Recipe by SASSYCASSYSMOMMY
"My great-grandmother's recipe for stollen, a German Holiday Bread. Most people put frosting on top, but I don't."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons lemon zest
3/4 cup butter
1 (.25 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
1 teaspoon white sugar
1/4 cup warm water
2 eggs
2 egg yolks
5 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 egg, beaten
Tastes pretty close to my Grandma's recipe. I halved recipe and next time will make whole. A powdered sugar glaze drizzled over is a nice touch. EDIT: Well, I made it for Christmas for the whole family (And we haven't had my grandma's stollen sinced she passed away in 1997). It was a hit! I followed the recipe exactly but added 2 cups raisins. So tender and flaky with a hint of lemon.
I have had many different types of stollen, however, this recipe is not for a stollen rather more a Raisin Bread or Breakfast bread. Stollen has more ingredients and is coated in Powder sugar. The Bread tasted best with honey butter on it.

Finally someone who bakes a German Stollen like my German Mother (Yes she was born ans raised in Germany) taught me. I've had discussion with people who tried to tell me it wasn't authentic. But then, it isn't the Dresdener Stollen is it?
My husband's parents are immigrants from Germany. They have a tradition of making Stollen and delivering it to all the neighbors on Christmas Eve. My husband always wants to do the same. My mother-in-law gave me the recipe, but without any instructions! This recipe was very similar to hers, so I just followed these instructions and it turned out great! We coated it with some powdered sugar glaze with almond extract. This added just the right taste to compliment it.
it's not frosting that you put on top, it's powdered sugar with a bit of lemon juice mixed. And it's just a very thin layer which makes it just right.
Made this today for a catering event at work. It was great! I used apricot and dried cranberry's since that was the only dried fruit I had. Many compliments. I will use this recipe again. Thank you for sharing it.
The taste was very good, however, since it had only 1 envelope for over 5 cups of flour it did not raise much. Rule of thumb is 1 envelope for 3 cups of flour. I added cardamom 1/2 tsp. The lemon zest gave it that special taste.
Wonderful stollen, just like my Germany grandma used to make...just the right amount of subtle flavors. It makes a HUGE loaf...next time I will make two smaller loaves rather than one.

Red alert fails to quell fear
Land prices in Jammu, Srinagar soar |
Saxena pleads for communal harmony Srinagar, August 14 The Jammu and Kashmir Governor, Mr Girish Chander Saxena, has called upon the people of the state to come out more openly to make their voice for peace heard and work for eliminating the scourge of militancy to take the state forward on path of peace, progress and prosperity. Shiv Sena men

Red alert fails to quell fear Jammu, August 14 He said that under the red alert sounded, security forces have been carrying out regular checking of vehicles and frisking of people in various sensitive areas. As police barriers have been set up at various places in the state to monitor the movement of militants, several families have temporarily migrated from areas around Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar to escape any harassment from the security forces. These families have fled to safer areas as word has gone round that Fidayeen may carry out armed attack which could provoke the security forces to rough up civilians. However, senior police officers dismissed it as a gimmick from the separatists. They said all possible measures had been taken to check any militant strike. But people had reason to be scared when they saw two youths, equipped with assault rifles, and on a scooter, fixing a Pakistani flag at a traffic beat in Lal Chowk in Srinagar. Their scare was genuine because this was done despite heavy deployment of security forces. And in various areas Pakistan flags were spotted flutter on housetops in connection with Pakistans Independence Day today. Back in Jammu, activists of the Shiv Sena and Bajrang Dal staged separate demonstrations where anti-Pakistan slogans were raised. The activists set ablaze effigies of Gen Pervez Musharraf. The authorities have diverted traffic to keep the mini stadium in Jammu and the Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar safe from militants strikes who could have otherwise gone nearer the venue of the functions in a vehicle. In the border areas of the Jammu sector, people continued to be gripped by fear following repeated Pakistan firing on the border outposts on this side of the International Border. One civilian was wounded in the Kanachak area in the firing. Though the BSF retaliated, the roar of the Pakistan guns was heard in several border villages through the night. According to a senior police officer, additional forces have been deployed on this side of the IB to foil any mischief. The state government has made arrangements for celebrating the I-Day at all district and tehsil headquarters and ministers have been allotted the areas where they would hoist the Tricolour and take salute at a march past presented by the contingents of security forces, students and the NCC. In an atmosphere of scare and suspense, people await the developments during the next two days with bated breath. During the past three days one missed crowds at shopping centres. The rush of incoming and outgoing passengers on bus stands and railway stations has thinned. |
Land prices in Jammu, Srinagar soar Jammu, August 14 The winter and the summer capitals of the state both have seen fast expansion. Take the case of the winter capital of Jammu. It has expanded in the south up to
R.S. Pora, in the west up to Muthi village, in the east up to Jajjar Kotli and in the north up to
Bantalab. The city of Srinagar has expanded up to Pampore in the east, Ganderbal in the north, Magam in the west and Budgam in the south. Leaving aside the plush colonies in Srinagar and Jammu cities where a kanal of land is priced at Rs 25 lakh -Rs 30 lakh, several areas in the outskirts of the two capitals, which are yet to be brought under the municipal limits, the per kanal land price ranges between Rs 10 lakh-Rs 15 lakh. Even official reports confirm that in areas which used to be waterlogged a decade ago, between Hyderpora to
Budgam, between Bemina and Magam and between Lasjan and Pampore, the per kanal price has shot up to anything between Rs 10 lakh-Rs 15 lakh. A similar rise has been witnessed from Soura to Ganderbal in north of Srinagar. In areas which are 10 to 20 km away from the Jammu city, land prices have shot up to Rs 5-Rs 14
lakh per
kanal. As a result of rise in militancy, over four lakh people in the Kashmir valley migrated to Jammu. Most of them purchased land in remote areas of the city, leading to a rise in prices. As the strife increased in Poonch, Rajouri and Doda district, large groups of people belonging to both communities migrated to Jammu and purchased land and houses. In case of Srinagar city, villagers rushed to the summer capital where they purchased land for houses. A large number of Kashmiri Muslims have taken a fancy for a second home in Jammu. This has led to a rapid growth in new colonies in areas which are between 5 km to 15 km from the winter capital. This has also allowed Sidhra township to grow rapidly. A TNS snap survey reveals while in Srinagar more than 20,000 new houses have come up during the past 10 years, more than 50,000 small and big buildings have been constructed within a radius of 15 km of Jammu during the same period. The survey reveals that despite a collapse in the valleys economy, politicians, legislators, ministers, bureaucrats, businessmen, separatist leaders and militants have invested in 50-400 kanals of land in various areas of the two capitals. As the affluent section in Kashmir realised that their money in the banks was not safe owing to the threat of extortion from militants, they spent their money on purchasing land which they found yielded better dividends than bank interest. Prior to the rise of insurgency, the backbone of the economy in Kashmir rested on fruit production, tourism, handicraft and
charas, besides saffron cultivation. After the fall in tourist traffic (it has come down from over seven lakh a year to several thousand a year during the past 11 years) and fruit production, charas cultivation trade flourished on account of heavy purchases by security personnel. In addition, the flow of foreign money increased considerably and those connected directly or indirectly with militancy extracted a pound of flesh from both Indian and Pakistani agencies. In Jammu, the rapid increase in pilgrim traffic to Mata Vaishno Devi (the figures having touched 52 lakh a year against 18 lakh in early nineties), the flow of over Rs 15 crore a month from Kashmiri migrants to traders, transporters and house owners and allied trade activities has given an opportunity to the people to earn fortunes. According to leaders of the Jammu Commerce and Industries, a days bandh or curfew restrictions cause a loss to the tune of Rs 22 crore a day to transporters, traders, hoteliers and others. A majority of affluent Kashmiri families have built their second homes in Jammu and most villagers in the Kashmir valley have constructed second homes in Srinagar city and its neighbouring areas. During the first seven years of militancy, wedding ceremonies used to be a symbol of austerity. Instead of the famous
wazwaan, the guests were served with tea and biscuits or cake. However, during the past three years, more than two quintals of mutton is cooked, on an average, during the wedding ceremonies. A social scientist working in Jammu University said in the troubled state of Jammu and Kashmir a situation was fast emerging in which one would find only two classes, the rich and the poor. He said either the middle class had become poor or had joined the club of the rich. According to him, the rich continue to get richer and the poor more poor which could have a fallout on the security scenario in the state, when Pakistani agencies were trying to use the power of money to lure unemployed youth to militancy. He said a section among the poor Hindus living in border villages in Jammu Sector were being lured to act as gun smugglers in lieu of fat sums of money. |
Saxena pleads for communal harmony Srinagar, August 14 In his Independence Day message the Governor asked the people to draw strength from their cherished traditions of communal harmony and composite culture and the tested value of democracy and secularism to take the state forward. He said that the people of the state are peace-loving and yearn for restoration of order and normalcy so that they can again get on with the task of economic development which will generate more employment opportunities for the youth. Without naming Hurriyat leaders, the Governor said that it is also time for some leaders who claim to be the only true representatives of the people, to better understand the ground realities and follow a pro-people agenda rather than serve another countrys agenda for their own ends. Referring to the Centres
series of peace initiatives, the Governor said that although the summit meeting at Agra remained inconclusive, Indias efforts for peace will continue. All these initiatives were inspired by the commitment to peace and reconciliation and a sincere desire to move on without remaining a prisoner of the past. It will be a serious mistake on the part of our adversaries to interpret these initiatives otherwise. He said that nobody should doubt Indias resolve, strength or stamina to continue resisting violence until it is decisively crushed. Mr Saxena said that militants were committing most horrendous and barbaric crimes against humanity in the name of so-called Jehad and thus bringing a bad name to a great religion. It is preposterous that some in the neighbouring country who claim to be giving them only moral, diplomatic and political support, explain away these large-scale killings of innocent civilians as unavoidable in a, what they call, freedom struggle. |

burn Pak flag
Jammu, August 14 The Sena activists on motorbikes and cars went through the city raising slogans denouncing Pakistans support to cross-border terrorism, official sources said. A Pakistani flag and an effigy of General Musharraf was burnt by the activists at City Chowk here. The protesters tried to proceed towards Srinagar but were stopped by the police at Udhampur, the sources said.

i just went from 13" mbp to 11" mba, and i love it. So light compared. The only thing that annoys me, is the way to thick bezel. Could have fitted a 12.8" with ease

2010 11" owner here.
in 2012 bought 2012 13" to replace it thinking the 2010 was getting long in the tooth. while the larger screen was nice, found the 13" bulky and noisy. returned it after trying it out a couple weeks. started using full screen mode more on the 2010 11". didn't really need the increased cpu power. may upgrade to 2013 11" if we get ips screen and better battery life. otherwise the 2010 has been awesome - take it everywhere. |

Back in 2004 I used my educational (college) pricing to purchase a 17" PowerBook to replace my old Titanium PowerBook, which was handed down to my wife. I used the 17" PowerBook daily for about 3 1/2 years, until I found a deal on a NOS 12" PowerBook that was the same processor speed (1.5Ghz G4) as my 17". That 12" PowerBook was the most portable little workhorse I could ever imagine, which is why I chose it over the newly released intel machines. I used the 12" PowerBook up until late 2009 when it was becoming more and more apparent that I needed an intel powered Mac. As luck would have it I inherited a 17" MacBook Pro. The performance was amazing but damn was that thing big. Going from a 12" back to a 17" bugged me from day one. I refused though to spend money on a 13" MacBook / MacBook Pro though because I knew Apple had to make a smaller model at some point to compete with netbooks and win back the old 12" PowerBook fans...
Then October 2010 hit and the new 11" & 13" MacBook Airs were announced. Working for Apple at the time I was excited because I knew we would receive them quickly. I held off on ordering until the next day when the 11" models arrived. I went into work early, picked one up, booted it and smiled. I went back to the GR during my lunch and ordered one. Haven't looked back since. Fast forward a few years and I'm working at a large non-profit that gave me a 13" MacBook Pro when I started. I'm not one to complain so I was excited to have a newer MacBook Pro. However, a few months in we had an employee order an 11" MacBook Air and then change departments, leaving the Air without a home. So rather than send it back to Apple I adopted it and now have my personal 11" MacBook Air and my work 11" MacBook Air. tldr; No regrets going from 17" to 11", 12" to 11" or from 13" to 11" |

I could live with 5 hours but in almost every situation by just using Chrome and 1 other application (iTunes, word, whatever I was using) it would end up around 4 hours battery life rather than 5. If I strictly used Safari I'm sure I could've gotten closer to 5 but that shouldn't be necessary just to get 5 hours out of it. All I meant was that I didn't find it worthwhile for a $1000+ machine to last significantly less than 5 hours, which is why I traded it out. I could get quite a bit more battery life in an older MBP so it just made it worthless for me.

New MacBook Air 11" rated at 9hrs of battery life. Guess battery life should no longer be a reason for not getting the 11" this year.

Battery vs Speed
I've ordered a 11' i7 but i see at the bottom of their tech specs page that all tests were performed with the i5 processor, I think I'll get less battery with the i7, can anybody tell if there is a real impact on i5 vs i7 speed?
I would rather get more battery life if speeds are the similar, now I'm using a MBP early 2011 with a 1TB 5400 hd so I guess I'll notice the difference. |

MMQB (cont.) |
*** The Rams, TV, Tim Tebow, and the West Coast: A different draft season. All credit to Don "Donnie Brasco'' Banks of this site for tipping us all on this: The first pick of the second round this year will be the most valuable first pick of a second round in NFL history. The NFL will begin the draft with round one on Thursday, April 22, at 7:30 p.m. ET, with rounds two and three set for 6:30 p.m. on Friday , and the final four rounds kicking off Saturday at 10 a.m. Think about being the Rams: In a very good year for draft prospects, teams will reset their draft boards after the first round, look up and see that one of their top 12 or 14 players is still on the board. Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen. Cal running back Jahvid Best. Texas pass-rusher Sergio Kindle. Idaho guard Mike Iupati. One of the leftover good tackles -- maybe Anthony Davis of Rutgers. The desperado Rams will need the pick, obviously, because they need players. But some teams will want that pick badly; I'm sure of it. And some team just might pay through the nose to get it. You only have to look at last year to see how this could develop. At the end of the first day of the draft, a couple of Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum's closest aides starting hounding him to go get the first pick in the third round from Detroit. There on the draft board was the 19th-rated player by the Jets, Iowa running back Shonn Greene. New York could sit at number 76 and hope Greene was there, or it could overpay to take the pick from Detroit. The Lions wanted a three, four and seven for the Jets to move up 11 spots. Tannenbaum hated to do it because it was a ransom, but you can see how valuable a player Greene turned out to be; he'll likely open 2010 as the Jets' starting running back. That was a third-round pick, number 65. The Rams' pick is 33 overall, in a much better overall draft. Imagine if they have three or four players they like there and would risk moving down eight or 10 spots -- but the asking price to do that is a 2011 first-round pick. Stranger things have happened when a team gets desperate. St. Louis will also have the edge Saturday morning, with the first pick of a new day, but the ransom won't be nearly as high for that pick, obviously. Now for the network story. NFL Network and ESPN will have the built-in tease of all time for day two of the draft -- provided, of course, that Tim Tebow is not chosen in the first round. I'd say it looks unlikely he goes in round one, but you never know how his stock will rise and fall in the next seven weeks. You think you're sick of Tim Tebow now? Wait 'til the late SportsCenter on that Thursday night, then all day Friday in advance of the second and third rounds. Where's Tim Tebow going? The suspense builds! Tune in tonight for day two of the NFL draft! Tebow's going to be in a tough position -- as will his agent, Jimmy Sexton. How much access does he give the networks to the vulnerable Tebow at that point? They'll be frothing over Tebow. Not that this is going to help Tebow in the eyes of the public. My e-mail and Twitter followers seems to feel about Tebow the same way they feel about Brett Favre: They're sick of him. Tough balancing act there. I imagine what's been a trickle by fans to this point will be an open faucet as draft weekend gets closer. West Coast fans are ticked off that draft weekend has been ruined for them -- at least ruined if they want to have normal workdays. With the draft beginning at 4:30 p.m. West Coast time Thursday and continuing Friday at 3:30 PST, I understand the anger of left-coasters at the NFL. But if the ratings sing -- as is the case with so much in the NFL -- this format will become permanent. *** I'm not a big combine guy, as you may know, but I do know NFL teams are pretty happy with what they saw of the running backs here. When players started boycotting combine workouts 15 or so years ago, there was one year when the top seven backs did nothing at the combine, on the advice of their injury-fearing agents. The tide's turned. This year, 27 of the 29 backs ran the 40-yard dash and did the physical tests all players do at the combine. The two best backs by acclamation also were two or the fastest: Clemson's C.J. Spiller (4.33 seconds in the 40-) and Cal's Jahvid Best (4.35) both ran a little better than expected. I was encouraged to see a guy I like a lot, Stanford's big back, Toby Gerhart, run a 4.53, a little better than people thought he would. Anyone who watched Gerhart play last season and who would think he can't play in this league and play at a high level just doesn't know football. Disappointing runner: all-purpose back Dexter McCluster of Ole Miss. He ran in the 4.5s. Not good for a guy who weighs 171. He sure plays better (and looks faster) than that. Let me take you into one interesting thing I saw at the combine. Walking through one of the downtown hotels Friday, I ran into a team doctor I know. He told me he'd examined lots of offensive linemen in his years coming to the combine, but Maryland tackle Bruce Campbell was the best physical specimen he'd ever seen. And when he ran a 4.78 40, one of the fastest by a lineman ever, Campbell's stock shot up all over town. But the most sobering note about Campbell came from Gil Brandt, who helped invent the event years ago and works it every year for the NFL. Brandt said Campbell hadn't received a single all-conference-team vote last year. If a guy's a first-round prospect, would he unanimously NOT be all-conference? I'm not saying the sculpted 6-foot-6, 314-pound Campbell won't be a good player, but he's sounding like a Raider pick to me. Great athlete, questionable production -- like last year's Terp picked first by Oakland, wideout Darrius Heyward-Bey. "I know I didn't get any honors,'' Campbell said, "but I feel my self-accomplishments were better than winning a medal or anything else.'' What, exactly, is a self-accomplishment? *** The Mike McGuire Cause: Five For Fighting. That's what I'm calling my fundraising effort for McGuire and his 135 fighting troops in his Havoc Company, 40th Engineers, which will be deployed to Afghanistan later this year. Mike and his men are preparing in Germany for their deployment, and I asked Mike just before the holidays if there was anything I could do for him and his troops. At first he said, "We're fine.'' Then he said it would nice if the base that will likely be invented for his company -- as are many in remote areas of Afghanistan -- could have some or the comforts that the big bases have: a TV with video games, and weight equipment for the soldiers in the company to use in their downtime. So I have partnered with the USO, with an assist from "Five For Fighting,'' the band of American singer-songwriter John Ondrasik (who graciously loaned me the name). It's Five For Fighting, because I'm asking for $5 for this project. A manageable $5 -- or whatever you'd like to give. I am asking you, if you are able, and if you have followed the courageous McGuire over the past five years in this column, and enjoyed getting to know him, to link to the USO's page for the benefit and consider helping McGuire's soldiers, who go to war later this year. It'll be McGuire's third deployment in the area. Just follow it to the USO page designed to make it easy for you to give $5, or send $5 by mail, for a mini-recreation center with video games and weight equipment for the men fighting for our liberty. I met Mike five years ago at a St. Louis Cardinals baseball game while on my training-camp tour of NFL teams. I was at the game alone, struck up a conversation with the guy next to me, also at the game alone, and by the fifth inning I wasn't watching the game anymore. I was listening to the riveting military story of McGuire, then 34, now 39. His company specializes in ridding the landscape of IEDs (improvised explosive devices) on the roads of Iraq and Afghanistan, so others in the military can do their job safely. If you're seen "The Hurt Locker,'' you know what Mike and his men do. They put their lives on the line for 12-hour shifts every day. "We're trained to do a job and to do it well,'' McGuire says. "We just focus on the job, not on the danger -- though we're not kidding ourselves. We know how dangerous it is.'' I talked to McGuire on Friday, the one-year anniversary of the death of a New Jersey soldier, a Cpl. Connelly, in his care. "In the last week I've been sleeping horribly,'' he said. "Subliminally, maybe I knew this day was coming. But you just have to keep going. The rush of finding something in the road and knowing you've saved lives is a great feeling.'' He's grateful to have heard from many of you over the years. "We've got a lot of pressure on us every day we're deployed,'' McGuire said. "To have the people back home think enough of us to help with some equipment to enjoy our down time is absolutely awesome.'' And thanks to "Five for Fighting,'' starting a tour tonight in Burlington, Vt. "Anything for the soldiers overseas,'' Ondrasik said. Anything -- starting with your $5 donation today. And if we get more than the money needed to help McGuire's platoon, we'll help others, hopefully scores of platoons and companies. | More NFL

ABSTRACT: This study was designed to determine the effects of PPARalpha lack on cardiac mechanical performance and to identify potential intracellular mechanisms linking PPARalpha pathway deficiency to cardiac contractile dysfunction. Echocardiography, ex vivo papillary muscle assays, and in vitro motility assays were used to assess global, intrinsic ventricular muscle performance and myosin mechanical properties, respectively, in PPARalpha(-/-) and age-matched wild-type mice. Three-nitrotyrosine formation and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal protein-adducts, both markers of oxidative damage, were analyzed by Western blot analysis and immunolabeling. Radical scavenging capacity was analyzed by measuring protein levels and/or activities of the main antioxidant enzymes, including catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and manganese and copper-zinc superoxide dismutases. Echocardiographic left ventricular fractional shortening in PPARalpha(-/-) was 16% lower than that in wild-type. Ex vivo left ventricular papillary muscle exhibited reduced shortening velocity and isometric tension (three- and twofold, respectively). In vitro myosin-based velocity was approximately 20% slower in PPARalpha(-/-), indicating that myosin itself was involved in the contractile dysfunction. Staining of 3-nitrotyrosine was more pronounced in PPARalpha(-/-), and myosin heavy chain was the main nitrated protein. Formation of 3-nitrotyrosine myosin heavy chain was twofold higher in PPARalpha(-/-) and 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal protein-adducts were threefold higher. The expression and activity of manganese superoxide dismutase were respectively 33% and 50% lower in PPARalpha(-/-), with no changes in copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, catalase, or glutathione peroxidase. These findings demonstrate that PPARalpha pathway deficiency impairs cardiac function and also identify oxidative damage to myosin as a link between PPARalpha deficiency and contractile dysfunction.AJP Heart and Circulatory Physiology 08/2007; 293(1):H93-H102. · 3.63 Impact Factor -
Article: Angiographic right and left ventricular function in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We prospectively documented right ventricular (RV) and left ventricular (LV) volumes and ejection fractions in a large series of patients with arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). Eighty-five patients with ARVD/C and 11 controls underwent 2 successive orthogonal right and left monoplane x-ray-digitized cineangiographies. Volumes were calculated using the hemielliptical RV and ellipsoidal LV models. All controls and 58 of 85 patients (ARVD/C-I) had a RV ejection fraction > or =35% and 27 patients had a RV ejection fraction <35% (ARVD/C-II). Tricuspid annulus plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) was lower in ARVD/C-II than in ARVD/C-I patients (6 +/- 3 vs 14 +/- 3 mm) and controls (16 +/- 2 mm) (each p <0.001). In patients with ARVD/C, TAPSE was positively related to RV ejection fraction (r = 0.79) and to crista supraventricularis shortening (r = 0.81) (each p <0.001). Sensitivity and specificity of TAPSE <12 mm in identifying patients with RV ejection fraction <35% were 96% and 78%, respectively. LV ejection fraction was > or =50% in 68 patients, 40% to 49% in 10, and <40% in 7. Diffuse RV outflow tract aneurysm was observed in 9 patients, all belonging to ARVD/C-II, and this sign identified patients with LV ejection fraction <40% with 86% sensitivity and 96% specificity. In conclusion, 68% of ARVD/C patients had normal RV ejection fraction and RV volumes, and 80% of ARVD/C patients had normal LV ejection fraction. Decreased TAPSE <12 mm and a diffuse RV outflow tract aneurysm were sensitive and specific indicators of RV ejection fraction <35% and LV ejection fraction <40%, respectively.The American Journal of Cardiology 04/2004; 93(6):728-33. · 3.21 Impact Factor

Considering that Apple doesn't actually manufacture the products in question (they design them and farm out the manufacture of the devices to other companies), let alone manufacture the devices in the US (they are all built in China), how would a product ban result in lost jobs in the US? Do you really care if some underpaid assembly worker working under sweatshop conditions in a foreign country is laid off?
Besides, it would be just desserts for Apple to have their devices stopped at the border, as they did the same thing to HTC when they had the ITC delay the release of their One series of phones.

A gift, many years ago from my wife. This little tent is supposed to be a fare weather friend. But back in 2003, it survived a late afternoon, Florida monsoon style thunderstorm. Our campsite was 3-4 inches under water within the first hour, and my friend Daniel's gear was floating on his thermarest inside his tent, when we scrambled back from a hike, drenched, to say the least. I didn't even want to look in our tent! But, to my amazement it was completely dry. You could feel the water washing along under the tent as we climbed in. Daniel joined us and it made up our mind not to break camp and roll out. I know the reviews for this tent weren't that strong, but that little tent has never let us down to this day.

Duluth-based Locally Laid egg business expands to Twin Cities area
This fall, the eggs from chickens that forage on pasture grasses will be sold at four cooperatives in the Twin Cities area.By: News Tribune staff, Duluth News Tribune
Locally Laid, a pasture-based egg operation in Duluth, is expanding.
Just a year after its eggs first landed on shelves at Whole Foods Co-op and Homecroft Foods in Duluth, Locally Laid eggs is expanding in the Twin Cities area.
This fall, the eggs from chickens that forage on pasture grasses will be sold at four cooperatives in the Twin Cities area: East Side Food, the Wedge Community, Seward Community and Center City Market. They'll also be served at Birchwood Cafe and Modern Times Cafe in Minneapolis, the company announced.
In addition, Upper Lakes Foods, a wholesale food service, will become a distributor of Locally Laid eggs.
The fresh eggs distributed in the Twin Cities will be supplied by a farmer in Kalona, Iowa, who converted his indoor, cage-free operation of 4,000 chickens to a pasture-based one to become a Locally Laid operation. The hens go outside to exercise and forage for grasses, which produces healthier and tastier eggs, said company founder Jason Amundsen.
The company plans to continue to take on partner farms with the goal of increasing its distribution area to two more states by early 2014, according to a news release.

They may not riding horses and they may not be fighting indians, but the job of the men and women of the United States Border Patrol seems mighty close that of the peacekeepers of the Old West. From drug dealers and terrorists to illegal immigrants, the Border Patrol gets it all. In Desert Duty: on the line with the U. S. border patrol, we get a candid in-your-face look at what it takes to be a part of this unique team. The authors, Bill Broyles and Mark Haynes call this duty a 'hero job', and once you read what these people have to deal with, you'll understand why.
One of the first things on our wish list when we started planning for the new library was windows. Situated next to the park and the hiking trails, we wanted to take advantage of the scenery in our design. The architects were in full agreement and created glass walls for the front and back side of the building. These walls give the building a lwonderful light, airy and somewhat see-through feel. We are all really excited about this look.
I recently discovered and interesting fact: the romance genre is currently outselling all other genres in the fiction market. More specifically. an estimated $1.358 billion in sales in 2010. What does this have to do with westerns? A lot actually. Historical romances are a vital part of the romance realm and many of these are set in the west, both the old west and its modern incarnation. So, if you like your romances with a western flavor or you like your westerns with a dash of romance, check out some of our new titles.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Let Appeal Court resolve PUB issue
The conflict between Manitoba Hydro and the Public Utilities Board over the latter's authority to demand documents from the Crown utility is long-standing. It has delayed board orders on Hydro rate applications. The point of law, an interpretation of PUB powers under provincial legislation, needs to be resolved.
Indeed, the argument -- the PUB subpoenaed Manitoba Hydro export contracts as part of a rate application in 2009 -- now sits before the Manitoba Court of Appeal. The Appeal Court is an appropriate arbiter in this protracted fight.
Manitoba Hydro says the PUB does not have the authority to subpoena its export contracts with American customers. Those sales, for years, helped keep domestic hydro rates down because surplus power was getting a good price for Hydro. Today, the market for hydroelectric export sales is depressed for a number of reasons, and the revenues have fallen dramatically. The PUB insists in order to review the financial risks Hydro faces -- which it says are central to its analysis of whether rate hikes are justified -- it must know the terms of the contracts.
The dispute obstructed the PUB's final decision of Hydro's rate application for years. Last year, Manitoba Hydro decided to ask the Court of Appeal to quash a PUB order to turn over the contracts.
At a meeting with the Free Press editorial board Wednesday, Manitoba Hydro president Scott Thomson said the utility wants to resolve the dispute out of court. Mr. Thomson said prior to the Appeal Court application, he began discussions with PUB board chairman Regis Gosselin about releasing the export contracts, under agreement that sensitive information would be redacted. (Such a provision for confidentiality is included in the PUB's authority.) The discussion broke down due to "technical" issues, hence the application to the court.
Now, the two bodies are looking at mediation, again in advance of a court decision, expected this summer.
An early voluntary agreement would have been preferable to avoid the lengthy delay. Manitoba Hydro, however, refuses to agree the PUB has authority to subpoena its contracts. Whether an out-of-court agreement is reached or not, this source of conflict needs to be resolved as it may trigger similar disputes because Hydro's development plans far into the future are predicated upon export sales. Hydro and the PUB should allow the Appeal Court to settle the PUB's authority over export contracts.

Plot & Details
Very loosely based on the plot of Henry James' Wing of the Dove, this film resets the story about two lovers trying to steal everything from a dying millionairess, by putting it in the late-20th century instead of late-19th century; it has the lovers be a French prostitute and Italian low-life instead of an Englishwoman and a journalist; and the dying woman is now French instead of American. Once adjusted to those changes, viewers may no longer have any expectations of a homage to Henry James in this French-Italian adaptation.

With more than twenty years' experience in the education sector, John Proctor, 43, from Atherton in Manchester, has held previous positions including an advisor for Blackburn with Darwen Council (BwDC), where he worked with educational institutions to ensure quality learning was delivered to young people in the borough.
Prior to his advisory role at BwDC, John was a senior leader at a school in Wigan and held posts as head of mathematics and ICT in other schools in the region.
John was appointed by Visions Learning Trust following a role as curriculum advisor at Blackburn-based training provider, Training 2000. He will be responsible for the day-to-day running of the UTC, based at Victoria Mill on Trafalgar Street, Burnley, to ensure that young people leave the UTC with the qualifications and skills they need to maximise their career potential.
He will also liaise with the VLT's employer partners, including leading firms such as Rolls Royce, Chubb and Fort Vale, to develop and facilitate employer-led projects, a main aim of the UTC's curriculum.
"I am delighted to be given this fantastic opportunity and I am thoroughly looking forward to working closely with managing director (principal designate), Martin Callagher, to provide local young people with learning that meets the needs of employers," said John.
"Our vision is to bridge the gap between education and business and we will be leading the way on innovative learning in Pennine Lancashire. It will be my job to guarantee that Visions Learning Trust matches and exceeds the quality of education for young people and that they leave the UTC equip for the world of work.
"My role will also be to ensure we inspire learners who may be having difficulties in traditional education settings to achieve. Visions Learning Trust will provide opportunities for those young people to invent solutions to employer-posed problems and for the gifted and talented to work innovatively as they strive to become the engineering and construction leaders of tomorrow."
John, who is originally from Leeds, is married with two daughters in high-school and is a keen musician and a former musical director for the local theatre group. John said he hopes to use his musical talents to inspire other youngsters at the UTC.
"I play the organ and the keyboard and have the ambition to start a Rock School in the UTC - I'm already planning our first gig for summer 2014! We have an exciting programme of enrichment activities for all our learners and we have recently partnered with Burnley FC to deliver the Duke of Edinburgh's Award."
Steve Gray, chief executive at Training 2000, lead sponsors of Visions Learning Trust, added: "The operations director role is vital to the success of the UTC and it was important that the right person was appointed.
"After a very thorough process, I am really pleased that we have been able to appoint someone of John's calibre who will bring enthusiasm, knowledge and a wealth of educational experience to deliver the high expectations for the UTC."
Combining traditional education programmes with employer-led technical training, Visions Learning Trust will focus on developing the high skills levels required by employers in the engineering, advanced manufacturing and construction industries.
Development and conversion of the historic Victoria Mill in Burnley is being undertaken by Nelson-based Barnfield Construction in a joint venture with Burnley Borough Council. The facility will be fully operational by August 2013.

Summary: Whether America was founded as a Christian nation or as a secular republic is one of the most fiercely debated questions in American history. Historians Matthew Harris and Thomas Kidd offer an authoritative examination of the essential documents needed to understand this debate. The texts included in this volume - writings and speeches from both well-known and obscure early American thinkers - show that religion played a prominent yet fractious role in the era of the American Revolut ...show moreion.
In their personal beliefs, the Founders ranged from profound skeptics like Thomas Paine to traditional Christians like Patrick Henry. Nevertheless, most of the Founding Fathers rallied around certain crucial religious principles, including the idea that people were ''created'' equal, the belief that religious freedom required the disestablishment of state-backed denominations, the necessity of virtue in a republic, and the role of Providence in guiding the affairs of nations. Harris and Kidd show that through the struggles of war and the framing of the Constitution, Americans sought to reconcile their dedication to religious vitality with their commitment to religious freedom. ...show less

Dear Dish-It: Does An Older Guy Like Me?
How can I find out if an older boy likes me? Back to Article
2011-05-11 10:45:29 -0700
I know I am going to get extremely critisized for this but all i have to say is dating an Older guy is totally okay. As long as they know they're limits with you, they know how you feel about certian situations, (assume what i mean please) he treats you really well, and he does not hurt you in any way, shape, or form... He is fine. If you introduce him to your guardians and they approve him as a friend, thats a start, a GREAT start actually.

Bayport Cafe Launches Funding Campaign to Expand Operations
Kickstarter campaign aims to raise $26K by January 3.
The owners, Michelle and Christopher Kelly, say their business has outgrown its current Middle Road location and are aiming to open in a new bigger spot, hopefully very close by, that will allow them to not only expand on products but also offer a variety of services from catering to running classes and workshops.
"We're so excited about this," said Michelle in a phone interview with Patch Thursday morning.
The funding campaign, launched on Kickstarter on Dec. 4, is a 30-day effort and the business owners are hoping to raise $26,772 by Friday, Jan. 3 toward the total cost of $85,278.
They need to reach that goal per Kickstarter's requirements otherwise all pledged funds will be negated. Michelle told Patch in a phone interview Thursday that the initial funding goal would be enough to make the business goal become a reality.
As of Thursday morning the campaign has raised $410 through seven backers.
Along with relocating, the business owners plan to change the name to Miss Michelle's Gourmand.
"Our new location will still hopefully be in the Bayport area but just a "grown up" larger version of our current spot. Our new location, with its new grown up name, Ms. Michelle's Gourmand is a dedicated Gluten Free Organic Bakery Café, which specializes in making high quality baked goods for individuals of all ages," state the owners on the Kickstarter campaign.
The new location will allow the business to provide both outdoor and indoor seating, the latter complete with a fireplace, as well as much more display case room than the current café offers.
They plan to have a separate vegan baking and brunch section, as well as a wedding cake service and launch their own gluten free IPA beer that they have been developing for over a year.
"Instead of us trying to put all of our product into one cold case and one small muffin counter week after week we will now have more space to offer you the products you love on a yearly basis!," states the couple on the website.
As part of their business pitch, the Kellys reveal how grateful they are for all the local community support since they opened.
"We will always be thankful and we will never forget where we came from. When we started this adventure a few years a go we could only dream of reaching a milestone such as this. We have only YOU to thank! Everyday we have to take a moment and give thanks," they write.

Next: Ink-jet fuel systems |

Archives - November 2009 |
Monday, October 19, 2009 |
What do ink-jet printers, chainsaws and jet engines have in common? More than you would think, if Chris Harris has his way. After building hundreds of aircraft engines over the years, Harris, owner of Northwest UAV Propulsion Systems in McMinnville, keeps running into the same problem — inconsistent droplet sizes in the fuel stream. But by using Hewlett-Packard ink-jet technology in his new fuel-injection system, he says he can make diesel and other fuels burn 15% to 20% more efficiently. Decreasing the amount of partially burned large droplets eventually could lower emissions and improve fuel economy for propeller engines, jets and more common appliances. "The key is getting the droplet size small enough for a clean burn," Harris says. After purchasing five patents from HP in May, Harris, former HP developer John da Cunha, and a research team from the Microproducts Breakthrough Institute in Corvallis developed a prototype engine only four months later. He says there are kinks to work out such as altitude, vibration and shock, but Harris says his quarter-size device could be applied to a variety of small engines, chainsaws included. "We're just trying to make small motors run well," Harris says. WILLIAM E. CRAWFORD |

Chemotherapy practices and perspectives in invasive bladder cancer.

ABSTRACT: Gemcitabine is a promising new drug in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic transitional cell carcinoma of the urothelium. The drug has been tested as a single-agent in one phase I study and four phase II studies. Gemcitabine was administered on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days with a dose in the phase II studies ranging from 1000 to 1250 mg/m(2). Response rates for single-agent gemcitabine in as well previously untreated as cisplatin-based pretreated patients ranged from 23 to 29% with CR rates between 4 and 13%. Toxicities were mild to modest and generally without grade 4 toxicities. The combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin has been tested in three phase II studies. Gemcitabine was administered in a dose of 1000 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8 and 15 every 28 days whereas the cisplatin dose and schedule varied. In one study, cisplatin was given in a dose of 35 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8, and 15 together with gemcitabine; in the two other studies in a dose of 70-75 mg/m(2) on day 1 or 2 in each treatment course. The response rates ranged from 42 to 66% with CR rates of 18, 21 and 28%. Median survival was reported in two of the studies, 12.5 and 13.2 months, respectively. Toxicities were generally manageable although the weekly schedule of cisplatin resulted in a high degree of grade 3-4 neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Thus, the schedule has been optimized by use of monthly cisplatin in a dose of 70 to 75 mg/m(2). The two-drug combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin has also been compared with MVAC in a randomized phase III trial. Gemcitabine was administered in a dose of 1000 mg/m(2) on days 1, 8 and 15 and cisplatin in a dose of 70 mg/m(2) on day 2 every 28 days. The study was initiated late in 1996 and the planned recruitment of 400 patients was reached at the end of October 1998. The results are now eagerly awaited. Preliminary results for gemcitabine tested in two- and three-drug combinations with new agents such as paclitaxel have indicated response rates of up to 79% and these combinations should be further explored.Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology 07/2000; 34(3):175-83. · 4.64 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine maximum tolerated dose of CI-994, a novel oral histone deacetylase inhibitor, in combination with carboplatin and paclitaxel in patients with advanced solid tumors. Patients with advanced solid tumors who had received two or fewer prior chemotherapy regimens were eligible for trial. Five cohorts of patients were treated with escalating doses (4-6 mg/m2) and alternative schedules (7 days or 14 days) of CI-994. Dose escalation of paclitaxel was performed to achieve tolerability of CI-994 with a paclitaxel dose of 225 mg/m2 when administered in combination with carboplatin. Pharmacokinetic assessment of CI-994 was performed by using liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry. Histone deacetylation inhibition was determined by Western blot analysis. A total of 30 patients (median age 58 years) were entered into five treatment cohorts. Maximum tolerated dose of CI-994 was determined to be 4 mg/m2 administered for 7 consecutive days following paclitaxel at a dose of 225 mg/m2 and carboplatin at an area under the curve (AUC) of 6 every 21 days. Neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, and grade 3 respiratory insufficiency limited further dose escalation of CI-994. Pharmacokinetics showed that CI-994 absorption and disposition were unaffected by carboplatin and paclitaxel coadministration. Association between histone H3 acetylation levels and disease response was suggested. A subset of patients with lymphocyte H3 acetylation levels at least 1.5-fold times baseline all achieved either a clinical response or stable disease. All evaluable patients with progressive disease (PD) had H3 acetylation levels <1.5-fold times baseline. Twenty-four of the 30 patients received greater than one cycle of treatment. Five of these patients achieved a partial response (3 nonsmall cell lung cancer, 1 colorectal cancer, and 1 unknown primary) and 2 patients achieved a complete response (esophageal and bladder cancer). The combination of CI-994 at a dose of 4 mg/m2 administered orally for 7 consecutive days can be safely coadministered with paclitaxel at a dose of 225 mg/m2 and carboplatin at an AUC of 6 on day 1 of a 21-day cycle. Evidence of antitumor activity is suggested and may correlate with histone modulation.Cancer Investigation 01/2004; 22(6):886-96. · 2.24 Impact Factor - [show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This phase I trial sought to evaluate the toxicity of and determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) for the two-drug regimen doxorubicin and gemcitabine (AG) followed by the three-drug regimen of ifosfamide, paclitaxel, and cisplatin (ITP) in patients with unresectable or metastatic transitional-cell carcinoma. Patients received AG every other week for six cycles followed by ITP every 3 weeks for four cycles. Five AG dose levels were investigated, up to doxorubicin 50 mg/m(2) and gemcitabine 2, 000 mg/m(2), to determine the MTD of the regimen. The dose and schedule of ITP were constant: ifosfamide 1,500 mg/m(2) (days 1 to 3); paclitaxel 200 mg/m(2) (day 1); and cisplatin 70 mg/m(2) (day 1). Granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was given between all cycles of therapy. Fifteen patients enrolled onto this phase I trial. AG was well tolerated at all dose levels, with no grade 3 or 4 myelosuppression. Toxicity experienced with ITP included grade 3 and 4 granulocytopenia in four patients and grade 3 nausea/vomiting in three patients. No grade 3 and 4 neurotoxicity was observed. Eight of 14 assessable patients experienced a major response to AG, including five of six patients treated at the two highest AG dose levels. After completion of AG-ITP, nine of 14 assessable patients had a major response (three complete responses and six partial responses). AG is a well-tolerated and active regimen. Sequential chemotherapy with AG-ITP is also well tolerated, and phase II investigation at the highest dose level is ongoing.Journal of Clinical Oncology 03/2000; 18(4):840-6. · 18.04 Impact Factor

Less than 30 minutes earlier, Cam Owens and his fellow bleached-blond Wilmington High teammates, celebrating their 4-0 win over Franklin for the Division 2 state hockey title, had tossed their sticks into the air before hitting the TD Garden ice for a giant dog pile.
Now the 21-3-2 Wildcats, shed of their sweat-drenched uniforms in favor of dress shirts, were more than happy to chat about repeating as state champs.
Shifty, creative, and quick on the ice, Owens is a bit humble when he unlaces his skates, and never more than on Sunday afternoon.
Yet the dynamic 5-foot-7, 175-pound senior captain, who will depart Wilmington as the program's all-time leading career scorer (72 goals, 86 assists) with a pair of state championships in his pocket, deserved to take a bow.
Wilmington was on top, 1-0, entering the third period Sunday when Owens simply took over.
In the first few minutes, he zipped around the ice, poke-checking every Franklin skater who had the puck. When he corraled it, he drew multiple defenders and slipped through a seemingly closed door, and fired shots on net. Twice, he just missed converting.
At 4:26, with Wilmington on the power play, Owens collected an outlet from Dylan DiNitale, made another nifty move through defenders, and fired a perfect pass to junior Brendan McDonough that left the big winger so wide open that Franklin goalie Devon Maloof had hardly turned his head before the puck hit the back of the net.
"He just tossed me some pretty nice sauce and it just landed right on my tape, and I had a point-blank shot and put it in the net," said McDonough. "It's good knowing he's on your line."
Five minutes later, in another eye-popping move, Owens worked himself free and fired a hard one-timer that led to a juicy rebound, which eventually found the stick of senior Jake Rogers before he stuffed it past Maloof for a convincing 3-0 cushion.
"He's quick, he's very shifty, like the defense thinks they have him point blank to put a big body check on him and he just finds his way by him," said McDonough.
Steve Scanlon, wrapping up his 23d season behind the Wilmington bench, said Owens "has a sixth sense about where that puck is going.
"He makes the right moves or goes to the right place at the right times," added Scanlon, who also coached Owens's three older brothers at Wilmington. "Unteachable, absolutely. This kid can just create a goal out of nothing. He's very talented; he's got a gift."
For Owens, it's not about how good he is, but rather how good everyone around him has made him. It has always been that way, and it started with his older brothers.
The eldest, Chuck Vallas, graduated from Wilmington High in 1998, when Cam was just 4. Justin Vallas graduated the following year, but not before setting the scoring record at Wilmington with 135 career points. Andy Owens graduated in 2011.
"I kind of knew my path, I knew I was going to go to Wilmington High School, and playing with them when I was younger helped me elevate my skill level and get quicker than most kids," Owens said of his siblings. "They were all good hockey players. That helps me out in the future, and now I'm here."
As the program's career scoring leader, Owens cemented his legacy as "one of the most influential players in our program," said Scanlon.
First, though, he had to prove that he belonged. During the start of his freshman campaign, he had not cracked the varsity, instead skating circles around JV defenders. However, when his brother Andy was out of the lineup for an extended amount of time (mononucleosis), Owens was called up and served notice, scoring 14 goals in 15 games.
Scanlon said he knew he had a special player.
"I knew I had the talent to play at the varsity level, but that year they had a ridiculous amount of talent — every kid could play," said Owens.
"I knew I probably wouldn't get a shot unless something happened, and then it happened to be my brother. . . I put a couple pucks home. From there, I just elevated my game and kept working hard."
Scanlon added, "He's electrifying, a little bit of a different player. He gives you the X-factor in a game. He can turn a game on its head. . . We're going to miss him."
Owens, though, deflects the praise to his linemates, McDonough and Rogers.
"My game is making the people around me better," he said. "I'm shorter; I move the puck well. That's what I try to work on. I've got two big wings that can skate and can shoot so I try to give them opportunities. I try to make them better."
In doing so, he leaves as a champion.Continued...

HTC Upcoming Windows Phones Have More Larger Display
It seems that HTC is now looking forward to introduce some phablet like devices as the news came from the official side that they are planning to launch much larger display Windows 8 phone soon. Though its not claimed by the manufacturer that it would be a phablet but one can call it so just because of larger display and faster processing unit.
The upcoming devices will have at least 4.5" display size (slightly larger than its recent HTC 8X and HTC 8S phones ) which would vary up to 4.7", the HTC Zenith. In addition with the larger display unit, the device is expected to come with quad-core processor thus would give much faster response in loading firmware.
According to the President of HTC China said that the new HTC devices will have exclusive colors assigned for particular carriers. But didn't mentioned about the launch date and price.

Everyone has heard of the Bible, many have read it, and some are familiar with most of the major characters and events. But I'm convinced that most people - even many Christians - don't know how we're supposed to read the Bible, what we're supposed to get out of it.
Let me give you an example. Everybody knows about David and Goliath. Goliath, a human tank fighting in the Philistine army, was offering to go one-on-one with any soldier in the army of Israel. No one accepted the challenge - not wanting to end up as the squishy stuff between the giant's toes! Along comes David. Though too young to be a soldier, he offers to fight Goliath. With nothing more than his slingshot and trust in God, he topples the towering monster, bringing victory to the army of Israel.
Okay, it's a great story. But what does it do for us? Well, some would say that the "moral of the story" is that, if we trust God like David did, we can do amazing things, even slaying the "Goliaths" in our lives. True enough, I suppose, but not good enough. For the day will come when a "Goliath" too big for us will come our way - cancer, death of a loved one, etc. Besides, if we're honest, aren't we much more like the knees-knocking, shaking-in-their-sandals soldiers of Israel? It's fine to tell us that we should be like David, but the reality is that we usually fall far short of his trust and courage.
But here's how you're supposed to read the story. Instead of looking at David as an example of what we're supposed to do, see him as a preview of what Jesus would do for us. Jesus also, by Himself, defeated a Goliath. On the cross, He won forgiveness, life and the promise of heaven for us. He rose again in triumph, announcing that the "Goliath" of sin, death, and hell was defeated once and for all. We, who could only stand on the sidelines and watch, can now shout for joy in the victory He won for us.
See the difference? So, you basically have two choices. You can face life on your own, do the best you can, fight your own battles, and wonder if you've done enough to stand before God without fear. Or, you can trust the One who came to fight for you, to win the battle you couldn't possibly win, the One who loved you enough to die for your sins, the One who invites you to trust in Him for this life and for the life to come. May you find your peace and hope in the victory He won for you.
