- Useful tool
I am a CSI in a municipal police department. This tool has proven valuable for working with my camera, evidence collecting, and all else that's involved in getting dirty at a crime scene when you need a free hand. This product is pricey and I was fortunate to take advantage of black friday pricing. The intensity of the light is impressive and provides clean even lighting with no hotspots. It is bulky on the wrist but I've been using in every day carry.

- A possible flaw...
I watched the videos of both models and viewed the images. The USB port is open to the elements. How weather resistant is this product? Weather can be a huge factor for the wearer if it's raining or snowing. Just a thought.

- Needs a tweak
So far I am very pleased with my WristLight, with one major exception- the band. If you have a larger arm, and are wearing a long sleeve shirt, it barely fits. I have not even tried it yet with a heavy sweatshirt or jacket but I am not optimistic. I also do not like the watch band style adjustment, the stick you put thru the hole...Trying to adjust the WristLight with anything in your hands (ie. a firearm) during a critical situation could be a disaster.
I think a longer, Velcro style band would have been the ticket. And I hope that if you do come up with some type of upgrade, it will be available for people who have already purchased one.

- Love your products but what's up with the price?
This is a great product for tactical use as well as traditional SWAT/Law Enforcement use. But why is it so expensive? I mean I could make do with one of your less expensive flashlights and make my truck payment for the cost of this flashlight you wear on your wrist. Come on now,$500.00 for a wearable wrist flashlight? And your handgun lights are the same way. Very good product but is it really worth the huge amounts of cash your asking for almost all your products? I love your stuff and it is of the very best quality,but I don't think the price's match up with the product. That's just my opinion.Too bad I can't afford to buy most of your products that I'd really love to have,but not at your ridiculous prices. -Jay F

A great piece of equipment to have for any law enforcement & military personnel. Wristlight is very bright, & lights up target with i point my firearm at it. A must piece of equipment to have.

- 2211 WristLight
WristLight is great with one fatal flaw. There should be a lock or safety on the switch. It is very easily to accidentally turn the light on. Could cost you your life if it turns on at the wrong time. I would not buy this expensive product until they fix this.

- 2211 WristLight
This light is just about as handy as they come. It is an excellent addition to anyones lighting instruments. It is a little pricey but I feel worth it. A little bit more lighting intensity would have been nice but still a great product. It is a great addition also for not adding bulk to your handguns.

Great light, lots of power. The wrist belt is truly a great idea. Frees your hand for the important things, like taking aim !!! I used it last night to hook up a trickle charger on my vehicle. Every where my hand went the light was there first. Must have for the guys in law enforcement and our fighting forces. God Bless you guys !!!

- Let there be Light!
Most of us try to keep our gear in the same place at all times, for ease of access in an emergency. Even so, if you have ever fumbled around through your duty belt looking for exactly where you left your light, you will appreciate this unit. Having it on your wrist makes it super easy to find and activate on short notice. Also, you are not likely to loose it during a foot pursuit or other awkward times. I bought mine during special pricing over Thanksgiving, and it is not yet Christmas, so I cant say much about durability yet. I can say that I really like having an extra light so accessable. This is my 4th Surefire. always been happy with all of them. Excellent customer service should you ever need it. If you work night shift in Law Enforcement or other emergency service, you need this light!

Unique, solid, reliable, not inexpensive. Train tactically with this light and I think you'll be happy to have it in your quiver. It's not inexpensive, but neither are other great tools that will not fail when you need them.

Developed with input from active-duty cops, the ambidextrous SureFire 2211 WristLight straps securely to your firearm support-hand wrist and utilizes a virtually indestructible high-performance LED and specially developed optic to unleash a wide, brilliant 200-lumen beam with a press of either of two ergonomic button-type switches. In close-quarter engagements this is more than enough light to overwhelm an aggressor's dark-adapted vision and properly identify and assess threats. Pressing either switch again within one second drops the output to 15 lumens, perfect for closer work while minimizing degradation of the user's dark-adapted vision. Another press of either switch turns the light off.
Light output can also be selected in the reverse order. Pressing both switches simultaneously gives 15 lumens of output; continuing to hold both switches down cycles the output to 60 lumens of powerful general-purpose illumination, then to 200 lumens. There is a .7 second interval between output changes.
The 2211 is constructed of lightweight hard-anodized aerospace aluminum and features an adjustable nylon band that is durable and holds the light securely in place. It is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery with a built-in LED fuel gauge that lets you know when it's time to recharge—which is simply done by using the included USB cable. The 2211 was built for the streets but it's available to anyone who demands an innovative, hands-free tactical-level illumination tool that can also serve as a handgun light when used with a normal firing stance.

Breast cancer is the most common female cancer in the United States. Finding and treating breast cancer in the early stages allows many women to be cured.
Following surgery, systemic (body-wide) anticancer treatment is often recommended to eliminate any microscopic tumor cells that might remain in the body. This type of therapy is called adjuvant therapy, and it is a very important component of breast cancer treatment. Adjuvant systemic therapy significantly decreases the chance that the cancer will return (or recur), and it also improves a woman's chance of surviving her cancer.
There are three options for systemic adjuvant therapy of early breast cancer: endocrine therapy, chemotherapy, and trastuzumab (Herceptin). The choice between these treatments depends upon whether the breast cancer is hormone-responsive and whether it makes a protein called HER2.
This article will focus on adjuvant therapy for premenopausal women with hormone-responsive breast cancer. Adjuvant treatment for postmenopausal women with hormone-responsive breast cancer is discussed separately. (See "Patient information: Early stage breast cancer treatment in postmenopausal women (Beyond the Basics)".)
About 50 to 70 percent of breast cancers require the female hormone estrogen (estradiol) to grow, while other breast cancers are able to grow without estrogen. Estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells produce hormone receptors, which can be estrogen receptors (ER), progesterone receptors (PR), or both. These cancers are known as "hormone-responsive".
If your breast cancer is hormone-responsive, you are more likely to benefit from treatments that lower estrogen levels or block the actions of estrogen. These treatments are referred to as endocrine or hormone therapies.
The goal of adjuvant endocrine therapy is to prevent breast cancer cells from receiving stimulation from estrogen.
The options for endocrine therapy in premenopausal women include the following:
●The drug tamoxifen
●A drug or surgery that prevents the ovaries from making estrogen (see 'Ovarian suppression' below)
Tamoxifen — Tamoxifen (Nolvadex) prevents estrogen from stimulating growth of the breast cancer cells.
Tamoxifen has been recommended for five years, and the benefits last for at least 10 years after the drug is stopped. However, newer studies show that taking tamoxifen for more than five years does add further benefit, although the risk of side effects such as uterine cancer increases with longer treatment.
Side effects — Tamoxifen may increase the risk of the following, particularly in women over age 55 years:
●Cancer of the uterus (endometrial cancer and sarcoma)
●Blood clots within deep veins (deep vein thrombosis), usually in the legs, which can travel to the lungs (pulmonary embolism) (see "Patient information: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (Beyond the Basics)")
●Whether tamoxifen increases the risk of stroke, particularly in women under the age of 55, is controversial.
For most women, the benefits of tamoxifen in preventing a recurrence of breast cancer far outweigh the risks of uterine cancer, blood clots, or other long-term effects. However, the risks may be higher for women with risk factors for blood clots or stroke (eg, prior history of blood clots in the leg or lung, history of smoking).
Tamoxifen may cause other side effects, particularly hot flashes and vaginal discharge. Premenopausal women receiving adjuvant tamoxifen are discouraged from becoming pregnant. Tamoxifen does not cause infertility. Premenopausal women who are taking tamoxifen and are sexually active should use effective nonhormonal contraception while they are on tamoxifen and for about two months after discontinuing the therapy.
Ovarian suppression — Ovarian suppression refers to any treatment that causes the ovaries to stop making estrogen. The ovaries can be suppressed in one of several ways:
●Surgical removal of the ovaries (called oophorectomy) or radiation treatment of the ovaries, both of which permanently stop the ovaries from making hormones.
●Drugs called gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists stop the ovaries from making estrogen temporarily. The most commonly used drug in this class is goserelin (Zoladex), which is given as a monthly injection. The treatment is usually given for five years.
All forms of ovarian suppression cause a rapid onset of menopause symptoms (hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, vaginal dryness), which can be severe. Treatment for these symptoms is available. (See "Patient information: Nonhormonal treatments for menopausal symptoms (Beyond the Basics)".)
Aromatase inhibitors — A class of drugs that is used for endocrine therapy in POSTmenopausal women is the aromatase inhibitors (including anastrozole, letrozole or exemestane). In general, aromatase inhibitors are not given to PREmenopausal women.
But women who are premenopausal before treatment may become menopausal; an aromatase inhibitor may then be considered. You should discuss the indications, risks, and benefits of this option with your doctor.
Endocrine therapy is recommended for women with ER-positive breast cancer. However, it is not clear if additional treatment (chemotherapy) is also needed.
●Most doctors agree that endocrine therapy alone is adequate for premenopausal women with low-risk tumors (ie, those that are node-negative, ER/PR-positive, small (less than 1 cm) and lacking unfavorable microscopic features) [1,2].
●It is not clear if endocrine therapy alone is enough for women with higher risk ER-positive breast cancers (ie, those with involved lymph nodes, tumor size larger than 1 cm, or unfavorable microscopic features). Chemotherapy certainly provides benefit for some women with ER-positive early breast cancer.
Two tests are available that can help in deciding if chemotherapy might be helpful.
●A test called the 21-gene recurrence score assay (also called Oncotype DX™) may be useful to select those women with ER-positive, node-negative early breast cancer who stand to benefit the most from chemotherapy.
●A web-based assessment program (Adjuvant! Online, www.adjuvantonline.com) is available that can assist in estimating the relative risks and benefits of chemotherapy (as well as endocrine therapy).
Progress in treating breast cancer requires that better treatments be identified through clinical trials, which are conducted all over the world. A clinical trial is a carefully controlled way to study the effectiveness of new treatments or new combinations of known therapies. Ask for more information about clinical trials or read about clinical trials at:
A summary of the American Society of Clinical Oncology's recommendations for surveillance after breast cancer treatment is provided in the following table (table 1).
There are many options for the adjuvant therapy of breast cancer. Expert guidelines can help to guide decisions. However, because individual factors strongly influence the choice of therapy, you should discuss the options for adjuvant therapy with your doctor to determine which therapy is best for you.

How I did it: I grew my hair out so my ponytail, when secured at the base of my neck, was about a foot long. This took forever because my hair grows so slow. I braided the ponytail, had the hair dresser take some scissors and voila! I sealed the ponytail in a plastic bag (after finishing my hair appointment) and mailed it off to Locks for Love. About a month later, I got a thank you note. Read how I did it…

Two years ago, I started drawing cards for a tarot deck, without really knowing what was in it. I lost them and re-came across the idea this week. I plan to cut the cards from cardstock to 2.5" by 3.5", sketch in pencil, and ink with sharpie.
A little info:
There are 78 cards in a standard deck: 22 in the Major Arcana and 56 in the Minor Arcana.
0. The Fool
1. The Magician
2. The High Priestess
3. The Empress
4. The Emperor
5. The Hierophant
6. The Lovers
7. The Chariot
8. Strength
9. The Hermit
10. Wheel of Fortune
11. Justice
12. The Hanged Man
13. Death
14. Temperance
15. The Devil
16. The Tower
17. The Star
18. The Moon
19. The Sun
20. Judgement
21. The World
The Minor Arcana consists of fifty six cards, divided into four suits of fourteen cards each; ten numbered cards and four court cards. The court cards are the King, Queen, Knight and Jack, in each of the four tarot suits: swords, wands, pentacles, and cups.
So far, I have finished 4/78:
0. The Fool
1. The Magician
2. The High Priestess
3. The Empress
...just sit back and relapse again. School has been very stressful and I'm going through a rough patch with my boyfriend, so I've taken to biting my nails again. Not good. Hopefully I'll unwind over break and be able to stop again.

July 29
Our field has completed blooming and almost all the heads are
drooping. You can still see some ray flowers. The plants still have good
color and there aren't any noticeable drought symptoms. We haven't had
much rain since July 10th and we've had 8 days over 100 F.
This R6 plant completed blooming several days ago. The bracts aren't as green as they were last week. Let's look at the backside of the receptacle.
The receptacle and bracts aren't as green as they were. This is normal development of the heads. They will eventually turn yellow.
The cross section of this head shows continued seed development.
Let's look a little closer.
The seeds are getting larger. There appear to be flowers in the center that weren't pollinated because there aren't many seeds there. These center flowers not developing seeds could be a symptom of drought stress. We'll have to keep watching this to see if it's a widespread problem or if I just got a head that isn't that far along in its maturation.
We haven't discussed this before, but there's an optimum head size that farmers like to see. The head on the left is about 6-8 inches wide, while the other head is about 10 inches wide. Farmers like to see heads about 6-8 inches wide because it allows for quicker dry-down of the head and seed. This will allow the farmer to harvest a field quicker. Harvesting a field sooner as opposed to later reduces seed or yield losses and as farmers get paid for the total pounds of seed, it is very important they harvest everything they produce. But you're probably wondering how farmers make sure they end up with the right head size. The answer is planting rates. Higher planting rates cause the heads to be smaller, conversely lower than optimum planting rates will result in larger head sizes.

1. Who wrote the Second Letter to the Thessalonians?
1.1. Whom does 2 Thess 1:1 identify as the authors of 2 Thessalonians?
2 Thess 1:1 identifies Paul, Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy as the authors of the 2 Thessalonians.
1.2. As in 1 Thessalonians, the use of the first person plural (verb forms and pronouns) occurs frequently in 2 Thessalonians, signifying that it is a joint composition of Paul, Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy (2 Thess 1:3, 4, 11, 2:1, 13, 15; 3:1, 2, 4, 6, 10, 11, 12). Nevertheless, the first person singular occurs in 2 Thess 2:5: "Do you not remember that I told you this when I was with you?" This indicates that Paul, the first named of the three authors, is the principal author. This is confirmed by the fact that, in the conclusion of the letter, Paul writes, "The greeting is in my own hand, Paul. This is a sign of authenticity of all my letters; this is how I write" (3:17). It was Paul's practice to write his own greeting, which naturally assumes that an amanuensis wrote everything else up to that point (see also 1 Cor 16:21; Gal 6:11; Col 4:18). The difference in handwriting would be obvious to the readers. (Paul may have sought to authenticate his letter in this way because of spurious letters circulating in his name [2:2].) The implication of 2 Thess 3:17 is that Paul was the principal author of the letter, which means that Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy had ancillary roles in its composition. Who the amanuensis of the letter was is not specified, but it is possible that it was Silvanus (Silas) or Timothy. (At a later time, Silvanus [Silas] was the amanuensis of Peter [1 Pet 5:12].)
1.3. Some have questioned the Pauline authorship of 2 Thessalonians on several grounds. The more significant reasons for questioning the authenticity of the letter are as follows.
1.3.1. The eschatology of 2 Thessalonians (2 Thess 2:1-12) is alleged to be so different from that of 1 Thessalonians (4:13-5:11) that both letters could not have been written by the same person. In 2 Thess 2:3 before the parousia of Christ there must appear the man of lawlessness, whereas in 1 Thess 4:16-17; 5:1-3 the Lord will appear suddenly, "like a thief in the night," with no intervening events. The eschatology of 1 Thessalonians is said to resemble that found in 1 Corinthians (15), an authentic letter, and so 2 Thessalonians is judged to be inauthentic. Do you find this reason questioning the authenticity of 2 Thessalonians convincing? How would you explain the apparently dissimilar eschatologies on the assumption of Pauline authorship?
1 & 2 Thessalonians do not necessarily have contradictory eschatologies. In 2 Thessalonians, Paul is addressing the problem of a report allegedly originating with him that the day of the Lord has already come. In response, he explains that it could not have come, since the man of lawlessness has not yet appeared (2 Thess 2:2). In 1 Thessalonians the purpose of Paul's teaching about the parousia is to provide comfort for those whose loved ones have died. In this context, he explains that the Day of Lord will come unexpectedly. It is possible to harmonize both eschatological statements on the assumption that in neither letter does Paul give a complete account of the eschaton: the parousia will come like a thief in the night, not because it comes without warning, but because people do not heed the warning. The penultimate event is the appearance of the man of lawlessness, whom most people will not identify as such. Paul makes it clear that he has already explained this teaching to his readers when present in Thessalonica (2 Thess 2:5), so that he does not have to repeat everything that he taught them, but only what they needed to hear at that time.
1.3.2. 2 Thessalonians is so similar in structure to 1 Thessalonians and has so many verbal parallels that some argue that 2 Thessalonians was written by an imitator, using 1 Thessalonians as a model.
A. Structurally, the main bodies of the two letters are similar; much of the content of 2 Thessalonians is paralleled in 1 Thessalonians. (Unparalleled material is found in 2 Thes 1:5-12; 2:15; 3:1-4, 13-14, 17.)
1. 2 Thess 2:13 (14) = 1 Thess 2:13. In both letters, a second thanksgiving occurs in the main body.
2. 2 Thess 2:1-12 = 1 Thess 4:13-5:11. The topic of the parousia of the Lord (Jesus Christ) is dealt with at length in both letters.
3. 2 Thess 2:16-17; 3:5; 3:16 = 1 Thess 5:23. Three times in 2 Thessalonians and once in 1 Thessalonians, a prayer is offered introduced by "The Lord (or God) (himself)" and in which the optative mood of the verb is used.
4. 2 Thess 3:6-15 = 1 Thess 5:12-15. The problem of idleness is addressed in each letter.
B. There are many verbal parallels between 1 and 2 Thessalonians.
1. The salutation of 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians are more similar to each than either is to any of Paul's other salutations (1 Thes 1:1: "Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace / 2 Thess 1:1-2: "Paul, Silvanus and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to you and peace from God the father and the Lord Jesus Christ").
2. There are several phrases common to both letters: (1) "work of faith" (1 Thess 1:3; 2 Thess 1:11); (2) "faith…love…endurance" (1 Thess 1:3; 2 Thess 1:3-4); (3) "who do not know God" (1 Thess 4:5; 2 Thess 1:8); (4) "finally" (to) loipon) (1 Thess 4:1; 2 Thess 3:1); (5) "brothers loved by…" (1 Thess 1:4; 2 Thess 2:13); (6) "hard work and toil, worked, day and night, in order not to be a burden to any of you" (1 Thess 2:9; 2 Thess 3:8); (7) "love / abound" (1 Thess 3:12; 2 Thess 1:3); (8) "pray for us" (1 Thess 5:25; 2 Thess 3:1; (9) "the parousia of our Lord Jesus (Christ)" (1 Thess 3:13; 2 Thess 2:1); (10) "we appeal in the Lord Jesus (Christ) (1 Thess 4:1; Thess 3:12); (11) "establish you" (1 Thess 3:2; 2 Thess 3:3); (12) "receive from us" (1 Thess 2:13; 4:1; 2 Thess 3:6).
3. There are also many examples
of single words appearing in both 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians;
obviously, the less common of these words are the more significant for
the purpose of establishing a literary or some other relationship between
them. Two of the common words ("to make straight" [kateuthunô];
"idle / idly" [ataktos / ataktôs]) occur
only in these two letters in the Pauline corpus.
Do you find the argument to be convincing that 2 Thessalonians is so similar in structure to the 1 Thessalonians and has so many verbal parallels that 2 Thessalonians must have been written by an imitator, using 1 Thessalonians as a model?
It is a circular argument to say that too much similarity in structure and too many verbal parallels mean that an imitator is at work. It could just as easily be argued that these data are explained on the assumption that the same author is writing to the same group of people around the same time and dealing with the same concerns. Usually, it is argued that texts that are literarily too dissimilar cannot be from the same author. It is also possible that Paul, Silvanus and Timothy used a copy of 1 Thessalonians when composing 2 Thessalonians.
1.3.3. The tone of 1 Thessalonians is said to be so different from that of 2 Thessalonians that the same author could not have written both letters; it is supposed that a writer could not change his attitude towards his readers so drastically. In 1 Thess 1:2, Paul, Silvanus and Timothy thank God for the Thessalonians and again in 1 Thess 2:13 (see 3:9). The readers are commended for their "faith and love" (3:6). By contrast, in 2 Thessalonians the authors say "we ought to thank God always" for the readers (1:3; 2:13), implying that they cannot at present do so because latter have fallen short of a standard in some way, unlike the intended readers of 1 Thessalonians. Moreover, in 2 Thess 3:6, 12, Paul, Silvanus and Timothy give commands to the Thessalonians, which stands in contrast to the more conciliatory tone of 1 Thessalonians Do you find the argument that the tone of the two letters is so different that they must have different authors to be compelling?
It is questionable whether 1 & 2 Thessalonians are so significantly different in tone that it is possible to conclude that they do not have the same authorship. To interpret the phrase "we ought always to thank God" as implying some serious reservations about the worthiness of the objects of the thanksgiving is wrong, since the two thanksgivings in 2 Thessalonians do not even hint at any criticism of the Thessalonians (1:3-4; 2:12-14). Rather the phrase "we ought always to thank God" seems to be a variation of "we thank God always (or continually) (1 Thess 1:2; 2:13). It is true that Paul, Silvanus and Timothy are relieved to hear of the Thessalonians' perseverance and express this exuberantly, but there is a equivalent positive tone to 2 Thessalonians, though more subdued perhaps. The fact that the authors give commands in 2 Thessalonians is explained by the fact of a recent negative development in the church, the idleness of some of its members. To assume that an author or authors must always adopt the same tone when writing is unreasonable, given the possibility of a change of relationship to the readers.
1.3.4. The greeting supposedly written by the hand of Paul in 2 Thess 3:17 is interpreted by some as a transparent attempt by the real author to pass himself as Paul. On this hypothesis, the real Paul would not have had recourse to such an obvious means of epistolary authentication. (If true, then "pseudo-Paul" is also responsible for the spurious self-reference in 2 Thess 2:2 "some letter supposedly from us.")
Do you find the argument that the real author forged a greeting from Paul in order to give the semblance of authenticity to his composition?
Since Paul was in the habit of writing a greeting in his own hand in his letters, it is pure supposition to claim that a forger is responsible for the greeting in 2 Thessalonians (see 1 Cor 16:21; Gal 6:11; Col 4:18).
1.3.5. It should also be noted that if the author of 2 Thessalonians is not Paul, then in 2 Thess 2:1-2 the spurious author audaciously condemns others for creating letters falsely alleged to have come from Paul and his associates: "I ask you...not to be alarmed...at some letter supposedly from us." To write this would be so hypocritical as to be unbelievable.
2.1. Whom does 2 Thess 1:1 identify as the intended readers of 2 Thessalonians?
2 Thess 1:1 identifies tThe intended readers of 2 Thessalonians as the members of "the church of the Thessalonians."
2.2. While in Thessalonica, Paul, Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy transmitted a body of oral teaching to the Thessalonians, to which they later appeal in their two letters (1 Thess 3:4; 4:2; 2 Thess 2:5, 15; 3:10). This oral teaching included the necessity of suffering persecution (1 Thess 3:4), information about eschatological matters (2 Thess 2:5) and the necessity of work: "If anyone is not willing to work, he shall not eat" (2 Thess 3:10).
2 Thessalonians is usually dated to shortly after the composition of 1 Thessalonians, c. 50-52. Attempts have been made to establish the reverse, that 2 Thessalonians was written first, but the evidence for such a position is weak. The data supporting the traditional relative dating is as follows.
3.1. Paul makes reference to at least one previous letter in 2 Thess 2:15, which is probably a reference to 1 Thessalonians. By contrast, Paul says nothing in 1 Thessalonians of having written a previous letter.
3.2. In 1 Thess 2:2-10 Paul, Silvanus (Silas) and Timothy give thanks to God for the conversion of the Thessalonians, how they "turned to God from idols to worship the living and true God." Likewise, in the second thanksgiving it is said: "We thank God continually because when you received the word of God, heard from us, you received it not as the word of man but, as it really is, the word of God" (2:13). On the other hand, in 2 Thess 1:3-4, the authors give thanks for the continued growth of the Thessalonian believers: "We ought always to give thanks for you...because your faith is increasing and the love that you have for another abounds." What does this suggest about the order in which the two letters were written?
It suggests that 1 Thessalonians was written first and, after a period of time, 2 Thessalonians was written. The authors are first thankful for the conversion of the Thessalonians and later then thankful for their continued spiritual growth.
3.3. 1 Thessalonians was written upon Timothy's return to Paul in Corinth (1 Thess 3:6). Prior to Timothy's being sent from Athens to Thessalonica and his return to Paul, the authors knew nothing of the spiritual condition of their Thessalonian converts, and so were greatly anxious for them (1 Thess 2:17-3:10). If 2 Thessalonians was written before 1 Thessalonians, it is strange that there is no hint of this anxiety for the Thessalonians in that letter, nor any statement of a desire to return to the city to check on their condition (see 1 Thess 2:17-3:1). The impression with which the reader is left is that 2 Thessalonians was written after 1 Thessalonians. Besides, 2 Thessalonians presupposes knowledge of the Thessalonians' spiritual condition that the authors did not have until after Timothy's return from his return visit to the city at the earliest (see 3:11).
Assuming that 2 Thessalonians was written shortly after 1 Thessalonians, from what you know of Pauline chronology, where do you think that Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians?
Paul wrote 2 Thessalonians in Corinth, where he was when he wrote 1 Thessalonians.
Outline of the Second Letter to the Thessalonians
This represents the introduction of the letter.
1. 1:1-2
This represents the salutation of the letter.
2. 1:3-12
In 1:3-4, Paul gives thanks to God for the Thessalonians. Deviating from standard epistolary form, in 1:5-10 Paul speaks about the judgment of God at the revealing of the Lord Jesus, when God will repay those who are persecuting the Thessalonians. He then offers a prayer for the Thessalonians in 1:11-12.
This represents the main body of the letter.
1. 2:1-12
Paul explains in more detail about the parousia of Christ, because there is a rumor that the day of the Lord has already come. He says that the end cannot come until the appearance of "the man of lawlessness," in accordance with the work of Satan. The "man of lawlessness" will exalt himself over all that is identified as divine or worshipped, set himself up in the Temple of God and even claim to be God. The secret of lawlessness is already at work, but the one who restrains it will continue to do so until it is removed. Then the lawless one will be revealed, whom Christ will destroy at his parousia.
2. 2:13-17
In another departure from standard epistolary form, Paul offers another thanksgiving for and prayer on behalf of the Thessalonians.
3. 3:1-15
Paul asks for prayer that the gospel will continue to spread and that Paul and his associates would be protected from evil men. He also exhorts the Thessalonians not to be idle nor associate with the idle, laying down the rule that if a man does not work, he ought not to eat.
This represents the conclusion
of the letter, including benedictions and greetings.
6. Why was the Second Letter to the Thessalonians written?
Assuming that he wrote what he did for a purpose, what can you determine about Paul's reasons for writing the Second Letter to the Thessalonians from the contents of following passages?
6.1. 2 Thess 1:3-12
In order to encourage them in their persecution, Paul explains to the Thessalonians that, because of their sufferings at the hands of their persecutors, they will be counted worthy of the Kingdom of God and that their persecutors will be punished when the Lord Jesus is revealed—since God is just.
6.2. 2 Thess 3:6-15
Paul writes to correct a tendency towards idleness among the Thessalonians, who are reminded that they were taught that "If anyone is not willing to work, he shall not eat." Since he sent 1 Thessalonians, this problem has arisen and he has become aware of it somehow.
6.3. 2 Thess 2:2
Paul writes
to correct a rumor that had been circulating that the second coming
has already come (2:2); there seems to have been a fraudulent letter
circulating in Paul's name.
Paul writes
in order to ask the Thessalonians for prayer because of the resistance
that he and his associates are experiencing to the preaching of the
gospel in Corinth (see Acts 18).

|Time and Consciousness
|William James characterised the specious present as 'the short duration of which we are immediately and incessantly sensible'. The doctrine that our conscious awareness is not instantaneous, but rather spans a short interval, is rooted in phenomenology. We can directly perceive change and persistence – e.g., a bird swooping, a tone droning – or so it seems; since change and persistence take time, how we could directly apprehend them unless our consciousness also extends through time? However, the doctrine of the specious present strikes some philosophers as highly problematic, even paradoxical. If these philosophers are right, it is hard to see how our consciousness can be as it seems. Hence the importance of this topic. The fact that there are very different conceptions of the specious present – not to mention a lack of consensus concerning how the term itself should be employed – complicates matters considerably. I will survey the main options and try to impose some order on the situation. I will go on to argue that one conception of the specious present is considerably less problematic than the alternatives; this conception is largely, but not completely, Jamesian in character. I will conclude by considering some implications of accepting the specious present in this form for our understanding of time itself.

Pinoy OFW Job Openings – Jobs in Cyprus for Filipinos
Jobs in Cyprus for Filipinos (OFW) will soon be open for application to Pinoys according the latest news edition release by ABS-CBN today, December 3, 2008. Cyprus is said to be opening thousands of jobs for Filipinos who have skills for corresponding jobs like chef, electrician, concrete finishers, manicurists and labor workers.
According to the ABS-CBN report, two huge marina projects will accommodate jobs for Filipinos in Cyprus namely Limassol and Larnaca. This was based in the assessment given by different Cypriot recruiters who will be employing the said workers for different positions as early as February of the coming year, 2009.
Let us just hope that the economic crisis will not affect this special alert where Pinoy professionals as well as Filipino skilled workers will benefit from in the opening of the year 2009. Also according to the reports, there are as of today, about 12,000 OFWs in Cyprus wherein reaching almost 90 % of that population work as household helpers, commonly known as domestic helpers.
Although many European countries were hit by the recession that has been happening including in the United States, Cyprus is said to have not been one of these European Union countries which makes them a safe venue for Filipinos to work in the coming New Year.
If the economic crisis will not hit, Cyprus jobs for Filipinos will be provided by different recruiters in the said region in Europe which will give favor to the thousands and maybe millions more of Pinoys waiting for an opportunity like this one to grab.

Australia Exchange Program
Australian hospitality programs have emerged on the world stage as providers of professional education in hospitality and tourism management. Their courses cover a wide range of industry topics, their populations are diverse, and they attract students from many South Pacific and Asian nations. We are proud to offer an exchange program with Southern Cross University (SCU). The university is located in Lismore, which is a warm climate college town about 90 miles south of Brisbane (about mid-country along the eastern coast). It is very student-friendly, with about 10,000 students over all (it's about a 45-minute ride away from the beach), and has a strong tourism and hospitality program.
Their academic year follows the UMass calendar, so the first term is from late February to mid-June and the second term is from mid-July until November. Keep in mind that their seasons are reversed from ours, so climate-wise the SCU first term (February-June) is summer going into fall and second term (July-November) is winter going into spring. Lismore has a climate similar to that of northern Florida or southern Georgia. It does not snow, but does go down to the 40s and 50s during July and August. In February the temperature can easily exceed 90 degrees. UMass students may exchange for either semester.

Mary Johnson - An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir
At seventeen, Mary Johnson experienced her calling when she saw a photo of Mother Teresa on the cover of Time magazine; eighteen months later she began her training as a Missionary of Charity, a nun in Mother Teresa's order. Not without difficulty, this boisterous, independent-minded teenager eventually adapted to the sisters' austere life of poverty and devotion, but beneath the white-and-blue sari beat the heart of an ordinary young woman who faced daily the simple and profound struggles we all share, the same desires for love and connection. Eventually, after twenty years of service, Johnson left the church to find her own path. In An Unquenchable Thirst: A Memoir ($16.00), her magnificently told story holds universal truths about the mysteries of faith and how a woman discovers herself.

|Machu Picchu, sacred city of the
Incas, is accessible by train from Cuzco, or via a trek along the Inca Trail, in
Peru. The "city" was never discovered by the Spanish conquistadores and
remained lost for centuries.
Picchu is an architectural jewel. The Beauty and Mystery of it's walled ruins, once
palaces of the finest Inca stone work, are augmented even more by the lush, almost
virginal landscape of the surroundings.Green jungle flora suffuses the abrupt topography.
Orchids add a strange brilliance.
How did this center of Inca culture hide itself in the mountain jungle? From our knowledge of Greek, Egyptian and other early civilizations with written records, it is hard to understand how such a fantastic site could have been hidden from the Spanish. Yet until its discovery in the 1911, Machu Picchu, "the lost city of the Incas", remained forgotten for 400 years.
Actually, Machu Picchu is not a city at all. It was
built by Pachacuti Inca as a royal estate and religious retreat in 1460-70. Its
location -- on a remote secondary road in nearly impassable terrain high above the
Urubamba River canyon cloud forest -- ensured that it would have no administrative,
commercial or military use. Any movement in that direction to or from Cusco and the
Sacred valley upriver would have been by other Inca roads, either the high road near
Salcantay or by the Lucumayo valley road. Travel was restricted on these roads
except by Inca decree.

Bamberg & its Surroundings
Bamberg is a gorgeous city of unspoiled character. Affectionately termed "Franconian Rome", it is a city of dreams with unique flair, a complete work of art built around a 1000-year-old story.
Memmelsdorf lies only three kilometers outside of the Bamberg city limits. Since time immemorial, Memmelsdorf has been a true pearl of the region, attracting visitors from far and wide.
In Memmelsdorf you'll find the former summer residence of the Bamberg prince-bishops: castle and park Seehof, not far from the Drei Kronen. The so called "Marquardsburg" or "Seehof Palace" deserves distinct recognition alongside other exceptional sights of the region.
It's wonderful that the old bishops knew exactly where to find the highest quality rest and best tasting beer.

On Friday, this site was the target of a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS) by a group operating under the umbrella of Anonymous. I first became aware of the attack through a tweet, and a look at my server logs confirmed it.
The attack was apparently a part of an operation to protest the Protect IP Act, a bill that moved to the Senate floor last week after unanimous approval by the Senate Judiciary Committee and supported by 43 state Attorneys General and nearly 200 companies, trade associations, and labor unions — unions that include over 400,000 members in the craft and creative fields. The main target appears to have been the US Chamber of Commerce, and other tweets indicate that the Independent Film and Television Alliance and the Copyright Alliance had also been hit.
Had it not been for the tweet, I would probably never noticed my site had been hit by a DDoS. There was no permanent damage, it only lasted for a few minutes, and it didn't seem to prevent anyone from accessing the site. But the attack does highlight the sheer hypocrisy of those opposed to the bill.
The opposition is based in part on the idea that the Protect IP Act will usher in a new era of internet censorship with no recourse for those affected. In reality, the bill addresses conduct, not speech. Limited, narrow legal remedies are available against sites dedicated to copyright infringement — sites that have no other purpose but to copy, distribute, and stream other's expression. The remedies are designed not to suppress speech, but to reduce the ability to profit off this type of infringement.
The censorship predicted by opponents of the bill is purely hypothetical and unsupported by the actual text of the legislation. And in order to voice their opposition, opponents are engaging in actual censorship — arbitrary action designed specifically to suppress the opinions of those who support the bill solely based on the message they are conveying. They have met the enemy, and the enemy is them.
That's all I've done — expressed my opinion on pending legislation. I'm merely an individual blogger. I don't get paid by anyone to write this blog. I do it only to share my thoughts with anyone willing to read them, like millions of others around the world who blog.
Some may claim that engaging in DDoS attacks is a form of civil disobedience. But where's the civil disobedience in trying to silence a private individual?
Others may claim that the specter of government censorship justifies taking away another's right to speak — that freedom of speech can only be infringed by the state. Not true. It is a bedrock principle of our society that one may not infringe on another's liberty. It has also been established since the Enlightenment era that government exists primarily to enforce this principle. The rule of law protects against the rule of man, or "might makes right." Any deprivation of liberty is only legitimate when it occurs within the due process of law.1
To coerce someone into silence because of disagreement over their message is repugnant to civil democratic society. To do so under the guise of protecting free speech is pure cant.
Complicit in this coercion are those sites that breathlessly report on every minute action by Anonymous, providing publicity and legitimacy to the group. Perhaps they have not been more vocal in condemning the actions of Anonymous because thus far the writers agree with the ideology of the members — embracing an Orwellian notion that freedom of speech means "you're free to agree with me as much as you want." But the DDoS tactics of Anonymous are easily adoptable by any ideological movement; one wonders how happily these sites will publicize the censorship of individuals by people they disagree with.
One would think one of the many public interest groups dedicated to protecting the freedom to speak one's mind online would decry any attempt to coerce someone into silence, but not so with Anonymous. To its credit, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the "first line of defense" against such attacks, has publicly stated that it "doesn't condone cyber-vigilantism." However, co-founder and current board member of the EFF John Perry Barlow has publicly voiced his support for the efforts of Anonymous.2 They, in return, embrace many of the ideas he has expressed in his famous essay, "Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace."3
This is the essay that proclaims, without a hint of irony, "We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity."
It's unfortunate that critics of copyright law and efforts to better protect creators cast aside the principles they purport to uphold and resort to such tactics. There's an old saying among lawyers, "When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the law is on your side, pound the law. When neither is on you side, pound the table." Attempts to censor individual bloggers like me are ultimately just table-pounding. Despite this, I'll continue to do my best to reasonably present the facts and the law so that my readers are free to make up their own minds.
- See, for example, John Locke's Two Treatises of Government: "The liberty of man in society is to be under no legislative power but that established by consent in the commonwealth, nor under the dominion of any will, or restraint of any law, but what the legislative shall enact according to the trust put in it. Freedom, then, is not what Sir Robert Filmer tells us, O.A. 55, 'A liberty for everyone to do what he lists, to live as he pleases, and not to be tied by any laws,' but freedom of man under government is to have a standing rule to live by, common to every one of that society, and made by the legislative power erected in it. A liberty to follow my own will in all things where the rule prescribes not, not to be the subject to the inconstant, uncertain, unknown, arbitrary will of another man, as freedom of nature is to be under no other restraint but the law of nature."

The Digital Skeptic: What If the Art Market Was the Model for All Markets?
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Ariane Lelong-Mainaud knows an artful way to teach our dysfunctional financial markets the difference between a bogus tweet and a real ticking bomb: Buy and sell stock the way we buy and sell art.
"The way art is bought and sold has not changed for centuries, maybe thousands of years," Lelong-Mainaud told me over a luxuriously slow Japanese meal. "There is nothing electronic. The auction house is in the middle. There is a buyer. There is a seller. There is a price. It's done."
Lelong-Mainaud has art in her blood. She's not only the president of the Paris-based Association Pour la Defense de L'Oeuvre of Joan Miro, she grew up in a family of gallery owners in a world of modern masters such as David Hockney, Francis Bacon and Louise Bourgeois as well as Miro himself.
In fact, she knew the artist well as a child; so well that -- without much exaggeration -- she can spot a fake Miro a mile away."People who own Miro bring me in to confirm they are real before they are bought or sold," Lelong-Mainaud said. "Twentieth-century art is much harder than older art to make a forgery. So it's very simple to tell if it is not real." I asked what happens when she spots a fake: "I tear it up," she said flatly. "People cry. The picture may have been paid for with millions. But if it is a forgery, I destroy it." This stone-cold sense of the real from the fake makes Lelong-Mainaud the go-to woman for authenticating Miro at the world's heavy-hitting art auction houses, including New York's Sotheby's (BID) and London's Christie's. She will not comment on specific pricing, buyers and sellers. But my talks with her over the past several months revealed a rare, inner glimpse of the dark world of how prices are set, buyers are found and information is distributed in the roughly $50-billion-a-year worldwide art market -- which, by the by is as absurd as absurd gets by contemporary, digital information-based financial market standards. Think about it: There is no underlying cash flow or enterprise value to price with art. No product revenues to factor in. In fact, there are really no products at all.
"Art's value does not come from an underlying asset or income stream. It's all about what the next person will pay for it," Marion Maneker, publisher at New York-based trend-tracker Art Market Monitor, explained to me over the phone. "That makes a large portion of the market private and unknowable. Yet it's interesting how many people are drawn into it."

Under Grace Ministries Closes $900,000 Acquisition in West Little Rock (Real Deals)
Posted 11/1/2010 12:00 am
Updated 2 years ago
Under Grace Ministries Inc., led by Paul Stevens, bought Hidden Creek Senior Apartments at 10905 W. Markham St. The seller is Tisdale Properties & Development LLC, led by Tracy Tisdale.
The deal is funded with a five-year loan of $900,000 from Fellowship Bible Church of Little Rock.
The 2.5-acre development previously was tied to a June 2006 mortgage of $802,291 held by First Security Bank of Searcy.
The property was acquired for $675,000 in April 2005 from Jerry Malott, $337,600, and Jesse Malott and James Malott, $168,700 each.
Packet Foreclosure
A historic house turned office building in downtown Little Rock is under new ownership after a $635,000 foreclosure sale.
Chambers Bank of Danville recovered the Packet House at 1406 Cantrell Road from North Little Rock's Gibraltar National Insurance Co., led by Audra Welcher.
The 2.16-acre development previously was linked with a May 2009 mortgage of $650,000 held by the bank.
Ownership of the 140-year-old building was transferred to the insurance company in November 2004 from Harvey Manufacturing Corp., led by Ed Harvey.
The property was purchased for $425,000 in June 1988 from Little Rock's Pulaski Bank & Trust, which entered the picture after a June 1987 foreclosure sale of $615,000. The bank recovered the property from Packet House Partnership, led by Larry and Margaret Carter and Steven Wilson.
Chenal Circle Sale
A 6,465-SF home in the Chenal Circle neighborhood of west Little Rock's Chenal Valley development rang up a $650,000 deal.
David and Mary Gulley acquired the house from Judith and W.F. Lemke. The deal is financed with a one-year loan of $650,000 from BancorpSouth Bank of Tupelo, Miss.
The Lemkes purchased the property for $885,000 in September 2005 from the namesake residence trusts of Max and Carolyn Davis.
Block 2 Mortgage
A downtown Little Rock redevelopment was used to secure a $4.5 million funding agreement.
LSF5 Block 2 LLC, an affiliate of Lone Star U.S. Acquisition LLC of Dallas, obtained the two-year loan from First Security Bank.
The 1-acre development previously was tied to a December 2009 mortgage of $11.9 million held by Bank Midwest of Kansas City, Mo.
The limited liability company entered the ownership picture of the Block 2 Development through a $9 million foreclosure sale in March 2008.
LSF5 Block 2 received a $12.5 million foreclosure judgment in January 2008 after purchasing the long-in-default loan for $7.5 million in September 2007 from the Department of Housing & Urban Development.
The property includes three redeveloped buildings: the 82,000-SF Democrat Printing & Lithograph Building at 122 E. Second St., home to Arkansas Business Publishing Group and 32 apartments; the 69,000-SF Wallace Building at 101 Main St., 44 apartments; and the 85,000-SF Archer Drug Building at 107 E. Markham St., 69 apartments.
Block 2 LLC, led by Paul Esterer and Todd Rice, began assembling the property in two November 1998 deals with Democrat Printing & Lithographing Co., led by Haynes Whitney, $650,000 for its namesake property, and J. Chandler & Co., led by John Chandler, $1.4 million for the other Archer Drug Building plus some parking space.
The Wallace Building was added in a $400,000 transaction with the city of Little Rock in August 1999.
Coffee Funding
A North Little Rock coffee roasting plant was used to secure a $2 million financial package.
Westrock Coffee LLC, led by Scott Ford, received the five-year loan from Summit Bank of Arkadelphia.
The 4.1-acre development at 30 Collins Industrial Place was bought for $2 million in April 2010 from Brent & Sam's Inc., a subsidiary of Lance Inc. in Charlotte, N.C.

I like to get out early on the weekends and view the sunrise. This particular morning, the sun was coming up behind the hills near Highway 74 in Palm Desert. I just stood and clicked pictures until I got this one. Not exactly mellow, but it is the yellow sun rising through the mountains! Mellow Yellow for Monday, March 30, 2009.
Deserts and Beyond
Deserts and beyond...places in and around the southern California deserts and beyond. Photo taken at Canyon Lake, in the Superstition Mountains of Arizona, December 2011. A few minutes later, after the sun disappeared, these cliffs were their normal color. They were only golden for a short time and I'm glad we were able to view them in their glory.

So far I purchased a couple of items from infibeam and on both the occasions, I am extremely happy with the service. Specific to Transcend Microsd card, this served my purpose.
Sir, i received this product in a good condition, and now it is working fine. one thing to say: prepare a way for fast delivery. this product delivery time took nearly a weak. if it is 3 days or less it is ok, fine likeable. NEED FASTEST DELIVERY OPTION.
Sturdy product. Decent write speeds. It took me about an hour to transfer 29GB of music onto the card. Infibeam packaging was good. Delivery on time and without hassles. Great experience allround.
Hi, this is my good experience with infibeam recently. I ordered Transcend 32GB Micro SD Card on 25th Feb 2013 around noon. To my surprise the product was shipped the same day evening and it reached me the very next day before noon. This is the first time I am experiencing such a wonderful service in online shopping. Recently I had very bad experience in other online shopping sites. But the best experience is with Infibeam. The product is also in good quality and genuine. Thanks to Infibeam for bringing an awesome service. Appreciate your service...

Receive Memory card same as description. Worth buy this in this price.
Service and product is good.very fast service .magix box offers are very good
its a bit slow. but price is less on infibeam as compared to other sites. takes time to transfer files on it but it works well on my tablet.
Very good quality and prompt shipment. I received the product within 05 days. This is excellent service. The quality of the product is extremely good.
Hi! I am very glad to say that infibeam helped me for purchasing the required product in lowest price as well as i got my item before the estimated time provided by it.

I will suggest to all to online shopping only from infibeam because here we can get products/items in minimum price in the comparison of other shopping sites also service is very good and satisfactory. I am very happy and proud of being a customer of infibeam. I will continue shopping with infibeam in future too.Thank you very much infibeam. I wish you all the best. Keep it up.

As soon as I discovered my school was taking a three-day camping field trip, I signed up as chaperone. Never mind that I knew very few of the kids attending and that I hadn't been a cabin counselor in at least 15 years. This was camp. The worst day of camp is always better than the best day of school, and I took it as my mission to instill this value into my very energetic group of 11- and 12-year-olds. On …

Disney, how exciting, Steph!!!!! We went a couple years ago and wish we'd have waited a bit. My daughter had just turned 3, was newly potty trained, and it was a bit of a nightmare for me. She was too small to go on a lot of the rides, would get upset when we had to separate because my son was big enough to go on most rides, popped a squat in the middle of the floor during breakfast one day and in line for a ride another time. On top of it, we went in May and she(and I as I get older) does not deal with heat well. Of course, I laugh about it now. LOL I think your kids are similar in age to mine so it's perfect - and I think February is a good time to go, shouldn't be super crowded and not crazy hot.
Way to go on all of your lifts!!!! I sure wish, like tahini says, that I could have had the rest without the illness. I took yesterday off as well, although my body below the neck felt well enough to hit the gym and I was pulling out my gym clothes. My throat still hurt pretty bad and still have a cough that won't let up so I felt another day of rest would be better and opted to just stay home. I did go today, maintained my weight so I was happy about that. I did a chest workout and I felt like I sucked. LOL I'm sure it wasn't as bad as it seemed considering. I do still have a hideous cough so I'm definitely not 100%, plus it was a change of pace from what I've been doing. It was rough!!!!
Tahini, I'm so sorry you're sick as well It sucks. Eating was definitely hard. Like I mentioned, I had zero appetite Christmas Eve and only really had a few bites of food. Christmas Day wasn't much better; I ate more junk than actual food. I have been improving each day slowly but surely. Hang in there and feel better!!!!
