They are easy to wear ad with a little more every day use I think they will really work.
Super easy to clean too.
- Pros

I love these Ben Wa balls.
With a little lubrication applied, they are so easy to insert. They feel very weird at first but that soon passes and can actually feel them working.
If you're a beginner lighter balls may be better first as these are a bit heavier than others.
Use them whilst doing your everyday tasks. They are very comfy when you have them in the right position.
Easy clean up too. Pop the balls out and rinse, leave to dry and reassemble. They are the best purchase of balls that I've made yet. Even husband has noticed a difference in how I am now.
- Pros
- Easy to insert and easy clean.
- Cons
- Can feel awkward at times.

Reviewed: 29 June 2016 by sexy j, a Straight Engaged Female
I love these Ben Wa balls.
These are made from super soft silicone. Very smooth and comfortable to use.
I have tried lighter balls before but found they didn't do much so thought I'd give some heavier ones a try and make sure they work. If you are new to Ben Wa balls I would give the lighter ones a go first before trying these as they could be too heavy at first.
You can feel these working on your pelvic floor. Just pop them in. I would recommend some lube for easy insertion. Go about your daily activities and chores and feel them working.
They come in a silver look pouch. This keeps them clean and makes them less conspicuous if left lying around.
- Pros
- Weight, feel, quality.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Feel them working, great quality, give it a go.

As a consumer you are probably aware that you can insure virtually everything you buy. Any electronic device big or small, cell phones, kitchen appliances or even your pet can be insured. While we do spend considerable amounts of money on these items they are essentially worthless when compared to life itself. So, with life insurance resources abound, why are so many people spending hundreds of dollars every year insuring material items yet leaving themselves completely uninsured (or at least under insured) when it comes to their life?
Insuring the Unimportant
Part of this behavior comes down to how we think about life itself. By nature we live in the here and now. Thinking about the future is difficult and it is clearly easier to contemplate short-term issues. So when you go to the store and finally upgrade to that new big-screen TV you've been saving up for we naturally want to protect what we worked hard to obtain. When the salesman explains the 3-year extended warranty for $60 you don't think twice. I mean, who wants to deal with the manufacturer's warranty or possibly end up with a loss when it breaks the day after the warranty is up? These near-term fears will trigger the purchase of this sense of security.
The same goes for even smaller items such as cell phone insurance. Even with a low premium of 4 or 5 dollars a month this can become costly. If you have a spouse or kids with phones it can certainly amount to over $100 annually to protect insignificant depreciating assets. The reasons to insure your phone are simple. These small devices are prone to being dropped, left in a pocket while doing the laundry and being lost or stolen among other things. Given our attachment to these devices we certainly don't want to be inconvenienced by being without our phone so this insurance appears to have a value.
Your Most Important Asset
Ask anyone what their most important asset is and probably 9 times out of 10 the answer will be their home. People think of assets as tangible things, things that cost a significant amount of money and are required to live comfortably. Understandably we have insurance on these things, and it is even required by law in some instances. That being said, the home is a very important asset but it is not the most important in most cases.
When you can't easily put a price tag on something it is difficult to view its true value. Unless you live off of a trust fund or stay at home because your spouse earns all of the income, your life, more specifically your ability to earn an income is your most important asset. It is your income that pays the mortgage, buys food for the table, provides for your children and essentially allows you to exist. What happens when this asset suddenly disappears?
Well if you are single, live alone and have no kids you are in a position there will be little financial impact. But if you are married, own a home, have debt or kids the situation is far less appealing. Imagine for a moment that you and your spouse each earn $40,000 per year, you have a $150,000 mortgage, typical car payments and a few thousand in consumer debt. Now imagine that something tragic happens and you die in an accident. As if losing a loved one wasn't bad enough, can your spouse now keep up with the bills? With half of the income gone can the loved one left continue to pay the mortgage, vehicles and keep food on the table without sacrificing something? If you left nothing behind you put your spouse in a very difficult position. It could result in selling the home, vehicles or even sacrificing quality of life due to your death.
Your Options
Many people will easily spend a few hundred dollars every year buying insurance or extended warranties on the things we buy. As important as it seems at the time, ultimately they are worthless in the grand scheme of things. That isn't to say you shouldn't protect the things you buy, but more important is to understand that insuring these things should not compromise your ability to insure your most important asset.
The cheapest and first place you should look is with your employer. If you have benefits through your employer then you likely receive some basic life and disability insurance automatically. It may not be much, maybe only the equivalent of one year of salary but it is a start. Employers also generally make it possible to purchase additional insurance on this group term policy at a very affordable price. Often you can increase your coverage to 4 times salary for less than $10 per pay period (if paid bi-weekly).
If your employer doesn't offer any of these benefits you can still obtain basic term insurance that is very affordable. I won't use this time to discuss the various calculations you can do to determine how much insurance you need or expand on the different types of policies, this topic is meant to get you in the right frame of mind when it comes to what is important in your life and what you may be overlooking. Nobody likes to think about the unpleasant consequences of death, nor does anyone enjoy spending money on something that has the potential to never be used. But the consequences of being under insured could effectively ruin the lives of your spouse, children or family. So before you worry about protecting that $500 iPhone or new video game console take a moment to think about the things that really matter and make sure you aren't brushing aside what's truly important.
Author: Jeremy Vohwinkle
My name is Jeremy Vohwinkle, and I've spent a number of years working in the finance industry providing financial advice to regular investors and those participating in employer-sponsored retirement plans.
Excellent post with great points.
Your article also provided me with a new insight about insurance. I hope I "never" need to use my life, major medical, disability, car, umbrella, etc. insurance. However, I have the insurance for the unforseen case I need it.
As you point out, it seems folks expect that they will need to pay for lost or damaged phones or electronics repairs, and therfore buy warranty insurance. If it's expected, it shouldn't be insurance it should be "planning" :-)
One caution I would give about life, major medical etc, is to avoid over insuring. For example, single people with no dependents don't need much, if any, life insurance.
Couldn't agree more with what you said in your comment "David, you are correct, when you die, YOUR worries are over. But if you have a family, their worries are just beginning."
There is such a thing as AD&D insurance (Accidental death and dismemberment), usually comes very cheap. Someone on a $20K salary can be insured to something like $200K for like $8 per year...do you think that's one feasible way of doing it?
David, you are correct, when you die, YOUR worries are over. But if you have a family, their worries are just beginning. Funerals aren't free, and if you were bringing in a significant amount of income to the family and it suddenly disappears you put your loved ones between a rock and a hard place.
Like you said, your ability to earn income is the most important asset which is why you need life insurance to replace it. Disability insurance is equally important but I did not include it because almost all employers offer some sort of disability insurance. And since it works differently than life insurance by replacing income as opposed to just a lump sum it can be much easier to cope with than death.
So both are important without a doubt, but a basic group disability policy may already provide for 40-50% of your salary, and then when looking at disability through social security you can wind up in a situation that isn't as devastating and completely losing a source of income.
Glad you brought that up.
If you die, your worries are over. Your most important asset is your ability to earn money.
You need disability insurance more than life insurance, particularly since your chance of being medically unable to work for awhile is greater than your chance of dieing during your working years.
You're right, you shouldn't be without adequate coverage when it comes to having children. As just a young couple without kids you can get buy with minimal coverage that is probably provided by employers, but by bringing a little one into the world you now have a lot of responsibility to go along with it.
And like you mentioned, it really is too cheap not to buy, which was the driving force behind this post. Insuring your life for half a million dollars is probably going to cost less than insuring your car, yet it is the furthest thing from people's mind... until it is too late, then people wish they had taken action before something happened.
We never thought about buying a life insurance before our daughter was born because it seemed unnecessary with both of us healthy. We bought the 30-year $500K term policies last year from MatLife and it was quite affordable (less than $800 per year in total). For people who have young children, I think that money is worth spending.

Indiana Roth IRA
Indiana Roth IRA policies are accounts that you can put money into that will help you save up for your retirement. By getting one of these Roth retirement accounts, you will be making one of the best decisions of your life because you will be making plans for your future, especially if you are young. Many young people think that it is a long time before they ever have to worry about planning for retirement, but the earlier you start this process by getting a Roth IRA the better off you will be when retirement time comes. You might even be able to retire early if you contribute enough into your Indiana account. If you want to stop working at a reasonable age, then you need to look into getting an Indiana Roth IRA as soon as possible.
If you have never had to get this kind of IN account before, then you might not know what you are looking for or where you should be looking for it. Because an Indiana Roth IRA is going to be what will be taking care of you after you have stopped working, you need to make sure that you get the right kind of account from the right place. Luckily there are some steps that you can take to finding the right Roth IRA account for you. Although these steps might seem like they will take too long, you will be glad you do them all because they will lead to getting the Indiana account that is best for you.
Researching Banks
In order to really find the kind of Indiana Roth IRA that you want to put your money into, you need to first know about the banks that are in located near you. The best way to do this is to look in your local phonebook. This way when you start making your list of possible Indiana banks that you will get your account with, you will be able find just the ones that are near you. You will not want to get your Roth IRA with a bank that is far away from you because then it will be difficult for you to put money into the account as well as take money out of it when you want to. Having your Indiana Roth IRA with a local bank is also going to help you build a relationship with the bank because it will be right there.
You should never choose the place that you want to get your Indiana Roth IRA with based on the location of that bank. Therefore, you are going to have to try and find out as much information about the banks that are on your list as you can. The best place to learn information about the different IN banks in your area is to talk with people that you trust to see if they have ever done business with any of these banks. Since you will be placing your money on the Roth IRA that you get, you will want to make sure that you can trust the bank that you go with. The friends and family that you speak with will be able to give you good and bad stories about the Indiana banks on your list so that you can start forming opinions of certain facilities.
Picking Your Policy
At this point in the search for the right Indiana Roth IRA for you, you will want to start calling the banks that are left on your list. You should have taken some off based on bad reviews from your friends so that you are only speaking with the Indiana facilities that were given good reviews. You will want to speak with one of the bank officers to find out about their Roth IRA accounts. The actual rules of the accounts will be the same from bank to bank, but the difference is going to come in what the earning interest rate is for the account. The higher the rate you can get the more money that will accrue in your account. Therefore, you will want to choose the bank that has the highest interest for their Indiana Roth IRA.
Trying to find the right Indiana bank to put your retirement fund into can be a hard and frustrating task. However, with the help of these steps, you can not only end up getting the Indiana Roth IRA that has the best interest rate, but it will also be with a bank that you can trust. This way you will feel better about your IN account because it will be what you want in a place that will take good care of you. You would hate to get your Roth IRA from a place that will make it hard for you to withdraw your money whenever you want.
Did you Know?
The Roth IRA is a retirement account that is funded with post-tax income. You pay taxes on your income this year as you would during any year and invest the funds in the Roth. Since taxes have been paid before investing you never pay income taxes on those funds in the future.

The Afghan National Cricket Team defeated Bangladesh by 25 runs in the T20I match on Sunday night and registered a twelfth consecutive T20I victory.
Batting first, Afghanistan's innings got off to the worst possible start when Rahmanullah was bowled by the first ball of the match, an absolute pearler from Mohammad Saifuddin which swung and nipped away before lifting off the stump and out of the ground, according to ICC report.
Things got even better for the hosts, as Shakib Al Hasan caught Hazratullah Zazai from a top-edged slog.
When first Najeeb Tarakai and then Najibullah Zadran were caught in the deep, Afghanistan found itself 40/4 and in danger of falling well short of a competitive total.
Stalwarts Mohammad Nabi and Asghar Afghan had other ideas though, and they combined for a 79-run partnership in just over 10 overs to set the stage for Nabi's fireworks.
Saifuddin was the man to break the partnership, a cutter leading Afghanistan to sky a catch to long-on, and he quickly claimed his fourth when Gulbadin Naib was bowled without scoring.
But when Soumya Sarkar came on to bowl the 18th, Shakib quickly regretted the bowling change, as Nabi launched two sixes and two fours from the over which went for 22 runs.
Nabi finished the innings with 84* from 54 balls as he led his side to an imposing total of 164/6.
The Bangladesh innings got off to a similarly terrible start as Liton Das offered a tame catch to cover from Mujeeb Ur Rahman's second ball before Mushfiqur Rahim was bowled attempting to scoop Farid Malik. Shakib and then Soumya were also dismissed by Mujeeb, caught at mid-on and lbw respectively, leaving Bangladesh on 32/4 at the end of the fifth over.
Mahmudullah led something of a fight back and was ably supported by Sabbir Rahman, who continued batting after receiving a nasty blow to the chin when trying to scoop Karim Janat. But when Gulbadin had the former caught in the deep for 44.
Mujeeb returned to take the wicket of Sabbir, finishing with 4/15 to better his previous best T20 figures by a run.
The innings faded until the final over when, with 40 runs required from it, Mustafizur provided some entertainment, striking a six and two fours before being caught in the deep to leave Bangladesh 139 all out.
Before this, Afghanistan defeated Zimbabwe by 28 runs at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka on Saturday.
Afghanistan will play its next match against Zimbabwe on Friday which will kick-off at 5pm Kabul time.

Molecular Tools and Infectious Disease Epidemiology
Author: Betsy Foxman
Format: ebook
Pages: 240
Publisher: Academic Press
Release Date: December 28, 2010
The application of modern molecular genetic and biologic techniques to infectious disease epidemiology dramatically improves measurement of disease and putative risk factors increasing our ability to detect and track outbreaks, identify risk factors and detect new infectious agents. However, integration of these techniques into epidemiologic studies also poses new challenges in the design, conduct, and analysis. We examine these opportunities and methodologic challenges giving specific examples. The book will be written for the reader with limited understanding of genetics, biology and epidemiology.
*Presents the key points of consideration when integrating molecular biology and epidemiology
*Discusses how using molecular tools in epidemiologic research affects program design and conduct
*Considers the ethical concerns that arise in molecular epidemiologic studies
*Provides a context for understanding and interpreting scientific literature as a foundation for subsequent practical experience in the laboratory and in the field

Director, IMLS
I've just returned to Washington, D.C. from a great visit to the Los Angeles Public Library. The library, together with the California State Library, hosted a meeting of community members and community leaders who got together to critique the latest version of IMLS's "Framework for Digitally Inclusive Communities." This was the first of three meetings to get a "reality check" on the work we have been doing to help communities make smart decisions so that everyone has the benefits that broadband access can deliver.
To create the "Framework" we have talked with a lot of policy makers – this was our first opportunity to hear from people who probably would not call themselves experts but have important life experiences to share. On Monday night, 40 people gave the framework a road test. Everyone got very engaged in the topic and stayed until 9:00 p.m.!
Community members urged us to take into account a host of considerations like language and age (not just seniors, kids too) that can impact broadband use and adoption.
On Tuesday morning, we met with a small group of community leaders who are deeply engaged in making state and local decisions that impact digital adoption and inclusion. They described current efforts as sporadic and while a great beginning, there is much to do. They urged us to think big and understand that digital inclusion will require the commitment of both the public and private sectors.
Why not involve a host of partners in a national campaign to raise awareness and compel local action? We heard ideas for a scorecard or badges that would brand "digitally-inclusive communities" and provide models for others. One suggestion urged the development of a roadmap so that communities could see where they were on their journey to digital inclusion with phases like Awareness, Access, Adoption, Action, and Achievement.
One of the things that came through loud and clear is that every community is different and I'm really looking forward to the next stops on our three city tour: Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Bangor, Maine . Hearing a variety of perspectives is so important. We learned a lot and I'm so glad we had the opportunity to get real public feedback.
Editor's note: IMLS is working with the University of Washington Information School and the International City/County Management Association to incorporate feedback into the next version of the "Framework." A survey to get broad public input is also planned and will be available on www.imls.gov in the coming months.

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., slammed his colleagues in the Senate, Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., for "parading" as conservatives while opposing legislation that is not "conservative."
"People like McCain and Graham, who parade as conservatives but are not really conservative, they need to be called out because they are bankrupting our country," Paul said Tuesday.
Paul added that Graham was part of the "problem" in Washington, D.C., and has contributed to the national debt because of his willingness to increase military spending.
"Lindsey Graham wouldn't know a conservative if he met one," Paul, who is libertarian, said before wading into the debate on the rising national debt. "He's never been a conservative. He's probably a big part of why we have such a massive debt in this country."

Bishop Santori Anderpopolis announced that the Pope and PETA have come to an understanding regarding Catholics and eating fish on Fridays. Clara Bennett the spokesperson for PETA called this a "great day" for our Catholic members. PETA also hopes to attract more catholics to it cause with this agreement.
In the Agreement PETA will allow it members to eat fish but only on Fridays. This agreement takes effect on Good Friday
According to Ms. Bennett, PETA originally offered to allow catholic members to eat shrimp on Fridays. We don't have any real solid evidence that shellfish have feelings, said Ms. Bennett. 'But, the Pope is a tough negotiator. He pointed out that the bible is very specific about fish and that Jesus was not a shrimper." In the end PETA was left with no choice but to relent to the Pontiff. "The bible is a hard thing to argue with" said Ms. Bennett.
Ms Bennett pointed out that PETA favors Mrs. Paul Breaded Fish Sticks for PETA members. "We are certain that the actual content of fish in these fish sticks are minimal."

I actually did a poem for The Night Before Big Brother during like season 13 or 14, so I won't torture you guys with another one, but the moment we've been waiting all winter for is finally upon us! Big Brother 18 begins tomorrow night, and we get to find out a whole host of things, like:
- What twists are in store for the season
- Will the twists survive longer than 2 weeks
- Who the 4 mystery guests are (and the theme of the season)
- Will Paul shave his beard this summer
- How many smokers this season (this one is always fascinating for some reason)
- Who is addicted to:
- The sun
- Alcohol
- Fitness
- Drama
- Another person in the house
- Themselves
- (note: let's hope it's not all the same person, otherwise it could get very boring when they get booted)
- How long before Tiffany gets revealed as Vanessa's sister
So many questions! I can't wait!
Before I continue, let's talk about live feeds. Make sure to pick them up, especially now, as you get one week free! After that, you will be billed $5.99/month for what is easily the cheapest form of entertainment you'll have all summer – guaranteed. Heck, parking at my local beach can run $20 depending on the day you go. What's $6 for 24/7 coverage of the Big Brother 18 house?
Big Brother: Over the Top Begins Sept 28th
Don't Miss An Update
Follow here for information on that season: Facebook | Twitter | E-Mail | Instagram
Or add me on my personal FB if you'd like
Now, here is what to expect over the next few days:
Big Brother 18 will start with a 2-day premiere. The first time will be Wednesday night at 8pm est, and then on Thursday night at 9pm est. It is quite possible the Thursday night one will be a live show and eviction as the cast has been let in a few days earlier than previous seasons. We will likely watch them enter the house, and do HoH on Wednesday, then PoV/Eviction on Thursday. Just a guess.
The live feeds will then start after the airing of the west coast Thursday night show, which will end at 10pm pst (1am est). That is also the time Big Brother After Dark starts, but you won't need that because you'll be watching the feeds with us, right?
So let's hear your early predictions. What do you think the twists will be this year??

This post is brought to you by Deseret Industries. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Christmas is coming up soon and one of the things my daughter wants is clothes. While I want to get her what she wants, we don't have a huge budget for each kid, so I told her we could go shopping and look around. We went to a couple of stores and we saw the prices and decided that we wanted the money to go further so we headed to Deseret Industries where I knew we could get cute clothes for her for a great price. We spent some time looking at dresses, shirts, sweaters, pants and more, picking out several pieces that she loved and then she had fun trying them all on. She found about 8 pieces of clothing that she really loved and we only spent $30 on all of them! I was blown away. A couple of the shirts even still had tags!
There is so many options at Deseret Industries. It has been a trusted place for us to go for years to get clothes, toys, books, decorations and more for an affordable price. Not only do we enjoy shopping there and taking advantage of the great prices and selection of items, but we also love giving back. We go through our toys, books, housewares, clothes, etc a few times a year and drop off a few boxes or bags full of items so that others can buy them and get use out of them. It is a great way to upcycle and the donations are a tax write-off as well. The best gift of all this Christmas season is helping someone work toward self-reliance.When I shop at Deseret Industries, I feel good about shopping at and donating to DI knowing that I am contributing to job training for others in my community. All store associates are given skills training, career counseling and assistance to move into a permanent career and a life of self-reliance.
Whither are you looking for toys, books, sports equipment or household items, cooking supplies or dishes, clothes, shoes, and nameless other things you will find the best selection of lightly used items for a great price at Desert Industries. Shop there this holiday season and save time and money. They put out new items everyday and there is something for everyone. Learn more at http://deseretindustries.org.

Health Screens
When choosing a health screen you are often faced with a confusing number of options sometimes offering unnecessary investigations. Our health screens performed by doctors, provide genuine assessments of your health and are designed to help detect and identify any potential health issues and address them before they become a problem.
All your medical records and results will be entirely confidential. We recommend a health screen every 2 years for those under 50 and annually for those over 50.
Executive Medical Screen £245
Prevention is far better than cure and our executive screen will identify common medical problems including high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, lung disease, anaemia and infections which could become chronic and life threatening. By recognising and treating diseases early long term complications may be prevented. Your risks will be identified and advice given to avoid future problems.
Premier Medical Screen £445
For a more comprehensive screen we will check for high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, lung disease, anaemia, infections, kidney and liver disease, calcium and Vitamin D deficiency (can present with symptoms of bone and muscle aches and general tiredness), iron levels, prostate cancer for men and thyroid problems which are common in women. Women may also have a cervical smear if needed. An ECG will also be performed to detect any heart abnormalities.
Healthy Heart Screen £745
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the UK with more than a quarter or around 160,000 deaths each year (British Heart Foundation). About 1 in 6 men and 1 in 10 women die from heart problems. Regular check ups is key to identify heart disease and early intervention is proven to lead to better survival.
Our cardiac screen aims to identify heart disease and calculates your risk profile (with the aid of the new PLAC test) with the aim of preventing future serious life threatening conditions.
In addition to blood tests and a heart tracing (ECG) an exercise stress echo test, performed by a consultant cardiologist, will accurately visualise the motion of the heart's walls, valves and pumping action when the heart is stressed by exercise and may reveal a lack of blood flow or valve damage to the heart that isn't always apparent on other heart tests.
Cancer Screen £745
Approximately 330,500 people in the UK get diagnosed with cancer each year (Cancer Research) and more than one in three people will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.
Evidence shows the earlier a cancer is diagnosed the better the chance of survival. There are many screening tests which are now available for early detection of the common cancers and provide an indication to see if further tests should be performed.
Case review
Mr Y a 48 year old director of his own company attended for a health screen. He last checked his cholesterol 3 years ago which was mildly elevated and has been otherwise well apart from getting some difficulty in breathing when running.
Being a father of 3 young children and with a busy work schedule he had little time for exercise and whilst he was careful what he ate at home having to entertain his clients on a regular basis had led to a poor diet. He was a non-smoker and his alcohol intake was above the recommend units per week. His mother had high blood pressure and his father suffered from a heart attack in his late 50s.
His examination revealed he was overweight with a BMI above 32 and his blood pressure was mildly elevated at 159/93. A blood test was performed which showed his cholesterol to be raised at 6.3 mmol/l and his PLAC test put him in the category of high risk.
Taking in to account his lifestyle and findings from the health screen it was felt appropriate to perform an ECG and exercise echocardiogram. This revealed evidence of poor blood flow to the heart and he was immediately referred to a consultant cardiologist at his local private hospital.
Further investigations revealed a blockage in the main artery to his heart and he subsequently underwent angioplasty and stent insertion thus preventing a life threating heart attack. He made a good recovery from the procedure and has consequently made lifestyle changes brining his cholesterol and blood pressure within the normal range.
Evidence shows that screening can prevent serious diseases and early intervention leads to a better long term outcomes.

While writing an introduction for an edition of John Calvin's 1543 Treatise on Relics (Nickell 2009), I became intrigued by a little mystery the Protestant reformer unwittingly left behind.
In his treatise, Calvin (1509—1564) disparaged the proliferating alleged shrouds of Christ, mentioning a few by location, including one at Nice, another at Aix-la-Chapelle, and still another at Besançon (Calvin 1543, 237). Yet he does not (for reasons that will become clear) list that most famous of shrouds, the Shroud of Turin. Nevertheless, he does seem to refer to it when he mentions Jesus' shroud having borne "the full-length likeness of a human body on it" (Calvin 1543, 239). Except for later copies, the Shroud of Turin is apparently unique in bearing the image of a supposed crucifixion victim.1
However, that "shroud" did not have Turin added to its name until the cloth was taken to that city—in a shrewd political move by its then-owner, Duke Emmanuel Philibert of Savory—in 1578, long after Calvin's death. It therefore seemed likely that that cloth was one of the others mentioned by Calvin.
We now know the shroud Calvin referred to as being at Besançon was merely one of the copies of the relic now at Turin (Wilson 1979, 300). The cloth at Aix-la-Chapelle was apparently the same one that was later kept at St. Cornelius Abbey in Compiègne, where it was venerated for nine centuries until (as with the shroud at Besançon) it was destroyed during the French Revolution (Conway 1915; Nickell 1998, 53). Yet another, the Cadouin shroud,2 survived the French Revolution only to be proved in 1935 to be an eleventh-century Moslem cloth (Nickell 1998, 53). A couple of other shrouds referenced by Calvin are quite obscure, which doubtless would not be the case had either borne an image of Jesus' body.
Finally, there was the shroud at Nice. My research revealed that, in fact, the cloth now known as the Shroud of Turin was kept in Nice from 1537 until 1549 (Wilson 1979, 219, 263). This was the very time that Calvin was writing his treatise, published in 1543. Therefore, when he wrote of a shroud at Nice, he was clearly referring to the image-bearing one that is today the subject of such controversy.
If there is any doubt of this, it is dispelled by Calvin himself in his French text (see Higman 1970, 65) where (omitted by his English translator [Krasinski 1870, 237]) he states that the shroud at Nice was "transporté là de Chambery." Indeed, the famous shroud was transported to Nice (via Turin, Milan, and Vercelli) from its home at Chambéry (then-capitol of the duchy of Savoy) for
protection during the war (Wilson 1979, 262—263; Nickell 1998, 26).
That shroud (now the Shroud of Turin) had first appeared in about 1355 at a small church in Lirey, France. According to a bishop's report written in 1389 to the Avignon pope, Clement VII, an artist admitted he had "cunningly painted" the image of the crucified Christ on the cloth. Stylistic and iconographic elements corroborate a medieval artistic origin. So do modern carbon-14 tests, which yielded a date range of circa 1260—1390 ad, consistent with the time of the reported forger's confession. Famed microanalyst Walter C. McCrone had previously determined that the image had been rendered by an artist using red ocher and vermilion tempera paint (Nickell 1998; 2007).
Calvin was not privy to the historical and scientific evidence we now have. Nonetheless, his arguments against the authenticity of the infamous shroud then at Nice are sound. He asks,
How is it possible that those sacred historians, who carefully related all the miracles that took place at Christ's death, should have omitted to mention one so remarkable as the likeness of the body of our Lord remaining on its wrapping sheet? This fact undoubtedly deserved to be recorded. St. John, in his Gospel, relates even how St. Peter, having entered the sepulchre, saw the linen clothes lying on one side, and the napkin that was about his head on the other; but he does not say that there was a miraculous impression of our Lord's figure upon these clothes, and it is not to be imagined that he would have omitted to mention such a work of God if there had been any thing of this kind. (1543, 238)
As to that image, Calvin notes that the appearance on a single cloth of such a "full-length likeness of a human body" gives its own evidence of falsehood. He observes:
Now, St. John's Gospel, chapter nineteen, says that Christ was buried according to the manner of the Jews; and what was their custom? This may be known by their present custom on such occasions, as well as from their books, which describe the ancient ceremony of interment, which was to wrap the body in a sheet, to the shoulders, and to cover the head with a separate cloth. This is precisely how the evangelist described it, saying, that St. Peter saw on one side the clothes with which the body had been wrapped, and on the other the napkin from about his head.
In brief, concludes Calvin, "either St. John is a liar," or anyone who promotes such a shroud is "convicted of falsehood and deceit" (Calvin 1543, 239).
Imaged shroud or not, Calvin has this to say about the various Holy Shrouds:
Now, I ask whether those persons were not bereft of their senses who could take long pilgrimages, at much expense and fatigue, in order to see sheets, of the reality of which there were no reasons to believe, but many to doubt; for whoever admitted the reality of one of these sudaries [shrouds3] shown in so many places, must have considered the rest as wicked impostures set up to deceive the public by the pretence that they were each the real sheet in which Christ's body had been wrapped. But it is not only that the exhibitors of this one and the same relic give each other mutually the lie, they are (what is far more important) positively contradicted by the Gospel. (1543, 237)
His reference to shrouds at "so many places" is not an overstatement, since there were once some forty-three of them in Europe alone, according to Thomas Humber in The Sacred Shroud (1978, 78).
Calvin's criticisms of the Shroud of Turin are still relevant today, as are his views on other Christian relics. For example, he observes that the alleged blood of Jesus "is exhibited in more than a hundred places."
He continues:
Now, I appeal to the judgment of every one whether it is not an evident lie to maintain that the blood of Jesus Christ was found, after a lapse of seven or eight hundred years, to be distributed over the whole world, especially as the ancient church makes no mention of it? (Calvin 1543, 226—227)
In 2006, I visited the Basilica of the Holy Blood in Bruges, Belgium, and held in my hands a reliquary of the venerated substance. Stored in what has been determined to be a medieval Byzantine perfume bottle, it is suspiciously red—unlike genuine old blood, which blackens with age (Nickell 2007, 169).
Calvin also ridiculed the countless fragments and splinters that are alleged to be from Jesus' cross. He suggested that "if we were to collect all these pieces of the true cross exhibited in various parts, they would form a whole ship's cargo" (Calvin 1543, 233). He goes on to criticize the rival Holy Grails, Holy Lances, and other pious frauds (many of which were later destroyed during religious wars and, especially, the French Revolution [Krasinski 1870, 281 f.n.]).
He is particularly incensed about the vials of the Virgin Mary's milk, observing that "there is not perhaps a town, a convent, or nunnery, where it is not shown in large or small quantities. Indeed, had the Virgin been a wet-nurse her whole life, or a dairy, she could not have produced more than is shown as hers in various parts." He concludes, "How they obtained all this milk they do not say, and it is superfluous here to remark that there is no foundation in the Gospels for these foolish and blasphemous extravagances" (1543, 249).
Calvin sums up by asking: "Where may we find one real relic of which we may feel certain that it is such as is represented?" (1543, 280). That is, of course, a rhetorical question. l
- Evidence shows that a possible exception—a cloth at Constantinople predating the Turin Shroud—was a face cloth rather than a shroud (see Nickell 1998, 53—54).
- This shroud was omitted from Calvin's list by the English translator (Krasinski 1854, 237).
- "Sudary"—from the Latin sudarium—was used by Calvin's English translator. But that term refers to a facecloth (the "napkin" in John 20:7), not a "suaire" (Calvin's French) or "shroud."

My heating bills are through the roof high already this winter, let's be honest I am sure yours are too ? Worst thing I know exactly why mine are, wasted gas, because I have to heat my home all day no matter if I am here or not – crazy right ?
But unfortunately when you have a disabled son (with core temp issues), a young baby and a very old house this is a given. I do the obvious things like wrap them up, draft excluders etc but they don't really help. Last time I forgot to leave the heating on when we left the house this was the result, poor Grayson maybe smiling but he was so wrapped up he couldn't move let alone play with a toy and it literally took all evening to get the house back up to temperature.
So imagine my sheer delight when I heard about Hive this past month. Basically Hive Active Heating was designed for families who just don't have time to think about saving money by constantly changing the heating and hot water, well check that is us.
It understands that in an average day parents are lucky to have minutes of spare time, that those timed hot water and heating systems of the past are just not flexible enough for the everyday family, Hive allow you to now control your home from the touch of a button inside the house or whilst out and about through an awesome app.
I can't tell you how many times I have an hour to get the kids ready and then remember the hot water has not been switched on, or during the night I wake up so hot because the heating has been left on high, Hive sorts all these problems for a very reasonable One of Set Up fee of £199.
This may seem a lot of money, but they state within your 1st year alone you should save £150, it basically pays for itself and there are no changes to your current system, they come out in that cost and install it all, no hidden charges.
Not only that in today's society we have to think of our carbon footprints, the energy that shall be saved, all this pleases me very much and to think I can stay later at the Grandparents on a Saturday and not heat my house for the dust bunnies, I just pick up my phone and volia, want to see how watch this handy video, it sold it to me.
As soon as we move house this year, Hive are being booked, I will be able to keep my babies warm and save some pennies to buy them more Lego and Choccies.
Have any of you used Hive Active Heating, have you noticed big savings ?
Want to know more check out Hive's website.

Then there was the time that a ten-year-old says loudly at church, "well that sucked."
I hope the Lord forgives me for repeating that word. I tried to make it clean, Lord!
The bottom line, kids repeat what they see and hear. Hopefully and prayerfully, we can reteach them the right way! But, we need help of the community/church as well. Because these kids aren't with us 24/7.
Numbers 11: 17
I will come down and talk to you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is upon you, and I will put the Spirit upon them also. They will bear the burden of the people along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.
God meant for the community/church to help carry the burden of the lost people.
Remember that you molded me like clay. Will you now turn me to dust again?
Jeremiah 18: 6
O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.
Isaiah 44: 13
The carpenter measures with a line and makes an outline with a marker; he roughs it out with chisels and marks it with compasses. He shapes it in human form, human form in all its glory, that it may dwell in a shrine.

It is dedicated to Saint Nicholas the Miracle-Worker.
The abbey was first mentioned in the city records in 1623, although it is believed that it had existed for more than a century prior to that.
Its name (from the Russian verb «to interrupt») is explained by the fact that the Moskva River has repeatedly changed its flow at this place.
The abbey began to expand in the mid-17th century and grew especially large at the turn of the century, when Patriarch Adrian made the cloister his summer residence and built the so-called Old Katholikon (1696–1700).
In 1775, they opened a theological seminary on the premises of the monastery.
Its main sources of income were Sukharev Tower, Iverskaya Chapel and other sketes, attached to it by the ecclesiastic authorities.
In 1908, the vast New Katholikon was consecrated to the Holy Icon Our Lady of Iberia.
The abbey was closed down in the 1920s.
The Russian Orthodox Church resumed divine service in the Old Katholikon in 1991.

Okay … then why didn't Arlen Specter demand hearings? At the very least, he could have forced more debate by opposing the cloture vote yesterday. Instead, he uses this lame excuse after Bloomberg found an embarrassingly objectionable provision in Porkulus yesterday:
Got that? Specter missed this because of a "rush to judgment," a phrase first made popular by the late Johnnie Cochran in the OJ Simpson murder trial in 1995. It's no less of a bad excuse here, mainly because Specter enabled the "rush" himself. Specter has survived a bout with cancer, which Megyn Kelly notes, and wonders why Specter would support a bill that forces doctors to get federal approval on treatments before discussing them with their patients. The answer? Specter apparently never read the bill before agreeing to cloture.
Here's what Bloomberg found:
One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and "guide" your doctor's decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, "Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis." According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and "learn to operate less like solo practitioners." …
Hospitals and doctors that are not "meaningful users" of the new system will face penalties. "Meaningful user" isn't defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose "more stringent measures of meaningful use over time" (511, 518, 540-541)
What penalties will deter your doctor from going beyond the electronically delivered protocols when your condition is atypical or you need an experimental treatment? The vagueness is intentional. In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body with vast powers to make the "tough" decisions elected politicians won't make.
The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle's book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs. He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept "hopeless diagnoses" and "forgo experimental treatments," and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.
Basically, it tells Specter that he should have accepted death rather than expensive treatment, and that he's a bad American for having survived. His doctors would have faced penalties for attempting to cure him if the FCCCER didn't approve their work.
And Specter voted for it. What a boob!
He's not the only boob who didn't read the bill before voting for an end to debate:
The clueless lead the clueless on Capitol Hill, and it will cost us a trillion dollars to watch the circus.

At this year's International Jewellery London, Charles Green introduced retailers to The French Cut collection.
Designed and created in the Birmingham-based company's factory, the bridal range uses the latest micro setting technology and state of the art machinery to offer an innovative setting which enhances the sparkle of the diamonds.
This technique of setting, which involves hand faceting the sides of the ring under microscope, has been named 'The French Cut' setting, and it's the first time it has been introduced to the UK high street.
The development of The French Cut, which offers engagement rings and wedding bands, took the Charles Green team just over a year to perfect.
Proving that hard work really does pay off, this range has been the company's bestselling new collection of 2017.

Attorney: Guards Should Have Shot Cuban Detainees
The Cuban detainees who were savagely beaten and abused at the Detention Center in Nassau, Bahamas, should have been shot by guards as they tried to escape, says attorney Wayne Munroe.
Munroe, whose friendship and support of criminals knows no bounds, is defending at least one of the abusive guards in court.
The attorney, who makes a living keeping scum on the streets of Nassau, says guards should have opened fire on the escapees, despite the fact that their apprehension could be accomplished without such actions.
Munroe, who likes to bend reality to suit his ill-conceived defence strategies, fails to appreciate that the torture and abuse of the Cubans did not occur when they were trying to escape, but rather, was meted out afterwards, in punishment for the emabarrassment the guards suffered as a result of the escape attempt.
In fact, a few of the escapees were not even identified until guards searched through the male population of the Detention Center, looking for people with cuts on their palms, indicating that they may have handled barbed wire in an escape attempt.
Had the guards followed Munroe's assinine advice, The Bahamas would be in far greater trouble than it already is with the Cuban-American community in Florida. And the international human rights community would never condone such barbarian action.
Under the orders of a senior Defence Force officer, the men accused of the escape attempt were taken into a room and forced to lay on the floor while guards kicked them and beat them with a stick and a PVC pipe.
At no time did any of the Cuban detainees make any attempt to disarm or attack any of the officers.
The Bahamas government is pretending to be investigating the abuse of the Cubans, but in reality they are just waiting for the headlines to die down, so they can sweep this incident under the rug, like so many other terrible situations that never get properly resolved in The Bahamas.
It is doubtful that the Cuban-American community in South Florida will allow that to happen.

The description for xss reads:
Cross-Site Scripting attacks are a type of injection problem, in which malicious scripts are injected into the otherwise benign and trusted web sites. Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks occur when an attacker ...
and that of cross-site reads:
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in Web applications.
Shouldn't the two tags be synonyms? Maybe cross-site can be a synonym for xss.
Currently there are 1834 questions tagged xss and 87 tagged cross-site.
UPDATE: The answer below mentions that cross-site often refers to legitimate cross-site functionality. I'm not quite sure. The questions cited as examples appear to be incorrectly tagged as cross-site. Those seem more appropriate to be tagged cross-domain (aka cross-origin).

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – Receiver Terrell Owens has said he has no intention of retiring and plans to return to the NFL following his recent ACL surgery.
John Madden told the KCBS morning crew that the decision to play again isn't his alone.
"The thing that you have to remember is that the ball really isn't in his court because he doesn't have a contract," Madden said. "He's a free agent. So someone has to sign him, and I'm not sure there are a lot of clubs out there that are looking to sign him."
Owens' agent said T.O., now 37 years old, should be ready to play again by August. But is that wishful thinking?
"Tiger Woods is going through this right now. You can't come back until you're ready, you really can't," Madden said. "You can say I want to be back in four months or five months or six months and then come back and try and tough through it. But after a surgery and a rehab that doesn't work. You can work through certain injuries, but surgeries and rehabs, you have to give them their normal time."

Public opinion research and polling shows consistently that lobo supporters are in the majority in the southwestern United States. By translating the passion that we feel for wolves into action, we can make a real difference in making sure Mexican wolves succeed.
Remember, it is only because so many of us took action in the first place that Mexican wolves were brought back from extinction in the wilds of the Southwest and reintroduced in Arizona and New Mexico.
This page lists many ways for lobo lovers to be effective advocates for recovery. Please share the information here with others who care about the success of Mexican gray wolves!

The people of Venezuela worry about what comes next for the man they call "commander-in-chief".
People in Venezuela continue to wait on news of the president.
Today we went to a Ministry where a Christmas Mass was turned into a collective prayer for the commander-in-chief. There I met Marlene Vanegas who says she won't stop praying until President Hugo Chavez has fully recovered. She dresses all in red, the colour of Chavez's socialist revolution.
She turned to me and said:
Chavez is a man, he is the people, he is hope. We had never had a president like him, that has given himself to his people. I think that he got ill because of that.
On Wednesday, Nicolas Maduro, the vice president, updated the nation on Chavez's condition. We evaluated the process of the operation and we want to tell the Venezuelan people that the surgery was complex, difficult, delicate, which tells us the post-surgery is also going to be complex and tough.
On the streets of Caracas, people watched in anguish as Maduro called on Venezuelans to come together and put political differences aside.
They looked grim, sad, worried.
They are trying to remain optimistic that the man they call commander will return on time for his inauguration, scheduled to take place on January 10. They say that they cannot imagine a future without Chavez
Since Chavez's surgery the government has updated the public on the president's condition, always careful to not give too many details. His health has been managed with extreme secrecy.
The opposition says Caracas is being too vague. Calros Vechio, of the Popular Will Party told me:
I had to ask for information via twitter because nobody is telling us what he has. We still don't know what type of cancer he has, or who his doctors are. We have the right to know what is going on.
Only two months prior people celebrated Chavez's re-election. Now, even with the vice president's reassurances, people in Venezuela are worried about what may come next.

If you have ever had to search for a roommate before, you know it is not easy. You try to stick to friends, friends of friends, or even Facebook contacts. But sometimes, you have to venture into the dark underbelly of the roommate market: Craigslist.
BuzzBuzzHome News dove into the New York Craigslist roommate pool to see what was available. The results were alarming at times, to say the least…
1. With a studio this blurry, you'll never realize that you're SHARING.
Tuesday are pants-optional.
2. Male seeks female roommate, expects "good cooperation."
If you have to die in Queens, at least "the hole apartment" will be very clean.
3. Haunted?
You can tell that this room has seen some pretty bad things go down.
4. Living the dream
You can live here, but you can't live here.
5. This one might not be so bad…
"Who needs wi-fi when you've got us?"
Have a hilarious craigslist roommate ad to share? Connect with us @bbhnyc.

COHEIRS Project - Press Release
The Birgu Local Council organised the second workshop of the COHEIRS project, entitled 'L-Ambjent u s-Saħħa Tiegħek' (The Environment and your Health).
The seminar which was moderated by Ms Moira Azzopardi, Project Coordinator for the Birgu Local Council, was opened by Mr Mark Causon who gave a brief summary of what the COHEIRS project is about, whilst introducing the speakers and the topics that were going to be discussed during this workshop.
Ms Stefania Carletti, project observer, on behalf of Patto Territoriale Oristano did a powerpoint presentation where she introduced the City of Oristano and Patto Territoriale Oristano, the organisation she works for. SIL Patto Territoriale is a local intermediary body and operating as a Local Development Agency, whose institutional aim is the promotion of socio-economical and occupational development in the Province of Oristano. PTO implements all necessary, useful and proper actions to work out development plans in a sustainable, unitary and integrated form, by encouraging private entrepreneurial skills and the required public ventures through the participation of internal/external active stakeholders, taking benefits from financial grants at the regional, national and community level.
Ms Carletti also gave information about the involvement of her organisation within the COHEIRS project, its aims and some information about other projects in which the organisation is involved in. http://www.siloristano.it/
Mr Mark Causon, Director for Genista Research Foundation emphasised the importance of living life in a healthy environment. During his presentation entitled 'L-Ambjent u s-Saħħa Tiegħi' (The Environment and My Health) various risks and violations to the environment and the sea were mentioned, mainly:
• Pollution, oil spillages which greatly endangers our waters and the existence of its living creatures
• Gas emissions in Malta
• Pollution eminating from the heavy traffic in our roads
• Pesticides, insecticides and herbicides which are all toxic refuse
• Irresponsible dumping in the countryside
Mr Causon also mentioned some points about what can be done to help reduce these risks and violations:
• The proper way to get rid of used batteries and expired medicine
• Use of solar panels and solar heaters
• Reducing, Recycling and Reusing
Ms Pauline Camilleri spoke about the major environmental hazards in our islands especially in the Southern Region of which Birgu makes part. However, Ms Camilleri stated that air quality is not the only factor that effect human health.
She mentioned the problem of air pollution and the major air pollutants in Malta, the ozone and its effects on our health and the environment.
Then she also mentioned practical mitigation measures that can be taken to help reduce the hazards to the environment, such as:
• Energy/water conservation
• Use of public transport
• Renewable sources of energy
Profs. Stephen Montefort, Malta's leading asthma specialist, stated that everybody speaks about the importance of having a healthy environment outside, but it seems that everyone forgets that we spend many hours indoors and therefore all care and attention must be given to keep a healthy environment even when inside the home.
He gave some basic information about what is asthma, its symptoms, what can create it and how can one reduce the risks.
Prof. Montefort stated that more than a third of Maltese schoolchildren living in the southern area, in the vicinity of Marsa Power Station have a high incidence of asthma. The international research known as ISAAC (International Study on Asthma and Allergies in Childhood) concluded that Malta has one of the highest asthma prevalence in children in the world.
There are three studies researching on a national basis the effects of air quality in Maltese children. One research specifically targets primary school children. Another research, part financed by the European Union (Respira project) will assess 600 secondary schoolchildren.
Furthermore, research shows that 16% of Maltese teenagers aged between 13 and 14 suffer from asthma symptoms. This makes Malta the third highest country in the European Union when it comes to teenagers suffering from asthma.
He concluded by saying that although asthma cannot be cured, it can be effectively treated. Research shows that with proper treatment, nearly all asthma patients can achieve and maintain good asthma control, enabling them to participate in school, work, and other normal activities and prevent visits to the emergency department and hospital.
Ms Moira Azzopardi, project coordinator for the Birgu Local Council and Mr Mark Causon, presented the conclusions from the workshop seminar where participants where asked to discuss the issue of health vis a vis the enviornment we live in.

Long Beach special education rules and procedures are primarily governed by IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which set up the famous FAPE. FAPE refers to the guarantee for a free, appropriate public education. Because of this act, all special education students can now get the education and the additional services that they need to shine in many areas of their lives. Rather than having to forgo education altogether or be stuck in a classroom with their peers where they are unable to learn well, students can learn in the best environment for their needs and socialize with other students.
Preparing Long Beach Parents for Legal Rules & Procedures
The typical procedure for determining eligibility for special education services includes a full assessment that covers all areas of the child's disability. This could include a look at motor skills, cognitive abilities, language and speech, social status, hearing, vision and more. A multi-faceted team will be in charge of determining eligibility. If the team recommends special education services, the Long Beach school district will have to provide an Individualized Education Plan for the student. This IEP will state goals for the student as well as a variety of ways to measure these specific goals. The IEP must be redone at the beginning of every school year. The state also allows parents to request IEP meetings at any other point in the year that they wish to discuss these goals and measurements.
Of course, there are some times when parents and guardians may disagree with the evaluation. In this case, Long Beach special education rules and procedures give parents several recourses. They may want to start with a meeting with school district personnel, or they may wish to try an independent evaluation that they pay for themselves.

On July 1, the International Criminal Court will begin its activities. Its proclaimed purpose is to prosecute "dictators and war criminals". Though the Bush administration opposes it and Congress has passed a law forbidding people at all levels of government from cooperating with it, U.S. lawyers' associations and human rights groups welcome it.
The current U.S. government opposition to the court can only be looked upon as a conflict over jurisdiction. The U.S. government has made it abundantly clear that it favors global policing and prosecution by carrying out numerous police actions around the world, sending in troops to arrest Noriega in order to prosecute and punish him here, making similar threats against Saddam Hussein and going on an extensive military search to track down Osama bin Laden for prosecution. From this, it is clear that the U.S. simply wants no competition in its current role as world cop, prosecutor, judge and jury. After all, a world criminal court may accidentally prosecute a good dictator or a good war criminal. Or, more significantly, this court may claim jurisdiction over bin Laden – and then where would America's fine civilized tradition of capital punishment come in?
But in my opinion, Bush and his government lackeys are obviously missing the point. Global state institutions are probable among the best defenders of super-state and corporate power. According to one news story, this new court "closes a gap in international law by holding individuals, not nations or armies, responsible for the most horrific crimes. Here the capitalist/state version of "individualism" is upheld. States, corporations, the current social order are not responsible for the atrocities inherent tin their functioning. Rather specific individuals (each more or less responsible for choosing to carry out the role assigned them by the social order) will provide scapegoats. Specific military and political officials (each, indeed, more or less contemptible) who have become a burden to the great powers will take the rap. Thus, once again, the "individualism" proclaimed so loudly by the democratic states acts as a tool for upholding the power of the state and capital, and so for suppressing real individual freedom.
The International Criminal Court, like the United Nations, the World Court and similar bodies, is an international state institution, which, like all state institutions, strives to maintain social peace by any means necessary. It clearly shows that like capital, the state is global, like capital, the state is one.
