Why don't you quit tithing?
by Leon King
"Will a man rob God?" the preacher declared as he went into his discourse on tithing. He continued, "Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings."
Several years ago, the writer heard a preacher expounding his ideas on this subject. He had accumulated a series of witty sayings on the matter. He said, "Abraham started it; Jacob promised it; the law commanded it; Jesus commended it; and Paul said, 'Even so, do ye.'" That's catchy and motivating, but it's hardly the whole truth.
In his latter teen years, the writer began to hear such statements from the pulpit. These were strange sounds. As the years passed, he has heard it more and more. Perhaps in moving from an agrarian society to one that is more cash oriented, the emphasis has switched. The older preachers told the writer that Baptists did not preach tithing for New Testament believers until about the beginning of the twentieth century! Taking this as a cue, he has looked extensively at old sermons, practices, and procedures. Tithing was scarcely mentioned except by Catholics and some protestants until the 1900's. J. C. Philpot preached no sermon on this subject that is left to us that the writer has found so far. John Gill did not believe tithing was a command to New Testament believers. Charles Spurgeon never preached a sermon on tithing that this writer can find. He did mention it in passing three or four times in the volumes of his sermons over a forty-year period. Many Baptist preachers mention it forty times in one sermon in our day!
Here are some thoughts the writer wishes to share with you on this subject.
I. Tithing is of the Law.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier <matters> of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. -- Matthew 23:23.
And verily they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take [tithes] of the people according to the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come out of the loins of Abraham: -- Hebrews 7:5.
In Matthew 23:23, Jesus is speaking a scathing condemnation to the scribes and Pharisees regarding matters of the law. To say that He doesn't include tithing as being part of the law is not the truth. It is true that Jesus infers that they should pay their tithes - and, of course they should, because these were unbelieving Jews, still under the Law Covenant.
Most folks argue that the tithing issue which is first mentioned with Abraham provides a mandate for us. Let us see.
II. Abraham did not Tithe of his increase.
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he <was> the priest of the most high God. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed <be> Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. And the king of Sodom said unto Abram, Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself. And Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have lift up mine hand unto the LORD, the most high God, the possessor of heaven and earth, That I will not <take> from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that <is> thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:" -- Genesis 14:18-23.
If this were the only Scripture we had on the matter, the argument for tithing for everyone would have validity. We are not left there. Notice:
Now consider how great this man <was>, unto whom even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the spoils." -- Hebrews 7:4.
It is abundantly clear from that Abraham gave nothing of his increase. He gained nothing in terms of material wealth from the spoils of war. Indeed, he refused to take anything, not even a shoelatchet! He did, though, give a tenth (tithe) of the spoils to Melchizedek. The pattern people try to present about Abraham doesn't fit the modern idea of compulsory New Testament tithing. Abraham didn't tithe his increase, but tithed the spoils. Will you advocate people do that?
What about Jacob's promise? Let's look at it.
And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, So that I come again to my father's house in peace; then shall the LORD be my God: And this stone, which I have set <for> a pillar, shall be God's house: and of all that thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee. -- Genesis 28:20-22.
Jacob's statement is an "if - then" vow. Why did he promise to give a tenth? I do not know any more than you do. There may be some validity in the thinking that Jacob knew before hand that He "should give a tithe." The problem is, that we have no statement from the scripture to substantiate this thinking. One man's opinion is as good as another man's opinion. Jacob's name was later changed to Israel. He was the natural father of God's covenant nation which received the law. We have already shown that tithing is of the law. I suggest to you that God held Jacob and his descendants, the Israelites, to the vow.
III. Believers are not under the law.
For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. -- Romans 6:14
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: -- Romans 8:3.
Wherefore then <serveth> the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; <and it was> ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. -- Galatians 3:19.
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster <to bring us> unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. -- Galatians 3:24-25.
But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. -- Galatians 5:18.
When Christ, the seed, came and died on the cross, we were set free from the law. Indeed were are now dead to the law through the body of Christ.
-- Romans 7:2-4.
For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to <her> husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of <her> husband. So then if, while <her> husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man. Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, <even> to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Christ freed us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us. We are made the righteousness of God in him. "For he hath made him <to be> sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him." -- 2 Corinthians 5:21.
We know the law was not made for a righteous man. The purpose of the law was that sin might appear exceeding sinful. The law points out our utter depravity and points us to the cross where He who fulfilled every jot and tittle of the law died to set us free.
IV. New Testament giving is not tithing, but as a man purposes in his heart.
"But this <I say>, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, <so let him give>; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." -- 2 Corinthians 9:6-7.
Instances of New Testament giving are mainly to help poor saints. Today, we have bound ourselves to the tithing program for things and programs that God never intended. Because of that, preachers want (knowingly or unknowingly) to keep people under a mandate or law to give of their wealth. It's not right! Set them free! We, as believers, are free to grow in the Spirit. Notice the passage from 2 Corinthians.
It says "Every man as he purposeth in his heart - not grudgingly, or of necessity." Now, will you say the command to tithe is not a necessity? You won't say it - because when you say a person must tithe, it is a necessity! You are preaching an obligation. Indeed, most preachers say a person is robbing God when they do not tithe! Applying Scripture to the people to whom it is written is a very important concept in Bible teaching. Wrong application of Scripture leads to false doctrine. Commanding people in the New Testament Church to tithe is false doctrine. There is no place in the New Testament where the Lord commanded believers to tithe.
This preacher believes in giving. He believes in giving sacrificially. He believes in giving of his living when there is a need. When we as New Testament saints commit ourselves to a project in the church, then we ought to support it. We ought to help one another when there are needs. We ought to do it joyfully, without grudging, and in complete liberty like everything else we do. Believers are free to serve the Lord as His servants. He is Lord and we are bound to keep his commandments. He never commanded us to tithe!
We are free from the law to grow spiritually. That includes giving of our means. Now I wish to show what the New Testament teaches church members about giving wealth. To illustrate that God intends for his people to give as they purpose in their heart:
-- 2 Corinthians 9:6-7.
But this <I say>, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, <so let him give>; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Now, let us put these two verses in their proper context. My instructors told me there are three very important points to Bible study. They are (1) context, (2) context, and (3) context! Baptists may have coined the saying "A text without a context is a pretext." The context of 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 begins in chapter 8, verse 1. As the Apostle Paul writes to the Corinthians, he is pointing out the need for them to help provide for the needs of the poor saints in Jerusalem. 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 tells us the churches in Macedonia had given toward this need even in their deep poverty. The instructions and encouragement to the Corinthians continue to the end of chapter 9. The context points out an important truth about New Testament giving.
V. New Testament Giving was Mainly to Help Other Saints.
For to <their> power, I bear record, yea, and beyond <their> power <they were> willing of themselves; Praying us with much entreaty that we would receive the gift, and <take upon us> the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. -- 2 Corinthians 8:3-4. In its context, this scripture speaks of what the churches of Macedonia gave to help the saints in Jerusalem.
For <I mean> not that other men be eased, and ye burdened: But by an equality, <that> now at this time your abundance <may be a supply> for their want, that their abundance also may be <a supply> for your want: that there may be equality: As it is written, He that <had gathered> much had nothing over; and he that <had gathered> little had no lack. -- 2 Corinthians 8:13-15.
For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: -- 2 Corinthians 9:1.
For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for <your> liberal distribution unto them, and untoall <men>; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. -- 2 Corinthians 9:12-14.
All three of the preceding passages explain the reason for taking the offerings at Corinth. It was for the expressed purpose of ministering or serving other saints of God. Let us now turn to the other New Testament books beginning with the book of Acts to learn what the Scriptures show about giving of material wealth. First mention of this subject is in Acts 2:43-44.
And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all <men>, as every man had need." -- Acts 2:44-45. This passage points out that giving in the first church was for the needs of one another. The next mention of giving is in the fourth chapter.
And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any <of them> that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common. And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold, And laid <them> down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need. And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, <and> of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold <it>, and brought the money, and laid <it> at the apostles' feet. -- Acts 4:32-37.
In the fifth chapter of Acts, we see the episode about Ananias and Sapphira who sold a possession and gave part of the price of it. They lied about what they had done. The purpose already established remains true here - helping other saints. We are certain that nobody commanded them to give it. Neither necessity, nor compelling command was upon them. Their problem was that they lied about what they had done.
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, And kept back <part> of the price, his wife also being privy <to it>, and brought a certain part, and laid <it>, at the apostles' feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back <part> of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. -- Acts 5:1-4.
As far as I can discern, the next time we learn about giving in Acts, Paul speaks to the Ephesian elders expressing his attitude toward finances this way: "I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive." -- Acts 20:33-35. Thus, ends the topic in the book of Acts.
The Roman letter gives us a little more insight into the topic. "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think <of himself> more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, <being> many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another." -- Romans 12:3-5.
Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, <let him do it> with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that showeth mercy, with cheerfulness."-- Romans 12:8. This passage teaches that one gift the Lord placed in the church was the gift of giving. That means there are people whom God places in the body who possess special ability to give. It is a gift to the body. The Lord sets some folks in the church who are there especially to give. At this point, we might ask ourselves the question that Paul asks concerning spiritual gifts in 1 Corinthians 12. We believe as we transpose the terms, it will do no damage to the meaning of the scripture, but will make the point clear. Are all prophets? Are all ministers? Are all teachers? Do all exhort? Do all give? Do all rule? Do all have the gift of showing mercy? The answer demanded by each of these questions is: No.
In the fifteenth chapter of Romans, we find insight into the offerings from Macedonia and Corinth which were taken for the saints in Jerusalem. Notice:
-- Romans 15:25-27.
But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints. For it hath pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem. It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.
This passage tells us that the recipients of spiritual things have a duty to minister unto those from whom they receive them, their carnal things. In other words, when we receive benefit from preaching of the word of God, we ought to aid those who preach it by giving our material wealth. This is the second point. New Testament giving was to further the gospel. We will venture a few notes on this topic a bit farther on.
First Corinthians touches lightly on the topic of giving. Again, the instructions address the ministering to the saints. Observe: "Now concerning the collection for the saints, as I have given order to the churches of Galatia, even so do ye. Upon the first <day> of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as <God> hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come." -- 1 Corinthians 16:1-2. This preacher has no objection to people laying by in store as God has prospered upon the first day of the week. Offering aid to the saints is the subject of this passage. It goes no further. Now, let's turn to the next point.
VI. New Testament Giving was for the Futherance of the Gospel.
We have already mentioned Second Corinthians 8 and 9. Let us glean the other remarks concerning giving as they relate to the furtherance of the gospel. "Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely? I robbed other churches, taking wages <of them>, to do you service. And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all <things> I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and <so> will I keep <myself>. -- 2 Corinthians 11:7-9.
For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other churches, except <it be> that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. -- 2 Corinthians 12:13-15. Can anyone doubt these remarks are rebukes to the Corinthian Church for not having financially supported Paul in the ministry? It was their duty to do so and he made it quite plain.
Galatians and Ephesians do not address the issue of giving. The final chapter of Philippians clearly speaks about support of Paul's ministry. Notice:
But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at the last your care of me hath flourished again; wherein ye were also careful, but ye lacked opportunity. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, <therewith> to be content. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction. Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things <which were sent> from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God. -- Philippians 4:10-18.
The interesting word "communicate" is set forth here concerning the use of wealth. Communicate denotes sharing with others who need, while communicated in verse 15 expresses using in common.
First and Second Thessalonians are silent about giving, but the idea of communication resumes in First Timothy.
-- Luke 21:1-4.
And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
Since I have already said a word or two about the tithing issue in Matthew 23, this is about all that remains in the gospels. Two points are left with us. Reaping is directly proportional to sowing. New Testament giving relates to what is left (or maybe what is not left), not what we give. Giving of a person's living is the widow's mite. She gave it freely. It was not a tithe. That brings us to the final point.
VII. If Tithing is not Commanded to the New Testament Church, Why do Preachers say it is?
In this article, the writer has tried to show that the New Testament does not contain a single command to church members to tithe. To preach tithing as a commandment to God's people today is to apply the Scriptures where tithing is mentioned wrongfully to New Testament Saints. God commanded Israel to tithe under the law. He said Israel was cursed for not bringing tithes and offerings. He never said that to his New Testament Church.
The writer has written this article to encourage God's people to give freely. His contention is that our service to the Lord ought to be prompted by spiritual obedience and freedom instead of law. We are free from the law by the body of Christ that we might bring forth fruit unto him. We ought to observe everything the Lord commanded. He did not command us to tithe, nor did the New Testament writers. The writers objects to being told (by mis-application of the Scripture) that if he didn't tithe, He was cursed with a curse. It simply is not true! He refuses to preach it to God's people as one of the commandments of the Lord in the church. Through the years, He has seen the Lord's people take care of financial obligations without this unscriptural coercion. Love does what law could not!
If a church member purposes to give ten-percent of his increase, that is his privilege. And as he sows, so shall he reap. One who sows abundantly shall reap abundantly. One who sows sparingly shall reap sparingly.
"Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:
So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." -- Proverbs 3:9,10.
"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again." -- Luke 6:38.

Pop-up artist David A. Carter at the Dallas Museum of Art's Late Nights
For one of my final projects as a graphic design student I decided to make a pop-up book. Spending hours upon hours cutting and pasting and playing with paper just sounded like a blast. And researching how to construct the mechanics was just as much fun as I perused children's sections of libraries and bookstores re-discovering the joy a pop-up book brings.
It was in a small corner of a Half-Price Books where I became consciously aware of David A. Carter. Among all the pop-up books on the shelf, it was evident he was the master who understood how to do so much with so little. I ended up buying his Blue 2, bringing it home, and deconstructed it page by page — except for a few that were too beautiful to destroy.
Carter, who also created pop-up adaptations of Horton Hears a Who! and Oh, The Places You'll Go, is giving a talk at 7 p.m. Friday, March 18, at the Dallas Museum of Art's Horchow Auditorium in celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday and the Center for Creative Connections. And I totally recommend you go, because he's giving a pop-up workshop in the Tech Lab afterward! Then at 9 p.m. he's signing books in the C3. The Late Nights event is free and open to the public, with the $10 general admission.

Fans of classical music have reason to celebrate this summer.
A new partnership between High Plains Public Radio and the Amarillo Symphony Orchestra will allow sweet sounds to wash over the prairie.
The idea is to take some of the best performances by the Amarillo Symphony and the Harrington String Quartet and broadcast them to listeners across the High Plains.
On the dial
What: Amarillo Symphony Presents
When: Noon and 7 p.m. Mondays through Aug. 28th
HPPR is heard in the Texas Panhandle on KJJP 105.7 FM in Amarillo, KTOT 89.5 FM in Spearman, Perryton,Pampa, Borger, Canadian and Dumas and KTXP 91.5 FM in Bushland. The station is also available on translators 94.9 FM in Amarillo and at 91.3 FM in Washburn, Claude and Panhandle.
"Amarillo Symphony Presents" will be hosted by HPPR's Jill Christie and produced by Carlos Casso at Audio Refinery in Amarillo.
HPPR Executive Director Rick Hicks said the station is thrilled about the partnership with the Amarillo Symphony.
In addition to the music, "Amarillo Symphony Presents" will feature anecdotes and reflections by Symphony Music Director and Conductor James Setapen as well as ASO musicians and guest artists.
Casso said the program will give even dedicated symphony fans new insight.
"We're not just going to talk about who Tchaikovsky was married to when he composed his fourth symphony; we're going to hear from the violinist who made her professional debut playing that piece. 'Amarillo Symphony Presents' will give listeners a chance to know more about ASO musicians and have a sense of what life is like in a professional symphony," Casso said.
Nathan Newbrough, symphony executive director credited the entire project to ASO musicians.
"For our musicians to make these recordings available for broadcast is an act of incredible generosity," Newbrough said.
"We're particularly pleased that we can showcase our musicians throughout the entire HPPR listening area.
"Now everyone can get to know these fine players and hear their wonderful performances."
"Amarillo Symphony Presents" debuts on June 5 and will air at noon and 7 p.m. every Monday through Aug. 28.

Especially for simpler, quick to deploy cases. Exactly, and now that I am using it, I see some other benefits in applying this scheme to the resources associated to the namespace.

A version-specific NS URI could resolve directly to the schema. In my case, the namespace URIs do point on RDDL documents that have an "history" section. This section is not yet RDDL "enabled", but I'll update it defining the different releases mentioned in this section as RDDL resources and a RDDL application could find here the information it would need to take decisions about the versions.

2014 Kentucky Derby Festival schedule will break from tradition
UPDATED 2:02 PM EDT May 22, 2013
The 2014 Kentucky Derby Festival schedule will include some breaks from tradition.
The big kickoff, the Thunder Over Louisville air-show and fireworks, is set for Saturday, April 12.
That's three weeks before the Kentucky Derby, rather than the usual two weeks prior to the run for the roses.
The marathon and mini marathon will also take place one week earlier, on Saturday, April 19, two weeks before Derby.

Increasingly, arthroscopic shoulder surgery is being performed as a day case procedure. In this setting, optimal post-operative pain relief is the goal. This not only improves patient comfort and allows expedient discharge from hospital, but also reduces the risk of developing post-operative chronic pain and may improve surgical outcome1–4.
Optimal post-operative pain control in day-case surgery remains a challenge5. There is considerable variation in the level of post-operative pain experienced between individuals and subsequent analgesia requirements. Previous studies have attempted to predict the level of acute post-operative pain an individual will experience, using a variety of complex pre-operative pain and psychological assessments6,7. Other investigators have focussed on a simpler approach, by testing an individual's pain threshold to a single pre-operative nociceptive stimulus, e.g. heat or pressure8–11. An increase in pain sensitivity in these pre-operative experimental tests appears to correlate with a higher level of post-operative pain and an increased risk of developing persistent post-operative pain12. Electrocutaneous stimulation has also been shown to be a reliable and safe method for assessment of pain and sensory thresholds6,13–18. The technique has previously been used as a predictive tool in the Obstetric surgery setting using the Pain Matcher® (Cefar Medical AB, Lund, Sweden)19.
The Pain Matcher is a small hand held device that has been validated against the visual analogue scale (VAS) for reliable pain assessment in patients with a range of acute and chronic pain, as well as for pre-operative pain threshold assessment19–24. When the contact pads on the Pain Matcher are gripped between the thumb and forefinger, the device delivers a small, micro-processor controlled, non-harmful electric current to the individual. Variations between individuals' skin resistance are compensated for. The electrical current consists of rectangular pulses at 10 Hz with 10mA amplitude, which is gradually increased by 4 μs rises in pulse width, from zero to a maximum of 396 μs. This occurs over a total of 99 steps and ceases when the individual releases their grip on the device. The results are displayed on an LCD screen, on a scale from 1 to 99, which is directly related to the pulse width. Higher Pain Matcher values indicate a higher pain threshold17,18,21.
We aimed to assess the predictive value of pre-operative pain threshold measurements, made via electrocutaneous stimulation, for the intensity of post-operative pain experienced following arthroscopic subacromial decompression surgery.

"I need a cigar," I said to the tobacconist.
He gestured toward a locked cabinet. Behind its glass doors, cigars were arrayed floor to ceiling. The chocolate truffle recipe called for an inch of cigar, preferably Cuban, infused in heavy cream. Cuban cigars are illegal in the United States. I could choose a cheap cigar stinking through the glass like hell's own aftershave, or do the bling thing and blow 30 bucks. Aiming for middle ground, I spent $9.
"For your husband?" The man asked, ringing me up.
"For a recipe."

For something a little more adventurous, try a night or two of fly-camping while at Sand Rivers.
Sand Rivers fly-camping: Our full report
If you're staying at Sand Rivers Camp then it's easy for us to pre-arrange for you to have a night or two fly-camping from there for travellers who are after a bit of adventure out in the bush.
When fly-camping you'll set off with your guide and a vehicle in the afternoon, usually mixing driving with walking. Around dusk you'll arrive at your fly-camp, usually in a dry, sandy riverbed. It will be set up in advance by the camp's team, with a fire, hot water for showers and cold drinks at the ready! Dinner is cooked on the fire – the quality will still be the same excellent standard you'd expect from the main camp.
Later you'll retire to your comfortable bedroll under a cube of mosquito gauze, and your armed guide will be sleeping close by. The team also bring a dome tent, in case anyone feels nervous. Once your eyes adapt to the dark, you'll be amazed at what a thrilling experience sleeping under the stars is, and how attune you become to the smallest sounds and movements around you.
If you're still unsure exactly what fly-camping is all about, then visit the main page for Selous Game Reserve where you will find more details. Or just call and ask us!
Our viewWe can't recommend fly camping highly enough – especially at Sand Rivers, where the simple mosquito net "tents" mean that you get even closer to the surrounding environments. This isn't for everyone though – so do chat it through with us first!
Location: Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania
Ideal length of stay: 1 or 2 nights maximum - as part of a safari to Sand Rivers
Accessible by: Fly-and-Transfer
Food & drink
Usual board basis: Full Board
Dining style: Group Meals
Dining locations: Outdoor Dining
Cost of meal e.g. lunch: Included
Special interests
Birdwatching: Selous is a great area for birdwatching in Tanzania - and these fly-camps deep in the bush, combined with walks around the fly-camp area, allow you to really experience the Selous and get to know the birdlife there.See more ideas for Birdwatching in Tanzania
Walking safaris: Sand Rivers fly-camps usually include time spent walking as well as driving, and the guides here are first-rate - walking safaris are one of the camp's specialities.See more ideas for Walking safaris in Tanzania
Wildlife safaris: Selous is an excellent game reserve, and these walks offer a great chance to explore - and covering the ground on foot, and fly-camping out, is a superb way to really experience the Selous.See more ideas for Wildlife safaris in Tanzania

Pocket Break-in Guide Submitted by Zach Alpern
I string my own sticks, and pretty much all the sticks on my high school team. There are different ways to break in pockets, and most have to do with the type of stringing used.
I'd argue that a good pocket break-in starts with the stringing job. Most pockets' final shape is determined almost exclusively by the tightness of the strings, be it the sidewalls, shooting strings, traditional laces, or bottom string in mesh. This is why breaking in a pocket is so much more than just putting a ball and butterknife under the sidewall for a few days.
Hints for Monster Mesh/6 Diamond mesh:
The biggest problems I've found with large holed mesh have to do with the relative tightness of the mesh on the stick. For a smooth throw, as well as good hold, it is essential that the mesh at the top of the stick is tight. A well strung large-hole-mesh stick will throw smoothly without shooting strings before it is broken in. This is a good test of the pocket. With large-hole-mesh, soak the head in warm water before you put in the shooting strings. A pocket screw (DeBeer or Brine) is incredibly helpful at this point.
Stretching the mesh is key to a good break-in later. After the pocket dries, put in the shooters, throw around for a bit. Then soak again, to set the pocket. The break-in should be easy from this point on.
Hints for Soft Mesh:
There is only one key to remember with soft mesh: Don't play with it in games at first. Unlike other mesh, soft mesh actually shrinks as it breaks in. Older soft mesh is much harder than new soft mesh. This means making a deeper pocket during the break-in process, which almost invariably means an illegal pocket. Keep in mind that the pocket will shrink, and you can't go wrong with the break-in process. Don't be fooled into thinking that there is none, however!
Hints for Hard Mesh:
Like all mesh pockets, a good hard mesh pocket starts with the stringing job. The top of the pocket should be nice and tight, and the placement of a "slack" section, where the pocket will develop, is essential. This is done with the sidewalls, and varies from stick to stick. When breaking in the pocket, give the head a soak in water, and use a pocket screw if you have one. Stretch the mesh where you want the pocket to be. I like to keep the bottom string loose, so that the pocket is softer, and is better for vertical cradling. Also, with hard mesh, a short re-break-in period is needed after rainy games. The pocket will stiffen after being wet, and should be pounded in and thrown with after it dries.
Hints for Traditional Pockets/Custom Pockets:
Like other pockets, wetting the head will help to soften the strings and leathers for stretching. Pre-stretching the leathers is absolutely necessary, and is part of the reason factory strung pockets aren't very good. When a traditional pocket is broken in, the leathers stretch more than the pocket nylons. This is important to remember when stringing the pocket. Also, if the top of the pocket it too loose, the stick will have a great deal of whip, no matter what you do with the shooting strings. When breaking in the pocket, the most important thing to remember is to pound the pocket only where you want the pocket to be. If you punch it in right below the shooting strings, it will stay there- but will also throw straight down.
With special design pockets, the tightness of the strings matters even more than with standard traditional. The break-in process may be tedious, but in the end it's the only way to have a nice stick. Also remember that fancy pockets require maintenance fairly regularly. Keep the strings tightened correctly, and don't leave it unattended for long periods of time. More work means more performance.
General Tips and Reminders:
Wet your pocket before you try to stretch it out. As it dries, it will shrink slightly. This keeps the materials from breaking.
Take care of your stick. It's how you interact with the game- and your pocket is the most important part. Clean it out with water after rainy games, to get the gunk off.
It's your stick. It doesn't matter if your friends think it throws badly, as long as it works for you. Everyone's stick is different, but serves the same purpose. It's kind of like shoes- even with the exact same shoes, two people will break them in differently, to make them uniquely theirs.
Nothing breaks in a pocket like use. You want your pocket to throw well- so throw with it. You want it to hold the ball- cradle with it wet. You want it to shoot right- shoot more. Always be ready to adjust your pocket as you throw around, whether it's with friends or against a wall, or alone at the cage.
Dying with stringing left on Submitted by L. Goel
Hey, I found out that if you are going to dye a head with a mesh or traditional pocket already in it make sure that none of the strings are very tight against the plastic, or one another for that matter, because when they move around the white part shows through.
Loosening Leathers Submitted by Ryan
I have a tip for "loosening" up leathers run them under warm water and put them in the dryer for about 30 minutes.
E-Lacrosse Note: We found that this worked better when soaking the strings in the warm water and giving them a good stretch by hand between spending about fifteen minutes in the water and putting them in the dryer.
The Vintage Pocket Submitted by Sean
This is a pocket I worked on. This is actually the first traditional head I've strung, but its sweeter than most I've seen. This stick has a great hold, the ball won't budge once its in the pocket. I like to call it the "Vintage Pocket" or the "Tor- Pita Pocket." It's made with 4 leathers, doubling the middle two for a more defined channel. Coils run off to the sidewalls, and a pair of spirals running down the middle.
Mesh Pocket Pounding Submitted by Rob from Pomfret, Connecticut
I have found the best way to break in hard mesh in less than ten minutes. Take the spray nozzle on your sink, and spray the mesh pocket with hot water. After that, hold the head, and bludgeon the mesh with something. A pocket pounder or the butt of another stick work well. I hope this helps. It's worked out for me every time!
E-Lacrosse Note: We tried this and it worked just fine. We used a rubber mallet for the beating.
Legal width baking Submitted by Danny Wernau, Holbrook, L.I., New York
When baking a stick, take a pencil and cut or sharpen it down to desired length (between 6 1/2 and 10 inches to keep it legal). Then, stick the eraser part on one side of the top near the sidewall holes, and then stick the sharp side through the other sidewall holes to keep the shape...then you can pich the bottom as much as you want without worrying about staying legal.
E-Lacrosse Note: You can't use this with every method. A pencil will burn in the oven and could cause a fire or just a messed up smell in your oven which your parents certainly won't appreciate.
Reverse Mesh-X Submitted by Big Will
I recently was messing around with some monster mesh and found a great pocket which is, as far as I have seen, is totally original. The materials you will need is a whole bunch of stringing nylon, a peice of monster mesh, 2 leathers, and 2 flat nylon rope strips just like those found in the sure shot pocket by brine that are the size of a leather.
Step 1: Run both leathers through the outside holes. Then string sidewall strings.This pocket is almost a reverse X-mesh pocket, but the purpose is to be able to catch and cradle with the feel of mesh, but have the shot power and accuracy of a traditional stick. It is quite complicated but in the end comes out to be a killer pocket.
Getting the whip out Submitted by Kenny Silver
If anyone is having trouble with getting out whip on a mesh pocket, I have 2 tips.
Face off tips Submitted by Corey
I have two tips to share in the Reader Tips Section. The two tips are for face-off specialists.
My cousin, who was a two-time All-American at Middlebury, showed me a move that he called the finisher. When you do a face-off, clamp on the ball as usual. Once you clamp on the ball and gain possession, leave your right hand where it is, but push forward with your left hand. If your head is flexible, the ball should get trapped in the back of your stick. Then push the ball between your legs.
My second tip is a method that my cousin along with Chris Cercy of Syracuse used. Cut a slit across the top of your mesh. Burn the ends so they don't fray. This will give you a distinct advantage when doing the clamp because the ball will squirt through the slit right into your pocket!
E-Lacrosse Note: This one we like because it's innovative and fits into the anything goes face-off mentality. We have no idea if it's legal but we bet that it's not, especially in your youth or High School league so we're not recommending it for your stick. We just wanted to show it to you for fun!
Hold off on box baking An E-Lacrosse Extra
If you're thinking of baking or bending your stick into a good box stick, you may want to just wait a few weeks and buy the new STX Box Stick designed and used by Gary Gait! We don't even know what it's called yet but here are some pictures of the head they gave us. We threw an old soft mesh on there with two hockey laces and a tight shooter in the middle. We assume they come from the factory in hard mesh, and we want one of those too!
Thanks to all for participating. Keep sending your tips and we'll pick some more in a few months! Send them to firstname.lastname@example.com!

Child Protection Program
University of Iowa Children's Hospital has a long tradition of providing services for suspected victims of child abuse and neglect.
The purpose of the child protection program is to assess victims of alleged physical, emotional, or sexual abuse and neglect. The mission of the program is to promote safety, protection, and well being of children through the coordination of assessment, education, patient support, and prevention services.
Child Assessment Clinic
The Child Assessment Clinic determines the needs of children and families when there is a suspicion or allegation of child abuse or neglect. The clinic accepts referrals from all professionals, families, and children. Children who have not been reported to the Department of Human Services or law enforcement can still be seen in the Child Assessment Clinic.
During a meeting at the Child Assessment Clinic, caretakers/custodians will be asked about the child's medical history, the family's medical history, as well as family social history. The child may also be interviewed in a neutral and child-friendly environment. Additionally, the child will receive a thorough physical examination, as well as body safety education. Guided by the allegation and/or physical exam findings, further tests may be ordered.
Based on the interview information, interactions with caretakers, physical examination findings, and test results, the team provides a summary of the findings, educational materials, and referral information for additional services as needed. The clinic team may contact the Iowa Department of Human Services and/or law enforcement if necessary.
Emergency Department Services
Often times, victims of sexual assault are seen in the emergency department. Children 13 years and younger, as well as those who have not shown signs of puberty, are seen by the child protection program team. Children 14 years and older who display the start of puberty are seen by the UI Children's Hospital sexual assault response team nurses.
Children who are assessed in the emergency department and are found to have genital injuries are referred to the Child Assessment Clinic for continued monitoring. Additionally, the child and non-offending family members are referred to counseling services.
Inpatient and Outpatient Consultation Services
When a child is admitted to a UI Children's Hospital unit or clinic for any reason and there is a concern of child abuse or neglect, the child protection team provides consultation services.

It's raining in Seattle today, which is good for the Seahawks and bad for Phillip Rivers, but sadly Qwest Field drains revolutionarily fast so it remains to be seen how impactful the weather will be. Still, you don't win a game by poor conditions alone, so what are the keys for a Seahawks victory?
- Survive the first quarter. The San Diego Chargers are the top rated team in the league in the first quarter (based on Football Outsiders' DVOA), while the Seahawks rank dead last. It is absolutely crucial that the offense comes out and scores early, while limiting the Chargers from rolling too hard. We know we've got the defense to do it, but Matt has to start the game ready to play — no more first quarter INTs.
- Run the ball early, often, and effectively. My only major criticism of Pete Carroll so far has been how he has handled the run game. Splitting carries amongst three to five 5-Star recruits is one thing, but when there is a single clear starter (Forsett) you have no choice but to give him the ball and let him run. The other two backs have not even halved his YPC numbers, and no one looks stronger or more elusive than Young Nastyman. What other "starting" RB has only 15 carries despite a 5.8 YPC average? Sorry, Pete, but that's idiotic.
- Earl Thomas. The Chargers are known for their "large chunk" game — they will run the ball enough to keep you interested, then toss the ball 45 yards down the sideline and hope to win that battle 50% of the time. That's where big bad Earl Thomas comes in… he's got to have his best game as a pro (best of three…), and hopefully pull off his first INT or maybe two. Big momentum shifts mean something at home, and few safeties have the range that Thomas does. If he can stay disciplined, we're in good shape.
- Big plays. Here's lookin' at you, Golden. The Seahawks need a few big plays today. We're not going to dominate the Chargers, and talent-wise, they've probably got the edge. The 12th Man could end up playing the biggest role, but sparking things on Leon Washington's kick returns, Golden Tate's punt returns, Earl Thomas' interceptions, or just a big gain down the middle by Big Mike Williams with a few missed tackles could go a long way towards securing this win. We're underdogs for a reason, but that doesn't mean we can't win.
- 12th Man. Do your worst, fans!

OpenSUSE LiveUSB with Second Partition
Installing openSUSE on a USB stick hasn't been a problem since version 11.2. But using the stick for more than installation media requires a little trick.
Since openSUSE 11.2, LiveCDs images could be stored on a USB stick and used for installation without requiring a CD or DVD. The USB stick needed at least 1 GByte for the ISO image.
The question arose about what to do about the remaining GBytes on the stick. Now a script and some magic using the fdisk command should solve the problem. The trick is to load the createsecondpartition.sh script and use the following command to create a second partition:
sudo sh createsecondpartition.sh /dev/sdX
Substitute the /dev/sdX with the actual name of the USB device, which is usually /dev/sdb or /dev/sdc, depending on how many hard drives there are, and which can be determined using sudo fdisk -l.
A couple of messages from fdisk will appear. The script then adds the partition to the end of the LiveCD and writes the new partition table to the hard drive. After a reboot, the Live openSUSE stores all changes to the second partition on the USB stick.

To the Editor.—
Recent advertisements for thioridazine—"Sandoz Answers Common Questions About: Tardive Dyskinesia: Are Some Neuroleptics Less Likely to Cause It?"—raise provocative questions about how to manage TD and how to translate metapharmacologic theory in psychiatric practice. This advertisement presents scientific hypothesis as fact and relies on controversial findings to draw conclusions.The central theme of this advertising revolves around the issue of neuroleptic site specificity and dopamine receptors. Does thioridazine have a greater effect on dopamine receptors in centers modulating schizophrenic symptoms than in centers modulating extrapyramidal movements?1 This concept can only be considered theoretical; it is intriguing but not proved. The failure to replicate the initial results,2 notwithstanding methodologic differences, means the laboratory foundation for the theory is controversial.More important is the inference from receptor effects to clinical effects. The pathogenetic relationship between TD and striatal dopamine receptor hypersensitivity is not fully proved. While the cause of

|More gift ideas for sportsmen
The Sportsmans Report
Here are more ideas for the sportsmen on your Christmas list.
For the campers, this may also be a fit for the whole family. Consider tents, sleeping bags, ground covers, portable cookware, clothing, hatchets and telescoping hot dog sticks. There are great camping tableware, lanterns and backpacks.
Also, there are some great books on camping in California. Look to author Tom Stienstra for some of the best in outdoor advice, including books on campground reviews, hiking trails and fishing spots. Google his name for a ton of outdoor books.
The diver can be set up in your local dive shop. Ideas to fit most any budget are to be had, including a new abalone gage at $8 or a diving trip to the Caribbean sea, the South Pacific or the near east, slightly more than the abalone iron when you add in airfare.
For aspiring mushroom hunters, consider rainwear and waterproof gear for your foray into the wetness. It is a gift that can cross breed to other sports, like going to the store in a downpour or washing the SUV. Do yourself a favor and buy good stuff that breathes in the cold, damp air.
I have a pile of rainwear made of yellow plastic and some made of blue plastic with holes in the arm pits. I nearly oozed out the leg holes after two hours of hiking. You could have cooked a squirrel inside the rain suit. I give them a kick now and then, and it was a waste of money. I should donate them someday. I always reach for the fabric ones that I bought at a ski shop or the real good ones from the fishing store for wet weather protection.
For the hunter, consider things to hunt – pig, deer, ducks, bear, squirrels and many other wild things.
What, you don't have a brace of ducks in the hall closet? A membership to a hunt club is a good idea. It's a bit pricey, unless $2,000 or more fits your budget.
The Wilderness Unlimited group has dozens, maybe hundreds of land leases. Check them out at www.wildernessunlimited.com.
Another hunt/lease group is Golden Ram (www.goldenramhunting.com). Here you can buy memberships that allow guests. One word of advice, salespeople can be very aggressive, so be careful.
Or you can buy tickets to go to the squirrel championship in Minnesota. Judges drop a live squirrel down the pants of contestants and start the timer. You betcha.

The "Black Power" tradition, on the other hand, is generally typecast by popular narrative conventions as radical, violent, and ultimately self-defeating. Despite years of scholarship proving otherwise, Black Power is too often cast by the public as an aberration of the "long Civil Rights Movement," a destructive interruption and a politically ineffectual movement that derailed the civil rights agenda and ended in white backlash, conservative retrenchment, urban unrest, and lost "dreams" for activists and communities of marginalized peoples.
Recent scholarship, however, has begun to rethink the meaning, geographical placement,
periodization, and effect of "Black Power" as having deep historical roots in marginalized
communities with a profound and far more positive legacy than conventional and public narratives would otherwise suggest. This conference will bring together activists, historians, scholars of Africana studies, political theorists, literary scholars, critical gender and sexuality studies scholars, critical race theorists and legal historians, and educators and students to discuss the ways in which this new emerging subfield, what Dr. Peniel Joseph has called "Black Power Studies," is challenging the traditional historical narratives for the twentieth century.
The Avery Research Center seeks contributors to discuss the meaning of "Black Power" in the broader context of American, African-American, and Pan-African history at the local, national, and international levels and across the twentieth century. We hope to expand the periodization of Black
Power beyond the traditional narrative to include a variety of experiences and struggles over the course of the twentieth century. We seek papers that consider the Movement's:
intellectual and social protest origins, particularly Pan-Africanism, the Nation of
Islam, and Garveyism;
transnational and global aims, relationships, and global impact;
engagement with foreign policy, anti-colonialism, and anti-war protests;
role in reshaping state power, as reflected in such state institutions as the military, the prison, and the nation's educational system;
political and social alliances with other minority groups in the demand for social justice;
implications for social justice and remedies for poverty;
concern for Black families and manhood;
central role for Black women, feminism/womanism, gender identity, sexuality, and equity;
influence on the Black Arts Movement and the establishment of Black Studies programs.
struggles to expose and eradicate police brutality, racial injustices in the nation's laws and politics, and mass incarceration.
We welcome papers and complete panel sessions related to these themes and others from faculty, artists, filmmakers, graduate students, and public history professionals. Because of the overlapping nature of themes, we expect that some presentations will be interdisciplinary in nature, and we encourage proposals that examine Black Power from many intersections such as race and sexuality, Black identity and nationalism, or social justice and human rights.
As Avery is a historical museum, an archive, and a research center, we will feature a juried art competition and exhibition on Black Power. We will also feature the exhibition, "All Me: The Life and Art of Winifred Rembert," whose colorful art depicts scenes and themes from the time he spent on prison chain gangs in Georgia.
This symposium brings together activists, members of the community, students, and academics to inquire what "Black Power" means, how we should chart its narrative over the course of the twentieth century, and implications for current political and socioeconomic narratives. By doing so, we will begin to reconsider how "Black Power" shaped not only the African-American experience, but how it informed key historical narratives that frame both the history of the nation and transnational movements.
The deadline for proposals is June 1, 2012; completed papers are due by August 1, 2012. Please send all paper and panel proposals to email@example.com with your name, institution, title, email address, presentation title, and format along with a 150-word abstract, brief bio, and recent CV. Please put "Black Power" in your subject line. Presentations will be limited to twenty minutes.
Information regarding registration, lodging, and symposium schedule will be available on the Avery Research Center's Web site beginning in May 2012.

USF Baseball Falls Short Against Northwestern
USF held a 4-2 lead late in the ballgame but eventually fell 6-4 to Northwestern in the final game of the series Sunday afternoon at USF Baseball Stadium.
The Bulls still won the series wining the first two games of the three-game set on Friday and Saturday and now stand at 11-5 on the year.
USF had to play catchup from the outset as Northwestern scored a run in each of the first two innings to lead 2-0.
In the home half of the second,?Hayden Kelley?(Tampa) walked followed by back-to-back singles by?Vincent Miniet?(Tampa)?and?Zac Gilcrease?(Tampa)?loaded the bases for USF.? A hard hit ball up the middle turned into a double play but allowed Kelley to score.??Kyle Teaf?(Tallahassee) then surprised the defense with a bunt attempt with two outs forcing a high throw to first bringing home Miniet and tying the game at 2-2.
In the fifth, USF again got its first three hitters on before?Luke Maglich?(Sarasota) hit a sacrifice fly to right field scoring?Nik Alfonso?(Tampa)?on the play and giving the Bulls their first lead of the game.??Daniel Portales?(Tampa)?drove in the final run for the green and gold with a single up the middle allowing?Levi Borders?(Winter Haven) to cross the plate.
After pushing two across in the first two innings, Northwestern was held scoreless until the seventh which was aided by some erratic pitching by USF.? With runners in scoring position, two consecutive batters for Northwestern were hit by a pitch to force in a run.? A two-run single and a sacrifice fly brought in the final three runs for the Wildcats.
Dan Tyson (1-0) earned the win for NU throwing 125 pitches over eight innings.? He allowed four runs (three earned) on eight hits and a pair of walks.? Jack Quigley pitched a scoreless ninth to earn the save.
Michael Farley?started the game for USF and was in line for the win after tossing five innings.??Joe Adel?(2-1) suffered the loss working 0.1 innings giving up two runs.
Offensively,?Levi Borders?and Portales each had two hits in the game for the Bulls.
Luke Dauch was 3-for-4 with two runs scored for Northwestern.? Scott Heelan and Zach Jones both drove in two as well.
USF returns to the diamond on Wednesday, March 12 when it welcomes No. 21 FIU to USF Baseball Stadium.? First pitch is scheduled for 5:00 p.m.

Shop the full Rodin olio lusso collection here!
The secret to remaining youthful cannot be limited to one specific thing. Diet, skincare, the right dermatologist and just plain great genes can all play a part in how we approach and curb the aging process.
In the April edition of Harpers Bazaar, a great feature on the 'Secrets of Ageless Women' was showcased highlighting different influential women crossing beauty and fashion and their personal tricks they use to remain timeless and beautiful.
Designer Donna Karan helps her body and mind to remain youthful by practicing meditation and yoga while also drinking green juice every morning. Jewelry designer Padma Lakshmi sees a facialist for regular microdermabrasion and our favorite Linda Rodin keeps makeup at a minimum but never forgets her favorite bright pink lipstick as it goes beautifully with her hair color. As for maintaining her silver fox hair, Rodin by Recine Hair Oil of course!
Mila Kunis Loves Kai Eau de Parfum! » -
Black Swan and That 70's Show actress Mila Kunis is known for her great acting ability, gorgeous doe eyes, and now recent Kai fragrance devotee as seen in April's Harpers Bazaar. Mila's favorite from the range is Kai's Eau de Parfum. This vacation inspired scent has notes of tuberose, jasmine and lily and best of all is paraben, phthalate and sulfate free as well!
«Embracing 'The Grey' With Silver Fox Linda Rodin! -
What is it about a gray strand of hair that causes total freak out and an emergency trip to the hair dressers? I remember noticing my first gray hair in my early twenties and thinking I had failed at fighting the aging process. Instead of just embracing it as inevitable part of life and going with the flow I was even more adamant about making sure those suckers were going to be hidden FOREVER.
As I've gotten older, ok I'm 32, I've come to appreciate silvery, grey hair as beautiful. It's really is striking, especially now that we have so many icons who are saying no to bleach and heck yes to being a silver fox such as Adele Chatfield-Taylor, Christine Lagarde and our favorite, Linda Rodin! In the March edition of Town & Country magazine the Rodin Olio Lusso creator says she always embraced her gray hair and never thought of coloring it, even when people said, "If only you died your hair you'd have thousands of men knocking down your door," and "I've always loved my hair and wouldn't change it for anything."

WestPoint Has Break-Even Q2
Posted on August 6, 2014 by
NEW YORK-WestPoint Home posted a break-even second quarter, the first time it has not posted a quarterly loss for some years, compared to a net loss of $3 million in last year's second quarter.
Net sales in the quarter, which ended on June 30, totaled $46 million, a decrease of 8 percent. However, gross margin gained 600 basis points to finish at 16 percent, with cost of goods sold lowered by increased margins on more profitable programs and customers. Selling, general and administrative expenses were dead even in dollars but rose 139 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 17.4 percent.
According to a 10-Q filing by Icahn Enterprises, WestPoint's parent company, the company "will continue to realign its manufacturing operations and streamline its merchandising, sales and customer service divisions to improve its cost structure and better serve its customers.
"Given the uncertainty and volatility in the macroeconomic conditions, we cannot predict if (WestPoint's) financial performance will continue to improve," the filing added.
