New Cyclocross Bikes and Gear From the Sea Otter Classic
2015 Felt F2x
1 / 13
Felt made significant updates to its high-end carbon F2x 'cross bike. Though the company manufactures the new bike using the same mold as the 2014 model, it changed the carbon layup to improve compliance over rough ground. More drastic: A thru-axle hub from the mountain-bike world replaces the traditional type to improve front-end stiffness, and it's paired with a thru-axle fork Felt claims is the lightest on the market. The bike is outfitted with a Shimano Ultegra Di2 drivetrain and 3T cockpit, and will retail for around $5,000.

Weekend Workshop with Gwen Bortner
May 17, 2014 - May 18, 2014
Event Navigation
The Windy City Knitting Guild is pleased to welcome Gwen Bortner for a weekend workshop.
Gwen Bortner is the author of Entrée to Entrelac and a popular teacher and designer. Her designs have been published in Knitter's Magazine, Creative Knitting, among others. She teaches knitting techniques at workshops and conferences across the country. Gwen lives in Le Grand, California. For more information visit her website 2sides2points.com.
Class 1: Knitting in Both Directions
Saturday, May 17, 2014, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (3 hours)
Class size: 20
Student Skill Level: Students should be very comfortable with both knitting and purling.
Workshop Description
Most of us knit in one direction, but what would happen if you could knit in EITHER direction? Bobbles would pop out faster, entrelac would be even more fun, edgings would be added more quickly, and your yarn would be less tangled. Some call it knitting back backwards, but regardless of the name, it is a great skill to have in your knitting arsenal. You can learn the basics to knitting (and purling) in "the other direction" regardless of the way you knit now! All it takes, as with most things, is a little bit of practice.
Class Activity: Students will gain insight on how to teach themselves to knit and purl backwards in the same manner that they knit and purl forward.
Supply List: 1 oz of smooth worsted weight yarn and appropriately sized needles.
Class 2: Entrelac Basics
Saturday, May 17, 2014, 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM (3 hours)
Class size: 20
Student Skill Level: Knitting basics, comfortable working on double pointed needles.
Workshop Description
Have you always wanted to learn entrelac but thought it would be too hard? Whether a beginner or advanced knitter this class is for you. During this class, each student will have the opportunity to knit a small project to gain hands-on experience in the entrelac technique. Participants will learn the seamless entrelac technique and basic entrelac construction techniques. A discussion of other project possibilities will also be included.
Class Activity: Students will create a small entrelac project to learn entrelac basics.
Supply List: 1 oz each of two different colors of worsted weight wool (non-machine washable, feltable) and 5.5 mm (US #9) set of 5 DPNs (wood or plastic), 6" – 8" long.
Homework: With one of the two colors cast on 36 sts onto DPNs divided evenly between 4 needles and join without twisting. Work 3 rounds of purl and leave on needles.
Class 3: Advanced Double Knitting
Sunday, May 18, 2014, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (3 hours)
Class size: 20
Student Skill Level: Must already be familiar with traditional two-color double knitting.
Workshop Description
Take your double knitting to a whole new level. If you have played with traditional two-color double knitting, you know there are limitations. Not everything looks correct when reversed. However, it is possible to create a double knit fabric with two different patterns. Learn the secrets of creating different patterns on each side of the work. Explore options for using two or three colors. Gain insights on creating your own double knit designs with different patterns on each side.
Class Activity: Students will create a swatch of double knitting with different patterns on each side.
Supply List: 25g each of a light and dark yarn in similar weight (DK or worsted recommended) and needles appropriate to yarn selected. Optional: a third contrasting yarn in the same weight.
Homework: Cast on 20 pairs of sts., Work in 4 stitch x 5 row checkerboard for 10 rows total., Work 2 rows of plain double knitting. Leave on needles.
Class 4: Brioche—The Basics and Beyond
Sunday, May 18, 2014, 1:30 PM – 4:30 PM (3 hours)
Class size: 20
Student Skill Level: Must be comfortable with yarnovers, manipulated stitches, and reading a pattern.
Workshop Description
Brioche is a category of stitches that is often overlooked by many knitters, but it has several characteristics that make it great for lots of projects. It is a great choice for scarves or blankets as it tends to lay flat and is attractive on both sides. Learn the basics of brioche, including the classic construction as well as alternative construction techniques while creating a sampler of several brioche patterns. Gain an understanding of this unique fabric that just might become one of your favorites.
Class Activity: Students will create a brioche sampler to gain insights and understanding of the technique.
Supply List: 1 oz each of 2 colors of DK to worsted weight yarn (wool recommended), circular or pair of DPN needles 1 size smaller than what would typically be used with the yarn.
Homework: None.

Everyone is trying to feel the love during Valentine's Day in the Modern Family, but life seems to be getting in the way. And if Jay and Gloria can't get some "alone time,"nobody else in the family will either. Oh and sassy Lily is making a return, too.
This episode was organized differently from any other Modern Family episode, because the extended family barely interacted at all. The only interaction was Lily showing up at the Pritchett house when Gloria and Jay were kissing and Jay calling Claire to make sure she was okay. Not a fan of that, but they still managed to nail their sense of humor.
We start with Claire sitting seductively at a bar, martini in hand. When Phil enters, a romantic evening is in the future, that is until he messes up the pickup line. When the two decide to cut their losses and head home, Claire ends up passed out on the floor. After a trip to the hospital, she's diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, a genetic disease that she inherited from her mother.
This brings out the rough and tough Claire we know and love. She's afraid to admit she is scared and doesn't want her family to be worried about her. The stubborn Claire won't ask for help, even when her kids think that she and Phil are still out and decide to have a party.
Yes, the Dunphy kids are throwing a party. Even Alex. And apparently it's a regular occurrence when the parents are out of the house! High school partying in an empty house? How original Modern Family.
After the six-week post labor waiting period, Gloria and Jay are ready to get down and dirty. But with Claire's recent hospital visit, she can't watch Joe (the nickname for baby Fulgencio) and Lily for the day as originally planned. When the old lovebirds finally get the two kids distracted, a baby-proofer knocks on the door to install gates and bumpers. This gate will eventually be torn down when the sexually frustrated Jay can't figure out the baby-proof handle to get upstairs to Gloria.
Throw Manny's distraction on top of this and we get emotions that we rarely see from Jay Pritchett; compassion and concern. Manny is invited by a secret admirer to a Valentine's day party and Jay is afraid that it is a set up to embarrass Manny. I think it was the directions for Manny to wear a hat with a feather that gave him this hunch. This makes Jay worry about Manny and then begin worrying about Claire's recent condition as well.
Mitch and Cam are really pretty random in this episode. In short, Cam accuses Mitch of not being fun, Mitch blacks out, steals the neighbors' Christmas decorations and dyes the cat pink. Oh and Cam told Dillon that he could live with them. They really don't have a problem with Dillon because he cleans everything, but when Lily gets back from Gloria's, she gets sassy with Dillon and kicks him to the curb.
I'm going to say that this episode was made to start a few new story lines. We're going to hear more about Claire's recent disease, Manny's relationships with girls and more about baby Joe Joe. And one can only hope that Lily stays as sassy as her daddies, it's just so stinkin' cute.
Don't work too hard at finding love on Valentine's day or you will end up without any love. You might also end up with a pink cat.
"It's just one of those things you have to say, like don't drink while you're pregnant!" –Claire Dunphy
"Did it hurt, when you fell from heaven?" –Phil Dunphy
"It's the one time of the year where the World tries to be as romantic as I am every day. Good luck World" –Manny Pritchett

Oscar Pistorius has entered a courtroom in South Africa for the start of his murder trial, walking past the mother of the woman he shot and killed a year ago.
The double-amputee Olympic athlete arrived in the courtroom at the high court in Pretoria wearing a dark gray suit and black tie. He sat and drank from a bottle of water.
Pistorius is charged with murder with premeditation in the shooting death of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in the pre-dawn hours of Valentine's Day last year.
Pistorius says he shot Steenkamp by accident, thinking she was an intruder inside his bathroom.
Steenkamp's mother, June, earlier entered the court dressed in black.

Lady Gaga knows her way around pop tune, but who knew the Fame Monster was so well-versed in hip-hop?
On ARTPOP, Gaga orchestrated "Jewels n' Drugs," an unlikely, but high-powered, rap throw-down with T.I., Twista and Too $hort. And T.I. has all the applause for the singer for making it happen.
"Shout out to Lady Gaga for calling us and trying to make that connection," T.I. said with Twista on "RapFix Live" Wednesday. "That was courageous and innovative on her behalf."
Twista and T.I. hadn't seen each other while recording for Gaga's November release, so Tip seized the moment on the "RFL" couch and commended his collaborator on a stand-out performance.
"When she decided to put the track together, she wanted to put a vibe of certain artists together to complement what she was doing," Twista said, recalling a phone conversation that he had with Gaga before recording his verse. "It was me and $hort at the time that was talking to her and she was just telling us, 'Man, you, T.I., $hort, I want y'all to be on this vibe, y'all to capture the essence of what I want to do on this song.'"
Twista did finally connect with the pop star when she performed with him and Too $hort at the iTunes Festival in London in September and he was blown away by the crowd's reaction to their collaboration.
"It was big, real big," he recalled. "She had her Monsters out there goin' crazy, they were charged up. Everybody was turned up, so I had a ball."
Unlike Twista, T.I. actually made it into the studio with Gaga, though he wouldn't reveal any of her recording habits.
"I can't say," he said. "Your secret is safe with me, Gaga."
"We had a good time. We really just went there to kick it. I didn't go there to do a record," Tip said, telling the story of how he just so happened to end up on the record after a chance meeting at the studio. "I was recording in a room down the hall and somebody came and got me and said, 'LG wants to holla at
"I just went there and did what I do," T.I. continued. "Just like that; took me a couple of minutes."

ACRL: Standards for Libraries in Higher Education approved by ACRL Board of Directors October 2011.
From the Intro: The Standards for Libraries in Higher Education are designed to guide academic libraries in advancing and sustaining their role as partners in educating students, achieving their institutions' missions, and positioning libraries as leaders in assessment and continuous improvement on their campuses. Libraries must demonstrate their value and document their contributions to overall institutional effectiveness and be prepared to address changes in higher education. These Standards were developed through study and consideration of new and emerging issues and trends in libraries, higher education, and accrediting practices.
These Standards differ from previous versions by articulating expectations for library contributions to institutional effectiveness. These Standards differ structurally by providing a comprehensive framework using an outcomes-based approach, with evidence collected in ways most appropriate for each institution.
Library Impact Data Project (based at the University of Huddersfield), for which Phase 1 was carried out last year and Phase 2 is continuing this year. The aim of Phase 1 was "to prove a statistically significant correlation between library usage and student attainment." This they did by taking data from 8 universities and showing a correlation between class of degree and both borrowing books and using electronic resources. As they emphasise, this is a correlation, and you cannot prove causality, but nevertheless it is a very useful piece of research. They also did some focus groups, and Phase 2 is exploring further; it "will further exploit the data, investigate possible causal aspects and disseminate findings from both phases". The project blog is at http://library.hud.ac.uk/blogs/projects/lidp/, with papers at http://library.hud.ac.uk/blogs/projects/lidp/articles-and-conference-papers/ and a data collection toolkit at http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/11571/
The NMC Horizon Report: 2012 Higher Education Edition was released mid-February and brings together the considered opinions of 47 writers, thinkers, technologists and futurists in higher education about the technologies emerging to impact society and education within 2, 4 and 6 years horizons. From mobile apps in one year or less (obvious to all by now) to the Internet of Things – smart objects with IP addresses communicating with other – within 6 years (more of a stretch to imagine), the Report stimulates strategic thought around harnessing potentially ubiquitous technology for educational outcomes.
The 2102 Report time-to-adoption horizons are:

McALESTER, Okla. (AP) - The Pittsburg County sheriff says a 12-year-old boy was fatally shot in the head with a pellet-gun by a friend who thought the gun wasn't loaded.
Sheriff Joel Kerns says Justin Ingle was shot with the high-powered gun Friday in McAlester. Ingle was flown to a Tulsa hospital where he died on Saturday.
Kerns said the boy's mother was in another room when the shooting happened. He said investigators believe it was accidental.

People photography: composition tips for shooting any portrait style
Direction of gaze
In the previous section, we mentioned that your subject's line of sight has a strong compositional impact, and it's just as powerful as real lines.
We tend to relate to other people using eye contact, and in a portrait shot, it's the first thing we look for. If the sitter is not looking at us but at something else, we follow the line of their gaze as if it was a giant neon arrow.
These virtual lines are so strong that if someone's looking at something outside the frame, as we have in the main shot above, the effect is multiplied to the extent that it dominates the whole structure of the photograph.
In Module eight, we suggest roughly tracing some of your favourite shots by hand, and then drawing in the lines of movement flowing in and around the image as you perceive them. In people photography, you can reserve the biggest, straightest line for the subject's gaze.
You need to allow for this when positioning your subjects in the frame. In order to achieve a visual balance, you should make space for them to look into.
The Rule of Thirds seems to have particular relevance here too, in that portraits seem to look more interesting and dynamic if the subject's eyes are located on a third, rather than being dead centre.
This idea of the direction of gaze applies outside conventional people photography. Even if the person in your photograph is actually looking away from the camera rather than at it, your natural reaction is to follow their eyes to see what it is they're looking at.
Take a look at the work of photojournalist Cartier-Bresson to see how subtly he uses this in his photography to turn everyday scenes into apparently perplexing, surreal and utterly absorbing images.
Eyes have a mesmerising effect. When they're looking at you, you can't help but look at them. When they're looking at something else, you want to see what they're looking at.
And when the thing they're looking at is outside of the frame, it creates tensions that, far from spoiling the shot, add a whole new dimension to it, when managed in the right way.
Like many rules of photo composition, this isn't something you can achieve with planning – by looking at printed photos and how they work, you will slowly absorb the ideas and use them without thinking.

Cooma Hospital has only received a total of five complaints over a four month period about the long waiting times in the emergency department - that's slightly more than one a month.
Analysing that statistic on a weekly basis, it is less than one quarter of a complaint per week - which is almost meaningless.
In fact, in statistical terms, Cooma Hospital is up there with the best - the National Emergency Access Targets measure emergency department performance with the target of 76 per cent of patients to be seen, treated and discharged (or admitted) within four hours.
Cooma is currently achieving 86 per cent, way above the national target.
But the number of complaints, at five over four months, has prompted Southern NSW Health to issue a public statement explaining the emergency waiting times at Cooma Hospital.
The organisation said that the more urgent your condition the sooner you will be seen.
"If someone in an even more urgent condition arrives, you will find yourself waiting that bit longer. Think twice about coming to the Emergency Department if you could wait to be treated by your family doctor."
The Triage Nurse, the first person a patient sees, is experienced in assessing your condition and will sort out the priority of your care soon after your arrival and may even commence treatment.
The Triage nurse allocates every patient a Triage category. There are five categories and every NSW Hospital uses these categories.
Category 1 Any condition that needs immediate medical treatment such as cardiac arrest resuscitation, serious wound.
Category 2 Patients who need to have treatment within 10 minutes and are categorised as having imminent life-threatening illnesses such as heart attack, stroke or difficulty in breathing.
Category 3 People who need to have treatment within 30 minutes, eg fractures, migraines or any condition that could potentially move to Category 2.
Category 4 People who can wait an hour eg foreign bodies in eye.
Category 5 Patients with minor injuries that could be seen by their local doctor.
Southern NSW Health said that emergency departments were open 24 hours.
"Cooma District Hospital doctors are on call round the clock either from their surgeries or from home. Emergency doctors and nurses are there to treat patients who could get worse if not treated quickly.
"It's quite good news if someone in a stretcher gets pushed ahead of you. It means they are in worse condition than you are," a spokesperson said.

Movie World Cup Fever is upon us, and we're celebrating by getting shin guard deep into a massive competition that honors the cinema of each country in the Cup. For our weekly foreign film coverage, check out Foreign Objects, but stay tuned to our Movie World Cup to decide who makes it through the vicious second round.
The first two rounds of competition were a great warm up, but the competition gets ugly now as the wins come harder. No contest in that round exemplifies that more than the battle between the French representative and the USA rep. Amelie defeated District 9 in a surprise victory, and it goes into its round against The Dark Knight with momentum and the status as a fanboy killer. It will still have an uphill battle, because the US representative is (unlike the real World Cup) picked to win it all.

The great ones often tend toward nearsightedness, locking into the same tunnel vision that lifted them to such heights.
Anderson Silva, by many accounts the greatest mixed martial artist of all time, has an eye on the big picture.
The 38-year-old Brazilian said he believes his "legacy is complete" during an interview last week with SiriusXM "Fight Club."
"In UFC, I break all the old records," Silva said. "I (held) the belt for seven years."
He certainly has a point. Silva holds the longest middleweight title reign in UFC history, with 16 consecutive wins and 10 title defenses. It was an unmatched run that finally ended at UFC 162 in July, when Chris Weidman became the first MMA fighter to knock out Silva.
A rematch has been set for Dec. 28 at UFC 168. Despite his first loss in the UFC, Silva remains a slight favorite heading into the second bout at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
But what if he loses to Weidman again? What, then, to make of Silva's legacy?
In the eyes of some, that legacy was sullied last month. Silva has long been known for his showmanship in the ring. While other fighters put their hands up, Silva keeps his at his sides, opting instead to bob and weave, taunting opponents with impromptu hand-jive routines before landing devastating, pinpoint strikes.
In most fights, he's simply on another level, which allows him to get away with the "clowning" that can play mind games with more straight-laced competitors. It's a brilliant strategy, really, one that has worked for Silva just about every time.
Thing is, when it doesn't work, it looks bad. After Weidman blasted Silva unconscious in July, the praise for the new champion paled next to the chorus that Silva had acted disrespectfully in the ring, finally getting what he deserved.
"When he's clowning like that, there's thousands of people wanting to punch him themselves," Weidman told MMAjunkie.com last week. "So for me to knock him out when he was clowning, I think it made a lot of people happy.
"People say that he's going to get pissed off, and it's going to be this whole new Anderson Silva," added Weidman, a former star wrestler who opened eyes with his standup against the Brazilian. "It's going to be easier."
Silva, meanwhile, did hint at a different approach to the rematch.
"The new Anderson is coming," he told SiriusXM.
But that Anderson, revamped or not, has clearly lost a bit of his mystique. All it took was a well-placed left hook from Weidman. Should the new champion land another, it could be two straight losses for Silva, along with even more questions about style overtaking substance with age.
Of course, Silva's track record cannot be discounted. He remains the favorite for the December rematch. Even another loss to Weidman wouldn't be enough to knock him out of the conversation about the greatest of all time.
Yet you can't help but wonder if Silva is looking a bit too far ahead. He already has overlooked Weidman once and paid for it.
"I have one more fight for Chris Weidman," Silva said. "It's part of my contract."
The remaining fights on Silva's 10-fight deal have been rumored to include "superfights" against Jon Jones and Georges St. Pierre. Those bouts are still possible, according to Silva, who dreams of facing Roy Jones Jr. in a boxing match and has no plans of hanging up the gloves anytime soon.
"My inspiration is Randy Couture, Dan Henderson ... these guys ... (in their) 40s," he said.
That's nice and all, the thought of the most entertaining MMA fighter of all time sticking around. But come December, if Silva doesn't lock into the singular focus that got him to where he is, he'll miss what's right in front of him. Again.

Speaking of the Vivica Fox brand (watch the revealing and fun 13-minute interview I posted of her yesterday HERE)...
Ms Fox has reportedly joined the cast of the Lifetime Network series, The Protector, in a major roles.
She will play a Captain Lisa Novak, said to be "the ex-wife of Miguel Ferrer's Lieutenant Felix Valdez. Her introduction in Episode 12 stirs things up at the precinct for Ally Walker's single mom/homicide detective Gloria and the rest of the team."
Stirs things up how? I dunno... I've actually never watched a single episode of The Protector. By the way, Tisha Campbell-Martin also co-stars in the series as a homicide detective, which, according to IMDB, "follows single mother, Gloria Shepherd, as she juggles her demanding personal and professional lives raising two children while working as a LAPD homicide detective."
The prime-time drama is still in its first season, airing Mondays at 10/9c.
Here's a video clip highlighting episode 1, with a decent dose of Tisha Campbell.

Scleritis is an inflammation of the sclera (the white outer wall of the eye).
Inflammation - sclera
Inflammation of the sclera is often linked to autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Sometimes the cause is unknown.
Scleritis occurs most often in people between the ages of 30 and 60. It is rare in children.
Symptoms of scleritis include:
A rare form of this disease causes no eye pain or redness.
Your health care provider will perform the following tests:
It is important for your provider to determine if you have scleritis or a less severe form of inflammation, such as episcleritis.
Treatments for scleritis may include:
If scleritis is caused by an underlying disease, treatment of that disease may be needed.
In most cases, the condition goes away with treatment. But it may come back.
The disorder causing scleritis may be serious. However, it may not be discovered the first time you have the problem. The outcome will depend on the specific disorder.
Complications may include:
Call your health care provider or ophthalmologist if you have symptoms of scleritis.
Most cases cannot be prevented.
People with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, may need to have regular check-ups with an ophthalmologist familiar with the condition.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
6:10-18 Spiritual strength and courage are needed for our spiritual warfare and suffering. Those who would prove themselves to have true grace, must aim at all grace; and put on the whole armour of God, which he prepares and bestows. The Christian armour is made to be worn; and there is no putting off our armour till we have done our warfare, and finished our course. The combat is not against human enemies, nor against our own corrupt nature only; we have to do with an enemy who has a thousand ways of beguiling unstable souls. The devils assault us in the things that belong to our souls, and labour to deface the heavenly image in our hearts. We must resolve by God's grace, not to yield to Satan. Resist him, and he will flee. If we give way, he will get ground. If we distrust either our cause, or our Leader, or our armour, we give him advantage. The different parts of the armour of heavy-armed soldiers, who had to sustain the fiercest assaults of the enemy, are here described. There is none for the back; nothing to defend those who turn back in the Christian warfare. Truth, or sincerity, is the girdle. This girds on all the other pieces of our armour, and is first mentioned. There can be no religion without sincerity. The righteousness of Christ, imputed to us, is a breastplate against the arrows of Divine wrath. The righteousness of Christ implanted in us, fortifies the heart against the attacks of Satan. Resolution must be as greaves, or armour to our legs; and to stand their ground or to march forward in rugged paths, the feet must be shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Motives to obedience, amidst trials, must be drawn from a clear knowledge of the gospel. Faith is all in all in an hour of temptation. Faith, as relying on unseen objects, receiving Christ and the benefits of redemption, and so deriving grace from him, is like a shield, a defence every way. The devil is the wicked one. Violent temptations, by which the soul is set on fire of hell, are darts Satan shoots at us. Also, hard thoughts of God, and as to ourselves. Faith applying the word of God and the grace of Christ, quenches the darts of temptation. Salvation must be our helmet. A good hope of salvation, a Scriptural expectation of victory, will purify the soul, and keep it from being defiled by Satan. To the Christian armed for defense in battle, the apostle recommends only one weapon of attack; but it is enough, the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. It subdues and mortifies evil desires and blasphemous thoughts as they rise within; and answers unbelief and error as they assault from without. A single text, well understood, and rightly applied, at once destroys a temptation or an objection, and subdues the most formidable adversary. Prayer must fasten all the other parts of our Christian armour. There are other duties of religion, and of our stations in the world, but we must keep up times of prayer. Though set and solemn prayer may not be seasonable when other duties are to be done, yet short pious prayers darted out, always are so. We must use holy thoughts in our ordinary course. A vain heart will be vain in prayer. We must pray with all kinds of prayer, public, private, and secret; social and solitary; solemn and sudden: with all the parts of prayer; confession of sin, petition for mercy, and thanksgiving for favours received. And we must do it by the grace of God the Holy Spirit, in dependence on, and according to, his teaching. We must preserve in particular requests, notwithstanding discouragements. We must pray, not for ourselves only, but for all saints. Our enemies are mighty, and we are without strength, but our Redeemer is almighty, and in the power of his mighty we may overcome. Wherefore we must stir up ourselves. Have not we, when God has called, often neglected to answer? Let us think upon these things, and continue our prayers with patience.
Pulpit Commentary
Verses 10-20. - THE CHRISTIAN WARFARE. Verse 10. - Finally. The apostle has now reached his last passage, and by this word quickens the attention of his readers and prepares them for a counsel eminently weighty in itself, and gathering up the pith and marrow, as it were, of what goes before. "My brethren," A.V., is rejected by R.V, and most modern commentators, for lack of external evidence. We note, however, that, whereas in the preceding verses he had distributed the Ephesians into groups, giving an appropriate counsel to each, he now brings them again together, and has a concluding counsel for them all. Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Compare with Ephesians 3:16, where the heavenly provision for obtaining strength is specified, and with Ephesians 4:30, where we are cautioned against a course that will fritter away that provision. The ever-recurring formula, "in the Lord," indicates the relation to Christ in which alone the strength can be experienced (comp. 2 Corinthians 12:9). The might is Christ's, but by faith it becomes our strength. As the steam-engine genders the dynamic force, which belts and wheels communicate to the inert machinery of the factory, so Christ is the source of that spiritual strength which through faith is communicated to all his people. To be strong is our duty; to be weak is our sin. Strong trust, strong courage, strong endurance, strong hope. strong love, may all be had from him, if only our fellowship with him be maintained in uninterrupted vigor.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Finally, my brethren,.... This is the conclusion of the apostle's exhortations, in which he addresses the saints as his brethren; which appellation he uses, not merely as a familiar way of speaking among the Jews, but in regard to them as regenerate persons, and of the same family and household of God with himself; and he calls them so, to show his humility, and as a proof of his affection to them, and with a design to encourage them to their duty, as follows:
be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might; which is directed to, partly on account of the things before exhorted to, which could not be performed in their own strength; and partly with respect to their many and potent enemies hereafter mentioned, against whom they had no might nor power of their own; and therefore the apostle points out the Lord Jesus Christ unto them, in whom are strength, power, and might, even everlasting strength, to enable them to perform their duty, and to fight against every enemy, sin, Satan, and the world; for though they are weak, and strength in themselves, and can do nothing of themselves, and without Christ; yet since there is strength in him, which is communicable to them, they may expect it from him, and depend upon it; and they may come at, or strengthen themselves in it, and by it, by meditation on it, by prayer for it, by waiting on Christ in his own ways, by exercising faith upon him, and through the Spirit, who strengthens them from him with might in the inward man.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
10. my brethren—Some of the oldest manuscripts omit these words. Some with Vulgate retain them. The phrase occurs nowhere else in the Epistle (see, however, Eph 6:23); if genuine, it is appropriate here in the close of the Epistle, where he is urging his fellow soldiers to the good fight in the Christian armor. Most of the oldest manuscripts for "finally," read, "henceforward," or "from henceforth" (Ga 6:17).
be strong—Greek, "be strengthened."
in the power of his might—Christ's might: as in Eph 1:19, it is the Father's might.

Bieber in a Bottle
The exploding market of celebrity perfumes.
The Smell of Money
Just-launched Dazzle is Paris Hilton's 16th fragrance since she first started churning them out in 2004, and according to Women's Wear Daily, they've thus far made $1.5 billion. Hilton's perfumes and colognes have names like Heir, Heiress, and Passport St. Moritz, and they attempt to evoke wealth and exotic locales. Depending on your perspective, Dazzle is either the smell of Paris Hilton, who happens to be rich, or the smell of Paris Hilton getting rich off you.
What do riches smell like? Marketing savvy. Hilton belongs to a special club of celebrities who just keep churning out the scents, many of them sequels, or "flankers," that milk the success of an original. Britney Spears, who's about to release her 11th scent, is quite fond of spinoffs—Fantasy spurned such fevered sequels as Midnight Fantasy, Hidden Fantasy, and Circus Fantasy. Jessica Simpson has 13 fragrances, seven of which have the word dessert in the title. Jennifer Lopez has 19 fragrances, according to Fragrantica, with her latest, Glowing, launched as a tribute to Glow, her first scent from 10 years ago.
Hilton's perfumes tend to be sweet floral fruities, with more or less vanilla, sweet like Bieber's scents if just a hint sexier. Dazzle smells like a cherry cupcake. Promotional materials for Dazzle suggest Hilton's newest scent represents Hilton's relaxed, down-home side—"inner beauty … without the need for bling." But the perfume is bottled in a glittery pink diamond, lest anyone forget precisely what Hilton is selling.
The Smell of Post-Coitus
There are girls who wear Jessica Simpson, and there are girls who wear Lady Gaga, and they are not the same girls. Lady Gaga's first scent is due out later this year, and she's done her best to encourage self-selection among potential customers. She reportedly promised her fragrance would smell like an "expensive hooker" and said it was inspired by blood and semen. When photos of Lady Gaga's Fame were released, the perfume box indicated that it actually smells like "tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchidea with a black veil of incense, pulverized apricot, and the combinative essences of saffron and honey drops." If it's not semen-scented, exactly, it's a fair bet this will not smell like cupcake. A wonderful new black-and-white video shows Fame being made by gorgeous, half-naked men in a sort of mad scientist's lair, and in a new ad, Gaga is depicted as naked and holding her perfume with tiny men crawling all over her.
The Bad Girl category of fragrance is a small subset of celebrity scents that aims for something sexier and more provocative than mere pear and jasmine. Rihanna's second scent, Rebelle, out last winter, comes in a bottle that Kevin Marshall, a packaging design expert at Marc Rosen Associates, described to me as an "inverted stiletto." Its notes include ginger, coffee, and patchouli—sweet but spicy, with a hint of something burnt. Not candy, for sure, and not a delicate floral either. Nude outtakes from a recent photo shoot for Rihanna's next scent, appropriately titled Nude, suggest she's sticking with the scent of provocation.
And Madonna, without whom Rihanna and Lady Gaga would not exist, came out this spring with her very first scent, launched with a whiff of scandal when ABC had to ask for less breast from one of her ads. The press materials accompanying Truth or Dare rather loftily promised "darkness and light, innocence and deceit." Heavy on gardenia and tuberose and inspired by a perfume Madonna's mother used to wear as well as by the eponymous '91 documentary, Truth or Dare wants to be some sort of retro-sexy-virgin-slut amalgam, an homage to Madonna in her heyday.
Whether it succeeds is another matter. Reviews for Truth or Dare have been tepid. The best have described the scent as "sophisticated and elegant," while the worst have described it as "bingo night in a garden in a rest home." As one reviewer explained, "one person's modern tuberose is another person's old-lady-perfume nightmare." But it's worth wondering whether everything Madonna does reads as anticlimactic these days, no matter its merits. Might Truth or Dare read as coyly sophisticated if it were packaged in a pink diamond and sold by Paris Hilton? As Justin Bieber implied when he joked recently that a little bit of his sweat went into each bottle of Girlfriend, people buy celebrity scents in great part to get closer to their beloved's DNA.
In which case smell may be somewhat beside the point.

Mutations to mitochondrial DNA caused by reactive oxygen species have been associated with a wide range of diseases and disorders including cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimers disease, Parkinsons disease, and even natural processes such as senescence. Organotellurides have been demonstrated to be powerful antioxidants, and could serve as probes to better understand oxidative damage to DNA. Saccharomyces Cerivisiae (brewers yeast) is an ideal experimental organism to evaluate the efficacy of a particular antioxidant because it is facultatively anaerobic. Therefore, when plated on selective media, yeast with impaired mitochondrial function can be identified. Saccharomyces assays have been used to establish a consistent frequency of spontaneous respiration loss, and will be used for the subsequent testing of the antioxidants ability to prevent oxidative damage to DNA. Progress toward the synthesis of cationic, lipophilic, water-soluble organotelluride antioxidants designed to undergo transport into yeast mitochondria has been made. A series of telluride compounds has been analyzed for antioxidant capability using cyclic voltammetry.

Apache 1.3 hijackPosted on June 12th, 2009 1 comment
I want to appologize to first time visotors, yesterday when you find my website, it redirected to adult website. Someone reported me this issue, and I quickly checked all my files on the server, and didn't find any sign which could bring this problem.
I asked my hosting company about this and they confess this happen due to Apache 1.3 version, then they moved my website account to another server where installaed Apache 2.2
This solved the issue.
If any of you keep your website on old Apache version I highly recommend you to update.
Vulnerability in Apache 1.3 allows hacker to involve in victims account without physical access to his files.

Helpful Articles
There are lots of helpful articles that you can read to find suggestions about natural ways to get rid of your stress.
A good one is "Anxiety Building" by Terry Robson. It's an article that offers great suggestions for nutrition, exercise and other natural anxiety solutions.
It's included below…
List of 101 Ways to Treat Anxiety Naturally
Anxiety Busting
We are living in an age of neurotica. Anxiety is the leading mood disorder in Australia. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics 45% of all mood disorders are anxiety based and they lead to millions of lost workdays each year. More important than not turning up to work though, are the other health problems that anxiety can cause.
The medical journals are full of the health side-effects of excessive anxiety. People who worry a lot are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer's Disease (Neurology). Anxiety in the family doubles the children's risk of developing diabetes (Diabetes Care). High levels of anxiety hormones cause a unique type of heart attack (New England Journal of Medicine). High anxiety levels can age you by a decade or more (PNAS). It is a really good idea to do something about your anxiety levels before they damage you and that does not mean just popping a pill or even seeing a counsellor.
There is plenty of evidence that many lifestyle and food choices do affect anxiety levels. People with chronic anxiety tend to have low levels of a neurotransmitter in the brain called serotonin. This serotonin has a calming effect and low levels contribute to anxiety. One way to increase serotinin levels is to eat carbohydrates. In one study people on high carbohydrate diets did better on memory tests than those on low carbohydrate diets because of the impact of carbohydrate on your brain. This is not a recommendation to live on sugar. The best carbohydrates are the complex ones from wholemeal foods and from low GI fruit and vegetables.
A cup of coffee may be something that you turn to at stressful moments but it actually one of the worst things that you could do. Despite giving you a temporary kick, caffeine actually worsens anxiety. It binds to receptors in your brain that would normally be occupied by a chemical that you make called adenosine. This adenosine is a feel-good chemical that relieves anxious feelings so caffeine in the long run is making you more anxious.
Likewise alcohol may seem like a short-term remedy but it makes things worse in the long run. In the short term alcoho is a relaxant but if you consume it regularly it reduces the effectiveness of a neurotansmitter in the brain called GABA. Ineffective GABA results in increased anxiety. On the other hand exericse, laughter and meditation all reduce anxiety.
Exercise causes the release of endorphins (feel-good chemicals) and also enhances oxygen transport around the body as well as promoting the removal of wastes. The result is that you have a greater general sense of wellbeing and less anxiety. Laughter busts anxiety by releasing excessive psychological energy. It has been shown to discharge tension from primitive parts of the brain like the amygdala. Scans of the brains of people who meditate on a regular basis show more activity in the left prefrontal lobe, the part of the brain involved in positive emotions and good mood.
Then there are the supplements that will ease anxiety. The mineral magnesium has been shown to reduce anxiety probably because of its affect on communication between nerves. Inositol is required for the action of several neurotransmitters including serotonin. Low levels of inositol in the brain do correlate with anxiety and depression. Vitamin B6 is needed for the formation of GABA. Taking a multivitamin on a daily basis has been shown to reduce scores on anxiety tests. The herb Chamomile has been used for thousands of years to relieve anxiety states and recent research has shown that the flavonoid apigenin from Chamomile binds to the same receptors on nerves as benzodiazepines (pharmaceutical antidepressants).
So based on all of this let's make a quick recipe for an anti-anxiety start to your day;
Go for a 20 minute walk (boost endorphins)
Meditate for 10 minutes (switch on your left prefrontal lobe)
Have two slices of wholemeal raisin toast (carbohydrates lift serotonin and riasins contain vitamin B6)
Have a bowl of porridge with raisins and banana
Have a glass of orange juice (source of inositol)
Drink some Chamomile tea (anti-anxiety) instead of coffee
Take a multivitamin.
This is not a total answer to chronic anxiety but it is a good start to a pleasurable day. The real answers to anxiety busting are long term. I was lucky enough to attend some of the Happiness & Its Causes conference with the Dalai Lama in Sydney last week. I can't communicate the breadth of the wisdom that was shared there from both Eastern and Western perspectives. However there was one point that most speakers, including the Dalai Lama agreed on. This is that happiness is something that comes from within you and it comes as the result of training. If your mind attaches to destructive thoughts that breed anxiety, then whatever else you do, you must also retrain that mind. One way to do this is through anlaytical meditation.
Take ten minutes at the end of the day to sit quietly and think over the day that you have just had. Remember the emotions and thoughts that you experienced and which ones led to a happy result. Make a conscious effort to reject your destructive patterning and embrace productive thoughts. I'm grossly oversimplifying some detailed concepts here but try training yourself to be happy and that is probably the best antidote to anxiety."panic attack", "Bavarian Root", anxiety attack symptoms, anxiety books, coping with anxiety, http://panicbreaker.com/treating-anxiety-naturally-part-3/, panic attack symptoms, retraining amygdala meditation, sniff flowers anti anxiety, treating anxiety disorders naturally, treating chronic anxiety naturally, wägander
