text:
The Rapture is the popular term used to describe one perceived view of the Lord's return based on the writings of the Apostle Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. The word "rapture" comes from the Latin rapere used by the Vulgate to translate the Greek word harpaz?, which is rendered by the phrase "caught up" in most English translations. See below:
"For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord." (1 Thess. 4:16-17, ESV) It is the term used primarily in Dispensationalism to refer to the "catching up" of believers who are alive at the Lord's return, which they see as an event preceding the Lord's "official" second coming, and the setting up of his millennial Kingdom on earth. Dispensational premillennialists distinguish the rapture from Christ's second coming to earth. The degree to which the rapture is secret or public is a separate issue. The timing of the rapture is associated with a final period of Tribulation anticipated by Scripture.
- The Rapture View (YouTube), William Lane Craig
Pre-tribulation Rapture
The majority view taught in dispensationalism, is referred to as the Pre-Tribulation Rapture. This is the belief that the Rapture will occur sometime prior to the beginning of "Daniel's 70th Week," interpreted as the final seven years of this age. In this view, believers will be translated into immortal bodies in the Rapture before the great persecutions by the Antichrist and seven years of Tribulation. Central passages for this view include 1 Thessalonians 4-5, Revelation 3:10, and all the passages that describe the Tribulation, but lack the word ekklesia in them (e.g., Daniel 9; 12; The Olivet Discourse; and Rev. 4-18.)
According to this view, the Christian Church (that existed prior to this seven year period) has no vital role in Daniel's seventieth week and is therefore removed from the scene while God completes his program for Israel. The pre-trib rapture is the view popularized through the work of dispensational preachers such as Hal Lindsey and Tim LaHaye in his recent Left Behind novel series. However, the definitive works on the subject include John Walvoord's The Rapture Question, J. Dwight Pentecost's Things to Come, and Charles Ryrie's Dispensationalism Today.
Mid-tribulation or Mid-Daniel's 70th Week
"Mid-tribulation Rapture" is what Pre-tribulationalists call the view that the Rapture occurs in the middle of Daniel's 70th week. Daniel's 70th week (Dan. 9) is popularly called "the Tribulation," even if Mat. 24 effectively calls only the second half of Daniel's 70th week the Tribulation and the first half "The Beginning of Sorrows." Since "Mid-tribulationists" may use the more strict definition of "Tribulation" (last half of Daniel's 70th week), from their point of view they may be Pre-tribulationists. The "Mid-Daniel's 70th Week" view is not limited to dispensationalists and can be found in anti-dispensationalist James Oliver Buswell's Systematic Theology. Buswell was Dean of Graduate Faculty, Covenant College, St. Louis, Missouri.^[1]^(TKay 15:48, 26 June 2010 (UTC))
The other main view is termed the Post Tribulation Rapture. This view recognizes the concept of "rapture" from 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17, but believes the rapture is part of the first resurrection as described in 1 Corinthians 15:51-52 and takes place at the "second coming" of Christ.
"The post-trib view is the only rapture view which sees only a single future coming of Jesus. All other rapture views, pre-trib, mid-trib, and pre-wrath, see the rapture and resurrection prior to the second coming of Jesus by months or years. While these rapture views see the rapture as a means to take the Church to heaven to escape God's wrath, the post-trib view sees the rapture as a mechanism to gather together believers from both heaven and earth in a single location with Christ, to be revealed with Him in glory to the world at His coming." Warner
Unrevealed Imminency
This relatively new position is postulated by some at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. The view is that the Scriptures are intentionally unclear about when the rapture occurs. This leaves the believer expecting the rapture at any time before or during the Tribulation. The advantage of this position is that it coincides with the idea of imminency (Jesus could return at any moment like a "thief in the night") evidenced in the New Testament and in the writings of the Church Fathers while allowing for the possibility of seeing the Antichrist rise to power (2 Thessalonians 2:5ff). This position has not been given much publicity, but it avoids some of the liabilities of the above positions. ^[ _citation\ needed_]^
Pre-wrath rapture
This view was developed by Marvin Rosenthal;^[2]^ it is almost (but not quite) a Post-Trib position, but differs in one regard: Rosenthal believes Jesus will return for believers just prior to the Battle of Armageddon, near the very end of the Great Tribulation. This solves a problem in Post-Trib eschatology, namely, how can immortalized (raptured) believers enter the Millennium and have children? Since the mass conversion of Israel (and it is assume some others) occurs in the context of the Battle of Armageddon, this allows mortal believers to enter and populate the Millennial Kingdom.
Partial rapture
This view states that those who are actively looking for the return of Christ will be raptured. The Christians who are not looking for his return and are being lazy in their Christians lives will miss the rapture event.^[_citation\ needed_]^
Secret vs. Open Rapture
{{[Content and references needed.}}
Criticism of a separate "rapture"
The doctrine of the rapture as an event separate from the general resurrection is a fairly recent doctrinal development within the scope of the Church's historic body of belief.^[_citation\ needed_]^ Prior to 1830, most of the 'rapture texts' were regarded as referring to the General Resurrection. This was especially the case with the 1 Thessalonians 4 passage which was primarily regarded as referring to the resurrection rather than a rapture.^[_citation\ needed_]^
Virtually no prominent theologians held to this theory before Darby's influence in the 1840's.^[_citation\ needed_]^ For example, none of the great reformers, e.g. Luther^[3]^ or Calvin^[4]^, believed in a "Secret Rapture" theory. Nor did the ancient church fathers such as John Chrysostom, Justin Martyr, Irenaeus, Hippolytus expressly assert the theory of the pre-tribulation rapture, with the possible exception that The Shepherd of Hermas, 1.4.2 speaks of not going through the Tribulation.^[5]^
Some Reformed theologians are still favorable of using the term "rapture" but insist on making a very clear distinction between rapture as a synonym for resurrection and what Dispensationalists propose by the term, namely an escape from a yet-future tribulation period. John Stott calls this idea "escapism" in his book Issues Facing Christians Today (2006, 4th ed.). He goes on to write that the Dispensational concept of a "secret rapture"^[_citation\ needed_]^ is one of the most destructive doctrines gripping the Evangelical Church today. According to Stott, it thwarts planning, hinders social involvement, and gives Christians a gloomy outlook for the future.
Other texts used by proponents of a separate rapture,^[_citation\ needed_]^ such as Matthew 24:40 - Then two men will be in the field; one will be taken and one left., when taken in context (especially Christ's statement in Matthew 24:34) are seen by some Preterists as predictions of the Roman catapult bombardment of Jerusalem during the 42 month siege of Jerusalem from late 66-70 AD, not to a rapture. While Dispensationalists claim that the predictions in Matthew 24 are yet-future, centering on a secret-rapture,^[_citation\ needed_]^ critics maintain that an exegesis of this passage reveals that this is at best unlikely, if not biblically and historically impossible (cf. The Most Embarrassing Verse In The Bible by Andrew Corbett).
Argument Vs. a Rapture in the Olivet Discourse
It is common in English to express the direction of a verb by adding an adverb to it, as in "take in," "take up," "take down," "take away." The basic word for "take" in Greek is lamban?. In Greek, the directional aspect of a verb is instead often expressed as a prefix to the verb – such as para which means "to" or ana which means "up."^[6]^ In Matthew 24:40 and the parallel passage in Luke 17:34-36, the word to "take" is the Greek word paralamban? (^_[Strong's\ #3880]_^) meaning to "take to oneself," that is, to receive near or associate with oneself. If the writer had wished to express the direction "up" he could have used the prefix ana to lamban?.
In Acts 1:11, Luke does use the word analamban? (^_[Strong's\ #353]_^) because there he is describing Jesus being taken up into heaven. He could also have used another Greek word to express the idea of "lifting up." The Greek verb epair? (^_[Strong's\ #1869]_^) is used to describe God taking Jesus up to heaven in Acts 1:9. Luke wrote both the gospel and the book of Acts. If in Luke 17:34 he had wanted to say that we are going to be taken up into heaven he would have used one of the two words that he used to describe Jesus being "taken up" in Acts.
It is not clear what Matthew and Luke meant by word "taken". Many believe the context supports a reference to end times judgment rather than to salvation. In Matthew 27:27 and John 19:16 the same word – paralamban? - describes Jesus' arrest.

Asia Is Far From Being "Fixed"
Growing euphoria over Asia's economic rebound is starting to echo the exuberance of the days just before its crash. Stock markets in Hong Kong and Seoul are nearly back to their all-time highs, capital markets are pouring in loans, and mutual-fund managers are talking up Asia's potential again. The message is that Asia is "fixed" and we can all pick up where we left off nearly two years ago. Wrong. The critical regulatory and economic reforms needed to sustain a rebound are only half-done. Unless they are completed, hopes of reviving double-digit growth are misguided.
Take Korea. Its trade surplus is up, its stock market is booming, and its projected growth for next year is 3%. Banks and other industries are opening to foreign investment. But progress is achingly slow, and the chaebol are only starting to restructure. Capacity has not been cut, and profitability has not improved. Statements by Daewoo's chairman that his company will finally sell assets to lower debt are good news--if he follows through.
Thailand has bottomed out, but critically needed bankruptcy laws have only recently passed. Most companies have not even begun to streamline their operations. Indonesia remains a political powder keg, riven by ethnic strife. And Malaysia, which faces critical elections, has implemented little economic reform.
The strength of Asia's two biggest economies--Japan and China--is also in doubt. Tokyo has pumped $60 billion into its banks, but they are still not lending. Sony, Mitsubishi, and other big companies have only just announced plans to lay off employees and restructure. The IMF expects Japan's economy to shrink again in 1999. Meanwhile, China's economy is being kept afloat by enormous public-works spending. With state enterprises shedding millions of workers, exports weak, and its banks in trouble, China is struggling to maintain growth.
The good news is, the worst is over. But over-optimism, unemployment, politics, and simple denial threaten to undermine the rebound just as it begins.

Indians, Masterson break off extension talks
(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) – Despite making it clear over the last couple of weeks that he'd be willing to stay with the Cleveland Indians on a shorter-term deal, contract negotiations have broken off between Justin Masterson and the Tribe.
Reports of the negotiations surfaced on Thursday evening, the Indians lone off-day of spring training.
Masterson made it clear that he, along with agent Randy Rowley were going back-and-forth with the Indians front office with different contract proposals over the last several weeks but were unable to reach an agreement.
The Indians were not immediately available for comment on Thursday evening.
Back in February the Indians and Masterson avoided arbitration agreeing to a one-year contract worth $9,726,500, however once Masterson made it clear that he would stay with the club on a shorter-term deal an extension appeared imminent.
Masterson, 29, will be a free agent at the end of the 2014 season. The right-hander will open the year as Cleveland's ace at the top of the rotation and is scheduled to be the club's Opening Day starter in Oakland when the Indians begin a three-game series with the Athletics on March 31.
A week ago a source confirmed that the Indians were hesitant to give Masterson $15 million a year in a multi-year contract. Reports that surfaced on Thursday evening mentioned that the Tribe was believed to have been offering $12 million to $13 million a year.
Masterson was looking for a two or three-year deal worth about $17 million per year according to reports.
This recent negotiation break-off does not bode well for a possible contract extension with Masterson, however it does not necessarily mean the right-hander will not be back with Cleveland next year. Circumstances could always change prior to the season getting started or even once it begins.
With comparable numbers to Cincinnati Reds right-hander Homer Bailey, it is believed Masterson could be in line to sign a similar free agent contract; Bailey signed a six-year deal worth $105 million.
By season's end the Indians could still lock up Masterson to a contract extension, but Thursday's new developments make it a little harder to believe that may in fact end up being the case.

Let me know and … thanks in advance!
I don;t think this would do for TF.
The design looks old. You need to change it drasticaly, probably make another one that's more modern.
Ciao AnghelGabriel thanks for reply…
you're right, thanks for your opinion, I'm working from 10 days to completely rewrite the code and to improve the graphics … I hope my second attempt is successful …

Hi all,
I own a 1999.5 MK4 Jetta GL. I am begining to think that the air conditioning system needs to be recharged. There are no leaks as far as I know because the AC works as it blows cool air and dehumidifies the air.
The Bentley sais that when the AC is engaged with the fan on 4 and the engine running @ 1500 rpms, then the temperature should drop to 10 degrees Celcius at the dashboard vents WITHIN 1 MINUTE!
In my case this does not happen at all. While cool air indeed starts to blow, it might take it good 10 minutes of operation for the air to be well chilled.
This makes me think that my AC system needs to be recharged.
Now the Bentley also sais that our AC systems require R134a refrigerant AND some synthetic AC compressor oil. This is my primary concern! I know I can recharge my AC at any AC shop since but what about this compressor oil?
Is it the same as the engine coolant (G12): don't mix it with the one for american cars? Or is it designed to meet certain environment standards and it is interchangeable with any compressor oil?
Any thoughts and knowledge will be greatly appreciated!

Discussion in 'Off The Beaten Track' started by DarrellH, Mar 22, 2011.
Is anyone watching? The original series is being run on the Ovation channel.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll have to set my DVR for it.
Used to love that show when I was little. Will have to DVR it as well, thanks!
I loved this show! There were a lot of good songs on this show, which did well on the British charts, but never on the North American charts....
We Got The Power
Luckily the studio version fixed the Gene Anthony Ray/Lee Curreri vocals...while Erica Gimpel did fine without any help.
Valerie Landsburg - Beautiful Dreamer
This one might be the best written song of all that appeared on the show.
I just got Season 2 on DVD. Shorofsky's grey face makeup not so flattering on a high-def TV. I still have a crush on Bruno.
Wow, 80's fashion galore! (it's a marathon today and I'm at my sister's house, who gets the "ovation" channel)
I was SUCH an addict when I was a kid!
My friend had a record of the show too that we listened to endlessly - I mostly remember the Othello musical - "I wanna own ya Desdemona" and "Friday Night's gonna be all rights gonna be right's gonna be all right now baby!"
Me too.
My very first skating exhibition was to "I Still Believe In Me" which was sung by Coco and Miss Grant.
Snort. he does kind of have a Rockne Brubaker look about him, doesn't he?
I liked the theater teacher who did Music Man and how it was SO DEEP that "trouble in River City" mirrored the trouble in his own life. . . .
Leroy was SUCH a sexy dancer.
"You got big dreams? You want fame? Well, fame COSTS. And right here is where you start payin'. In SWEAT."
(Hey, no autotune like Glee!!!)
I wish I had that channel - I loved that show and went into 1,000 depressions when it was canceled. Then it was picked up for first-run syndication, but never seemed the same again.
Loved the concert show from London!

Bullying in schools is a constant focus of discussion, debate and concern. Not a week goes by, it seems, when there isn't a news article about some aspect: cyber bullying, text-bullying, bullying on playgrounds, classrooms and sports fields. What has been largely missing from the uproar are accounts of the widespread bullying of children with disabilities by both students and teachers.
The recent stories in Toronto in The Sun about William Lau, the young student with cerebral palsy who was being bullied in school, are the exception. These articles show that while progress has been made, students with disabilities still experience isolation and punishment. Thanks to The Sun's intervention and spotlight on the issue, William is now being given the support and protection he needs.
Unfortunately such public awareness and support of disabled students is rare, as too little is being done to ensure that children with disabilities are valued, respected and included. As Michelle Obama has pointed out, adults first need to evaluate their own attitudes and behavior before questioning the cause of their children's intolerance.
Often, though, it is not only adult attitudes reflected in children that threaten students with disabilities. It is school policies. In August 2009, Human Rights Watch published a shocking report on the use of corporal punishment in schools in the United States. Twenty one states still permit corporal punishment in their schools, and their research found that corporal punishment is used on children with disabilities at higher rates than on other children.
The report documents the experiences of autistic children who have been slammed face down on the floor while teachers sit on them, a process known as "face down restraint," or the first grader who was repeatedly spanked because of outbursts brought on by his Tourette's Syndrome.
Not only are these ineffective disciplinary techniques for any child with a disability, but because fear can exacerbate punishable behavior, these techniques also make the child's behavior worse. Can we really allow teachers to engage in this sort of violence, while we debate how to reduce bullying in schools? Both techniques attempt to exercise authority through fear.
In the case of my own disabled brother, who, after considerable effort by my parents, is able to attend his local school in British Columbia, I have witnessed the positive results of inclusive schools. My brother's own education and socialization skills have improved and he has been able to teach his classmates about disabilities and the acceptance of those who are different.
However, his experience has not always been positive. My brother was recently sent to sit at a desk outside the classroom for certain lessons. He was not disturbing the class; his teacher simply thought it was necessary so the class could proceed with their "normal" lesson. Allowing those in power to define what is "normal" and what is not is perhaps the most pervasive form of bullying.
If we want to eliminate bullying, we need to change the definition of what is "normal" in schools. Let us continue to discuss and work toward ending the acceptance and presence of bullying in our schools. But first we need to expand the dialogue to include the various differences and challenges facing vulnerable students within school communities. The priority for adults should be to set a better example for our children, which includes challenging school policies and attitudes that turn teachers into bullies.
Anastasia Holoboff resides in New York City but is originally from Toronto and has been involved in the disability rights community for many years both in Canada and internationally.

Making Business Sense Of Consumerization
Posted by Alexander Peters, Ph.D. on November 11, 2011
- 426 Recommendations
- 0 comments
I am currently setting up a research project on the impact consumerization is having on companies. Just as a quick reminder, we define consumerization as:
An approach by which employees use technologies such as smartphones, tablets, and cloud Internet services that they master at home or discover on their own to get work done.
The more I dive into the subject, the more difficulty I have making sense of it. Based on interviews and discussions with experts and practitioners, I've divided opinions on this topic into two camps. Let me profile them clearly to make the differences evident:
- Marketing people tend to see consumerization as a Groundswell phenomenon: Give your employees access to social platforms from Facebook to Twitter, arm them with tablets and access to apps, and let a new era of creativity and innovation explode.
- IT experts need a clear implementation plan — waterfall-like if possible: First you capture requirements; then you plan the implementation and secure budgets; then you develop, integrate, and test the apps, etc.
The first approach is about creating a broad collaborative environment with help from technology, whereas the second one emphasizes practical realities related to security requirements, budgeting, and integration.
My question is: Do these two approaches make business sense? Are they orthogonal or we can find something in between?
For example, let's start with the assumption that businesses exist to fulfill some social responsibility and need to demonstrate profitability to exist. (Please excuse my old-fashioned mindset.) Do we need somebody to make business sense of consumerization and purposely drive it? Can it be IT, or it should be a business stakeholder — for example, HR — responsible for driving personal productivity and collaboration along some business processes? Do we need an extra mobility czar or can a business architect also do the job? Do firms need an extra governance process for consumerization, or do the fundamentals of business process governance suffice?
I very much welcome and appreciate your answers and other comments.

Subcommittee Examines Report on Solar Research Priorities
(Washington, DC) – Today, the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology's Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics held a hearing to examine the recommendations in the National Research Council's (NRC) decadal survey, Solar and Space Physics: A Science for a Technological Society. The recommendations addressed both the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's (NASA) and National Science Foundation's (NSF) solar and space physics programs and the application of this research to an operational space weather program. These programs seek to improve our understanding of the Sun and its variations, the connection between the Sun and the Earth environment, and the impact of solar activity and space weather events on human activities. Testifying before the Subcommittee were representatives from the NRC decadal survey committee, NASA, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
The decadal survey provides independent, external input on the priorities and plans for NASA's heliophysics program and NSF's ground-based research activities in solar and space physics. Specifically, NASA and NSF requested that the NRC provide recommendations on the state of solar and space physics science, the most compelling science challenges for the field, the highest-priority scientific activities for the 2013-2022 decade, and the preparation of an integrated strategy for implementing the identified scientific activities.
Rep. Donna Edwards, (D-MD) emphasized the importance of the research for addressing space weather threats to the nation's critical infrastructure, including ground- and space-based technological systems. "Because solar events …can have marked impacts on ground- and space-based technological systems and services, such as GPS-related services, communications, aviation, the electric power grid, and pipelines—the Nation's basic research programs have a direct bearing on protecting our nation's critical infrastructure."
Witnesses were questioned on whether improvements are needed in outreach to the public regarding the link between solar and space physics research and its applications for society, as well as on the state of our capability to accurately predict space weather and how the implementation of decadal survey recommendation can contribute to improving space weather prediction. Rep. Edwards also highlighted the importance of sustaining the research during a period of ongoing budgetary stress. "I would be remiss if I did not mention the budgetary challenges for this research, which has such significant implications for our society. We need to protect these R&D investments. Our assets, our quality of life, and our economic strength as a nation depend on this research," said Rep. Edwards.

US military personnel who had leave time were planning to pay their way back home to Nebraska before concerned people in their native state decided to play Santa Claus. Spc. Heather Davey had put $587 on her credit card to get back home before learning she had a free ride due to the generosity of her fellow Nebraskans. She and 40 other members of the 110 Medical Battalion training in the state of Washington were the recipients of money raised within 24 hours by the Nebraska business community. Democrat senator Ben Nelson heard about the plight of his constituents and immediately contacted nebraska business leaders to take on the task of getting the military personnel back home.
Every once and a while, this writer wonders about the attitude of American leaders toward issues faced by those called to serve the nation. President Bush is always ready to condemn and deride opponents for ignoring the needs of the military, but he rarely does anything than speak and speak about his own patriotism. Has Bush ever once lifted his hand to do something about those in serve in order to make their lives easier? He opposed the proposed Democratic Congress raises for the military on grounds it constituted an excessive expenditure. Funny, he never hesitates giving Christmas gift tax cuts to the wealthy of America.

Georgia Gov. Nathan Deal (R) "has often called on Congress to reconsider the Affordable Care Act. But on Monday evening, he pushed his former Washington colleagues to revisit a separate health care law that fewer politicians openly critique," the Newnan Times Herald reports.
"The Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act is a 1986 law that requires hospitals to provide emergency health care treatment to anyone who needs it, regardless of citizenship or their ability to pay. It's provided life-saving care to countless people, but it's also strained hospital resources and turned emergency rooms into the first stop, instead of a last resort, for some."
Said Deal: "If they really want to get serious about lowering the cost of health care in this country, they would revisit another federal statute that has been there for a long time. It came as a result of bad facts, and we have a saying that bad facts make bad law."Save to Favorites

Enterprising Science is a five-year partnership (2013-2017) across the Science Museum Group and King's College London, supported by BP. This research and development project uses the concept of science capital (science-related qualifications, interest, literacy and social contacts) to understand how young people from all backgrounds engage with science and how their engagement might be supported.
Research shows that the more science capital a young person has, the more likely they are to study science post-16 and to see science as 'for me'. Yet national survey data shows that 27% of all 11 to 17 year olds have low science capital, particularly those from disadvantaged schools and communities. This limits their opportunities and outcomes in life, and contributes to the shortfall in young people in the UK choosing STEM subjects.
Science capital can help us to understand what influences and shapes people's attitudes towards science (whether they see science as for them or not). Read more about the key ideas of science in the Science Capital Made Clear guide
Enterprising Science aims to engage more young people with science by:
Enterprising Science is a partnership of academics and practitioners working together to support schools and other professionals in engaging more young people with science. Our approach aims to highlight the relevance of science to young people's futures and find ways to connect school science with students' diverse identities and lives. It involves collaboration between schools, young people and their families, and museums and science centres.
The Science Museum Group is providing practitioner-based expertise about outside classroom, museum and science centre learning. We are exploring ways to develop and adapt a science capital approach for the informal science learning (ISL) sector through developing new tools and approaches to engage all of our audiences with science. This will help us to reach out to new and diverse audiences.

New vanities in the main bath & master bath are classy and functional and the owners have provided an ample supply of bathing towels. Three fresh bedrooms offer a set of twins, one Queen bed and one full bed. All decorated to soothe and relax.
The finished walk out basement makes a perfect in-law suite! It provides extra guests with a full bathroom and kitchenette. The use of natural materials continues, offering rattan seating as well as a full size futon for a comfortable nights sleep. The room also functions as a game room with an ice hockey table, board games and TV.

walk to the beach , in-law suite with private full bath and kitchenette as well as a huge living room with full size futon and TV. Walk out to patio, deck& outdoor shower ! Lots of parking , washer & dryer decorated by interior designer .
Walk to beach ,In-law Suite ,outdoor shower and lots of parking.
We love the house and the location. Surprised just how fully stocked the kitchen is. Made some great meals indoors and on the grill. Feels like home.
Would recommend it to others. Would love to make this a yearly event , a great way to have the whole family together. Thank you so much for sharing your home and welcoming our dog as well!
Our family gathered at Todd & Monica's place for 3 weeks this past summer (2016) and the house was great. The location is a good balance between closeness to 1st, 2nd and 3rd beaches, ease of getting downtown, and the quiet of a residential neighborhood. The house was immaculate on our arrival. Although the kitchen is compact, there is probably no utensil or cookware that any chef would want that wasn't there. In general, the house was incredibly well equipped. Plenty of towels. Not only were there a variety of beach toys, chairs, wagons, etc. waiting for us in the garage, but also lawn games. When I had a few questions about where to find or how to operate something, Todd or Monica got back to me almost instantly and solved my problem. With 2 seniors and 2 pre-schoolers, we always drove the 3 minutes to the beach. Really is lots of parking, but back yard sitting area too. Outdoor shower a big plus. The deck off the kitchen was a favorite spot for meals under the umbrella. "In law suite" on lower level is spacious, with TV, full bath, microwave, even an air-hockey table which got extensive use. My only hesitation about giving this good a review is that it might make it harder for us to book this house again next summer.
The house is very clean well-organized in equipped with good beach going gear. This is our second time coming and we love the location and excess ability to build beaches in the shops .
From the moment you arrive, this comfortable, clean home welcomes you. Tastefully appointed offering every convenience imaginable. Just bring your suitcase and enjoy!
Can't wait to return!
Todd and Monica were perfect hosts and truly cared about making sure the house was meeting our needs during our stay.
Gorgeous house in a great area, we could not have asked for more. We had a great family vacation spent at the beaches, local restaurants and downtown Newport. House is very clean and very well maintained. Thanks Todd and Monica, we'll be renting it again next summer!
The house was gorgeous, spacious (there was 4 couples in our group) and had everything we needed for a wonderful stay! A short walk to Easton's beach and a quick bike ride to downtown Newport, great, quiet neighborhood. Monica was responsive and easy to access throughout the process. Highly recommend this property for a lovely stay in gorgeous Newport!
Located in a quiet neighborhood setting. Perfect retreat after a long day of beach combing and sight seeing. Ideal location for walking and bike riding. This is the place everyone, even locals, want to be!

Petra Marquardt-Bigman
Petra Marquardt-Bigman is a German/Israeli citizen with a PhD in contemporary history
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Obama's switch to a 'land now, peace later' approach is potentially appealing to both Netanyahu and Palestinians
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Camp David 10 years on: The blueprint developed at the failed 2000 Middle East summit has not been used. Is Palestinian ambivalence the reason?
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Israeli PM Binyamin Netanyahu is presently seen as the chief obstacle to Middle East peace, but what of the Arab League?
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Mahmoud Abbas says an Israel-Palestine deal could be reached in six months. But too many issues remain under the carpet
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Israel's foreign minister is not the only one who doubts that comprehensive peace can be achieved any time soon
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: The Annapolis peace talks may have failed, but Barack Obama must try to maintain the positive momentum that now exists
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Obama in Cairo: Even hawkish Israelis could agree that Obama's Cairo address to the Muslim world offered a 'vision of a better world'
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Though there is speculation of a clash with Netanyahu, Obama's good-faith gestures could mark a turning point with Israel
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: The Israeli Labour party is facing a dilemma over whether it should participate in a Netanyahu government
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Obstructionists from both ends of the political spectrum are the real winners in the Israeli elections
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Gaza changed little for Israeli voters, it's their disappointment with the centrist Kadima that could bring back Netanyahu
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: An American thinktank suggests achieving peace in the Middle East will be a gradual, evolutionary process
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Politicians on both sides are expressing new hopes for peace – but few plans for how to achieve it
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: After winning the Kadima primaries this week, Tzipi Livni is tipped to push her peace agenda further
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Statements from both sides counter the general lack of optimism about the current Israeli-Palestinian negotiations
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Calls for a single state solution are unnecessary: there's now a fair and sensible two-state proposal on the table
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: As Kadima looks among the doves and hawks for a new leader, one issue still trumps all others: Iran
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: One issue that looms large in the Israel-Palestine conflict is the question of popular support for any agreement – and the polls prove to be revealing
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: An ambitious water project could help to bring reconciliation between Syria and Israel
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Despite media misgivings, Israel's foreign minister seems set as the popular choice to succeed Ehud Olmert. But will she stand?
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Israel is often portrayed as the dagger in the heart of the Arab world. But some Palestinians see its potential as a link to the rest of the world
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Let us hope that reports of secret talks between the US and Iran are true - a modicum of good news for a region living in deadly nuclear peril
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Defying media scepticism, the US secretary of state's plans for peace in the Middle East seem to be gathering momentum
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: With Arab leaders prepared to accept a deal based on 'land for peace' and Israel engaged, there are grounds for optimism in the Middle East
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: While Islamist militants are increasingly criticised in the Middle East, it seems they can count on a hard core of western admirers who blindly applaud them
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Just as extremists in real life have often succeeded in sabotaging peace efforts, cyber extremists succeed in closing down debates
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: As Ehud Olmert visits Berlin this week, he may be asking some difficult questions about Germany's role in facilitating Iran's nuclear ambitions
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Is there any hope for peace in the Middle East? Reports from realists on the subject are far from encouraging
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Calls from the left for a 'one-state solution' to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict echo similar views on the far right
Petra Marquardt-Bigman: Ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may seem a distant goal, but the aspirations on both sides have become more realistic


text: Ok is it just my TBSS, (06 AWD about 20k on the clock, bone stock accept for the resonator delete) or do these things go through batteries like my son's RC car? I had the battery replaced under warranty about six months after I got it, and now six months later the battery is bad again! There are no signs the battery is going bad, just all of a sudden the truck won't start, this has stranded me three times in the last year! I had a 72 Plymouth that was this bad, but nothing since then! And I don't really expect or appreciate this "walk for fitness feature" on a new, near $40K vehicle! Anybody else had issues like this? Thanks.

Have Finance Questions? Ask a Financial Expert Online.
Welcome to Just Answer. I am here to help you resolve your tax and finance concerns. Please feel free to ask anytime you need extra help.
First we need to get the concept of creditor/debtor straight so we are speaking the same language and avoid confusion and misunderstanding.
A creditor is any party to whom money is owed. A debtor is the party owing the money. Thus, for example, if you borrow money from a bank to purchase an automobile the bank is the creditor and you are the debtor.
Form 1099C is issued by a creditor to a debtor when an obligation of the debtor to the creditor is canceled or forgiven. With certain exclusions being permitted by law, the debtor must reflect the cancellation of debt on his/her tax return. This is done on Federal form 1040, line 21 (of the debtor)and not on the debtor's Schedule C. The creditor does not recognize an income from this but does recognize a business loss to the extent of the amount of the obligation which is forgiven. Here is a bit of information on this from the IRS. You can read more about this at the IRS web site www.irs since there are specific rules pertaining to home mortgage forgiveness, business debt forgiveness and other forgiven debts.
Topic 431 - Canceled Debt - Is it Taxable or Not?
In general, if you are liable for a debt that is canceled, forgiven, or discharged, you must include the canceled amount in gross income unless you meet an exclusion or exception. However, canceled or forgiven debt is not considered income if it is intended as a gift or bequest.
A debt includes any indebtedness for which you are personally liable or for which you are liable only to the extent of the property securing the debt. Cancellation of all or part of a debt that is secured by property may occur because of a foreclosure, a repossession, a voluntary return of the property to the lender, abandonment of the property, or a principal residence loan modification. You must report any taxable amount of a debt that is canceled, as ordinary income from the cancellation of debt, on Form 1040 or Form 1040NR and associated sub-schedules, as advised in IRS Publication 4681, Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions, and Abandonments (for Individuals).
Caution: If your debt is secured by property and that property is taken by the lender in full or partial satisfaction of your debt, you will be treated as having sold that property and may have a reportable gain or loss. The gain or loss on such a deemed sale of your property is a separate issue from whether any canceled debt also associated with that same property is includable in gross income. See IRS Publication 544, Sales and Other Dispositions of Assets, for detailed information on reporting gain or loss from repossession, foreclosure or abandonment of property.
If a federal government agency or an applicable financial entity cancels or forgives a debt you owe of $600 or more, you should receive a Form 1099-C (PDF), Cancellation of Debt, showing amounts and other information relating to the cancellation. The amount of canceled debt is shown in Box 2 of the form. Taxpayers may also receive a Form 1099-A (PDF), Acquisition or Abandonment of Secured Property.
Canceled Debts that meet the requirements for any of the following exceptions or exclusions are not taxable.
Canceled Debt that Qualifies for Exception to Inclusion in Gross Income:
Canceled Debt that Qualifies for Exclusion from Gross Income:
The exclusion for "qualified principal residence indebtedness," provides canceled debt tax relief for many American home owners involved in the mortgage foreclosure crisis currently affecting much of the country. The exclusion allows taxpayers to exclude up to $2,000,000 ($1,000,000 if married filing separately) of "qualified principal residence indebtedness".
Generally, if you exclude canceled debt from income under one of the exclusions listed above, you must also reduce your tax attributes (certain credits, losses, and basis of assets) by the amount excluded. You must file Form 982 (PDF), Reduction of Tax Attributes Due to Discharge of Indebtedness (and Section 1082 Basis Adjustment), to report the exclusion and the corresponding reduction of certain tax attributes.
Refer to Publication 4681, Canceled Debts, Foreclosures, Repossessions, and Abandonments (for Individuals), for more detailed information regarding taxability of canceled debt, how to report it, and related exceptions and exclusions. Additional information can also be found in Publication 525, Taxable and Nontaxable Income.
The principal (and any interest that was previously reported as income but not received) is a bad debt. If this was a loan to/for business purposes it is a business bad debt. Otherwise it is a personal bad debt. Business bad debts can only be deducted on Schedule C if this is the nature of your business (making loans). Otherwise, both bad debt types must be claimed as itemized deductions.
Interest received on the loan would have been required to be reported on Schedule B (again, unless this is you business). Yes, you can issue a 1099C but unless your business is a financial institution the issuance is not required.
Here is a piece from the IRS on bad debts and their treatment. It will guide you in gathering the records to support the proper treatment of the bad debt.
Topic 453 - Bad Debt Deduction
If someone owes you money that you cannot collect, you may have a bad debt. For a discussion of what constitutes a valid debt, refer to Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses, and Publication 535, Business Expense. To deduct a bad debt, you must have previously included the amount in your income or loaned out your cash. If you are a cash basis taxpayer, you may not take a bad debt deduction for money you expected to receive but did not (for example, for money owed to you for services performed, or rent) because that amount was never included in your income. For a bad debt, you must show that there was an intention at the time of the transaction to make a loan and not a gift. If you lend money to a relative or friend with the understanding that it may not be repaid, it is considered a gift and not a loan.
There are two kinds of bad debts - business and nonbusiness.
Generally, a business bad debt is one that comes from operating your trade or business.
The following are examples of business bad debts (if previously included in income):
A business deducts its bad debts from gross income when figuring its taxable income. Business bad debts may be deducted in part or in full. You can claim a business bad debt using either the specific charge-off method or the nonaccrual-experience method.
All other bad debts are nonbusiness. Nonbusiness bad debts must be totally worthless to be deductible. You cannot deduct a partially worthless nonbusiness bad debt.
A debt becomes worthless when the surrounding facts and circumstances indicate there is no reasonable expectation of payment. To show that a debt is worthless, you must establish that you have taken reasonable steps to collect the debt. It is not necessary to go to court if you can show that a judgment from the court would be uncollectible. You may take the deduction only in the year the debt becomes worthless. You do not have to wait until a debt is due to determine whether it is worthless.
A nonbusiness bad debt is reported as a short-term capital loss in Part 1 on Form 1040, Schedule D (PDF). It is subject to the capital loss limitations. A nonbusiness bad debt deduction requires a separate detailed statement attached to your return.
For more information on nonbusiness bad debts, refer to Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses. For more information on business bad debts, refer to Publication 535, Business Expenses.

FDA Study: Efficacy & Safety
Why Your Dysphagia Patients Need VitalStim
VitalStim® Therapy is a neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) technology. It is the only NMES cleared by the FDA to restore swallowing function to patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia. It is a non-invasive way to re-educate the throat muscles needed for swallowing.
In clinical and real-world settings, VitalStim Therapy has been proven safe and effective. It has successfully treated patients of every age and etiology, even those whose dysphagia has advanced beyond the six-month period of spontaneous recovery.
Physician referral is required. Upon referral, our clinicians will perform a medical evaluation. In appropriate patients, a certified VitalStim Therapy professional will provide therapy. Therapists must be certified after a 2-day training seminar and have 3 years experience treating dysphagia patients.
Therapists deliver VitalStim Therapy using uniquely designed external skin electrodes. They place the electrodes on specific neck muscles in a fully validated pattern. The electrical current emitted by the VitalStim device stimulates inactive or atrophied swallowing muscles as the therapist administers rehabilitation therapy to help re-educate the muscles. For example, patients practice eating and perform exercises under the direction of the therapist.
Therapy sessions last 60 minutes and are repeated daily (or almost every day) until the patient's swallowing patterns are restored to the optimum level. Patients frequently see dramatic improvement in six to 20 daily sessions – sometimes in as little as three days.
VitalStim Therapy's clearance by the FDA (in December 2002) was based on a long-term study of nearly 900 patients, both inpatient and outpatient, which included direct comparison of electrical stimulation using VitalStim Therapy with thermal stimulation, a common approach to treating dysphagia. Based on this study, electrical stimulation proved to be significantly more effective in restoring swallowing function. Measurable improvement was noted in over 98% of patients studied, compared with less than 33% of the patients receiving thermal stimulation.

Mumbai, Feb 13: Former India coach Anshuman Gaekwad feels selectors must pick Wasim Jaffer irrespective of his age, as he has been the most consistent player in the last few years.
Selector picked youngsters Murali Vijay, Shikhar Dhawan and Ajinkya Rahane for the first two Tests against Australia on Sunday ignoring the most consistent batsman, Wasim Jaffer who has scored 1016 runs this season.
Talking about the same, Anshuman Gaekwad the former opening batsman for India said that batsmen mature late, and it is always wise to pick Jaffer even if he is 35, since he is fit and performing well.
"Look, even Sunil Gavaskar will agree that batsmen mature late. I don't see age as a problem as long as Jaffer is fit and to me, he doesn't look unfit. And as I said before, what great options do we have," Gaekwad told Mid-day.
Gaekwad, having trained Team India for a couple of years feels India need an opener like Wasim Jaffer irrespective of his age since he has been piling runs consistently and does not get out after getting the starts.
Though Jaffer represented India in 31 Tests and 2 ODIs and averaged around 34, the Mumbaikar's average in first class cricket especially after he was dropped from the national side, shows that he can play for India for a few more years.
Jaffer having played his last Test match against South Africa at Kanpur in 2008, has been very consistent in the domestic circuit. The prolific opener has added 1549, 801, 940, 406, 1016 runs in the domestic seasons after being dropped from the national side.
With 1016 runs this season including a 80 and 100 in the last game, Wasim Jaffer has proved yet again that he has been consistently scoring runs.
Since India needs someone like Wasim Jaffer, Gaekwad also stressed on the age factor as Virender Sehwag who is preferred over others is also 34 years old and moreover has not been in great form in the last few months.

|Jeff Bridges in 'Crazy Heart' wins Oscar for best male actor
Los Angeles,CA (rushPRnews) 03/07/10 — Jeff Bridges won a best actor Oscar on Sunday, his first ever Academy Award, for his role in "Crazy Heart" as a drunken country singer who finds redemption.
Bridges, the brother of Beau Bridges and the son of screen star Lloyd Bridges, was previously nominated for an Oscar four times but had never walked away with the award.
"Thank you Mom and Dad for turning me on to such a groovy profession," Bridges said after whooping in joy, pumping his golden statuette in the air.
Bridges told the Kodak Theater audience how his father had taught him the basics of acting, while his mother egged him on to entertain guests at parties.
"They loved showbiz so much, I feel an extension of them. This is honoring them as much as it is me."
Bridges is known for his naturalistic style and for often playing rambling and unpredictable characters, and he has long been considered an underappreciated actor.
In "Crazy Heart," Bridges played country singer Bad Blake, who is a heavy drinker and has been relegated to playing in small bars and even a bowling alley.
He wrestles to gain control of his life after falling for a journalist and single mother, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal.
Bridges, 60, did his own singing for the role, putting his lesser known musical abilities front and center to give voice to the fictional, down-on-his-luck country star.
He was widely seen as the front-runner this year for the best actor Oscar, with several critics saying Bridges elevated an otherwise dull movie through his performance.
The other actors nominated for an Oscar were George Clooney for "Up in the Air," Colin Firth for "A Single Man," Morgan Freeman for "Invictus" and Jeremy Renner for "The Hurt Locker."
Bridges grew up in an acting family and got his first role early in life, making a screen appearance as an infant in the 1951 movie "The Company She Keeps."
He also appeared in a couple of episodes of his father's 1950s television series "Sea Hunt," but his first breakthrough role came in 1971 ensemble film "The Last Picture Show."
The turn as a high school student earned Bridges his first Oscar nomination, this one in the best supporting actor category.
He earned another supporting actor nod for his role as a bank robber in the 1974 movie "Thunderbolt and Lightfoot," playing opposite Clint Eastwood.
After that, some in Hollywood expected Bridges to rise to superstar status, but his career took a more low-key trajectory as he became known for a seemingly effortless acting style, not for blockbuster roles.
He gained a huge cult following for playing even-keeled stoner The Dude in 1998 comedy movie "The Big Lebowski."
Bridges this year won both the Screen Actors Guild award and the Golden Globe for his role in "Crazy Heart."
