text: I am glad I found this site. I started this journey in Jan. 09 and was doing great (down to 214) until this past fall. We had a stressful move overseas and I coped with food big time. I maintained for a while because we didnt have a vehicle and I was walking a lot everyday. But then we got settled in and I stopped walking as much, but kept the poor eating habits and naturally my weight headed back up. I decided in Jan. to get back on track, but was off and on plan. I started again in Feb. (at 242lb) and I found this site. You all inspire and motivate me. Now it has been almost a month on plan and I know I can do this! Thanks everybody!

I am delighted to be here and to have the privilege to speak to you today and I am heartened by the warm welcome that Ann, my wife, and I have received. There is no question that the accountancy profession has a unique, critical and practical role to play in building stronger and more stable economies around the globe. In order to carry out this role fully, however, we need to continue to enhance confidence in our profession and to build public trust. Investor confidence and public trust empowers our profession. Without it, the credibility of the information we produce, indeed the future of our profession itself, is put at risk. Wherever we work we cannot afford to take this risk.

Kracor holding tanks are still available: check out their marine catalog-http://www.kracor.com/support/holdingtanks.pdf
Hope this helps,
Yes, Kracor is still making tanks, but not the model that is in my boat. I was trying to avoid having to build a new support system which a different tank size/shape would require. I've decided to wait to tackle this project until the boat is hauled in a few weeks. I've been spending the time sailing rather than working (very happily, I might add!).

Hi All. My first post on the FOC forum so here goes.
We have a 2008 Ford Focus 1.4 Petrol which was purchased new from a main dealer that does not start.
It turns over nice and quick, sounds like it want to start but no joy.
This isn't the first time its done this.
First time we took (on the back of a truck) back to the main dealer.
They did their stuff and got it running. What they did was to upload some new calibration code to the ECU for hard starting, this fixed the issue for a good period of time.
Next time it failed to start I got it going (maybe a fluke) by pressing the accelerator pedal a few times then it sprung into life and drove it to the Ford garage. They had a look and could not find the issue and concluded maybe its the battery. But after that it was fine.
So, today (the car has been sitting on the drive for 3 days) the car wouldn't start.
Out with the multimeter and checked the battery voltage, 12.8V so I then tried a set of jump leads from my Land Rover 110 and got a reading of 13.8v, so I left the engine on the LR running to add some juice to the FF battery and with the engine running I tried again. Still no joy.
The lights on the dash don't go dim while cranking over.
Checked the fuses under the bonnet, all OK. Re-seated the relays and no joy.
I was thinking of checking the Cam belt is still OK but haven't done that yet. The car has done <25k miles.
The FF is 4 months out of Warranty :-(
Any ideas people ?
I am thinking some OBD software and suitable interface could be called for. (but thats another topic)

Casper the Friendly Ghost is the protagonist of the Famous Studios theatrical animated cartoon series of the same name. As his name indicates, he is a ghost, but is quite personable. According to the 1995 feature film Casper, his family name is McFadden, making his "full" name Casper McFadden.
Jeez, just a few sentences for Casper, but a wall of text for The Care Bears Movie!
It doesn't even mention up above one of the main plot points of the Casper cartoon. That is, that Casper would be trying to make friends, but the animals/people would run away from him. Sometimes he would rescue them, and they wouldn't be afraid of him anymore.

Find the Real Maximum Pressure Of Vessels
Always consider static head when assessing pressure vessels.
Chemical processing plant vessels serve many purposes, including for storage and surge control and as reactors, fractionators, absorbers, strippers and crystallizers. Pressure is a key parameter for safe operation. Vessel operating and design pressures may appear in piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), specification sheets, operating instructions and fabrication drawings.
Process safety analyses invariably address over-pressure protection. Such analyses generally rely on P&IDs for plant design information. The P&IDs usually include vessel maximum operating and working pressures. But what do those pressures mean? Are the P&ID pressures the ones we really must worry about?
For vessels stamped as complying with the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, the ASME U-1 form summarizes the vessel's design temperature and pressure. It includes the design conditions and the specific materials used, allowable materials stresses, testing conditions and other critical mechanical details. That form (and any attachments stemming from vessel modifications or repairs) defines the operating limits. The vessel should be code stamped with the same values shown on the U-1 form. While useful and convenient, other paperwork doesn't override the U-1 form.
So, it's important to understand how P&ID design pressures compare to those on ASME U-1 forms and to know some common errors in P&ID pressures.
Section VIII Division 1 of the ASME Code covers rules for construction of pressure vessels. Subsection UG-21 defines design pressure requirements: "Each element of a pressure vessel shall be designed for at least the most severe condition of coincident pressure (including coincident static head in the normal operating position) and temperature expected in normal operation."
The design pressure of a vessel is the maximum pressure that any part of the vessel can tolerate — it includes both system and static pressures. Design pressures may vary with temperature and vessels may be stamped for multiple design temperature/pressure combinations.
Common practice during hazard and operability (HAZOP) reviews is to use pressure ratings on P&IDs rather than referring back to U-1 forms. As long as the values are correct and people properly understand how to interpret them, this doesn't cause problems.
The U-1 form design values are for any point on the vessel and must include static head in the pressure evaluation. Too often, HAZOP and other safety reviews look at operating pressure from a pressure reading point and fail to consider the implications of static head. All vessels not under vacuum have a static head component of pressure.
The static head may vary from insignificant for a horizontal vessel under vacuum to very high for a tall liquid-filled vessel. As an example, let's consider a vessel that has a seam-to-seam height of 47 ft. 8 in. and contains a mix of hydrocarbons and a liquid ionic catalyst (hydrogen fluoride). The average density of the liquid is 48.8 lb/ft3 at operating conditions. The U-1 form indicates the vessel is designed to handle 165 psig at 250°F.
Per the ASME code, the pressure relief device must open at or before any part of the vessel reaches the design pressure. Figure 1 shows the vessel layout with the current pressure relief valve (PRV) location as Option 1 and a new proposed location as Option 2.

MATC or WCTC?? - page 2
Just wanted some feedback on which school would be the better choice for me to pursue an ADN. Any help would be much appreciated!... Read More
0May 18, '12 by wctcsn1I just finished up my first semester in the nursing program last week. There are many rumors floating around out there, so here goes. First of all, you DO have to be a resident of Waukesha County to enroll in the program. There are a few students left (living outside of the county) who were grandfathered into the program because they started before the rule was put into effect. When you first enroll at WCTC you are automatically enrolled into the "pre-nursing" program. It will take you 2 - 3 semesters to complete your prerequisites (general and advanced A&P, Microbiology, along with additional courses). You are required to be enrolled as a "pre-nursing" student for ONE YEAR before you will be eligible to petition to get into the nursing program (even if you transfer most of your credits). You also cannot petition until ALL of your prerequisites are completed. This includes taking the Nursing Assistant course (can be taken outside of WCTC) and being certified in BLS for Healthcare Providers (CPR - American Heart Association). Once you finish all of your prerequisites, you can petition to get in. Some students are accepted the first time they petition, some are accepted the second time. I found many of the rumors - instructors like to kick people out, etc. - to be untrue. My instructors were a wealth of knowledge and were willing to help me whenever I needed it. With that being said, they are not going to hold you hand through the program. If you're experiencing difficulty, it will be up to you to initiate intervention. WCTC has a learning lab with tutors available for somewhere around $5.00/ semester. They also have math and writing workshops available for students before the semester starts. The program is a lot of work. You start out the semester taking Nursing Fundamentals, Pharmacology and Nursing Skills. They throw a lot of information at you the first two weeks, so you have to be very organized. If you procrastinate and get behind in your reading/assignments you may not be able to catch up. The first Skills class is a challenge for students. You have to pass this class (runs over 8 weeks) with a 79% or you cannot go on to your Clinical assignment. Basically, students who practice in the Skills Lab pass Skills. Students who don't practice don't pass Skills. Your first clinical assignment runs over the last 8 weeks of the semester. I had an excellent experience, as did most of the student I talked to. You will be assigned a patient the day before and are expected to go home and prep on your patient. You have to come to clinical prepared to take care of your patient. If you are not prepared your instructor may ask you to leave. Just like everything else in the Nursing Program, you will get out of it what you put into it. I talked to a nursing student from MSOE. He bragged to me about how he went through 3 1/2 semesters of school without wiping a butt. This will not happen at WCTC. The instructors there believe in giving you the most challenging patients so you are prepared when you get out in the real world. Good luck wherever you choose to go and if you don't want to work your butt off, pick another major!

Heroin use is on the rise in Issaquah and King County
December 30, 2014
Over a year ago, in June 2013, then-Issaquah Police Chief Paul Ayers said the use of heroin locally was on the rise.
"It appears the use of heroin has risen over the meth usage," Ayers said.
The situation has not improved.
Two Issaquah powerhouses become one as schools foundation and community network merge
June 9, 2014
NEW — 5:45 p.m. June 9, 2014
Two leading youth advocate organizations — the Issaquah Schools Foundation and Issaquah Community Network — are joining forces to better serve students of the Issaquah School District.

Liberty student wins 'Influence the Choice' video contest
April 16, 2014
NEW — 6 a.m. April 16, 2014
Liberty High School junior Ashton Herrild took home the top prize in the Drug Free Community Coalition's 2014 "Influence the Choice" student video contest.
Herrild's two-minute video encouraged peers to "live for the nights you'll never forget," rather than "the nights you won't remember," and live a drug-free life. His overall win came with a prize of $800.
More than 100 Issaquah School District students worked to submit 54 videos encouraging their peers to say no to prescription drugs, alcohol and marijuana. The students spent an estimated 400 hours crafting the videos.
Advisory board tackles youth substance abuse
March 25, 2014
Although drug abuse is a widely discussed topic, few dig deeper into the underlying causes, the reasons why youths would start risking their health by using dangerous substances.
Today's generation of teenagers are faced with unprecedented challenges on a daily basis: family conflicts, rigorous schoolwork, bullying, peer pressure and sky-high parental expectations, just to name a few.
Not knowing how to deal with and manage the stress and emotions that result from these issues often leave teenagers in a dangerous predicament.
Viewing drugs or alcohol as the only way to cope with their distress, many young people practice this harmful behavior and put their lives at risk. Easy access to illegal substances and a lack of understanding of the effects drugs have on their developing bodies further push teens toward substance abuse.
Teen filmmakers are wanted for Influence the Choice video contest
January 4, 2014
NEW — 3:50 p.m. Jan. 4, 2013
Back by popular demand, the Issaquah Drug Free Community Coalition is again sponsoring its "Influence the Choice" video contest.
Issaquah School District students in sixth through 12th grades are invited to create video commercials (up to two minutes) that positively influence their friends to resist alcohol, marijuana and prescription drug temptations.
The deadline for submission is Feb. 28.
Liz Wilhelm to coordinate drug free grant program
December 10, 2013
Liz Wilhelm has been selected as the project coordinator for the federal Drug Free Community grant awarded to the Issaquah Drug Free Community Coalition and the city of Issaquah in September.
The grant, which will bring $125,000 per year for up to 10 years to the Issaquah School District service area, is aimed at reducing teen alcohol, marijuana and prescription drug abuse. Hiring a local project coordinator to oversee a coalition work plan and funding expenditures is a requirement of the grant.
Wilhelm, an instructor at the University of Washington and Seattle Central Community College, has an extensive background in substance abuse prevention. Previously, she served as project coordinator for a Drug Free Community grant in Kitsap County. She authored Seattle Central's prevention curriculum.
City receives drug control grant
September 10, 2013
NEW — 10:30 a.m. Sept. 10, 2013
The Office of National Drug Control Policy has announced the list of 2013 Drug Free Communities grant recipients and Issaquah is on it.
Drug Free Communities grants provide $125,000 per year for up to 10 years targeted at reducing teen drug and alcohol abuse.
"This grant will really enable us to make a positive difference in the greater Issaquah School District service area," Vicki Hoffman, chairwoman of the Issaquah Drug Free Community Coalition, said in a news release. "We are so excited for the community and for our kids."
The Drug Free Community Coalition was formed in 2011 as a standing subcommittee of the Issaquah Community Network, a state-funded organization with a mission to support healthy youth and strong families.

I just wish people in my area understands. I don't want to be indoors, I am human and taking slow walks in my new neighborhood this year and get bad remarks from people when they see my belly. I don't want to get into deep depression again,..I'm stable and want to enjoy life,just like everyone. It is just not fair when people stare and I get laughed at. The story of my life!!!

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.

View Kessler interview
Ronald Kessler: Tea Party Now 'Conscience' of Congressional Republicans
Monday, January 3, 2011 07:12 PM
By: Jim Meyers and Ashley Martella
Newsmax*s chief Washington correspondent Ronald Kessler says it*s not
*in Obama*s DNA* to move more to the center following big Republican
gains in the midterm elections.
He also asserts that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid *has blinders on*
regarding the wishes of most Americans, calls the tea party movement the
*conscience* of congressional Republicans, and doubts that Sarah Palin
can win the White House in 2012.
Kessler is a New York Times best-selling author whose latest book is *In
the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the
Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect.* His next book, about the
FBI, is due out in August.
In an interview with Newsmax.TV, Kessler was asked what Republicans*
priorities will be in the next session of Congress now that they have
won the House.
*Number one, they*re going to try to pass a bill to repeal the
healthcare law,* Kessler responds.
*Of course Obama will veto it and the Senate probably would not pass it,
so it*s largely a symbolic gesture. But in addition they*re going to be
going after the healthcare bill by trying to take away the
appropriations, change regulations. That is priority number one.
*Secondly, they*re going to be coming up with ways to reduce spending.
They*ll be coming up with proposals in fact every week, and other
measures to try to create more jobs, including getting rid of
regulations, creating more certainty. That would be the beginning of the
new Congress.*
Kessler believes the GOP vanguard will be apprehensive of the new
freshman class on Congress, including Sens. Marco Rubio and Rand Paul.
*They certainly are looking over their shoulders at those more
conservative new members, as well as tea party members,* he says.
*The tea party movement is really serving as a conscience of Republicans
in Congress now.*
He also believes Harry Reid will find it more difficult to advance his
leftist agenda, *but I don*t think that*s going to stop him. He clearly,
like Nancy Pelosi, has blinders on.
*He has no regard for the wishes of the American people overall, and as
a result I think they*re going to be dinosaurs.*
Asked if he thinks Obama will take a cue from Bill Clinton, who moved
his presidency more to the center following big GOP gains in 1994,
Kessler tells Newsmax: *I don*t. I don*t think it*s in Obama*s DNA to
become more centrist whatsoever.
*I think he*s so out of touch with the American people, as we saw with
him expressing support for [football star] Michael Vick, who killed
innocent animals. That is the real Obama, and you*re going to see that
continue for the rest of his term.*
Assessing the president*s performance on national security, Kessler
*On one hand Obama is doing a very good job in killing terrorists with
predators. On the other hand his equivocating about Gitmo, his letting
war detainees out * and 25 percent of them return to terrorism * his
policy of prosecuting former CIA people who were just doing
interrogations that were approved by the Justice Department, all this
undercuts morale and creates the perception that Obama is not really
serious about pursuing the war on terror.*
Following the acquittal of Guantanamo Bay detainee Ahmed Ghailani on
most charges in a civilian court, the Obama administration will likely
give up on trying terror suspects in civilian courts and instead will
either detain them indefinitely at Gitmo, or eventually try them in
military courts, Kessler maintains, adding: *I don*t think Obama will
ever close Gitmo because there*s simply no way to do it.*
Asked about potential Republican presidential candidates in 2012,
Kessler says: *Mitt Romney almost always shows up at number one in the
polls, but he doesn*t seem to connect very well with the American
people, at least so far.
*But he is certainly one possibility. I think he would stand the best
chance of getting the most independents, even Democrats, to vote for
*He*s been so successful in his career, I would not count him out. I
think he*s probably got a few tricks up his sleeve.*
As for Mike Huckabee, he raised taxes as governor of Arkansas and *that
would be a strike against him among conservatives. I just don*t know if
he would get enough support nationwide to make it.*
And Kessler said about Sarah Palin: *She*s great to listen to, but I
think when you actually talk to people in the conservative movement,
there*s hardly one leader who thinks she should be president.
*You see that in the polls. You see the unfavorable rating that she has,
which is pretty startling. So I hope she continues to be a champion of
the conservative cause. But being president, I don*t see it.*

a catchier post title? I mean, I don't wish to tell you how to run your blog, but suppose you added something that grabbed folk's attention? I mean The Breakup Bitch — The Smart Woman's Breakup is a little
boring. You could glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they create news headlines to get viewers
interested. You might try adding a video or a related
picture or two to grab readers excited about what you've got to say.Just my opinion, it would bring your website a little bit more interesting.

DATE: June 4, 2014
SUBJECT: Strategic Implementation Planning
The purpose of this memo is to update the Mayor and Council on my understanding of the strategic planning needs of the City/Council. After input from the body, I will submit a proposal to the 3 organizations I have been in contact with that provide planning facilitation and collect feedback on their ability to meet the specific goals and objectives as defined by the Council.[1] It is important that the Council is on the same page to lay a strong foundation for the planning process.
Strategic planning can be very time intensive; the City of Valdez spent a year and a half developing a strategic plan for the community. The goal for this planning session is simpler; to build on the work that has gone into the many plans the City, with input from the public, has. From what I understand, rather than a strategic plan the Council is looking for an action plan; however some strategizing needs to be done first. Rather than laying out a broad and long term vision for the City, the purpose of the 'action plan' is to lay out specific goals and steps needed to achieve them. Because the Council has limited time to dedicate to this process a small group, such as key staff and the mayor, will need to work with the consultant to narrow the focus and put together an agenda for the session. Taking all the implementation items from the many City of Homer plans is far too intimidating of a task for a large group to take on.
The strategic planning with the Council may have to occur in two planning sessions: 1) to establish the Council's priorities and goals and 2) A strategy for implementing the goals and priorities identified.
Scope of Work:
The Homer City council is interested in a facilitated planning session to help narrow and target the direction and focus of the City and City projects. The City has developed many plans over the years with extensive public input. However, the need exists for a global vision on prioritizing and executing these plans. To put it bluntly, the City needs a plan for implementing the plans.
Current plans include:
-Comprehensive Plan (2008 adopted 2010)
-Capital Improvement Plan (updated annually)
-Water and Sewer Master Plan (2006)
-City of Homer Non-motorized Trails and Transportation Plan (2004)
-Homer Area Transportation Plan (2005)
-Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (2011)
-Homer Spit Plan (2011)
-Homer Town Center Development Plan (2006)
-Land Allocation Plan (updated annually)
Others (individual park plans):
-Karen Hornaday Park Master Plan
-Diamond Creek Recreation Area Plan
Time frame: The City is interested in hiring a facilitator for a one day session, approximately 8hours. This may be followed up with a second planning session at a later date.
Budget: $5,000-$7,000
End product: A five year action plan that prioritizes City projects and areas of focus.
Requested Action:
Provide staff with feedback on the proposal for strategic implementation planning. Discuss potential dates (at least broadly) to give staff a starting place for communicating with facilitators and gauging the time line for work that has to be done before the 8 hour planning session.

'Trollhunter' Director André Øvredal's Next Project Is Going to Be 'Enormous'
In Development By Nathan Adams on October 10, 2012 | Comments (1)Director André Øvredal's Norwegian found footage horror movie, Trollhunter, was a lot more fun that most found footage horror movies, because it didn't spend any time trying to convince you that what you were watching was real, it instead put all of its efforts toward making a dumb, fun troll movie with the best looking trolls that their modest budget could afford. So, on that level, it was a huge success, because Trollhunter is a big, dumb movie that's a lot of fun to watch and all of the big, dumb trolls in it look pretty great. Which makes Øvredal a prime candidate to helm a live action adaptation of Tim Daniel and Mehdi Cheggour's comic book "Enormous." Originally published by Image Comics, "Enormous" is set in a world where humanity is being overrun by gigantic beasts who are wrecking our cities and eating our children. It's kind of like Godzilla if Godzilla brought friends. According to THR, producer Adrian Askarieh is looking to take a Cloverfield-like approach to adapting the material, wherein the people being stepped on will get more of the focus than the monsters doing the stepping. That's not the whole story when it comes to what he has planned, however.
'Klown' Stars Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam Talk Canoes, Underberg, and Child Nudity
Features By Brian Salisbury on July 5, 2012 | Be the First To CommentWhen you watch enough movies, you come to associate canoe trips with many reprehensible things. Among these unfortunate associations are banjo music, forced sodomy, and leaving the house. Still, undaunted by the twanging intro of "Dueling Banjos" that may or may not have only existed in our heads, a group of intrepid movie fans loaded up and headed to Spring Branch, Texas for the Alamo Drafthouse's Klown canoe trip and outdoor screening. While in the film, Casper (Casper Christensen) and Frank (Frank Hvam) are on a Tour de Pussy, we were more or less on a Tour de Someone's-Assuredly-Not-Making-It-Back. As liquored up as Drafthouse impresario Tim League would allow, which is to say to our eyeballs, we set out on the Guadalupe River and took in the beauty and wonder of nature…as we tried, some of us futilely, to keep from capsizing where it was deep enough, and grinding to an embarrassing halt where the drought had made a puddle of the mighty river. Arriving back at camp at various degrees of dampness, we sat down for a glorious screening of the Danish comedy under the gorgeous Texas sky. I laughed heartily into the mouth of my ever-dwindling flask; delighted to be seeing the film again. The next day, in the throws of a beautiful hangover, I stumbled into a back room at The Highball in Austin–with no recollection of how I got back to the city–to find the stars of the film restrained in a strange Tiki gulag from […]
Joe Cornish Says Someday You'll Probably See More 'Attack the Block' in Some Form, Eventually
Movie News By Nathan Adams on October 14, 2011 | Be the First To CommentOne of the biggest, most well liked movies of this summer was Joe Cornish's hoods vs. aliens movie Attack the Block. Well, if you're talking to only films buffs that is. I don't think too many regular people ever heard about the movie let alone went to see it. But those of us privy to genre film weirdness totally dug Cornish's unique yet sort of old school approach to doing an alien invasion/monster movie. Surely there's got to be a cult of Attack the Block loyalists growing somewhere out there in the land of the Internet, and I bet they're thirsty for more punk on gorilla dog violence. Well, according to comments that Cornish recently gave IFC, some random day happening an unknowable length of time from now just might be your lucky day! Probably.

The Message (MSG) | New International Version (NIV) |
11 Later, when Peter came to Antioch, I had a face-to-face confrontation with him because he was clearly out of line. | 11 When Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong. |
12 Here's the situation. Earlier, before certain persons had come from James, Peter regularly ate with the non-Jews. But when that conservative group came from Jerusalem, he cautiously pulled back and put as much distance as he could manage between himself and his non-Jewish friends. That's how fearful he was of the conservative Jewish clique that's been pushing the old system of circumcision. | 12 Before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. |
13 Unfortunately, the rest of the Jews in the Antioch church joined in that hypocrisy so that even Barnabas was swept along in the charade. | 13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray. |
14 But when I saw that they were not maintaining a steady, straight course according to the Message, I spoke up to Peter in front of them all: "If you, a Jew, live like a non-Jew when you're not being observed by the watchdogs from Jerusalem, what right do you have to require non-Jews to conform to Jewish customs just to make a favorable impression on your old Jerusalem cronies?" | 14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? |
15 We Jews know that we have no advantage of birth over "non-Jewish sinners." | 15 "We who are Jews by birth and not 'Gentile sinners' |
16 We know very well that we are not set right with God by rule-keeping but only through personal faith in Jesus Christ. How do we know? We tried it - and we had the best system of rules the world has ever seen! Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as the Messiah so that we might be set right before God by trusting in the Messiah, not by trying to be good. | 16 know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. |
17 Have some of you noticed that we are not yet perfect? (No great surprise, right?) And are you ready to make the accusation that since people like me, who go through Christ in order to get things right with God, aren't perfectly virtuous, Christ must therefore be an accessory to sin? The accusation is frivolous. | 17 "If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not! |
18 If I was "trying to be good," I would be rebuilding the same old barn that I tore down. I would be acting as a charlatan. | 18 If I rebuild what I destroyed, I prove that I am a lawbreaker. |
19 What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn't work. So I quit being a "law man" so that I could be God's man. | 19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God. |
20 Christ's life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not "mine," but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. | 20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. |
21 I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God's grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily. | 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!" |

I've been having fun listening to commentators – most of whom appear to know little or nothing about trademark law – expound on last week's decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to cancel six trademark registrations for variations of the word REDSKINS as the name of Washington, D.C.'s pro football team. One observer described it as a "landmark" decision, and several have prophesied that it marks "the beginning of the end" of the team's controversial nickname.
The decision may turn out to have significant impact on the team politically and in terms of public relations. But legally…not so much.
