FTC Disclosure: I received complimentary review copies from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. The giveaway prizes are provided by the publisher.
Hello everyone! I am happy to announce a great giveaway today--1 winner will receive hardcover copies of Journey and Quest, by Aaron Becker, to celebrate the August release of Return, the third book of this wordless picture book trilogy. US & Canada only please! Giveaway ends on 7/10/2016. Read on for more about the books.
Book # 1 in the Journey Trilogy
A 2014 Caldecott Honor Book
Follow a girl on an elaborate flight of fancy in a wondrously illustrated, wordless picture book about self-determination — and unexpected friendship.
A lonely girl draws a magic door on her bedroom wall and through it escapes into a world where wonder, adventure, and danger abound. Red marker in hand, she creates a boat, a balloon, and a flying carpet that carry her on a spectacular journey toward an uncertain destiny. When she is captured by a sinister emperor, only an act of tremendous courage and kindness can set her free. Can it also lead her home and to her heart's desire? With supple line, luminous color, and nimble flights of fancy, author-illustrator Aaron Becker launches an ordinary child on an extraordinary journey toward her greatest and most exciting adventure of all.Q&A with Aaron Becker The Journey Trilogy Activity Kit
Aaron Becker, creator of Journey, a Caldecott Honor book, presents the next chapter in his stunning wordless fantasy.
A king emerges from a hidden door in a city park, startling two children sheltering from the rain. No sooner does he push a map and some strange objects into their hands than he is captured by hostile forces that whisk him back through the enchanted door. Just like that, the children are caught up in a quest to rescue the king and his kingdom from darkness, while illuminating the farthest reaches of their imagination. Colored markers in hand, they make their own way through the portal, under the sea, through a tropical paradise, over a perilous bridge, and high in the air with the help of a winged friend. Journey lovers will be thrilled to follow its characters on a new adventure threaded with familiar elements, while new fans will be swept into a visually captivating story that is even richer and more exhilarating than the first.
One more video, then it's time for the giveaway!

It was hard enough to get them to request what they felt like reading next - I have had more enthusiastic book clubbers in previous years. I mean, yes, they turn up at meetings and chat quite happily about things bookish, but there aren't the same cries of joy as they dive into a box of new books and too many of them read one book at a time and firmly refuse to borrow another one till it's finished.
But in the end, I had a decent shopping list from them - and, oddly, from some non members who turned up today, just in time, asking for such things as the next Magisterium novel(Holly Black and Cassndra Clare) and a series by a Polish gentleman which inspired a video game. And I found both! I bought the first novel in the series, and Book 2 of Magisterium(it was in the children's section instead of the YA and the Polish novel was in the SF). In the SF also I easily found a Terry Goodkind book for one of my book clubbers who wanted to read it because she had seen a TV show based on it. Fine. I imagine some of my spec fic lovers will read it after her.
There was a request for "more Diary of A Wimpy Kid, miss" from a Year 7 - I bought the latest, which we don't have.
I'm afraid the vampire fans will miss out yet again. I did find a couple of the requested books, but not all, and the only Morganville Vampire book they had was the first, which we have. I must ask our bookseller if she can get hold of some more. I keep disappointing that young lady.
My young history lover, who was in my class in Year 8 the other year, asked for "anything about war." I found a couple of books about WWI which he should find of interest but which Year 9 students can also use after him. One of them was actually on the CBCA short list a few years ago, but I must have missed it - I mostly read and buy the Older Readers books.
Speaking of which, I suddenly realised that they had some of this Year's Short List which I had missed. Two were Younger Reader books, but I bought them anyway. It's surprising what turns up there.

A fellow Potter fan recently created a custom POP! Vinyl Figure in honor of Luis Vielma, a victim of the Pulse nightclub shooting and former employee at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Orlando. The figurine is shown below, courtesy of Mugglenet.
The fan behind this creation–Brandon Anderson of Colorado Springs, Colorado–took advantage of Funko Pop's custom vinyl figure creation feature on its website, which allows individuals to purchase blank figurines and customize however they wish.
In addition to this touching tribute, Potter fans raised their wands outside the Wizarding World attraction where Vielma worked, and J.K. Rowling personally sent a handwritten note and floral wreath to Vielma's funeral.

I am so excited that in Sketchbook Skool, we keep adding amazing artists to our Fakulty. Nina Johansson, who is a fantastic illustrator, urban sketcher and watercolourist is officially joining us, and I just got back from Stockholm, where we filmed a bunch of lessons with her.
She is very inspiring, and so is her art, but Nina is also my kinda gal – positive, passionate, skillful and she has a great sense of humour to top it all off.
We'd been preparing for the video shoot via email and Skype – and then meeting in person is such a treat – especially since she's been such a great host to make my stay in Stockholm convenient and fun.
Thanks to all great prep work and to our creative film crew, everything went smooth and we had a lot of fun during the shoot!
An extra treat after wrapping up was having dinner and a sketch with Nina in the center of Stockholm, celebrating our accomplishment.
And on my way back, I made good use of my travel time and enjoyed drawing.
I absolutely love how the drawing below turned out – using just a fountain pen and a grey brushpen. It also opened up an interesting conversation with two of the flight attendants who spotted my drawing. I love how art can connect!

Okay. So now we're finally getting some interesting picture book biographies on a regular basis. When I was a kid you had your Helen Keller and your Abraham Lincoln and you were GRATEFUL! These days, people are interested in celebrating more than just the same ten people over and over again. Why this year alone I've seen some incredibly interesting picture book biographies of comparatively obscure figures. These include . . .
- Ada Lovelace, Poet of Science: The First Computer Programmer by Diane Stanley, ill. Jessie Hartland
- Ada's Ideas: The Story of Ada Lovelace, the World's First Computer Programmer by Fiona Robinson (Ada's really hot this year)
- Anything But Ordinary: The True Story of Adelaide Herman, Queen of Magic by Mara Rockliff, ill. Iacopo Bruno
- Around America to Win the Vote: Two Suffragists, a Kitten, and 10,000 Miles by Mara Rockliff, ill. Hadley Hooper
- Cloth Lullaby: The Woven Life of Louise Bourgeois by Amy Novesky, ill. Isabelle Arsenault
- Esquivel! Space‐Age Sound Artist by Susan Wood, ill. Duncan Tonatiuh
- Fancy Party Gowns: The Story of Ann Cole Lowe by Deborah Blumenthal, ill. Laura Freeman
- I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark by Debbie Levy, ill. Elizabeth Baddeley
- The Kid from Diamond Street: The Extraordinary Story of Baseball Legend Edith Houghton by Audrey Vernick, ill. Steven Salerno
- Lift Your Light a Little Higher: The Story of Stephen Bishop: Slave‐Explorer by Heather Henson, ill. Bryan Collier
- Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist Jean‐Michel Basquiat by Javaka Steptoe
- Solving the Puzzle Under the Sea: Marie Tharp Maps the Ocean Floor by Robert Burleigh, ill. Raul Colon
- To the Stars! The First American Woman to Walk in Space by Carmella Van Vleet & Dr. Kathy Sullivan, ill. Nicole Wong
- Whoosh! Lonnie Johnson's Super‐Soaking Stream of Inventions by Chris Barton, ill. Don Tate
- The William Hoy Story by Nancy Churnin, ill. Jez Tuya
And those are just the ones I've seen!
It's encouraging. And then I wonder – do people need suggestions for more fun biographies? Because if they do have I got the woman for you!
First off, meet Kate Beaton. You may only know her from her two Scholastic books, last year's The Princess and the Pony and this year's King Baby. But Kate has been running an online comic site called Hark, A Vagrant! for years. There are many lovely things about the site, but I'm particularly fond of her brief biographical comics on obscure historical figures. She's been doing them for years and once in a while I really do see one turned into a picture book (paging Ada Lovelace . . .). So in today's goofy post I'm going to pull out some of Kate's work in the hopes that maybe there's an author or illustrator there who'd like to write a picture book biography about someone awesome and relatively unknown.
By the way, you can follow these links to read these comics in a clearer format, if you like. And I think you can even buy prints of them, if you want.
First up:
I legitimately had never heard of her. A badass Asian-American aviatrix heroine? Um… how is she NOT in a picture book bio? Because quite frankly we could use a huge uptick in our Asian-American women bios in general. Particularly if they involve air stunts.
Is it weird that there isn't a really well-known Henson picture book biography out there? I guess his life wasn't completely perfect (second family at the North Pole and all) but as African-American explorers go, he's fantastic. As it happens, this was the first Hark, A Vagrant! comic I ever read. I was a fan for life afterwards.
She helps to discover DNA! She doesn't get credit for it! This story has everything!
She's so often just linked to Typhoid Mary, but Ms. Baker did wonders for infant mortality rates and just generally sounds like an amazing woman. And I like how Beaton draws her hair.
I'm pretty sure we've had picture book bios on her before, but the only one I can remember was for older kids.
Again, never heard of her. And as Kate put it regarding Nightingale, "She is no longer my favorite Crimean War nurse." This is timely too since as of three days ago there was a report in The Guardian over the huge furor over a statue honoring Seacole's achievements. Read it, when you get a chance. Then write a bio of Seacole.
Maybe not so obscure thanks to his biopic, but sure as shooting lacking in some significant pic bios.
Of course when all is said and done, Kate should really just make her own picture book biographies. Or, do a book for older readers of Biographies You Should REALLY Know and Don't.
Oh, it would work.
Happy writing!
I love this post — I'm such a fan of picture book biographies and Kate Beaton (she's a hoot)! When I spew random facts about historical figures that my family has never heard of, it's often because I read about that person in a picture book biography!
I also wish there were more biographies in general about Asian American women. It looks like there's a chapter about Katherine Sui Fun Cheung in Women Aviators: 26 Stories of Pioneer Flights, Daring Missions, and Record-Setting Journeys, but that's a middle school and up nonfiction book. There's a picture book biography about a different Asian American female pilot: Sky High: The True Story of Maggie Gee, which I used when I worked in the library.
Yes, let's petition Kate to write a kids'/teens' version of Hark! A Vagrant/Step Aside, Pops … it would be fabulous!
Fun Asian-American picture book bios. We should make demands. It's not that the bios don't exist, they're just never get to be quirky. I am a big proponent of more humor in our nonfiction. More fun, please!
Hi —
Carole Boston Weatherford wrote (and Eric Velasquez illustrated) a lovely picture book biography of Matthew Henson called I, Matthew Henson: Polar Explore (Walker, 2007).
Yes indeed, back in 2008. Perhaps Walker & Co. should consider rereleasing it.
Since you're the one who introduced me to Our Kate, I had to come back and say OF COURSE we need to encourage her to just do ALLLLLL the picture book biographies. I could enjoy a Seacole one from her for sure!
Dibs on Rosalind Franklin. Unless Kate does it first. Or anyone else…
I have already pitched two of these people to an editor! And yes, there are so many more great stories waiting to be told.

Elizabeth talks about "Heart Art," the part that makes the illustration magical. For a writer. For me, "Heart Art" or "Heart Story" is author intention. My heart is in everything I write. I believe it's in every author's work.
Embedded. Woven. Waiting to be discovered.
The real reason behind why the author wrote the book. And when a writer tells a story with their heart stitched into the fabric of a manuscript well, then, success. Magic. Bliss.
Donald Mass in his novel The Breakout Novelist said, "Success as an author requires…a big heart." I agree.
A big heart reaches out and extends a hand to fellow writers. Knowing helping them achieve success is a reward unto its own. By serving them, you receive something too. A big heart knows there's room for everyone.
A big heart is open to all possibilities. Knowing that there is more than one way to get to the destination. Knowing that failure is needed to get to success. Knowing that humility and humbleness make us do our jobs better. A big heart knows anything is possible. And we don't have to step on people to get there.
In my heart, I know there are no coincidences in life. That if you allow your heart to be open, big and wide, well there's nothing you can't do. So let the people in. Learn from whoever is willing to teach you. Love the work. Lift others.
Don't worry about success. It'll find you. All you need is a big heart.
If you're in Austin, TX this summer, Carmen is teaching Perfecting the Picture Book I at The Writing Barn and later this September at Highlights with Don Tate's workshop The Journey: Your Path to Publication with special guests, Alison Green Myers, and Kathleen Hayes.

Who To Root For? Wings or Sharks?
After the elimination of the Predators to the Canucks, and the push of the Sharks/Wings series to a seventh game tonight, Blackhawk fans have had a difficult decision to make: Who should I root for?
Yes, if you want to be a total stick in the mud and just enjoy the spectacle of it all, you don't have to root for anyone, but then you wouldn't get the thrill of telling everyone you were right or the pain of everyone yelling at you for being wrong.
So who should we root for tonight? The Sharks or the Wings?
It's real easy kids. Detroit is who you should throw your support behind and here's why.
The Sharks are the Canucks Lite This year
And what I mean by that is they have all the talent in the world, and instead of just coming out and beating teams into submission with their skill, they whine and complain about everything that doesn't go their way. Their big name players dive. They're choke artists. And don't you dare tell me the 'Nucks aren't because they won Game 7 against us. That game shouldn't have even HAPPENED. They don't really have any likeable players outside of one or two.
The Wings Have (or SHOULD Have) Our Respect
We hate the Wings because they've been consistently good forever. They have what we want in an organization. Amazing drafting and development. Depth. A rabid fan base. A historic arena. A dump of a city. They have one of the only players on the planet that causes awe amongst his peers on a constant basis (Datsyuk). A bevy of Stanley Cups (11). Outside of Todd Bertuzzi, I don't really hate any of their guys the way I hate the Sedins, Luongo, Bieksa, Thornton, and Murray for example.
Finally, History Would Be Made
Not only would history be made if the Wings were to win and become the fifth team in NHL history to come back from a 0-3 deficit in a series to win, but the Sharks would be trampled into the Dark Ages. The Bruins have already overcome their demons from last year by sweeping the Flyers and not already having a "choke" label attached to them. The Sharks have five years of playoff futility under their belts already and this would make Shark fans burn jerseys, rip up tickets, and legally rename the kids that they named after Vincent Damphousse. How fun would that be?
I would certainly feel horrible for Antti Niemi though. I love the guy, I still love watching him flop all over the place and keeping his team in games. But fuck him, he's not on the Hawks anymore, so I can root against him.
And with that…*puts on best Tony Kornheiser voice* WHO YA GOT!?

Gentlemen Moderators, Worthy Opponent, Respected Audience:
We are getting along so nicely with the discussion. We feel well toward each other. We differ but it is in friendship. If any attending this discussion should be too full of prejudice to allow room for anything else, the discussion would do such no good. So let us try to lay aside all prejudice and study the word of God to ascertain its teaching.
I attend first to the questions which my Brother handed to me.
The first is: "Does God require all men, elect a non-elect to seek him? None are commanded to seek God except his children.
The second is: "Can a man be blamed for not accepting a gift which is not offered to him?" A man is not blamed for not accepting Christ. He is blamed for violating God's law.
I have a question now for him. Can a man be blamed for not accepting Christ who never hears of him? Are heathens, who never hear of Christ, sent to hell for not accepting him?
"Is Christ offered to men, elect and non-elect, in the Gospel?" Not offered to anybody.
"Does God command every sinner, elect and non-elect to repent?" A man cannot repent without life, whatever kind of repentance it be, natural or spiritual.
"Does God censure sinners, elect and non-elect, for not believing on his Son?" Not believing is not the cause of condemnation. It is the evidence of it.
"What is the penalty due to sin?" Death.
"Where do you learn that only elect persons die in infancy?" All that die in infancy are saved in Heaven. I believe that. Those that are saved in Heaven are elect. Therefore only elect persons die in infancy.
"Can a man believe in Christ without believing that Christ died for him?" The devils did.
(Mr. Throgmorton: "Did they believe that Christ died for them?")
Devils believe.
(Mr. Throgmorton: "On Christ, is what my question said.")
Don't interrupt, please.
"Is there any way for a sinner to repent or seek God except through the crucified Christ?" None repent or seek after God in a state of unregeneracy.
"Why does God favor a non-elect person with long life, and deny the same, blessing to the elect?" Because it seems good in his sight.
"Would Christ have suffered any more in dying for all of Adam's race than in dying for just one sinner?" No way of knowing.
"When Paul says, Christ loved me and gave himself for me, does he mean that Christ loved no one else and gave himself for nobody else?" No, he gave himself for all the elect.
"Can you name a passage in the New Testament where the word "world" means only, the elect?" Yes, sir; 1st John 2:2. The "whole world" means only the elect among the Jews and among the Gentiles. He tries to make an impression relative to experience, that because Christ atoned for our sins and satisfied God by reconciling us to God by his death, that therefore the Holy Spirit in revealing to us that we are sinners reveals to us what is false. It is one thing to be reconciled to God and another thing to be reconciled in the court of our own conscience and in our actual experience, as revealed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals to us that we have sinned and reveals to us the great guilt of that sin, then, in the second rev elation, that Christ on the cross atoned for our sins; that we may be made to rejoice. Having been shown that we had sinned, we are then enabled to rejoice that Jesus atoned for our sins, and that experience, if we have it, is but the necessary result of what Christ did on the cross. The ransom being paid the transgressor is released. But he illustrates again by speaking of the prisoner who is in debt for $1,000.00, and is in prison for that indebtedness. He says he goes to work and works very hard, suffers a great deal to get the money with which to pay the, debt. Now I ask him, is the payment of the money necessary to the release of the prisoner, and must the debt be paid before the prisoner is released, and does the release of the prisoner necessarily follow the payment of the debt, which is made before the transgressor is released? If you want to be fair about that illustration you will come up and answer those questions.
He says his duty is to examine the proof text. His duty is to examine the arguments and proof texts that I submit. He examines the proof texts, but the arguments he passes by. He quotes Jno. 3:26. "He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." His position is that he believes to get the everlasting life. My position is that he believes because he has the everlasting life. If his position were true, it would not be true that he that believeth hath everlasting life. It ought to be stated that he that believeth will get it.
In reference to 1st Cor. 8:10-11, where the Apostle speaks of a weak brother perishing for whom Christ died, I desire to read the 11th, 12th and 13th verses. "And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethren (the brethren, not the world), but when you sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak consciences, ye sin against Christ." Whose weak consciences? The weak consciences of the brethren. The brethren out in the world? No. The brethren in the church, God's children. "Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend— What brother, Brother Throgmorton? The brother out in the world,—that is not the meaning— It is the brother in the church,—I will eat no flesh while the world standeth." I argued it was a brother in the church. He argued it was a brother out in the world, a brother in Adam. Why are the brethren in the church concerned about perishing who is just a brother in the world, a brother in Adam? There is no question but that wrong about the interpretation of the text. I believe you would stand well before this audience to confess that you made a mistake there. Indeed, I believe it would help you.
Then he refers to 1st Tim. 2:1-6, where it is stated Christ gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time. "Ransom for all" is here translated from antilutron huper panton. The preposition anti is here joined to the verb lutron. This is a strong word translated "ransom" in this text. Anti means over against, corresponding to, in place of, in retribution or return for. Lutron is from the verb luo, which means to loosen unbind, unfasten, set at liberty. So the word, antilutron means the payment of such a price as retribution or return for as results in loosing or setting at liberty all for whom the ransom was paid. This makes it infallibly certain that all for whom the ransom was paid, for whom this blessed Mediator gave himself as a ransom, will be eternally saved. It doesn't say he gave himself a ransom for the entire world. "All" there simply signifies those for whom he gave himself a ransom, and signifies that they shall be released on account of the ransom made for them. He says, "God says 'I would, but you wouldn't'." It wouldn't do for God to say "I could, but you couldn't." Because he said God cannot save the sinner in unbelief. Some influence aside from God must bring the sinner into the circle of belief or God cannot reach him. That gives another being greater power than God, some other being able to go out in the circle of unbelief and bring, sinners from that state into belief, before God can .reach the sinner! Now who is it that brings the sinner into the state of belief so that God can save him? If you can tell, you can tell who has greater power than God has in the salvation of sinners!
In Matt. 13: 44, reference is made to the treasure hid in a field and a man selling all he had and buying the field. His argument is that Christ sold all he had to buy the world for the treasure that is in the world. Now, then, if that be the true interpretation of that parable, then Christ didn't care anything about any of the field except the treasure that was in it. His position is that Christ, in dying for the world, has tried to make the world a treasure. The world and treasure of the world are, alike according to his position, when it comes to the idea of trying to make the whole world a treasure. But the parable lands him on the position that there is a treasure in the field, and for the sake of the treasure the field is bought for the treasure that is in it. What proves too much, proves nothing. Now this has reference to the kingdom of heaven, the church of Jesus Christ on earth. There came a time in my life when I was willing to give up everything for the precious treasure I found in obedience to my master-
''Perish every fond ambition,
All I've hoped, or sought, or known,
Yet how rich is my condition,
God and heaven are still my own."
I am willing to give up the whole world, that I may enjoy this treasure.
He says again that Paul meant in 1st Tim. 4:10, when he speaks of God being saviour of all, men, that Jesus is referred to, and that he is the Saviour, of all men. I ask him this question: Is Christ the Saviour of the damned in hell? What is a Saviour?
I hold in my hand a pamphlet issued by Harry Todd when Harry was a member of the Old Baptist Church and professed to believe its true doctrine, having left the Missionary Baptists when he was a young man and made us believe he was converted to the truth. He lived with us and preached for us awhile. He held a discussion with Elder J. S. Edmunds, after which discussion he issued this pamphlet as a proof, a defense of the Bible doctrine of atonement. I read this as argument because it is good. I want to get it before this intelligent audience. "Can God damn a sinner justly without Christ dying for him? If so would it be unjust in God to send his Son to die for one, or a dozen, or a half, or any number of the guilty lost race of man? If it would not be an act of injustice for him thus to do, could he not die for a part by mercy and save them for his glory, and by his justice damn the ungodly, whose sins were unatoned? Or finally, if God could not damn a rebel sinner without Christ dying for him, I ask will all be saved for whom he died? If they will not, and God could not have damned them without his Son suffering for them, and since he died for them some will be lost; would not this make the atonement the angel of death, and the ground cause of man's damnation? Now, Mr. Preacher, you will never with all your twisting and misrepresentation, get from under these unalterable and eternal truths. They will goad the neck of all the Missionaries. I accuse your theory of debauchery and crime. It incriminates God and makes him meaner than the Devil and his soul black in hypocrisy for offering to save by giving his Son to die, knowing they would not accept it; and knowing he could not damn them without it, he gave his Son in order to damn them. Oh angels! blush that men would thus defame the holy name of God."
I now proceed with my Fifteenth Argument: My Fifteenth Argument is that the sins of those for whom Christ died are reckoned as debts and the death of Christ is the full payment by which those sins or debts are said to be covered. In the prayer the Lord taught his disciples, as given by Matthew, he said: "And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. (Matt. 6:12.) As worded by Luke, the same petition reads:
"Forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us." (Luke 11:4.) This interchange of the words debts and sins proves them to be scripturally synonymous in a sense. In the covenant of Grace, Christ became the surety for his people, an engagement which rendered it an obligation upon him to settle for all their sins. Heb. 7:22. "By so much was Jesus made a surety for a better testament." Bondsman here translated surety, means bondsman, sponsor, and surety. He was not surety for God, as he needed none, but for the sinners for whom he died. As surety for them, he covered their sins by his death as the payment of the debt covers it.
Psalms 32:1-2, "Blessed is he whose transgression .is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile." Who is it whose transgression is forgiven? It is the one whose sin is covered. What covers sin as a debt? The payment of that debt.
Rom. 4:6-7-8, "Even as David also. describeth the blessedness of the man unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin." He covered the sins of those for whom he died by bearing those sins in his own body on the cross, thus rendering satisfactory payment to Divine justice.
1st Peter 2 :24, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed." Those for whom Christ died have their sins covered by his death, which is the only real covering for sins. As surety for them he had the right to make full payment for all their debts. The payment he thus made must result in righteousness being imputed to them without works. Nothing stands against those whose sins are covered and to whom this righteousness is imputed without works. Therefore all for whom Christ died will be eternally saved.
My next argument is that as it is the work of the Holy Spirit to call effectually all who are ever called, and as in this work, he acts in a sovereign and irresistible manner, all for whom Christ died will be called, and therefore eternally saved. The outward influence of the Holy Spirit as exercised in the preaching of the Gospel and the influence of the people of God, is resisted by man while his heart is in a state of enmity. Stephen pressed this fact upon the Jews whom he denominated stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart, saying: "Ye do always resist the Holy Ghost; as your fathers did, so do, ye." Acts 7:51. Immediately he explained this by saying: "Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted ?" The Spirit's influence as thus manifested is merely an external influence, while the Divine call I am now considering is an internal work. The external influence may be resisted, but when the Spirit himself comes in the omnipotence of his grace, resistance vanishes. The same power which created the world, and said, "Let there be light," is exerted in the call of the sinner from the darkness of death to the marvelous light of life. This is signified in the following passages: "Who hath saved us and called us, not according to our works, but according to his own purposes and grace which was given us in Christ before the world began." II Tim. 1:9, "Whom he did predestinate them he also called." Rom. 8:30, "All things work together for good to them that love God, to them that are the called according to his purpose." Rom. 8:28, "God who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts." 2nd Cor. 4:6. This is as I argued in one of my speeches this forenoon. Jesus is by the Spirit raised from the dead. We believe ac cording to his mighty power which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead. He is able to make the believer believe in the same way he raised Christ from the dead and by the same power. His power in creating the heavens and the earth and the calling forth of the light was unresisted and unresistible, and the power by which he new the soul and puts his Divine light therein is equally unresisted. All t Father giveth me shall come to me. All for whom Christ died shall be effectually called, the work in calling being irresistible. All who are effectually called shall be eternally saved. Therefore all whom Christ died shall be eternally saved.
I desire my brother's attention to some more questions I have here on the board. The first question I have here is: If faith is necessary to make Christ's death an atonement for sinners, is his death an atonement for those who die without hearing the gospel? That question is plain. If faith is necessary to make Christ's death an atonement for sinners, is his death an atonement for those who die without hearing the gospel?
Would it be injustice in God to send any one to hell without a chance of salvation?
Is faith the work of the sinner or the work of God? I hope that my brother will attend to these three questions in his next speech.
I advance to my next argument, which is that all for whom Christ died will be eternally saved because the eternal perfection of all for whom Christ died is necessarily connected with his death for them. Did you get that? The eternal perfection of all for whom Christ died is necessarily connected with his death for them, in consequence of which all for whom he died will be eternally saved.
Heb. 10:14, "For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified." The sanctified mentioned in this passage are the ones that are sanctified by Go the Father as mentioned in Jude 1: "Sanctified by God the Father, preserved in Christ Jesus, and called." This sanctification precedes the calling, which proves it to be the setting apart in the eternal purpose of God, to his own use and service and glory. The sanctified ones are the ones for whom he made the one offering, who are therefore sanctified before he made offering. It is by the will or eternal purpose of God that they are sanctified or set apart to be represented by the one offering of Christ.
Heb. 10:5-10, "W when he cometh into the world, he saith, sacrifice and offering thou wouldst not, but a body hast thou prepared me; In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering, and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou would'st not, neither had'st pleasure therein; which are offered by the law; then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." By the eternal and unchangeable will of Jehovah those for whom Christ died were sanctified, and through the offering of the body of Christ for them this sanctification was made manifest. This offering was once for all, "for all" being in Italics. It means once for all time, never to be repeated, perfected forever those for whom he died, by fulfilling the law once perfectly for them.
(Time expired.)
Gentlemen Moderators, Ladies and Gentlemen:
I join with Brother Daily in his expressions concerning our friendship. I approve them. I also approve of his statement that we ought to listen as far as possible without prejudice, because if we don't listen without prejudice, we will not be benefited. I want to answer his questions and then hastily to notice some things besides. I want to thank him for giving me these questions in writing. First:
He answers my questions; that is, after a fashion.
"What is the penalty of sin?" "Death," he says. He is right about that. "Death in sins."
This was a sight: "Where do you learn that only elect persons die in infancy?" He says he believes that all that die in infancy are saved. That is about like I thought you'd answer. Because you think it. I don't want to find out what you think, but where you get the authority for your thought. His answer is he believes that all who die in infancy shall be saved!
"Why does God favor a non-elect person with long life and deny the same blessing to the elect?" "Because it seems good in God's sight," he answers.
"When Paul says 'Christ loved me and gave himself for me,' does he mean that Christ loved no one else and gave himself for nobody else?" He answers that "No." Then here is what I want to ask: When Paul says that Christ loved the church, and gave himself for it, it, does that mean that he loved nobody else and gave himself for nobody else but the church? I answer on the same principle that he answers here. It does not prove that he gave himself for no one else; unless this proves that he gave himself for nobody else but Paul.
"Would Christ have suffered any more, in dying for all of Adam's race than in dying for just one sinner?" He says he has no way of knowing! This man doesn't believe that Christ's suffering is immeasurable! It took infinite, immeasurable, the equivalent of eternal, suffering, to save one sinner. Could there be any more than that? No, sir. Then Christ would suffer just as much to save me as he would to save billions, as far as the quantity is concerned.
"Does God command every sinner, elect and non- elect, to repent?" He replies, "Can't repent without life." Why didn't you answer squarely; Yes or No? Paul says "God commandeth all men everywhere to repent."
Does God require every man, elect and non-elect, to seek him?" What did Paul mean when he said "God bath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation, that they should seek him," etc.? Acts 17:26, This says God made all nations of men that dwell on the face of the earth, "that they should seek him." Now Brother Daily says none but the elect are to seek him.
"Does God censure sinners, elect and non-elect for not believing on his Son?" He replies that the sinner is not blamed for not accepting Christ. Not blamed!
Put that down. This man that I am debating with says "there is no blame on a man fur not accepting Christ!"
"Can a man believe on Christ without believing that Christ died for him?" "The devils did." he says. The devils did no such thing. The devils didn't believe on Christ. They believed about him. There is a great deal of difference between believing on Christ and believing about him. Every Christian has learned that. That was a slip of the tongue, Brother Daily. Devils don't believe on Christ. He didn't answer my question. Can a man believe on Christ without believing that Christ died for him?"
"Is Christ offered to men, elect and non-elect, in the Bible?" Brother Daily's reply. "Not offered to any body." He is out of harmony with the Old London Confession.
Can you name a passage in the New Testament wherein the word "world" means only the elect he refers to 1st John 2:2, "He is the propitiation for our sins; and not for us only but also for the sins of the whole world.'' And he says that means the elect. Why does he say it? Not a bit of proof. He found it in that Book of Supposition. So much for the questions.
By the way, Brother Daily says I am not answering his arguments; that I am simply answering his proofs. I am going by the rules. "Rule 7. Whatever proofs may be advanced on either side should be examined with fairness and candor; and any attempt to answer an adversary by arts of sophistry, or to lesson the force of his reasoning by wit caviling or ridicule, is a violation of the rules of honorable controversy." This rule says that the rule is to do the very thing he says I am doing, examining his proofs. Now, where are you? Good bye. Your own rule.
But I have some more questions from him.
"Can a man be blamed for not accepting Christ who has never heard of him?" No, sir; he is not blamed for that, unless he could have heard of him. That is the truth. He is not to blame unless he could have heard. I don't see why anybody should laugh at that.
"Are heathens who never hear of Christ sent to hell for not accepting Christ?" No. sir; they are not. If they are sent to hell they are sent for their sins. Paul says they are without excuse, and if they sin against the light they have, that is why they are condemned. Not for rejecting Christ, but for sinning. Why my opponent seems to think that I hold that God was under obligations to send Christ into the world. I have never said anything like it. Christ came not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved.
He wants to know "if Christ is the Saviour of the damned in hell?" Yes, sir; he saved every one of them from the guilt of Adam's transgression. I have proved that by Rom. 5:18. Christ took Adam's sin away. They are not in hell for that. What is a Saviour? One who saves. Those are saved from the guilt of Adam's transgression.
Another question: "If faith is necessary to make Christ's death an atonement for sinners, is it necessary in order to an atonement for those who die without hearing the gospel?" In the case of all who have sinned actually the atonement cannot be received with out faith. And "faith comes by hearing."
He asks. "Would it be unjust to send any to hell without giving him a chance of heaven?" Without a chance? What do you say, Brother? I think God can do as he wills with his own! He is under no obligation to give chances.
Another question: "Is faith the work of the sinner?" No, sir. "This is the word of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."—Jno . vi, 29. But the sinner believes. Brother Daily, if God by his Spirit and truth—and this question will come up in the next proposition—if God by his Spirit and truth, leads the sinner to believe, who does the believing? He said this morning God does the drawing and the sinner does the coming. (And here he got off some thing a little like what is forbidden in the rules, but let it pass. He says the holy Spirit reveals to us that we have sinned, he makes you feel that you are guilty of sin when, according to your doctrine, Brother Daily, in this proposition, you are not guilty. The guilt was taken away before you were born. But he says the Holy Spirit reveals to the sinner that Christ atoned for him on the cross—that is to say, the Holy Spirit comes to a man and makes him believe that he is a sinner, and that he is guilty, and that he is dead in sins and on the way to hell, and then after a bit, he turns round and tells him, "No, that is a mistake! before you was born Christ paid your debt on the cross!" Don't you know such doctrine as that won't do? It is not only unscriptural, but unreasonable and contradictory.
He asks concerning the man in jail, "Must the debt be paid to get him out? May he continue on in jail after the debt is paid?" Yes, the debt must be paid to get him out; but I think it would be unjust to keep him after the debt is paid! His penalty, the debt, is paid, and just as soon as the forms that must be gone through with are met, he must be taken out, or he may prosecute the State for unlawful imprisonment. After the sin debt is paid in the Court of Heaven, if he remains under the curse two minutes, he is being punished for a debt that has already been paid, and is suffering unjustly, and that is the difficulty my opponent is under in this discussion He endeavors to make the death of Christ do on the cross what the application of the death does.
Brother Daily says a man believes because he has life. That is his assertion. My friend is getting tired of this proposition. I will give him plenty on the question of life before faith on the next proposition. I want you to just tear my arguments all to flinders if you can. I will not object.
He thinks I ought to get up and acknowledge that the weak brother in I. Cor., viii, 11, was one of God's saints who had sinned and perished. I guess that would look well to him! But how does it look for you, Brother Daily, to get up here and say that a brother for whom Christ died may perish? How does it look for you to say that a true saint may perish? I will turn you over to the Methodists.. I didn't know you believed in the possibility of a saint's final apostasy! This brother in I. Cor., x, 11, you say was one of the elect, a brother in Christ. So, if you are right, a child of God may perish—does perish. To escape this, he must show that to perish does not mean to be finally lost.
Speaking of I. Tim., ii, 1-6, Brother Daily says that the ransom is the payment of the price and that "all men" there doesn't mean all men. I think I showed the facts sufficiently as to this passage. Paul says Christ gave himself a ransom for all men;—he exhorts that prayer be made for all; he declares that God desires that all men be saved;—the same all in each case; that is my point! That same "all" that he wants prayer for, including such men as Nero, perhaps the wickedest ruler that ever lived or ever will live until the end of time, he would have to be saved! Christ says: "I would; you wouldn't." He says that, Brother. "I would; you wouldn't." That is what he said. What are you going to do about it? My opponent says, "According to that, that man's power is greater than God's power." That is not it at all; it is not God's will of determination in every case to accomplish his will of desire. He wills (desires) the salvation of all men, but he does not will (determine) the salvation of all men.
But this parable about the field that Jesus bought. My friend said Jesus didn't care for the field, but for the treasure. But he bought the field. He bought it by his death. If he did this to get the treasure, that proves the proposition on the chart is not true.
According to his argument he is saved by works. He says, "When I was willing to give up all that I might enjoy the, treasure!" That is to say, he bought it! "The kingdom of heaven, is like unto a man that sold all he had, etc., and bought a field." He gave up all he had in order to buy this blessing. What is that? Salvation by works? Brother Daily tells me that simply accepting a gift is working for it. Much more then, is selling all you have and then buying, a work.
Well, Harry Todd's book! And Harry joined the "Old School" Baptists after he was of age! I don't believe he was of age. Maybe he was, but I think the brother is mistaken, he quotes from this work of Brother Todd that God could condemn sinners without having Christ to die for them. Brother Daily you needn't argue that. God would have been just in condemning the race and in never having sent Christ, so far as justice is concerned.
Now he says in his fifteenth argument, that Christ's death was a full payment of the sinner's debt at the time. It was a full provision, but provision is not payment. That is it. I have shown you that Christ died and on the cross made provision; that Christ went through the veil through the resurrection, into the Most Holy Place, into the Heaven of Heavens and there made and makes the atonement. He didn't make it on the cross at all. My Brother steers as clear of the 16th of Leviticus as if it were not in the book.
Christ is surety for believers and Christ Covers the sins of believers, he does not cover the sins of all, because, though he tasted death for every man, yet there will be some lost. When does he cover their sins? When they believe. Just then, never before, as to actual transgressors.
Brother Daily says the Holy Spirit operates in an irresistible way on the man for whom Christ died. Let us try this. He died for you. What does the Holy Spirit want you to do? He wants you to do right in this thing, and in that thing and everything. Do you always do it? When you fail, you resist God's Spirit. If one of the elect can, why cannot another? Why not another? "The holy Spirit came into the world to reprove the world of sin, because they believe not on Christ. But his reproof is not irresistible.
Let me get to something else that I want to give you. I am very anxious to notice every proof—not necessarily every argument. but every proof. I think it is II. Cor., v. 21, that I have failed to examine. I want to examine that proof. Yes, here it is: "for he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might he made the righteousness of God in him." This passage does not indicate that Jesus died only for the elect. It says he was made sin for us. In this way, he became the propitiation for our sins.
This means that God is so satisfied with Jesus that he can offer pardon for the sins of transgressors. See 1. John. iv, 14, And Jesus said in John iii, 17, that he came not to condemn the world, but that the world through him might be saved." On this basis Paul speaks in II. Cur., v, 18-20, thus: "To—wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now, then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did be you by us, we pray you, in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God." And so in that same connection, here are these verses, II. Co., v, 14-15, "For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead; and that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again." All were dead, and he died for all the dead that they who obtain life "should not henceforth live unto themselves." Some for whom he died did not obtain life. They remain dead and are lost.
I want to notice 2nd Tim. 1:9 a little. "Who hath saved us and called us with an holy calling, not ac cording to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began." Yes, sir; believers are saved. They are called. Neither their salvation nor their calling is of works, but is according to God's purpose and grace which were in Christ before the world began. But how is this salvation? It did not take place when Jesus died; much less when the purpose was made. It took place when they believed. Before they believed they were like other people. Ephi. 1:1-3. But for all these other people Jesus died. He tasted death for every one.
Let us now turn to Heb. 10:10. "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all." Yes; by the will of God we are sanctified through the one sacrifice once offered. But when were we, actual sinners, sanctified? Not when the offering was made, but later on in our own life time. See 1st Cor. 6:10-11. "Nor thieves, nor covetous nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God, and such were some of you; but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." When did that take place? See Paul's commission, Acts 26:16-18. Paul was told to rise and stand upon his feet, and hear the purpose for which God was going to send him: "But rise, and stand upon thy feet; for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom I now send thee, to open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me." Here is the point. It is in this, that they received the forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. That is when it is. So are we sanctified by the will of God, through the death of Jesus once for all when we believe. Heb. 10:14, "For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified." By one offering those sanctified are perfected forever. But not before they believe. They are perfected forever the hour in which they first believe. I heard you all singing today:
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost—"
But you was never lost. Before you was born, Christ actually paid the debt you owe on the cross and you never was a sinner, never was lost! This is your doctrine, Brother Daily. Your peoples' hearts are better than your creed. So they sing the truth!
"I once was lost but now I'm found;
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear—"
What had you to be afraid of? Anything? That is in the song!
"Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believed."
That was when your debt was paid. That was when the sanctifying took place. Before that you was in sin, tinder sin and under wrath.
That subjunctive mode again. Brother Daily said this morning that it is not always that it means doubt. But he said the subjunctive was in 1st Peter 3:18 to prove that there was no doubt there. I want the brother to be consistent, but he cannot be even in grammar.
Now I want you to look again at the Tabernacle— See Lev. 14th chapter. The High Priest was to kill a bullock and a goat of sin offering, and he was to take the blood of these animals, after they were killed, into this Most Holy Place, where only the High Priest could, go, and there he made the atonement. Once every year the High Priest went into that place alone and with the blood made t atonement. And yet my brother is arguing that Christ our High Priest made the atonement on the cross and not in Heaven Itself where he went for us.
I wanted to read a few verses from this 16th chapter of Leviticus. I am rushing with these things, because there are some special points I want to get to. I desire to read especially the 30th verse: "For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the Lord." The difference between Brother Daily and Leviticus: Leviticus has the atonement made in the Most Holy Place and Brother Daily has it on the cross, without the camp where the victim was slain. "And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel, two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. And he shall take the two goats and present them before the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the scapegoat," verses 5-8. In the 11th verse: "And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an atonement for him self, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which is for himself," verse 11. The chapter then goes on and tells the ceremonies that he shall go through with; that "he shall put the incense within the vail"; and that "he shall put the incense upon the fire before the Lord; that the cloud of the in cense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not." That mercy seat is in the Most Holy Place. The High Priest was to take the blood and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat; and "before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times," verse 14. Then the record proceeds and tells that the blood of the goat of sin offering shall be taken within the vail and the same things be done with it for the people, and that there shall be no man in the Tabernacle until he comes out and have made atonement for himself and for his household and for all the congregation of Israel. Read verses 15-17. This whole argument is to show that the atonement took place and takes place not on the cross but in Heaven itself. Christ is the victim; Christ's blood is the blood shed; Christ is the High Priest that takes the blood into the Most Holy Place, Heaven itself, and there makes the atonement, as I have shown you, first for himself, then for the Adamic race, which means all men as to Adam's sin, and is making it as the years pass for every one who believes. That is the sum and substance of it.
I think it would be well here if I again turn to and read Paul's description of the Tabernacle and its service as found in Heb. 9:18. Here it is: "Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary. For there was a tabernacle made, the first, wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and the show-bread; which is called the sanctuary. And after the second veil, the tabernacle which is called the Holiest of all; which had the golden censor, and the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein was the golden pot that had manna, and Aaron rod that budded, and the tables of the covenant. And over it the cherubims of glory shadowing the mercy seat; of which we cannot now speak particularly. Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God. But into the second went the high priest alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people; the Holy Ghost thus signifying that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing."

Vascular Treatments
Banner Health vascular specialists offers our patients effective treatment for any type of vascular disease.
In addition to medication and lifestyle support, we offer a complete range of treatment options for our vascular patients: standard open surgery, minimally invasive surgeries, endovascular therapies and robotic-assisted surgeries.
Our treatments cover a wide range of vascular diseases and conditions including:
- Aneurysms
- Aortic surgery
- Carotid artery disease
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Peripheral artery disease/ Peripheral vascular disease
- Embolization: Minimally invasive treatment that places medications through a catheter into a blood vessel to prevent blood flow to the area.
- Open surgical repair - The vascular surgeon makes an incision to access the aneurysm and then a graft (a manmade, synthetic material) is sewn into place to replace the weakened segment of the artery to keep it from rupturing.
- Endovascular endograft (stent graft) repair - Less invasive than an open surgical repair
Surgical treatments:
- Aortic dissection repair - Performed when there is tear in the wall of the aorta, typically in an emergency situation. The surgeon repairs the torn portion to stop the bleeding and may use grafts and/or replace the aortic valve.
- Minimally invasive valve surgery - The surgeon makes a two-inch to three-inch long incision in the patient's chest to reach the damaged valve and then repairs the valve or replaces it with a new one using endoscopic techniques.
- Open aortic valve surgery - Typically done with an open-heart surgery. The surgeon makes a large incision in the breastbone to reach the patient's heart. Usually the patient is put on the heart-lung bypass machine while the surgeon either repairs the valve or replaces it with a new one.
Carotid artery disease: When plaque builds up in your carotid arteries that supply blood to your brain. Build up can cause clots, which can lead to a stroke.
Surgical treatments:
- Carotid stenting: Doctors place a stent, a small mesh support tube, at the site of the blockage in the carotid artery. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. The stent is inserted via a small incision in the femoral artery in the groin and threaded through the blood vessels to the area of blockage. Once the catheter reaches the blockage, surgeons expand the stent by inflating a balloon.
- Carotid endarterectomy: Surgeons make an incision into the blocked section of the artery, and remove the plaque deposit. Performed under general anesthesia
Deep vein thrombosis: Causes inflammation in the deep veins as well as blood clots. Usually occurs in the legs.
- Thrombectomy - Surgeons remove any clots by placing a catheter (long, narrow tube) into a vein that allows access to the blood clot. Once the clot is seen, the surgeon will either remove it or inject medications to dissolve it (thrombolysis).
- Inferior vena cava filter- if a patient can't take blood thinners, surgeons may place an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter to catch a clot, preventing a possible pulmonary embolism from occurring.
Peripheral artery disease/ Peripheral vascular disease: Plaque builds up in the arteries that carry blood to your head, organs, and limbs. Also known as peripheral vascular disease
- Bypass Grafting: Your surgeon uses a blood vessel from another part of your body or a man-made tube to make a graft that creates a bypass around the blocked part of the artery.
- Angioplasty: A catheter (thin tube) with a balloon at the tip is inserted into a blocked artery. The balloon is then inflated, which pushes plaque outward against the artery wall. This widens the artery and restores blood flow. Considered minimally invasive.
- Stenting: A stent (a small mesh tube) may be placed in the artery during angioplasty. A stent helps keep the artery open after angioplasty is done. Some stents are coated with medicine to help prevent blockages in the artery. Considered minimally invasive
- Atherectomy: A catheter is used to insert a small cutting device into the blocked artery. The device is used to shave or cut off plaque. Doctors also can do atherectomy using a special laser that dissolves the blockage.

The Industry Contrarian is a segment written by Pratik Bose Pramanik chronicling his reflexive contrary feelings towards multi-billion dollar industries and the silly mistakes they make in product and service design.
Nobody would venture to call me a big fan of the iPad. A market of 55+ million likes it. I like it too but I personally feel it's very far from the end-all-be-all of what tablet computing will become. So if Apple still has work to do, then the rest of the industry can't rest on it's laurels and churn out the current iterations of the tablet computer.
Why? Because they really don't understand how to create a story for tablet computing that's relatable to real users. As a result, their tablets are designed to impress consumers who simply don't exist; likely they weren't designed with consumers in mind at all.
Case in point, Microsoft's Surface. The Surface is Microsoft's attempt to show its OEM exactly how it wants its new Windows 8 operating system to be used. During the unveiling I immediately covered my mouth in embarrassment on Microsoft's behalf. They created this:
I was a bit puzzled by the sheer lack of confidence the device exuded. Looking at it, I felt it was saying "Don't hold me, use the kick stand." "Don't touch me, use the keyboard."
Instead of crystallizing a vision of the next generation of the its products, Microsoft seems incapable of learning from the recent success of its competitors, former designers and its own 11 years of experience in the tablet industry. It felt less like "Let's crystallize the ultimate experience for the next generation of Microsoft" and more like "let's one-up the iPad specwise and run Windows on it." Faster desktop-grade processors, kickstand, keyboards, full-size legacy ports, magnesium, desktop OS. Every bit of their presentation felt like I was being read a three page long specifications sheet. No stories were being told. As a company, they are averse to post-PC, post-Office visions and the Surface makes it show. What is disappointing is that nothing is stopping Microsoft from creating powerful stories outside the desktop experience as they did with the Courier.
What is even more disappointing is their allergic reaction to story-driven experiences that led to the Courier designers to create their own company, FiftyThree. The company ostracized these extremely talented individuals for trying to move Microsoft's vision of computing away from the Office and enterprise-centric view of the 90′s. In 2010, Microsoft demonstrated that they are completely incapable of understanding when they have something that resonates with people by cancelling the Courier project. And now, in 2012, FiftyThree's Paper moves iPads and (who would have thunk) high-end styli off shelves; all while bringing in a healthy cut for the App Store's proprietors. Apple is eating their lunch with their former people, without having to pay those people. Apple is doing this with a device that has most of its development roots in a smartphone, another market where Microsoft had talented people and traction to do something amazing. Users don't relate to spec sheets, they don't even buy into what's cool. They have to be able to place themselves into a story as the protagonist and that's why things like this
present real message problems to the consumer. They read things such as this and can't say "I like hands off entertainment in my life." They can say "I'm capturing my memories clearer than ever." So, yes, a lot of this is marketing. The difference is that there is such a disconnect between the design, engineering and marketing in Microsoft's strategy that you get downright stupid phrases like "hands off entertainment" written in light-faced Calibri. The marketing team doesn't understand the story the design team was building around; so engineering creates a device with enough specs a marketing content strategist can fit into a well-kerned document. Apple's messages come across so clearly because they use the words in their marketing material at the very genesis of a product. This is why the Microsoft, Google and the OEMs have been and are still hitting a wall with tablets; their products don't have believable stories in the marketing materials because they created them after the product is done.
Microsoft's problem is shared by the rest of the industry. They fail to make that empathetic connection with end consumers that allow them to understand serious concerns about new tablets (and products in general). The general population has only just gotten used to regular computers and now something new is being pushed onto them while being told they aren't cool if they don't have one. That's not very nice and the people who buy these products develop remorse; they don't appreciate you for inconveniencing them and show it by buying competitor's goods. Computer companies need to stop talking about tablets and start thinking about customers. Think about how these devices will sit beside the laptop, cell phones and mp3 players they have grown to love rather than creating a foreign ecosystem to drag them into. Think about the designers and engineers sitting on your campuses struggling to get funding for a project that really speaks to the public. Think about how those designers feel when they are cut off because your vestigial enterprise-solutions branch is afraid of the impact a new paradigm will have. Think about the joy those designers get when they freely develop what they wanted on your competitor's platform.
These companies need people who think in contrast to the current paradigm within the company. Only then will you see how a product addresses problems that are real and how it will grow organically into people's lives. You can't force a mish-mash of your existing, unsuccessful products and services into a novel form factor and expect it to stick. If consumers don't like something you did previously, they need to see that you are doing something contrary to what failed. And I'm very disappointed in the tech blogs who drooled over the Surface. They should know better as well. They fell for the hype; be objective!

Anoka-Ramsey Community College released the results of a Wilder Research study that estimates the economic impact of Anoka-Ramsey on the regional economy to be $327 million dollars and 3,235 jobs.
"We see every day the impact Anoka-Ramsey operations students support local and state-wide business and industry," says Anoka-Ramsey Community College president Dr. Jessica Stumpf. "But it is validating to see the fact in the details of this report supporting the college's impact."
Jose Diaz, research scientist for Wilder, notes in the report, "By educating its students, Anoka-Ramsey Community College enhances the productivity of both public and private organizations in Minnesota. Its alumni provide the skills and knowledge needed to improve the functioning of many organizations in the state."
The study further estimates that for every $1,000 produced in the Twin Cities, $17 are directly or indirectly related to Anoka-Ramsey Community College. The sources of these direct and indirect impacts are the institution's operations ($93 million), students' expenditures ($233 million), and Anoka-Ramsey Community College investments ($266,308).
On a statewide level, the Wilder study shows the seven state universities and 24 community and technical colleges that comprise the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system:
In addition to the impact outlined above, the enhanced productivity of MnSCU graduates across the state is equivalent to $4.7 billion of future value created each year.

The Vancouver Web Fest was Canada's first festival to celebrate both International and local web series. Founded by executive director, Suzette Laqua, in 2013 when her then current project, Last Chance Casting, became an official selection at the 2013 LA Web Fest.
After the realization that there wasn't a festival for web series in Canada, Suzette did a little more research and made the decision to bring a web fest home to Vancouver.
On Friday, May 2nd, 2014, at the Imperial Vancouver, red carpet rolled out, velvet ropes strategically placed around the Step and Repeat, photographers snapped shots of each guest upon their arrival like the paparazzi.
The evening was a huge success with a fantastic turnout, including visitors and guests from around the globe, thanks to the hard work and organizational expertise of Suzette, her VWF team, and their volunteers.
Entertainment included the comedy stylings of comedian Morgan Brayton, which were followed by raffles and a performance by songstress, Rachael Chatoor. Music and dancing continued on into the early hours of the next morning.

Reasons for unemployment in 2002
January 30, 2003
The share of the unemployed made up of job losers and those who had completed temporary jobs rose to 54.7 percent in 2002 from 50.8 in 2001.
The increase in share was entirely among permanent job losers. Their share of the total number unemployed rose by about six percentage points to 32.1 percent. Shares of unemployment edged down among workers on temporary layoff and persons who completed temporary jobs.
In each of the other categories shown on the chart, the share of unemployed also declined in 2002. Reentrants accounted for 28.5 percent of the unemployed in 2002, down from 30.1 percent the year before. Job leavers made up 10.4 percent of the unemployed last year, compared with 12.3 percent in 2001. The share accounted for by new entrants was 6.5 percent in 2002, compared with 6.7 percent in 2001.
These data are from the Current Population Survey. More information on reasons for unemployment in 2002 can be found in Table 27 of the January 2003 Employment and Earnings.

The BBC has posted a video looking at Leica's history, on the German company's 100-year anniversary. The very first Leica camera was designed in 1914 by engineer Oskar Barnack, who refined the basic design through multiple iterations, leading all the way to today's digital M-mount rangefinders. In the video, photojournalist and long-time Leica user Tom Stoddart shares his thoughts on the company, and on some of the classic images that have been captured on Leica cameras over the past 100 years.

Louis Armstrong & Duke Ellington: Black and Tan Fantasy
Black and Tan Fantasy
Louis Armstrong (trumpet, vocals) and Duke Ellington (piano)
The Great Summit: The Master Takes (Blue Note)
Louis Armstrong (trumpet, vocals), Duke Ellington (piano), Trummy Young (trombone), Barney Bigard (clarinet),
Mort Herbert (bass), Danny Barcelona (drums).
Composed by Duke Ellington & Bubber Miley.
Recorded: New York, April 3-4, 1961
Rating: 100/100 (learn more)
In the movie Amadeus, Salieri speaks about the perfection of Mozart's music, saying: "And music finished as no music is ever finished. Displace one note and there would be diminishment; displace one phrase and the structure would fall."
That reminds me of this version of "Black and Tan Fantasy." The track is simply perfect; not one note can be displaced. Beyond its sheer architectural perfection, this recording and the song in this form achieve genuine greatness in musical art. Indeed, if forced – on penalty of having to listen constantly for a month to Barry Manilow – to pick the single greatest piece of American music and recorded performance of that work in the 20th century, this track would get my vote.
Surprisingly, these two greatest figures in jazz history had not recorded together before as featured performers, although both appeared on a single song for an Esquire All Star recording in 1946. This album, however, joined these two giants at the height of their mature mastery, and added two of their best-ever respective sidemen: clarinet virtuoso Barney Bigard (who played with the Ellington band from 1928 into the '40s) and trombone master Trummy Young (who played with Armstrong's All Stars for years). They all knew this Ellington music and Armstrong's playing in their bones, and reveled in making supreme renditions of Duke's pieces.
It is instructive to compare Duke's October 26, 1927 recording with this 1961 track. The newer version goes beyond polishing a diamond in the rough; the original, with various sound effects tried, instruments jumping in here and there, etc., is utterly transformed into an ultimate masterpiece of musical art. In fact, given their important improvised contributions, Armstrong especially, as well as Bigard and Young, in this instance ought to be considered co-composers along with Ellington and Bubber Miley.
Duke starts things off with an intense, fortissimo, march-like piano line, then quiets down to set the scene for Armstrong's dramatic entry (displaying the first of the exceptional dynamics in this track). Armstrong plays the opening theme in majestic manner at a stately tempo with his inimitable tone; Satch's lines are harmonically complemented to perfection by Young's muted and subtle trombone work. Ellington then elegantly restates the theme with flair, followed by Bigard's clarinet with one of his trademark parts, opening with keening high notes only to sublimely swoop down to the lower register, bringing out the richest, woodiest clarinet tone.
A continuation of Ellington's earlier section leads into Armstrong's keynote part. Here we have Satch displaying his finest tone, attack, creative interval leaps, and phrasing. His playing is stunning, with magnificent climbing and descending lines couched in an impressive overall structural coherence, exquisite accents falling in just the right places. In all of music, it is hard to find lines as breathtakingly stirring as Armstrong's here, especially the opening phrase. Thereafter, this impressive work continues, including Trummy Young's elegant version of the old growl trombone at one point, and Bigard playing even finer clarinet, his pure notes creatively mixed with fluttering tones that add texture, and incorporating more striking, swooping lines that amount to exquisite modern art. They famously end with a quote from Chopin's Funeral March.

Excellent Ginkgo-GotuKola-Siberian Ginseng formula
Posted by RubiesHealth on Apr 23, 2013
This excellent combination is hard to come by. Ginkgo and Gotu Kota work synergistically to improve blood circulation to the brain. Thus they also enhance the efficacy of supplements you are taking for eye and sinus health. However, together they have a tendency to lower blood pressure (a bonus for high blood pressure condition but not good for low blood pressure individuals), so with the addition of Siberian ginseng, which is an adaptogen, this formula helps the body adjust to a healthy blood pressure. This is a great product for stressful lifestyle that involves mental strain. Also helpful in vertigo. Initial period of low-intensity headache and blood pressure changes is not unusual. Once blood circulation improves and the body adapts, the benefit will be experienced.
Potent Ginkgo Product
Posted by Reviewer1236145 on Apr 15, 2008
A conveniently packaged way of getting a double-dose of Ginkgo Biloba, which is a blood thinner. Ginkgo Biloba improves the dispersion of minerals and herbs that are taken at the same time. Do not take ANY Ginkgo Biloba product in Mega-doses, as excessive bleeding can result. Take care (ask a doctor) if you are taking any other blood thinners (even aspirin).

Ginkgo Biloba is one of the most researched and well known brain herbs. Ginkgo Biloba is a powerful antioxidant, that reduce free radical damage to the brain and as well as increases blood flow and oxygenation to our brain. In the process, more nutrients are accessible by our brain as well. Gota Kola is known for improving mental function such as memory, concentration. It also aids in calming and relaxing the mind. Eleuthero is an adaptogen and is known to boost our energy and endurance to cope with stress. It also increases oxygen level in our blood. The combined benefits are improved memory, increased alertness, sharpness and concentration power, calm and relax the mind, improve mental energy and help to lift brain fog. It can reverse some of the symptoms of neurodegenerative diseases. It contains significant amount of Gingko (120 mg), as compared to 60 mg most commonly in most similar products. It is recommended to take 2 capsules to get at least 240 mg of Ginkgo. I use 4 daily (2 per meal) so this bottle can last almost 2 months. The capsules are vegetarian, not too big and easy to swallow. Stearic acid is used as flow agent. It is a common ingredient found in food and it's better than using magnesium stearate. Another factor is to note is that the Gotu Kola and Eleuthero are not extracts so the strength is unknown. As for the price, it is quite reasonable, considering that your brain is used every second and under great stress! Check out my page for more reviews!
