Witness, passenger recall sinking yacht
A three-level, $3.25 million luxury yacht sank at a dock in the Tahoe Keys Marina early this week.
On Monday morning, the Sierra Rose sat partially submerged at its prominent location near the mouth of the marina.
The floating dock leading to the vessel jutted out of the water at a 45-degree angle. The lowest level of the 86-foot yacht was completely underwater, while the second level of the vessel was partially submerged. The yacht remained in a similar position Tuesday afternoon.
What caused the vessel to sink is unknown.
Heather Contreras, a Turlock resident who is staying in the Keys, said she heard "a loud and prolonged tearing of metal" about 9:30 p.m. Sunday as the yacht was either pulling in or leaving its dock in the Keys.
At least 15 people were aboard the vessel at the time, Contreras said.
One passenger yelled "oh no" following the sound, Contreras said.
The yacht did not immediately sink and people remained on the vessel for more than an hour after the metallic sound, Contreras said.
Lynn Johnson, a Phoenix, Ariz., resident who said he was on the Sierra Rose Sunday evening disputed much of Contreras' account.
The boat went to Emerald Bay carrying six passengers without incident Sunday, Johnson said.
A guest on the Sierra Rose on previous occasions, Johnson said there were no issues or problems experienced during the Sunday excursion or upon its return to the Keys.
There was no metallic sound, Johnson added.
He said it was only after fellow passengers woke up to standing water in their sleeping cabins that people on board realized something was wrong.
The boat started taking on water about 2:30 a.m. Monday morning. Passengers abandoned ship about 3:10 a.m. and the ship started going down about 3:30 a.m., Johnson said.
South Lake Tahoe police are investigating the incident, but have not determined a cause of the sinking, said Lt. David Stevenson.
The boat's thick steel would not be susceptible to a hull breach and the cause of the sinking won't be known until the vessel is raised, Johnson said.
"Nobody is going to know until they get it up and get it inspected," Johnson said.
Mike Stewart, the owner of the ship, was at the helm Sunday, Johnson said. Stewart did not immediately return a request for comment Tuesday.
Water-quality regulators took a look at the area Monday and found no evidence of pollutants entering Lake Tahoe following the sinking.
The ship has a fuel capacity of 650 gallons. A protective boom was placed around the vessel to contain any oil or gas that could leak from the boat, said Chuck Curtis, supervising water resources control engineer with the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board.
A significant release of pollutants is unlikely because of the sealed nature of the boat's fuel and sewage tanks, Curtis said. Kitchen chemicals were removed from the dry upper level of the vessel, Curtis said.
The Sierra Rose sold at auction for $3.25 million in August 2008. The handcrafted mahogany luxury yacht boasts three bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, granite fireplaces marble tile floors, an outdoor Jacuzzi Tub and a helicopter pad. As recently as 2006, the Sierra Rose was billed as the largest noncommercial boat on Lake Tahoe.
The vessel can hold about 100 guests comfortably in the summer months, according to a online 2008-09 rate sheet. Renting the vessel for a four-hour private event cost $8,000 at the time. Taking the Sierra Rose on the lake requires a licensed captain, according to the rate sheet.
The vessel was brought to Tahoe in three pieces and assembled on a barge at the Tahoe Keys Marina in the winter of 2005, according to a August 2006 article in the Tribune.
Crews were on scene Monday morning with a barge-mounted crane assessing the vessel.

Bank of America's Fraud Conviction Could Be Just the Beginning
dailyfinance.com | October 28, 2013
By Amanda Alix
The recent jury verdict against Bank of America, in which the bank was found to be liable for defrauding government-sponsored entities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by selling the organizations mortgage bonds stuffed with toxic home loans, is significant for two reasons. One is that this is the first time a bank has been found guilty of deliberate wrongdoing in generating faulty investment products that eventually led to the financial crisis.
The other is that the government has finally found the weapon that it needs to prove such misconduct, in the form of a little-known law called the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act. There's little doubt that regulators will be wielding that club more often in the future.
Roots in the savings and loan crisis
As The Wall Street Journal notes, the law was created during the savings and loan crisis in the 1980s to punish financial institutions whose actions adversely affected insured financial institutions. The meaning of the law has recently been expanded to include not only GSEs like Fannie and Freddie, but the banks themselves.
Therefore, Bank of America was being sued for costing itself money when the GSEs demanded the bank repurchase the faulty loans that Fannie and Freddie bought from 2007 and 2008. This is a novel interpretation of the law that has been recently upheld by no fewer than three federal judges.
The act has been used against BofA peer JPMorgan Chase , too. That bank's tentative $13 billion settlement with regulators is based, in part, upon FIRREA charges. A sweet aspect of the law, at least for regulators, is that it allows for a 10-year statute of limitations, twice as long as the usual five-year limit - which is winding down, perhaps due to the government's need to wait until banks were solvent enough, post-crisis, to handle the levying of large fines.
No relief for Bank of America or its peers
It seems certain that future lawsuits against big banks for hawking crummy mortgage-backed securities back in the day will feature this dusted-off legal weapon. The Department of Justice has announced that several institutions, including Bank of America, are under investigation for sales of toxic securities right before the financial crisis.
For its part, Bank of America is also being probed by U.S. Attorney's offices in three states. That's in addition to a new lawsuit it faces from the Federal Housing Finance Agency, which is looking to squeeze $6 billion out of BofA for its part in selling Fannie and Freddie lousy mortgage bonds all those years ago. Considering that FHFA wrung $4 billion out of JPMorgan Chase for similar misdeeds, chances are good that Bank of America won't get away cheaply.
Charging banks enormous fines for bringing down financial liabilities upon themselves through misconduct may seem counterintuitive. Nonetheless, it appers safe to say these kinds of lawsuits aren't going to disappear anytime soon and, in fact, will likely escalate. For Bank of America, saddled as it is with its acquisition of crappy mortgage megaproducer Countrywide, the recent fraud decision is probably only the beginning of a whole new era of legal strife.

Hello, this is John MacArthur, Grace To You Bible teacher. As you have already guessed, we have decided to preempt our regularly scheduled program to bring you a special edition of Grace To You, one that we're devoting to a discussion of yesterday's events. And, frankly, it's a program we're praying will be an encouragement and some comfort, as well as instruction to you and a special encouragement to any members of our listening family who have been directly or indirectly affected by the disasters.
Now we've all seen the graphic news footage of the areas of these horrible disasters on the east coast and it's really still hard to grasp exactly what has happened. I'm sure the details will be coming in for many weeks, and even many months, as the story grows and becomes more dramatic and more complex with each passing moment. So what do we have to add to the flood of information you've already received? Well I hope, as always, we can...we can something that will give you God's perspective, the biblical perspective, the Christian world view on things like this.
So let me encourage you to take the next twenty minutes or so and focus your attention on some very specific biblical truths that I think will help hold you up during the days to come, give you some guidance and provide some help for your family through this very, very difficult event. Hopefully you can capitalize on the obvious opportunities to represent Christ during these dark and spiritual-needy days when that has been made so very clear.
Well, I asked our executive director, Phil Johnson, if he would jump into the studio with me. We're making this broadcast on Tuesday, just after this series of disasters has taken place. Phil is a fellow preacher, preaches often at Grace Church, fellow elder at Grace Church as well as executive director of Grace To You and more than that, a very dear treasured friend and personal confidante and adviser. So I just asked him if he would come in the studio and kind of pose the questions. He's got the ability to analyze what's going on and kind of frame up the questions. I'm just going to ask him to sort of put himself in the position of a listener...What would be on your hearts out there?...and hopefully he'll ask those kinds of questions and it will give me the opportunity to respond.
So, Phil, thanks for being with me and for helping us kind of represent our listening family and see if we can't give them some help today.
PHIL: Thank you, John. I'm filled with questions. I woke up this morning and turned on the television and was confronted with this thing, not realizing what was going on I saw those buildings burning and immediately grasped some sense of the magnitude of this disaster, and my mind was just saying, "No, no." And then I came to grips with the shock of it. And you mentioned emotions that we all feel, let's talk about those emotions, if we can.
In many cases the emotion we feel is a raw, just intense anger. Is there a place for anger among Christians?
JOHN: Yeah, I think...I think you'd have to say God in creating man in His own image gave him the capacity to be angry. The Bible says God is angry with the wicked every day. We know that God is a God of anger. We see the wrath of God poured out throughout redemptive history. We are told in Romans chapter 1 that the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all unrighteousness. We see Jesus make a whip and cleanse the temple. We see Jesus presented to us in John 5 as the one to whom God Himself will pass all judgment and in the end Jesus Himself will be the executioner of the wicked.
But all of that frames up a kind of anger that is, I guess, what we could call "holy anger," or "righteous indignation," as it's been called. I think...I think we have to be angry at what sin has done to this world. I think we have a right to be angry at the wretchedness of sinful people. I think we have to be angry when...when life is taken because murder...that's murder...all of these are acts of mass murder, we certainly have a right to be angry with a mass murderer. We have every right to be angry with a man who shoots up and kills his family, as we've seen in the last few days out here on the west coast, a couple of places, one in our own area. We have every right to be angry with a man who walks laden down with bombs into a pizza parlor in Jerusalem and blows up 21 people. And it isn't that our anger is reserved just for the man himself, although it is certainly right to have a righteous anger against one who violates the command of God not to kill, one who is so wicked and so wretched as to take life. It's a bigger anger than that. It's anger with the whole of the unrighteous reality that exists in our fallen world.
But I think at the same time, we don't necessarily want to be filled with personal vengeance, you know, because the Bible says, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay." The suicide bomber has received his just reward already. We believe the Bible is very clear that those who are without Christ are plunged into an eternity of torment. No one needs to be concerned about that retribution, that's a sealed matter. There's no...there's no need for us to wreak havoc even as a nature in the world as an act of vengeance. But while I'm not the kind of a person who thinks we ought to retaliate and go somewhere and massacre a bunch of people to offset this, I do think we need to put into force as a nation whatever it takes to protect innocent people anywhere and everywhere from evil aggressors. And if there are people behind this, they need to pay in the way the Bible has prescribed that pay. But I think there is a place for righteous indignation. At the same time, we are righteous as God is righteous against sin and we allow the vengeance to belong to Christ.
PHIL: Let's talk about another emotion, a common one, fear. There are probably people listening to us right now who are trying to go about their normal routine and maybe finding themselves in the grip of fear, fear for their lives, fear for their safety, fear for their families, their loved ones. What can people do with the fear?
JOHN: You know, I don't think there's probably anybody working in a high-rise building in a major city right now, and that's all fear. I mean, I think the people just flooded out of those kinds of places that are just...you know, that's the bull's eye. I mean, if you're like we are, we're in a two-story building on the fringe of Los Angeles and nobody is going to fly a plane into this thing. But I think people in urban areas, people in big cities, people working in government buildings, people in military places like that, they're going to feel that personal fear. There's...there's that sort of immediate terror that somebody is going to fly into my building, and I think that gets mitigated as things kind of calm down and people flow out. They may not be real eager to go back again.
But I think there's a larger fear than that. There's a deep-seeded fear and I heard it out of the mouth of a lady when I was walking by your office in the hall. She was being interviewed on the radio and she said, "I'm holding my baby and I'm wondering whether there's a future for my child." Now this is that enormous sweeping fear that takes this one incident and somehow the incident transcends itself and creates an aura of terror that exists just as a general reality.
You know, if you don't know the Lord, if you do not have the hope of eternal life, if you don't believe in a sovereign God who controls everything, if you don't believe your life, its beginning and end is in His care, if you don't believe that, you should fear because there are no guarantees. I can't say to people, "Don't worry, it's not going to happen again." Frankly, this was so successful, there's every human reason to believe they're going to do it again. There's never in the history of humanity been this kind of consequence to any single military action with the exception of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But this is a huge thing and given the fact that today we aren't dealing with nations anymore, we're dealing with individuals now, we're dealing with fanatical individual people who can literally commandeer an airplane and massacre huge amounts of people, you can't even focus your fears anymore.
You know, we're all just sort of recovering from the cold war, the end of the cold war ????? Russia falls apart, eastern Europe falls apart, no longer a threat. And we're all just getting a deep breath. And at the same time, the Islamic world is...is marching to a huge force and we already know that many of the bombers who have been imploding themselves in suicide bombs have been these radical Moslems who are doing this because they think it's going to catapult them right into heaven. And, of course, Moslem theology teaches that you can't know whether you're going to heaven. When you get to the end of your life and you die, you come before God and He decides purely on His own deterministic basis which is somehow swayed to some degree but not finally by whether you've done good works, you get into heaven or you don't, but you can never know. Unless you're a martyr, then you can go right to paradise.
Now we've already seen that, and we don't know whether it was radical Moslems that did this, that information hasn't been given to us, but our national security people tell us that it looks like that kind of thing. Now we realize these people could be anywhere and everywhere in the world so there's this pervasive fear, germ warfare, chemical warfare, all these kinds of things. It's not really...it's not really a very good time, in fact it's the worst time in the history of the world to not know what your future is.
PHIL: So one of the questions I was going to ask you is what could twist a mind so much to cause someone to commit an act like this, knowing it's going to cost him his own life?
JOHN: Well, the kamikaze bombers in World War II did the same thing in Japan. What...what gets to these suicide bombers, and we don't know this in the case of the planes, we do know this in the case of the...well, there's been a hundred bombings in Israel, many of them have been suicide bombers and there have been bombings across America, there have been some suicide bombers as we know...some of these suicide bombers are begun in this process when they're five-years-old. Some are taken at the age of twelve and they're programmed through this.
Now we do know that the radical Islamic fundamentalists are training pilots as well. It would take a pilot to crash a plane like that. So this is a jihad for them, if indeed, and we don't know for sure yet who the ones are who did the damage today, but if it is that, it's a religious way to catapult yourself into heaven.
Apart from that, however, you know there's nothing man won't do. Romans 3 says, "His feet are swift to shed blood." The first crime in the Bible, Cain kills Abel. I mean, ask yourself, "How can Hitler do what he did? How could Stalin massacre fifty million people?" Fifty million people, that's way beyond what this thing is. Hitler, genocide of the Jewish people was his goal, six million Jews. How could he do that? But then how can a mother drown five of her kids? You're talking about the wretchedness of the human heart. It isn't postpartum anything. It isn't Attention Deficit Syndrome that causes a mass murderer. It isn't...it's the wickedness of the human heart. I mean, the heart of a man is desperate. God had to create government and He had to create the fear of death to keep man from killing each other. So I think this is man at his worse and then when you get him under satanic influence where he thinks it isn't an evil act at all, it's a way to get to heaven, you really...you really heighten the motivation.
PHIL: So this is proof of the depravity of man.
JOHN: Proof of the depravity of man and proof of the wretchedness of satanically inspired religion.
PHIL: Let me ask you a hard question, then. We're actually preempting our broadcast on election and you have always taught that God is sovereign over everything that happens, how could such a horrific thing happen if God is in control?
JOHN: It happens because everybody dies. Nothing happened to those people, Phil, that wasn't going to happen to, right? Nothing happened to those people that wasn't going to happen to them. Nothing happened to those people that isn't going to happen to you or me. It might be a car accident, I might get hit by a truck, I might die in a plane crash, you know, going somewhere to preach. My boat might sink when I'm fishing. I might get cancer. I might have a heart attack. Look, wasn't Sunday we had an earthquake here, a 4.2 earthquake? People die in those. I visited...you were there with me...we went to Pompeii, Mount Vesuvius buries the whole city of Pompeii. It happens. Everybody dies. "It's appointed unto man once to die."
I think the big lesson here is not some big prophetic thing. It's not...I don't even think this is apocalyptic. I don't think, I don't think this is...Oh, this is the end of the earth. I'm sure the people who have, you know, 20 thousand people died in an earthquake in Mexico City, we read about tens of thousands people dying in floods in Bangladesh in India and places like that. I mean, this is life, this is everybody is going there. The question is, we don't know when we're going to die. There are people in that building who already had cancer and the clock was ticking. There are people who had they lived would have died in other ways. I mean, the big question is not am I going to die? That is already answered. That isn't a hard question because sin produces death.
So in answer to your question, why, you know, how can God allow this? "The wages of sin is death," so death exists. And God says, "Look, you don't have to die and go to hell. Here's the gospel. Here's the salvation that I offer you in Jesus Christ." And so, you know, Jesus says, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, tell them there is a heaven and that they are sinners, but there is forgiveness and there is hope."
So I think the only thing that can take out the fear is personal faith in Jesus Christ. That is the only thing that can take out the fear. If you have hope only in this world, Paul said, you're of all men most...what?...miserable. I mean, what are you going to look to? Whether you're living in the shadow of a volcano, whether...and this is in ancient times, I mean, people were dying under all kinds of natural disasters throughout all of human history. Look at the Flood, the whole world died. But everybody is going there. Nothing happened that wasn't going to happen.
PHIL: All right, you're speaking though from the perspective of those who died, what about their loved ones who are struggling with the grief and intense pain of this? This is other worldly pain for them.
JOHN: And I would say for those without Christ equally, there's no comfort because the parting is permanent. There's no comfort. Comfort is only in our hope in Christ.
You know, if, for example, you lost...let's say you lost a non-Christian friend, a non-Christian family member, let's say the Christian lady in New York and her husband died in the building, how do I comfort her? Her husband is in eternal punishment, how do I comfort her?
There's only one way to comfort her and that's to tell her that God has promised to her eternal life in Christ in His presence in heaven where there's no more sorrow, no more tears, no more crying, no more death. And the former things are forgotten. There is a heaven for her and forever she will never remember the pain of this life. That's the only comfort I have for her.
If on the other hand her husband who died is a Christian, then she's comforted in a reunion. If neither of them are Christians, there's no comfort.
PHIL: So one of the great lessons in all this about the nature of life and humanity would be what James said in James 4, right?
JOHN: Yeah, your life is a vapor, it appears for a little time and it vanishes away. Don't say tomorrow we're going to do this, and tomorrow we're going to do that, you don't know because you don't know what tomorrow brings.
The lesson, the one great lesson is everybody is going to die and some people are going to know they're going to die and they're going to be able to plan for it and go through a process of illness or whatever or aging, but there's also the very real possibility that you're going to die when you least expect that, but die you will. It's appointed unto men once to die, Hebrews 9:27, after this the judgment.
I mean, look, God has sent a huge wake-up call to the world about the sudden reality of death on a large scale. You know, this is somewhat like previews of coming attractions because there is going to be massive judgment and death during the great time of the Tribulation yet to come. This is a foretaste of what horrors the world is going to experience.
But, you know, if you read Revelation when the Tribulation comes and, first of all, a fourth of the world dies, in that brief period of time, at the same time there will be an unprecedented preaching of the gospel. A hundred and forty-four thousand from all twelve tribes of Israel preaching the gospel, two witnesses with miraculous powers preaching the gospel, obviously over media, an angel flying through heaven preaching the gospel...I really think that it is always in the great times of judgment that God cranks up the preaching of the gospel.
And I will say this to all those unfaithful pastors and all of those unfaithful churches and all of those people fooling around out there with this shallow, trivial services on Sunday and try to entertain people, if you've been doing that, you need to repent and get serious about preaching a serious message in a serious day. If anybody thinks seriously, they're going to run from places like that and they're going to find places where God is speaking out of His Word the truth about life and death and time and eternity. This should be serious enough to shut down the trivia going on in the name of Christianity.
PHIL: So, John, your remarks remind me of an incident in the New Testament when a tower fell and killed some people and people came and asked Jesus...what happened here? Were these people worse sinners than the rest of the people? Your answer is very much like His.
JOHN: Yeah, Luke 13.
PHIL: Right.
JOHN: Yeah, a tower fell and the people said, "You know, were they worse than everybody else? Why did the tower fall on them?" His answer was, "You better be careful, you might die too, it could happen to you."
The point is no, they're not any worse than you, it just happened as a warning to you. It happened and it could happen to you, nobody is exempt. It could happen to me, I'm prepared. A tower could fall on me, I'm prepared. It could fall on you, you're prepared. And most of the people probably listening to this program today, you Grace To You people, you're ready, the tower falls on you, you just go right into the presence of the Lord. "Far better to depart and be with Christ." But there's no guarantee. Those people that die under a natural disaster, or a construction disaster or something like that, they're not any worse than anybody else. Nothing happened to them that isn't going to happen to everybody.
PHIL: So what would your appeal be to those who are without Christ who might be listening to us?
JOHN: All I can say to you dear, dear friend is if you want to eliminate fear, then you have to know your future is secure. You have to know that you have an invisible means of support. You have to know that God is carrying for you and that you're not going to die until it's His time. And when you do, you're going immediately into His eternal presence where there is blessing forever more. You have to prefer heaven over hell. And what ever sacrifice you think you have to make...Well, I can't, you know, commit adultery, I can't be a homosexual, and I can't lie and cheat and steal, I'll have to give up all the fun things of life, I'm not willing to do that.
Well, that's like the fool, you know, who gains the world and loses his eternal soul. All I can say is you better run to Christ who will forgive your sin and who will embrace you if you will embrace Him by faith as Lord and Savior and He will grant to you eternal life. And then death for you is not an ending, it's a beginning. It's not...it's not a disaster, it's the greatest benediction that life can offer because it takes you into the glories of eternal life.
PHIL: John, without a doubt there were people directly impacted by this that are members of the Grace To You family, people listening to us today, would you have any special words of counsel or comfort for them?
JOHN: What we need to do is come together in prayer. If you're able, let me ask you to set aside what you're doing for a moment, and join me as we bring these many needs before the throne of God. Let's pray.
Father, as we watch what has been going on, as we contemplate thee horrible events, the death of perhaps thousands and thousands of people, we're all experiencing all kinds of emotions, anger and fear and anxiety and shock and disbelief and pain. There are many who are afraid they're losing the future and is this some kind of portend of a horrible world to come? Father, we pray that we might know the comfort with which only You can comfort our hearts, the comfort that comes from the affirmation that You are our great God, You are our sovereign God and You're still sitting on the throne, You're still ruling and Your purpose is yet being fulfilled.
We also need to pray for people who have been affected by this, those who have been killed, certainly have loved ones, family, friends that are going to be devastated by the loss of life, some of those people, no doubt, who have died were listeners of this radio program, some of them have entered into Your presence, some have gone out of Your presence forever, we pray for the families of those people. We pray, too, for those who were injured, some perhaps still languishing somewhere in the dark recesses of the rubble of these places, not even yet found. We pray for those who are in that condition that they might have the time and the opportunity to draw to mind the gospel and to embrace Christ.
We pray for those who risk their lives to help, those rescue workers, authorities, police, military, fire people, all of those who work at medical services who are so engaged now in caring for people, finding them and rescuing them and trying to meet their devastating physical needs. And particularly, Lord, we come back to those who have lost their friends and their family members and their co-workers and their lives have been shattered by this, we pray a special, special benediction of grace upon them.
We pray for our listeners in the WMCA New York City area, our listeners in the WAVA Washington D.C. area who will particularly be affected. And because we know that several of the flights that were really where the suicide bombers took the planes into the buildings were coming to Los Angeles, we know that there are people in our own city, probably people in our own church who are affected by these deaths.
And then, Lord, we want to pray for our leaders. We pray especially for our President. We know his efforts have been directed at the typical political banter that goes on between the Republicans and the Democrats and all of a sudden that seems so unimportant and the bar has been raised so high, we pray that You'll give him and those around him the strength and the wisdom and the insight and the fortitude to take the leadership and do what needs to be done for the security of our nation and the well-being of people around the world.
We pray also that the church will mobilize as a body of believers and engage itself in prayer and any other way that can help meet needs. And may the church do what it really does best, to love people and to show them Jesus Christ in practical ways as well as bringing the perspective of God's Word to bear on what ultimately is a spiritual crisis.
Father, we thank You that You are the God of this world and You are in control of everything. Nothing happens outside Your purpose, everything is within the framework of Your plan. And we pray, Lord, that You will grant us the wisdom to see all of that as it unfolds before us and may we be used in ways that can bring You glory even in this terrible crisis. May somehow it turn the hearts of the people of this country to eternity and in taking a look at eternity may they be drawn to You and to Christ, the One who has conquered death for us through His own resurrection. We pray in His name. Amen.
Phil, I want to thank you. We could go on and on but I think we're out of time today. Let me just say some things in conclusion. If you've been directly affected by yesterday's events, would you do something for me? Write to me today, regular mail, e-mail, let me know specifically how we can pray for you in your situation. We really want to come alongside, we've got a whole building full of volunteers here who will embrace your prayers as well. Let me give an address for you who may be new to our family. Grace To You, Box 4000, Panorama City, California, 91412...Grace To You, Box 4000, Panorama City, California, 91412. If you have pen and paper, you can jot down our e-mail address, email@example.com...email@example.com. And we have set up a special phone line just for urgent phone requests. If you have any prayer requests, please call (661) 295 6288...661) 295 6288.
This final important note. I'll be addressing these circumstances to my congregation this coming Lord's day. We're recording the entire message I'll be giving and air it on Grace To You next week. In the meantime, we'll be back with our study of divine election tomorrow, I think this study will have renewed impact on your life as you see God's sovereignty spelled out in all its glory. So join us here on Grace To You each day this week. And on behalf of all of us who bring you Grace To you, know we love you and you're in our prayers in the days and weeks to come.

Moments after pressing "publish" on the item regarding the rumor that the Browns have been sold, a statement from owner Randy Lerner popped into our emailbox.
"In connection with current rumors and press inquiries, I can report that I've been approached by Mr. Jimmy Haslam, who is interested in making an investment in the Cleveland Browns," Lerner says. "We are currently in negotiations and both sides have agreed to keep that dialogue and its details private. Given that any transaction would require League approval, care has been taken so that this process will not be disruptive to the organization, in particular the football team, as it prepares for the upcoming season. We will share further details or make an announcement if it becomes necessary."
We're not quite sure what that means. By using only the term "investment," Lerner's statement doesn't reveal whether he's considering selling a minority share, a majority share, or all of the team.
Haslam is president and chief executive officer of Pilot Flying J, one of the largest privately-held companies in the U.S. The company is headquartered in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The good news is that, if the University of Tennessee alum purchases the Browns, he won't have to alter his game-day wardrobe.
UPDATE 10:03 a.m. ET: The folks at ESPN 850, who got the ball rolling an hour ago on this story, are treating it as a given that Haslam will be buying the team from Lerner. The Browns, through spokesman Neal Gulkis, have declined to elaborate on Lerner's statement.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 13, No. 1 Spring 1986
Baladouni UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS
Abstract: The first archival period (1600-1663) of the (English) East India Company is marked by an absence of accounting materials. A small number of financial statements have escaped peril, however, and found their way to the India Office Library and Records in London. Of these, two are of singular interest. Along with related Company minutes, these statements are analyzed and interpreted in this paper. They shed some light on the reporting practices and concepts of the early years of the incorporated joint-stock company.
The history of modern English corporate accounting and report-ing begins with the incorporated joint-stock company. Although this form of business organization emerged in England in the second half of the 16th century, it was not until the foundation of the East India Company in 1600 that it acquired distinctive charac-teristics.
For the first two centuries, the incorporated joint-stock company developed rather slowly. In the case of the East India Company, for example, permanent capital, a characteristic of this form of enter-prise, did not exist until some sixty years after the formation of the Company [Scott, 1968, Vol. 2, pp. 122-3, 128]. From 1600 to 1657, the Company operated with terminable stocks, issued for a single or a series of voyages. At various points in the life of a particular stock or venture, available proceeds were divided pro rata and distributed to the adventurers (shareholders). The distribution of proceeds was actually liquidation of invested capital as well as dis-tribution of profits. For this reason, it is appropriate to refer to these distributions as "divisions" [Scott, 1968, Vol. 1, pp. 153, 159-60].
This study was made possible by a grant from the American Philosophical Society. Two transcripts of Crown-copyright records in the India Office Records appear in this paper by permission of the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office.

Fat gets a bad rap, mostly for its association with weight gain and heart disease. However, fats are an important part of a balanced diet. Our bodies need fat for warmth, protection, and to carry out vital functions.
The fats we eat effect the amount and type of cholesterol in our blood. There are 3 major types of cholesterol in the body, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and triglycerides. High levels of LDLs (known as bad cholesterol) and triglycerides are a major risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), which leads to heart attack or stroke. However, high levels of HDLs (known as good cholesterol) reduce the risk of CAD.
The trick is to know which fats are good and which are bad and create a balanced diet with this knowledge. Dietary choices can be confusing but some simple fat facts below may help.
The Bad
You probably have heard about saturated and trans fats. These fats do more harm than good. They raise you bad cholesterol levels and lower your good cholesterol. Limit these fats as much as possible.
Saturated fats are associated with animal products, such as red meat, poultry with skin, lard, cream, butter, and whole-fat dairy. It can also be found in in bakery items and fried foods. Fortunately, you can control the amount of saturated fat in your diet without having to completely give up these foods. Look for low fat version of meat and dairy and limit your portion sizes of foods with saturated fats.
Most trans fats are additives, that are generally considered the worse type of fat. You can find them in deep fried foods, and bakery items like cookies and donuts. On food labels, trans fats may appear as partially hydrogenated oils. Again, these treats do not have to be completely eliminated, however, look for options that are made with healthier fats. For example, many restaurants have chosen to eliminate or reduce trans fats in their foods. Again, limit your portion sizes. This will allow you to eat your favorite foods without the negative consequences.
That's the bad news, now on to the good.
The Good
Good fats help lower the bad (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides, while boosting the good (HDL) cholesterol. They should be the preferred choice in your diet. These fats are mostly plant-based and can be found on food labels as monounsaturateded fats or polyunsaturated fats.
Monosaturated fats give you energy and help keep your body warm. This type of fat can be found in foods like vegetable oils, avocados, peanut butter, nuts, and seeds. In addition to their fat benefits, monounsaturated fats also contain vitamin E and antioxidants.
Polyunsaturated fats may also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are heart healthy fatty acids which your body cannot produce on its own. This type of fat can be found in soybean, corn, or safflower oils. It can also be found in dark meat fish, like salmon, or trout.
But before you eat too much of a good thing, remember that fats are very high in calories. A little bit goes a long way. In general, calories from all fats should no more than 30% of your total calories.
Now you know what is good for you. The next step is to learn to make those changes to your menu.
The Scoop on Spreads
So, which is better? Butter, margarine, or something else? When looking for a spread, keep in mind some differences when you read the label:
- Compare trans fat content. Try to find spreads with no trans fats.
- Look for the daily value for saturated fat and choose the lowest amount.
- Try alternative spreads made with:
- Soybean oil
- Canola oil
- Olive oil
If you find labels that are alike, eat what you think tastes best, but be aware of the fat content. You may find a healthier choice that tastes better than butter if you try different items.
How to Make the Change
Making the change is not as difficult as you may think. Many food companies have made changes to their product to offer healthier fat choices. The first thing is to learn to read nutrition information on food labels. Try practicing at home before you go to the store. Look at what you already have in your kitchen.
Next, you will want to replace as many saturated fats with unsaturated fats as possible. Remember, fats eaten in moderation are a part of a healthy diet, so do not be afraid to add the right ingredients to your menu. Here are some dietary recommendations:
- Use more fat-free or low-fat dairy like milk, cheese, yogurt, or cream.
- Look for lean cuts of red meat.
- Substitute meals of red meat with fish.
- Replace solid fats in recipes with oil when possible.
- Try to enhance a meal with a handful nuts, beans, legumes, or seeds when you can.
- Try using walnuts or sunflower seeds as a snack substitute.
- Eat food with natural oils, like olives, nuts, avocados, or fish.

Welcome to Warpshadow
Well... unless you have spend the last couple of weeks in hybernation, you know that there is something coming.
Since today, we have a better idea of what might be hitting us in Tyranuary.
Here is my Favourite...
Broodbrothers and sisters!
The emprors tarot points straight on January for the big release we are all waiting for.
So, what shall we name that special month?
Give your vote here.
Broodbrothers and sisters!
Something stirs in the warp and if the rumours are true or not, doesn't really matter.
I want to quote our Member Nard Prime
The pressures of real life are irrelevant......Only Tyranids matter
Are you spending too much time at work?........Take some leave
Are you looking after the baby at home and changing nappies?......Get the wife or husband to do it instead
Are you studying?........your future can wait
In this Spirit,
Broodbrothers and -sisters!
Thought it appeared that I have rested my six limbs for to long, be aware, that the opposite is the case.
On Games Day Germany I met with our beloved Magos Phil "the Midgardsnake" Kelly.
From the many secrets he is carrying, he could share not a single one with me. But the glitter in his eyes told me another story. As a true servant of the Skymother he admited nothing.
Nontheless he assigned me to give his best wishes and greetings to you, fellow Broodbrothers and sisters and said, that the time will come where we all will be united in the glory of the skymother.
Until then we all should only be recognised by our secret Warpshadow-Greeting
Find out HERE why!
Oh, while we are at it:
The winner gets a Miniature,
build and sculpted by Hydra
painted by Terrorfex!
What are you waiting for?
Broodbrothers and sisters!
Thanks to the formidable Techmage Hybrid our Forum is back up and running.
Thank the skymother for such fast and uncomplicated help!
Praise be!
Fellow Broodbrothers and Broodsisters,
some of you might have already noticed that the content of the Forum has been deleted.
It has been known to the Gestalt, that our Server Host had serious security issues.
We figure that these issues lend to the destruction of our beloved home. We will try to get the board fixed asap. Please be patient with us, since even Lictors have trouble finding little, nerdy hackers.
In all seriousness. Where is the joy in destroying the work of others?
As it appears, that our Host has, in the result of cleaning their servers of infected data, deleted most of our forums.
Rest asured that the Gestalt is working on that.
Tarna opened her eyes, forced from her dream by the violent rumbling. She clambered out of her bed and rushed through the living area of her home without skipping a beat. Swinging open the door to her children's bedroom she urged her two siblings out of bed. Her first thought was that it was an earthquake, as the region she lived in was prone to them, but as she and her children left their home for the safety of the streets and looked up at the early morning sky horror sunk into the pit of their stomach.
The cool air was thick with a red mist that reminded Tarna of giving birth, and a casual glance upwards revealed dozens of fleshy bags falling to the ground, their impacts causing the incessant tremors. Tarna's youngest daughter; Tash clutched her stuffed animal and began to cry, as her older sister; Sima begged for their father to return.
Tarna and her children lost their balance as a deep cracking sound was issue from beneath their feet and several worm-like creatures burst from the ground, their mouths opening up like a flower made of knives and sickles. The closest creature grabbed Sima by the arm, rending her flesh; Tarna grabbed onto her daughter and fought with all of her strength but was soon dragged into the hellish hole that the beast appeared from. Tash began to run into her house as she heard her family's last screams.
Several hours later a Tauros assault vehicle rolled by the house, its flamer gushing liquid promethium onto the horde of alien creatures. A local militiaman holding onto the hand railing looked towards the home and saw the bloody holes in the ground and a dirty stuffed animal lying in the dirt. He began to weep.
Hello all you bugs!
I'm happy to announce the creation of a brand new Warpshadow contest. We're able to host this one thanks to the generosity of one of our members; Sofacoin!
He throws in a brand new Trygon-Kit!
Dear Broodbrothers and Sisters!
It is time again for the spawning vats to turn moist and the nornqueens busy.
The 5th Competition is here, go and check it out.
Dear Brood Brothers and Sisters!
After a fierce run between the contestants the hive minds vote is final.
In first place we have chuckles, whose "Inflecteuthis" received a shiny 11 votes.
To leave your comment and see the 2nd and 3rd place, please go here:
Broodbrothers and sisters!
It is now time for you to raise your voice and vote for your favourite non-combat unit.
Voting ends July 8th, so be sure to set your mark, since the winner takes a brand new trygon kit home.
May the skymother be with you!
Dear Broodbrothers and Sisters!
We all know the fighting units of our beloved Tyranids. But there is more to it.
Where the mere humans have Servitors attending to certain tasks, the Adeptus Munitiorum or Adeptus Dialogus working behind the schemes of their armies, Tyranids have such creatures too.
Jump in the gene-pool and take part in the 4th Warpshadow Competition, create your own non-combat unit and win a plastic Trygon kit sponsored kindly by Heavy Support Games.
Send your drones here to get further information: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=14581
May the Skymother be with you!
Dear Broodbrothers and sisters!
It's that time again. Starting June 1st, Warpshadow will be running a brand-new contest! The winner gets to take home a brand spanking new plastic Trygon kit compliments of Heavy Support Games.
Fortunately the contest parameters haven't been decided yet so if you get yourself over to this thread, you can help decide in what YOU want to do.
Dear Broodbrothers and Sisters!
Welcome to our new Frontsite (again we have to thank Hybrid for his restless and great work).
The board is back in our claws. To prevent our beloved board from hits like we had, the responsibility and ownership is split and the bills will be payed.
So, come on, jump in the digestion-pool and take part in building an even better Warpshadow.
Dear Broodbrothers and Sisters! Yes, we are back online!
We dearly hope that all the spread fleets will find their way back home soon!
For those who haven't read it somewhere else:
Warpshadow went offline unexpectedly so we contacted the web host, asking for the access to our board, since our departed friend and much loved community member Accommodator had all the info.
Learning about Accommodator's passing, the host followed protocol and shut us down until the legal side of things had been figured out.
The Gestalt has been working on this feverishly and as of now we have our beloved board back.
I would like to thank Ross' wife for helping us out and would also like to thank Mr. Pink and especially Hybrid for bringing us back online.
Give it up for these heroes of our community!
It is our sad duty to inform the members of Warpshadow that Ross Nickle, better known to us all as Accommodator, passed away suddenly on the evening of Monday March 22. Ross is survived by his wife and daughter.
If you're shocked, know that we are even more so. Anyone who has been fortunate enough to meet Ross, as myself, Moloch, and Hydra have, would quickly realize that the man was as dependable in real life as he ever was in this magical cyber world of ours. Just as Accommodator may have seemed like a pillar of this community—someone who would always be around to solve our problems and slay our spambots—so, too, did Ross Nickle seem like someone who was dependable to the point of immortality.
I think we all had so much faith in Ross Nickle that we were almost counting on him to always be around to steer Warpshadow true. And it was more than a simple matter of taking him for granted. If you ever met Ross, you could attest to the fact that there was something about him...something that was so good at never being beaten and always being prepared, as if it were impossible for him to not be prepared.
But, to quote a cliché, Death makes fools of us all.
In addition to being the Hive Mind of the Warpshadow board for the last few years, Ross also never hesitated to put his money and his time behind cockamamie schemes like the 2008 and 2009 Games Day tables. He was at once project manager and lead cheerleader for the tables. Whenever the build team would get distracted elsewhere or get bogged down in the details of one particular part of the project, Ross would set us straight. He was also the one to come up with the idea and the solution for installing lights in the table, a little something extra that likely went a long way to winning Warpshadow the title of Best Table at Games Day Toronto 2008. Though we failed to give as strong a showing at Games Day 2009 (and I'll take the fall for that -Pinky), we are glad that Ross got to share in the 2008 victory.
Having to make such an announcement, we are reminded of the news of Warseer/Rumour guru Brimstone's passing a few months back. Though Accommodator was by no means as widely known as Brimstone, there is a similarly odd feeling about the whole thing: a feeling of a duality of lives lived. Ross had a very real life, out in the real world, but he also had another life here and in similar online communities. Just as the process of mourning has been going on for some time in the outside world, we hope that we can start the process here, on the board that is a second home to many of us, a board that was both Ross Nickle's second home and his second job right up until the end.
If anyone has any stories of interactions with Ross that they'd like to share, or any condolences for Ross' family, please take this thread as an open forum for expressing them.
Additionally, the members of the Gestalt are trying to come up with some suitable way for the community to memorialize Ross, but we'll post more on that once we've sorted it out.
Until then, Love and Tentacles

Sierra snowpack at 66 percent of average
The water found in the Sierra Nevada snowpack Thursday was just 66 percent of the long-term average, according to California water managers.
"The snowpack hasn't actually lost much water content since the season's first survey on January 2, when it was 134 percent of normal for that date, but it hasn't continued to build as winter has deepened because of the continuing warm weather that set in after the storms of late November and early December," according to a Thursday statement from the California Department of Water Resources.
Surveyors found 29 inches of snow at Philips Station, near the entrance to Sierra-at-Tahoe Ski Resort, Thursday. The snow contained the equivalent of 13.4 inches of water, 54 percent of the long-term average for the site for this time of year.
Northern California is headed toward the driest January/February since records began being kept in 1920, according to the statement.
Just 2.2 inches of rain has fallen in the region since December. The next driest January/February was in 1991, when Northern California received 4 inches of precipitation over the two-month span.
Forecasters said there could be a weather turnaround in March, but storms are unlikely to make up the expected deficit in California water supplies.

The Cutsman, In Short
The Cutsman is humanoid in its outlines, and in the dark (its most common habitat), or from a great distance, it resembles a very tall (it stands about 7 feet tall), thin man wearing very strange armor- armor seemingly composed of blades.
However, closer proximity to the Cutsman reveals that it is not at all a man, and it is questionable as to whether there is anything left in this bizarre and murderous entity that even approximates humanity.
The creature's seven-foot-tall frame seems elongated and spindly- if it were indeed a man, it would be a spindly, emaciated one. It carries itself in an odd posture, its shoulders stooped and its legs bowed so that it resembles a kind of fiendish ape.
The creature's flesh is hidden from head to foot in an elaborate "armor", a very unique armor indeed- for the Cutsman's armor is made entirely of overlapping hinged blades, of various sizes and shapes, like a thousand pairs of rusty, chipped scissors, shears, calipers, knives, scalpels, saws, and other blades for which there is no conventional description. Some snap together like fins, others are layered like scales, and others simply hang together to form intricate multi-layered plates. The blades are arranged across the Cutsman's body like plates of armor- a large section covering its pectoral region and stomach, its legs and arms, its upper chest and neck, and other minor collections in other regions.
In the interstices of this scissor-armor, violet-pink flesh can be seen, looking puffy and irritated. Jagged, dark-purple veins can be seen standing up against the skin, trembling with the force of the Cutsman's racing blood. Trickles of blood well and drip from an infinite multitude of small cuts which lace the creature's skin.
The creature's elongated, blade-cased arms end in horrible claws, each of the six talons a scissor-blade or curved knife. These "hands", if they can be called such, are the monster's primary weapon, and it wields them like a man wields a sword, though with the inhuman dexterity and speed necessary to dice a human being into shreds.
The Cutsman's head is elongated and strangely-shaped, rather more like that of an insectile creature or a huge mantis than a human. It's face is encased in a smooth, dull mask of iron. There are no visible openings or indentations in this mask, nor any indication of how the creature sees or senses its way, save for a thin line straight down the center of the mask, and the stamp of an ancient and complicated primotological symbol whose meaning is lost (though sorcerors and those studied in symbology may perhaps percieve a connection to Injjrag Hruy, the Hidden Path of Frozen Stars).
It has been reported by those few who have who have encountered the Cutsman and lived that the crease down the center of the mask is, in fact, a line of division- the Cutsman's mask was reported to split open like the wing-casings of a beetle (or, perhaps more aptly, like scissors) to reveal its true face, something so unbelievably abominable that it drove men mad to look upon it.
On the back of this mask there are three pairs of blades forming a fan-like shape, like a bizarre headdress made of scissors.
All over the monster's body, coating its blades, claws, and spines with a dull stain, is dried blood, both ancient and new, both its own and that of its victims. More gruesome souvenirs of the Cutsman's run-ins often adorn its blades, such as severed portions of its slain foes and the ropy remnants of their ichors and organs. In places upon the Cutsman's body, strange mosses and fungi grow, coating small portions of the monster's surface with alien encrustations.
The thing's smell is abominable, a combination of rotting human flesh, strange ichor and the unnatural scents of alchemical raegents and pleromatic emanations, and an indefinable tang which reminds all who smell it of something unnameable.
Though the creature moves fairly silently, when it comes closer, the sound of squeaking metal and squelching flesh, coupled with a noxious insectoid buzz which seems to follow the creature everywhere.
Origin of the Cutsman
Buried deep within the underhalls and endless catacombs which lie beneath the city of Mehxaiyul in Ozhun, below the sub-basements, cesspools, and cisterns of the city, below the heavy, fortress-like arches and pillars of the ruins of the Commanderies and the super-intricate, heavily-carven and glyphed architecture of the late Yorae Dynasty (marked with the sharp-edged, webbed, masculine glyphs of that empire of antiquity), there lie the crumbling, nearly-vanished ruins of the Iron Triangle Nation.
In this stratum of the underhalls of Mehxaiyul, buried within layer upon layer of iron-reinforced stone, and layed out according to complex pleromatic factors, there is an ancient vault, its innermost walls made of a strange, black, frictionless stone, marked with the ancient ecsoi-spiral glyphs of the Iron Triangle Nation (which sages, for the most part, have yet to translate). This black chamber, not entered by human beings in over 1,400 years, was the High Laboratory-Shrine of the Sorceror-Primotologists.
The horror known as the Cutsman began here, over a thousand years ago. The Iron Triangle Nation, in its endless war against the Six-Fingered Lords of Djunzul (in the days following the Great Curse, these loathsome and half-human lords, the progeny of miscegenation between men and a strange primordial race of armored amphibians, established their tyranny over the southern coasts of Bukdek), enlisted the aid of the sorceror-primotologists, masters of the mystical science of primotology and of the ways of magic, scientists of the pleromatic flows and the strange paths of the mystical emanations. These sorcerors brought forth many strange and wondrous magics, and recreated wonders of science and magic not seen since the Great Curse changed the world and brought an end to the age of the savage war-kings.
In the time of the fifth war against the Six-Fingered Lords, a new and mysterious project was begun in the Laboratory-Shrine. It was not strange for the doors of the great laboratory complex to be shut, or for its towers to be unlighted for weeks, but there were other signs of something strange occuring within the Laboratory.
During this time, the leader of the sorceror-primotologists and the unquestioned master of the Laboratory-Shrine was the Master-Abbot Hllunchul the Crimson Dunzyuc. Myanxha's The Blue Histories (one of three remaining texts which give any idea of the history and travails of the Iron Triangle Nation, which remains shrouded in mystery) describe the Master-Abbot as a primotologist non pareil and a devotee of Enoe, the Beetle God of the Blue Mask (who the modern Ozhuniyac consider to be a greater aspect and an avatar of one of their bizarre gods), and thus kept strange hours and stranger customs. He is described as a cold and unloving man, a man of hard stares and humorless frowns, who found companionship not among fellow men but among tomes, charts, statues, and shrines, who found fascination only in the alien trajectories of the primotological paths and the serpentine cycles of pleromatic symbols, in the invocation of strange otherworld gods and in the chiming of the magician's bells, in the science of the chill stars and the invisible worlds and planes beyond mankind's natural understanding.
It was the Master-Abbot who had conceived of the new project of the sorceror-primotologists, a grandiose theory which he submitted to the almighty leaders of the Iron Triangle Nation. He provided them the assurance that "within a year, the Six-Fingered Lords shall tremble before our power".
The plan was more than just ambitious, however. Within the depths of the Laboratory, the Master-Abbot, along with a hand-picked cadre of primotologists, had begun to create a god.
Hllunchul's plan called for the synthesis of life through primotology, the use of the mystic sciences to create a post-mortal frame, and the infusion of this frame with pleromatic essence. This body was to be arranged and arrayed so that it could control and reorder the pleroma, more than any human being's ability without the use of sorcery, implanted with ancient machines to strengthen it against the power of the pleroma it wielded. With this god-thing, the Iron Triangle Nation would have a potent weapon, a trump card with which to smash and finally conquer the Six-Fingered Ones.
But Hllunchul had ulterior motives. For Hllunchul, Master-Abbot of the Primotologists, was not only a cold and cruel man, and a devotee of sorcery, but also a power-hungry, ambitious, devious, and calculating mastermind, a Machiavellian plotter who sought to take the throne of the Iron Triangle Nation for himself. His plan was this: he would create this powerful new being, a being under his own control; with its power, he would lay to waste the Six-Fingered Lords, and then he would turn upon the Iron Triangle Nation itself, using his god-thing to take power for himself and create a new nation ruled by a nobility of primotologists, with himself as enlightened autarch.
The primotologists gathered their ingredients. In secret, they prepared their sacred laboratory, laying down ritual designs and purifying the space. They called upon Li'mul, the Yellow Plane of Experiments, to rise in concordance with their mortal dimension and emanate into their doings. Then, they began.
The first months of the project entailed the growing of what was to be the body of the creature. Using the corpse of a beheaded man and the remnants of an aborted foetus, they created a general frame. They grew, constructed, and also summoned alien and bizarre organs, and created a necrotronic frame in which the human parts and alien portions combined into a hideous mass. This frame was immersed in a strange fluid, two parts liquid skimmed from the Pits of Dajjal in far-off Tsanra, one part human blood, and one part pleromatic sciofluid brewed in the cauldrons of the primotologists themselves.
When their hideous embryo had become ready, the fluid was drained, and the twitching, tentacular mass of veins and arms and ropy, sticky flesh (barely recognizable as having human outlines) was hauled with hooks into the specially-consecrated chamber, where the cruel machine-tools of the primotologists began their work. Dissecting the man-mass, they began to implant the mysterious machines gleaned from the days before the Great Curse.
More denigrations and bizarre rituals followed- the Invocation of Hnur'ggul the Nine-Handed, the calling upon of the powers of many strange gods and beings of the Outer World, many blessings and invocations of strange planes, dimensions, and emanations, the infusion of the corpus with pleromatic energies and the alignment of its aura, and then, finally, the fashioning of the creature's armor.
After months of work, the creature's semi-solid body was loaded into the Pleromatic Oven of Xyichul, where, as it the interstices of its gooey body howled and released alien screams, the bladed armor (meant to align and distribute its pleromatic essence in the most effective way) was sealed onto its body, melting flesh and metal together into one mass so that it would never again be free of the terrible pain of the armor.
The creature, still screaming and howling, flailing in agony, was locked down, and upon its abominable countenance (which no primotologist looked upon, for fear of madness, though they as sorcerors had witnessed things which made normal men gibber with insanity) was pressed down a mask of hot metal, joined forever with the bizarre muscles of its face.
The god-thing, then silenced, was then slid into a heavy iron casket. Through the center of the casket was driven a huge consecrated sorcerous rod. This would be the final infusion, performed beyond the eyes of any man, carried out by otherworldly servitors and emanations so that no man would have to witness what they would subject their newborn weapon to.
The doors of the inner laboratory opened. Out of it stumbled the sorceror-primotologists, led by the Master-Abbot Hllunchul the Crimson Dunzyuc, all pale and coated in perspiration, shaken to the core by the horrors which they had witnessed in the creation of the thing within.
But as they entered the main courtyard of the Laboratory-Shrine, they heard a shrieking noise from within their laboratory. The Master-Abbot turned and gazed within, and new instantly that the experiments had failed, that his plan had failed.
With a gasp, he died.
The abomination was upon them.
The Cutsman Into the Darkness
The primotologists and Hllunchul payed the ultimate price for their hubris; their failure to produce a man-god produced instead a manmade demon, a hideous thing full of rage and hatred and self-loathing.
The monster they had created had been conscious, unbeknownst to them, since they had hauled it from its broth of life, watching each cruelty and denigration with each of the thousand thousand eyes upon its flesh and with each of its strange inhuman senses. It had known pain and torture in the uncaring hands of sorcery, mutated by primotology and swollen with energies of which it had no understanding.
As the hideous thing lay skewered within its iron cask, its rage exploded. With inhuman strength, it tore loose the lid and pulled the spear from its chest. It lay waste to the Laboratory-Shrine of the sorceror-primotologists and with terrible vengeance slew them all in a three-day blood feast, hunting each sorceror through the locked Laboratory (for only Hllunchul knew the keyword to unlock the magically-sealed gates) and tearing them apart, devouring their remains to sate its hatred.
This horror could not be concealed from the outside city. Knowing that a strange terror was taking place inside, and having no love for sorcery, they were not unhappy to block up the gates of the Laboratory forever, blasting apart the bridge which led to its doors. Soon afterward, news came to the capitol of the massacre of the sorceror-primotologists by some wayward creation of sorcery; the lords of the Iron Triangle Nation were only too happy to destroy the citadel of the primotologists, burying forever the secrets of those nighted halls.
But there remained one within the ruins of the citadel who lived beyond the destruction of its creators. Lurking in the darkness, the creature stalked the crumbling halls of the locked up Laboratory-Shrine.
Some have said, since those days, even beyond the fall of the Yorae and the rejuvenation of the society of the Ozhuniyac, that the Cutsman is the vengeance of the Iron Triangle Nation against the Yorae usurpers. Others say that the creature is the ghost of a fallen warrior, forever bearing the blades that slew him.
All know, however, that the Cutsman is murderous and unstoppable. With inhuman celerity and demonic strength, the creature haunts the undercity of Mehxaiyul, roaming the ancient halls and ruins where now only the bravest dare to explore.
The creature is childlike in intellect, consumed with self-loathing and sadness, but unable to reach out to the humans who it meets (who react to the bloodstained apparition of knives and flesh with horror), it is also filled with an all-consuming hatred of mankind. Its simple brain is unable to reconcile the notion that the beings who tortured it are not the same as those who recoil from it in terror, and thus, it murders all who come near it.
Animals, however, are spared the creature's deadly blandishments. The Cutsman does not recognize them, and even when attacked by them, responds to them with a childlike wonder, seeking to discover what manner of being they are; more often than not, these attempts end in tragedy, feeding the furnace of the Cutsman's self-hatred.
Paradoxically, perhaps, the creature also sometimes apes the rituals and behaviors of the people who once dwelt in the silent halls it now stalks, standing at crumbling market-alcoves as if observing produce, bowing before faceless statues of forgotten gods and offering blood at their altars, walking the streets and nodding its head as if in recognition of a passerby. The monster has no need for sleep but still sometimes lies or sits within ancient houses in imitation of the restful.
The Cutsman retains none of the power which it was constructed to wield. Untutored in the ways of using this power, the Cutsman has no other weapons but its deadly body, but thus far, this has been enough.
In Conclusion…
Only a century after its creation, a blink in the lifespan of the immortal horror locked within the ruins, the crumbling Iron Triangle Nation was brought low, invaded by another power, that of the great empire of the Yorae Dynasty. Sweeping over the land with dragon banners at their head and armed with the might of the entire western land, they destroyed the cities of the Iron Triangle, razed them to the ground, and built their mighty priestly cities upon them, piling cyclopean monuments and ecumenical fortresses upon the ancient remnants.
Through the underhalls of the new and great pious city of the Yorae conquerors strode the blade-skinned terror, the creature which would soon be known as the Man of Blades, the Knife Demon, the terrible and feared Cutsman.

Abstract Scope
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs), which are advanced potentially irradiation-resistant materials, are composed of a topologically disordered structure which prohibits the creation of Frenkel pair defects. However, there are still many unanswered questions regarding how irradiation displacement damage affects their mechanical and microstructural properties. For this study, microstructural analysis and mechanical tests were performed on as-cast, annealed, and irradiated Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5 (BAM-11) and Cu60Zr20Hf10Ti10 BMGs. The samples were irradiated by 5-9 MeV C or Ni ions (midrange doses of 0.5 and 10 dpa) or neutrons (0.1 dpa) at temperatures ranging from ambient to ~360 oC. Nanoindentation and in situ compression tests found that heat treatment and primary knock-on damage led to significant changes in short-range ordering and mechanical properties. Furthermore, neutron diffraction experiments revealed that neutron irradiation led to disordering while annealing led to structural relaxation in BAM-11. In addition to the above, the results of helium diffusion experiments will be discussed.
