Tomato Basil Bruschetta & a #CookingPlanit Review
Have you heard about Cooking Planit yet? Maybe you have seen some of the buzz from the 50 bloggers raving about it. It is a really cool cooking app that makes it SO easy to make a meal and have it ALL done at the same time. It organizes things for you, adds everything to your grocery list, then steps you through all the steps ONE step at a time for ALL the recipes in the meal, until your meal is all perfectly complete, all at the same time. It's like having Chef Emily there guiding you every step of the way through your preparation and cooking, reminding you to check on the peppers and don't forget about the toast in the toaster oven, until your perfectly cooked meal is done.
To be honest, at first when I was contacted as one of the 50 bloggers who were chosen to participate in the Cooking Planit TFal Cookware giveaway, I was thrilled, but a little taken aback. They are asking me to make and follow and blog about somebody else's recipe. Can I handle that? Really, it's not like I don't make other people's recipes–I do, yes, but I almost always add my own twist to it. I wasn't sure I could just follow directions.
Well, it turns out you don't actually HAVE to follow the recipe. You can add your own twists to it, deviate from the directions. You don't have to sit and wait when it tells you to, you CAN skip ahead, you can substitute, you can change it up. You just have to remember when it tells you to rinse the kale that you're using zucchini instead, and if you're using quinoa that you cooked ahead of time in place of the orzo, you can just skip over that orzo cooking thing. Heck, you don't even have to measure if you're used to "judging" about how much of something a recipe needs.
Of course if you are one of those kinds of people that just likes to follow recipes, you can totally do it the way that Chef Emily, er I mean, Cooking Planit tells you to. It's totally up to you!
What I LOVE about Cooking Planit
- Love that it combines the steps of all the recipes for the meal together so I don't have to think (too much) about what I need to do when for each recipe and try to juggle multiple recipes at one time.
- Love that I can select how many people I'm preparing the meal for (2, 4 or 6).
- Love how it tells me how long it's going to take me to make the meal, and it times everything for me. It even gives me little "break times" during meal preparation. Gotta love that!
- Love the meal planning function.
- Love that it suggests lots of meals for me. There's so much deliciousness to choose from!
- Love that it tells me when I'm prepping an ingredient for one recipe that I could go ahead and prep it for another recipe too.
- Love the dietary restrictions. I just wish it had a few more options, like "low fat" or "low sodium" or "heart healthy".
- Love the ability to add all the groceries for the meal to my list with one tap. It took me a minute to figure out how to remove the items I already had from the list, but really that wasn't too hard.
- Love the sing-songy voice on the timer. Well, okay, really I have a love/hate relationship with the timer. On the plus side, if you ignore the timer and keep going about your business, she starts talking to you, in a pleasant reminder, sing-songy sort of way. I LOVE that! It's cute, funny, pleasant, happy. On the minus side, the tone it starts out with is annoying and unpleasant. I hate that! (I am really picky about sounds, by the way.)
- Love the sharing and photo options at the end! Oh, you know how I LOVE to take pictures of my food!
What about the recipe? Where's the recipe for that beautiful bruschetta?
You can find the recipe over at Cooking Planit. (Click on ANY of the photos in this post to go there.) Make yourself a free account and try out the app while you're at it! You'll have a head start on getting ready to enter my giveaway (that
starts TOMORROW! Eeek! is live now! Go enter!)
My only change was to sub my sister's colorful, sweet heirloom tomatoes for the beefsteak tomatoes, I upped the garlic quite a bit, and I spread some goat cheese on the bread … just cuz well, you know, I can't properly follow a recipe.
My Cooking Planit Wish List
I love love love the app and the recipes are fabulous, but I do have a few requests for the Cooking Planit developers:
- What if I'm cooking for a crowd? This doesn't happen often for me, but it DOES happen when the family gathers together and I would really really love it if you could pretty please provide a way to scale up the recipe to more than 6?
- When you are planning a meal, if you do a search for a recipe, then preview the recipe, when you click the "Done" button you lose your search results so you can't add the recipe to your meal. Can you put an "add to meal" button on the preview screen? And preserve my search results after I've previewed a recipe?
- Can you remove the "Are you sure?" steps? I really don't need to be told that I've added cat food to my grocery list. I can see it there on the list. It's an unnecessary tap. If you're adding lots of items to the list, this doubles the time it takes me to add them.
- Same thing with the timer. When I tell you to dismiss the timer, could you please just do it NOW? While you're at it, can you make the "Dismiss" button easier to see too? It's grayed out like it's not really a tappable option. And could you start the timer sound with a single pleasant "Ding", like I'm happy that something is done, because I should be happily anticipating the completion of my meal, right?
- Can you please add some more dietary options, like "low fat", "low sodium" and "heart healthy"?
- On my grocery list, I do wish they'd move those items down the bottom of the list once I've tapped them to check them off. I really don't want to look at them again once I've put them in my cart.
- Could you maybe add some recipes from my favorite food bloggers? (hint hint… pick me!) Chef Emily's recipes are amazing, but I'm more of a recipe creator than a recipe follower. I am guessing that this isn't just a blogger thing: home cooks will want to add their own recipes too, and then they will want to share them with their friends when their friends and family ask for that fantastic recipe.
- Just one more wish … could you let me "prep ahead" some of the recipe so I could get a head start on my meal when I have some time? For example, I can see if I wanted to make some stuffed peppers for a crowd, I'd really want to make the stuffing ahead of time and store it in the fridge till I was ready to make the stuffed peppers. That would make it SO easy to have a gourmet meal on the table in no time.
I'll share the stuffed pepper recipe with you soon. That is the recipe I TOTALLY tweaked! My little heart was singing (right up until the timer went off).

Ambassadors on Mission
Author: Dr. Dan R. Crawford
Availability: In Stock
We are first and foremost ambassadors for Christ, not warriors.
Many who preach, teach, and write on the subject of spiritual warfare do so from the perspective that we are warriors fighting Satan and striving to win a battle. This book, Ambassadors on Mission: The Priority of Prayer and Proclamation, is written from the perspective that we are primarily ambassadors who in the activity of representing our King in another kingdom get caught in the crossfire of the battle being waged "in heavenly places" and thus are in need of spiritual armor.
Author Dan R. Crawford maintains the warfare is not ours, except that we represent our Lord, Who has already claimed ultimate victory. One purpose of spiritual armor and spiritual instruction is to prepare the Christian ambassador to stand firm against Satan in the practice of intercessory prayer for the proclamation of the gospel, Crawford says.
Dan R. Crawford is senior professor of evangelism and missions, chair of prayer, emeritus, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, TX, and author/compiler of 18 books including God's Formula for Genuine Happiness and Mud Hen in a Peacock Parade. He and his wife, Joanne, are retired and living in Fort Worth.

Ground Beef Enchiladas
Susan Murphy1
This is a favorite dish to make when we have a church dinner! Seems like everyone loves it- even the kids!
★★★★★ 1 vote5
30 Min

- 11/2 lb
- ground chuck
- 1 can(s)
- cream of chicken soup
- 1 can(s)
- tomatoes and chiles
- 1- 3 cup pkg
- grated cheddar cheese
- 1- 10 pc. pkg

How to Make Ground Beef Enchiladas
- 1Brown the ground chuck,drain grease. Add the can of cream of chicken soup (undiluted) and the can of tomatoes with green chiles. Mix together and simmer for 5 minutes.
- 2Warm up the package of tortillas in the microwave as directed on the package. Spray a 9 X 13 pan with Pam. Take a warm tortilla and put a large spoonful of the meat mixture right in the center, then sprinkle some cheese on top of meat. (If you like them hot, you can add some jalepenos.) Roll up tortilla.(I use the large size tortillas and tuck in each side so it looks almost like a square!)Place each one seams down. I always fit 10 of them in the pan, it's ok if they fit tight- it makes them softer and gooey!!!

Natural methods of healing can help to relieve chronic pain and myofascial pain. Without diet and lifestyle changes, we're missing a key part of the puzzle.
- Myofascial pain refers to pain of the muscles and fascia. It's commonly involved in challenging cases of chronic pain.
- Myofascial pain can be relieved using GUNN Intramuscular Stimulation (IMS) – which uses the same thin flexible needles used in acupuncture, but in a different way.
- Mind-body methods of healing can have an impact on our overall health. That includes sleep and stress.
- A healthy diet can reduce inflammation in the body, and help to reduce pain.
Excerpt from Pathways to Healing by Elaine Zablocki
Published in Townsend Letter 2014
"Heather Tick, MD, is a family physician who's developed special skills for dealing with chronic myofascial pain. Her recently published book, Holistic Pain Relief, offers a comprehensive review of ways to prevent and/or deal with chronic pain.
Tick's interest in natural healing started early. Even as a child, she was unusually aware of the importance of natural food. "I remember my friends would encourage me to bake with cake mixes. I would say, oh, no, there are too many chemicals in that mix."
Tick trained as an MD at the University of Toronto, but her medical training didn't include "natural" methods of healing. "I took my first acupuncture course while I was still a medical student, but it was not part of the curriculum," she says. "During that period, I experienced shoulder pain that lingered for many months – but acupuncture stimulated something in my body that allowed it to heal itself."
"When she started practicing as a family medicine doctor, Tick found that the most challenging cases involved chronic pain, often myofascial pain."

TRAVEL JOURNAL INDEX > Wouldn't You Like To Be A "Yupper" Too?
Munising, Michigan 06/19/06 (Day 55)
Wouldn't You Like To Be a "Yupper" Too?
Once back in our Silverado, we realize we are famished so we drive out in search of the local culinary claim to fame: the pasty (which, it should be noted, rhymes with nasty, not tasty). It takes about 45 seconds for us to stumble upon a pasty shop in Mackinac City where a very personable woman dishes us up a hot traditional pasty which is filled with something approximating beef meatloaf laced with rutabaga and potato. It is passable after copious quantities of hot sauce.
We do appreciate that this is the portable lunch that sustained the thousands of Cornish miners who worked in the area's now-defunct mines and helped create the economy of Michigan's Upper Peninsula (UP) which once made these parts some of the richest areas in the world. But it's still not our first choice in food.
And now we are about to pass the mantle. Previously, we lauded the lovely ladies in the Baton Rogue city tourist information office as the friendliest, most helpful and most knowledgeable of the trip. That (purely subjective) honor must now be passed to Mike who mans the St. Ignace tourist information office just across the bridge from Mackinaw City.
Within moments of entering the pamphlet-stuffed office, Mike supplies us with three pieces of information that will change everything: Skip Sault Ste. Marie (we don't need anymore pictures of a canal anyway) and head South on Route 2 along Lake Superior instead, DO NOT miss Shute's Bar in Calumet (more on that later) and, since he could not come along to personally guide us on our way, a copy of the Hunts' Guide to Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Mike, we thank you.
Confident we are on the right path, we hit the two-lane Route 2. As we head toward the UP, where locals call themselves "Yuppers" (pronounced YOUpers), the whole feeling of the state changes until it resembles Alaska or Canada. Wild. Laid back. A sign as we pull onto Route 2 urges us to drive safely and touts something called Operation SABRE, which, apparently, was cheaper to implement than hiring actual traffic cops. The extremely rare times we do see a highway patrol vehicle in the UP, it's of the classic cherry-top variety--like a well-kept prop from some 1950s good guys vs. bad guys movie.
Within 20 minutes we are cruising along Lake Michigan. Then the dunes break and give way to forest before we climb up above the lakeshore itself and cross an elevated section that looks and feels like some of the most scenic stretches of California's coastal Highway 1. It is beautiful and relaxing and we note that everyone does seem to be driving remarkably safely.
We somehow manage to resist the temptations of more than a dozen roadside pasty shops and elude the lure of the "World Famous" Mystery Spot which promises that "even a blind person would be amazed!" We take their word for it and keep moving. Our route only gets more bucolic as we head toward Fayette, an abandoned iron smelting town. Now, we know what you're thinking: smelting and abandoned in the same sentence? No thanks. But Fayette, which is now a restored Historic State Park, happens to have been built around a beautiful cove and at sunset the place is gorgeous.

According to media reports Tottenham striker Jermain Defoe is unsettled at White Hart Lane and wants to move on for regular first team football.
And there's speculation that Newcastle united are interested in a possible bid with a view initially to making a loan offer in January.
Newcastle monitoring the situation of top English striker
But one Tottenham fan told Here Is The City that he wouldn't lose any sleep if Defoe left the club:
'Defoe shows us Spurs fans the good and the bad all the time. He's not the clinical finisher people think he is. It's only against the easy teams he scores - and that's been him from day one.
He comes on against Chelsea Saturday, has a glorious chance to score, and kicks it straight at the keeper - he just isn't up there with the best.
Tottenham need a different type of forward now - someone with strength and pace to worry defences and hold the ball up. We lost our way against Chelsea because we couldn't keep hold of the ball in the final third.
Defoe is clearly thinking he's may miss out on playing in the World Cup next year if he isn't getting regular first team football. But he'll only play if someone gets injured anyway - Lambert, Rooney, Welbeck and Sturridge will all be in front of him.
For once in his life Defoe should try to be a team player. If he goes to the Toon, good luck to him - he'll need it to get ahead of the two quality strikers they already have.
And Tottenham should be looking for another striker in January anyway - someone in the style of Negredo or Lukaku'.
What do you think ? Would Spurs miss Defoe ?

An outstanding story; well-written. An alien civilization is portrayed as being so advanced beyond human beings as to be almost completely incomprehensible. The science and technology is very accurate and credible. Predictions are implied in the mid sixties of the technology of the twenty first century. This story became a landmark and set the standard for many science fiction stories to follow.
2001: A Space Odyssey is a true gem of a science fiction classic. Known. Proven. Timeless. Et Cetra. One of the first sci fi books I ever read, and still one of the best. Truly well done, as the story unfold so that the characters are having the all-encompassing HUMAN experience. His relatively accurate foresight for humanity is quite astounding. I loved each of his story innovations, from the alien monolith device to HAL to traveling through space and time. Beautifully written. Clarke's descriptions of the moons and planets and his use of metaphor in doing so was a joy to read and imagine. And, suffice to say, each one of the characters in the novel, Francis Poole, Dave Bowman, and HAL are some of the most famous sci-fi characters of all time!
For readers familiar to Arthur Clarke, no introduction is necessary. He was one of the foremost science fiction authors of the 20th century. Though he's published many highly rated books, 2001: A Space Odyssey is a excellent point of introduction to both Clarke and science fiction in general. My own experience with Clarke started with 2001: A Space Odyssey, so it holds a special place in my heart. I first read the book - and each of the several editions with varying endings - in High School. What I have loved most about Clarke since that very first read is his ability to explain scientific concepts relevant to the storyline of the book, and build stories that are both interesting and physically possible... One warning however, in keeping with Clarke's famous statement "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic", his endings (including the ending in 2001) tend to contrast from his physical-law-constrained narrative by presenting a psuedo-mystical experience of the central character. As a teenager I was rather confused by this type of ending. Now I see it as almost unavoidable, since any alien species capable of crossing the interstellar divide would be 1000's of years more advanced in technology. The experience would be similar if a tribe from Papua New Guinea with no contact to the outside world saw a missionary use a satellite phone to download weather forecasts from the internet... utterly unthinkable, yet plausibly based in reality. I recently purchased this book for my niece who is interested in science... I expect her experience to parallel mine. Let's hope :-)
A completely different experience from the film. Whether or not it's lesser will depend on what you want from the basic story. I equally loved both.
I've read 2001 dozens of times and always find something new with each reading!
When I watched 2001: A Space Odyssey (the movie), about ten years ago, I found it dull, boring, and deeply depressing. I also didn't understand what was going on. I decided a couple months ago to give the book a try. It's much better! The story is split into four parts (technically six, but I disagree with Clarke's seperation, and I only perceived four): In the first part of the book, there is what I thought of as somewhat of an extended prologue. We meet Moon Watcher, a member of a prehistoric tribe of Men as he uses his primitive brain to help himself, his family, and his tribe survive. The second part starts three million years after the first part ends off, and is about a mission to the Moon to investigate a strange phenomenon that has been discovered there. This second part ends abruptly, when the reader is vaulted into the scene of a space ship destined for Saturn. The second and third parts do tie together, but I won't give away how. Throughout these first three parts, I was torn between giving the book four stars, or five. The fourth part was what finally decided me on three. It's about the last 10% or so of the book, and it's definitely not the ending I had in mind! It's deeply psychological, philosophical, and just plain weird. I considered it a real anticlimax to a great story! Still, it's an epic, interesting, and engaging tale, and I certainly think that any fan of Science Fiction should read this book at least once!
"The thing's hollow--it goes on forever--and--oh my God!--it's full of stars!" - Astronaut David Bowman's final message to Earth. Arthur C. Clarke's "2001: A Space Odyssey" is an epoch-spanning imagining of humankind's first contact with alien life. Most people know the core story from Stanley Kubrick's film of the same title. What's less known is that the book and screenplay were produced in parallel; Clarke and Kubrick working closely together on both. This edition of the book includes a foreword by Clarke, which provides insights into the story's production. He describes an early conversation with the great director, where Kubrick tells him, "What I want is a theme of mythic grandeur." Clarke certainly delivered. The story revolves around a monolithic stone-like entity that simply appears on earth 3 million years before modern times. The obelisk explores the mental and physical "skills" of individual man-apes, identifying which have the capacity to carry forth their subtly enhanced genetics. And while the movie is known for it's groundbreaking cinematography and special effects, in equal parts with its story-telling vagaries, Clarke's exposition-strong style draws a clear picture of how this alien-borne object was built to experiment, prod and alter the life forms it finds. Not wholly through the serendipity of natural selection, but through delicate alien modifications, do these man-apes take the first tentative steps down their evolutionary paths. The alien interference is subtle; it provides sort of an evolutionary jump-start and then disappears as suddenly as it appeared. Clarke writes, "…the man-apes had been given their first chance. There would be no second one; the future was, very literally, in their own hands." One of the first gifts of enlightenment explored by the man-apes is the use of tools, and the actualization that they can be used to defend…and kill. A clear theme throughout, Clarke writes on the impact of the human propensity towards violence. Using the monolith's suggestion for the man-ape's adoption of tools as the starting point, Clarke writes that the physical and mental abilities to lay waste to nature and man, up close and at a distance, has defined human evolution -- from the first Promethean spark of consciousness through his fictional 2001 and beyond. The novel jumps to the late 20th century. Man has uncovered a monolith buried deep below the surface of the moon. Once the 3 million year old object absorbs the first rays of the sun, a burst of energy explodes towards space. After millions of years of solitude, humankind inadvertently pulls the trigger on its next major evolutionary leap. The burst of energy blows through the solar system targeted at a small moon orbiting Saturn. Contextually, this story was written during the dawn of the space age. Russian satellites had orbited the earth and Kennedy had rallied America behind its own goals to put a man on the moon. Science and technology were at the forefront of culture. Consideration of the possibility of alien life was a natural outcome of this collective thought. Clarke explores one of the most common themes in science fiction, that of 'First Contact': "The political and social implications were immense; every person of real intelligence--everyone who looked an inch beyond his nose--would find his life, his values, his philosophy, subtly changed. Even if nothing whatsoever was discovered about (the monolith), and it remained an eternal mystery, Man would know that he was not unique in the universe. All futures must now contain this possibility." The final third of the story follows astronaut David Bowman aboard a spaceship powering towards the destination of the moon-monolith's energy burst. The memorable HAL-9000 accompanies Bowman on his journey and despite the supercomputer-character's renown, fills only a relatively brief portion of the book. HAL represents a step on the continuum of humankind's evolutionary ascent. It represents the convergence of man and machine. As man developed machines to enhance his existence, he took a step further by transferring human consciousness to machine, which, to dire results, includes all of man's neuroses and psychoses. I thoroughly enjoyed the slow build to human-like sentience of HAL. Following its very purposeful deceptions and murder, HAL says to Bowman rather innocently, "is your confidence in me fully restored? You know that I have the greatest possible enthusiasm for this mission." Clarke's novel evokes the very familiar pacing and mood of Kubrick's film. The details are rich, the exposition extensive and all encompassing. The book finishes with a much more satisfying conclusion than the movie. Clarke actually provides an explanation for the sequences of Bowman's final interactions with the alien intelligence, and his own fate. His conclusion satisfies years of frustrated confusion with Kubrick's final scenes.
The book explores many interesting ideas about technology and the interaction between humans. The question whether machines are self-aware is also expounded upon. It was a great read although the end was quite complex. A great sci-fi book. Monoliths!!
Maybe my review of this book is a little immature, I am only about 60 pages in, but sometimes you can just tell by the first pages of a book that it will be amazing...anyways, sorry if it is to early but here we go.... IT'S AWESOME!!! th first part of the book are the apes in a constant struggle of survival, they are not equiped to survive the harsh land that they live in, they are constantly hungry and hunted leopards...then one day when they are scrounging around they see a thing...since they are not intelligent they pass it off as another rock, that night they are transformed intellectually. there brains are growing and solving more problems, they start using tools and the first stages of evolution have begun. I don't want to give away what the thing was but you all probably know...then we get to the part in the future when humans are developed and stuff. it gets better as the pages fly by...5 stars!!!!

Posted on 03/31/2014 5:36:06 PM PDT by nickcarraway
Boston Red Sox diehard Bill de Blasio, as the new mayor of New York City, was all but required to throw the opening first-day pitch at Citi Field as the New York Mets take on the Washington Nationals. Tradition also dictates that he get booed heartily, which he did.
The New York Times runs down the recent history: Koch hated baseball, never stayed more than a few innings at most, Mr. Roberts told us.
Dinkins, of course, liked tennis most. Giuliani was a die-hard Yankees fan. (Yet he, too, threw out ceremonial pitches at Mets games.) Bloomberg was pretty indifferent. Mayors are traditionally booed, Mr. Roberts said. I cant remember one who actually was cheered. De Blasio, at least, prepared:
Queens, of course, didn't care:
But it paid off, as he managed to succeed where so many politicians have failed and actually clear the plate:
And unlike Giuliani and Bloomberg, he then braved the cheap seats (in Mets gear):
You can't go wrong with a retired player. Chet Lemon threw out the first pitch in Detroit today.
Well, that's one qualification he has over Dear Leader: he can throw a baseball 60-some feet without inconveniencing the catcher.
Everybody hates Bill de Blasio. The Beatles sang WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE EXCEPT FOR BILL de BLASIO.....WE HATE HIM. John said, "What kind of man makes up his own name and puts a 'de' in it?"
Well he is 6' 6". I would expect he could reach the plate.
The people booing were renters who had signed leases for only one year, foolishly believing his campaign promise to freeze rents in September for leases coming up for renewal in 2015.

If you like good Indian food, please step right in. Don't be surprised if you are welcomed by the usual Indian pop music blaring from their Bose speakers. The ambiance and decor are right out of any downtown restaurant in any small town in Punjab. It's reall hard to tell that you are in Canada except you will come accross a few non-Indian folks enjoying their food!
Once you quickly get used to this typical Indian fast food restaurant, step up and place your order for some extremely sumptuous vegetarian food, snacks and sweets. It is an incredibly palatable journey and you will get hooked easily. You will come back for more, many times!
Apparently their fame has grown into the neighboring US states as well. Don't be surprised to see a few American plates in the parking lot.
The food is well worth the journey to O'Canada!
On Islington Avenue, north-west corner of Albion and Islington intersection.

Sir Henry Wotton
A Dialogue Betwixt God And The Soul - Poem by Sir Henry Wotton
Whilst my Souls eye beheld no light
But what stream'd from thy gracious sight
To me the worlds greatest King,
Seem'd but some little vulgar thing.
Whilst thou prov'dst pure; and that in thee
I could glass all my Deity;
How glad did I from Heaven depart,
To find a lodging in thy heart!
S. Now Fame and Greatness bear the sway,
('Tis they that hold my prisons Key):
For whom my soul would die, might she
Leave them her Immortalitie.
G. I, and some few pure Souls conspire,
And burn both in a mutual fire,
For whom I'd die once more, ere they
Should miss of Heavens eternal day.
S. But Lord! what if I turn again,
And with an adamantine chain,
Lock me to thee? What if I chase
The world away to give thee place?
G. Then though these souls in whom I joy
Are Seraphims, Thou but a toy,
A foolish toy, yet once more I
Would with thee live, and for thee die.

After a fairly slow start to the year for new books, we now have more frequent newcomers. Make sure to check out our forthcoming page (www.benchmarkbooks.com/forthcoming-books) to see what's just around the bend.
Givens, Terryl L. Feeding the Flock: The Foundations of Mormon Practice–Sacraments, Authority, Gifts, Worship. Oxford University Press, 2017. 416pp. $34.95. Feeding the Flock, the second volume of Terryl L. Givens's landmark study of the foundations of Mormon thought and practice, traces the essential contours of Mormon practice as it developed from Joseph Smith to the present. Despite the stigmatizing fascination with its social innovations (polygamy, communalism), its stark supernaturalism (angels, gold plates, and seer stones), and its most esoteric aspects (a New World Garden of Eden, sacred undergarments), as well as its long-standing outlier status among American Protestants, Givens reminds us that Mormonism remains the most enduring–and thriving–product of the nineteenth-century's religious upheavals and innovations. Because Mormonism is founded on a radically unconventional cosmology, based on unusual doctrines of human nature, deity, and soteriology, a history of its development cannot use conventional theological categories. Givens has structured these volumes in a way that recognizes the implicit logic of Mormon thought. The first book, Wrestling the Angel, centered on the theoretical foundations of Mormon thought and doctrine regarding God, humans, and salvation. Feeding the Flock considers Mormon practice, the authority of the institution of the church and its priesthood, forms of worship, and the function and nature of spiritual gifts in the church's history, revealing that Mormonism is still a tradition very much in the process of formation.
"Givens is to be commended not only for producing the first major systematic overview of Mormon theology, but also for taking a historically informed, comparative approach that both Latter-day Saints and scholars of religion will find highly illuminating."
–Ann Taves, author of Revelatory Events: Three Case Studies of the Emergence of New Spiritual Paths
Turley, Richard E., Jr., Janiece Johnson and LaJean Carruth (eds.). Mountain Meadows Massacre: Collected Legal Papers (2 vols.). University of Oklahoma Press, 2017. 1056 pp. Hardback. $130.00/set. The editors of this two-volume collection combed public and private manuscript collections across the United States to reconstruct the complex legal proceedings that occurred in the massacre's aftermath. The documents they unearthed, transcribed and presented here, cover a nearly forty-year history of investigation and prosecution—from the first reports of the massacre in 1857 to the dismissal of the last indictment against a perpetrator in 1896. Volume 1 tells the first half of the story: the records of the investigations into the massacre and transcriptions of all nine indictments, eight of which never resulted in a trial conviction. Volume 2 details the legal proceedings against the one man indicted to go to trial, John D. Lee. Lee's trials led to his confession and conviction, and ultimately to his execution on the massacre site in 1877, all documented in Volume 2. **reminder—the editors will be here on June 14 for a sigining**
"Richard E. Turley, Janiece L. Johnson, and LaJean Purcell Carruth have done a great service in offering the Mountain Meadows Massacre papers to the general public. The editors present the documents with an even hand, and the introductions carefully analyze each source."
—Thomas G. Alexander, author of Brigham Young, The Quorum of the Twelve, and the Latter-day Saint Investigation of the Mountain Meadows Massacre
Anderson, J. Seth. LGBT Salt Lake. Arcadia Publishing, 2017. 95pp. Paperback. $22.99. Salt Lake City, located along Utah's majestic Wasatch Mountains, has historically been a cradle of peculiar people. Before Western culture developed terms for lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender (LGBT) identities, diverse communities who recognized their differences from mainstream America made Salt Lake their home. By the early 1970s, a discernible "gay community" had emerged in Salt Lake City, laying the groundwork for future activism and institutions. In the 1970s, publications like Gayzette, the Salt Lick, and the Open Door documented the nascent movement. In the 1980s, amidst devastation from the HIV/AIDS epidemic, marginalized communities valiantly worked to fight the disease and support each other. By the 1990s, LGBT Utahns had gained traction legally and politically with the formation of the first gay straight alliance at East High School and the election of the first openly gay person to the Utah legislature in 1998. The transgender community became more visible in the new century, and by 2008, Utah began to play a prominent role in the battle over marriage equality.
Hammer, David (comp.). The Pamphlets of Orson Pratt: The Complete Collection. Eborn Books, 2017. 722pp. $24.99. The Complete Collection of Elder Orson Pratt's pamphlets. All together in one thick 700+ page volume, with an Index. Each pamphlet is complete and unabridged, and has the original page numbers in brackets. Contains the following pamphlets: An Interesting Account of Several Remarkable Visions, The 1945 and 1946 Prophetic Almanacs, Divine Authority, or the Question, "Was Joseph Smith Sent of God?", The Kingdom of God, Reply to a Pamphlet Entitled "Remarks on Mormonism", Absurdities of Immaterialism, New Jerusalem, Divine Authenticity of the Book of Mormon, Great First Cause, The Equality and Oneness of the Saints, True Faith, True Repentance, Water Baptism, The Holy Spirit, Spiritual Gifts, Necessity for Miracles, Universal Apostasy, or the Seventeen Centuries of Darkness, Latter-day Kingdom, or the Preparations for the Second Advent, Celestial Marriage, The Bible and Polygamy—Does the Bible Sanction Polygamy?, How to Live Acceptably.
D&C 4 – A Lifetime of Study in Discipleship. Eborn Books, 2017. 278pp. Hardback. $24.95. Section 4 of the Doctrine and Covenants is a remarkable revelation that imparts a great deal of wisdom and divine light with tremendous economy. While traditionally viewed as a revelation on missionary service, the principles seated deep within the text and sub-texts of section 4 have application to all aspects of Christ-centered service. The collected voices presented in this book have deep-seated desires to see the work of the Lord move forward. Regarding this small 7-verse section of the Doctrine and Covenants President Joseph F. Smith stated that it "contains sufficient counsel and instruction for a lifetime of study…It is as broad, as high and as deep as eternity." Royalties on the sale of these books will be donated to the General Missionary Fund of the Church.
John, Jeremiah and Joseph M. Spencer, eds. Embracing the Law: Reading Doctrine and Covenants 42. Neal A. Maxwell Institute, 2017. 140pp. Paperback. $15.95. According to Joseph Smith, Doctrine and Covenants 42 "embraces the law of the church." In this collection of essays, six scholars probe the significance of this revelation, especially the significance of its status as "law." In what ways is D&C 42—especially the law of consecration—binding for Latter-day Saints today? These wide-ranging essays argue that the law remains in force, but in many different ways.
"In these conference proceedings stands the hope of a new kind of Mormon theology, one that brings women and men, academics and independents, philosophers and students of literature into the conversation about the meanings of faith and scripture. These essays are united by their firm commitment to the power of scripture and the possibility that holy writ may be rather more than it first appears." –Samuel M. Brown, author of In Heaven as It Is on Earth
The Restoration Scriptures—as described in the official announcement—"are divided into three volumes that have been produced through a unified effort by two independent bodies of volunteers, separately driven to approach the scriptures anew. Initially the members of these two groups felt individually inspired to revisit the scriptures in an effort to prune away some of the uninspired alterations of man so that they might have a more correct version of scripture for their study. Over time, these individuals were led to one another, combining and harmonizing their efforts. What began as two wholly separate groups, each forming at the same time, both unknown to one another, resulted in separate projects that were completed at the same time, and what was learned from their independent efforts identified issues that needed to be addressed. . . . less than 2 weeks after discovering each other, these two groups held a meeting, facilitated by Denver Snuffer, and determined to unify their efforts, each bringing to the table differing components for a greater outcome than either project possessed alone. On the first day of the new year, the two became one as work began, preparing what would become this Restoration Edition of the scriptures." The Old and New Testament incorporate the JST changes, the Book of Mormon draws on the 1840 edition (the last to be published under Joseph Smith's supervision) and the Doctrine and Covenants/Pearls of Great Price revises some existing content and adds new material (including some revelations to Denver Snuffer). All versification has been removed and chapter numbering has also been revised.

5 Natural Anti-Aging Secrets From Around The World
From brushing your hair 100 times, to drinking a gallon of water a day to plump up your skin — we've all heard anti-aging advice from our mothers and grandmothers. And the same thing holds true for women across the globe, in many different cultures.
Women all over the world are proving you can age well and gracefully, and you don't have to go under the knife or spend your entire paycheck on a fancy new anti-aging cream.
"Other cultures take advantage of natural ingredients," dermatologist Joshua Zeichner told The Huffington Post. Zeichner says in the U.S. we're beginning to embrace many beauty rituals from around the world by incorporating key ingredients into our existing skincare routines.
From the glowing skin of women in Latin America to the clear complexions of our friends in Asia, we've rounded up the best anti-aging treatments from cultures around the world.
1. France
Studies have shown grape seed extract supplements can actually boost the levels of antioxidants in your blood. It has also been known to protect the collagen and elastin in your skin– the proteins that give your skin elasticity and firmness. Grape seed extract supplements are popular in France. You'd have to eat over a pound of grapes to get the same benefit as you do from 50 mg of the supplement!
Top 10 Probiotic Foods You Can Add to Your Diet
Probiotics are beneficial forms of gut bacteria that help stimulate the natural digestive juices and enzymes that keep our digestive organs functioning properly. In addition to taking a probiotic supplement, you can also support your probiotic intake through eating foods that are hosts to these live bacterium.
We all know of the great health benefits of probiotics, however, not all of us know how to take advantage of these health benefits. Below is a list I put together to outline the best probiotic foods for you to add to your diet. I would also recommend buying the organic version of all these probiotic foods.
1. Yogurt
One of the best probiotic foods is live-cultured yogurt, especially handmade. Look for brands made from goat milk that has been infused with extra forms of probiotics like lactobacillus or acidophilus. Goat's milk and cheese are particularly high in probiotics like thermophillus, bifudus, bulgaricus and acidophilus. Be sure to read the ingredients list, as not all yogurts are made equally. Many popular brands are filled with High Fructose Corn Syrup, artificial sweeteners and artifical flavors.
2. Kefir
Similar to yogurt, this fermented dairy product is a unique combination of goat milk and fermented kefir grains. High in lactobacilli and bifidus bacteria, kefir is also rich in antioxidants. Look for a good, organic version at your local health food shop.
3. Sauerkraut
Made from fermented cabbage (as well as other vegetables), sauerkraut is not only extremely rich in healthy live cultures, but also aids in reducing allergy symptoms. Sauerkraut is also rich in vitamins B, A, E and C.
4. Dark Chocolate
Probiotics can be added to high-quality dark chocolate, up to four times the amount of probiotics as many forms of dairy. This is only one of the health benefits of chocolate.
5. Microalgae
This refers to super-food ocean-based plants such as spirulina, chorella, and blue-green algae. These probiotic foods have been shown to increase the amount of both Lactobacillus and bifidobacteria in the digestive tract. They also offer the most amount of energetic return, per ounce, for the human system.
6. Miso Soup
Miso is one the main-stays of Japanese traditional medicine, and is commonly used in macrobiotic cooking as a digestive regulator. Made from fermented rye, beans, rice or barley, adding a tablespoon of miso to some hot water makes an excellent, quick, probiotic-rich soup, full of lactobacilli and bifidus bacteria.
Beyond its important live cultures, miso is extremely nutrient-dense and is believed to help neutralize the effects of environmental pollution, alkalinize the body and stop the effects of carcinogens in the system.
7. Pickles
Believe it or not, the common green pickle is an excellent food source of probiotics. Try making your own home-made pickles in the sun. Here's a great set of instructions for making your own probiotic-rich dill pickles.
8. Tempeh
A great substitute for meat or tofu, tempeh is a fermented, probiotic-rich grain made from soy beans. A great source of vitamin B12, this vegetarian food can be sautéed, baked or eaten crumbled on salads. If prepared correctly, tempeh is also very low in salt, which makes it an ideal choice for those on a low-sodium diet.
9. Kimchi
An Asian form of pickled sauerkraut, kimchi is an extremely spicy and sour fermented cabbage, typically served alongside most meals in Korea. Besides from beneficial bacteria, Kimchi is also a great source of beta-carotene, calcium, iron and vitamins A, C, B1 & B2. Kimchi is one of the best probiotic foods you can add to your diet, assuming you can handle the spice, of course.
10. Kombucha Tea
This is a form of fermented tea high in healthy gut bacteria. This probiotic drink has been used for centuries and is believed to help increase your energy, enhance your wellbeing and maybe even help you lose weight. However, kombucha tea may not be the best fit for everyone, especially those that already have a problem with candida.
Do you have any favorite foods with probiotics that I may have missed? Let me know in the comments below!
Other Sources of Probiotics
Besides from the list of probiotic foods above, you can also get plenty of beneficial bacteria by taking a probiotic supplement. I personally would recommend taking Latero-Flora, but Garden of Lifes Primal Defense Ultra is also a great option.

Finding the right gift can be a bit of a challenge, especially if it is for the woman who has everything. However, one gift that always works well are cardigan sweaters for women. The sweater is a great addition to any woman's wardrobe and there are colors that will match any other clothing that a woman already has in her closet. They are also very slimming and can be quite warm.
Selecting cardigan sweaters for women is actually quite easy. Even without knowing the woman's exact size, it is possible to select a good fitting cardigan without worrying that it won't fit. This is because cardigan sweaters close in the front with zippers, buttons, or ties and so they are easily adaptable to the size of the particular woman. Even if the gift is purchased a size off, the chances are that the cardigan will still fit well. In addition, cardigans are very flattering to almost any shape of woman because they are easily left open or closed with buttons or a zipper to provide a more streamlined appearance. Either way, the woman can create a great look with her other clothes.
Another reason that cardigan sweaters for women make a great gift is that they go with almost any other outfit a woman may have. Cardigans can be worn with business clothing to create a more relaxed image. They can also be worn with jeans and blouses for women and provide a little elegance to an outfit. Cardigans are also great for wearing out on the town with dressier clothing, depending on the style and colors of the cardigan. The fact is, cardigans are extremely versatile with the clothing that a woman already owns so they make a wonderful gift.
And of course, cardigans can be very slimming and warm. When worn zipped or buttoned up, cardigans can give a woman a very sleek silhouette which can make her look slim. In addition, cardigans can be quite warm when worn zipped or buttoned up, so they make an excellent gift for women who live or work in cold areas where a little extra warmth is always appreciated.
Cardigan sweaters for women really do make a great gift because they are so versatile. They can fit into the clothing styles that a woman already has and can provide her with a little extra warmth on cold days. They come in so many sizes and colors, there is sure to be one for every woman.

text: Hi Lads, I apologise if this has already been seen but just thought I'd bring to forum. Check out link for S3 against the rest. Was July 07. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-U1VWkexdE Seems our boy came 2nd behind a Renault. Not familiar with this car, don't think I've even seen one. Its a short video (6 mins) and I would love to have seen more of the test but what surprised me (relating to the R32 or S3 thread) is that the R32 didn't make the cut. It was the only other car i test drove against the S3, I wouldn't consider any of the rest as good as an S3 not just in dynamics but also the quality. Not a big fan of the VXR's or ST's but again one didn't make the cut and the other fell by the way side. I thought these cars were well thought off. The Golf GTI did well and the new Type R did ok but i don't think its a patch on the old Type R. Anyway just thought it was interesting. Jas

So, A Mad Dash is easily identified- it's a comedy with a cast full of famous actors, celebrities, and comedians who are all frantically chasing after some prize. There are a ton of zany, incoherent situations manufactured to get as many laughs as possible. The plot is the least concern and only needs to find a way to connect all the silly set pieces. You'll usually find plenty of B-list actors, athletes, and a foreign actor or two.
It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World
This is the cream of the crop of Mad Dash movies. It gets into it's fair share of silliness, but It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World features just about every comedic actor alive and one of Hollywood's greatest actors in the leading role. Spencer Tracy heads a cast that includes names like Jonathan Winters, Ethel Merman, Milton Berle, Buddy Hackett, Jimmy Durante, Mickey Rooney, Sid Caesar, Phil Silver, and on and on. There are also a bunch of cameos- the Three Stooges, Don Knotts, Buster Keaton, Jerry Lewis, Jack Benny, and on and on. The plot centers around some motorists who stop to help a dying car crash victim who imparts on them the hidden location of $350,000 he stole years before. The motorists agree to amicably retrieve the money, but distrust immediately sets in and it becomes every man, including the old bag, for himself. Director Stanley Kramer, who also made The Defiant Ones and Judgment at Nuremberg, wanted to make a comedy to end all comedies, but the common criticism is that the movie buckles under all the comedic weight. If you're willing to sit through the gags that fizzle out and endure the loooong run time, it is a funny movie.
Rat Race
Rat Race wanted desperately to be a modern Mad Mad World. It had the same basic premise (the main difference being that the participants are unwittingly part of a high-stakes game where gamblers bet on who reaches the money first) and features a cast of recognizable names- Whoopi Goldberg, Cuba Gooding Jr., Jon Lovitz, John Cleese, Rowan Atkinson, Kathy Bates. But the thing it's lacking is the overall comedic experience of the cast of Mad Mad World. A good chunk of the movie follows Breckin Meyer and Amy Smart- not exactly heavyweights in the laughter department. Director/producer Jerry Zucker can do over-the-top comedy well (Airplane!, The Naked Gun), but when he has to reign it in, the results have been mixed (Ruthless People, Ghost, First Knight). The movie does have it's moments, but it just doesn't have the enveloping hilarity of Mad Mad World.
The Cannonball Run
You know it's a Mad Dash when you see Burt Reynolds, Roger Moore, Dom DeLuise, Jackie Chan, Terry Bradshaw, Jamie Farr, Farah Fawcett, Peter Fonda, Jimmy The Greek, and Dean Martin all in the same movie. The Cannonball Run is based on the real life illegal coast-to-coast car race and features many of the same vehicles and antics from the real race. Director Hal Needham, a former stuntman, was a participant in the real Cannonball Run, so as outlandish as some things may seem, much of the movie is based on actual events. This was one of Needham's many collaborations with Burt Reynolds, for whom he had served as the stunt double on many movies. Needham liked to show outtakes during the closing credits, and Jackie Chan got his inspiration for the same from this movie.

New Corporate Law, What You Need to Know
By Tripti Lahiri and Sean McLain
Heading into a long weekend, India's upper house of Parliament on Thursday passed The Companies Bill 2012 which replaces corporate laws that are more than half a century old.
Several firms praised the passage of the bill, which is intended to improve corporate governance, fight fraud, increase investor protection and simplify the process of creating and closing a business.
Corporate lawyers said the new legislation recognizes the increased sophistication of business dealings and more clearly defines many aspects of corporate governance. It also includes new provisions that require companies above a certain size to put a percentage of average net profits toward corporate social responsibility programs.
"The legislation we were dealing with was created in 1956," said Aparna Mittal, a partner in the corporate and mergers-and-acquisitions practice of the Delhi-based law firm Luthra and Luthra Law Offices. "Clearly we've come a long way since then," Ms. Mittal said.
Of course, as with most Indian legislation, the devil is in the detail. Many questions will only be answered once rules are drafted by the Ministry of Corporate Affairs. "There are a few open issues and the rules will have to bring about clarity," said Dinesh Kanabar, deputy CEO at KPMG India. He expects drafts of the rules to be released by the ministry in a month.
Before those come down the pike, here are five things you need to know about the new law. To understand the rest of the nearly 300-pages of legislation, consult your lawyers.
1. Stricter rules on corporate governance: The new rules seek to encourage greater shareholder accountability in company boardrooms. One-third of a company's board must now be independents, with no financial interest in the company. The directors have also been made accountable for decisions made by the board, which should encourage them to become more than a rubber stamp for the companies, said KPMG's Mr. Kanabar. "The current sort of tea, coffee and cashew nut meeting will go away, and they will take their job seriously," he said.
Companies can now have a maximum of 15 directors, one of which must be a woman. Listed companies must have a minimum of three directors, and private companies require at least two. Independent directors serve up to two consecutive five-year terms.
Company finances must be audited regularly and auditors must change periodically. The company's chief financial officer is now held accountable for the contents of financial statements.
"If I was a shareholder of a company, I have got directors who are far more responsive. Auditors are new and looking at things afresh. These are very positive steps," said Mr. Kanabar.
A few questions will have to be resolved by the ministry of corporate affairs in its rules. The new law mandates independent directors to encourage accountability to investors, but makes no mention of the need for them to show up to board meetings. The law mandates only that one-third of board members be present at meetings. "That is where the rules will have to bring about clarity," said Mr. Kanabar.
The legislation also discourages confusing corporate structures that make it hard for authorities to understand how funds are being moved or to spot possible money laundering. Now, "you can't have investment through more than two layers of companies," said Ms. Mittal, the lawyer.
2. More protection for investors: In a bid to move Indians away from investing in gold and towards financial markets, India has tried to protect investors from fraud. These efforts include the Investor Education and Protection Fund, established 12 years ago to promote investor awareness about scams.
The new companies law takes those efforts a step further by allowing for groups of investors to appeal to a National Company Law Tribunal, whose president will be someone with at least five years of experience as a High Court Judge. The tribunal will be the main enforcing authority under the new corporate law, taking the place of the existing Company Law Board. Its decisions can be appealed in an appellate tribunal. The Supreme Court is the final court of appeal for tribunal decisions.
Some firms and news reports have hailed the new "class action" provision as a bold new step, but a version of that provision already existed Investors can already band together to seek a legal order to stop a company from taking action they deem to be financially harmful.
The new law clarifies the sorts of remedies they can ask for, and also allows them to seek compensation from company management for any financial losses faced because of management actions, or from the company's auditing firm.
These changes appear to be at least partly drawing on lessons learned from the Satyam fraud, in which the Hyderabad-based firm's chairman Ramalinga Raju confessed in 2009 to overstating the tech company's financial position for years. Tech Mahindra Ltd. acquired the firm in April of that year in a government-led auction and renamed the company Mahindra Satyam.
"Defrauded investors have been empowered to claim, and get, damages or compensation from those who have committed fraud or indulged in unfair practice," said Virendra Jain, founder of Midas Touch Investors Association, a Kanpur-based investor advocacy group, in a statement.
Consultants and auditors may want to take note though. The collective demand for compensation can also be made against "any expert or advisor or consultant or any other person for any incorrect or misleading statement made to the company," according to the Bill.
3. Added protection for whistle-blowers: The Companies Bill 2012 requires publicly traded firms as well as others, yet to be defined, to set up a "vigil mechanism" so that employees perturbed by how the business is running can report their concerns through this system.
"The vigil mechanism…shall provide for adequate safeguards against victimization of persons who use such mechanism," says the legislation.
A description of this system is supposed to be posted on a business's website once it has been set up, as well as included in the company's financial report. Among other duties, the independent directors mentioned above are meant to make sure the whistle-blowing system is working, and that no one who has used it has faced retribution, which is a tall order and one that may be difficult to enforce.
4. Cross-border mergers: Ms. Mittal, of Luthra and Luthra, said the new legislation recognizes a wider variety of transactions than the 1956 law, or subsequent amendments, such as the merger of Indian and foreign companies.
"If you look at the legislation earlier you couldn't merge with a foreign company. A cross-border merger wasn't typically permitted," Ms. Mittal said. "Now they have created an avenue for that."
Section 234 of the law says that, "A foreign company, may with the prior approval of the Reserve Bank of India, merge into a company registered under this Act or vice versa."
5. Closing a business: In 2013, India dropped seven spots on the World Bank's "resolving insolvency" indicator, one of the nine business activities the multilateral agency uses to measure the ease or difficulty of operating in a particular country.
The indicator, which used to be called "closing a business," measures, among other things, how long it takes to recover money from a bankrupt firm. In India, this process is governed by a rather lengthy section of the corporate law called, appropriately enough for those familiar with British slang, "winding up."
There are so many stages and steps in this process, that according to the World Bank, it takes an average of 4.3 years in India for a creditor to recover funds from an insolvent business, compared to three years in the rest of South Asia and 1.7 years in developed countries.
But there have been some changes. "What they've done now is they've tried to simplify the process a little," said Ms. Mittal.
Let's be honest — closing a business continues to remain a complicated affair in India, requiring the appointment, as before, of an official company liquidator to oversee and sign off on the process. But the new law does attempt to make the process a little more time-bound.
Section 273 states that a corporate affairs court must take action within 90 days on a petition from a creditor seeking the shutting down of a business that is past due on its debts.
Once the tribunal issues an order for proceedings to move forward, the indebted company is supposed to provide a statement of its accounts within 30 days to 60 days. If it doesn't do that, it forfeits the right to oppose the efforts to shut it down.
Still, until rules are in place, and the first proceedings to recover debt take place, it will be difficult to say how much the new law will chip away at that 4.3-year average.

Implementing the Precautionary Principle
Perspectives and Prospects
Edited by Elizabeth Fisher, Judith Jones and René von Schomberg
Chapter 13: The Tension between Fiction and Precaution in Nanotechnology
Arie Rip
13. The tension between fiction and precaution in nanotechnology Arie Rip1 The precautionary principle stands midway between a general philosophy of precaution and prudential approaches, and specific legal and regulatory provisions and their implementation. The European Union has taken the lead in articulating such a principle (Commission of the European Communities 2000), and von Schomberg (see chapter 2 in this volume) has offered a comprehensive formulation: Where, following an assessment of available scientific information, there are reasonable grounds for concern for the possibility of adverse effects but scientific uncertainty persists, provisional risk management measures based on a broad cost-benefit analysis whereby priority will be given to human health and the environment, necessary to ensure the chosen high level of protection in the Community and proportionate to this level of protection, may be adopted, pending further scientific information for a more comprehensive risk assessment, without having to wait until the reality and seriousness of those adverse effects become fully apparent [my italics]. Such a precautionary principle is not immediately applicable to nanotechnology. Firstly, nanotechnology is an umbrella term for a range of enabling technologies, rather than a coherent set of processes and products which can be assessed in terms of adverse effects. In this respect, it differs from biotechnology and genomics, with which it tends to be compared in terms of societal impact and public responses. Secondly, it is still quite uncertain which options will be developed and which applications can...

- No complaining
- No emotions
- Break the first two and you'll be killed.
When some girls began to cry for their moms, the soldiers pulled out their fingernails, poured hot lead on them and then poked out their eyes. The teens were forced to work 20 hours a day with one small meal and so they would try to find bugs and other things to eat while they were working even though this was forbidden. One day, the girl working next to Setan found a morsel and quietly tossed it to him. The female guard saw this and Setan had to watch while his companion was beaten and then smothered to death. Of the 1000 Setan started out with, only 87 survived the terror of the coming years.
One evening, he was buried alive with only his head above ground. When he was found alive the next morning, the guards began to beat him to death when suddenly they were stopped and miraculously, Setan was given the job of planning the harvest. When his university education was discovered, however, he was lined up with others to be killed. While waiting for his turn, this devout young Buddhist prayed to the "Lord of the Universe" to save his life and when it was his turn to be killed he was spared.
Eventually he was able to escape. While moving through the jungle, a a naked man appeared from nowhere and pushed him to the ground. "Do you believe in the Lord of the Universe?" the man asked. Remembering his prayer and how he had been delivered, he replied that yes, he did believe. "His name is Jesus Christ," the man continued and then disappeared.
A month later, he made his way across the Thailand border into a refugee camp where he began to associate with Christian missionaries. One day he saw the man he had met in the jungle and began to learn from him. Each morning his mentor would teach him Scripture and every afternoon he would go out into the camp to preach what he had heard. He was preaching up to 35,000 people every day before he was able to go to Bible school.
One day the Scripture Setan learned was Galatians 6:1 "Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." He didn't like the part about doing good to all people because that would include his enemies. That afternoon while he was preaching, he saw the girl who had killed some of his family, smothered his companion in the field and had buried him up to his neck. The sight of her filled him with rage and he wanted to kill her.
He was in the middle of another verse, Romans 8:35 "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword?" When he got to the word persecution, he couldn't go on. At that moment, he cried out to God and God took away the anger and replaced it with compassion. Without finishing his sentence, he walked to where the girl was sitting, kneeled down and forgave her. Then he went back to preaching. When he gave the altar call, she was one of those who came running to the front to be saved.
Setan married, immigrated to the US and had children but his heart was for his countrymen back in Cambodia. Eventually he made his way back and started several churches and a number of ministries, including providing a place of safety for girls and women who escape the prostitution they've been sold into and a school to teach girls skills that would enable them to avoid prostitution. He even started a Bible school.
Through a series of circumstances, Setan was brought before Pol Pot (the head of the Khmer Rouge)'s right hand man. When he introduced him to Jesus, the man believed. Setan says that the UN went to Cambodia to bring peace and brought AIDS instead. The general came to Jesus and peace began to be restored in the nation. The best pastors in the nation now are the former Khmer Rouge leaders and soldiers.
Setan and his wife Randa continue to advance the gospel in Cambodia through Women's Ministries, the David Center Orphanage, transforming the village of Kambour and building Cambodia's first Christian university. To learn more of their ministry go here. Setan and Randa have also written the book Miracles in the Forgotten Land and Beyond, which tells their story and about their work in more detail.
