Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Sparrow,Something about your post #220..."Elect" is an English transliteration for the Greek eklekton meaning "chosen." Sometimes God gives a reason for it as in the case of Abraham. He said He chose Abraham because He knew Abraham would teach so as to obey whatever God said to him to his children and grandchildren and so on, unto many generations. For Jacob and Esau God says He chose Jacob and hated Esau before they had done anything good or bad in order to make His "Choosing" known.You were concerned about a sense of fairness being violated if it meant some were "saved" by God choosing them and others lost because He didn't and that knowing it in the context of universal salvation resolved the problem. It does mostly seem that it is not so much ultimate salvation that is in view when we consider God's choosing some and rejecting others. Rather, it involves His role as the potter to create special vessels to be of service to affect humanity in His overall plan, some even chosen to be leaders in evil.The point I wanted to make is that if anybody gets "there" ahead of anybody else, it is only to bring the rest in.
I think that there will be those who are decieved and those who are not. But I think it's all in God's plan. I see the elect as NOT being decieved. Who are the elect? The people who ended up not being decieved for whatever reason.
Whoever this "elect" are, God has made them the elect for a reason. Some claim to be the "elect". But how can they know for sure? I believe only God knows the answer.
Perhaps someone can give proof that folks can know. I haven't researched it all the way. I just see this verse of the elect being decieved "IF it were possible" and think that the elect don't know who they are. Because if they knew who they were, then that verse wouldn't have the same effect. Push on and run this race.... but I tend to believe only God knows who His various groups of people are. God has his reasons for selecting certain people. Afterall, look at his disciples. It's all happening to teach us ALL. All will benefit from God's master plan.
I believe that God is love. He tells us that He is love. The fruits of the spirit:Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.I think taking things and measuring them against the yardstick of love is key.
Going to God and praying for guidance. Listening for His voice, and pushing away your own voice. Listening to your gut. There are things that tickle the ears of your carnal man, and there are things that align with your spirit. Learning to discern is a process. Perhaps it's not the same for everyone. The more you lean into love and lean away from non-love, the more you develop discernment, in my opinion.
You are not gonna like this Sparrow.... how do you know you received your training from the Spirit of Light and not from the dark one?"....but Lord we prophesised in Your Name..."
"Lord we prophesised in Your name..."Yes... what name again?
Gab... I think we see it pretty much the same way.Especially your last sentence.
WW, on one had I agree with you that we can basically never know with absolute certainty that what we are doing is the will of God and that we have not been deceived (we can fool ourselves into a sense of certainty, but that's rather different). But, on the other hand, it is obviously impossible for us to do the will of God if we do nothing out of perpetual paralyzing fear that we might be in error.
True absolute certainty is basically unobtainable in practice - I don't even know that the sun will come up in the morning, but I nonetheless manage to function in life, because I accept that I might later learn that I have been wrong about something, and I will cross that bridge when I come to it.
At a certain point, I think that we just have to accept that we can only do what we can do, and that we can do nothing more - and that if we find we were in error, then God will correct us in the end. If I have been deceived, then so be it - that possibility ought not stop me from earnestly trying to interact with sincere love with everyone I meet.
The sons get caught up to the Father's house (us IN Christ) so at the appointed time they can be released to go get their "bride", ie. the rest of creation.
Quote from: Cardinal on November 10, 2009, 06:40:07 PMThe sons get caught up to the Father's house (us IN Christ) so at the appointed time they can be released to go get their "bride", ie. the rest of creation.Aren't the believers the bride of Chist and the rest the guests at the wedding?
The word die in the NT usually does not refer to physical death.
Sonship principles brought to FULL HARVEST/ FULL INHERITANCE, is the "works". For the heir/son as long as he is a child (not mature; not fully formed in His image yet), differeth nothing from a servant.......
Quote from: Beloved Servant on November 10, 2009, 11:14:14 PMThe word die in the NT usually does not refer to physical death.Huh? The Greek word thnesko (to die) is used nine times in the New Testament. Eight times it is used to refer to physical death (Matthew 2:20, Mark 15:44, Luke 7:12, Luke 8:49, John 11:44, John 19:33, Acts 14:19, and Acts 25:19). Only once is it used to refer to figurative death (1 Timothy 5:6). One out of nine is not what I would call "usually"...If you're instead referring to the Greek word thanatos (death, i.e., the noun), that's used more often (105 times in the New Testament), and unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment to sift through all 105 of them, but I do see a number of references to figurative death there, although I also see a number of references to physical death, too.
I thought this comment from a FB friend of mine was especially interesting, and as it goes with this discussion........Blessings...."In the New Testament, the Greek word used for DEATH is THANATOS, and for DEAD, NEKRON, meaning without life, or lifeless. People describe death in various ways. Some call it a separation from life or from consciousness; others call it a sleep with a suspended consciousness. These descriptions sound very suitable, but they do not get to its root ... Basically death is a conscious separation from God. We are in death even while we live in the flesh, if we are unconscious of spiritual realities. As long as we are only conscious of natural things, we are in death."

- Open-source from Mozilla.
Firefox Web Developer Extension
Web Developer is an invaluable Firefox toolbar for web development. Among its vast feature set are several commands especially relevant to DOM Inspection:
- Display commands augment the page with DOM information, which makes a great alternative to exploring the DOM in a completely separate view. For example, Display Topographic Information alters the page to reveal the layout of DOM elements and Display ID and Class Details augments each element with its id and class attributes.
- Outline commands draw outlines around elements of a particular type. For example, Outline Block Level Elements or Outline Table Cells. In fact, you can define custom outlines to outline any element you want.
- Form commands help expose form structure. Display Form Details augments the form with information about each control, while View Form Information opens up a summary page.

- XMLHttpRequest Debugging is a much more powerful, interactive, Popup tool that not only shows the messages, but lets you set filters and configure the display.
- Both are Greasemonkey scripts, so you'll need to install the Greasemonkey extension first.
- Open-source from Julien Couvrer.
Live HTTP Headers
Live HTTP Headers is a Mozilla Firefox extension which has the goal of revealing information about the HTTP headers in three ways:
- First by adding a 'Headers' tab in 'View Page Info' of a web page.
- Second by adding a tool in the 'Tools->Web Development' menu to be able to display http headers in real time (while pages are being downloaded from the Internet.
- Third by letting you edit request headers and replay an URL (beta). Look for the Replay button in the live window!
HttpFox is an HTTP analyzer addon for Firefox. It monitors and analyzes all incoming and outgoing HTTP traffic between the browser and the web servers. It aims to bring the functionality known from tools like HttpWatch or IEInspector to the Firefox browser.

I love Cherry Tart. It is such a pretty, bright red that is still very wearable because the sheerness keeps it from being too overpowering. However, for a sheer, gloss type product, it has wonderful pigmentation and colour saturation. I think this would be flattering on just about everyone.
I have several shades of Lip Butters and really like them, Wild Watermelon (my latest addition – it was on sale so I bought several) is a pinky coral shade that I find very pretty for spring and summer. I can't generally wear coral shades but this one is pink/red enough (rather than orange-y) so it's very wearable for me. I love the texture of Revlon's Lip Butters and I really like the fact that I can swipe one on without having to have a mirror. I carry one of these in my school bag so I can smooth some on quickly and easily whenever I feel my lips are dry or that my lipstick has worn off.
I love this product…. It's my intro to red lipstick without being too overpowering… I was just surprised it had a pink undertone … I really wanted initially to get a true red. But when I tried it at the mall, with semi yellow to dim lights it looked good on my skin, better than candy apple. I was surprised because candy apple should've looked better on me, with my yellowish warm skin tone….
I like this pale pink on my skin tone. It's buildable color and my lip color shows through a very tiny amount. Pale pink can really really wash out my skin tone. I think this an easier to wear then the creamsicle and cream brulee shade of lip butter because it does have that hint of pink. I find that it can cling to any dry spots on the lips and can build up a bit on the inner part of the lip and a touch on the corners. I think because this shade is easier to wear it can go with any eye look..It does a sheen to it so a gloss isn't always necessary.
This shade was just too glittery. This is the shade that was worn by Emma Stone in the display ads and it looked great on her. Because there is glitter in it, it has a very gritty texture and ends up being more drying than the other Lip Butters. Not my favorite but I'll wear it on occasion, it's a good casual color or one for a girls night out but not for kissing boyfriends 😉
This isn't incredibly moisturizing, after a few hours of wear my lips get a little bit flaky and chapped but it's not as horrible as some higher end lipsticks (cough cough Bobbi Brown Party Alice). This is my favorite my lips but better shade, its not out there but its not just boring, plain, in the background.

Love this! All the lip butters I have are very soft. The pigmentation is medium in my opinion but I prefer it that way since i like a more subtle lip color.
The only bad thing about these is they don't last very long on my lips like 2 hours but if I put a heavy lip gloss on top then i can get about 4 hrs if I don't east.

[This is one of my favorite of my own papers, and perhaps exhibits some satirical influence of Malcolm Muggeridge. It was originally uploaded on 14 January 2002]
Atheists constantly tell us that "the knockout [scientific] proof of atheism just around the corner." We've heard this grandiose claim for almost 150 years, about, e.g., (1) the origin of life, (2) the origin of DNA, (3) all the missing links, and (4) extraterrestrial life. Now it is asserted that cosmology and the beginning of the universe will be soon explained comfortably under atheist assumptions, just like all the other things above have been (???).
Many counter-replies could be given, of course, such as: How did gravity and quantum mechanics and natural selection come to be in the first place? They still derive from the Big Bang. How did they evolve? And what remarkable potentialities were present in the Big Bang itself to make such a thing occur? What do "most nontheists" believe about how the universe came to be, and about its seeming "design"?
Well-known cosmologist Stephen Hawking feels "that the beginning of the universe should be governed by the same laws that held at other times." Well, he can have this predisposition all he wants, but that is not science; rather, it is the bias he brings to his science, and a mental process which has been much written-about by scientific observers / philosophers of science such as Steven Jay Gould and Thomas Kuhn.
When someone (even a scientist) says that "God caused the Big Bang," I agree that that is not a scientific statement, but by the same token, when Hawking and others want to apply uniformitarianism to the Big Bang, and even "before" it, with no empirical evidence whatever for such a claim, then they are not doing science either, but rather, expressing their arbitrary metaphysical preferences. Hawking's god, then, is uniformitarianism and the potentiality of matter to do anything and everything with no Ultimate Design superintending it. This is yet another axiom held in faith. It can't be proven to hold everywhere and at all times, before and after the Big Bang, etc.
Atheists are currently denying that what they believe about the actions of matter in a universe without God is "pure chance" or "randomly colliding atoms," as their earlier forebears might have boldly and proudly described it. Logical positivism is now decidedly out of fashion. But this is ultimately only semantics and avoidance of the relevant philosophical issues.
Natural "laws" (themselves metaphysical abstractions in a large sense, even though they have to do with matter) still have to attain their remarkable organizing abilities at some point. One either explains them by natural laws or by humbly bowing to divine teleology at some point as an explanation every bit as plausible as a scenario which boils down to materialism any way you cut the cake (everything is explained by material processes).
Matter becomes god in the atheist/materialist/naturalist view, as far as I am concerned, and this is patently obvious, because in the godless universe, matter has the inherent power to do everything by itself, which Christians believe God caused, by putting these potentialities and actual characteristics into matter and natural laws, being their ultimate Creator and even Ongoing Preserver and Sustainer.
Quite obviously, then, since all these marvels which we observe in the universe are attributed to matter, just as we attribute the same capacities and designs to God's creative power, from our perspective, matter is the atheist's god, in which he places extraordinary faith; more faith even than we place in God, because it is far more difficult to explain everything that god-matter does by science alone. Yet atheists manage to believe this anyway because they refuse to acknowledge a God behind all the Design. Indeed, this is faith of the most un-rational, childlike kind. It is quite humorous, then, to observe the constant charge that we Christians have the blind, childlike, gullible, fideistic faith, rather than "rational, intellectual, sophisticated" atheists who possess it in far greater measure.
Babylonian idols, c. 18th-16th century B.C.
trillions of gods of modern atheist idolatrous polytheism
Such belief is, in effect and in substance, closely-examined, a kind of poytheistic idolatry of the crudest, most primitive sort, which puts to shame the pagan worship and incredulities of the ancient Babylonians, Philistines, Aztecs, and other primitive groups. They believed that their silver amulets and wooden idols could make the sun shine or defeat an enemy or cause crops to flourish. The polytheistic materialist is far, far more religious than that: he thinks that trillions of his Atom-gods and their distant relatives, the Cell-gods, can make absolutely everything in the universe occur, of their own power, possessed eternally either in full or in inevitably-unfolding potentiality.
One might call this (to coin a phrase) Deo-Atomism ("belief that the Atom is God"). The omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, ubiquitous (if not omnipresent) Atom (especially trillions of them) can do absolutely everything that the Christian God can do, and for little or no reason which we can understand (i.e., why and how the Atom-God came to possess such powers in the first place). The Deo-Atomist worships his trillions of gods unreservedly, with the most perfect, trusting, non-rational faith imaginable. He is what sociologists call a "true believer."
Oh, and we mustn't forget the Time-goddess as well. She is often invoked in worshipful, reverential, awe-inspiring terms as the be-all, end-all explanation for things inexplicable, as if by magic her very incantation rises to an explanatory level sufficient to shut up any silly Christian, who is foolish enough to believe in one God rather than trillions. The Time-goddess might be said to be the highest in the ranks of the Deo-Atomist's wonderfully-varied hierarchy of gods, since she is one, rather than trillions (sort of the "Zeus" of Deo-Atomism). One might call this belief Deo-Temporalism.
Deo-Atomism is a strong, fortress-like faith. It is often said that it "must be" what it is. How is this at all different from monotheism, where certain things are taken for granted as basic beliefs? There is no epistemological difference. The atheist's and materialist's or positivist's or naturalist's religion is Deo-Atomism; mine is theistic Christianity. Matter is their god; a Creator Spirit God is mine. The Deo-Atomist simply reverses the error of the Gnostics. They thought spirit was great and that matter was evil. Deo-Atomists think matter is great (and god) and spirit is not only "evil" (metaphorically-speaking), but beyond that: non-existent.
In a certain remote sense, on one level, the Christian reacts to such profound religious belief with the thought, "Who am I to endanger by rational argument such a sublime fideism and Absolute Trust in a Teleological Argument vis-a-vis trillions of Atom-gods? I can only stand in awe of such Pure Faith."
Deo-Atomists may and do differ on secondary issues, just as the various ancient polytheistic cultures differed on quibbling details (which god could do what, which material made for a better idol, etc.), but despite all, they inevitably came out on the side of polytheistic idolatry, with crude material gods, and against spiritual monotheism.
Some Deo-Atomist utterances even have the "ring" of Scriptures, such as an appropriate humility urged in man's opinion of his own importance, because the universe is so large, and we are so small, as if material or spatial largeness itself is some sort of inherently God-like quality. One Deo-Atomist told me that "order is in the eye of the beholder." That reminded me of the biblical Proverbs (perhaps he was the Deo-Atomist equivalent of Solomon).
Of course, in Deo-Atomism, each person is gods too, because he is made up of trillions of Atom-gods and also lots of Cell-gods, so there are lots of gods there indeed! When you get trillions of gods all together in one place, it stands to reason that they can corporately perceive the order of which any one of them individually is capable of producing. So within the Deo-Atomist faith-paradigm, this make perfect sense. But for one outside their circle of religious faith, it may not (just to warn the devout, faithful Deo-Atomist that others of different faiths may not think such things as "obvious" as they do). The Deo-Atomist manages to believe any number of things, in faith, without mere explanation.
In other words, the "why" questions in the context of Deo-Atomism are in and of themselves "senseless." And the reason why that is (i.e., for the Deo-Atomist), is because the question impinges upon the Impenetrable Fortress of blind faith that the Deo-Atomist possesses. If the question of "Why does God exist?" is senseless, then it follows straightforwardly that likewise, the question, "Why do the Atom-gods and Cell-gods and the Time-goddess exist and eternally possess the extraordinary powers that they do?" is senseless, meaningless and oughtn't be put forth. One simply doesn't ask such questions. It is bad form, and impolite in mixed company. We know how sensitive overly-religious folk are.
Instead, we are asked to bow to the countless mysteries of Deo-Atomism in humble adoration and awed silence, dumbstruck, like the Magi at the baby Jesus' manger, offering our "scientific" and "philosophical" allegiance like they offered gold and frankincense and myrhh. The very inquiry is senseless and "intrusive." And so rational examination is precluded at and from the outset. It is, indeed, an ingenious, self-contained system: hopelessly irrational and self-defeating; ultimately incoherent, of course, but ingenious and admirable in its bold, brilliant intellectual audacity and innovation, if nothing else. In other words, it is an immensely enjoyable game to play, like much of modern philosophy-cum-religion.
Evolutionary mutations as Teleology offer a particular example of this particular religiosity; akin to the Christian Divine Providence. Occasionally, it is true, a mutation (99.999% of the time harmful) is beneficial to the organism. Thus, a mistake in a process that is almost always a mistake is the "stuff" and mechanism and cause of the "progress" of evolution. The entire spectrum of biological diversity and evolution begins in such a causal fashion. This is the Deo-Atomist teleology, and an amazing and faith-filled one it is, as always. Deo-Atomism might go by many names, but when the rubber meets the road, it is all pretty much the same: Boundless Faith in Matter-gods, Cell-gods, and the Time-Goddess.
As an example of a devout, pious Deo-Atomist believer, consider Stephen Hawking:
"It has been a glorious time to be alive and doing research in theoretical physics," he told an audience, which included Astronomer Royal Sir Martin Rees. "Our picture of the universe has changed a great deal in the last 40 years and I'm happy if I have made a small contribution. I want to share my excitement and enthusiasm."Hawking's words constitute a fine statement of the pure faith of what I have been calling Deo-Atomism. But what is the cosmic analogy to water in his boiling water scenario? And if universes come from nothing, how is that not absurd and not unthinkable? What is his empirical proof for such a scenario? By what observation did he arrive at this?
He added: "Based on the no boundary proposal, I picture the origin of the universe as like the formation of bubbles of steam in boiling water. "Quantum fluctuations lead to the spontaneous creation of tiny universes out of nothing. Most of the universes collapse to nothing, but a few that reach a critical size will expand in an inflationary manner and will form galaxies and stars and maybe beings like us."
Hawking believes his bubble universe scenario with, admittedly, no direct scientific evidence (it is merely coherent with other of his beliefs), and no way to explain it step-by-step in any compelling matter. It is entirely tentative. So he is exercising the blind faith of Deo-Atomism. Christians don't claim to have exhaustive explanations for every process we believe in. But it ain't required because religious faith is not science.
I find it exceedingly humorous that many scientists and atheists (many, Deo-Atomists) are so concerned about separating religion and science (to the extent that science would literally die if a miracle were acknowledged by a scientist AS a scientist), yet when it comes to something clearly within the religious, theological, supernatural realm (a purported miracle), they continue to demand scientific explanation as if they have forgotten all about their strenuous, Chicken Little attempts to separate science from God and theology altogether!
I won't bow to this double standard. It is simply one more strain of the religion of scientism, which is a crucial component and aspect of Deo-Atomism. I don't worship science or the atom or my own brain. I worship God. And if God didn't possess some attributes I didn't fully understand or comprehend, I submit that He wouldn't be God. That would simply be an idol that I created, that I completely understand, as it is no higher than what I can conceive it to be: a "God" made in man's image, rather than vice versa.
If materialist scientists would like to take back their position on science vs. miracles (an absolute dichotomy), then we can (at least attempt to) offer scientific explanations of every miraculous occurrence, as Christianity and science would then comprise one grand, unified theory of nature.
Until then, Deo-Atomists ought to stop asking for scientific explanations in the name of theology, when they can't even give scientific explanations (pertaining to origins and teleology) in the name of naturalistic science for many of their beliefs, yet simultaneously claim that this is not merely a matter of religious or metaphysical belief, and that any other alternative religious/metaphysical belief (namely, theism and creation) is impermissible as unscientific. Take the beam out of thine own eye. Metaphysician; heal thyself . . .

I can't wait!!!
iPad 2 jailbreak imminent?
iPad 2 jailbreak may be coming sooner than a lot of folks thought thanks to p0sixninja. In a recent tweet, he claims they are working on a jailbreak for the new iPad 2. As we all remember, with the release of the 4.3.1 jailbreak, the iPad 2 was left out of the fun, due to the difference in the bootrom.
p0sixninja appears to be confirming that the jailbreak does exist -
Since 4.3.1 is already exploited by the legendary @i0n1c, we're working on finishing iPad2 jailbreak now.
How many of you out there have been eagerly awaiting a jailbreak for your iPad 2?
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

iPad 2 jailbreak imminent?
Just upgraded my ipad and it really sucks without lockinfo, which requires jailbreak. I know now that I can't exist without jailbreak on iOS and will have to wait for iPhone 5 to be jail broken before I can upgrade.phones. Or significant improvement to the notification system in iOS has to happen. But even still, there are a dozen ultra useful jb apps out there. I have paid for nearly as many of them as I have app store apps.
Yes! I'm crossing my fingers that it's released within the next couple of weeks. My patience has been difficult thus far, but sweet will be the day when I can fully exploit my new toy :D
Twitter for Mac.
So been waiting since the launch. It's crying for freedom!
I'd put my money on comex releasing an iPad 2 jb before anyone else. Sadly, IMO its more likely to be months than days or weeks.
Question: What percentage of people jailbreak to steal apps? I can kind of see a reason to JB a phone but the only reason to JB an iPad is if you want free apps IMO.
The Federal Government has deemed "Jailbreaking" legal, and obviously they have thought of everything that stems off of that, otherwise they would not discriminate against people who use programs such as "Frostwire" or "Limewire". So go ahead. Jailbreak it. Steal apps. It's your iPad and you can do what you want to it. I know I will.
Jailbreaking is not about stealing apps. Yes there are some tar do that but there is a whole store of apps to be purchased that can only be gotten through jailbreak. Don't equate jailbreak with stealing. I'm currently not jailbroken but believe people should have the right to program their device the way they want and the statements about jailbreak being only for stealing apps is an unfair description of the jailbreak community.
I've had my iPad going on three weeks ago and I still find myself using my iPad 1 because of the jailbreak issue.
Apple's release of iOS 4.3.1 two days early was obviously designed to throw jailbreakers off, so with the imminent release of iOS 4.3.2, might Apple pull the same trick and beat p0sixninja to the punch?
I jailbreak for the better usability of the device. SBSettings, BiteSMS, Multiflow, Backgrounder, etc, etc. Put those apps on a native iPhone/iPad and jailbreaking will be unneeded. My iPad 2 would flow much nicer once it can be jailbroken to operate like my iPhone 4. As for stealing apps, please, why spend hundreds of dollars on these devices in order to steal a few dollars in apps! Developers who do good work deserve to be paid for a skill myself and others do not have.
if you guys want to jailbreake your ipad or iphone you can check this website. it's a amazing site just check it out guys and also Download iPhone cracked apps
Hey, this was new to me. Thanks for this great information!

Help protect small headwater streams
This commentary in the Santa Fe New Mexican sums up perfectly the kinds of issues and solutions that confront outdoorspeople in this age when so many folks are growing blind to the importance of public lands. We need multiple use, we need protection, and, most important, we need our public lands system to be honored for the unique benefits it provides us. The three public lands bills discussed in Ms. Denison's article, showcase why the American public lands model is worth fighting for.

As for Phrost's original query, I do have a book that explains it all. It even has references, for what it's worth:
The font drives me crazy and there is too much spacing between the lines...breath...but so far, the information seems well-researched...although I must confuse that it might seem more interesting to me than it really is because I am spending time reading it instead of prepping for my MCAT part deux

Okay, first off, a quick overview (read: gross oversimplification) of how muscles work.
Your central nervous system (read: brain) sends the signal to your muscle to contract by sending an action potential (read: electrical signal) down a nerve, which connects to the muscle fibers in question at the neuromuscular junction. When the action potential reaches this junction, a series of reactions take place.
Inside muscle fibers, there are myofibrils, which are the "motor" that actually pulls the tips of the fiber towards each other. Each myofibril is made up of a bunch of sarcomeres, which are in turn made up of overlapping strands of actin and myosin (chains of protein). When the above reaction takes place, calcium ions bind to the actin chains, and the myosin chains "twist" along the actin chains, pulling the ends of the sarcomere (and thus the myofibril, and thus the muscle fiber) closer together. This movement is tiny (read: just one link of a long chain), and to disconnect the myosin from the actin to move up to the next link requires energy. It gets the energy to do this from a molecule known as adenosine triphosphate, or ATP.
And now, a bit of physics:
power = work / time
work = force * distance
therefore, power = force * distance / time
This means:
-The more ATP that is available to a sarcomere, the more twists the actin and myosin can perform.
-The more calcium ions the sarcomere is exposed to, the faster the actin and myosin can twist.
-The more twists the actin and myosin can perform in a given time, the more power* the sarcomere can generate
-The more sarcomeres there are pulling in parallel, the more power** the muscle fiber can generate.
-The more muscle fibers there are pulling in parallel, the more power** the muscle can generate.
* increased distance per time
** increased force
So in an egghead sort of way, there are our goals.
More released calcium = muscle can contract faster.***
More available ATP = muscle can contract for longer.
More sarcomeres and muscle fibers in parallel = muscle can produce more force when contracting.
Insulin has important effects on the latter two.
*** I'm not totally sure on this one. A higher calcium concentration may be a necessary but not sufficient condition for faster sarcomere contraction.

All this Krebs-cycle stuff is giving me a headache, so I'm going to switch gears a bit and talk about simple/complex carbs, glycemic index, and insulin index (with some bonus whey talk for Emevas).
-Glucose is the body's ready-to-use carbohydrate. It gets shipped around in the bloodstream, and once in a cell, gets changed into pyruvate by glycolysis. Pyruvate is decarboxylated into acetyl-CoA, which is broken down further in the Krebs cycle. Each of these processes results in more available ATP.
-Dextrose and glucose are the same thing. Supplement companies have made a lot of money off of confusion over the different names.
-The "old-style" grouping of carbohydrates was into monosaccharides (glucose, fructose), disaccharides (sucrose, lactose), and polysaccharides (amylose, amylopectin, glycogen).
-The more modern categorization of carbohydrates is along the spectrum of how much and how quickly they raise blood sugar levels, commonly known as the glycemic index.
-There's a commonly-held belief in a correlation between old and new categorization - specifically, that monosaccharides and disaccharides ("simple carbohydrates") raise one's blood sugar level faster than polysaccharides ("complex carbohydrates"). This is inaccurate.
-For example, the best available data indicates that lactose (milk sugar), a simple carbohydrate, has a dramatically lower glycemic index than potato starch, a mix of complex carbohydrates (about 1:3 amylose:amylopectin ratio). My best guess as to why is that the amylase in saliva breaks the amylopectin down to glucose almost immediately, whereas lactose isn't split by lactase into glucose and galactose until the small intestine, and the galactose isn't metabolized into glucose until it reaches the liver.
-On the other hand, dietary fiber (polysaccharide cellulose, amongst others) has no glycemic impact, as the human digestive tract lacks the cellulase to break it down into constituent sugars. Some dietary fiber can be fermented, but the end product of this is fatty acids, not sugars.
-Currently-available values for glycemic indexes are maddeningly inconsistent to the point of contradiction (look at the two values for baked russet potatoes - nearly a 100% margin of error). This makes it very difficult to structure a diet around published GI values.
-Furthermore, it's not just sloppy experimental procedures. I would expect a fair bit of variation from person to person, depending on the proportions of their enzymes, their hormonal balances, and the structure of their digestive tract.
-Fortunately, if you can handle needles and have some time and money to spare, you can take your own measurements with a glucometer and a battery of test strips. It looks like you should be able to switch fingers between tests, so long as you don't switch meters.
-If anyone actually tries this, please let me know how it goes.
-It is also commonly assumed that since the pancreas' output of insulin is sensitive to blood glucose levels, the magnitude and duration of insulin response (insulin index) will correspond to the magnitude and duration of blood glucose change. This is imprecise. I know of at least two cases where insulin response differs significantly from glucose response:
-Several strains of rice have been shown to have a significantly smaller insulin response (off by a third) than glucose response.
-Milk has a significantly larger insulin response than its lactose component alone. The researchers found that whey protein, despite not being a carbohydrate and thus having no glycemic response, stimulated the release of insulin. This is another benefit to consuming whey (and products that contain whey, like milk) immediately after workouts, as the increased insulin levels should counteract the catabolic effects of cortisol (which I'll get to eventually if y'all are interested).
On a fast-vs-slow-protein aside: In either this study or one like it, they basically found that whey protein caused a large, short spike in blood amino acid levels and stimulated protein synthesis, whereas casein caused a lower, longer increase and inhibited protein breakdown. I'm of the opinion that this is mostly a product of casein gelling upon contact with stomach acid and thus digesting more slowly.
Edit: I found the study that talked about hormone response to different proteins - it's this one.

True photo pros know that MegaPixels are not what produces a great shot. MPs are used to as a marketing gimmick to make people feel they need them and then trade up. 5 to 6 MPs is more than enough for anyone to have high quality photos, plus I often wished I had the facility to take smaller MP shots on my iPhone when not needed and to save data space. Processor, light sensor and lens are almost more important.
Next iPhone in final testing for September release on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint or T-Mobile?
9to5Mac reports that the next iPhone -- rumored to be released in September -- has hit final testing stages, with variations of 'N93' and 'N94' models suggesting a possible release on Sprint or T-Mobile.
The next generation iPhone has reached the final testing stage (aka "AP" stage [Thanks, Chronic!]) and is now being carried around by high level Apple and carrier executives [...] While snooping around the iOS 5.0 SDK we located references to "N94″ and "N93."
Verizon previously let slip that the next iPhone will be a world phone, supporting GSM+CDMA on a single chip and thus cutting out the requirement of Apple producing separate devices for the two carriers. With N93 and N94 variations in play, this further indicates T-Mobile as a likely candidate for carrying the next iPhone which is rumored to be an iPhone 4 packed with the new A5 chip.
In addition, they were told Apple and Verizon are still in negotiations to bring FaceTime over 3G while the next iPhone will keep the same 5MP camera sensor, most-likely due to production delays with Sony.
If true, is that a deal breaker for anyone? And if Apple adds a US carrier, would you rather it be T-Mobile or Sprint?

Next iPhone in final testing for September release on AT&T, Verizon and Sprint or T-Mobile?
Yeah. Tons of megapixels are really only important if you're printing giant posters or something.
Even a 27 inch screen can't reproduce more than 6mp and you'd have to print at A3 size to then need any more. We all need to stop this obsession. Then getting onto HD video on phones, it's great, but terrible... crisp if on a tripod but a small camera in the hand makes a very shaky movie! Call me undemanding!, but I always thought that although far too low res, that the iP1 took decent pics!
Definitely agree that MP isn't the be all and end all. However, it is part of the equation along with better optics and image processing sw. The current 5MP isn't terrible but it's not great either! It's just decent and it would be disappointing to still have it on a new phone!
As a photographer, virtually all commercial work is shot on high MP medium format digital cameras -- 40 MP or more.
And contrary to popular belief, it's not just for large prints which ironically can get away with less MP because of the increased distance they are viewed from.
Oh well, here's to my hoping that Apple is able to get enough units out of Sony to put their 8MP into the iP5!
Is there a reason you all chose to use this photo rendering? Is there evidence that it will not be the same form factor as the iphone 4?
Sprint!!! Sprint!!! Sprint!!!
What's wrong with 5 megapixels? Are you planning on making large prints of pics you take with your phone? I'm no photo pro and even I know pictures aren't about megapixels. The iPhone 4 has an amazing sensor and lens...AND it was ranked among actual point & shoot cameras. So, yeah, as long as they keep or improve the sensor an lens, I'm fine with 5MP.
I would rather see sprint. You can always find a way to unlock a GSM iphone to use with T-mobile, but you CANNOT unlock a verizon device to use with sprint. Plus ATT will most likely own T-mobile in the next 12 months, so they will get the phone in due time. With Sprint, Apple can truly put a strangle hold on the market and have a presence on all major carriers.
I'm more concerned about storage capacity. The iPhone 4 didn't offer any more capacity than the 3GS, so I'm hoping for a bump up to 64GB, or more.
Because talk and surf at the same time using Wi-Fi and 4G is hard for you? People don't know that having your phone on WiFi is less battery consumed than leaving it on 3G. My phones are always over WiFi, and I've enjoyed talking and surfing with my Sprint devices. It's not going to matter since SVDO will be included in their devices going forward.
Having said that, I hope Sprint and T-Mobile carries the device soon. It would be a major move, business wise.
I'd love for it to be on Sprint.
However, it'd only make my decision harder when I go to buy a new phone later. Windows Phone 7 Mango hardware, a new webOS phone, or an iPhone?
Sprint PLEASE!!!!
If they increase the MP to 8 I hope they will offer the option to continue to shoot at 5 MP. I don't want to use all my storage space saving 3'x4' photos when I will never print that large a photo. HD video/photos is less than 5MP so for screen viewing 5 MP is overkill. I would rather see improvements to quality than to Photo size. MP is just a photo size rating, why do people think they need such large photos. All they do is reduce them down so they can see them anyway. Even to print a 8x10 you have to reduce the photo size down to about 3 MP. The only advantage of high MP photos is for cropping small portions and still having a good photo size.
Apple need to blow me out the water with the new iPhone. Although iOS 5 is a decent update it's in no way magical and does seem to borrow alot of functionality from other OS'. I have always had trouble staying content with my phones and although I have stayed with iPhone longer than I have with others I am really starting to feel the itch and fancy trying something new. I would like an increase in mp count as part of my new phone partly because I like to zoom in on pics and crop but mostly just for the gloating rights. Alot of people on here are attacking others for saying they want increased mp and stating that it is completely pointless and unnecessary. I dont see the issue I like to compare my devices to those of my friends and prefer not to have to explain to my less "techie" how sensor and lens etc are more important. And besides I think a large part of the iPhones initial success was probably down to people buying the device simply to show off.
Anyway I just meant to say that apple I will be a sad person if u launch a mediocre new handset with average(in terms of new features) new OS.
kinda disappointed there isn't any real changes being made. I guess I couldn't expect them to do so for an incremental hardware upgrade. I wonder if they are taking so long because of the OS or because they're testing a different design.
Ugh... Apple always a step behind current technology... Since I can't tell much of a diff between 5 n 8 mp let alone 1vs 2 cores I'll pass n go for an iPad instead later on.
I lie 2 cores shows obvious improvement in a phone.
Well see.. I just don't get why they're not slowing production of iphone4...
It seems likely that Apple would expand to a third carrier in the US for the iPhone 5's release in order to eliminate one of the factors that - seemingly - inhibits iPhone sales. Furthermore, if Verizon sales have been less than stellar (as some reports seem to indicate), it would make sense for Apple to aim for a third carrier.
Phew...I had to upgrade to an iPhone4 last month, and was bummed about being so close to a new release with a better camera. If it's got the same camera, that's the only thing I wanted - so I don't feel so bad about upgrading early.
AT&T is holding me hostage to my iPhone 4 until Christmas or pay an extra $200 to upgrade before then. So i'm resigned to passing on this model and waiting for the bigger shift to 4LTE in next years edition.
wow, awesome post.Much thanks again. Really Cool.

Download the complete Summary of Research Questions Identified Through the Sexual Assault Medical Forensic Examination Research Forum (pdf, 23 pages)
During this discussion, several broad questions were explored: What is the effect of the application of specific technology and techniques to collect evidence and detect injuries on case
investigation and prosecution? What is the impact on the level of discomfort and side effects that victims experience from
a specific technology/technique? Michael Weaver, of St. Luke's Hospital, and Kim Day, of the International Association of Forensic Nurses, presented on this
topic, focusing on:
Broad questions included: What equipment is being used to take photographs of injuries, what techniques are used, who is taking the photographs[3] what is their level of applicable training, and how are photographs stored and protected? How is photo-documentation of bodily
and ano-genital injuries being used from the victim's health and criminal justice standpoints? Participants cited the potential usefulness of photographs to the investigation and prosecution, medical care, and examiner
quality assurance, peer review, and education. Surveying the field for basis data and doing cost-benefit analyses were suggested:
Several participants noted that examiners sometimes use the Foley catheter to get better images of hymen margins and detect
micro-trauma in adolescent girls.
Next section: Feasibility of National Standardized Kit.
[1] There was a trial program used in Arizona that taught SANEs to do a presumptive test for sperm and fast track the most probative
pieces of evidence to the crime lab to get results more quickly (initially to link serial cases right away with DNA). It would
be useful to get more specifics on this study.
[2] Concerned that TB dye had a carcinogenic effect, Michael Sheppo, of NIJ, provided participants with a material safety data
sheet (MSDS) on Toluidine Blue O. In review of an early draft of this report, a participant commented that the published carcinogenic
effect related to the laboratory stain was based on large quantities injected intravenously into mice. The TB dye used by
examiners is Toluidine Blue O — 1 percent, containing 1percent Toluidine Blue O in 99 percent aqueous solution. The reviewer
could find no data sheet identifying this 1 percent solution used by health care providers as a carcinogen; in fact, this
dye is used to diagnose oral and genital cancers, is washed off within a minute, and on any other MSDS and under several laws
that require reporting the carcinogenic effects, there is no reported carcinogenic effect. The worst potential side effect
is mild burning or irritation with vulvar use. The reviewer stated that the key is to be patient focused, tell them the risks,
and let them decide on whether they will allow its use.
[3] It was noted that examiners should be doing forensic photo documentation of patients in these cases, not law enforcement
[4] A question posed to examiners during the forum: When you have practice in looking through the colposcope and seeing fine
injuries, does the time come when you can see these injuries without it? One participant noted that research data are suggesting
no statistical differences between what examiners can see with the colposcope versus a visual exam. It was also noted that
SANEs in Canada have made convincing arguments against this technology.
[5] This conversation raised general questions related to how involved agencies within jurisdictions deal with storage, security,
and confidentiality of medical and forensic records in these cases. Where are records stored, how are they protected, who
has access to them, and how do they gain access (e.g., through a password available only to them)?
[6] It was noted that "fox" 8-inch swabs with glove rayon tips can be used to collect samples in adolescent girls.
