The Impact of Antihypertensive Drugs on the Number and Risk of Death, Stroke and Myocardial Infarction in the United States
Genia Long, David Cutler, Ernst R. Berndt, Jimmy Royer, Andrée-Anne Fournier, Alicia Sasser, Pierre Cremieux
NBER Working Paper No. 12096
Estimating the value of medical innovation is a continual challenge. In this research, we quantify the impact of antihypertensive therapy on U.S. blood pressures, risk and number of heart attacks, strokes, and deaths. We also consider the potential for further improvements. We estimate the value of innovation using equations relating blood pressure to adverse outcomes from the Framingham Heart Study. Our results show that without antihypertensive therapy, 1999-2000 average blood pressure for the U.S. population age 40 plus would have been 10-13 percent higher. 86,000 excess premature deaths from cardiovascular disease (2001), and 833,000 hospital discharges for stroke and heart attacks (2002) would have occurred. Life expectancy would be 0.5 (men) and 0.4 (women) years lower. At guideline care, there would have been 89,000 fewer premature deaths (2001) and 420,000 fewer hospital discharges for stroke and heart attack (2002) than observed. Our analysis suggests that antihypertensive therapy has had a significant impact on cardiovascular health outcomes but that mortality gains would have been approximately twice as high if guideline care had been achieved for all.

Members of the European Parliament have called for Turkey to revoke a ban on LGBT events
The Turkish capital city Ankara last weekend banned all LGBT events, citing "public sensitivity". The move came a few days after a German gay film festival was banned from taking place in the city. Any exhibitions, public performances, cultural events and cinema relating to LGBT people, have been banned by the Governor's office.
The Council of Europe Commissioner Nils Muizniek has already criticised the move. And now a letter has been issued, signed by 20 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), calling on Turkey to roll-back the ban, PinkNews reports.
It reads: "We are deeply disturbed by the statement by the Ankara Governor's Office of 19 November regarding the decision to ban indefinitely any event organised by LGBTI organisations, such as the projection of films, staging of theatre plays, panels, discussions and exhibitions, citing "social sensitivities and sensibilities", "public security", "protection of public health and morality" and "protection of others' rights and liberties" as grounds for the ban.
"As Members of the European Parliament, we call on Turkish authorities to immediately revoke this ban and restore the right to freedom of assembly as guaranteed in the Turkish constitution."
Continuing: "This suppression of the freedom of assembly for LGBTI people and their allies, is completely unacceptable and is a blatant violation of international law, to which Turkey is bound. This right was upheld several times by the European Court of Human Rights (notably in Bączkowski and others v. Poland (2007) and Alexeyev v. Russia (2010)). Further the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights protects sexual orientation from discriminatory laws and practices under its Articles 2 and 26, including when it comes to freedom of expression and assembly (Art. 19 and 21).
"The ban is the latest in a series of crackdowns on the LGBTI community and those who speak out in favour of their rights, and the consequences are felt beyond Ankara, as LGBTI events in other cities have been banned too. In Bursa the screening of the film "Gaci Gibi" was banned; in Istanbul the screening of "Queer Shorts" was banned by the District Governorship of Beyoğlu; also the German LGBTI Film Days Festival in Ankara was banned prior to the statement."
Concluding: "Furthermore, we are worried that the ban increased hate speech against the LGBTI community. Following an attack in the media, a workshop on "Gender Based Journalism" in Mardin, which was planned for November 18, had to be cancelled.
"In light of the above we urge Turkish authorities first and foremost to revoke this ban and work to ensure full respect for the right to peaceful assembly of all, including LGBTI people, in line with international law and the Turkish constitution."
The Governor's office in Ankara last month banned a festival which was set to take place that weekend.
"Starting from Nov. 18, 2017, concerning our community's public sensitivity, any events such as [LGBT] cinema, theatre, panels, interviews, exhibitions are banned until further notice in our province to provide peace and security," a statement released on Sunday read.
The festival would have seen four films by German directors over 16-17 November. The Governor's office cited fears of terrorism and public safety concerns.
"Considering that the content could incite grudges and enmity toward a part of society… and the intelligence reports that terror organizations are seeking to attack dissentient groups or individuals, it is evaluated that this film screening could be provocative and draw reactions," said the Ankara governor's office in a statement.
Earlier this year, a Pride event was cancelled for the second consecutive year, and when demonstrators took to the streets anyway, several were detained by authorities.

Good enough for what? For someone to pick me, to think I'm worth investing in as a writer. Good enough to have someone give me free room and board and possibly to pay me a stipend as well. Good enough for someone else to think it's any good.
My writing doesn't fit the contemporary trend. It doesn't fit what I was taught was "good writing" in my college creative writing courses. It doesn't look or sound like the writing I admire. There is an element of my writing not yet being equal to my taste level, but more than that it's an issue of my writing being different.
But different isn't bad; it's just...different. The reason my writing doesn't sound like anyone else's is because it's my unique voice, and that's never been put out there before. I'm making conscious decisions about style and subject that are risky because they're unpopular right now. But you know what? Publishers didn't like Virginia Woolf's style at first, either. (Not that I'm a Virginia Woolf. Just saying.)
What I finally realized yesterday is that I'm at another crossroads in my career. The first step for me was deciding to give this whole writing thing a solid go, which I did two years ago. Now the question I face is: Do I keep writing despite the lack of encouragement or appreciate I may get from my peers in the writing world, or do I say, "Well, I gave it a shot," and give up?
Obviously I'm not giving up.
How, then, do I move forward again? How do I overcome the crisis of confidence and get back into a daily writing practice after nearly two months of neglecting my creative projects?
In the last week or two, I've noticed that I've been getting creative ideas. A story idea or a line or an image will pop into my head. But instead of writing it down, I let it fade. Why? Because I've judged them prematurely and decided that, while they may be entertaining or interesting to me, they're not worth the energy it would take to actually write them down.
Wait, what? My Muse gives me a present, and I say, "Oh, that's really nice and I like it, but it would take too much effort for me to raise my arms to accept it, so you can keep it. Or let it fall on the ground. Whatever."? Well now that's just rude.
I've noticed in the past that the more I validate my ideas by writing them down - even if they don't turn into full-blown stories or poems, even if I never look at them again - the more ideas I have, the more excited I feel about writing, and the more energized I feel by doing it.
So step one: quit judging. Write it all down. Go to my journal and write down the few things I remember from the past week that I didn't write down in the moment. And then step two: start showing up on a daily basis and continue writing down everything, regardless of whether I think it's any good.
And this brings me to...
ROW80 Round 4 Goals
"A Round of Words in 80 Days is the writing challenge that knows you have a life."
I have four goals for the final round of ROW80 2014, which starts on Monday, October 6th. (Omg, the year is almost over already?!? Whaaaa???). In order of importance, these goals are:
Show up to writing 2-3 hours/day. At this moment in time, it's not appealing to me to try to dictate what projects I work on. Of course I want to finish some of the things I've gotten underway, but it's more important for me to reestablish and maintain a daily writing practice than it is for me to finish writing a particular thing.
Be an active ROW80 sponsor. I've volunteered to be a sponsor for this round of ROW80. Yay! Sponsoring involves writing one inspirational post that'll go up on the ROW80 blog at some point during the round and checking in with participants twice a week. Last time I sponsored, I learned a lot from the other participants and strengthened my sense of being in a writing community, so I'm looking forward to this.
Read for fun. Reading good writing ignites my creativity. Reading bad writing inspires me to write. Therefore reading is important to my writing process. Plus, it's something I can do that doesn't take a lot out of me and doesn't involve staring at a computer screen. So to start with, my goal is one book a week. Unless it's Stephen King's The Stand (which is over 1,000 pages and took me nearly two weeks to read), I should be able to read any book in a week or less. Of course I'm not limiting myself to only one book a week, especially if I happen upon a series that sucks me in and doesn't let go. ;*)
Continue posting twice a week on this blog. Writing posts for this blog prompts me to reflect on my writing life, which I find useful. It's kind of like being my own writing coach. It also provides a medium for connecting with other writers who have similar experiences. And yes, it's also my business site, and posting regular content is one of my marketing strategies. All excellent reasons to maintain quality content here.
What are your writing goals for this fall? Are you going to participate in ROW80, NaNoWriMo and/or some other writing challenge? What do you do to break free from a crisis of confidence?

Many Christians Misled About Israel and the End Times, Author Argues
The Rev. Gerald Haug, an author and member of the Assemblies of God, the largest collection of Pentecostal denominations with some 62 million members worldwide, insists in a follow-up interview with The Christian Post that believers have been misled about many End Times events, such as the identity of "the last generation" referenced in the book of Matthew, and what the Bible says about modern-day Israel.
Haug's book, Ortho-Millennialism: Bringing Order to End-Time Chaos, focuses on analyzing the books of the Bible that might offer clues on the timing of the Rapture – and the minister claims his work dispels all speculation and proves with absolute certainty that Jesus will not be returning to Earth for at least another 100 years.
"There is no speculation in my book. It dispels any speculation. What these modern TV preachers talk about is utter nonsense – they are not understanding Revelation correctly. It is all absolutely wrong, it is unbiblical, ungodly, and it is a deception being forced on the church, which is undermining people's faith in God. That's how serious it is," he previously warned of Pre-millennial beliefs.
Haug defines Pre-millennialsm as the most recent and popular Evangelical view of the Bible, which surfaces in the early 1800s through the teachings of John Nelson Darby. A key aspect of this view is Israel – that God has not given up on His chosen people despite unbelief in Jesus as Messiah, and that End Times events will provide one last chance for unbelievers to repent.
According to this view, Haug describes the Rapture as a time when Jesus Christ will return to destroy the anti-Christ, to imprison Satan, and to introduce his millennial reign on Earth, which is believed to be a literal 1,000 years, at some point in which believers will ascend into heaven with Christ while unbelievers will be left on Earth to be judged by God for their sins.
In Chapters six and seven of Ortho-Millennialism, Haug addresses a much-discussed verse in the Bible, Matthew 24:34 (NIV), where in Jesus responds to questions from his disciples about "the sign of [his] coming and of the end of the age" by saying: "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."
The events described in Matthew, which many say unfolds in the modern-day Middle East, have prompted many evangelical Christians, including Joel Rosenberg, a New York Times best-selling author who has extensive experience in Middle East affairs, to issue a warning that biblical end-time events might be on the horizon.
Other Middle East experts in recent times have also warned of the very real possibility of a new war involving Israel soon – including Bill Salus, an author, researcher and lecturer who focuses on the prophetic relevance of current Middle East and world events. He claims that the Rapture, will soon occur – and that Christians today might be living in the last days.
These warnings are largely based on the prospect of war between Iran and Israel, as Iranian leaders have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel, allegedly continues building weapons of mass destruction despite international pressure to stop its program. Iran insists that its uranium enrichment program is not meant to create weapons, but Israel feels threatened, and concerns are that it may be planning a pre-emptive attack against Iran.
Haug, however, argues that nothing that is happening in the Middle East today relates to the events described in the Bible – because they have already occurred. He produces a detailed breakdown of biblical passages and historical events showing what he believes is how each of Jesus' prophesies have already come to pass, and that his words in Matthew 24:34 can be taken literally – as he was referring to the generation in the first century A.D., Haug insists.
This, according to Haug, means that the Rapture has already happened. By his definition, in fact, the Rapture, as believed by some evangelical Christians to be a time when Jesus will come to take believers into heaven and leave unbelievers on Earth to experience God's judgment, is a wrong understanding. He explains that the word "rapture" is never actually written in the Bible, and the above referenced theory is what evangelical followers have simply been conditioned to believe.
"What people don't understand is what is 'the end of the age,'" Haug told The Christian Post. "My book is very systematic – but most of the Pre-millennial people on the television shows, they are typically not very systematic in their discussion of all of eschatology. If you take things out of context, it is very easy to make any point."
The author insisted that people in America tend to focus only on the practical, and do not like to do any of the heavy-lifting to try and figure out what Scripture means in its original context.
"In my experience, having lived in both Europe and the United States, Pre-millennialism is very popular in America, in the Evangelical church. However, it is less popular in Europe – because Europeans tend to be a bit more thorough in their study. They want to know what is the foundation for any particular metaphysical belief. In America, however, we do not want to be concerned with such details, we want to go straight to the application."
Haug stressed that no matter how much talk there is currently about the Middle East crisis mirroring events in the book Matthew, it is simply falsehood, because those events have already passed.
"They are saying that simply because they are taking verses out of context. Jesus was very specific about which generation these events will happen. People are saying current Middle East events, such as the threat of nuclear-war hovering over Israel from Iran, are mirroring the Bible, but they are not reading it right. The current State of Israel has absolutely nothing to do with the Israel of the Old Testament," he insisted.
Haug added, "People like Joel Rosenberg have been very outspoken and would argue with me on this point. But what happens in the Middle East has no bearing on what the Bible is. This is further evidence by all the false prophesies we have had of who the anti-Christ is – we have had people say it is Henry Kissinger, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, the list goes on.
"The Bible makes it clear that many of these false prophets – who make false predictions about the anti-Christ, should be stoned. They should be punished so that they don't influence others with their false predictions."
Haug claimed that people being deceived by Pre-millennialism views are in danger of adapting a very incorrect understanding of the Gospel.
"The average Christian who just wants to serve God is very confused, because the conservative side tells him these untrue Pre-millennial views, while the liberal side tells him that the Bible can't be trusted. This leads him to a very unhappy Christian life.
"If you look at these TV evangelists, they spend most of their time interpreting the newspaper and trying to make it fit with the Bible – well that's very easy to do, I can also take Scriptures out of context and try to say it applies to this or that. As Hitler said – if you tell a lie a thousand times it becomes the truth."
The Rev. Haug is currently a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God and is active in teaching and discipling international students in the United States, China, and Russia.
In the next report on Ortho-Millennialism: Bringing Order to End-Time Chaos, Haug discusses his views of what precisely happens to believers and unbelievers once they pass away – and when the Second Coming, or Christ's return to Earth, might occur.

To join the discussion about Gay and Catholic, or to order a copy, go here.
I know a lot of people who are gay and Catholic, on both sides of the altar. Contrary to the media yammerings, being Gay and Catholic is something of a commonplace.
I've never personally known someone who was Catholic and gay who hated the Church the way that we hear they should. What I have seen is a number of people who are doing just like so many Catholics. They are obedient to the Church's teachings to varying degrees, but they are sincere to the core in their longing for the transcendent love of God.
I know gay Catholics who are in loving sexual relationships. I know gay Catholics who have lived their lives and almost certainly will die in the closet. I know gay Catholics who have marriages, children, grandchildren and who live two lives, a secret one as gay and the one they present to the world and to their families as straight. I know gay Catholics who are single and, so far as I can tell, living celebate lives.
What I haven't known until I came to Patheos was gay Catholics who openly discussed their sexuality in terms of their acceptance of the teachings of Catholic Church. I had not met the willingness to discuss their own gay-ness within an intellectual and lived framework of obedience to Christ in an open and honest way.
I had not, in short, met Eve Tushnet.
Eve, whether she puts it in these words or not, is striving toward the wonderful objective that Margaret Rose Realy states so beautifully, "Being pleasing to God."
Margaret's faith and her elucidation of that message have been a beacon to me in these days of my retreat, a light showing the way forward. When I read Eve Tushnet's book, Gay and Catholic, I recognized that I was reading the message of a person who is also striving to "be pleasing to God" with her life.
There is no one story for how to apply the love and lordship of Christ to our lives. Each one of us has our uniqueness which we bring to that way of living. But "being pleasing to God" must — must — begin with accepting that Christ is the Lord of all life, and most particularly and most demandingly, of our own lives.
Jesus does not force us to follow HIm. He lets us choose. He lets us say no. He even, just as He did during His passion, lets us mock Him and attack Him and deny Him.
We chose to follow Christ, to make Him the Lord of our lives, each of us, of our own free will. Or we refuse.
Obfuscations and claims of following Christ without actual followership do not count in this choice. What matters is if you actually live out that choice on a daily basis. That means living lives that are profoundly counter-cultural. It does not matter what your culture is, you will not "fit" with its worldly zeitgeist if Jesus Christ is truly and absolutely the Lord of your life. It is not possible.In that way, Eve Tushnet's decision to accept a celebate life is no different from the many decisions that Christians all over the world must make. It certainly is not so fraught as the decisions to follow Him that Christians who are imprisoned and murdered for their faith are forced to make.
But the decision to give up her will for His will is Eve Tushnet's gift of herself to Christ.
That, at bottom, is what accepting Jesus Christ as Lord means. It means making a free gift of yourself and your choices to Him. It is not possible to make such a radical commitment to Christ and still be comfortably aligned with the world. In this way, gay Catholics face the same choices as all other followers of Christ.
Eve Tushnet seeks to develop a paradigm of friendship as a way to live out the vocation of celebacy without inflicting the aridity of isolation and loneliness on oneself. In truth, friendships are the elixir of life, and once again, that applies to all of us. Katrina Fernandez, who struggles with the loneliness of a single mother, is just as much in need of loving friendships as the gay Catholic sitting in the pew in front of her.
Friendship, real friendship, is a lost art in our culture of immediate satisfactions and raging political divisiveness. That is a tragedy which reflects our deeper alienation from God.
I say this because the more you love God and the longer you walk with Christ, the more fully you see that we are all the same underneath our artificial differences. We are all scared and alone, pitted and stained, lost and isolated. We all crave the infinite and we all need forgiveness and love.
The rageful craziness of our society as it plunges into a steepening descent, is a manifestation of what happens when people seek these things inside themselves instead of finding them in God.
The antidote to this raw, keening alienation is the complete freedom of accepting that Jesus Christ is Lord, and by that I mean, that Jesus Christ is Lord of you.
For the gay person, no less or even no different, from the rest of us, that means laying the whole of ourselves, including our sexuality, on the altar of His love. But that does not mean that gay people should live lives of solitary confinement inside their gayness.
We were made by a triune God Who understands fellowship, Who made us for fellowship, with one another and with Him.
In Gay and Catholic, Eve Tushnet begins the discussion about how this fellowship might look for a celebate gay Catholic. I don't think her suggestions are the final discussion about this. I think they are the beginning of a great dialogue, which, if it is to be truly meaningful, must be based on the acknowledgement that this need applies to far more people than just those with homosexual orientation. It is a human discussion, about universal human needs.
We were made for God, and for one another. Friendship is a human need that is probably stronger and certainly more persistent than our sexual longings.
I like Gay and Catholic so much that I've bought copies to give to gay Catholic friends of mine. I am interrupting my retreat to write this review because I think that Gay and Catholic begins a discussion that is long overdue and which we desperately need to have.

Patient Stories
"It's simple: Never give up."
When he walked, Lamar Baker felt like there was a golf ball stuck under his foot. His doctors initially thought it might be a strain, but further testing led to a shattering diagosis.
Lamar had Multiple Sclerosis. He was only 20 years old.
At first, Lamar was angry. He couldn't believe this had happened to him. After all, life was good for this former high school basketball star. He was pursuing a communications degree and had a young son to care for. As he came to accept the diagnosis, he made the decision that MS was not going define his life. "Why should it?"
"I know this is a degenerative disease. I've struggled with the loss of function. I've had exacerbations that landed me at Kessler's Center for Neurological Rehabilitation both as an inpatient and an outpatient. I need to use a walker and sometimes a wheelchair. But with the support and encouragement I've received, especially from my family and friends, I've found the strength to fight this."
Lamar is fighting not only for himself, but for his son. "He's my world and it's because of him that I strive to get better."
Lamar is diligent about his exercise regimen, excited about promising new medications, and hopeful about the future. He says he'd like to become a national spokesperson for MS. "You have to dream big."

I am so sorry it's taken me so long to get the rest of these results up to you. Mission:Husband was on the ball, and I felt like I was really far behind! I spoke at our church's women's advance last weekend and preparing for that took me a lot of time. I'm pretty sure I made it harder than it really was! I know that God gave me the right words to say, even though I was a little unsure!
This post is going to be the women's results from the survey. It has all the numbers from the questions. The pictures are a little hard to read, just click on them and they open in a slideshow. In follow-up posts I'm going to address some of the issues I see that we are doing great (as a whole) on and some of the things I learned reading the answers from the husbands.
Thanks again for being a part of Mission:Wife, I am blessed by all of you!

Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation. Isaiah 12:2
Isaiah had been speaking about how God was going to punish and destroy Judah. The destruction of the nation was going to be great and the people were going to be sent into exile. This destruction was going to last for nearly 2,000 years as a nation.
As with every destruction of a nation, it would be horrible. People would be killed, imprisoned, tortured, enslaved, separated from families, and ridiculed. It would be a war upon the nation, and no war is pretty.
Yet, Isaiah gives praise to God and speaks of God being his salvation. Isaiah knew that in spite of everything that was going to happen, God would be with him and keep him. The ultimate salvation was to be found in Jesus. Jesus would save from the sins for all eternity.
Today there is destruction and war going on all around a person. Economies are failing, disease is rampant, hatred is high, and fear is everywhere. Looking at this world it is difficult to see any hope of a good future.
Believers look on the way their nation is going and are often in fear for their children. In many places, being a Christian is harder now than it was when a person was younger. Violence against Christian belief keeps rising.
Yet, in spite of all that is happening and seen in this world, if you are a believer in Jesus, you can know the salvation He has for you. There is a freedom in knowing that your sins are forgiven and you are in the right standing with God that the world cannot know. There is freedom from fear in knowing that you will live for eternity with God.
You do not have to be afraid of the way things are going in this world. Jesus has already overcome this world when He rose from the dead. No power is greater on this earth than death, yet Jesus conquered death.
Jesus is your strength, defense and salvation. Trust in Him and do not fear this world, despite what is going on around you. In the end you will win!
I pray today that you will know Jesus as your salvation; that you will not fear this world; that you will not fear destruction; and that you will know the hope and salvation you can have in Jesus.

UAV intrusion: Iranian act of belligerence against US and Israeli military targets
October 7, 2012
However Israeli official spokesmen present the incident of Saturday, Oct. 6, the penetration of Israeli air space by a large unmanned helicopter should not have been allowed to happen. The surprise interloper should have been shot down before spending nearly half an hour over southern Israel. The incident showed ID intelligence and command not up to handling enemy surprises, even after countless drills and exercises.
Four months ago, on July 20, Hizballah's leader Hassan Nasrallah said in a speech, "The resistance movement will surprise Tel Aviv in any future war."
Hizballah with Iranian backing almost certainly proved its point Saturday, very likely in collaboration with its Palestinian ally, Hamas.
Our intelligence experts note that before the Israeli Air Force fighters scrambled to shoot it down, the intruder would have had enough time for its surveillance equipment to beam to its Iranian control station, wherever it was, the electronic signatures of US and Israeli military installations within its purview in the South and the Negev.
This was a major lapse.
The alien aircraft should have been intercepted the moment it flew in from the Mediterranean and entered the skies of the Gaza Strip. By then, it was clearly seen heading toward Beersheba. Had there been weapons aboard, the incident would have ended in a worse disaster, reminding Israel of its worst nightmare: an Iranian plane flying over with a nuclear bomb.
The Rest…HERE

Tell me how to think, tell me how to feel, tell me exactly what you mean because I can't possibly figure it out for myself. Misunderstand what I'm saying, put words in my mouth, make an honest, measured comment out to be a hate-speech laughing at the plight of others.
Tell me I'm wrong, never let yourself be told you're wrong by me. Claim amnesty and immunity from reason, yet use that same reason to attack me. Lure me in with the carrot then beat the living piss out of me with the stick.
Laugh at me, never with me. Dance like no one is watching, but always watch me dancing. Fear nothing but fear itself, but make me fear you.
I am, of course, talking about my ex. No, wait – I mean 'the world as it seems'. This is a bit of an irritation from today that seems to have blown up into a way more dramatic intro than it ever needed to be.
What I wanted to get at was this ridiculous culture of having to explain oneself, all the time, for everything. It's one of the biggest negative points of living in a world so closely connected, yet connected in such an unemotional way. All the smilies in the world don't substitute for good old fashioned inflection (and hand waving (and amazing facial features)).
And it works both ways. It works in the way that I am seemingly forced to explain that saying I don't care if a chain of shops is shutting down is not the same as saying "I am glad thousands are out of work". I shouldn't have to explain that, because it's fucking obvious.
It also works in the way that people feel the need to head it off at the pass (or at least editorialise in everyday life), telling me of how something that is clearly tragic is tragic. Newsflash, hotshot: I'm not thick. A lot of people aren't thick. The death of dozens of kids doesn't have to be asterisked with the small print pointing out to me that I should find this news saddening in some way.
Well, unless I'm a psychopath, in which case I would need to be told how to feel. But then, that wouldn't really matter. I'd probably be the one that caused those kids to die in the first place.
AND ANOTHER THING: jokes are never 'too soon'.
I need to go to bed. Or to watch Friends until this angry malaise passes (which will seemingly be Never).
I wish I was as good at writing as Dr Thompson.
I'm going to have a coffee.

Hello Beauties! 🙂
Today I am gonna review a face wash from a new brand "Inveda" (new for me at least 😛 ) which I recently gave a try to. This is the first product that I have tried from them. It's basically meant for Normal to Sensitive Skin, read on to know how this face wash worked on my dry skin-
Price- INR 150/- for 100ml
About- Effective Blend of Rose & Patchouli in this Face Wash is adept in removing impurities from skin without disturbing pH balance. It not only cleanses but also has a moisturizing & soothing effect. Its delicate blend makes it perfect for Normal to Sensitive Skin.
Claims- When used, gives luxurious & sensual feel and also smells good. Cleanses without making the skin dry.
Directions to use- Lightly massage with a few drops on wet skin & rinse off with water. Then apply Moisturizer to seal in natural moisture.
Ingredients- Aqua (Water), Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, Coco Amido Propyl Betaine, Coco Di Ethenol Amide, Sodium Chloride, Poly Quaternium 39, Sodium Lactate, Glycerin,Rosa Chinensis (Rose) Extract, Sodium PCA, Fragrance, Pogostemon Cablin(Patchouli) Leaf, Dimethicone & PEG 12, Allantion, Disodium EDTA, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, Benzyl Alcohol, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Citric Acid,Menthol, CI-17200
My take on Inveda Soothing Rose & Patchouli Face wash- I am always up for trying out new face washes available in market and that made me buy this one. The face wash is unisex and it comes in a brown and orange colored tube pack with a golden screw cap which makes packaging look very attractive. This is the first time I have used a face wash that has a screw cap. I like how "Oh My Goodness" is written on the front side. The opening of the tube comes sealed with a silver foil wrap, the fragrance is okay okay types. The consistency is super runny, you keep it "Ulta" and it will come out on its own with no exertion of pressure, which I disliked very much because that always gave me more quantity than required every time I used it. It creates less lather and doesn't clean my facial skin properly and leaves behind a soapy feeling which makes me splash more and more water on my face to get rid of it properly. The worst was that I got a burning sensation on my face after using this. It's totally not my types.
Here is a swatch –
What I like about Inveda Soothing Rose & Patchouli Face wash-
- It's a unisex facewash
- Travel friendly
- Attractive Packaging.
What I don't like about Inveda Soothing Rose & Patchouli Face wash-
- Caused skin irritation.
- Doesn't clear skin with perfection.
- Post-wash moisturization is badly required.
- This was supposed to be soothing, but it wasn't for me. 🙁
This one was a dud for me, I bought 2 more products from them, will be reviewing them soon too ! Hoping them to perform better.

Ron Paul's Foot Soldiers Start A Revolution
It is easy to see that Ron Paul is an honest politician who wants what is best for America and it's people.Look at how badly the corrupt media treats him.That's not surprising because much of the media is owned by Military Industrial Corporations.Others seeking nomination wont get attacked by the media because they are all for perpetuating Wars that only harm the USA.They will get the support of the media controlled by the Military Industrial Corporations..Ron Paul voted against the Patriot Act, he voted against the war in Libya, he voted against the FISA bill, etc.,Ron Paul is and was the only member of Congress who called this disaster before it happend. He is so far ahead of the curve that it is ridiculous. Barney Frank, The Clinton's, The bush's, ect, ect, all the same, two sides of the same coin.

You know, Mike, the U.S., the world, is in such a mess, I don't believe any one person can solve the problems. I especially distrust the wealthy who create and pass laws that benefit themselves. Would Ron Paul be different from the others if elected? I appreciate your believing in someone, but I doubt he would be.
I believe it's falling to 'the people' to change the world. Thank you for always making me think. :)

Hello Pam:
I am not endorsing Ron Paul or any other Political candidate, just suppying information. I don't believe that there are any political solutions to our problems until we as a race make a major shift in our consciousness.
I say we need to clean House completely.
Thanks for the comment,

Kennedy Center Awards. Attendees of the star studded gala and tribute concert included Hilary Clinton, both Obamas, James Taylor, various governors, and more. The awards were musical, but also about charity work and morals of these performing artists. The Kennedy Center Awards Gala was broadcast in full with the concert yesterday on CBS. At McCartney's request, Steven Tyler performed the Abbey Road medley at the gala. "I got called up by Paul McCartney and he asked me to sing the last four songs of 'Abbey Road' so I said 'Umm OK.' (I'm) doing it," Tyler told American radio station 95.9 WATD-FM earlier. Here's the result, as broadcast by CBS yesterday.
The 41-year-old singer Gwen Stefani and "No Doubt" performed the Beatles songs "Hello Goodbye" and "Penny Lane" for Sir Paul, Dave Grohl and Norah Jones performed Sir Paul's solo track "Maybe I'm Amazed", while singer-songwriter James Taylor and gospel vocalist Mavis Staples closed the show with "Let It Be" and "Hey Jude", bringing Sir Paul and President Obama to their feet.
I believe the inclusion of "Maybe I'm Amazed" in this concert is what prompted Sir Paul to start performing this song at his own concerts again, starting with the gig at the Apollo Theatre in New York City nine days later. The song was a mainstay in McCartney's live repertoire ever since the first Wings concerts in 1972, but was dropped around five years ago.

Discovering Olbrich [pt. 1]
August 26, 2010
Some weeks ago, I dragged [c] to the Leopold Museum to visit the large retrospective dedicated to the oeuvre of Art Nouveau architect Joseph Maria Olbrich [1867-1908].* Although Olbrich certainly was one of the artistic 'masterminds' behind the typical look of Viennese Art Nouveau architecture and a leading personality within the Viennese arts and crafts movement, his name is not as far-famed as for example those of his contemporaries Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann or Gustav Klimt. The large-scale exhibition presents over 300 works by Olbrich, including drawings, water colours, architectural models, furniture, textiles and tableware designed by this universal artist. Additionally, a wide range of old photographs help the visitor to grasp the feeling of the era, and convey a good sense of the intertwinement of architecture and interior design typical for the time. All in all, the exhibition was so inspiring that we decided to do some kind of follow-up by visiting the few but important architectonical imprints Olbrich has left within Vienna before he moved to the Darmstadt Artists' Colony in 1899.
Our first path lead us to a rather obscure building, namely the Clubhaus des Radfahrvereins der Staats- und Hofbeamten [Clubhouse of the Bicycling Association of State and Court Civil Servants] in the Wiener Prater. Although it is situated within half an hour's walk from our apartment, we did not know of its existence until the exhibition, and therefore were very excited to visit this little hidden design jewel:
Olbrich got the commission for this building in 1898, at a time when the Prater, although open for the public, still belonged to the reigning Habsburgian family. The fact that the architect was asked to design the Court's Bicycling Association's Clubhouse, on the one hand mirrors his at the time growing status as a renowned artist, but also reflects the importance of bicycling as a prestigious sport and pastime for the Fin-de-Siècle Viennese middle and upper classes.The building's function as a venue for a sportive elite has not changed during the last 110 years. As you can see from the photograph above, it is still used as a private Clubhouse for a Tennis Club and not accessible without special request. However, the little glimpses one can catch through the trees and hedges nevertheless reveal some of Olbrich's architectural trademarks, including a very light and rather ephemeral overall appearance and a dominant centre part with a very peculiar round arch form. Interestingly, one comes across such arched shapes in other Viennese architectonical contexts as well:
This is one of Otto Wagner's famous Art Nouveau pavilions which were erected in 1898, in the course of the Stadtbahn [city railway] construction. Wagner [1841-1918] was one of Vienna's most influential architects and a very important leading figure in developing the modern architectural style the city would become famous for. As the general planner of the urban railway he had a big company with numerous engineers and architects working for him, and in 1893, Joseph Maria Olbrich also joined Wagner's agency. One thing we learned at the exhibition is, that most of the detailed drawings and plans for the Stadtbahn project were presumably sketched and drawn by Olbrich and that it is therefore very likely that a considerable part of those particular Viennese Art Nouveau features generally ascribed to Wagner, actually reflect Olbrich's ideas and style.
However, there is one particular – very famous – building in Vienna whose attribution to Olbrich is beyond controversy:
More on that some other time…
* 'to drag' might be a little to harsh a term – although I may be the more active pursuer of Art Nouveau in general and of Viennese Art Nouveau in particular, [c] is a very enthusiastic companion of all endeavours in this particular art historical area…

SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT: Bruiser Queen Presents "The 12 Bassists of Christmas" at Off Broadway!
November 18, 2013
Straight from the crazy and creative minds of Bruiser Queen's Jason Potter and Morgan Nusbaum comes The 12 Bassists of Christmas, a holiday spectacular featuring a cast of St. Louis musical all-stars. We're talking choice players from bands like Pretty Little Empire, CaveofswordS, The Blind Eyes, Bunnygrunt, and more, all joining BQ on-stage WITH a giant tambourine ensemble for an unforgettable performance.
So, a bass-heavy local show being put on by one of the area's premier guitar and drums duos…wait…what? We went to the source (J. Potter) for the skinny on this magical, goofy-ass event. Says Potter:
This show is the realization of an idea that we've had for well over a year. We love tambourine in a recorded and live setting, so it actually started there. Often times during shows, people will spontaneously hop on stage and sing along and shake whatever they can find during our last song, "Old Man Winter." So, the idea of a planned bunch of people on stage with us frantically shaking it for the "World's Largest Tambourine Ensemble" in (and out) of time completely cracked us up.
The bassists aspect stems from being a guitar/drums duo. There are advantages (ease of travel, writing, scheduling, rehearsing) of not having a bassist, but also drawbacks. Morgan was a bassist herself until we formed this band (essentially), and we're always flirting with the idea of adding someone on bass to our line-up. St. Louis is home to so many great bassists, so it took us a year of convincing 12 of them that joining us on one song apiece would be a good idea (results pending). This is sort of our way of dipping our toe in the bassist water.
The number is an obvious play on the Twelve Days of Christmas, and lucky for us, two of our favorite and best friend bands – Middle Class Fashion and Sleepy Kitty – were available to join us for the night.
So not only are fans being treated to an amped-up (bassed-up?) Bruiser Queen performance, they'll also be getting opening sets from MCF and SK, two of the area's best bets time and time again when it comes to live shows. Thanks to BQ for sharing this announcement with IWTAS and our readers. We can wait to shake whatever we can find on the 14th.

i wrote a piece about this event as well. respect to the bassists!

When we look at organizations, is it the totality of the stock value (market capitalization)? Is it revenue per year? Is it profit? Is it the number of branches or outlets? Is it the number employed? The number of customers? The size of their warehouses or truck fleets?
When you discuss institutions and organizations, you need to decide what factors are important in your comparison. If your group has lots of employees but makes no money, is that a problem? It might be a non-profit, serving its customers in many ways without having to generate returns for its owners. It could be the biggest, best, non-profit-making group in the world.
Today we'll look at a group of the world's BIGGEST organizations, measured by the number of employees. All the figures come directly from the company websites or annual reports, checked yesterday. [Click the chart to see a larger version]
Walmart Worldwide = 2,050,000
National Health Service UK = 1,700,000
McDonalds Corp. and Franchisees Worldwide = 1,600,000
Indian Railways India only = 1,540,000
State Electric Grid of China = 1,500,000
People's Liberation Army China = 1,250,000
China National Petroleum China = 1,005,000
Foxconn Technology Group China = 1,000,000
US Postal Service USA = 584,000
Carrefour Retail Stores Worldwide = 475,000
Agricultural Bank of China = 441,144
Deutsche Post Germany = 420,000
Siemens AG Germany = 405,000
United Parcel Service UPS Worldwide = 400,600
These organizations employ 14,370,744 divided by 14 = an average of 1,026,482 people each!
You can see that this is a mixed bag, including retailing, state-run organizations, and manufacturing; military, railroads, utility companies, banks, post offices. So it's not appropriate to compare them by revenue or products delivered, or retail outlets!
Of course there are other ways to measure BIGNESS. Here is a condensed version Wikipedia's article on Market Capitalization:
Market capitalization is a measurement of size of a corporation equal to share price times the number of outstanding shares purchased by investors of a publicly-traded company. Since owning a share is ownership of a fraction of the company, capitalization represents the public's opinion of a company's value.
As of today, January 18, 2010, the three largest companies in the world by this measure ( in US dollars ) are
- $396.9 billion Exxon Mobil
- $312.5 billion Apple Computer
- $254.7 billion PetroChina

This Amazon isn't the perfect show ready classic you've been looking for -- but it does offer a combination of patina and price that isn't bad. The 4-door sedan version of the Amazon offers more practicality than the 2-door version at the expense of "sportiness." In truth there will be no discernible difference, like-for-like.
Under the hood is a version of Volvo's B-series inline-4 that puts out 86 horsepower and 103 ft-lbs of torque from its 1.8 liter displacement. The seller has gone through the engine and replaced a few parts recently, so it runs better than it looks.
The interior is a disaster, and needs to be completely redone, but while you've got it stripped you can take a look at the rust holes in the driver's floor and stop the aftermarket sunroof from leaking.

My cooking in the summertime is all about two things. First, use as much of the delicious local produce as humanly possible before it is suddenly February and those tomatoes and peaches and fresh herbs are just a wistful memory. And secondly, get in and out of the kitchen as fast as you can, because it's hot, and it's summer, and you belong outside on the patio under the umbrella with a wine spritzer. And some ricotta tomato toasts!
Here's what you need for this one: some sliced bread – I bought a mini-ciabiatta roll at the supermarket, but you could use sourdough, Italian bread or any kind of substantial bread. Slice it about 1/2 inch thick and brush both sides with some olive oil.
Next, tomatoes. I like cherry tomatoes for this one. These days you can get the local ones in all kinds of pretty colors.
Our farm market had home-grown grape tomatoes that were still warm from the field. Yes please.
Next, the nicest ricotta you can find. Which you can absolutely go and buy, but trust me when I say if you have a spare 10 minutes, you can also make your own and it will be better than anything you can buy. Click here for that super-simple recipe. And here's my favorite shot of my own ricotta draining over the sink.
Okay! First you want to toast up your bread. You can do that in the toaster, but I like to grill mine. It gives it that delectable charred taste that you are only going to get from your grill. That is the extent of the cooking involved in this one – all that is left is to spoon a generous – generous I tell you! – amount of ricotta on the grilled bread, shower it with tomatoes, drizzle some olive oil on top and grind some black pepper over the whole thing.
This makes a fabulous and substantial appetizer, but I once again decided this was just fine for dinner, and that's what the Southern husband got that night.
He seemed pretty happy.Print

Walk Turkey's Beautiful 'Honey Road' This Summer for a Sweet Taste of Local Culture
The scenic paths connecting small villages in northeast Turkey have been trod for centuries by nomadic herders. This summer, small groups of adventurous travelers will follow in their footsteps, tasting artisanal honey all along the way.
The walking tours, the first of their kind, are part of an inspiring new social venture that combines small-scale eco-tourism, local food, traditional culture, and rural development. Called "Balyolu" (Honey Road), it is the brainchild of Cat Jaffee, a 25-year-old Colorado native who fell in love with the wild landscape and warm people around the remote Turkish city of Kars.Endless Varieties of Local Honey
Stunningly beautiful but little-visited, this part of northeast Turkey has largely been spared from the over-development that plagues much of the country. People still live much as they always have, herding livestock, cooking traditional food, and tending bees. Thanks to the wide variety of plants and variations in altitude and climate in the area, the taste of local honey varies widely too -- some types redolent of chocolate, others of clover or sweet cheese.
The Balyolu team plans to lead its first tasting tours of honey-producing villages around Kars this summer. Travelers on the week-long walking trips will stay in yurts, cabins, or village homes; taste different types of honey and other local foods; and explore the area's rich natural and cultural heritage, with opportunities to birdwatch or learn to make traditional village bread.
Help Build The Buzz On Kickstarter
Profits from the tours will be funneled back into the communities that host the trips, used to help local female organic beekeepers boost their businesses with better equipment, training, and marketing skills, and even to start their own entrepreneurial projects.
Bee swarms can be thought of as the original form of crowd-sourcing, so it's fitting Balyolu has turned to the online "crowdfunding" site Kickstarter to drum up its first round of financing. With eight days to go until its Feb. 25 deadline, Balyolu has raised more than half the needed funds. Backers can pledge $2,100 to book a spot on one of the inaugural tours, or donate much smaller amounts for fun "rewards" such as bee-themed recycled-bottlecap earrings. Buzz on over and help push this worthy project over the top.

I do believe that the church should teach its adherents how to debate with those who are atheist or agnostic. That is not to say that I think that the followers of Christ should take every opportunity to fight with people who disagree with their beliefs. But I think that since it is natural that Christians and Non-Christians bump heads on this topic, the church would be better served if the Christians were well informed on the best ways to handle the trickier questions. Christianity is founded in faith. The Christian church defines faith as believing in something you cannot see. When you are dealing with things you cannot physically touch or see, it is difficult to relay your message to the more science-based minds they often encounter amongst the non-believers.
For any organization such as the Christian church, proper talking and debating skills are highly important when talking to others who may have different views that you. You must be able to get you point across with out starting a fight and causing a bad image for your church by others.
People who exhibit what is being described as having this issue are, presumably, people that have severe issues with Christianity. For it to be to the extreme of phobic, it is to the point of being irrational. There is simply no point in trying to debate with people whose issues are irrational. As debates tend to be fairly negative in nature for many people, it may actually only make things worse.
The Christian church needs to focus on fighting its own battles and leave the lay people to do what they want with themselves. There will always be people who are against religion or against the church but it is not a lay persons responsibility to debate these people. Every person should choose for themselves.
There is no such thing as "the Christian church," there are dozens of branches of Christianity each with their own version of doctrine. But all of them know the Golden Rule of treating others as they would like to be treated. Perhaps if the more evangelical branches of Christianity taught that instead of the raging intolerance they love to spread, there would be less "Christophobia" in the world.

Some go by a graduation invitation, others use flowers or the calendar.
Some go by a graduation invitation, others use flowers or the calendar.
For me, sidewalk chalk in the toy aisle marks the defining line.
Once I saw it, I knew we've rounded the bend to summer.
Yes, summer's official start is June 20. The kids aren't even out of school yet. Most communities haven't announced their town common/park concert lineups. And, if you look hard enough, you can find sidewalk chalk in the middle of winter.
But, to me, sidewalk chalk was the sign.
It drew me into daydreams of elaborate basketball courts or simple tic-tac-toe games etched out on the street, only to be washed away by an afternoon rain and redrawn as a montage of doodles the next morning.
The fat pinks and blues and yellows destined to be worn down to nubs make me think of days when nobody had to be at work by sunup, and nobody had a Facebook status to check or a Twitter feed to follow.
They take me back to the summers long gone, but always remembered.
They trigger the hopeful feelings that return every year when I catch a whiff of a neighbor's burgers on the grill or spot someone driving a convertible with its top down.
Summer, the most fleeting and precious of gifts, is about putting the pressing stuff aside for a few hours and just taking a walk.
Or sitting on a porch.
Or reading a "beach'' book in the backyard.
It's the smell of sunscreen and bug repellant and maybe Noxzema or calamine lotion.
It's the taste of peaches and watermelons and corn on the cob.
It's the sound of music coming from someone else's yard, but, hey, it's summer, so just deal with it, even if it's not your type of music.
It's the sound of kids.
And the time of year that brings out the kid in us all.
It's when a wet dog shaking off on you doesn't feel all that bad.
No, we're not quite there yet, but we're so very close.
We're close to roses blooming and tomato plants heavy with way too many red and green orbs for any family to eat.
We're already at the point of not having to find slippers in the morning, going barefoot feels fine, even on a tile floor.
We're already at the point where a lightness has crept in.
There's sun first thing in the morning and sun at suppertime.
Laundry is easier with lighter clothes that don't take up as much space in the wash as sweaters and jeans, and dry faster, too.
Towels and wet bathing suits tossed over a porch railing become a welcome sight.
Maybe we're just a hair more charitable than usual as well since precious days of summer beg to be shared.
We're more likely to stop and talk if a neighbor is outside when we pass by.
We're more likely to invite the kids' friends to stay for dinner. What's one more paper plate and one less hot dog? So what if they stay up a few minutes late?
We're close to the time when a grape Popsicle might hit the spot, even if we long ago outgrew our affection for faux fruity flavors.
And close to the time when, if you have a double ice pop in your hand, you might be tempted to break it in half to share.
That magic slice of time between too cold and oppressively hot somehow makes us a little warmer all around.
Maybe it's just harder to take ourselves too seriously in shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops.
Maybe it's because this slice of time always holds out a ray of hope.
Hope for our beleaguered Sox.
Hope someone will invite us to a beach house for a few days.
Hope this will be the year we get a free game of mini-golf by nailing a hole-in-one on the 18th.
Hope the vegetables will grow in the garden despite the water ban.
Hope that this will be the best summer yet.
Some see it in flowers, others in the last day of school.
For me, it's a package of sidewalk chalk on the shelf, next to a hefty supply of neon pool noodles, that holds the key to unlocking summer this year.

Gold Coast wedding photography – Intercontinental – Luke & Jordann
Your wedding day is truly special, and one of the best days of your life. But like they say 'time flies when you're having fun', so choosing your wedding photographer is very important. The photos capture the special moments of your day and are the memories you will both cherish forever. So for us, finding a good photographer was first on our wedding 'to do' list. We did not have to look far as White Pearl Photography came highly recommended by our wedding venue. After seeing White Pearl's work, without a doubt, we agreed they were going to be our photography company!! On our wedding day working with them was such a privilege. They were so professional and helped the whole day run smoothly without any stress (and no stress is something every bride needs!). They also kept the atmosphere fun and enjoyable for the whole wedding party making the experience one we will always remember! After our wedding day we couldn't wait to see the photos; we were that excited! So when our photographer showed us the images for the first time we were both speechless! They were even better than we'd imagined; they were ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE! They really paid attention to detail and made sure the lighting and the angle of each photo was perfect. We loved every single shot, from the more traditional and elegant to the unique and artistic. Thank you so much White Pearl Photography for all your hard work and for capturing the most magical moments on our wedding day!
I was so thrilled when Luke unexpectedly proposed at 'the happiest place on earth'. Yes Disneyland! Our love for Disney films found us visiting the wonderful park quite a few times, however I was unaware this visit would be one to truly remember. At first I wanted to go on the rides but he was so persistent to get a photo in front of the princess castle that I finally accepted there was no changing his mind (luckily). As we stood in front of the castle ready to take a photo it suddenly became a fairy tale moment when he knelt down on one knee and popped the special question!
Wedding Venue
After looking around at other wedding venues we decided the 'Intercontinental' was a lovely place to have our wedding. Not only did they provide a beautiful chapel but also a wonderful reception venue for the after ceremony celebration. The chapel was truly magical and even with or without flowers it would still be just as stunning. The reception venue was a lovely large room that was beautifully decorated and the food was absolutely delicious!
We chose Robert Simmons to be our wedding celebrant, as he truly understood us both as a couple. When meeting with Robert for the first time we knew he was going to be fantastic! He was so calm and explained everything we needed to know and was always there to help if we had any questions or queries along the way. The rehearsal ceremony went so smoothly and everyone felt relaxed and excited for the real deal two days later. Finally the special day arrived when Luke and I stood face to face in the chapel and Robert helped us to feel calm and enjoy every minute of that very special moment. We were both thrilled to have Robert Simmons conduct our ceremony as he truly made our wedding day the most magical day to remember!
Choosing who will make your wedding cake can be a tough decision but after a little while of searching the Internet we found Tracy from 'Sweet Sister Cakes'. Tracy provided us with many flavours to choose from but luckily we both fell in love with caramel and fruitcake covered with ivory icing. Tracy beautifully made the cake with so much detail from small diamantes to handmade flowers with a slight shade of soft pink. On our wedding day we were both excited and thrilled to see the cake for the first time. We thank Tracy from 'Sweet Sister Cakes' who created the wonderful wedding cake we loved inside and out!
Barry from 'Peppers Entertainment' was our DJ, and he was absolutely amazing! He was so friendly and willing to help us make the reception a celebration one we would always remember! The music was perfect from our entrance at the reception, to dinnertime, and especially when it was time to party! The dance floor was absolutely packed with guests, as the music was truly a hit for all ages! Barry was not only a fabulous DJ he also performed as MC at the wedding reception and helped make our evening a fun and joyous celebration!!

text: The adhesive properties of Fe(110)/Fe(110) and Fe3C(001)/Fe(110) countersurfaces have been investigated by using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The simulation results show that Fe3C/Fe exhibits a relatively lower adhesion compared to the Fe/Fe. Additionally, the temperature dependence of the adhesive properties between 300â700Â K has been examined. The results demonstrate that, with increasing the temperature, the values of the adhesion force and the work of adhesion continuously decrease in the case of Fe3C/Fe; they initially slightly increase up to 500Â K then decrease in the case of Fe/Fe. Furthermore, the effect of lattice coherency between Fe/Fe has been examined and found to slightly reduce the adhesion. These results explain how carbides improve galling resistance of tool steel observed during dry sliding.

Free Grace Alliance Sponsors Panel Discussion on the "Crossless" Gospel
This week (Oct. 15-17) the Free Grace Alliance is conducting their national meeting. Among the various workshops is a special panel discussion to be held this evening. The discussion is being billed as an Academic Forum. Following is the question for discussion "Is explicit belief in Jesus' death and resurrection necessary for salvation?"
For the Grace Evangelical Society's "Crossless" gospel Jeremy Myers and Tim Nichols will take the platform. Tom Stegall and Ken Wilson will represent the Free Grace community position.
I might have suggested the Forum question be postulated this way, "In this dispensation, Is explicit belief in Jesus' death and resurrection necessary for salvation?"
One element that, in my opinion, should be included is the GES view that the Lord's titles, "the Christ" and "Son of God" do mean or infer his Deity.
In the Open Question to Bob Wilkin thread Jeremy Myers stated that neither the titles "the Christ" nor "the Son of God" involve Deity. In fact, he typed Christ's title "son of God" (lowercase). If the title "the Son of God" does not refer to Christ's unique relationship with the Father in which He is equal in Deity, what is the meaning of the term, "the Son of God?"
The "Crossless" advocates go way beyond claiming a lost man does not need to believe in the death and resurrection of Christ for salvation. They teach and allow for a lost man to have any kind of "misconception" about, and/or including a conscious rejection of the Lord's Deity, death and resurrection and still claim he can be born again.
The corruption of the Gospel by Zane Hodges, Bob Wilkin and the GES has done serious damage to the cause of Christ. Many of us are thankful that over the last few months the egregious errors, of Hodges, Wilkin including their abuse of the Lord's titles, have come to light. It appears they will no longer have open and free reign to spread this crossless/deityless teaching, which is antithetical to Scripture.
There several of us who are praying that the errors of "Crossless" gospel and its inherent dangers be made clear tonight. We are praying that men in leadership within the FGA will not simply recognize the dangers of the "Crossless" gospel, but take a proactive stance against it so that others in the FG community are not swept into its errors.
We are praying specifically for Jeremy Myers. It is our hope and prayer that he can be recovered to an orthodox position. At his blog Jeremy posted an article titled, Who Is The Christ? Jeremy stated,
"By way of full disclosure, I do not yet know where this study will lead… Many people today teach that the terms "Christ" and "Son of God" refer to the divinity of Jesus…However, if in my study, I find that this traditional view best fits Scripture, I will believe and teach it to the best of my ability." We are hopeful he is sincere in his claim to be open to what the Scriptures teach.
Twice I have written Jeremy to tell him that I am praying for his recovery to a balanced position on the Gospel and Deity of Christ. I am praying for Jeremy to be sensitive to the ministry of the Holy Spirit, that his heart and conscience will be pricked as he (Myers) hears the Scriptures opened to him this evening.
Pray that the truth of the Gospel be proclaimed and defended this evening. Pray that the Spirit of God reveal truth from the Word of God for the recovery of those who have been lead into error. Pray for others who are teetering on the fence and may be about to fall into the errors of the "Crossless" gospel.
Later this evening I hope to have a report from the FGA conference on the discussion.
In Defense of the Gospel,
Please see the following articles for reaction to the Panel Discussion.

Personal Injury Lawyers for Anaphylactic Accidents
What is Anaphylaxis? What are the Causes and Symptoms?
Anaphylaxis is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction affecting more than one body system such as the heart, circulation, airways, and skin. Symptoms can start within seconds or minutes of exposure to an allergen (food or substance), and usually progress rapidly.
Anaphylaxis can have both food and non-food causes. Foods that are typically responsible for anaphylaxis include peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, shellfish, fish, sesame seeds, and kiwi. Common non-food triggers include wasp or bee stings, natural latex (rubber), and certain drugs such as penicillin.
A severe symptom of anaphylaxis is anaphylactic shock, which is a widespread reaction to an allergen potentially causing a dramatic fall in blood pressure, heart failure, and swelling of the tongue and breathing tubes. This may lead to unconsciousness and potentially even death. Other symptoms of anaphylaxis include:
- Widespread flushing of the skin
- Swelling of the lips
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea with or without vomiting
- Difficulty breathing
- Swelling of the skin anywhere on the body
- Nettle rash (hives or urticarial)
Duty to Accommodate Life-Threatening Allergies
Certain entities, such as restaurants and school boards, have a duty to accommodate life-threatening allergies. A duty to accommodate means there is an obligation to take steps to eliminate risks of harm from a known anaphylactic trigger. Entities that may be held liable for failing to discharge their duty include:
- Restaurant workers and owners
- Hospital staff
- Kitchen staff at care homes, nursing homes, camps, etc.
- Food staff on airlines or cruise ships
- Other food service companies or restaurants
- Food manufacturing companies and packaging companies (improper labelling)
- School boards and educators
If you or your child has suffered an anaphylactic reaction as a result of another party's negligence, your family may be entitled to damages. The personal injury lawyers at Derfel Injury Law have over a decade of experience in the personal injury field, and we can help you understand whether you have a claim against any at-fault party for injuries resulting from an anaphylactic reaction.

These are the best. I love doing family videos. I've heard over and over how the kids will watch these videos every single day. They usually only take about an hour to film and they can be done almost anywhere. $250
"I absolutely love my family videos from Pointe Digital. They did an awesome job capturing our family having fun, and loving life together. My favorite things about my videos are the little details of my kids. I love seeing the adorable waddle of my then 2 year old, and the freckles on my daughters nose when she was 6. Their smiles, bright eyes, and vibrant personalities all come through in a video that a picture just can't capture. Pointe Digital used their talents and skills to film and edit a video that is priceless to me."
Laura Anderson
