The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Welcome to the website of The Postal Regulatory Commission. Skip directly to the content.
The Commission plays an active international role in postal regulation. We take very seriously our statutory responsibility under the 2006 Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act to provide our views to the U.S. Department of State with respect to international agreements on rates and classifications for market dominant products and their consistency with our modern regulations for rate setting. We work closely with the U.S. Department of State, which is responsible for the overall formulation of international postal policy, to develop and promote U.S. interests in such international organizations as the Universal Postal Union. We also work closely with the Postal Service, the Department of Commerce, Office of the U.S. Trade Representative and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and are a member of the Federal Advisory Committee on International Postal and Delivery Services.
The Commission also fosters direct engagement with other postal regulators in order to share valuable information, experiences and best practices. In March 2009, we hosted the first International Postal Regulatory Dialogue, which brought together postal regulators from Europe, Asia and Latin America for the first time ever in a multilateral context.
Most recently, Chairman Ruth Y. Goldway spoke about financing universal service during the Forum on Postal Regulation organized by the Universal Postal Union in Bern, Switzerland (Notes, Presentation). Commissioner Dan G. Blair was asked to present to a forum of senior Iraqi government leaders as part of a joint Iraqi government and U.S. Agency for International Development Symposium on civil service reform (Press Release, Presentation, Photo). During his trip to Baghdad, Blair also met with Iraqi Postmaster General Dr. Safauldeen Badr Hamzah to discuss the challenges Iraq faces in providing universal postal service.
This web page is an outgrowth of the PRC's international initiatives and a demonstration of our commitment to sharing information with other postal regulators and the public on the timely and important topic of international postal regulation.

Over a period of two years between 2008 and 2009, the Lawrence Group of Dallas, Ga., made at least 20 withdrawals from the two cemetery perpetual trust funds held on deposit in Douglas County Bank.
In September 2012, the Lawrence Group agreed to pay $267,450 from four final orders from the state agency. Of that amount, $114,000 was paid directly to the improvement care funds, and $151,000 was a civil penalty paid to the department. The Lawrence Group also repaid $1.77 million to the two trusts. It was the largest ever civil penalty issued by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance Burial Services program.
Douglas County Bank paid $23,000 in civil penalties for allowing the withdrawals. The bank should have placed a hold on the withdrawal requests because they were trust funds. These trust accounts are now on deposit at Independence Trust Company in Franklin. No trust fund money for the two local cemeteries remains on deposit with Douglas County Bank.
The conditions of local cemeteries is a story that could continue into 2013 if the 10th Judicial District Attorney General receives enough complaints. According to state statute, the district attorney's office can file a civil action to enforce maintenance of a cemetery upon presentation of a petition with either 10 percent, or 20 lot holders or relatives of lot holders, whichever is less.
The report of body fluids leaking from crypts ranks in the Top 10 because poorly maintained cemeteries is a story line that began in May 2003 when former Cleveland Councilman Tim Gobble complained to fellow council members that the part of Fort Hill Cemetery held in private hands was a disgrace to the community.
That part of the saga ended in 2011 after a court fight that went all the way to the Tennessee Court of Appeals at Knoxville. The court overturned Chancery Court Judge Jerri Bryant in favor of the complainant, Betty Saint Rogers. Appeals Court Judge D. Michael Swiney wrote that Rogers did not prove her case against Fort Hill Cemetery owner Joe V. Williams III and Louisville Land Company, which he owns outright. The case had been in Bradley County courts since 2004.
Even while the appellate judges considered their opinion, complaints of poor maintenance practices in Sunset and Hilcrest cemeteries began to surface. John McGowan lodged a complaint about maintenance workers who dug graves using a full-size tractor and placed the feet of the outriggers on headstones. One of the damaged headstones marked the grave of his son.
Dale Lawrence, Lawrence Group, gave a short statement through the local office simply stating, "The issue is resolved; therefore, I have no comment to make."
McGowan said he visited Lawrence to discuss conditions at the two cemeteries. Lawrence, according to McGowan, agreed not to run over the graves of any of McGowan's family members.
Nothing more was said about Sunset Memorial Gardens and Mausoleums or Hilcrest Memorial Gardens for more than a year until about five months ago, when Ralph Buckner of Ralph Buckner Funeral Homes complained of fluids leaking onto the floor and unbearable odors filling the mausoleum at Sunset Memorial Gardens.
Buckner's parents and daughter are interred in the mausoleum. He said the situation brought to mind Tri-State Crematory in Noble, Ga., where more than 300 bodies were destined for cremation, but were dumped instead on crematory property.
Roy Bozeman, Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance Burial Services, investigated the complaint. He found what appeared to be body fluids containing unknown chemicals leaking from a crypt and running onto the floor of the mausoleum.
The leakage in the public areas of the mausoleum was classified as a public health and safety issue at the mausoleum. Bozeman suggested to cemetery manager Suzanne Baskette the mausoleum be secured to prevent unauthorized entry until the public health and safety risk could be rectified by the company.
Buckner said lights in the mausoleum were burned out, a single window air-conditioning unit was broken, with the only ventilation coming from two box fans; the roof leaked; there was a broken window; and the interior was generally dirty.
"I hope we can get it cleaned up, that's all I want. I just want us to have a cemetery in town we can be proud of and one we can walk into without becoming nauseous," Buckner said in July. "Sooner or later, there are probably going to be more of these. The thing is just in total disrepair.
"I'm losing sleep because my daughter and parents are up there and I wonder what condition they are in. Even though they are in some of the best caskets made, with bronze sealers in them, I don't know what condition they are in," he said. "There's no telling what's happening to others who might not be in as good caskets."
The Lawrence Group provided a plan of action to Burial Services which was deemed sufficient to address the immediate concerns.
Attorney James Logan said Buckner's complaint did not address poor maintenance conditions raised by many people for a number of years at both cemeteries owned by the Lawrence Group.
The general condition of Sunset Memorial was the subject of a complaint from Loye Hamilton to Burial Services in late June.
"The conditions have become a disgrace to the memory of those who have been laid to rest," Hamilton wrote in his complaint. "Many graves remain unsown for long periods of time after burial. The concrete drainage ditches are broken with some exposing bare wires.
"At the very least, they should use topsoil on top of the graves so grass will grow.
"All of the problems are strictly caused by inattention and poor management by the owner. I will be more than willing to file a formal complaint or lawsuit in order to get these problems corrected and to ensure this kind of neglect does not happen again in the future.
"After all, this is a perpetual care cemetery where funds are supposed to be deposited in order to fund the ongoing maintenance."
According to Tennessee Code, cemetery companies are to maintain cemeteries to reflect respect for the memory of the dead in keeping with the reasonable sensibilities of survivors of those whose remains are interred in the cemeteries. The officers and directors of a cemetery company commit a Class E felony if they fail to set up and maintain the improvement care trust fund.

I'm eating Subway for lunch today /gross
short of going hungry, it's my lunch option of last resort, but everything else in the area seems closed for the holiday today.
I don't really get the restaurants around here... sure, this is predominantly a business district, but there are a bunch of high-rise apartment/condo buildings as well. you'd think there'd be enough local, residential traffic to keep them open 7 days/week.

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.

Never attempt to adjust or repair your dentures yourself. Never bend any part of the clasp or metal attachments yourself; doing so can weaken the metal structure. "Do-it-yourself" repair kits can permanently damage your dentures and over-the-counter glues may contain harmful chemicals. Dentures that don't fit properly can cause irritation and sores in your mouth and on your gums. Be sure to contact your oral health care provider if your denture breaks, cracks, chips or if one of the teeth becomes loose. Oftentimes, he or she can make the necessary adjustment or repair on the same day. For some complicated repairs, your denture may have to be sent to a special dental laboratory. Will My Dentures Need to Be Replaced?Over time, dentures will need to be relined, rebased or remade due to normal wear, natural age-related changes to your face, jaw bones and gums, or if the dentures become loose. To reline or rebase a denture, the dentist or prosthodontist refits the denture base or makes a new denture base and reuses the existing teeth. Generally, complete dentures should be used for 5 to 7 years before a replacement is necessary. How Should I Care for My Mouth and Gums?Even with full dentures, it is important to brush your gums, tongue and palate with a soft-bristled brush every morning before you put in your dentures. This removes plaque and stimulates circulation in the mouth. Pay special attention to cleaning teeth that fit under the denture's metal clasps. Plaque that becomes trapped under the clasps will increase the risk of tooth decay. If you wear a partial denture, be sure to remove it before you brush your natural teeth. Clean, rest, and massage the gums regularly. Rinsing your mouth daily with lukewarm salt water will help clean your gums. Eat a balanced diet so that proper nutrition and a healthy mouth can be maintained. © 2005-2015 WebMD, LLC. All rights reserved. |

Hilpert announced his plans to retire last May saying, "Every day at Delta State I have recognized my privilege to serve as president of one of the finest regional universities in the nation. The institution is a sound organization built on a tradition of service."
Originally announcing that he would retire last December, Hilpert agreed to serve until his successor was in place.
Vice President for Student Affairs Dr. Wayne Blansett, welcomed the crowd and congratulated Hilpert on a well-earned retirement.
"We in the university community are so very thankful for your years of impeccable service and I want say personally what a pleasure it has been to serve with you over the years."
Blansett then read a letter from incoming president William "Bill" LaForge congratulating Hilpert on his 10 years of service.
"I regret that I cannot be there to salute you in person but I thank you sincerely for your dedication to Delta State over the years and for your strong command of the university we all love so much. Your amazing career in higher education has inured to the benefit of all of us who claim the Green and White as our own. Your record of achievement and commitment to higher education, as evidenced by your stellar and durable career in many high positions of leadership, is enviable by any measurement. Most importantly, you have touched and influenced the lives of so many students and colleagues over the years in such meaningful ways," said LaForge.
"I am especially grateful to you on both a personal and professional level for your many courtesies and your wise counsel to your successor. I trust you will allow me to continue benefiting from the wisdom and experience of President Emeritus Hilpert! Thank you for all you have done for Delta State University!"
The Hilperts were presented with gifts from various university departments and organizations, as well as from local and regional organizations and sister institutions.
Hilpert thanked those in attendance and offered his gratitude to the Delta State University family.
"I cannot express how grateful Pat and I are to you all for the last 10 years," he said. "Delta State is the fifth institution that we have served. It has been our longest stop and certainly one that we have found rich and rewarding in all aspects. We are immensely grateful to all of you and it has been an honor to have been a part of this university and community."
Hilpert was named the university's seventh president Sept. 1, 2003, after six years as president of Northern State University in Aberdeen, S.D.
During his 35-year career in higher education administration, he has also served as executive vice president and acting president of the University of South Dakota and as a vice president of Thiel College in Pennsylvania and executive assistant to the president of Suomi College (now Finlandia University) in Michigan.
As he steps down, Hilpert holds the distinction of having been the longest serving institutional executive officer among the eight current presidents of Mississippi's public universities.
In retirement, the Hilperts will split their time between homes in the Delta and in South Dakota.
"Retirement opens the door to new opportunities for Pat and me," said Hilpert. "We are looking forward to new adventures, as well as more time with our children and grandchildren."

Christ's prayer for himself. (1-5) His prayer for his disciples. (6-10) His prayer. (11-26)
Verses 1-5 Our Lord prayed as a man, and as the Mediator of his people; yet he spoke with majesty and authority, as one with and equal to the Father. Eternal life could not be given to believers, unless Christ, their Surety, both glorified the Father, and was glorified of him. This is the sinner's way to eternal life, and when this knowledge shall be made perfect, holiness and happiness will be fully enjoyed. The holiness and happiness of the redeemed, are especially that glory of Christ, and of his Father, which was the joy set before him, for which he endured the cross and despised the shame; this glory was the end of the sorrow of his soul, and in obtaining it he was fully satisfied. Thus we are taught that our glorifying God is needed as an evidence of our interest in Christ, through whom eternal life is God's free gift.
6-10. Christ prays for those that are his. Thou gavest them me, as sheep to the shepherd, to be kept; as a patient to the physician, to be cured; as children to a tutor, to be taught: thus he will deliver up his charge. It is a great satisfaction to us, in our reliance upon Christ, that he, all he is and has, and all he said and did, all he is doing and will do, are of God. Christ offered this prayer for his people alone as believers; not for the world at large. Yet no one who desires to come to the Father, and is conscious that he is unworthy to come in his own name, need be discouraged by the Saviour's declaration, for he is both able and willing to save to the uttermost, all that come unto God by him. Earnest convictions and desires, are hopeful tokens of a work already wrought in a man; they begin to evidence that he has been chosen unto salvation, through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. They are thine; wilt thou not provide for thine own? Wilt thou not secure them? Observe the foundation on which this plea is grounded, All mine are thine, and thine are mine. This speaks the Father and Son to be one. All mine are thine. The Son owns none for his, that are not devoted to the service of the Father.
Verses 11-16 Christ does not pray that they might be rich and great in the world, but that they might be kept from sin, strengthened for their duty, and brought safe to heaven. The prosperity of the soul is the best prosperity. He pleaded with his holy Father, that he would keep them by his power and for his glory, that they might be united in affection and labours, even according to the union of the Father and the Son. He did not pray that his disciples should be removed out of the world, that they might escape the rage of men, for they had a great work to do for the glory of God, and the benefit of mankind. But he prayed that the Father would keep them from the evil, from being corrupted by the world, the remains of sin in their hearts, and from the power and craft of Satan. So that they might pass through the world as through an enemy's country, as he had done. They are not left here to pursue the same objects as the men around them, but to glorify God, and to serve their generation. The Spirit of God in true Christians is opposed to the spirit of the world.
Verses 17-19 Christ next prayed for the disciples, that they might not only be kept from evil, but made good. It is the prayer of Jesus for all that are his, that they may be made holy. Even disciples must pray for sanctifying grace. The means of giving this grace is, "through thy truth, thy word is truth." Sanctify them, set them apart for thyself and thy service. Own them in the office; let thy hand go with them. Jesus entirely devoted himself to his undertaking, and all the parts of it, especially the offering up himself without spot unto God, by the eternal Spirit. The real holiness of all true Christians is the fruit of Christ's death, by which the gift of the Holy Ghost was purchased; he gave himself for his church, to sanctify it. If our views have not this effect on us, they are not Divine truth, or we do not receive them by a living and a working faith, but as mere notions.
Verses 20-23 Our Lord especially prayed, that all believers might be as one body under one head, animated by one soul, by their union with Christ and the Father in him, through the Holy Spirit dwelling in them. The more they dispute about lesser things, the more they throw doubts upon Christianity. Let us endeavour to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, praying that all believers may be more and more united in one mind and one judgment. Thus shall we convince the world of the truth and excellence of our religion, and find more sweet communion with God and his saints.
Verses 24-26 Christ, as one with the Father, claimed on behalf of all that had been given to him, and should in due time believe on him, that they should be brought to heaven; and that there the whole company of the redeemed might behold his glory as their beloved Friend and Brother, and therein find happiness. He had declared and would further declare the name or character of God, by his doctrine and his Spirit, that, being one with him, the love of the Father to him might abide with them also. Thus, being joined to Him by one Spirit, they might be filled with all the fulness of God, and enjoy a blessedness of which we can form no right idea in our present state.
John 17:1-26 . THE INTERCESSORY PRAYER.
reverential reader would not have exclaimed, Oh, to have been within hearing of such a prayer as that must have been, which wound up the whole of His past ministry and formed the point of transition to the dark scenes which immediately followed! But here it is, and with such signature of the Lips that uttered it that we seem rather to hear it from Himself than read it from the pen of His faithful reporter.1-3. These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes--"John very seldom depicts the gestures or looks of our Lord, as here. But this was an occasion of which the impression was indelible, and the upward look could not be passed over" [ALFORD].
Father, the hour is
glorify thy Son--Put honor upon Thy Son, by countenancing, sustaining, and carrying Him through that "hour."
2. given--gavest
him power over all
give eternal life to as many as, &c.--literally, "to all that which thou hast given him."
3. this is--that.
life eternal, that they might--may.
know, &c.--This life eternal, then, is not mere conscious and unending existence,.but a life of acquaintance with God in Christ ( Job 22:21 ).
thee, the only true God--the sole personal living God; in glorious contrast equally with heathen polytheism, philosophic naturalism, and mystic pantheism.
and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent--This is the only place where our Lord gives Himself this compound name, afterwards so current in apostolic preaching and writing. Here the terms are used in their strict signification--"JESUS," because He "saves His people from their sins"; "CHRIST," as anointed with the measureless fulness of the Holy Ghost for the exercise of His saving offices "WHOM THOU HAST SENT," in the plenitude of Divine Authority and Power, to save. "The very juxtaposition here of Jesus Christ with the Father is a proof, by implication, of our Lord's Godhead. The knowledge of God and a creature could not be eternal life, and such an association of the one with the other would be inconceivable" [ALFORD].
4, 5. I have glorified thee on the earth--rather, "I glorified" (for the thing is conceived as now past).
I have finished--I finished.
the work which thou gavest me to do--It is very important to preserve in the translation the past tense, used in the original, otherwise it might be thought that the work already "finished" was only what He had done before uttering that prayer; whereas it will be observed that our Lord speaks throughout as already beyond this present scene ( John 17:12 , &c.), and so must be supposed to include in His "finished work" the "decease which He was to accomplish at Jerusalem."
5. And now--in return.
glorify thou me--The "I Thee" and "Thou Me" are so placed in the original, each beside its fellow, as to show that A PERFECT RECIPROCITY OF SERVICES of the Son to the Father first, and then of the Father to the Son in return, is what our Lord means here to express.
with the glory which I had with thee before the world was--when "in the beginning the Word was with God" ( John 1:1 ), "the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father" ( John 1:18 ). With this pre-existent glory, which He veiled on earth, He asks to be reinvested, the design of the veiling being accomplished--not, however, simply as before, but now in our nature.
6-8. From praying for Himself He now comes to pray for His disciples.
I have manifested--I manifested.
thy name--His whole character towards mankind.
to the men thou gavest me out of the
8. they . . . have known surely that I came out from
9-14. I pray for them--not as individuals merely, but as representatives of all such in every succeeding age
not for the world--for they had been given Him "out of the world" ( John 17:6 ), and had been already transformed into the very opposite of it. The things sought for them, indeed, are applicable only to such.
10. all mine are thine, and thine are mine--literally, "All My things are Thine and Thy things are Mine." (On this use of the neuter gender, Absolute COMMUNITY OF PROPERTY between the Father and the Son is here expressed as nakedly as words can do it.
11. I am no more in the
but these are in the world--that is, Though My struggles are at an end, theirs are not; though I have gotten beyond the scene of strife, I cannot sever Myself in spirit from them, left behind and only just entering on their great conflict.
Holy Father--an expression He nowhere else uses. "Father" is His wonted appellation, but "Holy" is here prefixed, because His appeal was to that perfection of the Father's nature, to "keep" or preserve them from being tainted by the unholy atmosphere of "the world" they were still in.
keep through thine own name--rather, "in thy name"; in the exercise of that gracious and holy character for which He was known.
that they may be
12. I kept--guarded.
them in thy name--acting as Thy Representative on earth.
none of them is lost, but the son of perdition--It is not implied here that the son of perdition was one of those whom the Father had given to the Son, but rather the contrary ( John 13:18 ) [WEBSTER and WILKINSON]. It is just as in Luke 4:26 Luke 4:27 , where we are not to suppose that the woman of Sarepta (in Sidon) was one of the widows of Israel, nor Naaman the Syrian one of the lepers in Israel, though the language--the same as here--might seem to express it.
son of perdition--doomed to it ( 2 Thessalonians 2:3 , 14:21 ).
13. I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves--that is, Such a strain befits rather the upper sanctuary than the scene of conflict; but I speak so "in the world," that My joy, the joy I experience in knowing that such intercessions are to be made for them by their absent Lord, may be tasted by those who now hear them, and by all who shall hereafter read the record of them,
15-19. I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world--for that, though it would secure their own safety, would leave the world unblessed by their testimony.
but . . . keep them from the evil--all evil in and of the world.
16. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world--(See John 15:18 John 15:19 ). This is reiterated here, to pave the way for the prayer which follows.
17. Sanctify them--As the former prayer, "Keep them," was "negative," asking protection for them from the poisonous element which surrounded and pressed upon their renewed nature, so this prayer, "Sanctify them," is positive, asking the advancement and completion of their begun sanctification.
thy truth--God's revealed truth, as the medium or element of sanctification; a statement this of immense importance.
thy word is truth--(Compare John 15:3 , Colossians 1:5 , Ephesians 1:13 ).
18. As thou hast sent--sentest.
me into the world, even so have I also sent them--sent I also them.
into the world--As their mission was to carry into effect the purposes of their Master's mission, so our Lord speaks of the authority in both cases as co-ordinate.
19. And for their sakes I sanctify--consecrate.
myself that they also might--may.
be sanctified--consecrated. The only difference between the application of the same term to Christ and the disciples is, as applied to Christ, that it means only to "consecrate"; whereas, in application to the disciples, it means to consecrate with the additional idea of previous sanctification, since nothing but what is holy can be presented as an offering. The whole self-sacrificing work of the disciples appears here as a mere result of the offering of Christ [OLSHAUSEN].
the truth--Though the article is wanting in the original here, we are not to translate, as in the Margin, "truly sanctified"; for the reference seems plainly to be "the truth" mentioned in John 17:17 .
20-23. Neither pray I for these alone--This very important explanation, uttered in condescension to the hearers and readers of this prayer in all time, is meant not merely of what follows, but of the whole prayer.
them also which shall believe--The majority of the best manuscripts read "which believe," all future time being viewed as present, while the present is viewed as past and gone.
21. that they all may be one, as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they may be one in us--The indwelling Spirit of the Father and the Son is the one perfect bond of union, knitting up into a living unity, first all believers amongst themselves; next, this unity into one still higher, with the Father and the Son. (Observe, that Christ never mixes Himself up with His disciples as He associates Himself with the Father, but says I in THEM and THEY in US).
that the world may believe that thou hast sent me--sentest me. So the grand impression upon the world at large, that the mission of Christ is divine, is to be made by the unity of His disciples. Of course, then, it must be something that shall be visible or perceptible to the world. What is it, then? Not certainly a merely formal, mechanical unity of ecclesiastical machinery. For as that may, and to a large extent does, exist in both the Western and Eastern churches, with little of the Spirit of Christ, yea much, much with which the Spirit of Christ cannot dwell so instead of convincing the world beyond its own pale of the divinity of the Gospel, it generates infidelity to a large extent within its own bosom. But the Spirit of Christ, illuminating, transforming, and reigning in the hearts of the genuine disciples of Christ, drawing them to each other as members of one family, and prompting them to loving co-operation for the good of the world--this is what, when sufficiently glowing and extended, shall force conviction upon the world that Christianity is divine. Doubtless, the more that differences among Christians disappear--the more they can agree even in minor matters--the impression upon the world may be expected to be greater. But it is not dependent upon this; for living and loving oneness in Christ is sometimes more touchingly seen even amidst and in spite of minor differences, than where no such differences exist to try the strength of their deeper unity. Yet till this living brotherhood in Christ shall show itself strong enough to destroy the sectarianism, selfishness, carnality, and apathy that eat out the heart of Christianity in all the visible sections of it, in vain shall we expect the world to be overawed by it. It is when "the Spirit shall be poured upon us from on high," as a Spirit of truth and love, and upon all parts of the Christian territory alike, melting down differences and heart burnings, kindling astonishment and shame at past unfruitfulness, drawing forth longings of catholic affection, and yearnings over a world lying in wickedness, embodying themselves in palpable forms and active measures--it is then that we may expect the effect here announced to be produced, and then it will be irresistible. Should not Christians ponder these things? Should not the same mind be in them which was also in Christ Jesus about this matter? Should not His prayer be theirs?
22. And the glory which thou gavest--hast given.
me I have given them, that they may be one, even as we are one--The last clause shows the meaning of the first. It is not the future glory of the heavenly state, but the secret of that present unity just before spoken of; the glory, therefore, of the indwelling Spirit of Christ; the glory of an accepted state, of a holy character, of every grace.
23. I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in
24-26. Father, I will--The majesty of this style of speaking is quite transparent. No petty criticism will be allowed to fritter it away in any but superficial or perverted readers.
be with me where I
that they may behold my glory which thou hast given Christ regards it as glory enough for us to be admitted to see and gaze for ever upon His glory! This is "the beatific vision"; but it shall be no mere vision, for "we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is" ( 1 John 3:2 ).
25. O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee--knew thee not.
but I have known thee--knew thee.
and these have known--knew.
that thou hast sent--sentest
me--As before He said "Holy Father," when desiring the display of that perfection on His disciples ( John 17:11 ), so here He styles Him "Righteous Father," because He is appealing to His righteousness or justice, to make a distinction between those two diametrically opposite classes--"the world," on the one hand, which would not "know the Father, though brought so nigh to it in the Son of His love, and, on the other, Himself, who recognized and owned Him, and even His disciples, who owned His mission from the Father.
26. And I have declared--I made known or communicated.
thy name--in His past ministry.
and will declare it--in yet larger measure, by the gift of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost and through all succeeding ages.
that the love wherewith thou hast loved--lovedst.
me may be in them, and I in them--This eternal love of the Father, resting first on Christ, is by His Spirit imparted to and takes up its permanent abode in all that believe in Him; and "He abiding in them and they in Him" ( John 15:5 ), they are "one Spirit." "With this lofty thought the Redeemer closes His prayer for His disciples, and in them for His Church through all ages. He has compressed into the last moments given Him for conversation with His own the most sublime and glorious sentiments ever uttered by mortal lips. But hardly has the sound of the last word died away, when He passes with the disciples over the brook Kedron to Gethsemane--and the bitter conflict draws on. The seed of the new world must be sown in Death, that thence Life may spring up" [OLSHAUSEN].

About me and my passion for cars
I was raised around cars dad always worked on his own before I was born he had his own body shop and honestly there was nothing he couldn't or wouldn't do to his car's. Body and Paint or mechanical. Some of my older brothers buddy's had some very nice muscle car's so once it's in your blood your hooked. At least I was! So when I was 9 or 10 I started with mini bikes then dirt bikes then helping my buddy's with their car's as I couldn't afford one. Then when the day came to actually own a real muscle car I was in seventh heaven I bought the green 442 you see here.

Who else caught Barry Zito on the Unicorn Hour on KNBR on May 1st? Listen to the podcast here, if you missed it. Basically, Zito describes him and Dan Haren (D-Backs starting pitcher) making a "Dreamy Team"- an imaginary team of the best looking guys in baseball. So I, of course, thought, I could totally do that! And I even might venture to think I have better taste than Zito and Haren.
(Note: Yes, I know David Wright is a 3rd baseman, but I couldn't take A-Rod out so Wright will have to learn how to play 2nd. That couldn't be that hard, right?)
In the field
1B- Albert Pujols
2B- David Wright
SS- Jose Reyes (or Omar Vizquel, nod to my mother)
3B- Alex Rodriguez
LF- Ryan Braun
CF- Eugenio Velez
RF- Andre Ethier
C- Jorge Posada
Starting pitchers:
Tim Lincecum
Andy Pettite
Barry Zito
Madison Bumgarner
Joe Martinez
In the 'pen
Sergio Romo
Dave Robertson
Mariano Rivera
Brian Wilson
Who's on your Dreamy Team? Comment and let me know. And who else wants to pitch a Dreamy Team game- just like, or even instead of, the All-Star game- to MLB? I'll start collecting signatures, if anyone's interested. I bet our TV ratings would skyrocket. Just saying.

The Equity Seating Plan for Kenan Stadium puts the decision on where you want to sit and park in your hands. For the 2015 season, Rams Club members will once again have the opportunity to personally select their own seats and parking based upon their membership priority as of April 15 - with assignments staying in place for the next three seasons.
The initial implementation of the Equity Seating Plan in 2011 represented a significant change for many members - and provided the opportunity for those members to choose seats and parking reflective of their membership rank. The selection process occurs again in 2015, allowing members to adjust their selections with one year's experience under the new system and a reflection of their current membership rank. After 2015, the selection process will not occur again until 2018, and every three years thereafter (2021, 2024, and so on).
Rams Club members are encouraged to plan accordingly for the three-year implementation cycle. Seat and parking selections will remain the same for the next three seasons (assuming your giving level does not decrease and you maintain your season ticket order). Please ensure your best opportunity by confirming your giving level and adjusting to your desired membership rank by April 15.

Georgia grower-shippers are battling whiteflies.
The pest isn't causing major problems, but growers say buyers should expect lower yields, particularly with squash.
submitted photoWhiteflies are a problem on some Georgia fall production vegetables, changing their color, like these squash. Grower-shippers say the pest isn't causing major problems but say the flies are harming yields "It has caused some issues, particularly with the squash," said Adam Lytch, operations manager for Raleigh, N.C.-based L&M Cos. Inc., which grows and ships from Moultrie, Ga. "It's such a vector for different viruses that affect the production of squash. It's hard to say now, but it will definitely affect the yield.
"Some areas have it real bad while some don't have it as much," Lytch said.
Cucumbers are also being affected, Lytch said Oct. 16.
He said the pests are stressing the cucumbers, which prevents the plants from flourishing.
"There was a lot of whitefly pressure early on in Georgia," Brian Rayfield, vice president of sales and marketing for Loxahatchee, Fla.-based J&J Produce Inc., said Oct. 16. "The main problem is it makes the yellow squash have a pale color and there has been some reduction in yields, but everything is under control."
Gary Stafford, salesman and green beans manager with Pahokee, Fla.-based Hugh H. Branch Inc., said the fly isn't affecting corn but is damaging green beans.
"There is a problem and there's always a problem in the fall in southwest Georgia, early on when it gets hot," he said. "It gradually gets better. It's not a major issue but still, it's an issue. It depends where you are."
Whiteflies attach themselves to the leaves and drain the plants' nutrients, but growers say whiteflies affect plant color more than yield.
Georgia production of cucumbers, squash, bell peppers, corn and beans normally runs through mid-November as central and south Florida begin production.

Some claim that this is a picture of Kellan, others say it is a fake. You be the judge.
I just got a boner from looking at all these pictures.
Definitely a fake - but a good one.
Compare this pic to the torso beach image above. In this pic, no visible moles on the pecs; nipples and abs are different shape; belly button completely different shape. Such distended veins are unlikely to be just the result of a leaner build - the veins would be visible in the beach shot to some extent.
Beautiful looking man. Those eyes of his are mesmerising.
FAKE! Spot the photoshop aliasing around his ear.
I REALLY don't think he's sexy. Actually, he's EXACTLY the opposite!!!!!!
Perez shame on you for using a fake
cereal awesom fake i got off to both pix

wow....good job on the fake..had me fooled! haha
and I totally think Perez is on this site....so much stuff we post up here ends up on his site soon after....i'm just saying...haha
where is the original picture from. his body is smokin'
Mmm, I love Kellan, wanna see him in New Moon!! he is so cute, Fell in love with him since Hilary Duff's video clip. lol
i wanna lick that
Is that a nice pic? Yes
Am I impressed with the 'size'? Not at all. Seems very typical to me
I heart Kellan Lutz
I was expecting a fake, guys.

id love to find out more
id love to find out more
I found this vid that reminded me of this thread. Enjoy
I jerked off with most of my friends growing up. All were straight. It never occurred to us to attempt to kiss (other than one guy who was very drunk). Most of my early experiences with my friends did lead to giving one another head but kissing seemed too gay. ha-ha
Sorry it's been a long time, but there really hasn't been any news...until now. Two nights ago, he came over and I finally got to jerk his cock! We were sitting there in the couch, as usual, stroking ourselves with our pants and undies down around our ankles. I shot my load and cleaned myself up while he was still stroking. I sat there and watched him for a while and then I asked him 'Do you want some help with that?' He just stopped and looked at me and said 'Help with what?' I asked him point blank 'Want me to finish jerking you off?' He seemed a little shocked and looked away. I thought I'd made a mistake by mentioning it, but I just told him that I wouldn't tell anyone and it's not like a gay thing (well for me it was hehe). He told me I could. YES! I moved closer to him on the couch and wrapped my hand around his hard, hairy dick and it was amazing. I jerked his cock for a few minutes, then he warned me that he was gonna cum. He shot his wad all over my hand. Some got on his legs and his chest (he shoots a LOT).
Afterwards, he left kinda quickly but he acts normal at work the next day. I really hope it happens again.
Yeay! Major progress!!! Congratulations!
Thanks! Yeah my mind reels at the possibilities for the future. But for now, I'm just enjoying the fact that I got to touch this boy's virgin dick and get him off.
O.M.G! Instant hardon just reading your details. Thank you for not forgetting about us. The first time like this is an everlasting memory. You will be able to cum to that memory for years to come. Trust me! That story is just so cool. Please don't ever forget to tell us about the next visit......any chance you can get a hidden cam going?
Holy Prostate Exam Batman! That was AMAZING!!
Congratulations Take it nice and slowly he will certainly be back for more !
after 1 more time jerking him off- maybe you can say- while you're jerking him- 'I always kinda wondered what 1 tasted like....what the hell- it's right here- how many chances will I get to find out...'then suck the daylights out of him!
Congrats! Hopefully this will develop into a regular and enjoyable pastime for both of you.
Thank you. I look forward to your updates.
Did he bring the Video for that session?`
If so, what was it?
Love to hear more. Any updates?
No it just mean he was caught up in the moment.
I so agree with virginboy1; this was actually one tale that I truly enjoyed watching unfold.
Then Rickyreco said, "No it just mean he was caught up in the moment," and I agreed with him too until the realization that we were NOT in agreement, as I'd initially thought that was referring to Mr. Lecithen becoming so caught up in the moment that the moment was still happening -- hence no further updates.
Thanks for sharing with us. I look forward to hearing about how your friendship is progressing.
And I know, if I'll only be true, to this glorious quest . . .
Thanks for sharing this. I would like to have a friend like you!
Hey, I just came back on here to say that I'm still friends with the guy, and we still hang out like once every week or two. Now when we watch porn, we take our pants & underwear off and sit next to each other on the couch and jerk each other off. If any other guy was doing this with me on a semi-regular basis, I'd be convinced he was gay or at least bicurious. But I can't tell with him -- He's still a virgin and he's never even gotten a bj. He's told me he's 'not gay' lots of times. He talks about girls at work and from what I could tell, he's just a horny guy who needs a gf.
Sometimes he does weird stuff like one time after we got done jerking, he just sat around naked from the waist down for an hour until he left. He made a joke about it, like 'Yeah I'm just gonna stay like this. No pants'. I stayed half-naked too, because I didn't wanna make him feel uncomfortable (hehe). So I don't know what to make of that. One time as soon as he came over, he started talking about how hot it was (my apartment does get insanely hot). He wasn't wearing shorts so he suggested we both take our pants off and hang out in our briefs. I didn't mind doing it at all, but it makes me wonder.
Anyway, soon I'm gonna ask him if I can suck his dick. Unless he's saving his first bj to be from a chick, I don't see why he'd say no at this point.
Damn!!! That's really HOT!!
Hell yea man, thats awesome! He jerked your cock too?
woah that's really cool. Yeah, sounds like a horny dude just trying to get off or maybe he's trying to figure out exactly what he likes. All in all it sounds really hot. Wish I had a friend that would want to jerk off with me every now and then. lol that would be awesome!
Me too.
Me and my friend Zach have played with ourselves together many times. He knows im bi, and he is 100% straight. He just likes company.
In my view I think your friend is probably completely Str8 but is now quite relaxed 'playing ' with you knowing that it is just between you two. A lot of Str8 guys are quite happy joing with another guy but not prepared to touch another guy, your friend has gone that much further. Dont be surprised if he is not prepared to go as far as a BJ , that may be a step too far. Just look at some porn together involving a BJ and casually ask him what he thinks about it Best of luck you are doing well but dont be surprised if he got a gf he would loose his interest !
He'd probably be ok with getting a BJ as long as he was assured he wouldn't have to give one.
So next time you get naked. When you go to take off your pants just say "Fuck it" and strip off. Don't make a big deal about it.
Loved the update! Good luck Lecithen, hope all goes well and you get to give that BJ!
wow this story is awesome!
I've jerked off with him a couple more times. I've been to afraid to ask to blow him, but he seems really ok with getting naked and playing around. Last week my apartment was hot (as always), and we say around totally naked for a good hour before we even started jerking off. Just like watching TV, sitting around naked, talking. When we did get to stroking each other, I didn't even bother pretending to watch the porn, I just stared at my hand tugging his dick the whole time. I know that he noticed. He's coming over again sometime this week. I know I really should just ask him if I can suck his cock. If he says no, I can just act like I was joking or something, I guess. What's the best way to go about asking him?
I think if you asked him before hand, he'd panic and say no... I would almost be tempted to wait until the movies been playing a while, he's hard and horny, and you've been jerking him for a bit, and then just lean over and go for it and start sucking it. A hard, horny cock rarely says No... however this is a little unscrupulous behavior, and some might consider it border line rape and taking advantage of him.
You'd also run the risk of scaring him off once Happy Time is over and he's had time to think about it with the big head and not the little one.
Does he know/accept that you are gay? If so- asking to suck it is a perfectly legit question.
I do agree that asking in the heat of the moment when you already have a handful of his stiff dick is more likely to succeed, but the guy's grown comfortable spending time naked with you and having circle jerks fairly regularly, so I think he can probably see the direction events are leading in too.
You already have the guy's pants off. I'm sure he's not going to be turned off by your request.
You have always called the shots in this situation, so he's not going to suggest a blowjob. You will have to suggest it.
The guy does seem to be completely str8 , the fact he is quite relaxed sitting around naked after you have both cum your lot is a bit unusual , most str8 guys would want to cover up at that stage Suggest you get some str8 porn where the girl gives the guy a bj and when watching it ask what he thinks about it . Tell him you think it is hot ! Just take it slowly , you are doing well
Any update Lecithen?
You need to stay with what works, asking him to bring porn is a great idea. Or let him look at your porn collection, keep the all gay stuff hidden for now, throw in some bi porn, to ease him in.
my str8 friend and i started in this same fashion. it was kinda weird tho cos he knew i was gay already cos we used to work together. after we both got seperate jobs tho is when i started getting texts at 3 in the morning from him saying he's horny and needs porn.
i would just "LOL" back at him and tell him i dont have porn to send on my phone and he would suggest i "tell him what to do" and thats how it started. i would tell him how to jerk his cock which led to me saying what i want to do to his cock and he loved all that. Long story short we now get off together and he's letting me service his cock and nuts once a week or so. he gets super horny sometimes and i can tell how loose he gets after he's had a drink. we dont fuck tho.
Ok it's been a long time since my last update. My friend and I have been having our mutual jerk-off sessions about once every couple of weeks or so. It's become such a regular thing, us just hanging out naked and watching porn and stroking each other. Around Thanksgiving, I FINALLY got up the nerve and just asked him 'Want me to suck your dick for a little while?' He thought about it for a couple of seconds and said 'Yeah ok, just don't tell anyone'. I couldn't believe how quickly he agreed to it, I really regretted not asking him before! Well I had my mouth on his cock for a good twenty minutes that night. Right after I stopped blowing him, he started jerking himself real fast and came right away. I think he was holding back so he wouldn't shoot in my mouth, even though I would have loved it if he did.
We've hung out a few times since then. Our new routine is we get naked and jerk each other, then I kneel down in front of him on the couch and suck him until he's ready to cum, then he jerks himself off. It's so fucking hot. This really has gone further than I ever expected last year when all I wanted was to get my hands on his dick. I don't expect it to go any further, really. I'm sure he won't suck me and I'm afraid he'd think it was too 'gay' to let me swallow his load (even though it's pretty 'gay' already). Just thought I'd let everyone know what's going on. Maybe give some hope to gay guys who are hot for their straight friend. It probably helps that he's very inexperienced with girls and I'm the only action he's getting, but still.
Awesome update!
Well done ! Your softly, softly approach has paid off and you are now both comfortable with each other. If you had tried sucking him earlier you may have scared him away. I think he is completely str8 and will not want to suck yours, most str8 guys have no desire to go that far. Lets hope he does not find a gf and will look to you for his sexual needs

Fuck. That is so hot. If you keep this going for a few weeks that this becomes a reliable routine for him for release, you can add a little alcohol into the mix and both of you can start 'losing it'. Not too drunk, just buzzed. You intensify the cocksucking to ballsucking also then intense sucking till he cums in your mouth "oops. got carried away." Might be a bit tricky. Always different with different guys, but it looks like he's more receptive now than ever. Optional but poppers could intensify the feeling if he is into it too otherwise, it might not work. I had a curious guy once that let me suck him. He saw me sniff some poppers and he got curious to get a sniff and it was all downhill from there. 69 till we both came. Hot.
Actually last time I sucked him, I did lick & sick on his balls a little. I assumed he'd like it, and he didn't stop me from doing it. But yeah, I don't see him offering to blow me anytime soon. The alcohol is a good idea though. Maybe after a few beers, he'll get so into it that he won't pull out of my mouth when he's close.
This whole thing is mind blowing. I have also been in some similar situations which led to me sucking my straight friends cock. Slowly always paid off for me too. Next time you suck him try wetting your finger with some lotion and while you have his cock in your mouth slip your lubed finger in his ass. This will intensify everything and put him over the edge. I will bet that he will cum in your mouth at that point.....let us know how it goes...next you will have to slide your tongue up his ass while he jacks off.
Holy Prostate Exam Batman! That was AMAZING!!
