Welcome to my ----- life
A beautiful broken aura
Unsettled flakes
The sound of yesterday
Shattered winter glass
Transcend to the unconscious mind
Frozen, dead, yet alive
Hell, escapes my future of eternal suffering
Tiny buttons of snow -fall to my feet
Firewood burns endlessly,
The hairs of her soft skin rise like wheat
Shadows by hand flip the hourglass
The possibility of change takes --- need
She stands on the outside of my dreams
Looking in;
Quietly she summons the cold legion
Confused, trying to cleanse her soul
She wipes off old fingerprints
White glitter, forgotten notes
Spiritual spells enhanced in a quiet villa
Shadows of hands toss the glow
Daydreaming inside another dream
Falling flakes in hopes of peace
A warm bedded cabin sits at ease
Observing, breathing, mind settling
Swirling into an earthy feel
Another long downward drift
Shadows of hands set the tide
She awakens, sharing the stars
She mocks the sun, her eyes sparkle
Covered in snow - aging peacefully
She fibers to soothe her soul
She reeks, neither heaven nor hell
Temporary punishment, rattling thoughts
Captured in a transparent globe
Passing through a purgatory world
No walls, no in between
Falling far from the echoes of life
Sacrificed by death before salvation
Transcending to the unconscious mind
Shattered winter glass
The sound of yesterday
Unsettled flakes
A beautiful broken aura
Depart from my ----- life

It took place shortly after and the stage was set
before words before ink before heavenly breath
There was a rain on the parade
of eternal monotony
and the angels were elated
In the Beginning God created... the verse everyone knows
tantalizing phrasing that leaves you on your tip-toes
before grass before plants before earthly foes
And the earth was without form... (and talk about void!)
It was there when it was all lightning and storm:
chaos untamed in watery upheaval,
though the celestial walls were impermeable
Enough disarray to make a grown man weep
And darkness was over the surface of the deep...
It was there before it was given the title: Sea
Before light was birthed with a "Let there be"
Blanketing the earth with cerulean comfort
in preparation for ethereal tickles,
despair happy to take her wings
And the Spirit of God was hovering...
Like a golden eagle dipping down
into azure pools
knowing mountains will soon rise from your depths
... but LOVE is the requisite
... and HOPE is the heart of it
Just like the weather that's about to hit the scene,
before Pangaea performs in emerald green
... and there was morning the Second Day
Can you not hear your doubts just wash away?
---remember what happened on the Third?
I'm sure you do---
As you see Him reaching down with liquid love for you,
longing to invigorate your being
He wants to split you in half
as the Rod of Moshe
made watery walls of crystallization
He longs to enter into your towering trust
(and not just on occasion)
For sometimes the Water of Life is dramatic
Sometimes it's not
And sometimes your fears could use a little irrigation
(right now your eyes could use
a bit of prayerful precipitation)
Remember the ruby water that dripped down
the Face of the Son
that fateful day
Drink it in Become full
Indulge in humble hydration
Your heart will tell you what you should
And behold it was very good...
NOTE: Moshe is the Hebrew rendering of the name Moses.

I am the hypocritical Christian.
I say I follow Christ,
But I'm still consumed by my demons.
I go to church on Sunday,
But I refuse to invite someone back.
I want to serve on mission,
But I'm too afraid to act.
They think I read The Bible,
But I just fall asleep in it.
They think I'm positivity and smiles,
But underneath I'm death and addictions.
They think I'm clean and pure,
But I'm broken and mistaken.
I say I'm not worthy of His love,
But Jesus will never let me be forsaken.
I pray long prayers,
But inside they're empty repetition.
It might look as if my faith is strong,
But my core is too easily shaken.
I say the things I'm supposed to say,
But don't follow His actions or obey.
I speak the truth the church wants to hear,
But deep inside on matters I don't know what to believe.
I walk in shame as if I'm not good enough
To be loved by God and saved through Christ,
But there is nothing I could ever do to earn His peace;
It's a free gift.
I accept;
Now forgiven, changed, and released.
Thank You God,
Thank You Jesus,
Thank You Holy Spirit!
In Jesus' Holy Name,
We pray,

God is always love
Forever seek the kingdom;
Praise the creator
Keep giving what you can give
Please endure until the end
Beautiful Heavens
Protecting the meek ones earth
Watching over us
Helping us to cope with life
Comforted with hope and trust
When you find rhythm
You find your hearts inner core
Celebrate the times
Make them better than before
Reminisce and dance all night

The sweetest sounds of burning trees
A gentle stroking in the breeze
The calm has lasted past the storm
Cloudy visions, Satan's roar
Too many sights have passed my way
A time found only in the haze
The softest screams are running bare
My aching bones creak as I stare
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark
The battle's started at the end
No one is coming to repent
The sinners grab their wine from prey
No judgment calling here to stay
The sport is reckless to be told
The one is laughing at his souls
It falters nowhere to be sure
The power grows forevermore
Like a spirit in the wind
I have no say in where you've been
But cross the line to come to me
And pay the price for ecstasy
You walk a distance towards me
The fall's eternal, can't you see?
I'm a memory in your heart
I whisper to you in the dark.

The days seem to go by so fast. there is a void in the air, the birds have lost their vibrant beat, the ocean has lost its luster, the soil feels solid and dry.
My soul feels as if it has left my body before my death, my dreams haunt my day, the tears stain my steps, my doctor says that it is depression, I say that it is reality, I am intoxicated by society,I am numb by perscriptions.
Why do I feel so isolated within myself? is there no one in my painfully tight shoes? can anyone understand my pain? can anyone melt in my sorrows? why am I this way? why is the world so cruel? why can't I be normal?
Wait! I am normal, what am I saying, I know now, the veil has been lifted, humanity is my enemy, the sins that drip from their sweat, the dread that follows their shadows, their souls of black, their intentions of greed pull a shade across their eyes.
They are destined for doom, they will not be saved, they will not find salvation, they belittle me, they curse me, they shame me, but they are right about one thing, I am different, unlike them, I will be saved in the last days.

Bob had been a lonely man ever since
His wife of fifty years had passed.
"Lord, let me join her." he would pray.
"Let this day be my last."
Each day, he went to the cemetery,
Just a short walk down the street.
After their talk, he would water her flowers
And hear passers-by whisper, "How sweet."
One gray and misty morning,
He had hoped for sunnier skies
To plant fall bloomers at her graveside;
But there, to his surprise…
Stood an old dog beside her stone;
Thin and dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as Bob approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as Bob planted flowers,
Carefully sniffing each one Bob put in place.
Then, after the last one was planted,
He sniffed it; then turned and licked Bob's face.
Bob smiled. "I had a dog when I was young…
Pal…he was a mighty good one too.
So, if you don't mind old fella,
That's what I'll call you."
Pal may have been an old dog,
But he was smart and handsome in his way;
So they made a deal, Bob would give him a meal
And a bath, if he decided to stay.
Pal loved his bath, then rolled in the grass.
He slept on a blanket in the den.
In the night, he dragged it next to Bob's bed.
He intended to be Bob's best friend.
Pal was such a good dog, housebroken too;
Never made a mess or got in trouble.
He knew about newspapers, slippers and Frisbees;
And when Bob called, he'd come on the double.
Yes, Pal gave Bob's life new purpose.
A special bond of friendship was cast.
And never again did Bob pray,
"Lord, let this day be my last."
For twelve years, the very best of friends,
Together night and day;
And so it was, until one evening,
Pal quietly passed away.
Bob held Pal in his arms and wept.
"Oh, Pal…my best friend…you saved my life."
He caressed Pal as he reminisced;
Then, sometime in the night, Bob joined his wife.
The next morning, an old woman,
Tears welling in her sad and lonely eyes,
Brought fresh flowers to her husband's grave;
But there, to her surprise….
Stood an old dog beside the stone,
Thin an dirty, but he struck a handsome pose.
He whined as she approached, as if to say,
"I could use a friend, you know."
He sat calmly as she took old flowers
And put fresh ones in their place.
He carefully sniffed the fresh ones,
Then, turned and licked her face.
She smiled through her tears.
"I had a dog when I was young...
A good one too. His name was Pal."

Money money, ringing in your tills,
Calling us to worship,
The hundred dollar bills.
Bend our knees in wonder,
Bow our heads in awe,
At the power of the liar,
Who now controls us all.
From the darkest deep caverns,
To the stars in the sky,
From the infinite universe,
To the strangers passing by.
From your inner most conviction,
To your laughing in the night,
From everything you 're seeing,
To everything out of sight.
The new God has risen,
To claim the holy throne,
The one that we have emptied,
Our hearts all cold as stone.
The throne that we have emptied,
We killed the rightful king,
Sold his crown an sceptre,
Pawned his sacred ring.
Raised his bleeding body,
Up on that bloody hill,
The silent lamb still bleeding,
As the money fills your tills.

Faith is a powerful thing,
asking for absolute trust.
It allows you to believe
that you are not all alone,
here in the shadow of death.
In times of persecution,
some souls have little else.
And yet it's unshakeable.
Praying perpetuates hope,
opening your heart to God.
When you first feel Him enter,
everything in life changes.
Routine tasks take new meaning,
filling existence with purpose.
Until then you felt empty,
languishing in misery.
The love between you and God,
has only strengthened your faith.
It's His love that sustains you,
not the words of those that say
God is nothing more than myth.

The Lord is good
His kindness endures forever
And His faithfulness, to all generations
I am Reality's angel
resting on the broad shoulders of discovery
the truth feeds darkness and engulfs its target
ideas and concepts in turn become meaningless to you
there is a creator of all things
He is just and patient
many still have fallen into the masses of shadow
wrapped in their own filthy idols of philosophy
I have seen grown men fall like rose petals
and weaklings rise into unjust leaders
forever the follower of furtive evil
dominating only to remain inferior
the most important answers lie in the unseen regions
where no sense can fully give assurance
the mind that so many unreasonably twist and turn
grows weary because of the distance it must take
and truth be told the distance is not what frustrates
it is knowing we are seeking something far
that could very possibly not exist,
that our minds can twist into theoretical, idealistic nonsense
it is knowing all we really think we know
is meaningless
and yes—even a lie
all that has been written thus far rests under my wings
under the warmth in which you refuse to feel
can you believe in me—
though I am completely unseen?
how much more difficult would it be to see

God of Light
I awaken
In the dark of night,
And face my lord
The God of Light
Who guides me
Thru the haze of pain,
And takes on him
My guilt and shame
My comfort
As he takes my hand,
And shows me
How to rise and stand
Sinless, blameless
Once again,
Because He chose
To call me friend
A wretched man
Though I may be,
He offers fellowship
To me
I lay no claim
To being just,
He gives me grace
In trade for trust
For any man,
Without the mercy
Of "I Am"
The song of God
Is in my ear,
Calming each
And every fear
He sings
His weary child to sleep
This loving shepherd
To his sheep
Protected from
All earthly harm
As I slumber
In his arms
No longer frightened
By the night
My father
Is the God of Light

The Spiritual harmony of the Soul
notes I hear early morn
Better life may be the earnest goal
yet weakness comes when born
Sunlight sends its beauty to me
birds sing a morning tune
Life begets its wonderful mystery
beautiful as light of the moon
Each day imparts lessons to learn
hours gifted to be alive
Work done, midnight oil to burn
on love one can thrive
Life now sends me gifts anew
dances with a true love
Discoveries very old and true
all sent by our God above
Gleanings for the Soul to tend
salvation depends not on you
For true love man must depend
On our Savior having paid all our due!
Robert J. Lindley, 10-15-2014
Man is a lost traveler , searching for a calm port in the midst of a raging storm.
His spirit cries out for relief,
for a saving belief,
for love and sweet life to be a norm
Alas, tis not to be
life is oft a stormy sea
no refuge from it to flee
unless with faith , true salvation is plea....
simply, sincerely ask and will be granted to thee....

Lord., I've Been Hurting!
This one thing I am
most certain…
Lately I've been really hurtin'.
I trying to do right, but it
turns out "wrong."
Where, in life,
do I really belong?
So many people
pass me by.
Sometimes, someone
may say; "hi!"
I don't know if this message is
getting across?
I feel so confused and
completely lost.
A message of "help" has my
prayer and plea…
For God to reach out to me!
He reached down and
made me whole!
HIS love and compassion
filled my soul!
Spending time with Jesus
is time well spent!
It was for you and me that
Jesus was sent!

Dear Jesus… I realize
how much I really need you!
I want to honor,
love and trust you!
I know that others will
disappoint me…
I know that you're here….
And will take care of me!
Your principles of holy
living is what you taught!
Love, Joy and peace…
is what you brought!
May I bring honor
to your name!
Your message of salvation,
I need to proclaim!
Dear Jesus… You're all I need!
And so much more!
It's you that my life
was meant for!
I offer to you, my lord,
praise and thanksgiving!
For all you've done,
And the life you're giving!
You all I'll ever need!
The anointed one!
There's victory in YOU!
Life's battles are won!

Release me from reality
This brand new world of tragedy
That I can see
But rather fight the beast of immortality
Wait don't you see
Let Jesus be for he's the one that fights for me
I talk to god to hide my mind from time to time to save me
I beg of thee O great father
Just take me to your palace please
Forsaken me and take of me what need it be to change these things
If nothing happens shelter me
Protect me with your legacy
And let me see the way that I can change this world of tragedy

Inspired by the movie "Miracles from Heaven (2016)"
Live life as if a miracle
Open your eyes you'll see
Undeniably biblical
It's truly gluten-free
Some might be skeptical
Views might be apolitical
Everyone has their own say
No one stops to enjoy the day.
Take a look at the biological
Even Einstein could not disagree
Right before you all this time, give praise and thanks to Thee.

The gamecock is fit for the fight,
its strength conditioned for the night,
nothing drowns the fears.
The lector's whip has left its sting
They turn deaf ears as lashes ring,
mirth amid the sneers.
The matador has done his job,
no one can hear the bull heart's sob,
the selfish crowd cheer.
A beach full of dead jelly fish,
Ever ponder 'bout their last wish?
no one sheds a tear.
The Son of man hung on the cross.
We shamed His Kingdom, it's our loss.
The mob came to jeer.

The blessings we share,
The reasons we care,
Are praises that He spread.
The life that we live,
The gifts that we give,
Are glories to His stead.
The story is told,
What a rugged road,
The cross from which He pled.
He shared the good news,
His words are the clues,
For reasons that He bled.
Open your heart,
Let this be the start,
To hear what Jesus said -
I will cry for you,
As I die for you,
I will rise for you,
To leave you hope.
All I ask of you,
Hold Me close to you,
I will save you ....
That's what Jesus said.

If Brahma is Brahma I also am Brahma,
then why am I wandering on a not real way
holding something I don't know in my hand?
I can lead my life toward good
because everything is Brahma, but I can live
an evil life as well because everything comes from my ego.
If Brahma is Brahma I can cross over the ego
bury myself in meditation,
though it may be a lonely
and a trying way.
Gather ashes from six* burnt senses
and walk on the nonexistent way
because I am a naught substance,
though to be in a mode to attain spiritual awakening,
my ego, stands in the middle of good and evil
unable me to shake off tenacious carnal desire,
it compels me to keep walking on the path of evil passions
and if the terminal goal of life's never ending circle is
an attainment of spiritual awakening,
and spiritual awakening is to walk in light,
the brightness is the way;
however, paradoxical, in a sense, is also true
stupidity and ignorance though lay in the darkness,
it may also be the way. Yet, the problem of life is
still laying under my foot; and that is the chain of anguish
which would never, ever, be cut off;
I, therefore, collapse on the way
while dragging the chain of a great weight
it may be the end of anguish, a knot of a life's circle,
or a moment of a pause in the ever changing world,
or it may well be a renewed life in Faramita the world of Paradise,
or the beginning of another anguish in the transmigration of the soul,
and that's why I believe the nonexistent substance is the way
to Brahma which is one same substance.
Tat tvam asi, I am the Brahma
Tat tvam asi, That art thou
*Six senses: five basic physical senses plus soul or intellect.

In my travels among the roads of life,
I stumbled upon pathos, sadness and strife,
Sometimes I headed down the byway without a thought,
Not caring of the consequences and misdeeds which brought
Broken promises, hurtful words and lack of trust,
My soul cried out in despair dear Lord reach me if you must.
This spirit of mine was begging for a new life and a clear path to follow,
I prayed to Jesus on my knees to cleanse my soul of wallow,
Asking him to lead me to the passage of righteousness,
And that the despair was replaced by the light of blessedness,
It was a welcome beacon at the end of the rocky climb
For Jesus helped me shed the sins of grime.
I was led to the fork in the road by our Lord and His Son,
Showing me the direction of hope which had begun
A new lifetime to develop a bridge of spiritual strength,
Growing stronger each day and spanning the length
With a heart filled with faith, joy and blessed assurance
And knowing that the walk is guided by love and endurance.

I am climbing up Moriah
with the thing I love most dearly;
on the mountain's heights above me,
I will see my God more clearly.
Incredible expectation!
For with the knife and holy fire,
I must on a stony altar
bind up and slay my heart's desire.
O, this God of mine, all knowing!
Past my finite mind can see
in the distant, vast eternal
all that He destined I should be.
Only He can make a promise,
and He fulfills each sovereign vow;
though He slay me, I will serve Him.
He led me here, I'll trust Him now.
The knife is raised; beyond the void
I dare not cast my weary sight;
I can hear no gentle laughter
in the deep canyons of the night.
I will look instead at Jesus,
and His command I will obey.
There are rams in all His thickets;
He is the Christ, the same always.

—Brahma eva idam visvam(1)—
A life neither has beginning because beginning is Brahma
or end because end is Brahma, it rides on a wagon named Karma(2)
and goes as a wheel whirls.
I came to this very spot becoming a sun, a moon and the stars
following the stream which carries anguish, and one day
I must cross; since it's impossible to see the past because
there is no beginning or end, I wonder how to manage a day
when everything changes without beginning or end;
I came this far becoming a sun, a moon and the stars
and wandering in a wasteland looking at the bridge
beyond eternity.
In this barren soil:
though flowers bloom, they smell of death
that tempts to ruin me;
though there is a spring,
it's bubbling sand seen in a mirage to intensify my thirst;
though there are fruit bearing trees,
the taste of fruit is more bitter than Eden's forbidden fruit;
though there are snows,
they come as a blizzard and pierce the skin to tear it to pieces.
Since Brahma is on the other side of Elysium
no matter how much you wander in this boundless barren land,
though it may seems within hand's reach, you would never be able
to touch; because your anguish, the reality of life is nothing more than
pursuing a pain, a spinning of a wheel of Karma.
Although my body is worn out
I have no place to lay my body down;
although my wounded soul is wailing
no place to bury my soul to rest,
and if this is my Karma to be accepted,
how do I untie these entangled knots of anxiety.
I exist, therefore my six(3) senses feel and perceive reasons,
then, how do I denounce this Sabba,(4) or deliver from suffering,
for that is the reason I exist.
All phenomena, however, to undergo everyone as Atman(5)
carrying their own Karma, because Brahma is everything
and Karma is the footmarks of ever changing mundane world.
1. Brahma eva idam visvam: Brahman, indeed, is this world-all. 2. Karma: destiny.
3. Six Senses: five basic physical senses plus soul or intellect. 4. Sabba: this world.
5. Atman: soul, ego, or I.

I miss who I once was and use to be
Bound by darkness, I long to be set free
Trapped by solitude, surrounded by pain
Nothing but heartache and sorrow to gain
A spiritual warfare, raging from within
Closer to despair than I have ever been
A battle that carnal man could never understand
As I struggle to hold to God's righteous hand
The days are long, the nights are longer
God please help me to grow stronger
I have grown tired and weary in this fight
As dimness overshadows your guiding light
I scream so loudly but no one hears
Is this my cross put before me to bear
Where are the prayers of the righteous man
Have they been traded for worldly pleasures at hand
My only hope is to see eternity begin
But, how do I live my life until then
This wicked world full of dangers and woes
As I beg for this feeling to be loosed and let go
How I pray for your peace that surpasses all understanding
Trade my tears and sadness for joy everlasting
To walk with the sunshine upon my face
In exchange for this cruel, dark and lonely place
God only you have the supernatural power to heal
I cry out to you, falling to my knees I kneel
How long must I suffer in darkness alone
As my will to fight is all but gone
Lord, you never promised that the cross would not become heavy
That the way would not become rocky and would not always be steady
However you promised to catch me if ever I should fall
To hear my cries, my prayers and my late midnight calls
Lord, I know I must suffer as you suffered too
But the carnal in me cries for the Savior in you
I know there is purpose in this storm that is raging
I know for me, your heart must be breaking
Reach out to me as you did Peter from the water
Guide me steady, eyes on you and never to falter
Fill me with hope and the promise of a better day
And the faith to move mountains when I pray
Lord if my time on earth should continue to linger
Lift me from this darkness, despair and danger
Heal me, leaving only battle scars to bear
A wounded soldier, at last, resting in your loving care

Adam was the first man,
perfectly made
But he did not have a godly nature
to resist the supreme tempter,
Adam left us, his children, a legacy of sin
Disobedience wrought devastation,
and death became mankind's unwelcome friend
Who in the world can save us
from the clutches of death?
Who in the world can deliver us
from taking our last breath?
Son of Man,
yes, the Son of Man can
Son of Man,
the second Adam
Adam was a living soul,
unable to stop death from overpowering him
Dust to dust,
back to the grave
Lord, we needed someone
who had the power to save
Son of Man,
heavenly made
He had the power to defeat death,
He had the power to save from the grave
The second Adam
was given dominion over all things
He made death impotent:
O death, where is your sting?
Son of Man,
yes, the Son of Man
has the quickening spirit
Life giving, soul saving spirit
Singing everlasting life, can you hear it?
Son of Man
Get to know who He is
Learn everything about Him
that you can

You're wearing the cap with the crooked cross emblem,
hoisting your neo-Nazi flag high
You dream of a revived Fourth Reich kingdom,
hoping that you see it before you die
"Hate your neighbor" is your rallying call,
it's the opposite of what Jesus Christ said to us all
You hate them all equally the same
Foreign nationals
You hate them all, no matter what their name
"Love thy enemy" is what Jesus Christ said,
you're the polar opposite, you want them all dead
Mark yourself an antichrist
Always wished you were at the crucifixion,
you would've nailed in the spikes
Consider yourself a true Confederate to the cause,
proud of teaching your children how to hate when they're small
Kill them dead,
kill them all,
That's the drunken song you sing
in your "Members only" beer hall
It's the Anti-Christ anthem,
it's pure ancient antebellum
You love to sing your favorite rebel rousing song,
you love to hear it being played all day long
Kill them all,
kill them dead
It's the bloodlust song always playing in your head
It's the Anti-Christ anthem,
it's pure ancient antebellum
Bring back the bygone days of butchery and bedlam
Whenever you hear the Anti-Christ anthem,
you pledge your soul to be a disciple of Satan

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. Story 1: Korak saves a white man from a leopard with an arrow through its heart. The man, Jeremy Carter, is a art teacher who is traveling in a small airplane to find scenic views for his work. He reports to Korak that he saw from the air a white girl being held captive by the Bakusi tribe in a volcano cone in the middle of their lake. The three fly back by night and land on the lake out of sight of the village. After eluding guards they steal a canoe and paddle out to the volcano. Though there is a cave entrance from the water, Korak and Pahkut decide to scale the sheer cliff rather than risk a trap. They leave Jeremy behind to wait. Once at the top of the crater, Korak and Pahkut have to descend another sheer cliff to reach the interior. Korak spies the white girl dressed as a priestess holding a ritual at the geyser in the middle of the crater. Afterward, while she walks along the waterside alone, Korak approaches her to rescue her. Lucille was the daughter of a missionary that the Bakusi killed before they took her to the volcano a year before to be a priestess of the geyser god. Lucille can't climb, so the three have to go through the caves to reach freedom, where the other Bakusi god, a gigantic vulture, is kept. They come upon three priests preparing to sacrifice Jeremy to appease volcanic disturbances. Korak strikes the bird in the breast with a spear while Pahkut, on its back, mangles its throat. The bird dead, they have to then best the three priests. Moving on through the caves to freedom, they come upon Lucille's father, still alive in a cage. Together, they make it back to the plane, where Korak and Pahkut bid the three adieu.Story 2: While searching for the missing Pahkut and Torkut, Korak watches tribesmen row out to their island in a lake with a captive baby elephant. Thinking they may have taken the two apes, Korak rows out by night and attempts to free the elephant, but is captured by warriors and taken to their queen the next day. She sentences him to the "warrior's test" as his punishment for theft. Armed with a bow, spear and shield, he must run down a gauntlet that is fashioned from two high hedges. First he bests two armored archers by shooting one in the foot and the other in the hand. He comes to the two apes, chained in his path as an obstacle. He then must swim past a gigantic crocodile to reach the finish. He kills the croc and then swims away, taunting the queen. He swims back to shore in half an hour and musters the ape tribe as well as some elephants. They swim back to the island by night and crash into the village to rescue Pahkut and Torkut.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Creativity flourishes within fixed boundaries.
However, within the MMO space I feel it is strengthening to the community logevity to let these things be born from action and not planning.
EVE has massive factions created by huge groups of players that came together like particles of dust forming planets in space.
In fantasy one can imagine any species excelling in any field. There are always the flukes and the mutants. If you limit the players too much you will create troughs in which players will find themselves falling into.
From a story sense it makes a lot of sense to have 3 distinct starting zones and storylines that blend with the (we hope) open world. Characters (NPC) within the game can attempt to lead the players down certain paths of development depending what species/faction they belong to. If at leat some of the players are suade by this then you will see a difering relation of character types between the factions. Something we would all welcome from an immersion standpoint. There should be more Altmeri Mages than Barbarians, that's cannon.
I prefer a psychological motivation rather than a mechanical one when it comes to trying to sculpt diferences in the factions.
We all know too well that balancing is always the biggest issue. If there is to be a RvR type pvp element to the game then mechanical differences can be a nightmare to manage.
Either way I dearly hope TESO maintains the racial skill and attribute bonuses from the series. Even if they are a new amalgam of the previous stats that are better suited to a MMO.

Yeah but the war should have never been racial, it should've been 3 different groups. Everyone would start in the same area as they do now. Each of the factions would own said areas. It would be easier to join the faction in the area you started out with but you shouldn't be limited to that faction. The racial war doesn't even make sense cannon-wise.
The one thing that I keep seeing is the argument about the class differences on the factions. Keep in mind that in this game, there aren't any classes. The races may have a predisposition to a style of play, so that Elves, for example, may have a larger number of mages, but that doesn't preclude them from donning heavy armor and picking up the sword and board and becoming a truly formidable warrior.
I honestly don't think the factions are going to play a major factor in who's better in RvR, since the choice on how you are going to play your character is based soley on how you play the character. I think the hardest part, personally, is going to be sticking to one thing, and not creating a character that's just a complete mish mosh of skills and abilities.
As for the groups that are the factions, if you read the lore about how they came about, and the time frame the game is in, it does make sense. It's not about race, it's about location. If you take the Dark Elf, Nord, Argonian alliance for example, ESO has flat out stated it's an alliance of convienience. The Breton, Redguard, Orc alliance pulled the orcs in as heavy lifters, because they knew they'd need it. There's no racial connection. The only alliance that is racially based is the Elf/Khajit alliance, and that's just because the elves are so long lived they've basically decided it's time they took it all back, especially since they built the place to begin with.
I do like the idea of being able to switch factions, but I'd make it insanely hard. Something that would take a long time to complete. You have to figure that the first part would be getting from one land to the other, without the inherent *regional* biases stopping them. Then the person would have to prove that they were loyal to the new faction, and overcome the same biases before they were allowed to join.
Purely from a gameplay standpoint, I could see one issue being that this same thing would make RvR more complex and more confusing. Not necessarily a bad thing from a player perspective. Is that wood elf part of the normal faction or my enemy? It certainly would be more realisitic to be sure.

This, a thousand times, this! I don't know how many times I've used a class or weapon and everyone complained how OP it was and it gets nerfed...but I'm still using it, and still wrecking shop.
The locked factions really shouldn't bother anyone for a very simple reason - the devs have created a world that has a particular political standing at the time we enter it as players. The alliances, etc, exist before our character is "born".
The game is based around war - a war with random factions for personal, random reasons has no weight, and does not tug at the sense of injustice or wrongness that motivates diverse people to participate. You can RP your views, whatever they are, and try to change the world - that's also part of what makes a game great! Changing the world is epic, whining that God (or the devs, in this case) didn't make it right and sulking is just dumb.

|Visited for the first time in many years. The beer range was the normal Youngs and was in excellent condition. The place was starting to get a bit tatty and one serving area had been taken over by (wine?) boxes which reduced the space to order from. It's not really been the same since Youngs stopped brewing and changed its focus but still one of the best pubs in the area.

|Long time since I've been in here and pleased to report its exactly as remembered. Vanity screens in tact. Very, very busy.
Managed to get a seat on this visit and on noting they did food and I was starving, thought I would give it a ok.
Really good service and the meal was excellent value. So, pleased with that.
Beer was decent - £4.05 for Youngs Special.
Worth checking out.

What are Human Strains?
What are human strains? Does OptiBac Probiotics use human strains?
Are human strains superior?
When discussing probiotics, the term "human strains" is a rather vague one. It typically refers to a probiotic strain that is derived from the human body.
The scientific definition of a probiotic (Live microorganism which when administered in adequate amounts confers a health benefit on the host) does not stipulate that to be a probiotic the microbe must have a human origin, or be a "human strain". Probiotics must be able to exert their benefits on the host through growth and/or activity in the human body (Collins et al., 1998; Morelli, 2000). It is therefore the action, and not the source of the probiotic microorganism that is a key factor in choosing a probiotic. The ability of a probiotic strain to remain viable at the target site and to be effective in the human gut should always be verified and tested.There are in fact many examples of effective probiotic strains which are not recognised as normal residents of the human gastrointestinal tract. For example, no strain of Saccharomyces boulardii could be described as a "human strain", and yet this species has been shown in numerous clinical trials[1] to benefit human consumers.
There is absolutely no existing scientific evidence that human strains are more capable of binding than non human strains. As "human strains" tend to come from the human faeces, this fact in itself acts as evidence of their capability to survive intestinal transit; a key factor when considering a good probiotic. It does not, however, provide evidence that they can adhere to or colonize the human gut more effectively than a strain which is not considered to be of human origin.
At OptiBac we do not therefore consider the the question of "human strain" to be a relevant criterion for selecting an effective probiotic.
However, for those of you who are still curious, here is a list of our probiotic strains and their specific origins:
Dairy Origin:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus Rosell-52
- Lactobacillus casei Rosell-215
- Lactobacillus paracasei Lpc-37
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11
- Lactococcus lactis Rosell-1058
Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-175
Human Origin:
- Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM®
- Lactobacillus acidophilus UBLA 34
- Lactobacillus reuteri RC-14®
- Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1®
- Bifidobacterium bifidum Bb-02
- Bifidobacterium bifidum Rosell-71
- Bifidobacterium breve Rosell-70
- Bifidobacterium breve UBBBr-01
- Bifidobacterium infantis Rosell-33
- Bifidobacterium infantis UBBI-01
- Bifidobacterium lactis Bi-07
- Bifidobacterium lactis Bl-04
Bifidobacterium longum UBBL 64
Fruit Origin:
- Saccharomyces boulardii
NB. For those concerned about dairy sensitivities, some of the OptiBac range may contain small traces of dairy and are therefore not recommended for vegans or those who are severely allergic to dairy. However we do recommend the whole range for those who are lactose intolerant, as the amount of dairy is negligible, and probiotics aid the digestion of lactose. For further clarification, please see the FAQs.
For more information on the OptiBac Probiotics strains, see Our Probiotic Strains.

Binah Baum
Dear Sir, Madam
I am seeking the human equivalent of B. longum NCC2705 or B. bifidum S17
Your advice?
Kerry Beeson, Nutritional Advisor, OptiBac Probiotics
Dear Binah,
Thank you for your question.
Unfortunately, these aren't strains that we carry in our product range, and as far as I'm aware they're not currently available as probiotic supplements.
It's worth bearing in mind that the strains of bacteria used in probiotic food supplements are not directly sourced from human faecal samples; they will just be strains that were originally extracted during the early research into probiotics from healthy human stool samples. Representatives from these strains have then been stored in microbiology banks, and from these original samples, new bacteria can be cultured under laboratory conditions using an appropriate fermentation medium such as dairy, soy, barley or other foodstuff.
Wishing you the best of health,

|Building mod_webapp
|Tue, 02 Apr 2002 17:16:44 GMT
I have made some progress on my original problem in that I finally realized I needed a complementary jar under Tomcat to receive and interpret WARP requests coming in from Apache. The problem is, with the Tomcat 4.02-01 binary version of mod_webapp.so, even though I get promising debug messages and I am now getting entries in my apache log under Tomcat, I am still getting seg faults. My tomcat logs reveal an unexpected packet header end, as a java.io.IOException. I have tried repeatedly to compile the 4.02-01 mod_webapp.so from source, without success. I am getting some error about a bare string or invalid operator, apparently somewhere late in the build, after APR builds, caused by a -Dtarget="apache" option. My experience with GNU build tools is not advanced enough to figure out what the heck is causing this. I am using the CVS version of APR, because the connectors sources tar ball I grabbed does not inlcude APR at all. I am more than a little frustrated by the inconsistent inclusion of the various connectors with the different releases of Tomcat. Under the 4.02 release, there actually is an APR tar ball, but it is labaled for 2.0.32, so I do not know if this is valid for 1.3, which I am running, or if it would be better than getting the CVS version of the connectors. I am not averse to getting the full APR and connector sources from CVS, but am understandably gun shy of anything new I might try not working, especially when it requires any additional labor. I have sunk the better part of a week into trying to get the WARP connector working between Apache 1.3 and Tomcat 4.0 with no clear success.

LIKE MOST footy fanatics, I've always hung on to every word of players and managers. Lately, though, they've become about as unfathomable as one of Jorge Campos's goalie's jerseys.
I blame it all on this percentage effort business, you know. Nobody can make head nor tail of it. If I recall rightly, in the good old, bad old days everything used to be plain sailing. Players and managers simply used to give their all. One hundred per cent effort and that was that. Game shot.
And now?
Put it this way - I hear it's even got Carol Vordeman stumped. And there was a time when the poor girl could calculate the odds of a Stig Bjornebye cross reaching the far post to three decimal places. And still find time to laugh at a Richard Whiteley joke.
Not any more, though.
They say it all started to go haywire about 10 years ago. Ironically, it's reckoned it was two of our esteemed old pros, Sir Bobby Charlton and Jimmy Greaves, who triggered it...
Guesting on Saint and Greavsie, it seems Sir Bobby was asked by Greavsie to estimate the extent of his own hair loss.
"Now then, Bobby, me old fruit, tell us all this then, me old cock sparra. How much of the old `barnet' would yer say has vamoosed up the Great North Road since our old England Under-23 days, then, eh mate?"
Overnight, the expression "110 per cent" was born.
Once unleashed, the phrase spread like baby oil on Sir Bobby's pate. Soon 110 per cent itself seemed scarcely sufficient to convey the players' efforts. Before long, even the likes of big Jan Molby and Matt Le Tissier were said to be cruising at levels of 140-150 per cent, making them fleeter of foot than their counterparts from bygone eras.
Relativity in time and motion, they termed it.
Take big Jan himself. Ponderous to the naked eye, maybe. That, though, was a mere optical illusion. Compared with his predecessors, the guy was a gazelle. If not quite a blur, then certainly faster than Francisco Gento. Even carrying a crate of Heineken.
Confused? Then join the club.
Nor was it any less bemusing down the other end of the pitch.
Take Willie Young. You remember Willie? Accused of bringing down Paul Allen in the 1980 Cup Final? Well, he never did. "That's right, you heard. Our Willie was innocent." The same relativity principle has now proven that at the time of the incident, he was, in fact, still disembarking from the Arsenal coach in the Wembley concourse. Evidently the last step alone took him 40 minutes to negotiate.
Now is that slow or is that slow? Bizarre, too, I'd say.
And it gets more bizarre the further back in time we go. An example? Try Paddy Crerand. It now transpires Paddy was such a slowcoach he actually spent his entire career running backwards.
Can you credit it? And here's us thinking he always used to run sideways.
And so, to today - and perhaps the most bewildering percentage of all. Kevin Keegan, it seems, has pledged to give 1,000 per cent as boss of England. That's right, one thousand per cent.
Astonishing, eh? And him only part-time, too.
Even more astonishing, though, is the effect Kevin's latest claim has had on Paddy Crerand. Evidently, the poor guy was last spotted disappearing up his own backside in sheer desperation.
Mind you, given his chronic lack of pace, that's probably no bad thing, you know.

GIZ has been active in Honduras on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) since the 1960s. International experts, development workers, CIM experts and 70 national personnel are supporting the development of the country.
With a population of over 8 million, Honduras is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Almost two thirds of the population live below the poverty line. People in rural areas are particularly affected by extreme poverty and unemployment.
The country is characterised by an unequal distribution of income, property and land, extremely high rates of crime and violence, corruption, clientelism and general legal uncertainty.
The challenges facing international cooperation include:
- raising the level of education and increasing productivity;
- improving the efficiency and transparency of state institutions;
- protecting the population from recurring natural disasters;
- conserving natural resources.
The overarching objectives of the cooperation between Honduras and Germany are poverty reduction and sustainable development. Our activities in Honduras focus on the following two priority areas:
- education (basic education and non-formal vocational education)
- environmental policy, conservation and sustainable management of natural resources (community forest management and adaptation to climate change).
The Honduras Global Network project promotes knowledge transfer, innovation and cooperation between the private sector and the scientific or academic community in Honduras.
GIZ is supporting the Supreme Court of Auditors in improving the public finances system.
GIZ International Services (GIZ IS) is providing advisory services to an EU project working on modernising the forestry sector.
GIZ activities also include cross-border projects:
- Reducing emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (REDD)
- Combating climate change through forest conservation in Central America
- Renewable energies and energy efficiency in Central America (4E, EnDev)
- Tropical forest protection and watershed management in the Trifinio region

Aims Atherosclerosis in venous coronary artery bypass grafts begins early and accelerates from the fifth post-operative year. We studied the influence of 18 variables existing at the time of operation, and of 'classical' risk factors present at 1 and 5 years after operation on the long-term outcome of this type of surgery.
Methods and results Four hundred twenty-eight consecutive patients who underwent isolated venous coronary bypass surgery between April 1, 1976 and April 1, 1977 were followed prospectively. Follow-up was 99.3% complete with a mean duration of 22.8 years for the survivors. Multivariate analysis was performed using the Cox regression model. Actuarial survival after 5, 10, 15 and 20 years is 95, 83, 63 and 47%, respectively. The cumulative probability of event-free survival for cardiac death, acute myocardial infarction and re-intervention at 5, 10, 15 and 20 years, respectively, are 98, 90, 74, 60%; 99, 91, 83, 77%; and 97, 86, 67, 57%. Age and left ventricular functions are continuous incremental risk factors for mortality. Left ventricular function and completeness of revascularization, and age and vessel disease are independent predictors of cardiac death and re-intervention, respectively. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity and smoking, present after operation have an independent influence on the occurrence of cardiac events.
Conclusions Risk factors (still) existing 1 and 5 years after operation have a negative influence on the long-term results. This emphasizes the need of treatment of these 'classical' risk factors still present after operation.
Surgical myocardial revascularization is a well-accepted treatment in patients with severe angina pectoris unresponsive to maximal medical treatment. It also prolongs survival in certain subsets of patients with coronary atherosclerosis.1 At the start of coronary artery surgery, in the 1960s, only venous conduits were used. However, the patency of these grafts diminish over time.2–4Because in the first 5 years after operation the patency of internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts is higher and the attrition rate of these grafts after these years is lower than in venous grafts, exclusive arterial revascularization is preferred.3 However, it has not been proven beyond doubt that the excellent long-term results of the left IMA graft may be extrapolated to all other arterial conduits.5,6 Even today saphenous vein grafts continue to be used in combination with arterial conduits. As vein grafts are considered 'the weak link' in the long-term follow-up, it remains very important to recognize the pre-operative risk factors as well as the risk factors present after surgery. Treatment of these factors may further improve the long-term outcome of our operated patients. For this reason we once again up-dated the long-term results of a single cohort of consecutive patients who underwent coronary surgery in 1976–1977 and who we have now followed prospectively for more than 20 years.
The clinical and angiographic definitions as well as the surgical technique have been described in detail before.7,8 In brief between April 1, 1976 and April 1, 1977, 428 consecutive patients, 383 men and 45 women, with an average age of 52.6 years (range, 20–74 years), underwent isolated venous aortocoronary bypass surgery in our hospital. In 61% of the study-population the severity of pre-operative angina was class III–IV CCS. At coronary angiography three-vessel disease was demonstrated in 48% of the patients, and in 12% significant left main coronary artery disease was present. In 21% of our patients left ventricular function was moderately or severely diminished. Unstable angina pectoris was the indication for surgery in 27% of the patients. A total of 650 single grafts and 328 sequential grafts with two or more distal anastomoses (mean 3.2 distal anastomoses/patient) were placed. A left ventricular aneurysm resection was performed in 25 patients. Complete revascularization was achieved in 78% of the study-group.
Follow-up and data collection
Several follow-up methods were used simultaneously to provide the most complete information possible. All patients were followed using the anniversary method at our outpatient clinic and/or the outpatient clinic of the referring cardiologist. The common closing date was the final quarter of 2001. Exact information about the clinical events studied was obtained in all patients. Follow-up was 99.3% complete. The mean duration of follow-up for the survivors was 22.8 years.
For all patients, the presence of 18 variables was determined at operation. One and 5 years after operation the presence of 'classical' risk factors were ascertained in the patients who were then still alive.
Statistical analysis
The following clinical events were studied: overall mortality, cardiac mortality, acute myocardialinfarction and re-intervention. Patients not surviving the operation were excluded from analysis. Likewise, peri-operative myocardial infarction was excluded from statistical analysis of myocardial infarction during follow-up.
To determine the influence of the variables at and after surgery on the long-term results after venous coronary artery bypass surgery we produced three statistical models. The model starting at surgery expresses differences in event rates between times of surgery until the end of follow-up. In the models starting at 1 and 5 years, respectively, after surgery, clinical events which occurred within 1 and 5 years, respectively, after surgery were excluded from analysis and differences in event rates were calculated from 1 and 5 years, respectively, until the end of follow-up. In these models, the data on classical risk factors achieved 1 and 5 years after surgery were used. The other risk factors were assessed at surgery exclusively.
Differences in event rates between the sub-groups of variables were estimated in actuarial survival curves following the method described by Kaplan and Meier.9 The log–rank and Wilcoxon tests were used for univariately comparing survival probabilities. Variables with a p value <0.10 were entered in a multivariate 'proportional hazards' model proposed by Cox.10 Age was always entered in the multivariate model as a continuous variable. For each variable, the assumption of proportional hazards was checked by estimating plots of the logarithm of the cumulative hazard. The risk of having an event in one sub-group compared to another sub-group is reflected by the hazardratio.
During or within 2 weeks after operation, 13 patients died (peri-operative mortality: 3%). Another five patients died in the first year and 19 patients between 1 and 5 years after operation. So, the variables of 415, 410 and 391 patients were studied in the three different statistical models (Appendix A).
Actuarial survival after 5, 10, 15 and 20 years was 94.5±1.12, 82.9±1.85, 63.3±2.37 and 47.0±2.46% (mean±SD), respectively. Actuarial survival of the healthy Dutch population matched for age and gender in the corresponding time period was 95.2, 88.4, 79.1 and 67.1% (Fig. 1). In the first 7 years after operation the survival in our patient-population is comparable to the survival for the normal Dutch population, matched for age and gender. After these years the mortality in our patient-population exceeds the mortality of the matched Dutch population. The overall mortality rate is fairly constant in the first 7 years after operation, with a mean of 1.1% yearly. Thereafter mortality increases, especially after the firstdecade of the operation, to a yearly mean of 3.5%.
Age and left ventricular dysfunction are continuous incremental risk factors for survival. Incomplete revascularization has an influence on overall mortality but loses this in the years after operation. The number of distal anastomoses, as expression of the severity of coronary atherosclerosis, influences overall mortality after the operation. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus present after operation are independent predictors of survival (Fig. 2).
Cardiac survival
Cardiac survival after 5, 10, 15 and 20 years was 97.5±0.77, 89.9±1.52, 74.3±2.26 and 59.9±2.60%, respectively (Fig. 3). In the first 7 years after operation the mean mortality is 0.5% per year. Thereafter it increases to a yearly mean of 2.8%.
The left ventricular function and the completeness of revascularization are continuous incremental risk factors for cardiac mortality. Three-vessel-disease loses its influence on cardiac mortality 5 years after operation. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus are late independent determinants of cardiac survival (Fig. 4).
Acute myocardial infarction
The actuarial freedom from acute myocardial infarction after 5, 10, 15 and 20 years were 98.7±0.56, 90.8±1.48, 82.6±2.02 and 77.1±2.37%, respectively (Fig. 5). The peri-operative myocardial infarction rate was 6%. In the first 3 years after operation none of the patients suffered a myocardial infarction. In the following 2 years 1.3% patients were hospitalised due to a myocardial infarction. After the first 5 years of operation the mean attrition rate for infarction is 1.5% yearly.
There are no continuous incremental risk factors for acute myocardial infarction. Patients with sequential grafts only have an increased risk for suffering a myocardial infarction. Five years after operation this 'risk factor' loses its influence. The same holds true for patients with hypertriglyceridemia. Obesity is an incremental risk factor only in the first years after operation. Patients (still or again) smoking shortly after operation have an increased risk for suffering a myocardial infarction (Fig. 6).
The actuarial freedom from re-operation 5, 10, 15 and 20 years after operation was 96.5±0.91, 85.5±1.83, 66.7±2.69 and 57.2±3.09%, respectively (Fig. 7). In the first 6 years after operation the need for re-intervention is low with a mean of 0.6% per year. Thereafter this rises to a mean of 2.8% per year.
Age and vessel diseases are continuous incremental risk factors of need for a re-intervention after the initial operation. Left ventricular dysfunction has a late (negative) influence (Fig. 8).
Aim of the study
Within the first month after coronary bypass surgery venous grafts may occlude due tothrombosis and/or technical failure. Between 1 month and 1 year after operation, intima hyperplasia takes place in the still open graft. Thereafter, the development of atherosclerosis in the vein grafts starts which accelerates after the fifthpost-operative year.11
Approximately 15% of saphenous vein grafts are occluded within 1 year. In the following 4 years the attrition rate is low (1–2% per year), but thereafter graft closure is 2.5 times more frequent.2–4,11,12 So, atherosclerosis has an influence on venous graft function, beginning in the first year and augmenting from the fifth year after operation. This was the specific reason and in fact the aim of the study was to see if the classical risk factors existing at 1 and 5 years after the operation did influence the long-term results after venous coronary bypass surgery. For this purpose the models described in statistical analysis were created.
The peri-operative mortality and myocardial infarction rate in our patient-group was corresponding for those found in other studies of patients who underwent venous coronary surgery in the same time-period.13
Survival of our study-population did correspond favourably with heterogeneous groups of patients reported in the literature.1,14 In this study in the first 7 years after the operation we observe a survival of our patients comparable with that of the normal Dutch population, matched for age and gender. After these first 7 years the mortality in our patients starts to exceed the mortality of the Dutch population. This increasing difference in the following post-operative years is primarily caused by a rise in cardiac mortality. Also, the need for re-intervention does increase distinctly in the seventh post-operative year. This increase in event rates beginning approximately 7 years after operation has also been found in other studies.4,11,14 However, it is almost impossible to compare our results with other studies. There are no other prospective long-term follow-up studies with multivariate analysis on a consecutive group of patients who underwent coronary artery surgery with venous grafts only during 1 year in the mid 1970s. In the ACC/AHA guidelines for coronary artery bypass graft surgery (committee to revise the 1991 guidelines for coronary artery bypass graft surgery) it is mentioned that the equations for predicting patient-specific outcomes presented in the former guidelines remain appropriate for use. Amongst others we refer, for the results of our multivariate analysis, to these guidelines.
In this study age and, even more prominent, left ventricular function are incremental risk factors for overall mortality. A distinctly higher risk is found in a severely diminished as compared with a mildly diminished left ventricular function. In the ACC/AHA guidelines for the multivariate risk factor equation for death after the coronary bypass operation is referred to the data from the K.U. Leuven Coronary Surgery Program. Ejection fraction as manifestation of ventricular function is an incremental risk factor in the constant and late hazard phase. In the first analysis age was only a factor in the late phase of follow-up, but a more recent analysis in a bigger patient population revealed younger as well as older age being a risk factor in the constant and late phase.15
As in other studies incomplete coronary revascularization is an independent risk factor for overall mortality, but in our study this factor loses its influence shortly after operation. The number of distal anastomoses is a risk factor, but remarkably, not in the first year after operation.
It has been stated in the guidelines that the predictors of late overall and late cardiac death are identical. In our study this only holds true for left ventricular function and to a lesser extent for older age. We found incomplete coronary revascularization to be a continuous risk factor for cardiac death only. It is unclear why three-vessel disease remains a risk factor for cardiac death. After all, coronary artery bypass grafting neutralizes the incremental risk for premature death from multivessel disease including left maindisease.16
Other cardiac events
In this study there is no continuous incremental risk factor for suffering a myocardial infarction. It is remarkable that none of the incremental risk factors for mortality is a risk factor for myocardial infarction. It is known from other multivariate analyses that hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for myocardial infarction, but only in the latehazard phase.17 In the earlier mentioned studies, sequential grafting was not recognized as an independent predictor of myocardial ischemia after the initial operation.
In other studies incremental risk factors for the need for re-intervention after operation are not mentioned. In our study age is probably a 'physician-related' incremental risk factor forre-intervention, i.e. the physician probably decides not to consider re-operation in the very old patients. Presumably this also counts for left ventricular function. Anyway the statement in the guidelines that patients with ischemic left ventricular dysfunction benefit from the operation seems not to hold true in the case of a re-intervention. Notwithstanding the extent of completeness of revascularization, two and three-vessel disease remains an independent risk factor for recurrent myocardial ischemia, which is probably a manifestation of progression of atherosclerosis.
Classical risk factors
Only one 'classical' risk factor present at operation, hypertriglyceridemia, has an independent influence on the long-term result after venous coronary artery surgery. Other classical risk factors present 1 and/or 5 year after the initial operation have an independent influence on the long-term result after coronary surgery with venous grafts. Hypertension and diabetes mellitus present 1 or 5 years after operation are incremental risk factors for overall and cardiac mortality. Hypertriglyceridemia, present 1 year after operation is an independent predictor of the occurrence of myocardial infarction or the need for re-intervention after the initial operation. Obesity and smoking are independent predictors of re-intervention. Together these findings once again underline the importance of the so-called insulin resistance syndrome.
In the Post Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Trial 12 independent prognostic factors for atherosclerosis progression, present at operation, were found: among other high triglyceride level, low high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, high mean arterial pressure, low-ejection fraction, male gender and current smoking.18 The same investigators did demonstrate that aggressive lowering of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels reduced the progression in saphenous-vein coronary-artery bypass grafts.19 They also found a 30% reduction in revascularization procedures and 24% reduction in composite clinical end point (death, myocardial infarction, stroke, bypass surgery, or angioplasty) in patients assigned to aggressive LDL cholesterol level lowering therapy.20 Of course these results may not be extrapolated to have a similar effect on the treatment of classical risk factors present after operation. Although we did show a beneficiary effect of cessation of smoking after theoperation.21
In the first years after the start of coronary artery surgery, many angiographic studies were performed to objectify the result of surgery as well as to study progression of atherosclerosis in the grafts and in the native coronary circulation. If only new lesions were taken into account atherosclerosis in vein grafts may develop at an accelerated rate as compared with native coronary arteries. On the other hand no big differences were found in the rate of progression of atherosclerosis in vein grafts compared to all native coronary arteries. There is no difference in progression of atherosclerosis between coronary arteries distal to graft insertion and non-grafted arteries. Recent studies have shown that in patients with unstable angina, non Q-wave or Q-wave myocardial infarction after bypass surgery, the culprit lesion in the majority of cases (70–85%) is an atherosclerotic vein graftstenosis.11 Therefore late vein-graft atherosclerosis and occlusion is called the 'Achilles heel' of venous coronary surgery.14
Of course the number of patients included limits this study. It also concerns only a single centre experience. Because of the fact that the study was started (prospectively!) as early as in 1976, many of the presently known risk factors were then neither recognized nor treated.
It may be supposed that classical risk factors present at and still present after operation have a great influence on the development and progression of atherosclerosis in venous grafts. Based on our findings, we are convinced that treatment of these factors may improve the long-term results in patients with coronary atherosclerosis in whom one or more venous grafts were implanted during coronary artery bypass surgery.

The Statistical and Data Services Core (SDSC) will serve as the primary source of biostatistical consulting, analysis, and data management support for the proposed 2011-2015 National Alcohol Research Center. Continuing the SDSC component from the 2006-2010 Center. The core component provides an organized system for consolidating biostatistical and data management services, together with a formal departmental structure for handling requests for biostatistical support from within the Center as well as from within ARG in general. The current SDSC component has 3 biostatistical support personnel, with varying areas of expertise. The SDSC will continue to bring as consultants leaders in several areas of statistical analysis including the analysis of longitudinal data, item response theory, and the analysis of statistical mediation. Through the efficient consolidation of biostatistical and data management resources, the SDSC component proposes to support the Center's research goals in the following 3 ways. First, the biostatistical personnel in the SDSC will provide cutting-edge biostatistical and analysis support services to each of the Center's research components. This support will be provided throughout the process of survey design, analysis formulation and implementation, and finally to preparation of technical documentation, and aims to Improve Center-related grant quality. Second, a continuing training aim is proposed to further the goal of increasing the methodological sophistication of Center researchers through the development and implementation of a series of statistical courses that strengthen scientists practical understanding of the motivation, theory, and implementation of needed new biostatistical methods of high relevance to epidemiological alcohol research. In addition, Center researchers will be trained in the use of several statistical packages that Implement these state-of-the-art-methods. Courses previously offered by biostatistical personnel and consultants the current Center period were evaluated to be extremely valuable in raising the technical proficiency of Center researchers and will continue to keep staff up to date in this evolving field. Third, the SDSC will serve to provide database management to the Center projects such as the National Alcohol Survey. Services will include support for data security and training for data analysts In proper programming syntax and protocols.
The Statistical and Data Services Core (SDSC) component provides biostatistical support that is vital to carry out the public health research proposed in each of the Center's research components and in the National Alcohol Survey Resources Core. In addition to supporting Center-related analyses, the SDSC will implement an ongoing series of statistical training modules for researchers, targeted at the appropriate use of cutting-edge statistical techniques, disseminating these widely to improve public health research competencies.

Hi, well, we just missed the worst of the storm that roared through last
night. I'm hoping that everyone in its path made it through. We had
tornado watches until 2:00 a.m. There are no sirens since we usually
have few in our area. We ended up just going to bed. I was counting on
the dog to warn us. We had a beautiful balmy week...I opened up all the
doors and just let the breeze blow through...now it is feeling pretty
I got far behind in my fall planting and quilting with my three-week
gastrointestinal and ended up planting four items this evening just
before the sun went down: Aronia arbutifolia, Ceanothus americanus,
Gelsemuim sempervirens, and Lonicera sempervirens. I put leaf mulch
around them and watered them well, hoping that they will make it through
lower evening temperatures that are forecast for the rest of the week.
This year I added yellow snapdragons among my winter pansies and love them.
