Great service, job done quickly and good communication. Definitely recommend.
The price paid was for fitting only of a pre bought excust which carried out by friendly staff in good time and order. A job well done
These people were superb. Very friendly, helpful, and fair. They looked at the handbrake and calipers, and found that the cable had become loose, which they fixed for the price of labour only. The brakes had been binding but so far, having driven the car, they seem fine. I would highly recommend them.
good service and friendly
A Very friendly garage and very helpful and go that extra mile to help keep you on the road. thanks chaps
Does what it says on the tin, prompt, accurate and within price quoted. Barry was also able to give me advise about a repair carried out by the main dealer which has prompted me to contact them and get it looked into. Thanks
Responded very quickly to my quote request. Good service. Good price
Good service. Would use again.
They advertise some services that are actually not true (1 star for that). Second point, was not possible to book the car in... Why sending quotes if the garage is too busy?
Toms Motors did a great and speedy job replacing my clutch and I would highly recommend this garage to everyone. Tom was very helpful and went the extra mile to ensure a top job was done and at a great price. He even picked up my car from my house and offered me a free of charge courtesy car. Great service start to finish.
Great service. Job completed quickly and efficiently. Would definitely use again and recommend to others.
They did an excellent job I will use the garage again.
More than happy, very helpful
The price was very good for a dealership. I thought to myself when they get my car in thet will tell me it needs loads of work doing it, this is exactly what happened. I ended up having a new battery and having some pipe replaced that had split in the engine. I was quoted £103.00 for the original job and i ended up paying £228.00.
Very pleased with the overall experience, excellent customer service and very well priced for a quality garage.

Debra Kolste seeks re-election to Assembly district that covers Janesville
JANESVILLE—Rep. Debra Kolste said Monday she will seek re-election to the Assembly, continuing what she said is a commitment to job creation, public education and health care despite being in the minority party.
Kolste was first elected to represent the 44th Assembly District in 2012 when she won a four-way Democratic primary and went on to easily defeat incumbent Republican Joe Knilans in the general election.
The district includes most of the city of Janesville.
''I ran in 2012 in part because I wanted to help spur job creation, bolster public education and improve access to health care,'' said Kolste, a Democrat. "I am still committed to working on those issues."
Kolste was appointed to the Speaker's Task Force on Mental Health and helped create several of the bills.
"The work of the task force was bipartisan, and I appreciated the opportunity to serve on a body that produced good legislation,'' she said.
The Legislature recently passed AB 270, a bipartisan bill authored by Kolste that expands services that free medical clinics can offer to low-income uninsured people.
While Kolste said her bill could not have passed without considerable help from Republicans, she remains critical of the Assembly majority for its lack of progress on job creation and what she said is a continued assault on public education.
"Where is the single-minded concentration on jobs and the economy that our state needs?'' Kolste said. "The Legislature spent its energy making it harder for people to vote and funneling money into unaccountable private schools. That's not progress. It doesn't improve education or democracy, and it surely doesn't create jobs.''
Kolste is co-author of small business and workforce development bills and is lead author of a bill to deal with student loan debt. She is a lead author of a bill to eliminate the one-week waiting period for unemployment benefits, and she is one of the original authors of a bill that would reform the now-partisan redistricting process.
Kolste said she came out early in her term in favor of a bill to make the Assembly subject to the open meetings law.
"When you are in the minority, Republican committee chairs often won't even allow hearings on your bills," she said. "I have reached out to work with Republicans. The Legislature might be obsessed with party labels, but people just want good schools, good jobs and opportunities for their kids.
"My job is to keep trying, to keep my constituents informed, to try to build relationships with Republicans and to lay the groundwork for good legislation in the future.''
Kolste is the only registered candidate in the 44th Assembly District.
If necessary, a primary will be Tuesday, Aug. 12. The general election is Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Matt Pommer: Reflecting on D-Day before the colors fade
This week, speeches and tributes in Normandy will mark the 70th anniversary of D-Day.
But perhaps a better sense of that day comes from an interview years ago with Milo G. Flaten Jr. He was 19 when he went into Omaha Beach with the first wave of American GIs. A year earlier—June 6, 1943—he graduated from Shorewood High School north of Milwaukee.
Flaten would survive World War II, earn undergraduate and law degrees from UW-Madison, become a prominent attorney, serve on the Madison City Council and retire as a colonel in the Army Reserve. Although a gregarious human, he was reluctant to talk about the Normandy experience. Finally, he began. The water was rough, and some troops in the landing craft were vomiting as they got about 100 yards from the beach, he remembered.
"German tracer bullets began hitting the ramp. There were jumbled orders. I went over the side. I was in over my head. I took a lot of Boy Scout stuff as a boy. I got rid of a lot of stuff—including my helmet. I knew how to swim. A lot of the hillbillies just drowned. The poor devils," Flaten said.
"We were thrown way off course. The tide comes in very early there. The bodies started floating in, like logs piled high. I had never seen a dead person before. I had never even been to a funeral."
Flaten and a few other survivors crossed the beach to a 15-foot wide stone road. On the side was a trench and a German concertino wire. By then American smoke covered the beach.
"An old captain—he was 28 or 29—told me to cross the road and blow a hole in the wire. '(Deleted) you.' I told him. 'You're not my officer.' The captain himself crossed the road and blew a hole in the wire.
"He had gone across, I thought. I'd be a helluva lot safer over there, so I crossed the road. We got a bunch of guys together, and we went up the hill past a German concrete pillbox."
On the top of the hill, the Americans sent a semaphore message to a ship off shore.
"We told them we were Americans and to stop the shelling. They sent a message back: 'Give yourselves up to the nearest Americans.'
"We weren't going to get any help there."
But the Germans came out of the pillbox and surrendered. The GIs tied their hands, and the Germans were sent to the beach.
It was June, and the "days and nights were all mixed up," Flaten recalled. "It was terrifying. You could hear the Germans eating and talking in the next hedgerow.
"The country reminded me of western Dane County with apple blossoms and Holstein cattle. The cows were bloated in the field and left to decay," he said.
Flaten said if a GI stepped on an apple, it would sound like a Bouncing Betty—a German mine that would pop up and spray steel shreds.
"Every time anyone stepped on an apple, everyone dropped to the ground. It got worse every day. Little by little, we turned into animals burrowing into the ground."
In 10 days, Flaten was a squad leader. He quickly became a platoon sergeant.
"You went up fast—if you survived."
He sadly recalls ordering an older GI to serve as a forward observer. He said the soldier wouldn't go.
"He said he had a child. I told him to get going." After a long pause, Flaten continued. "He was killed that night. War made us animals."
Flaten was wounded several times, hospitalized three times and received a Silver Star. In 1994 he was asked if he would go back to France to mark the 50th anniversary of D-Day.
"Reunion? I don't remember anyone. We had so many casualties. We weren't fighting for freedom. We were fighting for survival."
Time has thinned the ranks of D-Day survivors, but their struggles and heroism continue to be remembered.
Flaten died March 11, 2013, at age 87.

Your Views: Case involving Hobby Lobby could create slippery slope
I'm retired, and I liked my boss, but I sure wouldn't want her with me at the doctor's office. And I don't want to have to think about her opinion every time I open my medicine cabinet or take a prescription.
But that's just what could happen under an upcoming Supreme Court case about whether for-profit businesses can deny their employees access to contraceptive coverage. This effort is led by Hobby Lobby, a for-profit arts and crafts chain. If the Supreme Court rules in Hobby Lobby's favor, it could open a slippery slope where bosses could deny more than your vacation request; they could deny your contraception or other health care they disapprove of.
Virtually all American women use birth control at some point in their lives. It helps them pursue careers, complete their education, manage their health, and plan their families. I know Hobby Lobby is a Christian business and that people have the right to their own beliefs, but I say "keep your theology off my biology"!

Canada will make it easier for foreigners to work in their country and bring needed business-tech skills to the growing economy.
Under a new system which will start next year, people who want to immigrate into Canada will make an online profile on a website. "Based on this profile and the education of those who apply, we will rank them," Chris Alexander, Canada's minister for Immigration and Citizenship, told Business Today. "After this we will invite these professionals. Once they complete their applications, we will process their papers within six months."
The new program comes in Canada as the United States makes it harder for someone to get an H-1B visa. H-1B visas let U.S. employers hire temporary foreign workers in select fields. The H-1B visa program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability.
On the other hand, Canada will make it easier for certain immigrants to come into the nation, especially when there is a need for employees with specific professional backgrounds. For instance, Canada has begun recruiting tech professionals from Silicon Valley.
"The decision of the American government to limit the number of visas under H-1B visa is certainly helping us to attract talent, and is also assisting the government in attracting new investments," Alexander said.
EB visas: Qualifying for permanent residence in employment-based preference categories
From there to here: How to make it happen with an L-1 visa
Applying for H-1B petitions: The clock is ticking
As of now, there are about 22,000 Indian students and workers in Canada with temporary status. But they can get permanent status under the new immigration program.
In addition, Canadian employers will be able to review profiles about possible employees from foreign nations, and the process will become quicker, as well.
Among the Canadian cities with the most opportunities for tech specialists are Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto and Alberta. The professions most in demand are scientists, engineers, tech specialists and those with management and math backgrounds.
Last year, it was reported how Jason Kenney, Canadian Immigration Minister, met with business innovators in the United States, as well as students at Stanford University to encourage more immigration into Canada.
Canada has something called an Entrepreneur Start-Up Visa, too, which gives permanent residency for entrepreneurs.
The response has been positive. "Entrepreneurs around the world are excited to hear that Canada has made special provisions for them," David Cohen, an immigration attorney told CIC News. "I expect this excitement will only build as more and more people hear about this unique opportunity."
In addition, Canada has in place the Temporary Foreign Worker Program, which recently has been restructured.
"The TFWP helps thousands of workers come to Canada to fill jobs in a variety of sectors," CIC News reported. "With the implementation of these new changes, the government is working to ensure that the TFWP is flexible enough to respond to the country's labour needs while ensuring that the rights of both Canadians and foreign workers are sufficiently protected."

Your Views: Walker's leadership moving state forward
Gov. Walker's pro-growth agenda continues to move Wisconsin in the right direction. During the last six months, Wisconsin's economy saw its strongest job growth since 1997. Wisconsin's unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since 2008, at 6.3 percent, after 40,000 new jobs were added in 2013.
Walker's 2013-2015 budget includes nearly $1 billion in tax relief, including $100 million in property tax relief. This is the third year in which property taxes have decreased, compared to a 27 percent increase in the decade before 2011.
Walker invests $380 million in new state funds aimed to enhance public education throughout Wisconsin, including a $300 per-student increase in state aid. Walker opened the Parental Choice Program to all school districts, allowing more families at or below 185 percent of the federal poverty level to choose the schools that are best for their children.
Walker signed into law a two-year tuition cap for the UW System and the first public program in the nation that will help the 25 percent of Wisconsinites who have earned college credit, but not degrees, to get access to affordable and flexible courses that can improve their skills.
Walker invested $100 million in workforce development initiatives intended to provide workers the skills necessary to gain employment in the modern economy.
For the first time, every Wisconsinite living in poverty will be covered under Medicaid, shoring up the safety net for the vulnerable.
Walker's leadership helps Wisconsin.

Long-awaited win brings confidence back to Green Bay
GREEN BAY—The last time snow and the Atlanta Falcons simultaneously appeared at Lambeau Field, disastrous results befell the home team in the playoff loss that ended the 2002 season.
This time, with bitter cold and flurries again sweeping the tundra, the Packers might have made a postseason team of themselves.
For once in the post-Aaron Rodgers epoch, the defense made stops—two massive ones, as a matter of fact, by Jarrett Bush—when they needed them. And the offense finally made plays when they needed them with a quarterback not wearing No. 12.
The sum total of the 22-21 victory on Sunday against the Falcons should give the Packers enough confidence and momentum to overtake the backpedaling Detroit Lions in the last three regular-season games, especially if Rodgers comes back.
That's what the first successful experience since Oct. 27 should do for a team that was never as bad as its 0-4-1 record suggested without Rodgers.
"I forget what it felt like (to win)," coach Mike McCarthy said.
The swagger is back.
"I like our opportunity in Dallas," McCarthy said. "It's great the Lions lost and we're happy about that, but we're all about the Cowboys."
There is also the matter of the Chicago-Dallas game Monday night before the Packers venture into the Abomination of Arlington.
"We hope they beat the heck out of each other," McCarthy said.
Matt Flynn, a backup finally worthy of Rodgers' shadow with timely throws against the Falcons, is feeling it, too.
"We know we're a good team," Flynn said. "We know we can play with anyone in the NFL. Hopefully this gives us momentum moving forward. … I know (Rodgers) is itching to get back at it. He gives us the best chance to make this run."
It was, as McCarthy said, a character win.
Just think about all the Packers had to overcome.
First, the weather. "Packers weather" is a complete myth. The Packers don't practice on Lambeau's winter-hardened turf. It's 70 degrees in the Hutson Center, just as it would be indoors or out for a Southern team. Both the Packers and the Falcons coped well with the elements, all things considered.
Second, the breaks. Instead of kneeling with the ball near the end of the first half, McCarthy chose to throw with a 14-10 deficit. What happened next was one of those YouTube specials you could not recreate with a million tries. The ball bounced off a Falcons defender's foot and into the arms of a teammate. While most everyone in the stadium assumed incompletion, Sean Weatherspoon was loping 71 yards the other way.
It was almost like the Franco Harris thing, except on defense and without the drama.
Which led to the third thing, being booed at home. I don't blame the 77,500 who were predisposed to be grumpy with the weather and the fact that the Packers' season looked pretty much over. McCarthy made it a point in a locker room that, by most accounts, was reasonably upbeat despite the bizarre turn that gave the Falcons halftime momentum.
"I liked this football team at halftime," McCarthy said. "They were getting booed at home. But they never flinched and stayed the course. It was a character win and we needed it."
After giving up 21 points in the second quarter, 14 of which were by turnover, the defense that has stopped virtually no one since Rodgers went down did not allow the Falcons to score again. And Flynn wasn't in there to replicate Rodgers, only to be efficient enough (24 of 32) to move the chains and keep the ball away from Matt Ryan.
"It felt good to be able to move the ball and complete some passes, have some success in the passing game and get the victory," Flynn said. "Personally, it helps confidence in myself and hopefully confidence in the team around me.
"This was a complete team win. You saw all the smiles coming off the field in the locker room, and I think that's what we're most excited about. When we had to have a stop, we got a stop. When we had to have a score, we got the score."
The Bears, and most likely the Lions, have blown the opportunity while Rodgers was away. If he returns, the Packers will have a second chance to unleash the potential that returned Sunday for the playoffs.

Sen. John McCain went on record Sunday saying "stand your ground" laws need review.
The Arizona Republican said on CNN's "State of the Union" he trusts the jury's judgement in acquitting George Zimmerman in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, but that the "stand your ground" laws on the books in a number of states — including his own — should be looked at.
"I am confident that the members of the Arizona legislature will [review], because it's very controversial legislation," McCain said.

Theories - Origin of Life
Discussion of everything related to the Theory of Evolution.
Moderator: BioTeam
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Sorry for the delay.
I didn't know about Lysenkoism., so I had to do a little research.
I get your point though.
If only serious minded people would put their religious beliefs aside when discussing science matters there would be a lot less angst around. When I use the term religious beliefs, I include the materialists who after all claim to be atheists.
In the past the Churches ruled the roost and demanded allegiance to their dogmas.
That has now been taken over by the material atheists who demand the same allegiance, with the creationists and Id people trying to reclaim their lost ground.
Darwinism has now become the new dogma and any other view is crackpot and deserves only ridicule.
Although that is now changing again.
Funny old world
you're wrong again. Darwinism is overcome for some time. Since that time there has been several other theories so you're actually fighting a dead man (and this is meant imaginary, not Darwin)
Cis or trans? That's what matters.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
One of the great difficulties I have had, was in trying to get any of my detractors to explain what their understanding of evolutionary theory was.
I finally decided to explain my understanding and then at last canalon posted his agreement with it, albeit with some additions.
I didn't notice you offering any other view, so your latest statement lacks any weight.
I thought we had gone past this obfuscation.

You know very well what I mean by Darwinism so please stop trying to play word games.
Darwin's theory - "On the origin of species by natural selection." Vulgar evolutionism - a hybrid between Darwin's theory and the idea of the origin and evolution of life from primary primitive replicators to "crown of the evolutionary creation" - Homo Sapiens-sapiens-sa-...xn...-ns... Meanwhile, Darwin's theory does not contradict the theory of devolution! Quite the contrary - a perfect match. But only at those stages when there is no intellectual activity and create and develop technology.
Here's an interesting example of devolution - the distribution of gene technology between the new species, outgoing from the initial species of the universal type.
"In all vertebrates, some insects and mollusks in the blood protein is present ferric iron, but because their blood has a red color. Blood clam brachiopods contains hemerythrin - it contains iron to five times more than the hemoglobin. Oxygenated blood hemerythrin gives a purple hue, and gave oxygen to tissues, such blood turns pink. In polychaetes - the other iron-containing protein - hlorokruorin. The basis of it is not ferric iron, ferrous and which gives the blood and tissue fluid green. In ascidian blood is colorless, it is based - gemovanady containing vanadium ions. In octopus, spiders, scorpions, crabs, respiratory pigment of the blood is hemocyanin, in which iron is present instead of copper (Cu2 +). Combines with oxygen of air is blue hemocyanin, and by giving oxygen to tissues - a few discolored. As a result, the arteries flowing dark-blue blood and the veins blue. However, some shellfish oxygen transport of substances close to the hemoglobin, and other similar proteins contain manganese." http://otvet.mail.ru/question/16010365/
That's because, as interesting! Some evolutionists, created a series of painful anthropocentrism taboo. For example, some evolutionists reject even the thought of which created a strong di-polivergence of species of amphibians-Turbellarians in the Cambrian paleo-civilization, who had blood all at once these blood pigments!
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Lets get back to basics.
The cell is the basic unit of life.
No one has disputed that simple fact.
All the internal molecular systems inside the cell are, in themselves, inert.
Again no one has disputed that.
The simplest form of life is a single cell prokaryote,..
Again no one disputes that.
E coli is a single cell prokaryote and is classed as a species of bacteria.
Again I don't expect any one to dispute this either.
It is obvious therefore that the basic unit of life is also the basic unit of a species
Therefore the origin of life and the origin of species are one and the same thing.
Proteins are probably the most important class of biochemical molecules, although of course lipids and carbohydrates are also essential for life. Proteins are the basis for the major structural components of animal and human tissue.
A Ribosome is a molecule consisting of two subunits that read the genetic sequence and makes Proteins.
A prokaryotic ribosome is made up of three kinds of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and about 50 types of protein.
The eukaryotic ribosome, however, consists of five types of rRNA and around 80 types of protein.
The cell membrane or plasma membrane is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment. The cell membrane is selectively permeable to ions and organic molecules and controls the movement of substances in and out of cells. It basically protects the cell from outside forces.
Integral membrane proteins penetrate or are embedded in the phospholipid bilayer.
Without the membrane to protect it the cell would disintegrate.
This is all pretty basic biology that even an engineer can comprehend.
Now here is the dilemma for any origin of life biologist.
The Ribosome manufactures the protein, but it itself is made up of at least 50 proteins.
Ribosome cannot exist unless there are Proteins around.
Proteins cannot exist unless there are Ribosomes around.
The cell membrane cannot exist unless there are proteins about.
Ribosomes and Proteins cannot exist unless the is a membrane around.
This is one of the many conundrums the cell exhibits.
Neo Darwinian theory centers on Natural Selection as being the process that drives the evolution of living organisms.
It is obvious the proteins along with the other cell components are inert and therefore cannot be subject to any process of natural selection. The only laws applicable to any inert molecules are the natural laws governing physics and chemistry.
As I have reported before, there are no plausible natural biochemical pathways that lead to the formation of a cell. This is coming from the most august of scientific Institutions.
There is also the matter of the origin of the genetic code which again is being shown to be, not a natural process.
Therefore the only plausible pathway to cell formation is an artificial process. This is a process that is regularly demonstrated in Genetic Labs around the world.
However the difficulty goes beyond that.
Even if we assume that somehow the cell can or was constructed there is still the problem of how the cell can come alive.
This can be said for two reasons.
1) Viruses are very complicated molecules made up of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates etc. Yet they are not considered alive because, without cells they are unable to multiply. There are other reasons as well. Now if these very complicated molecules made from basically the same ingredients as cells, do not constitute life, it shows that that life is something more than the bringing together of these very complicated molecules.
2) We already know that life comes only from another life. This is an established biological fact.
These conclusions are based on science, logc and evidence.
What prevents any biologist from acknowledging these conclusions other than a philosophical bias?
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
I think you just disproved the existence of the cell.
Scottie, hrotects the cell cell envelope. Membrane does not protect, but a universal substrate for placement and activation of polypeptide production lines and signaling. This is in terms of technology. But the logic of the theory of "Engineering design and the Macrodevolution" of the membrane - a direct descendant of those smart membrane beings who once created a nucleic polypeptide molecular nano-technology.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Correction -- What I have shown is that there is no natural explanation to the origin of the cell.
Maybe you need to do some more work in your understanding of language.
Certainly your understanding of biology is at best, a "work in progress".
I understand your need to avoid the issue so all you can be left with, is your rather particular form humour.
However please carry on, at least you are providing some entertainment, if nothing else.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Let get some more basics up front.
Two among the most prominent evolutionary proponents of evolutionary theory today are Richard Dawkins and Freeman Dyson.
Here are some extracts from an email exchange between these two scientists.
Freeman Dyson view.
Dawkins response by email is here.
You will find this exchange from the recent discussion "Life what a concept" at the Edge Special Event.
You will need to scroll down almost to the bottom of the page.
So whose is right?
Is it Dyson, whose understanding of Darwinian evolution is based on Competition between non interbreeding species
Or is it Dawkins view based on competition for survival within species.
What does this say about any factual basis for the theory?
Is it any wonder that no one on this forum was confident enough to explain their view. I eventually had to spell out one view to even elicit a response.
It says nothing other than merely reaffirming my statement that this is all about philosophy.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
Very funny, scottie.
You are arguing that the cell cannot function since the ribosome is part protein, and the ribosome is responsible for peptide synthesis; therefore, according to you, the protein cannot be part of the ribosome. Yet, obviously this is not true. Because the ribosome seems to be ubiquitous in almost all organisms, the ribosome must have originated very early in the history of life. Ribosome evolution began with a complex of nucleic acids that probably had another function early on, but acquired the function of protein synthesis. Only later were proteins incorporated into the ribosome.
I would have been a creationist if my biology knowledge was as limited as you claim. All I am going to say is that your knowledge of evolution would have been a lot more complete had you consulted a biology textbook sometime in the past. If you want to know more about the origin of cells, please consult external sources on abiogenesis before posting a reply. The most important experiments are Fox's experiments with protobionts, and Wachtershauser's hypothesis. The Wikipedia article for abiogenesis should be a great help.
Please take the time to understand the responses that others are posting before you attempt to attack the response and try to "further" your argument.
Re: Theories - Origin of Life
I'm not willing to slog through 23 pages to try to figure out what's going on here. Reading through a few random pages, though, I can't see what most of this has to do with the origin of life. All I can discern is the standard, tiresome creationist/rationalist crap sprinkled with a dash of delusion. Is there a point to any of this, or do all of you just have too much time to waste? May I suggest that individual discussions have their own threads? This one just seems to be a dump for anything anyone wants to say.
Scottie: can you state your position in 25 words or less (concerning the origin of life)? If you have something else in particular you would like to discuss, could you please start a new thread?
Leopol: What's the weather like on your planet? Photos would be welcome.
The origin of life is, of course, a very interesting topic, one that has entertained me for a very long time. I know I will die without ever knowing how it occurred, but that has never detracted from the enjoyment of my ignorance. Ignorance is what science feeds on. Anyone who says "I know" or dares to use the p word (proof) is automatically disqualified.

Rally for immigration reform held at Riverside Park
JANESVILLE—Jenny Rodriguez believes that immigration reform gave her a future.
Now, she hopes that comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship will be enacted, giving other people similar opportunities.
On Sunday, about 75 people gathered at Riverside Park in Janesville to rally for immigration reform.� The event was organized by Voces de la Frontera, a Milwaukee-based labor and social justice organization.
For Rodriguez, immigration reform came in the form of "Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals," or DACA, as it is more commonly known.� "Deferred Action" was an executive order that allowed some children of illegal immigrants to pursue employment in the United States. It is not a path to citizenship.
"I couldn't drive, I couldn't get a job, I had no future," Rodriguez said.
Now she's studying to become a certified nursing assistant at Blackhawk Technical College.
Rodriguez spoke passionately about giving other illegal immigrants a similar chance for the future with comprehensive immigration reform that includes a path to citizenship.
Sunday's event included speeches from local politicians including Sen. Tim Cullen, D-Janesville; Rep. Deb Kolste, D-Janesville and Rep. Andy Jorgensen.
All of them stressed the contributions, both economic and cultural, of immigrants groups.
"Unless there are some Native Americans, we're all immigrants here," Cullen told the crowd.
Opponents to immigration reform say providing a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants would amount to awarding them for disobeying the law. In addition, opponents argue that the border should be secured before any reforms are enacted.
Sunday's event was part of a series of rallies being held in cities throughout the state to encourage Congress to take action on immigration reform after returning from its summer recess.

Sealants are thin, plastic coatings painted on the chewing surfaces of the back teeth. By covering the chewing surfaces of the molars, sealants keep out the germs and food that cause decay. They can be put on in dentists' offices, clinics, and sometimes in schools.
Sealants are painted on as a liquid and quickly harden to form a shield over the tooth. The process is simple and painless. They are clear or tinted. Tinted sealants are easier to see.
Who Should Get Sealants?
Children should get sealants on their permanent molars as soon as the teeth come in, before decay sets in. The first permanent molars come in between ages 5-7. The second permanent molars (12-year molars) come in between ages 11-14. Other teeth with pits and grooves—called premolars or bicuspids—which are located right in front of the molars, can also be sealed. Teenagers and adults without decay or fillings in their molars can also benefit from sealants.
Your dentist might also advise having your child's baby teeth sealed, especially if they have deep pits and grooves. Baby teeth play an important role in holding the correct spacing for permanent teeth, making it even more important to keep these teeth healthy so they do not fall out early.
How Is It Done?
The tooth is cleaned and dried, and cotton or other material is used to keep the tooth dry. An acidic solution is put on the tooth to roughen the surface so the sealant can stick. The tooth is then rinsed and dried. The sealant hardens in a few seconds after a liquid application or exposure to a special light. If a small cavity is accidentally covered by a sealant, decay won't spread because it is sealed off from food and germs.
Are Sealants Worth the Price?
Sealants can last up to 10 years, but they need to be checked at regular dental check-ups to make sure they are not chipped or worn away. More sealant material can be added to repair chips or worn sealants.
Having sealants put on healthy teeth now will save you money in the long run by avoiding fillings, crowns, or caps used to fix decayed teeth. The most important reason for getting sealants is to avoid tooth decay. Healthy teeth can last a lifetime. Maintaining healthy teeth is now believed to be an important part of maintaining good general health. Many insurance companies pay for sealants. Check with your company for details.
What Are Other Ways to Prevent Tooth Decay?
- Clean between teeth daily with floss or interdental cleaners.
- Use a manual or electric toothbrush. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
- Eat a balanced diet.
- Drink fluoridated water.
- See a dentist regularly. Ask about sealants.

Weekend Box Office Report: 'Despicable Me 2′ Triumphs over 'Grown Ups 2′ and 'Pacific Rim'
What's more powerful than a bunch of giant robots and giant monsters? What's more powerful than Adam Sandler and all his buddies? This weekend gave us a definitive answer: a lovable supervillain voiced by Steve Carell. 'Despicable Me 2' triumphed at the box office for the second week in a row, beating out newcomers like 'Grown Ups 2' and 'Pacific Rim' and making it look easy.
|Per Screen
|Despicable Me 2
|$44,754,000 (-46.4)
|Grown Ups 2
|Pacific Rim
|The Heat
|$14,000,000 (-43.5)
|The Lone Ranger
|$11,140,000 (-61.9)
|Monsters University
|$10,621,000 (-46.1)
|World War Z
|$9,430,000 (-48.8)
|White House Down
|$6,150,000 (-54.4)
|Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain
|$5,000,000 (-50.2)
|Man of Steel
|$4,825,000 (-57.7)
After its massive opening weekend, everyone expected 'Despicable Me 2′ to take a big drop and settle into second or third place. Well, we were right about one part of that. The animated movie did take a big drop, but it wasn't big enough for all of the fresh competition to take over. With another $44 million in the bank and a current total of $229 million, the film is already one of the year's biggest hits. Expect this one to close out with $300 million at the very least, and 'Despicable Me 3′ to get fast-tracked.
Of the newcomers, Adam Sandler's 'Grown Ups 2′ fared the best, taking in $42 million. Despite the fact that people of taste generally find his films obnoxious, Sandler has his fans and they turned out in force. The movie will have to have legs if it wants to match the gross of its predecessor, but we imagine that it'll fare well in the weeks ahead.
In third place, Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' opened to a disappointing $38 million, a low gross for a big budget studio release with all kinds of mainstream appeal. Although generally well-liked by film fans, the movie's "Giant Robots vs. Giant Monsters" premise didn't seem to catch on with mainstream audiences (especially since it was sold as a 'Transformers' knock-off instead of the goofy family movie that it is). Something could always turn it around — international grosses, small percentage drops, etc. — but it definitely looks like all of that sequel talk was very premature.
Meanwhile, 'The Heat' continued to triumph in fourth place, taking in another $14 million for a $112 million total. This is the second Melissa McCarthy comedy to cross the $100 million mark this year and the second smash hit for director Paul Feig. If you want an example of two people who are currently powerful enough to do whatever the heck they want in Hollywood for the next few years, look no further.
In fifth place, 'The Lone Ranger' continued trudging forward, grossing $11 million for a $71 million total. Considering the rumored $250 million budget, this is not good. At all. This is 'John Carter' bad. However, Disney shouldn't be too upset. Right below Johnny Depp's failed western is 'Monsters University,' which made $10 million over the weekend and has $237 million total. That can't erase the pain of 'The Lone Ranger,' but it certainly dulls it.
In seventh place, 'World War Z' is staring at the $200 million mark and muttering "I think I can." With a current gross of $177 million, it has to hang on for a few more weeks to reach that particular milestone. Can it? Will it? We guess no, but we've been wrong before. Expect it to top out around the mid-$190 millions.
In the final stretch, 'White House Down' continued to massively underperform, 'Kevin Hart: Let Me Explain' took the expected drop and 'Man of Steel,' while successful, is starting to realize that $300 million is just out of reach.
Next week sees the release of 'R.I.P.D.,' 'Red 2' and 'The Conjuring.' That should be an interesting battle.

Area districts consider closing for the cold
Area school district officials Friday were weighing the merits of canceling classes Monday, when dangerously cold weather was forecast to descend on Wisconsin.
The Milwaukee and Madison school districts announced Friday they were canceling Monday classes. Gov. Scott Walker considered a blanket order for all the state's schools to be closed Monday, but he ultimately backed off, indicating those decisions should be made locally, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.
"Governor Walker will continue to monitor conditions day-by-day as it relates to the operation of state government," said Walker spokesman Tom Evenson. "Local governments and school districts are encouraged to make individual determinations regarding school and government closures."
The Gazette contacted area school districts and asked about their plans for Monday.
The Janesville School District said only that the superintendent would decide whether to cancel school or delay it by one hour.
The district suggested that families wait for notification via the AlertNow phone-alert system or check local news media to find out what the decision is. Closing and delay information will be posted no later than 6 a.m. Monday, the district said in a news release.
"Parents always have the option of keeping their child home due to inclement weather. Your child will receive a principal excused absence. Guardians must call the school the child attends to report the decision to keep them home," the release states.
Milton schools Superintendent Tim Schigur said Friday the district had not yet called off school next week, but he there was a "very good chance" the district will at least start an hour or two late Monday and Tuesday.
He said area district administrators have seemed to agree they're leery of calling off school too far in advance in case the forecast changes from extreme cold to—well, cold, but not brutally cold.
"If it's a 'balmy' zero and you've called things too far in advance, you can't re-track," Schigur said.
The biggest concern, Schigur said, is the safety of students while they're getting to and from school in the extreme cold.
"You have your walkers and the kids who are waiting for the bus," Schigur said. "Right now you see some of them wearing shorts to school, or not wearing gloves. You don't call school because of somebody wearing shorts, but how do you know the kids are going to come to school prepared?"
Even those who are on a bus for the bulk of their school commute could have to contend with the extreme cold.
"You've got to look at the capabilities for keeping a school bus warm. In the back of the bus is there really enough heat? How do you ensure those kids are warm?" Schigur said.
Edgerton schools Superintendent Dennis Pauli said the district was waiting until Sunday to decide whether to have school Monday. He said the district's trigger for calling off school would be if the school district falls under a wind chill warning throughout the school day Monday or Tuesday.
In Wisconsin, the National Weather Service issues a wind chill warning when the wind chill reaches minus 35 degrees for at least three hours.
Forecasts on Friday were for a wind chill warning to be in effect in parts of southern Wisconsin from 6 p.m. Sunday through noon Tuesday. The National Weather Service forecasted wind chills as low as minus 50 degrees overnight Monday.
Delevan-Darien Superintendent Bob Crist said he was waiting to see what the weather actually brings.
"It depends of if the meteorologists are totally correct," Crist said. "Obviously, if it's 40 below with wind chill, I would call off school."
Crist said he would wait until Sunday or, at the very latest, 5 a.m. Monday, to make a decision about closing school.
Although most students come from either Delavan or Darien, the district also includes seven rural towns.
Notifications will be sent out to parents via e-mail and phone on the district's alert system. There will also be postings on social media and the district's website, ddschools.org.
Whitewater United School District Superintendent Eric Runez said a decision to cancel school because of the cold would be made Sunday.
Runez said he and other superintendents in the county have been talking about if and when to close.
"When things start getting to be 30 below or colder, school districts are having conversations about whether it's safe for students to be walking to school," Runez said.
Parents will be notified by 6:30 a.m. Monday by e-mail and phone through the district's alert system. It will also be posted on the district's website, wwusd.org.
Sharon Community School District Administrator Lillian Henderson said she would make a decision Sunday about the cold.
Parents will be notified through the school's alert system. E-mails and phone messages will be sent out if a decision is made to cancel school.
"We have a lot of walkers, and I worry about them," Henderson said.
The district runs its own bus service, and on cold days the buses wait at the end of driveways for kids so they don't have to stand in the cold.
In addition, the buses often make a second trip around the village to pick up any students who are walking to school.
"If it's in the ballpark of what they're saying, it's kind of a no-brainer," Albany Superintendent Steve Guenther said about canceling school.
He'll most likely make the decision Sunday night. At the forecasted temps, all it takes is one kid who walks to school or waits for a bus too long to get frostbitten, he said.
"If it's going to be as cold as they say it's going to be, we will close schools," Beloit School District spokeswoman Melissa Badger said.
The district's guideline is to cancel school when the wind chill hits minus 35. The district has a lot of younger kids who walk to school or wait for buses.
"We want to make sure we keep all of them safe," she said.
Beloit Turner Superintendent Dennis McCarthy usually considers canceling school when there's a sustained wind chill of minus 25 to minus 30, he said.
If that's an absolute as of Sunday night, he said he might cancel Monday's classes then.
All of the district's resident students have the option of being bused, while most of the nonresident students get rides to school, he said. Many kids choose to walk anyway, so the district sent an email to parents Thursday explaining the forecast and saying they might want to consider not having kids walk to school regardless of how close they live, he said.
Brodhead Superintendent Leonard Lueck said in a phone message his district is similar to most other area districts in canceling school if the temperature hits minus 25 or the wind chill hits minus 35.
Evansville Superintendent Jerry Roth said he will be in touch with at least a dozen area superintendents over the weekend, and depending on the forecast, he could make the call on canceling school Sunday night or Monday morning.
He typically will cancel if the temperature hits minus 25 or the wind chill hits minus 35. His concern is for students who walk to school or wait outdoors for buses, along with making sure buses can start and run in the subzero weather.
School is generally canceled when the temperature or wind chill hits 35 below zero to 40 below zero, Superintendent Steve Lutzke said. If the forecast holds true, he said, he likely would cancel school Sunday night.
"That doesn't sound like anything we want to be out in," he said.
His bus company told him the buses probably would start, but it's hard for the bus cabin to heat up to a comfortable temperature. About 60 percent of students ride buses to school, he said.
"You don't want to be seeing your breath on the bus either," he said.
Clinton District Administrator Randy Refsland said he already had a message set up for the district's automatic calling system canceling school on Monday.
"All I have to do is hit send," Refsland said.
He'll wait until Sunday to make a decision.

Plan would let permit holders take guns to schools
MADISON, Wis. — Anyone with a concealed weapons permit could carry a gun onto school grounds in Wisconsin under a proposal being put to a vote Thursday by the Republican chairman of the Assembly Criminal Justice Committee.�
The proposed amendment would dramatically broaden the scope of a bill that would allow off-duty, out-of-state and retired police officers to bring concealed weapons into any private building, including schools, where concealed weapons are not permitted.�
Allowing any of the roughly 203,000 people who have a concealed weapon permit to bring a gun to school doesn't have enough votes in the Republican-controlled committee to pass, said its sponsor, Rep. Joel Kleefisch, R-Oconomowoc. The goal, he said, was to start a discussion about school safety.�
"I'm not sure the citizens of Wisconsin want concealed weapons holders on school grounds," Kleefisch said Wednesday. "But it's going to get a vote, up or down."
Forcing a vote on the idea is a high-stakes way to start a discussion, said Democratic Rep. Evan Goyke, a member of the committee that will consider the amendment.�
"We've got to defeat it. It's a terrible amendment," Goyke said. "It is very dangerous and unnecessary. My biggest problem is: How can a school know who is armed and who is unarmed and who is allowed to be armed and who is not allowed to be armed?"
The goal is to make schools safer, Kleefisch said. Schools need armed people who can fight back if there is an attack, he said.
But Goyke said that argument doesn't make sense.�
"Good guys and good-intentioned people may sometimes act inconsistent with their intentions," he said.�
The amendment allowing anyone to carry concealed weapons was introduced on Oct. 15, five days after the public hearing on the more limited bill. Kleefisch said he decided to introduce it as an amendment and not a separate bill based on the discussion at the hearing, not for any strategic reason.�
The nine-member committee consists of six Republicans and three Democrats. The amendment would have to get at least five votes to be added to the bill, which would then have to clear the committee as well as both the Assembly and Senate before it would go to Republican Gov. Scott Walker for his consideration.�
A spokeswoman for Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos did not immediately return a message seeking comment on whether he supports the bill. A spokesman for Walker also did not immediately return a message.�
A number of organizations have registered in opposition to the idea in the two weeks since Kleefisch introduced it. That includes the city of Milwaukee and groups representing school boards, school business officials and district administrators.�
Other groups, including six representing law enforcement officers around the state and the Wisconsin Department of Justice, support the original bill allowing officers to carry them on school grounds. The Department of Justice, which processes applications for concealed weapons permits, has not taken a position on Kleefisch's amendment.�
The department does not know how many of the 203,000 concealed carry permits have gone to current or retired law enforcement officers.

Why let Halloween be wasted on the youth? Today the holiday is just as much for the adults as it is for the children. But what to wear?
Witches, ghosts and vampires are fine go-to costumes, but what if you want to stand out from the crowd with a great Halloween costume on a budget? The key is to get creative.
Spooky San Diego Halloween Guide: http://bit.ly/19QMphL
If you're into pop culture, scanning the Internet for favorite TV and movie characters, musicians and other icons is a good first step. In fact, for costume ideas in just about any genre, the World Wide Web is a gold mine for brainstorming do-it-yourself costumes, whether you're going for spooky or kooky.
Then, you can make a list and stop at thrift shops and discount retailers (or borrow stuff from friends and family) to complete your home-made costume.
But before you head off searching for some inspiration, we've got five fun, original ideas that will help you stand out this Halloween ...
No. 5: Colonel
Sanders/Wendy's Mascot
What's more American than baseball and apple pie? How about fast food and advertising icons?
Colonel Sanders and the Wendy's mascot may not have quite the recognition of Ronald McDonald or the Burger King, but you're less likely to run into your doppelganger with the second-rung mascots.
For the KFC mascot, buy a Santa Claus wig, trim it very short, find some black-rimmed eyeglasses at a dollar store, and wear a white shirt and a red apron borrowed from a family member. Then go to KFC and buy a bucket of chicken. Colonel Sanders -- and the chicken -- will prove to be a big hit every party you go to.
For a Wendy costume, all you need is a red-haired wig in braids, with little blue and white ribbons, a $5 blue and white dress from a thrift store and some cheap black Mary Jane shoes. Be sure to carry a Wendy's fast food bag for the full effect.
No. 4: Cousin It/Wednesday Addams
Want a costume that shields your face (and everything else)? Go as Cousin Itt, the lovable hairball from "The Addams Family."
Although this may sound like a lot of work, it actually can be made on the cheap and with very little effort.
First, find a long blond or light brown wig, or some highly frayed yarn, and pin it securely to your hair. The main part of the costume now taken care of, just wear street clothes for the rest of your look and be sure to not forget the sunglasses and top hat.
Looking for a more feminine nod to the Addams clan? If you have long, dark hair, it's easy; just put your hair in braids. Otherwise buy some cheap black spray-on hair coloring or get a cheap wig. Wear a black dress and pin or sew white cuffs and collar onto the dress. Don some striped tights, and voila! You're Wednesday Addams.
No. 3: Orville Redenbacher
Orville Redenbacher's been dead for more than 15 years, yet the product bearing his name lives on. So does his iconic image.
That makes the popcorn king a perfect choice for a homemade costume. You want to be easily recognizable otherwise you'll spend all your time explaining who you're "supposed to be."
Lucky for you, Orville's image is just as easy and affordable to reproduce as it is iconic.
Like the Colonel, Orville has gray-white hair, so an inexpensive Santa or old-man wig, trimmed short, does the trick. Black-rimmed nerd glasses, red suspenders and a thrift store blazer and pants top off this look.
To take this costume over the top and be a true success at every Halloween party, pop some bags of microwave popcorn to share with other party-goers.
That's one Halloween look that really pops.
No. 2: Tippi Hedren from "The Birds"
Few directors go together with the thrills of Halloween quite like Alfred Hitchcock. So why not choose to honor The Master of Suspense when designing your homemade costume?
Sure, there's an actual costume available online to turn you into Tippi Hedren from Alfred Hitchcock's classic "The Birds," but you don't have to shell out the $50 or work for hours to get this look.
Go to a thrift shop or discount store and look for a greenish blazer and skirt and some cheap black pumps. Next, head to a craft/floral shop such as Michael's and ask if they have any fake bird props, or look online (Anytimecostumes.com, among other sites, sell fake black birds for as little as $2).
Once you've got the props, put on your most freaked-out face and hold up your hands as though you're being attacked.
Trust us, you'll be fending off compliments just like Tippi fought off her winged attackers.
No. 1: Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga has inspired concertgoers to dig out their inner freak, so why not try a Gaga look for Halloween? (If you're a man, this costume idea would be even more fun.)
The Lady herself might wear ridiculously expensive designer outfits, but you can transform yourself into the "Bad Romance" singer on a dime. For costume pieces, think "household goods" - plastic bubble wrap, large garbage bags, etc.
Cut funky shapes out of aluminum foil, glue them to your dress/bubble wrap/garbage bag-turned-dress, wear a blond wig (or spray-paint your hair yellow), and glue or stick some "bling" onto a pair of fabulous dollar-store sunglasses. Get some cheap glittery or metallic makeup from a discount store and let your imagination run wild.
For shoes, check out the thrift stores and look for wedge heels or tall ankle boots. Carry a fake microphone and, just like that, you've got yourself a costume that will turn heads.

Robert E. Rhodes, Janesville, WI
February 5, 2014
Robert E. Rhodes of Janesville, passed away at home on Wednesday, Feb. 5, 2014, surrounded by his loving family. He was 69 years old. Robert will be remembered best as a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, and friend. He married the love of his life, Dinah Tinder on Feb. 17, 1961, at the Church of the Nazarene in Rockton, IL. Together they had five wonderful children. Perhaps one of the greatest lessons he gave to his children was to "never leave without saying I love you."
Robert attended Hononegah High School in Rockton, and earned his GED from Blackhawk Tech in 1981. He was a dedicated employee at Taylor Freezer Company in Rockton, where he worked as a welder for thirty years.
Left to cherish his memory is his wife, Dinah; his children: Joanna Rhodes, Mike (Roberta) Rhodes, Mark (Pam) Rhodes, Jodi (Steven) Teubert and Robin Rhodes; nine grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; and a sister, Donna (Larry) Bressler. Preceding him in death were his parents; his brothers, Jack and John; and sister, Kathy.
There will be a visitation at Good News Christian Center, 2293 Prairie Avenue in Beloit, at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15, 2014. A memorial service celebrating Robert's life will follow at 11 a.m. with Pastor White officiating.
ROSMAN, UEHLING, KINZER FUNERAL HOME AND CREMATORY is privileged to serve the family. Please send online condolences to rukfuneralhome.com.

Unemployment rate in Janesville, other metro areas, increases
MADISON—The unemployment rate in the Janesville metro area increased in January, the Department of Workforce Development reported Wednesday.
Statewide, unemployment rates jumped in all 12 metro areas.
The department said the January rate for Rock County—also known as the Janesville Metropolitan Statistical Area—was 7.9 percent, higher than 6.9 percent reported in December but below the 9.3 percent tallied in January 2014.
Overall, the state unemployment rate in January was 6.7 percent, up from the rate posted in December and down from the 7.9 percent posted in January 2013, the department reported.
Of the 32 Wisconsin cities with at least 25,000 people, unemployment rates increased in all.
Analysts said the increases are not surprising, given the cold and stormy month that came on the heals of the Christmas hiring season.
Among counties, Rock County had the 27th-highest rate, while Dane County had the lowest at 4.3 percent.
Walworth County had a January unemployment rate of 7.2 percent, while Green and Jefferson counties had rates of 6.2 percent and 7.2 percent, respectively. December-January rates increased in all 72 Wisconsin counties.
Among individual cities, Janesville's rate of 8.2 percent in January was the eighth highest in the state.
With a January unemployment rate of 10.5 percent, Beloit had the second-highest rate among Wisconsin cities. It trailed only Racine and its January unemployment rate of 11.2 percent.
Local unemployment rates are not seasonally adjusted.

Biology is not a science
Debate and discussion of any biological questions not pertaining to a particular topic.
Moderator: BioTeam
Biology is not a science
The Australian philisopher colin leslie dean points out that biology is not a science
A science needs a system of classification through which it identifies the objects of its study
Without a system of classification a science cannot come into existence
Now biology is the "science of life" but
1) biology cannot tell us what life is It can tell us what life does but it cant tell us what it is that makes an organism alive ie the life force
this is what life does ie what an organism does that has life but it does not tell us what the life force is
all this is is a list of what an organism with life does but this list does not tell us what life is
to make it clearer some religions would say what makes us alive ie have life is our soul
take this definition from wiki
this is a blantaly circular definition all it says is life is a characteristic of things that are alive ie have life and as such totally meaningless
now even apart from not telling us what it is that gives life to an organism scientist cant even agree on their definition of life
with out being able to agree on what life does- let alone not being able to tell us what LIFE IS - the whole foundation of biology collapses
2) biologist classify living organisms by a heirarchy of taxonomies
ie species phylum
but again biologists cant tell us what species is or phylums are
http://gamahucherpress.yellowgum.com/bo ... ection.pdf
Thus it can be seen that biology is not a science as its classificatory systems cannot identify the objects of its science if it cannot identify the objects of its investigations it cannot be a science
all it is is a meaningless array of terms which dont identify anything
Well, if a philosopher says it, it must be true, because he defines a term his own way and it doesn't conform.
This is all the argument of a compulsive labeler someone who says, "Your area must meet my expectations." You obviously need very black-and-white terminology to trust a discipline, but the disciplines don't really care. Life does not conform to your wishes, and neither does the science associated with it.
And the magical thinking that goes into the idea that somehow there is a "life force" is pretty pitiful. It's not even anti-science, it's pure nonsense.
You really need at least some understanding of biology before you have any legitimacy to criticize it, and from the parroting of crackpot straight-from-ignorance concepts you do repeatedly, you're not even close.
Re: Biology is not a science
It's just like if you look at at a wall that has been painted. What color is it? Is it yellow or yellow-yellow green or is it a shade or a tint of yellow or yellow green. Perhaps it is a degree darker than true yellow, is it caused from black or is it in part a neutral of yellow and violet? Or is it yet another brown--another neutral from green and red?
The point is that if someone says it is yellow it is an estimation and it orients what we see with what we say--basic understanding of the world around us. I think you are splitting hairs on this issue.
Folks, it's foolish to try to reason with someone who cannot reason. Gamila, under different names, has been repeatedly banned from other forums for doing what he/she/it does here, where moderation is lax. If you don't feed it, it will go away.
i know that biology which studies life dose not know what life is
it does not even know what species or phylum are
it is not a science as its classifications system cant locate the objects under investigation
as such
biology ends in meaningless nonsense
ie this is nonsence meaningless babble because they dont know what species or phylum are
Re: Biology is not a science
Take it from someone who loves science but does not agree with the evolution thing. Your not going to persuade anyone by being inflammatory. Even if you have a completely valid point, you will not be received and you will appear to be a nut.
I do agree that biology can tell us what life does and can tell us how it works but that it can not tell us what the life force is. But your topic is "Biology is not science." Science is knowledge, based on observation, experimentation, and research so in that sense you are making an inflammatory, controversial statement. And you are wasting your time typing because no one is going to take you serious.
Maybe you could have titled it "What is life force?" Let people give their point of view and chill out. We are grown and have gray matter also.
you need a classificatory system so that you can find and locate the objects if investigation for your knowledge observation research
and biologies classificatory system of species phylum etc is meaningless nonsense as it cant even tell you what species phylum are
Let's recall that we gave attributes of life (growth, reproduction, etc.) and that these characteristics are difinite to say that an organism is living. Now,
It is us (humans) who also gave the definition isn't it? We are consious in our own and that makes us capable of distinguishing the objects with self-sustaining processes; It is us who identify if a thing is indeed living and so we come up to two categories: living things and non-living things. Animals can also do the same but they can't verbalize or make it in black and white.
In biology, it clearly defined the basis for having life: the chemical and cellular nature of all the living things. However, as what I see here is that, studying further life in micro level will still lead us to the chemical nature. That the complexity of life is explained by the properties and behavior of the different biochemicals that made us.
It seems hardly for the most of us to accept the researched facts that life was just explained by such particles. It is just a matter of where you would put yourself, you believe or not, or you accept it but you have other principles greater than it, and there would enter your philosophy and spirituality.
---Just one act of random kindness at a time and you can change the world---
you dont know what life is you think you know what life does but not what life is
your categories are meaningless nonsense ie phylum species as you dont know what phylum or species are
you cant even do that
you dont even know what life is
Okay, let's try going back to the basics and go to the old, philosophical ways.
To put it simply, everybody could give a definition for what life is. The definitions you mentioned earlier were just some of the few possibly generated by scientists or non-science people from whatever evidences they had or what made them witnesses of something.
Personally, life for me is a lot of mystery and this mystery is out of the boundary of what sicence could prove, whether it's a fact or theory. From one of the definitions you cited earlier,
There's no doubt that they challenged mystery. Fairly enough, their perseverance is remarkable, we have lots of something to think on but would it be worthy taking the time or trouble to think and make an argument for?
---Just one act of random kindness at a time and you can change the world---
We don't know exactly what an atom or a quark is either - does that mean physics and chemistry aren't science?
Nobody has witnessed firsthand the subsurface forces that account for all of our rocks except extrusive volcanics and sediments. Does this mean Geology is not a science?
Biology = study of life
If we knew the exact definition of life, would we need biology?
What did the parasitic Candiru fish say when it finally found a host? - - "Urethra!!"
