The Root of Discontent or Maybe it's Just the Season Change
By Betsy Yung
October 10, 2012
Wow, it's been a while since I wrote anything for the blog.
I've been busy riding and enjoying my motorcycle. It's been really good for getting me out of the house and doing things again. Have learned with each ride and have explored so many places I have not seen in years.
Have seen my new ID doctor but I'm not expecting to know my numbers until I visit her again on the 25th. I'll be sure to update here when I find out.
I've been dealing with an unexplained bad mood since yesterday. I can't put my finger on exactly why ... maybe a combination of things. The fact that the police killed a man on a bicycle last night when their patrol car collided with the bicycle while they were in pursuit of the bicycle (in other words, the cops ran him down), or maybe it was Obama coming to town just long enough to collect six million dollars for his campaign ... so many things to rub me the wrong way lately. The economy seems to just be absorbing everyone and everything. It seems everyone is so sick to death of being broke and feeling that there is just no clear path to any sort of financial security.
My grown daughter, a single mother, getting no child support, called me last night to say she quit her job. She has been working for a computer consulting firm in Northern California for a few years. She explained that she felt so miserable every day doing a job that she does because it's a paycheck and not what she wants to be doing. I can understand. She feels that she has no quality time to spend with her daughter and that she's not taking proper care of herself because of her unhappy state-of-mind. Again, I can totally relate. She feels alone and has been experiencing anxiety attacks. I wish she was willing to move closer to home where I could help her more. I can't think of moving closer to her while my mom and step-dad are still alive. They need me and I know I won't have them for much longer.
Her frustrations and dissatisfaction with her job has only stirred the ashes of my own discontent with my job and the direction this company has taken over the past two years. We still have not moved into our new facility and even though the move is now imminent, I see that many of the same space problems we have in our current location will continue to be factors in the new building too. And it goes without saying that without some serious changes in the way management views its employees, little will change the general malaise that seems to have saturated the whole company.
Last month, I requested small merit increases for three of my employees who have all spent the past four years being grossly underpaid, and the raise given them was a slap in the face. It amounted to about $10/week. Not even enough to cover the rise in the cost of living over the past four years. Even though the company is again thriving and meeting all financial and sales goals, it continues to underpay and undervalue its most important asset ... its people. Why can't they see that the reason this company weathered the storm and survived the recession is because of the sacrifices made by the people here? When do they get that credit? When will the company embrace them for their investment? So sad.
I'll be at AIDS Walk Los Angeles this weekend to participate. It's my birthday on Sunday and though I did no fundraising this year, I feel that being there as an HIV/AIDS-positive person, is important.

WASHINGTON, May 11 (Reuters) - President Barack Obama will push for Congress to quickly pass a bill to replenish dwindling funds for highway and bridge repairs this week, using a massive bridge-building project north of New York City as a backdrop for a speech on the issue on Wednesday.
Obama will speak at the Tappan Zee bridge, where a $3.9 billion project is underway to replace the aging, congested structure, the White House said.
He will make the case that federal funding for road and infrastructure projects could soon dry up - right in the middle of the summer construction season - unless Congress finds a way to fuel the Highway Trust Fund.
Money in the Highway Trust Fund comes from gasoline taxes, which no longer provide enough funding because of declining fuel use. Neither Congress nor the White House want to raise the taxes, which amount to 18.4 cents per gallon tax on gas and 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel.
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx proposed a four-year, $302 billion package paid for by ending certain tax breaks for businesses, but reaction has been cool. The White House has said it is open to other ideas.
"The most important thing is that we pass a long-term bill that creates jobs and provides certainty for cities, states and businesses," said White House spokesman Matt Lehrich in a statement.
The Senate Environment and Public Works committee is expected to release a bipartisan plan this week.
Vice President Joe Biden will also press the issue in visits to infrastructure projects in St. Louis, Missouri on Tuesday and Cleveland, Ohio on Wednesday.
Obama will meet with workers in the Washington DC area on Friday to discuss infrastructure, the White House said. (Reporting by Roberta Rampton; Editing by Gareth Jones)

Zoo raises money for Del. woman hit by lightning
Woman, 19, was in coma for several days
RISING SUN, Md. —
A zoo in Maryland is raising money for an intern from Delaware who was struck by lightning last week.
WDEL-AM reports that the Plumpton Park Zoo in Rising Sun, Md., is running an online fundraiser for 19-year-old Haley Embleton, of Milford, Del.
The zoo is collecting donations for Embleton through the website FundRazr.
On its fundraiser webpage, the zoo said the University of Delaware student was hospitalized and in a coma for several days after being struck by lightning while working at the zoo.
The zoo said it is collecting funds to help Embleton as she recovers and to help cover books and tuition when she heads back for her second year at University of Delaware this fall.

Raymond and Booth are younger, cheaper (individually) and may even score more points than Gaborik (when put together).
Booth sucks, but he at least has some upside.

President Nugent wants you!
Wouldn't that be something? President Nugent … President Ted Nugent, outfitting the White House formal dinners with camouflage napkins and venison backstraps on the fine china, putting up some Block targets on the Rose Garden lawn to practice on from the Truman Balcony, going to the portico to shake the hands of visitors and foreign leaders while wearing a zebra-themed cowboy hat and boots?
Probably would be awesome, to tell you the truth. Might get things shaped up a bit, too. Think the war memorials and monuments on the Mall would have been barricaded? Probably not, because there probably wouldn't have been a budget impasse if The Nuge could drive home his idea about fiscal sense with America's fiscal (dollars and) cents.
Hey, anything could happen. Nugent just got a haircut so, after years of flowing locks and a ponytail when hunting or on stage, he's shorn like a lamb. Still roaring like a lion, though.
In an interview with WBZT 1230 radio in Palm Beach, Nugent said he'd have a broom to sweep up Washington if he were president.
"I would love to see America run like the Nugent household," he told the radio station. "You get up early, you maximize your productivity, you be the best that you can be, you live within your means, you save for a rainy day and you don't be some gluttonous, slovenly, criminal, wasteful, paycheck fire-torching bastard like most of the bastards in politics today."
"No. 1, I celebrate that they're shut down, because the Fedzilla is a bloated monster," he said. "Let's put it this way — for every 5,000 federal employees, I could hire one person to do a better job. It is so wasteful, it's engineered obsolescence, it's engineered redundancy, the whole battle cry of the federal government is waste, corruption, fraud, abuse of power, so I'm glad it's shut down."
President Ted said getting a haircut was messing up his hunting trips because his locks kept getting tangled in limbs and such. His wife, Shemane, suggested her stylist and the clipping commenced.
"As I'm tracking deer my damn ponytail kept getting snagged, it got to be a pain in the ass," he said to WBZT. "So on a whim, I just did it, and so far, everybody thinks that it's OK."
Let's see, President Nugent. You have targets outside the White House for your bows, likely have converted the White House bowling alley that Nixon put in for an indoor range, and no doubt would get some big grills installed to fire up for backstraps.
Nugent said the haircut wasn't part of a political campaign, "but the threat of me running for public office is alive and well, because obviously our government has been overtaken by gangsters and America haters."
Check out Ted's website for more updates and the upcoming Ultralive Ballisticrock twin CD-DVD!

I'll be doing a presentation for the Steel City SQL Group on June 17 and then on June 18th I'm doing an all day seminar on Performance Tuning at the Embassy Suites in Birmingham. Cost is $129 and that includes a nice lunch. The seminar is really targetted at the beginner DBA or a developer who wants to understand more about the SQL Server side of data access performance. My goal is to make performance tuning approachable and to open doors to the various subjects so that they can go back and be productive, and as they do deeper learning they're over that first part of the learning curve. This is the same seminar we did at SQLSaturday#3 and had a lot of good feedback. Hope you can attend the user group meeting and/or the seminar.
Thanks to Barry Ralston for inviting me to speak and for supporting the seminar.

JEFFERSON — A dozen fifth- and sixth-graders spread out across the snow. And looking like a yoga class in the middle of nowhere, they stretched out their hands, got down on their hands and knees, and cupped their ears as if in a primitive ritual.
Welcome to Edgecomb teacher Glenn Powers' class, "40 Days in the Maine Woods."
Richard Louv's got nothing on Powers.
But the author of the best-seller "Last Child in the Woods" would surely give a nod to the Edgecomb teacher who this year created an entire grade-school science class set in the woods.
Each week, the children in Powers' class at The Center for Teaching and Learning travel a half-hour to Hidden Valley Nature Center for wildlife lessons followed by hands-on scientific research they collect for organizations looking for wildlife inventory data collected by citizen scientists.
Two weeks ago on a mild winter day, the students stood in the snow displaying to the best of their ability the keen senses of owls, deer and coyote. The barred owls' remarkable vision, the coyotes' sense of smell and the whitetail's hearing were explained to the students in exercises that had them act out each animal's unique attribute.
"When you focus on all these things at once in the forest, a new world will open up to you. You'll notice more things and become a master tracker," Powers told them.
Then the data collection began and they went off in different directions to thread a camera into a beaver den, hang nesting boxes for four bird species, and check their brush piles for signs of small critters.
The active, gym-class-like format and the scientific experiments kept the students not only on task, but silent like black bears.
But this is what Louv promised in his groundbreaking book that demanded educators incorporate the natural world into their course work: "Nature inspires creativity in a child by demanding visualization and the full use of the senses," Louv wrote. "In nature, a child finds freedom, fantasy and privacy: a place distant from the adult world, a separate peace."
At The Center for Teaching and Learning in Edgecomb, Powers has embraced these concepts whole-heartedly in his 40-day class. Of course, Powers has some flexibility at The Center, an independent school founded in 1990.
The school is accredited by the state and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, but it brings a focus on original, hands-on work that includes research and experiments, as well as data collection and analysis.
"The goal is to come to the woods, do the activity and collect data. We are full-bore doing science. They're not just being given facts, they are learning everything about doing the science that gives us the facts. Their bird ID skills are phenomenal; their tracking skills are good," Powers said.
With so many critters across Maine's landscape being studied by a multitude of wildlife biologists and scientists, the opportunity for meaningful wildlife studies by students is limitless.
With this in mind, Powers reached out to a half-dozen wildlife experts and asked what data his students could collect. The class now has a half-dozen studies in which they collect real data to turn over to scientists and biologists in Maine, such as coyote howling recordings, salamander counts, bird counts, bird-nesting box counts and tree species identification.
Pat Maloney in Augusta is delighted to see a new school group sign up to collect forest inventory data. At the Maine Tree Foundation, Maloney coordinates the state's Project Learning Tree curriculum with the forest growth data the state needs.
In 10 years, Maloney has seen her program take hold in classrooms in Auburn, Topsham, Machias, Jay and Newport, where teachers take students out to gather tree species information, and measure the health and diameter of trees.
But for the most part, the Forest Inventory Growth project has been a tough sell, Maloney said.
"We need to redesign it, expand the type of data kids are collecting and put a few things on the website to make it easier for students once they enter the data to compare it and create Excel sheets. One of the things I've learned in this job is you have to be patient," she said.
Likewise, Evan Adams at the Biodiversity Research Institute in Gorham also is wondering how well the fifth- and sixth-graders will add to the data he gathers in southern Maine at nest boxes. But he's delighted they're involved.
"The goal is for them to contribute real data. It's a checklist. They just look and see, is anybody in the nest box, and what (kind of bird) and how many eggs are there. Absolutely we will use that data," Adams said. "We do take classes out. We don't have a class like Glenn's who are independently gathering data themselves."
However, bat conservationist Annie Kassler in the midcoast has some idea how the students will fare. She gave a presentation on bats to them and saw the seeds of inspiration already taking hold.
Kassler, a presenter with Bat Conservation International in Texas, said when she spoke to Powers' class, the students' understanding of bats surprised her.
"For me it's not so much about collecting data as it is to get kids fascinated in bats. They all seemed to be quite fascinated and had stories. I was impressed with how much they knew. And they knew the issues concerning bats," Kassler said.

Bucky thanks for all the work in this excellent post.
Re "There is a lot of razzle-dazzle among apologists, concerning where Saul got his message and authority to preach. It's all irrelevant. He told us he made it up, and how he felt about himself :
"Let me make it clear, friends, the gospel I announced does not conform to human expectations. I say this because it was NOT transmitted to me by anyone, nor did anyone teach it to me. Rather it came to me as an insight from God, about Jesus as God's Anointed." ...... "I went WAY beyond most of my contemporaries in my observance of Judaism"..... I would proclaim God's world-transforming news to the nations." Galations 1" YEP....HE MADE IT ALL UP.
Allow me to expand on this....
The Source of Paul's Theology
One might assume that Paul had a legitimate and verifiable source for his hypotheses. I have imagined going back in time to ask him what it was. He got anxious when his credibility was questioned, so his answer would be intense. He frequently wrote at length about himself, so he would probably tell me how hard he works, how genuine he is, how he has suffered for his beliefs, and how sure he is that what he preaches is the truth. The actual answer to the question would be a long time arriving.
Paul wrote, "The fact is, brothers, and I want you to realize this, the Good News I preached is not a human message that I was given by men, it is something I learned only through a revelation of Jesus Christ. You must have heard of my career as a practicing Jew, how merciless I was in persecuting the Church of God, how much damage I did to it, how I stood out among other Jews of my generation, and how enthusiastic I was for the traditions of my ancestors. Then God, who had specifically chosen me while I was still in my mother's womb, called me through his grace and chose to reveal his son in me, so that I may preach the Good News about him to the pagans" (Gal. 1:11–24, NJB). This is from one of his best-known letters. He specifically stated that the message he preached came not from human sources but from God "through a revelation of Jesus Christ."
He told his readers it was God himself who granted him authority, and this was not the only occasion he said so; "I, Paul, appointed by God to be an apostle" (1 Cor. 1:1, NJB) and "But our sufficiency is from God" (2 Cor. 3:5 NKJB). What he meant was that he thought he had a God given talent enabling him to interpret the same God's words in scripture. That was, after all, the job description for a Pharisee. I fail to see how this could inspire confidence in his credibility.
Paul took things one step further than his more traditional colleagues. He thought he alone had a divine mandate from God. Consider the opening lines of his letter to the Romans: "From Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus who has been called to be an apostle, and specially chosen to preach the Good News that God promised long ago through his prophets in the scriptures" (Rom. 1:1–3, NJB). Paul promoted himself as a very special interpreter of scripture, and he regularly bad-mouthed anyone who happened to interpret scripture differently (see 1 Corinthians 15:1–3).
Yet objective scholars and all traditional Jews agree that Paul's "good news" is not to be found in scripture. Moreover, Paul often changed the meaning of scripture to suit himself. For example, he wrote, "so that all beings in the heavens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend the knee at the name of Jesus and that every tongue should acclaim Jesus Christ as Lord to the glory of the Father" (Phil. 2:10–11, NJB). The source of this was "Before me every knee shall bend, by me every tongue shall swear, saying 'From Yahweh alone come victory and strength.'" (Isa. 45:23–24, NJB). Paul replaced Yahweh with Jesus Christ, to fit with his own manufactured theology. One of Paul's main themes was that gentiles could be God's special people too. He wrote, "Well, we are those people; whether we were Jews or pagans we are the ones he has called. That is exactly what God says in Hosea: 'I shall say to a people that was not mine, 'you are my people,' and to a nation I never loved 'I love you'" (Rom. 9:24, NJB). However a reading of chapters one and two of Hosea (too long to reproduce here) reveals that the people "God" was referring to were not gentiles, but Jews whom he was accepting back under his wing after a misdemeanor. Paul changed the meaning of scripture to sell his own story to Gentiles living in Rome.
Douglas Lockhart (http://douglaslockhart.com/) believes Paul's theological system also received input from Arabian sources. Mithras, the pagan god of an ancient eastern cult, shared many features with Paul's Christ, and Tarsus, Paul's home town, was a major center of Mithraic belief. I also think Paul wrote about his Christ to counter the dreams of the Nazarenes, who were hoping for a political messiah. It is apparent to me that Paul's theology was the product of a very complex mishmash of ideas. I don't think any of his possible sources add any credibility to his theology.
I think Paul's theology stemmed primarily from his own fertile imagination. Paul presumed his readers would believe that God inspired him, yet there is no objective reason to do so. One only needs to turn on a Christian television channel today to hear the modern equivalent of Paul; someone claiming God has talked to them. He was clearly a master confabulator, inventing fictions to support his own views, and not above borrowing concepts from other cults.
He knew he was fabricating, but didn't let that niggle at his conscience. He was on a mission to snare converts, and in his mind the end justified the means. I suspect the more he thought and talked about the divinity of Christ, his sacrificial death, and his resurrection, the more real and useful these ideas became to him. It didn't bother him, or he may not have been aware, that his ideas were fundamentally odd. He wouldn't have wasted time questioning his own themes. He was too busy for that, too obsessed with converting people.
Paul was preaching and writing to people who, judged by today's standards, were naïve, unsophisticated and isolated in the sense that they were unread. Most of them would have had Paul's letters read to them. A well-written letter must have been impressive. Paul was also a self-righteous and confident teacher, which may have been enough to give him some credibility within the communities to which he wrote.

RE: Who was Saint Paul?
I love what Bucky has written here...
"This man is fricking insane.
The REASON he changed from being a self-righteous Jew to an Apostle, was he was an insane megalomaniac, and he found a better way to express it. He goes so far as to invoke Jeremiah, ABOUT HIMSELF, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you". (Jeremiah 1:5, Isaiah 49:1).
"However when God who designated me before I was born, and commissioned me through his grace ..." Gal 1: 11-17.
One of the Sauls in Acts DEMANDED apostolic status for himself based on revelation, alone. and grants it to himself. Apostleship is never "given" or offered to him in Jerusalem by that community. He proclaimed himself the "Apostle to the Gentiles" on the way out the door. He GAVE HIMSELF a very important, hitherto unknown status in the new community. A job description he created for himself. Quite the entrepreneur, this Saul."
You guessed it folks, I'm going to add my spiel to what Bucky wrote....
Paul the Cult Leader
A cult is a relatively small group that has religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. That was how the outside world must have regarded Paul's communities.
Like all cult leaders, Paul did his best to bolster his personal power and prestige. I think his ego was partly responsible for his self-styled theology. Despite his wordy protestations that he was only working for everyone else's welfare, his letters lay bare his burning need to brow-beat the reader into believing that he was the ultimate authority. He referred to his teachings as "my gospel," a very apt description. As best we know, only he or his travelling partners ever articulated his theology - so it elevated him to the status of the master teacher. Paul insisted his gospel was the only path to salvation:
"Brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, the gospel that you received and in which you are firmly established; because the gospel will save you only if you keep believing exactly what I preached to you - believing anything else will not lead to anything" (1 Cor. 15:1–3, NJB). Wise men are interested in the opinions of others and are not overly dogmatic, but the puerile Paul wouldn't consider any conflicting convictions. Humanitarians give people space to find their own paths to meaning and happiness, but he would have none of that. Authentic teachers do not need to threaten their students; he did.
He insisted his readers imitate him:
"Take me for your model, as I take Christ" (1 Cor. 11:1, NJB). Paul thought he was the next best thing to God; that he was the personal deputy of his deity.
A few years later he wrote,
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me" (Gal. 2:20, KJV). By this time God's right hand man had become God himself. His shoddily disguised delusions of grandeur were pathetic.
Status and power were not the only rewards Paul craved. He needed food and shelter, items that usually needed to be bought. Money was a niggling issue:
"That is why I have thought it necessary to ask these brothers to go on to you ahead of us, and make sure in advance that the gift you promised is all ready, and that it all comes as a gift out of your generosity and not by being extorted from you. Do not forget that thin sowing means thin reaping; the more you sow, the more you reap. Each one should give what he has decided in his own mind, not grudgingly or because he is made to, for God loves a cheerful giver" (2 Cor. 9:5–7, NJB). Cult leaders trying to earn a quid love a cheerful giver too!
Paul tried to justify living off the communities he visited:
"Nobody ever paid money to stay in the army, and nobody ever planted a vineyard and refused to eat the fruit of it. Who has there ever been that kept a flock and did not feed on the milk from his flock?" (1 Cor. 9:7, JB). Paul milked money from his fraternities. Anyone he clashed with was compromising his income and his ego.
He clearly didn't have an easy time selling his ideas, as he repeatedly wrote about his own credentials. If he had impressed more people, he wouldn't have needed to sell himself.

Of all the characters in the bible, he is the only one who we can honestly say we "know" in any real way.
He jumps out of his own pages as a thoroughly unlikeable fellow. He was
-a liar
-a scheemer
-and anxious.
He knew a whole lot less about the world than we do.
Yet for no good reason his awful, convoluted beliefs and prejudices are promoted to millions of people as the truth. That is a travesty against humanity.

RE: Who was Saint Paul?
The Last Supper
Paul had almost nothing to say about Jesus the person. There is, however, one notable exception, (although it may be an interpolation,) when in the first letter to the Corinthians, the author claimed he knew what Jesus said on the night he was betrayed. The writer had just finished lecturing women in the Corinthian community on what they should wear and what to do with their hair when he turned to instructing them on when to eat and drink. He used a story about Jesus at the Last Supper, and even claimed to quote him, in an attempt to get the Corinthians to eat their meals together.
"For this is what I received from the Lord, and in turn passed on to you: that on the same night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread, and thanked God for it and broke it, and he said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this as a memorial of me.' In the same way he took the cup after supper, and said, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Whenever you drink it, do this as a memorial of me.' Until the Lord comes, therefore, every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are proclaiming his death, and so anyone who eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will be behaving unworthily toward the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone is to recollect himself before eating this bread and drinking this cup; because a person who eats and drinks without recognizing the Body is eating and drinking his own condemnation. In fact that is why many of you are weak and ill and some of you have died. If only we recollected ourselves, we should not be punished like that. But when the Lord does punish us like that, it is to correct us and stop us from being condemned with the world. So to sum up, my dear brothers, when you meet for the Meal, wait for one another" (1 Cor. 11:23–34, NJB).
If Paul actually wrote this, he was attempting to change some of the social habits of the community, perhaps to foster unity, and invented a story about the Lord to do it. What is surprising is that he acknowledged that a flesh-and-blood person actually ate and drank with others; nowhere else do any of the genuine Pauline letters admit the Lord's humanity, which is why I suspect this part of Corinthians was a second- or third-century interpolation.
One of the factors that makes Christianity so dangerous and contagious is the blend of guilt, dependence and ceremony it engenders. The rituals that Paul discusses here are critical; they bring people together to do something. Communion commemorates the sacrifice of an innocent man dying because you are a sinner. By participating in the event, Christians are repeatedly reminded they are flawed and need Christ and the church to be redeemed. That facilitates power; there is nothing petty about it, and churchmen know it.
There are three serious problems with the historical reality of this story.
No sane person would portray his own impending death as part of a covenant with God, and I'm sure Yeshua wasn't insane. He would have had no intention of dying in the foreseeable future.
What is more, he was Jewish, as were his disciples, and they obeyed the Torah. To them, eating human flesh or drinking blood, even in a symbolic sense, would have broken the strict kosher dietary rules. Even today the Jews insist on draining the blood from slaughtered animals, as written in the scriptures (Lev. 7:26–27, 17:10–14) and will only eat the meat from animals that chew cud and have cloven hooves (Lev. 11:3, Deut. 14:6). Yeshua would have been repulsed by the thought of anyone drinking his blood and eating his body.
This Last Supper scene was not invented by "Paul," but was borrowed by him (or whoever wrote in his name) from Mithraism, a religion that had existed for two thousand years before Jesus, and with which Paul was familiar. Mithraic initiates believed that by eating a bull's flesh and drinking its blood they would be born again. This was supposed to give physical strength, and bring salvation to the soul (http://www.farvardyn.com/mithras4.php). Yeshua was Jewish, so wouldn't have copied these concepts from a pagan cult. Paul, or one of his interpolators, made this up to mimic what was a popular pagan practice.
Matthew, Mark, and Luke have similar verses in their Gospels, and their inspiration could have been from Paul's letter.
Many Christians recognize the reenactment of this scenario as part of their modern Mass in which bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ, yet the idea has no truthful historical basis.

This "blood" thing is one of the most supportive arguments to your ideas. Ever since the traditions, (The Law) arose in Ancient Israel, touching or having anything to do with either animal or human blood was an "abomination". There were three levels of abominations. This was the worst. (An abomination to God). There is NO conceivable way, under ANY possible circumstance, that a Jew could EVER imagine actually drinking blood. It is simply not possible. It was a cultural anathema. The entire system of "Kosher" is built on this idea. I'm still trying to figure out when the "commemoration" was conflated with "*drinking* body and blood", but it was fairly early, before the First Century ended. But it's complicated. Since the Nazorenes were Jews, THEY must have had a different concept of the "memorial". Paul got his "Eucharist" straight from Mithraism, as they had a "thanksgiving" feast or "eucharist", (a Greek word). He conflated the two ideas, but STILL the Jews would never think about drinking blood. There are statements about drinking blood by some sources pretty early, but it couldn't have been universal. The idea we have today, (or that Catholics have today), about drinking blood and flesh, and transubstantiation, (which is a Greek concept built on the Dualism of substance vs "accident"), developed over a LONG period. Also why do the Catholics have to keep re-doing the sacrifice ? Are they afraid it didn't "take" the first time ?

I'll have to look. It probably is, but the question is did HE even write this ? Since all his letters are combo jobs, you can tell when the writing styles and Greek vocabulary changes. I'll have to puzzle over the quotes with my "Greek" hat on. But yes, in general, the *Risen Lord*, or *The Christ* or *The Anointed One Who Was Raised* is a wholly "new understanding" of Yeshua. It's a concept that *The Exalted One* "bears a resemblance" (secondary to having been granted martyr status), but Yeshua is dead and gone. The *Exalted One* is a "new creation", or a part of the "new creation". We hear those words so often they cease to actually have the real meaning that actually had, when he first wrote them. Our brains take them back and forth to metaphor. Some he meant that way. Some he really meant.

Big12 Campus Correspondent
Success is a goal that all student-athletes strive for. Perfection is something that very few attain. For Baylor junior Kendal Volz, perfection was the theme for the 2008 summer.
The right-handed pitcher from Bulverde, Texas, turned in his green and gold for the red, white and blue as he became only the fourth Baylor pitcher to play for the USA Baseball National Team. Volz followed in the footsteps of Pat Combs (1988), Jason Jennings (1997, 1998) and Zane Carlson (2000).
With a perfect 24-0 record, Team USA claimed gold medals at the Haarlem Baseball Week in the Netherlands and the FISU World University Championships in the Czech Republic.
"That was a blast. We knew we were playing some great baseball players but it just kind of shows you a little bit about the game of baseball internationally," Volz said. "Being the guy that they wanted to close out the game was just awesome. It was a great experience and it helped me get better this summer and I think it will help me this season."
Adjusting to a new role as a closer, Volz played a pivotal for the national team converting eight saves in as many chances. In 13 appearances, Volz allowed only one unearned run over 14 innings of work with 16 strikeouts.
"It was definitely different," Volz said of the transition from starter to closer. "It took a little bit for my arm to get use to. I was use to warming up in the bullpen for maybe 20-30 pitches prior to a start and I would long toss before.
"Once I got use to it I would just get up, throw a couple of throws and I would be ready to go the next day. I think it was a blast because going to the ballpark everyday I thought I was going to pitch.
"Being that guy that they wanted out there in close situations was really awesome. This summer was really just a blessing and I thank God for that opportunity."
Simply looking at the success of the National Team on paper leaves no doubt that Volz was a part of perhaps one of the most successful pitching staff's in history of the program. Joining Volz on the roster were fellow Big 12 pitchers Tyler Lyons and Andrew Oliver of Oklahoma State, as well as Kyle Gibson of Missouri.
The four pitchers were instrumental in leading the USA pitching staff to a program-record 0.88 ERA, blowing past the previous record of 1.29 recorded in 2003.
Despite being the leaders of their respective pitching staffs on the collegiate playing field, Gibson and Volz were able to put their rivalry behind them as they were roommates throughout the summer.
"It was pretty cool getting to know a guy that I competed against and getting to know him and his family a little bit more," Missouri's Gibson said. "Kendal is a great guy and he is a great Christian guy that lets his faith lead him in what he does; it just makes him a great competitor. He goes out there and gives it his all."
Conceivably the most impressive note from the summer was the Nationals' dominance of the Cuban Olympic team, a standard that the USA Olympic squad was unable to match. Team USA knocked off Cuba on two occasions during the Haarlem baseball week, including a 4-1 in which Volz closed out the game to lead the U.S. to the gold.
"I think the experience of wearing the red, white and blue for one thing is such a unique experience," Baylor coach Steve Smith said. "I think the role that he was in and having to pitch under pressure and under the gun every game, having to get out of messes, inheriting problems and having to get out of them in order to get the save and preserve the win, which is not going to do anything but help everybody."
Even though success throughout Europe were a once in a lifetime experience for Volz, the quest for perfection continues as the No. 6 Bears have aspirations of winning a Big 12 title, as well as reaching college baseball glory in Omaha, Neb.
"Every chance that I have to help our team, I want to do it and put our team in a position to win," Volz said. "I think our team is talented enough that dogpiling in Omaha is a realistic goal but we still have a long way to go and a lot of things to work on.
"If we do the little things, which is what really separates teams in college baseball, and if we can get on a roll hopefully we can get a chance to go to Omaha and do some great things there."
From Preseason All-America to Golden Spikes Watch list, the list of honors for the junior co-captain is extensive. With a roster full of young but solid arms, Volz is in a leadership role.
"Whether he ever says a word or not, he is going to be watched, especially by the younger guys on the team. Kendal falls under the category of a guy who is a leader whether he likes it or not," Smith said. "He is the consummate lead by example guy.
"It is good to be a man of few words but you can't be a man of no words. I think that is what Kendal has realized. He doesn't say a lot but he leads all of the time. When he does say something everybody is listening."
With an above-average fastball, slider and changeup, the Major League scouts have taken notice of his ability. Baseball America has rated Volz as the No. 6 MLB Draft Prospect (college) and the No. 3 USA Baseball National Team Prospect.
"He reminds me the most of Jason (Jennings) because of his command," Smith said. "He throws a lot of strikes. Jason could just pitch and that is the way that Kendal is although he is more of a three pitch guy. They are similar both as pitchers and as people."
The No. 6 Bears currently hold a 9-2 mark during non-conference play, with key wins over ranked teams UC Irvine, UCLA and TCU. In 19.1 innings of work, Volz sports a microscopic 1.86 ERA with 13 strikeouts.
With conference play just around the corner, the schedule does not get any easier as Volz and Baylor will have to square off against a talented crop of pitchers - three of whom played with Volz during the summer.
"We know that there is going to be some great competition this year," Volz said. "We still have to focus on what we do rather than who we are going to play, that will help us a lot more.
"Rooming with some of the Big 12 pitchers kind of gives us some bragging rights for this year. They are great kids and I wish them the best. But, whenever they come here or whenever we go there, when it is time to play, there aren't going to be any thoughts about the summer. We are going to do whatever we can do to win."

Patient Concerns
Questions Related to Gemcitapar
This query is for my mother. She was diagnosed with breast cancer stage 1 a couple of years back. It was thus treated with surgery followed by radiology. The doctor has since put her on anastrozole 1mg tablet daily for 5 years. She has been taking altraz 1mg by alkem laboratories since inception but now we have found a same salt medicine named elinal 1mg by emcure pharmaceuticals with same composition. Is elinal an equally effective medicine and can be taken in lieu of altraz? Reason for switching: elinal costs 80% less than altraz.
Dr. Megha Tuli
Hi PATIENT understand your concern. Emcee is a very good brand too. There is technically no difference in the two medicines. However I would suggest you verify with your treating doctor in this case because in case later something goes wrong in future, your doctor will only blame you that you checnged the medicine without consulting him and that is reason the patient has deteriorated. Cancer is known to be notorious. I have myself lost 2 very close family members to breast cancer. Do not take me wrong. I'm only asking you to verify with your doctor so that in future you face no problems in this account.

Silence Equals Death
June 1, 2013
Am I proud to have HIV? No. Am I proud to have spoken up in the U.S. Army and chosen to get kicked out? No. Am I proud just simply to be gay? NO. I am proud mainly of being a human being who happens to be a gay, HIV-positive U.S. Army veteran. Yes, my struggles and life story have some significant hardships, but they are nothing to what my predecessors had to go through. These leaders in our GLBT community are who I am VERY proud of.
These men and women who stood up against the chaos and the prejudices and life threats. These men and women who fought against bigotry and hate for being gay while living with HIV/AIDS. These people are who I am extremely proud of and who I want us, the next generation of gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgender people, to hear and learn from. So, I am writing to you all not of MY pride, but of the men and women whom I appreciate, respect and emulate.
Men like Peter Staley who got infected with HIV when it was a deadly thing and there were NO medications on hand to either effectively fight or stop the virus. Peter Staley was a bold member of ACT UP (AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) in New York and later became an outspoken leader. He stood up and fought for HIV/AIDS research. He fought for medications and their distribution, for his friends and many more who kept on getting infected. He fought even though he knew he was dying. His friends around him were dying. The movement was at times at a standstill. And Peter Staley never quit.
Men like Mark Harrington who was a daring, gay, HIV-positive man looking for the answer. Mark stood up and spoke up. He worked his way through the Republican political sewage that was deliberately halting any sort of HIV/AIDS research and medication discoveries. Mark stood up and made his presence known for his sake, his friends' sake, and countless other infected people.
Women like Sarah Schulman who took the initiative to write about what was going on by openly writing about the AIDS crisis. Sarah stood up and fought for her fellow lesbians when it came to rights and anti-gay ballot initiatives. She continues to shine as an advocate of woman's rights, abortion rights and lesbian rights. She is a pillar of strength and pride. Sarah continues to use her activist brilliance through her words by writing powerful articles and books on many serious subjects like HIV/AIDS.
These people did significant things in a time when just being openly gay was a scary thing. They believed in action. They are STILL committed to direct action to end the AIDS crisis. We younger members of the GLBT community cannot empathize with their hardships, because we did not live back then during those dark times in America.
American people were scared of us, because we were different. They could not believe or comprehend that men were genuinely capable of loving other men or women could genuinely love other women. The American people were frightened of AIDS and HIV. They did not understand the virus just as much as they did not understand gays and lesbians. But, thanks to the Peter Staleys and the Mark Harringtons and the Sarah Schulmans, that all changed.
And the greatest thing about their stories is ... they stood up and fought and did ALL OF THIS for US. They saved our generation. They opened gateways to where now we can celebrate many states legalizing and celebrating gay marriage. They saved us by getting the government to bend and put money into the HIV/AIDS fight. They saved us by getting physicians to knuckle down and discover protease inhibitors and medications like Atripla. THEY SAVED ME. And for this, I say thank you. I am VERY, VERY proud of my gay and lesbian predecessors. I am proud of what they did and how they fought. I am proud that they simply refused to accept death or to remain silent.
And as we look toward the future, on how we define Pride, I will keep people like the ones I just mentioned close to my mind and spirit. I am so very proud to know we have great role models and leaders within our GLBT community. I am very proud to conduct myself appropriately when I am challenged with MY own personal hardships. And, I am extremely proud to be who I am, with what I have and with all of the experiences I have witnessed and been a part of. I am proud to be a gay man living with HIV.

Hurry Up September 4Th
tommysmommy replied to whtswrongwithme32's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsYes, your symptoms give you every reason to consider celiac or even NCGS. And forget what others say, IMO gluten related disorders are the most misunderstood of all health issues and YES IT IS THAT BAD, for some it is way worse. Don't fear a diagnosis, it's good to have answers and even better to have an issue that doesn't require meds or treatments - it's something you control by the food you eat - overwhelming as it might seem at first, if it makes you feel better, it is worth the effort!
One Week gluten-free, Feeling Worse - Tell Me It Gets Better
tommysmommy replied to WestCoastGirl's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithWow, gluten and dairy together - you are a brave one! Ledge talk down time. It sounds to me like you are experiencing something that not everyone goes thru but plenty do - it's called gluten withdrawal. Google it (you may also find it under wheat withdrawal). Wheat/gluten can act like an opiate and when you eliminate it, some people go thru a rough time - basically your body is in a crisis mode and needs to re-regulate itself. My husband experienced it with serious brain fog and joint pain, everyone is different. IF that is what is happening to you, the good news is....it should end very soon! Some good probiotics would help and a bland diet for now. Get past this rough patch and things will improve quickly!! I'm no expert, just living the life. If it doesn't pass soon, call your doctor.
18 Month Old Failure To Thrive
tommysmommy replied to Mamaof2's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseTesting is not perfect, particularly with a young child. While a medical diagnosis is preferred, if your baby is obviously healthier on a gluten free diet.. make her gluten free (dairy and gluten problems often go hand in hand), it's only food. I suggest keeping a journal and note her reaction to foods, stool appearance & weight gain... I more than suspect you will see it! Then in a year, review her progress and your notes with your doctor and or peds gastroenterologist. Get her healthy momma, your instincts are right on & then discuss if it's worth getting an official medical diagnosis with the professionals. It isn't going to hurt her to live without gluten and dairy if you make sure she is getting nutrients from good sources, it sounds like it is going to help her!
Like So Many Others...
tommysmommy replied to nottoosoupy's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsWell done being your own advocate, it sounds like you found your answer (or at least part of it). You are not alone in your frustration with the medical community (I suggest you check out gluten dude's blog online for others doctor horror stories - so that you know you are not facing this frustration alone). The good news is, gluten free is working! Given you've gone the medical route thoroughly - I'd suggest you keep doing what you are doing, while researching and interviewing new doctors - there are a few online referral sites for doctors kwoledgeable about celiac and gluten sensitivity (for example Dr Tom O'Bryan has a referral network of docs that go thru his training). I wouldn't obsess about a formal diagnosis and focus on doing gluten free right & finding good sources of information & guidance. Tons of great advocates who understand your issues and frustration are on Facebook & twitter - and may be a help! Good Luck! Ps- my weight issues were similar, I barely ate but was gaining & gaining - it wasn't fat, it was "bloat" - lots of it - lost it all gluten free (even dropped a shoe size, apparently my feet had been swelling rather than growing over the years)
Newly Diagnosed And My Head's Spinning!
tommysmommy replied to foolintherain's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHey, this is a good thing! Yes, it is a hassle (especially at first when you are learning) but once you start feeling well again, it will all be worth it! There is a ton of great info on this site & on Facebook & twitter - those of us living the life tend to know better than our doctors! I would suggest new posts & pans (particularly the porous ones like cookie sheets), ceramic places are probably of - plastic are not -but if you are sharing a kitchen with gluten eaters, having your own HANDS OFF plates & utensils might help. I read recently about a girl getting glutened from her retainer, I'd check with your doctor/dentist on that one. Kiss your daughter - just not on the lips! And ease of dairy, it helps!!
New Here, Not Officially Diagnosed
tommysmommy replied to Neon rainbow's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsGood for you, it sounds like you have your answer! Sadly, it is all too common for real problems to be overlooked by doctors (it's all in your head) & anxiety/depression to be "treated" instead of finding the root cause. If all of your health problems vanished with a gluten free diet, it is probable that celiac or gluten intolerance is the problem. Its a good idea to talk to a doctor & if you don't like your doctor - find a new one! For an official diagnosis you would need to go back on gluten for a while and there is value to testing because there may be other damage that you don't even know about - its worth talking to a doctor about it. But never forget, you are your own advocate & follow your insticts, they've gotten you better!
Does This Sound Like Celiacs?
tommysmommy replied to Mrs.Patchon's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseAnother smart momma, sounds like you found your answer. Talk to your doctor - maybe they can try blood test before it's totally out of his system. You are not the first mom to try gluten free & see it work, then have to face the doctor (who missed the signs all along) telling you six more weeks on gluten! Follow your instincts, they are good ones.
Update On "drunken" Symptoms In 3 Year Old.
tommysmommy replied to D-borealis's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseAmazing. Glad you figured it out. Some days I feel like life is a jigsaw puzzle, if you keep looking - eventually the pieces will fit.
New, Have Some Questions About My Children
tommysmommy replied to mshanson3121's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseSure sounds like you have reason to suspect gluten intolerance. Note in your daughter, there is evidence that celiac blood tests can produce false negatives in young children - and well, even if it's not celiac, gluten intolerance can show the same symptoms. Mucousy floating stools are a sign of a potential gluten problem (and definitely a malabsorbtion issue). Rashes, poor appetite, everything you mentioned is suspect for gluten issues. Celiac is an autoimmune disease whereas gluten intolerance is believed to be an immune reaction - it makes a difference to docs but to you and I... it means the body sees gluten as a toxin and is fighting to get it out in all kinds of crazy ways. As for your son, I recently read an article in Huffington Post about a girl (Lucy) misdiagnosed with SPD when all along it was a gluten issue. Look it up online, worth reading. I'd suggest one more call to your doctor than try a gluten free diet for a couple of days, can't hurt to try it - it's just food - take notes about any changes (I observed big changes right away in my 2 boys) then talk to your doctor again. once you are totally gluten-free, testing is a problem -so don't go all in just yet, but sadly sometimes (like in my case) you need to kinda prove it for the doctors to give it more consideration. Also consider dairy as an issue (we have both lactose & casein issues in my family). Good luck, keep searching for answers and you will find them!!
Do You Think This Is Celiac?
tommysmommy replied to hannahbee's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsI meant Chrohns not Crowns...autospell drives me nuts! PS, you may want to call the GI who will see you in Jan, tell them you have celiac in the family & just went GO - ask them to order the blood work in advance of your appointment - they may not make you wait.
Do You Think This Is Celiac?
tommysmommy replied to hannahbee's topic in Celiac Disease - Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & SymptomsWow, yet another doctor giving bad advice, it seems to be an epidemic! If celiac runs in your family & you are having so many possible symptoms - there is every reason to do the test (it's like a $300 blood test for godsake, not a big deal). Telling you to try eating gluten free first is wrong. If you so have celiac, it can easily take a year to start feeling better (some improvements may be obvious at first but it's not an instant solution - you may have nutrient deficiencies that need attention, etc) and also celiac and other illnesses (such as IBS or Crowns or 300 other things) often go hand in hand. You are not alone, many of us need to educate our doctors or seek new ones to be understood. Good luck, follow your instincts & question the doctor!
Super Mainstream gluten-free Snacks
tommysmommy replied to africanqueen99's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseAdd... Ice Pops (most) Goldfish Puffs Cheetos Fritos most potato chips (not pringles) Tostitos (not all tortilla chips are ok) Hershey Bars M&ms Reeses (except seasonal shapes)
Just Started Gluten Free.
tommysmommy replied to student314's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithSure sounds like you are going through gluten withdrawl, which is a pretty good sign gluten is a problem for you. Google gluten withdrawl & you'll see it is not uncommon - for some of us gluten/wheat has an opiate like affect on the brain and detoxing can cause your body to freak out - the good news is it should only last a few days, week tops. It sounds like you've got a good grasp of the diet - be sure to check the ingredients on the feta cheese and the sausage - not always safe & be sure your food is prepared on a clean surface (don't eat eggs made on the same griddle as pancakes). You probably should ads a probiotic to your vitamin routine. it will help with digestion - just be sure any supplements you take are labeled gluten-free, they sneak that darn gluten into everything!
Really Struggling With Diagnosis
tommysmommy replied to Rachel63's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithIt does such at first but I promise it will get easier. Eating out and convenience are a problem, but you'll figure it out and there is an active celiac community (here, fb, twitter) willing to help. We all get it. It's almost frightening to realize everything you always ate is now bad for you. Guess what, eating so much of that stuff is bad for everyone - once you adapt, you will stop craving it! So the big question is.. what did you eat before? What were your fav foods? I've had to take my entire family of 5 gluten-free & we've found good gluten-free substitutes for everything (except calzones, don't even try on that one). Would be happy to give some recipe/product tips to adapt a meal. Also, I suggest trying to make your family dinner mostly gluten-free & make a little extra to pack for lunch the next day. Or I'll often bake a chicken breast at night to slice up for lunch with some cheese & fruit. It is more work but soon you'll be feeling so much better, it'll be worth it.
Why Is She Still Getting Tummy Aches?
tommysmommy replied to kkcg2736's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseMy 7yr son was the same - got much better on gluten-free diet but 6 months later was back to stomach pain, we eliminated most dairy & the pain & other issues (he was also having constipation & often had burning red ears) went away. We arent crazy strict as we are with gluten- he can tolerate a little now (8 months later) such as an occassional gluten-free pizza or Slice Of Cheese or a yogurt (i add in a probiotic) but staying clear of milk & icecream.

Hear a concert live Friday at 12noon ET from WXPN and NPR Music
Broadcast live Fridays from the stage at World Cafe Live
Listen to the Concert Live Friday on the Radio and Online at XPN.org/listen.
Fresh off an appearance on the David Letterman Show, and just nominated by Mojo Magazine as "Best Live Band," The Jim Jones Revue play The Blockley in Philly on Friday September 16, and will surley rock, on the next XPN Free At Noon on September 16!
There's sure to be not a little fire and brimstone. If you've ever wanted to see rock'n'roll incarnated, the Jim Jones Revue is probably the closest thing to it. The five-piece garage-and-blues rock outfit from London came together in 2008, when frontman Jim Jones (a veteran of rock, creating solid songs since the '80s) met guitarist Rupert Orton at the aptly named 'Not the Same Old Blues Crap' club night. They recorded an eponymous debut in just 48 hours that year, and news of their back-to-basics sound, inspired by the likes of The Sonics and Little Richard, quickly began to spread.
Now The Jim Jones Revue is onto their second release, which is out on August 16th in the US. They've created another masterpiece of bluesy riffs and raspy vocals, all infused with endless, primal energy. The band previewed "Burning Your House Down" at London nightclub Madame Jojo's for a sold-out audience last September. Oasis singer Liam Gallagher as well as members of Grinderman and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds were in attendance, and it's safe to say that the reputation of The Jim Jones Revue is growing. "Burning Your House Down" could very likely take the US by storm, just as it has across the pond.
Produced by Jim Sclavunos (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Grinderman), this 11-track collection catches most of the power of The Jim Jones Revue on stage, but to get the full effect of their take-no prisoners vibe, a live performance is necessary. Thus, this week's Free at Noon is not to be missed. There's not a better way to start the weekend!

On 2 November 2010, Rolf Henke took up his new post Member of the Executive Board responsible for Aeronautics research at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR). Henke is the successor to Joachim Szodruch, assumed office in October 2002 and, having reached retirement age, left the Board in October 2010. Henke was previously Director of the Institute of Aerospace Technology (Institut für Luft- und Raumfahrt; ILR) at the Technical University of Rhineland-Westphalia (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule; RWTH) in Aachen. Prior to that, he held various positions at Airbus over a period of more than 20 years.
Henke views his new position as one that offers a range of challenges. "First, of course, I want to maintain and build upon the high standards set by my predecessor, Professor Szodruch. The aviation sector is going to develop further over the next few years, and is also facing major changes – one example being unmanned aircraft – and I see my role as helping to shape these changes. DLR is strongly positioned in all relevant areas of the aviation sector, and working with universities and industry, we can help to shape the future of aviation. Having said that, every systemic approach must put the vehicle and its operations centre stage," explains Henke. In this context, he is also committed to building consistently upon the goal of his predecessors: interdisciplinary cooperation between DLR institutes.
Intensive career development for new talent is another area where Henke firmly intends to follow the footsteps of his predecessor. He wishes to use the experience he has gained over the last few years at RWTH Aachen and to foster even closer links between DLR and the higher education sector. This will enable urgently needed fundamental new technologies to be developed and will also assist the German aviation industry in its efforts to attract skilled employees.
In addition, Henke believes that European aeronautics research efforts are going to grow even closer over the next few years. "This development will apply primarily to large research facilities. The German-Dutch wind tunnels already collaborate with one another, and this is going to extend to other facilities. DLR is at the forefront of this development because it has core skills in the 'overall system' of aviation – from research and aircraft to air traffic control," says Henke.
Henke intends to continue to teach through a special professorship at RWTH Aachen, thereby retaining his links with the University.

I am not really saying Dofine is a bad figure though... The point I'm making is, is Dofine really better than anything we've gotten in the last 4 years? To that I say, no (from the pics I've seen, again... in person maybe I'll change my tune). His sculpt is no more crisp looking than the Senate Guard, Endor Rebel, AOTC Clone, Fi Ek Sirch (or whatever he is), Bom Vimdin, Ponda Baba, Gammorrean Guard, Scuba Clone Trooper, Imperial Technician, Dak, etc., etc., etc.
Someone should just set up shop in a Wal-Mart parking lot on 1/30 and usurp all the sales on all this old stuff, with all the crap they probably overbought years ago. Why pay $9 when I'll sell you 2 for $5.
TVC figures went up from $10.99 ('11 TVC) to $11.99 with the new re-launch. Plus, the only figures available at my local Targets are the crappy pegwarmers from last year. This sucks.There's never any new figures at my store anymore, which severely pisses me off because Hasbro has really been stepping up their game with sculpts. At this point, action figure sculpting is so amazing that each figure looks like a mini-Sideshow Collectables 12" figure.I'm beginning to officially lose faith.
