Evolution Proved.

Here she is...

This 1ft 9 inch tall specimen is the missing link. If you don't believe her, just ask her owners. This obvious proto-human finally fills the age-old evolutionary gap that has plagued scientist who knew the answer and were looking for the evidence. Now we can confidently go from this:

to this:

Why we didn't guess that lemurs obviously fill the gap is beyond me. It seems so obvious now that we have been told so.

Rare Octopus fossil confims evolution ... I guess.

2009-03-18T13:01:00.003-05:00

Full story Here:

Pay attention here:

What most surprised Fuchs and his colleagues Giacomo Bracchi and Robert Weis was how similar the specimens are to modern octopus. "These things are 95 million years old, yet one of the fossils is almost indistinguishable from living species," Fuchs said.

But then...

"The more primitive relatives of octopuses had fleshy fins along their bodies. The new fossils are so well preserved that they show, like living octopus, that they didn't have these structures," Fuchs said.

This insight pushes back the origins of the modern octopus by tens of millions of years, he said.

You know, in physics if we have a theory... like say... The theory that all particles and waves require a medium through which to propagate, but then I discover that particles and waves can travel through vacuum -- Its understandable that I might conclude that hidden in the vacuum is a medium which I might call 'the ether'. But I haven't then advanced my understanding of physics. I've simply propped up my theory by continuing to assume that it is true. I can then spend my time trying to find the ether. That would be a valid search. But if I continued to find that there was no measurable ether, it would not be ridiculous to postulate that there was no ether. That an 'ether' was not the way to connect the dots from where I do have understanding to where I don't. Every article which says something like "this new finding radically changes what we know about the evolution of ______" increases my skepticism. Perhaps its just the way to grab attention in an article, but consider this. While Einstein's theory of Gravity improved what we know about gravity, it didn't invalidate Newtonian gravity. Einstein's theories explains gravity more broadly and better. It didn't conclude that massive bodies repel each other. My question is how many times do you have to re-think a theory before you look for a new one?

Also notice that while I only criticize this article, I offer no theory to replace it. There's nothing obvious to draw from this except that:
some 95 Million yr old octopi look just like 1 yr old octopi,
and that this finding is most surprising to evolutionists.

I believe that the result here is surprising because the model predicts that old stuff will be very different from new stuff due of constant adaptation of species over time.

Conversely, the finding that Einstein gravity dilates (or stretches out) time was surprising because it was not predicted by Newtonian gravity, not because it contradicted a Newtonian prediction. Newton had nothing to say about gravity's affect on time.

"Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted"

2009-03-02T07:48:00.001-05:00

"Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted"
by Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854

1. Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes, my soul, 'tis He! 'tis He!
'Tis the long-expected Prophet,
David's Son, yet David's Lord;
Proofs I see sufficient of it:
'Tis the true and faithful Word.

2. Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
Was there ever grief like His?
Friends through fear His cause disowning,
Foes insulting His distress;
Many hands were raised to wound Him,
None would interpose to save;
But the deepest stroke that pierced Him
Was the stroke that Justice gave.

3. Ye who think of sin but lightly
Nor suppose the evil great
Here may view its nature rightly,
Here its guilt may estimate.
Mark the Sacrifice appointed,
See who bears the awful load;
'Tis the WORD, the LORD'S ANOINTED,
Son of Man and Son of God.

4. Here we have a firm foundation;
Here the refuge of the lost;
Christ's the Rock of our salvation,
His the name of which we boast.
Lamb of God, for sinners wounded,
Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Him their hope have built.

By the numbers.

So the battery in my scale at home needed to be replaced. Upon replacing it I have found out that I weigh
197 lbs
So, I'm pretty pumped. This is close to my birth weight. Aparently my BMI is now 25.3 which means I'm so close to being classified 'normal' instead of 'overwieght' that some websites just give it to me.

Three things that make an Obama Victory Okay.

2008-11-04T10:39:00.004-05:00

Number One: The World will Love America once again. No longer will we have to plead with people all over the world to come and live and work in America. People will begin to literally and figuratively swarm our borders and want to live and work in America once again! Also countries that once did not care for us like Iran, Syria, Venezuela, and world organizations like the UN and the Taliban, will finally like us.

Number Two: Peace on earth. This is also a big one. Once we stop confronting evil forces in the world, naturally the world will follow our example resulting in peace.

Number Three: No more sacrifice. For instance, once upon a time, in primitive cultures, people had to live without today's basic necessities like cell phones, ipods, cable TV, TV's themselves(!), a month's supply of different clothes, laptops, the internet, fast food, and motorized transportation, if it would insure that they had more long term necessities like life, liberty, health and the like. They actually had to go without the gadgets that make life worth living in order to live at all. No longer! Mother Government will take care of one and all!

However, as Obama himself noted many times, any and all of these outcomes are subject to 'change'.

Well, no use in persuading me anymore...

2008-10-31T13:15:00.002-05:00

I voted already. Here's the thing. Its certainly not 'change' for the candidate with the most money to win. Its not good 'change' to win while breaking promises that give you an advantage. That is what is implied in the title of the last post; 'The Change We Get'. Obama may actually win the presidency. Either way, we'll get what we paid for. But bear this in mind. I have given a lot of thought to this race and this election and its results. Whoever wins will be in my prayers. I will pray for them to make wise decisions. I would pray that they pursue real virtues like wisdom, honor, integrity, justice, mercy, and courage and base their decisions on these. That they would not tolerate folly, dishonor, deceit, injustice, cruelty, or cowardice. Its a tall order, but its also the highest office in the land... what else would you expect?

The Change we get.

2008-10-29T08:51:00.001-05:00

You can't beat city hall... But I can.

2008-10-15T15:36:00.005-05:00

So today I went to Chapel hill district court for a ticket I received on August 24, for driving with an expired registration. I was doing it out of protest. (naw.. I just never got reminded. turns out if you get married and change your address, they don't forward unimportant notices like 'car registration renewal'.) So I figuratively kicked down the doors of the Court/Post Office and calmly walked over to the metal detector. I met my keys and manly metal coffee mug on the other side unscathed. Finally, at the end of the hallway waited the Assistant DA of Orange County... and her assistant. The AADA quickly grabbed my file and handed it to the ADA. She accused me of going 64 in a 35. Then the AADA grabbed my actual file. Then, as sweat beaded ever so slightly on the forehead of the ADA, she read my citation, saw my registration, and summarily dismissed my ticket, and told me I was free to go.

Now, we'll see if I don't get a notice in the mail of my "court costs", but if that doesn't happen, then to City Hall, I say "take that!"

Also, Jamie and I are having a baby.

Did you catch that?

FLASH: Sarah Palin abuse of power!

2008-09-17T08:38:00.003-05:00

Sarah Palin has been investigated and found guilty by this reporter of violating federal law by removing the tags from her mattress and pillows! Is this the kind of leadership we want in Washington D.C. ? Sounds like 8 more years of the same to me. Also, have you noticed how McCain / Palin breathe and eat food? Just like Bush! Also they wear clothes like Bush! We need more hard news sources like US. News and World Report, to point out these countless inconsistencies. Barak Obama has never ripped the tags off of his mattresses. Thats the change we need.

And the demographic is...

2008-08-29T08:32:00.003-05:00

Women.
Maybe I'm slow at connecting the dots, but it seems to me that Obama has spent a lot of time courting women voters. Lets analyze shall we? Lets just start out by stating the obvious. Every candidate wants all voters. Racist, sexist, misogynist, feminist, whatever. You might not cater to them, but you want any vote you can take. The real win comes from taking votes away from someone else. You want undecided voters, but you'll get quite a surge from mind change voters. They count not only +1 for you, but -1 for your opponent. The whole 'zero sum' game.

Now, if we are honest with ourselves, we will acknowledge that there are a lot of superficial people out there. I will hypothesize that there is a large overlap between the superficial voters, and the voters who are not interested in politics. The superficial voters include people who vote on these issues: race, sex, appearance, age, etc. There are others, I'm sure, but these give us enough. I won't bother going through all the rigor of demonstrating how each of these things could be applied positively or negatively to each candidate; may it suffice to say that is the case. But I would then that a superficial voter who is not interested in politics is, by definition, not someone who has made up their mind about voting for a particular candidate.

Now, these superficial uninterested voters are still polled, and they are likely to be the ones who are leaners. That is, they like A today and maybe B tomorrow, all dependent on time of day, weather, and most importantly, what commercials they saw last night.

Now it turns out that women vote more than men. It also turns out that women make up the majority of 'swing' voters. And now, I humbly submit, that the 'swing' voter is made up primarily of superficial uninterested voters.
(please send hatemail to bob@bob.gov)

The superficial uninterested voter (SUV) is not a bad person. I am certainly not suggesting that they ought not be allowed to vote. But I now offer this thesis as an explanation as to why the political landscape is the way it is. Why candidates reduce their platforms to catch-phrase platitudes accuse the other of being elitist, out of touch, or, God forbid, rich (as if both candidates aren't).

The SUV's by their nature are swing voters of the worst kind. They'll go from voting for A because shes a woman, to voting for B because he's black, to voting for C because he's a mormon, and back to A because she cried. What I am attacking is the reasoning of the SUV, or lack thereof. Not that they don't have a reason, but that they have no principles, at least not any good ones, and so they are subject to a multitude of reasons and are likely to pull the lever influenced most by whatever happened the night before, or perhaps, if it was good enough, the infamous October surprise!

So when I started writing this post, I thought I would be writing about how Obama catered to women as evidenced by many things:
Appearances and Interviews in MANY women's magazines while comparably fewer interviews with news media
Some of his responses at saddleback. Notice that the first two people mentioned as 'wise counselors' were his wife and grandmother?

There are others, but I'll now point out that the latest news is that McCain has chosen Gov. Palin of Alaska. This is an interesting development, and I think it may be a turning point for McCain.

It's not Jackie Chan!

10 things you didn't know about birds, reveals one thing you might have guessed.

2008-06-27T13:50:00.003-05:00

http://www.livescience.com/animals/080626-bird-tree.html

This article reports that "..much of bird classification and conventional wisdom on the evolutionary relationships of birds is wrong."

This study:
(A) presumes T.C.A. (The Theory of Common Ancestry-- Usually thrown around under the name 'evolution') is true- with its foundations firmly on observations interpreted through a Darwinian lens, and
(B) concludes that the previous observations are wrong.

Is that not begging the question?

In other words,
(1) birds were categorized and grouped based on certain physical features and assumptions about TCA;

(2) The groupings of (1) are PREDICTIONS about how the birds evolved.

(3)This study finds that based on genetic analysis, many of the groupings of (1), and thus the predictions of (2) are wrong.

(4) thus, reasons for assuming that TCA is true were wrong.

Other fun quotes from the article:

"8. Owls, parrots and doves have few, if any, living intermediate forms linking them to other well-defined groups of birds, making it difficult to determine their evolutionary relationships." (emphasis added)

"10. Birds have had a complex evolutionary history after an early and rapid explosion of species that occurred sometime between 65 million and 100 million years ago." (emphasis added)

I could make some predictions of my own based on this article.

Didn't you always wonder why the moon looks bigger on the horizon than in the sky above? Finally an explanation that makes sense (if not a little disappointingly boring). It turns out that its an optical illusion. We think of the sky as sort of a shallow bowl shape because we see clouds above us that are not so far away, but we see things on the horizon that can be very far away. our minds then interpret the "far-away" moon on the horizon as having to be HUGE, while the "high-noon" moon is regular size. In actuality they are the same size.

Obama and Hamas

2008-06-04T09:05:00.003-05:00

Not good news for Obama supporters. According to FactCheck.org McCain's recent comments about Hammas speaking favorably about Barry Obama are true. I hope he didn't plan on getting votes from the Jewish community. (Or the community of people who believe that there is such a thing as evil, that Hammas is evil, and that giving the dignity of a voice to a group like Hammas by meeting with them is not good, and not what we want from our leaders.)

On the other hand, I'm sure this will look great to people who are concerned with the 'image of America in the eyes of the international community', but not particularly concerned with whether the USA does the morally correct thing. How progressive of America to meet with terrorist organizations!

[UPDATE: As far as I know, Obama has never said that he would unconditionally meet with Hammas, and according to the article, he has criticized Jimmy Carter's doing so. ]

Bush writes tell all book.

2008-05-30T10:53:00.001-05:00

In the wake of Scott McClellans new book "What Happened", George W. Bush has endeavored to steal all of his thunder by writing his own tell all book.

"What do I care? I've only got a hundred or so days left." said Bush, adding "Nucular.[sic]"

Its no secret that the bubble market for Bush-bashing books is likely to burst soon after Bush's exit from the White House in January, but conservative think-tanks were puzzled by the move.
"This guy is just a disgruntled employee who wants to sell books while he can. There is no merit to half the things that Bush says about himself." said former white house aid Karl Rove, Adding "People have been taking President Bush's words out of context since 2000. Now it looks like Bush has jumped on the bandwagon, but I have to questions his credibility. Coming out now is too fiscally beneficial."

When asked about whether or not he did this to make money, Bush denied the accusation. "Nobody writes a book to make money."

2008-05-15T10:07:00.002-05:00

While I haven't actively been counting calories for a while. I have gone back to logging my weight. This morning I was 212.4. Now I'll heartily admit that its probably related to a little dehydration, but i don't remember ever being this weight, so I'll take it. I seriously think I took a 20 lb quantum jump from 200 to 220 when I got to college. I really cant say. What I can say is that if you start eating veggies on a regular basis, stop regularly eating sweets and deserts and high-fat foods, limit sodas to once a week, and get some light exercise like walking 20 minutes a day, you too can lose weight at a rate of about 20lbs a year.

Now, I probably would have lost more weight per year than this if I had actually done all these things. I didn't stick to it very well, and I am pretty generous about giving myself a "special occasion" exception. So yeah. Find someone else who will brutally confront you with your own weakness and lardyness and you too can lose weight.

A new name for Global Warming.

2008-05-12T11:03:00.002-05:00

Hi everybody. Its me. I'm back. It's been a while.
Now down to business. It has come to my attention that the term "Global Warming" has fallen out of fashion with the media and its other nurses. The less spesific term "Climate Change" is now en vogue. This is probably (and I mean this sarcastically) my favorite part of science. Start with a hypothesis, and when the data fails to back your hypothesis, change your hypothesis to something so vague that it can't possibly be wrong. For years it was Global Cooling; then Global Warming; then the more specific (surprise surprise) Man-made Global warming; and then the ultra un-specific "Climate Change"; and lets not forget the panic inducing 'Climate Crisis'. We all know what climate change is. Most people in the world experience it about 4 times a year. They're called "seasons". Why go to 'climate change'? Because Climate Change can describe any 'extreme' weather conditions including 'un-seasonable' cold. Using extreme weather to predict the end of the world goes back to at least biblical times (and probably further). I have a better suggestion if they are looking for a new name. Why don't we call it 'Intelligent Warming'.

Well I feel better.

http://www.livescience.com/environment/060919_black_holes.html
Apparently, IF tiny nanoscopic black holes are created at the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) These black holes would pose no real threat to humanity and earth as we know it. According to the article found here, they would probably evaporate away if stephen hawking is right, but even if he is wrong, most of them would be shot into space and get out of the earth's gravitational field, but EVEN if they didn't, they would only "gobble up" one proton every 100 hours. So it would take a few universe lifetimes to destroy the planet. Unless a whole bunch of them get stuck in orbit around earth... then we're toast. But think of it this way, if a semi massive black hole exists just in earths orbit, maybe we'll weigh less.

This to me is a voice from reason. This is an intelligent man. Can you imagine a president who tries and succeeds at understanding people who he disagrees with? Nowhere does he defend what the Rev. Wright says, but he has compassion and understanding. The easiest thing would be to attack the statements and the man, and to drive the wedge of racism further in, but not so for Huckabee. Incidentally, this would be something that, I am sure, Coulter, and Hannity, and Limbaugh and the rest have no tolerance for, but then again, they are the voices of reaction, and not the voices of reason.

2008-03-31T19:23:00.008-05:00

So maybe you've heard that there is an election coming up. I know I have. And lo and behold! My favorite candidate has dropped out. Now, I have heard some others suggest that the only candidate whose values would always align 100% with their own is themselves. This is an interesting, if not obvious point. Now as a voter who will not be voting for himself, as I suspect you also are, we must establish what our options are before we move forward. We have many, and so I will try to enumerate what I suspect the top choices are.

Vote party loyal
Vote against party to punish it for not choosing my candidate
Vote against person I dislike most
Not Vote at all
Vote my conscience
Vote for most viable candidate who's values most align with my own

Now, there may be more options, but we'll consider these. Now first I will eliminate all of the options that are stupid:

~~Vote party loyal~~
~~Vote against party to punish it for not choosing my candidate~~
~~Vote against person I dislike most~~
~~Not Vote at all~~
Vote my conscience
Vote for most viable candidate who's values most align with my own

You may be saying "whoa whoa whoa... why would all of those options be stupid?"
I would answer like this.
Option 1 requires no thought. You could be voting for Satan, but as long as there is an "R" by his name, so be it.

Option 2 requires some thought, but is essentially like Option 1; You could be voting for Satan, but as long as she doesn't have an 'R' by her name, so be it.

Option 3 is stupid because it is a slightly modified version of Option 2. It goes something like...' Boy I sure don't like Satan, but i REALLY don't like that Romney fella..."

Option 4 is stupid because voting is our power and our duty; it is the way in which we can give power to people who we want to represent us. By not voting, you are giving more power to the people who are voting for the two candidates that you don't like enough to vote for.

I'll let this stew in your mind for a bit before continuing to tell you how it is.

power point.

Now that you have your W2's...

2008-02-06T12:46:00.000-05:00

Take your W2 and check this website http://www.fairtaxcalculator.org/ to see what you might have saved. For those of you who don't know about it, let me hit the highlights:
The fair tax eliminates:
Federal withheld Income Tax
Social Security Tax
Medicare

Or in essence, you get all your paycheck. That seems nice, but how does the government make money?

Federal revenue is replaced with a 23% consumption tax. This means that you are taxed on what you spend. NOT on what you earn. Does 23% sound high? There is already a 22-24% embedded tax in almost everything that you purchase. So you're already paying this tax... its just that you are paying it for corporations.

But Charles, doesn't that include taxing essentials like food and medicine?

Yes it does. BUT, Every citizen is eligible for a monthly household "PREBATE CHECK" which reimburses taxpayers for taxes paid up to a limit determined to cover basic needs.

So for instance: I make about $21,000 a year. With my expenses for school and car payments and the like, the fair tax calculator says I'm eligible for $10210 in tax free spending and so I would get a check for $195 every month ON TOP of getting ALL of my paycheck. The estimated Net Tax burden on me becomes 4.7% of my income. Right now I don't pay into SS or Medicare because I am paid with grant money, however, the Federal Government still takes 9% of my income away, and the state takes about 5%.

Now lets imagine I'm rich?
we'll say my income is 99,000 and all my other payments and such scales accordingly
I'm still eligible for 10210 in tax free spending, and so I still get the check for $195 a month.

For a family of 2 you get 20420 in tax free spending a year, and a prebate of $390 a month.

It doesn't matter what you earn, your prebate is determined by family size alone!
incidentally, this hypothetical single 99,000 dollar earner has a tax burden estimated at 15% -- still far better then the 30% I hear about. And the married $99,000 earner has a 13% burden.

Lets check further... what about a $1,000,000 family? Their burden is 19.7%

This is a win-win-win situation (to steal from "the Office") is it not?

Huckabee displays decorum.

"Romney, who's been criticized for trying to buy the election, has kept that figure close to the vest. His fourth quarter report, posted on the FEC's Web site less than one hour before Thursday's midnight deadline (near the final edition deadlines of many East Coast daily newspapers), showed that last year he invested a total of $35.4 million in his campaign. But his campaign said Thursday he'll dig deeper into his pockets to pay for advertising in some of the expensive media markets in California and other Super Tuesday states. "

Some of my concerned conservative friends have wondered about the NEA endorsement of Huckabee, saying that this points to his liberalness. According the linked article at FactCheck, the endorsement was only by the New Hampshire chapter of the national organization.
Also, according to this story they also endorsed Hillary Clinton (demonstrating that Huckabee was not the only person endorsed, but rather that the NH chapter endorsed a candidate from each side.) Anywho. thats all.

A message from John Kerry....

2008-01-07T08:53:00.000-05:00

Er... I mean, Mitt Romney.

Why Huckabee and Obama are running the best campaigns.

2008-01-05T08:28:00.000-05:00

Now personally, I have been following the Huckabee campaign much more closely than the Obama campaign. However, I think that their strengths are likely similar and a sign of the times if you will. This election cycle is proving to be very unconventional for reasons I will list below:
The Internet
Youtube
TiVo
Character
and finally, Wisdom or luck.

Now the first three are technology based, and we'll start with them.
The Internet.
who now can imagine life without the internet? Its birth and maturity have been fairly short however. Internet was esentially 'brand new' to homes in just 1998 the people most getting used to the internet then? kids. 8 year olds. how old are they now? 18. old enought to vote. This may be the first election cycle where a very young voter turn out is high and i believe that that has to to with the availability of information on the internet. Word of mouth is now 'viral' on the net. And word of mouth is the best way to influence somebody.
Youtube
while other campaigns spend millions on tv ads (which I will address next) Huckabee made the best use of of Youtube, which is totally free. He also made good use of Chuck Norris. Nobody fast forwards through youtube... they do fastforward through tv ads if they have...
TiVO or some other DVR
My Iowan friend told me that in Iowa before the caucuses, EVERY ad on tv was a political ad. People of today have the means to skip your stupid ad while they watch Leno, or Letterman... which incidentally, Huckabee was recently on. (Leno, and Letterman tonight).
Character
Now, none of this free exposure does you any good unless you have a message that resonates with people. A Huckabee must rely on his wits and likeability when he subjects himself to media grilling, or even a talkshow. Any major gaffes will lead to a Deanesque departure from popular public opinion.
Wisdom or luck
I think that it was Huckabee's lack of money at first that forced him to use these unconventional approaches that have been so integral to his campaign. This would be 'luck'-- I might call it providence. I'd probably be scared of anyone who knew ahead of time that all these characters would play together to woo public interest, but huckabee himself nods to providence.

Whats this?

Finally, a blog with the journalistic integrity that we as a blogging community have come to expect.

Take a deep breath.

2007-12-30T17:52:00.000-05:00

In this story, the RIAA is suing someone for transferring files from a legally bought CD to their own personal computer. Now, this might not be the whole story, but as it was presented in the article, it sounds like this was basically it. This is outrageous. Completely unacceptable and intolerable. If the judge that hears this case does not award damages to the accused, I will see it as a unjust. The legal fees of the accused as well as compensation for time lost from work as well and damages for the attempted extortion of money are all due to the accused. I could just scream.

A must see.

2007-12-30T16:42:00.001-05:00

Huckabee on meet the press. A very candid interview. I was impressed.
Topics covered:
Abortion, Homosexuality, International Policy, Border Security, Religion, Success in Iowa, and more I can't remember.

Best Quote

2007-12-22T22:54:00.000-05:00

"All I know is this, if I had that much money, that many consultants, that many employees, that many different headquarters, that much paraphernalia, I might be running as far behind as he is,"
-Mike Huckabee

Human evolution "speeding up"

2007-12-14T09:43:00.000-05:00

Quotes from the story:
"I was raised with the belief that modern humans showed up 40,000 to 50,000 years ago and haven't changed," explained Henry C. Harpending, an anthropologist at the University of Utah. "The opposite seems to be true."
---------------------------------
this belief has an "opposite"?
---------------------------------
"That doesn't mean we should expect major changes in a few generations, though, evolution occurs over thousands of years."
---------------------------------
Very Convenient.
---------------------------------
"If evolution had been proceeding steadily at the current rate since humans and chimps separated 6 million years ago there should be 160 times more differences than the researchers found."
---------------------------------
How dynamic of you evolution! Even evolution evolves so that the data look like what you need them to look like!
---------------------------------
The increase in human population from millions to billions in the last 10,000 years accelerated the rate of evolution because "we were in new environments to which we needed to adapt," Harpending adds. "And with a larger population, more mutations occurred."
---------------------------------
I thought most of the population explosion was in the last few hundred years, but I could be mistaken.
---------------------------------
and from another similar story :
All of which poses a problem for anyone who equates genes with human nature, or who expects evolution to take God's place as judge and perfecter of humankind. It may be true that today's God [is] a human creation. But so, in a way, is today's evolution.

These are the trends...

All you need to know is that the green line is Huckabee.

Thoughts on immigration.

2007-12-10T10:41:00.000-05:00

A friend of mine got married a few months ago to a lovely woman who happened to come from another country. She desired to retain the citizenship of her homeland; a practice that as far as I know is not uncommon. She was legally married here in the U.S. several months ago to her native U.S. husband. Only recently has she obtained a work permit of some type even though she has had a green card for some time now. Now, to be fair, I haven't meddled in the affairs of this friend, only hearing occasionally the frustrations of trying to get this piece of paper that would allow his wife to work in the U.S. It seems to me to be no wonder that people work here illegally. If it takes a woman who is legally married to a U.S. citizen 3 months or more to get the right documents to work, how could someone in more dire circumstances wait that long to work? Any bureaucracy that keeps this process backed up this badly, effectively only allows those privileged enough to not have to work to do so legally. Now, this could be an extraordinary case, however, I would venture a guess that it is not. So how do you fix this?

Finally!

2007-12-01T12:15:00.000-05:00

Looks like Huckabee has made second place in the tracking poll and this time its not a tie.
Woot!

That's what she said.... no but seriously. According to this report on Rassmussen, Huckabee is gaining serious ground on Hillary and Obama. For all you out there looking for 'electability' or someone who could defeat Clinton, He's well on his way, and without millions of dollars. (which he could use...)

Election 2008: Huckabee vs. Clinton & Obama

Hillary Clinton (D) vs. Mike Huckabee (R)
Hillary Clinton (D)	46%
Mike Huckabee (R)	43%

Barack Obama (D) vs. Mike Huckabee (R)
Barack Obama (D)	49%
Mike Huckabee (R)	38%

And I'll point out that rassmussen claims a margin of error of +/- 3%

I offer you here a window into what I see. (I know you can't read it, but it is a link to the very same page in entirely readable font size and everything.)

Today Mike Huckabee jumped ahead of both McCain and Romney in a Rasmussen daily tracking poll. He's been holding steady in double digits according to rasmussen right along side candidates that have millions more dollars than he. I am curious as to how Ron Paul is doing. He's obviously raising money better than Huckabee, but he's not showing up in the polls. Curious.

Aww....

"Ten million-year-old fossils discovered in Ethiopia show that humans and apes probably split six or seven million years earlier than widely thought, according to landmark study released Wednesday." (emphasis added)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
10 minus 6 or 7 equals 4 or 3. So Lets see here... If my math is right and a 10 million year old fossil changes the earliest humans by 6 or 7 million years, then the original estimate must have been 3 or 4 million years ago. Now... if the "widely thought" view was that humans were here 4 million years ago, and that makes them wrong by only 6 million years, then that demonstrates an error of 150%. That means that they were formerly more than 100% wrong about when the earliest humans were around. I will point out, with the graph below, that an uncertainty this large for when humans and apes split means that they could have split 10 million years ago, or they could split 2 million years in the future. Now, what makes them so sure that they are correct now?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
More from the article
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
' "We know nothing about how the human line actually emerged from apes," the authors of the paper noted.'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
At least they're honest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The scientists leading the team that found the fossils -- Gen Suwa of the University of Tokyo, and Ethiopian paleontologists Berhane Asfaw and Yonas Beyene -- calculated that the human-orangutan split "could easily have been as old as 20 million years."'
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That'd make them more wrong.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
They determined that the teeth belonged to gorilla ancestors based on unique shared characteristics of the molars, which had evolved for a diet of fibrous foods such as stems and leaves.
The match is not exact, however, and could prompt some scientists to challenge the findings.
The teeth fragments, found in barren scrubland some 170 kilometres (100 miles) east of Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, almost went unnoticed.
Asfaw recalled the chance discovery. "It was our last day of field survey in February 2006, and our sharp-eyed field assistant, Kampiro, found the first ape tooth, a canine," he said.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
All this from teeth fragments?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"He picked it up and showed it to me, and I knew that this was something new -- Ethiopia's first fossil great ape."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From someone who knew that it was ethiopia's first fossil great ape upon seeing it alone... I'm starting to suspect bias.

7 years late ain't that bad...

2007-08-04T22:32:00.000-05:00

Well, if you're anything like me or my college buddy andrew, then you suspected that if you woke up on Jan 1, 2000 and the world was still that that maybe.... just maybe... when you keyed into your car that it would be a hover car. Sadly, this did not happen for most people. However, a meager 7 years later you can finally buy that hover car you always wanted. For a mere $90,000 you can hop in your hover car, and hover at about 10 ft in the air without needing a pilots license. Hackers will certainly find a way to get this baby higher, but in the mean time lets just enjoy our 10 ft. If there were a catch, it would have to be the gas mileage. At top speed, you would use about 40 gallons/ hour, which is about what it can hold (i think). Well, if i know anything about anything, I would venture that in 40 years, I will own a hover car... probably one that runs on trash or sea water. Here's hoping!

More on hover cars!

Ok, you'll have to give this a second....

I thought that this was pretty well done. I don't think that they mean any harm. Seems to me to be HILARIOUS- for certain audiences- so enjoy.

And suddenly, I was against the death penalty.

2007-06-20T12:34:00.000-05:00

As I was driving to work today, I had this sudden realization that I was against the death penalty. I don't know why. It didn't seem to be based on some argument that suddenly made sense to me. It was just as if my mind was changed. And of course, "changed" is a perhaps misleading word. I believe that my most previous stance was that If I was forced to choose, I would be against the death penalty. (Before that I suppose I was just for it.) If I had to pin it to something, I would have to say that it is directly related to a personal sense of what grace from God is like. Of being forgiven in proportion to how I forgive. Also, we live in a time where a person can be effectively locked up for the rest of his life (which is effectively a death sentence isn't it?) What I mean to say is that prison breaks are rare as far as I know. We have means to keep people who are dangerous to the law abiding public away from the law abiding public.

I can imagine an argument supporting the death penalty that stems from Jesus redemptive work on the cross. I mean, after all, as a Christian, my salvation depends of Jesus death in place of mine. The death penalty that matters most (i.e. the wages of sin..) comes from God's law does it not? Jesus stance is not to change the death penalty, or to get rid of it, but to serve it for me. How can I make that my stance? Is it possible? Would I really have to die for a murderer?

The closest I can come to as stance that I perceive to be Christ-like, is to say to a murderer: "You deserve death, and indeed you will die, but not from my doing. Now repent and receive Jesus!" And then see that the good news of Jesus is available to him. Of course, I can (and should) do this regardless of whether or not there is a death penalty. (perhaps I should do it more urgently knowing that there is a death penalty!)

Anyway, those are my thoughts for the day.

Alive and lighter.

Hey everybody. Still counting calories on some scale. Now I mostly estimate everything I eat instead of putting it all in to the computer. (especially since I was eating similar things) If i eat something new, or in a quantity that I'm not accustomed, then I will still enter it into the website. I've tried taking my weight in the mornings or at least at the same time most days. I find this method to be the least discouraging. You can see how my weight still varies quite a bit. I suppose that is normal. Anyway, I haven't weighed less than 220 since college. Woot.

The jagged line is my actual weight fluctuation, and the smoother line is a calculated fit line that might represent some average weight. (they do the calculation, not me)

If you have any room layout suggestions just let me know.

This story is about a woman who locked her grandson in a dog kennel when she left him at the house. It raises the question: "why do we imprison people who imprison people to show them that imprisoning people is wrong"?

Oh yeah. We do it because justice requires fitting punishments for criminal acts. Because we don't live in a consequence free society. Because offering forgiveness doesn't mean they didn't do wrong.

So sad...

2007-05-09T15:52:00.000-05:00

If ever there was a compelling appeal against imposing a vegan lifestyle on someone...
This is a truly sad story about a mother and father who malnourished their baby to death by never giving him anything but vegan products. I don't think the parents meant any harm; they were simply stupid- and I am sure that the death of their child is punishment enough. However, they have been sentenced to life in prison for their actions (or inactions). Listen folks. Babies need milk. They need fat. They need protein. I don't know what these people were feeding their child, but whatever they were doing, if you are a parent, do the opposite.

Come on conspiricy theorists... get ready!

You've probably seen this on Drudge. Well what you don't know is that the government carried out this attack for one and only one obvious reason. To give 'credibility' to the claim that gasoline can burn hot enough to melt steel. Twin towers? Anyone? Its obvious, to anyone who is not a republican, that bombs were like placed on this bridge with military precision and detonated when the gas truck had overturned and had been burning for a while. How else could it have happened? Oh, and not killing any civilians this time? Nice touch government. For one split second I thought that maybe it wasn't your sinister planning... that is until I realized how sinister it was to NOT kill people in order to trick me. You thought I'd let you get away with it? The literally tens of people who patronize this site week after week will spread the truth until, in about a million years or so, no one will even question it. Better luck next time government.

The Lord providentially allowed me the time to drive down to see her before He took her. She was 94 years old, and had suffered a stroke Thursday last week. It was hard to see my mom and other family so upset. My sister and I were with my grandma in her last minutes. Right before the end, she was opening her eyes and looking right at me. It was like a gift from God. She was a beautiful and truly loved woman on this earth, and I am sure that she is resting in the chest of Christ.

The pope affirms heaven and hell. About these he says:
' hell is a "state of eternal separation from God", to be understood "symbolically rather than physically".'
so far so good.
Heaven? Nothing from the new guy, but John Paul said:
'"neither an abstraction nor a physical place in the clouds, but that fullness of communion with God, which is the goal of human life".'
I think I'm still with him.
And purgatory?
'"only a theological hypothesis" and not a "definitive truth of the faith".'

2007-03-21T21:54:00.000-05:00

I saw this article on LiveScience titled "Science of Homosexuality Takes a Backseat to Blind Faith" and it provoked the response below in letter form to the author of the article.

Christopher,
I read your article concerning the "Science of Homosexuality" vs. "blind faith". My comments are in reference to your quip about the eating of shrimp as an abomination-- I took you to be taking a jab at those who you see to be preaching one part of the bible and ignoring another part. Certainly this happens far too often among people who call themselves Christians (Our hypocrisy is one of the many reasons we need Christ). However, you might find it interesting that Jesus declared all foods clean in Mark 7:18-20 (Hence, no one picketing Red Lobster) while Paul affirms the Christian's moral stance on homosexuality (Rom. 1:20-28, I Cor 6:1-11). (Below I have provide links to the passages if you care.) You may notice that Paul condemns homosexuality right along side adultery and stealing and then tells the people that "such were some of you" but assures them that grace is still available.
There is no defending those who call themselves Christians and preach hate or promote violence toward homosexuals. Certainly these people have not understood that Jesus preached "love thy neighbor".
I agree that the state has no business telling an adult what they can and can't do sexually with another consenting adult. Neither do I think that Christians should preach to people as if they need to clean up their act before coming to Jesus. One can come to Jesus no other way than sinful. However, if a Christian brother or sister of mine were practicing adultery or homosexuality or stealing (etc.) its my duty as their brother to call their sin a sin. Even then it is ultimately God who is their Judge (see links).
Anyway, if you made it this far, thank you for your time.

take care
Charles Arnold

Well, scientist have just reported the ability to erase the memory of a fear in lab rats without erasing other memories. This is perhaps the scariest thing ever.
