Police have arrested a Peoria man in the fatal stabbings of a married couple in their home near 67th Avenue and Peoria.
Police say officers arrived at the scene to respond to a stabbing call around 10:45 p.m. Sunday. There, they found the victims, 58-year-old Gwen O'Reilly and her husband 54-year-old Raymond O'Reilly.
There were six other people there when the stabbings happened -- the couple was having a get-together. Witness accounts and evidence led investigators to identify Benjamin Rodriguez as the suspect.
The O'Reilly's were transported to an area hospital where they were pronounced dead shortly after their arrival, and 27-year-old Rodriguez was taken into custody Monday morning.
Police say after the stabbing, Rodriguez fled the scene and they were able to track him down to the area of 112th Avenue and Turney. He had been one of the guests at the social gathering.
"We got a tip..letting us know that the suspect was staying at a relative's home," said Amanda Jacinto of the Peoria police. "We were able to make it to that home and there was nobody else inside except our suspect...after a very short struggle, we were able to get him into custody without further incident."
No officers were hurt during the struggle.
"At this point, it looks like he is just an acquaintance of the male and female," said Peoria Police Lt. Stephen Hadley. "We have had contact with him in the past..not anything of this nature, but we have had police contact."
Rodriguez is facing two counts of first degree murder. A motive for the killings is not known.

Customers lined up early Friday in hopes to be among the first to purchase one of Apple's new iPhones.Eric Vesprini of Macomb says he waited 13 hours outside the AT&T Wireless store in Utica to get his hands on the new iPhone 5S. The 5S, along with the iPhone 5C, went on sale Friday in the U.S., U.K., China, France, Germany, Hong Kong and Singapore."I don't want to wait," said Vesprini, who says he's been waiting two years for Apple to develop its Touch ID fingerprint sensor.Vesprini endured a few early morning thunderstorms, but was able to get his hands on the new iPhone 5S.Customers could order the phones online beginning last week. Orders through Apple's website are already starting to be pushed back to October.If you're in the market for a new phone, which should you get? A barrage of reviews arrived this week, ahead of the release and redesigned software for mobile gadgets. Here's a sampling of what tech reporters, columnists and bloggers are saying:On the iPhone 5C and 5S- Walt Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal: "If you are an iPhone fan with any model older than the iPhone 5, the new 5S will be a big step up. If you own an iPhone 5, there's less of a case for upgrading, unless you want the fingerprint reader and improved camera."- David Pogue, The New York Times: "(The) speed of innovation seems to be slowing down, but don't let that depress you. Focus instead on the silver lining: you can keep your current phone longer without feeling obsolete quite so soon."- Rich Jaroslovsky, Bloomberg: "If you like Apple products, you'll like these; if you don't, you won't."- Anick Jesdanun, The Associated Press: "Who knew biometric authentication could be such a blast?"- Lauren Goode, AllThingsD: "While the 5c looks and feels very familiar, it's still a good phone and an improvement over the 5. But its improvements are evolutionary, not revolutionary."- John Gruber, Daring Fireball: "The 5S is another engineering triumph for Apple (and no slacker in the fashion/branding game either). The 5C, though, is purely an emotional play - and, I think, a winning one."- Scott Stein, CNET: "The iPhone 5S delivers an improved camera, a nifty fingerprint sensor, and a next-gen CPU and motion-tracking chip."On iOS 7:- Darrell Etherington, TechCrunch: "The new mobile operating system is a big visual change, and is likely to feel somewhat disorienting to users upgrading from iOS 6, but in most important ways, it's not that dissimilar from what you're used to, and many of the changes are definitely for the best."- Mat Honan, Wired: "Apple's new iOS 7 represents the most substantial change to the iPhone since it started supporting third-party apps. But as dramatic as the update may look, it doesn't go far enough functionally."- Adam Clark Estes, Gizmodo: "It's not just about the flat design. The first time I laid hands on the new operating system, I felt like I had a new phone, one that looked prettier and, more importantly, felt more useful."Michael Liedtke, The Associated Press (on Sept. 11) "I am already looking forward to downloading the software next week so I can simulate what it's like to have a new iPhone for free."- David Pogue, The New York Times: "It's a radical, huge redesign."- Walt Mossberg, The Wall Street Journal: "Buttons and controls are thinner and lighter and, in the browser, they disappear or shrink to make a little more room for content. Overall, the effect is to make the 4-inch screen seem larger."- The Associated Press contributed to this report

Trayvon Martin's parents expressed their anger and concern over George Zimmerman's claims in his interview with Fox News' Sean Hannity.
Zimmerman -- who is charged in the shooting death of the teen -- apologized to his parents, Tracey Martin and Sybrina Fulton.
They appeared on "Fox and Friends" Thursday morning and said they don't believe Zimmerman's apology was sincere.
"I just feel like he's just saying anything he wants too, and it's not sincere, it's not coming from his heart," said Sybrina Fulton.
"George Zimmerman had ample enough time to apologize to us for taking the life of our son before the first arrest, and to come and try to publicly apologize now, he's just trying to save face," said Tracey Martin.
Martin and Fulton were also bothered when Zimmerman said he had no regrets about the night of the shooting and claimed it was all part of "God's plan."
"I don't understand what he was thinking by saying it that it was god's plan that he murdered our child...I really don't understand what god he worships, because it's not the same god that I worship," said Martin.
"Why would god have him to kill an unarmed teenager...I mean it just makes no sense," said Fulton.
The attorney for the martin parents -- Benjamin Crump -- says the state attorney will look at this interview as a gift and use it during their cross-examination of Zimmerman in court.
Crump says Zimmerman has always had inconsistencies in his story and has had credibility issues. "We don't have enough time in your show to go through all the inconsistencies, but we need only look at the courts order to talk about George Zimmerman's credibility, and the things he said in court during the bond hearing."
Zimmerman has pleaded not guilty and is free on a $1 million bond. His next scheduled court date is August 8th.

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are not dating, despite reports. In Touch magazine made the claim, quoting an insider as saying, "Katie and Jamie have been dating for a while. They're very Mission: Impossible about their romance." But Jamie has put the rumor to rest, telling Entertainment Tonight, "The reports are one hundred percent not true. In fact, it's quite hilarious because we simply danced at a charity event along with a lot of other people." The rumors began after the two danced together at a charity event over the summer.
Two and a Half Men stars Ashton Kutcher and Jon Cryer top Forbes magazine's list of the highest paid actors on TV. Ashton landed at number-one for the second consecutive year with estimated earnings of $24 million. Jon wasn't far behind with $21 million. Their co-star, Angus T. Jones, came in seventh place with $11 million. Former Two and a Half Men star Charlie Sheen, who now appears in the FX network sitcom Anger Management, came in 10th with $10 million. The rest of the Top 5 are Ray Romano, Neil Patrick Harris, Mark Harmon, and Patrick Dempsey.
Kris Humphries is still cashing in on his short-lived marriage to Kim Kardashian. The baller sold the diamond engagement ring he gave the reality TV star for $749,000 at auction yesterday in New York. Kim's 16.2-karat emerald-cut sparkler was valued by Christie's at between $300,000 and $500,000. Kris gave Kim the ring during a scene on her reality show. They wed in August 2011. It lasted 72 days. Their divorce was finalized earlier this year.
Miley Cyrus recently stated that music executives weren't exactly thrilled with her new direction - from squeaky clean child star to provocative pop star. When she told them she wanted to swing naked on a wrecking ball in her latest video, "Wrecking Ball," they were skeptical. Miley explains,
"It can't be like this 70-year-old Jewish man that doesn't leave his desk all day, telling me what the clubs want to hear," she explained. "I've got to be the one doing it because they're just not in on what 20-year-olds are doing."

Resident Evil Becoming Feature Length CG MovieA collaboration between Capcom and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan will result in a full-length computer generated Resident Evil film, Capcom has announced.
Titled Biohazard: Degeneration for Japanese audiences, the movie will, according to Capcom, feature "groundbreaking visual effects and a brand-new storyline" and is planned for a "terrifying release" in 2008.
It is currently unclear if that "brand-new storyline" bit means the feature will deviate from the plot of the game, as Paul W.S. Anderson's live-action trilogy has, or if it will simply investigate another aspect of the franchise's ever-growing zombie-oriented mythology, which goes so far as to encompass zombie elephants.
Other unknown factors include Capcom's plans for distribution--theatrical or straight-to-video--and the timeline of international releases.

There are times when I get asked about how you go about
pairing a wine with food. You could read about it, or give the wine you like to
drink a chance with pretty much anything.
For the latter line, I can't tell you what you like to drink. If you don't enjoy Sauvignon Blanc or Merlot, I can't recommend to you a light, crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a bold yet fruit forward Merlot for a meal, even if it's the choice I would select.
That rule of thumb aside, this video from the folks at Wine Spectator aims to give you an idea about finding a wine when you pull out the grill.
Their website has an entire video series about cooking and pairing wines with their creation. It could help alleviate some uncertainty the next time you think about what wine should go with what food you're about to make.

L'elisir d'amore - Synopsis
L'elisir d'amore
Felice Romani after Augustin Eugène Scribe
Act One
Nemorino is in love with Adina but has nobody in whom he can confide, least of all the woman he adores. He is full of admiration for her: she seems to him to be so clever and, above all, so very beautiful. He laments about himself, however, for being stupid and without means. For her part, Adina is interested in what she has just been reading, the story of Tristan and Isolde. She has also taken a fancy to Belcore, one of a detachment of soldiers stationed in the area. Belcore loses no time in proposing marriage to Adina the first time they meet – he urges her rapid acceptance – the wedding tomorrow and back to the battlefield the day after.
Nemorino is now forced to act: he begs for a word with Adina and tells her how desperately he loves her. But Adina rejects him, saying that his feelings are in vain and he should rather look after his sick old uncle.
A glimmer of hope now appears on the horizon for Nemorino, however, in the person of Dulcamara, who claims to be able to cure all the ailments in the world with his potions. Nemorino asks Dulcamara about the magic potion, an elixir of love, which he has heard Adina reading about in the story of Tristan and Isolde. Dulcamara, who never misses a chance to do business, sells the delighted Nemorino a love potion and promises him that the object of his passion will be his within twenty-four hours. Nemorino has hardly swallowed the elixir – which is a pure Bordeaux – before his self-esteem begins to grow. Nemorino no longer seems worried at the thought of Adina's imminent wedding. This change in Nemorino, his seeming indifference, merely makes Adina defiant. She decides to marry Belcore that same day. Nemorino is horrified as he sees time working against him.
Act Two
As part of the wedding celebrations Dulcamara wants to entertain the guests by singing a barcarolle with Adina; the story tells of how a young gondoliera, Nina, rejects a senator's wealth in order to marry instead the poor young man, Zanetto, whom she loves.
Nemorino – now under pressure – asks Dulcamara for another dose of the elixir, but Dulcamara will not sell him one for less than 20 scudi and Nemorino no longer has enough money. Belcore, who sees in this a good opportunity to get rid of his rival, offers Nemorino 20 scudi if he will enlist in his regiment. Nemorino signs up with no hesitation.
When the rumour spreads that Nemorino's uncle has died, leaving him a fortune, he suddenly becomes a good catch as a husband. Nemorino, who still has not heard the news, puts the amazing behaviour of the village girls down to the fact that the potion he has just bought and drunk is working. Adina, who also has no idea that Nemorino has become so wealthy, is astonished to see how popular he is with the girls – and learns from Dulcamara the supposed reason for Nemorino's behaviour: the elixir. He also offers her a love potion but she declines with thanks – saying she prefers to rely on her own powers of judgement. Out of pity for Nemorino she buys him out of his contract with the military. Nemorino, however, would rather die on the battlefield than live without Adina. Adina finally admits her feelings for Nemorino and breaks her engagement to Belcore, who has no alternative than to follow orders and go off to war. Nemorino is overjoyed and puts his unexpected success with Adina down to Dulcamara's potion – and the latter is also completely amazed by the miracles which his elixir has brought about.

A brutal beating happened in a classroom at a local high school. There were plenty of witnesses who saw it firsthand and on Facebook.
Two girls are not friends, and they are not fond of each other, either. So it is fair to say there is tension between the two.
"I could see her like in the corner whispering to her friends and like saying all this, but I didn't think anything was going to happen because most of the time people just talk," said Katya Adamkiewicz.
However, on Tuesday in a classroom at Hartland High School where a teacher was present just before dismissal, there was knock down, drag out drama.
"I like turned my back, and she like grabbed me by my hair or whatever, threw me to the ground, and I like remember hitting my head and like blacking out," Adamkiewicz explained. "All of a sudden started feeling my nose bleeding."
"This girl had to be pulled off," said mother Aurore Henze. "I feel like my daughter would be dead right now if a teacher didn't intervene."
"I didn't think anybody was videotaping. I just thought that I was going to like walk out of there. I didn't think I was going to be like jumped on from behind," Adamkiewicz said.
"It looked like the whole class was a part of the fight, and everybody knew it was being filmed except for my daughter," Henze said.
Well, maybe not everyone, but it appears the camera operator was prepared to press record prior to the ruckus. The victim, 14-year-old Adamkiewicz, and her attacker were taken to the principal's office.
"I was like is my nose broken? I'm like what's this bump on my head? He's like no it's fine, just put this ice on it. You look fine or whatever. He's like I'm just going write that you and this girl were verbally fighting and then you said something that set her off or blah, blah, blah, and you're going to get a five day suspension, but there's nothing wrong with defending yourself," Adamkiewicz said.
"The school made it sound like it was no big deal," said Henze.
Both girls were suspended. The one who threw the punches was banned from school property for a longer period of time.
However, the day after the punishments were passed out, mom said, "They said they we're sorry. She can come back to school. The suspension was a mistake."
"So I said to the school, obviously you've seen the video, right? And then they said yeah," Henze added.
But if the video is not enough, a trip to the urgent care proves the beat down was brutal. The diagnosis was a bloody, bruised and broken nose and damaged nasal septum.
"Her nose was all black and blue. Her eyes were black," said Henze.
"I'm not going back there. I don't want to be a part of those people," Adamkiewicz said.
"She had been beaten severely," Henze said. "Public humiliation and assault on this level, we're going to prosecute. We're going to take it as far as we can take it because nobody should have to suffer like this."
The pain will go away and the bruises and broken bones will heal, though her pride may not because the video was posted on Facebook and some Adamkiewicz's so called friends have been having a field day posting things such as "who has the video of [name omitted] beating the crap out of [Katya]?" and "it was hilarious."
"That's just sick to me. I certainly didn't think it was funny after or like during it or before," said Adamkiewicz. "I wasn't laughing. I'm not even laughing now. Of course I'm furious. I'm like upset by all of it."
"They're all looking for some live action and they all want to TV stars. It doesn't surprise me, but obviously when it's happening to your child, it hurts so bad," said Henze.
Mom wanted to talk about this because she said the violence and the way some young people are using social media is out of control. She said everyone has to start looking at this problem and dealing with it right away.
A school official with Hartland High School said fights like this are rare, they take it very seriously, and the students are punished according to their actions.

Touch of Seduction Series!
Tristan's grandfather lost the family fortune and the Devonwood earldom still hasn't recovered under his father's tenure. In order to save the estate from disaster, Tristan is determined to wed the daughter of a duke. Lady Florence's dowry is reputedly hefty enough to sink a frigate, so Tristan will shoulder the family's burden, even if it means a loveless match.
When he first lays eyes on Delphinia Preston, he knows she's trouble in a gorgeous blue dress. Despite the rumors about her being a half-gypsy witch, there's something about the grey-eyed beauty that calls to Tristan. And he can't keep himself from answering, even if it means wrecking all his carefully laid plans…
[click on the cover or the title to purchase]
Lady Viola Preston can relieve a gentleman of the studs at his wrists without his being any the wiser and pick any lock devised by man in less than a minute. But she's careful to wear gloves when she steals jewels. Because when Viola touches a gemstone with her bare skin, it "speaks" to her, sending disturbing visions–visions almost as unsettling as the sight of the cool-eyed stranger who catches her red handed.
Now Viola will only be stealing at Greydon Quinn's behest. And even more daunting than the violent history of the red diamond he's after is the prospect of a night in the devastatingly handsome lieutenant's arms. Touch has always been Viola's weakness, and the full body-to-body contact Quinn has in mind is about to shatter her defenses and set her senses reeling.

Jacob Preston has three requirements for a woman desiring access to his bed: She must be enthusiastic in affairs of passion, jaded in matters of the heart, and–to ensure the first two qualifications–she must be married.
Lady Julianne Cambourne has all the makings of a passionate lover, and she certainly shows no signs of sentimentality. . .but her unmarried status should render her firmly off limits to Jacob.
Instead, it proves only a temptation. One that grows stronger when she comes to him in desperation, looking for the kind of answers only he can give. For beyond his rakish reputation, Jacob is known for the mysterious–even otherworldly–power of detection he commands through his sense of touch. And Julianne, surrounded by long-hidden secrets that threaten to ensnare her in a deadly trap, will do whatever it takes to recruit his skills. . . using every form of persuasion at her disposal. . .

Touch of a Scoundrel [Book III]
Griffin Nash, Earl of Devonwood, wants to believe that he's seducing Miss Emmaline Farnsworth out of protectiveness for his young brother. After all, if his brother is convinced that the tantalizing professor's daughter is unworthy of his trust, perhaps Teddy will lose all interest in such an inappropriate choice for his station.
But in truth, something else motivates Devonwood: a scintillating vision he's had of a future tryst with the lovely Emmaline. A vision too realistic to be doubted–and too scaldingly passionate to be denied.
Yet Emmaline is not as easily tempted as Devonwood might have hoped–nor is she actually in pursuit of a wealthy husband. No, the real reason for her visit to the manor is something much more shocking. . . though being enticed by a dashing earl may prove to be a most welcome by-product of her schemes. . .

The CPC 800 XLT combines large-aperture Schmidt-Cassegain optics with an innovative GoTo fork mount for a price that is hard to resist. The 8" (203mm) f/10 optics boast Celestron?s proprietary StarBright XLT high-performance coatings to ensure bright images. The altazimuth mount offers computerized pointing to 40,000+ astronomical objects via the flash-upgradeable hand controller, so you will never run out of amazing things to observe.
The telescope?s internal Global Positioning System (GPS) system and revolutionary new SkyAlign technology make quick work of the initial alignment for computerized operation. The GPS automatically downloads date and time information from orbiting satellites and pinpoints the telescope?s location on Earth. This eliminates the need for you to manually enter the date, time, longitude, and latitude. And with SkyAlign, you just aim the scope at any three bright stars or planets in the sky - you don?t even have to know their names! Then -- presto! - the telescope is oriented and ready to take you wherever you want to go.
User-definable filter limits make navigating through the expansive object database fast and easy. Filter Limits let you filter out objects that are outside of your local horizon (i.e., if trees or mountains are in the way). The Identify feature tells you what you?re looking at, but it can also be a very fun way to tour around the sky. Just point the telescope up somewhere and ask it to identify Messier objects (for instance) and it will show you the 5 nearest M objects to your position and let you go to them. You can keep doing this for different parts of the sky or for different object types.
The newly designed tripod has heavy-duty stainless steel legs and a spreader bar for excellent rigidity. Other features include periodic error correction (PEC), an autoguider port, and input for 12-volt power. Two-year limited warranty.

The StarBright XLT System - What Makes It Different Makes It Better
Celestron is proud to introduce a revolutionary coating system that outperforms any other coating in the commercial telescope market. All Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes sold by Orion include this premium-quality optical coating.
There are three major components that make up Celestron?s StarBright XLT high transmission optical system design:
1. Unique enhanced multi-layer mirror coatings
The mirror coatings are made from precise layers of Aluminum (Al), SiO2 (quartz), TiO2 (Titanium Dioxide), and Si02. Reflectivity is fairly flat across the spectrum, optimizing it for both CCD imaging and visual use.
2. Multi-layer anti-reflective coatings
Made from precise layers of MgF2 (Magnesium Fluoride), and HfO2 (Hafnium Dioxide). A rare element costing nearly $2,000 per kilogram, Hafnium gives us a wider band pass than Titanium, which is used in competing coatings.
3. High Transmission Water White glass
Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain optical systems with StarBright XLT coatings use Water White glass instead of Soda Lime glass for the corrector lens. Water White glass transmits about 90.5% without anti-reflective coatings. That is 3.5% better transmission than uncoated Soda Lime glass. When Water White glass is used in conjunction with StarBright XLT?s anti-reflective coatings, the average transmission reaches 97.4% - an 8% improvement!
These three components of StarBright XLT coatings result in one of the finest coatings available. The peak transmission for the systems is 89% at 520 nm. The overall system transmission is 83.5% averaged over the spectrum from 400 to 750 nm.
NexRemote Telescope Control Software
NexRemote allows the user to control a Celestron computerized telescope from a personal computer. Everything that is done using the telescope?s hand control can now be done remotely from a PC or laptop. NexRemote provides full emulation of every aspect of the Celestron Computerized Hand Control including:
In addition to emulating the NexStar Hand Control, NexRemote adds powerful new features including:

Brownsboro High School implemented its Shelter-In-Place response plan Monday morning as a result of a threat made against one of its students.
Information was given to school administrators Monday morning that a Smith County resident had made threats against a Brownsboro High School student, specific and credible enough that school officials responded with Shelter-In-Place.
"Shelter-in-Place", according to the superintendent, is usually used during severe weather. The students were in class, but no one was allowed in the halls. The front door was the only door accessible to visitors, and the campus was closely monitored by law enforcement personnel.
"Our school district Chief of Police and campus administration did an exceptional job of using common sense to preserve the integrity of the school day, while at the same time, responding quickly and effectively to the threat," Brownsboro ISD superintendent Dr. Chris Moran said.
The Brownsboro Police Department, Henderson County Sheriff, and BISD Police force coordinated an effort to arrest the suspect in Smith County shortly after the threat was reported.
"Parents, students, and staff in Brownsboro ISD, which includes the City of Chandler, should feel confident to know that school safety and the safety of our students is the most important thing," Moran said.
The Shelter-In-Place ended at 9:55 AM, only an hour after the information was reported, and Moran said students at Brownsboro High School did not miss any instructional time.
The suspect was charged with Terroristic Threat, a 3rd degree felony and transported to Henderson County Jail where he is being held on $10,000 dollars bond. So far, no word on the suspect's identity.

Series: Creation, Evolution, and the Over-Active Imagination (2 entries)
"The Language of God" Book Club – Chapter 4
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Are We Genetically Predisposed to Believe in God?
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Why Strict Atheism Is Unscientific
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Series: Genesis Through Ancient Eyes (5 entries)
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Caution! Design Arguments Ahead
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
Understanding Evolution: The Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity, Part 1
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
A Biologist's Perspective
In today's video, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.

Griller like burgers, grilled veggies
19 comments:
Yay more grilling ideas!ReplyDelete
Too bad about your ceiling now. That's totally odd. Hope you are doing okay.
cripes! your ceiling fell in??? that is wicked bad luck. i'm sorry...i hate shit like that...ReplyDelete
but i do love grilled veggies. (on a positive note) especially asparagas.
ever try grilling portabellos? Mmm....
Didn't you know that ceilings falling down on you is a sign of good luck? Poor Mel.ReplyDelete
Love the Melo Burgers. Yum. What a great concotion.
Hope you feel better soon--this, too, shall pass.
very impressive that you made veggie burgers that don't fall apart on the BBQ!ReplyDelete
Those burgers sound awesome! I love grilling out.ReplyDelete
Sorry 'bout your ceiling caving in and still being sore from your fall and the heat and insomnia. Try and take it easy Melo!
Looks delicious. Love the use of colorful vegetables.ReplyDelete
Woah, Melody. Your luck is about to change. This is already enough with the bad stuff. From your fall to your neighbors getting hit with the tree from the storm to your ceiling collapse. YIPES. That is ALL you should have to deal with already. Hope your body continues to heal well and that you can get some good sleep starting TONIGHT.ReplyDelete
Love the burger creation. I am not sure about using Lipton soup mixes but there are others that're "kosher" and pareve that i use and looooooooove for dips and for marinating. I am so happy you found a way to make your own "burgers" that are super yummy.
Ya gotta love when someone asks about something you made from scratch if it really is something you made from scratch. That's a compliment, isn't it?! No one ever asks ME that! HA!! I take the easy way out way too often. I agree about Grillers... that's one MorningStar Farms product i have never been into for the same reason you back off from them. Too weirdly "meaty" tasting.
Please take good care of you, Melody! *HUGS*
wow that stinks about your house!!ReplyDelete
I feel for you
Melody, I'm sure you're on the road to better times now!ReplyDelete
At least your burgers look absolutely delicious. I second the motion for a recipe!
Thanks for stopping at my blog. I've really enjoyed reading about all your adventures! Take care of yourself!
That looks delish. I love grilled vegetables and the colorful assortment is always pleasing to the eye as well.ReplyDelete
Oh my goodness, that's terrible about your ceiling. I'm glad you are ok. How scary! I also wish you a speedy recovery from your fall.
Hey girl - made the veggie curry last night and it was soooooo good!! Thanks a lot for the recipe, we really loved it.ReplyDelete
I got my braces ties changed this morning (I have clear ones), so the curry recipe was just in time to stain my old ones. No more curry for me...at least for 5 weeks. I'm bummed that I can't have the leftovers.
(Ryan isn't bummed - more for him!)
Those look excellent!ReplyDelete
OMG! I hope things get better for you and you get your ceiling fixed! Sorry to hear you are still in pain.ReplyDelete
Those veggie burgers and grilled veggies look very yummy. What a good idea to use the mustard container for the dressing, shake up the excess with the other ingredients... Very smart.
melody, I also require ear plugs and a sound machine to sleep. I can't sleep without them (we even have two noise machines, one is our travel noise machine). I sleep very lightly even with them, waking up several times a night. It's nice (is that the right word?) to find someone else who has the same issues!!ReplyDelete

Shirley,I bet this was a typical day for you. I have been called names at SHS for having to tell a dog owner we are full and they can try us again next week, but they seem to think we MUST take their dear animal in. It just amazes me the way people think their problems MUST be solved the way they want them by us or anyone else. I wish you only Wonderful days and no one acting as if you owe them your services because they say so. You all and Amy must be Saints and Love all animals. God Bless you. Please say Hi next time, as you always do, when you see me at SHS...
They had their Staff Party today and I am Thrilled they do that as the Staff there deserve it so much.
Hugs and Wonderful thoughts for you.

Submitted by Dick Hooker | December 2 2011 | Permalink
I can relate to parents telling their kids that if they misbehave the big bad policeman was going to take them to jail. Now the kid is afraid of the one thing that can help them out if they need it. All so the comment the women made to her chid about Shirley wants to kill her dogs was way out of line and calling shirley a bitch lets me know she is a low life and not to be taken seriously. I always had a policy of giving anyone ten minutes to cuss me out or call me anything they want unless they laid a hand on me and then is when they went to the ground. Also after the ten minutes of verbal abuse is when the party ended and the hammer fell. One thing about law enforcement is it is a challenging job and seldom has a dull moment. Shirley is my daughter and I am proud of her and glad she followed her dad into law enforcement. Keep up the good work sweetie.

Oh Shirley- I just loved the article.Since I was little, I can always remember you being so kind and gentle with animals.

Shirly Zindler really is an angel. For what she does, there are not enough thanks in the world. Compassion for animals of all shapes and sizes is in short demand. reading her story makes me want to drop everything and do what she does.
She really is an "angel"!
And thank you, Bark, for sharing her story. I look forward to more of her adventures in future issues.

I am, once again, both thrilled and humbled by the outpouring of support for my blog. This is such a wonderful opportunity to show what we do and give a voice to animals in need. The number of fabulous dogs and other pets waiting for homes is mind boggling. I have been blessed to share our home with so many of them. There is something to be learned from every person and creature we come in contact with. Often its the dogs that have the most to teach.

Submitted by shadyladymiami | March 6 2012 | Permalink
If you only knew how heartening it is to know that there are cities who actually run their Animal Control FOR the animals, for the citizens, and do so compassionately AND efficiently. Unfortunately I live on the opposite end of the country in Miami Florida, also known as Havana North. The animals are treated as I assume they must have been in Cuba and it is not good. Animal Control is underfunded understaffed and unconcerned. The citizens have fought for 20 years to get the County to acknowledge the huge problem of dogs left running loose in the South end of the County, starving, packing up and reproducing! What we GOT was a ridiculous ban on Pit Bulls including Staffordshires and ANY mix that 'looks' like it might have some PIT in its background. NOT even ONE cruelty officer employed in the entire County, and not a single truck equipped to handle injured animals, and a shelter that euthanizes 80-100 animals every single day. The cruelty that goes on in this County is unbelievable. From abandonment, torture, starvation; to legal sacrifice of animals for Santaria and illegal slaughter for black market sale of meat of every kind of animal including horses, ponies and donkeys (some stolen, many from 'free to a good home' ads!) NO animals are ever killed compassionately. In fact, it seems the more blood and terror and pain involved, the better the humans involved like it. It is not like living in America down here, in so many ways. As a native I can deal with the language barrier, the employment problems for those who don't speak Spanish, the attitudes, the clannishness, etc. But what we deal with down here in the way animals are used and abused makes it unbearable for many and many have packed up and moved. I wish I could follow them!

Hi Shirley! Thank you so much for posting this! I'm an avid animal lover, and my whole life I've wanted a career like yours! I watch Animal Cops every day, and I do not think I will ever be happy or fulfilled without becoming an officer like you. Could you please shed some light on how you acquired your job? I need all the help I can get!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write about what your "typical" day. I loved reading it and your insight on how different people view your work. I am considering a career change from occupational therapist to animal control officer and any information is welcome. I am in my late 40s but still very fit and active. Do you think my age will be an issue? Is there an age limit on entering this field? Thanks!

A young executive was leaving the office late one evening when he found the CEO standing in front of a shredder with a piece of paper in his hand.
"Listen," said the CEO, "this is a very sensitive and important document here, and my secretary has gone for the night. Can you make this thing work for me?"
"Certainly," said the young executive. He turned the machine on, inserted the paper, and pressed the start button.
"Excellent, excellent!" said the CEO, as his paper disappeared inside the machine. "I just need one copy..."

Food passes from the stomach to the small intestine. In pyloric stenosis, food cannot pass freely because the entrance between the stomach and the small intestine narrows. The narrowing is caused by the enlargement of the pylorus (the muscle at the entrance to the stomach). Almost all cases of pyloric stenosis happen in very young babies (usually 3-12 weeks old). This problem happens about 2-4 times out of every 1,000 births. It is much more common in males than in females. The sooner pyloric stenosis is treated, the fewer problems will result and the healthier your baby will be, so if you think your child has this condition, contact your doctor immediately.

Pyloric stenosis is rarely present at birth, but develops soon afterward. Its exact cause is unknown, but it is believed to be partly inherited, as cases of pyloric stenosis tend to run in families.
Your doctor will ask about symptoms your child is experiencing and about his or her medical history. He or she will also perform a physical examination. An olive-shaped knot caused by the presence of pyloric stenosis is often felt by the experienced examiner. If your baby is diagnosed with pyloric stenosis, you and your family will be referred to a pediatric surgeon (a doctor specializing in surgery in children).
Pyloric stenosis is treated with a surgery called a
, with your baby asleep under anesthesia. In a pyloroplasty, the outside of the pylorus muscle is cut to relieve the blockage. Prior to surgery, fluids and electrolytes will be given intravenously to correct the dehydration and electrolyte imbalances that are common in babies with pyloric stenosis. After the operation, fluids are given by vein until the baby can take all of his normal feedings by mouth.
There are no known ways of preventing pyloric stenosis, although it is possible that breastfeeding might reduce the risk.

EA Predicts PS3 to Outsell 360 In 2008Electronics Arts is projecting that the PlayStation 3 will outperform the Xbox 360 in North American and European sales in 2008, according to a PDF detailing estimated hardware sales for the year.
The document details EA's expectation that the PS3 will sell five to six million units in Europe in the 2008 calendar year, while settling the Xbox 360 at 1.5 to 2.5 million units in the region. Both consoles are projected to sell evenly in North America, moving five to six million units each.
Total sales among both territories put the PS3 from 3 to 3.5 million units ahead of the Xbox 360 in EA's projections. Perhaps not surprisingly, the document lists Nintendo's Wii at the top of the heap, estimating total sales from 12 to 14 million units in 2008.

Former Student Settles With School District After Alleging Coaches Forced Her to Admit She Was Gay
