Last week marked the fourth anniversary of a deadly natural disaster.
Just after Christmas Day 2004 an Indian Ocean tsunami hit land in Southeast Asia, ravaging the coastal areas of Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, and Indonesia (in particular) and killing nearly a quarter of a million people.
The tsunami was a prime—and poignant—reminder of the consequences of Adam and Eve's sin, as Ken Ham wrote in "Lost" without Genesis.
Among the "victims" of the tsunami were the coral reefs in southeast Asia, whose devastation in turn hurt tourism and fishing in the region. But the Associated Press reports that the "tsunami-ravaged coral reefs have bounced back with surprising speed."
Surveys of the reefs were conducted by scientists from the Wildlife Conservation Society in conjunction with the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies. "This is a great story of ecosystem resilience and recovery," said Stuart Campbell, coordinator of the society's Indonesia Marine Program.
Reef expert Ove Hoegh-Guldberg of the University of Queensland (who did not take part in the study) added, "Left alone, these things can quickly grow back into what looks like a coral reef in a short time. We are seeing similar things around the southern Great Barrier Reef where reefs that experience major catastrophe can bounce back quite quickly." If the global Flood had destroyed coral reefs, they would have had several hundred years to recover before humanity expanded to the ocean again.
Since coral reef growth is occasionally used to calculate supposed old ages for the earth, it would be interesting to obtain actual data on these reefs' recent growth and compare to growth rates used by old-earthers for some of their calculations.
Sadly, in addition to the positive ecological news, the AP report included comments from a number of individuals who lost family members to the "death wave." For them, four years ago no doubt seems like yesterday. Their sadness—or even anger—is a reminder that as Christians, we must have an answer for why God can allow bad things to happen, including the catastrophic loss of life in the 2004 tsunami. We find that answer in Genesis.
Twins of different skin color are now the older siblings of another set of twins of different skin color!
Twins Hayleigh and Lauren Durrant were newsworthy from their birth in 2001: Hayleigh's skin and hair is dark brown like her dad, while Lauren has light skin, blue eyes, and red hair like her mom.
Their parents are described by the Sun as "mixed race," which is misleading: the girls and their parents are all part of the human race, with the most noticeable (but superficial) difference being different amounts of skin pigment. That's why Hayleigh and her dad have darker brown skin, while Lauren and her mom have lighter brown skin. It is a powerful reminder of the Bible's teaching that we are all equally human, descendants of the same ancestors (through Noah), with "race" an artificial human construct.
If that story's not powerful enough, mother Alison has now "repeated the two-tone miracle," the Sun reports. The family's newest additions, twins Leah and Miya, are likewise not the same skin shade. Leah's skin, like Lauren's and their mother's, is light brown, while Miya's, like Hayleigh's and their father's, is dark brown.
Alison reports that "Lauren and Hayleigh think the new arrivals are fantastic," and the Sun story includes several photographs of the now six-member family.
Thankfully, father Dean says that while "some people have looked at us a little bit funny . . . [l]ooking so different has never caused them any problems." Nonetheless, schoolmates of Hayleigh and Lauren have erroneously said, "You can't be twins because you're different colors."
Of course, it's sad that this story has to be any more surprising than twins born with different hair color. In reality, siblings—or a couple—with different skin color is essentially as genetically trivial as siblings or a couple with different hair or eye color. Only about one hundredth of a percent of human biological variation concerns "racial" characteristics—so two people of different races can actually be more similar, genetically, than two people of the same race.
But the schoolmates' comments reveal how society's imposed construct of "race" is distorted—even to the point of not recognizing others as fully human. How tragic the crimes that have been committed in the name of "races"!
We also covered mixed-color twins born in Germany in July 2008, so the situation is not completely uncommon and is likely becoming more common as the stigma against interracial marriage collapses. In fact, in 2006 the Sun tracked down four other such sets of mixed-color twins, and Answers in Genesis has reported on others over the years. Make sure others know how erroneous the idea of "races" really is—and stories like this are a great place to start. Genesis gives us the true background of the human race, and when we hold a biblical worldview, news like this isn't so surprising (nor in any way unsettling).
Is that the sound of a wolf whistle or an orangutan whistle we hear?
An orangutan at the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., has a talent that shouldn't seem surprising for humans: it can whistle, and has been doing so for about two decades.
According to the zoo's Lisa Stevens, curator for great apes and giant pandas, the orangutan, named Bonnie, was not trained to whistle. It presumably picked up the trick from a whistling human, notes animal keeper Erin Stromberg, co-author of a study on the Bonnie's talent. Stevens is steadfast that Bonnie "spontaneously developed" the capability.
Stromberg's study "suggests that the sounds she makes could hold clues about the origins of human language," reports National Geographic News.
But National Geographic News also reports that orangutans are known for imitating humans, humorously noting that Bonnie "sometimes sweeps up after herself," literally aping her zookeepers. And Serge Wich of the Great Ape Trust, the study's lead author, notes that Indonesian orangutans have been seen pretending to wash clothes!
According to Wich, scientists have known that orangutans are also able to imitate "motor skills," but the vocalization is a new discovery. "Those things are very important because they give us clues to understanding the evolution of human speech," he claimed in a lecture at the University of Zurich.
W. Tecumseh Fitch of the University of St. Andrews voices support for Wich's evolutionary perspective. Fitch says the research "provides further verification of an old idea: that apes have complex, voluntary control over the mouth, lips, and tongue, just like us." It's control over the larynx and specifically the vocal cords that's missing.
For evolutionists—who necessarily believe speech evolved, even without finding the missing link of evidence—the whistling orangutan spurs on their belief that, somehow, human ancestors acquired the necessary physical and mental abilities to evolve language. Any objective evaluation, however, would show that a whistling orangutan is akin to a single drop in a bucket of evidence evolutionists would need to prove that language evolved. The evidence is all in the minds of evolutionists.
Not only that, but the University of Wisconsin's Charles Snowdon brings up another point that disputes this "evidence" for the evolution of speech. National Geographic News reports that, according to Snowdon, Bonnie's whistles are less sophisticated that the imitations made by "some birds and even dolphins." He continues:
"There has been lots of controversy over whether non-human primates can learn vocalizations or can modify vocalizations. Until now there has been little evidence of direct imitation of vocalizations by a primate. The really interesting question is why it is so difficult to find good evidence of vocal imitation."
Of course, certain parrot species are known for their accurate impersonations of human language—but we don't hear evolutionists making much noise about that capability. As with animal intelligence, evolutionists seem to point to apes as though they are nearly human when, in fact, there are many examples of animals with incredible abilities—all testaments to God's design.
What was once "the world's oldest spider" is now just a primitive version of the "web-spinning modern spider," BBC News reports.
So what, exactly, is the difference? Spidery remains dubbed Attercopus, first described in 1989, had appeared to belong to a group of extinct spiders, the trigonotarbids, with the exception of appendages that looked like spinnerets. Based on that evidence, the University of Kansas's Paul Selden and colleagues identified Attercopus as the oldest example of a true spider.
Now, the scientists have recovered more fossil material from the site, including Attercopus remains—with a "tail" attached. Upon further examination of the original fossil finds, the team decided what they had thought were spinnerets is actually "rolled-up pieces of cuticle, the animals' external skeletal material."
Without spinnerets, Attercopus would have been able to produce silk but not weave it. Thus, the scientists believe it is part of a recently discovered primitive arachnid genus, Permarachne. "The thing that had been called the oldest known spider we have now shown is in fact more primitive than a true spider," Selden said.
Words like "primitive" are rooted in the evolutionary mantra that what exists now is generally more advanced than what existed long ago, an idea rooted in the presupposition that evolution has allowed for more complex life-forms over long spans of time. The only evidence for this presupposition is evolutionists' own interpretation of the fossil record as an accurate catalog of the history of life on earth.
As for the spiders, Selden explained:
"The puzzle about silk was this: we knew that it wasn't used for making webs initially, for catching insects, because there were no flying insects when the earliest spiders were around. Here we clearly have a spider-like animal that could produce silk but didn't yet have these flexible spinnerets for weaving it into webs; we think that this sort of spider would leave a trail of silk as it moved along, using it to find its way back to its burrow."
For creationists, this find offers a bit of a riddle. On one hand, a spider that produced its silk for non-carnivorous purposes could be a legacy from a pre-Curse design. On the other hand, spinnerets could not have evolved through "upward" genetic mutations, so perhaps this variant of arachnid lost the genetic information for making spinnerets or was part of a now-extinct spider class who did not have spinnerets.
That said, we must caution that any speculation (on our part or on evolutionists') is based on Selden et al.'s interpretation of these arachnid fossils, and fossil interpretation is notoriously subjective, as is revealed by some of Selden's comments:
"They're all microscopic fragments. What you've got is a jigsaw puzzle, with half the pieces and no picture on the box lid. You don't know what it's going to be if you haven't got all the pieces, so having these additional pieces means it changed the idea of what it was."
So while this fossil can spawn thoughtful speculation, we must be careful to remember that using fossils to determine anything about origins—whether within the evolution or the creation framework—is risky and tentative.
From the United Kingdom come the surprising results of a teachers' poll about creation in the classroom.
Nearly a third of teachers (30 percent) surveyed in an Ipsos Mori poll believe creation should be taught as part of science lessons, with 37 percent believing that the subject should be taught "alongside" evolution and the big bang. And while 47 percent don't think creation should be incorporated in science lessons, 65 percent "agree that creationism should be discussed in schools." And if only science educators are included, that number jumps to 73 percent! However, a majority of those science educators (65 percent) do not believe that science class is the place for creation education.
In contrast, only 26 percent agreed that "the only reason to mention creationism in schools is to enable teachers to demonstrate why the idea is scientific nonsense and has no basis in evidence or rational thought."
The poll was conducted on 923 primary and secondary educators in England and Wales. Ipsos Mori head of education research Fiona Johnson notes, "Our findings suggest that many teachers are trying to . . . acknowledge that—regardless of, or even despite, 'the science'—pupils may have a variety of strongly held, and arguably equal value, faith-based beliefs." The Ipsos Mori poll coincides with a recent Teachers TV poll that showed that a third of respondents "believe creationism should be given the same status as evolution in the classroom."
A Press Association article (no longer available online) references the embarrassing (for evolutionists) September kerfuffle when evolutionist Michael Reiss, director of education for Britain's Royal Society, was fired for even mentioning that creation shouldn't be "shot down" in the classroom, even though he steadfastly slammed creation as "unscientific" and in no way endorsed creation to be taught.
For now, despite popular adherence to a variety of pro-creation attitudes (albeit many which still endorse evolution), it seems many of the scientific "elite" are too steadfastly opposed to allowing creation in the classroom—or, in some cases, even discussion of the problems with evolution—for that censorship to be lifted. It mirrors the situation stateside, where—despite the media spin in America—it is actually a well-organized pro-evolution minority that continues to push for blind evolutionary indoctrination for students, even if it means critical thinking is thrown out the window.
One thing for certain, though, is that Christian parents—as always—are primarily responsible for teaching their children the truth about origins (with the support of church pastors and teachers, of course).
In east China is the "largest ever" natural collection of dinosaur remains—on the order of thousands of bones.
Since they began digging in March, paleontologists have unearthed nearly 8,000 dinosaur bones in a collection of areas around the city of Zhucheng. In one dense segment alone, measuring 300 m (985 ft) by 10 m (33 ft), scientists dug up more than 3,000 bones.
"This group of fossilized dinosaurs is currently the largest ever discovered in the world . . . in terms of area," said the Chinese Academy of Science's Zhao Xijin, a paleontologist. According to Zhao, the mass grave could provide "clues" to how dinosaurs became extinct. Chinese news agency Xinhua reports that the entire area has yielded some 50 metric tons (55 tons) of dinosaur fossils since the 1960s.
Perhaps the Zhucheng area holds more fascinating dinosaur fossils—and perhaps paleontologists will speculate on how so many dinosaur fossils ended up in the same location. Could it be the work of catastrophic forces, namely, a very large flood (

Nordic Ware Star of David Bundt® Cake Pan
- Exclusive
- Online Only
- Summary
Serve a wonderfully detailed Star of David cake as an impressive addition to your holiday celebration. Nordic Ware's heavy-duty baking pan turns out a lofty, even-textured cake with crisply defined edges.
- Traditional six-point Star of David shape.
- The Goldtouch ceramic coating reinforces our pans making them more resistant to abrasion than normal nonstick surfaces and releases food with ease.
- Center tube conducts extra heat to the middle of the cake for even baking.
- Nonstick interior for easy release and fast cleanup.
- 10 1/4" x 11 1/2" x 4 1/2" high.
- 10-cup cap.
- Made in the USA by Nordic Ware, a family-owned company famous for its fine bakeware since 1946.
- Use & Care
- Before each use, wash pan with hot, soapy water.
- Oven safe to 450°F.
- Use only wood, silicone, plastic or other nonmetallic utensils to avoid scratching the surface.
- For best results, brush pan with an unsalted solid vegetable shortening and dust with flour. You can also use vegetable oil or a nonstick baking spray. If using a spray, check to make sure that it does not contain lecithin, which can cause a gummy residue. Turn pan upside down and tap to remove excess flour. These steps will help ensure easy release and excellent pattern definition.
- After baking, cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Tap pan firmly a few times, then invert, lift pan away and let the cake continue to cool on rack.
- Hand wash. Dry thoroughly.
- Do not use abrasive cleaners such as metal scouring pads, as they can damage the surface.
- A soft sponge or kitchen brush will remove baked-on food particles. You may need to scrub lightly.

TAD rallies to top Jr. Warriors
By Tim Chambers
It was more like superball at times than it was baseball. T.A. Dugger and Happy Valley bounced back and forth on the scoreboard until the Jr. Cyclones finally emerged as the winner.
A 9-7 win by TAD didn't come easy on Thursday evening at Cannon-Gouge Park.
The Jr. Cyclones 7-1 after the Warriors scored six times in the second inning. TAD's head coach Chris Berry thought his kids showed a lot of heart in coming back and earning the victory.

Daily Joke
Gladys was the preacher's wife and accompanied her husband each Sunday to church. One particular Sunday when the sermon seemed to go on forever, many in the congregation fell asleep.
After the service, to be sociable, she walked up to a very sleepy looking gentleman. In an attempt to revive him from his stupor, she extended her hand in greeting, and said, "Hello, I'm Gladys Dunn."
To which the gentleman replied, "You're not the only one!"
BAD JOKE DISCLAIMER: We recognize that religious humor can be risky. It is our hope that by laughing at ourselves (and others) we can make this subject more approachable. If you find any of these objectionable, we apologize. As with most jokes, the original authors are unknown - but we thank them.

|The C-1A has a service ceiling of only 15,500 feet. It is unsuitable as a HALO platform, but then the max altitude in Arma 2 is about 6,000 feet, so there's that.
On the other hand the C-47 AKA R4D has a service ceiling of 26,000 feet. See above about Arma 2 limitations.
The C-1A can barely take off from Balota, while the C-47 needs half the runway.
I love pretty birds, and both are pretty birds. As a maritime/coastal patrol plane both aircraft can fulfill that role. Both aircraft have very long legs.
The C-1A can carry nine passengers while the C-47 can carry 16.

The great thing about these machines is that they can switch to milling before metal deposition is even complete, so you can literally mill the INSIDE of enclosed metal parts, which makes a lot of parts practical that used to be totally impossible to fabricate

|it's a tripwire force to keep those damn poles from getting uppity.
|20140419 10:36
One from wretchard:
The Washington Post reports that the US has decided to deploy ground forces to Poland, ostensibly to act as a tripwire to deter further Russian threats, raises some interesting issues. The first is why the story was leaked from a Polish source. It is almost as if Warsaw wanted to pre-empt Obama before he could have second thoughts. The second issue is that Poland will be taking the lead under US patronage. Obama, as usual, will be leading from behind. Tripwire strategies have a long history in Democratic administrations. Tripwire strategies are not seriously intended to prevent the enemy from advancing. The purpose of a tripwire deployment is to make it impossible for Washington to retreat; to nail Obama to the ground, to keep him from running away.
The Washington Post story quotes the Poles as confessing that US patronage will be a hollow one unless America re-arms. Poland is saying if the US revives its strategic posture, then Europe can be defended. The converse of that the else is of course obvious to all, though perhaps I should not say all. Obamas not going to get much help from the Western Europeans. Europe can offer treaties, bureaucrats, human rights lawyers, quasi-autonomous non-governmental organisations. But they are less than useful in this situation. The net effect will be to force Obama to do either do what Poland hopes pivot to Europe or clearly abandon it. Pivoting to Europe must leave the Pacific exposed. To cover all bases Obama will have to postpone his plan to fundamentally transform America into a welfare-state and rebuild the military. If theres one thing Obama wont do, it is stop the flow of goodies to his domestic constituencies. That is his power base and Obama may love domestic political power more than he loves Poland.
In the short term however, and before Obama decides if he ever does on rebuilding forces, Putin has many options for mischief. If there was one non-kinetic way of showing resolve against Putin it would be ramping US energy production. If Obama wanted to beggar Putin, he would turn on the faucet. But he wont. You might well ask: how serious is Obama about stopping Putin when he cant even stand up to the Sierra Club? Twitter, always a source amusement these days, had a Tweet going: Headlines. Putin invades Ukraine. Obama responds by invading Nevada. How would you like to be on the tripwire force?

969 Madison Ave, New York, NY | Directions 1002140.774203 -73.963672
Mon-Fri 9am-5pm
Neighborhoods: Upper East Side, Midtown
They Steal Your Prescriptions and Money--No Customer Spared – They will steal your controlled substances by skimming anywhere from a few to as many as half of your pills and then vouching for each other to the point that they will actually call you a liar and a drug addict TO YOUR FACE and IN FRONT OF OTHER CUSTOMERS if you dare show up and ask for proof that they really investigated your missing pills.
These evil pharmacists are the only you'll ever find that are hidden upstairs, never seen by any customers, protecting them from being individually accused of the illegal but profitable practices they are all guilty of engaging in. These pharmacists get paid VERY well by the scumbag owners who save a lot of money when those stolen pills add up. up so they can literally call you a liar and drug addict to your face if you dare show up to ask for an investigation
The rest of the store isn't any less guilty of illegal practices, with sales associates as evil as the pharmacists who browbeat you into overpaying for old and expired health and beauty products that often end up on your credit card but do not make it into your shopping bag. Be careful if you are buying more than one or two things, as I have seen them on multiple occasions sell me products I specifically said I did not want to buy. Sometimes the products you get will even be used. The sales associates don't know a thing about the products they force on you but lie to customers about what miracles the products perform, pushing the ones that either fell off the back of a truck or are part of their Zitomer line, the equivalent of a box of crayons they call makeup and charge Chanel prices for. Between the untrained, devious staff, the old, expired and disgusting products, and the intense pressure to spend or get out, you will leave Zitomer a victim of cons, painted up to look like a homeless clown, and advertising your unfortunate stupidity by carrying one of their tasteless pink shopping bags down Madison Ave.
ADVICE: COUNT YOUR PILLS AT THE REGISTER, under one of the ceiling cameras, and while forcing an employee to watch the entire thing and count along with you.
If you purchase anything from them, look at it BEFORE YOU LEAVE to make sure it isn't used or so old it's broken. Also, make sure everything you paid for is in your bag and that nothing was added to your purchase without your consent. Trust me,, they won't be quick to issue you any refunds if you find something wrong and return to the store to fix it. Don't be surprised if they call you a liar for any claims you make about your retail purchase--the colorful names and requests to leave the store aren't just for the patients whose prescriptions they steal.
They'll never give you a refund or admit they stole your pills or merchandise, so you're better off reporting them to the Better Business Bureau or the police than going back thinking they'll do the right thing. You may not see your missing pills or money, but you can still fight back, no matter what they say, until this kind of disgusting, immoral approach to business finally puts them out of business and saves any new victims from walking in their doors,
CRIMINALS RUN THE PHARMACY – Caveat Emptor! This admittedly beautiful store (great cosmetics, apparel, chilldren shop) has the WORST
PHARMACY in NYC. After "losing" a pain script, which they charged me for, and providing them an opportunity to conduct a search, the arrogant baffoon Manager "Phil" "solved" the problem by calling my doctor with the INTENT OF SECURING PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION to use against me to DISCREDIT MY COMPLAINT. My equally briliant doctor gave the info out over the phone!
The Pharmacists here are CROOKS!!! And they have repeatedly violated NYS medical laws. I believe they are also skimming scripts (pill counts always off)
and engaging in narcotics fraud.
Doctors avoid this Pharmacy until they have new management !!
The ultimate for high-end cosmetics addicts--with a candy department that stocks Godiva, not Mars bars. – The Scene
A three-story drugstore-emporium of "necessities" stocked with so many luxurious goods that it could only exist in New York. On the ground floor you'll find sundries, cosmetics, accessories and video/DVD rentals plus electronics. The second floor boasts an excellent collection of lingerie and children's clothes and the third floor is a mini FAO Schwarz.
The Goods
The best of everything. Cosmetic lines offered include Chanel, Lancome and Clarins. Look for Z New York, Zitomer's house label--the products all have indigenous N.Y. names like Chelsea and Times Square. (Don't miss the Gracie lip gloss--it's some of the best in town). Mason Pearson hairbrushes (of course), a plethora of sparkly hair accessories and wonderful, hard-to-find imported beauty booty like Smith's Rosebud Salve, Violet lip balm from Spain, French toothpaste and Terax Crema conditioner round out the selection.
Good Qulity And Rates Very Good – We bought A Diamond Ring at Zitomer and went to check the quality at our home town Jeweler, Came out very clear white and quality diamond. We got our money's worth in His words.

Queenie (not her real name) is a good old fashioned Diana Dors-style gangster's moll living the life of Riley on ill-gotten gains.
Or at least, that's what the fictionalised world of the old East End of London and the smokey gilded clubs of Mayfair say of the extraordinary 'Lucky Bunny', who only just misses out on severe punishment, and who has a sufficiently shameless attitude to shoplifting at Harrods to see it as a form of Robin Hoodlike social egalitarianism. The big difference about Queenie, though, as we learn through her story, which is based on some real-life events, is that she has a conscience. OK, she couldn't have got her reassuringly safe cottage and child by conventional means, but now that she's got them, she doesn't simply want more and more, she just feels grateful.

Facebook has just released an update to its standalone messaging app, and the changes are significant. The app has been completely redesigned for both iOS and Android platforms and boasts many aesthetic and functionality changes as well.
Aside from the new look, the biggest change is the ability to message people who aren't among your Facebook friends. This is contingent on whether you allow the app to access your phone number and/or contacts list; if you allow it, others will be able to message you directly, regardless of whether they are on your list of friends, and you'll be able to do the same.

When I first got the product, I was skeptical that a hand sanitizer could be "luxury," but I love this stuff! Everyone that puts it on asks what it is. It does not dry out your hands, and it smells wonderful!
Came in handy when I had to come in contact with sick people all day and I had this sample on me. Too pricey for just hand sanitizer I will stick to cheaper brands
I love this little thing. It's so handy. I keep it in my cosmetic case and use it constantly. I absolutely love it.
This product is wonderful as it keep the germs however it does not kill (dry out) my hands totally. I use this product constantly instead of the Purell provided by my office. I would recommend it for anyone needing hand sanitizer however wanting soft hands
This wasn't my favorite. I've definitely used better hand sanitizer. It left a sticky residue and smelled like a hospital. Im sure it is effective but I will definitely pass on this product. I've used other hand sanitizer's that would be a fraction of the cost of this one.
I received a sample of this hand sanitizer in my July box, and wasn't very impressed. It's a thicker gel consistency which I found to be a little sticky. I also didn't care for the scent; smells too much like kitchen cleaner.
I love the smell but it's somewhat overwhelming. Also, the price seems like it may be too much. I was conveniently surprised how much I could use this, however, so I am sure the packing was done well.
I liked the unique shaped bottle this product came in and the scent was refreshing...but the price is too steep for hand sanitizer.
This has a great scent and feels nice on my hands but there is no way i would ever pay $29 for hand sanitizer!
I loved using this product. Cleaned my hands great with an incredible smell. I am looking forward to buying the full size. Would recommend product

The Myth of the Green Cigarette
The FDA warns consumers about e-cigarettes, which are often marketed as "green."
Cigarettes are the most-polluted item in the world, so needless to say, smoking is not very green. Considering that only 10 percent of cigarettes are disposed of properly, any effort to reduce the amount of waste caused by smokers is a good thing, right? That's the thinking behind makers of several brands of e-cigarettes - a trendy new smoking alternative that dispenses nicotine through vapor, rather than smoke, in a reusable, odorless cigarette-like device. E-cigarette users can "smoke" indoors without affecting others. They never need a lighter, and prevent hundreds of butts from being stubbed out on the pavement, since the device uses rechargeable batteries and refillable cartridges.
Totally green smoking is too good to be true. Turns out, the electronic smokes - which are marketed on several websites as healthier than real cigarettes - can be as harmful as traditional kind. According to an FDA press release:
Because these products have not been submitted to the FDA for evaluation or approval, at this time the agency has no way of knowing, except for the limited testing it has performed, the levels of nicotine or the amounts or kinds of other chemicals that the various brands of these products deliver to the user.
The FDA's Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis analyzed the ingredients in a small sample of cartridges from two leading brands of electronic cigarettes. In one sample, the FDA's analyses detected diethylene glycol, a chemical used in antifreeze that is toxic to humans, and in several other samples, the FDA analyses detected carcinogens, including nitrosamines. These tests indicate that these products contained detectable levels of known carcinogens and toxic chemicals to which users could potentially be exposed.
The harmful chemicals aren't the only reason for the warning. "The FDA is concerned about the safety of these products and how they are marketed to the public," said Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., commissioner of food and drugs. The e-cigarettes are sold in malls, and the flavored nicotine may entice kids. They're also touted as "healthy," "green," and "environmental." But with the wallop of chemicals inside and the battery that will find its way to a landfill, environmentally-aware smokers are trading one bad habit for another.
Traditional cigarettes, too, will tout their green credentials. American Spirit brand uses USDA-certified organic tobacco, avoiding the pesticides that other growers use (tobacco farmers use 27 million pounds of pesticides each year). American Spirit is owned by Reynolds American, though, which diminishes its green cred.
So is there an eco-friendly way to smoke? In addition to the litter, Slate's Green Lantern urges you to consider the air pollution:
The global tobacco industry manufactures roughly 5.5 trillion cigarettes annually. Assuming that all those cancer sticks get consumed, smokers around the world spew out about 84,878 tons of fine particulate matter annually, or a little less than half of a year's worth of emissions from American on-road vehicles.
So to answer that question: no. Whether or not the well-being of the planet provides any additional motivation, it's time to quit for the sake of your own health. More on smoking here.

Research to Address Structural Issues
MEC conducts proactive research into the underlying causes of religious persecution across the region. These seek to relieve the pressures that lead to incidents of persecution.
The structural issues covered are:
* Church Registration and Property: including (a) the recognition of a church as a legal entity so that it can own or rent property, employ personnel, open bank accounts, sponsor visas, etc. (b) the building and maintenance of church buildings and other property.
* Education: including (a) whether there is parental choice in the religious education of their children (b) whether Christians can operate Christian schools and if so who has control over curriculum and staff appointments (c) curriculum issues e.g. history pre-the 7th century (d) is there discrimination against Christians in admission to higher education?
* Religious Registration and Legal Documents: the problems caused by the expression of religious registration on legal documents such as identity cards, birth certificates, passports and driving licences and the difficulty of changing the stated religion.
* Relocation: the theological and practical issues surrounding the relocation of Christians seeking to escape religious persecution, including the benefits and drawbacks of relocation within country, within the region, to developing countries and to developed countries. The main objective is to promote the alternatives to relocation to Western nations, thereby reducing the emigration of Christians.
Methodology for Structural Issues
Research usually leads to the writing of documents that:
Country specific reports are written for a selection of countries in MEC's region showing where the practice differs from national law, constitutional rights and the normslaid down in International Law and regional treaties.
Some require additional components, e.g. Church Registration and Property includes a chapter on the different theologies of buildings seen within and amongst Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant Christian traditions.
Research results are discussed with Christian leaders in countries where the subject researched causes significant challenges for Christian communities. Any resulting planned actions usually comprise a combination of actions to be taken by national Christians plus coordinated worldwide prayer and advocacy support. Much of the latter is done discreetly.
Research on Related Topics
MEC undertakes occasional research on other relevant issues. Recent examples include:

Greetings in the name of Jesus, the Good Shepherd
Iranian Church leaders have requested further intercession for Pastor Farshid Fathi, a believer from a Muslim background, who is serving a six-year prison sentence. He was injured on 17th April when revolutionary guards attacked a number of prisoners held in Evin prison, Tehran. Farshid suffered a broken foot and toe after he intervened in the beating of another prisoner and a guard stamped on his foot. He was taken to hospital for treatment on 20th April as a day patient. Approximately 30 fellow prisoners were injured, some more seriously than Farshid. Three other Christians were included on a list of those who had been beaten: namely Ebrahim Firouzi, Rasoul Abdullahi and Alireza Seyyedian. Their injuries are understood to be minor.
Recall that Farshid was arrested on 26th December 2010 along with a number of other Christian leaders. He was taken directly to Evin prison, Tehran, and has remained there ever since. He has been subjected to periods of solitary confinement, intense interrogation and at times he has been denied communication with his family. In March 2012 he was convicted on charges of anti-state political activity, charges that were derived from his leadership of a network of house fellowships. In June 2013 his appeal was rejected and the six-year sentence upheld.
Across Iran, at least 50 others are known to be in prison because of their Christian faith or activities. Some, like Farshid, have been convicted and sentenced, though many have not yetbeen formally charged. Others have been released on bail and are awaiting hearings.
Christians supporting Farshid request our prayers that:
a. Farshid, together with others injured on 17th April, will know the healing touch of Jesus
b. Farshid, his wife and their two children will know the presence, peace and protection of Jesus each day
c. Likewise for others convicted and imprisoned for their Christian activities, and that they will remain steadfast in their faith and clear in their witness and testimony
d. Those detained would have access to Scriptures and be able to communicate with their families
e. All those detained unjustly will be released
f. All officials involved will love mercy, act justly, learn about Jesus and choose to follow Him.

Greetings in the name of Jesus, Prince of Peace
Syrian Christians are calling for a day of prayer and fasting for Syria on 11th April. As the devastating conflict continues, Christians continue to be affected by the violence along with all other communities in Syria.
We regret to report that earlier today (7th April) Father Frans van der Lugt, a 75 year-old Dutch priest who has been resident in Syria for more than 40 years, was murdered in the Bustan ad-Diwan neighbourhood of Homs. Father van der Lugt was killed by an assailant who entered his residence, took him outside and shot him. Talal al-Barazi, governor of Homs province, has reportedly claimed that the perpetrator is associated with Jabhat an-Nusra, an al-Qaeda affiliate group in control of that area.
There has been much media attention on recent events in the town of Kessab, near Syria's border with Turkey, which has a significant Armenian population. On 21st March armed groups opposed to the government took control of the area. Up to 3,000 Christians reportedly fled. Following the take-over, some church buildings were desecrated, homes pillaged and government buildings destroyed. However, Christians from Kessab, including the town's mayor, have refuted reports that alleged that a massacre occurred.
Syrian Christians request our prayers that:
a. Fr. Frans' family, friends and colleagues will know the presence, peace and comfort of Jesus
b. Church leaders will know the Spirit's guiding wisdom in all aspects of their work
c. Those forced to leave Kessab will know the protection, provision and peace of Jesus
d. Efforts to secure a nationwide ceasefire will be resumed, including efforts to curb the influx of foreign fighters and weapons and to promote reconciliation
e. All those detained without trial or held by kidnappers will be released, including the two bishops kidnapped in April 2013, a priest kidnapped in July 2013 and two priests kidnapped in February 2013
f. Local initiatives to promote reconciliation will be effective and wisely supported
g. Humanitarian assistance will be provided for all those in need within Syria and amongst Syrian refugees in neighbouring countries.

Greetings in the name of Jesus, the Good Shepherd
Last week we requested prayer regarding the effects of a legal change on the trial of five men arrested at the scene of the murder of three Christians in Malatya in April 2007. Recall that a new regulation means people cannot be held in remand for more than five years. Under these new provisions, the five perpetrators were released, as expected, on Friday evening (7th March) pending trial.
The Turkish press has condemned the fact that there have not yet been convictions and expressed concern about the release of the defendants. They also point to various irregularities in the trial process. A local TV station in Malatya interviewed Susanne Geske, who continues to live in Malatya. She spoke of her forgiveness in Christ of her husband's murderers and that she held no bitterness against them, but questioned the justice of the release and how the Christian community might thereby be affected.
The Association of Protestant Churches in Turkey issued a statement today (12th March)saying that the release has caused great sorrow among Christians and that belief in justice has been shaken. They express their horror at having the perpetrators once more at large in society, especially as they had verbally threatened the relatives and lawyers of the victims in court during 2013. The Association also called on the government to do its duty and intervene promptly to prevent any miscarriage of justice.
On 10th March the Justice Minister announced that four of the five would be electronically tagged. The fifth would be monitored using different technology as the tagging system would not work in the area where his family lives.
The trial now involves a total of18 defendants, with 13 added during the process on charges of instigating or otherwise being involved with the crime. Those close to the trial hope that verdicts in the case of the five perpetrators will be issued soon. The prosecution have requested that the five perpetrators each receive three terms of life imprisonment.
Recall that the five defendants murdered Necati Aydin, Ugur Yuksel and Tilmann Geske at the Zirve Publishing House on account of their Christian activities. Their trial opened in November 2007 but became complicated as the investigation into the murders revealed that those behind the actual perpetrators had links to wider conspiracies.
Turkish Christians following the trial request our continued prayers that:
a. The families and friends of murdered Christians will know the peace and presence of Jesus
b. The Christian community in Malatya would not fear and that they wouldcontinue to show a faithful witness
c. The current publicity on this case will facilitate prompt completion of the judicial process
d. Judges throughout Turkey will be wise in applying this change in this legal change
e. All defendants released under the legal change would not be able to flee the country to avoid judicial processes
f. The truth concerning the Malatya murders will be revealed, and all guilty of involvement will be convicted
g. All those who aided or perpetrated the murders would have a deep conviction about what they have done, and understand the depths of Jesus' forgiveness
h. All Christians involved will know the Spirit's enabling, equipping and assisting as they persevere in their efforts to promote justice
i. All judges, other officials, lawyers and journalists involved will hear the gospel of Jesus, and be drawn to the Father's love, forgiveness and acceptance.

Greetings in the name of Jesus
Iranian Christians have requested our prayers following the arrest on 5th March of three believers, Amin Khaki, Hossein Barunzadeh and Rahman Bahman. They were arrested near Shoush, Khuzestan province, together with five other believers, while attending a picnic. The other five present were questioned for several hours and released. The security agents reportedly had arrest warrants for Amin and Hossein, but not for the others.
Amin, a deacon in the fellowship led by Behnam Irani (detained since May 2011), has faced problems from the authorities in recent years. He was arrested on 10th May 2010 in Karaj, charged with anti-government activity and given a one-year suspended sentence (suspended for five years). On 15th December 2013 the homes of Amin and several associates were searched and computer equipment confiscated. It is understood that a travel ban was imposed on Amin and another church leader in February 2014, forbidding them from leaving Alborz province. If so, he was in breach of this order at the time of his arrest.
There are concerns that these travel bans and the latest arrests are part of a wider campaign to restrict the movement and activities of known ministry leaders.
Christians supporting these believers request our prayers that:
a. Amin, Hossein and Rahman will know the peace and presence of Jesus each day, and will remain faithful to Jesus and clear in their testimony
b. They will be released soon
c. Ministry leaders throughout Iran will know the Spirit's guiding wisdom when confronted with pressures and restrictions from the authorities
d. Behnam and others detained in Iran for their faith or Christian activities will know the Lord's daily enabling and healing, be cleared of all unjust charges and released
e. All officials involved will love mercy, act justly, learn about Jesus and choose to follow Him.

Greetings in the name of Jesus, Emmanuel, God with us.
Syrian Christians rejoice in the news that 13 Greek Orthodox nuns and their three attendants were released overnight and returned to Damascus this morning (10th March) in a prisoner exchange deal. The nuns and attendants are understood to be tired but otherwise well, and report that they were generally treated well by their captors..
These nuns and their attendants were abducted on 2nd December 2013 after Jabhat al-Nusra and four other armed groups attacked Ma'aloula, a historic Christian town north of Damascus. It is understood that most of the 40 nuns at St. Thecla Convent and the orphans in their care were relocated to a safer location before the outbreak of violence. However, the Mother Superior, Pelagia Sayyaf, and some other nuns
The release follows extensive discreet negotiations between the Syrian government and Jabhat al-Nusra mediated by Lebanese and Qatari officials. The government is releasing 153 Syrian women detained without trial.
Syrian Church leaders have requested our perseverance in prayer for peace and stability in their country. There are several causes of deep distress for many Syrians, including the continued prevalence of kidnapping, denial of access for aid convoys, attacks on aid convoys and the use of siege tactics in several areas employed by numerous parties to the on-going crisis.
Syrian Christians thank us for our prayers and rejoice in the release of these people. They request our continued intercession asking that:
a. The nuns of Ma'aloula and their attendants will recover quickly from their ordeal, and be able to resume caring for orphans and others in need
b. The two bishops kidnapped in April, a monk missing since early August, two priests kidnapped in February 2013 and other Christians held hostage will be released unharmed
c. Syrian Christians will know the close presence of Jesus, the guidance of the Spirit and the protection of the Father
d. Violence will cease, peace be restored and the clear rule of law applied equally to all will be established throughout Syria
e. The international community, together with those in local control, will act decisively to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches all those in need.

Susan Brown's column of the 26th with Obama giving up the Second Amendment to the United Nations is an example of extreme demagoguery. Saying something that is not true to inflame the gun lobby that always needs a liberal target to hate. There is as much a chance of the UN exercising sovereignty over the United States as there is of Ms. Brown being appointed Queen of England.Those of us who would like to control massive ammunition clips, assault weapons and other non-hunting and non-protection weapons will have to wait for a complete change in the electorate. Meanwhile, no Democrat who wants to continue in office will risk offending the NRA.Ted Thomas, Breckenridge

Upper Billet Grille Overlay
- Black Finished Billet - This billet aluminum upper grille has an aggressive semi-gloss black finish that compliments the Shelby GT500's front end beautifully. The high quality construction of this billet grille means that it will last.
- Cobra Cutout - The Cobra cutout on the left of the grille allows your mighty Cobra emblem to show through. Unlike other grilles which require removing your factory grille emblem and re-attaching it, this grille saves you that trouble - and that means no messy gluing!
Lower Billet Grille Overlay
- Perfect Match - The lower billet grille overlay has the same aggressive semi-gloss black finish as the upper grille for a perfect match and completes the look of the 2010-2012 GT500 Mustangs.
- Quality Construction - This lower grille overlay is made from the same durable lightweight billet aluminum as the upper grille for great looks and long life.
Installs in Minutes. Simply install these billet grilles over your existing stock factory grille with the supplied hardware, they can be installed in just minutes in the comfort of your own driveway.
Application. These Billet Grille overlays are specifically designed to fit the 2010-2012 Shelby GT500 Mustangs.
