Students use wood, wax paper and oil to investigate the importance of lubrication between materials and to understand the concept of friction. Using wax paper and oil placed between pieces of wood, the function of lubricants between materials is illustrated. Students extend their understanding of friction to bones and joints in the skeletal system and become aware of what engineers can do to help reduce friction in the human body as well as in machines.
Engineering Connection
Educational Standards
Each TeachEngineering lesson or activity is correlated to one or more K-12 science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) educational standards.
All 100,000+ K-12 STEM standards covered in TeachEngineering are collected, maintained and packaged by the Achievement Standard Network (ASN), a project of JES & Co. (www.jesandco.org).
In the ASN, standards are hierarchically structured: first by source; e.g., by state; within source by type; e.g., science or mathematics; within type by subtype, then by grade, etc.

Learning Objectives
- Define and describe friction in everyday life.
- Relate friction to bones and joints in the human body.
- Explain what the human body and engineers do to reduce friction.
- Describe how the astronauts learn to work without friction in outer space.
Materials List
- 1 wood block (small size)
- 1 wood board (at least longer than the wood block)
- 2-3 paper towels
- 1 square of waxed paper (enough to cover each of the wooden block and board)
- 2 copies of the Joint Worksheet
- Pictures of human joints
- Vegetable cooking oil
- Cellophane tape
- Scissors
|A joint in which a ball moves within a socket (such as in the hip).
|A usually translucent somewhat elastic tissue.
|The force that resists relative motion between two bodies in contact.
|A joint that only allows motion in one plane.
|A condition where the cartilage in joints wears away and allows bone to rub against bone, causing friction and, oftentimes, pain.
|A special floor that NASA uses to help astronauts learn how to work without friction; similar concept as an air hockey table.
|A joint where the opposing surfaces are nearly planes; one that allows sliding or gliding motion.
|A lubricating fluid secreted by your body.
Before the Activity
- Gather all necessary materials.
- Obtain pictures of human joints from the library or internet (http://ovrt.nist.gov/projects/vrml/h-anim/jointInfo.html).
With the Students
- Discuss the following different kinds of joints and location in the body.
- Ball and socket joint: located in the hip and shoulder; connection between ball-shaped and cup-shaped bones. The ball can twist in many directions and is very flexible.
- Hinge joint: found in the elbow and knee; bones fit together so that movement in only one plane is possible. This is the least flexible joint.
- Sliding joint: located in the feet and hands; flat surfaces of bones slide over each other rather than rotating about an axis.
- Examine pictures of joints from library or internet resources. Have students draw an example of each joint on their Joint Worksheet.
- Have students rank the joints in terms of flexibility. Use " < " to show increasing flexibility (i.e., Hinge < Sliding < Ball and socket) or " > " to show decreasing flexibility (i.e., Ball and socket > Sliding > Hinge).
- Students should rub the wood block along the wood board. The students will feel friction. Define friction to the students as a force that resists motion.
- Ask students to give different examples of friction and list their responses on the board. (Possible answers: socks against carpet, brakes on the car, skateboard on pavement/concrete, tires on the road, etc.) Explain that joints would have friction if they rubbed against each other. Ask the students if they know what osteoarthritis is, and then explain how a person develops osteoarthritis. (Answer: Their cartilage wears away, and bone rubs against bone.)
- So how is friction reduced? Engineers use oil to create a barrier between two surfaces to reduce friction. The body uses cartilage and a fluid, called synovial fluid, to reduce friction in joints.
- Have the students wrap both wood surfaces with waxed paper and tape it down. Then have the students rub the surfaces together. What happens? (Answer: The wood slides more easily, friction is reduced.) The waxed paper acts like cartilage.
- Now add a little cooking oil to the waxed paper on the wood board (remind students to be careful, as the paper is slick and the oil will run very easily). Have the students rub the block along the board again. What happened? (Answer: Friction is reduced even further.) This represents the synovial fluid.
- Discuss with students how friction can wear down bones and joints over time. What could engineers do to help reduce friction in artificial limbs? (Answer: Engineers could develop fluids and surfaces to help reduce the friction in artificial bones and joints.)
- Engineers who work for NASA are figuring out the best ways to help the astronauts have healthy bones and joints while they travel in space. Have the students brainstorm ways to help astronauts move around in a frictionless environment.
Troubleshooting Tips
Pre-Activity Assessment
- Have students push on a heavy object (such as the teacher's desk). Ask students what is balancing the force they exert on the desk. (Answer: Friction force balances the force they put on the desk.)
- Ask students what will happen if the force they exert on the desk becomes unbalanced with the friction force between the desk and the floor. (Answer: The desk will start moving.)
- Ask students to try to define friction. (Answer: The force that resists relative motion between two bodies in contact.) Have them give words that would describe friction. Write these words on the board. Work through the discussion with them until the class comes up with a good definition.
- Ask students if friction is a good thing or a bad thing; discuss as a class. (Answer: It is both good and bad! It is great for slowing things down, but it can also cause wear and tear in our bodies and in machines.)
- As a class, brainstorm ideas to reduce friction between the desk and the floor. Have students plan a way to reduce this friction. (One possible solution: Pour cooking oil on the floor beneath the desk.)
Activity Embedded Assessment
Post-Activity Assessment
- Vocabulary terms to use: friction, synovial fluid, hinge joint, ball and socket joint, sliding joint, cartilage, osteoarthritis, PABF, lubrication.
- Ask students to predict what would happen if the force they exert on the desk and the friction forces become unbalanced by reducing the friction. (Answer: The desk will begin to slide.)
Activity Extensions
Activity Scaling
- For older students, discuss how friction over time affects the maintenance costs associated with a machine. (For example, friction on car tires wears down their treads, and they eventually need to be replaced.)
- For younger students, discuss friction as the rubbing of two objects. Have them complete the activity and discuss how friction in bones could be bad for the skeletal system.

To the Editor. —
In a recent letter to The Journal (237:960, 1977) Stephen Gelfand, MD, of Fullerton, Calif, described two brothers with Reiter's syndrome (RS). He could find only two reports of family members with RS in the literature. We would like to mention two additional families with RS observed by us and bring attention to an exhaustive review of familial clustering reported in 1971 by Dr Armin Good, MD,1 who cites ten reports including the two noted by Dr Gelfand. Family members with RS including ours are shown in the following table:The HLA-B27 was present in all five of our patients, as it was in the two reported by Dr Gelfand. Data on this genetic marker in RS were not available before 1973. Clearly, testing for the HLA-B27 will facilitate the diagnosis of RS in atypical cases and thereby promote further recognition of familial clustering.

Burger King's CEO Apologizes to Farmworkers
A roundup of other news, both good and bad, that you probably haven't heard.
The News You Don't Get
Speaking of the little-known Coalition of Immokalee Workers, you're not likely to get a good picture of the state of the world right now from the mainstream media (which is why alternative media like TomDispatch.com matter so much). Mainstream outlets don't cover a lot of what we might consider the good news and they don't necessarily shed much light on the bad news, even when they notice it.
The Casey Anthony trial got infinitely more coverage in Florida than that state's refusal to accept $50 million from the federal government to prevent child abuse. Sometimes it seems that the more you read and watch the MSM, the less you know. They don't add up the details to give you the big picture, and they often do a remarkably good job of distracting you from the issues that matter and the real machinations of power.
They are Goliath, not David, and their reporting on David's victories (and Goliath's failures and weaknesses) will never be particularly satisfactory. They are definitely not interested in popular power, except when it's a color revolution far away.
And don't forget to factor in media attention deficit disorder, whereby a terrible story will just sort of peter out because something hotter comes along. The reporters go home, and the readers are left hanging. In Japan this spring, news of the nuclear power plant crisis eclipsed news of the hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and there just haven't been many updates. Heard anything about the BP spill in the Gulf lately? It's not over either. The biggest fire in New Mexico's history—more than 160 square miles—has slipped from national coverage amid other weather disasters, and yet it's still burning as I write.
The left-wing media is guilty of this too. You probably don't even remember the last time you heard about East Timor. The mainstream media never spent inordinate amounts of time or space on it, but it was a big story on the left throughout the 1990s.
East Timor was then a war-ravaged, colonized corner of the Indonesian empire and it was in the news because of the way the Indonesian government had invaded and brutalized it from 1975 to 1999. Since its liberation in 2002, however, hardly anyone says anything about the democratic republic of East Timor. There are evidently other things that require our attention so much more.
When it stopped being one of the world's most appalling tragedies, it fell off the media map. It got better, but few noticed. You can think of journalists and political analysts as doctors who treat the sick and not the well, but who forget that sickness is not therefore and inevitably the ubiquitous human condition.
You have to learn to tell the story yourself. For example, some weeks ago, the New York Times led the global media with a story suggesting that the sexual-assault-on-a-maid-in-a-New-York-hotel case against (now former) International Monetary Fund (IMF) director Dominique Strauss-Kahn was likely to be dropped. Actually, that turned out to be an overstatement. It hasn't been, and there are as yet no indications that it will be.
If you accepted the Times interpretation, however, the prosecution, and maybe feminism and justice were already defeated. Tell the story a different way, however, and you might react differently as well: a man with, apparently, a long track record of barbaric behavior was outed and lost his (colossal) power as a result.
After all, Strauss-Kahn resigned from the IMF. And recently another alleged victim of his sexual violence stepped forward saying, "I want to be heard because perhaps, finally, there's a chance I will be listened to." She was not alone. Thanks to what happened in New York, sexual politics in France changed, with assault and harassment charges suddenly on the rise now that women think they might have a chance of being listened to.
In the meantime, the dubious doings of the IMF, an organization that assaults whole nations economically, were further exposed. Think of the IMF as the global version of an inner-city lending or furniture-selling racket that lures in the desperate—people who need a small loan, poor countries that need a bailout—and bleeds them for years, bending them to its will.
Nor has it been a good year for the men who are accustomed to ruling the world, whether via a global string of tabloids, the IMF, or by holding dictatorial power in any of a string of Arab states. They are being held accountable in ways they clearly never anticipated. You can add the former and present tyrants of Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, Yemen, and a few other countries to the list of men whom the wheel of fortune has knocked down or rocked lately, and you know that the rulers of countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are scared.
And here's a hopeful story that didn't get a lot of play: rebellious Egyptians prevented their interim government from taking an IMF loan. Years earlier, Argentina had freed itself from the IMF and its imposition of economic measures that favor international corporations (while immiserating ordinary citizens), thanks to loans from oil-rich Venezuela. Freedom from the IMF, the World Bank, and the United States is, in fact, part of the remarkable achievement of Latin America in the past decade—and part of what you probably haven't read much about.
It's nice that the Arab Spring continues to get attention into the summer of its discontent, but hardly anyone adds up the amazing developments in South America over the past dozen years: a very successful revolution in slo-mo in which even Peru elected a progressive this summer. And yet the elected officials—including Brazil's first woman president, a former left-wing insurgent, political prisoner, and torture victim—are just the tip of the iceberg. Indigenous resurgences, growing popular environmental and human rights movements, reborn civil societies, and a new language of political possibility matter more.
Climate of Resistance
You probably also haven't heard much, if anything, about the sixty-one First Nations—as Canadians call them; we'd call them sovereign tribes—that have signed on to oppose building a tar-sands pipeline across western Canada. And speaking of climate change, you might not know that environmental activists in the US have prevented more than 100 coal-fired power plants from being built here, a signal victory when it comes to keeping more greenhouse gasses out of the atmosphere, and so a signal victory for the climate movement.
If you were just reading your local newspaper or watching the TV news, you also might not know that a potentially massive action to protest the possibility of President Obama approving a new tar-sands pipeline that would stretch from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico is taking place in Washington this August. Nor might you realize that antinuclear activists have been successful in preventing any new nuclear power plants from being completed in this country since the 1970s—by raising public awareness and safety standards high enough to make them unprofitable. Of course, they would always have been unprofitable if the private profiteers who build them had to pay for insurance and radioactive waste disposal (costs that you, dear taxpayer, are expected to pick up for them).
Mostly the news on climate change, when attention is paid, focuses on the fact that it's here in terrifying form: heat waves, gigantic forest fires, torrential floods, record tornadoes, massive droughts, the increasingly usual faces of the apocalypse. By the way, 223 heat records were just broken in the summer heat wave that has gripped North America, and that number is still rising.
What's ignored is that we could do something about it, that people are doing something about it. Australia, for instance, just passed a stiff carbon tax, and while some climate activists don't consider that a particularly constructive way to go, it is a case of a large nation trying to take a serious step to address a truly threatening problem.
More importantly, a host of small and not-so-small nongovernmental organizations across the world are doing a host of things about it. Speaking of surprises, recently Mayor Bloomberg of New York gave $50 million to the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign, about the biggest and most unexpected contribution to the climate-change campaign in this country.
Another World Is Here
It's hard for me not to get distracted by victories that matter. There are not nearly enough of them and they're not on the scale I... well, hope for, but they are evidence of what's possible. Sometimes they're tiny. There was a traffic accident the other day in my hometown, and the local newspaper said that the doctor who was killed was married with children. A day or two later, a bigger feature made it clear that the deceased man had left behind a husband as well as two children, and I was pleased to see that, amid a private tragedy, what was once extraordinary is now ordinary. Victory sometimes seems so quotidian that you have to look twice to notice it. And if you're not careful, you'll forget what heroic toil over so many decades transformed the world, making the impossible become ordinary.
Think of hope as something that requires care and feeding. You feed it by finding news sources that give you information about alternative movements, overseas developments, and new possibilities. You feed it by choosing companions who are neither apolitical nor defeatist. (Good place to find them: the climate movement.) Or you feed it by feeding your friends who do feel defeated or as if nothing they could do might matter. You feed it with a surly insurrectionary attitude: if you're tempted to feel powerless and passive, remember that the bogeyman we call "they" wants you to feel that way. And then don't.
Certainly, you feed hope by being aware of the big picture that the news doesn't give you. For example, look at the past dozen years when it comes to putting a halt to or undermining free-trade agreements and organizations, and educating the public about how the innocuous-sounding term "free trade" means sabotaging local, regional, or even national control over labor, environmental, health, and economic conditions. Free-trade agreements free up corporations from regulations and laws, so that nothing impedes their profits.
Successes against "free trade" are, by now, pervasive and generally too subtle for many people to notice. In 1999, five years after the Clinton administration brought us the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), to oppose corporate globalization was to be considered, at best, on the radical fringe and at worst (in the words of super-rich New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman), part of a "Noah's ark of flat-earth advocates, protectionist trade unions, and yuppies looking for their 1960s fix." By 2008, however, free-trade agreements were so unpopular that Hillary Clinton felt obliged to lie during her presidential race, claiming she had always been against NAFTA.
In those same 1990s, the World Trade Organization was gearing up to run the world for the sake of the corporations—before, that is, it hit the first round of a buzz saw of protest in Seattle in 1999. By 2003, it was clearly an organization in trouble and never became the powerhouse it was planned to be.
The Free Trade Area of the Americas that was supposed to put the whole hemisphere in corporate harness was stillborn, thanks to the amazing anti-corporate-globalization and anti-Washington-consensus mentalities existing in many Latin American nations (and governments as well). And in these years, the IMF and the World Bank became far more widely known, feared, and loathed, thanks to activists on the streets and in the media who made their exploitative natures visible.
In 2011, we live in a different world. The corporations still have way too much power and influence. But activists have undermined the institutions by which they sought to increase that power and the facts about their unholy penetration into policymaking have become a lot clearer and more widely known. That is at least a good foundation which sets us up to get to work on the big fight between profit and humanity (in part via revolts against corporate personhood—the endowing of corporations with citizens' rights—across the country).
I don't love the old anti-globalization movement slogan "another world is possible," simply because that world has always been here—in acts of altruism, generosity, and democracy; in organizations, movements, and communities that embody the best of what humanity has to offer; in what's still so valuable in older ways of being that are not yet lost; in the methods and the lives of groups ranging from small farmers to indigenous hunters and gatherers. We just need to be better at seeing what is already magnificent and heroic, nearby and far away, and know that alternatives are already here waiting, like so many invitations, to be taken up.
That's certainly a foundation that hope can build on, but don't think that's hope. Hope lies in the future. Look at what's already here. If 61 native nations oppose a tar-sands pipeline, it's because they've survived the last 519 years of Euro-invasive attempts to eliminate their rights, their identities, and sometimes their lives. They're still here. So are the Immokalee workers. And the feminists. And the climate-change activists. And Nelson Mandela. So are you. Do something hopeful about it, just for the hell of it. There's no reason not to.
Rebecca Solnit's most recent hopes were realized: she got through an entire essay without using the words "Obama" or "military." On the hope beat for TomDispatch since 2003, her first round turned into the book Hope in the Dark. Right now she's hoping to get arrested in D.C. with 350.org over that tar-sands pipeline and hoping you'll join her.

Jacob Cass is Caw in the Road to WrestleMania mode of WWE video game WWE '12. He is currently in ARW & New-WWE on the Smackdown Brand.
Cass comes in a variety of diffrent looks (which does include Body and Face morphing diffrences within diffrent leagues) due to Cass being a CAW that is needed to be made within the Road to Wrestlemania mode of WWE'12. This also means information for Jacob Cass (such as Weight, Height, Date of Birth, Where his from, etc) will differ too. Because of the flexibility involved with the character, each Jacob Cass is to be considered a completely different person unless stated otherwise; even if multiple feds happen to use the same design for the character.
Vivianverse LeaguesEdit
New-WWE RawEdit
He debuted on New-WWE Superstars, defeating Jacob Marley . On Episode 200 of New-WWE Raw, Cass won a Six Man Over The Top Rope Battle Royal also featuring The Miz, John Cena, Dorf Liggleton, CM Punk, and Alberto Del Rio to earn a shot at the WWE Championship at New-WWE Backlash 6. On Episode 201 of New-WWE Raw, Cass teamed with John Cena taking on Alberto Del Rio and The Miz in a losing effort.
He is set to make a guest appearance to compete for the New-NAW Hardcore Championship in a 30 Man Battle Royal at New-NAW The Final Chapter.

Getting older but don't plan to retire
Thanks, You are welcome, Apis
Hope it will be helpful for others
These are just thing I have observed and remembered in my beekeeping experience.
If there was such of bee as moon beam
Most flowers are in sink with the day light, the rise and setting of the sun. And temperature.
I set bees in on 50 acres of yellow neck squash in mid June....
Wintered Mini Nuc feeding on dry sugar placed on top just above cluster notice the condensation, this enables bees to take up the sugar also helps with keeping the nuc a little dryer.
Marshmasterpat-I have used 1- cup bees in the bee works mini nuc it works but a 1 1\2 cups I liked better.
On the 4 frame 1/2 length medium.
I use 3 cups bees.
I will shake bees and run them...
My first 1/2 length frame mn were 5 frames then I went to 4 frames I like them better because they set just perfect on a block and I can use a 1 piece top with out having any seams from using a 2...
Pete I for got to answer your questions about swarming.
I have a few swarm on me about 15 to 20 this past year and several of them were because it was about a week after pulling queens before I...
Hi Pete
I have over wintered mini nuc's in singles doubles and triples for the past 12 years or so.
Some bees do drown, from just 5 or 10 bees to maybe 40 or 50. I designed them to place...
I just winter bees in my mini nuc's
When the hair on the bee gets worn off they are all black underneath. That black bee looks old and I figure it's worn off its hair. If it were a truly black bee it would be a fuzzy look but black.
If the queen is still in the nuc.
Take your hive tool a knock off the capping on 1 frame of the drone brood that the workers had layer so they can clean out the combs make way for the queen to lay....
When a Drone hooks up to the queen
And is mating it only Last a few seconds
Something like 3 or 4 seconds it's over there is a pop as he disconnect an the drone falls.
Yes remilling top and bottom bars I buy the commercial frames from dadants
pol-line really like how they lay in 4 1/2 length medium depth frames
These were started and finished by a medium 4 frame half length Nuc free flying
if there is enough bees to cover the brood and stores to eat they will be fine
use a new built comb on plasticell that has not had any brood in them, and use a hive tool to scrape it down. think there is one on my u-tube
when I down load it, it shows the hive and labels on the left and at top left it has a security warning and it says ENABLE CONTENT CLICK IT
Instruction doc link
Her is a link to an microsoft Access chart that i put to gather, for those who might want to keep record of raising queens and grafting. You will need Microsoft Access to open this. your computer...
They will go on mating flight from 5-7 days from hatching if weather permits, then in 3 to 4 days she starts to lay after being mated, have seen them laying as early as 9 day's after Hatching to 14...
To me this is a beautiful sight to see
I had more swarms go into hives with old dark brood combs.
Never have had one go into one with foundation.
I would get some 5 frame deep nuc boxes put a couple of empty dark brood combs in them...

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

Coverage includes topics such as the history of water engineering, basic concepts of computation and design, principles of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, open channel flow, unit hydrographs, and rainfall, runoff, and routing. Up-to-date, clearly solved examples are included throughout the book to help you understand how what you are learning applies in the real-world.

A Wretch Like MeI believe everyone is here for a reason also. I have a story about Christ and the bible, more a life story so far. I was raised in a church going family and believed in God because it made sense to me that there was a creator behind creation/ However, I never chose to follow Jesus or made it a goal to actually get to know God very much. In fact I remember when I was very young in church thinking, "I might worry about God when I am getting close to death." Boy did that show how ignorant and foolish I was.
Well I lived a pretty good life as a kid. I went to school and did very well in it getting high honors and raced BMX until about age 13. Around that age, before I got really bad, I went on a Christian trip to an event called "Gold Rush" where at the end they had a call to the cross. They invited people to accept Jesus and write their name on a piece of paper and nail it to the cross. In my heart I wanted to go so badly. I felt the call and wanted to go but for some reason I didn't. Maybe I was too hardened or scared.
Around then is when I stopped racing BMX and my life took a turn for the worse. I became reclusive and addicted to online gaming and por-n. My taste in music turned to songs that were very evil and satanic. I started cursing at my parents and becoming a terrible person in general. I became obsessed with online gaming and would stay up all night and eventually I needed glasses because of this. I eventually got involved in a rock band and start smoking marijuana occasionally.
I eventually started getting into Buddhism and meditation, in a way I was very gradually coming back to at least a sense of spirituality. The Buddhism and meditation wrecked my mind though because I started thinking I could levitate things like the stories you hear. I would meditate 7 hours or more and in general became overly emotional and I believe I allowed negative forces to prey upon me in that state. I had no clue what I was getting into after all. I started listening to "A Perfect Circle's" album called "E-motive" and this made me realize how hardened I had become and how much love I lacked for people and I really started caring for people.
I eventually was starting to come around but had not yet fully accepted Jesus as my Lord and savior. Also, when I smoked the marijuana I always had bad trips and sensations and the delusions I started having came shortly after.
One day my father took me on a trip to a college since I was around 17 or 18 to scout them out. I started thinking the clouds were signs from God in them and there was a major spiritual war going on. There certainly was a war for my heart at least. When we were at the college I was filled with paranoid and psychotic ideas. For example I thought that a woman was there who said to "Try all the sweets" was a messenger sent to tempt me into gluttony.
I then started to see and hear things and deteriorate mentally. I saw demons and began vomiting because I thought that was how they came out. I stopped eating, drinking, sleeping, and ran away from home to churches to be "exorcised" because I thought I was demon possessed. Looking back now I can see that it may have been likely there were very evil forces at work on me and that smoking and meditation warped my mind along with the sinful life I had led.
Eventually I was in the Carolina's visiting my uncle with my sister and mother. She received a call that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. Later on we eventually went to a church where the minister had a call to the altar if we needed prayer. My grandma and I and my family all went to the altar and I broke down crying because I thought my mother was going to die. I felt like it was my fault she got cancer because of all the stress I caused her the way I lived. I still believe that I did cause it to be honest because stress can make disease we are prone to come out.
I started my journey back to God but yet my mind and body were ill from a life of sin which had formed a illness called "schizophrenia" which includes hallucinations, delusions, hearing things, and many other very bad things. It came to the point where I was laying in the bath tub one night in my own vomit, urine, and feces (sorry for the graphics but it's what happened) where I thought I was doomed to hell and I was out of my mind. I screamed "JESUS SAVE ME!". Shortly afterward my father came down to see what was happening and he cleaned me up and had me eat and drink since I wasn't for days. I was 50 pounds underweight for my height from all the not eating or drinking for weeks on and off. I thought I had to fast to cleanse myself from demons.
Well, not too long after the tub incident I was brought into a mental health crisis unit where they interrogated me and injected me with medicine against my will. It was the scariest experience of my entire life and I wouldn't wish it on the most evil person to ever live. I woke up 2 days later in the mental hospital where I felt terrible. I was starving and went to the kitchen to get food. Ironically, one of the first people I met there was a Wiccan. I told her Jesus loved her and we talked and then she gave me a hug.
Not too long after that I was laying in the hospital bed at night when something very different happened than the hellish experience that had occurred earlier. I was laying in bed crying and said a prayer to the effect of "Father in heaven I am so sorry for the horrible life I lived that caused me to end up like this. I am so sorry for the way I have lived and I never want to be like that again. I never want to sin again. I am so sorry." Then I just wept and wept. Not long after that Jesus appeared in a white robe at the end of my bed and he touched my foot. He touched my foot and I felt the sin leave my body like a poison. A tiny bright flame appeared in the center of my chest and that was the night I became born again.
There are many other interesting things that happened after that even around may 18, 2005 but It would take hundreds of pages in a book to fill my life before and after Christ. Since I became born again life has not been easy. My physical mind and body have gone through the ringer with over 20+ or more medicines for my illness and stomach illnesses caused by the meds. I have had immense sorrow and pain at times from the suffering. I was hospitalized 7 more times after than one in 2005 but something was different. I had the Lord with me.
My life has not been roses since I accepted Christ as my savior. In fact it has been the very opposite but I am so glad I know him. I can say with 1000% honesty he never has failed me. I am still alive and he has done so many miraculous things in my life that I could probably fill books and books with them. Life may be hard but God is good and I can honesty say I am glad to have went through the hard times because they build character and hope and perseverance.
That is my story in a nut shell. I know my Father looks after me and he will never fail me. He longs for all to know him deeply as a Father and that is why he sent his Son Jesus to bear our sin and shame on the cross and to arise to give us a hope that life never ends. Love triumphs over death ultimately. ~May the Father bless you in the Son, through the Holy Spirit. Amen
I just want to say hearing your testimony blessed me. I am going through a lot of similar things as far as mental illness is concerned. It truly is an ongoing battle. I've had a truly difficult life but I know that God loves me and He has a plan for my life. It is hard for me too to read the Bible sometimes because the voices in my head try to distort the Word but I know that it's just a trick so I read the Bible anyway and pray that it will strengthen me even if I am having trouble understanding.
SuperPanda, I sooo understand suicidal ideation. I hate that demon! Arrr! I had layed in bed for days at a time (for years) being suicidal and thinking out the whole how I'm gonna kill myself, etc. But I would think of my two children, whose father is not in their lives, and they need me. That being said, I couldn't kill myself. I knew if I would, they would suffer greatly and I can do something to avoid their suffering,,,,, stay alive and get well.

But later I realized that if I did kill myself, I would lose out on so many blessings when in Heaven. God rewards us for doing the right thing. And suffering suicidal ideation and not acting on suicide, you will be rewarded for this. You are here on Earth because God put you here and you and people will cross your path or people who are in your life on a regular basis NEED YOUR WORDS and PRESENCE. You have a purpose. You are saying things to some people and planting seeds of God's Truth without even knowing it and this will affect them and they will affect others and the end result is ETERNAL SALVATION for many. YOU are NEEDED.

Okay, so there's the purpose. Now we have to get you stable so you don't get suicidal often at all and the suicidal ideation is a passing thought on a bad day and not a constant experience in your life.

You need to read my story: God Stopped Me From Committing Suicide

EP Link#comment_em<x>bed
Very interesting story. The more you know the Bible, the clearer and better sense you will make of your spiritual attacks/psychotic episodes.

It is difficult to improve on excellence, but the introduction of the Yonex EZONE Xi 100 tennis racquet does just that. An evolution of the former model, the EZONE Xi line stands for "Extra Isometric" which delivers an even more expanded sweet spot than the typical Yonex, offering increased forgiveness and power. The Quad Power System remains on the EZONE Xi 100 which takes advantage of variable thickness at the corners of the head for improved stiffness and repulsion. For improved comfort, NeoFade material, a dampening polymer, is present at the corner of the frame to reduce vibration. A completely new development, the SD (Shock Dampening) Grid is inserted into the handle of the frame between the tubes to limit shock from reaching the hand. A new throat shape, the new Oval Pressed Shaft (O.P.S) throat beam, introduces rounder corners for power while the wider face increases stability. Our testers found that this frame provided classic tweener performance with an even larger sweetspot and power without sacrificing control. One tester in particular enjoyed the high level of spin and power that he could get on ground strokes.
Note: This racquet comes with a cover

Power and More Power
User: Bruce Lockwood, TX
This is my first experience with Yonex, and I am very pleased. I went with the EZONE Xi based on the reviews which said it was arm/shoulder-friendly. It is. BUT, I never expected the power I am getting out of groundstrokes. I had to re-string the racquet with Technifibre NRG at 2 pounds above mid-point. This was purely a best-guess by me and my club pro. Well, it worked, and I am very happy. As long as I keep my head in the game and eyes on the ball to impact, miracles happen! Bruce Age:71 Level:3.5
Less is more!
User: Kelly Robbiano, AZ
I have been playing with this racquet for 3 weeks. I am a 4.0 player and play singles and doubles. I find that this racquet has a larger sweet spot and allow my slightly off center shots to be playable. When I hit with topspin, my results are pretty much the same as my old racquet. prince red mid-plus On my serves, volleys and sliced serve returns, my results are much crisper than they were with my old racquet. I find that i can produce great shots using less force. A really nice racquet. I have already purchased a second EZONE racquet.
great racket!
User: george best, nv
I sampled four rackets...wilson blade, prince warrior 100 and the warrior team, and this racket was the only one that felt good in all aspects of play. Volleys with ease, great on service, with good power and feel on ground strokes. I would highly recommend to any 3.0-4.0 player looking to advance their game.
Ezone xi excellent!
User: Ed Anderson , Tn
Switched from juice blx 100 due to elbow problems. Excellent frame...good feel, above average power, comfortable to hit with. Excellent tweener racket!

If you've got to sell military hardware, you could do worse than sell it the same time as the greatest regional unrest and uncertainty in recent history, thinks Kipp.
February 23, 2011 3:18 by Samuel Potter
Emiraje Systems, a joint venture between EADS Defence and Security from the UK and C4 Advanced Solutions, from little old Abu Dhabi snagged a contract to provide surveillance, intelligence and reconnaissance system for the UAE Armed Forces. The deal is a heeeew-aaaaage AED 2 billion (you have to say it like that when there's this much cash involved). Apparently the system will "federate, integrate, coordinate and maximize the combined efficiency of the UAE Armed Forces assets."
This one isn't confirmed, but is in the pipeline: Lockheed Martin says an agreement could be signed this Spring with the UAE for an anti-ballistic missile system (how cool does that sound?) worth as much as $7 billiion. We'll bet that buys a lot of anti-ballistic-ness.
Hundreds of millions of dirhams also headed to: Nexter System (from France) for technical support for LeClerc tanks, to International Golden Group (from the UAE) for weapons, ammo and GPS, and Bayanat Co from Abu Dhabi for a bunch of data type services, including mapping and such.
There's another joint venture on the cards, this one between Al Jaber and Diehl Defence who have bagged a contract to modernize and upgrade the UAE's vehicle fleet (military not taxi).
And a slightly older deal has emerged: Bin Jabr Group signed a joint venture deal with Tawazun HoldingTawazun Holding, according to Gulf News, for the development of their NIMR vehicles, which are off-road extreme utility military vehicles. The deal was signed in November, but was only made public this week.
That's just a taster. In fact, by the time you read this, Hans will probably have made another cheeky $200 million selling a rocket that could blow up your home town a hundred times over. We just can't keep up.
We're not a website that likes to stereotype, but we imagine that there was more than one Cuban cigar smoked this week by a middle aged business man in an expensive suit with several off shore bank accounts. This is going to be a good year to be in the killing game.

Please, please please please, make a pack of Loading Screens for Morrowind! It's not hard, you just save them as .png and drop to the right folder. The old ones are cool, but they only show original creature models, that are a bit old for my super-modded Morrowind. I'd love to see your works while loading my save
Interesting. But which screen resolution do you have?
And you just can use my works to do any loading screens you want.

Focus on the Family held a news conference in Chicago, where the American Library Association headquarters is located, to criticized the organization's promotion of "Banned Books Week." They stressed that this campaign is deceitful because no one is censoring books and that parents and teachers have a right to debate what children and adults should be reading. Ms. Clinton talked about her efforts to allow her child not to read "Goosebumps" books. close

This Funny Cat page came about after the Funny Dog page.
I thought that I better let cat lovers have a laugh as well.
I came across some cat definitions one day but didn't know exactly how to present them for your enjoyment. Should I make a cartoon out of each definition or just list them on a page?
I initially thought that I would do individual comics but quickly realized that it would take hours to construct them, so I've compromised (sort of).
I've made up one cartoon to introduce the sayings. (OK, so it wasn't much of a compromise, I basically wimped out of all the work!)
Anyway, here's the funny cat to introduce the "cat daffynitions":
Aquarium: interactive television for cats.
Cataclysm: any great upheaval in a cat's life.
Catatonic: a feline medicinal drink.
Caterpillar: a soft scratching post for a cat.
Cat Scan: to look for a new cat.
Dog: a cat's device for running practice.
Door: something a cat always wants to be on the other side of.
Energy: the element of vitality cats always have an oversupply of until you try to play with them.
Human: an automatic door opener for cats.
Impurrsonate: to act like the cat.
Purrade: an organized march of cats.
Purradise: the garden of cats.
Purramour: a cat lover.
Purranoia: the fear that your cat is up to something.
Purranormal: A really weird cat.
Purraphernalia: a cat's personal belongings.
Purrch: any favored feline napping spot.
Purrchase: anything bought for a cat.
Purrdy: how a southern person describes their cat (from Sharon)
Purrfume: the scent of an open can of tuna.
Purrgatory: a houseful of kittens.
Purrmission: a feline hunting expedition.
Purrpetual: everlasting feline love.
Purrplex: a house with two or more cats.
Purrson: a male kitten.
Purrsuit: the garment your shedding cat rubs against just as you are leaving home to go to an important meeting.
Purrverse: a poem about a wicked kitty.
Tuner: sonar-like device in cat food that causes cats to appear.
Yawn: a cat's honest opinion openly expressed.

Roberts' book of small-town life is as sweet as ginger cookies and as homey as raisin pie (recipes included). Readers will laugh and cry with the women lovingly portrayed in this heartwarming story that explores the joys of friendship and the power of good deeds.
Shop owners Emma, Sarah and Jamie love their little town, but it is growing too big, too fast. So they organize the "Have a Heart" campaign to ask everyone to commit one random act of kindness every day. Each woman performs her own daily generous deed, but with unexpected consequences. Emma may lose her shop, Sarah is lonelier than ever and Jamie is forced to face her deepest fears. But Emma and the others see their small kindnesses blossom as the little town rediscovers its heart, and each friend finds her own true love. (ST. MARTIN'S GRIFFIN, Oct., 352 pp., $13.99)

You're a brave man, anything I learned about connection data has gone way over my head...Actually It's one of the few things I can't do.
Anyway, I love the hack, keep going with it, and don't rush the beta. Nobody wants glitches in this game, it'd be too confusing to tell what was intentional or not :P
I cringe at things I've said here in the past years.

Anaheim City School District Superintendent Jose Banda has been chosen as the new chief for Seattle Public Schools.
Banda will head to the 47,000-student district in the Pacific Northwest July 1, pending the ratification of his contract this week by the Seattle School Board.
Banda, 55, has served as superintendent of the 19,000-student Anaheim City district for the past four years. During that time, student test scores in the district with a high concentration of low-income students and English learners have steadily increased. The district's Academic Performance Index grew from 682 in 2006 to 773 in 2011.
He also oversaw several school construction projects aimed at relieving overcrowding, including the opening of Ponderosa Elementary.
Banda received a call Sunday from Seattle's board President Michael DeBell offering him the job.
"We believe he is a strong fit for Seattle," DeBell said in a written statement.
Banda spent 13 years as a secondary administrator, including eight years as a high school principal before becoming the superintendent of the Planada School District from 2002 to 2005. Before Anaheim, Banda was the deputy superintendent at Oceanside Unified School District.
Officials in Anaheim City School District said the school board will soon begin discussing the process of replacing Banda. The school board is next scheduled to meet May 21.
