Bergamot Essential Oil
Bergamot Essential Oil is one of my favorite citrus oils to enjoy in the diffuser and to mindfully use in topical applications. The aroma of Bergamot Essential Oil is reminiscent to that of orange, but it is wonderfully more complex. It almost seems to possess an underlying floral characteristic to it. Drinkers of Early Gray tea are especially familiar with the flavor and aroma of bergamot as the oil is used to flavor the tea.
Bergamot Essential Oil may be helpful in use during periods of depression, sadness or grief, and it is known for its ability to help combat oily skin and acne.
Because cold pressed Bergamot Essential Oil it is highly phototoxic, it must be used with care on the skin and avoided when exposed to the sun or UV rays. Bergaptene is the naturally occurring chemical constituent found in cold pressed Bergamot Essential Oil that makes the cold pressed oil highly phototoxic. Varieties of furocoumarin-free (FCF) cold pressed Bergamot Essential Oil are available that have the bergaptene synthetically removed. Bergamot Essential Oil is also sometimes available as a steam distilled oil.
Aromatic Description: Fresh, orange/lemon/citrusy, slightly floral.
Bergamot Oil Uses: Acne, abscesses, anxiety, boils, cold sores, cystitis, depression, halitosis, itching, loss of appetite, oily skin, psoriasis, stress. [Julia Lawless, The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Essential Oils (Rockport, MA: Element Books, 1995), 56-67.]
Safety Information: Cold pressed Bergamot Oil is phototoxic. Tisserand and Young recommend a dermal maximum use of 0.4% to avoid phototoxicity. Reading Tisserand and Young's full profile on this oil is recommended. [Robert Tisserand and Rodney Young, Essential Oil Safety (Second Edition. United Kingdom: Churchill Livingstone Elsevier, 2014), 87, 211.] Rectified FCF/Bergaptine-Free versions of cold pressed Bergamot Oil are available that dramatically reduce the phototoxicity of the oil.

Only one team, the San Antonio Spurs, currently sits atop the NBA throne, while every other franchise is hoping to dethrone them next season.
After the 2014 NBA draft, several teams came away with building blocks for the future. But simply growing through the draft likely won't be enough to thrust a franchise into becoming an NBA Finals contender.
The next stage is crucial, as the NBA free-agency period officially got underway on Tuesday. With superstars like Carmelo Anthony and LeBron James out there on the market, where both players land might potentially shift the entire landscape.
As for the best of the rest, both Lance Stephenson and Gordon Hayward are emerging stars who might find new homes next season. Another veteran looking at his options this summer is Pau Gasol, who would instantly impact a playoff contender if he chooses to leave the Los Angeles Lakers.
Here's a look at the latest rumors during the first week of NBA free agency.
Pacers' Negotiations with Stephenson Hit a Roadblock
While he's not quite the coveted prize that either James or Anthony provide, Stephenson is still one of the biggest free agents on the market this summer.
After a breakout season where he put up career highs in nearly every statistical category, the former second-round pick might not be in an Indiana Pacers jersey next year. Chris Broussard of ESPN provides the latest on Stephenson and the Pacers:
Despite the Indiana Pacers' heartfelt movie tribute and presentation to Lance Stephenson, the two sides are currently at an impasse over a new deal, according to sources close to the situation.
The Pacers offered a five-year, $44 million contract to Stephenson, but sources said the versatile shooting guard believes he's worth much more.
Those are pretty lofty numbers, but apparently not enough for Stephenson's services.
Broussard goes on to mention that teams like the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls and even the Charlotte Hornets have reached out to Alberto Ebanks, Stephenson's agent. As for what's next, Candace Buckner of the Indianapolis Star provides a quote from a team source with the Pacers:
As I was told by team source re: offer to Lance: "If it ain't enough, it ain't enough." #Pacers #coldhardtruth— Candace Buckner (@CandaceDBuckner) July 2, 2014
Walking away from that lucrative of an offer seems surprising, but Stephenson might draw more money from another team. With all three of the franchises mentioned by Broussard being either a contender or a team on the rise, Stephenson has several options this summer.
Market for Hayward Opening Up; Cavaliers Might Make Offer
Here's yet another player who posted career highs during his fourth year and is set to make a lot of money for the breakout season.
Gordon Hayward posted 16.2 points, 5.2 assists and 5.1 rebounds during the 2013-14 season with the Utah Jazz, but he has options this summer. Marc Stein of ESPN notes Hayward turned down a huge deal and might have several teams interested in him:
Boston/Phoenix/Cleveland are known suitors for Hayward. Little doubt he would've turned down 4/$48M from Jazz unless sure he could get more— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 2, 2014
Jazz have been vowing to match any offer Hayward gets. But could well cost 'em more now than it would have had they extended GH in October— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 2, 2014
After starting in 77 games with the Jazz last year, he's shown he's a good pure shooter. With a .413 shooting percentage, he now has a chance to go to a playoff contender during free agency.
One team that appears to be interested in the shooting guard is the Cleveland Cavaliers. Ken Berger of CBS Sports notes what the Cavs might be willing to offer Hayward:
If Cavs make max offer to Gordon Hayward, it would be a four-year, $63m deal starting at $14.8m. He made $3.5m last season.— Ken Berger (@KBergCBS) July 2, 2014
The fit makes sense for both sides with Cleveland likely on the rise in the next several seasons. Equipped with both Kyrie Irving and No. 1 pick Andrew Wiggins, adding Hayward would be a significant piece of the puzzle for the future.
As for clubs like the Boston Celtics and Phoenix Suns, either might need to put together an impressive deal to woo Hayward to the franchise. With the free-agency period just getting started, Hayward will have plenty of time to make his decision between the possible suitors.
Thunder, Heat and Spurs Going After Pau Gasol Over Summer
After two emerging stars, one wily veteran could be on the move as well.
At the tender age of 33 years old, Gasol comes off a year with the Lakers where he was asked to fill several needs all while having his name rumored for a trade throughout the season. With free agency underway, multiple postseason contenders are after the 7'0" center.
Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com points out interest from one team in the Western Conference:
League source tells http://t.co/qaKiSKJzB6 that Thunder GM Sam Presti made OKC interest known in a phone conversation with Pau Gasol today— Dave McMenamin (@mcten) July 2, 2014
Equipped with players like Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, adding Gasol looks like a perfect fit for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Following up a deep playoff run, Gasol would not only add a great offensive piece, but also championship experience.
Outside of the Thunder, there will be several other teams looking to attract Gasol away from the Lakers. Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo Sports notes two other franchises hoping to join the race:
Free-agent center Pau Gasol had a telephone conversation with Miami Heat president Pat Riley on Tuesday and could talk again with the franchise in the near future, league sources told Yahoo Sports. …
The NBA champion San Antonio Spurs have inquired with Gasol's agent Arn Tellem, expressing an interest, sources said, but the Spurs can't become a legitimate suitor unless Gasol significantly drops his asking price.
Therefore, out of the four teams in the East and West Finals last year, three are looking at the center. Gasol can't go wrong with any of these options, but he would also have to weigh his options of remaining in Los Angeles.
Much like the rest of the players out on the market, Gasol will have time to go over his options. Given the wide-open market for the center, the rumors surrounding him likely are just beginning.

Does any one know what days the streams in Gburg/cherokee are stocked?
Have not been back since this time last year and looking forward to it, bringing my oldest son this trip (he is 23) and wanting to put him in some cold water lol,
Plus any suggestion on where to take him and what to throw in this cold weather, we will be wading ,
Thanks for any suggestion.
Cherokee stocks weekly, but is closed in February while they stock up for season opening in March. I work in Gatlinburg and they have not been stocking well at all. I drove down to the trout farm the other night at work, and they have drainedhaf of the runs in there. Some say it is because of the delayed harvest, but the "budget" is so messed up that they are cutting everything in the city. Cherokee is fun and very well stocked.
Just wanted to say about the above post that Cherokee is not closed until Feb28th-March20 something
If you are in to the "trophy section thing", it never closes. Open year round but only on the designated section where you have to have the $20 yearly on top of $7 daily.
Gatlinburg is supposed to stock every thursday, but it's not good fishing at all.
Has Gburg really gone down hill on the stocking that much? You would think they would have a tremendous budget, what has happened?
Bran, I work for the city there and shouldn't talk negatively of it, but the "budget" is so bad that they have really cut back on the stocking. On the other hand, we have some really nice new Christmas lights every year haha.
Gotcha, I know that the same lady has been the city manager for quite awhile so I figured since management hadn't changed the stocking would be the same as always. The license sales ought to support the stocking but I guess that's a perfect world. I did catch a limit there one day this past year but they were mostly on the small side for stockers. My wife really loves to fish there every year and looks forward to it.
I don't fish much in the Downtown GB area but I can imagine there are a lot of onlookers and rock throwers that will probably keep me in other places. Not everyone is annoying that hangs around, but usually there is one bad apple in the crowd.
Or there can be tourists out on the rocks before you get there and if they were messing around it may put the trout down for a while.
Thank God there are thousands of miles of stream so close to there. Try the Greenbriar area if you don't want to go too far up in the woods.
I fish Greenbrier a lot. I haven't caught anything big up there, but there are some pretty fish. I did well this past year when I fished Roaring Fork in Gatlinburg, but one net full of fish looks like a lot more in a stream 8ft wide than in downtown where its 40 ft wide.

Loyd Bagwell, left, and Josh Ray volunteer Thursday afternoon to help hand out food and gifts for senior citizens at the Salvation Army. CNJ staff photo: Tony Bullocks
By Tonya Fennell: CNJ staff writer
With a wide grin stretched across his freckled face, Kevan Garrett busily stuffed gift bags at the Salvation Army Thursday afternoon.
The upbeat and friendly 9-year-old was one of several volunteers assisting the Christian non-profit organization with its Senior Citizen Commodities program.
"I like helping out," Kevan said. "Some people don't even get presents (at Christmas) so this is good."
The Senior Citizen Commodities program provides elderly residents with juice, dried potatoes, cheese, peanut butter and various canned goods. Along with the food, the group also received holiday gift bags, which included lap blankets and home insulation kits.
According to Salvation Army Capt. Tammy Ray, the kits were purchased with a grant provided by United Way donations.
"The lap blankets are a Christmas gift from us (Salvation Army)," Ray said.
In addition to the basic commodities and gifts, the senior citizens were also given whole chickens and several pieces of fresh fruit.
"Some of these people have nothing or are on very limited incomes, so, they rely on this program," Ray said.
A line of cars stretched down the street in front of the Salvation Army as drivers patiently sat in their warm cars awaiting their turn to receive commodities. Bundled up against the chilly weather, 15 Salvation Army employees and volunteers loaded each car with food and gifts.
"We have a really good group," Ray said.
Kevan proudly displayed his official name tag that identified him as a Salvation Army volunteer.
"He has been a big help," Ray said of her youngest volunteer. "He even helped direct traffic."
More than 380 senior citizens will be guaranteed a good holiday meal through the program, she said.
"They (senior citizens) are just precious," she said. "They are always so thankful."

Craniofacial birth defects are the fourth most common congenital anomaly in newborns. Cleft lip and cleft palate (CL/CP) are the most common and immediately recognizable craniofacial anomalies. Some are diagnosed prenatally on ultrasound; more often, they are first noted in the delivery room. The infant may have a cleft that is unilateral, bilateral, complete, or incomplete, and it may involve the lip only, the palate only, or both. Cleft lip and/or cleft palate are often isolated nonsyndromic occurrences; however, when associated with other abnormal physical findings, a recognizable syndrome may be present.
Part 1 of this 2-part article describes the incidence of CL/CP. The embryology of the face, lip, and palate are reviewed to enhance the understanding of the timing, complexity, and factors that may influence the development of this lesion. The emerging genetic links, environmental influences, and potential teratogens that may interact to contribute to CL/CP are discussed.
Part 2 of this series will provide clinicians with tools to perform a focused risk assessment and obtain a detailed family and pregnancy history to evaluate for known associated risk factors for CL/CP. The article provides a guide for a systematic physical examination of infants with CL/CP. Careful assessment for other midline defects or physical findings consistent with associated syndromes is also discussed. Pictorial examples of a variety of forms of CL/CP are provided to enhance understanding of the spectrum of this defect. Treatment and long-term complications of CL/CP are reviewed with an emphasis on family support, identifying educational resources, and counseling.

Skip to comments.Saul And The Charismatics...
Posted on 02/14/2012 4:00:49 PM PST by pastorbillrandles
And when Saul saw the host of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and enquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor.(I Samuel 28:5-7)
I have no problem believing that God sovereignly granted revival in the 1960′s -70′s, renewing faith in the reality of Jesus, introducing church people to Jesus for the first time, and baptizing multitudes from all walks of life, and over the spectrum of denominations in the Holy Ghost. The movement became known as the Charismatic renewal.
Why not? Didnt He promise us that
it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:(Acts 2:17-18)
I myself came to Christ at the end of the 1970′s, in a charismatic church. But the critical question of any movement is not one of the beginning, but of the end how does it end?
Of course in one sense the Charismatic movement never ends, for it didnt begin in the 1960′s nor at Azusa street, but in Jerusalem. It shall never end, being established by Jesus, clothed in the Holy Spirit and known as the church.
But the charismatic movement as a historical reality, that sovereign move of God of 40 years ago,which turned so many to Jesus and the Spirit in a godless day, has been co-opted by its leaders and seems to be going the way of King Saul.
Saul seriously disobeyed God at several key points in his life, doing what he felt was right, rather than adhering to the Word of God. He wouldnt go by the Word, but by feelings. God called that rebellion and even witchcraft,
And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.(I Samuel 15:22-23)
One of the problems with the Charismatic movement, was that it was beset with a variety of false teachers. Oral Roberts, with his seed faith, prosperity teaching. New Thought influenced teachers such as Kenneth Hagin and Copeland, who taught that we are all little gods, and could create our own reality by our words.
Who can forget the deliverance movement which was basically superstitious hysteria, but brought millions into bondage? How about the attempt by some to bring about order, imposing the cultic and oppressive shepherding movement?
False teaching imposes a terrible toll, it breaks down the defenses and corrupts the soul. Doctrine, good or bad, is not insignificant, it is of critical importance.
The Prophetic movement heralded by the false Kansas City Prophets and John Wimber, promoted experience over doctrine, and induced millions into spiritual drunkenness and gnostic mysticism.
These are just a sampling of the influences which flooded into the wake of millions of people coming to a living faith in Jesus and an awareness of the Holy Spirit. Like an accumulation of toxins in a body they have had an eroding effect on the church.
Time fails me to go into the other excesses such as the unbiblical ecumenism, the Toronto and Pensacola movements, neo apostles and prophets, and spiritual warfare.
The common theme of all of these excesses is that the charismatics have always been strongly urged not to judge! Discernment has been ridiculed and criticized! These things have taken a toll.
The charismatic movement is in danger of ending like Saul
At the end of Sauls life, he went into the occult. God wasnt speaking to him anymore. Samuel was by now dead, although Saul consistently ignored him whilst alive. Saul had chased David away. killed the priests and found himself in real trouble.
And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.
He who had once purged the land of witches and wizards, now sought out a witch, that he might commune with the now dead Samuel!
Benny Hinn is just one Charismatic leader who has testified of his own necromancy,(communication with the dead). He tells os his frequent visits to Kathryn Kuhlmans tomb, to get an impartation of her anointing!
One of the strangest experiences I had a few years ago [was] visiting Aimees tomb in California. This Thursday Im on TBN. Friday I am gonna go and visit Kathryn Kuhlmans tomb. Its close by Aimees in Forest Lawn Cemetery. Ive been there once already and every so often I like to go and pay my respects cause this great woman of God has touched my life. And that grave, uh, where shes buried is closed, they built walls around it. You cant get in without a key and Im one of the very few people who can get in. But Ill never forget when I saw Aimees tomb. Its incredibly dramatic. She was such a lady that her tomb has seven-foot angels bowing on each side of her tomb with a gold chain around it. Asas incredible as it is that someone would die with angels bowing on each side of her grave, I felt a terrific anointing when I was there. I actually, II, hear this, I trembled when I visited Aimees tomb. I was shaking all over. Gods power came all over me. I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimees body. I know this may be shocking to you. And Im going to take David [Palmquist] and Kent [Mattox] and Sheryl [Palmquist] this week. Theyre gonna come with me. Youyouyou gonna feel the anointing at Aimees tomb. Its incredible. And Kathryns. Its amazing. Ive heard of people healed when they visited that tomb. They were totally healed by Gods power. You say, What a crazy thing. Brother, theres things well never understand. Are you all hearing me?11Benny Hinn sermon, Double Portion Anointing, Part #3, Orlando Christian Center, Orlando, Fla., April 7, 1991. From the series, Holy Ghost Invasion. TV#309, tape on file.
Familiarity with the Word of God would deliver Hinns followers, for God says He hates the sin of necromancy. Isaiah tells us that those who seek anything from the dead have no light in them,
When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? Consult Gods instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn(Isaiah 8:9-12)
The flavor of the day in Charismatic circles is Bethel church in Redding California, headed by a Word Faith, Prophetic movement, pastor , Bill Johnson. At His Bethel School of ministry, he teaches students to honor the Generals of revival, that is leaders such as Smith Wigglesworth, Aimee Semple Mcpherson, Evan Roberts, and others.
Honoring them to Johnson means compiling a vast collection of their books and artifacts,and opening a generals library for charismatics to visit. But like Hinn, Johnson also believes in visiting their tombs, and literally soaking the anointing by being in the presence of their graves.
Bethel Students Soaking Anointing Off of Tombs !
Those who discern are seeing countless other evidences that like Saul, the Charismatic movement has gone into the occult, for false prophecy, dream interpretation, necromancy,spiritual drunkenness are all characteristics, not of christian spirituality but the delusion, a revival of deceiving spirits that Paul warned about, as a consequence of rejection of the Word of God.
For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.( 2 Thess 2:8-12)
So . . . are you asserting that
the only options left are
A) Jesus no longer heals?
B) that bitterness and resentment are great routes to healing
It take s time to be healed, eh? And Jesus did how many delayed healings?
You think we who 'are growing in faith', we are instead to be instantly like Jesus. Nice. We are to strive to be like HIM, you demand others to be like HIM now. What about you? I see how you overlook.........
Mark 4:26 He also said, "This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground.
Mark 4:27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how.
All by itself the soil produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
Mark 4:29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."
Just as the kingdom of God must grow, there is growth in our own personal lives also Acts 9:22, Eph 4:15, 2 Th 1:3, 1Peter 2:2, and 2Peter 3:18.
It is easy to become so impatient waiting for the visible fruit that we neglect our roots(Mark 4:16). When things get tough, only the Word that has personal roots in our hearts will bear fruit.
You think maybe she believed man? You have no idea who and in what she believed. Let's be honest here.
Some Christians get very excited over the promises of God's Word but make the mistake of not getting firmly established in those truths before they "jump out on a limb" with them. This kind of people withers away when the heat is on. We can't live off of someone else's commitment to the Word; we must have root in ourselves (Mark 4:17)
And just how many people that Jesus healed were well grounded in the word, IOW, knew who Jesus was?
You're saying that all she needed was faith. Well, she showed it. She obviously had enough faith that God could and did heal her to go off her medications. Now that's not good enough? She must have been deficient in her faith somewhere else?
That is the PERFECT example of what I've been talking about. She didn't have enough faith. It was in the wrong person. She wasn't grounded in the word enough. It's her fault she wasn't healed.
Since no charismatic is going to blame God for not healing her, then the blame obviously falls on her, and everyone analyzes where she went wrong based on the undesirable results. You don't know her heart either. You CAN'T make those judgments about her without taking the role of judge and jury.
Well, if she'd just have done it *right* (the charismatic way) then OF COURSE she would have been healed. Spiritual snobbery on display.
Excuses duly noted.
Perhaps that's where they got it from. IMO, no matter what - my faith in God can never be shaken. If anything is or can be shaken, it's not built with a good foundation and that's not God - it's me and I have no faith in myself. So what really is shaken? Faith in wrong thinking/wrong beliefs. And it's time to go back to The Truth and renew my mind.
If that person came with respect for Hinn and believed he was indeed of God being told that can shake their faith especially if they are a new Christian.
Wouldn't that put a red flag up even for a non Christian?
OK. So he was a Christian before he met her. First love, and all. Thanks for the info on him.
I do not have bitterness and resentment, but neither am I going to sit back and watch believers get pummeled over their lack of healing, therefore lack of faith, by those who think they have all the pat answers. Those days are gone for me. I've been on the receiving end of that judgment and condemnation and no more for me or for anyone else.
The sick person needs compassion and understanding. They're usually dealing with enough on their plate without being lectured at. They're already struggling enough with their faith and relationship with God in the midst of something often life threatening. The last thing they need is other bashing them over the head about their lack of spirituality and deficient faith.
Tell me, what takes more faith? Getting healed? Or not getting healed and still loving Jesus and following Him and praising Him, knowing that God is GOOD anyway, even if things don't go the way I want all the time and trusting Him to get me through it? When I am weak, then I am strong.
It's easy to believe in a Santa God.
There is too much judgment and condemnation from the ranks of the charismatics. The legalism within is appalling.
1 Thessalonians 5:14-22 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise prophecies, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.
The hypocrisy of some - 'can't you see what you are doing' - while keeping score is amazing. Talk about 'according to their own experiences'. We don't see the same admonishment given earlier for their reasons. I was trying to 'open their eyes' but they will have none of it unless it favors their agenda. And make their own stories - with their 'yeah, buts... and we have no idea' earlier in the thread.
They have no idea why he was sick but had no problem running off and using that Scripture for their agenda. No meditation on their part and that's called rightly dividing the word for them.
"But when he asks, he must believe and NOT doubt because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does."
With their mindset they pray in DOUBT. "If it be your will" - demonstrating have no idea what the will of God is. "I am the Lord that heals you" and "By My Stripes you were healed" means nothing to them - they DOUBT in their heart the very words of God.
"From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing, and forceful men lay hold of it." Matt 11:12
Enjoy your day as the Joy of The Lord is your strength! We won't find it here but lots of strife and bitterness and insults!
YOU are assuming that God told her to get off her meds - aren't you?
You CANT make those judgments about her without taking the role of judge and jury.
I'm NOT but you obviously are. She believed, she came off her meds, yada yada.
Since no charismatic is going to blame God for not healing her, then the blame obviously falls on her,
Get this one thing straight - God is NEVER wrong, we are. Drop the pride and you might understand that.
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.
Very good viewpoint.
Amen! They are not the answer....Christ Jesus is...and until they "focus" on the Christ rather than the Healers, and on Christ rather than the healing. Then it's most difficult to take these false events as anything other than what they are...a farce and deception to distract from the Gospel message of Christ in me the hope of Glory... and damaging to the Body of believers and those who might come.
So stand tall in Him ...in righteous judgement... on all which opposes the clear teachings of Christ.
Wait.... what...????
Now we have to wait for God to tell us we're healed?
Whatever happened to just believe and it will be so?
You forgot the first part of that verse, as follows, and which clarifies in what context doubt is being used...important to consider....
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. .....PERSEVERANCE MUST FINISH ITS WORK..... so that .....you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything...... If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given him...... But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does .....(James 1:1-8).
Perseverance is the ability to keep right on going with joy in our hearts despite apparent setbacks and disappointments, illnesses, hardships etc. and this seems to be a quality that the Lord values almost beyond all else.
There is another passage in the Bible that teaches exactly this same thing. .....in Romans 5...... Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.... Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance .
Notice the same sequence Sufferings joy perseverance .
Suffering produces perseverance;.. perseverance,.. character;.. and character,.. hope... And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us.
From our perspective, stress and strain and problems and pain are those things that mar our lives....... but from Gods perspective, those are the things that develop our faith ....and our perseverance and make us people of maturity..... James said: Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Ah...Just to clarify what the 'stripes' Christ suffered accomplished..and of which we are healed as follows:
The healing here referred to, is 'spiritual healing', or healing from sin...... Pardon of sin, and restoration to the favor of God,.....these are not unfrequently represented as an act of healing.
The fact sinners are often represented as crushed,.. broken,... bruised ...by the weight of their transgressions, and so the removal of the load of sin is repesented as an act of healing.
'I said, O Lord, be merciful unto me; heal my soul, for I have sinned againt thee' Psalm 41:4.
Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed' Psalm 6:2.
The idea here is, that the Messiah would be scourged; and that it would be by that scourging that health would be imparted.... 'to our souls'.
'Sin' is a disease belonging to all men, a natural, hereditary, nauseous, and incurable one, ...but by the blood of Christ; forgiving sin is 'a healing of this disease'; and this is to be had in no other way than through the stripes and wounds,.. the blood and sacrifice,.. of the Son of God.
"By My Stripes you were healed" Really? That's a quote from Scripture? Chapter and verse please?
And while healing comes through His stripes, the verse does NOT say that everyone will be healed on demand.
It just states that the mechanism for healing is through the stripes so that if we're healed, we know how it came about.
With all the emphasis on physical healing, people often forget that there's emotional healing and mental healing as well and they are not insignificant.
I've gotten a LOT of emotional healing recently, but it doesn't show, now does it?
But no, that's not good enough either. It HAS to be physical healing, although I wouldn't trade off for that in a heart beat. The not eating is nothing compared to the emotional mess I was before.
I've been on most sides of such issues.
I've also extended everyone on this thread enormous understanding and compassion repeatedly over a lot of years hereon.
It's been quite interesting to see what's NOT RETURNED in such regards to the slightest degree. Very impressively "Christian" in all the terms y'all have been screaming at me so much about.
Very impressive.
Quix, the rest of us see you on a dangerous path to deception.
We are trying to warn you of what we see as a danger to you that you seem to be unaware of. We are posting Scripture to substantiate ourselves and get cartoons in return.
You want to see that as rock throwing and lacking in compassion and understanding, well, nobody can stop you. However, as a psychologist, you ought to be able to see the projecting that we see you engaging in.
Disagreeing with you does not make a martyr out of you. Warning you of danger we see to you does not make a martyr out of you. That label isn't wearing well on you. Let it go.
On Sickness and afflictions:
Some sicknesses are from God....
...."Who has made man's mouth? Or who makes him dumb or deaf, or seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?" ...Exodus 4:11
God made the disabled and infirm..... Babies are born every day with defects. ....Many children grow up with congenital deformities. ....Some people have illnesses that last for years..... While it is unexplainable according to our human logic, it is all part of God's sovereign, loving plan.
Some sicknesses are from Satan......
God may allow Satan to inflict illness for His own sovereign reasons..... The classic example is Job... Job chapter 1 also Luke 13:11-13
Some sickness is God's chastisement for sin. .....
...."Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep Thy word" .....Ps. 119:67.. also Numbers 12.. Deut. 28:20-22... 2 Kings 5
Other examples:
God tormenting the Egyptians with skin boils... Ex. 9:8-12
Inflicting King Jeroboam with leprosy....2 Kings 15:5
Striking Saul with blindness ....Acts 9:1-19
The Bible also tells us plainly that God disciplines the Church through sickness, hardship, and even death... 1 Cor. 11:28-30... Heb. 12:7... Acts 5:1-11 ......
That we should joyfully accept trials "of many kinds" because God uses them to make us mature James 1:2-4... Psalm 119:71,75. .......
Clearly God allows and even causes sickness for His own sovereign purposes.
Nothing like having health problems to get our attention focused on God.
I don't know of really any people who sought God when they were fat, dumb, and happy. When things are going well in any area of our lives, we don't see the need to seek God. We think we can handle it on our own.
Nothing like having health problems to cut the ego down to size. It can force us into a corner that forces us to look up instead of in, just like financial hardship. People only cry out to God when they're having problems and there's nothing so near and dear to our hearts as our health and prosperity.
I agree.
You are not supposed to be engaged in martyrdom. You are supposed to be engaged in being an ambassador for Christ. Preaching to the lost the reconciliation that God is offering man based purely on the finished work of Christ. That is our commission. When is the last time you laid aside your signs, wonders, miracles, speaking in tongues, etc. for the gospel of the grace of God?
As God is my witness, I have no animosity toward you. It is the deceit and deception that concerns me. You cannot be a watchman if you are focused on yourself.
1. Thanks for your caring . . . I think.
2. Thankfully, God's opinion matters most.
3. Thankfully, those I most respect who know me best face to face, as well as on the net, are great accountability Brothers and Sisters.
4. I still think y'all's perspective is off the wall UNBiblical.
5. As well as dangerously close to ascribing to Holy Spirit evil doings—an extremely hazardous spiritual stance and perspective.
Nowhere has anyone done that.
Depends -- Assemblies of God don't preach quite the same...
PERSEVERANCE MUST FINISH ITS WORK..... so that .....you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
Immaturity = thin skinned.
Nowhere has anyone done that.
Bookmark for later reply if I have time: there may have been one or two remarks upthread which I took as close to a categorical denial of the gifts of the Spirit "nowadays".
"Warning, Will Robinson, Danger, Danger."
Stay focused. You brought it up She obviously had enough faith that God could and did heal her to go off her medications. You know this mystery person, I don't.
Whatever happened to just believe and it will be so?
Go to The Word, meditate on it and perhaps it will be found.
Now who is the one who brought it up with post after post, 'it's their fault'???
That's a slur.
When some just can't see - cartoons fit the bill.
Disagreeing with you does not make a martyr out of you. Warning you of danger we see to you does not make a martyr out of you
Nor does it make a 'victim' out of anyone. PROJECTION!!
That label isnt wearing well on you. Let it go.
LOL! More projection!
Making a list, checking it twice?
I believe no words can do anything here - ONLY the Holy Spirit because some are TOTALLY clueless on the Power of The Word.
Surface readers with no meditation are concerned about you being on a dangerous path!! LOL!
I don't know about that. When I attended Family Worship Center in 1983, Jimmy Swaggart was Assemblies of God. Either he has changed, his son has changed, or the Assemblies of God has changed.
More than 1 or 2, IIRC. Half a dozen or more, IIRC.
that you . . . and some others . . .
see the same or similar construction on reality I do.
I trust folks mean caring when they say caring.
Certainly lots of RC's did/do not perceive my caring toward them in lots of my posts.
Nevertheless, some of the posts on this thread hide the caring very well. LOL.
I certainly am consistent enough with my own values and style to be glad that anyone would pull out all the stops to try and rescue me from whatever spiritual ditch they saw me headed for.
HOWEVER, WHEN the motivations persistently COME ACROSS AS a decades long pique, anger, hostility, bitterness, resentment toward other religious/spiritual leaders over some chronic disappointments and exasperations—either toward God or the leaders . . . then I become more than a little concerned that the "caring" seems to be all contaminated to saturated with their own personal pique at folks and stuff quite divorced from, having little or nothing to do with me.
In terms of their purported BIBLICAL understanding. I'm shocked that such loved ones could so brazenly set aside so many plain verses and their obvious meanings. I realize that reading comprehension taught in our schools has gone to blazes in a handbasket. However, these loved ones likely learned to read before that rot set in.
It's almost as though some horrific emotionality and deep seated angst has clouded intellectual and certainly spiritual understanding on some key points. I hate to see that in anyone—particularly loved cohorts of such long relationships. That grieves me a lot.
THANKFULLY, as you seem to well know; certainly Joya knows; Some of the men in our church know . . . THOSE OF US WITH SOLID SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES need not be troubled by folks with mere arguments.
GOD HIMSELF HAS REPEATEDLY MADE HIMSELF; HIS PURPOSES AND EVEN HIS METHODS VERY REAL to me . . . fitting quite well within my constructions on Biblical realities in these matters. How on earth could I go back on BIBLICALLY ACCURATE truths and life experience things that GOD HIMSELF HAS PROVEN so repeatedly in my life!!?!!
Anyone expecting that is barking up the wrong tree.
Like 'manna' in the old testament (foreshadow) kept them well and not one feeble one among them - even their shoes didn't wear out!! -
"My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are LIFE unto those that find them, and HEALTH to ALL their flesh. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Proverbs 4:20-23
God/His Word/His Spirit takes care of ALL our needs. Some are clueless on how to turn on the switch - so they never get the light. They keep calling the power company to turn it on. Too clueless to know they have the power - they just need to turn it on! THE POWER OF THE Holy Spirit inspired WORD of God!!
Anyone expecting that is barking up the wrong tree.
Same here!!
I don't have God in a tidy little box about healing or anything else.
I think Curry Blake has the best handle on that sphere.
I just take Scripture at face value and try to walk it out as Holy Spirit leads to the best of my discernment and His enablement.
That has worked best in my life over many decades.
And, I know Holy Spirit rises up fiercely within me when folks pretend to try and box HIM into UNBIBLICAL ancient fossil encrusted boxes.
5. As well as dangerously close to ascribing to Holy Spirit evil doingsan extremely hazardous spiritual stance and perspective.
Could you show us *UNBiblical* by directing us to the Scripture that supports your point of view?
Such as ....
Where in Scripture is tongues a sign to believers for anything?
Where it's stated that every believer must evidence tongues as an indicator of being filled (baptized) with the Holy Spirit?
Where Scripture teaches that it's a prayer language which has more power than speaking in one's native tongue?
Where in Scripture a prophet is permitted to not be 100% accurate 100% of the time?
Where we are told to seek after tongues, as so much charismatic theology teaches?
wow..... just wow.....
Are what you consider *qualified* teachers the only ones you can listen to?
Scripture is Scripture and anyone can use it to rebuke or correct. It takes no special teaching or training or *anointing* to rightly divide Scripture and point out error to some one using it because it is the truth.
It's based on the truthfulness of Scripture, not the qualifications of the person doing the correcting.
To think otherwise smacks of pride.
James 1:2-4 2 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
Where's your argument?
Meanwhile... It wasn't about teaching you or about you. It was about omitting the first critical portion of the verse you presented, which does clarifiy the correct context in which the verse entire should be understood............Rather than using just a portion of it to support a misrepresentation of the verse by omission of pertinent information, which therefore distorted the truth of what the text was actually saying.
As you know we are accountable to God when false representation of His word is given, especially when it would mis-lead other people into error or misunderstanding of God's truth as He gives it.
As for meditating on God's word. Some things are simply crystal clear without giving deep thought and contemplation to when we are seeking the truth for what it says, rather than trying to twist it to what we want it to say.... which would require some thought and manipulation of the context of the text to accomplish that purpose.
What is so called a new openness.... by allowing God to do whatever he wants... AKA dont put God in a box..... is really spiritual liberalism in disguise.
Certainly God has done many things in the past in unusual ways, often times not the way we would expect....But the issue is not can God do certain things but will He do them..... For He will never contradict His own word or principles but cooperate with it to accomplish His goals.
So we look for His ways that are conducive to His nature to be sure it is God. For if we attribute something to God ...when in fact it is not God,... we have put Him in a box!
Why the wow? Do you listen to 'anyone' just babble on while they show they have no understanding?
It takes no special teaching or training or *anointing* to rightly divide Scripture and point out error to some one using it because it is the truth.
Well I've seen the 'no special teaching/training/anointing' crowd in action - so no thanks. I use the 'author' instead - right from THE SOURCE the way it was meant to be.
Go to a thread where a FReeper is asking for prayer for someone. And that someone is a saved FReeper. And that someone, after prayers, and intercessions, and laying on of hands, and prayer cloths, and faith, faith, faith, dies. I want to see you go on that thread and tell those posters, and the family of that FReeper that this person evidently did not have enough faith. That this person WOULD have been healed "by His stripes" if only this person would have had MORE faith.
Do it. I'll give you a thread you can go to right now. Show us your faith in action. Show us your absolute confidence that with enough faith, God WILL heal those who believe, every time. It's time to shut our mouths with the power of your beliefs.
Ping me when you've done it. Or better yet, we'll all just wait and watch your unswerving "faith" in action.
Im with you on that one smvoice. I have challenged others with those same challenges and not once have I been taken up on any of them. It seems most who vehemently support the healing ministry have a lack of faith when challenged to produce.

Saskatchewan Mennonite Cemetery Finding Aid
Hamm - Fehr
End of Hamm -
Fehr Cemetery Recording.
The Fehr - Hamm Cemetery Story
Bill and Margaret (Hamm) Fehrs parents came from the Gretna, Manitoba district to homestead near Hague in the early 1900s. They were Bergthalers whose custom was to settle in villages (Darps), which had their own churches and cemeteries. Many burials were also made on farm yards, school yards or amongst a grove of trees in the middle of a quarter section. This kind of cemetery was started by Bills parents, the Peter Fehrs, about three miles north of Hague and just east of the highway to Rosthern. The exact legal location is NW 21-41-3, West of 3rd.
In the course of time Bill Fehr married Margaret Hamm, took over his fathers farm, raised a family of seven children, including two aboriginal foster children, and did well. The Fehrs are now retirees living right in Hague, taking a great interest in restoring and preserving their ancestral past. For example, they were one of many couples making the covered wagon anniversary trek from Moose Jaw to Saskatoon about ten years ago.
In the meantime, the Fehr-Hamm cemetery fell into disuse, became overgrown with weeds, and was badly neglected. However, several years ago Bill decided to restore it. Immediate family members were contacted for donations, but only about half of the needed $1,500.00 was raised. Not waiting any longer, Bill went ahead to clear the weeds, erect a fence, and obtain cost estimates from various cemetery memorial firms. Now came the problem of determining the names of the deceased, as no written records were kept in those days. Fortunately, Margaret Fehrs cousin, Mrs. Ann Neudorf, had an excellent memory, so soon all the graves were indentified, although not their exact location within the cemetery.
There are 25 graves, 17 of them infants and children, most of them passing away between 1904 and 1927. Hence most graves were just tiny mounds of earth, or small hollows. Several large adult graves have markers.
Bill decided to have nearly all of the names engraved on a large marble headstone, about three by four feet in size. Beside it stands a much smaller plaque with three names. Most dead are clearly identified as to who their parents or spouses were.
Access to the cemetery was also important. Bills plan was to build a narrow one lane trail from the present owners yard, straddling the boundary of the two properties, one of which holds the cemetery. This involved much discussion, but both owners consented to forego a narrow strip of land, about 500 metres long. Now it was possible for elderly and infirm relatives to be conveyed right up to the cemetery gate by car to view the plots and headstones, and for Bill to drive up to it to give it an annual clean-up.
One burial with a tragic history is that of Bill Fehrs mother, Elizabeth, nee Pauls (1891 - 1917). The inscription reads, "Wife of Peter I. Fehr. Died by a tragic fire. Left behind seven small children." One day just before leaving for town in August 1917, Mr. Fehr asked his wife to check how much gas there was in the tank of the old Model T, situated under the front seat. She unscrewed the lid and held a kerosene lantern over the tank to get a better look right into it. With that, the gas fumes ignited and a tremendous explosion followed. The car was destroyed and Mrs. Fehr very badly burned. She was quickly taken to the doctor in Hague who rushed her to Saskatoon as fast as cars could go in those days. After 44 hours of intense suffering without the benefit of pain killing drugs, she passed away.
It is surmised that the infant and child deaths in the Fehr - Hamm clan happened during or after child birth, and by contagious diseases for which there were no vaccines. Such was the nature of life (and death) of pioneer families in Hague during their early homestead years in Hague.

Let the 2011 Holiday Shopping Begin!
Image from: Alena Root/Shutterstock
The holiday season is supposed to be a time spent celebrating rather than stressing. It's no wonder why more people are starting their shopping process early rather than waiting until the last minute. According to the recent Compete Holiday Insights™ survey, over half of the people surveyed have already started shopping for gifts. Close to 30 percent of those people completed over 10 percent of their holiday shopping by mid October.
Not only do people shop early, they also spend more in general and prefer to shop online. These early birds stated that they had spent an average of $184 online, up from $103 in early October of last year. This year's average online purchase is about 30 percent more than the average amount spent in stores.
So what were the most shopped for items? Toys and games as well as books were popular gift items during the week of October 3-9. Following closely behind were electronics, movies and games as well as clothing and shoes.
Check back in the coming weeks for more updates on shopper activities during this holiday season.

Catalysis for Life –
New Language of Dutch Art & Design
October 29, 2010-January 30, 2011
Having first received attention during the 1990s for its avant-garde approach, Dutch design reflected the changing values of the times in which large numbers of people have become uncomfortable with the mass-consumer society, and it is now recognized as the world leader in design trends. It presents a new set of values that are the opposite of the twentieth century concept of design which pursued amenity and functionality.
Often described as conceptual, Dutch design is both affirmative and respectful of human life, it is based on an awareness of contemporary problems, such as the environment and consumption, urban and social systems, and the continuation of history and culture, while questioning our choices for the future. In this exhibition we will feature the work of artists/designers whose work questions the relationship between people and objects or interpersonal communications, such as designers Ted Noten (contemporary jewelry), Maarten Baas (product design), and artists Martijn Engelbregt, and Tomoko Take. Their works can be said to act as a catalyst, bringing about a dynamic chemical transformation in our attitudes to life. Including some of their most recent works, this exhibition presents the latest trends in the essence of Dutch art and design in which the imagination becomes naturally enlarged through the surprise and humor they express.
Born in Amsberg, Germany in 1978, Maarten Baas is a member of the generation of designers that emerged after Droog, etc., and ais recognized as being one of the leaders of Dutch design.
The Catalysis for Life exhibition features about 20 of his works including his 2002 Smoke series, his video series Real Time, 2009, and The Shell, 2009 that he was commissioned to produce for Design Miami.
In June 2002 he graduated at the Design Academy having produced a series of burned furniture called Smoke. His works were nominated for the academy's René Smeets Award and also for the Melkweg Award. They led to an invitation by IKEA to do a week workshop in France and Baas was selected for the prestigious Improvisation Exposition at the Design Academy in Tokyo.
His design Smoke was adopted in the collection of Dutch label MOOOI, of Marcel Wanders. Thanks to successful presentations in Milan, London, and Paris, Smoke became known worldwide. Smoke furniture has been bought by museums and collectors such as Lidewij Edelkoort and Philippe Starck.
The Smoke chandelier was part of the exhibition Brilliant at Victoria & Albert museum in London.
In May 2004 he opened a solo exhibition with New York gallerist Murray Moss. Where There's Smoke, which showed 25 pieces of furniture, all burned and finished with transparent epoxy. Among other designs there were charcoaled classical pieces in the styles of Gaudi, Eames, Rietveld, Sottsass and the Campana Brothers.
For the new collection of the Groninger Museum, Maarten worked on furniture from the collection of the museum. These were shown during the exhibition Nocturnal Emissions and purchased by the museum.
Also the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam exhibited two of his Smoke pieces in 2005 in an exhibition of pieces purchased by the Stedelijk Museum.
His pieces are all unique and handmade, though produced in series, mostly signed and numbered by Baas. He explores the boundaries of design, without leaning on the regular "do's and don'ts". This way of working became even more clear at the Salone del Mobile in Milan 2005, where he showed his new pieces. Treasure, Hey, chair, be a bookshelf!, and Flatpack Furniture.
In 2005 he also started his collaboration with Bas den Herder, who became responsible for the production of all pieces. The foundation of studio Baas & den Herder made it possible to produce Maartens unique pieces on a larger scale, but yet all hand made in Holland. Assignments came from hotels, restaurants, galleries and museums all over the world.
At the Salone del Mobile in 2006 Maarten launched Clay Furniture, which was considered to be the absolute successor of Smoke and one of the most surprising projects of the fair.
Gallerist Moss presented this collection during the ICFF in New York, and Cibone presented a solo exhibition called Clay & Smoke.
In 2005 Baas collaborated with the design team of Ian Schrager, for the new Gramercy Park Hotel. Maarten Baas supplied Smoke furniture for each room and some Clay pieces and a Smoke billiard table for the lobby. All pieces were hand made in studio Baas & den Herder. In August 2006 the Gramercy Park Hotel opened.
In Milan, in April 2009 Maarten showed Real Time, a series of videos depicting a clock, with actors moving the hands of the clock as time passes.
In 2009 Maarten was named Designer of the Year by Design Miami. During the design fair in Miami, he presented a new piece, commissioned by Design Miami, called The Shell.
Maarten Baas currently lives and works in
Martijn Engelbregt was born in Den Haag in 1972. In his work as an artist/designer, he has produced many communication projects involving the public, including The Service art project for the Dutch Parliament in 2002.
Catalysis presents five playful Engelbregt projects: 3D Form, Restaurant, Rest, Tiny Tokyo Monument, Counterscript, and Neighbourshop, a project designed to deepen ties with one's neghbors.
Martijn Engelbregt has been described as a procedural artist. As founder of EGBG – Engelbregt Gegevens Beheer Groep (Engelbregt Data Management Group) – he designs institutes, forms, surveys, and procedures. His absurdist projects offer an ironic perspective on a sometimes Kafkaesque world.
Engelbregt studied graphic design at the Utrecht School of the Arts, graduating cum laude in 1996. During his first year, he began collecting forms, initially because he was intrigued by their graphic appearance. But soon he became even more interested in the question as to why and how people fill in these forms. "When I began experimenting with forms, my main aim was to post a warning: beware to whom you give information!" he told a newspaper. "But now I too am keen to collect data, although I handle it differently than the outside world."
Soon after his graduation, Engelbregt made a name for himself by publishing a Counterscript against unsolicited calls from telemarketers. Some years later, EGBG caused commotion by sending out official looking forms to 200.608 households in Amsterdam, asking tenants to register any illegal immigrants they might know. The main aim of the project was to discover how people would react. "It's art in the form of a research," says Engelbregt.
In 2002, he established The Service, located in an office in the Dutch Parliament, to research the possibilities of combining art and democracy. The findings were published in the hilarious Sevice Catalogue – This is the Netherlands.
Born in Tegelen in 1956, Ted Noten is a leader in the field of conceptual Dutch contemporary jewelry. Not limiting himself to the use of precious metals as raw material, he has received significant attention in the design field, winning the Françoise van den Bosch in 2008.
Noten has has worked as a bricklayer, a nurse in a psychiatric hospital and a traveller prior to studying at the Academy for Applied Arts in Maastricht, the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and becoming a senior Research Fellow at the School of Jewellery at Birmingham City University, England. Noten is now an internationally renowned Amsterdam-based jewellery designer whose work has been exhibited and purchased for public and private collections all over the world, including at the Museum for Arts and Design of NYC, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art (MIMA), Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, the Victoria and Albert Museum, Stedelijk Museum 's-Hertogenbosch, Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and Gallery Deux Poissons in Tokyo, amongst others.
He has also been awarded with the Harrie Tillie Award from the Amsterdam Fund of the Arts in 2003 and his Tiara design for Dutch Crown princes Maxima won the first prize in 2002. In 2006 his monograph CH2=C(CH3)C(=O)OCH3 and other TNs published by 010 won Best Dutch Book Designs. Since 2005, Atelier Ted Noten has extended its exclusive jewellery creations towards design projects, installations and commissions for both private collectors, cultural organisations and art institutions.
The exhibition features an installation called Ted Walk, in which 12 of his best-known pieces of jewelry presented on a fashion-show catwalk, and also a projec created specially for the exhibiton called, Wanna swap your ring? that questions the meaning of jewelry.
Tomoko Take was born in Osaka in 1970. Currently based in the Netherlands, she produces projects throughout Europe featuring workshops or performances based on the "necessities of life" (food, clothing, and shelter), that aim to promote communication between people. Her HomelessHome project, that she first produced in Amsterdam in 2003 and since throughout Europe, was inspired by the question "what does home mean to me?" that occurred to her upon hearing the word "homeless." In this exhibition she presents past video works and fashion items produced at workshops connected with the project as well as a new video work featuring the making of a performance/workshop here in Japan.
After graduation from Kyoto City University of Arts (MFA) in 1997, Take was invited to Rijksakademie van beeldende Kunsted for two years. In 1997, she started her Dutch wife / Dutch life Project, and in 1998, she started her Chiko & Toko Project in collaboration with artist Chikako Watanabe. Take won the Uriot Prize for the two projects.
In 2003 Take's HomelessHome Project won the Dutch state prize Prix de Rome (art and public space).
She is actively collaborating with different creators in the fields of art, design, fashion design, and music.

Cats: Destructive Scratching
The trick is to teach your cat what they can scratch - and what is off limits
You probably don't agree with your cat's ideas for remodeling your living room. But your cat doesn't claw the couch or scrape the drapes because they're a bad kitty.
Cats scratch for many reasons: to remove the dead outer layer of their claws, to mark their territory by leaving both a visual mark and a scent (they have scent glands on their paws), and to stretch their bodies and flex their feet and claws.
Scratching is a normal, instinctive behavior; one that you don't want to discourage completely. Instead, the goal is to get your cat to scratch acceptable objects, like a scratching post.
Watch and learn
What do cats scratch? Most cats are attracted to anything with a nubby, coarse or textured surface, or something they can really sink their claws into.
When do they scratch? When they wake up from a nap, when they want to mark their territory or when they're excited about something, like you coming home from work.
How do they scratch? Some cats like to stand up against a vertical surface; others get horizontal and stick their butts in the air for a good stretch.
Presenting alternatives
Don't scratch here
Once you've figured out your cat's preferences, you're halfway to the finish line.
- Cats are all about texture, so cover off-limits spots with things your cat will find unappealing on their paws, like double-sided sticky tape, aluminum foil, sheets of sandpaper or a plastic carpet runner with the pointy side up.
- Many cats don't like the odor of citrus or menthol. Try attaching cotton balls soaked in cologne or a muscle rub to the places you want them to leave alone.
- You may have to keep these items in place until your cat is using the scratching posts consistently, which could take weeks or months. Then remove them one at a time.
Cats just want to have fun
Scratching posts and pads are available in all shapes, sizes and materials. If you're industrious and want a DIY alternative, you can find building plans online.
- A sturdy, rope-covered upright post; a flat scratch pad of corrugated cardboard; the back side of a carpet square; even a small log with the bark still on (be sure it hasn't been treated with chemicals before bringing it inside)
- A scratching object can be free-standing, lie on the floor or hang from a doorknob; experiment to find out what your cat prefers or, even better, provide a variety of scratching objects in different places and positions.
- Rub a little catnip into the post or attach a toy to the top to make it even more attractive.
- Praise your cat for using the post or any other object that is acceptable for them to scratch.
Scratching Posts on Amazon.com»
Making it clear
Location, location, location
Put the posts where your cat wants them—next to their sleeping spot for a quick stretch after a nap, or by the front door for a really intense session after they greet you. Place posts on each level of the house so they don't have to go far to indulge.
Once your cat is regularly using their post, you can move it little by little to where you'd like it. But, really, why tempt fate? Better to leave it in their favorite spot so they leave your favorite things alone.
Stop kitty
Scolding your cat only works if you catch them scratching an off-limits object. If you correct them after the fact, they won't know what they've done wrong and could learn to fear you.
- Never yell at or hit your cat as punishment. She may start to avoid you altogether.
- If you do catch your cat shredding a "naughty spot," interrupt them by making a loud noise (clap your hands, shake a can of pennies or pebbles, slap the wall), and redirect their scratching to one of the acceptable items. Do this consistently to teach their "sofa bad, post good."
Clipping claws
Cats who are sedentary may not wear down their claws through exercise, and their nails can become overgrown. Left untrimmed, claws can grow into your cat's paw pads, leading to infection, pain and difficulty walking and using the litter box. Check your cat's claws every couple of weeks to see if they need to be clipped. Then follow our directions for trimming them.

CeBIT 2009: Intel Announces 32-Nanometer Chip
Intel's Christian Morales presented plans for production of their new 32-nanometer chip at the CeBIT 2009 in Hannover. The faster, smaller and more energy-efficient chip should secure U.S. jobs for some time to come.
Morales, responsible as VP for sales and marketing in the EMEA area, detailed Intel's plans to produce the next generation chip. Thanks to 32-nanometer technology (a human hair is 70,000 nanometers thick in comparison), the chips should be smaller, faster and more energy-efficient.
Intel is contributing about $7 million over the next two years into the chip's production, focused on sites in Oregon, Arizona and New Mexico, thereby creating possibly 7,000 new jobs.
The 32-nanometer chips, code-named Westmere, are to be used in desktop systems and mobile devices. They are based on Intel's Nehalem-C architecture and will have integrated graphics capabilities. Production is planned for the fourth quarter of 2009. The chip is definitely in the running for the smallest ever, although Morales also indicated at the CeBIT press conference that a 22-nanometer chip is also in the making.
wrong dataIntel will invest $7 billion over the next two years, not $7 million as the article here indicates.

China Facts - Pollution Information Transparency Index (PITI) (Nov. 2009)
Developing a coordinated international effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions requires, among other things, that countries have confidence in each others' capacity to monitor and mitigate their GHG emissions. Reliable emissions data in turn relies on the existence of governance systems that make energy and environmental information transparent and publicly available. In May 2008, the Chinese government took a critical step toward furthering environmental transparency by adopting a pair of sweeping disclosure measures — China's State Council Open Government Information Regulations and the Ministry of Environmental Protection's Environmental Information Disclosure Measures — which for the first time required that government bodies at all levels make certain pollution information publicly available. The Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE) and the Natural Resources Defense Council developed a Pollution Information Transparency Index (PITI) to carry out a systematic assessment of the first year of implementation for these regulations.

"I love keeping an eye on Hugo Chavez because I think it's informative and educational."
"My friend Andy McCarthy has a great way to describe Obama. To Obama, there are two Americas: the America that began upon his ascension to the throne, and then there's the America prior to that. And the America prior to January 20th was an immoral, unjust, imperfect mess."
"Okay, so follow me on this. If false promises are a concern, and if we're going to get our underwear in a wad over misleading claims, well, then, I am here to tell you that Cheerios are the least of our problems."
"Imagine if somebody were to put sugar on their Cheerios: oh, my God, what would the FDA do then? Actually, General Mills does: they're called Honey Nut Cheerios. That's a gateway drug here, folks."
"I was just watching Fox, and they had their cameras trained on Robert Gibbs at the White House, and they made his face look as pink as his tie. I mean, it looked like a 14th degree sunburn."
"If you start calling Obama a dictator, people are just going to tune you out. And if you call him a Marxist, depending on their education level, they might be happy about that."
"Obama told these guys on Wall Street, 'I'm the one thing standing between you and the pitchforks.' But what you have to understand is that Obama is putting the pitchforks in the hands of the people who are ready to storm the castle."
"I can't imagine what it would be like to get up every day and face the world as filled with rage as liberals do. I really don't know what it's like to go through the day that mad."
"Maybe we ought to start encouraging the legalization of marijuana in California. I mean, do you know how many Obama supporters would then flock there to live? Then we'd have 49 states left full of hardworking, responsible, motivated Americans, while all the potheads are all in California. Just thinking about it."
"We're going to have to add another option in the mix to explain Obama on foreign policy, and that is pure, unadulterated incompetence."

make your life easier:
if there's constants that verify the integrating factor is
I've been having some real trouble solving this differential equation, mainly because I can't figure out what method to use. The question is as follows:
Consider the differential equation:
a) Show that the given equation is not exact.
b) Find constants a and b for which is an integrating factor for the given equation.
c) Use part b) to solve the given equation.
I think it's easy to show that the ODE is not exact but I'm not sure how to do the rest...

More than 3,000 nurses in the Capital Region are finally receiving a payday they've been waiting on for seven years. Checks averaging $1,730 were mailed Friday to 3,277 nurses involved in a multimillion-dollar class action suit that alleged the area's biggest hospitals conspired to keep their wages low for four years. None of the hospitals ever admitted any wrongdoing, but all eventually settled. "These settlement payouts are a victory for registered nurses and for patients," ...

The Pilbara Infrastructure and contractor Inline Engineering Services have been charged with failing to ensure the safety of a worker who lost both his legs in a Pilbara worksite accident.
Bevan Coutts was crushed by a hydraulic arm used to tip iron ore carriages at Fortescue Metals Group's loading facility at Port Hedland on July 8, 2011.
The Department of Mines and Petroleum this week charged Inline Engineering Services and wholly-owned Fortescue subsidiary, The Pilbara Infrastructure, for failing to ensure the safety of Mr Coutts was not adversely affected by the work being undertaken.
Mr Coutts was helping remove a gearbox from a train indexer when he was caught between the indexer arm and a steel structure.
His left leg was severed and crush injuries meant his right leg later had to be amputated.
The companies were charged under section 12 of the Mines Safety and Inspection Act of WA and section 21 of the Occupational Health and Safety Act.
Safety at Fortescue's Pilbara operations has been in the spotlight after deaths and serious injuries on its mine sites over the past year.

One of the problems the military faces with several decades of working aircraft is that the command interfaces are all slightly different, therefore requiring them to be manned by different people. But now, the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) will soon debut a new "ultimate auto-pilot program" that, with any luck, will allow a single pilot to do the jobs of five crew members on a given mission.
The new system is called ALIAS, which stands for Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System. Its main goal is to streamline the incredibly complex interfaces that avionics operators have to contend with on a daily basis, and make lives easier for people flying jets. "Our goal is to design and develop a full-time automated assistant that could be rapidly adapted to help operate diverse aircraft through an easy-to-use operator interface," said DARPA program manager Daniel Patt in a statement. "These capabilities could help transform the role of pilot from a systems operator to a mission supervisor directing intermeshed, trusted, reliable systems at a high level."
One key focus we're seeing in today's military technology is reducing the workload of soldiers to make day-to-day operations safer. ALIAS will attempt to do so by integrating simple touch and voice commands, which will take over for complex tasks, like landing an airplane or piloting it to a distant destination. In theory, ALIAS will one day be able to take over planned missions from beginning to end, allowing the pilot to act more like a mission manager, issuing out commands. ALIAS will be revealed at a conference scheduled for May 14.

Shenanigans at the Western Wall
Debra Nussbaum Cohen, Jewish Daily Forward
As if things weren't difficult enough for women who want to pray or be in any way connected with their loved ones' bar mitzvahs at the Western Wall, Israel's outgoing Ashkenazi chief rabbi, Yona Metzger, has proposed a mechitzah with one-way glass.
The current mechitzah at the Kotel is, I would guess, between eight and nine feet tall. A new mechitzah would presumably reach far higher. The current height makes it possible, if you are there to celebrate a bar mitzvah, to stand on one of the chairs on the women's side and look over the top (it helps to be tall) and in this imperfect way be connected, however slightly, to the simcha. Which is exactly the problem, Rabbi Metzger says.

A little over an hour ago, we had the pleasure of welcoming rapper and short-lived "From G's to Gents" contestant Riff Raff to the office to tape a daily MTV.com video feature, which will premiere on Remote Control June 3 and run throughout the entire month. For now, we're keeping the content of the franchise top secret, but we can reveal that a certain producer peed her pants a little bit from laughing so hard during the shoot. F**k it, it was me.
Riff had a pretty good time, too. After eating us out of house and home (three deli sandwiches, a specially ordered fajita and two bags of chips, to be exact), the corn-rowed lyrical genius ran wild through the cubicle-lined halls of MTV headquarters, offending various employees as he filmed a slew of Vine videos. Not only did he claim his own corner office, but he accused one staffer of stealing administrative supplies, and another of being Tonya Harding's twin. He also called me an "emotional drain." I think I can speak for everyone in the building when I say: More, please.
Check out some of Riff Raff's Vine videos below, and stay tuned for the debut of his daily blog feature, premiering June 3!
