Stand Strong (7 of 13) by Jim Perdue
This content is part of a series.Stand Strong (7 of 13)
Series: Jesus First
Jim Perdue
Colossians 2:8-15
We are studying the letter that Paul wrote to the Colossian believers. These followers of Jesus were being attacked on every side. There were some false teachers who claimed that Jesus was not enough and to their faith they should add a special mysticism, ritualism, and intellectualism. Then, there were others who said that faith in Christ alone was not sufficient for salvation. They should add the works of the flesh and follow the Jewish law.
To combat these teachings, Paul writes this letter to remind the people of God that Christ alone is sufficient for salvation and He alone is supreme in all creation. He reminds them to put Jesus F1RST.
In Colossians 2:8-15 he continues to support that theme by encouraging the Colossian believers to fight against false teaching and seek the truth. Here, we see Paul encourage followers of Christ to Stand Strong. READ TEXT
There was a man by the name of Earl Fleming. Earl Fleming was an Alaska State Biologist. I guess if you're going to be a state biologist, Alaska would be a pretty good state to do that. Earl Fleming decided to study the Alaskan brown bear. He wanted to study the born bear's reputation for attacking humans. And let me ask you a question, how would you go about studying the way bears attack people? I know there are some people that you might want to nominate for a study like that but you know as well as I do that's not allowed! So, Earl Fleming decided to investigate the only way he knew how. He would be the test subject. The only way to objectively determine how a bear would attack a human was to have a real bear and a real human. So, Earl was the real human. He had a theory and he was willing to stake his life on the belief that his theory was true. Up to this point, when a bear charge someone there were only two proper responses: unload your gun or run like the wind. But Earl decided to take a different approach. When Ea ...

The "Keros Hoard": Myth or Reality? Searching for the Lost Pieces of a Puzzle
Peggy Sotirakopoulou
Keros, a small, now-deserted island in the southeast Cyclades, became well known in the 1950s and early 1960s after a series of clandestine excavations―concentrated on the site of Kavos―took place. These lootings resulted in the illegal export from Greece of a large number of Early Cycladic objects that flooded the international antiquities market under the general name the "Keros Hoard." The cache was said to have included at least 350 objects, now widely dispersed.
This study features a review of the archaeological investigations on Keros and a catalogue of the objects identified as coming from the hoard. Also included are comparisons of the fragments in the Museum of Cycladic Art, Athens, and those discovered at Kavos during official excavations; and the results of the laboratory analyses of samples taken from the fragments in the Museum of Cycladic Art and in the Getty Museum.

Above, a A CNNSI.com screen shot from Cornell's 2010 NCAA Tournament Sweet Sixteen run last March. Below, some news and notes..
- Sport 5 of Israel reports that Maccabi Tel Aviv is in discussion with PBC Lukoil Akademik Sophia on loaning Jeff Foote ('10) for the season. Lukoil was the Bulgarian champion in 2010 and features former All Big East selection and Marquette star, Dominick James. Maccabi had been in discussions with several other clubs early in the summer.
- The Plymouth Raiders got their British Basketball League campaign off to a successful start with a 79-77 victory over the Worthing Thunder last Friday. Cody Toppert (Cornell '05) chipped in 6 points in the win.
- Former Cornell head coach and current B.C. head coach, Steve Donahue received two verbal commitments on Monday from Californians, Ryan Anderson and Lonnie Jackson. Anderson told EagleAction.com, "What really struck me-the fact that he took a bunch of guys with no scholarships that just work hard to the Sweet 16. I just feel like if he can do that with Cornell imagine what he can do with guys and talent in the ACC." On the same topic, the Long Beach Press Telegram notes, "Donahue... was hired last spring [by Boston College] after leading Cornell to three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, including a trek to the Sweet 16 last March."
- DLeague Daily reports the news we previously posted here on The Cornell Basketball Blog that Cornell assistant coach, Jay Larranaga will take the head coaching position of the Erie Bayhawks in the NBA D League.

I'm actually willing to side with New York Giants wide receiver Hakeem Nicks when he confidently told reporters in a conference call Thursday that he had no doubt he would be on the field for Week 1 of the regular season. This reaction makes medical sense, too, as our injury expert Stephania Bell recently reported Nicks' broken foot has been stabilized. Basically, there's nothing but positive vibes coming from the Super Bowl champion Giants these days for their top wide receiver.
There is some question whether Nicks can actually pull this off, though, and just how valuable he can be statistically considering fellow wide receiver Victor Cruz scored 44 more fantasy points last season. Cruz finished fourth among all wide receivers, and while his numbers seem awfully unlikely to repeat, the fact is that he's a tremendous downfield threat who won't simply go away. Could two New York Giants wide receivers really be among the top 10 at the position?
Well, why not? Sometimes I read or hear fantasy owners back off a certain wide receiver early because he happens to play with a teammate who is similarly productive, but as we saw during the 2011 season, that's hardly a viable reason. The top 20 for fantasy scoring at wide receiver featured four sets of teammates, or 40 percent of the list (8 of 20). Nicks and Cruz were among that group, but so were Green Bay Packers pals Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings, Atlanta Falcons Roddy White and Julio Jones and, believe it or not, Dallas Cowboys Laurent Robinson and Dez Bryant. I suspect if Miles Austin were healthy, he would have been in the top 20 and replaced Robinson.
Regardless, I have little concern that both Nicks and Cruz can coexist and star for the Giants and fantasy owners again. Instead of trying to pass by a productive wide receiver on draft day who happens to play with another quality option, I often focus on them. Would you really prefer relying on Kansas City Chiefs star Dwayne Bowe over one of the Giants or Falcons just because Bowe has nobody attracting major attention on the other side of the field? Not really. He also has to deal with Matt Cassel throwing him passes. I feel considerably better about consistent Giants stalwart Eli Manning.
Even with the busted fifth metatarsal, Nicks is a safer bet for fantasy reliability than Cruz. Yes, Cruz had an amazing season and is the one who piled on the yards after catch. Some look at him and think his numbers scream fluke, but as I argued during the ESPN Fantasy rankings summit, I don't see why this duo can't combine for monster numbers again, with a bit more equal distribution. Nicks has had injury issues in the past, and the three-year veteran hasn't had a season like Cruz just did, but he's immensely talented, the best in the NFC East.
If Cruz averages a more feasible 16.6 yards per catch, like the Pittsburgh Steelers' Mike Wallace for example, then his total yards would drop quite a bit. I expect that. Cruz was third in the NFL in yards per catch at 18.7. It will be tough to repeat, as it was for Wallace (21.0 in 2010), but is he a borderline top 10 wide receiver for me? You bet! I'm just taking Nicks first. For now, I've got them 11th and 13th, respectively.
Productive wide receiver tandems are nothing new to fantasy football. Not only do I expect the Giants, Falcons, Packers and Cowboys (with Austin) to provide eight of the top 20 wide receivers again, but I came really close to adding another member of the Steelers (Antonio Brown) and New England Patriots (Brandon Lloyd) to the mix. They didn't make my top 20, not yet. But look at their quarterbacks! They throw a ton and are clearly reliable. The fact they play with stars Wallace and Wes Welker shouldn't make one fearful for their production. Embrace it, because there are plenty of passes to go around, in northern New Jersey and beyond.

Fit low volume feet well
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Size Bought: 42
I have low volume feet. The combination of the lace system which allows for all sorts of adjustments and the leather that stretched to fit my foot made these shoes fit perfectly.
I used to have to call sessions short because of downsized aggressive shoes, whereas these allow me to climb so much more with so much less pain. These work so well for me that I don't feel like experimenting with other shoes.
I fit into a 10.5 or 11 men's street shoe, got these in a Euro 42. After stretching, the leather on each side of the laces has drawn pretty close to being able to touch (in other words, they weren't far from stretching too much). I think as long as a size works in terms of length the rest will come to fit after just a few sessions. I will probably buy this shoe again. If comfort is a priority for you, these win.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 37
I am a 8 in shoe size and the size 37 in La Sportiva was the perfect fit. They were very comfortable during my climb from the first time I put them on and I was extremely impressed with the grip I got with them. I highly recommend these.
Go one size down. Great trad/crack shoe
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: 38.5
I'm not going to spend time reiterating what everyone else has already established (and as is evidenced at your local crag), this is a great shoe for all-day climbing, trad, cracks, etc.
My other shoe is the Miura VS. I went one full size down (39.5 in Miuras, and 38.5 in these). I probably could have done a 38.0 as you can already tell these are going to stretch and my toes were comfy from the start. Luckily the laces make it easily to get a good fit while letting my toes stay happy :)
Awesome slab shoes
I bought these shoes for a summer of long multi pitch climbs after hearing they were like comfy marshmallows. And they did not disappoint! Most comfortable pair of climbing shoes I've ever tried. I would recommend sizing down at least one size because they do stretch out quite quickly. I'm a size 8.5 US and sized down to a 7 and they fit nice and snug right out of the box.
Fav Trad shoe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 39
I've loved these shoes since I first bought the purple (men's) ones. The ladies edition features lower cut sides for my ankle bones, very comfy. I have a fairly narrow heel but a wide foot at the ball and these fit the bill. This is probably my 5th pair. I usually go for a toe down shoe for sport climbing, but these work pretty well for me if I forget to pack the sport specific shoe.
Great Climbing shoes
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: 37
It runs a bit large for me. I wear 37 in La Sportiva Solution Vibram XS Grip2 Climbing Shoe - Women's shoes. I suggest go half size down for this pair of shoes. Same rubber material as the solution, very grippy and comfortable for big wall climbing. Shoes lace is adjustable to better fit your feet shape.
Will buy again, and again.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
These shoes are insanely comfortable and allow you to hangout for hours in your shoes. You really cant go wrong with these. These were my first shoe and though I'm looking at trying out some other more aggressive shoes I will probably always keep a pair of mythos in the rotation.
Side note: These will really stretch out. I have had mine about ta year and a half and they are easily a size larger than when I bought them.
Climbing Shoes are Comfy?!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: 36
I've gone through my fair share of climbing shoes over the years but I've never found ones that match the comfort of the mythos. My biggest problem has always been finding shoes that don't tear up my heals. The first time I put these on, they fit like a glove and I quickly realized that they wouldn't hurt my feet! They are great for all day wear, long multi-pitch climbs, or just a long gym session. I do wish that the rubber was more durable...I've eaten through my first pair in 5 months and am sending them in to get re-soled. Another thing to mention is that I think they run a bit large. I normally wear a 38 and ended up with a 36.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: 35
These are my favorite trad climbing shoes. They are so comfortable I can wear them all day. They are great for cracks and for slab. Fantastic for long alpine routes! I never take them off. When I first started wearing them I wore them in the gym - don't make the same mistake! It wears the rubber out quickly, and is totally a waste for gym routes - I busted the toe in a couple of months! I'll drag them along if I want to do some gym cracks, but other than that I don't waste my awesome mythos rubber indoors!
Note that they stretch A TON. I end up downsizing 2 sizes! (With ZERO discomfort!!!)
I eventually gave up on my first pair, but now have 2 pairs that I've been switching between as I send them in for re-soles. :)
So good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
These are just consistently the best. So comfortable that I can wear them all day without pulling them off after each climb. Great rubber and soft leather. These aren't the most aggressive shoe, so I have my Miuras for edging. I will continue to buy these. I wear 37's in all my La Sportivas and a 7/7.5 street shoe.
Comfort all day long
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 38
I wear a size 9(40.5) running shoe but ordered small to accommodate stretch. I bought a 38 and after having them broken in I would maybe only go up another half size (38.5) if I had to get them again. I've had these for about two years now and I can just slide my foot in without too much finagling. These shoes are great for long days of climbing outside. Not the most ideal gym shoe but they are just so comfortable. I can tolerate leaving them on between routes. Great for smearing. I've only used these in gyms and in the Red River Gorge for single-pitch routes.
Cant go wrong with these
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
Bought them for all day climbing and cracks and they are very comfortable when sized right. The laces all the way down make them very adjustable and Ive always loved the edges on Sportivas
Sweet set
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
- Fit: True to size
These went to a friends wife as a wedding present. Feedback is great grip; they love their new climbing shoes.
Great for everything
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
This shoe is not very aggressive which makes it very versitle and comfortable. I would recommend getting this shoe if you prefer long, sustained routes, especially trad, and crack routes. This shoe has a tough leather upper that will last a very long time and overtime will shape to your foot ever so slightly. Overall this is a great shoe for those climbers who like to get outside and get up high on the walls.
Love these shoes so far!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 41.0
Love these shoes so far! Recently took up climbing and have used them mostly indoors, but a few times outdoors as well. Fit great and are as comfortable as I would expect for climbing shoes. I typically wear about a 10.5 in women's for athletic shoes and the 41.0 fit great! Have stretched a little, but not much. I have narrow feet and the laces are great so I can still get a snug fit.
Rad shoes that don't hurt
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Size Bought: 38.5
These shoes are the bomb. I've been wearing them 3-5 times a week for the past month and a half, and I have only great things to say. I mostly top rope in the gym. I've only been climbing for about 2 months, and I'm doing 5.11a/bs, so I'm not sure about the edging factor of these shoes. I slip sometimes on TINY footholds, but that could very well be my technique. However, they smear pretty well and I have no problem with the routes at my level both indoors and out. They are the most comfortable climbing shoes I've ever tried on. I have long big toes that curve up a little, so I have a hard time with downturned shoes (i.e. the pair of Katana Lace sitting in my closet that I never wear). The Mythos are great because they work well with the geometry of my foot. The laces allow for a precise fit, and the rubber grips to the wall fairly well. I will say two things:
1. The laces are WAY too long! I have to double knot them so I don't trip. Backcountry, is there a shorter lace option?
2. The leather does stretch a tiny bit, order smaller than you think. I wear an 8 shoe (39 in birkenstocks), and I got a 38 1/2 in this shoe. I honestly have no idea if my katana laces are the right size cause I've only worn them 7-8 times (They kept skinning the top of my foot! These shoes were too painful for me), but the pair I own is a 39. I don't really believe in the whole "let's wear climbing shoes 5 sizes too small!" thing. Mostly because if I do, I can't climb. It hurts too much.
Bottom line- buy the shoe. You won't be mad.
SO comfortable and grippy
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: Runs large
- Size Bought: 35
These are the most comfortable climbing shoes i own. they break in in literally in minutes.
what i love about them:
1) long, adjustable laces - you can adjust the entire foot lenght, including the heel. You can also wrap and tie the laces all the way around the mid bottom of the shoe if you want it to flex more downward as needed
2)they are very grippy and flexible. They definitely give you full on confidence.
3) so amazingly comfortable. You can wear them for hours.
4)you can wear them with socks on cold days thanks to the adjustable laces/heel
Sizing: my street shoe is a european 36.5/US 6.5. I have the mythos in a 35.
For sizing reference, i also own:
Sportiva Solutions in a 36
Sportiva Miuras in a 35.5
In the photo i just climbed up to Lizard Head summit at 13,113 feet, Telluride CO.
Also wearing Mammut El Cap helmet:
It looks like you are standing on The Thing. Haha!
Thanks for including the sizing comparison. It's so helpful.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
For sizing I went to La Sportiva's website and read their climbing shoe sizing suggestions, and they fit perfect. I wear a size 7.5 street shoe and bought a 36. I climb mostly sport, and am working my way towards trad and more multipitch so I was looking for a comfortable yet practical shoe. I believe this is the one :) I've used them a good amount and love them, I'm confident they will continue to shape to my foot throughout their life and I will probably order another pair of these when the time comes. Great Shoe!
Great shoe for multi-pitch, but...
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: Runs large
These shoes are great for long multi-pitch days when you need to be in them for 7+ hours. Comfortable enough to wear on a downclimb and at all of the belay ledges, with just enough grip to keep going up. They stretch a lot over time, so order smaller, and push through to the comfort zone... eventually they feel like form-fitting slippers you can climb in.
I've gone through 2 pairs of these shoes, and plan to keep buying them!
The only downside is that they seem to fall apart really quickly compared to my other Sportiva shoes around the shoelace area. I've had them resoled twice, and they keep on for a while, but ultimately don't last.
Anyone else have this issue?
Excellent shoe, sizing has changed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I think it's pretty clear that these are awesome all around climbing shoes that particularly excel on long multi pitch routes. I had my first pair for 6 years and they were a great beginner shoe, the break in period happens quickly and it's relatively painless. I used them for basically everything, sport climbs, trad climbs, I even threw them on with socks whilst climbing in Indian Creek to add a bit more comfort.
The odd thing that I've discovered while purchasing my second pair is that the sizing has definitely changed!!! In 2009 a 36.5 fit me perfectly. However, a few weeks ago I ordered 36.5 and took them on a climbing trip...only to find out that they were absolutely gigantic! I came back home, went to a climbing store and found out that I am now a 34.5 in mythos. I've been told that since 2009 La Sportiva has changed their cobbler, hence the difference in sizing. I don't know if this will be of much help for anyone, since this was way back in 2009 :) but just in case!
Anyway! Mythos are amazing, I will always come back for more! My street shoe size is typically 6.5
I'm so glad you posted this review! I bought my mythos in 2010 - I've been looking to have them re-soled, but I need to take them on an upcoming trip, so I may damage them too much to be reparable. I was planning on getting another pair because my miuras, although also a great shoe, are awful compared to the mythos on multipitch trad routes. I'll be sure to order at least a size down to start. Thanks!
For reference for anyone else out there I wear a 6.5-7 street shoe and got my mythos in 2010 in a 37.5. They did stretch, so a 37 would have been fine, but I was looking for comfort for long pitches.
When will you get in another shipment of...
When will you get in another shipment of these? I am looking for a size 36 or 36.5
They're in stock now if you're still waiting :P

True Facts in Penn State Sandusky Child Abuse Scandal Could be Revealed Through Victims' LawsuitsNov 18, 2011 | Parker Waichman LLP
With so many questions unanswered in the Jerry Sandusky Penn State child sexual abuse scandal, civil lawsuits may be the only way the full truth will ever come to light. According to a report from the Associated Press, the University, former head coach Joe Paterno and others involved in the Sandusky debacle could all face varying legal problems in civil court, depending on the evidence produced during discovery.
In civil litigation, discovery generates much more information than in a criminal trial, because defendants are not guaranteed a right against self incrimination. The broad discovery rules could reveal more about what Paterno and others at Penn State knew about Sandusky's alleged conduct, and exactly when they knew it.
Penn State already seems to be bracing for the coming legal onslaught. According to the Associated Press, the university Board of Trustees has hired a high-powered Pittsburgh law firm. But some legal experts contend that, considering the types of damning information that could be revealed by civil discovery, Penn State might be willing to discuss settlement with alleged Sandusky victims to avoid going to court.
"You're going to see everybody pointing at somebody else to try and get themselves out of it,", a Philadelphia lawyer who has who has represented victims of sexual abuse at the hands of Catholic Priests, told the Associated Press. "When you've got 19, 20 kids coming out, saying 'He did it, he did it,' I don't understand why anyone at Penn State in their right mind would say, 'Let's fight this."
"New facts are going to come out, I'm sure, in the civil litigation," a second attorney said. "It's one of the reasons that Penn State and the other potential defendants may decide to do whatever they can to prevent that from happening, and people going under oath. It's very dangerous."
Sandusky, a former assistant coach at Penn State, was indicted earlier this month on charges that he sexually abused 8 children over a period of 8 years. Two former Penn State officials were also arrested on charges of perjury and for failing to report on alleged incident of abuse that occurred on the university's main campus to authorities. Paterno, who served as Penn State head football coach for 46 years, was fired by the Board of Trustees last Wednesday, as was university president Graham Spanier.
According to a grand jury report released by Pennsylvania investigators earlier this week, Paterno, 84, heard a graphic retelling in 2002 from a then-graduate assistant coach of an alleged incident of child sexual abuse committed by Sandusky in the shower of the Penn State football building. Though Paterno reported the allegation to his superiors, he did not pursue the matter further. Those superiors spoke to Sandusky, and banned him from bringing children onto the Penn State main campus (though Sandusky himself was not banned from campus, and he was also allowed to run a youth football camp at a satellite campus for another six years).
Sandusky came into contact with the children through his Second Mile Foundation charity, and some of the alleged abuse incidents occurred on the Penn State campus.
Pennsylvania state law enforcement officials said that while Paterno had met his legal obligation in alerting his superiors, he failed on a moral level by not doing more. The same officials also charged that inaction on the part of Penn State University allowed more children to become victims of abuse at the hands of Sandusky.

2017 Spring Musical
In The Heights
By Lin-Manuel Miranda
"In The Heights" is the Tony Award-winning Best Musical (2008) by Lin-Manuel Miranda,
the composer and lyricist of the current Broadway hit "Hamilton." In this exciting
musical, we encounter residents of Washington Heights -- a New York City neighborhood
on the brink of change.
In the opening scene, Usnavi - a first-generation Dominican-American corner bodega owner introduces his neighborhood family and friends dealing with the pressures of rising rents and closing neighborhood businesses. Kevin and Camila Rosario (the owners of the local taxi dispatch) struggle to figure out how to pay for an Ivy League tuition for their brilliant and hard working daughter, Nina. At the same time, Vanessa, a hair stylist who works across the street and Usnavi's love interest, dreams of escaping to a studio apartment in the East Village, while Usnavi dreams of returning to the Dominican Republic to reconnect with his roots after the death of his parents.
In Washington Heights, community is everything, and we see how this group of neighbors, friends, and family struggle to survive and then come together as a community to mourn their losses and rejoice in their triumphs. Over the course of the show, we see the hard-working residents of Washington Heights grapple with love and lust, identity and racism, all while the prospect of a winning lottery ticket hangs in the air, potentially changing the livelihoods of the people and the community forever. This revolutionary new musical combines Latin rhythms and dance with hip-hop lyrics to tell a captivating story about what it means to chase your dreams as you cling to your roots, and to celebrate the community from which you grew
The Spring Musical will be fully staged and performed with a live student pit band in the Main Theater.

The villa was incredible and just as advertised. It was very clean and well maintained. We will recommend this property to friends and family. Our assigned guest services person was great. We will definitely stay there again and are planning our next visit in a couple of months.
Fabulous view. House in need of updates, especially lower level apartment
Upon arrival, Niki greeted us with a cheese and cracker platter and fresh flowers in the living room and kitchen area. She let us know everything about the house and gave us a tour of the property. Explained to us that housekeeping would come mid-week to clean the home. The home has the most impressive views on the island. What a view. We spent every morning watching the cruise ships come into port and the daily activity of the island. The home is very clean and comfortable to live in. The driveway does offer some challenges getting in and out. The groundskeeper was very nice and easy to talk to and gave us a brief history of the home. Drew, the maintenance man, came by to get the garbage and make sure everything was ok in the house. Niki was very attentive to us and was always available to us to answer any questions we might have. All in all, a great week for our group with very nice folks to interact with. We love the house and views!!!!
The view has got to be one of the top 10 views in the world. It took my breath away. All the issues we encountered were minimized by that view. Extraordinary sunrises too.
We were not picked up at the airport despite arriving very late. We were given sketchy directions to meet at a stop sign on the road to the villa. We were met by Niki's husband who wreaked of pot. We followed him to the house. Chased is a better word. He was driving very very fast considering he had two cars following him on very dark, very windy roads driving on the left. When this man turned into the driveway of the villa he very badly ran into a retaining wall at the driveway and wrecked his vehicle. He then proceeded to try to back up into my son's car to get off the wall. We began yelling for him to stop and he did thankfully. At this point we are creating a traffic jam because the man is wrecked and halfway in the road my son is in the process if turning and is in the middle of the road. There is a car behind us and we can't back up. Niki runs into the road and begins yelling hitting and cussing the cars who are getting impatient waiting in us. Finally the car behind us backs up a little and we are able to turn into the driveway. The driveway is the scariest driveway imaginable. Tight turn and a bad drop off or retaining wall if you overcorrect. We recommend backing in not pulling in forward. It is on a blind turn as well. We had to have one of our party stand lookout each time we pulled out of of the driveway after almost getting t boned. When we ran out of detergent and coffee for our party of 8 we were told by Niki to go replace on your own dime. The robes were not washed between guests. I know this because I found a check in the pocket of mine from the last person that wore it and the check was not laundered. I pulled all the robes out of the closets and washed them after this. Niki called once to arrange a midweek cleaning of the home. I did not like her and I don't think they are professional or fit to be a concierge for this lovely home. The downstairs apartment needs updating and there is a missing part of the handrail at the bottom of the stairs that scared me and is a safety issue as we had two young children with us. Two of the outdoor lights at the pool did not work. The groundskeeper is nice and never bothered us but his room reeked of marijuana as well. Did not sit well with my police officer son in law. The view is spectacular.
This had to be the best stay I have ever had in my life. The physical location of the house is perfectly tucked away in the hills, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet close enough to visit the city everyday. The view from the balcony is breath taking, either from the pool or from the patio table. What impressed me most what how well kept the inside of the house is. The stunning white theme helps reinforce the vacation feel, making my wife and I feel like Kings and Queens when we visit. The artwork is beautiful and the furniture is both comfortable and stylish. I would most definitely recommend this property to anyone of interest.
I had the pleasure of spending my honeymoon here and from the instant that we walked in we were in awe! The back of the house is lined with sliding glass doors that lead out to the balcony space, this provides the home with a lot of natural light and panoramic views... We felt very at home here, really appreciated the cleanliness and upscale island style decor. We will definitely be back, possibly for our 1 year anniversary!
We just returned from a 2 1/2 week stay
at this home with another couple. Beautiful home with a beautiful blue pool on a large deck overlooking St. Thomas and the Caribbean. The house is beautifully designed with a large kitchen that is loaded with anything needed for a dinner party or a homey meal. The bedrooms are also spacious well appointed. The internet worked very consistently enabling me to stay In contact with my office or stream a video. We also enjoyed the paintings on the walls, done by a well known local artist. The house was clean and included plenty of beach towels. All in all, our stay was thoroughly enjoyable and we would easily recommend this property.
Villa Marti is centrally located and only minutes from Magens Bay, one of the world's most beautiful beaches, the shop-lined streets of historic Charlotte Amalie and all the other attractions the island has to offer.

I work at a site that recently implemented a tobacco-free policy. No smoking of any sort is allowed on the facility, and no tobacco of any sort is allowed on the premises.
On the first day after Christmas break, they held a question and answer session regarding the new policy and its potential impact (mostly penalties) for those who do not obey it. I was going through the notes on the Q and A, and encountered one question, which went unanswered; "What if I arrive at work driving a tobacco-powered car?"

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Hockey Points On The First Saturday Of The Playoffs
by Paul on 04/14/12 at 09:15 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Steve Simmons of the Toronto Sun,
• The Philadelphia Flyers traded away Mike Richards and Jeff Carter because they didn't believe they could succeed with them. And the Flyers are up 2-0 on Pittsburgh. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Kings, who traded first for Richards, later for Carter, are also up 2-0. It's a long long shot, and seven weeks away, but wouldn't Philadelphia-Los Angeles make for a fascinating Stanley Cup final?
• There is a movement being pushed by some NHL general managers that won't allow teams to "bury" contracts in the minor leagues in the future, the way the Leafs have done with Jeff Finger or Colton Orr or the Rangers with Wade Redden. And if that goes through in the next collective bargaining agreement, it will mean the Leafs have $15.75 million already committed next season in Mike Komisarek, Matthew Lombardi, Colby Armstrong and Tim Connolly, who were a combined minus-54 and are virtually unmovable in any trade.
• The fact the Pittsburgh Penguins have had the NHL's scoring champ in 14 of the past 26 seasons is somewhat stunning — especially when you consider that 17 teams have never had a scoring champion even once. The last Leaf to lead the NHL in scoring: Gord Drillon in 1938. The last Ranger: Bryan Hextall in 1942.
• Did you know that every scoring champion post lockout has been a Top 3 pick in the NHL Draft.

Electronic commerce consists of sending orders to a retailer using electronic equipment connected by a network to the electronic equipment of the retailer.
At the present time commerce is being carried out more and more using the Internet.
Two problems are then encountered.
This is because in the case of electronic commerce provision is made for the payments to be made also electronically, that is to say through the network.
The first problem is to provide security for the payer since the latter has to communicate his credit card or bank account number so that a debit from his account can be made.
The second problem is providing a payment guarantee for the vendor, that is to say for the retailer who supplies goods or a service to the customer.
This second problem is dealt with hereinafter.
A payment mechanism with a mobile telephone will now be detailed.
The retailer sends a payment request to a financial institution, the latter sends this request to the mobile telephone operator. The payer receives a short SMS message on his mobile telephone, he enters his identification code (PIN code) and the transaction is signed by a secret key recorded in the subscriber identification card of the telephone (SIM card). The server of the telephone operator verifies the signature and sends an approval to the financial institution. The payment is managed by the financial institution.
The drawback of this payment circuit stems from the fact that the authentication key used for the signature of the transaction is generated by and known to the telephone operator. This means that the financial institution cannot give a guaranteed payment to the retailer since the signature may be reproduced by a third party.
The lack of guarantee of the payment for the merchant is the major drawback of this mechanism.
A second known solution is the MOTO payment system, payment by Internet. The MOTO system: Mail Order Telephone Order, is the simplest system for making payments by Internet. This is because the system consists of communicating the credit card number vocally (on the telephone) or through the Internet to the retailer at the time of the order. This solution exists for electronic devices such as PCs and can of course be reproduced for transactions made with a mobile telephone.
The drawback of this method stems from the fact that the presence of the card is not proved by the retailer since the authentication of the holder of the card is not carried out during the transaction. In this case also, the guaranteed payment is not assured for the retailer. And unfortunately there are a large number of frauds in the whole world with the MOTO payment system which has just been described.
A third solution is known for payments on the Internet; this is the SET procedure: Secure Electronic Transaction. This procedure corresponds to a payment protocol which has been developed by a consortium of companies such as Visa, Mastercard, Europay and IBM. The SET protocol is dedicated to Internet commerce and provides a guarantee of payment for the retailer. This solution requires a logistical implementation which is very laborious for the server of the retailer and for loading the certificates of the payer.
The drawback of this method stems from the fact that it requires laborious logistics impossible to implement on portable devices such as a personal assistant or a GSM mobile telephone or other or on a new-technology WAP telephone.
Naturally a fourth solution, conventionally used outside electronic commerce, consists of directly paying at the retailer with one's credit card. It will be understood that this solution is not adapted to payment at a distance.
The MOTO (Mail Order Telephone Order) system is, as has been seen, the traditional method for making payments at a distance. Fraud with the MOTO system through the Internet and mobile telephone networks (principally for the prepaid market) has grown in a way which has been accelerating over the past few years. The payment card is considered not to be present for such purchases and thus the bank cannot guarantee a payment to retailers.
Only the standard solution which provides a guarantee of payment for the retailer is the SET solution for electronic commerce. However, as has been emphasised, this solution requires laborious logistical implementation for the loading of certificates for the payers and the deployment of this solution is still very slow.
All the payment schemes, in particular using a mobile telephone, at the present time present each of the technical drawbacks.
The solution proposed makes it possible to make payment for goods and services. It is independent of the channel used for "placing the order", namely microcomputer (PC) on the Internet or "face to face" in a shop, mobile telephone, fixed telephone, personal assistant or post.
The solution can also be used in countries for which bank credit cards are not yet very developed.
The purpose of the present invention is to remedy the aforementioned drawbacks.
The present invention concerns a "global circuit" for payment using an electronic payment device affording a guarantee of payment for the retailer.
This is because the solution aims to remedy the problems set out by affording a solution based on existing technologies but drastically limiting fraud in the case of sale by correspondence.
The solution consists more particularly of providing two keys for authenticating the payer, a key dedicated to the telephone operator and a key dedicated to the financial body. It may be a case of a bank or any other body, for example an insurance company. However, bank will be spoken of hereinafter in order to simplify, and bank key.
The two keys make it possible to produce two certificates, cert1 and cert2.
Certificates for the transaction mean a set of data unequivocally characterising the transaction and the parties present (in practice the customer and the retailer) and certifying that the customer has been authenticated. In practice, it is a case of data representing the transaction and the retailer (amount, time dating, retailer identifier, currency used etc) and an electronic signature calculated on an impression (that is to say a summary) of these data and ensuring the integrity of the transaction and authenticating the customer.
The certificate cert1 is therefore obtained with the key K1 and the certificate cert2 is obtained with the key K2. Hereinafter certificates and electronic signatures will be spoken of indifferently.
The telephone operator will be able to verify the certificate only with the operator key.
Only the bank of the holder of the SIM card (the bank of the customer) will be able to verify the certificate produced with the key which is dedicated to it. There are thus two certificates produced from distinct keys, one of which is a bank key. The retailer or the telephone operator cannot reproduce the certificate dedicated to the bank since they do not have the bank key. The payment is considered to be guaranteed for the retailer by the banking organization.
This requires the signature key to be loaded in a secure manner, for example in a SIM card, without intervention from the telephone operator.
The present invention procures the following advantages:
The object of the invention is therefore a method of electronic payment for a retailer using a communication means utilizing a network of an operator and a financial organization, principally characterised in that it consists, at the time of a transaction, of producing two certificates, one using an operator key, the other using a bank key, transmitting the first certificate to the operator and placing the other certificate under the control of the financial organization in a secure manner.
According to a variant, certificates are produced by a smart card and in that the second certificate is stored on this card.
According to another variant, the second certificate is transmitted to the operator, who stores it on a database under the control of and/or with the approval of the financial organization.
According to another variant, the second certificate is sent to the bank either by the smart card or by the operator.
According to one implementation, the payment means is a mobile telephone.
Advantageously, the mobile telephone comprises a subscriber identification smart card (for example SIM on the GSM network, UIM on the CDMA network, USIM on the 3G network), the network of the telecommunication operator is equipped with a management and invoicing server, the method consisting of:
Another object of the present invention concerns an electronic payment device comprising means for accessing a network, principally characterised in that it comprises at least two keys, an operator key K1 and a bank key K2, for producing two certificates representing a transaction.
According to the invention, the electronic payment device consists of a microcomputer or a mobile telephone or a personal assistant.
Advantageously, the device constitutes a secure medium with an electronic chip.
According to one embodiment, the device is able to produce the certificates.
Another object of the invention is a management and invoicing server connected to a network of a telecommunication operator for invoicing goods or services supplied by a retailer to a customer performing electronic transactions on the network by means of an electronic payment means, principally characterised in that it comprises means of processing operator certificates relating to the transactions, and in that it comprises means of putting under the control of bank certificates relating to the said transactions.
Other particularities and advantages of the invention will emerge clearly from the following description given by way of non-limiting example with regard to the accompanying figures, which show:
The example described below concerns electronic commerce with a mobile telephone. The solution proposed uses a SIM ToolKit (STK) payment application, that is to say an STK application program loaded in a SIM card.
The SIM ToolKit payment application program is loaded in the SIM card of the customer at the time of the card personalisation step. This program can also be downloaded using the radio network, this depending on the technical characteristics of the SIM card used.
Once this application is activated, the bank owning the card can format, sign and send payment requests by means of SMS short messages intended for the mobile telephone equipped with this card.
The transactions performed by the card holder (also referred to as the customer) are signed after presentation of the payment PIN by the customer. The algorithm used for producing the certificates and in this case generating signatures is stored in a program memory of the card. It may be a case of an algorithm using symmetrical cryptography with the DES or 3DES algorithm or asymmetric cryptography with the RSA algorithm.
It should be stated that, during a transaction with a retailer, the point of sale reading device implements two main security functions: the authentication of the payment card involving the card and the reader and the authentication of the holder of this card.
In the world of mobile telephones, the authentication of the bank card is based on a preliminary registration of the customer, this is performed once and for all. The exchanges which are made during this registration step between the various items of equipment of the participants are set out below and illustrated by
In addition, the authentication of the holder of the card is carried out at each transaction through or at least by means of the identification code dedicated to the card holder, this code having to be entered by the card holder. This identification code, also known as the PIN code (Personal Identification Number) will be referred to as the bank code in the remainder of the description since it is supplied by the bank to its customer. It may be noted now that bank key was spoken of, not to be confused with the PIN code, which will in principle be different from the bank key and which protects access to the bank key.
The functional mechanism of registering a customer is illustrated by
As has just been seen, the STK program is preferably loaded in the SIM card at the time of personalisation, by the card manufacturer. This program could be downloaded (Over The Air) on a terminal in any point of sale. However, the customer cannot use this payment application as long as it is not registered with organizations participating in the payment circuit.
The principal objectives of the registration are as follows:
The customer has filled in a paper or electronic form and has sent it to his bank. The customer card can then be authenticated.
The issuing bank has the responsibility of authenticating the holder of the card. Next, through the authentication mechanism which must be accepted by the two parties (namely the bank and the telecommunications operator), the bank must inform the telecommunications operator concerned.
The telecommunications operator is then capable of activating the STK payment application through a radio link. This can be performed locally (for example by telephone) through a dedicated STK menu and an activation code which may be the bank identification code (PIN code). The card holder at this stage knows his code and can then enter it from the keypad of his mobile telephone.
As stated, once registered, the customer needs to know the bank identification code, that is to say his PIN code, in order to be able to use it subsequently in order to carry out electronic commerce. In addition, this bank identification code is additional security in the method proposed since it is necessary to trigger the signatures of a transaction. It thus protects access to the signature keys K1, K2 stored in the SIM card.
However, in order to provide the payment guarantee, the banks must be sure that this PIN code (bank identification code) is not known to the telecommunication operator. The management of this code and of the signature keys K1 and K2 is detailed below.
At this step (generation of the keys), the end customer is not known. The PIN code is generally diversified using a master identification code generated by the bank 100. The personalisation centre 400 then generates the PIN code from the master code and a personal number of the card, namely the ICCid code (the identification number of the integrated circuit of the card) or from the IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identifier) code of the SIM card or any other possible identifier related to the SIM card. These codes are the identification codes of a subscriber to the international mobile telephone network.
When necessary, by virtue of dedicated software and the ICCid or IMSI code of the SIM card, the issuing bank is capable of calculating the bank identification code (PIN code) and sending it by electronic mail to the card holder.
A better solution derived from the latter can be based on a diversification using the master identification code and the telephone number of the subscriber.
Optionally, the bank code can be modified by the end customer (as is already the case with mobile telephones). However, in this case, the non-definitive code is in any event managed by the issuing bank and not by the telecommunication operator.
The management of the transactions will now be detailed.
A functional diagram of the mechanism for changes made in the equipment A, B, C of the three participants, namely card holder, telephone operator and bank organizations, is depicted in
The management and invoicing system 20 sends a payment demand (1) to the mobile telephone 2 through a server 21 able to convert this information into SMS short messages (2) or any other transportation protocol supported by the mobile intended for the mobile telephone.
The owner of the mobile telephone or rather the card holder accepts the transaction and for this purpose enters his PIN code. This triggers the process of calculating the two signatures relating to the characteristic data of the accepted transaction.
An SMS message is sent by the mobile telephone to the server 21. This message contains the certificates cert1 and cert2, that is to say the characteristic data of the transaction and the two signatures calculated by the SIM card. One signature was calculated with the key K1 and the other with the key K2.
As has been seen, each customer has two personal signature keys used for generating the signature relating to characteristics of the transaction. The data characteristics of a transaction are for example the amount of the transaction, the date, the time, the identification of the retailer and the telephone number.
To prevent the telecommunications operator from generating faked transactions, the secret bank key must not be known to the telecommunications operator. As stated, the use of this key K2 is protected by the PIN code within the SIM card.
The management of the payment requests can be carried out by the conventional MOTO system with off-line validation.
This is because, between the telephone operator and the receiving bank, the transaction can be carried out as a conventional MOTO transaction.
The mobile telephony operator must in addition store the data of the digital transaction including the digital signature cert1, in a dedicated database.
Provision is made for the telecommunication operator, in the event of any dispute, to be capable of returning the digital signature cert2 of the digital transaction to the bank of the customer.
The immediate advantage of the proposed solution is that the existing infrastructures for the payment authorization request do not need to be modified.
However, in the event of a dispute by the holder of a card, this dispute must be managed differently.
The digital signature cert2 is the proof of payment by the holder of the card.

Treating Diabetes Naturally
Diabetics need to use certain drugs in order to alleviate the effects of diabetes on their bodies. However, there are now several remedies and natural alternative to these diabetes medications. Some even say that these natural remedies help augment the effectiveness of the medications they take. Having said that, it is still important that whatever the patient intends to take, be it an herbal medicine or a diet based on raw foods, he or she should always contact his or her physician and seek professional advice first. Nonetheless, a healthy lifestyle will always do anyone good and trying these natural remedies for diabetes can help them combat this debilitating disease.
Diabetes can be treated using black seeds (also known as Nigella Sativa) and watercress seeds. The patient needs to take half a cup of heated black seeds and half a cup of watercress seeds (in this case, mustard seeds can also be used as a substitution) along with a one fourth cup of pomegranate peel (ground). Then, these ingredients should all be placed in a blender and pulsed until it looks like a fine powder. After which, one eighth of a cup of fumitory should be added. Every day, one teaspoon of the oil along with one teaspoon of the ground powder should be taken an hour before mealtime. This should be done for at least a month.
Fig leaves (which are traditionally used to cure bronchitis, liver cirrhosis, genital warts, high blood pressure, ulcers and other skin problems) are also one of those that well known in helping treat diabetes. With the fig leaf extract, patients may lessen their insulin intake due to its anti-diabetic properties. One can get the fig leaf extract by boiling the leaf in water and drinking it like a tea.
Another effective natural remedy for diabetes is olive oil. According to researchers, this wonder oil can help prevent diabetes by reducing one's cholesterol levels. It is recommended that patients drink one fourth of a cup of olive oil before bedtime. However, necessary caution must be taken before gulping this oil due to its caloric content. Again, diabetics who want to try this method should seek medical help first before taking olive oil in such manner.
Researchers have found that bitter melon, due to its properties that are similar to insulin, aids in lowering blood sugar levels, making it a good way of treating diabetes. Studies have also revealed that taking 100-600 mg of vitamin C every day can normalize blood glucose levels within at least a month.
Cinnamon has also been found as a good natural treatment for diabetes. According to studies, diabetics who take cinnamon have decreased blood glucose levels as well as the amount of LDL cholesterol and triglycerides present in their bodies. It is suggested that diabetics take at least half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day as this will help "soften" cell membranes. When taken, this substance mimics insulin and therefore it may help lower the patient's need to take insulin supplements.
