AbstractThe measurement of lithium in blood serum requires high selectivity since the blood contains about 140 mM sodium compared to the 0.5-1.5 mM lithium level in manic depressive patients under treatment with lithium salts. This review traces the development of optical and potentiometric methods for the selective measurement of lithium in the presence of sodium. Selectivities of over 1,000:1 are achievable with properly designed ionophores. View Full-Text

The outreach of December 13, started for me on the Saturday before as we went out to pass out fliers and invite the people on my bus route to bring their families and come to the Main Event on Sunday. I was team leader of about 11 people and we got a lot of ground covered. Everyone labored very hard.
Sunday was a great reward seeing all the people on the buses. I feel so blessed to be a part of a church that reaches out to the lost. I love soul winning. I love sharing the gospel with those out there who really need it. I feel such fulfillment because I'm developing relationships with those on the bus route, I love them and they all know me and we are like family. It's such a blessing to be a conduit the LORD uses to bless those who are hurting.
I came across a lady member that I was able to get her son to receive Jesus. He works Sundays, and his mom wanted him to say the prayer of salvation. It was so neat to be able to do that.
One of the young boys on my bus won a bicycle in the children's service. That was Isaiah and I told him that "if you keep seeking God, like you're doing right now, that God will keep blessing you, because He has a plan and purpose for you."
It was priceless, worth more than gold to see the joy on the kids and parents faces as I handed the toys out before we took them back home. The kids were so happy and the parents were so excited that we blessed them with such good toys. They were so thankful and had many good things to say.
I'll never forget the way I felt as a child when I experienced the presence of God, laying on the floor. I'm so glad that Pastor Rodney has a vision for the children to be under the anointing of God. Its life changing, it's what everyone needs.
I got to go pray for one of the people on our bus route. Rod and I went to the hospital to pray for Gail's son and God healed him of an injury to his arm and pneumonia. He could move his arm after prayer and he walked with us as we were leaving.

(Repeats with no changes to text)
By Jarrett Renshaw
NEW YORK, Dec 17 (Reuters) - For the first time in more than a decade, U.S. gasoline prices are tumbling toward $2 a gallon even as the economy grows and unemployment shrinks, a constellation that will test the theory that domestic fuel demand is in terminal decline.
Conventional wisdom holds that long-term trends such as increased fuel efficiency, greater urbanization and a graying population will temper any potential pick-up in U.S. fuel consumption next year, despite the unexpected arrival of cheap fuel.
Yet there are some signs that the bounce could be bigger than is widely assumed. As U.S. gasoline use accounts for about one-tenth of global oil demand, an upside surprise could help put a floor under the biggest oil market selloff since 2008.
U.S. motorists are driving more highway miles than any time since 2006; sales of new SUVs and pick-up trucks are outpacing smaller, more fuel efficient models; and more travelers are choosing to drive this holiday season instead of flying.
"Historically, the current situation - falling gas prices and a growing economy - is unusual," said James Burkhard, Vice President and head of oil market research for IHS CERA. "The single most important factor in gasoline demand is economic growth and strong employment, and that's what we have right now."
The U.S. economy grew by 3.9 percent in the third quarter in a sign of improving economic - capping six months of the strongest expansion since 2003- and lower crude oil prices may add half a percentage point or more to growth in the new year.
Improving economic health is unlikely to restore the brisk growth in fuel demand that accompanied economic expansion for several decades.
"Historically, when the economy grows, the oil demand grows. But the correlation is not as strong now," said Christopher Knittel, a professor of energy economics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan School of Management.
The reason is a shift that took place in the last decade as consumers, angered by high gas prices, switched to more fuel efficient cars and gravitated to car pools and public transit, he said.
But consumers' response to the halving of U.S. gasoline pump prices since mid-2014 may produce an upward blip strong enough to surprise analysts who have grown increasingly bearish.
National fuel consumption has fallen 3.7 percent since 2010 and the U.S. Energy Information Administration forecast last week that it will dip further 0.3 percent next year to 8.86 million barrels per day. Some analysts now say that figure that may prove too pessimistic.
"There certainly could be a bounce, especially on the margins, where people are driving instead of flying and simply just driving more," said Wallace Tyner, an energy economist at Purdue University.
The average retail price for regular gasoline fell to $2.54 a gallon on Monday, its lowest since 2010 according to AAA, the nation's largest motorist organization. Gasoline could test $2.50 a gallon by Christmas, it said.
While motor fuel costs are tumbling, airfares have barely budged. Since Nov. 1, the price of an average U.S. round-trip airline ticket has remained around $540, according to data from Airlines Reporting Corporation.
As a result, more travelers hit the road. AAA on Tuesday forecast that 4.2 percent more Americans would drive during the year-end holiday season, compared with a 1 percent increase in air travel. In September, U.S. drivers logged 246.6 billion miles, the highest tally for the month since 2006, according to the latest figures from the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Reflecting that, U.S. gasoline sales rose 0.3 percent in September to their highest level for the month since 2011, according to EIA data. It was the strongest growth rate in 10 months.
As often in the past, U.S. car buyers are also responding to cheaper fuel by shifting back in favor of larger, less fuel-efficient cars.
"The fact is the more that Americans believe that low prices are here to stay, true or not, the less they will care about fuel efficiency," says Patrick DeHaan, a senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com.
The industry's annualized sales rate hit around 17.2 million vehicles in November, the highest since 2003, with SUVs and trucks topping the list with double digit increases, according to industry consultant Autodata Corp. Sales of Toyota Prius hybrid cars and subcompacts were both down, the figures show.
Reflecting that, fuel economy of vehicles sold last month remained flat for third straight month at 25.3 miles-per-gallon, falling from a record high 25.8 mpg in August, marking the longest period without efficiency gains since early 2012.
To be sure, U.S. motorists' love affair with big and powerful can only slow, or temporarily pause, a trend toward ever-more-efficient cars. Technological improvements and rules in force since 2012 that call for annual increases in fuel efficiency standards until 2025 are set to keep curbing fuel consumption.
"What we have today is that even when we have a good economy with low gas prices that are encouraging people to drive more, we are consuming less fuel," said Knittel. (Reporting By Jarrett Renshaw; Editing by Jonathan Leff and Tomasz Janowski)


text: I am going to mention something I learned the hard way, but would love to see others! This year I calculated the total cuts for the season, multiplied by how much per cut I wanted (a few models for a few sizes), added cost to fert the whole season, lime, soil test, and monitor/adjust sprinklers, and then divided that total number by 7 months. I sat at my kitchen table and had 7 sheets of labels, each sheet had my address and then the particular month, e.g., Attn: April Lawn Care. I have these in little stacks for each customer, with a refrigerator magnet business card clipped to the stack. "Staples" has the magnets with an adhesive on the back to attach your card. I got sick of trying to sell each "add-on" as they came up, so I totaled any of that, also, such as hedges, mulch, fertilizer, etc. Plus, having to mail a different bill each month for that month's total cuts & service. Now, with my pre-addressed monthly envelope they will know if they paid for a given month, they will know how much the amount is for without a monthly bill, and their property looks great because I do everything I know it will need. To pull this off, I got away from mow-n-blow. I absolutely can't wait to do these lawns this year!

*I am not affiliated with the cast or crew of Charmed in anyway. I do not own any of the ORIGINAL Charmed characters. I understand that theWB has full rights over Charmed. I do have full ownership for Alexia, and the plot that follows.*
Alexia D. Halliwell stood over the stove mixing potions and muttering to herself about her dysfunctional family. "Most kids get grounded when they stay out late. Me? I get stuck at home mixing potions." Alexia had always been the youngest of the family and defiantly a wild-child. Her aunt Piper was constantly saying how much she was like her mum at her age. But Alexia didn't buy it. How could she, her mum was nothing like her, she wasn't a witch at that age. And her dad was no help at all. Being a regular ordinary human, he ended leaving most of the parenting to Phoebe, afraid that if her got himself involved too much he might end up steering Alexia into using her powers for evil or something. Of course that would never happen since her mum was way too over protective. She had to be involved with every aspect of her life which is suffocating to any 15 year old. But when you add in constant protection against evil magic, and the usual making sure various boyfriends aren't warlocks or demons, she couldn't help feeling like she needed to escape. So when Phoebe walked into the room it was perfectly reasonable that Alexia wasn't all to pleased to see her mom. "You know I'm still mad you." She muttered keeping her eyes on the potion.
"And you know that there's curfew that you need to keep. Put a little mor e coriander in that, it'll give it an extra punch against this warlock." Alexia glared at her mother, and Phoebe looked up and continued, "Sweetie, I'm doing this for your own protection, there's all kinds of evil out there…"
"…that would be more that happy to kidnap and kill the charmed ones daughter" Alexia finished for her mother. She had heard that speech too many times. "But I was not out with evil; I was out with my boyfriend."
"How do you know he's not evil? I was with Cole for months not knowing his real identity."
"Yeah, but I'm not you. I have common sense and I will dump and vanquish him if I ever did find out he was a demon, something you failed to do," Alexia snapped at her mom. Phoebe couldn't take any more of this and walked out of the room on the verge of tears, how could her daughter be so cruel, and use her past against her?
Alexia grabbed the final ingredient to the potion and put it in. She quickly bottled and went into the attic to tell her aunts that it was done. Half way up she heard a scream and hurried into the attic, only to see a warlock attacking her aunts and her mother, only this wasn't any warlock, This just happened to be Matt, her boyfriend.
"You bastard," she hollered as she threw the potion and vanquished him, but as she looked around she saw that it was too late, he had killed her family and it was all her fault. She instantly called for her cousin Wyatt, with tears welling up in her eyes, in hopes that he might know what to do. He quickly orbed in and before he could begin a lecture on bugging him at unnecessary times he noticed what was going on and drew his little cousin into an embrace as she cried her eyes out for failing her mom and aunts. They died because of her, If only she had listened to her mom they all would be alive now. But then she noticed Wyatt wasn't crying and before she could ask why he motioned over to the book and told her that there was a way to fix this.
"There's a spell, in the book. Say it and it should take you back in time. You can fix this Alexia, I know you can."
"But why don't you go? Your powers are far better than mine."
"Well, yeah, but your spells are better and more likely to work. Now I gotta back to work. Good luck." He said as he orbed out leaving Alexia to fix this mess on her own. She opened the book and found a spell, she thought might work if she just changed the wording slightly. "The spell which was not to be done, Give us the power to see it undone, And turn back time to whence it was begun."
She closed her eyes and the room spun. When she finally opened them slowly she noticed the bodies were gone, and so was the scorch mark. She figured it must have worked and she dashed downstairs in hope of finding help. But when she reached the bottom of the stairs she noticed something very peculiar, her mum and dad's wedding picture was gone. This confused her but she was able to brush it off until she noticed a play pen, containing her 20 year old cousin as mere infant. She wouldn't be born for another 5 years. "Crap!!" She muttered as she dashed into the kitchen in hope that she might come up some one who might help.
As she barged through the door she saw Piper and Phoebe sitting at the kitchen table drinking there morning coffee. She was thrown aback at how young they looked, But she was soon forced back to reality as they turned around and Piper spoke up.
"Who the hell are you, and what on earth are you doing in our kitchen?"
"Oh, god Piper, Mum, You have no clue how amazing it is to see you again." Alexia muttered quickly before remembering that they would have absolutely no clue who she was, but before she could correct herself Phoebe jumped in to question her identity.
"Excuse me? Did you just call me mum?" At this she turned to Piper extremely confused, "Did she just call me mum." But before Piper could answer she turned her attention back to the girl in question. I'm sorry sweetie, but I think you must be lost, I am no mum."
"Look I know this may seem unreal and downright insane, But you have to believe me, for your sake." Alexia then turned her attention to Phoebe, in hopes of convincing her mum of her true identity. "Mum, look, I need you to believe me. I mean, how can you not? You saw your future, and you saw that you were gonna have a little girl, and that girl is me." She took a breath and continued talking to the both of them. "Think, you both went back in time with aunt Prue to stop a Warlock. I'm doing the same, only I think I was too enthusiastic about the spell or something, or maybe I worded it wrong, any way I'm here to stop a warlock, now I gotta get back to a little before my time to sort this out. Are you gonna help me or what?"
"Wait, you're telling me that my very own daughter can't say a spell right? And on top of that why on earth would I let you dress like that?"
"Sorry for not being the almighty and powerful Wyatt, or the heroic, and brave Chris, everyone wants me to be. I'm just me, no more, no less. And as for my attire…" at this Alexia looked down and examined her oversized cargo pants and the belly shirt. And then thought of the argument she and her mum had had when she died her hair blue, yeah, this right here was definitely her mum. "…lets just say, the two of us are not exactly on the best terms right now, in the future."
"I can tell." Phoebe replied, shocked at all the information she was receiving and even more surprised that she was starting to believe her. But the one thing that bugged Phoebe the most was the burning question, 'who is the father?'.
"Wait, a second," Piper snapped, interrupting Phoebe's train of thought. "Did you say Chris? As in Chris Perry Halliwell, my second son?"
"That's my cousin for you. Of course I haven't seen him in ages since he left to come… Wait. Is he here? Can I see him?"
"So you're saying that Chris can vouch for your true identity?" Phoebe asked skeptically.
"Yeah, definitely," Alexia replied. And with out skipping a beat Piper called for Chris who Orbed in with in seconds. Upon seeing his cousin, his jaw dropped and he stood there for a moment staring in awe.
"Alexia? Is that you?" Chris said breaking the silence. With out waiting for an answer he continued, "You've grown so much, I can't believe it!" Alexia ran over and hugged her long lost cousin, whom she had not seen in years.
"I've missed you so much." Alexia said faintly with tears welling up in her eyes. After all, he was the only one who ever understood her completely. After a few seconds Chris became puzzled and pulled out of the embrace.
"Wait, why are you here? Is everything ok? What happened?"
"I'm her to fix a mistake, partially my fault but that's besides the point. SO anyway either I was to enthusiastic or I said the wrong spell or something, but anyway, I'm here."
"Yeah, but why?" Chris asked partially annoyed at how his cousin failed to answer his question.
"I can't say, 'cause if they hear it might change the future too much." She said motioning over to her mom and aunt.
"Well maybe we can he…" Phoebe began to say but was cut off by Chris who, along with Alexia, seemed totally oblivious to the rest of the world.
"But didn't you come back to change the future?"
"We are the Charmed ones, and we do know what to do." Piper continued only to be completely ignored.
"You of all people should not be arguing with me about with this." Alexia snapped.
"Fine," Chris said before turning his attention to Piper and Phoebe. "Will be right back," and with that they Orbed out.
"Like talking to a wall!"

text: another image to share, Done for my good friends over Elder Sign Press. I know, I know, kind of a different kind of illustration for me, right? No dragons, no zombies, no battles, no blood or guts, no good vs evil....the assignment was to make a steampunk- esque door holding out the icy cold. A much more difficult task then I at first thought it would be, because I had to create a door that was compelling enough that the viewer would want to know what was on the other side.


text: Humidity is considered high when the levels go above 45 to 50%. When combined with high temperatures, high humidity can be very dangerous to the body as it interferes with the bodies ability to cool itself down, which may cause heat stroke. High humidity can also trigger an asthma attack. For more information, look here:

Displacements of the tibial tuberosity - Effects of the surgical parameters
A three-dimensional computer model is used, based on the finite element method, to investigate the effects of 1-, 1.5-, and 2-cm tibial tubercle elevations and of 0.5- and 1-cm medial displacements of the tuberosity performed with different bone shingles. Patellar kinematics and patellofemoral interface peak pressure, between 45 degrees and 135 degrees of passive knee flexion are compared for these different surgical parameters with those of a normal knee not surgically treated. The shingle lengths of 3, 5, 7, and 10 cm have little influence on the results. Augmenting tubercle medializations decrease the lateral peak pressure but result in an overpressure of the medial facet that is 154% of the normal peak value. With knee flexion between 45 degrees and 60 degrees, increasing tubercle elevations decreases lateral and medial peak pressures, With flexion of more than 60 degrees, increasing elevations decrease the lateral peak pressure, but they augment and even cause overpressure on the medial facet. An overpressure on the lateral facet also is seen in midrange knee flexion (75 degrees-90 degrees) for all tubercle elevation values. Increasing tubercle elevations and medializations appear to be the predominant parameters from a biomechanical point of view.

Below are the 20 most recent journal entries recorded in
Workin' It from the OUTSIDE's LiveJournal:
(Note: I put this together earlier today as part of an attempt to impose a shape on concepts I've been dealing with lately. There's a cohesive point here, and by assembling this literary collage I'm attempting to define the shape of it a little in advance of actually writing something more specific. On reflection, I thought it might be appropriate here as well.)
"In reality anger is a normal healthy reaction to being hurt or having your boundaries crossed. Since a lot of women have been and continue to be hurt and have our boundaries crossed I think it's important that we start to re-conceptualize the role of anger in our lives. It's time to see it as something healthy and powerful, an emotion that is as integral to healing as is grief." -- Jess Carfagnini, "Slightly More Than Soundbytes", September 2005
"MWMF is a place to be rid of this misogyny, to deconstruct it, to see what can happen when female borns escape the patriarchy and create a new world. Those who want a piece of this world, but are not female borns have to respect that this world is not for them, but they can stop whining about what they are not, stop hurting womyn with their cruel protests and comments about how female borns don't really exist, etc. and just create a new space that speaks to the needs and experiences of transsexuals." -- Common sentiment on Michigan Women's Music Festival discussion boards
"With us, it seems to me that everything is accomplished through desire. With us, to desire proves that we are doubly alive. Desire is a grand, irrational invasion which liberates more and more joy. In desire, we know we are united, that through us courses the memory of our grandmothers, the hearts of our mothers. It is nourishing beyond belief, beyond all logic. With us, it is desire which prevents neutrality from taking over. Each of us knows that when she feels desire, she is summoning up the words of all the others like herself, the words of the women who sow, the uninterrupted words which shoot across the beds of time in phosphorescent arrows." -- Jovette Marchessault, "A Lesbian Chronicle from Medieval Quebec"
"Fest isn't a job, or housing or access to medical care. It's more symbolic, like a lunch counter. I'd like to be able to eat at a lunch counter without being called a murderer or rapist. I'd like to be able to sit in the front of the bus and not be told that my sitting at the front of the bus today is forcing you to sit in the back when it could be anyone sitting at the front of the bus who makes you sit in the back, but I'm the only one you care about sitting on the bus at all." -- poster on MWMF message boards, expressing an unpopular opinion, with predictable results
"This is your community to come bitch, vent, rant, muse aloud and otherwise take a break from educating and "playing nice" with these people. You don't have to be PC or care about festies. You don't have to stroke any festie's self-esteem. You don't need to convince every ally-claimer that they are a "good ally" or affirm anyone's "ally status." -- wbw_is_bullshit community info
"And what I'm calling you to task for is the belief that causes you to make statments like "wanting to be female, outside and in" -- should be "a woman", not female, because, again, surgery can only mutilate your external genitalia, it can't make you biologically female, and female == biological sex, woman == social gender."You are male. Moreover, you are a man. You are biologically male and you were raised a man; you do not have the right to call yourself a woman. You haven't gone through what women go through, which are factors that are social and biological, and you have no right to call yourself a woman or use the female pronoun. " -- sjdr, in my own LJ, 3 1/2 long years ago
"If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice or representation." -- Abagail Adams
"Supposedly, male-to-female transsexuals are motivated by the deep-seated feeling that they have women's souls. However, - - - men who want to be women are not naturally feminine. There is no sense in which they have women's souls" -- Michael Bailey, "The Man Who Would Be Queen"
"I have come to see [...] privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was "meant" to remain oblivious. [...] privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools , and blank checks." -- Peggy McIntosh, "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack"
"Determination and perseverance move the world; thinking that others will do it for you is a sure way to fail." -- Marva Collins
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality." -- Bishop Desmond Tutu
"No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey." -- Jon Stewart, "The Daily Show"

A small island in the South Pacific called Vava'u. We stayed at Paradise Hotel and were able to look out at the beautiful harbour every day. Very romantic place.
Did a Military Exercise near Point Barrow Alaska in Jan of 79 so cold you had to put up a tent and heater to pee.
I was in the military for 20 years and traveled to places I've never heard of....and a few I had! I've visited most of Asia and a great deal of Europe, Australia and 46 of the 50 states.
One of the most pleasant vacation places I've stayed at was on the island of Boracay in the Philippines. There's only two ways to get to the island: boat or small plane. The sands there are exquisite: soft, powdery and white. The water is so clear that you think the bottom is only a few feet down and you're in 30 or more! Scuba diving and skin diving are great. It's truly an island paradise!
Less exotic, perhaps, was the winter I spent north of the Arctic Circle in Norway the year before the Olympics. We lived in a tent that had a space heater the size of a jet engine. The little town we were near was so different than anything I'd imagined. There was an entire store devoted just to condoms...not that I needed any. The restaurants featured seal and moose; as well as salmon and other local delicacies.

In the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind, the Aliens initiate communication with Earthlings using a series of harmonic tones. In real life, the Voyager spacecraft is traveling out of our Solar System with a golden record on-board that contains the sounds of Nature from Earth and a graphical representation of Human Beings, our Solar System and the element Hydrogen inscribed on it. It is hoped that any aliens who encounter it will be able to translate its meaning and possibly establish contact with us.
First encounters are fraught with hazards. Misunderstandings can cause hurt feelings at the least and interstellar war at the worst. This was highlighted in several science fiction stories. In the Star Trek television series most interspecies communication difficulties were avoided by the invention of the Universal Translator.
Communication is a problem here on our own small oasis we call Earth. The United Nations has leagues of employees whose job it is to translate the different languages. In addition to different languages there is the whole other matter of cultural norms. Normal behavior in one culture is shocking to another and the more alien a culture is the greater the potential for misunderstanding. A super advanced alien race from outer space may find our ways repulsive and we may find their ways incomprehensible.
But what would happen if we encountered the greatest intelligence in the entire universe. How would we interact? What if this intelligence knew humanity intimately? Moreover what if humanity owed everything we have and everything we are to the primeval efforts of this intellect? How should we communicate so as to avoid an apocalyptic disaster?
Of course I am speaking not about some super alien race but of someone infinitely greater, I am speaking about God!
If you are invited to an audience with the President of the United States, a King or the Pope, there are protocols to be observed in how we address them. Moreover there are specific guides to how you are to act if your visit is one of mutual aid or if your visit is a plea for help. Often a third party facilitates the encounter to ensure that all decorum is observed so the meeting goes smoothly. Who tells us how to meet and talk to God?
The answer is God, in the person of Jesus Christ.
At the Last Supper, Jesus first established the Eucharist as His means of remaining with us until He comes again. After His death and resurrection the Apostles and the first Christians continued to meet and re-present the Last Supper as their means of worship. That re-presentation is known as the Mass.
The Mass is our guide as to how we should communicate with God at the highest level possible. We enter into God's presence at the Mass and as it proceeds we are guided as to how we should present ourselves and how we should respond. God reaches through time and space and ensures that our communication with Him is clear and open. If it does not seem like that to us the problem is on our end of the line.
Within the Mass we even recite the Our Father – the prayer Jesus taught the Disciples when they asked Him to teach them how to pray. So we have a lesson within a lesson, a guide within a guide. The Our Father clearly tells us that God is Our Father and also tells us how He expects us to live our life.
We are to adore Him – Hallowed be thy name
We are to Trust Him – Give us our daily bread.
We are to forgive as we beg Him to forgive us.
The Liturgy of the Mass is our universal translator as we seek to keep open the lines of communication with God. He is always on the other end. There is never a disconnection unless we cause it. The Liturgy instructs us as it also enfolds our whole being using all our senses into the most intimate contact two beings can experience.
At the end of our time here on Earth, Viaticum is given to us prior to our last breath to nourish our soul on its journey. Reconciliation is offered to make us presentable before our most important audience. Finally it is within the Liturgy that we are beamed up on our final journey at the end of our earthly lives during a Funeral Mass.
The Liturgy then is not some stilted formalized ceremony but a highly precise means of sharing our thoughts, needs, fears and hopes. It is also God's means of giving to us all that we need to flourish and live life to the fullest.
Now that is what I call communication!

Matthew 7:24-27 (parallel to Luke 6:46-49 below) – Note that in this parable, both the wise man and the foolish man heard. The difference was in what they did…or didn't do…about what they heard. See note on Luke 8:11-15 where the dynamic is similar.

Well hi! Since I'm not that attractive, and to be honest I'm way less "pretty or sexy" than most of girls. I was wondering, could really a guy be intersted in ME? I mean, it's obvious, people are nicer when you're beautiful. Or am I gonna die alone and be left there with cats rolling all around eating my flesh.(OKLOL)! But really, do you know a couple like (the beauty and the beast) or maybe a hot guy in love with someone not specifically hot? Need answers!
Most Helpful Guy
It can happen, but its less common then the opposite.
Looks matter a lot to guys, and things like being smart, funny, successful etc can't make up for it. A good personality matters, but doesn't make up for it - its just a -second- factor guys look for in a relationship on top of looks. Having a really compatible sex drive does actually boost how attractive you seem, but only by so much.
Also note that different guys have different 'types'. A girl that many guys might think is a 6 might be like an 8 to me, because she's my 'type'. If she's sexually compatible with me in every way as well, I'd find her really quite hot, even though most guys would consider her average.
You say you're 'not that attractive'. What does that mean? Guys care about looks, but they also, in general, find women more attractive then women seem to find men. Women seem to find only a small number of men very attractive based on looks alone, wheras men find a lot of women fairly attractive based on looks alone.
Especially as you get older, if you have a pretty good body (not perfect, but you take good care of it), dress well, have a good hair cut and wear tasteful makeup, you're likely to be above average looking. Remember the average American woman is a size 16. Its pretty easy to do better then that. Butterfaces do not die alone with their cats.11|00|0

I bought my wedding veil from wedding dress bee and I love it. the price was cheap and the shipping was right on time! my actual review from my veil was :Super amazing veil! absolutely gorgeous, I got mine in red and I LOVE it! 2 thumbs up (:
I was very impressed with the quality of this dress. The fabric was beautiful and very well finished off. An absolute delight to look at and such a pleasure to wear it looks worth a million dollars.I was amazed with how quickly the item was made and shipped, well under the estimated time frame.
This dress is beautiful!! I had it made custom to fit for free. The neckline is really low for my mature body, so I am having the top part stiched together. It is a heavy full dress, lots of lining. I look forward to wearing it for my Groom.
I ordered the dress on 20 November 2012, i received it 11 days later ( to the Absecon)! That was a great service if you ask me!
The dress color i have chosen is champagne, it is a little darker that i had expected but that`s no problem... The size that fitted my measurement is size 6, and it fits perfectly! Except for the sleeves, they are a bit large so I will not wear them down but pull them a bit up.
All by all Excellent service! I will deffinetly order again on weddingdressbee.
Honestly, I was totally skeptical about ordering from this website.... I was skeptical about the quality of the dress...and a little nervous about the time it would take to be delivered. However, when I received it I was very happy with the quality. Had to adjust the shoulders, but other than that I was truly happy. I felt special in this dress and everyone loved it...most importantly HE loved it!!!!! :D I want to say thanks to all the people behind the scenes for the hard work!!

Handbook on the Economics of Crime
Edited by Bruce L. Benson and Paul R. Zimmerman
Chapter 16: The Economics of Capital Punishment and Deterrence
Paul R. Zimmerman
* Paul R. Zimmerman INTRODUCTION Economic research into the potential deterrent effect of capital punishment in the USA began with the seminal contributions of Isaac Ehrlich (1975a, 1977a). Ehrlich considered the issue from both a theoretical and an empirical perspective based upon Becker's (1968) formalization of the economic theory of crime. Using both national time-series (Ehrlich, 1975a) and state-level cross-sectional data (Ehrlich, 1977a), Ehrlich found a statistically significant deterrent effect from executions. Not surprisingly, these findings – which were carried even outside the academic arena1 – unleashed a fervent backlash. Indeed, virtually all aspects of Ehrlich's studies were the target of criticism by economists, sociologists, criminologists and statisticians (among others).2 Criticism of Ehrlich's work coalesced in a 1978 report issued by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS),3 which ultimately concluded that there was insufficient evidence to conclude that executions deterred murders. Despite other studies that supported Ehrlich's findings,4 and the fact that Ehrlich himself offered rebuttals to practically all of the vitriol levied against his work, the lasting impression is that Ehrlich's detractors effectively 'won the day' – that is, until a host of recent studies revisited the issue using modern econometric techniques.5 The proverbial adage that 'history repeats itself' appears to apply well to the most recent scholarship in the economics of capital punishment and deterrence in that it too has been the target of pointed critiques from economists and other social scientists. Indeed, many of these later studies were accused of suffering from similar (in some instances the same)...

This version of the Guardians of the Galaxy first appeared in Guardians of the Galaxy (vol. 2) #1 (May, 2008).
In the aftermath of the Phalanx invasion of the Kree, Star-Lord decides to form a team of interstellar heroes that will be proactive in protecting the galaxy, rather than reacting to crises as they happen. To this end, he recruits Adam Warlock, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Phyla-Vell (the new Quasar), Rocket Raccoon, and Groot, with Mantis as support staff.
On the recommendation of their ally, Nova, the group establishes a base of operations on the space station Knowhere, which possesses a teleportation system with near-universal range. An intelligent, telepathic dog named Cosmo is Knowhere's chief of security and works closely with the new team. After a confrontation with the Universal Church of Truth, the team meets a semi-amnesiac man who identifies himself as Vance Astro - Major Victory of the original Guardians of the Galaxy. Astro's declaration inspires the as-yet-unnamed team to adopt the "Guardians of the Galaxy" name for their own. When the team learns Star-Lord directed Mantis to telepathically coerce the heroes into joining the team, they disband.
Rocket Raccoon decided to continue Star-Lord's mission and started a search for the missing members. He asked Bug to join the team, as well Groot's return to full size and the addition of Mantis and Major Victory as field members.
Meanwhile Star-Lord was banished to the Negative Zone by Ronan the Accuser for his actions during the Phanlanx's attempted conquest of the Kree Empire. There, he finds himself in the middle of King Blastaar's fight to break into 42 and use its portal to invade Earth. Star-Lord allies with Jack Flag to defend the prison and contact the other Guardians for rescue. Rocket's new team successfully brings both of them back, and Flag becomes a Guardian.
Elsewhere, Drax and Phylla begin looking for Cammi, but on their search they talk to a seer who tells them about an oncoming war. Phylla was able to wake Moondragon from the dead, but lost her Quantum Bands in the process. The consequence for Phyla is that she is now the new avatar of death. They went back to Knowhere and did not follow up on the search for Cammi.
The feature film Guardians of the Galaxy is set for release on August 1st, 2014.

Do they get competitive with each other for big jobs? Does one get mad if the other gets a job that they were gunning for? Does one keep their connections secret so the other doesn't use them to get jobs? Nope, nope and more nope.
In a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, Gigi revealed that she's not competitive with Kendall or any of her other model friends for that matter.
"I don't really feel competition like that," she told them. "Especially in a job like this -we look different, like Hailey [Baldwin] is brunette now. So literally, if they want Kendall [Jenner], they're not going to want someone who looks like me. It's completely different. I think friendships are a lot more valuable than one job. If you're going to let it ruin that, then that's stupid."
So true! There's enough success to go around, as Kendall and Hailey and Gigi are all seeing...and we love that they have each other because it is tough out there and strong women need to stick together.

How to Care for Your Leather Furnishings and Goods
A complimentary guide from your leather care technicians here at Creative Colors International®
The Story of a Natural Beauty
Leather is a natural material made from the hides of animals. Just as no two animals are exactly alike, no two pieces of leather are identical. In addition to its own genetic heritage, each hide bears the little nicks and scars that marked the animal during its lifetime. These natural characteristics are not defects and are considered marks of distinction in "full grain" leather, adding to the unique appeal of each finished product. When a more uniform appearance is required, the leather can be sanded to produce what is called a "corrected grain".
Structure of the Hide
When hides are converted to leather, all nonessential parts of the original animal hide are removed, leaving only the surface "grain" and middle "corium" layers. It is the remarkable structure of this corium — made up of millions of microscopic fibers, twisted and interwoven by nature — that gives leather its highly tensile strength and other desirable qualities.
The Tanning Process
In the tanning process the hides are chemically cured to prevent deterioration. The chemicals used in this process also enhance the flexibility of leather and improve its ability to withstand extreme humidity and temperatures. Tanning is followed by another process that restores the natural lubricants lost during the conversion of raw hide into finished leather.

Scarring is a Natural Characteristic of Leather!
Anything that happens to a cow while it is alive is natural. Things that happen to the hide after it is removed becomes a manufacturing or delivery problem. There are four basic types of scars in leather.
INVERTED — These types of scars often appear as small pinholes from the hair follicle, pock marks from insect bites, or lines indented from light scraping against a fence.
RAISED — These types of scars are almost always raised lines in design caused from the cow running into barbed wire, or fighting with an animal.
"TREE KNOTS" — This type of scar is found in many shapes and appears as if there is a gouge and the area surrounding the gouge appears very dry, much like refinishing the area around a tree knot in wood.
BRANDS & SURGERY SCARS — This happens while the cow is alive and therefore it is a natural scar.
To retain its beauty and other desirable qualities, leather requires frequent conditioning to replace the natural lubricants lost during normal use. With the proper care, leather can be protected from excessive dryness that can cause it to crack, and from moisture that may cause it to swell or mildew.
Because unprotected leather is susceptible to spotting from water and other liquids, a newly purchased leather item should be treated immediately to help prevent permanent stains from occurring. Be sure to use only the proper protection for your particular type of leather.
Pigmented Leathers:
The use of too much oil or wax, however, can clog pores, causing leather to lose its ability to allow air in and moisture out. For the best protection, we recommend a mild dishwashing soap. Ivory liquid dishwashing soap is an excellent way to keep your leather clean and looking new. Use 1 part Ivory to 10 parts water.
Because it contains no petroleum distillates (e.g. turpentine or mineral spirits), it will not "pull" color and is safe for even bright and light fashion tones.
Dairy products that spill on darker dyed leather furniture and goods will leave a spot. After cleaning, the oils in the dairy products will eventually rise back up to the surface. Try and be careful with any dairy product next to your leather.
Lighter colored leather needs to be cleaned often. Dirt, dust and clothing will leave traces on the leather. Especially, black and dark-blue dyed jeans.
Never use preparations made for smooth leather on suede or "rough out" leather. Use only cleaners or preparations made specifically for suede.
Function and Versatility
The qualities of leather — created by nature and preserved by the tanner — are superior to those of any man-made or synthetic material.
FLEXIBILITY — Leather stretches to conform to individual contours, yet retains sufficient shape to provide support.
DURABILITY — Leather resists tears, punctures, heat, cold, and other stresses so well that it is used in many safety applications where other materials fail.
COMFORT — Leather "breathes," allowing air in and moisture out. A natural insulator, leather protects against extremes in temperature and humidity.
BEAUTY — By its very nature, leather comes in a wide range of pleasing textures and surface patterns. It also takes well to a variety of finishing processes, designs and color applications. A rich "feel" and pleasing scent heighten the appeal of leather.
Tips for the Care of Fine Leather Furnishings & Goods
- Always hang leather coats on wide, padded hangers. Use shoe trees in shoes and boots. Stuff empty handbags with tissues to retain their shape.
- Do not store leather goods in plastic bags or other nonporous covers. If clothing must be stored in a garment bag, keep it open for ventilation.
- Allow wet or damp leather to air-dry naturally away from any source of heat. Apply a little conditioner when leather is nearly dry to restore flexibility. Follow this with a full conditioning treatment when leather has completely dried.
- In winter, promptly remove any salt deposits from shoes and boots by sponging with clear water; then follow with the treatment recommended above for wet or damp leather.
- To prevent mildew, protect leather from excessive humidity. In a dry environment, to prevent it from drying out and cracking, regularly condition leather.
- Do not use waxes, silicone products or other leather preparations that impair the ability of the leather to "breathe."
- Never use caustic household chemicals to clean leather. Avoid leather preparations that contain alcohol or petroleum distillates, such as turpentine and mineral spirits.
- Use of mink oil or other animal fats will darken leather. Animal fat can turn rancid, causing the stitching and leather to rot.
