Carpal tunnel release is a surgery used to treat and potentially heal the painful condition known as carpal tunnel syndrome. Doctors used to think that carpal tunnel syndrome was caused by an overuse injury or a repetitive motion performed by the wrist or hand, often at work. They now know that it's most likely a congenital predisposition (something that runs in families) – some people simply have smaller carpal tunnels than others. Carpal tunnel syndrome can also be caused by injury, such as a sprain or fracture, or repetitive use of a vibrating tool. It's also been linked to pregnancy, diabetes, thyroid disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.
The median nerve and tendons that allow your fingers to move pass through a narrow passageway in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. The carpal tunnel is formed by the wrist bones on the bottom and the transverse carpal ligament across the top (or inside) of the wrist. When this part of the body is injured or tight, swelling of the tissues within the tunnel can press on the median nerve. This causes numbness and tingling of the hand, pain, and loss of function if not treated. Symptoms usually start slowly, and may get worse over time. They tend to be worse on the thumb side of the hand.
During a carpal tunnel release, a surgeon cuts through the ligament that is pressing down on the carpal tunnel. This makes more room for the median nerve and tendons passing through the tunnel, and usually improves pain and function.
A diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome is about the only reason to have a carpal tunnel surgery. And even then, your doctor will likely want you to try nonsurgical treatments first. These may include over-the-counter pain medicines, physical therapy, changes to the equipment you use at work, wrist splints, or shots of steroids in the wrist to help relieve swelling and pain.
The reasons that a doctor would recommend a carpal tunnel release surgery may include:
As with most surgeries, carpal tunnel release is not without its risks. Your wrist will be made numb and you may be given medicine to make you sleepy and not feel pain (called local anesthesia) for the procedure. In some cases general anesthesia is used, this when drugs are used to put you into a deep sleep during surgery. Anesthesia poses risks for some people. Other potential risks of a carpal tunnel release surgery include:
The recovery from carpal tunnel surgery takes time – anywhere from several weeks to several months. If the nerve has been compressed for a long period of time, recovery may take even longer. Recovery involves splinting your wrist and getting physical therapy to strengthen and heal the wrist and hand.
There may be other risks, depending on your specific medical condition. Be sure to discuss any concerns with your doctor before the procedure.
Based on your medical condition, your doctor may request other specific preparations.
Carpal tunnel release is usually an outpatient procedure, which means that you can go home the same day as the surgery if all goes well. There are 2 types of carpal tunnel release surgery. The traditional method is the open release, in which the surgeon cuts open the wrist to do the surgery.
The other method is endoscopic carpal tunnel release, in which a thin, flexible tube that contains a camera is put into the wrist through a tiny incision (cut). The camera guides the doctor as the surgery is done with thin tools put into the wrist through another small cut.
In either case, here is the general sequence of events in a carpal tunnel release surgery:
Once the surgery is done, you'll be monitored for a short time, and then allowed to go home. Only in rare cases or complications is an overnight stay needed for a carpal tunnel release surgery.
Your wrist will likely be in a heavy bandage or a splint for 1 to 2 weeks. Doctors usually schedule another appointment to remove the bandage or splint. During this time, you may be encouraged to move your fingers to help prevent stiffness.
You'll probably have pain in your hand and wrist after surgery. It's usually controlled with pain medicines taken by mouth. The surgeon may also have you keep the affected hand elevated while sleeping at night to help decrease swelling.
Once the splint is removed, you will likely begin a physical therapy program. The physical therapist will teach you motion exercises to improve the movement of your wrist and hand. These exercises will speed healing and strengthen the area. You may still need to sometimes use a splint or brace for a month or so after surgery.
The recovery period can take anywhere from a few days to a few months. In the meantime, you may need to adjust job duties or even take time off from work while you heal. Your doctor will talk to you about activity restrictions you should follow after surgery.
Let your doctor know about any of the following:
These problems may need to be treated. Talk to your doctor about what you should expect and what problems mean you need to see your doctor right away.
Before you agree to the test or the procedure make sure you know:

Newly released video shows beating inside retirement home
WILLISTON, Fla. (WGFL) —
Newly released video from inside an embattled Williston retirement home shows a younger resident mercilessly beating an 86-year-old man during an argument over a cupcake.
The security video was recorded inside the Good Samaritan Retirement home in October. Williston Police recently released it to CNN. The retirement home was recently put on moratorium after two of its employees were arrested and charged with elderly neglect in two separate cases.
In the video, a 52-year-old resident can be seen punching an 86-year-old man more than 50 times. CNN reports police say the younger man accused the older man of eating his cupcake.
Police say the victim had to be hospitalized. Police say the younger man, who had previously suffered a traumatic brain injury, was not charged with a crime because of his "limited capacity," CNN reports.
They say he was removed from the facility temporarily but was later allowed to return with one-on-one supervision.

When 2-year-old Eevee came down with the croup, her mom didn't take her to the family doctor for steroids.
Instead, her mom waited until she was asleep, sneaked into her room and briefly stuck tiny needles into specific points on Eevee's neck.
When Eevee woke up the next morning, the barking cough and all symptoms of the respiratory illness were gone, says her mom, Monica Edlauer.
Edlauer runs Boulder Family Acupuncture, a clinic that provides acupuncture and herbal medicine for the whole family -- including children. In fact, Edlauer's specialty is prenatal and pediatric acupuncture.
When Eevee, now age 4, visits the clinic, she runs into her mom's office and sings, "Mommy, put needles in me!"
Edlauer says boys especially love the laser, which she uses to stimulate points for children older than 7 who aren't quite so excited about needles.
The most recent data by the National Health Interview Survey found that 150,000 children across the country have used acupuncture to treat a variety of conditions -- most commonly, a cold, stomach aches, headaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, eczema, sleep problems -- even teething and bed-wetting.
A recent study published by the American Academy of Pediatrics determined that acupuncture is generally safe when performed by a trained professional -- yielding fewer adverse effects than conventional pain treatments, in fact.
Although there are no statistics on how many local children have been treated with acupuncture, it's nothing rare. You can find acupuncture for kids at Boulder Community Hospital or at Lafayette's community clinic, Left Hand Community Acupuncture. The Longmont nonprofit Acupuncture for Veterans and Their Families offers free acupuncture for children of service men and women 5:30-7 p.m. Thursdays at the American Legion.
Boulder Family Acupuncture offers children's wellness clinics during the full moon every month. The next is 3-7 p.m. Monday, March 25. The idea: Take your kids every month to rebalance and restore their energy and keep them well, as recommended by Japanese acupuncture.
Of course, the catch: Most insurance does not cover acupuncture, so a monthly visit at $40-$55 may not be realistic -- although Boulder Family Acupuncture and some other area facilities offer sliding scales, and the wellness clinic is offered at a reduced rate. Still, acupuncture is not widely considered a mainstream medical treatment that Western society can explain -- despite studies, such as a 2012 study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, that show it is at least partly effective for some conditions and not purely a placebo
Kids from birth to age 7 are welcome in the full moon clinics.
Edlauer treats women who are trying to get pregnant and also once they are pregnant. In fact, she says prenatal acupuncture can help your baby's attitude after birth. Place a special needle on the "Happy Baby Point" and activating this spirit plane helps "release karmic baggage" and improve the mood once your baby is born, Edlauer says. It might be difficult to design a study to measure that; however, a Stanford study in the March 2010 issue of Obstetrics & Gynecology found that regular acupuncture can lessen maternal depression during pregnancy.
Acupuncture -- without needles?
If the idea of sticking a needle in your toddler sounds impractical, you're not alone; most local practitioners don't use needles on young children, depending on the kid, says Caroline Adams, with Left Hand Community Acupuncture.
"Especially with kids, after vaccinations, if you say I'm going to put this needle in your body, they don't like that," Adams says.
Instead, they practice a variety of different alternative treatments.
Edlauer uses a type of Chinese medical massage called tui na, which works with points on the meridian in a similar way that the needles do. She also uses herbal medicine, moxabustion (burning of herbs to bring white blood cells to the surface), cupping and shonishin. This treatment uses small rounded silver, gold or stainless steel tools to stroke, rub and tap on points and channels on the skin.
Daisy Lear, an acupuncturist in Longmont, also uses auriculotherapy, whereby you stimulate parts of the external ear that are believed to be connected with other parts of the body.
She uses a Japanese machine called a hibiki, which is supposed to test the "reactivity" of the points on the ear to indicate which parts of the body aren't doing well.
Kids like the hibiki because it makes a funny buzzing noise and they get to hold one end of it and see the numbers pop up on the gauge.
Lear also teaches kids and their parents how to stimulate channels using a soft toothbrush, your finger or, for tiny babies, a Q-tip.
"It's more fun. We can be silly treating kids," Lear says.
She says she first got into pediatric acupuncture through her own kids, now age 4 and 10. Whenever Jacob, the oldest, got sick, his mom treated him with cupping, a Chinese method that creates a partial vacuum by sticking special cups onto the skin.
He is so familiar with the technique that he gave his mom a cupping session on her back a few weeks ago.
She says she used the hibiki, along with homeopathic medicine, to help her youngest son through teething.
Children's sessions are also typically shorter: 45 minutes instead of 90 for the first session. A shonishin session typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes at Boulder Family Acupuncture.
Adams, with Left Hand, says children have a slightly different meridian system than adults do, too, and they tend to respond much quicker. If she does use needles with a child, she typically only uses a few and leaves them in for a second to just a few minutes.
"One misconception is that I'm using a whole lot of needles and turning their child into a porcupine," Adams says. "Also, it is so much about diet and lifestyle, too."

Robb Young necesitaba un nuevo diseño de impreso o envases y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 62 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Flight Level 500
Flight Level 500 is a web forum, mentor-ship service and educational training company that works with commercial flight schools and students, to help with every aspect of training.
We are currently starting a new course of educational seminars and need a new folder for the course materials handed out to students and attendees.
Students in commercial flights schools. The folders will also be used in future to hold additional hand outs and corporate training packs.
Flight Level 500 is an educational and mentorship service so the style of the folder design should suggest caring, mentoring and education. Obviously it should also suggest aviation.
We require an A4 folder with internal pockets and a slot to hold a membership card. The folder will hold the membership details for each student and these will be in one of 3 levels - Gold, Silver or Bronze. We only need the folder designed at this stage, however there may be additional work on offer for the winner to design the contents & membership card.
On the inside of the folder we were planning on having a welcome letter from the Managing Director, however this is the only requirement for the design. The font of this letter is up to the designer although we think a soft handwriting style might be nice (not too calligraphic). We would like the logo on the front, but the rest of the front can contain images or just left plain, this is up to the entrants. I will provide the text for the letter with an uploaded Word file.
The folder will be full color both inside and out.
Our website is http://www.fl500.com if you wish to take any cues from the color scheme. It's basically blue and white. I will upload the logo to be used.

Urban restoration projects are definitely the new agrarian frontier, as city dwellers rethink the possibilities for crop production in zones formerly deemed barren or simply too gritty. One can no longer be oblivious to the mediocre quality of fruits and vegetables, the costly trucking of fresh produce, or the senseless, landfill-bound packaging involved. It is high time that food production solutions sprout up in one's own backyard or on windowsills or rooftops that can also patch together a vibrant community. During the summer of 2009, the public art project, Sharecropper, aims to create a united system of agricultural production in the heart of NYC via a fresh interpretation of the landowner tenant agreement. This micro-farming initiative by artist Leah Gauthier might inspire New Yorkers to view wild edibles as agents of change, thanks to the parcel owners who have donated their unorthodox growing spaces for the greening of their real estates.
Agri-artist Leah Gauthier is a true believer in the 'roll-up-your-sleeve' effectiveness of art farming and food prep outreach. We loved Leah's micro-farming Sow-In Project at Eyebeam last year, so it is exciting to see new shoots of her work manifested in this community wide undertaking. For Sharecropper Summer '09, Leah will be using organic growing methods to plant rare and endangered heirloom vegetables and herbs on 17 parcels of donated land or plots located in each of NYC's five boroughs. A portion of this harvest will be shared with local soup kitchens, and series of public programs (urban farming panel discussions, art happenings, and cooking performances) around the city. The 17 growing sites extend from the Bowery to the Upper West Side and from Brooklyn to the Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanic Garden in Staten Island.
"This is a personal journey exploring agricultural plant matter and wild edibles as sculptural material, community building through growing and cooking food, re-imagining land use, and re-incorporating agrarian sensibilities and simplicity into modern life." – Leah Gauthier
If you are in NYC this summer and want to get in on the current wave of urban greening, Sharecropper is currently looking for volunteers for their June plantings. Sign up details are available on the Sharecropper site.

New PowerFlex front motor mounts in stock! *Added 12/7/2005!
Wanted to let the Evo guys know I am stocked up on these new urethane front motor mounts for easier shifting. Forget about WeaponR or stiffy dampers. This should be your answer and for less money!
Powerflex is a UK based company that is Europe's largest manufacturer of polyurethane suspension and vehicle components.
This bushing is made from a 80 durometer polyurethane where the OEM rubber bushing is rated at about a 45-50 durometer rubber material (much softer) and the Powerflex kit comes supplied with a specific stainless steel sleeve and a packet of copper grease/anti-seize.
It is a direct replacement for the soft OEM front mount bushing and fits with absolutely no modification. Installation takes about 20 minutes. The most difficult part is removing the factory bushing from the mount. Without a press, you basically have to destroy it to get it out, but once accomplished, the Powerflex bushing fits in easily.
Regular price is $50.00 ea and seems that most may be able to self-install in approximately 20 minutes. However when we install our first, we will price out installation.
The front motor mount for the Evo 4, 5, 6, and 7 is the same mount with identical fitment on all of those applications, but was never test fit onto an Evo 8, but we confirmed the fitment of this mount on a US spec Evo 8 at the importers location. Attached are photos of the fitment results.

A friend recently shared this with me. Death Notices of Members of Fraternal Orders can be found online at the Kansas State Historical Society web page. There is a lot more than this on their web page, so be sure to do some exploring. However, very seldom do we find such an interesting database showing the fraternal order, as well as names and date of death notice.
The organizations and years covered are:
AOUW - Ancient Order of United Workmen 1879-1908
KP - Knights of Pythias 1877-1918
IOOF - Independent Order of Odd Fellows 1873-1970
Rebekah - Rebekah Assembly of the IOOF 1891-1953
There are over 50,000 individuals listed who had a death notice posted in the proceedings of the fraternal order. Using this, you can seek out more information such as probate files, newspaper obituaries, land records, city directories and cemetery records.
If you have Kansas ancestry, check it out!

text: Hi, I just found out about the arduino about 2 weeks ago and rushed out and bought one. I have been researching for two weeks about how to use it. What i want to do is control a 4wd home made Rc with a pan and tilt turret on top. I want to use a ps2 controller and use wireless xbees. I have already used the psx2 code, and got the controller working. So im have a problem trying to learn how to get the arduino uno to output to transistors so i can run motors and servos with the joy sticks. I know to makes the circuits for the motors with transistors and what not. Basically i want the left joy stick to drive foward,back,left,and right, and the right joy stick to pan and tilt some servos tied togeather. Ill be using four motors the drive each wheel. I need some help with adding to the psx2 program to make this happen. Any help would be great thanks!

Electricity near Streeter, North
By Dr. Don Hoffman, Redlands, California
I was born on "VJ Day" in August of 1945. My earliest recollections began about 1950. At the time we had a 32 Volt Electrical System on our family farm about 15 miles SW of Streeter, North Dakota. I don't remember the year that Mom and Dad had the house 'wired' for 32 Volt. However, I heard about the installation many times. Dad's dear friend from his childhood days..."Todie" Zimmerman from Carrington, ND wired the house. When the job was finished "Todie" insisted that 'Little Donnie' be the first to flip the switch. I could barely get my little finger 'up' to the switch but was able to flip it ON!! It was possibly 1947.
Electricity was generated by a generator driven by a 3-bladed propeller. This assembly was atop a 40 foot steel tower. In the basement of our house was a small panel with a guage and some switches next to two rows of Large Upright Rectangular Glass 'jars' which were the batteries. There were 16 Batteries each capable of 2 volts.
There seems to be CONSTANT wind on the Great Plains but at times there is calm that can last for days. From time to time this happened and the lights would get dimmer and dimmer. I can recall times that I was asked to go down to the basement and look at the 'guage' to see how much electricity was left in the batteries. Apparently decisions were then made as to what electrical devices or how many lights could be used that night. It was important to save enough 'power' to run the Cream Separator the next day.
On occasion I can clearly recall my Parents sending a note to the teacher to tell that my Sister could not get her homework done the night before. This was because their had been no wind, the batteries were low and there was not sufficient light wherewith to read and study.
My Mother did the laundry on windy days. Not only for the wind to dry the laundry on the clothesline but to provide the power needed to run the 'washmachine' motor. Interestingly we did not use the term 'Washing Machine'.
Our 'Wind Charger' was 40 feet tall. Our 'Windmill' for pumping water was 30 feet tall. To this day I can fairly closely 'guess' the height of something in that range because of those two 'standards' I so often saw as a child.
This TALL 'Wind Charger' served other purposes as well. Since our farm was on a hill, the tallest point in the immediate neighborhood, we could climb that tower armed with binoculars and SEE things FAR away. As a Child this was a great passtime. Also, in those "Pre-Cellphone" days, the 'Wind Charger' served as a 'communication' device. When it was time for dinner, (City People call it Lunch) one of us was commissioned to climb the tower and hang a rug over one of the ladder rungs. Dad would see this from up to a mile away and come home for dinner.
From time to time disaster strikes out on the Plains. One morning after a particular robust thunderstorm my Uncle Herman Miller drove into our yard and asked if we could come over and 'help' them.
Lightning had struck somewhere on the Wiring of his 32 Volt System. That event broke ALL of his (16) glass battery jars. Battery acid and broken glass was all over the basement floor. I was young but can remember the precaution of rubber gloves and rubber overshoes to tackle and clean up the mess. Strangely I do not recall what they used for electricity after that. I suspicion that "REA" was on the way and was soon the new source of power.
The "Rural Electrification Association" (REA) came into our neighborhood in the early to mid-50's. Again I don't remember the exact year. This was BIG excitement. One of the wonderful aspects of this miracle was the "Yard Light". We could flip a switch and LIGHT UP the entire yard. What a 'Wonder'. Many Youth Events and Family 'Parties' were enjoyed around a 'campfire' in the yard under that "Yard Light". Going out to check the cattle before bedtime on seriously sub-zero winter nights was so much more desirable with that "Yard Light".
Once we had "REA" I can remember another curious phenomenon. Now that the 32 Volt systems were no longer needed and dismantled one would see these big battery 'jars' in homes everywhere. They were used as fish acquariums, flower and rock arrangement acquariums as well as all manner of things one could do with such a large glass 'jar'. I remember seeing these 'jars' well into the 1960's. They were probably even used to make 'Sauerkraut'!!
The Farms were then 'Electrified' but the our Country School, Ketterling #1, was not. That wonderful One-Room school functioned until the Spring of 1960 and never had electricity. We always had a Christmas Program with Plays, Singing, Gifts (everyone chose names and traded gifts), Candy and Food. These wonderful events were held during the daylight hours because of no electric lights. However, on one or two occasions this Joyous event was held at night!! Families were encouraged to bring their kerosene barn lanterns and kitchen lanterns. The kitchen lanterns were set on desks and tables while the barn lanterns were hung from a steel rod that passed thru the room above the blackboard and windows. This effect was Wonderful and I can 'picture' it Exactly, to this day!
This is an overview of some of my recollections of rural electrical power in the late 40's and 1950's near Streeter, ND.

|In modern reservoir management, optimizing the recovery efficiency of displacement processes is a fundamental problem with important economic ramifications. Given a well configuration, the optimum displacement efficiency may be achievable through controlling injection rates. Smart wells and intelligent completion have gained significant attention in recent years in the field of dynamic optimization of Enhanced Oil Recovery processes.; The specific question we address is how to partition the flow rate within the well, so that the displacement front can be steered according to pre-determined dynamics, or as is necessary. The ability to steer a front at will is of obvious significance. Given the reservoir geology, one can for example, steer the front away from flow obstacles, affect a piston-like displacement in heterogeneous formations or otherwise control the displacement process as needed.; The objective of this thesis is to investigate the steering of the front by partitioning the injection rates along the well. First, the problem is addressed in a simple rectangular geometry based on potential flow. It is assumed that the flow is potential and that the displacement is at a unit mobility ratio. These assumptions are for mathematical convenience only and can be relaxed. They allow, however, significant insight into the problem. When the reservoir is homogeneous and isotropic, an integral equation in an analytical form is derived, the solution of which determines the desired injection rate profile. A similar approach applies for an anisotropic or a heterogeneous system, except that the kernel in the integral equation must be determined numerically. This is done either by repeated calculations of the Green's function in a heterogeneous system or for a modified two well system. For the solution of the integral (Fredholm) equation, a regularization technique is necessary. However, it is found that numerical instabilities do develop, even with the use of regularization, for later times, when transverse cross-flow is large. Conversely, the instabilities diminish with a more stratified structure. The application of the technique is highlighted and extended to heterogeneous systems where itscomplexity and the solution were studied. Also in a forward displacement problem, the effect of rate fluctuations on the front dynamics were analyzed in a semi-infinite porous media. We considered the special case of injection rate with one harmonic term. It was found that the front is less sensitive to the fluctuations in rate for larger harmonic terms.; The results of this study find applications to the rapidly emerging field of smart wells and the optimization of displacement problems in oil reservoirs using flow rate control.

Taylor's "Vintage Bright" Room
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Taylor
- Location:
- Toronto Canada
- Division:
- International
- Inspiration for my palette:
- We wanted out condo to feel fun and a little quirky. We appreciate neutrals in other people's homes but we like our home to be vibrant. We also like to be able to add new objects or art without a worry of whether or not it matches. We enjoy new artists as well as reclaimed materials, geology, nature and vintage furniture and we wanted our room to "work" without looking either too disorganized or too planned.
- Colors used in my room:
- We painted the walls a cool gray and kept our flooring light to create an open, airy space. We had fun with the colour in our accessories and mixed the earth tones of natural materials with vibrant splashes of red, orange, teal and blue. To be honest, we found the red flokati on Craigslist just after we purchased the condo and the room began to take shape from there. We think our use of black, white and gray provides balance and allows us to add colour without it being overpowering.
- Tips for using color successfully:
- We are so glad we choose cool, neutral walls. They really allow us to maintain a colourful space without the walls closing in on us or the appearance of clutter. We really wanted to emphasize the large open space that we have in our condo. One day, we will probably try something more dramatic but we will really need to pay attention to the light in the room to see what it tells us. Light wall colours are much more forgiving!

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has rapped Rustlers-owner Kepak for running the online video ads after it received 18 complaints that the campaign presented women as sex objects, with an additional four complainants objecting that one of the ads could be seen by children.
Kepak was censured for running ads on its Rustlers website that featured the strapline, "Fit as a butcher's daughter" and included the scantily clad woman stroking a large salami sausage and saying, "before I put something in my mouth I want to know where it's been".
The convenience food company defended the ad, created by BJL Group, by claiming it believed the woman was "in control rather than a woman who was being exploited".
Although the ASA decided the majority of the creative from the campaign was not offensive to adults, it did rule the two executions hosted on the Rustlers website did present the woman as a "sex object".
Interactive elements on the ads further damaged Kepak's attempts to deny the ads were sexist, because they allowed users to jump to certain words or phrases in the woman's speech that became sexually explicit when combined in a certain order.
One of the other less sexually provocative ads was also banned because it ran the risk of being seen by children using their parent's iPad.
The ASA accepted Kepak had asked its network advertising partner to make sure the web ads were only targeted at 16- to 24-year-old males, but ruled this safety measure was not sufficient.
The regulator added it was likely that children, who often used devices such as iPads owned by their parents to play games, could have seen the ad.

'The Past' is present: Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi returns with tale of complex romantic triangle
When A Separation won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film of 2011, its writer-director Asghar Farhadi made Oscar history, having created the first Iranian film to go home with the prize. His acceptance speech, in which he dedicated the award to the people of his country, was brief yet memorable, and celebrated that the name of his country was being mentioned alongside its rich, glorious culture at a politically complicated time. "A culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics," he said.
On top of Farhadi's firm control over the film's multi-layered plot and emotional turns, the brilliance of A Separation certainly had a lot to do with the way he employed many aspects of Iranian culture and societal structure in telling a widely universal, accessible and ultimately relatable story, brushing aside the political dust he referred to in his speech. The same can be said about his cinema entirely, with films that tell culturally charged yet emotionally borderless stories, whether they are set in Iran like his previous films, or set in France like his latest, The Past—a beautiful, multifaceted and immensely crafty film which first screened at the Cannes Film Festival last May (and which is now Iran's official entry for the 86th Academy Awards).
I saw The Past at the 40th Telluride Film Festival last September, and spoke to Farhadi about it, along with the recurring themes in his cinema and his artistic sensibilities. Addressing why he set his latest story in Paris, France, instead of Iran, he explained, "I didn't decide to make this story in France. The story told me that I needed to make it happen outside of Iran. My story is about a man going to another country. Because the subject and the theme of the story are about the past, I had to choose a place that has the flavor and smell of the past."
Farhadi noted that he's been traveling to Paris a lot recently, and that he feels close to its atmosphere. "There are many common elements between our country, Iran, and the French. And that's why when I go there, I don't feel I'm a stranger." He added, "I wanted to base the story upon the similarities—our commonness, not our differences. This story is making sense to both countries, to both people."
For fans of A Separation, but especially those familiar with the filmmaker's full filmography—which includes Dancing in the Dust, Beautiful City, Fireworks Wednesday and About Elly—there is no mistaking Farhadi's signature storytelling style, which is also evident in his new Sony Pictures Classics release. He usually avoids using music until the ending (not because he is against it, but because he wants to establish a certain documentary-like realism), and the layers of his often urban stories can be peeled like an onion in a detective-like pursuit of the truth hidden within. Asked about his process of constructing his scripts, he revealed that he first starts with a small, raw story. "Then I play the devil's advocate with it. I keep asking why this person is doing this and why the other person is behaving that way. And I give the characters the chance to defend themselves. Have you seen the Russian dolls? When you open it, there is a smaller one. And then you keep opening. You keep going deeper and deeper inside. I don't want the story I want to tell to start from A and end at B. I want it to start from the A point and I want to circle around until I get to the heart of it. That's why there is always a situation that I have to hover around." He added, "I always want to finish my film the moment where the audience thinks that this story is actually going to start."
With The Past, Farhadi once again tackles the many universal complexities of being a family, and ultimately being human, while its main protagonists Marie (Bérénice Bejo), Samir (Tahar Rahim) and Ahmad (Ali Mosaffa) unveil secrets, search for truth, and are challenged to make some impossible decisions along the way, putting their personal ethics at stake. Asked about his fascination with stories that evolve around families, the director said he thinks of family as a "prototype of a bigger society. It's very rich in its content. It's got kids. It's got women. It's got men. It's got older people. So I thought instead of analyzing and depicting a bigger society, I could show the dynamics of a family, which are exactly as the dynamics of a society."
It's worth noting here that Farhadi's stories usually find a certain level of strength and authenticity through the key roles children (who observe more than we give them credit for) hold in them. "I can't even think about a story that doesn't have a child in it," he declared. "If there is no child, I will not make the film." He observed that the more people age, the closer they get to their own childhood, and that as he grows, he wants to go back to his own childhood. "It's like I am seeing my own childhood through the eyes and lives of those children," He added that children bring honesty to his movies, a gauge to find the truth.
This brings us to the topic of the search for truth and justice, perhaps the most evident common denominator of his films. I reminded the director about the comparisons drawn between A Separation and Akira Kurosawa's Rashomon at the time of its release. We tend to simplify the truth by thinking we can just go and grab it, he observed. "But for me, the truth is not something you can grab. It's everywhere. It's moving. Because all of the characters in the movie, when they are saying something, they all believe that they are saying the truth. And they are saying just a part of the truth. What I strongly believe is that the truth is no absolute. It's very relative. The best example is Rashomon. I love that film. And that's also the truth. And every time you hear the story, there is one point of this truth. And at the end we still don't know which one is the real truth."
One element that helps truth take its many shapes in most of Farhadi's films is the way it's transported from room to room, or overheard through doors or hallways. The Past, for instance, is mostly set in Marie's Parisian home, where Ahmad arrives from Iran to finalize his divorce from his wife, who now is in a live-in relationship with Samir. To Farhadi, home is a very important element of his family-centered stories, and his background in theatre and stage work really helps him to "work within the confinements of rooms and walls." "I'm a stage director. And that's why when I use this space, I am kind of creating a bridge between my background and the films that I'm making."
There's a constant tease of danger that occurs in confined spaces (more literal in About Elly and Dancing in the Dust, yet subtler in Farhadi's other films including The Past). "This comes from dramaturgy," he observed. "The drama is that first you have a status quo. Then something happens and suddenly changes everything. And then everything is trying to bring the situation back to the status quo. So it's like art; it's still. But then you drop this stone in it and it creates ripples. So those ripples and those waves, they get to the wall and then they create another set of ripples and waves. So I always think that all the stories happen as if you've dropped this stone into that lake. In About Elly, the disappearance of Elly was the stone that was dropped. In A Separation, when the woman decides that she wants to get separated, that's when the stone gets dropped."
Farhadi noted that The Past sits in a slightly distinct place among his stories. "The stone had been dropped before in the past. And now we are only seeing the ripples coming back. That's why the rhythm of this film is a bit different from my other films. My previous film has a very high intensity because it's happening in the moment. But here the events had happened four years ago."
I shared my observation that the women in his films seem to have more intuition and mystery than men. Farhadi countered that he doesn't split his characters into female and male when writing his stories, but added, "The women in my films are always willing for some change. But the men want stability. Women are more facing the future and men are more facing towards the past. And women, they want to become more modernized, but men want to hold onto their traditions. And it's the clash of these two opposites that creates drama. But also, I don't know why I say it, but I always feel women are more mysterious than men."
Looking back on his Oscar triumph with A Separation, Farhadi insisted that nothing has changed in his personal life. His relationship with his family and his friends has remained the same. "The biggest change was that it increased my audience everywhere," he acknowledged. "Now I know when I make films, there are people who are expecting to see them. This has made my work easier." But he also touched upon the danger of the prize, admitting, "I should now compete with myself."
Last September was actually not the first time Asghar Farhadi was in Telluride. He was there a couple of years ago with A Separation, and apparently worked out a scene of The Past while in town. I took this opportunity to ask him whether he was then working on his next project, being back at Telluride. "Yeah, these days that I'm spending in Telluride, I actually have meetings that are concerned with my next project," he confided. "Just before we came here, I was telling the story of my next project to an American and I wanted to see his reaction. When I was in Telluride before, I recall I was writing the scene, the notes, about the laundry. Because when I came to the city and I went out on the street, I realized there are no laundries here in this town."

Congress Wants To Ask Twitter Execs About All The Ads From Prostitutes
After months of reporting, TheStreet found more than a thousand of Twitter profiles advertising escorts and dominatrixes, and at least two international networks of escorts that "rely on the Twitter platform to promote and execute their services."
The scope of Twitter's broadcast has alarmed some sex workers, reports TheStreet:
The reach of marketing pitches made by escort services on Twitter surprised even those plying the trade.
Cassie, a woman in her 20s who works as an escort in the Midwest and said she doubles as a prostitute, said she was unprepared for the international calls she received.
"It is definitely a concern to me that my information was broadcast there," said Cassie, who asked that her real name not be used, after TheStreet notified her that the international escort service, ErosGuide, repeatedly tweeted out her profile offering services.
Many of those profiles seem to violate Twitter's terms of service. But as TheStreet notes, Twitter's plan for enforcing its own rules is unclear:
Twitter's terms dictate that the message system — limited to 140 characters per message or tweet — not be employed for "any unlawful purposes or in furtherance of illegal activities." Further, the company's rules prohibit pornographic images from appearing in "header photos or user background." How these rules would be enforced was not spelled out.
TheStreet notified Rep. Chris Smith, a Republican from New Jersey who sits on the subcommittee investigating human trafficking:
Addressing Ambassador-at-Large Luis CdeBaca of the U.S. State Department's office to monitor and combat human trafficking, Smith asked at the subcommittee hearing that he speak to U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder to initiate a crackdown on Twitter, Backpage, Craigslist and other social media "that are the conduit for this terrible exploitation of women."
"I'll certainly relay that, sir, and I would love to hear more about the information on Twitter," CdeBaca said.
After that meeting, Smith said he planned to ask Twitter executives to testify on Capitol Hill:
"I'm going to look at putting together a hearing to focus on Twitter," Smith said. "We'll look to do a hearing very soon."
According to TheStreet, Twitter's guidelines for pornography and escorts "appear to be more lax" than Facebook and LinkedIn. Last year, LinkedIn updated its TOS to say users could not "create profiles or provide content that promotes escort services." Twitter isn't so laissez-faire about other activities on its platform. Beer brands require a multi-step process before you can become an approved follower, although in that case it's the alcohol brand that request it.
We've reached out to Twitter and will update the post when we hear back. But the newly-public company should take Rep. Smith's threats—and the TheStreet's eagerness—seriously. The blog noted that it:
...provided the congressman evidence of dozens of escorts and prostitutes in the New York City area listed on Twitter in advance of this year's Super Bowl in New Jersey.
And as the New York Times reported yesterday, there was a big spike in prostitution arrests in the area.
Update: A Twitter spokesperson responded to questions from Valleywag with the following statement:
"We do not proactively monitor content on Twitter and we rely on users to report potentially illegal content for review, using tools available on our site. When we are made aware of content that violates our terms of service, we remove it. Additionally, if we are contacted directly by law enforcement, we can work with them and provide assistance for their investigation as well as guidance around possible approaches."
The spokesperson also directed us to Twitter ads policy on adult or sexual products and services as well as the company's guidelines for law enforcement.

MACON, Ga. – The Atlantic Sun Conference released its Academic All-Conference Team Tuesday with three men's track and field performers on it. Junior Tucker Peabody and sophomores Houston Ward and Andrew Wolf were named to the squad for their academic and athletic performance.
"We always take pride in our academic achievements, as much as our ever increasing athletic accomplishments," Bill Taylor, director of cross country and track and field, said. "It is a big point of emphasis in our program."
Peabody, the two-time defending champion in the 200 meter dash, owns a 3.32 GPA in Biology. Peabody also advanced to the finals of the 60-meter dash at the A-Sun meet while competing on the 4X400 relay squad.
Ward garnered silver medalist honors in the shot put at the A-Sun Championships. His mark of 14.89 meters earned him his second-straight all-conference placing. Ward holds a 3.53 GPA with a major in Human Resource Management.
Wolf set the school-record in the 60-meter hurdles at A-Sun Championships. He advanced to the finals of the event, finishing with a time of 8.51 seconds. Wolf is a Mechanical Engineering major with a 3.58 GPA.
"Our men's team is very well represented," Taylor said. "I'm proud of them and hope to see more of our men on the Academic All-Conference team in the future."

Baltimore Sun reporters Don Markus and Jeff Barker and producer-editor Jonas Shaffer weigh in on three topics from the past week in Maryland sports.
Should the basketball team stick with Charles Mitchell in the starting lineup against Florida State?
Don Markus: The first few minutes of Mitchell's first start of the 2013-14 season Tuesday night against North Carolina did not go well. He missed a couple of seemingly easy shots, committed a turnover and did not get back in transition.
But the 6-foot-8, 260-pound sophomore was a major reason why the Terps made a game of it at all after falling behind 19-3. He dominated the boards, had a nice 3-point play and blocked a couple of shots.
His final stat line – 13 points, five rebounds and three blocked shots in 20 minutes – showed that he at least contributed to Maryland's cause in what turned out to be a 75-63 defeat to the Tar Heels.
Yet I would not keep Mitchell in the starting lineup – at least not at center. Nor would I play Mitchell and fellow sophomore Shaquille Cleare together, something Mark Turgeon envisioned doing at times when he recruited them.
Going into Saturday's game against Florida State, a team many consider the best around the rim in the ACC outside of Syracuse, the Terps need to get bigger and more athletic inside.
Which brings me to Damonte Dodd.
All season long, Turgeon has been saying that he needs to find more minutes for the 6-9, 250-pound freshman from the Eastern Shore. Dodd didn't get off the bench in Chapel Hill, while Cleare got one rebound in 15 minutes.
Those who are privy to what happens at – from Turgeon and his assistant coaches to Dodd's teammates and to others who are allowed to watch from inside the court-level curtains at Comcast Center – rave about Dodd's defensive ability.
Why not start Mitchell, who still has some major defensive flaws but can be active on the boards, along with Dodd at center and either Jake Layman and Evan Smotrycz at small forward? At least there is a shot blocker (11 in 54 minutes) on the floor if Mitchell, Layman or Smotrycz get beat.
Turgeon has tried Jon Graham a couple of times in the starting lineup, but as hard as the 6-8 junior from Calvert Hall plays, he's a good role player, one of the few who is capable of giving the Terps a defensive lift off the bench.
When the Seminoles crushed Maryland by 24 points in Tallahassee a few weeks ago, they did it by hitting 16 3-point shots. Yet they will go into College Park Saturday with the idea of beating the Terps with their athleticism and length inside.
I know that Turgeon is not ready to give up on Cleare. There are players all over the country – big men in particular – who take longer to figure it out. I wouldn't either, knowing how hard Cleare works.
But if this season is still salvageable – something many fans doubt and media types are at least questioning – Mitchell might have to get more minutes. If so, he'll need help inside from someone bigger and more athletic, starting Saturday against Florida State.
Someone like Damonte Dodd.
With the addition of its new football class, how equipped will the Terps be to handle the Big Ten next season?
Jeff Barker: It will be a challenge, obviously. Playing at Michigan, Penn State and Wisconsin will be a whole new deal for the Terps. Maryland's best frame of reference will be its games at Florida State and Clemson. But no stadium in the ACC comes close to the 100,000-plus capacity of the Big House or Beaver Stadium.
But the timing is pretty good for the Terps. You want to enter the Big Ten with a quarterback who will not be easily rattled. C.J. Brown has been a leader on this team for years. He's been around since 2009 -- longer than the coach, the university president and the athletic director. They should give him tenure. They should endow a chair in his name.
Brown is the guy you want going to stadiums that hold about twice as many fans as Maryland's.
Imagine if Maryland were represented in its first Big Ten season by the 2011 team that defeated just one FBS team and lost its last eight games. You only get once chance to make a first impression.
The 2014 team will be vastly superior to coach Randy Edsall's first Maryland squad. This will be a season in which the college careers of Maryland's two most coveted recruits in years – receiver Stefon Diggs and offensive lineman Damian Prince – will overlap. Receiver Deon Long is another NFL-caliber talent. Receiver Marcus Leak and running back Wes Brown return after missing 2013. Cornerback Will Likely is another Terp who could play for any program.
There are significant concerns, of course, on both sides of the ball. Even with the addition of Prince, the offensive line remains a work in progress. Lines need time to develop cohesion, particularly if freshmen are asked to play starting roles. Brown absorbed some brutal hits last season, and the competition is only getting tougher.
But -- like the stock market -- college football programs are often cyclical. And the Big Ten is catching the Terps on the rise.
Which players in Maryland's 2014 football recruiting class are worth following?
Jonas Shaffer: To borrow an idea from my predecessor, I present to you some class superlatives:
Most wanted: Offensive tackle Damian Prince and linebacker Jesse Aniebonam. The Terps needed talent in the trenches as they lay the foundation for their future in the Big Ten Conference. That Prince and Aniebonam were the top-rated players in the state was just a bonus for a team lacking elite-level linemen.
Most likely to contribute early: Offensive tackle Larry Mazyck and linebacker Nnamdi Egbuaba. Mazyck, a junior-college All-American, only has two years to play in College Park. He might not be as talented as Prince or Damian Prince, but physically, he should be more ready for a starting or key reserve role. Egbuaba, meanwhile, has the physical gifts you look for in a special teams ace.
Most underrated: Quarterback/athlete Will Ulmer and linebacker Tyler Burke. Ulmer will be given the chance to play quarterback, where his future is, barring a technical overhaul, somewhat limited, but he better projects as an elusive slot receiver and punt returner. Burke, meanwhile, though not blazing fast or awesomely big, seems to be what you look for in a middle linebacker: smart, no-frills and steady.

Can you not wait for Apple to release a second, Retina Display equipped iPad 3 (or iPad 2 HD/Pro/Plus) this year, or does the mere thought of it fill you with unbridled geek rage? The rumors keep getting stronger, and TiPb and many others have heard that Apple is seriously considering adding a new iPad to the already chock-a-block fall lineup.
If you just paid $500-$900 for an iPad 2, it's understandable that that would set you off. You wanted top of the line for 2011 and you expected your investment to be top of the line until at least next spring. How could Apple try and obsolete your beautiful new iPad 2 just 6 months out of the gate?
Some of you might look at your iPad 2 and really be annoyed by the lack of Retina Display, and want Apple to address that asap, damn the costs. Or maybe you skipped iPad 2 because it wasn't a big enough bump and have been waiting to go Retina for a while already, and the sooner the better. Hey, maybe you haven't even gotten on the iPad train yet and this is the model you've been holding out for, and now is not a problem.
Apple has already sold over 20 million plus iPads and while that's a good chunk of potential upgrades, they likely have their eyes set on a much bigger prize -- the over 100 million iPhone uses who don't have iPads yet, and beyond them, the hundreds of millions of consumers who don't have any iOS devices at all yet.
Apple has us, understands we'll upgrade when and if we can, but it wants them. Would a more expensive iPad be the way to increase their already market leading share of the tablet market? Maybe a little. The bigger share will be, of course, at the lower end of the market -- a place Apple has eschewed in the past for everything but iPods. But an iPad Pro to fit the MacBook Pro square in the product matrix is interesting... if the standard iPad 2 gets a price drop to better address the lower end at the same time...
Either way, how do you feel about Apple potentially releasing a second iPad this year?

Ferdinand Porsche, the designer of the iconic 911 sportscar, has died in Salzburg at the age of 76.
Porsche, nicknamed Butzi, was the son of former Porsche Chairman Ferry Porsche and the grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, who set the company up as a design and engineering firm in the 1930s.
"As creator of the Porsche 911, he established a design culture that shapes our sportscars still today," Matthias Mueller, chief executive officer of Porsche AG, said in an e-mail statement.
"His philosophy of good design is for us a legacy that we will also honor in the future."
The German designer joined the company in 1956 in the technical design department before being appointed manager of the design studios six years later.
Within 12 months a design classic was born with the launch of the 911, a model that continues to be built 50 years later; the seventh-generation Porsche 911 was released last year.
He left the company in 1972 to set up the Porsche Design Group, which created a range of products, including watches, glasses, pens and latterly mobile phones.
AP reported that Porsche is to be buried in a private ceremony in the chapel at Schuettgut, the Porsche family's estate in Zell am See, Austria, the location of the Porsche Design Studio.

Sure-thing Hall of Famers fill Expansion Era ballot
I'm glancing at the list of 12 candidates on the Expansion Era ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
I'm still glancing.
I'm glancing at the list of 12 candidates on the Expansion Era ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
I'm still glancing.
When I first saw the likes of Bobby Cox, Joe Torre and Tony La Russa near the top of the list, I had this overwhelming thought: Glad I'm not voting. After all, the question for those who actually are voting won't be who among these candidates should go to Cooperstown, but who shouldn't go.
George Steinbrenner. Marvin Miller. Dave Concepcion. Billy Martin (as a player and manager). On and on the list goes, and that means this ballot is loaded with deserving candidates for members of the Expansion Era voting committee to ponder. If you go by the names and the resumes, the committee will do just fine. The group includes Hall of Famers Rod Carew, Carlton Fisk, Whitey Herzog, Tom Lasorda, Paul Molitor, Joe Morgan, Phil Niekro and Frank Robinson. They are joined by noted baseball minds, ranging from White Sox chairman Jerry Reinsdorf to Jack O'Connell, the secretary-treasurer of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
That committee is not to be confused with the group of regular Hall of Fame voters, which includes me. Our ballot arrives at the end of the month with a list of players who have been retired at least five years and who satisfy a given set of standards. While our results won't be announced until the first week of January, the results involving the Expansion Era voters will become public on Dec. 9 during the first day of the Winter Meetings in Lake Buena Vista, Fla.
Can't wait. As is the case for candidates selected by regular Hall of Fame voting, those involved with Expansion Era balloting must receive 75 percent of the votes to reach Cooperstown. Unlike the case for candidates selected by regular Hall of Fame voting, those involved with Expansion Era balloting have a smaller set of voters to decide their fate. A much smaller set, like 16 members for the Expansion Era Committee compared to the more than 500 members of the BBWAA who are eligible each year to pick candidates for Cooperstown through the regular Hall of Fame voting process.
Nobody was inducted into Cooperstown last year by the writers, who largely rejected a number of candidates associated with steroid use. And there was nothing wrong with that. Cooperstown is an exclusive club. In fact, this Expansion Era Committee was commissioned by the BBWAA only to consider players, managers, umpires and executives of significance from 1973 to the present as part of a three-year cycle. The so-called Golden Age of 1947-72 will be voted on in 2014, and the following year, candidates will be considered from the Pre-Integration Era from 1871-1946.
The last time one of these committees voted for Hall of Famers was in 2010, when former baseball executive Pat Gillick received the necessary 75 percent to reach Cooperstown. Nobody else did. You have to think that will change after the ballots are counted from this particular committee, and not because of a backlash over Gillick's solo selection or because of the regular Hall of Fame voters pitched a shutout in 2013. It will be because a bunch of folks deserve entry into Cooperstown this time around.
I mean, Cox, Torre and La Russa are no-brainers, especially since they spent a couple of decades winning divisions, pennants and World Series championships at a ridiculous rate. They rank among the all-time best in nearly every category for managers.
Here's another automatic guy: Steinbrenner. Love him or hate him, you couldn't ignore him. He was The Boss, indeed, and courtesy of his overwhelming personality, he made the Yankees relevant again after he purchased them in the early 1970s. First, Steinbrenner reached deep into his pockets to create a dominant team in the late '70s with stars such as Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter and Goose Gossage. In the '90s, the Yankees returned to prominence with sustained success that resulted in four World Series titles in five years.
Then there is Marvin Miller, the most effective head of a players' association in the history of professional sports. And, yes, he contributed to the majority of baseball's work stoppages, but he also was a huge part of the solution when they ended. Miller also joined Curt Flood as the primary forces behind the end to baseball's reserve clause, which restricted players from moving from team to team. In the aftermath, the game surged to a higher level with much help from the free agency that they created.
Now to those on the edge of Cooperstown -- such as Martin the manager, for instance. Despite 16 years in charge of five Major League teams, he never finished higher than fourth in Manager of the Year Award voting. Still, Martin ewas effective as they come at turning teams into instant infernos out of nowhere. It's just that he often had a tendency to burn himself up in the process, especially during the five times that he was hired and fired by Steinbrenner with the Yankees. Nevertheless, Martin won division titles with four franchises, and he captured two pennants and a World Series championship with the Yankees.
Sounds like a Hall of Famer to me.
The same goes for Concepcion, who was more than just the starting shortstop on a Big Red Machine team that dominated much of the 1970s. Before Concepcion's career, Major League shortstops were mostly one dimensional -- all-field, little-hit, not much of anything else. After Concepcion's career, you had Cal Ripken Jr., Barry Larkin, Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter and the rest, because during Concepcion's career, he showed everybody that shortstops could field, hit and run.
The others on the Expansion Era ballot? Well, they had nice careers: Steve Garvey, Tommy John, Ted Simmons, Dave Parker and Dan Quisenberry. Nice isn't good enough for Cooperstown.

Information about Prophetic act:http://kzlam36.wordpress.com/tag/prophetic-act/http://enlivenpublishing.com/blog/2010/06/29/the-power-of-a-prophetic-act/http://www.gospel.org.nz/FreeArticles/OthersArticles/PROPHETIC%20%20ACTS.htm
Recent Year, Charismatic Church have a new teaching
Here is a testimony about Prophetic drawing or Prophetic drawing in a Charismatic Church:http://www.ibethel.org/testimonies/2012/11/21/healing-and-prophetic-art
Is this miracle /testimony come from evil?
Quote from: walter1234 on December 12, 2012, 08:54:43 AMIs this miracle /testimony come from evil? No. From an empty skull, more likely.
If you spend long enough on this forum, you'll come away with all sorts of weird, untrue ideas of Orthodox Christianity.
I would suggest most persons in general avoid any question beginning with why.
Having briefly perused the articles I think that this is nothing new, the articles certainly give plenty of Biblical examples of what they're talking about. I don't think it's even new in the Charismatics, Pentecostal churches. Perhaps at most no one ever collected stories and put a name to it before. I certainly don't believe it's new from an Orthodox perspective and would largely equate it with the experiences of Saints called "Fools for Christ". That about what they're calling Prophetic Acts. Now about the Orthodox perspective on the "Charismatic's" teaching of Prophetic act, I believe you've just heard a good deal of it. I would, however, differ somewhat from some of my friends and would not so lightly dismiss the ability of the Holy Spirit to act on/in/through believers who are outside of the Church. I've seen and know far to many people who profess the Father Son and Holy Spirit in fear and humility who have had experiences that that are not possible in the natural world as a result of calling upon God and who, in those experiences give all glory to Him.
You mean 'prophetic act' does exist in Orthodox Tradition within 2000 years .Just no one collected all theses stories and name them as 'prophetic act' ?
Yes, basically, what I mean is that the types of actions cited sporadically in the Bible didn't stop at the end of the apostalistic era. They have continued right down through the history of the Church. In Orthodox circles we would call people who did such actions "Fools for Christ's sake". An example would be Basil the Blessed buried in the Cathedral that bears his name. He wandered around naked and in chains, stole to give to the poor and rebuked the Tsar. Yet when he died the Metropolitan conducted his funeral, the Tsar himself was a pallbearer and he was declared a Saint less than a decade after his death. Another example would be Saint Xenia of St. Petersberg, but there have been many thoughtout the history of the Church.Even in Protestant circles I would suggest it's nothing new and has been practiced here and there throughout. But my guess regarding the articleswould be that someone recently started cataloging such occurrences and, not knowing church history, decided it was something new not seen since the Bible so they gave it a name and called it a movement.
Charismatics, Pentecostals, etc do not have the Holy Spirit.

This is a story.
A group of Karate students were practicing kumite. Because space in the dojo was limited, they were in close proximity. These students trained hard and were pretty good at kumite... but they all wore jewelry.
Sally executed a flying side kick. Her toe ring got caught on David's earring. As Sally landed on the ground, David's head smashed on the cement floor. Sally tripped over his body and hit June in the back. June's necklace flew up and her pendant poked her partner Sam in the eye and became snagged on his eyebrow ring. When Sam reached up in pain, it tugged June forward. She bent forward and Sam flipped over her back, landing on Sally and David, who screamed in pain. Their Sensei, William, came running. Because by now there was blood on the floor, he slid into the group, his tongue stud becoming caught in Catherine's watch. Catherine had come to help too. As she tried and tried to pull her watch off her Sensei's tongue stud, her belt flipped up. A medal on her belt (earned at a recent tournament) popped loose and the sharp pin beneath it poked her Sensei on the nose. Just then, Bob showed up and started trying to help people up. Because everyone's jewelry was tangled, they yelled in pain. Sally pushed Bob to try to stop him from lifting her up. She hit him with such force that his heavy black ear gauges flew out, right into Sally's mouth. She instantly started choking.
Finally, the twisted mass of injured, bleeding, snagged, and poked Karate students got to their feet, but fell out a window right into a volcano (because they were here in Hawaii).
The moral of the story is... if you wear jewelry when you practice Karate you will fall into a volcano.
