Introducing TimeTube
I don't know if you're a big YouTube fan or not, but a fascinating way to browse YouTube is through TimeTube. TimeTube lets you put in a key word (like "Mormon") and up pops a timeline of all videos submitted that use that keyword. You can drill down by double clicking anywhere in the timeline, or by using the zoom feature at the top. You can play around with other features as well, you can even set up an account for yourself and create your own timeline (I'm creating one for my Blog). But if you follow the link below you can check it out. It will be interesting to watch, over time, the increase in the number of YouTube posts about Mormonism, particularly since the recent encouragement for Mormon members to speak up online.
Or, if you'd like to just build a TubeLine of your own, go here: http://www.dipity.com/mashups/timetube
I hope you enjoy it.

Right now, there are at least 10 other teams across the globe working to solve the same problem as your startup. They are just as smart, driven, and resourceful as your team. The good news for you is that these teams really don't matter in changing whether your startup's outcome will be successful or failure. I've personally learned first hand not to get too worked up about new entrants promising disruption of the rental industry and change in the sharing habits of the world through collaborative consumption.
In the early days of Rentabilities, I would stumble across a new competitor about once every two months. Immediately, my blood would seath and I'd frantically navigate every page of their website to compare how they stacked up against our team and our product. A quick email with only a link to the site would be fired off to my cofounder, and we'd spend the next hour on the phone discussing this new potential threat. After the call, I'd spend more precious mental energy dreaming up the possible ways this new rival could crush us, just to make sure we were not blindsided.
In hindsight, I should have realized these new companies were not going to make or break my startup. Most rental merchants use paper calendars, green-screen keyboard-based point-of-sales, or some sort of other cobbled together system to take orders from customers. On the flip side, most consumers use Google and the telephone to find and connect with rental merchants, or just rent from the store they drive past on their way to work everyday. Building intelligent and efficient systems to connect both our merchants and customers is and always has been our hardest challenge with Rentabilities.
This is the case for almost all software startups. You are competing with Microsoft Excel. You are competing against Google and the telephone. You are fighting against people continuing to solve their problems the same way they always have, or not bothering trying to solve their problems at all.
I'm sure Uber's #1 challenge right now is not competing with other on-demand transportation apps. It's changing people's traditional behavior of just walking outside and hailing a taxi. I doubt GrubHub is very worried about other food ordering apps, and instead is trying to figure out ways of stopping their customers from Google searching a restaurant's name and ordering a pizza over the telephone. Mint's main competitor was not another software startup in the early days. Their customers either used Microsoft Excel or just had a general laziness towards personal finances.
"Aaron's father has research experience and we spent countless weeks figuring out what people really wanted before we ever launched our beta. Guess who we found out Mint's biggest competitor was? No one. Apathy. This shocked me! Most people would rather not track anything and just see how they are doing when they go to the ATM. Guess who was #2? Ms Money, Intuit, Wesabe? NOPE. Microsoft Excel. Who would have believed that!" – Noah Kagan
I often give the advice to new entrepreneurs obsessed with competition to just stop tracking rival teams. Sure, you can take a quick look at their website to check how they are doing, or set up some Google Alerts on their company name, but to spend time talking in circles with your team about competitors is time lost talking about how to solve your customer's problems. Your fiercest competitor is, and will always be, your potential customers not knowing about your startup or just not caring to solve their problems at all.

"I must protest."
"To whom?"
That seemed to flummox him. "I don't know," he finally said. "But a protest must be lodged nonetheless."
"I don't think the dog meant to shoot him," Iris demurred.
"You mean the author does not make the canine's motivations clear?"
Iris assumed a scrupulously even expression. "Even she lacks such talent."
But just then, there was a mighty roar—
"Is there a lion?" Richard wondered.
—and the unicorn burst onto the scene!
"Die!" the unicorn shrieked. "Die! Die! Die!"
Richard looked to Iris in confusion. The unicorn had not thus demonstrated an ability to speak. Henry's scream of terror was so chilling, the woman behind Richard murmured, "This is surprisingly well acted."
Mauahaa. All the ridiculousness! I love Frances and her love of unicorns. I bet you're super curious to how the dog shoot someone, ha.

Chapter 7 Summary
The next stop on the agenda is the Straits of Gibraltar in Africa. It takes a week to travel from Azores to Gibraltar, during which time another epidemic of boredom and cabin fever occurs. It rains during most of this journey, which puts a further dampener on everyone's spirits. The constant question of who was traveling through Spain to Paris lays on Twain's nerves, and he purposely decides not to decide. The sight of land once again brightens the mood. Twain describes the beauty and wonder of Gibraltar but is frustrated to discover so few legends about the land. During the tour across the land, the same words are spoken of the different landmarks, and Twain doesn't find the words very interesting at all. The most common tour guide speech was in regard to the Queen's Chair.

Bridgestone EUROPE
Jun, 15 2014
The tyre that is bringing an iconic brand back into the limelight was the centre of attention itself during a high-powered 2-week launch event in Valencia, Spain. The Firestone Destination HP, the brand's newest flagship tyre for SUVs, was put through to the test by about 450 independent tyre experts, members of the media and tyre dealers from 2 to 13 June during a series of dynamic product presentations and test drive activities. And as initial reports from the ground suggest, this tyre really is a game-changer for the 100-year-old brand. Firestone is part of the Bridgestone Group, the world's number one tyre and rubber manufacturer in the world.
Setting the Scene
The Espai Rambleta building on the outskirts of Valencia offers a suitably dynamic backdrop to this world-class launch event, serving as the main venue of the opening night and the start and finish of the road book driving activities. The real action, however, takes place out on the roads and out on the track as participants get a first-hand impression of what the Firestone Destination HP can really do. And to that end, a fleet of Kia Sportage have been shod with Firestone's latest offering and equipped with an iPad with 3G connection with which to rate performance throughout the day and – of course – navigate through the challenging course.
Out on the Road
The Road Book Challenge takes in three main checkpoints designed to build up to the ultimate test and show off all facets of the tyre's performance. The High Cube works up participants' appetites – both literally and figuratively – with a detailed presentation of the full Firestone range and the history of the brand over snacks and light refreshments. At La Punta, participants get their first taste of one of the Firestone Destination HP's main advantages through a series of fun driving challenges including the Firestone Heritage Tour give participants the chance to score points for their team en route to the main prize. The real test begins, however, at the Ricardo Torme Circuit where drivers get a feel for the other advantages for which the Destination HP is rapidly gaining fame: reliability and performance. Driving pairs namely take turns evaluating the tyre's handling characteristics in wet, dry and unstable surface conditions.
A New Kind of Tyre
The Firestone Destination HP openly targets Firestone's core customers who are young at heart and who actively aspire to the freedom of driving. As such, it capitalises on their growing attraction to urban crossovers and the carefree SUV way of life, offering hassle-free reliability and true sports performance in a wide variety of conditions. Best of all, the Destination HP offers great mileage, which means it can keep on delivering where others fall short.
The Destination HP achieves up to 35% higher mileage(1) without reducing safety and backs up this positioning with a highly competitive technical package. The sporty tread pattern is designed for giving maximum control and traction in cornering. The tyre also achieves top results in wet grip with best-in-segment results on the Euro Tyre Label B grading for wet grip across all five top-selling Destination HP sizes introduced in 2014.
An Iconic Brand
With a history spanning over 100 years, the US brand has succeeded in becoming a trusted brand in Europe as well, constructing one if its first plants – in Spain as it turns out – in 1931. Since then it has enjoyed a strong presence on the continent, forging a tradition of offering quality and reliability at a reasonable price. With the launch of the new Destination HP tyre for SUVs, Firestone is reaffirming that place on the European market and reasserting its core philosophy: giving everyone the freedom to drive and discover.

Behind the "Best Screenplay" Awards
Is a WGA Award a true predictor of Oscar gold? That was certainly the case this year, as both the WGA and AMPAS chose The Descendants and Midnight in Paris as respective winners in their Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay categories. (This year's only noticeable difference, it turns out, was but one of presentation: at the Writers Guild Awards, Letty Aronson, producer of Midnight in Paris and Woody Allen's sister, was allowed onstage to accept Allen's statuette.) But pomp and circumstance aside, The Descendants' and Midnight in Paris' 2012 WGA-Oscar "doubles" illustrate a growing convergence in awards-season decisions between WGA and the Academy.
Indeed, 2012 marked the sixth time in the last eight years that both WGA and the Academy opted to honor the same writers for Best Adapted and Best Original Screenplays.
With two exceptions–in 2011, when the Academy chose The King's Speech over WGA Award-winner Inception for Best Original Screenplay; and in 2010, when the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay went to Precious after the WGA Award had gone to Up in the Air—recent history of the two Best Screenplay awards has been noteworthy for Guild-Oscar synergy. From 2005 to 2009, the WGA and Academy agreed on their Best Original and Best Adapted Screenplay winners every year.
Before the beginning of that streak, however, the WGA and the Academy had demonstrated across-the-board agreement only five times since 1985, the year WGA adopted its current two-fold "Best Adapted" and "Best Original" categorizations.
While both the WGA and Academy seek to honor the finest in screenwriting in a given year, the differing imperatives of the two organizations can explain incongruities in their choices of winners. The Writers Guild of America is, of course, a labor union whose prime directive is the representation of the rights of screenwriters in the workplace. To that end, then, only films produced under the jurisdiction of the Writers Guild of America (or an affiliate Guild) are eligible for consideration for WGA Awards. The Academy does not consider the terms and conditions under which nominee films were created.
The recent harmony among WGA and Oscar-winners, then, is heartening. By awarding Oscars to screenplays that have already met the WGA's stricter eligibility requirements, the Academy is, in effect, tacitly validating the Guild's mission of honoring both great art and the artists who labor to create it.
"Our goal is not to provide spin for the Oscars," says Lowell Peterson, executive director of the Writers Guild of America, East, "but to give writers the opportunity to honor other writers. We believe writers should be paid decently, and should receive the benefits negotiated by the Guild or by our sister guilds abroad. The Academy doesn't require that writers be treated well, and sometimes non-Guild films are nominated for writing Oscars. But that is increasingly rare."

Fiber is indigestible carbohydrate found in
Fiber is indigestible carbohydrate found in the cell walls of plant foods. Although fiber isn't an essential nutrient, a high-fiber diet keeps your digestive system running smoothly, can help you lose weight and may lower your risk of high cholesterol and heart disease. The two types of dietary fiber, soluble and insoluble, both contribute to health in different ways and help regulate constipation.
Soluble fiber
(Including pectins and gums) dissolves in fluids in the large intestine and forms a gel. A diet high in soluble fiber helps lower cholesterol levels because it binds intestinal bile acids that contain fat and cholesterol, which are removed in the stools instead of being reabsorbed into the bloodstream. Soluble fiber also reduces the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive problems by helping to regulate both constipation and diarrhea, and slows the absorption of simple sugars, which helps control the rise in blood sugar after eating. Good sources of soluble fiber include legumes (beans), oats, barley, fruit (apples, for example) and psyllium seed (used to make Metamucil and similar products).
Insoluble fiber
(Cellulose, hemicellulose and lignins) doesn't dissolve in intestinal fluids, but instead soaks up water like a sponge, adding bulk and preventing constipation by making it easier for the intestines to move waste matter — including potential carcinogens — along and out of your system more quickly. A diet high in insoluble fiber can help prevent diverticulosis (formation of pouches in the large intestine, or colon) and hemorrhoids. Good sources of insoluble fiber include whole grains, wheat bran and some fruits and vegetables.
Overall, fiber-rich foods can help you lose weight or maintain weight loss because they tend to be low in calories, take longer to chew and make you feel full faster. High-fiber foods are also naturally rich in vitamins and minerals. But if you want to add more fiber to your diet, do it gradually. Adding too much fiber at once can cause gas, bloating or diarrhea. Be sure to increase your water intake (at least six glasses a day) as you increase the amount of fiber you eat.
Moderation, the rule in good nutrition, applies to fiber as well. Fiber can bind minerals, such as calcium, iron, magnesium and zinc. You are unlikely to consume too much fiber — more than the maximum recommended 35 grams a day — if you rely on food sources alone. But fiber supplements, such as unprocessed bran or commercial products, may put you over the top and sweep these important minerals out of your digestive system. This is a potential problem for elderly people whose mineral intake may be low and who are likely to take fiber supplements. The precise nutritional and clinical significance of fiber remains elusive. A broad range of food substances is involved and the properties of these indigestible components can vary widely. Here are some simple tips to help you increase your daily fiber intake:
- Choose whole-grain breads and pasta. (Flour from whole wheat contains three times as much fiber as refined white flour.)
- Choose brown rice instead of white. (Brown rice has three times as much fiber).
- Eat the whole fruit instead of juice. (One orange contains about six times as much fiber as a 4 ounce glass of juice).
- Stir a few tablespoons of wheat germ into yogurt or hot cereal; add a couple of tablespoons of bran to pancake or waffle batter.
- Start your morning with cold or hot cereals that contain at least 4 grams of fiber in a serving. Read package labels and compare fiber content. Add fruit to your breakfast cereal.
- Pack cold cereal, fruit or cut-up vegetables in your briefcase or backpack for nibbles.
- Buy cut-up raw veggies at a salad bar or vegetable stand if time is short.
- Use beans (black, white, pink, red, kidney, pinto, etc.) or lentils in salads, as a side dish and in soups and stews.
Any high-fiber food contains both soluble and insoluble fibers. Some foods, however, are particularly good sources of one or the other, as listed below. Individual needs vary, but most people should aim for 25 to 35 grams of total fiber a day.

Are those fun-sized candy bars, if you just finished eating 27? I appreciate my friend, Ken Price, saying that his abs are so awesome that he had to grow a layer of fat over them to keep from getting someone hurt. Hahahahaha!
I just wrote those random sentences because they remind me of the hypothetical commencement speech of Mary Schmich, which was published in June of 1997 to the supposed class of 1999.
It has been called the "Wear Sunscreen" speech and was set to music and released as a "Spoken Word Song" by Baz Luhrmann. Ultimately, the author says that the most important thing… wear sunscreen! Pretty good advice.
Today, I attached this 5 minute version in the blog, in case you wanted some advice on life from this speech, and just feel like relaxing instead of reading. So here it is:
Maybe it is "advice like youth, probably just wasted on the young", but wouldn't it be great if we could worry less and be thankful for more. (That's my thought)
And for pic o' day, this invention!

Awesome Damage early and late game
Sheild to block heavy damge from turrets or heroes
Great Tower Diver
He is a spartan whats not to like.
Can carry the team if played well
Dies fast late game if focused
Team fight mostly focused.
Very mana depended
Needs a good team to carry.
Early Game:
Basically, early game you can go anywhere. I would prefer if you are new to pantheon to stay with a champion that can stun or a range dps. All you need to do is at lvl 1 stay at the tower do not go into the bush when you see they are getting greedy when the creeps come start poping some spears in there ***.As soon as you hit lvl 3 try to make there hp low by spamming spears on them. When there hp becomes around half or less then half do this combo all the time.
It should get your first or second blood.
Mid Game:
Level 6 is basically mid game for you because you can gank anyone on the map.
So at level 6 go to town buy what ever item i recommended for you to use and use your ulti to kill some who is makeing your team stay back or is tower hugging with low hp.
Remember always tell your team before using your ultimate.
Late Game:
You are basically the head of your pack because you should be doing amazing damage at the moment so tell your team to stick together and make sure you never initiate.

A fee (tax?) for disposable bags in Denver (3 letters)
Re: "Denver should approve 5-cent disposable bag fee," Aug. 20 editorial.
For a moment, let's put aside the absurd notion that the supposedly vile perils wrought by grocery sacks should jump to the head of the public policy line. Even if this were a concern of any substance, your editorial skipped a threshold matter. This "fee" would be a tax and would thus require an election. Despite the incredibly wide berth afforded to jurisdictions by the Colorado judiciary, the proposed bag tax stretches far beyond the edges of even the loosest reading of TABOR. That elected officials propose such nakedly unconstitutional tripe, and that editors cheer it on, should give everybody pause.
Ryan Adler, Arvada
This letter was published in the Aug. 22 edition.
Oh, puhleeeeze! That there is even a discussion about this no-brainer is appalling. Keep cloth bags in the car and carry them into the store to avoid the fee. It's that simple. Retailers who say it's going to take time to add up the charge per bags are copping out, and those who say poor people can't take the hit aren't getting it. The idea is that eventually no one will have to be charged because everyone will be trained to BYOB. Thanks to The Denver Post for endorsing the practice.
Claudia Carbone, Denver
This letter was published in the Aug. 22 edition.
Re: "Call grocery bag fee what it is — a tax," Aug. 14 Vincent Carroll column.
Vincent Carroll argues that Denver's proposed 5-cent charge for plastic grocery bags is a tax, not a fee. As Carroll acknowledges, any proposed tax must, under TABOR, be decided by voters. He's betting that voters not only don't like taxes, they don't like change; thus, the likelihood of passage would be slim. Carroll's attempt to manipulate a negative outcome of this worthwhile proposal distracts from its purpose. It's about what plastic is doing to our environment. It's about the 31 million tons of plastic waste that annually enter our landfills, clog our oceans, litter our roadways and kill our wildlife. Let's not get distracted by the rhetoric. Besides, we would only pay the bag fee if we don't bring our own. How simple is that?

HLFS shows encouraging job growth
HLFS shows encouraging job growth
The drop in the unemployment rate from 6.9 per cent to 6.2 per cent in the March quarter is encouraging news, Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Minister Steven Joyce says.
The Household Labour Force Survey released today showed that 38,000 more people were employed in the quarter.
"The result follows news the economy grew 3 per cent in the year to December and is another sign the economy is continuing to head in the right direction," Mr Joyce says.
"While the fall in unemployment is a good result it may be a little too good as this survey is known to move around and we need to be cautious."
The result puts New Zealand in 11th place in the OECD, which has an average unemployment rate of 8 per cent. Our participation rate grew from 67.2 to 67.8 per cent and remains higher than Australia's at 65.3 per cent.
Hours worked increased 3.2 per cent for the quarter – the highest since 1994.
"The Government's economic management and Business Growth Agenda were praised last month by IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde who described the New Zealand economy as being 'very stable' and 'very promising' and a lot better than other parts of the world," Mr Joyce says.
"The National-led Government is encouraging more investment right across the New Zealand economy as we know that nothing creates jobs and grows incomes for New Zealand families better than business growth."

Interesting notes for this week's Colts-Seahawks matchup: Seattle's cornerbacks have actually given up a lot of yardage to opposing wideouts this year, and the Colts' defense really needs to figure out how to stop Seattle on second downs. Cover Watch looks at the Jets and Falcons.
ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
13 comments, Last at 09 Oct 2013, 3:46am
1 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
Seattle's pass defense breakdown did strike me as odd. 1st against TEs doesn't seem enough to make up for 29th against #1 WRs, 18th against #2 WRs, 15th against other WRs, and 15th against RBs.
2 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
Where did those ranks come from? Given Seattle has allowed the lowest passer rating in the NFL, some seem hard to believe.
6 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
I think it's because opponents aren't using their #1 receivers in the normal way against Seattle, because they know that putting them on the outside is pretty much futile. So they're running pick routes to free them for short/intermediate passes in the middle of the field.
Also, the ranking are massively dependent on interceptions, so Seattle is #1 again tight ends because 5 of their 7 interceptions have come against passes intended for them (Vernon Davis twice, D.J. Williams, and Owen Daniels twice). This year, QBs rarely throw the ball to a covered #1 receiver against Seattle, so there's not many chances for interceptions (although Sherman almost had one against Smith).
3 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
If Unger plays, and it looks like he will, the line is correct. Or closer anyway. Russell Wilson is 24-5 against the spread, including preseason and play-offs, so the lines are generally biased against Seattle.
5 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
More precisely, the sharp bettors are biased against Seattle, and getting burnt badly for it. It's strange, because it's usually the sharps that go for advanced statistical methods, and Seattle under Wilson has always rated higher than public perception perceives them to be.
12 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
Yeah, than the Seahawks will only be missing a left and a right tackle not to mention both guards are new to the offense this year.
4 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
Also, Irvin is playing a different position now, so how he did against the run as a LEO is irrelevant.
7 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
I'll go for Hawks :)
8 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
2 weeks ago, FO ran the ESPN Upset Watch: 49ers over Seahawks. Final score:
Seahawks 29
49ers 3
9 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
Yeah, but since you are using the Niners as the yardstick, SEA beat them by 26 in SEA which is generally agreed to confer about 5 pts in HFA--just for argument, call that a 21 pt win. Indy beat the Niners on the road in SF by 20 pts. Adding a 3 point SF HFA to that spread makes that a net 23 pt (or thereabouts) win. Put the game in Indy (3 hour time change for the Hawks plus a relatively noisy home crowd), and without even looking at advanced stats, which kinda seem to favor Indy anyway, it's no stretch to see the Colts winning.
A lot of personnel changes in the short time since these games were played, players lost and added, but there are multiple ways to look at a potential upset.
11 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
It's funny because all last year, Colts fans watched as Football Outsiders defamed their team all year because their DVOA rating was much lower than their record. It made sense because other metrics such as Pythagorean wins agreed and nobody could deny that they had a lot of close wins against terrible teams.
But now, these Colts really have shown themselves to be legitimately good this year. For one, both the Seahawks and Colts blew out what we'd expect to be a good 49ers team.
10 Re: ESPN Upset Watch: Colts over Seahawks
Bobman, none of that has anything to do with the point that the Seahawks crushed the Niners, after ESPN picked the Niners to upset the Seahawks. That was the point that poster made.
Furthermore, each and every game plays out different ways, and highlights different match ups. So to look at the way two separate games happened to play out, (and do some funky math), then extrapolate from that mess that somehow the Colts will beat the Seahawks...that's what is known as a logic fallacy.
Just saying...
13 Sea hawks are real hawks. I
Sea hawks are real hawks. I believe they are unstoppable and i hope their are no strong contenders this time to make a big challenge.

Earlier today I received an email from a good friend, asking for my feedback on Greg Rubottom's recent guest post on Frank Schaeffer's Patheos blog. The original article ("Death throes of a great deception – the fall from grace of the pro-life movement") can be found here.
About three sentences into my response email, I decided to make this into a blog post. The article is fairly long, so I'll try to limit myself to the major points.
Rubottom begins by describing "the Republican Party's nefarious campaign to teach Americans that God opposes abortion". He includes this paragraph:
"Modern medical abortion is a relatively new phenomenon in the world. When this procedure was unexpectedly legalized in 1972 many struggled to understand it. There were no centuries old church degrees (sic) concerning abortion in existence. The responsibility therefore fell on all believers to decide for themselves what the "will of God" might be concerning abortion."
I don't want to spend too much time nitpicking history…but medical abortions have been around for thousands of years (qualifying them as "modern" in order to call it a "new phenomenon" is just being redundant). Christians have been responding to the practice (and generally condemning it) since Roman times. It isn't as if the moral ramifications of abortion suddenly fell from the sky in 1972, blindsiding Christians everywhere.
"The pro-life believer feels confident that rape can not be the will of God – because rape is a bad thing. But despite the other obvious "bad things" staring them in the face, a woman required to bear a rapist's child against her will and a child growing up with a rapist father, they still steadfastly refuse to consider the possibility that God might actually prefer to terminate a conception."
Are we to play God, then, and decide that a fetus conceived through rape is undeserving of life? Do the circumstances of a person's conception really determine their worth? Doesn't this just open the door to prejudices from the not-so-distant past, when "bastards" were socially stigmatized as adults for the circumstances of their conception?
Or consider the following scenario from Dr. Neil Shenvi:
"Imagine a woman living in some remote area. A man breaks into her home and rapes her. But before leaving, he leaves his newborn son in her kitchen. The sight of the baby obviously brings back horrible memories for the woman. But is she morally justified in killing him to avoid the pain? No. Even if it takes the government weeks or even months to come take the baby, he should not be killed for the actions of the rapist. She is certainly a hero for caring for the needs of the innocent child. But her only other option – to kill the child – is morally wrong."
"The pro-life worldview is promoted in our Evangelical churches [and by the Roman Catholic bishops] almost entirely by means of a very powerful appeal to ones' empathetic emotions, along with a preference for some scripture over others and a complete denial or perversion of yet others. All to try to make a case for "human soul life" beginning at conception."
Rubottom makes no attempt to engage with the Scriptural evidence for the pro-life position, but I think it's worth taking a moment to do so. If you're at all uncertain about the Biblical basis for the pro-life position, I implore you to read this excellent summary from JW Wartick.
"The teaching of the pro-life heresy in America's churches (along with other blatant heresies all stemming from the belief in an inerrant Bible) imperils the very survival of Christianity in America."
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I think Mr. Rubottom tips his hand here. After spending several paragraphs explaining why the Christian stance against abortion is in conflict with the Bible, he now claims that it's a heresy stemming from a belief in an inerrant Bible.
Just think about that.
It's an implicit concession that there is a Biblical basis for the pro-life position. Furthermore, by claiming that the Bible contains errors, he seriously undermines his previous attempts to refute the pro-life position on Biblical grounds.
"Just like nature, people should choose to allow a conception to proceed if a healthy body is understood as likely and the external environment is favorable for nurturing an emerging soul. Choice is simply another of God's tools promoting our evolution toward perfection."
Your eugenics alarm should be going off about now.
"God trusts nature to use her wisdom at times to destroy a fetus to ensure the best "body environment" for the potential soul."
The author makes the mistake here of assuming that spontaneous abortions are acceptable to God (rather than a form of natural evil). In the absence of clear evidence that a fetus isn't a "human person", this is akin to saying, "God trusts nature to use her wisdom at times to destroy (via lightning strikes, flash floods, and eathquakes) newborn infants that lack an ideal 'body environment'."
And again, what kind of message is this sending to the physically and mentally disabled living among us, who WERE born with less-than-ideal "body environments"? Are their lives somehow less valuable? Isn't this essentially telling people from impoverished families and broken homes that their lives aren't worth living?
Is this the message of Jesus?
"Humanity must follow nature's and God's example by judging the "exterior environment" into which the potential soul will be born. The mental and physical fitness of the mother and father. The physical resources. Is there severe damage to the fetal body nature is blind to? Would pregnancy endanger the life of the mother? Is the conception against the will of the mother? All of these external environmental factors must be considered and found acceptable in order for one to truly say that "God approves" that another soul come into the world."
As Mary Ann points out in the comments section, shouldn't Jesus himself have been aborted according to this criteria? Wasn't He born into abject poverty, in a barn, to an unwed mother?
Rubottom argues that babies shouldn't be carried to term if the external environmental factors are unfavorable. Yet even a child born into a stable, upper-class family is certain to experience some degree of pain and hardship during her life. This "exterior environment" argument just seems so…arbitrary. Is there even such as thing as an ideal environment for bringing a new soul into the world?
Throughout the article, Rubottom spends a good deal of time arguing that the human body is merely a "container", and that the soul is created as a "process" during human development. Yet, astonishingly, he shows no interest in even attempting to define when a human life becomes valuable and worth protecting.
When should we start protecting human life, and why? This ought to be the first question that's asked.

THE only time a taser gun has been fired at a human in Wales was last August, when police were called to a domestic disturbance in Rhyl.
"A man was threatening police officers with a knife," said a North Wales Police spokeswoman yesterday.
"The taser was deemed a less lethal device than shooting."
The offender was hit with three taser spikes, and afterwards deputy chief constable Bill Brereton promised an investigation into the triple dose of electricity.
He said the man's only wounds were small puncture holes caused by the barbs and were it not for the taser option the man might have been shot with a lead bullet.

Chef Mandy is a delight to work with! Her ability to present food with an artistic flare is what sets her apart from other caterers. Our patrons are continually giving us rave reviews on the food and wine that she selects. The beautiful presentation and fantastic flavors make "The Inspired Gourmet" the only one we use at our many gallery shows.
James Thorn
Owner- Exclusive Collections Galleries
Mandy Braidic catered our 2009 Christmas Party for approximately 55 people. She was extremely well prepared and organized, arrived well in advance of the event, served a wide variety of delicious food that was beautifully presented and was very efficient with the service. Everyone loved the food and several guests asked her card for their own future events. We highly recommend Mandy and the Inspired Gourmet.
Amanda Wynn
Assistant to the CEO

Mandy cooked an incredible pasta dinner for my family. The kids devoured every bit of it. It was hot, delicious and on time! She even included a tasty dessert. Mandy labeled everything and had directions with each item. My kids asked if Mandy could cook for us every week! Mandy's food is amazing!
Julina Bert
We have used Mandy and her staff several times and we consistently get amazing, healthy, creative food along with great presentation and professional service. Mandy is always willing to work within any budget and offers many options for all occasions.
The Rose Family
For the past three years it has been our pleasure to have Mandy Braidic cater our company party. She always exceeds our expectations in terms of quality, service and fun. We appreciate her menu flexibility, professionalism and the pride she takes in creating flavorful dishes.
Cheers to Mandy!
Kurt and Harriett Davey
The Inspired Gourmet takes the stress out of my life when I know certain days of the week there isn't going to be enough time to prepare a nice dinner. I get a 3 course meal that has new flavors, always delicious and very easy to heat up with simple directions! Mandy always cooks with fresh ingredients that my family thinks I made from scratch. It would take me 4 hours to shop and prepare these kinds of meals. It's reasonable and my husband and kids love them!
Susanne Davis
Mandy Braidic is an amazing chef. Her food is delicious and the presentation is impeccable. She is so easy to work with and goes out of her way to add all those little extra special touches that makes a party more of "an event". I can't say enough about what a delight it is to work with Mandy. Bon Appetit!
Jennifer Sutton
I was the fortunate recipient of the gift of a meal made by Mandy Braidic. WOW! My husband and I, as well as our 7 and 8 year olds, loved the salmon and orzo – the girls even enjoyed the salad! Of course, no meal is complete without dessert, and Mandy didn't let us down! What a treat to have a delicious, healthy dinner that everyone raves about and I didn't have to slave over! Time for me to learn how to make some of these wonderful dishes…

The Children by Ann Leary
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
3.5 stars
Old money meets love and deceit in Ann Leary's novel The Children.
The children are all adults now: Perry and Spin, the sons of Whit Whitman and scions of the wealthy Whitman family; Sally and Charlotte, daughters of Whit's second wife Joan; and Everett, son of the groundskeeper of Lakeside, the grand Whitman lake house.
Whit and Joan married when Sally and Charlotte were little and Spin was still a baby, so the children all grew up together. Not Whitmans in name, Sally and Charlotte saw Whit as their father and were accepted as family, but they were not made heirs to the Whitman fortune.
Whit died two years previously but provided for Joan to remain at the lake until her death, and she and Charlotte still live there. Sally is a violinist in New York, Perry is married and living in the Hamptons, and Spin, now 26, is teaching and living at the private boarding school up the road where all the Whitmans went to school and Whit had been a trustee.
The arrangement holds until Spin meets his future wife. With her arrival, the cracks in the foundation are exposed and widened. Sally and Charlotte have their own issues that come into play, but it's Charlotte's occupation--successful mommy blogger when she has no children--that bring to light the least savory aspects of the new reality.
Ann Leary captures an old family in transition and an aspect of new Internet culture at once. Told from Charlotte's point of view, the novel is most engaging when describing the quirks and joys of life at Lakeside. There are a great many things going on in this novel, not all of which feel as if they are examined thoroughly. Perhaps it is true to life, but not many of the characters change dramatically in the end, either. Although I enjoyed reading this book, I saw the big plot elements coming. I'd say The Children would make a good beach read.
I received a digital galley from NetGalley.

Steve Case, the former AOL Chairman, looks thin and fresh as he takes the podium. He's here in Stanford's Hewlett hall, taking a photo of the audience before launching into his speech. "You don't look so great as a group," he cracks.
Case is the co-architect of the biggest merger in history, the infamous AOL-Time Warner deal, which Vanity Fair journalist Nina Munk described in detail in her 2004 book, aptly titled "Fools Rush in." The merger was a failure, with both part of the new company ignoring the other one, and posting a loss of $99 billion in 2002 - still the all-time record for a company. Former Time Warner Inc. CEO Gerald Levin recently apologized for the merger, calling it "the worst business deal ever."
"We seem to be lacking entrepreneurship today. Old companies always play defense, and we need the new guys to play offense," declares Steve Case at one point. The remark might have had more to do with soccer than football - his daughter Annie, a Stanford freshman, plays defense for the women's soccer team. "She's here somewhere, but I won't embarrass her by asking to stand up," says Case.
That one sentence seems to sum up Case's explanation for why the merger failed. For him, Time Warner was the big, old company, playing defense, while AOL was the aggressive newcomer. "Vision without execution is hallucination," he says at one point, "and we should all accept responsibility for not making it work."
After being ousted as the Chairman of AOL Time Warner Inc. in 2003 - right before the company went back to its old name, "Time Warner Inc." - Case focused on his non-profit, Case Foundation, which helps fund and promote new projects "that can change the world."
"It feels like my early days - I'm in a garage, working on projects I like," says Case as he concludes the speech.

We finally did it!!! The "Great American Road Trip" and #1 on my travel bucket list!!! Here's our experience:
We live in Michigan so that was our starting point. We decided to see all of the sites on the way there and then just power drive to get home once we were done. It's really hard to get a room in Yellowstone. We booked a room one year prior to our trip and our options were limited! Once I had that night booked - the rest of the trip was planned.
Day 1: Our first nights stay was in Chicago. Why stop so close to home? It was my sons birthday. So, we spent the day shopping at the Lego store and celebrating at Rainforest Cafe. Unfortunately it rained for the majority of the day so we didn't get to enjoy a stroll through Millennium Park.
Day 2: We drove a lot! There was a lot of construction so it was a very long day. We finally made it to Sioux Falls, SD for a nights sleep.
|Almost missed this stop!
Although - there was a small one at the visitors center just a couple of miles ahead.
Day 3: Finally some fun!
|South Dakota Stops
The billboard ads for the Pioneer Auto Show (South Dakota Auto Museum) in Murdo, SD caught my husbands attention. It was a nice first stop for the day. There was a fee to get in. We almost passed but they offered to let the kids in for free so we decided to check it out. The kiddos were given a scavenger hunt to do while exploring. They turned it in at the end for a prize (a Frisbee). It was fun for the kiddos but got a little annoying as they were constantly looking for the next spot - instead of taking some time to look around at all the museum had to offer.
|It looks small from the outside but it's actually pretty large.
|And the horn works (the employee pushed it for us to hear)!
|Some extra things to keep the kiddos happy.
Next - a planned stop at 1880 Town. This was a fun first exposure to the old west. There is a fee to enter but it was worth it - especially to get a break from the car! Are you a fan of the movie Dances with Wolves? They have a lot of movie memorabilia!
Some pics of this fun town!
|Train Diner! Great food! It doesn't stay open late so keep track of the time if you want to eat here.
|Time for a show!
|"Tipping prevents bullet holes" - LOL!
My son made sure he saw that we left a tip ;-)
|We enjoyed some soda pop and popcorn while listening to live country music.
They offer a variety of drinks and snack in the Saloon (for a cost).
You can also rent costumes from here to wear around the town for pictures (you can take your own pics).
|I loved towns like this when I was little!
|My son was obsessed with taking pictures of the rocks ;-)
Next stop - Badlands National Park! Check out my blog post on this here.
The roads are plastered with Wall Drug advertisements for MILES!!! You can't see all of that and not stop! Some travelers are disappointed once they get there but just keep in mind that it is a huge tourist trap! There is free water, I never found the 5 cent coffee, and the water park is more like a small splash pad. We were disappointed in the homemade ice cream. They all tasted and looked like vanilla (not raspberry, strawberry cheesecake, ...). We didn't try the chocolate so maybe that was good... All that aside, it's a nice opportunity to get out of the car!
|From our house :-)
The front section of the building is full of fun decor and stores.
|This guy is located in the "back yard mall".
Every 12 minutes he "looks for food".
It's worth checking out if you are around close to the start time.
|There are a lot of activities to explore in the lot between the two buildings.
It can't be seen from the street so you have to walk through the front building to access this.
There are plenty of places to eat within Wall Drug. Some close early in the day. We ate dinner at this one. It was full of native American art.
A place to tie up your horse :-)
We ran out of time on day 3 but Rapid City, SD offers a free Dinosaur Park with huge cement dinosaur statues. Our day 3 ended with a nights stay in Keystone, SD.
Day 4: Our first stop - Mount Rushmore National Memorial. Check out my blog post here.
Next we stopped at Deadwood, SD. This is a famous and popular town that has a lot of history. I had heard this place was interesting and worth a visit. I had also heard that it was disappointing because it's not really an "old" town anymore. I have been to Virginia City, Nevada and I have to say that I really didn't like Deadwood.... However, if you like to drink and/or ride motorcycle it looks like a fun place to spend a couple of days. Deadwood is very close to Sturgis, SD which draws "bikers" from all over the country. One bit of caution - once a friend of mine visited Deadwood on what turned out to be a big "biker" week. It was insanely busy for someone who was just passing through. Pass through is exactly what we did. We had a busy schedule so there wasn't time to explore much.
|If you have the time - there are a lot of fun "shows" that take place around the town.
Time to explore Wyoming!!!
|Map of our Wyoming travels.
The Wyoming visitors centers are pretty cool! This one was right on the North East corner of the state - near Devils Tower.
|My dads favorite saying!
|Dress up!
|Great reading material!
|Sticker collecting!
Each visitors center had some stickers but not all.
We collected these through out our visit.
|Yep - Yellowstone is going to be COLD!
Thankfully I had a friend that was there a couple of days before us - she warned me to bring some warm clothing.
Devils Tower National Monument was a must see for us. Here is my blog post telling you all about it.
The weather wasn't always great!
Day 4 ended with a nights stay in Gillette, WY.
Day 5:
|We spotted this place on the way through Wyoming.
There's a few sites and a nice visitors center with restroom.
|A solar compactor trash can!
|We saw this on the way out.
I couldn't resist taking a picture!
We had just enough time left in Day 5 to visit the Buffalo Bill Dam. Cody, Wy is also a great place to catch a rodeo. We didn't have time to stop before they closed but I also recommend the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. We caught the very end of a pow wow and native american art sale. It made me wish I would have known about it early enough to make it in time for the show.
|The parking lot is a hike away from the dam and visitors center.
There are a couple of handicap parking spots up close.
|The visitors center is pretty nice and there is a small museum section.
Visiting the dam is free!
Day 5 came to an end in Wapiti, WY which is located just outside the south entrance to Yellowstone National Park. I wanted to stop there because it was toward the end of our driving day and I wanted all of the next day to explore the park. We stayed at the Wapiti Lodge. I thought this was going to be a little rustic but it was actually very nice!
|Our room that I selected when making my reservation.
There are other types of rooms available.
They are very reasonably priced considering how much we paid for other nights of our trip!
|Shower too.
Breakfast and game room area:
|Restrooms in the back corner.
|A little dusty up there.
|For your dirty dishes and trash.
|Great spot outside to have a fire and visit.
|Great view!
We had no clue where to get something to eat. The lodge recommended a couple of places. One was cheap (price) and the other wasn't cheap but tasted good. We opted for the better tasting food that was about 4 miles from the lodge.
|Kind of hard to spot but look for this sign and turn right onto the lower road.
|Small place with fancy table settings.
I think there were only two people working.
|Not cheap!
|Thankfully they had a vegetarian special for the day.
It tasted GREAT!!!
|My husbands meal that he loved!
My daughter had chicken strips. She thought they were really great!
Day 6: Yellowstone National Park. Check out my blog post here.
Day 7 and 8: Grand Tetons National Park (my blog post)
Day 9 and 10: Jackson Hole, WY (my blog post).
Day 11 and 12: The LONG drive home!!! We had horrible weather the entire trip home! The rain and wind were very dangerous!
|We saw this one on day 11.
|Day 12 - semi tipped that they are pulling all of the cargo out of.
|Another one on day 12 that was tipped - they are trying to pull up.

Hummingbird tongue
Posted in Bugs and little critters, Travel on Oct 1st, 2008
Did you know that hummingbirds have tongues? And did you know that they use them when they're drinking nectar? Their beaks open slightly and their tongues shoot in and out of their mouths to lap the nectar up.
