What does internalized racism mean? One might describe it as a fancy term for a problem that's pretty easy to grasp. In a society where racial prejudice thrives in politics, communities, institutions and popular culture, it's difficult for racial minorities to avoid absorbing the racist messages that constantly bombard them. Thus, people of color sometimes adopt a white supremacist mindset that results in self-hatred and hatred of their respective racial group.

Minorities suffering from internalized racism, for example, may loathe the physical characteristics that make them racially distinct such as skin color, hair texture or eye shape. Others may stereotype those from their racial group and refuse to associate with them. And some may outright identify as white.

Overall, minorities suffering from internalized racism buy into the notion that whites are superior to people of color. Think of it as Stockholm Syndrome in the racial sphere.

Causes of Internalized Racism

While some minorities grew up in diverse communities where racial differences were appreciated, others felt rejected due to their skin color. Being bullied because of ethnic background and encountering harmful messages about race in greater society may be all it takes to get a person of color to begin loathing themselves. For some minorities, the impetus to turn racism inward occurs when they see whites receiving privileges denied to people of color.

"I don't want to live in the back. Why do we always have to live in the back?" a fair-skinned black character named Sarah Jane asks in the 1959 film "Imitation of Life." Sarah Jane ultimately decides to abandon her black mother and pass for white because she "wants to have a chance in life." She explains, "I don't want to have to come through back doors or feel lower than other people."

In the classic novel "Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man," the mixed-race protagonist first begins to experience internalized racism after he witnesses a white mob burn a black man alive. Rather than empathize with the victim, he chooses to identify with the mob. He explains:

"I understood that it was not discouragement or fear, or search for a larger field of action and opportunity, that was driving me out of the Negro race. I knew that it was shame, unbearable shame. Shame at being identified with a people that could with impunity be treated worse than animals."

Internalized Racism and Beauty

To live up to Western beauty standards, ethnic minorities suffering from internalized racism may attempt to alter their appearance to look more "white." For those of Asian descent, this could mean opting to have double eyelid surgery. For those of Jewish descent, this could mean having rhinoplasty. For African Americans, this could mean chemically straightening one's hair and weaving in extensions. In addition, people of color from a variety of backgrounds use bleaching creams to lighten their skin.

It's important to note, however, that not all people of color who alter their physical appearance do so to look "whiter." For example, many black women say they straighten their hair to make it more manageable and not because they're ashamed of their heritage. Some people turn to bleaching creams to even out their skin tone and not because they're trying to uniformly lighten their skin.

Who's Accused of Internalized Racism?

Over the years, a variety of derogatory terms have cropped up to describe those likely suffering from internalized racism. They include "Uncle Tom," "sellout," "pocho" or "whitewashed." While the first two terms are typically used by African Americans, pocho and whitewashed have circulated among immigrants of color to describe people who have assimilated to white, Western culture, with little knowledge of their native cultural heritage. Also, a number of nicknames for those suffering from internalized racism involve foods that are dark on the outside and light on the inside such as Oreo for blacks; Twinkie or banana for Asians; coconut for Latinos; or apple for Native Americans.

Putdowns such as Oreo are controversial because many blacks recount being called the racial term for doing well in school, speaking standard English or having white friends, not because they didn't identify as black. All too often this insult demeans those who don't fit into a box. Accordingly, many blacks who are proud of their heritage find this term hurtful.

While such name-calling hurts, it persists. So, who might be called such a name? Multiracial golfer Tiger Woods has been accused of being a "sellout" because he identifies as "Cablinasian" rather than as black. Cablinasian is a name Woods devised to represent the fact that he has Caucasian, black, American Indian and Asian heritage.

Woods has not only been accused of suffering from internalized racism because of how he racially identifies but also because he's been romantically involved with a string of white women, including his Nordic ex-wife. Some people view this as a sign that he's uncomfortable with being an ethnic minority. The same has been said about actress and producer Mindy Kaling, who's faced criticism for repeatedly casting white men as her love interests on sitcom "The Mindy Project."

People who refuse to date members of their own racial group may, in fact, suffer from internalized racism, but unless they declare this to be true, it's best not to make any assumptions. In any case, children may be more likely to admit to suffering from internalized racism than adults. A child may openly yearn to be white, while an adult will likely keep such wishes to himself for fear of being judged.

Those who serially date whites or refuse to identify as an ethnic minority may be accused of suffering from internalized racism but so are people of color who espouse political beliefs considered detrimental to minorities. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and Ward Connerly, a Republican who's led the effort to strike down affirmative action in California and elsewhere, have been accused of being "Uncle Toms," or race traitors, due to their right-wing beliefs.

Whites who associate mainly with people of color or politically align themselves with minority groups have historically been accused of betraying their race as well and dubbed names such as "wiggers" or "n---er lovers." Whites active in the civil rights movement were harassed and terrorized by other whites for seemingly "siding" with blacks.

Wrapping Up

It's impossible to tell if someone suffers from internalized racism simply based on their friends, romantic partners or political beliefs. But if you suspect that someone in your life suffers from internalized racism, try to talk them about it, if you have a good relationship with them.

Ask them in a non-confrontational manner why they exclusively associate with whites, want to alter their physical appearance or downplay their racial background. Point out positives about their racial group and why they should be proud to be a person of color.

Continued from page 1
For a variety of reasons, banks do not want the shares to fall below the deal price. When a deal trades below the IPO price, it is called "breaking deal price" and it sends a chill and sometimes panic into banks, investors, and issuers when a deal "breaks deal price." Why? First, it makes the customers – mutual funds and other investors – upset. Investors often blame the investment banks if a deal goes below the IPO price, as though the banks were supposed to guarantee them a profit. Second, the issuer often gets upset – "How did you misprice my deal?" Few CEO's want to see their stock price fall on their first day of trading as their ego is often tied into the share price as though somehow the stock price is a proxy about how investors feel about them. If you are the bank that messed up the IPO of a tech highflyer, you are less likely to get the call back to handle the other business like M&A or secondary offerings.
Third, a deal that trades below the IPO price makes getting the next IPO tougher. Banks keep track of deals they are on and when they pitch new business, they show tables to prospective IPO candidates touting their performance in a number of areas – these are called "league tables." Banks measure themselves against each other based on the size of the deals, the marquee deals, the aftermarket performance of deals. If a stock goes up, the bank likes to take some credit that they take "winning" companies public.
Selling Begets Selling
But there is another, more practical reason banks don't want deals to close below their IPO price. The public market panic of a deal that falls below the IPO price is palpable. Some portfolio managers who do not want losing trades on their books, and who do not want to look stupid to investors, start selling quickly and indiscriminately once a stock crosses the deal price. Many portfolio managers know that playing an IPO can be a crap shoot and rule #1 is take profits quickly and if you are not going to win big, the second most important thing is to make sure you don't lose big. So they sell.
So you have the banks that started buying the shares to help stabilize the market and to make sure the deal does not unravel for their own downstream goals, but a whole host of investors wanting to sell quickly if the deal crosses the deal price. Banks can help sop up some of the selling, but they cannot control the market and they cannot alone buy enough shares to sway a market that decides to sell the shares. The banks are willing to lose a little on the initial trading, especially when the fees and the marquee of a deal is as big as Facebook, but no bank is willing to lose sizable money or take on too much risk, so their ability to buy is limited by their risk tolerance. If the stock dips far enough below deal price, the banks that had been buying the stock, either stop buying or even are forced to limit their losses by selling the shares – pushing the share price down further.
What I don't like in IPO situations like this is that investors do not know what the market really looks like in a normal sense. That is, on any given day there are buyers and sellers of a stock, and the stock price movement reflects that collective net trades more or less. However, with IPO's you have another party in the mix that is not fully aligned, rational buyer or seller – the banks. Banks may be supporting the stock and buying the shares creating a riskier trade for the other buyers in the market.
So what should be done?
As a start, I think the SEC should look into this much more closely than they have. It seems perfectly appropriate for the SEC to ban short selling and naked short selling by banks on IPO and secondary offerings. There might even be a good argument for banning the role of banks as acting as a stabilizing agents as they might in fact not be stabilizing the market at all, especially in extreme situations. At the least, investors should be able to know the net long or net short position of the banks either real-time or at the end of any trading day. While this does not help investors intraday, it does increase transparency. People should know "How much of the deal does the bank own?"
Would a reasonable investor make a better informed trade knowing whether the syndicate owns a lot of a recent IPO? Yes, they would, so by this simple test, new IPO trading rules could help protect investors and make bank balance sheets less risky. Clearing up the conflicted interests of market participants should improve IPO transparency for investors, although IPO investing with or without these changes is still a very risky prospect.


text: Papua New Guinea has seen it's fair share of shark attacks with a fatality rate of 50%. With 48 total attacks and 24 fatalities since 1848, the Pacific Ocean island is a scary place to swim. The island attracts many tourists for its diverse and beautiful marine life. In 2011 a French diplomat was bitten on the leg while kite-surfing and was flown immediately to Australia for medical assistance. Despite the number of attacks, Papua New Guinea continues to be large fishing port, and sharks tend to be more at risk than humans.

Yorkshire Place-Name Meanings P to S
P Pannal to Purston Jaglin
From Pan Hal or Pan Haugh a rounded pan shaped valley or piece of land.
Pateley Bridge
Path - ley - bridge. The path with a clearing near a bridge.
The Pennines are first mentioned in an eighteenth century chronicle supposedly made by a medieval monk called Richard of Cirecncester, but the work is a forgery. We have no early recorded name for the Pennines which is amazing when we consider that these hills form the most siginficant upland region in England. It is possible that the name itself is a forgery and that the name has stuck. It is worth remembering that the ancient British and Welsh word for hill was Pen, but we cannot be certain of the antiquity of the name of the Pennines.
Ingleborough, Pendle Hill and Pen-y-ghent are highest hills between Scotland and Trent, so a Pennine saying goes. This is not strictly true, Cross Fell in the Pennines is higher as are many of the Lake District Fells. Pen-y-ghent, the 2,273 feet high hill near Settle, North Yorkshire is however one of the most famous peaks of the Pennines. Its familiarity is perhaps the reason why it has one of the oldest names in the Pennines and a clue to the origin of the name may be gained by looking it up in the Atlas. Here we can find Pen-y-fan Pen y Gadair, Pen y Gaer, Pen y Parc, Pen y Rhwbyn and many other names beginning in this similar fashion. In this list Pen-y-ghent is very much the odd one out because it is found in England all the others are Welsh. Pen-y-ghents name is Welsh and is a reminder of the days of the Ancient British when most of the country we now call England spoke a language closley akin to Welsh. Pen usually means hill and y is the definite article 'the' so its name means the something hill although the order of words is different to the way it would be structured in English. The meaning of ghent is however unknown. It is known that a number of Welsh Kingdoms notably Elmet and Loidis survived in the western part of Yorkshire into early Saxon times and the name of Pen-y-ghent may be a throwback to these times. It is not unusual howver for English hills to retain the word pen howver which is wehy we have Penshaw Hill near Sunderland and Pendle Hill in Lancashire.
Pickering means the people of Picer or Picere and is either an old personal name for an Anglo-Saxon, or an unknown tribal name that could mean the dwellers at the edge of the 'pic' or hill. A place called Dickering in eastern Yorkshire is thought to mean dwellers at the edge of the dyke. The first recorded owner of Pickering as a surname was Reginald de Pickering in 1165. The surname means a man 'of Pickering'.
Pocklington means Poca's peoples farm.
The name means broken bridge and is part French part Latin. Compare with the word fracture.
Purston Jaglin
Purston is a corruption of Preston meaning the priest's settlement. Jaglin is a corruption of Jakelin, perhaps a one time owner.
R Raskelf to Ruswarp
From the Viking Raskialf meaning the headland frequented by roe deer.
The rock or scar inhabited by ravens.
is a village situated close to the A66 between Barnard Castle and Scotch Corner and was also the name of a castle which existed in the Team valley near Gateshead. Both Ravensworths belonged at one time to a person or persons called Hrafn or Hraefn. Ravensworth Castle, near Gateshead was demolished in 1953, but was a one time home of the Liddell and Gascoigne families. In earliest times it was a 'worth', or an enclosed settlement belonging to Hraefn. Most places ending in 'worth' are Anglo-Saxon in origin and refer to an enclosed settlement of some kind. Ravensworth, North Yorkshire, however does not have this meaning as Ravensworth Near Gateshead because its early recorded forms are Rafneswad, Ravenswat and Ravenswath. This name seems to mean the wath belonging to Hraefn. Wath was the Viking word for a ford and would suggest that the stream that passes through the centre of Ravensworth village was forded in Viking times. The similar Viking place name Ravensthorpe meaning Hraefn's farm occurs in West Yorkshire and Northamptonshire but some place names beginning in 'Raven' are likely to refer to the bird of that name. Ravenscar between Scarborough and Whitby means Ravensker the rock of the raven, from the Viking word Sker. Other Raven names include Ravenseat in Swaledale, the seat or hill of the raven and Ravenglass in Cumbria which derives from the Celtic Rann Glas meaning the part share of land belonging to someone called Glas.
Redcar seems to have been situated in pooorly drained land as 'car', the second part of the name derives from the Viking word Kjar meaning marshland. Neighbouring Marske, also betrays boggy origins as its name is a Scandinavian pronunciation of the English word marsh. Redcar, called Redker in 1165, Ridkere in 1407 and Readcar in 1653 means either the red coloured marshland from the red stone in the area, or reedy marsh. The second is quite likely as the word reed often occurs as 'red' in English place names. In 1510 Redcar was described as a 'Poore Fishing Toune' and was for many centuries overshadowed by its neighbour Coatham which held a market and fair from 1257. Coatham's name derives from Cot -Ham and means the shelter homestead. It was perhaps a place where fishing boats took shelter from the stormy seas. Coatham was one of the most important fishing villages in the area and in 1801 it had a population of 680 people. Comparable population figures in the district show that 993 people lived at Hartlepool, 167 at Thornaby and only 25 people lived at Middlesbrough. Redcar rose from obscurity in 1846 when an extension of the Stockton and Darlington Railway brought industry and seaside day trippers to the area. Redcar quickly expanded and soon absorbed Coatham. A further extension of the railway to Saltburn in 1861 stimulated the population growth there and although the building of Saltburn Pier in 1868 was a major attraction, Redcar's racecourse, opened in 1872 ensured that day-trippers continued to flock. Industrial growth in the late eighteenth century came in the form of ironworks and later steelworks of which the most prominent were those of Dorman and Long. In the following century Dorman and Long built a new town called Dormanstown right on Redcar's doorstep to accomodate the expanding workforce of the district and add further to the population of the Redcar area.
From an Anglo Saxon word meaning at the stream.
This means Rye Calf, Calf meaning a small island near a larger one. Islands were formed by the River Rye. A Viking army landed here in 1066
North Yorkshire's Richmond was originally called Hindrelac, an Anglo-Viking name which is thought to describe a woodland clearing frequented by a hind or female deer. The present name of this historic Swaledale town is Old French and derives from Riche-Monte a common French place name which means strong hill. It was here in 1071 that a Norman French Count called Alan the Red built a castle on the lofty hill overlooking the River Swale. The territory surounding Richmond became his land and was named Richmond Shire a Shire comprised of the former Viking wappentake districts of Gilling and Hang. Subsequent Lords of Richmondshire were known as the Earls of Richmond and included King Henry the Seventh. In 1499, four years after his coronation, King Henry, the Earl of Richmond constructed a palace at a place called Sheen in the county of Surrey. Sheen was renamed Richmond and is now the famous London Borough of Richmond upon Thames. Richmond in Surrey therefore takes its name from Richmond in Yorkshire.
This means Rye Valley. See also Jervaulx
Ripon, formerly in the West Riding, but now in North Yorkshire has what is known as a 'folk name' which means it is a name of tribal origin, referring to the people who settled the area. This is quite common for counties and regions but rare for the names of villages, towns and cities, which usually take their names from a single individual or from neighbouring natural and geographical features. Records of the name Ripon include Hrypis and Hripis in 715 AD, Inhrypam in 730, Onripum in 890, Rypum in 1030 and Ripun in the Domesday Book of 1089. Historically, the place was associated with the Anglo-Saxon saint called Wilfrid who established a monastery here in the seventh century. The monastery occupied the site of the present Ripon Cathedral. Ripon, may have been a place of importance before Wilfrid's time and was perhaps a central meeting place for the Hrype tribe, from which it takes its name. The origin of this Anglo-Saxon tribal name and its exact tribal boundaries are unknown, but its area of settlement may have covered Yorkshire and the East Midlands. Nearby Ripley almost certainly means the woodland of the Hyrppes and a place called Ribston may have been a boundary stone. Repton in Derbyshire derives from 'Hyrpa dun' meaning the hill of the Hyrpe tribe, providing evidence for settlement further afield.
This village near Northallerton belonged to a Viking called Romund. It has nothing to do with the Romans. See Northallerton.
Roseberry Topping
There is an old saying When Roseberry Topping wears a cap, let cleveland then beware of a clap which is a recognition that the cloud-topped summit of this famous landmark could result in a heavy clap or shower of rain. Roseberry Topping is sometimes known as The cleveland Matterhorn because of its distinctive shape and is steeped in local legend. In olden times the hill was closely associated with the Vikings and the word Topping comes from Toppen an Old Danish word for a hill. Roseberry is a corrupted name which derives in an unexpected way from the nearby settlement of Newton-under-Roseberry. It is known that the original Old Norse name for Roseberry Topping was Odins-Beorg meaning Odins Hill. Odin was the most important Viking God and it is possible that Roseberry was a centre for his worship in Pagan times. Over the years, the name Odinsberg gradually changed to Othensberg, Ohenseberg, Ounsberry and Ouesberry. Association with the village then called Newton-under-Ouseberry at the foot of the hill led to the modern name Roseberry when the final R of under produced the initial letter of the modern name. Newton under Ouseberry is now called Newton under Roseberry. Incidentally the Norse God Odin is still remembered by his alternative Saxon name of Woden from which the name of Wednesday (Wodens Day) derives.
Ruswarp is situated near Whitby on the northern bank of the River Esk. Early forms of the name include Risewarp and Rysewarp in the twelfth century, Riswarp in the fourteenth century and Ruswarpe in the seventeenth century. The first part of the name derives from the Anglo-Saxon word 'Hris' which means brushwood. The change from Hris to Rus has resulted from the influence of local dialect. Warp, the second part of the name derives from the Old Norse word Varpa meaning to throw and cast. It is thought to refer to silt thrown up by the River Esk. This word also occurs in the Norwegian place name Varpet. The word 'warp' is known in Yorkshire dialect to specifically refer to sediment formed by a river, or to mud which checks the flow of a river. It is thought that Ruswarp's name, (the w is not pronounced) refers to silty land overgrown with brushwood.
S Saltburn to Swale River
Saltburn by the Sea
Saltburn can trace its history to at least 369 AD when the Romans built a watchtower at Huntcliff overlooking the sea. This was in the later days of the Roman Empire, when there was a serious danger of barbarian coastal raids and Huntcliff was one of a series of watchtowers protecting the Yorkshire coast. By 410 AD the Romans had deserted Britain, which was left to the mercy of raiding Anglo-Saxons from Germany and Denmark. Saltburn's Roman tower was defended by a group of Romanised Britons, who met with a sad end. The raiders brutally murdered them all and dumped their bodies in a nearby well, where they were finally discovered in an excavation in 1923. The skeletons of fourteen people, men women and children were found and were clearly the victims of murder. The responsible Anglo-Saxons, or another group like them, settled the Cleveland coast and named a local stream 'Sealt-Burna' meaning the salty stream, perhaps from its salty water or because of the salt-like alum found in the neighbourhood. Vikings came three centuries later and changed the names of all the local burns to becks. The settlement on the Salt Burn retained its name, but the stream became the Skelton Beck. The little fishing village of Saltburn grew beneath the prominent Cat Nab. It was a small place, famed for smuggling and fishing until 1860, when the Stockton and Darlington Railway was extended to the site and Henry Pease of Darlington set about the development of the Victorian coastal resort of Saltburn-by-the-Sea.
This means the farm or Thorpe belonging to a Viking called Skali.
Scarborough is a Viking place name mentioned in Viking sagas. In the 'Kormakssaga, Flateyjarbok' Scarborough is called Skarthborg and in the 'Orkneyingasaga' it is referred to as Skarthabork. In the case of Scarborough, the word 'borough' derives from the Viking word 'Borg' meaning 'stronghold' and Scarborough means Skarthi's stronghold. According to the 'Kormaksaga' two Viking brothers called Thorgils and Kormak went harrying in Ireland, England and Wales and established a stronghold called Scarborough on the English east coast. Thorgils was known to his brother by the nickname 'Hare Lip', or in the Viking language 'Skarthi' . It is probable that 'Hare-Lip' gave his name to Scarborough. The brothers Kormak and Thorgills were in the service of King Harald Grafeld, who was king of Norway from 960-965AD. This dates the Viking foundation of Scarborough to the mid tenth century. Kormak and Thorgils accompanied the king's expedition to Bjarmaland or Permia in northern Russia in 966AD. It is known that the expedition to England immediately followed this and that Kormak died in the year 967AD. This dates the Viking foundation of Scarborough more precisely to 966 or 967 AD. The Vikings were not the first to settle at Scarborough. There may already have been an Anglo-Saxon settlement on the site and there was certainly a Roman signal station here.
Derives from the Viking word Skali meaning a shieling.
This name drives from the Anglo-Saxon word scraef, a cave.
This means the Sallow village.
Sheriff Hutton
Once held by Bertram Bulmer, the Sheriff of York who died in 1166. See also Hutton Rudby for explanation of Hutton
See Skipton.
In ealier times called Skytheby. This was the village or farm belonging to a Viking called Skithi.
See Marske by the Sea
A corruption of Skog's by. A village near a Scrog or wood.
This Viking influenced name is though to mean Skinners grove or pit.
Shipton and Skipton, both in Yorkshire are another example of Viking and Saxon place names living side by side in the same region. These two places have nothing to do with either ships or skips, but both mean sheep farm. They are simply Saxon and Viking versions of names with the same meaning.
Slape Wath
This is a combination of the Anglo Saxon word Slaep meaning mud, mire or marshy and the Viking word Wath, a ford. Thus muddy or marshy ford.
This derives from the Viking word Sletta, a flat field
A Viking name meaning Slengr's village.
An Anglo-Saxon name thought to mean pasture.
South Bank
Situated on the south bank of the Tees
This derives from Saur-by meaning muddy village.
A spen or spenni was a kind of hedge.
The place name Spennithorne , along with High Spen in North West Durham and Spennymoor in County Durham, are all thought to contain an Anglo-Saxon word 'Spen', but its exact meaning is not certain. An early reference to a fox jumping twice over 'a spenne' has led to the suggestion that a spen was a hedge or something similar. Attempts to relate the word to the Anglo-Saxon 'Spannan' meaning to clasp or fasten or the Old High German Spanan meaning to entice, simply add to the mystery. Early records of Spennymoor's name include Spendingmor in 1381 and Spennyngmore in 1446, but the only certainty is that 'mor' or 'more' referred to the open moorland of the area that existed before enclosure. The form Spendingmor contains the element 'ing' which often signifies a family or kinship group, making it possible that Spen was someone's name. Spennithorne near Leyburn in Wensleydale is likely to have a similar meaning to Spennymoor. This place was recorded in the Yorkshire section of the Domesday Book as Speningetorp in 1086 and as Spenithorn in 1150. Later variations included Spennigthorn in 1289 and Spenythorne in 1285. The thorne in Spennithorne, is likely to be a thorn tree found in the area although the early spelling 'torp' could be 'thorpe' the Danish word for a small farm. High Spen in Durham and the Spen valley in western Yorkshire seem to be the only other places in the country to contain the mysterious word or name spen.
An area of land or an acre belonging to a Viking called Stein
This was the village or 'by' belonging to a Viking called Stein.
Situated in a deep coastal creek formed by the Roxby Beck, Staithes has a Viking name meaning landing place. This may be one of the places on the eastern coast where Vikings landed at the beginning of their conquest of Northern England. Not all Norsemen landed on the eastern coast however, as some like the Vikings Croc and Toc sailed into the Mersey estuary where their staithes are remembered in the place names Croxteth and Toxteth. In the North Eastern coalfield the word staithes was later used to describe wooden piers from which ships were loaded with coal on the Rivers Tyne, Wear and Tees.
Thought to derive from the Viking Stong-how meaning pole hill.
Stanwick St John
From the Viking Stan Weggs meaning stone walls. It was the site of a stone walled fortress in pre-Viking times. See also Aldbrough St John.
A myseterious name which is often compared to the ancient name of Whitby. See Whitby
Sutton on the Forest
The southern farm on the forest.
The southern farm near the white stone cliff. It claims to be the longest place name in England, but should perhaps be discounted because it is hyphenated.
Swale, River
A river name of Anglo-Saxon origin. It is thought to mean whirling, swirling swallowing river.

Do you have a child that seems to be severely lacking in height? This can be attributed to many causes particularly one called cretinism. This article will focus on the facts that you would need to know about cretinism and how it affects a person whether it be directly or indirectly.
This refers to a condition wherein the physical as well as mental development of the person inflicted with the disease is greatly hampered. This condition may be due to a lot of causes. However, it can be said that the following has the most to do with the condition itself.
The cause of Cretinism can be attributed to severe hypothyroidism. In addition to this, it has been found out that the condition of the thyroid that has to do with Cretinism is usually congenital. If left untreated, this condition can lead to severe impairment not only in the height of the patient but also in terms of the mental capacity.
- Height Impairment would be apparent as early as the first year of age.
- In addition to this, the patient may have reduced the muscle tone and hampered coordination as well.
- Adult height would normally reach up to 3 ft. 4 in. or 5 feet at the tallest.
- There is also going to be neurological impairment for the patient who has cretinism.
- Aside from this, the reflexes would be slower than normal.
- The bone maturation is impaired
- Puberty is slowed down
- There is an impediment when it comes to sexual development. Therefore, infertility is not a strange condition when it comes to people with cretinism.
- Because of this, a severe case of cretinism may have the afflicted person unable to walk or stand up.
- Other physical manifestations include having literally thick skin, a swollen tongue and a protruding abdomen.
Treatment and Prevention
- If you want to prevent this condition, from ever affecting your child, it is important that you follow these tips so that you would not have to encounter this condition in the future. Here they are as follows:
- It would help to have your baby take thyroxin tablets. In addition to this, make sure that you also have an iodine filled diet. Iodine is known to prevent hypothyroidism which can be found as the main cause of cretinism.
- This is why is important for you to know everything that you can about hypothyroidism so that you would be able to make the necessary precautions against it. If ever you encounter the said condition, you would be able to also do the necessary measures to counteract any effect that it may have on your child.
We hope that this article helps to understand the condition more and how to possibly prevent this in the future. Remember that knowledge is power and that you can do everything that needs to be done if you only know what you are up against in terms of diseases and cures as well. This way, you will be much more equipped to handle it when it comes.

I'm Ready Now Available to Order
We're very happy to announce Clean Sate MD Jeff Mitchell's first book is now available to order.
I'm Ready: The 7 Signs That Show You're Right for the Job is now onsale via our publisher Tangent Books and is the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign launched at the end of 2015.
Using an innovative, storytelling approach taking readers through Clean Slate's 7 Signs training, the book is both about and for jobseekers struggling to get back into work.
The Big Issue founder, Lord John Bird of Notting Hill says of I'm Ready:
"I'm Ready – The 7 Signs That Show You're Right for the Job is a timely intervention in how we help people out of destructive dependency. How we carefully, thoughtfully and in a supportive way help people who previously were stuck and outside of help to lift their game.
The jobcentre cannot do this transformational work on its own. The 7 Signs are that bridge that gets people ready to take on the challenge.
I was heartened by the tenderly described lives of people like Jock, a person who I feel I have known for much of the last 25 years. A man who was defeated and added daily to that defeat but in the end could use the 7 Signs to find a connection with his own potential and resilience, building on the fact that he had learned a rough kind of survival and turning that to good ends: his own transformation.
I have worked with Jeff Mitchell over the years and in his work with 7 Signs I can see the same no-nonsense thoroughness he brought to the development of The Big issue. It is accompanied by a profound belief in people often written off, that shines out of every page of this book.
We need more level-headed believing in people who misfortune has stalked; that is why this book is so vital and real and embraceable. Buy, read and grasp how essential it is for us to support programmes like the 7 Signs to turn help into opportunity for change."
Click here to to order I'm Ready through Tangent Books.
We will be launching the book on 13th October 2016 at the Museum of Bath at Work, the event is free to attend and we'd love to see you there. Order tickets though Eventbrite below.

can't say everything in the story is AMAZING AWESOME FULFILLS ALL MY HOPES DREAMS DESIRES AND EXPECTATIONS, but overall Naruto has been a pretty enjoyable comic
This for me as well. It's a pretty decent manga, despite the drops in quality with some arcs.

Naruto is better than most of the mangas out there. If you think Naruto is **** then, maybe you should stop reading like 80 percent of the mangas out there.
Besides, I think Naruto is going to end soon, because Naruto has finally gotten the ninetail fox's chakura. It's going to end soon so most people, who are too lazy to wait for the releases will read it again.

My response to this thread is: Why do you care?
For any other person who didn't get what I was trying to point out, your opinions are insignificant compared to the masses. What you may think to be true can be far from it, for example:
The statement on McDonald's food. You think of it as lunacy to consider it "good" food, but look at it this way. Out of most fast food chains, McDonald's has been ripped on the most for being unhealthy. They have also been audited based on the healthiness of their foods and has made huge changes towards health. Compare this to other fast food franchises such as burger king who don't get so much bad rep as McDonald's does, and compare? McDonald's has stopped releasing any fantastically huge heart-attack inducing burger, whereas burger king has released the steakhouse series, the angry whopper series, and the stacker series (which is bacon, cheese, burger, REPEAT). Which one is healthier now?
Bottom line...McDonald's food is good. People crave their mcflurries, their fries, and occasionally their burgers or chicken nuggets all the time, and when compared to other fast food burger places, they are actually healthier. Just because YOU think that McDonald's food is still unhealthy based on the stigma it possesses for being the front line fast food restaurant does not mean that it is true, and just because YOU think that it is bad because of this also doesn't make it true.
It fills you up, it's not overly expensive, and it's healthier then plenty of alternatives. Not the quality or rating that gives it a great or best, but it definitely deserves a good. Point being, when someone says fast-food burger joint, McDonald's comes up for a reason.
Back to the topic though, Naruto: genre - comedy, shounen, action.
Action - (particularly recently) There has been a lot of action particularly in the 1 on 1 situation with plot twists (mediocre mind you) added in it. In terms of fighting, who doesn't want to see naruto get uber up by controlling his nine tails even more, or watching bruce lee use his mega fist attack. It's entertaining and action packed, not necessarily epic, but getting their.
Shounen - is there any other way to describe cliche shounen than naruto? Main character is weak, main character has some twist about him, main character gets stronger and stronger. Cliche right? but heck, they can mess it up terribly like bleach and have naruto fail again and again and again, getting his ass kicked at the start of every arc.
Comedy - while not too funny as of recent because of the serious tones about naruto's family, who didn't laugh when the bruce lee wannabe kicked the shark guy's ass when he came rushing out of the waterfall? I loved that part!
Bottom line, if I'm in the mood for a cliche shounen, comedy, action sort of manga, i don't mind reading the latest chapter of naruto. It may not be the most epic shounen/comedy/action series out there, but it has the qualities to stand above the average guys.
Lastly, for anyone who STILL doesn't get it. Calling a series good doesn't mean it has to be amazing. It just needs to stand above the average joe, and when you compare naruto to some more obscure mangas, it does that.
I'm sick of restating crap like this to people who just don't get it, peace out

Cause of the fights.
As of now, I could care less about the story.
Same thing with Veritas and Bleach.
Only active shounen story line I care about now is One Piece.

I'm not really sure for me it's cause I have nothing else to read... I only want to see the sasuke vs naruto fight. I skip chapters, I know it's going to be a waste of time for
to read the whole thing so I basically skipped over 20 vol. and went to the most current chapter. (I read most of the stuff on wiki or some other website). I'm not a big fan of naruto but I have nothing else to read right now...
I hear you say "Why?" Always "Why?" You see things; and you say "Why?" But I dream things that never were; and I say "Why not?"

lol there are people who still continue reading even though they claim they don't like it anymore...
For me if i don't like it anymore i would just stop reading. Why would i read something that i don't like ?
there are many manga that i dropped cause i don't like it anymore such as psyren, world embryo. one piece, gantz, tiji-kun actualy there are a lot more manga that i dropped cause i don't like it anymore. cause to me i would rather use those 2 minutes time for fapping than reading manga that i don't like. (and yes i said 2 minutes fapping cause i'm not in denial like you guys, i could say 1 hour but that would make me in denial)

Haha, yeah so true -maybe only REBORN is worse than Air Gear (my opinion). In only understood in Air Gear what happend up to chapter 150 ... and then , there was this one chapter, were ikki kind of went crazy and everyone was against him, and there was a party, like a big sex-orgy .. and then ... well i stopped to understand the manga, though i read it, just jumping the pages takes you 2 - 3 min, maybe even less.
Back to Naruto: I started reading Manga because i wanted to learn some other languages(no its true, i dont like to study grammatics, who the fuck learns the grammatic of a language if he wants to learn a language?) and books were kind of hard to understand (in the mangas you´ve got pictures, and even if you dont know the words you get the gist). i could only speak german and russian, and since then i read manga in french and english ... and well, i think i´m more or less fluent in these now (reading manga since 4 years) , maybe i´ll pick some mangas in portuguese or spanish
Every "Read Online" / "Lecture en ligne" - website is like ... you´ve got the main page, and there were Naruto, OnePiece and Bleach always marked as "HOT" - i think that was the main reason why i picked them up first
i nearly read the whole data-base of onemanga.com (when they were online) , mangafox.com, mangavolume.com and many more (french sites are: anime-story.com, lecture-en-ligne.com, www.jenova-project.com) and believe me, nothing beats Hajime no Ippo or Initial D .. but i think i can only say that, because i did not follow those storys for decades (like other people did), would be a pain in the ass to read one downhill race in initial d ... like, 3-6 months ..

Well, I read it because it's not the worst manga out there. While a crap manga like Bleach was been on free fall since the Arrancar arc, Naruto still has it's moments every now and then. You know, we'll be forced to sit through 2 months of Sasuke being emo once in a while. But then we'll be treated to something pretty entertaining for just as long. While I continue to read Bleach out of a misguided sense of necessity, I continue to read Naruto because there's enough of a balance between good and bad to make it a half decent manga.

I still love it. Some arcs are better than others, but I still find it very enjoyable. IMO, it has been pretty awesome lately.
I don't really understand why you would continue reading it if you hate so much.
C'mon! Get back on your feet!!!

It's kind of funny when some guys here say they don't like the manga but they're still reading because they started a long time ago. If you really don't like it stop reading it and wait for the final chapter (if you want to know how the manga ends)... That's what I did with LOST. I liked the beginning but then it turned out to be a mess, so I waited and watched the final episode. At least, I could save some time and watch other series.

Penn State Football: Nittany Lions Must Rely on Offense for Strong Big 10 SeasonSeptember 7, 2013
The Penn State Nittany Lions had another big win to start their season, and they are going to need to continue playing well on offense if they want to make a run at the Big Ten title.
It was an easy win for Penn State this Saturday. They beat the Eastern Michigan Eagles 45-7 thanks to their offense. Christian Hackenberg, the freshman quarterback out of Palmyra, Virginia, went 23-for-33 with 311 yards, a touchdown and an interception.
A big part of the win for Penn State was the rushing attack.
The team combined for 251 yards and five touchdowns on the day, averaging 6.4 yards per carry. Akeel Lynch and Bill Belton each had 108 yards on the ground and combined for three scores.
The rushing attack looked much better than it did against Syracuse, but Eastern Michigan is a weaker opponent. Still, running for that many yards and being that efficient is a good sign for this offense.
When playing against the Orange, the running game struggled. They averaged just 1.5 yards per carry, and things did not look pretty. Zach Zwinak and Belton will need more games like they this week's in order to give the team some balance on offense.
However, a lot of the success of this offense will depend on Hackenberg.
He was a top-tier recruit coming out of high school, and now he's the starting quarterback as a true freshman. He's the ultimate pocket passer you look for and he has a big arm to go along with that. He has great release and good size for a college QB at 6'4'' and 205 pounds.
As is the problem with most freshmen, Hackenberg will need to work on making the right decisions.
He has three touchdowns on the year and his completion percentage is hovering around 70 percent, but he's also thrown three interceptions in two games. He's young, but the team is relying heavily on him.
It will be interesting to see what this freshman QB can do over the next three games. Penn State will be playing against UCF, Indiana and Kent State. These could be some good games for Hackenberg to get more in-game experience and be prepared for playing Michigan on October 12.
While the defense has looked solid so far, the Nittany Lions are going to need to score points in bunches against these top-tier Big Ten teams. Contenders like Wisconsin and Ohio State have big play potential from a number of starters and can turn almost any game into a blowout very quickly.
The Nittany Lions may not be eligible for a bowl game this year, but that doesn't mean that they will roll over and accept defeat. If this offense can keep playing like it did against Eastern Michigan, then they could ruin some weekends for the Big Ten's top teams.

Shallow Water[CD]
~ Tom Kimmel
Product Notes
'I'm still standing,' says Tom Kimmel, referring to his 30 years in the music world, 'and I'm enjoying making music now more than I ever have before.' Tom and his music have certainly seen some changes. Since 1980, when his songs were recorded by The Byrds' Roger McGuinn & Chris Hillman and The Band's Levon Helm, over 60 of his compositions have been recorded by host of major artists including Linda Ronstadt, Joe Cocker, Johnny Cash, Shawn Colvin, Kathy Mattea, Waylon Jennings, the Stray Cats, Richie Havens and the Spinners. Once an eclectic rock and roller, Tom found his voice as a singer-songwriter while opening Nanci Griffith's 1991-92 world tour. He began performing as a solo act, stressing a lean, acoustic-centered approach to his music, and bringing a poignant and humorous spirit to his poetry and storytelling. His new album, Shallow Water, is a collection of inspirational songs, featuring Kimmel mainstays One Heart, See Myself In You, and the title song. Tom's peers and critics agree that his unadorned stylings are uniquely soulful. Irish songstress Maura O'Connell, who has recorded haunting versions of Tom's The Blue Train and Poetic Justice, says, 'Tom is an incredible songwriter... And he seems to be getting better as the years go on.' Crow Johnson, former ZMN publisher, calls Tom a 'singer's singer, writer's writer.' And according to The Nashville Scene, 'Tom Kimmel's moody textured songwriting reaches into soulful realms that few Music Row pros enter.' Featured in motion pictures such as Runaway Bride, Serendipity, and Twins, and in television shows as varied as Captain Kangaroo, Miami Vice and Touched By An Angel, recordings of Tom's compositions have sold millions of copies around the world, achieving gold and platinum sales in many countries. An avid whitewater enthusiast, Tom recently completed an 18 day, 226 mile kayaking adventure through the Grand Canyon. He has also paddled in the remote Himalayan kingdoms of Bhutan and Nepal, and in the mountains of France, Mexico and Costa Rica. A graduate of the University of Alabama, he was born in Memphis, raised in rural south Alabama, and is now a 25 year resident of Nashville. Along with his artistic endeavors he is a long time student of Siddha Yoga Meditation and is a Practitioner of Alaya Process, a spirit-centered therapy. 'It all keeps me going,' says Tom. 'Keeps me growing. As an artist and as a person, so it keeps it all fresh. Isn't that what we're all aiming for?'

A P.E.I. driver who struck and injured someone on the UPEI campus and drove away was sentenced Friday to four months in jail.
Zachary Richard Evans-Renaud pleaded guilty to the March hit and run in December. The victim suffered cuts and bruises to his back, legs and hips, and his head was badly cut.
Provincial court Judge John Douglas accepted that Evans-Renaud expressed sincere remorse, pleaded guilty, is of good character and unlikely to reoffend. But he also noted Evans-Renaud tried to avoid detection and responsibility by leaving the scene.
Douglas said a custodial sentence is needed for denunciation of the crime.
Renaud-Evans was also ordered to provide a DNA sample.

9/ 365 In a forest of Blades
9/ 365 In a forest of Blades25 Sep 2011 10:45AM Views : 426 Unique : 318
Sitting upon the edge, within a forest of blades, a drop of liquid, so common we take it for granted. Yet without it, life could not be sustained. It is with this I begin my journey and exploration into the liquid realm, through the media of photogrpahy, and in this case with macro photography.

Sundance So Far
The World According To Dick Cheney is a very good, maybe great documentary. It isn't The Fog Of War, but it has an element of that. And it isn't Tyson, but it has an element of that too. If you walk into the movie hating Dick Cheney your feelings aren't going to change. And if you walk in loving him your feelings won't change, either. Because if you love him you already know he lied about certain things and you believe, the way he believes, that he did what was necessary to keep America safe. You feel that way about torture. And if you're like me, and probably like most readers of The Rumpus, which is a literary website after all, then you wonder, Safe from what? He didn't keep us safe from dishonest politicians and becoming a country that tortures prisoners and ignores the law. In the name of protecting America he made America less worth protecting. But you will learn how certain things came to be, and you'll get a portrait of a zealot, and you see what happens when a zealot also possesses extraordinary political skills and comes to power.
And I loved Stoker. But my friend didn't love it and she asked me why I loved it and I couldn't say really. The cinematography of course. This is a movie where the camera is truly one of the performers. The music, by Clint Mansell, a composer I'm obsessed with. But the story is what carries. The tension. You're locked in your seat. And the movie is smart. It's not like a Hollywood thriller, continually talking down to you, telling you how to feel.
And I thought of another friend asking a similar question about Django Unchained. She was asking about the purpose of the movie and wondering about the purpose of the artist, as well. The purpose of the artist is not important to me. I don't believe an artist needs to know why she is driven to create what she creates. And I don't judge art against the character of that artist. The artist rarely enters the experience for me. I believe art happens between the viewer and canvas. If I was deconstructing I could have said Django asked interesting questions about narrative's relation to the darkest part of American history. It was similar, really, to Martin Amis's Koba The Dread, subtitled Laughter And The Twenty Million, an amazing book that poses the question of why it's OK to make jokes about Stalin, but no Hitler. But I don't think I loved Django for that reason. And yet these movies are not just entertainments. Tarantino is commenting on the history of cinema and Park Chan-wook is making movies unlike anything we've seen before. Though Django stayed with me and already Stoker is fading.
I've seen five movies in my three days here and only really enjoyed two of them. I was most disappointed by Before Midnight, because Before Sunset is one of my favorite movies. Ethan Hawke is still amazing. It's almost impossible not to look at his face, even when his shirt is half-tucked in for more than a third of the movie as if it were a fashion statement. But Julie Delpy is terrible. Or her character is. But the actors wrote the movie with Richard Linklater, most of it coming from improvisations. To me Delpy was everything I never want in a relationship. She was an argument against relationships. In Before Sunset she was neurotic, and nagging, but also an artist, full of life. Now she is only neurotic. If you tell her you miss your son who lives with his mom in Chicago she will tell you she's not moving to Chicago. If you try to talk she will scream. She will criticize your writing and assure you you're no Henry Miller, on the page or in the bed. She will work traps, asking what you don't like about her.
Halfway through the movie I whispered to my friend, I would have broken up with her twenty minutes ago. And by broken up I meant, walked out the door. I would have taken a small bag and walked to the road and gotten in someone's car. It would matter that we had twins together, but not enough. I know, from a family friend, that you regret later not fighting for your children. But Hawke was in the fortunate spot of having a son in Chicago and two daughters in Paris; he was going to abandon either the son or the twins no matter what.
I didn't like Don Jon's Addiction, Joseph Gordon Levitt's directorial debut, but it got me thinking about compulsion. All my life I've tried to live the way I'm supposed to live but never known what that is. I can read an article, like The Futile Pursuit Of Happiness (which I read in 2003 and successfully nominated for Best American Non-Required) and attach myself to it like a cult. I was talking to a friend who plays Farmville two hours every night. She had eight farms, she said. She said they were perfect. She wasn't conflicted. She didn't feel like she was wasting time.
I brought it up with C., who was in Park City only for the weekend. I said, porn, sex (of a type), internet, chocolate, smart conversation, indoor climbing sometimes. Snowboarding. Board games, card games. It's a long list. She said, Does it make you happy. And I said, Is that really the question? Drugs make me happy. I haven't done ecstasy in five years, or acid since high school. Does happiness really justify anything? I get how we define addiction. It interrupts our work, hurts our relationships. I was talking on the other side of that. Like Josh Gordon Levitt's character masturbating 11 times a day. Or that movie Shame. Or anorexia. Or the video game industry.
I was talking about meaning. Elusive. Always shifting as what matters to us changes. That's why Sheila Heti's book is called How Should A Person Be. That's what On The Road is about. That's the question Joan Didion raises, and answers, in The White Album. That's the question I raised, and answered, in The Score. It turns out the answers are temporary. That's the beauty of the quintessential line from Hard Rain Falling:
He knew what he wanted. He wanted some money. He wanted a piece of ass. He wanted a big dinner, with all the trimmings. He wanted a bottle of whiskey.
That's why I moved to the mountain in 1997 and I moved to the Mission in 1999. Because I thought it was important to be free and I thought it was important to be close to friends.
Don Jon's Addiction, at its best, and it's rarely at its best, is a movie about change. But change into what? And for how long?
What I'm most excited about at Sundance is the premier of Afternoon Delight directed by Jill Soloway. It seemed like one day she was talking about wanting to make a movie, taking director workshops, and the next day her first movie was opening at Sundance. I'm fond of Jill, she's always trying to help people. And she's funny and a good writer.
And I'm excited for Josh Bearman and Antonia Crane who are supposed to arrive today.
And at some point I'm getting on that mountain and hurtling downward. Maybe today in fact, though it'll mean missing movies I want to see. Can you believe they gave me a press pass for The Rumpus? And I guess here I am, writing about Sundance, so maybe it's not without merit.
Kink opened here the other day. A documentary about Kink.com (very NSFW). James Franco got the idea for it when we were shooting About Cherry in the San Francisco armory. He didn't direct the movie, which I've heard good things about. He's the producer.
There are parties here. Lots of them. Drinks are free. The food is good. People are going all out. The directors are relatively hidden but the producers are everywhere. Some people say it's like Hollywood, if Los Angeles was smaller and you could walk to things. But it's also New York. It's got all the good and bad sides of making movies. What I love is that there is so much to do. It's beautiful, no matter where you stay. It's almost impossible to look out a window and not see a mountain. The busses are free. There are people here who live in San Francisco but we hang out more in Park City. We're all away from our routines, like it's the first day of college.
Postscript: The excessive stimulation can make it hard to connect, as well. Hard to have a meaningful talk while rushing to the next thing. It's exhilarating. You might say, It's good to be alive! and forget why you said it moments later. The challenge of getting into a movie you want to see might be more fun than the movie itself. I happen to be good at getting into places when I want to. For instance, if I want to see a movie I'll ask three or four people for tickets. One of them will always come across an extra ticket. Either they changed their mind about going, or the met someone with an extra ticket. But most people don't do that. They don't have a ticket so they either sit in the wait-list line or go somewhere else. Maybe I lack pride. And maybe there's a link between lacking pride and being resourceful. And can you lack pride but still have integrity? Like most contradictions it helps to have a short memory.

From Principal's Pen
The importance of being a parent,
The change in the relations among parents, teachers and students is a matter for reflection. The present social relation is one of intolerance, aggression and the reluctance to take responsibility of our actions. These traits are inculcated among children and parents are unsure of the cause of this. As someone who has interacted with many generations of students and parents, I would suggest parents to introspect and realize that they are also different from those who raised them. Instead of spending time with their children and ensuring values...

FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF FAITH, Mon, 6/25/2012
Monday, June 25, 2012
MOSES, FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF FAITH, Mon, 6/25/2012
Exodus 6:1-8
THE BLESSINGS OF A REDEEMED PEOPLE, Lesson 7a
The crack of the taskmaster's whip told the whole story. The people of Israel were slaves in Egypt. They had been slaves for 400 years and it looked as though they were going to stay that way forever. Tens of thousands of their forefathers had been born, lived and had died slaves in Egypt. Then, one day, a man named Moses shows up; a man who had been born into one of the poor slave families of Egypt. A slave that had even been adopted into Pharaoh's house, but one who was still the offspring of slaves. One of their own! He came to them telling them stories of meeting the God of their Fathers. Moses claimed to have met God on one of the mountains of Sinai. His stories were of God's love for them and of God's great plans to deliver them from their present bondage.
At the first, it had been exciting for the people of Israel to think that they would be set free, but Pharaoh had not been amused. He had increased their work and had ordered the taskmasters to be more cruel than usual. Most of Israel had come to believe that Moses was just an old fool who was trying to get the people killed. They even shared their feeling with Moses, (Ex. 5:20-21). Moses, in turn, takes their complaint before the Lord. In response, God issues the people of Israel a splendid promise. As you read the Lord's response to His people, you will find there are seven "I will" statements made by the Lord. These are things He intends to do on their behalf. As these promises are considered, it becomes clear that they must have gendered hope in the hearts of the people of God. They were being told all about "The Blessings Of A Redeemed People".
I would like for us to look at those promises ourselves today. While we are not Israel, the promises made to them have application to those who are saved by grace today. So, while God gives me liberty I would like for us to look on the thought, "The Blessings Of A Redeemed People".
The blessings that those who are saved enjoy can be seen in the "I wills" of God. If you are redeemed, these blessings should serve to encourage your heart and should challenge you to a closer walk with the Lord. If you are not saved, I pray they will help you see what you are missing by not coming to Jesus for salvation. Notice with me "The Blessings Of A Redeemed People".
v. 6 THE "I WILL" OF UNCONDITIONAL SALVATION
Saved From The Burden Of Slavery – Israel's cruel slavery in the land of Egypt, (Ex. 5:6-19). God knew all about it and promised deliverance from their burdens. Sin brings with it plenty of baggage. Sin brings with it guilt, conviction of heart, separation from God, it brings entrapment and slavery, ultimately sin brings with it an eternity in Hell. Jesus promised to intervene in the lives of all those who came to Him by faith. He promised that He would set them free from the entanglements of sin and make them a new creature ( 2 Cor. 5:17)! Everything that was against us is now forever taken away and we are free from it ( Col. 2:13-14)! There is no Hell, there is no judgment, and there is no condemnation for those who have come to Jesus by faith! There is only freedom and glory and communion with the Lord God! Sin is gone ( Psalm 103:12; Isa. 38:17; 43:25; Jer. 50:20; Micah 7:19; 1 John 1:7)! Everything changes when you come to Him! This would correspond to the Penalty of Sin being broken!
Saved From The Bondage Of Slavery – Their salvation produced more than mere freedom from their heavy burdens. Their burdens could have been taken away or they could have remained there as slaves in Egypt. God not only changed their situation, He also changed their identification! He broke the bonds that held them and let them go! This is what He also does for every sinner who trusts Him by faith for the soul's salvation. He doesn't just take away the past and the guilt, but He breaks the chains of sin asunder and recreates the sinner in His image, a saint of God! Salvation sets the saved one free, (John 8:36; Rom. 6:6-18)! This is what Jesus said that He came to do anyway, Luke 4:18! We are set free because the King's Son took my place! This would remind us that the Power of Sin has been broken as well!
Saved From The Barrier Of Slavery – God's promise to them is that they will be redeemed (bought back) out of their slavery by the mighty power of God. For Israel, this redemption would take the form of the Passover Lamb, (Ex. 12). That blood marked them as a redeemed people and saved them from the power of the plague that broke the backbone of Egypt and Pharaoh: the death of the first-born. Symbolically, they were purchased back to God by the blood of the lamb and by the power of God. So it is for every person who will be saved in our day. There is but one method available for the saving of your soul! The remedy that sinners need is still be blood of the Lamb, (1 Pet. 1:18-19)! Of course, this Lamb was none other than Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Who died on the cross that we might have life! If you are saved, or if you ever will be, it will come to pass through the blood of Jesus and the power of God, (Eph. 1:9). By the way, nowhere is God's power more clearly visible than in the transforming of the sinner into a saint
Have you experienced the glory of salvation through the blood of Jesus?
" The Lily Of The Valley" By Charles W, Fry (1881)
I have found a friend in Jesus, He's everything to me, He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; The Lily of the Valley, in Him alone I see All I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow He's my comfort, in trouble He's my stay ;He tells me every care on Him to roll.
He's the Lily of the Valley, the Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.
He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne; In temptation He's my strong and mighty tow'r; I have all for Him forsaken, and all my idols torn From my heart and now He keeps me by His pow'r. Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempt me sore, Through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal.
He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here, While I live by faith and do His blessed will; A wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear, From His manna He my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory to see His blessed face, Where rivers of delight shall ever roll.

Am I the only one that feels like TDKR prevents Nolan's trilogy from being perfect?

Re: Am I the only one that feels like TDKR prevents Nolan's trilogy from being perfec
For me it was completely a "safe" movie. I always love on the messageboards how it becomes so personal to people to attack other's posts. "Whoever thinks its safe is kidding themselves'. The question was asked whether anyone feels like tdkr prevents the trilogy from being perfect, which I answered. I could go on like many posters and describe in detail why I feel like the film was a bloated debacle, but what's the point. If some people think that this film was the Second Coming, that's entirely their opinion and nothing I say will change their mind. Same goes for others claims of this movie being ambitious will change my mind. I will say this, and I could be wrong. I dont' remember the other 2 previous films being this fiercly debated on messageboards and met with mixed feelings by critics. The countless threads in this forum speak to the division that this movie has caused. I'm a huge Nolan fan, and a gigantic fan of the first 2 films, so its not about me "wanting to hate" the third film. I was wanting it to succeed more then anyone and in my opinion it didn't.

The Scientist Ranks Pitt #4 in Best Places to Work in Academia 2013
PITTSBURGH—In its August 2013 edition, The Scientist magazine ranked the University of Pittsburgh as the fourth best place to work in academia in the United States, an improvement from number 14 in 2012.
"We are extremely pleased to be recognized as one of the best places to work in academia," said Pitt Provost and Senior Vice Chancellor Patricia E. Beeson. "As an institution, we strive to remember that placing a high value on scientific research means valuing those who conduct it."
The Scientist polled more than 1,200 of its readers who identified as full-time scientists, who rated their organizations in 37 criteria in eight categories: job satisfaction; peers; infrastructure and environment; research resources; pay; management and policies; teaching and mentoring; and tenure and promotion. Pitt scored exceptionally high in both pay and infrastructure and environment, according to the magazine.

A former event manager has opened a delicatessen in the town where she grew up.
Kelly Combes, 32, moved back to Stamford from Leeds a year-and-a-half ago to be closer to her family.
She traded in her former job to open The Stamford Delicatessen in the former Mousetrap shop in High Street.
The business has been trading since the start of the month, offering a range of delicious foods from the Mediterranean, the middle east and Asia, as well as a selection from producers closer to home.
Kelly said: "It's gone very well so far."
The deli has started selling freshly-baked bread on Saturdays and has also joined forces with The Mad Turk restaurant to offer a range of mezze pots.
Loyalty cards are available and gift hampers can be ordered to suit a variety of occasions.
