This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 260,234 filed May 4, 1981, now abandoned.
The invention relates to vulcanized rubber reinforced with bright steel cord.
The problem of corrosion of bright steel wire and the consequent loss of adhesion between steel wire and rubber in steel wire reinforced tires is well-known. A considerable amount of effort has been devoted towards the understanding of the mechanism(s) of corrosion and adhesion loss. Based on the results of the above studies, some progress has been made in solving this problem using the approach of modifying the rubber stocks and/or brass plating. One approach to the solution to the corrosion problem of steel reinforcement in tires is described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,052,524 Harakas 1977. Harakas found that if one first cleaned the steel reinforcing wire with acid or base, followed by a water rinse, coated the reinforcing wire with amino alkyl silane, then resorcinol formaldehyde latex (RFL) and then embedded the coated wire in rubber, the hydrolytic stability of the composite was improved. The adhesion recited in the Harakas patent, however, may well have been due to the resorcinol formaldehyde resin employed.
The problem with the Harakas invention is that the steel reinforcing wire must first be cleaned then coated with an amino silane and then coated with a resin latex before it is incorporated into the rubber. Along the same lines, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,236,564 Kalafus et al. 1980, which teaches that a phenolformaldehyde coating on the bright steel cord provides protection of the bond from heat and humidity degradation. U.S. Pat. No. 3,088,847 (Pines 1963) broadly discloses treating metal surfaces with specific amino functional organo silanes to improve initial adhesion.
The present invention solves the problem of the multi-step Harakas method and improves the humid aged adhesion of the bright steel cord to rubber. The present invention is directed to first coating uncleaned bright steel cord with an amino functional organo silane then incorporating the cord directly without a resin coating into a specifically formulated phenolic resin and silica containing rubber. By an amino functional organo silane is meant a silane having silicon bonded hydrolyzable groups such as lower alkoxy, and in addition, an amino functional organic group. By amino functionality organic group is meant an organic group which has at least one amino functionality and is bonded to the silicon by a silicon-carbon bond. The preferred amino functional organo silane is N-β-(N-vinylbenzylamino) ethyl-γ-aminopropyl-tri-methoxysilane monohydrogen chloride.
In the following examples, the amino functional organo silane coated cord was prepared by dipping bright steel cord in a water or alcohol solution of the silane. All dips were prepared by mixing together appropriate amounts of n-propanol and water and then adding the required amount of silane coupling agents to give a solution containing 1-5% (by weight) of silane. The most often used concentration was 2% by weight. The dip pH adjustment (when needed) was done with 0.1 N NaOH or glacial acetic acid. All dips were aged for at least one hour (at room temperature) before use. The following silanes were employed.

A 1�5�0.25 mm construction bright steel cord obtained from Bekaert Steel Wire Corporation was used in these studies. As controls, brass-plated steel cords of 1�5�0.25 mm construction obtained from Bekaert Steel Wire Corporation and from National Standard Company were used.
All cord processing was done on a dipping unit consisting of a dip tank and a curing oven. The oven temperature ranged between 90�-225� C. The temperature was monitored at three points along the oven (two ends and the middle) and is reported as such. Processing times varied between 60-180 seconds, giving cord processing rates of 1-3 meters/minute.
Cord pullout adhesion test (similar to ASTM D-2229) was used exclusively in these studies. In this test, cord is embedded in 12.7 mm (1/2 in.) rubber block and the force required to pull the cord out of rubber is recorded. Eight or sixteen pulls were generally averaged to give the adhesion values reported. The test (crosshead) speed was 12.7 cm (5 in.) per minute.
The cord-rubber adhesion samples were cured at 153� C. for 35 minutes and stored at room temperatures for at least 16 hours before testing.
To evaluate the effect of humid aging on adhesion, the adhesion samples were placed in a cylinder containing 100 ml of deionized water and sealed. Humid aging was carried out by placing the cylinder in an oven maintained at 121� C. After the desired aging period, the samples were removed from the cylinder, allowed to equilibrate to room temperature (approximately one hour) and tested for adhesion as mentioned above.
The adhesion data for bright steel cords treated with silanes of various amine functionalities are given in Table I. The data show that the unaged adhesions for the various silane treated cords are essentially equivalent to that of the Bekaert brass-plated cord and some even approach that of the National Standard brass-plated cord. The humid aged adhesions for the silane treated cords are considerably higher than that of the brass-plated (Bekaert or National Standard) control cords. Of particular significance are the adhesion values obtained for the bright steel cords treated with Dow Corning's Z-6032 silane at dip pH of 7.4.
The data in Table I also show that no significant advantage (if any at all) is seen in adjusting the pH of the silane dip to 4.5 as recommended by Dow Corning. All the aminofunctional silanes, therefore, can be used by simply diluting the as-received materials in appropriate water+n-propanol mixtures.

The performance of the aminosilane treated bright steel cord was further compared with the brass-plated cord in long-term in-rubber humid aged adhesion test. The corresponding data are given in Table II. The unaged adhesions for these silane treated cords are 5%-10% lower than the values obtained earlier for the corresponding cords (see Table I) and are only 75%-90% of those for the brass-plated control cord. In the humid aging test, however, the brass-plated cord loses adhesion rapidly but the silane treated cords show much higher adhesions. Once again the steel cords treated with Dow Corning's Z-6032 silane stand out in humid aged adhesion retention-showing essentially no loss of adhesion after humid aging for 72 hours (the brass-plated cord loses 87% of its adhesion during this time). The silane treated cords (especially those treated with Z-6032 silane), therefore, may perform better than the brass-plated cords in steel cord-rubber composites.

The rubber compound used in the studies reported so far contains bonding agents Hi-Sil and Cohedur RL. It was, therefore, of interest to see what role, if any, these bonding agents played in the bonding of aminosilane treated wires to rubber. The recipes for the rubber compounds with and without bonding agents are as follows.

While the curing characteristics and the properties of the cured compounds are not identical, they are close enough to enable a meaningful evaluation of the effect of bonding agents on the adhesion of silane treated wires to rubber.
The adhesion data for the rubber compounds with and without bonding agents are given in Table III.

The data show that the compound containing both Hi-Sil and Cohedur RL gave the highest adhesions. The compound containing Cohedur RL only also gave adequate adhesions. However, the adhesions for the compound containing only Hi-Sil as the bonding agent were essentially the same as those for the compound containing no bonding agents. There is thus an indication that perhaps the interactions between Cohedur RL in the rubber compound and the aminosilanes on the wire are responsible for the bonding of aminosilane treated wires to rubber. The differences in the adhesion values for the compounds containing Cohedur RL+Hi-Sil and that containing only Cohedur RL may, at least partly, be due to differences in the curing characteristics and/or the properties (e.g. tear strength) of the two compounds.
It has been demonstrated that the bright steel cords treated with the various aminosilane coupling agents adhere very well to the rubber compounds containing Cohedur RL and Hi-Sil. The unaged adhesions of the aminosilane treated wire were found to be equivalent to that of the Bekaert brass-plated wire and somewhat lower than that of the National Standard brass-plated wire. The humid aged adhesions for the silane treated wires were, however, found to be considerably better than that of the brass-plated wires.
Dip pickup of the silane onto the cords was very small indicating a molecular thickness of the silane on the cord was sufficient. The amount of dip pickup is small but effective.

We've still got awhile until Zoolander 2 hits theaters (2014, people!)—but thankfully, director RJ Cutler is here to ensure that nobody's deprived of style-centric feature films until then.
Cutler, whose 2009 documentary, The September Issue, was a hit with both critics and crowds alike, is hard at work on an adaptation of the 1986 novel Fabulous Nobodies. Set in 1980s Manhattan, the novel tells the story of uniquely-named nightclub door girl Reality Nirvana Tuttle, a twentysomething obsessed with fashion.
Producer Julie Anne Quay describes the story as "Emma meets Clueless,"—and considering Nobodies author Tulloch is a former editor-in-chief herself, we're guessing there will be fashion-world jokes aplenty in this flick. The project will begin filming this fall, and Cutler's team is reportedly searching for a chic actress to play Reality. Any guesses as to who might land the role?

I searched around the internet first for a solution to this, but haven't found one yet, so I figured I'd see if you guys over here might know a fix.
When I click on the canvas with the text tool or drag to make a text box the flashing cursor won't show up, neither will whatever I'm trying to type, though it will appear in the name of the layer. The opacity is at 100% and the font isn't the same color as the background. Apparently this problem has been around since CS1, but the only useful suggestion I found via google was to restore Photoshop to the default presets, which didn't help.
EDIT: Turns out the resolution had somehow been set to 1, so I set it to 72 and it's working fine now.

Fisheries Victoria gained some optimistic results from Expedition Pass Reservoir after its latest survey indicated thriving population of Macquarie perch in the Victorian waters.
Expedition Pass - Macquarie perch release after survey
Fisheries Victoria is encouraged by a recent survey in Expedition Pass Reservoir, near Castlemaine.
The survey results confirm that stocked Macquarie perch are surviving and growing alongside redfin and stocked golden perch.
Six Macquarie perch were caught, the biggest of which was 28cm, a comparable size to similarly aged fish from Lake Dartmouth.
Nearly 10,000 Macquarie perch have been released into the reservoir to assist in this endangered species' recovery.
Macquarie perch can only be taken from three waters in accordance with strict catch limits and a three month closed season: Macquarie Perch
Fisheries managers hope to open a fishery for the species here in coming years.
The survey also captured five golden perch between 39 and 46cm and over 30 redfin to 31cm.
Golden perch may be taken from the reservoir now - catch limits are here: Department of Primary Industry

Self-healing material could plug holes in space ships
- Ben Coxworth
- August 26, 2015
As the movies have shown us, space travel is an intimidating prospect, what with the possibilities of running out of air, the rocket engines conking out, or the shipboard computer deciding to bump off the crew. Another danger is fast-flying orbital debris piercing the hull. Scientists may be on their way to a solution to that one, however, in the form of a new self-healing material.Read More

Personally, I found the aroma of essential oils by Now Foods, including this one, has some indescribable boundary which limits the pleasurable smelling sensation of mine. And this is crucial because aromatherapy works by smelling the scent you like very much to achieve the psychological benefits. For me, they don't smell natural enough and fail to surprise me with the "wow" aroma like other more expensive brands do.

Amazon seller breakdown, 3-mode vs 1-mode

With all the complaints about varying products and 1-mode versus 3-mode switches, I decided to trawl through 100+ comments looking for sellers specifically named, and also directly contacted a few of them myself.
Seller names with a * next to them are ones I got a conclusive e-mail response from.

REPORTEDLY Unreliable (product switching):
Coco Fed
You might prefer a US based seller (may only cost 50¢ more), so that you get the product in a week instead of a month, and fast returns if there are problems. Be sure to take a good look at seller ratings before buying, and post negative seller feedback if you are treated badly... Some of the cheapest sellers have only 50-60% positive rating, while it is normal to see 90% positive.
The cheapest sellers are typically offering the 1-mode light, so expect to pay a bit more for a 3-mode. You should also realize that 3-mode isn't always a good thing... Several reviewers have complained that they don't like the extra complexity and confusing (memory) behavior, so consider your needs carefully. As bright as this is, I insist on 3-mode so I can dim the light (about 40 lumens), and get several times longer battery life. The combination of high/low and flood/spot very effectively covers the full range of flashlight usage scenarios. I do wish LOW was the first mode in the cycle... you can't un-blind yourself after the fact. And I'd like an even-lower brightness mode, ~5 lumens.
It is a waste to buy 14500 Li-Ion batteries... Most of them cost ~$4/each, and have just 10% more power (Volt*Amp/Hours) than a $2/each LSD NiMH rechargeable, which withstands much more use and abuse (and Li-Ions are notorious for vastly exaggerated specs). Contrary to some other reviews here, I've seen absolutely NO difference in light output whether my lights are driven by 1.5V or 3.6V, so the regulator is doing a superb job. Although a hot-off-the-charger Li-Ion battery, briefly at ~4.2 volts might over-drive the LED for a small increase. If weight was critical, I would prefer disposable Lithium AAs to Li-Ions. Also, a single AA is much cheaper, smaller, and more convenient than 3xAAAs, yet both provide nearly the same amount of power. In a pinch, this flashlight even runs reliably on a single AAA battery without modification. So this unit is superior to most other (18650) small flashlights.
On a single Tenergy Centura LSD AA NiMH Battery, I get 1.5 hours of run-time on HIGH before the light dims. I expect "strobe" mode to get double that. LOW mode lasts about 4.5 hours before the voltage presumably drops too low and the regulator suddenly shuts-off the light entirely. I measured a current of approx email@example.com on HIGH, and email@example.com on LOW. With a 13¢ "Super Heavy Duty" AA battery, I got about half the run-time, which is decent and useful in emergencies (but starts to dim sooner than NiMH). With a battery extension tube converting this to 2xAAs, on HIGH I get 4 hours of run-time, a 33% improvement.
Most 3-mode sellers are offering cheap clones of the 150 lumen Ultrafire SK68, which is itself a very similar clone of the 120 lumen Sipik SK68 which a few people have also received. You may be interested to know that the Sipik was itself originally a MUCH cheaper clone (using a different battery) of the old 220 lumen Nitecore Extreme
The wide array of blank/unbranded SK68 clones sold here can be different than their Ultrafire cousins... A few have a different thread diameter and the button protruding from the tail-cap so they *can't tail-stand*. Meanwhile it seems most lack proper voltage regulation ("buck"), so they're 2.5X as bright with a Li-Ion battery, or 2X as bright with 2xAAs using an extension tube, and may burn out the LED quickly on the higher voltage. The design and build quality of the clones is never quite as good as the Ultrafires, but they're decent lights, and typically still well-worth the price. I'd stick with Ultrafire branded lights for any critically important usage, like camping/hiking, myself.
This is nearly the PERFECT small flashlight. I always carry one in my back pocket, next to my wallet... I rarely notice it and I've always got a great flashlight with me when I need it. With an extension tube, it can fill the role of a MEDIUM sized flashlight as well. With the belt-clip turned backwards, it can clip on a hat for a hands-free headlamp. The high/low modes and flood/spot zoom lens means you get the exact lighting you want for nearly any purpose. And it makes a great lantern/whole-room light if you unscrew and remove the lens entirely (equivalent to a 15W bulb). Ultrafire rates this "SK68" light as 150 lumens, not 300lm as listed here, and it's pretty evenly matched with my 190 lumen Dorcy CyberLight. I just wish I could find a large 2xD flashlight with all these same features, other than the discontinued Small Sun ZY-A601.
- The belt clip should be turned the other way around (or just drill a second set of screw holes near the head, so customers can choose). That would allow clipping to a hat or similar for hands-free headlamp use (without needing an extension tube). It would allow quick mounting under a car hood as a work-light, and more.
- An even lower ~5 lumen brightness mode would be great for preserving night-vision, up-close work, or indoor use, and would allow a single AA to run your light non-stop for 48 hours. I've resorted to also carrying around those $2 1xAA "3W Police" LED lights as well.
- Lowest mode first when turning-on the flashlight would be best, then cycle through higher modes as needed. Alternatively, a memory or a switch to set (and keep) the preferred initial mode might make everyone happy.
- An inexpensive pack of colored lenses seems like a common request. I believe most people want, in order of decreasing priority: Red, Amber, Green, Blue.
- Sold together with an extension tube would be a great option, like the Ultrafire C3 usually is. There's a big market for 2xAA mini-maglites, so I'm not the only one who would like the option of that larger form-factor. You CAN find extension tubes for (most of) these lights here on Amazon thanks to their compatibility with "3W Police" lights:
* 3W White LED 2 AA Handy Camping Flashlight Torch
* 3W White LED 2 AA Handy Camping Night Light Bulb Flashlight Torch
* 3W White LED 2 AA Handy Handheld Camping Flashlight Torch
If you have any information to add, particularly if you believe my list is inaccurate, feel free to leave a comment below. I can update it with new information as it becomes available.

Product switching going on!
By Dale Reynolds
The reason for the variation in the reviews, is because they are shipping different product at different times, likely all Cree Quality Control rejects. I made orders of 3, 5 and 7 flashlights in sequence. The order of 3 was great and resulted in my decision to make the two subsequent orders. The order of 5 were labeled Sipik and mostly junk, the order of 7 was unlabeled but acceptable. Attempts to return the items resulted in a run around of e-mail, sending pictures, and unloading the cost to ship and risk of loss back to me.
I would also like to know if Happy Electronics, Lucky Electronics, BBQbuy and BestDeal777 are all the same company. They all were involved in some way in the 3 orders when I thought I was dealing with one company.
The product switching is clearly deceptive marketing and unethical, as well as unfair to other vendors. I won't be buying anything shipping directly from China. Amazon credibility and good name also suffers from such practicesl.

Great little torch. Demo video for the Operation Modes
By c32077
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3JMZ5HDCZTPEN Hello all,
Just a quick review and a bit of instruction that I've discovered to work on my 3 flashlights.
For the money, I am very happy with this little gem of a light. It is small and it uses a commonly found battery. Run time may be suspect for some, but for infrequent to moderate use it's wonderful. For a small carry torch it does whatever you would need to do with it. I use it all the time to get through the dark parts of my basement or toolbox at night on the wide angle beam and for spotting the animals and neighborhood kids causing trouble in our yards with the focused beam.
A lot of people have posted about issues they are having with their lights having either 'on/off mode' or 'high/low/strobe modes' using the switch on the back, but not both. I can say that all three of these torches I purchased have had all of these modes depending on how you use the button and the period in between 'on' or 'off' cycles. I discovered this by accident on my first flashlight which was lost in a motorcycle accident. I ordered two next time because I missed it so much. Of my entire ordeal from the accident the one thing I was most sore about was losing that little flashlight. When the next two arrived the first thing I did was cycle through all of the modes to make sure my last one wasn't a fluke. It wasn't. These two worked exactly the same way. It would have probably helped if the manufacturer had placed some type of instructions for this in the box, but none of mine arrived with anything but the bubble wrapped light inside a plain white box. I assume you all received the same.
Here is what I've discovered:
On/Off Mode (high brightness only):
Click once to turn it on - it will always be on the brightest setting if it has sat for a while - Click once again to turn it off.
Let it sit for 3 seconds or so and you can repeat the above with the exact same result every time.
High/Low/Strobe Mode:
Click once to turn it on - this will be High brightness - click it again twice within a second of the first click - this will be Low brightness - click it again twice within a second of the previous click - this will be a strobe at high brightness - click it again to turn it off. Let it sit in the off mode for 3 seconds after any of these modes and it will return to the On/Off mode with full brightness next time you turn it on.
You can also turn it on at full brightness and depress the switch only partially to cycle through the High/Low/Strobe modes without turning the light off between modes.
I will try to attach a video to show this. I've never done this before so it may not work (which is why I offered the written instructions above). In the video it may be difficult to recognize the brightness modes, but you'll believe me after you try it yourself.
In conclusion, I think wherever you buy this light it is very much worth it for the price. I think it will make a very practical and useful gift on the cheap that almost anyone will be happy to have. Even if they just keep it in a glove box, in an emergency kit in the trunk/boot, in a saddle bag of their motorcycle, in a back pack or whatever, they will be happy to have it when they need it. The light uses readily available AA batteries and is super easy to use (once you know how to work the magic button on the back).
I hope this review/demo has been helpful.
Edit on 14 Aug 2013:
It seems there is no way of telling which model flashlight you are going to get when you order. I've order from this vendor at least twice and have gotten flashlights with 3 modes and flashlights with on/off. On mine I notice the flashlights with the on/off only mode the orange button is smooth and shiny. On the ones with 3 modes the button is dull/matte orange and has a very slight texture to it. So it seems it is a coin toss whether you get the 3 mode or the on/off mode flashlights. I wish I had any better info on this and how to ensure you get the one you want. I typically use the full bright only mode on all of them so on/off works for me, but I have used the med light once or twice in situations where I planned to have the light on for a bit longer than usual (I took a shower when the power went out by setting this thing on the corner of my vanity on medium light and flooding light on the ceiling). Good luck.

Other important Ôshima films included "Koshikei" ("Death by Hanging") (1968), an examination of the prejudicial treatment of Koreans in Japan; "Shonen" ("Boy") (1969), which dealt with the cruel use of a child for extortion purposes, and with the child's subsequent escapist fantasies; "Tokyo Senso Sengo Hiwa" ("The Man Who Left His Will on Film") (1970), about another ongoing concern of Ôshima's, the art of filmmaking itself; and "Gishiki" ("The Ceremony") (1971), which presented a microcosmic view of Japanese postwar history through the lives of one wealthy family. In later years, Ôshima repeatedly turned to sources outside Japan for the production of his films. This was the case with "R... Continue Bio >>

Dealing with physician compensation based on quality outcomes is a thorny issue for hospitals and health systems; 59% report that they base bonus compensation for their physicians on their performance on quality measures, while fewer, 43%, link quality outcomes to standard compensation for physicians. Ranney's not even sure that financial rewards are necessary to achieve quality alignment, however.
"Physicians generally will align to quality without incentives if they get data associated with it and they believe it," he says. "However, the incentive helps you align the physician early on, so you get past the argument that the data is bad."
For the majority of the respondents (58%), physician employment seems to hover between 1% and 30% of their medical staff, but many hospitals and systems report their employment of physicians reaches far higher than that level, and only 9% report no physician employment. Some 67% of respondents noted that they employ 30% of their physicians or less.
Ranney expects the trend to employ more physicians to continue for most hospitals and systems, although much of the desire for employment, he says, rests on the desire of younger physicians to structure their work that way. "We're employing voluntarily and some nonvoluntarily because that's what physicians want." Still, he expects the majority of physician employment to be represented among primary care, hospitalists, general surgery, and cardiology, with other specialties only sprinkled in, for now, to fill gaps.
Even with the greater employment, physician alignment is no given, says Ranney, echoing survey respondents.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

As the days count down to some big film festival deadlines, I am editing, editing, editing away at the longer version of Surviving In The Cracks. While I have not landed any structured financial support to complete this project I have received encouraging words from the likes of the National Film Board, Paperny FIlms and Knowledge Network. So onwards I go.
To enhance the depths of this version of the film I am looking for animators, graphic artists, music composers, and I am again in touch with Tegan and Sara, who generously allowed me to use their song "Divided" in my trailer this summer. I will need a publicist and a distributor as well, if you know of any good ones. Lastly, I am looking for screeners to view rough cuts and provide feedback. If you feel you have anything to contribute in any of the roles mentioned, please get in touch with me soon.
I intend to submit this version of the film to DOXA in Vancouver, Western Canada's largest documentary film festival, Hot Docs in Toronto, Canada's largest doc film fest, and Yorkton, in Yorkton, SK – the longest running film festival of its kind in North America. In the new year, I will continue to search for and submit to other appropriate festivals.
I also have some updates on a few of the actors, for those of you who have seen the play or caught the 15 minute film at VSFF. I took Cody out for lunch on Sunday and bought him his first G-Money burger from Vera's – a sure bet to satisfy even the hungriest person. Cody is doing well, playing hockey, staying out of trouble, and he even gets to see his little sister from time to time. I showed him the film (he hadn't seen it yet) and he laughed his head off. I went with Davina to see Fraggle perform in David Diamond's "After Homelessness" Forum Theatre Production – wow, Fraggle is an amazing actor – go Fraggle! Here is a link to an article about that play. I also spoke with Amethyst a week ago and she seems to be doing well too.
Back to editing…

Trending now.... your private information out their for everyone to laugh at, while Zuckerberg rakes in the money, and you get nothing
Facebook users start by giving their allegiance to Zuckerberg. The moment you sign up and 'post', you are admitting that you need the gossip from your friends, and in return for getting your daily dose of gossip, you agree to let Zuckerberg sell access to your private information so he can get rich.
A pimp does the same thing with drug-addicted women. The Pimp supplies the drugs, and then sells access to the private parts of the woman to make money. The woman, because she is addicted, puts up with the fornication.
Facebook users are essentially prostitutes that Zuckerberg is pimping. Zuckerberg provides the drug of gossip, which keeps all the women and girlie men dependent on Facebook. And then Zuckerberg sells access to them. A tried and tested business model, ... but Zuckerberg's pimping is legal.
....out "their" for everyone to laugh at...." Nice use of the English there dude.

"To you, I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens!"
According to Gallup, only 14 percent of Americans approve of the way Congress is handling its job. Does the problem lie within the issues or ...
Think about it: your house is on fire, what do you take? You experience a tornado and when you return to the devastation; do you ...
Would you say, He is kind, gentle, loving, forgiving, full of grace?"
My brothers and sisters, what good is it if people say they have faith but do nothing to show it? Claiming to have faith can ...
Page 1 of 1
Last week, we looked at the story of Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1-10) and heard Jesus tell that sinful tax collector "Today, salvation has come to this house."
Change is inevitable.
There are certain "todays" that matter more than others.
The Bible uses a bunch of stories to tell us why Jesus came.
Water management is an ongoing challenge in Georgia.
1 Peter 3:15b-16 "And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. Keep your conscience clear. Then if people speak against you, they will be ashamed when they see what a good life you live because you belong to Christ."
Last week we wrestled with the question of how we know if our faith is strong. We empathized with those disciples on the road to Emmaus on Easter Sunday evening (Luke 24:13-35) shaken to their very core, doubting everything they thought they believed. But then Jesus came along and showed them who he was.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of King James of England authorizing the translation of the Bible commonly known as the King James Version. He commissioned six committees (42 men, no women) to come up with a common translation of the Bible that would be the standard text of the realm. Their work began in 1604 and was completed in 1611.
So how long did your Easter high last? Do you know what I'm talking about - that rush of spirituality that just seems to be in the air around Easter - with all the special music and the attention to religion given - even on TV? It all comes together to get the Christian's heart burning with excitement, with love, with joy and hope.
Every year, Easter is such a high, singing hymns celebrating the victory Jesus has won for us. I pray you had a chance to get to church and enjoy the excitement of joining with others celebrating the gift of life we've been given.
I am Sue's husband. I am David's father, and Dorothy's son. I am Allen Memorial's pastor and Dan's friend.
I remember a tree house that my older brother and his friends once built overlooking the creek near our elementary school.
Last week, we noticed the difference between the soldiers (Jesus' enemies) and the women (Jesus' friends) at the tomb that first Easter Sunday morning. The soldiers fainted in fear. The women listened to God's word and found joy. Here's Matthew 28:5: "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay."
A great sigh of relief swept through our nation on Sunday night as President Barack Obama announced that Osama bin Laden had been found and killed in a covert military raid.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt said that "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Yeah right. Try telling that to the man being mauled by a bear, or the woman about to be hit by a car, or anyone facing a life-threatening danger. Just telling them they don't have to fear it doesn't quite do the job.

Natural Skin Care
Every time you take a shower, wash your face or brush your teeth, you may be exposing yourself toxic chemicals, many of which have been found to be harmful or carcinogenic. The lathering agents in these products are harsh detergents and can strip your skin of its essential moisture. Furthermore, everything that you put on your skin absorbs into the bloodstream and thus can contribute to health problems.
Now you can get truly healthy skin with pure ingredients that are actually beneficial for your entire body. They penetrate deep down and nourish the skin instead of just sitting on the surface and only giving you the appearance of healthy skin.

Henry "Hank" Huckaby, chancellor of the University System of Georgia, updated the local business community, Thursday, on the state of higher education in Georgia –– as he sees it.
Huckaby spoke during the Clayton County Chamber of Commerce's "SunTrust Early Bird Breakfast," held at Clayton State University, in Morrow.
Before giving his assessment, however, he lightened the mood with a jovial jab at former Clayton State University president, Harry Downs, recalling the time when he was offered a job by Downs as the first director of admissions and registration at the school.
Huckaby said he was unable to negotiate a higher salary with Downs, and as a result, declined the job offer. "Those of you who know Harry Downs know he is very parsimonious with the money," he said, to which the members of the business community erupted in laughter.
He then told the audience he was proud to note that two schools in the University System of Georgia are ranked among the "Top 25" universities in the country: Georgia Tech, at number 7, and the University of Georgia, 23rd.
He said that, after completing his 10th college campus visit, recently, he noticed three things that need serious attention: "Performance, partnership, and advocacy."
One of his biggest concerns, he said, is that he believes a lot of emphasis is being placed on getting students admitted to college, but not enough is being done to keep them there to complete their education.
There is a new climate when it comes to education, he said, and some of that is driven by the distressed economy. It is affecting student performance, he said, and what they will have to offer to society and industry, because more of them are not completing their degrees or certificate programs while in college.
"In the next 10 years, the jobs will require individuals who have completed college or have some form of a college degree," said Huckaby. Right now, he said, individuals meeting that criteria in Georgia make up only 34 percent of the eligible population, which is only about half as many as it should be.
"We have a heck of a gap to try to fill over the next 10 years," he said. "It's going to take all of us to work together [to fill that gap.]"
Tim Hynes, president of Clayton State University, agreed with Huckaby and said, "We must do a better job in helping all of our students succeed."
In an effort to help students who are not completing their college education, Huckaby said the university system will introduce a program called, "To Complete College America," which is sponsored by a number of foundations throughout the country, and should give schools and students additional tools.
He added that Gov. Nathan Deal is in the beginning stages of revising the funding formula for the university system, to take into account student-success measures that will be based on student performance.
"The governor wants to have that in place, so it will affect the budget for the [2014 school year]," he said. The new revision to the funding formula will mean that colleges will have to "do a better job in supporting students, and ensure they are completing their programs and getting their degrees."
As far as students completing their college degrees or certificate programs at Clayton State University, Hynes said the school is on the right track. And because of the quality of education it offers, enrollment has increased.
"[This is due to] transfer students coming back to Clayton State to finish their degrees, and an increase in retention rates," he said.
