This is HOT!
Great..... really hot
I like this thread
Me 2 - I agree with the other poster - it is so much hotter when the guy is not aware he is showing his stuff!!!!
I love this thread.
Reminds me of when i was at work one hot day & we had a guy in painting, he was up a ladder painting the top of the walls all he had on was a t shirt & cut down denimn, i took him a drink & as he turned to sit on the step ladder i got a glorious eye full of foreskin & pube. Oh!

LOL! I would have been in hog-heaven . I love that cut up denim shorts fad that's going around now, it makes for a very promising possibility for us to enjoy the freeballers.
I was trying to catch a glimpse of some free-balling a couple nights ago and a thought occurred to me: my straight guy friends would get SO mad if they knew what I was up to

The rest aren't accidental but I can't complain.

Hot pics guys. I was sitting on train last week in pair of baggy khaki shorts and no underwear. I caught a couple of guys checking out my package while I sat there. Was a major turn on seeing them be discreet about their glances up my shorts legs.
Question? Have a good friend of mine who I think is always checking out my package discreetly, but doesn't admit it in the moment. One time I left my fly open when in bathroom and caught him looking. Then I've seen him looking up shorts a couple of times when I was freeballing. I even had on sweats one time and was toweling off under shirt so my pubes were hanging out of sweats. He mentioned later that my bush was hanging out and I caught him glancing several times. But when I joke about showing off my package or flashing him in a joking manner he acts like he's "scared" and so on. What do you guys think about this situation? Is he being coy and trying to see how far I'll go?
Hot! I love the "accidental" pictures.
Spend the afternoon. You can't take it with you. ~Annie Dillard
love looking up a guys shorts, it's my favorite pastime.
5 more, hope you like.
This takes freeballing to a whole other level. Meet the man of my dreams:
OH YES! He is gorgeous. not exactly freeballing but i could lok at that all day. Yummy!
At a huge parade in Torres Vedras, Portugal there was a hilarious float featuring Portuguese soccer stud Cristiano Ronaldo, the footballer is sitting atop a globe with his stubbly nuts hanging out of his shorts.
Not really shorts, but interesting.
That is so hot.
I was at a sporting event one time and this young guy was sitting behind me and to the left of me. Whenever I would look back I could see right up his shorts at eye level. He wasn't wearing any underwear so I could see all of his junk! It was hot!
keep it up keep it up :P *!*
i love it when u accidentally see up the leg of a lads shorts n u get a veiw of cock or balls always gets me horny
I had a similar experience once. The dude was behind me but to the right of me. It was an outdoor event so I had my sunglasses on, which made for easier less than obvious viewing. Junk was just there hanging to the left for the world to see every time he put his feet up.
At the beach I love looking at guys cocks in their bathing suits as they're lounging back. Apart from several strangers, I've even seen my sexy uncle ball sack through his bathing suit pants leg. It was so hot. I had sunglasses on so I made like I was looking near him but not at it and I got to stare at it for half an hour as he slept.
This isn't EXactly the same thing but is similar. My friend and I went to the beach and rented a hotel room in the prime part of town and on the Broadwalk. It was Off-Season (late April) the only time we could afford to stay there. We bought a lot of stuff to party, beer as well as some stuff to smoke.
My friend always OVERindulged and we ran out of 'smoke' early. There was a club across the street that had a GREAT happy hour and stayed open late. We had our Happy Hour drinks and my friend scored some smoke.
Late in the evening, we ran out again. That club was open till '2:30 am. My friend said he'd bet he could go to the club and score again. I told him, more or less, to go ahead if that's what he really wanted to do, but that I was drunk and high and was going to stay in the room.
Now, it was a really nice spring evening, and after my friend had gone out, I decided to hang out on the deck overlooking the broadwalk. I always enjoy a sexy situation so I sat out there in my boxer shorts. Not a lot of people on the beach, so I sat there drinking beer and letting my dick poke out from time to time.
After a while, a guy walked by and sat on the bench just about below our balcony. I wondered id he did that because he noticed me on the deck. I stood up a few times and leaned against the railing...poking my dick out more or sagging my boxers lower and lower on my ass.
While I was out there, my friend came back and brought a guy from the club with him... He was kinda a tall black guy with a 'crazy' expression on his face. Well, my pants were kinda out of reach so I decided what the hell and just walked on in in my boxers....The guy kept asking if we had anything to drink...there was one beer left and I offered it to him...He guzzled that down, my friend did his transaction and the guy left.
After we'd gone to bed, I woke up during the night and realized I wasn't in my room because of the wallpaper pattern..I woke up wondering' "Where the Hell am I and WHO the Hell is that in the next bed??" Of course it was my friend. I told him about that in the morning and said I was GLAD I didn't find myself in bed with that weird looking black guy...
I've never been privledged enough to actually see anything "fall out" or through the leg of shorts, but I have a basketball shorts fetish and I love love it when guys wear them without underwear.. I can't take my eyes off their bulges. The same with sweatpants.
At my old job I was a cashier overnights and would see a lot of guys come in after just working out, or you can tell they were just hanging out and would only be wearing shorts and sweats with nothing underneath and like a cut off shirt and a baseball cap, or beanie.. that's like the epitome of straight boy for me and ultimate sexual fantasy, drives me wild. I love it. If I ever got to let a boy like that let me give him head, I think it'd literally be like a dream come true for me.. lmao.. which is so sad..
For your delight and amusement... sorry the picture quality is crap...
What are the "old pictures" like? Why are they illegal now?
thats why i always wear briefs
it happened to me once, i was sitting on the floor during P.E. and a girl saw my dick, she called a guy, the guy called somebody else so by the end of the class like half my class had seen my dick. and i didnt know it until the first girl told me after school. now i wear briefs, and rarely wear shorts
I remember one time in year 11 in high school, we were sitting on the field in P.E. and I was taking to this extremely hot guy, but I ended up looking down to the grass, and I saw the head of his dick poking out through his shorts. It was so hot, and it turned me on so much that I got a boner and I think he noticed it, because he got rather embarrassed.
In the end, he came out as being gay and we hooked up for a few months until we went to different colleges.
Some pics from the net with views up shorts
I don't really have a fetish for this, but there is this really cute guy at my school who runs like none stop and never wears underwear.
One day at a parade for our school's Homecoming I was sitting on the curb watching the floats and he came next to me and sat on like a planter thing next to me (and sort of behind me). Anyways, I turned around and had a fantastic, face to face...err cock, view of his tanned toned hairless legs and a clear view of his sack and penis.
It was beautiful.
Anyways I think I found a nice photo of another swimmer that hasn't been posted here.

I studied in a Catholic school, you can figure out (sex=sin, gay= abomination, a.s.o) Nobody was allowed to show his naked body -EVER. No, not even the lockers. You had to walk into the shower and out of it with your briefs on.
So I really loved being a bitch, sitting in front of the priest who was "at charge" that moment and showing him my "huevos" which is the name in spanish for "nuts" and making him feel he was stealing from me something that was actually free.
He never said a word about it, but he never stopped staring at me, and I never gave up showing off for a whole year. I felt we had a weekly appointment so we were a good team imo
So fucing love this thread, as i have said before. It is just so nice when it happens tho, i tend to do it on purpose in summer when i am in shorts. I will sit on a wall & position everything so i have just one ball hangin out or the tip of my cock peeping, then wait for the traffic to pass, best when its a bus i spread my legs wider so they get a good view.
Is there a polite way tell a stranger at a tropical resort that his nuts and ass are showing?
From the net
couple more
Unless he was asleep, he either didn't care or was doing it on purpose. There's no way a guy can have all his junk hanging out there like that and not have a clue. It's one thing to get a peek from just the right angle but it's another thing to have a full view of everything right up front.

text:
She is one of the most discussed legendary figures of all times — especially on nights when there is a slight chill in the air — just nippy enough to make the hairs stand on necks of sweet, tender young children who disobey their parents and stay out just a little bit too long.
After years of quietly, stealthily, walking in the cover of shadows through the city's darkened streets, some people still swear blood oaths they hear Tall Betsy moaning from one of the mausoleums in Fort Hill Cemetery.
Beware tonight. It's Halloween and Tall Betsy is making her return to the Cleveland Block Party for one night only.
According to the legend of Tall Betsy:
She comes out only on Halloween
On Centenary Avenue she can be seen,
Tall Betsy is the Lady in Black,
For scaring "night-owls" she has a knack.
Now if you're good and go home early,
You won't get 'et by this gruesome girlie.
But if you linger 'til after 10,
We want you to know you are a "has been."
'Cause Betsy will tuck you under her arm,
And you can bet, that is cause for alarm.
To Fort Hill Cemetery she will go,
To her mausoleum, with YOU in tow!
If you don't escape before sunrise,
I warn you now you will be her prize.
She will have you for breakfast, I do not jest,
You'll be on the menu but not as her guest.
Your bones, she'll dump in that ole well,
At Arnold School and no one will tell.
Your parents, they'll worry and fret,
They'll search all over for you, I'll bet.
So, go home early on Halloween night
And November 1st you'll be all right.
Trick or treating is so much fun
But if you see Tall Betsy… RUN!
In honor of Tall Betsy's Block Party return, businessman and philanthropist Allan Jones presented a painting of Tall Betsy to Arnold Elementary School on behalf of the Allan Jones Foundation.
During the presentation, fourth- and fifth-graders were treated to the story behind the legend of Tall Betsy.
"How many of you have ever heard of Tall Betsy?" Jones asked.
The cacophony of replies came all at once from the 50 or so students.
"Scary, right?" Jones said. "The legend of Tall Betsy, the story was actually made up by me. Tall Betsy is not real."
The real Tall Betsy was a very tall woman who walked the streets of Cleveland late at night, Jones said. She was also known as Black Betsy or the Lady in Black.
"Parents in the 1920s and 1930s would tell their children they'd better come in after the street lights come on because that's when Tall Betsy comes out and walks. But that's all she did," Jones said.
"Did she hurt anybody?" a student asked.
"No," Jones answered. "Tall Betsy didn't hurt anybody or do any of the things you think she did. All that stuff you think she did, I made up. Nobody knows that except you kids."
The kids responded with denials at Jones' very suggestion they would one day quit trick or treating on Halloween.
Jones said Tall Betsy is responsible for the tremendous success of Cleveland's Block Party. He was told the tale of Tall Betsy by his mother, Gincy, as well as his grandmother, Marie Slaughter.
Jones explained he dressed up as Tall Betsey in 1980 and entertained for her at a Halloween party. He stood on stilts and wore a black dress. At one point, he went outside and stood in front the house. That year, no one came to the house for treats. He continued the practice every Halloween for four years.
"The fourth year we had a big crowd," he said.
That year, the Cleveland Daily Banner asked him to tell the story of Tall Betsy.
"Well, there was no story, so I started making up the story as I sat there (in front of the house)," he said.
"The Tall Betsy legend eventually spread outside of Cleveland and became such an event that in 1993 we took an official count of how many people came to my house," Jones recalled. "From 5 to 8 p.m., we handed out exactly 11,201 pieces of bubblegum at our Centenary Avenue home. That number does not include parents, grandparents or even the smaller children who were too afraid to actually come to our doorway."
Tall Betsy suddenly retired in 1998 after drawing a Halloween Block Party crowd of 25,000 possible victims. No explanation was given for the goblin's vanishing act.
"Tall Betsy lives in a mausoleum at the highest point in Fort Hill Cemetery," he said. "That's the way the legend goes."
But tonight, Tall Betsy will be back — possibly for the last time in a long time. So come and see Tall Betsy Halloween night at the Block Party. Get your picture taken with her, and smile if you dare — but be in by 10! Because while she has not been on the loose recently, should you push your luck, you could be a has been!

ARTFUL CAUSE: The fashion world isn't particularly known for its inclusiveness, but come Sept. 4, one window in Barneys New York and Paper magazine will be out to change that — at least for a while. Thirteen artists from the Oakland, Calif.-based Creative Growth, which nurtures the art of the developmentally challenged, have interpreted the fall collections for the September issue of Paper and Barneys. "How can anyone not love seeing this world we call fashion — which is usually such an insider's game — so purely and gorgeously through the eyes of these magical outsiders?" Paper's co-editor and publisher Kim Hastreiter, who is on the group's advisory board, writes in the issue. Photographs and bios of the artists follow. The issue also has a fashion spread in tribute to Isabella Blow with the designs of Blow mainstays like Philip Treacy and Alexander McQueen, and an image of a Blow-esque model appears on the cover. — Irin Carmon
MAD ABOUT MAD MEN: Either The New York Times is an extremely big fan of the new AMC show, "Mad Men," or the cable network has an extremely aggressive publicity team. The drama about Madison Avenue advertising executives in the Sixties has gathered a following among both critics and viewers, and has been covered in the media extensively since its debut (including this paper — see "It's a Mad, Mad Madison Avenue"; WWD July 17). But the Times in the last 10 days has been especially keen on the program, giving "Mad Men" space on the front page of its Sunday Arts & Leisure section, its House & Home section and its Thursday Styles section. On Aug. 16, House & Home profiled Bryan Batt, who plays art director Salvatore Romano on the show, in his New Orleans home. Three days later, Times critic Alessandra Stanley penned a piece on sex in television that pointed out the sexual contrast between macho male advertising executives in "Mad Men" and the demure wives and secretaries who service them. And on Thursday, Ruth La Ferla wrote a piece on the attention to detail of the show's styling. La Ferla's piece coincidentally appeared the same day USA Today ran a piece in its Life section on some of the Sixties props on the show.

JENSEN: Bears' vaunted defense fails to fluster Seahawks rookie QB Russell Wilson
BY SEAN JENSEN firstname.lastname@example.com
Chicago, 12/02/12 The Seahawks Russell Wilson drops back to pass in the first quarter against the Bears in Soldier Field December 2, 2012. | Curtis Lehmkuhl~Sun-Times Media
Marshawn Lynch isn't easily impressed, so he patiently considered the question posed to him as he dressed in the visitors' locker room at Soldier Field on Sunday.
Which play by Seattle Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson impressed him the most?
Lynch had plenty of options, given the brilliance and poise Wilson displayed throughout the Seahawks' 23-17 overtime victory over the Bears.
◆ A 49-yarder to former Notre Dame receiver Golden Tate on third-and-six late in the second quarter.
◆ Or any number of plays on a 12-play, 97-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter, during which he gained 19 yards on two runs and completed 6 of 9 passes for 80 yards, including a 14-yard touchdown to Tate.
◆ Or any number of plays on a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown drive in overtime, during which he gained 28 yards on three runs and completed all three of his passes for 38 yards, including the game-winner to Sidney Rice.
"[Expletive], all of them," Lynch said when asked to pinpoint a specific play by Wilson that stood out in his mind. "All of them."
The Bears' third-ranked defense is breaking and threatening a litany of records, mostly based on takeaways. But it couldn't get any from Wilson, a third-round pick out of Wisconsin who baffled the Bears with read-option plays and clutch passes.
The Bears' defense conceded a season-high 459 yards, with Wilson completing 23 of 37 passes for 293 yards with two touchdowns and sprinting for 71 yards on nine carries. That Lynch, a two-time Pro Bowl selection, also averaged 4.6 yards per carry only contributed to its struggles.
"Defensively, we didn't get it done," coach Lovie Smith said. "We had opportunities to make some plays there late."
The Bears sacked Wilson twice, but they missed on several other occasions. Wilson also thrived when the Bears designated rookie Shea McClellin to act as a "spy" against him.
But Wilson had a simple message to his coaches in the second half.
"The read option is wide open pretty much," Wilson recalled.
Asked about big plays generated out of the read option, McClellin said, "I really don't know. We have to go look at the film and see what we did there."
Not much.
Wilson is a two-way threat, something he showcased in 2011, when he led the Badgers to a Big Ten title and Rose Bowl berth and set the school season record for passing efficiency.
He had some decent runs before Sunday, but his 71 rushing yards against the Bears were a season-high.
"What he's able to do, running the ball, really helps us out and creates some pretty unique opportunities for us," Seahawks center Max Unger said.
There appeared to be only two "rookie mistakes."
As he was being pressured by end Israel Idonije, Wilson released an errant pass deep in the middle of the field.
Safety Major Wright had a line on the ball but couldn't make the play with Rice switching to defender. In overtime, the Seahawks were flagged for a delay-of-game penalty.
Wilson always persevered, which his teammates have come to expect.
"He's shown that composure all season and even back in college," receiver Doug Baldwin said. "When it was tight games, he was never shook."
Afterward, Wilson coolly slipped into his suit, then fulfilled his media obligations.
"It was a blast out there," Wilson said without much emotion.
Lynch expects more from Wilson.
"With him still learning, I know there's still more to come," he said. "This is just the beginning."
The Seahawks (7-5) are counting on him.

Norwood, MA (06/09/2010) - Industrial system designs involving platform stability, navigation, or precision measurements and diagnostics rely on multiple sensor inputs. In extreme environments where shock, vibration, and wide temperature ranges are present, a reliance on multiple sensor types or redundant sensors to compensate for environmental instabilities is common. System design engineers are under growing pressure to reduce this added system complexity and cost within existing and new applications. Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI) is helping industrial equipment manufacturers more easily implement stabilization, navigation, and control features by adding two highly integrated and precise MEMS inertial sensors to its product line of iSensor® motion sensor products. The new sensors combine tactical grade (< 10 degrees per hour) gyroscope performance with ADI's award-winning iSensor integration and factory calibration.
The ADIS16135 iSensor precision angular rate gyro and the ADIS16385 iSensor six-degrees-of-freedom inertial measurement unit (IMU) are both based on ADI's iMEMS® (integrated Micro Electro Mechanical System) inertial sensor technology cores and offer an unmatched 6 degrees per hour bias stability, and angular random walk of 0.75 degrees/√hr. Extensive factory calibration results in an unmatched sensitivity of 16 ppm/degrees C and bias stability to within 0.003 degrees per second over -40 to 85 degrees C. The sensors are dynamically compensated and provide a simple user interface and control via a standard SPI (serial peripheral interface) and register interface. The ADIS16135 gyro and ADIS16385 IMU are designed for a broad range of industrial and instrumentation applications including: camera stability; antenna alignment; down-hole drilling; and GPS navigation in ships, aircraft, fleet vehicles, agricultural machinery and factory robotics.
"With tactical grade gyro performance available in ADI's newest iSensor motion sensor products, complex stabilization and GPS-aided dead-reckoning is more easily enabled," said Bob Scannell, iSensor business development manager, Analog Devices. "For industrial system designers who require the highest levels of gyroscope bias accuracy in extreme environments, the ADIS16135 gyro and ADIS16385 multi-axis IMU achieve the best cost-performance ratio available today."
More About The ADIS16135 iSensor Gyroscope
The ADIS16135 is a high-performance single-axis digital gyroscope with a ± 300 degrees per second measurement range, a low noise level of 0.0122 degrees per second/√hr, and operates over a wide
335-Hz bandwidth using a single 4.85-V to 5.15-V voltage supply. The device is factory calibrated for temperature and voltage drift and provides superior linear acceleration sensitivity of only 0.03 degrees per second/g. It is also interface-compatible with all iSensor products, including the ADIS16385 IMU and others in the ADIS1636X series, further simplifying customer integration and migration plans. To download the data sheet, visit www.analog.com/pr/ADIS16135ds.
More About The ADIS16385 Six-degrees-of-freedom IMU

5. Neftali Feliz. To save him from Jon Daniels' clutches. Jon Daniels who pokes him in the back with a knife and makes him start and whatever, when Neftali really just wants to close. No, I have never read anything to this effect, but I can just intuit these things, you know?
4. Ryan Gosling. Because he's good at everything. He even saves lives. Not that I read the celeb gossip columns or anything.
3. LeBron James. He no longer needs to win rings and prove The Haters wrong, so maybe he should get into baseball. Closing, specifically. For the Giants, most specifically. I hear he's a great, selfless clubhouse personality, too.
2. Anyone Billy Beane picks. Because Billy Beane loves closers. Courtesy of Moneyball: "You could take a slightly above average pitcher and drop him into the closer's role, let him accumulate some gaudy number of saves, and then sell him off. You could, in essence, buy a stock, pump into up with false publicity, and sell it off for much more than you'd paid for it. Billy Beane had already done it twice, and assumed he could do so over and over."
1. Santiago Casilla. Looking like an increasingly appealing option, after making this list.
Casilla's had a bad couple little stretch and is now basically unavailable with a blister on his finger. The masses of craz—I mean, wonderful fans are calling for Sergio Romo to be handed the closer job and while I love Romo, I, um, do not agree. Even aside from Romo's recurring injury problems, which could make the job problematic for him, I think Casilla deserves a little benefit of the doubt.
Also, he bats.
If I'd proposed a year or two ago that he would make a fantastic closer, you would have laughed at me. Every one of you. Reason I didn't propose it is that I, too, would have laughed. So just now I propose that we all just sit back and give Casilla a moment. Or two. Or three. And use now-free moments to meditate on the unfairness of pitching on a team that doesn't reallyever hit. Ryan Vogelsong is probably a saint.
In other news, the Rangers have an even more ridiculous number of All Stars than the Giants.

Claires Chicago areaPosts: 981The Edmunds road testers called it "one of the most rewarding cars we've ever driven":
"Subaru's BRZ lacks adjustable dampers, throttle and steering calibrations. It has no complex electronic means of torque delivery... despite this, it is one of the most rewarding cars we've ever driven... If this is all that's required to make a sports car with elegant control, engaging feedback and enlightening limits, we have only one question: Why isn't every manufacturer doing it?"

Surprised? Not me.
Wonder if it will hold true on a race track?
Bob -
rsholland Posts: 19,744Short drive, about 4 blocks. That's all the dealer would allow.
First impressions:
• Power is okay, but won't blow you away. It's certainly not a match for my WRX.
• Engine is much louder than my WRX, but I suspect that was by design, considering the intended audience.
• Only one interior power outlet. So that means you can run your GPS or charge your cell phone, but not both. I believe the BRZ has an additional power outlet in the glove box (strange place!), plus navigation is standard in the BRZ.
• Paddle shifters worked fine; shifts were sharp and precise, and not slow or jerky. I drove it entirely in the manual-shift mode.
• Gear indicator is buried in the odometer cluster, making it a bit hard to find. May not be a problem once you get used to it?
• No visor mirror light. The BRZ Limited has that feature; not sure about the base BRZ?
• No center armrest.
I think test rides will be hard to come by with either the BRZ or FR-S, as the cars will be so scarce. The dealer I was at (Toyota/Scion/Subaru) also had a BRZ Limited 6-speed, but it was in the showroom.
My comments are obviously aimed at comfort and convenience, not performance. We know these cars will be fun to drive. What we don't know—and I suspect will likely not be reported on much—is the kinds of things I just mentioned; like what it's like to live with over the long haul.
Edmunds is getting both a BRZ and an FR-S as long-term testers for a full year, so it should be interesting to note the differences between the two. As of now they don't have either car, but should be getting them soon, I would think.
Bob -
sharkiemd Posts: 1I went to see both cars today here in TX, both amazing but only got to test drive FRS
Subaru BRZ
Premium: 29,400
Limited: 31,500
pros: better head lights, display touch navigation, fog lights, heated seats, push start, (better interior)
cons: ugly front bumper, spoiler, leather seats are not really all leather, on back order till 2013
Scion FR-S - OTD prices
Manual ?
Automatic: 28,300
Driving experience: nice more than subtle start up growl - both engine & exhaust. Very low to sit in, the seats encapsulates you, nice small chunky steering, ride is smooth (I was worried I would feel every crack on the road), I took a right turn out of the dealership and floored it, no drift but traction was on, impressive acceleration but other cars clearly have faster acceleration (bmw 328), in automatic the car pushes the rpm as aggressive as your driving style and refused to shift gears to maximize the experience. Handling was crisp. At no point did I feel the car was dragging either in the front or the back (very balanced). Torque available to your foot immediately. I cruised driving with the foot off the pedal and loved it (typical toyota-esque). Steptronic responsive and worked smoothly. Paddle shifters the same but I preferred the gear knob (manual transmission feel). Again highway driving smooth, you felt one with the road but not to the point where you feel every road crack. Braking pedal was a little anterior (probable new brakes?) - smooth braking. I felt a little uncomfortable with the blind spots but who cares I was going faster than everyone else:)
Pros: better front, suspension better to drift (according to salesman), no spoiler (want to add TRD spoiler)
Cons: no navigation, standard head lights, no fog lights, blah interior, no heated seats, no leather option
Obviously the car has its presence on the road but when justifying 2.0L 200hp for those prices I'm stumped at what to do.
On one hand Its the engine I want = FRS but on the other hand if one is paying 28,300 shouldn't I just pay 31,500 for the additional accessories on the BRZ?
Please advise -
rsholland Posts: 19,744Edmunds has a long-term FR-S in their fleet for a year. They are getting BRZ too, but don't have it yet. Why have both, you ask? The FR-S will get modded by Edmunds staff to see how much sporting potential is in this car. The long-term BRZ will remain stock.
Here is a suspension walk around of the FR-S. The BRZ obviously is the same.

KISS...Keep it simple, Sharkiemd...
I own the 6-speed MT FR-S and have decided in the last 2 months of wonership that the fewer gadgets on this car the better. The FR-S/BRZ twins were designed to be driven with no distractions - just sit down, stare straight ahead and go. I really like that my car has no steering wheel buttons, very simple HVAC controls, sticky cloth seats and easy to glance at gauges; keeping it simple.
Fog lights are not missed since you are only 15" above the pavement and the standard headlamps are very bright. Go for the Scion and remember the aftermarket for these cars is already bursting with goodies, so there will always be opportunities to add shiny bits later.

i picture them together in one dungeon, facing each other, with just enough room for me to kneel down between them ... i keep working them until they explode at the exact same time ... and the result is so powerful that their goo squirts directly onto the other's face ... and it oozes slowly down past their chins and into my waiting mouth ... and they both taste delicious ...

This is a classic photo from the trailblazing S/M classic "Born to Raise Hell" into which I've inserted the two male hotties from the movie "Kaboom"; Chris Zylka and Thomas Dekker; fun to work on adding all the "noise" to match an old black & white photo..

paxart: your recent Zylka/Dekker fakes are very hot; I must check out this film they were in. You've done very well to find side views of them - it certainly lets you do different poses.
I don't know why, but Alex Pettyfer is natural for bondage; perhaps its his ability to produce a manly scowl of defiance. Those clamps just make him sooo hard.

Well, until I went to the optomotrist yesterday, I was completing a tablecloth for my son's friend. But I had to turn in my glasses to get new lenses, so no close work for 10 days. My son's friend found a partially completed tablecloth when he closed up his mother's house after her death. So my son told me he was looking for someone to finish it, and I volunteered after someone here found the pattern from the picture my son sent. But her stitches were small, and I have to move the motifs into a rectangle and then make 100 or more motifs to add to that rectangle. I think I will have enough of her motifs to make the top of the table all her work. Then I will add mine to make the sides that drop down and also then I will add the connecting little asterisks in my cotton thread all over the cloth. Lots of her motifs tore off and I have to mend that somehow. Since she used the partial cloth, there are stains I hope I can remove. I will wash it gently when it is complete. My motifs will need the washing to remove the sizing and make the motifs relax and look better too. And I had made over 70 of the motifs when I put them away for the holidays and months later dug out to find that the thread had yellowed deeply. No wonder Herrschner's had discontinued that thread! So now I have enough to make a little cloth when I finally finish the big project. |

You know I try to work on only one project at a time, and that never works. Currently working on a sweater for my great nephew, BUT will probably start another left-over sock yarn sweater, socks and REALLY need to start christmas stockings..need to make 3, and want to get 5 done by christmas!!! Will add more projects and pictures as I do them. |
Wow, Sheila! That's a huge project to take on. I'm sure it will be beautiful when you finish it. Vickey, I have the same problem. I do intentionally work on more than one for a reason, tho. They all are on different size needles to make my hands feel better! Tami |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Mon, Jul 30, 12 at 18:03
Yes, Shiela Joyce, I remember when you first posted about that tablecloth. I remember thinking what a huge task you were assuming. Please do post pictures when you are done. I usually have several projects going at one time as well, but I have not picked up my knitting needles or a crochet hook in months. I think it's because of the heat. I enjoy the craft more when the weather is cooler. But I do have a project on the needles which has set idle for too long. It's called "Retro Throw". It's a free pattern from KnitPicks. I am repurposing the yarn (some of it had already been knitted up) that was intended for an Adult Surprise Jacket. I decided that my blob of a body did not need a boxy shapeless jacket, LOL. I am using: peach, taupe, cream, and a variegated (taupe, mushroom and cream). I rather like the look of it. BUT, I'm sure that if I did a small search I would find at least a pair of socks on needles and "something" with a crochet hook stuck in it. |

Hi everyone I'm fairly new to this forum and to knitting. I subscribed to Creative Knitting a few months back and the last issue had a patern for "My First Sweater" So after knitting a thousand scarves......I dove in and of course now I'm stuck and don't know what to do. I got the bottom of the back piece done and it's really pretty, I just don't understand the next step in the patttern....so that's what I've been doing. |
- Posted by donna_loomis (My Page) on Wed, Aug 1, 12 at 17:33
Sally, maybe you could start a thread and give us the specifics of your problem. I have that issue (as do others, I'm sure) and we may be able to help. |
- Posted by wantoretire_did (My Page) on Sun, Aug 12, 12 at 5:04
I just washed these to be ready to take to the hospital maternity ward when (if!!) it ever cools down LOL. We have AC and I sit under a ceiling fan, so it isn't too bad crocheting in this weather. I have been given so much yarn that isn't the typical "baby" colors so have used a lot of colorful acrylic yarns. They are more fun to make too. The nurses commented on the bright colors in their Christmas thank you letter. |
wantoretire - very pretty! I am making scarves for a fair later this year mostly but a lady offered me some angora and silk on these big funnel's and of course I said yes : ) I am making a shrug from the angora for my sisters 40th b-day in December but not sure what to do with the silks... |
Very pretty blankets! I am trying to learn Cat Bohrdi's sweet tomato heel on that pair of socks. If I could sit down with no disctractions they would be done! It isn't hard, but like anything new to learn, it takes time and concentration. Tami |
I think I finally mastered the sweet tomato heel! I am working on the feet now. |
- Posted by vickey__mn (My Page) on Tue, Aug 28, 12 at 6:52
Tami, How do you like the heel? I am thinking of trying this on the current pair of socks I'm working on. I don't have the E-book, do you think I need that or is the youtube video good enough? |
Vickey, are the socks for you? If so, probably. I will tell you that if working from the cuff down, when you get to the 3rd wedge of the heel, after working a few rows, until there are about 2" between wraps, try them on. You may not need to go any further with the last heel wedge before going on to the foot. The heel is worked on 2/3 of the stitches. Give it a try before you buy the book and see if you can do it without. I went back and forth between the book and the video. I did a LOT of ripping out, and I do mean a LOT!I think I can do it now with out so much ripping, tho. |
I usually post to the cooking forum but have taken up knitting and crochet again in the past year after a lapse of about 20 years. I am not tackling anything very ambitious and I am working without patterns at the moment. I will 'graduate' soon to a pattern to make a baby jacket for a friend's grandson. My most recent projects have been hats and scarves, mostly hats. And one balaclava. I did make a couple of fun handbags for a couple of women friends for fun. They were both lined and had art glass beads. The navy blue one had a button hole in the flap that the glass pendant slipped through to keep the bag closed. Otherwise it's hat city here. Ski season is coming and my daughter is active in her college ski club. I'll post those later. Eileen |
Eileen, I love the blue one! I have some of those pendants. I never thought of using them like that. |
Thanks! The green one started out as a string market bag and then sort of grew into something else. I made it for someone who loves green. I don't know if she uses it or not. It was just a fun gift. The blue is probably more useful. Cute with jeans, I think. It's lined with a satin fabric in a sequin print. The pendant is heavy enough to hold the bag closed. It's almost 3 inches long. E |
Wantoretire_did: I love your pile of blankets. I inherited the stash of the mother of a long time friend. His wife doesn't do any needle work and his mother left several unfinished projects and bushels of yarn I will never use. I am going to donate it to the local yarn shop. They will give it to people who knitting and crochet for charity. I imagine it will become similar piles of pretty blankets. I will finish a couple of the projects and send them back to him as a thank you. Her skills were more advanced than mine so I will be somewhat challenged. E |
- Posted by wantoretire_did (My Page) on Thu, Sep 6, 12 at 5:10
Barnmom, your skills look pretty good to me :-) |
You are kind. I say her skills were more advanced because in a cursory look at the unfinished items I don't recognize some stitches as anything I've ever done. When I start in on those i will probably post photos here for help. There are two projects I will tackle and another I probably will not as it is barely begun. My pattern reading skills are very rusty. E |
Hi there I am working on my first Ripple. I just love how it work out as you go along. This is my second attemp, because I did not follow the pattern to the t and the result was sides that grow wider and wider. My husband did the honour to undo all my work that was almost just as far as I am now with this one. Enjoy whatever you are doing. Meidrie |
Who of you have crochet needles and when you look for one, that one is the one misplaced? Yesterday I make this handy roll using Tunisian Crochet as the crochet needles can slide in easy. |
Meidrie - Very pretty ripple afghan - very nice color. I would love to have the pattern for you 'hook keeper'. Great idea, Please share : ) I have found 3 really great deals at yard sales in the last 2 weeks. I purchased over 50 skeins (27 the same color) for $10 and a huge tote yesterday filled with 24 skeins of yarn, 2 cross stitch kits, a bundle of crochet hooks, 9 sets of knitting needles and 4 pattern books for $20 : ) Marie |
Meidrie, the mint ripple is very pretty. I had to look up Tunisian Crochet. Very clever. Now I need to do that stitch. It reminds me of the knitting stitch called "Linen." It looks like it might be less tedious, though. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Linen stitch.
wantoretire_did love your blankets what are the sizes?? I mostly crochet hats and now some simple scarves to go with them. I give them out at the VA hospital in the winter and keep some in the car to give to homeless guys on the road My mailmen and delivery guys get them too. It was a free pattern and so simple |
Love the camo beanie! What a nice thing to do. I usually hand out dollar bills and dog food. I found an unexpected home for all of my inherited yarn last night. I have a new friend who is having foot surgery this week and will need to be off of her feet completely for at least six weeks. She is an avid knitter and does a lot of charity knitting and this yarn is will work nicely for her. She was delighted to have it lot of it. Eileen |

Minnietx - I preferred square blankets when my boys were babies, so I usually make them that way. I try to get them to at least 28"x28". I get bored easily, so have to push myself to make them a little larger. ;-) Here's a link of recommended sizes for all ages. |

I just finished a 16x16 pet mat using elisamcs' pattern that she posted on the Lapghan Pattern Question thread. NO HOLES at all. She uses size "P" hook.

Thank you, barnmom. The pattern was from an old Workbasket magazine. My Mom never threw any of them out, and I've inherited them. The pattern is one of DC shells separated by SC. The blue shells go over the gold SC and the gold shells over the blue SC and then a row of white SC to separate them. The stitches were worked in either back or front loops only so the shells always had texture on one side. Then it was finished off with a shell trim around the border. |
I've been making hats/ little girl purses and cowls for a shop that sells it for me. I do hats for charity also. I love all the different hat patterns out there! My gr-daughters had to give their friends a hat... because they needed them... i was told! I'm glad they have caring hearts! |

She had made herself a beautiful scarf with beads on it (I've never done beads and I've been knitting for 40 years!) She made wonderful socks too. Fine yarns and needles....came out beautiful. |

She also made a scarf that was a mobius strip. I looked up on line and apparently there's this whole technique to doing mobius casting on and knitting to make these one sided scarves and shrugs. Very interesting.... |

A young friend of mine is getting married so I made her an afghan as a wedding present. I hope she'll like it! |
Lovely afghan! Do you have a link to the mobius strip scarf? I think my daughter would like one. Eileen |

I'm not sure which pattern she used, and there seems to be a number of different ways of knitting this. Here's a link to free patterns that may be helpful. |

I have 3 pair of socks done for Christmas. I HAD the entire cuff of another sock ready for the heel when I discovered that I had dropped 2 stitches about 2 rounds into the cuff. So that all got pulled out. I also have a mobius scarf ready to bind off for a gift. I found lots of mobius patterns on Ravelry. Tami |
Have any one you tried the Knifty Knitter looms? I do knit with needles but these sparked my interest. They come with 4 different sized plastic looms with pegs and a little tool to work them with. To date I have made and sold over 200 toboggan caps, and several scarves. Recently I tried making tube socks using the smallest loom. I have already sold 7 of the 8 pairs I have made. I am making them for in-door wear like house socks. These would work very well for those doing charity items because they are much faster than using needles. (at least for me)The items still have that hand-knitted look to them so they don't loose that appeal. I bought my set at Hobby Lobby but I think they also carry them at Michael's and Walmart, although they may be made by a different company. |

TRYING to learn to crochet all over again LOL. I made a vest when I was in high school (mid 70's). Was in Ben Franklin and saw free patterns for a crochet scarf so I took one. Started dc and kept messing up. Went online to see how a double crochet stitch was done. Turns out I was single crocheting LOL. Might learn one of these days. |

Barnmom, you've done it again - that scarf is gorgeous!! |
Thanks! It was knit on large needles so it went quickly but I hated the aluminum circular needles I was working with. They were ones I already had (a gift) so I used them rather than buy new bamboo ones in the right size. I cursed them silently and worked even faster to get it over with. ;) I don't knit with a pattern as I find them difficult to read and follow with my failing eyesight. I'll have to break down and use a pattern if I decide to make anything more complicated, though. Next up, another beanie! My daughter's friends have put in requests. Eileen |

I am working on a shawl called Winter's Mirage . Have got to the last row I can do since my yarn is almost finished. I don't have any more of it. Am waiting for a reply from the designer about what to do, rip back or what. |

I've been knitting forever and right now I am developing some ideas/patterns for working with inexpensive cotton worsted weight from Walmart--not everyone can afford the really nice yarns. One thing you can do with this stuff is to make knitted washcloths--not dishcloths--these are really very pleasant to use. What I am trying to do is work out patterns that allow for the way this yarn shrinks when machine washed and dried because who wants to hand block these utilitarian items? |
Hi, everyone! I haven't posted here in quite a while. My current project is a Bavarian crochet baby blanket. It is taking forEVER! LOL I am getting close to finishing though, so trying to keep at it a little every night. It looks pretty but is boring. It's a two-row stitch pattern of treble crochets, and since you start in the middle each row gets longer, and longer... :) I have some hand quilting and sewing projects I'd like to work on but am determined to finish this blanket first!

Thank you, Winter's Mirage was my first big lace project. The yarn was 100% baby alpaca yarn in a sport weight knitted with size 8 needles.. Spring's Dance is is Knit Picks yarn , Gloss Lace weight in the color Marina. Gloss Lace is 70% Merino wool and 30% silk. My first lace project in lace knitting was a cowl for my daughter-in-law , using the Gloss Lace and the Feather and Fan pattern on size 4 needle. My daughter-in law love it since she will not wear hats or scarves because they get blown off by the wind. This cowl wouldn't get blown off because it went over her head like a tube and then pulled back up and over her head to or hood like appearance. |
Beautiful work Daylilly! |

Vicky & Daylily, all of your projects are beautiful! It's been a while since I knitted lace. Still working on the Bavarian crochet...I have one round to go! LOL It calls for ending on the first row of the pattern so you get a straight edge, but DH & I both like the look of the pointed edge you get after the second row so I'm adding the one round I have left. I'll post a picture when it's done. :) Donna |

I had to stop working on Spring's Dance. My daughter wanted me to knit a baby blanket for one of her co-workers who is expecting a baby in Sept. So I am working on the baby blanket using a pattern in a book of afghans but using smaller needle and only one strand of yarn. |
This is a purse I finished using soda can pop-tabs. I crocheted the panels together using a black nylon fiber. I am enjoying the double-take looks I get when people realize what it is made from, Each tab also has a bead attached to it. It gives a very unique look. It's my own pattern. I like doing one-of-a-kind items. |

"People, not the government, are the only ones who have the right to make intimate decisions about their lives."
This line, or a version of it, was repeated so often at Planned Parenthood Illinois Action's Roe v. Wade Anniversary Celebration on January 24, the event could have been mistaken for a rally of a very different political persuasion.
Of course, since in this case, "people" means "women," and "decisions" means "health care," the above statement is a progressive rallying cry rather than a Libertarian dogma. And sadly, it's become a partisan position rather than an inalienable American truth. As Planned Parenthood Illinois Action Vice President Pam Sutherland noted about conservatives (including all the current Republican presidential hopefuls except Mitt Romney) who want to redefine life as beginning at the moment of conception: "They all want a Personhood Amendment, but they forgot that women are persons."
The event, co-hosted by Bill Marovitz, Fay Clayton and Laura Tucker at Carnivale restaurant, marked Roe v. Wade's 39th anniversary, and as most of the speakers during the evening pointed out, it's been a rough year for women's right to choose. In 2011, state legislatures passed a grand total of 92 measures that cease or limit a woman's access to safe abortion services and full reproductive healthcare; this easily sails past 2005's record of 34 anti-choice measures passed. In Illinois, some of these bills were assigned not to the Human Services Committee, but to the Agriculture Committee.
"We have never, ever seen a year like 2011," noted Carole Brite, CEO and president of Planned Parenthood Illinois Action, citing specifically Sen. Jon Kyl's public assertion that abortion services are "90 percent" of Planned Parenthood's work – a claim that was later defended with the now infamous "not intended to be a factual statement" disclaimer – and the threat to shut down the federal government over funding of Planned Parenthood. (As we all know by now, abortions account for 3 percent of what Planned Parenthood does, with the bulk of their services focused on testing and treatment of STIs, cancer screenings and prevention, and contraceptives. Here at home, Planned Parenthood Illinois services 75,000 women in 17 centers throughout Illinois; abortion services are offered at five of those clinics.)
"The main purpose [of these measures] is to take away basic medical care for women, often the women who can least afford it," Ms. Brite noted, before observing that the Republican presidential candidates seem to be "jockeying to see who can be the worst for women and women's rights."
Marcena Love, who joined the Chicago Area Planned Parenthood Association Board of Directors in 1966 and founded Personal PAC in 1978, accepted the Dr. Marvin Rosner Award for Lifetime Achievement. In her remarks, she commented on observing birth control evolve into a partisan issue. After all, she pointed out, it was Republican President Nixon who declared birth control a national issue and signed into law Title X of the Public Health Service Act, which guaranteed access to contraceptives regardless of income and pledged funding to research for contraceptive development. "How times have changed," she observed. "Being pro-choice means respecting women as moral, ethical beings. Being pro-choice means women, not the government, get to make decisions about their lives. Being pro-choice means that when and if to bear a child is a deeply personal choice…Losing women's reproductive rights is only an election away."
That theme was continued by State Sen. Heather Steans, who accepted the Richard J. Phelan Profile in Courage Award for her work in sponsoring and passing a bill through the State Senate that requires Illinois public school teachers to include age-appropriate and medically accurate information, including information about contraceptives as well as abstinence, in sex education materials.
That passing such a bill is controversial and partisan is "truly absurd," Sen. Steans said in her comments. She noted that, on the heels of reports of women being arrested for obtaining abortions, it's more important than ever to educate younger generations about the struggle for and importance of reproductive rights. "Women's ability to have as many kids as they want, when they want, without interference from the government, is a right that must be protected."
And the way to protect that right, the evening's speakers noted repeatedly, is to elect pro-choice candidates, both in the Illinois primary on March 20 and the general election on November 6. A list of pro-choice candidates can be found on Planned Parenthood Illinois Action's website.
"We cannot let the Illinois General Assembly treat women like livestock ever again," noted Ms. Sutherland. And as Ms. Love asserted, voting for pro-choice candidates does not mean that one is a single-issue voter. "[Voting for pro-choice candidates] says something about what the voter thinks about women and women's rights," she said.
And as anti-choice candidates continue to move further and further from the mainstream consensus on issues of reproductive health and contraceptives, their position makes a statement on their views on women's autonomy, and on a woman's right to obtain medically sound healthcare that is based on the recommendations of her doctor, rather than the misinformation of ideology.

"It was a very active weekend," said Sgt. Curtis Prosise of the Chico Police Department.
A total of 62 arrests were made from 12:46 p.m. Thursday until noon Sunday, almost double that of the previous weekend, Prosise said.
Of the alcohol-related calls to police, six involved suspected drunk driving, eight reported fights, 15 gave noise ordinance/ party complaints and there were 11 drunk-in-public calls.
Seven reports of drunk in public occurred Saturday night and early Sunday morning within 9:42 p.m. and 3:06 a.m.
Many taken into custody were transported to Butte County Jail's "drunk tank," where they are given time to sober up in a detoxification period, which typically lasts around six hours, Prosise said.
"They have to be unable to care for themselves or others due to their level of intoxication or impairment with drugs; it doesn't necessarily need to be alcohol," he said.
Once sober, a vast majority of drunk-in-public cases are dropped, unless they become habitual.
Officers also broke up several fights this weekend, including one reported early Sunday morning involving a male stabbed in the abdomen and right thumb.
Enloe Medical Center staff said the man was on the railroad tracks that neighbor Chico State, near West Sacramento Avenue, when the fight occurred, Prosise said.

Background: Electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria for the diagnosis of posterior wall infarction (PWI) traditionally include R/S ratio in leads V1 or V2 > 1 and R wave duration in V1 ³ 40 ms in the absence of right axis deviation. In addition, the direction of T-wave in V1 and V2 was also found to be useful for the diagnosis of PWI. However, limited studies are available that assessed these criteria.
We conducted a retrospective analysis of 84 patients and correlated the standard ECG criteria for the diagnosis of PWI to the presence of inferobasal wall infarction (IBWI) using 99mTc Sestamibi SPECT myocardial perfusion imaging. We reviewed standard 12-lead ECG performed within 2 days of the stress test. We excluded patients with ventricular paced rhythm, bundle branch block, pre-excitation syndrome, and left ventricular hypertrophy. An experienced observer assessed the presence of IBWI qualitatively.
Result: There were a total of 84 patients. The mean age was 65±15 years. Fifty-seven were male (68%), 39(46%) had resting perfusion defects in the inferobasal wall and 45(54%) had normal perfusion (NP) studies. The most common indication for the stress test was evaluation for presence of coronary artery disease.
The R/S ratio in lead V1 is < 1 in 100% and 98% of patients with and without IBWI, respectively. Among patients with NP, the mean R/S ratio in lead V1 was 0.09±0.36 as compared to 0.18±0.39 among patients with IBWI (p=NS). The mean R/S ratio in lead V2 was 0.72±0.85 in patients with NP and 0.69±0.86 for patients with IBWI (p=NS). In addition, R wave duration in lead V1 were same in both groups (0.02±0.01 msec, p=NS). The R wave durations in lead V2 were 0.034±0.014 msec and 0.032±0.012 msec in patients with and without IBWI, p=NS. Compared to patients with NP, majority of patients with IBWI had upright T wave in V1 (74% vs. 31%, p<0.001) and V2 (97% vs. 76%, p=0.004).
Sensitivity and Specificity of ECG Criteria for the Diagnosis of IBWI
Sensitivity / Specificity
V1 R duration ³0.04 msec 31% / 64%
V2 R duration ³0.04 msec 59% / 36%
V1 T wave upright 74% / 69%
V2 T wave upright 97% / 24%
Conclusion: Based on our data, the established ECG criteria of V1 or V2 R/S ratio > 1 or R wave duration in lead V1 or V2 has low sensitivity for the diagnosis of IBWI. However, the presence of an upright T wave in V1 is the best ECG criterion for the diagnosis of IBWI.

Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
Big Picture or Big Gaps? Why Natural Theology is better than Intelligent Design
Do we see God because of design, or do we see design because of God?
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Understanding John Polkinghorne, Part 2
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
