A new book that says that Apple's best days are over has been called "nonsense" by the company's chief executive.
Apple chief Tim Cook also says that author Yukari Kane's book Haunted Empire, which chronicles the company after the death of its founder Steve Jobs, failed to "capture Apple, Steve or anyone else in the company," according to CNNMoney. Kane is a former Wall Street Journal reporter who covered technology.
From the article:
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Kane writes in her book that a decline at Apple (AAPL, Fortune 500) was "inevitable" after Jobs ceded the reins of the company to Cook in 2011, shortly before his death from cancer. She paints Cook as a harsh leader, and says the company's "well of ingenuity" has "run dry."
That's hogwash, according to Cook. "I am very confident about our future," Cook told CNBC in a statement. "We've always had many doubters in our history. They only make us stronger."

Sick of pizza after the Super Bowl? Pizza Hut is hoping to tempt you with tiny new pies.
The chain is introducing "pizza sliders" Monday, which are smaller than its personal pies and can be ordered in batches for families that want to customize their orders with different toppings. They will be available in either a $10 box of nine or a $5 box of three.
A slider is 3.5 inches across, while a personal pie is 6 inches.
The roll out right after the Super Bowl is intended to generate excitement during a time when people may have had enough pizza. After the 2012 game, the chain launched its $10 Dinner Box, which helped grow sales over the past year. Now Pizza Hut is looking for another big spark.

It's too late for this year's Oscars, but if they ever create a category for best online video of a car club touting itself, the Mustang Club of Poland gets our nomination.
It's a little light on dialogue, but you can smell the burning rubber. As Mustang Evolution notes, the video is designed to promote a 700-km race through Poland over four days in June and July, with 30 teams competing for prizes. If the video's any indication of the race's hoon potential, it ought to be a sight.

NaCl house was designed by Architect David Jameson and is located in Bethesda, Maryland, USA. The massive contemporary residence displays a homogeneous white color palette, contrasting the natural surroundings. Here is a description from the architects: "Breaking the prescriptive mold of horizontally layered homes, NaCl House aspires to render unclear the spatial organization of the project and explore an architecture of ambiguous scale.
The resultant massing reveals an imperfect, rough form recalling the natural isometric formation of mineral rock salt. The exterior composition is read as a single object that reflects a dynamic fluid interior. Uncorrelated to the buildings structure, glazing panels are detailed flush to the exterior surface, eliminating shadows which further inhibit a reading of the buildings scale". How would you comment on the overall layout of this residence, inspired by …salt? Read more [ via : freshome ]

Great article, the major problem is that many web designers/developers even now learn their trade from 'very old' books and articles, (and out of date video tutorials) which all show basically the same design, (and end up looking the same) .
Even worse are the graphic designers that produce a site with PhotoShop, (or some other graphic program) and then 'proclaim' that they do web design/development.
Unfortunately as I have also experienced many forums aimed at web designers/developers reinforce this view, just the mention of 'progressive enhancements' or "none standard layout' will often send the members into a state of frenzied posts proclaiming – "css rule xxx or yyy will not work in browser xx, and should not be used until zzz condition is met".

As oil from a collapsed drilling rig continued to pour into the Gulf of Mexico and the coast braced for environmental devastation, the political impact of the accident began to draw speculation. President Obama, speaking Sunday from Venice, La, where relief efforts are being coordinated, called the spill a "potentially unprecedented environmental disaster." If he's right, what might itmean for the future of offshore drilling and climate change legislation?
- Paul Krugman in the New York Times wonders if this will prove to be a wake-up call for the president to take charge of the climate change debate. "Will America take heed? It depends a lot on leadership. In particular, President Obama needs to seize the moment; he needs to take on the "Drill, baby, drill" crowd, telling America that courting irreversible environmental disaster for the sake of a few barrels of oil, an amount that will hardly affect our dependence on imports, is a terrible bargain."
- Sarah Palin writing on her Facebook page argues that, despite the possible risks involved, domestic oil drilling should continue apace. "I repeat the slogan "drill here, drill now" not out of naiveté or disregard for the tragic consequences of oil spills – my family and my state and I know firsthand those consequences. How could I still believe in drilling America's domestic supply of energy after having seen the devastation of the Exxon-Valdez spill? I continue to believe in it because increased domestic oil production will make us a more secure, prosperous, and peaceful nation."
- Keith Harrington of environmental blog Grist thinks the timing of the oil spill may help produce a stronger climate change bill. "While it may be difficult and distasteful to see anything positive in a tragedy like this, the truth is this inevitable disaster couldn't have happened at a more politically critical time -- just as lawmakers were moving to codify the condemnation of our coastlines. In the same way that the Big Branch mining disaster caused elected officials to take a hard look at mining safety, one can only hope that the Deepwater Horizon spill will serve as the powerful wake-up call the president and Congress need to reverse the foolhardy course they have chosen regarding offshore drilling."
- William Dietrich at the Huffington Post says that, just like the Exxon Valdez spill in 1989, things will go back to the way they were, until the next crisis. "But the threat will remain, vigilance will relax, and risks will run higher as the world gets more desperate for oil and drills in ever-more-inaccessible places...until we make real strides in weaning from fossil fuels -- which, incidentally, would help save the climate, save the oceans, and get us less entangled in endless wars -- it's almost certain I can recycle this blog post again in 10 or 20 years."
- Bill Kristol, sitting on a Fox News panel, argued that drilling, by and large, is a safe activity. "The oil spill, itself, I don't think will be a huge disaster over the medium and long term, honestly." He added that drilling is, "very environmentally clean, except when there is a disaster like the spill."

The Dream Traverse Video Contest has come to an end – and we have a winner! You have voted the Kingdom Traverse the winner, and now Suunto will help Grobler Basson and his crew to make their dream come true.
Grobler Basson from Cape Town, South Africa, has the dream of traversing The Kingdom of Lesotho, a land locked mountain kingdom located inside South Africa, from one side to the other.
We got in touch with Grobler to congratulate him and to find out more about their plans.
Congratulations, Grobler! How does it feel to make your dream come true?
As travel is the only thing you can buy that makes you richer, to have a massive dream like this come true really is amazing and is still a bit surreal at this stage. This is an amazing opportunity that will touch not only my life, but also a group of special people close to me. What a privilege!
Have you had a chance to plan the trip more in detail yet?
Most of the detail planning is complete. If all goes to plan we will have all the logistics, gear, travel and accommodation details sorted within the next couple of weeks. As we will be swimming, kayaking, mountain biking and trail running the traverse should take us approximately eight days depending on a couple of variables.
What are some of the things you are most excited about?
I am most excited about those moments where things don't go to plan, but afterwards you realize you would not have had it any other way! Those unexpected moments that leave you in awe... When you are pushed beyond yourself, physically and mentally and your fellow adventurers keep you going with some sort of humor!
Is there something especially that makes you feel uncertain?
There is a lot of stuff that makes me uncertain: the extreme mountain weather, unknown mountain passes and trails and navigation errors. I suppose these are also the things that excite us to do this adventure!
The Kingdom Traverse crew celebrates their Dream Traverse Video Contest victory
Who will be travelling with you?
All in all we will be 17 in total! Even though only 10 of us will do every leg of the traverse, it would be unfair not to mention the people behind the scenes. The whole Kingdom Traverse team is as follow; Quintin van Heerden, Raoul Hamman, Grobler Basson, Vian Espost, Gustav Robberts, Neelke Stadler, Hanmarie Stadler, Ryan Clark, Gideo Basson, Andre Joubert, Karmien Joubert, Erika Basson, Inge Basson, Charl Swart, Chris de Bruyn, Janine de Bruyn and Josh Rowe.

Look inside Download PDF (free)
It is widely accepted that knowledge management is a critical success factor for enterprises. Not yet known sufficiently are the factors, which influence the success of knowledge management in order to measure the effectiveness of knowledge management. This paper sets out a quantitative study to investigate these factors. Firstly, an overview of empirical work undertaken and the potential success factors is given. After this, the methodology of the study is described. Thereby the basics of structure equation modelling (SEM) are shown. The difference between structure and measurement model is depicted and different validity measures are described. Also two common and possible methods to evaluate a SEM, the co‑variance analysis and the variance analysis are displayed. Thirdly a specific model is presented to use SEM in the context of knowledge management success. The model is based on the theory of planned behaviour and is adapted to the context of knowledge management success. Thereby knowledge management success is seen on an individual level, which means that successful knowledge management leads to a satisfying knowledge supply of the organisation member. Finally limitations of the work are discussed.
Keywords: KM success, critical success factors, structural equation model, PLS, LISREL

Dr. Debra Swanson, professor of sociology at Hope College, has been named recipient of the 2008 "John F. Schnabel Distinguished Contributions to Teaching Award" by the North Central Sociological Association (NCSA).
She will receive the award on Saturday, March 29, during the NCSA's annual conference, which is being held in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Thursday-Saturday, March 27-29.
The principal criterion for the award, according to the association, is "excellence in some activity enhancing the teaching of Sociology for the NCSA or within the North Central region." Those considered must have been nominated by another member of the organization with additional support from at least two other members.
Swanson has been a member of NCSA for 15 years and has been active in the organization's teaching section. She has made several presentations on teaching during association meetings through the years, and will be the featured keynote speaker during the NCSA's 2009 annual conference in Dearborn.
Swanson joined the Hope faculty in 1989 as a visiting instructor of sociology. Following a one-semester leave she returned as an assistant professor of sociology in the fall of 1994. She was promoted to associate professor in 1996 and full professor in 2006.
She has taught courses including "Introduction to Sociology and Social Problems," "Sociology of Gender," "Race and Ethnic Relations," "Social Movements," "Research Methods," "Data Analysis," "Social Stratification," and "Criminology I" and "Criminology II," in addition to courses in the First-Year and Senior Seminar programs. Among her other service, she is a member of the college's Teaching Enhancement Workshop Committee, which she currently serves as director.
Swanson's scholarship includes articles in numerous professional journals as well as a variety of presented papers and addresses.
She has been conducting research on motherhood with Dr. Deirdre Johnston of the college's communication faculty. Their most recent publications include a research study on work-family balance and a book chapter in "Family Communication," published by Allyn Bacon. In 2003 one of their articles was a finalist for the 2003 Rosabeth Moss Kanter Award for Excellence in Work-Family Research.
Swanson graduated from Hope in 1983 with a major in sociology. She completed her master's and doctorate, both in sociology, at Catholic University of America in 1988 and 1995 respectively.
The NCSA seeks to further the development of sociology as a scientific and scholarly discipline. The territory represented by the NCSA includes eastern Illinois; Indiana; Kentucky; Michigan; Ohio; western Pennsylvania; West Virginia; and Ontario, Canada.

Two held for trying to abduct woman legislator
[Dawn] Two persons were
tossed in the clink
Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try!
for their alleged involvement in an attempt to kidnap a woman
from the Red Zone of Islamabad, police said on Thursday.
Qaiser Abbas, the station house officer (SHO) of Secretariat, told Dawn that one of the accused was the owner of an Azad
-based newspaper and son of a former law secretary of Pakistain. He said efforts were underway to arrest an accomplice of the two men.
The incident took place on December 29 but the police
started the paperwork but haven't done much else
after four days because the accused had earlier introduced themselves as
s of the ISI, he said. The case was registered after the police verification showed that the accused were impersonators.
The accused were produced before the court of law which sent them to Adiala Jail on a 14-day judicial remand.
The police said the MNA, elected on a reserved seat for women from Punjab, was coming to the parliament house from Bhara Kahu when his driver ran into a tussle with three people riding a double cabin over honking and overtaking near Serena Hotel.
The occupants of the double cabin tried to intercept the
's vehicle but its driver sped away. Her car was chased and again intercepted in front of the Foreign Office where the three men disembarked from their vehicle and tried to pull the MNA and her driver out.
They sought identification of the MNA, but when she asked them to first identify themselves, the three men said they were senior officers of the ISI, the police said. After this, the MNA's driver sped away the car which was again intercepted near a police picket in front of Radio Pakistain.
As they engaged in an argument there, police officials deployed at the picket approached both the vehicles. When the MNA sought help from the
, the riders of the double cabin again introduced themselves as ISI officers and asked the police officials to stay away. As the
moved back to their picket, the double cabin also left the scene.
, however, passed on the registration number of the vehicle to the Secretariat
cop shoppe
which after verification declared its riders as civilians. Later, the police
started the paperwork but haven't done much else
against the accused in response to the complaint lodged by the MNA on the day of the incident.

I decided to do a practice install to see how easily the tire chains are to install. I decided that I needed to add a pair of gloves to the package as well as a forked stick about two feet long to help push the cables to the back side of the tire fore and aft to simplify the installation. Finally obtained a set of chains that are most simple to install. Of course I have not installed them in the snow yet, but think it will be a comparative snap now.


text: The San Francisco area got a pounding this morning from a strong Pacific storm system that developed wind gusts as high as 107 mph. The Golden Gate Transit district was forced to suspend bus services and truck traffic across the historic span due to flooding. Fortunately for Friday commuters, as of 1:35 PST the restrictions have been lifted, but we'd wager the damage has been done and traffic jams will be monumental. The hurricane force winds forced the closing of the Richmond-San Rafael bridge because a tractor trailer was flipped on its side. We never thought we'd be happy to put up with Detroit temps in 20's but it sounds like the end of the world over on that side of the country lately. [SFGate.com] [Goldengatebridge.org]

I keep on running cause I can't turn back. I've got no choice my body's keeping track of the miles I've gone and the miles left to go. If I stop now everyone will surely know. Keep on Running. . . . That's it! Hey, e-mail me with any comments, changes, suggestions, questions or requests. I hope you like the tab. Luke

Linde Engineering has over 60 years of experience in building thermal fluid systems. We are committed to continually enhancing our processes and use a wide range of media as thermal fluids including mineral oils, synthetic products, molten salt, water-glycol mixtures, gases, and molten metals.
Liquid media
Mineral oils and synthetic oils are the most commonly used organic media for process heat transfer. The maximum working temperature of synthetic thermal fluids is about 410°C. Systems that use these thermal fluids offer an ideal basis for supplying heat to a wide variety of production processes.
Vaporised media
The use of vaporised thermal fluids (via a flash system or a secondary vaporiser) makes it possible to distribute a steady and constant supply of heat uniformly to several process steps. We deliver plants for a broad spectrum of requirements with capacities ranging from 100 kW to around 45 MW per heater. We can achieve even larger capacities and increase plant availability by combining several units in one battery.
As a dedicated, responsible, turnkey supplier, we deliver technologies offering a number of benefits:
No radiant heat reflection as little refractory lining
Optimum heat distribution thanks to three-pass design

Dick Marquardt Sr., who served as the state's insurance commissioner from 1977 to 1993, died Aug. 9th in Seattle.
Idaho-born Marquardt was the 6th of the eight people who've served as insurance commissioner since 1909. He was a University of Washington graduate, served in the Army during World War II, and worked as a longtime fuel-oil company executive.
He was appointed by then-Gov. Dan Evans to head the state's selective service system, and he also served a term as state senator representing District 45 in King County.
He served four terms as insurance commissioner, and continued to work as a consultant well into his 80s. He was an avid golfer, and loved baseball.
There's a long and touching obituary in the Seattle Times. From it:
Dick was the beloved patriarch of his large family. He was a devoted and proud husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, and great-great grandfather.A private service is planned at a later date.
Also from the obituary:
He leaves behind a legacy of integrity, hard work, humor, unconditional love, and pure enjoyment of the good things in life. He will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know him. Dad, you were unforgettable.

Release Details
WASHINGTON, DC - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is releasing today the names of the drywall manufacturers whose drywall emitted high levels of hydrogen sulfide in testing conducted for the agency by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). There is a strong association between hydrogen sulfide and metal corrosion.
Of the samples tested, the top ten reactive sulfur-emitting drywall samples were all produced in China. Some of the Chinese drywall had emission rates of hydrogen sulfide 100 times greater than non-Chinese drywall samples.
"Homeowners who have problem drywall in their homes are suffering greatly", said CPSC Chairman Inez Tenenbaum. "I appeal to these Chinese drywall companies to carefully examine their responsibilities to U.S. families who have been harmed and do what is fair and just".
At the U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue meetings in Beijing May 24-25, U.S. officials pressed the Chinese government to facilitate a meeting between CPSC and the Chinese drywall companies whose products were used in U.S. homes, and which exhibit the emissions identified during the testing procedures. The Strategic and Economic Dialogue represents the highest-level bilateral forum to discuss a broad range of issues between the two nations.
The following list identifies the top 10 drywall samples tested that had the highest emissions of hydrogen sulfide, along with the identity of the manufacturer of the drywall and the year of manufacture, from highest to lowest.
- Knauf Plasterboard (Tianjin) Co. Ltd.: (year of manufacture 2005) China
- Taian Taishan Plasterboard Co. Ltd.: (2006) China
- Shandong Taihe Dongxin Co.: (2005) China
- Knauf Plasterboard (Tianjin) Co. Ltd.: (2006) China
- Taian Taishan Plasterboard Co. Ltd.: (2006) China
- Taian Taishan Plasterboard Co. Ltd.: (2006) China
- Shandong Chenxiang GBM Co. Ltd. (C&K Gypsum Board): (2006) China
- Beijing New Building Materials (BNBM): (2009) China
- Taian Taishan Plasterboard Co. Ltd.: (2009) China
- Shandong Taihe Dongxin Co.: (2009) China
Other Chinese drywall samples had low or no detectable emissions of hydrogen sulfide as did the drywall samples tested that were manufactured domestically. They include: Knauf Plasterboard Tianjin: (2009) China; Tiger ***ShiGao JianCai***liangpianzhuang: (2006) China; USG Corporation: (2009) U.S.; Guangdong Knauf New Building Material Products Co. Ltd.: (2009) China; 3/8" drywall manufacturer uncertain (date uncertain): China; Knauf Plasterboard (Wuhu) Co. Ltd.: (2009) China; CertainTeed Corp.: (2009) U.S.; Georgia Pacific Corp.: (2009) U.S.; Dragon Brand, Beijing New Building Materials Co. Ltd.: (2006) China; CertainTeed Corp.: (2009) U.S.; Pingyi Baier Building Materials Co. Ltd.: (2009) China; Sample purchased in China, manufacturer unknown: (2009) China; Panel Rey S.A.: (2009) Mexico; Lafarge North America: (2009) U.S.; National Gypsum Company: (2009) U.S.; National Gypsum Company: (2009) U.S.; Georgia Pacific Corp.: (2009) U.S.; Pabco Gypsum: (2009) U.S.; Temple-Inland Inc.: (2009) U.S.; and USG Corporation: (2009) U.S.
Last month, CPSC released the results of drywall emissions tests by LBNL. The studies showed a connection between certain Chinese drywall and corrosion in homes. In addition, the patterns of reactive sulfur compounds emitted from drywall samples show a clear distinction between certain Chinese drywall samples manufactured in 2005/2006 and other Chinese and non-Chinese drywall samples.
To date, CPSC has spent over $5 million to investigate the chemical nature and the chain of commerce of problem drywall. Earlier this year, CPSC and HUD issued an identification protocol to help consumers identify problem drywall in their homes. Last month, CPSC and HUD issued remediation guidance to assist impacted homeowners.
See the chart (pdf) listing drywall chamber test results.

Electrical regulations require a UPS to be able to deliver a sufficient current to clear Fuses or MCB's in the event of a short circuit on the output.
When the system is online this is not an issue as system switches to bypass until fault is cleared, but in battery operation there is a current limiter which limits the current to 150% and this would not necessarily be sufficient for the to trip the required protection in the specified time. However we also specify a subcycle 300% current limit for fault clearing for the Silcon.
This means that 300% of the max rated current will be supplied for up to 20 mil.sec. (0.02 Sec) If the MCB or Fuse is selected correctly, this will be sufficient to clear the MCB / Fuse.

My friend, Alexandra of Good Day Regular People, recently wrote about "Colombian-isms" – I loved her hilarious post (check it out!) and she encouraged me to write my own post of "Salvadoran-isms" – So here I am. I have to say though, Salvadoran slang could fill a book thicker than War & Peace. It seems like every other word out of your average Salvadoran's mouth is unique to El Salvador or the Caliche of Central America. That being said, here are a handful of random highlights to amuse you.
Puchica! – This is perhaps the most Salvadoran word of all. Use this exclamation anywhere you would usually use "Wow, Holy cow, Geez!"
Maje – Means "dude" or "dumb" depending on context. "Qué onda, maje?" = What's up, dude? … "No seas maje" = "Don't be dumb."
Cipote/Cipota – This word means "child." Like a lot of Salvadoran slang, this word comes from the native Nahuatl. There is even a beloved Salvadoran folk character named Cipitío – a boy who wears a really big sombrero and has backwards feet as well as a big round belly. He is the result of a forbidden love affair between other folk characters and for some reason he eats ashes and bananas.
Está bien yuca – This means "it's a really difficult situation."
Chucho/Chucho Aguacatero – dog/mutt/stray dog/street dog … Example: "Chhht! Chucho! Vete!" ("Chhht! Dog! Get out!")
Cabal/Cabalito – Means "Exactly." This can be used when you agree with something and you're saying, "Yes, that's it exactly!" or when trying on a pair of shoes that fit perfectly.
Paloma – Although this word usually means "dove" in Spanish, this is also commonly used slang for "penis" in El Salvador… I never found out how that happened, but it must be a fascinating story. (And for this reason, you won't meet many Salvadoran women named Paloma.)
Fíjate -or- Fíjese – This word is kind of like, "Look," or "Look here", "Listen," – I read once on a blog by a Peace Corp. volunteer in El Salvador that nothing good ever follows this word. I found that hilarious and very true. Example: "Fíjate, el dinero que me diste por pagar la renta, tuve que usar por comprar algo para el cumple de mi novia." (Look, the money you gave me to pay the rent, I had to use to buy a birthday gift for my girlfriend.)
Más vale amistad perdida, que una tripa retorcida. – "Better to have a lost friendship than a twisted gut." This is said when one really needs to pass gas and they let it rip. Lovely, right?
Hay pericos en la milpa. – "There are parakeets in the corn field." Use this to alert someone to watch what they say because others might be listening.
Machete estate en tu vaina. – "Machete stay in your sheath." Meaning it's better not to get involved or it's better to mind your business so you don't come into problems.
Vaya pues – "Okay, then. That's fine. It's all good." My suegra is known for saying this on the phone before hanging up. She rarely says a proper goodbye, just "Vaya pues" – CLICK.
… Vaya pues.
What Salvadoran-isms would you add to the list? If your roots are from elsewhere in Latin America, give me your Mexican-isms, Venezuelan-isms, Cuban-isms, or whatever other "-isms" you have from anywhere in the world.

After a long break from ThinkAtheist I am back and would really appreciate some help! So thank you to anyone that responds :)
I got the following comment on my (scientifically basic) post about evolution on my blog (http://messiahmyth.wordpress.com/2012/11/10/guide-to-evolution-for-...) and I simply don't know exactly how to tackle it. The simple fact of the matter is that I'm very much in my infancy of knowledge when it comes to logic and critical thinking, so before I go and make a mess of a rebuttal, I thought I'd come to you guys and ask your opinions!

Hey Deluded Students,
Great article, I have enjoyed your blog. However I am not sure if you are employing the dysteleological argument here as an objection to the existence of a Creator, or an objection to the existence of creationism – the view that man was assembled in its' current state in a short period of time by an intelligent designer. Either way, the dysteleological argument does not work.
Are you, Deluded Students, saying that the universe was created without an explicit purpose? In other words, do you believe that the causality chain of events leading to the Big Bang had a purpose or that it did not. That would address the Creator part. Let me know and I'll answer for you.
The second part, about "creation", is the same thing applied to the creation of human beings. Do you believe that the causality chain of events leading to homo sapiens sapiens had a purpose?
Both applications invoke the notion of willful, or volitious causes. Most atheists, like Dawkins, would be considered dysteleological because they reject purpose in these kinds of causal chains of events.
If you can answer that for me I can come up with an answer for you.
If the conclusion of this argument is indeed that God does not exist or that creationism is not true, then since you are submitting the argument, you also bear the burden of proof in your premises. The defense of the premise that design is poor is not fully defended.
This is backward. The positive claim is that God exists, therefore, the burden falls on the actor positing that existence to show the existence of "God".
The polar bear has thumbs that humans would consider suboptimal for our requirements. However the bear uses its' thumbs to shed bark, and in this case, it would be our thumbs that are suboptimal, and the bears that are optimal! It is inappropriate to call a design suboptimal unless we know the intention of the designer.
This is why I HATE TOE. How do you even respond to this? What is his point? All he is doing is supporting the core ideas behind natural selection. I don't get his point here.
In this absence of this knowledge, this premise is rendered unproven and the dysteleological argument is therefore invalid.
No, it isn't; not by the "argument" presented.
Let me know where you stand and I'll write up something for you. I've got some good material on this.
The minute you see people tossing two cent words like that out like fish bait you know you are dealing with an intellectually insecure chump. Be forewarned.

Totally random: Fishing through the CD pile
The Hook receives a ridiculous amount of unsolicited music press in the form of biographies, pictures, and CDs, from the publicists of smaller bands, many of whom are not even playing venues close to town.
I must admit that few of these seemingly random mailings have contained albums that have garnered little more than the most fleeting listen on my part, but there is, of course, a reason for this. This week, thanks to a dearth of new CDs which are currently on my personal playlist– and more importantly, the fact that the show I was planning to review at Miller's Saturday night was canceled at the last minute– I'm going to fish into our large pile of new music offerings and give the random act I pick my full reviewer attention.
And the winner of this great honor is... the current holder of position #41 on the CMJ music charts, the indie-pop trio, The Pieces.
Currently on tour with ex-Lemonhead singer/songwriter (and an artist I believe turned out to be one of the biggest wastes of potential since Rod Stewart) Evan Dando in the UK, The Pieces don't even have any domestic shows scheduled, so if you want to see the act, the closest you can easily get is to gaze longingly at their picture on the back cover of this self-titled debut.
Sonically, The Pieces have all the elements currently en vogue with the more mainstream of the indie-rock genre big guitars, a mildly whiny singer, and– you guessed it– a female bass player sandwiched between a male drummer and male singer/guitarist.
The latter male, Vess Ruhtenberg, writes almost all of the group's songs, which for the most part turn out to be pleasant forays into the pop genre but likely won't have much of an effect on you after you turn off the stereo.
Guitar driven mid-'90s "alterna-rock" would describe the group's sound to a T, if not for the subtle inclusion of some country rock elements- par for current rock bands since Wilco's recent rise to prominence. The songs here are nice, but by no means overly noteworthy.
Head-bopping, weaving-guitar tracks like "Gentlemen and Big Mistakes" are likely to get airtime, but with the current state of mainstream radio, what's that really saying?
Their debut is clean and well produced, which will not particularly endear them to the indie-rock elite whom I perceive to be their projected market. But possibly they are hoping for some kind of crossover big-time success.
And the lyrics? "I just want to be loved/Not single again/Another new break-up start over again." Definitely not the work of the next Dylan, but maybe the next Donovan?
Let me sum up my feelings about The Pieces this way: If by chance or providence, I was given the option of joining the group as the fourth member, I would beg off the honor. I've got more important things to do with my time.

An ISP provider should also advise a business on how much bandwidth is required based on the number of employees and devices used in the organization.
It's maddening and detrimental for a business when it takes hours to upload and download crucial data. What's more, by selecting a slower speed to cut costs, a company may be working against their best interests. It doesn't help to cut costs and expect fantastic results. For full competency, a business must function proficiently during peak hours when operations can become extremely busy and take into account future growth.
Bandwidth caps and throttling are also important factors when it comes to Docena, AL business internet bandwidth and speed. A business should inquire whether an ISP restricts the download speed depending on the time of day. A company should also inquire about any other aspects that may result in limitation. It's important to consider the details of the internet service your business is signing up for. Many have restrictions included in the fine print.
In addition, a company should be leery of providers that offer diminutive security safeguards. A good business ISP in Docena, AL will offer anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-spyware defense, and anti-spam protections. The Internet provider should provide details of the quantity of protection available, mobile devices that can link to the system, and backup capabilities. Moreover, if the system breaks down, a competent provider should restore whatever was lost on the network via the backup. If the backup is located at the company site, it's probably time to shift to a cloud-based system.

Typically, ISPs offer credits off the bill when the connection is interrupted for more than a specified duration.

Certain areas of the country may offer limited choices when it comes to a business ISP. However, companies should still do an in-depth comparison before making their selection. This way companies can be certain of getting the most for their money. For instance, businesses in Docena, AL deserve an ISP that is prepared for the rapid advances in future technology. A good ISP will be able to adjust their services to keep up with the ever-evolving internet.
Moving forward businesses will need to transition to an IPv6 connection for all their internet services. This means that business ISPs must already be thinking about these issues. IPv6 is set to replace the old IPv4, as it provides a limitless number of IP addresses for websites. IPv6 also makes it easier to configure the internet, which should ultimately lead to greater savings for businesses when connecting to the internet. Ask those ISPs if they have started using IPv6 before deciding which one to use for internet service. It just may dramatically reduce expenses and increase production soon.

The Uke Box
I recently took up the ukulele. Despite the rain and clouds outside my window (or perhaps because of them) I feel like I'm walking on sunshine.

No more videos
I don't know if it's the server, the computer, or my Flash program, but when I posted my cartoons, they looks like crap. So no more animation posts. Perhaps you'll be able to see them on Youtube later.

Art! Science!
Here's the first part of the cartoon I made for my uncle's presentation. Not bad, when you think about the fact that I had never used Flash before. It's more than awesome being able to see your drawings come to life, even in only two dimensions.
For your viewing pleasure, put this on a loop.
Science! Art!
Anyhoo, these are a few flash cartoons I made for my uncle Jerry, who manages the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach (I drop names). It's supposed to be about artists and scientists collaborating to get information across to the public.

Love Parade is coming up
I've posted this before, but Love Parade is actually coming up in the next few weeks to give certain portions of Germany massive hangovers.
This was a book cover for a contest that I simply didn't have time to enter. So I finished it at my own pace.
Jazz up your garden
I was housesitting for my librarian this weekend, feeding her cats and such, when the whiskers got to me and I went on an Egyptian bent. Since I couldn't remember much about Bast, the cat-headed Goddess, I did Anubis instead. I prefer canines.

Former world number one Kim Clijsters has confirmed that the US Open in August will be her last tournament before she retires from the sport for a second and final time.
The Belgian - a three-time champion at Flushing Meadows - is missing the clay court season in a bid to be fit for Wimbledon and the London Olympics.
She then plans to finish her career in the United States.
Clijsters, who had already said 2012 would be her final year, told a news conference: "I will end my career at the US Open."
The 28-year-old added: "As it stands I will end my career at the US Open. That is where I enjoyed my greatest triumphs and it is a very special place for me."
Clijsters won the US Open in 2009 upon her return to the sport after initially retiring in 2007.

V-Mart leaves game with irritation of sore back
DETROIT -- Victor Martinez's return to the Tigers' lineup lasted just a game and a half. His absence this time could linger into next week.
One night after homering in his return from a sore back, Martinez left Friday's game against the Rays after three at-bats when he aggravated the injury. The soreness is centered on his right side, he said, and originated from a swing he took last Sunday in Houston.
Martinez is expected to miss Saturday's middle game of this series, and seemed pessimistic about his chances for Sunday as well.
"I don't know," Martinez said. "The way I'm feeling right now, I don't see it happening."
With a day off on Monday, Martinez could take three days of rest before returning for Tuesday's series opener against the Dodgers.
Martinez had returned to action Thursday and homered off Rays lefty Erik Bedard, quieting any lingering concern over his status. Ausmus said Friday that the switch-hitting Martinez felt better swinging right-handed than left-handed, but said later that Martinez had reported improvement from both sides.
Friday's matchup against Rays righty Alex Cobb put his status to the test. So did Cobb's fourth-inning pitch that hit Martinez in the back of his right leg, leaving him hobbling to first base. He stayed in the game and rounded the bases to score on a Torii Hunter groundout, then added an RBI single off Cobb two innings later.
The pitch had nothing to do with the injury, Martinez said. The swing he put on the RBI single, however, aggravated it.
"One swing," he said. "That's all it takes."
When Martinez's DH spot came back around in the eighth inning, however, Rajai Davis pinch-hit.
The Tigers face right-hander Chris Archer on Saturday before a nationally televised Sunday night matchup against left-hander David Price. If Martinez can't go, Davis would likely re-enter the starting lineup, leaving J.D. Martinez or Hunter to move to DH.

For the last several days of our stay in Haiti, we were unable to blog because our computer charger stopped working! This blog will hopefully recap the highlights of our week as we reflect back on our trip now that we are home in Nashville.
Since we were unable to watch the Olympics, Monday and Tuesday were spent playing our own sports related mini games. Jump the river, the parachute, and the spoon race were big hits, but the nighttime basketball tournament was the main event. It was a double-elimination, 3-on-3 tournament, featuring eight teams (we fielded a men's and women's team). Due to the large turnout, we were forced to postpone the end of the tournament until Thursday in order for the kids to get to bed. The following day was supposed to be our big Track and Field day at the C.B.T, but as we were about to leave, a huge storm changed our plans, but we didn't let it ruin our fun! We started an epic water balloon fight that ended with everyone stomping around in the newly formed puddles. Later that night, we broke out the face paint! After convincing the older guys to paint their face, it was funny to see all the little ones quickly change their minds and decide to have their faces painted. The carefully painted designs soon turned into smears of color after all the kids went nuts and painted anything in sight.
In addition to the fun we had with the kids, we had the chance to work around the orphanage on little projects that needed some attention. We cleaned up the workshop area, stained the benches and table, and helped clear thousands of pounds of dirt and grave for their new basketball court. Some of the men who worked there were impressed with our work ethic and how quickly we moved all of the dirt and gravel with two wheelbarrows and a couple buckets. Americans are generally perceived as fat and lazy so it was great to hear that we didn't fall into that stereotype!
Our last full day in Haiti was spent relaxing before we made the long trek back home. We were able to see a Haitian beach, barter at a local market, and enjoy a nice dinner with Hunter, Jillian, and a couple of the staff members. After dinner we were able to finish up the basketball tournament from Tuesday night. Alexander, Ben, and Steven made it to the championship before losing to a team of two older boys and a staff member. On Friday morning, we said our goodbyes and sadly headed off to the airport. Leaving the kids was difficult, but many of them have Facebook and Skype, and we look forward to keeping in touch with them until we can return.
Though our time at CHCH was short, we feel as if we made connections that seem stronger than a week old. Every member of the trip left changed by the love the kids poured out to us all week. It is evident that the orphanage does a wonderful job of meeting the needs of these kids. Unfortunately this help comes at a high price. CHCH relies not only on teams coming down to connect with the kids, but also on donations that allow them to continue their work. Without this financial aid, the orphanage wouldn't be capable of providing the loving environment these children so desperately need. It is unfortunate that something so simple as the concept of money can make or break this children's home. We will continue to pray daily that God will move the hearts of those who are willing to give to CHCH. God blessed us immensely in allowing us to go on this trip. People always say that those serving will be affected more than those being served, and we found that we are further proof of this statement. Getting to know the kids, interacting with them, seeing them take care of each other, and the true joy they possess is an experience we will never forget. We saw God in each one of them, and the way they showed us that was effortless. No matter how broken the country of Haiti may be, the kids rise above the brokenness. In this spiritually dark place, the orphanage is a ray of light to 62 otherwise hopeless orphans. They are not only provided their earthly needs, but their spiritual needs are nurtured as well. We look forward to the day where we not only rejoice with them again in Haiti, but in Heaven as well. We began the trip with heavy hearts, and while our hearts are still with Matt and his family, God worked through these kids to help us mend them slightly.
John 20:29, "then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.'"
Until next time,
Katie and Alexander

Religion, Ritual and Performance in the Renaissance brings together more than 80 works, sacred and secular, spanning the late thirteenth to early seventeenth centuries, from both Northern and Southern Europe. The objects—which include paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts—are from the collections of the AMAM and Yale University Art Gallery.
The exhibition was made possible by a generous grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, as part of a collection-sharing initiative. It presents works used in private devotion, public worship, religious processions, and other rites and rituals, such as marriages, alongside those of a more secular nature, including portraits and chests, which nevertheless perform functions related to self-fashioning and display. Among the many exceptional works in the exhibition are two portable altarpieces that would have been used in private devotion: one, a painted triptych (the earliest on view, from ca. 1280-90), is discreet and intimate, while the other, a lapis lazuli- and coral-encrusted work complete with its case (one of the latest works, from 1608), is a masterpiece of craftsmanship. The exhibition allows the AMAM to supplement its rich Renaissance collection with superb paintings from Yale by Taddeo and Agnolo Gaddi, Sano di Pietro, Ridolfo Ghirlandaio, Lucas van Leyden, and Jacopo Tintoretto, among many others, as well as sculptures from France, Germany, and Italy.
An exciting aspect of the exhibition is the opportunity it presents to see works by Apollonio di Giovanni, Neri di Bicci, Mariotto di Nardo, and Barthel Bruyn the Elder from both the AMAM and YUAG collections. Also reunited are six enigmatic paintings from a series of twelve by Maerten van Heemskerck.
A very large early fifteenth-century Florentine altarpiece is seen in its full glory, emphasizing the fragmentary nature of so many other Renaissance paintings whose original surrounding works have been lost. The exhibition will be used extensively in
teaching, research, and public programs during the 2012-13 academic year.
This exhibition was curated by Andria Derstine, John G.W. Cowles Director, who would like to thank former Director Stephanie Wiles and former Curator of Academic Programs Colette Crossman for their many contributions. Additional assistance was provided by Franny Brock (OC 2009) and Sarah Farkas (OC 2012). Associate Professor Erik Inglis, Professor Steven Plank, Professor Nicholas Jones, many other Oberlin College faculty members, Curator of Academic Programs Liliana Milkova, and colleagues from the Yale University Art Gallery were integral to the project's realization.

ENGS 10: The Science and Engineering of Digital Imaging
Recent advances in electrical and computer engineering, computer science and applied mathematics have made remarkable digital imaging systems possible. Such systems are affecting everyone today — from eyewitness documentation of social and political events to health care to entertainment to scientific discovery. This course will introduce students to the fundamental concepts underlying a diverse and representative collection of modern digital imaging systems including cell phone cameras, medical imaging systems, space telescopes, computer games and animated movies. Specific attention will be paid to the scientific principles and engineering challenges underlying optics, computer processing chips, image processing software and algorithms, data compression and communication, and digital sensors as well as the basic principles of human vision and cognition. Students will explore and learn the basic science and technology through a combination of in-class lectures and active hands-on experimentation with digital cameras, image processing software and digital video systems. Students will participate in a course-long group project that demonstrates their understanding of and ability to harness these new technologies. Students will be expected to have access to an entry-level digital camera, either standalone or attached to a cell phone or tablet computer. Enrollment limited to 75 students.

96 posts MemberUsually when I get frustrated at many deaths in play a lot more cautious. By cautious I mean get 2 or 3 pulse cannon kills from the back and that's how I build up more confidence to do good the rest of the match and calm down0
91 posts MemberKeep calm and carry on. I seriously have alot of bad games, compounded by how I have to drop after just one round due to the stupid faction switching between rounds. But it doesn't bother me in the slightest, so long as it was fun. I'm just not as competitive as everyone else, I guess. So long as I got me a couple Rebel kills I'm happy.

In the rare chance it happens, we wait until we switch sides and more often than not roast the **** out of them.
Jarlen's advice is also clutch -- especially when I enter larger modes where I know I'm at a distinct disadvantage due to only casual playing them.0
107 posts MemberSeptember 22, 2016 12:46AM edited September 2016Have your second hand be your "happy" hand. When I'm getting dominated, I switch over to shields and scatter gun. Then:
1) Spot enemy
2) Activate shield
3) Sprint directly to closest enemy
4) Bring out scattergun
5) Deactivate shield
6) Pull trigger
7) Smile
(PS if you're having a really bad time repeat steps 1-6 until you're satisfied you've shown off your dominance)0

At ScHARR we teach all of our students the excellent and freely available Mendeley reference management software. As previously mentioned we've also taught students in other faculties and several 100s of students down the line we've not had too many complaints, well nothing we cannot rectify. The response from our students, who are mostly International has been overwhelmingly positive - we think it is a real game changer. Mendeley is a superb piece of software that not only manages your references, cites as you write and creates bibliographies, but it is a social network, a database of references and a place for collaboration. To help all of our students, I have made a few short informal videos, under the banner 'Minute Mendeley' - sadly the hope of making these videos in just a minute were short-lived, so in reality they should be called Minute and 40 Seconds Mendeley, but it just doesn't roll of the tongue, does it? I've also added other official Mendeley videos, so virtually everything you wanted to know about Mendeley is here in one place.
Here is one of the videos below on annotating PDFs online, for more go to the Minute Mendeley website.
