Uber is not the shining paradigm of public relations. From its start, the company has been accused of aggressive tactics to gain business, from disregarding government regulations, predatory surge pricing, and poor treatment of driver's complaints, to upsets caused by the CEO himself, Travis Kalanick.
The scandals have been piling. In 2014, the business was labeled as a brash startup and disruptive, adopting an expand-now, negotiate-later approach. They ran into problems when Portland, Oregon accused it of operating illegally. The New York Times reported that in December 2014, "despite protests from the mayor and the commissioner of the city's transportation bureau," Uber started offering services in Portland. Portland sued Uber in retaliation, claiming it was operating an "illegal, unregulated transportation service." The city's main issue with Uber, besides its disregard of their requests, is that it doesn't follow rules on public health and safety that taxicab companies do. The city's cabs pass an "annual vehicle test and are subject to a fare cap" and "20 percent of the permitted fleet must be equipped for people who need wheelchairs." Uber widely broadcasted its defiance, even starting a petition against the city in support of itself. Uber has faced lawsuits in other cities as well, such as Washington, D.C., New York City, San Francisco, and Las Vegas. It has not done well to gain the acceptance of other taxicab companies in cities.
Uber has also faced criticisms of its "predatory surge pricing." In order to encourage more drivers to work for it, the company employs "surge pricing," which raises fares during times of peak demand or short supply. During a snowstorm in New York City in 2013, rates tripled. "Surge pricing only kicks in in order to maximize the number of trips that happen and therefore reduce the number of people that are stranded," Kalanick told WIRED. Vivek Wadhwa, an academic and columnist who writes frequently about the tech industry and inequality, took to Twitter to complain when "he found that an Uber ride from San Francisco International Airport to his home in Menlo Park would have cost nearly three times the usual rate," says WIRED, even though it was just drizzling. The regular cab he took instead cost about $90, including a $10 tip. Another women was outraged that 12-mile ride home that normally cost her around $30 to $40 was now over nine times the average fare at $360.
Customers and cities aren't the only ones to complain about Uber; it's drivers do too. In 2014, there was a large strike of over 1,000 Uber drivers in New York City. Rather than being treated like partners and receiving better pay, as they were originally promised, they faced "rate cuts, mandatory fares, and underhanded corporate tactics," according to BuzzFeed. The drivers argue that by "undercutting the costs of taxis and other car services, Uber is trying to monopolize the industry," and if they do drivers would be stuck with "sub-taxi fares and no tips." A recent protest also happened in November 2016. Uber drivers joined the "Fight For $15" with cashiers, hospital workers, fast food workers, and others in the strike action. Newsweek stated, "Uber drivers are expected to leave their cars sitting idle in high-profile locations, such as airports."
And then another problem is Uber's very own CEO, Travis Kalanick. He is known for his brash language and decisions, but a recent event caused even him to release a public apology. A video surfaced of Kalanick arguing and cursing at one of his own workers as he got a ride from him. It occurred in the car of Uber driver Fawzi Kamel, who turned the footage into Bloomberg. When Kalanick entered his car, Kamel took the opportunity to ask the CEO about falling fares. The conversation resulted in Kalanick saying, "You know what? Some people don't like to take responsibility for their own s***. They blame everything in their life on somebody else. Good luck!" Kamel told NBC why he stood up to Kalanick: "'Uber kept dropping prices every season to gain more ridership to satisfy their growth, and it didn't matter to Uber if the driver is not even making minimum wage,' he said. 'And the worst part is, they call us partners, [but] they make the rules, set the price and they even choose the cars you can use.'" Once the footage went viral, Kalanick issued an apology where he stated, "It's clear this video is a reflection of me—and the criticism we've received is a stark reminder that I must fundamentally change as a leader and grow up. This is the first time I've been willing to admit that I need leadership help and I intend to get it." He gave a "profound apology" to Kamel, the driver and rider community, and the Uber team.
While it is unclear what "leadership help" he intends to pursue, it is clear from the string of lawsuits, complaints, and protests that he could certainly use some assistance in brand and image management. An "expand-now, negotiate-later" approach assumes there will be a "later," and if most bridges have been burned, there may not be. Alienating cities and traditional taxicabs extinguishes any possible support from institutions that have existed long before Uber. And unhappy drivers causes a slew of problems, from unmotivated workers to unsatisfied customers. Kalanick needs to consider where his tactics and actions will get him in the long run and what kind of image he wants his company to have. A crisis manger might not be a bad idea, either.

We may have just found the most dramatic Instagam photo of the season.
As The Bachelorette's JoJo Fletcher continues the search for her perfect man, former contestant Chad Johnson appears to be moving on with someone new.
This season's villain got Bachelor Nation talking when he shared a photo of himself kissing Hope Higginbotham. While some may look at the post on their newsfeed and think it's just your standard PDA picture, fans know that it's so much more.
As it turns out, Hope used to date Chad's co-star Robby Hayes. And no, they weren't exactly best bros this season.
"While traveling this weekend, our paths crossed and I finally had the opportunity to meet Hope Higginbotham in person. Let me just say, she is even more beautiful in person!" he wrote. "A great girl like her deserves so much better than someone who lies, cheats, and ends a four year long relationship in order to pursue fame on a tv show. You're amazing, I miss you already @hopealverta."

I'm always on the hunt for new haircare, whenever the current products I'm using are empty, I'm trying to find something new to try. I have quite dry damaged hair, I don't cut it very often at all and the ends are in really bad condition, however my roots get very oily and the contrast between roots and tips is at different ends of the spectrum.
The Bee Strong range is targeted at damaged hair. The formula contains honey and apricot extracts which work to repair the protective outer layer of each strand of hair to leave it silky and strong. The range hosts a shampoo and conditioner, deep treatment masque and a leave in conditioning spray. I have long hair, very damaged and dry at the ends and the roots get oily. I have to wash my hair everyday as it's very flat and I put through a gruelling blow dry and rollers. They roped in the ever so beautiful Nicole Scherzinger to promote the new range, I'm sure you've seen the advert. Strangely I don't think anything will ever make my hair as perfect as hers, sigh.
After shampooing and conditioning my barnet, I then towel dried it added some heat defence spray and then spritzed some of the leave in spray onto my hands and then ran the product through my hair. The texture surprised me as it's more a of creamy consistency as opposed to an oil or serum. Once I week I used the deep treatment instead of the regular conditioner for 15 minutes whilst in the bath. Then I blow dried and set my rollers.
I'm in love with Bee Strong. First of all it smells incredible, it's one of those products that smell so good your whole bathroom smells incredible even after you've gotten out of the shower. I expected the conditioners and treatment to be really heavy as it's targeted at damaged hair, however it was surprisingly light yet nourishing at the same time and left my hair soft yet thoroughly cleansed. I found the bottles lasted me a good few weeks which is also a bonus. I found the leave in spray a real gem at softening my frizzy dry ends and worked much better than any other I'd used before. The shampoo and conditioner were perfect, the right balance between too heavy or too clarifying. The deep treatment masque was great too, the formula was super thick and creamy and applied well onto the hair, it's good to go in a few minutes or you can leave it on for longer to achieve super soft locks.
Overall I'm really impressed and I've actually repurchased since. I love the way it leaves my hair, although it's not perfect, it's a firm favourite of mine now. The range retails between £3.89 and £4.79 so cheap as chips!

Jazz Jennings: Why Trump's Presidency Has United Trans Youth More Than Ever
It's been two years since Jazz Jennings and her family made their private life public on TLC's award-winning I Am Jazz—a reality series documenting the life of a teenage girl who just happened to be transgender. Two years isn't that long ago, but Jazz and her family slept a little more soundly at night then, knowing there was an advocate for them in the White House.
And on November 8, 2016? "I felt like we didn't have that security and confidence to move forward strongly," Jazz confides during a visit to the Glamour offices in Los Angeles. "It was just kind of…we were shaken up."
Shaken, yes, but not deterred. At 16 years old, Jazz is wise beyond her years, and knows that the fight for LGBTQ rights goes far beyond 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. "We will be able to make progress," she insists. "We know now more than ever that we have to stay strong and stay united."
Part of that progress comes from her ability to tell her personal story to millions of viewers, many of whom still don't have a solid understanding of what life is like for transgender young people. By opening up her everyday life—along with her ever-present fears and triumphs—Jazz hopes to educate viewers. This season of I Am Jazz (featuring a two-night premiere on June 27 and 28 on TLC) is no different, with Jazz facing perhaps the biggest test of all: gender confirmation surgery.
"The overall message is me transitioning from being a girl to being a woman, and that comes with many different challenges. I go on different dates, I have my Sweet 16 party, and we explore the gender confirmation surgery. All these steps to become the person I've always wanted to be."
In case you haven't noticed, she's well on her way. Read on.
Glamour: The general public seems to have a better understanding of what it means to be transgender in 2017, but we're also having to fight for basic human rights now more than ever. What's your take, given our current political climate?
Jazz Jennings: I think with this new administration, a lot of people feel more enabled to spread hate. There's an abundance of new haters who feel more confident in stating their opinion because [of certain elected officials]. It's really frustrating seeing that so many people are ignorant and don't really understand what it means to be transgender. I feel like they've heard about it, but they don't really [understand]. One person said, 'I don't care what you feel on the inside; If you're biologically male, you're male.' I just don't understand why people look at it from that perspective.
Glamour: Let's go back to election night. How difficult was that evening for you?
JJ: It was definitely a tough day. It's almost like everyone was gloomy the next day. It felt like our country was completely thrown upside down and we didn't know what we were in for at all. It was upsetting because I wasn't sure what Trump was going to do. He had said before that he would allow Caitlyn Jenner to use the female restroom, but you never know with him because he's so unpredictable. So it was just a scary feeling.
Glamour: What did you worry most about that day?
JJ: I wasn't thinking that much about myself; I was thinking more about my community. I wanted everyone to feel safe, to feel loved, to feel respected and treated equally. I felt like we didn't have that security and confidence to move forward strongly. It was just kind of…we were shaken up.
Glamour: And seven months later, how are you feeling? Are you more scared? The same? Hopeful, even?
JJ: I'm definitely hopeful. I was hopeful from the beginning, even though [Trump] rescinded Obama's directive, which was definitely a terrible thing that he did to transgender youth. [However] I still feel like we will be able to make progress. In a way it has unified our community. We know now more than ever that we have to stay strong and stay united, and this motivates us to make our voices heard, and speak out and march together. I feel like that's where that hope comes from.
Glamour: When it comes to LGBTQ rights, what are people missing the point on when it comes to bathroom laws?
J: I think people are afraid of what they don't know or understand, and I really think these people have never met a transgender person before. I think they make the assumption that all transgender people are just men wearing dresses. But that's not who we are at all. Plus, what does physical appearance have to do with who someone is on the inside? I've been told that I'm a sexual predator and I'm going to rape someone in the bathroom and it's like, 'What?!' I think it would jeopardize my safety if I had to use the men's restroom, so I just really don't understand this flip-flop point of view.
Glamour: Have you ever not been able to use the women's restroom?
JJ: Growing up I did. Throughout elementary school, I wasn't allowed to use the girls' restroom for five years. Basically, in the classroom there was a gender-neutral bathroom, but when we went to lunch and P.E. and art, I wasn't allowed to use the girls' bathroom. I was allowed to use the nurse's bathroom, which kind of isolated me and separated me from the other kids and made me feel different. Kids were vomiting and sick in the nurse's bathroom, so I really didn't want to use it. I would pee in my pants almost every single day because I would be holding it in and didn't want to go to the bathroom. One day I actually snuck into the girls' bathroom—I got caught by the school librarian and I got in trouble. They threatened to call home and take me to the principal's office. It was terrible, and one of the first times I realized discrimination is present and I'm being treated differently for being transgender. I always considered myself to be like everyone else because I am like everyone else, but they didn't make me feel that way.
Glamour: And how long did this go on?
JJ: Until fifth grade. I was 11. I was 8 when I got caught. I was 10 or 11 when I was allowed to use the girls' restroom again. They don't have that problem at that school anymore, but those were the times. Now, throughout middle school and high school I've been able to use the girls' bathroom.
Jeanette Jennings (Jazz's mom): She has suffered far more than a lot of the kids today because they either get homeschooled or they're suing or all this kind of stuff. We didn't want to sue [when she was in elementary school] because we were just happy they let her go to school. We were already battling [inclusion in the soccer team]. So we picked our battles. She was a little child going through this and suffering. There are still schools that do this to these kids and make them use the nurse's bathroom. It's worse now because of the rollback. This is why we needed those protections.
JJ: We live in a very progressive county, so there are a lot of protections in place for transgender students. But a lot of different districts don't have laws from the school board, and therefore schools can basically dictate which bathrooms the kids use.
Glamour: Going through something like that can be debilitating. What made you say no, I'm going to keep fighting and will not pretend this will go away?
JJ: As a kid, I was always so positive and confident and strong and just kept moving forward. Honestly, after I snuck into the girls' bathroom, I kept doing it. I would always do it. I was just more careful the next time.
Glamour: How are you being proactive to help transgender youth now?
JJ: I definitely think it's more important for our voices to be heard now more than ever because of this change in our government. The more we get our message [out there], the more people will [hopefully] become educated and realize we're people, too. I've been busy with school and stuff, but I definitely feel like it's time for us to take a stand and show that we deserve to be treated equally.
Glamour: How can people educate themselves about trans people and transgender rights?
JJ: There are so many different online resources. GLAAD has so much information and outlets about LGBTQ people, and some of the issues we face and who we are. HRC—Human Rights Campaign, the Trevor Project, etc. It's so easy to find this information. And whether you listen to my story or someone else's, there are so many people sharing their stories and it's easy to access that.
Glamour: What advice would you give to young people trying to navigate this politically charged climate?
JJ: The first thing is to find a great support system. If you don't have the love and support of your family, you need to find someone out there who you can confide in and share your concerns and worries with. And someone who can lift your spirits and make you feel valuable and strong and powerful. I want them to also know that they have an entire community supporting them. We are all fighting for our rights and their rights to get these protections for the schools and the bathrooms, and we're on the right side of history. One day, there are going to be no more laws that prohibit us from doing what we should be able to do.
Glamour: You've always said, 'It's not what's between your legs; it's what's between your ears.' But this season you will explore sex reassignment surgery.
JJ: Yeah. I definitely think it's important to share my process when it comes to the bottom surgery, because that information really isn't out there. I don't think anyone has seen a transgender teenager go through this and the steps they have to take…the consultations, the problems, the complications, and some of the recovery after the surgery. There's so many different steps. And I feel like it's really interesting and once that information is out there, people will stop asking [as many] questions. This is the education that needs to be present.
Glamour: How much will we see of that on this season?
JJ: You'll get to hear a lot. I learned a lot, so if I learned a lot, I feel like everyone's going to learn a lot! We talk about some pretty deep stuff—viewer discretion is advised! It's there! [Laughs] So you know we're going to get into the nitty-gritty with that. And we want our show to educate and help people learn.
Glamour: What do you know now that you didn't know a few years ago when you were starting the show?
JJ: I know we have a whole community of people supporting us. It's overwhelming, but incredible to know people appreciate [what I'm sharing]. We should continue sharing our story even if it's hard sometimes, because it really does positively affect others and change lives. With that mind-set, I wish I could go into the show knowing how much it would help other people. It changes things up and shifts my perspective. And I also know how to do confessionals better—the couch interviews! [Laughs] The first season that was not fun! Now I've gotten better.

Reviews & Questions
I have owned the lock for 3+ months the alarm system malfunctioned a week ago so now its just a simple disc lock.
But the problem is not this, the alarm would NOT go off after its been activated for over 24 hours which is a major flaw.
The alarm goes off without having actually locked it with the key or pressed the button.This makes it annoying to carry on the bike while riding.
The alarm could be louder.
Like i said Oxford is an excellent company but this product is just flawed and may put peoples property at risk.

Tom Hanks welcomes himself into Julia Roberts car in the first clip for Larry Crowne
I don't need more cowbell, I need more Tom Hanks. If he's signed up for something I automatically want to see it, even though I wasn't terribly thrilled by the DA VINCI CODE series.
I want more of the comedic Tom Hanks. While the "Toddlers & Tiaras" skit on Jimmy Kimmel was way more hilarious, there's something funny about Hanks imposing on Julia Roberts' personal space. In this clip for LARRY CROWNE (which premiered on Kimmel's show), you'll get to see Hanks show Roberts his GPS skills.
"Until he was downsized, affable, amiable Larry Crowne (Hanks) was a superstar team leader at the big-box company where heâs worked since his time in the Navy. Underwater on his mortgage and unclear on what to do with his suddenly free days, Larry heads to his local college to start over. There he becomes part of a colorful community of outcasts, also-rans and the overlooked all trying to find a better future for themselvesâ¦often moving around town in a herd of scooters. In his public-speaking class, Larry develops an unexpected crush on his teacher Mercedes Tainot (Roberts), who has lost as much passion for teaching as she has for her husband."

Just a quickie...
Things have been progressing, as holidays are apt to do, and this morning I am at Kiev airport awaiting my flight to Paris. This is our last stop before returning home at the end of the week. After all the other locations, Paris will be easy. For a start, we can read the writing... secondly, I can speak some very basic French. Certainly enough to know when we are being ripped off!
Two days ago we had what was surely the major highlight of the trip - we went on a day trip to Chernobyl. It was totally amazing! As we drove out we were shown a dosemeter to observe the slowly increasing background radiation levels. Of course, this meant little to most people except me, as the only physicist in attendance. But it was so surreal. The empty town with the images of the abandoned ferris wheel and sports centre. We were able to go into a former hotel and it was amazing to look over the town - which had a perfect view of Reactor 4 which blew - and this town that was once bustling with 50 000 people, and is now desolate. The drive out there, the group of us was laughing and joking. On the drive back to Kiev, we were quiet and contemplative. A truly amazing experience.

Fall is Here!
Although the weather is still warm in Cleveland, Ohio, the leaves and pumpkins tell us it is Fall. It is an unusually "pink" Fall as the summer, especially the last few weeks have been very dry!
One grill is packed in the garage and the other is covered in a much too big grill ccvoer. Soon the green grill tarp will be covered with snow!
It is almost time to make pumpkin pie. I love canned pumpkin, but the very best pies are from a "pumpkin pie pumpkin." I never carve a "pumpkin pie pumpkin," but let it stay whole as a great table decoration until it is cut up and prepared as a substitute for canned pumpkin in a few pumpkin pies.

O human :')
Two stone statues,
Impaled alone,
As a sign for a rigid body,
On the cool horror and lonely night,
The wind howls like a wolf,
Violent, insane and unpredictable,
As if it understands the injustice of the body when alive.
Tears, sorrows, pains and heartbreak,
Where no one fight for,
This body is called a CHILD !
Do you ever recognize,
The children's world filled in dark grey and black
Struggle, trauma that never fully gone,
Children have been misused, they have been abused,
They were raped, strangled aggressively,
Also there were beaten, broken and mangled.
Where is justice ? Where is freedom ?
These future generations need protection !
Open your eyes,
Let them be a child,
Childhood should be carefree,
Not living in nightmare,
Don`t ignore them,
Letting them in darkness of the soul,
They deserve to be safe, to be heard, to belong,
To have an adequate care,
Let`s hold hands to embrace happiness,
And to never let them in loneliness,
As there`s still tomorrow to be enjoyed with grace,
To concern is being human,
To act is to care !
Children are precious . They are the future generations . Stand together to make this world a better place to stay . Its never late to make differences ^^

Paris & Nicky Spend Some Quality Time Together (X17 Online)
That girl will never stop entertain me !
her Pic in post #2 is juts ..what was she thinking?
This is what she comes up with when she wants to be comfy!
Some of our snowbirds here in South Florida dress like that all the time. It's really kind of a sweet outfit on little older ladies.....not becoming on Paris.
Love her keepall! LOL
if she could, she would shop naked! (haha)
Another day of shopping, sleeping, shopping, sleeping then clubbing, shopping, sleeping, shopping, sleeping.....
i seriously think Nicky is soooooo much prettier than Paris. same with Ashley and Jessica Simpsons, i think Ashley is a lot prettier than Jessica even before her nose job~ lol, just my opinion~
meh :/ Pjs?? Paris sure has weird ideas sometimes...
Wearing pajama pants out has been a fad among the young girls in my area for a while now. I guess it looks okay when 12-year-old girls do it, but now I am seeing women my age walking around in pajama pants! That looks so stupid! I saw this woman the other day who looked older than me wearing pajama pants with teddy bears all over them at Wal-Mart. I turned to my boyfriend and said, "If I ever get the notion to start wearing pajama pants in public, please shoot me!"
Clowns are there for entertainment.
I've seen some high school/college girls in "PJ's" while shopping. It's one of thing if you are coming from the gym, wearing sweats, and running a quick errand. But some girls wear them as if it is "chic" fashion statement. Still don't get when looking like you rolled out of bed is a fashion statement!
Uh no!

The most important thing in the markup is to make it right. My markup shouldn't differ from the design. If elements' behavior is not thought out - how it shows or hides, how button is pressed, how menu opens - I think it out. Only if result looks great. Markup should work similar in modern browsers and in old ones, nothing should look wrong, all interactive things must always work, nothing must be missing on mobile devices. If 1% of visitors using IE7, but they can't send a form or press a "Buy" button, that means that client is lost. This is unacceptable. Every visitor got to use a working product.
I know how everything i made and can explain works in browsers. I know how all i can mark up works in browsers. I know features of old browsers. I remember most part of solutions and keeping the other part in sorted bookmarks so i can find it fast. I use new HTML5 things, which are supported by penultimate versions of browsers, but i control its correct operation in the old ones. I'm trying to avoid situations, which are difficult for browser.

Top Residential Painters
Paint Service Guide
Painting can be done for residential or commercial purposes. The main reason why painting is done is to rejuvenate the appearance of the surface that is painted. Painting is an art by itself; it is not just about taking a brush and smearing paint on surfaces. That is why it is advisable to hire professionals who have a clear understanding of painting services. The experts at risepainting.com are well trained, have the right skills and equipment for the job.
If you are planning to have your house painted, carry out a thorough analysis on whether you need painting on both interior and exterior walls. This will help you to know the cost implications for the work and also the type of contractor to hire. Some contractors can only handle a given scope of painting because they do not have the right personnel or equipment for complex painting projects.
There are various factors to consider before painting can commence. For instance, you need to know if the surface being painted is new or not. If it is not new and has an old coating of paint, you need to know whether you will be required to remove the old coating first. Also, some areas may need to be repaired first before painting is done to avoid further costs later on, learn more!
The method used in applying paint is another thing to consider. You should match the technique used such as spraying or brushing with the design and characteristics of a specific painting area in order to produce the desired results. Actually, different types and sizes of a brush will produce varying painting results. Some paintings require you to apply different layers of paint so as to create a remarkable work of art. Another thing to consider is the mixture of paint colors. There is a very wide range of colors to choose from. Some color shades can only be obtained when two or more colors are mixed in very well calculated proportions. In order to produce impressive work, you must be keen on how you combine the different colors.
There are different types of paints currently available in the market, which provide the much-needed coating on the exterior as well as interior surfaces. Some types of paints contain high levels of lead metal, which has very serious side effects in case it comes into contact with the human body. Therefore, it is important to understand all hazards associated with the use of paint, so as to choose the most suitable one for use in treating specific surfaces.For more facts and information about paint services, visit http://edition.cnn.com/2016/08/12/health/turning-points-blind-artist-john-bramblitt/index.html.

Sheinside color block coat (also love this color block option), Club Monaco Rebekah short, HUE tights, Gap merino crewneck sweater, Alaia clutch, Zara booties (old), Forever 21 knit hat
This year I have made the conscious effort to add more colorful outerwear to my closet. I didn't realize it until recently, but I only have neutral outerwear options. While this makes for a more versatile closet, I also feel the need to add more fun. I found this great coat online and purchased it hoping it would be a great addition. It's neutral (hello white, black and camel) with a pop of cobalt which adds a fun element! I decided to let the coat be the focus and pair it with all black. I've found some other color block coats below:

God's Life Altering Gift
Contributed by Ron Murphy on Jan 3, 2007 (message contributor)
Summary: Thanks to the Sermont Central Contributor for the "G.I.F.T." format. God's gift of faith is a life altering gift.
God's Gift is Imputed
I. When you open your gifts on Christmas morning, remember the word "Imputed."
II. Think of the word "Imputed" as meaning,
A. Not given according to your own merits, but rather according to someone else's.
B. In other words, I'm not getting a gift I deserve, but rather a gift that someone else deserves.
III. Think of it a bit like the Santa Claus song
A. How does the song go?
You'd better watch out,
You'd better not shout,
You better not cry.
I'm telling you why.
Santa Clause is coming to town.
He see's you when your sleeping.
He knows when your awake,
He knows if you've been bad or good, SO,
Be good for goodness sake.
B. The idea being,
1. If you "good" you will get a good gift, which you deserve
2. If you are not so good, then, well, maybe a not so good gift.
IV. In the case of God's gift, if I get what I deserve,
A. I'll get something worse than coal.
B. If I get what I deserve, I get to remain in my death, which is eternally separated from God..
V. God's gift is not based on me, but rather based on His great love.
VI. I. is for an Imputed Gift - "(2:8) For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— "
A. That is the good news about salvation.
1. Salvation is a gift that is presented through the preaching of the gospel.
2. A preacher tells you about Jesus Christ,
a. If you believe the message, and
b. If you offer yourself to God believing that God will save you, based on the goodness of Christ and not myself
3. Then you have unwrapped the gift of salvation.
a. You don't have to put off salvation until you have had time to go home and fix a few things in your life.
b. You don't have to clean up your act and them come back.
c. You can be saved right now simply because you believe the message.
VII. The gift of salvation is imputed, which means that you can't buy it, either. God's Gift is A Free Gift
I. Ephesians 2, verse 9 states that God's gift of salvation is given, "not as a result of works, that no one should boast."
Many people see religion as man's attempt to appease God, and thus gain His approval.
A. If I go to church, God will be happy with me, and thus I gain His approval.
B. If I give to charitable deeds, God will be happy with me, and thus I gain His approval.
C. If I take a position in the church, God will be happy with me, and thus I gain His approval.
D. If I sing worship songs, and pray with feeling, God will be happy with me, and thus I gain His approval.
E. If the good stuff I do, outweighs the bad, God will be happy with me, and thus I will gain His approval.
II. Ephesians 2, verse 9 however makes it very clear,
A. God's approval is not based on our own good stuff.
B. Truth be told, in actuality, salvation is not "free."
1. Salvation requires perfection,
2. God's approval, and thus our entrance into heaven requires not simply our good outweighing out bad,
3. God's approval requires perfection.
4. Thus Romans 3, beginning in verse 23 is written, - 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus; 25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; 26 for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. 27 Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. 28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
III. God's gift of salvation is a free gift, as far as our need or ability to earn it, but make no mistake, eternal life was earned.
A. It was earned when the perfectly sinless, Jesus Christ went to the cross.
B. Salvation was earned by Christ, imputed to us through faith in Christ, and credited to us as a free gift, by God Himself.
C. The only work required of us is belief. God's Gift Is A Transforming Gift
I. Finally, God's gift is a transforming gift.

Reports from nme.com readers who went to Oasis shows at the weekend...
We asked you if you were at the US Oasis shows to send us your comments.
We were overwhelmed by the number of entries – but have selected some of the best.
The verdicts were largely positive. Comments ranged from "Unreal!", "Gem is terrific fellow", "Total rock stars" and "Real blood and guts rock and roll" to "sterile" and "Beck was the highlight".
Still, with naysayers in the minority, you can find out what others had to say. More reports will be added in the next few days, particularly reactions to the Detroit and Chicago shows.

Pink again!
A couple of cards this week, another pink one for the 2 Sketches for You challenge and a transport theme for the Tanda Teaser this week.
This card was inspired by the 2S4Y challenge this week. It is not exactly as per the sketch but has similar elements.
I used stamps from one of Tanda's Art Deco sets for the centre and the corners. Stamped onto pink card with Versamark ink then embossed with white. Layered each element on wine card. The strip across the middle was punched with a Fiskars scallop edge punch and layered with pink, brown and white ribbon.
Unfortunately the colours have not come through as bright as they are in real life.
The second card is for the Tanda Teaser this week.
The theme is Transport Delights. The stamp is one that was sent to me by Carol from Hamilton. she sent a really exciting bundle of stamped images and punched shapes the other day. Thank you Carol!
I edged the stamped image with Tim Holtz distress inks - Aged Mahogany, Antique Linen and Black Soot. The key was another image from Carol and I used a gold lame Smooch ink to add a touch of gold colour to that. Attached the key with a gold cord attached to a round paper clip. Again, the colours are not as bright as they look in real life.
I have been playing with a Photo Effects Editor program suggested to me by the lovely Sue Law (from Tanda Teaser Forum). I am quite pleased with the effects you can get on photos.

Janet these are lovely, how wonderful of your friend to send you such great images, that card lends its self to the distress inks and the whole transport theme.
The pink lady is one of my all time favourite images and it works so well with the treatment you have given it. Great cards love them both.

Hi Janet...the pink lady was the stamp that got me into Tanda Stamps in the first place...I love her to bits!..She works well on shrink plastic too if you fancy playing. Love your transport card, lucky you getting such a lovely image sent to you!

Thank you!
I'm a beginner, what do I need to know?
Welcome to your first encounter with Tai Chi! Tai Chi will make you feel great. Tai Chi will relax you, will give you new energy, create success and strategic thinking and an empathic mind. Also it will make you stronger.
There are some basic rules in exercising Tai Chi.
Never do anything that hurts. It can sometimes be a bit painful, but that generally feels like a good pain - not the warning pain of injury. Strengthening your body can be hard work, but again, that feels different than your body trying to alert you that something is not right for you. When your body tells you to stop, listen to it!
Can I practice Tai Chi when I'm in my menstrual cycle?
Some people prefer to stop practicing Tai Chi, and others keep going. Either way, listen to what your body tells you! A slower, more restorative practice might be beneficial.
How long does it take to feel the benefits of Tai Chi?
You will feel some benefits immediately, such as physically feeling tension release and the body opening and muscle strengthening. The "feel good" feeling that keeps people hooked on Tai Chi. Other benefits depend on how much you practice, and every person is different. But everybody will feel a positive change after a few weeks.
What are the benefits of practicing Tai Chi?
Tai Chi has many physical benefits: it creates a flexible, toned and strong body, and it improves breathing, energy and metabolism. Tai Chi improves circulatory and cardiac health. It improves fitness levels, relieves pain, and improves posture.
Tai Chi also provides mental benefits: it makes you happier, more balanced, and emotionally calmer. It helps you relax so you can handle stress better. Tai Chi encourages self-confidence and helps you to focus your energy. You will be more successful.
The spiritual benefits of Tai Chi are also important: Tai Chi teaches you to be aware—aware of what is going on inside and outside of you. Tai Chi teaches you to be present in your environment and open to what is all around!
I want to lose weight. Can Tai Chi help me?
Tai Chi helps to bring the body back into balance. For example, it helps to regulate the thyroid gland, which helps to regulate your weight. When you feel balanced and positive, you are less likely to eat when it isn't right for you, and less likely to eat what is not right for your body.
I have a medical problem. Can I still do Tai Chi?
If you have medical issues you are not sure about, consult your doctor. We do not recommend that you attempt any of these Tai Chi exercises without suitable experience and supervision. We offer no medical advice. You should consult a medical practitioner before attempting any exercise and particularly Tai Chi, to ensure that you do not injure yourself. This is particularly important if you are overweight, pregnant, nursing, regularly taking medications, or have any existing medical conditions.
It is also true that practising Tai Chi is beneficial to reduce the impact for a great number of diseases. It is a kind of medicine. Especially for muscle and digestive problems, nerve problems, back and neck problems.
Can I eat before Tai Chi?
You want to have an empty stomach during a session, so leave at least 2 hours between a main meal and Tai Chi. Digestion of food requires energy and when you do Tai Chi after a meal, your energy goes to the muscles you're exercising and the body can't digest the food properly.
What's the best time to practice?
The morning is a great time to practice; you wake up stiff from the night, so opening up your body with some Tai Chi sets you up nicely for the day. In the evening, Tai Chi can be a nice way to unwind.
Whenever you can fit Tai Chi in, that's the right time for you!
How often and for how long should I practice Tai Chi?
Tai Chi is great ! Even when you practice for 1 hour a week, you will feel so much better already.
For some people that is enough. Others, because they feel so good with it, will naturally want to practice more.
If you can, practice 2 to 3 times a week. Everyday if you want of course. You can practice an hour or an hour and a half when you can, but don't let unrealistic expectations stop you from practicing 20 minutes, or even 10 minutes ! That is all you need to stay balanced, strong and flexible. So practice how much you can, when you can. And focus and be proud of what you do, rather than focusing on what you want to do.
Is Tai Chi a religion?
No, Tai Chi is not a religion. Tai Chi is a philosophy, a martial art. It provides a framework for spiritual growth and mastery over the physical and mental body.
When tracing Tai Chi formative influences to Taoist and Buddhist monasteries, there seems little more to go on than legendary tales from a modern historical perspective, but Tai Chi's practical connection to and dependence upon the theories of Sung dynasty Neo-Confucianism (a conscious synthesis of Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian traditions, especially the teachings of Mencius) is claimed by some traditional schools. The theories and practices are believed by these schools to have been formulated by the Taoist monk Zhang Sanfeng in the 12th century, at about the same time that the principles of the Neo-Confucian school were making themselves felt in Chinese intellectual life. However, modern research casts serious doubt the validity of those claims, pointing out that a 17th-century piece called "Epitaph for Wang Zhengnan" (1669), composed by Huang Zongxi (1610–1695 A.D.), is the earliest reference indicating any connection between Zhang Sanfeng and martial arts whatsoever, and must not be taken literally but must be understood as a political metaphor instead. Claims of connections between Tai Chi and Zhang Sanfeng appeared no earlier than the 19th century.
History records that Yang Luchan trained with the Chen family for 18 years before he started to teach the art in Beijing, which strongly suggests that his art was based on, or heavily influenced by, the Chen family art. The Chen family are able to trace the development of their art back to Chen Wangting in the 17th century.
What is now known as Tai Chi appears to have received this appellation from only around the mid-1800s. There was a scholar in the Imperial Court by the name of Ong Tong He who witnessed a demonstration by Yang Luchan at a time before Yang had established his reputation as a teacher. Afterwards Ong wrote: "Hands holding Taiji shakes the whole world, a chest containing ultimate skill defeats a gathering of heroes."

For four hundred years, Boston breakthroughs have changed how the world lives. Why here? Why is Boston historically a hotbed for creative discovery in medicine, biotechnology, information technology finance, and education to name a few?
Boston's independent spirit nourishes a certain genius, a knack for taking on the existing ways of doing things and changing them. It is no surprise that Boston was the birthplace of the American Revolution. It is also home to a second revolution, one in ideas stimulated by writers and philosophers like Longfellow, Thoreau, and Emerson, who originated a truly American culture in the 1830s. Boston helped to foster a strong abolitionist movement that contributed to the end of slavery, and a century later Boston was one of the catalysts for the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. Dissent from the existing way of understanding the world leads to innovation. Today Boston is the center of a biotechnology revolution. Tomorrow? Nanotechnology?
From colonial times to now, innovative Bostonians, drawn here by economic, social, and educational opportunities, have exhibited an individual rebelliousness, stimulated by the juxtaposition of so many and varied financial, educational, and industrial institutions. Innovators are supporter by the academic freedom of nearly 70 institutions of higher learning, enterprising spin-off companies, a supportive venture capital community, and law firms that specialize in patents and copyrights. Collaboratively they create a region in which innovation thrives, generation after generation.
On these pages you will meet a few of the people who had "big ideas" and challenged the existing way of doing things - with many different Boston accents. The slave Onesimus, people from rural areas with a dream like Ellen Swallow Richards or Percy Spencer, immigrants like Alexander Graham Bell, graduate students who stay - all contribute to the depth and variety of thought, industry, and finance that is Boston.
Let us know what you think about Boston not just as the home of the colonial revolution, but as the cradle of Boston's other revolutions, with innovations by men and women who challenged the existing ways of thinking and doing, repeated over and over, and so have contributed mightily to the nation and the world.
Read about some of the familiar, and surprising, discoveries that happened first in Boston and changed how folks live. More than 25 organizations, from MIT and Northeastern to the Massachusetts Biotechnology Council and Boston University, and a hundred researchers and scholars have worked on this project for more than four years as part of our Working Committee, sifting out the stories and the facts.
Why Boston? We invite you to read the book, take the tour, and come up with your own answers.

'Maps to the Stars' is the shocking tale of the Weiss clan - at first glance, just your average Hollywood family.
From the start, we learn that young Agatha (Mia Wasikowska) as a child tried to burn down the house while her family were asleep. Now, she comes back to Hollywood from a sanatorium to make amends. Her brother Benjie (Evan Bird) is also troubled and rebels against his parents' wishes to not see Agatha. By the age of 12, he is addicted to drugs and has already been to rehab, but then he and Agatha decide to runaway together.
Too brutal to be believed, surely? Well, yes and no. To celebrate this week's home release of the film starring Julianne Moore and Robert Pattinson, we take a look at some of Hollywood's real-life families, celebrated as much for their in-your-face dysfunction as for their glamour, and wonder, is fiction really any stranger than truth?
'Maps To The Stars' is available on Blu-Ray/DVD from 2 February, courtesy of Entertainment One. Watch the trailer below...

Non-Sports Post!
This may be a bit of a surprise to you but our candidates for president weren't completely truthful in their final debate on Wednesday night. I know that the knowledge of politicians not being completely honest with the American public may be disturbing, because politicians never do stuff like that, but someone has to hold them accountable. In my opinion, Obama was worse because he seemed to be even more deceptive and willing to mislead people. Here are some examples:
OBAMA: "Every dollar that I've proposed, I've proposed an additional cut, so that it matches."
FACT: The bipartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget estimates that his programs would add $281 billion to the deficit at the end of his first term. The analysis includes Obama's proposals for saving money.
OBAMA: "One hundred percent, John, of your ads — 100 percent of them — have been negative."
FACT: The statement is true when it comes to McCain's current commercial spots. But by saying McCain's ads "have been" 100 percent negative, Obama ventures into misleading territory. McCain is currently running all negative ads, according to a study by the University of Wisconsin-Madison. But he has run a number of positive ads during the campaign.
OBAMA: "I want to provide a tax cut for 95 percent of working Americans, 95 percent."
FACT: Obama constantly says this. But the independent Tax Policy Center says his plan cuts taxes for 81.3 percent of all households in 2009.
MCCAIN: "Sen. Obama, as a member of the Illinois state Senate, voted in the Judiciary Committee against a law that would provide immediate medical attention to a child born in a failed abortion. He voted against that."
OBAMA: "If it sounds incredible that I would vote to withhold lifesaving treatment from an infant, that's because it's not true."
FACT: As a state senator, Obama opposed three legislative efforts, in 2001, 2002 and 2003, to give legal protections to any aborted fetus that showed signs of life. The 2003 measure was virtually identical to a bill President Bush signed into law in 2002 — a bill that passed before Obama was in the U.S. Senate, but one that Obama said he would have supported. The state of Illinois already had a law to protect aborted fetuses born alive and considered able to survive. Among those opposed to the state effort was the Illinois State Medical Society, which argued that the bill would interfere with the doctor-patient relationship and expand civil liability for doctors. Critics said the proposed legislation would have undermined the landmark Supreme Court case on abortion, Roe v. Wade, in ways the federal law would not.
OBAMA: Said he would be "completely supportive" of late-term abortion restrictions "as long as there's an exception for the mother's health and life."
FACT: Obama leaves himself a lot of latitude in this answer. A woman's "health" has been so broadly interpreted that it can include conditions, including psychological conditions, that are difficult to diagnose or prove. Anti-abortion advocates say that makes the ban meaningless, because it leaves too much subjective judgment in the equation.
OBAMA: "We can cut the average family's premium by $2,500 a year."
FACT: If that sounds like a straight-ahead promise to lower health insurance premiums, it isn't. Obama hopes that by spending $50 billion over five years on electronic medical records and by improving access to proven disease management programs, among other steps, consumers will end up saving money. He uses an optimistic analysis to suggested cost reductions in national health care spending could amount to the equivalent of $2,500 for a family of four. Many economists are skeptical those savings can be achieved, but even if they are, it's not a certainty that every dollar would be passed on to consumers in the form of lower premiums.
I don't know about you but I see deliberate attempts by Obama to deceive the American people by promising things he can't deliver (cuts for taxes and in the national debt and savings for health insurance) and protecting his true character (voting against the protection of infants who are victims of failed abortions and trying to play both sides of the abortion issue when he is clearly pro-choice) as well as lying about campaign ads by his opponents.
I know there were some mistatments by McCain Wednesay night as well because, let's face it, he does have a tendency to inflate numbers when it comes to money spent on foreign oil, he refers to the percentage of payroll businesses would have to pay towards the costs of Obama's public insurance plan a "fine" and as much as I am all for finding alternative fuels I don't see us eliminating our dependence on foreign oil by building nuclear power plants any time in the next 20 years.
However, that said, McCain doesn't have to protect his reputation and character with lies nor do I believe that he is holding out empty promises in front of me to gain my vote. Just some thoughts I wanted to pass along.

Amid condemnation in Seoul, Tokyo and Washington, a jubilant North Korean leader Kim Jong Un promised more nuclear and missile tests and warned his country's weapons could strike the US mainland and Pacific holdings.
Contained in the nonbinding press statement, which has to be approved by all members, is the emphasis the council places on the vital importance of the North "immediately showing honest commitment to denuclearization through concrete action" and the need to reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The members also "reiterated the importance of maintaining peace and stability" on the Korean Peninsula.
In a unanimous statement, the United Nations Security Council said it would take strong measures in response to what it described as North Korea's "highly destabilizing behavior and provocative defiance".
Asked if North Korea's missile programme was developing faster than the South had expected, he said: "Yes".
The Security Council has adopted six increasingly tougher sanctions resolutions against North Korea.
Pyongyang has conducted two nuclear tests and dozens of missile launches since the start of 2016, prompting the United Nations to adopt two sanction resolutions previous year to ramp up pressure on North Korea.
A closed-door emergency Council session was set for Tuesday.
"That is because we must have many relations to pursue with the North, and engage in dialogue", Lee said.
A missile is being launched from an undisclosed location in North Korea on Sunday.
North Korea today said it had successfully tested a new type of rocket in its latest missile launch, as analysts said it showed an unprecedented range that brought USA bases in the Pacific within reach.More news: Ford to cut 1400 jobs by the end of this summer
More news: Europa League: Rashford to the Rescue for United
More news: Swedish prosecutors drop rape probe against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
Speaking to reporters during his visit to China, Putin said Monday that "there's nothing good about" the launch.
The Russian Defence Ministry said on Sunday that the missile crashed into the Sea of Japan around 500 km (310 miles) off the Russian coast.
North Korea's long-term bid to develop a credible nuclear attack threat to the United States mainland saw it launch Sunday what appeared to be its longest-range missile yet.
The South Korean official also said Pyongyang's public announcement of the missile test was "not appropriate".
On Monday, North Korean state media showed photos of Kim Jong Un laughing and hugging his rocket scientists after the launch, which he personally oversaw, the report said.
DPRK are the initials of North Korea's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
What has North Korea been saying?Beijing is wary of piling on economic pressure that could cause North Korea's collapse, and it wasn't clear Monday if it would support new sanctions.
The North has been working on a missile, mounted with a nuclear warhead, capable of striking the US mainland.
It said the newly developed Hwasong-12 flew as high as 2,111 kilometers (1,310 miles) before landing in a targeted area in the ocean about 787 kilometers (490 miles) from the launch site.
North Korea said it fired the missile at a high angle to avoid neighboring countries.

KryptoniteBook - 2008
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
A solid outing from the late Mr Cooke, with stylish artwork by Tim Sale that is both reminiscent of- and differentiated from his pencils for Superman for All Seasons.
Ultimately this is a story about vulnerability, and it plays off the fun conceit that we, the readers, already know that Supers is well-nigh invulnerable, but at this early stage in his superheroing career, does he? He naturally has his doubts, even before his first encounter with the kryptonite radiation that plays a big role in how this story unfolds.
Bonus points for Strong Female Characters in the form of Lois Lane and Ma Kent, points deducted for the presence of the Royal Flush gang- what a bunch of maroons!
