Whatever lies frozen in the ice, a mitten or a Buick, suspended as though floating upside down in the sky.
The fiddle music was over, so the priest went home and saw the ghost of his father sitting on the bed.
Late in the season when the ice gets soft, some drunk tries to cross at night and disappears.
Most people worry about saying the wrong thing, think too long about the darkness beneath their feet.
Wheels lock automatically when passenger doors are open.
She gave her daughter the red sweater and a key to the safety deposit box down at the bank.
Something that shouldn't have been there; a car in the same spot for days, gathering tickets.
Okies this guy even broke the LONG line rule! Ah Contemporary lack of respect for any rules!!! HAAAAAAha! See how he is giving you an INTHE MOMENT EXPERIENCE SIMILIAR TO A HAIKU?? yes! but THE ghazal ENCOURAGES SUBJECTIVITY [your imagination, fantasy, fancy!] See how he's BOBBING & WEAVING back & forth between reality & IMAGINATION!
How cool is that!!!
Here's a fun exercise with will give you a great poem!
Try writing what's going on outside of your body RIGHT NOW in 1 couplet then in the next What's going on in your HEAD!
by Gene Doty
The belt of joined metal plates clankswhen I take her hips and pull her close.
I make my mouth the size of her nipple;the Country's flag pops in the wind.
An alphabet of touches--press the letter O to your lips.
I hear her voice upstairs,her radio left on all day long.
Sharp consonants of the doorknocker,the dog woofs in counterpoint.
The body too will cease to be,become minor fragments, ashes and gas.
Whatcha THINK?? Huh? Huh?

A Container Freight Station (CFS) is a facility located near to a port, ocean or an airport. Consolidation and de-consolidation of freight shipments are carried out at the CFS. At the loading port, CFS implies to a location designated by the carriers for obtaining cargo which has to be loaded into the containers by the carrier. Similarly, at the destination or unloading port, CFS implies to location designated by the carriers of the cargo for unloading of the containerized cargo.
At the Loading Port: If an individual or an organization purchases goods less than the worth of container's worth of goods, then this shipment will be taken to a warehouse for consolidation in the country of origin. Here, the shipment will be loaded into the container with goods from other people meant for the same destination. This consolidated container is then loaded onto the ship for delivering it to the destination country.
At the Destination Port: The container in the destination country will be taken to another warehouse, where its deconsolidation will take place. Here, our concerned shipment will be separated from the other shipments. These shipments will be stored in the warehouse until the concerned people or organization collect these from these locations.
The collection of the shipments from these warehouses requires two types of documents:
• A delivery order, which instructs the warehouse to release the shipments
• Customs Clearance, which shows that a person has been given approval by the Customs, for the goods to be released to him
Hence, this concludes the definition of Container Freight Station along with its overview.

Freedom from CPAP: Sleep Apnea Hurts, the Cure Doesn't Have To
By David Dillard, Mayoor Patel
Obstructive sleep apnea quietly destroys memory, motivation, and even marriages. Jobs are lost, promotions delayed, and relationships strained. Performance and workplace safety is threatened, as is the ability to excel where the now-sleep-deprived once thrived. In this book, authors and doctors David Dillard and Mayoor Patel have teamed up to provide a uniquely comprehensive overview of sleep apnea from both an ENT and a dental perspective.

EHPRO Helios
Availability: In Stock
The EHPro Helios RDA is a relatively simple dripping atomizer that is made for dual coil builds. It's constructed of stainless steel and is extremely solid and durable. Each side of the top cap has 2 airflow holes that can be adjusted just by turning the ring on the outside. What makes the Helios unique is the positive terminal. It has 2 holes to thread wire through instead of 1! This makes it very easy to build dual coils, because you don't have to thread 2 wires through one hole! The posts are adjusted with a phillips-head screwdriver. The coil is mounted relatively high above the building deck, allowing you to use more wick than usual, so you don't have to drip as often. This also reduces leaking, because the air holes are also located relatively high up.The EHPro Helios is a great all-around dripper, allowing for cigarette-style drags as well as lung hits, depending on how you adjust the airflow ring, and is very easy to build!

Intergenerational Equity
Axiomatic analysis of intergenerational social preferences over infinite streams of well-being faces the following dilemma. Equal treatment of generations combined with sensitivity for the interests of each generation rules out explicitly defined preferences that can rank any pair of infinite well-being streams. Hence, either intergenerational social preferences must be incomplete or equal treatment and sensitivity must be compromised. This critical review of axiomatic analyses of preferences over infinite streams evaluates different kinds of intergenerational social preferences by comparing their axiomatic basis as well as their performance in simple present-future conflicts. The scope for application is discussed, using real-world intergenerational conflicts (such as global warming) as a backdrop.

Women will never have social equality while, on marriage, their identity is subsumed into that of the man. Not only does the changing of her name to his indicate ownership (its original purpose), but pre-marriage friends who knew her only by her own name are left to wonder: who is she now?
They have no chance of finding her in a phone book or on Facebook, of meeting up again.
A man goes though life by the same name. He never suffers such sense of disappearance.
Identity inequality is a subtle, but strongly discriminatory tradition. Women will never achieve equality of respect until they achieve this equality of social status.

Hello Portland CH'ers! Soon I will make my first trip to PDX, arriving early at 8am on a Friday (leaving Monday evening) and I just wanted to get your thoughts on my plan:
- Stop off (via cab) at St. Jack (caneles!)
- Continue via cab to Courrier Coffee (caneles!)
- Walk to Blue Star
- Walk to Voodoo
- Pondah's Pit for an early lunch
And then the rest of the weekend is up in the air in terms of timing, but includes:
- Waffle Window, an attempt to hit Pine & State, Salt & Straw, finding a food cart lot, Tasty & Sons (or Alder), Lauretta Jeans. I've also got reservations at Pok Pok.
On the maybe list
- Beast
- Boxer Sushi
Anything that I'm missing that I should make an effort to get to? I'm from Toronto (Chinese isn't so much of a draw for me). Let me know if you need more details. Thank you!

Small Wonder-Big Mystery
- Artist: Maureen Anderson
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 10/11/2005
|your cart is empty
About the Artist: Maureen Anderson - Songwriter Not only a prolific songwriter and a sympathetic teacher, Maureen is an accomplished singer who has performed live and studio sessions all over the world since the seventies. She has sung in genres ranging from Jazz, Funk, Soul, Blues and Latin, through to Rock and Folk Ballads. Her performance background has enabled her to absorb the essence and emotion of so many great songs, and this is conveyed through her own work. Her mini album 'Small Wonder - Big Mystery' is a collection of little life stories. Maureen has a First Class BA Honours Degree in Professional Musicianship, focusing on song writing and teaching, and is currently doing a Masters Degree in Songwriting. As always, she is writing, performing and teaching, and loving every moment. Who's Who: Maureen Anderson - Lead vocals, backing vocals and acoustic guitar Emily Baker - Programming and bits & bobs Steve Anderson - Bass Miles Evemy - Piano Andy Bray - Guitar Recorded & Produced by Emily Baker in 'The Bakery', Brighton, UK Mixed by Mark Flannery at 'Oakwood Lodge', Brighton, UK Mastered by Al Scott at 'Metway Studios', Brighton, UK Album Review: 'Small Wonder - Big Mystery' © 2005 Maureen Anderson 'Small Wonder - Big Mystery' is a little collection of tender stories from Maureen's life, from innocent, child-like ballads such as 'Free', 'I Miss You' and to earthy pieces like 'Get Over It', 'Warrior Woman' and 'Got You Out of My Head', that sparkle and electrify. 'Get Over It' is a testament of tough love from friend to friend, or maybe just looking in the mirror... The drawings on the CD artwork are inspired by 'Free' which seeks that 'stop the world time and place' often craved for... 'I Miss You' reflects on good times had with absent friends, and a sense that they will meet again... 'Warrior Woman' is Every Woman... 'I Got You Out Of My Head' - that great feeling of finally being free from a particular attachment... The soul of this music is touched by artists like Stevie Wonder, Minnie Ripperton, Sergio Mendes, Jill Scott, Angie Stone, Joni Mitchell, Donny Hathaway, and the Carpenters' vocal harmonies. It is a truly moving collection of songs.

New paintings and drawings about the sea
97209 Portland
Ultra Marine, Jaq Chartier's new abstract paintings, are meditations on the sea and creatures living in coral reefs, with climate change as her subtext. Known for her rigorous Testing series, which explores scientific methods through experimentation with paint and process, Chartier has found an alternate body of work slowly coalescing in her studio over the past few years. This work springs from her interest in landscape, the natural sciences (especially biology), maps of the earth, weather and storms. Chartier finds visual and investigative connections in the early cyanotypes of British algae and seaweed by mid-nineteenth century artist Anna Atkins, who was an early photographer and botanist. She has continued developing her own custom formulas of deeply saturated inks, stains and dyes for use in these paintings and drawings. As such, the work remains connected to her continued exploration of the phenomena of materials, and incorporates elements of nineteenth-century art & science, color field painting, process art, and minimalism.
Jaq Chartier received her BFA from the University of Massachusetts (Amherst, MA) and her MFA at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA). She has exhibited nationwide at such venues as the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art (San Jose, CA), Zentrum Paul Klee (Bern, Switzerland), Kunst-Museum Ahlen (Ahlen, Germany), Henry Art Gallery at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA), Berkeley Art Museum at the University of California (Berkeley, CA), Seattle Art Museum (Seattle, WA), and Bellevue Art Museum (Bellevue, WA) Her works is included in many public and private collections, including those of the Schwartz Art Collection at Harvard Business School (Cambridge, MA), The Progressive Art Collection (Cleveland, OH), and the Tacoma Art Museum (Tacoma, WA).

I'm sure that for many individuals this isn't something they worry about or even care to worry about, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot lately. You see, I have this Buddha statue that I bought ages ago from a dollar store. Yes, a total score... $1 for a pretty golden Buddha. I was pretty stoked at the time.
These days however, I find myself always aware of the statue's origins when I look at it and it bothers me. Not that it's from a dollar store, but that it was made in unethical conditions and yet I use it as a reminder of my spiritual aspirations. Obviously my statue and my aspirations are at odds with each other!
The answer of course, is not to go out and buy more expensive goods. Let's face it, they're probably made under the same conditions.
So what do we do? I'd normally say turn to places like etsy and have a local artist make it, but these days etsy isn't a reliable source of artisan work. But even if it were, this is potentially a very expensive route. One could argue that less is more and taking the time to buy one high quality, ethical item far outweighs the need to fill a space with several items. However, not everyone is of the less is more school. I know that it's not much of a motto in my world (I keep trying but alas... I like the sparkle).
We could always take the time to make our spiritual symbols/items. But if we're not much in the way of artists, then this is more headache than it's worth!
Obviously I don't have an answer. This is something that everyone must decide for themselves. But on my end, I'm working on a less is more motto, for what it's worth, or a handmade motto, when I can, because my little Buddha statue is weighing heavily on my mind. While I won't get rid of him as that would be a different type of wasteful, I'd like to keep future purchases to more ethical modes of consumption. You know, practice what I preach and all that jazz!

Mumbai | Decks were today cleared for the smooth release of "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" after director Karan Johar accompanied by Producers' Guild President Mukesh Bhatt met Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis and assured him that filmmakers would not work with Pakistani artistes given the people's sentiments in India post Uri attacks.
Fadnavis met Johar and Bhatt at his residence 'Varsha' here this morning along with MNS chief Raj Thackeray, whose party had been opposing the release of the upcoming movie as Pakistani actor Fawad Khan features in the film.
Producers Sidharth Roy Kapur, Sajid Nadiadwala and Vijay Singh of Fox Star Studios were also present in the meeting.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting, Bhatt said that it was "positive and constructive and 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' will release as per the schedule." "We discussed the unfortunate events related to the film's release. I shared the film industry's emotions regarding the entire issue. We are Indians first and then comes our business," he said.
Bhatt also said that they have assured the CM that neither the Producers' Guild nor any filmmaker will work with any Pakistani artiste or technician in the future.
Also, the (Producers') Guild will call a meeting to pass a resolution on not working with Pakistani artists. A copy of the same would be sent to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry as well as the Chief Minister, he said.
Besides, Johar has decided to put a special mention in the beginning of the film paying homage to martyrs.
"Karan Johar will display a slate of tribute for Uri martyrs before 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' starts playing out in the screens. It is a tribute from us to our soldiers," Bhatt said.
The makers of the film starring Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Anushka Sharma in lead roles, will also contribute a portion of its revenue to the army welfare fund, he said, adding "We owe this to the Army." Johar's "Ae Dil Hai Mushkil" had been embroiled in controversy over the past few weeks after the MNS opposed the screening of movies featuring Pakistani actors after the Uri terror attack, putting a question mark on the fate of movie, slated for Diwali release on October 28.

|Reviews for A Weak Christmas
| subtleshadeofgrey chapter 1 . 12/24/2009
Absolutely loved this. A classic hurt Ezra fic but still fresh. Good idea to check your injuries before escaping Ez... but a bad idea to actually get out of bed LOL Nathan's own brand of caring was perfectly portrayed and Vin was just perfect all round. Wonder if the boys will be helping Ezra find a new home, that's if Chris ever lets him out of his sight again - those boys are sending him grey before his time! And leaving us with a little Christmas mystery too - just what did Ezra get up to while the boys were away? Always love your fics & with this you're on great form. Looking forward to more mag 7 in 2010.
| sfulton229 chapter 1 . 12/22/2009
Terrific Christmas fic! Great whumping on Ezra and wonderful how the team rallies around to help him when they find out what happened. You did an amazing job destroying Ezra's home and car; he really doesn't have anything but the team left and they haven't let him down. Love how they each did what they could to cheer Ezra up. Poor JD got stuck telling Ezra that he had lost his car as well as the presents. I'm sure he found something to replace them. Very nice look at what each of the team means to him. Very enjoyable story! Thanks for sharing this.
| SivanShemesh chapter 1 . 12/22/2009
This story is written beautiful and i enjoyed reading it.
Poor Ezra, hurt, and his jag and home gone. Glad that the six was there to help him all the way.
You did a great work with your fic. Keep writing.
Thank you for writing it.
*Hugs & Kisses*
Happy Holidays,
Have a great day/night and keep smiling,
Sivan Shemesh

i tried getting the combobox to open on load, but it really doesn't look very nice in an always open state. ie, covers other items and distracts.

Simple Test For Babies Could Help Spot A Virus That Damages Hearing
About 1 in 150 babies are born infected with a common virus that can cause permanent hearing loss, but newborns aren't routinely tested to see if they have it. That could change if a pediatrician at the University of Alabama in Birmingham has his way.
He's the leader on a new study that found that a simple saliva test can identify babies at risk.

It may also be tinted by pre-mixing it with Sennelier acrylic colors. As a preparation for acrylic paints, one layer of gesso is sufficient. For oil-based paints, two layers are recommended.

High Quality Gesso
By Plein Air Painter
from San Francisco, CA
Comments about Sennelier Acrylic Colored Gesso:
I got the Sienna colored gesso. It was dense and highly pigmented. I diluted it with a small amount of water to help the gesso spread, and it covered the canvas with a nice bright coat of color. It's on the pricier side, but very high quality, so I think it's worth it.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Sennelier Acrylic Gessoes:
I have been painting for 30 years. Part of my passion for oil painting comes from experimenting - hence I don't want to use expensive panels for this but the less expensive dulls the colors. This gesso is tops - I use it on less expensive panels and paper to do small painting studies or large works to experiment with color and shape.I've used many gessoes and this is the best and easiest to apply with good working surface.

Brings out the Best in the Paint
By artcolors
from east coast. USA
I use this product on boards that I prepare myself. I thin it down and use multiple coats. It goes on smoothly and dries to an even, chalky texture ("gesso" means chalk) that easily accepts oil paint. Having used another product for years, I was surprised to find that this gesso actually enhances the pigment colors. The smooth, absorbent surface makes it easier to achieve the results I am after, and mistakes are easily corrected. Use of this product has had a greater effect on the outcome of my paintings than I anticipated.

Will use no other
By woodlands typography
from hugging the WY border in CO
While it is not the cheapest by any means it's worth every penny you pay for it. The tooth--I use it un-sanded--works wonderful under oils. The consistency is thick but is spreads easy; just add a slim film of water to the canvas first and spread away!I used this on top of factory applied primers.

Parks and Recreation Supervisor Theresa Jameson gave an updated report on the projects at Missile Park during an advisory committee meeting on Monday.
Projects completed include a new road on the north side of the park, installation of three new flagpoles, two new benches, painting of the main tower, and complete renovation of the east concession stand.
Jameson said that the park will have additional parking due to the removal of tree stumps, repairing potholes and by adding more gravel. "Missile Park is really looking in the best shape ever due to everyone's hard work."
Jameson also said her crew has been learning important information from City Electrical Department Engineer Mike Villareal on the transitioning process to LED lights. Jameson said the transition is time consuming, but both departments are working positively to complete the lighting project.
The next future construction project is the 330-foot chain length fence and gate at the entrance of Missile Park. She highly recommended Pro-Fence from Lawton for the project. Jameson said they were a family-owned business and had just completed a similar job in Wichita Fall, Texas. Their total price for removal and replacement of the fence is $6,500.
Several requests to rent the City gym were on the agenda. A request from Altus volunteer Darryl Lee to use the gym three days a week during May through July 2016 for an adult basketball league was tabled. Jameson had concerns due to the shifting of the gym floor, and also mentioned manpower and supervision along with wear and tear on the gym.
Approval was given to Emily Bush, Altus Public Schools Special Education Teacher, to use the Missile Park T-ball fields for the first three Saturdays in July for a pilot program called "A League of Their Own " for children with special needs to play T-ball. Each child would pay a $25 fee.
It was noted that City Attorney Catherine Coke will research the definitions concerning social service groups, and non-profits for the purpose of renting city facilities along with a cost analysis.
The fees and deposits for tournaments at Missile Park and the City Gym was tabled until the committee can do more research on the technical and manpower involvement required.
The City Gym will be rented to the STEM (Students, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics ) Foundation on June 11 for one day at the current rental rate fee. Students will learn the fundamentals of basketball through the STEM program.
The Missile Park "Paint the Park" project make-up rain date will be Saturday, April 23.
The meeting ended with a positive report of 424 registered for the boys softball/baseball program with a $6,274.69 revenue increase from the previous year.
Next meeting is set for May 9.

With the closing of its national call center in Kansas set for Dec. 19, the EEOC took the unusual step of warning the public that it will be harder to communicate with the agency for at least a few months. The agency called on employers "to be patient" during that time.
The call center, which handles all calls and e-mails to the EEOC's 53 field offices, lost its funding in an internal budget squabble. The EEOC plans to hire 61 new workers, but says it will take a few months to get them hired and trained.

PIGS - You Ruin Everything [LP 12", CD, Digital] SLF007
"When Unsane bassist Dave Curran started writing songs on guitar with drummer Jim Paradise (Player's Club, Freshkills, Hellno) the name they tossed out for their fledgling project was simple: PIGS. "We figured it was short enough that press and promoters couldn't fuck it up." Producer Andrew Schneider (Cave In, Converge, Made Out of Babies, Unsane, Keelhaul) was invited to fill-in on bass for a couple of shows and, much to their delight, has refused to leave.
The sound? PIGS sound like the last forty-five minutes of that interminable haul from Portland to San Francisco when both patience and air conditioning are long gone; like a petty, early-morning drunken argument in a gravel parking lot about the stupid, impossible math of how to divide forty-one dollars three ways; like when the left rear bearing on the van that's been squealing and then grinding for days finally gets hot enough to weld itself into the axle and the ancient Detroit Deathtrap grates to a final, shuddering halt. Pigs sound like three guys who have played countless shows in many bands for a couple of decades in several dozen countries and still can't leave it alone."

Howard Zinn tells the story of one of the most important political groups in American history. SNCC: The New Abolitionists influenced a generation of activists struggling for civil rights and seeking to learn from the successes and failures of those who built the fantastically influential Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. It is considered an indispensable study of the organization, of the 1960s, and of the process of social change. Includes a new introduction by the author.

Medical marijuana advocate Kathleen Chippi tipped us off that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives issued a clarification on Sept. 21, on the issue of MMJ patients possessing firearms.
And, as written by assistant director of enforcement programs and services Arthur Herbert, the bureau's not a big fan. Titled "Open Letter to All Federal Firearms Licensees," the letter states:
"Therefore, any person who uses or is addicted to marijuana, regardless of whether his or her State has passed legislation authorizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes, is an unlawful user of or addicted to a controlled substance, and is prohibited by Federal law from possessing firearms or ammunition," Herbert writes.
"Further, if you are aware that the potential transferee is in possession of a card authorizing the possession and use of marijuana under State law, then you have 'reasonable cause to believe' that the person is an unlawful user of a controlled substance."
Coloradans being who they are (read: gun nuts) it should be interesting to see how this is received. We'll ask around, and bring you more in the coming weeks.
Recently, we attended Butterflies & Friends, an auction of 31 metal butterflies decorated by local artists. For four years now, the Rotary Club of Colorado Springs has held a call for artists to adorn the butterflies, mounted them outside throughout town over the summer, and then auctioned them off to raise money for local education programs, scholarships and programs like the Crawford House.
This year, half of the proceeds went toward School District 11's Musical Instruments Program, Will Rogers Elementary School and Mark Twain Elementary School. The other half was allotted for the club's Community Service Fund.
Last year, between the live auction and items on the silent auction tables, the club raised around $40,000. This year, with the help of matching grants that number more than doubled, ringing in at just above $100,000.
As for the butterflies themselves, the auction prices began at $300 or $500 apiece. Many sold for well over $1,000; the most expensive work, "Winged Wildflowers" by the Pikes Peak Decorative Painters, sold for $3,800.
Other notables: Last year's Best Artist winner Rebecca Hyde, had her "Unbound" butterfly sell for $1,800; Deborah Nelson's mosaic masterpiece "Daybreak/Nightfall" sold for $3,100; and one of my favorites, the constellation-inspired "Zodiac A Flutter" by Lupita Carrasco, went for $900.
Most of these butterflies are now resting in private gardens, but some like Carole Reece's "I-M C-N U Bear" was donated to the Bear Creek Dog Park.

Today, the Denver Post's John Ingold put together a very cool interactive map of all the centers, grow areas and infused products manufacturers in Colorado for reporting on this story.
Big picture? There continues to be a slight decline in the number of dispensaries overall. There are now 736 with on-track license applications with the state. That's down from 759 when I did the numbers in May and from 818 in August, 2010. (Yes, this licensing process has really been that long.) There are also 291 applications for MIPs, which is actually more than there were in August, 2010.
You can click the above link for a full breakdown, but some takeaways include the fact that Colorado Springs, and El Paso County, have the second highest count of centers and MIPs after Denver (which we could guess). Less predictable is the knowledge that the ZIP code 80909 has the highest concentration of both in the state — 50. (Click here to go directly to the interactive map.)
Last night, at the meeting of the El Paso County Republican Party executive committee, Sarah Anderson resigned as secretary.
In her resignation letter, she pointed out that she will be leaving the party, but not the fight — she will be working a number of primary campaigns, a few in this county.
From her resignation letter:
I set out to accomplish two things as Secretary: the first was to fundamentally change our interactions with Precinct Leaders (something that is still a work in progress, but is significantly better than when I came in); and the second was to focus on reapportionment and the caucus process (accomplished on the first half, and the second half is left in far more capable hands than mine).
I believe very strongly in the integrity of our by-laws, and have grown increasingly concerned with the cavalier treatment of our by-laws by several individuals, who apply them inconsistently at best and only when politically expedient at worst, rather than fairly, impartially, and consistently at all times.
You can read the whole resignation letter here: Resignation Letter.pdf
It was concise and conciliatory, as was county party chairman Eli Bremer's response: "Bremer had this to say of Anderson's resignation: "Sarah is a talented, passionate, and energetic young lady with a knack for organizing and energizing her supporters. She clearly has a passion for politics and elections. I applaud her decision to move on to other political prospects and apply her talents where she feels they are best suited. I and the Republican Party wish Sarah the best with her future endeavors as she follows her heart in a new direction."
But this morning, Anderson's tone had changed. In a nine-page follow-up open letter to the county Republican Party (posted on her Facebook page), she took to task Reps. Larry Liston, Amy Stephens and Bob Gardner, as well as Bremer and state party chairman Ryan Call.
She ends the letter: "P.S. There is still some unfinished business from the Republican Party Waterboarding… err, Executive Session of 7 July 2011. Stay tuned."
On Thursday, El Paso County commissioners will vote on a deal to settle a lawsuit filed against them by People's National Bank stemming from the commission's denial of a plan for Independence Place at Cheyenne Mountain on the city's southern edge by the World Arena. The bank owns the property in question.
You might remember this controversial development we wrote about in June. It involved a a proposed roundabout at Venetucci Boulevard and Bob Johnson Drive that didn't sit well with the neighbors, including the World Arena and USA Hockey next door.
Place Properties of Atlanta wanted to build a 240-unit complex southwest of Venetucci and Cheyenne Meadows Road to serve Fort Carson, but commissioners rejected the idea on a 3-2 vote, with Commissioners Darryl Glenn and Peggy Littleton opposed, meaning they supported the project. Commissioners Amy Lathen, Sallie Clark and Dennis Hisey voted to reject the project.
After that action, Peoples sued, contending the denial constituted abuse of discretion and an unconstitutional taking of property without due process, County Attorney Bill Louis says.
Now there's a settlement in which the county will approve the plan and let the development proceed with a four-way traffic signal at the intersection of Venetucci and Bob Johnson, Louis says.
The city of Colorado Springs engineer has issued a letter of support for the traffic signal, so it sounds like a done deal. Although Louis says if the city fails to issue the permit for the traffic signal, the county is back in court.
Here's the city's letter:
But not everyone is pleased. One resident of the area contacted us with concerns that the traffic signal will only tie up traffic more, considering there's another traffic signal close by.
If you're interested in voicing your opinion, you can contact the commissioners or go to the meeting, which begins at 9 a.m. Thursday at the County Administration Building, third floor, 27 E. Vermijo Ave.
As noted in last week's Side Dish column, cooking classes at Conscious Table have started, and regular Thursday through Saturday night dinner service begins Thursday, Sept. 29.
While in-house chatting with the chef team of Brent Beavers, David Cottrill and Aaron Retka (disclosure: all of whom I know well) at a small, soft opening Saturday night, I got a sneak peek at the tentative full menu, including an $8-per-plate late-night menu that will run until midnight.
A few teasers from the late-night menu: a shrimp corndog with red chile ketchup and key lime mustard; Poutine (kettle fries, chevre, smoked peppercorn gravy); and veggie falafel tacos with herb aioli.
And from the entrée list (again, subject to change before Thursday): the Sencha Salad (featuring my favorite dressing of all time, a smoked tea vinaigrette); red curry/coconut Burmese Yardbird with pineapple tempura and lemongrass dumplings; and a Daube of Lamb "Pueblo" with Mirasol chiles and shallot oatmeal hush puppies.
A note at the menu's bottom reads: "We use exclusively sustainable seafood, natural, antibiotic and hormone-free meats and truly farm-to-table produce."
Without further ado, let's let five images from the night speak more to the meal and what you should plan to see from the culinary team. Click on each photo to enlarge:

Don't ever let anyone tell you that people in Cañon City don't know how to party.
Also don't let them tell you that Colorado has crap wine.
Neither is true, as proved by The Winery at Holy Cross Abbey and its ninth annual Harvest Fest winemaker's dinner, which I attended as their guest this past Friday night. (Seats this year were $95, which included tax and tip.)
According to stats tossed out between eight food and wine courses by winemakers Matt Cookson and Jeff Stultz and winery owner Larry Oddo, the winery is the largest by volume in the state, as well as the most medaled.
Marketing representative Sally Davidson says 60 percent of the wine is still sold in the tasting room, with the other 40 percent going out to liquor stores and restaurants along the Front Range, including prestigious outfits like Denver's The Brown Palace and Morrison's The Fort.
The dinner was held at the Shadow Hills Golf Course, where club chefs and brothers James and David Tracy matched food with a wide variety of the winery's products.
My single favorite course highlighted the 2010 Sauvignon Blanc Reserve, a surprisingly creamy and smokey pour aged half in stainless steel and half in new oak barrels, with 10 percent Viognier added in for a slight orange hint. That citrus really came out when paired with bites of sautéed shrimp and scallops in an orange shallot sauce.
I also particularly enjoyed an intermezzo of sorbet made with the winery's apple blossom wine, one of my seasonal favorites.
And carrying on the sugar into epic realms, the team paired a chocolate mousse in a pecan tuile with the winery's now sold-out 2009 Divinity Merlot, a super sweet, port-like dessert wine.
As for that thing I said about Cañon City people knowing how to throw down: The first sign of trouble was no dump buckets on the tables. The second was the big — no, HUGE — pours with each course; we're talking full glasses, times eight, so about a couple of bottles of wine per person for the evening. (Yeah ... I let the waiters clear my half-empty glasses.)
Delivering me the coveted quote of the night, one waiter, about midway through, leaned over me and threatened: "I will give you a sippy cup if you don't drink faster." I was too amused to be insulted. (And hey, who doesn't enjoy a good sippy cup now and again? What's a to-go coffee cup, really, with that tiny hole in the lid?)
I've said for years now that this winery puts out great wine, and Friday's dinner served only to highlight that point.
If the aforementioned wines don't interest you, check out their Riesling or 2009 Colorado Cabernet Franc, others that stood out for their style.
At one point, Cookson explained that he's truly taken customer feedback to continue to develop each year's wines. His philosophy: "Let's make it the way you like it."
Hey, works for me.
Westword is reporting that Kathleen Chippi's Patient and Caregiver Rights Litigation Project has received an answer back from the state, and the news isn't great. (See here for our previous coverage of the lawsuit.)
"The State responded by saying none of the plaintiffs have standing, because no one has a fundamental right to medical marijuana in Colorado," [Chippi] says. "They responded to every single paragraph in our lawsuit by saying they're ignorant as to how to respond, since no one has standing. And that's a reference to the Jason Beinor case."
Tomorrow, El Paso County Commissioners will decide whether to award a contract for remodeling Centennial Hall, 200 S. Cascade Ave., to accommodate themselves.
Of the five bids found to be responsive to the request for proposals to revamp the hall, GH Phipps Construction of Greenwood Village submitted the low bid of $720,322. Other bids ranged up to $855,743.
The project will revamp the former Clerk and Recorder's Office into offices for the county commissioners, budget officials, county administrator, public communications and the county attorney.
Those offices now are housed in the County Administration Building, 27 E. Vermijo Ave., which will be remodeled for use entirely by the Sheriff's Office.
It's all part of the county's shift of offices, including the Department of Human Services, Workforce Center, Public Health Department, clerk and recorder, treasurer and assessor from their former locations in the city's core area to the former Intel building (since renamed the Citizens Service Center) at 1675 Garden of the Gods Road.
The entire project is costing taxpayers roughly $50 million, which includes major energy initiatives designed to save the county money on utility bills for years to come. The county got the money by issuing certificates of participation and other securities without consulting voters.
Details of the Centennial Hall remodel weren't readily available today, but we'll provide more information when it's released.
The first installment in a four-year, $2 billion grant program for community colleges across the country has been released, and as U.S. Sen. Mark Udall announced today, $17.2 million of that money was awarded to Colorado community colleges.
According to the U.S. Department of Labor:
Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis and Under Secretary of Education Martha Kanter today announced nearly $500 million in grants to community colleges around the country for targeted training and workforce development to help economically dislocated workers who are changing careers. The grants support partnerships between community colleges and employers to develop programs that provide pathways to good jobs, including building instructional programs that meet specific industry needs.
This installment is the first in a $2 billion, four-year investment designed, when in combination with President Obama's American Jobs Act that would provide additional support for hiring and re-employment services, to increase opportunities for the unemployed.
The initiative complements President Obama's broader agenda for every American to have at least one year of postsecondary education and will help to reach his goal for America to have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world by 2020. Every state will receive at least $2.5 million for community college career training programs through this initiative. States without a winning submission named in this round are being contacted by the program's administrators to develop a qualifying project that will immediately receive $2.5 million.
From a press release from Udall's office:
Today, Mark Udall announced that a consortium of Colorado community colleges has been selected to receive a major grant to help train workers for new jobs in high-wage, high-skill jobs.
The consortium, led by the Community College of Denver, will receive the $17.2 million grant, which is designed to help community colleges create job-training programs in partnership with private employers in growing industries, including clean energy, mining, water-quality management, and oil and gas. The schools will build instructional programs that meet specific industry needs, strengthening technology-enabled learning, and allowing students and workers to access free learning materials online.
"This is a win-win for Colorado's workers and employers. By enabling colleges to work directly with private employers, students will get the specific skills that make them competitive for higher-paying jobs in growing industries - and employers will get a well-trained workforce they can rely on," Udall said. "Not only will this program help us put Coloradans to work, it will help strengthen our economy. This is the kind of investment we must make if we are going to position our state - and our nation - to win in the global economic race."
Besides the Community College of Denver, the consortium members are:
1. Aims Community College
2. Colorado Mountain College
3. Front Range Community College
4. Northeastern Junior College
5. Red Rocks Community College
6. Community College of Aurora
7. Lamar Community College
8. Otero Junior College
9. Morgan Community College
10. Pikes Peak Community College
11. Colorado Northwestern Community College
Last summer, the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs became part of President Obama's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge. Since then, the school has set up a slate of events, and they start tomorrow.
Hosting the first event, a panel discussion, is the UCCS Center for Religious Diversity and Public Life, with help from sponsors Campus Crusade for Christ, Colorado Secularist, Free Thinkers and Skeptics and the Coloradan Buddhist Society.
The public is invited. For more information, go here.
Here's the press release:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Helping University of Colorado Colorado Springs students who come from different religious traditions or who have no religious commitment find common ground will be the subject of the first event of the White House Interfaith and Community Service Challenge.
The inaugural event, featuring a local pastor and a panel discussion of campus and community leaders, is scheduled from 3 p.m. to 4:20 p.m. Sept. 27 in the University Center Theater.
Chancellor Pam Shockley-Zalabak will introduce Benjamin Broadbent, pastor, First Congregational Church, Colorado Springs, who will speak on the issue of religion in a diverse community. Jeff Scholes, instructor, Department of Philosophy and director of the Center for Religious Diversity and Public Life, will lead a panel discussion of how to address concerns involving religion on the campus. The discussion is a planned kick off of a year-long series of efforts designed to explore how people of differing faiths, as well as those who do not consider themselves religious, can work together toward a common goal.
In June, UCCS was accepted into President Barack Obama's Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge for the upcoming academic year. In August, Scholes and Peg Bacon, provost, traveled to Washington, D.C., to discuss UCCS efforts for the coming year. Throughout the fall semester, there will be weekly lunch meetings for students interested in a continuing dialogue around these issues. Students will also be invited at the event to participate in the Give! Campaign sponsored by the Colorado Springs Independent this fall and to help with the local parks services this spring.
"We know we have many students at UCCS who have deeply felt beliefs," Scholes said "We also know that we have many students who believe equally strongly that organized religion or even spirituality is not for them. How do we honor these commitments while attempting to bridge this gap in order to effect real change in our community?"
Panel members will include
Peg Bacon, provost
Kee Warner, associate vice chancellor for diversity and inclusiveness, Academic Affairs.
Benjamin Broadbent, pastor, First Congregational Church, Colorado Springs
Kristy Milligan, director, Citizens Project
Jeff Scholes, instructor, Philosophy Department
Caitlin Green, co-director of the Galleries of Contemporary Art at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, has left her position to pursue other opportunities. Co-director Daisy McConnell will still helm the galleries, GOCA 121 and GOCA 1420, and search for another to fill the position.
"Daisy and I had a very similar vision," Green said today, "so I feel so confident in leaving it in her hands."
Green explained that though she is no longer at GOCA, she is still committed to supporting local arts.
During her three years at GOCA, Green curated and coordinated many avant-garde programs and shows, including the highly innovative AWOL: Art Without Limits series of exhibitions and projects, which included the performance art Autoteatro Series by the U.K. group Rotozaza.
"Working at GOCA was such an honor and I'm so proud of the work we were able to do while I was there," she said. "And it was so much fun to do it."
Followers of this blog may recall that last week, the Denver-based organization — which bills itself as the only full-time professional symphony in Colorado — was in protracted negotiations with the musicians union in an attempt to cut costs by reducing players' salaries.
The CSA has since announced that the union agreed to a total pay reduction of $530,000 in order to help balance next year's operating budget.
In a release headlined "COLORADO SYMPHONY ANNOUNCES POSITIVE VOTE FROM PLAYERS," the organization goes on to note that (emphasis mine):
"Prior to receiving this positive vote from the players, several resignations from the Board of Trustees were received and several were tendered at the meeting for a total of 20 resignations. An overall sentiment of appreciation and love for the orchestra was shared by all of those who issued resignation, and several specifically encouraged the organization to 'be bold, be brave, and be different.'"
Topping it all off, the orchestra's musicians have agreed to play without pay this weekend.
"The Board of Trustees has prioritized their workaround implementing a balanced and approved FY12 operating budget," concludes the CSA, "and establishing an environment of donor confidence which will assist with advancing major gifts to help solve cash flow issues."
It'll be interesting to see how donor confidence is affected by the fallout from a half-million-dollar salary reduction for musicians who were already making less than half of what their Dallas counterparts are paid.
My guess is that a sudden exodus of 20 trustees probably isn't a positive indicator for a "bold, brave, and different" future. Well, maybe different.
On Wednesday, I attended a luncheon at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort with Convention and Visitors Bureau leader Doug Price. The purpose was teaching people in the tourism business how to sell, not just a hotel or an attraction, but a whole city.
I expected a dry speech and drier chicken.
But I was surprised. The chicken was good. And there was very little yakking on the part of Price, who apparently believes that showing really is better than telling. Kudos to him. Instead of passing out in my chocolate mousse, I (and everyone else) filled out a survey.
Since the theme of the luncheon was "Selling Colorado Springs' Unique Strengths and Benefits," Price had each person rate Colorado Springs against a competitive city (in the tourism sense). There were a long list of factors we had to judge, ranging from "access" to "convention center" to "nightlife." Once we were done, we added up our scores, than averaged them across each table.
My table judged Colorado Springs against Vail. Others judged Denver, Albuquerque, San Diego and Tucson. Some tables were more positive than others. Being a bit of a Negative Nelly, I gave Colorado Springs the lowest score at my table, just two points above Vail. Our average came out in the Springs' favor by 13 points. Another group rating Vail put the Springs 19 points ahead.
But other tables weren't so cheery. A table judging Albuquerque put the Springs only 3 points ahead. One judging Tucson put the Springs 2 points ahead. And the Springs was solidly in the negative compared with Denver and San Diego.
So what was the point?
"We, as salespeople, always want to accent the positive," Price noted. "But as salespeople, what we get paid to deal with are the minus-ones, the minus-twos, the minus-threes."
In other words, Price says, salespeople have to predict objections and address them head-on. Sometimes that means building something up — like that fact that the Springs has lots of great meeting spaces, even if it lacks a convention center. Other times, it's as simple as dismissing misconceptions.
"I mean climate, hello," Price said. "How many people still think you can ski here?"
At the close of the meeting, business leaders were asking the CVB for a cheat sheet that would allow them to show the city in its best light.
In 2009 we paid a storm water fee based on the estimated water run-off from…
Do not be fooled. The $5 monthly fee added to your utility bill seems innocent…

Former U.S. Marine Jon Hammar spoke with Bill O'Reilly Monday night after being released from the Mexican prison where he had spent more than four months on what his mother described as a "trumped-up" gun charge.
Hammar had been scheduled to speak with O'Reilly on January 4, but was unable to make it at the last minute due to health issues resulting from his imprisonment. He had been released just four days before Christmas, and that's where the interview began.
"I'm feeling a lot better," Hammar said in response to O'Reilly's inquiry. "I was dehydrated, malnourished, I had a lung infection, stomach issues, a number of things…I lasted the majority of the time without getting sick, but [in] the end is when I started getting a little ill."
The two then went over how Hammar ended up in prison, having been told by U.S. officials in Texas that he could cross into Mexico with a hunting shotgun as long as he filled out the appropriate paperwork.
When he got into Mexico, however, it was clear by the wait and bureaucracy that something was wrong.
"They didn't let us know that we were going to jail, though," he recalled. "They made it sound like we were just going to a place to pay a fee."
After being detained for four days his friend was able to leave, but Hammar was eventually transferred to prison.
When O'Reilly asked about the violence Hammar faced and whether he was forced to fight anyone, the former marine responded: "I think I did alright, cause I'm alive right now. There was not much of a fight….they roughed me up a little bit, but it was quickly resolved."
What was perhaps more difficult were the constant threats and phone calls to his family demanding money.
The U.S. Embassy was soon able to transfer Hammar out of the general population, and he began passing the time by reading.
"I read The Last Stand of Fox Company– it's about the Marine Corps in North Korea, and I also read the Bible. I read all the whole Old Testament, and almost all of the New Testament," he said.
Months into his imprisonment, Hammar said, he did begin to get frustrated with "all the authorities," but was quick to say that he got out in the end.
"It worked out without anyone getting hurt," he shrugged.
Watch the entire clip, which also includes Hammar thanking O'Reilly and others who publicized his case, via Fox News:

Triumph for Fiveways service station in Newry after it is listed in the Mid-Market 100
A family-owned Newry service station has been named as one of the UK's fastest growing medium-sized businesses. Fiveways Shop and Service station — which has been run by Colm Meehan (67) for the last 27 years — was among six Northern Ireland firms which made into the Mid-Market 100 list.
And Northern Ireland's medium-sized businesses are now outpacing rivals in Scotland and Wales, with more firms here witnessing growth, according to the research from Investec and DueDil.
Located at a key junction, where Newry's Armagh Road branches off to Belfast, Portadown and Dublin, Fiveways - which came in at number 94 on the list - posted turnover of more than £22m during its last set of accounts.
Father-of-six Colm Meehan, who is also a house builder, set up the business almost 30 years ago after buying a small shop. He told the Belfast Telegraph he was "delighted" to have been named by Investec as one of the fastest growing mid-market companies.
"We started as a very small convenience store over 27 years ago and have achieved considerable growth following significant investment in our new premises in the last four years," he said.
"We are grateful to our management and staff and our very loyal customer base who have supported us over the years in an increasingly competitive market."
The survey looks at the fastest-growing medium-sized businesses across the UK - analysing their growth in turnover over a four-year period.
Glyn Roberts of the Northern Ireland Independent Retail Trade Association said it was "good to see an independent retailer doing so well".
"And there is also a very strong link, not just in terms of supporting local employment, but also the relationship with local suppliers as well," he said.
SDLP councillor Gary Stokes said the firm's growth was "down to the commitment of its founder and his family."
Just seven firms from Scotland and Wales combined appeared on the top 100 list.
Meanwhile, Northern Ireland's top performer was Newtownabbey electrical engineers BI Electrical Services.
It came in 29th among expanding firms across the UK, boasting a rise in its turnover of 46%.
The other companies making the list included Belfast-based healthcare recruitment firm Direct Medics, along with CDE Global in Cookstown, Lynn's Country Foods and Cookstown engineering firm Tes Ltd.
As predicted, the London and south east England regions topped the list for the largest number of fastest-growing firms in the UK.
But the number fell from 39 to 36 over the last six months.
The "positive figures across the board" are a "testament to continued growth in the mid-market sector across" the UK, according to Ed Cottrell, head of growth and acquisition finance at Investec.

Robotic Surgery and Its Promise For the Future
By Shawn E Riley
Robotic surgery is a promising technology that uses high-tech robots to perform minimally invasive surgery. This surgery is conducted by inserting a small camera and very small robotic instruments inside the body by making two or three small incisions in the desired area. The camera provides a precise and clear 3D image to the surgeon who can then manipulate the robotic arms and move the instruments in the body of the patient and perform the surgery.
History and Current Applications
Puma 560 was the first robot used by Kwoh and co workers in 1985 for a neurosurgical biopsy. The same was used three years later to perform a transurethral resection of the prostate by Davies and co-workers. Since then there have been many advances in the robotic surgery systems with robots being designed specifically depending on the type of surgery. The first robotic system to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) was ROBODOC, a surgical robot developed by Integrated Surgical Supplies Ltd.
Since the 1980s, systems scientists have worked hard to develop telesurgical robots and devices that can be used to bring surgeons and patients, located in different parts of world, together. Other successful robotic surgery systems that were consequently developed include the da Vinci Surgical System (Intuitive Surgical), and the ZEUS robotic surgical system (Computer Motion).
These robotic systems have been used in laparoscopic gall bladder surgery, certain chest and cardiotomy procedures as well as bypass surgeries. These systems allowed the surgeon to manipulate the robotic arms through a computer console and monitor.
Currently, robotic applications has evolved even more, and has expanded to surgeries performed in cases like prostate cancer, bladder cancer, cardiothoracic treatments, plastic surgery, pediatric surgery and more.
Benefits of Robotic Surgery
The use of robotic surgery eliminates the need for surgeons to be in the same room as the patient. With the help of a video conferencing specialist, surgeons can now perform surgeries with increased precision and skill as before. This serves as a major advantage in times when doctors on-call is not available to handle an emergency case.
The other major benefits include the increased flexibility and position of the robotic arms used. This augments the surgeon's ability to maneuver the tissues with increased degrees of freedom. The more evident benefit of performing such minimally invasive surgeries is the decreased rate of infection as a result of which the patients take less time to recover. Therefore, in the end it works out well for all, doctors, patients and insurance agents.
Drawbacks and Limitations of Robotic Surgery
The main factor that has proven to be a major hurdle in the widespread use of robotic surgery is the high cost factor involved in the initial purchasing along with its high maintenance cost. Also, as these systems have not yet been established fully, there is still a lot of scope for optimization and more studies are required to judge the efficiency of these systems in different surgeries. Large size of these systems is also a major drawback because it is difficult to accommodate them in a surgical room, along with the other staff.

text: SYDNEY: Austrian top seed Dominic Thiem had a three-set struggle with Portuguese qualifier Gastao Elias before clinching a quarter-final spot at the Sydney International on Wednesday. Thiem, the world number eight, had several chances to put away the plucky 81st-ranked Elias, only to be broken back before he eventually won 6-7 (5/7), 6-3, 7-5 in a match that finished at midnight. Thiem will now face Britain's number three Daniel Evans in Thursday's quarters. Evans fought back from dropping the opening set to down Spanish eighth seed Marcel Granollers 1-6, 6-3, 6-3. Gilles Muller earlier beat the heat to be one match away from a third straight semi-final appearance at the Sydney International, following a big-serving victory over Australian Matt Barton.The sixth seed from Luxembourg prevailed over Barton 6-1, 3-6, 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals. Muller, who lost to Grigor Dimitrov in last year's semi-final, will next face Uruguayan second seed Pablo Cuevas, who overcame Frenchman Nicolas Mahut 6-4, 2-6, 6-2. German fifth seed Philipp Kohlschreiber knocked out Australian Jordan Thompson 7-5, 6-4 and will face the two-time defending champion Viktor Troicki. Third seed Troicki from Serbia won his 13th consecutive match at the Sydney international with a 6-3, 6-4 win over Italy's Paolo Lorenzi.

Both of these scriptures CLEARLY say as in the days of Noah and Lk even adds Lot. BOTH of these situations it was the UNRIGHTEOUS that were removed from the earth and the Righteous were kept safe ON THE EARTH as will be done after the judgement. Yet people believe THE LIE THAT APOSTATE CHURCH TELLS THEM THAT is directly opposite of what it says. WHY?
sort by best latest
celafoe- Another great question and here's my answer.
Mt 24.37-44 and Lk 17.26-36 has nothing to do with the so called "rapture" of the saints. This is false teaching of the churches.
. These two books and verses you mention explains when the end come is dependent on man, not God. God will destroy the earth. But when He does it depends on the completion of a task God has given to man. And I will explain. God could not destroy the earth with water until Noah completed the ark, filled it and sealed him and has family inside. In other words God was waiting on Noah to finish the task that He had given to Noah.This same situation applied to Lot and his family. God could not destroy the cities until the task of Lot and his family being removed or moved out of the city was completed. So the task for Lot and his family was to leave the city. The same rule applies to the end time event of Christ secound coming. Before the end of this age man has a task from God which needs to be completed before God will end this world as we know it. The task given to us to be competed is described in Matthew 24:14 (NKJV) which states: "And this gospel of the KINGDOM will BE PREACHED in all the world as a witness to ALL the nations, and THEN THE END WILL COME."
Just like Noah and Lot had tasks , we have a task that needs to be completed. Once "GOD" has determined that our task of spreading the gospel of the Kingdom to all nations is complete (which means God is waiting on us) then we can count on Christ's secound coming, but only God knows WHEN that will be.
Just as we must understand verses in it's context, the same rule applies to entire chapters.
Great question and God bless

Noah was removed FROM the earth while judgement was ON the earth. The water lifted them up away from the earth.
The type is God removing the saints from the earth while judgement is on the earth, then we will return to the earth with Him.
Lot went out of the city before judgement fell, in fact the Lord wouldn't send the judgement until Lot got out of the city, since Lot lingered Gods Angels had to take him out of the city.
Bottom line is, God removed His people from the area of judgement.

Absolutely not he was on the water on the earth. He never left the earth and he inherited the earth when he returned Lot was walking on the land. You have bought the lie. Look at Goshen, God protected them , no move
It is a type, not literal. The point was God had His people removed out of the way of His wrath, When the wrath of God falls there will be no place on earth for His saints to be so He is going to take us out first!
And no the rapture is not a lie.
Wow apparently your god is much weaker than my God who protects His people in the midst of the trouble. Neither the isrealites in Goshen, lot in the very midst ,his wife being killed near him have meaning? Noah inherited the earth as shall we
Actually my God is more merciful than your god He will take us out of the way before He pours out His wrath on the earth. In fact "He hath delivered us from the wrath to come" 1 Thes.1:10 how by 1 Thes. 4:16-18. Enjoy your stay in the tribulation.
Everyone forgets Egypt, I wouldn't, the blood on the door of our heart will save us from anything that is to come just like those in Egypt. Follow the instructions and "fear not". Afraid of God's wrath, better apply the blood of Jesus to your life.
The catching away of the Bride of Christ is the Churches final and ultimate deliverance where we shall ever be with the Lord. And the wrath that will be on earth during the trib will be far worse than at any other time in the history of the world.
Chevy - apostate church doctrine. NOT WHAT SCRIPTURE REALLY SAYS. RAPTURE DOCTRINE IS NE 1700'S
Really?, what does 1 Thes. 4:16-18 mean then? Are we the Church not going to go out to meet Jesus in the clouds in the air?
Chevy - ve 17 is talking about the end for judgemment and says we who remain (onthe earth) , if God's people were removed when do they return, only the dead and those remaing are covered here , see ge n 1:8 heaven is between earth surface & wat
We return in Rev.19 with Jesus at the 2nd coming.
The dead IN Christ and we which are alive and remain in Christ on earth are caught up together in the clouds in the air.
Chevy - Rev 20:5 says these were some of the dead in Christ, the fathful.
Rev. 20:5 says nothing at all about the dead in Christ.
Chevy - try readi g it in the interlinear. And read all of ch 29 and 30 for context context context it does say that
Why is the comments so limited I can only squeeze so much in here

By Ian Morton | Profiles in Advocacy
With the new year upon us, we set new goals and hopefully some of those goals include ways to strengthen advocacy in the coming year. The San Diego Foundation building, the Malin Burnham Center for Civic Engagement, houses many of the city's nonprofit foundations and projects — including the foundation at which I work, San Diego Human Dignity Foundation — and it is always an inspirational place to visit. In 2016, we got a new neighbor: "Love Does."
A provocative name for an organization, it does beg the question, "What does love do?" So I sat down with Executive Director Deborah Erickson, to discuss that very thing.
On the landing page of the Love Does website, we see the words "Only action becomes love." The primary focus of this initiative is to support and advocate for women, children and families in "conflict areas" — countries that have experienced the devastation of war, famine and extreme poverty.
Love Does currently has projects in Iraq, Uganda, India, Nepal and Somalia, and they have created safe houses and schools in partnership with the communities that they serve.
Founded by lawyer turned diplomat Bob Goff in 2003 as "restore international," the mission of Love Does remains based in helping lives, one at a time, with the confidence that investing in an individual will have a positive reverberation throughout the country and perhaps throughout the world.
Speaking with Deborah, I had the opportunity to learn more about how this organization identifies and partners with the communities they serve, to create lasting and impactful projects.
"We recognize that, while we may have the funding and opportunity to create a needed resource, the communities in which we operate have the wisdom and expertise," Deborah said. "Our model is meant to be flexible, so each country has its own form of Love Does, which are ultimately run by locals."
"In Somalia, we work with an amazing mother and daughter team," she continued. "They work alongside our team to dream up the projects that will fill the needs of the community and guide us in our understanding of the culture. With their help, we can remain, 'unseen partners,' while allowing the voices of the residents to be prioritized."
Of particular note and interest, with Jan. 21 being the Women's March on Washington, are the ways in which these projects are reverberating in the area of gender equality. The work Love Does in the area of education is also creating more opportunities for women to experience and succeed in higher education.
In Uganda, they are seeing the success of a family of five girls, raised by a single mother when the father abandoned them. Initially struggling for resources, the daughters became engaged with a Love Does school and now the eldest are attending law and medical school and inspirations to their younger siblings.
Another particular instance, of which Deborah regaled me, was the story of how these opportunities are also changing the minds of men, in countries where women are often treated as lower class citizens.
"We had a few of the boys from our school graduate and want to form a business, so we connected them with a well-drilling company for training," she explained. "They then formed their own company, called 'The Young Men Drillers,' and were able to both purchase the needed equipment and pay themselves a salary.
"At the end of the year, they had a little money left over and decided to sponsor a child to attend a Love Does school. Because so much of the funding comes from American funding, it was amazing to see these young men take their profit and invest back into their community. While they did not want to know who the student was, their one stipulation was that it was a girl. That was a moment that I got to see everything come full circle with a wonderful twist — it had become important for young men to see their younger 'sisters' empowered."
Love Does works to change lives and plans to do so to the fullest event of their funding and ability to create global partnerships with communities who want to see a brighter future for their most vulnerable citizens.
Future goals include schools specifically geared toward child soldiers — who were recruited and forced to fight — as they are rehabilitated back into civilian life. It is hoped that this project can give these young people a choice, as too often the only options are "fight or die."
Opportunities to assist Love Does are available, from funding individual students, to a robust internship program, and even service trips to the countries where the project operates.
