I repudiate your silly grammar rules, with examples:
Assassination attempt.

Church historians.
Noun modifiers.
Job description.

Re: What the Industry Expects from Graduates

As I read through the list, as well as the "5 Signs You Should Not Major In Graphic Design" post, I am glad that I've stepped into the program. I've had what has seemed some natural ability in design, but have needed to develop it. Though, I am concerned as I know that I tend to have a tendency to start projects strong and struggle with follow-through.

After Kristy Pennino's syllabus-day comment that pursuing both the GD and ID degrees would be worthwhile I've been thinking about doing just that. After reading this and the points about Print vs. Web I'm more convinced even if that puts graduation off a year. (I may not be working full-time and taking classes full-time, but kid-having, home-owning, and career-middling does add some hour-sucks to my schedule.) I do hope that the self-evaluation portion of the classes will help me hone my skills and shore up my shortfalls.

The main problem with all of these is their tendency to get "caught up" in the targets. The spikes, razor wire, glass, and saw blades could easily get stuck in the zombies themselves. Effective weapons one-on-one, but if there's a herd after you you're gonna have problems.

The spoon… from Prince of Theives

The world is not less safe today, it's just that the crimes and tragedies that have always been happening are more widely reported and popularized by sites like this one.

It's not good or bad, just different.

Re: “aha” moments: biblical scholars tell their stories (6): Christopher W. Skinner

Dr. Skinner,

I'm currently ministering in the same parachurch ministry that you did at one time. I would love an opportunity to interact with you about your thoughts and feelings on the organization. Is there a good way to contact you directly, as a conversation within the context of this comment thread would probably be inappropriate?

Thanks.

1. Thank you, Pete, for this series. I am both scared, and very excited about the intellectual and Bible-trusting fruit it's bearing in me. Even if it's being read in a single night (after reading "The Evolution of Adam")!
2. Can someone explain the Obadiah reference that Michael is making? I am totally lost on it.

If I don't believe in ghosts, then he's not there. Reality is dependent on my own personal opinion about ghosts?

Yeah, and we're not seeing any emotional issues at all with the people returning from war.

Re: 1-year-old who became sick at sea picked up by U.S. Navy

Oh, hey, look, a WEATHER NEWS site provided information - Weather Underground says:

"After their 36-foot sailboat lost steering and communication abilities about 900 miles southwest of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, they sent a satellite call for help to the U.S. Coast Guard on Thursday."

See, LOSING communications is not the same as not having communications. Or at least it communicates different things when written as a news piece.

"The sailboat did not have steering or communication abilities."

Were they just on a log raft or something, at the mercy of the currents? Also, how did they communicate with someone to come and help their sick daughter?

"She wrote that the family was traveling with a satellite phone."

So they could communicate. It seems to me this sentence contradicts the first entirely. A satellite phone is, by its very nature, a communication device.

Pull your crap together, Susanna Capelouto.

Re: When Jesus and Satan shared a name

jaysonwhelpley — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 23:03:57 -0000

I've also heard a theory that the Son of the Morning/Lightbearer/Morning Star name was actually a title or position that Satan fell from and Jesus earned/obtained/inherited.
