If you suffer from allergies and you're not sure what's to blame, you may be advised to undergo allergy testing by your doctor. An allergy test will help you to find out which specific allergen is causing your symptoms and forms an important part of your treatment plan, which may include lifestyle changes, allergen avoidance and medication.
How is an allergy test performed?
Allergy testing involves exposing the skin to different allergens and checking the area for any sign of an allergic reaction. If an allergen causes a reaction in the skin, you will experience reddening, swelling or an itchy, raised bump where the substance was applied. When this happens, the skin test indicates that the person has an allergy. If there is no reaction, the test is negative which suggests the person does not have that specific allergy. The size of the swelling determines how severe the allergy is: a large area of swelling shows a higher sensitivity to the allergen in question. Allergy skin tests are usually done at a doctor's office and take between 20 and 40 minutes to complete. Some tests have immediate results, while others show delayed allergic reactions, which may only develop over a few days.
Types of allergy tests
There are three types of allergy skin tests: Skin prick tests, intradermal tests and patch tests. Skin prick testing is the most common allergy test, as it's quick, convenient and less expensive than the other methods of testing. The results are available within 20 minutes, so you can discuss the outcome with your doctor on the same day as the test. The test is usually performed on the forearm, which is cleaned with alcohol. Drops of commercially produced allergens are placed on marked areas and a sterile lancet is used to make a slight prick in the skin. This ensures that a small amount of the substance enters the skin. The area is then observed for redness and swelling for 15 to 20 minutes. This test is most often used to detect allergies to mould, pollen, pet dander, dust mites and insect venom.
Intradermal tests are most often performed when insect venom is the suspected allergen. The allergen extract is injected under the skin and the area is then observed for 15 to 20 minutes. Intradermal testing is more accurate and is usually used when the results of a skin prick test are inconclusive. Patch testing is used for allergic skin irritation and detects delayed allergic reactions. This form of testing does not require any needles. The allergen is placed on a patch, that is then applied to the skin for up to 48 hours. A patch test allows for up to 30 allergens to be tested at once, including fragrances, latex, hair dyes, metals and preservatives. After the allotted time, the person being tested returns to the doctor and the patches are removed. Skin irritation at the patch site may indicate an allergy.
Which allergens can be tested for?
Allergy testing is usually performed in cases of suspected hayfever, or reactions to certain foods and insect venom. When testing for hayfever, the substances used usually include house dust mites, cat and dog dander (other animals may be included where relevant e.g. horses), mould spores, and pollen from weeds, grasses and trees. In some cases, occupational allergens may be included if the person comes into contact with them during their daily work.
Allergy testing may not be suitable for everyone. People with severe skin conditions may be advised not to take the test, as it is usually carried out on the skin of the arm or back and there may not be enough unaffected skin to obtain accurate results. Also, in cases where people are highly sensitive to suspected allergens, a test may provoke a severe allergic reaction and is not advisable. For this reason, allergy testing should only be carried out in a medical office that has emergency medical equipment. If you experience shortness of breath, an extensive rash, fever, difficulty swallowing or swelling of the mouth within an hour of an allergy skin test, seek urgent medical attention. These symptoms may indicate a severe allergic reaction.

This is the day Pope Francis asked Christians worldwide to fast and to pray for our brothers and sisters in Syria. It also is the feast day of Our Lady of Good Health (Vailankanni). Today, I traveled with our younger son and three of my CL friends from New Jersey to a Staten Island parish where we joined hundreds of others in fasting for Syria and feasting for Our Lady of Good Health.
St. Rita's Parish has been celebrating this feast day for the past six years. Before today, I never had heard about this Marian apparition, which is known as the "Lourdes of the East." The Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health is India's most popular Marian shrine and draws two million pilgrims a year. Oral tradition says the Blessed Mother appeared in 1550 to a handicapped boy selling milk for his widowed mother. He was cured of his disability. In 2005, a tsunami hit that region of Southern India. One thousand people died, including hundreds of pilgrims. But a miracle occurred at the shrine.
(The iconic image is unique because it is one of the few that depicts the Blessed Mother wearing a sari.
There are just two statues of Our Lady of Good Health - this one at St. Rita's and another at a parish in Washington, D.C.)
Our day began with all of us reciting the rosary. Next came a Mass celebrated by seven priests, including the pastor, Father Rich Veras, who has served as chaplain to Communion and Liberation. The Mass intentions were in Malayalam, English, Hindi, Tagalog, and Tamil, including this one:
"For peace and harmony in the world. May the nations and peoples search for peace and harmony and an end to all conflicts everywhere. "
In his homily, Father Rich told us Christ "wants to come close. He wants us to know who He is and that we are not alone. ..Our greatness comes from the fact that we are loved. "
Like the young boy trying to support his widowed mother by selling milk, "we feel helpless" in the face of violence, he said. "Every time Pope Francis prays for Syria, he says - 'pray to Our Lady. 'At the root, we want to let these people know 'You're not alone.' " He said he felt incredibly "preferred" that the day of prayers and fasting fell on the same day his parish celebrates this feast day.
After Mass, we processed around the city streets surrounding the church, with some people holding colorful parasols and others - including our son - bright banners. A slight breeze blew as we walked, making the metal tassels on the muthukkuda (glittering silk parasols) jingle as we prayed the rosary. Onlookers leaned out their windows or stood in the doorways of their homes. On one corner, as he heard us praying, a man fell to his knees and joined us in prayer.
Later, there was a healing service, the veneration of the statue in the parish chapel, and a beautiful buffet lunch in the school cafeteria.
My small group of friends and I were among the few in the large crowd who were not of Indian or Filipino heritage. We were strangers to the parish and we were welcomed like longtime friends. The gestures of kindness, including folks who made room for us in crowded pews and invited us to break bread with them at a cafeteria table, reminded me yet again of the richness and universality of the Catholic faith, and our common duty to pray for and to serve our brothers and sisters across the globe.

what now?
Thx for your advice my dear friend, but now i have another question: what do i do now??? Here's the story: we were getting to know each other (actually we are getting to know each other) and we go out a lot, we visit each other and things like that, you know.
The other day i was at her place (with an invitation, of course) watching TV in her room……..i swear i don't want her just to have sex, i really like her and i'm really really really starting to fall deeply in love……………anyway, we were watching TV when she just held me tenderly, ***!!!! i swear i thought that was the day i was going to get an answer but she just looked me right into my eyes, told me "i think i love you" and kissed me.
You told me to keep my distance and to be patient, well, i've been patient and i haven't forced anything, so i asked her after the kiss if we were a couple yet ('cause i don't want just a "good friend", you know) and she said no.
So please tell me, now what?? what if she's playing with me or just fooling around or maybe she feels good that somebody likes her that much and she's enjoying it. I don't know what to do, you have to help me please!!
Well, clearly your patience has paid off a bit, she's inviting you over, and kissing you. So, while you may not be a *couple*, you are *dating*. That is a step above a friend, but not quite the *girlfriend* ranking that you're after.
It could be that she's wanting to avoid doing the lesbian U-haul thing – you meet, you like, and suddenly you're moved in and joined at the hip and bank account. But, at the same time, she's giving lots of mixed messages like "I think I love you."
At this point, I'd say she's given you the go ahead to initiate the kisses, hugs, gropes and cuddles. Sometimes relationships take a while to go from dating to exclusive couplehood to being the living together joined at the hip/bank account in the long haul.
Now, she's just come out of a relationship, but I don't think you mentioned whether or not you've been in a relationship before. It could be that she's testing you to see if you'd stick around for the long haul, or it could be that she's just wanting to go slow -the first part of a relationship development can be fun and romantic and it's a phase you never get to repeat -the longing, the self denial, the going partway and building the desire to a fevered pitch.
I would like to think that right now, she's just trying to get her bearings and get a handle on her feelings about a new relationship starting and to put away all the old feelings about the breakup with her ex. Unless, she's giving you some other vibes -like that she's just toying with you -give her the benefit of the doubt. But feel free to call her first and make plans for get togethers. If you have enough of the "low pressure" dates, you'll be a couple before you know it without the fanfare or official declaration, and you'll realize it in retrospect.

I just wrote a full paragraph on a topic that was too in depth then deleted it. Sometimes putting thoughts into words is difficult. SO for now I have changed my thought pattern. A few years back I had this "writing fit" I called it. I regrettably deleted over 200 posts on here. (Some really great posts I EVEN enjoyed) Many were my own recipes. After deleting that paragraph this morning I thought it's time to bring back the food! Sure I can write in depth thoughts when I'm in the mood but today lets make it light and easy? My award winning, yes - award winning cabbage rolls! These cabbage rolls I learned from two of my children's grandmother that past years ago. A sweet little German lady who I fondly remember teaching me the secrets of perfect cabbage rolls and now I'm going to share with you! These beauty's we are having tonight too! I make two types, meat and vegetarian. Of course I tweaked the recipe so it's not the exact recipe I learned. Here it is!
Homemade Sweet n Sour Meat Cabbage rolls with oodles of garlic! Warning - you might flatulate!
There is a lot of prep that goes into making cabbage rolls. It can be an all day process so give yourself enough time!
-Cut the core out of the cabbage and simmer in a pot of hot water. (To loosen the leaves) Set aside.(1 large cabbage) Please don't wrestle the cabbage, it shouldn't be a fight!
-Cook your rice. Set aside. I use Basmati. (3 cups)
-Mix ground pork, ground beef, onions, garlic, salt/pepper and basil together. (4 pkgs ground beef, 4 pkgs ground pork, 1-2 onions and LOTS of garlic) Tip - you might want to wear gloves, I learned the hard way and was picking meat out of my finger nails for the rest of the day!
"Note - everything I bake and cook is by feel, sight and/or taste (if I eat it) so my measurements aren't exact!" PS - don't get your gloves stuck in the cabbage roll!
Homemade Sweet n Sour Vege Cabbage rolls YES with oodles of garlic! Garlic IS my favorite ingredient for everything including over popcorn! It keeps us healthy and flatuating! Not sure if that's even a word, so I adopted it!
-Follow above directions. Cut the core out of the cabbage and simmer in a pot of hot water, sound familiar? (1 cabbage) In fact, do what I did and de-core both cabbages at the same time ( I have four hands) cook (6 cups of rice) "at the same time" and separate for both meat and vegetarian dishes. Now, if I would have written that in the first place......a whole lot of space would have been saved in this post! Confused yet? I completely am! Anyhow moving a long....for the three cups of rice mix -
-no meat, GARLIC, onions (1-2) salt/pepper, basil, green onions, halved cherry tomatoes (20) red pepper (1) grated cheddar cheese and in fact indulge - I'm honestly a human garbage can, so experiment and add what you want! The funnest fact about cooking is experimentation! My first dish when I was a child was a layered casserole consisting of ground meat on the bottom, soaked then baked slices of vinegar potatoes was the next layer topped with Kraft dinner and peas! I still remember my mom saying how yummy it was! However I think she was being nice to me!
Now.....we have the loosened cabbages from simmering in hot water. Peel the leaves and place aside. We have both meat and vegetarian mixtures ready and waiting to be rolled, um SO ROLL! The trick with these famous cabbage rolls is the sauce! Isn't sauces the best!?
The homemade sweet n sour sauce!
If I haven't lost you yet the sweet n sour sauce is the key! mmm mmm yay to sauces.....SO....
We have a lot of cabbage rolls here. So after they're rolled and placed into their nestling spots (pans) mix a large batch of sauce consisting of 4, 8oz cans of tomato sauce. Add vinegar (1 cup) brown sugar (1 cup) GARLIC and salt/pepper to taste. OK - so you have to taste the sauce. You want it tangy but sweet. If it's lacking something, add more of the above ingredients. Again, experimentation is great but just a little at a time. Don't get too excited dumping in too much vinegar or something! Now pour your sauce over all your cabbage rolls! Bake for an hour at 350. Serve with sour cream, and grated cheddar cheese! Heck, serve with anything! If your children or husband don't like cabbage, tell them it's lettuce! Problem solved!
I realize this must of been the hardest recipe to follow (if you continued to read) So just come back to it, re-read it until you're dreaming of cabbage rolls, then experiment on a beautiful crisp fall day! What could go wrong except for this weird recipe post!? To conclude I do blame my father for my quirky weird sense of humor. AND I think our little man (seen below) agrees! OR maybe he's going to run away yelling, "No dinner Mom! No dinner!" Either way, Bon Appetite!

Chris Wilder was left fuming at the decision to award the free-kick which led to Leyton Orient's last-gasp equaliser as the Cobblers boss admitted it was a "sickening blow" after his side were dramatically denied all three points in a pulsating finale at Sixfields this afternoon.
Having withstood a second half barrage from the visitors, Northampton looked to have snatched all three points when Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed home Nicky Adams' corner three minutes into added time.
However, in the 97th minute, Orient won a controversial free-kick 30 yards from goal and Dean Cox placed a superb effort into the top corner to break Northampton hearts.
"It's a sickening blow to take," Wilder said afterwards. "It's a ridiculous decision and everyone knew what the outcome would be.
"When you get undone by a really poor decision, it's really hard to take for everybody. The Orient player just pushed Ryan Watson in the back, we should win the free-kick and then we stick it into the corner and the game's done.
"Five minutes before we'd have walked away with a 0-0 and been absolutely delighted with the point, especially after the week we've had off the pitch."
The Cobblers were indebted to goalkeeper Adam Smith who kept the game goalless with a string of superb saves to deny Ollie Palmer, Jay Simpson and Mathieu Baudry in a second half which was dominated by the visitors.
"Smithy was outstanding," added Wilder. "We've not played great today and the opposition are a good, strong side in this division and I expect them to go well and get out of this league.
"Football is a strange game sometimes. I started laughing when we scored because that's how football is – you get battered, the goalkeeper has been unbelievable and the character of the team helps you stick in there.
"It would have been a great point at 0-0 but when you get that close to the finishing line, it's frustrating.
"We haven't played as well as we have done in the last two games but sometimes you need to dig and keep the ball out of the net."
The day started badly for Northampton with Ryan Cresswell, Paul Corry and Rod McDonald all missing the game after sustaining injuries during training.
Corry is likely to miss the rest of the season with a knee injury while McDonald faces four to six weeks out, and there was further bad news for Wilder during the match when David Buchanan was forced off having picked up a knock.
"I've never known a week like it. We haven't played great today but we've lost three players on the training ground," added Wilder.
"We stuck Zander (Diamond) in who's not even trained and been out for quite a while. Then we lost Buchanan and (Shaun) Brisley's running on empty."

Now that we know from intro26 that Jesus has entered into the family name of Jehovah we can see our future very clearly.
is not above his
teacher, nor a
slave above his
25 It is enough for the disciple to become as [wj] his teacher, and the slave as [wj] his lord (Matthew 10)
So we all are to becomes Gods like Jesus if he is our Lord and our Teacher.
34 Jesus answered them: Is it not written in your Law, I said: You are gods? (John 10).
Yes, even the lowliest beggar in cardboard city or the youngest child scraping a living from the garbage heaps of the third world, too humble even to raise their eyes to meet the gaze of passers by, will one day rule an entire galaxy as a God with a face too glorious for their subjects even to look upon.
And the Muslim girl who today hides her face behind a veil in public will one day rule over men as their God with her subjects hiding their faces from her. For all human beings are products of the love and the generosity of Jehovah, who having elevated his angelic son Jesus Christ to the status of God, will not fail to show the same love for and confidence in many others of his sons and daughters. We are children of God, our future is to be Gods just like our father. That is the race that we come from, that is the family we are talking about, and there is the jealousy of Satan, the one who could by now have become a God like Jehovah had he not failed his test. He provides the obstacles which we must overcome in order to graduate from the divine Kindergarten.
So the true religion is bi-theistic. Therefore the Lord's Witnesses have become the Lords' Witnesses. This minor syntactical modification to our name, represents a major theological earthquake. Every church in this world bar one (to our knowledge) is worshipping the wrong number of Gods (1 God or 3 Gods)! I mean if you cannot get that one right, what hope do you have? It is like our second God once said:
14 Let them be. Blind guides is what they are. If, then, a blind man guides a blind man, both will fall into a pit (Matthew 15).
So now we have a chance to see the true magnificence of Jesus' words in Mark 10:35-45...
35 And James and John, the 2 sons of
Zebedee [endowment], stepped up to
him and said to him: Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever it is we ask you
36 He said to them: What do you want me to do for you?
37 They said to him: Grant us to sit down, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your glory [once you become divine - they really did not know what they were asking for! Some endowment!]
38 But Jesus said to them: You do not know what you are asking for. Are you able to drink the cup which I am drinking, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am being baptized? [the baptism into divinity. Jesus got everlasting life after he offered to ransom Adam, since he became head of the second holy spirit at that time. We know he gave his everlasting life when he died, so he must have had it before he died in order to be able to give it to us. So Jesus must have known by the time he came down that he was going to be baptised into divinity. He must have known by then that when he gave up both his human and his angelic soul as ransoms he was going to get a divine soul. But he did not know this when he made the ransom offer at the time of Adam's sin.]
39 They said to him: We are able. At that Jesus said to them: The cup I am drinking you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am being baptized you will be baptized [indeed both John and James will one day become Gods to be worshipped like Jehovah, but you two are not necessarily the two who will sit and my right and left and be the first two whom I lead into divinity].
40 However, this sitting down at my right or at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared [Jesus does not have authority to choose who is baptised into divinity. That is an authority above the heavens].
41 Well, when the 10 others heard about it, they started to be indignant at James and John.
42 But Jesus, after calling them to him, said to them: You know that those who appear to be ruling the nations lord it over them and their great ones wield authority over them.
43 This is not the way among you; but whoever wants to become great among you must be your minister,
44 and whoever wants to be first among you must be the slave of all.
45 For even the Son of man came, not to be ministered to, but to minister and to give his soul a ransom in exchange for many (Mark 10).
Jesus became a God to be worshipped like Jehovah after he gave his life as a ransom. He was given the name that is above every other name named, which name is Jehovah.
20 with which he has operated in the case of the Christ when he
raised him up from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly
21 far above every government and authority and power and lordship and every name named, not only in this system of things, but also in that to come (Ephesians 1).
Jesus, once he became a God to be worshipped, sat at God's right hand - ready to act as God's CEO. But we read in verse 38 that Jesus had a baptism with which he was being baptised and we know that the result of this cleansing was that he became a God. So Jesus is declaring that there is a baptism into divinity which he took. Furthermore sitting down at God's right hand appears to be a component of this baptism test or the result of it. We would of course expect there to be a baptism in the process by which angels become Gods, because being a God is the highest form of cleanliness. It means that you have perfect unbreakable love and perfect unbreakable righteousness. As Jesus said in the sermon on the mount...
48 you must accordingly be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5).
If you are perfect then you are a God, like Jehovah, the rock, whose activity is perfect (Deuteronomy 32:4).
And having realised what kind of baptism Jesus was talking about, we can now gaze in wonder at the true meaning of verse 39...
39 They said to him: We are able. At that Jesus said to them: The cup I am drinking you will drink, and with the baptism with which I am being baptized you will be baptized.
So both John and James were to become Gods like Jesus at some point! But not necessarily immediately because Jesus did not have the authority himself to choose who would sit at his right and at his left which appears to be the position of the two whom God chooses to take to be baptized into divinity under the leadership of Jesus. Now the only authority that Jesus does not have is the authority to choose candidates for baptism into divinity. He himself declared that he has all other authority...
18 And Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth (Matthew28).
But not the authority to choose a God who is over and above the heavens. That authority rests with Jehovah. But plainly the process is that 2 are chosen to sit one at the right hand and one at the left, and these two are baptised into the divinity test which if it follows after the type set by Jesus involves giving ones soul as a ransom and being a slave to your brothers.
Here are all the scriptures in the bible using the phrase God of Gods...
17 For Jehovah your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the God great, mighty and fear-inspiring, who treats none with partiality nor accepts a bribe, (Deuteronomy 10 NWT)
22 Jehovah is the God of gods; Jehovah is the God of
gods! He knows, and Israel shall know, if [it is] in rebellion, and if it is in treachery against Jehovah, you shall not save us alive today. (Joshua 22 GLT)
22 'The God of gods -- Jehovah, the God of gods -- Jehovah, He is knowing, and Israel, he doth know, if in rebellion, and if in trespass against Jehovah (Thou dost not save us this day!) (Joshua 22 YLT)
1 A Psalm of Asaph. The God of gods -- Jehovah -- hath spoken, And He calleth to the earth From the rising of the sun unto its going in. (Psalms 50 YLT)
2 Give ye thanks to the Gods [polite plural] of gods, For to the age {is} His kindness. (Psalms 136 YLT)
47 The king answered Daniel and said, Your God truly [is] a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret. (Daniel 2 GLT)
36 And the king will actually do according to his own will, and he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god; and against the God of gods he will speak marvellous things. And he will certainly prove successful until [the] denunciation will have come to a finish; because the thing decided upon must be done. (Daniel 11 NWT)
Joshua 22:22 is a prophetic form. Jehovah is a God of Gods in two sense. He
is God of the angles who are as Gods to men. And he is to be a God of
19 Having gone your way therefore, make disciples of all the nations, baptising them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 28 Kingdom Interlinear Bible of the Watchtower).
We shall see in I32 that the Father is Abraham, the son is Isaac or Jacob and the Holy Spirit is the holy spirit (actually the wife of Jesus, the holy spirit of the Kingdom of God, the 3rd holy spirit - not the wife of the Jehovah the second holy spirit).
But there is a larger fulfilment still of this amazing scripture. For the path to divinity is as follows.
1. Gain everlasting life, i.e. be baptised into the ARC, i.e. become a permanent angelic son of Jesus.
2. Enter into one or other holy spirit, becoming a part of the wife of a God - this being the baptism into the name of the holy spirit. for one cannot become a God without first joining a divine administration.
3. Become the head of that holy spirit, the Chief Executive Officer of a God.
4. Become a God.
So Gabriel, who is the head of the 2HSC (the second holy spirit covenant for Jehovah's present wife) is on Step 3. And Peter, who is the head of the 1NC, the 2nd holy spirit covenant for Jesus' present wife, is also on step 3.
Not quite sure where Melchizedek is in his path to divinity. He is Jesus' opposite number on earth in the Kingdom of God.
By cleaning behind the fridge thoroughly every day? Regrettably no. Women are equal to men in salvation status and therefore have a prescribed path to divinity just as men have. We are not sure quite how it works though. They probably have to be the administrative wife of a male member of the holy spirit for some time. We need to do more research on this. Whether they need to be the administrative wife of the head of the holy spirit we do not know. But that would seem to make sense. Perhaps God picked an administrative wife of Jesus, and perhaps she is now a God? Certainly all 144,000 angels in the holy spirit each have one female administrative helper a personal assistant if you like.
So men have family wives and business 'wives' and church 'wives' basically. The business wife is the personal assistant, and the church wife is the mother of the group managed by the man.
9 And you well know that Jehovah your God is the [true] God, the faithful God, keeping covenant and loving-kindness in the case of those who love him and those who keep his commandments to 1,000 generations, (Deuteronomy 7 NWT)
So you need to spend 1,000 generations at school (plus however many generations you choose to spend somewhere else), before you reach perfect love and perfect righteousness. Is a day to Jehovah as 1,000 generations? Is it 1,000 years in the Kingdom of God and then 1,000 generation before you become a God? No it is 50,000 years, a Jubilee of Millennia.
6 This is what Jehovah has said, the King of Israel and the Repurchaser of him, Jehovah of armies, 'I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God. (Isaiah 44 NWT)
6 So says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: I [am] the First, and I [am] the Last; and [there is] no God except Me. (Isaiah 44 GLT)
6 Thus said Jehovah, king of Israel, And his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: 'I {am} the first, and I the last, And apart from me there is no God. (Isaiah 44 YLT)
Jehovah was the first God. Then Michael was the 2nd. Then when all of creation are Gods except one person, we will all be Gods except him. But then, when he too becomes a God, we will all have no one worshipping us except for Jehovah who will have everyone worshipping him. So he will still be a God but nobody else will be, not even Michael, because no one will be worshiping Michael. So God is one level of divinity above all other God who are all equal in divinity.
But God also gave the first sacrifice and from this scripture it appears that
he will make the last one too for his sons.

I'm (probably) going to go to the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) meeting that's in Portland next weekend. While the material is aimed at medical professionals, they do have non-medical diver passes available for Saturday and the topics look pretty interesting. Anyone else south of Portland going and want to ride-share for Saturday? The non-med diver pass for the day is like $50, but if you're like me and you've exhausted reading the info you can find on the DAN web site and ScubaBoard's incident analysis posts... it's the best thing we've got going! LOL.
I'd love to ride-share with another diver. If you're interested in going, let me know!

The 2012 Seoul International Marathon will bring together world-class athletes in the heart of the Korean capital this Sunday.
The International Association of Athletics Federations has recognized the Seoul race with its "Gold Label Road Race" designation, based on race organization, course timing and quality of runners, among other criteria, making it the only marathon in the country with the designation.
This year's marathon will start at 8 a.m. at Gwanghwamun Square in downtown Seoul and finish at the Seoul Olympic Main Stadium in Jamsil in the southeastern part of the capital. Runners will vie for the $80,000 winner's purse, the Seoul Metropolitan Government said on Wednesday.
Among a total of 183 professional athletes from both home and abroad who applied for the title are several world-class athletes such as James Kipsang Kwambai of Kenya who has a personal best of 2 hours, 4 minutes, and 27 seconds and the winner of last year's JoongAng Seoul Marathon; Eliud Kiptanui of Kenya, whose best time is in the 2:05 range; and Abderrahim Goumri of Morocco who has also clocked in the 2:05 range and clinched victory in last year's Seoul competition with a record of 2:09:11, the city government said.
The world record in the men's marathon is 2:03:38 held by Patrick Makau of Kenya. He is not entered in the upcoming Seoul race.
South Korea's best hope for the title this weekend is Jeong Jin-hyuk who leads the national men's marathon team. The 22-year-old marathoner, who finished second in last year's Seoul competition with his personal best of 2:09:28, will look to break the national record of 2:07:20, set by the retired runner Lee Bong-ju in 2000.
While some 20,000 individuals will also participate in the separate division of the competition, Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon will run some part of the course and award winners, according to the city government. (Yonhap News)

So…I've been pretty swamped lately. I work late nights sometimes, like really really late. It's currently 1AM as I write this blog post. I'm pretty tired, and my bed is looking really good right now. Many of my nights are like this, but what makes me smile at the end of the day (literally) is when I post up things like this. Stuff like this just makes me go to my bed with a smile because I love what I do.
Meet Sandy and Scott. Meet yet another fun AND funny couple!
So I've come across an interesting thought; a lot of brides/grooms who come to me are teachers. And I have to say…I think teachers are some of my favorite people to photograph ! They're always so cool and calm, and I can see why. They go through so much craziness every single day and I know that because I've taught for two years, and I couldn't handle it. I got burned out. So anyone who has a passion for teaching or is a teacher I have so so so much respect for.
Anyways, Sandy and Scott wanted to photograph at the Camp (Anti-Mall). Sadly I had never been there prior to their engagement session, but it's hands down the coolest mall I've ever been to. It's now in my books as one of the coolest places to photograph in. Thank you for picking that spot and introducing me to it. Thank you for being such a wonderful and amazing couple

Everything you've ever wanted to ask Des Gunewardena, our co-founder, Chairman, CEO and one of the 'D's in D&D London…
Why restaurants?
Why not? I love restaurants: the food, the atmosphere, the buzz, the people – I eat out six nights-per-week and I never get bored of it. Thank god for Monday night training sessions with Rui at South Place Hotel – he's what's stopping me from getting very fat!
Do you have a favourite?
A favourite D&D Restaurant? No! That's like asking me to choose between my children! I love them all equally, but my favourite at any one time can be dependent on mood, weather – anything. For example, in summer I love to eat on the terrace at Le Pont de la Tour, or the roof at Coq d'Argent, whilst in winter Quaglino's or 100 Wardour St would be more up my street. It also depends on location – when I lived in Wimbledon all week I spent a lot of time at Bluebird, whilst now I'm based in Clerkenwell midweek I'm spending more time in our City restaurants like Paternoster Chop House and in South Place Hotel.
Outside of D&D that's tough to say as there are so many great restaurants opening every week – I'm a big fan of Clove Club and last week went to their new restaurant, Luca – Isaac McHale is a brilliant chef. Recently I also enjoyed dinner at Stevie Parle's Sardine – it's simple, delicious food with a great atmosphere. I had a pre-mixed Negroni there which really changed my perception of pre-mixed cocktails – mixologists like Mr Lyan are really pushing the boundaries there, showing that with pre-mixing you don't need to compromise on quality, and of course it's great for speed of service.
What inspires you?
For me, the most inspiring thing will always be the next big project… Developing the concept, getting to know the restaurant scene if we're opening in a new city, designing it and making the restaurant a success once it has opened. When we started work on German Gymnasium, people thought we were mad to take on such a gigantic site and then to announce we were doing German food? They thought we were nuts! Then when it did open the critical acclaim wasn't exactly unanimous (people had a LOT to say about the schnitzel) but we've worked hard to make it the best it can be and now it's one of our greatest achievements.
The larger London restaurant scene in general is also a source of constant inspiration – seeing new places, new ideas, new cuisines, new drinks and great chefs opening restaurants all over town is incredible to see. There really isn't a better city to be in if you love restaurants.
What's been your biggest challenge to date?
Our first foray into NYC – we spent a lot of money to launch in a city we honestly didn't know all that well and whilst there was initial success – we did $15m revenue in the year 2000, but still couldn't make a profit. We had to move with the times and constantly evolve Guastavino's in order to make it a success. It is now a fabulous events venue and a firm fixture on the New York scene.
I guess an even more important challenge was founding D&D with my business partner David Loewi, buying Conran Restaurants. We both had a lot of experience in running those restaurants and were confident of success, but confidence and achieving results are different things. We both invested significantly in funding the buyout and knew it was going to be a gamble. Luckily it paid off!
Des Gunewardena & David Loewi at the launch of German Gymnasium
What are you most proud of?
I think the launch of South Place Hotel was something special – whilst we had launched the very successful Great Eastern Hotel in our Conran days, opening a hotel on our own, as part of a group which had become exclusively known for restaurants and make that a success was a risk. But we did it and are very proud of what we created.
What do you think is the biggest challenge facing the restaurant trade in the next 12 months?
Without a doubt that's Brexit and all it entails, with cost going up on all fronts: wages, food and wine prices and now business rates. But I don't like to dwell on the negative and I am confident that we will emerge with London and the UK in good shape. That's not just talk either – we are putting our money where our mouths are and opening seven new restaurants in the next 12 months!
Des Gunewardena & David Loewi at Sartoria
What do you think is the most exciting thing about the restaurant scene at the moment?
London's like the Premiership in football – everyone wants to come here, be a part of it and make their mark, regardless of Brexit. I literally cannot keep up with the sheer number of amazing restaurants opening here. So the most exciting thing for me is the fantastically innovative food and restaurant culture in the UK today. I had to get rid of my wishlist long ago as there aren't enough days in a week to try out all these great new places. I also think that the scene's overall cultural diversity is a key part of what makes London and the UK so great to live in. My wife Liz and I are keen theatre and film-goers and the choice available is brilliant.
What are the best three dishes you've tried recently?
Nordic fish roes with potato blinis and sour cream at our new restaurant Aster in Victoria
The entire tasting menu at Bak, Amsterdam, all served with natural wines
Ben Murphy's presa Iberica with aubergine, ponzu and crackling at Launceston Place
Presa Iberica with aubergine, ponzu and crackling at Launceston Place
What's next?
We're about to announce some very big projects both here and overseas in the next few weeks. Also our expansion of Bluebird is starting at Television Centre in White City, so lot's more to come. Watch this space…
What's the most important thing for an aspiring restaurateur to know?
Don't bother! Only joking. If you're opening somewhere new you need to be secure in your USP and know you're doing at least one or two things better than anywhere else. That could be anything from the vibe you are creating in the restaurant to doing the best roast chicken in the capital. Whatever it is, you need to stand out – there are 20-30 restaurants opening here every month so setting yourself apart and making your place worth visiting is key. Opening is when the real work starts, and that there is no substitute for assembling a team of talented, passionate people who love what they do.
Also, I always say to budding restaurant entrepreneurs, come and spend some time working with us! As part of a big group you can explore every area of the business and gain all the experience you need before striking out on your own.

"…by the Affordable Care Act"
Once again, the blame resides entirely with Democrats for these job losses that otherwise would not occur – not a single Republican in the US House or Senate voted to effectively nationalize the nation's healthcare and healthcare insurance industries. And as we go further into it, we see that costs are going up, this Affordable Care Act is turning more and more unaffordable, and it is having large negative impacts on the "little people" that Democrats profess to be for. Such is the transformation that Obama promised. From the Laconia Citizen (emphasis mine, reformatted):
58 lose jobs at LRGHealthcare
LACONIA — Changes in healthcare delivery and resulting financial challenges led to the layoff of more than four dozen workers at LRGHealthcare in Laconia on Tuesday. The staff reduction of 58 LRGHealthcare employees amounts to less than 4 percent of the LRGH workforce.
"With increased patient volumes coupled with higher costs and generally lower reimbursements than we historically received, our challenge is to staff our campuses in line with these changes," said Seth Warren, LRGHealthcare President and CEO. He said that LRGHealthcare reviewed operations to meet the shifting emphasis from hospital admissions to outpatient care and value-based population health changes in the market brought about by the Affordable Care Act.
Only one reason for the layoffs – Democrat politicians who decided they knew better and more about healthcare than those that are actually in those industries – F.A. Hayek's pretense of knowledge that a few people can make decisions better than the combined wisdom of millions in the free market.

Touch for a list and map of all markers in Snow Camp.
Regarding Lindley's Mill. Lindley's Mill was a gristmill built in 1755 by Thomas Lindley, an Irish immigrant. The mill is in operation today and owned by a descendant of Thomas Lindley. Flour is available at the mill and sold at select local stores.
The Battle of Lindley's Mill, also known as the Battle of Cane Creek, was fought September 13, 1781. It was the largest engagement of North Carolina's "Tory War" and was fought near Thomas Lindley's mill on Cane Creek.
Loyalist Colonel David Fanning, leader of the Loyalist militia in central North Carolina, had received approval from British authorities in Wilmington to attack the state capital at Hillsborough. With nearly 700 men, he advanced on Hillsborough, in Orange County, NC. He attacked at dawn on September 12, 1781, taking advantage of a heavy fog. Sleeping Hillsborough was taken by surprise and 200 prisoners were captured, including most of the General Assembly and Governor Thomas Burke.
After their victory, Fanning and his men, left for Wilmington with their prisoners.
News of the battle reached Brigadier General John Butler of the North Carolina militia that evening. Butler, who had led North Carolina militia at Guilford Courthouse, quickly organized men from Orange County to intercept the Tory force.
Butler's men, numbering approximately 400, arrived ahead of Fanning at Lindley's Mill, near a ford across Cane Creek on a plateau overlooking Stafford's Branch.
On the morning of September 13, as the Loyalists crossed, the militia fired a musket volley from the tree line on the opposite bank tore into their ranks.
The Loyalists charged toward the Whig position, Colonel McNeil was among the first shot and killed.
Fanning ordered the prisoners to be sheltered in the Spring Friends Meeting House in the rear of the battle. Although outnumbered, the Whigs advanced, pressing the head of the Tory column back toward the chapel. Their goal was probably to free Burke and the other prisoners.
Fanning then organized an assault that flanked Butler's men, threatening to surround his forces. Just as he began driving Butler's men from the field, Fanning received a serious wound in his arm. He left the forces in McDougald's command and retired from the field of battle.
Butler's men, outnumbered and outmaneuvered, retreated. Fanning's column continued on to Wilmington with the prisoners.
That night, local Quakers collected the dead and wounded on the field. Whig casualties consisted of 25 killed, 90 wounded and 10 captured. Tories lost 27 killed and 90 wounded.
Surgeons from the surrounding countryside were called upon to care for the wounded.
One of these surgeons was Dr. John Pyle, who earlier that year had led his Loyalist militia regiment into an ambush at Pyle's Defeat. Putting aside his earlier allegiances, Pyle worked tirelessly for the injured of both sides. In return, Governor Alexander Martin pardoned him at war's end.

Tornado Relief Press Release
Haven Ministries leaders have been in direct contact with QAC Emergency Service leaders, staff from the Sherrifs Dept, Social Service representatives, and the Red Cross workers throughout this week. The Red Cross and QAC Emergency Services have led the disaster relief efforts, which is their specialty, to respond to victims of the tornado that hit the Kent Island area on Monday. Right now, no one has requested further assistance with long term shelter. If this need arises, the above-mentioned organizations are poised to contact Haven Ministries. We are prepared to open the shelter, provide food and other services. If this happens, we will certainly contact community leaders as to what is needed. If we open, we will organize a list of needed items including meals and a volunteer schedule. Right now we are "on hold" until we can better access the long-term needs.
Thanks for your willingness to help!

Updated Nov 2016 following some small microwave models being retired from production.
From reheating leftovers to cooking full meals, microwave ovens are important kitchen appliances which help you serve food to the table faster and easier.
There are many types of microwave ovens available on the market which come with varying sizes, technologies and prices enough to suit your needs. Among the common types of microwaves you're expected to find in most stores include countertop, over-the-range and built-in microwaves.
In these reviews we aim to find the best small microwave oven on the market. Determining what size of microwave oven you need is an important factor which you should keep in mind before making a purchase. Microwaves usually come in three basic sizes – small, medium and large. People always choose their desired sizes depending with what they plan to do with it. If you only need to purchase a microwave oven for heating or re-heating food, then a small size will be a good choice. This is because these have a small footprint of up to 0.9 cu ft and a heating capacity of 600-900 watts. On the other hand, if you wish to prepare large meals for your family or for commercial use, then a medium or a large size will be the best to consider. They usually have heating capacities of 1.0-1.4 cu ft; 900-1650 watts.
Where Will You Be Using Your Microwave?
Not all of you will be looking for a microwave for a kitchen. The size of the microwaves reviewed below also makes them suitable for college dorm rooms, workshops, RV's, water craft, studio's, truck cabs, the office and cottages. The footprint of most of these designs is small enough to fit almost anywhere with a suitable electrical outlet. To ensure that you select the best small microwave oven to suit your needs, this article will review some of the top small microwaves available on the market. If you don't want to read the full review then checkout the comparison table below which compares the most important product specifications.

These include a child lock feature, a cooking end signal and 10 programmed power levels, this unit should be considered one of the smartest small microwave ovens on the market. Furthermore while good for a small kitchen it's also perfect for the office or even a truck cab and just fits a full size dinner plate. Many reviewers say this is the best microwave they have ever owned and this is probably what makes it the best selling and most highly rated compact microwave on Amazon.

Despite its relatively high price compared to the others in this test the Kenmore 0.9 cu. ft. Countertop Microwave still remains a good buy for lots of consumers.

The product also comes with 6 smart touch settings and a multi-stage cooking function which ensures food is fully cooked without cold spots and not burned either.
The Kenmore is manufactured by Sears a brand to be trusted. Customers have found it to be quiet in operation and have lavished praise on it's gorgeous looks. The most important factor though is that food is cooked evenly and efficiently. Only the slightly excessive force required to open the door lets it down slightly. Nontheless a great buy.
November 2016 update. Unfortunately these are becoming difficult to get hold of as the product nears it's production life. If you can get one then great if not consider the Hamilton Beach or Danby which are worthy alternatives.
Best Small Microwave Oven Review Verdict
There are many brands of small microwave oven on the market today. They come with different features, heating capacities and speeds. This article has reviewed six of the best small microwaves in the market which include those from brands West Bend, Hamilton Beach, Sunbeam, Danby, RCA and Kenmore. Given the price point of these 6 models and the smart features they incorporate they represent good value for money but won't be troubling more expensive offerings.
Of the 6 we would lean towards purchasing the Kenmore or the Hamilton Beach. They have a good blend of features and neither have any concerns over long term reliability like the West Bend. Furthermore they don't have the light weight issue of the Sunbeam. Despite it's lower power rating of 700 watts if you're looking for a cheap unit which will tackle basic microwave needs then the great looking RCA should also be on your short list. This also comes with the best manufacturers warranty of the bunch at 1 year. The Danby Designer shouldn't be overlooked either, this is the best selling countertop microwave on Amazon. This test leans towards size and quality which means the Danby just misses out. It is though quiet in operation, attractive and also has a good warranty.
The Kenmore edges the review overall due to price, power, unit size and looks but the Hamilton Beach also gets a 5 star review from whatmicrowave.com and runs it to a very close second spot. Customers particularly praise the quiet operation and multistage cooking of the Kenmore which ensures even results. It's also available in a slightly more expensive stainless steel finish or a cheaper black finish. The white unit will fit in the majority of small kitchens and apartments. The Hamilton Beach only just misses out on top spot, it doesn't do anything particularly wrong and there are no reliability issues, the Kenmore is just that little bit more attractive and well finished regardless of colour. If yoo have a smaller budget though the Hamilton Beach is a great option and it too is available in black, red and white.
November 2016 update. Our test winner, the Kenmore is becoming increasingly difficult to get hold of and the price has risen slightly. If you can get one great if not the Hamilton Beach is a no brainer especially given it's current selling price.
Customers particularly praise the quiet operation and multistage cooking of the Kenmore which ensures even cooking results. This makes it the best small microwave on test, if you can get hold of one.

Years ago in Winnipeg, Chris Jericho responded to an advertisement regarding a wrestling camp run by Stampede Wrestling's famous Hart Brothers. Little did he know that the letter he wrote to them as an aspiring wrestler would begin a journey that would lead to a career in professional wrestling defined by consistent reinvention and a smorgasbord of iconic moments and matches that few others could ever hope to hold a candle to.
After training in the Hart Brothers Wresting School (run by non-Harts and based on a training book written by Stu), Jericho would take his talents to Canadian bars, and then to Mexico, Germany, Japan, and Memphis-based Smoky Mountain Wrestling. Each of these areas specialized in different aspects of professional wrestling that allowed the "Lion Heart" to construct a blue print that would set the tone for a Hall of Fame-worthy career.
Jericho's incendiary performances as part of Japan's WAR (Wrestling and Romance) promotion, specifically a July 1995 encounter with the great Ultimo Dragon, would soon catch the eye of Mick Foley. In turn, Foley would pass a copy of this match along to ECW (Extreme Championship Wrestling) promoter Paul Heyman. This exchange would lead to Jericho signing with ECW, and then a year later with World Championship Wrestling. As a member of WCW, Jericho was a member of an infamous midcard that consisted of himself, Dean Malenko, Juventud Guerrera, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio Jr., among other savvy technicians, high-flyers, and Luchadores. This group of performers would serve as the backbone of a company that frequently featured main events stars of yesteryear. Despite putting on innovative, fast-paced, psychological performances, this midcard would go rather unappreciated. However, this lack of attention, accompanied by the self-awareness of what he was capable of, Jericho would soon embark on his ultimate destination: Vince McMahon's World Wrestling Federation (now World Wrestling Entertainment}.
On August 9, 1999, the "Millennium Clock" would hit zero in the midst The Rock's in-ring promo. Within moments, the WWE audience would be commanded to "break the walls down" for the first time. The Chicago crowd erupted as the "Ayatollah of Rock and Rolla" emerged. The fortitude shown by interrupting "The People's Champion" would begin to circumscribe a career built on in-ring expertise, a lack of rhetorical filter, and the innate ability to be a key contributor to various iconic moments in the annals of World Wrestling Entertainment. These moments were and still are archetypal for all performers who would follow.
Jericho's first stint with World Wrestling Entertainment lasted from 1999 to 2005. In that period of time, he would fulfill seven of his record nine Intercontinental Championship reigns and the World Tag Team Championships three times with three different opponents. He would also form an infamous rivalry with Stephanie McMahon, and he would also get to put on a spectacular performance with his wrestling idol Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 19. His biggest accomplishment during this first stint, however, would come at Vengeance 2001 when he was able to pin The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin in the same night to become WWE's first ever Undisputed Champion.
What would transpire after his return to the WWE in 2007 would allow Jericho to truly earn his self-prophesized moniker of being "the best in the world at what he does." WWE fans would see him transform from the fan favorite, charismatic jokester, to a vicious, blood and title-thirsty, brooding villain. This would put on full display against a rejuvenated rivalry with Shawn Michaels that would result that were as iconic as they were disturbing. This same villainous side would be seen in rivalries with the likes of Rey Mysterio and Edge. The transformed Jericho would go on to win the World Heavyweight Championship three times during this second stint, which ended in September 2010.
Since then, Jericho has performed off-and-on for the WWE. He continues to perform at the top of his game both in the ring and on the microphone. Currently, Jericho is a key figurehead within WWE's current renaissance called the New Era. Now, future world champions such as Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Cesaro get to share the ring with Jericho as they forge their own path in the hopes of completing a wrestling career with comparable longevity and accolades.

Body of Water: Upper and Middle Range Ponds, Poland, Maine (You can access both ponds without portaging.) [Maine Gazetteer Map 5 A3]
Boat launch: There are two points where you can enter the water. There is a concrete or asphalt boat launch and then there is another area that gradually slopes into the water, a bit sandy, where kayaks could easily put in.
Directions (From Portland, Maine): Take the Maine Turnpike, I-95, North to Gray (Exit 63) to Rt. 26. Travel between 8 and 9 miles (after the Shaker Village on the right) then Turn LEFT onto Range Hill Road and drive about two miles, crossing over a bridge. The boat landing is on the left.
Parking: Free. There is a small parking lot.
Wildlife: Ducks, maybe loons, maybe a blue heron.
Notes: When I went I had gone later in the afternoon, so I did not explore Upper Range Pond for very long, so I am not sure what you may see there for wildlife. * If you miss the turn off onto Range Hill Road for the boat landing, there is another boat landing called "Dockside" further up Rt. 26, close to the bridge/causeway separating Middle and Lower Range pond. This is a fee based boat landing (was $5 in 2010) Located right on Rt. 26 before the causeway separating Middle and Lower Range Pond. (I would turn around and find the public launch!)
I didn't take many pictures the day I was here, and this was before I really learned to use my camera, so these pictures are not great, but gives you an idea of what to expect.
I didn't take many pictures the day I was here, and this was before I really learned to use my camera, so these pictures are not great, but gives you an idea of what to expect.
This was taken between the two ponds.. excuse my feet!
This is the bridge over the water where the two ponds connect. The boat launch is just to the left of this picture.
A very faded blue heron.

Today's audio is from the NLT. Switch to the NLT to read along with the audio.
28 In the fifth month of that same year, the fourth year, early in the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, the prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, said to me in the house of the Lord in the presence of the priests and all the people: 2 "This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: 'I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon. 3 Within two years I will bring back to this place all the articles of the Lord's house that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed from here and took to Babylon. 4 I will also bring back to this place Jehoiachin[a] son of Jehoiakim king of Judah and all the other exiles from Judah who went to Babylon,' declares the Lord, 'for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.'"
5 Then the prophet Jeremiah replied to the prophet Hananiah before the priests and all the people who were standing in the house of the Lord. 6 He said, "Amen! May the Lord do so! May the Lord fulfill the words you have prophesied by bringing the articles of the Lord's house and all the exiles back to this place from Babylon. 7 Nevertheless, listen to what I have to say in your hearing and in the hearing of all the people: 8 From early times the prophets who preceded you and me have prophesied war, disaster and plague against many countries and great kingdoms. 9 But the prophet who prophesies peace will be recognized as one truly sent by the Lord only if his prediction comes true."
10 Then the prophet Hananiah took the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah and broke it, 11 and he said before all the people, "This is what the Lord says: 'In the same way I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon off the neck of all the nations within two years.'" At this, the prophet Jeremiah went on his way.
12 After the prophet Hananiah had broken the yoke off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 13 "Go and tell Hananiah, 'This is what the Lord says: You have broken a wooden yoke, but in its place you will get a yoke of iron. 14 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I will put an iron yoke on the necks of all these nations to make them serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and they will serve him. I will even give him control over the wild animals.'"
15 Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, "Listen, Hananiah! The Lord has not sent you, yet you have persuaded this nation to trust in lies. 16 Therefore this is what the Lord says: 'I am about to remove you from the face of the earth. This very year you are going to die, because you have preached rebellion against the Lord.'"
17 In the seventh month of that same year, Hananiah the prophet died.
29 This is the text of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets and all the other people Nebuchadnezzar had carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 (This was after King Jehoiachin[b] and the queen mother, the court officials and the leaders of Judah and Jerusalem, the skilled workers and the artisans had gone into exile from Jerusalem.) 3 He entrusted the letter to Elasah son of Shaphan and to Gemariah son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to King Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon. It said:
4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 "Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper." 8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have. 9 They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them," declares the Lord.
10 This is what the Lord says: "When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will come to you and fulfill my good promise to bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back from captivity.[c] I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you," declares the Lord, "and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile."
15 You may say, "The Lord has raised up prophets for us in Babylon," 16 but this is what the Lord says about the king who sits on David's throne and all the people who remain in this city, your fellow citizens who did not go with you into exile— 17 yes, this is what the Lord Almighty says: "I will send the sword, famine and plague against them and I will make them like figs that are so bad they cannot be eaten. 18 I will pursue them with the sword, famine and plague and will make them abhorrent to all the kingdoms of the earth, a curse[d] and an object of horror, of scorn and reproach, among all the nations where I drive them. 19 For they have not listened to my words," declares the Lord, "words that I sent to them again and again by my servants the prophets. And you exiles have not listened either," declares the Lord.
20 Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, all you exiles whom I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon. 21 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Ahab son of Kolaiah and Zedekiah son of Maaseiah, who are prophesying lies to you in my name: "I will deliver them into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your very eyes. 22 Because of them, all the exiles from Judah who are in Babylon will use this curse: 'May the Lord treat you like Zedekiah and Ahab, whom the king of Babylon burned in the fire.' 23 For they have done outrageous things in Israel; they have committed adultery with their neighbors' wives, and in my name they have uttered lies—which I did not authorize. I know it and am a witness to it," declares the Lord.
24 Tell Shemaiah the Nehelamite, 25 "This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: You sent letters in your own name to all the people in Jerusalem, to the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah, and to all the other priests. You said to Zephaniah, 26 'The Lord has appointed you priest in place of Jehoiada to be in charge of the house of the Lord; you should put any maniac who acts like a prophet into the stocks and neck-irons. 27 So why have you not reprimanded Jeremiah from Anathoth, who poses as a prophet among you? 28 He has sent this message to us in Babylon: It will be a long time. Therefore build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce.'"
29 Zephaniah the priest, however, read the letter to Jeremiah the prophet. 30 Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 31 "Send this message to all the exiles: 'This is what the Lord says about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has prophesied to you, even though I did not send him, and has persuaded you to trust in lies, 32 this is what the Lord says: I will surely punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. He will have no one left among this people, nor will he see the good things I will do for my people, declares the Lord, because he has preached rebellion against me.'"
1 Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the command of God our Savior and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2 To Timothy my true son in the faith:
Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in Ephesus so that you may command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer 4 or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God's work—which is by faith. 5 The goal of this command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. 6 Some have departed from these and have turned to meaningless talk. 7 They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.
8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me strength, that he considered me trustworthy, appointing me to his service. 13 Even though I was once a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent man, I was shown mercy because I acted in ignorance and unbelief. 14 The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.
15 Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst. 16 But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. 17 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
18 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. 20 Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
1 Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; 3 have mercy on me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
for I put my trust in you.
5 You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy.
7 When I am in distress, I call to you,
because you answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.
14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
ruthless people are trying to kill me—
they have no regard for you.
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
show your strength in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
just as my mother did.
17 Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
17 Seldom set foot in your neighbor's house—
too much of you, and they will hate you.
