Medicaid seems to be a lightening rod for inaccurate assumptions such as it's too expensive for states (it's a good deal for states), overall cost (more cost-effective than private insurance) and beneficiaries using hospital Emergency Departments for routine care. Until recently, there had not been much research to refute the perception of Medicaid patients using hospital EDs for non-urgent care. This summer, a report by the Center for Studying Health System Change looked into the issue and found that non-urgent use of the ED by non-elderly Medicaid patients was NOT disproportionately higher than privately insured patients.
Even when taking into consideration the barriers Medicaid patients encounter when seeking primary care, a research brief by Sommers et al. released in July found that only about 10% of ED visits by non-elderly Medicaid beneficiaries are for non-urgent symptoms.
The same HSC study found that while non-elderly Medicaid beneficiaries do have higher rates of overall ED use when compared with private insurance beneficiaries, only 13% of this difference can be explained by non-urgent visits. Most of the difference between the two groups of patients is due to the poor health status of many Medicaid beneficiaries aged 21-64; partly evidenced by the their higher rates in seeking care for multiple medical conditions as well as for injuries. The researchers suggest the former may be the result of barriers to primary and specialty care, and the latter due to a higher percentage of disability among Medicaid beneficiaries.
Sommers et al., put forth some ideas to alleviate the burden felt by hospital EDs; greater adoption of patient-centered medical homes (PCMH) by providers, creating more capacity to care for a high-volume of urgent medical problems in lower cost settings, and broader payment reforms, such as ACOs, that move away from fee-for-service. Citing evidence of its ineffectiveness, instituting co-pays is not an idea that they champion.

POUGHKEEPSIE – Former Marist baseball player Zach Shank has been promoted to the High Desert Mavericks, the Seattle Mariners' organization's High Class A affiliate in the California League.
Shank began his season with the Clinton LumberKings, Seattle's Class A affiliate in the Midwest League. In 69 games, he batted .302 with six home runs, 30 runs batted in, 49 runs scored and 17 doubles. He also stole seven bases, had an on-base percentage of .378 and a slugging percentage of .460. Defensively, he displayed his versatility by seeing action at every position except pitcher and catcher.
On May 7, Shank played a key role as Clinton came back from a 17-1 deficit in the sixth inning for a 20-17 victory at Burlington in 12 innings. In the contest, Shank hit his first home run of the season, and went 3-for-6 with three RBIs and two runs scored.
Shank was drafted by Seattle in the 28th round of the 2013 Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft. He started all four years as a Red Fox, primarily as a third baseman in 2010 before shifting to shortstop for the 2011-13 seasons. He played in 200 games in his collegiate career, and made 195 starts. As a senior, Shank was named First Team All-MAAC.
Shank finished his Marist career ranked first all-time in program history with 681 assists. He also ranks in Marist's top 10 in games played, at bats, runs, hits, RBIs, stolen bases and total chances. He improved his batting average, on-base percentage, slugging percentage, runs scored and total bases every season of his career. Shank was also named to the MAAC All-Academic Team in 2011.
The Marist baseball program has had 17 players drafted in its history, including six since the 2011 season.

Date of Stay: April, 2011
We stayed five nights, could not have better. Owners and help very attentive. Owner even gave us detailed driving directions before he was aware we were staying here. (His wife had registered us.) Very quiet and family friendly. Close enough to drive into city of Austin, near north suburbs and Lake Travis.
Date of Stay: April, 2011
I noticed the rates are not current on your website. The $33 we paid was a Good Sam rate. Wifi is an extra charge, and the directions to use it are lengthy and complicated. A park is not family friendly if they add a fee for each child age two and over, it is $3. If you are not out by 11am you will be charged another half day. Close to a major highway.

WEB ADS: House Republicans' Broken Congress – Make It Stop.
After Speaker John Boehner bragged that the goal of his broken Congress is to repeal laws, not find solutions, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee launched web ads in the districts of vulnerable House Republicans demanding they stop being part of the problem. On Face the Nation this weekend, Speaker Boehner said that House Republicans should be "judged on how many laws we repeal."
"Americans want jobs and solutions, not the partisanship and obstruction from Speaker Boehner and House Republicans that hurts the middle class," said Emily Bittner of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "If this gridlock and partisanship don't stop, Americans will put a stop to Republicans' broken Congress at the ballot box."
Here is an example of the web advertisement running in Congressman Michael Grimm's (NY-11) district:
"Congressman Grimm – Make It Stop"
Members of Congress in the following districts will be featured in the online ad campaign:
- Congressman Mike Coffman (CO-06)
- Congressman Rick Crawford (AR-01)
- Congressman Rodney Davis (IL-13)
- Congressman Jeff Denham (CA-10)
- Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick (PA-08)
- Congressman Tim Griffin (AR-02)
- Congressman Michael Grimm (NY-11)
- Congressman Bill Johnson (OH-06)
- Congressman David Joyce (OH-14)
- Congressman John Kline (MN-02)
- Congressman Tom Latham (IA-03)
- Congressman Frank LoBiondo (NJ-02)
- Congressman Gary Miller (CA-31)
- Congressman Tom Reed (NY-23)
- Congressman Scott Rigell (VA-02)
- Congressman Jon Runyan (NJ-03)
- Congressman Lee Terry (NE-02)
- Congressman David Valadao (CA-21)
- Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07)
Boehner: Congress "Ought to be Judged on How Many Laws we Repeal." "House Speaker John Boehner says Congress 'ought to be judged on how many laws we repeal.' The Ohio Republican makes the comments on an interview aired Sunday on CBS "Face the Nation." He was responding to a question about how little Congress is doing these days."

None of the Bills Approved by Congress This Year "Have Been Focused on Employment." "In the six months and four days since the 113th Congress began, it has passed 13 laws.

(CNSNews.com) - Families of U.S. soldiers wounded in the war against terrorism are receiving free airfare so they can be with their loved one through medical rehabilitation and the gifts come from their fellow Americans.
The Fisher House Foundation inaugurated this program in January 2004, which allows average Americans who have accumulated travel miles with a participating airline to donate them to wounded soldiers and their families.
Since the beginning of last year, more than 525 million miles have been donated, resulting in four thousand tickets for the family members of wounded soldiers.
"We go through anywhere from 2.5 million to 3.5 million miles a week," James Weiskopf, vice president of communications at the Fisher House Foundation, told Cybercast News Service.
The Fisher House Foundation's effort follows a similar program initiated in October 2003 by U.S. Rep. "Dutch" Ruppersberger, a Maryland Democrat. Ruppersberger's Hero Miles program allowed frequent fliers to donate airline miles to the soldiers themselves who were trying to get home.
Until last year, Defense Department policy only allowed the government to pay for soldiers to fly to gateway cities. From that point on, the soldiers were responsible for their connecting flights home.
Heather Molino, press secretary for Ruppersberger, told Cybercast News Service that soldiers were often forced to choose between the following: "either put food on the table or fly home for a few weeks. They shouldn't have to make that choice," Molino added. "These women and men are putting their lives on the line for our country."
With Ruppersberger fighting for legislative changes, the Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act was signed by President Bush on Oct. 29, 2004, allowing, among other things, the Defense Department to pay for soldiers' flights all the way home.
The Fisher House Foundation's Weiskopf said there usually isn't much planning before family members get on a plane to be with their loved one during the recuperative period.
"Most tickets are last minute," Weiskopf said, estimating that each ticket costs the airlines about $1,000. The foundation also pays for the airport security fees and taxes, increasing the overall cost of the program thus far to more than $4 million, he said.
Nearly every airline in the United States is participating, according to Weiskopf. Delta Airlines was the first to sign up, but others were quick to join, despite the financial straights that several of them faced at the time.
Some airlines have even offered to match their travelers' donations of frequent flier miles. American Airlines began its July 4 "Spirit of 1776" campaign asking its frequent fliers to donate 17,760,000 miles, pledging to match mile-for-mile each donation until the goal was reached.
"We were encouraged by the generosity of our AAdvantage members," Tim Smith, corporate communications manager for American Airlines, told Cybercast News Service.
After barely a month since the campaign began, American Airlines has exceeded its goal by 10 to 11 million miles, Smith said. "We have a long history of community involvement. It is an ingrained part of our corporate philosophy -- supporting the communities who support us -- but this goes beyond a community. This is a nation."
Zachary Fisher, founder of the organization that bears his name, died in 1999. Fisher "remembered that he was able to prosper in this great country because of the military men and women" who secured his freedoms, Weiskopf said. He felt that "America takes its men and women of the military for granted and doesn't do enough for them."
Today, the foundation's Hero Miles program "brings families and friends to [the soldiers'] bedsides," Weiskopf said. "They needed a support network," and the foundation, he said, has a long history of providing such help.
The Fisher House Foundation also currently operates 33 houses, built to provide inexpensive and sometimes free housing to the families of wounded soldiers.

Oregon Might Brand Lumber with Green Seal of Approval
April 26, 2005 12:00 AM - Michael Milstein, The Oregonian
If Oregon is so well-known for its forests, could it offer its own brand of lumber? That's what the Oregon Department of Forestry is asking. State leaders are investigating the possibility of seeking environmental certification for Oregon forests, a kind of green seal of approval that might help set the state's wood apart and compete in a changing market

Jose Bosingwa has been fined two weeks' wages by Queens Park Rangers for refusing to sit on the substitutes' bench during their first Premier League win of the season.
Harry Redknapp imposed the maximum punishment possible on Bosingwa after taking exception to the full-back's reaction to being dropped for last Saturday's 2-1 win over Fulham.
Bosingwa, who joined Rangers from Chelsea this summer on a contract reportedly worth £50,000 a week, was said to have stormed out of Loftus Road after learning of his axing.
The 30-year-old has also been left out of the squad for today's game at Newcastle.
It had been claimed that was the result of injury but it could well be an additional punishment for his breach of discipline.

New Zealand will field a quintet with a tasty blend of experienced and new riders for the three-day event at this month's World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.
The two six-time Olympians, Mark Todd and Andrew Nicholson, will spearhead the New Zealand campaign in Lexington, while Clarke Johnstone and Jonathan Paget provide the up-and-coming component.
There are no guarantees, but coach Eric Duvander rates it a good combination, capable of pushing hard for success. These are all young horses and have hardly hit their prime, so they are looking good for [Kentucky] and the London Olympics," he said.
Double Olympic individual champion Todd will ride 10-year-old bay gelding NZB Grass Valley, while Nicholson, the former world No 1-ranked eventer, is in the happy position of having three possible rides.
His first choice is Nereo, a 10-year-old gelding, but he also has Mr Cruise Control and Armada as good quality alternatives should anything go amiss with Nereo leading into competition.
"He's in a good position of having several horses that are very competitive at that level," Duvander said.
Powell, fifth at Badminton this year and ranked No 8 in the world, was at the last Games four years ago, but it will be a first-time experience for Waikato rider Johnstone and Paget, who hails from Wellsford.
The strong, hardy New Zealand horses traditionally hit their straps in the cross-country and jumping phases. The opening dressage phase, requiring the horses to perform dainty, intricate, disciplined movements, is the one they tend to get through as best they can.
Duvander expects a gruelling cross-country layout.
"I've been there several times and it's going to be quite an endurance test, very undulating.
"We know the style of the course-builder [Michael Everington Smith, who built the Hong Kong Olympic course two years ago] so we're halfway there, but the course will remain secret until we arrive."
Horses and riders arrive about a week earlier, with the horses having two days in quarantine.
As for prospects, Duvander is quietly optimistic. "They're all very capable and I've got a lot of confidence in all the riders. The good thing with this group is we've got a good balance and with two new riders who are super-talented.
"Our goal is to step up from Hong Kong [when New Zealand finished fifth], take a step closer to the podium. If that happens this time, great."
New Zealand eventing team for World Games, Kentucky, September 25-October 10:
* Mark Todd and NZB Grass Valley;
* Andrew Nicholson and Nereo;
* Caroline Powell and Mac Macdonald;
* Jonathan Paget and Clifton Promise;
* Clarke Johnstone and Orient Express.

Primer problems
I seem to be having problems with the primer I'm using at work its Evercoat Uro-Fill , Acrylic Urethane primer . What seems to be happening is that it 'sinks' a few days after the vehicle is painted and all body work areas and deep sand scratches show up . The last one in particular was a Lamborghini kit car that I painted that we boarded out the special primer they had on the fibreglass (brand unknown) with 120 then we used our primer I mentioned above and blocked it out with 240 and then primed again and final sanded with 400 . After I painted it it was fine , it was a very dark blue/purple and it was nice and straight with no scratches whatsoever but now about a week later the scratches are showing up , not very distinct gouges or nothing but its just starting to look rough and wierd , very hard to explain , almost like it was marblized and not enough clear if anyone knows what marblizing is . It just seems as though the material under the clear is slightly textured . Why did this happen , and why is it that on other jobs that have spots that have had body fill on them seem to start showing up ?
It is very simple, you are loading up the primer trying to make it fill to much. It is then full of solvents and after the color and clear are applied it is soaked with even more solvent and it then shrinks down.
This could be from a number of issues. It can be the primer alone or the color and clear combined. Some reasons include... Too heavy of coats, too slow reducers, too cold shop temp, too slow gun movement, improper set up gun, too large tip on gun, over reduced products, etc.
I have never used that particular product but would find it hard to believe it was a poor product. I have found Evercoat to be a top knotch company with fine products and have never found them to be less than great.
On that fiberglass kit car, polyester would have been a good choice.
its happened to me also
i notice it happening when i rush a job and dont let the primer dry enough . i guess it can also be the solvents like martinsr said.
ive had better luck using poly prime to cover scratches ,imperfections and then go with a better quality primer like maybe ppg k36 or dupont k2.
Hoss, I didn't make myself clear. "Not letting the primer dry long enough" is exactly what I am talking about.
A 2K primer (or sealer or paint for that matter) like we are talking about (any product with a hardener or activator) doesn't "dry", it "cures".
The initial "drying" you are refering to in a 2K product is the "flashing" of sovents ("solvents"=reducers, thinners). "Flashing" is basically the "evaporation" of the solvents out of the primer, paint, or sealer.
So, not letting it "dry" long enough between coats or after it is primed before painting is EXACTLY what I am talking about. The solvents get trapped in the film and cause problems.
Too slow a flashing reducer, too cold shop temp, too slow gun travel, too much overlap, ALL of these conditions are EXACTLY the same as "not letting the primer dry long enough". I could have added "Too fast between coats" to my list, the condition it creates is exactly the same,"solvents" trapped in the film.
"Solvents" in some way are the leading reason for failure by a HUGE margin. All coming from few reasons I list and a couple more. Flash time, gun speed, reducer choice are going to make the difference.

i have used lower brand primers
and have had this problem even after 2-3 months
after the primer CURES . Not so much of the scratches showing but a little ripple start to show
Assuming you activated it properly, its caused by not letting the primer flash long enough between coats.
With improper flash times between coats after you are done premiering and say you let the primer set 30 days before you paint it will still do the same thing.
Most important thing with a 2K primer is flash time between coats as MSsr pointed out.
We've all had had this happen at one time or another. Through the years, I've used many different primers and some shrink more than others. There is one, however, that I tried just to see if it would eliminate this problem. The vehicle I used it on was a Plymouth Voyager with severe rock chips. Normally I would strip it to bare metal and eliminate the sandscratch problem you are describing, but I wanted to put this stuff to the real test. This hood, not only had severe rock chips, but also had been re-painted with DuPont, using the URO clear system, (you never forget the smell of that stuff) in addition to the OEM finish. I used 80 grit to sand out the chips and feathered it in with 180, followed by 320 DA. If anything was going to fail, it should be this!! The 'NEW' primer of choice was Southern Polyurethanes Turbo 2K primer. This stuff is a 3-4 hour total cure product. Nothing else on the market even comes close, outside of perhaps the high dollar UV cure products. Most solvent base primers have a total cure rate of somewhere around 7-21 days. Following three coats of the Turbo primer and a 4 hour wait, I blocked the hood with 320 on a DA, followed by 600 wet and painted it the same day. This is something I never do, is shoot primer and paint in the same working day, but remember, this was to test the limits of this product. Primer needs more time than just overnight to dry, let alone just a few short hours. Anyway, the van turned out super and has never shown the first sign of failure. There's not a blemish on it. Needless to say, I am very impressed with SPI's Turbo primer. I have 18 years experience as a painter, and their products are second to none, I can assure you. Give it a try, you will be hooked!!! Not to sound like an advertisement, but their epoxy primer is the best ground coat on bare metals I've ever seen. Check them out on the web.

umpa! 2k is all i use and never had any problems with it ,i have even been spraying and seen a scracth and piled up the 2k on the scratch till it ran and it still dryed right , he said they are spraying over a unknown primer so im saying that the urethane primer is to strong for the unknown stuff and causing it to kurll.i usualy spray my final primer coat in the morning ,then i wet sand with 320 and comet ,and blow it with a yard blower about 3;30 and shoot it the same day so the paint can dry overnight. never had any problems with 2k.
The primer that was first used was supposedly a special primer for fibreglass , I looked for a can left over so I could get the name but its all gone . It used a hardener but it was not like a 4-1 2k primer , this stuff had a tiny tube like you would get with a can of resin and it was a gallon of primer mixed with this tiny tube of hardner . The stuff smelled just like fibreglass resin when sprayed . The odd part was that this car was painted one day and a whole pile of parts were sprayed 2 days later and nothing has happened to the seperate parts only the car itself , all parts were prepped the same as the main body .
The car in the attachment is similar to what we are doing right now ,but this one was brought to us with huge cracks in the paint and it was litarally peeling off and under the peeled off sections was a white coat of who knows what that was still wet but dried overnight . We were told by the owners that this thing had 28 layers on it and it seemed that it was all on top of something like a sealer that was still wet . We stripped off all the orange and sanded it down to the original 2k primer , then primed , blocked , primed blocked then painted and never had a problem , looks great . Now this was done a few months back and now its a lot cooler here so maybe this is the factor . I do know that when I walk into the body shop in the mornings its pretty cool and most stuff is primed (if big) at the end of the day so it dries overnight , but if its too cold this would probably cause us serious issues , something to look at I guess.
i guess this question is about
the primer you just mentioned
im looking for a good primer
im in southern California and the only thing i usually use is
dupont and ppg but the prices are ridiculous . i know the quality is there on the paint lines but
when primering a can 3 - 4 times to get it super straight it gets expensive
i need a good quality primer for the right price .
that Southern Polyurethanes stuff is cheap in price.
i am doing a car and using valspar primer
see how that works out.
What more can I say??
Excellent product
Excellent price
Excellent service
Excellent tech advice
I'm tellin' ya, It's the BEST products you can get your hands on. I've not used Valspar primer, but I used to be a die hard House of Kolor epoxy guy. Not so today!! The House of Kolor epoxy isn't what it once was and I honestly believe the SPI epoxy is far better than anything else I've used. Their 2K primers are also awesome, as is the clears they have to offer. I'm as hard headed as you can get, and don't much take a liking to change, but I have to admit, SPI's products are so good that I've changed products virtually overnight. I have used PPG and DuPont for many years, but they pale in comparison. I stand to gain nothing by pushing SPI products. They're just so good, I wish to share the experience. Why fight junk just because it has a "name" on the label. The big companies are using the cheapest raw materials they can get their hands on, but are selling the product at overwhelming prices. WHY???? TWO WORDS!!! PROFIT MARGIN!!!
They know they can get by with it because they have the reputation built into a name. If a product fails, oh well, it's the painters fault!! I've never seen PPG or DuPont pay for a job that went south! I've had a few problems analized over the years and they always come back with something other than product failure. Seems silly to spend more money for a lesser product.

SPI Paints
I have never saw you get so passionate about paint products on this forum before. So guess what, I am going to look at SPI's line. I am doing a 56 Chevy pickup and was going to paint HOK black cherry.
Does SPI have as wide of range in their colors as HOK and when applied right do the clears have the "wet look" HOK exhibit? Thanks for putting me on to this product. David Bodily
Hi David,
One thing they do not offer is colors. I'm convinced now that the best route to take is to use the SPI primers and clear with the color of your choice. House of Kolor offers a nice range of colors if you follow their guidelines and an endless offering you dare to play with different combinations. I haven't been happy with House of Kolor clears in quite sometime now. They dropped the old stuff and what they have now doesn't have that deep, wet look we're all after (or at least I can't get it). Check into SPI's Clears. The one I use is 6300 series (I think, I'm not in the shop right now to look.) Anyway, it's great stuff! Goes on slick and retains it's gloss.
I can spray HOK slick, but it looses it's gloss overnight. It reminds me of the new high production garbage such as PPG Global 893 or DCU2042. It ain't what it used to be, that's for sure!! My honest opinion is that Valspar ruined it. Chances are, they're using their own crap and selling it under the House of Kolor name. When Jon was in charge, it couldn't be beat!!

1. Did you use the exact same primer, this polyester on all parts?
If you did not then the hardener you used on the bodies
primer may have been bad. MEKP hardener has a shelf life and
will loose it's "potency".
2. So, you primed the "Uro-fill" primer over the polyester? Or are
saying the "Uro-fill" is the polyester that used the little tubes
of hardener? Because Uro-Fill is an acrylic urethane primer as
you said in your first post. It uses a 4:1 mixing ratio. This
means that you mix four part primer with one equal part
hardener. This is MUCH more than that tube of MEKP you
add to polyester primer to cure it.

Can't Stall Manual in 4 Lo ???
I'm still shopping for a 2012 JK. Been reading up on pros/cons for manual vs auto. I keep coming across advocates for the manual that say you don't need the clutch much when in crawl mode (which I'm assuming means 4 wheel low). I don't understand this:confused:, can anyone explain?
What if you break loose when going up hill and need to brake to re-allign for a 2nd attempt?
Thanks in advance...:thumb:
You can't stall as long as the wheels are turning. When the Jeep tries to stall it increases the rpm to keep it moving but if you bind it to the point the wheels can't move it will stall. It has to. The motor is directly tied to the wheels when the clutch isn't engaged. But you can hit the clutch if you need to stop completely and when you let out the clutch as long as the Jeep can move it will without stalling. So clutch to re-align then release the clutch and you shouldn't need to gas unless you need it.
This is not an advantage over a Auto, just an advantage over older manuals.
^^Right. Modern Wranglers with a manual trans have a "no stall" feature while in 4Lo. The computer will rev the engine if it senses an impending stall.
In general, this stops a stall and will allow you for example to just put it in gear and let it crawl slowly. Even stepping on the brakes will not cause a stall (or even stop the jeep).
As Rick mentioned though, eventually the system will give way. If you've truly binded the wheels up so they cannot move and you don't push in the clutch, you'll stall.
OK, that makes sense. I'm leaning toward the manual, but haven't off-roaded in one before. With winter looming, I'm sure I'll want to hit the slopes (in the jeep) and I can imagine a lot of wheel spin.
Any advise for someone with 10+ years experience on a manual, but a newbie to off-roading?
As to the manual specifically, that's where the anti-stall feature comes in handy. Just put it in 4Lo, start in 2nd or 3rd, and let it crawl around. If you want to stop, push in the clutch before you bother braking. Vastly cuts down on the clutch in/clutch out you'd be doing otherwise.
Never before

I recently purchased a 2011 Jk unlimited Flame Red. I have a 6 speed with the 3.21 gears. Okay for the hardcore "jeepers" this gearing is bad, blah, blah, blah.
Some things I've noted. I am a guy and as such I do not read directions...I drive and go...I can learn on my own, I don't need no stinkin' salesperson telling me about the options just take my check and let me go "wheelin'!"
So...I learned on a standard (1981) and gave it up in 1995. This was my first since then. Just like a bike, never forget, right? I test drove the Jeep I bought, no problems...shifted great, I bogged it down a couple of times...to be expected, didn't stall, I feel great.
I lay down the cash and take the jeep home and while driving with my wife I pop the clutch and stall it at every other stop sign. Give me a break! My wife thinks I can't drive a standard! I'm not a kid and I'm not old...what's the deal? First lesson...Hill assist. Okay I did not listen to the sales chick. This option sucks, or does it?? Yes it does but I learn I can disable it through my steering wheel controls! Whew! Hill Assist...OFF.
Fast forward a week or so and I thought I would try to be a hero again to my 15 year old boy...I was a hero to him say, 10 years ago, but now he has football players, call of duty the the MW3 JK...shit, I need a 2nd Job. Anyway I convince him to lay off of me if I give him a driving lesson. So, without actually trying to get to know my Jeep, or Jeeps in general we go to our nearest parking lot and I give him the speech my Dad gave me...first find release point of clutch. Do this by starting on a flat surface and ease of the clutch until you hear the engine changes sound and the tach shows the rpm's dipping slightly below idle.
Okay, so far so good. I tell my boy that at the point the engine sound changes and the rpm's dip slightly, it's time to add some accelerator while letting off clutch. Hmmm. While he is playing with the clutch he let the clutch out without hitting the gas...it doesn't stall. How can that be?? That was nothing like when I was learning. I check the stinking hill holder thingy and it's still off.
I now find out that you can not (yes you can) stall this Jeep. Okay, you can. But here is how. If you are at a stop and you keep your right foot away from the throttle and just use your left to release the clutch, you can not stall my jeep. Tell me if yours is different so I can check on the problem. If you use the throttle and screw up the clutch you can stall. I didn't understand this concept until the rock crawling, water thing I read about. Maybe this applies to 4 low as well. I am going to try and report back.
Bottom line...for someone learning to drive a standard, a Jeep is bad. It begs for bad habits...But for fun and time with your son and driving on the beach, it's priceless.
I am going to do a 4 wheel lo experiment this weekend on the beaches of Rhode Island and I will report back my findings. I hope on some level this helps.
This is my first Jeep and for my fellow manual transmission buddies out there...keep the art alive for our sons and daughters deserve the moments when we make machines go and not vice versa!
The anti stall is a great feature. It saves you from having to slip the clutch when you need to crawl over something. HSA can also be a great feature if you can master it. It holds in direct proportion to the amount of break pressure applied while stopped. While you might not need it on the street, it can be very valuable on the trail.
so in 4 lo you can start in 2nd or 3rd gear? Do u actually change gears like in normal driving like start in 1st and then shift to 2nd? Does each gear serve a general purpose like do u need to be in a certain gear going up a hill, or a certain gear for going through a dip, rut, etc? and certain standard gear for just being on a stretch of flat for a bit?
Total newb to 4 lo, have used 4 hi few times in my life for snow on roads but never have used 4 lo before
Anything touching the bell housing is too deep. Using the clutch allows water, mud, or other debris in.
so it's prob just safest to be in 4lo and in first gear if u run across any water on trail?
So is this an option on the EVIC display, disabling it?
sorry for thread jacking, but thought it was interesting...i used to live in mystic, ct but waited to move to florida before buying my flame red 2011 (although a 2door) i just hear that disney ride "its a small world after all" playing through my head right now.
You can still stall it...
The feature helps, but it will still stall.
I read where someone on WF said that even the brakes wouldn't stop 4Lo so I tried it. Put it in 4lo, let the clutch out, then stood on the brakes. Jeep just kept plowing forward. It was cool.

2014 World Cup: Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah hopeful that Waris injury is not serious
K. Appiah
Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah hopes striker Abdul Majeed Waris is not ruled out of the World Cup after limped off with a thigh injury during Monday's final pre-World Cup friendly 4-0 win over South Korea in Miami.
The Spartak Moscow striker landed awkwardly after surviving a clumsy double-footed sliding tackle on four minutes.
Two members of Ghana's medical team led the 22-year-old off the pitch into the dressing room.
Waris will undergo tests which will determine if he will be fit for Ghana's Group G opener against USA next week or for the rest of the group stage matches.
Appiah said: "He is one of our top players. Unfortunately he had an injury. The doctors are still working on him. I mean I'm hoping to get the results of the extent of the injury in two/three hours time.
''At the moment I haven't had any information yet. I hope he recovers to join the team.''
Waris is one of Ghana's in-form players after netting nine goals in 16 appearances for second half of the season on loan at French Ligue 1 side Valenciennes.

Jah Prophet says:June 10, 2014 04:20 amwe wish Majeed speedy recovery. He did not play smart. learn from Kelvin Boateng, he played below par just to protect his legs. ok, let someone assures me that Kelvin played to avoid injury otherwise, he has no business to be included; his output is below world cup standard.
African Consciousness says:June 10, 2014 12:11 pmWhat is wrong with this picture? I know for a fact that Ghana has doctors and physios. Not to sound racist but if we are being self sufficient then why is Waris not being attended by Ghanaian doctors in this picture? I am glad Waris is walking on his own instead of in a stretcher. He will be back. Did Akaminko really need surgery on an ankle injury? Don't you just wrap the ankle and lay off it for several days? Come on guys do not put your destiny in the hands of doctors all the time. They are just like witch doctors most of the time.

Welcome to #cookieweek, friends! Susan of The Girl in the Little Red Kitchen and Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic have joined together this week with 23 of their blog friends to present you with a week of cookie treats! We have every type of cookie you can imagine listed this week, including some for our furry friends. Now is the time to bookmark these recipes for the upcoming holidays and cookie swaps. Make sure you enter the giveaway at the bottom with some fabulous prizes from Kitchen Aid, King Arthur Flour, OXO, Silpat and Zulka Pure Cane Sugar to help with your cookie making needs.Last year I participated in a large blogger cookie swap. I made up my cookies and shipped them out. I was less than thrilled to spend $12 per box…I still think USPS bamboozled me into using expensive boxes when I could have used cheaper. Then I sat back to wait for my three boxes to arrive.
The first box arrived with weird tape all over it and a note from the mail carrier saying it wasn't their fault if any contents were damaged or missing. There were two cookies in the box out of the original twelve. Hmmm, I thought. Maybe this isn't going to be as fun as it sounded.
Then the next box arrived. I opened it and was hit by the unmistakeable aroma of coffee. My family doesn't drink coffee for religious reasons, so I handed the cute tin to my second son and had him take it to school the next day for his favorite teacher. She loved the cookies. We, on the other hand, were batting zero for two.
A few days later, the last box arrived. Inside were twelve cookies; twelve chocolate dipped orange cookies. Yipee! We finally had a full box of treats. The kids ate them, but because they are a food blogger's children, they critiqued them as well. Nix the chocolate, mom. Make them more like a creamsicle, mom. Aren't they done yet, mom?
I am skipping any blogger cookie swaps this year, but who cares when there are so many wonderful cookies all crammed into this wonderful week.

Designed by Roger Cleveland, the new Callaway Razr X Muscleback Irons are a design that will surely stand the test of time. These irons are formerly known as the X-Forged Prototypes, and Callaway decided to not change the design one bit. The only difference between the X-Prototypes and the Razr X musclebacks is the Razr X logo and that is fine by me! From address, these musclebacks set up prefectly. They feature a thin topline and sole and a squared off toe that frames the ball wonderfully. The thin soles with a moderate leading edge grind glide through the turf effortlessly making them very versatile from a wide variety of turf conditions. Besides being extremely playable, perhaps the best thing about the Razr X muscleback irons is the feel. I have hit some of the best forgings from Japan and these irons are right up there in terms of feel and even slight miss-hits feel buttery smooth. Rifle Project X iron shats come stock in the Razr X musclebacks and the set is available in both right and left hand.

Callaway RAZR X IronsMonday, January 31st, 2011
If you want the ultimate performance iron designed to take your game to the next level, definitely check out the new Callaway RAZR X Irons. The new RAZR X Irons are designed for the average golfer who wants a club that is forgiving and long without sacrificing playability and looks. The RAZR X Iron is the first iron of its kind that will encompass all of these attributes. Callaway's RAZR technology is a breakthrough in iron design. This club delivers distance and accuracy while still maintaining a good look from address as well as moderate sole width for better turf interaction. The patented RAZR Technology shifts the center of gravity 12% lower and 15% deeper in the clubhead for more shot-making power and increased forgiveness on off-center strikes. The famed VFT Power System is used in the RAZR X to maximize ball speed by precisely positioning the center of gravity for each individual iron. We have already taken quite a few pre-orders for this iron set and it is not hard to see why. The clubs look great from all angles and they are loaded with technology to improve your iron game. Golf Digest awarded the RAZR X Irons a Gold Medal in this year's Hot List and we have also seen this club in play on all professional tours.
Callaway RAZR X Forged IronsThursday, January 27th, 2011
Last fall it was the Diablo Octane Driver and this spring it will be the new RAZR X Forged Irons that will make serious waves throughout the golf industry. The new RAZR X Forged Irons are the latest forged offering from Callaway and they will replace the tired Forged X-Prototypes that achieved cult status amongst better players over the last few years. Although I am not crazy about the "RAZR" name, from a technology and aesthetic standpoint the RAZR X Forged irons are nothing short of amazing. From the thin topline to the higher heel and squared-off toe, these irons set up beautifully. A narrow sole with a sharp leading edge and a shortened blade length makes this iron extremely versatile from a wide variety of turf conditions. As far as feel is concerned, the RAZR X over delivers thanks in large part to the premium 1020 carbon steel and Callaway's patented Triple Net Forging process which helps to ensure the tightest of tolerances which cannot be achieved through the standard forging process. In an effort to combat the new groove rule, the RAZR X features Callaway's Tour CC Grooves which maximize spin by tightly spacing up to 30% more conforming grooves. The RAZR X Forged irons are stocked with Rifle Project X steel shafts, however more custom shafts options are available through Callaway. So far, this is the iron we are the most excited for this season. It is already being heavily played on the PGA Tour and it was recently awarded a Gold Medal in Golf Digest's 2011 Hot List. Pre-order your set from Budgetgolf.com for a mid-February ship date!!!

Hybrid rocket fuel research being done by a University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) mechanical engineering doctoral student could hasten the day when a simpler, safer, more economical rocket engine propels space missions.
At UAH's Johnson Propulsion Center, Matthew Hitt has experimented with varying solid fuel grain sizes to see how they burn at different combustion chamber pressures and oxidizer flow rates in an effort to improve the performance of hybrid engines.
"This is another step in making hybrids – which are a safer alternative to either solid or liquid engines – more practical for actual application," he says
Improving the efficiency has to do with improving the fuel regression rate – a scientific way of saying you get the solid fuel to burn faster so it recedes back from the flame front at a faster rate.
"By increasing the fuel regression rate – which can lead to simpler designs – you are leaving less unburned fuel, so you are not carrying all this dead weight," Hitt says.
Not having to carry fuel that won't end up getting burned could reduce the weight of the rocket, allow for use of a smaller engine for the same flight result, or allow for a larger payload due to the weight savings.

I hope this works I have never posted a pick on here before. This is the picture that Rocky sent me, it is the actual holster just not my gun. My holster came in on 4/26. I have been wearing it everywhere since. The quality and service are both top notch. I ordered the black ops from pure kustom for my Kimber TLE/RL 5" and in just over a week it was delivered. It does not take long at all to get use to carrying it IWB, and the fit is excellent. I am looking into a smaller ccw for the summer months and as soon as I get it, I will order another holster from Rocky. But until then with this holster a full size 1911 is not bad at all. Thanks Rocky looking forward to doing business again in the future.

In 1973, Dr. Robert Spitzer helped to remove homosexuality from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), making it no longer a mental illness. In 2001, he published an article stating that some homosexuals could change their orientation, which the anti-Gay Rights movement used extensively to fight equal rights for same sex couples. His study was based on self-reports of individuals who claimed to have changed their sexual orientation.
The Spitzer study was the only piece of objective evidence available for the ex-gay "therapists" to support their claim that homosexuality can be changed … and now that study has been retracted.
Spitzer retracted the study this month, stating that it had a major flaw. He apologized to the gay community for the study, writing an open letter exclusively published at Truth Wins Out, which read in part:
" The Fatal Flaw in the Study –- There was no way to judge the credibility of subject reports of change in sexual orientation. I offered several (unconvincing) reasons why it was reasonable to assume that the subject's reports of change were credible and not self-deception or outright lying. But the simple fact is that there was no way to determine if the subject's accounts of change were valid.
I believe I owe the gay community an apology for my study making unproven claims of the efficacy of reparative therapy. I also apologize to any gay person who wasted time and energy undergoing some form of reparative therapy because they believed that I had proven that reparative therapy works with some "highly motivated" individuals."
Anti-gay organizations often quoted his 2001 study, which also triggered harmful therapies to force gay people to become straight with the use of "Pray Away the Gay" and other guilt-ridden therapies mainly used by religious organizations. "Dr. Spitzer's apology to the victims of 'pray away the gay' therapy and the greater LGBT community marks a watershed moment in the fight against the "ex-gay" myth," notes John M. Becker at Truth Wins Out.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Other "treatments" used on gays to force them to change their lifestyle and orientation were electrocution and nauseating drugs. Gabriel Arana wrote about some of the so-called treatments and practices used by religious organizations to force gays to change their sexual orientation, especially after Spitzer's 2001 report, in his article called My So-Called Ex-Gay Life.
The ad appeared 23 years after the American Psychiatric Association (APA) declassified homosexuality as a mental illness. As a consequence of that decision, extreme forms of reorientation therapy—aversion therapy involving electrocution or nausea-inducing drugs, for instance—had stopped being used. A small group of therapists continued to practice talk therapy that encouraged patients to see homosexuality as a developmental disorder, but they remained on the fringe until the Christian right took up their cause. This was a calculated political move. Instead of fire-and-brimstone denunciations from the pulpit, the ex-gay movement allowed the Christian right to couch its condemnation of homosexuality in a way that seemed compassionate. Focus on the Family called its new ex-gay ministry Love Won Out and talked about healing and caring for homosexuals.
It's true that while in therapy, I did not feel coerced into believing his theories. Like nuclear fallout, the damage came later, when I realized my sexual orientation would not change. I could have told Nicolosi about my thoughts of suicide, my time in the mental institution. I could have told him that my parents still don't understand me but that I'm grown up now and it has less of a bearing on my life. I could have told him that I married a man. But I realize it wouldn't be of any use: I've changed since I left therapy, but Nicolosi has not. For years I shared my innermost thoughts and feelings with him. Now I want to keep this for myself.
According to The Huffington Post, Spitzer even admitted that therapies to change one's sexual orientation "can be quite harmful" and then he requested Gabriel Arana, the author of My So-Called Ex-Gay Life, to print a retraction, "so I don't have to worry about it anymore". Arana was also one of the original participants in Spitzer's 2001 study and interviewed by Rachel Maddow.
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
According to Care2, Spitzer wrote a letter to Zucker, editor of Archives of Sexual Behavior, who published the original study, in an effort to formally disavow his 2001 study due to the flaw.
Spitzer's 2001 study used 200 participants, who worked with ex-gay therapists. The study relied on their reports of their efforts to change their orientation. The other flaw was that the study did not follow the participants for any length of time after therapy discontinued, to see if they maintained their reported change.
Despite the mainstream medical community rejecting the study as flawed, the media publicized the idea that this study had shown you really could "leave behind" homosexuality, and ex-gay groups like NARTH and Exodus have used this as a foundation for their work.
However, Spitzer's study remains the only piece of research affirming ex-gay therapy to be published in a reputable journal. Spitzer's rejection of the study is therefore of considerable importance.
Zucker refused to publish Spitzer's retraction in the Archives of Sexual Behavior and formally retract the study. Truth Wins Out published Spitzer's letter to Zucker though.
Kenji Yoshino stated, in Maddow's interview below, that these articles, which state that one cannot change their sexuality, and Spitzer's retraction, show that the anti-gay arguments are nothing.

Stem Cell Controversy: Why Are Stem Cells Controversial?
The stem cell controversy rages on irrespective of the success of stem cell therapy in many fields of medicine. Many wonder why stem cells are so controversial, why others wonder why they are still allowed to be used in medical research. It is a very emotive topic, and one in which both sides of the argument often use their hearts before their heads when they publish their views.
What is the truth of stem cell research? Is it useful in treating specific ailments, or is it no more than a modern form of alchemy that claims to cure the incurable? We shall not be able to answer that question here, but we shall present both sides of the argument so that you can take your own stance based upon facts rather than myths or unfounded claims.
Stem Cell Research Controversy: The Arguments Against
The arguments against the use of stem cells are largely moral ones, particularly in the use of embryonic cells. Many, such as the Pro-Life movement, claim that an embryo is a living human being, and that using such cells in medical research, or in treating other human beings, is immoral. There are also religious arguments with respect to the sanctity of living human beings.
Many believe that an embryo should be permitted dignity in death, and not be used in any type of research, even if that research is for the benefit of other people. Others feel that if stem cell therapy is universally approved, then embryos could be created for the sole reason of providing stem cells, and that money might change hands between medical establishments and women in dire financial situations.
Some religious bodies regard a single cell division, and even the of fertilization, to form human life. They also tend to ignore the fact that many embryos of around 75-250 cells, known as blastocytes, are excess to IVF programs and would normally be destroyed. Many claim that it is better to do that than use them to save other human beings. Others claim that destroying an embryo is a crime – so what should be done with them?
Stem Cell Research Debate: The Arguments For
The proponents of stem cell therapy claim that an embryo in the form of a blastocyte comprising less than 500 cells is not a human being. It does not resemble an embryo as most people regard one, and none of the cells are differentiated or have a specific purpose. There are no leg cells, heart cells or brain cells yet, so they argue that it is not a human being.
Another argument made is that the 'embryos' that would be used are left-overs from IVF treatment, and would otherwise have been destroyed. Would they not, therefore, be better used to save human life than be incinerated? It is a strong argument that has yet to be answered by those campaigning against their use. As far back as 2003 it was stated that 400,000 such embryos were being stored in the USA. [1]
The Religious Viewpoint on Stem Cell Treatment
The Christian churches generally do not support the use of embryonic stem cells for treatment of disease, even the use of blastocytes, although the Catholic Church and most others support stem cell research involving cord or adult stem cells. The Mormons have not expressed a view one way or the other in the stem cell research debate.
The Jewish view is the any stem cells that have not been implanted in the womb can be used, and Islam scholars generally take the view that under the Qur'an, stem cell research can be carried out [2].
The Future Argument
Currently, most western governments permit the use of embryonic stem cells for research but not for use in treatment. However, since viable undifferentiated cells can be obtained from bone marrow and the umbilical cord, the argument might shortly become an academic one. Successful undifferentiated and pluripotent stem cells have been prepared from blood tissue, fat cells an some skin cells, and in many cases even cells that are partially differentiated can be employed in stem cell treatment for certain conditions. These are now more commonly used than 'embryonic' blastocytes
The stem cell controversy still rages, but few researchers doubt that this type of treatment will become commonplace over the next few years, and that certain illnesses and conditions may shortly become a thing of the past. For now, however, the source of stem cells used in research and treatment will remain the subject of much discussion and also subject to close scrutiny.

Finish off your candle creation with a Extra Large Bleached Wick from Yaley.
Whether you wish to soothe your senses with your homely creations or if you want to help friends and family to sit back and bathe in sweetness and light (quite literally), then nothing says 'essential' than a candle-wick!
Pop it into place after you have filled your mould with melted wax and waited for it to congeal. Straighten out your wick and ease it carefully into the centre of the wax, taking care to keep it as aligned as possible.
There is no need to worry when your wax starts to shrink – this is a very normal process. You may find that the wick may have become lop-sided. When this happens, simply straighten out your wick and fill up any sink holes that might have appeared.
A challenging little 'fiddly-bit', but well worth the trouble afterwards. Beginner or professional, this is definitely a must-have for the candle-making kit!

OYB September 4
Julie FerwerdaJulie Ferwerda's Blog
- 2009 Sep 04
7:2 Better to spend your time at funerals than at parties. After all, everyone dies—so the living should take this to heart. I think Solomon is contradicting himself at times. (see 8:15)
7:3 Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. This is true. My most growing times are definitely during times of sadness. There many reasons for this, but the cause of sadness, not the sadness itself, can be a great teacher. If we are sad because someone is mistreating us, we can grow because we realize how it felt when we did that to someone else. If we are sad because we lost someone or something, we can grow because we realize that God is the one constant who will never leave us.
7:4 A wise person thinks a lot about death, while a fool thinks only about having a good time. One might think I should be pretty wise by now since I think a lot about the other side! But then again, I keep reading down through the following verses and realize I am anything but wise. So he contradicts himself again!
7:5 Better to be criticized by a wise person than to be praised by a fool. This is a hard truth to accept, but it is true. I like how he says it in Proverbs: Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are profuse. It is so hard to remember that when wise people correct us, it is the most loving thing they could do. Ouch!
7:6 Finishing is better than starting. Patience is better than pride. Initially when I read this, I thought, well duh! Everybody loves finishing! But then I realized it wasn't talking about being finished, but seeing something through to the end. The clue word was "patience." So many people love to start something, but after the intial excitement wears off, it's hard to finish!
7:9 Control your temper, for anger labels you a fool. You know, I may never actually become a wise person because I have a quick temper. I hate that about myself. I react to people so quickly on things I'm passionate about or things I'm insecure about. Gosh! I WANT to become a less reactive person, but it seems that no matter how much I try, my quick anger flares up in a moment of weakness. The really bad thing is that words can never be taken back, and it is hard to soothe hurt feelings.
7:10 Don't long for "the good old days." This is not wise. I call this the blight of "nostalgia." It's how the human mind somehow glorifies the past, forgetting the captivity that went along with it. This is exactly what happened to the Israelites. They longed for the leeks and onions of Egypt, and forgot about the merciless slave drivers. This especially happens to us when we leave a romantic relationship that is not good for us, or when we leave an addiction. We look back with longing at what we had, and forget all that we had to endure in our bondage!
7:12 Wisdom and money can get you almost anything, but only wisdom can save your life. Hey, I saw this first hand. The night we got approached by two different sets of bandits in India on a pitch-dark country road in the middle of the night, and they insisted they wanted to see what we had in our broken down car; our host was truly wise and maybe even saved our lives. It was so dark they couldn't see our skin color, and there were about 5 of us who towered over them (it was a part of the country where the people were short). Our host quickly told them that we were with the Border Security Forces (a highly trained and feared law enforcement in India) and if they knew what was good for them, they better scat. It was like watching cockroaches when you turn on a light!
7:13 Notice the way God does things; then fall into line. Don't fight the ways of God, for who can straighten out what he has made crooked? Though they add quite a bit to this verse, I love Classic NLT. If things are going terrible, just accept it or you'll be fighting God. He MAKES things crooked on purpose! That is revolutionary! But always use the backdrop of His goodness. It is either to teach or to humble or to reveal something. Nothing is wasted or from ill-intent.
7:14 Enjoy prosperity while you can, but when hard times strike, realize that both come from God. Remember that nothing is certain in this life. I was just talking to a woman yesterday who is nearing retirement. She and her husband have invested their retirement into real estate, but something happened with their mortgage company and the economy, and they may lose it all. Nothing is certain except one thing! Knowing and loving God!
7:20 Not a single person on earth is always good and never sins. Job was our best hope, and he fell short! Good lesson.
7:23-25 I have always tried my best to let wisdom guide my thoughts and actions. I said to myself, "I am determined to be wise." But it didn't work. Wisdom is always distant and difficult to find. I searched everywhere, determined to find wisdom and to understand the reason for things. I feel like this is my quest, but then I look at 7:9 and I realize there is not much hope! Seriously, I always think I should be getting more mature and wise in the ways I handle life, but it never seems that way. I don't think it's something we can determine. Somehow it must be "burned" into us!
7:28-29 Only one out of a thousand men is virtuous, but not one woman! But I did find this: God created people to be virtuous, but they have each turned to follow their own downward path." This verse has always bothered me in the past. But I think I get it now. I think God has allowed this for His plan of the ages. I still get sad when I think that no one would seek Him on our own, but I also believe that somehow, that was part of the plan so that none of us could take credit for His love and mercy. The only way to really get His character is to see how far something can fall short of it!
8:10 I have seen wicked people buried with honor. Yet they were the very ones who frequented the Temple and are now praised in the same city where they committed their crimes! This, too, is meaningless. Hypocrisy! But we see this all the time. No matter how corrupt, people with money or position are often honored regardless of their actions.
8:14 In this life, good people are often treated as though they were wicked, and wicked people are often treated as though they were good. This is so meaningless! This is so true! This has always been such a mystery to me! But again, in beginning to understand God's ways, this is the order now. Someday all that is crooked will be made straight again! Check out Luke 3:5-6:
Every ravine will be filled, and every mountain and hill will be brought low; the crooked will become straight, and the rough roads smooth; and all flesh will see the salvation of God.' "
8:15 So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun. I am trying to learn to do this more (sans the drinking part). Sometimes I get so caught up trying to be purposeful, I forget to live a little and enjoy life! Learning that nothing will be lost has really helped me not feel quite as urgent, but still the work stacks up!
8:17 I realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim. This is exciting as we contemplate the days ahead! People keep discovering, and we keep thinking, "We must have discovered just about everything now." And then a new and amazing discovery comes along! The advances in recent years for discovery in science, nature, and technology have been mind-boggling. Can you imagine what's still to be discovered?
9:1 This, too, I carefully explored: Even though the actions of godly and wise people are in God's hands, no one knows whether God will show them favor. I believe God shows favor in different ways. His called out ones will have suffering and hardship in this lifetime, but they have His favor in so many ways-peace, comfort, anointing!
9:5 NASB For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten. I used NASB to make sure we didn't get too much slant here. But this, along with many other OT Scriptures, shows that there is no consciousness after death. Many verses in the OT state that all people, both good and evil, went to Sheol, the place of the grave where there is no consciousness, awaiting their resurrection. Some will go straight into life, some will go into Judgment.
9:11 It is all decided by chance, by being in the right place at the right time (NLT). This reads quite differently than NASB: for time and chance overtake them all. I don't see that the more literal translation (NAS) indicates that chance has to do with us being in the right place at the right time by our choice. Rather, it appears to say to me that death (passing of time) and chance overtake them all. What do you think?
2 Corinthians
7:10-11 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us. For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to
48:9-10 O God, we meditate on your unfailing love as we worship in your Temple. As your name deserves, O God, you will be praised to the ends of the earth. Your strong right hand is filled with victory. What a beautiful tribute!

Posted by Kerry Bodine on April 19, 2013
Of the six disciplines in Forrester's customer experience maturity model, design is probably the least understood. It's is not taught in most business schools (although this is starting to change at institutions like Stanford and the University of Toronto). It's also not widely practiced in most companies outside of specialized groups that focus on digital touchpoints. And so it remains a mystery to most business people. That's a shame, because design is an incredibly valuable business tool — and it's accessible to just about anyone in any organization.
That's why I wanted to take time this week to answer some of the questions that I'm frequently asked about customer experience design. In fact, all of the following are exact questions that I've received from Forrester clients over the past year.
What exactly is this design thing again?
Design is both a process and a mindset.
Let's talk about the process part first. Designers typically follow a common set of steps when trying to solve a problem: research that helps them uncover deep emotional insights about people's wants and needs, analysis that helps them identify the real problems and issues, ideation of dozens (or hundreds) of possible solutions, prototyping that helps them bring those ideas to life in tangible ways, and testing that helps them evaluate the proposed prototypes and solutions. Designers don't go thought this process once — they iterate this process several times in order to learn from their prototypes and refine their solutions.
