nasty raw dough!
December 10, 2005, 11:29:59 AM »
hey guys,
i have been experimenting more now with my preferment from sourdo.com and have noticed flavor benefits, but am having problems with lack of rise and color and areas of raw dough in the middle.
i have been using a recipe based on the lehmann style. i dissolve salt in water and add about 3/4 of the flour (with a pinch of ady) and mix. i then add my preferment (liquid) and add the rest of the flour. i let it sit for 30 minutes. i then hand knead for a few minutes (adding oil at this stage) and then divide into balls. they then rest on the counter and i use the stretch and fold technique (which does create nice big voids) over a three hour period. a total of 4 stretch and folds.
i have tried the counter rise and cold rise and only the first time did things turn out well. light and fluffy and thin.
now they are colorless, gummy and gross! i have not changed technique and know if it wasnt for the starter these would be great pizzas. the starter gets bubbly, but never bursting! it smells good and definately adds flavor, but no spring. i started adding the ady to help in the spring area.
i do cook on a pizza pan for the first 6 minutes or so and then slide it onto the tiles to crisp it up and finish the browning.
i have done this without preferment and it was very good, but with the preferment more flavor but bad everything else.
i am sure there is a ton of stuff i have left out, but any preferment suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Not clear from your post how long you ferment the dough. With natural starters only, mine ferment for at least 18 hours at room temp. At this point, I form and proof or put in the refrigerator if not using right away. Unless you ferment long enough and you start with a fully active starter, you won't get good results.

I agree with what Bill has said, but I am also wondering whether temperature was a factor in your sub-par results. You didn't indicate whether you temperature adjusted the water or how much preferment you used, but if it has turned cooler where you live, as it has recently done with a vengeance here in Texas, your room temperature may have turned cooler also. That will affect the degree and rate of fermentation. Also, your preferment may not be warm enough to really perk up. What I personally do under these circumstances is to use warmer water, more preferment, or both, or I use a longer fermentation time, or I use a simple proofing box (you can also use a slightly warm oven) to get the temperature of the preferment and dough up several degrees. I don't use a stretch and fold technique but I don't see offhand why that should make a difference.
I assume that you have not changed anything else, such as the oven temperature or bake time. I mention this because a dough will sometimes have an underbaked or raw center if the pizza isn't baked long enough or if the oven temperature is too high and the bottom of the pizza is done before the top. The rawness can also happen, of course, if you use too many toppings or too many raw toppings, especially raw vegetables. You mentioned that you used a pan for baking the pizza. That can also be a factor, especially if is a shiny, unseasoned pan (e.g., of bright aluminum). Whether or not the pan was implicated in your results, I would suggest that you use a pizza screen instead if that is an option since the screen will give you a better oven spring than a solid pan. In my experience, a cold pan with an unbaked dough on it will not produce as good an oven spring as either a pizza stone/tiles or a screen when the pizza and pan are put in the oven. A lethargic, underfermented dough will behave even more poorly.
I might also add that if you want to use active dry yeast (ADY), you should proof it first in a bit of warm water (at around 105-115 degrees F) rather than putting it in dry in with the flour. If you want to combine yeast with the flour, you should use instant dry yeast (IDY). If a too-low temperature is part of your problem and you still want to use commercial yeast along with the preferment, you might want to increase the amount of commercial yeast a bit also.
Once you consider the above points and can rule out certain possible causes for your dough's underperformance, I'd be happy to put my thinking cap back on.

thanks, guys, for the replies,
i guess the first mistake i made is with my preferment, i just dont think it is at its peak when i am using it. that thing will just not get super bubbly and frothy like i expect it too. i began adding the commercial yeast to help it along.
the pan i use is an aluminum pizza pan which is room temp. strike two.
the water temp is at around 80 degrees. the kitchen has become cooler and i have used a 16 hour counter rise and a 1 day and 2 day fridge rise and all sucked, the fridge being the worst.
i placed my last batch in my proofing box at 70 degrees over night and these were also bad. the dough acted as a yeasted dough and rose and showed all the correct signs, but no luck.
so to recap, cold pan, not sure if starter is even working, and temps too low in kitchen.
i am going to try the just commercial yeast version again and see the results.
the starter is so baffling to me. i know i am not getting peak or any performance out of it. i follow the instructions in the booklet and am not getting what i imagined would happen. it is so hard to get results when you dont even know what to look for and how it should taste wghen it comes out right.
the good thing is i definately know what i have now is dead wrong.
thanks for listening to me whine,

i guess one other thing i should mention is that i have used this method pre preferment and my results were excellent with commercial yeast. the colder kitchen is probably not helping my situation, but i have not done a commercial yeast version since it got into the twenties here in ohio. the last three batches were all starter based.
just a thought,

I have had to totally reinvent my recipe with winter setting in. I need more hydration, more yeast, and less salt. I always was aware that this stuff mattered, but I had no idea how much things could change with this significantly drier and cooler environment. The Caputo pizzeria flour seems even more fickle about the change in seasons than my King Arthur or my General Mills flours.

Don't add commercial yeast to a natural starter.....
My start goes absolutely bonkers in just a few hours at about 70 F.....I mean if the quart jar is more than about half full, I can count on a volcano. I have never used a stronger leaven of any kind, including quick yeast. I live in a cool and dry country too...well, summers can be hotter than the hubs of Hell but usually it is cool or downright cold and about 30% relative humidity.
Barometric pressure probably figures more than absolute temp or relative humidity.

This is the only psyllium husk powder I've tried, but I don't have any complains. It's great to use if you want thicker consistence to "water-like" things. I've mostly used it for baking and in pancakes. I think I will start using it in my breakfast bowl as well - to get the milk thicker.
Tasteless, which is good

I cannot help but notice the renewal and growth going on around Commercial St in anticipation of the Conference Centre. New stores and restaurants all over the place.
From what I have been able to gather, they have sold out all available space for conferences for 2008. They also have, from my source, 70+ open files (ongoing negotiations) for 2009+. What this means is that they will be sold out. The Saturday Vancouver Sun featured an article on the growth of conferences, particularly in Canada. Many that used to go south, are staying here in spite of the dollar. This is mostly attributable to the increasing hassle of getting across the border.
So we have a sold out Conference Centre, a new hotel going in downtown and many condos going in all over downtown.
Perhaps downtown is becoming the place to go again.

Skip to comments.Nationalized healthcare ZOT!
Posted on 12/17/2010 7:18:44 PM PST by B_Simons
Sorry if I'm not allowed to post this sort of thread, but I'd rather ask direct questions than interpret answers to other questions an apply them to my own.
I'm from the UK and for school work over the holidays I've got to find and explain/counter arguments for and against a political issue from another country, and I know that healthcare reform is a big one in America at the moment so I picked the easy one.
I've had good experiences with our NHS, and without it I would either be dead or my family would be deeply in debt due to my medical history (liver failure, mainly, which required a transplant). I also have asthma and as I'm 18 and still in full time education my prescribed inhalers are free. My family isn't very wealthy, my dad died when I was young from cancer (luckily his insurance paid off the remainder of the mortgage and a small amount of other debts) and my mum doesn't have a well paying job (below the national mean wage). We live modestly but don't have very financial problems.
So my questions are:
What, exactly is the problem with nationalized/socialized healthcare?
If the problem is due to it being paid for by tax increases, do you expect the increases to be larger or smaller than your current insurance cost?
Do you think it's 'fair' that people who cannot afford health insurance and have expensive medical issues should have to choose between suffering and large amounts of debt?
Do you think the quality of healthcare will improve/worsen with NHC?
Sorry if this thread isn't allowed or isn't in the right place (never used a forum like this before)
Many thanks, Brendan
You are about to see the greatest healthcare system of all time for any nation in this world's history crash and burn under socialism, and your asking us what's wrong with it???
I'll tell you what's wrong with it...
there won't be ANYWHERE for ANYONE in the world to go now.
You like your socialized medicine??? Great... Now try to find a doctor worth a damb.
Good luck.
Brendan, please stick around and read around. May I ask why you chose to post this in the GOP section?
Call in the Viking Kitties to further evaluate this thread!!!
Seems like "Brendan" is a Troll...I doubt he is even from the UK..ha.
43% of doctors polled in the US have stated that they WILL leave the practice if Obamacare is implemented.
I'd start by reading this story:
should be posted in bloggers&personal or general/chat
Socialized medicine and most healthcare insurance programs are unsustainable because they simply cover too much.
There are loads of affordable health care coverage options in the states that would cover catastrophic health conditions such as your liver conditions that would be very affordable for insurance holders who freely choose to pool risk.
However most health plans cover... routine doctor visits and other recurring costs that simply send costs over the top.
The easiest way to describe the problem with how we finance health care via the present insurance models...
Imagine what car insurance would costs if it included all of your gas and oil changes.
That's the problem in a nutshell.
I am going to focus on only one aspect of your query, as there are others to outline the general problems with national health care.
You received a liver transplant. Like so many important medical breakthroughs, liver transplants were pioneered in the U.S. It is not because we have smarter people, it is because an open system encourages such breakthroughs. If the U.S. had an NHS in 1963 you could be sure that the technology would not be nearly so far along, possibly not available at any price.
If the U.S. embraces a fully nationalized system, then medical research will become even more politicized than it is now, with popular ailments and technologies getting preferential treatment, often without regard to their true potential or likelihood of success.
The world needs a class of researchers and doctors who are not completely at the mercy of government spending. The scandal of the climate change hoax as exposed by the leaked East Anglia e-mails demonstrates what can happen when there is too much reliance on the government teat.
Yeah... we have LOTS and LOTS of stories like yours here in the US too... many with very happy endings... more than you would think.
The difference is that when someone was in need, another person, private organization, local community, religious organization, doctor, hospital, etc. etc. stepped up and lended a hand... NOT THE FREAKING FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
Federal assistance is supposed to be a last resort... NOT the first option.
You say without government health care you'd
be dead. No. Without health care you'd be
dead. The government lied to you when they
said that only the government can provide
health care. Their purpose is to get you
to think that you need "charitable" government
services. False again. Government doesn't
do charity. They do thinks for their own
purposes - such as when politicians use
tax dollars (definitely not charity because
it's not optional) to get themselves re-elected.
We've had limited government healthcare, and
most people survive because they pay into
their own health care. In other words,
they work for it like they work for food
or housing.
You've been lied to.
Hmm... you have the sound of a troll about you.
I had a British friend whose father had a stroke while her parents were visiting her in the States. He went into intensive care for several weeks while he was nursed back to health. Eventually, he was deemed well enough to travel, but he was expected to be admitted into a critical care unit once back in England.
Instead, he was admitted onto a general ward. He died within two weeks.
Point one: there is no such thing as "free" healthcare. When you convince people that healthcare can be "free" and they do not pay for it directly, their demand for it is endless, and it is necessarily rationed. This happens in every country that has "free" socialized healthcare. And the irony is that people receiving the "free" healthcare pay far more for lower quality healthcare via taxes than we pay directly to receive way better healthcare.
Point two: you get what you pay for. That is an economic reality that cannot be escaped.
I'm 54 and was diagnosed with terminal cancer 7 years ago. Medicare took care of my treatment. I am in remission now - and not dead [only God knows why].
If I was on the Obama plan, my oncologist says that I would have been denied treatment altogether - due to the classification of "terminal".
So you and your family haven't been denied a medication yet (that you know of) because it's expensive. You haven't had to stand before the death panel yet? Er, I mean Medical Advisory Board..?
Government healthcare = death care, shovel ready jobs.
First off we have nationalized health care. Walk into any emergency room in the country with any ailment, tell them you cannot afford to pay and you will get health care. Your treatment will be paid for by people who can afford to pay.
That health care is the best in the world.
Here is the rub, aside from the fact we are not socialists. Everyone will have to participate...except for the politically connected, like unions and companies that support left wing ideology. So it is no longer socialized medicine. It is medicine that is good for thee, but not for me.
Have you ever been to local office of the Department of Motor Vehicles in the U.S.?
If not, please visit one and imagine that employees just like those at the DMV will be administering your health care.
Then come back and post why you would trust those people to do a task more difficult than say, scooping out a cat pan on a daily basis.
Look Brendan. Let me address your asthma. Your inhalers are "free".
I have asthma too, Brendan. My medicine costs $130 per MONTH that I have to pay for myself, and I am on a fixed income. That is because I and my fellow Americans have to pay for the Research and Development of this wonderful stuff that keeps you and me breathing right. WE here in the States pay for the R&D so you folks in the UK can have it for free. Is that fair?
Most people I know from Great Britain say they like their healthcare. In the next breath they'll relate some story about a family member that had to fight just to receive the simplest of care.
One friend had a family member who was actively suicidal. After one failed attempt, he was sent home from hospital and his information went into the system to get some psychological help. He was still actively suicidal when he was sent home, but those were the rules and there was no way to have him hospitalized for any longer. He would wake up in the middle of the night and try to kill himself, so my friend stayed up nights watching him. When my friend inquired about when someone would see him, the wait was six months. Six months later, a social worker visited him, determined that he was indeed suicidal and placed him on the next list to actually see a mental health professional. The average wait time was 12-18 months. He attempted suicide twice during this time and disappeared in the middle of the night several times without anyone knowing where he went. Thankfully, he survived long enough to actually receive care from a mental health professional.
Another friend with medical problems was assigned a doctor who obviously didn't like her and treated her rudely. But, because he was the doctor available, she was unable to change to a different provider. He didn't take her description of her symptoms seriously and eventually she quit going to the doctor.
I could go on, but if you're actually from the UK, you've heard a million of them yourself.
That's an extremely lazy assumption.
Remember when Obama was asked if he would put his family on his plan ???
He said NO - he would want the best healthcare available ...
buh bye
(FYI, take a look at the n00b's other two posts)
1) An actual Brit student of 18 years neither speaks nor writes the way you did in this nonsensical brechenblatt charade.
2) Anyone just looking for the Yank's dichotemy would not preface the query with a longwinded explanation of Britain's own socialist system having "saved their life" several times by the tender age of "18"(!!). Seriously, the stench is appalling from that one.
3) Syntax, sentence structure, colloquialisms, all point to a rather unimaginative, predictably undereducated, dull American liberal with a limited vocabulary. I've worked in London and with and Brits for the past 25 years, and you're not even in the ballpark.
In 25 years, I've never met a Brit who liked their commie Health system. Ever.
Trot along, now, and leave the adults to our serious discussions. There's a good lad.
This is such mush.
This thread is condemned...
— no such thing as free health care —
It's not free to taxpayers, that's for sure. Government is on the hook to cover EVERYTHING. National health "care" is enormously expensive and inefficient. Private insurance companies, when unmolested by government mandates, are far cheaper and more effective.
For the relative few who really cannot get insurance, there is always emergency room and small clinic care. Not ideal but far better than a brutal Soviet-style medical system.
Bottom line of socialized medicine — longer waiting periods, dirty and decrepit hospitals, and worse recovery rates for sick people.
Do you like kitties? (moggies, if you are really are a Brit)
Viking Kittehs, that is.
Do you think it's 'fair' that people who cannot afford health insurance and have expensive medical issues should have to choose between suffering and large amounts of debt?
No, it's not fair. But that's not the point. The point is purely a governance one. That is, does a national government have the authority to enforce fairness on every facet of our lives? And at any cost to our wallets and freedoms? Does a national government have the authority to take over a portion of the insurance industry and exert its will over the medical fields?
And more importantly, SHOULD a national government have this authority and should we as free citizens allow it to happen? My answer is no.
Your own personal medical predicament is not really part of this debate. I know that sounds cold, but it is the hard painful unpleasant fact of the matter. Your own personal struggles are not my government's problem. Good luck to you.
The smell of ozone is strong with this one!
Great Pic :)
Do you think it's fair that a buerocrat decides what care you get? Do you really think that your system gives everyone unlimited access to health care, or does it ration care, even if you don't "perceive" the rationing? Some in America like to be masters of their own destiny, hard concept to understand for some.
The greatest health care system in regards to technology, pharma, procedurally, is right here in the US. There is a reason, the system allows people to make real money, gives people choices, etc..... National health care deincentivizes innovation and investment. From azt to zithromax, even in your uk you will use drugs first produced and marketed in the US in some cases by European drug firms!
Yes, you have a right to fail just like you have the opportunity to get rich. Anyone can have insurance. It's a lie that insurance is overly expensive, inaccessible etc. Walmart and McDonalds offer it to their employees, every college student can get it for little........ It is not the role of government to by law dictate what you have to purchase, to include insurance. If you make bad choices and are unfortunate, that's on you. Yes, it's perfectly fine that some people go into debt when they become I'll, because if you care check it, they did have a choice in the equation at some point.
I like the idea of being a customer, of having legal recourse, of having the doctor know that "I" pay him and that what "I" think matters. I have choices. My insurance is a private matter, it's a legal contract that I enter in with an insurance that negotiates lower fees and levels/manages risk. The buerocrat is nothing more than another layer of red tape, where political favors are paid for with my money, and in the end, EVERY health care system on this planet has to ration care, but at least here "I" choose how that care looks, you?
There are a number of problems, some of which will be addressed in replies to your questions below, some of which are actually shared by the American system, which is why many of us on FR advocate market-based reform of that system.
First, all third-party payer systems, whether nationalized health care or the heavily-regulated, insurance-dominated American system, have no means of cost containment other than rationing of care. There is no effective competition among health care providers because there is not mechanism for passing price information to the purchasers/patients. A monopsony only exacerbates this problem.
Second, governments tend to be very inefficient in the provision of goods and services in comparison to the market.
If the problem is due to it being paid for by tax increases, do you expect the increases to be larger or smaller than your current insurance cost?
Larger, due to government inefficiency.
Do you think it's 'fair' that people who cannot afford health insurance and have expensive medical issues should have to choose between suffering and large amounts of debt?
There are different notions of fairness. Is it fair for the state to deprive us of the fruits of a labours unwillingly through taxation to succor the needs of people in the circumstances you propose? Or even if fair under your notion of fairness, is it desirable to impose such fairness by force?
And why limit your argument to healthcare? Is it fair that some cannot afford as good of food as others or no food at all? Is it fair that some cannot afford shelter? or clothing? or a motorcar to get to work (on this side of the Pond, distances are rather larger and rail and bus service rather sparser)? And on and on. . .
If we are Christians, it is incumbent on us as a matter of charity to provide for those in need. But even St. John Chrysostom, who in exhortations to the wealthy to engage in charity characterized the wealth of the rich as "theft from the poor", wrote strongly against the moral hazards of state imposed redistribution of wealth.
The state is not the only social institution able to provide aid (medical care included) to those in need.
Do you think the quality of healthcare will improve/worsen with NHC?
Worsen, due chiefly to rationing and a decline in the desirability of medicine as a profession.
Finally, I will answer a question you did not ask: what reform would you advocate to the American healthcare system?
1. Equalization of tax treatment for employer-provided health insurance and health insurance purchased by the insured.
2. Creation of a mechanism by which individuals wishing to purchase health insurance for themselves or employees of a small business could band together to form voluntary health insurance purchasing groups to give them corresponding leverage with insurance companies to that exercised by large employers or labour unions.
3. Increase in effective competition in the provision of medical services by
a) insurance regulations requiring payments for services by the insured be a percentage of the cost, not a fixed copayment (this encourages finding the least expensive provider)
b) improvement of the regulatory and malpractice insurance climate for marginal competitors to physicians (nurse-practitioners, nurse-midwives, psychologists with special training to earn prescription privileges. . .)
c) requirements that physicians and hospitals publish rates for services
4. Utility-style regulation of prices for medical goods and services when a state-granted monopoly exists. This should include monopolies on pharmaceuticals, medical devices or procedures created by patent law, and might arguably include even physician's services in areas where no effective competition exists. (I find guild-monopolies as objectionable as corporate or state monopolies.) 5. Tort reform to lower malpractice insurance costs. I would propose capping non-compensatory damages (both punitive and pain-and-suffering awards) at the larger of $100,000 and three times compensatory damages (though I would allow loss of income as compensatory damages). But in conjunction with this, I would strengthen regulatory and criminal sanctions against malpractice.
Whose right is health care? Do you think it's yours?
Congressman Anthony Weiner has said that health care is not a commodity. If it isn't a commodity then do doctors and nurses have rights? Assigning health care the status of a right makes health care workers slaves to that right who must serve it. On what ground could a health care worker refuse to provide their products and services since that would violate the patient's "basic human right to health care."
That is a direct loss of individual rights for health care providers. The collective right of the people to receive health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set fees and hours or to change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge if taken to its logical extreme. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it is a right that is created and given by the government to those it chooses to give it to. It is not a natural right possessed by each person protected by the Constitution from the government. It is also a collective/state right by virtue of the fact that it would supersede individual rights when the two come into conflict. How else would the government view a right that it created and administers vs. one it has no control over?
Of course it isn't stated in any bill that a patient's right to care supersedes a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights, as always, are adjudicated in the courts. The Health Care Reform bills simply establish the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the collective right.
Weiners view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. Collectivist because it has to be described as being a right of the many instead of the one and superior due to that fact. Fascist because ultimately the sole authority for its creation and oversight is from one entity the Federal government. Totalitarian because the Federal government is the enforcer of this collective right as well. State and local jurisdictions will have little say about it.
Congressman Weiner's view is the underlying philosophy of all of the Health Care Reform legislation in the House and Senate. Consider this section in the Senate version of the bill; the setting up of community watch dogs that will monitor citizens for various health parameters. Read pages 382 - 393.
TITLE IQUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS pps 382 - 393
So, even citizens themselves will be subject to Federal regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the "human right" of universal health care. It isn't the individual's liberty that is being protected by that it is the government's control over its own health care system that is being guarded. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights? Someone will be checking your lifestyle, according to gov regulations, to be certain you serve the best interests of the "basic human right to health care" ie. "the Public Option."
HCR is not just about rationing care and wealth redistribution. It's about the end of individual rights as the corrosive effects of the new collectivist "basic human right to health care" spreads throughout the legal and political systems like a virus.
I think that the main purpose of Health Care Reform (HCR) is as a direct assault on individual liberties.

Another problem is that you're not free either. You're not even a human being as far as your government is concerned. You are a tax production unit who, statistically, must produce more revenue for the government than you take back in services. But you can't so your government borrows on what your children and grandchildren must produce to pay for you.
Our Constitution does not allow the Federal Gov't to require a citizen purchase something or be fined. (Obama and the current Speaker of the House don't realize this, or don't care)
That would be akin to the federal government mandating every citizen must purchase a firearm for the purpose of reducing crime.
The US Constitution is pretty specific on what the FEDGOV cannot do.
States, on the other hand, have more leeway.

Read his in-forum history...
#1) America is broke.
#2) This Obamacare adds an enormous added debt to our already bloated budget.
#3) It robs funds from areas where it is needed the most. Mainly Medicare.
#4) Obamacare includes 14,0000 IRS agents ready to pounce on your bank account.
#5) The individual mandate is unconstitutional under the commerce clause.
#6) America was not founded on collectivism. Individual Liberty is embedded in our DNA. We do not worship Royalty or any other form of Monarchy.
#7) The European Union is on the Brink of collapse due mainly to enormous entitlement spending.
#8) Americans beleive in Liberty over a false sense of security.
#9) Our constitution was specifically written to keep us from sliding back to a nation of subjects. (Read the Declaration of Independance)
#10) Finally, this country has overwhemlingly just recently cast a vote of "NO-CONFIDENCE" in our current administration for a vast majority of reasons.
A question not asked, nor answered, enough.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The Trombidiformes is ahuge and diverse assemblage of mites, characterized more by the lack ofcharacters found in the other major group of acariform mites(Sarcoptiformes) than by many synapomorphies of their own (Lindquist 1996). Itincludes some medically important mites (chiggers, scrub itch mites) andmany agriculturally important ones. Among the latter are spider mites(Tetranychidae) and gall mites (Eriophyidae). With the exclusion of theSphaerolichida, the Trombidiformes is also known as the Prostigmata becausethe openings to the tracheal system are towards the dorsal prosoma of themite.

Hector Foundation To Sponsor 'Ante Up For Pups' Charity Event
Casper has always impressed when it comes to its support of local charities.

This is why it comes as no surprise that Casperites have jumped at the opportunity to raise awareness for the newly-created Hector Foundation.

Expiration Date:?May 2020Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.35 lbsShipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

L-Aspartic acid plays a vital role in energy production. It is one of the components necessary to move high energy NADH molecules from the main body of a cell to its mitochondria, or primary energy-production areas. Once there, the NADH is used to generate ATP, the energy fuel that powers all the cell's activities. Besides helping with energy production, L-Aspartic acid is a major excitatory neurotransmitter.
Suggested Use
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon daily between meals.

Have sense that strength of reaction to this product depends a lot on diet, feels good but not very noticeable for me. Haven't tried going above 1/2 tsp due to neuro-excitatory.

You'll Never Guess What This Chic Cottage Used To Be...
When the owner of this 19th-century Normandy village house first moved in three years ago, he thought he would simply give the place a coat of paint. After all, it had been completely restored, including the construction of a 1,000-square-foot addition, in the 1980s. Everything seemed in relatively good shape. But upon closer inspection of the master bath, he saw that beneath the marble was pretty wood paneling. He called on interior designer Franz Potisek, who had also renovated the owner's Left Bank apartment in Paris, and together they decided to rip out the marble and tile except for the flooring, replace all the fixtures, and repaint the paneling in light colors, so it looked "like it was the house's original bathroom," Potisek says. The problem was, once that was done, "the rest of the house looked awful in comparison," he says with a laugh. "So we kept going."
In the drawing room of a 19th-century Normandy house decorated by Franz Potisek, the 19th-century armchairs are French, the cocktail table is custom made, and the curtains are of a plaid wool by Sanderson. The door and walls are painted in Zuber's Matte in Noir de Fumée, Femme Chocolate, and Frau Gretschen, and the beams are in Farrow & Ball's Estate Emulsion in Eating Room Red.
The key to the makeover was the use of color—a lot of it. The owner suggested "green with touches of violet, or blue with touches of red," Potisek recalls. "But I didn't want it to be rustic, with plain wood, like you see in most country houses. I find that sad."
Potisek designed the dining room cabinetry, the late-20th-century chairs are Spanish, the French chandelier is from the late 19th century, and the early-20th-century rug is from the Middle East.
BEFORE & AFTER: A 106-Year-Old Home Restored To Its Former Glory

Speer: We must never forget Holocaust
All too often these days politics and government at any level – local, state and federal – leaves me disappointed, frustrated and angry.
Just when I'm ready to give up and leave for Canada (or at the very least, Onaway), someone does something noteworthy, nice or just plain sensible, and my confidence is temporarily restored.
So it was this week from Lansing, where state lawmakers, faith leaders and the public gathered together to remember the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust.
In a world where some global leaders maintain the Holocaust never existed, remembering it, and the evil impact of ethnic cleansing efforts, should never be forgotten, never trivialized and never overlooked.
Painful as it is to remember such dark days, that pain can serve as a strong catalyst for us to never allow such inhumanity to occur again.
According to Michigan Lt. Gov. Brian Calley "remembering the Holocaust grows increasingly important every year."
As age reduces the generations who lived through the Holocaust years of World War II, the most we are left with are the written accounts, photographs and memories left behind. Yet what we do have is powerfully moving, humbling and horrific in its intensity. It is a bitter reminder of mankind at its worst.
If I had my way every student would have to visit the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., before high school graduation. Trust me, it is a museum that shakes you to your core because of its content. It is a museum that brings the strongest of men to tears. It is a museum filled with simple, everyday reminders of life, surrounded by a dark and evil cloud of death.
Why do we need to remember the Holocaust?
We need to understand that denial of the Holocaust is nothing more than antisemitism. We need to remember that even today genocide and ethnic cleansing occurs in Africa. In Europe just years ago we saw it occur in the Baltics.
And, as the world watches closely the unrest in the Middle East, we wonder whether genocide is occurring in Syria, or why Christians are being persecuted in Egypt.
In a world where the Taliban treat women no better than common possessions, where relief workers bringing books to schools or polio vaccine workers are being ambushed and killed, we have to be saddened and alarmed.
Enough is enough. Chaos cannot be allowed to reign. Insanity doesn't have to be the norm. Fear and intimidation don't have to greet you each morning.
These are the reasons we cannot forget the Holocaust.
Never again.
We cannot, must not, let it ever happen again.
That is why remembering the Holocaust is important. I'm pleased our state's lawmakers and leadership thought so as well.

Official Rules
No purchase is necessary to register/win.
The Checkered Flag Challenge is open to legal U.S. citizens age 21 years or older living within the immediate broadcast area of WAFL-FM, WNCL-FM, WXDE-FM, and WAVD-FM.
The Checkered Flag Challenge is a feature of select Delmarva Broadcasting radio station websites, specifically Eagle977.com, Cool1013.com, Delaware1059.com and 971TheWave.com. Winners are selected from the best scores of all players from all participating websites combined.
You may only submit one entry per week. If more than one entry from the same person is found, only the first submission will be accepted, regardless of whether those entries are submitted from different websites.
We encourage playing each and every week of the contest. As opposed to other Delmarva Broadcasting contests,
you may play again immediately after winning
, to help your chances of winning the grand prize.
Each week's NASCAR race entry form is posted by 5pm on Monday of that week. The entry form includes every driver currently listed on the official NASCAR.com Sprint Cup Standings Page and Drivers Page.
Drivers cannot be selected in consecutive weeks. Any driver chosen in the previous race will not be available to be selected for the following race. Thus, your drivers list will change week to week throughout the contest, and will not be the same as other players' lists.
To enter, complete the weekly online entry form by selecting the five drivers you believe will finish in first through fifth places in the next race. All entries must be received by the deadline posted (which will be approximately one hour prior to the time listed as race start on the official
2016 NASCAR schedule
Entries will be scored based on the finishing position of the drivers selected. If one of the drivers you pick finishes in the top 5, you will be awarded points as follows:
1st place - 100 points
2nd place - 90 points
3rd place - 80 points
4th place - 70 points
5th place - 60 points
Additionally, you will earn 25 bonus points for each driver whose position you pick exactly.
Example: If your 3rd place driver actually does finish in 3rd place, you earn 80 points for the 3rd place finish, plus a 25 point bonus for correctly guessing the position, for a total of 105 points for that driver.
Scoring is based on the
you pick, not on team or car number. You will only receive points based on how the drivers you pick fare. If there is a substitute driver on a team for any given week, that substitute driver is credited with the points he wins,
the driver who usually drives that car.
Our scoring method does not factor in whether a driver is competing for a Sprint Cup championship. If a driver races in a Sprint Cup race, you can earn points for picking him/her.
The Checkered Flag Challenge schedule includes only the 36 Sprint Cup Points events. The season starts with the Daytona 500, and does not include the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race or Showdown.
Weekly prizes will be awarded each week to the player with the highest score for each individual race of the contest. Checkered Flag Challenge players are only allowed to win ONE (1) Weekly Prize for each half of the contest. If the top scoring player has already won a Weekly Prize for the current half of the contest, the prize will move down to the next highest scoring person who has NOT won a Weekly Prize.
Weekly scores are accumulated and tallied for overall scores. Only a player's best 15 scores will be used in figuring their overall score. At the end of the first half of the Sprint Cup Season (on July 10, 2016), the player with the highest overall score wins the first-half grand prize.
Upon awarding the first-half grand prize, all total scores will be reset to zero. The above process will be repeated to find the second-half grand prize winner after the final race of the 2016 season, using only the races after July 10, 2016.
In the event of a tie in determining the winner of Weekly or Grand Prizes, the contest judges will hold a random drawing of the tied eligible entries to determine a prize winner.
Players must register for an account and log-in using their username and password to submit picks for each race. One account per person. Total scores from different accounts
cannot and will not
be combined.
You must supply a valid email address when creating an account. Email addresses that are found to be bad or unknown will invalidate your entry.
Delmarva Broadcasting is not responsible for lost entries, technical difficulties, acts of God, and any other issues that may cause problems with playing the contest.
Employees, agents, successors, assignees, advertising agencies, promotional companies, immediate family members, household members, sponsors, agents, affiliates, parent companies, vendors, and suppliers of Delmarva Broadcasting Company, and others acting on their behalf are ineligible to participate.
Prize Winners waive any and all claims of liability against the contest sponsors for any damages, injuries, or other losses which relate directly to the contest.
Prize Winners are responsible for paying any and all taxes associated with the prizes.
Prize Winners' names and their likenesses may be used by Delmarva Broadcasting for promotional purposes without further compensation to winners.
Void where prohibited by law.
Delmarva Broadcasting reserves the right to disqualify or modify any entry for any reason.
Rules subject to change without notice.

My collection of samples is starting to get a little out of control. I think this has something to do with becoming pickier about which teas I choose to buy cakes of. So I am end up with many more samples.
I am curious as to how others deal with/ organize there sample hordes. M I used to have a sample drawer but that has long since become to small.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: I love this race!In full: The conditions were horrendous today which kinda added to the fun. This was my third year running and I will run it every year without fail. If you love UK trail running this race is a must it has it all. Thanks Dr. Rob another great day and thanks to the brilliant marshals who stuck it out in that horrible rain. Date of review: October 13, 2013
In short: Slippery when wet.In full: School boy error. Wore roadies, should have wore trail shoes. Apart from that it was fun, well supported and a good way to end the year. Really felt for the man who ran into a lampost within the first mile. Nasty head wound but he soldiered on. I think the fact that this race is on the 23rd of December is the reason for it's success. Change that and some of the appeal would be lost. Date of review: December 23, 2012
In short: FantasticIn full: Really enjoyed that today. Everything was perfect the mud, the course, the scenery, the organisation and the atmosphere. One of the true great trail marathons in the UK.Date of review: October 21, 2012
In short: Ok ReallyIn full: Nice race i suppose. Nothing offensive, very well organised and friendly.The problem is there was no wow factor. The bus tranfers worked perfect, the marshalls were great and the route was fine but it's not one that will stay with me forever. Glad i run it but won't be rushing back next year.Date of review: October 7, 2012
In short: Muddy hell!In full: Fantastic race with lots of added mud. Spent the best part of 9 hours in ankle deep water and mud. Great. I went over 3 or 4 times and was caked in it. The consolation of that was that my feet were so cold that I didn't feel any pain in them. Also the wind at points was gale force and I couldn't run into it. Anyone who dare to open a gate on their own was flung over and required assistance to close it again.All in all it was a great race and highly recommended. The organisation is great as is the route just glad I didn't have to come in in the dark. Beware if you consider entering any of these events as they are as hard as nails but fun in a sick kinda way.Date of review: December 5, 2011
In short: Tough but funIn full: Really enjoyed this race. Great route, well organised and hard as nails. I love a scenic route and this is one of the best especially the last 6 mile over the seven sisters. Also it's tough very tough. I was trying to save some energy for the Greensands mara the following day but no chance of that. Luckily for me Greensands wasn't too tough. Date of review: October 23, 2011
In short: Nice trailIn full: I did enjoy this race today the trails were fantastic with a great route not the toughest I've run but still fun. Nice t-shirt, hat, medal and the brekkie at the end was a nice touch. One major complaint was the cut off. Everyone went flat out at the start to ensure they made the cut off but surely it is more dangerous than to let people go off at a sensible pace. There were a few first time marathoners there today who may have got injured by going off too fast or totally blown their legs by mile 20 with no chance of finishing. Surely the organiser should just say before entry that if you haven't run a 5hr mara then don't enter. I ran about 4hr 20ish but still felt under pressure from the cut off that I made by 8mins. Even the stern marshall at half way referred to us 2hr+ turnarounders as stragglers. Date of review: October 23, 2011
In short: Forget your pb but what a raceIn full: I have competed in many good ultras but this is a real highlight. The weather was red hot which for Oct 1st is unheard of but with that came crystal clear skies. The scenery on this event was the best i've experienced bar none. The course was so hard with killer climbs, technical trails and steep descents. The descent across the dragons back was a real treat and probably one of the best i've ever run.. If you get chance you must do this race. Bring on round 2. Date of review: October 1, 2011
In short: Very tough race!In full: One of the toughest races I've run my legs are really rather sore after that. Great scenery, cheap as chips and all very friendly. Nice way to spend a sunday.Date of review: July 25, 2010
In short: More ups than downs..In full: Fantastic race. Lovely selection of trails. Really well organised and marshalled. Bread pudding at the end was worth the entry fee alone.Date of review: June 20, 2010

Nintendo Wii is clearly winning this round of video game console war, but the future of Nintendo may not be rosy, according to analyst Michael Pachter. The more advanced Wii U is technically speaking not the next generation of consoles, but rather a patch for Nintendo in its fight for lucrative hardcore gamers.
"The Wii U is a pretty ambitious undertaking. It's a new console, with new controls and architecture, but it's not quite 'next' generation. Developers have to contend with differences between the Wii U and current generation consoles, then have to figure out what to do with the controls," said Michael Pachter, a Wedbush Securities analyst, reports Industry Gamers web-site.
Nintendo Wii U combines motion-sensing game play with the ability to support full HD graphics and generally performance demanding games that can run on consoles like Microsoft Xbox 360 or Sony PlayStation 3. The system itself is based on a custom IBM Power microprocessor as well as a modern custom AMD Radeon HD graphics processing unit with high-definition graphics and video support. But the main feature of the code-named Cafe game console is its unique controller with 6.2" touch-screen that also features an accelerometer and a gyroscope, a rumble feature, an inward-facing camera, a microphone and speakers that can be used to play both classic Gamecube/Wii games as well as specially designed titles that take advantage of the screen. Each Wii U console will be partnered with a new controller and can also use up to four additional Wii Remote or Wii Remote Plus controllers. The system is also backward compatible and can play all Wii games and use all Wii accessories. Nintendo Wii U will cost more than $249.
"The timing is still up in the air, and as far as I know, there are no significant third party 'exclusives'. Instead, we'll see iterations of third party games already on the market, which is unlikely to drive significant hardware sales. In order for the launch to be 'hugely successful', the console will need three things: a competitive price, compelling first party launch titles, and compelling third party launch titles. We don't know if the Wii U will have any of these, so it's quite difficult to predict a hugely successful launch," concluded Mr. Pachter.

Right there should be the main reason why this idea of an "intermediate" place between earth and Heaven must be tossed out on its ear. Christians have been given the Holy Scriptures as our sole guide of what is truth for Christians. How dare a mere man - regardless of hierarchy place - proclaim sovereignty ABOVE the very words of God? Here's a thought: If it isn't in Scripture, or proven by Scripture, it is NOT binding on a Christian to believe. To discount the authority of the Scriptures is to surrender to fallible men the freedom to create their own truth, and God will NOT ignore such belligerence.
If the Words do not come from the Mouth of God Himself...then it came from the imagination of man. I will stick to the Word of God Thank you. It is the Only Truth God gave to man.
P.S. Jesus Christ paid it ALL for Salvation, it really grieves my spirit to think that His sacrifice was not quite good enough for the Catholic Church...what a shame...I pray God will reveal His Word to you.
Great list of scripture in second half.
Can you show me that in Scripture?
Can you give me a list of the books of the Bible from Scripture?
Glad to hear that, let's start out with where it's found.
1Tm:3:15: But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. (KJV)
You see, we Catholics have a Church to guide us and tell us what we need to know about getting to heaven, we don't have to worry about the "the imagination of man" leading us astray as so many have been since the Reformation.
"I am getting rather tired of being asked to prove everything from the Bible, as if the Bible were the only test of what we must accept or reject."
I would get tired of that too if I were trying to teach doctrine not found in God's word.
Lets go back one verse to 1 Tm 3:14
14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
15But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.
Now it becomes clear that Paul was telling them in his letter (inspired by God) the things they needed to know until he came to see them shortly. How to act in God's Church.
GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995) translates as this
in case I'm delayed. I want you to know how people who are members of God's family must live. God's family is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of the truth.
Darby Bible Translation translates as this
but if I delay, in order that thou mayest know how one ought to conduct oneself in God's house, which is the assembly of the living God, the pillar and base of the truth.
God's infallible Word needs to be our guide, not a fallible church.
I still see the church as the pillar of the truth in those verses.
If that were so, shouldn't the above assertion be itself someplace in the Holy Scripture?
Shouldn't, further the assertion that the Church is our sole guide (Mt. 18:17) be not in the scripture?
"841 The Church's relationship with the Muslims. "The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day."
This is way above your pay grade your not a canon lawyer. He is talking about within the context of Invincible Ignorance. Notice the word Plan in the statement not salvation. The plan is laid down for salvation.
Christ said He that believe in me has eternal life if he does not he is already condemned. Now does this mean a child who hears or a handicapped mental child or adult who does not understand is condemned. No! What about the rare few who for no fault of their own either what background( Muslim or whatever) never heard or understood what this means. This is noted for these few in the statement. They will be judged on what they do know like the Apostle Paul states and implies. Their conscience is judged.
So now little children and babies go to hell. I believe they are ignorant of the situation. What about mentally challenged. What about people who do not just understand. I believe most do understand the Basic Gospel. Most will go to hell as stated in scripture who knowly reject. I knew people who out right did not care even if it was true when I witnessed.
If God can see whats inside a person's belief or unbelief for real. If he wants to forgive for ignorance who are you to say otherwise.
You just do not get it. It's still beyond your view. May God bless and Keep you safe. Praise Jesus! Thy Kingdom Come! Thy will be Done!
So why does Christ say blessed the little One's
In Matthew 18:10, Jesus says of children: "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven"
WHY So their set up for hell. Very Morbid.
I'm wondering how, in this theology, you would avoid the conclusion that individuals are not responsible for their sin (only God is) or the call for each to repent as Jesus taught?
I have believed in Purgatory from as far back in childhood as I can remember, just as I have believed abortion was murder from as soon as it occurred to me someone could do that heinous deed, and this was in the absence of any significant early Catholic education. I am certainly no Saint and did the usual wild teenager things but have never wavered from my fundamental Catholic beliefs. Maybe the Holy Spirit provided some assistance along the way?
The individual free will choice to respond to God's grace and love by repenting and taking responsibility for our sins would reconcile it for me. And be according to what scripture plainly states as you note.
Having no choice, or the choice predetermined as I believe you are arguing, is what I have a hard time reconciling, theologically. Without choice, I can't see how there can be responsibility.
Thanks very much for your courteous reply.
Expected straw man argument. Your own religion teaches that the Holy Scriptures are divinely inspired and as the Word of God they are given to Christians for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. (II Timothy 3:15-17)
Therefore, the argument should be about what Scripture teaches about this so-called Purgatory, NOT whether or not Scripture is relevant. So, based upon that, the question remains "What does Scripture teach about Purgatory?". The answer is NOT ANYTHING. The verses quoted in an attempt to prove the concept by Scripture is obviously lame. Every one given is never in support of such a place. In fact, Scripture very clearly teaches that there is never any need for such a place.
We know from many Scriptures that ALL have sinned, ALL are in need of a Savior. Proverbs 20:9 says, "Who can say, 'I have kept my heart pure; I am clean and without sin'?" Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
We also know that without the shedding of blood there is NO remission of sins. Hebrews 9:22-23 says, "In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness." Leviticus 17:11 says, "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul."
And lastly, we know that through the blood of Jesus Christ, we are cleansed from all sin. Hebrews 9:22-28 is very clear, "In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. It was necessary, then, for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in Gods presence. Nor did he enter heaven to offer himself again and again, the way the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own. Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.
We know that there is no other "place of cleansing" but Jesus Christ and that we are made holy, sanctified, justified, made righteous by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He gave his life in place of ours, and by his sacrifice - his once for all sacrifice - we may enter Heaven when we die. We have been cleansed of ALL sin, there is no need for an intermediate place for further cleansing. To teach this (Purgatory) is to ignore Scripture and the entire purpose for the cross. That is why we can count on the Holy Scriptures for the Holy Scriptures are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. (II Timothy 3:15)
The Holy Scripture indeed equips the Catholics to do every good work and especially to teach. But the Holy Scripture is not the only source of such teaching, the Catholic Church as a whole is. It is of course relevant what the scripture says about the Purgatory, but one should not expect a treatise on Purgatory embedded in the scripture, just like there is no treatise about the Trinity embedded in the Holy Scripture. As the authors say,
The Catholic Church has Scriptural authority for whatever doctrines she teaches, insofar as she was appointed to be the teacher of mankind by Christ. It would not really matter whether a given doctrine were contained in Scripture or not. While everything in the Bible is true, not everything true is in the Bible.
I am waiting to hear an answer: "shouldn't the assertion that Holy Scriptures is our sole guide, be itself someplace in the Holy Scripture?"
"What does Scripture teach about Purgatory?". The answer is NOT ANYTHING. [proceeds quoting much scripture about Christ Our Savior]
The authors of the article showed you the relevant scripture. An intellifgent conversation could happen if it commented on the relevant scripture rather than quoting something you think is relevant and ignoring the article about which you attempt to opine.
We know that there is no other "place of cleansing" but Jesus Christ and that we are made holy, sanctified, justified, made righteous by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. He gave his life in place of ours, and by his sacrifice - his once for all sacrifice - we may enter Heaven when we die. We have been cleansed of ALL sin, there is no need for an intermediate place for further cleansing
This is a non-sequitur. Christ indeed alone sanctifies, but this doesn't speak to the issue whether the sancification happens on earth only or also in the Purgatory. If you read the article closely, you would have found this point addressed:
855. Would not the blood of Christ shed for all sinners cleanse their souls?
It could do so, did souls make full and perfect use of it. But the precious blood of Christ does not cleanse the souls of men in spite of themselves. Men have to do their part by sincere repentance and by the yielding of their souls to Christ in faith and love. But there are degrees of repentance, and faith, and love. Granted perfect repentance, and faith, and love, a soul participates fully in the effects of the precious blood of Christ. All sins are then expiated, and no further expiation in purgatory will be required. But some souls have very imperfect repentance, and faith, and love; while others have none at all. The precious blood of Christ does its work in a soul proportionately to the dispositions of that soul.
I often wonder something similar. It appears that God leads His elect differently: some grasp the faith as children and it remains with them since childhood. Others go through much struggle as adults:
[14] I am the good shepherd; and I know mine, and mine know me. [15] As the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father: and I lay down my life for my sheep. [16] And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. (John 10)
During my conversion to Catholicism (I was baptized Orthodox) I often marveled: -- "Why, this is what I always believed". But I never had ANY religious instruction as a child. It just felt as if I knew what I was not really told.
And your Guardian Angel.
The proof texting is so bad that it is laughable.. read in context PLEASE
Purgatory is not in the scripture ANYWHERE ..
Praise Jesus and Hail Mary!!
Praise His Name!!
Praise Jesus and Hail Mary!!
God works in mysterious ways, with flawed tools like you and me
Seems to me everything should be excused in your soteriology.
Whether you're saved or doomed is determined before you're born.
You cannot choose to accept or reject Christ.
How can someone be held responsible if they cannot act otherwise?

Busy Weekend for U.S. Beach Volleyball
Kristina Harter, Communications Intern, Phone: (719) 228-6800, Email: email@example.com
USAV Facebook - @USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Aug. 19, 2013) – It was an eventful weekend in beach volleyball where three tournaments took place.
Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP)
