THE SAFEST AND MOST NATURAL WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT!Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) is a remarkable dietary supplement derived from sources like safflower and sunflower oil, and found naturally in grass fed meats and dairy as well as the yolk of an egg. CLA works to reduce body fat by preventing fat accumulation in fat cells. Fat normally enters the fat cell through a door that is controlled by an enzyme that acts as the key.
By acting on this enzyme, CLA keeps the door locked. When the door is locked, fat utilization by the cell is limited and any new fat cell growth is restricted. The less fat present in the cells, the smaller and less mature they become. This helps to reduce the level of fat in your body. The increased breakdown of fat helps to fuel and preserve muscle mass, which in turn increases lean muscle mass.
THE SCIENCEStudies show that supplementation with CLA aids in weight management. Scientists now believe that CLA may have a unique effect on body fat: It inhibits the transport mechanism of fat into fat cells, reducing the size of these cells. Some studies have indicated that this may lead to an improved body composition.The most fascinating bioactivity of CLA95� is its effect on the body�s fat to muscle ratio. There is substantial research on CLA showing that it may lead to decreased body fat, while maintaining lean body mass.IMPROVE YOUR BODY FAT TO MUSCLE RATIOThe results of one six-month clinical trial showed that the reduction in fat mass primarily occurs in the places that improve overall body shape and health most � the abdomen and thighs.When it comes to those who wish to improve their body shape and appearance via weight loss, the abdomen and legs are usually a priority target for fat reduction. In the clinical trial, the CLA95� group showed a marked reduction in hip-to-waist ratio, as well as in overall body weight and BMI compared to the placebo group.THE ALLMAX DIFFERENCEALLMAX CLA95 contains a full 95% active CLA isomers; 950 mg of pure CLA per 1000 mg softgel capsule. CLA works to reduce body fat by preventing fat accumulation in fat cells and has been found to promote the body�s natural fat metabolism making it easier to get your body in shape.ALLMAX CLA95 is available in 2 sizes � 90 and 150 softgels.
Serving Size:
What is CLA?CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) is a naturally occurring fatty acid found in red meat and dairy products.. ALLMAX Nutrition CLA95 is derived from pure safflower oil.How do I take CLA95?As a weight loss aid, take 1 capsule of CLA95 three times daily immediately prior to meals. Always make sure to read the complete label before starting any new supplement.Who should use CLA95?CLA95 is suitable for men and women who want to take advantage of the power of a pure 95% potency CLA with a high 1,000 mg dosage per softgel. With other brands that have less CLA per softgel and often lower percentage purity, you need to take more of theirs!What are the side effects associated with CLA?As long as you are taking the recommended dosage of CLA, you shouldn�t experience any side effects. Preliminary research has shown CLA is safe to take and free of any known side effects when consumed according to the label.If I�m taking prescription drugs, can I take CLA95?As long as you are taking the recommended dosage of CLA, you shouldn�t experience any side effects. Preliminary research has shown CLA is safe to take and free of any known side effects when consumed according to the label.Does CLA95 contain any stimulants such as ephedrine?No it does not. CLA95 is derived from naturally occurring fatty acids and doesn�t include stimulants.Can I take CLA95 if I�m pregnant or breastfeeding?No, CLA should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. CLA has been shown to reduce the fat content of breast milk and as a result, reduces the milk fat content much needed by infants. This has resulted in an overall caloric decrease of 65 kilocalories per day, which may be unhealthy for your newborn.I�ve heard that some CLA supplements don�t contain enough of the active form of CLA, how do I know CLA95 works?ALLMAX CLA95 has 950 mg of pure CLA per 1000 mg soft gel capsule, or 95% active CLA Isomers. ALMAX CLA95 provides you with the highest concentration of the purest CLA isomers available. Many other brands have only 70% active CLA isomers and many brands do not provide 1,000mg CLA per softgel. You would need to take more of lower dosage and lower percentage products to get the same active CLA in ALLMAX CLA95.What kind of research has been conducted on CLA?A six-month double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study which was published in the December 2000 issue of the journal Nutrition found that CLA helped reduce body fat and preserve muscle tissue. According to this study, the optimal amount needed for weight loss or body fat reduction should be around 3.4 grams of CLA per day.How long will it take for me to see results with CLA95?You should start to see results within 8 to 12 weeks, as long as you are following the labeled directions correctly. This is the average amount of time it took participants in the clinical studies to see results. But remember, results may vary.Do I need to diet and exercise while taking CLA95?For best results, you should combine ALLMAX CLA95 with a balanced meal plan and regular exercise program. By incorporating CLA95 into your healthy lifestyle, you�ll experience results quicker.How long can I stay on CLA95?Clinical research hasn�t shown any adverse reactions to long-term use of CLA.What is the source of Gelatin in CLA95 Capsules?The source of the Gelatin in our CLA95 capsules is Bovine. No porcine (pork derived) ingredients are used.
Conjugated linoleic acid is a fatty acid and is naturally present in ruminant milk, ruminant meat and in human breast milk.
The type of fat or fatty acid is a determinant of the efficiency of energy storage. Unsaturated fatty acids have in general a lower efficiency of energy storage than saturated fatty acids and result in a lower proportion of body fat. For example, fish oil which contains the very long chain fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and _- and y-linoleic acids have been documented to lower body fat in animals.This lower efficiency of energy storage is mediated by enhanced energy expenditure. The enhanced energy expenditure may be the result of the following events:
Mechanism of ActionSeveral mechanisms of action in CLA have been proposed. The effects of CLA may not be explained by one single mechanism, since the two active isomers of CLA induce different effects. One of the mechanisms proposed to explain the effects of CLA on body composition is via the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR). PPAR is a member of the nuclear receptor super family and is a ligand activated transcription factor that affects gene expression in a tissue, sex and species-specific manner.Specific PPAR responsive elements have been identified in the regulatory regions of genes encoding lipid metabolizing enzymes. PPAR is forming a complex with another nuclear receptor family, the retinoid X receptor (RXR). This complex binds to the peroxisome proliferator response element (PPRE) of a target gene and modifies its expression. Various types of PPAR (_, _1, _2, and _) have been identified in rodents and humans.PPAR_ is highly expressed in the liver and may play a crucial role in regulating lipid metabolism. Since most of the target genes of PPAR are involved in the control of lipid and energy metabolism, and since PPAR is activated by lipids such as fatty acids, it is evident that the family of PPAR plays a crucial role in translating nutritional signals into changes in gene expression. PPAR_ is expressed predominantly in liver, heart, kidney, intestinal mucosa and brown adipose tissue, thus tissues with high catabolic rates for fatty acids and peroxisomal metabolism. PPARy is predominantly expressed in adipose tissue and has been linked to adipocyte differentiation.So far, PPRE has been identified as the promotor of genes of various peroxisomal and mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation enzymes, and it has been demonstrated that the expression of these genes is under the control of PPAR. Polyunsaturated fatty acids activate PPAR more than saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids; fatty acids and eicosanoids are ligands of PPAR to induce its DNA binding and expression of target genes. The role of the transcription factor sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) in lipid and carbohydrate metabolism is demonstrated in several studies. Roche et al showed that the c-9,t-11 CLA isomer inhibit the SREBP expression in the liver.Upon activation by fatty acids and drugs that affect lipid metabolism, PPAR controls the expression of genes implicated in intra and extra cellular lipid metabolism, most notably those involved in peroxisomal _-oxidation. In animals, brown adipose tissue (brown fat) also plays a role in lipid and energy metabolism. This tissue contains, unlike typical (white) adipose tissue, numerous mitochondria with cytochromes that cause its brown color.The mechanism of heat generation in brown fat involves the regulated uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation in their mitochondria. These mitochondria in brown fat contain the uncoupling protein (UCP1) that is absent in the mitochondria of other tissues and which act as a channel to control the permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane to protons.Across the inner mitochondrial membrane, a proton gradient is generated (caused by the energy released by oxidation) and the free energy sequestered by the electrochemical gradient powers the synthesis of ATP. Recently, a homologue of the uncoupling protein UCP1 has been cloned � UCP2 and UCP-3 � which is present in skeletal muscles. Several studies have been done to examine the role of these uncoupling proteins on metabolic rate and obesity in humans. Also the role of exercise on energy metabolism has been linked to UCP3.It has been hypothesized that UCP3 may function as a fatty acid transporter across the inner mitochondrial membrane. It has been shown that tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-_ and UCP2 mRNA levels increased in isolated adipocytes from CLA fed mice compared to control mice. Because it is known that TNF-_ induces apoptosis of adipocytes and upregulates UCP2 mRNA, a marked increase of TNF-_ mRNA with an increase of UCP2 mRNA in adipocytes explains the CLA-induced apoptosis according to Tsuboyama-Kasoka et al. UCP2 is the predominant uncoupling protein in white adipose tissue, and an increase in UCP2 may contribute to increased energy expenditure by CLA feeding.In Vitro EffectsFor investigating the possible effect of an ingredient on fat cells, a cell line of fat cells (for example the 3T3-L1) is used extensively. These cells typically grow in a culture medium and are induced to differentiate by hormonal treatment. Treatment of 3T3-L1 cells with CLA inhibited differentiation of the fat cell in a dose-dependent manner. These findings imply that fat reduction observed in in-vivo studies caused by CLA treatment may be attributed to its inhibition of both cell growth (proliferation) and differentiation of preadipocytes in animals. Park et al. 6 found in cultured 3T3-L1 adipocytes, that the t-10,c-12 CLA isomer is responsible for the observed reduction of the lipoprotein lipase activity and the intracellular triacylglycerol and glycerol, and enhanced glycerol release into the medium. The c-9,t-11 CLA isomer did not affect these biochemical activities. The authors, therefore, suggest that CLA-associated body composition changes result from feeding the t-10,c-12 CLA isomer.Supplemental SolutionsThe typical North American diet does not deliver enough conjugated linoleic acid to get the weight loss benefits. To get the level used in research studies (1,000 mg with meals three times daily) you would have to eat about 5.8 pounds of fresh ground beef, 53 ounces of American cheese or 1.7 gallons of vanilla ice cream! Simply stated, you are not likely to get the amount needed for weight loss from your diet. Fortunately, scientists are able to convert the linoleic acid of pure safflower oil into CLA to make it available as a nutritional supplement.While side-effects or drug interactions with conjugated linoleic acid supplementation are very rare among heatlhy adults, its effects during pregnancy and lactation have not been sufficiently evaluated and it should not be used at these times.BioavailabilityCLA has been identified in human adipose tissue, serum, bile and duodenal juices The primary CLA in human serum lipids is the c-9,t-11 isomer. The fatty acid composition of blood lipids and adipose tissue is markedly influenced by the fatty acid composition of dietary fat. In addition, the time required for changes in dietary fat to be reflected in plasma lipids is not exactly known. Huang et al. showed that short-term (4-week) consumption of a diet supplemented with cheddar cheese (112 g/day, providing about 180 mg CLA) significantly increased plasma CLA concentrations by 19-27%.Research StudyMichael T. Murray is a graduate, faculty member and trustee of Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. He has written over 20 books, including the best-selling Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine.

Original Research Communication:�Conjugated linoleic acid supplementation for 1-y reduces body fat mass in healthy overweight humans.�Researchers: Jean-Michel Gaullier, Johan Halse, Kjetil H�ye, Knut Kristiansen, Hans Fagertun, Hogne Vik and Ola Gudmundse from the Scandinavian Clinical Research AS (JMG, KK, and OG) and the Scandinavian Statistical Services AS (HF), Kjeller, Norway; the Betanien Medical Center, Oslo (JH); the Helsetorget Medical Center, Elverum, Norway (KH); and the Matforsk (Norwegian Food Research Institute), �s, Norway (HV).Background:Short-term trials showed that conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) may reduce body fat mass (BFM) and increase lean body mass (LBM), but the long-term effect of CLA was not examined.Objective:The objective of the study was to ascertain the 1-y effect of CLA on body composition and safety in healthy overweight adults consuming an ad libitum diet.Design:Male and female volunteers (n = 180) with body mass indexes (in kg/m2) of 25�30 were included in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. Subjects were randomly assigned to 3 groups: CLA-free fatty acid (FFA), CLA-triacylglycerol, or placebo (olive oil). Change in BFM, as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, was the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included the effects of CLA on LBM, adverse events and safety variables.Results:Mean (� SD) BFM in the CLA-triacylglycerol and CLA-FFA groups was 8.7 � 9.1% and 6.9 � 9.1%, respectively, lower than that in the placebo group (P < 0.001). Subjects receiving CLA-FFA had 1.8 � 4.3% greater LBM than did subjects receiving placebo (P = 0.002). These changes were not associated with diet or exercise. LDL increased in the CLA-FFA group (P = 0.008), HDL decreased in the CLA-triacylglycerol group (P = 0.003), and lipoprotein(a) increased in both CLA groups (P < 0.001) compared with month 0. Fasting blood glucose concentrations remained unchanged in all 3 groups. Glycated hemoglobin rose in all groups from month 0 concentrations, but there was no significant difference between groups. Adverse events did not differ significantly between groups.Conclusion:Long-term supplementation with CLA-FFA or CLA-triacylglycerol reduces BFM in healthy overweight adults.Source:Gaullier JM, Halse J, Hoye K, Kristiansen K, Fagertun H, Vik H, Gudmundsen O.

Bilingual Blogging on Alapinta Crew in ChilePosted in South America with tags alapinta, aner, chile, Fiam, graffiti, GVZ, maher, rod palmer, street art on May 3, 2010 by mutate
This just in from Rod Palmer in Chile:
Graffiti has not slowed down in Chile following February's earthquake, and the arrival in March of Chile´s first right-of-centre government since Pinochet. If anything it has regained new urgency.
Chilean graffiti writers are ever more recognized in surprisingly official contexts. The local government is backing southern Chile´s finest graffiti crew ALAPINTA´s show at the heart of Temuco, in the plaza. ALAPINTA formed in Temuco as students. They describe themselves as a ´familia de amigos´ (family of friends). The photo on the flier to their Temuco show has one of them painting with a roller: painting with latex, the medium of much South American graffiti, with roots in political protest painting.
ALAPINTA are Aner and Maher of Villarrica, GVZ and Cezo of Temuco, and Fiam of Valdivia. Aner has Mapuche roots. ALAPINTA Crew support the cause of southern Chile´s indigenous Mapuche people. The Santiago-based Mapuche band NüLKüWE (Liberation) gigged at ALAPINTA´s opening in Temuco.
And here it is en espanol!
Graffiti no ha cesado en Chile después del terremoto de febrero, y de la llegada en febrero del primero gobierno de la derecha en Chile desde Pinochet. Al contrario, el graffiti ha conquistado una nueva urgencia.
Escritores chilenos de graffiti están cada vez más reconocidos en contextos sorprendemente oficiales. ALAPINTA es la mejor crew de todo el sur del Chile. Se formaron a Temuco cuando eran estudiantes. Se presentan como una ´familia de amigos´. La foto en la flyer a la expo temucana muestra uno de ellos en polera y con rodillo: pintando con látex, en medio de mucho graffiti sudamericano, y con raíces en la pintura de protesta política.
ALAPINTA son Aner y Maher de Villarrica, GVZ y Cezo de Temuco, y Fiam de Valdivia. Aner tiene raíces Mapuche. ALAPINTA promueve la causa de la gente indígena de Chile sureño. La banda musical Mapuche, NüLKüWE (Liberación), tocó amenizando a ALAPINTA en Temuco.
NEW FEATURE: Street Art in Chile by KelpPosted in Art, South America with tags cekis, chile, feature, graffiti, kelp, mural, mutate, santiago, South America, street art, writer on February 17, 2010 by mutate
Hola UK – I'm KELP from www.kelp.cl = Chile. A graffiti writer and entrepreneur who started graffiti writing in 1997 in Santiago de Chile by watching political murals and also graffiti masters doing their thing in Plaza Italia, downtown of Santiago. From Chiles capital I started to paint all over the country and then outside of Southamerica (Europe, Asia, USA) in which I painted with friends and slowly came to know many great people who were also creating and developing graffiti in many ways.
To get to the point I will write about chilean graffiti in short 150 word notes. Explain, show, describe, analyze everything around graffiti in Chile, directly from the streets with backup from the greatest graffiti writers, literature and live actions. Graffiti in Chile is getting worldwide recognition and you will find why, right here on a monthly basis.

So, Mutate's Captain of British Industry, Gwarm built a box for chew with some other handy heroes. You can see a timeplapse of it's erection here. Now, there have been a few eye tricky perspective painings (or Trompe D'Oeil if you feel like being a length) doing the rounds on the tinterweb of late – so Chu stepped up and smashed the face off these pretenders with this mind warping piece (it's on the inside of the box). If you live in Birmingham, or perhaps are within sensible commuting distance, we recomend an inspection. Joe Rush has also made a new piece as part of this series – more to come on that very soon…

African American Consumer Facts
WROX is an important piece of every adult radio advertising buy!
The number of African-American households earning $75,000 or more has grown by 63.9 percent in the last decade – a rate greater than that of the overall population. This continued growth in affluence, social influence, and household income will continue to impact the community's economic power, especially with women.
The percentage of African-Americans attending college or earning a degree has increased by 44 percent for men and 53 percent for women. Higher educational and professional success, along with a lower birth rate, is increasing both the age and affluence of the population, increasing the demand for aging, healthcare, and financial management services.
African-Americans are heavy users of electronic media, providing marketers many opportunities to access them with advertising and images that are appealing and highlight their services.
African-American women tend to be the primary decision makers for most household buying decisions. Marketers should be utilizing advertising messages and images that appeal to them.
Trends in technology adoption and social networking also provide this group influence over popular culture beyond the limits of ethic categorization.

Downsizing, right-sizing, layoff, restructuring, whatever word you use, accounting departments have been consistently trimming staff for decades. Computers are taking on more and more of the daily routine. While this is good news for cost control and efficiency, it's not so good for accounting controls and segregation of duties. Where you used to be able to separate incompatible functions between different staff, now there may now be only one person available.
The Controls Environment – The Sarbanes-Oxely Act (affectionately known as "SOX") enacted in 2002, was legislation designed to reassure the investing public in the integrity of financial statements after the accounting scandals of Enron, Tyco and WorldCom. It imposes some strict requirements on not just the accuracy of financial statements but also the control systems behind them. Those requirements aren't going away any time soon. In fact, the US Bureau of Labour Statistics has this to say about accounting clerical positions:
"As the number of organizations increases and financial regulations become stricter, there will be greater demand for these workers to maintain books and provide accounting services." (Source: http://www.bls.gov/ooh/office-and-administrative-support/bookkeeping-accounting-and-auditing-clerks.htm)
So, not only are accounting departments being downsized, but they are also expected to meet increasingly strict requirements. What are companies to do?
The answer may surprise you. Most people don't think you can automate accounting controls, but a computer approach called "workflow" can stop employees from shortcutting the internal control system and provide an evidence based audit trail that will stand up to outside scrutiny. And the good thing is that it can be added to an existing system even if that system does not have the feature built in!
The Paper Trail – The basic building block of accounting control is the approved document. Whether it is a supplier invoice, a customer purchase order or a government document, it follows a pre-set trail through the company's approval process, depending on how much it is and what it is for. For example, the purchasing manager may only approve invoices from preauthorized vendors under a certain dollar amount. Anything from a new vendor or above his limit requires further authorization from a more senior corporate officer. Workflow systems work on scanned images of the document and email. The company's rules are loaded into the software, so it can check if the document is from an approved supplier, as well as knowing the authorization of all of the staff. This automation saves a lot of accounting staff time because they don't even see the document until it has been properly approved. No more squinting at illegible scrawls wondering if that's the new division manager's signature or turning the documents back because they aren't approved. The computer takes care of all that.
"He's in Europe" – One of my first jobs in accounting was for a company with a head office in the United Kingdom. The Vice President of Finance would let us know when he was going overseas and there would be a scramble to be sure that he had seen everything that needed to be approved. And when he came back, there would be a stack of papers on his desk for approval. No large transactions could be processed while he was away. Because workflow is based on scanned images, they can be approved via a computer or even a smart phone at any time, anywhere in the world. Now, isn't that nicer than coming home to a stack of papers in your in-box?

In the valley of Tarentaise (Savoie), Tignes is the highest town of Europe, at 2100m high. The galier of the Grande Motte, around the station, offers a spectacular environment and embellishes tourism on every single aspect. The surrounding landscapes made of snow in winter and pinnacles in summer, has a total amount of 300km of tracks. As you walk through them, you'll discover the Espace Killy, a domain made famous by its snowy slopes. The holiday rentals in Tignes are synonym of a successful stay.
The reasons are numerous to consider this destination as the most beautiful ski resort in the world. You need only look around you to realize it. Each year, families and professional come to appreciate the nature's harmony which managed to adapt to the presence of humans. In winter, the snowshoes hikes between the trees are much appreciated. Because of the low temperatures, there are some spas and gyms available to allow the visitors to relax, whatever the weather may be.
The village of Tignes Les Brévières, directly linked to the ski tracks, proposes a lot of activities to the holiday makers. For instance, the ice diving, alpinism, snow rafting and joering ski. Between two ski sessions, and before joining the comfort of your holiday rentals in Tignes, you can make some nice visits.
The station's dam is one of the highest in the world. Another specific heritage of the place: the Espace Patrimoine. This moving place revisits the history of a village which was destroyed by waters in 1952. Photos, models, or movies are exposed and give colour to a small mountain village which has found a way to find its place.

Galatians 5:4 But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons (Gal*4:4-5*NAU).
"I am far from thinking that the mount Sinai dispensation was a covenant of works to Israel, as if the design and intention of God therein had been to afford eternal life to Israel upon their own doing; but yet it is called the law, Rom. 10:5; Gal. 3:10, 13, 17, even in way of opposition to the promise, verse 12, yea, verse 8, God preached before the gospel to Abraham. Here the covenant with Abraham is expressly called gospel, and that in constradistinction from the very Sinai dispensation, which is called the law; undeniably he speaks of the law, not as given to Adam before the fall, (for then man himself must have been the door for life, and not another for him), but as given at mount Sinai, four hundred and thirty years after that promise to faithful Abraham, verse 17. So that the covenant of grace is rightly distinguished by legal and evangelical, for the Holy Spirit here gives us both parts of the distinction, speaking expressly of that at mount Sinai as one member of it; yea, he makes these so opposite, as he says, verse 12, and the law is not of faith, and so is not the covenant of grace; but yet the Sinai law appertains and refers to it, viz. as holding forth the condition thereof to be fulfilled by Jesus Christ." The Mosaic covenant "[i]n general, …was a covenant of works, as to be fulfilled by Jesus Christ, but not so to Israel." ~ Samuel Petto.
I am going to deal with the scriptures mentioned above in more depth soon (but don't have it done yet). I believe I have been helped in understanding the Law / Gospel situation mentioned in Galatians by comparing the Roman's 10:5 and Leviticus 18:5 passages to the Galatian controversy in light of Patrick Ramsey's short exegesis of the passages.
I believe Samuel Petto and many get this passage all mixed up and out of context when they start thinking the Mosaic Law and Gospel oppose each other. It is an old problem that dates back to even the divines and before. In context Paul is addressing how the Israelite's turned the law into something it wasn't intended on being. As I have noted in a few places, "we can turn the New Covenant into a Covenant of Works if we wanted to even when that is the farthest thing from God's mind." In the letter to the Galatian Church I believe St. Paul is addressing two issues concerning the Mosaic Covenant and in the broader context he reveals that the Law's intent was to expose the Gospel. Even Jesus and the author of Hebrews state that the Gospel was preached by Moses and in the Mosaic Covenant.
(Luk 24:27) And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
(Joh 5:46) For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
(Joh 5:47) But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
(Heb 4:2)
For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it.
(Heb 4:3)
For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.
Yes, the Law used as a legal means to obtain a right to something can be considered here. That is precisely the problem that St. Paul is confronting. When the Law is used outside of faith it becomes a task master. But the Law in context with this passage was to be more than something that can dissannul. The following passages reveal this. It is a schoolmaster that was to take the Israelite's somewhere. God gave them circumcision as a sign of His Covenant of Grace toward them. They turned it into an instrument by which something was appropriated instead of a sign and seal of the promises annexed to it. They turned obedience to perform duties into something it wasn't intended to do. Performing duties is good. But the motivation behind those duties can make them null and void. Thus, they did exactly what the law (The Mosaic) in it's function here was not intended to do. They used it in a way that was opposing God's purpose. God's purpose was to make the Mosaic Covenant a schoolmaster that took them to faith by shadows in light of reality. In all reality the Gospel is not opposed to the law nor is the law opposed to the Gospel. How we use the law can be. In fact we are being conformed back into the image that will have us being restored fully into sinless creatures that will reflect the Law perfectly again. The Gospel is bringing us back by faith into being what we are going to be. I agree that the Law cannot dissannul the promises. But there is a reason for that. It wasn't intended to. It was to point to the Promises in Christ. The condemnation that the Covenant revealed was in effect from Adam. Not from the Mosaic. The Mosaic is only something that reveals the Covenant of Works and taught by shadows faith in Christ for the propitiation and expiation of sin.
The Law is not in opposition to the Gospel and the Gospel establishes the law (Galatians 3.:21 and Romans 3:31) . The Law being in opposition to the Gospel is something that is being presented way too much now days. This is bad thinking in my estimation and an over reaction to the opposite end of the problem presented here in the Galatians (and Hebrews) situation which was NeoNomism or Covenantal Nomism. And NO!, I do not hold to those positions. The Galatians were being coaxed to turn to circumcision (which is the context of this letter) for justification before God. Fulfilling the rights of passage were being touted as the way one gained favor with God instead of by faith. As I noted above, "Even we can turn the New Covenant into a Covenant of Works." The Church through the centuries has done this with Baptism also. Same situation, different ordinance. The Law being referenced here is not just the Decalogue but the (over 600) commands of ordinances and regulations that were imposed upon the Israelite's. Circumcision being included in that group and the main contention of this letter.
I disagree with Petto and those of his vein of thought now. The Law was intended to be a schoolmaster and it is not in opposition or against the Gospel. That is what Galatians states. The way the Israelite's were using the Law was in opposition to God's purpose for making that Covenant with Israel. He never intended for them to seek Justification by the works of any Covenant after Adam fell. (A Side Note) Neither was he intending to make any kind of Covenant of Works with Israel in order for them to remain in the Land either.
Just for some background let me reference a small commentary on the Law as it relates to St. Paul's reference in Romans 10:5 so that we can understand that Leviticus 18:5 is not being used to say man was to perform the Law to acquire any kind of justification before God.
Paul's Use of Lev. 18:5 in Rom. 10:5
Pastor Patrick Ramsey
The following is (I trust) a simple but not simplistic explanation of Paul's use of Leviticus 18:5 in Romans 10:5.
In 9:30-10:5 Paul explained the reason the Jews did not attain righteousness even though they pursued it. They mistakenly pursued it by works (9:32). Hence, they stumbled over the stumbling stone (9:33). They sought to establish their own righteousness (10:3). Ignorant of the right way to righteousness, although they should have known better, they zealously pursued life on the basis of their own obedience to the law.
In Rom. 10:5 Paul describes this wrong way of pursuing life (righteousness) from the OT, namely Leviticus 18:5 (see also Neh. 9:29; Eze. 20:11, 13, 21): "For Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them." Now the fact that Paul appeals to Moses to describe the wrong way, or if you will, the Pharisaical way of pursuing righteousness, is somewhat perplexing. As a result, this verse, along with its counterpart in Gal. 3, is quite controversial among commentators and theologians.
Here is the difficulty from three different perspectives. First, in 9:32, Paul had said that the law itself did not teach that righteousness was based on works or obedience to the law. The Jews pursued the law as if it led to righteousness. The Jews, as the NT says elsewhere, misread the OT. And yet Paul seems to be saying in vs. 5 that the OT did in fact teach and exhort the people to pursue life/righteousness by keeping the law. How then can Paul (or the rest of the NT) condemn the Pharisees for seeking righteousness by works if that is what Moses told them to do?
Second, in vs. 8 Paul will quote Deut. 30 and later on he will cite Isaiah and Joel in direct contrast to Lev. 18:5 to describe the right way to find life and righteousness. So then it would seem that Paul pits Moses against Moses and the OT against the OT.
Third, the context of Lev. 18:5 doesn't seem to support the way Paul uses it in Rom. 10:5. Moses exhorts Israel to keep God's commandments in the context of redemption and covenant. Verses 1-3 highlight the point that Israel already belongs to God as his redeemed people. These verses are very similar to the prologue to the Ten Commandments, which teaches that salvation precedes obedience. God didn't give Israel the law so that they might be saved. He saves them so that they might keep the law. In short, the context of Lev. 18:5 speaks against the idea that it teaches legalism or a work-based righteousness. Yet, that is how Paul is using this verse!
Now some have sought to solve this difficulty by saying that there is no actual contrast between verses 5 and 6. The "but" of vs. 6 should be translated "and." The problem with this, however, is that it doesn't fit the context of Paul's argument. The apostle, beginning in 9:30 is contrasting two ways of seeking righteousness—works and faith—and this contrast clearly continues in vs. 5. This is confirmed by the fact that Paul speaks of works righteousness or righteousness based on law elsewhere (Gal. 3; Phil. 3:9) in a negative way.
So then how are we to understand what Paul is saying in vs. 5 (and in Gal. 3)? Well, Paul is citing Lev. 18:5 according to how it was understood by the Jews of his day; and no doubt how he understood it before his conversion. The Jews of Paul's day saw obedience to the law (which included laws pertaining to the atonement of sins) as the source of life and as the basis of salvation. Keeping the law was the stairway to heaven. The way to have your sins forgiven and to be accepted by God was to observe the law. Lev. 18:5 provided biblical support for this Pharisaical position. And it is not hard to see why they would appeal to this verse since it says that the person who does the commandments shall live by them.
In Rom. 10:6ff Paul refutes this works-based righteousness position including the Jewish appeal to Lev. 18:5. Now he doesn't do it in the way you or I might think of doing it. We might tend to respond to the Pharisee and say: "Look, you have completely misunderstood what Moses is saying in Lev. 18:5. The specific and general context of that verse indicates that your interpretation is incorrect…" Instead, Paul uses a technique that was quite common in his day. He counters their interpretation of Lev. 18:5 by citing another passage: Deut. 30:12-14. In other words, Paul is saying that Deut. 30 demonstrates that the Jewish understanding of Lev. 18:5 is incorrect. We of course sometimes use this type of argument today. For example, some people today appeal to James 2 to prove that we need to obey the law in order to be justified. One way to disprove that interpretation would be to cite Paul in Romans or Galatians. So Paul is not pitting Moses against Moses in vv. 5-6 or saying that Moses taught salvation by works. Rather the apostle is using one Mosaic passage to prove that the legalistic interpretation of another Mosaic passage is wrong.
I don't want to wear you out by my repetition of referring you to the above but it is so pivotal in my estimation. I find repetition boring but needful sometimes. In light of this I want to move forward with a few more thoughts on the book of Galatians. What are the two Covenants mentioned in Galatians 4:24? I use to view them as two covenants that were in the Mosaic Covenant as a Particular (Reformed) Baptist. But what are they really representative of in this text? Wouldn't they be representative of the Old and New Covenant? The Old would be the one where men were bound (over 600 commandments and ordinances) to shadows and things that point to Christ and the forgiveness of sin? The old was a schoolmaster which is hard and the the New was liberating freeing us from the hard schoolmaster?
I believe Calvin has the same understanding as I read his commentary on Galatians 4:24…
"But all this may, at first sight, appear absurd; for there are none of God's children who are not born to freedom, and therefore the comparison does not apply. I answer, what Paul says is true in two respects; for the law formerly brought forth its disciples, (among whom were included the holy prophets, and other believers,) to slavery, though not to permanent slavery, but because God placed them for a time under the law as "a schoolmaster." (Galatians 3:25.) Under the vail of ceremonies, and of the whole economy by which they were governed, their freedom was concealed: to the outward eye nothing but slavery appeared. "Ye have not," says Paul to the Romans, "received the spirit of bondage again to fear." (Romans 8:15.) Those holy fathers, though inwardly they were free in the sight of God, yet in outward appearance differed nothing from slaves, and thus resembled their mother's condition. But the doctrine of the gospel bestows upon its children perfect freedom as soon as they are born, and brings them up in a liberal manner.
…What, then, is the gendering to bondage, which forms the subject of the present dispute? It denotes those who make a wicked abuse of the law, by finding in it nothing but what tends to slavery. Not so the pious fathers, who lived under the Old Testament; for their slavish birth by the law did not hinder them from having Jerusalem for their mother in spirit. But those who adhere to the bare law, and do not acknowledge it to be "a schoolmaster to bring them to Christ," (Galatians 3:24,) but rather make it a hinderance to prevent their coming to him, are the Ishmaelites born to slavery.
…But why does Paul compare the present Jerusalem with Mount Sinai? Though I was once of a different opinion, yet I agree with Chrysostom and Ambrose, who explain it as referring to the earthly Jerusalem, and who interpret the words, which now is, τη νυν ιερουσαλημ , as marking the slavish doctrine and worship into which it had degenerated. It ought to have been a lively image of the new Jerusalem, and a representation of its character. But such as it now is, it is rather related to Mount Sinai. Though the two places may be widely distant from each other, they are perfectly alike in all their most important features. This is a heavy reproach against the Jews, whose real mother was not Sarah but the spurious Jerusalem, twin sister of Hagar; who were therefore slaves born of a slave, though they haughtily boasted that they were the sons of Abraham.
It seems that the situation the Galatians (very similar to the Hebrew Church) were facing was being turned back to the shadows instead of to the real and significant Anti-type. They were being turned to the shadows instead of being turned to the one who came and set us free. They were being turned to a darker Administration of the Covenant of Grace which was idolatrous to turn back to after the actual Person it signified came in His Fullness. They were also seeking to be just before God by their supposedly correct sacramental obligation. This in reality was a distortion and false teaching concerning the purpose of circumcision and in our own day concerning baptism as I have noted before. They were changing the meaning of the sign and seal.
Thus they were falling prey to bad teaching which was bondage to things that were shadows instead of to the substance. For Christ's yoke is easy. The yoke Moses put on them, with all of the laws that pointed to Christ, was very burdensome. Being set free from the shadows by the substance was entering a real rest.
Does that make sense? I always viewed this differently as being two covenants in the Mosaic but I am not sure I was getting that correct. I believe I am seeing this analogy a bit clearer now. Maybe I aint. What thinkest thou?
Here are some highlighted scriptures that I believe become evidence for what I am saying.
(Gal 3:11)But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
(Gal 3:12) And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
(Gal 3:13) Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
(Gal 3:14) That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
(Gal 3:15) Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
(Gal 3:16) Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
(Gal 3:17) And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
(Gal 3:18) For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
(Gal 3:19)Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
(Gal 3:20) Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
(Gal 3:21)Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
(Gal 3:22) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
(Gal 3:23) But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
(Gal 3:24)Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
(Rom 3:27) Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
(Rom 3:28) Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
(Rom 3:29) Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:
(Rom 3:30) Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
(Rom 3:31) Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.
(Gal 4:1) Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
(Gal 4:2) But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.
(Gal 4:3) Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
(Gal 4:4) But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
(Gal 4:5) To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
(Gal 4:6) And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
(Gal 4:7) Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.
(Gal 4:24) Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
(Gal 4:25) For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
(Gal 4:26) But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
(Gal 4:27) For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
(Gal 4:28) Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
(Gal 4:29) But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
(Gal 4:30) Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
(Gal 4:31) So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman, but of the free.
(Gal 5:1) Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
(Gal 5:2) Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.
(Gal 5:3) For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law.
(Gal 5:4) Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
(Gal 5:5) For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
(Gal 5:6)For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
As a side note this also reminds me of the following passage as application.
(Rom 11:15) For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?
(Rom 11:16) For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.
(Rom 11:17) And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree,
(Rom 11:18) Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
(Rom 11:19) Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.
(Rom 11:20) Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:
(Rom 11:21) For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
(Rom 11:22) Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.
(Rom 11:23) And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again.
(Rom 11:24) For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree?
(Rom 11:25) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
(Rom 11:26) And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:
(Rom 11:27) For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins…
(Rom 11:31) Even so have these also now not believed, <strong>that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.
(Rom 11:32) For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
(Rom 11:33) O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
(Rom 11:34) For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
(Rom 11:35) Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
(Rom 11:36) For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
The Mosaic is an administration of the Covenant of grace and not works.
Romans 7:13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

Delicious. Acorn and ITV Studios have released Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection, a 4-disc, 10-episode collection of the 1985-1986 U.K. comedy based on the beloved novels of E.F. Benson. Starring Geraldine McEwan, Prunella Scales, Nigel Hawthorne, Denis Lill, Mary MacLeod, James Greene, Cecily Hobbs, Geoffrey Chater, Marion Mathie, Geraldine Newman, Ken Kitson, and Lucinda Gane, the snotty, arch, and frequently hilarious Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection is perfect light summer viewing for those who prefer their British humor served up with a condescending smile (and fear not if you've haven't read the celebrated novels--I hadn't). It looks like the same minor text extras from the 2002 DVD release are included here, so there's no need to double-dip--nor for the same acceptable fullscreen transfers again utilized in this release.
Wealthy, imperious, delightfully forward, and recently widowed Emmeline "Lucia" Lucas (Geraldine McEwan), of the village of Riseholme in the Cotswolds, is ready for a summer adventure: renting a house in the seaside village of Tilling, from nemesis--and Tilling's society queen--Elizabeth Mapp (Prunella Scales). Coldly peeved at Mapp's usurpation of one of her own quaint play-on-word phrases--"Au reservoir!"--several years ago, Lucia intends on evening the score somehow, so she takes along her fey, foppish friend, Georgie Pillson (Nigel Hawthorne), for the trip. When Mapp proves to be just as unctuously snobby and condescending to Lucia as she was in their previous encounter, the monstrously shallow and vindictive Lucia's course of action is set: she'll rent Mapp's house, "Mallards," and convince Georgie to take a nearby cottage to watch the inevitable fireworks (to the delight of expectant, simpering Georgie), as Lucia takes the reins of Tilling high society. Tilling's "smart set," weary of Mapp's tyranny, immediately cotton to the bold, entertaining Lucia: always tipsy former Army Major Benji Flint (Denis Lill), blowsy Godiva "Diva" Plaistow (Mary MacLeod), multi-accented (depending on where his last holiday was) Reverend Kenneth Bartlett (James Green), decidedly unorthodox painter and "free spirit," "Quaint" Irene Coles (Cecily Hobbs), and town "royalty" Mr. Algernon Wyse and his MBE wife, Susan (Geoffrey Chater and Marion Mathie). The obsequiously poisonous Mapp isn't giving up her exalted position in society without a fight, however, and soon she and Lucia are engaged in mortal combat of one-upmanship.
I'm fairly sure that I read the first book in the often-called Mapp and Lucia series from English author E.F. Benson, but seeing as how that was decades ago, and that this television series from 1985 begins with the fourth of the six novels (where Mapp and Lucia first share their comic adventures together), Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection was entirely new to me. And as such, I can't attest to the fidelity of it to the original novels--a point of contention, it seems, with the small but absolutely ferocious fan base that Benson's novels continue to engender (so in that spirit of disclosure, please don't email this enthusiastic-but-unschooled Benson novice if I get something small wrong...). What I can state is that, despite some lumpy script construction over the course of these ten episodes (originally broadcast in the U.K. back in 1985-1986 as two 5-part "series"), Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection, for the most part, is a spirited delight: a snide, sly British comedy of manners predicated on the deeply mean-spirited pride one takes in besting someone one thinks socially inferior...as only the English can do.
This kind of class-conscious verbal sniping seems to be an acquired taste, one I've always appreciated (a brief glance at some newer reviews of Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection indicates a dangerous strain of humorless, faux-proletarian reviewers decidedly non-plussed by the well-spoken, well-heeled snots found here). Simply put: I like a vicious, condescending bully who graciously smiles through their put-downs, and with Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection, you'll get a Master's class in sarcastic slurs. Of course this stuff is "mean-spirited" (today's original sin for the dour, dire P.C. brigade)...that's why it's so much fun. Frequently in the episodes we cut back briefly to Mapp's and Lucia's servants, and their pragmatic awareness of their employers' fanciful follies and depreciatory backbiting, as if we're supposed to identify with those dull schmoes' weary condemnation. But importantly: the servants are all the more boring for their practicality (I'll take a self-important, supercilious, flamboyant villain any day over a lumpish, working class "regular Joe"). The viewer (should) love Mapp and Lucia's blown-up, vile little squabbles--made gargantuan due to their misdirected zeal and cunning, and made doubly hilarious due to their absolute meaninglessness--because they're both so good at verbal jousting. Lucia and whimsical Georgie are (temporarily) interesting and amusing and charming, with their simultaneously ostentatious and exclusive "high society" Italian phrases, precisely because they're completely inconsequential people (maybe the funniest line in the whole series comes when Lucia, fearful that her professed mastery of Italian will be shown up as phony, angrily states, "It is ridiculous that we have to break ourselves of the habit of doing something we can't do,"). We only root for the equally abhorrent snob Lucia to win over Mapp because Lucia is obviously the more powerful, deadly viper...as well as being the more attractive and chic (shallow considerations, of course...that fit right in). And when she does win...her converts become just as wary and weary of her as they did with Mapp. It's important to remember that haughty Lucia's final triumph over plodding Mapp, after months of involved, painful warfare that include her actually pulling up stakes and moving to her enemy's village, was all instigated by the cosmically overblown snit of Lucia remembering that Mapp had stolen one of her precious little play-on-words, for god's sake ("Au reservoir!"). That's all it took to set the grinding wheels of retribution and revenge in motion (and for Benson to skewer...and perhaps celebrate?...such foibles of the British upper middle class).
Scripted by Gerald Savory, Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection does suffer from an occasionally pell-mell, even sloppy construction, with some sequences failing to pay-off (the rushed seance for a budgie, the bicycle scene, and the crucial flooding of Lucia's home--poorly staged and far too thin), and some surprisingly crude and abrupt transitions between episodes. Certainly the second "series" isn't as successful as the first, if for no other reason than the central comedic dynamic--Lucia's and Mapp's feud--is diffused by sideline concerns (the final episode barely has Mapp's participation at all). Still, more scenes work than not, giving Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection a rather interesting low-key madcap feel (if such a thing is possible), as verbal sparring gives way to dead birds falling into raspberry souffles and historical tableaus that are the essence of the briefest incompetence (Georgie's Beau Brummell preens for one second before a wasp drives him off, before the nervous Major gets polite applause for his King keeling over dead drunk). Director Donald McWhinnie may not exactly be the most ambitious helmer when it comes to exploiting the possibilities of blocking or camera set-ups--all in all, he's pretty flat here--but at least he doesn't get in the way of the performances.
The seasoned cast adds enormously to the fun, particularly the well-chosen supporting players (Lill finds a hundred different ways to get a laugh sneaking a drink behind his wife's back, but Hobbs is a trial, flattening what should have been a cinch comedic character: the broad, Bolshie, avant-garde lesbian "Quaint Irene"). Scales, certainly best known over here in the States for Fawlty Towers, is horrifically obsequious and slimy as the jealous, wheedling cow Mapp, who simply can not bear to see murderous swan Lucia float in and effortlessly usurp her once unchallenged societal position (it's the least likable role here, and she's perfect in it). Hawthorne, of Yes, Prime Minister and The Madness of King George fame, gives one of the funniest turns I've seen in quite some time as the sweet, twittering, whining clothes horse Georgie, paralytically horrified at the thought that Lucia (or anyone, man or woman), might touch him. There's a scene here where the blustery Major invites a clearly terrified Georgie to sit down and have a drink, that's one of the most sublime bits of nervous, understated physical comedy (by Hawthorne) that I've seen anywhere. It's a tour de force comedic performance, both hilarious and unexpectedly quite touching, since we never feel Hawthorne is making fun of a character that could have easily slipped into contemptuous parody in the hands of a lesser performer...which I suspect may be the case when The League of Gentlemen's Steve Pemberton takes over the role in his upcoming M & L remake for the BBC. As for McEwan, one may be forgiven at times in thinking she's doing a camp send-up of Maggie Smith (they both played Jean Brodie, after all), such is the sheer over-the-top mugging she brings to scheming, merciless Lucia. It's the broadest of the three lead turns, but that outsized tenor is needed as a central axis for everyone else to satellite around, and for that, she's remarkably sharp and cutting and funny (and sexy, too, with her sculpted, impervious face and those pitilessly bright, cruel eyes lasering in on her latest prey). And yet, she can turn on a dime and show a concerned sweetness for "Georgino mio" (and vice versa) that almost makes us believe she might not attack us should we cross paths...although we highly doubt it. When Georgie pricks his finger doing petit-point, eliciting high-pitched squeals and coos from Lucia, as they both simper over this nothing event, the effect is painfully funny: do we laugh at these monstrous buffoons...or laugh with these eccentric, lovely charmers? I can't think of a better way to sum up the delightfully double effect of Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection's comedy.
The Video:
The fullscreen, 1.33:1 transfers for Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection look about as I expected: decent-enough videography source material is presented here in medium-sharp transfers, with okay color and minor video noise.
The Audio:
The Dolby Digital English mono audio track is serviceable, with a decent-enough re-recording level. No subtitles or closed-captions available, however.
The Extras:
A few minor text extras--a bio on Benson, and cast filmographies--smack of early 2000s British TV DVD extras...which is exactly what they are.
Final Thoughts:
Spiteful, hateful fun. If you like your British comedy full of well-spoken malice, then Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection is right up your alley. Despite some problems in the script construction, the dialogue and the performances are first-rate. I'm highly, highly recommending Mapp & Lucia: The Complete Collection.

Paying with your smartphone is OK, but having the option to pay with any device you want — phone, smartwatch, fitness tracker, key fob — all while enjoying the confidence that the transaction is equally secure no matter which method you choose — now that's the consumer way.
Options and convenience are two tried and true methods for winning users in the technology world, and those are exactly what FitPay and NXT-ID aim to offer. The startups joined forces earlier this year — one a contactless payments enabler, the other a security technology company.
Their goal? To build a comprehensive Internet of Things (IoT) platform by partnering with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and financial institutions to bring fast, secure payments to a variety of form factors. The startup team took three major steps toward that goal this month.
First, it was announced that FitPay would power Garmin Pay on Garmin's new smartwatch, which will be available later in October. This is the first commercially live application of the FitPay payment platform.
Second, the team entered into an agreement with Bank of America to collaborate on accelerating adoption of wearable and IoT device payments. Through the agreement, Bank of America customers will gain the ability to use their debit and credit cards with a whole new range of devices and payment technologies that FitPay and NXT-ID will soon be pushing to market.
That means being able to pay securely with their IoT and wearable devices at any NFC-enabled location — that is, a point-of-sale terminal capable of accepting mobile payments such as Apple and Android Pay — as well as interacting with NFC-enabled Bank of America ATMs.
Third, FitPay will be powering payment capabilities for a new platform by FinTech startup Radius. The platform serves Radius' biometric key fob, which stores up to 20 payment cards and loyalty programs. That comes on the heels of a token ring FitPay powered earlier this year.
NXT-ID CEO Gino Pereira said it's an exciting time for the partners. Bank of America was the first bank partnership announced, but he said there are more in the pipeline, and the more FitPay builds up its portfolio of banks, the more OEMs will be interested in leveraging its technology for different form factors going forward.

Little old lady passing by,
Catching everyone's eye,
You have such a charming manner,
Sweet and shy.
Little old bonnet set in place,
And a Smile on your face,
You're a perfect picture in your
Lavender and lace.
Little bit of business here,
Little bit of business there,
Bet that you've been window shopping
All around the square.
Little old lady, time for tea
Here's a kiss, two or three,
You're just like that little old lady,
I hold dear to me.

Testing and Troubleshooting Tips
Electronics troubleshooting combines circuit theory, careful measurement, common sense observation, and a bit of deductive reasoning. Knowledge and experience can certainly help, but it's possible to be an effective troubleshooter with only a basic understanding of circuit behavior as long as you can apply some basic principles in a systematic way. So don't worry if you only have a hazy idea of how the circuit is supposed to behave. Troubleshooting is more about asking the right questions than knowing all the answers. A healthy dose of patience and determination doesn't hurt, either.
Check Your Work AGAIN
We've sold thousands of kits and, while most builders assemble their modules without any problems, we've seen enough come back to know that the overwhelming majority of problems are caused by
- Poor soldering
- Incorrectly installed components
Who would have guessed? We realize it's tempting to blame the strange noises and smoke on a faulty component, defective circuit board, or an old soldering iron, but it's rarely the case that anything other than the assembly work itself is at fault. So at the risk of repeating ourselves, make absolutely sure that you
- Installed all the resistors in the right places
- Installed all the polarized components (diodes, electrolytic capacitors, etc) the right way round
- Have not inadvertently swapped a transistor or IC. You must read the component markings carefully
General Tips
Keep calm. Remember that the circuits are proven to work, and if yours doesn't the problem is probably very simple and should be easy to find.
Don't replace parts at random. Only replace a part unless you have a very good reason to suspect it's faulty, not because you can't think of anything else to try.
Measure first, then hypothesize. The circuit voltages will tell you what's wrong.
Understand your meter! You must know how to measure voltage and resistance! If your meter has a diode test feature, you need to understand how to use it!
Use your senses. If something seems too hot to the touch or smells like it's burning, it usually (but not always) indicates a problem.
Poke around. Test for problematic solder joints and loose connections by prodding components with a non-conductive probe.
First DC, then AC
Before you do anything else, make sure the DC voltages are correct. Even if you've seen the symptoms before, even if you think you know exactly what's wrong, even if you know "it has to be" that suspicious looking transistor, make sure the DC voltages are correct.
Divide and Conquer
Once you've established the power supplies are working and the DC voltages are correct you can start signal tracing.
Using your DMM
As with soldering, there's a lot of good information to be found on the Internet about making electrical measurements. You should already know the difference between voltage, current, and resistance before attempting one of our kits, and it's important you be able to make basic voltage and resistance measurements. Read and understand the instructions that come with your meter, and be sure you know how it displays a short vs. an open circuit, and 1 ohm vs. 1K ohm, for example.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the assembly instructions, voltage measurements are always made with respect to "PGND", short for "power ground" as opposed to "chassis ground" (CGND) or "audio ground" (AGND). That means your black meter probe connects to a convenient PGND location and the red probe connects to the point in the circuit being measured. For example, if the instructions say to measure the voltage at U1, pin 4, place the red probe on the specified pin and the black probe anywhere in the circuit that connects to PGND. Usually, the power supply connector is the best place to find PGND, but it's not the only place.
Resistors need to be measured out of the circuit. Trying to measure resistors in-circuit will give values that are off by a little or a lot depending on what the resistor is connected to.

The Good
This is it, friends! City Fall's final chapter is upon us and thankfully it's a total blast. Tom Waltz, Bobby Curnow and Kevin Eastman pack the script with pretty much everything we'd want to see in these final moments. Raph vs. Leo? Check. Shredder vs. Splinter? Check. Bebop and Rocksteady being stupid yet lovable? Big ol' check for that one. Oh, and the final moments are PURE fan service. Seriously, try not to smile when you reach the end -- I dare you.
It's an action-packed issue but development is by no means cast aside. Sure, this is a book that's loaded with mutants, ninjas and all kinds of chaos, but ultimately, it's really about a family and there's a great amount of heart to be found in the final chapter. The clash between Leo and Raph is immensely satisfying, and in the event you want to complaint about how the fight goes down, Waltz even makes the reasoning behind the fight's outcome crystal clear. It's a great scene and they really did an excellent job hitting us with the bond between these characters.
Mateus Santolouco ends this story on a strong note. Not only is there so much intensity and creativity behind the action scenes, but there's also so much detail and unique work put in the issue to help make each character standout and feel totally animated. Ronda Pattison and Ian Herring's coloring adds so much life to Santolouco's art. It's impressively colored and I couldn't help but stare at a certain panel of Shredder as he's standing on a rooftop. Calling it "vivid" would be an understatement. Overall, there's just a great sense of energy here and the visuals are every bit as cinematic as they should be. It's epic artwork for an epic story.
The Bad
If you've been checking out all of the micro-issues, then you may be a tad letdown with Bebop and Rocksteady's battle. It looks great and is plenty of fun, but compared to their ninja-fest in their micro-series? Come on, there's just no topping that. There's also a moment in the fight where it was unclear what Raph was doing (he leaps forward then he's further back and standing around) -- it's only two panels, but seeing as I'm really focused on brawls and stats, it caught my eye. Lastly, Splinter's performance is pretty disappointing.
It's no secret I think the visuals are astonishing, but the inclusion of stars was somewhat distracting. In some areas there's a surreal amount visible and then there's random gaps. Having a sky full of stars would be gorgeous, but instead this was somewhat jarring when placed next to the detailed characters and wonderful environments.
The Verdict
City Fall comes to a very satisfying conclusion. It's explosive and flooding with ridiculously fun action. Despite it being mostly punches and kicks, Waltz and company still manage to fill the last issue of the storyline with a fantastic amount of heart and development for key characters. As expected, Santolouco's art and the coloring remain stellar and absolutely serves as the modern look for the franchise. Issue #28 doesn't only feel like the end of something big -- it feels like the beginning of something great, too. I really hope they decide to follow-up with certain characters because they've paved quite a few new roads with this one.
IDW's TMNT has been consistently solid but this story really is something extra awesome. If you have any interest at all in the franchise, it's your duty to read this story. I know I'll definitely buy the hardcover once it drops.

Christian Worship Contentment And Resignation.
If solid happiness we prize,
Within our breasts the jewel lies;
Nor need we roam abroad:
The world has little to bestow;
From pious hearts our joys must flow,
Hearts that delight in God.
To be resigned, when ills betide,
Patient, when favors are denied,
And pleased with favors given;
This is the wise, the virtuous part;
This is that incense of the heart,
Whose fragrance reaches heaven.
Thus through life's changing scenes we'll go,
Its checkered paths of joy and woe,
With holy care we'll tread:
Quit its vain scenes without a tear,
Without a trouble or a fear,
And mingle with the dead.
