Many people make the mistake of not putting forth as much effort as they should when they decide to make a card as a wedding anniversary gift. Here are some thoughts to keep you out of trouble. First of all, a wedding anniversary card actually makes a good first anniversary gift. But you can't just grab a card and write "Happy Anniversary." And whatever you do, don't try to get by with only a card. Let's look at these guidelines in a little more detail.
Almost everyone remembers their first anniversary. After all, a marriage represents a huge change in lifestyle and commitment. Many things are shared for the very first time. It only makes sense that the date marking completion of the first year of marriage would be easily remembered. The traditional first year anniversary gift is paper, which is surprising to many people. The symbolism is that the overlapping strands in paper give it strength. Likewise, the first year of marriage is knitting together. A paper card is an excellent way to fulfill this traditional idea.
However, a wedding anniversary card from one partner to the other should be special. That means that stopping by the drugstore, picking up a card and then dashing off "Happy Anniversary" before sealing it up just won't do. This is a time to express your feelings of love and joy encountered during the first year. Many relationship experts suggest that you should write a love letter to your spouse and seal it in with the card. At the very least, write meaningful words that let your partner know how much they are loved and appreciated.
A card is a wonderful gift, but it shouldn't be your only wedding anniversary gift. Whether the upcoming anniversary is your 1st, 5th or 25th wedding anniversary, you need to include another tangible expression of your love. A tight budget is understandable, but if you are creative, there are several ways to supplement the card you give. In extreme circumstances, you and your spouse can agree to forego gift giving. But even then, a personally made card given in a nice location can mean a lot.
If you have a wedding anniversary date approaching, you can make a card as an anniversary gift. Cards are excellent choices for the first anniversary. But be sure to include your personal thoughts on the card, and give an additional gift if at all possible. These heartfelt expressions will help ensure many more years of anniversary celebrations.

A makeshift altar near the mineshaft in Chile, cribbed from here
Obviously, we are all watching the rescue of the 33 Chilean miners–Operation San Lorenzo–and it is so moving and inspiring – a rare moment when the world can rejoice together. Heroes from all over the world have gathered and drilled as millions throughout the globe prayed and hoped, and then, finally, we watched that exquisite moment when the first miner to ascend, Florencio Ávalos Silva and his wife and son embraced. Chills.
And then, after a brief wait, the second miner emerges from the rescue capsule with great joy; he embraces his wife and then opens a bag to retrieve…gifts.
For others.
In the midst of all of this drama, all of the lights and excitement and concern, and at a moment when a man could reasonably be excused for thinking only of himself, Mario Sepulveda Espinace thought about others, and he brought them gifts.
Rocks? Rocks containing gold? It doesn't matter. Mario Sepulveda Espinace crested the top of a hole from which he thought he might never escape, and his first instinct was to give. That's a thing worth writing about, and thinking about and praying about. I wish I had a picture of that moment! How huge and resilient is the human spirit?
We were already witnessing something jaw-dropping and near-miraculous. And a man arose bearing gifts, and it got even better, for everyone in the world who was paying attention.
Wow. I'm so glad I didn't go to bed after the first miner came out!
And I'm remembering this.
I love this tweet: Rocks! Of course!…what presence of mind…and generosity of spirit…and sense of humor…and grace.
So right! And so well said.
I love this too:
"There are actually 34 of us," the nineteen-year-old miner wrote in a letter sent up from the mine on Tuesday, "because God has never left us down here." –Chilean miner, Jimmy Sanchez
UPDATE II: I was thinking this morning that if a fiction writer (or Hollywood) had tried to write this story, they could not have. First off, they'd probably turn it into a Lord of the Flies scenario, (or "Lost") but even if they did not, they would be compelled (or encouraged) to omit much of the religious angle of the story, and then, would the story of 33 he-men types who don't kill each other, who find a way to live peaceably and generously (and even with grace) while trapped below the earth ever find a publisher? Doubtful. This is a story that only real-life could tell, and if we're really listening, we can learn a lot from it about how wrong we're getting things up here above – in our values, our cynicism, our lowered expectations about everyone around us and everything. Lots to think about.

Laura Stokes, Physician Assistant Student
"I'm a paramedic firefighter. I'm pursuing a second career in medicine to work more closely with patients."
Laura started her journey in helping people in crisis because of a family tragedy. She observed the work of the paramedics when they came to her house in response to a sudden death in the family. She was compelled by this misfortune to volunteer in the firehouse. Volunteering led to developing a passion to pursue emergency medicine as a career and she was hired by the Anne Arundel County Fire Department. Laura loves a challenge!
Her energy level is remarkable. She is raising three children with the help of her husband, who is a firefighter and chief in the county. She can retire in six years so she decided to go back to school to pursue a second career in the medical field. Although she has a baccalaureate degree in Emergency Health Services from UMBC and a paramedic certificate from AACC, the lure of a more advanced program in family practice appealed to her. The program at AACC prepares the primary care physician assistant to provide quality medical care under the supervision of a licensed physician. Laura will be able to meet one of her goals which is to follow-up with patients and see them on a nonemergency basis.
" I love the PA program. It's exceptional. It offers several different options to fit your learning style."
Indeed, Laura provides an excellent testimonial about AACC. She feels so strongly about the college and in spite of being very busy, she decided to apply to be the student representative to the Board of Trustees. "This is my community college; it's a big part of the community. My kids participate in college programs and I would like to become involved in all aspects of AACC."
Laura indicates that juggling everything that she's currently undertaking is a matter of prioritizing what's important. She serves as her PA class president, too. "I think it's really true that busy people get a lot done but don't come inspect my house!"

It is difficult to discuss calmly the frightful disaster which happened in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. No such awful sacrifice of human life has ever been known in this country shipwreck and the casualties of war alone being excepted. -- New York Times editorial, Dec. 7, 1876
One hundred and thirty-five years this evening, nearly a thousand playgoers entered the Brooklyn Theater, at Washington and Johnson streets near City Hall, to enjoy the well-reviewed (and lengthy) production of N. Hart Jackson's 'The Two Orphans'. During the show's final act, stage hands discovered that a set piece backstage had caught fire. The actors onstage attempted gamely to stay in character, for fear of causing a panic, until fiery bits of wood and flaming parts of the set began raining down upon them.
Nobody is sure exactly how many died that evening -- some number between 275 to 300 people. It is certainly among the worst disasters in Brooklyn history and one of the most catastrophic fires in American history.
The place where the theater once stood is now occupied by Cadman Plaza, in the grove of trees just east of the Henry Ward Beecher statue. Many of the bodies (over a hundred) are buried together under a memorial at Green-Wood Cemetery.

"The NFTA paid $2 for it and therefore should sell it for $2," Rep. Higgins said.
Congressman Higgins said that's how much the then Niagara Frontier Port Authority, now the NFTA, paid the City of Buffalo back in 1957 to acquire the land that is now home to the NFTA Small Boat Harbor, Dug's Dive restaurant and not much else.
Higgins said, "Three of the four buildings on the NFTA property are vacant and there's no plans to do anything with them."
Congressman Higgins said the land is only worth that much because whoever ends up buying it will have to pay an estimated $30-million to fix it up.
"Any money that they would have to pay for that property would result in not being able to do the public access improvements that are necessary there," said Higgins.
The City of Buffalo and the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation have expressed interest in buying and developing the land. Higgins wants the Harbor Development Corporation to take over the land because they've been so successful transforming Canalside on Buffalo's inner harbor, where more than one-million people are expected to visit next year.
N-F-T-A Chairman Howard Zemsky issued a statement Monday saying in part, "A fuller understanding of the NFTA costs would have to include approximately $2 million in acquisition cost, and an additional $3 million in NFTA investment over the past five years....Additionally, since acquiring the Boat Harbor property, the NFTA has invested approximately $7 million in infrastructure and improvement. The NFTA has never insisted on recovering our full investment costs."

Here are few short explanations to demystify the meanings of our favorite symbols.
The Question Mark
The Exclamation Point
The Equals Sign
The Ampersand
The Octothorp
The Dollar
The Pound
The At Sign
However, its traditional usage was superseded in the 1990s when the symbol was adopted to indicate the location of an email address at a particular domain (or indeed to indicate direction). Programmers also use it in various languages but its use is inconsistent to say the least.
So at became, well, at – and as such is the only one of our symbols to radically change its meaning to a majority of people while remaining intact.
The Asterisk
It came back to the big time in the twentieth century. Yet its meaning to us now has altered somewhat along with, on many occasions, its name. As well as linking passages the asterisk is often used to represent missing letters, most often from expletives. If you don't give a f**k but do not want to give too much offense, then you will use an asterisk (or two). Plus, it has an abundance of uses in IT. Computer scientists use the asterisk in regular expressions to denote zero and it is used in command line interfaces as a wildcard. If you use Excel or any number of programming languages then you will use it to multiply: 4*4 is 16 and so on. The list could go on. However, you will probably call it star rather than asterisk for all of the above.

Live your Unitarian Universalist values out loud. Make your year-end gift today!
About Us
Press Room
Page Navigation
While freedom and independence were among the first concerns of those who founded the first Universalist churches and the precursors to the Unitarian churches, so, too, was association. The ideas of freedom and order have been held in tension throughout our history, often reflecting the push-pull to centralize and then again decentralize denominational authority.
Over the centuries, there have been a number of ways Unitarian and Universalist churches have joined together in association. Some ways have been formal, such as national conventions, and some have been informal, such as local ministers' gatherings. Some ways have been ecclesiastical, such as to settle church disputes or to fellowship ministers. Other ways have been administrative, such as to print religious tracts or to raise funds for missionary work.
The Cambridge Platform, the foundational document of the New England Standing Order Churches that would later form the core of Unitarianism in the nineteenth century, called for congregations to cooperate and support one another. No structure was defined for this cooperation, but, early on, ministers' councils gathered to discuss the issues of the day. Over time these ecclesiastical councils took on the work of settling local disputes and assuring fit candidates for the ministry.
In the mid-eighteenth century, the itinerant preachers of the Great Awakening presented a new kind of challenge to the established churches. When ministers not associated with a single, fixed church came to town and preached their version of religion to all who came to hear, local societies could no longer count on orthodoxy of belief among the townspeople or impose discipline. Improved travel presented a challenge to the authority of locally based ecclesiastical councils, as it became possible in times of dispute for a minister or church to gather a council from the societies most likely to support their position. By early in the nineteenth century tensions were rising between liberal and conservative factions in the Standing Order churches. Between 1825 and 1835, some established churches split along Unitarian and Trinitarian lines. The newly emerging Unitarian churches were autonomous. The American Unitarian Association (AUA), headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, was founded in 1825 as a voluntary association of individuals, not congregations. Its goal was simply to provide printed tracts and missionary support to advance the young Unitarian movement. In 1865, at the urging of Henry Whitney Bellows, the National Conference was started as the first Unitarian ecclesiastical body on a national level. The following year, the National Conference organized fourteen districts (known as local conferences), though each local group had its own focus, ranging from discussion to mission. In 1911, the National Conference was renamed the General Conference, and in 1925 was rolled into the AUA, bringing administrative and ecclesiastical functions together in one body.
Like the Unitarians, the Universalists followed a system of congregational polity from the very beginning. The first Universalist church, in Gloucester, Massachusetts, was gathered by covenant. One of their number, John Murray, called to be the minister.
Although the Universalist churches had no founding document like the Cambridge Platform calling them into association with each other, they met on ecclesiastical matters from the earliest days. In 1785, just six years after the Gloucester church was founded, the Universalist churches met at a convention in Oxford, Massachusetts. In 1790, seventeen Universalists representing eight societies met as the Philadelphia Convention and drew up articles of faith and an organizational plan. Similar conventions would be held in the following decades.
The New England Convention of Universalists was the strongest of the several geographically-defined associations, and in 1803 Convention delegates from 35 societies assumed the right to define a statement of belief for all Universalists in the Winchester Profession. The Convention also formalized the plan of church government created at the Philadelphia Convention into a Plan of General Association that called for annual meetings, regular representation by local churches, and the credentialing and discipline of ministers.
Beginning in 1825, state conventions were organized and delegates were chosen from informal local associations. The states in turn sent delegates to the larger area conventions. In 1833, the New England Convention became the General Convention of Universalists in the United States, the single national organization. However, the General Convention suffered from unequal representation and low attendance, and there were calls for increased centralization. In 1865, the Convention instituted its first professional administrative positions to bring stronger leadership to the national level, though in reality the state conventions retained a good deal of power.
The nineteenth century was a time ripe for cooperation not only among congregations, but also in affinity groups that shared common interests or goals. Missionary societies, associations of women, religious educators, young people, and publishing houses arose to unite Unitarians and Universalists alike (for more information see Workshops 11 and 16).
Early in the twentieth century, Universalists began to build a central organization for bureaucratic functions. In 1919 the Universalist General Convention opened its first national headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts, and ecclesiastical and administrative functions were combined in the General Convention. In 1938 the Convention became the Universalist Church of America (UCA).
The consolidation of the AUA and UCA in 1961 retained many of the associational aspects of both denominations. Like both denominations, the new structure had three tiers: autonomous congregations, geographically- based districts, and the national organization providing administrative and ecclesiastical functions. The General Assembly, which transacts the business of the association, continues to be made up of delegates from local congregations. While structure and procedure differ in many ways from what came before, the essential points of congregational polity remain as a heritage from both Universalist and Unitarian denominations.
Unitarian Universalists, thus, continue to live with the natural tension between independence and association, freedom and order. We continue to embody the words of the Cambridge Platform of 1648 that "although churches be distinct, and therefore may not be confounded one with another, and equal, and therefore have not dominion one over another; yet all the churches ought to preserve church communion one with another."

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) -- Emergency officials in Memphis are teaming up with federal agencies to create a network of river gauges and weather monitoring stations along Mississippi River tributaries to better monitor the waterways that overflowed and caused hundreds to evacuate their homes last year.
Shelby County Office of Preparedness director Bob Nations tells The Associated Press that the new gauges and weather stations will provide real-time information about water heights, river activity and rainfall levels along the Wolf and Loosahatchie rivers and the Nonconnah Creek.
Those three Mississippi River tributaries caused much of the flooding in the Memphis area in April and May of 2011. About 2,000 homes and businesses were affected in some way by flood waters in Shelby County, but no deaths were reported.

New curriculum on death penalty invites dialog, not debate
Somehow, the story and scope of the death penalty disappeared from the headlines of our newspapers and cable news in recent years in America. An issue that dominated the headlines not too long ago, it seems overshadowed by the contemporary obsession with terrorism, elevated threat levels and uranium enrichment projects in the Middle East. America is so focused on the hypothetical situations of "outside" invasion that there is little room to consider what is happening within our own government and our own justice system. Jeffrey Spencer attempts to illumine an issue that in recent years is overshadowed by other catastrophes. I believe what Spencer is trying to tell us in A Death Penalty Curriculum is that the stories and statistics surrounding the death penalty are worth re-considering in our churches and communities of faith.
Although Spencer is quick to explicate the injustice surrounding death row, he does not make a decision for us. Using three distinct methodologies, he asks us to consider this issue as not black or white, but rather many shades of grey. His approach to considering the death penalty could be used by any community, but I believe it will be most helpful to Christian churches and Christian-based organizations wishing to enter into an open and honest dialogue regarding the death penalty. Spencer uses statistics, Scripture and story to open the conversation—not the debate—about the death penalty.
The raw data includes a close examination of the realities of the justice system and the evident racism and prejudice involved in such an ultimate punishment. Even with new developments in DNA research in recent years, the debate is still raging about false accusations and innocent men and women on death row.
Perhaps most compelling are the stories Spencer includes. A Death Penalty Curriculum includes written testimonies of death row inmates and a DVD companion of one man's journey through interrogation, accusations, conviction, the court systems, lawyers, appeal processes and the raw reality of becoming a "dead man walking." The personal stories remind the community that the death penalty is not a legal issue, a doctrinal issue, or even a justice issue. The problem of the death penalty is a relationship issue.
This curriculum does not make a decision or choose sides; rather it calls for an open and honest dialogue. I believe this curriculum calls for a shift in how we approach our understanding of the death penalty. Spencer frames the question differently than we are used to hearing it. The question is not, "Is it right or wrong?" but rather, "Is the death penalty reinforcing a vision of justice for our communities, our country, and ultimately our world?" If justice is indeed about bringing right order to things, does our American legal system bring order or create chaos?
I appreciated Spencer's research, careful use of Scripture and attention to the real life stories of those whose lives are affected by the death penalty. I believe that any church or community who feels social justice to be at the core of their identity should take the time to explore or perhaps re-explore the issue of the death penalty using Jeffrey Spencer's A Death Penalty Curriculum.

This image below was sent to us this morning by a employee of Facebook Netherlands in Amsterdam, who is currently participating in the test. As you can see, it displays the option to pay with Bitcoin on the Facebook Ads payment setup page. Facebook is holding this test with all their locations around the world. Facebook advertising can be used to get more likes to your Facebook posts & pages. Their advertising platform is Facebook's primary form of revenue, and it is used daily by millions of businesses & individuals over the world. Any business is allowed to run ads, and setting up a campaign cost as little as $5. At this moment you can pay for advertising with a Creditcard, Paypal and FB Ad coupons. It is not yet clear when the option to pay with Bitcoins becomes available for the public, but this confirms that they are at least very interested in the crypto currency, and willing to integrate it into their website. If the company currently holds Bitcoins or is actively buying them is unclear. Last year a former Facebook executive said in an interview that he had BTC & had invested a lot in it. He even went as far as calling it a "Gold 2.0″. You can watch that interview below: 2014-01-05 +Bitcoin Board Share ! tweet

CP Ships CEO Ray Miles added, "We are delighted to achieve this excellent outcome for our shareholders following our Board's strong recommendation of the TUI offer."CP was halted Wednesday at $21.49.

[589] microRNA Expression Array Identifies Novel Diagnostic Markers for Conventional and Oncocytic Follicular Thyroid Carcinomas
Matthias Dettmer, Mary Beth Durso, Paul Komminoth, Holger Moch, Aurel Perren, Yuri E Nikiforov, Marina N Nikiforova. University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh; Triemlispital, Zurich, Switzerland; University Hospital, Zurich, Switzerland; University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland
Background: Follicular carcinoma (FTC) and oncocytic follicular carcinoma (oFTC) represent thyroid tumors that frequently pose diagnostic challenge, both on cytologic and histopathologic analysis. Several miRNAs have been previously reported as reliable markers in conventional papillary thyroid carcinomas, however, limited information is available for FTC and oFTC. The aim of this study was to identify candidate miRNA markers that can be used diagnostically.
Design: Forty two follicular thyroid carcinomas (21 FTC, 21 oFTC) and 11 normal thyroid tissues were studied for expression of 380 miRNAs using Human Microarray Assays (Applied Biosystems) on ABI7900. miRNAs were isolated using Trizol reagents from frozen thyroid tissue (n=18) and using RecoverAll Total Nucleic Acid kit (Ambion) from FFPE tissue specimens (n=24). Data analysis was performed with Data Assist v3.0 (Applied Biosystems) program. Expression of candidate miRNA markers was individually validated in all samples by RT-PCR.
Results: Both types of folicular carcinomas (FTC and oFTC) demonstrated deregulatation in miRNA expression as compared to normal thyroid tissue with significant number of downregulated miRNAs and several upregulated miRNAs. Overall, the levels of miRNA expression were different between these tumor groups and the unsupevised hierarchical clustering analysis revealed individual cluster for oFTC and FTC. miRNAs upregulated in both tumor types were miR-182 (3-8 folds), miR-183 (4-7 folds), miR-221 (3-30 folds), and miR-222 (2-10 folds) and miRNAs strongly (>4 folds) downregulated were 199a-3p and miR-455-5p. Moreover, extremely high upregulation of miR-885-5p (34-56 folds, p<0.01) was detected only in oFTC.
Conclusions: This study shows different miRNA expression profiles in FTC and oFTC, supporting a notion that they represent independent tumor subtypes. Several miRNAs were found sugnificantly upregulated and downregulated in follicular carcinomas as compared to normal thyroid. miR-885-5p is a novel miRNA found to be highly upregulated in oFTCs and can be used as a diagnostic marker of oFTC in surgical and FNA samples.

Bulls Are Hungry for Tyson Foods
By David Russell, reporter at OptionMonster
NEW YORK -- Tyson Foods (TSN) pulled back on Friday after a big rally, and the momentum bulls jumped on board.
OptionMonster's tracking programs detected the purchase of about 4,100 April 24 calls for 45 cents and 50 cents. Volume slightly exceeded previous open interest at the strike, indicating that new money was put to work on the long side.
Calls lock in the price where investors can buy shares in the meat and poultry company. That will give them significant leverage to the upside if it bounces in the next two weeks, but the contracts will lose most of their value if it doesn't.Tyson shares fell 2.71% to $24.03 on Friday. The stock is up 24% so far this year and is trying to hold support around its February peaks near $24. Earnings are due on May 6 -- after the April options expire -- so the trader is purely betting on a quick bounce. The activity pushed total option volume in the name to six times greater than average in the session. Russell has no positions in TSN.

LAWRENCEVILLE -- It's a tab that would take 100 years for even the most regular Rexall Grill patron to rack up.
The Duluth greasy spoon owes $248,400 in taxes from the past five years. With interest, penalties and a collection fee, the number soars to $500,336.60.
Proprietor Sandra "Gail" Herrin was given the delinquent bill May 24 and was forced to close Wednesday.
Herrin has not returned a phone call seeking comment, but Linda Alley, the pharmacist who owns Rexall Drugs and the name, location and furnishings for Rexall Grill, said her business partner was overwhelmed following the death of her husband.
Alley has no hard feelings and plans to hire Herrin as manager after a public auction of Herrin's company assets are sold. Since Alley owned all the restaurant equipment, that leaves the tables and Coca-Cola memorabilia that adorned the walls for the July 6 auction.
Then, Alley plans to reopen the restaurant under her own business license.
As a Duluth mainstay for 41 years, patrons are anxiously awaiting the return of the restaurant, as Alley plans to rehire all of the workers and keep the menu. The only thing that will change, she said, is she will take control of the finances.
That returns the famous grill to the previous management design, which Leonard Anglin began in 1969, when he opened the grill as part of a pharmacy shop run by his son.
"Nobody gave me a head's up it was a problem, said Alley, who bought the pharmacy from Anglin in 1998, when Herrin began running the grill on her own, renting the space.
If all goes well with the auction and health inspections, Alley hopes to reopen the grill July 7 or 8.
"I think in the long run, this will be a blessing for her and for me," Alley said Thursday.

Somehow we fail to see the problems that are plaguing the city of Shelbyville and its leaders in regards to getting a curbside trash and recycling franchise agreement put together.
Once the ordinance was approved this spring, all that was left was for the council to submit the Request for Proposal and wait for the bids from Republic, Rumpke and Waste Management to come in.
A new name will quickly be acquainted to Shelby County as Betty Springate takes over as our new Distict Court Judge serving Shelby, Anderson and Spencer counties.
Mrs. Springate takes over the position after longtime judge Linda Armstrong retired in March.
Mrs. Springate brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the position that she will hold until the first of the year. And she will alleviate a great deal of pressure and work from Judge Donna Dutton, who was serving for both Division I and II.
When I moved back to Shelby County several years ago, I was driving east from KY 55 onto Interstate 64 when an idea nearly hit me right in the side of my SUV or maybe right between my eyes.
Because that notion arrived dangerously quickly with the 75-mph motion of oncoming traffic into which I was trying to merge or arose frighteningly fast in front of me in the form of the guardrail at the end of the acceleration lane on that ramp. I can't be sure which, because each seemed about to christen me with opportunity.
Questions redistricting choices
Each year in late August, the Shelby County Public Schools (SCPS) Board of Education produces "The Tax Show." This year, the Board has added a new production to its theatrical repertoire, and, on June 26th, I attended what might best be described as the dress rehearsal for "Redistricting, Mathis Style."
As you plan your holiday weekend barbeque – or hot dog feast, whichever (see our Neighbors Section) – and family get together, take a minute, or more, to remember that this is more than just a day off from work.
So often Memorial Day, Labor Day, Veteran's Day and the 4th of July are treated as mere days off work, a way to jump start a weekend or plan a party or extended weekend out of town, but we'd all do better to take time to remember what those days mean and why they're recognized as days off.

As you can probably see from the thread I am trying to find out when the rapture will take place, pre, mid or post tribulation.
At this moment I am convinced the rapture will take place pre-tribulation, before the revealing of the antichrist.
I have this conviction because the Lord promised to deliver us from the hour of trial.
Revelation 3:10
10'Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.
And 1 Thessalonians 5:9
9For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
I use the nasb, please read your preferred Bible.
I am praying about this, and asking God to give me direction. If I believe in pre-tribulation rapture that means the Lord will come with a loud shout and the second coming will take place after the revealing of the antichrist.
I know confusion does not come from God, but I am confused.

@SZapper - Yeah, I think media coverage can be suspect too. Sometimes I try to get my US news from international sources that might be less biased.
Either way though, I try to avoid television and Internet coverage that is too graphic. I would personally rather read about it in print than watch it unfold.

ImgView and CMYK ICC Profile Support in TIFF
I have modified libtiff some more to make TIFFReadRGBAImage() return CMYK data as CMYK instead of RGBA. As a consequence, ImgView now supports CMYK ICC profiles in TIFF as well.

Updates to ImgView Color Management
ImgView now supports RGB, Gray and CMYK profiles in JPEG, and RGB and Gray ICC profiles in TIFF and PNG. Furthermore, it is now possible to define default RGB, Gray and CMYK profiles for images without an embedded ICC profile.

Rare Seizure Disorder Gives Clues About Brain's Laughter Center
Brain lesions in the hypothalamus trigger laughing seizures, study shows
SUNDAY, Dec. 4 (HealthDay News) -- A region of the brain known as the hypothalamus may be responsible for laughter, new research suggests.
Researchers from Stanford University and Barrow Neurological Institute studied 100 people with a rare disorder, gelastic epilepsy, which is characterized by laughing seizures.
The participants were placed into groups: those with laughing seizures only, those with laughing seizures as well as other types of seizures and those with additional symptoms of brain impairment and early puberty.
In all cases, those with gelastic epilepsy had a congenital brain lesion (called a hamartoma) in a specific region of the hypothalamus.
The study was scheduled to be presented Sunday at the American Epilepsy Society's annual meeting in Baltimore. Because this study was presented at a medical meeting, the data and conclusions should be viewed as preliminary until published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Eager to signal a new age of royal prudence, Queen Victoria's coronation ceremony in 1837 had contained little historical pageantry. To compensate for this restraint, and to help stimulate local trade, newly married, she hosted three ornate costume balls with Prince Albert. Having chosen a fourteenth-century theme for the initial event, held in May 1842, they appeared as Queen Philippa of Hainault and Edward III. Lithographs such as this one publicised how the Queen looked on the night, wearing a costume modelled for accuracy on the tomb effigies of her predecessors, but clearly modified to accommodate Victorian corsetry.
