We are on thin ice

We are treading on thin ice in America today. We have become too tolerant of wrongdoing and wickedness. We, God's people, have allowed the three most deadly and poisonous sins to be accepted as the "norm" in our country today. Abortion heads the list and its two traveling companions are homosexuality and the teaching of evolution as truth. All of these are designed by Satan to eliminate the presence of God in America.
They allow both the killing of the unborn and born alike.
Holy scripture tells us that the salvation of the present generation lies within the next generation to come.
In our physical bodies, when living cells die, they are replaced by other new living cells. The same holds true for the body of Christ.
When we die physically, there needs to be someone else alive to replace us on earth.
We are all members of his body by the fact that he created us all in his image. Sinners and saints alike, we are all members of that body. The saint chooses to be health for that body and the sinner to be cancerous. Remember, a cancer cell is a normal cell that receives misinformation from its control center (the nucleus) as a result of some fundamental error.
As sinners, we all require redemption. God died for all at Calvary. He wants his body to be totally healthy. In our physical body, the immune system is designed to protect us from harmful influences. In the body of Christ, we, as members, protect that body (our body) from harmful influences by avoiding sin. The Bible tells us in Romans 6:23 that the wages of sin is death.
It's time for all of us to rid ourselves of wrongdoing and return to the ways of the Lord. God promises us in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that if we humble ourselves and pray and seek his presence and turn from our wicked ways, He will hear our prayer, forgive our sins and revive our land.
Our land needs revival today more than any other time in the history of our country. We need to get off this thin ice and return to the solid rock, Jesus Christ. He is our only hope for our future.

ZZ Top to Tour U.S. With Gov't Mule
The two guitar-based acts will hit the road for a brief tour in September.
The two guitar-based acts will hit the road for a brief tour in September.
The lineup for the 12th Annual Mountain Jam has been released.
Nugs.net, the digital music service whose catalog consists of live performances from a wide variety of artists, has launched a subscription streaming component.
Gov't Mule looked none the worse for the wear through a brawny early-evening show today at Mountain Jam, despite having played a very late tribute to Pink Floyd.
The mighty Gov't Mule closed out Friday night's Mountain Jam lineup with a generous, faithful performance of Pink Floyd's 'The Dark Side of the Moon.'
The best cover projects build in a personal viewpoint, using early inspirations as a foundation for something that feels both old and new. Gov't Mule's 'Dark Side of the Mule' has done just that.
Gov't Mule offer fans a sneak peek from their upcoming Dub Side of the Mule project with this exclusive premiere of "Pressure Drop," featuring the legendary Toots Hibbert of Toots & the Maytals.
On Jan. 27, Gov't Mule will release 'Sco-Mule,' a document of their 1999 concerts with jazz guitarist John Scofield.
Gov't Mule rang in the New Year by devoting half of their show to AC/DC tunes.
Warren Haynes spoke with us about his upcoming Gov't Mule releases and his years with the Allman Brothers.

Breaking point story
Thank you to 4 Corners for such and emotive and accurate story on how the government of Australia treats our disabled. I have 3 kids 2 of which are autistic and I have had to fight extremely hard to even get them the basics. To get anything at all if you are lucky you have to go through so much red tape it is ridiculous. Please Australian Government start treating everybody in this country with respect and stop putting the disabled in the too hard basket.

Bonuses for Carers and DSP pensioners
Pension were given a arise? a small amount on a fortnightly basis. Where it used to be every quarter which was a substantual amount that we could do something with. the Housing rent will go up and it will take most of the rise even though i got a letter stateing it would not, if might not this year but next year when ones household income is calculated again they will take most of it back. yes! Kevin Rudd never said anything about taking away our $1000 and $600 bonuses we used to get. Do they really know who hard it is emotionally and physically hard it is to care properly for someone with a disablilitey I think NOT. they also do not realise how much euipment costs..most people i have spoken with think that disability equipment is free? well think again we do have to pay for it and anything with a medical lable is not cheap by any immagination. The bonuses should be continued on a regular basis. DSP,CARER and AGED pension should be given at least the fortnightly pension a week to live properly. by the time i pay the normal bills i would be lucky to even go on a outing, pictures or the like or even purchase a nice peice of steak in a fortnight? i dont think the politicians could or would be able to manage on what we get at all and maybe they should be given the pension for three months and see how they can manage. they want people to go on to private health care? that would take my whole pension to be covered. I have paid my taxes while working through my life as many others..we should be getting something for it?

4 Corners Trifecta
The past 3 4 Corners programs have been deeply relevant to my family.
As a carer with cancer, I fear homelessness for my children after my death.
16 Feb 2010 11:30:26am
Cut out the middle men!
Governments, "service providers" and agencies (such as the mis-named Family Advocacy) that urge carers to accept the status quo and lecture us on 'resilience' should be sacked. Basically they are not helping. With the money squandered on funding these, we could instead fund a full time housekeeper/respite worker in the home of every family with a disability.
16 Feb 2010 11:21:24am
Thinking differently
I was hearbroken listening to the families who are not receiving adequate support for their children. I was also distressed to hear that people are still thinking along the lines of instutionalisation and special schools. As parents we need to remove the blinkers preventing us from seeing other options available in the community. There are a number of small family governed collectives operating in and around Melbourne who are seeking a better life for their sons and daughters. I am one of those parents and can testify that my son is now living his life in a way that 10 years ago I would not have thought possible. We received assistance from a small project that has been hugely successful. Ironically, the Department of Human Services (who initially funded this innovative approach to supporting families) will not continue to fund this project. Where oh where is the logic? If only 4 Corners could do a story of all the people with disability that are living and working in the community successfully.

carer and son both with disabilities,housing issue
I am a carer aged 58 to my son who is 33 who has Austisum and Schizophrenia. I also have a disability and in a wheelchair. i get 2hrs a day for personal care. i have tried to get funding for my son no avail. I get told i am to young, not disabled enough or that my son is not ill enough?. I had my son down on the department of housing list for a few years but his condition got worse due to medication he was placed on and now he has a heart condition Cardiomyopathy and early signs of emphysema. My son was living with me and before my son became really unwell i had him on the department of housing list so he could become independent but his health declined really bad so i went to the department of housing and communicated that my son was not well enough to go into a unit of his own and that i wanted to put in for a three bedroom house this was to allow an extra room for my disabled euipment. i got a call a few days later stating that there was a unit for my son? i stated that i had come into the office a few days ago and stated my son was not able or well enough to go into a unit of his own and that i requested a three bedoom house>( what part of that can they not understand) they advise us to go into the office to discuss the matter. i went in all to be told that there was a unit available for me in the same complex and that if we did not take them we would be penalised. so we were compelled to take the units. the finance of this move has broken us both financially and mentally. We had a week to move when i did not have any money if it were not for friends i would not have been able to move..what would have happened then? We both had a dog each one of the dogs was left in a will from a neighbour who died and it was not untill we signed up for the units were we told that we had to get both dogs fixed (small male dogs). we had to give one up for adoption. We had to find double of everything e.g from two weeks rent in advance on each unit, electricity bond for my son, gas bonds on each unit. My son has deteriorated in his phsyical and mental health and is isolating himself, i now have two places to maintain. i have to travel from one unit to the other to give him his medication, morning and night. He sleeps most of the day, where when he was living with me he was at least venturing out with me. I only get the carers allowance as i am on DSP. he does not sleep very well at night. he does at times looses track of the day and the time. He has woken me up and stated he is going to find a job at 3am in the morning. When i have tried to tell him that it is in the early hours of the morning and that there is no shops or businesses open at this time he does not believe me and goes anyway. I then get a call to say he cannot find his way home? I am tired out and stressed with this arrangement when it could have been stopped if housing had listened to what i was saying and done the right thing. Now i have anothe fight on my hands for a transfer so both my

Carers programme 15/02/2010
I am 56 years old and am also a carer for my 19 year old intellectually and autistic son. I have had to fight for everything since he was small I feel the government doesnt care at all and we are out of sight out of THEIR minds All Kevin Rudd says is how good it was of them to give us a raise but they never say anything about taking away our $1000 and $600 bonuses we used to get. Do they really know who hard it is emotionally and physically hard it is to care properly for someone with a disablilitey I think NOT. I am also very worried about whaere my son will go if something happens to me. There is nowhere for him up here in the far north coast of NSW all he has to look forward to is a nursing home for the elderly. What life is that for a young person. We need tostand up for ours and their rights.

Four Corners
Many thanks to the ABC for airing yesterdays Four Corners broadcast.
As a father to a 4 yo severely disabled child I was happy to see the media shine the spotlight on our struggles. The ongoing battles with DoCS, DADHC and other government bodies drains our energies, which are barely sufficient to deal with taking care of our families.
Unfortunately, most families face a lifelong struggle with a child's disability, yet government is only capable of offering short-term solutions. It is an equivalent of offering a Panadol to a cancer sufferer, and we need a reliable long-term solution.
Because of our son's young age, we still face a long battle ahead, but also have a hope that the government will soon be able to address our children's future needs. It is an impossible burden to wake up every morning and worry about your child's wellbeing once we are no longer around to take care of him. And as it stands at the moment, our children will inherit the duties of tending to their sibling. They too have a right to a 'normal', happy and productive life.
Government can still react and work to change what is a potential unbearable epidemic facing its future. Let's hope they achieve the right results quickly and without involving political game play, and that us parent will have a more dominant voice in forcing the governments hand, should they procrastinate

Breaking Point - where the funds could come from.
It is clear that there is a great need for more support for families which children who are profoundly disabled. But there are also many different degrees of disability each of which requires its own, unique, form of support. These range from specialised facilities to at-home or in-school support - all of which require funding.
Would $1 billion or $2 bilion help? Why not reduce Commonweath funding to priavte schools by that amount. It would still leave the private schools with billions but the lives of these needy children and their families would be transformed. After all, who needs it more?

People with disabilities
I object to your hubristic claim that Four Corners is 'Investigative Journalism at its Very Best'. This piece of 'research' is so superficial, so hi-jacked by one group of parents at a residential school that is a throw-back from 1970s care approaches and so NSW-centric. Of course there are thousands of people with disabilities whose parents have not received the support they need and deserve. But to suggest that archaic practices of congregate care and special education is the best solution for people with disabilty is arrant nonsense. Desperate parents will seek any solution to their impossible situation. People with disability, no matter how profound, deserve a better solution than just being bundled together with other people 'just like them.' After 30 years in the disability services sector (and the brother of a person with a profound disability: yes, blind, deaf, cerebral palsied and intellectually disabled (just like the person on the story) I am personally and professionally gutted by the tenor of this story. What is the point of trying when all that is proffered is sub-standard residential care options that offer no future for people with disabilities that their loving and desperate parents so deeply crave? On the international disability stage, services in the UK are seen as quite old-fashioned. Yet, Four Corners promotes them as some sort of world best practice. My own disability service supports some 200 people with significant disability to liver in their own homes and recreate in the general community. The solution to scant resources and poor programs is not to export people with disability to England: the solution is to defend minimum standards of service while fighting for adequate funding and resources. A national disability insurance scheme, along the lines of Medicare, will help to deliver both service surety and service quality.

Four Corners 15 Feb
How shocked I was to see the program - we have a government who gives billions of aid overseas and yet for the sake of 4 million dollars a wonderful home for the disabled is being closed down. How dare they ignore these young people whose parents are already under a great deal of stress - typical of Bolshevik governments - they would prefer all the disabled to be put down and also the aged. I am so sick of money being wasted and as I have always said - when the caring stops - who cares.

Breaking point - Deinstitutionalisation truth
When deinstitutionalisation became the catch-cry I was a young psychiatric nurse and it sounded great to me. I thought, however, that the institutions would be kept as back-up. Years later I understand that the philosophy of deinstitutionalisation was just used and abused as a cover for selling off public land to private interests. Deinstitutionalisation was an ideology to fit land-speculation. Nothing of the profits ever came back to the psychiatric and intellectually disabled people who once had the right to the facilities on the sold-off land. At the same time the staff who worked in the old facilities have been stigmatised as cruel and incompetent. Meanwhile new, inferior acute facilities with cramped conditions have been built and the staff have to pay a fortune for training and the training, even though university based, is also inferior.
It is all just a huge con in a society where government forces population growth to cause land-price inflation so that corporate developers and their hangers-on may profit. As the cost of land for housing and other uses goes up, so does the cost of living. Wages and pensions cannot keep up. The main reasons that our governments have problems meeting human rights obligations like housing, education and health is because they are running a commercial real-estate economy on the side, using our taxes. The mainstream print media doesn't report this because it makes a lot of its money out of investing in this, in global real-estate and associated industries. Television and radio are right into the associated life-style programs.
There is an informative article about how rising land-prices are ruining business and quality of life called "Cost of housing and cost of dependency...

Breaking Point
As a parent of a young person with a disability, I applaud you on such brilliant investigative journalism. I would like every Federal and State MP to spend a weekend with a family having a child/young person/adult with a disability, to walk in our shoes for JUST A WEEKEND. Perhaps such an experience will at least awaken their senses in looking at the future of such families rather than line their own pockets for salary hikes.

Breaking Point
It is unbelievable the sacrifices the parents of the disabled make, both to their personal freedom and to the relationships of the siblings of the disabled. The intensity of the care required and the lifetime duration of such care should not be borne by the families alone. The State has a responsibility to support people in these unfortunate situations and more of our taxes should be going to provide accommodation for these disabled 'children'. I watched with a smirk, the segment where Qld got a disproportionate amount of the funding provided by the Federal Govt.....19 beds,compared to NSW 7 beds and could only imagine such unfairness stems from the Prime Minister looking after his own.
The beds you get should be proportionate to the number of disabled the state has.
I just hope these poor families get some relief soon.
You're amazing people and the Government should be ashamed to have kept you dangling with empty promises for so long.

Breaking Point
I am in my 30th year working in the Disability Field across two states, and I have worked in many institutional settings, through changes in govt, to the deinstitutionalisation and then to the community programs. I believe unless clients are in permanent government accommodation they and their families are forever "up against it" and unless they have a very strong will, time and persistence, they will receive bare minimal assistance. As they say" the squeaky wheel gets the oil"' and that is never truer that in this field in the present time.

breaking point
Marilyn & I were school friends, but I never really realized how hard it was for both Marilyn & Dick caring 24/7 for Robbie. Now I do understand as my husband & I have taken on a 7yr old autistic & intellectually delayed boy whose mother died tragically last year. We did this because there seemed to be no one to take him, he was & still is suffering great trauma and grief. He has improved some what, & he is a more happier boy, but is still a hand full and the only time we can relax is when he is asleep. It is hard to think we constantly have to negotiate respite ( I realize its expensive for the govt) but we just need the break, and at the moment we are spending hours every day transporting him to school; we are negotiating to have him move to a school closer to our house, this has been a long drawn out process & we are at breaking point ourselves doing such long travel. We have had to resource most of the services ourselves, & although a Godsend it is extremely time consuming. My husband & I still work & really cant afford to live on a carers pension.
I though 4corners did a good job in highlighting the problems that families of disabled children face.
The general public have no idea how hard it is to have 24/7 care of a disabled child, believe me we never really understood; there are far too few good services that one can access. OB

Ground Hogs
We "saw" this show 4(?) years ago - the results of 10(?) years of "Howard devolution and neglect" - at that time the personnel of this government held out hope.
How cruel are they, we don't seem to have progressed at all? These Australians need help now, not in 10 years.
If this was a "sexy issue" there'd be money found "some way".
How ironic, Thatcher could do more for these poor kids than this mob.
There's a growing list of underachievements from this mob to match "Howard's non-core promises" - and that's making it much easier to vote for a mob with ATM's for hearts, which in turn makes one more comfortable bitching about the party you've come to expect to implement "every man for himself policies".

NORTHFIELD, N.J. Fifteen minutes west of the Garden State's gambling and entertainment Mecca is the 271-acre Birch Grove Park, an oasis not only from the madness of Atlantic City, but the hyper-accelerated residential development that is eating up what remains of the surrounding woodlands.
Under the auspices of the growing municipality of Northfield in southern Atlantic County, Birch Grove Park (609-641-3778) offers a combination of 50 campsites (2-way and 3-way hook-ups available), a nine-station nature trail, hiking trails, picnic groves and ball fields.
But it is the 21 ponds ensconced within the property that are the real draw.
Hand-dug lakes
Dug by hand back in the early 1900s to extract the rich clay soil to meet the demands of the Somers Brick Company, these elongated "pits" range anywhere from ¼ to 5 acres and are as deep as 30 feet.
Structure consists primarily of weeds, lay downs and stick-ups, with overhanging brush and branches adding to the holding cover.
Trout stockings
The Birch Grove ponds are stocked with trout once preseason (450) and again four times in-season (340 per dose) for a total of 1,810 fish.
Adding to salmonid larder are the holdover trout from the November winter trout-stocking program when 500 rainbows are liberated into the stained waters.
Although only the first ponds get stocked, the inter-connecting canals allow the trout to disperse. As a result, trout can be caught just about anywhere, although the bulk of the catches are made within the front 10 pits.
"During April and May, the trout fishing here can be unbelievable," states Vicky Rutter, the vivacious park superintendent, "and its great again during November through December."
Other species
Largemouth bass and pickerel fishing ignites as May progresses, and positively explodes during the summer season.
"The Birch Grove ponds are loaded with prime forage like golden shiners, sunfish, small bullheads and frogs," said Chris Smith, state southern region fisheries biologist (856-629-4950).
"And I wouldn't doubt that the bigger bass and pickerel consume the occasional stocked trout."
Bass in excess of 5 pounds can be expected, with thick chains stretching beyond the 2-foot mark by no means uncommon.
Get there
Birch Grove Park is easily reached via the Garden State Parkway to Exit 36 southbound.
Bear right off the exit (Tilton Road) and follow four traffic lights to Burton Avenue (a Napa auto parts store will be on the right).
Make a right onto Burton Avenue and follow .6 of a mile. The park entrance will be on the right.

Wonderful flavor unlike any other beef stew we have tried: the curry, ginger, mustard, and mixed spice (aka pumpkin pie spice in the US) reminded DH of a fall cake during roasting. I would call this Australian as it combines typical English spices with Asian spices. In the US, beef gravy is called beef shank (sometimes cross-cut beef shank), and I used well-trimmed center cut shank (although the Australian gravy cut is boneless). The skirt steak is the thin strip coating the ribs just behind brisket cut at the front legs, and is much more tender than flank steak that is toward the rear from the skirt (it also has more fat, just as the rib roast on the top of the animal has more fat than the loin cut behind it). My beef shank cost $4.99/pound, but that includes the cross section of the front leg bone and lots of silverskin and tendons that require trimming (but could go into the freezer to save for beef stock). My skirt steak was $16/pound, and that seemed costly. This meat casserole cries for potatoes and veggies to round out the meal, so don't forget the sides. The meat was very tender and passed DH's gristle test. In the US some say that skirt steak is hard to find because the Applebees restaurant chain corners the market. Next time we will try some chuck beef roast which can usually be found on sale and is easier to trim. Or I might buy stew meat to save time. We loved this combination of spices! Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game.
This is one of my picks for the recipe swap #2. And this has been pronounced "GOOD" by my three boys ages 13,11,and 10. I agree with them. Most of my recipes for beef with gravy are flavored by onion,celery,garlic. But the warm spices in this round out the flavor even more. The only problem I had was not with the recipe itself but the measurement conversion to american. The amount of meat was a little unclear. I could see that this does have a lot of potential for meat pie, dumpling stew etc. A very nice recipe. Thanks for sharing.

Medicare Secondary Payer:
Improvements Needed to Enhance Debt Recovery Process
GAO-04-783: Published: Aug 20, 2004. Publicly Released: Sep 20, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(312) 220-7767
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Last year, employer-sponsored group health plans (EGHP) were responsible for most of the nearly $183 million in outstanding Medicare secondary payer (MSP) debt. MSP debts arise when Medicare inadvertently pays for services that are subsequently determined to be the financial responsibility of another. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) administers Medicare with the assistance of about 50 contractors that, as part of their duties, are required to recover MSP debt. GAO was asked to determine whether Medicare contractors are appropriately recovering MSP debt. GAO (1) assessed the cost-effectiveness of the current debt recovery system and (2) identified CMS's plans to enhance the recovery process. GAO analyzed workload and budget information and assessed plans to develop a new debt recovery system--the Recovery Management and Accounting System (ReMAS).
Medicare's system for recovering MSP debt from EGHPs is no longer cost-effective, with CMS recovering only 38 cents for every dollar it spent on recovery activities in fiscal year 2003. This is largely due to workload and budgetary factors. While the number of new debt cases referred to contractors has declined by more than 80 percent since fiscal year 2000, CMS's budget for contractor recovery activities has remained relatively unchanged. As a result, contractors were funded at a level that exceeded their workload. Almost half of the contractors that CMS funded to process the 7,634 cases associated with the fiscal year 2003 workload were assigned fewer than 50 cases--and eight were not assigned any. The current system is also constrained by procedures that prevent contractors from maximizing recoveries. For example, CMS has instructed contractors not to pursue cases in which the amount of mistaken payments made on behalf of the same beneficiary is less than $1,000. In addition, CMS neglected to transmit more than 2,000 cases to the contractors--which depend on these transmittals to initiate recoveries--during fiscal years 2000, 2001, and 2003. CMS is developing a new recovery system--ReMAS--to enhance the MSP recovery process. This system has the potential to help increase savings, provide CMS with greater flexibility in distributing the workload, and simplify the collection of MSP debt. ReMAS is designed to identify relevant mistaken payments and will generate a case that can be assigned to any contractor for recovery--not only the contractor that processed the mistakenly paid claims. However, ReMAS has been under development for over 6 years and is currently only being used for liability and workers' compensation recoveries by a fraction of the contractors. Pilot testing of ReMAS on EGHP cases will not begin until October 2004.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In July 2007, CMS reported that the employer-sponsored group health plans (EGHP)and non-EGHP functionally within the Recovery Management and Accounting System (ReMAS)has been implemented. On October 1, 2006, CMS awarded a contract to process all Medicare Secondary Payer(MSP)EGHP and non-EGHP recoveries. The MSP Recovery Contractor (MSPRC), Chickasaw Nation Industries, Inc. Administration Services, LLC (CNI), will consolidate all post-payment MSP services previously administered by over 40 individual Medicare intermediary and carrier contractors. The MSPRC became fully operational on October 2, 2006.
Recommendation: The administrator of CMS should develop detailed plans and time frames for expanding ReMAS to include EGHP cases, and expedite implementation of the EGHP component of ReMAS.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In July 2007, CMS reported that it awarded a $44.6 Million cost-plus-award-fee contract for Medicare Secondary Payer Recovery Contractor (MSPRC) services to Chickasaw Nation Industries, Inc. Administration Services, LLC (CNI). The MSPRC will consolidate all post-payment Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) services previously administered by over 40 individual Medicare intermediary and carrier contractors. The MSPRC contract became fully operational on October 2, 2006.
Recommendation: The administrator of CMS should improve the efficiency of MSP payment recovery activities by consolidating the EGHP workload under a smaller number of contractors and ensuring that contractor budgets for EGHP recovery activities more closely reflect their actual workloads.

I have not had an internship yet, but plan to in the future. Southern will help you find an internship that is right for you. Southern also offers students the chance to study abroad through the Adventist Colleges Abroad (ACA) program. By taking advantage of the ACA program, Southern students can study for a summer or a full year in the U.K., France, Germany, Austria, Spain, Argentina, Italy, South Korea, and several other countries. Southern also promotes missions and community service. By working through the Student Ministries department, students can travel the world by signing up to be a Student Missionary for a semester or whole year with many different ministries and organizations.
At first i was majoring in Marketing, I did not feel as though that was my calling. It was quite simple to switch majors and find something that was closer to my personality field. All I had to do was apply for it and switch my classes.
never had one as of yet but I am hopeful as this is my senior year
I love the psychology program. The faculty, workload, and curriculum is great
Southern Adventist University provides many jobs and many types of jobs; mainly to give many students good work ethic and help provide them with the money need to cover the costs of the college. They also do provide hands on experience to many of their students so they can grow towards their goal/degrees in life. They even have great missionary programs

Is marriage for you? Supporters, critics respond to viral blog post
"Of course, there are benefits to it — I don't think he's denying that — but you can't go into marriage with the mindset of demanding to be catered to and making everything all about you and expect it to work out."
One criticism that has been mentioned by several bloggers is the interpretation that only one person in a relationship needs to do the serving.
"Focusing solely on your spouse's happiness — without regard to your own — leaves you wide open to being bulldozed," Aaron Anderson wrote on goodmenproject.com. "As a marriage counselor, I have seen so many spouses who are so wrapped up in making their spouse happy that they don't recognize that they're being bulldozed."
Other critics believe only one spouse in most relationships needs to hear Smith's advice. Emma Cueto at Bustle.com expressed her opinion that Smith's piece should be geared toward men.
"I don't disagree with Smith's advice, per se, but I do think that the issue of selflessness in relationships is a very gendered one, and to suggest uniformly that all people need to think less about themselves is to ignore the fact that, historically, selflessness has been demanded of women in relationships," Cueto wrote.
"Women have been expected not only to stay home to look after the house and raise the children, but people assumed that such a selfless role would be fulfilling for women because they are women."
Amid the critiques, blogger Matt Walsh responded positively to Smith's post, offering encouragement.
"Seth, stay strong, brother. Your message was true, urgent, and 'old fashioned,' which is why it's met with so much anger by all of these tolerant, 'open-minded' folks," Walsh wrote.
"I understand what you were trying to say. It was easy to understand because you stated it pretty clearly. And, sure, married people are still selfish. Married people in successful marriages still struggle with the urge to be self-absorbed. Nobody is making any Utopianist claims here. But the point — not just Seth's point, but THE point — is that we have to fight that inclination and always work to serve and love the person we've married."
After an appearance on "Good Morning America," Smith's relationship advice was also evaluated and supported by relationship coach Donna Barnes.
"First of all, this guy got great advice from his father because I think anytime you're feeling anxiety and that kind of stress, if you can take the attention off of you it will help relieve that anxiety," Barnes said.
"If you're constantly trying to make your partner happy, and your partner's doing the same, you'll both always be happy, and it'll be the best relationship you ever had."

In order to avoid being Bluebeard's next frozen bride, Anne must find a way to outwit her murderous hubby.- Written by Leo Urbina

A novel ball bond process optimization method based on the thermal response of an integrated aluminum microsensor is reported. The in situ temperature during ball bonding is measured and analyzed. The ultrasonic period shows distinct stages corresponding to scrubbing of the ball on the pad, intermetallic bond growth, and ball deformation by ultrasonic softening. A peak of the signal indicates the end of interconnection growth. This can be used for bond time optimization. When optimizing bonding force, the sensor signal correlates with ball shear strength. Using this method, bonding force process windows can be determined by on-line measurements. A test measurement shows that at a chip temperature of 34°C, the bonding force optimized by the microsensor method is 260 mN whereas it is 252 mN when using conventional shear testing for optimization. In summary, the method produces a wealth of new insights in transient thermal phenomena of the ball bonding process and promises to simplify the evaluation of process windows
