Cellulite is skin that appears dimpled. It comes more often in women than men, according to the Mayo Clinic. Cellulite normally touches the hips, thighs and buttocks, although it can also seem anywhere on the body where fat is stored. Cellulite, made by the reticular pattern of the cords that connect the skin to the muscle, set flat when there is none fat in the area. When fat has accumulated, it must stretch over the fat to give the muscle, reaching the skin a greater appearance of cellulite.
Start exercising for increased circulation of the lymph and to burn body fat. Several women who lose weight will find that their cellulite evaporate as well. You want to do both cardio and weight developing, 4 to 5 times a week and for at least 30 mins. every time. Jogging, walking, swimming, the crisp and the stairmaster are several good choices. The loss of subcutaneous fat is far better when you use exercise, instead dieting alone, to help you lose weight. There's also a link between exercise frequency and the loss of subcutaneous fat. In other words, the more often you workout, the more hypodermic fat you'll suffer."
Choose healthier foods. Eating a low-fat and low-calorie diet will help small down your figure, including your arms. The more fat in the area, the more noticeable cellulite will look. Eat three meals a day, consisting of elements like whole grains, lean proteins like turkey and black beans, and lots of fruits and vegetables. Take pure fats, like red meat, cheese and sweets, as sparingly as viable.
Seem into non-surgical options. Lately, a discussion named endermologie has get popular. According to the Celluliteexpert.com, "It takes the apply of a floating device with two adjustable rolls and controlled suction, which produces a regular skin-fold." It is FDA approved. Unfortunately, it seems only remove cellulite temporarily, just for now, it appears to be the better non-surgical option out there.
Obviate over-the-counter cellulite creams and other quick fixes. Compression garments and cellulite creams it seem also good to be right, and this is probably because they are. There is none medical evidence that these devices cut the appearance of cellulite.
Be patient. As the fat on your arms releases into muscle, your cellulite leave become smoother and less hard. This process may take months, or even years to completely remove cellulite. Don't be tempted to get liposuction to get rid of the fat more rapidly, as you may be left with lumpier, more dimpled skin than you began with.

As Boulder heads toward a possible moratorium on recreational marijuana businesses until 2014, medical dispensaries are hoping the city won't take too long to decide how it will regulate the retail pot industry.
A majority of City Council members late Tuesday night favored a temporary ban on recreational marijuana businesses until sometime next year to give officials time to incorporate whatever rules the state adopts and to consider what changes Boulder should make to its rules as the pot trade moves away from the medical model.
The council members, saying they don't want to rush into new regulations, asked the city staff to return this spring with a moratorium proposal.
Boulder attorney Jeff Gard, who represents several marijuana businesses, said he appreciates the City Council wanting to take a deeper look at the rules around recreational marijuana. But business owners need to know whether they'll be able to convert from a medical model to a recreational one.
"Businesses need to know if Boulder is in or is Boulder out," Gard said. "That would reassure everyone that the marijuana business will continue even if the medical model becomes a lame duck."
The City Council unanimously adopted two new ordinances — one amending the existing medical marijuana ordinance to comply with Amendment 64 and the other creating a municipal minor in possession charge similar to that for alcohol.
But they passed up an opportunity to vote on draft regulations for recreational pot businesses and instead asked the city staff to craft the moratorium proposal. They could not agree on how long the moratorium should extend.
Amendment 64 gives the state until July 1 to develop regulations and until Oct. 1 to start accepting applications. The state must issue licenses by Jan. 1, 2014.
City Councilman Macon Cowles said most medical marijuana businesses want the city to allow recreational or adult-use marijuana businesses as soon as possible, so they can transition to the new model.
Gard said the business owners he represents have no problem with a delay if it is short. The city's medical marijuana ordinances, which were adopted before the state developed its rules, conflicted on many points and made compliance challenging at times.
The draft ordinance that the City Council discussed Tuesday would keep most of the regulations and licensing requirements developed for the medical marijuana industry.
It would place strict limits on where people could smoke marijuana. Even an enclosed backyard would be considered a public place for purposes of enforcement.
Councilwoman Suzy Ageton said she would expect significant pushback from the community if the city does not allow smoking in private yards.
The ordinance would ban smoking pot in any public place and impose a limit of six plants in a single dwelling unit, regardless of how many adults live there.
Under the medical marijuana model, businesses are limited by the number of registered patients they have. Recreational pot businesses would not have that limit.
Officials proposed creating limits on the size of grow operations and limiting owners to just one facility.
The draft ordinance would set the limit at 500 plants, but dispensary and grow operation managers told the City Council that many medical grows have more than 500 plants now. They said it would make more sense to limit operations by square footage.
Dispensary owners told the council they have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in their businesses, and their main concern is that they have a way to transition to a recreational model without losing that investment.
Resident Sat Nam Singh Bedi said the prospect of drug-related tourism could change Boulder's reputation, while Carolyn Carlat said she's concerned about the community impact of more pot shops and growing operations.
Carlat said she has chemical sensitivity and already cannot live in either of her homes due, in part, to odors from marijuana.
A majority of council members opposed allowing smoking in Amsterdam-style "coffee shops" or pot clubs, but Councilman George Karakehian raised the question of where the pot tourists who are expected to come to Colorado will smoke, if they can't smoke in public, in hotel rooms or in commercial establishments.

This Samsung Galaxy S5 Render is Ugly as Hell
Most of the time, renders of new devices are awe-inspiring, conjuring up adjectives such as sleek, sexy and forward-thinking. A new render Samsung Galaxy S5 render spotted today is quite the opposite. Instead of showcasing innovation, this render causes constipation. Grody!
The new render comes from Dutch website SamsungGalaxyS5.nl, a site which has posted some truly awesome, detailed renders in the past. The render imagines a Galaxy S5 which keeps the plastic Galaxy S4 look but incorporates the Galaxy Note 3's leather stitched back.
It's really the back of the render that is bothersome. The leather doesn't cover the whole back of the device, leaving the plastic case sticking out on the top and bottom of the leather. It looks downright disgusting, and makes the render look cheap and gaudy. And what is up with the white boxes on either side of the camera? One is clearly a flash, but the other is a mystery. If it is supposed to be another flash, it sure doesn't look like it.
Aside from the crappy looking backside, the rest of the render is just ho-hum. It really doesn't deviate much from the Galaxy S4, aside from the updated TouchWiz interface which graces the screen render.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has been all but confirmed for a late March release, and is expected to be packed to the gills with nifty Samsung software features and may come in both plastic and aluminum variants.
Check out the renders below. What do you think of them? What would you like to see in the Galaxy S5? Fire off in the comments.

Le Monde Cafe
Surry Hills is one of those places where it's impossible to not fall in love with...especially when you have a severe addiction to brunching and cosy cafes in general. Le Monde Cafe is another gem that M and I discovered, to our greatest delight and has become one of our favourite brunch spots so far.
One thing I learnt is that timing and weather can play a huge role in the brunching experience as a whole. The day M and I arrived at Le Monde, it was freezing cold with sprinkles of rain here and there. This essentially intensified our hunger and anticipation for what's to come.
Upon stepping into the cafe, we were greeted by friendly staff and a warm cosy atmosphere. The place was buzzing with people despite the small space and we were happy to wait for a few minutes as our coffee orders were taken. It's also become common knowledge amongst cafes that a menu alone will not suffice - a chalkboard of some sort listing tempting and unique specials has become a prerequisite and is expected by us, the customers :P
I know I mentioned it was terribly chilly that day but ordering
Iced Coffee ($6)
has become a custom practice for M and I - after all it can say a lot about a cafe! This one ticked all the right boxes for us - it was nice and creamy but maintained the bitter coffee flavours that I liked and the extra topping of cocoa powder on top provided a sweet finish.
Skim Cappuccino ($3.50)
came nice and hot, and was perfect in all its caffeine glory.
My theory is, if there are no gooey eggs involved, brunch basically didn't happen. The
Potato Rosti with Bacon, Spinach, Feta and Poached Egg, drizzled with Hollandaise Sauce and topped with Pistachio ($16)
was a hearty feast that was also easy on the eyes. The egg was deliciously gooey and all the innards graciously poured over the tasty bacon pieces, potatoes and spinach to produce the ultimate bite. Loved it!
Instead of bacon, you can also opt for smoked salmon.
M ordered the Special for the day which proved to be a very wise choice. The
Pork Belly Sandwich with Roquette, Fried Egg and Chilli Mayonnaise on Brioche Bun ($13)
was heaven. Absolute heaven. The pork belly was ultra succulent and flavoursome which married well with the perfectly fried egg and tasty mayonnaise dressing. The brioche bun also didn't disappoint, having been served hot and deliriously soft. Can you believe this was only $13?
As it was so gloriously good, it deserves a second snap. Look at that egg ooze its juices out of the burger...
As mentioned before, Le Monde was buzzing with people and we can definitely see why!
Overall M and I LOVED our brunch experience at Le Monde and we have listed the place as one of our top 3 favourite spots. Not only does the food taste great, you also really get value for money. So many cafes these days charge ridiculous amounts for eggs and it's just not worth it but Le Monde really gives you bang for your buck. Quality food at an acceptable price!
It's also great how there are so many additional dishes on offer apart from the menu staples, so you really do have a wide range of choices to choose from to satiate your breakfast/brunch/lunch needs. Highly recommend!

Nothing demonstrates this better than the tsunami-like viral success of Alanis Morissette's "My Humps," which surfaced three weeks ago on YouTube and quickly became the most popular video on the channel, attracting 5.5 million views, easily outdistancing such rivals as "Otters Holding Hands" and "Farting in Public."
At first glance, it simply looks like another pass-along parody, a takeoff on the original "My Humps" hit by the Black Eyed Peas. But Morissette's video is armed with a provocative subtext that has people abuzz with debate. It's a fascinating piece of video art, an inspired combination of satire, social criticism and career reinvention that is a signature artifact of today's viral Web culture.
On one level, "My Humps" is a commentary on dim-bulb pop. The Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps," though a huge smash, was widely mocked for its vapid, suggestive lyrics. (Sample: "The boys they wanna sex me, they always standing next to me, always dancing next to me, tryin' a feel my hump, hump.") The video, featuring Fergie, the group's lead singer, was, if possible, even tawdrier. Full of nonstop teasing and thrusting, it's the kind of hip-hop booty porn that would make great torture material for Muslim prisoners at our Guantanamo Bay prison camp.
Dressing herself Fergie-style, with baubles and bling, surrounded by black-clad male dancers, Morissette retained the original's visual sluttiness but replaced the Peas' thumping rhythm track with a pensive solo piano. By removing the intoxicating bass line and clearly enunciating the crass lyrics, she gave the song's sexpot swagger a new tone of sadness and desperation while simultaneously parodying her own artistic tendencies toward self-absorbed angst.
It's a striking performance, functioning as both social criticism and self-criticism. It also has given an instant shot of street cred to Morissette, whose career had slid downhill after her incandescent debut in 1995 with "Jagged Little Pill." Stereotyped as an earnest navel gazer — one blogger recently dismissed her as an "emo-feminist" — she suddenly has fans seeing her through fresh eyes.
As Mark Blankenship put it in his ITotallyHearThat blog, "Remember when I was saying Pink didn't manage to criticize the objectification of female sexuality in 'Stupid Girls' without becoming the very thing she supposedly opposed? Well, Alanis found a way. If that kind of wit, intelligence and humility is in her next album, I'm buying it."
This is what gives YouTube its real power. It is a forum not just for amateur pranks but also for career reinvention. For Morissette, this video — made at her home on digital video for roughly $2,000 — may transform her persona as much as taking a part in "Pulp Fiction" did for John Travolta.
"It absolutely helps her career," says Bob Lefsetz, whose Lefsetz Letter is one of the leading blogs in the music business. "What's so cool is that she did this all by herself. There was no capitalization of it — it wasn't geared to help a new record or movie project. So it gives her credibility. It felt like the old days when Led Zeppelin would come to your town, do a show that blew the roof off and then — they were gone. No one knew how they did it. There was no explanation, no interviews, no nothing."
It's the quintessential definition of mystique: less = more.
Living in today's always-on-duty media culture, it's almost impossible to remember that there was a time — before TMZ, before MTV, before People — when pop culture had an air of ineffable mystery. Today, everything is over-analyzed, endlessly debated and all-too-glibly explained, which essentially reduces even the most thoughtful art to trivia and effluence.
Morissette has followed the model once practiced by Bob Dylan, who in his '60s heyday refused to explicate anything, bobbing and weaving in interviews, baffling the MSM of the day with a fog of evasions, sly jokes and put-ons.
Unlike Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears and Fergie, who can't stop blabbing about their various addictions, pet causes and loser lovers, Morissette has greeted all "My Humps" interview requests with a vow of silence.
According to manager Martin Kirkup, she turned down everyone, including late-night TV chat shows, a Styles reporter from the New York Times who wanted to ask about her fashion choices and someone who wanted to start a music parody website. In an era when everyone talks — even lonelygirl15 went on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno" — her silence has been golden.
As Lefsetz put it: "The less she does, the bigger the story is." By refusing to explain her intent, Morissette invested her clip with an irresistible layer of inscrutability, something that packs extra punch at a time when all too many found objects — even Will Ferrell's "The Landlord" video — turn out to be a marketing come-on for a website or movie project.
According to Kirkup, Morissette has no new album or tour to hawk. As she has remained mum, others have jumped in to stage a healthy debate about whether the sexual antics of today's starlets represent girl power or pathology. It's an issue that goes way beyond Fergie. As Natalie Nichols wrote recently in CityBeat, TV shows like "America's Next Top Model" and "The Pussycat Dolls Present: The Search for the Next Doll" "perpetuate the notion that a woman's hotness is directly related to the amount of 'power' she has. As though the best power women can hope to wield is sexual sway over men."
After "My Humps" appeared, the blogs were full of similar passionate argument.
When the Coterie of Zombies' Howard James Hardima wrote off Morissette's video as a "misguided potshot at confident, powerful sexy female figures everywhere," his post inspired heated response, led by Auros, who wrote: "Confidence and power don't come from trying to get boys to buy you stuff by playing the tease . I believe the common term for that is 'gold digger.' Sexy is a girl who is smart, self-sufficient and couldn't give a fig for whether anyone thinks she's sexy."
Sex, of course, fuels debate everywhere, not just on the Internet. But the Web today is also brimming with a new kind of participatory activism, one that uses video as a tool for social criticism, from pop issues to political ones.
Robert Greenwald, who used to make issue-oriented films and TV movies, is now an Internet pamphleteer, having launched the websites FoxAttacks, which runs critiques on Fox News, and TheRealMcCain, which highlights flip-flops in Sen. John McCain's policy positions. Greenwald says his pieces, posted on YouTube and other sites, have reached 2.4 million viewers without him having to spend a penny of marketing money.
Like Morissette, Greenwald uses video as social critique, with the issues he once addressed in a six-hour miniseries now framed in two-minute commentaries. The shorts have just as much visceral immediacy as Morissette's video, not just because of their eye-catching visuals but because they are passed along — i.e. endorsed — by peers and friends. One of Greenwald's most viewed pieces, "Fox Attacks Black America," has been credited with helping spur the leading three Democratic presidential candidates to pull out of a September debate co-sponsored by Fox News.
"People spread these short pieces around because they want to, not because they're being bankrolled by a giant studio marketing campaign," he says. "Our young staffers can shoot and edit these pieces in three days and have them up for people to see. It's not just user-generated content. When someone watches it and hits the forward button, it's user-distributed too. You're replacing Universal Studios with a peer-to-peer network with the click of a mouse."
Universal Studios isn't going to disappear anytime soon. Nor, sadly, will Fergie and her humps. But the era of video activism is here to stay. Whether you're a political activist or a singer eager to try your hand at social comment, the pop culture playing field has never been more open to ideas than it is today.

Friday, December 7
Free to air
2,5 Eleven, 6.30pm
It's the final episode of the season and Erinsborough's women are emptying their wombs in celebration. Babies are popping out like champagne corks. Vanessa miraculously gives birth to a two-month-old, freshly bathed child. Sonya is not sure whether she wants a baby or a long bath. Given Jarrod expects a jellyfish to slide down the birth canal, you can't fault her indecision. "This is weird," says young Callum.I'm with you mate.
Meanwhile, Christmas is coming and Sheila is tarting up a hatstand with tinsel (I blame budget cuts at Channel Ten). Make Me a Supermodel winner Rhys Uhlich makes an appearance as a coffee table. "Local hottie" Kyle looks longingly at goofy Georgia, who's not even sure what month it is. Special mention in the closing credits goes to "clapper loader" David Cassidy for proving there is life post-The Partridge Family.But what kind of life is this?
Trevor McDonald: Mighty Mississippi
3,5 SBS One, 7.35pm
In the song Ol' Man River, the black dock workers toil while the white folk play and the water keeps rolling along. I wondered what had changed while watching this documentary. There's footage from New Orleans of white girls in debutante dresses in their white mansions on the Mississippi. And black crosses still on houses in the poor suburbs ravaged by hurricane Katrina in 2005, which mark the number of bodies found inside.
Perhaps such contrasts are laid on a bit thick in this series by veteran Trinidadian-British newsman Trevor McDonald, who is travelling the length of the mighty river. The show threatens to lurch into Lonely Planet cliches of black jazz singers, Baptist preachers and alligators (including one with a taste for marshmallows).
McDonald struggles to get the best from his ambitious subject matter, but there's enough colour and movement here to entertain.
Martin Luther King: The Assassination Tapes
5,5 SBS One, 8.35pm
Watching Martin Luther King jnr speak you are struck by his poise and patience. Fires burn around him and the TV news reports that "Negro youths are smashing windows". Yet King never seems shaken, lingering on his vowels like a country preacher: "I've seeeeeen the promised land."
One of the sheer marvels of this program, and there are many, is hearing the civil rights leader preach peace to the Memphis crowds. But this is 1968 and there's blood on the streets. King's final days are captured through a seamless compilation of contemporaneous TV, radio and print reports. We watch him marching in support of striking garbage workers, who were predominantly black and underpaid. We see him walk up the steps of the Lorraine Motel moments before he was shot on the balcony. Striking black-and-white photographs complement the footage, placing King at the eye of a racial storm rocking the nation.
This documentary is a reminder of the power of raw footage that is unmediated by pontificating experts and narrators.
Love Translated
0.5,5 ABC2, 9.30pm
There are, apparently, about 20,000 luckless men in the US and western Europe seeking love in Ukraine. Exactly why they have turned to the Slavic hinterland is never made clear in this program, which is as excruciating as a bad first date. The documentary starts and ends with a middle-aged man in a bad sweater sitting alone in front of his computer. All we learn in the intervening hour is how a good story can be squandered by bad editing, a horrid soundtrack and an inability to understand your protagonists. Bathing in battery acid would be more entertaining.
A sad sack of single men travel to Odessa in pursuit of a fantasy: will-o' -the-wisp women who dress like hookers and play house like ladies. Hearing one loser say "my heart will never leave" Odessa will have you vomiting into your borscht. Lost in translation? Someone shoot the translator.
Three Men in a Boat
(1956) ABC1, 12.30pm
The problem with Jerome J. Jerome's charming and funny novel Three Men and a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog), about three men rowing up the Thames to Oxford, is that it isn't charming and funny enough. One has to keep reminding oneself that
it is a classic and one should be enjoying it more. Ken Annakin's film adaptation unwisely jettisons most of the novel and moves the action forward two decades to Edwardian times. It has a notable cast, led by the underappreciated Laurence Harvey, but the actors are left to bumble around in a plot that aspires to little. Jerome's Arcadian nostalgia trip becomes an abject lesson in how cinema can sometimes get things so terribly wrong.
Fool's Gold
(2008) Channel Nine, 8.30pm
What you don't want to do when excavating treasure from the bottom of the ocean is accidentally scuttle your salvage boat. But Finnegan (Matthew McConaughey) and his Ukrainian mate (Ewen Bremner) are stronger in the passion department than brain power. Which is why Tess (Kate Hudson) has dumped Finn and filed a divorce petition. Not unexpectedly, Finn arrives late for the court proceedings and loses everything, which is a pity because he knows where the fabled Queen's Dowry, lost in a 1715 storm, lies untouched. After the successful pairing of Hudson and McConaughey in How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, it was inevitable they would be teamed again. With dispiriting caution, Hollywood decided on another battle-of-the-sexes comedy. But whereas in Lose a Guy the characters fall in love before the perverse sex-role games begin, here we begin with a divorce, which doesn't allow the actors any chance to convince us their characters once had the hots for each other. However, there are several fine sequences, including the hilarious opening disaster. And, while it takes a while to accept Canadian Donald Sutherland as a millionaire British businessman - his accent is a bizarre version of the one he used as Mr Bennett in 2005's Pride & Prejudice - he is such a commanding actor that he manages to engineer some tender moments with his consumer-mad daughter (Alexis Dziena). There should have been more main-character romance and less slapstick.

Warne's squad boasts the likes of Sri Lankan quick Lasith Malinga and Australians David Hussey, Brad Hodge, Cameron White and Matthew Wade. The Renegades' list includes West Indies batsman Marlon Samuels and Fawad Ahmed, who was recently granted permanent residency in Australia after Islamic extremists forced him to flee Pakistan.

Black Cab Sessions
Studio, 8.30pm
This series is ostensibly all about having musicians perform songs in the back of a London cab. In Philadelphia tonight, though, far too much time is wasted on repetitive talk from non-musicians about how the Rust Belt city's cheap rents and empty warehouses have produced thriving, collaborative indie and hip-hop scenes. The musicians, who only get to perform in short snatches, run the gamuts from folk to hipster folk and from rap to super-ironic hipster rap. Highlights - if indeed the clips are long enough to qualify as such - include Kyp Malone (TV on the Radio) and rapper Freeway. In tonight's second episode the cab heads to New Orleans, where the performers include Byron Bay Bluesfest favourite Trombone Shorty. Black Cab Sessions isn't great but it does provide some starting points for your own YouTube sessions.

NEW MIDDLETOWN, Ohio — The first time Judy Pack felt the earth move, she was asleep in her house in rural Mahoning County, just a few houses from the Pennsylvania state line.
A natural-gas processing plant had recently been built across the street; Hilcorp Energy, a Texas oil company, had started drilling and fracking for gas about 3 miles away.
Judy and her husband, Ralph, had almost become used to the lights blazing from the plant and the trucks rumbling down their usually quiet road. This felt different.
Mrs. Pack awoke; their bed was shaking.
It was about 2:30 a.m. on March 10, and a magnitude 3 earthquake had just rolled through the area. The epicenter of that quake was near one of Hilcorp's wells.
State geologists aren't sure whether Hilcorp's fracking caused the earthquakes, but people who live around the wells say they must be connected.
To pull oil and natural gas from shale, companies drill vertically, then turn 90 degrees into the rock. Then they blast millions of gallons of water, sand and chemicals into the shafts to free trapped oil and gas.
"That has to disturb the ground," Mr. Pack said.
The Packs, like most people who live around them, signed a lease with Hilcorp a few years ago. The lease allows the company to look for and drill for gas on their land.
The company has nearly 3,000 leases in Mahoning County, according to property records. Hilcorp paid landowners an up-front amount for the right to drill on their land and, in most cases, has left the land alone.
The company paid the Packs about $4,600.
"I'm not against this fracking, but use every precaution you can to make it safe," Mr. Pack said. "We've never had an earthquake before."
The state says there were five earthquakes in Mahoning County this month. Geologists, however, say there were 12. They would be among the few earthquakes in the United States linked to fracking.
A series of earthquakes in Mahoning County in 2011 was tied to a fracking-waste-
injection well near Youngstown. That well was shut down by the state.
During the fracking process, fluids bubble back up with the gas. Oil and gas wells also produce saltwater contaminated with metals and radioactive materials trapped underground for millions of years. That waste often is injected into deep wells.
At the time of the first Youngstown earthquakes, there were 177 active waste-injection wells. Now, there are more than 188, and more are being drilled in eastern Ohio. But none is near the most-recent earthquakes, which is why geologists suspect the fracking operations.
Hilcorp has two well pads on property owned by a landfill not far from the Packs' home, said Michael Heher, the landfill's division manager.
After the earthquakes, the state ordered the company to halt its fracking operation there, though one of the wells continues to collect natural gas.
Hilcorp also is part-owner of the Hickory Bend cryogenic processing plant across the street from the Packs' house. The plant, which is not operating yet, will take the mixture that comes out of the fracked shale and separate natural gas from other liquids.
Families who have leased their land to the company could get a cut of the proceeds if Hilcorp drills for gas on their land.
Greg Hohloch, who lives about 1,500 feet from the Hilcorp wells, said that money has helped people in a part of Ohio where steel and manufacturing jobs have disappeared.
In Poland Township, where Hilcorp is drilling and fracking, 7.1 percent of the people live in poverty. In nearby Springfield Township, where the Hickory Bend cryogenic processing plant is located, it's 12 percent.
"The oil and gas industry is a huge boon to this part of the country," Hohloch said.
The Hickory Bend plant created hundreds of jobs for construction workers, and people who owned a lot of land made hundreds of thousands of dollars leasing it to Hilcorp.
Hohloch, who owns 52 acres, said he was paid about $300,000 by the company.
He also said the earthquakes likely are connected to Hilcorp's drilling but added that he doesn't care much.
"You can't even feel them," he said. "It doesn't bother me. Let's get it done."
Not everyone in Mahoning County shares his enthusiasm.
Environmental activists have protested outside wells and at public meetings, voicing worries about water and air pollution and about the radioactive materials that come up with drilling waste.
Anthony Vecchiarelli, one of Hohloch's neighbors, is no activist. He leased the 2 acres he lives on to Hilcorp but said he worries about getting methane in his well water and whether his home-insurance rates will rise if earthquakes continue to shake the area. Hilcorp is drilling less than a mile from his house.
"Those were small little earthquakes," he said of the recent temblors. "What if there is a major earthquake where there is real property damage? Who is going to be responsible?"

Couldn't ask for anything more in a team!! What a great day to be a Rebel!! Regional Champs! #HottyToddy #G2G-- Scott Weathersby (@S_Weathersby40) June 3, 2014
Colby Bortles and Sikes Orvis delivered some big hits, including the go-ahead RBI triple in the 10th, but it was hard to top the heroics of Scott Weathersby.
"He's a good kid, and good things happen to good people," said head coach Mike Bianco of Weathersby. "He's a great teammate. When he goes in the game, there's not one guy on the bench who's not hoping that he's going to have success, and that helps you a lot when you're out there, when people are pulling for you, when teammates are pulling for you, when the fans are pulling for you. He's one of those kids that you hope that your kid grows up to be like."
Weathersby began his day by taking the ball from starter Sam Smith in the fifth and got an inning-ending groundout, stranding runners at first and second. Bortles tied the game in the bottom of the inning, and then the rain and nearly two-hour delay followed in the seventh.
Washington shut down its closer, Troy Rallings, after the delay, but Bianco stayed with Weathersby through the delay.
"If anybody could do it, certainly Scott could do it," Bianco said. "He had only thrown 10 pitches, and he wasn't in the bullpen very long before he came into the game. We asked him how he felt as the delay went on. He was with Josh (Porter), and he put heat on his arm and played catch. It also helped that he was rested."
"It wasn't that bad," Weathersby said. "Josh Porter, our trainer, did an awesome job. He had a heat pad on me. He was with me the whole time, stretching me and talking me through it. It really wasn't that bad."
In his first inning after the delay, Weathersby retired the Washington side in order, including a pair of strikeouts. Washington threatened in the eighth, but he stranded two more runners with a foul out to Will Allen. The Huskies got the game-winning run to second in the ninth, and Weathersby once again got out of it, with a flyout to right, to send the game to extras.
It set up Orvis to be the the regional MVP in the 10th.
Allen drew a two-out walk, which ended the day for Washington reliever Alex Nesbitt, who worked a season-long 3.1 innings, giving up just one run on one hit with two walks and two strikeouts.
Orvis then delivered an RBI triple down the right-field line, aided by a friendly bounce off the wall in the corner, to allow Allen to score from first and give the Rebels a 3-2 lead headed to the bottom of the 10th.
"Coach (Cliff) Godwin told they had a big right-handed guy that was going to come out with fast balls," Orvis said. "I was trying to drive something, try to get the game going. He threw something over the plate, and I kind of rolled over it, but it swept down the line. It couldn't have been a better time for my first triple of the year. I had one last year. Something has to happen for me to get a triple."
With Josh Laxer standing at the ready in the Ole Miss bullpen, it was Weathersby's game. He got a ground out for the first out, then a walk, a fly out for the second out, and then worked a full count before striking out his sixth batter of the game, which tied a career.
It was a career game for the Hattiesburg, Mississippi, native, as he allowed just two hits with two walks in 5.1 scoreless innings. He also extended his scoreless streak to 16 innings, dating back to a scoreless inning of relief on April 30.
"I don't know if I thought I would, but I had always dreamed of it, when you're a little kid coming to these game," said Weathersby of getting the last out of the regional. "I came to the 2009 regional and I saw these guys play, and it was always a dream of mine to play here. To get the last out to win a regional, it's more than I can ask for."
With Louisiana-Lafayette defeating Mississippi State 5-3 to win the Lafayette Regional, Ole Miss will be on the road this weekend against the national No. 6 seed and top-ranked Ragin' Cajuns.
So ends baseball at Swayze Field this season, which provided so many special moments, none more special than Monday's regional championship game.
"I told the players in our meeting that I haven't seen them like this since 2009, in that Monday winner-take-all game when (Drew) Pomeranz struck out the 16 guys against Western Kentucky, where you could feel the fans on the field, you could feel the fans in the dugout, you could feel the energy every time a pitch was made, not just a play or a hit," Bianco said. "Every time, especially the last few innings, you watch Scott (Weathersby), and the fans knew it.
"We're fortunate that we have such a great fan base that cares so much about baseball. We're fortunate we have an administration here at Ole Miss that cares so much about baseball. It's a special place. It's a special place, especially in June."

Police information sharing agency CrimTrac is working to improve the security controls around its national child abuse image-tracking database to be deployed by the middle of this year.
The so-called Child Exploitation Tracking System (CETS) combines data from state and federal law enforcement, following a 2010 trial by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and Queensland Police.
It uses software developed by Microsoft in partnership with the Toronto Police Service's Sex Crimes Unit in Canada.
Data from Australian police will be transported to CETS administrators in Canberra on encrypted physical disks, to be uploaded and stored on CrimTrac infrastructure.
A CrimTrac spokeswoman said the CETS would use equipment from its three-year Information Technology Service Continuity (ITSC) project, which concluded last year.
ITSC established primary and secondary data centre facilities. Between 2008 and 2011, CrimTrac deployed a virtualised mid-range server environment and began leasing data centre space from Canberra Data Centres in Hume.
For the CETS, CrimTrac will replace an unspecified number of routers, improve quality of service, and add "security devices" to the network, the spokeswoman said.
"An enterprise-wide project is underway to improve the maturity and expand on existing technical security controls and capabilities to provide a more robust network separation between systems," she said.
"This will limit and contain protection attacks against the enterprise.
"This project will deliver a security-hardened CETS system including the introduction of additional firewalls which will meet both CrimTrac and [the Defence Signals Directorate's Information Security Manual] requirements."
Earlier this month, Minister for Home Affairs and Minister for Justice Jason Clare committed $4.58 million in federal funding for the CETS.
The system was expected to allow police to quickly process large volumes of seized child exploitation material, metadata, and intelligence information such as virtual identities and IP addresses.
Clare said the system had the ability "to analyse tens of thousands of images in one hour instead of manually examining images over the course of several weeks".
According to CrimTrac's spokeswoman, the CETS would facilitate collaboration and reduce the risk of duplication of work between police agencies.
All agencies' sex crimes squads would have access to the database, she said. However, access would be limited to investigators with "a direct business need" for the information.
In the coming months, CETS administrators will install and upgrade software for processing, identifying and categorising images, and software to create reports for court proceedings.
Later versions of the system could include Microsoft's PhotoDNA image-matching technology, used to identify child exploitation images on Facebook and Bing.

The last day of competition at the London 2012 Equestrian Venue was another successful day for the British; Sophie Christiansen once again demonstrated her domination of 1a with Gold whilst Deborah Criddle and Sophie Wells rode their hearts out for 2 more Silvers. So the final medal haul for the GBR Para-Equestrian team was 5 Gold, 5 Silver, 1 Bronze. More medals than in Hong Kong, same number of Gold; but achieved with less athletes. Will some have wanted a different colour to their medal? Maybe but we have once again shown that GBR sits very at the head of affairs in this sport. It is a first for GBR and I suspect a first for the sport that one Nation won medals in each of the 5 Grades in both the Individual and Freestyle medals: This is what we set out to do and so I feel it is "job well done".
|The Paralympic Equestrian Medal Table
These Games have seen a cataclysmic leap forward for the sport of Para-Equestrian Dressage. 10 Nations won medals and the quality of the horses, athletes and the standard of performances seen was demonstrated by the high marks awarded by the judges; the score that is now needed to win medals is far higher than ever in the past.
I admit that there were a few glasses of happy juice consumed on Tuesday evening but it was still an early start on Wednesday to strip out the stables and pack all the kit in to Sarah's horsebox for the journey back to Bedfordshire and the storage that Sarah kindly provides at home. There are also going to be some very very happy chickens at Sarah's as they are going to have some of the netting seen at many of the venues to provide them with shade and shelter them from the wind & rain; happy chickens.
The horses, most grooms and Rod Fisher were collected by Mark Perry. Mark is a hot contender for the "going beyond the call of duty" award. On Monday he drove up to London......to clean a certain rider's boots...said certain rider being very very superstitious. How dare you doubt me?
Most of the staff departed Wednesday morning although Michelle Tipper has handed in her grooming kit and moved in to the Paralympic Village to help the athletes who will stay in London (enjoying a range of social events, media commitments as well as supporting other sports).
I returned to the hotel, changed and headed up to Russell Square for a meeting with UK Sport to discuss.....the Rio 2016 funding submission. No rest for the wicked! I am home now and all unpacked. ENDEX!
|The Olympic Equestrian Medal Table
An iconic Venue where historic architecture met modern facilities design. An equestrian venue that can be used as a benchmark for future Games and that demonstrated how a predominately "temporary" venue can have the feel of a permanent venue. A venue, that combined with the LOCOG staff, volunteers, military and officials left me very very proud to be British. Add to this the success Team GB and Paralympics GB had means I must now hunt for a different word to that of amazing. I do not think the whole experience has really sunk in. We set out to achieve more medals across more disciplines / grades combined with assisting Greenwich be the "best ever" equestrian venue. I think we achieved that and I hope that we now have a base on which we can build; united, focused and without discord. I fear the last of these hopes will only be party achieved.

In 2007, the city of Arlington, Texas, received both Hazardous Substances and Petroleum Brownfields Assessment Grants totaling $400,000. With a time limit on spending, the city immediately began working with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on the necessary cooperative agreements, quality management and grant work plans to establish its brownfields program.
The EPA grants were the first the city had received and there was a bit of a learning curve involved, resulting in some delay in selecting the final project contractors. During the time that it took to sort out the responsibilities and requirements, the economy began the most severe recession the country has experienced since the Great Depression.
Despite the presence of the new Dallas Cowboys' football stadium, which was opening in mid-2009, interest in property development was at an all-time low. If the city was unable to show evidence of progress in its new brownfields' program, it could lose the grants. Although the outlook was bleak, city leaders implemented an aggressive approach to community outreach to promote their program and turn their hardships into successes.
Arlington leaders established a Brownfields Advisory Committee (BAC) to consider and recommend potential sites and outreach efforts. The committee was finalized in August 2008 and consisted of 14 members representing developers, environmental consultants, a real estate brokers and a few private citizens. BAC suggested the city's brownfields' application and site access agreement forms be posted on Arlington's Website so that interested parties could easily find and submit the forms electronically. The city also updated the site with information about the benefits of participating in the program to spur interest.
BAC also suggested a brownfields flyer, which the city created, that touted the benefits of the brownfields program. The flyer was posted on the site and distributed to:
In addition, the city mailed a postcard detailing the program to nearly 3,000 commercial property owners in the identified grant target areas. That outreach resulted in 25 phone inquiries. Although most of these were just curious callers, two people expressed interest in the program. One later submitted an application that eventually was approved for assessments using grant funds.
Using city departments ─ Economic Development and the Real Estate Division of Public Works & Transportation ─ Arlington employees networked with parties they met with on a regular basis who were interested in property development. Department representatives would alert potential applicants to the benefits of the brownfields program, sometimes combining the assessment grant funding with other incentives to provide a more comprehensive economic development package.
Arlington went beyond just letting potential developers know about the program; the city created an inventory of brownfields sites. The city partnered with the University of Texas at Arlington for the initial inventory research before turning the project over to Terracon Consultants, Inc. The inventory, which included candidate sites based on current and historical uses of the properties, is maintained within a Web-based interactive database tied to the city's Geographic Information System, the local taxing district's Website and a database of current properties for sale that is updated through the Economic Development Department. Following completion of this resource, the city printed nearly 1,000 brochures that were sent to the property owners of potential brownfields sites identified in the database.
Finally, the city and its consultant conducted a brownfields workshop, focusing on the use of the Petroleum Assessment Grant funds. The Community Development & Planning and Economic Development departments created a list of developers and real estate companies that work with the city and invited them as well as BAC members and property owners of potentially eligible petroleum sites identified in the brownfields inventory to attend. The workshop provided an opportunity to explain the program, describe eligibility in detail and dispel any myths related to the use of grant funds.
Despite the delayed start and economic challenges, Arlington has completed 23 Phase I environmental site assessments (ESAs), with four additional Phase I ESAs currently in progress. This included 15 Phase I ESAs on sites qualified under the Hazardous Substances Grant and 12 Phase I ESAs (eight completed and four pending) on Petroleum Grant sites. The city also completed 15 Phase II ESAs, with an additional six Phase II ESAs pending. A total of seven Phase III ESAs were accomplished with four additional Phase III ESAs either pending or in progress. Arlington also has brought another consultant on board (Stainback Public/Private Real Estate) to assist with redevelopment planning for high-priority sites. Two redevelopment analyses have been finished with three more in progress. In less than two years, the city has spent the majority of the Hazardous Substance Grant funds, with the remaining funds earmarked for projects in progress or pending. Additionally, following the brownfields workshop, a new site was entered into the Petroleum Assessment Grant Program that allowed the remaining petroleum funds to be earmarked with five months left in the funding cycle.
With its current grant cycle ending in September, Arlington applied for two new grants late last year with a goal of seamlessly continuing the program for another three years. The city earned new Petroleum and Hazardous Substances Assessment Grants that will begin in October. Arlington will be able to ensure the continued achievements of its brownfields program and the ongoing revitalization of the city.

Culture, With a Splash of Cocktails
Museums throughout Manhattan have found that their collections look even better when drinks and music are mixed in. Here are the five best museum parties in New York City.
Museum of the City of New York
Now in its second year, the Speakeasy at 1220 Fifth Avenue is a series of Wednesday-night cocktail parties held on a Georgian-revival terrace overlooking Fifth Avenue and Central Park. As one might expect from a museum that specializes in the history of the city, the Speakeasy holds assiduously to a 1920s theme. Music ranges from the Charleston to the blues, and drinks are Prohibition-era specials like manhattans, sidecars, and Bronx cocktails. A handful of regulars even come decked out in Roaring Twenties garb: flapper dresses for the women and knickers, argyle socks, and newsboy caps for the men. Bonus perk: All exhibitions are open during the event, including this summer's hit, "Cars, Culture, and the City." 1220 5th Ave. at 103rd St.,mcny.org, admission $15 (includes your first cocktail), drinks from $9, Wednesdays June 30–Aug. 18, 6 p.m.–9 p.m.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Met has been throwing Friday- and Saturday-evening rooftop parties for years, but this season it has raised the bar. To ornament the martini bar in the rooftop garden, which overlooks Central Park, curators brought in "Doug & Mike Starn on the Roof: Big Bambú," an installation that will expand throughout the summer until it is composed of 5,000 bamboo poles lashed together by 50 miles of nylon rope. Take it all in while sipping a Big Bambú ($12), made with vodka, oolong tea, and ginger syrup. 1000 5th Ave. at 82nd St., metmuseum.org, Fridays and Saturdays through Oct. 31, bar open approximately 5:30 p.m.–8:30 p.m., suggested admission $20 (for museum entry).
The Museum of Modern Art
For a museum where Warhol sits in the same room with Brancusi, MoMA's PopRally is a fittingly eclectic party. Held year-round approximately every six weeks, the event has rotating themes (in the past it's been Tim Burton, skateboarding, dance), with music performed live or by a DJ. Guests are encouraged to dress up at some of the PopRallys: In summer '09, many showed up wearing costumes for a screening of The Last Days of Disco. The only downside to the party is that museum access is limited to a couple of relevant exhibits. 11 W. 53rd St., (some events are held at its affiliate P.S.1 in Long Island City, Queens) sign up to receive event notices at moma.org/poprally, dates vary, hours have ranged from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., admission, $8–15, adults 21 and older only.
American Museum of Natural History
Art is nice, but if partying in a planetarium is more your thing, One Step Beyond is the place. Held within AMNH's Rose Center for Earth and Space, One Step Beyond draws some 1,000 guests who come to drink, dance, and listen to top-flight musicians like Moby and Kanye West. In a separate wing, visitors can take a time-out to catch a space show; the current feature, The Search for Life: Are We Alone?, is narrated by Harrison Ford. On pause this summer, the party resumes one Friday per month during fall, winter, and spring. Central Park West at 79th St., amnh.org, dates vary, hours are typically 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. (check online for updated schedule),admission $25 (includes a voucher for a return visit to the museum), ages 21 and older only.
Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum
Sophistication is the name of the game at Cocktails@Cooper-Hewitt, a weekly party in the museum's garden, the largest private green space in Manhattan. Jazz is the preferred soundtrack, views are of Central Park, and this summer's parties are themed to the museum's ongoing National Design Triennial—"Why Design Now?"—open during the event. Expect up to 800 visitors over the course of each night, ranging from Upper East Siders to downtown designers.2 E. 91st St.,cooperhewitt.org, Fridays, July 9–Aug. 13, hours are typically 6 p.m.-9 p.m., admission $15 (for museum entry).

When the Founder of Access Consciousness, Gary Douglas, was asked, "What made these body processes so different?" he replied, "People kept coming back for more body-work because whenever we worked on their body, other areas of their life also changed."
An Access Consciousness Body Process is a hands-on method that uses different hand placements on various positions on the body and then asking specific energies to run at each spot. These processes facilitate the body back into its original functions, which assist with the repairing and longevity of the body. The energies are the natural energies that bodies are and have access to from everywhere in the universe.
These body processes were discovered by Access Consciousness Founder Gary Douglas and Dr. Dain Heer. Visit the main website to find out all about Access Consciousness and it's founder, Gary Douglas or Dr. Dain Heer.
The energies will assist your body back to its original functioning, which will therefore assist your body in repairing damage that it has sustained whether environmental or through injury.
The benefits are numerous and are still being discovered. The majority of people have said that they feel a sense of well being, more ease with their body and recover from ailments quicker.
Everyone experiences energy different. Some people have said when the energy runs they experience warmth or a tingling sensation or a sense of calm and ease in their body. And for some it takes a while to feel anything at all. The good news is you don't have to feel anything for it to work. It just works.

We recently had our master bathroom remodeled - I was going for a calming, outdoorsy, spa feel. I've admired Alexis Birkhill's Moon over Mount Baker for years (it's my desktop background) and wished I could get it in a large print to hang in my house. I don't know how I found Fine Art America, but they offered a 3' x 2' print in a variety of options. I chose the aluminum because it's hanging in a bathroom next to a soaker tub. An archway was built around it to make it stand out even more (photo attached). Much as I love my new bathroom, Moon over Mount Baker ties the room together, as The Dude would say. Thank you for your part in making my dream spa bath a reality!

This is a beautiful print. Unfortunately mine arrived with a small dimple in the metal that caused an orb of light to be reflected around it. It is one of those things that you can't unsee and makes it impossible to enjoy the print. Fineartamerica has stated that they will send me a new one ASAP and I am looking forward to receiving it. The picture is bright and beautiful. I have my fingers crossed that the new one arrives unscathed. I was very impressed with the way the print was packaged and had no reason to suspect that there would be anything wrong with the print. The dimple in the print was very small, and I don't personally believe it was a result of handling as it did seem to be a dimple and not a dent. I wouldn't hesitate to order from Fineartamerica in the future and am already considering other prints.

Love my Soosh print! I adore this print. It makes me think of my very loved granddaughter who refuses to sleep in her own bed and takes up most of my king size bed with her little 3 year old body. I cling to the edge of my bed every time she visits. I am considering buying another Soosh print. I love how her work says so much while being so understated. I am also very impressed with how Fineartamerica packages their prints.

|New research finds that an adjustment to wind turbines could allow bats and wind power generation to better co-exist. Writing in in the Journal of Wildlife Management, biologists report that that slowing turbine blades to near motionless in low-wind periods significantly reduces the number of bat deaths. The researchers said that since few bats fly during the higher wind-speed periods of most interest to energy producers, the blades could be slowed during low wind-speed times when more bats are aloft at relatively low cost to power production. We'll talk about the report and the challenge of integrating wind power into the environment.

The popular task management app Any.DO has just been updated to support a new feature called Any.DO Moment which makes it easier than ever to plan your day. Each morning, you'll be asked to take a moment to plan your day. Any.DO Moment will then go through the tasks you have set for today and let you choose what you'd like to do with them. Any.DO then updates itself accordingly.
Upon launching Any.DO Moment, you'll be presented with tasks one task at a time and you have a few options. You can keep them on your list for today, move them to tomorrow, mark them as done, or delete them. If you choose to keep them on today, you can then choose a time increment such as morning, afternoon, evening, or custom. Moving them to tomorrow or later gives you more specified time increments to choose from as well.
Anyone can add tasks to a list but that doesn't always mean they'll get done. Any.DO Moment aims to change that by letting you concentrate more on the things that are important right now and moving the rest to a future date. This was easy enough under the regular Any.DO system but the Moment feature actually makes planning your day painless and quite enjoyable. Once you've run through Any.DO Moment for the day, you'll notice that your lists in Any.DO are now updated to reflect what you've chosen for each task with Any.DO Moment.
You can access Any.DO Moment at any time from the Settings menu. Any.DO will ask you each morning to take a moment to plan your day as long as you have notifications enabled. If you later decide that you need to make some changes, you can either do them manually by shuffling around your task list or you can launch Any.DO Moment again and move things accordingly.
The concept is intriguing and if you have a nasty habit of forgetting to check your task lists, Any.DO Moment may be the perfect solution.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
This article first appeared in the March issue of Israel Today Magazine.
Christians in the West Bank city of Jenin have a message for believers in the West. It is simple and clear. And it includes an addendum specifically for Christian Zionists and Jews who claim Jesus as Messiah.
Pastor Steven Khoury invited me to join him on the visit to Jenin, to touch base with believers there. Khoury is pastor of East Jerusalem's Calvary Baptist Church and vice president of Holy Land Missions based in Bethlehem. Last year he made first contact with followers of Jesus living in the heart of Samaria. Jenin, he informed me, is a well-known base for anti-Israel endeavors. The city and its refugee camp remain a place where tourists do not venture. Nor should they.
Upon arrival, we begin our circuit of meetings with Arab Christians in their homes. They are taxi drivers, nurses, kindergarten teachers, young men working for the PA police. Unlike Khoury, an Evangelical Christian, all of them are Roman Catholic.
Jenin is, my host informs me, home to "five hundred, maybe seven hundred Christians. Twenty years ago, there were less than 10. See how much we have grown? Still, most Christians move away if they can."
Jarringly out of place in a culture that is less than encouraging to Christian faith, these people, especially parents, feel utterly alone, unknown, if not abandoned, by all Christians elsewhere in the world. Khoury and his staff are the first and only Christians to make an effort to be here, to listen, to teach, to care. I see this and I fear.
If Khoury is not able to continue his outreach, how easily these Christians could be, will be, drawn into the Palestinian Liberation Theology (an offshoot of Replacement Theology) that drives so much anti-Israel antagonism both here and abroad. Will those of us who advocate the integrity of Jewish Scriptures, including the Jewishness of our Messiah, passively permit such recruitment?
I suspect we will.
The believers of Jenin wear crosses, go to confession, pray to saints, and venerate Mary. The prism of their faith is an ancient anti-Jewish tradition established in Nicaea seventeen hundred years ago. Can such faith be genuine, so devoid of grounding in Judeo Scriptures? Although I will not say so, I am skeptical. The severance of this olive branch from the vine of its Jewishness seems too severe.
Later we arrive at the home of Abu Lias, the "attorney of Jenin." Abu Lias has gravitas. His successful law practice includes cases argued in courtrooms that hold Islamic law in highest regard. Known to be a Christian, he is nonetheless respected.
Sitting in his living room with family members and honored guests seated in a circle, I put the question to him. What then do you, a Christian attorney in Jenin, say to Christians in the West? What is your message to them? I expect the plea, "Remember us." But that is not his answer.
"My message to Christians in America," he replies, "is that they get back to their Christian roots, that they return to Christ. There is no other hope or health, wealth or power that matters in this world."
That should have shut me up. But once again I press him. And what especially would you say to Christian Zionists and Jewish believers? He replies:
"If you are really believers in Christ, in your heart and not for the sake of political or financial gain, then stand with your fellow believers who are suffering in the Holy Land. When someone says, 'I believe in Jesus as my Savior,' that should link us all. Are we not a part of you? Are you not a part of us? My message then is this: in all your passion, pursue justice for us, your brothers and sisters in Christ."
