WITI offers Thanksgiving forecast for today - Dec. 11
Last week, it was WTMJ-TV (Channel 4) which asked viewers to weigh in on its poll: "Do we need more fun control?"
Today, it's WITI-TV (Channel 6), which, when offering its holiday forecast, chose the wrong holiday - as the graphic below demonstrates. Also notice: weather guy Rob Haswell as being "in the studio" and anchors Nicole Koglin and Kim Murphy on the "weather deck." »Read Full Blog Post

Beyonce lives up to hype with fierce Super Bowl halftime set
Has there ever been a 12-minute set as hyped as Beyoncé's Super Bowl halftime show Sunday? The widely publicized press conference, the Destiny's Child reunion rumors, the bold promise of live singing after that lip-synching scandal at Barack Obama's inauguration. Was there any possibility whatsoever it could live up to expectations—especially since the vast majority of Super Bowl halftime shows are bloated, ultimately forgettable diversions?
Danceworks program explores delights of 'Serendipity'
"Serendipity" is high on the list of great words we don't seem to use often enough.
Exploring the word's dictionary definition of "happy accident" or "pleasant surprise" with modern dance, the Danceworks Performance Company and a handful of guest artists built a delightful evening of dance around the word.

Next Act's 'Clockmaker' has strong acting, too many gears
We can't turn back the clock. But can we mend what's broken, reconstructing the past's shattered pieces so that we might keep on ticking into the future?
That's the question - or one of them - in Stephen Massicotte's "The Clockmaker," the 100-minute play that Next Act Theatre unveiled over the weekend, under Mary MacDonald Kerr's direction. »Read Full Article

We love them! What can be more enchanting than our little friends that are always near us (even when they are not so little)? They are so lovely and pretty that it is impossible to pass by them without a smile. Their behavior makes us puzzled sometimes, but we try to understand them and find some ways of communication. Their trust and devotion are worth admiration and the huge portion of love that we give them. Be sure that our life will be dull and faded of colors without their sometimes even crazy tricks. We can look for hours at them and enjoy playing with them and it will never become boring. They are full of exuberant energy and are always ready for something tricky. We adore them and it is true!
The amusing photos of animals playing with the balls are presented in this post. Enjoy this lovely collection full of good humour!

Epic Astromech droid "Artoo" is one of the most famous characters from the world-famous saga "Star Wars". This robot has become a great source of inspiration for many talented designers and craftsmen. There's no need to search for the reasons of such popularity because there is only one logic explanation for all this madness – R2D2 is a one god damn charismatic machine and people just can't resist the temptation to become a part of it. We've gathered a small collection of the most original designs and mods based on the original R2D2. And it looks like this little guy's appearance can be applied to any sphere of our life and here are the proofs.

Oh those were the days! Early stages of Space Age were a great source of inspiration for many artists. The Googie style in architecture and interior designs, and of course the "space culture" in automotive design – that's only a couple of spheres affected by Space euphoria of that epoch.
The concept designs below reflect the best design trends of the early "Space Age" – using tailspins, small wings and other aerodynamic elements that were allegedly borrowed from the space engineering. We can't call these cars extremely beautiful but they are surely essential parts of a design history that are worth being honored. Despite all weird forms and rather futuristic styles, the Fabulous 50′s gave many awesome legendary cars – from Cadillac Eldorado 62 to Ford Fairlane and Chevy Bel-Air.
This collection is our tribute to all those designers that were brave enough to create extraordinary and controversial things because this is the right way to make something really unique and elegant.

Today we present you the most awesome of them (from our point of view). This post shows various examples of bridges: the old and the modern concepts, footbridges and rail-and-road bridges, swing bridges, floating bridges, hanging bridges etc. Let's browse them!

Do you love cartoons? We are sure you do. It is one of the best parts of our childhood – just watching "Transformers" or some crazy TV series from Nickelodeon for countless hours. Of course everyone has their own favorite characters and episodes. Our collection mostly consists of those good old legendary cartoons from the period of early 80's to present time. Some of these beautiful girls (well, they're not all actually girls but still we love them all) remind us of those good old days when the cartoons were made in a traditional way. Of course today's 3D animation is really spectacular and well-performed but sometimes we miss that spirit of hand-drawn elegance and charm.
Below you'll find our version of the top ten female characters from famous cartoons. We understand that tastes differ and will be glad to hear your variant of this list. These cartoons were the role models for many kids from all over the world and still are. So enjoy this list and maybe you'll find your favorite one here.

A Coward And Liar Can Go Away Now, Forever
He is a liar. He is a cheat. And now, as he fades from public life and hopefully never tries to slink back, Alex Rodriguez is a coward as well. There was a chance to regain a smidgen of our curiosity, if never our respect, if he and his exorbitantly priced legal team had proceeded to expose the suspicious inner workings of Major League Baseball, as Camp A-Rod had threatened for months.
Just as Jose Canseco taught us about the performance-enhancing-drugs culture in his tell-all book -- in retrospect, he should have won a Pulitzer Prize -- Rodriguez and his bulldogs could have shown how Bud Selig's men used mob-like tactics to nail him and other wrongdoers in the Biogenesis scandal. Any insight that can educate the public about MLB's role in the never-ending PED era is productive, remembering the complicit, turn-our-heads stance once taken by Selig and the owners before TV lined their pockets with sick money and Selig realized he had to go hard-line against PEDs to save his legacy before retirement.
``Vigilante justice,'' Camp A-Rod cried.
``Witch hunt,'' Camp A-Rod cried.
Hell, Rodriguez even stormed out of a hearing over the terms of his original 211-game suspension, took a limo to a New York sports-talk station, went on the air and said the entire process was rigged. He vowed to have more to say, much more.
In the end, Rodriguez only was telling us another lie. Of course, he had no chance legally of overturning what was reduced to a 162-game ban, but he and his boys still could have aired dirty laundry about the MLB mechanism. Instead, he decided to end a costly legal soap opera and stop fighting his new reality of a muddled life: As the one who got caught, promised to never use PEDs again, only to get caught a second time, he is the slimiest of all steroids villains. As he said in speaking to reporters last month in Mexico, he plans to ``rest physically, mentally and to prepare for the future and to start a new chapter of my life.''
The good news is, that chapter will not be in Florida, where it was thought he might try to exacerbate the madness and attend Yankees' camp. He's leaving behind his former team in peace, knowing he has lost all but $2.86 million of his $25 million salary for 2014. That money has been funneled to a much-needed pitcher, Masahiro Tanaka, as the Yankees try to move forward and save face while the rival Boston Red Sox defend their third World Series title in 10 years.
Problem is, thanks to the albatross $275-million deal they gave him for 10 seasons, Rodriguez still has three years left when he is eligible to return next year. Rather than have him cause headaches at 39 and into his 40s, when he will be an aging and perhaps useless shell of his former dominant self, the Yankees likely will have no choice to pay off the remaining $61 million.
Let's hope they do. Because I speak for a weary nation in saying no dirty athlete -- Lance Armstrong, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Marion Jones, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa -- makes us reach for the vomit bag as readily as Alex Rodriguez.

Have RV Questions? Ask an RV Mechanic Online.
Hi There!!!
Thanks for Choosing Just Answer...
The slide room will have a flange on the outside all the way around the room on the outside, some use a gasket that has metal in the gasket and this is forced over the flange so the seal will go on, other types will stick right to the flange. The hard part about doing this repair is access. IF you have an awning the room will have to come out about three feet and the awning will have to be pinned, pinning the awning keeps the tension on the awning, if you try to remove the arms the tension will come off and you could get injured. After the awning is pinned you can then remove the arms and put the awning on the roof... Then you can remove the old gasket, some are one continued piece, others are cut at 45 degree angles and glued together so pay attention of the corners. The new swipe seal will stick over the flange or pinch onto the flange. What I do is clean the flange really good then start at one bottom and work my way up to the corner, I have actually made a tool to help press on the style with the metal in it, You can use something plastic that will get in between the slide room and flange and gently pry, I would practice with a small piece first until you get the hang of it.You can use a glue like super glue to glue the corners if you have to.
The strip you are talking about most likely is a non skid tape, this will help flip the seal and should be place at a angle across the room... This works well to flip the seal but will put more abuse on the seal, so I would only use it if you have to.... I hope this helps if you have any other questions or concerns please feel free to contact me...
Thank You!!!! Please hit ACCEPT for my efforts, Positive feedback and BONUS welcomed!!!
Makes it allot easier if you do not have awnings.... IF you have the pinch style gasket (I always call it swipe seal) with the metal inside the seal it can be difficult to get it on the flange around the slide room, you have to push really hard to get it on properly. Sometimes because of access you can not get your fingers in between the slide room and flange, SO you can use something to help assist the seal on, plastic will not damage the paint and it will have to be solid enough to push the seal on the flange. What I would do is practice with a small section until you feel comfortable enough doing the entire room. Also I have found if you spray some 409 or glass cleaner it will also help when you are pushing the seal on. You might have access to push the seal on and you would not need something to assist you.. Hope that makes sense..
Thank You!! Please hit ACCEPT for my efforts, Positive feedback and BONUS welcomed!!!!

> Glock 36 opinions?
May 20, 2004, 12:50 PM
I can't get a 30 in this state or afford the used. We can get new Glocks now -- though not all -- but this is one of the can do guns. How good is the Glock 36?

I haven't fired mine much, only about 300 rounds so far. Mine doesn't like the Winchester White Box ammo, had multiple FTF/FTE with it. I switched to using some Federal, PMC, Golden Sabers, etc. (more expensive stuff) and I haven't had a failure since.
I found that the short grip caused a little more muzzle flip than I wanted so I put a finger extension on one of the magazines and had much better control.
Accuracy was OK for me with about 8 out of 10 (on average) going into the 8, 9, 10 ring at 25 yards. From 7 yards I could keep it in the 9 and 10 even with double taps.
It's definitely "Glockish" in that it's easy to field strip, easy to clean, grip isn't as comfortable (to me) as some other models but still comfortable enough. I find it very easy to conceal and carry all day long even IWB which I typically have trouble with (expanding middle).
I prefer to G17/G19/G26 line from Glock but the G36 is a nice little shooter.
May 20, 2004, 02:18 PM
Edited. Post too long.
May 20, 2004, 03:33 PM
You might run a search on "G-36". This comes up a lot (and has come up in the last couple of weeks). Also, you might go check out Glock Talk's Big Dawgs board.
I like my G-36 a lot. It's as thin as a 1911 with thin grips, and it works. However, there are a number of folks out there who don't see any reason to get a G-36 as long as G-30s are available. I would tell you that I haven't found a thing wrong with the Glock 36, and I rely on mine.
May 20, 2004, 11:01 PM
I had one, loved it, but it had just way too much recoil for me, so I sold it and bought a 1911.
Glock disassembly is awe-inspiring in its ease. It was damn accurate and a joy to carry concealed. But like I said, just way too light for 230 JHPs.
May 20, 2004, 11:08 PM
I just got my G36 and so far I am very happy with it. I personaly feel that the G30 is much to fat. I think that the size of the G36 is perfect for its intended mission. Mine so far has been perfect with WWB ammo. I do not think you can go wrong with the G36.
May 21, 2004, 07:11 AM
Stock baseplates on the mags will probably pinch you, but the Plus 0 baseplates eliminate most of that.
I've only got about 300 rounds through mine, but it loves Win. White box, and Wolf.
I haven't carried it yet, but it is light, and recoils less than my Colt Defender did. (To me)
I also thought the G30 was too fat, but the G36 seems to fit me just right.
May 21, 2004, 08:22 AM
The G36 is what I carry when I'm not hoofing a J-frame .357.
After a slight foopah with an extended slide stop release, the installation of which caused much consternation, gnashing of teeth and jams, before I learned that the part was inconsistant with the G36 design and switched it back to stock, I have had nothing but success with the weapon!!
I took it to the range last Saturday and put another 100 flawless rounds through it. :D
Mine has Trijicon night sights, minus connector, reduced power trigger spring, and is currently loaded with 185gr Silver Tip.
I have found, however, the it has feed problems with Cor-Bon ammo.
But, I understand that it is a common malady with the gun.
I would not recommend firing to many +P rounds through it, 'cause yer hand is gunna hurt afterward!! ;)
As touching holsters, I have carried it on the ankle, pocket, belt and IWB. The Bianchi Black Widow, covered with a loose t-shirt is my prefered method of carry.
Magazines can be had from Ivanhoe's Warehouse Outlet for $16 ea. with free shipping when you buy two or more.
The '36 is on the right and the '30 is on the left.
May 21, 2004, 10:18 AM
My 36 had such a crappy trigger pull, I'd get a charleyhorse in my hand just emptying one magazine.
However, I added a Ghost trigger connector, and did the Flitz trigger job http://www.alpharubicon.com/mrpoyz/glock/
Made a TREMENDOUS difference.
May 21, 2004, 02:21 PM
I have over two thousand rounds through mine. Some early bobbles but very reliable now. I don't carry (I live in SoCal) but if I did it would certainly be on my short list. Lots of firepower in a light, slim pistol I trust. It's not a gun for extended range sessions, however, but what light pistol is? Powerful, reliable, easy to maintain, durable. You should try one to see what you think of the recoil; I don't think it's that bad, although stiffer, for sure, than, say, the G26. Recommended.

School for Social Care Research
The NIHR School for Social Care Research (SSCR) aims to increase the evidence-base for adult social care practice. The SSCR undertakes high-quality primary research and provides a focus for applied research in social care within the NIHR. The location of the School within the NIHR is recognition of the significant contribution that social care makes to the nation's health.
Intellectual Focus
The SSCR will undertake primary research in the adult social care sector in England. It will cover the delivery of social care by professional and non-professional staff working in both statutory and independent sectors. It will include research by social care professionals as well as academics, and encourage the active involvement of service users and their carers.
Professional social work will be a major focus, but it will not be the sole disciplinary resource for the School. Its work will need to draw on a wide range of academic disciplines and methodologies, including those typically under-applied to the social care context, yet central to understanding its operation.
SSCR membership
The current SSCR is a partnership between six leading academic centres of social care research in England:
London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
University of Manchester
University of York
University of Kent
Kings College London
University of Kent.
The leaders of each form the School Executive and an Advisory Board, chaired Professor Randall Smith from the University of Bristol, works closely with the School Executive to develop business plans, including proposals for research programmes.
Following an open competition to renew and refresh Membership of the School in the summer of 2013, the Membership of the SSCR from May 2014 to April 2019 has been confirmed as:
University of Bristol
University of Kent
University of Manchester
University of York
London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)

Average family can expect same tax from Obama, unknown from Romney
Taxes are never simple, but here's the bottom line: The median household in Wisconsin is looking at similar taxes under President Barack Obama's proposals but no complete answer on their taxes from his opponent, Mitt Romney.
Going forward, Obama would treat the median Wisconsin family with income of $51,600 a year the same as they are now treated in almost every respect, but would raise taxes on higher income earners. For Romney, the question of how the median income family in the state fares isn't nearly as easy to answer, because a key part of his tax plan hasn't been revealed and likely won't be until after the election, if he's elected.
The question of how the two candidates would handle taxes is more than academic - at the end of this year, several major tax cuts are set to expire, and the question of whether to renew them or allow them to end has big implications for both taxpayers and the national debt.
"The answer is very easy on Obama's side and very hard on Romney's side," said Roberton Williams, a senior fellow at the independent Tax Policy Center in Washington, D.C.
That's left Democrats, and to a lesser extent the Tax Policy Center, to argue that Romney's plan could actually raise taxes on both middle- and low-income families. The Romney campaign has strongly denied that but not given the specifics of the tax plan that might settle the question.
Voters of any income range may still identify with one of the candidates over another, either because they believe his plan will spur job growth and the economy in the country overall or because they expect their income to rise or fall in the future.
For instance, a highly paid worker might have concerns about losing her job, or a more middle-income voter might consider the effects on their taxes from selling a longtime vacation or rental property that in a single year could create a large capital gain. Dale Knapp, research director for the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance, said it's worth considering how life events can affect a person's income and taxes.
"People don't think about that. They think about where they are now," Knapp said.
First, here's where the two candidates agree.
Both Obama and Romney would keep in place the tax cuts for low- and middle-income families that were approved by Congress and President George W. Bush in 2001 and 2003.
There is one respect in which Obama would change how a median income family in Wisconsin is currently treated on taxes, but in this he is no different from Romney. Both Obama and Romney would allow a 2% payroll tax cut on taxpayers' income of up to roughly $110,000 to expire at the end of this year. That tax cut was passed by Obama and Congress originally for just 2011 and then extended for 2012.
Here's where the candidates differ.
To help address the national deficit, Obama would allow the Bush tax cuts to phase out at the end of this year for couples making more than $250,000 annually or $200,000 for adults filing alone. That group accounts for 2% of taxpayers but a much larger share of the nation's income, according to the Tax Policy Center.
The president also supports having people who make at least $1 million a year pay at least a 30% income tax rate.
Obama would retain three targeted tax credits for low- and middle-income workers, particularly those with children, that were part of the economic stimulus legislation that he passed with Congress in 2009 and are set to expire at the end of this year:
The American Opportunity Tax Credit raises to $2,500 from $1,800 the maximum education tax credit for college and makes it partially refundable, which means that low-income people who don't pay any income taxes could still benefit from it.
An increase in the refundable Earned Income Tax Credit for low-income working families, which is aimed at rewarding work and which can go to qualifying tax filers who do not pay income tax.
Provisions that make it easier for low-income families to qualify for tax credits to offset the cost of raising a child. Those credits are once again partially refundable.
The first credit could benefit both low- and middle-income families in Wisconsin. The other two provisions would be aimed at lower-income workers.
"President Obama has already cut middle-class taxes to benefit every working family, saving a typical Wisconsin family earning $51,600 almost $3,700 during his first term," the Obama campaign said in a statement. "In contrast, Mitt Romney would take us back to the top-down economics that failed us in the past."
The $3,700 figure includes savings from the so-called Making Work Pay credit, which gave taxpayers a refundable credit of up to $800 for married couples and $400 for individual filers in both 2009 and 2010.
To boost the nation's struggling economy, Romney would renew all of the Bush tax cuts, including those for the wealthiest Americans. Romney has proposed several tax cuts worth about $456 billion in 2015 that could benefit in part the median-income family in Wisconsin, but it's unclear whether those would be offset by the still undisclosed parts of his plan.
Romney has said he would:
Cut marginal tax rates by 20% across the board.
Eliminate taxes on interest, dividends and capital gains for taxpayers earning less than $200,000 a year for couples and $100,000 a year for individuals.
End the estate tax and the alternate minimum tax, which is an income tax that can apply to certain individuals and companies with high enough earnings and tax deductions.
The first two items particularly could benefit a middle-income family.
"Mitt Romney understands that the last thing we should be doing right now is raising taxes on the middle class and on job creators. As president, Mitt Romney will lower individual tax rates by 20 percent across the board and implement long-term, permanent tax reform," the Romney campaign said in a statement.
However, Romney wants his overall tax policies to keep steady the amount of taxes collected by the federal government, and has also said he wants to avoid harming investors. That introduces a possible catch.
To make up for the cuts above, Romney wants to simplify the tax code and end various tax exemptions and deductions but hasn't said which ones he would eliminate. Some of those exemptions are used by middle-income taxpayers, such as the home mortgage interest deduction, the charitable giving deduction, the exclusion for employer-provided health insurance and the deductions for state income and local property taxes.
The effect of ending some exemptions could be significant. An analysis by the Tax Policy Center has found that under Romney's plan, taxpayers making more than $200,000 a year would receive more money in the tax cuts already proposed by Romney than could be made up for by ending deductions for those taxpayers without affecting exemptions for investment.
That would mean Romney would either have give up some aspect of his plan, such as keeping overall revenue steady, which would add to the deficit, or he would have to raise taxes on lower- and middle-income taxpayers by eliminating some of their deductions.
Romney has so far clarified his plans only a little. But his campaign has said the tax center's study is flawed and partisan, making improper assumptions about what he would do as president.

Behind the scenes
Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock ("Super Size Me") directs "One Direction: This is Us," a filmed concert and tour documentary about the UK-based boy band. Spurlock talked about the film.
"They're very fun. I think they're incredibly grounded considering the amount of crazy that's surrounding their lives on a daily basis. I think that was one of the things that I really liked about them."
"They've given really insightful feedback about things that are very personal to them ... to things that they remembered that we shot that we have forgotten about, and to remind us to dig and find. It was like, 'Oh my gosh, you're right, that was a great moment.'"
"They were really open and honest with us about their lives, their fears, about the things going on with them and let us come into their world."

Stephen Kiernan's debut novel satisfies thrilling 'Curiosity'
Published in 1818, Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein" imagined the possibility of science re-animating dead matter, and the themes in her masterpiece have been as enduring as the Hollywood images of a block-headed, neck-bolted monster. What are the moral responsibilities of our scientific capabilities? Just because we can, should we?
Like Shelley's novel, Stephen P. Kiernan's intriguing debut, "The Curiosity," begins in the Arctic, where scientist Kate Philo leads an expedition to find the perfect "hard-ice" from which to re-animate single-cell life forms. The funding for the expedition comes from Erastus Carthage, a monomaniacal media-savvy genius who appoints Daniel Dixon, a lecherous mediocre journalist, to document the project. »Read Full Article

'Flashdance' musical doesn't have much feeling, or fun
The movie "Flashdance" begins as Jennifer Beals' Alex pedals through a lovingly presented Pittsburgh at sunrise. That bicycle is quirky, as is the time Alex takes to scratch a kitten before setting off — filled with hope that a new day is coming for a dancer moving forward in her own offbeat way.
In the disappointing musical "Flashdance" that landed with a thud at the Marcus Center Tuesday night, we begin in Alex's dreary steel mill, where a search for gravitas means a lengthy backstory about recession and cutbacks — one of many places where this musical unsuccessfully attempts to channel "Billy Elliot." »Read Full Article(4)

Did Obama Kill Public Option in July?
Paul Hogarth: President Obama has been justifiably slammed for not pushing hard enough for a public option, but the truth may be even worse than that. We know the White House cut a deal with hospitals and insurance companies last July on prescription drugs – but as a New York Times reporter said this week, they also killed the public option. And given the public option's inexplicable fate, I have to believe the story.

Read an Excerpt
By Neil T. Anderson
RegalCopyright © 2003 Neil T. Anderson
All right reserved.
Chapter One
After speaking at a church, a middle-aged lady said, "You've described me to a tee. I've struggled for years and can't break free from my problems." After many years of fruitless counseling, she had decided to admit herself to a treatment center.
I asked if I could see her first, because I knew the treatment center that had been recommended to her relied primarily on prescription medication. The night before her admission, she had an encounter with God as I helped her resolve her personal and spiritual conflicts. When we were finished, I said, "I really don't believe that you need the hospitalization program, but if you do admit yourself, write me a letter in a week and let me know how things are going." A few days later, I received this note:
I'll let you know how I'm doing in a week or so, but I just had to share my joy while it's still fresh and new. After meeting with you Monday night, I was absolutely euphoric, and so was my husband. He was so glad to see me happy. But the best news is that I didn't wake up with nightmares or screams. Instead, I woke up with my heart singing, and the very first thought that entered my mind was "even the stones will cry out," followed by "Abba, Father." Nell, the Holy Spirit is alive in me. Praise the Lord.
I'm now in this treatment center. It's been a tremendous adjustment. There are so many truly hurting people here. I just wish I could bring you here to meet with all of them and set them free, too. There's one woman in particular who appears to be evil personified. She verbally attacked me the very first day.
Thank you, Nell, for having the courage to free God's people from the grip of the enemy. I can't begin to tell you how free I feel, but somehow I think you know.
I wish I could say that the doctors and counselors at the secular treatment center reinforced what the Lord had done in this dear lady, but they did not. Can a decision to be submissive and dependent on God be reversed by a program that encourages self-reliance and dependency on medication? Can three hours of biblical counsel be nullified by three weeks of godless counsel? In this case it did. This woman became dependent on prescription medications and the counsel of her secular doctors who advised her not to seek any other kind of treatment, and she did not-for fear of losing their support.
Is there no value in secular programs? Can the Christian learn anything from the world? Is truth restricted to biblical revelation only? Does empirical research (experimentation and observation) refute, undermine, contradict, subvert or destroy our confidence in Scripture? Are the natural sciences on a collision course with divine revelation, or are they potentially an important and necessary ally? Is secular psychology nothing more than worldly "wisdom," and potentially a tool of the enemy? Is there a biblical psychology that must be understood and embraced by all Christians? How do we know what is true, real, relevant and right?
Let us consider these questions as we examine how theology can, or cannot, be integrated with empirical research.
The Scope and Limits of Integration
First, let us lay some groundwork by looking at how God reveals Himself and His will to us. Theologians have identified three means of divine revelation.
General Revelation
General revelation is what can be observed and studied in nature. Psalm 19:1 reads, "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands." Romans 1:20 says, "For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen." Paul goes on to say that we will not be excused from knowing that there is a God, because the existence, work and nature of God can be understood by observing His created order. As we observe creation, the "natural" response should be to worship the creator.
However, the fallen inhabitants of this world did not honor God. "They exchanged the truth of God for a lie" (v. 25). Even though they suffered the negative consequences of believing a lie, they still would not honor Him. Consequently, "God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women [and men] exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural" (v. 26; see also v. 27). Finally "God gave them over to a depraved mind" (v. 28), which is a mind devoid of logic. If this truth could be applied to a nation, then our country is on the brink of that final judgment. Political correctness has replaced divine revelation, and we seem to have lost our moral compass. There is growing evidence that many can no longer distinguish between right and wrong (a depraved mind has no conscience).
The concept of general revelation has led many biblical ethicists to coin the term "natural law." Proponents of natural law reason that God has built into the universe a sense of justice and morality. Because God created order in the universe, there is a natural way that humanity should live with one another. For instance, it is unnatural for a man to be with another man sexually. God created men to be with women sexually and live together in complementary relationships.
The evidence of natural law can be observed by studying pagan societies that have no biblical knowledge of God and His ways. They seem to collectively "know" or socially agree that acts such as killing, stealing and lying are wrong, and they cluster together in family units. Every society has agreed upon certain standards of right and wrong that are generally consistent with biblical morality, even though individuals fail to live up to their own standards.
In a pagan society like ours, natural law may be the only acceptable basis for discussing moral issues in the public settings and courts of law. Standing in front of an abortion clinic and proclaiming the truth from the Word of God concerning the sanctity of life will not be received by those who do not know the Lord. They would simply respond by saying, "I don't believe in God or the Bible." That is the end of the argument, since they have a different standard by which they live and we cannot impose our standards or them.
The truth spoken in love ma) bring conviction leading to con version, but it will not have an immediate effect upon the laws o our land. Why? Because the Bible is not accepted in our courts of law as the standard for morality. The Constitution of the United States, is the basis by which the courts of our land mete out justice. Bur what argument does an unregenerate person have against an honest doctor or geneticist who can demonstrate on the basis of natural law that an unborn child is fully human at conception and is therefore guaranteed protection under the Constitution?
Catholic ethicists have placed a greater emphasis on natural law than Protestants have. I personally think we need to incorporate the concept of natural law into more of our thinking. Natural law is never on a collision course with Scripture. It actually illustrates in creation what God has said in His Word. Science is an attempt to understand what God has created.
Special Revelation
Special revelation refers to the written Word of God. Protestants limit special revelation to the 66 canonical books divided into the Old Testament (39 books) and the New Testament (27 books). The Old Testament records the creation and fall of humanity, the relationship that God had with His people based on the promises of the Abrahamic covenant (see Gen. 12:1-3), and the law of the Mosaic covenant (see Exod. 24:8). The New Testament reveals God's answer for fallen humanity by recording the life, death, burial and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ and how God now relates to His people under the New Covenant (see Jer. 31:31-34; Matt. 26:28; Heb. 10:16-17).
Ultimate Revelation
Jesus Christ is the ultimate revelation of God. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (John 1:1). Jesus alone perfectly reveals who God is because He is God. "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth" (v. 14). The glory of God is a manifestation of His presence. Jesus said, "If you knew Me, you would know My Father also" (John 8:19). "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30). "He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (John 14:9).
The Key to Understanding
These three channels of revelation are the means by which God has revealed Himself and made His will known to us. None of these channels will be understood or effective in our lives apart from the present work of the Holy Spirit. He is first and foremost "the Spirit of truth" (John 14:17). The Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth (see 16:13), and that truth will set us free (see John 8:32). Fallen humanity cannot even know the liberating truth of God's Word, because "a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised" (1 Cor. 2:14). "Even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving" (2 Cor. 4:3-4).
Fully understanding and appropriating the liberating truth of God's Word cannot be divorced from the reality of the spiritual world. We need the liberating power of the Holy Spirit and a means to protect ourselves from the destructive strategies of Satan. The real battle on planet Earth is between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of light. This battle between the father of lies and the Spirit of truth is rough primarily in the minds of all humanity. Nobody is excluded from the battle. Even believers must choose to take "every thought captive to the obedience of Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5), and they must choose to think upon that which is true, honorable, right, pure and lovely (see Phil. 4:8).
How do we determine the truth and the right course of action to take? Consider the integration of general revelation with special revelation depicted by the diagram on page 26.
The left side of the diagram shows the rational process of verification accomplished by observation and experimentation. It represents the scientific method of investigation, which is what higher education in our Western world is based upon. Psychological and sociological research is conducted by scientists and those who are attempting to obtain degrees at the highest levels of learning.
The right side of the diagram is special revelation (the Bible), which is proclaimed, explained and defended by various seminaries and schools of theology. Interpretation is accomplished by practicing exegesis (reading out) on passages of Scripture and applying principles of hermeneutics (biblical interpretation) in order to understand what God has communicated to us. The temptation is to assume that each side of the diagram carries equal weight and that truth is determined by combining the two. But I, along with many other concerned Christians, believe that there are serious problems with that approach to integration. Let me offer three critical observations.
The Primacy of Special Revelation
First, special revelation (the Bible) is authoritative, whereas general revelation (nature) is illustrative. The heavens and Earth do declare and show forth the glory of God, but scientific observations cannot answer the philosophical question of why? How do we explain the origin of the species, much less their purpose for being here? Without special revelation to explain life and its meaning, we have no recourse but to fall back on humanistic philosophical speculation or scientific rationalism.
Research is valuable because it helps us to know what is, and we will be more fruitful if we learn to adapt our ministries accordingly. That is the point that Paul makes in 1 Corinthians 9:19-22:
For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more. To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law; to those who are without law, as without law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might win those who are without law. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.
Good ministries stay relevant by being fully informed about the societies around them and understanding what people are doing, thinking and saying. I have conducted my own research, and it has proven to be invaluable in understanding people. Without this knowledge, we will likely answer a lot of questions that nobody is asking or attempt to meet needs that nobody has.
Without compromising our message or morals, we must stay current with our society and relevant to its needs. We cannot become all things to all people without having some understanding of who they are. Although we are not of this world, we are certainly in it for a purpose. The truth of God's Word never changes, but society does because people change what they think, believe and do.
When behavioral scientists research humanity, they are observing what the Bible calls the flesh in the vast majority of cases. They are describing the actions and attitudes of the fallen nature of humanity, which operates independently of God. Such research is descriptive and helpful if we understand its limitations. However, when research become prescriptive, implying what life and human behavior should be, it distorts the truth and becomes an enemy of the gospel.
Secular research assumes that we are an evolutionary product of our past environment and shaped by our individual choices. Such research makes no attempt to show the potential of new life in Christ or what a Spirit-filled life could be.
We are dependent on the creator of life to provide the explanation of why we are here, how we should interpret what we observe and how to live meaningful lives with an expectant hope for the future. It was intended by God that special revelation interpret and explain natural revelation.
Second, the scientific method of investigation by definition leaves out the reality of the spiritual world. God does not submit to our methods of verification. We cannot scientifically prove the existence of God to the satisfaction of the skeptic. Metaphysics (the nature of being, or essential reality) is discussed in philosophy departments, not science departments.

Most visitors in Italy plan on spending a fair amount of time in art museums, but the type of art they're looking at is almost always several centuries old. There are some contemporary art museums in Italy worth checking out, however. When you're in Milan, these are some of the contemporary art museums and galleries you should consider visiting.

Museums in Parco Sempione
July 1, 2014
In addition to being one of Milan's biggest public green spaces, Parco Sempione is also home to many museums. Most of the museums in the park are contained within the castle building complex, but there are two more elsewhere in the park that are worth checking out.
Castello Sforzesco
February 19, 2013
Milan's Castello Sforzesco, once the fortified home of the regional government, now anchors one of the city's big parks and houses a few separate museums and galleries. The structure dates back to the 14th century and features several distinctive towers.

Ahh...Ghost in the Shell. The 1995 movie based on the manga that was called by some the second coming of Akira. I can't help but agree with that. So here we are almost 15 years later and we now have a sequel, a spin-off TV show, with a TV movie and it's influence is seen in movies such as "The Matrix." Now we have GitS 2.0, which is not a sequel (though I can see why people could be misled into thinking that.) but a redone version of the first movie. The colors has been changed and some CG has been brought in to replace the old animation. Its supposed to look more like the sequel, "Innocence," but honestly it looks weird since the original movie was made 9 years before the sequel. But I'm not going to review the movie itself, I'm just going to tell you why you should buy this on Blu-Ray. The first thing all you purists need to know, the original Ghost in the Shell is included on the disc in HD. It doesn't look that great but it looks better than the DVD for sure. Also, the transfer is not the DVD master from the 2005 re-issue simply upconverted (contrary to popular belief), it is the Blu-ray master from Japan. They didn't really clean up the film but this is pretty much the best it's ever going to look unless Bandai, Manga or Production IG want to put up the money for a full re-master.

Candy Chang's 'Before I Die...' comes to Milwaukee
There is something about a death that can be focusing. For New Orleans artist Candy Chang, the loss of a dear friend, initially lead to a long period of grief and depression that eventually turned to gratitude and clarity.
She wanted to know what was important, to her and to those in her around her. So the artist, known for her placemaking projects and urban planning ideas, painted the side of an abandoned building with chalkboard paint and stenciled the words, "Before I die I want to..." onto it. »Read Full Blog Post(1)

Friday in Jacksonville, I felt lucky enough just to be treated to an entertaining game, which is more than the folks who went to New Orleans can say.
But I never dreamed that the best part of covering Bobby Bowden's final game would be the press conference afterward.
Usually, press conferences are so dull they make grown men weep.
But the Florida State legend had us laughing for 20 minutes after the Gator Bowl win over West Virginia.
If you've ever heard Andy Griffith's old bit about going to a football game, you can understand what Bowden's press conference was like.
Among the gems was his description of the way he was carried off the field, sort of, after his final game. (The ordeal was only about as far as a first down.)
Bowden: "We came off the field and someone asked me, 'Can we carry you off?' And I said, 'Well, yes, if you want to.'
"They must have sent the littlest guys they could. They couldn't even lift me up. And so, anyway, I ended up walking off the field. They were determined to get me on their shoulders, so they did that when I came of the stage. I don't know how far they would have carried me, but I finally got them to put me down."
He also took time to talk about his javelin-throwing experience in reference to planting the spear before the game. He was worried it wouldn't stick up after he planted it.
"But I got it on my first shot," he said. "So I could be a pretty good spear thrower, I think."
Bowden also spent a lot of time talking about playing against Pittsburgh back in the 1970s when he was still at West Virginia. He was particularly obsessed with a game the Mountaineers lost despite holding a 35-8 lead.
Bowden: "I know ya'll ain't interested in what happened in 1970, but I'm going to tell you anyway because you're sitting there, right? … We got ahead of them, 35-8, just killing them. … I was sitting on the darn ball. I wouldn't go and open up our offense until it was too late. Like I said, that's the last time I've played conservative football."
But the best part of the exchange came when somebody asked Bowden what he'd like to see in the newspapers after the game.
Bowden: "Well, my headline would probably be 'Bobby Bowden pulled out another great win with his excellent strategy. He jerked the mic away from Jimbo Fisher and started calling plays himself. That's why they won.' Another lie. It would be another lie."
Bowden was just teasing us, though. He had the class to show he didn't have any ill feelings toward those of us covering him over the years.
"I do want to thank you all," he said. "I feel like I have had very fair treatment."
And thanks for treating us to an interview worth conducting and a career full of entertaining football games.

Tough on the portfolio balance but my belief that SNTA is a great risk/reward play has not is still in tact, especially after listening to the latest ASCO presentation.
There was no hype or boasting. The company said that the next trial results will be what tells the story of Ganetespib, be it good or bad. Sure they see things they like in the latest data but they understand that more positive results are needed before the street and the FDA will go along for the ride.
The doctor who spoke of the patient that was doing very well on monotherapy seemed quite impressed with the drug. Yes one patient does not make a trial but his comments do lend support to us longs. Shorts will call it BS but I find it hard to believe that an oncologist is hyping something as he treats dying patients.
I realize that stocks like SNTA are a long shot but with Kovner taking a stab and the ASCO presentation, II see it as a worth while bet.

So a few weeks ago, my MIL made a comment about being the center of attention at my baby shower & that was the straw that broke the camel's back for me.
I sent my MIL an email, which I gave to my DH to read prior to sending, setting firm boundaries with her. She responded 1.5 weeks later with texts to my DH saying that I was threatening her. He told her I was not threatening her, I was setting boundaries to protect our LO. After the texting, they had a phone conversation where I felt like she was trying to turn DH against me.
In the string of text messages, she also stated that I should have sent my email prior to the gifts that she sent & that I had used her for the gifts. I had not received the gifts & had no knowledge about them until a week after I sent my email. Would it be appropriate to send a check refunding her for the gifts along with a note stating, "I have placed a check in the mail to repay you for all of the gifts. I do not have an exact amount for the shower gifts so I estimated an amount. If you do not feel it is sufficient you can provide receipts and I will make up the difference. I definitely do not want you to think that I am using you to provide items for our child. DH and I can more than provide for our child and Baby G has other grandparents that are more than willing to shower him with gifts without the guilt."
I will admit I allowed her to have power over me & lost a week thinking about all of her toxic BS. Finally, I wrote her one last time but have not sent it. I basically stated that my DH & I will run our family as we see fit & if she cannot abide by our boundaries then she does not have to be a part of our lives. I no longer have the time, energy or health to deal with her anymore. I have developed some complications in the pregnancy & I know the stress & BS are partially to blame so I have to let it go, realize she is crazy, not going to change & stand firm to my boundaries.
A big concern is that DH will not stand by the boundaries due to money. He fears that if we are ever in a bind she will not help us out if we are hard on her - I told him that if we are ever in a bind we can go to his dad or my parents because I do not want to be beholden to her for anything. I don't know if he is ever going to realize that it doesn't have to be this way.
I don't know how to handle my MIL. She is so angry, bitter, self centered & manipulative & is constantly playing the victim, crying over things to get her way, often times to which my DH gives in. My MIL is over-the-top religious yet is one of the biggest hypocrites.
My MIL & FIL were married for 34yrs. 20yrs into their marriage, my MIL suspected her husband of cheating so she sat her 16yr old (my DH) and her 11yr old down with their father to confront him. He told her he didn't have an affair but she moved out of their bedroom, didn't seek counseling, didn't sleep with him for 13yrs or ask for a divorce. My FIL gave into temptation after 13yrs, cheated on my MIL and left her for this woman, who is now my DH's stepmom.
My MIL blames every bad thing that has happened in her life on my DH & his father. She won't take any responsibility for the mistakes that she made in her marriage or in life.
My DH had severe bi-lateral clubfeet when he was born, requiring 10+yrs of surgeries to correct & at the age of 21 my DH was in a serious car accident, breaking his back & neck & was paralyzed for 1yr. His mom tries to make him feel guilty for having to take care of him both times. While he was in the hospital after his car accident, she told him, "I can't believe you did this to me, now I have to take care of you again as if you were a baby."
My DH's girlfriend at the time saved his life by holding his head above water after the accident. They married 3yrs later & during their 8yr marriage, she cheated on him for 3, gave him a STD, then asked for a divorce & afterwards ruined his credit.
My MIL went through her divorce 1yr before my DH. She was unable to lend any support to my DH during his because she was still a train wreck but when she did talk to him, she told him that his divorce was his fault, etc...
Fast forward 1yr, my DH & I reconnected & married 1yr later. During the 3yrs my DH & I have been together, I have listened to my MIL blame my FIL for the fail of their marriage as well as my DH for the fall of his. For the most part, I have kept my mouth shut out of respect for my DH. After 1.5yrs I did ask my MIL to stop bashing her son, telling her that marriage is hard enough without her input. It is almost as if she was/is trying to sabotage our relationship - If she can't have a successful relationship & be happy, no one should.
After we found out I was pregnant, my MIL started trying to dictate how the birth would go, who would be there, of course excluding my FIL & his wife & telling me that the stepmom is not to hold our baby.
About 2 months ago my DH laid some boundaries with his mom, stating she is no longer to bash his dad & that she is going to have to deal with their (his dad's & stepmom's) presence at the birth of our child, birthday parties, etc... Because we refuse to have 3+ parties, 1 for each family.
3 wks ago, my MIL was here for 4 days. She could not even hold off 1 day before she was telling me how great my DH's ex is & bashing my FIL. My MIL told me that she liked my DH's ex better than me because she was more sympathetic. What she seems to forget is how sympathetic I was for 3 years but because my husband put his foot down & included me in the boundaries, I am now unsympathetic.
I couldn't restrain myself any longer & told her that she needed to take responsibility for her mistakes in her life & marriage & that she would not be happy & be able to move on until she did. I also told her about DH's ex giving him a STD & ruining his credit.Then I went on to tell her that DH & I avoid her when we are in town because she is stressful to be around. I posed the question, "How could she forgive my DH's ex for cheating but not my DH's father?"
I told my DH about the exchange after she left. He said he did not agree with everything that I said but is ok with it because he warned his mom not to bring those topics up anymore.
When my MIL talks to me about the baby, she starts crying & telling me how hard it was when she had my DH, how people abandoned her because he had clubfeet, etc... It is as if we cannot be happy about our child because of the pain she went through with my DH...WTF??
Honestly, I don't want to be around my MIL - I don't want her at the birth & I don't want her alone with my child for fear of her poisoning his mind. I have told DH my feelings but he totally disagrees. He told me, "I know she is BSC but she is my mother & I want her in my life."
The birth of our child is supposed to be one of the happiest days of our lives but I fear the drama she will bring.
I don't know what to do. My head is spinning just thinking about my MIL - I just want to scream!!

not badPosted: Feb 20, 2007 12:00AM PST by axelismyhero
the prices arent bad... five bucks for two maps. Nice.
NOW WITH NEW LIGHTING!!!Posted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by justmustang
Sonds like Capcom has taken a lesson from Ubisoft in regards to pricing. $2.50 per map is about right but why go to the trouble of making new ones when you could just change the lighting variables.
Just on principle.Posted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by perrygood&true
Cus if the best game for the system can do bigger maps for a better game, for free, even though they'd have no problem selling. Well, hey, its a standard to follow. LO is no GOW, as a rule inferior breeds of the game genre should be following suit.
Here we go againPosted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by DELTAsnake
When will these dev's learn, charging for maps is only good for spliting the user base.
Marketing, peoplePosted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
Not to sound greedy, but don't you love the ability to make money off of your creation? There's a much larger market for games than there was when Unreal Tourny 1st came out. Everything's a viable market, if there's someone to buy it. To some, 2 new maps is definately worth $5; the others that don't want to fork over that small change never really wanted the maps in the 1st place. And don't say "but dude, $5 is a lot of money!" And you own a 360?

nooooooooooo! i just used my last 400 points in paperboy(my parents wont let me have the credit card). i hate my timing! but really, it seems to be pretty good amount of maps for a small price. but im just curious: what about the map some people(including me) got by purchasing the SE of Lost Planet? is that in the map pack, or its it a separate download?
Wasn't GOW map pack free...Posted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by HamalSharatan
... because Discovery Channel financed it?
Any money at all is too muchPosted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by Blazehedgheog
I mean, think about all the bonus packs released for the Unreal Tournament games over the years. All that stuff was free! $5 for a map pack? When people already paid $60 for the game already? For shame.

I'll just have to tear myself away from Crackdown.
$2.50 per MapPosted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by FANBOYHATER;)
Is not that bad. Specially if the maps are well designed.
Not worth it?Posted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by BlazingAero
What price did you expect, $2? 5 bucks isn't exactly wallet-busting, it's a friggin McValue meal.
Worth itPosted: Feb 19, 2007 12:00AM PST by macross_island
it will be worth it if you play with your friends.

Office staff are TERRIBLE to deal with! Consistantly book appts days later when he has appts open the next day...it depends on if they like you or not. Then, if he decides to show up, you wait 45min to 3hrs to see him or get a presc.! Don't get me wrong, he is the BEST Dr. I have ever seen. He cares more than any other but getting through to him is impossible with his office!
he is very caring and when other doctors just wave off your concerns he check out every concern that you have. it is very difficult to have a child with issues that are hard to pinpoint but he worked through and continues to help
I have been his patient since 1986..as have members of my family.He diagnosed me when noone else could.I love Michael Balch and his staff!He is an excellent DR. and I would recommend him to anyone.He is what you would expect in a Dr. from years ago, he takes his time with you.He ROCKS
awesome dr.always takes time with you.treats everyone like a very special person.i would highly recommend him to anyone.
