Salt Lake City Urgent Care
Salt Lake City Urgent Care is
dedicated to helping patients in
need of immediate health care
locate Ugent Care Centers,
Convenience Care Clinics (RetailClinics)
and private doctors who offer
walk in appointments and same
day doctor visits in the Salt Lake City area.
Salt Lake City Urgent Care
will help patients seeking
immediate care understand the
differences between urgent care
centers, retail clinics and
physicians willing to see same
day patient appointments in
Salt Lake City in order to
assist them in determining where
to obtain appropriate care.
Finding a doctor in
Salt Lake City willing to
accept same day appointments can
be difficult.
Salt Lake City Urgent Care
will serve as a directory to
help patients locate these same
day doctors in
Salt Lake City and obtain
access to care.
The common thread to all three
of these medical establishments
is immediate access to health
care. A survey released in
August 2008 found that 73
percent of people said they had
difficulty getting access to
their doctor when they needed
to. Thirty percent of those
surveyed reported that it was
hard to get a next-day
appointment when they were sick.
Sixty percent said it was
difficult to get care from their
personal doctor on weekends or
in the evening. Greater than 40
percent of respondents said
that, even during regular
business hours, they had trouble
getting advice from their doctor
on the telephone. Urgent care
centers, Retail Clinics and
private doctors offering same
day appointments throughout Salt Lake City focus on improving
health care access to patients
with immediate need.

Urgent Care Centers:
Although there in no nationally
accepted definition of what
exactly is an urgent care
center, their scope of services
falls between the primary care
doctors office and the emergency
room. Urgent Care centers offer
acute, non-emergent care
emphasizing customer service.
Most Salt Lake City Urgent Care
centers offer walk in visits,
extended weekday and weekend
hours as well as expanded
services compared to primary
care doctors offices.
Many services provided in Salt Lake City Urgent Care centers
are offered in primary care
doctor's offices. In addition
they usually include on site
radiology, as well as laceration
repair, administration of
intravenous fluids, occupational
health care, on site laboratory
testing and on site medication
The first urgent care centers in
the United States opened in the
1980's and that number has grown
to more than 12,000 to 20,000
centers today. Although most
Urgent Care centers accept
patients of all ages some
specialize only in pediatric

Salt Lake City Convenient Care Clinics
(Retail Clinics)
According to the Convenient Care
Association Convenient Care
Clinics are small health care
facilities located in convenient
settings accessible to the
public. They provide non-
emergency services to walk-in
patients, regardless of
insurance status, at affordable
prices seven days a week.
Convenient Care Clinics are
primarily staffed by advanced
practice nurses, including nurse
practitioners. Convenient Care
Clinics may also be staffed by
physician assistants and/or
physicians. Convenient Care
Clinics provide quality care for
common episodic ailments, as
well as immunizations,
physicals, and health
screenings. As of November 2007,
there were close to 800
Convenient Care Clinics in the
United States. This number is
predicted to grow to 1500 by the
end of 2008.
Their scope of services are extremely limited compared to both Urgent Care centers and physicians offices who accept walk in patients. These sites are not designed to address urgent issues. Lacerations and minor fractures for example would not be cared for in these Convenience Care Clinic settings. Much like Urgent Care centers, continuity of care with patient follow up is not a primary focus of these Retail Clinics.
Below is a list of Salt Lake City Convenience
Care Clinics /Retail Clinics
Private physicians offices offering same day appointments:
Many private physicians in
both primary care and various
specialties throughout Salt Lake City have begun to
recognize the need for providing
immediate access to patients in
need of urgent and less urgent
immediate medical care. The
services offered by these
private physicians varies from
doctor to doctor and is
consistent with the services
customarily offered in their
Some of these Salt Lake City doctors
have established their practice
as a Concierge medical practice.
In doing so they limit their
patient volume and provide
immediate access in exchange for
a yearly fee. Other physicians
have added extended office hours
and employed
Physician Assistants and nurse
practitioners to assist in
immediate patient care.
The obvious advantage is that
patients receive continuity of
care from their private
physicians with whom they
already have an established

Double chocolate peanut butter surprises
By Tali Simon | December 29, 2011
At 6 a.m. on Tuesday this week, I got a text message from my due-any-day-now friend. She had given birth to a boy! Yay!
I'm still not sure what's more amazing: The fact that I heard my phone go off at 6 a.m., or the fact that I managed to comprehend her Hebrew text AND reply before rolling over and going back to sleep.
When I woke up later, I wasn't sure whether I'd dreamed the whole thing. But I checked my phone and…yep! She had the baby, alright!
Now I had two baking assignments: the shalom zachar would be taking place Friday night and the bris would follow on Monday. And because the bris is going to be fleishig (only in Israel…), everything has to be pareve.
This is something of a challenge for me, a person of limited pareve baking supplies. For example: I have no way of melting chocolate without making it dairy, but I just couldn't get cake pops off the brain.
I think I watched, like, six YouTube videos on making cake pops. This was a very good use of my time, I assure you.
Anyway, I'll be bringing a plate of these double chocolate peanut butter surprises over for the shalom zachor, and I have to say, they're pretty awesome. Plus they have the blue sprinkles. I really needed something blue for the little guy.
If you like chocolate and peanut butter (and who doesn't?) you really need to try these. They're intensely chocolatey and intensely peanut buttery, all at the same time. They're moist, they're chewy, and yes, they're gooey (or at least they were straight out of the oven).
If these weren't going to a shalom zachar, I'd probably bring along a bag of milk.
Ingredients Directions 1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside. Sift together flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Set that aside, too. 2. Using a hand-held electric mixer or a stand mixer, beat margarine, ½ cup granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing until fully combined between additions. Add vanilla and mix again. 3. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until fully combined (if you're using a hand-held mixer, you may need to switch to mixing with your hands toward the end). Add chocolate chips and mix again to evenly distribute. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill 15 minutes to firm slightly. Preheat oven to 350 F/180 C about 5 minutes before done. 4. In a small bowl, stir together peanut butter and remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar. 5. Drop 1 tablespoon of the dough at a time onto baking sheets, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart. Make a thumbprint in the center of each cookie and fill it with the peanut butter mixture (don't use too much, or it will spill out). Top with a second tablespoon of carefully shaped dough. Mold dough to cover the surprise. Note: This makes pretty big cookies. For smaller cookies like the ones pictured, use half-tablespoons of dough instead. 6. If you like, dip the tops of the cookies in sprinkles. Bake until firm, about 12 minutes, rotating halfway through. Let cool at least 5 minutes before moving.

My wrestling fan days are all but over but there was still a frisson of excitement in my bones when WWE 13 loaded up for the first time.
From: THQ
For: Xbox 360, PS3, Wii
Four stars (out of five)
A year after THQ took the game that accompanies professional wrestling's biggest brand in a bold new direction, the developer returns with some shines and tweaks.
Most notable, especially for those of us of a certain age, is the introduction of a new story mode called ''Attitude''.
For the uninitiated, the ''Attitude Era'' refers to a seismic period in wrestling history. Two shows - Raw (WWE) and Nitro (WCW) - were competing on Monday nights. Nitro, backed by Ted Turner's millions and with the great Hulk Hogan on board, started to win the ratings war, and WWE owner Vince McMahon knew he had to do something about it.
The new Attitude mode in WWE 13 has dashes of the grubby stuff but do not let that put you off. It's a fun, well paced mode that allows you to recreate some of the era's iconic events.
Challenges within each level provide extra playability, and there are loads and loads of unlockable goodies.
A second major mode - Universe - returns, and allows you to experience month after month of shows and pay-per-views, playing or simulating anything you like.
Wrestling games have always been big on customisation and WWE 13 goes HUGE on customisation. More creative types can spend hours upon hours shaping and crafting their dream superstar, complete with belts and finishing moves.
Inside the ring, the game plays much as it did last year. While I still pine for the old control system - up, down, triangle equals the DDT - it is very simple to pull off a huge range of moves. Shame the reversal mechanic is still frustrating, though.
Modern wrestling fans will lap up WWE 13 and find months of gameplay inside. Old-timers like me will forget the responsibilities of adulthood for a while and rediscover our attitude.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.

Wow, I wish I would have seen this thread sooner. I will test this asap. I am in the same boat. Windows XBMC works fine but my openelec on a zotac 90 and asrock 330ht reboots when I try to select a ATSC channel but it have worked intermittently I have zero problems with playing TV from my colossus or HDPVR..

So far this hasn't helped me. I think it is because my buffer and record drives were on usb drive. I just partitioned my c and moved the folders there. I am about to restart and try again. I will post back shortly.

This is ridiculous. I can't get my ATSC channels to work on my openelec setup. My 2 HDPVR and 1 colossus work fine but my ATSC via HD Homerun resets unless I restart my server, restarting TV service doesn't work.
I am thinking about going back to a xbmc windows 8 build because it works perfectly fine on my 2 W8 machines. I redid the sharing on my backend, only one account for the buffer and record folders. And I added the sources to each openelec client machine, with user id and password. The ts file is being created by the openelec machine but it abruptly resets. I have tried setting a delay but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any additional things to try? I am getting desperate, any having any ATSC tunning problems with any of the openelec gotham builds or frodo 12.3?

Here's a clear difference between Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama: Mr. Romney said he won't be filling out an NCAA college basketball tournament bracket this year.
"I'm not plugged in well enough this year to do that," Mr. Romney told reporters traveling with him on Tuesday in Missouri, the Associated Press reported.
Mr. Obama, on the other hand, is making his choices public again this year. The First Fan even brought British Prime Minister David Cameron to a "First Four" game in Dayton, Ohio, on Tuesday between Mississippi Valley State and Western Kentucky. ESPN disclosed the president's Final Four picks — Kentucky, Ohio State, Missouri and North Carolina – and will release his entire bracket on Wednesday.

Owners' Reviews
2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMG Reviews and Owner Comments
2005 Mercedes-Benz C55 AMGVisitor, Tacoma, WA, January 08, 2014 09:30Replaced a C43 and is both a much harder (sportier) drive and feels much less "special". I had thought sportier the better but for me this is as hardcore as I wish to go and I admit to driving in gearbox C mode 90% of the time S and M reserved for learning my limitations. Good features are the engine, top brakes, the engine, reasonable ride handling compromise and did I mention the engine. Actual car is just loaded W203 meaning just sort of upmarket Hyundai but at least the rusting is now at Ford levels unlike the W202. 20mpg is about it (unlike the C43 at 24mpg) so I have never made 300 miles on a tank. Don't think DTM/Numburgring, think Hotrod and 1/4 mile and you will love it.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

I would very much appreciate any suggestion you could give on :
1) Whether or not I should take them immediately, or perhaps leave them in for a bit and wait 'til a moment the hens are far away to not "traumatise" them :-)
2) Whether I should place an egg somewhere where I want them to lay in the future, away from danger of course.
3) (I'd made them two nests, but I assume it was the ducks in the coop to destroy them…) Whether or not and how I should make them another nest.
4) General behaviour I should have with and for them.

I'm Only Human
Don Beers

Author requests article critique
I�m only human�
Each of us have thought it, most of us have said it. �I know Jesus did some pretty amazing things, but I can�t follow Him as closely as I�d like to, I�m only human.�
How can you relate to someone who exhibited superhuman abilities? Sometimes we feel as if there is a great gulf between our Lord and us because of our inability to �imitate� Him. Our heart aches for a deeper relationship with Him, but because of the differences between Him and us, we settle for less, but our hearts and our souls long for more.
We�ve all been in situations that called for Divine intervention; that is, we�ve all had days when the obstacle before us would take an act of God to remove, but we are powerless against it.
We�ve trapped ourselves and we�ve unwittingly allowed ourselves to be further bound when we read on the back of T-shirts, on bumper stickers and book covers those now famous words, �What would Jesus do?� and once we realize what He would do, we feel as if we have to do �it� ourselves, only to discover that we can�t.
Once we realize that we can�t do �it� we then sink lower into despair and feel worse; the situation itself was bad enough, but now we feel like failures and there are some of us who have even wondered, because of the situation and subsequent failure, if we are really saved at all.
Some of us have found a measure of comfort by saying �Well, I know I�m supposed to do this or that because Jesus did, but I can�t, I�m only human. It was easy for Him to do this or that, after all, He�s God.� It sounds good and on the face of it, it does seem to make sense, but, is it true?
There are still others among us who have cried themselves to sleep at night because they don�t know exactly why they fail in so many areas of this life. The fowls of the air have nested in the branches, if you will, and that is exactly what Jesus said would happen, in Mark 4:32.
The fowls of the air spoken of in Mark�s Good News are the adversaries of both God and men. Like vultures, the god of this world circles around men and women who have fainted. Heart sick and broken, desperate for victory, but finding defeat at every turn, they lie down at night and long for death to take them home. �Why bother? I�ve tried and tried to live this Christian life and all I�ve been able to do is to make things worse. I quit.� The vultures have landed.
�Life stinks! I don�t know why I even bother. I wish I�d never heard about Jesus and I sure wish I�d never started this journey in the first place.� We say. �Life was bad enough as it was, but this? This is even worse.� More vultures are drawn to the scent of death and begin to peck away at our minds.
�If only I were like Jesus, I could forgive more than I do. I could love more than I do. But, it was easy for Him, He�s God. I don�t understand, the pastor told us we are �called to be like Jesus�, but no matter how hard I try, I just can�t do it. Why did I ever start with this nonsense in the first place?� Peck, peck.
Sadly, many have turned away from the Lord because of this. You either know them or you are �them� and even though you�ve all but given up, you happen to be reading this. Don�t stop now, this is gonna� be good, refreshing and the �hope� you�ve wanted will be yours.
The first question ever asked in scripture was God saying; �Adam, where are you?� and there are many churches that still ask the people �Where are you at in your life?� and although that has its place, we need to realize that there is another question we must ask and answer, for the answer to the second question will provide the answer to the first one.
You see, not only are we to read our bibles, but we need to read them with one purpose in mind. Just one. Like the wise men who came from the east seeking the Child, we can open our bibles and ask the same question they did; �Where is He?� Matthew 2:2
No matter where you open your bible to, look for Him, search for Him the same way Joseph and Mary did when they had traveled three days without Him. (Many of us have traveled a few days unaware that we�ve �lost track� of Jesus, but do what Mary and Joseph did, go back to the place where you �saw� Him last and talk to Him, you�ll be blessed to know that He�ll �go home with you.�)
There are many of us who have acquired a tremendous amount of theology. We�ve accumulated so much information about God, but in our digging through the gold mine of scripture, we�ve failed to find the treasure. We may know a lot about God, but we don�t know God. Yet none of us have attained to the level of the Apostle Paul.
If there was ever a man who lived, other than Jesus, who had a powerful grip on theology, it was Paul. But, what did Paul do with all that theology? How valuable was it to him after He�d seen Jesus? I�ll let him tell you himself, read his words in Philippians 3.
�Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith��
It was, in his own words, �Dung.� Manure. Pooh-pooh. He counted his years of study under the famous Rabbi Gamaliel as being equal to body excrement. Now, before you discount what is really being said here, let�s take a look at this �dung� for a minute.
�Dung� is nothing more than proof that we�ve been fed. Paul had been fed by one of the reputably finest teachers of his day and the �food� he�d taken in had served its purpose, it brought him to Jesus. It was now to be discharged, eliminated.
In the same way, there are things we�ve been fed that need to be eliminated. They�ve served their purpose inside of us, but now it�s time to flush. After all, if you don�t go to the bathroom, you�re going to be bloated (the bible uses the phrase �puffed up�), miserable and you�re life is going to stink.
The purpose of the law is to bring men to Christ and in the same way we have imposed on men some laws that either are or are not in scripture. In our frustration and despair some of us have even considered going back to the life we�d known before we came to church. (This is sometimes different than coming to Jesus)
The message telling us to �be like Jesus� weighs heavy on our hearts and minds and we find ourselves powerless to do it. Some of us have, by God�s grace, come this far, but there are among us some brothers and sisters who are about ready to throw it all away. Maybe, you�re one of them.
�Of course, Jesus could walk on water, He was God, but don�t expect me to!� Some of us are saying.
�I know I�m to forgive 490 times, but I can�t, I�m only human. I have a limit and sooner or later, I�ll �snap�.� Others of you are thinking. �Jesus could forgive, He was God.�
Our dilemma is only made worse when we hear messages telling us to �be holy� and we go our way trying to be holy, but at the end of the day we�ve only succeeded in making a bad situation worse. Our efforts, though well intended, may have produced fruit. Grapefruit!
Sermons telling us that we are to �be perfect� only serve to magnify our helplessness and try as we might, we come up short. �Well, it was easy for Jesus to be perfect, He�s God. But it�s not fair or reasonable to expect that of me. I�m only human.�
Well, gang, we�re in good company. In fact, we�re in the best company of all. For you see, there was a time when Jesus could have said �I�m only human.� For, in every way, he was. That is the mystery we read about in 1 Timothy 3:16, but before we forget, this is also information that the �fowls of the air� don�t want us to get a hold of. Our knowing this will deprive them of a meal.
In a way that we may never understand, God became a man. Trying to comprehend how God Almighty could become a human being is like trying to picture a man becoming an ant. How could the Omnipotent One transform Himself into a mere mortal? How could He, who is immortal, take on mortality?
We all know the story of Jesus� temptation, but what we overlook are the first few words that begin the tale of His journey.
In Matthew 3:16 and reading through Matthew 4:1, we see that;
�And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, �This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.�
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.�
When He was on the earth, if He�d come as God Almighty, why then did He need to be baptized? Why did He need to be baptized in the Spirit? If He�d come as God in all His power, why did He need the power, the anointing, the indwelling of God the Spirit?
Furthermore, if He�d come as God the Sovereign One, then why did He have to be �led?� Being God, wouldn�t He already have known where to go? Why did Jesus have to be led anywhere?
Before He came to earth, He was in Heaven. Simple enough. But, what He didn�t know was what it was like to have a will of His own. The Father, the Son and the Spirit were �on the same page� about everything. We call it �harmony.�
In one garden man exercised his own will. In another garden, Gethsemane, Jesus knew what it�s like to have a will that would attempt to remain independent. Why else would He have said �not my will, but yours be done�? He didn�t just take our sins; He took upon Himself our nature. By nature we have a wretched desire to remain independent, but, He overcame the �unholy� spirit by the Holy Spirit and remained dependent on God.
On a more personal level; if Jesus had come as God, in all His power, majesty and glory, which of us could relate to Him? We can only relate to people who are like us.
I might be able to carry on a conversation with the billionaire owner of Microsoft, but I�d never be able to relate to him and I sure can�t comprehend his lifestyle. It�s beyond my mental abilities to grasp the ease by which he�s built and paid for a $64,000,000 house!
We might be able to talk, but since I can�t �come up� to his level financially, there�s only one way Bill Gates and I could relate; he�d have to come down to my level. Now, try to imagine Mr. Gates choosing to leave his wealth behind and all the power that comes with it, just so he could have a relationship with me! I could only have a relationship with Bill, if he became like me in every way. That�s the difference between �relating to someone� and �identifying with them.�
Well, in an immeasurably larger way, this is precisely what God has done.
Jesus, God the Son, left it ALL behind. How He was able to suspend, if you will, His power, His might, His glory and majesty long enough to come to you and me? This is not only the mystery, but it is also the hope we have in Him!
God the Son came as the helpless Bethlehem babe. If he�d come in all of His power, then why would God the Father have sent an angel telling Joseph to �run for your lives� when Herod had decreed that all the boys be slaughtered? Why were they told to �protect God?�
Now, I�ll agree that we are to �be like Jesus� but where we get ourselves into troubles, heartache and despair is when we fail to keep our own lives in context. What I mean is that we think (which leads to �belief�) is that we are to follow Him as He is NOW. This isn�t what the bible teaches and it surely is not what Jesus meant when He said �follow Me.�
We want to follow Him and He sure wants us to follow Him. That�s why He came. But the one thing we need to see and believe is that there can only be one way that we are like Him at all.
He, that is Jesus, God the Son, accepted that He was completely helpless and needed the very power He�d left behind, if He were to be useful to God. Which of us can�t relate to the �helpless� and �powerless� part? But, it�s so much more than that.
He left it all behind so we wouldn�t be left behind. He didn�t do what He did so we could relate to Him, no, He did it so He could identify with us! Before His leaving His Father and before His leaving heaven, He couldn�t identify with mere men. He was neither helpless, living in darkness, struggling with sin and neither was He selfish. He wasn�t like you and me.
He�d never known the pain of divorce until He�d felt the sting of betrayal. In heaven, He had a �home� but it wasn�t until He was among us that He knew the feelings that assaulted Him when He was homeless. He�d never felt the oozing flesh of a leper until He touched one. If He were here physically, He�d reach out and touch folks you and me wouldn�t dream of touching; the AIDS victims with their highly contagious affliction. (But, He is here physically, think about it.)
He�d never known the effects of having been tempted by Satan and He certainly had never suffered because of sin. He never suffered because of His own sin; He deliberately suffered because of ours. Still, His justice demanded that before He could judge, He had to have all the evidence necessary to render a verdict in fairness, in equity.
But, it wasn�t so that He could be sympathetic (that�s an emotion native to man, but it is not one that is native to God; He�s compassionate, but He doesn�t sympathize. Sympathy makes excuses for sin and that is something God will never do.) He had to �identify� with our humanity.
But, not only has He identified with us in every way, He went way beyond that. You see, we may understand why someone sins and we are sympathetic; we remember the days when we fell in the same way and we ache for them, but that�s as far as we can go. Not so with our God.
He not only identified with us, taking on flesh, but He did what we cannot do. He was compassionate, but it didn�t end there. He didn�t just take our sins upon Himself on the cross, He took our nature. Something He could never have done if He�d come as God.
Jesus could have said, and rightly so, �But�I�m only human.� And although that would have been true, what He did do was something we can do, and that is to allow ourselves to be emptied of ourselves and filled with the Spirit of God and only then are we following Jesus and only then will we see the �and greater works than these will you do.� He tells us about in John 14:12.
Jesus, God the Son, made Himself dependent on the Father and the Father sent God the Spirit to do in Him what He could not (and would not) do for Himself. In the Garden, Eve declared her independence from God. Jesus declared His dependence on God. If He�d come as God Almighty, why didn�t He just depend on Himself?
In the Garden, by eating the fruit, Eve, then Adam, signed their Declaration of Independence. At another tree, Jesus declared His dependence and signed it in His own blood. The tree of eternal life was transplanted to Calvary and the fruit of that tree is Jesus.
Sin isn�t just �wrong doing�, it�s �wrong being� and for justice to be served, and served on Him who knew no sin, He had to be able to be made guilty. But, He wasn�t guilty of His sin; He accepted that guilt for us. He didn�t just take our sins; He took upon Himself our nature. See 2 Corinthians 5:21.
So, when you are despairing because you can�t be like Jesus, remember, we can be like Him but for now we can only be like Him as He was when He was here physically. Completely helpless, useless to God and man, until the day He was baptized (immersed in) the Spirit and from that day on �led of the Spirit.�
The next time you say �Yes, but I�m only human�� Listen carefully and you�ll hear Him saying to you; �I can relate, because I�ve identified myself with you.�
Sit still and also hear Him reminding you of that day when He too had to be �filled with the Spirit� so He could �walk in the Spirit� and do all that He did �by the Spirit� and know that He knows what it�s like to be helpless and He knows what it�s like to need to be comforted. If he�d come as the all sufficient God, then why did the Father send His angels to minister to Him? Matthew 4:11
Being like Jesus is something we can all do, but being like Him as He is now is something that has been reserved for another day.
1 John 3:2-
�Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.�
Until the day He comes to take us to the Father�s house, we can be like He was, emptied of Himself and filled with the Spirit. Remember, the Holy Spirit is also called the Spirit of Christ. Romans 8:9 & 1 Peter 1:11
It�s not you living the Christian life; it�s Christ living His life in you.
Consider these things; pray about it and see for yourself. Watch and see if some, if not all, of those pesky �fowl of the air� don�t take flight. I�m persuaded that this is the one truth above them all that the god of this world doesn�t want any of us to know.
Jesus didn�t depend on Himself to be God. He depended on God to be God in Him. Neither should we depend ourselves to be like God the Son, but the one thing we can know for sure is that, because of God the Son who became the Son of Man (identifying with us and our frail humanity), we are the sons of God and the Spirit of God has come to do in us, through us and by us all that the Father wills and it is Him in us who will glorify the Father.
�I�m only human!� Yes! �He�s only God!� Indeed!
��and the Word became flesh� and it�s your flesh He�ll use to become flesh again.
After all, aren�t we His body?
If you died today, are you absolutely certain that you would go to heaven? You can be!

Wow, I really liked this article - many good points in it. Might have been easier to read if broken up visually a bit, or into two pieces, but overall had some compelling thoughts. Thanks.

Wlc 5508
The gear for our pilot wireless project was delivered in August, but due to other projects, I finally got it all unpacked this week.
A 5508 and a dozen AP's... all 1142 N's.
I snagged Todd's Study Guide last weekend, and just got to Chapter 7, where the available WLC's are commented on. No mention of the 5508.
I'm kinda surprised by that. The copyright in the book says 2010. Are the 5508's that new that they weren't around during authoring?
Not a dig at all Todd... just curious.
yes, they did not have the 5508's at the time of publishing.

I installed two today for a customer in Madrid. The only problem was that I had to ask someone onsite to switch them on again after I changed the software image and did a "reset system". I hope that isn't the normal behavior.
Usually the equipment is shipped to the customer or my local co-workers bring it with them to the customer site. So I don't have a chance to touch it.
Bye, Tore

I have done a few 4400 and had to do a 5508, there was not much difference for what we were going to use it for.
I used the guide.

We survived the Mayan apocalypse. (Whew!) But this most recent prediction of the end of days draws a big circle around the other recent doomsday predictions, as well as the near obsession many have with Armageddon-like prophecies. In this show, we look at some of the most memorable End-Of-The-World warnings and the people behind them, and we discuss the obsession so many have about their rendezvous with total destruction.

The Top 16 Anti-Gay Activists Caught Being Gay
UPDATE: In light of it recently being revealed that Republican North Carolina Senate candidate Steve Wiles once performed as a drag queen, and proving once again that conservative, anti-gay activists aren't always what they seem, this list is now 16 conservative anti-gay activists who turned out to be gay, or certainly not anti-gay themselves.
NOTE: This list will continue to grow as new anti-gay activists come out of the closet, albeit against their will (most of the time.) Keep your eyes peeled for more!

Steve Wiles
North Carolina Republican Senate candidate Steve Wiles campaigned heavily on his anti-gay beliefs and his support of the state's same sex marriage ban. However, in May 2014, news broke that just over a decade ago, he worked as an openly gay drag queen and drag-show emcee at Club Odyssey, a gay-friendly Winston-Salem lounge. In addition to emcee, Wiles also directed the show, and in prior years was a frequent attendee and performed under the stage name "Miss Mona Sinclair." Wiles also worked as a promoter for the 2011 Miss Gay America pageant.
Speak of the devil, here is the lovely lady now:
You won't believe who got caught being gay now. Check out the hypocrite here. - 2
Caleb Douglas Hesse
First grade teacher and volunteer youth leader Caleb Douglas Hesse has been a longtime anti-gay activist and even donated to Prop 8 in California to ban gay marriage. In August 2012, he confessed to sexually abusing "numerous underage boys," usually during overnight trips with the Evangelical Free Church youth group in Yucca Valley, CA. Investigators believe Hesse's inappropriate contact with young boys may have spanned up to three decades, occurring in "the early 1980s and as recently as a week ago."

George Rekers
George Rekers belongs at the top of this list. He's not the most recent, but dear Lord did he get caught the most red-handed. Not only this, but he had the absolute worst excuse.
Here's the story:
George Rekers, a man who helped start one of the most powerful anti-gay lobbying groups in the U.S. during the 80s and has written published papers such as "Growing Up Straight: What Families Should Know About Homosexuality," had a recent surgery, so during a lecture tour when he was unable to lift his own luggage, he hired some help – which is perfectly reasonable.
Where did he go to get this help? Rentboy.com, baby.
He there found a young, ripped, hairless, vampire-from-a-young-adult-book-looking boy named Lucien (pictured to the left) who he brought on his trip to "lift his luggage"(which is now an awesome euphemism for hiring a male prostitute and/or having sex with a male).
Rekers denies having a sexual relationship with the boy or even knowing that he was a gay male or prostitute. There is no way to stumble upon a profile on rentboy.com, as they are all private. So obviously, Rekers had an account there. He found Lucien, whose profile bragged about his "smooth, sweet, tight ass" and "perfectly built 8 inch cock (uncut.)" His profile also said that he'd be "up for anything" as long as the person paid... which Rekers was MORE than happy to do.
UPDATE: a few months later, Lucien admitted to having sex with George Rekers, understandably, as it would take anyone quite a while to admit that; even to themselves. - 4
Pastor Eddie Long
Georgia Pastor Eddie Long is a Baptist and famed televangelist in his area. In 2004, he led a march to Dr. Martin Luther King's grave in the name of defining marriage as between a man and a woman. He has also been quoted as saying that his church can "deliver" people from homosexuality.
He is currently being sued by four young men (ages 21, 20, 23, and 22) for using his fame and influence to coerce them into sexual relationships. The relationships lasted months and occurred during the boys' late teens. The age of consent in Georgia is 16, so it was legal, but it was still wrong of him to use his power to get the boys to do sexual favors for him. Here are some examples of what he did...
The pastor of New Birth Missionary (*snicker*) Baptist Church, Eddie Long used his influence to take the boys places such as Kenya, paid for their hotel rooms, and gave them gifts such as cars, cash, and jewelry in exchange for mutual masturbation, oral sex, and sensual massaging.
Click on the image to the left to see a gallery of the kind of text messages the (admittedly in-shape) Pastor sent his accusers. - 5This amazing entry, starring Alabama Attorney General Troy King, plays itself out in beautiful symmetry.
Known for his vocal opposition to gay rights and for his attempt to outlaw sex toys, King was caught by his wife while having sex with a local homecoming King (see what we did there?) from – wait for it –Troy University.

The reputed male prostitute, Cody Castagna, with whom he was cavorting, told police that Curtis offered him $1,000 to have sex with him and that Curtis purchased two gay pornographic films from the hotel for them to watch in his room.
Even more, this all went down with Curtis wearing a red negligee and Castagna has pictures to prove it. Pictures he only took as revenge when it was discovered that Curtis only had $200 in his wallet.

"Fixing a hole..." - Beatles
Painting of Jesus Crucified, Alphonsus Liguori.
Over night I read a few reports on Mel Gibson and his struggles with alchoholism. A person close to him said he was suicidal over the inability to stop drinking and take control of his life.
His mug shot looks so pathetic, you can see the shame he felt. Alcholics say crazy things. Lashing out as he did may have emanated from that place of pain in his heart - hurt trying to hurt. Drunks say and do crazy things that they regret.
He's "fixin' a hole" through drink. When someone is drunk they can easily believe the good feelings they have about themselves and believe they see how others are out to get them. Drunks who stop drinking without healing the inner depression and lack of self-worth can find similar consolation in their conspiracy theories and criticism of others - blaming others for their misery. The need for ritual and rules and regulations becomes for some a source of stability and assures them that they are doing the "right thing" - they are good. External "observance of the law", if you will, does little; what matters is the conversion of heart in humility, obtaining healing of the wounds of the soul by the wounds of Christ. It seems to me that only the holes in the body of Jesus are able to heal the hole in our hearts. Sometimes it's a lifelong struggle with many, many defeats.
My parents were alcoholics; my older brother died of alcoholism - at various times my little brother tried to kill himself, I know how alcoholics act and think. They were all depressed people as well. Sometimes pretty paranoid about other people. They knew they weren't as bad as other people may have thought they were, yet, strangely enough they felt they were even worse. They believed they had to relieve and medicate the pain with alcohol, and then they did the things they were later ashamed of...deeply angry with themselves and others. Themselves because of their weakness, their sickness; with others because they couldn't possibly understand that and they knew they couldn't be like them. It's such a terrible struggle. My mother tried to kill herself as well. So I just bet I know something about Mel Gibson that his peers who want him blacklisted do not. I'm praying for Mel.
In today's meditation frrom Magnificat, there is a gentle, loving passage frrom St. Alphonsus Liguori, whose feast we celebrate today:
"The more we distrust our own strength, the more we should confide in the divine mercy. This is a balance in which the more the scale of confidence in God is raised, the more the scale of diffidence in ourselves descends.
"Listen to me, O sinners: if the devil tells you that but little hope remains of your eternal salvation, answer him in the words of Scripture, 'No one has hoped in the Lord, and has been confounded.' [Eccl 2; 11] No sinner has ever trusted in God, and has been lost." - St. Alphonsus
Incidently, my mother and dad and brother all died reconciled to the Church with the Sacraments. They finally found healing and peace.

Langreo, (Asturian Llangréu), officially Llangréu / Langreo,[1] is a municipality and town of northern Spain, province of The Principality of Asturias. It is the 4th largest town of Asturias with 43.000 inhabitants. Langreo is located in the centre of Asturias, approximately 20 km of Oviedo. It was an important mining and metallurgical center.
In the neighbourhood fruit and cider are produced, and there are still important coal mines, foundries, and factories for the manufacture of coarse cloth.
According to a legend Langreo was the place where the Moorish governor Munuza was killed while trying to flee from Asturias at the beginning of the Reconquest. Langreo was settled by the Romans, who built a large Roman bridge that is not conserved today.
In the past, it was one of the most important mining and metallurgical points of Spain since the 18th century, and it was also well known because of workers struggles and its cultural life. The 3rd railway to be built in the Iberian Peninsula was the FC of Langreo. The Factory of La Felguera was one of the most important siderurgy centers in Spain, and the Langreo mines was well known in whole Spain.
Because of the Spanish "Industrial Restructuring", Langreo lost its industrial importance, but today it conserves important factories like Bayer, where 100% of the acetylsalicylic acid of the German enterprise is produced. Langreo also holds the technologies centre Valnalón.
Langreo has important medieval monuments like the church of San Esteban, the Quintana Tower or the Sanctuary of Carbayu. Today Langreo preserves good examples of its industrial heritage and it hosts the Siderurgy Museum Of Asturias within the old Felguera Factory, the Samuño Valley and Railway Mining Museum, and the art gallery Pinacoteca Eduardo Úrculo.
Langreo celebrates fiestas of San Pedro and Santiago, and special gastronomic days: Carnival (February) Cider (April) and Fabada (December)
The largest town is Langreo (43,000 inhabitants), formed by the most important districts: La Felguera (20.000), Sama (10.000), and Riaño, Ciaño, Lada and Barros.
There are eight parishes (administrative divisions) by population:
- David Villa, footballer
- Manuel Mejuto González, football referee
- Pedro Duro, businessman
- Aurelius of Asturias, King of Asturias
- Gaspar García Laviana, soldier
- Mario Cotelo, footballer
- Alberto Coto García, mental calculator
- Dámaso Alonso, poet
- Narciso Ibáñez Menta, actor
- Jesús Fernández Duro, sportman
- María Neira, WHO doctor

If you predicted lopsided wins on Thursday for the Rockets and Blazers, congratulations. Hope you cashed in big time. I tried to take advantage of lineup changes, inserting the four Spurs who inherited extra minutes, and — thanks to Dwight Howard — still managed to turn a small profit.
Five Things To Watch: Memphis Grizzlies
The Memphis Grizzlies begin the 2014-15 season with high hopes. With the core in place and an exceptionally deep bench, making a return to the Western Conference finals – or further – is the goal. Last season, the injury bug bit the Grizzlies. Multiple key players missed extended time, and the Grizzlies couldn't separate themselves in the West as a result. Ending the season contemplating what could have been is unpleasant, and it's a situation the Grizzlies don't care to find themselves
SH Blog: Durant defiant about Tony Allen's defense, Parsons says he's better than Batum
Kevin Durant has had one of the most prolific seasons we have ever seen, and he will run away with the MVP award for his efforts in 2014. Part of what has made him so great is the efficient way in which he has totally dominated the competition. He averaged a whopping 32 points on 50.3 percent shooting from the field. His true shooting percentage (including field goal, 3-pointers and free throws) came out to 63.5 percent, which is truly ridiculous. When
Bernucca: Clippers Captain is Back, But the Ship Ran Just Fine Without CP3
Chris Paul returned to the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. We don't want to be party-poopers, but it probably should be pointed out that the Clippers were better without him. This does not mean that GM Gary Sacks should start exploring trade possibilities for a top-five player. And it doesn't mean that coach Doc Rivers should go with the hot hand at point guard at the end of games. But it does mean that if the Clippers want to win a championship this
Bernucca: Grading the Trades That Have Already Been Made
Since training camp opened, there have been five significant trades involving 10 teams, 19 players and seven draft picks. The big winners have been a team that got rid of the highest scorer among the traded players and a team that acquired a player who has yet to play. The big loser has been a team that swears by analytics. Another way to look at it is like this: The biggest trades thus far have been the ones that haven't been made

Sprung: What does Brad Stevens bring to rebuilding Celtics?
BROOKLYN– Brad Stevens is new to the NBA, and the Boston Celtics have had to grow familiar with his brand of coaching over the course of training camp and the preseason. With just about two weeks before the start of the season – and a new era for the franchise – the Celtics seem pleased with the progress the team is making under Stevens' early stewardship. If general manager Danny Ainge's plan for the franchise is for the rookie coach to grow
Bernucca: Future murky for Lakers, biggest underachievers in NBA history
Before Game 4 of their Western Conference first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs, the Los Angeles Lakers handed out white towels to fans at the Staples Center. Apparently, someone in the marketing department didn't understand symbolism. By halftime, those towels had become flags of surrender for the Lakers, the biggest underachieving team in the history of the NBA. Dwight Howard offered his own symbolism, figuratively throwing in the towel midway through the third quarter. Unwilling to grit his teeth and bang

Research led by the University of Warwick has uncovered exactly how the bacterium Streptococcus pneumoniae has become resistant to the antibiotic penicillin. The same research could also open up MRSA to attack by penicillin and help create a library of designer antibiotics to use against a range of other dangerous bacteria.
Worldwide Streptococcus pneumoniae causes 5 million fatal pneumonia infections a year in children. In the US it causes 1 million cases a year of pneumococcal pneumonia in the elderly of which up to 7% are fatal. This new research has completely exposed how Streptococcus pneumoniae builds its penicillin immunity and opens up many ways to disrupt that mechanism and restore penicillin as a weapon against these bacteria.
The research was led by Dr Adrian Lloyd of the University of Warwicks Department of Biological Sciences along with other colleagues from the University of Warwick, the Universit Laval, Ste-Foy in Quebec, and The Rockefeller University in New York. The research was funded by Welcome Trust and the MRC.
Penicillin normally acts by preventing the construction of an essential component of the bacterial cell wall: the Peptidoglycan. This component provides a protective mesh around the otherwise fragile bacterial cell, providing the mechanical support and stability required for the integrity and viability of cells of Streptococcus pneumoniae and other bacteria including MRSA.
The researchers targeted a protein called MurM that is essential for clinically observed penicillin resistance and has also been linked to changes in the chemical make up of the peptidoglycan that appear in penicillin resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae isolated from patients with pneumococcal infections.
The researchers found that MurM acted as an enzyme that was key to the formation of particular structures within the S. pneumoniae peptidoglycan called dipeptide bridges that link together strands of the peptidoglycan

23.12.05 - By Kevin Dinkins: Well, I never thought I would see it again, but Roy Jones Jr. and Bernard Hopkins have agreed to fight on March 11th, according to ESPN. This is a long in coming rematch of their 1993 bout, that saw Roy Jones Jr. winning the fight by 116-112, 116-112 and 116-112 on the judges cards. Although, I personally, had Hopkins (46-4-1, 32 KOs) winning this fight, and I never really did understand how Jones (49-4, 38 KOs) could have been awarded the decision, based on his inaction during the 2nd half of the fight. I personally count that fight as a loss for Jones, who was for the most part, running from Hopkins continously and avoiding any real exchanges from rounds 6-12. At this point in their careers, this fight seems pointless, as it should have occurred back in 1994, not in 2006, with both of them slowed with age and no longer at the very top of the sport. Although, to be fair, Hopkins, 40, still remains competitive as a middleweight, but as his last two fights show, both losses, by the way, hes turned into cautious, seldom initiating counter puncher. Not only that, he is beginning to drastically slide down hill, in my opinion, and from what I see of him, I dont think he could beat the other top middleweights, such as Winky Wright, Felix Sturm, Arthur Abrham, or even Sam Soliman, all of which are much busier fighters with their hands, and would likely beat him by decision if they were ever to fight. Its too bad that hes electing not to go after one of them, as this fight seems pointless to me and only seems as if it were being done for money purposes rather than a fight to prove something. As for Jones, he's lost his last thress fights, and for many, they consider him losing the fight before that, as well, when he squeaked by Antonio Tarver on November 8, 2003, winning by majority decision 114-114, 117-111, and 116-112, in a fight that appeared to me to be the opposite of the scores. Since then, Jones has been viciously knocked out badly by Tarver in their rematch and Glen Johnson, before losing another decision to Tarver in Jones' last bout on October 2005. In that bout, Jones appeared reluctant to mix it up with Tarver, perhaps trying to keep from being knocked out, yet again. Still, even with his cautious approach, Jones came close to being stopped in the 11th round when Tarver finally caught up to him, despite all the running he had been doing up to that point. If it hadnt been for Tarvers poor stamina, he would have likely have stopped Jones, once again, from my perspective. Now, sadly, gone is Jones once great hand speed, including his ring movement, which enabled him to succeed with his unorthodox style, that always seemed to be lacking in the ring fundamentals. Back then, when he was young and fast, it didn't matter, because he had so much blinding speed. However, what remains now is a shell of a fighter, one who rarely mixes it up, and who appears to have a serious problem taking hard punches to the head, perhaps due to his previous terrifying knockout losses that he recently experienced in the past two years. Im dont think Jones' is officially shot as a fighter, but considering how gun shy he is towards mixing it up, combined with his tender chin, puts him on the brink of being finished, as far as Im concerned. Hopefully, nothing serious happens to him in this bout, as it would be sad for me to see him suffer any kind of permanent damage to his brain. I dont know but it seems kind of wretched to see both of these guys, who were at the top of the game for a decade, yet who are no longer there, deciding to fight at this late date. I mean, it is an interesting fight, in the kind of a sick way that someone may enjoy staring at the aftermath of a car wreck, but as far as seeing something that is worth paying your hard earned money for, I wouldnt want to waste my money on it, not now. Obviously, this fight will be on PPV, so its going to be up to the fans whether or not this idea succeeds.

Anti-Government Tsunami Heading For Big-Government Party
This is not the year to be pro government. That is the same as being pro screw-up or pro incompetence. Who cheers for the losers who rant about how great they are and then produce disaster after disaster? And as the economic suffering continues to expand (it is now lapping at our door step too) America is justly asking why aren't we taking back our hard earned money from those idiots in DC?
A sampling of the attitudes out there as we come out of a dour 4th of July.
One American Thinker article produced this cogent and accurate summary of the first term of our current  liberal Congress and liberal President:
The general public has now been exposed to the following:
1) The current regime's uncontrolled spending policies and willingness to triple the national debt within nine years have laid bare the actual and unvarnished state of the country's debt and its potential financial future (further revealed by the pending bankruptcy of nations such as Greece).
2) The once-mainstream media's willingness to lose all credibility with the vast majority of the public with its not-so-subtle cheerleading for their preferred politicians.
3) The Democratic Party, at one time the self-declared defender of the little guy and now captive to Progressive ideology, has openly declared war on small business and capitalism.
4) The current majority of the members of Congress has been unmasked as politicians incapable of reading bills, indifferent to voters, and fully in the pockets of liberal special interest groups.
5) President Obama and Congress intentionally used lies and deception to pass an unwanted health care reform bill in a not-so-subtle attempt to control the day-to-day lives of the American people. The use of bribery and intimidation to pass legislation or regulations was on stage for all to see.
6) To the current ruling class, slavish adherence to ideology trumps the needs and best interest of the people of the United States.
Emphasis mine, because I especially feel the thrust of number three. In fact, that is a common theme spreading through out the country, and I would wager is the heart and soul of the Tea Party movement. Here is another similar view from Wayne Allen-Root at the Las Vegas Review:
You won't find proof of the damage Obama is doing on Wall Street, but rather on Main Street. My friends are all part of the economic engine of America: Small business. Small business creates 75 percent of new jobs (and a majority of all jobs). I called one friend who was a wealthy restaurant owner. He says business is off by 60 percent. He's drowning in debt. He won't last much longer. His wealth is gone.
I called another friend in the business of home improvement. He says business is off 90 percent from two years ago. My contractor just filed personal bankruptcy. She won't be building any more homes. The hair salon where I've had my hair cut for years closed earlier this year. Bankrupt. But here's the clincher — ESPN Zone just closed all their restaurants across the country. If they can't make it selling cheap food and overpriced beer with 100 big screens blaring every sporting event on the planet to a sports-crazed society, we are all in deep, deep trouble.
I've polled all my friends who own small businesses — many of them in the Internet and high-tech fields. They all agree that in this new Obama world of high business taxes, income taxes, payroll taxes, capital gains taxes, and workers compensation taxes, the key to success is to avoid employees. The only way to survive as a business owner today is by keeping the payroll very low and by hiring only independent contractors or part-time employees provided by temp agencies.
The days of jobs in the private sector with big salaries, full benefits, and pensions are over.
Yes they are. The engine of our economy has been choked off. And as small businesses succumb to giant corporations tied to DC politicians (BP was the largest donor to President Obama, and therefore is running the oil spill recovery efforts – fox, henhouse?) the people who drive this engine are creating a political tsunami. The vast majority of us who come from all walks of life, from all corners of this nation, are rising up in angry protest.
We want heads and answers, preferably in that order. Who are these charlatans who dare to steal our dreams and life's work? Who are these greedy, insatiable power trippers who mow down the individual and small business and suck up all their hard earned rewards? When did we decide it would be better to be given a hand out from the government than a career and a lifetime of achievement?
Mort Zuckerman also summarized the mood of the country very well today:
The hope that fired up the election of Barack Obama has flickered out, leaving a national mood of despair and disappointment. Americans are dispirited over how wrong things are and uncertain they can be made right again. Hope may have been a quick breakfast, but it has proved a poor supper. A year and a half ago Obama was walking on water. Today he is barely treading water. Then, his soaring rhetoric enraptured the nation. Today, his speeches cannot lift him past a 45 percent approval rating.
There is a widespread feeling that the government doesn't work, that it is incapable of solving America's problems. Americans are fed up with Washington, fed up with Wall Street, fed up with the necessary but ill-conceived stimulus program, fed up with the misdirected healthcare program, and with pretty much everything else. They are outraged and feel that the system is not a level playing field, but is tilted against them. The millions of unemployed feel abandoned by the president, by the Democratic Congress, and by the Republicans.
The American people wanted change, and who could blame them? But now there is no change they can believe in. Sixty-two percent believe we are headed in the wrong direction —a record during this administration. All the polls indicate that anti-Washington, anti-incumbent sentiment is greater than it has been in many years. For the first time, Obama's disapproval rating has topped his approval rating. In a recent CBS News poll, there is a meager 15 percent approval rating for Congress. In all polls, voters who call themselves independents have swung against the administration and against incumbents.
The fundamental problem is starkly simple: jobs and the deepening fear among the public that the American dream is vanishing before their eyes.
The hope is completely gone, now replaced with dread and fear. How could all these fat cats screw up so much so badly? All I know is I would have a better chance of surviving this if I could keep my hard earned money and have more of a cushion and more control over digging out of this myself. The idea of waiting on the DC clowns to figure it out is just frightening.
And then I look at my children, and realize what we have done to their futures. All in the name of liberal fantasies which were never more than made-for-TV mind candy. Nothing but myth's spun to separate us from our hard won rewards, so some idiot could pretend to play Santa Claus to the world.
Enough. It is time to take back our country from our bloated and incompetent government bureaucracy. Time to trim the waste and fraud and abuse.
