her games against Mariah Maynard in the fifth slot.
Fourth seed Haley Thomas beat Abbey Westmoreland 6-0, 6-1. Sixth seed Carley Vanhoy won 6-0, 6-0 over Erin Kye.
In doubles play, Mount Airy kept its top doubles team together, but went to its bench in the other two matches.
Barbour and Thomas lost their first three games, but then rebounded with an 8-1 run to defeat Shelton/Emerson.
Jade Hughes paired with India Inman to sweep Newsome/Westmoreland 8-0.
Jai Daniels and Sarah Kirkpatrick won 8-6 over Maynard/Kye.
The Lady Bears have two home matches next week. They host North Stokes on Tuesday and Bishop McGuinness on Thursday.

An important obligation of science teachers is to provide students with appropriate eye protection. All safety goggles and glasses must comply with ANSI Z 87.1 – 2003. Only safety goggles and/or glasses marked with "Z 87.1" should be purchased; the "Z 87.1" mark will appear on the frame or the lens. As a responsible teacher, you must select eyewear that provides you and your students with the most appropriate protection for the hazards of your science activities. Many states have specific eye protection laws. Regardless, teachers owe their students a duty of care. A teacher must reasonably address all foreseeable dangers inherent in any laboratory experiment or demonstration that will be performed in the science laboratory or classroom. A teacher must also instruct and ensure that students demonstrate the proper use of protective equipment.
Protection of the eyes is essential in any laboratory activity. Eye protection is required (but not limited to):
Eye protection is a must in any hazardous laboratory activity or demonstration in science. Effective eye protection must include adequate instruction on the hazards of the particular activity and of the precautions to be followed to reduce the risk of injury. It must also include instructions and modeling of the protective equipment.
Ordinary spectacles or safety glasses, with side shields or without side shields, provide adequate protection for laboratory activities involving use of solids such as meter sticks, projectiles, etc.
Only safety goggles provide the level of protection needed for your laboratory activities when dealing with hazardous liquids or solids. A safety goggle fits the face surrounding the eyes snugly; the goggle should have a soft pliable flange, which seals around the eyes snugly to protect the eyes from a variety of hazards.
There are three major types of safety goggles:
Some goggles have hoods or caps over the vent openings that can be flipped up or screwed to an open position. When the vents of these direct- or indirect-vented goggles are in the "open" position, the goggles are direct vented; therefore impact goggles.
Chemical-splash goggles should be the standard for eye protection when chemicals, glassware, a heating source, or preserved specimens are being used.
The American Chemical Society Committee on Chemical Safety states that contact lenses can be worn in the laboratory provided that approved eye protection is worn as required of others in the laboratory.
The National Institute for Occupational Health and Safety (NIOSH) recommends that workers be permitted to wear contact lenses when handling hazardous chemicals provided adequate face and eye protection is worn.
The Council of State Science Supervisors states that contact lenses can be worn provided "specially marked, non-vented safety goggles are available to contact lens wearers".
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) believes that contact lenses do not pose additional hazards to the wearer and has determined that additional regulation addressing the use of contact lenses is unnecessary. The agency wants to make it clear, however, that contact lenses are not eye protection devices. If eye hazards are present, appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of, or in conjunction with, contact lenses." Regulations (Preamble to Final Rules) Personal Protective Equipment for General Industry (Amended Final Rule, April 1994) Section 3- III Summary and Explanation of the Final Rule 1910.133 p. 16343.
Provision and Maintenance of PPE - 29 CFR §1910.132(d) Personal Protective Equipment, General Requirements Standard requires a hazard assessment to determine PPE needs and teachers must be trained in use and care of goggles. Teachers must also train their students in proper use and sanitation of goggles. Sanitation of goggles is accomplished best by usage of a UV cabinet. Treatment with UV light will destroy the goggles over several years. Hot soapy water and thorough drying between usage of shared goggles is also recommended by the ACS.

The teacher must make a judgment in selection of the appropriate protective equipment so that the protection is greater than the estimated hazards.

School laboratories should include "protective apparel compatible with the required degree of protection for substances being handled."

Eye Protection
Always, when hazardous chemicals are used or handled, when glassware is used or handled, when flames are involved, all persons present, whether or not they are doing the handling or using, must wear eye protection.
… Only safety goggles known as CHEMICAL-SPLASH GOGGLES marked with code "Z 87" provide the kind of protection that is needed.
8. Goggle Safety. Flinn Scientific Co., 2008.
"Just because eyewear meets Z 87.1 standards does not mean it provides adequate protection from the dangers of splashed chemicals. Eyewear that does not provide a complete snug seal around the eyes may be fine for some activities but not when using hazardous chemicals. When vent openings are provided on splash goggles, the vents should be indirect with covers and/or baffles preventing straight line passage of liquids into the goggles."

heyy guys...m in da same boat...my baby is 3weeks and 3daz now n she wants to be nursed all da time...after 1 to 2 hours of nursing she still sucks her fingers n seems totally hungry n cries if she doesnt get it right away...i hav no doubt abt my milk as i hav an over abundant supply ..n nursing her so often is making me leak more n as a result my baby is so gassy...she is so uncomfortable n passing gas quite often...m doing all da burping..giving one breast at a time n using oval drops as well...nothing seems to work:(
plus i hav a badly hurting tail bone since her birth n its so difficult to constantly feed her n shes still not satisfied..its so frustrating n upsetting....i plan to give her bottle but waiting for 6 weeks.shd i give her a pacifier meanwhile??will it effect breast feeding??bcz she is still not latchng properly no matter wat i do..but its not painful at all plus shez gaining weight n hav normal wet n poppy diapers...is it ok dis way???
I know this is an old post, but mine ALWAYS did this and still does now at 5 months and a healthy 18lbs and 28 1/2 inches (so not starving lol). I too was always freaking out that he was starving and my supply was low.
I am not suggesting you or anyone else do this, but the only thing that helped for us ws for me to give him a full nurse, then top him off with formula twice per day, just a few ounces. That is the only way he will go a full 3-4 hours between nursing during the day.
My son has nursed for a full 2 1/2 hours, no joke. I can put on a movie and by the end of the movie he is still latched and sucking. I let him because it allows me to be able to sit and watch a movie, and it helps boost my supply.
Some babies have a high sucking need, and mine is one of them. Last night I was sleeping on my back and I awoke to my son trying to latch himself on to my breast at 3 am! (we co-sleep).
If his growth and weight gain are good, his wet and poopy are good, your milk is fine and you just have one of those babies that love to nurse.
I need help too. I have a 5 week old son who is contantly fussy after nursing. I have been pumping too & it seems that he is not getting enough off of me when he BF. If I give him pumped milk from a bottle he seems to get more & acts more satisfied. I'd like to just BF because it is easier but I don't want to spend all day doing it. Any suggestions would be great.
I did nothing but breastfeed my baby, she only got formula once or twice and that was only because I was really ill and my husband couldn't wake me up at feeding time. After her first two weeks she hadn't gotten back up to her birth weight, her peditrician told us to supplement with formula, and within a week she back up to her birth weight. She said she was getting enough breast milk to stay hydrated and nurished but wasn't getting enough to put on weight. Since we supplemented with formula my supply has gone way down. My LO would nurse for over an hour between both sides and would still be hungry, I would get her to latch back on for another 10-15 minutes and she'd still be hungry, I'd offer her formula and she would down 4 oz. She is now 5.4 weeks old and will eat 4-6 oz of formula, I've been letting her nurse and I pump as much as I can. It would take me all day pumping just to get an ounce out, I took fenugreek for a few days at the suggestion of a lactation consultant and it increased my supply only a bit, it now took me all day to get 4 ounces out. It's a bit frustrating because everyone tells me not to give her formula and just let her nurse for as long as she wants that will get my supply up to what she needs. I just don't want her to starve, her pediatrician said at this point since she is now gaining weight well, its ok to switch her to formula and not to feel guilty about it. For me I was formula fed and as long as she is growing, I'm ok with only formula fed. She is a little tongued tied, and I was told that could cause issues with breastfeeding, she takes a bottle very well, mostly because I think she doesn't have to put as much effort into and its not making her tongue tired. Plus when she does nurse, I have enough of me in her and it feels like she's only getting the nipple at her tongue.

Every parent knows the feeling: It all goes by so quickly. You're newlyweds, then you're the parents of small children. Turn around again and you're empty-nesters. And then ... grandparents.
My wife and I are grandparents now, and everyone who knows us knows we're madly in love with our granddaughter. Give me five minutes and I'll show her picture, followed by those of our beloved pets. There is nothing more important to me than being a good husband, a good father, a good grandfather -- and, yes, a good veterinarian.
From the vantage point of seeing so many children grow up to have children of their own, I offer five things this veterinarian (father, grandfather and husband of more than 30 years) wants every parent to know about pets and children.
Your Pet Can Be Your Child's Best Friend
Pets are nonjudgmental, loyal, loving and always excited to be with their people. Unlike classmates, friends or even, at times, family members, a pet will love your child unconditionally. Rich or poor, tall or short, under- or overweight, porcelain skin or pimples, smart or struggling in class, popular or pariah, athlete or academic: We all need unconditional love. Pets are also doggedly loyal; a pet will never leave your child because he's tired or a better offer came along.
Pets Teach Responsibility
Animals need to be fed, watered, groomed, exercised and played with, and they need medical care and love. They're not like the newest video game or toy that can be enjoyed for a while and then left to be forgotten on a shelf. Although you should never allow a pet to be cared for exclusively or primarily by a child, pets can help children understand how to nurture. Pets need care, constantly and consistently, and they teach children to give to others.

- Wastewater D
Capital investment needs for the nation's wastewater and stormwater systems are estimated to total $298 billion over the next twenty years. Pipes represent the largest capital need, comprising three quarters of total needs. Fixing and expanding the pipes will address sanitary sewer overflows, combined sewer overflows, and other pipe-related issues. In recent years, capital needs for the treatment plants comprise about 15%-20% of total needs, but will likely increase due to new regulatory requirements. Stormwater needs, while growing, are still small compared with sanitary pipes and treatment plants. Since 2007, the federal government has required cities to invest more than $15 billion in new pipes, plants, and equipment to eliminate combined sewer overflows.

CD/LP/Track Review
Josť Rizo's Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars: Tambolero (2007)
All-star bands create music that brims with possibilities; yet the outcome runs the risk of positive or negative results. Combining high caliber musicians brings expectations of powerful music. Experience gives these artists knowledge and skill, increasing the chance of memorable music. When distinctive artists join forces, a possible mismatch can also occur. Groups sometimes lack a central focus, and the resultant recordings capture grand jam sessions. Each musician's individual approach shines through, but the voices never gel. José Rizo's Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars emphasizes positive results on Tambolero, bringing Los Angeles' top Latin jazz musicians together into an outstanding big band.
Rizo's musical voice provides focus to several strong jazz tracks. An open feeling permeates "Granizo, leading into an up-tempo rhythmic melody. A woodwind soli launches saxophonist Justo Almario's energetic statement, accentuated by powerful brass punches. A thin texture accompanies the 6/8 rhythm on "Señor Olmos, only to be attacked by sharp band hits. Baritone saxophonist Scott Martin's improvisation explores the rhythmic foundation, and Francisco Aguabella provides a thoughtful bata solo. Each track highlights Rizo's musical taste, built upon a thorough knowledge of Latin music and jazz.
Some songs touch upon Latin dance music, while maintaining a solid jazz background. A Tito Puente-influenced mambo on "Mama Vieja quickly makes way for Freddie Crespo's strong vocal. The clever horn writing and rhythm section unity provide a perfect feature for Crespo. A subdued montuno opens the Cha Cha Cha "Baila Mi Gente, soon joined by a popular coro. Flautist Danilo Lozano creates a rhythmic solo, until Poncho Sanchez's distinctive conga phrasing builds into a powerful solo. These songs maintains a dance music foundation embellished with jazz harmony, improvisation, and interesting arrangements.
Other pieces reference the ensemble's traditional side, confirming a jazz background. A saxophone riff hints at the melody to Charlie Parker's "Ah Leu Cha, which fits comfortably into a salsa rhythm. Trumpet player Bijon Watson navigates the song's complex harmony with short rhythmic ideas until trombonist Andy Martin creates contrast with long jazz lines. A textural introduction opens an intensive version of Wayne Shorter's "Yes or No. Trumpet player Gilbert Castellanos plays a virtuosic solo, balancing technique and musical taste. Almario's statement shines with personality, building into drummer Marvin "Smitty Smith's colorful improvisation. The group's jazz roots balance their Latin focus, resulting in equal respect for both genres.
The Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars deliver exhilarating results on Tambolero, setting an example for musical collaboration.

Man on the Edge: NFL and Gun Control?In the wake of the Jovan Belcher tragedy, football players across the league are taking it upon themselves to turn in their own guns. Some estimates put gun ownership at 75% among NFL players, nearly double that of the general population. So far, the turn-in is a voluntary thing, with players simply showing "solidarity" in the wake of a tragic situation. But should it go a step further? Bob Costas just took a lot of heat for making an opinionated statement about guns during the Cowboys/Eagles game. His comments were personal, and not sanctioned by the league, but his rant presents an interesting problem for an organization like the NFL. Should they take a stance on a social and, dare we say, political, issue like gun control? Our Man on the Edge hit the streets to see where you stand. |

The last Nigerian presidential elections were deemed to be the most democratic so far, and hopefully they have paved the way towards a steadier and more transparent and hopefully fruitful development of the country.

How would you evaluate the improvement in the collaboration between the public and private sectors when striving to achieve those goals?

Nordstrom Partners With New Balance And Shoes That Fit To Bring New Footwear To More Than 8,100 Kids This Holiday Season
SEATTLE, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Nordstrom, New Balance and Shoes That Fit have come together to bring more than 8,100 children in communities around the U.S. a special holiday gift again this year – new shoes.
The annual Nordstrom Holiday Giving Tree program begins on November 23 and runs through December 24. As in years past, all Nordstrom stores will display a holiday tree with tags that represent deserving local children identified by national non-profit organization Shoes That Fit. Shoes That Fit works with more than 200 schools nationwide to determine those children who are most in need of new shoes and then measures the children's feet so their shoes will fit comfortably. When customers purchase the tag for $20, the child will then receive New Balance athletic shoes.
"Over the past few years the Giving Tree program has become a holiday tradition that we've come to look forward to and we're so glad that we are working with New Balance and Shoes That Fit to offer it again this year," said Erik Nordstrom, president of stores at Nordstrom. "A new pair of shoes means a great deal to these kids. Rather than worrying about shoes that don't fit or are worn out, they'll now be able to go to school in a new, comfortable pair of shoes and focus on more important things like learning, playing and just being kids. We're happy that our customers can be a part of helping make that happen."
With this year's planned donation of more than 8,100 pairs of shoes, the Nordstrom Holiday Giving Tree will have provided more than 31,100 pairs of shoes to children since the program began in 2010. Those shoes, along with Nordstrom cash contributions to Shoes That Fit over the past three years, total more than $1.6 million given to children through the organization.
Nordstrom has a long tradition of displaying giving trees in stores during the holiday season. In years past, customers and employees could pull tags off the trees to fulfill wishes for local charities. In 2010, the company focused on providing footwear to children who live in the communities Nordstrom serves through the partnership with Shoes That Fit and New Balance. Nordstrom had worked with New Balance for years to offer customers a great selection of athletic footwear, and Shoes That Fit was an easy choice for the program given they had been delivering shoes to deserving kids since 1992.Select the service that is right for you!

This week's LRR video is all about apocalypse. What, exactly, is going to kill us all in the year 2012? It could be any number of things. Watch and find out!
But it doesn't really matter what kind of apocalypse we're going to be hit with. What matters is what you're going to do about it.
So, assuming that you know you're going to be one of the very few humans left alive after the apocalypse, how would you prepare for that?
Specifically, if you were able to take three items with you into the underground government bunker, what would they be? For this operation, we want you to take a picture of those three items. (You don't have to appear in the picture yourself, but you can if you want.)

Zipcar Inc. of Cambridge is expanding its European car-sharing network with the acquisition of Austria's Denzel Mobility CarSharing GmbH, which operates under the name CarSharing.at.
The deal adds another 200 vehicles and 10,000 members to Zipcar's growing European market. Last year, the company bought the majority stake in Catalunya Carsharing SA, a Spanish car-sharing network known as Avancar. Zipcar did not disclose the financial terms of the deal to purchase CarSharing.at.
"It's not a big company, but this is another step in building a network across Europe, much like we did in the US," said Scott Griffith, Zipcar's chief executive.
Griffith said that a more aggressive marketing and advertising campaign in Europe will follow the deal. The company also has a fleet of vehicles in the United Kingdom. He said Zipcar is looking at possibilities for expanding to Asia in the next few years.
Griffith said the purchase of CarSharing.at is not expected to affect the company's quarterly financial results. Zipcar, which went public last year and closed Tuesday at $11.40 a share, rents some 9,000 vehicles on an hourly basis to about 700,000 members.

Today google announced its preferred web style guide. Google did not announced it as its "preferred" styling guide, but I add this adjective to cue you that this guide is not an official guide, as supposed to standards issued by the world wide web consortium.
It is interesting to read the guidelines, particularly for web designers, because these cover front end visible element styling as well as the way in which the designer or front end developer write up the code.
I imagine google is motivated by wits need to process web pages with more ease; after all, they process billions of billions of web pages.
All of their suggestions make sense, like avoid using capital letters inside element tags. But there is suggestion that troubled me:
"Don't use tabs or mix tabs and spaces for indentation."
My left pinky is accustomed to using the tab key to indent code, and in fact, I read clearly indented code with more ease. This made me think of what many anthropologist argued was the primary reason why mathematics did not catch on during the Roman Empire era, roman numerals are clumsy and inneficient.
All and all, this is an informative an brief guide. I suggest reading or at least skimming through it: http://google-styleguide.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/htmlcssguide.xml

Floyd County Coroner Leslie Knable said the body of woman found on the banks of the Ohio River Friday morning shows no signs of apparent foul play.
Knable said it appeared woman had lost her life in the last week.
"She is not decomposed at all, but with the water temperature being cold, it [her death] could have occurred anywhere in the past week to a day," she said, adding that further investigation is continuing to better determine the approximate time of death.
Knable said she expects to confirm the woman's identity Saturday. She said an autopsy in Jefferson County has also been scheduled for Saturday.
Knable examined the body about 12:30 p.m. Friday, nearly two hours after it was found by a barge crew passing by. She said the body was partially dressed with no marks that lead investigators to believe she was the victim of an assault or involved in an accident.
Knable had to be taken to the body by a water craft belonging to the New Albany Fire Department.
The body was identified by the New Albany Police Department as a white woman approximately in her late 40s to early 50s.
Police said the body was found on the river bank near QRS Recycling at 1001 Floyd St. Officers said the body was stable on the shore when police arrived.

Santorum Goes After Perry On Marriage Equality | Looking to shore up Christian conservative support before Rick Perry enters the GOP presidential field, Rick Santorum took a shot at the Texas governor yesterday, suggesting that he's too accepting of marriage equality. "I wonder which version of marriage he'll be 'fine' with in South Carolina — obviously, not the same version he was 'fine' with in New York," Santorum told reporters, referring to Perry saying initially that he was "fine" with New York's decision to allow gay marriage on states' rights ground. Perry later recanted, saying, "gay marriage is not fine with me."

HOROSCOPES: Nov. 7
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — When it comes to involvements in which money is being exchanged between friends, things must be handled with extreme care, or someone, perhaps you, will end up feeling cheated.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Even after you've achieved an objective, you must take steps to solidify what you've gained. If you don't, all could slip away.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Friends and companions will be more impressed by the example you set than by the philosophy you espouse. Engage in more doing and a lot less talking.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You shouldn't have to be told not to take any gambles on people or things that you know little about. There's a chance you'll be more gullible than usual, and you could easily be had.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Inconsistency substantially lessens your possibilities for success. It's quite likely that you'll do things in ways that'll only confuse the people who want to help you.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — In order to stay in control when working on a critical task, you must maintain your patience throughout the job. If you try to rush your work, a mistake is likely.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Forget about trying for a huge gain by gambling on a big risk. If you can't pull it off, it might cost you far more than what you would have spent doing things the normal way.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — By refusing to let others run certain things that you're ill-equipped to handle, complications are likely to arise. It behooves you to take your pride out of the picture.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be very selective as to which of your friends you can poke and tease without eliciting rancor. A sensitive pal might misinterpret your playfulness and take things seriously.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — If you don't handle your commercial matters prudently, any opportunities that do exist could slip through your fingers. Situations in which you would normally do well could end up a shambles. Continued...
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — When you lack focus, you'll be unable to bring your forces to bear on important objectives. It's OK to do less, as long as everything is done to the very best of your ability.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Be a positive thinker and behave accordingly. If you start feeling sorry for yourself and making unreasonable demands of others, even those who planned to help you will reject you.

Perth Buy back?
Hi all.
I've arrived in Perth WA and I was wondering if anyone knows a bike shop that offers to buy back your bike after a trip (after you have purchased from them). Or maybe someone could tell me good places to buy bikes.. dt 650s or something similar. Thanks for the help guys, Barra |
Worth a chat
These guys are over in Lismore (nearly the exact opposite side of Australia from Perth) Australian Motorcycle Tours but they would be worth a chat. They will do a deal of 9,600 or something for the full kit, and then give back $7,600 when you get it back within 3 months or so.
If you are after a DR650 or something similar, they are a little like hens teeth at the moment over here in Perth 2nd hand - I know I have been looking for one! If you can get out to Midlands there are a collection of dealers, but that will take you out a bit. Next stop might be Victoria Park and Dale Britton Motorcycles on teh Albany Hwy. I actually have a test ride booked with them for a '07 Tiger 1050 tomorrow, but haven't ever dealt with them before. There are a couple of other dealers as well around them. Next stop would be the 'quokka'. Classifieds by Quokka Online This hard to use and old fashioned website is the best thing you will find to a trading post that services the Perth area, and is the Paper/online sale point most used by West Australian's. Hope that helps, Gazza.
Gazza Stop talking, its time for action... |
Thanks a million for the info..will check them out..
Barra |
If you still want to buy a bike I have a DL650 for sale Brand new.
http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...k-2009-a-41188 It depends on how long you are here for as I may buy it back in a year or so Cheers TS

Hyderabad: YSR Congress chief Jaganmohan Reddy has hit out at the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), saying that it has been hounding him with no proof. Calling the freezing of the Sakshi TV accounts undemocratic, Jagan said, "After nine months of probe, the CBI has got nothing."
"I'm not fighting the Congress, it's the Congress that is hitting me all out. The Congress has formed a cartel along with Chandrababu Naidu and other media houses," he added.
This came just hours before a Hyderabad court hears Sakshi TV's appeal against the freezing of its accounts.
YSR Congress chief Jaganmohan Reddy said that the CBI had been hounding him for years with no proof against him.
Jaganmohan Reddy's three companies, including Sakshi TV, on Wednesday had moved court seeking defreezing of their accounts to carry out day-to-day business even as the agency's move drew flak from scribes.
In three separate petitions filed in the special CBI court in Hyderabad, representatives of Indira Television Ltd, which runs Telugu news channel Sakshi TV, Jagati Publications Ltd, publisher of 'Sakshi' Telugu newspaper and Janani Infrastructure Pvt Ltd alleged that the the action by CBI was aimed at muzzling the voice of print and electronic media and to cause political advantage to the rivals of Jagan.
The CBI, investigating into alleged disproportionate assets of the YSR Congress chief, has filed three chargesheets in the case and on Wednesday approached banks for freezing the accounts of the three companies, including the two media entities.
Following the development, amounts to tune of Rs 2.85 crore in current accounts maintained by the firms in different banks here besides fixed deposit of Rs 103 crore stood frozen.
In the thick of campaigning for June 12 by-elections, the Jagan issue has generated a lot of heat in the political circles in Andhra Pradesh with the ruling Congress seeking to wash its hands off.
Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy said neither the Congress nor the state government have any connection with the CBI inquiry against Jaganmohan.

The art of connecting with, feeling and adjusting the energy body using the consciousness is a key aspect of Nei Gong and Qi Gong. It sits somewhere between Qi Gong, meditation and the lesser-known art of Shen Gong, and although it is known in China it has never before been written about in an accessible way in the West.

I Ching Acupuncture - The Balance Method is a system of acupuncture point selection based on the principles of Chinese philosophy and classic Chinese texts, including the I Ching, Nei Jing Su Wen and Ling Shu. In this unique book Dr. Twicken presents classic Chinese philosophical models that explain the relationships between philosophy, Chinese medical principles, acupuncture channels and the human body. The models are the He Tu, Luo Shu Nine Palaces, Early Heaven Ba Gua, Later Heaven Ba Gua, Twelve-Stage Growth Cycle, Stems and Branches and the Chinese calendar. These models and theories clearly show the relationships between the acupuncture channels and the human body and provide guiding theory for acupuncture strategies and point selection.

The therapeutic art of shiatsu is now widely practised in the West, yet practitioners find it difficult to acquire the training that will take them beyond the mechanistic level.
For many years Akinobu Kishi has been visiting the West to teach, but never before has his approach been recorded in book form. Regarded as one of the leading exponents of shiatsu, Kishi trained with and assisted Shizuto Masunaga, and is widely regarded as the heir to his work, developed to the higher level of Seiki Soho, which takes the practice beyond technique. With the assistance of his long-term student Alice Whieldon, Kishi's theory and practice of Seiki Soho are described and explained for the first time in this important book. Setting his work within the historical context of shiatsu, the long central section of the book consists of a dialogue about the fundamental principles and practice of Masunaga's Zen Shiatsu and Seiki Soho as taught by Kishi. The final section consists of case studies of practice, including the experiences of people treated by Kishi.
Keywords: bodywork, complementary therapies, energy work, massage, meridians, shiatsu

Great safe for price

Comments about Bunker Hill Safes Large Steel Book Safe:
If you have a lot of random-looking textbooks on your shelf, it will fit in and nobody will ever notice. Good for college students or maybe for lawyers, but not for homeowners with coffee table books, cookbooks, or novels. These will stick out like a sore thumb.The steel is extremely thin and the lock is very weak. You could probably break it open with a screwdriver, never mind a prybar. On the plus side, that means it isn't heavy and it has a lot of storage for its size. It works for me. Excellent price. Just don't expect it to resist theft unless well concealed.

Great for the price
By Brad
This is a great way to conceal valuables. The lock mechanism doesn't work well on the one I bought, which is the reason I held back one star.

Without a variety of covers, it is just like another reviewer said, "Aluminum Composites" will not fit in my library of choice. A new cover like a "Dictionary" could work for many more people. LIKE ME!! I will not know if I would recommend it. I can't use this cover you have on my shelf.

ABC Studios' new Marvel show coming this fall, set after The Avengers follows the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Fan favorite Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) who was killed by Loki in The Avengers turns up proving that hashtag campaigns such as #CoulsonLives have super powers of their own.
Coulson assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary. Coulson's team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet).
With Joss Whedon at the helm and writers from Dollhouse, Alias, Smallville and Angel on board, I think this is going to be a huge hit – and ABC is the right home for this. Check out the full 3-minute trailer:

Bethesda has released a new trailer for The Elder Scrolls called "Gathering and Exploration" which features commentary from Creative Director Paul Sage, who gives an overview of exploring the world of Tamriel. From gathering various materials, including readable books, hidden chests, and ability-boosting items, or breaking into barrels and crates in search of items and different crafting materials. Players can also mine for ore, harvest herbs and go fishing.
The Elder Scrolls Online (available 2013 on Mac & PC) is set a millennium before the events of Skyrim as the daedric prince Molag Bal tries to pull all of Tamriel into his demonic realm.

Finally the last part of the trilogy is here! Edgar Wright once again teams up with Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to complete their Three Flavors of Cornetto Trilogy (aka as The Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy on US side of the pond) in The World's End.
Each film in the trilogy is connected to a Cornetto ice cream flavor – where one of the main characters purchases a Cornetto of the appropriate flavor. Shaun of the Dead (2004) features a red strawberry flavored Cornetto signifying the film's bloody and gory elements while Hot Fuzz (2007) includes the original blue Cornetto relating to the cop theme. In The World's End we will see my personal flavor favorite: the green mint choc-chip. Yum!
The movie itself is about attempting a pub-crawl of epic proportions (that they five characters had attempted 20 years previously) only to encounter something very different on their journey.

Audi have produced a great commercial that pits Spock against Spock with Quinto and Nimoy giving a good bundle of laughs! Very well directed – but it clearly wasn't J.J. Abrams due to the lack of lens flares.

Not gonna lie… Zoe Saldana knows how to work a wetsuit. Not so sure about Chris Pine's though… tad too, what is the word? Glittery! This new TV spot shows off some underwater scenes… and once again, yes – they are wearing wetsuits. These are NOT their standard suits!

The more I see trailers for this movie, the more I get goosebumps. I'm starting to think this could be the greatest DC Comic Book Movie to date. Dare I say, move over, Batman, you and your husky voice have been challenged by the one who walks like a god among us.

Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez
RAFA BENITEZ insists his outgoing old boys will keep fighting until the very end of their Chelsea careers.
Frank Lampard, 34, and Ashley Cole, 32, are heading for the exit door, with both players deals up this summer.
But Benitez says he has no fears about the experienced England duo easing off and just going through the motions as their contracts tick down.
He said: They are very good professionals, doing their best.
I do not know what will happen, but they will focus on doing their jobs.
I talk with them every day. I had a conversation with Frank Lampard last week and he was quite positive.
He is a professional and has experience and knows he has to keep working hard and I will make decisions and we were fine.
Ashley? He is fine, too. We joke every day.
The Blues received a boost this week when the third member of their old guard, skipper John Terry, came through his return unscathed.
Terry, 32, has been out since the start of November with a serious knee injury. He made his comeback with a 45-minute run-out for Chelseas Under-21s on Thursday. Defender Terry will be back in the squad for todays trip to Stoke.
But despite his natural desperation to return to first-team action, Benitez said: I spoke with him at the end of the game against Fulham and this morning.
This one he knows he cant play. We will see how he is next week. He knows he will need some time. The good thing is that he is available and ready. Thats very positive.
It is always important to have someone who has character at any time.
Goalkeeper Petr Cech could also be involved in the squad after missing the Blues last three games with a groin injury.
Chelsea will be aiming to bounce back from their shock Capital One Cup semi-final first-leg defeat to Swansea at Stoke, who remain unbeaten at home.
Benitez said: They dont lose many points at home. The team is doing really well away from home.
Weve had a lot of chances at home but teams play deeper so its difficult to create clear chances.

from Tales from the Trail:
U.S. State Dept. figures out how to say "Twitter" in Arabic
It took a while, but the U.S. State Department is now tweeting in Arabic.
With unprecedented political turmoil rocking Egypt and protesters turning to social media such as Twitter and Facebook, the mouthpiece of U.S. foreign policy wants in on the game.
Its first message? #Egypt #Jan25 تعترف وزارة الخارجية الأمريكية بالدور التاريخي الذي يلعبه الإعلام الإجتماعي في العالم العربي ونرغب أن نكون جزءاً من محادثاتكم
(Translation: "We want to be a part of your conversation!")
The new State Department Arabic Twitter feed, @USAbilaraby, joins a growing chorus of Twitter feeds describing and commenting on events in Egypt and across the Arab world, where social media is helping to broadcast political ferment.
The feed, which currently has a scant 161 followers, has passed along messages including President Barack Obama's statement that the future of Egypt is in the hands of the Egyptian people and Vice President Joe Biden's demand that Egypt immediately stop harassing journalists and scrap its emergency law.
