Using an Interop-Control from Visual C++ 6.0
What i want:
Recently I want to use my Interop-Control not only from Visual Basic 6.0 but also from Visual C++ 6.0.
What i do:
- creating an simple interop-control with a button on it.
- implementing the click event of the button (doesn't matter what it does and the reason for that button will clear up later)
- compiling it to generate the interop-dll
- opening my VC++6.0-IDE and create a new mfc-project
- rightclick on the (created) dialog and choose "Insert ActiveX Control"
- selecting the interop-dll
- (the control appears on the dialog)
- (now i want to add the control to the dialog as a member to call the control's methods)
- rightclick on the dialog and choose "MFC Class Wizard"
- changing to the tab "Member Variable", choose the control-id of the interop-control and click on "Add Variable"
The problem:
VC++ wants to create a member with the type 'object'. But i want to have the controls-type, so i can see/call the methodes of it!?!
Maybe it works, when I wrapper that interop-control with a VB6-control!?! Let try it:
- creating a ActiveX-project in VB6 with a usercontrol
- adding the interop-control the the vb6-project and insert it on the usercontrol
- implement wrapper-functions for the functions of the interop-control, so the VB6-control can forward the calls
- compiling the vb6-project to generate the ocx
- opening my VC++6.0-IDE and create a new mfc-project
- rightclick on the dialog and choose "Insert ActiveX Control"
- selecting the VB6-ocx
- (the control appears on the dialog)
- rightclick on the dialog and choose "MFC Class Wizard"
- changing to the tab "Member Variable", choose the control-id of the VB6-control and click on "Add Variable"
- YEHAAA... the member is typed and I can see/call all functions, which are forwarded through the VB6-control
The problem:
- run the project
- simply click on the button of the interop-control
- The application freezes and in the taskmanager the status of the test-application is set to "not responding"
What's strange:
The click-event itself is somehow the problem.
If I replace the click-event in the interop-control with an mousemove-event the application runs fine.
So, again: What i want:
I just want to use my Interop-Control from VC++6.0.
How can I do this, without this problems?
Thanks in advance,

First of all: thanks :)
Here is how i created the interop-control:
- creating a new project (VB6 Interop UserControl)
- drag a button on the Usercontrol and impelementing the Click-Event
- implementing a testfunction "Public Function HelloWorld() as Boolean"
- compiling with .net 4
- thats all. it's a virtual machine with winxp sp3
here you can download the project-files
I hope it will help you!
Big thank you,
Jobacca29 พฤศจิกายน 2554 16:56
Hi Jobacca,
I have tried your first solution(use mfc dialog application to host the interop directly) in vs2010, seems that the solution works well(the button's click event can fire successfully, pop up a message and without hang))
My steps is:
- Install vs2010,
- Install Microsoft InteropForms Toolkit 2.1
- Create the vb6 interop user control as you said
- Host the generated interop in mfc dialog application by "Insert ActiveX control"
- Add variable for the interop control as you said, note that a mfc wrapper class for the interop is generated automatically then.
I guess the reason you fail is you are using vc6 rather than vs2010. Unfortunately, I have no vc6 at hand to check. Maybe vs2010 is a way for you to continue your work.

Sorry! I stucked in other things the last time.
The existing application which was developed over many years should became to an hybrid-application. More and more parts should be managed. But the executable still has to be unmanaged. Thats, why we want to use .net-controls via interop.25 มกราคม 2555 14:16
You can still build unmanaged/native C++ apps from VS 2010. Have you tried upgrading your VC6 project to VS 2010?25 มกราคม 2555 18:36

CrossPost: (Updated) Obama - A GREAT speech, from a non-supporter
by fogiv, Tue Mar 18, 2008 at 01:51:15 PM EDT
I know, I know. DailyKos is bad, and all those crazy Obama supporters are rabid, nutty animals (sigh). I know many here at MyDD are boycotting or striking (bigger sigh). All the same, I saw a diary that some of you (albieit a minority) might be interested in.
One day soon, we'll all have to work together behind the democratic nominee. Let's hope the days gnashing teeth, and tearing out eachother's throats will soon come to and end.
With the explicit permission of the diarist, Miss Blue, I'm posting her diary below the fold, in its entirety. Read with an open mind.

David and Hannelore Julya (Krause) Franco celebrated their 50th anniversary with a party including 50 friends and family members.
David served in the Army, from 1959-60, stationed in Berlin, Germany. He worked at the Berlin Observer newspaper and also had two radio shows on the Armed Forces Radio Network. After taking an overseas discharge, he remained in Berlin, a city he fell in love with, and went into the nightclub business. Along with two partners, he successfully opened and operated five night spots throughout the city. When Hannelore, who goes by the name Julya, walked into one of his clubs with friends, he was smitten. It was "love at first sight," and he decided that he wanted her to be his wife if she would have him. They have been together ever since their first meeting. On their first date, they danced the night away at a Berlin club named the Black Bottom. They dated for a year before getting married on Sept. 25, 1953, at St. Elizabeth's Church in Berlin. After their marriage, Julya helped with the business and David credits her charm, wit and beauty for doubling the income.
When their first child was born, they decided to give up the night life, so they sold the business and moved to San Francisco to start a new life. They have lived in Sonoma County since 1975.
They started a series of business ventures, including an elder care home that allowed Julya to work and be at home with the children. David worked for two redevelopment agencies in the Bay Area and eventually decided to open a mortgage brokerage, which he operated for 30 years. The business they are proudest of is the Orchard Inn on Old Redwood Highway. They turned a rundown tavern into an upscale dining establishment. Julya acted as executive chef and her
quest was to prove German food need not be heavy and fattening. She created what she called "California cuisine with a German accent." The restaurant is still successful under the lessees as Willi's Wine Bar.

JaMarcus Russell | Raiders | Interested: Redskins?, Eagles?
Update: Stop the presses! ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported on Wednesday afternoon that JaMarcus Russell has not yet been cut, and that the plan is for him to attend this weekend's mini-camp. Doesn't mean he'll still be around by the start of the season, but it gives us more time to ponder his next move.
In the Tuesday addendum to his Monday Morning QB column this week, Peter King of Sports Illustrated speculated on where JaMarcus Russell might land (look out below!) if theOakland Raiders do, in fact, cut him loose, which could be done by this weekend, per ESPN's John Clayton. A reader suggested the Washington Redskins (maybe to play on the O-line, as Rick Maese suggested), but King mentioned the Philadelphia Eagles.
On Monday, Aaron Wilson of National Football Post passed along word from a source that JaMarcus has "beefed up to 300 pounds." Beefcake! Sticking with the humorous idea of Russell switching to OL given his new physique, Jason Whitlock joked that the Chiefs "passed on OT at top of the draft n favor of Eric Berry becuz Pioli knew JaMarcus Russell would b available." Given Russell's struggles at the professional level, it's hard to get a read on what team would be the best fit at this point.

If you want an expensive pizza (2 large for $38), with very little sauce (even ordered extra sauce), burnt crust, very bland then this pizza is for you. Any chain pizza place is better than this
Yummy good food!! The food was the best we had on a two-week trip to the east coast. Everything was good.
Easy to find. Easy to park. We will go back!
Excellent Taste of Italy. Great friendly service, a very warm and friendly place to dine. . The owner is always there making sure everyone is comfortable. A little pricey but otherwise OK
Great stop for our road weary family. Service could not have been nicer. I found the atmosphere quaint and classic for an Italian restaurant. Kids had pizza, we had pasta and salad. Food was very good and prices were fair.
I'm not sure why this place is #8 in Medina. The decor is so 70s it hurts! From the calamari to the pizza to the lemon chicken, everything was slimey and chewy. Two minutes after receiving our food the waitress asked if I needed a box or if I just didn't like the food. She must have had a lot...
Santo Suossos is tucked in the corner of this retail plaza and what a wonderful find! Quaint, reasonable and excellent food. The beet salad is a MUST! Truly amazing blend of flavors! The Ahi Tuna sandwich is also unbelievably tasty! Will definately return again and again to this one!
One of my wives and my favorites. She loves the stuffed shells and I have found many enjoyable meals off the menu.
I have eaten here a number of times including for lunch, dinner and group functions and have always found the food to be excellent and better than the chain Italian restaurants. While the food is consistently great, the service is not as consistent. While I have never had a bad experience with service, the food is the stronger part of...
Good Italian Food and good service. They have a nice party room. Food is reasonably priced. Their eggplant parmesan is not the best. I would prefer a baked eggplant parmesan, layered like lasagna. They serve it chicken parmesan style--fried eggplant medallions with some cheese and then with sauce poured over the top. I make a mean eggplant parmesan at home!...
We always get a variety of dishes but keep going back for Rigatoni with Vodka Sauce. Pizzas are great too.

Today's Christian Woman includes inspirational pieces about relationships, marriage, parenting, spiritual life, work, family, health and friendship articles that all give insights into living a devout life.
Oustanding magazine. So disappointed that I will not be receiving it anymore. I looked forward to it everyday. Please, GOD willing bring it back.
I am so shocked and saddened to find that this magazine is no longer in publication. I am not a big magazine reader, but read every single article, word, and advertisement in TCW. It is a wonderful publication!
I am totally disappointed that I will no longer be receiving Today's Christian Woman magazine. I know times are tough, but this will be a great loss. I have enjoyed this magazine for many years and have odered it for my daughter, my friends, and my business aquaintances. They love the magazine as well and look forward to the subscription every year. I pray that this magazine will come back into publication. Thank you for all the stories and encouraging articles in the past. I'm so sorry that it has come to this. Thanks Again, Sue
I was so happy to get my subscription of Today'sChristian Womens magazine and so happy to see a beautiful black women like myself on the cover that i kissed the cover.This is the kind of magazine every christian women needs.Thank-You.Diane
I was pleasantly surprised, as were all of my family who subscribe to your magazine, that the articles are spiritual and practical at the same time. My son-in-law regularly reads my daughter's copy because he feels the same way. Also, so far, I have not discovered any assumptions that all Christians must vote Republican, be against abortion from a legal standpoint, etc. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised how often you discuss the importance of helping the poor, not being racist and not falling into the trap of materialism. Unfortunately, most Christians I know do not adhere to these biblical principles. I felt that your magazine was such a good guide and witnessing tool, that I ordered copies for several friends.

Deputy Matthew Bannister was doing a traffic stop near Wild Adventures on Clyattville Road.
He talked to the man driving the stopped car then walked over to the passenger side to talk to the woman.
That's when he turned and saw his patrol car on fire. He then tried to move the car but it wouldn't start, but he did save his computer and some equipment.
He and two other deputies tried to extinguish the fire they got it under control when firefighters arrived.
The sheriff thinks it's the heat from the catalytic converter that sparked the fire. The car is a total loss.

Domnique Newallo is one of the five students a pair of criminals tried rob near Georgia Tech's campus on June 22.Newallo was walking home from class around noon when it happened to her. "He pulls a gun to my face and says, 'you know what it is.' He cocked it back and then I had my book bag on my left shoulder and my cell phone in my right hand," Newallo said.It was hot outside and Newallo said she was not having a good day, so she got angry."I said. 'Excuse me? Hold on, hold on hold. Excuse me?' I just got confused and immediately got angry. I took my phone and sat it down, took my book bag and sat it down and said, 'Hold on excuse me.' I just kept on saying it because I couldn't believe it," Newallo said.Newallo said the robbers couldn't believe she was challenging them."He puts the gun down and he hands it to the guy. He says, 'Ma'am I'm sorry, I'm just trying to provide for my daughter.' I'm just like I don't give an 'F'," Newallo said. "How dare you say you're trying to provide for someone else. Go get a job. Seriously go get a job."The robbers ran off empty-handed. Atlanta police said the pair then robbed four other people around Georgia Tech that day.
Police released surveillance video of a man they said used one of the victim's credit cards at a gas station near Tech's campus.Newallo hopes police nab the criminals soon so students like her will have peace of mind while going to and from class."I feel for the regular students. I'm a mother, I work and I go to school."

As usual, a large number of the big players in the sanitation industry showcased their new products at this year's ISH. Wherever you look, you see one bathroom after another; tubs, basins, toilets, not to forget the fitting fittings. Water purls and bubbles, in streams of different strengths. Only on closer inspection do you notice the differences between the various innovations. Here, something is especially well worked, there a new, patented technology improves handling. Yet many of the products seem interchangeable.
On the sidelines in Hall 3 there is a small booth which is not defined by the white of ceramic and where everything else seems to somehow be somewhat different. Given the bathroom cupboards there you could be forgiven thinking that this is all about a living room. In fact, what is on show here seems fit for living areas. Perhaps this is what is meant by the repeated call for bathrooms to please be a bit more homely. What is certain is that here Italian mosaic maker Bisazza is presenting its first bath collection, designed by Jaime Hayon. Nina Reetzke talked to the Spanish designer about bathrooms, elegance and Art Deco.
Nina Reetzke: Señor Hayon, how did "Bisazza Bagno" come about?
Jaime Hayon: Bisazza took the far-reaching decision to found a "Bathroom" department. Because in the final instance mosaics, and Bisazza is renowned for them, are used in wet rooms, meaning in bathrooms, in hotel spas, and so forth. Signore Bisazza approached me some time ago. He liked the bath collection I originally designed for ArtQuitect and which has now come out in a revised version under the "Bisazza Bagno" brand. ArtQuitect is a small manufacturer without deep resources and we were therefore not able to make big waves. When Signore Bisazza asked me whether I would like to design a bath collection for him I answered: "Yes, sounds interesting. But why not let me simply advance the things that I have been concerning myself with anyway." After the original product line was bought up, there was more consistency in the collection. It became better, more industrial, and new products were added. We thought about the bathroom as a whole, we wanted to make something special, something glamorous, something unlike the typical sanitation products, as these so often seem clinical and technical. Just take a look round!
How exactly have you advanced your bathroom collection recent years?
Hayon: Bisazza focuses on design and I have collaborated with them for three and one half years now. They leave me a lot of scope for experimentation. And you can see that in the product catalog, which contains some sketches from the development sessions. They give you an idea of the many drawings of bathrooms I have made down through the years. The sketches in the catalog are 1-2 years old. I wanted to design a collection that had not only a feminine, but also a masculine feel.
What do you mean by 'masculine'?
Hayon: The collection conveys a 'strong' impression, thanks to the use of black. Sometimes a bathroom needs that 'fin noir'. Then there's the marble. The stone gives the collection a powerful, stable and precise feel. I particularly like the copper base frames, which were made specially for us.
Are the wooden accessories part of the new products?
Hayon: The collection contains many new items. The cupboards are now closed, there are shelf systems and showers, and I think the latter are a real success. Many people are interested in them because they seem so 'super simple'. They possess a certain minimalist elegance. Yet I am no minimalist designer. There's always room for a little expression. Take the washbasin, for example. The facets on the edge show its volume and allow for the interplay of light and shadow.
For many years now there has been debate on linking bathrooms and living rooms. Is it meaningful to keep talking about this?
Hayon: I would not exaggerate if I said that on this issue we've come a long way. People were shocked when a few years ago we presented the first bathroom designs in Milan. On the one hand it is now possible to showcase "Bisazza Bagno" as something new, but parts of it are quite a few years old. Back then, the special side to these things was the talk of the town. It was the first product I took to market. It made me known. Today, some of my designs have gone into production. We worked very hard. So it is all the more shocking if people simply will not 'wake up'! They still seem to think the bathroom is a place that should be hidden from view. I believe the bathroom should be a place that you can be proud to show to others.
In many apartments there's only a small room for the bath. In cities, real estate is expensive and the older buildings hardly envisaged space for bathrooms. To what extent did you factor these realities into your considerations?
Hayon: For our bath collection you don't need a big bathroom. There are also small products. Some models can even be 'halved'. And some combinations provide a lot of storage space and have an essentially restrained formal look to them.
Do you have a standalone tub in your bathroom?
Hayon: Yes, I have a beautiful standalone tub in my bathroom, not dissimilar to the tub in our Bisazza Bagno collection, just a bit more crazy. It's a prototype. I have a lot of prototypes, I live among prototypes, they're all over the place.
Do you think the collection is timeless or do you prefer to move with the zeitgeist?
Hayon: I consider the designs timeless. People look at the products as if they were made yesterday, when in fact some date back to 2003. Which is, after all, eight years ago.
What does elegance mean to you?
Hayon: Refinement. Modern, contemporary design tends not to be elegant. By contrast, everything I design has a certain elegance. You can see that someone has thought about it and that the products are executed well. You could, for example, simply use untreated marble. But for our products, the surface is polished because this makes it easier to clean them. In fact the reverse is treated, although it faces the wall. I mean, this is all about details. I love details.
Occasionally people compare "Bisazza Bagno" and Art Deco. Were you inspired by Art Deco or is the comparison wrong?
Hayon: In Art Deco's age, what counted was quality. Materials were combined and the products exuded a certain glamour. That's rare today. Wherever you look, you only see rectangular shells serving this or that function. I don't think like that. I like things that endure. In the 1930s, people still appreciated elegance. It was a special kind of glamour. The idea was not to attract a lot of attention, not to be immoderate, not to be Baroque. But to be refined, a simplicity that treads a thin line. That heeded many details. Being elegant is a challenge. If you input too much, it is too much, if you do too little, it is too little. The idea is also not to express yourself. You need to feel your way in cautiously. Look at the drawings in the catalogue, for example this one (points to one). It's all exaggerated, too many details. At that point, many questions were still unanswered. Here, some of the mistakes have been corrected (points to another drawing). Today I can say that we took all the right decisions and struck a good balance. You can see that I designed the products and that they have a certain inherent refinement. Getting there is a rough road and takes time. I like working that way. It's what goes to make up the work of a designer. I live, I experiment, and I like achieving what I dreamed of.

The door to room 118 at the Liberty Inn and Suites is gone-- busted by police during an early morning drug raid. They say tenant Julie Herron, 41, was selling heroin out her room. She was living there with her husband, Dwayne Herron, 56.
"My understanding is that they were there for an extended period of time and they don't have another residence to call home," Burlington Police Det. Thomas Nash said.
Police say the Herrons were recently evicted from their Burlington home and got state vouchers to stay at this South Burlington motel free. Inside, police found heroin, crack cocaine and two young children sleeping on the floor next to uncapped needles.
"There's concern being that the children were there," Nash said. "There was no indication whatsoever that the children were being hurt or abused."
The children were taken into state custody. Police say the Herrons are not their parents, but they were allowed to have contact with them. The couple was arrested and charged with possession and sale of drugs. Crimes they both denied in court.
But police say when Julie Herron got out of the cruiser, they found 13 bags of heroin in the backseat. And according to court paperwork, police got a search warrant to toss the Herrons' room after a confidential informant working with police made multiple undercover drug buys.
"Our obvious concern is that there are drugs being filtered through those hotels or motels," Nash said.
Off camera, hotel employees said the majority of these rooms are rented to folks like the Herrons on the state's hotel voucher program. The owners were out of town and unavailable for comment.
"As far as an owner or a manager concerned, it's kind of tough to determine who might be selling drugs, who might be doing drugs in the room," Nash said.
Julie Herron has two additional cases pending for drug sales. She was out on conditions of release. Friday, the judge set her bail at $10,000. Her husband is being held for lack of $5,000 bail.
DCF commissioner David Yacavone said last year the homeless hotel voucher program served 1,952 people. It has been criticized by some for being prohibitively expensive and heavily abused. Homeless who qualify can stay up to 28 days at a participating hotel. Yacavone says the state tries to keep track of those who abuse the program, but says it's tough when motel owners and police don't report incidents. He did say that criminal activity and destroying the rooms would be grounds for dismissal from the program. But it's still unclear how much that is really enforced.

If in the near future I decide to get married :-) I would really like at barn wedding. I just love the rustic beauty of them. But what is a barn without some horses, dogs or a wedding donkey?! I love the pics below of the brides that took the time to include their four-legged friends in the celebration. Many of the pictures from my mane and tail decor and wreath post would look lovely here as well. I guess there is always the honeymoon to go riding horses on the beach…or just have a beach wedding!

CoreLogic, a provider of analytical information about the housing market, reported that the current residential shadow inventory as of January 2012 was 1.6 million units, approximately the same level reported in October 2011. CoreLogic estimates shadow inventory by calculating the number of distressed properties not currently listed on multiple listing services (MLSs) that are seriously delinquent, in foreclosure and real estate owned (REO) by lenders.
On a year-over-year basis, shadow inventory was down from January 2011, when it stood at 1.8 million units. Currently, the flow of new seriously delinquent (90 days or more) loans into the shadow inventory has been offset by the roughly equal flow of distressed sales (short and real estate owned).
"Almost half of the shadow inventory is not yet in the foreclosure process," said Mark Fleming, chief economist for CoreLogic. "Shadow inventory also remains concentrated in states impacted by sharp price declines and states with long foreclosure timelines."
Anand Nallathambi, president and CEO for CoreLogic, added: "The shadow inventory remains persistent even though many other metrics of the housing market show signs of improvements. In some hard-hit markets, the demand for REO and distressed property is now outstripping supply. As we move into what is traditionally the peak selling season for real estate, servicers will certainly be watching closely to see if now is the time to move more inventory out of the shadows."
Some data highlights from the report include:
• The shadow inventory is approximately half the size of all visible inventory listings. For every two homes available for sale, there is one home in the "shadows."
• The total percent of borrowers who were ever 60+ days delinquent (irrespective of delinquency status today) increased to 15.5% in January 2012, up from 14.3% a year ago.
• Florida, California and Illinois account for more than a third of the shadow inventory. The top six states, which would also include New York, Texas and New Jersey, account for half of the shadow inventory.
• The highest concentration of shadow inventory is for loans with loan balances between $100,000 and $125,000. More importantly, while the overall supply of homes in the shadow inventory is declining versus a year ago, the declines are being driven by higher balance loans. For loans with balances of $75,000 or less, however, the shadow is still growing and is up 3% from a year ago.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (BP)--Three noted theologians, who have worked together on Evangelicals and Catholics Together (ECT) documents and as individuals on the topic of unity, shared thoughts and clarified the message of ECT Oct. 2 at Samford University in Birmingham, Ala.
ECT has brought to the fore diverse issues of ecclesiology, the aspect of theology that deals with the doctrine of the church, acknowledged Richard John Neuhaus, president of Religion and Public Life, during a session of "Pilgrims on the Sawdust Trail: Evangelical Conversations." The two-day program was sponsored by Samford's Beeson Divinity School.
"Our Lord intended that there should be one everyday reality: Christ and his church. The scandal is that we aren't one. We are brothers and sisters, and we do not live as one," Neuhaus said.
Respondents were Beeson Divinity School dean Timothy George and Jeffrey Gros, associate director of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Neuhaus traced the beginnings of the ECT movement to the early 1990s, when it was grounded in the pro-life movement.
"We have already seen what can happen when Christians converge in unity," he said.
An important part of the first ECT document in 1994 was the statement recognizing each other as brothers and sisters in Christ, Neuhaus said. "Many evangelicals had not been raised to think of Catholics in that way," he said.
Few Catholics oppose the work of ECT, Neuhaus said. "Being a Catholic is not so much about not being something else. It is the Catholic belief that the saving graces of God are by no means limited to the Catholic Church," said Neuhaus, citing action of the Second Vatican Council in 1962, which set forth that Christ and the church are co-terminate. "When someone is connected to Christ, they must be connected to the church because the body and the head can never be separated."
Christian unity is necessary, he said, "because we are one. From the Catholic point of view, the goal of Christian unity is the full communion of all Christians."
In his view, the goal of ECT is not that everybody become Catholic, Neuhaus said. "ECT has no great plan for reorganizing any of the major religious institutions, but seeks to recognize the unity that is ours as brothers and sisters in Christ."
For several years, Catholic and evangelic theologians have been studying the issue of Scripture and tradition, a major difference between the two communities, he said, noting that publication of a new statement on this theme is planned for the spring of 2002.
"All of this is the work of Christ before it is our work. The only unity pleasing to God is the unity that is established in truth. The only thing that truly brings us together in Christ is truth. Our task is that of obedience," Neuhaus said.
In response, Gros noted Vatican II's impact on today's Catholics. "Catholics are in revival because of Vatican II. More Bible reading, more laypeople and deacons are involved, and there is a return to the values of the gospels."
Regarding ECT, Gros observed that on the Catholic side, the evangelical side is hardly taken into account. "The evangelicals, in a positive way, are yet to occur on the scanner," he said, adding that there is a need to help people understand that there is more to evangelicalism than an anti-Catholic sentiment.
"But I believe evangelicals need to know that we are Bible-believing Christians, who always had the Bible as the center of our faith. We keep a closer connection between the invisible church and the visible church than is true of Protestants, and evangelicals in particular," Gros said.
Beeson's dean, Timothy George, noted that evangelicals have often been defined by their "contrarian impulse."
"We've not been as well known for what we are for, as for what we are against," George said.
"Evangelicalism is a renewal movement in historic Christian orthodoxy," he said. "Evangelicals accept the apostolic witness of the early church, as well as the great themes of the Protestant Reformation, and the many movements of awakening from the Methodist revival to Pentecostalism," George said.
He noted several reasons why conversations between evangelicals and Catholics are difficult, beginning with the "virulent nativism" that is part of American culture. "That fear has subsided, but not been eliminated," he said, noting that the scars of persecutions, "on both sides of the confessional divide," extend back through centuries. The two groups, he said, must come to a reconciliation of shared memories. Also, he noted, many evangelicals find it difficult to think that they could enter into dialogue with Catholics without compromising.
George took issue with Neuhaus' reference that the church can only be used in a singular sense.
"Scripture uses it in the plural. Paul writes letters to churches. Individual churches must repent and return to Christ, or else they can cease to be," George said. "Evangelicals would say that churches can come and go, but the one true church to which all believers belong comprises all of God's redeemed people through the ages."
While ECT builds on the things that the two groups can affirm together, such as the Trinity and salvation through Christ alone, the documents "make clear the differences we still have," George said. "Truth doesn't always burst forth with absolute clarity and fullness at once."
George described types of ecumenism, such as that "of the trenches," identified by the common stand Evangelicals and Catholics took on the sanctity of human life. The ECT process, he said, has been guided by an ecumenism of conviction, not of accommodation, and an ecumenism of fellowship has followed.
"All who truly believe in Jesus Christ are brothers and sisters in the Lord, regardless of denominational differences," George said.
He also pointed to the ecumenism of common witness in a world that needs people who follow Jesus Christ to demonstrate God's love and grace in their relationships with one another. This common witness, he said, must be based on the biblical and apostolic witnesses of the Christian faith.
Largely because of this, George said, evangelicals can have a common witness with Catholics that they can't have with Mormons, Jehovah's Witness and many other sectarian groups.
"Pilgrims on the Sawdust Trail" also included sessions devoted to conversations among evangelicals and fundamentalists, Pentecostals and mainline Protestants.

Stimulating Americas Economy
Stimulating America's Economy
America is in a time of desperation and with the aid of a few specific, undeniably rich Americans.
Forty-two percent of American's financial wealth is owned by about one percent of Americans. This being said I believe with some collaboration and generosity they alone have the power to bring America's economy back to its former glory. I'm not trying to propose one guy bailing out America, but a group such as the top one hundred richest Americans' chipping in along with the U.S. government creating a three trillion dollar act giving about ten thousand dollars to every American. The children will buy toys, teens electronics, young adults college and homes, adults more toys for their kids, gas, food, and maybe even a toy for themselves. This would cause a huge shopping spree across America causing not just one type of business to be reinvigorated, but all types ranging from local restaurants, to multimillion dollar industries. Americas businesses would thrive and more jobs would open. I am not trying to say this will solve all of our problems but it's a start and we have to start somewhere, and all of this can only happen with the efforts of you, an individual, speaking up, spreading the word. We can make this happen

QUICK DOWNLOAD: Daft Punk
Quick Download is our weekly post bringing you a track, old or new, that we have been obsessing over recently.
As soon as I saw that video of fellow countrymen Phoenix and Daft Punk playing together, I was filled with a sense of wonderment and overjoyed that those two robots had made some kind of comeback to the stage. It feels like an unbelievably long time since we've been graced with a visible Daft Punk presence (apart some really good mixes in DJ Hero and of course, their Tron:Legacy soundtrack is upcoming).
Anyway, after hearing them play just those few slow, robotic vocal samples of Harder Better Faster Stronger made me remember this lovely live gem from Alive 2007. It's a brilliant mash of the formerly mentioned song and Around the World. Once you start listening it will be obvious how amazing Daft Punk just must be live.

On Wednesday night, a retired Bwogger relived his glory days of lecturehopping when he headed downtown and attempted to decipher the postmodern conundrum of a panel featuring Columbia professors Gayatri Spivak and Rosalind Morris, and soon-to-be-Columbia-professor Judith Butler.
So, humanities majors, you know that first time you go back home freshman year, probably for Thanksgiving? Over turkey, you try to explain to your parents the colonial problems with the holiday, which then somehow becomes you trying to explain how gender is socially constructed. You end up sounding pretentious, and your dad ends up saying something like, "if gender is socially constructed, then why do all girls like pink? Can you explain that?" This results in you slamming your face down into the mashed potatoes.
Well, the two academics perhaps most responsible for this conversation—Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Judith Butler—shared the stage this past Wednesday at the CUNY graduate center to discuss and celebrate "Can the Subaltern Speak?", Spivak's foundational 1983 essay that helped make postcolonial studies into the pervasive discipline it is today. Any attempt to sum up the essay's arguments will be insufficient, but suffice it to say that the answer to the title's question was and remains "not yet," according to Spivak. (more…)

Guest Star: "You Were The First One Introducing The Skinny Jeans & Then The Skirts & Now What's Next?
Wednesday, Jan 30, 2013 2:45PM
[After publicly scolding men's fashion this week on Instagram, Brand Nubian's Lord Jamar gives SOHH readers his take on some bad trends going down in hip-hop these days.]
My argument goes back to the skinny jeans. Everything comes together degree by degree. In order to implement something, you have to have one degree. A baby drinks milk before it goes on to solid foods.
The skinny jeans is what introduced that feminine style. When I was coming up, the girls rocked skin-tight jeans. That's what we liked. We liked looking at that. But later you would see some of the homosexuals in the hood rocking that kind of style, rocking the skinny-type jeans and they might have some flip-flops on, dragging their feet around.
We know those dudes in the hood and now that's what these dudes are doing but they think it's cool. I have a son that's 20 years-old and I've had this fight with him about the d*mn skinny jeans. "Nah, you don't understand Dad, that sh*t's not feminine." Yes it is. "The girls love it." I don't care what the girls love. If the girls love wearing make-up, is y'all gonna rock make-up?
Come on, man. Somewhere you've got to draw the line as a man. As a man, you're not going to be rocking dresses. [Lil Wayne at the VMA's show in leggings], that sh*t ain't cool too. I posted sh*t about that too. I posted sh*t like that. Check my timeline, I posted sh*t about A$AP Rocky with the dress, I did all that type of sh*t but it's because I put Kanye's name [in an Instagram post] that y'all are hitting me up. I don't give a f*ck because I don't pull no punches. It ain't nothing against Kanye, personally. I don't know dude. I never met him in my life. But stop introducing that bullsh*t. You were the first one introducing the skinny jeans and then the skirts and now what's the next thing? Pearls? Make-up? Handbags?
First of all, let me just say I'm not angry and I'm not bitter about anything. These are just my observations and you can choose to agree with me or not. None of this is being done maliciously and if anything, this is being done out of love because I love hip-hop, I love the culture, I love Black people and when I see certain things being introduced in a way that it's calculated, I have a problem with that. I have a problem. Especially when the youth is coming up and thinking it's cool because they're using certain individuals who have influence to try to implement whatever it is they want to implement.
I'm not with it. I'm not just going to go along with it, I'm not just going to sit back and then wait to speak on it. They'll put all these labels on you to make it sound like you're the one with the problem. I'm not the one with the problem.
I don't rock skirts. You're never going to see me in them. I don't rock my stuff as baggy as I used to but I'm not rocking skinny jeans.
Lord Jamar is a rapper and actor. He is a member of the hip-hop group Brand Nubian which formed in 1989. As an actor, he is best known for his role of Supreme Allah on the TV series Oz. He has also appeared on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, Third Watch and The Sopranos. He released his debut The 5% Album in 2006.

After putting up a fight against cancer for more than two years, Ty Louis Campbell—whose fighting spirit earned him the nickname 'SuperTy'—died Wednesday.
Neighbors confirmed the news. Word broke on Facebook Wednesday, when some of the 9,600 folks who follow the little boy's story online began leaving messages of condolence:
"I have no words to express the sadness & heartbreak that I am feeling. You are an amazing little boy. The bravest, strongest, most inspiring Super HERO!!! You are a true angel! My only solace is that you are no longer suffering from that horrific disease. You are pain free, cancer free, free to walk, run, jump in puddles, sing, dance, play, laugh and SMILE! We love you so much Ty! You have taken a piece of my heart with you to heaven! My only hope is that Louie, Cindy are able to find peace and comfort in all that Ty has accomplished and all the lives that were touched by your sweet little angel. My heart goes out to you Louie, Cindy, Gavin, Aunt Debi & the rest of Ty's family! ♥ ♥ ♥"
"I am a better person because of you sweet boy."
"Sweet, sweet Super Ty—you have blessed and changed the lives of so, so many people. Your journey now continues in Heaven, pain-free and happy - you are soaring. God, please take this little Angel under your wing and love him as much as he is loved on Earth. So much love and prayers for the whole Campbell family."
"Rest in peace beautiful boy. You touched the lives of so many strangers with your courage and bravery. You are pain free, flying with the angels, jumping in mud puddles. My heart breaks for your family. I will continue to pray for them and raise awareness for this awful disease."
"No words could ever be adequate. I have fallen in love with this sweet little boy and his family. I know you are at peace, Sweet Ty. I just wish there was another way. My heart is broken. Condolences to your loving family."
Information on services was not immediately available.
Here is more information on Ty's battle—including his August 2010 diagnosis, his Make a Wish Foundation trip to Disney World, the absence of the disease after doctors said he had months to live and the cancer's return:

Occasionally after illness, injury or surgery you may have difficulty walking or moving around. Weakness, balance difficulty or surgical weight-bearing restrictions may require that you walk with assistance or with a device to ensure safety.
One such device that can help you walk safely and independently is a walker. There are many different types of walkers to choose from. The two main types of walkers are a standard walker and a wheeled walker.
Types of WalkersStandard Walker. The standard walker is typically an aluminum frame with four adjustable legs that contact the floor. There are small handgrips on the top to hold onto the walker. The legs help provide extra support while you are walking. There are also rubber caps on each leg to help grip the floor and prevent the walker from slipping.
An advantage of using a standard walker is that it provides a great amount of stability to help prevent loss of balance and falls. One disadvantage is that you must use your arms to lift and advance the walker while walking. If your arms are weak, this may present a problem. The lifting and advancing of the walker can become tiresome. Also, a standard walker is difficult to use on stairs, and often you will need another person to help carry the device up and down stairs.
A standard walker usually has a folding mechanism that allows the walker to be folded flat for easy transport in a car or on public transportation.
Wheeled Walker. A wheeled walker is usually an aluminum framed walker with two wheels on the front legs. This allows the walker to be pushed along the floor while walking and eliminates the need to lift the walker to advance it.
An advantage of a wheeled walker is that it allows you to walk with greater speed. One disadvantage is that it is less stable than a standard walker and can easily be pushed away from you while walking. Like the standard walker, the wheeled walker is usually foldable for easy storage and transport. It is also not safe to use a wheeled walker to walk up and down stairs.
When Should I Use a Walker to Walk?
If you have surgery on your hip, knee or ankle, you may not be allowed to put your full weight on your foot to walk. You may be required to keep the operated foot off the floor. A walker will help provide stability and support and allow you to maintain weight bearing restrictions while walking.
After illness or injury that requires an extended period of bed rest and recuperation, you may have weakness in one or both legs. Your balance can also be affected after a period of bed rest. A walker may be necessary to help provide the support you need to get walking again.
How Do I Use a Walker?
Be sure to talk to your doctor and physical therapist to make sure that you are using the correct walker and to learn how to use it properly.
Before using a walker, you must make sure it is the correct height for you. To size the walker, stand up inside the frame and allow your arms to hang down. If your balance and strength are limited, be sure to do this with someone nearby to help you. The handgrips of the walker should be at the level of your wrists. If they are not, sit down and use the small push buttons to adjust the four legs of the walker to the correct height.
Walking with a standard walker can be difficult as you will need to lift the walker and advance it while walking. This easy, step-by-step guide can help you safely walk with a standard walker. Make sure you do not stand too close to the front crossbar of the walker. Also, make sure all four feet contact the floor at the same time to avoid tipping the walker over.
Walking with a wheeled walker is a simpler task. To walk with a wheeled walker, stand inside the walker and push it forward while walking. Try to avoid standing too close to the front of the walker. Also, do not let the wheeled walker get too far in front of you while walking.
How Do I Know When I Don't Need the Walker?
As your strength and balance improve after injury or illness, you may not need to walk with a walker anymore. Crutches, a quad cane or a standard cane may be better suited for you. You must speak with your doctor and physical therapist to decide which device is best for your specific condition.
Walkers provide you with a great amount of stability and safety when properly used. By working with your doctor, physical therapist or healthcare provider, you can be sure to use the correct device properly to ensure the safest level of functional mobility and independence.

Kingston councillor 'frustrated' by delays in benefit fraud investigation
5:00am Monday 27th January 2014 in News By Ross Logan, Chief Reporter
A Kingston councillor at the centre of an investigation into alleged benefit fraud says he still does not know whether he will be prosecuted – almost two years since an inquiry was launched.
Independent Canbury ward Councillor Tim Dennen has been under investigation since April 2012, although details of the case cannot be released for legal reasons.
Coun Dennen stepped down as a member of the Liberal Democrat party and as chairman of the Kingston neighbourhood committee shortly before it was revealed benefit claims made by him were being investigated by Kingston Council.
But almost 22 months on, details of any further action are yet to be revealed by Kingston Council.
Speaking to the Surrey Comet this week, Coun Dennen, who receives £7,528.95 a year as member allowances, said: "Truthfully, I know nothing.
"I'm quite frustrated as you can imagine – all I can do is go on carrying out my day-to-day duties.
"I'm at the mercy of the people investigating.
"I wish I could tell you what was going on, but I really don't know what's happening."
Should the investigation find against him, he could be forced to resign as a councillor and face prosecution.
But Coun Dennen said: "I'm innocent until proven guilty.
"The longer it goes on the better I guess, but the whole thing has been quite shocking really, and I've just got to wait."
The investigation was hampered last year when the Department for Work and Pensions, which initially took over the case from Kingston Council, handed it back to the authority having allowed its own investigation to time out.
Former Kingston Council leader Derek Osbourne said at the time the DWP's intervention had set the process back by about six months.
Current leader Liz Green said: "The last I heard it was with [head of corporate governance] Andrew Bessant's department.
"I've heard nothing since." A spokesman for Kingston Council said: "The investigation continues and we hope to be in a position to comment further soon. Investigations such as this are often complex."
