Senior Residents At Housing Complex Ready To Sue
By Rick Murphy

By Rick Murphy
A group of senior citizens who live in affordable apartments in Springs are preparing to sue officials over a mold problem they say is making them sick.
Windmill Village II, which is owned by an LLC run by a board of directors and under the auspices of the Town of East Hampton Office of Housing And Community Development, has been plagued with the problem for years. But while officials say it is confined to the basement and has been professionally cleared up, residents say cleanups have been ineffective and their health woes are mounting.
The Housing Office administers federal funds (housing and urban development subsidies) that are paid to Windmill to make the apartments affordable for almost all of the seniors who live in the 47 units, spread out over eight buildings.
Last week Eleanor Cobb, a former resident who moved out of her apartment after being warned by her doctors, hired Frank L. Pellegrini, a lawyer with the Manhattan-based firm Pellegrini & Associates, to represent her in an action she intends to file against everyone concerned. More tenants are meeting with Pellegrini this week. They say they have had enough.
"Tenants have a right, a warranty of inhabitability. If they are in danger, that is a breach, and it is a serious offense," Pellegrini said.
Cobb said that earlier this year she began feeling ill and noticed her hair falling out. "I went downstairs and saw the mold." On three occasions, eye doctors from Peconic Ophalmology warned her in writing to leave her apartment, number 33 in Building 15. Doctor Louis Pizzarello wrote, "She cannot enter her apartment" and stated it "is hazardous to her health."
On July 26, 2013 Kathleen M. Restivo, a Lake Success doctor wrote that Cobb had to be vacated from her apartment. "She is short of breath . . . she has a sore . . . she is recently losing her hair . . . the mold is being vented directly up under her air conditioner. It would be a shame to have her succumb to an environmental hazard."
The reason Cobb needed documentation is because all of the renters signed a lease stating that the apartments were their primary residences — if they left, not only would their federal assistance end, but they would not have their leases renewed. They were, in essence trapped in the mold-infected dwellings.
Though Cobb was allowed to move, Joan Holden, the tenant's representative, said many others should have been vacated at the time. East Hampton Town was about to open a brand new affordable senior citizen facility in Amagansett named St. Michael's, but filled it with new renters rather than invite Windmill II residents there. Holden maintained Windmill LLC, which also runs St. Michael's in Amagansett, didn't do so because they would were afraid they wouldn't be able to rent the Windmill units again given the mold problem.
Helen Miley, in Building 3, apartment 14, felt sick and rundown. "I'm always sick. I'm choking. I can't breath," she related. "I went into the city and it cleared up. I came back again and it started again."
Holden developed allergies, then arthritis and asthma.
Director of Town of East Hampton Office of Housing and Community Development Tom Ruhle acknowledged that there's been a recurring mold problem at Windmill II dating back for years, but says the Windmill board has worked diligently each time to address it, though in 2009 Ruhle's office withheld $150,000 in HUD funds from Windmill until the matter was adequately addressed Windmill said it spent $85,000 to eradicate the mold.
"I'd like to know where it went," said Richard Warmay, a sheet rocker by trade. "They have never supplied documentation of any kind."
"We brought in two mold specialists to give us their opinions. They claim that there is no indication that $85,000 worth of work was done on the basement. They then explained what needed to be done now, as well as what should have been done, but wasn't," Holden said.
Michael DiSario, the chairman of the Windmill II LLC board, said when the problem reared up again last summer Insight Environmental was hired to help to manage the cleanup and conduct testing. He said his board is determined to clean the problem up and make the tenants happy.
"Yes, there is a mold problem, but it is not the serious kind," Ruhle said. Water leaks had contaminated the sheetrock basement ceilings and caused mildew. To combat the problem, the residents were ordered to remove all their belongings from the basements. The affected sheet rock was then ripped down, and a solution of bleach and water sprayed. Ruhle and DiSario said the mold has not spread into the apartments, though there is visual evidence to refute that, at least in two apartments inspected by The Independent.
Miley, who lives in Building 3, apartment 14, stands ready with a half-gallon bottle of bleach. Every morning she wipes down the black-colored mold on her heat vents, and wipes up the mold seeping from beneath the floor trim. It is visible on the door. "It's all over." Miley said she was in good health when she moved into the complex. "Now I'm always sick. I can't breath. I wake up choking." Holden said she told the powers-that-be. "They didn't care. They did nothing."
Several residents hired Mildew Busters in Shelter Island to take samples from the basements last August. The results came back from Pro-Lab in Weston, Florida, and they were frightening.
"These numbers are off the charts," said Bill Smith, who runs Mildew Busters. In Holden's apartment, number 29, the counts of penicillium/Aspergillus spores were pegged at 720,800 per cubic meter. "These building are full of it, and these people are getting really sick," Smith said. "They are trapped. It's in the wiring, the heating system, the walls, everywhere," he guessed.
"These aren't the bad kinds of mold," Ruhle said. "They were caused by mildew. It's not Black Mold."
The tenants elected Holden to be the tenant representative, but said Windmill didn't recognize her standing and wanted to appoint a tenant's rep of their choosing.
Tom Horn, an East Hampton attorney, offered to help pro-bono. "The tenants can organize and choose anyone they want to represent them," he said. Horn said he felt the Windmill managers, "deliberately scared the tenants."
Though several said they were afraid of being evicted, Gerry Mooney, the co-manager of the facility, a paid position, said. "Only one tenant has been dispossess in 21 years. We're in the housing business."
DiSario said, "More than one person" wanted to be tenant rep and that although Holden wasn't allowed to speak at one meeting, she was given free rein at two others.
"We had two meetings where the tenants could speak about whatever they wanted," said Mooney. "There are a lot of strong personalities. We were trying to get the flavor of the whole." Ruhle said he "regretted' the way the Holden matter was handled.
DiSario said the board and staff are working aggressively to clean up the problem for good. He said water leaks contaminated some of the sheetrock on the basement ceiling, but that damaged parts have been removed. "When we take the sheetrock down there won't be any mold left."
Ruhle said the long-term goal is to put sprinkler systems in all the buildings. "The sprinklers will allow the basements to again be used for storage by the tenants of things like clothes, furniture and papers that are flammable."
Aspergillus and Penicillium are the same size and shape, so these are often reported as Penicillium/Aspergillus. High levels can cause lung infections in people with weakened immune systems and exacerbate a number of existing symptoms, though healthy individuals might not be adversely affected in the short term.
According to the American Thoracic Society Aspergillosis is an infection caused by Aspergillus and is now the leading cause of death due to invasive fungal infections in the United States among people with weakened immune systems.

Ruhle has no idea what he is talking about, or if he does he's lying. The black mold, which was only one of many that we found there is in fact Aspergillium/Pennicillium. However, they found at least 4 other types of mold in high concentrations. People in almost every apartment were sick from living in it.
To put it in perspective, mold can be detected at 40 parts per cubic centimeter, to have readings that exceed 720,000 is unheard of.
Thankfully The Independent has the backbone to cover this story which is going to cost the management, town, etc, countless hundreds of thousands, if not millions of dollars in lawsuits ....and .... all they had to do was properly clean it up.

Mold Contamination and Spreading
January 28, 2014 | 10:19 PM
He said water leaks contaminated some of the sheetrock on the basement ceiling, but that damaged parts have been removed. "When we take the sheetrock down there won't be any mold left."
Is this guy high???? It was not water leaks. It is humidity, very high humidity and nonwaterproofed walls. By disturbing the contaminated sheetrock with illegal alien workers they spread the mold spores even more and made the problem MUCH worse. These guys are all liars! They then sparyed bleach which doesn't kill mold and stunk up the apartments even worse.
They're all covering their a##* , but in the end with the test results that Mildew Busters has, the lawyers will pick these guys clean and the truth will come out.
Thank God for Mildew Busters is all I can say!!

But Ruhle says it isn't dangerous.....

Mold and the Elderly

Like corned rats Ruhle, DiSario and Mooney are following the politicians MO and trying to lie their way out of this. Its very simple Google the mold types and mold sicknesses and see what the truth is. The lawyers indeed will pick these 3 creeps bones clean, and all they had to do was the right thing from the beginning rather than trying to cover it up.
I wonder if these three would let their parents, children or themselves live in this complex.
They should all be fired for lying and their obvious incompetency, but then again the lawyers will finish them off anyway.
Local politics at its truest form!
Thank God for Mildew Busters and the residents speaking out.

I manage United Way of Southern Nevada's Young Philanthropists Society (YPS), a social movement of like-minded young professionals working together to create programs that improve the lives of children and families in our community. I joined VYP because of the many programs offered for members. The Biz 101 classes offer great professional development opportunities, while Fusion Mixers are a fun and easy way to meet and network with other young professionals. I also really enjoy attending the Big Wig Luncheons and learning from the experiences of influential local leaders.
Work/life balance doesn't exist to me. But there's something even better out there. Whatever you choose to call it (I like the term work/life integration for now), it's something you should be intentional about now to set yourself up for more success in the future. I think the most important reason we want to get great at integrating work and life is the larger goal that we end each day pleased with where and how we've spent our time. It's all eventually part of the legacy that we will leave behind.
I am a very active member of the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce and decided to get involved with VYP after hearing about how the program helps the young entrepreneur get his or her name out into the Las Vegas business community while having fun at the same time. VYP offers monthly fusion mixers at awesome venues all around Las Vegas, Big Wig Luncheons where we can interact and ask questions to big names in Las Vegas business, and a wide range of community service to add to your professional resume.
Growing up, I would always look through real estate magazines and search for my dream home. I have been fortunate enough to turn something I love to do into my profession. It is very rewarding helping someone buy their first home, their forever home, or even selling their home so that they can take the next step in their life. By being involved in VYP and VYP's Community Outreach Committee, it has allowed me to make valuable business connections and great friends while taking an active role in bettering our city.
As a third generation Las Vegan, I was always encouraged to take advantage of what the Las Vegas Metro Chamber of Commerce has to offer. A year after graduating from University of Colorado Boulder, I moved back to Las Vegas knowing little about the social business scene, especially for young professionals. Attending VYP events has been a tremendous benefit to broadening my business network and developing greater networking skills in general. In just a year of taking part in the Chamber's social events my business connections- and friendships of course- have grown tremendously.
Vegas Young Professionals is a great organization in which to get involved. I originally joined to network and market my portrait photography business, Kristina Alexis Photography. Along the way, I've met some truly motivated individuals who are either in the same place I am or not too much farther along in their careers. Surrounding yourself with like-minded people, who are relatively around our own age, encourages everyone to strive for their career goals or growing businesses without being intimidated. Building this network becomes helpful for myself and for others around me.
I love #DTLV! A native Washingtonian, I moved to Las Vegas in 2013 to join a team of people chasing a crazy dream. Now I get to be one of the pastors at Sought Church, a church startup meeting Sundays at 10:00 a.m. in Art Square Theatre. I love our community and the incredible, life-changing conversations we have week after week! As part of this adventure, I joined VYP Toastmasters soon after coming to Las Vegas. I'm currently the president and amazed at the explosive growth of our club and the talent and skills we get to see displayed at every meeting.
Daniel has a passion for helping people. At the age of eight, his family deemed him, "Dan Dan The Safety Man" because he was first to remind everyone to put on their seat belts when entering a vehicle. After working in the financial sector for nearly five years, Daniel pursued a career as an insurance broker. He currently works at Distinctive Insurance as a property and casualty insurance broker, where he helps general contractors and small businesses manage their risk.
Lea attended her first VYP Fusion Mixer in May 2014, looking for a way to network and make new friends who were also young professionals. Fast-forward to today: she has made many connections, fostered friendships and is an active and long-term member of VYP's Community Outreach Committee. With a passion for volunteering, Lea loves being able to find and plan volunteer opportunities with and for her peers on a monthly basis. When she isn't giving back or working, Lea enjoys fashion, photography, exploring museums, traveling and a good glass of Cabernet.

AT&T Introduces New 30-50 GB Mobile Shared Data Plans
On Monday, AT&T announced a massive new shared data plan option for its customers. The company announced the availability of three new shared data plans for businesses ranging from 30-50GB. The new plans also include unlimited texting and calls and begin for as low as $300.
The new plans make it even easier and more affordable to work or play on the go, whether that be taking mobile payments, controlling inventory, downloading videos, managing fleets, or navigating unfamiliar streets.
The new plans are ideal for businesses, as well as consumers who need more data, and build on AT&T's existing Mobile Share plans with expanded options of 30 GB, 40 GB and 50 GB, including unlimited calls and texts.
For regular customers, AT&T limits the new plans to 10 devices, however businesses are allowed to add more devices for more money, respectively. The business plans are as follows: 15 devices for 30GB plans, 20 devices for 40GB plans, and 25 devices for 50GB plans. A 50GB plan with 10 devices would cost $800 per month/ 25 devices would cost $1250 per month. Previously, AT&T's plans maxed out at 20GB of data for $200 per month.
AT&T will also offer users the option to add iPads and other devices for an additional cost of $30 per device. The Mobile share data-only plans for iPad and laptops are now available from 4GB-50GB for $30 to $335 per month as well as Business Pooled Nation for Data.
Businesses that will need more than 25 devices will be able to purchase data options ranging from 300MB to 10GB. With all of these new plans, companies will now be able to provide their employees with better iPhone plans and will also be able to add more users to each plan as well.

OK, I get it. The governor of Colorado, Bill Ritter, is a big cyclist. So he takes a spill and breaks a few ribs, and like all of us who have been there, he wants to put a positive spin on things.
Yes he was wearing a helmet. Yes Lance the Man Himself tweeted the guv to get well soon.
But you can carry things a bit too far.
"He is joking and laughing," spokesman Evan Dreyer said, according to the Denver Post.
Really? Laughing it up? On broken ribs?
Anyone who has had the distinct misfortune of breaking, or even bruising, just one rib, let alone a whole rack of 'em, knows the piercing, the excruciating, the feel like I'm fixin' to DIE pain that encases one's entire body like King Kong squishing a grape when even the tiniest little chuckle begins to form somewhere in the depths of one's diaphragm.
I suppose it's possible that ill Bill is so doped up on pain killers he can actually … well, laugh still seems like too strong a word. Or maybe they've got him under nitrous oxide and he really can't help himself. Perhaps, too, he's so giddy over the fact he's still alive despite the crash that he's just on some kind of silly self-flagellational high. Maybe when he laughs, it's like Hannibal the Cannibal in "Silence of the Lambs." It's a quiet little stone-faced, motionless kind of laugh.
But we doubt all of the above. We think the gov's aide is just winging it to let the breathless electorate know Ritter's no quitter, and he'll fight through any adversity to serve his adoring public.
Still, if we'd been interviewing the good Mr. Dreyer and he fed us that line, we would've sought a bit of clarification, if only out of respect to the many Americans who have suffered rib injuries in their sorry existences. We wish Gov. Ritter the best, but we won't be telling him any knee-slappers any time soon.

Hi, I am Thothifex, an Atheist. I am busily putting together a new organization to collaborate with CFI San Francisco. I would like to join the existing CFI SF group at activities like SkeptiCal, SF Atheist Film Festival, RAM whenever they run their next event/prank/protest etc.
I want to move the site of the A+ meetings from Bay city to city to build the foundation Bay Area wide for CFI (and American Atheists to a lesser extent.)
Beyond my philosophical leanings, I like meet and greets at much as the next guy, and hang in Berkeley too much for a person who lives in SSF.
Please contact me if any of this strikes your fancy.
Our first 'meeting' if you want to use that word, will be at an Atheism and Sexuality event in SF on November 17th. More details will be posted, I'll be speaking there with Greta Christina and others much more notable than my mumblings. Regards!

Finding somewhere to stay in Zurich can be a headache. There are some superb luxury hotels, but with the Swiss franc so strong against our puny pound, you'll need deep pockets to enjoy them. There are some decent pensions, but they can be a bit spartan unless you just need a place to crash. In the bland corporate hotels, you could be anywhere.

White House Statement on Aid to the Nicaraguan Democratic Resistance
President today submitted a request to the Congress pursuant to section 111 of
the fiscal year 1988 continuing resolution (P.L. 100 - 202) for $36.25 million
of additional aid for the Nicaraguan democratic resistance (NDR) to sustain the
resistance. The request ensures that the resistance can continue the pressure
on the Sandinista regime to comply with its obligations under the
All funds under the request are derived by transfer from existing defense appropriations. Ninety percent of the funds requested provides nonlethal aid, such as food, clothing, medicines, and the means to deliver it. Ten percent provides for REDEYE air defense missiles, for use against the Sandinistas' Soviet-made Hind helicopter gunships, and ammunition.
The request prohibits the purchase of aircraft to transport aid to the resistance, but permits leasing aircraft. To ensure the availability of leased aircraft, the request authorizes the President to transfer not more than $20 million from defense appropriations to indemnify the owners of leased aircraft in the event of loss, but which will otherwise not be spent. The request also provides for electronic equipment, radar, and other passive air defense equipment to protect the safety of transportation.
request supports the Central American peace process by providing a clear
opportunity for the Sandinista regime to comply with its obligation to
establish democracy and to negotiate a cease-fire directly with the resistance.
The request prohibits delivery of all lethal aid after
The Congress will consider a joint resolution to approve the President's request under expedited procedures that provide for a vote in the House of Representatives on February 3 and a vote in the Senate on February 4.

Taking Homeland Security Seriously
The new May-June edition of Foreign Affairs includes a piece by Steve Flynn. If anyone can claim credit for "resilience" becoming an object of strategy, the former (always?) Coastie and current President of the Center for National Policy is the guy.
In a journal dominated by pieces on the New Arab Revolt, Dr. Flynn's piece is modestly titled: Recalibrating Homeland Security. The subtitle suggests an idee fixe which I probably share: "Mobilizing American society to prepare for disaster."
The first sentence grabs the reader's attention, "The United States has made a mess of homeland security." That is a critique of US society as much as the US government.
Flynn does not mention PPD-8, but I have to believe he saw a preview copy. The closing section of the essay — The Way Forward — is entirely consistent with the recent directive, highlighting three "tiers" of resilience: Individual, Community, and Commercial.
He also warns that in regard to resilience, "… neither the federal bureaucracy nor the general public appears to be paying much attention."
You need to be a subscriber to read the piece online. You can buy a copy at your news stand now.

I'm lazy. Juicing, to me, sounded like a major hassle: washing vegetables, chopping them up, feeding them piece by piece into the juicer, and cleaning the juicer. Doing it multiple times a day sounded awful.
I did buy a juicer when I began my recovery period, after traditional treatment (surgery and radiation) ended. It was a Champion juicer, and I fully endorse it. It's an awesome juicer.
But I'm lazy. I didn't like the juicing process.
Profit Calculations
I did some quick calculations in my head. Organic health food stores near me would juice fresh vegetables on-the-spot for approximately $5 to $6 per 12 ounces. On the diet prescribed by my doctor, I was supposed to drink 24 ounces of juice per day.
Buying the vegetables and then juicing them myself would cost less than simply buying juice in the store — but not that much less.
Based on the prices at the store, I calculated I'd save about $1 to $2 per juice by buying vegetables and juicing them. But I'd also spend at least 20 minutes, twice a day, on food preparation and juicer cleanup.
It was a no-brainer. I bought the juice.
The Routine
Every day, for years, I bought two juices from organic health food stores scattered around NYC. Sometimes beet-carrot-ginger, sometimes beet-carrot-celery, sometimes green juice with a beet added, sometimes celery juice for a little bit of a change. It was all organic, freshly made and not that expensive. It was part of my routine, something I'd do while walking between meetings or home from the subway.
(Note: This was before the huge popularity of cold-pressed, bottled juice that's shipped from a processing plant and stored in a refrigerator case. That type of juice often costs $8 or more. Now several of the organic stores where I bought juice have gone out of business — this makes me sad.)
I still buy fresh-made juice whenever possible (though with traveling, it's harder to do it every day). If I can't get fresh-made juice, I'll buy bottled juice, but I prefer the taste of fresh-made juice. Occasionally, I break out the Champion juicer, but it's a rare event.
Defeating Guilt
At first, I felt guilty about buying all my juice instead of making it — like I was not a "real" juicing superstar, or not really committed to my health.
Then I realized IT DOESN'T MATTER.
What the heck is a juicing superstar anyway? I got well buying juice at the health food store, and that's as legitimate as getting well by juicing at home.
I did what worked for me and my lifestyle, and that's my philosophy: Do what works for you. It doesn't matter how you do it — just DO it. Get it done and move on and kick ass.

No matter what their situation, no matter what the objectives of their organization, every working day is a constant ongoing flow of information for health/fitness professionals. Unfortunately, too many individuals focus on "communication" as essentially a by-product of a person's ability to speak or write. In the process, they overlook or downplay the single most important aspect of effective communication — the ability to listen. PERSONAL PRIORITIES. Make a decision to want to listen. Effective listening requires both a willing mind and a concerted effort. Good listeners make up their minds that the ability to listen is a learned skill that requires considerable personal commitment to develop. Although they may be aware of the traditional doctrine that "everybody wants to talk, few want to think, and nobody wants to listen," they recognize the inherent value of listening and work at it. COMMON CAUSE. Realize that listening is not waiting a turn to talk. It is important to understand that the absence of talking is not the same as listening. Furthermore, listening is not a competitive exercise in which the first person to take a breath is declared the listener. Rather, listening is both an art and a skill. As an art, it involves obtaining meaning from a situation (e.g., spoken words and nonverbal elements). As a skill, it entails being able to separate fact from statement, innuendo, and accusation. PLAN AHEAD. Don't allow external factors to disrupt the listening process. Disruptive distractions (e.g., noise in the office, telephone calls, etc.) can create an environment that impedes a person's ability to listen effectively. Good listeners plan ahead. For example, they try to find a place where every individual involved in the exchange of information can listen without distractions. INTERNAL AFFAIRS. Avoid letting internal distractions, such as the three Ps (preoccupation, pressure, and priority), obstruct the ability to listen. Although they're not always as easily managed as external distractions, they can be controlled to a certain extent. For example, if health/fitness professionals have something of higher priority, they should do it first and listen later. Furthermore, if they have specific times of the day that tend to be more pressure packed for them, communication situations where listening would be particularly critical should be scheduled around those times. REALLY, TRULY. Listen for what actually is said. In that regard, health/fitness professionals should not make an inviolate assumption about what the speaker is going to say. In addition, they should listen for the context of what is said. All factors considered, words do not mean much outside the context of a person's experience and situation. Furthermore, individuals also should listen for what is not said, which can be as revealing, and as important, as what actually is said. MORE THAN LEARNING. Focus their attention on the information, ideas, and insights being presented by the speaker. Health/fitness professionals should not sit back and be passive observers. Hearing is passive. Listening is continuously active. Listening is what individuals do with what they hear. BE PATIENT. Be aware of the fact that everyone can't (shouldn't) talk at the same time. Somebody must withhold his or her comments. On occasion, a person has to be the listener. When that occurs, individuals should not compromise their listening time by thinking about what they're going to say next. OPEN MIND. Recognize the need to be objective. Stereotypical thinking, negative attitudes, and personal bias can cloud the message received from a speaker. All factors considered, the greater the listener's level of objectivity, the better the level of receptivity and clarity to the messages received. CRITICAL LISTENING. Don't let the type of delivery (e.g., eloquent words, impressive training aids, etc.) override the ability to decipher the message effectively. Some individuals say nothing but with a style that obfuscates the true content of what they said. Other people say a lot but have a difficult time saying it. It is essential for health/fitness professionals to know the difference. © 2014 American College of Sports Medicine.

Former light heavyweight champion "Bad" Chad Dawson appeared on the most recent edition of "The Boxing Lab," which is BoxingScene.com's official audio show. Dawson faces WBC champion Bernard Hopkins on Saturday at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles in the main event of a pay-per-view card that is being distributed by HBO.
Dawson really opened up during the show and touched on a lot of topics. He said that he brought Winky Wright into his camp because of Wright's experience in facing Hopkins. Dawson also said that the reason why he brought John Scully back as his trainer is because of the success he enjoyed while being guided by Scully.
"We brought Winky on as an advisor. He has been in the ring with Bernard and knows all of his dirty tricks," stated Dawson.
The Connecticut native went on to say that he and former trainer Emanuel Steward are still on good terms.
"Manny Steward and I didn't have a bad break up. He is a great trainer and I appreciate everything he did for me but I want to be a different Chad Dawson so I felt that it was right to go back to John (Scully) because I have never not had success with him."
I asked Chad if the key to the fight will be maintaining a high workrate in order to make sure that he wins the majority of the rounds. Dawson agreed and also that he needs to make Hopkins look his age. Dawson isn't known for his knockout power but revealed that he does hope to be the first person to knock Hopkins out.
"Not only do I have to outwork Hopkins but I have to make him look 47-years-old. I am 29-years-old and I need to use my youth and make him look his age. I think I will have the opportunity to be the first person to stop Bernard. I have an opportunity to become a star and if I stop Bernard I will be one. I am focused on taking advantage of my opportunity," Dawson told The Boxing Lab.
Hopkins is known to fight in spurts. Hopkins has evolved his style and adapted it to his age. Dawson feels his team has the perfect game plan in place and that it will show on the scorecards.
"The one thing that keeps playing in my head is that I think Bernard Hopkins can not hold a candle to me. We plan on drowning him. We plan on winning every round convincingly."

text: Well, though, give the girl a break. She got herself up, obviously practiced like a trouper, showed up at this small rink (first time I've ever seen a fancam give us almost the entire routine in one piece--that must be a tiny rink), and did all her triples. She may not have the performance glitter aspect of it down pat yet, but she sure didn't stint on the athletics. I always found her a bit aloof from the audience anyway: I think that unlike Michelle or Kurt or Daisuke, she doesn't naturally radiate charisma at the audience. She probably has to work at it, and understandably she spent most of her training time working on things like the jumps. This foray into competitive skating should give her the confidence to gleam a little more in her next competition. You just watch. She will have us out of breath before long.

We're still trying to iron out the details so don't really have exact locations besides...

URGENT Tell Congress: Vote "No" on HR 1501! (Israel Lobby & Congress)
The objective of Israel's friends is to protect its government and defense forces from any accountability for the deaths of 1,400 Palestinians, most of whom were civilians and many of whom were children.
The strenuous efforts by the United States to shield Israel makes America complicit in a cover-up of war crimes—which is precisely how the rest of the world sees it.
Senate Resolution 138, which passed on April 14th, called on the United Nations to annul the Goldstone Report, demanded that the UN Human Rights Council actually be restructured so that it will stop criticizing Israel, and called on the White House to take the lead to "limit the damage that this libelous report has caused to our close ally Israel…"
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives is currently considering a bill, House Resolution 1501, "To withhold United Nations contributions to the United Nations until the United Nations formally retracts" the Goldstone report. As the committee is headed by Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, a passionate supporter of Israel, it is certain that the bill will go to the House for approval.
It's time to push back against the Israel lobby and prove to Congress and the media that there is another side to the story. Your Council for the National Interest is leading the way in this battle.
Background information on the issue can be found in the statement made by Goldstone's co-authors and in an article by CNI executive director Phil Giraldi. Also, a fact sheet with additional information on the Gaza invasion can be downloaded or ordered in bulk at If Americans Knew.
However one feels about the United Nations in general, it is difficult to understate the damage this bill will do to America's standing vis-à-vis a number of international bodies. There is no possible explanation for this legislation but to protect Israel from any legitimate criticism. As is frequently the case, the United States and its citizens will pay the price in terms of America's approval rating sinking even lower worldwide.
HR 1501 is another opportunity for CNI to educate and motivate Americans on the power of the Israel lobby. And frankly, it's another reason for you to show your support for our ongoing work—this current fight is only one we are fighting on many fronts. I hope you will be generous with a gift of $25, $50 or even $250.
Contact your Representative now and state your view that this bill does not benefit the United States and will, in fact, do terrible damage to our country's international standing. Sacrificing American interests for those of a foreign power—i.e., defending Israel from any disapproval—is not a principal enshrined in the US Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
Alison Weir, President
Council for the National Interest

Traveling in the rain can be a nerve-wracking experience without the right tires. A tire with superior wet weather traction can be a big safety benefit for drivers who need to travel at speed in wet conditions.
I often hear customers say, "It rains a lot where I live, so I need to have an all-season tire." While the name all-season implies that a tire might be the best tire for every season, the reality is that the compound and tread pattern of an all-season tire is actually a compromise between wet, dry and snow capability. Each of these conditions have different requirements, so an all-season tire actually gives away some wet and dry traction to gain light snow traction.
Summer tires are the ultimate wet weather performers. They have sticky compounds to grip wet pavement and tread patterns designed to let water flow through and away from the contact patch. The current class leaders in wet and overall traction are the Michelin Pilot Super Sport and Bridgestone Potenza S-04.
Two general notes about wet traction apply to pretty much any set of tires: Tread depth is essential to good wet weather performance. We have an entire tech article dedicated to illustrating how important adequate tread depth is when encountering wet conditions. Second, tire inflation is also a vital component to proper tire performance in wet weather and you can find in depth information as well as the meaning behind the image at the top left by reading "Air Pressure vs. Wet Performance."
If you live in a warm climate and need the best wet traction, definitely consider a summer tire. Regardless of where you are or what type of tire you have, if rain is in the forecast make sure that your tread depth and tire inflation are up to spec.

If you recently purchased a set of in-the-ear hearing aids, what should you do to properly clean them?

When you remove the hearing aids at night, the first thing you should do is carefully wipe them down with a dry soft cloth or tissue. Next, inspect the portion of the hearing aid that fits down into the ear canal. If you observe earwax accumulating at the end of the aid, you will need to remove this. Most manufacturers will provide you with a cleaning tool, which may be in the form of a brush, wire pick or combination of both. Finally, open the battery door and place the hearing aids in their case. Many hearing aids have an independent on/off switch. It is still advisable to open the battery door to allow air to enter the hearing aid and assist in reducing the effects of moisture that may accumulate when the hearing aids are in the ear canal. It also helps prolong battery life.

It is often best to remove the wax you noted at night in the morning before inserting your hearing aids because it allows earwax that has accumulated to dry overnight; drier wax is easier to remove. You will want to hold the hearing aid so the wax you are removing will fall OUT of the hearing aid and not further in (this often means holding it somewhat upside down). Using the brush provided for you, carefully brush around and in the plastic tubing to clear out the wax. Some patients find that using an old toothbrush is an effective method for wax removal. Many times using the wire pick may force the wax deeper into the channel.

If you have a behind-the-ear style hearing aid, is the cleaning procedure any different for this type of hearing aid?

The basic cleaning procedure is the same. The only real difference is that there is ear mold, which is often made of lucite or silicone. There are no electronics in this portion of the hearing aid so you may be a bit more aggressive in going after ear wax with your pick or brush. There are special sanitizer sprays made for hearing aid ear molds that your audiologist can direct you to if further cleaning is desired.

Please note this advice does not apply to RIC or RITE hearing aids as there are electronics in the ear mold portion. In this case, there is usually a removable wax guard to protect the electronics and your audiologist can show you how to change this as needed.

Is it advisable to use alcohol swabs or cleaning solvents on the hearing aid?

No, do not use solvents or alcohol on the hearing aids as there is a possibly that they can break down the hearing aid material. There are special sprays you can purchase that are designed specifically for the cleaning and disinfecting of hearing aids. Talk to your audiologist about these products.

What precautions can you take to ensure that my hearing aids will operate properly?

I usually describe this in my "List of Don'ts":

Don't allow the hearing aid to become wet. Avoid showering, bathing, or going into the swimming pool or sauna with the hearing aids in your ears.

Don't place the hearing aids in direct heat. It is tempting sometimes to place a damp hearing aid in the microwave or conventional oven. Unfortunately, the heat will damage the hearing aids in rather short order. To dry the hearing aid, simply open the battery door and allow it to dry out on its own or hold a hair dryer 18 to 24 inches from the hearing aid and direct warm air toward the aid for approximately 5-10 minutes. There are also special dehumidifiers or desiccants available that do a wonderful job in drying out the hearing aid. Talk to your audiologist about these items. Remember never store the hearing aids near direct sunlight or a heat source. Do not store them in your car during hot days.

Don't drop the hearing aid. If the hearing aid falls on a carpet, rug or upholstered furniture it usually will not cause the aid any harm. Hard floored surfaces or counter tops have the potential of damaging the hearing instruments. Many individuals will start with a pillow on their laps or a towel on the table or counter while they are learning to insert the hearing aids in their ears.

Don't use hair sprays, creams, or gels on your hair while wearing the hearing aids. These materials can clog the microphone and even begin to break down the plastic of the hearing aid case. Use your hair products first and then insert the hearing aids.

Don't store your hearing aids where young children or pets can reach them. Pets can destroy your investment in a matter of seconds. Young children like to experiment with hearing aids and can accidentally swallow the batteries. If hearing aid batteries are swallowed immediately notify the doctor and call the National Button Battery Hotline collect at (202) 625-3333.

How does earwax affect the performance of the hearing aid?

First, the wax can clog the microphone or receiver of the hearing aid and thereby block sound to the ear. This is easily remedied by following the procedures described above. A large accumulation of earwax can also cause the hearing aid to have feedback or whistling. This is because earwax can be a very dense material. The amplified signal from the hearing aid bounces off the wax and back to the hearing aid where it is re-amplified and causes the whistling. It's a little like throwing a rubber ball against a cement wall. If you are having unexplained feedback see your audiologist or physician. There may be earwax in the ear canal that needs to be removed.

Brady secret shame emerges in Welker tale
That was one of the printable reactions Patriots fans had when Wes Welker left town.
Now, thanks to Welker, we have some insight on how one can get Tom Brady to really run like hell.
And it has nothing to do with Ed Reed.
It has something to do with rats. No, we're not talking threats from Whitey Bulger to cover the spread and hit the over in week one against Buffalo.
The rodent-inspired motivation to move Brady was outlined in this week's Sports Illustrated piece on Wes Welker [you'll have to pay to read it just like I did].
After the much balleyhooed part about Welker's emotional dependency on Bill Belichick's approval, Chris Ballard's story offers a look at Welker's prank-filled side. When you come visit his house in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., you'd better be careful if his wife Anna asks you to grab something from the top shelf in the kitchen cabinet.
There, Welker hides a life-like-looking, large plastic rat, tied to the inside of the cabinet, ready to scare the hell out of anyone who opens its door.
It worked wonders on his former Patriots' teammates.
Apparently Rob Gronkowski's reaction was so hysterical and violent he had to apologize for his outburst.
But it was Brady, the story says, who reacted the worst/best.
"He just high-stepped it, just flew out the door," Welker told Ballard, "Fastest I ever saw him run."
"America's Alpha Dog" terrified of rodents.
There's no room for rats at One Patriot Place or Gillette Stadium. [As opposed to the old Boston Garden or certain alleys near Fenway Park.] Loyalty is one of those intangible values that seem to be attached to football. Given the team nature of the sport, it's not surprising. Loyalty is a very big deal in Foxborough - at least in one direction.
And it's not just the Kraft family or Belichick who demand it, even Adam Vinatieri was booed by the spurned masses.
The biggest Patriots news story on the week leading up to their first preseason game had to do with their former No. 1 go-to guy. This week's revelations about the imposing will of Belichick on Welker and the other players on the team is hardly a shock. But the fact that Welker spoke out about it, or in his case, admitted it, was shocking. Speaking out against the family, even after leaving the Patriots, is risky.
Perhaps the biggest rat in Patriots history, Eric Mangini, barely lived to tell about his disloyalty to Belichick given the multiple death stares he's received from Lord Vader over the years. The first time they shook hands after Mangini took over the Jets, Belichick looked like Paulie after Henry Hill pointed him out in court.
Mangini eventually voiced regret for his role in leaking the "SpyGate" affair because it alienated him from Belichick.
Welker has definitely not gotten over whatever slights, real or imagined, Belichick leveled at him.
He's in Denver now, but a large part of his heart and mind remains in New England.
Today's truism: "You can leave Boston, but Boston never leaves you."
Welker has learned that after just a few months away from his NFL home for six years.
In case you missed the full SI story, we also learned that Welker makes a mean egg sandwich and he and his wife "probably made a baby" during their recent trip to Belize.
The Patriots give birth to the preseason tonight against the Eagles. Welker will be gone but most definitely not forgotten, at least among folks watching tonight's game in their faded No. 83 jerseys.
Meanwhile, those No. 81 Patriots jerseys that haven't been shredded are either for sale on eBay or hanging in Roger Goodell's closet next to Ray Lewis' No. 52, Rae Carruth's No. 84, Javon Belcher's No. 59 and Josh Brent's No. 92.
The Patriots have weathered their offseason from "Heaven and Hell" and the alleged uncertainly surrounding the offense has generated more questions and as much interest than in year's past.
There's a legion of new receivers scurrying around like mice who will be trying to earn Brady's loyalty this season. Brady and Welker's on-field bond was unshakable. Welker was his go-to guy. This season, nothing is guaranteed with this corps of receivers. Despite his little scrap on Tuesday, the legendary Aaron Dobson has inspired breathless reports from both training camp and the scrimmages the Patriots and Eagles held this week.
Otherwise, things have been relatively quiet around the Patriots camp. We were given the gift of Aqib Talib gab, which Toucher and Rich of 98.5 The Sports Hub turned into an awesome mashup.
That's been about it for highs and lows. Barring injury, tonight's exhibition will offer glimpses of what might be but no real idea of what will be.
NFL preseason games are much like internet fame or rookie receivers: Good for about 15 minutes before eventually becoming uncomfortable to watch and a little stale.
So tune in early, and watch out for those nasty rats.
They can be anywhere.

Dominated by the gate-guarded Landings community, Skidaway Island is nestled near Chatham County's eastern flank.
But the naturally moated haven for upscale transplants from the North and Midwest isn't politically isolated.
A compilation by the Center for Responsive Politics reveals it's a major source for presidential campaign cash in Georgia.
The research group's data show that people who live in ZIP code 31411 — comprised by the island — have given nearly $46,000 to 2012 White House aspirants.
That's higher than any ZIP code in the Savannah area and the 31st highest out of nearly 1,100 in Georgia. And nationally, according to the Washington, D.C.-based center, it's about five times as much as the average for ZIP codes.
Meanwhile, people on Skidaway have donated tens of thousands of dollars since January 2011 to congressional candidates and committees.
That sort of giving by islanders is neither new or limited to federal-level races. State statistics show they gave almost $275,000 to state and local campaigns in 2011 and 2009.
Few observers of Georgia politics seem surprised.
Most cite the island's demographics.
"We have a lot going for us," said Jerry Loupee, a politically active Skidaway resident.
Some might consider that an understatement.
Census figures say the median home value on Skidaway is almost $500,000 and the median household income is nearly $100,000. About 70 percent of the residents have at least a bachelor's degree.
Of all those yardsticks, said Savannah business leader and major political fundraiser Steve Green, the one involving education may be the most important.
"By and large," Green said, "people who are well educated are more concerned about the role of government and tend to be more politically active."
But, when it comes to being active in bankrolling campaigns, Green and others acknowledge, it helps if people have — as many on Skidaway do — the means to do so.
Savannah political consultant David Simons noted that many islanders are retired corporate managers and executives.
"They understand the role that business plays in the community," Simons said. "It's not just politics. A lot of the same people contribute or help raise money for the arts, medical facilities and local charities."
Tom Oxnard, founder and leader of the island's Democratic club, agrees.
"Everyone here seems to be politically aware, and many are active in the community," Oxnard said.
But when it comes to political charity, the political parties aren't created equal in the eyes of Skidaway donors.
The center said about 85 percent of the island's presidential campaign money has gone to Republicans.
Island donors favorite candidate is former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who's received $17,200.
That, too, should come as little surprise.
In the March 6 GOP presidential primary in Georgia, Romney beat former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the runner-up on the island, by almost a 3 to 1 margin. Voters there provided the margin that made Chatham County one of only three counties Romney carried.
"He's got a lot of supporters out here," said Loupee, Romney's Chatham County chairman and a former Chatham County GOP chairman.
Romney campaigned on the island in 2008, Loupee said.
Others noted that the island's upscale, well-educated population profile resembles the core of Romney's national support base.
Former pizza magnate Herman Cain rounded up $10,750 on the island, enough to make it his 14th-best Georgia ZIP code.
Gingrich, statewide winner of the primary and also a former Georgia congressman, raised $6,500 on the island.
President Barack Obama, the only game in town for Democrats, raised $5,950 on Skidaway.
Texas GOP Congressman Ron Paul received $201, according to the center; other Republicans were shut out.
Now that Romney is the presumed GOP nominee, Loupee and Simons predict he will rake in Skidaway donations even faster.
Simons said big chunks of cash will flow to Romney's campaign and also to pro-Romney "super-PAC" groups. Unlike the campaign, they can accept unlimited amounts from individuals.
"Either way," Simons said, "you're going to see a lot more money coming out of here."
Of course, it's all relative.
Atlanta ZIP codes occupy nine of the top 10 spots on the center's compilation. Two in the city's posh Buckhead area rank first and second. A Duluth area is 10th.
Additional leading lodes of presidential electioneering largesse are in other Atlanta ZIP codes and ones in Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta and Decatur.
But even so, said Kennesaw State University political science professor Kerwin Swint, Skidaway still rates attention from those eager to shake the political money trees.
"It's a good hunting ground, especially for Republicans," Swint said. "Political fundraisers have a big bull's eye on that ZIP code."

Parador Celebrates Costa Rican Independence Day, 2013
Every year on September 14th, Costa Rican kids across the country light up the night with homemade lanterns to celebrate the eve of Independence Day. These lanterns symbolize the night the news of Independence from Spain reached Costa Rica via messengers who traveled throughout Central America carrying these faroles (small lanterns) to light their way.
This year on the 192nd anniversary of our independence from Spain, our F&B manager, Erick Quesada, helped our guests' children create their own colorful "Mother Nature" lanterns out of recyclable water bottles.
Thanks, everyone, you made it a very special evening!

A Tribute to 5 Pointz: The Graffiti Street Art Mecca of NYC
November 22, 2013 1 Comment
New York City is on the verge of losing one of it's most recognizable landmarks. 5 Pointz, also known as the "Phun Phactory" is set to be demolished and replaced with high-rise apartment building complexes. While most residents of New York City could care less, artists from not only the city, but around the world are up in arms about the decision to remove the graffiti mecca that has blessed our city for over 30 years.
Having visited 5 Pointz myself, I am disappointed to see the entire project turn to ruin. As a major slap in the face, a majority of the building was painted over in white paint before its eventual demolition.This was done secretly overnight without notice. Years and years of legal creative artwork gone overnight.
I believe that the city and the owners of the building don't want outsiders trying to salvage pieces of the building during the demolition process. Makes sense that they would not want the operation being interrupted, but it doesn't make sense that they wouldn't allow the respective artists to have a chance to salvage their masterpieces.
5 Pointz blessed Long Island City in Queens with its convenient location alongside the 7 train line. The graffiti mecca was visible from the train and street, creating maximum exposure to the creativity of the artists who designed the exterior of the building.
Run by Jonathan "Meres" Cohen, 5 Pointz has become a tourist destination for artists worldwide. Covered from head to toe, inside and outside, 5 Pointz was the destination for artists of all shapes and sizes to express themselves through their work. The ability to legally create art to display for all to see was the focal point of 5 Pointz.
Even if you are not interested in "graffiti art". 5 Pointz features a variety of murals that define what our city is all about. 5 Pointz captured perfectly the urban style of its featured artists.
The 200,00 sq. ft. of 5 Pointz is owned by Jerry Wolkoff and Jerry said that by painting over the art at night (with police protection), he felt he was doing "the right thing." The "right thing" is up for debate here Jerry, but you own the building so what can we say?
As much as it is a shame to see 5 Pointz go, I am sure something will take its place in the future. Hopefully the mecca will resurrect itself into an even better destination with a location to be determined at a later date. Street art will never die in our great city. I foresee many artists coming together to create a new masterpiece of a destination that we all can appreciate. Art is creative expression, and when done legally, it as an outlet for creativity and inspiration for those seeking to improve their artistic talents. Without art, life would be mundane and the same old boring routine we all put up with each day.
R.I.P. 5 Pointz. 🙁

Application Areas of Digital Lux Meter
Modern science and technology have contributed much to the development of various innovative equipments and instruments, making life on earth a little easier. The ability to measure intangible elements of nature is one of its kinds.
Digital Lux Meter is a modern day measuring meter which calculates the luminous emittance or the overall intensity of light for a specific area. This equipment records the SI unit of illuminance or lux very precisely so that it can be used in various domains for different applications like advanced photography, video filming, and artificial lighting and also in day to day life to reduce power consumption by identifying the overly lit areas in your home or office buildings.
This indirectly affects the productivity in work places in a positive manner. Proper lighting is essential for human eye to be able to see and read. Dimly lit conditions in industries or manufacturing units adversely affect the quality and quantity of the production activities.
In technical terms, lux is the unit of measurement of the luminous flux that is falling on a surface area. The luminous flux is the visible component for the human eye that is defined in radiant flux (light power) divided by relative sensitivity of human eyes over the visible spectrum.
An advanced Digital Lux Meter is the best equipment to measure the technical aspects of light falling on a surface, for both industrial and laboratory purposes. It is actually the measure of the brightness of the light, as perceived by the human eye, falling on a flat surface.
A Lux Meter works by using a photo cell to capture the light. The light source is then converted into an electrical current by the digital lux meter. The electrical energy is then measured to calculate the lux value of the light which has been captured by the photo cell of the digital lux meter.
The use of a digital lux meter guarantees that it provides the exact measurement of lux. Since the minute details of light measurements are captured by lux meters, its uses lie scattered in diverse domains. It is used in the field of photography for producing pixel perfect images in speed photography and also in slow motion techniques.
It can be used for commercial or industrial purposes like checking the light quality of any specific area or room. It can also be used in medical fields like for intense and bright lights, pin points etc.

THE BIBLE The entire Bible in its original writings is verbally inspired of God and is of plenary authority (2 Tim. 3:16, 17; 2 Peter 1:21)
THE GODHEAD There is one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4; I Tim. 2:5; Eph. 4:4-6; Matt. 28:19; 2 Cor. 13:14).
THE PERSON CHRIST Jesus Christ was begotten by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary, and is true God and true man (Luke 1:35; Phil. 2:6-9; Rom. 1:3-4).
TOTAL DEPRAVITY All men by nature are dead in trespasses and sins, and are, therefore, totally unable to do anything pleasing to God (Eph. 2:1-3; Rom. 3:9-12).
REDEMPTION God justifies ungodly sinners by His grace upon the ground of the blood of Christ through the means of faith. This complete salvation is bestowed as the free gift of God apart from man's works (Rom. 3:24-28; 5:1, 9; Eph. 2:8-9).
ETERNAL SECURITY All of the saved are eternally secure in Christ (Col. 3:1-4; Phil. 1:6; Rom. 8:1; 8:29-34; Rom. 8:38-39; John 10:27-29; Eph. 1:13-14).
PERSONALITY AND WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT The Holy Spirit is a Person, Who convicts the world of sin and Who regenerates, baptizes, indwells, enlightens, and empowers (John 16:8; Titus 3:5; I Cor. 12:13; Eph. 1:13, 17, 18; 3:16).
THE CHURCH In the present dispensation there is only one true Church, which is called the Body of Christ (I Cor. 12:13; Eph. 1:22, 23; 3:6). The historical manifestation of the Body of Christ began with the Apostle Paul before he wrote his first epistle (I Thes. 2:14-16 cf. Acts 13:45, 46; Phil. 1:5,6 cf. Acts 16; I Cor. 12:13, 27 cf. Acts 18).
GIFTS The only gifts necessary for the ministry of the Body of Christ are those enumerated in Ephesians 4:7-16. Of these, only the gifts of Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers are in operation today. All of the sign gifts of the Acts period, such as tongues, prophecy, and healing (I Cor. 12:1-31), being temporary in character, have ceased (I Cor. 13:8-11).
WALK By reason of Christ's victory over sin and of His indwelling Spirit, all of the saved may and should experience deliverance from the power of sin by obedience to Romans 6:11; but we deny that man's nature of sin is ever eradicated during this life (Rom. 6:6-14; Gal. 5:16-25; Rom 8:37; II Cor. 2:14; 10:2-5).
BAPTISM All saved persons have been members of the Body of Christ by one divine baptism (I Cor. 12:13). By that one baptism, every member of the Body of Christ is identified with Christ in His death, burial, and resurrection. In the light of the statement concerning the one baptism in Ephesians 4:5, the statements concerning baptism in Colossians 2:12 and Romans 6:3-4, and Paul's statement in I Corinthians 1:17 that "Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel," we conclude that water baptism has no place in God's spiritual program for the Body of Christ in this Day of Grace.
RESURRECTION Jesus Christ was resurrected bodily from the dead (Luke 24:39-43). Therefore (I Cor. 15:21), all men will have a bodily resurrection (Acts 24:15): the saved to everlasting glory, and the unsaved to everlasting punishment (John 5:29; Rev. 20:11-15).
SECOND COMING OF CHRIST The rapture of the Church and the second coming of Christ will be pre-millennial. He will come first to receive the Church unto Himself (I Thes. 4:13-18; Phil 3:20, 21) and then come to receive His Millennial Kingdom, over which He will reign (Zech. 14:4, 9; Acts 1:10-11; Rev. 19:11-16; 20:4-6).
Because of the nature of the Body of Christ, the resurrection and rapture of the Church, which is His body, will take place before the Great Tribulation (Jer. 30:7; Matt. 24:15-31) at His appearing in the air (I Thes. 4:13-18; Phil 3:20-21; Titus 2:13-14; I Cor. 15:51-53). The resurrection of the other saved dead will occur after the Tribulation (Rev. 20:4-5).
STATE OF THE DEAD Nowhere does Scripture extend the hope of salvation to the unsaved dead, but instead reveals that they will ever continue to exist in a state of conscious suffering (Luke 16:23-28; Rev. 14:11; 20:14-15; Col. 3:6; Rom 1:21-32; John 3:36; Phil 3:19; II Thes. 1:9). The teachings of Universalism, of probation after death, of annihilation of the unsaved dead, and of the unconscious state of the dead, saved or unsaved (Luke 16:23-28; Phil. 1:23; II Cor. 5:6-80, are opposed by us as being thoroughly unscriptural and dangerous doctrines.
MISSION The mission and commission of the Church, which is His Body is to proclaim the message of reconciliation (II Cor. 5:14-21) and endeavor to make all men see what is the Dispensation of the Mystery (Eph. 3:8-9). In this, we should follow the Apostle Paul (I Cor. 4:16; 11:1; Phil 3:17; I Tim. 1:11-16). That distinctive message which the Apostle of the gentiles (Rom. 11:13; 15:16) calls "my gospel" (Rom. 2:16; 16:25) is also called the "gospel of the grace of God" (Acts 20:24). We, like Paul, must preach the entire Word of God in the light of this Gospel (II Tim. 4:2; Gal. 1:8-9) and strive to reach those in the regions beyond where Christ is not yet named (Rom. 15:20; II Cor. 10:16).
