Inactivation of Bacillus cereus vegetative cells by gastric acid and bile during in vitro gastrointestinal transit

Gut Pathogens 2012, 4:11 doi:10.1186/1757-4749-4-11Published: 3 October 2012
The foodborne pathogen Bacillus cereus can cause diarrhoeal food poisoning by production of enterotoxins in the small intestine. The prerequisite for diarrhoeal disease is thus survival during gastrointestinal passage.
Vegetative cells of 3 different B. cereus strains were cultivated in a real composite food matrix, lasagne verde, and their survival during subsequent simulation of gastrointestinal passage was assessed using in vitro experiments simulating transit through the human upper gastrointestinal tract (from mouth to small intestine).
No survival of vegetative cells was observed, despite the high inoculum levels of 7.0 to 8.0 log CFU/g and the presence of various potentially protective food components. Significant fractions (approx. 10% of the consumed inoculum) of B. cereus vegetative cells survived gastric passage, but they were subsequently inactivated by bile exposure in weakly acidic intestinal medium (pH 5.0). In contrast, the low numbers of spores present (up to 4.0 log spores/g) showed excellent survival and remained viable spores throughout the gastrointestinal passage simulation.
Vegetative cells are inactivated by gastric acid and bile during gastrointestinal passage, while spores are resistant and survive. Therefore, the physiological form (vegetative cells or spores) of the B. cereus consumed determines the subsequent gastrointestinal survival and thus the infective dose, which is expected to be much lower for spores than vegetative cells. No significant differences in gastrointestinal survival ability was found among the different strains. However, considerable strain variability was observed in sporulation tendency during growth in laboratory medium and food, which has important implications for the gastrointestinal survival potential of the different B. cereus strains.

The reason is funding, having enough money to get the job done.
"That's always the biggest bugaboo of documentary production."
Jeffery Mills of Documentary Alliance and IO Communications in Bellaire.
"It's very rare that you can get all of your funding up front, unlike a feature where you might have investors."
Mills says projects move forward in fits and starts. One of his projects is the compelling story of Pan American World Airways called "On the Wings of Giants." He began his research in the mid-90's and uncovered a story that has been lost to most of us.
"It was like examining the beginnings of the space program. It was that big and that exciting, and the pioneers of the business were bigger than life characters, it was like Indiana Jones on steroids. It was really amazing."
In the early 20th century there was an attitude among entrepreneurs that anything was possible. "Just Do It" was not a slogan; it was a way of life. Juan Trippe founded Pan Am in 1927 with a flight between Key West and Cuba and then began expanding through the Caribbean and South America.
"I mean it was true pioneering stuff. They were getting landing rights in countries that the United States had no diplomatic relations with in many cases. So Pan Am had this amazing aura outside the United States of almost being the United States. They were the flag carrier."
That image of Pan Am as the U.S. was so indelible that eventually it become a target of hijackings and finally to the tragedy over Lockerbie, Scotland that lead to its undoing.
Jeffery Mills began gathering interviews with the remaining survivors of the early Pan Am years and most recently was in Foynes, Ireland where in 1939 the Pan Am's "Yankee Clipper" made the first commercial direct flight from the U.S. to Europe. Today there's a museum and an exact replica of a luxury flying boat at Foynes.
That brings us to where the documentary is now.
"It is stalled, using an aviation term, waiting for additional funding."
Not an unusual situation for a documentary says Mills, and not one that can stop a compelling story from being told.
"We're determined to do it; we're usually inspired as we go back into the history of the company to see how they persevered against worse problems than this. It does push us along all the time."

Owls are rarely seen flying around during the daytime, but that's how one was spotted and saved right here in Hawaii.
Click here to watch Ashley Moser's report.
"There was a tree that fell on the wires and they had to cut it back. They found his home with a little baby in it. He was still in his down feathers, just a little guy," said zoo keeper Linda Meir.
But look at him now; Bubo the barn owl is healthy, strong and almost at full plumage today.
He lives at the Honolulu Zoo because right now it's illegal to release him into the wild.
Barn owls were deliberately introduced to Hawaii in the 1950s to deal with agricultural pests on farms. These guys feast on rodents, but now they are doing more harm than good.
"I guess they've found out that they are doing more to the insects, so it kind of defeated the purpose of bringing them in," said Linda.
The owls also pose a serious problem for Hawaiian bird species, taking food away from the native birds.
Owls are good at it, attacking prey with their sharp helix.
"It is the locking mechanism of their claws itself. That's when they grab on to something then click, so they don't have to worry about losing it," said Linda.
They also have ridiculously accurate hearing. The heart shape feathers around their face serves as a kind of listening cone and help the owls pinpoint sound around them.
"Because they are nocturnal, that's what they depend on – is the hearing."
If you take a look at Bubo's primary feathers they're serrated. That helps breaks up the wind when he flies and makes his flight near to silent.
Zoo keepers are hopeful to turn these predatory behaviors into learning tools during live interactions, even though Bubo can be a little camera shy.
The barn owls were recently added to an invasive species list, so not too many people rehabilitate them now.
They can only be held by institutions like the zoo for educational purposes.

Desalination is the process of removing salts and minerals from a medium, such as water or soil.
Around 97% of the water on planet earth is salt water, making it unsuitable for human consumption or irrigation. Desalinization can make this water usable, but the process is usually not cost efficient due to the energy required.
This article will focus on some ways to desalinate water that are cheap and available to just about anybody. They are often used to supply the poor in ocean front communities with safe water to drink.
The most common technique used to desalinate water is the process of distillation. Distillation is the separation of water molecules from other particles and pollutants, including salt and minerals. This is often done using to heat, to bring the water to boiling point. It can also be done using a vacuum chamber to reduce the pressure and bring the water to boiling point at lower temperatures. In both instances, the vapor is separated and condensed, resulting in fresh water, free of any salt or pollution.
Sometimes excess heat produced in places like power plants is used to desalinate water, creating a more efficient, dual purpose production process.
The excess salt produced for distillation can be used to make Epsom Salt, a common organic fertilizer. In industrial productions, it is often returned to the sea.
Some extra reading:
Is Distilled Water Safe to Drink?
In this section we will cover some simple homemade ways to desalinate water. They can be used in emergencies as a secondary water source, and can be used to purify water of all pollutants, not just salts and minerals.
Distillation Using Heat
The most common way water is distilled is by using heat. Here's how it's done:
- Store the water you wish to distill in a container that can be heated.
- Seal the top of this container, with the only opening being a tube that connects to a lower point.
- Connect this tube to a second container, and seal any openings so that no vapor can escape.
- Heat the first container so that the water inside reaches boiling point.
The water vapor will rise to the top of the first container, move through the tube, and collect in the second container. Here it will cool down and condense, returning to liquid form. This water has been distilled, with all salts, minerals and pollutants left behind in the first container.
Distillation Using Solar Energy
Solar energy can be harnessed to produce the energy needed to desalinate water. This article includes two designs for building solar water distillers.
Distillation Using a Vacuum Chamber
A vacuum chamber can also be used to distill water. In a vacuum, there is no environmental pressure holding the water molecules in a liquid state, and they convert to vapor. This vapor is collected and condensed like in the previous methods.
Read this article to learn more about vacuum chambers, and this one to learn how to build your own.
Good luck and stay prepared!

I'm having a job interview in a month. My writing, reading and listening are good. However, I have weak conversation skills. I need an efficient resource to improve my speaking. Any resource is acceptable (website, audio-book, online course, community, tests) and It'd be great if you had a successful experience with it yourself. I don't need to learn English, just the everyday conversation with fluency. The slightest improvement is good enough for me.
I don't know if this is an acceptable question here but any help is appreciated.

Archive for the 'Chevrolet C10' tag
Steve McQueen-owned Baja race truck sells for $60,000; other McQueen vehicles fail to sell at auction
1969 Chevrolet Baja race truck, once owned by Steve McQueen. Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions.
A Vic Hickey-prepared 1969 Chevrolet pickup Baja racer, once owned by Steve McQueen and said to be the first truck specifically constructed by GM for use in the Mexican 1000 Rally (the predecessor of the Baja 1000), sold at last weekend's Mecum Santa Monica auction for $60,000. One of four motorized vehicles (including a second pickup and a pair of motorcycles) associated with the late actor at the auction, the Chevrolet was the only one to go home with a new owner after topping its reserve price.
Debuting in the inaugural 1968 Mexican 1000, the Chevrolet pickup was first raced by Cliff Coleman and Johnny Diaz. A mere 80 miles from the starting line, it broke intake valves on six of its eight cylinders; despite this, Coleman and Diaz limped the pickup back to Ensenada, sourced a new pair of heads and returned to the race, finishing in just over 36 hours. The C10 (or technically, a K10 due to its four-wheel drive drivetrain) was next raced by Coleman in the 1969 Mint 400, before being purchased by McQueen (as part of a lot of GM-owned race vehicles) in 1970. There's no evidence that McQueen drove the truck himself, though off-road legend Mickey Thompson raced it to a win at Riverside during the actor's ownership. In 1972, the truck was among the holdings sold by McQueen to fund a divorce settlement, and Joe Metcalf, a Vic Hickey employee, bought it to use on his farm for several decades. Though no longer original (its original V-8 engine has been lost to time), the truck reportedly carried its original paint along with "period correct" decals. At a selling price of $60,000, its new owner received a relative bargain for a vehicle with both a racing pedigree and ties to McQueen; after all, a 1951 Chevrolet Styleline Deluxe convertible once owned by McQueen recently sold for $84,000.
1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup with custom camper shell.
A 1952 Chevrolet 3800 pickup with a custom-built camper shell and far more significant ties to McQueen also crossed the block in Santa Monica. Reportedly purchased by the late actor on a whim in February of 1978, it was said to be used on several cross-country camping trips. Oddly enough, it was also the vehicle chosen by McQueen for his drive to the Ventura County Airport on November 3, 1980, en route to his final (and futile) cancer surgery in Juarez, Mexico. According to Mecum's auction description, the truck carries its original engine, frame and body work, and still wears the same Forest Green paint it sported from the factory. The license plates are original, as is the mattress in the truck's custom-built "Dust-Tite" camper shell, meaning its next owner can sleep on the same cushion once occupied by McQueen himself. Bidding reached a high of $70,000, but that was not enough to meet the pickup's reserve.
1931 Harley-Davidson VL 74, restored following McQueen's death.
At the time of his death, McQueen was actively working on the restoration of several vehicles in his expansive collection. Among them was a 1931 Harley-Davidson VL 74, which has since been fully restored in period-correct colors with the original frame, bodywork and 74-cu.in. flathead V-twin engine. It's not clear if McQueen ever rode this particular motorcycle, though its a safe bet that the actor spent time disassembling the bike during its restoration process. Advertised as "not in running condition," the Harley-Davidson VL 74 bid up to $75,000, which failed to cover its reserve price.
1971 Husqvarna 400 Cross.
McQueen loved off-road motorcycles, too, and had an affinity for models made by Swedish firm Husqvarna. Frequently seen on "Husky" motorcycles, McQueen was photographed riding a Husky Cross for the cover of Sports Illustrated magazine, and also opted for a Husky Cross in a scene from the classic documentary On Any Sunday. In August of 1971, McQueen purchased a 1971 Husqvarna 360 Enduro, but found this particular model didn't suit his preferences. Instead, McQueen swapped the bike for the Husqvarna 400 Cross offered by Mecum, which he took delivery of in February of 1972. McQueen's Husky Cross underwent an extensive restoration in 2012, including an engine rebuild and a respray of frame and bodywork in period-correct colors. Since restoration, the bike has not been started (though it's assumed to be in running condition), meaning the next owner gets to decide if the bike will be ridden or preserved for static display only. Bidding reached a high of $50,000, but the McQueen Husqvarna was a no-sale at this price.

UPDATE 7/31: The brown tweed sport coat worn by Steve McQueen in Bullitt achieved a hammer price of $720,000 at Monday's Profiles in History sale. This easily beat the low pre-auction estimate of $600,000, but failed to best the high estimate of $800,000.
Steve McQueen's 1969 Chevrolet C10, the first GM factory-backed Baja 1000 truck, heads to auction
The Chevrolet-backed Vic Hickey race truck, formerly owned by Steve McQueen. Photos courtesy Mecum Auctions.
For those passionate about off-road racing, the name Vic Hickey is the stuff of legend. Once employed by General Motors as a research and development engineer, Hickey conceptualized vehicles like the Trailblazer (which would ultimately evolve into the production Chevrolet Blazer), the Baja Boot, along with the very first GM-backed 4×4 race truck, a 1969 Chevrolet C10 pickup constructed specifically for the 1968 Mexican 1000 Rally, the race that would eventually become the Baja 1000. That C10, which later found a home in Steve McQueen's collection, will head to auction next month.
Built by Hickey to win in the Production 4WD Truck class, the C10 was first campaigned by Cliff Coleman and Johnny Diaz. Just 80 miles into the event, the engine swallowed intake valves on six of its eight cylinders; running on just a pair of cylinders, Coleman and Diaz returned to Ensenada and sourced two new heads from a local Chevrolet dealer. Seven hours later, the pair returned to the race with no hope of victory; still, the truck managed to finish the event in a little more than 36 hours.
Coleman next raced the C10 in the 1969 Mint 400 before McQueen bought it (in a lot with other GM-owned race vehicles) in 1970. Though McQueen himself never raced the truck, Mickey Thompson did drive it to a win at Riverside (in the track's first off-road event) during McQueen's ownership. In 1972, the actor was forced to liquidate assets in a divorce from his first wife, and the truck then went to Joe Metcalf, an employee of Vic Hickey Enterprises well versed in the truck's history. This turned out to be a good thing; though Metcalf used the truck as a farm vehicle, it remained in "as raced" condition, racking up relatively few miles in the ensuing decades.
As described by Mecum, the pickup features a period-correct (though not original) 350-cu.in. Chevrolet V-8, bolted to a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400 transmission. Its red paint and Lucas spotlight are original, as is the Hickey-constructed roll cage. Front and rear differential covers are the original Hickey-manufactured pieces, but items such as the fuel tanks have been reconstructed to match the original design. The Corvette-sourced seats are original, but have been fitted with new foam and new upholstery. Sponsor decals, while not original, are period correct (as is the Motorola CB radio).
While anything with a Steve McQueen association is likely to draw significant bids, this truck should appeal to a much broader audience as well. Though Hickey's drivers never saw victory in the truck, it's safe to say that the concepts pioneered by the truck (and Hickey's other off-road efforts) helped the designer build an off-road parts empire. Hickey would ultimately be part of the design team for vehicles as diverse as the lunar rover and the original FMC-branded High-Mobility, Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle, what ultimately became known as the "Humvee." As an early effort of the designer's post-GM days, the race truck represents more than a small bit of automotive history.
Mecum's Celebrity Items auction is not the first time the truck has been offered for sale. It's been presented at earlier Mecum events (where it appeared not to sell), and it's been offered for private sale on the Internet in the past. Ties to Steve McQueen aside, the truck's racing heritage alone makes it an attractive addition to anyone's vintage racing collection.
Mecum's Celebrity Items Auction is scheduled to take place July 26-27, in Santa Monica, California. For more information, visit Mecum.com.
Hemmings Find of the Day – 1965 Chevrolet C10 Custom Camper
If it seems like plenty of mid-1960s GM Camper Special pickups have come up for sale recently, that's because we've posted every one we've seen, including this 1965 Chevrolet C10 Custom Camper for sale on Hemmings.com. After all, how can you say no to those painted dog-dish hubcaps, that nifty two-tone paint and the overall simplicity of such a rugged truck? Besides, the seller seems to know quite a bit about these trucks, so we'll let him share that knowledge:
The Custom Camper option was developed to address the camping craze of the early/mid sixties. It basically is your standard C-20, 3/4 ton truck. Chevy beefed up the suspension to handle a full sized camper by adding heavy duty shocks and helper springs in the rear and a stabilizer bar up front. A 327 was offered which makes it the first light truck to get the 327 [an option to all light trucks starting in '66]. The Custom Camper option was also dressed up a bit with a chrome front bumper and grill, chrome cab flags, a drivers arm rest [ooh!], both driver and passenger visors, tinted windshield and west coast mirrors.
This truck still has it's original 327, not sure of the mileage, but it runs strong and purrs like a kitten. Only thing I've done to it in the last 10 years has been to add a new Centerforce clutch. Other than that, it has been flawless. Most of the sheet metal under the hood has also been powder coated for durability. Motor isn't fancy, but it's clean and doesn't leak any oil. It powers the original 4-speed tranny [three speeds plus a compound first], power brakes [a later addition] and it has most of the original air-conditioning components [all the hard to find/expensive stuff].
New stainless steel brake and fuel lines were added as well as a new wiring harness. It's a solid truck that runs and drives well. Interior could use some tlc [horse blanket seat cover over original tattered upholstery]. The whole truck underwent a body off, driver restoration six years ago. Paint is a 7 out of a 10, a few chips, minor paint bubbling in door corners a little more on the hood, otherwise it presents nicely. It really does look good. Originally the truck was solid white, I changed it to light green and white, [an original combination for '65], and added the deluxe side trim because it looks really good with the trim. It has a black painted pine bed with new stainless steel hardware. An original California truck, during the restoration a NOS drivers bedside, tailgate and two front fenders were fitted so the truck has a lot of perfect NOS metal. It has the original 16″ split rims that have been powder coated and caped with a set of NOS hubcaps [until you try to find a replacement hubcap for these 16″ wheels, you can't begin to appreciate this NOS set]. They also come wrapped in a new set of LT235/85R-16 Dunlop Radial Rover's. Also a new set of shocks cover all four corners.
As a bonus for local buyers I have a lot of extra new parts, many NOS, many hard to find that will come with the truck. An extra new front bumper, NOS front bumper over riders, near mint original aluminum grill, new door glass, and a whole lot more.
I built this to be a driver and it's 95 percent there. A few weekend projects will make this truck even better and make it more personal to you. It runs and drives well. It is a very solid truck. I've owned it for 10 years and because of a few new projects, I need the garage space.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1977 Chevrolet C10 Silverado
The long-lived 1973-1987 generation of GM pickups – the ones some people call the "rounded-line" models – tended to get overlooked by many collectors. After all, they were fairly ubiquitous for a few decades all over the country and remain so today in certain parts of the country, say, Texas, where this 1977 Chevrolet C10 Silverado did the Rip Van Winkle thing for a while before its current owners put it up for sale on Hemmings.com. From the seller's description:
1977 Chevrolet Silverado lwb truck with only 6,700 original miles. Absolutely everything on the truck is original except the tires, fuel pump, fuel tanks, battery, spark plugs, and oil filter. Starts with a flick of the switch and drives like it's new. The a/c is freezing cold, but only operates on the max setting. Nothing leaks.
The truck sat untouched in a central Texas garage for 28 years. It still has its 1983 inspection sticker and original plates. It looks as nothing has ever been hauled in the bed.

Despite a late first pitch close to 8 p.m, Northgate's varsity softball team could have still been home in time to find out who went home on Dancing With the Stars.
On Tuesday against Creekside in its opening game of this week's Region 4-AAAAA tournament, all the stars were Lady Vikings.
Entering the postseason for the first time since winning a Class AAAA title in 2011, Northgate, now ranked No. 1 in Class AAAAA, capped off a 16-0 blanking of the Lady Seminoles with a 13-run third inning helping seal a no-hitter for senior pitcher Carleigh Myatt. Myatt struck out all nine batters she faced while the Lady Vikings got all the runs they needed in a three-run first at bat.
Outfielder Ebonee Echols went 3-for-3 with three runs and three RBIs as top-seeded Northgate (22-5) easily advanced in its mini-bracket as one of three host sites during the first day of tournament play.
Action in 4-AAAAA picks up today with all games being played at Lovejoy Park.
Myatt, Rachel Cook, Stephanie Brown, Brenna Skalski, Katie Burns, Jenna Pealor and Casey Kent had one hit apiece. Cook had a two-run single while Pealor had an RBI double. Brown and Kent also drove in runs in the victory.

The Bible declares that Jesus was/is God the Son who in His incarnation (birth into human history as fully God and fully man) provided for us the clearest and most important revelation of God that has ever been or ever will be and can alone forgive our sins and grant us salvation.
InHebrews 1:1-3 we read, "In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven."
The question of Jesus is of vital importance because while many people believe such things as that Jesus lived, was a good teacher, or a very spiritual man, there remains many erroneous perspectives of Him that deny that He is God. The Apostle Paul spoke of this propensity to reduce the majesty of the real Jesus in favor of a diluted and diminished Jesus that in the end is no longer truly Jesus at all. In2 Corinthians 11:3-4 Paul writes, "But I am afraid that just as Eve was deceived by the serpent's cunning, your minds may somehow be led astray from your sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough."
To help you determine your own personal belief about Jesus we have compiled the following eight reasons and hope they will compel you to receive Him as your own God. Each line of reasoning includes a verse from the Bible that is a quote from the mouth of Jesus declaring that He was/is God. Jesus was put to death for continually declaring Himself to be God and in the end it really comes down to whether or not each of us believes Him and on that point His words become incredibly personal and pertinent.
Throughout the history of the world, there have been numerous people who claim to speak for God, but there has also been a surprisingly short list of people who have actually claimed to be God. For example, such religious leaders as Buddha, Krishna, Muhammad, and Ghandi did not claim to be God. But, Jesus clearly and repeatedly said He was God.
Mark 14:61-64 "Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, 'Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?' 'I am,' said Jesus. 'And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.' The high priest tore his clothes. 'Why do we need any more witnesses?' he asked. 'You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?'"
John 8:58-59 "I tell you the truth,' Jesus answered, 'before Abraham was born, I am!' At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds."
John 10:30-33 "I and the Father are one.' Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, 'I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?' 'We are not stoning you for any of these,' replied the Jews, 'but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.'"
John 14:8-9 "Philip said, 'Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us.' Jesus answered: 'Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?'"
On a very rare occasion someone will claim that they have been taken into heaven for a brief experience of its grandeur. Examples would include people who claim to have had a near death experience, and the founder of Islam Mohammad who claimed that on one occasion he was taken from earth to heaven. But, Jesus claimed to have come down from His eternal home in heaven, a claim which has never been made by the founder of any other world religion and evidence that Jesus was/is God because God alone dwells in heaven eternally.
John 6:38,41-42,60,66 "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me . . .' At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, 'I am the bread that came down from heaven.' They said, 'Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?' . . . On hearing it, many of his disciples said, 'This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?' . . . From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him."
John 16:28 "I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father."
John 8:46 "Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me?"
In the history of the world no one has claimed with any credibility that they are without sin because to do so is to declare that one's words, actions, thoughts, and motivations are continually perfect and pure. And, as the old adage goes, no one is perfect. Even those religious leaders who are widely recognized as the most devout and morally upright (e.g. Mohammad, or Ghandi) have claimed that they were indeed sinners. But, Jesus declared that He was not only morally superior to everyone who has ever lived, but in fact sinless. The perfect sinless of Jesus makes Him admittedly more holy and worthy of our devotion than anyone who has ever lived and helps to prove that He was/is God because God alone is without sin.
Mark 2:5 "When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, 'Son, your sins are forgiven.'"
While much of the resources in our world are spent on dealing with the effects of sin (e.g. war, illness, death, depression, crime, poverty, etc.) there is still no way for people to have their sins forgiven so that they might be cleansed from their stains. At best, some religions try to teach their adherents what they can do to work hard at paying God back through such things as good works and reincarnation, they still lack any concept of forgiveness. But, Jesus forgave sin because He was/is God and since all sin is ultimately committed against Him, He alone has the power to forgive the sins of sinners.
John 14:6 "Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
John 11:25 "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.'"
While there are many religious and spiritual teachers who claim that they can point you to heaven's path, they themselves do not claim that they are that path. But, Jesus promised that He was the way to eternal life in heaven. This also proves that Jesus was/is God because since heaven belongs to God, it is God alone who determines who will live with Him forever there. And, Jesus' ability to give spiritual life after physical death to those who believe in Him is further evidence that He was/is God who rules over heaven and our eternity.
Matthew 26:63-65 "But Jesus remained silent. The high priest said to him, 'I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.' 'Yes, it is as you say,' Jesus replied. 'But I say to all of you: In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.' Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, 'He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? Look, now you have heard the blasphemy.'"
Not only did Jesus repeatedly declare that He was God, but He also reiterated this fact when others who doubted or opposed that claim inquired of Him. For example, as the verse above describes an occasion in which a religious leader sought to condemn Jesus publicly for committing blasphemy, or declaring Himself to be God. The penalty for blasphemy was death and if Jesus were not convinced that He was God then we would expect Him to clarify the misunderstanding about Himself in an effort to avoid a bloody death. But, Jesus declared that He was God which further proves that everyone throughout history who has believed that Jesus claimed to be God has not misunderstood His words but rather understood them clearly.
Matthew 14:33 "Then those who were in the boat worshiped him Jesus, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
John 9:38 "Then the man said, 'Lord Jesus, I believe,' and he worshiped him."
The 10 Commandments which governed the life and worship of God's people begin with the declaration of who God is and the commands to worship God alone and no one or nothing but Him (Exodus 20:1-17). To worship anyone or anything other than the One True God as the incredibly sin of idolatry that is forbidden throughout the Bible. But, Jesus freely welcomed other people to call Him God and worship Him as God without correcting or rebuking them for being in error. Therefore, Jesus acceptance of worship also proves that He was God.
"Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures . . ." -1 Corinthians 15:1–4
What is the Gospel? The word gospel simply means "good news." The central message of the Bible is the gospel, or good news, about the person and work of Jesus Christ. In1 Corinthians 15:1–4, Paul provides the most succinct summary of the gospel: the man Jesus is also God, or Christ, and died on a cross in our place, paying the penalty for our sins; three days later He rose to conquer sin and death and give the gift of salvation to all who believe in Him alone for eternal life.
The great reformer Martin Luther rightly said that, as sinners, we are prone to pursue a relationship with God in one of two ways. The first is religion/spirituality and the second is the gospel. The two are antithetical in every way.
Religion says that if we obey God He will love us. The gospel says that it is because God has loved us through Jesus that we can obey.
Religion says that the world is filled with good people and bad people. The gospel says that the world is filled with bad people who are either repentant or unrepentant.
Religion says that you should trust in what you do as a good moral person. The gospel says that you should trust in the perfectly sinless life of Jesus because He alone is the only good and truly moral person who will ever live.
The goal of religion is to get from God such things as health, wealth, insight, power, and control. The goal of the gospel is not the gifts God gives, but rather God as the gift given to us by grace.
Religion is about what I have to do. The gospel is about what I get to do. Religion sees hardship in life as punishment from God. The gospel sees hardship in life as sanctifying affliction that reminds us of Jesus' sufferings and is used by God in love to make us more like Jesus. Religion is about me. The gospel is about Jesus.
Religion leads to an uncertainty about my standing before God because I never know if I have done enough to please God. The gospel leads to a certainty about my standing before God because of the finished work of Jesus on my behalf on the cross.
Religion ends in either pride (because I think I am better than other people) or despair (because I continually fall short of God's commands). The gospel ends in humble and confident joy because of the power of Jesus at work for me, in me, through me, and sometimes in spite of me.
The following statement of belief is not a creed, merely a general and non-exhaustive confession of common beliefs that underlie what we do and teach at Main Street. The necessity of sound doctrine in the church is a clear and consistent theme of the New Testament. Believers are right to be concerned about doctrine because true belief is essential to our spiritual health, the standard by which conduct is evaluated, the faith for which we contend, and the teachings that we uphold. We rightly believe that the truth of scripture is quite important.
We also believe that our humility concerning our understanding of the truth is quite important, and that the Bible itself is our creed. The Bible itself, not our confession of what we believe the Bible teaches, is the final authority. Christian confessions are not infallible, for infallibility is a condition unique to the Bible. In humility we stand under the authority of the scriptures, and in humility we acknowledge that we will be growing in our understanding of them until Jesus comes. Therefore, no statement of faith, including the one that follows, is beyond scrutiny.
However, a general statement of what a church believes is helpful in that a confession stands as a contemporary expression of faith, identifies a church in a time of varied theological leanings, and provides a guide by which people within and without can evaluate conduct and distinctiveness. Our hope is that the statement of belief which follows gives you a sufficient understanding of the type of church we are in terms of our convictions.
We believe in one God, eternally existing in three equally divine Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, who know, love, and glorify one another. This one true and living God is infinitely perfect both in his love and in his holiness. He is the Creator of all things, visible and invisible, and is therefore worthy to receive all glory and adoration. Immortal and eternal, he perfectly and exhaustively knows the end from the beginning, sustains and sovereignly rules over all things, and providentially brings about his eternal good purposes to redeem a people for himself and restore his fallen creation, to the praise of his glorious grace.
God has graciously disclosed his existence and power in the created order, and has supremely revealed himself to fallen human beings in the person of his Son, the incarnate Word. Moreover, this God is a speaking God who by his Spirit has graciously disclosed himself in human words: we believe that God has inspired the words preserved in the Scriptures, the sixty-six books of the Old and New Testaments, which are both record and means of his saving work in the world. These writings alone constitute the God-breathed Word of God, written by men and inspired by God, which is utterly authoritative and without error in the original writings, complete in its revelation of his will for salvation, sufficient for all that God requires us to believe and do, and final in its authority over every domain of knowledge to which it speaks. We confess that both our finitude and our sinfulness preclude the possibility of knowing God's truth exhaustively, but we affirm that, enlightened by the Spirit of God, we can sufficiently know God's revealed truth. The Bible is to be believed, as God's instruction, in all that it teaches; obeyed, as God's command, in all that it requires; and trusted, as God's pledge, in all that it promises. As God's people hear, believe, and do the Word, they are equipped as disciples of Christ and witnesses to the gospel.
We believe that God created human beings, male and female, in his own image. Adam and Eve belonged to the created order that God himself declared to be very good, serving as God's agents to care for, manage, and govern creation, living in holy and devoted fellowship with their Maker. Men and women, equally made in the image of God, enjoy equal access to God by faith in Christ Jesus and are both called to move beyond passive self-indulgence to significant private and public engagement in family, church, and civic life. Adam and Eve were made to complement each other in a one-flesh union that establishes the only normative pattern of sexual relations for men and women, such that marriage ultimately serves as a type of the union between Christ and his church. In God's wise purposes, men and women are not simply interchangeable, but rather they complement each other in mutually enriching ways. God ordains that they assume distinctive roles which reflect the loving relationship between Christ and the church, the husband exercising headship in a way that displays the caring, sacrificial love of Christ, and the wife submitting to her husband in a way that models the love of the church for her Lord. In the ministry of the church, both men and women are encouraged to serve Christ and to be developed to their full potential in the manifold ministries of the people of God.
We believe that Adam, made in the image of God, distorted that image and forfeited his original blessedness—for himself and all his progeny—by falling into sin through Satan's temptation. As a result, all human beings are alienated from God, corrupted in every aspect of their being (e.g., physically, mentally, volitionally, emotionally, spiritually) and condemned finally and irrevocably to death—apart from God's own gracious intervention. The supreme need of all human beings is to be reconciled to the God under whose just and holy wrath we stand; the only hope of all human beings is the undeserved love of this same God, who alone can rescue us and restore us to himself.
We believe that the gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ—God's very wisdom. Utter folly to the world, even though it is the power of God to those who are being saved, this good news is christological, centering on the cross and resurrection: the gospel is not proclaimed if Christ is not proclaimed, and the authentic Christ has not been proclaimed if his death and resurrection are not central (the message is "Christ died for our sins . . . [and] was raised"). This good news is biblical (his death and resurrection are according to the Scriptures), theological and salvific (Christ died for our sins, to reconcile us to God), historical (if the saving events did not happen, our faith is worthless, we are still in our sins, and we are to be pitied more than all others), apostolic (the message was entrusted to and transmitted by the apostles, who were witnesses of these saving events), and intensely personal (where it is received, believed, and held firmly, individual persons are saved).
We believe that, moved by love and in obedience to his Father, the eternal Son became human: the Word became flesh, fully God and fully human, one Person in two natures. The man Jesus, the promised Messiah of Israel, was conceived through the miraculous agency of the Holy Spirit, and was born of the virgin Mary. He perfectly obeyed his heavenly Father, lived a sinless life, performed miraculous signs, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead on the third day, and ascended into heaven. As the mediatorial King, he is seated at the right hand of God the Father, exercising in heaven and on earth all of God's sovereignty, and is our High Priest and righteous Advocate. We believe that by his incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension, Jesus Christ acted as our representative and substitute. He did this so that in him we might become the righteousness of God: on the cross he canceled sin, satisfied God, and, by bearing the full penalty of our sins, reconciled to God all those who believe. By his resurrection Christ Jesus was vindicated by his Father, broke the power of death and defeated Satan who once had power over it, and brought eternal life to all his people; by his ascension he has been forever exalted as Lord and has prepared a place for us to be with him. We believe that salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved. Because God chose the lowly things of this world, the despised things, the things that are not, to nullify the things that are, no human being can ever boast before him—Christ Jesus has become for us wisdom from God—that is, our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.
We believe that Christ, by his obedience and death, fully discharged the debt of all those who are justified. By his sacrifice, he bore in our stead the punishment due us for our sins, making a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God's justice on our behalf. By his perfect obedience he satisfied the just demands of God on our behalf, since by faith alone that perfect obedience is credited to all who trust in Christ alone for their acceptance with God. Inasmuch as Christ was given by the Father for us, and his obedience and punishment were accepted in place of our own, freely and not for anything in us, this justification is solely of free grace, in order that both the exact justice and the rich grace of God might be glorified in the justification of sinners. We believe that a zeal for personal and public obedience flows from this free justification.
We believe that this salvation, attested in all Scripture and secured by Jesus Christ, is applied to his people by the Holy Spirit. Sent by the Father and the Son, the Holy Spirit glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ, and, as the Comforter who walks beside us every step of the way, is present with and in believers. He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, and by his powerful and mysterious work regenerates spiritually dead sinners, awakening them to repentance and faith, baptizing them into union with the Lord Jesus, such that they are justified before God by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone. By the Spirit's agency, believers are renewed, sanctified, and adopted into God's family; they participate in the divine nature and receive his sovereignly distributed gifts. The Holy Spirit is himself the down payment of the promised inheritance, and in this age indwells, guides, instructs, equips, revives, and empowers believers for Christ-like living and service.
We believe that those who have been saved by the grace of God through union with Christ by faith and through regeneration by the Holy Spirit enter the kingdom of God and delight in the blessings of the new covenant: the forgiveness of sins, the inward transformation that awakens a desire to glorify, trust, and obey God, and the prospect of the glory yet to be revealed. Good works constitute indispensable evidence of saving grace. Living as salt in a world that is decaying and light in a world that is dark, believers should neither withdraw into seclusion from the world, nor become indistinguishable from it: rather, we are to do good to the city, for all the glory and honor of the nations is to be offered up to the living God. Recognizing whose created order this is, and because we are citizens of God's kingdom, we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, doing good to all. The kingdom of God, already present but not fully realized, is the exercise of God's sovereignty in the world toward the eventual redemption of all creation. The kingdom of God is an invasive power that plunders Satan's dark kingdom and regenerates and renovates through repentance and faith the lives of individuals rescued from that kingdom. It therefore inevitably establishes a new community of human life together under God.
We believe that God's new covenant people are already seated with Christ in the heavenlies. This universal church is manifest in local churches of which Christ is the only Head; thus each local church is, in fact, the church, the household of God, the assembly of the living God, and the pillar and foundation of the truth. The church is the body of Christ, the apple of his eye, graven on his hands, and he has pledged himself to her forever. The church is distinguished by her gospel message, her sacred ordinances, her discipline, her great mission, and, above all, by her love for God, and by her members' love for one another and for the world. Crucially, this gospel we cherish has both personal and corporate dimensions, neither of which may properly be overlooked. Christ Jesus is our peace: he has not only brought about peace with God, but also peace between alienated peoples. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both Jew and Gentile to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. The church serves as a sign of God's future new world when its members live for the service of one another and their neighbors, rather than for self-focus. The church is the corporate dwelling place of God's Spirit, and the continuing witness to God in the world.
We believe that baptism and the Lord's Supper are ordained by the Lord Jesus himself. The former is connected with entrance into the new covenant community, the latter with ongoing covenant renewal. Together they are simultaneously God's pledge to us, divinely ordained means of grace, our public vows of submission to the once crucified and now resurrected Christ, and anticipations of his return and of the consummation of all things.
We believe in the personal, glorious, and bodily return of our Lord Jesus Christ with his holy angels, when he will exercise his role as final Judge, and his kingdom will be consummated. We believe in the bodily resurrection of both the just and the unjust—the unjust to judgment and eternal conscious punishment in hell, as our Lord himself taught, and the just to eternal blessedness in the presence of him who sits on the throne and of the Lamb, in the new heaven and the new earth, the home of righteousness. On that day the church will be presented faultless before God by the obedience, suffering and triumph of Christ, all sin purged and its wretched effects forever banished. God will be all in all and his people will be enthralled by the immediacy of his ineffable holiness, and everything will be to the praise of his glorious grace.

September 26, 2010
The Department of Defense recently purchased and destroyed thousands of copies of an Army Reserve officer's memoir in an effort to safeguard state secrets, a spokeswoman said Saturday.
"DoD decided to purchase copies of the first printing because they contained information which could cause damage to national security," Pentagon spokeswoman Lt. Col. April Cunningham said.

Turning Detroit's blight into a bright green canopy
A strange thing happens when you drive from Grosse Pointe Park into Detroit.
At the crossroads of Alter Road and Jefferson Avenue, the scenery gets real ugly real quick. Here is the visual reminder that Metro Detroit is a community of haves and have nots.
In Grosse Pointe, you have stately homes, cute retail shops and green, leafy tree canopies. A few feet away, Detroit is concrete, shuttered storefronts and weeds.
Jon Cotton looks at the same scene every day as he drives from his home in the Pointes to his office downtown. But instead of seeing blight, Cotton sees potential.
Cotton, along with non-profit agency The Greening of Detroit, is bringing the trees back to Jefferson Avenue.
First, a short history. Between 1950 and 1980, Detroit lost some 500,000 trees to Dutch elm disease, urban expansion and attrition, according to Paul Bairley, director of Urban Forestry for The Greening of Detroit.
Over those years, Detroit just didn't have the money or resources to save its trees. In 1989, Detroit was losing an average of four trees for every one planted, the non-profit group said. Jefferson Avenue, once fully forested, now looks barren.
(The Grosse Pointes, however, had the money and community support to save many of its elm and ash trees from the same fate. Hence, its canopy remains and its residents continue to enjoy their "Happy Days"-like existence. For disclosure purposes, I lived a block away from Alter and Jefferson for two years; my descriptions are no exaggeration.)
Back to Cotton. The businessman contact the Greening of Detroit for help with his vision: To bring the canopy of trees back to Detroit. The group mapped out Jefferson Avenue and told Cotton it would take $300,000 and a year to plant some 540 trees along the stretch between Grosse Pointe and Detroit.
Through his family's company, insurance holding company Caidan Enterprises Inc., Cotton donated the money with one stipulation. The trees had to go in, pronto.
So between October and November, more than 200 volunteers will plant trees every 30 feet along the Avenue. (No start date yet – the city needs to issue permits because it is a commercial corridor. And, as always, there is a wait to get them, Bairley admitted.)
This is not the only spot The Greening is helping. Over the next five years, the group will embark on massive tree plantings to help reforest areas hardest hit by the Emerald Ash Borer, planting 45,000 trees on neighborhood streets and major thoroughfares.
"We're here to do the work," Bairley said, especially because a healthy urban forest on Jefferson Avenue will prevent storm water runoff into the Detroit River, reduce air pollution, produce oxygen and provide climatic cooling and beautification.
Another important player is Jim Meyers, a highly-regarded landscape artist with Historical Courtyards and Gardens, who helped with the planting design, tree procurement and finding a network of local contractors to cut through the concrete, put in rich new dirt and make sure growth happens.
Cotton will be there when the first shovel hits the dirt. He plans to bring his two children, ages 1 and 3, to the first day of work so they can see history in the making.
"I'm going to stand out in the road with my two children and take a picture. And they can do the same with their children in 80 years. That's my big dream," Cotton said.
Me, too. I plan on volunteering. If you want to help, check it out here.

Everything you need to know about baby food
We've got tasty recipes for bub, tips for starting your child on solids and more. more
Halloween used to be considered an American tradition, but Australians are embracing the idea of dressing up in spooky costumes and trick-or-treating on October 31. Technically a day to celebrate the dead, Halloween has mostly been known as a northern-hemisphere celebration, but many Aussie neighbourhoods have now come to expect roving groups of trick-or-treaters on Halloween night - most with desperately hopeful looks on their ghoulishly cute faces, and a half-embarrassed parent hovering just in view on the footpath.
Here are some fun ways you can celebrate Halloween, without breaking the bank or worrying about stranger danger, and you won't bother the neighbours who aren't interested in participating either!
Avoid trick-or-treat disappointment by letting your neighbourhood in on the secret - that is, do a neighbourhood mailbox drop a week before Halloween. Remind each household that they may have some little trick-or-treaters coming by on the evening of October 31. Pop a Halloween-themed sticker in each envelope, for each neighbour to stick on their letterbox or front door to show they are willing to participate. This way, you know which homes are keen to welcome the kids on Halloween, and they also get a handy reminder to stock up their treats to hand out on the big day!
You don't have to spend money on treats or even leave the house to enjoy some Halloween fun. Just try these fun crafts and Halloween games for all ages and let the kids decorate their own bedrooms with their creations for Halloween.
Try these easy and YUMMY recipe ideas for your Halloween party or lunchbox treat. You may even like to take a batch in to your child's classroom or give these as your treats when little ghosts, fairies and superheroes come knocking!
A Halloween party is one of the easiest themes to prepare. Invite the neighbours or some family friends, and you'll have a seriously fun October 31. Fantastic decorations and supplies are readily available in novelty and discount shops - vampire invitations, skeleton decorations and spooky witches party hats. You only need to duck down to your local supermarket to find cheap party favours and stock up on a range of costumes and masks as well. If you're on a tight budget, don't forget to browse Kidspot's Activity Finder for fun ideas to create the perfect Halloween party with fun party invitations, decorations and games you can create yourself. You can also find an amazing range of party goodies, costumes and services online, so get browsing!
Kidspot Social is a thriving community of mums, all chatting together about their world - from parenting and relationship advice to household tips and the latest current events. Why not drop in to the Halloween chat and let us know how you feel about Halloween becoming popular in Australia? Do you love celebrating Halloween, or do you wish those pesky trick-or-treaters would stop banging on your door?

Multi-tasking around the house today with the Vandy/Kentucky game on in the background. Vandy has a player named Tinsley and I must be having a Pavlovian response to the name. Every time they mention it I stop - look at the TV and expect to see Mel going between a defenders legs and getting to the rack. Man I miss watching him play for the Clones.
This Tinsley is white, don't think he could do that.

Nope.. havent got around to that yet. I'm running rh 7.3 just installed today. i think im going to compile soon .. would it help you think?? also.. if yours did install good... can u tell me what driver it uses.. im not good at this.. but do something along the lines of "lsmod" ?

Sound server informational message:
Error while initializing the sound driver:
can't set requested samplingrate (requested rate 44100, got rate 16080)
The sound server will continue, using the null output device.
i also have another sound card that i could install.. an old creative labs 16bit one.. think it would work better than the onboard AC97 too?
you could try for a 'locate ac97.o' (thats the module name, which you install with lsmod)
anyway.... _anythng_ is better than ac97 :P :P
aparantly sb16s are great on linux
i810_audio 23008 0 (autoclean)
ac97_codec 11904 0 (autoclean) [i810_audio]
soundcore 6692 2 (autoclean) [i810_audio]
thats output of lsmod... well the audio parts.. now what? heh i forget. i did modprobe ac87.. but that didnt do anything.. i need to know how to remove that. .. waaaaaaaaaaa i just want sound.

Kate Middleton, Royal Family Celebrate Queen's 88th Birthday at Trooping the Colour Parade: Pictures
Let the royal festivities commence! Kate Middleton, along with the rest of the royal family, celebrated Queen Elizabeth II's 88th birthday in London on Saturday, June 14.
PHOTOS: Kate's royal tour style
The family honored the Queen with a Trooping the Colour parade, and were then escorted to the balcony of the Buckingham Palace. She was joined by husband Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, Duchess Kate, Prince William, Prince Harry, son Prince Charles and his wife Camila, the Duchess of Cornwall.
PHOTOS: Kate's amazing recycled outfits
The Queen looked appropriately regal in a blue satin silk coat and a white hat with a navy trim. She smiled as she waved to the thousands of Brits standing below. Prince Harry, meanwhile, shared several laughs with sister-in-law Middleton, 32, and older brother William, 31.

Middleton, who often recycles her outfits like her royal in-laws, wore a white coat dress by Alexander McQueen that she's never worn before. She kept her tousled brunette locks down, and accessorized with a matching Jane Taylor Milinery hat.

Middleton's siblings have a busy day ahead of them, too. Pippa Middleton, 30, and James Middleton, 27, are set to take part in Race Across America, a 3,000-mile journey from Oceanside, Calif., to Annapolis, MD. On Friday, Pippa was also named the new ambassador for the British Heart Foundation.
