French corporate powerhouse Bredin Prat has boosted its turnover by more than10 per cent in 2003.
Turnover is up 11.4 per cent from €35m (£23.9m) in 2002 to €39m (£26.6m) for the financial year ending 31 December 2003.
Bredin has grabbed its usual share of France's biggest deals, kicking off the year advising Crédit Agricole on its €19.5bn (£13.32bn) acquisition of Crédit Lyonnais, and ending it advising on the €48bn (£32.78bn) hostile takeover of Aventis.
Bredin boosted its lawyer count by 10 to 57. Most came from CMS Bureau Francis Lefebvre when Bredin took on a six-lawyer tax practice.
The recruits have inevit-ably had an initial effect on fees per lawyer, which sank by 8 per cent, from €744,000 (£508,200) to €684,000 (£467,200).

|There are a lot of flybarless gyros on the market right now, but only a select few have the ability to level the helicopter back to upright with the flip of a switch. What would you use this for? The first thing that comes to mind is to bail yourself out of trouble while trying a new maneuver, or if you find yourself in an orientation you arent used to. Another thing it could do is instill a little more confidence into your flight, like you know you can fly a particular maneuver but have been afraid to try it for real. This is where the HC3-SX from HeliCommand really proves its worth. With the flick of a switch your heli will automatically level out and start climbing up into the sky, giving you a chance to get your bearings and carry on the flight. However the HC3-SX does more. Aside from being a powerful flybarless gyro, you can also set it into what I am going to call a coax mode, where the heli will return itself to neutral when you let go of the sticks (kind of like an actual coax heli). The applications are numerous, from 3D helis to scale ships, but for the purpose of this review, Ill be using a Goblin 700.
The HC3-SX comes in a small tin; with the gyro sitting in custom cut foam padding. Also in the tin is the USB interface, adhesive mounting pads, USB flash drive with programming software and instruction manual loaded, wiring loom, and a decal sheet.
The gyro is small and light, weighing in at just .63 ounces. Its housed in a very nice durable aluminum case. There are nine plugs lined up in a row, with a tenth two pin plug in the center. The two pin plug is used only by part of the loom plug (for attaching to a standard receiver, see further down). On each side of the gyro is a plug used for Spektrum satellite receivers, and it is worth noting that the HC3-SX is also S.Bus compatible. A large, highly visible LED is on the top of gyro toward the corner. Another point worth noting is that the company that makes the HC3-SX, Captron, is a leading sensor switch and PCB assembly and manufacturing company. I dont think we could have a more suited company to make the HC3-SX.
Another unique feature about the self leveling part of the HC3-SX, is that it does not have any accelerometers in it. Traditionally, this is what companies use for self leveling technology, however accelerometers are prone to vibrations, making it absolutely necessary to tune out any and all vibration from your helicopter (or get them down to an acceptable level for the gyro). With the HC3-SX, it is no accelerometers, no vibration, no fuss. The way it actually works is something of a trade secret, and almost seems adaptive as you can retrain the gyro in flight as to where the horizon is (by just hovering around for a bit).
Mounting the gyro is straight forward, but I was warned to discard the thicker of the mounting tape to avoid setup problems. It seems that the gyro likes to be as rigid to the helicopter as possible, and any movement of the gyro from the helicopter will cause problems. If you are using S.Bus (as I did), you connect the one wire from your receiver to the HC3-SX, and then connect your battery and servos directly into the gyro. As mentioned before, Spektrum users can plug a satellite receiver directly into the side of the gyro. Anyone else will have to use the supplied loom to connect the gyro to your receiver. All of this is explained in the programming software and instruction manual, so lets take a look at the actual software.
Regarding the self adhesive foam tape supplied for mounting the gyro. It is recommended that you use the thin tape for electrics, and the thick tape for nitro/gas. My buddy Bob happened to be setting up the HC3-SX in his Synergy N5c while I was doing this review. The N5c is a nitro powered 50 size heli, so he used the recommended thick tape to begin with. The first few times we tried to spool up, the heli showed a tendency to want to tip fairly drastically. After a little trouble shooting, we remounted the gyro using the thin tape, and then everything worked exactly the way it should. Something to bear in mind when you are first testing your setup.
The supplied USB flash drive contains the instruction manual and programming software (also available via download at www.helicommand.com). The gyro is simple to set up, but the software could seem a little overwhelming to someone new to flybarless. The nice thing is that if you are unsure of an item, you can move your mouse over it and a pop up will explain what it is for. For setup purposes, there is also a wizard that will guide you through the initial setup process, making it even easier. The USB adapter simply connects to your computer, and plugs in the first port of the gyros servo plugs.
The First Tab All
The first tab of the software, labeled All, is what you are presented with when you first load up the program. From here you can check for firmware updates, start the setup wizard, and backup or load your settings. It shows you on the lower right if you are connected to your gyro or not, and your gyro must be powered up to connect. One thing to be aware of when loading files, is that when you do it from the all tab, it will load the settings for all of the tabs. However, if you pick one of the tabs, such as tail and then load the settings, it will only load and write/change the settings for that particular tab. So from this screen we can start the setup wizard. With a new gyro, you wont actually be able to view some of the other tabs until you do go through the wizard.
Tab 1 RC
The second tab is used for setting your servo types, and assigning channels. This is also where you select the interface type between your gyro and receiver. Here you can set which channel relates to specific functions. I should also point out that the green equals sign = between the read and write buttons indicate that the software and gyro are synced. Before moving to the next tab, it is important to hit the write button to sync them up. That green equals sign will turn red when they are out of sync. Here you can see that my tail gyro gain is set to one channel, while the head gain is set to another. The head gain is an overall setting that can be adjusted from your transmitter while flight testing and setting up your heli. I assigned this channel to a slider switch on my 8FGS so that I could adjust it easily. Once you have found your gain setting, this channel then gets assigned to the rescue feature (more about that further down).
Tab 2 Diagnose
The diagnose screen is great for, well, diagnosing :) . Here you have a visual representation of how the gyro is interpreting the commands you are giving it with your transmitter. It is also a crucial part of setup. Using servo reverse, endpoints, and subtrim on your transmitter, you must make sure that the channel is centered where it should be (using the bars for each channel), and that the endpoints are set to full travel, as well as checking to see that everything is moving in the right direction. Each function shows a bar with a center point and two bars on either side indicating where your endpoints should be set. Its just a case of looking at the bars and adjusting your transmitter settings so that you get the right amount of travel in both directions. This is a live reading from your gyro, and the only things you are changing are the settings in your transmitter. Therefore there is no need to sync the software with your gyro at this point. Once you have set the endpoints and subtrim on this screen, no more adjustments should be made to the transmitter (except for the gain channels). Off to the left side are visual indications of the signals the gyro is receiving, as well as which mode you are currently in. This is a good time to explain that the term rigid used through the software, refers to the normal flybarless operation of the gyro, and the term horizon is the self leveling mode.
Tab 3 Trim
This tab is for trimming your servos center point. This is a different operation from the trimming done on the diagnose screen. Subtrimming on the diagnose screen is done with the transmitter, to get all the channels on the diagnose screen centered (the swash is adjusted mechanically afterwards). The trim feature on this tab is used to set where the servo center points are. You shouldnt be using the transmitter to adjust the servos at this point. Once these steps are completed, you can mechanically adjust your links to level your swash at mid stick/zero degrees pitch.
Tab 4 Mixer
The mixer screen is the main area for setting swash type and servo directions. The HC3-SX is very versatile when it comes to mounting, it can be inverted, vertical, facing any direction. The swash type is set here, with five different options. For the Goblin, it was Tri (120) degrees. Down the left hand side are the options for reversing servos, as well as cyclic direction. Next to the cyclic direction reverse are the travel sliders for setting how much pitch you want on your cyclic (youll need a pitch gauge on your blades for this). Continuing to the right is the slider for collective pitch range, again youll need your pitch gauge.
I didnt adjust the cyclic phase (swash rotation for some multi-blade heads), sinus linearizer (what a name! Works against mechanical stress on H4 linkages), or collective offset (which you can't use when using rescue mode with pitch). Im not entirely sure what the first two do exactly, so I left them alone. Dont forget to hit the write button!
Tab 5 Tail Gyro
This is where the usual tail setup happens. There are some presets that you can click to get the settings close to some of the popular gyros, or you can customize it from scratch. This is also where you set the trail servo travel limits to prevent the pushrod binding. For optimum performance, it is recommended to set the tail mechanically so that the tail blades sit at zero degrees pitch with the stick in the center position.
Tab 6 Rigid
Rigid, or just flybarless, is where you fine tune the flybarless controller. When the head gain is assigned to an auxiliary channel, your transmitter settings will override the head gyro gain default shown at the top of this screen. Once youve test flown and found a head gain setting that you like, you find out what that value is on the diagnose screen before reassigning your aux switch to bailout mode, and input that value on this page. You can also adjust the elevator and aileron gains individually. Agility sets how fast the helicopter responds, and there are a few more options here that you can tweak to suit your model (including P and D gains).
Tab 7 Horizon
The first option on this tab is what to assign your auxiliary channel to. Rigid gain refers to the overall head gain, which is what you want to start with when dialing in your heli during initial flights. Once you have that setting (as discussed under tab 6) you can then switch your aux channel over to horizon mode, which is the self leveling mode. The type of model you are flying and the results you want from activating horizon mode will dictate your settings here. For me, I wanted to be able to fly 3D with the gyro set to rigid (which is regular flybarless mode), and use a momentary switch on my 8FGS to activate horizon mode (self leveling). I chose the acro mode under 3D mode so that when activate my model will either level to upright or inverted (whichever is quicker) and start climbing. The second option goes to pos will always turn the model to the upright position before climbing, which is something you may choose to do if you are learning inverted flight.
The self leveling modes on the left are basically the modes to use on a general sport or scale model (i.e. not 3D flying), using self level only, either as soon as you let go of the sticks, much like a coax heli, or by flicking a switch when needed. This would be a good option to choose for a scale helicopter, or if you are starting to learn forward flight. The two options for this give you the ability to either always level to upright, or both to upright and vertical depending on which is closer (much like 3D mode).
The only option I changed in the advanced menus was the coll. pitch travel only for rescue action. Reducing this slowed down the rate at which the helicopter climbs when rescue mode is activated (which by default on the Goblin was like a rocket ship!).
Real Time Tuning Tab
This tab allows you two assign your aux channel to any number of different functions for fine tuning without a computer.
Help Tab
As the name suggest, this is where all the help files and info are stored. There are even some neat diagrams showing you how to wire your setup.
After doing a thorough preflight check, and making sure that everything was moving in the correct direction, and that the gyros were responding correctly, I set my head gain at about 50% gain and took off. As a side note, 20% head gain is the minimum at the center midpoint of your channel. Either side of the midpoint increases gain up to 100% at either extreme. Therefore, to get 50% gain, I set my slider at ¾ of total travel, knowing that I could bump it up gradually as needed. Once in the air, I hovered for a few seconds, landed, bumped up the gain, and took off. By progressing through various stages of flight, I was able to get the head gain where I wanted it, which was just a little below where the shakes wanted to start. Now, I confess that I did cheat a little and had a file from a fellow Goblin flier who also uses the HC3-SX, but I did still have to dial in my head gain as though I was starting from scratch. I adjusted the aileron gain separately from the elevator via a laptop (which is a handy thing to have at the field during the setup phase) and also played around with the agility slider until I found a setting I liked.
I flew several flights before even setting up the horizon mode (bail out mode), mainly because the Goblin was flying so good that I forgot that I had another step to complete. The HC3-SX flies extremely well, it is smooth and locked in, and I was having a great time with the Goblin. I was very impressed with the gyro, it felt great and didnt do anything strange. I had a small aileron wobble when doing tail down tic tocs, which is why I reduced the aileron gain as mentioned above. Other than that, the Goblin was in great shape!
After checking the diagnose screen and reading my head gain setting (which was at 80%), I input that value into the Rigid tab, and assigned my aux channel to Horizon under the Horizon tab. There are two ways that you can check the horizon mode is functioning correctly. The status LED on the gyro is normally amber in color, when horizon mode is enabled (rescue) it flashes green. The second way is to look at the diagnose tab and check that the Hor. Channel is moving in the correct direction. This will also be indicated in the stabilization window on the left.
Once Horizon mode is assigned, it is important to initialize the heli on a level surface and to keep movement down to a minimum before takeoff. I first flew the Goblin around to check that all was still good, then I leveled out manually and hit the rescue switch to activate horizon mode. The Goblin straightened itself out and shot up skyward like a ballistic missile! So as I mentioned earlier, I dialed it down to a more manageable setting and tried again. This gave a much better response, it still righted itself extremely quickly and climbed vertically at a moderate rate. I then flew several flights and put the Goblin in many different positions and experimented with my new rescue feature. Each time the Goblin would right itself (either upright or inverted) and shoot skyward.
The first video below is just a regular flight, trying out the HC3-SX as a gyro. The second video illustrates the rescue mode.
Only one time did I have an issue, and I only had myself to blame. I hit the rescue switch at the beginning of a flight, and the Goblin shot up and to the side at a 45 degree angle. Remember I said it needed to be kept still during initialization? Well this is what happens when you dont. I later learned that the gyro is constantly calculating the horizon and that if I had let the helicopter hover for a few seconds it would have adapted, and gotten over the fact that I didnt exactly keep it still when I plugged it in.
Rescue features aside, the HC3-SX as a flybarless gyro is outstanding by itself. If you find yourself without the need for the rescue feature, you can purchase the HC3-Xtreme version (which has a new lower price as of November) and have all the same programmability, just without the self level feature. As a gyro I am impressed, combine the fact that firmware updates can be done by the end user (me!) and they really have a winner on their hands. I know some of you will be looking at the price of the HC3-SX thinking it is a little pricey, but put it against some of the best gyros out there and then ask yourself what a single crash or more would cost. Dont be fooled by its humble beginnings either, this is a serious gyro that can be used pro pilots and beginners alike. For beginners, or sport pilots learning to 3D, or even 3D guys trying something new, I am sure that the rescue feature will save you some pennies by avoiding possible crashes. Even forgetting parts cost on a crash rebuild, this is worth it to me in the time it will save from having to rebuild and go through the setup process all over again.

Reco, I'd do a HobbyKing FBL setup on a clone, but no way would I want anything less than something this sophistcated on a high-dollar ride like a Goblin 700.
If anyone is going to drop five bills on this system, it's definitely going on a pricey machine.
I have three 450 class helis with $50 - $70 FBL units which work really well IMO. My Blade400 FBL is so much better than it ever was with a FB and it is so much easier,faster to repaire after a dumb thumbs event.
I have read many post about the Beast X ,Ikon and other FBL units with self leveling which according to most do not work very well. It sounds like HC got it correct with this unit and man the Bail Out /Rescue save my bacon switch could / would likely save me a lot of rebuilds and down time.
Four years ago I purchased a Blade 400 and averaged about 10 flights between crashes and after 8 or 10 crashes shelfed it for three years. This spring I started helis again this time with a mCPX then added a BL one and converted the first one to BL and a few months later added a Blade 130X. THese Micros advanced my heli abilities big time so about two months ago converted Blade 400 to FBL and while flying is much better than ever before I still make mistakes that result in rebuilds which can run into money. I did manage a string of just over 50 flights between my B400 and a B450 which is a personal best for me .Last dumb thumbs event main shaft,feathering shaft, main drive gear,tail shaft, several bearings,new frame ,landing gear and set of CF blades plus around 10 hours of rebuild / setup time.
I know ,practice new manuvers with the mCPXs and 130X and use a flight Sim. I agree and as mentioned micros have helped big time but still not the same as a 450 ,biggest difference is knowing the 450 will require rebuilding after it goes in.

Chris two simple questions.
Can the rescue mode be set to always go to upright even if heli is inverted or closer to level inverted?
Will the rescue override any stick positions at time it is engaged or does one have to also center / relax the cyclic stick?
You know how it is. First you shelve the heli for a few days 'cause you can't bear to look at it , then you meticulously take it apart to identify the damaged parts. Order the parts online, or get your LHS to order them. You get the parts and rebuild it, and then you go through the setup all over again.
Or, you flip a switch when you start getting into trouble, take a few breaths and unclench while your heli cruises skywards, and then rock on all over again.
You can let go of the sticks while holding the rescue switch (which I do in the video above). Once you release the switch, the heli will jump to where ever your sticks are, so there may be a little jump when you let go of the switch. I got in the habit of centering the sticks before letting go of the switch.
Also, the HC doesn't have any control over the throttle channel, so don't try flipping upside down in normal mode and then hitting the switch
I use the momentary switch for rescue (as in his video) on my 8FG and Goblin 630. For the Horizon mode (coaxial, as Chris described it), I use a 3 position switch. In the up position it is off. In the middle it is 17%, when down it is 40%. For horizon mode you do not have to hold the switch. You can turn it on and fly the model around. Let go of the cyclic and it will level the heli. The value stated above (17% & 40%) can be considered to be the intensity of the self level feature. This has nothing to do with rescue... Only self level aka horizon aka coaxial mode.
The lower the value, the less the system will work against you in flight. That is, if you set it to 50% it'll be so much like a coaxial that it may feel hard to fly because it constantly wants to level the heli. Around 17% though, you have complete control in flight and can still have the self level feature work when you let go of the cyclic.
This is the same whether upright or inverted if you have the unit programmed to function that way (its user defined!).
I set bailout/rescue to a momentary switch so I don't have to remember to turn it off after safely rescuing. Don't want to let it get away from me when activated, so, a momentary switch allows you to just let go of the switch to deactivate rescue.
Hope that helps add a little more clarity.

Thanks gentelmen that clears up my questions , now left with the is it worth $500 or not. Logic says yes however the way my luck runs if I purchase one now in a few months there will be $300 versions of it on the market but then they will not have such a great proven track record either.
As it is often said - You get what you pay for.
The HC3-SX simply has the BEST self leveling in the biz and it's in a league of it's own !!! i don't know how it does it but just hit that switch and it works EVERY time without fail !!!
Oh and it's a great FBL contoller to to boot with one of the better tails, right up there with a V-Bar......
It's paid for itself already. There is only a couple of things I would ask for and both I have suggested to Helicommand and they have taken them on board. It's nice to find a manufacturer who listens.
(1) The connections on the top are a pain IMHO and they should be on the side.
(2) The manual and computer setup guide need some work so they can be understood better.
I also have HC 3D's and find the HC3SX tail gyro heaps better than the 3D.
I use a BeastX on an Atom 500 and whilst it is a good unit I would swap it for an HC3SX if I could find somewhere to fit it. If it has side connections I would buy another one tomorrow. I have a 3G on a scale and again it works but the HC3SX is in a class of it's own.
Someone mention Hobby King. I have never and would never use any of their electronics on my helis. They are OK for a $150 foamy or ply and balsa plank but not a $1750 heli.

Now this is in fact one grand explanation of Bulwer-Lytton's rank in English literature.
Bulwer-Lytton was born on the fringe of the aristocratic region.
Bulwer-Lytton looked at the matter in quite a different light.
Just this difficulty troubled Bulwer-Lytton when he was preparing for Richelieu.
But there was much more than this operating towards Bulwer-Lytton's reconciliation with criticism.
Miss Mitford and Bulwer-Lytton had written "dramatic scenes."
Between his failure and his triumph Bulwer-Lytton may be said to have had no political audience.
Bulwer-Lytton was a ceaseless smoker; and there are few if any notable Germans who have not been addicted to the same indulgence.
Bulwer-Lytton tells the story, with probably a close regard for the facts.
Byron's first poetical efforts were failures; so were those of Bulwer-Lytton and Beaconsfield, both in literature and oratory.

Gibbs, Kilpatrick Earn BIG EAST Weekly Honors
Marshon Brooks was one of five players selected to the official honor roll of the BIG EAST.
Marshon Brooks, Providence, F, Sr.
Recorded a double-double in each of the Friars' first three games this season. He is averaging 19.7 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 assists and is shooting 50 percent from the field.
Wow, so Dartmouth is that bad that the BIG EAST has removed the Friars opening game from it's memory? Providence has played four games, and Marshon has a double-double in the last three, but thanks for the recognition BIG EAST!

The #1 Career Mistake Capable People Make
I recently reviewed a resume for a colleague who was trying to define a clearer career strategy. She has terrific experience. And yet, as I looked through it I could see the problem she was concerned about... she had done so many good things in so many different fields it was hard to know what was distinctive about her.
As we talked it became clear the resume was only the symptom of a deeper issue. In an attempt to be useful and adaptable she has said yes to too many good projects and opportunities. She has ended up feeling overworked and underutilized. It is easy to see how people end up in her situation:
Step 1: Capable people are driven to achieve.
Step 2: Other people see they are capable and give them assignments.
Step 3: Capable people gain a reputation as "go to" people. They become "good old [insert name] who is always there when you need him." There is lots right with this, unless or until...
Step 4: Capable people end up doing lots of projects well but are distracted from what would otherwise be their highest point of contribution which I define as the intersection of talent, passion and market (see more on this in the Harvard Business Review article The Disciplined Pursuit of Less). Then, both the company and the employee lose out.
When this happens, some of the responsibility lies with out-of-touch managers who are too busy or distracted to notice the very best use of their people. But some of the responsibility lies with us. Perhaps we need to be more deliberate and discerning in navigating our own careers.
In the conversation above, we spent some time to identify my colleague's Highest Point of Contribution and develop a plan of action for a more focused career strategy.
We followed a simple process similar to one I write about here: If You Don't Design Your Career, Someone Else Will. My friend is not alone. Indeed, in coaching and teaching managers and executives around the world it strikes me that failure to be conscientious about this represents the #1 mistake, in frequency, I see capable people make in their careers.
Using a camping metaphor, capable people often add additional poles of the same height to their career tent. We end up with 10, 20 or 30 poles of the same height, somehow hoping the tent will go higher. I don't just mean higher on the career ladder either. I mean higher in terms of our ability to contribute.
The slightly painful truth is, at any one time there is only one piece of real estate we can "own" in another person's mind. People can't think of us as a project manager, professor, attorney, insurance agent, editor and entrepreneur all at exactly the same time. They may all be true about us but people can only think of us as one thing first. At any one time there is only one phrase that can follow our name. Might we be better served by asking, at least occasionally, whether the various projects we have add up to a longer pole?
I saw this illustrated some time ago in one of the more distinctive resumes I have seen. It belonged to a Stanford Law School Professor [there it is: the single phrase that follows his name, the longest pole in his career tent]. His resume was clean and concise. For each entry there was one impressive title/role/school and a succinct description of what he had achieved. Each sentence seemed to say more than ten typical bullet points in many resumes I have seen. When he was at university he had been the student body president, under "teaching" he was teacher of the year and so on.
Being able to do many things is important in many jobs today. Broad understanding also is a must. But developing greater discernment about what is distinctive about us can be a great advantage. Instead of simply doing more things we need to find, at every phase in our careers, our highest point of contribution.
Are you Greg McKeown??
If you don't take control of your career, no one else will. Once you have that awareness, make intentional steps to make your plans come to fruition.
This isn't news, but there are a lot of people out there waiting for an opportunity to come to them vs. being proactive to make things happen.
My boss told me to read Winning Through Intimidation by Robert Ringer. Great book that teaches you how you can fight for yourself.
Certainly true for dealing with third parties, internally it applies to a lesser degree.
"The most common failure in a professional career is failing to recognize and take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves."
I definitely need to check out the anatomy of success I feel very underutilized in my current job and am becoming more and more complacint. I've tried to reach and and just barely am getting additional training towards a higher up position but I feel they aren't pushing the matter enough to get me trained fast enough for me to succeed.
Been awhile since I checked this thread. My attitude is you only live once...give it all you got, don't take crap within reason, and voice your desires. I know I'm young and just starting out, but I have definitely voiced what I want and where I want to be within my company. I get a lot of respect from management for that. For you guys that posted recommended books, I'll check to see if we have those at work. If not I'll have my manager order them for me to read while traveling.

Hello everyone.
So in light of the recent chapter (Slowpoke I choose you!) we saw how Obito got his Mangekyo Sharingan at the age of what, 14? Also, he apparently started bleeding, a lot mind you, after using Kamui heavily.
My questions are: how much of his eyesight remains, and why doesn't he bleed from his eyes anymore? Does Senju DNA magically keep one from losing one's eyesight? (I bet that'll be the explanation)
Also, what gave him immediate mastery over his new Dojutsu?
What do you think?

Does weight loss lead to long-term health benefits?
Did you resolve to lose weight this New Year? If so, you are not alone. "Lose weight" is the #1 New Year's resolution for 2014. Many people link weight loss with health improvements. In fact, "Stay fit and healthy" is the #5 most popular resolution. These resolutions are supported by the weight loss industry, which has a financial interest in "helping" you make weight loss resolutions. In January we are bombarded with advertisements for diet plans and various weight loss methods. In addition to the media, people who are overweight or obese are often encouraged by their physicians to lose weight through dieting as a means of improving health. Given the emphasis on weight loss for health improvements, I think that it is important to ask: does losing weight actually lead to long-term health benefits?
Recently, a group of researchers tackled this question. In "Long-Term Effects of Dieting: Is Weight Loss Related to Health?" Tomiyama, Ahlstrom, and Mann (2013) explored the relationship between dieting, weight loss, and health outcomes. The researchers reviewed 21 previously published randomized controlled trials that examined weight loss diets with a follow-up period of at least 2 years. They investigated health outcomes including total cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and fasting blood glucose.

Poll: NC opposing constitutional ban on gay unions
Originally printed 11/10/2011 (Issue 1945 - Between The Lines News)
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP)-A statewide poll finds virtually no change in North Carolina residents' opinions seven months ahead of an election that would amend the constitution to ban same-sex unions.
An Elon University poll released Monday presents public opinion in North Carolina as consistent since February. Fifty-seven percent oppose changing the state constitution to permanently bar same-sex couples from marriage rights, a figure almost identical to Elon poll results in September and February.
The General Assembly voted in September to hold a referendum on the constitutional amendment next May.
The Elon Poll does not measure eligible or likely voters, but takes a snapshot of general public opinion. The survey of 529 North Carolina adults conducted last week has a sampling error margin of 4 percentage points.

AbstractA simple, papillary cystic adenocarcinoma of the mammary gland with metastases to the internal iliac and mesenteric lymph nodes, liver, and spleen was observed in a 12 to 13 year old female black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes). Histologically, the tumor was aggressive, and lymphatic invasion was found. Attempts at virus isolation were negative. Other findings were bilateral infarcts in the kidneys, apparently resulting in acute renal shutdown and death, multiple thrombi in the right atrium, aortic arteriosclerosis, and focal interstitial pneumonia.

A Sampler of
Obama's Lies
Obama says he's never
witnessed or heard Rev. Wright's racist and anti-American rants.
Documents obtained by National Right to Life
Committee prove that Senator [Barack] Obama has for the past four years
(2004-2008) blatantly misrepresented his actions on the Illinois Born-Alive
Infants Protection bill.
The only Obama birth fact that we know
to a certainty is that he was born. To whom, in what place, when,
and who attended is clouded in conjecture, fueled by Obama's reluctance
to release his true history and the artifacts that establish its
Obama's biggest campaign lie was that he was not
going to raise the taxes of anyone making less than $250,000 per year.
He's already broken that pledge.
Obama promised his trillion-dollar stimulus plan
would prevent unemployment from exceeding 8%. It's been greater
than 10% and above 9.5% for more than a year. And, where did the
trillion dollars go?
Energy Lies
Wind and solar are going to replace
oil, gas and coal. You can't even talk about nuclear.
In his speech at a Denver fundraiser
yesterday, Obama repeated what has become a key talking point for
Democrats -- that the Senate "doesn't get anything done." That's a
striking flip-flop from Obama's earlier statements in which he praised
Congress' ability to get things done. "If we stopped today, this
legislative session would have been one of the most productive in a
Lets see. It's July, 2010, which means
Gitmo should have been closed about 6 months ago. If you were
actually gullible enough to believe any of Obama's promises. One
of his major campaign promises was to close Gitmo by January of 2010.
Of course that's now come on gone. Now, according to the New York
Times, it's unlikely that Obama will fulfill his promise to close it
before his term ends in 2013. Oddly, the pres has gone silent.
At a press conference in Mexico, Obama
made the following statement, "This war is being waged with guns
purchased not here, but in the United States. More than 90 percent
of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from
gun shops that line our shared border." What he didn't tell you is
that of the 29,000 firearms recovered by Mexico, only 5,114 firearms, --
17.6 percent of the total -- were traceable weapons linked to a United
States source -- NOT more than 90 percent of the "recovered" 29,000 as
Obama claims.
Obama aired a
television ad in Pennsylvania called, "Nothing's Changed," that outlines
his energy proposals while declaring, "I don't take money from oil
companies or Washington lobbyists, and I won't let them block change
anymore."The following week, The Clinton campaign accused Obama
of "false advertising."
Speaking in
front of the racist National Council of La Raza, Obama said, "When
communities are terrorized by ICE immigration raids, when nursing
mothers are torn from their babies, when children come home from school
to find their parents missing, when people are detained without access
to legal counsel, when all that is happening, the system just isn't
working, and we need to change it." None of it is true.
In announcing the passage of a U.N. Security
Council resolution imposing sanctions on Iran, Obama stressed not once
but twice Iran's increasing "isolation" from the world. This claim
is not surprising considering that after 16 months of an "extended hand"
policy, in response to which Iran accelerated its nuclear program --
more centrifuges, more enrichment sites, higher enrichment levels --
Iranian "isolation" is about the only achievement to which the
administration can even plausibly lay claim.
Obama lied about the withdrawal from Iraq. It was
clear that Senator Obama opposed the war in Iraq, but his promises
during the campaign have not been fulfilled. The man child has finally
realized you can't just up and leave a place that you've already decided
to occupy.
Obama routinely practices al taqiyya, which is lying
for Islam. Many wrongly claim it is only practiced within Shia
Islam. There are in fact several verses in the Qur'an which
condone lying and deception, and classical and contemporary Sunni
scholars have validated its place within mainstream Islam.
Obama describes himself and Benjamon Netanyah as
"friends," but body language expert Tanya Reiman says otherwise:
"No, I would say that is a very big lie, when they talk about being
friends… They don't like each other. I'm adamantly convinced that
they don't like each other."
Sometimes he just lies, because
it's what he does. His life is a lie.
Barack Obama's automythology,
"Dreams...," is so full of historical inaccuracies that it is
functionally useless as an historical source.
Barack Obama said, "To close that credibility
gap we must take action on both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue to end the
outsized influence of lobbyists; to do our work openly; and to give our
people the government they deserve. That's what I came to
Washington to do. That's why -- for the first time in history --
my Administration posts our White House visitors online. And
that's why we've excluded lobbyists from policy-making jobs or seats on
federal boards and commissions." -- a lie -- all of it.
provides more affordable coverage for the middle class, health insurance
premiums will go down, and the bill creates jobs are just some of the
most flagrant lies that Obama tells about his socialized health plan.
Obama didn't give up his lying ways once
he occupied the Oval Office. His habitual lying has actually
increased. He pretty much lies about everything. He even
tells lies about his lies. Follow Obama's medacious trail in
The Forum.
"In one year, the American people are
witnessing the greatest lie that is cleverly orchestrated by Obama and his whole administration. The lie is a potent aggression
that feeds the needs of people who either have not educated themselves
enough to understand the assault upon us all or the very poor and needy
who live to be taken care of." John Voight
Obama promised not to raise "any
form" of taxes on those making less than $250,000 per year -- that
promise has undergone a bizarre evolution. Mitch McConnell
recently said, "It's now official. Top Democrats on Capitol Hill
are starting to signal their intention to raise taxes on the middle
Obama says waterboarding is torture. That's a lie.

text: Ever since I was little, I have loved music. When I was little, the first musical genre I have ever listened to was orchestra. My mother heard that famous composers – like Mozart, Bach, and Beethoven – would be a good way to stimulate my brain at a young age. And I would like to say it did. At a young age, I was ahead of my classes in school and started my upcoming academic year successful I don't know if it was the music that helped, but I will say that when I was little, it was very soothing to the ears. In my teens, I went through a depressive state of mind. My parents were constantly arguing and I felt like I wasn't helping. To escape my depression, I turned to music. This time it was rock. My cousin bought me an old MP4 player on my 10th birthday and before he gave it to me, he put songs from bands like, "Simple Plan", "Green Day", and "Blink 182" on it. When I listened to them play their music and talk about how they weren't treated fairly, I felt like the bands understood what I was going through and I immediately fell in love, however, it wasn't just with rock. Over time, I started to develop more taste in music. found it interesting how there were so many unique patterns music can follow. like its own unique system that discarded all of the other rules that were made in the past and kept on making new ones. So, if I had to make anything a living, it would be playing music. Music is what changed my life. It changed my sense of being and I am better for it. Of course, for people to hear my music I would have to work hard. I would have to spend countless hours studying the mechanics behind the music and make sure I know everything I can learn about music. I would go to teachers and tutors so they can help me learn different arranges of musical instruments, and hopefully, from my music, people will find what they've been searching for in the end.

Peanut-Red Chile BBQ Sauce Recipe
Here is a nice twist on a delicious favorite BBQ sauce. This barbecue sauce is great on grilled chicken or try making some homemade chicken skewers or kabobs using this Peanut-Red Chile Barbecue Sauce Recipe. Once you have made the barbecue sauce you will want to baste your chicken in the sauce before grilling and during the grilling process. It can also be used as a chicken marinade and bake your chicken in your home oven until done.
Peanut-Red Chile BBQ Sauce Recipe
1 tablespoon canola oil (or use vegetable oil)
3″ long piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped into small pieces
1 1/2 cups of your favorite barbecue sauce (store bought or homemade)
2 cups low-sodium chicken stock/broth
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/4 cup creamy smooth peanut butter (all natural peanut butter is best)
2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo puree
2 tablespoons smooth light honey
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
In a large sauce pan over medium to medium-high heat, heat up the canola oil and then stir in the chopped ginger and simmer until the ginger is soft. Turn up the heat a little bit and stir in the barbecue sauce, chicken stock and cook until the mixture cooks down by 50%. Stir in the soy sauce, smooth peanut butter, chipotle puree and the smooth honey and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes or until it has thickened.
With the sweet and savory seasonings along with the peanut butter, you will have a taste sensation unlike any other sauce. You can make it spicy by adding in some additional red chile peppers or using a spicy barbeque sauce as your base.

Proteins have a generic tendency to convert from their soluble states into insoluble highly structured aggregates known as amyloid fibrils. Since these aggregates are toxic to the cells, especially in the form of early forming oligomers, the cellular machinery has evolved, among other requirements, to inhibit uncontrolled protein aggregation. Failure to inhibit protein aggregation often results in pathology. To date, a large number of very diverse human diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease and type II diabetes, have been recognised to be associated with the formation of amyloid fibrils or protein inclusions with amyloid-like properties. Amyloid fibril formation is also exploited by living organisms for the formation of fibrillar structures with specific biological functions, provided that this occurs under controlled conditions. Finally, the recent findings that the inclusion bodies formed after overexpression of heterologous proteins in bacteria are amyloid-like in structure and the increasing awareness that an enormous number of novel materials based on the amyloid motif can be constructed has expanded the interest of amyloid formation to biotechnology.
The research of this lab uses a multi angle approach to investigate the mechanisms by which soluble proteins assemble into ordered aggregates and by which the resulting aggregates cause cell dysfunction. Here is a list of past and ongoing projects:
- Study, at a molecular level, of the process by which native proteins convert into partially folded states necessary to initiate aggregation
- Study, in molecular depth, of the conversion of partially folded states of proteins into amyloid fibrils and their precursor oligomers
- Study of the relationship between structure and toxicity of protein oligomers
- Investigation of molecular chaperones as inhibitors of the toxicity of protein oligomers
- Investigation of small molecules as inhibitors on the formation and toxicity of protein oligomers
- Study, at a molecular level, of the process of native-like aggregation, involving directly the folded state of a protein
- Study of the effect of agents of the extracellular matrix, such as glycosamynoglycans, on the formation of amyloid fibrils, precursor oligomers and their toxicity
- Editing of mathematical algorithms able to predict fundamental aspects of protein aggregation in vitro and in vivo
- Elucidation of protein oligomers on neuronal function of primary neurons and rat brains
In addition to classical molecular biology and biochemical techniques for manipulation/mutation of genes and purification of their resulting proteins, the experimental work involves the utilisation of biophysical techniques for the characterisation of the folding and aggregation processes. These include turbidometry, fluorescence, circular dichroism and Fourier-transform infra-red spectroscopies, static and dynamic light scattering, stopped-flow devices. Studies of the interaction of protein aggregates with cells are based on the utilisation of cell cultures and specific protocols to assess their viability, oxidative stress and calcium homeostasis. Confocal microscopy and FACS are widely used. Projects involving nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), atomic force microscopy (AFM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), mass spectrometry (MS) and limited proteolysis are feasible through established collaborations.

Global coal: China coal demand falls for 12 months on the trot as US coal production plummets
We report on how the world's largest coal consuming country keeps consuming less and less coal. According to an Energydesk analysis of industry statistics, China's 'implied coal demand' – the sum of production and net imports – has fallen by 10% in the past year.
The news comes as reports in China suggested that 80% of coal companies made a loss in the first half of the year with some facing bankruptcy. It's not all bleak in the Chinese economy though, production of 'new energy vehicles' including hybrid and electric cars rose to 24,500 in August – that's 372% more than last year if you are counting.
Over in the U.S. the Energy Information Administration lowered its outlook for coal production for a seventh time this year, projecting that output will slide to levels not seen since the mid-1980s.
However there is some 'good' news for the embattled sector. A Dutch court on Wednesday said an environmental licence issued for a major new coal-fired plant built by RWE was granted properly, removing the last hurdle to operating the 3 billion euro ($3.36 billion) plant at full capacity.
Nuclear power: UK finance minister gets sums wrong on Hinkley, FT calls for project to be abandoned
We report claims by UK Chancellor George Osborne that the UK taxpayer would have no financial exposure to the Hinkley Point C nuclear project, and that nuclear power is cheaper than onshore wind which are – at best – confused. Our story comes as the Times suggests the final cost of the project could come to £40bn and the FT arguesministers should use delays in the project to re-examine the entire thing suggesting other low-carbon options are falling in price.
Meanwhile in France Deutsche Welle reports a nuclear phase-out may be on the cards as the traditionally strong French nuclear power industry continues to be plagued by technical and financial difficulties and in Germany EON has abandoned plans to spin off its nuclear power business in the face of government concerns it was trying to limit it's liabilities.
Oil markets: Oil prices, oil production, energy stocks fall amidst problems for frackers, North Sea
Bloomberg reports that the collapse of oil prices will have a slightly bigger impact on U.S. crude production this year and the next than previously estimated with shale drillers having sidelined around half their rigs in response.
In the UK the Telegraph notes that falling oil prices could lead to the closure of 140 fields in the North Sea over the next five years as operators accelerate plans for decommissioning amid drastic cost cutting. The low oil – and coal – price has also seen energy stocks lose value on global exchanges seeing the US market close down yesterday.
Carbon capture & fracking: Energy firms face bill for new technology, environmentalist backs fracking, but with CCS
The FT reports that oil and gas companies could be forced to pay millions of pounds to help combat climate change under a "polluter pays" plan debated in Britain's Parliament designed to fund the expansion of carbon capture and storage.
The news comes as the BBC reports on a new study which suggests a new technique for securing and storing carbon dioxide could help to unlock the North Sea's "vast" CO2 storage potential and the FT's Pilita Clark investigates the efforts to deliver CCS so far.
The renewed interest in CCS came as leading environmentalist Baroness Worthington called on green groups to rethink their opposition to fracking – but said it should only take place if the emissions were captured and stored.
"We have to be realistic," she told BBC News. "We are going to be using gas for a long time because of the huge role it plays for heating homes and for industry.
"The important thing is to minimize the carbon emissions from gas. That means if we can get our own fracked gas, it's better to use that than importing gas that's been compressed at great energy cost somewhere else."
Climate change: EU could face climate refugees if climate talks fail
Jean-Claude Juncker, the European Commission President, has called for the world to sign an ambitious deal to tackle climate change this year, and warned rising temperatures could worsen the migrant crisis Europe is currently facing. His calls echo the French President Francois Hollande who said there could be millions of climate refugees in future if climate change isn't tackled.

We posted an item on Monday about Rima Fakih, 24, who was billed as the first Arab-American and Muslim Miss USA.
Most sites hedged their bets a bit on whether she was indeed the first, since such records are a little sketchy.
One of our readers, who goes by the name, amazboudi, points out correctly that Julie Hayek, whose father is Lebanese, was the first Arab-American Miss USA, representing California in 1983, and was first runner-up in the Miss Universe contest.
She went on to become a well-known actress, appearing in Dallas, Twin Peaks and other TV shows and films.
Our rather limited research did not determine whether she is Muslim, which was the other part of the "first" claim for Fakih. Hayek's Wikipedia entry, for what it's worth, says her father was Lebanese Christian. Perhaps a reader can inform us.
Here is a link to what has been billed as Hayek's official website, but who can tell anymore? And here is a video of her winning the title in 1983.
Correction on 5/20/10: Hayek is NOT Arab-American. She tells us in an email that her father is half Czech and half-German and her mother is half Norwegian. She says that Hayek is a popular Czech and Lebanese name. In other words, we got it wrong and apologize for the error.

Doing what I love and making it count.
If I could do what I love for a living, it would honestly be to dance, To be a choreographer. I love to make people smile. To make others happy, while also making myself happy. And it doesn't matter who you are, you cannot help but smile when you hear an upbeat song and see a group of people moving to each beat and rhythm in unison. There is just something about watching people dance that makes people forget their worries and cares just for a few minutes, you live in that moment of movement, of freedom. And everyone in the world has a dream of freedom, of being worry-free, of living in a changed world, a positive world. And that is what dance does. It gives you those few moments of living in a changed world, a free world, a positive world…. Even it is only for a few minutes at a time. So, let me ask you… What better way is there to earn a living than being that one person who can change the world for so many through dance? I cannot imagine a more fulfilling career or lifestyle myself. A life filled with constant smiles, music, movement and happiness. I know it would make my world a better place.

Wider e-cigarette regulations remain in play in Minnesota as state panel defeats move to pare back bill
ST. PAUL, Minnesota
May 5, 2014
(Associated Press)
– Wider e-cigarette regulations remain in play as Minn. panel defeats move to pare bill back
Supporters of defining electronic cigarettes in the same light as traditional tobacco products won a key round Monday in the Minnesota Legislature.
By an 11-8 vote, lawmakers pushing for tough regulations on the fast-spreading devices defeated an effort to pare back their bill. The Senate Finance Committee sent a bill putting the e-cigarette devices under the indoor air act to the floor for a vote. If it became law, it would mean e-cigarettes would be barred wherever standard smokes aren't allowed.
"It just asks that the risks that are unknown are not imposed on other people in public places," said Sen. Kathy Sheran, DFL-Mankato.
E-cigarettes are thin, cylindrical devices that heat a liquid nicotine solution that users inhale. Unlike regular cigarettes, they don't emit smoke or tar, but there is debate over whether the vapor is clean or laden with chemicals on the way out. The Food and Drug Administration is conducting studies on e-cigarettes but has given no indication of when the findings will be ready.
The vote to preserve wider use restrictions split more along geographic lines than party lines. Another showdown is expected when the bill hits the floor, which could be this week.
"I'm not sure I'm willing to call this activity smoking at this point," said Sen. John Pederson, R-St. Cloud.
Opponents of the strict regulations said lawmakers shouldn't get so far ahead of the science. Gov. Mark Dayton has said he would sign a bill to restrict children's ability to buy e-cigarettes and to keep them out of schools, but he has said plans to make them subject to the indoor air law could go too far.
The House e-cigarettes bill is confined to provisions meant to prevent access by minors. A vote on that measure could come at any time.

Keys to success
Westra credits his employees, many who have been working at Vermont Custom Cabinetry since it was founded, for its success. He referred to them as true artists and repeatedly praised their work ethic. Without their talents, Westra doubts that Vermont Custom Cabinetry would even be in business.
When Westra bought the business, the lack of an Internet presence was glaring. The Web site, www.vermont cabinetry.com, was added about a year ago and gives the business legitimacy, Westra said.
"We had to get something up and it had to look professional. It has really enabled us to go out and market our business," he said. "We've also started to do a little bit of advertising in Vermont Life [a quarterly magazine published by the state of Vermont], which promotes our Web site. A customer can find a list of dealers on our Web site, and once they get together, the design and order process begins."
In the two years that Westra has owned the business, orders have increased enough to justify the employment of 11 full-time and three part-time workers. Westra says he's following a simple formula.
"It's our attention to detail," he said. "Our first priority is to give customers exactly what they're looking for. We had a woman come in a few months ago with an antique drawer, painted with milk paint; it was like a mustard-yellow over red with a rub through on it. We're very ecumenical. Whatever you like is beautiful. We keep our personal opinions to ourselves. They had already tried Wood Mode, which couldn't re-create the finish. We don't do milk paint, everything is conversion varnish, but we'll try to give the look.
"We made a sample and got approval. We delivered it on a Saturday; she called on Monday morning just to tell us how beautiful it was. Our finish suppliers are Bradley Labs in Brattleboro, [Vt]. They sell nationally but they're only 20 minutes away, so when we need to do custom colors, I can run down there and give them a sample and they'll turn it around in a few days."
Staying put?
Westra didn't foresee the day when he would own a cabinet shop but he knew he would at some point buy his own business. As it turns out, he's having a really good time running a cabinet shop.
"It's an incredibly enjoyable business because it's a beautiful product, something you can be proud of. Your customers love it. When you show up, it's Christmas, so in that way it is very rewarding."
The question has to be asked, though — if he hasn't stayed put in one place during a 26-year span, why is Vermont Custom Cabinetry going to be any different?
"This is what I am going to do until I retire," said Westra. "It's the quality of life and it's close to home. It's also a chance to take everything you have learned over the past 30 years at all these businesses and put it to use in your own business. Previous businesses I did not own; this is the first time and place where I am out on my own. It's about time that I put the money where my mouth is."

Gene Carries Increased Risk of Refractory Celiac Disease

Celiac.com 01/03/2008 - It's pretty well documented that HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 sereotypes are closely associated with celiac disease. Patients who test positive for both sereotypes are at much greater risk for developing celiac disease. Celiac disease is closely associated with the presence of HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8, and has also been tied to variations in the MY09B gene on the 19th chromosome.
Homozygosity is the condition of having two identical genes, of many possible combinations, on a single chromosome site.
HLA-DQ2 homozygosity means that a person has inherited the HLA-DQ2 gene from both parents.
In addition to having a much higher risk of developing celiac disease in general, people with HLA-DQ2 homozygosity have a much higher risk of developing refractory celiac disease type II, and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. Refractory celiac disease is a rare type of celiac disease in which a gluten-free diet fails to eliminate symptoms and to reverse celiac-associated damage. Eneteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma is a type of cancer that often develops in people with advanced intestinal damage such as commonly found in celiac patients.
A team of Dutch doctors recently set out to determine if the presence of the MY09B gene carries an elevated risk of refractory celiac disease type II, and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma.
The research team evaluated 62 people who were confirmed to have both refractory celiac disease type II and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma. They also evaluated 421 people with simple celiac disease, along with a control group of 1624 people without celiac disease.
The team conducted genotyping of MY09B along with molecular HLA-DQ2 typing on all of the patients.
The tests showed that one nucleotide variation in MY09B was substantially different in the refractory celiac group than in either the simple celiac or the control group.
The allele in question is known as the rs7259292 T allele, and the results of the tests showed that it occurs far more frequently in patients with refractory celiac and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma than in either the control group or the group with simple celiac disease. In fact, the halpotype that carries the rs7253292 T allele occurs in 11% of the patients with refractory celiac disease type II, and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma compared with just 2% of the control group and 3% or patients with regular celiac disease.
Additionally, the results showed that patients who carry the MY09B rs7259292 allele or who showed HLA-DQ2 homozygosity faced similarly high risk levels for refractory celiac disease type II, and enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma compared to patients with simple celiac disease.
The results did not show any connection or interaction between the MY09B rs7259292 allele and HLA-DQ homozygosity.

Every congregation hopes to prosper and grow, both spiritually and numerically. Unfortunately, some members base church growth solely on numbers. When this happens, we are placing more faith in numbers than in God's word and truth. God is aware that some churches may grow in soundness and faithfulness, with fewer people, rather than more.
I'm mindful of the scripture passage in 1 John 2:19, "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they all are not of us (ASV)." This scripture is referring to those who leave the truth in favor of error. Sadly, in my short lifetime, I've witnessed a number of Christians who abandoned the truth. Even within the past few years, I've seen several families leave sound congregations and join fellowship with liberal churches. When I ask myself "why," this verse resounds in my mind. They have sent us their final message: "they are not of us."
Some commentators think they have a verse that teaches "once saved, always saved," but quite the contrary. They think that "if' they had been of us, they would not have left. So, they say, "to begin with, these were not really Christians; any true Christian cannot leave." However, notice what the Coffman commentary says: "It should be carefully noted that John did not here write, of the false teachers, "they never had been of us," but that at an unspecified, previous time, they were not. This is even more clear in the last clause, where the word is not that they had never been of us, but that they are not of us." Obviously, worldliness had influenced them to now deny God's way and leave.
The point I want to make is that when Christians depart, although it hurts, it might be for the better. John was saying, "what have we really lost?" You cannot lose what you don't have. Why? Because "they are not of us." Had they remained loyal and dedicated to the truth, they would have remained with us. If they truly loved righteousness, they would have remained with us. If they truly loved holiness and godliness, they would have remained with us.
Let me give an example of what I have seen. I witnessed two families depart for liberal churches. This is indeed sad, and more importantly, their souls are at stake. But why, why did they leave? They could no longer bear the "strong" teaching standard practiced by the preacher and the local congregation. They could not take the heat, so they got out of the kitchen. Who is to blame? Some blame the preacher and tell him not to be so "strong." Yet, the preacher has done nothing but preach the truth.
Some say, "We should be more tolerant." To tolerate such would be to compromise the truth. They left because they abandoned the high and holy way of righteousness and truth. In fact, one family compromised all of their supposed convictions regarding institutionalism and social recreation as part of the work of the church so that they could have their way regarding immodesty. I tell you folks, they left us because "they are not of us."
In vain, I've tried to teach some Christians that God will not approve of their leanings toward worldliness. One woman wanted to use her slang language and euphemisms and wear clothing that was lust plain lascivious. She had the audacity to become upset with other church members and the preacher because they "made her feel uncomfortable." "They act so self-righteous," she would say and, "They act so high and mighty," but the brethren were only being righteous, not self-righteous. The brethren were only being what God would have them to be. What did she finally do? She left and placed membership with an ultra-liberal church of Christ in the area. She left to go where she belonged. She went to those with whom she had more things in common. She was certainly no longer of us. Her mindset, her conduct, her way of living were not "as becometh the gospel of Christ"(Philippians 1:27).
When we understand this passage, brethren, it teaches that we should not be so weak as to think that the church should lower its standard of righteousness for those who have less conviction. In the case of the woman mentioned above, she realized where she belonged. A sound, conservative, God-fearing church is better off without those who try to corrupt and demoralize her holy ways. Ephesians 5:27 says, "That He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish."
I want to present the mindset of who we are. In other words, to be "of us," or to be a true Christian, one must have a certain mind. Paul told the Philippian brethren, "Only let your conduct be worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or am absent, I may hear of your affairs, that you stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel," (Philippians 1:27). 1 Corinthians 1:10 says, "Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and [that] there be no divisions among you, but [that] you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." We must have…
Although the church will lose those who "are not of us," we continue to pursue those who would be God's people. Jesus said, "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me" (John 10:27). Will you allow Jesus to lead you and be your Shepherd? If so, hear His voice and follow.
