Butternut is such a lovable winter squash. My dad grew loads of them on his 10-acre plot bisected by the Klamath River, a rural piece of Shangri-La 15 miles south of the Oregon border. The place where he decided to spend his retirement was serene – part fruit orchards, part vegetable gardens, part endless beautification projects.
As for his prized butternut squashes, my late father had grown other varieties of hard, thick-skinned winter squash before butternut love struck; deep-green acorns, blimp-like Hubbards, even holiday pumpkins. But in his 80s, he said he couldn't be bothered with "runner-ups."
"Nothing can beat the taste of butternut squash; they're so sweet and meaty," he would exclaim in his trademark booming voice, adding that pound per pound, you get so much more to eat.
"Whyyyyyy, you can take those others, peel 'em, cut 'em, and well, throw 'em out the window."
He was never short on opinions and wasn't shy about sharing.
So for the last 10 years of his life, his winter squash-growing soil was devoted to butternuts. Amid masses of tangled vines and leaves, those smooth, buff-colored gourds grew their long, stocky necks. Dazzling orange delectability packed those necks, stretching 6 to 10 inches above their seed-filled, bulb-like bottoms. And there was little waste – practically everything but the thin skin and a few seeds and membranes were eaten (some folks like to toast the seeds and eat them, too).
I remember how Dad taught me to test them. Push them: They shouldn't give in to pressure. A soft winter squash is either immature or past the prime.
You don't need to refrigerate them until you cut them. Store in a cool location out of direct sunlight and they will last for weeks.
Dad's butternut cooking style was simple. He would wash but not peel them, slicing the necks into 3/4-inch-thick rings. Slathering the tops with butter, he'd season generously with herbs, salt and pepper. Then he'd bake them in a 350-degree oven until the tops were caramelized crisp and the inside portion was mushy-soft. Easy. He ate them crunchy skin and all.
Later, when he mastered the microwave, he would sometimes peel and dice them into a microwave-safe bowl, splash on a couple of tablespoons of water or apple juice, then cover and microwave about four to five minutes on high power. Drained, then mashed steaming hot, his bright-orange mixture was augmented with butter, ground cinnamon and salt.
Now I have to buy butternut squash because I don't have Dad's stash to choose from. I look for those with thick necks, scanning the piles at the market for those that are almost as big at the top as they are at the bulbous root end. I pick them up to see how heavy they are; those that seem weighty for their size contain more edible flesh.
Or I swing over to the portion of the produce section that has precut veggies. Cubes of butternut, peeled and seeded, are available in 12-ounce packages. They are ready for steaming, roasting, microwaving and braising. They are handy and a quick solution when time is short.
I don't think Dad would have approved of the ready-to-use approach. He liked keeping his knives sharp and looked forward to peeling and cutting. And I think he cherished the kitchen time spent with the edibles he grew. After all, he watched them grow up.

I agree RunningJump, hes gonna feed those big guys and make their job alot easier. Hes averaged all those assists these past few years with average teammates, just imagine the picks dwight and pau will set for him and how dangerous he'll be coming off those picks whether hes takin an open jumpshot or dishin
Sorry if I sound butt hurt but that's not the case in any shape or form. I mean its not the first time some others picked an X team over Miami. Nothing personal. It's an opinion and every has different POVs. So again, my bad if i came off like sensitive. And it's not surprising the fans of other teams will go against the Heat. Am I lying?
Back to Lakers, Pau isn't a good defender. Kobe and Meta aren't wht they were a few years back but can be given their respect for their defensive capabilities. I'm just saying that a OKC still looks like the most superior in the west but the lakers and a plethora of other teams are in the mix as well.
Back to the article, the only things I'm confused about wht SVG said was that the Knicks and Nets are lower tier playoff teams. I don't know if he means 7th and 8th seed teams or Something like that. I don't see either team that low this year honestly speaking.
When it comes to the Lakers vs Thunder in a series .. Thunder in 7
When it comes to the Lakers vs Heat in a series .. Heat in 6
The Heat and Thunder have so much speed invested in their game-plan the past two seasons .. both teams can afford to invest in veteran halfcourt closers (Ray Allen) to add to their rotation. Plus Westbrook backup "speedy" Maynor is back this season.
We all should know the Lakers are not finish building their postseason team .. I see the Lakers trading weakassset Pau before the February trade dead-line.
I voted for Kidd as the starting PG. He still has something left in the tank to lead this Knicks team.
My biggest concern going into the season continues to be STAT. Will he continue to regress or will he regain his superstar form? Can he play with Melo? We need the old STAT back to be a contender.

|I think this is the route I did. WIth so many names be tossed around, I can't be so sure. Everything I read made this seem like such an elusive rout finding challange, but to my surprise, I had no touble at all finding and staying on route. Hook right at the tarn to go up the talus slope, at the top, cut left along the obvious ridge that runs parallel to the face of Middle Pal, turn 90 degrees right at the intersecting ridge formed by the moraine and head stragight for the face. Where it deadends at the face, you can either go up a very steep and loos ramp to the right following the extremely obvious red rock, or go left across the top right corner of the left glacier. I chose the later; it was only about 25 feet of low angle sun-cups that I had no problem booting across with trecking poles. When you hit the face, look right and there is an obvious chimney that is easily climbed. From there just go straight up to the summit. At the summit you'll find an awkward north facing crack about chest high that leads to the summit can.

of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
This version of the GNU Lesser General Public License incorporates
the terms and conditions of version 3 of the GNU General Public
License, supplemented by the additional permissions listed below.
0. Additional Definitions.
As used herein, "this License" refers to version 3 of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, and the "GNU GPL" refers to version 3 of the GNU
General Public License.
"The Library" refers to a covered work governed by this License,
other than an Application or a Combined Work as defined below.
An "Application" is any work that makes use of an interface provided
by the Library, but which is not otherwise based on the Library.
Defining a subclass of a class defined by the Library is deemed a mode
of using an interface provided by the Library.
A "Combined Work" is a work produced by combining or linking an
Application with the Library. The particular version of the Library
with which the Combined Work was made is also called the "Linked
The "Minimal Corresponding Source" for a Combined Work means the
Corresponding Source for the Combined Work, excluding any source code
for portions of the Combined Work that, considered in isolation, are
based on the Application, and not on the Linked Version.
The "Corresponding Application Code" for a Combined Work means the
object code and/or source code for the Application, including any data
and utility programs needed for reproducing the Combined Work from the
Application, but excluding the System Libraries of the Combined Work.
1. Exception to Section 3 of the GNU GPL.
You may convey a covered work under sections 3 and 4 of this License
without being bound by section 3 of the GNU GPL.
2. Conveying Modified Versions.
If you modify a copy of the Library, and, in your modifications, a
facility refers to a function or data to be supplied by an Application
that uses the facility (other than as an argument passed when the
facility is invoked), then you may convey a copy of the modified
a) under this License, provided that you make a good faith effort to
ensure that, in the event an Application does not supply the
function or data, the facility still operates, and performs
whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful, or
b) under the GNU GPL, with none of the additional permissions of
this License applicable to that copy.
3. Object Code Incorporating Material from Library Header Files.
The object code form of an Application may incorporate material from
a header file that is part of the Library. You may convey such object
code under terms of your choice, provided that, if the incorporated
material is not limited to numerical parameters, data structure
layouts and accessors, or small macros, inline functions and templates
(ten or fewer lines in length), you do both of the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the object code that the
Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License.
b) Accompany the object code with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
4. Combined Works.
You may convey a Combined Work under terms of your choice that,
taken together, effectively do not restrict modification of the
portions of the Library contained in the Combined Work and reverse
engineering for debugging such modifications, if you also do each of
the following:
a) Give prominent notice with each copy of the Combined Work that
the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are
covered by this License.
b) Accompany the Combined Work with a copy of the GNU GPL and this license
c) For a Combined Work that displays copyright notices during
execution, include the copyright notice for the Library among
these notices, as well as a reference directing the user to the
copies of the GNU GPL and this license document.
d) Do one of the following:
0) Convey the Minimal Corresponding Source under the terms of this
License, and the Corresponding Application Code in a form
suitable for, and under terms that permit, the user to
recombine or relink the Application with a modified version of
the Linked Version to produce a modified Combined Work, in the
manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL for conveying
Corresponding Source.
1) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the
Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (a) uses at run time
a copy of the Library already present on the user's computer
system, and (b) will operate properly with a modified version
of the Library that is interface-compatible with the Linked
e) Provide Installation Information, but only if you would otherwise
be required to provide such information under section 6 of the
GNU GPL, and only to the extent that such information is
necessary to install and execute a modified version of the
Combined Work produced by recombining or relinking the
Application with a modified version of the Linked Version. (If
you use option 4d0, the Installation Information must accompany
the Minimal Corresponding Source and Corresponding Application
Code. If you use option 4d1, you must provide the Installation
Information in the manner specified by section 6 of the GNU GPL
for conveying Corresponding Source.)
5. Combined Libraries.
You may place library facilities that are a work based on the
Library side by side in a single library together with other library
facilities that are not Applications and are not covered by this
License, and convey such a combined library under terms of your
choice, if you do both of the following:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based
on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities,
conveyed under the terms of this License.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library that part of it
is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the
accompanying uncombined form of the same work.
6. Revised Versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the GNU Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new
versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Library as you received it specifies that a certain numbered version
of the GNU Lesser General Public License "or any later version"
applies to it, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that published version or of any later version
published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library as you
received it does not specify a version number of the GNU Lesser
General Public License, you may choose any version of the GNU Lesser
General Public License ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
If the Library as you received it specifies that a proxy can decide
whether future versions of the GNU Lesser General Public License shall
apply, that proxy's public statement of acceptance of any version is
permanent authorization for you to choose that version for the
TwentyTen Wordpress theme version under symfony sfThemePlugin, as in http://2010dev.wordpress.com/ or http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/twentyten.

From sfTheme2Plugin README
Because a dead plugin named sfThemePlugin is parked at the symfony-project site, this package is just a placeholder for the real sfThemePlugin which is located at http://github.com/weaverryan/sfThemePlugin.
While waiting weaverryan pull requests on sfThemePlugi to be accepted, you must use my fork:
Instaling Requirement
cd /path_to_symfony_project/
git submodule add git://github.com/rafaelgou/sfThemePlugin.git plugins/sfThemePlugin
cd plugins/sfThemePlugin
git submodule init
git submodule update
Activate the plugin in the
config/ProjectConfiguration.class.php (if not instaled via package)
class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration
public function setup()
Install the plugin (via a package - not avaliable yet)
./symfony plugin:install themeTwentytenPlugin

./symfony plugin:publish-assets
Clear Cache (if not instaled via package)
./symfony cc
Optionally, activate the demo module in
all: .settings: enabled_modules: [default, ( ...other stuff ), theme_twentyten_demo]
And you can access it with
http://www.your_symfony_domain.com/theme_twentyten_demo and
the XHTML Test Page in
It's important start reading sfThemePlugin documentation: http://www.symfony-project.org/plugins/sfTheme2Plugin/0_8_0?tab=plugin_readme
Edit your
default_theme: twentyten
And it's done.
Two templates are avaliables:
Under sfThemePlugin structure, both are called theme. So, must refered them as themes, not as templates, unlike Wordpress.
More information you can get bellow on themeTwentytenPlugin internals.
Wordpress has a lot of functions to use inside off a theme. There'is not really interesting to "clone" Wordpress funcionality - well, just use Wordpress, it's great. But symfony has a lot of funcionalities, really cools, but no template themes.
The sfSympalPlugin is a CMS plugin with a interesting theme manager, fortunately avaliable as standand alone plugin.
After some adjustments, it's now possible to create themes plugins, with the following structure.
|-- config
| `-- app.yml
|-- i18n
| `-- mytheme.pt_BR.xml
|-- modules
| `-- theme_mytheme_demo
| |-- actions
| | `-- actions.class.php
| |-- lib
| | `-- Basetheme_mytheme_demoActions.class.php
| `-- templates
| |-- indexSuccess.php
| `-- xhtmlTestPageSuccess.php
|-- templates
| |-- _footer.php
| |-- _header.php
| |-- _nav.php
| |-- _sidebar.php
| |-- mytheme.php
| `-- mytheme_onecolumn-page.php
`-- web
|-- images
| `-- image1.png
| `-- image2.png
`-- style.css
You can access the theme configuration on
layout: twentyten
templates_dir: themeTwentytenPlugin/templates/
stylesheets: [../themeTwentytenPlugin/style.css]
javascripts: []
# theme specific
header_image: path.jpg
# other wordpress template (sfThemePlugin theme or subtheme)
layout: twentyten_onecolumn-page
templates_dir: themeTwentytenPlugin/templates/
stylesheets: [../themeTwentytenPlugin/style.css]
javascripts: []
# theme specific
header_image: sunset.jpg
First, the "id" of the themes are under all/theme/themes YAML tree:
The options:
layout: twentyten
templates_dir: themeTwentytenPlugin/templates/
are mandatory. layout is the template file with
.php extension under templates_dir.
See Directory and file structure above.
The options:
stylesheets: [../themeTwentytenPlugin/style.css]
javascripts: []
are optionals, but at least stylesheets are almost mandatory. It can point to
any CSS file, a array of CSS files. The default location (under
web directory inside the plugin,
with no
css/ for easy importing from Wordpress themes) are referenced with
This is because symfony looks for stylesheets under
web/css, and as
web/ directory
is public, and the assets for de plugin are linked under web/themeTwentytenPlugin. This
practice makes really simple import Wordpress themes (and other kind of themes as well).
The same principals applys the javascripts.
To facilitate, the sfThemePlugin already loads I18N helper.
All theme specific translation relies under
i18n/ directory, with the format:
# Example:
# or in case
In templates you can do string translations as simple as:
<?php echo __('About', '', 'twentyten') ?>
or, with parameters, as simple as:
<?php echo __('Posted on %1%', array('%1%'=>'08 set 2010'), 'twentyten') ?>
You can, of course, use others translations avaliable on the project, passing other catalogues as third parameter of function.
i18ntwentyten.pt_BR.xml of themeTwentytenPlugin is just an example, don't want to
be a complete translation for the theme (as I don't know your focus).
themeTwentytenPlugin/config/app.yml and add your template information:
# ( ...other stuff )
description: Wordpress TwentyTen
layout: twentyten_newtemplate
templates_dir: themeTwentytenPlugin/templates/
stylesheets: [../themeTwentytenPlugin/style.css]
javascripts: []
# theme specific
header_image: sunset.jpg
Create the template file under
themeTwentytenPlugin/templates/, that MUST be
layout option followed by
.php extension. A good start is to copy from another
cd themeTwentytenPlugin/templates/
cp twentyten.php twentyten_newtemplate.php
To get any config information, use in template the
sf_theme variable:
# _header.php
<?php echo image_tag('../themeTwentytenPlugin/images/headers/' .
array('alt'=>'Header Images')) ?>
You MUST use the theme name as a prefix, as symfony can get this name as global
templates directly. So, is a REALLY BAD idea use names as
Just edit the template as a normal symfony template, of course you MUST include the content somewhere with the code:
<?php echo $sf_content ?>
Mimeting the Wordpress templates, header, footer, nav and sidebar are symfony partials, as _header.php, _footer.php, _nav.php and _sidebar.php - and only visible for the plugin itself. This is, saying again, to "clone" the Wordpress templates, but not mandatory.
But the important thing is that you can't call this partials with
include_partial function
inside the templates as you used to - symfony won't find them, even if you user the
<?php include_partial('global/header') ?>
syntax. The framework will look at
apps/YOUR_APPLICATION/templates directory, so, it's useless.
The right way is to use
include_theme_partial as you can see in
themeTwentytenPlugin/templates/twentyten.php template
<?php include_theme_partial('header') ?>

<?php include_theme_partial('sidebar') ?>

<?php echo $sf_content ?>

<?php include_theme_partial('footer') ?>
An advice: it could hard, depending on complexity of the theme. This guidelines were used to create this plugin, so, you can use as a good start point.
IMPORTANT: sfThemePlugin must be installed, of course. You'd better play a little with themeTwentytenPlugin before go ahead.
Don't just copy this plugin! Make your own clean plugin! You'd better install and use the sfTaskExtraPlugin that turns the work so much simple - that's what we're going to guide you know.
./symfony plugin:install sfTaskExtraPlugin
Now, considering you are going to create the theme 'Basic', use the followings command:
./symfony generate:plugin themeBasicPlugin
./symfony generate:plugin-module themeBasicPlugin theme_basic_demo
to create the plugin and a demo module (really usefull as we'll soon).
Create the missing directories:
mkdir plugins/themeBasicPlugin/templates
mkdir plugins/themeBasicPlugin/web
If you want to internatinalized the theme, create also:
mkdir plugins/themeBasicPlugin/i18n
Unpack the Wordpress Theme under plugins/themeBasicPlugin/web, with no root directory, getting something like that:
`-- web
|-- 404.php
|-- archive.php
|-- attachment.php
|-- author.php
|-- category.php
|-- comments.php
|-- editor-style-rtl.css
|-- editor-style.css

|-- page.php
|-- rtl.css
|-- screenshot.png
|-- search.php
|-- sidebar-footer.php
|-- sidebar.php
|-- single.php
|-- style.css
`-- tag.php
You must left only images, CSS and JS files. So, in this case, you will remain with just:
|-- images
| |-- headers
| | |-- berries-thumbnail.jpg
| | |-- berries.jpg
| | |-- cherryblossoms-thumbnail.jpg

|-- editor-style-rtl.css

As we want a basic support, so we just need the
style.css stylesheet.
Activate the plugin in the
class ProjectConfiguration extends sfProjectConfiguration { public function setup() { $this->enablePlugins(array( 'sfThemePlugin', 'themeBasicPlugin', '...' )); } }
Publish assets for the plugin
./symfony plugin:publish-assets
Clear Cache (if not instaled via package)
./symfony cc
Activate the demo module in
all: .settings: enabled_modules: [default, ( other stuff ), theme_basic_demo]
Create the file
plugins/themeBasicPlugin/config/app.yml, pointing to the CSS and JS
files in your theme:
description: Basic Theme
layout: basic
templates_dir: themeBasicPlugin/templates/
stylesheets: [../themeBasicPlugin/style.css]
javascripts: []
And create the themeBasicPlugin/templates/basic.php
touch plugins/themeBasicPlugin/templates/basic.php
To facilitate the conversion, let's create some demo pages. The most simple is use the XHTML Test Page as index of the demo. Copy from the themeTwentyentPlugin as the following command:
cp plugins/themeTwentytenPlugin/modules/theme_twentyten_demo/templates/xhtmlTestPageSuccess.php \
and create the action in plugins/themeBasicPlugin/modules/theme_basic_demo/action/actions.class.php
require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../lib/Basetheme_basic_demoActions.class.php';
* theme_twentyten_demo actions.
* @package themeBasicPlugin
* @subpackage theme_basic_demo
* @author Your name here
* @version SVN: $Id: actions.class.php 12534 2008-11-01 13:38:27Z Kris.Wallsmith $
class theme_basic_demoActions extends Basetheme_basic_demoActions
public function executeIndex(sfWebRequest $request)
Now you have a test page accessible from
Note that we didn't set this theme as default (see "Configuring the TwentyTen theme") as is useless, so,
?sf_theme=basic puts in the session this theme as active. Enough for developing.
Well, this part is as artesanal as the complexity of the Wordpress Theme. Use the following as guidelines:
index.php in the Wordpress Theme and convert to
get_sidebar(), etc -
as partials - i.e,
_sidebar.php, etc.
_header.php and
_footer.php in themeTwentytenPlugin has a good basic structure.
You should think about star with then and merge your on stuff.
Back to the sfTaskExtraPlugin. It will help to package the plugin
./symfony plugin:package themeBasicPlugin
Now inside the themeBasicPlugin you get the package, something like themeBasicPlugin.tar.gz, and you can install in others projects.
Or, better, plublish in symfony repository...

The Washington Post's Dana Milbank clearly read the Republican budget proposal – or, read what was possible, at least. As he explains in his column today, the Republican budget proposed by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan is full of magic asterisks and undisclosed cuts:
"The former Republican vice presidential candidate's budget eliminates ___ loopholes in the tax code, cutting the ___ and the ____ deductions. It reduces spending on the ____ program by _____ and the _____ program by _____. Retirees would see ____, students would experience ____ and the poor would be _____."
"There are so many blanks in Ryan's budget that it could be a Mad Libs exercise. But this is not a game. It's black-box budgeting — an expression of lofty aims, with binders full of magic asterisks in lieu of specific cuts to government benefits."
But, when Rep. Paul Ryan does include to detail his budget proposals…
"…he continues to peddle the same ideas: the partial privatization of Medicare; a 10 percent reduction in the federal workforce; and cuts to Medicaid, food stamps, education, job training and farm programs."
Rep. Ryan may have forgotten, but many of those are the same unpopular proposals that the American voters rejected.
Instead of a budget that leaves us with more questions than answers or solutions, it's time for a responsible and real proposal that restores our fiscal credibility.

But not considered "high level" by most programmers.
Not in the larger sense, no. I agree that if we are talking about SQL vs. other languages, then it's useful to group assembly, C, and even C# and Java together to contrast to SQL. But Suicidolt seems to be having trouble with the very fundamental concepts of what makes a language higher level, and is especially fixated on number of instructions, so I was kind of moving from the SQL vs. other languages discussion to the most basic concept--abstraction (not that this concept hasn't already been tried; I was just trying to provide the simplest example of it I could think of).
"high level" is often used to mean "programming languages where you don't specify the algorithm directly."
This is a matter of degree. If I write in C, "z = y * 3 + x", then I haven't "specified the algorithm directly" in the same sense that I would have in assembly, where I would have to specify each step. I was able to use a mathematical expression that abstracts me away from the algorithm.
The important point Suicidolt needs to get is that higher-level refers to abstracting away details of the underlying architecture, and the level is determined by the amount of abstraction there is. That explains both why C is higher level than assembly, and why SQL is much higher level than C. It also explains why C# is in many cases the same level as C, even though C# compiles to more machine code.
It also explains why C would be a higher-level language than Lisp on a Symbolics 3600.

Bill Gross: I've Bought Spanish, Italian Bonds
After fretting about the euro zone's debt crisis for months, Bill Gross, manager of the world's biggest bond fund, is going through a change of heart toward the region's sovereign debt.
Mr. Gross, founder and co-chief investment officer at Pacific Investment Management Co., says he recently has bought government bonds sold by Spain and Italy. The catalyst: the European Central Bank's bond-buying program unveiled in early September, which he believes could allow policymakers in these troubled economies a short period of breathing room within which to address their fiscal woes.
"Spain and Italy are recent adds based on expectation that the ECB will buy them in a few weeks," Mr. Gross told Dow Jones Newswires in emailed comments Friday. He explained his philosophy in such situations as: "Buy what central banks buy before they buy them."

Liam Hemsworth at Spring Break Education Event 2013
The Hemsworth Brothers Team Up With Julianne Hough and More For Education
Chris, Liam, and Luke Hemsworth joined several celebrities in LA on Saturday for City Year's third annual Spring Break: Destination Education party, a fundraiser to keep at-risk students on the path to graduation. The Hemsworth brothers posed on the red carpet with AmeriCorps members — who serve as tutors, mentors, and role models to students — while television heartthrobs Ed Westwick and Max Greenfield followed suit. The nonprofit cause also brought out Julianne Hough, Rashida Jones, Hailee Steinfeld in a striped Dolce & Gabbana dress, Octavia Spencer, and others.
Inside the event, stars snacked on food, checked out interactive booths, and caught performances from DJ Sky Blu of LMFAO and Skylar Grey. Octavia was on hand to pass out City Year jackets as one of the organization's host committee members, which included Channing Tatum, Anne Hathaway, Vince Vaughn, and others who were unable to attend.

The triumph of Buddhist denialism: Buddhism without the Buddha
http://sujato.wordpress.com/2013/11/08/ ... he-buddha/
Is interesting not so much for the actual blog, but for the discussion that follows over what exactly can be known about early Buddhism. Hard to summarise in brief, but this comment (currently the last one, but I presume that won't last) is food for thought:
LLT / Dec 6 2013 11:10 pm wrote: ... From what I have seen, though, there are two different approaches to the study. When confronted with differences between texts, secular scholars tend to point these out as differences, while scholars associated with a monastic tradition sometimes go to great lengths to assure the reader of continuity and to "smooth over" any differences. I'm all for the academic study of early Buddhism, but it should be done without bias from traditional mythologies about the matter.


text: OK, not sure how I missed hearing about this one, but apparently Dayton Ward has an upcoming book called From History's Shadow. I just saw the cover and blurb here on The Trek Collective. I have to say, I'm really excited about this one. A Star Trek take on Majestic 12 and the Roswell/UFO "conspiracy"? Sounds like a lot of fun... can't wait! (I never thought about it before, but I guess based on "Little Green Men", in the Trek world, the conspiracy was real!) And that retro-looking cover is all kinds of awesome! The article on The Trek Collective doesn't mention a release date, and neither Memory Alpha or Beta seem to have this one listed. Anyone know when this one comes out? (The linked article also has the blurb for A Choice of Futures, but Christopher has already posted that one in the thread for that book.)

This is unbelievable! But, then again, I suppose I have had the same experience with java before. I'm sure it is a lack of experience in C++. So I hope you can help.
I created a class to keep a record of the employees:
-------------class Employees----------------
class Employees {
Employees ();
void addEmployees(string employee);
void Employees::addEmployees(string employee) {
//Just to check if it is getting here
MessageBox(hwnd, "addEmployee", "here",
-------------End class Employees----------------
So I created a new .h file, since I did not want to use the main.h file that is used for most of the interface utilities.
#include <windows.h>
#define Employees
-------End Employee.h----------------------
And in my main implementation.........
#include <windows.h>
#include "main.h"
#include <string>
#include "Employee.h"
I did actually name the . h file as Employee instead of Employees, in case you were wondering if the problem was that
using namespace std;
/* Declare WindowsProcedure */
/*Not applicable................from here to....*/
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);
BOOL CALLBACK AboutDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);
void FileBox(HWND hwnd, HWND hListBox);
/* Make the classname into a global variable */
char szClassName[] = "Schedule";
HINSTANCE hThisInstance;
HWND hListBox;
/*Not applicable... ............here */
//on the following line I get an error(see #1 below)
Employees employ;
So, when I try to compile, I get:
18 C:\Dev-Cpp\myProject\main.cpp
ISO C++ forbids declaration of `employ' with no type
I have followed many different tutorials to find a solution but have not yet found one. Hmmm...what to do........what to do.....

OCEAN CITY – In a bizarre accident in Ocean City this week, an elderly man apparently lost consciousness and then control of a large commercial dump truck he was driving, striking another vehicle stopped at an intersection before crashing into a first-floor condominium unit.
Around 8:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Ocean City Police and the Ocean City Fire Department responded to a reported collision involving a dump truck and a condominium building on 65th Street. The preliminary investigation revealed the commercial dump truck, driven by an 80-year-old man whose name has not been released, was heading southbound on Coastal Highway when it struck a Honda Accord stopped at a red light.
The collision forced the Honda, driven by an unidentified 82-year-old woman, into the intersection.
The dump truck then careened to the left across the northbound lanes of Coastal Highway, drove over the sidewalk on the northbound side and crashed into the first floor of the Sand Pebble Condominium before coming to a stop. Miraculously, the truck did not strike any other vehicles on the northbound side of the highway.
Ocean City Fire Department personnel and EMTs extricated the unidentified driver from the truck, the entire cab section of which was lodged in the first floor of the building. The entire front end, including the windshield, was crushed and remained inside the two first-floor units for well over an hour before a tow company removed the vehicle.
The driver of the truck was transported to Peninsula Regional Medical Center for treatment of unknown non-life-threatening injuries. Meanwhile, the elderly driver of the car struck by the truck was examined at the scene by paramedics and did not require further treatment.
The Ocean City Police traffic safety unit is investigating the accident, but the preliminary investigation revealed the driver of the dump truck might have suffered from a medical condition, which caused him to lose consciousness just prior to the accident, according to police reports. However, no charges had been filed, nor were any expected to be filed, as of mid-week.
Police and fire crews remained on the scene for several hours throughout the morning as traffic backed up on the northbound side of Coastal Highway. In addition, city engineer's staff remained on scene evaluating the structural damage of the building. The two units struck directly by the truck were unoccupied at the time, but some of the other units were occupied.
By Wednesday, the Sand Pebble condo building was not allowed to be occupied, according to City Engineer Terry McGean, who said the building would likely survive the collision, but there were several structural, electrical and plumbing issues to be resolved before it could be occupied again.
"The major issues are three-fold," he said. "In the area where the truck hit the building was a major electrical panel that needs to be checked out thoroughly before it can be even considered for occupancy. In addition, there was a bathroom in the area where the truck struck the building and they have to do a thorough inspection and cap any lines that were broken."
In terms of the structure itself, McGean said there was no indication in the initial inspection to suggest the building would have to be torn down.
"The good news is, no load-bearing walls were damaged significantly and there is no major damage to the primary framing of the structure," he said. "However, there was structural damage to the stairs and landings on that part of the building that provide egress to the other units of the building that will have to be repaired before it can be occupied again."

Cotton wool, in its various guises is something I always chuck in the trolley when doing a supermarket shop. It really doesn't matter how many packs I have in at home, I know I will use it all and an intensive nail art session can easily use up a half pack if I make a lot of mistakes (reference to water marbling in particular here!).
The purchase
I like shopping in Sainsburys, although I vary my trips around different supermarkets to aid choice. The basic range in Sainsburys holds no shameful association to being cheap really although these cotton wool pads really are at 60p.
In use
These are small and round, to be expected for the price. You get an impressive 80 in a pack which is a decent amount although I will talk you through my routine and you'll see why I get through so many!
The routine
I start with a water based micellar cleanser (one for the full face), then an oily eye make up remover (one per eye), a cream based cleanser (two pads) then back to the micellar water (one pad). This routine is morning and night. I also do other foaming and oil based cleansing in the bath as well as other face masks.
... and then there is the removal of manicures! (generally one per nail when dark colours are used).
Final word
These are cheap and cheerful and will certainly result in many more purchases in the future. A repurchase is on the cards.
With three females in the house, the monthly bill for toiletries and makeup can make me cringe if I decide to stop and tot it all up. Some expenses are unavoidable - but there are one or two ways in which I can trim it down a bit. Buying Sainsburys Basics Cotton Wool Pads rather than a branded item is one of them.
The product:
There are 80 pads in a pack which cost just 49p. (Sainsburys Fairtrade cotton wool pads are £1.91 for a pack of 100.) They are advertised as being 'soft & gentle, just a little bit smaller.' The pads are 100% pure cotton wool. They come in a long plastic bag with a drawstring top so they keep clean, ready for re-use.
Experience of the product:
They are used in our home chiefly for removing makeup and nail varnish; occasionally to apply moisturisers and smooth over foundation. Whilst a larger pad might feel more luxurious to use and these circular pads are only approx. 6cm across - they still do the job of a larger pad. When I buff over my foundation with these pads they feel soft and gentle on my skin. When I dab a little nail varnish remover on them they gently clean up my nails. Basically, they help to remove or apply whatever product you are using without getting it on your fingers. Then you dispose of the pad in the usual way.
They are soft, thick and absorbent enough to be an asset to the dressing table - and I consider them good value for money for the price. Would recommend.
As some of you may know I have a little poodle called Daisy. You maybe wondering why I am mentioning her on this review?! Well Daisy was rushed to the vets this afternoon very poorly indeed. She has a very nasty infection in her bottom that if not careful can lead to incontinence. I bought these pads to use with some special liquid you mix with water to clean the area along with other medication she was given. I am so worried about her she is the world to me.
The packaging~
Comes in a plastic cylinder shape bag. These are the Sainsbury's basic range cotton wool pads. He packet contains pads. They are a little smaller than than the leading brands however they still do the job in my opinion. These pads are made from 100% cotton and are suitable to e used by al the family even your pets! Dispose of these in your house hold waste what ever you do don't flush them down the toilet.
I bought these to use on my dogs bottom, however I use them to remove make up and for first aid use. Simply tear open the bag at the top and remove the pad. It has a string to open and close the bag to keep them clean and germ free. These pads are the same thickness however are smaller than the leading brands in my opinion.
They hold the liquid well and do the job as they should.
Available from Sainsbury's stores for 55p.
Daisy gives them a 3 out of 5.
I have used cotton wool pads for years and have tried many brands during this time. My main uses for these are to apply cleanser and toner to my face and to remove my make up at the end of the day. Earlier in the year I read a positive review of these cotton wool pads and as I have been trying more basic products in an effort to cut my outgoings I thought I would give these a try.
The packaging
These cotton wool pads are part of Sainsbury's basics range and so have the familiar orange and white packaging of all the products in this range. As with most cotton wool pads the plastic packaging gives you the option of opening it at either end. The bottom of the pack has a circle perforated that you can tear away to access the pads, on the couple of packs I've had the plastic has ripped rather than following the perforations but I am easily able to access the pads. The top opening is similar but has 2 strings that you can pull allowing you to hang these pads up in your bathroom if you wish. I have never done this and just keep them in the bathroom cupboard.
The cotton wool pads
The pads are made of 100% pure cotton and as such are softer than I was expecting them to be. Where they are lacking is in the size, they are noticeably smaller than other pads I've used and also thinner. In a pack you get approximately 80 pads, I am used to getting 100 pads in a pack so these don't last as long.
In terms of use I find they work well enough, I only wear light make up so by the end of the day it is mainly mascara that I am removing. These don't pull on my skin and feel gentle when I wipe them across my eyes. Being thinner I do find that my cleanser soaks through them and is coming out of the other side, this doesn't happen with other pads I have used.
Price and availability
These cotton wool pads are available from Sainsbury's stores and Sainsbury's online, costing only 49p they are great value for money. I was worried that I would end up needing to use more of these pads to compensate for the poorer quality therefore making them less cost effective, this has not been the case I'm pleased to say.
Would I recommend?
Yes these are great for everyday use but if you want to remove heavy make up then you are probably better off spending a bit more.
When it comes to cotton pads I am not particularly fussy about which brand that I use as long as they are decent quality and a reasonable price.
Saying that though I do tend to stay away from worryingly cheap cotton pads because in my experience they are rubbish quality to the point of being unuseable. This is a review of the Sainsbury's basics cotton wool pads which retail at 49 pence per pack of eighty. My boyfriend picked 2 packs of these up for me when he did the grocery shopping and I couldn't believe the price!
The cotton pads come stacked on top of each other in a thin, transparent plastic packet. The branding as you'd expect for such a cheap product is very minimal - it simply has the brand and product name written in orange writing. It is not very attractive or eye catching, which doesn't bother me at all because it's the product inside that counts. The packet has a very thin drawstring on either side of the opening so it can easily be opened and closed.
The cotton pads themselves are identical to a majority of other cotton pads; white and round and average in size. The texture on both sides is completely smooth but the texture isn't very nice, it is quite soft but when it's dry it can feel a bit harsh/a little scratchy on my skin. When used with cleanser and toner though it isn't as noticeable and it doesn't hurt or irritate my skin. The pads are very thin - almost like toilet tissue and toner/make-up remover soaks right through them so I find it necessary to use 3-4 pads each time I use them so that the liquid isn't dripping out.
With cleanser the cotton pads can go really bitty and leave fibres stuck to my skin and break up unless I use several at a time so they are not actually great value for money considering I've used over half a pack in under a week!
Overall, I don't recommend these and I'd rather pay a pound or so extra for more durable cotton pads. Two out of five stars.
I used to just buy cotton wool pads wherever I happened to be shopping at the time whenever I'd ran out of them, so it ranged from Boots and Superdrug, to Sainsburys and Tesco etc. I normally just bought whichever cotton pads looked like the best value, I never bought the cheapest, thinnest ones though I'm not that much of a skinflint. That was until I discovered the organic cotton rounds from The Body Shop, and I've been using these religiously ever since. So why I am now reviewing Sainsburys Basics cotton wool pads then? Well I'd ran out of my Body Shop cotton rounds, and my husband was calling into Sainsburys on the way home from work, I asked him to pick me up a packet of cotton wool pads and these were the ones that he came home with.
These were 49 pence for a packet of 80 cotton wool pads, and they come packaged like cotton wool pads you'd buy anywhere, all stacked on top of one another in a clear bag with the drawstring top so that you can close the packet to keep your remaining cotton wool pads clean and dust free. They obviously also have the 'very classy' orange Sainsburys Basics packaging.
The cotton wool pads are the small round circular shape, and I have to say that they are certainly very small and thin and flat compared to my Body Shop ones. They also seem to feel quite rough and harsh and that's just rubbing them between my fingers never mind across my face or my eyes. So I've been using these cotton wool pads for about a week now and I can honestly say that I think they are rubbish!
I've used them with nail varnish remover to take off nail polish, and they are rubbish. They soak up all the nail varnish remover and they basically just seem to fall apart when I've tried to scrub off a dark nail polish. They also seem to shred and leave bits of the cotton pad behind on my nails.
I've used them with make up remover to take off my eye make up, and again they are rubbish. Again they soak up all the make up remover and don't hold their shape very well. The worst thing about them though is that they are rough and so they seem to irritate and scratch the delicate skin around my eyes. My eyes have been red and sore after using these cotton pads. And once again they seem to shred and leave bits of the cotton pad behind around my eyes and caught in my lashes, this along with the harshness of the pads themselves really seems to irritate my eyes.
These must be the roughest, harshest cotton wool pads that I've ever used. Also because they are so thin they just seem to soak up all of the product that I put on them, they then fall apart very easily and just don't hold their shape very well at all. I also find that I use a lot more product with these as most of it just soaks into the cotton wool pad, this then really makes the cotton wool pads false economy for someone on a budget as, yes, they are very cheap but you will end up using a lot more of your products than you need to with these and so you will end up replacing your products sooner than necessary.
I can honestly say that I won't be buying these again, and I certainly wouldn't recommend them.
I of course like to buy some things on the cheap where possible, so when I saw these cotton wool pads on Sainsburys for 49p for a pack of 80 surely enough they knew they were going to be bought. I initially bought them with the intention of using them for removing nail polish but since they have proved to be much more useful in other ways!
They come in super basic packaging of a thin plastic casing in the shape of a cylinder. At the top the can be torn open along a perforation but has drawstrings at either side to pull it closed so all the wool pads don't fall out. Being of the basics brand they have the minimalist white label with an orange border but seeing as these live in the back of my bathroom cupboard I am not too fussed about the look of the pack really!
The wool pads themselves are circular and quite thin. Pulling them out the bag I often take out one or 2 as I can never quite judge where one pad ends and the new one begins! The quality of them of course represents the cheapness, they are really thin and fall apart quite easily - showing the pads have been poorly formed out of a big wad of cotton wool.
However, saying all that these are really practical and I have had no problems using them! They are easy to dab on some nail polish remover and work away at my nails without the pad becoming a big fluff ball or sticking to my nails altogether. I also tend to use these when I apply toner to my face after I wash my face. I dab the toner on the pad and give it a good quick sweep around my face and these pads are really soft and do a great job. Being that they are smaller I do use 2 just so as to make sure I get an even amount of toner on my face but that is not problematic. Recently my daughter has (what I suspect to be anyway, we don't have a drs appointment until tomorrow) chickenpox and so today I got some Calamine lotion from Boots and have been dabbing this on her few spots using these cotton wool pads. These have been handy as they allow me to gently apply the lotion to small areas of her body and these are easy to use and I can throw them away afterwards!
Overall 49p for 80 pads = 0.6p per pad! This is fab value in my book and the fact that the packaging is cheap quality and the pads are bit thinner are of no problem to me. I bought this pack a good month or so ago now and I really haven't needed to use that many so these will last me ages. I totally recommend them!
Recently I was in need of some more cotton wool. I usually opt for the pads instead of the cotton wool balls as I find they don't come apart as easily and so I don't end up with bits of cotton wool stuck to me! I usually just purchase a shops own brand of cotton wool such as Boots or Asda and so it wasn't any different when I spotted these cotton wool pads in the Sainsbury's basics range. I rarely shop in Sainsbury's and so haven't really tried anything from their basics range before, but as these cotton wool pads cost only 49p for 80, I thought there was no harm in trying them.
The pads themselves are a reasonable thickness, just the usual size that I am used to. I only use these for when I cleanse and tone my face when I am not in a rush, otherwise I opt to use a facial wipe instead. They are also quite soft and so gentle on my face.
I also use these to remove nail varnish. For both of these jobs the cotton wool pads do a great job and don't 'tear' apart whilst using them. I often need to use more than one when removing nail varnish from all of my nails but this has always been the case and so isn't because they aren't as good a quality as cotton wool pads I have used in the past.
I am not sure how these cotton wool pads would be for any other uses as I don't use them for any other reasons. I don't think they are as thick as other cotton wool pads I have seen my friends use, but if like me and you only use them to remove nail polish or for applying lotion on your face, they do an excellent job at this and I cannot fault them.
The cotton wool pads come in a thin plastic sleeve which has a drawstring at the top so the packet can be pulled shut, preventing any from falling out.
They are available from Sainsbury's as well as online if you like to do your grocery shopping online. These are priced at 49p for 80 which is the cheapest I have found cotton wool pads. I will certainly be purchasing these again!
When I buy cotton pads or wool I just usually buy the ones that catch my eye at the time and do not have a favourite brand and I often like to buy a shops own brand as they are affordable and good value for money. Recently I bought these pads from Sainsbury's and they are the basics range of their own brands and are a little cheaper in price and very affordable.
They come in a transparent plastic wrapper, it is kind of like a tube and the pads are stacked inside, at the top of the pack there are 2 sets of strings, one the pads have been opened these 2 strings close the top of the packet to keep the pads inside the packet to keep them nice and clean and ready to use.
Each pad measures approximately 2 inches diameter, they are white and the texture of each one is very soft and smooth. They are 100% cotton and they feel very soft and gentle on the skin. I like to use them to remove my make up sometimes, they are easy enough to hold and the size is just right to glide across my face, they are very absorbent and a very good quality for the cheap price. When I am removing a cleanser I use these pads and they remove the liquid perfectly with no problems at all.
These are usually priced at around 45p and I think they are good value for money, in the pack there are 80 pads, I think this amount is amazingly good. I usually only have to use up to 2 of these pads to cleanse my face because they are quite thick and I find the cotton wool does stay on the pad as I have often found with some other brands that the fibres come off the pad when they are dry before using them but with these that is not the case, the fibres lay flat onto the pads.
These are a little smaller than some of the branded ones but I really like the size of them and I just think they are adequate enough to be used for the purpose they are used for and I have had no problems with them being just that little bit smaller.
I have used these pads in the past for cleaning believe it or not, I have soaked some of them in a little bleach and folded them around the cord that is attached to my light cord in my bathroom and the cords on my blinds to clean them. I have left them soaking for up to around 20 minutes and the bleach soaked onto the pad has whitened the cord to make it clean and then I have just then wiped the cord with hot soapy water. I first saw this tip on a programme called How Clean Is You House, and I tried the tip they gave on the programme to clean with cotton wool pads and used these pads because they were so cheap and so I was not wasting money using them for cleaning and they worked very well.
They are easy to store because of the packet is slim and I have often taken these on holiday or overnight stay in my bag and they take very little room and I have not always taken a full packet and the draw string is very useful to keep the pads in place while travelling too.
I find them very gentle on my face and they do not scratch my skin and give me the results that I expect from a cotton wool pad.
I much prefer a pad than a cotton wool ball as I find them easier to glide across the skin and I do not drop them when using them as I often do with the balls and these are a good thickness to get a good grip and are very comfortable to use in my opinion.
I do highly recommend these for anyone to try as I think they are very affordable and very good quality pads and worth the price and I will continue to buy them as I think they are amazingly fabulous little pads.
I give them 5 stars.
Thank you for reading my review.
Yet again I am writing another Sainsbury's review about their basic's range of products. I've tried food and drinks and now I'm starting to switch and save money on my household, cleaning and beauty products.
I'm going to start with Sainsbury's basic's cotton wool pads. Priced at only 54pence for a pack of 100 i thought this was a bargain. And to be honest i wasn't expecting them to be very good at all.
The cotton wool buds come in a tube shaped plastic bag which have string ties at the top, so once you have opened the packet you can easily pull the strings away from each other to close the pack. This stops any fluids, dust or dirt getting into the packet and damaging the contents inside.
The cotton wool pads them self are soft to the touch and aren't bitty. I use mine to remove my make -up at the end of every day. I use a very small amount of my make-up remover on the pad and it gently and smoothly gilds across my skin and doesn't leave any pieces of the cotton wool pad attached to my skin.
On a few occasions the pads have stuck together and have split a few in half but this has only happened once or twice. In my eyes this doesn't really matter as the product was so cheap to start with, it's not like I'm throwing my money away.
Overall this is a great start to my switching and saving with Sainsbury's in the health and beauty department.
Yet again another success for the Sainsbury's basic's range. I would recommend changing to this cheaper version and pocketing the extra pennies you save.
Cotton wool and cotton wool pads is something I really do get through in one way or another, whether it be that I'm using them for the removal of my make-up or simply for the removal of nail polish which is why when I saw this cotton wool stack of 100 pads priced at 54p I decided to give them a go!
The Packaging:
Long see-through and white plastic tube effect packaging with the pads lined up inside it in single file. On the front in orange writing I'm told they are Sainsbury's 'Basics'100 Cotton Wool Pads 'Padded nothing added' and then there are some circles scribbled on there for decoration. Other information on the back of the packet includes being told a bit about the product, safety advice is listed and contact details for Sainsbury's are given.
A Bit About The Product According To The Packaging:
Sainsbury's basics 100% pure cotton wool pads are soft, gentle and absorbent.
These pads are low fleecing and are idea for contact lense wearers.
Ideal for all your beauty and family needs.
The Pads:
Round and white, the pads possess a smooth and tough outer layer and you can see the cotton wool fleecing to the middle of them as it isn't a sealed pad like many more expensive brands are.
They are not very thick and certainly not very robust and will if you make them too wet/moist or rub them over your skin too hard scrunch up and the middle section will comes out of the pad if your not really careful.
However for small jobs these are perfectly fine. Very smooth in texture so they don't hurt your skin as you use them and they are not bad at all but certainly not the best quality of this type of product I have ever used to be honest with you and the price reflects that with these.
Economical? Not really cos say I'm using them remove toe nail polish as an example. I probably use more pads than that of higher priced pads. They are not mega absorbant and like I said earlier on in this review are quick to fall apart on you if your not rather careful with them.
Not the most awful cotton wool pads I've ever used and these show you get what you pay for in life most of the time! I wouldn't avoid using these again in the future but if I have a few more pennies on me when I'm about to buy this type of product I shall certainly be happy to pay more than these cost for a better cotton wool pad!
Only available in Sainsbury's stores.
I know you've all been waiting with bated breath for the follow up review to my Asda cotton wool pads article. I promised you an equally thrilling look at the Sainsbury's version, and here it is!
Sainsbury's Basics Cotton Wool Pads are available from Sainsbury's and cost 54 pence. This is the same price as the Asda version. For your money you get approximately 100 cotton wool circles which can be used for any purpose, including removing make-up, applying face cream, or even cleaning spectacles!
The pads come in a clear plastic bag with a drawstring at the top. The bag has the familiar 'Basics' colours of white and orange on it, but it doesn't look too cheap or tacky.
The pads themselves are white and do not have a pattern on. They are totally flat without any embossed flowers etc that you tend to get with pricier brands, but I am personally not too bothered about the appearance of cotton wool pads!
The pads are quite soft and I have never had a problem with them irritating me. They work fine for all purposes and are pretty similar to the Asda pads, so much so that I would have trouble telling the difference. Like the Asda pads, they are also not great at remaining moist for long periods of time and tend to go dry after a while. This will only be a problem for you if you use them to store sore eye relievers like Optrex for hours like I do.
To conclude, these pads are fit for their intended purpose and there is nothing to complain about. Packaging is simple but functional and the contents are soft, simple to use and do their job.
On last thing: I got a comment on my last cotton wool pad review asking if they were any good for making children's pictures with! I would say no, you would be better off with cotton wool balls, as those are much easier to break apart or mould into shapes!

Rewriting the Last Dinosaur's Tombstone
by Brian Thomas, M.S. *
"The last of the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago,"1 according to an unsupported claim by evolutionary researchers that has been popularized in books and movies such as Jurassic Park. This conclusion is so ubiquitous that most people don't even question whether or not it's true. But researcher James Fassett has discovered considerable evidence that may finally convince ardent believers to re-evaluate this assumption.
Fassett found hadrosaur fossils in the Ojo Alamo Sandstone of the western United States, and they appear to have come from dinosaurs that were alive during the era when the sandstone was deposited.2 The "problem" is that this sedimentary layer and the fossils it contains have independently been shown to be Paleocene rocks that supposedly range from 65 to 55 million years in age, just younger than the Cretaceous layers that are usually considered to be the resting place for earth's last dinosaurs.
In his studies, Fassett took great pains to rule out all possibilities other than that his dinosaurs were alive after the time when current scholarship claims "the last…died out." For example, he tested the concentrations of rare earth metals surrounding the rock, the fossils, and the lower Cretaceous deposits. The same combination of metals exists in the hadrosaur bones and in the Paleocene layers in which they were found, but Cretaceous rocks in the area had clear differences. This helped answer the objection that these hadrosaurs were originally deposited in Cretaceous rocks, then "reworked" into Paleocene sediments eons later. In addition, 43 skeletal elements were found together from one individual. If reworking was involved, then the fragments would have been scattered.
According to the creation model, the majority of fossils resulted from creatures killed during the global Flood described in Genesis. Many dinosaur remains are found in giant fossil assemblages where dinosaur-rich ecological zones of the pre-Flood era were inundated, and the debris sorted, transported, and deposited in a giant, broad depression.3 Creation science models, which take into consideration possible effects of the worldwide catastrophe recorded in Scripture, predict that some dinosaur remains would be found in non-Cretaceous rocks.
With Fassett's research on Paleocene dinosaurs, honest evolutionists will have to change their mantra to "Most dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago." However, if they consider all of the relevant data, they would need to change it even further to "Most dinosaurs died out only a few thousand years ago." But then they would be in agreement with the Bible.

This is a view overlooking the Inca site of Moray, near Maras, Peru. The site comprises three groups of concetric terraces making sort of upside-down cones in the ground. The oft-repeated theory about these things is that they were "laboratories" used by the Inca to test the growing conditions at different depths and the subtly different micro-climates at each level. I don't think I buy that explanation. . .

OCEAN CITY — State Natural Resources officials this week reported a strong showing and positive response at the halfway mark of the summer flounder survey, a new initiative aimed at getting a better handle on the number of flounder caught in and around Ocean City.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and the private sector Maryland Saltwater Sportfishermen's Association (MSSA) have partnered this year on a summer flounder survey in and around the coastal bays and have reported positive results thus far. Beginning in July, MSSA volunteers began working "Flounder Alley," a popular fishing area in the Isle of Wight and Sinepuxent bays behind Ocean City to explain the program and distribute survey cards.
"We have a 43-percent mail-in return rate and all of the responses have been accurate, legible and 100-percent useful," said Dr. Linda Barker, DNR's lead statistician on the project. "This great feedback could help fisheries managers better interpret the data used in determining the overall catch of these fish."
At the midway point, more than 300 cards have been handed out. About 80 percent of the responses have come from anglers who access "Flounder Alley" from private launching locations such as community marinas and private docks.
Sunfest Earns National Honor
OCEAN CITY — The annual Sunfest celebration was once again rated the No. 1 traditional art and craft show in the nation this week by a popular trade magazine.
America's Premiere Show and Festival Magazine this week announced Sunfest, held in Ocean City each year on the third weekend of September, is the publication's top arts and craft show in the country for the second year in a row. One of Ocean City's most popular and longest-running festivals, Sunfest celebrates the start of the fall season in the resort.
The magazine's annual rankings are based on audit reports, reader surveys and anecdotal reports from participating vendors. Sunfest's sister festival, Springfest, a season kick-off event held each May, moved up to number 10 on the magazine's annual "200 Best" list.
"We are very pleased to have both Sunfest and Springfest continue to receive this national recognition," said Ocean City Recreation and Parks Department Director Tom Shuster. "This is a tremendous honor for the town."
Record Numbers In Cover Crop Program
BERLIN — State officials this week announced a record number of farmers across the Eastern Shore and throughout Maryland are now participating in the state's cover crop program.
Gov. Martin O'Malley, Department of Agriculture Secretary Buddy Hance, agricultural leaders, local farmers and elected officials gathered on an Eastern Shore farm this week to announce a record number of Maryland farmers are now participating in the environmentally friendly cover crop program. Cover crops are planted in the fall after the autumn harvest to help farmers control soil erosion and reduce the amount of nutrients washing into the bay over the winter.
Once established, cover crops recycle unused plant nutrients remaining in the soil from the previous summer crop, protect fields from wind and soil erosion and help improve the soil for next year's crop. Maryland Cover Crop Program provides farmers with grants to plant cover crops on their fields immediately following the summer harvest.
"Not only is Maryland's cover crop program a very attractive and flexible program, it has the potential to do more for the bay than ever before," said Hance. "Maryland farmers are on track to exceed the Phase I watershed implementation plan milestone with a record number of approved acres."
O'Malley announced Maryland has approved a record number 550,000 acres of winter grains to date in the cover crop program, which were requested by a record 1,767 farmers across the Eastern Shore including Worcester and Wicomico. The record number of acres represents 155 percent of the plan goals for cover crops in the state.
Eagle Scout Completes Assateague Project
ASSATEAGUE — Salisbury resident and Eagle Scout candidate Brennen Dover recently completed improvements to the hiking and biking trail on Assateague Island, a public service project needed to complete his bid for the prestigious honor.
Dover's Eagle Scout project included improving the trail as a venue for physical fitness by marking distances along the route. Dover's project included adding distance markers to the trail and repainting the safety and directional messages.
"We're very pleased with the outcome of Brennen's project and hope the trail will receive even more use now that cyclists and walkers can track the distance traveled," said Superintendent Trish Kicklighter.
The trail begins at the new Visitor Center at the base of the Verrazano Bridge and ends at the Life of the Dunes Nature Trail parking lot, a distance of 4.5 miles.

Hey, it's nearly summer--get out of your cube, get some fresh air and go think up a funny caption for the June EE Life contest.
There you go, working too hard again. It's time you take a break, go for a nice walk outdoors and ponder a profoundly funny caption you can submit for the EE Life June contest.
While you're out there, keep a watch for any other engineers. Hey, what's that dude with a notebook doing!?

"Prayer does not use up artificial energy, doesn't burn up any fossil fuel, doesn't pollute. Neither does song, neither does love, neither does the dance."
"We must move away from our dependency on fossil fuels, and I am glad that GM has invested over $1 billion in hydrogen fuel cells cars to meet this goal."
"The older author is constantly rediscovering himself in the more or less fossilized productions of his earlier years."
"POPULIST, n. A fossil patriot of the early agricultural period, found in the old red soapstone underlying Kansas; characterized by an uncommon spread of ear, which some naturalists contend gave him the power of flight, though Professors Morse and Whitney, pursuing independent lines of thought, have ingeniously pointed out that had he possessed it he would have gone elsewhere. In the picturesque speech of his period, some fragments of which have come down to us, he was known as "The Matter with Kansas.""
"There are enough fossils showing distinctive features to rule out the possibility these are unusual or aberrant modern humans,"
"Today's vote promises to ultimately eclipse dirty and expensive fossil fuel with clean and efficient solar power."
"Today there is a huge dependence on fossil fuel-based solutions. The sooner other solutions become cheap enough and… lead to massive widespread adoption, the better it will be for the environment."
"I feel that when we look at what's going on in the world and fossil fuels and all the problems with that - I feel we have to try to move away from that and our best option is wind energy."

|Due to some absent-mindedness on my part (going back to the car a mile into the hike to make sure the headlights were turned off & going backwards a shorter distance later on to retrieve my camera which I left on a rock after a photo op) I made an already long hike (5,500 ft. elevation gain) into an even longer one (6,500 ft. elevation gain). The views of the peak from Halfmoon Pass were absolutely spectacular though, and the waterfalls in the area make this one of the prettiest mountain locations I've ever been to. The bouldering from the north ridge to the summit was easy, but we got a little off-course on the way back down. Since it was clear, we could see and recognize over a dozen other 14ers to the west, south, and east from the summit. After almost no sleep the night before, a 3-hour drive there, a long hike, and a 3-hour drive back to Boulder, I was pooped.

|I'll never forget this, since it was days after 9/11. We were scheduled to go to Chad's cousin's wedding in Michigan, in which he was supposed to be the best man, but air travel was still pretty much out of the question. We camped at Halfmoon campground with a lot of loud drunk people, so we were tired at 4am wake-up, which may be why CHad had a rough day. This was a SPECTACULAR hike even though we had waves of storms coming in all day - rain, sleet, hail, snow. (Good thing we had our gore-tex.) It was cool to watch them travel over in sheets across from the Elk range. Had a bit of a scare near the summit with surprise thunder/lightning-snow storm...The hump up and down Halfmoon pass is a bit of a discouragement, but well worth the effort!

We began our fifteen mile, three day journey, in August of 2004.We were traveling through a land, most only see in postcards.Every step was a mix of pleasure and pain. It is hard to describe how it feels to summit. God truly does reserve some things for those willing to endure the hardship of the journey. Larry approached the summit log and signed for the both of us, as I was fighting the nausea that comes with altitude sickness. He had secretly written in the comments section that a proposal was about to take place. Digging around in his backpack, he pulled out a film canister that must have had an entire roll of duct tape on it. Knowing that his insurance coverage was probably lost in the mail and that he would surely drop the ring down some never ending crack, he moved slowly back to where I was perched. In between my hacking, he dropped to one knee. The ring was placed on my finger as I said "yes."The romantic scene was not playing out as he had imagined it in the weeks prior. However, I thought it was just perfect!

2 Boxes 2007 Donruss Threads
Broke 2 boxes from Blowout Cards on Friday night and thought I would share what I got. I didn't organize it by box and my scanner messed up as I started scanning so I really only got the bigger hits (which are all that matter anyways I suppose) but I'll list the lesser ones as well.
Sidney Rice - Rookie Collection Materials #'d/500 (Purple & White Jersey)
Randy Moss - Game Used #'d/250 (White Jersey)
Chester Taylor - Game Used #'d/250 (White Jersey)
Frank Gore - Game Used #'d/250 (Red Jersey)
Robert Meachem - College Gridiron Kings
Maurice Jones Drew - College Gridirion Kings
T.J. Houshmandzadeh - Pro Gridiron Kings #'d/250
Jimmy Orr - Pro Gridiron Kings
Brandon Marshall - Pro Gridiron Kings
Michael Turner - Pro Gridiron Kings
Vernon Davis - Pro Gridiron Kings
Leon Washington - Pro Gridiron Kings #'d/250
Joe Montana/Peyton Manning - Generations
Eric Dickerson/Joeseph Addai - Generations
Kellen Winslow/Jeremy Shockey - Generations
Peyton Manning - Century Stars
Shaun Alexander - Century Stars
Donvan McNabb - Century Stars
Frank Tarkenton - Century Legends (2)
Gale Sayers - Century Legends
Peyton Manning/Marvin Harrison/Reggie Wayne - Dynasty
Carson Palmer/Chad Johnson/T.J. Houshmandzadeh - Dynasty
Here are a couple of the bigger hits in the box:
Rookie Signature Redemption 196 (Didn't scan either)
But there was one reason I bought these boxes. I know it's not the best player in the world but hey, it's a rookie and I love the card.
Comments are welcome! I had a lot of fun with this product and did get some very decent cards. I'm not one who buys boxes just to sell and try to make profit. I am a collector who only sells what I don't want. I got some of the neatest cards I have pulled and it was well worth the money for the boxes. Definitely recomend this product.

text: Perhaps if the channels that "people are asking for" would accept a reasonable offer for carriage they would be on more systems. Then the providers would not have to choose between 10 channels and 1 when spending their programming dollars. Programmers that offer extremely low prices or offer programming with more than a niche following are more likely to see their programming added. The channels are older established channels added at a time when other options didn't exist. As established channels they have a good bargaining position when it comes to package placement. Those channels could easily say "if our core channels are not in your English package you can't carry us at all" and not having those channels in the Spanish packages would gut the packages. They are also popular channels ... perhaps not in your home, but they do get viewership and having them available makes DISH's packages better. The only reason why BBC World News and FEARnet are "high demand" is because they are not carried. The popularity of the channel has to go beyond a few people "demanding" the channel on the Internet. When there are more people actually watching the channels you're targeting for removal than asking for the new channels the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
