Learn to Be Fully Human from the Son of Man
- Thursday, January 22, 2009
Editor's Note: The following is a report on the practical applications of Dan Russ's new book, Flesh-and-Blood Jesus: Learning to Be Fully Human from the Son of Man, (Baker Books, 2008).
Jesus was fully God, yet He was also fully human. It may seem easier to focus on His divinity, with all of its glorious power. But Jesus Himself emphasized His humanity. He referred to Himself as the "Son of Man" more often than any other title recorded in the Gospels.
The more you get to know about Jesus' human qualities, the more you can learn about yourself.
Here's how Jesus' humanity can help you embrace your own human nature:
· Come to terms with your neediness. Jesus chose to accept the limitations of living as a human being in our fallen world when He left heaven to enter it. Like Jesus, you can admit and accept the fact that you must struggle with weaknesses and needs. Recognize the limits to what you can do, and let that knowledge motivate you to rely more fully on God. Understand how much you still have to learn, and let that knowledge cause you to seek God more. Let the reality of your neediness drive you closer to God, who offers the hope that will ultimately meet all of your needs.
· Find where you belong. Jesus spent His time on earth living within the limits of a particular body in a certain time and in specific places. View the circumstances of your own life as the gifts from God that they are – meant to help you fulfill His good purposes for you. Ask God to help you discover more about those purposes. Get to know where you're from and where you should be going in life. Along the way, be fully present and enjoy the journey.
· Live in the tension between a parent's will and God's will. Jesus always acted in love toward Mary and Joseph, even when He disagreed with them. The tension between you as a grown child and your parents requires that you figure out how to love and honor them while still making your own decisions – even if they don't agree with your choices. Ask God to use the tension to help you and your parents alike grow in maturity.
· Respond wisely to authority. Jesus obeyed the Father, the source of all authority, but still felt free to question God's authority as He wrestled with challenging situations. Jesus also submitted to the authority of various people in His life – His parents, and religious and civil officials. Jesus shows you that authority is a gift from God to protect, guide, and bless you. He teaches you to discern authority's legitimacy, challenge its abuse, and obey when it is righteous.
· Don't be afraid to fail. Jesus failed many times – to live up to His own desires in a fallen world, and to other people's misguided expectations of Him – even though He never sinned. It's not necessarily a sin to fail. Don't try to please everyone. Expect that you will sometimes disappoint the people you love. But when you do fail, you can fail gracefully and without sin. Learn all you can from your failures. Don't give; keep on trying to do your best even after failing – just as Jesus did. Ask God to show you how you can best use your limited life to serve Him. Instead of fighting against the limits that God has placed on your life, wrestle with His will in love, choosing to submit while still being honest with Him about your frustrations. Trust God to use your failures to help you grow as a person.

E3 2011: Wipeout 2048
QUICKTAKE: Wipeout Pure was not only one of the best launch games for the PSP, it remained one of the finest games on the platform altogether. Sony is hoping to strike gold again with Wipeout for PlayStation Vita. With beautiful graphics, new near-future track designs, and planned connectivity with PS3, Wipeout 2048 has the potential to be the best Wipeout yet.
THE DEMO: I got to try two tracks: one brand new track for Wipeout 2048, and a classic track from Wipeout HD. Although there are new "casual" controls being developed for the game, as a veteran of the Wipeout franchise, I stuck to the default standard control scheme.
The new track takes place in 2048's new near-future setting. This is the earliest game in the Wipeout timeline, meaning you'll be racing through cities that look closer in appearance to something you'd see in real life today. I also got to play a Wipeout HD level against another racer playing on the PS3.
DETAILS: PlayStation Vita has a beautiful screen, and Wipeout 2048 did an excellent job of showcasing the colors produced by Sony's beautiful high-resolution OLED display. In fact, I'd argue that 2048 was better looking than PS3's Wipeout HD. (It was an easy comparison to make, especially when they were side-by-side, playing the same track.)
But it's not just the Vita's hardware that makes Wipeout 2048 look so good. The art goes a long way in providing a visceral experience that's unique to 2048. Because 2048 takes place in the near-future, things appear a bit grittier than they did in previous games. The New York City level had me racing down the side of a skyscraper, with the city abuzz in the background. Imagine a roller-coaster ride off the Empire State Building that goes through Times Square, and you'll have an idea of what this race felt like.
The amount of visual information to take in is a bit overwhelming. Not only is it the best-looking Wipeout game so far, it's also the busiest. It's easy to miss the many shortcuts hidden throughout the track. More than any previous Wipeout game, the test track I raced featured a lot of branching paths and alternate routes. Finding the best line is definitely going to be key to victory: some shortcuts can significantly cut down your lap time.
Playing Wipeout HD felt almost pedestrian after the visceral race I experienced in Wipeout 2048. The track was a lot more straightforward, and the design didn't seem as in-your-face. (Of course, having already played that level dozens of times in Wipeout HD and Wipeout Pure might account for the feeling of familiarity.) Seeing a PlayStation Vita and PS3 able to play the same game at the same time was definitely novel, and it's something I want to take advantage of once the game comes out. (The HD tracks may not be in the final game, a producer told me. Instead, the tracks may be released as DLC, as only these tracks will be playable cross-platform. The new 2048 tracks will not be released on PS3.)
Wipeout 2048 is currently planned as a Vita launch title, and its polished presentation at E3 makes me confident that it will, once again, become one of the best games on Sony's upcoming handheld. It's hard not to get excited, especially whilst imagining what Wipeout's Zone mode will look like on Vita's gorgeous OLED screen.

Rush Receives Meritorious Service Award
Carol Rush, staff assistant for the Office of External Relations at Duke Divinity School, has received a Meritorious Service Award from Duke University for outstanding job contributions in 2011 as part of the annual Presidential Awards. The awards are among the most prestigious honors given to Duke staff and faculty.
Rush, who received the service award in the Clerical/Office Support category, was one of 13 Meritorious Award winners and five Presidential Award winners.
Duke University President Richard H. Brodhead honored the 2011 recipients at an April 18 luncheon. Presidential Award winners received a Presidential Medallion and $1,000 check each. Meritorious Award winners received a plaque and $100. The recipients also received invitations to attend the Founders' Convocation and to serve on the selection committee for the following year's Presidential Awards.
"Carol has provided conscientious and creative leadership adding immeasurably to the consistent success of our work with fundraising, alumni programs, leadership events, and donor relations," said David Lindquist, director of development for the Divinity School.
Rush has worked in the Office of External Relations for the last six years and in the Office of the Dean of the Divinity School for the previous two years. She also has worked in a variety of other areas in the university with a total of more than 12 years of service at Duke.
"I love that no two days are the same and that I am in a very positive work environment with people who are committed to what they do," said Rush, who will earn a Master's Degree in Human Resources from Western Carolina University in May through participation in the Duke Tuition Assistance Program. "I also love that I work in one of the most beautiful places in the country."

After an unknown vehicle cut them off and fled the scene, Tiffany Miller was forced to take her mother off life support after she was ejected during the crash.
Now, Miller wants justice and her family is even offering a $1,000 reward to anyone who can help deputies ID a suspect.
Miller and her mother, Sherri Miller, were cut off by a driver last week on I-75 causing their car to flip several times.
- Read the original story here
Miller made the heart-wrenching decision on Friday.
"It's just going to be hard. Today's the first day so I've been in the bed most of the day," said Miller.
Still in shock, she vividly remembers the crash, and what her mom said to her just seconds before it happened.
"She told me to stay calm. I tried to but I just couldn't keep control of the vehicle," she said.
Miller was driving an SUV last Saturday near Bonita Beach Road when she says a gold mini van cut her off and slammed on its breaks.
Miller veered hoping to avoid the unknown vehicle.
"I flipped 5 times into the ditch. She was ejected, and I stayed in the car," she explained.
Miller says she is angry that the person who caused this crash took off and is still out loose.
"I'm extremely angry. I would like some kind of justice to find this guy," she exclaimed.
Miller says she is heartbroken that her 8-year-old daughter Julia will grow up without her grandma.
"She passed away; I just miss her," said Julia.
In the meantime, all the family can do is hope and pray for closure.
Miller describes the driver of the gold mini van as a white man in his 30 or 40s with a bald or shaved head and goatee.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Florida Highway Patrol.

Lashinda Demus Clears Olympic and Mom-Duty Hurdles
Written on April 11, 2012 at 1:27 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Kate Branciforte, editorial intern
It's no doubt that it takes a special kind of woman to be a mother. Moms everywhere are some of the most inspiring women we know! And Lashinda Demus has given us a full cup of motivation mojo to sip on. In 2011, she captured the title of USA Track and Field Champion and set the American record in the 400-meter hurdles in 52.47 seconds. Oh, we should probably mention that she accomplished these goals after she gave birth to twins, lost the 50 pounds of baby weight she had on her 5'7" frame and overcame postpartum depression.
Six short weeks after giving birth, Demus was back on the track with her coach, training to get back into tip-top shape. But her coach isn't your ordinary trainer. From the household to the track, 29-year-old Demus is taking hints from her mother, Yolanda Demus, another accomplished athlete who was a former NCAA 400-meter champion at California State University in Los Angeles.
We caught up with full-time mom, wife and 2012 Olympic-medal hopeful Lashinda Demus to find out how she clears the hurdles that come with being a crazy-busy parent.
Your journey from new mom to Olympic competitor is truly inspiring! How long did it take you to get back into elite shape after you gave birth?
A doctor typically advises mothers to wait six weeks before you do anything, but I thought I was Superwoman and decided to start training again four weeks after having the twins. I quickly came back down to reality; I really had to figure out how to run with my new body because everything that I was used to had changed. Even though I still moved forward with my training, I paid special attention to any body signals that I might be pushing too much. In total, it took me about nine months to get back to elite shape.
You also dealt with postpartum depression. Did training help you overcome this?
Actually, I was really depressed while I was pregnant, so the training after was more like an outlet of all these mixed emotions I had during my pregnancy. It helped me snap out of it and realize that I was getting something I've always wanted—a family. I didn't have to make a choice between my career and being a mother. Relieving myself of that pressure changed my way of thinking, so in turn, I got so excited about bringing my two sons into the world.

"I Cut Portions and Dropped the Baby Weight"
Pages in this Story:
- "I Did It!"
- Dawn's Weight-Loss Plan
"I Did It!"
Name: Dawn Scrutchins
Age: 29
Height: 5'6"
Her Weight Before: 170
Her Weight After: 135
Pounds Lost: 35
At Current Weight: 3 years
Having two babies within a year of each other left Dawn Scrutchins carrying an extra 50 pounds. She wasn't too worried, though. "I'd never had trouble staying in shape, even though I didn't exercise. I figured my body would bounce back," says the retail manager from Dublin, Georgia. But four years later, she was still overweight. "I was finishing school and caring for my girls. With no time to cook, I lived on supersized fast-food meals."Crazed by Cravings
Dawn weighed 120 pounds until she got pregnant. "You're supposed to eat a little more when you're expecting, but I went overboard," she says. "I craved sub sandwiches loaded with meat, cheese, and dressing -- and ate them two at a time." After her youngest was born, she was up to 170.
Then Dawn saw a photo of herself sitting on a sofa. "My face was round, my thighs were huge. I realized that my metabolism had changed. I was going to have to start exercising if I didn't want to look that way forever."Taking Action
That day, Dawn bought a treadmill and a few Pilates tapes and started working out five days a week. "I had to get up at 5 a.m. to fit it in -- but it was worth it," she says. She also ate more roast chicken and lean pork, substituted water for soda, and treated herself to cookies or doughnuts once a week instead of every day. Within five months, she was down to 135 pounds.
Dawn's daughters, now 11 and 12, have also benefited from her lifestyle changes. "We talk about exercise and nutrition all the time," she says. "I'm glad I can be a healthy role model for them."

Congratulations Dawn! Way to go Girl! You look great. I am 40 years old. I was blessed when I had my baby. I exercised and went from 165 pounds to 125 pounds within 3 weeks when I was 25 years old. Sweets are my downfall as well. I started in May 2014 cutting carbs (at 160 pounds) and I have lost 11 pounds. 135 pounds is my goal weigh and I am 5'3. Thanks for sharing your story!! tina927/21/2014 11:12:59 AM Report Abuse
Quite inspiring. Congratulations to her. Dawn went from 170 to 135. After my second child I ultimately went from 135 to 170 in what now seems like a nanosecond. Before both children I was 125. So I need to at least be at exactly where she's at. And I am going to do it! Already lost 10 lbs...and counting....8/29/2011 07:23:34 PM Report Abuse
She looks great and she has inspired me to loose my baby weight even faster. Before my child was born I was a size 6 and 140 lbs. Now I am a size 8 and 168 lbs, this is disheartening and this story has made me realize that anything is possible. Phil 4:133/23/2011 12:58:28 PM Report Abuse
Even though I'm only 18 and never had a child, I'm 10lbs over her starting weight....This story just motivated me :)10/27/2010 12:37:55 PM Report Abuse

NORFOLK -- It's a big weekend on the downtown Norfolk waterfront with Friday's Parade of Sail officially kicking of Harborfest.
The annual festival is even bigger this year with OpSail 2012 Virginia, a celebration of 200 years of U.S. maritime history.
The ships began arriving in view of downtown around 12:20 p.m. Once the ships are docked, many will be open for tour.
Thousands of people lined both sides of the Elizabeth River to get a glimpse of the tall ships under sail. Many were out early to get close to the water's edge for an unobstructed view.
Festival-goers will have lots to do and see all weekend - free ships tours, concerts, plenty of food when they get hungry. Fireworks will go off from three barges on Saturday night and the display should be visible 3.5 miles along the festival waterfront.

Great news for Beach Boys fans! While the group's 50th anniversary reunion tour came to an abrupt end last September, Brian Wilson has revealed that he has plans to team up again with at least some of his former band mates. The singer/songwriter has scheduled his first official tour date of 2013, a July 25 concert at the Fraze Pavilion in Dayton, Ohio, that will feature two very special guests -- The Beach Boys' Al Jardine and David Marks .
Jardine and Marks, of course, took part in last year's anniversary trek, as well as in the recording of the band's latest studio album, That's Why God Made the Radio . Fans of the group were disappointed when the group's Mike Love and Bruce Johnston opted not to extend the popular and critically acclaimed reunion outing, choosing instead to go back to touring with their pre-50th anniversary Beach Boys lineup, which doesn't include Wilson, Jardine or Marks.
No word if Wilson plans to play additional concerts with Jardine and Marks.
In related news, Marks recently released a solo CD titled The Circle Continues that features songs he co-wrote with one-time Beach Boys lyricist Stephen Kalinich . Jardine also contributes his talents to a track titled "I Sail Away."

I know... that was my first thought, too: "Zucchini Cookies? You have got to be kidding me!" However, a cookie is a cookie so I gave these a go. Hello delicious! They were light, soft, chewy, flavorful, and gone! I left out the raisins (I'd rather be poked in the left eye with a shart stick than have to eat a raisin). These were awesome. Give them a try! Really!
The cookies were tasty, but it tasted just like zucchini bread, but without the best part of the bread, the middle! I make at least 1 loaf of zucchini bread a month and these cookies just tasted like the outside of the loaf. I'll pass on making this one again.

Sooooo good. Stayed with recipe, only some substitutions: used butter instead of margarine and threw in some flax meal and used half whole wheat and half white flour. No cloves since I didn't have any. Guests ate them up. The lactating guest had four, and my children (2 and 4) loved them, raisins and all. For some reason, I didn't trust they were done at 10 minutes (convection oven). I left them in for 2 more, and some burned. Refridgerated overnight, the dough looked all lumpy with sharp points, but when baked, puffed up to these completely round dome-shaped muffin top-like cookies, no matter how sloppily I dropped the dough shapes. More of a cake texture than a drier cookie texture. Zucchini didn't show up at all in the finished cookie, but I used a food processor for the whole thing and dumped all ingredients in rather than sifting them in. What a time saver! Thanks for the great recipe.
Very very good- Be careful not to overbake- Take them out when they still look slightly "doughey" in the center. They also freeze very well. No one will know these have zucchini in them!
Thanks for the great recipe!!!
A co-worker made a batch of these and I have to say, they are just about the most delicious thing I have ever tasted. Now I know what to do with all those zucchini's from our garden.
These were great! I brought them into work and they were gone in one day. Great spicy note from the cloves. I used dried cranberries instead of raisins, and made sure not to overbake, as others suggested. This cookie was more moist than any I have ever baked!
I left out the raisins in half of the cookies since I'm not a big raisin fan. I than topped those cookies with a confectioners sugar icing. SOO good, with or without the icing!
Wow!These cookies were much more excellent than I had expected. The edges were delicately crisp, and the center was like velvety cake. I used golden raisins and mini chocolate chips.

GENERIC NAME: atorvastatin
BRAND NAME: Lipitor
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Atorvastatin is an oral drug that lowers the level of cholesterol in the blood. It belongs to a class of drugs referred to as statins, which includes lovastatin (Mevacor), simvastatin, (Zocor), fluvastatin (Lescol), and pravastatin (Pravachol) and rosuvastatin (Crestor). All statins, including atorvastatin, prevent the production of cholesterol in the liver by blocking HMG-CoA reductase, an enzyme that makes cholesterol. Statins reduce total cholesterol as well as LDL cholesterol in blood. LDL cholesterol is believed to be the "bad" cholesterol that is primarily responsible for the development of coronary artery disease. Reducing LDL cholesterol levels retards progression and may even reverse coronary artery disease. Atorvastatin also raises the concentrations of HDL ("good") cholesterol that protects against coronary artery disease and reduces the concentration of triglycerides in the blood. (High blood concentrations of triglycerides also have been associated with coronary artery disease.) The FDA approved atorvastatin in December 1996.
PRESCRIPTION: Yes
GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes
PREPARATIONS: Tablets of 10, 20, 40, and 80 mg
STORAGE: Tablets should be stored at room temperature, 20-25 C (68-77 F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Atorvastatin is used for the treatment of elevated total cholesterol, LDL, and triglycerides and to elevate HDL cholesterol. The effectiveness of atorvastatin in lowering cholesterol is dose-related, meaning that higher doses reduce cholesterol more. Atorvastatin prevents angina, stroke, heart attack, hospitalization for congestive heart failure, and revascularization procedures in individuals with coronary artery disease. Atorvastatin reduces the risk of myocardial infarction (heart attack), stroke, angina and revascularization procedures in adults with multiple risk factors for coronary artery disease. Atorvastatin also prevents heart attacks and strokes in patients with type 2 diabetes with multiple risk factors for coronary artery disease.
DOSING: Atorvastatin is prescribed once daily. The usual starting dose is 10-20 mg per day, and the maximum dose is 80 mg per day. Individuals who need more than a 45% reduction in LDL cholesterol may be started at 40 mg daily. Atorvastatin may be taken with or without food and at any time of day.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Decreased elimination of atorvastatin could increase levels of atorvastatin in the body and increase the risk of muscle toxicity from atorvastatin. Therefore, atorvastatin should not be combined with drugs that decrease its elimination. Examples of such drugs include erythromycin (E-Mycin), ketoconazole (Nizoral), itraconazole (Sporanox), clarithromycin (Biaxin), telithromycin (Ketek), cyclosporine (Sandimmune), nefazodone (Serzone), and HIV protease inhibitors such as indinavir (Crixivan) and ritonavir (Norvir).

The 10 biggest reasons we're in debt
Despite recent belt-tightening, US consumers still owe plenty. Here are the top sources of personal debt, and how such borrowing affects your finances and the economy.
The biggest debt is the one we didn't make. The national debt. Not one of us signed for this debt. I think lawmakers should shoulder the blame for that. They should be forced to sell whatever they have and pay on the debt. Their bank accounts and any pensions should be seized and paid on the debt. I do not think we should have to pay that. We didn't sign for it. Now, the next sore issue is the medical debt. When you go to a doctor, then to the legal drug lords you get more side effects, more docs, then more pills, more side effects, more docs...then hospital. Get one scan and you get bills from ten other people you never heard of. One did the scan, one read it in anohter town, one interpreted it, and one wiped his ash on it, one sent it back to doc, ...you get bills from all of them! I hope the Chinese foreclose on America and take over the operations of the whole country! Send idiot congress home!
National debt is $16.8 trillion and growing. A "temporary" lifting of the debt ceiling allows the national debt to grow without limit. Will the U.S. Congress and President keep authorizing "temporary" liftings of the debt ceiling until it becomes de facto permanent?
What about unfunded liabilities of the U.S. Government? They amount to $100 to $222 trillion, but because the U.S. Governement does not follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) that every business has to follow, no one knows about the huge problem of unfunded liabilities. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and foreign wars make up a large amount of this.
Annual budget deficit is typically $1.1 to $1.3 trillion per year out of a $3.5 trillion budget (and growing).
$802 billion for Medicare and Medicaid
$768 billion for Social Security
$670 billion for Defense
$615 billion for "discretionary" government programs
$461 billion for other "mandatory" government programs
$223 billion for interest on the national debt
Families get into financial trouble when they spend too much.
So do countries, even big and prosperous countries like the United States of America.
Is there anyone who has read this article/slideshow, who knows the ins and outs of health insurance that can provide the answers to:
Is there a type of health insurance that covers everything?
Is it possible to cover everything?
How could the U.S. go about having better health care and health insurance for the future?
Is there any stock in wellness programs through your employer?
P.S. I'm thankful to everyone who did their part in paying down credit card debt.
The Too Big To Fail (or Jail) banks are currently gambling on highly leveraged financial instruments called derivatives. The value of these derivatives are in the range of several hundred trillion dollars to one quadrillion dollars, many times greater than the world GDP.
What happens when one of these Too Big To Fail (or Jail) banks fails? Even if the Federal Reserve were to print money to bail out these banks, it would cause massive hyperinflation.
Fascinates me that they include mortgage debt in this because it's considered to be the only kind that is "good". My wife is from China and they abhor debt, tending to pay cash whenever possible for everything. With rates this low I've encouraged her to learn to live with using OPM to expand wealth as long as we are capable of repaying the debt. We only have mtg debt and are proud of that fact. It's still difficult because it's a large payment.
Consumers should learn to pay in full when ever possible and to hell with the banks and lenders. It's time this country retrench and learn to cover it's expenses and that includes the gov't. Of course I am preaching to the choir here. We all know that gov't is totally out of control at all levels in terms of spending. What direct benefit do you or I actually derive from the government? The middle class is dying and it's only going to get worse as we are taxed into oblivion in order to fund bridges to no where, airports that serve ONLY ONE COMPANY, studies on why 3 year olds fall off beds, etc. While there is some importance to some projects much of what the gov't spends on is nonsensical. The biggest thing is that now we're going to sign on the dotted line to support Afghanistan, WHY? They didn't exactly welcome us to get the Taliban out, and aren't exactly nice to us now...they want our $$$ CAPITAL. This is where the US has to tighten it's belt and begin to take care of it's own first. PEACE!

AP Sports Writer
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) - An Auburn University horticulture professor says there's no sign of poisoning yet in the new leaves on the oak trees at Toomer's Corner.
Gary Keever said Wednesday that he expects that to change in the spring, noting that going into the fall and winter leaves became discolored and fell off.
Keever says without that new growth on the two trees, "they'd essentially be dead."
He says they'll take samples next week to get a better indication of how much poison is in the foliage and soil.
Harvey Updyke, the Alabama fan accused of poisoning the trees, has a hearing scheduled for Wednesday afternoon to discuss a new trial date. A Lee County judge granted the defense's request for delaying the trial, initially scheduled for March 5.

I don't usually take photos like this, least of all post them. But I wanted to get this across, and I felt this was the most effective way. People are beautiful no matter what size they are. Skinny, short, tall, obese - whatever. We have scars and freckles and birth marks and hair or lack of hair and all sorts of things that make us different.
A friend of mine is dealing with some serious body image issues, and it's pushing him to do horrible things to himself. When people will do literally anything to be thin, something is horribly wrong. Strive to love yourself for how you are; don't only love yourself because you've lost a few pounds.
I've had body image issues most of my life, but you know what? Screw it. I'm healthy and I'm happy and I know myself.
I will never fit society's made up standard of beauty; this is my own standard, and this is me.
EDIT. To all the hate going around regarding this picture, I just want to share something with you: I was called fat almost every day of my life growing up. I had things spat at me on the bus, I was called terrible names, and I had ZERO friends for a nice chunk of time. Maybe you can't see that here, or maybe you're comparing me to others, but there isn't some double standard here; I can still say "FUCK THE SOCIETAL STANDARD," despite what you see. Fuck it. Fuck it all to hell. I'm not going to sit back and allow you all to call me down for posting this just because I don't fit YOUR standard of imperfection. Considering I felt horrible about my body image for a good 19 years of my life, I think I'm WELL entitled to make this. SO, there's that.

You certainly do realize that there are many people suffering around you. They desperately need your help. By giving a little money to them, it will be very meaningful. However, if you do not have money, you can give your help in the form of attention. You can support them mentally so that they have the spirit to release themselves from their suffering. As long as you are sincere in helping them, you will give their smiles back to their faces.
There are many organizations that concern about the problems. You can find a variety of organizations that raise funds in various ways. They are seeking donations from the community through various charity activities. You can also find a community outreach program that aims to help those who suffer through music performances. Many volunteers are trying to raise money through music. As you know, music is a universal language. Everyone would like the music. The volunteers sing to collect donations in a variety of musical performances. The money they get from the performances is to help those who suffer. Music can also reduce pain. That is why many people are trying to comfort those who suffer with beautiful songs. They are the effective remedy to relieve other's pain.

Amazon.com's long-term vision
CEO Jeff Bezos is focused on a far-reaching strategy, rather than just short-term results.
Amazon.com (AMZN) has been making massive investments in its future at the expense of short-term results.
With Jeff Bezos -- one of the few remaining tech visionaries -- at the helm, we're willing to bet the online retailer will succeed in its far-reaching strategy.
In the recent third quarter, Amazon's revenues of $10.9 billion came in 44% higher than in the year-earlier period and were just a shade below what analysts had forecast.
Profits, however, were a bleaker story: net income was just $63 million, down from $231 million in the same quarter a year earlier and around half of what analysts were expecting.
Increased shipping costs contributed to the profit miss. The major cause, however, was a big rise in capital expenditures aimed at building up the company's infrastructure so as to lay the groundwork for future growth.
For starters, Amazon added 17 new fulfillment centers (two more than had been expected this quarter) as it expands its capabilities.
This represented a big expense, but the centers are only part of the company's ambitious expansion program: earlier in the year it had announced it would add a total of 50 new centers in 2011, almost doubling its existing base of 52 centers. Moreover, the new centers also entail higher payrolls, further adding to costs.
Second, Amazon has spent heavily on the development and production of its new tablet offering, the Kindle Fire.
The $199 tablet will be a loss leader for the company, as Amazon looks to gain market share by losing on the upfront sale of the device.
The plan is to compensate for the losses through high-margined sales of e-books and other online products that consumers can order through the device.
All the above costs, along with the expectation of losses from the Kindle Fire once sales of the device begin, have added up to very sober earnings guidance for the fourth quarter.
In fact, even with revenues expected to continue to grow sharply, perhaps again by 44% year-over-year, Amazon has prepared investors for the possibility of an unprofitable quarter: it projected net income anywhere from a loss of $200 million to a profit of $250 million.
Shares are expensive on a P/E basis (and will get more expensive if the company reports a loss), but we still think they represent good value as one of the last standing dot.com giants prepares for its next leg of dominance and growth.

The WT1-related Wilms' tumor (WT) syndromes are a group of hereditary disorders caused by alterations in a gene known as WT1. This group of disorders includes:
In addition to the WT1-related Wilms' tumor syndromes, there are a number of other genetic conditions associated with the development of WT. Some of these conditions include:
To learn more about these conditions, please visit the National Institutes of Health's Gene Tests site.
Patients with these conditions have a greater risk of developing a malignant tumor of the kidney known as nephroblastoma, or Wilms' tumor (WT). Wilms' tumor is the most common type of kidney cancer affecting children. Very rarely, WT can occur in adults.
The average age of diagnosis of Wilms' tumor in children depends upon whether one or both kidneys are affected:
Individuals with the WAGR syndrome are missing one working copy of the WT1 gene. They also may be missing one copy of several other genes that lie next to the WT1 gene on chromosome 11 at position p13. As a result, patients with the WAGR syndrome often have a variety of issues, including:
People with Denys-Drash syndrome may develop the following clinical features:
People with Frasier syndrome may develop the following clinical features:
Individuals with GU anomalies syndrome may develop the following clinical features:
These conditions are caused by alterations, or "mutations," at a specific area in an individual's genetic information. Each of us has a large amount of genetic information that is organized into smaller segments known as "genes." Genes provide the instructions the cells of the body need to perform their different functions. There is a specific gene known as WT1, located on chromosome 11 at position p13, which is altered in patients with the WT1-related WT syndromes. The WT1 gene produces a protein known as a "transcription factor." The WT1 transcription factor turns "on" and "off" other genes that regulate how cells making up the genitourinary system grow and develop. The specific WT1-related condition that a person may develop is related to the type of alteration that he or she carries in one copy of the WT1 gene:
With the exception of egg and sperm cells, each cell of the body normally has two working copies of the WT1 gene. In patients with WT1-related Wilms' tumor syndromes, however, each cell contains only one normal WT1 gene copy. While the second copy is present, it is altered so that it does not function properly. A person carrying an alteration or deletion in one copy of the WT1 gene has a 50 percent (or 1 in 2) chance of passing this same alteration on to each of his or her future children. Children who inherit the altered gene copy are at risk to develop the features of a WT1-related Wilms' tumor syndrome over the course of their lives. Interestingly, most patients with WT1-related syndromes are the first in their family to have the condition. In these individuals, it is believed that the condition results from the occurrence of a "new" mutation in one copy of the WT1 gene in one of the father's sperm, one of the mother's eggs, or in a cell of the developing fetus.
Because gene alterations in WT1 may cause abnormal formation of the reproductive organs in individuals with either DDS or FS, these individuals may be infertile. If an individual is infertile, there should be no chance of passing on the WT1 mutation to future offspring.
When a child is suspected of having a Wilms' tumor, it is necessary to perform diagnostic imaging studies such as:
Although imaging studies are suggested, a definitive diagnosis of Wilms' tumor can only be made after pathological examination of a biopsy (small sample) of a suspected mass or following removal of the involved kidney.
A detailed review of an individual's medical and family history is important when diagnosing a WT1-related WT syndrome. Specifically, the presence of any of the clinical features noted above in a child that is diagnosed with WT, such as aniridia, hypospadias or undescended testicles, should prompt further investigation of the WT1 gene in that individual. A doctor or genetic counselor may also construct a pedigree, or a multi-generation family tree, that indicates which members of the family, if any, have developed certain clinical findings such as Wilms' tumor, kidney abnormalities, GU anomalies, and/or early onset renal failure. If the pattern of clinical features and/or cancers is suggestive of a WT1-related Wilms' tumor syndrome, the physician or counselor may recommend that genetic testing be performed.
The process of genetic testing can be performed to assess whether an affected individual has an alteration in the WT1 gene:
Note: WAGR syndrome is typically diagnosed by observing a large deletion of genetic material through chromosome studies or specific deletion testing.
WT1 genetic test results can also provide important information for other family members. Knowing the specific alteration that is present in an individual with a WT1-related Wilms' tumor syndrome allows for other family members to undergo testing to determine whether they also carry the alteration and could therefore develop WT or the other features associated with these conditions.
Reproductive options exist for an individual with an alteration in the WT1 gene who does not wish to pass this alteration on to future children:
The most serious cancer risk for patients with the WT1-related WT syndromes is the development of one or more Wilms' tumors, which generally occur during the first 3 years of life. The estimated risks for developing Wilms' tumor depend upon the type of WT1 mutation that is present.
The majority of children with WT1-related Wilms' tumor syndromes have nephroblastomatosis, or pre-malignant lesions of the kidneys. These lesions are Wilms' tumor precursors. Sometimes they develop into Wilms' tumor and other times they regress during early childhood. They are often closely watched for tumor development, or they may be treated surgically or with chemotherapy to prevent tumor formation.
Wilms' tumor can be cured with proper treatment. The probability of cure depends in part upon the cancer's stage, or extent of spread, at diagnosis. We recommend patients with the WT1-related WT syndromes have regular screenings in order to detect potential Wilms' tumor as early as possible. Research shows early detection leads to improved outcomes, because cancers are often smaller and easier to remove surgically. An earlier diagnosis may also reduce the need for chemotherapy and lower the dose of, or eliminate the need for, radiation treatment.
All cancer screening should be performed in consultation with a pediatric oncologist, and radiology studies should be reviewed by a radiologist with pediatric expertise. Whenever possible, cancer screening should be done at the same center for consistency of results. In the event that screening results in a suspected or confirmed tumor, we recommend a prompt referral to a pediatric oncologist.
We recommend the following cancer screening protocol for patients suspected of having, or proven to have, a WT1-related Wilms' tumor susceptibility syndrome:
To screen for Wilms' tumor, an ultrasound examination focusing on the kidneys should be performed every three months until the patient is 5-7 years of age. Abdominal ultrasounds are safe and painless, and they do not involve the use of radiation. If a lesion is suspected, more detailed imaging should be performed using a CT or MRI scan and the patient should be promptly referred to a pediatric oncologist for further management.
To prevent the development of gonadoblastoma in patients with Frasier syndrome or Denys-Drash syndrome who have specific abnormalities of the developing sex organs known as "streak" gonads, it is recommended that the abnormal gonads be surgically removed early during childhood.
In addition to cancer surveillance, patients with WT1-related Wilms' tumor syndromes may require multidisciplinary care provided by pediatric subspecialists:
Children should also continue to have regular check-ups by their physicians.
As general cancer prevention measures, children should be encouraged to lead as healthy a lifestyle as possible. They should eat a balanced diet, avoid excess sun exposure and always wear sun block and a hat when outdoors in the sunlight. As adolescents, they should be discouraged from smoking cigarettes or cigars and should not be exposed to second hand smoke. Parents should watch for symptoms of illness and have their children evaluated promptly if these occur.

The Baths.
The Baths
251 The Esplanade
Middle Brighton
Other than Stokehouse and Donovans, I'm not familiar of any other place with a gorgeous view of the water. We stopped by Sails On The Bay, only to find out it was closed. We found ourselves all the way in Middle Brighton and took a turn down to this busy little spot.
Situated next to Brighton Baths Health Club, we overlook their swimming area, where you can spend the day on the deck or in the water for $5.
It was a lovely day and the tables were pretty packed when we arrived.
Sauteed Prawn Linguine, Spinach, Cherry Tomatoes & Soft Herbs ($25)
Compared to the ones we had at Manhattan, Cicciolina and Donovans, the prawns here couldn't hold a candle to the fresh crunchy sweet ones we'd sampled over the past few days. The pasta was al dente with sweet cherry tomatoes.
Confit Duck & Mushroom Risotto & Soft Herbs ($20)
The risotto was lacking the bite I craved, and in one word - gluggy, with bits of shredded duck and mushroom.
Little Creatures Beer Battered Fish & Chips ($18)
The batter was quite thick, and the fish wasn't soft or silky.
Banking on the calm scenic view and bright blue skies, and the aid of a glass of Riesling or two, I'm in a slightly more forgiving mood but the food could be better.

The Word: Lindsay Lohan's new all-American boyfriend
Lindsay Lohan is dating former pro football player Matt Nordgren, who played for the Philadelphia Eagles for a season and also appeared on the reality show "Most Eligible Dallas."Apparently, friends think Matt's clean-cut lifestyle is just what Lindsay needs right now. "He's older, a successful businessman, and he has been a great friend to her," a source tells Us Weekly. "He's also a Christian and won't drink around her. He's trying to keep her sober and on the straight and narrow. He's really good for her."
Ooh, this is like something out of a movie from the fifties. He's a small town football player who loves his mama and goes to church every Sunday, and she's the big city girl with a shady past and a flask up her poodle skirt, and she knows she's all wrong for him, but something about his big blue eyes makes her wanna go straight, see?
In an interview with Oprah, Lohan seemed ready to admit that things have gone badly wrong of late, and said she believed her behavior had its roots in an unstable childhood. "A lot of stuff went on with my family when I was young and I grew up in a very chaotic home and then there were moments of everything being wonderful and perfect and then things being so uncontrollable and chaotic that — it's something people go through and unfortunately I waited too long to face it," she told Oprah.

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Wisconsinites will have their say today on whether 17-year-old suspects for non-violent crimes should be treated as juveniles instead of adults.
The Assembly Criminal Justice Committee will hold public hearing at the Capitol late this morning on a bill to return non-violent 17-year-olds to the juvenile court system. Supporters say it would give them a better chance of getting treatment, instead of just being locked up with older criminals in prison. The bill reverses a 1996 law which charges all 17-year-olds in adult court. Advocacy groups have been trying to repeal the law in recent years without success.
The new measure is a compromise in which teens charged with the most serious crimes like homicide and rape could still face adult penalties. The same would be true for repeat offenders. Wisconsin is one of 11 states where defendants under 18 are automatically charged as adults.
Attorney General J-B Van Hollen says the system works just fine. Those supporting the change include the state Public Defender's office, the State Bar, and the Wisconsin Catholic Conference.

First-Year Student Programs
Bouvé understands that the student's first-year of college is a milestone and seeks to make the transition from high school to college as smooth as possible. To facilitate this transition, the OSS offers a number of opportunities for students to establish a strong connection to Bouvé and the Northeastern community. Social and academic events complement the personalized advising each student receives within our office.
Living and Learning Community (LLC)
The Bouvé Living and Learning Community is a residence option designed specifically for first-year students enrolled in the Bouvé College of Health Sciences. Students benefit from participating in a community that fosters a balance between their academic and social needs while providing closer interaction with faculty and greater exposure to the health professions. Bouvé LLC seeks to develop leaders actively involved in their communities. Accordingly, residents are expected to contribute to the learning atmosphere of the floor(s) and actively participate in community projects and activities.
Introduction to College
The first semester of college is a time of major adjustment for students. This adjustment occurs not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. Understanding the transition being made, Bouvé offers an Introduction to College seminar for all first-year students. Students connect with a faculty member in their major while learning fundamental skills that they will use throughout their career at Northeastern.
Bouvé Fellows Program
Marjorie Bouvé Fellows are upper-year Bouvé students who serve as peer mentors for first-year students as they transition academically and personally to Northeastern University. In order to assist first-year students with their academic transitional needs, Bouvé Fellows serve as both mentors and co-instructors of "College: An Introduction" seminars. They also foster community development through programming and other mentoring roles. Bouvé Fellows participate in training programs so that they are prepared for their roles and provided with the tools needed to be the best mentor possible to first-year students and the Bouvé Community.
Community Service
As a health sciences college set in an urban environment, Bouvé makes it a priority for our students to understand the importance of community service. During their first year, students have the opportunity to participate in community service through their "College: An Introduction" seminar and through special College service activities. Current first-year students have participated in Habitat for Humanity, volunteered at Community Servings, a food kitchen for HIV/AIDS patients in the Boston area, the Boston Light the Night Walk, and many other Boston-area events.

Catching a Classic Hamptons View in Sag Harbor, New York
Harbor boats bobbing, color popping from sails, sounds of history, live music and local theater drifting by—you won't find a more quintessential Hamptons perch than that on your private balcony at the iconic Sag Harbor Inn. Set overlooking the picture-perfect marina and just steps from the antiques, galleries, and cafes of Sag Harbor's Main Street, the historic hotel makes it easy to fully and furiously experience everything the Hamptons have to offer. This means long days shopping, wine tasting, and beaching, and long evenings back on your balcony (each of the hotel's 42 suites has one) soaking up a truly classic Hampstons scene.


text: We were fortunate to have a sunny day for our excursion. Being November, it was cold; we would suggest warm clothing, although our hosts offered their guests blankets. Our skipper and crew were amazing and made the journey very interesting and entertaining. We saw fish jump, hundreds of Bald eagles, and a bonus adventure of seeing a mighty Sturgeon caught....

10-23, 12-13, 17-18, 16-7
Recently installed head coach Lucas Mondelo can breathe a sigh of relief after Spain clinched a 61-55 success against Germany in Nördlingen to become the first team to qualify for EuroBasket Women 2013.
The group favourites headed into the game under the microscope and feeling the heat since they knew defeat could leave their hopes hanging in the balance due to having lost twice in Group D against Sweden.
But, just when it mattered most and only three days after their midweek reversal at home to the Swedes, the contrast in emotion was palpable as a wealth of veteran experience helped to get their team over the finishing line.
Perhaps encapsulating their qualification campaign as a whole, it wasn't all plain sailing with the hosts managing to produce a late scare, making serious inroads into a 17 point deficit by holding the visitors to a meagre seven points during the final quarter.
No doubt fired up after Wednesday's disappointment, Spain was always on the front foot right from the tip-off with a blistering 23-10 first quarter giving them they cushion the subsequently needed.
Crucially, they also dominated on the boards too with Cindy Lima and Laura Nicholls each pulling down 11 rebounds while Amaya Valdemoro top scored for Spain with 18 points.
Germany's slim hopes of achieving successive qualifications for the Final Round of EuroBasket Women are now over.
"My team played well today and had a serious chance to win this game. Spain has a tremendous team with so many talented players. If you stop one player, another takes over."
Germany player Dorothea Richter:"We played well defensively but unfortunately were not lucky with our shots. In the end, it was close but Spain was too clever and too strong. Now our hopes to make it to the EuroBasket are very small which is sad for us."
Spain coach Lucas Mondelo:"I am very happy about the win. The first three quarters of my team were very good but the last was bad. We let Germany back into the game but luckily could win it in the end."
Spain player Amaya Valdemoro:"It was a tough game for us. Germany played well and was very strong in the end. We are very happy with the win. The pressure was high for us today but we remained strong."

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to oxycodone: compounding powder, oral capsule, oral concentrate, oral solution, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release
In general, the adverse effects that occur with oxycodone (the active ingredient contained in Oxyfast) are similar with the immediate- and controlled-release products. Adverse effects may be dose-related in opioid naive patients. Patients who are tolerant to the analgesic effect of oxycodone may be tolerant to the dose-related side effects, except constipation.
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects are common and include drowsiness (23% to 24%), sedation, dizziness (13% to 16%), headache (7%). dry mouth (7%), and lightheadedness. Many of the central nervous system adverse effects may be minimized by slow titration of the dose.
Respiratory depression may occur with any opioid, including oxycodone (the active ingredient contained in Oxyfast) Other effects may include apnea, respiratory arrest, and rarely circulatory collapse.
Severe adverse effects such as respiratory depression can be treated with the opioid antagonist naloxone. (The usual adult dose of naloxone is 1 to 2 mg every 5 minutes as necessary to a maximum of 10 mg. The dose can be administered intravenously, intramuscularly, subcutaneously, and sublingually.)
Nausea (23% to 27%), vomiting (12% to 14%), and constipation (23% to 26%) occur commonly. There have been rare reports of difficulty in swallowing the tablets, intestinal obstruction, and exacerbation of diverticulitis, some of which have required medical intervention to remove the tablet. Patients with underlying GI disorders such as esophageal cancer or colon cancer with a small gastrointestinal lumen are at greater risk of developing these complications.
Withdrawal symptoms, after either abrupt cessation or fast tapering of narcotic analgesics, may occur and include agitation, palpitations, restlessness, anxiety, insomnia, tremor, abdominal cramps, blurred vision, vomiting, piloerection, and sweating.
Psychosis has also been reported during withdrawal from oxycodone.
Psychiatric adverse effects reported include paranoia, psychosis, and hallucinations.
Pruritus has been reported rarely. Diphenhydramine (25 to 50 mg) has been shown to be helpful for opioid-associated pruritus.
Hepatic side effects including increased hepatic enzymes have been reported.
Cardiovascular side effects from higher doses have included QTc prolongation.

Compact Digital Multimeter
Compact meter features a wide range of measurement capabilities, and is ergonomically designed to easily fit in the palm of your hand. 3-1/2 digit, 1999 count display measures AC/DC voltage, DC current, ohms and diode check.
I use this everyday since purchasing it and have had no issues. It is a good little meter for the price and appears to be plenty accurate.
Bought it when it was on sale. Inexpensively made, but worth the cost. The only very minor criticism is that one must remove the entire back of case to install 9V battery. It could have been designed such that the battery compartment had its own smaller access door. Still, battery installation was not a big deal.
Excellent value...better than going to the Shack
If you just need a simple meter, this is a great value!
Great meter for the money. I've gotten good measurements with this for several years now. DC voltage down to a couple mV or so, AC voltage, resistance, capacitance, amperage. Diode check seems to work, but the info in the display doesn't seem consistent with the description in the manual.

Selserene, is using WoW as an engine to tell her story not to rewrite a story about Warcraft. Keeping factions completely separate doesn't even happen in game so requesting that Selserene (or even RPers) do not cross factions is a bit close minded. The lines between good and evil, right and wrong, black and white, alliance and horde blur the harder to try to kept them apart.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A woman trying to shoplift a $6.99 bottle of wine in Spokane smashed it over the head of Hillyard Grocery employee Jason Hill Thursday evening when he confronted her going out the door.
Authorities arrested Makayla Keeney, 29, for allegedly assaulting the clerk around 6:40 p.m. on Thursday near Market and Central. Keeney is in jail for first degree robbery.
Police said the Keeney was shoplifting and ran out of the store. Officers said a man chased her out of the store. Hill said that is when she broke the wine bottle over his head.
"The owner tried locking the door, but it couldn't shut," said Hill, "when I went to grab her she took the bottle and broke it over my face. Then she grabbed pieces of glass tried to chase me, tried to stab me
James Kemple witnessed the entire thing.
"When I started running over here, he grabbed her by her hair and pulled her down and he was trying to restrain her. She was hitting him. He told me to grab her and I went to grab her legs. I got kicked in the face right here," said Kemple
Hill managed to hold the suspect until police arrived.
Officers said the victim suffered a cut to the head but returned to work.

Riding mountain bikes on the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge — or not
One February not too long ago, during a really nasty snow storm, I traveled down the Resurrection Trail in Chugach National Forest on skis while pulling a pulk. One of my companions was mushing a 3-dog sled. I was reflecting on that winter trip as I bounced and slid (and cursed) along the same trail on my mountain bike this past Labor Day weekend, but this time in a deluge of cold autumn rain driven by high winds off Turnagain Arm.

The chest, built by prominent eighteenth-century cabinetmaker John Townsend of Newport, fetched $3,554,500, the top price along the Important Americana items up for bid, said Darrell Rocha, a spokesman for the auction house. The price also set a Sotheby's record for a high chest of drawers.
EAST GREENWICH - While the School Department's financial advisory board would like to see an eventual end to the leasing of storage space in Varnum Armory, that may be easier said than done.

Posted by admin as General Tips & Advice
Whilst there are a number of different types of self-storage units available, in order to get good value for money you need to ensure that you properly consider your needs as well as the type of goods that you are storing. A common mistake made by people is that they assume that "bigger is better" and often they sign up for a particular storage space provider thinking that they are getting a good deal because they are getting x amount of space for x number of dollars. However, the grim reality is that unless you actually physically use that space, then you are simply wasting your money.
Outdoor storage units are simply not suitable for items which are susceptible to the ravages of the climate and the weather, and this includes the likes of paintings, clothing and documents. The last thing you want is for your priceless manuscripts from George Washington, or the accounting balance sheets for your business suddenly warping and becoming spoiled due to the climate.
If you are intending to store valuable items, such as a boat or other type of vehicle then you may want to make use of a self-storage unit which has a high security presence, whether this takes the form of a security alarm, security camera(s) or even guards.
Storage space for boats and vehicles differ. Some providers will only provide outdoor storage, which poses concerns as to rust for metal components of the vehicle, as well as the risk of vandalism and theft. Some providers will offer indoor storage for an added layer of protection and security, although such providers will tend to be more costly than their outdoor counterparts.
Regardless of the type of self-storage space you decide to use, make sure you take out sufficient insurance to cover the cost and value of damage to the items.
