Sometimes inconsistent Internet access and other factors prevent us from receiving a post from the field. Here's one that didn't make it to us when it was intended, but it's definitely worth posting now! Thanks Toni:
Today's report is late due to our full day until after 11pm yesterday.
We began the day at 8am with a good devotional led by Steve Curran, breakfast at 8:30 and the team hi-ho'd straight to work per our usual schedule.
At the beginning of the day, 11 log beds had been completed; by the end of the day, there were 22. Two of those were stained and ready to put into a room for use. Several team members hoisted each bed to the upper dorm by a rope to team members above who guided and pulled the bed over the rail and into a window, then placed each log bed into a pre-cleared room! Yea team!!! And, thank the Lord, there were no (known) injuries!!!
The Holocaust survivors enjoyed a partial day of yachting locally and some of the team took a much-needed break and joined with them.
Upon their return, we offered a craft event–a bracelet using the colors of the 12 stones of the Ephod (Exodus 28) which correlate with those in the gates of the New Jerusalem (Rev. 21) representing the 12 tribes of Israel. Most of the survivors–both men and women–exuberantly took part as 3 interpreters translated (Hebrew, Polish & Russian). Each one was also given a hand-made heart on a ribbon and reminded that this heart was to remind them of our love.
Afterward, one man who spoke English said he was deeply touched and impressed with our sincere demonstration which truly showed them the love of Christ! He was thanked for sharing how he felt and assured that we were very blessed to know our prayers, and the prayers of our praying partners, were being answered. He was told that we, and many others, have been specifically praying that our mouths, our eyes, our hands and our feet will reveal the embodiment of our living Messiah in every thing we do to honor them and the Lord while serving them! His eyes welled with tears as he replied that we had accomplished our goal! Later in their chapel service, they were shown the universal deaf sign for love! What a joy to see them raise their hands toward us using the sign that says "I love you"!
After our joint evening meeting, one of the Holocaust survivors shared his story. This was definitely a hi-light of our trip! Although joints were aching and weary, we sat on the edge of our seats listening to this Messianic Jewish man's life experience. Perhaps a once-one-a-lifetime gift!
Please pray for endurance, patience, strength and protection from any lack of unity or harm as we strive through several obstacles to complete 40 beds!
Thank you!
Toni Hendrix for the Team

14The same thing occurred in Iconium, where Paul and Barnabas went into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks became believers. 2But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers. 3So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace by granting signs and wonders to be done through them. 4But the residents of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles. 5And when an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, 6the apostles learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country; 7and there they continued proclaiming the good news.
8In Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet and had never walked, for he had been crippled from birth. 9He listened to Paul as he was speaking. And Paul, looking at him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10said in a loud voice, Stand upright on your feet. And the man sprang up and began to walk. 11When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they shouted in the Lycaonian language, The gods have come down to us in human form! 12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul they called Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13The priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates; he and the crowds wanted to offer sacrifice. 14When the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their clothes and rushed out into the crowd, shouting, 15Friends, why are you doing this? We are mortals just like you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. 16In past generations he allowed all the nations to follow their own ways; 17yet he has not left himself without a witness in doing goodgiving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, and filling you with food and your hearts with joy. 18Even with these words, they scarcely restrained the crowds from offering sacrifice to them.
19But Jews came there from Antioch and Iconium and won over the crowds. Then they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. 20But when the disciples surrounded him, he got up and went into the city. The next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe. 21After they had proclaimed the good news to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, then on to Iconium and Antioch. 22There they strengthened the souls of the disciples and encouraged them to continue in the faith, saying, It is through many persecutions that we must enter the kingdom of God. 23And after they had appointed elders for them in each church, with prayer and fasting they entrusted them to the Lord in whom they had come to believe. 24Then they passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia. 25When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia. 26From there they sailed back to Antioch, where they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had completed. 27When they arrived, they called the church together and related all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith for the Gentiles. 28And they stayed there with the disciples for some time.

Plantar Fasciitis Treatments in Kansas City – KC Foot Care
When you stand up for the first time after sitting for a while, you might feel pain at your arch or heel. This is called heel pain. This is one of the most common conditions. This happens when the plantar facia is pulled from the heel bone. This is a common problem for children aged 8-12 years. Plantar fasciitis is also used interchangeably for heel type pain. Many structures attach to the heels bone. The main structures of the heel bone include the plantar fascia (or the plantar muscles), and the two plantar bones. When we run, walk or cycle, the arch flattens to take on our weight. This causes stress to fascia and pulls the heel bone away. This is a bone spur. The development of spurs takes many years. It can be caused either by bone, fascia, heel nerve pain, or both. X-Rays may show a heel spot. They can be very small, or very large. Sometimes the size of the spur may not be related to the level or intensity of pain. Bad fitting shoes can worsen the pain. It is important to find the right fit for your feet, not just the price.
Where Can I find Plantar Fasciitis Treatments in Kansas City?
When you are searching for new shoes, make sure you measure your feet at the very least once a year. Shoes that provide good lateral support should be well cushioned. Signs and symptoms for Plantar Fasciitis/Bone Spurs. You may feel pain in your arch or heel. It may get worse if you sit down and then it will improve as the day goes by. The plantar and fascia muscles pull away from your heel bone, causing pain after you take your first step or after you have taken a break. This is the nerve that runs along the side of the heel bone and causes pain. Plantar Fasciitis treatment can cause inflammation at the location where the plantar fascia enters to the heel bone. 98% of the cases can be treated with a conservative approach. A physical exam is required for any traumas. Trigger points injections of mild steroids on the side can help reduce heel pain. Treatment usually takes between 1 and 3 visits to the office for an examination and injections.
To treat nerve pain, which causes shooting pain at rest due to nerve pain, you can use dehydrated alcohol injections. It's essential that the arch is supported by an OTC support before treatment can begin. Wrap it in reusable wraps and/or coban. If you have long-term conditions, custom-made orthotics may be your best option. They can be made of flexible plastic material and fit in both dress and gym shoes. You have two options to address heel pain that does not go away after treatment. The first is platelet rich plasma injections (PRP), while the second is shockwave therapy.

"I just finished the initial 4 weekly cold laser treatments for my toenail fungus and the results are truly amazing! My toenails are finally clean and smooth after several years. I'm so grateful that Dr B recommended this easy and pain-free solution. I just had to sit relax in his office for only 12 minutes once a week. Dr B is very knowledgeable and caring. He clearly explained the best treatment option in a straightforward manner. At the same time, he has a great sense of humor which made me feel at ease. It was always a pleasant experience visiting the office. Cindy and the rest of the staff are very welcoming and personable. I would highly recommend his services to family and friends!"
"Not sure where to start Dr. B is amazing and his staff is equally as amazing. I have an extra bone in each foot which needed to be removed. Dr. B gave me the initial diagnosis which floored me. So I decided to get another opinion from an orthopedic physician before deciding where to get the surgery. After the consultation with the orthopedic physician I had no doubt that I was going back to Dr. B hands down. The orthopedic left me with more questions then answers. I know I can be a bit "high maintenance" with that being said Dr. B gave me all the answers before I even asked the questions he was accessible even after my surgery and his follow through throughout my recovery was impeccable. I could go on and on and want to briefly let you know that I had my surgery at the surgicenter in JOCO and the staff there as well was outstanding from start to finish."
Foot care is never pleasant but Dr. B is so great you forget you are there for care. He is so knowledgeable and explains everything He is gentle and is concerned about your comfort and making sure you are comfortable. I will never see another podiatrist for care. If you need his service, once you meet him, you will know you have made the right choice. I went to him for bunion removal almost 25 years ago and have never had another problem with bunions. He is absolutely the GREATEST!!!!

It is easy to take your feet for granted but it can be difficult not to. When your feet hurt it's difficult to think about other things. Take good care of them.
Every day your feet take a lot. If ignored, even small problems can grow quickly into major ones. You should inspect your feet for cuts, sores, discolored nails, swelling, or other problems.

Even though it might seem obvious, many people don't dry their feet properly. It's not just the bottoms that matter. Make sure you get between your toes. This is where fungus can be most dangerous.
Massage with a ball and roller are great for your feet. They can also be helpful in managing conditions like plantar fasciitis. This is a condition that occurs when you use your feet too much. Talk with your doctor to determine which stretching techniques are most effective for you.
A few minutes of exercise a day can increase blood flow and lead to healthier feet. If you don't want to run a marathon, you don't have to. Walking, biking, swimming, dancing — even gardening — will work. Talk to your doctor about the best shoes for you.

Kansas City (or KCMO) has the highest population and largest area in Missouri. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, the city was home to 508,090 people in 2020 and was 36th in America as of the 2020 Census. It is the Kansas City Metropolitan Area's most populated city and historic heart. It is located at the Kansas-Missouri boundary and has a total population of 2,192,000. Although most of the city is within Jackson County, some areas extend into Clay and Cass counties. Kansas City was founded in the 1830s as a Missouri River port at its confluence with the Kansas River coming in from the west. On June 1, 1850, the town of Kansas was incorporated; shortly after came the establishment of the Kansas Territory. They were confused, and Kansas City was created to separate them.
It is situated on Missouri's western border, near Kansas. The city covers approximately 319.03 miles (826.3km2) and is the 23rd biggest city in America by area. It serves as one of the two county seats of Jackson County, along with major suburb Independence. Blue Springs and Lee's Summit in Missouri are also major suburbs. Kansas cities Overland Park (Olathe) and Kansas City (Kansas) are also important.
The city is made up of several neighborhoods including the River Market District (north), the 18th and Vine District (east), and the Country Club Plaza (south). Kansas City jazz, theater that was at the heart of the Vaudevillian Orpheum Circuit in 1920s, the Chiefs-and Royals sports franchises and Kansas City-style BBQ, Kansas City Strip Steak and craft breweries are some of its most celebrated cultural traditions. The city was ranked as a gamma- global city in 2020 by GaWC.
Overland Park Overland Park, Kansas is the second most populous U.S. state. It is located in Johnson County. It is also the second most populous city within the Kansas City metropolitan region. As of the 2020 census, the population of the city was 197,238. It was formerly home to the Sprint World Headquarters Campus until the company's merger with T-Mobile in 2020.
Overland Park has its roots in 1905. Its founder William B. Strang Jr. began to build subdivisions along an ancient military road. This route later became the city's principal thoroughfare. Strang designed large parts of the area that would become Overland Park's downtown.
Overland Park became a "city in first class" on May 20, 1960. It had a population 28,085. Like hundreds of other suburb cities in the United States, the next ten years were incredible. It was only thirty years later that the population had almost quadrupled, to 111,790 by 1990. While slowing somewhat, this growth rate continues nearly three decades later, increasing to 173,250 as of the 2010 census. Overland Park officially became the second largest city in the state, following Wichita, Kansas, after passing Kansas City, Kansas in the early 2000s.

Worst Christmas ever: let your kids be T-Pain
There was a depressing story in the The Globe and Mail the other day about how toy retailers aren't stocking as much product this year because of the economic slowdown. The story itself wasn't nearly depressing as the sidebar that ran with it in the print edition, which listed this year's hot Christmas toys.
Right there in the middle of the list was the I Am T-Pain microphone. If you don't know who T-Pain is, he's a rapper. More specifically he's the rapper synonymous with Auto-Tune (narrowly edging out Kanye West). Auto Tune, as I've written before, is a vocal pitch-correction software that is the bane of humanity's existence. Here's the commercial for the microphone:
As is evident from the ad, this is really worrying. Sure, the I Am T-Pain microphone is meant to be a fun toy. But, if I could slip into inner indignant old fogey mode for a moment, do we really want to encourage a generation of kids into thinking they can sing, when they really can't? Can anything good come of this?
Somebody please bring back Cabbage Patch Dolls, or at least the Talking Elmo doll. Just don't put him on Auto-Tune…

Our U.S. air traffic control system is one of the most critical parts of our infrastructure and undeniably the largest and most complex system in the world. Our system moves millions of passengers, tons of cargo and connects thousands of communities on a daily basis, requiring a level of safety, security and oversight that can only be assured and maintained through governmental oversight. That is why it defies reason why many are still calling for privatization of this system, brushing aside the many serious security concerns that would need to be considered before we could ever even consider such a massive and consequential transformation.
With more than 2.2 million people flying daily in the U.S., security, oversight and reliability have never been more important. Any kind of disruption to the meticulous day-to-day operations involved with air traffic control (ATC) and its critical national infrastructure will cause immediate economic and psychological impact. For example, once the NYSE re-opened after the 9/11 terror attacks, the market fell 7.1 percent in one day, and by the end of the week, it was down 14 percent. An estimated $1.4 trillion in value was lost in those five days. While the proposal put forth in Congress would run air traffic control through a not-for-profit entity, it would be responsible for maintaining all aspects of the ATC system including security. The "private sector" has a bottom line and profit is the primary goal. Good security is expensive and is a constant cost. Consistency is key to defense and security, and on the commercial side of aviation, glitches and hacks remain just about the only predictable variable.
Second, modernized technology and privatization are often spoken in the same sentences, but foreign ATC providers are behind the times with latest innovations. For example, planes leaving United Kingdom airports have been on average 19.7 minutes late, according to the BBC. Additionally, the NATS (UK's privatized ATC provider) 2018 annual report, states "our airspace structures have not changed significantly over the past 50 years and will not accommodate the forecast growth in traffic and airport infrastructure … without causing unacceptable air traffic delays to the travelling public."
Here at home, the commercial airlines themselves have experienced near-constant IT glitches that jeopardize the safety and security of travelers, private information and cyber infrastructure. These incidents have risen in the last decade, and will only likely continue to increase given that even the most advanced technology companies in the U.S. face constant cyberthreats and challenges – as evidenced by the recent data breach of Facebook (September 2018).
A hard stance on cybersecurity measures stresses consistency and standardization across all fields. Currently, the departments of Justice, Homeland Security and Defense monitor and mitigate any threats to cybersecurity. If the transfer of power moves out of the hands of the government and into the hands of private entities, who will be held accountable for oversight and monitoring the security measures put in place? Security is typically not the primary goal of the private sector, as it is costly and manpower-intensive without any recognizable profit. Typically, security budgets in the private sector fluctuate depending on profits.
Air traffic control is too big to fail, and the debate around privatizing these mechanism should give rise to the importance of understanding the important role that the government plays in the security, regulatory, and standardization processes along with the repeated technology glitches and cyber-attacks private aviation entities are facing. With advancing technologies and an increasingly interconnected world, cybersecurity is more important than ever. The government has the authority to set high standards and regulations that must be followed to ensure that cybersecurity measures are impenetrable and can detect and mitigate any attack. Removing this authority from federal control and placing it in the hands of unaccountable private entities would put the security of aviation infrastructure at an even greater risk to hackers, cybercriminals, and foreign governments.
We should not allow the private sector to control the security of our critical ATC system without fully understanding the risks. From a risk versus gain perspective concerning security of the ATC system, the answer is no.
John Halinski is the former Deputy Administrator of the Transportation Security Administration and previously served as the chief operating officer for the 62,000-person organization.

Wrongful death actions may seek compensation for a number of different damages, including:
- Medical and burial expenses
- Loss of consortium of spouse
- Mental pain and anguish of spouse and children
- Loss of income
- Grief and loss of companionship of children and parents
Causes of Wrongful Death in Oklahoma

A key feature in the progression of cancer is the transformation of benign solid tumors into malignant states that form metastases. Understanding how cells in a solid tumor acquire the ability to invade and colonize different parts of the body is key to developing new strategies to treat the disease. Dr. Vijay Tiwari will take a multidisciplinary approach involving genomics, molecular, systems, and computational biology to determine how epigenetic processes contribute to this transformation.
In particular, his group will study how signaling pathways acting on the chromatin influence the activity of genes and the transcriptional reprograming that occurs in cells when they obtain the properties required to leave a solid tumor. To do this, Dr. Tiwari's group will develop novel approaches to provide important insights into a crucial stage of cancer progression. The award will therefore further strengthen IMB's research at the interface between epigenetics and systems biology.
A further IMB Group Leader, Dr. Holger Richly, has been elected as Associate Member of the EpiGeneSys Network. Membership of this select group of internationally renowned scientists will support Dr. Richly in his research into molecular epigenetics and their involvement in the mechanisms underlying ageing and DNA repair. As members of the EpiGeneSys Network, the groups of Dr. Vijay Tiwari and Dr. Holger Richly will have full access to the Network's activities, including their training program for students and postdocs.
Further details
Further information about Dr. Tiwari's research can be found at www.imb-mainz.de/tiwari. The award is a Research Integrating Systems Biology and Epigenetics (RISE1) grant that makes Dr. Tiwari a member of the European Commission-funded EpiGeneSys Network of Excellence. Further information about the EpiGeneSys network can be found at www.epigenesys.eu/. For more information about Dr. Richly's research please go to www.imb-mainz.de/richly.
The Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB)
The Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB) is a new center of excellence in the life sciences which was established in March 2011. Research at IMB concentrates on three cutting-edge areas: epigenetics, developmental biology, and DNA repair. The institute is a prime example of a successful collaboration between public authorities and a private foundation. The Boehringer Ingelheim Foundation has dedicated €100 million for a period of 10 years to cover the operating costs for research at IMB, while the state of Rhineland-Palatinate provided approximately €50 million for the construction of a state-of-the-art building. For more information about IMB please visit: www.imb-mainz.de.

Nine years after he stormed into the literary world selling three million copies of "The Immortals of Meluha", the debut novel in his Shiva trilogy, author Amish Tripathi's mythological fiction juggernaut has been on a roll – "The Secret of the Nagas", "The Oath of the Vayuputras", "Ram: Scion of Ikshvaku", "Sita: Warrior of Mithila" and "Raavan: Enemy of Aryavarta" — with the exception of "Immortal India", his only non-fiction book, which came out two year ago.
Having single-handedly secured six out of 10 spots in a national bestseller list, Tripathi believes mythology explores all flavours of human life. "A love story is exploring just one aspect of the human condition and emotion. Whereas an epic of mythology explores almost all aspects of the human condition: heroism, grief, disgust, all the navrasas, one of which is love. That's a bit like saying mythology is like a 'thaali', which has all the dishes, whereas a love story would probably be the 'daal' in it," the author told IANSlife.
A former banker, Tripathi's switch to writing was no fluke. In 2010, Amish self-published his debut novel, which was a raging success. "If no one else is backing you, then you should back yourself. It may not be your ideal choice, but it's better than letting your voice be shut down. I see it as freedom of expression," Amish said.
And Amish arrived at the calculated decision to quit his decade-long career in banking and write full-time after the royalty cheque for his second book became more than his salary.
He has since been translated and published into 19 Indian and international languages and is a recipient of the Crossword Book Award. Tripathi was recently announced the director of the Nehru Centre, the cultural wing of the Indian High Commission in London, and he plans to move to the UK next month.
Though a publisher's backing is always good, Tripathi feels quality should be measured over time and not by individuals. "You never know when a fine author would emerge from self-publishing," he pointed out.
He also feels that brick-and-mortar bookstores and libraries – through which an average author becomes a bestselling one – are fast disappearing.
"There is nothing that can replace physical bookstores — which aid browsing — which is the only way new authors get discovered. This is a real challenge, and it's happening across the world. It's not easy to browse online, so people at the top-end, the bestsellers on the home page, or people at the longtail, they profit from online bookstores," said the author.
"Just as a strong middle-class is a must for a healthy economy, similarly a strong average market and the average bestseller are the lifeblood of an industry. Without physical bookstores aiding the cause of browsing, this is going to get hit," the author iterated.
Tripathi has just finished Deep Halder's "Blood Island" and is onto Vikram Sampath's "Savarkar: Echoes from a Forgotten Past". His parting advice: "You want to be a good writer? Be a good reader, first."

Maybe it's because I just spent the last couple of days in Chicago and rode the Chicago Transit Authority around town that I thought of the musical group "Chicago." And maybe it was because our Epistle reading for today begins with these words, "Besides this, you know the time…" that I got to singing the song from The Chicago Transit Authority's first album that went:
Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
If so I can't imagine why we've all got time enough to cry.
Listen to what those words. "Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care?" And the implied answer is 'no.' Sure, people know what time the trains and the busses run and what time they need to be at work and what time they get off and what time they have to get the kids to this practice and that game. And life is being lived from one minute and one day and one week to the next. And there is never enough time. And the years go by and we look back and say, 'where did the time go?"
"But does anybody really know what time it is?" Or have we never actually taken the time to think about a question like that? "Does anyone really care?"
Today, you and I are directed to think about 'time' to the end that we 'understand what time it really is.' In our Epistle reading we heard St. Paul exhort us, "You know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep.
If anyone should 'really know what time it is' and 'really care,' it is the Christian. The Church's season of Advent is devoted to making sure that its members know what time it really is.
And St. Paul wants us to wake up before we OVERSLEEP. Time will not go on forever. There is an 'end of time.' And right now the clock is ticking and time is winding down. And "our salvation is nearer to us now that when we first believed. For the night is far gone; and the day is at hand…" (Rom. 13:11-12)
There is a day when time will run out and the time will be up. And that day is getting closer and closer when Christ will appear in the fullness of His glory to separate the sheep from the goats, the weeds from the wheat, the good fish from the bad fish. He is coming to "judge the living and the dead."
And so knowing, the time as only the believer in God's Word can know the time, we most certainly do "take time to cry." We cry for ourselves because we have not managed our time the way that we should.
We cry that we have far too often permitted time to manage us rather than managing our time, not using the time that we have to honor our Maker and our Redeemer as we should.
We cry that we seem to so easily lose track of time when it comes to those things that our Lord wants us to do – time in the Word, time in prayer, time to share the gospel with one who doesn't know what time it really is and doesn't really care.
It's important that we know what time it really is AND the times in which we live. Thomas Paine may have said, "These are the times that try men's souls," but the Christian Church says that "These are the times that redeem men's souls." This is the time of salvation! "Our salvation is nearer to us now that when we first believed.
These are the times in which the Creator of this world has come into His creation from eternity into time. Paul declares that "the fullness of time had come. God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons."
Already on this 1st Sunday in Advent we have Palm Sunday, Good Friday and Easter morning in sight. Christ has ridden into Jerusalem, the nails have pierced His hands and feet and the sword His side and the tomb has been vacated. The Son has risen and His light is shining into a dark world and overcoming the darkness.
And soon it will be day when, as John reports, "night will be no more. [We] will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be [our] light, and [we] will reign forever and ever." (Rev. 22:5) No more night followed by sun, which is the way we keep track of time. To which, Paul sounds the alarm clock. For "the night is gone, the day, that 'eternal day,' is at hand."
The good news is that God has set the time and will not be a day late and a dollar short. And for the believer in Christ who knows that he has been redeemed and reconciled to God by the cross of Christ crucified; for the believer in Christ who knows that his judgement has already carried out in his baptism and that he has nothing to fear, the last day when Christ appears is glory is the day we look forward to and even pray, "come Lord Jesus."
In fact, because we know what time it really is, we count the days to His coming again with the same excited anticipation that a child counts the days until Christmas. Knowing the time, we dare not 'waste the time' but 'use the time.' St. Paul talks about using the time to the "put off" and "putt on."
He writes, "The night is nearly gone and the day is at hand. So then, let us PUT OFF the works of darkness." And then he chooses a few examples of "works of darkness" – "orgies and drunkenness and sexual immorality and sensuality, quarreling and jealousy." That's the stuff we used to do when we were "asleep" and didn't know what time it really was, and didn't care.
Those specific "works of darkness" happen to be the very things that were perfectly acceptable in the Roman culture in which Paul and his fellows Christians lived. They were, 'works of the flesh' meant to gratify the "flesh." And I don't think it should too hard for us to find a lot of connection to the culture of our own day.
But the thing that set the early Christians apart from the culture of the world – was that the way that they lived. They lived in contradiction to the world. They lived according to the Word of their God that was often in utter contradiction to the word of the Roman gods. What the Romans called, 'normal,' 'acceptable' and 'natural,' they called "works of darkness."
Rather than living to satisfy the "flesh," they lived to satisfy their Lord. And it wasn't that they PROTESTED or CAMPAIGNED AGAINST these things. They simply went about quietly living their life according to God's Word. "Let us walk properly, as in the daytime," Paul writes.
They called it "putting on the armor of light" as in carrying out their Lord's instruction: "You are the light of the world… Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:14-16)
And sure enough, it was as they "put on the armor of light," "walking properly," "making no provisions for the flesh, to gratify its desires," that they began to attract a lot of attention, and many followers. And the church actually grew BECAUSE it did NOT adapt to the culture of the day.
Knowing the time moves us to take decisive action. It was in 'knowing the time" that our Lord took decisive action and sent His apostles to the ends of earth to teach and to baptize all nations. And His time caught up to you. And in your baptism, you "put on Christ." "For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ." (Gal.3:27). He is your "armor of light."
So, for you and me, THE TIME HAS FULLY COME. When St. Paul says, "put on the Lord Jesus Christ," he's not telling us that we need to be baptized again. He's telling the baptized that it's time to "walk in the light." He's saying just what the prophet Isaiah said to Israel centuries earlier. "O house of Jacob, come, let us walk in the light of the Lord."
And who knows that we just might be surprised to hear others, who have been wounded and wearied by the "works of darkness" take note and say to one another, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach US his ways and that WE may walk in his paths." (Is.2:5,3).
The last stanza of that song by Chicago goes like this.
"Does anybody really know what time it is?
Does anybody really care?
If so I can't imagine why we've all got time enough to die."
I'm not sure what the group meant by those words but they touched on an important reality for the Christian to grasp. There are many things that we can do while we still have the time to do them. But the time is coming when every opportunity to "walk in the light" will be up. It's never a matter of whether we have time enough to die. Death comes and claims each one of us whether we've got time for it or not. It comes on the day that God has set for each of us.
And so, because WE KNOW THE TIME as we do, WE USE THE TIME we have been given to prepare for death. We prepare for death by taking time to die every day. Every day, we die to the "works of darkness," those "works of the flesh," by "putting them off." That is, by confessing them and handing them over to your Lord who has already put them off of you in your baptism.
And every day, we take the time to practice "waking from our sleep," just as we will do on that day when our Lord comes in His glory. Just as we wake from our sleep and get up from our bed and put on our clothes, we "wake from our sleep" and "put on the Lord Jesus Christ" by reading and thinking about His Word and by praying.
And then, FULLY PREPARED TO DIE, we set out to "walk properly as in the daytime," knowing that "our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed." In fact, knowing that "our salvation" is as near to us as the bread and the wine on this altar.

I'm rather impressed with myself for the way I spent April. I think I maximized the amount of fun that I could handle/afford, and I managed to go on a more adventures than I can count. I've been feeling insanely restless (beyond my normal amount, if it were possible) and I don't know what I'm searching for. But in the process, I'm checking off a ton of goals, so it must count for something!
I can't believe it's been almost a year since I started this challenge. I'm over 1/3 of the way there, but have only 16/101 goals completed. That's a red flag to me, and it sounds like I'm going to have to reevaluate my methods. I've just been kind of aimlessly checking things off instead of making diligent effort towards certain goals (ahem, fitness). You've gotta keep yourself in check, because who else is going to? Let's see what I did and where I went during the month of April.
Completed will be bolded. In Progress will be italicized. Incomplete items will stay normal.
Start date: May 15, 2015
End date: February 9, 2018
End date: February 9, 2018
6. Do at least 20 random acts of kindness. {10/20}
8. Have a conversation with 20 strangers {26/20}
36. Visit 3 new states. {2/3} Texas, Louisiana
37. Take an unplanned, spur-of-the-moment trip.
41. Put $10 in savings for every goal I cross off this list. {$160/$1,010}
45. Go to two new music festivals. {6/2} Euphoria [4.9.16], SweetWater 420 Festival [4.22.16], JazzFest [4.24.16]
46. Go to at least 10 concerts. {9/10} Zomboy [4.1.16]
47. Try 15 new restaurants. {16/15} Table & Main [4.2.16], Ladybird [4.6.16], The Highlander [4.15.16], Deanie's [4.23.16]

I remember being so ready for all the excitement of April and of course, it disappeared right out from under me again. I definitely feel like I maximized my time, though. Its strange to look back on the last 30 days and realize how restless I've been.
I met sooooo many new people this month, and I can't tell you how great it feels to come across so many beautiful inspiring souls. That's partly a result of all the traveling I've done this month. I come across the most interesting people when I least expect it.
I started off April with a kick ass night seeing Zomboy in Atlanta. He brought the heat to Opera, that's for sure. I got to hear everything off of his latest release Neon Grave, and I especially loved that he had his own Snapchat geofilter to hype the tour.
I warned y'all that April was going to be full of live music, but I didn't know quite how much it would inspire and impact me. I also didn't anticipate seeing Bassnectar this month, but it was a type of energy I needed to be infused with more than anything.
The next day I woke up and impulsively threw myself into a road trip to go see Bassnectar in Austin, TX. Six days before the show, I jumped on a last minute opportunity to drive through the night with a couple of friends to see our favorite artist.
You'll have to read my full post, On The Road Together to get a real taste of the experience! And, while you're at it, read Euphoria Found, my recap of Bassnectar's set and the message that it hit me with.
I crossed off another goal and began progress on my goal to visit three new states. Texas was pretty great, but I think I want to go back soon to get a better idea of what Austin is like!
Another exciting event that happened in April was Beer & Comedy Night's 5 year anniversary show. I've been a huge fan of this local Atlanta event, and it's gotten to the point where I rarely miss a show.
I saw the anniversary show as the perfect opportunity to interview the hosts, Joe Pettis and Jeremy Mesi. They gladly agreed, and my post 5 Years of Beer & Comedy is one of the best I've done yet. Be sure to check it out!
As if I wasn't getting enough comedy, I also wen to a handful of 8-Bit Comedy Nights, another show hosted by Joe. It's every other Wednesday at Joystick Gamebar, and it's got the greatest nerdy vibes. Free comedy and 25 cent arcade games, I highly recommend it!
Not long after that, I was already off to Louisiana for Jazz Fest, but not before hitting the annual SweetWater 420 Fest in Atlanta. Music, music and more music! Seeing the Red Hot Chili Peppers for the first time was life-changing and I'm so excited for their new album to come out in June! Read Black Bandana, Sweet Louisiana and see for yourself what a great time New Orleans was.
I could go on and on about all of the place I went in April and how much I loved each and every experience, but instead I hope to inspire you to go out and live your own! Check out a place you've never gone before, even in your own town. Strike up a conversation with a person you find interesting. Go forth and be friendly, kind, curious and excited about the world around you. Until then, I'll be doing the same.

Mackay-born singer-songwriter Brad Butcher is turning heads in the country music industry.
Butcher, who has been making music for most of his life, was the winner of the Golden Guitar for New Talent of the Year at the 2018 Tamworth Country Music Awards.
At 35, Butcher's country music career is only just starting to take off.
He is currently travelling around Australia with the winner of the 2018 Golden Guitar Female Artist of the Year, Aleyce Simmonds, after the two made the decision to join forces to put together the 'A+B=C(ountry) In Your Town' tour.
Both Butcher and Simmonds are performing songs from their latest albums on the tour.
But Butcher's success has been a long time coming and he says his interest in music began at an early age.
"The first door that opened for me with music was through my mum," he reminisces.
"We had a huge family piano in the house, so I used to hear her playing and then afterwards I would go and imitate the tune I heard her play earlier."
"I had no idea I was creating notes that were complex; I think that was probably the first time I realised I was able to hear a sound and replicate it through memory."
Butcher was given his first musical instrument at age 11 and would spend his afternoons listening to CDs and trying to replicate the sounds on his guitar.
He says music was always going to be his first love, but says after finishing high school the pressure of earning an income led him to accept a three-year cabinetmaker apprenticeship.
Butcher spent the next 10 years working as a cabinetmaker.
Then, with the mining industry booming in Central Queensland, he changed professions and spent 12 years working as a crane operator in the mines.
But in 2012, feeling unfulfilled in his job, Butcher took a leap of faith.
He moved to Brisbane in the hopes of pursuing his passion for music.
"My career spring-boarded from purely the fact that I didn't like what I was doing," Butcher says.
"I knew how much enjoyment I got from music, so I made the decision to drop everything and make this a full-time job," he says.
"I knew I had to take away the safety net and if I could make this a job and make a living off creating music, this is all I want to do."
Butcher says his self-titled and self-published debut album, which was released in 2012, initially struggled to find its feet due to his lack of experience in launching his own brand.
Then, in 2015, he teamed up with Grammy-award-winning producer and songwriter Marc Swersky and recorded his second album, Jamestown, with Shorefire Recording Studios in New Jersey.
But Butcher's real success has been more recent, with the release of his third album, From the Bottom of a Well, which was published in 2017 by Love Hz Studios.
"It's like starting a new business; they say the first five years are always the toughest," Butcher says.
His most popular song from the third album, "Crawl, Beg & Cry", gained considerable traction with country music fans across Australia, peaking at number four on the iTunes Australia Country Music Charts.
"Some people don't like country music, and others love it," Butcher says.
"You just have to find your audience, and I have been incredibly lucky to have radio stations across Queensland wanting to play my music."
He says for a long time, no one knew "who the hell he was" in the industry.
"It has taken years to break through the barriers and get my name out there, and now, when I tour and play, there are people that know my songs and want to travel to hear me play."
Butcher says he tries to make his music relatable to his audience by writing from his heart.
"I try to write songs that are real and honest, that mean something to me, and I don't get the same feeling from a pop song," he says.
"With country music, there is always a focus on the lyrics.
"The lyrics mould your day to day activities – your family, love and loss.
"I like to write from personal experiences because I believe it when I sing it, and it's hard to connect with your audience if you don't understand the song."
But Butcher says there are struggles in the music industry that he has had to work through.
"Financially, it is tough."
He says there is more to becoming a musician than having a good voice and a passion for music.
"Being away from home and going to a place you have never been before to win over a crowd… every day you are faced with a brick wall.
"I think it is the feeling that when you do break through that, you are inspired to keep going."
Once the 'A+B=C(ountry) In Your Town' tour wraps up later this month, Butcher says he will continue working on his new album, which he hopes to release next year.
"The direction I'm heading is hoping that I can keep paying the bills, that is all I want to do," Butcher says.
"This is not a job."
"It is not work."
"To me, this is just fun."

The City – Leap Of Faith lyrics
I tell myself, not to fear,
It's not that easy anymore,
My trembling hands,
My wounded soul,
You can't heal me like before.
You're gone,
I need you here,
I just don't feel,
I can make it on my own.
Go back,
Can't go back,
And I know that,
I can't take back what they did,
Go back,
Can't go back,
And I know that,
I can't face what lies ahead.
Now you're gone,
Everything's still and I,
Need your song,
It calms me and whispers to,
Carry on,
You still my hands and then,
Lead me on,
Without you I'll just fade away.
A leap of faith is all we need,
A leap of faith is all we need.

Cinco de Mayo
I love most things Mexican, the food, the culture, the cocktails, the bright colours and of course one of my heros, Frieda Kahlo. So it feels perfectly natural to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, (the Celebration of the Mexican victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862).
For our fiesta we combined the hot interiors trend of colourful botanicals with hot, fresh and spicy recipes including Grilled Pollock with Peach and Mango Salsa, and Strawberry and Basil Margaritas.

Preheat oven to 180 degrees or 160 degrees for fan ovens.
Combine all the Salsa ingredients-mango, peach, lime juice, red pepper, onion, chili, salt, olive oil, and chopped coriander in a bowl and mix well. Check the flavour, you can add a little more chili, lime or salt as you see fit. Set aside
Place filets in a baking dish with a little drizzle of olive and a ½ teaspoon of butter on each fillet and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 6-8 minutes. Should easily flaky when ready, do not overcook.
Top the Pollock with the Mango and Peach Salsa and little extra coriander and serve.

I was recently reminded of something we used to make at summer camp called Bannock, an easy bread recipe that can be made on a fire using the last embers in a frying pan or wrapped around a stick.

I love how modern yet rustic this tart looks, it's an impressive dessert for any occasion, delicious served warm with a dollop of vanilla ice cream and best of all it's really easy to make. You can replace the fruit and herbs with anything that's in season and voilà!

CD of the Day, 8/25/08: Waz-The Sweet Bye and Bye
This one has been steadily growing on me until it reached the point where in good conscience I couldn't not feature it. A few weeks back, I mentioned it on my Twitter feed with the idea I'd leave it at that, but more and more listens have convinced me otherwise. Anyway, Waz is an LA musician who used to be a sideman for Pete Yorn, and with The Sweet Bye and Bye he's crafted one of the best soft pop/folky pop/singer-songwriter discs of the year as it turns out. Points of reference include Gus Black, AM, Adam Merrin and maybe even a more conventional Michael Penn.
"Hardly Enough" opens the disc and encapsulates Waz's sound: starting off soft and slow, building to a crescendo, and highly melodic. The guitar-based "Home" is another winner, reminding me of Ben Forrest Davis' "Roughs" album from last year, and "Mine to Remember" builds off a nice piano hook. "Why Can't We" is one of the more rocking songs on the disc, and bears the most resemblance to the sound of his former boss. "She's Gone" has the right mix of despair, melancholy and melody to live up to its title; and "Sleep In The Day" has a gorgeous, Neil Finn-style melody to it.
If you're a fan of this style of music, don't less this one pass you "Bye".

Sideman for Pete Yorn? I'll definitely have to check this record out.
By the way, it looks like Whit's Brain is finally back in business!

Jessie stopped by last night to keep me company, then fell asleep on the couch, poor thing. I swept and straightened, quiet as I could, closing doors in my peculiar way: fast to keep them from squeaking, and then (at the last moment) slow— twisting the knob so the latch just misses the frame, and releasing it gently to catch, inaudible. It's an art; a pas de deux I practice many nights when you're upstairs, dreaming. I hate the long oppressive silence of these summer days, the hundred sounds of your absence: you, not singing; your chair, not squeaking; the mute floorboards, faucet, stairs. But more, I hate the silence at two a.m. that should be there but isn't, muffled by doors closed with abandon and dishes clattering in the sink. So the next time you're away I think I'll have friends over, just to sleep: a couple in the living room, one by the television maybe one on the kitchen counter or a few end-to-end in the hall. Then every night I'll tiptoe around the house, dancing with the doors and pretending that it's you I'm not waking— enjoying, in that moment each lock engages, a comforting silence; a silence we share.

1 3/4 lb carp fillet, 3/4" cup smoked bacon, salt, 2 1/4 lb potatoes, 2 red onions, 4 green peppers and tomatoes each, 4 tablespoons oil, 1 level tablespoon sweet paprika, 1/2 teaspoon red cherry paste, 3/4 cup sour cream, 1 tablespoon flour
Cut the fish fillets into 4 even slices. Place them on a plate with skin down, make incisions close to each other. Place a thin slice of bacon into each cut, rub lightly with salt. Cook the potatoes in hot salted water with their skin, peel and cut into slices. In the meantime prepare a lecsó: peal and chop the onions finely, sauté a bit over hot oil. Remove the stems of the peppers and tomatoes, dice them into largish cubes, add them to the onions and cook over high heat for about 4-5 minutes. Add salt, paprika and the hot cherry pepper paste. Mix the flour and sour cream until smooth, add to the lecsó, boil for 2-3 minutes to thicken. Arrange the potato slices on a baking sheet in an even layer. Pour the lecsó on the middle and place the larded fish slices around it. Preheat the oven to 390 °F (355 °F in air-convector ovens) and bake the fish for 15 minutes.
– You can improve this dish by adding 10 oz mushrooms cut into thin slices to the onion.
Preparation time: 1 hour 30 minutes

what's on you workdesk Wednesday. As you can see the usual level of mess has returned! I've been playing with the Hunkydory Fun in the Sun kit that I won at the Bolton craft festival. I've mad two cards from the one set of decoupage, although I need to add some foliage to the flowers on one, actually I got a bit carried away with the flowers but hey ho.
Hope you all have a creative Wednesday, at least the rain means I have an excuse to stay indoors and craft.

Blooming Marvellous
You may remember that I posted my desk a few weeks ago which included some flowers stamped and heat embossed in white from the Chloe stamps I brought at the Bolton craft fair and was colouring with my spectrum noir pencils. I had fun playing with the pencils, not sure if I have the technique correct, but I used blending solution to even out the pencil lines.
I used them to make a card for a swop on a forum with the theme of "blooming marvellous". I used a craft stepper card blank from craftwork cards and used white card and craft card to mat and layer up the panels. The sentiment is from tonic and I layered it up a couple of times to give it some definition. The leaves were made with a Sue Wilson die and I tucked them behind the flowers to fill in the gaps. I added some sparklers from eBay to each of the flowers for a bit of bling.
I was really pleased with the finished card and didn't want to part with it! Apart from the time involved in colouring and had cutting the flowers (I snipped down between the petals so I could curl them more to add dimension), the card was relatively cheap to make as the sparklers were inexpensive on eBay. The biggest problem was that with the overhanging leaves it wouldn't fit in an envelope so I had to make one....
Sunday, 19 July 2015
Anyway, enough whittering and onto the card. I wanted a quick card to send to a friends who is having a rough time at the moment. The image is lili of the valley and I had stamped, die cut it and coloured it with copics ready to craft with some time ago. I used a decorative label die to frame the image and the same yellow to build up the layers of the card and die cut the hugs sentiment and layered it up 3 times to make it pop. I used a soft green card for the background to complement the yellow which I chose to highlight the sunflower. The ribbon was left over from the ribbons I bought to make my wedding bouquet with. I put a length of ribbon round the front of the card and stuck it down with some red liner tape inside the card. A simple white paper insert covered this up. The ribbon is wired and so I could pinch it in slightly where I attached the bow (made with a bow maker) with glue gel. I tried to keep the card reasonably flat so it would post easily, I hope it cheered my friend up a little.

The American Spectator Folds Like A Cheap Tent, And Other Signs Of The End Times
Posted on | September 27, 2014 | 20 Comments
— compiled by Wombat-socho
One of the more disagreeable things I saw on Facebook this week (and, having a number of acquaintances who report crap from ThinkProgress and similar founts of stupidity, that's saying something) was this post by Ken White at Popehat pointing out that the American Spectator had surrendered, horse and foot, to the Dread Pro Se Litigant And Alleged Pedophile Brett Kimberlin. My reaction, like Ken's, boiled down to "WTF? You had the balls to play gadfly against the Clinton Administration, but caved to a petty jerk like this?" Well, that's one less stream of alerts and fundraising e-mails to clutter my in-box. Semi-related: editors at Wikipedia are trying to flush The Federalist down the memory hole on account of their butthurt over Sean Davis' exposure of their hero Neil DeGrasse Tyson as this decade's Dan Rather.
On Wednesday, Army Chief of Staff General Ray Odierno announced that a division headquarters would be heading for Iraq to coordinate the efforts of the advisors, intel weenies, increased Embassy security forces and other ground troops sent to assist in the fight against the Islamic State. I could have sworn we were told there would be no boots on the ground. In related news, the family of the first female fighter pilot in the UAE disowned her Thursday after she took part in air strikes against IS forces in Syria. Oh, and that Khorasan group Obama was bragging about bombing earlier in the week? Didn't actually exist. On the ground, Syrian Kurds in Kobane want weapons, not "humanitarian aid."
Here at home, former Congressman Jim Traficant died of injuries from a tractor accident. You can tell he was a conservative Democrat by the kind of obituaries he's getting from the Drive-By Media. In riot-torn Ferguson, the Justice Department has ordered police to take off bracelets indicating support for accused fellow officer Darren Wilson. The NYT is visibly hoping third-party candidates derail the GOP's drive to retake the Senate this fall. In the recent outbreak of workplace violence in Oklahoma, it seems the suspect was canned for arguing in favor of stoning women, and that he was connected to both terrorist imam Anwar al-Awlaki and the Boston bomber's mosque. But rest easy, there's no connection to Islam here, right?
Speaking of boots on the ground, T.R. Fehrenbach's This Kind of War's Kindle edition is on sale for $1.99. The early chapters dealing with America's rapid demobilization after World War 2 and unreadiness for the Korean War seem especially pertinent these days, as Fate seems intent on dragging President Obama and the rest of us back to Iraq, kicking and screaming.

They will be equipped with those floating suspensor suits like the Baron Harkonnen in Dune. Thus, no promise is technically broken. Learn to think like a Democrat, Wombat!

If I were the Chief of Police in Ferguson, I would have told the DOJ "You're not the boss of me, and you don't get to say what my officers wear on the job. Piss off."

Who's reallyin charge over there since Tyrrell passed away?
September 28th, 2014 @ 1:32 pm
Much has been made of the fact that Ferguson has an overwhelmingly black population while their elected government is almost entirely white. This is why I find the recent racial discord there so puzzling. The fact that white politicians are obviously repeatedly elected with a significant portion of the minority vote is indicative of an extremely effective appeal to the minority population.

Or complete apathy.
September 28th, 2014 @ 7:07 pm
That is actually the correct answer.
September 28th, 2014 @ 7:17 pm
I was being facetious. I read somewhere that only 12% of the potential black voters actually vote. Which is of course why their local government is majority white it's also why they have justification for complaining about it. At the national level slightly less than half the voters get the government they didn't vote for. It's at the local level and only the local level where one's vote truly counts. It should come as no surprise to the residents of Ferguson that they got the government they didn't vote for.

In past election cycles, I've read the claim that black voters often expect a white candidate to be more effective at the part of the job that is interfacing with all those other offices and organizations. It was not clear to me if they were arguing that black voters are racist against blacks, or that they expect the official to be dealing with a bunch of racists, but either way I'm not sure how you'd even check that claim.

Breast Reduction, or Reduction Mammoplasty, is a common plastic surgery procedure for both women and men. Last week, I wrote about Gynecomastia Reduction (Male Breast Reduction). This week the topic is Breast Reduction for Women or Macromastia Reduction.
Breast Reduction for Women
Female Breast Reduction is one of the most rewarding procedures I perform. It combines the improved aesthetics of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery with the functional improvements indicative of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery. Patients with Macromastia, Gigantomastia or large breasts, suffer physical and emotional pain associated with breast that are disproportionate for their body.
The Problem with Large Breasts
Large breasts hurt and get in the way. Macromastia causes neck, shoulder and back pain. The breasts themselves become painful, especially with physical activity. Gigantomastia prevents even routine exercise. Clothing choices are limited, and bras are nearly impossible to find in stores.
Treatment for Large Breasts
So how are large breasts reduced? You may think diet and exercise are the mainstay of treatment. For patients who are severely overweight, it is; however, many patients with symptomatic breast enlargement are at or near their ideal weight. Weight loss in these cases often does nothing to reduce the breasts. On the other hand, it can often make the problem worse by further exaggerating the disproportionate enlargement of the breasts. In fact, most of my patients lose weight after breast reduction is performed.
Scarless Breast Reduction
We have all seen the advertisements for Scarless Breast Reduction. The term is misleading in most cases. Scarless breast reduction uses Liposuction to remove excess breast volume. While the scar from liposuction is much, much smaller than the traditional breast reduction scar, technically, there is a scar.
There are two other limitations with using Breast Reduction via Liposuction. The first is that breast tissue, especially in younger women, is mostly tough, fibrous, glandular tissue, rather than soft, suctionable fat. This makes it difficult to remove the volumes usually required for Breast Reduction and more importantly, symptom reduction. Secondly, liposuction cannot remove skin and lift the breast like the surgical procedure. The removal of breast volume and the performance of a breast lift is the totality of breast reduction surgery. Limiting these, limits results. There are a small number of patients who will benefit from scarless breast reduction, but they are the exception to the rule. Scarless breast reduction cannot do what breast reduction surgery can do.
Breast Reduction Surgery
Macromastia is treated with Breast Reduction Surgery. The procedure removes breast tissue, lifts the breasts and tightens the breast skin. For significant breast enlargement, there is no substitute. The downside is the scar. Sometimes we can eliminate the vertical or horizontal portion of the scar, but the scar is necessary for skin removal. It is a trade-off, and one that women worry about much less after surgery than before. The woman pictured above would not have the results she does without the scar.
Yes, there is a scar, but there is also:
- Reduced back pain
- Reduced shoulder pain
- Reduced neck pain
- Increased mobility and physical activity
- Clothes that fit well
- More styles of clothing available
- Bras available off-the-shelf
- Bras don't dig into the shoulders
- Reduced skin irritation and rashes beneath the breast
- Reduced social anxiety
Breast Reduction Risks vs. Benefits
If the benefits out weight the risks, then this is the right operation for you. The only way to know if Breast Reduction is right for you is to consult with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. A brief medical history and physical examination allows us to identify the best course of action in your case. If you would like to schedule a personalized consultation appointment call (925) 943-6353 or use the contact form in the left column here on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog.
More Tomorrow
Live, on tomorrow's Body Beautiful on KRON4 at 11:00 AM I will be discussing Breast Reduction, Liposuction and Arm Lifts, to name a few. More information and before and after pictures about these plastic surgery procedures will be presented, and since the television show is broadcast live, you can call in with your questions. San Francisco Bay Area, I hope to hear from you, especially if you have Breast Reduction questions.Previous Post Next Post

Microsoft sues retailer Comet over fake Windows CDs [Updated]
Microsoft has sued UK big-box retailer Comet over allegedly producing and distributing fake Windows recovery CDs, claiming the store manufactured over 94,000 sets of discs that it passed off as legitimate to customers. The CDs – providing recovery and reinstallation tools for Windows XP and Vista – were sold to "unsuspecting" PC and laptop buyers in the company's stores, Microsoft says.
"As detailed in the complaint filed today, Comet produced and sold thousands of counterfeit Windows CDs to unsuspecting customers in the United Kingdom. Comet's actions were unfair to customers. We expect better from retailers of Microsoft products — and our customers deserve better, too" David Finn, associate general counsel, Worldwide Anti-Piracy and Anti-Counterfeiting, Microsoft
According to Microsoft's suit, Comet used a factory in Hampshire, UK, to produce the CDs. They were then offered as a paid upgrade to customers in the retailer's stores; usually Windows users are offered the opportunity to burn their own recovery media as part of the setup process.
Comet is currently owned by Kesa Electricals PLC, a French multinational based in Britain, though in November 2011 the company announced it would sell the retailer to equity firms Hailey Holdings and Hailey Acquisitions. Washing its hands of the loss-making chain will cost Kesa in the region of £50m ($78m).
Comet is yet to respond to the suit, though we've got a request in for more information from the company.
Update: Comet has given a statement to the Mirror:
"We note that proceedings have been issued by Microsoft Corporation against Comet relating to the creation of recovery discs by Comet on behalf of its customers. Comet has sought and received legal advice from leading counsel to support its view that the production of recovery discs did not infringe Microsoft's intellectual property.
Comet firmly believes that it acted in the very best interests of its customers. It believes its customers had been adversely affected by the decision to stop supplying recovery discs with each new Microsoft Operating System based computer. Accordingly Comet is satisfied that it has a good defence to the claim and will defend its position vigorously"

UK cannot make Islamic State bride stateless, justice secretary admits
David Gauke's comments appear to contradict those of the home secretary who says he "will not hesitate" to block teen's return.
Saturday 16 February 2019 20:24, UK
The justice secretary has conceded the government may not be able to stop IS bride Shamima Begum returning to the UK as it "can't make people stateless".
Speaking to Sky News, David Gauke warned of the risks of people returning "from dangerous parts of the world" and said the priority was ensuring the safety of the British public.
Mr Gauke's comments appear to contradict those of Home Secretary Sajid Javid who has said he "will not hesitate" to prevent the return of the British teenager.
Mr Gauke said: "Obviously we have to act within the powers that we have."
He added: "It is the case we can't make people stateless, but without getting to drawn into the specifics, the approach that we take as a government, which is the responsible one, is to ensure that we protect the British public.
"That is the key thing.
"There are clearly dangers involved when we have people returning from dangerous parts of the world where they have voluntarily gone to and we need to make sure the British public are protected."
His remarks came as Shamima Begum's family urged the UK government to help bring her home.
She had left Britain as a 15-year-old schoolgirl to join Islamic State in Syria four years ago.
Now aged 19 and pregnant, she has told British media she does not regret leaving the UK and travelling to the terrorists' caliphate, but wants to return home so her child can be looked after.
She has also pleaded not to be separated from her baby if she returns to Britain.
Speaking at refugee camp in northern Syria earlier this week, Shamima Begum revealed she is going to give birth "any day now", having married a young Dutch IS fighter called Yago Riedijk three weeks after she arrived in the country in 2015.
And her assertion she is "not the same silly little 15-year-old schoolgirl who ran away from Bethnal Green four years ago" has been highlighted as a cause for concern by some.
"I don't regret coming here," she said.
The teenager left the UK with two other friends, Kadiza Sultana and Amira Abase, and said she has been living "a normal life" in the caliphate, interrupted by "bombing and stuff".
Kadiza Sultana was reported to have been killed in an airstrike in 2016.
Speaking confidently and seemingly without any fear for her situation, Shamima Begum told The Times she had never seen an execution during her time with IS, "but I saw a beheaded head in the bin".
"It didn't faze me at all," she added.
She also said she had two other children during her time with IS, but both died young due to illness
Meanwhile, the head of MI6 has implied she is "potentially very dangerous".
While not commenting on Shamima Begum's case specifically, intelligence service chief Alex Younger said that someone who had been in "that sort of position" was likely to have acquired certain "skills or connections".
Such an individual cannot be stopped if they decide to return to the UK, he added, but public safety was the first priority.
More Britons who joined Islamic State - mainly women - are believed to have been identified at Syrian camps in the last few days.
Sky sources say it is only thought to be a small number but there could be more British nationals who have yet to be identified.
