Questions Possibly Related to Benton Harbor, MichiganProvided By Y! Answers
Would you see the Chicago Skyline from the Benton Harbor/St. Joseph, Michigan?
Question:
The Benton Harbor/St. Joseph area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Michigan. It lies on the shore of Lake Michigan. It is 60 miles east of Chicago (by crossing Lake Michigan). On a clear sunny day in the Lake Michigan beach, the Chicago skyline is visible.
Now would you see the Chicago skyline from Benton Harbor, Michigan?
Answer:
No. There is too much curvature to the earth. Chicago will be below the horizon unless you are considerably up in the air.
As the crow flies, Benton Harbor is 61 miles from Chicago.
According to the formula in Wikipedia, from the observation deck of the Sears Tower, you should be able to see 71 Km which is 44 miles. Since you can't see Benton Harbor from the top of the Sears Tower, you won't be able to see the top of the Sears Tower from Benton Harbor.
The Sears Tower site also says that you can see 40-50 miles on a clear day.

What is the cost of living in China as compared to the US?
Question:
Guangxi Gui, China is the city in China I'm interested in. And I live in Benton Harbor, Michigan
Answer:
The cost of living can be vary in different parts of China. Same with the standard of living. The gap between more developed and less developed regions can be HUGE. Generally coast cities are more developed. About 10 years ago, my monthly expense in Shanghai was about $150(oh yeah, that included everything). No idea about now, but one thing for sure, it's still cheaper than in the U.S.
I know someone who just graduated from college earn about $600 per month and he was not satisfied, again that was in Shanghai.

Trinity UCC (Obama's Church) auto reply received to E-mail?
Question:
Thank you for your interest in Trinity United Church of Christ and for your consideration of our member, Sen. Barack Obama, in the Democratic primary election. Due to the high volume of emails and inquiries, we are unable to respond to each one personally. We were overwhelmed with “hits” after Senator Obama’s historic victory in the Iowa democratic caucus.
Barack Obama has been a member of Trinity United Church of Christ for nearly two decades. As a young community organizer, new to Chicago, Barack met with Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., Trinity’s Senior Pastor, seeking advice. He received good counsel about the complexities of life in Chicago and the challenges faced by residents in poor communities like South Chicago’s Altgeld Gardens.
The United Church of Christ (http://www.ucc.org), Trinity’s denominational affiliation, is “a community of faith that seeks to respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in word and deed.” It was founded in 1957 through the union of several different Christian traditions. Not only does Trinity not exclude anyone from membership or attendance based on race or ethnicity, but:
The majority of UCC members are white; the conference minister of the Illinois Conference of the UCC (Rev. Jane Fisler Hoffman) and her husband (both white) are members of Trinity (You can watch a video of Rev. Hoffman speaking at Trinity about her positive experiences there.); Trinity has been instrumental in working with and lending financial and staff support to the development of new UCC churches in Gary, IN (with the Indiana-Kentucky Conference of the UCC, Milwaukee, WI (with the Wisconsin Conference of the UCC), and Benton Harbor, MI (with the Michigan Conference of the UCC). There is no anti-American sentiment in the theology or the practice of Trinity United Church of Christ. To be sure, there is prophetic preaching against oppression, racism and other evils that would deny the American ideal. Trinity is “Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian.”
Trinity was founded in 1961 and had 87 families when Dr. Wright started his tenure in 1972. Currently, as Dr. Wright anticipates a 2008 retirement, there are more than 8,000 members, 70 ministries, and three Sunday worship services. You and your family can watch these services online at 7:30am, 11:00am and 6:00pm CST.
If you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Senator Obama's office:
Devorah Adler at dadler@barackobama.com Joshua DuBois at jdubois@barackobama.com
Yours in Christ!
Auto reply to:
I am an American.
I believe the money I make belongs to me and my family, not some Liberal governmental functionary be it Democratic or Republican!
I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way!
I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.
I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized, and does not entitle you to anything.
I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, do it in English.
I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.
I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I haven't burned any witches or been persecuted by the Turks and neither have you! So, shut up already.
I believe if you don't like you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country! This is AMERICA.
If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.
Does this make me a Bad American?
Answer:
As the church lady would say "Aint that special?"
That's a church that follows Christ?
LOL
