The author titles the play, The Progress ironically. He laughs at the attitude of war-mongers and the scientists who believe that they are contributing to the progress of science by inventing deadly weapons.
In Professor Corrie, the playwright has created a self-centered scientist aged between fifty and sixty who is a confirmed bachelor. His sole interest in life is his scientific experiments. He captivates our attention from the beginning till the end of the play. His wolfish snarls and physical features, speak a lot about his inhuman behaviour.
A Wicked Person
He felt pleasure in destruction. He wanted to make the wars horrible. He invented a dangerous bomb full of corrosive gas, which could obliterate whole cities within no time. He wished to make the war so horrible that no nation will engage in one unless absolutely driven to it. He said:
"With a single bomb, we could wipe out the population of a city as a big as Manchestar."
As A Reputed Scientist
There is no doubt that Professor Corrie is a great scientist, who is extremely dedicated and devoted in his scientific experiments. When the curtain goes up, we find Professor Corrie engrossed in his experiment. His experiment is a success and he has succeeded in inventing a lethal and devastating bomb, which is so powerful that according to him:
"I've discovered a combination of explosives and gases that will obliterate thousands at once! Thousands."
The above quoted words show the deep faith Corrie has in the destructive quality of the bomb and his cruel nature and inhuman behaviour.
As A Self-Willed Person
Professor Corrie is an extremely selfish and self-willed person. He is out and out a materialist. He has discovered the formula of the bomb to earn fame and fortune. He is delighted at the thought that his invention would make him famous and well-known all over the world. He did not care about the feeling of his sister wanted her rejoices his invention. He wished her to forget her tragedy and suggested taking a broad point of view. She must imagine herself a statesman. He said:
"Oh, a mother's feelings, of course, but look at the matter from a broad point of view. Put you own feelings aside."
As An Unpatriotic Person
Professor Corrie is crazy and unpatriotic. He wants to sell the formula of the bomb, to any government, which would pay him the highest price. As he says:
"I shall offer it first to the British Government, of course, but if they won't pay my price, I shall offer it to somebody else."
The above lines speak of his unpatriotism and greed for money.
As A Cruel And Heartless Person
Professor Corrie possesses a very cruel disposition. His eyes reflect the coldness and seriousness of his character. He is a devil in human form. To him human beings are of no consequence. Even his sister, Mrs. Meldon's grief has no effect on him. Although he is aware that his sister is emotionally shattered by the death of her son, Eddie, yet he does not comfort or console her, at her tragic loss.
As An Enemy of Women
Professor Corrie is cynical about women and has a poor opinion of them. He thinks that women lack in concentration and have a fussy and talkative nature. That is why they are not very often crowned with success. According to him:
"Your sex is most extraordinary, Charlotte. Always willing to break off things, for other things. No application, no concentration, no capability for complete impersonal devotion."
Corrie's Desire For Immortality
Corrie was mad for immortality. That is why he invented the bomb. He hopes:
"This will bring fame and fortune to me. I shall be rich and now but more than that I shall be famous. My name will live forever."
Corrie's Tragic End
Mrs. Meldon is absolutely horrified, when she learns of his terrible invention. She repeatedly requested him to destroy the formula of the bomb. She says:
"Henry, I beg you to destroy your invention."
Professor Corrie pays no attention to her, so Mrs. Meldon, in a state of frenzy, drove a sharp knife in his back. Corrie falls on his face, dead cold. Thus the curtain draws on the play, with his tragic end.

Tiger Woods admits he is "winging it" ahead of his latest comeback, but still harbours ambitions to remind his kids and a new generation of rivals that he is more than "the YouTube golfer".
Woods has started just three events since August 2015 and withdrew from his most recent tournament in February in Dubai after an opening 77.
The 14-time major winner subsequently underwent spinal fusion surgery in April, his fourth back operation in the space of three years, but will return to action in this week's Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas.
"This surgery was about quality of life because I didn't really have much," Woods told a pre-tournament press conference ahead of the 10th comeback after an absence of 10 weeks or more in his career.
"I've been in bed for about two years and haven't been able to do much. The neatest thing for me is to be able to get out of bed and I can grab a club and not use it as a crutch.
"This is very different because last year I was still struggling with the pain. I was able to hit some good shots but, looking back on it, I look like I was playing in slo-mo.
"I didn't realise how bad my back had become because it's been a slow degrading process.
"I'm winging this because I don't know what my body can and can't do yet. I don't have any pain any more in my back but I do have some stiffness. Like 'D'uh', it's fused. So just give me a little bit of time.
"I was talking to my surgeon (about) how long will this fused back hold up, but he said you'll be fine for the rest of your life. It's bone and bone, you're fine.
"How hard is it to break a leg? It's not easy and it's not easy to break that part of your back. It's still trying to sink in that I can start doing things like that, being more athletic. There's still some apprehension going forward, no doubt. This week is a big step for me."
Former world No.1 Woods is currently ranked 1,199th and is a 40/1 outsider in the 18-man field, which features several players who grew up as some of his biggest fans.
The likes of US PGA champion Justin Thomas, who will partner Woods in Thursday's first round, only turned professional in 2013, the year of Woods' last tournament win.
"In an ideal world, I would like to have them feel what some of my past guys had to go against all those years," added Woods, who has become friends with Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Dustin Johnson through vice-captaincy roles in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup.
"I'd like them to feel that same way."
Woods also wants his children Charlie and Sam to see first-hand how good he is, especially after Sam's comment earlier this year when being introduced to Lionel Messi.
"I said, 'Ain't it neat to meet a living legend' and she said, 'Yeah we live with one,"' Woods added.
"I never thought my kids understood what I'd been able to do in the game of golf because they always think I'm the YouTube golfer. They've never seen me in action. Charlie was there at Akron when I won last time, but he doesn't really remember it.
"I want them to see what I've been able to do my entire career. I don't know how long I'm going to be playing.
"I want them to come to a few events, feel it, understand it a bit more, kind of what Jack (Nicklaus) did with his kids, have Jackie [his son] carry the bag at Augusta."
Asked if he could still be better than the "YouTube legend", Woods joked: "That's gonna be hard. I mean I was pretty good! They show only my good shots, they don't show many bad shots in my highlights."

The title of Our Lady of the Atonement is tied intimately to our own country in a way which cannot be said of any other title of the Blessed Virgin. In fact, Our Lady of the Atonement is known in Rome as the "American Madonna" for a variety of reasons.
First, this title had its origins in this country, at Graymoor, New York. Also, her colors are our national colors: red, white, and blue. Additionally, the birthday of our country always falls within the Novena to Our Lady of the Atonement, reminding us to pray for our nation, so that all may know that our hope and strength come from what is represented in this image of the Blessed Virgin: namely, the loving Mother of God, offering to us her divine Son, who holds in His hands the holy Cross as the means of our salvation.

Sorry for the lapse in updates, but life has been crazy between work and raising a four-month-old baby! Five months is right around the corner, and before we know it, we will be celebrating little Sophia's first birthday!
Here is Sophia and her long legs at four months.
We have quite a few updates as well:
- Sophia is such a morning baby. In the mornings, she will sit in bed talking to herself. And girlfriend sure has lots to say!
- She is dra.ma.tic. We have to be careful because she likes to fling herself backwards when she cries.
- She's also a genius. Well, genius might be pushing it, but she is a very smart baby. Sophia's cries are unstoppable when she is hungry except when we give her a bath. She knows that she gets to eat as soon as her bath is over, so we usually have a happy baby during bath time. She also hates her pacifier. Sophia has changed the way she cries so that we cannot get the pacifier in her mouth! And she knows that the rocking chair means bed time. We literally cannot sit on the rocker without her screaming unless she is on the verge of passing out.
- Sophia is very timid. Everything scares her. And I mean everything. She is scared of the dark, loud or sudden noises, her cookie jar toy, the sound of the door opening, the squeak of her Sophie the Giraffe...you get the point.
- The Aden and Anais blankets are her favorite. She's always clutching one.
- I'm looking forward to sharing the holiday season with Sophia. Next weekend we plan on taking her to the pumpkin patch! And I already have a running list of seasonal outfits for this precious girl that may or may not cost a small fortune...
- Sophia attended her first wedding recently, and she loved it. I had visions of her screaming during the ceremony, but she sat happily in my lap and sucked on her dress.
I hope to continue updating on a more regular basis. Johnny and I are taking a little vacation from work to take Sophia to Baylor Homecoming {SIC 'EM!!} and visit his family in a couple weeks. It'll be the first time Johnny has had time off from work since before Sophia was born! I know we are both looking forward to a little rest and time with Sophia before the crazy holiday season starts at work.
Little Sophia celebrating mommy's birthday.
Ruffle bottom!

My hard work and determination really paid off this week!!
I'm not going to lie, last week I was a bit disappointed with my weight loss. 1.6 is not going to cut it if I want to lose 100 pounds by Disneyland on April 20th. So I decided this week was going to be boot camp for me. I set my goals on Friday to do the following: eat more veggies and a bit less fruit (I ate my fruit in the morning and veggies at night), I cut out restaurant's 100%, worked out following my trainers regimen, drank lots of water and thought positive thoughts all week! It felt like it was going really well! I was always satisfied and didn't have any sore muscles from my work outs. The results...an astonishing 6 pounds!!! I was completely thrilled!!!! I feel like I earned every pound of that weight loss! I can't wait to tell my trainer! Thanks to all my supportive friends and family, as always, you keep me strong!

Cinemalphabet: T is for Taken (2008)
I have carried a slow burning torch for Liam Neeson since the late 80s when I first spied him as the disabled homeless man Carl falsely accused of murder (this reveals no spoilers about the film) in the 1987 stellar thriller Suspect, which starred CHER!!! Cher should have snagged her Oscar for THIS role! In addition, I have often wondered why Neeson's brilliant and nuanced performance of a disable person – in a year which also saw the release of Marlee Matlin's tour-de-force in Children of a Lesser God was not recognized by the Oscars. Thankfully, Matlin's was. The studied vulnerability that characterizes most Neeson performances – Save Batman Begins has long made him a fave, coupled with the fact he never bothers cultivating appropriate accents for any character he plays! It takes a lot of cheek to rock Alfred Kinney or Hannibal with a lovely Irish lilt.
I'll admit to being less than impressed with Neeson's work in Batman Begins, particularly because I didn't think he was the right actor for the role. Sure, the role required gravitas and Neeson has it to boot, but somehow I was left unsatisfied. At the time I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong; Neeson was quite entertaining. I really like seeing male actors north of 6'2 not playing lumbering lugs or portrayed as devoid of gracefulness. Some of it might have been the bizarre Bond Villain framing of the character, which definitely makes Neeson a front runner (in my book) for a smashing Bond Villain, but left a lot to be desired in Batman Begins. In any case, while I can't immediately think of actor who I might have liked better, at the time Neeson didn't do it for me in that role.
What did, however, do it for me was Neeson as an action hero. Why it took Hollywood so long to pair this actor with the right action vehicle is beyond me. The way Neeson can lock his jaw into steely resolve and display more pathos by simply straining his neck muscles than most actors can with their entire body makes him action hero worthy in my book. And I'll be honest, I stayed away from Taken due to some valid criticism I'd read about its framing of white femininity as solely worthy of saving and the films depiction of non white men as slavishly and sinisterly addicted to that sweet, sweet, white girl meat. And seriously, how many films do we need with that kind of foolishness?
That said, after the viewing film (which um, I FUCKING LOVE LIKE WHOA, while noting the problematic elements, which are chiefly thematic in nature) I came away feeling a bit differently about the way in which white femininity is presented and not sold on the entirety of criticism, which had kept me away. Here are my thoughts (briefly) on the whiteness problem: it's a problem, it's wholly unnecessary to the successful execution of the film's story and I wholeheartedly support anyone who would side-eye the film for it. I have given this film a lot of thought with the regard to this problem and at the same time, I will admit, that what I found equally frustrating is how every single female in the film is painted with the same "chucklehead" brush. I'm okay with not being a "good" feminist for finding this film satisfying or watching it at least once a week.
I own my pop culture consumption choices and am aware that enjoying films with problematic content – even while noting said content – doesn't absolve me of responsibility or diminish the costs of consuming the content. Let me be clear: Those whom find the whiteness framing of beauty worth saving a valid reason to dismiss the film I SUPPORT THAT CRITIQUE. Folks are on point with that criticism and I am WITH THEM on that point. Again, I don't feel as strongly about its use in this film, but that doesn't MEAN I DON'T FIND IT PROBLEMATIC; I DO!
Whew, now that we done got that out the way, let's talk about what I think works about this film and why I really like it.
Taken marks a return – from a cinematic (not a thematic) standpoint – of the type of action film I enjoy: one that is efficient in exposition, judicious with backstory, brief on running time and HEAVY on action. Action films of late – and both recent Batman films are notable examples – take way too long setting up the scene as though anyone viewing would be unfamiliar of the elements of the action genre. Action films should be by default, all about some action. Sepia tone backstory ought be reserved for Blu-Ray disc two extras. As an action film fanatic I don't give two hot Bruckheimer fucks about the genesis of the protagonist's bad marriage, bad luck or bad temper. I just want to see that motherfucker kicking some ass. And Taken delivers in this regard. Everything I need to know about Neeson's character, his relationship to others in the film and the central conflict are detailed in a swift, engaging exposition. The film never doubles back on itself and like the cinematic shark it is, it just keeps moving forward to its inevitable and satisfying conclusion. Not one single frame of ass kicking, head knocking and bone breaking action is wasted. Dialog is sparse; words are only used when eye gouging isn't appropriate.
This is where having a brilliant actor like Neeson is helpful. Neeson can reveal every bit of motivation a scene requires with a knitted brow – he should have a sweater by now – or a pause or pulsating neck tendon; Neeson shows and never tells. Wanna know his thoughts on human trafficking: watch him kick down every door in every hideout and beat down every trafficking thug in Europe! Is he serious? You betcha and he'll prove it by shooting someone innocent in the leg to compel their spouse to give up the deets. Of course, he'll apologize profusely and thank you for the lovely dinner. After all we're talking about the gentlemanly Neeson here, not Bruce Willis!

Thanks for the great summation of why I liked this despite its obvious flaws.
It was particularly hard for me to think about this critically since I saw it with my Christian fundamentalist mother in law, who is as blood thirsty as they come. She loved it unabashedly : )

LRP celebrates an impressive comeback with the Flow WorksTeam and Flow Competition high-end brushless speed controls. In two years of hard work LRP did it again: another revolution in brushless technology and a new benchmark in high-performance speed controls is ready to conquer the market.
The new Flow speedos are based on a completely new platform, designed from scratch. They replace the existing three SXX Version 2 speedos. Racers can use the Flow speedos for modified and stock racing, for both classes it offers a multitude of setup options.
Optimised cooling, extremely high power output over the entire RPM range and simple but flexible adjustability are only some of the highlights that make the new LRP Flow speedos stand out. The unique software, a heavy copper 8-layer powerboard and the compact 2-piece machined aluminum housing have been never seen before in a brushless competition speed control. Its construction from thermo-conductive aluminium makes the case highly efficient for cooling. LRP is sure that the success story of the LRP SXX speed controls with their uncountable World, European and National Championship titles will continue with the new LRP Flow. The LRP Flow WorksTeam and Flow Competition are the most powerful LRP brushless speed controls ever. Let the energy flow!
The chase for the titles is running!

Mr. Speaker, when government runs health care, senior citizens sometimes are refused treatment because of their age. In Sweden, an 83-year-old woman was refused medical surgery by the government-run hospital. They said she was just too old for treatment. Marianne Skogh had pain and numbness in her legs for 5 years. She waited more than a year trying to get approval for back surgery to cure the problem. She was rejected by the government. Without the operation, she would be living in incredible turmoil. She said, "What kind of life is that?"
Despite her long wait, Marianne was told her ailment was treatable but she was just too old for surgery. The government-run hospital said since she had previous heart surgery, they were denying her the back surgery. They told her just to take some pain pills. When the pain pills didn't help, the government still wouldn't let her have the surgery. Marianne ended up paying for the operation herself with some private funds and funds she received from friends. She's now pain-free.
Government-run health care lets bureaucrats decide who receives rationed care and who doesn't, who lives and who just dies.
And that's just the way it is.

An unsolicited quote, "No Information" tier security listed on the OTC marketplace, imploded in December 2010 and became an empty shell. During which time the shell owner raised the AS to 15 billion shares and continued to dilute the shell to nothing. On March 31st of 2011 the DTCC applied a chill to the BEHL shell not allowing the deposit and transfer of shares through the DTC of BEHL shares. This only affected the issuance of new shares using DTC services. Recently the SEC has filed a complaint against one of the Toxic financiers of BEHL who sold unregistered shares into the market after BEHL sold them at a high discount rate. This complaint has now resulted in a DTCC Suspension of all services and placed a Global Lock on BEHL shares preventing deposits at any broker and no transfers.

Marc Whitten has today revealed an impressive new sharing structure in Microsoft's current campaign to re-vitalize the Xbox One's features and policies–a campaign that was set into motion with the company shifting gears on its DRM policies.
The structure is centered on sharing and is formally known as Home Gold, and expands upon the Xbox One's previous friends-and-family sharing policies.
"Our goal is for Xbox One to be the hub for games and entertainment in your living room. It's a future where everyone in your home has a personalized account with all the content they love front and center.
To do that, we had to think about how the system would work and thrive in one of the busiest rooms in the house that many people share. We wanted to create a system that was highly personalized but also social.
It's about celebrating your individual tastes but also making it welcoming and easy for people to share. Here's what that looks like."
The new update highlights the varied elements of Home Gold while giving brief examples of the policy's social functionality and flexibility, which point to some exciting features for Xbox One gamers:
"Everyone in your home can share digital games with each other. Your Xbox One can become your virtual game library filled with digital games that different people in the home bought.
"Anyone can pick any digital game on your Xbox One, sign in with their own gamertag and play – even if the owner is not signed in."
Essentially with Home Gold, the Xbox One console becomes a central hub for gaming, apps and media, allowing Xbox LIVE subscribers to share the benefits of a Gold sub with their friends–along with their digital games and apps.
"Sharing digital games is a great feature of Xbox One, and we're also making it possible for Xbox Live Gold members to share some of the best benefits of Gold."
Home Gold gives gamers access to subscriber-only gaming features including online multiplayer matches enhanced with the new SmartMatch integration, and even gives users access to the Xbox One's Game DVR to capture their play sessions and upload them to their friends with Studio Upload.
Access to entertainment apps such as Skype and Internet Explorer will also be available, but Achievements that are earned by another user will not be applied to the owner's account; you'll still have to be signed in with the appropriate gamertag to earn 'chievos.
In a recent interview with Polygon, Marc Whitten talks more about Home Gold's sharing features:
"So how it works is, on your console, anybody else on the console–whether it's a babysitter that's come over or a friend or your family–can participate in all the experiences like they're on Gold," Whitten began.
"It's with their gamertag so they're not on your gamertag, you don't even have to be there, they're not messing up your gamerscore or your storage or your queues or anything like that.
"It's their full account experience, but it really gets to take full advantage of many of the Gold features."
Additionally the update reveals that gamers can sign in with their Xbox LIVE Gold account on a friend's Xbox One and get access to all of the benefits of the subscription–online multiplayer, entertainment apps, etc.–even if their friend isn't a Gold subscriber. In this instance, gamers can also share their Gold sub to give their non-Gold friends access to content even if they aren't the owner of the console–a pretty snazzy feature.
While Microsoft has shed light on this new dynamic sharing feature for the Xbox One, it will be interesting to see how well it pans out when practically implemented when the console is released.
The company assuredly has gone lengths to redeem their next-gen console's public image, and this new Home Gold structure will no-doubt reinforce their campaign–however there are some instances that seem a bit too good to be true.
In any case, the advantages of sharing your digital games and Xbox LIVE Gold subscription with friends and family are quite clear, and it will be interesting to see how (and if) Sony responds to Home Gold. There are likely to be snags and various limitations within Home Gold, which may be revealed over the course of time–such as hidden fees and whatnot.
Be sure to check out the original update on the Xbox Wire news site for a full run-down of all of the highlights and features–many of which seem to contradict Microsoft's overall stance in the gaming world (an image they are trying to refine, however, and this structure may prove to be advantageous if it's implemented properly).
The Xbox One is slated for a release sometime in November 2013 for a $499 price point. For more information or to pre-order your very own Day One edition, please visit the console's official website.

The popular concept of our dark hour regarding a person who has a convincing testimony of salvation, then later turns back to sin (backslides) is that he was either: (1) never a Christian and merely a false convert or (2) he is still saved in his sin (a miserable Christian), but has merely forfeited his fellowship with God, rewards, salvation assurance, testimony, etc. but not his actual salvation. How sad it is that such ignorance of the Bible continues to proliferate the professing Christian world.
LEARN: What Are The Consequences For One Who Neglects Spiritual SafeguardsWhen one reads the Bible as an earnest truth seeker, it doesn't take long to realize the above religious traditions of Reformed theology and others are mere fabrications. The Scriptures reveal that a person who once had a new creation in Christ experience of salvation, then later turns back to sin (backslides) is that he died spiritually or has lost his salvation (Eph. 5:5-7; Gal. 5:19-21; 2 Pet. 2:20-22; 1 John 3:7,8; etc.). That is how we should biblically view the backsliding. Backsliding from God is too common in our sinful day, then sometimes the backslider thinks he is still saved.
We know the truly saved can severely backslide: King David backslid into adultery and murder; King Solomon backslid into idolatry; the apostle Peter disowned Jesus three times; etc. This Biblical fact alone is at least crushing to those who say if such occurs they were false converts, like Ray Comfort.
The Truly Saved Can Backslide
The Truly Saved Can Be Identified
Secondly, the Bible clearly teaches that we can definitely know when someone truly gets saved:This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. (1 John 3:10)Hence, if such a person turns back to sin, it would be unscriptural to say he was never saved! This truth in itself is devastating to the never really saved and false convert theology connected with eternal security. Since we can tell when a person truly gets saved and the truly saved can severely backslide, then the only real question that remains is: Does a true Christian (or righteous person) remain saved if he severely backslides like David, Solomon, Peter and others? The answer is a definite No , as already stated. The Bible (God's truth) states he does not remain saved, but man's theology, confessions and creeds adamantly declare he does. [We have over 1,000 pages in the form of two books (The Believer's Conditional Security and The Myth of Eternal Security) that thoroughly refute eternal security. Please consult them for more specific details about all of this.]
The Backsliding Typical View
A multitude of eternal security proponents believe the following, which certainly is not an example of holiness preaching:When someone backslides I would say either they were never saved to begin with and need to repent and get saved or that if they were saved they no longer have assurance of salvation and need to repent.
Jacob Prasch and others who embrace that type of spiritual poison sometimes describe themselves as apologetic and discernment type ministries, but neglect the truth that one who was saved can again become lost (Luke 15:24, 32; James 5:19,20; Rom. 11:19-23) and must repent for salvation's sake (not for something much less significant like mere assurance).
John MacArthur often has people hoodwinked about his so-called holiness message, which is in reality nothing more than a facade. There is nothing holy about the eternal security teaching. John MacArthur doesn't always teach if one strays into wickedness and remains in it he was never really saved. John MacArthur teaches that a true Christian can live in a continual state of sinfulness and not let go of that wickedness. His sin unto death teaching proves that. Too few seem to know this truth about him. To remain unrepentant, according to John MacArthur, will only cost one his assurance (of salvation), but not his salvation itself. That is both Calvinism and a license for immorality. (Please do not be deceived: There is nothing holy about true Calvinism.) The bottom line is there isn't much difference between MacArthur and Bob George at times!
For Real Truth Seekers
Because a Christian can become fatally deceived by sin and false doctrine, the many spiritual safeguards written in the New Testament are to be taken seriously and acted upon to remain in Christ. If these are neglected, up to lethal spiritual consequences will result and sometimes very rapidly. This truth is rarely known in our day but nonetheless vital.
The mere fact that eternal security or once saved always saved is the belief that once you are saved you are always saved and that teaching counters the way Christians are informed to walk/run/live shows how dangerous this doctrine is. Notice what the real grace teaching of Christianity proclaims to those sealed with the Holy Spirit:So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall! (1 Cor 10:12)You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in." Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either. Consider therefore the kindness and sternness of God: sternness to those who fell, but kindness to you, provided that you continue in his kindness. Otherwise, you also will be cut off. And if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in, for God is able to graft them in again (Rom 11:19-23).
The teaching of eternal security will set one up for a spiritual fall (1 Cor. 10:12) and remove this important fear of being cut off from bible salvation (Rom. 11:19-23). May we all take the real gospel of grace seriously and act upon this basic Christian tenet:By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain (1 Cor 15:2).
To believe differently from the real gospel is to believe "another gospel" and show yourself condemned by doing so (Gal. 1:8,9). Dear reader, flee as fast as you can from such a local congregation and/or ministry that teaches eternal security. You don't want to be held accountable for sharing in its wicked work (2 John 9-11). Their teaching is not the doctrine of salvation in scripture. GOD BLESS YOU.

A 55-year-old man from Riceton was killed in a crash south of Lajord, Saskatchewan on Friday.
RCMP officers from the Milestone detachment were called to the scene of a crash between a semi and a truck on a grid road south of Lajord on Friday at 5 p.m.. STARS Air Ambulance and local fire and rescue crews also responded.
The 55-year-old man who was driving the truck died at the scene and the 30-year-old semi driver was taken to the hospital in Regina with undetermined injuries.
Police say the truck was heading south when it was hit by the semi travelling east. Police say alcohol is not believed to be a contributing factor in this crash.

I understand and support the notion that a patient HAS to be educated. They take their pills regularly, they look after themselves, they're more compliant patients if they understand what's happening to them.
But... What's wrong with the Internet is that patients have no guidance on what they're educating themselves with – what to hold onto vs. what to discard. They end up wrongly informed – which is far worse than not informed at all.
I worry about Google's content rating system. You're asking non-medical, ignorant people to judge the relevance of medical content. There's a reason doctors study for 6 years and then practice for 2! It's like me trying to make a judgement on the performance of the latest BMW – I just don't have a clue!
Prime Example. Had a patient the other day who's 6 year-old daughter has rectal prolapse. She's been seen by a GP and paediatricians and no sinister cause has been identified. Mommy went to the internet and looked up rectal prolapse – and of course - out pops the textbook list of causes. She then arrived at the Practice with her mind made up. Her daughter now had cystic fibrosis – and I should investigate accordingly. Cystic fibrosis is barely even a contender in this diagnosis btw.
Now. I had to explain to Mommy and her superior Internet knowledge that cystic fibrosis occurs in BOYS - almost exclusively! And that if there were any signs of cystic fibrosis – the signs would have manifested as increased mucus at the age of 2!
Two consultation sessions later, and a bunch of time wasted trying to explain to Mommy that just because it's on the internet – doesn't mean its true... a mild example of what can go wrong with layman internet research.
Don't believe me? Try it out for yourself. Go to Google.com. Type in "rectal prolapse". Conveniantly, Google picks this up as a medical term and offers you Treatment, Causes, Diagnosis, For Patients, Alternative Medicine etc. etc. examples. Click Tests / Diagnosis. Result number 3 is E-Medecine. And there, for all to see and interpret, is a pretty damn scary list of causes.
- Advanced age
- Long-term constipation
- Long-term diarrhea
- Long-term straining during defecation
- Pregnancy and the stresses of childbirth
- Previous surgery
- Cystic fibrosis
- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
- Whooping cough
- Multiple sclerosis
- Paralysis (Paraplegia)
This isn't differentiating between age, gender or pre-existing illnesses – three of the most fundamental differentiators. That's WHY doctors have consultations. To narrow down, or eliminate lists of causes before a proper diagnosis.
Little Susie is now a potential victim of Whooping Cough and Multiple Sclerosis – and if Mommy is paranoid enough… Chronic Obstructuve Pulmonary Disease (Translation: Emphysema. Do you really think the 6 year old has been smoking 20 cigarettes a day for 20 years?)
Empower the patient - definitely! But who's going to help us undo the influence of bad research?

Today is Mojo's birthday. Well, to be honest, I don't know her exact birthday - she was about three months old when she came home with me on February 1, 1997 and given the name I chose for her, Halloween seemed like the perfect birth date.
I've been thinking of her lately, more so than is usual - Lucy takes up an awful lot of room and couldn't be more different from Mojo (the only thing they have in common is that they're both felines), so despite often having a sense of her, sometimes it's hard to remember details around all the Lucyness. The other day, I was going through some of my pictures and popped into a folder from about a year ago and there she was. My Mojo. And my first thought was holy crap, she has a lot of hair
After six months of a shorthaired cat, I'd forgotten what the long-haired one looked like. And then I went through some more photos and smiled and cried a little. Played the what if game, beat myself up for not somehow knowing sooner, getting her to the vet faster and then I decided to stop that and just remember 13 years of love.
I read the posts I wrote about her, the one written three years ago, the post after the diagnosis and the one I wrote after she died and they made me smile and cry again. And now I remember, I feel her close to me again and it feels as if there are two cats here, one who is warm and the other a shadow, just as she was my shadow in life.
I miss you, my Moocher.

I keep thinking that there must be something magic about the Clore Leadership Programme. At some after-hours during the second Bore Place session, my "fellow fellows" could not help wondering, "What is so magical about Clore?" For me, Clore set me on a journey of re-discovering myself in connection to the world. Before Clore, I had imagined that it would have everything about an exceptional leadership-training programme (which it certainly does!), but I never expected that it would begin a soul-searching experience by asking the fundamental question of "who are you" and "what do you want to be". No one could provide a ready answer, but Clore managed to encourage, inspire and drive me on a bitter-sweet, unending journey of exploring my inner strength and constantly challenging myself, with a rich combination of refined ingredients, for example, formal day sessions and intimate night sessions by high-profile cultural leaders at the residential courses, custom-made placement and mentorship, and incredibly warm, sincere sharing atmosphere among fellows.

Jonah is under the weather today. His temperature got up to 102.3 at one point. He has pretty much been laying in the bed watching movies and me trying to get him to eat a little here and there and drink. His temperature had come down to 100.3 this afternoon and he's napping now. Poor baby! This morning he came over with a frown and sat down in the floor kind of whimpering. I asked him what's wrong and he said he wanted to go to the doctor. I asked "Why? Is something hurting?" And he grabs his throat. Post nasal drip is a bear in the morning to be sure. He has been surprising me with how articulate he is these days.
On Monday we went to Chick-fil-a for lunch and a young man in army fatigues held the door for us. As we were passing by, Jonah stopped and looked up at him and asked, "Are you a captain?" The young man replied, "No, I'm a Sargent. Can you say 'Sargent'?" And Jonah said, "Sargent." We thanked him and moved on. Interesting little interaction. He's already getting to the point where he can hold a conversation with a perfect stranger - LOL!
Here's another random thing that happened this week with Elisabeth. I was standing in our hallway doing laundry - moving clothes around - you know how it goes - it's kind of tight squeeze when I have the folding doors open. Anyway, I came around the corner to put some clothes in the wash and there she was in my path as usual. This was probably the first time that I said, "Beep, Beep." And don't you know it she went "Beep, beep" right back. She can also say "Zebra" but it sounds more like "Wee-bra." She loves watching animal shows and Barney. She literally bounces up and down when she seas Barney - "Barney goes to the Zoo" is her favorite movie right now.
Okay, well, pray the rest of us don't get whatever it is Jonah has. I'll keep you posted.

Sylvia is only 50 and she has terminal cancer….
She was admitted to hospital just under 3 weeks ago where long term partner Terry was told to sit and hold her hand as she probably wouldn't make it through the night as she was so ill….she did make it and then she rallied round to slowly improve bit by bit under the care given to her by the nurses in the Palliative ward of Town & County Hospital in Wick.
Sylvia told her nurses that she would love to marry Terry before she dies and that sentence set an incredible set of wheels in motion to bring together a host of local businesses to help grant Sylvia's dying wish.
Tuesday 9th of February saw everything come together and the transformation of a hospital day room into a beautiful wedding venue for Sylvia & Terry.
The Day Room was transformed not only by the nursing staff but also by Carol Smith of To Have & To Hold along with Fiona Miller Interior Textiles. Decorations were supplied by Gail's Gift Box, Sam's Furniture and Driftwood. Flowers were supplied by The Flower Patch, personalised champagne glasses were gifted by Willie Bain Engraving.
Next was the transformation of Sylvia. Helaina Rosie coloured and styled Sylvia's hair both before and on the Wedding Day, using a Lark & Lily bridal headpiece in the back of Sylvia's hair and the bracelet Sylvia wore was made by Craftastic. Vana Guy provided her excellent make up skills to give Sylvia her blushing bride look. Make up and perfumes were supplied by Reid's Chemist and Superdrug. Of course every bride needs a stunning wedding dress and Beverley from Simply Bliss Bridal Boutique brought a selection to the hospital before the wedding for Sylvia to choose from. The dress was simply stunning and for the Groom, McAllan's supplied Terry with kilt hire for the day, Jennifer Easton of JAED helped make perfect fits with her dress alteration skills. George Dunnett provided a limo and driver to allow Sylvia to have a wee tour around town before "arriving" for her wedding. She was piped into the ceremony by Michael Miller.
Sylvia was escorted down the aisle by her brother, Alan and the ceremony was conducted by The Reverend John Nugent of Wick St Fergus Church who read beautiful and poignant words. Not only was I there capturing the ceremony, but videoing it was STV News who had travelled up from Inverness to interview the couple after finding out about the community spirit in Wick. There was a buffet with food and drink fit to feed and water an army, all supplied by Tesco Wick Community , The Norseman Hotel and the Nursing Staff and their friends and family.
All in all Sylvia & Terry's wedding day was a huge success, all organised within 2 weeks with the local community pulling together to help one of its own.
One of the nursing staff contacted me after the wedding and said that Sylvia said it was like a dream she couldn't believe that people would do something like that for her. Well they did Sylvia and you're now Mrs Vine….its time for you to concentrate on your future, no matter how long you may have, make the most of it and keep fighting lovely lady, you've come such a long way in 3 weeks. There was a lot of love for both you and Terry in the hospital today and I'm sure you will treasure the memories that you have.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your day and for sharing your wedding day story.
And to the Nurses and Auxiliaries at the Town & County Hospital….you do a fantastic job day in day out and to go above and beyond your duties in this way shows how special and caring you are. You truly are angels. Thank you for what you do for all your patients

I have grown up in this industry. From the time I was a small boy, one of my favorite memories has been riding around cemeteries on the tailgate of my grandfather's pickup at Christmas time, jumping off at every stop to place evergreen blankets, wreaths and crosses on graves.
I worked part time for my grandfather during high school and while attending business school in Durango, Colorado I worked part time for a monument company there. After school I came back to the business to stay. In that time I have been involved in every aspect of this industry from the quarrying of granite to cleaning and repairing some of the oldest monuments in our state.
From the very beginning, my grandfather's, father's, and now my philosophy has been to make a top quality product and let that product speak for itself. We do everything we can to make each and every customer happy. It is my promise to you that the commitment to quality service and memorials that began with my grandfather will continue on, in the way we conduct business here at Norman's Memorials.

My family has lived in Northern Colorado for three generations. Having lived here all my life I am very familiar with the cemeteries and many of the people of this area.
I've been at Norman's Memorials for about fourteen years now and in sales for almost forty. My goal is to help families create something truly special for their loved one, which reflects something of that person and their lives.
My goal is to provide quality service for the families I serve and be the friendly face that's here to help them through the process. The biggest rewards to me have been the friendships I have gained while being of service in times of sorrow.

Santa's workshop
Our Jr. Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and First Grade teachers are transforming our hallway into Santa's village!! This is a few pictures of my part. I will post more pictures later when everything is completed!! In case you are wondering, I am not allowed to put anything on my door, because according to the Fire Marshall, it might catch on fire. So I just went around the door!!

There was a stage set up on Oak Lawn with live entertainers showcasing their talent, goodies up for sale and stalls and stalls of different types of food from all corners of the globe.
I went to Spring Feast last year, so going again this year was not my something new for today. Luckily for me, one of the first food stalls we went to actually had something vegan on the menu. Most stalls sold meat on skewers :P
The stall sold some Brazilian food and I got the black bean bollitos pelones (baked dumpling). Not only was it vegan, but it was also gluten free. The dumpling was made from corn/maize flour and had black beans in the centre. It was tasty and just one of them was enough to fill me up.
It was a fun night walking around and checking out all the different stalls. There was one where they were cooking meat on a metal barrel which we thought looked cool.
The entertainment that we saw was brilliant. A very talented girl sang some covers with her guitar and accompanied by piano. She had a very nice dreamy voice.
Spring Feast is always a bit of fun, so I highly recommend you check it out if haven't already. Make sure you bring lots of small change or lots of $5 notes because they don't always have change for anything over a $20 note. Get ready to wait in line for popular things like the spiral spuds on a stick and the takoyaki, and lastly, get used to the idea of being amongst big crowds because there are a lot of people!
|We got some really delicious popsicles from here :) I got the strawberry mint. Very fresh :)

Main scripture: James 1:22
Grind (grizzy):
*(Verb) Informal. to work or study laboriously (often followed by away ): He was grinding away at his algebra. *(Noun) Informal. an excessively diligent student
*to perform (an act, duty, role, etc.)
*to accomplish; finish; complete
*or designating either persons or things from some special
*a person or thing that does characteristic or circumstance something, especially a person who gets things done efficiency.
*with vigor and
*a person characterized by action, as distinguished from one given to contemplation.
*James 1:2-18- scriptural basis is "faith". *James intention there was to provoke faith and a trust in the completed work of Jesus Christ in the most dreadful times in ones' life.
*James 1:19-25- Now you see James encouraging the BELIEVERS to "do" more than read, pray and talk scripture, he is now challenging them to BECOME scripture for those that do not believe/read the Bible.
*James 1:26-27 Here you see where James even gets more stern and says, "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain."
*One of the biggest things that is pointed out throughout the chapter is that fact that our heart should match our works, the trap is this…many believers will automatically forget the weight that the grace of God carries. Grace is given to us it is not earned at all.
*Ephesisians 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Hence there is no way we can pay back something we have not borrowed, all that's left to do is show the Provider of Grace honor and thanks by using it when it is needed (when you sin against God) and get back up (Proverbs 24:16 For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.) and start at it again...WITHOUT CONDEMNING YOURSELF (Romans 8: 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.). Where condemnation starts is exactly where perseverance stops.
So be a DOER and get on your GRIZZY for the kingdom of God.

State of the Blog
Loyal readers, commentators, contributors, and objects of our scorn;
The time has come to reflect on the past few weeks. This blog had humble beginnings, it started as an idea, albeit a misplaced one, but an idea nonetheless. Ideas, I am told are good unless they are bad, in which case they are not good.
This blog, or as I think it should be aptly called- internet community- is really an experiment in self awareness through self ignorance. In other words it is incoherent, cloudy thoughts with interspersed moments of utter lucidity.
I think my point is better made through someone concrete examples, we have a post that includes: guns and roses, serpents, and tips on pubic hair shaving. We have another involving intelligent design and control of human fat placement. Noticeably this place is somewhere that things which have little relation to each other collide violently producing a beautiful art show.
If random is good, and thoughts are uncontrollable, then I predict that next days, weeks and months will interesting- especially if certain filing cabinets are liberated.
Yits. out.

(UNDATED) - NWS PEACE Program, a non-profit and Department of STate approved program is seeking caring families in our area to host high school age 15 to 18, international exchange students.
These students are now available for adoption for five to 12 months.
Students come with medical insurance and spending money. You just need to provide a loving home, care and guidance, three meals, a bed and an experience of a life time.
There is no such thing as a typical host family. Whether you are a single parent, retired, have small children, teens or no children you can have a great experience hosting an international teen.
Since early placement is crucial to the success of the program, the goal is to have the students matched with their host families by May 1. The timing is important in developing the bonds with the new family.
If you cannot host a teen, but want to be involved call NWS PEACE at (866) 849-3977 or visit the website at www.nw-services.com

Financial Planning / Thrift Savings Plan (TSP)
|Subject: TSP article in WSJ
|Date: 1/14/2013 12:31 AM
|Author: blacktreechaser
|Number: 83 of 93
Very interesting article on page B1 in the Sat/Sun Jan 12-13 copy of the Wall Street Journal.
-I didn't know the TSP funds were being run by Blackrock. The TSP Investment Board oversees the fund...I thought they ran it also.
-Blackrock does lend out shares to short-sellers. In other Blackrock funds, it was noted that Blackrock returns 65% of the fees (recieved from the borrowers of shares) and keep the rest for themselves. Its suggested that Blackrock returns a larger percentage to the TSP funds in order to keep managing the funds. But it mentions Vanguard returns 100% of such fees to the funds.
The last paragraph makes a subtle suggestion that all fees recieved from lending shares belong to the fund (i.e, the shareholders).
Did Congress favor a big contractor at the expense of federal employees again?
The good news?? Fund management expenses are dirt cheap.
