Date of Stay: September, 2009
No cable TV available, no service available in town. TV reception is ran from antenna on top of site owners house, not good reception. Says they have Wi-Fi but could not get it to work. Bathrooms and showers were clean but showers were really small. Owners are really friendly. Would stay again. Price was using Passport America.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
Only reason to give a 9 is there are no sewer hookups. Great kept secret that should be known about. The local people should be proud of this park being that it is only a County park. If you are close by be sure to camp here and give your view.
Date of Stay: September, 2009
We would have given this campground a higher rating but because the restrooms were not maintained and in dire need of repair, we scored it lower. We stayed here a week and we never saw anyone go to clean or supply with paper, but it did have good pressure of hot water. Fixtures were missing or broken and no chairs or benches to sit on, no place to hang your towels no soap to wash your hands. Lake needs to be stocked if you want to enjoy catching fish. They supply wood for a campfire. Friendly people.
Date of Stay: May, 2009
A great campground. People were very friendly and appreciative of your business. Enjoyed the views and watching the wildlife. All around clean park. Regular price was 36.00 but 18.00 with Passport America.

The issue of adequate provision and support for disabled people across public sector has been raised over the last couple of weeks, thanks to difficult questions over transport arrangements for the 2012 Olympic Games.
The housing sector is no exception. In an article for the network this week, Lynn Watson, head of policy and practice at specialist housing provider Habinteg, wrote that across the country just one in five wheelchair accessible homes – and one in three in London – are let to tenants who are wheelchair users.
Watson said she was concerned about the lack of knowledge among some housing associations about their own stock, and claimed poor lettings procedures could be the result of insufficient information about adaptations already in place.
Research suggests that there are 78,000 wheelchair users in need of accessible homes across all tenures, so is the social housing sector doing enough to help them?

bought my car at 160k 2 months ago. The man I bought it from told me it needed an o2 censor. I've put it off due to lack of money. My car sputters & stalls when going in reverse, coming to a stop & in idle. Yesterday the rpms were higher than usual when starting, it stalled on me 3 or 4 times before finally leaving the driveway. Even once it got going it was sputtering more than usual & on the verge of stalling. I had no brakes or power steering. Drove it about 5miles before deciding to pull over...well involuntarily coasting off the road really. Replaced front o2 censor & did not fix the problem. Could this be the second o2 censor needs replacement or is it something more? I guess this problem has been building over time but the night before my car was fine & then very first thing in the morning this happens. I cant spend very much more money fixing what isn't causing the problem. Help please?
replaced front o2 censor, car still stalls as soon as it is turned on? on 2001 Mitsubishi Galant

st: run stata in a batch mode using do file
Mon, 17 Sep 2012 18:39:38 +0000
Hello all,
1. It is very well documented to run stata in a batch using do file without parameters. But running stata in a batch using do file with parameters in nowhere to be seen. Any idea how to do it?
In Unix would be if I have dofile mylog with two arguments firm and date
$ stata -b do mylog.do `firm' `date'
What would be in windows for a dofile myjob with 2 arguments firm and date. The following is for myjob without any parameters as documented.
C:\data> "C:\Program Files\Stata12\Stata" /s do myjob where myjob is dofile and produces myjob.log in C:\data
2. How would you run stata in a batch mode using ado file in both unix and windows.
Say I have a myjob.ado with 2 arguments as options namely firm and date
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Australia is a great place to live but when it comes to uber-luxury, you really have to leave the country. Europe has long been a favourite destination for Aussies in search of refinement, while the Americans have more recently proven quite good at putting on a show, too. Exotic Asia continues to enchant and entice.
But now the mystery of the Middle East is proving hard to resist, and growing numbers of Australians are choosing to stay and play there for opulence they may previously have only imagined.
Most head straight to the cosmopolitan metropolis of Dubai, built to feed a global fetish for fine food, fashion and highfalutin digs.
This city is on a no-expense-spared mission to serve up things that are bigger, better and faster than anywhere else in the world. "Most decadent" goes without saying.
That decadence is contributing to Dubai's popularity among global tourists who, according to figures from the city's tourism department, are coming in greater numbers and staying longer to experience the growing attractions amid the skyscraper-laden landscape. Hotel-guest numbers for 2013 were up 10 per cent on the year before, and where once people just passed through or stayed an extra night, the average stay last year lifted to about four nights.
Last April's partnership between Emirates and Qantas has no doubt contributed to a 40 per cent uptick in Australians staying in Dubai in 2013, compared with the previous year.
Let's hope they were cashed up because this place is the most expensive city in the Middle East and among the priciest in the world.
Last week, British jeweller Graff Diamonds chose Dubai as the launch for its $US55 million ($59 million) "Hallucination" ladies' watch. Containing more than 110 carats of rare, fancy-coloured diamonds, it was unveiled at last month's Baselworld 2014, a watch and jewellery show in Switzerland. Dubai was an obvious choice, given more than $US1 billion worth of Swiss watches were shipped to the United Arab Emirates in 2013, reflecting the strengthening of the UAE's luxury retail market.
And big spenders are rewarded here. At the Dubai Mall, where one of Dubai's two Graff boutiques is based, those who spend enough, or are VIP enough, can gain entree to a secret lounge. Via a lift somewhere between Dior and Dolce and Gabbana, you can be whisked away from buying "everything you desire" from "all the shops that matter" to recline in elegant splendour while the Black Amex cools down. Generally, you have to get on "The List" to access this, but if you spend AED100,000 ($29,000) you'll probably get in.
So, it's all happening here for the rich and famous and those who want to be them. US consulting group Mercer says Dubai is one of the best places to live in the Middle East and money certainly does buy access to luxury hard to find in such abundance elsewhere. As one regular visitor told me, anything billed as five star here is really six. And that uplift in ratings could be applied anywhere down the star-rating system.
I don't know what star rating would apply to the Royal Suite of the Burj Al Arab – through which I was given a guided tour – because I was blinded by the amount of gold and titanium used on finishes throughout its $US20,000 per night, 780-square-metre sprawl. I left with a headache, though I don't know if it was caused by the "majestic colour scheme" or trying to understand the merits of the master suite's rotating king bed.
Anyway, I know at least half a dozen families who plan to stop over in Dubai during the June-July school break. Some have asked what Dubai offers children. Lots, actually.
No, it's not all about the shoes, though the mall's designated shoe area, Level 1, is hard to surpass for glamour and range. While you're busy there, have your significant other take the children to see the new museum-grade dinosaur fossil, recently installed as a centrepiece. After that, the Dubai Aquarium and Underwater Zoo are terrific, or tire them out on the Olympic-sized ice skating rink. There's also a unique "theme village", KidZania – still within the confines of the mall – which allows children to be an adult for the day by choosing a job, working in the role and earning "money" to be spent or saved.
A huge water park next to the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. I didn't go there but the boys in our media group who did, loved it.
Located in another shopping precinct, Mall of the Emirates, this is too bizarre to miss when it's 50 degrees outside. The zip-line ride is a hoot.
Perhaps for older children, this will help unravel some of the misconceptions about Arab culture, particularly in more liberal Dubai.
Camel rides, speeding quad bikes and a crazed 4WD drive into the desert for dinner and a dance show, this is not for the faint-hearted.

Seascape, c. 1868-1900
Hendrik Willem Mesdag
Dutch, 1831 - 1915
watercolour on heavy wove paper
47 x 57.4 cm
Gift of Hilda W. Mathewson, Ottawa, 1972
National Gallery of Canada (no. 17024)
During the summer of 1868 Hendrik Willem Mesdag became interested in what was to be his main source of inspiration for the rest of his career: the sea. Shortly after, in May 1869, he moved to The Hague, where many artists gathered. There, he studied the sea from Scheveningen, a district of the city situated along the shores of the North Sea. This lovely watercolour is representative of the seascapes for which Mesdag is renowned.

Alexis's Bio
I am currently a graduate student at Colorado State University in the Anthropology Department. I am just finishing up my classes and will spend Spring 2012 writing my thesis in hopes of graduating in May. I am also currently working as a volunteer with the non-profit Village Earth. I have worked there writing grants for community-based projects and acting as a liason between grass roots organizations and larger institutions. My undergraduate degree is in Psychology, and I spent ten years in the medical field (as my first career) working as a nurses aide and secretary.
I am in the process of relocating to the Kremmling area in mid December, and amhoping to meet some new people in the area! Also, I am recently engaged *and* we are talking about starting our own family in the next year! It's been a very exciting 2011!
I have babysat mostly school aged children in my hometown Beulah, Colorado - a little tiny mountain town in the Wet Mountains. I've also spent a lot of time caring for my brother's two children - as soon as they were born I knew I would love them more than anything! They are 8 and 5 now. I also spent many years as a ballet teacher and ballet mistress. I taught all levels of ballet and I managed the rehearsals for various performances. Sometimes, I would be caring for twenty or more girls all aged 5 to 8! But we made the best of it and tried to have lots of fun!
I love to cook, and I especially love to do cooking projects with kids. I like to read, paint, sew knit and take walks. I also love to go to museums, for ice cream and to the park - I like to go with kids, too!
I am comfortable with all kinds of pets, as long as they are kind, too. I am comfortable with all ages of children, I think except when they are older than 13.
Age Specific Experience
10 years of paid child care experience with:
- Toddlers (1 to 3 years)
- Preschooler (3 to 5 years)

While seeking help for physical ailments from her personal trainer, Arvada resident Jennifer Cavallaro thought: Why don't I do something like this for others?
So she did.
In 2013, Cavallaro created Upward Spiral Fitness and Nutrition Coaching, a personal coaching company focused on creating healthy habits by treating the whole person — mind, body and spirt.
"My trainer pushed me forward into that — I felt like I was too old to become a trainer — but he helped me get into shape and to do things I never thought I could," Cavallaro said. "So in 2013, I put a gym in my own home."
She works with individuals in their mid-30s to mid-60s, typically those who have some sort of recreational hobby — such as skiing or mountain biking—outside of weekly training Through Upward Spiral, clients learn how to eat healthy, build muscle and strength based off their individual situation. Cavallaro said she likes to meet her clients where they're at in their own lives, suggesting they make the little changes now that result in big changes later.
"I start with a small commitment, then see where they're at after a few weeks," she said, giving the example of drinking four cups of water a day. "Let's see if we can get you up to five or even six before we tackle eight … I like to make it easy and doable for them so clients can feel like they are successful."
One of Upward Spiral's 10 clients is friend Jasmene Santmyer.
"She makes custom workouts for me, as well as one for me at home," said Santmyer, who has lost 13 inches since starting with Cavallaro last year. "She gave me the confidence to go out into the world and exercise in front of other people again."
For clients like Santmyer and Dianna Stolz, both dental hygienists, the agility, strength and weight training help them not only to stay in shape but also to pursue other activities such as kickboxing, skiing and mountain biking.
"We do different types of workouts — she keeps it varied," Stolz said. "I really feel like over the past few years I've gotten a lot stronger."

For both the long distance and coastal cruiser, radar is one of the most useful tools for navigation, and in our opinion, of major importance for safety at sea. Small vessel radars are increasingly affordable, reliable, and have relatively small electrical power needs.
Aboard Bagheera we have a Raytheon SL72 24-mile LCD unit with a seven-inch screen in a waterproof display, which is mounted under the dodger where it can be seen from anywhere in the cockpit. We didnt put it on the binnacle, since thanks to self-steering we spend little time behind the wheel when on a passage. The rotating antenna is housed in a fiberglass pod and is mounted 12 feet high on a stainless steel spar at the stern. (This does double duty by also supporting our solar panels.) We put it here to avoid a blind spot aft, which results if the radar is mounted on the mast; also, because there is less movement there, scans are more stable on the screen in rough conditions. In addition, this location makes tuning and servicing easier, particularly if, when installing, enough cable is coiled below the deck to enable the antenna to be lowered to the deck without fully detaching it.
Definition can be lost abeam when heeled, so it is advantageous for the antenna to be mounted on a platform that can be tilted up to 20 degrees from the horizontal. This platform is easily held in position using a locking extension. To do this, we use a handle such as those used by window cleaners. Gimbaled units are also available, but these can lead to chafe in the complex wiring harness as a result of the constant movement.
As a navigation tool, we use our radar when we're within range of a coast to obtain accurate fixes, to identify charted features, to transit a channel, or enter a harbor at night in poor visibility. We also use the unit to locate aids to navigation. This is particularly helpful where charting is not accurate, which is the case in much of the world. In northern Australia, for example, some coastal surveys date back to Flinders time, a British navigator who charted the area in the early 1800s. Even in the Caribbean and Mexico (often the first offshore experience for many cruisers), some of the islands are inaccurately positioned. The popular Isla Isabela, close to Mazatlan, with its hundreds of nesting birds and lovely diving, comes to mind from our last cruise. Using our GPS position we found that it lay one and one third nautical miles to the east and one and one half miles south of its charted position. With these existing errors, piloting by GPS is no longer accurate, but with radar one can still make a safe entry.
As a safety tool, radars ability to pick up vessels before they become visible to the watchkeeper enables their track and speed to be assessed. In addition, we use the radar to locate and follow storm cells, estimate the severity of tropical squalls approaching at night, pick a passage through a static fishing fleet, and keep a watch on vessels in the vicinity if we're in areas where there are concerns about security.
Features that our unit shares with most other small radars include: automatic timed scans, after which it reverts to standby; an alarm that sounds if a target is detected within a set zone; the ability to bring up on the screen navigation information from other instruments such as GPS readings, waypoint information; depth, wind speed and direction; two separate range/bearing cursors and a man-overboard position.
The reliability of this unit has been good, our only problem (still unresolved) being an intermittent, momentary loss of the picture when the ambient temperature is over 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Our use of radar depends on the circumstances. When we're in familiar waters with good visibility it is rarely used, except perhaps to check whether we are gaining on our friends in another sailboat, to satisfy our racing jones. In busy or unfamiliar coastal waters and known shipping lanes, the radar is on full time in anything but perfect visibility. Offshore by day in good conditions it will only be used if a vessel is sighted, but as the weather deteriorates, or at night, it will be on intermittently or full time, depending on conditions and traffic. Like all sailors, we like to conserve electrical power, but because Bagheeras radar only uses 38 watts (about three amps) when it's on (and only half that when on standby), the available power is not a big concern regarding our battery bank, which has 690 amp hours.
Also, be sure your boat has a good radar reflector and check that it works at all points of the compass. We found a blind spot in our Firdell, which is mounted on the forward side of the mast. Because ships dead astern were unable to pick us up, we now carry a second reflector aft. Remember too that other wood and fiberglass vessels lacking radar reflectors may not show on your screen; radar was never meant to be a substitute for keeping a a regular visual watch.
There are so many useful products on the market today for cruisers. Most have some merit, but with the increasing traffic on the oceans of the world and in unpredictable weather, we find radar contributes hugely to our peace of mind and safety at sea, making it a very desirable addition for successful cruising.

In part one of this report ["Torture in Maines Prison," November 11], based on interviews with six prisoners, I described conditions that could be called torture at the Maine State Prisons 100-cell Supermax, otherwise known as the Special Management Unit, a maximum security, solitary-confinement facility, in Warren.
In that piece Martin Magnusson, the states corrections commissioner, acknowledged that conditions need to be improved at the Supermax. He said he intends to improve them in part by reducing the numerous brutal "extractions" of unruly prisoners from their cells in order to strap them into restraint chairs. A videotape I obtained showed a SWAT-like team in body armor and face shields dragging a naked, screaming, mentally ill prisoner in chains through the cellblock to the chair. The Supermax and the prison as a whole have large numbers of mentally ill prisoners.
Before last weeks story was published, I recounted to several critics of the prison system what Magnusson, the former prison warden, had told me about Supermax reform. They were skeptical.
"Sometimes those in charge promise a fix, but five years later nothing has changed," said Barry Pretzel, a Rockland attorney whose clients have included a number of Supermax prisoners. "Theyre either out of office, or theyre hoping no one will call them on an earlier promise."
"Its hard to imagine reprogramming that physical space," said Craig McEwen, a sociology professor, academic dean at Bowdoin College, and a long-time critic of Maines prisons.
I myself became a little skeptical when John Baldaccis chief aide, Lee Umphrey, sent me an email expressing the governors commitment to reform and he mistakenly left on the bottom of the message his email correspondence with Denise Lord, the associate corrections commissioner. The correspondence suggested that the commitment hadnt directly come from Baldacci and that my questions were being dealt with perfunctorily.
"Give me two sentences and I will be all set," Umphrey told Lord in the email.
In our conversations, even Magnusson sometimes sounded skeptical of reform. "I dont know a more humane way to deal with the situation when theyre hurting themselves," he said, describing the use of the restraint chair.
But he pledged to bring a group to Maine next month from the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) "some of the top people in the country . . . to review all our practices."
The NIC is a think-tank on prison issues. Its a part of the United States Department of Justice and was established after the 1971 Attica Prison riots in New York.
A top NIC official in Washington, DC, George Keiser, confirms that the Maine Department of Corrections had approached his agency for help in reforming the Supermax, but he says it is unlikely the NIC would send people to Maine, at least immediately. "We want to take three or four folks from Maine to the Colorado Department of Corrections," he says, to let them see an "effective" Supermax.
The timing of the departments vow to reform also inspires skepticism. Both Keiser and Denise Lord of the corrections department say the arrangements with NIC were made only in the first week of November, and I interviewed Magnusson, laying out for him my story of alleged torture at the Supermax, on the Monday of that week.
But Magnusson says his departments interest in reforming Supermax practices goes back a ways. For a long time "weve tried to figure out how to get them to stop throwing feces and cutting up," he says. Recently, he's been encouraged by the success hes seen at the Long Creek Youth Development Center, in South Portland.
There, the recidivism rate the return to crime of released offenders has plummeted from 50 percent to 10 percent in one year, he says. Magnusson guesses the state prisons recidivism rate is about 40 percent (he claims not to have hard numbers). The national recidivism rate is 55 to 60 percent, he says, and Californias reaches 75 percent. The Warren inmates have been in prison an average of three to five times, according to Magnusson.
The youth-center reform was accomplished, he believes, through "much improved programming" at the facility. And now "community resources are stronger" for the young inmates. The staff did so much training in how to "de-escalate" use of the restraint chair verbally calming down individuals instead of throwing them in the chair that now the chair is "out in a warehouse getting cobwebs on it." At this institution, too, he says, a "progressive reward system" was successfully put in place.
The reforms at the youth center took place after years of intense public criticism. Amnesty International in the late 1990s accused the place of mistreating children. A former inmate claimed, in a 2001 lawsuit, that he suffered excessive solitary confinement and use of the restraint chair; the state settled out of court for $600,000. The youth centers superintendent was replaced in 2003.
Magnusson says he wants to bring in the NIC to help implement a rewards system at the Supermax and to create stages whereby an inmate can eventually be assimilated back to the general prison population. For example, a prisoner could earn more time outside the cell than the five hours a week now permitted.
The basic intent? "To go from a more punitive approach to more of a treatment approach," Magnusson says.
If Magnusson is sincere in wanting to reform the current system and he switches in conversation from the Supermax to the entire prison system when he talks about reforms he faces enormous obstacles.
The 2001 creation of the new Warren prison, which was built around the Supermax, caused big problems, and not much money has been provided by the state Legislature to deal with them.
While waiting to interview Supermax prisoners, I talked casually with several guards. They had little good to say about the new prison.
"Ninety-nine percent of the people here would go back to the old prison in a heartbeat," one tall, middle-aged guard told me, referring to both prisoners and guards. The old prison in Thomaston was "quiet," he said, unlike the new one: "There was a pecking order" among the inmates. A woman guard nodded agreement.
"Youre right," Magnusson responds when told of these complaints. The "much more comfortable" old prison had 430 beds, he says, and the new one quickly filled up to its 1100-prisoner capacity, creating a host of adjustment problems, especially with the addition of hundreds of young prisoners from the Maine Correctional Center, in South Windham, and the overcrowed county jails. And the design of the new prison placed guards tensely "alone in a pod," or cellblock, with prisoners.
Assaults on guards and prisoners shot up, helping fill the Supermax, which is used to hold troublesome prisoners (according to state officials, the Supermax usually is at about 90 percent capacity). And so did the difficulty of recruiting and retaining personnel at the prison, which now has 428 employees. Magnusson noted that, while there are 600 more adult prisoners in the corrections system than there were in 1995, there are 100 fewer staff. Right now he is faced with a mandatory overtime pay problem because, he says, he cant understaff the prison.
The Legislature and the governor have been stingy in funding corrections (my characterization, not Magnussons). The state prison budget has gone up in dollar figures, reflecting the increasing number of inmates from $21 million in 1998 to $32 million in 2004. The total corrections budget is $132 million this year. But Magnusson has been unable to hire more permanent staff for a long time, he says. (According to a printout he provided, it has been about four years.) He says the reforms he will undertake will not involve significant expenses.
Maine has the second-lowest crime rate in the nation, and the rate has been declining, as is happening nationally. Our state also has the lowest incarceration rate. On the flip side, prison populations have been shooting up for years both in Maine and across the nation. Magnusson says he "never saw this coming" the huge increase in Maines prison population and the resulting strains, including overcrowing in just about every facility. The incarceration rate in the state has more than doubled in the past 25 years. For the population increase, Magnusson largely blames mid-1990s changes in the sentencing laws and district attorneys who got plea bargains that sent prisoners to the state prison instead of to the congested county jails.
The obstacles to prison reform are hardly Maine-specific. Most profoundly, they lie in the human psyche on the battleground between revenge and forgiveness, between hope and pessimism. Global opinion condemns the US for capital punishment (though Maine doesnt have it), the nations highest-in-the-world incarceration rate, and its supermaxes.
Many criminologists say the supermaxes and the prison system as a whole are demonstrably counterproductive, if one assumes the goal is to return prisoners who wont commit crimes again to society. The high recidivism rate proves this, they say; the exiting convicts are not being "corrected" or reformed.
Arguably, the prison system is a success on another level, suggests sociologist and Bowdoin dean McEwen: the crime-rate may be going down in the US because 2.3 million of the most likely crime-doers are locked up the number continues to climb each year and the supermaxes "work" in a sense because they remove disruptive people from the general prison population.
But most citizens would prefer that the 90 percent of inmates coming out of prison dont continue their criminal activity. And "theres a strong line of evidence and argument that punitive responses are not likely to be effective as deterrents" to the bad actions of prisoners or released prisoners, McEwean says.

U.S. Dept. of Justice Gay Employee Group Honors Lambda Legal Tomorrow at Event that Was Banned from Agency Headquarters
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(Washington, DC -- Thursday, June 19, 2003) Lambda Legal Defense & Education Fund will receive an award tomorrow at an annual gay pride event held by U.S. Dept. of Justice employees -- capping two weeks of controversy over a policy change blocking the group from meeting at the agency's headquarters even though other employee associations can continue holding similar events.
In early June, the Dept. of Justice notified its gay and lesbian employee group that, for the first time in several years, it would not be allowed to hold an annual pride ceremony in the Great Hall of Justice at the agency's Washington, DC, headquarters. Instead, tomorrow's event is at the U.S. Senate's Russell Office Building. The group of about 200 Dept. of Justice employees will present Lambda Legal with an award for its historic U.S. Supreme Court case challenging Texas's "Homosexual Conduct" law.
"The Justice Department's discriminatory treatment of its own lesbian and gay employees is exactly the kind of government-sanctioned bigotry we're trying to end with our Supreme Court case," said Susan Sommer, supervising attorney at Lambda Legal, who will accept the award on behalf of the organization. "Whether it's the State of Texas barging into a private home and arresting two men for having consensual sex or the Justice Department blocking gay employees from access enjoyed by every other employee group, the government has no business singling out gay people for second-class treatment."
After coming under fire for refusing to host the annual event, the Dept. of Justice told the gay employee group that it could hold its ceremony in the Great Hall of Justice as it has for several years, but that the Dept. of Justice would not sponsor the event - which would force the group to pay to use the space, unlike every similar employee group. In a statement, the employee group's Board of Directors said, "The Board has decided to decline the Department's offer of second class citizenship. We will not pay a toll to access the Great Hall of Justice."
Tomorrow's event will take place at 12:30 p.m. at the Russell Senate Office Building in the Russell Caucus Room at 1st and C Streets, NE. Sommer will accept the Gerald B. Roemer Community Service Award, which recognizes contributions to the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue its decision in Lambda Legal's case next week. Full details and background on the case are at: www.lambdalegal.org/MakingHistory

I invite you to come to one of my upcoming workshops, and experience yoga and acupuncture for yourself!
Upcoming Workshops:
Sunday April 15, 2012
Ahnjel will be at Maha Yoga in Brentwood for:
Shoulder Opening Workshop Yoga & Acupuncture Workshop

"I didn't get into this to make a statement," says Tony Valenzuela, star of Positively Yours, the first gay adult film to have HIV as a major plot point. "I just wanted to do brainless porn, make some money and feel sexy." But the bitter taste left from the shoot has Valenzuela advising other PWAs to keep quiet if they want screen time.
It had a fairy-tale beginning. Valenzuela nailed the open audition with All Worlds Video, a California-based company specializing in adult films. They liked him so much that they offered him two roles on the spot and the chance to be an exclusive model in their gay adult films. There was just one thing--Valenzuela never mentioned he was HIV positive.
As a popular AIDS activist in San Diego who wrote a regular column about HIV in the local gay press, Valenzuela naturally assumed they knew. "Besides, I felt it was a given in porn that the actors had safe sex. But when I told All Worlds, everything turned upside down," Valenzuela says. "They took away the two roles and said that a person with HIV wouldn't be considered sexy. They figured the audience would see me not having sex, but infecting someone."
Enter Mike Donner. An All Worlds director known for scripts that challenge social norms, Donner wanted to make a film with an HIV angle. The same day he was fired, Valenzuela was told he was perfect for Donner's upcoming Positively Yours. The movie centers around a writer who uses his newspaper column to discuss how a recent HIV diagnosis has affected his sex life. As he deals with all his touchy-feely issues, he gets to touch and feel the various fantasy men conjured up to help him integrate his physical and emotional needs.
One can imagine Valenzuela's look of disappointment when he read the script. He got into porn to play sex-drenched love gods, and ended up with a character who expresses emotions more suited to an after-school special than an erotic film--guilt, resentment and, finally, acceptance.
With such a heavy script Donner, needed an unapologetically sexy stud to cure Valenzuela's character of his HIV woes and draw the audience in. Jeff Blythe, aka Sam Crockett, joined the cast, a prince with a big name and a big, er, following.
"I was thrilled," Blythe says. "Mike Donner knows me as someone who can function in front of the camera no matter what. He knew it wouldn't affect my performance just because someone involved was known to be positive."
With Blythe on board, the project seemed to be in full swing, but after a series of delays, All Worlds got cold feet. The fear was that audiences weren't ready for such an up-front handling of HIV. Valenzuela was beside himself, calling the producers out of touch with the gay community and challenging their trus in safe-sex practices. All Worlds relented and the film was finally shot last August.
The film's release caused a stir in the industry, with some even refusing to review it because to them, HIV killed the fantasy. One person who did look at it was Gary Phillip, editor of Skinflicks, a magazine about the industry's movers and shakers. "Donner's been known to push buttons before," he says. "I think he was the perfect person to direct the film."
But Phillip is still troubled by the movie's decidedly mixed message about HIV and sex. From the beginning, the audience is led to believe that the film will feature the same safe sex for all. But during the opening oral-sex scene, it's painfully obvious that Blythe is using kid gloves on his positive playmate. "There's a disparity in the movie about what is safe," Phillip says. "I found it hypocritical that Blythe didn't take Valenzuela's dick in his mouth, but then [two other actors of indeterminate status] have an unprotected rimming scene." Paradoxically, the strict regulations only apply to the hunk known to be positive. The result may be a surprise to Donner, who sought to make a positive film about being HIV positive. Instead, it reinforces the notion that there is a safety in ignorance and few rewards for honesty.
Despite being an exceedingly good boy on film, Tony Valenzuela has still been accused of trying to make HIV fashionable. he was particularly upset by a recent New York Blade article in which noted psychologist Walt Odets weighed in on the dangers the film may pose to a negative audience. Valenzuela says, "He thinks negative people will say, 'If Valenzuela can be positive and sexy, what's so terrible about HIV?' Do I need a tattoo on my biceps that says 'HIV Sucks,' so that no matter how big my biceps get people will still know it sucks? Don't ask HIV positive people not to go for all the things we want and don't expect us to explain to you that having HIV sucks."
What frustrates Valenzuela most is that he suspects that he was just a special project for All Worlds. When his contract expired, Valenzuela says he assumed that he could simply extend it as most models do, especially in light of the multiple delays in making the film. The company refused. "All Worlds doesn't want to touch me as fas as being an HIV postivie model," Valenzuela says.
According to Donner, the decision to no work with Valenzuela again had nothing to do with his HIV status, but everything to do with his demands. "He became pushy and greedy," but the movie hadn't even come out yet and Tony got impatient."
Valenzuela's advice to positive up-and-comers considering a career in adult film is blunt. "I know a guy who's really hot and one of his fantasies is to do porn. Trust me, he'd be a star. But he's positive. My advice is that if he doesn't want a battle, he shouldn't disclose."
Fans of Valenzuela's work in Positively Yours should not despair. "I am sending pictures to Catalina and other companies. I just want to see if this remains a taboo. What do I have to lose?"
"Look," he continues, "if your story is about HIV and porn then it needs to be accurate. I'm not sure the industry is going to move on this. And if it's going to take another extremely determined pain in the ass like me, it may not happen anytime soon."
Hot And Bothered
"I didn't get into this to make a statement," says Tony Valenzuela, star of Positively Yours, the first gay adult film to have HIV as a major plot point. "I just wanted to do brainless porn, make some money and feel sexy." But the bitter taste left from the shoot has Valenzuela advising other PWAs to keep quiet if they want screen time.

April 2000
BeschreibungThe Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington's oldest and largest private art museum, is recognized nationally and internationally for its outstanding collection of American art. Its founder, William Wilson Corcoran, was among the first American collectors to seriously appreciate contemporary art of this country, at a time when most of his peers favored European works. His important collection of mainly American paintings and sculpture formed the nucleus of the art museum he founded in 1869.Over its 130-year history the Corcoran's collection of American art has grown dramatically through purchases and generous gifts. Today, the Corcoran's holdings total over fourteen thousand objects, at the core of which is a world-renowned collection of nineteenth-century American paintings, sculpture, prints, and drawings; American art of the eighteenth century is also well represented. The Corcoran continues to build its contemporary collection, notably through purchases made from the Biennial exhibitions of contemporary art, begun in 1907. As a result, the museum also has a highly regarded collection of twentieth-century painting, sculpture, photography, and media arts.

There is a fine line between perfumery and fetish
God bless America!
Well, when I saw this, I just HAD to buy it. I am the office prankster, and several of my co-workers have been the targets of some of my best work and I like to keep them on their toes. My mind was on overdrive trying to decide which of my co-workers was going to get it as a "gift", according to who would be most offended, or what kind of pranks I could create with such a delicious, unmistakable scent??
I work in an office with 6 men, who all could easily be male models, for either Abercrombie or Calvin Klein underwear, which, honestly, is probably the reason we get so much repeat business. They are the most beautiful, perfectly chiseled, health conscious men I've ever met, and they fret over gaining weight more than any women I know.
This is why, most of my pranks are food related - like the time I filled my co-worker Brian's desk drawers with microwave popcorn just before he was expecting clients (every drawer he opened was filled to the brim), or how I gave my co-worker Michael a scarf as his Secret Santa gift that looked EXACTLY like a piece of raw bacon, which he wore all winter! I know their achilles heel...and since they can all take a good joke, I go the extra mile to think of new and interesting pranks all the time.
So, I had high high hopes for this scent. I imagined it would just reek of freshly cooked thick cut maple bacon, which I knew would drive my 6-pack-Abercrombie-Ab-model co-workers absolutely insane, and how I would squeal with delight at how "yummy" they smelled. I imagined coming to work early, and spraying it all over their office chairs while snickering to myself as that smell permeated the office.
So, before I kick-started all my pranks, I decided I should test it on myself first.
What a let down to my prankster heart! Instead of being sickly nauseating, this scent is entirely well blended and extremely pleasant. It smells like a warmer version of Davidoff Cool Water with a hint of bacon on a bed of herbs in the distant background. On me, bacon is not the dominant note as I'd hoped, but just a supporting note. It gives the scent a very unusual and comforting dimension. It smells very manly-man, but also slightly confused. I would say it can't decide whether to be an aquatic scent, a gourmand, or an aromatic fougere, so it is all of them!
I would say that it's one of the most interesting scents I've sampled in a long, long, time and as I wear it, it keeps changing, getting slightly warmer and softer as time goes. So, actually, the joke is on me!! It's too masculine for me to wear, but I would definitely like to try it out on my boyfriend, but not as a joke, as a good scent to nuzzle up to on his neck.
OMG - really? I mean really? id be hungry alllllll the time, thats just weird smelly of bacon looool
I giggled lots at this one! :)
To the person that has this as their 'signature' scent, you made my day!
Id actually love to try this. The scent of maple cured GOOD quality bacon - yummy! The way the scent is described by Labaloo makes me want to try it even more. I do not see it for sale anywhere though !!
Well, I've looked at the ratings.
Bacon,.... on a hot summer day?
Sizzle, sizzle?
Come on guys.
Bacon Really? Curiouser and Curiouser!! :) My cat would love it... Just Kidding! Interesting, nonetheless: really want to smell it!
You know... I was surprised by this fragrance. It's a bit surreal, really... and the scent of fried bacon is just one of its many notes. It is well-composed. It brought my mind suddenly to the time I went camping on the Grand Canyon rim, surrounded by fragrant trees, the morning sky, and the scent of cooking-fires riding the breeze. It reminds me of mountains, and wild plateaus, and looking out, restless, at a low-hanging cloud.
omg i have never wanted to try a fragrance out more than at this very moment, seriously? i feel like id get pimples just by spritzing it on my, like if they got the bacon scent from the grease of a frying pan (thats my mind being weird, sorry)
I hope it'll be targeted for the British market!
My Boyfriend loves bacon, this would be perfect for him when he comes round to visit me in Italy and he craves a fried breakfast!
has someone actually smelled this? or are people just voting "hate it" because they can't IMAGINE liking it? if the latter, that's pretty whack, folks.
hahahah epic meal time guys must love this one!

The schools of Newtown, which stood empty in the wake of a shooting rampage that took 26 of their own, will again ring with the sounds of students and teachers on Tuesday as the bucolic Connecticut town struggles to return to normal.
But among the normal sounds of a school day - teachers reading to children, the scratch of pencil on paper - students will hear new ones, including the murmur of grief counselors and the footsteps of police officers.
Four days after 20-year-old Adam Lanza strode into Sandy Hook Elementary school and gunned down a score of 6- and 7-year-olds, in addition to six faculty and staff, that school will remain closed. It is an active crime scene, with police coming and going past a line of 26 Christmas trees that visitors have decorated with ornaments, stuffed animals and balloons in the school colors of green and white as a memorial to the victims.
The massacre - one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history - shocked Americans, prompting some lawmakers to call for tighter restrictions on guns and causing school administrators around the country to assess their safety protocols.
Newtown police plan to have officers at the six schools scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, trying to offer a sense of security to the students and faculty, many of whom spent the weekend in mourning. Newtown Police Lieutenant George Sinko acknowledged it may be difficult to ease the worries of the roughly 4,700 returning students and their families.
"Obviously, there's going to be a lot of apprehension. We just had a horrific tragedy. We had babies sent to school that should be safe and they weren't," Sinko said. "You can't help but think … if this could happen again."
Newtown High School Principal Charles Dumais, in an e-mail to parents, said schools in the district would open two hours later than usual, with counselors available to students and their families.
"This is a day to start healing," Dumais said.
While school officials have not yet decided when Sandy Hook students will resume their studies, the building that they will move into - the unused Chalk Hill School in the nearby town of Monroe - already showed signs of preparation.
On a fence opposite the building, a green sign with white lettering proclaimed "Welcome Sandy Hook Elementary!"
In Washington, the massacre prompted U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday to call a White House meeting with advisors to discuss ways to respond, a first step toward fulfilling the pledge he made a day earlier in Newtown. Th e administration's plans to curb violence include but are not limited to gun-control measures, a spokesman said.
Police have warned it could take months for them to finish their investigation into the attack, which started when Adam Lanza killed his mother, Nancy, at home, before driving to the school armed with a Bushmaster AR 15 rifle and two handguns. After shooting 26 people at the school, he turned his gun on himself when he heard police approaching.
In total, 28 people died in the incident.
Many of the students and faculty of Sandy Hook and its neighbors will still have funerals to attend.
The first two victims, Noah Pozner and Jack Pinto, both 6, were buried on Monday, with the boys' bodies laid out in white coffins. Jack was dressed in a New York Giants jersey with his favorite player's number, while mourners left a teddy bear outside Noah's service.
More funerals were expected on Tuesday, for victims including James Mattioli and Jessica Rekos. Each was 6 years old.
"It's still not real that my little girl, who was so full of life and who wants a horse so badly and who's going to get cowgirl boots for Christmas isn't coming home," Krista Rekos, Jessica's mother, told ABC News on Monday.

About MeHI! :-)
My name is Rachel, im 19, and loving life! Life is a crazy rollercoaster that I am making the best of each and every day!
I was born up in Rawlins, Wyoming in the summer month of May. Taurus BABY!!!! Stubborn all the way. My father was and still is a preacher; he and my mother have been big inspirations and examples throughout my life. Growing up the youngest of four siblings taught me alot about sharing, caring and what not to do. ;) Altough my father, my mother, and family may not always agree or approve of what i do, i always say TO THYSELF BE TRUE! You have to let your heart, mind, and life take you where you are supposed to go, you cant always be a follower; you MUST take lead in your own life and become your own "star player" and let yourself shine. If you dont, NO ONE else will.
Immediate goals in my life are to become more experienced, mature as each and every day goes by, and hope that i can make a positive difference in not only one but all souls i come into contact with. Beauty isnt everything, its whats in your heart that truly makes or breaks you.
I am willing and READY to try NEW and different ideas that you might have!
NO NUDES shots!!!
PIN UP style
EXTREME makeup
something with buttons- lots of buttons!
fashion that doesnt match- (makes for some really cool shots)
something with vines and green...

Audi Ann Arbor is the premier Audi dealership in southeast Michigan, and because we sell so many new Audi cars and SUV's - we are constantly taking in local, low-mileage trade-in vehicles. But only the ones with a spotless Carfax Report - and which also pass our rigorous inspection process - end-up in our used car inventory or as a Certified Pre-Owned Audi.
The good news for you is that we've sorted through all the cars with frame damage, or poorly maintained, or that have been smoked-in - and sent them away - leaving only the best used cars for you to choose from. Which is why buyers come from all over the Detroit metro area and beyond to buy these high-quality used cars.
So browse through our used cars online. We include free tools like a free Carfax Report, an auto loan payment calculator, and a free KBB Price Advisor Report right inside each used car listing so you have all the resources you need to make an informed decision. We're even happy to show you the reconditioning work we completed before putting our used cars for sale.
So whether you're looking for a used Audi, a Certified Pre-Owned Audi, or just a great luxury used car - we believe there is no better choice than Audi Ann Arbor. But we're not the only ones.

Communication tools
The learning management system (LMS) used at the University of Sydney utilises a number of integrated communication tools to promote conversation between you and your class. Blogs, Journals and Wikis have been updated with improved tool interfaces as part of the recent upgrade for Semester 1, 2014.
You can communicate to the students through a number of tools :
- Announcements go to all students, with the option of emailing all students at the same time
- All students through course blogs, public journals or a discussion board or by commenting on a wiki
- Groups of student through group discussion boards or group blogs or journals
- Individual students through private journals, emails from the retention centre or by emailing individuals or groups of students through the email interface
- Commenting on individual blogs or journals
These communication tools have different levels of privacy, depending on group settings and how you have set up your UoS course.
Announcements are the most commonly used communication tool. Best practice is to include the 'Announcements' tool in your left-hand side menu. This is automatically included in most sites. Using the 'Announcements' tool makes it easier for both you and the students to access your announcements from any device. Instructors have the option of both posting an announcement, but also sending an email to all student's email addresses. You can attach a link in your 'Announcement' to any area in your in UoS website or to an attachment (Word doc, or PDF) that is emailed to the students. However, they will need to login to the LMS to access the attachment. We recommend using the Announcement tool as the 'Announcements' are recorded in Blackboard, and archived as a permanent record.
Blogs are public chronological posts. These posts are displayed according to date of entry. Blogs in the LMS are only visible to people enrolled in the unit of study (UoS), and by default can be seen by all enrolled students.
Course blogs can be used as an ongoing collection of links or suggestions of media related to the course. All students are allowed to post or comment on a blog by default. It is best to treat posting on blogs as 'public'. Blog posts can be edited after posting.
Discussion Boards
You can create discussion forums and threads in individual UoS websites, and add a 'subscribe' function so that students (and yourself) can receive automatic emails when there are new postings.
You can make students 'moderators' in a discussion board, and enable 'ratings' for posts. Discussion boards also allow students to email each other directly.
Images, web links and attachments can be added to discussion boards. You can enable grading on a discussion board which allows you to see how often students post, how many words they post on average and also their post response ranking - whether they start posts or respond in general.
Only people enrolled in the UoS website have access to the discussions.
Journals can be graded, or used for reflection. The default settings for journals are set to private and shared only between you and an individual student. You can make journals public, so they are viewable by the other enrolled students in the UoS website, but students are unable to comment on other student's public journals.
A wiki is a collaborative tool which allows students to contribute to and modify web pages. It can provide a means of sharing and collaboration between the whole class or a restricted group. Pages can be created and edited quickly by the members of groups, and it allows you to see a comparative history of who has edited, added or made changes to the wiki. This makes collaboration between multiple writers in tutorial groups easier and allows students to edit online, in real time.

Section in Granada
Do & See
It is possible to explore the city on foot. This is also the best way to inhale the life in Granada, as the shadow of the Alhambra guards you. The pace of life here is different. Get used to long leisurely lunches and decadent afternoon naps called siestas.

I knew i saw one of the assistant coaches say something to him. I didnt see the part with Monty though
Monty: "Oh, Mr. Benson, you want us to lose more games to get some ping pong balls? No problem."
quote:Definitely not good for Gordon when Xavier Henry is getting 3rd quarter minutes.
Have a feeling we won't see EG again tonight. Hope we don't see him next game either.
@Lockedonsports: Eric Gordon sitting on end of the bench and disengaged with the Hornets #NOHatUTA
quote:Utah got a few easy buckets to start the 3rd quarter. The staff definitely must've thought it was on Gordon cause more than one coach had something to say to Gordon. The head assistant got him first, then they went to commercial and Gordon's been on the end of the bench since.
Any explanation for what happened with Gordon?

Ripoff Report
Optimum one Health160 Eileen Way Syosset, New York USA
Optimum one Health My husband was laid off work, and I looked for an affordable health plan for my family and myself. Optimum One Health called me and offered me a very good plan unlimited dr. visits dental and vision. I asked the sales representative about our doctors if they are in the network she checked it out and assured me that they are in the network. when I tried to see the doctor it turned out that the doctor is not in the network. Optimum One pays only $75 for a visit in case the doctor is in the network. Syosset New York
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
In May my husband was laid off work. I looked for an affordable health insurance. Optimum One Health called me and told me that the insurance will include unlimited doctor visits prescriptions denta and visition.
Before I sugned up for the insurance I asked specifically if the doctors wek use are in the network. The sales representative checked it out and assured me that they are.
The sales representative never said that it is a limited plan and the doctors we use are not included in the plan.
I had an appointment for the pediatritian, a week before O had the appointment I called the insurance to make sure that everything is alright and I will be covered. they assured me again that there is no problem.
At the doctor's office it turned out that the doctor is not in the network, and if the insurance pay for the visit it is only $75.
Regarding the prescription plan it is only a discount not a full coverage. Instead of paying $7 for a generic drug they wanted $106.
This is not the information I got when I signed up for the plan, they deceived me.

Thanks to modern technology, I have seen several videos with the British Eurosport guys (Chris and Simon) commentating during worlds and Olympics. They are so enjoyable! They are positive, they don't talk too much, and the way they throw the conversational ball back and forth is hilarious. I think they make good points with good humor.
Does anyone else give a to these guys?

The new Audi RS 4 Avant has returned to the Nurburgring for testing and spy photographers who frequent the 'Green Hell' have nabbed plenty of shots. Unlike previous RS 4 mules in spy photos we've featured here, this latest RS 4 tester appears to boast the upcoming facelift bodywork planned for the A4 range such as A6 and now A5 inspired headlights,
Check out this test mule spied testing in the Alps. Outwardly, there's not much oddball about the car. Other than a low ride height and what looks like some aluminum foil stuck to the nose, you wouldn't think much of it. Around back though (more pics after the jump), there's a quad exhaust. This is definitely a mule, and no it's not a Cajun as confirmed by those Ingolstadt plates.
Another next-gen A3-based mule has been spotted hot-weather testing in Death Valley this week and a set of photos of the car has been published over on WorldCarFans. That it's a next-gen A3 3-door body is obvious, but further deduction of its S3 configuration is defined by the car's fascia (very close to A6 S-line and presumably S6), as well as quad exhausts. WorldCarFans says the engine will be a 276
An interesting set of new Audi spy photos came across our virtual desktop this morning, showing what outwardly may look like a Q5 but is most likely a Q6 drivetrain prototype.
Why Q6? Whatever it is, this crossover appears to be both longer and wider than the Q5. Note the extension in wheelbase added in between the front and rear doors in addition to fender arch extensions from the Audi
We've got one more photo from this week's score of test mules spied running through their paces in Argentina this week. One of the cars in the convoy we originally reported about on Monday was definitely an A6 Avant. This rear shot of that car provided to us by our spy photographer sources reveals it's not just an A6 Avant either but likely one with allroad treatment.
Remember that group of Audi test mules including believed RS 6 Avant and RS 7 shot in North America last week? Brit automotive website AutoExpress has published a new set of stills that depict the RS 6 Avant with much more clarity thanks to a plethora of angles. Check out all of the shots AutoExpress after the jump.
Full Story
Check out these spy photos that came in from our sources this morning. The photographer labeled it as an S7 with a new bumper as S7 test mules have been regular fixtures in testing locales over the last few weeks. Even still, we're pretty sure this is an RS 7 due to that snarling maul.
Other than the chin, the car looks as if it could be an S7 spec. The otherwise S-line
We're not sure what to make of this R8 GT-based test mule spotted at the Nurburgring yesterday. Clearly the car is a factory mule and clearly it's been upgraded. Here's a quick rundown of the changes we spot.
*Bigger racing-style front chin spoiler
*Front and rear fender flaps indicating a likely wider track
*Small Gurney flaps on rear to each side of spoiler
Audi engineeers and spy photographers alike have had a very busy day today. We've just received our third set of photos of the day and this time around the focus is the upcoming S6 Avant following sets of the R8 GT Spyder and S1 3-door
Those who read this site closely already know that the A6 Avant will be revealed tomorrow at 8PM CEST,
It's a little known fact that the Audi S1 was supposed to be revealed nearly a year ago at the Paris Auto show. Paris organizers even listed the car as a headliner on the show website for a while but for some reason not shared wtih us, sources at Audi AG tell us the car was pulled from the mix. Several months later though in January, we had a chance to test drive a prototype A1 1.4

Are There 2 Gospels?
By David J. Stewart
Romans 4:5, "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
My question to you is:
Are there 2 Gospels?
- The false gospel of John MacArthur, Ray Comfort, Kirk Cameron, Paul Washer, Jack Chick, Aiden Tozer, David Cloud, and others; require a person forsake (or be willing to forsake) their lifestyle of sin, make amends, and change their ways, as a prerequisite to saving faith. This false gospel confuses the FRUIT of a changed life with the ROOT of saving-faith. The sinner is required to change their own life. Believing is not enough, the sinner must commit to stopping all their sins to be saved. This is a false gospel.
- The Biblical gospel teaches that sinners are saved solely by Christ's righteousness, and that no self-righteousness of any kind is required, because we have none to offer (Isaiah 64:6); neither does a person have to quit any sin to be saved. A changed life is the FRUIT of genuine repentance, and not a part of the ROOT of saving-faith. We don't give up our sins to BE saved; but rather, we give up our sins because we ARE saved. God makes the changes. Our part is simply to believe, God does the rest. Romans 4:5 teaches that a person's faith is COUNTED for righteousness!
One's salvation is solely based in Christ's righteousness and God's PROMISES (Titus 1:2), having absolutely nothing to do with a sinner's desire to cease from committing sins. Lordship Salvationists place the cart before the horse. Romans 4:5-6 plainly teaches that salvation is without works of self-righteousness, and that the ungodly are saved by the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ (2nd Corinthians 5:21). Salvation is of the Lord.
A changed life is the FRUIT of genuine repentance (James 2:18-21); and not a part of the ROOT of saving faith (Romans 4:5-6). Abraham was saved in Genesis 15:6 when he believed upon the Lord; but Abraham's faith was demonstrated in Genesis 22:10 when he offered up his son Isaac in obedience to God. A person gives up their sins because they ARE a Christian; and not to BECOME a Christian. The changed life comes AFTER a person is saved, as a person grows in the milk of the Word (1st Peter 2:2).
A lot of Christians have brushed the issue aside as a matter of semantics, but the difference between the 2 Gospels is day and night. One includes a certain degree of self-righteousness, which is a false gospel; but the other is solely based upon Christ's righteousness and God's PROMISE, which is by the precious literal, physical, blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Salvation is not something that we do to get; it is a gift that we receive to have.
Every Idle Word
Christ Paid Our Debt Of Sin
Catholics Teach the Exact Same Meaning of "Born Again" as Lordship Salvationists!

Ye Must Be Born Again! | You Need HIS Righteousness!

Global Mobile to replace Wimax with LTE
May 06, 2011
Taiwan's Global Mobile has announced plans to dump Wimax in favor of LTE as the latter appears to be the dominant 4G standard.
Chairperson Rosemary Ho told the Taipei Times that the operator would apply for government permission to switch its license from Wimax to LTE once it hits 70% coverage. Government regulations dictate Wimax operators can only apply for the LTE switch once the 70% coverage target has been met.
Ho said Global Mobile intends to achieve this target by year-end, where the operator will have at least 1,000 base stations deployed.
The operator's current Wimax base stations are LTE compatible, but the switch will come at a price due to LTE equipment's higher cost compared to Wimax. Ho added the transition might affect the operator's competitiveness.
Global Mobile aims to grow subscriber numbers from 160,000 this year to 250,000 next year.
Taiwan currently has 6 Wimax licensees – Tatung InfoComm, Vmax, Far EasTone, Vee and International Telecom and Global Mobile.
According to ABI Research, operators could benefit from a dual strategy based on Wimax and LTE.
China's regulator recently announced the country would not see commercial LTE rollouts till 2014; Hong Kong's CSL and Japan's NTT Docomo each went live with their LTE services late last year.
Financial inclusion opens a fundamentally new data business
Telcos can pursue partnerships with Fintech providers to capitalize on the opportunity
