COPIAPO, Chile — Trapped nearly half a mile inside the earth and facing perhaps four months before rescue, 33 Chilean miners began accepting food, water and oxygen from above ground Monday as rescue teams worked to gauge their state of mind and brace them for the long wait ahead.
Through a newly installed communications system, each of the men spoke and reported feeling hungry but well, except for one with a stomach problem, a Chilean official said. They requested toothbrushes.
It was a positive sign, and Chile's president said the nation was "crying with excitement and joy" after engineers broke through Sunday to the men's refuge. It had been 17 days since a landslide at the gold and copper mine caused a tunnel to collapse and entombed them more than 2,200 feet below ground.
Still, doctors and psychological experts were trying to safeguard the very sanity of the miners in the months to come, and said they were implementing a plan that included keeping them informed and busy.
"They need to understand what we know up here at the surface, that it will take many weeks for them to reach the light," Health Minister Jaime Manalich said.
Engineers worked to reinforce the 6-inch-wide bore hole that broke through to the refuge, using a long hose to coat its walls with a metallic gel to decrease the risk of rock falling and blocking the hard-won passage through the unstable mine.
The lubricant makes it easier to pass supplies through in capsules nicknamed palomas, Spanish for dove. The first of the packages, which are about 5 feet long and take about an hour to descend from the surface, held rehydration tablets and a high-energy glucose gel to help the miners begin to recover their digestive systems.
Rescue teams also sent oxygen down after the miners suggested there was not enough air in the stretches of the mine that run below where the main shaft collapsed.
The shelter, a chamber off one of the mine's lower passages that is easily big enough for all 33 men, is far enough from the landslide to remain intact, and the men can also walk around below where the rocks fell. Actual food will be sent down in several days, after the men's stomachs have had time to adjust, said Paola Neuman of the medical rescue service.
Rescuers also sent down questionnaires to determine each man's condition, along with medicine and small microphones to enable them to speak with their families during their long wait.
Meanwhile, an enormous machine with diamond-tipped drills capable of carving a 26-inch-wide tunnel through solid rock and boring at about 65 feet a day was on its way from central Chile to the San Jose gold and copper mine, outside Copiapo in north-central Chile.

" Matilda Street, Sheffield. "
Area 51 is a over hyped, very costly, night club. This is a club going down hill. I visited Barnsley last Friday and it was the best night out every. They had this nightclub called Regents Park, it was the wildest night ever, the drink was cheap they was girls galore and it didnt shut while gone five o'clock. For a pint of John Smith Smooth was £1.20 while A bottle of Metz was only a pound, to get in its only a pound and before 11 o'clock it is free, you also get a free drink with each ticket you buy, and to save your coat it his 50p. I would suggest htis club is a must for all tastes of music as the DJs are the best, what a night out.

Chinese and Russian spy agencies are using hacked U.S. data to identify American intelligence officers and agents. "At least one clandestine network of American engineers and scientists who provide technical assistance to U.S. undercover operatives and agents overseas has been compromised as a result, according to two U.S. officials," the Los Angeles Times reports. "Counterintelligence officials say their adversaries combine those immense data files and then employ sophisticated software to try to isolate disparate clues that can be used to identify and track — or worse, blackmail and recruit — U.S. intelligence operatives."
UNPRECEDENTED: The Obama administration is working on a set of economic sanctions against Chinese companies and individuals who have benefited from their government's hacking activities. As The Post reports, "The U.S. government has not yet decided whether to issue these sanctions, but a final call is expected soon — perhaps even within the next two weeks … Issuing sanctions would represent a significant expansion in the administration's public response to the rising wave of cyber-economic espionage initiated by Chinese hackers, who officials say have stolen everything from nuclear power plant designs to search engine source code to confidential negotiating positions of energy companies."
THE HILL'S NEXT CYBER BATTLE: Automakers are fighting a bill from Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) that proposes mandatory security standards for vehicles, Politico reports.
REVERSED: A federal appeals court reversed a judge's order to stop the National Security Agency from collecting phone records, the latest development in what is expect to be a long-running legal battle between the government and privacy advocates. "The three-judge panel's ruling comes after Congress has already passed legislation ending the government's collection of bulk phone records," the Wall Street Journal reports. "Friday's unanimous decision came in a case brought by Larry Klayman, a longtime conservative activist who sued in 2013 after former NSA contractor Edward Snowden disclosed documents showing the scope of the phone surveillance and other spy programs."

Skin Care and Diseases
Abnornal fingernail growth
About five years ago I banged my thumbnail pretty hard while scaping paint. I don`t recall the nail turning black and it never fell off. But ever since it has been growing abnormally. It is curved over like a "claw", is not flat like my other thumbnail but rather curved over a large bump, and grows skewed to one side. I`m not sure what kind of doctor to ask about this... Not sure there is anything to fix it, but it`s real unattractive. Thanks.
It is hard to tell you what has happened, but it sounds as though the nail matrix, that is the growing part of the nail that is toward the palm of you hand, has been injured and/or the nailbed has been injured. It is also possible that the trauma was unrelated and that you have an underlying problem in the digital bone or soft tissue.
Please see your board certified dermatologist and/or a skilled hand surgeon, either orthopedic or plastic surgery, for a complete review. I would suggest that x-rays be done, looking at not only the bony structure but also the soft tissue.

Every superstar worth his or her weight in durability (See: Cher, all-time queen of the comeback) has been up, has been down, has seen fire, has seen rain, has had one of those full-circle careers that's come around and around again and again. Professional fluctuations is a part of Hollywood life, and those who can weather those particular storms, come out in a better place, because as Kelly Clarkson sang on her recent No. 1 hit, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, stronger.
And just how stronger is current comeback queen Jennifer Lopez these days? She may not be quite the tabloid draw she was a decade ago, but if you've watched American Idol during the past two seasons, or heard her 2011 hit "On the Floor" on the radio, on TV, on YouTube or, well, on the floor, you know that she's flexing again.
Forbes magazine just ranked her atop its 2012 Celebrity 100 (up from No. 50 in 2011), which lists the most powerful people in entertainment. With an estimated income of $52 million in the last year, Lopez came in ahead of last year's champ Lady Gaga (No. 5), Oprah Winfrey (No. 2) and Adele (No. 24).
Forbes's criteria for its 2012 appointment: being hotter than the rest (23,000 press mentions, 46 major magazine covers) and most sought after by fans (530 million YouTube views for "On the Floor," 12 million Facebook "likes" and more than 6 million "followers" on Twitter). Not bad for someone who was so over"or so everybody thought"just a few years ago.
In an interview with Oprah Winfrey on Oprah's Next Chapter, Lady Gaga announced her decision to sever all communication with the press.
"I do not intend to speak to anyone for a very long time," she says, stating that it was just as much a personal choice as it was a creative one. Following the success of her latest album Born This Way, the singer has chosen to lay low in 2012, instead focusing on a new album and an overseas tour, as well as her Born This Way Foundation.
As for her own media consumption? "No press, no television," says Gaga. "If my mom calls and says, 'Did you hear about?' I don't want to know nothing about anything that is going on in relation to music. I shut it all off."
Since the turn of the century, Mariah Carey's once-seemingly indestructible career has twisted and turned, going up and down and back around like that roller-coaster ride in the video for "Fantasy," one of her biggest songs from the last century.
Ups: The Emancipation of Mimi, the best selling album of 2005 in the US, which featured "We Belong Together," the biggest solo single of Carey's career, and a well-reviewed supporting performance in the Oscar-nominated 2009 film Precious. Downs: a flop film/soundtrack combo (2001's Glitter), under-performing albums and singles and that public meltdown that sent her star shooting in the wrong direction for most of the first half of the millennium.
Now that star is in a state of flux, teetering, thanks to her last album, 2009's Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, which yielded mixed results. Though it received decent reviews, it launched only one Top 10 single (the Eminem-dissing "Obsessed"), and became her first studio album not to at least go platinum. A Memoirs remix album, Angels Advocate, was scrapped, and not even a tacked-on Nicky Minaj cameo could pull "Up Out My Face," the first single from the aborted project, higher than No. 100 on Billboard's Hot 100.
But through the rain (to quote the title of one of her downs), nobody ever accused Carey of being over. In fact, the timing might be perfect for her to launch a full-scale comeback, which unofficially began on March 1 with a forty-minute show at New York City's Gotham Hall, her first performance since giving birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe on April 30, 2011.
Adele is helping to make the Hot 100 once again safe for sisters with voices, and the death of Whitney Houston has increased the void that she and Carey spent the '90s filling. Like Houston, she specializes in the sort of big, melismatic R&B ballads that have been MIA from the tops of the pops for several years now. Carey could use one to claw her way back to the top of the diva heap, but she'll need a sturdy comeback plan. Here are five guidelines she should scribble on it.
Choose your collaborators wisely. Carey has released little new music since 2009, aside from her second holiday album, 2010's Merry Christmas II You, and a re-recording of her own "All I Want for Christmas Is You" with Justin Bieber for Under the Mistletoe, his 2011 Christmas album. Though that's precisely the kind of collaboration she should avoid in the future (a forty-something woman need not be seen and/or heard cavorting musically with a teenager), the recent news that she's been in the studio with Jermaine Dupri, who co-wrote and co-produced "We Belong Together," is already music to these cautiously optimistic ears.
Sure Carey could probably score at least one quick hit by hooking up with Dr. Luke, will.i.am or David Guetta, but why chase after the scraps that all of those other pop divas have been picking on, or invite such overexposed rappers like Minaj and Lil Wayne into the studio to spice up whatever she's cooking up? She and her longtime cohort can produce a gourmet meal that fans won't be able to feast on anywhere else.
Keep leaving "dem babies" at home. It was wise of her to refer to her twins with husband Nick Cannon only in onstage banter at the New York City show and not actually trot them out. Sex sells, and although motherhood is sexy, nobody wants to see Carey pushing around twin baby strollers in a little black dress.
Get involved: Sign up for as many extracurricular activities as possible. It's hard to imagine that Jennifer Lopez would have scored a comeback hit last year with "On the Floor," or a plum spot Oscar-presenting with Cameron Diaz at this year's Academy Awards if she'd never signed on as an American Idol judge. (Does that mean she has Idol to blame for that unfortunately exposed nipple while co-presenting Best Costume Design and Best Makeup?)
Carey was at one point mentioned to fill the Idol seat that Lopez eventually snagged. Now that Paula Abdul is gone from the US X Factor, Carey should lobby hard with Simon Cowell to take her place and then use the show to launch the first single from her next album.
And don't forget, you're an actress, too. After a few false starts, Carey finally proved herself in Hollywood with her small but pivotal performance as a supportive social worker in Precious. Since Whitney Houston is no longer around to reprise her role as Savannah in the planned sequel to Waiting to Exhale, Carey should make sure that she, and not Oprah Winfrey, as has been suggested, is next in line to replace her.
Act your age, not Katy Perry's. Carey once told me during an interview, that her baby-doll persona is totally wink-wink: those sideways glances, the fluttering of her eyelids, calling fans her "lambs""all an act. I got the joke, but unfortunately, it only made it easier to believe she'd suffered a serious breakdown in early 2001, since she'd always acted a little… off.
Now that she's in her forties, it's time to overhaul the life-size-Barbie image. Adele became the biggest pop star in the world without a single gimmick. Carey should follow suit and rely solely on her voice. It's still in working order, and for all her ups and downs this century, it's the one thing that hasn't failed her yet.
By now, Beyoncé's fourth album, 4 has been out for a week and staked its claim on the charts. We've all read the mixed reviews and ponderings of pop-culture commentators debating whether or not this one is a "flop". For me, it couldn't be. Beyoncé does not know the meaning of words like that.
4 is an obvious transition for Bey, pushing her audiences to grow with her and inviting them through a journey they may not have expected. Sprinkled with tinges of the B we know and love are songs like "Countdown" and "Best Thing I Never Had" while the mid-tempo "Party", featuring Andre 3000, is more of a stretch but equally endearing. She challenges fans to be open-minded, telling MTV, "I'm not in a box. It's not R&B. It's not typically pop. It's not rock. It's just everything I love all mixed together in my own little gumbo of music." While some are surprised by the unconventional tracklist, her formula hasn't changed all that much.
I remember being equally perplexed upon first listen of her 2006 hit, "Ring The Alarm." I was not immediately drawn to the harsh, aggressive, angry-sounding B and unusual tempo changes of the song. Then came the video, and live performance at the VMA's, and I was hooked. The song became an instant anthem, and I had visions of Beyoncé whipping her ponytail every time it played.
"Run The World (Girls)" was the 4's first single, and had an equally mystifying effect the first few times I heard it. It was weird. Disjointed. Chaotic. I didn't get it. The video, of course, did not disappoint and I was once again enamored with the Texas-born beauty. Then came her Billboard Awards performance. Phenomenal. She literally brought the house down and delivered one of the best television performances in the show's history. If that wasn't enough, she decided to immortalize the once forgettable single by singing it to THE girl that run's the world, Oprah Winfrey at her farewell show. Now, every time "Girls" comes on the radio, I find myself dancing relentlessly and feeling empowered. She did it again.
Beyoncé can sell anything. That's what makes her great. She aired "Year Of 4" two days after the album's release on MTV and BET, inviting fans into the making of the album. In it, she invites us into the secret world that is "Beyoncé's real life" and makes the case for her album's creation. She forces fans to become truly invested in her journey, and the resulting records. She lovingly pushes us onto her page, challenging us to doubt her. We wouldn't dare. "Sometimes we don't reach for the stars, sometimes we are satisfied with what people tell us we're supposed to be satisfied with, and I'm just not going for it." The intensely guarded star shows us footage of life with husband, Jay-Z while seducing us with songs like "1+1" in the background. Genius.
The only thing more astounding than Beyoncé's unrivaled ability to make us love her is the effortlessness with which she pulls it off. I know she's tricking me, and I don't mind at all. I don't feel forced, only more hypnotized, by her charm, her talent and her swag. The truth is, it doesn't matter what I think I like, Beyoncé will surely get me there willingly, one way or another. She's just so damn good.
Alexandria Maillot is far from an ordinary teenager. Unless you consider graduation at 16, followed by music awards, performances overseas, songwriting credits on gold-selling records, and spot in Oprah's Search for the World's Smartest and Most Talented Kids ordinary. Think of her as a more grounded version of Miley Cyrus"an artist blessed with an equally powerful voice, a pretty face, but more likely to spend her free time volunteering with charities than trolling the streets in minuscule jean shorts. Hope and the power of positive thinking are common themes in Maillot's songcraft. All We Need is a mercurial little number that segues from a doleful piano intro to a sailing power pop chorus. The message may be sappy but it's sweet: You're all good as long as you have a hand to hold. Revolution is soulful pop with a percolating bass line, where Maillot invites her fellow youth to rebuild society. If all the feel-goodness makes you queasy, put on Confession for a sexier, edgier kiss-off. Maillot is wholesome, sure. But she's not squeaky clean. And in that one regard, she's a completely ordinary teen.
The Good
OK Go get dogged in new video
If you've ever watched an OK Go video, you know choreography is key. Exhibits A, B, and C right here. This latest installment is no different, but adds man's best friend to the mix with heart-warming results. If one of these furry little rapscallions doesn't get a gig on Dancing With The Stars then there is no justice in this world. Oh, and 10 points if you can spot the goat.
And then, these guys jumped on the bandwagon …
Ever heard of a band called OK Go? Quirky, ambitious videos? Winsome electro-pop? Subject of blurb Number 1 in this column? Here's video that lampoons their whimsical, electro-pop methodology … using a giant pie!
The Bad
Aretha Franklin's son beaten at Detroit gas station
Eddie Franklin, 52, son of soul singer Aretha Franklin, ended up in the hospital on Monday night after three men jumped him and beat him severely in a Detroit gas station parking lot. Franklin underwent emergency oral surgery and was released on Wednesday. Charges have not yet been filed.
The-Dream and L.A. Reid fired from Def Jam
Word on the street is that producer L.A. Reid (responsible for cultivating the careers of Mariah Carey, Pink, Usher, Ciara and countless other stars) and R&B singer/producer The-Dream were just fired from Def Jam Records due to disappointing sales figures and exuberant spending. If true, this would be The-Dream's second break-up of 2010. If he gets strapped for cash, maybe he can sell the pointless hyphen in his name.
The Ugly
50 Cent threatens his dog with a knife
In an attempt to be funny, 50 cent posted pics to his Twitter page of him threatening his yorkie, Oprah Winfrey, with a knife. Totally lame, and kind of disturbing. Seriously, someone call animal rescue on this tool. In happier news, here's a video of kittens massaging each other.

- Raise and support the rear of the vehicle safely using jackstands.
- Remove the rear tire and wheel assemblies.
- Matchmark the drum to the hub or hub studs for installation purposes.
- Pull the brake drum from the hub studs. It may by necessary to gently tap the rear edges of the drum using a rubber mallet to start it off the studs.
- If the drum will not come off past the shoes, it will be necessary to retract the adjusting screw. Remove the access hole cover from the backing plate and turn the adjuster to retract the linings away from the drum.
The rear wheel bearings are not adjustable, they are serviced by replacement only. If necessary to replace the rear wheel bearings, please refer to the axle shaft, bearing and seal, removal and installation procedures located in Fuel System of this guide.
- If removed, install a rubber adjustment hole cover before reinstalling the drum.
- Install the drum in the same position on the hub as removed.
- Install the rear tire and wheel assemblies.
- Remove the jackstands and carefully lower the vehicle.
Clean all grease, brake fluid, and other contaminants from the brake drum using brake cleaner. Visually check the drum for scoring, cracks, or other damage and replace, if necessary.
Check the drum inner diameter using a brake shoe clearance gauge. There are 2 important specifications when discussing rear drum diameters. The refinish diameter is the maximum diameter to which the drum may be machined. This diameter allows room for drum wear after is has been machined and is returned to service. The discard diameter is the point at which the drum becomes unsafe to use and must be discarded. NEVER refinish a drum to the discard diameter. If after refinishing the drum the diameter is within 0.030 in. (0.76mm) of the discard diameter, the drum MUST be replaced.

Child's Play Theatre's June Benefit Set for Second City E.T.C., 6/18
Five improv comedy teams will be the featured entertainment at Second City E.T.C. Theatre for the 35th anniversary benefit of Child's Play Touring Theatre on Wednesday, June 18. Groups performing represent Second City Training Center House Ensembles, iO Theatre, Goodman Theatre, Brouhaha and Child's Play's touring group.
They will be performing improvised versions of randomly selected children written stories in a light-hearted, comedic competition. Funds raised will go to a more serious topic that is the theme of the benefit, Be a Peace of the Puzzle, which is a writing program promoting peace and anti-violence in schools.
Performances will be judged and a winner chosen by judges:
- Aaron Freeman, journalist, comedian, author and blogger
- Vito Gioia, director of visitor experience, Kohl's Children's Museum
- Jane Monzures, host, Living Social Chicago, WGN-TV
- Cheryl Sloan, former general manager and producer, Second City
Sponsorships, a silent auction and presentation of the annual Victor Awards also are part of the benefit activities to raise funds supporting the Be a Peace of the Puzzle program. Theatres, restaurants, retail businesses, travel packages, museums, cultural arts and others are asked to donate items to raise funds that support the in-school program. Schools around the country pay Child's Play to bring their touring troupe and program to the school.
"We would like to raise enough from this benefit, and especially from corporate sponsors, to send our Be a Peace of the Puzzle program to inner city schools who can't afford to pay us and where this particular program may do the most good," said June Podagrosi, executive director and co-founder. "This program promotes peace in the school through the mouths of children. Kids love us, especially in grades K-8."
More information about the June 18 benefit is available at www.cptt.org, including purchase of tickets, auction item donations and sponsorships. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
Child's Play Touring Theatre was founded in 1978 by Victor Podagrosi and his wife June, current Executive Director who started the Victor Award in his memory. The 501(c)3 not-for-profit theatre arts page-to-stage literacy program puts writings of children on stage, which are performed by professional actors at schools around the country. More than 16,000 young authors have been represented in Child's Play productions, reaching more than 4 million people across the country.

Travlr (2947) Charlotte , North Carolina | September 21, 2015
Small place, packed to the rafters with beer. Literally floor to ceiling. Bunch of taps behind the counter as well. Sadly my suitcases were already stuffed, otherwise I could very easily splurge here. Next time.
Slipstream (116) | February 24, 2015
I came upon this little bottle shop by chance, since it is (very wisely) located on the way from Barcade to Torst. Service was very friendly and it is a likeable joint, with some interesting draft selections. They have an odd growler filling system that requires you to use their plastic bottles. The prices were a little high, sorry to say, but I would drop in here again.
jtclockwork (513) , New Jersey | December 26, 2014| Updated December 27, 2014
Small store near Torst. Packed with good beer though that is still available after the more popular destinations sell out. Easily spent $100 and they had a promotion with a free can of Heady Topper ever $50 spent, so worked out nice. Prices are what you'd expect. Middle of the road for the area.
jercraigs (569) Toronto, Ontario | May 1, 2014
By chance we walked by a place this place en route from Torst to Barcade (I hadn't even put this on my map since I was planning to bottle shop elsewhere) and decided to pop in. It is tiny but offers growler fills and a modest bottle selection. I grabbed a handful of bottles from the likes of Stone, Maine Beer Co, and Captain Lawrence. There was more available but I didn't want to have too many in my bag. Service was friendly, the woman behind the counter offered to answer any questions we had but we didn't really have any. Prices seemed a little bit on the high side but I don't have much to compare to in NY, and I didn't really balk at price of anything I picked out. Worth a stop but not huge destination.
mfp13jr (45) Glenville, New York | April 7, 2014
Nice little shop. Boutique is just it. A small place with a good selection of beers, with limited quantities. I've never gotten a growler filled, but they usually have a decent selection. Service is always friendly and great.

I stumbled upon this place. Very decent selection both in bottles and on tap for growler fills. Lots of NY and New England breweries. Fair prices. Friendly service. Not a destination shop but I wouldn't mind having this place in my neighborhood.
swoopjones (313) Buffalo, New York | December 3, 2012
Little place, looked like 8-10 taps, decent bottle selection. Captain Lawrence bottles. Taps included captain Lawrence, pretty things, clown shoes, founders. Solid selection but nothing mind blowing
Chapel (40) Levittown, New York | August 26, 2012
Went in not expecting much from such a tiny store. It must be something of a hidden secret in Brooklyn. Although there is a lot of competition for beer in the local area, this cozy little store is packed to the rafters with stuff some might find interesting. Vitali, the owner, and his wife are very knowledgeable about the different products in their store and they have a number of things on tap for beer to go in what appear to be 750ml bottles. Decent selection, friendly knowledgeable staff, open late... what else can you really ask for in a shop this size? With Barcade and Fette Sau right down the street, this makes a perfect place to stop and grab something for later.

|My recollection of Power Glide is that it's to the left of the problem the woman is shown on. The key hold is a crappy undercling in the roof off which you paste the feet high and make a huge toss to the top - Power then Glide. The incut on the upper face mid way up maybe out ... I just can't remember. I just recall some crazy dyno action after sick power crimping. Classic eliminate problem. I could be mistaken, but after years spent in my youth working Power Glide back in the 80s with the likes of Steve Mammen, Mark Wilford, Tim Fairfield, Dave the Hippy, etc. I am fairly positive. The problem the gal is on checks in at about V3 and is no where near V8. Solid old school B2!

|I believed Joseph has this problem confused with the Talent Scout Roof, because the problem she's on is not V3. It is in fact somewhere near V8. Indeed there are "eliminates" to the problem Talent Scout that check in at V8 (and one of them may have been know as Power Glide), but the route pictured here is commonly known today as Power Glide V8; it has unique holds until the move left to the in-cut on Talent Scout. The route Joseph describes sounds a lot like the present day Talent Scout Roof.

|What do you think about using that pinch up right where the roof connects to the lower section? I give it a V6 with that hold.

NOTE: No worship service was held on January 21st due to inclement weather. 4th Sunday after the Epiphany Rev. D. K. Schroeder Luke 4:21-32 SermonJanuary 28, 2007 Hymns (from The Service Book and Hymnal): 57 Bright And Glorious Is The Sky 32 Rejoice, Rejoice This Happy Morn 558 How Firm A Foundation Ye Saints Of The Lord 309 Thou Whose Almighty Word 531 Jesus Saviour Pilot Me WHEN PERFECT JUST ISNT GOOD ENOUGH TEXT (vs. 28-32): All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. They got up, drove [Jesus] out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff. But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way. Then he went down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and on the Sabbath began to teach the people. They were amazed at his teaching, because his message had authority. It hasnt been too long ago, the beginning of this month actually, that I received in the mail a copy of two letters written by two pastors who were resigning their call at a congregation. These pastors, one a senior pastor and the other an associate pastor, had experienced what I would like to call irreconcilable differences with the large, 1,000+ member congregation they were serving. I found the letters disturbing, because they brought to light problems and difficulties that have existed in that congregation for almost fifty years. Of course the problem isnt with all the members of the congregation; it is just a handful of people that are causing the problems. Unfortunately, just a few can cause difficulties with manysomething like the proverbial rotten apple spoiling the whole barrel. What has happened is that this congregation has gotten the reputation of chewing up pastors and spitting them out like so much tobacco juice. In the congregations fifty year history, they have gone through six pastors or senior pastors, notwithstanding associates. The longest pastorate I believe theyve had lasted for 13 years. Each pastor has been differentdifferent ages, preaching styles, backgrounds, and personalities. None are ever good enough; and so after a short time, theyre ushered (sometimes quite rudely) to the door, with the hope that the next one will be the perfect one. Each of the pastors has handled this differently as well. Most have simply accepted a call to a different congregation. One retired. And in this most current case, both the pastor and associate have simply tendered their resignations without another call in hand. Of course the question arises as to why this situation has been allowed to go on as long as it has. Church officials have known about this situation in the past, and have made some bad decisions; or in some cases, they have chosen to simply sit on their hands and do nothing. Pastors are usually reluctant to expose internal problems theyve experienced, especially after theyve left the congregation, since they dont want a new pastor coming in based upon another pastor's jaded opinion of the congregation. They dont want someone to come in with their mind already made up, since past problems might be perceived to be nothing more than a personality clash between some of the members and a former pastor. I admire these two pastors for writing the letters they did and bringing the problems to light. I believe they did this, not seeking revenge or recompense, but with a spirit of genuine love and concern for the people, with the hope that the problems can be dealt with and fixed before a new pastor is called. From all indications, they believe that the problems have gone on long enough, and its time for some definite and decisive action. As I read through and studied todays Gospel lesson, this situation immediately popped into my mind. You couldnt find a better pastor and theologian than Jesus Christ himself. The sinless Son of God was indeed the perfect pastor. There can be no question about that. But yet, this congregation in Nazareth had some real and definite problems. In their estimation, Jesus was nothing more than the son of the carpenter. He had grown up in that congregation, and many members of his earthly family were still there. The church in Jesus day did things in a similar fashion as we do today. There were Scripture lessons appointed for each Sabbath, which were read in the worship services. Since Jesus was visiting them, he was given the honor of reading and giving a message to the group. What followed was nothing short of a riot. The members of that Nazareth congregation not only wanted to show Jesus the door, they wanted to kill him. The audacity of this simple carpenters son to come and preach Gods Word to them! He has no authority! We dont have to listen to him! Lets take him to the edge of a cliff and throw him off! Christians everywhere look at the situation presented in our text today, and they are horrified. They say to themselves, How could these people be so heartless as to so mistreat Jesus this way! Shame on them! But then you have congregations like the one I mentioned in the beginning of my sermon that seemingly without any compunction at all can read this account in our Gospel lesson for today, and then proceed to chew through pastor after pastor, regurgitating one perceived fault after another, and then fail to equate their actions with those people of this Nazareth congregation which caused Jesus so much trouble. How and why do things like this happen? I believe it happens when a seemingly insignificant handful of people in a congregation want to run everything, and they develop an attitude of its either my way or the highway. This is then coupled with general Biblical ignorance, especially when it comes to the doctrine of the call and the office of the public ministry. The result is a potentially volatile and often spiritually lethal combination of things. For those who are power hungry and insist on controlling everything in a congregation, the Apostle Peter records these words of instruction in I Peter 5, 5: All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." The congregation of Gods people is not a place for power struggles amongst the members or between the members and the pastor; rather, the members and the pastor are to serve the kingdom of God together in humble service. Members who insist on being in control and getting their own way tend to do little more than to be a huge irritation to everyone around them. Secondly, Biblical ignorance often shows itself in the way people regard the pastors call to a congregation. People will sometimes value the congregations call to a pastor with no more regard than a secular employer/employee relationshipsomething like the manager at the local BP service station hiring somebody to work the three to eleven shift at the cash register. Some time ago, I read what the perfect pastor should be. Ive since seen this in varying forms and lengths, but it carries the same idea. Allow me to share this with you: (begin quote) A recent survey has compiled all the qualities that people expect from the perfect pastor. Here we share some of them with you. Results of a computerized survey indicated that the perfect pastor preaches exactly 12 minutes. He frequently condemns sin but never upsets anyone. He works from 8 am until midnight and is also the church janitor. He makes $60 a week, wears good clothes, buys good books, drives a good car, and gives about $80 a week to the poor. He is 28 years of age, and he's been preaching for 30 years. He is wonderfully gentle and handsome. He gives of himself completely but never gets too close to anyone lest he be criticized. He is a good husband and father, but would never think of wasting any money on a night out with his wife or Baskin-Robbins ice cream cones for his children. He speaks boldly on social issues, but never becomes polically involved. He has a burning desire to work with teenagers, and he spends all his time with senior citizens. He makes 15 calls daily on parish families, plus he visits shut-ins and the hospitalized, spends all his time evangelizing the unchurched, and is always in his office when needed. (end quote) Of course this is intended to be humorous, but theres a sad ring of reality to it as well. Everybody has their own ideas and expectations of a pastor; and when these ideas are coupled up and listed, the result is something akin to what I just read to you. Lets look at what the Bible says. Certainly there are qualifications set out for a pastor. II Timothy 4:2-5 gives us a basic overview of these things: Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encouragewith great patience and careful instruction; for the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and discharge all the duties of your ministry. This speaks very well to those who have a distorted view of the pastor and his ministry. Where the pastor is to faithfully preach and teach the Word of God, there are those who are instead looking for someone to satisfy their own ideas and fancies; and theyll keep on chewing up and spitting out everyone who comes along that doesnt give their itching ears what they want to hear. So how is a congregation to regard its pastor? What does the Bible say? Lets begin with I Timothy 5:17-18: The elders who direct the affairs of the church well are worthy of double honor, especially those whose work is preaching and teaching. For the Scripture says, Do not muzzle the ox while it is treading out the grain, and The worker deserves his wages. Is a church who routinely discards pastors giving them double honor? Are people who demand their own way guilty of muzzling the ox? Are such people seeing to it that the pastor is supported both morally and physically? Those are rhetorical questions, by the way. The next directive from Scripture Ill share with you is from Hebrews 13:17: Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you. As I read through those two letters of resignation from those pastors, I saw no words of joy. The actions of those few people in that congregation and their persistent refusal to submit to Gods authority had made the ministry of those two pastors a burden that had to be borne. Those people had successfully removed the joy of serving the Lord in the midst of that congregation. Finally, Ephesians 4:11-12 says: It was [Jesus] who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
People who demand their own way and are hungry for power have no desire to be prepared for works of service. Theyll say things like: Works of service? Building up the body of Christ? Thats what we pay the pastor for! But thats not what God says in the Bible, nor does he even allude to that line of thinking. The Biblical examples of the Christian Church in its infancy right down to the present day all show that the Church has flourished and grown through the faithful work of the laity. The Holy Spirit works through us so that people may come to know the Gospel of Jesus Christ and be saved. And for this to happen, Gods people need to be prepared for works of service so that the body of Christ, namely the Church may be built up. Gods called servants do get frustrated however when there is dissention amongst the ranks, and people rebel against his authority and turn to their own ways. Moses felt this frustration with the Israelites too. He shares some of this frustration with us in Numbers 11: [Moses] asked the LORD, Why have you brought this trouble on your servant? What have I done to displease you that you put the burden of all these people on me? Did I conceive all these people? Did I give them birth? Why do you tell me to carry them in my arms, as a nurse carries an infant
? I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me. If this is how you are going to treat me, put me to death right nowif I have found favor in your eyesand do not let me face my own ruin." Now thats frustration! And I would imagine that many of Gods called servants down through the ages have echoed those same sentiments when dealing with bossy, stubborn, and rebellious people. Allow me to share a story with you, and I understand this to be true: (begin quote) A member of an official church board, undergoing the painful process of calling a pastor finally lost patience. He'd watch the pastoral relations committee reject applicant after applicant, for some fault, alleged or otherwise. It was time for a bit of soul-searching on the part of the committee. He stood up to read a letter purporting to be from another applicant. "Gentlemen: Understanding your pulpit is vacant, I should like to apply for the position. I have many qualifications. I've been a preacher with much success and also have had some success as a writer. Some say I'm a good organizer. I've been a leader most places I've been. What I do is a labor of love from the grace of God that is with me and I require no other payment. I am over 50 years of age. I have never preached in one place for more than three years. In some places, I have left town after my work caused riots and disturbances. I must admit, I have been in jail three or four times, but not because of any wrongdoing. My health is not too good, though I still get a great deal done. The churches I have preached in have been small, though located in several large cities. I've not gotten along well with religious leaders in towns where I have preached. In fact, some have threatened me and even attacked me physically. I am not too good in keeping records. I have been known to forget who I baptized. However, if you can use me, I shall do my best for you." The board member looked at the committee. "Well, what do you think? Shall we call him?" The good church folks were aghast. Call an unhealthy, trouble-making, absent-minded ex-jailbird? Was the board member crazy? Who signed the application? Who had such colossal nerve? The board member eyed them all keenly before he answered, It is signed, the Apostle Paul." (end quote) We can see how human wisdom can differ from Gods, and thankfully it does. The pastors call is something that is of divine origin, and not some form of human arrangement. The congregation makes a unanimous decision to call a pastor, and he is there because God wants him to be there. And since God is the one in charge, he spells out in the Bible what he expects of both pastor and congregation in this relationship. Biblical ignorance in this and other areas can only lead to disaster. In our text for today, the perfect pastor who is Jesus himself is faced with a problem congregation, which happened to be his own home-town congregation. The situation was so severe, that he did the only thing he could do, and that was to turn and simply walk away. The two pastors whose letters of resignation I read felt they had no other choice but to do the very same thing. I know for a fact that many of you have done the same thing too. You found yourselves in the midst of an impossible situation, and you chose the only God-pleasing solution there was, which was to simply turn and walk away. And so here we are. We arent a perfect congregation, and Im certainly not the perfect pastor. But were all here together, gathered around Gods Word and Sacraments. Were here because we know God loves us and wants us to be part of his divine family. We know that when we come to him confessing all of our sins and faults, that we will find forgiveness through faith in our Saviour Jesus Christ. We know that our past has been forgiven and forgotten, and that God has wiped the slate clean. Through Jesus, our sins have been completely removed from us, as far as the east is from the west. Therefore we can show the world that we are a Gospel church, a church that celebrates the undeserved love God has for us and all of humanity. There is no power struggle or politics when it comes to our humble service in the kingdom. God is in charge here, and he is indeed the Lord of our lives. May he always keep us prepared for works of service, so the whole body of Christ may be built up.

America is facing an economic crisis. Our skyrocketing deficit, lost bond rating and lack of leadership in Washington are cause for great concern. We need conservative reform in Washington to turn things around. In Congress I will focus on cutting out-of-control spending, reforming entitlements and eliminating the culture of earmarks.
Congress' irresponsible spending has created major problems for Americans. For one, it has created a debt burden that our children will be obligated to pay off and if we don't take action, possibly their children too. My first priority will be to make sure Congress balances the budget without raising taxes, just like every family must balance its own checkbook. As egregious as running an exorbitant yearly deficit is, I find it just as disenchanting that the process of earmarking still goes on in Congress. In times of fiscal peril, Members of Congress should not be given the latitude to spend taxpayer's money on their pet projects. We must eliminate this practice that is a fundamental abuse of taxpayer dollars. If we don't eliminate earmarking, start balancing budgets and getting our fiscal house in order, we could put our credit rating in further peril, creating uncertainty in the economy and preventing an economic recovery.
We need to do more than rein in discretionary spending. We need to fundamentally reform the entitlement system in our country. We must keep our promises to the individuals that are already in the system, but we cannot continue on the same path for future participants. At current rates, federal spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is fundamentally unsustainable. If current spending continues, the government simply will not be able to provide these services in the future. Effective reform means restructuring these programs so that they can keep their promises to current enrollees, and continue to provide services to the next generation of Americans.
Taking on reform means making the difficult decisions. As a member of Governor Sanford's cabinet, I made executive decisions to cut wasteful spending on excessive staff and solved systemic performance issues in the state Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. These actions saved taxpayers money and improved the department's efficiency and accountability. I have fought for and achieved reform in public office, something Washington politicians seem incapable of delivering. We need reform in Washington and I have the experience to provide it.

8:00am Saturday 11th January 2014
LOSTOCK Gralam Parish Council look set to charge residents the same rate of council tax in the upcoming financial year.
Despite Cheshire West and Chester Council reducing the amount offered in a grant, Lostock Gralam parish council expect to keep the portion of council tax they charge the same for the 2014/25 financial year.
The parish council confirmed a grant received since Cheshire West and Chester's formation is to be gradually decreased each year.
As well as the parish council's precept, the full council tax bill includes a precept for Cheshire West and Chester Council, Cheshire Fire Authority and Cheshire Police Authority.

RESIDENTS living near a mothballed old school and college site in Stourbridge's Old Quarter are calling for action in the wake of latest vandal attacks.
A blaze at the old Longlands School and Stourbridge College art campus, off Brook Street, has prompted people living nearby and former students to call for decisions to be made over the future of the site which has lain derelict since 2011.
Long-time neighbour John Milner, of Brook Street, has started a Facebook group 'Get something done about the Longlands Site' to get people talking and sharing ideas for the site – most of which is owned by Birmingham Metropolitan College, which inherited the land when it merged with Stourbridge College; while the old playing fields and garden area at the back of the site are owned by Dudley Council.
Mr Milner said: "This problem has been ongoing for several years but nothing seems to be done.
"When we had initial talks they were going to board it up but it's never been boarded up. It's a wreck.
"They've ripped everything out and left rubbish all over the place.
"It's the same with the playing field – but nobody's got the political will to do anything about it."
He said numerous people in the area have expressed an interest in turning the over-grown school field into allotments and he added: "I'm sure we could get a group of volunteers to clear it if someone could get a bit of low cost machinery in - and let allotment holders take it over.
"And I think the school should be listed; there's not many of those old quadrant schools around now."
The school buildings are believed to be listed locally, according to former ward councillor Nic Barlow (Conservative) who said the latest vandalism attack had proved "very concerning for people who live in that area".
The blaze on April 11, which saw four fire crews called out , caused mostly smoke damage to a modern two-storey classroom block - leaving the original historic school buildings intact.
But Mr Barlow said: "We just need another arson incident and the place could be damaged to such a state that it's going to have to be demolished. It's a worry - it puts surrounding properties at risk.
"It's time for the council, the college and others to get round the table to thrash this out once-and-for-all."
A Birmingham Metropolitan College spokesman said the college has been working with the council and Dudley planners to find a suitable buyer for the site which has long been tipped for residential development.
John Starmer, the college's executive director of estates, added: "We take our duty of care very seriously and are putting additional mobile security patrols into the schedule in an effort to combat the problems we've experienced. We have also contacted local police to enlist further support whilst we endeavour to find a buyer for the site."
Mohammed Farooq, Dudley Council's assistant director for law and governance, said: "The council has been in contact with the college to explore ways to work together, however, we have no current plans to sell off the playing fields on the site. Any issues of crime or anti-social behaviour should be reported to police."
Ward councillor Chris Hale (Labour) said he has been working with ward colleagues since elected to try and bring the playing fields back into use for the community but he added: "I'd like to pursue it and get something moving but there isn't much that can be done this side of the election."

An Illinois city may shutter its main wastewater plant in a major plan to upgrade infrastructure, but the decision would come with a huge price tag.
"Users of the wastewater system [would] be paying for the project, which is expected to cost an estimated $21 million, for the next 20 years in increased rates," the Northwest Herald reported.
Final approval of the project requires a council vote, the report said.
If the McHenry, IL, council green lights the project, "the improvements could cost the average wastewater user $150 a year over the next two decades, assuming no new system users," according to a separate Herald piece.
The wastewater plant in McHenry is aging, making compliance with environmental codes increasingly difficult. The city council has to come to a decision on whether to shut down the operation.
Back in 2005, environmental regulators dinged McHenry for releasing too much waste into the Fox River, according to the Herald.
"Repairs were made in 2006 to bring the plant back into compliance. But to address the underlying issues at the plant – which dates back in parts to the 1950s – the city proposed consolidating its two plants over the next 10 years," the report said.
The future of the plant came into question after the recession hit. "When the economy collapsed in 2007, plans to consolidate and expand the southern treatment plant were shelved, though the city did begin the consolidation process, diverting 30 percent of wastewater to the southern plant and 100 percent of solids for final treatment," the report said.
The new plan is pricy. About $2.02 million to $2.68 million would go to engineering costs, along with $15.5 million to $18.6 million in construction and demolition costs, according to the report. HR Green, an engineering consulting firm, drew up the proposal for the future of the city's sewage.
"These costs would need to be taken on by the city regardless of whether it moves ahead with the project now, [an HR Green official said], adding that if the project is put off, the city would also have to pay for continuing maintenance on the central treatment plant, plus any improvements required when the city renegotiates its 10-year plan with [state regulators]," the report said.
In McHenry, the city operates two wastewater plants, according to the local government. It also operates 19 wastewater lift stations.
The wastewater sector will require $298 billion in infrastructure spending over the next twenty years, according to a report card created by the American Society of Civil Engineers.

April Of 68: Martin Luther King Is Dead - Poem by Lamont Palmer
News preempted news, upstaging clean air,
forced and stained against each open doorway,
while our faces were awash in speeches that cured.
Then the shot! Penetrating around the world,
Everything blackened, down to the clothes.
Pride created the luminous black ties,
And black handkerchiefs, at the sad ready,
(my classmates all had them, grievous wardrobe)
accessorizing that week against the chest
of boyhood and fear: morose little soldiers.
Someone (and something) was most certainly dead,
and April would share, with death, thoughts of spring.
Night. Mother's voice, unlike I had ever heard,
Dread and urgency, her new concoction,
From window to window, changed room to changed room.
'Where is your brother? He's supposed to
be in by 10pm.' Darkness, a curfew,
(my brother, out, in teen oblivion)
jeeps, soldiers, a city unlike its lit, wide self.
Heavy blood, shed for life's own heaviness:
the father of us, alive in the caustic crowds,
drank the podium pleasantries, food of leaders,
near dead, but soon wholly dead on the whole of night,
and warm laps where bleeding heads are held.
For me, a church boy, the New Testament, my story,
it was Judgement Day sweeping other days.
Looking toward the sky; expecting wrath,
I'm unprotected by deism, the doubter's gem.
Nothing comes of guns but more guns. Smoke hurts:
smoke of insolent fire, we knew what it was,
in our dreams which lingered, long, like new jewels
from fresh caves - new and with a bemused shine.
Baltimore: never so much a fearsome scene;
to a boy, a world was growing, reaching toward
fiery doors; the year of heroes and holes.
That boy put his head in his mother's apron:
strings were like the ties that bound dead heroes.
Glimmer of damage, of the hurt, crystal-shaped,
but felt, coldly and against these faces,
settled on middleclass blocks. Pictures, dour,
of those old blocks: what has died, lives
magnanimously, in wind, in tears, and chimes,
lost chimes, lost sounds, noted by desolation.
We were not political, just a family
(safe, we thought, on placid Annellen Road)
drenched in media's blood and perceptions,
splattered and spayed, transformed by the scene:
a decade of martyrs, falling like dark rain.

In all fairness to Kinky Friedman, he was part humorist and part country singer, so we'll assume he sang this anti-women's rights anthem with tongue firmly planted in cheek. It was released in 1974 and was not a hit on the radio, although there is little doubt a certain generation of men celebrated his message. "You uppity women I don't understand / Why you gotta go and try to act like a man," Friedman sings. These days, even Rush Limbaugh would find the topic off color.

Er, this one is pretty disturbing, perhaps not suitable for summer entertainment.
But still, sacred cows are always a target here in the Friday Fun space: The 5 Most Terrifying Ways Doctors Went Crazy on the Job.
And thankfully, I'm about mid-way between checkups so I'll have plenty of time to forget about his one…
#1. The Doctor Who Gave His Girlfriend a Corpse Hand
Everyone has done something a little embarrassing in the name of love. We've all stood outside someone's window with a guitar, or, you know, lovingly dismembered a corpse to offer as a tip for our stripper girlfriend. Wait, maybe that one isn't so common. But that's what Dr. Ahmed Rashed did back in 2002, while he was studying in medical school.
The crime was discovered when police entered the home of topless dancer Linda Kay on an unrelated matter, a matter which probably took a back seat as soon as the cops saw the severed hand sitting in a jar on her dresser.
The story goes that Dr. Rashed, who was still just Mr. Rashed back then, became friendly with Kay while he was studying and she was taking her clothes off for money. Presumably, he told her that he'd do anything for a date, and she asked, "Anything?"
The hand came from a cadaver at the university that was due to be cremated, and according to Rashed's defense, he didn't realize that what he was doing was illegal. That's right, at no point while he was standing next to a casket with a bone saw, vigorously hacking some dead guy's hand off, did he take a moment to ask himself, "Wait a second, would this be considered illegal? Or insane?"
Rashed then took the hand back to the strip club and offered it to Kay, who not only didn't Mace him, but kept the damn thing for four years. It was only then, when Rashed was a licensed physician in Los Angeles, that he had to account for the whole situation and was arrested for theft, presumably after the judge had to flip through the law books to figure out what to charge him with.

Yesterday Twitter tipped us off about Canada's TSN2 switching from the NCAA Tournament's late games to show women's curling. Last night, we got confirmation from a reader who was in Canada for a bachelor party. After the jump, allow Ryan to share his harrowing tale.
This is very, very true. Myself and six other (Americans) made it up to Windsor for a long weekend in part to celebrate a Bachelor party, but also due to March Madness. We were all watching (and betting) on the games in the Legend's Bar/Restaurant at Caesar's Windsor. They cut to a Curling match and the place came unglued. It did, however, turn into sarcastic cheering and people trying to cash in fake Curling betting tickets. All in all it was pretty humorous. They had the American CBS feed, but refused to use it. It was TSN or nada. The Curling fiasco was right on par with TSN profiling the FIVE Canadian basketball players in the Tournament during a pre-game segment they called "Canadian Content."
Personally, I think its classy that he didn't include details about the maple syrup shots and strippers dressed like female mounties. It kind of reminds me of the Atlantic City bachelor party I attended where we all ended up watching the USA-Canada Board Battle slow-pitch softball game on a hung over Saturday afternoon. Of course, its not like ESPN preempted a CFL playoff game to show softball. Wacky Canadians.

The Washington Post reported this morning that the Republican National Committee withdrew an ad featuring footage on an Al Gore interview on the November 6, 1994 Meet the Press. NBC reporter Lisa Myers questioned Gore on his campaign-trail comments that then-Senate candidate Oliver North was a "pathological liar" who was unfit for elected office. When Myers asked if he or Clinton had told lies since taking office, Gore replied "None that spring to mind." Let's refresh Gore's faulty memory with a few Clinton whoppers of that vintage:
1. "Clinton began with what had become his rote reply - that the rumors [about Gennifer Flowers] were fictions made up by the Republican opposition in his last gubernatorial campaign."
- Newsweek's book Quest for the Presidency 1992, page 45.
2. "All I've been asked about by the press are a woman I didn't sleep with and a draft I didn't dodge."
- February 12, 1992 Nightline. Clinton later admitted to a sexual relationship with Gennifer Flowers and that he received a draft notice in 1969 but returned to England.
3. "I've talked to my client for hours, and he doesn't even know this woman. He absolutely denies this happened."
- Clinton lawyer Robert Bennett to Paula Jones lawyer Gilbert Davis in May 1994 as reported in Uncovering Clinton by Michael Isikoff, page 90. Clinton settled with Jones in 1998 for $850,000.

Arthritis and Rheumatism
Burning pain in foot
I have both RA and OA in my feet. Lately I have been getting this intense burning pain on the outside of my foot. From my little toes straight to my heal. I have had burning pain before but it is normaly felt on the inside of my foot. This time it also feels like it is on the out side and inside. It feels like someone has a flame to the side of my foot. I normaly put ice on it and that helps but nothing is helping this time. What might be causing the burming pain and what can I do to help with the burning?
There are several potential reasons for this type of burning pain. Usually the basic reason for burning pain involves the nerves. This can be a result of low back nerve pressure, regional leg nerve pressure or pressure on one of the local foot nerves. It can also be a result of some viral diseases, like shingles, although this is generally accompanied by a characteristic rash that you did not describe in your question. Finally there are more serious conditions that affect nerves that can cause progressive symptoms that you also did not describe. If however, this pain has persisted or has recurred over time it requires an examination by a podiatrist or other foot care specialist to make an accurate diagnosis and prescribe a course of care to address the issue.
