WSU Law Professor Publishes Fourth Edition of Book
DETROIT (Sept. 13, 2007) – John F. Dolan, Wayne State University Distinguished Professor of Law, recently published the fourth edition of his acclaimed book, "The Law of Letters of Credit: Commercial and Standby Credits."
The book continues to receive words of praise from scholars and legal experts around the world. Some recent reviews include the following:
"Professor Dolan's treatise on the law of letters of credit is the most comprehensive work and one of the best authorities in the field in the world. It can serve as the "library' on the topic. With it on desk, readers almost do not have to go anywhere else for reference… Therefore, this treatise should be a necessity for anybody working in the field of letters of credit."
- Dr. Xiang Gao, China University of Political Science & Law, Beijing, China
"Scholarly yet practical; thoroughly researched and containing in-depth analysis; of immense assistance both on the level of principle and detail, theory and practice."
- Professor Benjamin Geva, Osgoode Hall Law School, York University, Toronto, Ontario, Canada
At Wayne State University Law School, Dolan teaches courses in commercial systems, property law, real estate financing, secured transactions and commercial law. In addition to teaching at Wayne State, he has been a visiting professor of law at the University of Michigan, the University of California (Hastings College of the Law), twice at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, at Ave Maria School of Law, and at the University of Maastricht. He was also a visiting scholar at University College Dublin.
From 1988 to 1991, Professor Dolan chaired the American Bar Association Letter of Credit Subcommittee and was a full member initially and, later, an ex officio member of the Task Force that studied letters of credit for the ABA from 1987 to 1989. He was an ABA adviser to the Drafting Committee of the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws that prepared the 1995 version of Article 5. From 1988 to 1995, he served as a member of the Study Group on Trade Documentation of the U.S. State Department Advisory Committee on Private International Trade Law. He is a member of the American Law Institute and from 1990 to 1995 he was adviser to the Restatement of Suretyship project.
Professor Dolan has co-authored several textbooks and law journal articles. He was a member of the board of editors and an officer of the University of Illinois Law Forum (now University of Illinois Law Review). He also served on the board of editors of Letter of Credit Update from 1985-1987. He is a member of the editorial board of the Banking Law Journal and the Journal of Payment Systems Law, and is a foreign contributing editor to the Banking & Finance Law Review (Osgoode Hall Law School, Toronto).
Professor Dolan graduated from the University of Illinois College of Law in 1965, clerked for the United States District Judge in the Eastern District of Illinois upon graduation, and then practiced law full time for 10 years before he entered law teaching.
Wayne State University Law School has served Michigan and beyond since its inception as Detroit City Law School in 1927. Located in Detroit's re-energized historic cultural center, the Law School remains committed to student success and features modern lecture and court facilities, multi-media classrooms, a 250-seat auditorium, and the Arthur Neef Law Library, which houses one of the nation's 30 largest legal collections.

Ten University of St. Thomas students traveled to Shanghai and Beijing as part of the study abroad trip to the People's Republic of China from June 11-24. Dr. Jon Taylor, chair of Department of Political Science, led the students and taught a course on comparative public administration.
While in Beijing and Shanghai, Taylor spoke with Party, government and university officials about the potential for future academic collaboration between UST and Chinese universities.
"I have been privileged as a scholar to make numerous trips to the People's Republic of China," Taylor said. "However, this trip was different because I was able to share my experience, knowledge and appreciation of China's politics and culture with our students. Leading our students around China is definitely more fun, frenetic and satisfying than sitting around with colleagues at an academic conference."
Political Backstage Pass to Shanghai
While in Shanghai, the group experienced lively question-and-answer sessions with the faculty and students of Fudan University's Institute for Advanced Study in Social Science and Tongji University's School of Marxism. In addition to universities, the group visited various government ministries, cultural sites and museums in both Shanghai and Beijing.
Nancy Li of Easton Resources Development, Inc. in Houston, provided the students with unique access to the Memorial Hall of First National Congress of the Communist Party in Shanghai, as well as the Hongkou Jewish Ghetto, the Shanghai Urban Planning Exhibition Center, the Shanghai World Financial Center and the Xintiandi development area.
History, Lively Discussion in Beijing
In Beijing, the group experienced the history, culture and politics of imperial and modern China. They enjoyed visits to Tiananmen Square, the Forbidden City, the Great Hall of the People, the Temple of Heaven, the Summer Palace, the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the Great Wall. Also, the group took trips to KBR China and a Beijing hutong – a 500-year old neighborhood north of the Forbidden City.
The trip to Beijing was also marked by a spirited discussion about Chinese and American politics with the faculty and students of the School of Public Administration and Policy at Renmin University of China. Study Abroad Defines Education
The students experienced China's unique sights, sounds and food, and formed friendships with the Chinese people – particularly college students. Each student has returned to Houston with a better understanding of the complex history and politics of China, relations between Beijing and Washington, the role of the Communist Party in governing the world's most populous nation and a strong desire to return to China as soon as possible.
Finishing up his Master in Liberal Arts in political science, David Williams celebrated the trip for the immersion into Chinese politics and history.
"As a grad student, the opportunity to travel to a country with thousands of years of history, the most dynamic economy in the world and a completely different ideology was one that I could not pass up," said Williams. "The experiences I took away from the historic sites, the unique neighborhoods, and the insight and questions of the professors and students we visited are things I will never forget."
Taylor said he believes students involved in UST's study abroad experience, be it in China or elsewhere, are impacted in many ways.
"Traveling and studying abroad may be that defining moment in your education that changes your life," Taylor said. "Nothing will ever quite be the same after you have experienced study abroad. You'll notice that your perspectives become a bit more global, your attitudes become a bit more international and you will have memories that will last a lifetime."

You decide!
A group of like-minded patriots, bound together by pride in American exceptionalism, plan on building an armed community to protect their liberty.
The group, named Citadel, intends to purchase 2,000 to 3,000 acres for the project in western Idaho. The community will comprise of 3,500 to 7,000 families of patriotic Americans who "voluntarily choose to live together in accordance with Thomas Jefferson's ideal of Rightful Liberty."
According to the Citadel website, Rightful Liberty means that "neighbors keep their noses out of other neighbors' business, that neighbors live and let live."
Citadel explains that residents in the community will be bound by the following:
Pride in American Exceptionalism
Our proud history of Liberty as defined by our Founding Fathers, and
Physical preparedness to survive and prevail in the face of natural catastrophes -such as Hurricanes Sandy or Katrina - or man-made catastrophes such as a power grid failure or economic collapse.
Residents should also agree that being "prepared for the emergencies of life and being proficient with the American icon of Liberty -- the Rifle -- are prudent measures."
Some of the benefits of the Citadel community include a safe, well-prepared, patriotic community where children will be educated in school, not indoctrinated.
The community will be protected by a perimeter wall that will be inaccessible to "tourists." Each neighborhood within the community will have lower walls, dividing the town into defensible sections.
The website has a link to applications where prospective residents can sign up. According to Citadel, more than 200 families have completed applications, even before any land has been purchased.
While Citadel may sound wonderful to many who are reading this, the community has posted a warning on their home page:
"Marxists, Socialists, Liberals and Establishment Republicans will likely find that life in our community is incompatible with their existing ideology and preferred lifestyles."
Citadel says that every patriot selected to live within the community "will voluntarily agree to follow the footsteps of our Founding Fathers by swearing to one another our lives, our fortunes and our Sacred Honor to defend one another and Liberty against all enemies, foreign and domestic."

The gov will put a stop to it or tax them out of existence. They won't let them handle things on thier own. Wouldn't want anyone to be self reliant. It would set a bad example to the folks the gov supports on our tax dollars.
Sounds like an ambivelant jail, as long as you comply and only think what is allowed to be thought. Doesn't sound much like what the framers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution had in mind.

Topman Design
Following critical acclaim at London Collections Men in June of last year, the Topman Design SS17 range has arrived. The collection proudly celebrates Britain and its glorious seaside towns and has a distinctly nostalgic summertime vibe. Taking inspiration from mods, teddy boys, pearly kings and queens and 80's casuals, the range boasts iconic motifs and beaded emblems for an original British twist. Classic sportswear pieces and bold beachwear feature alongside statement tailoring.


text: Any thoughts on the story of the lady that was found beaten in an elevator at a Mexican resort? The police say they found the culprit, but when I read his story, it seemed completely ridiculous and impossible. Methinks there's some major cover up happening here, and that this guy is a fall guy or something - being used to appease Canadian tourists who are more and more hesitant to travel to the country.. Thoughts? Is anyone else finding this whole story bizarre?

Hey Guys,
I wanted to make an official thread for the new 09" gauntlets run. Both ESB and ROTJ versions are now available. Sets come fully assembled. Rocket detail is available on request. Cost is $300.00 with US shipping included. International orders are $325.00 shipped.
New features include:
1. New hard Alumilite resin bottom sections to match upper sections (Saying good bye to vacuum formed versions. They were just to risky in the end)
2. Metal flat hinge design (More stable and reliable detail. Adds structural integrity too)
3. New metal/ nylon locking mechanisms (Say good bye to velcro closures. This detail makes for a more stable prop. Looks and feels like functional gear)
This will be a short run..finishing up more projects. Drop me a pm for further details. Thanks again.

Hey, hey! Are you all staying warm? I am sitting here with some coffee and my little space heater TRYING to stay warm. We got some snow last night and while I just LOVE the snow, I hate being cold when I can't cuddle up by a fire or in my warm cozy bed. But, I have a few things to share and thought I better get to blogging! So.. here I am. Freezing just for you guys.
So, I am sure you've all seen me mention a billion times that I am not a 'scrapbooker'. I am not exactly sure WHY I don't scrapbook. I have three beautiful monsters and a fantastic camera that I know how to use properly.. We do plenty of fun stuff to make memories of.. but yet, I leave folders and folders of photos on my computer and don't print them. I have TONS of paper.. I just don't 'get it'. I have tried several times to create a layout and 1 ou of 5 times ends up in something worth sharing. I see all these AMAZING scrapbookers who's style I love and I love what THEY do. But when it comes to my pages.. I don't want tons of journaling.. ink splatters.. giant flowers, etc. I just want it 'clean'. Then I stare at it forever saying to myself, "Is it done?.. It doesn't look done.. I am pretty sure I am sitting on my cat's tail right now…" Poor kitty. Really though. I just need to find a 'flow' and a style for ME and have at it. But, until then.. I have Echo Park's PHOTO FREEDOM!
I am FREEEEEEE… That's how I felt when I started playing with the Dear, Santa kit. I was SO stressed at first. I even contemplated asking our DT coordinator to be skipped for this DT assignment. Nope.. I sucked it up and found some cute photos to print. I laid them all out on the table with my Dear, Santa kit, took a deep breath, and jumped in!….. And I survived! Really, people. If you're like me and not much of a scrapbooker THIS is for you. No joke. I think my issue is trying to 'fill up' that big 'ol 12×12 page (I know you can do smaller pages, but I like the look of the larger pages). With the Photo Freedom kits that 'scary big page' issue is broken up into this little 'you can handle this' sections. Once I stopped looking at it as a big scary 12×12 sheet I had to fill up, it all came together.. a little section at a time.
I did choose to keep my pages simple and clean and focus on the pretty pictures. I absolutely HATE my writing (AKA: chicken-scratch) so I avoid journaling (Santa needs to being mama a typewriter!). I also wanted to show the collection nicely, so I didn't mix in much from other companies as far as stamps, alphas, and embellishments go.
So, here they are! My five Photo Freedom Dear, Santa pages! YAY!
My first page focuses on Christmas morning. (Gah! Seeing this makes me so excited for Christmas!! 12 days, peeps.. TWELEVE DAYS!!!!)
I love these die-cut numbers from Lori Whitlock! They were the perfect little added touch to my page.
The second page shows my youngest daughter getting her most wanted gift, a Nintendo DSi XL. She was THRILLED! Again, I added in some die-cuts and then a bit of some American Crafts white glittery alphas.
This page is all about gingerbread fun! I printed a 6×8 photo to split, which I think was a great idea! It's such a yummy photo and just needed to be BIGGER! For the 'JOY" card, I used my craft knife to cut out the middle of the circle to use as a frame. CUTE!
This one is my favorite, I think! I just love the aqua blue and teal! This page shows when our elf 'Snowflake' came and brought some Polar Express fun!
I printed the main photo onto textured Carta Bella cardstock.. came out GREAT! It's just a tad small for this section of the page protector, but it doesn't look bad. As you can see I die-cut some vellum snowflakes, added some stamping, etc. I really just love this little section!
This one.. to be honest.. is kinda 'eh' for me. For one.. it's a 12×12 full page (you know.. the scary 12×12 pages I mentioned earlier? lol). I just added a photo of one of my trees, some 'negative' snowflakes with vellum behind them, and some rub-ons. Nothing crazy exciting.
What do ya think? I was pretty excited to share this with you all! The whole 'pocket' scrapbooking is so crazy popular right now! So what about you?.. If you're a scrapbooker have you given this 'style' a try? And if you're like me and don't really scrapbook, have you thought about giving this Photo Freedom stuff a go? It really does make things so much easier!
You can see all the current and upcoming Echo Park Photo Freedom kits HERE. For a little how to on one of my pages (4×6 horizontal) you can get the free PDF download RIGHT HERE.
And before I let ya go, have you heard about the AMAZING giveaways happening over at SVG Cuts? You MUST check it out! A spectacular 12 days of Christmas giveaway packed full of amazing prizes such as; Sizzix eclips, Silhouette Cameo, Unity stamps, giftcards, paper and embellishments, a pile of buttons from Paper Play Studio (That's me!) etc. It really is amazing! Day 2 is under way so be sure to check it out! Yes, it's all happening RIGHT NOW! Good luck to all who enter!


text: During the coverage of the New Years Eve Gala in Oberstdorf last night on British Eurosport Simon Reed said that British Eurosport would not be showing any of the Winter Olympics. Did I hear this right ?. Why is British Eurosport so poor compared to the other European Eurosports ?. Figure skating regularly gets bumped for Tennis, Football & Snooker while other Eurosport channels show events live & in full. I have never know Eurosport to not cover an Olympic Games. Anyone have any info on this ?. What are British Eurosports plans for Sochi ?. Do we have to rely purely on the BBC come February ?.

From HaskellWiki
1 Product
Recall the construction of a cartesian product of two sets: . We have functions and extracting the two sets from the product, and we can take any two functions and and take them together to form a function .Similarly, we can form the type of pairs of Haskell types:
An element of the pair is completely determined by the two elements included in it. Hence, if we have a pair of generalized elements and , we can find a unique generalized element such that the projection arrows on this gives us the original elements back.
This argument indicates to us a possible definition that avoids talking about elements in sets in the first place, and we are lead to the
Definition A product of two objects A,B in a category C is an object equipped with arrows such that for any other object V with arrows , there is a unique arrow such that the diagram
commutes. The diagram is called a product cone if it is a diagram of a product with the projection arrows from its definition.In the category of sets, the unique map is given by q(v) = (q1(v),q2(v)). In the Haskell category, it is given by the combinator
We tend to talk about the product. The justification for this lies in the first interesting
Proposition If P and P' are both products for A,B, then they are isomorphic.
Proof Consider the diagram
Both vertical arrows are given by the product property of the two product cones involved. Their compositions are endo-arrows of P,P', such that in each case, we get a diagram like
with (or P'), and q1 = p1,q2 = p2. There is, by the product property, only one endoarrow that can make the diagram work - but both the composition of the two arrows, and the identity arrow itself, make the diagram commute. Therefore, the composition has to be the identity. QED.
We can expand the binary product to higher order products easily - instead of pairs of arrows, we have families of arrows, and all the diagrams carry over to the larger case.
1.1 Binary functions
Functions into a product help define the product in the first place, and function as elements of the product. Functions from a product, on the other hand, allow us to put a formalism around the idea of functions of several variables.So a function of two variables, of types
2 CoproductThe product came, in part, out of considering the pair construction. One alternative way to write the
data Pair a b = Pair a b
and the resulting type is isomorphic, in Hask, to the product type we discussed above.This is one of two basic things we can do in a
The other thing we can do is to form a union type, by something like
data Union a b = Left a | Right b
This type guarantees the existence of two functions
Left :: a -> Union a b Right :: b -> Union a b
Similarly, in the category of sets we have the disjoint union , which also comes with functions .
We can use all this to mimic the product definition. The directions of the inclusions indicate that we may well want the dualization of the definition. Thus we define:
Definition A coproduct A + B of objects A,B in a category C is an object equipped with arrows such that for any other object V with arrows , there is a unique arrow such that the diagram
commutes. The diagram is called a coproduct cocone, and the arrows are inclusion arrows.
For sets, we need to insist that instead of just any and , we need the specific construction taking pairs for the coproduct to work out well. The issue here is that the categorical product is not defined as one single construction, but rather from how it behaves with respect to the arrows involved.
With this caveat, however, the coproduct in Set really is the disjoint union sketched above.For Hask, the coproduct is the type construction of
And following closely in the dualization of the things we did for products, there is a first
Proposition If C,C' are both coproducts for some pair A,B in a category D, then they are isomorphic.
The proof follows the exact pattern of the corresponding proposition for products.
3 Cartesian Closed Categories and typed lambda-calculus
A category is said to have pairwise products if for any objects A,B, there is a product object .
A category is said to have pairwise coproducts if for any objects A,B, there is a coproduct object A + B.
Recall when we talked about internal homs in Lecture 2. We can now define what we mean, formally, by the concept:
Definition An object C in a category D is an internal hom object or an exponential object or BA if it comes equipped with an arrow , called the evaluation arrow, such that for any other arrow , there is a unique arrow such that the composite
is f.
The idea here is that with something in an exponential object, and something in the source of the arrows we imagine live inside the exponential, we can produce the evaluation of the arrow at the source to produce something in the target. Using global elements, this reasoning comes through in a more natural manner: given and we can produce the global element . Furthermore, we can always produce something in the exponential whenever we have something that looks as if it should be there.
And with this we can define
Definition A category C is a Cartesian Closed Category or a CCC if:
- C has a terminal object 1
- Each pair of objects has a product and projections , .
- For every pair of objects, there is an exponential object with an evaluation map .
3.1 Currying
Note that the exponential as described here is exactly what we need in order to discuss the Haskell concept of multi-parameter functions. If we consider the type of a binary function in Haskell:
binFunction :: a -> a -> a
On the other hand, we can feed in both values at once, and get
binFunction' :: (a,a) -> a
which lives in the exponential object .
These are genuinely different objects, but they seem to do the same thing: consume two distinct values to produce a third value. The resolution of the difference lies, again, in a recognition from Set theory: there is an isomorphism
which we can use as inspiration for an isomorphism valid in Cartesian Closed Categories.
As it turns out, this is exactly what we need for λ-calculus. Any typed λ-calculus gives rise to a CCC in a natural manner, and any CCC has an internal language which satisfies, by the axioms for the CCC, all requirements to be a typed λ-calculus.
More importantly, by stating λ-calculus in terms of a CCC instead of in terms of terms and rewriting rules is that you can escape worrying about variable clashes, alpha reductions and composability - the categorical translation ignores, at least superficially, the variables, reduces terms with morphisms that have equality built in, and provides associative composition for free.
At this point, I'd reccomend reading more on Wikipedia [1] and [2], as well as in Lambek & Scott: Introduction to Higher Order Categorical Logic. The book by Lambek & Scott goes into great depth on these issues, but may be less than friendly to a novice.
4 Algebra of datatypes
Recall from Lecture 3 that we can consider endofunctors as container datatypes. Some of the more obvious such container datatypes include:
data 1 a = Empty data T a = T a
These being the data type that has only one single element and the data type that has exactly one value contained.Using these, we can generate a whole slew of further datatypes. First off, we can generate a data type with any finite number of elements by (n times). Remember that the coproduct construction for data types allows us to know which summand of the coproduct a given part is in, so the single elements in all the
Furthermore, we can note that , with the isomorphism given by the maps
f (Empty, T x) = T x g (T x) = (Empty, T x)
Thus we have the capacity to add and multiply types with each other. We can verify, for any types A,B,C
We can thus make sense of types like T3 + 2T2 (either a triple of single values, or one out of two tagged pairs of single values).
This allows us to start working out a calculus of data types with versatile expression power. We can produce recursive data type definitions by using equations to define data types, that then allow a direct translation back into Haskell data type definitions, such as:
The real power of this way of rewriting types comes in the recognition that we can use algebraic methods to reason about our data types. For instance:
List = 1 + T * List = 1 + T * (1 + T * List) = 1 + T * 1 + T * T* List = 1 + T + T * T * List
so a list is either empty, contains one element, or contains at least two elements. Using, though, ideas from the theory of power series, or from continued fractions, we can start analyzing the data types using steps on the way that seem completely bizarre, but arriving at important property. Again, an easy example for illustration:
List = 1 + T * List -- and thus List - T * List = 1 -- even though (-) doesn't make sense for data types (1 - T) * List = 1 -- still ignoring that (-)... List = 1 / (1 - T) -- even though (/) doesn't make sense for data types = 1 + T + T*T + T*T*T + ... -- by the geometric series identity
and hence, we can conclude - using formally algebraic steps in between - that a list by the given definition consists of either an empty list, a single value, a pair of values, three values, et.c.
At this point, I'd recommend anyone interested in more perspectives on this approach to data types, and thinks one may do with them, to read the following references:
4.1 Blog posts and Wikipages
The ideas in this last section originate in a sequence of research papers from Conor McBride - however, these are research papers in logic, and thus come with all the quirks such research papers usually carry. Instead, the ideas have been described in several places by various blog authors from the Haskell community - which make for a more accessible but much less strict read.

Memories of Blackheath
Forest King Pub
My Great Great Grandparents Frederick & Mary Saunders owned the Forest King Pub. He is listed as a publican in the 1881 & 1891 census and Frederick died 24 Jan 1894 and Mary died in 1904. Alexander Saunders was then the licenced-victualler.
It has been almost 50 years since I have seen the inside of this church. My mother; Molly Risbridger) was married in this church to a Canadian soldier Mr. Ken Lloyd Maxted. I am their son Robert Glenn Maxted. Happy Anniversary! 2007 I love you Mom and Dad, Your Son, Glenn
My gran owned the pub at Blackheath which was called the Forest King, it was on the edge of the cricket pitch. There was also another pub called the Volunteer on the next road. Does anybody remember them?

Well, here's another one of those forums. I'm looking for some specific types of games I've had no luck finding. I've been looking for a good Mmorpg for awhile now and I've found nothing quite like I want. I've tried; Talisman online, Last Chaos, Soul Order, Fiesta, Kings of Kings 3 and a couple more. None of which I've liked. I'm gonna give a list of my specifications and hope you guys guide me towards a good game.
PvP: (Battle Ground kinda like WoW is preferred, but I'll go for anything)
Helpful community: would be appreciated but not completely necessary.
Instances: Something I can get a party for to run through.
Easyish leveling: Not to hard but not insanely easy either.
Pets and Mounts:
And I have somewhat bad internet so something under 2gb would be appreciated.
Now all this stuff is in most MMORPG's. But I want opinions on how the game is played by people who have either played it or have done research on it. I don't wanna base my night-long download and some screen shots.
Oh and sorry for the long post. Also, if this isn't where this goes I'm sorry I'm a noob here still.


text: You can't possibly believe that Tay. Leaving the bench is an emotional response. Do you believe that leaving the bench once in a season would be the same as a ref possibly harbouring a gambling habit ala Donaghy that compromises his integrity? If a ref is clean, he's clean. And if he's not, then he needs to be removed from officiating duties. Even the suggestion that a ref is engaged in gambling (however unrelated) creates an aura of impropriety. There was a purpose and intent behind having it in the officials' CBA. We're not talking about morality. We rarely do when it comes to rules or laws.

Fitting the front clip
A new idea! I'm still building my 39 Pontiac hot rod and I'm fitting the Fisher body to a GM front sub-frame and a GM rear sub-frame, then reattaching the original pontiac rear tail so the gas tank and rear bumper mounts etc. fit as originally designed. This is the best way I have found to make a really nice riding hot rod. It also allows you to change out rear springs to get a good ride height. You can custom make the car do what you want by changing rear spring ratio's. I get the springs from AZ and then try different set-ups until I hit the right one.... "Make good friends with the counter guy" he will allow you to trade in one set and get another at no additional expense.
Thats just street rodding 101-- Here is the new idea: Over the years you learn new tricks to make the deal go a little faster. When fitting the front clip of the old Fisher body to the GM front sub-frame you always run into the problem of making a sturdy mount that comes off of the front crossmember of the GM frame and mate's to the lower radiator support structure. Thats the deal that holds the totality of the Fisher body to the frame. It cannot be built out of crap! After building many out of flat stock or plate steel, I stumbled across a low cost simple, but very strong way to make the support. Head to the scrap yard and find a trailer hitch draw bar. Usually they are nice and thick and are made from very mild steel. Which means you can heat them and then bend them to meet the need and they will not snap.
Simply bend them to the proper shape, get your length. drill a mounting hole, jig them up into place and then weld them on. Simple and strong! Also, if you miss the mark , slightly, a big hammer will allow you to adjust for a perfect fit. Always have a big hammer!!

"Basics of Basics" Trial fitting parts
Basics of Basics Trial fitting parts
By Brian Martin
There are few procedures that give you more Bang for your buck than trial fitting parts. Sounds simple, just common sense. However, it is something that comes with very hard-learned lessons. Even after doing this work for over twenty-five years, I still forget once and a while. When I do, there is a good chance I will pay for it dearly.
Like the fabricators motto If you dont have a pile of rejects in the trash, you arent doing good work, the time spent on trial fitting is VERY good time spent.
This trial fitting should include nearly every single part of the car.
When installing a weld on part such as a quarter, trial fitting ALL the adjacent panels is not just something you should do, you MUST do it. The decklid, door, rear bumper, window mouldings, etc., should ALL installed and fit well BEFORE your welding is done. At this time a little minor tuning can turn an OK job into an outstanding one. You may even find the need to serious adjustment.
Trial fitting is not holding the part up and saying, yep it fits. We are talking FULLY bolting the part on. If this is a moving part such as a door or deck lid, the latch should be installed, hinges FULLY bolted on and adjusted. The rubber seals and bumpers should be installed as well. On an older car this is not so easy because many are glued in, but SOMETHING has to be done to insure the part will fit properly when the rubber is installed later.
If you cant install the rubber at that time at least spend some time looking at where the rubber fits to for a proper gap. For instance, while fitting a decklid to your new quarter (or the other way around, it makes no difference) get in the trunk and close the lid. Inspect around the channel where the rubber fits. Be sure it is a uniform distance ALL the way around. You can usually find the correct distance right where the hinges are. If the panel fits correctly on the outside then that gap for the rubber is usually going to be correct. If you feel for some reason that there is damage to that area, you need to spend some time there. If you feel the car has been hit on the side pillar post (if you were fitting the door) you really need insure that the door fits properly and that you KNOW what that rubber gap should be. This gap is usually a uniform distance all the way around, be sure of it. When you are doing a door, you always have the other side to check to guidance remember. When installing a quarter, rear panel, upper panel, this is very critical. You dont want to find out later that your gap is too small, the lid wont close properly or sticks up. You dont want to find out the gap is too large, the rubber may not seal and the trunk leaks water. A little minor shifting of parts prior to welding could take care of it.
You want ALL gaps perfect PRIOR to welding (a little tack here or there may be needed for fitting the parts) there is NOTHING that will tell you this other than FULLY mounting the adjacent parts.
When doing any plastic filler work (bondo) or straightening metal you need to trail fit the mouldings, trim and adjacent parts as well. This is VERY important with parts like fender extensions. I dont care if they are new/used or the even the same ones you took off the car, AWAYS trial fit them. Dont leave you new repro parts in the package to install them after paint, you WILL be sorry.
Prior to paint or even primer you can tweak these mouldings against the body. After paint, it is much harder because you can scratch it. If there is plastic filler work or metal being straightened this is VERY important. After you have drilled holes for mouldings (Basics of Basics-Templates) bolt the mouldings on for fit.
The cars weight should be on the wheels when making these panel adjustments. NEVER fit panels while the car is on jack stands on the frame or on a rotisserie for something like that. You can have the car on jack stands but be sure they are under the rear axle and front control arms to replicate the forces of the car on its wheels. I dont even like the under the control arms at all, I put the car on its front wheels. The weight transfer is not the same in the middle of the control arms as it is at the point where the tire hits the ground.
I can not stress this enough; trial-fitting parts is not because you are a newbe or something. Every experienced body man does it everyday to some degree. Trial fitting is done throughout the entire repair of the car. Nothing could be worse than getting your car back from the painter only to find parts dont fit!
Just yesterday I was working on 2002 Honda CR-V with a little dent on the quarter right at the edge by the rear gate. I had finished the plastic filler work and was ready to send it to the paint department. I went ahead and installed the new decklid just to be sure it was right, even though this was a very minor repair that should easily be fine. I found out I was a little on the filler work. Now, it wasnt the end of the world and could have even stayed that way. But with literally only a few minutes, it was perfect. On a very large job lately I found the need to pull the car back up on the frame rack for a little minor repair to where the rubber fits or the door would have been MUCH too tight. Just this little fine-tuning made a world of difference to how the door fit.
The moral of the story is dont ever assume your parts are going to fit. I dont give a darn if they are new, repro, NOS, original, it really doesnt matter, they MUST be trial fit.
The final assembly of your car should be fun, and relaxing. It is the best part of the whole project. Dont make it a nightmare, dont let someone rush you during the earlier phases of the project. Right from the very beginning you are laying the foundation for the finished project. Take the time to do it right.
If you trial fit the parts properly you will never know the pain

If we were to sum up our reasoning for creating NuBe Green in one real-world example, it could easily be the story of the mass-production of cheap cashmere goods, consumed like candy in the US around the holidays. Over-consumption of foreign goods is punishing the environment and workers' livelihoods around the planet.

For the Bears Loucheiz Purifoy has all the athletic ability to be a quality pick however I feel he has to show better ball skills this year to go in the top 20 in round two Gabe Jackson is a very talented player but we will have a much bigger need at Centre next year rather than Guard so Byran Stork or if Russell Bodine declares I would rather grab them.

Rams don't need a TE, so we could go with either G, T, or DT there, but I love the HaHa pick. Haven't watched any of Long, so can't really comment on him although the position is right.

We still have Austin under contract for next year, and Bryant is our #1 receiver. We just drafted Terrance Williams who should develop into Austin's replacement and have Dwayne Harris, Cole Beasley and Danny Coale behind them. Receiver isn't a need, especially not a top ten need.
I'd rather see us go DE or DT in the 1st, then take the next best OT/OG in round two.

If we're in that range, i'm just not sure Ponder is the answer. Hopefully if he isn't than we find a QB in one of the first 2 rounds. Not bad though, I like Lynch.

Love Fiedo. Great pick, but I would love to have Clinton-Dix fall 1 more spot into our laps.
I understand the idea on Stork, but TT drafts college LT's only. We drafted JC Tretter this year, college LT but I think we are going to move him to Center. Between him and EDS, I don't expect to see a Center real early for us.

The way I saw it, the value was too good to pass up. Austin is injury prone and older and Lee is a massive upgrade. It's possible that Austin could be cut in a cost saving move. I like Williams as a prospect, but there isn't really a question that Lee is better. Adding Lee to that offense could that spark that was added to the Falcons offense when we brought in Julio.

The legitimacy of the Rutgers defense is on par with the sketchiness of its offense. Moreover, since the Pats just took two WRs this year, I don't see them using a first next year there.

You might as well compare COD sales with Battlefield sales. Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's good. Or are you telling me that Justin Beiber is a musical god?
I keep forgetting how uncommon it is for the gaming community to hype something. Well, as long as I remember that hype is an indicator of a game success then I guess it is fine.
ESO flopped the hype. GW2 keeps it.
May as well call ESO TORtanic 2.0 because boy is it going to flop hard.
ESO may have more likes but as ASNZern said, GW 2 kept the hype.
What?, facebook likes?. That is irrelevant. I'd hope ESO Pvp will turn out good as that's all that i am hoping for in that game, and that is it. Not much else, and hopefully it turns out well.
In terms of who won, hype vs hype? ESO by a mile. But the better game that ended up being more polished and enjoyable? GW2.
ESO rode on the popularity of the Elder Scroll franchise. GW2 only rode on the popularity of GW1. Between the Elder Scroll franchise and GW1, guess which one is more popular?
It's a worthless comparison when both don't live up to the hype lol.
I thought the Elder Scroll franchise was going downhill with Skyrim; with ESO out, dear god I'll be satisfied if the next Elder Scroll is just Skyrim level.
GW2 is loads worse than GW1

A trip from Eagle Mountain to get to work at 7:30 a.m. at the Wells Fargo Building on Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City used to take 45 minutes via a Utah Transit Authority commuter bus.
Now here comes the much-awaited FrontRunner, and the trip now takes two hours, if everything is on time. For this I get to pay about $190 each month, which is about to be increased.
UTA is one of the most expensive public transit systems in the country, with way too many top-heavy costs. FrontRunner might be a good thing, but when you more than double commute times for the same money, something is wrong.
The public has no real voice in UTA decisions, and our elected officials have no power, either. On one hand, UTA says it is a business, but if you want to file a lawsuit against it, UTA is quick to tell you it is a government agency and therefore exempt.
We taxpayers pay, but we have no representation. Return the commuter bus to Eagle Mountain!

From my two collections, vast as space, that I have amassed
From working with effort at this practice for a great length of time,
May I become the chief leading buddha for all those
Whose mind's wisdom eye is blinded by ignorance.
Even if I do not reach this state, may I be held
In your loving compassion for all my lives, Manjushri.
May I find the best of complete graded paths of the teachings,
And may I please all the buddhas by practicing.
Using skillful means drawn by the strong force of compassion,
May I clear the darkness from the minds of all beings
With the points of the path as I have discerned them;
May I uphold Buddha's teachings for a very long time.
With my heart going out with great compassion
In whatever direction the most precious teachings
Have not yet spread, or once spread have declined,
May I reveal this treasure of happiness and aid.
May the minds of those who wish for liberation be granted bounteous peace
And the buddhas' deeds be nourished for a long time
By even this graded course to enlightenment completed
Due to the wondrous virtuous conduct of the buddhas and their children.
May all human and nonhuman beings who eliminate adversity
And make things conducive for practicing the excellent paths
Never be parted in any of their lives
From the purest path praised by the buddhas.
Whenever someone makes an effort to act
In accordance with the tenfold Mahayana virtuous practices,
May they always be assisted by the mighty ones,
And may oceans of prosperity spread everywhere.

Some refreshing summer sippers
JIM BEAUREGARD | July 15. 2014 9:46PM
Jewell Towne's Peter and Brenda Oldak have been growing vines on their property for several decades now, having sought out hardy varieties that can withstand their allegedly mild New England winter, and that continue to produce delightful wines. One of these, Jewell Towne Aurore, is made from the Aurore grape, which in Jewell Towne's hands produces a light, pale gold wine with good balance and very good acidity, on par with the acidity of a good Pinot Grigio, a light palate, in which the nose and flavors reflect white fruit, and some good hints of citrus, in a dry presentation that holds the fruit through to the finish. Very refreshing, and calls for summer salads, and whitefish on the grill. Or some of the less spicy Chines foods. $13.99, 11% ABV, just right for a warm summer night. This one can be enjoyed both at room temperature to bring out its full flavor profile, or just slightly chilled for some nights. Jewell Towne Vineyards offers tours and wine tastings in a regular basis. You can find out more at email@example.com.

Excelsior College Nursing Exams
Excelsior College® Examinations (ECEs) in Nursing Theory
The Excelsior College Examinations in Nursing Theory serve as the primary method of documenting the required theoretical knowledge in the program's nursing component. They assess essential knowledge of medical, surgical, maternity, pediatric, and psychiatric nursing as integrated with knowledge related to growth and development, nutrition and pharmacology, ethical and legal issues, and arts and sciences.
Beginning with the Fall 2015 trimester we will introduce a third option to completing the nursing requirements for the Associate degrees in nursing. We call these the Nursing Theory Series. The Nursing Theory Series will include the nursing courses, the nursing theory examinations and a new option called the Nursing Theory Conference Examinations (NTCXs). The NTCXs will roll out between the Fall 2015 trimester through the Summer 2016 trimester. With this option all our nursing theory examinations will be packaged with newly designed online conferences that will provide you with a trimester experience to facilitate your preparation for each examination. This means you will retain the flexibility of an independent learner while benefiting from an organized approach to the examination preparation process. Read the details here.
Focused Clinical Competencies Assessment® (FCCA®)
To be eligible for the FCCA you will need to complete all Nursing Theory exams and be within 10 General Education credits of completing your degree. The FCCA is graded as Pass/Fail and is worth four credits when passed.
Clinical Performance in Nursing Examination CPNE®
The CPNE is a skill-based assessment designed to measure a student's ability to demonstrate the expected behaviors and skills of a beginning-level associate-prepared nurse. The exam evaluates a student's application of the nursing process and nursing-practice technical components in the care of adults and children who are experiencing potential, actual, and/or recurring health problems requiring maintenance and restorative interventions. Critical thinking, diagnostic reasoning, use of knowledge from nursing and related disciplines, effectiveness of interventions, and standards of care are measured in this exam.
Other Nursing exams, not designed specifically for Excelsior's Nursing programs, and available to learners outside the Nursing programs, are part of the UExcel credit-by-exam program.

These learning resources are prepared by Excelsior College so you can be assured that they are current and cover the content you are expected to master for the exams. These resources, and your desire to learn, are usually all that you will need to succeed.
There are test-preparation companies that will offer to help you study for our examinations. Some may imply a relationship with Excelsior College and/or make claims that their products and services are all that you need to prepare for our examinations.
Excelsior College is not affiliated with any test preparation firm and does not endorse the products or services of these companies. No test preparation vendor is authorized to provide admissions counseling or academic advising services, or to collect any payments, on behalf of Excelsior College. Excelsior College does not send authorized representatives to a student's home.
Depending upon your individual learning style and needs, you may consider using the services and products of a test preparation vendor to help you prepare for an Excelsior College Examination. Some students have found such materials beneficial while others have not. The decision to purchase the services and products of any of these vendors is entirely up to you.
Excelsior College does not review the materials provided by test preparation companies for content or compatibility with Excelsior College Examinations.
To help you become a well-informed consumer we suggest that you consider the following before making any purchase decision regarding study materials provided by organizations other than Excelsior College.
Does the company:
- Clearly articulate that it is an independent business enterprise, separate from Excelsior College, and that it is not a degree granting institution?
- Clearly inform you that the products and services it provides have not been reviewed, nor are they endorsed, by Excelsior College?
- Openly indicate that it is not an agent of Excelsior College, that it is not authorized to provide admissions counseling or academic advising regarding Excelsior's degree requirements, and that all its costs and fees are separate from those you will pay to the College?

- Require clients to commit to long-term, binding contracts to access its products and services?
- Provide data to substantiate the satisfaction of its clients with its products and services?
We have been made aware of several recent incidents in which a test-preparation firm has contacted an Excelsior College student requesting access to their Excelsior College Examinations ® preparatory materials, including practice exams. Sharing learning resources with a test-preparation firm is a clear violation of the academic honesty code. Students found to have engaged in academic dishonesty at Excelsior College will be subject to disciplinary action.
If you are approached by any individual or third-party about sharing any Excelsior College provided study materials, please contact us at PR (at) excelsior.edu.

Psychiatry 101 is a blog about psychiatry by a mom who was once treated for post-partum depression. She has been a welcome commenter on Shrink Rap with some great comments.
So most recently, Psychiatry 101 sent us a link to Tony White's blog. Tony is a therapist in Australia, he has a blog, and his patients and supervisees read it. He writes HERE about what his patients say about his blog.
Several people have suggested to me that my patients read Shrink Rap and don't tell me. I find that perplexing--- why wouldn't a patient just say "Hey, I came across your blog..." ? In real life, I'm not a particularly intimidating person. At least I don't think so.

When Leroy Street Studio co-founders Marc Turkel, AIA, and Morgan Hare volunteered to perk up the public spaces of a tenement building in a rough Brooklyn, N.Y., neighborhood nine years ago, they couldn't have imagined it would eventually lead them to establish a parallel nonprofit called Hester Street Collaborative. The former Yale classmates worked with a group of artists, sculptors, and tile makers to transform a dilapidated lobby and courtyard into a place of inspiration. But the real revelation came six years later, when the architects revisited the Community Courtyard and found it perfectly preserved, though packs of dogs still roamed the streets. "The sense we had was that people really looked after their space," Turkel remembers.
Several years later, their high-end residential firm outgrew its Leroy Street brownstone and moved to Hester Street in Chinatown, where the architects came face-to-face with their next pro bono opportunity. Directly across the street sat M.S. 131, a penitentiarylike middle school that inspired Turkel and Hare to develop an art and architecture curriculum for the students. The design/build classes culminated in a school-improvement project, and thus was born Leroy Street Studio's nonprofit arm. "We thought there was a niche for architects on projects with a limited budget, where it's hard to bring that extra layer of joy," Turkel explains.
Doing good is nothing new in design circles. Many architecture firms regularly waive or reduce their fees for work with underserved clients. But in the quest to become more socially relevant, a handful of architects are working strategically outside the bounds of traditional practice. They're creating 501(c)(3) organizations as a formal means for initiating design discussions across disciplines, making sure the right questions get asked and, in some cases, forming the necessary political connections to change entrenched bylaws and practices. In short, architect-run nonprofits represent a shift to broader entrepreneurial thinking about how design can solve social, economic, and environmental problems.
As a result of Leroy Street Studio's dispersed creativity, the design/build curriculum has morphed into Ground Up, an educational design/build program slated for rollout in several New York City schools. In a separate community project, a stroll down the Lower East Side's Allen Street—recently co-named Avenue of the Immigrants—reveals the names of 35 people and places that are part of the neighborhood's cultural history. And money is being raised to design libraries for needy schools, among other ventures. Even Turkel and Hare hadn't foreseen the extent to which the melting-pot nonprofit would deepen their existing practice. Although Hester Street Collaborative consists of full-time executive director Anne Frederick and several paid interns, Leroy Street Studio's 20 staff members move fluidly between the two offices as time allows. (They occupy separate floors in the same building.) Some of the firm's for-profit clients have become Hester Street board members and beneficiaries, and the traditional practice attracts A-list employees because of its rainbow of work.
taking the initiative "I think there's a new energy around the desire to affect more complex issues," says John Peterson, AIA, principal, Peterson Architects, San Francisco. "The more inclusive view of architecture's role in the community—that feels quite new to me." He is an example of this new breed of architects. Disenchanted with the lack of follow-through on city-sponsored design competitions, Peterson's office initiated a design solution in its own backyard, adding to the light-industrial South of Market district a series of outdoor public spaces that serve the emerging mixed-use neighborhoods. That project grew into Public Architecture, the nonprofit he founded in 2002.
"After we proposed this open-space strategy we thought, 'Why aren't more people doing it?'" he recalls. "We realized there wasn't an organization that supported this type of thing—sending design professionals out into the world to identify projects. As designers we're sitting here waiting for the phone to ring. A lot of problems are not being addressed because agencies have no engagement with them."
In this case, it was a matter of making small changes to local conditions, like widening the sidewalks in discrete locations to create landscaped nooks where people could sit outside and have a snack. The firm then looked for partners willing to be stewards of that space. The first build-out will be in front of a Laundromat and café. Because the Laundromat has late hours, its management will take in the tables and chairs at night. Peterson says Public Architecture's intent is to create prototypes other cities can use to solve similar problems. "We knew this was a problem in every major city," he explains. "How could we solve it systemically and use it to start the conversation in other urban areas? Every project we take on needs to be a model for places other than the specific site."
In all of these efforts, architects are using skills they've developed in their mainstream practice. In San Francisco, for example, every project that changes the streetscape is scrutinized by planning officials and neighbors, so Peterson's firm has refined its political savvy with each new job. "The city's been very supportive of much of what we've been interested in," he says of the relationship. "It sounds motivational speakerish, but it takes a tremendous amount of patience and persistence" to effect change. It also requires an interest in all things nonprofit, he adds—from participating in popular culture to financing and fundraising. "We're coming up on four years," he says, "and I would have guessed we'd be a lot further along."
Indeed, architects starting this sort of revolution face a common conundrum: how to divide their time, and how to keep the 501(c)(3) from siphoning energy and profits from the existing firm. Peterson doesn't track his time on Public Architecture—he doesn't want to know—but he's guessing that some weeks it takes 75 percent of his time, some weeks, 25 percent. "It needs to be a more healthy accommodation," he admits. "For someone who runs a practice, that's craziness."
Gathering financial sustenance is a big part of any nonprofit effort. At Hester Street Collaborative, executive director Frederick oversees the grant process, but the learning curve is steep. Turkel says the work is "seriously subsidized" by Leroy Street Studio, which pays its rent and soft costs. It's a similar story at Public Architecture, which has with its for-profit sibling what Peterson calls a "parasitic relationship." Despite a plethora of funding sources —foundations, the National Endowment for the Arts, architecture firms, and a recent $50,000 grant from a paper company—with deeper pockets Public Architecture could easily triple in size.
Even when nonprofits are independent on paper from a founder's traditional practice, the business strategies may blur. Peterson unequivocally counsels design professionals to use pro bono work to promote their firms, and yet, he is skittish about the perception that his firm might use Public Architecture as a vehicle to make more money. "I've never been paid a cent for Public Architecture; I don't even get reimbursed for my travel expenses," he says. "We're asking people to give us money, and if there were some suspicion that the money was making its way into my pocket, people would be less interested in supporting us." Running the daily operations instead are two salaried staffers who are trained as architects—John Cary and Liz Ogbu—and an assortment of paid interns. But for now, Peterson's payoff is professional recognition and a growing expertise in larger-scale public work. Since founding Public Architecture, he's been asked to lecture at universities; he also was awarded a 2005–2006 Loeb Fellowship from Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. "They weren't interested in me because of my cute little firm," he says of his selection, "but because of the nonprofit."

To help gardeners understand which plants will grow well for them, the entire USA has been segmented into 'Plant Hardiness Zones'. Knowing your zone number is helpful when shopping for plants because:
Begonias are a beautiful spring blooming bulb that offer color all season long. Tuberous Begonia require shade and regular feeding, so most people grow them in patio pots, window boxes, or other places where you can tend them carefully. They're also perfectly happy in the ground in shady areas as long as the soil is rich and well-watered. The blooms can reach a spectacular 5 or 6" across, on short plants that are rarely over a foot tall. Many gardeners start the plants inside in pots, and they can be taken in and enjoyed as houseplants when frost threatens in the fall.

i will post one story from my writings which is private but i felt the need to share. i cant spell good and it may or may not offend some.
I walk and all around me is dead corpses.I see the eyes of the dead ones being plucked out by ravens whose feathers is as black as the souls that were damned.Around me was much blood.I walk through the city and as far as the eye can see is death.Death walks by my side.To whom she speaks to my surprise with a gental voice.Douglas you are here to see and witness the end.The end of all mankind.I walk and i smell death i fear death.I walk to the end and upon me was a gate.The gate was shut with the mark of a great seal.Around the gate was two angels.One with wings as white as snow.And one with wings as black as the darkest night sky.The one with the white wings spoke to me.Douglas the gate you see is two fold.I ask what do you mean in which with the sound of great thunder the angel spoke.The gate is two fold its a gate to your final destination its up to you as to choose what it may be.Then with the sound of many crows the angel with black wings said to me.Douglas the gate is death.Death is what you seek and for that you get it.I ask as i trimble in fear not understanding what they mean.Then with a great roar a beast appears to me.The beast was a lamb.A lamb that was at one time sacrificed to god above.The beast had seven eyes and seven horns.The beast spoke to me and said this.This gate you see is two fold.Depending on your faith in god is as to what you will see and embrace. The beast gave permission to the two angels in which the first with wings as white as snow opened it. I saw peace and eternal life.I saw people praising god.I saw four beasts around his throne.They were signing praise to god and our savior who is Jesus Christ are lord.I saw many saints to whom was pure enough to be in the prescience of god.Then the angel said come you shall walk and be a witness. The angel took his hand out and behold was a scroll with many names. I ask dear angel what is this scroll in which the angel said its your history i shall show you paradise and the many great things. You will want to stay in which i will decline and you will weep and beg. But don't feel sad the angel said. As its not your time.He then said come and i followed.In a blink of my eye i was in a field.In this field was perfect coulour.The sound was so clear.The air was so clear.Then i saw people they all were happy.They were moving about.Some siting down drinking wine.Some eating from a great tree.I then ask the angel what is this tree? The angel said with mighty force that this tree was the tree of life which bears many fruits.I saw with my eyes fruits that were unknown to me.I saw a women picking the fruit.She then placed it in the basket and took it to a table.She then praised god.And began to eat.The angel said come! Then we appeared to another area with many big houses.I knew that these were the mansions that were promised from the holy book. I look and to mystery the homes seemed alive. I saw flowers that never have wilted.I saw a road of pure gold.Then the angel explained to me that these are the saved ones riches that they stored in heaven.The angel said there is more to see but my eyes were to weak to see them at this time.Then at my surprise i was back at the gate.The angel of white said now you will walk with death you will see fear and weeping. You o your self will be fearful and beg to go back but you must witness this. At the sound of many crows the angel with black wings said come! At the blink of my eye i was in a dark place. The place was hot and the air stale. The stench of decay and uncleanness was all around. The ground was dry and dead. The being said you are in Hades or as most call it hell. I will shield you and protect you from all the pain and the many legions of demons who hate gods children. He said come and i walked. We walked to a gate. In the right hand of the angel of black came out a single key. The key was rusted and looked as to have been used many times. He then opened the gate and then he said come Douglas walk with me. I follow and in my sight was pure fear. I heard many weeping and screams of pain. As we walked i saw to my left and right pits in which was a damned soul. The fire was bright. Inside the pit i saw the souls they were wrapped in flames. There skin would burn up and then grow back.The angel then said Douglas you were once lost. You believed in many pagan things. And even gave praise to the great beast. I will show you what happens to those who worship the false gods and are the image of the beast.We appeared to a place in what seemed to be a big lake of fire. Inside this like was the souls of the false god worhsipers and the once who took the mark of man.The mark of the beast. I saw inside that there skin was burnt and withered with decay.I saw worms coming in and out of them. They screamed in agony and in immense pain. The saw the angel that was death and began to curse and mock him.They begin to mock god.They scorned against him in life. And still scorn against him in death. They each had the mark of man.The mark was six hundred and sixty six and the marked was like a brand. It glowed and each time they mocked the mark would increase there pain. Then the angel said Douglas you have struggled with lust. I will show you there torment. I will as well show you the torments of the ones who lay with the same gender. We appear into another place. To my surprise there was no fire.It was still hot though.The angel said come walk with me. As i walked i saw many men and women masturbating to the image of the harlot. They were not getting pleasure as there private parts were covered in thorns. The means penises was covered in thorns and at the head was nail stuck in it. The men were stuck in limbo and could not stop lusting.They were in pain as each time they struck them self the thorns would go into there skin.They begged for mercy and none came. Then the angel said come we shall see the ones who sleep with the same gender. I saw men chained to each other. Around there feet was a swine that was feasting upon them. Behind each human was a demon. Each soul of man was being torment by these demons.They were putting vile things in there behinds. Some with spikes.Some with thorns.And each one of the souls was being mocked. The demons once in a while said oh to how we deceived you. They begged for mercy and none came. Then i saw the women who slept with each other. There was many tables in which had nails stuck in there skin. To my sight there legs were spread so far apart that in the realm of life it would break there legs but they are in death. Then i saw a worm come in and out of there vaginas. The worm was covered in fire and spikes and would cause them much pain. Then the angel said that is enough. Your eyes are to weak at this time to see any more. Then at the blink of my eyes i appeared back to the two angels. They both said at the same time. Douglas the end is nigh. Choose your next life. Peace or Death. Walk with god and you will have peace. Walk with the beast and you shall perish. The end
This work here was just something i thought of about paradise and hell. its not a work of the bible. I am not mocking nor trying to preach. Thanks for understanding and reading.
