Where are you getting them? I'm down to Ebay but I hate that whole auction thing. Nashbar had some closeouts for 7 bucks a piece. I bought 4 shoulda bought 50.
I love this bike but may have to think selling it for something with 700s unless I can find a good supply of 650s that aren't 50 bucks a pop.

VDOT issues death notice on I-81 truck toll lanes concession proposal
Virginia DOT has announced an end to the botched procurement of a toll concession to fund improvements to I-81. Since October 2006 it has been clear that the project was going nowhere. Today VDOT used a letter from Kellogg Brown and Root, a lead company in the STAR Solutions consortium, as justification for issuing the official death notice.
VDOT Commissioner David Ekern said in a statement today: "...I have directed VDOT to terminate all activities related to the PPTA (Public Private Transportation Act) procurement of improvements along the I-81 corridor."
Proposals for toll concessions were made in 2002 and competed in 2003. In February 2004 VDOT chose STAR Solutions proposal of 8 lanes minimum over a 6 lanes solution from Fluor. The STAR proposal had trucks segregated from cars in two inner lanes each direction, cars having two outer 2 lane roadways each direction.
Fluor's proposal was much more economical - 3rd laning inwards for the entire 520km (323 miles) plus truck climbing lanes. It was an Ohio Turnpike type format with trucks banned from the inner lane in each direction, and mixed traffic in the other two lanes.
STAR Solutions initially at least proposed that only the truck lanes would be tolled, cars going free. Fluor tolled all vehicles but only at lower volume rural points, allowing a lot of free travel for shorter distance travel.
VDOT's selection panel chose STAR Solutions by a large margin. It was the more popular of the two among the communities along the interstate. People, at least car driving people, liked the truck lanes.
Its fatal flaw was it did little for truckers. They were going to be forced to use the toll lane and there was no provision to allow them to run longer and heavier loads to generate the higher productivity needed to pay tolls.
Trucker lobbies were fiercely opposed to a project that used coercion to get them into the toll lanes, and understandably so.
They talked diversion onto local roads, generating opposition in communities along the parallel free routes. They defeated the plan politically.
At the same time a more detailed study by VDOT showed 8 lanes wasn't needed for considerable portions of the road. The project was effectively shelved in October 2006 when VDOT announced it was focusing on modest improvements to truck climbing lanes using design-build contracts and regular tax/grant funding rather than tolls.
The project wasn't going to generate any revenues with tolls shelved.
STAR Solutions stayed in hoping to pick up some negotiated design and construction contracts from VDOT rather than having to bid competitively - a sort of consolation prize. VDOT was reluctant to be seen to be canceling a procurement so they formally kept it in the "active" category.
As it turned out no design-build contracts were ever negotiated.
COMMENT: VA/I-81 was a botched PPP procurement - botched by STAR Solutions in proposing a truck lanes proposal that truckers hated and fought ferociously, and botched by VDOT in choosing a popular proposal over a viable one. They should have gone with Fluor.
Truck lanes should never be a matter of coercing truckers. Truckers need to be attracted to use them by giving them improvements in operations worth the tolls.
Also the truck toll lanes on I-81 would have been far more viable if they been an interstate project. The heaviest truck traffic on I-81 is in Pennsylvania between I-78 and I-70 and truck volumes fall off progressively going south through short stretches in Maryland and West Virginia before entering Virginia.

Accountable Care Organizations: A New Cure for Spiraling Health Care Costs?
Under this health care program, physicians and hospitals work together with Medicare to provide coordinated care to beneficiaries in exchange for shared savings.
Two years ago Catherine Dodd, director of the San Francisco Health Service System, saw a bleak future for the city's and county's health care costs.
With 105,000 covered lives, the system's expenses were rising year over year. Municipal budget cuts meant no new hires and covered employees and retirees were just getting older. About 66 percent of workers had elevated body mass indexes, about half were pre-diabetic or diabetic while 12 percent were smokers.
"It's a population just as sick as any employer has," says Dodd, a registered nurse, who decided to make a change.
In her request for proposal to health insurers bidding on the city and county's HMO contract, she included the wish to start an accountable care organization, or ACO. ACOs require payers—i.e., insurers—and health care providers to better coordinate care for members, especially those with the most medical needs, with the goal of improving cost trends and patient outcomes. Providers typically share in savings reaped from better coordinated care and lower costs and they must meet and maintain quality standards.
Blue Shield of California was the only insurer out of the four finalists bidding for the contract that agreed to launch an ACO, Dodd said. Not surprisingly Blue Shield won the contract.
So in July 2011, the city and county of San Francisco began its two ACOs involving 26,000 employees, dependents and retirees. Results won't be available until the end of the year but preliminary findings are promising, those involved say.
"We've already seen a dramatic decrease in our trends," Dodd says.
For instance, cost trends have been cut in half during the past nine months for one ACO involving city and county employees treated at the University of California at San Francisco, Dignity Health, a San Francisco-based hospital system, and Hill Physicians, a local medical group, Dodd said. It's still unknown how much of this downward trend is a direct result of the ACO, she cautions.
ACOs are getting a lot of buzz these days, in part because of Medicare's Shared Savings Program, which was included in the federal health care reform law. Under this accountable care program, physicians and hospitals work together with Medicare to provide coordinated care to beneficiaries in exchange for shared savings. Providers must meet quality measures to reap the savings.
On April 10, Medicare announced that 27 organizations have been selected to participate in the program, serving 375,000 people in 18 states. A total of 65 groups are now involved in the Medicare Shared Savings Program.
In the private sector, ACOs are springing up across the country.
Emma Hoo, director of the Pacific Business Group on Health, says ACOs are taking off as employers seek to control the rising health care costs.
Hoo says that interested employers should first look at their cost drivers. "This creates an opportunity to have a more direct conversation with provider groups," Hoo says.
That's what happened in San Francisco. Dodd worked closely with Blue Shield of California and participating providers to look at the data and opportunities to improve care coordination. Changes to date include embedding a case manager at local hospitals to support participating patient needs and daily care coordination meetings.
"We've broken down silos and created relationships," says Kristen Miranda, vice president of network management at Blue Shield of California, which now has seven ACOs up and running across the state and more in the pipeline.
For instance, care transitions from the inpatient to the outpatient setting are better coordinated, with medications and other special needs recognized by everyone on the care team, she says.
The employers' role is to keep a close eye on trends and listen to employees, those involved say.
"As an employer we are going to incentivize everything we can to get people the right care in the right place at the right time," Dodd says.
Dodd has relied on Blue Shield to provide informatics on how the program is going, she says. She has not hired additional employees to manage the ACO. She says she is fortunate in that the chief financial officer at San Francisco's Health Service System is also a pharmacist and well-versed on medical informatics.
"It's been a learning curve, and it's been extra work," Dodd says. "But we are beginning to bend the cost trend."
Miranda agrees. "It's very resource-intensive, and it's time-intensive," she says. The city and county of San Francisco was at the table from Day One, she says. "They are much more aggressive in advertising this to employees."
She adds that employers should be patient about getting results.
"This kind of work is a multiyear journey," Miranda says. "I hope employers keep that in mind."
No matter whether the Supreme Court overturns the federal health care reform law, ACOs in the private sector will continue to flourish, says Hoo of the Pacific Business Group on Health.
"I think there's a lot of momentum around these models and a desire to drive system reform," Hoo says. "The cost increases are not sustainable."

LBC Named "Best Christian Workplace" Again
With all of the anonymous electronic surveys having been completed, compiled, reviewed, and tallied, it's official: Lancaster Bible College has again been certified as a "Best Christian Workplace" for 2014—having also made the list in 2011—by the Best Christian Workplaces Institute.
The vision of BCWI is to see Christian workplaces "set the standard as the best, most effective places to work in the world." The organization serves faith-based organizations by creating processes of discovery, facilitating organizational effectiveness, and encouraging practices that build flourishing workplaces.
"We believe Christian workplaces should set the standard as the best most effective workplaces in the world. As you know, it takes intentional effort to create a healthy, even flourishing workplace culture," said Al Lopis, president of BCWI. "Integrity, transparency, compassion, and trust are characteristics people long for in their relationships with others and from their leaders."Dr. Peter W. Teague, President of Lancaster Bible College, announced the Best Christian Workplace certification to all LBC employees in a staff meeting held the week after the new Teague Learning Commons suffered extensive water damage due to a burst pipe. Dr. Teague remarked: "It is indeed remarkable that we were certified a Best Christian Workplace, and it is even more remarkable that our team has demonstrated how true that is—not by how we responded to a survey but by your actions this week in response to the TLC crisis."
"To receive such positive feedback from your staff causes us to believe that the flock God has entrusted to you is well cared for," Lopis noted in his letter to LBC. "We want to encourage you and all your team to press on."

Choco Café in Halifax, Nova Scotia
Not that long ago I spotted Choco Café at 1360 Lower Water Street in downtown Halifax. I could not believe it! A café open late on Saturday and Sundays?! And their specialty is chocolate? The D&D ladies had to check it out.
They have a gift shop area that has stunning products! I would buy that blue and tan mosaic plate just because I like it so much, not to mention the chocolates that come with it!
There are two walls of chocolate and they even have samples for you to try which were absolutely delicious. This is what they have:
"...plain milk, milk with roasted almonds, milk with hazelnut cream, milk with wafer, cheese cake flavour, strawberry tart, crunchy nuts, plain dark chocolate, mint dark chocolate, dark with crunchy nuts, dark with almonds, plain white, and much more to choose from." ~ Chocolates by Design
When I saw they had a chocolate fondue you could get for $7 using their Belgian chocolate? I had to treat the gals to some! It came with sliced apples, strawberries, wafer cookies and marshmallows. Delicious and that chocolate?!!!
OMG! So delicious! We went through our first mini tub so quickly our server brought over a complimentary replacement. Then, we had so much chocolate we wanted to buy more dippers but he just gave us some on the house. What a sweetheart!
I freaked out when I saw I could get café au lait after I ordered my small dark hot chocolate with hazelnut (made with real chocolate) because I can never find anyone who even knows what a café au lait is! I had the same problem on the west coast.
Just another reason to come back and BTW, I do not regret getting the hot chocolate for a second. One of the best I have ever had. Alissa ordered the London Fog, a drink I have always wanted to try, and Emily got an herbal tea.
Our friend Sarah joined up with us too and it was a beautiful airy spot to sit and relax for a while in the comfy chairs before heading out shopping where the ladies introduced me to "jeggings"!
Choco Café has to be one of the best new establishments to come to Halifax and I adore it. The quality is as high as it can get yet everyone there was so friendly and warm. Next time I am definitely picking up their own cocoa powder to bake with later and enjoy some of that fair trade and organic coffee. Let's just hope they have decaf for my future café au lait!
As someone who rarely drinks, next time when the city shuts down at 5 pm on a Saturday night I know where I am headed. My new favourite downtown spot. I give Choco Café five out of five wooden spoons.

Sounds great! Is a latte not the same thing as a cafe au lait? (Forgive my coffee ignorance). I can't believe you couldn't get a latte on the West Coast, LOL!

I am not a coffee expert either but I think a latte isn't as milky as a cafe au lait. The weird part is they had never heard of it before!

Hi Suzie! Just a heads up...a cafe au lait at Second Cup is called a Brewed White and at Starbucks it's called a Misto (don't ask me why they had to change the names though!). TIBS makes pretty good ones as well (plus you can get their croissant!).
Justin and I REALLY miss Serious Coffee from Victoria so it's always nice to hear of nice little spots to visit!

Sorry for your homesickness Rana, I can totally relate!
So a latte is made with espresso? I think that's what I used to get when they didn't have cafe au lait out west. Yes, it is much milkier, that I knew. Thank you!
Hi Jess! :) Oh man, I totally don't recognize those names but I will watch out for them next time. I was at TIBS this summer and it was just too hot for a coffee but next time and yes, their croissants are famous!
Oh I know, I miss Serious Coffee too! And Blenz, they have awesome decaf. You will love this spot Jess, take the kids and get some amazing hot chocolate. Thanks for writing, always awesome to hear from you!

A year and a half ago, I had a Specialized Hardrock that I paid $350 for stolen from me. It was locked up outside the public library I was visiting. Afterwards, I reported it to the police who took my report and responded that stolen bicycles are not a high priority for them. I also told the library officials that a video camera should be placed outside where the bike rack is so things like this wouldn't happen and the thieves could be caught. They said it wouldn't be cost effective. I asked my city council man to talk to them about it. He later said he talked to them and that they "might" re-aim one of their internal cameras (which they have about 15 of) to see the bike rack outside. This has never been done.
Well, here we are 1.5 years later, and I got a letter in the mail from the police department saying that my bike had been recovered. Someone had tried to sell it at a pawn shop. Great news, right? I got my formerly pristine bike back trashed! But I figured I could get compensation from the person who tried to pawn it, since the police had their name, and the police said that the case was being forwarded to the District Attorney's office for prosecution. But then I call the D.A.s office only to find out that their was no case after all. They said they didn't believe that the person who tried pawning it was the actual thief, but that this person had bought the bike from someone else, who bought it from someone else, etc. They also said that this person wouldn't say who he bought it from. And since they, nor I can prove that he was the actual thief, he won't be prosecuted. As far as being in possession of stolen property, they said he would have to be "knowingly" in possession of property that was stolen in order to be prosecuted for it.
So there you have it folks! The police catch the guy red-handed with my bike that was stolen from me and reported to the police, and my bike is trashed, and they let the guy go, even though he won't reveal who he bought the bike from. Thieves have it made. But we taxpayers don't!!!

Occurrence and uses
Lithium is the lightest metal in the world. Its relevance increased dramatically with the development of lithium- batteries, which are both much lighter than conventional nickel-batteries and longer-lasting. These batteries are used in electro cars, cameras, portable computers, mobile phones and many other devices. The main sources of lithium for the batteries are brine and salt lakes.
The main lithium reserves are located in the so-called "Lithium Triangle", composed of Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. The lithium extraction in Chile is located in the far north of the country, in the Salar de Atacama. The Atacama Desert is classified as one of the world's most arid places.
The main producer of lithium in Chile is SQM that produces about 21,000 tons of lithium carbonate annually. The second lithium company is the North American Sociedad Chilena del Litio (SCL). Together, they produce 58% of the world's lithium.
For the production of lithium the brine (groundwater with high concentrations of minerals) is abstracted and pumped into evaporation ponds. Through various evaporation steps it is possible to achieve the required concentration of lithium to get lithium carbonate, which is then further processed.
Impacts of lithium mining in the Chilean north
Lithium mining in the Salar de Atacama brings about substantial direct impacts on the water reserves. The extraction of brine from the groundwater causes the level of groundwater and of the salt plains to drop. The main reason for this is that the water evaporates in the ponds to increase the lithium concentration, without any measure to capture and re-inject it into the groundwater. Consequently, meadows and wetlands run the risk of drying out, directly affecting fragile habitats for nesting birdlife and for traditional pasture.
The trucks used for transporting materials within the mining area and to the processing plants cause air pollution. Another damaging aspect is the dust clouds created throughout the mining processes. This dust contains high levels of minerals, particularly lithium carbonate, which are carried towards settlements (eg the towns of Socaire and Peine), pasture areas and protected areas. The dust causes health problems and contamination of the soil and water.
As all the lithium plants are located in previously undisturbed natural areas, the increase of human activity in and around the plants (eg noise, construction of roads, traffic of vehicles, machines and personnel) increasingly affects ecosystems and biological corridors and is causing the extinction of indigenous plant and animal species as well as erosion.
From the social perspective, these lithium mines have provided work opportunities and a related improvement in the economic income of the regional population. However the type of work available for the local residents is mainly low-skilled. The most specialised work is main- ly available to migrants from other parts from Chile and other countries.
Another complex aspect of the social context refers to the use and ownership of the land. Traditionally the territory belonged to the Atacama people. In opposition to this view, the mining industry has extended into locations such as the Salar de Atacama, which hosts vulnerable biological and cultural diversities with irreplaceable environmental characteristics and of great value to local people.

I admit that I went into this video more than a little skeptical, mostly because Ke$ha makes my eyes and ears bleed with her (exaggerated quotation marks) "music." While the "singer" is no Tina Fey, she's also not completely unbearable in thie Funny or Die video, that sort of mocks the dollar sign in her name. In it, Ke$ha attributes the spelling to a Happy Birthday sign at Sharkey's gone horribly wrong.

During its part in the recent Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, video game retailer GameStop revealed that it plans to close 250 retail stores in 2013. CFO Rob Lloyd said that the company would close unprofitable and marginally profitable stores and shift customers to retail stores that are "nearby" those locations. Of the 250 closures, around 200 of those stores are in the United States.
"We've been successful at that for two years and we will continue to do that program in 2013," said Lloyd, referring to closing stores and consolidating customers at other locations.
While the closures are bad news for employees, GameStop also said that it plans to open 60 to 70 new stores in 2013.

"Gordy's razor-sharp analysis of Little Rock's
'Lost Year' is wonderfully balanced by first-hand
accounts of the often devastating effects on those students
who could least afford to lose a year of their lives."
—Grif Stockley, author of Ruled
by Race and Blood
in Their Eyes
Much has been written about the Little Rock School Crisis
of 1957, but very little has been devoted to the following
year—the Lost Year, 1958–59—when Little
Rock schools were closed to all students, both black and white.
Finding the Lost Year is the first book to look at the unresolved
elements of the school desegregation crisis and how it turned
into a community crisis, when policymakers thwarted desegregation
and challenged the creation of a racially integrated community
and when competing groups staked out agendas that set Arkansas's
capital on a path that has played out for the past fifty years.
In Little Rock in 1958, 3,665 students were locked out of
a free public education. Teachers' lives were disrupted,
but students' lives were even more confused. Some were
able to attend schools outside the city, some left the state,
some joined the military, some took correspondence courses,
but fully 50 percent of the black students went without any
schooling. Drawing on personal interviews with over sixty
former teachers and students, black and white, Gordy details
the long-term consequences for students affected by events
and circumstances over which they had little control.
"Fifty years ago segregationists trying
to keep black students out of Little Rock Central High inadvertently
broke up one of the country's greatest football dynasties.
. . . Wait a minute. . . . Who said you can't have a
high school football team just because you don't have
a high school? Canceling football, Faubus decreed, would be
'a cruel and unnecessary blow to the children.'
O.K. then, everyone agreed. Play ball!"

Lost Year. A copy of the DVD can be ordered at www.thelostyear.com.

Visit Swimming World's Event Landing Page for complete coverage and photo gallery of the meet.
WEST LAFAYETTE, Indiana, March 19. ARIZONA's Ann Chandler put together a remarkable swim in the 100 breast, breaking the NCAA record on the way to the national title.
Chandler clocked a stunning time of 58.06 to break Rebecca Soni's NCAA record of 58.10 set last year at the 2009 NCAA Championships. Chandler moved to second fastest all time in the event, only behind Tara Kirk's 57.77 American and U.S. Open record set back in 2006. The triumph is the first time the Arizona Wildcats have ever won the 100 breast at this meet, but kept the title in the Pacific 10 for the 10th year overall. Incidentally, Chandler crushed her pool record of 58.97 set during prelims.
"It's hard to take in all at once," Chandler said. "It's been my goal to win since my freshman year and over the past four years I have always gone at least a second and a half faster on my relay splits in the 400 medley relay. It's taken me until this year to be able to swim the race like I swim it in the relay, relaxed. It's taken me four years to find that and it's phenomenal."
Chandler beat George Mason's Ashley Danner (59.29) by 1.23 seconds. A pretty hefty margin, but not the largest of all time in the history of the event at the NCAA Championships. Tracey McFarlane of Texas (1:00.68) beat Susan Rapp of Stanford (1:02.27) by 1.59 seconds back in 1987.
Arizona picked up big team points in the event with a 1-3 finish when Ellyn Baumgarder took third in 59.44. Pre-meet favorite Jillian Tyler of Minnesota faded to fourth in 59.63.
In the team title race, Stanford remained first with 235.5 points, while Georgia pulled into second with 222.5 points. California (222), Arizona (213.5) and Florida (171) completed the top five.

The NBA draft is approaching. Â Prepare for the cliches and buzzwords.
Tremendous. Â Upside. Â Potential.
You'll hear that last one probably the most. Length. Why do we care about length? Â Well, extra length gives players advantages within a variety of basketball actions; deflections, live rebounds, and getting shots off requires extension above the opponent, to name a few.
Today's post looks into the length of this year's crop and who has notably long or short arms for their height. Â It would be amusing to think of it the other way around but we don't. This guy has the arms of a 6'2″ guy but he's 6'8″! Â He's a giant!
Before we dig in, let me first say that Jonathan Givony's Draft Express is our best friend and our valuable resource around draft time. Â You can get all sorts of historical player measurements there. Â I should also mention that they just started publishing advanced stats for college basketball. Â Amazing stuff happening at Draft Express.
Anyway, the first thing I did was calculate the proportional wingspan of a player relative to his height using the prospect measurements dating back to 2000. Â I used a regression to predict wingspan from player height (WITHOUT shoes on) with a sample of 916 NBA prospects.
Here we see a pretty strong linear relationship between player height and wingspan. Â Want to know what your NBA prospect wingspan should be? Take 98.5% of your height in inches and add about 5.5. Â My wingspan should be about 76 inches long.
Who has the longest go-go gadget arms of players that actually got drafted? Let's take a look.
Oh my, the stars! Â Not a very inspiring list, eh? Jason Maxiell had the most "freakish" arms as he's one of those guys who can touch his knees without bending over. Â Fingertip to fingertip, he is 10 inches longer than head to toe. Â All told, his wingspan is about six inches longer than we'd expect and proportional for a 6-9 guy. Â His extra wingspan is partly responsible for his rebounding rate we'd typically see from a center.
The rest of the list has some big time busts who may or may not have been overrated by their length. Â Saer Sene got drafted 10th overall, Fred Jones 14th overall, and Shelden Williams 5th. Â As we saw in Game 6, freakishly long arms cannot guarantee a successfully converted dunk in the biggest game of your life (right, Shelden?). Â Marvin Williams, the second overall pick in 2005, sits just outside this list as his wingspan was 4 inches longer than we'd expect.
Some other notable extra wingspans: LeBron +0.5″. Thabeet +0.6″. Â Durant +3.3″. Â Beaubois +4.0″.
Let's head over to the short arm prospects or as I like to call them, the capital T's (just look at a capital T). Â These guys have shorter arms than we'd expect given their height.
Martynas Andriuskevicius played only 9 minutes in his NBA career, way back in 2005 but he deserves a shot out here. Â His arms were over six inches shorter than we'd expect given his 7'1.25″ height. Â In reality, he has the wingspan of a 6'6″ guy. Â Yes, observant reader, Fred Jones has a longer wingspan than Marty Andy. Â For your information, he grabbed four rebounds in 9 minutes which translates to a crisp 17.8 rebounds per 40 mins. Â Sample size be damned.
We have some pure shooters (Redick, Kapono) as well as some truly undersized point guards (Maynor, Jordan). Â Redick relies on his hops more than most shooters since he wasn't gifted with long arms. He got away with it in college but he's taking threes at a much slower rate in the NBA, granted, for several different reasons. Â Perhaps one of them is that he has the arms of a 6-footer.
Some notable curbed wingspans: Jon Brockman -3.7″, Chris Kaman -4.1″, Stephen Curry -3.0″, Jared Dudley -3.2″
While we're at it, let's go ahead and pull up the go-go gadgets arms and T's of this crop of 2010 prospects. Â First, the long arms:
And the T's:
Looks like I've snooped out the market inefficiency that Coach K has been exploiting for years. Â Short armed scorers.
In the future, expect some application of these measurements to NBA production to test their significance in predicting professional success.

Prenatal Nutrient Could Protect Babies if Moms DrinkHannah Tennant-Moore
According to the CDC, the number of women who drink during pregnancy has not changed substantially since 1991, despite aggressive health campaigns about the adverse affects of alcohol on fetuses. So researchers are hoping they may be able to protect babies from Mom's drinking with prenatal treatments, rather than solely through prevention.
Right now, fetal alcohol syndrome can only be treated through rigorous behavioral and educational therapies once the exposed children are preschool age or older. And since 12 percent of pregnant American women (and higher percentages of women in other countries) drink despite doctors' warnings to the contrary, researchers hope that some of the effects of fetal alcohol syndrome could be prevented by administering a learning-related nutrient called choline to pregnant women and newborns.
Preliminary studies with pregnant rats have been encouraging, and researchers are now testing their theory on pregnant Ukrainian women who have admitted to drinking while pregnant. (All of the women in the study will undergo alcohol counseling.)
But even if choline proves effective as a partial deterrent to fetal alcohol syndrome, doctors warn that no single medication could protect babies from all of the potentially adverse affects of alcohol.
What do you think? Is such a preventative medication a commonsense way to protect babies, or could it endanger babies even more by giving drinking moms false reassurance?

Sharing a meal or relaxing on a deck, patio or balcony can be the highlight of a summer day. And now that the seasons have changed, proper care can make your outdoor furniture last for summers to come.
Whether you have a pricey patio set or something more modest, experts recommend some simple steps for upkeep and storage.
Often, outdoor furniture "is a bit of an investment, so it makes sense to put effort into protecting and maintaining what you have in your yard," says Matt Blashaw, a licensed contractor and host of DIY Network's "Yard Crashers."

Ideally, it's best to store any type of patio furniture — metal, plastic or wood — indoors during harsh weather. If that's not possible, Blashaw recommends weatherproof covers, or at least some simple poly/vinyl tarps secured with straps or weighted down.
"There are furniture covers of just about every shape and size available," he says, adding that the newest ones are waterproof and UV-treated for excellent protection.
Measure your pieces before you buy covers to ensure the right fit. You can also ask for manufacturer guidelines that may help you choose the correct style.
Don't forget fire pits and chimeneas. There are elasticized covers made for them, too, and it's important to keep water from rusting their metal burners and grates.
As for acrylic cushions and fabrics — even ones made for outdoor use — store them inside. If you just don't have the space, Blashaw recommends putting them in airtight bags.
Before you store patio furniture, make sure it's free of dirt and debris.
"Who wants to spend the first warm days of spring on furniture cleanup duty anyway?" Blashaw says.
Many experts recommend regular cleaning of outdoor furniture, but it doesn't have to take a lot of time or effort.
Lowe's Home Improvement spokeswoman Colleen Maiura tells customers to check the manufacturer's directions before using any cleaning products. For most materials, however, you'll just need soap and water, she says. Consider using a pressure washer on a low setting (1,200 to 1,350 pounds per square inch) to make the job go even more quickly.
"Monthly cleaning and maintenance can help the furniture maintain a good appearance and make your investment last longer," she says.
For acrylic cushions, Maiura recommends spot cleaning with a sponge, mild soap and water. Make sure the cushions are completely dry before storing them.
While many outdoor cushions are mildew-resistant, you can use a solution of 1 cup bleach, 2 cups detergent and 1 gallon of water to clean. Spray it on, allow it to soak for 30 minutes, then scrub with a sponge or rag.
Fabric pieces such as hammocks and cloth chairs can be machine-washed on gentle. Stretch them back over the frame for the right fit, and to make sure the fabric is dry before storing indoors.
Some additional maintenance can keep your set functional and looking fabulous.
For wood, you may need to oil or varnish it, depending on the type. For wicker, you may have to wax if it's not water-resistant. Some metal frames require paint touch-ups, but most are made to be rust-resistant or rust-free. If your set is not, consider using paste wax or naval jelly for protection. Some rusted metals can be professionally powder-coated, making them look new again.
Check your manufacturer's directions or website for details on what maintenance your outdoor furniture requires. You can also find tutorials at sites such as YouTube.com.
Blashaw says one of the biggest mistakes homeowners make with outdoor furniture is throwing it out instead of making simple repairs with parts covered under warranty.
"Keep the receipt, and if the furniture does not hold up to the regular 'wear and tear' promise within the warranty period, contact the manufacturer and get yourself a brand new set," he says. "Many homeowners throw the warranty card away and, in turn, throw big money in the trash."

(2014) Not-Rated
Q: When Does "Omar" Come out on DVD? A: The official US DVD release date for "Omar" has been set for June 10, 2014.
A tense, gripping thriller about betrayal, suspected and real, in the Occupied Territories. Omar (Adam Bakri) is a Palestinian baker who routinely climbs over the separation wall to meet up with his girl Nadja (Leem Lubany). By night, he's either a freedom fighter or a terrorist-you decide-ready to risk his life to strike at the Israeli military with his childhood friends Tarek (Eyad Hourani) and Amjad (Samer Bisharat). Arrested after the killing of an Israeli soldier and tricked into an admission of guilt by association, he agrees to work as an informant. So begins a dangerous game-is he playing his Israeli handler (Waleed F. Zuaiter) or will he really betray his cause? And who can he trust on either side? Palestinian filmmaker Hany Abu-Assad (Paradise Now) has made a dynamic, action-packed drama about the insoluable moral dilemmas and tough choices facing those on the frontlines of a conflict that shows no sign of letting up.

text: Technology How the liquefied natural gas process works Add to ... The Globe and Mail Published Tuesday, Jul. 16, 2013 6:18PM EDT Last updated Tuesday, Jul. 16, 2013 6:18PM EDT The most efficient way to get the commodity overseas is to compress it into LNG, then ship it. The process begins by piping gas extracted from the ground to an LNG facility. There, the gas is purified, then cooled to -162 C, turning it into a liquid and reducing its volume by 600 times, which is considered the main advantage of the technology. It's then stored in huge tanks and shipped to its destination. Once it arrives, the liquid is warmed in a re-gasification plant until it's returned to its original state. From there, it's piped to end users, which include homes, businesses and industries.

Size of baby: Baby Vaughn is about 18.19 inches long from head to heel and about 5.25 pounds! (About the size of a spaghetti squash this week). Baby girl is getting SO big. Every week I wonder how my belly can possibly get any bigger without bursting open, and then the next week it IS bigger. Still 5ish weeks to go, yikes!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: ~ +20-21lb. *updated since going to the doc
Maternity Clothes: Always maternity pants or stretchy yoga/sleep pants. I definitely prefer maternity tops for the coverage but it has been so warm here lately, like mid 70's and sunny, and 98% of my maternity tops are long sleeved or 3/4 sleeved. So I'm still cramming into regular tops if I don't have any where special to go! ha! Fun fact: we have yet to turn on our heat for "winter"! We've had a few chilly nights but nothing an electric blanket can't fix. Yay for being huge pregnant in winter and not needing the heat on! It makes up for when we will need the A/C on full blast in the summer when it's 115 degrees out! I am always HOT! Moving on...
Movement: Still lots of movement! I don't see how she's not just completely out of room in there. My stomach is hard in certain places and I always try to figure out what body part it is. I'm pretty sure I can always tell where her back and booty are. Her back is still snug on my ride side and booty is high and to the right, but sometimes moves to the center. So all the strong kicks are on my left or directly into my organs. haha
Sleep: Knock on wood, I still sleep so well! It takes a minute to get comfortable with my pillows wedged in the right places, but I fall asleep fast. I'm still getting up about 2-3 times per night, so that's not too bad! I do have to rollllll out of bed though...either that or be given a boost or helping hand. ha ha!
What I miss: I really don't think I miss anything. Pregnancy has been easy for me and has actually made me feel really good.
Cravings: I haven't had as much cereal this week. My box of raisin bran is still half full lol! We have been going through milk by the gallons though. One gallon no longer lasts us a full week. With a 9 month pregnant lady craving cold milk and a husband who can drink milk by the gallon, it lasts about 4 days, maybe 5 if we are using it sparingly, like "Oh we don't have much left, I'll just get half a glass". My secret is to ask for the price match at WalMart and get it for $1.57!!
Symptoms: Growing.belly.for.sure! I have all these visible veins around the top of my belly. I hope that means she's getting good blood flow but they kind of freak me out. I find it harder to take deep breaths unless I am resting in a comfortable position (i.e. not leaning straight back, squishing my lungs). I am definitely winded after going up the stairs and sometimes just talking a lot or telling a story will make me have to slow down and catch my breath. haha! See? She's getting big and pushing on my lungs to where they can't fill up fully. If I am up on my feet a lot during the day or bending over a lot (babysitting or cleaning), I think I get some braxton hicks in the evening. I try to take it easy and then they go away. I also came down with some kind of allergy/sickness this past weekend. We deep cleaned our kitchen and downstairs after having a few cracked tiles replaced (which left dust everywhere). I woke up Saturday with an extremely sore throat and thought it was just from breathing in the dust and getting our house good and clean. But it lingered into Sunday, Monday, and by Tuesday it was a little better. I have been taking a Zyrtec for the last 3 days. Now my throat is better but I'm stuck with a dry cough which sometimes makes my breathing wheezy, so I am going to ask my doctor about that today for sure. *Updated since going to the doc: She said my lungs are clear. I must be getting over these allergy symptoms because I feel better and my couch is mostly going away. yay!
Best Moment this week: The best moment this week would be my sweet little baby shower hosted by my small group ladies from church! They had the cutest decorations and the most fun games! It was a super fun little brunch and we got lots of goodies for our girl. See the cute cake picture below. The birdies match the ones on her bedding perfectly! I will post more pictures when I get them from my friend who took them all. We also started washing up all the little clothes we have for her. I am realizing she has so many little onesies and sleepers for up to 6 months, but slim pickin's after that, so the next clothes we will buy will be bigger sizes but we'll wait to see if she's gonna be a chunker or a skinny minny. Today begins the cloth diaper prepping! We've got ourselves a drying rack and some Rockin' Green soap and after lots of hot washes, we'll be ready to go. We can't wait to meet our girl in 35 days (plus or minus some, depending on her stubborness). :) * Updated since going to the doc: Baby's heart beat was 147bpm and she's still head down with her back on my right side and tootsies on my lower left side. My blood pressure is still good and belly is measuring on track at 34cm. By the way, that sounds huge to me. ha ha! Now we go for our check up every week. And I have a feeling the next "check" won't be very fun, but I guess we'll see if there's any progress going on.

Ah, how could I love the Lord and live with them? What agreement hath the temple of God With idols? What communion hath light with darkness? "Come out from among them and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and I will receive you." But could not I stay with them as not believing, nor partaking of these objectionable things, and be clear of them? I thought so awhile, but now I knew better: So while I had Christian fellowship for many of them --and still have--the Lord said "be ye separate" as the condition of reception by him as clearing me of all these things. I knew that in joining them I subscribed to them in whole and was virtually guilty of all their works. Did not I know that whatsoever was not of faith was sin?--that whatsoever had not received "the washing of water by the word" that is; sanctioned by the word-was unclean and forbidden to be touched, tasted or handled? Also I read, "whatsoever transgresseth and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ hath not God; but he that abideth in the doctrine of Christ hath both the Father and the Son." Also, "If there come any unto you and bring not this doctrine receive him not into your house: neither bid him Godspeed: for he that biddeth him Godspeed is partaker of his evil deeds." 2 John, 10; Rom. 16: 17. So to remain with them, though not believing in them was to bid them Godspeed. To hold my letter did not relieve me; it was as though I had never called for it; I must be separate from them.
There are dissatisfied ones among them today who believe because they do not believe in and support one, none, or all of these obnoxious institutions they are clear of them'. But such is not the case; I could not claim this exemption for myself, nor will I for them. We claim the word of God as our standard. Ignorance of that word will not excuse us. An absolute unconditional separation and renunciation of all their works, whether as ordinances. Or otherwise, is the sole condition of acceptance with God as son or daughter into his militant house. But then here comes the natural man with all his train with banners emblazoned with the "lusts of the flesh"--the "lust of the eyes" and "the pride of life," to battle against this. How hardly shall they who are rich enter into the kingdom. And how sore is that battle as slayings crucifying to the flesh and the world ? Some of the members among the Missionaries opposing me, and whom I must thus offend, were my good friends. But in that I thus condemned and renounced the principles dear to them; it was not that I loved them less, but Christ more; and had 'rather be a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed in him hereafter, than reclaim my glory with them now and here; and hence, partake of his shame and reproach revealed in the world.I knew, and still know, how dear to them, as individuals and as a church, is their preacher. Indeed preachers are held among them generally as very superior; and many look to them for advice and approval more than to God; and would much prefer you should speak against and condemn themselves than their preacher. So that I know what to expect in public condemnation of that class. But friends, I too, love preachers and give them double honor for their work's sake, when that work accords with the words and spirit of Christ; and especially when they fulfill that command which says, "feed: the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly: not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind: neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock--over which the Holy Ghost [and not a moneyed contract], hath made you overseer. And this he must do as sustaining a personal character blameless: as not covetous or "greedy of filthy lucre," nor as "lifted up with pride," the end of whose conversation is Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today and forever. Men proving by these fruits they are called of God to preach the gospel, and do preach it, are loved and reverenced by me more than any other mortal,--yes, with a peculiar, sacred tenderness born in my love to Jesus Christ :even though some of these are sadly wanting, yet as not supplied by a worldly substitute, and: as still retaining the meek and lowly spirit of Jesus, they are still precious. But those condemned are not of this class. And I affirm that the purer, holier, more sacred the calling the meaner the man to assume it without proper authority. And by my love to the true, I hate the false. Nor do I touch "the Lord's Anointed" when I truthfully say of any man "he does not feed the flock of God--he does not pretend to preach. save for filthy lucre; he lords it over the church; he is; a brawler, greedy of money, and is lifted up with pride: is partial to the rich; perverts, the word of God and pleases men." I have not touched the Lord's anointed. Paul said, "Let him be accursed." The infallible sign and proof that God has called one to preach the gospel, is that he preaches the gospel, nothing more, nothing less. Any set, of preachers that cannot bear an application of the rule of Christ should never have adopted it as an only rule of practice. If I condemn them by that rule, let them look to the rule, and not to me; for I say "peace be to all who walk according to this rule," as Paul did.
I believe, and so have I spoken, I do not do so to offend or debate but to tell those who have asked it the reason I left the Missionaries: and to declare to all that I am not ashamed to be found with God's poor and afflicted people, though condemned by the world and contemned by fashionable religionists. Others who prosper and flourish in exalted places receiving the reward, approval, and timely pleasures and benefits of the world are heartily welcome: I had rather suffer afflictions with God's meek and lowly people--had rather be door-keeper in the house of my God--than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season as reigning in spiritual wickedness in high places; and then at last to be found with that same destitute unprofitable few who had no knowledge of ever having done any good thing for the Lord; instead o1 being found with that other set who boasted they bad cast out devils, or saved souls and done many wonderful works for the Lord, and yet who heard the sentence, "Depart, I never knew you." Mat. 25:34,36.
There are but two leading spirits in the world--the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. And that we judge and know the tree by the fruit: and try these spirits is that God commands it; because many false prophets are gone out into the world transforming themselves into apostles of Christ--aye, into angels of light. So that we must not judge by appearances, but apply the unerring test--the word of God, whether judging men or measures. The spirit of truth is of God: that of error, of the world. The beloved John, embracing himself with those of the spirit of truth, says "'Ye are of God, little children, [no great big ones here] and have overcome them, [those of error] because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. They are of the world, therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us, Hereby we know the spirit of truth and .the spirit of error." John 4:1,6. "And hereby we do know that we know him, God, if we keep his commandments. He that saith I know him and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar and the truth is not in him: but whosoever keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: and hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself to walk even as he, Jesus, walked." Again, "Love not the world, neither the things of the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lusts of the flesh, the lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lusts thereof; but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever. Little children, it is the last time; and ye have heard that anti-Christ should come, even now, as there are many anti-Christs, whereby we know it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for had they been of us they would have continued with us;' but they went out that they might be made manifest that they were not of us," the Catholic element first, the Missionary last. "But," he continues, "ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. Let that; therefore; abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye shall continue in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise he hath promised us, even eternal life. These things have I written you concerning them which seduce you. But the anointing which ye have received from him abideth in you, and ye need lot that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." I John, 2. This long quotation is more particularly for dissatisfied Missionaries who now stand where I once did, when this was beneficial to me. Let them make the comparison discerning between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error, and see, and say, if the Missionary Baptists are not of the spirit of the world. "They are of the world, therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them." All so-called churches embracing this worldly element and commanding the heed of the world, are hereby condemned; but I speak particularly of the Missionary Baptists from having been identified with them, and as giving nay reasons for leaving them.
Then here comes the voice of the true church. "But marvel not my brethren if the world hate you." Jesus says to her "If the world hate you ye know that it hated me before it hated you: if ye were of the world, the world, would love you: but because ye are not of the world but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. Remember the words I said unto you, the servant is not greater than his Lord." John 15: 18, 19.
But the personal anointing "let that therefore abide in you which ye heard from the beginning," which teacheth all things of eternal life and salvation so that no man need try to teach them. The beginning is where one first received Christ in pardon and peace: the anointing is the giving abiding grace of the spirit enabling him to believe, and by faith to appropriate the blood of Jesus to the cleansing and saving of his soul; hence the new birth,-- the beginning of a new and spiritual life when I, and you, dear Christian Missionary Baptist, received the heart-anointing evidence of the truth of salvation by grace through faith in the blood of Jesus Christ alone. I had tried all works, all deeds of law every arm of flesh, and all failed me the world was empty of a healing balm--a fountain of cleansing nature was altogether void of help, and in the last extremity the alone and all-availing blood of Jesus saved me fully completely, eternally. That brought me in "fellowship with the Father and with the Son. And my anointing from the Holy One was with the grace of faith ever attesting the presence of Jesus; therefore, attesting my life, the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. And thus becomes the sign and seal of spiritual birch. And thus confirming our experimental heart-assurance of our spiritual birth; and as synonymous with the promises of eternal life, it is our unction of life. Blessed birth-day!
Then if that anointing abides in me, I continue in the Father and the Son, and no man need teach me that salvation is alone by grace through faith in Christ. I know it--I have experienced it--indeed I have an abiding unction that leaches me all things of salvation to a sinner Then, also, no man need try to teach me there is salvation in any other name or means, no matter how plausible to human reason--no matter how beautiful and adequate to the natural eye, my own soul in experience denies it--the same anointing I had in the beginning teaching me all things in connection with salvation, teaches me that all the saved must receive the very same; and that hence, all these Missionary modes and methods to save by money through aboard, &c., are false, and will fail. I look back to the beginning--I took beyond and know that I, or at least that Paul, had the advantage of all things else, save the blood of Christ, even that of a blameless life before the law, and was lost! lost!! and my unction tells me in the spirit power of words that lost! lost!! lost !!! are all aside from this blood, or salvation by grace. And this salvation is of the Lord alone--"not by might nor by power--not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth, but by my spirit saith the Lord." Then surely these invented systems and appended auxiliaries, as helpers to salvation are worthless. The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, and not through money in a mission board. And that it is a gift to sinners is not that man ever did, or would do, good, but that Jesus "died for their offenses and rose again for their justification to eternal life," that is, his people whom he came to save from their sins: and that while they were yet "deal in trespasses and in sins."
Then can I fellowship after-means?--"institutions of the day," to save the lost? Can I fellowship a church falsifying the principles of my salvation by claiming this and that auxiliary to make efficient the work of Jesus? No, not while my anointing abides; they must tell me of what I know--of the same experience and anointing.
And these people that said they knew God--that claimed his word as their only rule of faith and practice—one of whose articles of faith said they "believed in the doctrine of election and predestination," had they truly received this anointing and promise of eternal life through Christ alone? If so, why not abide in it? If receiving experimental proof of its efficacy, why not present it to the world as whereby God could remain just and be the justifier of a sinner, instead of a human-devised system, Whereby he could not have remained just in the justification of any? There is one only way of Salvation--one way, truth and life. Then when I find a class who have invented other modes and means and ways--other systems, every feature of which is contrary to Christ or this one only way, and are crying "Lo here! thousands are perishing and going down to hell for want of money to send the gospel to save them!" and "Lo there [as Judson cried in substance] souls are "howling in the torments of hell that might have been saved by money:--thousands are threatened with the same doom that the jewelry of American women would save." Why I fear conclude they themselves have never experienced salvation by grace without deeds of the law; or known that one only way life and truth.
And the reason I condemn preachers the great wise ones particularly, is, that they are most to blame for all those unscriptural institutions that were the issues dividing the Baptist church. As the church originally stood (and Primitive Baptist now stands) there were no great ones, save in the sense that the least' of all and servant of all was the greatest; for here the laws of nature are reversed and the least (in his own estimation is greatest, and the greatest (in self-estimation), is least in the estimation of Church. These naturally great men sprung these issues and divided the church; and then established one favorable to their aspirations. You will notice the strongest advocate of a system is generally the foremost candidate for its salaried agency. And many a weak child of God, and many deceived ones, did they lead astray; and many such have been seduced into giving money in the firm belief it went to save souls. And many a poor widow has given her hard-earned dollar under the deluded impression produced by the "good words" and "fair speeches" of men making merchandise of them, that God would love her the better a~. giver to the means of salvation; and also, as it were, unto Christ beseeching her in the awful emergency of having died, and now needed money to make his death efficient in application, or as reaching perishing souls. Week after week their papers come to these honest, well-meaning lay-members with pathetic appeals and stories of fiction by these master scribes, telling some such story as "a poor widow in this world's goods, yet rich in faith and love to God, gave ten cents of her scanty means to a missionary; who afterwards in a far heathen Country wanted to cross a river; the ferryman would not put him over for his money--he lacked ten cents; be searched his pockets more thoroughly and—how fortunate--found the dime the widow gave; it filled the bill and placed him across, when he gave his tracts that but for that dime never would have reached them; they read and many were converted and saved the otherwise lost but for that dime, saved! Those who cannot possibly give more, give a dime." And just look at the begging expeditions flooding the land, every backwoods, nook and corner, as well as every high place in high life church fairs--raffles and such like, all begging for money! money!! money!!! Many give just to keep along with the world of fashion, never dreaming they are bidding God speed to error, nor that they are thus declaring a weakness and insufficiency to the salvation of Jesus Christ, or in plainer words, denying him. Some poor woman' gives her mite in earnest devotion, when all she has of this world's goods would not buy the costly dress of the Missionary asking it. He would not touch so much as the little finger of his soft, white hands to the burden he thus imposes. He sheds tears in begging and plaintively talks of leaving home and friends, and the hardships of travel and of a foreign land: when but few men would not go as a privilege if others paid all expenses and a heavy salary, and honors. Either thus, or "deceiving and being deceived." In either case anti-Christ.
For all holy men "called of God as was Aaron," and receiving a dispensation of the gospel, are set in the church, not out of it, for edification in faith and walk to that church. And above all things he knows salvation is of the Lord, God never called a man to preach the gospel he had not himself received. And it has taught him that never for a moment was a soul held in jeopardy--balanced on money; an that known in that covenant of redemption "ordered in all things and sure" were the Lord's people.
But then they have so much more wisdom that I, may they not be right and I mistaken? I would pause and ask, and then answer, they have more worldly wisdom, but in these spiritual things I have the right to claim just so much as is revealed to me by the spirit: so with all. And God is as apt to re veal these things to the weak and base, as to the great and strong. The world by its wisdom knows not God or the things of his kingdom. "What man knoweth the things of man, save the spirit of mal which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man but by the spirit of God in him." Nov we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God, that we might know the thing which are freely given us of God. So "he that is Spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man." 1Cor. 2.
By this rule and spirit I hope God enabled me to judge of these things. If my judgment and condemnation is not according to his word and spirit, then let me be judged and condemned. But if so, it is be cause God hath anointed me with that unction o: the spirit revealing truth; in which case I am allowed to judge and "yet am judge of no man." For judging in and by the spirit of God, who would turn about and condemn me, must find and know this spirit; and "who hath known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct," or reprove him? At a glance this would seem to take much to myself, when in truth it strips me of everything, as I want to be.
Then from these considerations I get bolder, nor would I flinch before the most learned D. D. of the age. Not that I am equal, but right.
Here was another fruit ripening whose parent-stem was nursed in the soil of a theological school, that is, the willing spirit of priest-craft subjection. How prolific this evil today ? "My preacher says I must do so and so, and I must, or be ostracized in a measure"--"my preacher says this Scripture means so and so, and so I say, as he should know " A lady friend of mine became uneasy about my mind from searching the Scriptures so much:--"You are always reading that Bible--I always find you reading it when alone;--it will craze you--you will have to be sent to the lunatic asylum if you don't stop it," she said one day. But I said "It contains the only law I am under--my one rule of action, and I must know to obey it." "Do as I do; I never read the Bible--that is my preacher's business--[she was a Presbyterian, and wealthy]—I donated amply to build our theological schools; I pay to have our preachers educated, then I pay my pastor as such; and it is his place to read, understand, and then instruct me," • she said. "But suppose he should pervert the Scriptures, or handle the word of God deceitfully and depart from the truth; how would you know this unless you had read the word ? .... In that case the matter would rest between him and his God, and the sin his and not mine." Not one in twenty--perhaps I might truthfully say, an hundred--of the lay-members can give you a Scriptural base for their faith, or for any practice, however tenacious, for it. Not half 'of them know the principles upon which they are established as a church. They just know it as '"our church." And idolize their pastor as "our minister" from the pedestal of education, and not divine revelation;"' into whose willing hands they confide all matters of faith and practice--all Biblical research necessary; and therefore, look to and lean upon him more than upon God; and whose approval or disapproval is more to them than that of Christ. And these dainty, languid, sanctimonious, self-complacent ministers, how they do "lord it over" them! how they do "make merchandise of them" by good words and "fair speeches" to "draw away disciples after them ?" 2 Pet., 2: 3. And an apostle says "by reason of whom the way of truth was spoken evil of." But for this man's theological training he could never have reached this position nor influence. This fruit was hog unto the Lord, who said we are to know a tree by its fruit. I saw that theological schools as cause and effect were contrary to Christ, and so condemn them, and pass on.

Criminal Law
Criminal Law Questions? Ask a Criminal Lawyer.
DearCustomer- The most important thing I can tell you is that you should NOT answer any questions unless you first have a lawyer. I don't care what anyone tells or promises you do not talk to the police or anyone else regardless of whether you have or have not committed any crimes. I am very serious about this.
If you can afford an attorney I would get one immediately and let him or her contact the police. If you cannot afford an attorney you can contact the police but only to find out if they really want to question you. At that point, if there is no warrant for your arrest you can tell them that you will not talk unless you have a lawyer.
If there is a warrant you will have to turn yourself in so you don't acquire additional charges of fleeing to avoid prosecution etc but you still should not say anything until you have a lawyer. If you are arrested then the court will appoint an attorney. The absolute worst thing you can do is to talk to the police before getting an attorney.
Dave Kennett
First of all you need to find out if there is actually a charge or if they just want to question you. If there are no charges filed all you have to do is tell the police you will not talk about the case without an attorney. You don't actually have to have an attorney to tell them that.
The court will only appoint counsel once charges have been filed. If you can't afford an attorney you will have to wait until you are charged in order to get free legal help. If you think you can afford an attorney you can contact a criminal lawyer in your area. The local Bar Association can provide attorney referrals if you know of no attorneys. Just remember no to answer any questions regarding the case.
