A cataract is a clouding of the eye's lens. It leads to decreased vision. The lens of the eye focuses an image onto the retina at the back of the eye. This is where an image is processed, and then sent to the brain.
As the cataract matures, it often causes glare, decreased vision, and contrast. Color sensitivity may also be lost if the cataract begins to turn yellow.
The lens of the eye is made of mostly water and protein. The protein is arranged in a way that keeps the lens clear so light can pass through it. A cataract forms when some of the protein clumps together and starts to cloud an area of the lens. A cataract won't spread from one eye to the other, although most people develop cataracts in both eyes at similar times.
There are several causes of cataracts, including:
Cataracts are common in older adults. Other factors that may increase your chance of a cataract include:
When a cataract is in the early stages, you may not notice any changes in your vision. Cataracts tend to mature slowly. Vision gets worse gradually. Some people with a cataract find that their close-up vision suddenly improves. This is only temporary. Vision is likely to get worse as the cataract becomes cloudier. Because the decrease in vision is gradual, many people do not realize that they have a cataract until it is discovered during a routine eye examination.
A cataract may cause:
These symptoms can also be signs of other eye problems. If you have any of these symptoms, check with your eye care professional right away.
The only way to diagnose a cataract is to have an eye examination. Your eye doctor will examine the lens or do some tests to learn more about the structure and health of your eye.
A comprehensive eye examination for cataracts usually includes:
For an early cataract, vision may be improved by using different eyeglasses, magnifying lenses, or stronger lighting. If these measures don't help, or if vision loss interferes with daily activities such as driving, reading, or watching TV, surgery is the only effective treatment.
Cataract surgery
involves waiting until you are ready to have to have it so that it doesn't harm your eye. While you wait, your cataract will get cloudier with time.
Cataract surgery is almost always performed in one eye at a time. After the cloudy lens is removed, the eye surgeon places an intraocular lens (IOL) in its place. An IOL is a clear lens that requires no care and becomes a permanent part of your eye.
After cataract surgery, most people need reading glasses or for distance vision. There is a relatively new option, multifocal intraocular lenses, which focus for both near and far distances in the same lens. Many who receive multifocal intraocular lenses may not need to wear glasses.

Pristina, a city of some 250,000 people, is the capital of the new state of Kosovo. It is not a beautiful city, but certainly a lively one. Above all, it is young: two thirds of Kosovo's population is under 30 years old. Young people pack Pristina's many cafes and bars, sipping their macchiatos, and stroll down Mother Theresa Boulevard.
Pristina's recent history has been marked by abrupt breaks. In the interwar period and again in the 1950s, Pristina saw a mass exodus of its Turkish-speaking Muslim population. After World War II, most of its Jewish population moved to Israel. In the spring of 1999, the city was emptied of its Albanian population as part of the Milosevic plan to ethnically cleanse Kosovo. After the Milosevic's fall from power in the summer of 1999, Pristina lost its Serbian and Roma population, most of whom fled to Serbia-proper or Serb-majority villages around Pristina. Little has remained of the city's multi-cultural past.
The communist leadership also set out to destroy Pristina's Ottoman heritage. Under the motto "destroy the old, build the new", the old bazaar, the commercial heart of the city, was torn down. Churches and mosques were destroyed, all but a few Ottoman-era homes were replaced by concrete apartment blocks, and socialist planners transformed the city into a administrative centre. Workers from the nearby mines settled in illegally built houses in the infrastructurally-underdeveloped northern part of the city. Jobs in public administration and industry attracted migrants from other parts of Kosovo. During the 70s and 80s, the city doubled in size.
By the 1950s Pristina's main river, the Vellusha, started serving as the city's sewer. City planners, having failed to put in place a proper wastewater system, simply decided to cover the river. The threat of recurring floods and the smell of excrement persuaded the municipal assembly to eventually cover the second river, the Pristina.
Although the city started its first public water system in 1946, the necessary filters to treat the water were never put in place. Even today, the town's sewage water flows unfiltered into the Sitnica River south of Pristina.
For rock musician Migjen Kelmendi, Pristina's covered river was a symbol of a hidden identity. His rock band, Traces, made a song about a "City without a River". More recently Migjen wrote a book about this theme. The rivers hidden from view expose the arrogance of communist planners, as Migjen saw it, but also remind us that looks can be deceiving. Pristina is a place of secrets, a city more interesting than it might appear at first sight.
To a local, just as much as to a casual visitor, Pristina is indeed a city of secrets, recluctant to reveal anything about its recent past or even its present. There are few historical monuments, and those that exist are often hidden from view. There are no signs on any of the buildings, and no clues explaining their historical importance. Archives are lost, stolen, burned or difficult to access. If the official website of the municipality is anything to go by, Pristina – leaving aside its distant Illyrian past – seems to have no real history. There is hardly a word on the Ottoman period. No books on Pristina are to be found in any of its bookshops. The rich and colourful past of one of the oldest urban centres of the region, and one of the youngest capitals of Europe, remains as concealed as its rivers.
"Grand Hotel Prishtina"
Today there is almost full employment in Pristina. However, most of the economic activity depends on the government and the international community. The presence of UNMIK, KFOR, international NGOs, and diplomatic missions injects money into the local economy. New restaurants, cafes and shops have begun catering to international officials and Kosovars on the UN, EU or OSCE payrolls. Pristina airport, meanwhile, has become one of the busiest in the region, with close to one million passengers per year.

Why Wikipedia's Competitors Are Failing, And Why Knol Might Not
from the the-knolipedia dept
With the possible exception of our allegedly-sexual-predator-filled social networks, it seems safe to say that there's no internet phenomenon that causes quite as much finger-wagging consternation as Wikipedia. Is it credible? Complete? A worthy reference material? Personally, I'm content to leave these questions to the world's concerned librarians.
One thing that's not in question is whether Wikipedia is successful. But why aren't its competitors? Linux News' Mick O'Leary discussed the issue yesterday, specifically examining why Veropedia and Citizendium's efforts to improve upon Wikipedia don't show much promise for attracting a following. O'Leary's diagnosis of the problems with the sites' underlying models is almost beside the point: despite Wikipedia's content being reproducible under a GPL-like license, neither project has decided to use a forked Wikipedia as a starting point. As a result they simply don't have the content to count as a viable alternative.
But, as Bennett Haselton convincingly argued on Slashdot last week, this is a problem that Google's upcoming Knol initiative is unlikely to face. The prospect of ad revenue (and page views supplied by a presumably friendly PageRank) will no doubt prompt a flurry of copy & pasting from Wikipedia. And although Google's Knol announcement is a little vague, their professed light-touch approach to content sounds likely to make Wikipedia-licensed content okay for Knol. Even without an automated forking process, it seems certain that Knol will wind up mirroring large parts of Wikipedia.
But after that initial land-grab will Knol be able to take the ball from Jimmy Wales' leviathan and run with it? It depends what Google is banking on. Veropedia and Citizendium's examples strongly imply that Knol's focus on authorial accountability won't be the deciding factor in its success. A human name and grinning headshot may be more immediately comforting than an inscrutable pseudonym, but they only confer modestly more meaningful vetting opportunities than does Wikipedia's contribution-tracking system. Seriously evaluating an author's background, perspective and credibility will be a time-consuming task no matter what the underlying system is.
But if Knol instead relies on Google's built-in promotional advantages -- aka search result dirty tricks -- it's got a real shot. Wikipedia is proof that a wiki reference tool's value is largely derived from the network effects it enjoys, and currently most of those effects are driven by the site's high placement in search results. What will happen if Google decides to put Knol on an equal footing? Given Wikipedia's liberal licensing scheme and Knol's plan for more aggressively attracting content, the coming wiki showdown may wind up being decided by pure brand power more than anything else.

Small Victories
Progress on the Brooklyn home-front at A-Z East feels like it has been moving forward at a snail's pace. I'm in my old apartment on the second floor every other month, but it seems like whenever I'm here there is a show to hang, or a bunch of meetings to make. Today we finally hung a new linen window-panel in the bathroom that has been on my to-do list for over two years…. Victory.
Summer Monsoon Season
The absolute best thing about the hot months are summer monsoons.
Chakra Healing Pyramids
For years I've been eyeing this head turner – a big pink building (turns out it is a former post office) – uncharacteristically stylish for its Wonder Valley digs. Why this remote and sparsely section of the desert would need such a huge and fancy post office is still a bit of a mystery – as is the reason for its decommission.
A few years ago my interest ramped up even more when pyramids and a big dome appeared scattered around the grounds. And on Sunday I finally got an up-close viewing by owners Philip and Margot who are going to open up the building and grounds as part of the HDTS driving map (the building will be open on the first Saturday of every month).
The inside of the building is even more astounding than the outside, but since the power was out I didn't try to take photos – discovering the interior wonderment should be considered further enticement to curiosity seekers considering the trek out to Wonder Valley.
First Day For HDTS HQ
Crazy Sweet New Tiles
Check out the new tiles in the kitchen at A-Z West! This is a pattern that I designed for Arena in Mexico who will be producing and selling them…. soon.
Fresh Stucco
About two and a half years ago we started a 499 square foot addition on the house. (If you add more then 500 square feet you have to bring the entire structure up to code -and as it turns out over half of my 800 square foot cabin had been built illegally with no permits) At first the structure went really quickly – but since then it has taken years to finish all of the details. Today Danny Simpson re-stuccoed the back and side of the house which were riddled with at least ten different patch jobs. Next we finish the outdoor kitchen (coming soon) and finally there will be an outside sleeping deck on top of the area that Danny is working on in this photo.
Soft Opening
The HDTS Headquarters is finally going to be open this weekend! Jena has volunteered to come out from Los Angeles and HQ sit – and I'm putting the finishing touches on the driving map as I post this. Plus we have new stuff to peddle including a bitchin stained glass window by Steve Halterman (in background) and cool bronze necklaces by Wells Pollock (being modeled in the foreground by Thomas).
For more info on HDTS visit the website. If you are local and are able to help sit the space on weekends email us – we need you!
Sadie Coles HQ
This show that opened June 10th is being posted in July because June was a crazy bad-ass month. Not only was there a mini survey show at the Palazzo Pitti in Florence and a large new project at the IMA in Indianapolis – but we also hung a solo show at Sadie Coles HQ in London. It is hard to chose a single representative image of this show – but here is a shot at it. I liked this body of work because it was all about representation and experience which is something that I've been struggling with in my work forever.
And there was a video. I mean a real video-video (not a powerpoint style video), which is sort of a first. Each show I try to make one work that scares the shit out of me (generally something that might be doomed to fail) This time that work was a video called "Clutch" – thanks to the superb cinematography of Giovanni Jance I think it actually worked.
Beauty Shot
The beauty shot doesn't do it justice. Not because the Island is any more drop dead gorgeous – but because it is missing Mike Runge and Jessica Dunn the official Island Residents at the IMA (Indianapolis Museum of Art) this summer.
I heart Mike and Jessica. They are resilient, funny, articulate and seem to have an endless cadre of friends bringing them picnics while they live on the Island.
The way it works is this: For the last two years we have been working on Indy Island for the IMA's new art and nature park: 100 Acres. (The island was made by Barnacle Brothers – a fabrication outfit in LA who totally rock). Each year the IMA will invite one or two residents to live on the island and to interface with the public, sort of like park rangers. Or maybe docents.
This year island residents Mike and Jessica who are doing a project called "Give and Take". When a flag is raised on the island they will row ashore to pick up visitors who want to tour the island (there is a bell on shore that people ring when they want to come out) Visitors can also send them messages in floating island-like pods, and they have what they call "island trade" where people can bring them things and make trades in the process. And while doing all of this they manage to maintain a pretty detailed blog.
And to top it off there is a bicycle generator for energy and floating gardens in an attempt for self sufficiency. Genius.

Hi Dartry,
Appreciating your advice about leg bag valves has left me sainging that wonderful song fragment in your signature, packed with memories of poignant evenings knowing someone was getting in trouble and wishing it was me. It really was written by only a 17-year-old? How did he know about facial lines, life's dues and all the other emotions that song evokes at such a ripe age? Who was singing it in the 70s and 80s? Thanks for putting the tune in my head.

Recipe makeovers: 5 ways to create healthy recipes
Can you count your grandmother's beloved bread pudding as a healthy recipe? Scrumptious as it may be with 4 cups of whole milk, one stick of butter and four eggs, you probably wouldn't find it on a list of healthy recipes. But you don't have to remove it from your recipe box. Just modify that bread pudding with a few simple change-ups, and you've got another healthy recipe for your collection -- not a fat and calorie disaster.
In fact, your ingredient substitution talents can help transform many unhealthy recipes into healthy recipes -- and without diminishing the taste or texture of the foods you enjoy.
Here are five techniques you can use to help create healthy recipes. Remember, these are just some examples. Use your imagination and experiment to find other ways to create healthy recipes -- you may even make your grandmother proud.
1. Reduce the amount of fat, sugar and salt
You often can reduce the amount of fat, sugar and salt without sacrificing flavor in healthy recipes. Use these general guidelines:
- Fat. For baked goods, use half the butter, shortening or oil and replace the other half with unsweetened applesauce, mashed banana or prune puree. You can also use commercially prepared fruit-based fat replacers found in the baking aisle of most grocery stores.
- Sugar. Reduce the amount of sugar by one-third to one-half. Instead, add spices such as cinnamon, cloves, allspice and nutmeg, or flavorings such as vanilla extract or almond flavoring to boost sweetness.
- Salt. For most main dishes, salads, soups and other foods, you can reduce the salt by half or even eliminate it. You can reduce salt by half in baked goods that don't require yeast too. For foods that require yeast, you may need to experiment. Some salt may be necessary for leavening to keep baked goods from being too dense or flat.
2. Make a healthy substitution
Healthy substitutions not only reduce the amount of fat, calories and salt in your recipes but also can boost the nutritional content.
- Pasta. Use whole-wheat pasta instead of enriched pasta. You'll triple the fiber and reduce the number of calories.
- Milk. Prepare a dessert with fat-free milk instead of whole milk to save 66 calories and almost 8 grams of fat per cup.
- Meat. When making casseroles, scale back on meat, poultry or fish and increase the amount of vegetables. You'll save on calories and fat while gaining more vitamins, minerals and fiber.
3. Cut back some ingredients
In some recipes, you can eliminate an ingredient altogether or scale back the amount you use.
- Toppings. Eliminate items you generally add out of habit or for appearance, such as frosting, coconut or whipped cream toppings, which are all high in fat and calories.
- Condiments. Cut condiments, such as pickles, olives, butter, mayonnaise, syrup, jelly and mustard, which can have large amounts of salt, sugar, fat and calories. Use low-sodium soy sauce in a smaller amount than a recipe calls for to decrease the amount of salt.
- Cheese. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, use 1/2 cup instead.

Tooling Update
Slug-Retention Machine Prevents Slug Pulling
Tool and die designer and builder DTC Products, a division of Dec Tool Corp., St. Charles, IL, has developed a slug-retention machine that prevents slugs from pulling back onto the die block. The machine uses a pneumatically powered grinder to precisely machine a small angled groove into the sidewall of a stamping-die cavity. A micrometer coupled to the drive of the machine's slide enables precise movement of the machine's carriage to control the depth of the slug-retention groove.
The machined groove creates a precise amount of interference. During stamping, the slugs expand into these grooves, which prevents them from pulling back up to the top of the die block and onto the die surface, where they can damage the strip, the final part or even the die.
This solution helps reduce downtime by eliminating the need to stop the press and remove slugs from the die and stripper surface. It also eliminates the significant costs associated with sorting parts in search of slug marks.
The slug-retention machine measures less than 10 in. high, and features a magnetic base so it can mount temporarily but firmly in place on the die surface during the grooving operation. Use it to also machine grooves into die bushings and die inserts, as well as to vent guided stripper openings. At less than 10 lb., this unit is easily transportable within a sturdy carrying case, so stampers can use it in the toolroom or pressroom to work on dies while mounted in the press. Only a compressed-air connection is required for operation.DTC Products, a division of Dec Tool Corp.: 866/682-3602; www.dectool.com

Last week we kicked off the first instalment of our four-part series following Suunto athlete Åsa Lundström as she prepares for the coming Ironman World Championship in Kona, Hawaii. After looking at step one last week, planning, this week Åsa tells us what progress, step two, looks like as her training intensifies.
There's one crucial sign Åsa looks for to know she's making progress in her training for the Kona Ironman: feeling unbeatable.
"They don't come very often, but every now and then, you should get that moment, if only for a moment, that you are unbeatable," she says. "If I don't ever get those 'I'm on fire today!' moments in my training periods, then something needs changing.
"I don't do tests or anything like that to check I'm in good shape, I just look for signs, a feeling, during the quality sessions I do – it's the feeling of being immortal, unbeatable, strong."

© Orca/Gines Diaz
Having planned her training with her coach Cliff English, it's then time to make rapid progress, to push herself towards her personal best while also ensuring she has enough recovery time.
Åsa's training progresses through three stages: the first is getting into the rhythm of hard training; the second stage involves blocks of quality and quantity sessions; and the last is a tapering period of two weeks before race day.
As Åsa moves through the three stages, her coach Cliff English tracks her performance and makes adjustments to her training as required. Understanding and trust between athlete and coach is essential here.
The longer Cliff works with an athlete, the more data he accumulates, which better helps him track the athlete's performance and recognize when changes must be made. This means both he and Åsa must be sensitive to signs they're pushing too hard or not hard enough.
Click here to read Åsa's 8 open water swimming tips!
"If I start having trouble sleeping, or lose my appetite that could be a sign to back off a bit," Åsa says. "On the other hand, if I never feel exhausted after a quality session, but have an unsatisfying feeling, that could be a sign of not pushing hard enough.
"I am supposed to feel tired between the sessions more or less all the time."
As her training intensifies, Åsa also works on the mental side of her training by spending time visualizing the race, the potential scenarios that could happen and how she would respond to them.
"As race day gets closer, I also stop meeting people who might be sick, or even just have a minor cold," she says. "I skip junk food and unnecessary treats and I make sure I get enough sleep every night."
Stay tuned for third installment of our four part series about Åsa as she makes progress on the road to the Ironman World Championship in Kona.

Managing Your Diabetes: Being Active
Being active is an important part of being healthy, and not just by helping you lose weight. Activity gets your heart rate up, burns calories and strengthens your muscles and bones. That, in turn, lowers blood sugar and cholesterol, improves blood pressure and can improve your mood by lowering stress and anxiety.

Return to Preachers and Teachers
Joyce Meyer was born on June 4, 1943. She is married, has four children, and lives outside of St. Louis, Missouri. She runs the Joyce Meyer Ministries organization (joycemeyer.org). When examining the site's statement of faith we are glad to see an affirmation of the Trinity, that man is a sinner, that without Jesus we can have no relationship with God, that salvation is a free gift, and that eternal hell is a real and serious consequence of sin. However, we are concerned with the statement on "divine healing" because there are so many aberrant groups that also affirm divine healing and also say that when people are sick it is because of sin. This necessitates further study. However, I am not aware of what Meyer's position is on this.
The Joyce Meyer Ministry takes in a great deal of money. She travels in a private jet and has several multimillion dollar homes.
"While Meyer's previous salary is unknown, a recent series of investigative articles in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch revealed Meyer's ministry purchased for Joyce and Dave a $2 million home, a $10 million private jet, and houses worth another $2 million for the couple's children, who also work for the ministry. The articles also outlined Meyer's recent personal purchases, including a $500,000 vacation home. Meyer, 60, lives in Fenton, Missouri, near St. Louis." (1/1/2004, http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2004/januaryweb-only/1-19-13.0.html)
Having a lot or a little money is neither good nor bad. If she has earned it all fairly through her work, fine. Nevertheless, this article will focus on her teaching, not on her finances. Let's take a look at scripture, then Joyce Meyer's teachings.
First, what does the Bible say?
It is necessary that we Christians use biblical discernment when supporting any preacher and teacher of the gospel. It is irrelevant whether or not we like the person, think the person is a good speaker, or if the person says things that are uplifting. Instead, we must be as noble as the Bereans.
- Acts 17:11, "Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so."
- 1 Cor. 4:6, "Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, that in us you might learn not to exceed what is written, in order that no one of you might become arrogant in behalf of one against the other."
If the Bible says that even Paul was checked by scripture, and that we are not to exceed scripture's teaching, then aren't we obligated to judge what Mrs. Meyer says against the word of God? Of course we are. It is not enough to just believe what she says, no matter how good the words are or how well she presents them. Let's not be taken in by a public figure who is confident, assertive, and appears to be biblical. Our duties as Christians include biblical discernment - which can only be done by examining what she says and comparing it with Scripture.
What does Joyce Meyer teach?
For the most part, Joyce Meyer preaches a positive, biblical message that is of great value to many people. We applaud her desire to be biblical, to point women to godly submission and humility, to trusting God, being loving, to have value based on what Christ has done for us, etc. These are all good. However, there are some very significant errors that we need to address. Some of them are so bad that she is outside of biblical orthodoxy and must be considered a false teacher. Let's take a look at what Joyce Meyer has said.
Following is a list of quotes from Joyce Meyer, along with responses.
- Jesus stopped being the Son of God: "He could have helped himself up until the point where he said I commend my spirit into your hands, at that point he couldn't do nothing for himself anymore. He had become sin, he was no longer the Son of God. He was sin." (http://storage.carm.org/joycemeyer/joyce-meyer-Jesus-became-sin-stopped-being-son-of-God.mp3)
- Response: This is heresy. Jesus did not ever stop being the son of God. Essentially what she is saying is that Jesus stopped being divine, the eternal son, second person of the Trinity. This is an attack on the very nature of Christ and it is a dangerous false teaching. Joyce Meyer needs to repent and retract this statement. There is no place in Scripture that says Jesus stopped being the son of God. She's adding to the word of God and placing in the hearts and minds of listeners false doctrine.
- Jesus was born again: "The minute that blood sacrifice was accepted Jesus was the first human being that was ever born again," (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=neKsa_74w7k&feature=related)
- Response: This is just plain wrong. Being born again means to be saved from the wrath of God for a person's sins (Eph. 2:1-3), to have a new birth (John 3:3), and to be regenerated (2 Cor. 5:17). Mrs. Meyer is simply wrong biblically. Why does she teach this? It can only be because she has bought into many of the errors of the Positive Confession movement where many say that Jesus lost his divine nature, went to hell, finished the atonement in hell, and was born again! These are serious errors.
- Jesus paid for our sins in hell: "He became our sacrifice and died on the cross. He did not stay dead. He was in the grave three days. During that time he entered hell, where you and I deserve to go (legally) because of our sin. He paid the price there." (The most important decision you'll ever make, by Joyce Meyer, second printing, may 1993, page 35)
- Response: This is blatantly wrong. Jesus did not pay the price of our redemption in hell. He paid the price on the cross. It was finished on the cross when he said, "It is finished," (John 19:30). Also, consider the following verses:
- Col. 1:20, "and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven."
- Col. 2:14, "having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us and which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross."
- 1 Pet. 2:24, "and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed."
- Jesus went to hell in our place and was tormented: "Jesus paid on the cross and went to hell in my place. Then as God had promised, on the third day Jesus rose from the dead. The scene in the spirit realm went something like this: God rose up from his throne and said to demon powers tormenting the sinless son of God, 'let him go.' Then the resurrection power of Almighty God went through hell and filled Jesus. On earth his grave where they had buried him was filled with light as the power of God filled his body. He was resurrected from the dead -- the first born again man." (The most important decision you'll ever make, by Joyce Meyer, second printing, may 1993, page 36)
- Response: Where does she get this entirely fictitious dialogue between God and the demon powers? It is made up, not founded in scripture, and mistakenly assumes that Jesus went to hell, the place of torment and suffering after he died on the cross. The Bible does not teach any such thing. However, it does say that Jesus descended into the lower parts of the earth (Eph. 4:9). This can mean that Jesus was physically buried, or that Jesus went to Hades to inform those who had already died about who he was and what he did on the cross, or it can be referring to his incarnation as is contrasted with his ascending into heaven (Eph. 4:10). But there is simply no reason to believe that Jesus suffered in hell and finished the atonement there. See response to Quote 1.
- If you don't believe Jesus went to hell, you cannot be saved: "His spirit went to hell because that is where we deserve to go… There is no hope of anyone going to heaven unless they believe this truth." (The most important decision you'll ever make, by Joyce Meyer, second printing, may 1993, page 37)
- Response: This is an amazingly bad statement on her part. She is saying that you cannot be saved from your sins unless you believe that Jesus went to hell where we deserve to go. This is a false modification of the gospel which is found in 1 Cor. 15:1-4 and states that the gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. Nowhere in scripture are we told to believe that Jesus suffered for us in hell or that he went there. This is not only wrong, it is heretical.
- We are called little gods: "I was listening to a set of tapes by one man and he explained it like this..this kind of gets the point across...he said why do people have such a fit about God calling his creation, his creation, his man not his whole creation, but his man, little gods? If he's God what's he going to call them but the God kind? I mean if you as a human being have a baby you call it a human kind. If if [sic] cattle has another cattle they call it cattle kind. I mean what is God supposed to call 'em? Doesn't the Bible say we are created in his image? Now you understand I am not saying you are god with a capital G. That is not the issue here so don't go trying to stone me or yell blasphemy at me." "The Bible says right here John 10:34...'and Jesus answered is it not written in your law I say we are gods.' So men are called God's by the law..."(Joyce Meyer). (www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrP3OLCH9GI&feature=related)
- Response: In this clip she goes on to quote John 10:34 where Jesus says to the Pharisees "you are gods," which is a quote from Psalm 82:6, which is an imprecatory Psalm of condemnation for the unrighteous judges. Psalm 82:7 says, "nevertheless you will die like men." She then turned to Psalm 82 and went through it. The video stopped, so I do not know what she would have said about the next, all-important verse.
- Joyce Meyer said she is not a sinner: "I am not poor. I am not miserable and I am not a sinner. That is a lie from the pit of hell. That is what I were and if I still was then Jesus died in vain. I'm going to tell you something folks. I didn't stop sinning until I finally got it through my thick head I wasn't a sinner anymore. And the religious world thinks that's heresy and they want to hang you for it. But the Bible says that I am righteous and I can't be righteous and be a sinner at the same time." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dmHJdM63hk)
- Response: Mrs. Meyer needs a lesson in basic biblical theology. 1 John 1:8 says, "If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us." Notice that John the apostle says "we." He includes himself with sinners. Also, Paul said in Rom. 7:19-20, 24, "For the good that I wish, I do not do; but I practice the very evil that I do not wish. 20 But if I am doing the very thing I do not wish, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me...24 Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?" Is Joyce Meyer better in Christian character than John and Paul? I think not. Mrs. Meyer fails to recognize her own sinfulness, and so mistakenly denies her own sinfulness. I can only conclude that this false teaching comes from pride because it certainly isn't biblical.
- The host of hell were literally on Jesus and were laughing: "They were having the biggest party that had ever been had. They had my Jesus in the floor and they were standing on his back jumping up and down laughing. And he had become sin. Don't you think that God was pacing, wanting to put a stop to what was going on? All the host of hell were upon him. Upon him. Up on him. The angels were in agony. All the creation is groaning. All the host of hell was upon him. Up on him. They got on him. They got him down in the floor and got on him and they were laughing and mocking. Ha ha ha ha. You trusted God and look where you ended up. You thought he'd save you and get you off that cross. He didn't, ha ha ha." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwNfOaxIcOMhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwNfOaxIcOM)
- Response: Where did she get this - in the sacred Book of Joycemeyeronomy? It is certainly not in the Bible, and yet she has no problem teaching it as an authoritative truth. Does she not know that the Bible says not to exceed what is written (1 Cor. 4:6)? She has done exactly that. She is in grave error and has violated God's word that says that Jesus bore our sins in his body on the cross (1 Pet. 2:24) and finished the atonement on the cross (John 19:30) - not in hell at the hands of demons! There is no way demons were literally standing 'on' Jesus. Meyer is in gross error!
- Joyce Meyer gets revelation knowledge: "The Bible can't even find any way to explain this. Not really that is why you have got to get it by revelation. There are no words to explain what I am telling you. I have got to just trust God that he is putting it into your spirit like he put it into mine." (http://storage.carm.org/audio/joycemeyer/joyce-meyer-revelation-knowledge.mp3)
- Response: Revelation knowledge? Is she on par with the apostles who received revelation knowledge from God himself? Or how about the Old Testament prophets? Does she, like them, also receive revelation knowledge from God? If so, how would we know if it were true or not? The answer is simple: we test what she says against Scripture, and it is obvious that she is getting a lot of things from somewhere else that contradict the word of God.
Joyce Meyer is a preacher
As unpopular as it might be to say, Joyce Meyer is wrong for occupying the position of a preacher of God's word. Not only does she preach false doctrines, but she also functions as a preacher by teaching God's word, exegeting it, applying it, and telling people what to believe - in public. She is out of place for doing this. She speaks as a minister of the gospel teaching with authority. She needs to stop. If you doubt this, and if you also believe the word of God, then please see the article Should women be pastors and elders?
On 11/29/2011, CARM called the Joyce Meyer Ministries in Mo., and spoke to a man who directed us to the website, contact info, and how to submit an email. We told him about CARM and the issues that we wanted to discuss regarding her teachings. He again pointed us to the website and we were told that someone would contact us. At the website we submitted this email to them via their form at http://www.joycemeyer.org/MediaRelations/MediaRelatedInquiry.aspx on 11/29/2011.
I'm Rev. Matt Slick, the president of the Christian Apologetics & Research Ministry, carm.org. CARM is a very large and popular apologetics site (1.3 million monthly page views). I'm doing research on Joyce Meyer and her teachings and have serious concerns about some of the things she has taught. Instead of writing articles based on information from years ago, I would very much like to submit a list of questions to her (and/or interview her) regarding Christian theology, soteriology, and christology to find out what her present views are. I can submit a list of questions so as to get the most current teachings she has in these areas. The information would then be used on the CARM.org website, radio show, and books. I want accurate information so as to not misrepresent Mrs. Meyer in anyway. Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response. Rev. Matt Slick, M.Div. President, carm.org.
We have yet to hear back from them.

Francis A. Boyle on US Strategy for Color Revolution in Iran
: A continuity of American policy under Bush and Cheney
Produced by Dori Smith, Storrs, CT
Download at Pacifica's Audioport here or at Radio4all.net and Archive.org.
Is the US running a covert operation in Iran designed to promote a color revolution as a way to bring about regime change? We asked international law expert Francis A. Boyle. According to Professor Boyle, the Obama administration is likely trying this policy out prior to implementing other strategies, and notes that the people working on the region now are maintaining continuity with previous administration. The U.S. may well delay diplomatic talks at least for now.
We hear about Obama's MidEast advisory team and discuss what the events in Iran mean in context with US policy.
Francis A. Boyle is a scholar in the areas of international law and human rights, Professor Boyle received a J.D. degree magna cum laude and A.M. and Ph.D. degrees in political science from Harvard University. Prior to joining the faculty at the College of Law, he was a teaching fellow at Harvard and an associate at its Center for International Affairs. His latest book for 2009 is, Tackling America's Toughest Questions, Znet.com interview. (More below.)
Under former President Bush and Vice President Cheney the US was supporting opposition candidates, and in 2007 Bush authorized a covert "black" operation to destabilize the Iranian government, according to ABCNews.com. You can read a May 22, 2007 report about the operation in www.Global Research.ca.
Questions about Iran's election results persist and they are more specific now that the Guardian Council there has released more of the numbers. Professor Ali Ansari, Daniel Berman and Thomas Rintoul, have written a report for the London think tank, Chatham House questioning the result of 13 million more votes for Ahmandinejad. The report notes that two districts produced more votes than eligible voters. A joint BBC and ABC News poll taken before the election did predict an 89 percent turnout with Ahmandinejad the winner by two to one over leading contender Mir Hossein Mousavi. The poll was taken by the Center for Public Opinion of the New America Foundation.
Former State Department, NSC, and CIA official Flynt Leverett is now with the New America Foundation and he has said he finds the Ahmandinijad win credible, even if the election was imperfect.
The US press has largely covered political controversy surrounding President Barack Obama's reaction to violence against election protesters in Iran. And some of the details of the election itself have not been well analyzed. For example, opposition candidates declined a proposed ten percent recount early on. (Note, the ten percent election review standard is also used in various US states including Connecticut, which uses it for audits.)
A spokesperson for opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi, told al-Jazeera only a fresh election would do. And on Tuesday June 23rd the opposition was offered a five day extension to a deadline for looking into election complaints. It is not clear if the extension was accepted, but there was something of an answer in large street protests called by two remaining opposition candidates, Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi.
Dozens of people have been killed during street protests though reports on the numbers vary widely. [See this report in Al Jazeera, English.]
At a press conference Tuesday June 23rd President Obama responded to questions about a video depicting the death of Neda Agha Soltan. She appears to have been shot by government troops during a protest in Tehran June 20th.
BACKGROUND: By 2006, US journalists and scholars like Dahr Jamail, Seymour Hersh and Francis A. Boyle, were expressing concern that the Bush administration's policy of regime change for Iran would include a military attack, likely conducted with Israel.
The University of Southern California's Muhammad Sahimi provides a detailed overview of the political climate in Iran in 2006 in a report titled: The Neoconservatives' Strategy for Regime Change in Iran. He argues that US efforts to use the Persian Press to build up opposition candidates in Tehran would likely be seen as propaganda. But there were other operations that seemed far more ominous.
Guy Dinmore reported in the Financial Times of London that the US Marine intelligence wing had launched a probe into Iran's ethnic minorities, and were searching for any grievances against the Islamic Government that could be exploited. The Pentagon was studying whether like Iraq, Iran might be prone to violent fragmentation along ethnic lines.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, carried out a well funded operation on behalf of the International Republican Institute. The institute had historically been used to funnel money from the National Endowment for Democracy into foreign aid projects.
In August of 2003, former CIA agent Philip Agee, tied the International Republican Institute to both the National Endownment for Democracy and the CIA.
Elizabeth Cheney had gone to Iran on an overt operation on behalf of the US State Department and MEPI, the Iran Middle East Partnership Initiative, as well as ISOG, the Iran Syria Policy and Operations Group. In that capacity she had millions of US dollars at her disposal for propaganda using radio outlets like the US owned Radio Farda and Voice of America.
The US continued its covert operations at the Iraq/Iran border, even using the Mujahideen-e-Khalq (MEK) [also spelled: 'Mojahedin Khalgh Organization' or 'MKO'] which had been listed as a terrorist organization by the US State Dept. [See also, Jeremy R. Hammond, Foreign Policy Journal, 'Has the U.S. Played a Role in Fomenting Unrest During Iran's Election?' and also, Biden Vows to Continue Bush Policy Towards Iran, by Jeremy R. Hammond.]
The US and Europe also declassified the MEK as a terrorist organization, leading some to wonder about possible ongoing intelligence roles involving the group.
Members of Congress have been arguing for military attacks on Iran, and have set forth numerous bills that would effectively place America on a war footing with Iran.
See this piece too on the vote count in Iran.
'A Hard Look at the Numbers', By Esam AL-Amin, Counterpunch.
Francis A. Boyle practiced tax and international tax with Bingham, Dana & Gould in Boston. He has written and lectured extensively in the United States and abroad on the relationship between international law and politics. His eleventh book, Breaking All the Rules: Palestine, Iraq, Iran and the Case for Impeachment was recently published by Clarity Press.

A meaty whiff of phoney-baloney rises from this extremely contrived and incredibly preposterous movie, a mawkish, precious and bizarre fantasy of emotional pain. It is adapted by Eric Roth from the bestselling novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, about a hyper-intelligent, hyperactive 11-year-old boy who is on a mission to discover a secret about his beloved dad, killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Thomas Horn plays Oskar, who speaks throughout in the teeny-tiny quiet little voice pioneered by Haley Joel Osment in The Sixth Sense. Tom Hanks is the bespectacled, saintly father who cheerfully encouraged his son's precocious interests in science, nature and exploring; his uncomplicated personality is witnessed in flashback. Sandra Bullock plays the quietly devastated mom, keeping it together.
Oskar is haunted by the desperate phone messages his father left on the answering machine in their New York apartment as he was stuck up there in the World Trade Centre on that terrible day; he converts his anguish into a fanatical obsession with a mysterious key in an envelope with the surname "Black" that he discovers in his late father's closet. He goes on a colossally strenuous quest to track down everyone in the New York phone book with the surname Black, to ask them if they have a lock that this key fits, to write down their responses, and to uncover some final crucial secret that will somehow resolve his pain. Oskar takes along with him a mysterious old mute guy played by Max von Sydow, a tenant of his grandmother's – a man whose backstory, manners and character are as tiresomely unconvincing as everything else in the film. The poor child's task is exhausting and apparently futile as he goes around asking questions, taking photos and writing stuff down but, of course, his journey generates a redemptive vernacular archive of New Yorkers' experiences. ("So many of them had lost somebody or something, mom!")
Oskar's elaborately dysfunctional mannerisms are a way of allowing the drama to tackle, head-on, the day-to-day pain of 9/11 bereavement, with a quasi-adult observational acuity and a child's energy and tactlessness, but avoiding the danger of being capsized by all the emotional and intellectual implications. But the film declines to confirm whether Oskar specifically suffers from autism or Asperger's; it's revealed that "tests" were carried out on him, but that they were not "definitive".
You could well be struck by the resemblances to Martin Scorsese's Hugo, also about a key and a father figure. I found myself thinking how much it resembled the humorous and consciously absurd vision of Michel Gondry, only quite without the humour and the conscious absurdity. Gondry often evokes the same elaborate, homemade worlds of lonely boys, but the physical impossibility, or at any rate implausibility, of what they are making is an important comic effect: tiny granules of audience incredulity are part of the recipe. Here, we are not supposed to be sceptically amused by Oskar's handiwork and quixotic determination, but very clearly awestruck and humbled and emotionally exalted. Oskar, on his weekends, and presumably with chores and homework to take care of, has somehow had the time and energy to journey across the five boroughs of New York and talk to all these people, and create all these little maps and models.
The poor child is desperate to make sense of this menacing, bewildering world. At the end of her tether, his mother yells at him: "Not everything makes sense! I don't know why a man flew a plane into a building!" Now, she may well already have sat Oskar down and talked to him seriously about the reasons for 9/11. He is clearly smart enough to understand. Or she may consider the 9/11 attacks meaningless, and there is a respectable argument that they were rooted far more in malign psychological anarchy and pure hate than in activism for any clear cause. But the unhappy effect is further to surround 9/11 with a wilfully obtuse and depoliticised adult-infantilism and self-absorption. The film offers a historical perspective with a reference to the destruction of Dresden – where Oskar's grandparents are supposed to be from – but this history is evoked in just the same shallow and incurious way.
Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close looks on screen not unlike those sugary family-drama bestsellers by Nicholas Sparks, like Message in a Bottle and The Notebook, stories that turn on glutinously sentimental messages from a lost beloved who turns out to be not so lost after all.
There is just one moment here that resembles real life: when Oskar angrily turns on his mother and tells her he wishes it was her, and not his dad, who was killed on "the worst day". That moment of pain is hurriedly smoothed away, but it is a flash of something that an actual human being might say to another, and very different from anything else in this intensely self-conscious movie that contrives to make the human cost and human meaning of 9/11 distant and faint.

thunderjet necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
Need a simple but powerful graphic design for a company logo. Will be used on website, emails, letterhead paper, business cards, etc.
Triggers Consulting Group, LLC
Graphic design should be based on a gun trigger, to denote "pulling the trigger," i.e., actually taking action. Our company consults with small and medium sized businesses of all types, where typically the biggest problem they have is actually "doing something." They call us in to help them decide what to do, but we see many clients pay good money for our analysis and advice, then "lock up" and do nothing. Our business model is based on inspiring and influencing our clients to actually take action (pull the trigger) when the time is right--not sit there afraid to do anything.
- We need a simple yet powerful design that incorporates both the "gun trigger" image and the company name.
- We're inclined towards a single color (or a couple variations of the same color group) for the design, but ARE NOT insistent on this if you have a better idea. We are open to the design color, but lean toward a color(s) in the blue range.
- Blends or gradients are acceptable, as long as they do not dilute the overall effect of the design's power.
- The most important design aspect, again, is that the logo convey power.
We do not want a complicated design. This will make it too difficult to read and seriously detract from the powerful effect we desire.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
Superman was a fictional comic book character and superhero created in the 20th century on Earth. Superman was considered an American cultural icon and many books, television programs, and films were based on this character.
When Malcolm Reed and Trip Tucker were waiting for rescue in their disabled shuttlepod, Reed told Tucker that North Americans must read nothing but comic books. Tucker replied that Superman was "laced with metaphor. Subtext layered on subtext." (ENT: "Shuttlepod One")
In the alternate reality, in the year 2259, Doctor McCoy referred to Khan as a "Superman" (though it is more likely that he was using the noun as Friedrich Nietzsche did). (Star Trek Into Darkness)

Background information Edit
Many Star Trek actors have appeared on TV incarnations of Superman, and a few have made appearances in the movies as well. Superman animated cartoons of the 1940s, the first appearances of that franchise in film, were produced by Paramount Pictures.
A Starfleet carry case was sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay. As an inside gag, an inventory application on this case has the line "Don't tug on Superman's cape. Don't spit into the wind. Don't pull the mask off the old Lone Ranger and you don't mess around with Jim." [1]
Apocrypha Edit
Superman appears in Star Trek - Legion of Super-Heroes #3 as a flashback during an explanation of the United Planets in comparison to the United Federation of Planets.

Due to reasons that could not be foreseen from the outset, the depot in Orheyev could not continue operations, and many of our members transferred to the depots in Bukovina. However, many remained who did not have the financial means to travel there. For those people, it was necessary to create Hachsharah opportunities in our region.
The agronomist Feigin directed us to Azriel Bolochnik from the village of Kriulyany. With his assistance we reached an agreement with the landowner Sheftilul to establish a Hachsharah depot on his estate. Our pioneers moved to Kriulyany, and other members from that place joined them (Yehudit Berliand, Mendel Trafzin, Chasya Krashkovitz and others). We ended up with 48 members, and we worked there until the end of the autumn.
On account of the proximity of the village to the Dniester, the government suspected us and investigated our legitimacy from time to time. A few of our members were arrested for interrogation, and were freed thanks only to the intercession of the landowner. This caused a waste of time and interruptions. We overcame all obstacles, and our turn came for aliya, but then an additional obstacle came to the fore. The aliya center in Kishinev found that the Hebrew fluency of several of our members was insufficient, so they did not authorize their aliya. All of our explanation that it was improper to require from our members, who were mainly workers, the same level of fluency as the studying youth did not succeed. Only after the aliya of our first group in 1934 did I succeed in convincing the secretariat of the Kibbutz Hameuchad to send emissaries to Bessarabia to prepare members for aliya.

The last of our members made aliya in 1939 before the outbreak of the Second World War.
[Pages 73-74]
After a short while, we received the news that we would shortly set out for the Land of Israel. The joy was great. We were five people from Orheyev who joined the group that was departing. I will not forget the day that I took leave of the city. It was a winter day. We rented wagons, loaded our baggage, and left. Moshe Kalmanovitz and Zionists from the city stood on the big bridge. Leib Stolyar poured water, and we took leave of them with blessings of success, and wishes to see each other in the Land.
We arrived in Kishinev and joined up with a larger group of pioneers. This was the sixth group of 180 people. We set out for Galati and waited for a boat that was going to Kushta. There in Galati, we were set up in the building of Beit Hechalutz until we received news about the departure. When we arrived in Kushta, we received news that we had received our certificates. Our joy was boundless, and we began to prepare for the journey with great joy. We embarked upon an Italian boat, received food from the Joint and the committee of delegates of the Land of Israel. The journey lasted for two weeks. We suffered no small amount from lack of food, but we overcame. The hope to see the Land shortly increased our strength. As we drew near and arrived in Beirut, Arabs ascended the boat and told us that there were disturbances in the Land, and many Jews were killed. They continued on and told us that we would also be slaughtered the moment we reached Haifa. We immediately gathered in the belly of the ship and declared a state of emergency. We decided not to lose spirit, and to make additional efforts to reach the Land, even if it would require sacrifice. We gathered weapons that were with us. These included scrap metal and even empty bottles, since there were almost no weapons. When we arrived in Haifa, boats of the port came to greet us with a member of the committee of delegates and the captain Dov Hoz. They told us about the disturbances and the murder of Brenner and his family, the Beit Chalutz that was destroyed, and the 38 pioneers that were murdered. They also told us that the English government, via the Jewish commissioner, forbade all immigration to the Land in order not to arouse the wrath of the Arabs, so we must sail on to an unknown destination. The news crushed us. We were dejected, without any recourse.
We sailed to Egypt. We remained in Alexandria for three days, and nobody was permitted to approach the boat. By chance I made contact with one Jew, and I asked him to inform the Zionist committee or the communal council about our situation, and to request help. Immediately, representatives of the Joint and the communal council arrived, and brought us food. The Chief Rabbi interceded with the governor, and they agreed to let us off the boat. We were brought to the well-known quarantine area in Alexandria. We suffered a bit from lack of food, but the most important thing was the freedom that we had there. We were able to arrange our baggage and wash our clothes. After a few days, the governor issued an order to send us back on a boat, but not the same boat. It was rather a small boat, filled with merchandise. We were informed that we were being returned to Kushta. We suffered greatly from hunger since there was almost no food. On the boat, we found grains of corn and onions in the storehouses, which we feasted upon. We reached Kushta after four days. We were received by the committee of delegates, and put up on the Jewish settlement of the I. C. A. (ed. note: Jewish Colonization Association). We began everything from scratch. We erected tents, set up a kitchen, and everything went properly. We organized a collective life. Some of us worked in fields as farmers, and others worked in the forests. The girls worked in the kitchen and other utilities. We received comforting news from the Land. Life there was becoming quieter. We were informed that soon an English Major would come to check that there were no communists among us. The first examination went successfully. Forty of us received aliya permits, including me and the others from my city. The joy was great. We would finally be able to achieve the awaited objective. We reached Haifa after a brief period. This time we were greeted by family members and people from Orheyev, including Moshe Roitman. We disembarked from the boat that day and we were sent to quarantine outside the city. We spent about ten days in tents. Acquaintances and relatives visited us daily, and brought us good things and Israeli newspapers. We were organized into groups when we left quarantine. Our group, including Moshe Roitman, joined the group of the Haifa port, which was headed by Berel Repetur. We received various jobs, including the unloading of heavy railway links and coal from ships. The heat was great, and bothered us no small amount. There was no water at the port. The work was grueling and tiring. We worked diligently and overcame everything. The contractors gave us large quantities of work, and we filled their demands. The Arab porters were not able to stand up to the competition, and we thereby took over the work in the port. After some time, we obtained beasts of burden. A group of wagon drivers also was transferred to us. The aliya increased, the settlement increased, and Haifa became a city with a large and organized Hebrew settlement. Moshe Roitman finally left the work in the port, and purchased a store for the sale of meat. At that time, riots again broke out in the Land (1929). Roitman fell victim during the riots at the hands of a co-professional. Thousands of people participated in his funeral, but the English would not permit us to travel to the cemetery. Only several friends, myself included, received permission, and accompanied our friend to the communal grave in Lower Haifa.
