The Following Message Has Been Transcribed For
Clarity, Continuity Of Thought, And Punctuation By
The LEM Transcribing & Editing Team.
COMMENT1: It hurts, but you have to go through it. When you go through it you feel ashamed, you feel you have been made a mockery. God does not want to do that, He is just using someone obedient to stick with it, and say, "I can hear the Lord calling me."
COMMENT2: I was making a remark about the things that really need to be deal with in a persons life. Like for instance, many people have been abused in their childhood by their parents or a relative. A lot of times it can be sexual abuse. A large percent of the time I am finding that this is true. I did not think it was such a big part.
The reason I did not know is because it was never talked about in the church. I was thinking about it how the religion covers it over. The church people, the religion just covers it over. They go to church four or five times, whatever, three of four times to get to feeling better, while the world will drink, and drug to feel better. It is the same thing.
I was saying that the ministers, a lot of them, when they started getting.. (inaudible).. discernment through the Holy Spirit, not her in particular. I have never seen her do this. Most ministers have discerned it, and cast it out, and that is it. Once you get it cast out, it is over. I know in particular, this one minister he will say that it came back in, but the real truth of it is that it never left. It was a thing that happened to the soul, is takes time for it to get better.
I have been through this. I know one minister, he would say, "I battled that thing night after night. I did not yield to it. It would come back again, and say do it, do it, do it. I would have to battle it."
It is not just some spirit, just because I am crying in front of that man, it is just manifesting. It is true, there are those things that it is just not that simple, that you get the discernment, and you cast it out, and it is all over. They just do not want to talk about it. There is no church that you can go, sit down, and talk about being sexually abused or talk about incest without being shamed? There is no church. Maybe God is beginning to do it, but it is the truth, that there is not a church that you can go to, and come out of your shame-based family.
You find shame popping over to that person, popping up from that person. Projecting over to you, projecting over to you, that is what is happening in the churches. It is an unconscious thing that is going on, covered up by religion. It is condemnation, that is right, you walk out of the church with condemnation, and you do not even know where it came from. You are just trying hard to go with that church, whatever they are doing.
Whatever they are doing, whatever the preacher is saying, go with it. That is what I knew my whole life, and I must have been sexually abused before I was five years old. By the time I was five I knew the church world, I was flowing with it. I was out on the street. They told us at five years old to get out on the street. At five years old I was out on the street telling people that Jesus loves them, and they were going to Hell if they did not accept Jesus.
You learn it, you grow up learning this kind of thing. It is amazing, the whole time I am starting to deal with this is here, and I have gone to a psychologist, that talks about this. He says, "I want to talk about it." I am like, "What do you mean you want to talk about it?" That is when I started getting better, going to a group and talking about it. She was like, "I am going to show you that you are not the only one with these problems." I was like, "Wow."
The church does not talk about this, and the preachers think you cast it out, and that is that.
COMMENT1: Personal thing that helped me was that I did not hold a resentment when I got the deliverance for God to keep cracking that carnal mind. I look at this, what I was going through, when Sunday or Monday that was a horrendous day.
PASTOR VITALE: Inaudible.
COMMENT1: Monday was when it was very painful.
PASTOR VITALE: Monday night was the worst.
COMMENT1: It was so painful that I came in feeling great I just needed.. I mean, I could not go home, I could not go anywhere, I was just like a basket case. God allowed it, one thing after another, to break up, every time I was reprimanded. It was like I could not get it over, It got worse. Then there were certain phone calls that came in, and you had to speak to this one. It was like it was blowing up, and then they got the discernment, to pray.
It was just a hard, hard prayer and deliverance, then the prophesy came through. Then it was...after the prophesy was a deep wound. God flowed so deep I knew something cracked. If I had not been faithful in allowing it, I do not think I would have reached that point. That is what I want to say.
God allowed all the other time to bring me to this cracking point so that God could start to rule, it was tremendous.
COMMENT3: I want to say that the twelve steps, they really help the emotions as they go through it. I see great deliverance going on there, I know God brought me there. I see a reasonable doctrine here, He is bringing deliverance, in the inner, I can see the balance. I could not have stepped out and done what I did in the past year except that the Lord gave me...
COMMENT2: ...Inaudible...to be able to do that in the church world. I think that it is starting right here. I also believe that on top of that, that God is showing this ministry something extra that psychiatrists and the psychologist do not have. They do have a lot of knowledge, and they can help people that are really sick, that have horrible lives.
COMMENT2: ...Yes, but a person like me that is severe, because I do not black out, and go into another personality. They say I do not have another personality. God has shown Pastor Vitale, and this ministry that a person can have a lesser manifestation of that. If I talk to a psychologist, they would say they do not see anything like that in me at all. Yet I know deep down inside that it is true.
COMMENT3: I am not talking about the psychiatrists. I am talking about the help group that you go into, not the psychiatrist.
PASTOR VITALE: She was talking about the man, she was talking about the help group.
COMMENT2: I was talking in particular. I do not go to a help group, I go to a psychologist.
COMMENT3: You used the word "group" that is why I thought you were talking about that.
COMMENT2: Yes, because they do, do it sometimes in groups. It is not a group that I go to. I go to a psychologist. I was talking about a psychologist, and this ministry. I am saying that they are both a big help to me, but in this ministry it is an even bigger help. There is something here that they do not have. There is something spiritually missing. It is the same knowledge that they have about personalities, about split personalities that they do not see the lesser manifestation of that, and how to deal with it by the spirit.
When God puts that together, the psychologist with a deliverance worker, it is powerful. I understand that now. I think it is a growing thing, I think it is happening here, and even more so here. I hope it happens for the rest of the world because they really need it.
PASTOR VITALE: We have to be very careful not to misapply Scriptures. When the Lord said to you "Count it all joy. When XXX said "Count it all joy," it is not the same thing. You should have heard her screaming and yelling Monday night. Were you counting that joy? If I had come to you when you were screaming, crying, and yelling, and said to you "xxx, Count it all joy," what would have your reaction been? I would have hurt you, she would have fallen apart.
It is fine to say, "You are going to count it all joy when it is over," but when it is happening, the people that are in pain need to be comforted. When we go to someone who is in pain, and needs to be comforted, and we say to them "Count it all joy," they way that registers in their soul is condemnation. I see you do not understand what I said.
We are going to have a lot of people coming into this ministry here, and we cannot have them condemned. When somebody is in pain, whoever it is, and the ministry is "Count it all joy," that is condemnation to those people, and I cannot allow it here.
Every time I hear that said, you see we have an open meeting here, and everyone is free to say what they want, but whatever you say, say it knowing that if I perceive it to be incorrect, I am going to have to correct it. Anything that we say like that in front of these people that are here to learn, that is incorrect according to my thinking, I have to correct you. I am making that correction, that when someone is hurting, telling you about their pain, and in desperate need of ministry, to say to them "count it all joy," which is denying their pain is not acceptable in this ministry.
I would not rebuke you for what you just said to XXXX, "Count it all joy," because she is jubilant. We can apply one Scripture to someone when they are in one condition. When we are in the condition of needing comfort, that is not the Scripture to give them. They need compassion, mercy, and whatever the spirit gives them.
God is doing something unique when He is works with a lot of drug addicts, and people whose souls have been deeply damaged. That is what we have here, people whose souls have been deeply damaged. Do not let any one condemn you.
I had someone come to me not too long ago, and said to me, "What do you have here, a dysfunctional group?" No, we are not a dysfunctional group. We are a group of Christians that have been crying out to God for years, who have not found release from our pain through the ministry that is existing in the church age, that we have come out against.
In our life time, we have not found release from our problems from the anointing and the counselling that is in the average church in the church age, which is today. What is happening in this ministry, it is the beginning of the New Age of Christ. We have our toe in the water of the New Age of Christ. I see it happening somewhat over in Freeport. I am not really knowledgeable to what he is doing over there, I just know that God has been showing me that drug addicts need more than (inaudible) in the name of Jesus.
There are several ministries around that know that you need more than that. They minister to you, and give you a discipline program, and there is a form available. The knowledge in the church world has been for quite a while now, that the drug addicts and alcoholics need more than out in the name of Jesus. They need teaching, the usually need instruction. Very frequently, they are people who have never been taught how to relate to other people in this world.
The church world says, "Well, those are the drug addicts, and those are alcoholics, that is okay, but that is not for me. I am a respectable person, I am a married wife, I am a married husband. I have a normal family life, you are telling me that I am in this category of drug addicts, and alcoholics?" I want to tell you, brethren, that there is a group of people in the church whose souls are severely damaged.
They are frequently married, they have raised children, they have worked all their lives, they function in society. The difference between them and the rest of the church world is that there is a big gapping hole in their heart. They are in almost continuous pain. The other side of the coin are the people in the same condition that have found the will power within themselves to cover over that pain, and they are in denial. They are the same group of people on one side of the coin, and the other people on the other side of the coin.
Socially respectable people, but their souls are just as damaged or almost as damaged as the drug addict, or the alcoholic, or the sociopath in whatever way they are manifesting.
They are damaged. The measure of power of ministry in the church today has not helped them, or has helped them somewhat, or helped them a little bit. Their lives are still not in order, their children's lives are still not in order. Destruction is raging everywhere, and the church has condemned them.
The church has said, "You have been in the church , five, ten, fifteen, twenty years, why is your family still under destruction? You must be in sin." They cast you out because they do not know what to do with you. No one can tell me that this is a dysfunctional group here. It is a group where deep ministry is ministered, deeper than any other ministry that I know of.
There maybe others out there, God has not revealed them to me. The closest I have seen to it is in Freeport. To my understanding, he is basically dealing with drug addicts, and alcoholics. For some reason, I am seeing prostitutes. I have no first-hand knowledge that he is dealing with prostitutes, but that came to mind.
He is dealing largely in people whose life styles are socially unacceptable. The world and the church has no problem saying, "Yes, they really need help." What we are dealing with there is the Pharisees. If you are mad at me, you can tell me, but we are dealing with the Pharisees here. We are dealing with the people in the church who appear to be socially acceptable, but there is destruction all over their lives, all over their children, they are in great pain unless they have blotted out that pain with their denial.
They are frequently adult children of alcoholics. The world knows the adult children of alcoholics have a problem. There is a whole organization that helps them deal with them. Relatives of alcoholics, Al Anon, adult children of alcoholics. What have they found out? They have found out that people who have been alcoholics, drug addicts, or engaged in other compulsive or anti-social behavior, frequently produce children who do not engage in the same compulsive activity but have the same personality problems.
What the Lord has showed me recently is really amazing. He has shown me that there is a whole category of people who were raised in families, where either one or more of the parents go through radical personality changes. One minute they are loving, the next minute they are screaming, yelling, raging, and accusing. This is the same behavior that is found in alcoholic families, but in alcoholic families the personality does not change until the person starts to drink.
There is a whole category of families where there is no alcohol, the parents are performing the same behavior. No alcohol? Some emotional stimulant sets them off to go from a loving parent to a raging, accusing, condemning parent. Something sets them off, and they turn. It is not a factor that we take into our body, it is not a substance. It is an emotional reaction that is the same of that of an alcoholic.
This is a disorder that is raging in plague form across the nation. In some instances the anointing in the church helps, and in some instances is does not help. Why? Because every human being is an individual, and every human being is made up of a combination of variables that have produced you as you are today. Some people are more resistant to the ministry in the church than others. Did you ever hear of a more resistant virus?
They are talking about an new form of tuberculosis, a more resistant form of tuberculosis. It is a disease that is not responding to the established treatment. The established treatment cannot stop it. There is a category of people in the church today that the ministry available today cannot help, and the church condemns them. The church as a whole condemns them, and any individual that is manifesting their carnal mind condemns them.
Brethren, there is ministry in the carnal mind, there is ministry coming from the church out of the carnal mind. It helps a lot of people. There is counseling that comes out of the carnal mind that can help.
The world can help, psychologists can help, sociologists can help, doctors can help. What happens when you are ministering out of your carnal mind is that at any moment your carnal mind can just do whatever he wants and condemn that person. Jesus said we are not to condemn those that Christ died for. Who did Jesus die for? He died for the whole world, brethren. Condemnation is to be condemned.
We find a whole church world filled with very well-meaning people that want to help, but they do not know how. They do what they think is best, and almost always wind up condemning the person who has opened their heart to you, because you are members of the church, and they do not know where else to turn. They tell you their problems, they confess their sins to you, and a spirit of condemnation manifests to some one who is in their carnal mind. Jesus says when that has happened, you have killed that person.
I do not condemn anybody who is ministering condemnation, but I do condemn condemnation. I exhort everyone of you, I declare to everyone who is hearing this tape to put yourself before the Lord, and to ask Him to show it to you if you are ministering condemnation, and to help you to stop, because it is sin.
You can be some one who ministers and helps people continuously. You can be some one who casts out demons, you can be somebody who prays for the sick, and they get healed. At that given moment, if you are not constantly monitoring your carnal mind, that spirit of condemnation rises right up and kills that person, at Satan's will.
This is what is happening in the church today. In the New Age of Christ it is not acceptable. In the church age it is called an abuse of deliverance. If it happens you go to the pastor, and tell him that so-and-so prayed for me, and condemned me, then he deals with it. You have to forgive the people. Why? Because they are not perfect. As we enter into the New Age of Christ, where we are not ministering out of our carnal mind, but where we are ministering out of Christ, this is not acceptable.
What does God require of us? He requires us to start monitoring everything we say and every thought we think. Ask Him if it is not a spirit of condemnation, whether it is or it is not. Either it is out of Christ, or it is out of the carnal mind. There is no opinion involved, brethren. There is no opinion. It is either Christ...if it is Christ it cannot be condemnation. Or if it is out of the carnal mind, and you condemn the person, you must confess it and ask God to help you to stop.
There is this spirit in the church that says, "I will pray for you once, and if you are still afflicted , there is something wrong with you, out" I want to tell you, brethren, the ministers that are being raised up for the New Age, which is everybody here, you cannot do it. You have got to stop doing it. There are people out there, there is a whole category of people who are without help. The church cannot help them. Alcoholics, drug addicts, sex addicts, whatever they are.
They flow in and out of the church. No help for them. A group gets help, they stand up, and that group is more condemning than... the more troubled people that are now standing, typically are more condemning towards the people who cannot make it, than the people that never had that problem. They are saying, "Well, I made it, how come you did not? I am a wheat, and you are a tare." This is the mentality of the church today.
I will not condemn you, I am here to let who ever is listening to the tape know that this is what is happening, and that it is no longer acceptable to the Lord Jesus Christ.
He wants us to have our hearts converted so that we can minister out of love, mercy, compassion, and labor with the people. We had it in the message last night, to forbear, or bear with the people. To go through their infirmity with them a step at a time until they break through. We are never to dismiss anybody, because when we do that, it is a spirit of pride, that is saying, "I have done all I could do, and you are still troubled, I do not want anyone to know that I could not help you."
Whether it is conscious or unconscious, that is what it is. I know because I have experienced it, I have experienced being afraid to pray for somebody, because what if they did not get healed? What he was preaching, that was me, I was cracking up because I went though that whole thing. I heard a man preaching this not too long ago. I have experienced being afraid of trying to cast a demon out, because what if the demon did not come out? I went through the whole phasing of the Lord where He said to me, "Look at your pride, it is a stench in my nose. You do all that you can do, then I will do what I do, and what I do is none of your business."
You pray, you pray healing, you pray deliverance, and if they do not get delivered or if they do not heal, you bear with them. If they come up on your prayer line at every service for a year, you pray for them. There is a line. If they are manifesting an ungodly spirit that is trying to posses you, you have to deal with that. We are not talking about that.
There is condemnation in the church today that says if you are having all these problems there must be something wrong with you. There is an attitude in the church today that is saying, "You must be able to control it, why do you not walk away from it? Why do you not refuse it?" Brethren, when someone is sticking a knife in your back, you cannot always refuse it. The answer to that is that you must get stronger in Christ. No one has the strength to get stronger in Christ, we wait for the increase.
None of the afflictions that I went through could have happened to Jesus, because He was a spiritual mature man, which obviously I am not. If a ten year old is strangling your two year old, do you say to your two year old, "Do you think you should walk away from it?"
Brethren, if you walk down the street, I do not mean to hurt anybody's feelings, I am telling you the truth, I am a rough preacher. I have got a tough message, I will tell you the truth every time, and I will never be against you personally, I am not.
If you walk down the street, and you see a muscle bound wrestler strangling an average man. Do you say to the average man, "Why do you not walk away?" It is a question of strength.
Those of us who are carnal-minded stumble when it comes to the spirit, because we do not understand that some people are stronger in the spirit, than others.
Those that are weaker who are being strangled by someone who is stronger in the spirit cannot always walk away, some times they need a lot of help. Sometimes we need help continuously. For any minister to make a decision that you have been prayed for enough for is a manifestation of pride. Only Jesus can say that.
The ministry that the Lord is bringing forth here is the ministry to people who have been in the church world for a long time. This is a ministry for mature believers that have been in the church for a long time. They have given their all to God, but their carnal minds are still ruling in their lives, frequently, not always, frequently, because they have wrong thinking in their mind.
Wrong thinking in your mind is a manifestation of a curse. All this talk about being cursed, what is a curse? How does it work? Curses...there are different kinds of curses, but what we are dealing with here is basically family line curses which go from generation to generation, in the form of wrong thinking. Wrong thinking that makes us make wrong decisions, that makes us make wrong judgments, that perpetuate the same kind of trouble in our life that the past four or five generations have had.
There is no way you are going to lay your hands on some one with that problem, and say, "I break you in the name of Jesus," There is no way you are going to lay hands on some one with that problem, and say, "Out in the name of Jesus," and it is going to be all over.
These people need to be re-educated. They need to have their wrong thinking pointed out to them. If they receive the correction, it is fine to be gentle. If they have a stubborn spirit, they must be rebuked. The wrong thinking must be pointed out to them, and then you work with them, bear with them, you suffer long with them as they resist and try to make changes. Every time they manifest an error in their thinking or their behavior, you tell them with the love of Christ and work with them.
It is ministry that comes forth with the discernment and instruction of the Lord. That is what God is doing here. It is a miracle what God is doing here. I do not know whether you know it or not, but people in the world go to psychiatrists and pay thousands and thousands of dollars, to go... to put it quite frankly, I am not knocking these people, but they are emotionally uninvolved. People who are emotionally uninvolved with their life, who are cold, sit there with their watch, and say, "Your 45 minutes are up." No matter what you feel, you get up another fifty or a hundred dollar, if they will give you the time.
I tell you the truth. Aside from these restrictions on their ministry to you, they are without the discernment of the spirit. They are following a prescribed course of ministry, which is directed by the carnal teaching that he was trained up in. What God is doing here is giving His ministry by word of knowledge, that is what He is doing here. It is the New Age of Christ, it is the thing to come.
As everybody here gets trained up, He will bring in more people. Each of you will have your own disciples to work with, then you can talk to me if you have a question or if you need instruction, if you need counsel. You are all in training to do the same thing I am doing here.
I do not think this was a message, it was an exhortation. The bottom line is this we must stop ministering out of our carnal mind. We cannot say that you see it differently than I meant it, it cannot be. It has to be the mind of Christ to bringing forth the ministry. It has got to be. I just pray that the Lord ministers to you, because if there is a spirit of condemnation coming forth we cannot say, "I did not mean it that way."
Either it is, or it is not. Either I am right, or you are right. Only one of us is right. Not that it is a question of who is right, but that if it is true there has to be a correction there. God wants you to minister out of Christ. He has great things for you, you are a faithful, anointed woman of God. I know that it has been on your mind that you did not know, you were not sure whether or not you conceived Christ, I hope it blesses you for me to tell you that I had a dream about you.
In the dream you were holding the hand of a little boy about seven years old. What that means to me is that you most certainly have conceived Him, and that He is not an infant anymore. You have a powerful ministry to God's people. He wants to increase it, He wants to give you double portion. A triple portion. You are a powerful minister of Christ. He has great things for you, but if there is some carnality there, and He wants to root it out. There is some denial there, He wants to root it out.
It is important that you understand what is coming out of your mouth. Great things for you. There is some carnality there, and it has got to go, and it is very thick on you mind. I see Him there with an ice pick.
Just for the record, it was a spirit of condemnation that came forth from you. The point is that you did it, that spirit came out of you, and God has to show it to you. If it is there, He has got to show it to you. That happens all the time to carnal people, things manifest through them. They do not know what they are doing.
It is not a question of my misunderstanding it, it was a question of whether it was a spirit of condemnation or it was not. If it is a spirit of condemnation, then God wants to work on it. It has to be dealt with. It is not enough to say, "I am not aware of it."

What Is The Difference Between Prime, Choice or Select Grades of Beef?
January 2, 2015 | Joe Gorgone
The Basics of USDA Beef Quality Grades
Chances are you've heard the terms Prime, Choice or Select when referring to cuts of beef. Maybe you've even noticed the grading shields on packages of beef you bought at the grocery story. But, do you know the difference between the 3? It can definitely be confusing so here's a quick guide to help you learn the difference.
Beef is graded into either Select, Choice or Prime with the latter being the highest of quality. Graders look at 2 main things: quality grades for tenderness, juiciness and flavor; and yield grades for the amount of usable lean meat on the carcass.
There are 3 main grades given by the USDA to Beef from the that is considered for consumption (taken from Wikipedia):
- U.S. Prime – Highest in quality and intramuscular fat, limited supply. Currently, about 2.9{ac6e72b93aea1d4d9fc638073263449a51587c3353b2bb23f0a1180fb3daf6fc} of carcasses grade as Prime.
- U.S. Choice – High quality, widely available in foodservice industry and retail markets. Choice carcasses are 53.7{ac6e72b93aea1d4d9fc638073263449a51587c3353b2bb23f0a1180fb3daf6fc} of the fed cattle total. The difference between Choice and Prime is largely due to the fat content in the beef. Prime typically has a higher fat content (more and well distributed intramuscular "marbling") than Choice.
- U.S. Select (formerly Good) – lowest grade commonly sold at retail, acceptable quality, but is less juicy and tender due to leanness.
All Certified Angus Beef®, by example, is graded Prime or Choice only. As an example, The One Percenter is 100{ac6e72b93aea1d4d9fc638073263449a51587c3353b2bb23f0a1180fb3daf6fc} CAB USDA Prime and will guarantee you and extra juicy burger.

I like to do it myself, but I like being able to do it myself, even more.
We had homemade pizza for our dinner on Sunday. When I went to the pantry cupboard there was no tomato sauce. Around here tomato sauce is usually purchased as part of a recipe that is planned for, except for that lone can in wait for "those times" and apparently I had already used it! Not wanting to go back to the store a third time (yes twice, short story, I forgot the pizza cheese on the supplies list, for Pete's sake!), I improvised.
And as luck would have it, this turned out delicious and is now our preferred pizza sauce. It is worth the little bit of extra time, and the bonus? I always have cans of diced tomatoes, I could not get along without them. This sauce is flavorful with just the right touch of tomato goodness.

Terrible start, Fantastic finish as D.C. United top Philadelphia at RFK
Washington, D.C., July 26, 2015 – The bad news – United has waited over a month to play a home game and they fell behind the Philadelphia Union 2-0 inside of four minutes. The good news – there were still eighty-six minutes to go and United used every one of them to their advantage in a stunning 3-2 come-from-behind win at sticky RFK Stadium this afternoon.
Alvaro Saborio, above (Phot0: Martin Fernandez), marked his debut with United with the opening goal of the comeback and Nick DeLeon ended it with his first goal in MLS in over a year as a season-high 19,125 fans were put through the emotional ringer once again. The victory for United (11-7-5, 38 points) pushed their lead in the Eastern Conference to seven points over second place Columbus. It was also the sixth time this season that the Black-and-Red had won after conceding the opening goal of the game. Even more mind blowing than that is that United has only led at halftime of 3 of 22 games this season.
While United will ultimately take a deep breath and enjoy the win, things started out in horrific fashion as defensive lapses led directly to both of the Union's opening goals. In just the first ten seconds of the match, right back Chris Korb sent a lazy pass that was easily intercepted and eventually channeled to C.J. Sapong just inside the penalty area. Sapong easily brushed off Steve Birnbaum and surprisingly found himself at the penalty spot all alone and beat Andrew Dykstra to his right for a 1-0 lead.
With RFK still reeling from the early deficit, the Union doubled their lead to the disbelief of everyone on and off the field. Chaco Maidana sent a harmless ball to Sebastien Le Toux on United's right flank. Korb gave the Frenchman a bit too much room as he centered a ball into the heart of the goalmouth. Somehow the ball managed to elude both Sapong and Birnbaum and sleepily tucked into the far post netting for an unthinkable 2-0 lead just four minutes into the game.
Although United were understandably rocked, they soon regained their composure enough to start threatening the Union goal. United got their best opportunity midway through the half when Saborio's give-and-go with Davy Arnaud ended up with Arnaud being chopped down in the penalty area. Fabian Espindola stepped up to take the PK despite the fact that Chris Rolfe had converted his last two spot kicks. Almost predictably, Espindola sent his shot well over the crossbar to further deflate the crowd.
All was not lost however as Saborio cut the deficit in half in the 37th minute when his volleyed shot from a Korb cross beat Union goalkeeper Brian Slyvestre just inside the near post. Buoyed by that goal United took over the match after the break and it seemed like only a matter of time until they nabbed the equalizer. With the Union pinned down in their own end, United created a number of chances to equalize but were coming just a bit short.
That all changed in the 66th minute when a mountain-sized gorilla was finally lifted off the back of Nick DeLeon. It had been over a year since NDL scored on July 4th of last year and today's goal couldn't have come at a better time. Espindola, who had been wreaking havoc on the left flank all half long, made a rare foray into the center of the field and found himself on the ball outside the top of the penalty area. Espindola juked and jived his way into some space to unleash his patented left-footed blast. Slyvestre could only parry the ball away a few feet and that is all DeLeon needed as he slipped the rebound under Sylvestre to level the match at 2-2.
And as has been the case five times at RFK alone this season, United completed the comeback in the 79th minute when Espindola headed down a beautiful cross from Korb for the game-winner. Just seconds earlier, the Union were inches away from taking the lead when Sapong beat Dykstra to a loose ball in the box and his chipped attempt crashed down off the crossbar to set up the sequence that saw United to another head-scratching win.
After that emotional and physical roller coaster ride, United will welcome in Saborio's old team Real Salt Lake into town next Saturday night at RFK Stadium.

This week's Monday Magick entry comes from one of the biggest influences upon my own journey into the so-called "occult", Brooklyn, New York Hip-Hop collective XCLAN. The group was founded in the late '80s by Lumumba "Professor X, The Overseer" Carson (son of notable political activist Sonny Carson and a community organizer in his own right) and Paradise "The Architect" Grey (promoter at the legendary Latin Quarter nightclub and, alongside Carson, erstwhile talent manager), with "verbalizer" Jason "Brother J" Hunter, and DJ/producer Anthony "Sugar Shaft" Hardin rounding out the lineup. They released their most powerful works, 1990's 'To the East, Blackwards' and 1992's 'Xodus', during the tail-end of Hip-Hop's "golden age".
Though possibly most widely known for feuds with Boogie Down Productions frontman KRS-One, and former protégés 3rd Bass, their striking physical presence & stylized image, and their leadership of the Blackwatch political movement, the group's lyrical content was incredible in its breadth and scope. Unlike similar acts, XCLAN's lead emcee Brother J wasn't just a "philosopher" or "teacher", a political firebrand, a Black Muslim, or a 5%er, he was a Black Nationalist, and a mystic. His verses dug fantastically deep into subjects like Egyptology, Voudoun, Freemasonry, chaos, metaphysics, and more, all backed by some of the most innovative and forward-thinking cut-n-paste style production heard during the era. And while the group's very concept was inextricably Afrocentric, the references and vernacular that their music was so steeped in could lead anyone curious enough to learn more in the direction of any number of disciplines, which for someone like me included the "dark paths" of the occult and magick. The brothers in XCLAN weren't just musicians, or political activists, they were Shaman, and they certainly helped alter my mindstate enough that it ultimately proved open enough to accept initiation and illumination.
I reported some years ago here on Imageyenation about the untimely passing of Professor X, who lost his life to complications related to spinal meningitis in 2006. He joined Sugar Shaft, who passed due to the the AIDS virus in 1995. Paradise remains a respected figure within the Hip-Hop community who frequently shares his knowledge and memories via the internet. Meanwhile, Brother J still carries the XCLAN flag and has released several projects featuring different lineups of a new millennium XCLAN.
Music is magick.

Wastwater, Wasdale, Lake District
Wastwater is the Lake District at its best. It's England's deepest lake at 258 feet and lies in the Wasdale valley to the west of the National Park. It is easy to see why the view from the souther-western end of the lake was announced as the winner of "Britain's Favourite View" in 2007. Wastwater is perhaps the most awe-inspiring of all the lakes. Surrounded by the mountains of Red Pike, Kirk Fell, Great Gable and Scafell Pike - England's highest mountain.
Extending the length of the south-east side of the lake are the steep slopes of Whin Rigg and Illgill Head, on which are the "Wastwater Screes". These screes formed as a result of ice and weathering erosion on the rocks of the Borrowdale Volcanic Group, that form the fells to the east of the lake, towards Eskdale. Rising almost 200ft from the inky black water of Wastwater, the screes give the lake an ominous appearance.
From a photographers perspective the views are magnificent. There is an almost infinite number of view points, so exploration is key. The slopes of the epic peaks such as Scafell Pike, Yewbarrow and Great Cable change with the seasons; boasting snow in the winter and lush greenery in the summer. The light changes all the time, whilst on a still day the water is like a mirror reflecting the beauty of the mountains all around.
Wastwater has a genuine wildness about it. It is a beautiful spot, and benefits from its remoteness (although at times busy due to its popularity with walkers). The Wasdale Inn about half a mile past Wastwater is a nice place for a good drink and some food. There is a path along the southern shore, which hugs the steep cliffs below the Screes. I haven't ventured along it but it might be worth it.
The usual precautions apply - weather can change extremely quickly, so always come prepared!

E-commerce market may cross $50 bn mark in 2018: Study
E-commerce sector rides on Digital India, note ban (2017 in Retrospect)
The growing charm of online shopping fests (Business Feature)
Prabhu assures national policy for retail trade: CAIT
MRP, other details must for items sold online from today
The digital commerce market in India is expected to cross $50 billion mark by the end of 2018 on the back of growing Internet population and increased online shoppers from the current level of $ 38.5 billion, reveals the ASSOCHAM- Deloitte joint study.
The digital commerce market in India has grown steadily from $19.7 billion in 2015 to $13.6 billion in 2014. Devices like smartphones, tablets and technologies like 3G, 4G, Wi-Fi and high speed broadband is helping to increase the number of online customers. Banks and other players in e-commerce ecosystem are providing a secured online platform to pay effortlessly via payments gateways.
Increasing mobile and internet penetration, m-commerce sales, advanced shipping and payment options, exciting discounts, and the push into new international markets by e-businesses are the major drivers of this unprecedented growth, noted the joint study.
The browsing trends, which have broadly shifted from the desktop to mobile devices in India, online shopping is also expected to follow suit, as one out of three customers currently makes transactions through mobiles in Tier-1 and Tier-2 cities. In 2017, 82 per cent of shopping queries were made through mobile devices, compared to 76 per cent in 2016, adds the joint study.
According to the paper, in 2017, the highest growth rate was seen in the apparel segment almost 72 per cent over last year, followed by food items by 65 percent, electronic items at 63 per cent, beauty and personal care products at 52 per cent and home furnishings at 49 per cent.
As per the ASSOCHAM findings many small companies have also established online stores for group buying, which enable customers to obtain goods at a discount so long as a certain number of people make the purchases. The shopping centers, whole sale markets and supermarkets should create their online stores to reduce costs and develop product-tracking systems.
The survey highlights that 28% of regular shoppers are in 18-25 age group whereas 42% in 26-35, 28% in 36-45 and 2% in the age group of 45-60. 65% of Online Shoppers are male as against 35% female.
The products that are highest sold in 2017 are mobile phones, apparel, food items and jewellery, among others, points out the paper.
As per the ASSOCHAM study, there would be more than a seven to ten fold increase in revenue generated through e-commerce as compared to last year with all branded apparel, accessories, jewellery, gifts, footwear are available at a cheaper rates and delivered at the doorstep.
E-commerce companies have been able to bridge the service gap considerably by sending service updates and other communication via their mobile app, e-mail, and SMS, adds the joint study.
Customers can get alerts, view product catalogues, purchase and pay with a simple mobile application offering a compelling user experience.
Also, from mobile usage, the e-tailers get valuable customer information which can be used for analytics to improve their services and sales.
The greater adoption of Internet and smartphones is the biggest driver of e-commerce in India. The smartphone is steadily growing and consists of 55% of the overall mobile phones market in the country. The success rate of some of the technologies is directly connected to the success of e-commerce.
The world is moving from cash to digital money and thus there is a need of payment gateway for sustainable future e-commerce. The Indian e-commerce sector is heavily dependent on Cash on Delivery (CoD) mode of payment as it is the most preferred choice for Indian consumers due to lack of trust in online transactions, limited adoption of credit/ debit cards, and security concerns among others. More than 50% of online transactions are done on cash on delivery method and it is available across 600 cities and towns of India.

Question: What happens when a professor of accounting and a professor of pastoral theology get together? Answer: They write a two-part book about money and the church, and this is exactly what Janet and Philip Jamieson have done. Part one of their book discusses a theology of money, and part two applies that theology in a practical way to the life of the church. Part one includes a biblical and historical review of the relationship between money and the church that leads to a theology of money. Part two includes the basics of accounting, understanding financial reports, constructing budgets, and the benefits of financial transparency. Charts, examples, "management tips," exercises, and discussion questions are sprinkled throughout the book. Congregations and leaders from a variety of Christian traditions will find the integration of theology and the practical application of that theology particularly helpful.

Discover magazine (one of my non-Herb Companion faves) features a magnified (by a scanning electron microscope) image of a strawberry (Fragaria spp.). Check it out; it's really cool.
The make-up of the fruit is clearly visible, with the seeds looking like boulders in a red sea. Plus, they give a great tip for teeth whitening, which works because of the fruit's malic acid. (Mix crushed strawberries with baking soda.)

My grandmother is beginning to use a computer soon. We are giving her a chromebook so that it will be easier to keep the settings right, and not get lost.
However, for support purposes, and helping set up new things like bookmarks, plugins, and so forth, we want to set up remote control of the chromebook. It is not necessary for her to approve each remote control session.
We do have physical access to the machine before we deliver it to her. This will give us an opportunity to make any changes necessary to allow this.
I am a competent software developer, and can work with Linux, but have never worked under the hood of a chromebook before. What would be necessary to accomplish this remote access?

Oregon timber veterans wrestle with state land use law to stay in business
Logs rejected from larger mills because of imperfections wait to be turned into firewood at Chuck Vance's property near Sandy.
(Molly Harbarger/The Oregonian)
It's just another manic Monday, Clackamas County. Just kidding, I have the day off today.
When I get back Tuesday, though, there's a lot of news in store this week.
1. The commissioners will soon vote on whether to approve a controversial timber sale, so they are discussing it in a study session Tuesday afternoon.
The timber sale is 180 acres in the Mount Hood villages area. Those sales are often controversial. The county-owned timber trees in this area are about 50 years past the time the county tries to harvest.
The one of the most recent timber harvests sold for enough money to pay off the county's debt on the Stonecreek Golf Course.
Read about that now, and look for an explanation of this recent situation Tuesday: Timber sale to pay off Clackamas County's Stone Creek Golf Course ahead of schedule
2. It's that time of year again -- the state of the county update!
In the past, the update has been in a forum-style setup. This year, though, Chairman John Ludlow will deliver a report Thursday evening on the county commissioners' successes in the past year and plans for the new year.
After that, they will play a video and move on with the business meeting.
3. Speaking of the business meeting, it's at 6 p.m. Thursday.
Once a month, the meeting is held in the evening, instead of 10 a.m. Thursdays. Everyone is welcome to attend in the fourth floor hearing room of the Public Services Building at 2051 Kaen Road in Oregon City.
You also watch it on the government channel, or from bed with your laptop by streaming is at www.clackamas.us/cable/streaming.html.

Techné Merlin 245
02 Jun
Techné Watches have recently released their brand new reference, the new Techné Merlin 245. For those of you familiar with the Techné lineup you will have noticed the similarities with the existing 249 Merlin.
The new Techné Merlin 245 watch is indeed very similar, however it features a couple of small modifications. First of all the original Seiko VD78 calibre has been swapped for a Miyota 1L45. Secondly and certainly more noticeable is the new case. At 39.5mm in diameter and 11.5mm in thickness the case is 1.5mm larger and thicker than the 249 reference adding a more robust appearance
The new Techné Merlin 245 and many other mens watches and ladies watches is available exclusively in the UK from YouniqYou.com

Snoop Dogg Debuts New Gospel Album
Rap 'Gangsta' Snoop Dogg Debuts New Gospel AlbumShare
Famed rapper and music producer Snoop Dogg is stepping away from his usual rhymes to release his first gospel album called "Snoop Dogg: Bible of Love."
The album includes gospel and R&B heavy-hitters like Tye Tribett, the Clark Sisters, Faith Evans, and Rance Allen.
Snoop Dogg says the gospel album is something he's been wanting to do for a while.
"It's always been on my heart. I just never got around to it because I always be doing 'gangsta' business or doing this or doing that," he said during an interview with Beats 1 Radio. "I just felt like it's been on my heart too long. I need to do it now."
Snoop Dogg isn't only including seasoned gospel veterans on the album – his own mother is featured too. In fact, his mother, Beverly Tate, is an evangelist.
Snoop Dogg posted a screen shot of a text conversation he had with his mother on Instagram in which he thanks her for "showing me how to live and to spread the word."
"I am so grateful to the Lord for you and how God is moving you in the direction to bless His people through the Word of God what a better way through you doing a Gospel album," she wrote back. Snoop Dogg debuted the new album during a concert Thursday night at Bethel University.
According to the Bethel University Clarion, the school's campus ministries dean Laurel Bunker says Bethel is the "host site, not the sponsor" of the event.

Midem 2015 Day 2 Wrap: "Engagement is more important than numbers"june 2015
Midem day 2 began with a lavish breakfast featuring music industry royalty in the shape of Chairman and CEO of Epic Records, LA Reid and the former Chief Marketing Officer of Global Consumer Engagement at PepsiCo,Frank Cooper III, who appeared days after revealing he's joining BuzzFeed as Chief Marketing and Content Officer.
The two execs discussed the relationship between artists and brands after announcing the 14 finalists (whittled down from 472 submissions) of theMidem 2015 Artist Accelerator Programme, in partnership with Pepsi and Deezer.
Reid recalled the early days in the careers of Outkast and Toni Braxton, whose popularity spread by word of mouth. Brands and platforms can't "celebrate the thing that makes artists special", he said, and while there are more opportunities to break artists than ever before, there's nothing more important than "the hustle," he added. "Engagement is more important than numbers. Once you have the following, it's about what you do with it".
When asked why brand partnerships go wrong by host Kate Thornton, Reid and Cooper recalled U2's deal with Apple that saw their new album being given away to millions of people for free last year (that frontman Bono has since admitted was "megalomania").
"I think sometimes we, the record industry, particularly artists of that stature, think that big is better," said Reid. "The fans that have supported U2 for all those years feel a special relationship with U2 and that singular move took that away. Sometimes we think that brands or platforms give us a better way to reach everybody, when in fact we don't want to reach everybody.
"How I feel as a fan, as a consumer, is treat me special, make me feel like my relationship with you is a special relationship. It's not free and it's not for everybody. Be careful with the more is more; less is more."
Later in the day, explaining what convergence (the theme of Midem), means to them were Lovepump United Records' Jake Friedman, Downtown Music's Josh Deutsch and Because Music's Emmanuel De Buretel.
The panel agreed that convergence is all about diversifying as labels, publishers and promoters, and creating a conversion between different businesses. For De Buretel, the music industry in future will see independent and major companies working together to break new acts and learning how to reach new markets worldwide.
"Independent companies don't have back catalogue to live on, we have to break artists every two-three months," he explained. "It's like sports, we have been trained to break, and develop, and in the future we'll have the tools to broadcast all around the world.
"It will be good for the three major labels to understand that they can't swallow each other, so they have to work with the independents now, and in a fair way."
Martin Varsavsky, founder of wi-fi service provider Fon, then proposed his vision for the future of the living room with the Gramofon – a "simple gadget that turns any sound system into a music player".
The small black box turns any kind of sound systems (even really old school ones) into a cloud music player, so listeners can stream music from services like Spotify, Napster and WiMP through high-quality players.
Launched two weeks ago after a successful Kickstarter campaign, it acts as a wi-fi booster too, and continues to play music after the user has turned off their phone or taken it elsewhere.
Vivendi CEO Arnaud de Puyfontaine has spent the past few months reiterating his firm's commitment to Universal Music Group after shareholders asked for the record label to be sold, and his speech at Midem was no different.
In fact, UMG is a big part of de Puyfontaine's vision for the future that's about growing streaming subscription, capitalising on the potential of new territories (like Africa) and finding the Sam Smiths and Aloe Blaccs of tomorrow.
"Music is like this sleeping beauty that needs a charming prince to create a wonderful new family," said Puyfontaine when asked about what the future of the music industry would be beyond streaming. "Music is something everyone in the world shares, it creates emotion. In this new era, there will be platforms, opportunities and expertise [that create the] right formula to start this amazing story."

Flood decimates parts of Calgary's beloved pathway system
Washed-out asphalt, layers of mud and silt, piles of debris — Calgary's beloved pathway system is suffering from the flood of 2013 as much as the rest of the city.
As flood waters recede, the true picture of damage to the pathways is revealed. I was out on a bike today, checking out how well the pathway system fared. While parts of the network look to have held up well against the onslaught of water from the Bow and Elbow rivers, others have been destroyed. The damage raises troubling questions about the future of a network is beloved by walkers and heavily used by bicycle commuters.
The damage is difficult to take and hard to fathom. While bicycles have taken over the past few days as the primary means of transportation in flood-damaged areas, because of restrictions on the movement of cars and trucks, the damage is sure to make life tough for many Calgary cyclists in the long run.
In the short term, many parts of the river pathway system remain dangerous. Bruce Burrell, director of the Calgary Emergency Management Agency, warned people Monday to stay away because river flows remain high.
"All parks and pathways next to the Bow and Elbow Rivers remain closed," Burrell said Monday. Paths near Nose Creek area also closed. ""Parks is mobilizing teams this morning to assess and clean up parks and pathways next to the river. We'll be reopening parks and pathways as soon as they're assessed as safe. People should not access parks and pathways until it is deemed safe to do so."
Later in the day, the City of Calgary warned cyclists to stay off marked areas.
Despite the warnings, on Monday many people were using the pathways in areas that had survived the flooding.
Here's a bit of what I saw today.
At Sandy Beach, a valley between Altadore and Britannia, much of the pathway remains underwater. The stakes in this photo show how far the water has receded, but much of the pathway is still buried.
What's worse, the lovely old suspension pedestrian bridge at Sandy Beach has been destroyed, along with several other similar foot bridges, beloved for their wobbliness, downstream.
The most popular paths, those along the Bow River near downtown, fared better, though they remain closed. The recently completed Poppy Plaza at Memorial Drive and 10th Street S.W. was flooded, but it looks as if the pathways may survive, even though they are still under water.
At Eau Claire, areas that were underwater only hours before were clear and clean, and host to dozens of joggers and cyclists. There were some areas in which mud was piled high, but work crews seemed to be making short work of them.
Much of the pathway on both sides of the Bow downtown looked intact behind yellow police tape. Areas that had been rebuilt after damage from the 2005 flood looked to have survived being washed away again. Nearly every pathway underpass around the core, however, was still underwater, many submerged by dangerously fast waters.
Outside of the core, damage was extensive. In Erlton, where the streets are filled with mud and bustling with exhausted-looking homeowners in rubber boots reclaiming their property, the pathways into, and around, Lindsay Park remain strewn with silt and debris. Parts of the pathway near Stampede Park have been washed away.
The heavily used pathways along Elbow Drive and through Stanley Park were accessible on Monday, and despite Burrell's warnings were filled with people. They were also filled with mud and debris in some places, but they look well on their way to recovery.
Perhaps the area of pathway system hardest hit is Inglewood. Pathways to and from Fort Calgary are covered with water and silt.
Worse, the pathway south from Pearce Estate Park, a major bike commuter route for those heading downtown from the city's southern suburbs, was not only filled with water in some places, but decimated in others. Major sections have dropped into the Bow.
Despite all the destruction, it was heartening to see so many cyclists out on Monday. Groups of cyclists slowly made their way around the pathway network, stopping to gauge their damage. On Twitter, cyclists shared information about accessible routes to work. While pathways are often seen as little more than a nice recreational amenity in the city, they do elicit strong emotions from Calgarians who see them as a their own. As more commuters take to bicycles, they are also an increasingly crucial part of the city's transportation network.
How will this change cycling in the city? In the long term, it's tough to say. The gaps blown into the system by the flood will no doubt post serious challenges for commuters and recreationalists. Fixing them will be long and expensive, especially with so much other work that will most likely take priority.
In the short term, if today's ride was any indication, perhaps it's best stick to the roads. People seem to have a new appreciation for bikes these days, even when they are in a car, and the lighter traffic, especially downtown, made for some rather unique cycling on empty urban streets. Perhaps that can be our silver lining, no matter how tarnished.
Some Calgary cyclists have started building a map to earn each other about inaccessible routes. I plan to add to it, and you can too. You can see it below, and click here to make your own contributions.

text: BUSINESS 'Walk' takes top prize at IDA awards 4:00 AM PST 12/9/2007 by Carolyn Giardina , AP FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Empty "A Walk to Beautiful" ran away with the prize in the feature category at the 2007 International Documentary Association Distinguished Documentary Achievement Awards gala benefit Friday at the DGA Theatre.The ceremony included many powerful messages, including one from a Hurricane Katrina survivor. And despite a back injury that prevented him from attending in person, Michael Moore delivered an enthusiastically received IDA Career Achievement Award acceptance message calling for efforts to have documentaries embraced by exhibitors."Walk" topped a field of nominees that included "Crazy Love," "Operation Homecoming: Writing the Wartime Experience," "Sicko," and "Taxi to the Dark Side."The film, from director-producer Mary Olive Smith and executive producer Steve Engel, focuses on five courageous women in Ethiopia who have suffered from devastating childbirth injuries and have been shunned by their family and villages. The film follows the trials they endure and their attempts to rebuild their lives."A Son's Sacrifice," from director Yoni Brook, producer Musa Sheed and executive producer Marco Williams, won the short documentary category. The film follows the journey of a young American Muslim who confronts his roots. The inaugural Alan Ett Music Documentary Award for exemplary creative use of music was presented to "We Aare Together (Thina Simunye)," from director-producer Paul Taylor and producer Teddy Leifer.Moore's sisters accepted his award, and one read a letter from the filmmaker. "All we have heard lately is how studios and distributors can't make money releasing documentaries in theaters," the letter read. "Why some of them can't get a distributor or even if they have a distributor can't find an audience is a riddle that must be solved because American audiences are missing out on some outstanding movies."Moore went on to relate that the previous day, "Enchanted" was the No. 1 movie at the boxoffice, followed by "Fred Claus," which averaged $90 per screen; and "Bee Movie," which averaged $64 per screen."I'm going to offer (exhibitors) a chance to make more than $64 per screen -- by showing nonfiction films," his message read. "I won't be satisfied until I see nonfiction film treated with the same respect as a cartoon about bees or a biopic on Santa Claus' brother."Previously announced honorees included Ken Burns' longtime collaborator Buddy Squires, who received the outstanding documentary cinematography award; CNN's Christiane Amanpour, who received the Courage Under Fire Award; Jocelyn Shearer, who accepted the preservation and scholarship award on behalf of National Geographic Digital Motion, and "Darfur Now" director Ted Braun, who earned the Jacqueline Donnet Emerging Documentary Filmmaker Award. Showtime's "This American Life" was honored for a continuing series; PBS' "The Supreme Court" was named for a limited series, "Sputnik Mania" earned the ABC News VideoSource Award, and Erin Hudson received the David L. Wolper Student Documentary Award for "Long Haul."Hurricane Katrina survivor Phyllis Montana LeBlanc accepted the Pare Lorentz Award on behalf of producer-director Spike Lee and producer Sam Pollard for "When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts." She praised the courage of the filmmaker, describing the award as "a symbol of achievement in honor of a man who choose to smack the hell out of man's inhumanity to man."This story is not over, it is not finished," she said. "My only question for the wonderful faces that I stand before me this evening is, when I go home tonight, will you remember my face? Will you remember New Orleans and the people that are still suffering and in need of your help today?"

We got introduced to this agency through our mortgage lender. Kay has worked so hard for us since our first house... mortgage. Just recently we had to renew our homeowner's insurance and she went to bat for us again. She found us a big cost savings if we bundled our auto and homeowner's Insurance. Our auto was cut in half and we were amazed with how much we were saving monthly. Thank you Kay and your staff. Look forward to many more years to come. RHONDA AND DAVID FINLEYread more

My previous homeowner insurance gave me grief so I went looking elsewhere. Was dealing with a tentative deadline and... Cordell Insurance was able to meet all of my needs and find affordable and full coverage. When I had issues with my loan company and documentation, the staff at Cordell was pleasant, prompt, and efficient with resolving what they could and providing me with next steps. So far I feel supported with this company.read more

The swine flu continues to spread slowly but surely, with 114 confirmed cases in 12 states on Thursday, up from 91 in 10 states on Wednesday. Many more states have suspected cases, and 11 countries have been affected so far.
But little else seems sure about the disease, including how bad it will turn out to be and even its name, now officially influenza A(H1N1), according to the World Health Organization.
"This is a rapidly evolving situation," said Dr. Richard Besser, acting director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "It is a situation filled with uncertainty."
Dr. Besser praised a decision by the W.H.O. on Wednesday to raise the global alert level to Phase 5, one step below a pandemic. He said the move would not affect the United States, which is already taking measures against the outbreak, but would alert other countries to get pandemic plans in order. On Thursday, officials of the health organization said Phase 5, which means a pandemic is highly likely, was still the appropriate level.
In this country, hundreds of schools have closed, including Fort Worth's entire school district of about 80,000 students. Texas has 26 confirmed cases.
On Thursday, the White House disclosed that a member of the Obama administration delegation that traveled to Mexico in mid-April probably contracted the disease. The man had flu symptoms when he returned to Washington, and spread the illness to his wife and son, but he and his family have recovered and he is back at work. Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said the man did not work closely with the president and never posed any risk to him.Continue reading the main story
In Canada, the confirmation of 15 additional cases on Thursday brought the total number of cases there to 34.
Mexico now has 312 confirmed cases and 12 confirmed fatalities. More than 2,500 cases are suspected, and at least 150 people are believed to have died of the disease.
Mexican officials fear that by shutting down businesses and scaring tourists away, the disease will deal a crushing blow to the country's already battered economy. Finance Minister Agustin Carstens said Thursday that he expected the new flu to cost Mexico from 0.3 percent to 0.5 percent of its gross domestic product, a loss that comes on top of an expected decline for the year of 3 percent to 5 percent.
In the United States, the government continued to roll out the plans it had made to deal with a nationwide outbreak. Until now, states have had to send samples to the C.D.C. in Atlanta to be tested for the new flu strain. But this week, the C.D.C. began sending materials to the states so that they could do their own tests and get results more quickly.
California was among the first to receive the materials, and a spokesman for the state health department said that by the end of the week, the state should be able to do its own testing.
But as health officials kept working in emergency mode, a few infectious disease experts quietly suggested that fears related to the outbreak were overblown.
Dr. Paul Offit, chief of infectious diseases at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said the death of a 23-month-old Mexican child in Texas did not mean that the outbreak was extraordinarily dangerous.
"Every year we see between 75 and 150 children die of flu, most of whom were previously healthy," Dr. Offit said.
Recent improvements to the nation's flu surveillance system led officials to notice the swine flu outbreak, he said, when just a few years ago it would have been lost among the sea of routine sicknesses.
"We're very quick now to identify new strains of the flu," Dr. Offit said. "The question is what we should do with that."
Dr. John Treanor, a professor of medicine at the University of Rochester Medical Center and an infectious-disease expert, said swine flu would probably be only slightly more dangerous than the usual seasonal flus.
"It won't be severe, although there will be some deaths," Dr. Treanor said. Because seasonal flu causes about 36,000 deaths a year in the United States, some deaths should not be surprising, he said.
At a House hearing on Thursday, several members of Congress said fear had begun to grip not only their constituents but also their own families.
"You'll forgive some of my constituents for wanting to get into the fetal position and bathe in Purell," said Representative Anthony D. Weiner of New York City, where half of the nation's cases of swine flu have been reported.
An article on Friday about the uncertainties surrounding swine flu quoted Representative Anthony D. Weiner of New York City incorrectly. In describing the fear gripping people in his district, he said at a House hearing, "You'll forgive some of my constituents for wanting to get into the fetal position and bathe in Purell." He did not say "fetal poison."

Candied Fruit Cheesecake
- ½ pound assorted candied fruits such as are sold for fruitcakes
- 2 tablespoons Bourbon or brandy
- 2 pounds cream cheese at room temperature
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 eggs
- 1 ¾ cups sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- Butter for greasing cake pan
- ⅓ cup graham cracker crumbs
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- If candied fruits are not already cut into small pieces, use knife to cut them into pieces about 1/4 inch in diameter. Put pieces of mixed fruit into small bowl and add Bourbon. Stir to blend. Set aside.
- Cheesecake batter may be made in bowl of food processor or electric mixer. If processor is used, it must have 12-cup capacity; otherwise it should be done in two steps using half the ingredients at a time. Place cream cheese, heavy cream, eggs, sugar and vanilla into container or bowl of food processor or mixer. Blend thoroughly.
- Add candied fruits with their liquid. If processor is being used, pulse mixture briefly. Do this only enough to blend fruit pieces without grinding them. Or blend them in electric mixer.
- Generously butter bottom and sides of cake pan measuring 8 inches wide and 3 inches deep. Do not use spring-form pan.
- Sprinkle pan inside with graham cracker crumbs and shake to coat bottom and sides. Shake out excess.
- Pour and scrape batter into prepared pan. Set pan inside a larger pan and pour boiling water around cake pan to depth of about 1 inch. Do not let edge of cheesecake pan touch sides of larger pan. Place pans thus arranged in oven and bake 2 hours. Turn off oven heat and let cake remain in oven one hour longer.
- Remove cake from water bath and place on a rack. Let stand two hours.
- Place a round cake plate over cake and carefully turn both upside down to unmold the cake. Serve lukewarm or at room temperature.

Japan monitoring Chinese aircraft carrier in the Pacific
Tokyo:The Japanese government said on Monday that it is keeping a close watch on the activities of Chinese aircraft carrier Liaoning in the Western Pacific, and added that its military drills "show the expansion of capabilities of the Chinese naval forces".
Liaoning is part of a Chinese naval fleet that was spotted by the Japanese Self Defence Forces while sailing in the East China Sea, some 110 km northeast of the island of Miyako, Tokyo's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said at a press briefing.
This is the first time that Japanese troops have confirmed the presence of the Chinese carrier in the region, Suga said, adding that Tokyo "will continue monitoring the situation closely", Efe news reported.
China's first aircraft carrier Liaoning set sail Saturday for Western Pacific waters to carry out military manoeuvres in the region, Beijing's defence ministry said.
The drills come at a time of tensions in the Pacific, following a recent telephone conversation between US President-elect Donald Trump and Taiwanese President Tsai Ying-wen that sparked strong criticism from Beijing.
Japan and China are also embroiled in a dispute in this region over the sovereignty of the Senkaku islands (known as Diaoyu in China), a group of uninhabited islands administered by Tokyo but claimed by Beijing.
The exact location of the Chinese navy flagship's manoeuvres remains unknown, with the country's defence ministry only disclosing that they would take place in "distant waters" in what is one of the first incursions by Liaoning – commissioned in 2012 – in international waters.
The ship is of Soviet make and was purchased from Ukraine, then rebuilt, mainly for use in training and research missions, according to the defence ministry.

Platini argued the cost of hosting an expanding Euros was too prohibitive for most aspiring hosts. "We have talked about 12 or 13 host cities all over Europe because it could be 24 or 32 nations,'' Platini said. "We won't need to build airports and stadiums especially at this moment in time when we have the economic crisis.
"It's just an idea but it is an idea I really feel passionately about. The majority of the executive committee think it's a good idea. We will have a great debate and we'll see what the executive committee decide in January."
The flaws are obvious, from diminishing the cultural identity of the tournament, to damaging the quality of the football with too many teams and whether the 12 host nations would have to qualify.
As for the long-suffering fans, Platini added: "There are low-cost airlines and it's easier to go from London to Paris or Berlin, then Kharkov to Gdansk.''
Platini's plan had a mixed greeting from England supporters. "It's not quite as barmy as it sounds,'' said Mark Perryman of the official group, englandfans. "Platini is right in that London to Berlin is less than Krakow to Donetsk. But I think there is something special about a country hosting a tournament. Ukraine have just proved that.
"When we arrived, fans were a bit grouchy, the roads weren't good, the accommodation wasn't great but even when Ukraine went out, the people were still so friendly and hospitable. It was wonderful and you would lose that."
The president of the Ukrainian football federation, Gregory Surkis, has hit back at allegations of racism made against his country by Panorama. "That the English FA complained to the BBC is the best answer to the question.''
Platini has also reiterated his opposition to "goal-line technology" which will be voted on by the International FA Board on July 5.
"I'm against technology itself because it will invade every single area of football. Why don't we have technology for offside decisions as well? In terms of Maradona's Hand of God, why don't we have technology to see if he scored with his hand? Where does it stop?''
It seems the additional assistant referees are here to stay as they apparently have acted as "a deterrent'' to those wanting to dive and pull shirts in the area at Euro 2012.
A special award will be presented to the Football Association of Ireland to celebrate their fans' behaviour.
