The Bible Not Fit For Today (II)
To which passage will you direct me to show Bible authority for the cyborgization of replaceable/repairable body parts. If I lose a hand, I do have Bible authority to replace it with a genetically engineered one, no? If I don't, are all the old people with pacemakers and artificial joints going to Hell along with me? Surely not, right? For that matter, why not show the Bible authority for removing a non-life-threatening mole or deformity, or for allowing an extremely homely person to undergo plastic surgery? If our bodies are the temple of God, how dare we alter them, right?
To which passage will you refer me in an effort to show me that life begins at conception? Which passage(s) deal with artificial insemination, invetro fertilization, test-tube babies, contraception, etc. I, for one, would love to know just how you determine as a Christian that when the first cell division occurs at conception, you have a life. I would have thought that perhaps it is after the initial cell divisions occur and the embryo splits...say, into twins or triplets, and that is the point at which life really begins, but I'm not a Christian. You tell me, and please don't fail to direct me to the Bible passage from whence you arrived at your conclusion.
To which passage of scripture would you advise I adhere to, to provide a doctor counsel on how to deal with a baby born with the anatomical parts of both the male and female sexes? Would there be any bible authority to surgically fashion a newborn baby into a complete male or female? Which passages deal with how we should treat transgender people? I would really like to know.
To which passage would you lead me to find authority and the motivation to pursue a space program? Should we even try to visit far distant planets? By what authority? As far as the Bible is concerned, we shouldn't even expect to find pond scum on those distant worlds, and their certainly wouldn't be any sentient, intelligent life out there. So why should we even bother investigating those lofty matters when earth was created as our portion for life and well-being? Should we ever discover aliens from another world who are sentient, what should we do? Evangelize them? Do they have souls? Do they have sin? On the one hand, if they have no souls and are to be considered as mere sheep and oxen, what if they are capable of doing the same moral things we humans do, like exhibiting advanced forms of love and compassion? What if they are truly moral beings? What if their morality actually exceeds our own? On the other hand, if we say yes, that they do have souls and sin, and need to be evangelized, have all those who died on their planet thus far without our "gospel of Jesus" headed to hell? These are some pretty serious issues!
Then, of course, there is the issue of cloning - where in the Bible do we find the go-ahead to proceed with this branch of science? Was it wrong to clone Dolly, the sheep, like we did back in the nineties? Will it be wrong to clone humans? Does cloning somehow encroach on God's plans for man? Will these future human clones have "souls"? Will they be able to go to hell for sins? Will they get off scott-free for wrongs committed? If these soulless things reproduce, will they be capable of having offspring with souls if one of the partners is a normal, "ensouled" human? Won't the children have to get the soul from the non-clone parent who has a soul? Or is the soul sent down from heaven at conception? Might God decide to send down souls for these clones since, for all practical purposes, they are still created in God's image?
Also, what about DNA banks, sperm banks, egg banks, and fertility treatments? Please give me the scriptures on these deep topics. I have other questions on the creation of artificial intelligence, but I think I know what the answers will be. All I want is a good and hearty "Thus saith the Lord" from the word of God to help mankind on these morally crucial matters.
As a former minister, I myself tried many times to find the answers to these questions in the "good old book", but never could. I give up! I am curious to see the Bible's teaching on how to proceed on these subjects from some current believers who are confident that they can do better than I did. I am now fully convinced that the Bible doesn't have these answers, and therefore, is a book that is far from fit as a reliable and applicable guide for matters of life today. Maybe someone can yet prove me wrong on these things.
Now I do hope that any wayfaring Christians who take to answer these questions will realize how much I appreciate their effort in doing so, but I also hope they realize that if their answers don't match up with the answers of their fellow believers, then this suggests that their book does not clearly offer these answers, if at all. Either all that is in the Bible is only what we have authority for (then we'd have to eliminate anything extra-biblical, like cars and planes, etc.), or the Bible implicitly authorizes and guides us today, authorizing a number of extra-biblical things that must be carefully and tediously studied out. However, it is worth stating that this has proven to be an impossible task to undertake, since no one has yet reached a consensus on these "answers" provided by the bible.
Stereo instructions for a type of stereos might be well written, useful, and relevant for a whole product line of a given stereo type, but as time passes, those instructions will inevitably become obsolete. Time and learning will render them useless. The same, I contend, is true of the Bible. It cannot be a valid means of answering today's complex questions and issues. We must look for answers elsewhere.

The Hottest Looks for Fall
Lavera proves that you don't have to sacrifice beauty trends when you choose all natural makeup! Bold colors can go hand-in-hand with strictly certified natural and organic products.
For lips, the hottest trends in makeup colors for Fall 2009 are bright reds and ripe, juicy berry colors. Purple is one of the best fall makeup colors for lips as well as eyes, so it may be worth getting a few shades of deep purple lipstick. Stronger, bolder colors bring color into the cool, gray days of winter!
Lavera's No. 20 Terracotta Lipstick gives a gorgeous purple color that flatters almost every skin tone. Rich, plant-based pigments give lips a gorgeous hue while extracts of organic shea butter, jojoba and almond oils ensure your lips stay moist and velvety soft, and to keep them from getting dry and cracked when the weather turns cooler. Layer with No. 6 Burgandy Lipgloss. Lavera's award-winning formula is non-sticky and rich in moisture, which deeply conditions your lips, while crushed natural minerals add shimmer and reflect sunlight. Applied over lipstick, Lavera's lipgloss will also make your lips look fuller!
Mattifying Mineral Finish Powder over your eye lids before applying mascara, liner or shadow; it will help your look last longer.
Apply shadow first. No. 1 Light Grey/Blue Eye Shadow is one of the major trend colors for the season and is void of any heavy metals or harsh, toxic ingredients. Line your eyes in black or blue for extra drama (Lavera's Eye Liner formula is made of organic beeswax). For an even more dramatic look, we suggest smudging it for that night on the town. Finally, lengthen and condition your lashes with No. 1 Black Mascara.
No matter which colors and looks you choose season to season, your health will thank you for following the most important trend—using organic and natural products that work with your body for a healthy, beautiful you inside and out!

Yes, recommended to a friend.Fantastic rug at great price! April 21, 2014
"Love this rug! It is well-made, true to description on website, lies flat, and is an excellent addition to our home. The colors add interest without being overwhelming. The border is a lovely red color as described (not a deep red, but a medium red, more like brick). I highly recommend this rug. Also, one of the rug pads I ordered was not included in my delivery, but I received excellent customer service and the pad was shipped out quickly once I notified Natural Area Rugs."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Nice quality sisal rug February 20, 2014
"Very nice quality rug. Will be perfect for our needs. Sisal may not be best choice for sitting on in family room- not a plush, comfy rug- but better for durability.
The fossil color border is more gray than how it appeared online (olive color) but still very nice."
Yes, recommended to a friend.Ms. January 29, 2014
"My rug arrived today and it is beyond all my expectations; well made, sturdy, and beautiful. I will be ordering more for sure!"

Fighting The High Cost Of Rx Drugs
AN INDUSTRY-WIDE TACTIC—At least eight of the top 10 drug makers have paid off their competition to block generics from entering the market. The FTC estimates that pay for delay deals cost consumers and taxpayers $3.5 billion every year in higher drug prices.
It's Time To End Pay For Delay
Competition is known to bring drug prices down 85-90 percent:
- A 30-day supply of the cholesterol drug Lipitor costs $194. The generic equivalent? Only $16.
- The medication needed to prevent blood costs, Plavix, costs $205, while its generic equivalent is $13 for that same 30-day supply.
- The antibiotic Cipro, used to treat a number of infections, costs $52; the generic costs $7.
And because drug companies can use pay for delay to maintain their strangle hold on the market long after their active-ingredient patents expire, consumers who rely on these drugs for their health are often forced to pay these higher prices for years before they see the generic.
CASE STUDY: Experts expected narcolepsy drug Provigil to go generic in 2006, but pay-for-delay deals kept the generic off the market until 2012. In the meantime, many multiple sclerosis patients had to pay over $1,200 each month for the drug, or manage without it. Bad news for consumers, but good news for the drug company. As the CEO of Cephalon, the drug company that makes Provigil, said about the deal, "We got six more years of patent protection. That's $4 billion in sales that no one expected."
Drug companies spend more on lobbying than any other industry. But if we build enough public support, we can stop the industry's pay-for-delay scheme and bring down drug and health care costs for consumers and taxpayers.
We're calling on Congress to put an end to pay for delay once and for all.

By C.J. McMANUSSun Advocate reporter
A Price woman is dead following a single vehicle accident on a switchback mountain road above the town of Scofield.
Public safety officials discovered the body of Brooke Tomadakis, 22, after she was ejected from a Dodge pickup after it fell approximately 150 feet from Pondtown Road, said Carbon County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Tom Stefanoff.
According to the Sheriff's official, Tomadakis was traveling with two others, Alvin Carter, 27, of Magna and an unidentified third individual. Their truck reportedly lost traction on the rear end while descending a steep curve and rolled.
"All three occupants were ejected," said Stefanoff.
Carter was reportedly transported via Air-Med to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center where his condition is unknown. The third person was taken by private vehicle to an unidentified medical facility.
The driver of the vehicle has not been identified and the incident is under investigation. Any pending charges will come from the Carbon County Attorney's Office once the investigation is complete.

Sunday Supper and Sort of a Recipe
Occasionally we here at Team Rosenberg hatch a fine idea. (And by occasionally, I mean annually.) Sunday night was the culmination of one such scheme. Inspired by the realization that there are many people we adore that we just don't get to see enough of, we made the decision to start a new tradition and host a potluck Sunday Supper at our house once a month. We invited family, friends, and all of the neighbors on our street. We invited people that live out of town, out of state and out of the country, and will continue to do so in the hopes that one of these Sundays, our far away friends might be in town and join us. We are hoping many people will become regulars.
Sunday night was our first supper. We had 35 people wedged into our little house. There were kids and parents and grandparents and old friends and new friends and brownies and seven different kinds of salsa. There was always someone playing the piano and it was all just what we had hoped for.
Selfishly, not only did I get to see lots of my favorite people, and eat lots of food that I didn't have to cook, I got to do it all barefoot. Also, for someone like me who has a history of just the teeniest smattering of paralyzing social anxiety, getting to chat a bit and then also have some hostess-y jobs to do was a perfect combo for me.
People brought a lot of excellent food and crazy good desserts. I did a build-your-own-tostada deal which is an easy, cheap, good thing. Even though it's quite simple and does not require a recipe, at Jeff's adamant request, I will share the how-to of it. Jeff lost count of how many he ate of these. (And by Jeff, I mean me.)
You can use canned refried black or pinto beans – I did my own. I threw a bunch of dried pintos in the crock pot and let them go for a day and then smashed them up with a potato masher. I fried corn tortillas (and by I, I mean my mom) one at a time in a skillet with a little vegetable oil until they were crispy and brown, salting them with a pinch of Kosher salt on one side. We set out bowls of grated cheddar, shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, salsa and sour cream and then let people build away. Jeff has asked me to mention that the magic is in assembling it in the following order tortilla/beans/cheese/lettuce/tomato/salsa/sour cream. Once your guests have departed, you can eat everything that's left over. (And by you, I mean me.)
It was fun. Start angling now for an invite for next month. I'm thinking spaghetti.

With Chris Drury out of the picture, the attention will now
turn to his probable successor as captain, Ryan Callahan.
At this point in his career, Drury is no longer more than a
figurehead of years gone by in the NHL. Callahan, on the other hand, would be the prototypical lead-by example
type that might fit perfectly with this young up-and-coming team.
Callahan missed time this season with two broken bones, but
otherwise he had a banner year and set career highs across the board.
The right winger dispelled the notion that he was a just a
grinder and took pride in the period in which the country recognized that
Callahan was actually a talented player. He became the Rangers' offensive leader while still maintaining his
typical hustling play in all situations.
The Rangers have committed to their core young players over
the last couple of years and rewarding the first of them to lead the new wave
makes lots of sense. The youngsters
already on the NHL squad and the prospects on the way are being trained to play
the new Rangers' style and having a model like Callahan should keep New York on track.
- Of course, if speculation from the Sporting News' Craig
Custance is accurate, the Rangers should be worried. Custance suggests that Callahan, an RFA,
could be a prime target for an offer sheet, especially if the Rangers quickly
tie up a lot of money in Brad Richards. Offer sheets are always a possibility, but the Rangers won't allow
Callahan to go anywhere. Floating the
possibility is part of agent Steve Bartlett's job, designed to put pressure on
the Blueshirts. But the Rangers want
Callahan and he wants the Rangers, so a deal is going to get done. On the remote possibility that Callahan does
sign a sheet, the Rangers will match, it's as simple as that.
- Over at TheHockeyNews.com ISS head scout Ross MacLean picked
his favorite selections from each round of the 2011 NHL Draft. Right Wing Shane McColgan was MacLean's pick
in the fifth round as the tiny Californian continues to be mentioned as a
potential steal. MacLean said, "Seth Ambroz's
fall to the fifth round is certainly worth mentioning, but it really
overshadowed another gifted American's slide. McColgan has deceptively good
offensive skills and that is saying a lot for those who have watched him dazzle
with the puck. McColgan's stock seemed to drop when he wasn't able to put
up jaw-dropping numbers in the Western League. Still, he can produce and proved
it during the playoffs with 19 points in 10 games. Adding a player of this
skill level does not happen often in the fifth round and the New York Rangers
will certainly enjoy the offensive depth it will create for them."
- After the New York Islanders traded a fourth-rounder for
Christian Ehrhoff and couldn't sign him to a deal, the team dealt Ehrhoff to Buffalo for a replacement
fourth-rounder. Ehrhoff is likely to
wait until the market develops for him as Friday roles along, but it's
noteworthy that Buffalo
is interested. If the Sabres pony up the
$5+ million it takes to ink Ehrhoff, that's a big chunk of change subtracted
from the team's budget next year and it lowers Buffalo's chances at landing Brad Richards.

Hi guys and girls,
I'm completely new to this site, and don't really know how to navigate around it yet, so bare with me if I'm being a total newb!
So, I started back on Slimming World yesterday (EE Plan), as I'm hoping to lose around a stone. However, I am not going to class and am going to be doing it from home for the time being.
My SO brought home some chocolate from Lidl to go into our sweetie drawer, as he loves them! The are called Mousse Au Chocolat, and they come in little sticks which you can get in all sorts of flavours. They are gorgeous! But now that I'm back on the diet I don't want to eat them, as I don't know the syn content! The individual sticks packaging is plain, so I don't know how many grams (or anything) they are! I'm currently at work, so wouldn't be able to give any nutritional values from the main packaging, until I get home.
By chance, has any body had these before, and know the syns off the top of their head?
Sorry to be so vague!
Thanks for any help!

Undersheriff Paul W. Trudeau asked the Jefferson County Board of Legislators during a budget workshop Tuesday night to reconsider a proposal that would eliminate two vacant deputy positions from his department.
With calls for service, arrests, violent domestic incidents, pistol permit requests, background investigations, felony arrests and drug arrests on the rise, the positions are sorely needed, Mr. Trudeau told legislators.
He said he was willing to settle for just one of the two positions.
Reconsider, take a look at it and, for public safety reasons, maybe I can get one out of the two, he said.
But after trading jabs with legislators, Mr. Trudeau left without a commitment in a year where budget constraints are even tighter than usual.
In constructing the budget for 2014, the county is facing a sales tax drop, a $3 million budget shortfall and a dwindling reserve fund. And it is only $118,000 shy of the states property tax cap.
But some legislators, including Robert J. Thomas, R-Glen Park, and Michael F. Astafan, D-Carthage, supported Mr. Trudeaus request.
I have to agree with the undersheriff. I think the county cant handle more than two major incidences at once. Crime is not going to go away. ... Id be willing to take another look at that. Its money, but money cant stand in the way of public protection, Mr. Thomas said.
The discussion about the budget veered slightly off course at more than one point, straying into some of the oft-visited areas of contention between the board and the Sheriffs Department.
When Legislator Barry M. Ormsby, R-Belleville, chairman of the boards Planning and Development Committee, asked Mr. Trudeau where Sheriff John P. Burns was, things began to get a little tense.
Im not sure what youre asking. What could he offer you that I cant offer you? Mr. Trudeau said. Hes on vacation. I didnt just come into the Sheriffs Department when I was appointed in February.
Mr. Ormsbys question was apparently prompted by an extended discussion about jail overbooking, which arose after the undersheriff asked legislators for more money to improve the controls on the security doors at the jail in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building.
Mr. Ormsby said he would have appreciated Mr. Burnss perspective on the matter from a historical standpoint.
And a question from Mr. Ormsby about sheriffs deputies patrolling Interstate 81 brought a similar response.
You know what, Mr. Ormsby, regardless of what you think about me or the sheriff, if youre in trouble, my guys will be there to help you, Mr. Trudeau said. I have a concern youre taking two guys off the road.
Following the boards discussions with Mr. Trudeau, county Director of Fire and Emergency Management Joseph D. Plummer asked legislators for the ability to hire three additional dispatchers, which he said would cut overtime costs from more than $240,000 to $90,000.
Department of Social Services Commissioner Laura C. Cerow, in one of her last acts before retiring Thursday, also gave a brief presentation to the board.
Before Mr. Trudeau spoke, Jerry O. Eaton, Republican commissioner of the Jefferson County Board of Elections, and Babette M. Hall, Democratic commissioner, asked the board to consider approving pay raises for their positions, where compensation is held in check by the state, preventing longevity pay from being taken into consideration.

Comments about Horny Toad Rosemarie Dress (Women's):
I am so dishearted to be writing this. I read glowing reviews for day...DAYS!...before finally deciding to buy the dress. I am 5'5'', 135, 34C and athletically built. I purchased a small after reading other reviews. The dress fit well around chest and arms, but from the chest down it just hung like a pillow case...I felt like a 5-year-old. This would be a great dress to take to the beach to wear over a bathing suit, but I think I was looking for something with a little more shape. So very sad to be sending it back!

For the past 10 years, R. Douglas Swinburne has been pastor of the Price Chapel. The local chapel is part of the Christian and Missionary Alliance, a small but fast-growing Christian Denomination with about 3 million members.
Swinburne will be leaving Price to become the district superintendent of the Central Pacific District of the C&MA. His new office will be located in Woodland, California. Swinburne will also be a pastor to local California pastors as well as supervise churches in Utah, Nevada, northern California, and Hawaii.
As a boy attending Price Chapel, Doug committed his life to Christ and sensed God's call to full-time ministry.
The pastor grew up in Huntington and graduated from Emery High School in 1972. He graduated from the College of Eastern Utah, earned his bachelor of science in mining engineering at the University of Utah, and a masters of religious education from Golden Gate Theological Seminary in 1979.
As a boy attending Price chapel, Swinburne committed his life to Christ and sensed God's call to fulltime ministry.
Swinburne met Donna Taylor at Price Chapel. Soon after, they were married and have now been husband and wife for 29 years. They have three daughters, Mary, Becky, and Julie. Mary is married to Destined (Dewbe) Wright.
Highlights of the past ten years as pastor of his home church are include being part of an incredible church family. Swinburne also takes pride in seeing the birth of Desert Edge Christian Church in Huntington. He also participated in discipleship training of the next generation of leaders.
The pastor also was actively involved in the Carbon and Emery county communities. He also watched a steady stream of new believers join the church.
Pastor Swinburne has also served the C&MA as a pastor in Santa Rosa, California and started a church plant in Fairfield, California.
The Swinburnes will begin their new responsabilities, January 1, 2003.

|WJ, Ashe Schools Working to Move School Offices to Old WJ Elementary
|Written by Gary Childers
|Thursday, 08 September 2011 05:41
A major topic of discussion during Tuesday night's Town Aldermen's meeting in West Jefferson was the possibility of Ashe County's Board of Education offices moving into its city limits. During the meeting's public comment section Superintendent of Ashe County Schools, Dr. Travis Reeves
presented information about the Board of Education needing more space for its central office operations and the options that were being considered to meet these needs. He explained that one of the options was moving its central office operations to the old West Jefferson Elementary building. But to do that, Reeves said the schools would need a conditional use permit for a tennis court area for a maintenance facility. The proposed move was welcomed by the Aldermen with the exception of one major concern which was the possible negative impact on the appearance of the town if a proposed maintenance building was built on the property. Alderman Steven Shoemaker said he would love to have the school offices there, but the maintenance building is of concern. After a good deal of discussion as to how to make it possible for the Board of Education to use the old school effectively without negatively impacting the efforts the town has made to improve its appearance it was decided to table the topic till the next meeting. This action was taken to allow time for representatives from the Town's office and the Board of Education's office to pursue further discussions on how to make this move possible while accomplishing the goals of both organizations.

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources is asking for the public's help in finding the individual responsible for killing a golden eagle at a location northwest of the county airport during the last month.
Golden eagles are year-round residents of the Price area, pointed out the DWR. The birds frequently perch on power poles, making golden eagles easy targets for irresponsible shooters.
Residents with information about the incident are encouraged to contact Lt. Carl Gramlich at 435-820-6011. The identities of people providing information will remain strictly confidential.
Callers may be eligible for a reward of up to $500.
Utah Labor Commissioner Sherrie Hayashi has appointed Garth Nielsen of Helper to serve as director of the state's office of coal mine safety, effective July 14.
OCMS was established at the recommendation of the Utah Mine Safety Commission, appointed by Gov. Jon Huntsman following the Crandall Canyon disaster in 2007. OCMS exists to maximize coal mine safety, prevent accidents and provide for effective wmergency response.
Nielsen has been employed in the mining industry for more than 35 years and he has had vast experience in ground control and underground construction.
As OCMS director, Nielsen will be responsible for monitoring mine safety and act as Utah liaison with MSHA.
Jupiter is currently directly opposite the sun in Earth's skies, making the giant planet bright and easily viewed with the naked eye.
Because it is at opposition, Jupiter rises over the mountains to the southeast as it's getting dark at approximately 10 p.m. The planet is high in the southern sky around midnight and does not set in the southwest until after 5 a.m.
The nearly full moon will pass fairly close to Jupiter the night of July 16, indicated Patrick Wiggins, NASA's solar system ambassador to Utah.
Jupiter will remain nearly as bright and easy to see throughout the summer, rising and setting a few minutes earlier every day.

The city is waiting for the state comptrollers office to advise it whether patrons of Maggies on the River can be served food and alcohol on the city-owned deck overlooking the Black River.
Last week, Mayor Jeffrey E. Graham sent letters to state Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli and the regional comptrollers office to get a ruling on whether the city can lease the deck to the owners of Maggies for use by the Newell Street bar and restaurant.
The deck became a source of some controversy after the city paid $80,000 to construct it as part of Whitewater Park and Maggies asked to use it for its business.
Three weeks ago, the matter came up again before the Watertown City Council when Maggies co-owner Reginald J. Schweitzer Jr. made the request again.
But city attorney Robert J. Slye sent an email July 12 to council members advising against the lease until the comptrollers office gives an opinion on its legality. Mr. Slye compared the deck to leasing a city to an entity.
Last week, council members Teresa R. Macaluso, Joseph M. Butler and Jeffrey M. Smith urged the mayor to get the state comptrollers opinion about it.
Its been in lawyer never-never land and I want to get it out of there, Mr. Graham said. Its been dragging along for far too long.
Mr. Schweitzer, who could not be reached for comment Friday afternoon, has applied for a temporary permit from the state Liquor Authority to serve alcohol on the deck until a more permanent solution can be found, city officials said. If the comptroller gets back to city officials, the matter may come up at the Aug. 5 council meeting.
In the meantime, Councilwoman Roxanne M. Burns said Friday that Maggies is the only logical user of the deck, since it is connected to the building. Although the city was wrong to pursue the construction of the deck with public funding because of that situation, the issue should finally be resolved, she said.
Ms. Macaluso said that the city should play it carefully and that she wants to make sure the city is not forced to pay back the state grant money.
I just dont want us to go out on a wing and prayer and find out were wrong, she said.
Ms. Burns said she doesnt see the comptroller coming after the city over the issue.
I cant believe the comptroller doesnt have bigger fish to fry than little old Watertown, she said.
State Department of State officials have expressed reservations about Maggies owners using the deck, saying the restaurant would infringe on the use of the park and the deck, which was designed as a walkway.
The state Liquor Authority also must approve the restaurants permanent application to serve alcohol on the deck.
Last year, the Department of State ruled that the only way Maggies could use the deck is if the city bought the tables. It would have cost about $1,200 each for two or three tables; the city then would have to rent the tables to the business.
At the time, both city officials and Maggies owners expressed their frustrations about the states logic.

No joke, I had real life encounter with MFS today at the gym. (And before anyone says "pics or it didn't happen", no I didn't get pics because I forgot to take my phone in. His manlyness would have broken it anyway.)
So I had just finished working out when I grabbed my stuff and started to leave, and as I was going down the hall he was coming straight at me. I obviously had no desire to go at him head on, so I stepped to the side. He was a rather portly man, and was dressed in digital-camoflauge cargo pants and combat boots. Attached to said pants were a pair of red suspenders, and under that he wore a olive drab-colored shirt with the outline of an AK which read "Kalashnikov" in Cryllic. He had a snow-white beard that came down to about the center of his chest, and under his glasses was a pair of thick white eyebrows and deep-set eyes that would have instantly killed a man had they so much as looked him. The icing on the cake was that he wore not a red cap, but instead a jet-black head wrap with red flame printing around the bottom. He also had his mystery (gym) bag with him, probably stuffed full of sweaty socks from his previous 347 straight days of working out that would explode like grenades when thrown. I only glanced at him on my way out so as to avoid being overcome by epicness, although I did feel slightly more manli after seeing him.
I hope I never forget this.

5 U.S. Code § 8107 - Compensation schedule
(a) If there is permanent disability involving the loss, or loss of use, of a member or function of the body or involving disfigurement, the employee is entitled to basic compensation for the disability, as provided by the schedule in subsection (c) of this section, at the rate of 662/3 percent of his monthly pay. The basic compensation is—
(1) payable regardless of whether the cause of the disability originates in a part of the body other than that member;
(b) With respect to any period after payments under subsection (a) of this section have ended, an employee is entitled to compensation as provided by—
(1) section 8105 of this title if the disability is total; or
(2) section 8106 of this title if the disability is partial.
(c) The compensation schedule is as follows:
(13) Loss of hearing—
(14) Compensation for loss of binocular vision or for loss of 80 percent or more of the vision of an eye is the same as for loss of the eye.
(15) Compensation for loss of more than one phalanx of a digit is the same as for loss of the entire digit. Compensation for loss of the first phalanx is one-half of the compensation for loss of the entire digit.
(16) If, in the case of an arm or a leg, the member is amputated above the wrist or ankle, compensation is the same as for loss of the arm or leg, respectively.
(17) Compensation for loss of use of two or more digits, or one or more phalanges of each of two or more digits, of a hand or foot, is proportioned to the loss of use of the hand or foot occasioned thereby.
(18) Compensation for permanent total loss of use of a member is the same as for loss of the member.
(19) Compensation for permanent partial loss of use of a member may be for proportionate loss of use of the member. The degree of loss of vision or hearing under this schedule is determined without regard to correction.
(20) In case of loss of use of more than one member or parts of more than one member as enumerated by this schedule, the compensation is for loss of use of each member or part thereof, and the awards run consecutively. However, when the injury affects only two or more digits of the same hand or foot, paragraph (17) of this subsection applies, and when partial bilateral loss of hearing is involved, compensation is computed on the loss as affecting both ears.
(21) For serious disfigurement of the face, head, or neck of a character likely to handicap an individual in securing or maintaining employment, proper and equitable compensation not to exceed $3,500 shall be awarded in addition to any other compensation payable under this schedule.
(22) For permanent loss or loss of use of any other important external or internal organ of the body as determined by the Secretary, proper and equitable compensation not to exceed 312 weeks' compensation for each organ so determined shall be paid in addition to any other compensation payable under this schedule.

The Last Serenade of KsE
Posted on February 12, 2008So, hot off the email. Words from Mike of Killswitch Engage all about the video shoot for 'My Last Seranade'..
Without further ado... read on: "Just got back from LA. Wow what an experience making the "MY LAST SERENADE" video was. Truly an amazing time was had by all in KsE - from the catering to the directing, everyone was extremely nice to us and made us feel right at home. Here was our brutal schedule: Fly in to LA from Boston (6.5 hour flight) at 9pm (12pm Mass time) Wednesday night, Got to the shoot at 5:30am Thursday morning, shot till 5PM, Grabbed a flight from LA to Boston (4.5 hours) arrive in Boston Friday morning at 6:30 AM.... and now I am at work putting in a full time day (what a life, who needs sleep?)
Paul the director was great... totally cool, made us feel comfortable and had awesome ideas for the shoot (Paul is a graphic designer/photographer/video director... he does it all, actually he is Marilyn Manson's personal graphic designer... he does some incredible shit). His positive attitude and enthusiasm for the video was second to none. All credit goes to him and his fine crew. The video consisted mostly of us on a circular red stage doing a live performance with crazy florescent red lights all around us. Also included was some footage of an actress (Tracy) that was filmed for an intro and outro for the song, but we did the bulk of the work. Paul and crew shot everything in every way shape and form possible. Some of the hardest stuff to get the hang of was doing the slow motion (which is actually sped up) sequences and fast motion (which is slowed down) sequences. I gotta tell ya, it was a total work out, just like high school gym class except ALL DAY.... we must have played the song 100 times. We were all sleep deprived, covered in sweat, and exhausted from the heat of the lamps and yet we had the time of our lives. Guaranteed we will remember the experience forever! Special thanks to Paul Brown (director), Melissa (producer), Tracy (the hot chick in the video) and Lea (stylist). Everyone ruled." Mike also let it be known that Duff of Guns 'n' Roses dropped by, as you do...
The band is currently shooting their debut video - "My Last Serenade" - a track from the forthcoming Alive Or Just Breathing (May 20 street date). Collectively, they flew from Boston to LA last night (24th). After a stopping off at various LA hot spots, such as Taco Bell (see tomorrow's interview with Adam), the band was fitted for some threads. As this is being written, the band is finishing up the 'shoot' part of the video. At the moment, performing live performance footage - word is the music is being played at 1/4 speed, so it looks real slow motion like...dig? The video, being shot in Culver City, will call it a wrap shortly. Then, the band takes the red eye back to Boston. Paul Brown, the man behind Coal Chamber's "Fiend" video, is heading this effort.
