- What I hope to do in this video is to explore the relationship
- between oil and gas prices, and you do see that there is
- a very strong correlation between how they trend.
- This right over here is oil prices quoted at a specific point on the planet
- This is dependent on where you are and as you can see this is
- in US dollars per barrel. In early 2008 around $100
- It went up to about $140 then came back down
- and then it's been trending up ever since, now it's about $100 per barrel
- this is where we see the oil prices on a per barrel basis
- And then related to that you see the gas of gasoline
- this is even more geographically specific because not only do you have
- transportation costs but you also have very
- region specific taxation for oil and sometimes
- regulation but taxation is the big part of it
- but you do see that it trends up when oil prices
- trend up, and then it goes down and this is on
- a per gallon basis and these are the prices right
- over here in New York. But they don't move competely
- locked up, if anything you can see that the oil price on a per
- barrel basis is much more volatile than the gasoline
- prices right over here but there is the same
- general trend, when the oil prices moves up
- this tends to move up but it's not always in the same
- percentage but there's definitely a relationship.
- Now, before trying to figure out when you pay, say
- $4 at the pump how much up that is oil and how much
- is refining and how much is transportation
- Let's at least kind of build up to that
- to think about how does the oil even end up in your
- car, then we can build up that price of the oil.
- Or, the price of the gasoline I should say.
- This right over here, you're probably familiar with these,
- these are oil rigs, two very different types: this
- This is an offshore oil rig, this is a land based oil rig
- but they're both doing the same fundamental thing:
- they're drilling into the ground until they get to a pocket of oil
- and then they will pump that oil out
- and try to transport it to the market somehow, first
- going through a refinery. Offshore is really fast and it
- really is an engineering marvel how they do it
- It might be sitting out here in the ocean and it will
- literally go to the bottom of the ocean, go to the sea
- floor and then drill from there to actually get to the
- oil pockets so it's really an engineering marvel
- and you have to be very careful, it can be very dangerous
- working on an oil rig and obviously if there's an accident
- it can be an environmental nightmare like we saw
- with the BP situation but it is undoubtedly an
- engineering marvel. Now, once you have that oil you need
- to get it to a refinery so that the oil can be
- broken up into its useful parts, and the way it
- is typically transported to a refinery is some combination
- of a pipeline or an oil tanker, this right over here is actually
- the Alaskan pipeline, it takes oil from the very northern part
- of Alaska to the southern part so that it can then be
- put onto oil tankers which can then transport it anywhere
- in the world to refineries. It could go straight to a tanker
- actually in some offshore places you could use a tanker or sometimes if they're
- close enough to land they actually might have a pipeline
- that will take it to land where it can go to a refinery
- or go to an oil tanker so that it can be transported
- even farther. And then from there it gets to a refinery
- So we can start to think about how the price of oil is built up
- before we even think about what a refinery
- even does. So let's say that the current price of oil
- and I kind of rigged the numbers, to work out fairly well
- But let's say the current price of oil is $90 per barrel.
- So a barrel (this is just a units thing) is equal
- to 42 gallons. So if I say I have a barrel of water
- I'm really saying that I have 42 gallons of water.
- And now all 42 gallons of crude oil do not turn into
- 42 gallons of gasoline, out of 42 gallons
- of crude oil you can get about 19 or 20 gallons of
- gasoline, to make the numbers easy I'll just go with 20.
- And then the rest will be other stuff, so 22 gallons of other stuff
- It might not even be 22 gallons, some of it will just be
- waste, some of it will be by-products some of it is actually
- used to fuel the refining process.
- I won't write that number, the rest is "other stuff."
- So let's say, this refinery is paying $90 per barrel
- when it gets it, so that incorporates what the oil procuders
- are getting, and it also takes care of the transportation
- costs to the refinery, and let's say jsut for the sake
- of argument that the refinery can sell
- Let's say that it doesn't even take care of the transportation
- network, let's say there are people willing to buy directly
- from the refinery at the refinery, they are willing to buy
- gasoline at $3.25 per gallon, so the gas at refinery,
- people are willing to spend, the transporters are willing to pay them
- $3.25 per gallon, and so from this barrel they're going
- to get 20 gallons of gasoline, they can sell that
- at $3.25 per gallon so you're going to have
- 20 * 3.25 = $65 for the gasoline
- And then let's just say, for the sake of argument,
- they get $35 for the other stuff
- Some of this other stuff is actually quite useful, it's stuff like
- motor oil, it could be jet fuel, it could be natural gas
- All sorts of... and it can obviously be fuel to actually fuel
- the refinery, and so let's actually start building this up over here
- so one way to think about it, let me draw it this way
- so the price we're up to $3.25, this is what the price is
- exiting the refinery, what the refinery is getting for it.
- So, let's say this is one dollar, this is two dollars,
- and this is three dollars, and they're getting $3.25
- $3.25 would be like that, that is what the
- refinery is getting and one way to think about it
- It's not completely... not all of their profit is coming from the gasoline
- But one way to think about it is the refinery, after refining
- all of this barrel of crude oil that they paid $90 for,
- they're going to get $65 for the gasoline and then
- they're going to get $35 for the other stuff
- so they made a combination of $100. They were able to buy
- crude oil at $90, do what they had to do, and then
- they were able to sell it for $100, so one way to think
- about it, at least in this situation, 90% of what they were
- getting for it is their cost, it breaks down between
- the other stuff and the gasoline, so it's not super easy to break
- down, but you can say in this example a good chunk
- of it was the cost of gasoline. And it obviously depends how
- you account for it but a good chunk of it is the cost of
- the crude, and this right over here you could say is
- how much the refinery actually makes and that the amount
- it actually gets versus what it costs, so the amount
- they actually get for the product they produced versus the crude oil
- that they had to pay for, this margin is often called
- the crack spread. Just to understand what a refinery
- is doing, it's breaking up the crude oil into its various parts
- It's actually a very simple, well I don't want to say "simple process"
- When you look at a refinery you obviously don't think it's a
- simple thing, but the idea for the process is actually
- fairly straightforward, it takes the crude oil
- and it heats it up through a boiler, so right over here
- the crude is getting really hot. This is the boiler,
- the boiler is often fueled by some of the outputs of
- that oil, and then it goes into a distillation column.
- That's why you see all the towers over here in an oil refinery
- Those are the distillation columns, and so in the
- distillation columns the different parts of the oil have
- different boiling temperatures. So the very long
- carbon chains in the oil have very high boiling
- temperatures, so as hot as they are they're not
- going to boil, they're going to stay in their liquid form
- down here, and then the slightly shorter chains are
- going to boil and evaporate a little bit but
- then as they rise they're going to cool down and
- then they might condense right over here and they can
- be pulled away in pipes, and then things that have
- slightly shorter chains than that will go a little bit higher
- before cooling to even lower temperatures before going
- back into a liquid state, and they can be collected
- over here... all the way until you get to the very
- shortest chains, like the natural gas, that would be
- collected out of the top. The gasoline that you put
- in your car might be collected right over here from this
- So essentially you're breaking up that oil into
- its different parts. As for some of the different parts..
- this might be motor oil over here, the thing you use to
- lubricate, not fuel, your engine. You might have
- jet fuel up here, then you have a whole ton of different
- fuels, this might be kerosene, and all sorts of things...
- you are able to take out of that crude oil.
- But anyway, let's get back to the gasoline.
- So the refinery got $3.25, now we have to
- transport that gasoline, so let's say 10 cents for
- transportation. This is at about $3.25 here, so now
- we're going to have 10 cents for transportation
- I'll just write transportation for short.
- And then it goes to the gas station, and as I mentioned
- gas is heavily heavily taxed and it depends on what jurisdiction
- what country or even states within countries
- but for the sake of simplicity let's just say that
- it's taxed at about 50 cents a gallon, which is not that
- different from what it's taxed at in many states.
- So now we're at 50 cents a gallon so that would be
- right around... this is tax right over here going
- to the state and federal government, so let's see
- $3.25 is what the refinery got, 10 cents for transportation gets
- us to $3.35, 50 cents for tax gets us up to $3.85
- and then now we're at the gas station, it'll essentially
- cost $3.85 for the fuel, but the gas station
- needs to make some money to pay their costs
- so the gas station sells you that fuel at a $4 per gallon
- So you might say, hey! they gas station made 15 cents
- But actually a huge amount of that 15 cents goes to the
- credit card processors because most people
- pay at the pump with their credit cards, so that's why
- some gas stations like it, even give you a discount when
- you pay in cash because of that 15 cents, as much as
- or in general about 5 cents of that will go
- to the credit card fees. So the retailer will be
- left with about 10 cents of margin.
- So anyway, hopefully that gives you a sense of how
- crude oil turns into gasoline, and when you pay at the pump
- what is the breakdown for the different players
- and how much of the money is going to those different

Days traversing through muddy hills and dusty trails have not been kind to your dirt bike. Mud-slopped and caked with dirt and debris, the once lustrous motorbike is lost under a thick layer of grime. It will take determination and hours of vigorous scrubbing to restore your bike back to its former glory — here's how to do it right.
The first step is to remove any grime, grease and dirt from the painted sections on the bike. TotalMotorcycle.com suggests using Simple Green (House or Automotive), though Palmolive Original dish detergent works as well for frugal consumers. For the non-painted areas, use nylon bristle brushes to scrub all metal and chrome Yamaha parts or other brand motorcycle parts to a sparkling shine. Begin at the cleanest parts of the motorcycle and work toward the dirtier components such as the engine. Dry excess water with a chamois cloth.
Before the pre-waxing stage, remove your motorcycle from direct sunlight and into the safe shade of a garage. Make sure that the bike is devoid of moisture; it needs to be entirely dry for pre-wax application. Gather clean rags and buffing cloths (flannel or fleece) composed of 100 percent cotton. The sole use of the rags is for applying pre-wax cleaner.
Use the buffing cloths to rub in the pre-wax in a circular movement with two or three fingers. Reapply pre-wax and use clean cloths, as needed. In total, you'll apply two coats of pre-wax polish to guarantee extraction of chemical pollutants, stains, contaminants, dirt, oxidation and road salts while smoothing surface paint.
The application of polish will add that effervescent gleam you're after. Use Maguiar's Deep Crystal System polish or a similar brand. With your always-handy buffing cloth, apply polish in a similar manner as the pre-wax. Allow the polish to seep into the paint and enhance the gloss. After 10 minutes elapse, use a clean buffing cloth to burnish the bike. Two full coats of polish are necessary but no more should you risk removing paint.
For metal surfaces showing signs of corrosion, use a metal polish like Autosol. An effective metal polish will restore rusted aluminum, copper, chrome, brass and steel to its original metallic splendor. To remove rust, simply use the yellow side — avoid the green side to prevent scratching — of a sponge to extricate rust
We've arrived at the final step: waxing. A great wax will seal in the shimmering, polished paint and safeguard it from the destructive elements of Mother Nature. Consider using Maguiar's Gold Class wax or any other effective and trustworthy brand. The waxing process is practically the same as the steps taken with the pre-wax and polish; you should have this down pat by now. Again, use the buffing cloth to add the wax, wait at least 10 minutes for drying and whitening to occur and buff the bike with a fresh cloth. Repeat this process once more. Now that your complete, kick back and take in the sleek shine of your restored beaut — you deserve it.

For a while I've been thinking about picking up an airbrush and having a go at doing something slightly more adventurous than my normal 2 colour rattle can spray jobs.....and have just picked one up. We've got a nice big compressor in the garage so I've decided to use that and have ordered a regulator with a moisture trap for it.....but I have no idea what sort of pressure I need for spraying! I know it will vary based on the type of paints, type of paint feed etc but am just after a rough starting point and some information of what I should be looking for to tell whether I do not have enough pressure or if I have too much...
Equipment/paintwise I've picked up an Iwata Revolution CR Gravity feed airbrush (0.5mm) and will be initially using Faskolor paints (please assume undiluted).... I know Parma say between 40 and 70 PSI but if anyone could give me a better idea of what PSI I should be starting at and would I should be looking in terms of too much/not enough pressure I'd really appreciate it.
Mark where did you get the regulator with a moisture trap from. Ive got a little Makita compressor that i could use.
I live with fear everyday....sometimes she lets me race!!!!

I think it was this one...
Before I answer your pressure question I get most of my stuff from "everything airbrush", if you go to the base of THIS page They have some regulators - Pro Filter Regulator is like the one I've used for years without any problems.
Right, what pressure do you need for airbrushing ? When I use Faskolor I spray at about 40-45psi. You can thin it with water but not best on a shell, you can get thinner for it but it's hideously expensive, Jon Miller at RCS has just formulated his own thinner which is cheaper.
If your pressure is too low the paint will sort of spit and if it's too high it will try to push the airbrush back when you spray and more than likely make a spidery type mess on your shell.
With a 0.5 nozzle that's quite big so you might be able to turn the pressure down a little bit ? It's all trial and error and what works best for you. Jon sprays at about 60psi, personally I find that too high, but I'm used to working with thinners based paint where I was spraying as low as 10psi.
Regardless of what I've said above, if you're just doing race graphics that are solid block colours the pressure won't be that critical, as long as you can get the paint through the airbrush and onto the shell ( get a heat gun and dry coats until they matt off before applying next coat ) you'll be okay. If you're trying to do fades and things the pressure is more critical, you don't want it spiting half way through a fade ( not heard it called that before ), anyway moving on... otherwise the fade will be grainy. Again thinning the paint helps. If you're unsure practice on some scrap lexan or even paper first.
If you get stuck or want any more help give me a shout on here.
Hi, I have Revolution CR too and I generally use Faskolor and Createx paints and spray at 50psi, i've never found the need to dilute either brand. You'll find the fluorescent paints are slightly thinner than other colours so you could turn the pressure down (35-40psi) for them, which will reduce over-spray.
If you want to try finer lines then you can reduce the psi down to 20-30psi and the CR will still allow un-diluted paint to flow freely.
I've had a little play with cheaper water-based paints from Hobbycraft, and they are thick and do need diluting, but I found the quality to be lacking. I also found it a bit of a pain messing about trying to get the correct consistancy; airbrushing can be time consuming enough, so i'm lazy and stick to Faskolor & Createx
If you do dilute any paints I read somewhere that you should used bottled water and not tap water?!?
Good luck & don't forget to showcase your finished shells

Just to add to what Ian said, airbrushing isn't an exact science, it's something you have to gain a 'feel' for as it's all about getting the balance of factors right.
You need to get the air pressure high enough to properly atomise the paint. The thicker the paint, the higher the pressure required, and vice versa. If you spray at too low a pressure, the airbrush spits and makes a mess. Too high a pressure and the paint can dry in the air before it hits the surface, leaving you with a sandy finish and paint that can just brush off.
No two paints are exactly the same, so you'll find you need to adjust the pressure a little either way until you're happy with how it's spraying.
To spray finer detail you need to get the airbrush closer to the object. If you're spraying at high pressure, you'll run the risk of 'spidering' which is where the paint on the surface builds up and is then blasted all over the place by the air pressure, leaving a spider looking pattern. What you need to do to combat this is move your airbrush very quickly, or thin the paint and drop the pressure.
The problem with thin paint is that you're spraying onto a very smooth surface which makes spidering even easier to do. Again, you have to get the right feel for how thin need the paint to be so you can drop the pressure and spray confidently. It all takes practice, and I find advice like "add two drops of thinner to three drops of paint an spray at X pressure" only good for finding a starting point from which you'll need to adjust, as everything changes depending on the object being painted (matt vs. gloss surface, inside vs. ourside painting) and what you're trying to paint (detail vs. block colours) and even the weather where you are can affect how the paint behaves. By practising, you'll learn to get a feel for the pressure needed and if something isn't working, what you need to do fix the problem e.g. get closer/move back, thin/thicken the paint, increase/decrease the pressure, clean the needle tip.
I've been painting with an airbrush for years, but until recently, I have been painting on the outside of models, using a different type of paint which required much lower pressures and was much more forgiving. Since starting to paint RC bodies, I've had to completely rethink my technique and even switch airbrushes. I still have days when I feel like I'm fighting with a paint and just can't get it to spray right. That's where I have learned to walk away and take a deep breath before returning!! Airbrushing has a steep learning curve and I know of lots of guys who have literally thrown them against the wall in frustration. You just need to keep at it and the 'feel' will come.
I think you've got some good advice from the above posts. It's probably best for you to try it now and then if and when you find yourself wondering how to do something post back on here, and in the mean time post and show us what you've done.
If you've not painted with an airbrush before I'd just get some thick paper or cheap card and try on that. Just draw with it, write your name, make a little noughts and crosses grid and then try and put a spot on each intersecting line. I know all this sounds basic but it's learning the control it takes to do this, you can thin the paint a lot more ( use water while you're just working on paper, it'll be fine ) and a lower pressure.
The one thing that I've heard the most when learning to airbrush is people want a lazer pointer on it so they know where it's going to spray, this is a learned thing and get easier but apparently that's the bit people feel most distanced from because you aren't physically touching the paper.
Good luck

Jesus Is the Horn of Salvation …
There is a deadly disease and an awesome enemy. And every one of us will die from this disease and be devoured by that enemy if there is no horn of salvation for us.
There is a deadly disease and an awesome enemy. And every one of us will die from this disease and be devoured by that enemy if there is no horn of salvation for us.
To be ruled by the Spirit is to be ruled by the love that the Father has for Jesus.
If the church has no compelling reasons for believing the biblical portrait of Jesus, then we are acting like well-trained animals who can be turned this way and that by arbitrary incentives.
If you ever meet a man who cares nothing for the praise and approval of men (Mark 12:14), but whose one controlling desire is to glorify God whom he loves with all his heart, believe that man. He is true.
There is no true freedom where happiness depends on denying the inevitable; there is only slavery disguised in a thousand forms of fun and busyness.
We don't have a deep sense of peace and fulfillment when we have successfully deluded everybody about who we really are or what we really feel or think. There is a deep (and I believe God-given) longing to be authentic, not to be hypocrites.
Trusting Christ as Savior, surrendering to him as Lord, and orienting all of your family relations on him, transforms the home into a little heaven on earth.
We crave to be moved by some rare glimpse of greatness. We yearn for a vision of glory.
It is a supreme irony that the people at the cross should look on the dying Savior and mock him with their own misunderstanding of this saying.
When God becomes a man, he strips away every pretense of man to be God.
We must walk in the light if we are to go on experiencing the cleansing of Jesus. And if we sin, we do indeed have an advocate with the Father.
You were made to admire Jesus Christ the Lion and the Lamb.
When Jesus comes into the world, he comes as a sun.
Are you living in the fullest enjoyment of God's YES to you in Christ Jesus? Have you said yes to all of God's YES to you?
Jesus does not like pessimistic views of life or history. He has surprises in store that you have never dreamed.
Jesus frees us from sin, which is one of seven reasons for why you should trust him.
We need to be like lights shining in a dark place. Which means we need to behold Jesus. We need to gaze at Christ.
It was the will of the Lord to crush him, NOT because of his own sins, but because of our sins.
If we are to grow in our love to one another, we must first experience being loved by Christ with a deep, unshakable love.
God loved us while we were enemies. God sacrificed his Son for us while we were enemies.
God might have rescued us, sacrificed for us, forgiven us, and not gone any further. But instead he took us into his family.
At the end of this season, receive the best present imaginable: Jesus giving himself to die for you and serve you.
We are saved by Jesus' suffering because that is what will glorify God most.
Christ became our salvation because he was perfect in three ways: in his dignity, in his eternity, and in his purity.
If we have no idea what Jesus looked like, how should he be portrayed?
Let's not doubt Jesus' love—let's watch and learn what love really is.
What Jesus wants most is that his elect get what they want most: eyes to see and savor the Son of God.
"Seeing and savoring Jesus Christ is the most important seeing and savoring you will ever do. Eternity hangs on it. So my aim is that you see him as solid truth and savor him with great joy" (p. 9).

John Piper says that Jesus was both capable and incapable of sinning.
Look beyond the bread God provides to the Bread of Life.
John Piper says Jesus encountered every temptation on the cross.
When Jesus is our highest Treasure something about everything changes.
To know God, we need to be taught by him who Jesus is.
Though numerous questions remain, we know there's no one like Jesus and no words of eternal life like the words he spoke.

If you trade from abroad you'll also need apostilled documents to open a bank account in your country (this cost me £120). The Companies House website also says you'll have to send anual returns and anual accounts at least every half a year, however I don't know yet whether they mean anual returns/accounts as if they were sent at the end of a year or just working compies of those reports. The information on the website is slighly unclear, and I'm going to contact the CH regarding this issue. | |||||||||||||||||||||
This link on the UK Companies House website would be a good place to start: http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/infoAndGuide/companyRegistration.shtml There is also a (partial) list of company formation agents who can take care of the formalities on your behalf, for a fee: http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/toolsToHelp/formationAgents.shtml | |||

The GOP holds commanding margins in both the state House and Senate, which means they also have a much wider territory to defend in the Nov. 6 election.
The results will be a verdict of sorts on the past two years of all-Republican control in Harrisburg, as the party holds both chambers of the General Assembly and the governorship.
That period has been marked by financial austerity that has squeezed school districts and the disabled; a push to restrict and heavily regulate abortion; legal battles over laws on natural gas drilling, voter identification and new legislative district lines; and changes in regulations, taxes and law sought by the business community.
"Somebody has to be the adult in the room," said Indiana County Rep. Dave Reed, who heads up the House Republicans' campaign efforts. "Had some of these decisions been made years ago, we wouldn't be facing the problems we have today."
Republican Gov. Tom Corbett isn't on the ballot this year, but given his low popularity ratings in public opinion surveys, Democrats are doing what they can to tie him and his agenda to individual Republican candidates, particularly in close races.
"The bottom line is that most of the Republicans in the Senate and in the House have been rubber stamps for the Corbett administration's most extreme proposals," said Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Montgomery, head of the caucus campaign committee.
Muhlenberg College political scientist and pollster Chris Borick said the strategy makes sense tactically.
"The education cuts were unpopular," Borick said. "Some of his handling on Marcellus Shale has been less than well-received, when you look at the public's view on how much revenue could have been generated. I think those Democrats would be wise to try and exploit the governor's diminished standing in these races."
Corbett's political adviser Brian Nutt said the governor has been raising money for House and Senate Republican candidates and attended "numerous" events for candidates and campaign committees.
Polling shows voters are mostly focused on jobs and the economy, said the Senate Republicans' campaign leader, President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati of Jefferson, and his message is putting some distance between his caucus and their party leader, Corbett.
"We did restore funding to public education, higher education, and we did it in a pretty bold fashion," Scarnati said. "So the tying (of) us and our candidates to education spending hasn't worked and it won't work because we stood up against those cuts and we were able to bring them back."
He said Corbett and Lt. Gov. Jim Cawley have helped with fundraising.
"We have never depended on anybody to come in and help us with the races," Scarnati said. "We run on our record. There are probably races that he's helping in, and the lieutenant governor's helping in. But clearly, we do our own work."
The General Assembly races tend to be overshadowed by the much higher-profile contests for president, U.S. Senate statewide offices. But the results will go a long way toward deciding issues such as education policy and funding, highway and infrastructure spending, taxes, debt and public-sector pension changes.
Campaign coordinators say they expect this year to see only small shifts in the party balance, following several cycles in which the House has whipsawed from Republican control in 2006 to Democratic in 2009 and back to Republican.
Philadelphia Rep. Brendan Boyle, the House Democrats' campaign coordinator, said he counts about 30 meaningful races, and 19 of them would be pickups for his party. Boyle is not expecting a big shift in numbers, however.
"It's clear that this is no-wave election," Boyle said.
In the House, 47 Republicans and 39 Democrats are alone on the ballot as they seek another term, while 55 Republicans and 34 Democrats have opposition.
Of the 28 open House seats, 10 have only one candidate—eight Democrats and two Republicans. The parties are fighting over 18 open seats, including 11 held most recently by Democrats.
Democrats hope to pick up an open seat in Erie, and are targeting freshmen in swing districts, including Rep. Justin Simmons of Lehigh County, Rep. Tarah Toohill of Luzerne County, Rep. Dan Truitt of Chester County, Rep. Rick Saccone of Allegheny County and Rep. Warren Kampf of Chester County.
Republicans think they have a shot to oust Rep. Rick Mirabito in Lycoming County, Rep. Bryan Barbin of Cambria County, Rep. Joe Markosek in Allegheny County and Rep. Steve Santarsiero of Bucks County.
The Senate is 30-20 in Republican hands, with 25 seats up this cycle. All four open seats were most recently held by the GOP; four sitting Democrats and four sitting Republicans are unopposed; and six Democrats and seven Republicans have contested races.
Democratic strategy begins with vacant seats held most recently by Sen. Jane Earll in Erie County, Sen. Jeff Piccola in Dauphin County and Sen. John Pippy in Allegheny County. They also have designs on the Beaver County district represented by Sen. Elder Vogel, who is seeking a second term.
The Republicans' best chance to flip a state Senate district may be near Johnstown, where Sen. John Wozniak, D-Cambria, faces a changing demographic in his bid for a fifth term.

10 Ways to Add Variety to Your Runs
By Jennipher Walters, Certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor 1. Get Hilly With It
If youre normally a track or treadmill runner, take it outside with some hills. Find a hilly trail or create your own hill-filled route with an online tool that tracks elevation, such as mapmyrun.com. The hills will challenge your body in new ways and help to increase your cardio fitness. 2. Turn the Beat Around
Nothing is worse than hearing the same song or playlist over and over during a run. If you feel like you have music déjà vu every time you run, its time to switch up those tunes. Whether its swapping your running tunes for a new batch of favorites or downloading an entirely new album or couple of tracks, new music can reignite your running spark. These ideas from your fellow Sparkers and Coach Nicole will get you started.
3. Intervals Are Your Friend
If you find yourself wanting to turn and run home because of boredom after just a few minutes of jogging, then you may want to try intervals. Perfect for those with short exercise attention spans (I'm guilty of this), intervals give you something to focus on. To improve speed--and make the time fly--try running fast for 30 seconds followed by 1 minute of easy jogging or fast walking. Do this for 20 minutes and your previously boring run will fly by. Plus, intervals burn more calories and improve your fitness faster than slower, steady state runs. Bonus!
4. Grab a Bud
Finding a friend to run with is the easiest way to turn a drab run into something fun. Especially good for long runs, grab your most gossipy bud and get those legs and mouths moving (this "talk test" can help measure intensity). Before you know it, you'll have your run done, and you'll know all the dirt on the new neighbors. 5. Take the Road Less Traveled
If you always run along with the same river, around the same block or even on the same treadmill, change it up! Be it a park, off-road trail, sandy beach or even a treadmill in a new area of the gym, get creative and take your run to a new spot. The variation will give you something new to look at and the varied terrain will challenge your muscles in new ways!
6. Find Your Purpose
Jogging doesn't just have to be about running laps around a track or getting fit (although the fitness part is awesome). Change how you see your run by repurposing it. Instead of running to burn calories, run the few blocks over to see a friend, jog to the post office to drop off a letter, or run to the video rental store to drop off that movie before it's overdue. Your body--and Mother Earth--will thank you!
7. Perfect Your Gait
Whether you're new to running or have a few marathons under your belt, you can always improve your form. If youre finding your runs boring, then really pay attention and focus on your form. Nothing will make the time pass by faster than forgetting about how far you have to go and instead focusing on how you're running. Need pointers on the correct way to run? Check out these tips!
8. Learn and Burn
If music no longer speaks to your running soul, then try a book on tape, CD or download. From fiction to nonfiction, find something that really interests you and begin looking at your running time as a way to burn calories and learn something new! And if you don't want to spend the money on a book download, try listening to a few podcasts. Many of them are free and range in topics from fitness to cooking to news to humor to technology. No matter what subject matter you choose, just make sure you enjoy it--and that it isnt so entertaining that you slow down!
9. Train Your Brain
Especially for those who run a lot and for long distances, sometimes your brain just gets bored. No matter how many hills you run or intervals you do, your brain just keeps saying, "Go home." But you don't want to go home! You want to run! So, to prevent brain boredom, give the noggin a task. Not sure what to bring to that housewarming party this weekend? Decide during your run. Have a big project coming up at work and aren't sure how to present it creatively? Brainstorm while you run. Can't figure out how to squeeze your workout into next weeks crazy schedule? Organize your time during your run. Make that mind run with those legs!
10. Go for the Goal
If all else fails, focus on your goal. Whether you're training for a half marathon, a 5K or just trying to complete your first mile, reacquaint yourself with why you started running in the first place. Is it because you feel fantastic after running? Is it because you love the accomplishment of running longer and faster? Is it because it's helping you drop unwanted pounds? No matter your reason, chances are that once you remind yourself of goal, you'll feel motivated to lace up those running shoes yet again.

Pauly D And Friends Get Their Nose Hair Waxed
Pauly D and his crew aren't afraid of a little pampering. Last night on the new MTV reality series, "The Pauly D Project," Pauly D, Jerry and Biggie skipped the GTL and did a little MMW (manicures, massage, (nose hair) waxing) instead. Yes, you heard me right. They let estheticians put hot wax in their nostrils and rip the nose hair out. Gross. I didn't even know you could get your nose waxed. What's wrong with those nose hair trimmers? Is that not sufficient now when it comes to nasal grooming? [Huffington Post]
Jimmy Kimmel Asks "Jersey Shore" Dudes About "Hijinks In The Shower"
It's that time again: "Jersey Shore" infects your TV again tonight. (Itch, itch, itch.) God, I can't wait. "Mob Wives" return to television is not making me stupid enough. The boys stopped by Jimmy Kimmel's couch this week to talk tanning and Jimmy couldn't resist a question about whether there have ever been any dude-on-dude "hijinks in the shower." There haven't yet … at least none that anyone will admit to. I guess Deena's hookup with one of The Situation's twins in Italy was the first, and last, slightly gay thing to happen on that show.

Need An $18 Talking "Jersey Shore" Pen? Sure You Do!

And if you don't do laundry, you ain't got no clothes!" And you know which pen to grab if the cabs are here. They are available for your immediate satisfaction at MTV.com and … Walgreens.

The Good, The Bad & The WTF: "Jersey Shore" Clubs At Three Clubs, Fights Three Fights
"Being kicked out of the club? Meatball problems! Burning your cooca in the Jacuzzi? Meatball problems!" When Toys 'R Us makes a Snooki doll, this is what I want mine to say. Yes, on last night's episode of "Jersey Shore," Snooki and Deena got in an ice-cube throwing fight (!) at a club and got kicked to the curb on their leopard print-covered asses. But that's nothing compared to the two (!!) fights The Situation tried to start. Well, three fights, if you count the spatula that Deena threw at his head after he yelled something misogynist at her.
After the jump, the good, the bad and the WTF on last night's episode of "Jersey Shore":
Pauly D Toilet Papers Vinny
Oh, those crazy Macaroni Rascals. (Yeah, that's what the cast of "Jersey Shore" is being called in Japan.) In this video, Pauly D toilet papers Vinny as he sleeps. Sadly, this is the most interesting thing that's happened with Vinny all season. Is it just me, or has he gotten beyond boring? [Wet Paint] Keep reading »
Britney Spears Gives Pauly D A Lap Dance; Nicki Minaj Gives One To Drake, Too
Something must be in the water as Britney Spears and Nicki Minaj roll through Canada on their Femme Fatale tour. Throughout the tour, BritBrit has been pulling an audience member on stage and giving them a sexy lap dance. But over the weekend, Britney opted to give the dance to her tourmate, Pauly D, instead. Is it just me or does her look a little too comfortable getting handcuffed to that pole?
This is especially of note because at an earlier stop, Nicki Minaj gave a lap dance to Drake.

Is Britney Spears Touring with Enrique Iglesias Or Pauly D?
Yesterday on "Good Morning America," Britney Spears announced that she would be going on tour this summer with Enrique Iglesias. A few hours later, however, Enrique's people issued a statement saying that wasn't the case due to "scheduling conflicts." "Unfortunately, Enrique Iglesias and Britney Spears will not be touring together. Despite initial reports based on formal discussions of the possible run, Enrique will continue on his solo tour in support of his new album Euphoria," his spokesperson said. "Enrique has great respect for Britney and is a longtime fan of her work. He is very sorry for the confusion this might have caused to anyone." Hmmm, sounds like maybe her stilted dance moves scared him off.
But apparently, Britney has another possibility for a hot male co-star. Keep reading »
10 Unfortunate Effects of Watching 13 Hours of Jersey Shore In One Day
A couple weeks ago, I caught the nasty cold that's been going around. Coughing, feverish, and too tired to leave my couch, I drew the blinds and searched for comfort in the Netflix "instant watch" section. Instead I found Jersey Shore Season 2. I'd never seen the show before and thought this might be a good time to check it out and see what all the fuss is about. I ended up watching the entire season, continuously–all 13 hours of it.
I didn't eat. I didn't sleep. I had no interaction with any other human beings. The sun set outside my apartment sometime during episode 11, cloaking the world in darkness, and by the time the credits rolled for the season finale, I would barely recognize the person I'd become. Maybe watching one or two episodes of Jersey Shore is a fun thing to do every once in awhile, but taking in an entire season in one sitting will absolutely ruin your life. Here's how… Keep reading »

And welcome back to foxnews.com.
-- buzz story picking up a lot of steam up potential nationwide boycott by veterans of Spirit Airlines.
There was a that.
Who is tragically dying his name is Jerry meek and -- in his seventies now.
And he it was due to travel to visit his daughter and he bought a nonrefundable 197 dollar ticket.
And then got so sick with esophageal cancer that his doctor told them that he should not fly so Sydney made the trip.
By car -- but he did ask Spirit Airlines for a refund and they turned him down and veterans nationwide are.
Outraged over this and they are threatening to boycott the airline and joining us right now.
I'm questioning I'm so sorry I had pretty speaker -- you can tell us you can restore public on that airfare watchdog dot com.
Think you I had that in front of me someplace that I -- -- it.
And you you support the idea of boycotting spirit.
I think that's very should give the money back I think in this case at least they could give a credit for -- future flight I -- what would it cost them.
I think spirit is the most tone deaf.
Carolina when it comes to media relations and public relations.
And I also think that they think that any publicity is good publicity.
Well yeah -- I'm not so sure about that in this case that's for sure we're talking about potentially millions of people.
A boycott in the airline and Jerry weakens the man in question I think that it would be quite effective and let's listen to what he said this morning on enough fox and friends with.
Steve Doocy and and to Al is talking about the boycott -- you do you want people boycotts yes I do you do yes because I believe that.
Maybe a connection board meeting.
When this quarter's financial -- Bottom line as the -- maybe to board of directors -- safe city guide it's currently CEO.
-- little young maybe you better change your thoughts.
All right well we do -- -- response from my spirit we're gonna put that up on the screen now they say our reservations are nonrefundable which means we don't do refunds.
And we are not going to issue mr.
beacons or refund we received many requests for refunds every day for similar situations.
It wouldn't be fair to -- policy for one.
And not fall -- so at Georgia you know that's that's the crux of their defense is that you know.
People have reasons some of them very valid why they want there a refund on a nonrefundable ticket.
And we would have to set up a whole committee that would have to spend all their time analyzing these -- going to be the potential for fraud a lot of people can forge a doctor's know come up with something.
And that they just have to stick to their rule no exceptions.
Yeah actually there and a has been a lot of fraud in the past with doctors' notes and excuses.
But I do think that in this case spirit could at least issue a credit not a refund but a credit and it may never be used five perhaps.
A daughter a relative.
However other airlines have a similar policy.
But they are more bendable I know and one case somebody sent an email to us that airfare watchdog.
Her husband -- -- Shortly before -- it's going to take a flight and he had a heart attack.
And they had to nonrefundable tickets and originally your Terry said no we're not that -- -- but they they relented.
And if somebody's dead.
And they're not gonna fly I mean certainly -- you can't forge a a death certificate.
You know I think -- should be more flexible on this -- just be good for media relations and public relations.
Think that surprising to me that there is not a policy where if someone actually passes away.
That they don't get a refund but you know there is that and the airline industry will say well if you buy a Broadway tickets.
It's non refundable what the difference -- you can give that Broadway ticket to somebody else or sporting event ticket.
Or concert ticket so that argument doesn't wash with me and I don't think it washes with the general public because this ticket was non transferable he couldn't.
Postpone it use it for later trip -- he couldn't give it to a relative reference absolutely gone I mean I think if somebody to death certificate.
Coupon issue -- refunds.
Bora -- or credit what how could it hurt right well so and another argument that they make is that they offer insurance you can pay a little bit of extra.
For refund insurance so that is something like this happens you can -- claiming you can get your money back and that this was not purchased in this case and that's why they can't do.
Right and actually insurance is sometimes a good idea it -- maybe nine dollars a ticket or twelve dollars and ticket.
And it covers a lot of other things besides dying or are becoming fix them.
That might be a good.
Method to ensure against.
This kind of thing -- I have to provide proof to the insurance company yes and I'm sure that the airline gets a kick back from every policy that is purchased and that's the reason why they do it that way.
These guys just they just don't get it right it's about customer service which is something that you know.
We would like to thank the journalists.
Most companies -- be a little bit more -- Right so that's -- you might hear it it's an important point they're saying that that he was actually offered credit you sure about -- Okay they're saying that sure about that -- was offered a credit -- does that help.
That he could transfer to somebody else I think -- and somebody else use the credit I think that's fair.
No no -- can use the -- Yeah dead so that's an event really -- -- guy that's the same thing because the whole point is he can't fly he is dying of esophageal cancer now so it's not like he's gonna be able then.
Fly in a month.
Should be a coupon or thumb I keep on credit that can be applied by somebody else maybe -- -- immediate family.
A lot of airlines.
Some airlines actually now we'll give you.
A transferable ticket for fifty dollars -- Sunday as the -- in Europe.
You can transfer even Ryanair I believe which is notorious for fees I believe they won't give you.
For fifty dollars you can transfer -- the airline ticket to somebody else it was non refundable so -- Fair -- you know spirit says look the reason we have such low prices is because that we are kind of no frills shall we may -- be a big on customer service we don't -- these people.
Who can sit around and evaluate these claims and that's how we keep the prices low.
And if -- were to start providing that level of customer service everybody would be paying for it with a higher ticket.
Absolutely and and that's a valid argument for sure.
The fact of the matter is you know if they refunded -- -- 200 dollars it might have been the best 200 dollars they spent -- because I.
He's going on the FOX & Friends and if there that is very add very media savvy -- there apparently is.
-- -- and I don't want sort of turn the tables on dirtier but you know there's a culture of sort of this you know corporate air travel it's not as personal as it once was -- don't have these sales people who are given license to you whoever the discretion to.
Make personal exceptions here -- there.
And maybe you know with the rise of the Internet being a medium where everything is sort of electron you know the transactions are very electronic and not -- face to face.
It's difficult to make that sort of of them emotional appeal and people have to you know stay within the bounds of a very rigid policy that that have been set up and or to keep their first look for everybody I -- that argument.
Well yeah but you know Brian Conway says you know -- -- that as it may he's one of our -- most airlines will give a break to persons distress -- many offer for example bereavement fare for -- and west get to a funeral.
And -- short on money spirit needs to get burned for this George.
I think they will be you know a lot of people hate spirit.
Except when it's the only way they can afford to fly I mean you're often has the lowest -- by.

The Ancient Myth of Evolution: Sumeria to Darwin and Occult New Age
The theme which unites ancient Sumeria to Darwinian scientific humanism, Luciferian Theosophy, liberal theology, occult New Age mysticism and all other anti-Christian but specifically anti-creation ex nihilo movements is the myth of evolution.
The myth of evolution stretches back to antiquity where it is closely connected to the idea that man is a being who though presently limited in time and space is nevertheless capable of achieving a great leap of being and evolving into a much more powerful god-like being in the future. Thus in the Epic of Gilgamesh, an epic poem from Babylonia (ancient Sumeria) Gilgamesh describes himself as two-parts god and one-part man as the result of the evolution of his being.
Long before Darwin, Greek nature philosophers (600–100BC) were teaching primitive evolutionary conceptions, abiogenesis, natural selection, transmigration, reincarnation and vast ages together with many other modern assumptions. The fragments of Anaximander (c. 610–546 BC) show that he taught that 'humans originally resembled another type of animal, namely fish' while Democritus (c.460–370BC) taught that primitive people began to speak with 'confused' and 'unintelligible' sounds but 'gradually they articulated words.' The Greek Atomist Epicurus (341–270BC), the father of contemporary materialism and many of its' modern assumptions, taught that there was no need of a God or gods, for the Universe came about by a chance movement of atoms. (Evolution: An Ancient Pagan Idea, Paul James Griffith, creation.com)
Darwinism affirms the claim made by Epicurus that living beings created themselves, making Darwinism a modern Gnostic myth, said Dr. Wolfgang Smith, physicist and mathematics professor at Oregon State University:
"...As a scientific theory, Darwinism would have been jettisoned long ago. The point, however, is that the doctrine of evolution has swept the world, not on the strength of its scientific merits, but precisely in its capacity as a Gnostic myth. It affirms, in effect, that living things created themselves, which is in essence a metaphysical claim....Thus...evolutionism is a metaphysical doctrine decked out in scientific garb....it is a scientistic myth. And the myth is Gnostic, because it implicitly denies the transcendent origin of being; for indeed, only after the living creature has been speculatively reduced to an aggregate of particles does Darwinist transformism become conceivable. Darwinism, therefore, continues the ancient Gnostic practice of deprecating 'God the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth.' It perpetuates...the venerable Gnostic tradition of 'Jehovah bashing.'" (From Old Gnosticism to New Age I, Alan Morrison, SCP Journal Vol. 28:4-29:1, 2005, pp. 30-31)
With respect to long ages, Plato and many other Greek philosophers taught that the present Universe came about millions of years ago. Writing in the fourth century AD, Lactantius said:
"Plato and many others of the philosophers, since they were ignorant of the origin of all things, and of that primal period at which the world was made, said that many thousands of ages had passed since this beautiful arrangement of the world was completed … ." (ibid)
After the Greeks, the Roman naturalist Pliny the Elder (AD23–79) said we are so subject to chance,
"….that Chance herself takes the place of God; she proves that God is uncertain." (ibid)
Greek and Roman philosophers received these ideas from ancient Sumerians (Babylonians), Egyptians and Hindus, whose nature philosophies extended back centuries before Greek and Roman civilization. For example, one Hindu belief was that Brahman (the Void or Universe) spontaneously generated itself (the modern theory of abiogenesis) as something like a seed or singularity about 4.3 billion years ago and then evolved under its' own power by which it expanded and formed all that exists:
"These Hindus believed in an eternal Universe that had cycles of rebirth, destruction and dormancy, known as 'kalpas', rather like oscillating big bang theories. We also read in the Hindu Bhagavad Gita that the god Krishna says, 'I am the source from which all creatures evolve." (ibid, Griffith)
In India the doctrine of evolution/reincarnation/karma was thoroughly established from ancient times. It was expounded first in the Upanishads (c. 1000 BC - AD 4), the philosophical-mystic texts held to be the essence of the Vedas.
The idea that the soul reincarnates is intricately linked to karma, the idea that jiva-atmas (souls) pass from one plane of existence to another and carry with them samskaras (impressions) from former states of being. These karmic impressions on the soul are taken to the next life and result in a causally-determined state of being. In some schools of Hinduism liberation from the cycle of death and rebirth (samsara), is considered the ultimate goal of earthly existence. This is known as Moksha in Hinduism or nirvana in Buddhism. Other traditions assert that liberation from samsara is merely the beginning of real spiritual life and beyond nirvana, activities continue, but are no longer of a worldly nature. Both sides agree on the phenomenon of evolution/reincarnation.
In its modern Western version Darwinian evolution describes the progress (or transmigration) of energy as it emerged out of spontaneously generated matter (chemicals) and its successive incarnations within the bodies of different kinds of nonlife-bearing and life-bearing beings over the course of millions and billions of years. Its counterpart, spiritual evolution, bespeaks the progress of spirit or divine spark as it reincarnates within the bodies of different beings over the course of millions and billions of years. In the words of Emergent Church leader Rob Bell, evolution is energy,
"…. a spark, an electricity that everything is plugged into. The Greeks called it zoe, the mystics call it 'Spirit,' and Obi-Wan called it 'the Force'.....This energy, spark, and electricity that pulses through all of creation sustains it, fuels it, and keeps it growing. Growing, evolving, reproducing..." (Love Wins, pp. 144-145)
For Mystery Religion initiates and adepts however, evolution magically transforms man into superman:
"….the evolution of man into superman — was always the purpose of the ancient Mysteries, and the real purpose of modern Masonry is not the social and charitable purposes to which so much attention is paid, but the expediting of the spiritual evolution of those who aspire to perfect their own nature and transform it into a more god-like quality. And this is a definite science, a royal art, which it is possible for each of us to put into practice..." (The Meaning of Masonry, W.L. Wilmhurst, p. 47)
Evolution is an animated energy, serpent power or force which may or may not be divine depending on whether it is of the 'secular' Darwinian school of thought or of its' spiritually pantheist counterpart. In either case, this energy usually emanates from an impersonal substance which from antiquity has been known variously as the Void, Chaos, Ground of Being, and Brahman for example.
Evolution: the Antithesis of Christianity
"May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ" (1 Thessalonians 5:23).
According to Christian tradition, man is a tri-partite being consisting of spirit/soul and body. The soul is fully embedded within the body and its citadel, spirit (mind, will, conscience), is the part of man that distinguishes him from mere animal life and enables him to have a personal relationship with God, who is spirit (John 4:24). Each of these parts of man's nature are vitally connected and important in making him who he is: a person. All human beings are people, not evolved bags of chemicals, robotic humanoids, human resources, or mere aspects of the World Soul as Darwinism and pantheism respectively maintain.
In this respect Christianity differs radically from ancient pagan and modern Gnostic pagan dualistic systems that find expression in Darwinism, Gnostic-pagan Marxist Communism and occult New Age and Eastern religions such as Hinduism and Buddhism, where the body is regarded as something evil in which essence, energy, or perhaps divine spark is imprisoned and from which it must eventually escape. In these views man is either annihilated (reabsorbed) upon death or must go through many life and death cycles of evolution/reincarnation, returning over and over again to new bodies in this world where by good works and enlightenment his spark or essence may eventually escape the wheel of evolution/reincarnation and be absorbed into Nirvana.
In Romans 8, Paul speaks of our adoption as "sons of God" through receiving the indwelling Spirit (v. 15). He goes on to say that this adoption will one day include "the redemption of our bodies" (v. 23). James Packer, in "I Want to Be a Christian," sums up the New Testament idea of bodily resurrection in these words:
"The raising of the body means the restoring of the person—not just part of me—to active, creative and undying life for God and with God." (Resurrection, not Reincarnation, Christianity.co.nz)
While Darwinism speaks of annihilation and its' pantheist counterparts bespeak millions of death and life cycles, the Bible speaks of just one life followed by death and judgment:
"Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment" (Hebrews 14:6).
For post-Christian Westerners and Americans the most tempting of all reasons for embracing evolution/reincarnation over resurrection is that in doing away with Original Sin, it does away with the need of a Saviour as the fall is into matter thus there is neither judgment nor the prospect of damnation to an eternal hell. Evolution offers individuals the opportunity to choose either annihilation or reincarnation.
Another reason for embracing evolution and/or reincarnation over resurrection is that men believe it is much too difficult for them to achieve anywhere close to the state of moral perfection demanded by the Triune God without millions of opportunities or lives. This argument goes on to say that since the impersonal god of pantheism is love, he (it) gives men unlimited opportunities to work out their own salvation by evolution/reincarnation.
As a philosophical construct, evolution/reincarnation implies an ethical type of evolution by which an individual gradually evolves into moral perfection. And since God is an impersonal substance within the mind of man, then man controls his own moral evolution since there is no living moral Judge.
Hebrews 9:25-28 offers another perspective, one that the living God Who Revealed His Will to man is most clear about: you have only one lifetime in which to get right with God. Jesus Christ did not enter heaven to offer Himself again and again and again on behalf of millions of opportunities (lives),
"Otherwise Christ would have had to suffer many times since the creation of the world. But he has appeared once for all at the culmination of the ages to do away with sin by the sacrifice of himself. Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him."
Christianity therefore, speaks not of evolution/reincarnation but of bodily resurrection, the recreation of the body. In 2 Cor. 5 Paul describes our current bodies as tents, temporary dwellings that we will leave for a new permanent house, a new suit of clothes:
"Our bodies are like tents that we live in here on earth. But when these tents are destroyed, we know that God will give each of us a place to live. These homes will not be buildings that someone has made, but they are in heaven and will last forever….As long as we are in these bodies we are away from the Lord…..But whether we are at home with the Lord or away from him, we still try our best to please him. After all, Christ will judge each of us for the good or bad that we do while living in these bodies." (2 Cor. 5:1-10)
Professor D.M. Mackay of Keele University, who was one of Britain's foremost experts in the communications systems of the human brain, summarizes Paul's teaching, saying that in opposition to evolution/reincarnation, it is not as disembodied spirits,
"…that God promises us eternal life, but as personalities expressed in a new kind of body---what Paul calls a 'spiritual body.' Just as a message is still the same message, whether it's spoken in words or flashed in morse code, so, according to the Bible, we shall be the same persons, whatever the material form in which our personalities may be expressed. Nothing in the scientific picture of man, however complete it may one day become, could affect the truth of this doctrine one way or another." (ibid, Resurrection, not Reincarnation)
It has often been said that those who forget history and its' lessons are doomed to repeat its' follies. Solomon could very well have been warning us about the reappearance in our time of a very ancient folly, the myth of evolution/reincarnation when he wrote:
"What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, 'See, this is new?' It has been already in the ages before us. There is no remembrance of former things, nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be among those who come after." (Ecclesiastes 1: 9-11)

Don't get confused! There are lots of misunderstandings amongst foreigners about these nuances in the Netherlands!
In most countries, tapping the side of the head (around the temple) or twisting your finger indicates that someone is crazy - i.e. almost the exact opposite of what this gesture means in the Netherlands.Be careful with this gesture in Germany.
