How does it differ from other projects promoting Latin America & the Caribbean?
First, we want to promote the Caribbean world as much as Latin America. Also, we don't want to limit ourselves to listing events and artists, but want to provide a platform giving access to valuable information through academic works, articles, our community, and – very soon! – documentaries, live chat with personalities, and much more.
Can I put anything at all on my profile's album photos, videos or only Latin American & Caribbean related content?
Latineos is all about Latin American and Caribbean culture and we want to give our members an easy way to be part of it! Any quality content related to Latin America & the Caribbean will be appreciated by other members. If you're a visual artist, you can display your work, get others to know you, share ideas. If you're into writing, why not start a blog or let us know if you'd be interested in becoming one of our editors?
Where is the Caribbean present in the name Latineos?
The freshness and dynamism of the Caribbean is represented in the word Eos. Eos is the goddess of dawn, and used as a symbol of creation, of a rich culture always in movement.
Can I help?
Sure! We always welcome great writers, well versed in Latin America and/or the Caribbean. All you need to do is contact us and we'll gladly get in touch.
I can't find the author I'm looking for?
We're continually updating our site, adding reviews, events and articles. Drop us a line, send us your suggestions and let other community members discover your favourite author, movie, book, album, or event.

Major changes to industrial plants are looming on the hori- zon. Customers are demanding increasingly more custom- ized, differentiated products. Manufacturers are experiencing a fourth industrial revolution: After water, steam and electric power, electronics and IT now networked sensors and sim- ulation are moving into the factory buildings: the products of the future know where they are, know their history, their current status and the production steps that are still pending in order to arrive at a finished product. To make this poss- ible, virtual and real world have to mesh more intensivelly.
Miniature model connects digital and real world
At EuroMold researchers of the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research IGD demonstrate how one can bridge this gap. The scien- tists constructed a miniature factory including a small robot that moves barrels. The re- searchers observed the miniature factory with a camera. With ten images per second it is constantly recording the status in the real world and transmitting these data into the virtual.
Visitors of the booth, for example, are able to plan the route for a forklift. While the virtual one moves through the continuously digitized plant hall, the system analyzes where and when a collision may arise between the forklift and a real robot. In the miniature factory, it is poss- ible to rearrange the barrels. If the visitor sticks his hand in the path of the virtual forklift, the system immediately detects the obstruction. "This is the first step toward cyber-physical equivalency. A condition, where it is possible to switch between any real and virtual world. So far the term involves only geometric expressions. Others, such as those that include the function and behavior, are expected to follow," says Prof. André Stork, head of department at Fraunhofer IGD.
Cyber-physical equivalency, Industry 4.0 what is exactly concealed behind this designat- ions? "Whereas the production processes today are centrally consolidated, with Industry 4.0, each item comes furnished with artificial intelligence, be it machine, system, workpiece or tool," adds Prof. Uwe Freiherr von Lukas, who heads the Rostock, Germany location of the Institute. In everyday terms, that means machines and robots mutually exchange infor- mation, make their own decisions and manage themselves in conjunction with the participating human beings.
Manufacture low-volume production and customized products cost-effectively
This "new" industry should secure the position of Germany and Europe as location for industry. While Asia leads in mass production by a nose, Europe's future lies in the product- ion of customized pieces and low volume production. And this is precisely what flexible Industry 4.0 is intended to do: production lines can be redesigned and adapted so quickly that even low-volume production and customized products can be manufactured cost- effectively. Until now, business operations merely use the path from virtual to real: They plan and optimize the production lines on the computer, and then transmit them into reality. The return trip is only made rarely if at all. If something changes in the production process, this is only transferred to the virtual system on a case-bycase basis. "At EuroMold our mini- ature factory shows, that this might take a different course already today," says Freiherr von Lukas.

Membrane Separations Technology
Single-Stage, Multistage, and Differential PermeationBy
- E.J. Hoffman
The petroleum, natural gas, and the chemical & petrochemical process industries, variously require the separation of mixtures -- whether of raw feedstream materials, reactants, intermediates, or products -- as comprising gases, liquids, or solutions. Membrane separations add another weapon to the arsenal of separation methods, including the upgrading of subquality natural gas reserves. This book furnishes the necessary derivations and calculations for numerically predicting the separations that can be obtained, based on the known respective membrane permeabilities of the pure components. A verstile text, Membrane Separations Technology is suitable both as a reference and a textbook for the practicing process engineer, the researcher, and chemical & petrochemical engineering faculty and students.

E Recycling Systems LLC has opened a 50,000-square-foot warehouse and service center facility in Atlanta. The company acts as the North American agent for Guidetti Recycling Systems of Italy and Key Machinery (KM) of Austria. The company also represents American dust control systems provider R&R-Technology.
"The new facility will allow us to stock larger quantities of parts to better support the equipment and systems that we've sold," E Recycling Systems states in a press release announcing the move. The new location also has "a complete test lab to process material for customers and demonstrate the equipment," according to E Recycling Systems.
The new facility's location is about a 20-minute drive from Hartsfield International Airport, according to the company, which it says will make it easier for customers and prospects to visit.

Re: Is Brady Clutch? Great Article

In response to ricky12684's comment:[QUOTE]
3 super bowl's and tied for most post season wins in NFL history... why can't brady win every game and every super bowl? maybe because he's human and we live in reality
[/QUOTE]LOL. This sums it up nicely.
[/QUOTE]I still think this a flawed argument, the question people are asking is what has changed that he won those games in the early 2000s, but does not anymore. I don't expect him to win every game and every Super Bowl. I am asking what is different about this team that they went from winning as underdogs to losing as favorites?
The "most postseason wins" stats is bogus. How much of that is a function of simply being on a good team, and being the starting QB for now his 11th season (subracting the year he missed). Eight of those seasons he had top ten defense on the other side of the ball. Five of those seasons the defense was rank as high or better than the offense. In three of those seasons, the Patriots won the Super Bowl.
For as good as Tom Brady is (and I do believe he is one of the all-time top 5 QBs), he has not won anything accept regular statistical categories when the offense is better than the defense.
Let's look at the years:
2002 - Off 10th - Def 17th : missed playoffs
2005 - Off 4th - Def 9th : lost divisional round
2007 - Off 1st - Def 4th : lost Super Bowl
2010 - Off 1st - Def 8th : lost divisional round
2011 - Off 3rd - Def 15th : lost Super Bowl
2012 - Off 1st - Def 15th : ??? (currently .500)
Too summarize. In years where the offensive is better, Tom Brady in the playoffs is 5 - 4.
In years, where the defense was as good or better, Tom Brady in the playoffs is 11 - 2.
[/QUOTE]You realize that you are proving what you are arguing against. Brady has gotten better, the defense has gotton worse. Which of those two points is most likely the cause of the Pats no longer winning superbowls?

In response to BabeParilli's comment:[QUOTE]Get back to us when you determine if the sacks on the crucial drive in all 3 losses were great O-line play or not.
[/QUOTE]Did you not read what I said. If Brady has time to go through all his progression (which in some cases, not all, he did) then the OL did their job. They can't hold indefinitly they are only suppose to hold long enough for a QB to go through their progressions, anything past that is gravy. hence why QB's are told if the play isn't there just get rid of the ball and reload, don't try to draw it out . Brady has said this! So, to answer your question sometimes it's Brady's fault sometimes it's the OL's fault it all depends how much time the ball is in Brady's hands. Is it in long enough to go through his progressions and has a chance to get rid of it instead of extending a broken play or does he not even have enough time to get set before the D is on him
[/QUOTE]Did you not read what I said? Get back to us with your conclusions as to whether those sacks were Brady's fault. He has a reputation as a savvy QB so the onus is on you.
[/QUOTE]See bold, I made it easier for you to read
[/QUOTE]Define "sometimes". Because I believe the wide world agrees sacks are a strong majority of the time due to blocking breakdown within a reasonable timeframe rather than some excessive time consumed by the QB with no attempt to escape the situation on his part.. It is OCCASIONALLY due to excessive looking by the QB, but a veteran like Brady well knows when the time is up and he has to be making provisions to bail on the play in some way. In Brady's case I think he is very well respected in his ability to either make a play within a reasonable amount of blocking time, or get rid of the ball.
In other words, I'm saying you are using a flimsy excuse to try to discount the fact Brady has been sacked in the final crucial drive in all 3 losses. Typical attempt to spin the obvious by you.

He no longer has a defense that guarantees he will be within a fg of a tie or a win. That was the Brady magic.

Sorry, I don't need to read any articles to determine of Brady is "clutch". Recent history gives the facts. "Would a's", "could a's", and "shiuld a's" need not be qualifiers or mentioned. To use Uncle Joe Biden's numerology science and methods, I can sum up the answer to this thread question in a single word: :Not Any Longer.

[/QUOTE]There is no spin. I have seen Brady take sacks instead of throwing it away when he should have thrown it away. He's human and makes mistakes Babe. That doesn't make him any less the a top 3 all-time QB. I hate to tell you but you spin everything that doesn't fit your argument even if facts are different right in your face. Sacks on the last drive are not just on the OL or just on the QB but it can be on both and that's the answer depending on specific situation. In this 1 year Brady has been sacked once in the final drive where taking the sack wasn't the right move to keep the clock running if there was no play to be made and Brady didn't have enough time to get set. So once in the 3 losses on the final drive the OL gave up a sack that was completely out of Brady's control and in a place where they wanted the clock stopped.
This is how you spin it Babe, you make a general statement and then as evidence comes in to contradict you, you just keep on narrowing down your requirements until it suits your argument then you use it to justify your broad statement. It doesn't work this way. Either make your argument specific from the beginning or learn to except general answers for general statements, because in most of your broad statements there is no one answer
BTW it's funny how in the other thread you called me a liar and then once someone came in verifying my account you abandoned your attempt to discredit me because you were wrong.

Brady this and Brady that... what about overall team play? If there is one thing I have noticed more and more these last couple years, the play calling on offense would change tremendously from what was working earlier in a game to plays that just make you scratch your head. The Seattle game is a case in point. Look at how many runs they attempted late in the 4th quarter versus earlier in the game. Seattle wasn't stopping the pass and stuffing the run. So the Pats try and run the ball late? Is that Brady's fault? I understand the frustration to see the offense's inability to keep putting points on the board late. At some point the offense has to think it can trust the D to keep the opponent from scoring late when it has been successful most of the game. 2 TDs by Seattle in the later half of the 4th when all they got was 10 points in the first 50 minutes??!! That had to be frustrating for the O to see happen. IMHO, I believe Brady's ineffectiveness late in games is more a function of play calling than his play overall. He runs the plays from the bench.

[/QUOTE]DO you think Babe is GIselle? hahaa
What drives me nuts about Brady is how he's so infatuated with throwing, he's now has defenses knowing he'll never run or roll out of the pocket to make a play. I get he's not nimble at all, but his decisions when it's not a perfect pocket for 5-7 seconds with him all cozy in that pocket, scannign the field, have been abysmal in the shotgun spread base.
I would love it if he just took a sack once in a while or just ran forward through the line for 2 yards, taking time off the clock. He acts like he can't do those things, I think it's partyl due his 2008 injury.
The days of Brady juking Urlacher in 2006 are sadly long gone. Run the ball, please Tom.
[/QUOTE]Suppose running for over 500 yards in 2 games isn't running the ball...HMMMMM what's the big difference between the 2 prior games and the Seattle game? Well I don't know if you had noticed but the running game wasn't quite as effective against Seattle in fact some would say it was rendered useless. Why can't you get that, I can't believe you come on this forum and call people every insulting name on the board and then you can't comprehend something as simple as : the runnning game was null against the seahawks and therefore they had to up the passing. I'll admit I wasn't pleased with the level the passing went up to, i also wasn't pleased with the vital drops, I also wasn't pleased with the D giving up 2 relatively long TDs in the 4th quarter. You can come on here and say Brady this and Brady that but that's just your own personal vendetta...he wasn't a better QB before 06 he was worse look at all the stats if we havn't been running it's because we has a bargain shelf running back as a starter and before that maybe the worst bust in pats history. I'll just reiterate my point to conclude. YOU CAN'T CONTINUE TO RUN THE BALL IF IT ISN'T WORKING!!

That's right I am calling out the QB.. He's just as much to blame as anyone else. Nobody is above anyone else on the team. You completely missed my point so I will make it more simple for ya. Brady and many other guys had a bad game, they have had them in the past. I said it here but I won't go on and on and on and on and on about how badly they played or that the offense or defense can't get out of its own way. Time to move on and support the team. If you don't support the team it's cool to but don't consider yourself a fan.
[/QUOTE]Every one is supporting their team cliffy. We just don't see blasting a HOF QB and holding him responsible for the losses when he is carrying one of (if not the) worst defenses in NFL history and has been for years.
[/QUOTE]Dear Dummy, err, I mean Pezzy,
Go look at where the Saints, Packers and Giants Ds "ranked" when they won their SBs.
I'll take an opportunistic D and concede yards any day of the week in this era. You're simply daft thinking this is 1984 or even 2004. Get over it. If you want to write a letter to Tagliabue telling him how you miss the old days or write to all 32 owners telling them how you don't like what their agenda is, go ahead. Have at it. I don't disagree, but you and I aren't changing it.
Paul Tagliabue is LONG gone, son. The Chuck Rule was a point of emphasis in the comp. committee meetings since 2003. Goodell agrees that offense is the key to driving ratings and revenue and for him to get investors in Europe. The owners agree because they know what gets people to come to games and to watch on tv, especially females. Points. Action.
It's no differrent than roids and homeruns for BUd Selig and why he turned his head for so long, knowing those guys were pumping roids. It's good for business, so it's good for ol' Rogie Goodell.
Deal with it. I am a tradionatlist with this game myself, but you're as dumb as a door knob pining for a clutching and grabbing kind of Ty Law/Rodney Harrison D in 2012. Our entire D would be penalized for 200 yards per game if they played that way now.
Law, Harrison, Bruschi, etc, couldn't cover jack squat right now in this league if they were in their primes. It's comical to hear them so arrogantly babbled about what is good D and what isn't. The game has changed. They know it, too.
Every NFL team has to deal with this issue of offenses being favored, so it's how well you deal with it. Unless, of course, you're a moron franchise like the Jets who think it's stll 2004 where you can have a game manager at QB and build a good D with big bucks and cross your fingers. LMAO
The one way for this D to be even more consistent in terms of being good throughout an entire game is for BB to get more pass rushers. He needs to get more up to speed so he can increase his rotation. This will help the back end a lot. A rookie mistake by Tavon Wilson doesn't mean the whole D stinks. But, I'll wait YET AGAIN until December when BB has this D playing well, hopefully at full health, so they're ready again to be opportunisitc and follow his gameplans to a T, waiting on Tom Brady to not mess it up.
You're childish behavior, amongst others here, is beyond annoying to this point.
[/QUOTE]"The owners agree because they know what gets people to come to games and to watch on tv, especially females. Points. Action."
Go sell that to fans or teams with good and great defenses over a period of time. Like, the Steelers, Bears, Ravens of 2000, Dungy's Bucs, even Dolphins of the 70's. No one paid to see the Bears on offense, epecially when Payton was just about done as a player. They came to see "da Bears" defense. The Steel Curtain was IT for a long time. Who was the record breaking/shattering QB's of the Ravens and Bucs when they were on top of the football world? I don't recall either of their feature backs winning the rushing championship either. These defenses could actually score, which creates excitement. These teams didn't have offenses running up an avg of 35 PPG.
Offense is nice, but paying fans want to see their team win, any way, any how, at all costs. Only folks going to NFL games to "be seen" don't care, as long as there are a gazillion points scored. Heck! They don't even care if the opposing team scores 1 point more than their own (home) team! And you think team owners want to market to that?

It wasn't quite as effective? How can run the ball out of a shotgun spread base?
WHY DON'T YOU GET THAT??? Are you this daft? Running draws 15% of the time isn't establishing a run game on the road.
Jesus. Learn the game, please. You don't see a problem with 2 games in a row, albeit against bad run Ds with over 200 yards rushing and the fact we never genuinely tried to do it in the first half vs Seattle?
Make sense much?
Ridley is a "bargain shelf" RB? Bolden looks very good so even if he's not healthy last week, don't change what you do well simply because you don't get the ultra perfect personnel choices to run your offense.
Our offenses under Weis were chameleons. Every player did everything well and generally speaking, so do these players on offense.
They should have kept Fells in line with Gronk and hammered that rock with Ridley to get the Seattle D to be responsible for that later in the game. We should do this (generally speaking) EVERY GAME IN THE FIRST HALF.
[/QUOTE]Come on man you know i wasn't talking about Ridley, I was talking about BJGE and Maroney respectively. We didn't run draws from the shotgun with Ridley in because we never do it's always Woodhead the same way it was always BJGE last year...the play calling is terrible the constant subbing is terrible. Honestly and I don't know if you agree but i feel it's got to the point where the team in vital games is out thinking itself the subbing of the running backs for perfect match is one fine example of this. In regards to establishing the run in this game I think it's more a case of the passing game being quite efficient early on and when they turn to the run to kill the game it doesn't work out. The team threw for alot of first down early on whilst the running game was averaging 2 yards a carry. This isn't meant to be insulting merely a question of your opinion, do you think that the Pats should run the ball even if it's ineffective in order to establish the running game even if they could throw the ball and march down the field?

[/QUOTE]LMAO. Evidence? WHAT evidence have you provided? Your SPIN that the sacks Brady took may have been his fault isn't "evidence'! Prove to us all that they were his fault. Otherwise you might as well zip it because your point is moot.
I'll tell you what is funny....
I had one reply to you that I posted in error. Replied to the wrong post, and the "verifier" you mention stated it was mistaken identity. So you fashion me as calling you Rusty "on more than one occasion" because I did once by mistake and apologized for the error? How typically dishonest of you.

In response to danemcmenamin's comment:[QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]No, I didn't know what you meant. I also thought maybe you were referring to Woodhead too.
Regardless, Antowain Smith was no better than BJGE and he's no more gifted than Ridley.
The point is, we didn't sub in Kevin Faulk just to run shotgun spread plays from 2001-2004. We would just use each a Smith or a Faulk as a lead back, running plays as we would like to run them with balance.
This is the difference. Now, we sub in a specific skill set from the RB position, telling Ds what we want to do.
I agree it's over-thinking. Why are you lecturing me on this when you agree with me? You're barking up the wrong tree here. I've been on this since LAST year when we had a 21-3 lead in Buffalo, about to go up 24 or 28-3 and Brady is still throwing, staring down people in a shotgun spread.
You tell me how that makes sense.
And yes, I think the Pats should run the ball even if it's ineffective, because in the second halves (see last year's Jets game as an example or any win v.s. Baltimore as another example to this), the mere fact you ran makes Brady better, gives McDaniels more options in the playbook and gives the opponent that small little idea that MAYBE, just MAYBE, this could be a run on any given play in the second half.
If you don't run at all with Brady under center, you also can't use his lethal playaction. The team can keep games close by giving an RB, a lead RB like Ridley and or Bolden (they can be used the same way which is GREAT), say 8-10 carries in the first half ever week (not both, but combined or one or the other).
Don't sub the RBs on a drive and get Brady under center. I am telling you, we will not lose a game the rest of the year, the D will look much better than people give it credit for, and they're a 2 (at worst 3 seed) seed.
[/QUOTE]I'm lecturing you because you pin it all on Brady when I don't believe it's all his fault. I think he constantly puts us in positions to win games which his team mates can't take advantage of. I mean why can we not run the ball still in the 2nd half even though we've thrown on nearly every down in the 1st half surely this will open the running lanes? I had a bad feeling Sunday in fact it's a feeling I get every game in which we don't blow out the opponent, I had it against Denver until we stopped the bleeding! My point is do you not think that if a QB puts 25-30 points on the board at the start of the 4th quarter the game should be over the other players on the team i.e. RB's and defense should be able to preserve it from there and they can't for this team and I don't know why. He put up 23 points against Seattle...that's not the 25-30 point that i stated but it should be enough in this game it was a 2 score game with 7.40 ish on the clock...they didn't even have to win an onside kick to win this game I mean what on earth happened. We've been playing like the raiders in close 4th quarters and it has to stop

In response to MasterHess-'s comment:[QUOTE]
Brady's best days are in his rear view mirror-I think we can all agree to that. Arguably one of the best in the history of the game. After the Seattle game everybody wanted to blame the DB's but Brady definatly contributed to the loss. @ huge picks and 2 grounding penalties./
He first started getting softer after marrying Giselle and was too busy out in Califarnia to join his teammates over the off season for the OTA's. Ever since then it's been all down hill for Brady
I will say this about him though. I am glad that he doesn't pound his fist on the ground while looking at the ref to throw the flag any time a defender glances up against him. I guess somebody from the organization got in his ear about that. I mean ...come on it's football and you are going to get every now again there pretty boy.
[/QUOTE]Really? Amazing how he has a 97 passer rating right now and from 2001 through 2006 he had a lower one. Looks like the facts show his worst days are behind him. Dead wrong much?

[/QUOTE]I agree with this. Brady is a much better QB now then early in his career, but because he's older you can see it starting to take a toll and they need to start complimenting him to win instead of relying on him like they did earlier in his career

The leaves are turning colors and you can feel the full effects of fall in the air. It is getting colder outside which makes a Sunday Afternoon TwitFlix Matinée a perfect solution to being stuck in the house. Speaking of being stuck in the house the first film of our afternoon of horror is the original House on Haunted Hill with Vincent Price. This campy black and white classic from 1959 is going to set the bar high for the rest of the movies to follow.
Remember to follow us on Twitter @GenXnerd, @Twit_Flix, and also @AKMamma and don't forget to include the hashtag #TwitFlix when jumping in! If you do not have a twitter account you can always watch live streaming of #TwitFlix movie Tweets on our Live Streaming Page. All movies watched are found streaming at Netflix.com.
With Halloween a week away, we picked a new John Carpenter movie, The Ward. It looks interesting with the plot being a woman trapped in a psych ward who sees a ghost. The plot is pretty basic. A woman stuck on the floor of a mental ward who sees a ghost. The twist? Other patients begin vanishing! John Carpenter tends to bring it home and MuGumBo hasn't been disappointed in one of his films yet, so we can all delighted in this pick of the week! Not our usual movie to poke fun at, more of a "eewww and awww and ooohhh" movie than something #Twitflix normally pokes fun at! Should be fun for all including our hosts!
After the first two movies there will be a 45 minute intermission for everyone to stretch their legs, feed the creatures living in the cellar and do whatever else needs to get done. Digging deep into the #Twitflix Movie Vault to queue up two more beauties of horror for #Twitflix antics in the spirit of Halloween.
Baring any emergencies, such as the need to catch something escaping from the cellar or a much more mundane technical difficulty, the second half of the matinée will begin around 5:30 PM EST What better way to change it up then with Mel Brooks! Haunted Honeymoon staring Gene Wilder, the late Gilda Radner and Dom DeLuise bring on the laugher as only these three could. There are so many classic quotes and belly laughs in this 83 minutes that this might become a #TwitFlix best. Don't forget to follow our hosts on Twitter @GenXnerd, @Twit_Flix, and @AKMamma and as usual when replying include the hashtag #TwitFlix. If you do not have a twitter account you can always watch live streaming of #TwitFlix movie Tweets on our Live Streaming Page.
As Sunday unfolds we will pick and post the last "Mystery Movie" which as always suggestions are welcome for! Have one? Throw a mention to @Twit_Flix, @GenXnerd, or @AKMamma before hand! We here at Twitflix.net are always in need for another film to add to the Movie Vault!

MOD EDIT: Title changed to better reflect the nature of this posting.
As promised I'll offer a brief case for Theism which we can discuss. In the interest of time I'll present why I think the evidence shows the universe had a beginning and this leads to Theism via a cumulative case.
Some have asked that I also present some evidence for the claims of Christ. I'll do so in another post. When combined, I hope my friends can see that one does not have to commit "intellectual suicide" or rely on "blind faith" to be a follower of Christ, who said to "love God with all your heart…and mind….".
What is the Kalam Cosmological Argument?
The famous KCA seeks to show that the universe (all time, matter, energy, space, and anything contingent on them) came into existence a finite time ago. And anything which begins to exist is subject to the metaphysical principle that anything which begins to exist has a cause for its existence.
The next step in the KCA is a conceptual analysis of what this "cause" would be like. Given that it is the cause of the universe, what attributes would the cause have?
The premises of the argument:
1). Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
2). The universe began to exist.
3). Therefore, the universe had a cause.
Premise 1
The first premise seems so obviously true that it makes more sense than any of its negations. Our observations confirm this but also, metaphysically, "from nothing, nothing derives"! For our purposes I'll define "nothing" as "the complete absence of anything material or physical or subject to time and space. "Nothing" cannot produce anything! Nothing does not even have potential!
A common objection is that Quantum Mechanics and theory are an exception. However, the quantum field from which fluctuations arise is not nothing! And one still resorts to saying "nothing caused (the event), it just happened". But again, "nothing" cannot do anything! As philosopher of science Dr. Robert Deltete says, "There is no basis in ordinary quantum theory for the claim that the universe itself is uncaused, much less for the claim that it sprang into being uncaused from literally nothing."
Premise 2
That the universe came into existence a finite time ago (some 13.7 billion years ago) is supported by two lines of evidence.
1). Scientific Evidence. Big Bang Cosmology, at its broadest form, increasingly confirms the beginning of the time/space/material universe.
2). Philosophical Evidence. It is impossible to traverse an actually infinite number of concrete things by subsequent addition. In fact, an actual concrete infinite does not exist anywhere in nature. It is only an idea that can be contemplated.
As to the first line, the standard BB model has survived all attempts to discredit it with newer theories such as Multi-verses, M-theory, World Ensembles, and oscillating models (most of which just put the beginning of the universe back a step). Further, there is no good evidence for such theories. They are highly speculative and often an attempt to avoid a universe with a beginning. But an eternally-existing universe also falls prey to philosophical evidence.
The second line makes the distinction between a potential infinite and an actual concrete infinite. The former describes the potential to "count down" toward infinity. One could count forever but would never arrive. An actual infinite cannot be completed.
Some mathematicians think numbers and set theory provide for an actual infinite. Yet, at best, this would be abstract and not concrete. Other think there are not even an actually infinite number of numbers (or abstract objects), only a potentially infinite number of numbers that could be eternally counted but never completed.
A concrete infinite would be comprised of concrete objects like atoms, coins, particles, or horses. Moments of time would be in this category.
An eternally-existing universe would entail a history of moments prior to today stretching back without beginning. There would be no first moment or event! But this would mean "today" would never have arrived! It would be like physically counting down all the negative numbers and arriving at -1. Where would you even begin?
For example, imagine an auditorium of 500 people. Starting at the end of the back row one person stands and sits. The person in the next seat stands and sits. This continues until the last person at the end of the front row stands and sits. After a relatively few moments the exercise is completed.
Now imagine an auditorium with an infinite amount of seats and people. When would the last person on the front row finally stand and sit? The answer: never! For an infinite amount of people would have to stand and sit prior to the last person. The last person (or the person next to him) would represent a completion of the exercise. But an actual infinite cannot be completed by subsequent addition.
In the same way, if the moments of the universe stretched back into eternity without beginning, today would never arrive. But today has arrived! Therefore, the universe began a finite time ago.
The auditorium shows why the great mathematician David Hilbert said an actual concrete infinite exists nowhere in nature. In an infinite auditorium, one could remove all the people in the odd-numbered seats and still be left with an infinite number of seats and people. One could remove an infinite number of odd seats and still have an infinite number of seats!
(What about God's eternity? First, God is not an actually infinite number of things but is simple in his nature. As an immaterial being, God is not composed of parts.
Further, God's knowledge would not be comprised of one thought at a time in sequence, but would involve an intuitive knowledge of all true propositions at once. Dr. Craig and others have suggested that God could condescend to time upon creation of it, and thus act in sequential moments and events, etc.)
The universe is subject to this and is why oscillating models and multi-verses still predict a beginning. As Hawking said, "Almost everyone now believes the universe, and time itself, had a beginning at the Big Bang".
Conceptual Analysis
Since the universe requires a cause, and being cannot come from non-being, something must have always been (something necessary, non-contingent, etc.) What attributes can be uncovered concerning the cause? First, it brought about time, so it must timeless. It brought about matter and energy so it must be immaterial. It brought about space so it must be space-less. What kind of entity would fit the description: timeless, immaterial, and space-less, etc.? Philosophers think there are only two candidates: abstract objects or a (disembodied) mind.
But abstract objects do not stand in causal relations. They can't do anything, i.e. the number "7" cannot cause anything.
That leaves something of the order of mind. That points to God.
The KCA itself is religiously neutral. Yet it can serve as a major first step in a cumulative case for God. It is a deductive argument so, granting the premises, it is not an attempt to plug a gap in scientific knowledge with God. It is based on what we do know and what current cosmology predicts.
One objection to address: some point out that a moment is required for God in which to create. There would be a moment in which God has not created followed by a moment in which he does. And there are no moments prior to the Big Bang. However, God would be the efficient cause apart from temporal chronology. As Kant has pointed out, a cause and effect can be simultaneous.
For example, a bowling ball sitting on a cushion from all eternity would be the efficient cause of the indentation in the cushion. The ball and the cushion in that state would be a simultaneous cause and effect.
Many have asked for evidence for God. And while standards of evidence vary from person to person the KCA is nevertheless evidence for God. I'll stop here for now for discussion.
Views: 271
If you want to engage in link wars I can just send you all over the place to rebuttals, especially those Dr. Craig has offered (www.reasonablefaith.org) for every objection here.
God help us! That whole thing is an excursion into an abstract infinite, which I distinguished from a concrete infinite in my post.
LOL, you still don't seem to get it. Your Idea is not concreate, that is what most here are saying. Your "proof" of god is just not evidence for anything. Your argument is simply an absract idea of applying causality to the universe which is not something certaintly to have "started" or had a beginning. THEREFORE, your argument is flawed from the first premise and doesn't prove anything.
Which is why people are saying that the title of this thread "Evidence for God" is misleading. You don't have any evidence, none, zip, nada.
Also, the arguement speaks only of causality of the universe even if the premise were true, it still wouldn't prove god exists. We would still be where we are, not sure, unknowing. IN fact it requires a further step to add god as the cause of the universe.
God is completly not needed or related to the argument.
So we would find ourself in the same place as when you first proposed an argument as evidence for god.
I have pointed out most of that. The KCA I sketched is a first step in what I think is a cumulative case for God. I think the beginning of the universe points to God (or goes firmly in the Theism column). And whatever points to God is evidence for God.
It is not enough to assert or assume the universe is eternal. Anyone who thinks that has the KCA to contend with.
Whether an idea is abstract is not the point. When considering an actual concrete infinite, mathematical symbols and numbers are not included. Numbers are abstract. Moments that comprise the history of the universe are concrete. They are actual concrete events.
So, one may posit that the number of numbers is infinite (though some mathematicians disagree), one cannot posit that an actual number of marbles, coins, or stars is infinite without running into contradictions and absurdities.
BTW, if ideas are not valid then neither is yours! You offered an idea against my idea, or an argument against my argument. Obviously, ideas are valid they're just not concrete!
Please read again what I first posted about potential infinites.
Any naturalistic theory that involves multi-verses or perpetual oscillations, etc. either (1) puts the problem of origins back one step or, (2) runs into the problem of a vicious infinite regress.
Secondly, the attributes of something required to compose the time/space/material universe entail that it, itself, is not composed. Anything composed requires a composer. Unless we arrive at something not composed in its essence (i.e. simple) we run into the infinite regress again.
Being that an actual concrete infinite regress is impossible, it is more rational to posit something necessary and therefore simple, non-contingent, immaterial, timeless, and spaceless.
It makes sense that some origin theories describe a state that is simple doesn't it?
If something is simple it is not composed of discrete parts. If it is composed there seem to be only two choices:
1). Something else composed it.
2). It has been composed from all eternity.
The first would apply to blind forces, chance, or intelligence, etc.
The second option doesn't make much sense. It would require something put together that was never "put together"!

Guangdong hosted Fujian in the 9th round. The South Tigers, still unbeaten this season, looking to extend that record.
The match was billed as Yi Jianlian versus Wang Zhelin, the battle between the two generations of centers.
But Yi Jianlian totally outplayed Wang in the game, helping his team with a 7-0 run early in the game.
And Yi would then continue with this slam dunk. He finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds in the game, while Wang Zhelin managed just 15 points and 10 rebounds.
But Delonte West would lead Fujian\'s comeback, as they ended the first quarter with a three point advantage.
Midway through the third, and it\'s that man again, Yi Jianlian, to put Guangdong up by five.
And Joshua Powell would follow with another slam, as Guangdong extended the lead to 7.
And Guangdong would go on to win the match 113-92, meaning they\'re still unbeaten this season, with six players scoring double digits in the match.

Q. We couldn't obtain the amount of overtime one of our employees worked in time to include payment for those hours in the current payroll period. We understand that untimely payment of wages could expose our company to penalties. May we issue a paycheck to the employee for his regular hours worked and include his overtime payment in the following pay period?
A. Yes. Labor Code Section 204 provides specific time periods in which nonexempt employees must be paid. Under this law, compensation for labor performed between the first and 15th of the month must be paid between the 16th and last day of the month. Moreover, compensation for labor performed between the 16th and last day of the month must be paid between the first and 10th day of the following month. This requirement is satisfied if wages are paid weekly, biweekly or semimonthly, as long as the wages are paid within seven calendar days of the close of the payroll period.
This provision includes a specific exception for the payment of overtime. Under Section 204, "all wages earned for labor in excess of the normal work period shall be paid no later than the payday for the next regular payroll period." Thus, the law provides a limited grace period for the payment of overtime.

Gory FangtellComments0
this wiki
Gory Fangtell[1] is a vampire leader figure and was originally student at Belfry Prep, but transfered with Belfry Prep's student body to Monster High. She was introduced in "Fright On!".
She is voiced by Cindy Robinson in English.
Gory has short black and violet hair, red-violet eyes, pointy ears like all vampires, and pale pink skin. She also has a beauty mark on her left cheek. Her lips are a heavy colour of red.
Like all the vampires who go to Belfry Prep, she wears a red collar shirt V-neck with a red and black striped necktie and a black skirt. She also wears glasses, a belfry prep pin on her shirt, and a pair of bat-winged earrings.
Nothing is known except that her parents are vampires.
Gory is a leader figure among the Belfry Prep vampires and captain of its fearleading team. This brought about a rivalry with Cleo de Nile when Belfry Prep and Monster High fused, but the rivalry was eventually settled and seems to have morphed into a friendship.
While the Belfry Prep-Crescent Moon High conflict was still going, Gory and Bram took interest in Draculaura, seeking to get her to join their cultural group "Vampowerment". They took personal offense at her perceived abduction.
She dates Bram Devein. Between the two, Gory sometimes acts as a mastermind equal and other times behaves as the sly sidekick.
In the TV specials she is treated as a backgrounder, being paired with other backgrounders instead of Bram.

Mr. Green: Let's Talk Money
Disclaimer: This article or humorous commentary is in no way intended to offend anyone and further is ONLY provided as entertainment, a general overview or background information. This article is NOT legal advice or a legal opinion. You should not rely on any information gathered in this article as a basis for any particular course of action or a substitute for legal advice. Because every case is different, you should always seek formal professional legal counsel specific to your case. No warranty of any kind, expressed or implied, is given and in no way does this article constitute any attorney-client relationship. (Sorry. *wink* I'm an attorney…what'd you expect. You know we have legalese and disclaimers for everything.)
I agree that it is rare that the average person has to hire an attorney but it is almost inevitable that at some point in your life you or someone close to you will need to. You never know why or when you will. And when the time comes, the biggest concern for most is the cost. So let's talk money!
There are basically three ways that an attorney is paid.
TRADITIONAL RETAINER METHOD: The most common and traditional method of payment for an attorney. The client pays a lump sum of money, which the attorney puts into escrow. As the legal work is performed, the client is billed at the attorney's hourly rate and the money is deducted from escrow. Each attorney or firm sets their own hourly rate.
Common hourly rates range between $150-$300 in Kentucky, but can be whatever. Fees are typically charged at the fraction of an hour (1/10 or ¼). Retainers are usually between $1,500 and $5,000, but could be more. The attorney or law firm generally bases the retainer on the amount of work that is anticipated; however, it is not uncommon for the retainer to be exhausted. At that point, the client may just be billed on a regular basis or required to replenish the retainer. If any portion of the retainer remains, it goes back to the client.
FLAT FEE: Legal work can be expensive. Due to the economy and other factors, attorneys in recent years have moved more towards using flat rates or value pricing. This has allowed some attorneys or firms to offer ala carte services or a flat fee for the entire case. The most common cases this method is used include drafting a contract or a will, criminal matters, uncontested divorces and name changes, i.e. matters that may be relatively routine and uncomplicated.
CONTINGENCY: This is the ones clients always expect, ask for and hope for, due to the commercials we all have seen. "I don't get paid until you do." Contingency fee means your attorney will not recover unless you recover through a settlement or successful litigation. Upon recovery, the attorney will be paid a certain amount or percentage that was agreed upon at the time the client hires the attorney or firm. This is generally used for personal injury matters, workers comp suits and probate cases. The contingency fee has to be reasonable and not excessive and the amount is sometimes statutory. The contingency fee is generally a percentage because the recovery amount is usually unknown until the end.
Regardless of the way you are billed for a case, some issues need to be considered when hiring an attorney. Below are some tips to help you:
- Be sure to get a contract to protect yourself. It is good practice for an attorney to have you sign a contract stating what the billing practices are and what you will be responsible for. If you sign a contract upon hiring an attorney, ask for a copy and be sure to read it carefully before signing.
- Be sure of what you are paying for, i.e. the cost and what services the attorney intends to provide.
- Be sure of payment terms. Ask questions. Are credit card payments allowed? Is there an extra fee to pay with credit or debit cards? How soon after bills are sent will payment be due?
- Regardless of which of the methods above are used, most times clients are responsible for their own filing fees. But some offices also require the client to be responsible for postage, long distance, travel times faxes, letters, calls and emails. NOTE: Speaking of calls-your attorney needs to know important info as it relates to your case, but not always in real time with blow by blow details. Just about all attorneys bill for phone calls and if not, it is still true he/she is not your "friend" to chat it up with. Believe me, you would much rather your attorney be working on resolving your case, then chit chatting with you about who you think is going to win March Madness or your pet fish. You should not be discouraged from calling your attorney, but decide what is important for your case and how urgent it is before you call to chit chat. Besides you are getting billed for it, and most times you have enough "free" friends to chat with that are not billing by the hour. Most times a message is sufficient and your attorney will call you if follow-up is needed.
- Pay your attorney as agreed. Most attorneys are not rich as you would perceive. They have employees (and their employees have families), overhead, CRAZY amounts of student loans and as my son would say 15 year olds who need lots of food and shoes. (my son Rico says "Hello" and "Thanks" by the way)

Attack on Vaatu
Not so explicit details:
- Amazing Korra character development.
- Many heartfelt moments.
- Two very enjoyable episodes.
- It felt like an A:TLA ending, to throw things into perspective.
For those of you who have not heard yet, tonight 12:00 EST they will be airing the LOK SEASON FINALE ON NICK DOT COM. I don't know if they are airing all four of the remaining episodes, I don't know if this is just a joke and we're actually going to be played like a bunch of losers, and I don't know if they are also airing it on television. So just a heads up. Per say they do air it, this blog will probably not be spoiler free (but i'll tag spoilers).
If any of you have any more information please message me so I can post it up here for my followers who don't know what the heck is going on.
So I was going through the thumbnails and stuff that I use for LOK (there are a lot that I don't use) and there was this picture and I can't remember why I made it but here it is…
"I stole it. Cause I'm a thug."
"Who wants to know?"
"Thanks! I'm glad someone is expressing some confidence in me! I'm a little nervous though. And by a little I mean a lot….also what happened to Jinora is bothering me pretty badly…." :(
"Oh my god why would you even tell me that now I'm going to drop the soap. Well you know what I don't need soap anyway…"
"Idk man, I just want to get out of jail, its scary in here, I'm a former thug turned prince, I can't do this jail time anymore, except this free food is pretty good considering its free, but I'm still scared. Send help, SOS anyone who wants to break me out is welcome, pls."

August 27, 2005 - Governor Rod R. Blagojevich today named Arlene and Vernon

People Are Today's Heroes (PATH Award) for their tireless commitment to
rearing over 70 children from the state's child welfare system as well
as adopting four other children.

parents, the Governor and I know the commitment, patience and dedication
it takes to raise children and love them with all our hearts," said
First Lady Patty Blagojevich, who presented the PATH Award to Arlene and
Vernon Coffey on behalf of the Governor. "The extraordinary commitment
that the Coffey's have made over 18 years to welcome children into their
home that have survived abuse and neglect, deserves recognition because
of the vast and everlasting impact it will have on the nearly 75 children
whose lives they have touched. The Coffey's have also diligently worked
as advocates to raise awareness about the merits of fostering and adopting
The Governor's
PATH Award recognizes groups or individuals who, through their hard work
and commitment, have improved the lives of those in their community and
have helped Illinois move forward in the areas of health care, public
safety, education and economic development.
The First Lady presented the Governor's PATH Award to the Coffey's today
during the 20th annual Foster/Adoptive Family Picnic that coincides with
the Du Quoin State Fair where over 1,100 guests convened. DCFS Southern
Region Administrator Bill Peyton joined Mrs. Blagojevich at the award
presentation on behalf of the nation's first child welfare agency that
celebrated its 40th anniversary last year.

adoptive parents. We have gotten back even more than we have given by
having this experience. We hope this award will shine an even brighter
light on the need for more people to become foster parents," said
Arlene Coffey." Her husband Vernon Coffey, who is a retired Illinois
State Police officer added, "We have really enjoyed our years of
fostering, we just tried to give the children the same love and care as
we did our own."
During the
awards presentation, DCFS caseworker Vivian Robinson commended the Coffey's
for contributing countless hours to help other foster parents with difficult
issues and for getting involved with a DCFS clothing drive. "I could
always count on the Coffey's to have room in their hearts for one more
child in need of a family," she said.
In addition
to the Coffey's, Governor's PATH Award recipients announced earlier this
year through DCFS include the Alternative Schools Network, a Chicago-based
not-for-profit organization that provides quality education with a specific
emphasis on inner-city children, youth and adults; Family to Family, a
Peoria-area initiative that helps improve outcomes for children in the
child welfare system; and Rev. Phoenix Barnes, Director of the Fathers'
Center, an East St. Louis-based program of Lutheran Child and Family Services
of Illinois (LCFS) that is a national model for fathering initiatives.

Moderated by Tom Sabulis
Commenting is open.
By Bill Bolling
A recent AJC news story addressed Gov. Nathan Deal's surprising decision to veto a bill in May, which would have reinstated sales tax exemptions for food banks and health centers, because it hadn't been vetted by his competitiveness panel.
Many have asked me how food bank exemptions ended up in front of the Governor's Competitiveness Council with film, technology, energy and other industries. I'm surprised myself.
On behalf of the state's seven food banks and the nearly 2,300 community-based organizations we serve, I recently made our case alongside those industries for sales and use exemptions that are critical to hunger relief efforts in Georgia. At the Atlanta Community Food Bank alone, we can leverage one dollar into $8.47 worth of groceries for struggling families in the communities we serve.
The nonprofit sector has long partnered with the public sector in delivering critical services to the community. We are trusted to work efficiently, and with accountability. We bring private dollars to the table through individual and corporate contributions.
The sales tax exemption we seek for bulk purchase of food — one we had for many years before losing it two years ago — would allow us to buy food to provide hundreds of thousands more meals for Georgia families. In addition, the sales and use tax exemptions for prepared food donated for hunger relief would enable us to accept unsold food from restaurants that would otherwise send that food to a landfill. And should disaster strike, without the exemptions, private-sector disaster-relief donations of prepared food would be taxed.
Since 2010, we have worked with the General Assembly and the lieutenant governor's and governor's offices to renew these exemptions. We have had near-unanimous support, including the endorsement of the Georgia Chamber Economic Development and Taxation Committee. I understand every dollar has to count in this budget environment — all the more reason to make our case to the Governor's Competitiveness Council that food banks can leverage these tax exemption dollars with efficiencies and partnerships in ways that many entities, including the government, cannot.
Gov. Deal said his priority was to create jobs for Georgians. He said people with good paying jobs don't have expectations of government providing for their needs. We agree. But as government wants to play a lesser role in providing benefits for people in need, the nonprofit sector is expected to step up. These exemptions are essential to nonprofits already pressed to stretch resources as we strive to sustain our ability to serve.
Georgia's seven regional food banks have long comprised a reliable network that delivers hunger relief critical to the one in five Georgians who don't know where their next meal will come from. We believe feeding hungry children is a wise, long-term strategy to ensure they grow up healthy and ready to work as adults.
The governor is right in seeking to leverage every exemption Georgia grants. It is my hope and expectation that he will hold his administration accountable to closely examine each entity requesting exemptions before making such an important decision.
Bill Bolling is chairman of the Georgia Food Bank Association.

The governor loaned money to HIS DAUGHTER and HER business failed. He was left with a huge debt , even putting his home for sale. Since then he has been able to recover some of his losses.
Have you ever tried to help your children? Or do you only whine about the children of others? Of do you only whine about the affairs of conservative politicians? (Silly question!)
The governor's business affairs are now placed in trust which means he is not making family financial decisions.
If you really want to see some strange "business" transactions, wipe the tears from your eyes and check out the top officials of Atlanta. at the moment. That might keep you busy enough to stop lambasting our cost containing governor.who is trying to keep the ship of state from sinking.
And don't forget: USA DEBT IS OVER 17 TRILLION DOLLARS and growing. That's a bit murky, too, don't you think?. . .

(Add famous saying here from Famous Sayings book!)
I am glad our governor is so aware of this country's financial difficulties and the problems at the state level. I hope he continues financial integrity in Georgia.. We must have that since there is no leadership in Washington, only disastrous over spending. like we have never seen before.

Billion Dollar Tax Funded New Foot Ball Stadium Has Received far more interest and personal attention from Dear leaders Office than facilitating the Needs of those who provide the poor. Such a Financial Burden should be waived for these proven providers of the least among US.
Obviously the Needs of the Poor are not a PRIORITY at ALL….It seems as though they are being punished and at the same time punishing those who Help Them….Either way, one could not help but think the age old question "What Would Jesus DO?" Surely a decision completely different and the opposite of Dear Leader.

The goal of government is complete societal dependence on them for all things. Dependence breeds obedience and that will seal the deal. Doing everything they can to eliminate the private VOLUNTARY competition is essential to destroying the belief (actually the truth) that everyone can get along fine without any government or government involvement in the economy. It is bad enough that the government already takes a significant portion of everyone's income, thus reducing our ability to give even more to private charities, but moves like this are doing an end run around the enormous generosity we all show despite all that is take from the fruits of our labor. Just another example of how we would all be better off with far, far less government.

The record is one of the better rock albums to come out of the Windy City in recent memory. If you can imagine a band like They Might Be Giants but with a bit more musical talent and a stronger intellectual bent to the lyrics, you'd have something close to the JHMC. Lipchitz is one of the few local rock albums that will stay in my collection (and get listened to frequently) for years to come...

"John Huss has a Master's Degree in Geology and a Ph.D. in Rock. Result: acoustic power pop with lyrics like 'I met your father, he was such a hayseed he makes Howdy Doody look like Lou Reed.'" - 1997 Chicago's New Music Festival program guide.
"literate, driving pop" - Richard Challen, Option, in his review of 100 Watts: Songs From WHPK's Pure Hype
"John Huss, leader of the John Huss Moderate Combo, has one of the most non-singerly singing voices on the planet -- on the band's Braying Mantis 7" (It Won't Go Flat), he sounds like he should be badgering the teller at the booth next to yours instead of fronting a rock band. As a songwriter, though, he puts the words first -- his lyrics are always at least mildly witty, and sometimes more so (as when he's dissing Delaware: 'I come from New Jersey/Our Newark is better than yours'). So he sticks his voice right smack on top of the mix, and guess what? It works perfectly fine. Best joke: 'National Anthem,' a hit and run ditty about hating people produced to sound like it's being sung to start a ball game." - Douglas Wolk, CMJ
"Chicago's own endearing/witty/clumsy solo troubadour, singing tales of tire tools, snorkeling for golf balls and much more, all in his Al Franken-with-a-guitar style. 14 songs in all, and if you're like us you'll play them over and over." - Ajax Records_ catalogue description of the John Huss cassette-album "Pie Aren't Squared"
"the lyrics stand out like stratocasters and hair extensions at a Woody Guthrie tribute" - David Rothschild, New City, 1992 review of cassette album "Folk 'n' Roll."
"Where most rock music is fueled by booze, drugs and a cranky dissatisfaction, the John Huss Moderate Combo's tunes are propelled by pure logophilia. Clever, playful and indefatigable, Huss' wordplay dominates his songs with unexpected rhymes and kaleidoscopic imagery. The only downer is that the lyrics can overshadow the music, which hops across the stylistic spectrum with a light, unerring tunefulness." - Rick Reger, Chicago Tribune
