Welcome to our site, we review STD testing services and provide you with our professional recommendation where you can get tested discreetly, for an affordable price, with fast results. Getting tested is easy, all it requires is a blood and urine sample. Know your status!
One of the best and trustworthy confidential express STD testing services is STD Check. At the moment they are the only company offering a full 10 panel test which also includes Hepatitis! All tests are approved by the FDA.
The procedure is the same as with our other recommended services. You first order your test online, select a lab locations nearby, visit the lab and then wait for your results. 100% discreet and anonymous, the results of the test(s) will be available online in 1-2 business days or less and only accessible with a special login.
Why pay for testing if you can get it for free? What's the advantages of a service like STD Check Dot Com compared to free STD testing?
- Privacy, in a free STD testing clinic virtually everybody knows why you are there. Meeting a friend, relative or neighbour in this situation is a rather unpleasant imagination.
- 4000+ lab locations to choose from. The number of free clinics is very limited in most areas, you have to drive and wait for a long time.
- No physical exam or swabbing required, just a blood and urine sample. In free clinics an exam is mandatory.
- Herpes and Hepatitis test available, free clinics normally don't test for it.
- Special HIV early detection RNA test available, accurate after 9 to 11 days after possible exposure.
- Doctor consult included, no office visit necessary to discuss treatment if you have a STD.
- No proof of income and/or welfare eligibility necessary, low cost.
Overall, paid STD testing via a reputable service is well worth the money, results have the same accuracy, but with additional comfort, faster results and total privacy.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases and You
Although the CDC and ASHA doing a a lot of prevention work, the are more than 1 million new Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections in the United States each and every year. Younger women and men are the biggest group of patients with STDs. Especially those two most common STDs may cause only mild or no symptoms and can often only be found with proper testing.
Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infected individuals have a significantly higher risk getting HIV when having sexual intercourse with a HIV infected person. Chlamydia is also one of the most common reasons for female infertility if an infection isn't detected for many years. Just a few reasons to act now, there are many more!
Except for HIV, treatment is very easy and won't hurt at all, in most cases one or two weeks of antibiotics will safely eradicated Chlamydia, Trichomonasis and/or Gonorrhea. Testing is easy and comfortable, so there is no reason not to do it, especially if you have a new partner and want to make sure you are both healthy and sexual intercourse without condoms isn't a major risk.
There are two common ways of testing, to see a local doctor or testing center or to do a discreet test at home. Home test kits must meet high standards to be absolutely reliable, so using FDA-approved tests that physicians is vital. Do never buy any unapproved cheap tests from China or any sources that are not trustworthy!
Home tests can be done for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomoniasis and HIV, the process is simple:
- Order your testing kit, you will get a printable receipt.
- Select a professional partner lab near you location by using the ZIP code search feature on the website, the next lab is probably just 5 miles or less away.
- Get your blood drawn/provide urine sample at the lab and wait 2 to 3 days
- Once the analysis is finished you can view your results online on a secure page only you can access with your login. Your confidential test results are reviewed by a licensed doctor, no-one else has access to them.
- 100% discreet, your privacy is guaranteed. No medical records, no insurance notifications.
Although the tests are extremely accurate, please note that all STDs have a so-called window period. That's the time you have to wait after exposure and possible infection until the bacterial, viral or antibody level is high enough for reliable testing. For Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Trichomoniasis this period is very short, a week on average, often only a few days. For HIV this period is significantly longer, normally three months to half a year. Testing too early could result in false negative results. A special HIV early testing method which is slightly more expensive works after 3 weeks. This more combined test looks for HIV antigen and antibodies, instead of antibodies only. The most advanced method is a HIV RNA test, which can detect the virus itself directly at about 9-11 days (sometimes as short as 6 days) after a possible infection, but it costs about $150 more than the antibody/antigen tests.
Make sure to protect yourself and your sexual partners until you have the final result if you are assuming you could have a STD, always use condoms!
Common useful blood tests
Blood tests can be used for a huge variety of purposes: allergy testing, diabetes testing, genereal health checkups, pregnancy testing, comprehensive heart health testing, cancer testing and many more, including but not limited to STDs. They often allow an early diagnosis of severe diseases, so getting your blood testing at least once a year is absolutely recommended.
A cheap, easy and discreet way is simply visiting Personal Labs, the site offers a huge variety of tests. Take control of your health care, they even offer a very good symptom checker with detailed listing a symptoms of many common diseases and dangerous health conditions.
Even better, you don't just save a trip to the doctor's office, but additionally get a 10% off discount with the coupon code shown in the image above. The coupon is valid for all orders, no matter which type of test, no matter how many tests. Want to save even more than 10%? Use code: PERS3NA15 for 15% off any $150+ order.
According to the CDC, there are e.g. 31 states with more than 8% of all adults suffering from diabetes, zero states with less than 5%. Heart diseases are the number one cause of death with almost 600,000 deaths in the US each year. While there is no need to panic, there are many good and valid reasons to get your blood tested now.
Home Access & Oraquick Test System
If you are looking for a cheap, discreet and 99.9% accurate HIV test only, we recommended the FDA approved "Home Access HIV – 1 Express Test System" which is available via Amazon and other retailers. A quick overview of all the advantages:
- It's below $60, no hidden fees or additional costs
- It ships discreetly in neutral packaging as if you ordered a book or DVD
- It's anonymous, statistical questions will be asked if the pre-registration by phone, but they are optional
- It's officially approved by the FDA
- There a toll-free helpline number you can call if you want, optional
- Collecting the blood sample with the little lancet and specimen card is really easy
- Sealable specimen return pouch to keep your specimen card safe and
- Prepaid sealable cardboard envelope for sending you specimen back to Home Access
Bottom line: It's almost as good as testing in a local lab or at your doctor. This isn't an early detection test and the accuracy of the result strongly depends on following the manual exactly, step by step. For most accurate results, we recommend lab testing over home testing.
A question we get asked very often: Is there any reliable test that doesn't require sending a blood sample anywhere, maybe something that works completely without any blood sample?
Yes, there is, but we wouldn't recommend it. In July 2012 the FDA approved (see USA Today) the first at home mouth swab test called OraQuick. A similar testing method is used by the relatively popular service myLab Box. The problem is the accuracy. While 99% of the people who are HIV negative received the right result with this test, only 92% of the HIV positive people in the test group were correctly detected as carrying the virus. This means there is a chance of about 8% that the test delivers a false negative result in case you are HIV positive.
If you want to give it a try anyway, cost is about $50. It's still much better than not testing yourself at all, but the additional comfort comes at the price of less accuracy than blood based tests. For the latest studies and other useful information, you can always check the official government website MedlinePlus with a great medical encyclopedia and the latest news on diagnosis and treatment of STDs
Recommended third party resources
The John Hopkins University started a great service called "I Want the Kit" (IWTK) some time ago, offering a free vaginal, penile and rectal home std test kit for residents from Maryland, Washington DC, and Alaska to get tested for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and trichomonas. All residents of these states over 14 years of age are eligible. Additionally, the University offers free HIV testing for adults over 18 years of age from Baltimore City, Baltimore, Harford, Anne Arundel, Howard and Montgomery Counties in Maryland for a study. Results are available online after sending back the kit for analysis, of course protected by a secure login noone else except you has access to. Unfortunately this service is limited to the states and counties mentioned above, people from other states can't participate in the study or get a free kit.
Another interesting free service comes from the Medical Institute for Sexual Health, the Online STD Wizard or short STD Wizard. It's an anonymous online risk asessment quiz that tells you about your personal risk and recommended tests and screenings after answering. While it is helpful, it's more like a game to raise awareness for STDs and the ways of infection. Your descision to get tested shouldn't depend on any online quiz, in general, we'd always recommend a full panel test.

Annual gill net sampling confirms what anglers have been saying about Lake Powell.
Striper numbers are highest near the inflowing tributaries and less at midlake. Numbers increase again near the dam. Physical condition decreases with fish size. Healthiest fish are near the inflowing Colorado and San Juan rivers. All of this correlates to shad location and abundance. Lake Powell has peaked in game fish population numbers and now must experience a population downsizing before balance between predators and prey is regained.
Anglers can do their part by catching and keeping all striped bass. Striper schools are not hard to find as many fishing hotspots still remain. Fishing with anchovy bait is the best way to find fish and keep them biting under the boat. Large schools of striped bass are holding in deep water just waiting for food. Toss a little chum, followed by a baited hook and catch as many stripers as you dare in a short time. A few of the southern hotspots include: the back of Warm Creek near Crosby Canyon, the mouth of Padre Canyon, the back of main Rock Creek near the gravel island. These fish will most likely be seen on the graph at 70 feet. After chumming and catching a few on bait, the school will rise off the bottom and come into visual range. When near the surface they can be caught on hard baits and even surface lures. When the school descends again they can be started once more with anchovy chum. One hundred fish per trip is common but adult fish are not in prime condition. Keep all fish but fillet the smaller ones.
In the northern lake the hotspot is between the mouth of White and Trachyte canyons (MM 134-135). More shad equates to more aggressive fish that can be taken by your choice of trolling, casting, spooning, or bait fishing. Start at the mouth of White Canyon for best results. Fish size ranges from 1-2 pounds with some larger ones. Fish health here is excellent. Other good spots include Blue Notch/Red Canyon, and Cedar Canyon but these pale in comparison to White Canyon.
The San Juan features good numbers of striped bass that can be caught trolling along the walls of the great bend or on spoons and bait in the cuts and deep drops in the 50-70 foot range. The best fishing is in Neskahi and Cha bays and the cuts leading to the ends of canyons.
The lake midsection has some spots to avoid. The Rincon has almost unbelievable water clarity, which is beautiful but makes fishing tough. Stripers here are in very poor condition. At midlake make sure fishing is done in water with some color to increase chances of success. Avoid crystal clear water during the day.
Bass fishing at clear water locations could be successful during low light periods in deep water or by throwing very long casts.

2012 Pommard Les Rugiens Louis Jadot
Bt (75cl)
Bt (75cl)
0 immediate, 3 marketplace
Average critic rating : 91.0 points
The 2012 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens is more feminine, more refined and delineated on the nose than Louis Jadot's two other premier crus, the class of the terroir evident. The palate is medium-bodied with crisp ripe tannins, good acidity and a structured, focused and tensile finish. Frederic Barnier has fashioned a Pommard the expresses Les Rugiens with both class and conviction. ||One statement nonchalantly uttered by head winemaker Frederic Barnier not only summed up the 2012 vintage, but the plight of Burgundy in recent years. "We have lost around one and a half crops out of the last four." Imagine losing your equivalent income? For a significant negociant such as Louis Jadot, one that under outgoing(ish) winemaker Jacques Lardiere and his successor, have constantly striven for quality, that dearth of fruit has a major impact. The dramatic decrease in crop means that more people are "fighting" for top quality contracted fruit. The rise in land prices has exacerbated the problem as few can afford to buy vineyards and therefore resort to building small negociant businesses and join the queue. Now, small operations that just require one flagship barrel of grand cru might just be able to afford to pay over the odds. However, a merchant such as Jadot simply cannot afford to do that when they need dozens of barrels to satisfy worldwide demand. So how do they do it? "Relationships," answers Frederic, "It all comes down to relationships with our contracted growers." For evidence of that, just flick down to my review of their Bienvenue-Batard-Montrachet that came a whisker away from never being made. So with all the sturm und drang, how are Louis Jadot faring? Suffice to say that Frederic seems to have slipped into Jacques Lardiere's impossible-to-fill shoes by simply slipping into his own. There was a confidence about him when I conducted two morning sessions with him, though he never crosses the line into braggadocio. The first tasting focused on a complete horizontal of the white. "The (white) 2012s were very rich," he remarked. "Some of the village crus were overwhelmed and they were too fat and heavy. So in order to maintain freshness we blocked the malo-lactic through sulfur addition." Frederic goes into more detail of the vintage in the accompanying video, but the main point is that the skins were thick and the berries yielded very little juice. This meant that he had to exact a very prudent vinification in order to eke out the free-run juice without leeching hard, bitter, perhaps astringent elements. He appears to have done exactly that. While I would not say that it was an unmitigated success, after all when you annually produce 100 crus there are bound to be some that don't quite make the grade, Louis Jadot's 2012s continue a fine run of form that disprove the theory that large-scale merchants cannot produce wine equal if not better than bijou growers. And that comes from a lot of sweat and tears. Frederic rued that he had not seen his wife or children over the previous four weeks during the harvest! But these prenatal wines appear to have made that temporary estrangement worthwhile. These samples were all taken from barrel and prepared by Frederic Barnier on the same morning of my arrival, with as much effort to reflect the final blend as possible. Note that for the village crus, samples did not include deselected premier crus barrels that will obviously ameliorate those wines. eRobertParker.com.December, 2013
Louis Jadot: The Importance
Maison Louis Jadot is highly commended by Robert Parker, who calls them "probably the best run negociant firm in Burgundy" and writes that "one can be almost certain that a Jadot wine from Burgundy, from whatever part of their enormous spectrum of wines, including those of villages level, will possess clarity of flavour and a site-specific distinction." Antonio Galloni and Allen Meadows also regularly give top scores to Jadot.
Due to Burgundy's intracacies, Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines from Louis Jadot are no less rare or sought after than their counterparts from smaller growers, meanwhile the quality tends to be much more reliable because of the scale of their operation and their extraordinary range of terroirs and climats combined with expert winemaking and vineyard management.
Louis Jadot: The Insight
Robert Parker says that "it is hard to single out individual stars in the illustrious Jadot nebula, but their long- keeping Pinot Noir from the monopole Beaune Clos des Ursules (part of the Vignes Franches premier cru) is something of a flagship, and the Jadot Musigny and Jadot Chevalier -Montrachet Les Demoiselles frequently represent the summits of Jadot artistry." This last wine has also wowed Allen Meadows, who calls it "without question a reference standard example of a great Chevalier. The purity, elegance and sheer beauty of this wine is frankly difficult to adequately describe as words just don't seem up to the task."
Counting Grands Crus alone, Jadot have Chardonnay plantings in Corton Charlemagne, Corton Grèves and Corton Pougets as well as Le Montrachet, Chevalier Montrachet, Bâtard-Montrachet, Bienvenues-Bâtard-Montrachet and Criots-Bâtard-Montrachet making some of the finest white Burgundies on the market. The Grand Cru list of reds is no less impressive, featuring Bonnes-Mares, Chambertin, Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Charmes-Chambertin, Chapelle-Chambertin, Mazis-Chambertin, Laticières-Chambertin, Griotte-Chambertin, Clos de la Roche, Clos de Vougeot, Clos Saint-Denis, Echezeaux, Grands Echezeaux, Musigny, Richebourg and Romanée-Saint-Vivant.
According to Robert Parker: "there is no Jadot house style, save for rich, well-delineated, structured wines that stand the test of time." The incredible range of quality wines produced by Jadot in every kind of cru is best understood in the words of the legendary technical director Jacques Lardière: "There are so many great wines made in the less well-known villages, and if people want to find great value and great wines, it is very, very possible if they will look beyond the most famous appellations. All it takes is a little imagination. Look at the hill of Corton for instance- we have Corton Pougets, Corton "Grèves and a Corton rouge that are all fantastic wines – deep, structured and beautiful expressions of their underlying terroir. Or look at a wine like the Savigny-lès-Beaune Clos des Guettes or Pommard "Rugiens – just great wines year in and year out!"
Louis Jadot: The Background
Jacques Lardière retired in December 2012 but then almost immediately got back to work setting up the Résonance in Williamette Valley, Oregon. The current face of the winery Frédéric Barnier worked alongside Lardière for several years before taking over, just as a generation ago Lardière himself apprenticed under the renowned André Gagey.
Skills have been handed down at Jadot since 1826, when the Domaine was established as one of the earliest Burgundy negociants. After the Second World War, the domaine benefitted from investment by American importer Kobrand. This partnership was negotiated by Rudoph C. Kopf, who founded the prestigious wine importing company in 1944 and headquartered its offices in the Empire State Building. Kopf already commanded the respect of the American market, having set up the fine wine department at New York City's iconic department store Macy's. Kobrand helped Jadot to continue acquiring prestigious Burgundy domaines, some of which are still referenced on labels today, such as Duc de Magenta, Gagey, Ferret and the recently successful Château des Jacques in Beaujolais.

You sure about that?Are you mixing them up with analogue inputs? They are not the same thing.
... if you want to hack the tracks and initialise those as analogue functions you can do, but you then loose the functionality of what they are assigned to at the moment.
can I just use analogRead(0-15)?
Will I have to change the source to the IDE
... Or you can directly access the hardware and do all the other stuff associated with a read as well.
but does "directly access" imply flashing the chip without the IDE?
So if I don't want to modify the IDE and the bord, I only have 10 analog inputs?
Quote from: sandsound on Nov 22, 2012, 01:55 amSo if I don't want to modify the IDE and the bord, I only have 10 analog inputs?It is twelve isn't it?

Paul Zenon: Off The Street, On The Road
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2002
After a break of five years Paul Zenon, self-proclaimed conman and wideboy, returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with a brand new show.
Original Review:
Paul Zenon's certainly no Paul Daniels. And, despite the street magic theme, this show doesn't put him in the David Blaine school of cool either.
He is certainly an excellent illusionist with an easy-going line in self-deprecating banter - a bit too safe to be called edgy, but giving the sometimes tired art form enough of a twist to keep things interesting.
His opening gambit, for instance, is a refreshing take on the old trick cutting lengths of rope in half - but Zenon uses the microphone cable. You might have seen him do this before, as this is more a greatest hits collection than an entire new show, but it's still impressive.
He also has a new twist on the dreary old interlocking rings trick, using jewellery from audience members instead of the usual cumbersome props. It looks like it's a stunning illusion, but it's far too intimate to work in the vast ballroom of the Assembly Rooms.
There are plenty of stunning tricks here - producing a bowling ball from a jotter pad, apparently slashing a punter's jacket and materialising a torn-up playing card inside a cigarette.
But, as Zenon points out himself, the biggest cheer of the night is for downing a pint in one.
That's probably because his likeable patter has endeared him to the audience as a loveable blokish rogue who is, in the words of the Fast Show character, "a little bit woooh, a little bit wahay".
His patter is littered with gags - some good, some appalling, but certainly delivered with confidence and style.
It all makes for a sturdy hour's entertainment. Not perhaps as cutting-edge the image suggest - well, unless you're only ever seen cruise ship magicians before - but solid, reliable and fun.

Rich Dudley - 12/08/2002
The review above states "...despite the street magic theme, this show doesn't put him in the David Blaine school of cool either..." A pretty ironic statement seeing as when watching one of Blaine's TV specials, Paul was horrified to find that Blaine had stolen his tricks and was performing them as his own! Keep up the good work Paul - you're a natural entertainer who doesn't have to resort to publicity stunts to amaze and delight your fans.

I'm using standard Wire library.Code hangs in twi_readFrom() function waiting for TWI_MRX changed value.I tried another custom I2C library (by Wayne Truchsess), hangs anyway.I met the same problem year ago and as I see there is no library guaranteeing 100% stable work.I don't mean 100% clear data via I2C, I mean not hanging code even when there is error in I2C transmission.

Yeah I have been slowly losing interest in the current plot in this manga. The end of the war disappointed me and this arc seems kind of pointless as well. Of course this is all my opinion.
Now that Ace is dead I personally don't care about how he and Luffy met and now that I have seen it I don't really like Ace's character as much. I find that when you do flashbacks while the person is still alive it has a bigger emotional impact when they die.

Even if the people in them don't.
For most of the past three years, Antwerp-based photographer Nick Hannes has been travelling across the Mediterranean coastline photographing the locals, the immigrants, the tourists and the escalating urbanisation that have been interfering with its landscape, for a project he's called Mediterranee. I only heard about him a month or two ago, however, when this photo (below) taken at a wedding held at a Greek gas station went viral on the internet.
I don't know if it was the image of the lady smoking next to the gas pumps, or just the world's inclination to make fun of the Greeks these days that made it so popular. But, in my eyes, it was a beautifull picture. So, I had a look at his website to find that the rest of Mediterranee is equally impressive and convinced myself that I had to call him up for a chat.
VICE: Hey Nick. What was it that made you want to study the Mediterranean coastline so extensively?
Nick Hannes: Well, one reason was that in my previous project I focused on the area that previously made up the Soviet Union. I don't like to jump from one continent to another one and I was fascinated by the region already, having read about its ancient history. Another reason is I was looking for a long-term project. There's about 20 countries that border the Mediterranean sea, I've been working on this since 2010, and I think I have at least one more year ahead of me.
How do you go about it? Do you only visit each country once or is it a case of going back and forth?
No, I try to do every country only once because it would be too much otherwise. There are still some countries I haven't visited, like Lybia, Algeria, Italy and France. I'm not so sure I'll end up going to Syria, so I might have to do it with some archive photos from past travels. I can only travel in summertime too, which is why it takes me so much longer to get around.
I was about to ask why your pictures seem to have only been taken in the summer.
I teach Documentary Photography at the Academy of Arts in Gent, Belgium, and that keeps me at home during the school year. But not all the pictures are taken in summer. I can always escape during the school holidays, mid-year, for a while so I travel then, too.
What I like most about this project is it covers so many themes and issues, it's hard to find one thing that binds them together visually. Except maybe for the landscape.
For one, I try to avoid stereotypes. I mean, I might play with them sometimes but I try to turn them around. My aim is to make photographs that are not readable in just one second. Of course, there are certain topics that interest me, like migration and the natural landscape coming into conflict with urbanisation, but the project is more about a certain human condition. What are we, as human beings, doing with our public space – how are we organising our society?
What have you learned so far, then?
Well, most of the coastline is completely urbanised.
I imagine that is become of tourism, right?
That's one thing, but also because of geography and well, logic. There's been a lot of activity along the shore since ancient times, because of the ports that allow for cultures to mix and commerce to grow. Tourism is a far more recent phenomenon. In Spain or Albania, the coast is basically a building site. Greece is OK; I didn't see the same signs of urbanisation that I saw anywhere else.
Do you think that has something to do with the economic crisis?
No, that's too recent. I think it's more to do with having the brains not to spoil the landscape. Some countries only care about making money.
What about in terms of behaviour, were there any similarities among the cultures?
The only major similarity I noticed is that people who live along the coast are a lot more religious. I don't know if that's anything to do with the sea. Family values are a lot more important to people there as well. But, I don't think that there is just one Mediterranean identity; it's an extremely diverse area.
As for the landscape, which you mentioned before, that is in fact similar. I also made a conscious effort not to photograph any famous landmarks. I don't want people to look at the photos and see that it's Spain or whatever, instantly.
The Mediterranean has always been a place of conflict. Do you think there's any particular reason for that?
I don't know if there is more unrest there than in other places in the world. I don't think so. But also I have a fascination with conflict and places that have been centres of civil or sovereign dispute. And that was the case in a lot of the places I visited. You could feel it when you walked around; Cyprus is a great example of that.
See, that's what I'm talking about. You have all those photos of people crossing borders carrying sacks that are twice their size, and then there is that photograph of a topless glamour model in a giant champagne glass, in a club. What's going on there?
Oh, that one was taken in Pacha, in Ibiza. Those two are showgirls – they put those shows on in clubs in Ibiza, but people have to stand behind a certain point and that's why you see all those hands coming out of the curtain on the left. I had to use a flash though, and it ruined the atmosphere. When you use a flash in a nightclub it highlights details that aren't meant to be seen.
I almost think it makes it better. It's so sad and funny at the same time. Another thing I noticed is that on most of the pictures taken at holiday resorts on your website, the subjects are old.
It's true there aren't many photographs of sexy girls in bikinis but that wasn't intentional. It's just because in my experience, young people are much more aware of photographers. When you take their picture they begin to pose. I did photograph a lot of young people and to be honest I'd rather take a photo of a sexy girl than an old lady, but when you're making a selection of your best images... those of old people are usually the best because they just don't give a damn.
Finally, would you like to tell me how your famous picture of that Greek gas station wedding came to be?
That was a present sent from above. As a photographer, you always hope that these things happen but they rarely do. I was in Rio in Patras, when I happened upon this very-well maintained gas station and got to talking with its owner. He said they'd be celebrating his daughter's wedding there that night and I kind of invited myself.
When the couple arrived that evening, there was a DJ playing from an office inside the station and everybody was dancing, drinking and smoking around the pumps. Everybody was very welcoming, they kept offering me drinks and I stayed until three in the morning.
This particular picture is successful to me because it talks about the economic crisis, but in a unique way. And you can not make it on demand. When I got back that night I knew that it would be circulated.

I have diabetic periphetal neuropathy & once or twice a month I experience a puslsating, stabbing pain at the same point on the top of my foot.
Asked By: babyd2012
Category: Neuropathy
Background Info ShowHide
I have diabetic periphetal neuropathy & once or twice a month I experience a puslsating, stabbing pain at the same point on the top of my foot in about the outside middle of either foot. When it does occur the frequency of the pulse is about every 15 seconds. Since it is an infrequent occurence there seems to be no need for continuous pain management medications. Is there anything that can be done at the time to treat this pain because it is impossible to sleep when it occurs at night & very disruptive during the day?

Since you don't seem to need medication all the time, your health care team may want to prescribe medication on a prn or as needed basis. There are several medications that can be used in this way and many have a drowsiness component which helps for sleep. I have seen all types of categories used such as codeine products and other types of pain medication. Those used for neuropathy are generally used on a daily basis and may have side effects such as drowsiness. There are also some topical products that may give you some relief such as Neuragen(R) which is a natural over the counter product. You can work with your health care team to see what works best for you!!

I get a similar stabbing pain occasionally in my toe. I have found that self-massage and stretching helps. If you can learn to do self-reflexology on your own foot, that might help. Having a session with a reflexologist/massage therapist would be enough to let you know what to do. Just let them know that you have diabetes, so that they will not do the really deep tissue work.

I had the same problem for over a year. I needed to take a part-time job where I was on my feet 8 - 10 hours a day couple days a week. I was prescribed a medication (sorry don't remember) It really helped! Several months ago I quit the job and while I still have some numbness those sharp pains in the top of my foot are gone and I no longer need the medication. Just something to think about.

I have experienced this exact type of pain. I tried pain pills and pain relief creams, both prescription and OTC with no results. So I bought a "TENS Unit" available on the internet for less than $50.00. It stopped the pain in about 2 minutes once I got it adjusted. I could still feel the pain beginning but the tens unit would over ride it, then eliminate it. It was wonderful! Was non invasive and drug free. And i can use it as long as needed, even take it to work with it connected. It is battery powered. I ran the wires up the inside of my pants and clipped the unit on my belt. I could function again. With out it, I would need time off from work as my pain was so intense, I could not concentrate. Give it a try!

Accounting for the Values of Ecosystems can Play Key Role in Efforts to Achieve International Biodiversity Targets
Hyderabad (India), 11 October 2012 - Assessing and taking into account the economic, social and cultural value of ecosystems and biodiversity can play a key role in efforts to achieve international biodiversity targets, according to a new series of guides published by The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity (TEEB) today.
The publications were launched during the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Hyderabad, India.
The TEEB guides, developed by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research - UFZ on behalf of the German Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN), focus specifically on three of the co-called 'Aichi Targets'; a set of 20 biodiversity goals agreed by governments under the CBD in 2010.
They are: the integration of biodiversity values into strategies for development and poverty reduction, planning processes and national accounting (Aichi Target 2), reforming subsidies harmful to biodiversity and promotion of incentives for conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity (Aichi Target 3), increasing the amount and effectively managing land, inland waters and ocean covered by protected areas (Aichi Target 11).
The guides provide practical support for national governments, regional policy-makers, and other groups in making use of the findings of TEEB to support efforts to achieve the Aichi targets by 2020.
TEEB, which is hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), has been gaining international recognition since the launch of the initiative's first major report in 2009. The study was among the first to outline in detail the high economic value of ecosystems including forests, freshwater, soils and coral reefs - as well as the social and economic costs of their loss.
Since then, India, Brazil and Georgia as well as several European countries have initiated, or expressed interest in conducting national TEEB studies to support decision making on the environment. China also recently voiced support for a national study on the economic importance of ecosystem services.
"Understanding the values of ecosystems to economies and communities can support countries in spearheading the actions and policies needed to meet biodiversity targets, and to enable the transition to an inclusive green economy," said United Nations Under-Secretary-General and UNEP Executive Director Achim Steiner.
"Importantly, the new TEEB guides highlight that valuation is not an end in itself, but that it allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the world's natural assets, and ensures they are afforded due consideration by policy-makers and integrated into decision-making on all levels", added Mr. Steiner.
The new guides summarize key findings and recommendations from major TEEB studies relating to the Aichi targets, as well as case studies, lessons learned and links to other studies and relevant publications.
"We were amazed how many useful tools and information is already out there on the economic aspects of biodiversity conservation, within the TEEB reports and beyond," said Julian Rode from the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research and co-author of the guides
"The Implementation Guides offer a "menu" of tools and advice for three of the Aichi targets - now it is up to policy makers to choose what is best suited for their national context," he added.
Biodiversity and National Planning
In line with Aichi Target 2 , the guide encourages recognizing the multiple values of biodiversity for human well-being and their incorporation into decision-making at all levels.
The dependence on poor households on ecosystem services in particular needs to be more fully integrated into policy, says the TEEB guide. Non-marketed natural goods can account up to 89 per cent of the so-called 'GDP of the Poor' in some countries.
The guide recommends the following actions and milestones towards achieving Aichi Biodiversity Target 2:
Subsidies and Incentives
Subsidies are used across the world as a tool for economic development. However, certain subsidies can be harmful to the environment and cause significant economic burdens.
Fishery subsidies, it is often argued, can serve to provide incentives for over-fishing. Around US$ 50 billion in annual revenue is lost due to unsustainable fishing practices, mostly due to over-fishing.
As a first step towards achieving Aichi Target 3 , says the TEEB guide, governments should aim for full disclosure of subsidies, measuring and reporting them annually in order that harmful components may be recognize, tracked and eventually phased out.
Payment for ecosystem services, access and benefit sharing, green public procurement and certification and labeling schemes are among the incentive measures explored in the TEEB guide, along with numerous case studies, including schemes from Sri Lanka, India, Ghana and Denmark.
The guide recommends the following actions towards achieving Aichi Biodiversity Target 3:
Biodiversity and Protected Areas
In line with Aichi Target 11 , TEEB illustrates that local protected areas are an important resource for policy-makers and benefit local communities if managed effectively.
It is often not recognized that protected areas also offer "value for money", says TEEB, and can play a key role in maintaining ecosystem services. Ecosystem valuation, in turn, can help to justify protected areas policy, identify funding an investment opportunities, and inform conservation priorities.
The TEEB guide cites a case study from Namibia, where conservancies and other tourism sites on communal land cover 14 per cent of national territory. The national benefit from tourism (over US$ 335 million) is over eight times higher than the management costs.
Currently, some 13 per cent of terrestrial areas and around 6 per cent of coastal areas are protected, while very little of the open oceans are protected. Some countries have already surpassed the coverage targets contained in Aichi Target 11, and are now focusing on improving the management and effectives of protected areas.
Recommended actions in the TEEB guide towards achieving all aspects of Aichi Target 11 include:

Aichi Biodiversity Target 2: By 2020, at the latest, biodiversity values have been integrated into national and local development and poverty reduction strategies and planning processes and are being incorporated into national accounting, as appropriate, and reporting systems.
Aichi Biodiversity Target 3: By 2020 at the latest, incentives, including subsidies, harmful to biodiversity are eliminated, phased out or reformed in order to minimize or avoid negative impacts, and positive incentives for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity are developed and applied, consistent and in harmony with the Convention and other relevant international obligations, taking into account national socio-economic conditions.
Aichi Biodiversity Target 11: By 2020, at least 17 % of terrestrial and inland water, and 10 % of coastal and marine areas, especially areas of particular importance for biodiversity and ecosystem services, are conserved through effectively and equitably managed, ecologically representative and well-connected systems of protected areas and other effective are-based conservation measures, and integrated into the wider landscapes and seascapes.

I wonder if the death god seal will make another appearance in this manga? Only Oro knew how to dispel it but I feel like it would be a great way to seal off Madara, if you can catch him, or have enough power to seal him
..This aga...wait...this is actually revolutionary!
Fairly good chapter
Another average chapter
Didn't really like it
Oh for the love of...ugh!!!
I wonder if the death god seal will make another appearance in this manga? Only Oro knew how to dispel it but I feel like it would be a great way to seal off Madara, if you can catch him, or have enough power to seal him
A pie in the sky?
I could see it being a last resort, If only to let Madara destroy it to prove his godhood. It'd be like when Piccolo killed Shenron. Similarly, the pot/gourd could not successfully hold Madara, nor could Kamui. He can only be defeated by removing his power.
That would indeed be a god move, I was surprised to see Oro knew a way to overturn a god-decision and release everyone in the stomach but it would definitely be impressive if Madara could just will himself out, Hashirama should just use it and continue their fight for all eternity. But on the pot/gourd I think it could be used to capture some of the bijuu or at least one, I wonder if they could use it on the giant juubi plant thing. I would say use it on Obito but I think his minutes are numbered
A pie in the sky?
Knowing what we know to date, It is not clear that there are Gods in the Naruto verse. The only obvious mysteries that hint of God or gods, are the fact that there is an afterlife from which dead souls are summoned, and the Juubi itself being a primal creature. Yet even these two mysteries do not necessarily necessitate the existence of God or gods.
Souls could be a form of energy that exist on a different, yet natural plane, with its own "physical laws" similar to ours, and the Juubi could just be a coalescence of primal energy from the big bang or something like that. There doesn't seem to be a higher moral intelligence, and the Juubi is just barely sentient as far as we know. A being like Madara even if he were to be demonstrably evil, has/had no separate judgement reserved for him no matter how many innocent lives he's destroyed, good is not reserved a special place different from evil, as far as I can see.
This is not to say that Kishi can't or won't introduce some moral agent or consequence as he progresses, he just hasn't chosen to reveal one yet.
I see no significance to the dead demon seal, or to the SO6P's pot etc. These are just dimensional artefacts, and sealing techniques, and the Juubi is just an extremely powerful but pathetic creature.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
I can't remember if you needed to make a contract in order to use the death god seal? Does anyone remember? I also think its probably just an ultimately class seal that cannot be broke but can be unlocked in only 1 way, kind of like the 8 direction seal on the kyuubi, but if there is a contract then there has to be a death god or something like it somewhere that needs to be physically conjured right? idk Im just thinkin out loud lol

Skip to comments.Apocalypse soon
Posted on 10/07/2008 8:41:53 PM PDT by Alex Murphy
The pages of failed end-of-the-world prophecies could make up a whole new testament. Now there's the Rev. David Jeremiah, an East County mega-pastor and TV evangelist who says the end is coming, in the words of a familiar church song, soon and very soon.
In a new book that hit bookstores this week, Jeremiah offers 10 prophetic clues he says point to an imminent conclusion many Christians have clung to for 2,000 years the Rapture (when the faithful will be summoned instantly into Heaven), followed by the Tribulation (a seven-year period of turmoil), Armageddon (the final battle of good versus evil) and the Second Coming of Jesus (to reign on Earth).
Jeremiah doesn't set a date in What in the World Is Going On? (Thomas Nelson; $22.99). But his urgency is clear: His return is close at hand, he writes, adding that Christians should be motivated as never before to live in readiness.
I have no intention of setting any dates or saying this is when this is going to happen, Jeremiah says, settling back on a couch in his office at Turning Point, his international television and radio ministry headquartered in Lakeside.
All I'm saying is some of the things that the word of God prophesied would take place as we near this time are happening in ways you cannot contradict.
The 67-year-old senior pastor of Shadow Mountain Community Church in El Cajon, where he preaches to 7,000 people at weekend services, says he was motivated to write this book after so many people kept questioning him about world events.
He reached out to other biblical prophecy scholars for their thoughts. Among them was Tim LaHaye, co-author of the best-selling Left Behind series of Christian apocalyptic novels. In 1981, Jeremiah followed LaHaye as senior pastor of Scott Memorial Baptist Church, which later became Shadow Mountain.
The 10 signs Jeremiah settled on range from the emergence of Israel as the dominant country-of-residence for Jews and the rise in power of Russia and Iran to the world's reliance on Middle Eastern oil and the coming together of countries under the European Union.
I'm not a sensationalist, says Jeremiah, a grandfather and two-time cancer survivor who is a well-known speaker at evangelical venues like the Billy Graham Training Center.
I would be the last person in the world to try to draw sensationalist truths from the Scripture, he adds. You can get a crowd if you know how to frame your stuff, but I'm past all that. I don't need to do that. But what I do know is this: This is a different day unlike anything that I've ever known, unlike anything the world has ever known. So what does that mean?
What it means for him is that conversion efforts need to be jump-started like a battery in a long-idled sedan.
We've forgotten that there's an urgency about what we've been called to do, he says. He leans forward on the couch, as if to emphasize his impatience. I think it puts an urgency and a seriousness into our walk. Jeremiah is particularly tough on Islam in his book. Islamic terrorism is among the signs he says are pointing toward the end times.
One of the most baffling and unsettling puzzles about Islam is the constant contention on the part of some Muslim leaders that they are a peace-loving people, he writes. Yet even as they make the claim, Islamic terrorists continue to brutally murder any person or group with whom they find fault.
Jeremiah does not believe Allah and God are the same. He also believes that Islam hates Jews and Christians.
Experts say that 15 to 20 percent of Muslims are radical enough to strap a bomb on their bodies in order to kills Christians and Jews, he writes. If this number is accurate, it means about 300 million Muslims are willing to die in order to take you and me down.
His solution: convert Muslims to Christianity.
Jeremiah says he is not trying to be incendiary; he's just being true to his convictions. I'm not intolerant, he insists. I just believe totally what I believe, and if I have to go along in order to get along, water down what I believe, I'll never do that.
But Khaleel Mohammed, associate professor of religious studies at San Diego State University and a voice for moderate Islam, says Jeremiah isn't helping matters.
It's not constructive in any way for the Christian or the Muslim, Mohammed says. Everything he is saying is so divisive.
Mohammed also thinks Jeremiah's portrait is one-sided; after all, thousands of Muslim civilians have died in the American-led invasion of Iraq.
I'm not denying there are Christians and Muslims agitating against each other, but I don't think it's religious, Mohammed says. Still, he adds, the future lies in interfaith cooperation, a move the old guard on both sides is resisting. They are just fighting against the tide. ... Among Muslims, you'll find preachers who are as nonsensical as Jeremiah.
Scholars who study end-times prophecies say Jeremiah's book, and others like it, should be handled with care.
I would say the odds are enormous, if not overwhelming, that he, like every other Christian prophet over the last 2,000 years, will be wrong, says Richard Landes, associate professor of history at Boston University and director of the Center for Millennial Studies.
Jews and Muslims also have their doomsday beliefs, Landes says, but apocalypticism has been particularly rampant in Christianity. It was, after all, Jesus himself who forewarned his followers in the New Testament to keep watch and be ready for his return.
Ever since, Christians have watched for signs of the Second Coming, scanning the Bible for clues and codes, says Jon Stone, a religious studies professor at Cal State Long Beach.
Stone acknowledges there is a built-in audience for books like Jeremiah's. I think people like to be in on a secret, to know something other people don't know, he explains. This is, by far, the biggest secret in terms of religious things.
Jeremiah is planning a series of sermons at Shadow Mountain this fall on living with confidence in a chaotic world. He plans to tell the congregation, among other things, that this is the time for the faithful to hang together, to focus on the church and the Bible.
Jeremiah says biblical prophecy isn't a popular pulpit topic. A lot of buddies of mine say they don't ever preach on prophecy because they think it's irrelevant. ... Well, if they read the Bible, they will find out that if you study prophecy, it gives you incredible insight as to how you should live your life today.
He resists efforts to be coaxed into being more specific about when all this is going to happen. It's not about that, he repeats. It is about the awareness of what the events that are happening in the world today mean and how we can look at it through the third lens of the Bible and make more sense of it than we would otherwise.
Taking away by whom or unto whom? Christ did not promise anybody He was going to take anybody away.
What is the tribulation? IF as Christ said I have foretold you all things would that not include how to NOT be taken in by or taken over by a tribulation. And IF as Christians we are followers of Christ and He set the standard and was completely and totally innocent yet gave His life for to all who would life eternal, would His followers be hunting for the 'safe' escapes. Didn't Christ say I give you power over your enemies?
Christ also said that *time* meaning the length of time allotted for the tribulation would be cut short. So as this time is reference to a woman in labor once that final stages begins only an intervention with medication slows it or stops it. Things will move very quickly once that time begins.
The mark already exists, it is what is in the mind that leads the peoples to received that mark. Christ called it deception.
Are you talking about The Twelve? Where does the Bible teach this? I cant seem to find anywhere where any of the apostles tribal affiliation is mentioned (except Paul). Since at least some of the apostles were from the region around Galilee ("of the Gentiles", cf. Mark 1:16), it unlikely there were all from Judah.
Its pretty clear just from reading the NT (and the OT as well) that the word "Israel" often means more than just the northern tribes. You apparently dont have a position on that truth. The entire nation was often referred to as "the house of Israel" (Ex. 16:31). This was the common usage at the time of Christ. When speaking to the woman of Canaan, Jesus told her, But He answered and said, "I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." (Matt. 15:24). Jesus was ministering first to His Jewish brethren ("the house of Israel"), from which He called the Twelve and others, and not primarily to the surrounding gentile communities.
As much as I would like to engage you on this matter, serious discussion is difficult with this sort of defective starting point on your part.
I should have written House of Judah meaning NOT of the House of Israel.

Jesus was ministering first to His Jewish brethren ("the house of Israel"), from which He called the Twelve and others, and not primarily to the surrounding gentile communities.
The word Israel was first used when Jacob was renamed. Christ's usage of the 'lost sheep' of the House of Israel refers to a specific time after the civil war the two houses split and were identified as two different kingdoms. House of Israel and the House of Judah. One of the punishments for the whoring after other gods by the House of Israel would be they would forget who they were. And they are also called Ephraim as he was the largest of the ten tribes sent north to the Assyrian king. They have NOT returned and will not return until Christ Himself rejoins those two sticks. And the majority of them still do not know who they are, they are stilllllll lost. Christ identified who he was talking about when he used the term 'lost sheep'.
This is not about my point or having a point, it is to understand why the first instruction Christ would give to His disciples would be to go but to those lost sheep of the House of Israel.
When Christ gave this instruction these people He chose to be His disciples did not say Master where do we find these lost sheep of the House of Israel? So how did they know what and who Christ was talking about??? And why would Christ waste the time and words over a very short 3 1/2 year time frame of teaching, to make it the first instruction????
I can't take seriously people who downplay even the very WORDS that came from the mouth of Christ.
As much as I would like to engage you on this matter, serious discussion is difficult with this sort of defective starting point on your part.
They're planting, for now, microchips into animals and some people are having them done for information about their health conditions. What's to stop them from planting them in people without their permission some day? We have to be aware...
Perhaps egotism isn't the right word. I guess temporocentrism is more accurate. It just seems anyone interested in this topic always sees the end approaching rapidly.
It's like reincarnation buffs. They always seem to say they'd been born previously as Joan of Arc or Napolean. Never a postal clerk. I think seeing the end as near is simply more interesting.
Yes I do know microchips are being implanted in animals and humans. But the device does not make the mind think one way or another. Lets look at what is a great deception getting planted around this globe say the 'green' movement. Now this movement has become a religious wave and the object of worship is NOT the Creator but His creation and the ideology is claimed by these prophets of green they can control climate changes.
Their religion is promoted through the assistance of the four established institutions of society. Political, education, economic and last and certainly not least religious. How long do you think it will take to have the majority of this earth willing to join the 'green' club? Whatever reason, be it a political, educational, economic or religious motive allll entities lead to the same end a Godless society by the establishment of that system whispered into the woman's ear in the beginning, "For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
The movement has permeated our whole society and to speak against it gets one 'marked' as to be against a good and noble cause of perfecting our climate while protecting our environment over greed and exploitation of the earth and its creatures. The movement is against US our standard of living and what we stand for and not about a prevention of climate change or environmental protection.
No I am not claiming the green movement is the mark, what I am doing is using it, the movement as an analogy as to what kind of club/system is being described wherein to participate, either out of fear or lack of God's knowledge people willingly participate.
Somewhere in this thread someone spoke of taking the mark to feed a family, which reminded me of what God had Amos His prophet to pen. Amos 8 the whole chapter but specifically verse 11.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
There is no 'last' trumpet in 1 Cor. 15...It is the 'last trump' of a trumpet...The noise a trumpet makes is obviously a 'trump'...
It's no wonder you got things all messed up...You claim trump means trumpet...Obviously not...Doesn't make much sense in English, or Greek...'The last trumpet of the trumpet'???
Hey, if you try to discern what it actually says instead of what you'd like it to say, you'd get a far better understanding...When you claim it says the 'last trumpet of the trumpet', you're not giving the Holy Spirit much to work with...
All orthodox Christians agree that at Christs return, all the saints are resurrected and receive their glorified bodies.
I suspect such are in short supply here.
I take it you didn't actually look at the Greek, and are just relying on the archaic language of the KJV to invent a doctrine.
If you are happy doing theology this way, then go for it. Theres nothing else I can say if you wont listen to reasonable arguments from Scripture.
Doesnt matter. The idea that all the disciples where from Judah is still not in the Bible. I'm not sure what driving this extra-biblical hobby horse of yours.
And whose version of the Greek are you referring to???
The King James translators looked at all the Greek that is available...You got something new???
There is no physical place called Armageddon. The correct meaning of the word is the sorrow of King Josiah.
It doesn't matter. There is no significant textual variance in the verses in question.
The King James translators looked at all the Greek that is available...You got something new???
KJV English was well suited for how the language was spoken 400 years ago. We do not speak that brand of English for the most part. The authors would be horrified to find out the erroneous interpretations that have suggested in modern days based on faulty understanding of KJV English.
That is why reliable modern translations, Like the New KJV, have modernized (corrected) these types of words and phrases. But apparently you wish to cling to unsupportable theories. Have fun.
Perhaps you should employ one yourself. The literal translation is Mount of Meggido. There is no such place. However, Meggido is where King Josiah was killed. The Mount part represents the nationwide sorrow that erupted after the passing of Israel's most righteous king.

I don't know if you are trying to fool yourself or someone else...
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
You see any archaic words in there??? NO??? Your arguement just left, without you...
BTW, the NKJB says exactly the same thing...
Its too bad that historical revisionism gets used as a club against fellow Christians.
For 2000 years most Jewish converts to Jesus Christ have had no problem identifying themselves as Christians and members of His Church. That is until a small sub-group of believers, some being ethnic/cultural Jews, decided that a new name was needed for their sub-group. The invented the belief system of Messiah Judaism and started calling them selves Messianic Jews (even though most the adherents to this new fangled sect are not ethnic or cultural Jews). They gave the impression that somehow they (and they alone) were getting back to authentic, first century Christianity (oops, I meant) Messianic Judaism. They utilized many techniques to give this impression, such as the prominent use of those annoying transliterations of names from one language to another. (Question, do Chinese-speaking Messiah Jews transliterate Yah'shua and "Sha-ul" into Mandarin?)
And so, some of them apparently like to castigate anyone who questions the theological presuppositions and foundations of their innovations by labeling them prideful, anti-Semitic, and other similar unfaltering names, perhaps not realizing how prideful they themselves can appear by such tactics.
And so, rather than build up the one new man that Paul speaks of in Ephesians 2, the commonwealth made up of Jews and gentiles together without regard to past religious distinctions, we have this group of self-described Messianic Jews (mainly gentiles) who are attempting to rebuild the religious wall that Paul says has been torn down. Some of them act as if those Christians down through the ages (whether Jews or gentile) who have wished to be identified as the true sons of Abraham, the spiritual Israel of the Bible, are somehow encroaching upon their sacred territory. They have invented concepts like "gentile Christianity" to berate faithful followers of Our Lord down though the centuries.
They seem to forget the words of Paul, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (Gal. 3:28,29)
I'm guessing you didn't read the linked document.
Nobody except The Donald and Bridge players use the word "trump" anymore.
The Greek of that passage literally says, "... in the last trumpet (noun) he shall be trumpeting (verb) ..." which has been rendered in various ways by various translators. It could just as easily be translated, "... at the last trumpet which shall be trumpeting ..." Its a matter of emphasis. The sound will be unmistakable and unavoidable. It is the last sound anyone will hear before being ushered in the presence of a Holy God for judgment day.
Resolved: the dispensational exegesis of any given passage is best ignored unless an amil/postmil/historic premil scholar can be found who agrees with it.
By you maybe...But that's not what the verse says...
But more accurately, it would be (if someone was so inclined to change it like you do) 'the last trumpeting of the trumpet'...It speaks of the last noise a trumpet makes, NOT the last trumpet...
If you can't expound on what the verse actually says, you are devoid of the meaning of the verse...
I was under the impression that children under a certain age would be raptured and then grow to maturity during the millennium. They would have a chance to accept Christ or reject him like everyone else.
"I was under the impression that children under a certain age would be raptured and then grow to maturity during the millennium."
Where is there anything in Scripture to support a Rapture? Only in the minds of those who would like to think they will be taken out. Noah was taken through, not out. Same for us. Those taken out were taken to judgement. Same is true for those "taken out" in Matthew to support the "Left Behind" series of LeHay & Jenkins.
Well, I'm no expert. I'm sure that babies born before the rapture would go up. I can't say about the ones born afterwards. I really don't know.
That's exactly what the Greek says. The adjective "last" is used to modify the noun "trumpet", not the verb.
Check out the Greek and see for yourself.
Whether you call it a trumpet or a trump, makes no difference as long as you know what's being discussed...
We're talking about the 'last' of the sounds being trumpeted...
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
The trump, the 'sound' will be the last sound heard...
The trumpet in this verse is a verb which combined with the others in the group are as follows...
From G4536; to trumpet, that is, sound a blast (literally or figuratively): - (which are yet to) sound (a trumpet).
So to summarize, in the GREEK, you get this:
1Co 15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
This has nothing to with your idea of the 'last trumpet will sound'...
Trumpet in the New Testament has little to do with the Hebrew translated trumpet of the Old Testament...There commonality is of producing a loud sound...None of the Angels in Revelation are blowing tuba's or French horns...
In Revelation the emphasis is on the Angels and their number and then the sound they are making...
Rev 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.
Rev 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.
There's the seventh 'trumpet'...And for those of you who somehow reject the Millenial reign of Jesus Christ, you can see the kindgoms of THIS world become the kingdoms of our Lord...Jesus will reign on earth for a thousand years...
What is being discussed is the last trumpet being sounded at Christs return for the physical resurrection and general judgment of all men.
Certain futurists have devised a scheme where they need to invent several last trumpets in order to fit their theory. The language of 1 Cor. 15 does not support the notion.
We're talking about the 'last' of the sounds being trumpeted...
That may be what you are talking about, but the Greek of 1 Cor. 15 is not talking about any such thing. As I made clear before, you have failed miserably to properly analyze the Greek in the verse, because you are starting with your faulty understanding of KJV language.

Marnie looks great as always. Of COURSE Rita Whora is there. I am beginning to think she has a clone. How can one person be so many places around the world at so many times.

I have the same question. With little to no career how does Rita Whora make it to so many events?ReplyCancel
Karolina's Marchesa is fantastic! Really good representation of the theme.
Nicole looks awful to me as a rule these days – hate the purple hair with her skin color and that Donna Karan is doing nothing for her.
Rita Ora is a big fail – between the lace up shoes and the lace up her arms, it's awful.
Emmy also looks great in that Herrara – very springy, very on point for the theme
Allison Williams looks pretty but not spectatularReplyCancel
I love Emmy Rossum's gown. It's well tailored and is very springy. The yellow doesn't overwhelm like Katie Holmes gown did. Emmy's hair is also styled to suit the dress.
I really don't like that Kucova gown. It's too much in every sense of the words. You have to be tall and very slender to wear it. Sitting in it would be another thing.
Anna Kendrick is so boring.
The bodice on Pare's gown does nothing but flatten her boobs.
Rita Whora looks just like her nick name. The entire outfit looks like wedding night lingerie to me.ReplyCancel
