<< Previous | Index | Next >>"WHY I BELIEVE" In The Resurrection Of Jesus INTRODUCTION 1. I previously discussed why I believe in the virgin birth of Jesus... a. How Jesus was born of the virgin Mary b. Without a human father 2. Another essential element of the Christian's faith is the resurrection of Jesus... a. That Jesus bodily arose from the dead b. Three days after His crucifixion 3. Why is faith in Jesus' resurrection essential? If Jesus did not rise from the dead... a. Our faith is empty, futile - 1Co 15:14,17 b. We are still in our sins - 1Co 15:17 c. Those who died in Christ have perished - 1Co 15:18 d. We are of all men the most pitiable - 1Co 15:19 [Why do I believe in the resurrection of Jesus? Because of eyewitness testimony that I believe is more rational to accept than to reject! First, there is...] I. THE NUMBER OF THE WITNESSES A. WHY NUMBER IS IMPORTANT... 1. The strength or weakness of any testimony is affected by the number of witnesses 2. E.g., the Law of Moses required at least two or three witnesses - Deut 17:6 3. Today, the number of witnesses also plays a crucial role in our justice system -- The more witnesses you have, the stronger your evidence! B. THERE WERE MANY WITNESSES OF THE RESURRECTION... 1. Paul lists many of these witness in 1Co 15:3-8 a. Jesus was seen by Cephas (Simon Peter) - cf. Lk 24:34 b. Jesus was seen by the twelve (apostles) - cf. Lk 24:36-43; Ac 1:2-3 c. He was seen by five hundred people at one time (probably in Galilee) - cf. Mt 28:10,16-17 d. He was seen by James, the Lord's brother e. He was seen by Paul, on the road to Damascus - Ac 22:6-10 2. Other appearances are recorded in the Scriptures a. To Mary Magdalene - Mk 16:9; Jn 20:14 b. To other women returning from the tomb - Mt 28:9,10 c. To two disciples on the road to Emmaus - Lk 24:13-33 d. To the apostles, Thomas absent - Jn 20:19-24 e. To the apostles, Thomas present - Jn 20:26-29 f. To seven disciples by the Lake of Tiberias (Sea of Galilee) - Jn 21:1-23 g. To the apostles at the ascension - Ac 1:3-12 -- Over a period of forty days, over 500 people saw Jesus after His death! [Such witnesses had ample opportunity to determine for themselves if He was really raised from the dead. How do we know they were not simply gullible, believing what they wanted to believe? This leads us to consider another factor important to accepting the testimony of witnesses...] II. THE CHARACTER OF THE WITNESSES A. SOME HAD NOT BELIEVED IN JESUS... 1. Like His brothers in the flesh - Jn 7:3-5 2. They even thought Him crazy - Mk 3:21 -- But seeing Him after His resurrection, they became His disciples! - Ac 1:14 B. SOME WERE SKEPTICAL AFTER JESUS' DEATH... 1. Thomas would not accept the words of others - Jn 20:24-25 2. Not until he had empirical evidence would he believe - Jn 20:26-28 -- This demonstrates witnesses who were not gullible or easily deceived C. ONE WAS EVEN A FORMER ENEMY... 1. Saul of Tarsus, who later became known as Paul the apostle - Ac 9:1-2 2. Until he saw Jesus raised from the dead, he believed it to be God's will to oppose Jesus and His followers - cf. Ac 26:9-11 -- The conversion of Saul of Tarsus is powerful evidence of the resurrection! [These witnesses required overwhelming evidence to convince them that Jesus truly rose from the dead. This leads us now to consider...] III. THE STRENGTH OF THEIR WITNESS A. DEMONSTRATED BY THEIR EMPIRICAL TESTIMONY... 1. Their testimony appealed to empirical evidence a. I.e., evidence derived from experiment and observation rather than theory b. For forty days they were given infallible proofs - Ac 1:3 c. They ate and drank with Jesus - Ac 10:41 d. They saw, heard, and touched Him - Jn 20:24-28; 1Jn 1:1-2 2. They could not have been deceived or deluded a. If all they had were individual dreams, visions, or hallucinations...perhaps b. But they testified that Jesus appeared to them in groups as well as to individuals -- The nature of their testimony strengthens their witness B. DEMONSTRATED BY THEIR TRANSFORMATION... 1. Prior to the resurrection, Jesus' disciples were afraid and without hope a. They fled at his arrest - Mk 14:50 b. Peter cowardly denied Him three times - Mk 14:66-72 c. The women mourned His crucifixion - Lk 23:27 d. After His death, the disciples were sad - Lk 24:13-17 e. After His death, the disciples hid behind closed doors, for fear of the Jews - Jn 20:19 2. But after the resurrection, they fearlessly praised God and proclaimed Jesus! a. Praising God in the temple - Lk 24:52-53 b. Proclaiming Christ, despite persecution - Ac 5:28-32,41-42 3. This transformation in their lives is strong evidence for the resurrection, as admitted by one Orthodox Jewish scholar: a. "If the disciples were totally disappointed and on the verge of desperate flight because of the very real reason of the crucifixion, it took another very real reason in order to transform them from a band of disheartened and dejected Jews into the most self-confident missionary society in world history." - Pinchas Lapide, former Chairman of the Applied Linguistics Department at Israel's Bar-Iland University (TIME, May 7, 1979) b. He concluded that a bodily resurrection could possibly have been that reason! -- Their remarkable transformation strengthens their witness C. DEMONSTRATED BY THEIR MORAL STANDARDS... 1. They taught others to live holy lives - 1Th 4:1-7; Ep 4:25 2. They lived their own lives in an unimpeachable way - 1 Th 2:3-12 -- Does this sound like people who propagate lies when they know better? D. DEMONSTRATED BY THEIR SACRIFICES... 1. The apostles endured much suffering because of their testimony - 1Co 4:9-13 2. All but one died a martyr's death because of their testimony 3. Even Jesus' brother, James, was thrown off the temple and then clubbed to death for his testimony -- There was no motive for them to persistently lie about Jesus' resurrection! CONCLUSION 1. The nature of their witness does not allow for the option of being deceived or deluded... a. Again, they professed empirical evidence b. They claimed to eat and drink with Him, touch Him, see Him 2. If Jesus was not raised from the dead, there is only one alternative... a. These witnesses were liars, deceivers b. Even Paul freely admits this is the only alternative - 1Co 15: 14-15 3. Is it reasonable to believe they purposefully propagated a lie...? a. Too many people attested to the same fact b. They were not the kind of people to fabricate such a falsehood c. They lived noble lives, and were all willing to suffer and die for their testimony! When we carefully examine the lives and testimony of such witnesses, the only reasonable conclusion to draw is that they really saw what they claimed: Jesus is risen...!<< Previous | Index | Next >>

Well..... I have had epilpesy since, I was 13 months old. As years have gone by my fits have changed and now I get AURA'S Which are woring signs.. They only times I get tridgees is when I am OVER WORKED, ANGRY, MISSED A DOSE, LAKE OF SLEEP AND HEAT... What are the best selosions to this do you know?
Re: HOW DO YOU GET YOUR TRIGERES AND HOW TO STOP THEM
Ok- first you have seizures not fits. Auruas are good in your case. Heres what I have learned in many couceling sessions, etc and readings. STOP the aura before it turns into a seizure. I have epilepsy 23 years, my entire life.
1) Try and keep yourself away from the triggers of the seizures (yes easier said then done) -go to bed earlier, dont overwork yourself...set a limit, for me music is calming and being upset/angry can be a trigger so If I know I am going into a stressful enviorment stressful in anyway that will trigger an emotion I will put my music (I POD if I am out in public...its dying though I think I need to replace it) A cd at home, etc, radio. Missing a dose- well it depends on the medication and how far away you are from the next that you realize you miss your dose. But I have mine in a type of blister pack where I can rip off the dose if I am leaving the house and always care spares of each dose (labbeled) in my purse) For Heat-hold or wipe yourself down when apropiate with a wet washcloth, etc.
2) As for the seizure itself if you know that something may cause a seizure stop what ever it is before your seizure. I will use myself for an example-just the wrong a,ount of light will trigger a seizure-so I will turn another light on. Also in my seizures I turn my head to the right. I try and keep it turned to the left or as straight as possible.
Re: HOW DO YOU GET YOUR TRIGERES AND HOW TO STOP THEM
Look at your triggers. One common denominator: stress. Sleep deprivation, overwork (tired) angry (stress) missed a dose (physical stress on the brain) Heat (physical stress upon the body) Keep plenty of cold water with you. Most of us are already dehydrated when we first begin to think about water. We experience a lot less heat when properly hydrated.
A majority of my seizures occur at the health club. (I love the feeling of the endorphins, runner's high.) I've found myself on the floor too many times. I can't even do aerobics without someone with me!
You might find the article on this website re: enjoying the holidays and reducing stress to be helpful. There are many books and classes specifically geard to stress reduction. I find myself getting tired when I'm on the computer, another major place for my seizures.
Of course, none of us want to go to bed early, but it's worth the cost of seizures instead.
Instead of being angry, find some humor and relax. Enjoy little things. Join an epilepsy support group in your area.
Re: HOW DO YOU GET YOUR TRIGERES AND HOW TO STOP THEM
Find the top epileptologist in your area and make an appointment with her. Write down all questions; bring them to each appointment. Show the questions. This saves time and confusion. (My epileptoligist reads my questions and writes the answers so I don't forget.) Make sure to keep an honest, open relationship....no lying about seizures, accidentally missing a dose, etc. Keep your doctor aware of any side effects (good or bad) from all AEDs. Your doctor can't help you if she doesn't know all the facts.
Take all AEDs, exactly as prescribed...the exact dose and time. Bring a list of all your current AEDs, other Rx and over-the-counter pills, vitamins and suppliments with you. Make sure to list the dose level, quantity and whether or not you are taking generics. Bring the name(s), addresses, phone #'s of all other doctors treating you. Ask if there should be any changes made. Find out if there are any foods or suppliments you should/shouldn't take with your AEDs. (This can change with each Rx. Make sure to keep that updated with each visit and Rx changes.) After each visit, update your Rx list with the appointment date on it.
Find a pharmacy you trust and stay with it. Keep all Rxs, for all medical conditions filled at the same location. Your pharmacist will be able to alert you to possible interactions, etc. (Once I brought a handwritten prescription to my pharmacy. My pharmacist told me that he couldn't fill it for me because I was allergic to that drug!)
Ask if you can take an extra "xxxx" when you are feeling ill, tired, etc. Stay in bed when you're sick. Work on stress reduction. It really helps! My seizures aren't completely controlled, but they're a lot better than they were.
I have drop attacks. The seizures are the same, but I don't sense auras any more. I'll feel perfectly fine, then wake up on the floor. If I'm sitting down, the seizure is the same as any other seizure. When I'm standing, I fall like a 'hot potato'. I fought it, but finally gave in to wearing a helmet. I found a patriotic and "cool" one. Now I get compliments from strangers all the time! I also work-out a lot, to keep myself atheletic, so I look like I should need a helmet. Exercise helps reduce stress and seizure control. Print this out and ask your epileptologist if any changes need to be made to it. Good luck and have a Merry Christmas!

The damage to
Newcrest must also pay a further undisclosed sum to cover the corporate regulator's legal costs. But the reputational damage from being the first company in Australia to cop a seven-figure fine over disclosure is what will scar in the long term.
The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) is often criticised for launching investigations into disclosure breaches which go nowhere. Its High Court disclosure case against Fortescue Metals Group failed spectacularly in 2012.
But the Newcrest settlement proposed in the Federal Court will be seen as a much-needed victory for the regulator, particularly given the miner will cover its legal costs. It is being closely watched by investor relations executives and the analyst community which is not immune from ASIC's ongoing investigations into the issue. There have been 27 "concluded" actions for continuous disclosure breaches since 2003 but only two of those resulted in civil penalties with the majority resulting in infringement notices, which is a weaker enforcement tool than a court ruling. The largest penalties awarded in the past are a fraction of what Newcrest will pay. The biggest to date was against animal drug producer Chemeq, which was fined $500,000 in 2006 for breaching continuous disclosure, while Leighton Holdings incurred a penalty of $300,000 in 2012. Southcorp, Promina, Rio Tinto and Commonwealth Bank have also incurred fines of $100,000. But these look like chicken feed considering there are 2200 listed companies and the practice of selectively briefing analysts has been rife for years.
The Newcrest settlement sends a long-overdue message to corporations they are walking a fine line when they seek to massage analyst forecasts. This is often conducted, particularly in the mining sector, through a whisper, a wink or a nudge.
The settlement documents released by Newcrest on Wednesday reveal this was done more blatantly than usual in this case. They allegedly revealed details of how investor relations staff herded analysts to change their guidance in relation to gold production when the information had not yet been disclosed to the market.
Miner wants to put issue to bed
Newcrest admitted the contraventions as part of the settlement, no doubt to avoid lengthy court proceedings at a time when it wants to put the issue to bed with new management coming on board. Chairman
Despite the severity of the penalties, no one has lost their scalp at Newcrest. Three of the four Newcrest executives named in the settlement documents remain at the company.
Former chief executive
Whether or not Newcrest Mining has become the whipping boy for a practice that has been rampant in corporate Australia for years does not matter. Its alleged breaches were so blatant that it became an easy target for ASIC and is now paying the price.
The case does raise myriad issues around the way companies keep the market informed. It is a murky world with grey areas.
The Newcrest settlement will force companies to err on the side of caution, which could make life difficult in sectors like mining when shifts in commodity prices mean companies will either be forced to continuously issue guidance or not saying anything at all. This could result in no news at all until a sudden earnings downgrade or upgrade is dumped on the market.
Engaging with analysts and fund managers is also an important tool to ensure they have correctly interpreted the information being released to the market.
Age has not dulled
Lew only needs around 15 per cent of David Jones to potentially block the deal but this is based on the assumption that up to 40 per cent of shareholders will not vote on the scheme of the arrangement. David Jones and Woolworths may have to have to embark on an aggressive proxy solicitation program to ensure they get the deal across the line if that happens. The theory is Lew is unlikely to mount a rival takeover offer but will use the stake as leverage to force a deal with Woolworths over their joint shareholding in Country Road or protect his interests as a major supplier to David Jones. Lew owns an 11.8 per cent stake in Country Road, with Woolworths in control of the rest.
If that is the case, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission should be looking into trading in Country Road shares since March. After trading under $4 per share for a decade the stock hit more than $9 in February this year and rose to $14.80 in the weeks before the Woolworths bid for David Jones became public knowledge. Country Road stock was trading at $13.40 on Wednesday.
Whatever the outcome, Lew is shaping up as a major headache for Woolworths which had a clear run on David Jones until he popped up the register several weeks ago.
The use of a complex system of derivative swap agreements to creep up a register without having to disclose your interest to the market is not new and is perfectly legal. But if Lew uses them to block the Woolworths deal it will revive calls to review this practice, one that fund managers and proxy advisers are not happy about.

Why should you compare wetlands to fans?
The MedWet cartoon
Created at the occasion of the Ramsar COP 12 in Uruguay, the cartoon is ready to be downloaded and shown in each country by any partner willing to show the services that Mediterranean wetlands are providing.
MedWet, with the help of the Mediterranean Wetlands Observatory, produced a three minutes cartoon depicting the priceless services that healthy wetlands can provide despite they are facing many challenges in the Mediterranean region.
Wetlands are one of the planet's greatest and most misunderstood natural resources. Not simply a resource for fresh water, they function as the earth's regulation system: like a buoy, wetlands protect the land and coasts from the impacts of extreme weather; like a fan, they keep the climate from fluctuating; and, like a sponge, they filter water and store it so that all forms of life can thrive. But today's consumptive and resource-dependent lifestyles are threatening these priceless services. MedWet developed this cartoon in order to convey the importance of Mediterranean wetlands' vital services.

Hugo's Frog Bar & Fish House Restaurant Review: This suburban outpost boasts a virtual clone menu and an atmosphere reminiscent of always-busy Hugo's in downtown Chicago. A bevy of fresh seafood --- grilled mahi mahi, pan-roasted Chilean sea bass and roasted herb-crusted Lake Superior whitefish --- are posh enough options, but the football-size lobster tail with drawn butter is the hook. However, seafood isn't all that's available; sandwiches, sliders, steak and massive à la carte sides can make a satisfying meal. Desserts are portioned to serve at least four, so a twosome will pony up an awful lot for carrot cake and muddy bottom pie that they will never finish. Also located at 1024 N.

Mike Adams (Grad Cert '85)
Originally from Seattle, Washington, Mike started his career as an aircraft radio technician. In 1984 he received a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering (BSEE) from Washington State University. He has worked as a broadcast engineer since 1987 with experience in SW transmitters, antennas, studios and Mike's favorite – AM radio remote broadcasts.
How It All Started
In 2003 he received Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) certification as a Professional Broadcast Engineer for 20 years experience in radio.
Mike began working as a consultant with Health Communications Resources (HCR) after the 2004 Asian tsunami where they worked together with a local partner to put an Emergency FM radio station on the air in Indonesia. After seeing the value of radio after a disaster, he has worked to develop the Rapid Response Radio Unit (RRRU) that can be deployed anywhere in the world within 72 hours of a disaster.
First Response Radio
The network of participating stations is called FIRST Response and Mike has been serving as the INTL coordinator since the start. Since 2007 Mike has led Rapid Response Radio Workshops and field trials in the Philippines, India and Indonesia teaching teams to use radio in humanitarian relief for the affected communities following disasters.
A RRRU team was led by Mike into the flooded Kosi river region of Bihar, India in 2008 to establish radio broadcasts to assist the 3 Million people affected by the flood. More recently he led a team into Sumatra Indonesia following the Sept 2009 Earthquake, establishing an FM station within 5 days of the disaster.

Puree the chicken with the fat, kibble and eggshells; add water until you make a thin gravy. Pour the mix into a pot and cook for 30 minutes, or until it has the consistency of cream or thick gravy. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well. Now, here's the hard part. Put one cup of chicken gravy into a plastic bag, push out the air, and set aside. Repeat this process until all the gravy has been portioned out, then dump the plastic bags into a container to store in the freezer. Ha! Not hard at all, especially after all the grinding has been done.

The timing of this story now requires a bit of an explanation. I asked for Valentine's Day stories
here and you must come read the results. I'll give them more credit in the Newsviner's Picks
double issue i'm writing for tomorrow. Anyway, one of them was this one by Vacelts: Worst First Date
When it happened I considered this a huge blow to my personal self-esteem and it didn't help that my best
friend's evil brother told everyone what happened so I was a laughing stock both at school at at my Catholic Church youth ministry, which is how I knew her.
But since my dad died I've used this story instead to demonstrate what made my dad special, by which I mean independent (too much so at times, imho) but self-driven.
I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me begin at the beginning.
It was 1984. I was 16. It my first high school prom.I asked to the prom a woman who was beautiful. And she thought I was funny. She was one of the ones who would consistently laugh at stories like these
The big day approached and she had a great dress and looked hot. I had a tux and it itched.
I was, of course, nervous, as this was both a first date and the first prom and since I was a senior my one shot at the prom.
Our family had recently advanced from one V - all Volkwagons (the '63 bus and the '68 bug (my Butkimobile #1 - but that's another story) - to Volvos. Dad loaned me his Volvo.
We met up with another couple and off we went, down Interstate 91. The destination: Anaheim, Cal.
No problems, right?

A Bitcoin ETF on the Horizon
The Winklevoss Bitcoin ETF, named after brothers Cameron and Tyler who are known for filing a lawsuit against Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, is currently under review by the SEC and may be available by the end of 2014.
It would basically legitimize bitcoin investing and make it as simple and straightforward as commodity-based ETFs are for gold and silver. The Trust buys the bitcoins to back the ETF shares, and daily transactions would go through a regulated trading desk.
Is it worth monitoring the Bitcoin ETF's potential approval?
Yes, says Gordon of Pacific Park Financial. "In the same way that a wildly popular IPO comes to market, the ability for everyday Joes and Joans to invest in the virtual currency may send prices soaring. By the same token, it may give hedge funds — "the big money" — an opportunity to short the heck out of it, sending the price plummeting."
Whatever you choose to do, be safe out there.

PETA's "Got zits?" billboard breaks out in Milwaukee
I have a strange fascination with PETA. I'm not even a vegetarian, and I find many of their practices completely ridiculous, and yet, they have my attention. Their latest stunt is no exception.
The hardcore animal rights organization launched a national billboard campaign last week in Kansas City and it went up in Milwaukee this week.
The "Got zits?" billboard was prompted by a recent study published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that claims there is a connection between acne and dairy products.
Hence, the billboard shows a teen with a pimple-covered face, a milk mustache and the words, "Got zits? Studies Show: Milk and Cheese Trigger Acne. Ditch Dairy."
The billboard is located on the south side of West Lisbon Avenue at 52nd Street.
"Teens care about animals, and they care about their skin – so ditching dairy is a no-brainer," says PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman. "PETA encourages people of all ages to help cows and stay healthy by choosing the delicious and cholesterol-free plant-based milks, ice creams and cheeses that are widely available in grocery stores."
A previous 47,000-person study by the Harvard School of Public Health also concluded that the consumption of milk and other dairy products significantly raised the incidence of acne.
A dairy-free diet can also lower the risk of cancer, heart disease, and obesity in adults as well as allergies, ear infections and juvenile-onset diabetes in children.
However, I think a campaign that makes teenagers any more weirded out by food or drink consumption is just short of emotionally negligent. And yet, the other side of me once again commends PETA for their ruthless ability to cut through the clutter and get us to respond. Including this blog.
PETA's billboard is also headed to Cincinnati and Baltimore.
belle123 | May 16, 2013 at 11:50 a.m. (report)
Why would you try to convince teenagers who are still growing (especially girls) to not drink milk or eat dairy? ...Just stupid.

LISTEN: Billy Joel big-hearted duet
Listen to Billy Joel on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Meet the Piano Man Jr. As seen in a video that's taking the Internet by storm, Billy Joel fulfilled a Vanderbilt University student's ultimate dream: a onstage performance of "New York State of Mind" with the singer-songwriter.
The student, Michael Pollack, stood up during a question-and-answer session with the singer and posed what had to be the question he's been waiting to ask his whole life.
Mentioning the performer's sax player, he said, "My favorite song of yours is 'New York State of Mind.' I was very fortunate to play with Richie Cannata many times in New York City, and I was wondering if I could play it with you."
After a short pause, Joel said, "OK."
To wild cheers, the student went onstage, and Joel asked him, "What do you play? You play piano? What key do you do it in?" "What key do you want it in?" Pollack shot back.
The musical talent then showed that he could tickle the keys. From the first chords, it was clear: This kid could play. The college freshman almost stole the show with his obvious skills, and the crowd went wild for the performance. The two then performed the heck out of the song, with Pollack adding plenty of improv. It was a flawless performance, as if the two had done this together many times before. Billy Joel certainly seemed impressed. "Remember the name," he told the audience. "Guy's got chops!"

Another man on the scene gave a similar account.
"A taxi drove past the car and a passenger threw out an explosive device. Shortly after that, I heard a big bang and then the car was on fire," said Akil Kadhim, a soft drinks seller.
Earlier, a US military policeman said it was a car bomb.
A spokesman for the US-led occupying military force in Iraq said there was no word of any casualties.
About 90 minutes after the afternoon attack, the blaze had been extinguished and the wreckage of the car, which bore diplomatic plates, was smouldering. A fire crew was on the scene and US soldiers were guarding the area.

TT question on swelling and garments
- Destined2B
- Washington DC metro area
- Last updated: 5 years ago
Hi everyone I just had my TT done 7 Mar 2012 and wanted to know from those whom already had it done, is there anything you did to relieve the swelling and also did you use a compression garment like spanx or just the velcro like waist band given by the doctor? I want to massage my flanks because I see one side has a lump than the other. I had a full TT with lipo on my flanks and a little on my back.

National Effort Spotlights Red Light Running
To raise awareness about the danger red light running poses to motorists and pedestrians, the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the American Trauma Society (ATS) are sponsoring the fourth annual "National Stop on Red Week" Sept. 1-7. Nearly 1,000 Americans lose their lives each year in red light running crashes.
"That's a deadly cost imposed on our nation," said Federal Highway Deputy Executive Director Vince Schimmoller. "We applaud local communities for helping to make people aware that a split second decision to run a red light can easily take a life. Their work supports safety which is President Bush's highest transportation priority."
According to Department statistics, in 1999, the last year for which these statistics are available, there were nearly 91,000 crashes in intersections with red lights. These crashes resulted in more than 90,000 injuries and 956 fatalities.
"We all remain very concerned about red light running and the loss of nearly 1000 Americans each year," said ATS Executive Director Harry Teter. "However, in this program and others, we also want people to recognize that 1000 families are also traumatized by these crashes. The health community believes that this "Second Trauma" is often as harmful as the car crash. It just gives us one more reason to strive even harder to make people aware that running red lights is dangerous and extremely harmful."
This year's National Stop on Red Week theme is "Consider the Cost" to encourage more traffic safety interest groups, law enforcement agencies, hospitals and other medical care providers, law makers and others to initiate or continue local programs to combat red light running.
Schimmoller pointed out that FHWA and ATS, in collaboration with other partners such as the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE), are working to provide guidance, support and assistance to local communities in all aspects of engineering, education, enforcement, and emergency response and care as part of the national program.
Communities across the country are raising awareness of red light running through press conferences, increased enforcement, and distribution of educational materials and other activities. The Stop Red Light Running program provides those interested in promoting highway safety with technical and program support for local initiatives. A website for further information is available at http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/programs/srlr.htm.

White Paper Backdrop vs Chroma Green Muslim
Hey guys, me again, decided to make a separate thread for this.
I was going to search for a white paper backdrop, but then I saw some chroma green muslim on Amazon, a decent one it seems with good reviews and ok quality.
My initial thought was just use a white bed sheet, and use the image as shot, nothing fancy... just an intimate product shot anyways. Then I was thinking (I know, gezuz), since I have to spend time and money anyways getting white paper, why not just spend a bit more and get the chroma and then I can quickly use whatever bg I wish? The only crappy part is then I'll have to get more light for the chroma bec most of these cheapos have a slightly darker green hue, but it seems many photographers in the reviews say it works fine after getting the wrinkles out and plenty of proper lighting. I just have to be a bit creative in hanging it up as the backdrop, but this is nice and big, so nothing some string and binder clips cant take care of, LOL.
Besides, how could any photographer turn down the option of having a chroma backdrop in stock, esp for videos too now that I am getting the T3i?

Kyl Introduces Multi-Species Conservation Bill
U.S. Senator Jon Kyl (R-AZ) today introduced S. 3841, the Multi-Species Conservation Program Act, which is intended to protect Arizona's wildlife and its habitat on the lower Colorado River by funding the federal government's responsibility for the Multi-Species Conservation Program (MSCP).
"The MSCP is a comprehensive, 50-year effort among federal and non-federal entities in Arizona, California and Nevada to conserve wildlife and maintain wildlife habitat on the lower Colorado River while accommodating water diversions and power production on the river," said Kyl. "This bill holds up our end of the agreement - it will, among other provisions, fund the federal share of the program."
The legislation authorizes funds to cover the federal share of the program costs, directs the Secretary of the Interior to manage and implement the MSCP in accordance with the underlying program documents, and provides a waiver of sovereign immunity so that the non-federal participants would be able to hold the U.S. government accountable for its obligations under that plan in court, if that became necessary.
The MSCP covers approximately 400 miles along the Colorado River in the states of Arizona, California, and Nevada. The costs will be spread over 50 years, and be split 50/50 between the federal government and the non-federal entities involved in the program. The entities in Arizona and Nevada will each bear 25 percent of the non-federal costs and the California entities will bear 50 percent.

Schumer, speaking June 7 at the Hostos Community College's commencement, said, "I am hopeful when I come back next year I can announce a second class gift. What is that?" he asked. "As you know I'm the leader in our effort to pass immigration reform and bring the 11 million out of the shadows – I am sure there's some DREAMers here -- to make them citizens quickly and without delay."
DREAMers is a term used by lawmakers to describe young people who were brought to this country illegally as children and who meet the requirements for permanent residency set forth in the (DREAM) Act, which Congress has not passed.
But in June 2012, President Obama announced that his administration would stop deporting young illegal aliens who match the criteria proposed in the DREAM Act.
Earlier Schumer told the graduates, "As you know it is hard to pay for college. If you're poor, the federal government helps you out – that's good. What about the middle class? So I wrote a law a few years ago that says you or your family, whoever paid for college, can take off your federal taxes a full $2,500 for each year of college," Schumer said.
"Last year a third of all the people who were entitled to it didn't take it – but if you forgot to do it freshman, sophomore, junior year – you can actually fill out a form from the IRS and get back up to $7,500. Not bad for a class gift."
According to the Hostos Community College mission statement, "The College takes pride in its historical role in educating students from diverse ethnic, racial, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, particularly Hispanics and African Americans."

Friend or Foe? The Practice: Be friendly. Why?Friendliness is a down-to-earth approach to others that is welcoming and positive.Think about a time when someone was friendly to you - maybe drawing you into a gathering, saying hello on the sidewalk, or smiling from across the room. How did that make you feel? Probably more included, comfortable, and at ease; safer; more open and warm-hearted.When you are friendly to others, you offer them these same benefits. Plus you get rewarded yourself. … [Read more...]

E34 535i control & thrust arm replacement (vid & pics)
Last year the car started pulling and settling into its suspension ever so slightly during braking. After inspecting the front end and reviewing the maintenance records I researched pricing and labor involved in replacement parts for the front end. Figured it was within my abilities. Last weekend I had the time to accomplish a front end change out.
I was going with Lemforder parts, so I could go with any bushing I wanted. After careful consideration, I chose M5 bushings. It's a daily driver and the roads here suck so I wasn't going with spherical replacements. The M5 type have plenty of very stiff rubber as you can see in the picture. They also appear to receive the least amount of complaints from owners over the long haul.
As I removed parts, it became evident the previous mechanics didn't really know what they were doing. All of the ball joint studs had anti-seize on them. Only the one shown in the video took any effort to remove. The other three could've been removed with a light whack from a ball peen. The steering arm to strut bolts had low-strength (purple) thread locker on them, where they are supposed to have high-strength applied. No washers on any of the nuts holding down the bushing-frame bolts.
The whole front end was a mis-mash of parts. Febi and Boge control arms. The Febi looked almost like an original part. It exhibited much more surface corrosion and the bushing was starting to get eccentric. I was pleased to find Meyle thrust arms. After 80,000 miles, the bushings were quite worn, but the ball joints and boots [on all the arms] were still holding up very well. The car was not shimmying at all.
Earlier in the year I had replaced the tie rods and sway bar links which were Karlyn. I would have to agree with other mechanics that they are utter trash.
If you look carefully at the non-M5 [535i] bushings with the plastic bumpers removed, you can see how eventually the corners wear through the rubber encompassing the inner surface of the bushing and can start knocking on the metal. At the end of the video, you can see that a worn bushing takes very little effort to deflect.
After everything was installed, I picked up some ballast to establish trim height, and torqued the bushing bolts to spec over the local quick-lube's pit. [thanks guy's ]
BTY - There's a pic or two floating around the net of a guy using 50 lb. bags of Quikrete to establish trim height. Although I did that too...I wouldn't recommend it. Use bags of salt or other media that's not as messy. I covered everything in the car with trash bags because if you just look at a bag of Quikrete wrong, it'll pee dry mix on you.
I would've liked to have made a better video, with close-ups and all, but I only had one day to pull off the front end fix. Good camera setup-execution can get very time consuming.
Good food, good people, good times.

Let's be honest here fellas. Are you a hero or a villain in this thing we call life? Do you generally commit acts that are not so nice in order to benefit yourself (no problem lying, cheating, sometimes hurting others if you can get away with it), or do you genuinely care about other people's welfare and do the right thing when its your turn to act in a situation? Or would you consider yourself more of a grey area person?
I think that it is important that a man knows firmly where he stands on matters of goodness and evilness in this world...
Views: 670
Most men are neither in this world. They are a hero when it comes to risking their life to save a little kid or attractive woman from an oncoming car, but fat, mean, old Mrs. Wilkerson? Not so much. They won't cheat on their taxes but will at cards.
It's also worth remembering that their are studies that suggest people who consider themselves to be more virtuous are more likely to lie and cheat.
I might be so bold as to say that those you point to are NOT MEN. Those boys only do things when they benefit, men do what is right even though it may not be convenient.
I have a problem with "do the right thing when its your turn to act." I may say if you witness or are even aware of a situation, as a man it is your responsibility to do what is right regardless of whose turn it is. It seems to me that is an almost impossible standard these days.
Every wicked man is right in his own eyes, and most heroes just think they're doing the best that they can. Good or bad isn't a question of heroism, for very few of us have opportunity for resounding deeds. It's your impact on the world around you that determines good or evil. But, by and large, if you can with frankness look back and appraise yourself on what you've done, and how you've effected the lives of those around you, you'll know what side of the fence you stand on.
"How am I to know the good from the bad?"
"You will know, when you are calm, at peace, passive," -Yoda
While I consider myself a good guy and honestly do strive to be fair, kind, and compassionate with others, we all have our moments of weakness. No one is superman or even close to perfect, so there is grey area we must navigate from day to day. That said, I think the mere fact that we strive to be "good guys" and better people, unless we're involved in something overtly wrong such as child or animal abuse, or deliberate criminal activity, puts us in that category.
Good question. I imagine Hitler thought he was doing the right thing, so it's not an easy thing to be objective about.
I don't hurt others intentionally. I try to be honest and fair, and kind when I can be. It really bothers me when I realize I've done something that harmed someone. I do try to see myself as others see me, which though impossible isn't a bad thing to try to do. I try to remember that "character is what you do when you don't think anyone can see you." I try to say only things that I would say to anyone, in public, so if something I said were to get to the wrong person, it would be something I could stand behind.
Most of the times I can think of when I did something that really hurt someone it was because I was misinformed in some way. It wasn't really greed or selfishness on my part, at least not intentionally; but I didn't see other options I had, or how my actions would really affect others.
I wouldn't call myself a hero by any stretch of the term, and oddly enough I imagine the people I consider heroes wouldn't consider themselves that either. I consider myself a man who tries to do the right thing, and tries to keep and gain enough perspective to be right more often than wrong. It's a constant struggle, but really, what else are we supposed to be doing with our lives?
I am a good man. I am a bad man. I am neither. I am both.
It all comes down to perspective.
Moreover, it comes down to reasons. If you do the right thing for the wrong reasons, does it make you a good guy? And vice versa.
All we can do is try to follow a moral compass, never needlessly causing harm to our fellow men.
Am I in a confessional?
I'm no angel.
This doesn't require a degree in philosophy, or any self justification....
Unless you're a sociopath, you know right from wrong.
Often, doing the right thing is harder than doing the wrong thing. Many people are just lazy.
Remember this? "Character is how you behave when no one is looking".
The Golden Rule; in all things, treat everyone as you would want to be treated.
So, just do the right thing.
Very true, all of it.
It is, however, pretty easy for people to let themselves think they have no choice but to do the wrong thing; even when they do know right from wrong. They're almost always sorry, and right away, but then the rationalizations kick in. That's the thing I always try to watch out for in myself. "Am I just making excuses for myself? When have I really, truly, not had a choice?" The answer is usually "Never." You always have a choice, at least to some degree. The hard part is to make sure you're not letting yourself be lazy, as you put it.

Itinerary Disclaimer
Important Notes
It is important to note that in Europe, all guiding is based around local guides all of whom are licensed to work only in a particular city. As such, our leaders are able to provide orientation walks which will show you the layout of each town and city as well as the location of local services such as post offices and laundromats, but are unable to legally share historical facts and figures in public places.
In Europe it is very rare to find elevators in train stations, hotels or other public places. We use public transport on this trip, which means you will need to carry your luggage from platform to platform, in and out of trains and buses etc. and also possibly up several flights of stairs. You will also need to be able to stow your luggage safely on trains and buses. It is therefore essential that you pack light and bring luggage which is compact and lightweight, and which you can easily transport. The carrying of your luggage remains your responsibility at all times. We highly recommend travelling with a backpack or duffel bag over any wheeled luggage options.
Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes.
Group Leader Description
This G Adventures group trip is accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects.
Group Size Notes
Max 16, avg 12
Eating is a big part of traveling. Travelling with G Adventures you experience the vast array of wonderful food that is available out in the world. Generally meals are not included in the trip price when there is a choice of eating options, to give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat. It also gives you more budgeting flexibility, though generally food is cheap. Our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There is no obligation to do this though. Your CEO will be able to suggest favourite restaurants during your trip. The above information applies to G Adventures group trips. For Independent trips please check the itinerary for details of meals included. For all trips please refer to the meals included and budget information for included meals and meal budgets.
Trains, subway, walking
About our Transportation
Intercity transport on this trip will be by train. The train systems in Europe are generally good, with seat reservations and toilet/snack facilities on longer journeys. You will notice trains run according to the schedule more stringently in some regions and not-so-stringently in others. Pack a book, some music and your sense of adventure.
Please note that you MUST be comfortable carrying your own luggage as there will be a lot of up and down stairs on this trip due to the nature of station layouts in Europe (very few are equipped with escalators or elevators). Between public transport and hotels you may be required to carry your luggage short distances (up to 15 mins walk), in larger cities you may travel by metro or city bus, and occasionally the group will take taxis to and from hotels.
Solo Travellers
Hotels/pensions (12 nts).
About Accommodation
It is important to note that accommodation in Europe tend to be quite different to other areas of the world you may have travelled in. Buildings and rooms are generally old and may not have been renovated or maintained to the highest standard. Downtown hotels in Europe were not built to be hotels but houses of the rich, which have been changed into hotels. Therefore unusual room sizes are common as large rooms have been partitioned in the past, resulting in rather "thin" walls. Reception areas, rooms and bathrooms tend to be very small as they were often added into an existing room, and may have a hand nozzle rather than a conventional shower head.
On this trip you can expect to stay in small family-run hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. You can expect to find clean, safe, simple accommodation in convenient locations.
Staff can occasionally demonstrate less than perfect customer service. As accommodation is in short supply, especially during the summer months, hotels can charge a premium and there is sometimes little motivation to improve facilities.
Joining Hotel
Joining Instructions
Please note that day 1 is an arrival day and no activities have been planned on this day. Upon arrival to the city on day 1 (or earlier if you have booked pre-accommodation with us), please make your way to the joining hotel (note that check-in time will be in the afternoon). Once you arrive at the hotel, look for a note or bulletin board in the reception with a note from your CEO. This note will give the details of your Welcome Meeting on day 1 (usually between 5pm and 7pm), where you will get a chance to meet your CEO and other travellers, as well as learn more about how the tour will run. If you don't see a note, please ask reception for details!
If you are arriving later and will miss the Welcome Meeting, your CEO will leave a note at reception for you with any information you may need, and with morning instructions for the next day.

What to Take
You will be on the move a lot, so our advice is to pack as lightly as possible. We highly recommend using a backpack or light sports bag, whichever you find easiest to carry, plus a small daypack. Luggage space on public transport is limited. You must be prepared to carry your own bags and be comfortable carrying them between transport and hotels (max. 15-20 mins walking), hopping on and off trains and public buses and up and down stairs.
Suggested Items:
-Weather-appropriate clothing
•Light fleece top
•Light windproof/waterproof jacket
•Small towel and swimwear
•Sun hat
•Sturdy walking shoes or boots with good grip
•Toiletries (biodegradable)
•Watch or alarm clock
•Water bottle
•Money belt
-First-aid kit
-Rehydration powder
-Insect Repellent
•Passport (with photocopies)
•Travel insurance (with photocopies)
•Airline tickets (with photocopies)
•EUR cash
•Credit or debit card (see personal spending money)
•G Adventures vouchers, pre-departure information and dossier
•Any entry visas or vaccination certificates required
Laundry facilities are offered by some of our hotels for a charge or ask your CEO where the closest laundromat is. There will be times when you may want to or have to do your own laundry so we suggest you bring non-polluting/biodegradable soap.
Spending Money
Money Exchange
Credit cards and debit cards are very useful for cash advances but you must remember to bring your PIN number (be aware that many ATM machines only accept 4-digit PINs). Both Cirrus and Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. Visa cards are the most widely accepted credit cards. While ATMs are commonly available, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work – check with your bank. You should be aware when purchasing products or services on a credit card, that a fee usually applies.
Do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of Euros and cards is best.
Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds.
For this trip you will be in regions using the British Pound (GBP), Euro (EUR), Swiss Francs (CHF) and the Hungarian Forint (HUF).
Emergency Fund
It is customary in Europe to leave a small tip for service providers, such as waiters, if you are pleased with the service (€1-2).
Tipping is an expected – though not compulsory – component of your tour program, and an expression of satisfaction with the persons who have assisted you on your tour. Although it may not be customary to you, it is of considerable significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels. There are several times during the trip where there is opportunity to tip the local guides. You may do this individually, or your CEO will offer to collect the money and tip as a group. Recommendations for tipping local guides would range from €3-5 per day, depending on the quality and length of the service; ask your CEO for specific recommendations based on the circumstances and culture.
Also at the end of each trip if you felt your G Adventures CEO did an outstanding job, tipping is appreciated. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline €30-40 per person, per week can be used.
Optional Activities
Your local guide or CEO will recommend different optional activities, feel free to ask him/her for more information.
Eiffel Tower – €8-€13
Louvre Museum – €9
Musee d'Orsay – €8
Palace of Versailles – €13.5

You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information well before departure.

The tooth fairy still rewards adults who keep their teeth nice, leaving grown-up gifts, such as issues of the Economist and Pontiac Azteks, under their pillows. Grin and win with this Groupon.
$59 for a Dental Package ($327 Total Value)
- Exam and consultation (a $64 value)
- Full set of x-rays (a $116 value)
- Panoramic x-ray (an $84 value)
- Basic cleaning (a $63 value)

Lasting roughly 90 minutes, the exam includes a full set of x-rays and a panoramic x-ray to screen for potential health issues. After a basic cleaning, the dentist chats with patients about any pain, discomfort, or hoped-for improvements in their smiles and werewolf snarls.

Anthony & Teale Family Dentistry
Inside a sunny office tucked beside lush woodlands, Hot Springs-native Dr. Teale and the highly trained staff prioritize patient-centric care. A few moments in the bright, modern office—painted in soothing hues of mint and eggshell—exposes their covert mission to transform dental visits from a dreaded chore into a pleasant biannual ritual. Every exam room looks out onto a lush garden, though during rainy days or the long-foretold lawn-gnome uprising, patients can still find comfort in the cushy massage chair, personal TV, and music hookups. This general dentistry office maintains state-of-the-art equipment to closely monitor oral health, including a 3D x-ray, which captures skulls from ear to ear, revealing hidden roots, bones, and forgotten q-tips. After every treatment, patients refresh with a nourishing slick of lip balm before checking out their polished molars and bicuspid tattoos in the ornate looking glass dubbed the "Smile Mirror."

Jerry Kearns' new work meditates on the construction of images post-9/11. The stark blue sky found in all of the paintings sets the mood as surreal and stands in for the strange blue sky behind the Twin Towers after the attack. Kearns explores various ways of representing the present body by subverting notions of masculinity and strength with both feminine and androgynous signifiers.

I know what the problem is...
My local Kohls had two Pandigital Novels in stock yesterday. They were behind the customer service desk, and they were willing to sell me one for $259. Unfortunately, they would not price match the sale that was set to run today.
So, I sent my wonderful wife out to try to secure me one when the store opened at 8:00. When she got there, they still had two, but they were informed by the manufacturer that the units were defective and that they needed to pull them. They have no idea when they will be back in stock, but they put me first on the waiting list. I called another Kohls and they confirmed that all of the units shipped to Kohls were recalled as defective and they couldn't sell them.
I'm not sure if this relates to why they were taken off the website, but it makes sense. Perhaps Nate received one of the defective ones, and that is why his experience was so different from Coldsun's.

Jackaroo 4x4
2001 prices: $46,050 manual, $48,000 automatic.
The Isuzu General Motors Holden Jackaroo had a mid-term update in late 1999 for the 2000 model year. The most notable mechanical change was in the transmission: Base models retained the part-time manual four wheel drive system with manual locking free wheel hubs, but the SE Jackaroos got a push-button "torque on demand" system, i.e. an electrically operated multi-plate clutch to take drive to the front wheels.
Low range is still selected by a lever mounted on the floor.
The 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine produces 158kW at 5400rpm and
310Nm at 3000rpm.
The 3 litre diesel (118kW at 3900rpm, 333Nm at 2000rpm) Jackaroos got the option of a 4-speed automatic transmission in late 1999.
The diesel is one of the modern
common-rail diesel engines, which
use very high pressure fuel delivery of 40,000kPa
to hydraulic/electronic injectors operating
at tip pressures up to 140,000kPa.
The Monterey (right) is the top line model with all the "good bits" and an optional luxury pack of leather seats, electric front seats (they never say chairs) and wood-grain trim. It is distinguished externally by rather fussy 12-spoke alloy wheels.
