Bashian Verona Floral Flakes Ivory Rug
Item #: 362R130CHOCLC124-P Add to Wishlist
Description: An extensive collection of transitional and contemporary patterns in a textured, loop and cut, tufted construction. Pleasing designs in fresh, new colorations are enhanced by subtle abrash.
- Collection: Verona
- Brand: Bashian
- Material: 100% Wool
- Weave: Hand Tufted
- Styles: Transitional Rugs
- Origin: India
- Available in the following sizes: 2' 6" x 8', 3' 6" x 5' 6", 5' x 7' 6", 7' 6" x 9' 6" and 8' 6" x 11' 6"
- Clean & Care: Vacuum regularly as new wool rugs can shed yarn fibers for up to three months. Avoid direct and continuous exposure to sunlight. Do not pull loose ends, clip them with scissors to remove. Clean liquid spills immediately by blotting with cloth or sponge. For hard to remove stains, professional rug cleaning is recommended.
Love this rug. Searched all over for a grey & gold rug for our family room. Another reviewer said the background wasn't grey, but it is...it's just a warm grey. Also has gold, bronzey brown, cream, and a soft sage green (the green doesn't stand out a lot). Very classy looking rug. The only issue is that it sheds a lot (being wool) and the loop type design also pulls... But overall, I'm very happy with the rug.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.Received this purchase in a very timely manner. I am very impressed with the quality of this rug. The raised floral pattern is a high quality touch. The only compliant is that there is more blue in the actual rug then appears in this picture of the rug. It worked out in my case to be a nice accent.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I got this as a runner in gray and absolutely love it! I'd just installed a mosaic backsplash in my master bath and the colors in this rug pick up those colors. I know...wool in a bathroom...but I never get water all over the place. Anyway, I love that the pattern is raised, as it really makes the design "pop" and makes the rug look super expensive. I like it so much that I'm ordering the exact same rug (but as a 42" x 66" size) for over by the shower area. Note: the flower design part is hand-tufted. The background part is actually hand-hooked or looped. Also, I'd be hard pressed to really call the background gray. It's more of a brown with a gray tint and is darker than it looked on my computer screen (looks sort of light gray to me on there). This still goes well with my decor.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I absolutely love my new area rugs! The delivery came exactly as promised and the quality of the rugs is fabulous. The colors are just like the pictures online and the feel of the rug is very luxurious!! I am a very happy customer!!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I ended up returning this item. I was not happy with the feel of the rug. It is a rough wool, not soft and plush like I was hoping for. I also do not like that rugs usa does not allow for free returns. I will never buy from them again due to that.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.Fill out the information below.

Preschool and elementary school children and their families are among those at the greatest risk of exposure to head lice. Girls get head lice more often than boys and women more than men. Head lice is most often found on the scalp behind the ears and near the neckline at the back of the neck. The lice hold onto hair with the hook-like claws they have at the ends of each of their six legs.
The Signs
How do you know if your child has head lice? These signs are a good indication:
- Feeling of tickling or crawling in hair
- Itching or scratching
- Irritability, especially at night
- Sores on the head due to scratching
- Eggs or lice seen in the hair
Other symptoms of head lice may include fever, headache, rash, and swollen lymph nodes.
Where Do the Little Critters Come From?
The most common causes of head lice include:
- Having contact with an already infested person during play at school or home
- Using infested combs, brushes, or towels
- Lying on a bed, couch, pillow, carpet, or stuffed animal that has recently been in contact with an infested person
No School?
While some experts recommend that children miss school and parents miss work due to head lice, others do not. Each school district has its own policies, so check with the officials at your child's school.
How to Get Rid of the Little Critters
When you find head lice, spring into action as quickly as you can. Your first priority should be to get rid of lice eggs, called nits, in order to end the life cycle.
If your doctor recommends a shampoo, follow the directions carefully. Then wash all bedding and clothing in hot water and dry them in a dryer using high heat. Vacuum floors, beds, chairs, car seats, and headrests—any place that the person with lice has been. Soak combs and brushes in hot water for 5-10 minutes.
It is important to use appropriate products to treat lice.
Examples of medicines used to treat head lice include:
- Over-the-counter products, such as those containing pyrethrin or permethrin
- Prescription products, such as lindane and malathione—These may be prescribed because some cases of head lice are resistant to pyrethrin and permethrin.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes a warning on prescription shampoos and lotions containing lindane because, in rare cases, it can cause serious side effects, including seizure and death. Those especially at risk include:
- Infants
- Children
- Elderly
- People weighing less than 110 pounds
- People with certain skin conditions
If you are given a prescription for lindane, carefully follow the instructions. For more information, visit http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/PostmarketDrugSafetyInformationforPatientsandProviders/ucm110848.htm .
A fine-toothed comb designed to capture and remove the lice and nits often comes with the medicated shampoo. A lice comb is the standard for lice detection and removal. The teeth of the comb should be long and tapered and set so close that combing removes virtually all lice and nits. This comb can be used to check for the presence of the lice after treatment
Beware Unproven Treatments
Herbal Remedies
There are many unproven head lice remedies. The biggest problem with using these herbs is that if they do not work, the head lice population can increase unchecked, worsening the infestation and associated symptoms.
Some herbal remedies, though, have shown to be effective in clinical trials. An example is a spray that contains coconut oil and anise. If you are unsure of which product to use, talk to your doctor.
Other Treatments
Others are experimenting with suffocating the head lice by covering the hair with mayonnaise or olive oil and wrapping the head in plastic wrap overnight. There is no evidence that these methods work either. The multiple shampooing required to remove the oil from the hair can also irritate an already itchy head.
Tips for Preventing Head Lice
There are ways to prevent getting head lice. Some steps you can take include the following:
- Avoid head-to-head contact
- Do not share clothing or hair accessories
- Do not share combs, brushes, or towels
Keep Checking
Some people report that despite vigilance and treatment, the lice keep coming back. Be sure to continue checking for lice regularly. If the treatment did not work, let your doctor know as another medicine may need to be used. As much as no one wants to reveal that they have head lice, it is important to warn friends who may have been exposed. After spending weeks to eliminate the lice, you do not want your child to pick it up all over again from his pals.

Then my mom started racing also. I'm now 33 and all of are still doing it. My parents were into the car sceen then my brother(denvercuda) so I followed. Hopefully we can pass down our love of cars to our kids also.

Celebration of life services will immediately follow beginning at 11 a.m. Saturday, December 22, 2012, at Ray Funeral Home. Interment will be in Indianola City Cemetery.
Mrs. Harris was born in Memphis, Tenn., on January 24, 1934, to Grover Owen and Agnes Young Braswell, both now deceased. Ann graduated from Sunflower Agriculture High School in Moorhead in 1950. After attending Sunflower Junior College, she transferred to Mississippi Southern College. Ann was a member of the Dixie Darlings and the Kappa Delta Sorority. After marrying Robert Charles Harris, she transferred to the University of Mississippi where she graduated. After graduation Ann began a teaching career that spanned over 40 years. The majority of that time was with the Greenville Mississippi Public School System. Ann was an active and respected part of both her social and professional communities. She is a past president of the American Association of University Women; she was an active member of her local church, participating in numerous church and community activities; she was an active member of The Red Hat Society; and she was a member of several bridge clubs. Ann demonstrated her courage and love for life as she battled cancer for the final five years of her life, while still maintaining an active and productive lifestyle.
Ann was preceded in death by her parents; her long-time husband, Bobby Harris; and more recently her second husband, Hal Willis.
She is survived by her children, Charles "Chuck" Owen Harris (Gail) of Louisville, Ky., Melissa "Missy" Harris Washington (Kent) of Cleveland, Robert Graham Harris of Spring, Texas, and Joseph "Joe" Charles Harris (Denise) of Jackson; sister, Bette Nell Braswell Hutto (Fred) of Byram; six grandchildren; and great-grandchildren.
Ann, better known as "Bea" to her grandchildren and many others who were a part of her circle of close friends, will be missed. She had a gift of creating a positive sense of excitement in otherwise routine situations.
Donations in Ann's memory and honor can be made to The American Cancer Society.

I love all of the OB doctors in the group practice I've been going to...except one. I just met him a few days ago and he is SUPER CREEPY. He made me uneasy (almost nauseous) and I wanted to run out of the exam room! I thought it was just in my head, but I've since talked to a couple other mamas (one is still prego and the other already had her baby), and they felt the same about him. They both said they prayed they didn't get him for the last month of pregnancy (all the exam checks) or delivery. EEK!
Can I tell the practice that I don't want to see him or receive treatment from him ever again? Or do I keep my mouth shut? I have never met anyone who gave me the creeps like he did!
I'm sorry you had to feel that way at what should have been a happy appointment for you. Thankfully I've never had an OB/GYN like this. My sister did one time though and never went back. She went to an GYN and the guy was about her age and started asking her questions while doing an examine, asking her if she was married and liked to date and if she dated men or women. It was insane. If I were you I would pick a few of the docs that you really like there and every time you make an appointment ask for one of them. That way if you pick a few that you like you should always be able to see at least one of them if the others aren't there the day of your appointment. The bad thing is, is that if you go into labor and the doc you don't like is on call you wont have a choice but to have him deliver. Thankfully the nurses do most of the work until it's time to push lol. I hope it all works out for you. Good luck.
I would for sure let them know. If you feel like that then there may be other women who feel the same. Let the staff know you want it noted in your charts to not be seen by him. There is NO reason what so ever that you should be uncomfortable everytime you go to the doc because of a creeper!

What Features to look for before you Buy an Industrial Machine
There are things that are difficult to quantify when you're talking embroidery machines. Reliability and ease of use are both vitally important, but frankly, there's just no way to put numbers on those that don't depend somewhat on the operator.
So if you can't measure those, what FEATURES of each machine can you compare that will actually make a difference in how much money you can make and how fast you can produce designs?
Sewing Field Size
The sewing field size determines the size of the design you can make. There are work-arounds you can use to cheat the system, but in a production environment where you might be running your single head embroidery machine for 6 or 8 hours a day and deviation from the norm will cost you more money than you'll earn doing it.
A great example of the difference in sewing field size is comparing the Brother Entrepreneur Pro with the Avancé 1501C, both comparably priced at around $11K. The Brother Entrepreneur Pro has 8X14" field size while the Avancé has an almost 15×20" – that will make a HUGE difference on a jacket back, or if you're going to create patches. The bigger the field, the bigger the design or the more patch designs you can embroider at once. For more on the Brother vs. the Avancé, read this Review and Compare article.
Automatic Oiling
This is one of the sleeper features that really make a big difference in time for you. An automatic oiling system is basically a reservoir of machine oil on your commercial embroidery machine. You fill up this ONE spot, and it will oil many different places simultaneously.
Because some of the spots you have to get to are tricky otherwise, this is a big deal feature. It will save you time and improve your overall maintenance because someone will miss a spot otherwise! The Automatic oiling system is standard on many industrial systems, including the SWF line at www.swfeast.com.
Quick Change Cap System
Embroidering on caps is an extremely hot, and profitable, way to make it in apparel decorating right now. Baseball caps for Little League or local sports teams, company logos, you name it, are all popular items.
When you're busy, switching from caps to a flats – going from making a baseball cap to embroidering a company logo on a polo shirt for example – can be the difference between a productive day or not. Even though it doesn't take more than 5 minutes on any machine that I'm aware of, that time adds up over the year(s) and can definitely impact your profits.
SWF Embroidery Machines, single and multi head systems, have by far the best and easiest way to switch between caps and flats. This video will show you why.
The Avancé has the most cumbersome cap system, where you must unscrew several allen nuts to change from flats to caps. The Tajima commercial machines have a kind of dial system, still slow, but at least you don't need any tools. But the SWF system is clearly the best. Imagine if you have a 6 or an 8 head machine and have to switch, how much time you'll save!
Don't let descriptive terms sway your decision. Look for real FEATURES that you can see, touch and do before you choose your commercial industrial embroidery machine.

Brotherly love is the effect of the new birth, which makes obedience to all God's commandments pleasant. (1-5) Reference to witnesses agreeing to prove that Jesus, the Son of God, is the true Messiah. (6-8) The satisfaction the believer has about Christ, and eternal life through him. (9-12) The assurance of God's hearing and answering prayer. (13-17) The happy condition of true believers, and a charge to renounce all idolatry. (18-21)
Verses 1-5 True love for the people of God, may be distinguished from natural kindness or party attachments, by its being united with the love of God, and obedience to his commands. The same Holy Spirit that taught the love, will have taught obedience also; and that man cannot truly love the children of God, who, by habit, commits sin or neglects known duty. As God's commands are holy, just, and good rules of liberty and happiness, so those who are born of God and love him, do not count them grievous, but lament that they cannot serve him more perfectly. Self-denial is required, but true Christians have a principle which carries them above all hinderances. Though the conflict often is sharp, and the regenerate may be cast down, yet he will rise up and renew his combat with resolution. But all, except believers in Christ, are enslaved in some respect or other, to the customs, opinions, or interests of the world. Faith is the cause of victory, the means, the instrument, the spiritual armour by which we overcome. In and by faith we cleave to Christ, in contempt of, and in opposition to the world. Faith sanctifies the heart, and purifies it from those sensual lusts by which the world obtains sway and dominion over souls. It has the indwelling Spirit of grace, which is greater than he who dwells in the world. The real Christian overcomes the world by faith; he sees, in and by the life and conduct of the Lord Jesus on earth, that this world is to be renounced and overcome. He cannot be satisfied with this world, but looks beyond it, and is still tending, striving, and pressing toward heaven. We must all, after Christ's example, overcome the world, or it will overcome us to our ruin.
Verses 6-8 We are inwardly and outwardly defiled; inwardly, by the power and pollution of sin in our nature. For our cleansing there is in and by Christ Jesus, the washing of regeneration and the renewing of the Holy Ghost. Some think that the two sacraments are here meant: baptism with water, as the outward sign of regeneration, and purifying from the pollution of sin by the Holy Spirit; and the Lord's supper, as the outward sign of the shedding Christ's blood, and the receiving him by faith for pardon and justification. Both these ways of cleansing were represented in the old ceremonial sacrifices and cleansings. This water and blood include all that is necessary to our salvation. By the water, our souls are washed and purified for heaven and the habitation of saints in light. By the blood, we are justified, reconciled, and presented righteous to God. By the blood, the curse of the law being satisfied, the purifying Spirit is obtained for the internal cleansing of our natures. The water, as well as the blood, came out of the side of the sacrificed Redeemer. He loved the church, and gave himself for it, that he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word; that he might present it to himself a glorious church, ( Ephesians 5:25-27 ) . This was done in and by the Spirit of God, according to the Saviour's declaration. He is the Spirit of God, and cannot lie. Three had borne witness to these doctrines concerning the person and the salvation of Christ. The Father, repeatedly, by a voice from heaven declared that Jesus was his beloved Son. The Word declared that He and the Father were One, and that whoever had seen him had seen the Father. And the Holy Ghost, who descended from heaven and rested on Christ at his baptism; who had borne witness to Him by all the prophets; and gave testimony to his resurrection and mediatorial office, by the gift of miraculous powers to the apostles. But whether this passage be cited or not, the doctrine of the Trinity in Unity stands equally firm and certain. To the doctrine taught by the apostles, respecting the person and salvation of Christ, there were three testimonies. 1. The Holy Spirit. We come into the world with a corrupt, carnal disposition, which is enmity to God. This being done away by the regeneration and new-creating of souls by the Holy Spirit, is a testimony to the Saviour. 2. The water: this sets forth the Saviour's purity and purifying power. The actual and active purity and holiness of his disciples are represented by baptism. 3. The blood which he shed: and this was our ransom, this testifies for Jesus Christ; it sealed up and finished the sacrifices of the Old Testament. The benefits procured by his blood, prove that he is the Saviour of the world. No wonder if he that rejects this evidence is judged a blasphemer of the Spirit of God. These three witnesses are for one and the same purpose; they agree in one and the same thing.
Verses 9-12 Nothing can be more absurd than the conduct of those who doubt as to the truth of Christianity, while in the common affairs of life they do not hesitate to proceed on human testimony, and would deem any one out of his senses who declined to do so. The real Christian has seen his guilt and misery, and his need of such a Saviour. He has seen the suitableness of such a Saviour to all his spiritual wants and circumstances. He has found and felt the power of the word and doctrine of Christ, humbling, healing, quickening, and comforting his soul. He has a new disposition, and new delights, and is not the man that he formerly was. Yet he finds still a conflict with himself, with sin, with the flesh, the world, and wicked powers. But he finds such strength from faith in Christ, that he can overcome the world, and travel on towards a better. Such assurance has the gospel believer: he has a witness in himself, which puts the matter out of doubt with him, except in hours of darkness or conflict; but he cannot be argued out of his belief in the leading truths of the gospel. Here is what makes the unbeliever's sin so awful; the sin of unbelief. He gives God the lie; because he believes not the record that God gave of his Son. It is in vain for a man to plead that he believes the testimony of God in other things, while he rejects it in this. He that refuses to trust and honour Christ as the Son of God, who disdains to submit to his teaching as Prophet, to rely on his atonement and intercession as High Priest, or to obey him as King, is dead in sin, under condemnation; nor will any outward morality, learning, forms, notions, or confidences avail him.
Verses 13-17 Upon all this evidence, it is but right that we believe on the name of the Son of God. Believers have eternal life in the covenant of the gospel. Then let us thankfully receive the record of Scripture. Always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that our labour is not in vain in the Lord. The Lord Christ invites us to come to him in all circumstances, with our supplications and requests, notwithstanding the sin that besets us. Our prayers must always be offered in submission to the will of God. In some things they are speedily answered; in others they are granted in the best manner, though not as requested. We ought to pray for others, as well as for ourselves. There are sins that war against spiritual life in the soul, and the life above. We cannot pray that the sins of the impenitent and unbelieving should, while they are such, be forgiven them; or that mercy, which supposes the forgiveness of sins, should be granted to them, while they wilfully continue such. But we may pray for their repentance, for their being enriched with faith in Christ, and thereupon for all other saving mercies. We should pray for others, as well as for ourselves, beseeching the Lord to pardon and recover the fallen, as well as to relieve the tempted and afflicted. And let us be truly thankful that no sin, of which any one truly repents, is unto death.
Verses 18-21 All mankind are divided into two parties or dominions; that which belongs to God, and that which belongs to the wicked one. True believers belong to God: they are of God, and from him, and to him, and for him; while the rest, by far the greater number, are in the power of the wicked one; they do his works, and support his cause. This general declaration includes all unbelievers, whatever their profession, station, or situation, or by whatever name they may be called. The Son leads believers to the Father, and they are in the love and favour of both; in union with both, by the indwelling and working of the Holy Spirit. Happy are those to whom it is given to know that the Son of God is come, and to have a heart to trust in and rely on him that is true! May this be our privilege; we shall thus be kept from all idols and false doctrines, and from the idolatrous love of worldly objects, and be kept by the power of God, through faith, unto eternal salvation. To this living and true God, be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
1 John 5:1-21 . WHO ARE THE BRETHREN ESPECIALLY TO BE LOVED ( 1 John 4:21 ); OBEDIENCE, THE TEST OF LOVE, EASY THROUGH FAITH, WHICH OVERCOMES THE WORLD. LAST PORTION OF THE EPISTLE. THE SPIRIT'S WITNESS TO THE BELIEVER'S SPIRITUAL LIFE. TRUTHS REPEATED AT THE CLOSE: FAREWELL WARNING.
1. Reason why our "brother" ( 1 John 4:21 ) is entitled to such love, namely, because he is "born (begotten) of God": so that if we want to show our love to God, we must show it to God's visible representative.
Whosoever--Greek, "Everyone that." He could not be our "Jesus" (God-Saviour) unless He were "the Christ"; for He could not reveal the way of salvation, except He were a prophet: He could not work out that salvation, except He were a priest: He could not confer that salvation upon us, except He were a king: He could not be prophet, priest, and king, except He were the Christ [PEARSON, Exposition of the Creed].
born--Translate, "begotten," as in the latter part of the verse, the Greek being the same. Christ is the "only-begotten Son" by generation; we become begotten sons of God by regeneration and adoption.
every one that loveth him that begat--sincerely, not in mere profession ( 1 John 4:20 ).
loveth him also that is begotten of him--namely, "his brethren" ( 1 John 4:21 ).
2. By--Greek, "In." As our love to the brethren is the sign and test of our love to God, so (John here says) our love to God (tested by our "keeping his commandments") is, conversely, the ground and only true basis of love to our brother.
we know--John means here, not the outward criteria of genuine brotherly love, but the inward spiritual criteria of it, consciousness of love to God manifested in a hearty keeping of His commandments. When we have this inwardly and outwardly confirmed love to God, we can know assuredly that we truly love the children of God. "Love to one's brother is prior, according to the order of nature love to God is so, according to the order of grace ( 1 John 5:2 ). At one time the former is more immediately known, at another time the latter, according as the mind is more engaged in human relations or in what concerns the divine honor" [ESTIUS]. John shows what true love is, namely, that which is referred to God as its first object. As previously John urged the effect, so now he urges the cause. For he wishes mutual love to be so cultivated among us, as that God should always be placed first [CALVIN].
3. this is--the love of God consists in this.
not grievous--as so many think them. It is "the way of the transgressor" that "is hard." What makes them to the regenerate "not grievous," is faith which "overcometh the world" ( 1 John 5:4 ):in proportion as faith is strong, the grievousness of God's commandments to the rebellious flesh is overcome. The reason why believers feel any degree of irksomeness in God's commandments is, they do not realize fully by faith the privileges of their spiritual life.
5. Who--"Who" else "but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God:" "the Christ" ( 1 John 5:1 )? Confirming, by a triumphant question defying all contradiction, as an undeniable fact, 1 John 5:4 , that the victory which overcomes the world is faith. For it is by believing: that we are made one with Jesus the Son of God, so that we partake of His victory over the world, and have dwelling in us One greater than he who is in the world ( 1 John 4:4 ). "Survey the whole world, and show me even one of whom it can be affirmed with truth that he overcomes the world, who is not a Christian, and endowed with this faith" [EPISCOPIUS in ALFORD].
6. This--the Person mentioned in 1 John 5:5 . This Jesus.
he that came by water and blood--"by water," when His ministry was inaugurated by baptism in the Jordan, and He received the Father's testimony to His Messiahship and divine Sonship. Compare 1 John 5:5 , "believeth that Jesus is the Son of God," with John 1:33 John 1:34 , "The Spirit . . . remaining on Him . . . I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God"; and 1 John 5:8 , below, "there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood." Corresponding to this is the baptism of water and the Spirit which He has instituted as a standing seal and mean of initiatory incorporation with Him.
and blood--He came by "the blood of His cross" (so "by" is used, Hebrews 9:12 : "by," that is, with, "His own blood He entered in once into the holy place"): a fact seen and so solemnly witnessed to by John. "These two past facts in the Lord's life are this abiding testimony to us, by virtue of the permanent application to us of their cleansing and atoning power."
Jesus Christ--not a mere appellation, but a solemn assertion of the Lord's Person and Messiahship.
not by, &c.--Greek, "not IN the water only, but IN the water and IN (so oldest manuscripts add) the blood." As "by" implies the mean through, or with, which He came: so "in," the element in which He came. "The" implies that the water and the blood were sacred and well-known symbols. John Baptist came only baptizing with water, and therefore was not the Messiah. Jesus came first to undergo Himself the double baptism of water and blood, and then to baptize us with the Spirit-cleansing, of which water is the sacramental seal, and with His atoning blood, the efficacy of which, once for all shed, is perpetual in the Church; and therefore is the Messiah. It was His shed blood which first gave water baptism its spiritual significancy. We are baptized into His death: the grand point of union between us and Him, and, through Him, between us and God.
it is the Spirit, &c.--The Holy Spirit is an additional witness (compare 1 John 5:7 ), besides the water and the blood, to Jesus' Sonship and Messiahship. The Spirit attested these truths at Jesus' baptism by descending on Him, and throughout His ministry by enabling Him to speak and do what man never before or since has spoken or, done; and "it is the Spirit that beareth witness" of Christ, now permanently in the Church: both in the inspired New Testament Scriptures, and in the hearts of believers, and in the spiritual reception of baptism and the Lord's Supper.
because the Spirit is truth--It is His essential truth which gives His witness such infallible authority.
7. three--Two or three witnesses were required by law to constitute adequate testimony. The only Greek manuscripts in any form which support the words, "in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one; and there are three that bear witness in earth," are the Montfortianus of Dublin, copied evidently from the modern Latin Vulgate; the Ravianus, copied from the Complutensian Polyglot; a manuscript at Naples, with the words added in the Margin by a recent hand; Ottobonianus, 298, of the fifteenth century, the Greek of which is a mere translation of the accompanying Latin. All the old versions omit the words. The oldest manuscripts of the Vulgate omit them: the earliest Vulgate manuscript which has them being Wizanburgensis, 99, of the eighth century. A scholium quoted in Matthæi, shows that the words did not arise from fraud; for in the words, in all Greek manuscripts "there are three that bear record," as the Scholiast notices, the word "three" is masculine, because the three things (the Spirit, the water, and the blood) are SYMBOLS OF THE TRINITY. To this CYPRIAN, 196, also refers, "Of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, it is written, 'And these three are one' (a unity)." There must be some mystical truth implied in using "three" (Greek) in the masculine, though the antecedents, "Spirit, water, and blood," are neuter. That THE TRINITY was the truth meant is a natural inference: the triad specified pointing to a still Higher Trinity; as is plain also from 1 John 5:9 , "the witness of GOD," referring to the Trinity alluded to in the Spirit, water, and blood. It was therefore first written as a marginal comment to complete the sense of the text, and then, as early at least as the eighth century, was introduced into the text of the Latin Vulgate. The testimony, however, could only be borne on earth to men, not in heaven. The marginal comment, therefore, that inserted "in heaven," was inappropriate. It is on earth that the context evidently requires the witness of the three, the Spirit, the water, and the blood, to be borne: mystically setting forth the divine triune witnesses, the Father, the Spirit, and the Son. LUECKE notices as internal evidence against the words, John never uses "the Father" and "the Word" as correlates, but, like other New Testament writers, associates "the Son" with "the Father," and always refers "the Word" to "God" as its correlate, not "the Father." Vigilius, at the end of the fifth century, is the first who quotes the disputed words as in the text; but no Greek manuscript earlier than the fifteenth is extant with them. The term "Trinity" occurs first in the third century in TERTULLIAN [Against Praxeas, 3].
8. agree in one--"tend unto one result"; their agreeing testimony to Jesus' Sonship and Messiahship they give by the sacramental grace in the water of baptism, received by the penitent believer, by the atoning efficacy of His blood, and by the internal witness of His Spirit ( 1 John 5:10 ):answering to the testimony given to Jesus' Sonship and Messiahship by His baptism, His crucifixion, and the Spirit's manifestations in Him coming by water (that is, His baptism in Jordan) that Jesus was solemnly inaugurated in office, and revealed Himself as Messiah; this must have been peculiarly important in John's estimation, who was first led to Christ by the testimony of the Baptist. By the baptism then received by Christ, and by His redeeming blood-shedding, and by that which the Spirit of God, whose witness is infallible, has effected, and still effects, by Him, the Spirit, the water, and the blood, unite, as the threefold witness, to verify His divine Messiahship [NEANDER].
9. If, &c.--We do accept (and rightly so) the witness of veracious men, fallible though they be; much more ought we to accept the infallible witness of God (the Father). "The testimony of the Father is, as it were, the basis of the testimony of the Word and of the Holy Spirit; just as the testimony of the Spirit is, as it were, the basis of the testimony of the water and the blood" [BENGEL].
for--This principle applies in the present case, FOR
which--in the oldest manuscripts, "because He hath given testimony concerning His Son." What that testimony is we find above in 1 John 5:1 1 John 5:5 , "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God"; and below in 1 John 5:10 1 John 5:11 .
10. hath the witness--of God, by His Spirit ( 1 John 5:8 ).
in himself--God's Spirit dwelling in him and witnessing that "Jesus is the Lord," "the Christ," and "the Son of God" ( 1 John 5:1 1 John 5:5 ). The witness of the Spirit in the believer himself to his own sonship is not here expressed, but follows as a consequence of believing the witness of God to Jesus' divine Sonship.
believeth not God--credits not His witness.
made him a liar--a consequence which many who virtually, or even avowedly, do not believe, may well startle back from as fearful blasphemy and presumption ( 1 John 1:10 ).
believeth not the record--Greek, "believeth not IN the record, or witness." Refusal to credit God's testimony ("believeth not God") is involved in refusal to believe IN (to rest one's trust in) Jesus Christ, the object of God's record or testimony. "Divine "faith" is an assent unto something as credible upon the testimony of God. This is the highest kind of faith; because the object hath the highest credibility, because grounded upon the testimony of God, which is infallible" [PEARSON, Exposition of the Creed]. "The authority on which we believe is divine; the doctrine which we follow is divine" [LEO].
gave--Greek, "hath testified, and now testifies."
11. hath given--Greek, aorist: "gave" once for all. Not only "promised" it.
life is in his Son--essentially ( John 1:4 , 11:25 , 14:6 ); bodily ( Colossians 2:9 ); operatively ( 2 Timothy 1:10 ) [LANGE in ALFORD]. It is in the second Adam, the Son of God, that this life is secured to us, which, if left to depend on us, we should lose, like the first Adam.
12. the Son . . . life--Greek, "THE life." BENGEL remarks, The verse has two clauses: in the former the Son is mentioned without the addition "of God," for believers know the Son: in the second clause the addition "of God" is made, that unbelievers may know thereby what a serious thing it is not to have Him. In the former clause "has" bears the emphasis; in the second, life. To have the Son is to be able to say as the bride, "I am my Beloved's, and my Beloved is mine" [ Solomon 6:3 ]. Faith is the mean whereby the regenerate HAVE Christ as a present possession, and in having Him have life in its germ and reality now, and shall have life in its fully developed manifestation hereafter. Eternal life here is: (1) initial, and is an earnest of that which is to follow; in the intermediate state (2) partial, belonging but to a part of a man, though that is his nobler part, the soul separated from the body; at and after the resurrection (3) perfectional. This life is not only natural, consisting of the union of the soul and the body (as that of the reprobate in eternal pain, which ought to be termed death eternal, not life), but also spiritual, the union of the soul to God, and supremely blessed for ever (for life is another term for happiness) [PEARSON, Exposition of the Creed].
13. The oldest manuscripts and versions read, "These things have I written unto you [omitting 'that believe on the name of the Son of God'] that ye may know that ye have eternal life (compare 1 John 5:11 ), THOSE (of you I mean) WHO believe (not as English Version reads, 'and that ye may believe') on the name of the Son of God." English Version, in the latter clause, will mean, "that ye may continue to believe," &c. (compare 1 John 5:12 ).
These things--This Epistle. He, towards the close of his Gospel ( John 20:30 John 20:31 ), wrote similarly, stating his purpose in having written. In 1 John 1:4 he states the object of his writing this Epistle to be, "that your joy may be full." To "know that we have eternal life" is the sure way to "joy in God."
14. the confidence--boldness ( 1 John 4:17 ) in prayer, which results from knowing that we have eternal life ( 1 John 5:13 , 1 John 3:19 1 John 3:22 ).
according to his will--which is the believer's will, and which is therefore no restraint to his prayers. In so far as God's will is not our will, we are not abiding in faith, and our prayers are not accepted. ALFORD well says, If we knew God's will thoroughly, and submitted to it heartily, it would be impossible for us to ask anything for the spirit or for the body which He should not perform; it is this ideal state which the apostle has in view. It is the Spirit who teaches us inwardly, and Himself in us asks according to the will of God.
15. hear--Greek, "that He heareth us."
we have the petitions that we desired of him--We have, as present possessions, everything whatsoever we desired (asked) from Him. Not one of our past prayers offered in faith, according to His will, is lost. Like Hannah, we can rejoice over them as granted even before the event; and can recognize the event when it comes to pass, as not from chance, but obtained by our past prayers. Compare also Jehoshaphat's believing confidence in the issue of his prayers, so much so that he appointed singers to praise the Lord beforehand.
16. If any . . . see--on any particular occasion; Greek aorist.
his brother--a fellow Christian.
sin a sin--in the act of sinning, and continuing in the sin: present.
not unto death--provided that it is not unto death.
he shall give--The asker shall be the means, by his intercessory prayer, of God giving life to the sinning brother. Kindly reproof ought to accompany his intercessions. Life was in process of being forfeited by the sinning brother when the believer's intercession obtained its restoration.
for them--resuming the proviso put forth in the beginning of the verse. "Provided that the sin is not unto death." "Shall give life," I say, to, that is, obtain life "for (in the case of) them that sin not unto death."
I do not say that he shall pray for it--The Greek for "pray" means a REQUEST as of one on an equality, or at least on terms of familiarity, with him from whom the favor is sought. "The Christian intercessor for his brethren, John declares, shall not assume the authority which would be implied in making request for a sinner who has sinned the sin unto death ( 1 Samuel 15:35 , 16:1 , 3:29 ), that it might be forgiven him" [TRENCH, Greek Synonyms of the New Testament]. Compare Deuteronomy 3:26 . Greek "ask" implies the humble petition of an inferior; so that our Lord never uses it, but always uses (Greek) "request." Martha, from ignorance, once uses "ask" in His case ( John 11:22 ). "Asking" for a brother sinning not unto death, is a humble petition in consonance with God's will. To "request" for a sin unto death [intercede, as it were, authoritatively for it, as though we were more merciful than God] would savor of presumption; prescribing to God in a matter which lies out of the bounds of our brotherly yearning (because one sinning unto death would thereby be demonstrated not to be, nor ever to have been, truly a brother, 1 John 2:19 ), how He shall inflict and withhold His righteous judgments. Jesus Himself intercedes, not for the world which hardens itself in unbelief, but for those given to Him out of the world.
17. "Every unrighteousness (even that of believers, compare 1 John 1:9 , 3:4 . Every coming short of right) is sin"; (but) not every sin is the sin unto death.
and there is a sin not unto death--in the case of which, therefore, believers may intercede. Death and life stand in correlative opposition ( 1 John 5:11-13 ). The sin unto death must be one tending "towards" (so the Greek), and so resulting in, death. ALFORD makes it to be an appreciable ACT of sin, namely, the denying Jesus to be the Christ, the Son of God (in contrast to confess this truth, 1 John 5:1 1 John 5:5 ), 1 John 2:19 1 John 2:22 , 1 John 4:2 1 John 4:3 , 5:10 . Such wilful deniers of Christ are not to be received into one's house, or wished "God speed." Still, I think with BENGEL, not merely the act, but also the state of apostasy accompanying the act, is included--a "state of soul in which faith, love, and hope, in short, the new life, is extinguished. The chief commandment is faith and love. Therefore, the chief sin is that by which faith and love are destroyed. In the former case is life; in the latter, death. As long as it is not evident is a sin unto death, it is lawful to pray. But when it is deliberate rejection of grace, and the man puts from him life thereby, how can others procure for him life?" Contrast James 5:14-18 . Compare Matthew 12:31 Matthew 12:32 as to the wilful rejection of Christ, and resistance to the Holy Ghost's plain testimony to Him as the divine Messiah. Jesus, on the cross, pleaded only for those who KNEW NOT what they were doing in crucifying Him, not for those wilfully resisting grace and knowledge. If we pray for the impenitent, it must be with humble reference of the matter to God's will, not with the intercessory request which we should offer for a brother when erring.
18. ( 1 John 3:9 .)
We know--Thrice repeated emphatically, to enforce the three truths which the words preface, as matters of the brethren's joint experimental knowledge. This 1 John 5:18 warns against abusing 1 John 5:16 1 John 5:17 , as warranting carnal security.
whosoever--Greek, "every one who." Not only advanced believers, but every one who is born again, "sinneth not."
he that is begotten--Greek aorist, "has been (once for all in past time) begotten of God"; in the beginning of the verse it is perfect. "Is begotten," or "born," as a continuing state.
keepeth himself--The Vulgate translates, "The having been begotten of God keepeth HIM" (so one of the oldest manuscripts reads): so ALFORD. Literally, "He having been begotten of God (nominative pendent), it (the divine generation implied in the nominative) keepeth him." So 1 John 3:9 , "His seed remaineth in him." Still, in English Version reading, God's working by His Spirit inwardly, and man's working under the power of that Spirit as a responsible agent, is what often occurs elsewhere. That God must keep us, if we are to keep ourselves from evil, is certain. Compare John 17:15 especially with this verse.
that wicked one toucheth him not--so as to hurt him. In so far as he realizes his regeneration-life, the prince of this world hath nothing in him to fasten his deadly temptations on, as in Christ's own case. His divine regeneration has severed once for all his connection with the prince of this world.
19. world lieth in wickedness--rather, "lieth in the wicked one," as the Greek is translated in 1 John 5:18 , 1 John 2:13 1 John 2:14 ; compare 1 John 4:4 , John 17:14 John 17:15 . The world lieth in the power of, and abiding in, the wicked one, as the resting-place and lord of his slaves; compare "abideth in death," 1 John 3:14 ; contrast 1 John 5:20 , "we are in Him that is true." While the believer has been delivered out of his power, the whole world lieth helpless and motionless still in it, just as it was; including the wise, great, respectable, and all who are not by vital union in Christ.
20. Summary of our Christian privileges.
is come--is present, having come. "HE IS HERE--all is full of Him--His incarnation, work, and abiding presence, is to us a living fact" [ALFORD].
given us an understanding--Christ's, office is to give the inner spiritual understanding to discern the things of God.
that we may know--Some oldest manuscripts read, "(so) that we know."
him that is true--God, as opposed to every kind of idol or false god ( 1 John 5:21 ). Jesus, by virtue of His oneness with God, is also "He that is true" ( Revelation 3:7 ).
even--"we are in the true" God, by virtue of being "in His Son Jesus Christ."
This is the true God--"This Jesus Christ (the last-named Person) is the true God" (identifying Him thus with the Father in His attribute, "the only true God," John 17:3 , primarily attributed to the Father).
and eternal life--predicated of the Son of God; ALFORD wrongly says, He was the life, but not eternal life. The Father is indeed eternal life as its source, but the Son also is that eternal life manifested, as the very passage ( 1 John 1:2 ) which ALFORD quotes, proves against him. Compare also 1 John 5:11 1 John 5:13 . Plainly it is as the Mediator of ETERNAL LIFE to us that Christ is here contemplated. The Greek is, "The true God and eternal life is this" Jesus Christ, that is, In believing in Him we believe in the true God, and have eternal life. The Son is called "He that is TRUE," Revelation 3:7 , as here. This naturally prepares the way for warning against false gods ( 1 John 5:21 ). Jesus Christ is the only "express image of God's person" which is sanctioned, the only true visible manifestation of God. All other representations of God are forbidden as idols. Thus the Epistle closes as it began ( 1 John 1:1 1 John 1:2 ).
21. Affectionate parting caution.
from idols--Christians were then everywhere surrounded by idolaters, with whom it was impossible to avoid intercourse. Hence the need of being on their guard against any even indirect compromise or act of communion with idolatry. Some at Pergamos, in the region whence John wrote, fell into the snare of eating things sacrificed to idols. The moment we cease to abide "in Him that is true (by abiding) in Jesus Christ," we become part of "the world that lieth in the wicked one," given up to spiritual, if not in all places literal, idolatry ( Ephesians 5:5 , Colossians 3:5 ).

Subaru Forester Scheduled maintenance costs
We own a 2005 Forester that is due for its 30 month/30,000 mile inspection/maintenance service to keep the warranty intact. Suburu dealer charge is $825 for the service which involves an oil and filter change, coolant change and inspection, replace air cleaner, replace spark plugs, inspect all fluids and change out brake fluid, inspect brake lines, inspect steering and suspension and rotate, inspect and balance tires. This seems WAY out of line--wondering what other Forester owners have found regarding these charges.
bette608 Posts: 13Thanks for your reply. The problem is these are the necessary items listed in the Subaru Warranty and Maintenance Book. We do have a 10% coupon but even so I still can't believe this quote! And actually even though spark plug replacement is listed in the book I don't think that was listed in their verbal quote. We'll start looking at independent auto shops in the area to compare as well.
ateixeira Posts: 72,587It definitely seems high. Do you have other Subaru dealers in your area?
I'm lucky, there are 12 in my region.
One thing that might help - consider a Subaru Chase credit card. You earn 3% back in Subaru Bucks, and can use those to pay for maintenance.
We have earned $1600 so far! :shades: -
bette608 Posts: 13Thanks for the tip about the credit card. We only have one dealer in the city of 250,000 but I called an independent ASE certified and their estimate is $200 for the complete service. All I can say is thank goodness the Suburu technician gave me a quote--I had not asked for it thinking it was quite routine and would get one when I brought in the vehicle. Again, thanks for your assistance.
p0926 Posts: 4,423When I had the 30k service performed I made sure that the service rep showed me the list of work they wanted to perform. I then proceeded to line thru all the items that weren't included in the Forester's maintenance schedule. This resulted in cutting the cost almost in half. I think alot of the items they wanted to do were in the "severe conditions" schedule which did not apply to my type of driving. In hindsight, it probably would have been cheaper and easier to go to an independent and would have saved on having to argue with the service rep

stdonatus Posts: 2I have a 2002 Forester with 68,500 miles. What mileage I should I be looking at getting the timing belt replaced? The local Subaru dealership in suburban Chicago told me 60,000 miles--is this correct? Also, they quoted $450.00 to replace the timing belt. Is this high or about the right price? Thanks in advance.
minato Posts: 1The Subaru dealer here in Salem, OR quoted me $860 for the 30K maintenance on a 2004 Forester (I have 33K as of today). Their quote includes a few things I don't see on in the maintenance schedule that came with the car. The biggest $$$ are for these two:
Throttle body induction service
Carbon fuel service (they use a system called TerraClean)
I also see Air intake system cleaner on the quote..
Other dealers in nearby cities charge around $680 and seem to stick to what is on the list in the maintenance schedule.
So, what are those other things mentioned above, exactly? Should they be done? If so, how often? Is all that carbon business really a signifant problem at only 30K? Don't modern fuels included cleaners? Full disclosure: I rarely even open the hood and have the Subaru dealer do everything. I went there to get new wipers (lame, I know)! I'm old now, and lazy ... -
logtrail Posts: 72For my 30k service (2006 Forester LL Bean)I went to my local independent garage which I have been happy with. However, their charge for changing the spark plugs was $140. When I called the local dealer they said that their charge is $240 because they use Platinum plugs. Hah! I suspect that getting these plugs out is difficult, but don't these prices seem excessive. So, just how difficult are they?
Also, the garage that did the work did not change the brake fluid, saying that it looked just fine. Will this effect the warranty.
I remember the days when I could change the plugs in my 66 volvo in 1/2 hour max.
Of course the car handled like a tank, but that's another issue. And in the 50 years that I have owned cars, from a 50 ford, to a TR4, to a couple of Volvos, etc, I never had the brake fluid changed. I know that I cant generalize from my experience, but I really wonder about the necessity of this. Im obsessive about tires and brakes, but break fluid?
ps All of my cars have gotten over
125k miles with no problems, except for the poorly made Volkswagen Quantum which drove me crazy. -
aatherton Posts: 617I have not seen any DIYs that do it from below. This thread shows doing it from above:
It is said to take an hour with the right tools, including doing these for better access:
- removing the windshield washer bottle from and the battery from the driver side
- removing the air cleaner snorkel from the passenger side.
- opening the hood straight up by removing the prop from its mount in the radiator support and taking the plug out of the strut tower to put the prop there (undo the windshield washer hose leading to the hood first).
Tools include a 5/8" spark plug socket, a spark plug ratchet hinged at the head, a 3" extension and a 1-1/2" extension.
What is it like doing it from below? Is there clear access so nothing has to be removed, and does it take the same or less tools? -
pyewackett Posts: 11At the risk of being flogged with a wet seatbelt because I should know this, should we change the oil for the first time at 1,000 or 3,000 miles?
We bought our 2.5XL late last month and are up to 600 miles. It's our first new car since '94, so we're used to just changing the oil every 3,000. And is this something we should have done by the dealership or our trusty mechanic?
I want to do right by our pristine new Subie. (You can tell, I've still got the new owner euphoria.) TIA for your suggestions. -
paisan Posts: 21,181At our shop in NNJ where we work on subies part time, we usually suggest 1500 for the first oil change and then every 3k-5k after that. Most of our customers switch over to Amsoil after 10k miles so we do 7k changes after 10k miles.
Hope this helps.

rsholland Posts: 19,742Well, it's "insurance." I did get the extended warranty on my new WRX, but we did not get it on our Forester or Outback Sport.
My thinking here was the WRX, because it's a performance model, it might need it down the road—even though I drive it (mostly) like a little old lady. As to the other models, we chose not to get it, but I guess anything can happen... Our Forester has well over 100K on it, and our Outback Sport has over 40K on it, and so far so good. We've had a few things go on the Forester, but that has happened recently. So a 100K extended warranty would not have helped in our case, as these problems arose after that mileage point.
Having it is certainly some peace of mind. I guess you need to ask yourself as to how long am I going to keep the car? If you think you're going to keep it for a long while, or put a lot of miles on it, it may be worth it.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Editors' note: The rating on this product has been lowered because of changes in the competitive marketplace. The review has not otherwise been modified.
Yamaha basically created the sound bar category and continues to sell its best-in-class Digital Sound Projector line, but it can be hard to recommend the company's sound bars when they generally cost in excess of $1,000. The YAS-101 ($250 street price) is Yamaha's entry into the increasingly crowded budget sound bar field, and it's one of the few that manages to stand out.
That's largely due to Yamaha's decision to eschew a separate subwoofer, instead using a built-in subwoofer, which gives the speaker system a more streamlined look. The YAS-101 also has a very helpful "IR flasher" on the back, so it will pass remote signals through to your TV if the sound bar is blocking the TV's remote sensor. Sound quality is surprisingly strong for TV and movies, although don't expect miracles with two-channel music. Our major criticism is that the YAS-101's connectivity options are bare-bones, but that's not as much of an issue if you use your TV to switch between devices.
With its reasonable price, simple design with built-in subwoofer, and innovative remote-control workaround, the Yamaha YAS-101 is one of the top budget sound bars available.
Design: Not your average budget sound bar
Two design choices set the YAS-101 apart from most budget sound bars: its built-in subwoofer and IR repeater.
Most sub-$300 sound bars include a wireless subwoofer, but as mentioned above, the YAS-101 opts instead for a built-in, dual-driver 3-inch subwoofer. A wireless subwoofer isn't a huge imposition on a living room (heck, it's wireless), but a built-in subwoofer may appeal to minimalists who are hesitant even to add a sound bar to their decor.
We thought the down-firing subs might incite rattles and buzzes in our cabinet, but we didn't heard any noises during our listening sessions. (Less sturdy stands may fare worse.) Alternatively, you can hook up an external subwoofer, which would reduce the amount of bass coming from the YAS-101's subs.
The YAS-101's built-in IR repeater is its real standout feature. Sound bars designed to sit on your TV cabinet have the nasty habit of blocking the TV's remote control sensor, making it tough (or impossible) to switch inputs or turn your TV on and off. The Yamaha cleverly gets around this with the IR repeater, which accepts remote signals from any device and fires them out the back, along a strip of IR blasters. It's an excellent solution to a problem other sound bars just ignore.

7Very Effektiv Garbage & Recycling Bins
Materials: Effektiv Cabinets, Varde Countertop, Chrome trim rings, garbage cans
Description: One of my clients needed a clean solution for their garbage, so I came up with this.
Step One – Remove the back panel from one Effektiv cabinet to allow room for the garbage cans.
Step two – Pull the cabinet forward from the wall, cut removed back panel to use on the end to hide the space behind.
Step three – Add and cut holes in the Varde counter top and the top of the Effektiv cabinet.
Step four – Glue polished stainless steel trim rings into place. Notes: We also added a back splash made from a scrap piece of the Varde counter top….and you can see one of the garbage cans is missing! It was on order when we took the pictures.
~ Andy, NYC
7 Responses to Very Effektiv Garbage & Recycling Bins
Lovely idea love to know if they smell or get flies? Was thinking of something similar really well done.
That was my worry too. I know we are asked by the recycling co. to wash everything out, we are also asked by the water co to conserve water
Where did you get the trim rings?
Wow good job. I don't enclose my recycling bins/bags as I always wash things out. I always thought that you can't send packaging to the recycling if it has food scraps encrusted on it anyway – it's just good practice to clean everything out first!
It's a great idea. I'm now buying Ikea furnitures for my house and I will apply some of the tips watched in here. Thanks! And if you want cooking receipes, don't forget to take a look at http://www.elrincondeafi.es
Or buy a smaller trashcan and make it easier on yourself
Looks fantastic! I am having trouble finding similar trim rings. Where did you get them?

Pathologist says Bach died 24 to 48 hours before body was found
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent February 13, 2013 1:02PM
Kathy Bach of Cedar Lake holds a picture of her niece Amanda Bach as volunteers, family and law enforcement agencies search for the missing Portage teenager in the Wheeler, Ind. area Saturday September 17, 2011. Bach's broken down car was found in the parking lot of Dean's General Store at 3 a.m. Friday. | Stephanie Dowell~Sun-Times Media
Article Extras
Updated: March 15, 2013 1:24PM
VALPARAISO — The place where searchers and police found the body of 19-year-old Amanda Bach was where she had been since about the time of her murder, according to expert witnesses testifying Wednesday.
And there were no signs of sexual abuse, one witness testified Wednesday at the murder trial of Dustin McCowan, 20.
Dr. John E. Cavanaugh, the forensic pathologist who performed the Bach autopsy, said she had been dead for 24 to 48 hours when found Sept. 17, 2011.
He based this on the rate the body went through the death cycle, blood pooling in the body after the heart stops pumping and the lack of advanced decomposition.
There was no obvious trauma to Bach sexually, although there were other wounds, many after she died, he said.
Those injuries showed little or no signs of healing or bleeding, and the raw marks on her upper back showed she been dragged by her legs, Cavanaugh said.
Injuries around her knees occurred after she died and weren't related to each other. The marks behind her knees may have been done by her capri pants, but the strong likelihood is they weren't made by a belt or rope, he said.
None of the injuries indicated she was beaten or punched before her death.
Her head was likely pulled back and turned, and gunpowder on her body showed her right hand went across her chest when she was shot at close range.
Cavanaugh said the toxicology report showed some alcohol in Bach's system, but that could've been from drinking or from natural decomposing in a low temperature.
Forensic entomologist Dr. Ralph Williams said that because of the cold weather, the large amount of blowfly eggs on her indicated she'd been there for a while.
The eggs need 267 to 300 hours above 50 degrees to develop, and these only had 89 hours, based on weather reports showing the temperature rose that high about 10:30 to 11 a.m. Sept. 16, 2011.
However, he admitted under cross-examination that he didn't look up the minimum amount of time for eggs to hatch, just the median time.
Both men put holes in an alternate suspect theory that defense attorneys Nick Barnes and John Vouga have promoted suggesting someone put her body there later, possibly the Wheeler man who found her body.
Detective Sgt. Tim Manteuffel of the Porter County Sheriff's Department testified that an orange shirt found near the Canadian National Railway tracks, which was similar to ones McCowan wore, was wet and bundled.
Investigators found Bach's blood on it, smeared, but no traces of McCowan's hair or DNA or his dog's hair.
Manteuffel described the shirt as being as if it had come out of the laundry, heavy wet but not dripping.

- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size S
New Seamless Cami
Layers really well!
I purchased this in the Nude color, size P/S, to wear with the Bebe sheer yoke top in Cement. This piece compliments that top perfectly; it fits very well and isn't too noticeable underneath the top. It also is quite seamless so it doesn't show too many bumps. I will also wear this with other sheer tops as well for ultimate coverage!

As a loyal Customer for over 15 years I purchased this cami numerous times and bebe camis cant be beat!! they last forever as a matter of fact I still have some that are over 7 years old and still wear them. they're easy care and top-quality . go ahead ladies and get some you won't regret it
June 2, 2013
super cami!
Tried it on in the store and didn't want to take off.It is perfect.Feels like second skin and give you the spanx like fit.I chose the nude,in S (5'5", 110lbs).Will probably end up owning it in every color:)
May 26, 2013
Great cami
I got this in the nude color. The material is a very good quality. It is thick, soft, and stretchy. The only drawback was that it runs very short. I was looking for a cami to use under sheer tops. The P/S didn't look right because it didn't go all the way to the waistline of my jeans. I ended up exchanging it for a M/L, which fit great. By the way, I am only 5'4".
March 26, 2013
Just OK
I purchased both the white and black in small/petite. It's nicely fitted but the length is short. I'm constantly trying to pull it down everytime it rides up or slightly rolls up. Its a bit annoying. Wish it was longer to avoid this problem.
December 27, 2011
The best cami ever!
"Yes I own this in every color. I have two and even three in some colors I love this cami that much. It can be worn under blazers or cardigans but also simply as a cute, simple top over jeans, shorts & skirts. The material is really soft and hugs your curves nicely :)."

Absolutely love this bag! Price point was amazing! No problems with the zippers at all like the other reviewers mentioned. The only reason I didn't give this item 5 stars across the board is because I'm very petite, 5 ft, and I would like the purse strap to be just a bit shorter.

Bought this as a Christmas present for my girlfriend because she wanted a small-ish purse to put just her wallet, keys, and phone in. It was a huge success -- perfect size, stylish, adjustable strap, good quality. My only complaint is that the zippers seemed slightly hard to open (although they seem very durable).

I am 5'10" and about 125lbs. I love this bag but the strap just isn't long enough. It is a perfect size for carrying my cell phone, keys, etc. The zipper seems to work great when I hold one side but using one hand it isn't smooth.
I'd also recommend: Marc by Marc Jacobs

LOVE LOVE LOVE! This is the perfect size and the strap is long enough. :) I saw other reviews about the length of the strap being too short. But i am 5'7" and I have a long torso and its perfect!
