Boler Attorney-Burd, Braddock 8L Bartz [57] ABSTRACT A garment for protecting an elbow or other protuberance of a bedridden patient includes sleeve for encompassing such protuberance. The sleeve is made from a cloth having a rela' tively low coefficient of friction with respect to sheets and other bedclothes and employing a nonabsorbent monofilament fiber such as nylon. The sleeve has a stretchability at least in direction transverse of the axis of the sleeve, A nonslip cushion constituted as a sheet of foam rubber is adhered to the interior of the sleeve to provide a protuberance-covering pressure-bearing portion constituted as a laminate of foam rubber sheeting directly in contact with the flesh and covered by the cloth layer, this portion being devoid of any seams or other obstructions which can cause localized pressure on the flesh at the pressure-bearing portions of the protuberance. A casing in the end of each sleeve completely covers an elastic cord. Together they tend to prevent the sleeve from rolling up and they act to stabilize the garment to maintain the cushion in contact with the pressure bearing portion of the flesh adjacent the protected protuberance.
8 Claims, 6 Drawing Figures PROTECTIVE GARMENT FOR BEDRIDDEN PEOPLE BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A continuing problem in the care of bedridden patients involves the pain and discomfort and the breakdown of tissue which develops in the pressure-bearing portions of flesh surrounding the various protuberances of the body. Specifically, the flesh around the bony protuberances of the elbows, knees, and the heels are subject to this kind of damage. Causes include breakdown of tissue due to constriction of capillary flow within the flesh, the pinching and abrading of nerves in the same area, and the abrasion initially on the skin and, as this wears away, on subcutaneous layers due to movement over the sheets and other bedclothes.
For many years it has been known that some relief can be obtained for the heels and the toes of the foot by providing a footboard along the bottom of the bed and draping the bedclothes over that footboard thus to keep the weight of the bedclothes off of the feet, minimizing the direct pressure on the toes, for example, while limiting the pressure which must be carried by the heel to the weight of the foot.
Various garments and wrappings have been suggested for further alleviating this problem, but each has been subject to one or more objections. Specifically, U.S. Pat. No. 3,322,118 to Sotherlin discloses a device for projecting the elbow or heel of a bedridden patient, but discloses elastic cuffs of substantial longitudinal dimension which are supposed to be for the purpose of preventing the device from moving out of proper alignment with the part to be protected. In order to get sufficient nonslip action, these cuffs have a substantial width and are fairly tight on the arm. This wide band of pressure causes many capillaries to be cut 05. Thus the flesh underneath these cuffs has been found to be subject to the same kind of discomfort and pain, if not damage, which the device is intended to alleviate. Furthermore, these cuffs have been found to roll up along the edge, thus causing even more constriction to the circulation clear around the limb, and thus more pain and discomfort.
The prior art shows cushions positioned in cloth envelopes; but this placement of cloth between the cushion and the arm prevents the cushion from clinging to the flesh to deter relative movement of the cushion and flesh. Thus the device of Sotherlin is subject to the objection that this slides easily from its intended position and off of the protuberance which is designed to protect.
Other devices in which a seam is situated in line with the area of the protuberance subject to the damage are objectionable because the localized pressure of such seams induces the discomfort and pain and ultimately the damage the garment is designed to eliminate.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Protective garments of the present invention have been designed to overcome the difiiculties in the prior art and to inhibit or completely prevent tissue breakdown due to prolonged interruption of circulation through the capillaries in the pressure-bearing flesh between the protuberance and the bed on which the patient is resting.
In a protective garment made according to the present invention as shown, a cloth sleeve made from monofilament, hard-surface nonabsorbent fiber is provided with a protuberance-covering, presure-bearing area which is completely devoid of seams or other obstructions, and this area is covered with a cushioning sheeting of expanded foam material or the like which, over the same area, is also devoid of seams, folds or other obstructions. The expanded foam material is adhered to the cloth material on the inside of the sleeve so that the foam cushion comes in direct contact with the flesh over the protuberance to be protected. The cushion has a high coefficient of friction with respect to this flesh and thus will lie in nonskid" relationship to such flesh, to tend to prevent relative movement there between.
The cloth sleeve is provided with a continuous casing around each of outer end portions thereof, and an elastic cord is situated inside of each such casing, the casing and cord being of dimension to make a single line contact with the limb at positions on either side of the protected protuberance and to be held smoothly and snugly against the flesh of the patient at such positions. Because of the nonskid relationship between the foam cushion and the flesh over the protuberance, the tendency of the garment to slide with respect to the protuberances is substantially lessened, but as the joint is flexed, the line contact between the casing and elastic cord and the flesh will tend to move, from time to time, thus permitting circulation through capillaries immediately adjacent the cord, to the end that the flesh 'does not tend to break down as is the case when a wide band of elastic blocking circulation in many capillaries was employed. Use of nylon or similar cloth which tends to cling to the limb also help keep the garment in position.
The cloth of the garment is stretchable in direction transverse of the longitudinal axis of the sleeve so that flexure of the joint which is related to the protuberance will not in and of itself put pressure of the garment on the flesh.
By positioning the soft cushion in nonslip relationship over the protuberance, and by providing a hard surface cloth on the outside thereof, the friction between the protuberance and the bedclothes is reduced, and the friction-generating relative movement takes place between this cloth and the bedclothes rather than between the flesh over the protuberance and the garment or bedclothes.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIG. 1 is a side-elevational view of the foot of a bedridden patient resting with the heel on the bedclothes and showing a first form of the invention in position on said foot;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the protective garment of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a bottom plan view of the protective garment of FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of the garment of the first three figures taken as on the line 4-4 in FIG. 3;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a protective garment of the invention designed to go on an elbow or knee; and
FIG. 6 is an enlarged sectional view of the garment of FIG. 5 taken as on the line 6-6 in that figure.
DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS As seen in the first four figures, a protective garment 9 for protecting the heel of a bedridden patient includes a continuous hollow sleeve 10 made from a piece of nonabsorbent, hard surface clot 11, made from a monofilament fiber such as nylon. Longitudinal edges of this cloth have been sewn together at the longitudinal seam 12 to form the sleeve I0, and darts l3 and 14 have been taken in top portions of the sleeve in order to shape it to better fit over the foot and ankle on either side of the heel. Castings 15, 15 are formed by turning under opposite end portions of the sleeve 10, and each such casing encompasses an elastic cord 16 which will have sufficient resiliency to snugly hold the casing in place adjacent the heel as best seen in FIG. 1. It is to be noted that the contact on the flesh of the foot and ankle is virtually a line contact. It is to be understood that the force holding the casings 15, I5 and hence the ends of the sleeve in place is light enough so that there'will be some shifting of this line contact as the patient moves in bed, thus restricting circulation permanently to no portion of the flesh.
of the heel on the bedclothes will always fall within that portion. it is to be noted that this portion is constituted as a laminate of the nylon cloth 11 and the foam rubber sheeting l7 and that this entire area is devoid of any seams or other obstructions which can cause localized pressure on or around the flesh of the heel.
Referring now to FIGS. and 6, a protective garment 29 for protecting the elbow or knee of a bedridden patient will consist of a continuous hollow sleeve 30 made from a hard surface cloth 31. A longitudinal seam 32 joining longitudinal edges of the cloth 31 makes the sleeve continuous, and a pair of casings 35, 35 each enclose an elastic cord 36. Foam rubber sheeting 37 is stitched as at 38 to the inside of the hollow sleeve 30 to form a protuberance-covering, pressure-bearing portion 39.
To put either of the garments in use, it will be slid over the end of the limb to be protected and the flesh between the bony protuberance of the heel, elbow or knee, will be situated in contact with the foam rubber cushion. The properties of this expanded foam sheeting material are such that there is a high coefficient of friction between the flesh and the sheeting material, thus virtually assuring that the garment will not become displaced and thereby assuring that the cushioning effect of this sheeting material on the flesh between the protuberance and the bedclothes will not be disturbed. This positioning is aided by the gentle but snug holding of the elastic cord and easing against portions of the limb on either side of the protuberance, and by the clinging qualities of the nylon cloth, for example. Since there is only a line of contact at the casings, any capillary vessel which might possibly be cut off by the pressure of the casing and its elastic cord will only be cut off at one point, and the other capillaries will sufficiently nourish the flesh in that general vicinity so that breakdown of the flesh will not occur. Also, since this line of contact does tend to move as the patient moves in bed and as the casing moves correspondingly over the limb, the closed off capillary will be allowed to open, and blood will flow therein even though an adjacent capillary may then be closed off due to the action of the casing and cord.
Although nylon cloth has been mentioned throughout the specification to this point, it is to be understood that any cloth which will tend to cling to the limb and/or which has a hard, low friction surface can be employed to make gan'nents of the invention. While, for the purposes of shading, diagonal lines to represent woven cloth have been used, it is to be understood that the cloth will be sewed into the sleeve in such a manner that a substantial ability to stretch will be afforded the garment in direction transverse of the longitudinal axis of the sleeve as seen in FIGS. 4 and 6, for example.
Because pain and discomfort afforded bedridden patients arises from the abrasion and/or pinching of nerves for an extended period on a localized area and from the destruction of tissues due to lack of circulation in localized areas, the provision for all of the friction of movement to take place between the cloth and the bedclothes (on the other side of the foam rubber sheeting from the flesh) and the provision that there are no seams to cause localized pressure to be put through the foam rubber sheeting onto the flesh adjacent the protuberance effectively eliminates such pain, discomfort and/or breakdown of tissue.
While the foam rubber sheeting is illustrated and described as being stitched to the cloth, it is to be understood that there are other effective ways of adhering the sheeting to the cloth and that these will be satisfactory as long as the pressure-bearing portion is maintained devoid of obstructions which can cause localized pressure to be transmitted through the garment to the flesh adjacent the protected protuberance.
The embodiment of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows:
1. A garment to protect the flesh adjacent a bony protuberance of a limb of a bedridden patient, said garment including a hollow sleeve of flexible, hard surface cloth having a relatively low coefficient of friction with respect to bed clothes, a
smooth resilient flesh contacting cushion sheet having a relatively high coefficient of friction with respect to flesh, said sheet being adhered to an interior surface of a portion of said sleeve to provide a laminate, protuberance-covering, pressure-bearing garment portion devoid of obstruction, at least one casing at an end portion of said sleeve, and an elastic cord in said casing tensioning said casing to tend to hold said end portion snugly in contact with portions of the limb of such patient adjacent said protuberance when said cushion is in contact with the flesh adjacent the protuberance.
2. The combination of claim 1 wherein said casing and cord make substantially only a line of contact with the flesh around the limb.
3. The combination of claim 2 wherein the elastic causes such tensioning of the casing against the flesh that the casing will tend to be easily displaced due to movement of the patient in bed, and wherein the cushion will have a sufficiently high coefficient of friction with respect to the flesh to tend to strongly resist movement with respect thereto due to movement of the patient in bed.
4. The combination of claim 1 wherein the cloth sleeve is further characterized as having a tendency to cling to a limb around which said sleeve is positioned.
5. The combination of claim 4 wherein said cushion is made of an expanded foam material.
6. The combination of claim 5 wherein said cloth is made from a monofilament nylon fiber.
7. The combination of claim 2 wherein the casing completely encompasses the cord and wherein the cord is formed as a continuous loop inside the casing.
8. The combination of claim 1 wherein the cloth of said sleeve is made up of nonabsorbent material.

Rough: Kentucky bluegrass; fescue
Par 4: Finding the fairway on this short par 4 will be a premium. Front pin placements are a challenge for any player hitting a second shot from the rough. Anticipate most players using irons and hybrids to keep it in the fairway.
Par 5: A 3-shot par 5 with a very challenging approach will provide a lot of entertainment. The area to the left of the green features a shaved bank sloping dramatically towards a lateral water hazard. Tee shots will be 3 woods and driver. The 2nd shot is key to this hole in that players must position their shots to the left side of the fairway 135 to 100 yards from the green. 2nd shots landing in the right rough are dead.
Par 3: Featuring an angled green positioned beyond a lake, this short hole requires a precise shot from the tee. Most players will take a par and move thankfully to the next hole. The position of the green has a tendency to catch up-drafts that impact balls more than a player can feel from the tee.
Par 4: Two fairway bunkers frame the left side of the fairway but the preferred target is the right side of the fairway adjacent to the lateral water hazard running the length of the right side of this hole. The approach shot from this position provides an angle slightly away from a shaved greenside bank sloping to the water hazards. Shot from the left side of the fairway nearest the bunkers require approach shots over a front left greenside bunker and towards the water hazard. Any shot landing on the right side of the green has a significant chance of rolling into the hazard. Players will have to weigh the option of length with driver or positioning with 3 wood resulting in a longer approach shot. A very dangerous hole.
Par 4: Going for the green in 1 is not recommended due to the difficult rough and bunkers that surround the target area. Front and middle pin settings bring the fairway bunkers into play. A back pin permits players to hit further down the fairway to provide an approach missing right greenside bunkers.
Par 3: Water lurks left and long on this lengthy, challenging par 3. A front right greenside bunker prohibits a "run-up" shot. A bunker on the left side of the putting surface will save balls from ending up in the lake. On a windy day, par becomes a valued score. Precision is required.
Par 5: A fairway bunker in the right center of the fairway calls for an exact shot. Longer hitters can carry it, but a front, greenside bunker may cause players to re-think going for the green in two. Most players will opt for a driver off the tee as par can be made from all fairway bunkers.
Par 4: This par 4 presents the most challenging tee shot on the front side. Players must carry the right side of the fairway far enough to clear the trees on the left. A deep greenside bunker stands on the right. A "middle of the green" approach shot is a good idea. Due to the length of this hole driver off the tee will be the choice club.
Par 4: A fairway bunker on the left will force players to aim to the right or short of the bunker. A well protected uphill green with a false front makes it difficult to hit the ball close. This hole will provide the greatest option of club selection for tee shots. The positioning of the fairway bunker dictates positioning of tee shots.
Par 4: This short par 4 requires an accurate short iron into the green. Roll-off areas behind and right of the green await overly-aggressive approaches. Whereas this hole offers a modest tee shot, the elevated and angled green challenges players on their approach shot.
Par 3: Target golf at it's very best. Although short, this hole features an undulating green with 5 distinct placement areas. Precise tee shots will yield birdies. Stray too far from the hole and three-putts are a distinct possibility. Players will mainly land tee shots past the hole and take advantage of "backstops" to bring balls back to the hole for short birdie putts.
Par 4: On this hole, the green is visible from the teeing area and allows for varied shot patterns. An enlarged green features a lower right side shelf that requires considerable skill to hit it close. Look for 3 woods and hybrids to position tee shots to the left side of the landing area when the pin is on the right.
Par 4: Considerable trouble (trees and channel on either side of the fairway) awaits poorly-placed drives. The large green makes club selection a priority.
Par 5: A demanding par 5 that requires 3 quality shots. The fairway bunker on the left has been removed, which opens up opportunities from the tee. The contours of the green require an accurate 3rd shot. Expect to see mostly 3 woods off the tee as being in the fairway is a must.
Par 3: Pinnacle's signature hole is a short, island-green par 3 that features several tee locations. When the pin is placed at the back of the green, players will be challenged to adjust for wind and elevations as any shot landing past the pin will end up in the lake.
Par 4: A fantastic par 4 features a fairway bunker on the left. The green stands near to a lateral water hazard. A back left pin will require all players to fly a ball all the way over two strategically-placed bunkers. Trees guarding the right side of the corner will require a driver off the tee.
Par 3: The front left of the green on this par 3 is open and will accept a run-up shot in a narrow slot. A big swale in the middle-back of the green can reward a properly-aimed tee shot—or create a nightmare chipping/putting situation for players who land on the wrong side. Par is a great score.
Par 5: On this long par 5, players will have to thread the needle between bunkers on either side of the fairway. A pond in front of the green significantly narrows the fairway and calls for caution when selecting a second shot. The green will reward good shots and punish anything that is not exact. This hole promises to afford an exciting finish to the course. With par possible for all fairway bunkers, look for all players to hit driver and hope to be rewarded for the gamble.

Tension lug size (PDP FS)
So I just bought a used PDP FS kit. When I checked it out the snare is missing one tension lug on the bottom size. Does anyone know the size of it so I can buy a replacement?
Re: Tension lug size
Just remove another one and measure it.
Keep in mind I'm pretty sure the FS Series also had DW True Pitch tension rods, and a standard generic rod won't fit the threading of the lug nut; you'll have to buy a DW True Pitch rod OR replace both the rod and the lug nut/insert.

Would you like to watch the Derek Lowe arrest video? Of course you would.
Jun 8, 2011, 11:00 AM EDT
So this is apparently the police dashboard camera video from the Derek Lowe DUI/drag racing incident that resulted in no charges being pressed for either DUI or drag racing.
Authorities are still trying to determine if the officer on the scene should be charged for being a totally lame power tripper. If you ask me, the evidence is plan for all to see.
- ryanmallettsbluntwrap - Jun 8, 2011 at 11:07 AM
Just another cop trying to use his authority to act like a bad ass , that is nothing knew .
- ThatGuy - Jun 8, 2011 at 11:11 AM
Although, if they do indeed have him on film drag racing and it just didn't get released, I would get mad at somone lying to my face. But that was probably just a tactic to get him to tell confess.
- heynerdlinger - Jun 8, 2011 at 1:50 PM
See below… Someone posted the whole video.
Hard to tell exactly from the video, but it looks to me like the police pulled over two black cars but that one of the actual drag racers was driving a light colored "Astin Martin" (in the words of the officer).
- ThatGuy - Jun 8, 2011 at 11:08 AM
If it's all on video, why can't we see the drag racing? I wonder if he won.
- ptho16 - Jun 8, 2011 at 3:10 PM
obviously lost if he got pulled over and the other guy did not.
- The Common Man/www.platoonadvantage.com - Jun 8, 2011 at 11:08 AM
Really glad that Lowe didn't pull out the "do you know who I am?" card. Actually, he is incredibly deferential here. Good for him.
- cur68 - Jun 8, 2011 at 11:09 AM
Having been pulled over by cops in 3 countries now (US, Australia, Canada) I have to say that's pretty standard 'cop' behavior. They treat everyone like that and I imagine, when the perp starts lying, they get even ruder.
- ThatGuy - Jun 8, 2011 at 11:12 AM
and he was lying, because honestly who golfs without drinking.
- Mr. Jason "El Bravo" Heyward - Jun 8, 2011 at 12:21 PM
You should make it a life goal to be pulled over in at least 10 countries.
- cur68 - Jun 8, 2011 at 12:38 PM
I try to stick with 1st world nations and English speaking. This only leaves me New Zealand & The UK. I'd never get pulled over in Kiwi land; those guys are too nice to stop me for DWB (the reason I'd been stopped previously in the States & Australia) but they might want to know why I'd fallen asleep at a red light which is why me and the gendarme had a chat last month here in Canuckistan. Coming home after 24 hours awake at work will do that to you. She was pretty good looking, too. Cop like that can wake me up any time.

Awesome video. I have to say that I thought Lowe was a class-act and if he really wasn't "drag racing" with the other car, then he showed tremendous restraint. Since when did a traffic cop become Perry Mason? Look, I have nothing but the utmost respect for all law enforcement people, and I probably would have pissed in my pants and told that cop that I was responsible for the Holocaust if he told me I was. But in this case, ask the question once, and then write the ticket. It was clear that Lowe was not a threat and was cooperating 100%. His voice was level and he did everything the cop said. And as another commenter said…kudos for not playing the "Do you know who I am" card.

20 min video here… he does admit to playing baseball, after the cop prompts him with "I don't know what you do for a living, but don't tell me how to do my job."

So two cars go speeding by this cop and he assumes they know each other and were "drag racing" against each other? What a putz.
- heynerdlinger - Jun 8, 2011 at 1:33 PM
Wait a minute, is he from Florida or does he live just a few blocks from there?

Much like children, cops are horrible.

A man, given a badge and some authority over others, on a power trip? You don't say…
- Chris Fiorentino - Jun 8, 2011 at 3:51 PM
I'm about 8 minutes into this video and this cop is a complete and utter embarrassment. Two cars speed by and he wants Lowe to tell him he is "racing". This is awful and I am very very very glad he got off on this stupid charge. I hope both of these cops get written up on charges. This is ridiculous.
- bigleagues - Jun 8, 2011 at 5:21 PM
This is where a British term for Police officer applies: Dick.
Lowe may have been speeding but I'm glad no charges were filed because that camera reveals an Officer abusing the authority given to him and i can't help but wonder what we'd be watching and talking about if Lowe was Black.
- bigleagues - Jun 8, 2011 at 5:52 PM
I just watched the whole video thanks to Chris F's link.
NO ONE should be in support of DUI. However, I love that the Georgia law is stated in such a way that you either 'voluntarily' submit to chemical tests of various bodily materials OR have your licensed revoked.
As someone who has ADHD and takes Aderrall like Lowe, I can tell you that taking it at 1 PM, depending on what type he is taking (long-acting or short-acting), the short acting version would have warn off long before 10 PM. Add in a long afternoon of golf and a likely work out that day, and his slight issue with walking and concentrating on steps and counting could certainly have been ADHD related.
- stehill51 - Jun 9, 2011 at 7:20 PM
He passed the tests w/ flying colors and the length of the "follow the finger" test was borderline harrassment. This officer was trying his hardest to manufacture an incident.
Lowe doesn't have to incriminate himself…. he clearly wasn't under the influence and probably had a 1/2 block challange w/ some punk….. so there's no reason to be admitting to "drinking" or "drag racing".
Most significant part of this video were the officers complete ignorance of the starting rotation of the Braves, their refusal to demonstate the tests they were requiring and their inability to comprehend simple statements (ie "i thought he said he played w/ Lowe", "you said you golfed not played baseball") unbelievable!
Cops like this better start realizing who they work for. This whole separate entity thing they got going is about to end as the country is getting fed up with abusive public employees in general.

SANDY, Utah – A Sandy mom thought she was buying an innocent toy cat for her toddler, but when the kitty started talking, she got quite a surprise.
The Catch-Me-Kitty invites toddlers to chase it while singing a song, but parents have been talking online for at least a year about the apparent inappropriate thing the cat says and it's unclear what VTech, the toy's manufacturer, has done to fix the problem.
Kayla McCune bought the Catch-Me-Kitty for her daughter two months ago, only to be shocked by its choice of words. According to a demonstration video on VTech's website, the kitty is meant to say, "Chase me, race me, you'll have fun," but Kayla and other parents say it sounds more like, "Chase me, rape me."
"I opened it and let my daughter play with it and about two times after we put it on, I noticed it was saying, 'Chase me, rape me,'" she said. "I had to turn it off and back on a couple times for it to register, that a kid toy was actually saying that."
And Kayla isn't alone. Around Christmas, consumers posted similar stories on YouTube and complaints on online product reviews. On amazon.com, one consumer says, "The song is disturbing." Another says, "It says rape me. Not cool."
Kayla wants the toy to be pulled off the shelves, saying it's a bad influence on young kids.
"I would like this to be pulled off the shelves so little kids aren't singing this song thinking it's funny," she said.
There are no signs of a recall or press releases from VTech addressing these complaints within the last two years.
"I just don't understand why this could go on for so long and nothing was done about it," Kayla's husband Jeffrey McCune said.
FOX 13 bought the Catch-Me-Kitty at a local toy store and it looks like VTech has changed its tune. It now says, "Chase me, catch me. You'll have fun."
VTech hasn't admitted any mistake despite the change and Kayla says the company won't give her a straight answer.
"I let them listen to it when they said, 'No, that's not what it said,' and they listened to it and hung up on me and I haven't been able to get through since," she said.
On Monday, an employee, but not an official spokesperson, at VTech said that after the company received several complaints, they replaced the speakers in the toy and changed the song to "chase me, catch me" so no further mix-up would occur.

What is Mathematics? (My Main Theses)
I define mathematical theories as stable self-contained (autonomous?) systems of reasoning, and formal theories - as mathematical models of such systems. Working with stable self-contained models mathematicians have developed their ability to draw a maximum of conclusions from a minimum of premises. This is why mathematical modeling is so efficient (my solution to the problem of "The Incomprehensible Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences" - as put by Eugene Wigner).
For me, Goedel's results are the crucial evidence that stable self-contained systems of reasoning cannot be perfect (just because they are stable and self-contained). Such systems are either non-universal (i.e. they cannot express the notion of natural numbers: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ...), or they are universal, yet then they run inevitably either into contradictions, or into unsolvable problems.
For humans, Platonist thinking is the best way of working with imagined structures. (Another version of this thesis was proposed in 1991 by Keith Devlin on p. 67 of his Logic and Information.) Thus, a correct philosophical position of a mathematician should be: a) Platonism - on working days - when I'm doing mathematics (otherwise, my "doing" will be inefficient), b) Formalism - on weekends - when I'm thinking "about" mathematics (otherwise, I will end up in mysticism). (The initial version of this aphorism was proposed in 1979 by Reuben Hersh (picture) on p. 32 of his Some proposals for reviving the philosophy of mathematics.)
Next step
The idea that stable self-contained system of basic principles is the distinctive feature of mathematical theories, can be regarded only as the first step in discovering the nature of mathematics. Without the next step, we would end up by representing mathematics as an unordered heap of mathematical theories!
In fact, mathematics is a complicated system of interrelated theories each representing some significant mathematical structure (natural numbers, real numbers, sets, groups, fields, algebras, all kinds of spaces, graphs, categories, computability, all kinds of logic, etc.).
Thus, we should think of mathematics as a "two-dimensional" activity. Sergei Yu. Maslov could have put it as follows: most of a mathematician's working time is spent along the first dimension (working in a fixed mathematical theory, on a fixed mathematical structure), but, sometimes, he/she needs also moving along the second dimension (changing his/her theories/structures or, inventing new ones).
Do we need more than this, to understand the nature of mathematics?
What is Mathematics?
Four definitions of mathematics provably
equivalent to the above one:
Why is Einstein much more
popular than Gödel?
Wir muessen wissen -- wir
werden wissen!
"Hilbert and Goedel never discussed it, they never spoke to each other. ... They were both at a meeting in Koenigsberg in September 1930. On September 7th Goedel off-handedly announced his epic results during a round-table discussion. Only von Neumann immediately grasped their significance..." (G.J.Chaitin' s lecture, 1998, Buenos Aires)

Wolf-Dogs: Out of the Wild
Season 7 | Episode 4 | Sheba, Ramses and Sofie
The world of unfulfilled canines keeps Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan employed with plenty of dog problems. But, the crossing of wolves and domestic dogs has led to a whole new set of problems with the wolf-dog hybrid. Cesar's expertise with dogs only goes so far, so he brings in wolf-dog expert Jennifer McCarthy to aid him in this special episode.
Together, Cesar and Jennifer visit the Galvez family, whose wolf-dog Sheba has been destroying the backyard and running rampant through the neighborhood. Milo Sanchez's hybrid Ramses has a bone to pick with Milo's English Mastiff Roscoe. The two have been in a couple of expensive fights already. Sofie belongs to Janice Reins and Charlie Mendez and has a knack for destroying and escaping whatever confines here. All three cases features wild animals trapped in a dog's body. Cesar and Jennifer answer the call of the wild, but can they bring balance to these confused canine hybrids?

Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to Keynote 2nd Annual Mandiant Conference
Now Co-Founder and Managing Principal at The Chertoff Group, Mr. Chertoff will share frontline insight into the always-evolving world of incident response from a homeland security perspective
Alexandria, VA
Mandiant, the leader in advanced threat detection and response solutions, today announced that former U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff will present the keynote address at the second annual Mandiant Incident Response Conference (MIRcon) to be held Oct. 11-12, at the Hilton Alexandria Old Town hotel.
Mr. Chertoff served as the second United States Secretary of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2009. In this capacity, he led the country in blocking would-be terrorists from crossing U.S. borders or implementing plans from within the country. Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Mr. Chertoff transformed FEMA into an effective agency prepared to deal with all hazards, as demonstrated during FEMA's response to some of the worst natural disasters following Katrina.
Prior to serving as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Mr. Chertoff served as a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit and as a federal prosecutor, where he investigated and prosecuted cases of political corruption, organized crime, corporate fraud and terrorism – including the investigation of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Today, Mr. Chertoff leads a global security advisory firm, The Chertoff Group, which assists clients in addressing threats related to terrorism, fraud, cyber security, border protection and supply chain security, while also providing merger and acquisition advisory services for clients in the security, defense and government services industries.
"Incident response is an absolutely critical function of any public or private organization because today's advanced threats are highly sophisticated, always-evolving and perpetuated by threat actors with varying motives," Mr. Chertoff said. "I look forward to keynoting and meeting with incident responders at MIRcon, and to providing fresh insight into risk management and mitigation from a homeland security perspective."
Now in its second year, MIRcon will build on its inaugural debut, providing attendees insight into the Mandiant world of incident response. Attendees will participate in sessions delivered by some of the most influential voices in incident response, malware analysis and computer forensics. MIRcon is a one-of-a-kind venue dedicated to sharing incident responder war stories, accelerating the adoption of incident response best practices that speed response time and mitigate risk.
Following MIRcon, Mandiant will host MIR Incident Response training, an incident response training class for information security professionals and analysts who respond to computer security incidents using Mandiant's flagship Mandiant Intelligent Response® solution.

The Art of Understanding an American icon-Ben Franklin
Lesson Overview
|The British colonists were beginning to create an "American Identity". Our nation's character was shaped by colonial education, movements in science and reasoning, the publishing industry and ideas of self-government. Ben Franklin was a contemporary of the Age of Enlightenment. He influenced many American Values we still cherish today such as being an entrepreneur, instilling hard work, being thrifty, having self-reliance, ensuring the right to free-expression and practicing philanthropy.
|Grade Range:

18.B-Understand the roles and interactions of individuals and groups in society.
18.B.3b-Analyze how individuals interact with and within institutions.
Language Arts:
5.A-Locate, organize, and use information from various sources to answer questions, solve problems, and communicate ideas.
5.C-Apply acquired information, concepts and ideas to communicate in a variety of formats.
|Copies of primary source for learning groups, 4 copies per group, 5-6 groups per class.
|Analysis Tools:
|Photo Analysis Guides (available on PDF)
|Rebus Ode to Franklin (available on PDF)

|Online Resources:
|Title of Source: Readers Theatre for Literacy and Presentation
|Day One:
|Previous to this lesson, the class had studied the growth of the 13 colonies, commerce, trade, and how the British colonists developed differently than their European counterparts. The class has discussed the emerging "American Identity" by making posters of American values.
|Have the class read a play about Ben Franklin to give them background about his life, character and background. A Readers' Theatre Script Adapted from Susan Nanus's Play Ben Franklin.
|The class is divided into five or six cooperative learning groups. Each groups is given a copy of "The Art of Making Money Plenty" by Ben Franklin and an analysis sheet (pdf), each group will share what they have decoded and what they think Ben was saying. They will describe the philosophy of money and whether they believe this advice is still useful today. The whole class will then engage in discussion and questions about the primary source.
|Day Two:
|When all groups have completed their analysis, discussion and analysis guide sheet, each group will share what they have decoded and what they think Ben was saying. They will describe the philosophy of money and whether they believe this advice is still useful today. The whole class will then engage in discussion and questions about the primary source.
The teacher will evaluate the lesson through engagement during learning group activities, time on task in groups, group reports to the class, class participation in discussion and individual rebus extension activity. Rubrics will be used to assess the extension activity.
As an extension activity students can look at some of Ben Franklin's sayings from his Poor Richard's almanac. Students can choose one saying from one of Poor Richard's almanac and create their own rebus illustration imbedding the Franklin quote in it. Use the attached rubric to grade this.

The Black Widow Motorcycle Bead Breaker tool is a fast and efficient way to break sport tire beads in the garage or shop. Most motorcycle, ATV, or sport wheels with 16″ rims or larger fit over the top 15-1/2″ diameter ring and are secured through the core by a 9-1/4″H x 1/2″D rim mount bolt with a wing nut. This core rim mount also keeps the tire at an even position when rotated during the bead popping process. Works great as an ATV bead breaker too!

Dwelling: A Call for Blankets
Salem, Ore--In collaboration with the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University and the Tacoma Art Museum, artist Marie Watt is seeking donations of used wool blankets to realize the artist's installation Dwelling. The installation will be part of the exhibition Marie Watt: Lodge, a mid-career retrospective exhibition that will open at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art on Feb. 4 and continue through April 1, 2012; the exhibition will travel to the Tacoma Art Museum in Washington State where it will be shown from June 11 through September 24, 2012.
Dwelling, first realized at the Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art in Ridgefield, Connecticut in 2006, is a soft structure of approximately 1,000 unfolded and stacked wool blankets revealing worn satin bindings and surged woolen edges. Each blanket is accompanied by a story provided on a tag: a beloved camp blanket, a favorite pet's blanket, a blanket purchased from a tag sale for the purpose of participating in the project, and even a blanket issued to a Holocaust survivor that he brought with him to the United States.
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art and Tacoma Art Museum are seeking the donation of approximately 100 wool blankets to intermingle with the existing blankets, which include 300 blankets donated by The Camin Family Foundation that will in turn be given to social service organizations for those in need at the conclusion of the exhibition. Each donor is asked to fill out a tag provided by the artist telling their blankets' story when they drop their blanket off at the drop off site. In exchange, the artist will provide a limited edition print to the donor in exchange for the blanket.
In Oregon, blankets may be dropped off at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art, 700 State Street, in Salem, Oregon. Hours for drop off are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm. Blankets will be accepted through December 22 but will not be accepted after that time.
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art was founded in 1998 to serve as an artistic, cultural, and intellectual resource for Willamette University, the City of Salem, the mid-Willamette Valley, and beyond. It includes four permanent galleries and two temporary exhibition spaces. Permanent galleries focus on European, Asian and American art, Native American baskets, historic and contemporary regional art, and European and American works on paper. Temporary exhibitions feature historical and contemporary art.
The Hallie Ford Museum of Art is located at 700 State Street (corner of State and Cottage Streets) in downtown Salem near the campus of Willamette University. Hours are Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. The galleries are closed on Monday. Admission is $3 for adults and $2 for seniors and students. Children under 12 are free, and Tuesday is a free day. For more information, please call 503/370-6855.

Stafford Hospital maternity threat: parents speak out
Posted: August 21, 2014|
PARENTS and mums-to-be have spoken out against controversial plans to downgrade maternity services at Stafford Hospital, which would see the maternity unit losing its obstetrics consultants in January.
The switch is being fought by Support Stafford Hospital campaigners, who claim it spells the beginning of the end for maternity services in the town, because all births with potential complications would go to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire. And they claim that ambulance transfers of women in labour between the two hospitals would put lives at risk.
Families travelled from throughout Stafford Hospital's catchment area to the protest camp in its grounds today to give their support to the Support Stafford Hospital campaign.
Rugeley couple Katie and Dean Rogers, both aged 23, said they had "no idea" where their third child, due on January 19, would be born because it was unclear when services would switch to UHNS.

The couple, who have two sons, Kyle, two, and Callum, three, said they were very worried by the change.
"I think it's disgusting," Mrs Rogers said. "My two sons were born in Stafford, and all my friends and relations have had their babies here. The care at Stafford is great and the staff are lovely, and travelling all the way from Rugeley to Stoke would be a real problem."
Christopher Watt, 35, from Wildwood, said he and his wife Ceri, 31, were expecting their second child in December.
"We are hoping that the birth will still be in Stafford, unless things change again suddenly," he said.
""The first birth, of our daughter Amalie, who is now three, wasn't straightforward and it is awful to think of being faced with an ambulance journey in the throes of labour.
"Living in Stafford, I feel we need our local hospital and what is happening here represents a slippery slope for the NHS in general. I'm afraid we are seeing the start of the destruction of the health service."
James Cantrell, assistant to Stafford MP Jeremy Lefroy, said he was also concerned, as a parent, about the plans.
"The birth of my daughter Beatrix went from being a midwife-led birth to a consultant-led birth in the space of about 30 seconds," he said. "That is why I feel very strongly about keeping a full maternity service in Stafford."
And Dania Dean, 34, from Burton Manor, commented: "All three of my children were born in Stafford, and they were all very quick births. There would have been no chance of getting to North Staffordshire."
And she added: "One of my friends, who is a midwife here, found out about the changes from Facebook, not from the hospital. All their talk about transparency is rubbish."
Local residents also visited the camp to express their support for wider hospital services, from paediatrics to critical care.
Alison Smith, 40, of Sandon Road, arrived at the camp with daughters Emma, 8, and Katie 10, after taking Katie for her regular check-up with a diabetic nurse.
"I am gutted about what is happening to the hospital," Mrs Smith said. "Having a diabetic daughter, I rely on the hospital, and their care for her is magnificent. I don't want to have to travel to Stoke with her.
"Both my children were born here and I can't fault the staff or their care. I feel passionately that these services shouldn't go."
And Diana Robinson, 78, from Rugeley, said her life and that of her 77-year-old husband John had been saved by Stafford Hospital.
"My husband was rushed into hospital six years ago, and we thought he wouldn't make it, but the critical care unit worked wonders, and he is fully fit again now." Mrs Robinson said.
"Then when I was diagnosed with a rare kidney cancer they did a wonderful job and treated me so rapidly. The care we both had was wonderful."
Her daughter Claudine Fencott, 49, added: "There is big housing growth in Rugeley as well as Stafford and it is so wrong to be reducing hospital services.
"It is going to be so difficult for Rugeley people to get to Stoke, and for relatives to visit, and getting to Wolverhampton's hospital from Rugeley is a nightmare."

By jaredmoshe | Jared Moshé's Blog April 9, 2010 at 6:49AM
If you haven't checked out this week's NY Magazine cover story The Half-Hooker Economy you are severely missing out. Using the story of Tiger Wood's mistress as a starting point, Lisa Taddeo explores the modern nightclub scene as a meshing of the worlds of geishas, pimps and prostitutes into a respectables places where the rich and powerful men go to get laid by young, hot, women looking for gifts and brushes with celebrity.
If you're looking for whales, you go out on Thursday night. Bankers go to Avenue and 1Oak on Thursdays. Mainly, these guys just want a girl for a night. Possibly a long weekend in Vegas or Miami. To meet these guys, a pretty girl just needs to hang around their table or wait for a VIP host or a bottle waitress to pluck her from the bar and say, Come on over and drink at this booth. The girls who are more experienced at this game will already be at a table with other men. Possibly, they will be looking to trade up, from traders to hedge funds or from hedge funds to celebrities.
As someone on the fringe of this world - often hanging out with friends who rolled in - I think the piece pretty much captures what creates the mystique of the club world. I've seen models pimped to celebrities, bottle girls entertain clients, hedge fund managers pull girls with their money. Not to the level described (I'm not even that close to cool), but even just being close to it was exciting. Unfortunately, the exposé itself only serves to re-enforce the world it aims to expose. That is the celebrities,club owners, promoters, bottle girls, models etc do engage in plenty of what is described in the article but if a club only had that to survive on, it would be out of business. That world creates the mystique that draws in everyday folk (and I mean this in the broadest sense of the word) looking to be "cool." Part of the idea of bottle service is that anyone from a carpenter who has been saving money to a lawyer can experience one night like a celebrity. They may have to be attractive. They may have to have money (or saved money). But it can be done. And I think that after reading about the possibilities of this world - even in a negative light - those everyday folk will be more likely try to attend. Hell, the article even feeds to those people in the breakdown of the current NY nightlife scene
In New York, the current clubs for the rich and famous and those who want to meet them are 1Oak, Avenue, Provocateur, and SL. Rose Bar and Boom Boom Room don't do bottle service and are thus considered on the outskirts of its culture, though the latter, with its notoriously tough door policy, is the most exclusive late-night venue in town. Greenhouse, Juliet, Tenjune, and the rest are middle-of-the-road. Former hot spot Marquee is virtually off the radar for the cool crowd, having been all but replaced by its owners—Noah Tepperberg and former Uchitel beau Jason Strauss—with Avenue. Clubs have a short life span, and generally the owners of one that's gone stale will open another instead of revamping the old, keeping the old one around to make money off the people who couldn't get in when it was hot.
A couple of years ago you could have found me at Marquee or Suite Sixteen or wherever, but it became just much work to go out like that in the end it wasn't all that much fun. Now, when on occasion I dive back in, I do so almost as a tourist out to watch an incredibly manufactured and well run system at work. Anyway, check out the article if you've ever been part of or interested in the club world. It's like your own private tour and you don't have to spend three hundred bucks on a thirty dollar bottle of booze.

As a Wrigleyville resident for the past 10 years I was delited to see Casey Morans open. My first experience was disappointing as the bartender claimed to know how to make apple martinis--yet gave me one of the least impressive martinis of my life. My second experience was also disappointing as my husband and I stopped in to eat. No one was in the restaurant, yet the music was blasting. We asked if it could possibly be turned down the bartender refused to do so---so we left. Guess we know where the customers rate. My third experience was OK. My friend and I stopped in for brunch. Service was fine and the waitress was pleasant. I have mixed feelings about this place. Perhaps it's the bartenders that need some work.

Great service, they run a tight ship over there. The manager would walk around asking if everything was ok. Thursday nights afterwork is always crowded and a great time. Cubs games, you name it. I live a couple blocks away and go here all the time.

Quotes on Religion
God may thunder His commands from Mount Sinai and men may fear, yet remain at heart exactly as they were before. But let a man once see his God down in the arena as a Man--suffering, tempted, sweating, and agonized, finally dying a criminal's death--and he is a hard man indeed who is untouched. - J.B. Phillips, "Your God Is Too Small"
Religions stinks – all of them. The difference between religion and a living, vibrant relationship with the Father of all living souls through Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the difference between death (religion) and life (being born of God's spirit through Jesus Christ). Jesus didn't come to start a new religion or reform an old one, He came to give us LIFE, and more abundantly in this lifetime and beyond. Gary Amirault
"To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." Bible
"Believe nothing just because a so-called wise person said it. Believe nothing just because a belief is generally held. Believe nothing just because it is said in ancient books. Believe nothing just because it is said to be of divine origin. Believe nothing just because someone else believes it. Believe only what you yourself test and judge to be true." Buddha - Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta
"If the bible is universally diffused in Hindustan, what must be the astonishment of the natives to find that we are forbidden to rob, murder and steal; we who in fifty years, have extended our empire over the whole peninsula and exemplified in our public conduct every crime of which human nature is capable. What matchless impudence to follow up such practice with such precepts! If we have common prudence, let us keep the gospel at home, and tell them that Machiavelli is our prophet, and the god of the Manicheans our god." The Reverend Sydney Smith (1771-1845)
"A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming." Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Say nothing of my religion. It is known to God and myself alone. Its evidence before the world is to be sought in my life: if it has been honest and dutiful to society the religion which has regulated it cannot be a bad one." Thomas Jefferson
"I'm often amazed at the way politicians, who spend hours poring over opinion poll results in a desperate attempt to discover what the public thinks, are certain they know precisely what God's views are on everything." Simon Hoggart
"Going to church no more makes you a Christian than sleeping in your garage makes you a car." Garrison Keiler
"Past the seeker as he prayed came the crippled and the beggar and the beaten. And seeing them, he cried, 'Great God, how is it that a loving creator can see such things and yet do nothing about them?' …God said, 'I did do something. I made you.'" Sufi Teaching
"Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction." Blaise Pascal
"In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught." Baba Dioum
"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics." Robert A. Heinlein
"Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends." J.R.R. Tolkien
"I never will, by any word or act, bow to the shrine of intolerance or admit a right of inquiry into the religious opinions of others." Thomas Jefferson
"I wonder whether there is any one in this generation who accepts reproof, for if one says to him: Remove the mote from between your eyes, he would answer: Remove the beam from between your eyes!" Talmud, Baraitha, Rashi (1050-1115 AD), quoting Rabbi Tarfon
"Believers, let not a group of you mock another. Perhaps they are better than you. Let not one of you find faults in another nor let anyone of you defame another." Holy Quran, Chapter 49:11 (Al-Hujarat)
"I would like to thank Providence and the Almighty for choosing me of all people to be allowed to wage this battle for Germany." Hitler, Berlin, March 1936 (It is amazing how many tyrants, modern and old, utilize religion to make themselves as gods.)
"God is not on the side of any nation, yet we know He is on the side of justice. Our finest moments [as a nation] have come when we faithfully served the cause of justice for our own citizens, and for the people of other lands." George W. Bush, the hypocrite
"If we pursue this way, if we are decent, industrious, and honest, if we so loyally and truly fulfill our duty, then it is my conviction that in the future as in the past the Lord God will always help us." Adolf Hitler, at the Harvest Thanksgiving Festival on the Buckeburg held on 3 Oct. 1937
"Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them." George W. Bush, the hypocrite
"The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good is my religion." Thomas Paine
"I've heard the call. I believe God wants me to run for president." George W. Bush, the hypocrite
"And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Isaiah 2:4
"We have enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another." Jonathan Swift (1667-1745), Irish author and foremost prose satirist
"He is not strong and powerful who throweth people down; but he is strong who witholdeth himself from anger." Muhammad
"Do not say, that if the people do good to us, we will do good to them; and if the people oppress us, we will oppress them; but determine that if people do you good, you will do good to them; and if they oppress you, you will not oppress them." Muhammad
"Among politicians the esteem of religion is profitable; the principles of it are troublesome." Benjamin Whichcote
Religion Quotes:
"If we do go to war, psychological operations are going to be absolutely a critical, critical part of any campaign that we must get involved in." General H. Norman Schwarzkopf
American preachers have a task more difficult, perhaps, than those faced by us under South Africa's apartheid, or Christians under Communism.
We had obvious evils to engage; you have to unwrap your culture from years of red, white and blue myth. You have to expose, and confront, the great disconnect between the kindness, compassion and caring of most American people, and the ruthless way American power is experienced, directly and indirectly, by the poor of the earth.
You have to help good people see how they have let their institutions do their sinning for them. This is not easy among people who really believe that their country does nothing but good, but it is necessary, not only for their future, but for us all.
--Peter Storey, former president of the Methodist Church of South Africa
"A person will worship something, have no doubt about that. We may think our tribute is paid in secret in the dark recesses of our hearts, but it will out. That which dominates our imaginations and our thoughts will determine our lives, and our character. Therefore, it behooves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics." -Robert A. Heinlein
"Shake off all the fears of servile prejudices, under which weak minds are servilely crouched. Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call on her tribunal for every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear." -Thomas Jefferson
I implore you to recognize the Church as a lady and in the name of the Pope take the King as lord of this land and obey his mandates. If you do not do it, I tell you that with the help of God I will enter powerfully against you all. I will make war everywhere and every way that I can. I will take your women and children and make them slaves....The deaths and injuries you will receive from here on will be your own fault and not that of his majesty nor of the gentlemen that accompany me. -"The Requirement", read by Spaniards to native tribes they encountered in the New World
"The mind that becomes soiled in youth can never again be washed clean; I know this by my own experience, and to this day I cherish an unappeasable bitterness against the unfaithful guardians of my young life, who not only permitted but compelled me to read an unexpurgated Bible through before I was 15 years old. None can do that and ever draw a clean sweet breath again this side of the grave." Mark Twain
Don't Do Religion
Jacques Ellul
Christians have always tended to transform the Christian Revelation into a Christian religion. Christianity is said to be a religion like any other or, conversely, some Christians try to show that it is a better religion than the others. People attempt to take possession of God. Theology claims to explain everything, including the being of God. People tend to transform Christianity into a religion because the Christian faith obviously places people in an extremely uncomfortable position: that of freedom guided only by love and all in the context of God's radical demand that we be holy. taken from Jacques Ellul - Perspectives on Our Age
"The tendency to turn human judgments into divine commands makes religion one of the most dangerous forces in the world." - Georgia Harkness
Why is it that "compassionate" conservative, gun toting, patriotic, politically right wing Christians usually behave and speak more like Jewish Pharisees, Sadducees, lawyers and scribes than Jesus Christ? Gary Amirault
"...when men ignite in their hearts a religious fury, they inflict at the same time a blindness on their eyes."James A. Michener, The Source
Religion is nothing more than a meticulously planned, carefully orchestrated funeral procession. Gary Amirault
"If we'd been born where they were born and taught what they were taught, we would believe what they believe."-- A sign inside a church in Northern Ireland, explaining the origin of intolerance and hate.
To many Jews Truth is anti-semitic, to many Christians Truth is anti-Christ and to many Moslems, Truth is inflammatory. Gary Amirault
"People who think of God as a warrior may become warriors themselves, whether in a Christian crusade, a Muslim jihad, or an apocalyptically oriented militia. People who think of God as righteous are likely to emphasize righteousness themselves, just as those who think of God as compassionate are likely to emphasize compassion. People who think God is angry at the world are likely to be angry at the world themselves." Marcus Borg, The God We Never Knew
"The curses of the ungodly are more pleasing to God's ears than the hallelujahs of the pious" Martin Luther
Letting go of religious doctrine can be as difficult as overcoming drugs or alcohol or an uhealthy relationship. Gary Amirault
Iconoclast definition: One bent on blasting bastions of bull. Gary Amirault
Why Christianity will fail.
Teach some or most of mankind will be lost for eternity and churches will accept you. Teach Jesus saves all and they will reject you. Little wonder then, that Jesus is leading His disciples OUT OF CHURCHES and bringing them unto Himself. Gary Amirault, Tentmaker Ministries

Set in a historic home just off the cobblestone streets of old town St. Charles, Bella Vino Wine Bar & Tapas charms diners with its cozy atmosphere. The menu is an eclectic array of Spanish small plates, such as chorizo-stuffed dates, fried calamari and spicy pork and beef meatballs. Bella Vino offers several pastas and flatbreads; most notable is the duck-prosciutto flatbread; instead of sauce, the base is rich mascarpone cheese topped with cured duck, caramelized onions and Gorgonzola cheese. Bella Vino makes its desserts in house, and the gooey butter cake is its standout. The bottom of the cake has an almost savory, brown-butter nuttiness that is complemented by the creamy and caramely topping. Cozy up by the fireplace, order a bottle of wine and let the plates keep coming.
