The Islamic world is running a protection racket against the entire Western world. We are supposed to stay in line and pay up, or we can get hurt. The part of Guido and his tommy gun is played by the "Muslim street", that amorphous mass of people in the Middle East, South Asia, and more recently the working class neighborhoods of Europe. When the word about the latest outrage against Islamic dignity goes out through the mosques on Friday, the faithful are predictably offended, and they take to the streets to loot and burn whatever is required of them by the imams. So don't get out of line. Don't interfere with the Muslims, don't neglect to pay the "insurance premiums", and above all don't diss the Prophet.
This point is emphasized once again in an editorial entitled "Playing With Fire" from today's Arab News. This time it's the German Interior Minister whose knees are being figuratively broken:
The statement by Germany's Interior Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble that European newspapers should reprint the controversial Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a show of support for press freedom is astounding.Source
It is difficult to believe that a supposedly responsible and politically astute politician could say something so irresponsible and dangerous - and Schaeuble is supposedly both. More to the point, Schaeuble knows perfectly well that there are hundreds of millions of Muslims worldwide to whom the cartoons are not merely deeply offensive but an outrage. He also knows perfectly well what happened when the cartoons were first published - the wave of violent protest worldwide two years ago that resulted in dozens of people killed in riots and Danish embassies destroyed. The decision by Danish papers to reprint the most offensive of the cartoons has already led to Egypt protesting to Denmark, Iranian MPs demanding action against the country, mass demonstrations in Sudan and riots by outraged Muslims in Denmark itself.
Schaeuble cannot, therefore, claim that he did not realize the consequences of what he said or that he has been naive. This is no mere mistake or case of insensitivity. He knows the massive damage to Germany that can result from what he said - boycotts of German products, mass protests across the world, German diplomats in danger, embassies under attack - yet still he said it. He is being deliberately provocative.....
He should have kept his mouth shut, regardless of what he thinks about press freedom. In saying what he did and because he is the interior minister, his call to reprint is inevitably seen as Germany's view. It is not for us to demand his resignation but it is impossible to believe that Germans will not do so. He has been grossly irresponsible. He is playing with fire. He has created a crisis for his country where there was none beforehand. He has sown division between Germany's Muslims and non-Muslims and stirred up the potential for discord and disorder. That is hardly what is expected of a government minister whose remit is law and order.
Murderous dictators: cool, huh?
Why does the Left still worship Fidel Castro and all his appalling fellow communists? Daniel Finkelstein comments below on Harriet Harman -- who is Deputy Leader of Britain's Labour Party, the Leader of the House of Commons and a member of the Cabinet. When recently asked in an interview: "Fidel Castro - authoritarian dictator or hero of the Left?" Harman answered unhesitatingly - "hero of the Left".
I had a strange idea yesterday. I had the idea of inviting Harriet Harman home for dinner. This isn't a thought that occurs to me often, but I suddenly felt it might be fun. I'd invite my Dad too. And then, when we'd given Harriet a nice meal (what do you think she likes to eat?), my father could tell her his story.
He could tell her how the Soviets and the Nazis closed in on his home town of Lvov in September 1939 and how the town council chose the Soviets to surrender to. Then he might tell her how the fathers of his friends were taken to the woods at Katyn and shot by the communists.
He might recount the story of his father's arrest as an antisocial element, of Adolf Finkelstein's repeated interrogations leading to a trial in his absence and a jail sentence of 15 years' hard labour. Then Dad could tell the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party about his own experience as a child, exiled to a remote Siberian village. And how he and his mother and his father never saw their home again. And, when he'd finished, he could let Harriet speak. And she could explain to Dad why she thinks that Fidel Castro is a hero.
Its been almost 60 years since my grandfather's arrest and 50 years since the Soviets invaded Hungary. The Prague Spring has come and gone, the Gdansk shipyard strike is history, the Berlin Wall has fallen. We've read Robert Conquest tell of Stalin's murderous deeds and Jung Chang tell of Mao's. We've watched films about the Stasi and recoiled in disgust at the opulent lives of the Ceausescus. We know that Alger Hiss was guilty and that there was, after all, a communist conspiracy in America. We've read Solzhenitsyn and Sharansky. We know.
Yet still the Deputy Leader of the Labour Party, the Leader of the House of Commons, a member of the Cabinet, is in love with Fidel. When asked, earlier this week, in an interview: "Fidel Castro - authoritarian dictator or hero of the Left?" she answered unhesitatingly - "hero of the Left". Which brings me to this question - Why? Why does she think that? Why would she say that?
Let's eliminate from our inquiries the idea that Fidel was somehow better than the rest of them, better than Honecker and so forth. Those cigars, those battle fatigues, that beard. Kinda cool, no? No. Death sentences for those who want to flee, prison sentences for dissidents, gags for the press, jail for homosexuals, ruinous central planning for the economy, his support for a nuclear first strike against America, his opposition to any kind of reform, his four-hour long speeches, his personality cult. Fidel Castro was just like the rest of them.
So if we want to understand Ms Harman's response, it is not enough just to think about Cuba. We have to understand why parts of the Left, people who think of themselves as impeccably liberal, still think of communism as an heroic doctrine and communists as basically well meaning and a bit "alternative". It's a pervasive attitude that goes well beyond politicians. Go to Tate Modern and you will find an exhibition of Soviet art - workers joyfully producing tractors or some such. In the bookshop you can buy a book of posters from the cultural revolution. Hitler memorabilia is not on sale. They wouldn't dream of having a room full of artfully designed Juden Raus! posters.
I struggle a little to understand the distinction being made here, but I think it is this. It's not that the liberals are unaware that millions died under Mao and under Stalin. It's just that they think it was different. Hitler had a killing machine; under Mao ("the greatest man of the 20th century", according to Tony Benn) and Stalin many people just up and died.
I've heard this argument made before. When I wrote that my mother had seen Anne Frank arrive in Belsen, I had an e-mail from a Nazi claiming that I was wrong to describe the little girl as having been killed by the Nazis. She had, he said, died of typhoid. I responded that if you imprison an innocent person in terrible conditions or starve them, or both, and they die, you have murdered them. The same goes for the communists.
There is another reason why people prefer communists to fascists. It is that the latter believe we are entirely the product of our genes, while the former regard us as entirely the product of our environment. Somehow genetic determinism is regarded with greater distaste than environmental determinism. I am not entirely sure why. In any case, scientific evidence now shows that both views are wrong. Even if they weren't, neither justifies the killings carried out in their name.
Which leaves me with one final reason for the Left's attitude to communism - that anyone who defies the United States is somehow seen as a valiant progressive, whatever their crimes. I am sure that Castro's resistance to the US is a major reason for Harriet Harman's admiration. From time to time, Left thinkers make an effort to reconcile liberals and America. From Tony Crosland in the Fifties to Jonathan Freedland's admirable and convincing book Bring Home the Revolution, the efforts have failed. Almost anyone - a homophobic, misogynist Islamist cleric for example - is given some credit if the US is their punchbag.
A few months ago the Tory candidate Nigel Hastilow had to resign for saying that Enoch Powell may have had a point. And it was right that he went. Calling Fidel Castro a hero is worse.
The master of Islamist doublespeak comes to Australia
The Swiss Islamic activist Tariq Ramadan has been invited by Griffith University to be the keynote speaker at its conference opening in Brisbane today. The fact that Australia is allowing Ramadan to enter the country at all will raise eyebrows in security circles elsewhere. Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan al-Banna, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood: the spiritual backers of al-Qa'ida and Hamas and whose goal is to Islamise the world. While it is, of course, unfair to tar someone with his grandfather's views, there is ample reason to think that in the case of Tariq Ramadan the apple has not fallen far from the tree.
Ramadan has been banned from entering the US because of his alleged association with extremists. The Geneva Islamic Centre, with which he is closely associated, has been linked to terrorists of the Algerian FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) and the GIA (Armed Islamic Group). A Spanish police report claimed that Ahmed Brahim, an al-Qa'ida leader jailed in Spain, was "in frequent contact" with Ramadan, a claim he has denied. Yet the Swiss activist has not only been allowed into Britain but is ensconced at St Anthony's College, Oxford as a research fellow and is much lionised by the British establishment, appearing at security seminars on Islamism and even serving as an adviser to the British Government on tackling Islamic extremism.
So how to explain this wild divergence of views about Tariq Ramadan? And does Australia have cause to be concerned? Ramadan's message is highly seductive to a Western world terrified by Islamic radicalism. For Ramadan preaches the comforting message of an unthreatening Islam that can accommodate itself to modernity and to the West. He does so in a charismatic style combining high intellect, a winsome French accent and impossibly hip glamour. To the desperate British establishment, the picture he paints so beguilingly of a way out of the Islamist nightmare has made him into the rock star of the counter-terrorism circuit.
But closer scrutiny of what he actually says - and perhaps even more importantly, does not say - suggests the talented Mr Ramadan is an Islamist wolf in moderniser's clothing. To the Islamic world he says one thing; to credulous Western audiences quite another in language that is slippery, opaque, manipulative and disingenuous. His reputation as a Muslim reformer owes everything to the wishful thinking of those who want so much to believe in him that they fail to grasp what he is really saying.
Partly, this is because much of his work is in French. The writer Caroline Fourest has analysed it and her book, Brother Tariq: the Doublespeak of Tariq Ramadan has just been translated from French into English. All who are concerned to halt the spread of radical Islamism should read this book. For it shows without doubt that the poster boy for Islamic reform is in fact one of the most sophisticated proponents of the global jihad.
Ramadan claims he has "no functional connection" with the Muslim Brotherhood. But he was trained at the Leicester Islamic Foundation in England, the controversial institution that propagates the doctrines of the key Islamist ideologues Maulana Maududi and Syed Qutb and which aims to promote "an Islamic social order in Great Britain". And Ramadan has repeatedly said that his grandfather's views have "inspired" him and "there is nothing in this heritage that I reject".
So what is the heritage of Hassan al-Banna? He did not just promote the most reactionary and oppressive Islamic fundamentalism. He also devised a strategy of "graduated conquest" - pursued by the Muslim Brotherhood around the world - by which not only the countries of the former medieval Islamic caliphate, but all countries where Muslims live, are to be gradually Islamised and then taken over by an Islamic government under sharia law. This is the "heritage" Ramadan endorses. The only difference is that he has developed a particularly subtle strategy for seducing the West into embracing Islamist thinking without realising what is happening.
On the issue of terror, he is particularly slippery. Professing to oppose terrorism, he denies that his grandfather had anything to do with jihadi violence. Yet al-Banna explicitly supported the armed jihad which he considered to be the highest and "most sacred" form of holy war. Ramadan claims his grandfather limited this to "legitimate defence" or "resistance in the face of injustice". But this is precisely the weaselly formulation by which Islamists justify the "resistance" of human bomb terrorism in Israel or Iraq.
Behind the honeyed words about reform and tolerance which have entranced his Western fan club, Ramadan has consistently lined himself up with the forces of obscurantism, intolerance, hatred and violence. The first association he set up in 1994, the Muslim Men and Women of Switzerland, promoted confrontation and stirred up tension. He wrote the preface for a compilation of fatwas by the European Council for Fatwa whose president, Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi, has said human bomb operations in Israel and Iraq are a religious duty.
Through his stronghold in the Union of Young Muslims in Lyon, he radicalised thousands of young French Muslims. In 1993, he was involved in a successful attempt in Geneva to stop production of a play by Voltaire on the grounds that it insulted Islam. In a telling exchange with the future French President Nicolas Sarkozy, he refused to condemn stoning to death for adultery, calling merely for a moratorium on this barbaric practice. And all those who oppose him he labels Islamophobes, Jews or Zionists. The desperation to embrace this most devious "reformer" is gravely misplaced. Truly moderate Muslims are undermined and indeed endangered by Ramadan at every turn.
Far from offering a way to modernise Islam, he proposes instead to Islamise modernity. And he is all the more dangerous precisely because his weapon is not a bomb-belt but his tongue. Some may say that, even if his thinking is reactionary, that is no reason to refuse to let him into the country. This naive view ignores the fact that the Islamists' war of civilisation is being conducted principally on the battleground of ideas.
Terrorism merely backs up the Muslim Brotherhood's fundamental strategy of cultural infiltration, incitement, demoralisation and conquest. As Fourest has written, the strategy of Ramadan is to globalise the Islamic awakening that is part of that strategy. In May 2003, the Appeal Court of Lyon agreed that language employed by preachers such as Ramadan "can influence young Muslims and can serve as a factor inciting them to join up with those engaged in violent acts". Wherever he goes, Ramadan is a pied piper leading the young to jihad by his mesmeric tunes. Through his appeal, he is probably the most dangerous Islamist in the Western world.
Thanks to the short-sightedness of the British Government, brother Tariq has been given a platform to radicalise innumerable young Muslims. Does Australia really want to follow suit?
Ideology-blinkered Australian uranium policy irks India
OK to sell uranium to Communist China but not to democratic India?
KEVIN Rudd was lashed yesterday by one of India's most influential foreign affairs commentators over the Prime Minister's ditching of his predecessor's pledge to sell uranium to the emerging economic powerhouse. Brahma Chellaney launched a searing denunciation of Mr Rudd's "abstruse, retrograde ideology" over his reversal of a decision made last year by John Howard to sell uranium to India. Mr Chellaney accused Mr Rudd in The Asian Age newspaper of striking "a jarring note amid a growing convergence of strategic interests" between the two countries.
Under the headline "Rudd's rudderless reversal", Mr Chellaney noted that Mr Rudd was the free world's first Mandarin-speaking head of government, saying he "has made plain his intent to cosy up to the world's largest autocracy, China, while nullifying an important decision that his predecessor took to help build a closer rapport with the world's largest democracy."
The stridency of Mr Chellaney's attack reflects the widespread annoyance at high levels in New Delhi over the Rudd Government's reversal on the uranium issue. The Indian Government was irked when, in January, it sent special prime ministerial envoy Shyam Saran to see Foreign Minister Stephen Smith in Perth and found itself being bluntly told - even though it had not asked - there would be no sale of Australian uranium to India. Indian sources insist Mr Saran was taken aback by the minister's forthright stance as he had gone to Perth only to brief Mr Smith on New Delhi's negotiations with Washington over its civilian nuclear deal and specifically not to ask to buy Australian uranium. "Chellaney is saying what many of us feel about the Rudd Government's pathetic hypocrisy on this issue," one highly-placed official told The Australian yesterday.
The criticism of the Rudd Government is in sharp contrast to the significant strides made in Indo-Australian relations in the Howard years, which are praised by Mr Chellaney. But in overturning the decision to sell uranium to India, Mr Chellaney says, Mr Rudd has been "notably regressive". "Driven by misplaced non-proliferation zealotry, Rudd not only went ahead with cancelling Howard's decision, but his Government also continues to parrot the same lame excuse, as if he has not read the Non-Proliferation Treaty text. "In touting its ideological resolve to uphold the NPT, the Rudd Government wants to be more Catholic than the Pope. Far from the NPT forbidding civil exports to a non-signatory, the treaty indeed encourages the peaceful use of nuclear technology among all states.
"Rudd has no qualms about selling uranium to China but will not export to India, even though the latter is accepting what the former will not brook - stringent, internationally verifiable safeguards against diversion of material to weapons use."
Mr Rudd's office would not be drawn on claims his Government had mishandled Australia's relationship with India. A spokesman for the Prime Minister said only that it remained government policy not to sell uranium to countries who had not signed the NPT. Shadow foreign minister Andrew Robb said the Government's handling of the relationship with India had been "clumsy".
Political correctness is most pervasive in universities and colleges but I rarely report the incidents concerned here as I have a separate blog for educational matters.
American "liberals" often deny being Leftists and say that they are very different from the Communist rulers of other countries. The only real difference, however, is how much power they have. In America, their power is limited by democracy. To see what they WOULD be like with more power, look at where they ARE already very powerful: in America's educational system -- particularly in the universities and colleges. They show there the same respect for free-speech and political diversity that Stalin did: None. So look to the colleges to see what the whole country would be like if "liberals" had their way. It would be a dictatorship.

it's almost too pretty.
it has SO many elements that my dream kitchen has....wall of windows over the sink, wood burning fireplace for cooking AND warmth, galley-ish, white as dave and busters on a sunday. on and on and on.
via AD
so i had to unfriend someone who couldn't get behind meryl and that speech.
facebook is obviously the worst (and so are celebrities), but look, we need to collectively stand up to people who are fuck heads. donald trump is a fuck head. we also need to back people who are sticking their neck out to defend people who maybe can't defend themselves.
i didn't feel like her speech was an attack on trump but rather an attack on injustice. and how the press needs to stand in line with the truth.
i've been seeing a lot of memes stating that we can all disagree politically and still be friends...
well....yes but not when the other side is donald trump. sorry not sorry.
i can't get behind your agenda AT ALL. i could explain why he sucks but that would take all day so i won't. plus you probably already know. but if you're one of the folks who still thinks the man is great (he thinks so too btw) here's a quick summary on why he isn't.
and here's the thing- i don't dislike you for voting for him. and i don't unfriend you because you did so. i get it, not everyone was team hillary. such is politics. but i can unfriend you for defending his continued bigotry, entitlement, denial of facts, intention to work with racists and misogynists etc...
so at the end of the day i didn't unfriend you because you weren't team meryl. but the fact that you weren't team meryl because you still blindly hold on to your vote for the cheeto which means you're holding onto your ego which means you suck.
if you don't follow on instagram i had another sale yesterday and there are still a few deeply discounted pieces over there. so head on over. if there is no "sold" in the comments it means it's still available.

This week's 52 Weeks of Baking Challenge is coffee cake. I love coffee cake but Cute Husband does not. In an effort to not eat an entire pan of coffee cake by myself, I made this single serving version from one of my new favorite blogs, Chocolate-Covered Katie. Extra bonus: it's relatively healthy coffee cake!
I went with the white flour and oil options, skipped the walnuts, and doubled the streusel ingredients because, let's face it, that's the best part. I baked it in a greased muffin tin, rather than try the microwave, to stay true to the rules of the challenge.
It's not the cutest coffee cake I've ever seen but it tastes really good. I split it with Robbie and he said "it tastes better than most coffee cakes." So there you go, a coffee cake snubber likes it, must be pretty awesome.

Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery (Urogynecology)
One in three women will experience a pelvic floor disorder in her lifetime. This includes conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and defecatory dysfunction. Ochsner urogynecologists offer a wide range of treatments options ranging from minimal lifestyle changes and medication to minor procedures and robotic surgery. What's more, we do it in a caring, compassionate setting.
On average, women with pelvic floor disorders wait four to six years before seeing a doctor. Why wait another year when, with the help of Ochsner, you can take charge of your life right now?
What is a Urogynecologist?
Urogynecologists have completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology or Urology. These doctors are specialists with additional training and experience in the evaluation and treatment of conditions that affect the female pelvic organs and the muscles and connective tissue that support the organs.
What Do Urogynocologists Treat?
Our team treats problems related to the urinary, bowel, vaginal and sexual functioning of the pelvis and pelvic floor – issues that can follow childbirth or occur naturally with aging.
Some of the common problems treated by an urogynecologist include:
- urinary incontinence or leakage
- pelvic organ prolapse (dropping of the vagina and or uterus)
- overactive bladder
Why Ochsner for Female Pelvic Medicine?
Are you one of the millions of Americans suffering from a pelvic floor disease but are too embarrassed to seek help? Ochsner thinks it's time that changed.
Our job at Ochsner is to treat your condition in a caring and compassionate setting. The team at Ochsner has the training, experience, equipment and talent to make that possible.
Ochsner offers a variety of treatment options, both non-surgical and surgical. One of the top reasons women with prolapse come here for treatment from all over the Gulf South is because our team employs cutting-edge, minimally invasive approaches to surgery including vaginal, laproscopic or robotic options, based on what best suits the patient's needs.
Our outcomes reflect that experience. Our program receives referrals from throughout Louisiana and across the Gulf South region, serving patients in that whole area and growing the treatment options that are available for women.
Another reason for the success of our program is our personalized approach to care. At Ochsner, we treat each of our patients with respect and dignity. Pelvic floor disorders are more common than some types of women's cancer and we want women to know that they do not need to suffer alone.
What To Expect During Your Visit
Your first visit will begin with a review of a list of questions available to you ahead of time through your MyOchsner account. These questions will ensure that you don't forget to tell your doctor about any little symptoms you might have experienced. When you make your appointment, you'll be given instructions on how to access these questions through your MyOchsner account.
Conditions We Treat Include:
- Stress Incontinence - Approximately 1 out of 3 women over the age of 45, and 1 out of every 2 women over 65 have sudden urinary incontinence (SUI) Some women may have leaking urine with common activities such as sneezing, laughing and coughing. This is known as stress incontinence.
- Urge Incontinence or Overactive Bladder (OAB) - OAB occurs when a woman feels a sudden "gotta go, gotta go" feeling. Often, she is not able to make it to the bathroom on time. An urogynecologist can address these issues and discuss your treatment options.
- Fecal Incontinence - Fecal incontinence (also called defecatory disorder) can range from an occasional loss of gas to a complete loss of bowel control. This condition can be caused by aging, vaginal childbirth, diet and other factors. While it can be embarrassing and isolating, there are solutions. Now is the time to find out if we can help.
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse - Pelvic organ prolapse is the descent or "drooping" of the pelvic organs. A woman may feel like everything is "falling out." This could be the uterus, front or back vaginal walls or the top of the vagina after a hysterectomy. Prolapse is a very common problem that can be treated in several different ways, including vaginal and abdominal approaches.
Tests We Offer
- Urodynamics – Assesses the function of your lower urinary tract. Usually takes about an hour and is conducted in our urodynamics suite.
- Cystoscopy – Uses a lighted flexible telescope to look inside your bladder for inflammation or other abnormalities.
- Ultrasound – Gives us an image of your pelvic organs or the muscles of your pelvic floor.
- Manometry – For patients with bowel leakage. Determines the resting and "squeeze" pressure in your rectum and anal canal.
Treatments/Devices We Offer:
- Vaginal Pessary – A rubber or plastic device that supports the pelvic floor and helps maintain support for the prolapsed organ.
- Tibial nerve stimulation – A 12-week neuromodulation program to treat symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB).
Surgeries We Offer:
- Anterior colporrhaphy
- Bladder Botox injection
- Burch colposuspension

Capital in excess of par/
Capital in excess of par is the amount paid by investors to a company for its stock, in excess of the par value of the stock. Par value is the legal capital per share, and is usually printed on the face of the stock certificate. Since par value is usually a very small amount per share, such as $0.01, most of the amount paid by investors is usually classified as capital in excess of par. Some states allow for the issuance of stock that has no par value at all. In these cases, the capital in excess of par is the entire amount paid by investors to a company for its stock.
When stock trades among investors (such as on a stock exchange) there is no payment to the issuing entity, so there is no change in the amount of capital already recorded by the issuer.
The amount of capital in excess of par is recorded in the additional paid-in capital account, and has a credit balance. For example, if ABC Company sell 100,000 shares of its common stock for $5 per share, and the par value of each share is $0.01, then the amount of the capital in excess of par is $499,000 (100,000 shares x $4.99/share), and is recorded as follows:
|Common stock
|Additional Paid-In Capital
Similar Terms
Capital in excess of par is also known as the premium on common stock.

let us pray with one heart and mind.
Silence is kept.
As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and forever.
Angels Your March Oppose
Charles Wesley
Angels your march oppose,
Who still in strength excel,
Your secret, sworn, eternal foes,
Countless, invisible.
With rage that never ends
Their hellish arts they try;
Legions of dire malicious fiends,
And spirits enthroned on high.
From thrones of glory driven
By flaming vengeance hurled
They throng the air, and darken heaven,
And rule this lower world.
But shall believers fear?
But shall believers fly?
Or see the bloody cross appear,
And all their power defy?
Jesus' tremendous name
Puts all our foes to flight:
Jesus, the meek, the angry Lamb,
A Lion is in fight.
By all hell's host withstood,
We all hell's host overthrow;
And conquering them, through Jesus' blood,
We still to conquer go.
Our Captain leads us on;
He beckons from the skies,
And reaches out a starry crown,
And bids us take the prize:
"Be faithful unto death;
Partake my victory;
And thou shalt wear this glorious wreath.
And thou shalt reign with me."
Confession of sin
Let us admit to God the sin which always confronts us.
A time of silence and self-examination may be kept.
Almighty God,
patient and of great goodness:
I confess to you,
I confess with my whole heart
my neglect and forgetfulness of your commandments,
my wrong doing, thinking, and speaking;
the hurts I have done to others,
and the good I have left undone.
O God, forgive me, for I have sinned against you;
and raise me to newness of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
May the God of love and power
forgive us and free us from our sins,
heal and strengthen us by his Spirit,
and raise us to new life in Christ our Lord.
The Word of God
Psalm 59
I will sing of your strength!
Oh, my God, deliver me from my enemies;
put me out of reach from those who rise up against me.
Deliver me from evildoers;
save me from the bloodthirsty.
Look at how they lie in ambush for my life!
Powerful people are attacking me, Lord—
but not because of any error or sin of mine.
They run and take their stand—
but not because of any fault of mine.
Get up when I cry out to you!
Look at what's happening!
You are the Lord God of heavenly forces,
the God of Israel!
Wake up and punish all the nations!
Grant no mercy to any wicked traitor!
They come back every evening,
growling like dogs,
prowling around the city.
See what they belch out with their mouths:
swords are between their lips!
Who can listen to them?
But you, Lord, laugh at them.
You mock all the nations.
I keep looking for you, my strength,
because God is my stronghold.
My loving God will come to meet me.
God will allow me to look down on my enemies.
Don't kill them, or my people might forget;
instead, by your power
shake them up and bring them down,
you who are our shield and my Lord.
For the sin of their mouths,
the words that they speak,
let them be captured in their pride.
For the curses and lies they repeat,
finish them off in anger;
finish them off until they are gone!
Then let it be known to the ends of the earth
that God rules over Jacob.
They come back every evening,
growling like dogs,
prowling around the city.
They roam about for food,
and if they don't get their fill,
they stay all night.
But me? I will sing of your strength!
In the morning I will shout out loud
about your faithful love
because you have been my stronghold,
my shelter when I was distraught.
I will sing praises to you, my strength,
because God is my stronghold,
my loving God.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
I will sing of your strength!
Psalm prayer
Strong and merciful God,
stand with the oppressed
against the triumph of evil
and the complacency of your people,
and establish in Jesus Christ
your new order of generosity and joy,
for he is alive and reigns now and forever.
Psalm 63
My lips praise you because your faithful love is better than life itself!
God! My God! It's you—
I search for you!
My whole being thirsts for you!
My body desires you
in a dry and tired land,
no water anywhere.
Yes, I've seen you in the sanctuary;
I've seen your power and glory.
My lips praise you
because your faithful love
is better than life itself!
So I will bless you as long as I'm alive;
I will lift up my hands in your name.
I'm fully satisfied—
as with a rich dinner.
My mouth speaks praise with joy on my lips—
whenever I ponder you on my bed,
whenever I meditate on you
in the middle of the night—
because you've been a help to me and I shout for joy in the protection of your wings.
My whole being clings to you;
your strong hand upholds me.
But what about those people who want to destroy me?
Let them go into the bowels of the earth!
Let their blood flow by the sword!
Let them be food for wild jackals!
But the king should rejoice in God;
everyone who swears by God should give praise
when the mouths of liars are shut for good.
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
My lips praise you because your faithful love is better than life itself!
Psalm prayer
To you we come, radiant Lord,
the goal of all our desiring,
beyond all earthly beauty;
gentle protector, strong deliverer,
in the night you are our confidence;
from first light be our joy;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Old Testament reading
Jeremiah 7:1-20
Jeremiah received the Lord's word: Stand near the gate of the Lord's temple and proclaim there this message: Listen to the Lord's word, all you of Judah who enter these gates to worship the Lord. This is what the Lord of heavenly forces, the God of Israel, says: Improve your conduct and your actions, and I will dwell with you in this place. Don't trust in lies: "This is the Lord's temple! The Lord's temple! The Lord's temple!" No, if you truly reform your ways and your actions; if you treat each other justly; if you stop taking advantage of the immigrant, orphan, or widow; if you don't shed the blood of the innocent in this place, or go after other gods to your own ruin, only then will I dwell with you in this place, in the land that I gave long ago to your ancestors for all time.
And yet you trust in lies that will only hurt you. Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, sacrifice to Baal and go after other gods that you don't know, and then come and stand before me in this temple that bears my name, and say, "We are safe," only to keep on doing all these detestable things? Do you regard this temple, which bears my name, as a hiding place for criminals? I can see what's going on here, declares the Lord. Just go to my sanctuary in Shiloh, where I let my name dwell at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of my people Israel. And now, because you have done all these things, declares the Lord, because you haven't listened when I spoke to you again and again or responded when I called you, I will do to this temple that bears my name and on which you rely, the place that I gave to you and your ancestors, just as I did to Shiloh. I will cast you out of my sight, just as I cast out the rest of your family, all the people of Ephraim.
As for you, don't pray for these people, don't cry out or plead for them, and don't intercede with me, for I won't listen to you. Can't you see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, the fathers light the fire, and the women knead dough to make sacrificial cakes for the queen of heaven. And to offend me all the more, they pour out drink offerings to foreign gods. But am I the one they are really offending? declares the Lord. Aren't they in fact humiliating themselves? Therefore, this is what the Lord God says: I'm going to pour out my fierce anger on this place, on humans and beasts, on the trees of the field and the crops of the fertile land. It will burn and not go out.
Silence may be kept.
New Testament reading
John 6:27-40
Don't work for the food that doesn't last but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Human One will give you. God the Father has confirmed him as his agent to give life."
They asked, "What must we do in order to accomplish what God requires?"
Jesus replied, "This is what God requires, that you believe in him whom God sent."
They asked, "What miraculous sign will you do, that we can see and believe you? What will you do? Our ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, just as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat."
Jesus told them, "I assure you, it wasn't Moses who gave the bread from heaven to you, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. The bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."
They said, "Sir, give us this bread all the time!"
Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But I told you that you have seen me and still don't believe. Everyone whom the Father gives to me will come to me, and I won't send away anyone who comes to me. I have come down from heaven not to do my will, but the will of him who sent me. This is the will of the one who sent me, that I won't lose anything he has given me, but I will raise it up at the last day. This is my Father's will: that all who see the Son and believe in him will have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."
Silence may be kept.
Gospel canticle
The Benedictus (The Song of Zechariah)
You have raised up a mighty savior for us in your servant David's house.
Bless the Lord God of Israel
because he has come to help and has delivered his people.
He has raised up a mighty savior for us in his servant David's house,
just as he said through the mouths of his holy prophets long ago.
He has brought salvation from our enemies
and from the power of all those who hate us.
He has shown the mercy promised to our ancestors,
and remembered his holy covenant,
the solemn pledge he made to our ancestor Abraham.
He has granted that we would be rescued
from the power of our enemies
so that we could serve him without fear,
in holiness and righteousness in God's eyes,
for as long as we live.
You, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High,
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way.
You will tell his people how to be saved
through the forgiveness of their sins.
Because of our God's deep compassion,
the dawn from heaven will break upon us,
to give light to those who are sitting in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide us on the path of peace."
Luke 1:68-79
Glory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and will be forever. Amen.
You have raised up a mighty savior for us in your servant David's house.
Brief silence.
The Apostle's Creed
Let us unite in this historic confession of the Christian faith:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,

born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Collect of the day
Almighty God,
whose Son Jesus Christ fasted forty days in the wilderness,
and was tempted as we are, yet without sin:
give us grace to discipline ourselves in obedience to your Spirit;
and, as you know our weakness,
so may we know your power to save;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
The Lord's Prayer
Trusting in the compassion of God, as our Savior taught us, so we pray
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and forever.
May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love.

One of the struggles I hear most often from new readers is that they have a gnawing feeling of bordom when they think about their future. Many are a few years into their career and know it's time for a change, but have no clue where to start. They feel directionless, foggy and tentative. The age-old "follow your passions" advice is not helpful for those who don't even know what their passions are. Enter today's guest post from Therese Schwenkler;Therese writes for the young & confused at TheUnlost.com, proving that good advice doesn't have to be boring or uncool. Her mission: to bring more & better direction to today's mainstream. Find out why she's getting naked for 3,737 people or Take Therese's hilarious happiness quiz here. Therese tweets at @tschwenkler.
You want to find your life's calling— the work that you're deeply, madly, insanely passionate about.
You're sick of staring out the window and watching the clock. You're sick of that listless feeling in your soul and that dragging feeling in your step. You just can't get the thought out of your head that there's got to be more than this.
But there's one big, fat problem standing in your way: you haven't a clue what your passion might be.
A few years ago I was faced with the very same problem. I made a ton of mistakes before I finally realized that there's a better way to figure things out— a method that, for some odd reason, isn't talked about a whole lot.
Almost every passionate person I've met has used this method, whether knowingly or unknowingly, with great success in discovering their life's path. It's in fact quite simple: rather than trying to jump straight to the endpoint, these people allow their passions to organically evolve.
In other words, they don't try to decide upfront what it is that they should end up doing. Instead, they kindle many small fires, allowing those that spark their interest to naturally progress until they evolve into full-fledged, passionate pursuits.
Let me show you what I mean by this and why it can be so effective. In three simple steps, I'll break this method down for you and show you exactly how to do it. I'll also weave in examples from my own story—i.e., how I went from being an unfocused and passionless college student to finding a pursuit that I'm desperately, madly, passionately in love with (and strangely enough, my pursuit does not involve stalking Brad Pitt).
How to Allow Your Passion to Organically Evolve -- by Therese Schwenkler
1. Try lots and lots and lots of stuff. Sometimes finding your passion is like shopping for jeans: you've got to try on a lot of pairs before you find the right ones. Why? Because no matter how much you window shop, you often can't (& won't) know beforehand which pair will actually fit your sexy a**. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about.
Jeans aside, this is exactly why you're likely to fail if you try to choose a pursuit upfront without having prior exposure— for example, by declaring "I want to be a doctor" or "I want to be a graphic designer" without truly having been exposed to these pursuits. Again, you can't always know beforehand whether or not something will interest you.
On the flip side, there are certain things that you might normally have disregarded from the get-go, but that you might actually end up enjoying if you gave them a chance.
So here's my advice: unless you're absolutely positive that you'll hate something, throw out all your preconceived notions and just try it. It won't kill you at all; in fact, exploration is an essential piece of the organic method.
For example, you could do any of the following:
- Attend local events in the community or on college campuses
- Keep an eye out for people in your social networks or in your community who are doing cool things, then ask to meet up with them and talk about their experiences
- Talk to your friends, acquaintances, or professors (or ex professors) about their pursuits and ask if they know of any interesting projects or events that you might want to participate in
- Take a class, attend a workshop, or read books and blogs to learn more
- Ask to shadow someone at their job or pursuit
- Anything else you can possibly think of
2. Implement the "spark test." Each time you try something new, ask yourself if it sparked your interest in any way. If your answer is no, then you can cross it off your list. But if the answer is yes, then…
3. Follow up. This is perhaps the most important step in this method and it's where 99% of people fall short— in fact, I ignored this step for years at my own peril. I had found several things that passed the "spark test" such as writing, marketing and psychology, but I never followed up with any action, and as a result my newfound interests led me absolutely nowhere. If you pay attention to just one thing today, let it be this: discovering an interest will do you absolutely NO good unless you follow up.
This simply means is that once something sparks your interest, you should actively pursue (or create) opportunities that will expand upon these interests. This could include any of the following:
- Offer to contribute to a related organization in some way. Can you help organize an event or add something to a project or (fill in the blank) here?
- If you encounter an interesting company or an interesting individual, offer to work for free, allowing the potential for paid work down the road
- Start your own project or team up with someone to create a new endeavor
- Anything else you can possibly think of
In my own case, I began following up on my sparked interests in several ways:
- I started my blog, The Unlost, which spins timeless wisdom and advice in a way that appeals to young people.
- I volunteered to write a weekly column for the Boise State University newspaper and I began contributing guest posts to sites like Jenny's.
- I'm scared sh*tless of public speaking, but I'm submitting a talk for a local event and could end up speaking in front of 500+ people next month.
Each of these pursuits builds upon one or several of my sparks, and I can't even pretend to know where they'll end up leading me.
Therein lies the beauty of the organic method: the more that you follow up on even the smallest of sparks, the more they begin to grow into promising new opportunities— opportunities that you couldn't have possibly dreamt of or conceived from the get-go.
So go on, start kindling some fires and watch as your spark grows into an insanely intriguing, wildly passionate, absolutely unstoppable pursuit.
Got questions? Comments? A story of your own? Lemme know in the comments— I wanna hear it all.

INDIANAPOLIS — Eli Lilly and Co. has changed the labeling on its antipsychotic Zyprexa to avoid confusion with Pfizer Inc.'s allergy medicine Zyrtec after some patients were given the wrong drug.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.
- Larry Page's damaged vocal cords: Treatment comes with trade-offs
- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Lilly said in a letter to psychiatrists and pharmacists that it has received 79 reports of such mix-ups since Zyprexa, which is used to treat schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, was introduced in 1996. The letter, dated Jan. 26, was posted Tuesday on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Medwatch Web site.
Patients with psychological disorders who take Zyrtec instead of their regular Zyprexa could be at risk of relapse, but Lilly spokeswoman Heather Lusk said Wednesday that the company had not received any reports of such cases.
Sleepiness most frequent side effect
The most frequently reported effect from the mixed-up medication was excessive sleepiness, which is listed as a potential side effect for both drugs, Lusk said. Some cases required hospitalization, she said, though she did not know how many or details of the symptoms in those cases.
The mix-ups may have occurred because of similarities in the drugs' names and dosage guidelines and the fact that they generally are stored close to each other on pharmacy shelves, Indianapolis-based Lilly said in the letter.
Lilly changed the labeling on Zyprexa from all capital letters to ZyPREXA and highlighted the lettering in yellow to reduce confusion. The company also said it has started direct mail and trade journal advertising and other measures to make pharmacists aware of the errors.
Those steps were taken before Lilly began working on the problem with the FDA, Lusk said.
Officials at New York-based Pfizer, the world's largest drug company, were trying to determine whether they also should take any action, Pfizer spokesman Daniel Watts said.
"It's important to get the medication correct," he said.
Zyprexa is Lilly's top seller, with sales of over $1 billion last year. Pfizer's Zyrtec is the most prescribed antihistamine in the United States.

March 13, 2017
Four current and former Lansing-area members of the Michigan House of Representatives today announced their endorsements of State Representative Andy Schor to be the next Mayor of the City of Lansing. The four announced today are:
- Former Lansing State Representative and former Lansing City Councilwoman Joan Bauer
- House Democratic Leader and Former East Lansing Mayor Sam Singh
- Lansing State Representative Tom Cochran
- Former Lansing State Representative Lynne Martinez
Former State Representative and Lansing City Councilwoman Joan Bauer said, "I am proud to endorse Andy Schor to be our next Mayor. As a City Councilwoman and as a State Representative, I have worked closely with Andy on many important issues for Lansing. His local government experience on the County Commission and his legislative experience in the State House will allow him to work effectively and cooperatively in the region. And his time at the Michigan Municipal League has taught him how to run a city and will help move Lansing forward.
House Democratic Leader and Former East Lansing Mayor Sam Singh said, "I am excited to endorse Andy Schor for Mayor of Lansing. Andy has tremendous experience in local government and knows cities inside and out. In Andy's first year in the legislature, he saved Lansing and other cities millions when he fought for changes to legislation that others had missed. He has championed efforts to increase revenue sharing for police, fire, and other city services. His background as a problem solver led to his appointment to the Governor's Task Force on Municipal Pension and Health Care. Having served as the Mayor of East Lansing, and working regionally with Lansing, I know what it takes to lead a community. Andy Schor is the leader that Lansing needs now to help move the community and region forward."
Lansing State Representative Tom Cochran said, "As state representative and the former Fire Chief for Lansing, I have worked closely with the mayor in Lansing. I am proud to endorse Andy Schor to be the next mayor. Andy understands the intricacies of running a city, and has great relationships regionally. He can talk to city employees as well as make the tough decisions to make Lansing excel into the future. I have enjoyed working with Andy in the Legislature and look forward to continuing that relationship with Andy as the Mayor of Lansing."
Former Lansing State Representative Lynne Martinez said, "I am greatly impressed with the broad range of city issues that Andy Schor worked on while at the Michigan Municipal League. He has also worked across the aisle to pass legislation on issues that matter to us inLansing. I am happy to endorse Andy Schor to lead Lansing, and I am sure Andy will serve us well and make us proud as Mayor."
Schor expressed his thanks, saying "These current and former leaders for Lansing and the Lansing region have been in state and city government, and know what it takes to lead. I thank them for their faith in me to take Lansing to the next level, and to be a leader on behalf of Lansing in the capital area region."
This endorsement follows that of two labor unions, over 30 elected officials in the Lansing region, dozens of Lansing neighborhood leaders and the Greater Lansing Association of Realtors since the kick-off of Schor's candidacy for Lansing Mayor.

Gum Recession Treatment in Garland, TX
Have your gums pulled back from your teeth, exposing your tooth roots and leaving them sensitive? Are you self-conscious about your "toothy" smile? If you think you could benefit from a gum recession treatment in Garland, TX, contact Dr. Kerbel, Dr. Callier, and Dr. Margolin!
At our Garland, TX dentist office, we work with periodontist Dr. Mark Margolin so you can maintain a healthy, beautiful smile from the gums up!
Our Gum Recession Treatment Process
If your gums have receded, we offer two different solutions.
Depending on your situation, Dr. Margolin may be able to use the innovative Chao Pinhole® Surgical Technique. If you are a good candidate for this option, Dr. Margolin will:
- Make a small hole in your gums above the affected area
- Use special tools to loosen your gums
- Gently pull your gumline back down where it should be and hold it in place with collagen strips
The Pinhole technique typically has a short recovery period – many of our patients heal overnight!
Dr. Margolin can also improve your gumline and protect your tooth roots using a gum graft. In this case, he will use a graft of tissue taken from the roof of your mouth to improve your gumline.
We Ensure Your Comfort
Both of our gum recession treatments work very well and have their respective advantages. Regardless of which you choose, we will ensure your comfort by numbing the area before we begin improving your smile.
If you happen to be nervous about the procedure, we can also use dental sedation options to relieve your dental anxiety.
We even provide ceiling-mounted TVs and headphones in every care room so you can enjoy your favorite shows while we work!
To get your ideal gumline back with a gum recession treatment in Garland, TX, call our team at (972) 278-9901. You can also use our online form.

A Restatement of Trust completely replaces and supersedes all of the provisions of the original trust; the name and date of your trust will stay the same, but everything else is replaced by the terms of the restatement.
If you need to make minor changes to your Revocable Trust—such as adding specific gifts, changing your successor Trustee, or updating a beneficiary's legal name—then a simple Amendment will suffice. On the other hand, if you want to make substantial changes—like adding a new spouse as a beneficiary or altering distributions—then you might need a complete Restatement.
Depending on your individual needs and goals, we are here to help you with these changes. Call us today.

Reading a book review in a well-known periodical? Chances are, the byline belongs to a man.
In its annual count of male and female bylines in book reviews, magazines and literary journals, VIDA, a women's literary organization, revealed that in 2013, the publications still largely favored men over women.
At The New York Review of Books, there were 212 male book reviewers and 52 female; at The Atlantic, there were 14 male book reviewers and three female; at Harper's, there were 24 male book reviewers and 10 female.
VIDA tallied bylines in 39 publications, including The New Yorker, The New York Times Book Review, Granta and The New Republic.
Since it began several years ago, the VIDA count has been a reliable conversation-starter about gender disparity in the literary world.
The New Republic followed up the 2010 VIDA count with its own tally of who was writing the books in the first place. The numbers it found, wrote Ruth Franklin, then a senior editor at the magazine, "show that the magazines are reviewing female authors in something close to the proportion of books by women published each year. The question now becomes why more books by women are not getting published."
VIDA — "it isn't an acronym nor does it stand for anything," its website says — was started in 2009 by the poets Erin Belieu and Cate Marvin. It has become best known for its count, which is performed by 10 interns. To ensure accuracy, five people check each publication.
"Because the count frees our national literary community from the gut reactive, the anecdotal, we hope having the VIDA data will allow our community to find the will and means to change the gender bias you see at many of the top-tier publications," said Ms. Belieu, an English professor at Florida State University.
Ms. Belieu said there was marked improvement at some publications last year. In 2012, The Paris Review had 70 male bylines and 18 female; in 2013, it was nearly even, with 47 male bylines and 48 female.
She also cited The New York Times Book Review, which in 2012 had 400 male book reviewers and 327 female; in 2013, it had 412 male book reviewers and 393 female.

The LA Art Show, the largest and most successful platform for contemporary and traditional art in the West, returns to the Los Angeles Convention Center, South Hall J & K, January 15 – 19, 2014. Produced by the Palm Beach Show Group, the 2013 show was a record-breaking success with show hours extended to accommodate more than 50,000 energetic collectors. Participating galleries reported strong sales and more than twenty-five million dollars in transactions were made throughout the 4-day show with many more recorded post-event.
"We have deep roots in Los Angeles and have nurtured them for nearly two decades," states Show Producer Kim Martindale. "This is why we are LA's art show. Our foundation here is strong and our complete art experience format continues to resonate with Angelenos."
The LA Art Show is unique in the art world, providing collectors with an expansive breadth of galleries that crosses contemporary, historic and print genres. Acquired by the Palm Beach Show Group in 2012, the LA Art Show celebrated its most successful show to date in its inaugural year under new ownership. The LA Art Show's distinctive 'fair-within-a-fair,' features four sections in the 180,000 square foot exhibit hall: A Modern & Contemporary Section, Historic & Traditional Contemporary Section, Vintage Poster Section and the LA IFPDA Print Fair. Each section is carefully honed to meet the needs of serious collectors and allows galleries the opportunity to connect with like-minded collectors.
The 2014 LA Art Show will feature an exclusive and impressive collection of galleries selected by the LA Art Show's Gallery Selection Committee, and an exciting roster of programming including an engaging lecture series, ground-breaking special exhibits by top curators, artist book signings, guided show tours, mixers, and evening events.
