Does Curbing Tobacco Use Lower Health Care Costs?
August 13, 2012 | Issue Brief
Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, and is responsible for $200 billion annually in health care costs and lost productivity.
Although tobacco use has decreased, it is the leading cause of death in the United States. Implementing a combination of policy changes including clean indoor air laws, higher per-pack taxes, and cessation efforts are proven to reduce tobacco use and exposure to secondhand smoke.

I loved the ATR, but never thought about getting a serrated edge one, til I scored one on ebay. How's the cutting characteristics? Also, how do I sharpen it with a DMT serration sharpener? (what angle and grit?)
I loved the ATR, but never thought about getting a serrated edge one, til I scored one on ebay. How's the cutting characteristics? Also, how do I sharpen it with a DMT serration sharpener? (what angle and grit?)
The only serrated ATR I have is the Ti one.
Because of the rather round serrations it cuts almost like a plain edge; very smooth.
I like those pointier serrations better though
Arend(old school Spydie lover)
....AND A FG(PARA) MILITARY/SE IN CPMD2(thanx Sal)
...I would love to have one in full SpyderEdge
Thanks for making me the Avatar, Dialex
How do I sharpen it with a DMT stick, though? Thanks
I use a Sharpmaker on my SE knives. It does a great job of doing a quick uniform sharpening job on most SE knives.
I find the Titanium model to be head and shoulders over the stainless version. As far as serrated versus plain edge>> well that just depends on what you are cutting. I find viable uses for both edges. The Titanium model would serve so well around any marine conditions>> OK I know that could be said about stainless as well but I do believe that Titanium has even better corrosion resistance than stainless does.
Serrated blades obviously take on fibrous materials such as rope, leather, twine, carpet and just about any textile material way better than a plain edge does. But it's like Mr. Glesser points out in the Spyderco STory Book>> serrated edges cut and plain edges slice.
Long Live the SPYDEREDGE Spyderco Hawkbills RULE!!
Well, I have loads of plain edges, this is my first full serrated spyderco
My SS SE ATR has the longest and deepest most aggressive serrations of any Spyder I own. For hard use cutting the ATR SE in stainless handles is the way to go. For plain edge I'd try to find a Ti one but i love s30v's plain edge.
More of what does not work will not work. Robin Cooper, Rokudan; Aikikai.
There is great power in the profound observation of the obvious. John Stone, Rokudan; Aikikai
I just got this one in the mail friday. This knife is smooth as silk and look at the teeth on this monster.

The perfect date begins with making the right first impression, and that's usually set by what you wear and how you wear it. If you want a guaranteed eye catching piece of fashion, a hot pair of ankle boots are just the thing to wear. Below are some of the best boot choices that are date ready and fashionably approved.
For a look that's eye catching and fierce, choose a pair of suede ankle boots in one of this season's boldest shades. Steve Madden's Cuddless feature a back-zip closure and come in four great colors, including fuchsia and blue. If your feeling extra brave, choose a pair like, DSQUARED2's Ankle Boot featuring a Leopard print leather upper. Wearing boots in big bright colors can be a reflection of your own personality, which shows you are fun, edgy and maybe a bit daring.
Alexander McQueen 's red ankle boots are just the thing to wear if you're looking to steal the nighttime crowd's attention. The double buckle closure combined with the set-back stiletto heel is enough to have stares locked down to your feet all night. Giuseppe Zanotti also features a snake embossed leather ankle boot with a harness strap detail. These wild styles show a fearless fashion sense that proves you're a risk taker and really not afraid to try anything new.
If you're just looking for some good clean fun, try DSQUARED2's Open Toe Pump Frou Camoscio . It's ruffled fabric and feminine bow accent might mistake him to think you're a "Goody Two-Shoes" but it's provocative peep toe and croc leather print could have him realize you often tend to walk on the wild side.
There is a lot that can be said about a woman's personality by the shoes she wears so make sure when choosing "date night" shoes, you pick a pair that fits your personality just as much as your style.

Well as stated in my point before that it's hard to understand what you're saying through that encrypted jibberish you type loaded with grammatical fun such as double negatives, and run ons - it should come to no surprise that one can interpret your 'voice' in a million different ways for no other reason than a horrible use of the written word.
And, yes, black, white hats is dead on assuming you literally meant some hackers are good as in they fix, and some are bad because they break. I don't know what sort of metaphorical play on words you could of done with that? Also, your rational logically made amarriner a loser by your subjective logic, not me. "If amarriner=modder, amarriner=genius, if modders for own benefits=loser then amarriner=loser??" You just said it more elusively and tried to cover it up is all, or was it another horrible broken attempt to say something else, or were you not talking in the literal sense? Can you please specify when you're speaking metaphorically, or literally to me directly with each point, idea you try to put out?
Eliwood_Hector wrote:are full of emotional(rage,revolt) arguments that says bullshit,with no reason.
Rage, revolt, lol? You're the one throwing insults at people simply because you disargee, and pretty much everything you've typed up so far on this forum has been some hate/love relationship with hackers. And how can you even say I have no reason when you stopped after the second point which didn't even go into any detail?
I simply like arguing with morons(you=moron in the literal sense), because it's a lot more fun, and exciting than say some logical walking switzerland..

Open Access
The content that follows was originally published on the Institute for Local Self-Reliance website at http://www.ilsr.org/open-access/The Internet as we know it developed within a framework of "open access" or "common carriage." That is, people could choose their own Internet service provider (ISP), view any web site, and transmit any information they desired. The phone company owned the phone lines but had to offer wholesale access to competitors.
Open access did not happen by chance, but rather by regulation. Many years ago, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) required that, for a reasonable fee, local phone companies allow their wires to be used by competing ISPs. Continue reading

Substitute band teacher accused of sex with student, exchanging explicit messages
A 29-year-old substitute band teacher in Sterling Heights and Warren high schools has been accused of illegally having sex with one female student and electronically exchanging sexual images with her and two other female students.
Christopher Michael Skebo of Sterling Heights, who was dismissed from his teaching posts, was formally charged Friday afternoon in two courts, 41A District Court in Sterling Heights and 37th District Court in Warren.
Skebo allegedly had sex with a 17-year-old student at his home Feb. 4 and exchanged explicit photographs and video with the students, a 17-year-old and a 16-year-old, from early January to early February, according to police. The case started when police learned of his alleged texts from a smartphone to a 17-year-old girl at Warren Woods Tower High School, where Skebo taught.
"He was sending inappropriate text messages -- photos, video -- to this young lady (in Warren)," said Detective Sgt. Stephen Mills of Warren police. "She expressed her reservations to a friend about the text messages, and the friend alerted school authorities who alerted authorities."
Once Utica Community Schools learned of the accusations against Skebo in Warren, they banned him from teaching at any school in the district, said Timothy McAvoy, UCS spokesman. UCS officials discovered from questioning students that he was involved with two Stephenson High School students, officials said.
"They talked with students who they knew were friendly with him or close to him," said Lt. Luke Riley of Sterling Heights police.
District officials on Friday sent a letter to parents district-wide informing them of the allegations and Skebo's status.
UCS and many other school districts contract with Professional Educational Services Group, a national company, for its substitute teachers. A Michigan office of PESG released a statement Friday that Skebo was "promptly placed on leave" upon learning of the investigation.
Skebo's attorney, Richard Marcil, said his client denies any criminal behavior and said he will vigorously contest the allegations; two of the girls represented to Skebo that they were over 18, Marcil said.
"We're going to fight these charges, especially the ones in Warren because we don't believe they will stand up to scrutiny," he said. "He's not the monster they're making him out to be." Continued...
He said Skebo, who resided with his parents and brother, is a highly talented musician.
Skebo was charged in Sterling Heights with one count of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, one count of child sexually abusive activity, two counts of using a computer to commit a crime and two counts of tampering with evidence. A preliminary examination is set for March 14 in front of Judge Kimberly Wiegand.
The evidence-tampering charges are related to Skebo allegedly trying to erase or telling his accusers to erase text messages, Riley said.
In Warren, he faces charges of one count of child sexually abusive activity, using a computer to commit a crime and gross indecency between a male and female. He faces a March 15 preliminary examination in front of Judge Jennifer Faunce.
The most serious offenses are punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
He remains held on a $150,000 cash or surety bond in Warren and a $50,000 cash or surety bond in Sterling Heights.
Skebo was in his second year of substitute teaching in UCS, which noted that Skebo underwent a background check that showed no criminal history.

Israel's operation in Gaza is meant to compel Hamas to stop shooting rockets into Israel and to better police its territory. But with Hamas unable to bend to Israeli pressure, and Israel unable to escalate or back off, it will be up to outside states to end the fighting.
DANIEL BYMAN is a professor in the Security Studies Program in the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and the research director of the Saban Center at Brookings. He is the author of A High Price: The Triumph and Failures of Israeli Counterterrorism.
Hamas is central to Israeli security and Palestinian politics, yet the international community refuses to work with it. This is a mistake -- Israel, the United States, and others should exploit Hamas' vulnerabilities with a mix of coercion and concessions.
Two factors pushed Hamas to ramp up its bombing campaign: belief that its strategic environment had improved in the wake of the Arab Spring and competition from Salafi groups.
With Israel and Hamas once again locked in a shooting war, it's time to think about what a more sustainable ceasefire might look like.
The latest round of fighting in Gaza gave Hamas room to paper over growing rifts between its Gaza-based leadership and its leadership in exile. But eventually the group will need to resolve internal disputes over working with Iran, working with Arab capitals, and negotiating with Israel -- or face decline.

Israel's latest campaign in Gaza, which began on Wednesday with the killing of Hamas' military commander, Ahmed Jabari, and air strikes on the group's long-range rocket launchers, is a gamble -- and one that Israel might lose. Its goal is to compel Hamas to stop shooting rockets into Israel from the Gaza Strip and to crack down on other groups who are also doing so. Hamas, however, will find it hard to bend to Israeli pressure. In turn, it will be up to outside states, particularly Egypt, to foster a deal to end the fighting.
After Operation Cast Lead, the Israeli incursion into Gaza in 2008-2009 that resulted in over 1,000 Palestinian deaths and tremendous destruction, relations between Hamas and Israel wavered uneasily between hostility and tacit cooperation. True, Hamas' rhetoric toward Israel remained hostile, but the number of rockets that went over the border plunged and most of them were launched not by Hamas, but by more radical groups such as Palestinian Islamic Jihad. Hamas feared that launching large numbers of rockets would prompt Israel to again retaliate harshly and devastate Gaza, thus jeopardizing Hamas' political position there. At times, the group even tried to restrain its uncomfortable bedfellows. Indeed, although Hamas and Israel would both deny it, their interests were often aligned. As Aluf Benn, one of Israel's leading analysts, put it after Jabari's death, "Ahmed Jabari was a subcontractor, in charge of maintaining Israel's security in Gaza."
One of the tactics Israel has used in responding to terrorism has been to seek out and kill individual enemies. Now Washington has started doing the same. The United States and Israel face different circumstances, however, and so the Bush administration should think twice before proceeding.
The recent fighting in Lebanon may have looked like yet another Arab-Israeli battle, but it also pitted Jerusalem against Tehran for the first time. Why did Israel strike when it did? What did it accomplish? And what should it do now to prepare for the next showdown with Iran?
Damascus did not commission Hezbollah's raid into Israel, but it did see the ensuing crisis as a chance to prove its importance. Western powers should realize that Syria is ready to be part of a regional solution -- as long as its own interests are recognized.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SkeeterZX200 Great Attachment
I purchased this foot switch AFTER I had purchased the #8 grinder and processed all my deer meat, while filling the poly bags and having to turn the grinder off by hand every time I seen where this could be a very usefully attachment. After getting the foot switch like any kid with a new toy I had to try it out even though I did not have any meat to grind or bag, I can see where this will be a time saver and no more having to turn the grinder off and on by hand using the switch on the grinder. Chalk this one up to lesson learned.

Rated 5 out of 5 by HuntingVa LEM Foot Switch
I've been grinding my own for over 20 years..... Why I never invested in one of these escapes me. It will work on all 120 Volt grinders and is a great addition, esp. if you are a sausage maker. I used it for the first time today to process a deer and it was nice not to have to listen to a constantly running grinder or have to constantly switch the machine on/off by hand each time a casing was filled.

Rated 5 out of 5 by TnDave A Must Have
This product works as advertised. It is very well made and reasonable priced. It gives you an extra hand when using your grinder. It also keeps your messy hands off of the power switch on the grinder.
Just plug the grinder into the plug on the foot switch. It dosen'st get much easier. Well done Lem!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Meatman Only way to go
This is one the best things you need for your grinder. You can do everything by yourself. Works great if you make your own sausage. Sometimes the casings come off fast or slow and with the foot control, you have your hands free to handle the casings.

RALEIGH, N.C. — A possum drop that attracts thousands of people to a tiny town in western North Carolina each New Year's Eve may have had its last hurrah after a judge ruled Tuesday that a state agency didn't have the authority to issue a permit for the event.
"Citizens are prohibited from capturing and using wild animals for pets or amusement," Judge Fred Morrison wrote in his ruling. "Hunters must afford wild animals the same right Patrick Henry yearned for: 'Give me liberty, or give me death!"
The ruling would end a 19-year tradition of suspending a possum in see-through box covered with holiday tinsel and lowering it to the ground at midnight. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals had sued the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, which issues the permit for the event, saying it's illegal and cruel.
The commission has 30 days to appeal Morrison's decision to Superior Court. A spokesman said the agency will decide whether to appeal after reviewing the 18-page ruling.
Clay Logan, who owns Logan Corner store, manages the event, which attracts 2,000 to 3,000 people annually to the tiny hamlet. The commission "had no authority to issue any permit to Logan for the unlawful public display of a native wild animal" at the drop, Morrison wrote.
Logan said the possum drop will continue in some form, although he won't break the law. This challenge by PETA marks at least the third time that someone has challenged the drop, he said.
"I figured sooner or later they'd get somebody to rule on their side," he said. "It's like a football game. If you play somebody long enough, you're going to beat them eventually."
He started the drop 21 years ago, but only family and friends from the store attended the first two events. He said he got the idea after someone suggested that since the possum is Brasstown's mascot of sorts, the town should have a live animal drop similar to the dropping of the ball in Times Square.
"This thing is more of an opinion than anything," he said. "If's harming the possum in any way, it's just an opinion. Evidently, they got a judge that had the same opinion they did."
Logan didn't meet the requirements for a captivity license or permit so the commission circumvented its duty and invented a new permit called a "temporary possession and release permit," the judge said. Continued...
Morrison wrote that although the commission claims to have issued such permits in the past, it produced no evidence to prove that it had. The temporary permit allowed Logan to keep the possum for several weeks and to exhibit the animal before it was release.
Logan's sportsman license only allowed him to take the animal, not possess and exhibit it, Morrison wrote. He was in possession of a wild-captured animal from at least Dec. 15, 2011, through Jan. 1, 2012, Morrison said.
PETA was pleased with the ruling. "Compassionate citizens can now look forward to a kinder celebration at Clay's Corner this New Year's Eve," PETA spokesman David Perle said in an email.

Livio FellugaNewsLIVIO FELLUGA PICOLIT 2004 "TOP SCORE" FOR WINE ENTHUSIASTThe famous WINE ENTHUSIAST magazine gave Livio Felluga Picolit Riserva
2004 95 points and mentioned it in a special selection of dessert wines
for "discerning palates".
It called Picolit "...Italy's most precious and unique dessert wine", and made the following comment about the Livio Felluga Picolit 2004: "... This is an intriguing, absolutely fabulous dessert wine. The aromas are complex, intense and balanced on a tightrope: mature peach, honey, wet stone, peppermint and delicate mineral nuances. This version is a masterpiece that ends with a fresh, mentholdriven finish and a crisp close. Pair this elegant sweet wine with foie gras". Monica Larner, WINE ENTHUSIAST, December 2007 |

Circa 1990. 13" tall very soft plush and cute Lion King when he is still a cub.
Animated, his head moves as he is untying the ribbon of his gift box.
He needs 2 x CC batteries. The switch is under his left paw.
Sorry no box for him but since he was kept well wrapped and protected, he is as clean as new for being almost 15 years old.
Great for any Disney collector.

Global Food Security in the 21st Century: The increasing need for food production, cropland areas and agricultural water
A free public lecture by USGS Research Geographer Prasad Thenkabail
Worldwide demand for food will require more than 1 billion hectares of new cropland to feed 9 billion-plus people by 2050. Presently, of all the water used by humans, more than 70 percent goes toward agriculture to produce food in most countries. Remote-sensing from space will provide crucial data for policy development affecting croplands and their water use. Social scientists recognize global food security as a primary requirement for human advancement, overall health, and peaceful coexistence.
Prasad's lecture will also be webstreamed live. See http://online.wr.usgs.gov/calendar/ for details.

cRush wrote:I think we need some episodes that tie in recent scientific findings, such as missions to Mars. For example, there is overwhelming evidence that liquid water used to cover the surface of mars billions of years in the past. Also, the presence of certain elements in the soil make a strong evidence that plant life once existed.
A couple of hypotheses that could arise from these observations include
- Mars is actually the planet known as Nibiru. Due to it's highly eccentric orbit the last time it came abaurdely close to earth was 60000 years ago. Perhaps, it affected the Eart by coming so close.
- Mars once shared an orbit with Earth billions of years ago, but slowly started to be pulled out by the gravity of outer planets. When it became too cold to sustain life, it's inhabitant fled to explore Earth and other planets.
- The hypothesized planet which now is destroyed and comprising the asteroid belt was the homeworld of an advanced species who blew up their planet inadvertently. This caused Mars orbit to become more eccentric, destroying it's ecosystem while giving a boost to Earth's. The aliens then came to earth in an attempt to recolonize, but eventually, left because conditions were not right.
- The Annunnaki were originally from Mars, which is Nibiru, but died out as they were unable to stop the ecological changes that happened to Mars.
There is a wealth of conjecture that can be tied into Ancient Astronaut theory concerning Mars. I think it could easily serve as the foundation for a fascinating episode!

The U.S. Forest Service on Monday rescinded its proposed ban that was to be in effect during the season which begins Thursday, Dec. 6 and runs through Dec. 13.
The decision came prior to a hearing scheduled in federal district court on a Louisiana Sportsman Alliance suit seeking a preliminary injunction on the ban until a hearing could be held.
The USFS did not comment on its action.
The Alliance wants hunters to have the right to run their dogs and chase deer on the forest's thousands of acres as they have done for decades.

EASLEY—Easley Police are investigating the death of an 84-year old woman who died at a local nursing home June 30 from what could be heat-related causes, according to officials.
Pickens County Coroner Kandy Kelly said an unresponsive Eloise Arnold was transported from Majesty Health and Rehab to Baptist Easley Hospital where she was then pronounced dead.
An autopsy to confirm cause of death was conducted on Monday, and Kelly says the results should be in within 4-6 weeks. The Coroner's report also stated that Easley Police are investigating.
In a statement, Majesty officials said they could not comment on individual cases.
"Due to resident privacy laws Majesty cannot comment on any specific resident issues but will as always cooperate with all appropriate agencies regarding the safety of our residents," said Administrator Sandra Ferguson.
According to The Weather Channel, temperatures in Easley reached a high of 102 outside on Saturday. Ferguson, however, says the nursing home has tried to take all proper precautions during the recent heat wave.
"Majesty, like all skilled nursing homes in the United States affected by the current heat wave, is most concerned for its residents," stated Ferguson. "The Majesty facility has taken additional steps to ensure all of the residents here are properly hydrated and as cool as possible in this heat. There is AC available in the facility and we are doing everything possible to supplement the system during this heat wave. The facility will continue to do all that it can to ensure the residents are safe."

breaking news
August Congress adjourns to allow members to travel back to their home
districts and
meet with constituents about the issues facing the nation. I cannot
emphasize enough the importance of this time I have with you. I cannot
accurately represent Alabama's Second Congressional District without
hearing firsthand the concerns and priorities of
the people who live and work here.
spent the last month traveling throughout our district visiting with
constituents, touring
local businesses and speaking to various civic organizations. It's a big
district so we packed in a busy schedule, stopping through 11 counties
and holding six lively town hall meetings.
a month of traveling and listening, three primary concerns of yours are
clear: potentially devastating military budget cuts; the future of the
"Farm Bill" and its impact on Alabama agriculture; and job-killing
bureaucratic regulations that make a difficult economy even harder for
small businesses.
people throughout Alabama's Second Congressional District are
rightfully worried about
the cuts to our nation's military, known as sequestration. Under
sequestration, our military faces across-the-board cuts of more than
$500 billion over the next decade. These additional cuts that take
place the first of next year are on top of the $487 billion
in long-term military cuts already enacted into law. As a conservative,
I understand that we must cut spending in an effort to make our
military leaner and more efficient. However, fiscal responsibility does
not preclude making the investments necessary to
ensure a strong national defense. The sequestration cuts, which will
impact the vital missions of our district's military installations,
simply go too far.
a "Meet with Martha" event in Enterprise, military personnel stationed
at Fort Rucker
explained just how concerned they are about sequestration and how the
cuts would affect the future of the post. The House of Representatives
has acted to prevent sequestration by finding reasonable, balanced ways
to reduce military spending while preventing
the kind of drastic cuts that will harm our entire military.
Unfortunately, the Senate has not yet acted on our legislation. There is
still time, however, and I am returning to Washington more determined
than ever to pass our plan and protect our military personnel.
the current federal "Farm Bill," which establishes much of our nation's
policy, is set to expire later this month. Alabama's Second
Congressional District is one the major agriculture hubs in Alabama and
the Southeast. As a member of the House Committee on Agriculture, I
voted in favor of a Farm Bill that focuses our priorities
on protecting our farmers' interests and reducing spending to federal
food stamp programs. The bill isn't perfect, but it's a responsible bill
that reduces spending and reforms the nutrition title, all while
maintaining the safety net our farmers need.
and certainly not least, small business owners face tremendous
uncertainty in the worst
economic downturn since the Great Depression. During this district work
period I visited with many small business owners and toured a variety
of homegrown local businesses. No matter their particular type of
business, all business owners agreed that government
needs to get out of their way and stop hampering success.
a roundtable with the National Federation of Independent Businesses
(NFIB), small
business owners expressed their frustration with a White House that is
doing nothing to create an environment ripe for job creation and
seemingly doing its best to discourage success. Whether it is the record
number of costly regulations or the undue burden
imposed by Obamacare, small business owners are suffering from all the
Washington red tape. People who have built their businesses from the
ground up are rightfully frustrated by a White House intent on raising
taxes in these already difficult economic conditions.
taxes on job-creating small businesses will only inhibit hiring and
dampen opportunities
for growth. That's why I've opposed the Obama administration's efforts
to raise taxes, and I'll continue to oppose future tax hike attempts
when Congress comes back into session.
each of these issues, the people of the Second Congressional District
have spoken loud
and clear: we can't wait until after the election to act on these
critical matters. Rest assured that I will continue to fight for you
and make sure your voice is heard in Washington.
Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada is strategically delaying action
on the most
critical issues until after the election, or worse yet, until next year.
We cannot afford to wait. This current path is unsustainable.
"kicking the can down the road" might be politically expedient to some
in the short
term, inaction will lead to very real and dangerous consequences.
Leaders are sent to Washington for moments just like this to make tough
committed to our military families, our farmers, the small business
owners and all those
who reside in our district. Thank you for entrusting me with the
tremendous responsibility of representing you and fighting for you in
the United States Congress.
always, please contact me to let me know your concerns about any issue.
Should you ever
need assistance, I have staff both in Alabama and in Washington, D.C.
that are committed to helping you. We all work for you. Find our contact
information at www.roby.house.gov

Music Review: Kutless, "It Is Well"
When you think of worship artists, which come to mind? Chris Tomlin? Hillsong? Brenton Brown? Matt Redman? There are plenty of others, but one unlikely candidate is Kutless. Sure, the Seattle-based rock act released a worship album (Strong Tower) a few years back, but that was when most of CCM was caught up in the "worship music craze." But, after much prayer and consideration, the guys of Kutless have decided to put forth a second worship project, titled after the group's favorite hymn, It Is Well.
Similar to Strong Tower, It Is Well is a mix of covers and originals. The title-track opens with a traditional choir angelically singing the chorus of It Is Well. A dance/techno beat emerges in the mix before slamming into a wall of crunchy guitars. "Redeemer" is actually a medley of two Keith Green songs, a verse of "Oh Lord, You're Beautiful" and a verse and chorus of "There Is A Redeemer." The song starts out subdued but soon becomes faced with gutsy power chords, similar in execution to the title-track. "Hungry," "God of Wonders," and "Give Us Clean Hands" while solid tracks, leave a bit to be desired (although the "woahs" at the beginning of "Give Us Clean Hands" is a nice touch).
To keep this worship record from being all too familiar, Kutless offers some original worship songs. The album's lead single "What Faith Can Do" has already resonated with many around the country, at one point reaching number one on iTunes' top Christian songs. Stylistically, "Remember Me" probably wouldn't be out of place on a regular Kutless album. The track is noticeably darker from the rest, but worshipful nonetheless. Acoustic-driven "I'm Still Yours" brings the album to a close. Though it's one of the softest tracks, it's perhaps the most powerful song on It Is Well; Jon Micah sings, "Even if You take it all away, I know I'm still Yours." This powerful line ties back to the song "It Is Well" in that God will carry us through difficult times, we just have to trust in Him.
Overall, It Is Well is a solid, uplifting worship album. Kutless once again proves that worship can be rockin'.
