Are you are tired of brittle or chipped nails? Do you want to have perfect finger tips for that special occasion? Then artificial nails could be the answer for you.
Acrylic Nails
Acrylic is the toughest artificial nail covering. It is constructed either on top of the natural nail or as a strengthener to nail extensions, using a combination of powdered acrylic (polymer) and a liquid (monomer.) The nail technician dips a brush into the liquid, then the powder. The mixture must be worked quickly because it will dry as soon as the polymer and monomer mix. If you are not experienced in doing this your acrylic nails will look lumpy and exceptionally false. Acrylics are not suited to a natural look; they require varnish. Removal of acrylic nails is time-consuming; it requires that you soak your nails in acetone. Attempting to pull them off can be painful and damaging to the nail bed.
Gel Nails
The gel nail is a ready- mixed system that is painted on. Two types are available; one requires a UV light to set it, the other does not require light curing. Gel nails are set with an activator spray and are far more natural looking than acrylics. They can look good without polish, although the system is difficult to remove completely without extensive filing.
Wrap Nails
Wrap nails are made of fiberglass, silk or linen. A section of the wrap is cut to size and placed on the nail (natural or extension), then activation is required to make the material adhere to the nail and subsequently harden; this would be in the form of a paint-on or spray chemical. This is a far kinder system than either the acrylic or the gel because removal is much easier and it doesn't come with the overpowering odor associated with other systems. In turn though it is a less durable artificial nail, and not for those who are clumsy or have a busy lifestyle. To remove soak in acetone for a short while, the wrap and underlying artificial nail tip dissolve quickly.
Fake nails can become addictive and in turn a regular expense. You will need to have what are known as fill-ins when the natural nail grows up. A gap will appear at the cuticle end; this will need to be filled with whatever system of artificial covering you initially chose (systems are not interchangeable.) Nail biters will notice a rapid growth of the underlying nail in the first few weeks after your fake nails are applied, therefore you may need to visit the nail salon more frequently to begin with.
Leaving fake nails without regular attention can cause health problems for your nails. Water can seep in between the natural nail bed and the covering causing a green fungal infection to begin. This is unsightly and in extreme cases painful. If
infection occurs, you will need to have the nails removed and start afresh with new extensions after the fungus is treated.
Pros and Cons of Fake Nails
The main advantage of fake nails is that you instantly have beautiful hands. Robustness is another factor to consider, so acrylic is the most hard-wearing type of fake nail. Nail color will last longer on artificial nails than it does on natural ones, so less chipping will occur.
Points against fake nails are: your underlying natural nails will be weakened by the extensive filing that has to take place in order for the artificial tip to adhere. This in turn could cause long-term damage to the nail bed. Also, the simplest of tasks such as picking things up from counters and floors can be difficult because the nail tip is thicker. Fastening zippers, etc. can also be hard work if you are not used to extended finger nails.

The Titans have parted ways with Chuck Cecil, their defensive coordinator the past two seasons, after ranking 26th in the league in yards allowed per game last year. PFW's Titans correspondent and Tennessean reporter Jim Wyatt first reported the news.
Prior to becoming the coordinator, Cecil was a defensive coach for the Titans from 2001-08, coaching primarily the secondary. That followed a seven-year career as a safety, mostly with the Packers.
Neither Cecil nor Titans head coach Jeff Fisher made any comment on the dismissal.
The way we see it
This move comes as a bit of a surprise given how long Cecil had been with the organization, but the defense has taken a step back the past few seasons since the departure of Albert Haynesworth. One candidate to fill the position is Dave McGinnis, the Titans' LB coach last season, who previously had been a defensive coordinator and head coach of the Cardinals.

Melius made a successful emergency landing in a snow-covered field south of Jamestown last Tuesday and walked away unscathed. He says that the plane was damage but is not beyond repair and he plans to fly again.

Indians pick up Carroll's option
The AP is reporting today that the Indians picked up Jamey Carroll's $2.5 million option for next year. I checked cleveland.com and there wasn't anything more about it yet. Earlier in the week Hoynes reported that the Indians were working on a multi-year contract with him, so I'm not sure if this move indicates those talks have stalled or if this is just a preliminary move. As we've talked about, he's a good guy to have around as a utility infielder but I hope they're not planning on him playing a significant amount of time at third base.

While mosquito bites used to be little more than annoying and itchy bumps on your arm or behind your ear, now we have even more reason to avoid them with things like West Nile virusand Triple E (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) making headlines.
How to avoid it. Your attack against a mosquito bite is three-pronged, according to the CDC's web site: "Use insect repellent, particularly those with DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus; wear as much clothing as the warm weather will allow; and avoid the outdoors during dusk and dawn -- peak biting times."
Warning signs. Mosquito bites will appear as red, raised bumps on your skin. Worse, they'll itch.
What to do. Mosquito bites usually go away in less than a week, according to the web site of the University of Maryland Medical Center. In the meantime, you can wash the area and keep it clean, use an ice pack or a cool compress to alleviate itching, take an antihistamine, or use an anti-itching cream, such as calamine lotion.
Nearly 80% of people infected with West Nile virus will not have any symptoms. If you start to experience symptoms like fever, headache, body aches, nausea, vomiting, and sometimes swollen lymph glands or a skin rash on the chest, stomach, and back, according to the CDC's web site, see your doctor. There's a chance these could be symptoms of West Nile virus.

Winning the Labor Union Fight Against Wal-Mart
by zarkon65, Sun Jun 11, 2006 at 07:51:56 PM EDT
It seems to me that there is a fairly straightforward (but not necessarily simple) strategy for unionizing Wal-Mart. As you probably know, Wal-Mart is so anti union that when the butchers organized a union, they eliminated their butchers. When a Wal-Mart in Quebec unionized, they closed the store.
Why can't a union develop a relationship with a unionized department store (or store that is willing to be unionized)? This company could promise to develop a new store if Wal-Mart closes its store in the local market. And the new company could promise to hire all of the current Wal-Mart employees for their new store, with the union covering any interim wages. In fact, one could imagine the union taking out a lease on some large building close to the current Wal-Mart that could serve as a temporary replacement store for the community. This way, Wal-Mart faces a difficult choice. It can allow its store to be unionized, or it can close, and lose the market to a competitor.
This may sound like it would cost a lot of money, but remember, Wal-Mart employees don't make a lot of money, and the turnover is very high. As people got new jobs, they'd be cut from the rolls. And jobs at the new company would almost certainly pay more than their previous jobs.
This strategy would probably work best in rural markets where Wal-Mart has basically cornered the market. In this case, there would be continuing demand that would guarantee a good business for whatever company was ready to respond to it.
Maybe there's a reason why this wouldn't work? What do you think?

Well, I've been at home, and haven't posted for 3 days, which is unusual. I just haven't felt motivated :P
Anyway, on clothes:
Well, first, what kind of clothes do you wear, and why?
Recently, I've started liking darker and darker clothes, like blacks and greys, and I've thought of expanding on that.
Mainly for 3 reasons.
1, because I think it looks amazing.
2, kinda just to make fun of goths, hipsters, and douchers.
3, because I'm the Whitest Kid U Know, and swimming has made my hair get lighter and lighter until some peeps have said it looks almost white.
Ugh, I got tighter braces today. I try not to complain about it, because it'd be like a girl, complaining incessantly about her period every month from age 10 to 45. This is just regular pain every 6 weeks, for only as long as it takes for either the orthodontist to tire of taking my parents money, or when I turn 18 and tell him to stop.
I mean, I think braces are hot and all, but I really don't care.
If you give me a phrase in any language, I PROMISE YOU I will be able to.... tell you what language it is.
With no help. I swear.
I think it was last week on 60 minutes, they had this thing on kids during the recession. And they had a bunch of like 10 year old kids at a school that they were talking to, and when they asked like more than half of them raised their hand to going to bed hungry in the past week.
And they profiled other things, which was sad.
Do any of you care when people say "That's so gay"?
Because, I don't. At all.
It's kinda like in this video, another cool one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv__-6OPJqo&feature=related&safe_search=o...
Yeah, people could possibly take offense to it, but I don't think they should. Because the people who made it obviously aren't actually racist.
If people who don't really hate gay people call things gay just from habit, I don't care about it.
It needs no introduction, nor any explanation. It's just amazing.
Make sure you watch all of it though. Otherwise you won't understand the sophistication of the whole thing.
So, after what is admittedly a very inadequate education in German, still like 6 months into German 1, I've started thinking about things it does better and worse than English.
Ideally, I think languages should be as uncomplicated as possible, so that communication is never impeded, but they didn't evolve perfectly, and that's never going to change just because it makes more sense.
So, I've thought of things about German I both like and dislike. I'll start with what I dislike.
3 things I dislike about German:
There was once a time in elementary school, we were in either kindergarten or 1st grade, I'm not sure. But we had 5th grade buddies, and we had them for a while. I don't remember the name of my "buddy", except that he had red hair. GINGER!
Anyway, I still remember when we were having like our last day of 5th grade buddies and the teachers were all saying "one day, all of you (my class) will all be in their shoes, and you'll be the 5th graders"
And I remember thinking at that moment "Wow, that's like, forever. That's going to be a LONG TIME"
So, I'm sorry for posting depressing stuff.
I'm feeling better today, partially. Part of it was that AHMAZING House last night. I loved that creepy little musical "get happy".
Still feeling, pretty damn crappy though.
But, sometimes I've wondered what it would be like to feel real emotions.
Have I felt REAL happiness? Well, almost every day, I am totally happy, without worry whatever. Has there ever been just one day that was totally amazing in every regard, and where at the end I've just been left without care of any kind? I don't think so.
I wish I could tell and stop myself when I was wallowing... Because I really don't want to, that's just dickish, but I can't help myself right now.
Well, first, I have general malaise, from just mood shifts through the months, and being in a trough right now.
Which, ruins my work ethic, which in turn makes me more hateful of myself, which in turn makes me want to work even less.
So, there's that vicious circle. But that's been going on for a while.
So, I was posting about my day, and then about the title general politics stuff, but then, my brother walked into my room.
I don't know why so often there are movies I love and movies I despise with a passion.
But, prompted by the Horror Movies forum, I found Hard Candy on On Demand and watched it today.
And I despised it with a passion.
If you're really planning on watching it, and don't want it to be spoiled, then don't read this, but I have to mention it to get to my point, and really, if I'd told my past self the plot and then not to watch it, I would've thanked myself anyway.
I don't remember what I was doing... I've searched back through my earliest PM's (by the way, I didn't realize I had 187 pages of 10 PM's each, which means approaching 2000 PM's. Wow, didn't know I'd ever used this site that often).
Well, and I realize that I would fit into one of the general 4 categories of people I tend not to like: Hipsters, Douchers, Tense People, and Drama Whores.
(Hipsters and Douchers are in many ways similar but are by no means the same)
Well, first, my unweighted class rank is like 47 out of 550 as of now, and weighted with my other classes I expect it to be higher, not much, but a little.
And I don't even like school that much, nor do I try hard. Yet, I am still way better at school apparently than I am at swimming which I try my very hardest at everyday, and work my frickin butt off, and care about for my life. I'm in most events ranked at about 20% in Washington, and yet in academics which I don't care about and don't have much passion for, and don't try in, I get about 8%.
I think I know why I have been so tired recently. Ever since I posted about accidentally drinking caffeinated tea before bed, I've *ahem* warmed up to it, and started doing it every night, because it made it easier to do homework.
And I was having issues getting to sleep for like the 1st hour, when after that I'd sleep like the dead, after the caffeine wore off, but I thought that was okay, because as long as you're lying down and being quiet and closing your eyes, you're getting rest, not as good as sleep, but rest.

TV Celebrities "Craft Off" on Habitat for Humanity Work Site
The Craft V. Construction Wars To Take Place May 3-5 On "The Rosie O'Donnell Show"
New York, N.Y. - April 30, 1999 - Heat up the glue guns and start drilling… the craft vs. construction competition begins Monday, May 3 on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show." On Monday (5/3), Tuesday (5/4) and Wednesday (5/5) only on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show," Rosie teams up with Martha Stewart against Sally Jessy Raphael and "This Old House's" Norm Abram to decide who's the craftiest one of all. Rosie and Martha will decorate the inside of a Habitat for Humanity home and Sally and Norm will help build the exterior.
The debate began March 24 on "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" when Sally told Rosie, who loves arts and crafts, that decoupage and Martha Stewart "left her cold." Sally noted she preferred "building chimneys" and "laying floors."
Rosie called Sally's comments "fighting words" and challenged her to a craft off, the results of which will be aired next week when they work on a Habitat for Humanity home in Paterson, New Jersey.
Shelly McQueen is purchasing the house that Rosie, Sally, Martha and Norm are finishing. Habitat for Humanity does not give away homes; they sell them at no interest and no profit to partner families who must fulfill a "sweat equity" obligation consisting of working hundreds of hours building and constructing their homes and the homes of others. Shelly has been working on the construction of her home and appears in the "Rosie" taped pieces with her daughters Khadijah and Yasmeen and granddaughter Dominque.
"The Rosie O'Donnell Show," a Kid Ro Production in association with Telepictures Productions, is distributed by Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organization dedicated to eliminating poverty housing worldwide. Habitat brings together people with resources and people in need to build simple, decent, affordable houses. The homes are sold to those in need at no profit, through no-interest loans. Founded in 1976 by Millard Fuller along with his wife Linda, Habitat for Humanity has built more than 70,000 houses, providing shelter for more than 350,000 people worldwide. With affiliates in every state of the United States and in 62 other countries around the world, Habitat for Humanity expects to build its 100,000th home in September, 2000.

The Limited Edition: Mass Appeal box (pictured) contains a selection of winners from the mass market; while the Limited Edition: Prestige Headliners features product winners from the prestige category.
The Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors' seventh annual CITY (Cosmetic Innovator of The Year) Awards took place June 20 at the Manhattan Penthouse in New York City.
Fourteen winners were selected by a panel of industry experts who cast their votes based on innovative products, packaging, and advertising/marketing concepts from 2011.
The finalists for the Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors' seventh annual CITY (Cosmetic Innovator of The Year) Awards were announced last week.
Unlike the Oscars most years, there isn't a clear favorite for one CITY nominee to win really big with something—such as five of the prestigious awards.
Nevertheless, please get your ballots out, ladies and gents ...
Here's who could be winning CITYs—usually, one per category—during the dinner ceremony June 20 at the Manhattan Penthouse in New York City along with my picks (not that I have a say in any of this).

An Old Swedish Custom
Place a Swedish Pepparkakor in the Palm of your hand. Then, make a wish. Using the index finger of your free hand, tap the cookie in the middle. Swedish tradition states that if the Pepparkakor breaks into three peices, your wish will come true. If the Pepparkakor does not break into three pieces, you'll just have to savor the cookie in smaller portions.
Eating Pepparkakor can make you a nicer person.
As early as the 19th century, it was already common knowledge in Sweden that eating Pepparkakor makes you a nicer person. Exactly why this is so is not known. Gastronomes (Lovers of Fine Foods) surmise that it has to do with the natural spices and fiber in the cookie, which aid in the digestive process by reducing the acid in the stomach. Others, less scientific but perhaps as credible, suggest that keeping a person's mouth occupied by savoring the taste of Pepparkakor leaves little room for idle conversation and adds to the peace and quiet Swedes are known to cherish. This certainly would seem to make some people nicer to be around.
It's anybody's guess. However, regardless of the reason, you'll feel better, and people who feel better are nicer people. We hope you enjoy the cookie as much as we enjoy your company.

Women's Basketball Opens BIG EAST Play Against Providence on Saturday
Jan. 4, 2008
The Marquette women's basketball team will open its third season of BIG EAST play Saturday, Jan. 5 against Providence at 1 p.m., at the Al McGuire Center.
The game will be broadcast live regionally on BIG?EAST TV?as the BIG EAST Game of the Week, also airing on Time Warner Cable Ch. 32, with Beth Mowins and Brooke Weisbrod calling all the action.
"The passion and the intensity all rise during BIG EAST play," said head coach Terri Mitchell. "We have learned so many lessons during the non-conference season, and now have to take all of that learning into the BIG EAST, one of the most powerful conferences in the nation. Our players are so ready to show what they have learned and how ready they are for conference play to begin."
The Golden Eagles (8-5, 0-0 BIG EAST) are coming off a 78-74 win over Western Michigan in MU's final non-conference game of the season.
Junior Krystal Ellis leads the Golden Eagles with 20.8 points per game, an average that stands second in the BIG EAST. She scored an Al McGuire Center record and season-high 32 points against Western Michigan. It was her third time of the season to score 30 or more points.
The Golden Eagles are 7-4 overall in conference openers under head coach Terri Mitchell, and 7-2 in home conference openers. Marquette has won its last four conference lid-lifters. In its last two BIG EAST openers, Marquette defeated West Virginia, 74-50 on Dec. 6, 2007, and St. John's, 60-57, on Dec. 6, 2006.
Marquette is 21-11 in two seasons of BIG EAST play. The Golden Eagles shared second place with Rutgers for the 2006-07 season with a 12-4 league mark.
The Friars (10-3, 0-0 BIG EAST), also playing in their first league game of the season, are riding a two-game win streak. They closed out their non-conference tilt with home wins over New Hampshire (73-41) and Massachusetts (59-56).
Kendria Holmes leads a trio of PC players in double figures with 11.7 ppg. Mi-Khida Hankins follows with 10.8 ppg and Shantee Darrian has added 10.2 ppg as well as a team-high 8.8 rebounds per game.
"Providence is an excellent team that got better through its non-conference schedule. There are no easy games in this conference, and we know that upfront," said Mitchell.
Providence is without the services of 2007 All-BIG EAST Second Team selection Chelsea Marandola who is out for the 2007-08 season with an injury.
The Friars were selected to finish 15th in the BIG EAST Preseason Coaches' Poll.

[Introduction to DOGOOD PAPERS, NO XII . The best of the young apprentice's anonymous contributions are the Dogood Papers. Stimulated by the cynical comment he heard in his brother's print shop, Franklin painted a picture of contemporary Boston as seen through the eyes of a strong-willed and forthright widow. His brother's companions called themselves 'the Honest Wags' (to Increase Mather they were Boston's 'Hell-Fire Club'), and they were in the habit of publishing their opinions under various noms-de-plumeTabitha Talkative, Ichabod Henroost, Fanny Mournfulto protect themselves from Harvard and the Puritan Establishment. Both were apt to suppress any sustained or savage criticism, which, as they saw it, would be destructive of good order and regular church-going. In fact, James Franklin was jailed for three weeks in 1722; and in January 1723 he was banned from publishing, and replaced at the Courant by Benjamin. In 1726 the Courant folded altogether.

From Monday 3 September to Monday 10 September, 1722
Quod est in corde sobrii, est in ore ebrii.
To the Author of the New-England Courant.
It is no unprofitable though unpleasant pursuit, diligently to inspect and consider the manners and conversation of men, who, insensible of the greatest enjoyments of human life, abandon themselves to vice from a false notion of pleasure and good fellowship. A true and natural representation of any enormity, is often the best argument against it and means of removing it, when the most severe reprehensions alone, are found ineffectual.
I would in this letter improve the little observation I have made on the vice of drunkeness, the better to reclaim the good fellows who usually pay the devotions of the evening to Bacchus.
I doubt not but moderate drinking has been improved for the diffusion of knowledge among the ingenious part of mankind, who want the talent of a ready utterance, in order to discover the conceptions of their minds in an entertaining and intelligible manner. 'Tis true, drinking does not improve our faculties, but it enables us to use them; and therefore I conclude, that much study and experience, and a little liquor, are of absolute necessity for some tempers, in order to make them accomplished orators. Dic. Ponder discovers an excellent judgment when he is inspired with a glass or two of Claret, but he passes for a fool among those of small observation, who never saw him the better for drink. And here it will not be improper to observe, that the moderate use of liquor, and a well placed and well regulated anger, often produce this same effect; and some who cannot ordinarily talk but in broken sentences and false grammar, do in the heat of passion express themselves with as much eloquence as warmth. Hence it is that my own sex are generally the most eloquent, because the most passionate. 'It has been said in the praise of some men' (says an ingenious author), 'that they could talk whole hours together upon anything; but it must be owned to the honour of the other sex, that there are many among them who can talk whole hours together upon nothing. I have known a woman branch out into a long extempore dissertation on the edging of a petticoat, and chide her servant for breaking a china cup, in all the figures of rhetorick.'
But after all it must be considered, that no pleasure can give satisfaction or prove advantageous to a reasonable mind, which is not attended with the restraints of reason. Enjoyment is not to be found by excess in any sensual gratification; but on the contrary, the immoderate cravings of the voluptuary are always succeeded with loathing and a palled apetite. What pleasure can the drunkard have in the reflection, that, while in his cups, he retained only the shape of a man, and acted the part of a beast; or that from reasonable discourse a few minutes before, he descended to impertinence and nonsense?
I cannot pretend to account for the different effects of liquor on persons of different dispositions, who are guilty of excess in the use of it. 'Tis strange to see men of a regular conversation become rakish and profane when intoxicated with drink, and yet more surprising to observe, that some who appear to be the most profligate wretches when sober, become mighty religious in their cups, and will then, and at no other time address their Maker, but when they are destitute of reason, and actually affronting him. Some shrink in the wetting, and others swell to such an unusual bulk in their imaginations, that they can in an instant understand all arts and sciences, by the liberal education of a little vivyfying punch, or a sufficient quantity of other exhilerating liquor.
And as the effects of liquor are various, so are the characters given to its devourers. It argues some shame in the drunkards themselves, in that they have invented numberless words and phrases to cover their folly, whose proper significations are harmless, or have no signification at all. They are seldom known to be drunk, though they are very often boozey, cogey, tipsey, foxed, merry, mellow, fuddled, groatable, confoundedly cut, see two moons, are among the Philistines, in a very good humour, see the sun, or, the sun has shone upon them; they clip the King's English, are almost froze, feavourish, in their altitudes, pretty well entered, etc. In short, every day produces some new word or phrase which might be added to the vocabulary of the tiplers: But I have chose to mention these few, because if at any time a man of sobriety and temperance happens to cut himself confoundedly, or is almost froze, or feavourish, or accidentally sees the sun, etc. he may escape the imputation of being drunk, when his misfortune comes to be related.
I am SIR, Your Humble Servant,
[And Bens related experience in England]
At my first admission into this printing house, I took to working at press, imagining I felt a want of the bodily exercise I had been used to in America, where presswork is mixed with composing, I drank only water; the other workmen, near fifty in number, were great guzzlers of beer. On occasion I carried up and downstairs a large form of types in each hand, when others carried but one in both hands. They wondered to see from this and several instances that the water-American as they called me was stronger than themselves who drank strong beer. We had an alehouse boy who attended always in the house to supply the workmen. My companion at the press, drank every day a pint before breakfast, a pint at breakfast with his bread and cheese; a pint between breakfast and dinner; a pint at dinner; a pint in the afternoon about six o'clock, and another when he had done his day's work. I thought it a detestable custom. But it was necessary, he supposed, to drink strong beer that he might be strong to labour. I endeavoured to convince him that the bodily strength afforded by beer could only be in proportion to the grain or flour of the barley dissolved in the water of which it was made; that there was more flour in a pennyworth of bread, and therefore if he would eat that with a pint of water, it would give him more strength than a quart of beer. He drank on however, and had 4 or 5 shillings to pay out of his wages every Saturday night for that muddling liquor; an expence I was free from. And thus these poor devils keep themselves always under.
Watts after some weeks desiring to have me in the composing room, I left the pressmen. A new Bienvenu or sum for drink; being 5 shillings, was demanded of me by the compositors. I thought it an imposition, as I had paid below. The master thought so too, and forbade my paying it. I stood out two or three weeks, was accordingly considered as an excommunicate, and had so many little pieces of private mischief done me, by mixing my sorts, transposing my pages, breaking my matter, etc. etc. and if I were ever so little out of the room, and all ascribed to the Chapel ghost, which they said ever haunted those not regularly admitted, that notwithstanding the master's protection, I found myself obliged to comply and pay the money; convinced of the folly of being on ill terms with those one is to live with continually. I was now on a fair footing with them, and soon acquired considerable influence. I proposed some reasonable alterations in their Chapel Laws, and carried them against all opposition. From my example a great part of them, left their muddling breakfast of beer and bread and cheese, finding they could with me be supplied from a neighbouring house with a large porringer of hot water-gruel, sprinkled with pepper, crumbed with bread, and a bit of butter in it, for the price of a pint of beer, viz., 3 halfpence. This was a more comfortable as well as cheaper breakfast, and kept their heads clearer. Those who continued vetting with beer all day, were often, by not paying, out of credit at the alehouse, and used to make interest with me to get beer, their light, as they phrased it, being out. I watched the pay table on Saturday night, and collected what I stood engaged for them, having to pay sometimes near 30 shillings a week on their accounts.

You've been told to stay off the roads Thursday night, but if you have to travel, FOX28 tracked down an expert with some driving tips to keep you safe. John Rastetter from Tire Rack is an expert when it comes to winter driving. The company has a test track in South Bend where tires are put to the test in handling Michiana's most severe conditions. Rastetter took FOX28's Faran Fronczak for a test drive on Thursday.When it comes to winter driving, Rastetter says you have to think about time, speed, distance, and tire traction. Even though the road looks plowed and partially clear, what you often don't realize is that you're driving on snow and ice, and that's where the driver and tires make all the difference. If you step on the gas when turning, or making a sudden stop, your car will spin out.
Rastetter says SUV's have it the worst, "SUV's are often time the first vehicles in the ditch along the Bypass. When it comes time to break or stop or corner, SUV's don't have any tires to help it stop compared to a regular car," he says. So minding your speed, keeping a distance from cars in front of you... and always steering in the direction you want to go sums up Rastetter's winter driving lesson. Tire Rack says drivers also need to be aware of one more thing -- your tires.
Rastetter says whether you're using winter tires or all season tires, you have to check the depth of your tire treads. If there's too much wear on your tires, you could be putting yourself in some serious danger. Rastetter says, "As tires wear, they continue to only be able to offer less and less winter time traction. Which can make it very challenging in the 3rd and 4th year of driving."
Coupled with the snow is also the drop in temperature, and that brings out a drop in tire pressure. So make sure your tires have enough air before you hit the road.

The well is half full department
The Pennsylvania Health Department said last week it's received fewer than 30 complaints over the last year from people who believe natural gas drilling has affected their health.
The well is half full department
The Pennsylvania Health Department said last week it's received fewer than 30 complaints over the last year from people who believe natural gas drilling has affected their health.
But it's not clear how many cases came before that. As of last June, the state said it had already received several dozen, the Associated Press reported.
The information came in response to a Right-to-Know request from the AP, but the agency has refused to provide details of the complaints, such as where and when they originated. As an added bonus: The state's public health agency also said it has no manuals or guidelines for how its staff should respond to health complaints about gas drilling.
But when it comes to the alleged freshness of fried eggs served up by Harrisburg diner owners, they're on that like no man's business.

A dust-up over a Doylestown campaign sign
Police in Doylestown are investigating an allegation that the brother of state Rep. Marguerite Quinn, R-Bucks, swiped a campaign sign that criticized her and supported her Democratic opponent, according to published reports.
Sean Corr, an assistant county solicitor and lawyer for the firm of Eastburn & Gray, took the sign as "evidence" and threatened to sue, a local Democratic committeewoman told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The sign criticized Quinn's support for Pennsylvania's new natural gas drilling law and backed her opponent, Joe Frederick. The 4-foot sign read: "Marguerite Quinn Fracked You. Vote for Joe Frederick."
Quinn and Frederick ran unopposed in Tuesday's primary. They'll face each other in the fall as Quinn seeks a fourth term in the House.

Bethlehem mayor pushes Obama student loan message
He's not running for Congress this year, but Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan was in full campaign mode Thursday at President Barack Obama's re-election campaign office in Allentown.
Callahan and three local college students headlined a news conference to rally support for the president's appeal to Congress to prevent student loan interest rates from doubling this summer.
It's part of the Obama campaign's strategy to appeal to young voters, who were a key constituency in 2008.
Muhlenberg College senior Chris Lysenko, a volunteer with the Obama campaign, said he's not looking forward to having to pay his own loans six months after graduating this summer.
"I'm really with the president because he wants to make student loans so much more affordable," Lysenko said.
Callahan said he's facing his own college financing decisions, with a 17-year-old daughter preparing to graduate high school.
He said presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney's lukewarm support for keeping interest rates at 3.4 percent isn't convincing.
"Mitt Romney has very little credibility when it comes to making college affordable," Callahan said.
The loans, held by roughly 7 million students, are currently at a 3.4 percent interest rate but are set to increase to 6.8 percent on July 1 unless Congress votes to hold the rate steady.
The cost of doing that is about $6 million, and Republicans and Democrats are now both in favor of extending the lower rate. They're just arguing about how to pay for it.
Toomey to replace DeMint as head of GOP Steering Committee
Pat Toomey's GOP U.S. Senate colleagues have tapped him to take over as head of the Senate Republican Steering Committee, a group that shapes conservative policy making on Capitol Hill.
Toomey will replace South Carolina tea party favorite Jim DeMint.
In handing over the job, DeMint said in a statement, "Sen. Pat Toomey is a proven and trusted conservative, and I'm very glad he's taking on this new role. I've fought hard over the last few years to help elect new conservatives to the Senate, and it's very rewarding to see them step into positions of leadership."
(History note: DeMint chose to endorse Toomey over Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania's 2010 Republican primary. A few days after telling Specter this, Specter became a Democrat.)
Toomey's selection marks the confidence of his peers. While head of the Steering Committee is not an official leadership post, senators who have had the job before him have gone on to capture larger responsibilities. Among them are Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl, now ranked second in the Republican caucus, and Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the ranking Republican on the Budget Committee.
Toomey was also appointed by Republican leadership to the 12-member congressional supercommittee on debt reduction after publicly inserting himself in debates on issues of debt and the budget.
While the committee is geared to conservatives, most Senate Republicans attend the weekly lunch to talk strategy and policy. That will give Toomey tremendous influence in the fall when Congress will need to address another extension of the debt ceiling, the Bush-era tax cuts and transportation funding as well as appropriations bills to avoid a government shutdown.
Toomey officially takes over in September.

|A lifetime of poor posture and poor lifting and bending habits may stress ligaments posterior to the intervertebral disk to the point that even a minor stress precipitates a herniation and low back pain.
|The inflammation occurring in cases of ankylosing spondylitis usually starts around the sacroiliac joints i.e. the areas where the lower spine is joined to the pelvis. The pain is worse during periods of rest or inactivity, often awakening patients in the middle of the night. Symptoms typically lessen with movement and exercise. Over a period of time, pain and stiffness may progress into the upper spine and even into the chest and neck.
|Exercise that strengthens the abdominal musculature sometimes helps reduce low back pain. Further, strenuous exercise involving significant movement of the lower back has resulted in pain reduction/elimination.
|Back pain is an early sign of bone loss.
|Pain in the lower back, buttocks or thighs is common, and is often the earliest symptom.
|A copper deficiency has been associated with weakening of connective tissue, which in turn can contribute to the development of slipped or herniated discs.
|Mural fibroids (located in the uterine wall) and subserous fibroids (protrude outside the uterine wall) may reach a large size before causing symptoms. These symptoms may include pressure on the bladder with difficulty voiding or urinary frequency and urgency, pressure on the rectum with constipation, lower back pain and abdominal pain, as well as heavy bleeding.

The pain is worse during periods of rest or inactivity, often awakening patients in the middle of the night. Symptoms typically lessen with movement and exercise. Over a period of time, pain and stiffness may progress into the upper spine and even into the chest and neck.
|Pain in the lower back, buttocks or thighs is common, and is often the earliest symptom.
|John E. Sarno, MD, has successfully educated a high number of chronic low back pain sufferers by teaching them how psychological issues can be converted into back pain. The pain is then eliminated or controlled by a new awareness of the real reason behind the pain. When no structural or organic cause is detected, his success rate is 80-90%. All required information is in his book, The Mindbody Prescription.
|The brain responds to pain signals by producing and activating morphine-like hormones called endorphins. This pain relief effect lasts for about 30 hours (longer than known analgesics), and without side-effects when given frequently. It was discovered that d- and dl-Phenylalanine (DLPA), but not l-Phenylalanine, inhibit several of the enzymes responsible for endorphin destruction. DLPA appears to restore endorphin levels to a normal range, while simultaneously producing a reduction in pain. It often equals or exceeds morphine or other opiate derivatives in its effect and is non-addictive. Start with 500mg qd and work up to 3-4gm qd. This is a precursor for epinephrine and phenylethylamine (PEA). PEA has amphetamine-like stimulant properties. Chocolate contains high levels of PEA.
|Boswellin is a standardized extract from the Boswellia Serrata tree in India. It is the first herbal remedy to have documented clinical evidence that it is useful in rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, low back pain, soft tissue rheumatism and myosistis symptoms.
|Chlorella or other algae may reduce circulating toxins and bowel autointoxication, and consequently improve chronic lower back pain.
|Drink lots of water to maintain optimal hydration for disc integrity, and help reduce any acid buildup in muscles. Often two large glasses of water helps within minutes. Consistent rehydration may eliminate and prevent future low back pain.
|See the link between Lower Back Pain and Digestive Enzymes.
|Be careful when getting out of bed. Turn to your side, bring your knees up, and then push up as knees swing down toward the floor. Most importantly, always follow the advice "bend with your knees, not your back" – especially when lifting heavy objects. Better still, don't lift heavy objects!
There is a particular exercise that has relieved back pain that occurs after prolonged periods of sitting. The technique is: "Sit up straight. Put your feet on the floor, then raise both feet off the floor at the same time 1 inch. This lightens the abdominal muscles and is the sitting-up equivalent of the old bent knee sit-up exercises". This exercise can be done almost anywhere.
|For ACUTE lower back pain, exercise should be avoided during the recovery period. [The New Eng J of Med. Feb. 9, 1995;332(6):35 pp.1-55]
However, in cases of CHRONIC lower back pain, normal activity produces better recovery than bed rest, so you should stay mobile. The success of using exercise as a treatment of low back pain and rehabilitation is overwhelming. The tissues of the vertebral column need the stresses of exercise, even under conditions of back pain. Exercises to strengthen the back and abdominal muscles can be useful, but only after recovery from the acute phase.
|See the link between Lower Back Pain and Aerobic Exercise.
|Many have reported that the use of MSM has relieved chronic lower back pain and spasms/cramps.
|Margaret Moss, MA, found that taking oral molybdenum over a 28-day period produces a "statistically significant improvement" in patients with arthritis and other aches and pains as well as in their general health. Moss monitored
14 middle-aged people with symptoms of arthritis, low back pain, frozen shoulder, rheumatoid and osteoarthritis, as they took 400-500mcg daily (in 4-5 doses of 100mcg) of molybdenum amino acid chelate.
|Acupuncture can help in cases of chronic lower back pain.
|Yoga has consistently been used to cure and prevent back pain by enhancing strength and flexibility. Both acute and long-term stress can lead to muscle tension and exacerbate back problems. A number of components of yoga help to ease back pain. Yoga postures provide gentle stretching as well as movements that increase flexibility and help correct bad posture. Breathing exercises can affect the spine in various ways, such as movement of the ribs and changes in pressure within the chest and abdomen. Exhaling can help relax muscles; relaxation provides a physiologic antidote to stress.
|Neurostructural therapy can help remove chronic low back pain permanently.
|A warm bath with Epsom salts and/or heating pad two to three times for 20-30 minutes or longer, can help.
|Spinal adjustment can help in acute cases, but not in chronic cases unless a single adjustment proves helpful.
|Inactivity is definitely detrimental to patients with low back pain.
|Chronic lower back pain is one of the easiest conditions to treat with prolotherapy. See Pain, Pain, Go Away, by William J. Faber, DO and Morton Walker, DPM.
|Some dentists report treating chronic low back pain patients by removing infected bone in the third molar area. Chronic fatigue and arthritic pain disappear in many patients with these conditions after removing dental infections.

Grilling pizza should be a summer rite of passage for any food lover, but until last week, I'd managed to miss out. Maybe it was nerves. Maybe it was laziness. Once I tried it, though, I'm wondering why it took me so long. My pizza was not engulfed in flames, and it wasn't stuck to […]
I've always been intrigued, if a bit intimidated, by the canning process. My parents stopped canning when I was about waist-high, so while I dreamed of having a root-cellar (yes, I live in an apartment, but, hey, it's my dream) full of canned goods, I'd never actually canned anything. So when my friend (and canning […]
I grew up picking tomatoes straight from the garden and eating them like apples, warm from the sun. Since then, I've had a hard-and-fast two-tomato-a-day rule every summer. Sure, I love tomato salads, BLTs, and simple, garlicky sauce, but this summer, my favorite way to reach my daily quota is a slice of tomato galette.
Every week, my farmer delivers fresh-picked tomatoes, peaches, herbs and as many squash as I can carry. Then, there's the okra situation. For the last month, my CSA box has included a big bag okra. "I hope you're not tired of okra," my farmer says. I vaguely smile. I'm not tired of okra — I'm stumped by it.
I've always had a rocky relationship with peas. As a kid, I'd push the frozen variety around on my plate until they were cold and clammy, then eat a few and call it a day. I finally decided to give fresh peas a try — here's some recipe inspiration.
The Food Jammers crew had the same craving on a camping trip, but they weren't waiting around for that ice cream truck, either. They got to work making ice cream DIY-style — with two coffee cans and a campfire. I was inspired to make my own, sans ice cream maker.
I can't get enough of sour cherries! Growing up in Ohio, I'd spend the first half of June up in the cherry tree, reaching for every last make-you-pucker fruit. Even with my "one for the bucket, two for me" mentality, my family ended up with loads of cherries that we'd make into pies, jam, cobblers, muffins and more.

text: Last Friday, while campaigning in Nashua, New Hampshire, Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich delivered one of his patented political diatribes. Glib and superficial as always, thrilled by the sound of his own rhetoric, Speaker Gingrich repeatedly crossed the line into rank demagoguery. In what should have been a moment of nonpartisan national pride following the successful rescue of Capt. Scott O'Grady, Newt Gingrich couldn't resist the impulse to wring political advantage from the courage of others. Watching a C-SPAN broadcast of the speech, I realized that Newt Gingrich, now flirting with a run for the presidency, is fundamentally unfit to serve as Commander-in-Chief.

On a day where I didn't think NFL news could get any crazier the site rookiedraft.com are reporting that LSU defensive tackle Michael Brockers did not participate in the bench press drill. This despite his number being listed by the NFL on NFL.com.
I have it from Michael Brockers' agency that he did not even participate in the bench press drill portion of the NFL combine, meanwhile national scouting verified that Brockers opted to not lift in the event but nfl.com mistakenly posted a result of "19 reps" for the LSU Tiger.
This is the next in a long line of faux pas that have occurred along with incorrectly posted times, and reports that last year the WRs and QBs were not in sync for the throwing drills. However, it's not just Brockers' bench press numbers that are brought into question.
What is also being disputed is Brockers forty yard dash, which was posted as a 5.36 while 3 teams reportedly clocked him in the 5.08-5.19 range in the event.
One more puzzling aspect of this particular prospect's posted information is the fact that Michael Brockers has never measured in at less than 6′5″½ and he was somehow registered at a posted 6050 or 6′5″ even. Something that is certain to be dispelled at LSU's pro day on the 22nd of March.
This further disproves the notion that the NFL combine means anything. I'm not sure whether it's sheer mass of numbers, or just carelessness but whichever way you cut it the lack of control or care in timing, measuring and handling prospects in Indy is rather disgusting.
More after the jump
Tough to understand NFL-com listing Brockers with 19 bench reps for so long. Apparently its not true, unfair to the player. Too late now?— Josh Norris (@JoshNorris) March 2, 2012
Rotoworld's Norris brings up an excellent point, which is just how damaging an incorrect number can be to a prospect, especially one seen as an 'upside' type player like Brockers. Furthermore, it's a pretty damning condemnation of scouts on the field that we could have ESPN and the NFL Network covering the combine, yet neither bother to validate their numbers before pointing them out for commentary.
Finally, and most importantly it shows just how ludicrous the reliance on numbers can be vs. film. I remember last year when all the hype surrounded Nevada TE Virgil Green who put up ludicrous 40, shuttle, cone and vert numbers prompting many to upgrade his stock to a 2nd round pick- the Denver Broncos selected Green in the 7th round.
Thankfully the combine isn't the be all and end all for prospects, and Brockers will have the opportunity to dispel these negative rumors at LSU's pro day. That being said, this is the time of bad information, and misinformation so I suggest exercising caution when relying too much on the numbers. While he may not be my favorite receiver I seriously doubt any NFL team believes Kendall Wright's speed to be in the 4.6's.
Tip of the hat to John McLamb via Twitter who brought this to my attention.

Athens Drive won its third N.C. High School Athletic Association 4A championship in the past four years in 2011, but it was an uphill battle.
The Jaguars were third in the Tri-Nine 4A Conference regular season, but with an asterisk. Sarah Bae, who is No. 1 in the North Carolina girls' golf rankings, missed several regular-season matches. Even with Bae, the Jags were regional runner-up behind league rival Middle Creek.
Bae is the top-ranked player in the state, but coach Richard Alcorn said it would be tough for the Jaguars to stay on top.
"Even though we are the defending state champions, we finished third in the conference behind Green Hope and Middle Creek and second in the regional behind Middle Creek," Alcorn said. "We were hit hard by graduation. I don't see us as the favorite. We'll be competitive but we're definitely not as strong as the past few years. We'll be in the mix, but Sarah is going to need some help."
He said Green Hope and Middle Creek should be formidable again and believes Fuquay-Varina will be among the better teams.
Bae has been the North Carolina girls' junior player of the year and was third in the NCHSAA championships in 2011. She also was a big part of the Jaguars' title in 2009.
Junior Jackie Wallace also is back. Athens, which shot 481 to win the title, led a strong group of Tri-Nine teams a year ago. Middle Creek (528), Green Hope (567) and Apex (609) also qualified for the state finals.
Teams to watch
Middle Creek: The Mustangs won the 4A East Regional in 2011 and return two of their top three players, seniors Betsy Dohrer, a three-time state championship qualifier, and Britney Smith, who has qualified for the past two state finals. Katlyn West joined them in the state finals last year. Middle Creek shot a 528 in the NCHSAA 4A championships.
Green Hope: The Falcons were the Tri-Nine regular-season champions last year and return a strong nucleus with Maddie Lee, Sophie Riegel, Meghan Symonds and Maddie McClure.
Ravenscroft: The Ravens finished second in the N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association championships in 2011. Jessica Kittelberger was an all-NCISAA selection and tied for fifth in the N.C. Junior Girls' Championship.
Garner: The Ceyrolles triplets, Nicole, Lauren and Arianna, give the Trojans a lot of firepower. Nicole and Lauren are two-time all-Greater Neuse 4A selections. Nicole has played in the state tournament in the past two years and Adrianna joined her in the state event last year. The three juniors are joined by sophomore Emily O'Neal.
Wake Forest-Rolesville: Junior Amanda Levy was 17th in the NCHSAA championships as a freshman and 30th last year. Sophomore Madie Fingers qualified for the regionals last year.
Fuquay-Varina: Sophomore Catherine Ashworth, 15th in the N.C. junior rankings, was the Tri-Nine 4A Player of the Year and tied for 10th in the 4A championships with a 159.
Holly Springs: Raven Brown qualified for the state finals in 2011 and will team with all-conference pick Leigha Holt.
Apex: The Cougars return senior Cari Albritton and sophomore Maria Cassas.
Smithfield-Selma: Kate Fleming and Sarah Cooke lead the deepest squads the school has fielded. Haley Talton and Parker Watson are outstanding freshmen. Coach Richard Byrd said he has been impressed with the team's desire to improve.
Cardinal Gibbons: Sophomore Ellen Smith was the lowest freshman scorer in the state 3A tournament in 2011.
Sanderson: Jessica Perez, a state qualifier in 2011, helped the Spartans to a third-place finish in the Cap Eight 4A. Perez and sophomore Savannah Gowarty are among four returning starters.

This word has been stuck in my head for several weeks now. It's one of those things that I am chewing on and I have realized that it has a lot to do with pretty much everything.
In life, we need balance. For instance: in endurance racing, a person needs water, not too much or they wind up with a condition that is too difficult to spell at 6am. Also, not too little or they get dehydrated. And the amount can change due to external circumstances which include but are not limited to temperature, exertion, and diet.
On the bike, if one leg is pedaling faster/ stronger than the other, this creates an imbalance. If the handle bars are slightly twisted to one side, this creates an imbalance.
At work or on a sports team, if one person is not carrying their load, or not communicating, or complaining instead of working to reach a solution, this creates an imbalance.
At home, same issues, if one person in the family is not doing their part to contribute to the common good, there is an imbalance.
We must seek to be balanced.
Balanced does not always mean comfortable though. Like getting up early to exercise, or have some alone time. Seeking balance will push your limits and that is rarely comfortable, but often worth the discomfort.
Look to nature, you see balance everywhere. A constant was created and woven into everyday life that we can look around and see with our own eyes. Look at the ants, whatever you believe about the age of the earth, the ants have been collecting food every year, getting ready for the season ahead. Watch them, and learn from them.
Have a great day.

Spartanburg police said a man has been caught on camera breaking into a local FedEx, and now they're on the lookout for the intruder.
The break-in happened about 8 a.m. at the FedEx at 430 E. Main St. in Spartanburg. Spartanburg Public Safety said the man broke in through a unlocked side door, went through a utility electrical room and slipped through a hole in the wall to gain access to the business.
At that point, police said the intruder triggered an alarm. Officers were called to the scene, but they did not find the suspect.
"When the alarm went off, officers checked and they didn't see anything, didn't see any damage or evidence of a break-in," said Capt. Art Littlejohn with the Spartanburg Public Safety Department.
Police said the suspect didn't get away with any money, but they believe he cut himself trying to break into the cash register. They said blood was found in that area of the scene and the registers were damaged.
Authorities are still searching for that man. They urge anyone who may be able to help them identify the man to come forward.

Update below: Jackson Jr. officially resigns
The Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday that, according to his brother, Jesse Jackson Jr. would be resigning "momentarily" from Congress.
Though Jackson Jr. himself did not confirm his departure to the newspaper, he has undergone treatment over the past few months at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, reportedly for bipolar disorder.
The 47-year-old congressman did not wage a campaign, but easily won re-election this fall for his South Side Chicago district, a seat formerly held by President Barack Obama. Jackson Jr. has been under investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegedly raising $6 million for then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) in exchange for appointment to the seat.
Gov. Pat Quinn, a fellow Democrat, is required by Illinois law to call a special election to fill the seat should Jackson Jr. resign.
Update (2:36 p.m. Eastern): A spokesperson for House Speaker John Boehner confirmed to the Associated Press that Jackson Jr. turned in his letter of resignation.
Update (3:14 p.m.): Jackson Jr. wrote in his letter, "Over the past several months, as my health has deteriorated, my ability to serve the constituents of my district has continued to diminish. Against the recommendations of my doctors, I had hoped to return to Washington and continue working on the issues that matter most to the people of the Second District. I know now that will not be possible."
He went on to say his constituents deserve a "full-time legislator in Washington," something he cannot be in the "foreseeable future."
"During this journey, I have made my share of mistakes," Jackson Jr. wrote and promised to continue working with federal investigators. Jackson Jr.'s entire resignation letter can be read here, published by NBC Chicago.

Some financial observers attribute the Black community's economic woes to our unwillingness to financially support Black businesses. Well, back in 1921, in a Tulsa, Oklahoma, community named Black Wall Street, a dollar circulated 19 times before leaving the community. That was before a white mob destroyed the town. Given the ferocity of the attack and the complicity of Oklahoma police, one would think that by now survivors would've been compensated for what they endured, but they haven't been.

Grassley Asks ECFA to Lead Independent Inquiry
The national commission will examine churches' financial practices.
Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, has asked the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability to head an independent commission that will obtain feedback about the financial practices and oversight of churches and religious groups nationwide.
The goal is to help determine best practices and changes that encourage compliance with federal tax laws and maintain financial integrity within the religious community while avoiding new laws mandating such behavior. But those involved say it's too early to tell how the commission's work will affect any changes—or whether it can prevent new laws—and how long it will take.
In a press conference called this morning in Washington, D.C., ECFA leaders outlined requests made by Grassley, who yesterday released his final report of a three-year inquiry into the financial activities of six high-profile media ministries. The issues to be explored "could potentially affect every house of worship and every member of the clergy in America," said Michael Batts, an ECFA board member who will chair the special commission.
This blog post continues at Your Church's blog, a sister publication of Christianity Today.
Ideally, there should be a "wall of separation" between church and state. Government should not dictate matters of faith to its citizens. It is perhaps unwise also for the government to provide financial incentives to faith groups as the practice brings with it some overreaching oversight, control and coercion.
Kenneth Copeland, Eddie Long, Creflo Dollar, and Randy White and Paula White all take advantage of government financial incentives to build their empires. It is no honorable thing to bite the hand that feeds you. Give up your tax-exempt status, incorporate and act as any other business does in the country.
