Being a superhero can't be easy. For every beneficial perk, there's a daunting consequence twice as divisive on deck, whether it be self-torment or demands from a fellow masked freak. Loved ones in danger, death-defying stunts on the daily, and of course, custom spandex that looks pristine on the evening news. As a fictional practice, it's heavily unadvised to pursue. As an actor, bringing such intricate elements into the fold can prove equally as daunting. It takes a special kind of persona to convey sincerity while breathing through a silly mask (or makeup), but those that pull it off have reaped the benefits of some of modern cinema's most influential movies.
The most amazing of these feats, however, is when a role proves so engaging to the audience that they will allow not one, but several performers to get in on the fun. Some to higher degrees of success than others, but still an indicator of what good acting can do in the right role. This practice also extends to super-villains, who if not for their scheming charisma, would have most heroes fighting measly bank robbers and questioning their very existence. Suffice to say, it's better for everyone that both exist, and in these particular cases, with a few different faces to boot.
Here are Screen Rant's 15 Iconic Comic Book Characters Played By Multiple Actors.
15 Human Torch
Portrayed by: Jay Underwood, Chris Evans, Michael B. Jordan
To employ a painfully cheesy-yet-accurate description, Johnny Storm is a hothead. Young, cocky, and thoroughly in awe of his newfound powers, the youngest Fantastic Four member is often the only one basking in the limelight. This was something Chris Evans played to perfection in the 2005 version of Fantastic Four, which had the future Captain America strutting his stuff opposite an otherwise talent-sucking trio (condolences to Michael Chiklis; he'll always be Vic Mackey). Mixing just the right amount of jerk and genuine good guy, Evans walked away with the picture and 2007 sequel Rise of the Silver Surfer.
The arrival of a reboot in 2015 saw some changes to the character, most notably with regards to appearance. Choosing to cast a black actor as everyone's favorite fire-wielder, director Josh Trank opted for Michael B. Jordan, who had previously stood out in the director's indie debut Chronicle (2012). Fant4stic Four bombed beyond belief, but Jordan proved his star power was here to stay, and has since followed his fellow Human Torch over to Marvel for a role in 2018's Black Panther.
14 The Punisher
Portrayed by: Dolph Lundgren, Thomas Jane, Ray Stevenson, Jon Bernthal
Granted, The Punisher was a less than stellar success in 2004, but no one could accuse star Thomas Jane of pulling any punches. As vigilante Frank Castle, the Golden Globe nominee goes full-on Charles Bronson, snapping, shooting, and stabbing his way through a mob of hostile goons and a smarmy John Travolta. Grimness is Jane's middle name for much of the story, but such overbearing dread proved key in the film's failure; joining the muddled 1989 original starring Dolph Lundgren. In an era of X-Men and Spider-Man, it wasn't exactly what audiences had in mind.
In fact, it would take a full 12 years before Frank Castle caught on in the public eye. Grabbing the second season of Daredevil by the throat, actor Jon Bernthal instantly became the definitive Punisher, chewing up scenery while doing likewise to Daredevil and a slew of Hell's Kitchen sleazebags. Angry to the point of blind rage, his Castle is a terrifying study in moral compasses gone askew, and the former boxer's bulldog demeanor only drives this damnation home. Netflix has since ordered a spinoff series for the fan favorite, proving that good things can fact happen to questionable people.
13 Professor X
Portrayed by: Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy
At a glance, Professor Charles Xavier is a fairly straightforward role: teacher, advisor, and basic mentor to the X-Men clan. High risk, little reward, and a milquetoast demeanor to mask it all. But as a man who embodies the saying "mind over matter," Xavier has actually come to signify one of the franchise's most textured character arcs, due in no small part to the performance of Patrick Stewart. Live action casting rarely works out this well, for the Star Trek icon becomes the Professor onscreen, right down to his mellifluous voice and intricate inner workings. Through thick-and-thin, plot holes and death, Xavier remained a series anchor.
As a result, the idea of recasting the role in 2011 was strenuous to say the least. X-Men: First Class sought to capture the vivacious young man prior to baldness and paralysis, fortunately finding such a vessel in the form of Scottish actor James McAvoy. Bearing enough of a resemblance to make a side-by-side (or face-to-face) comparison stick, the new Xavier was a worthy successor, with McAvoy's glassy eyes constantly hinting at the man he would eventually become. Cerebral scrambling never seem so refined.
12 Two-Face
Portrayed by: Billy Dee Williams, Tommy Lee Jones, Aaron Eckhart, Nicholas D'Agosto
Technically speaking, the first Harvey Dent sighting onscreen was through the guise of Billy Dee Williams. Introduced in Tim Burton's original Batman (1989), the dapper D.A. never fully crossed over to villainy, for a planned twist in Batman Returns (1992) never made it back the planning stage. Aficionados of the scarred politician would instead have to wait until Batman Forever in 1995, where Tommy Lee Jones proceeded to cackle his way through a glorified hissy fit. While the notion of Jones taking on the demanding Dent character seemed a brilliant move on paper, the film's cartoony code kept the Oscar winner from approaching any sort of emotional truth. Underwhelming, but good fun, nonetheless.
Dent would eventually receive his just due in 2008, when director Christopher Nolan awarded him a "White Knight" slot in the modern masterpiece The Dark Knight. Played with career-defining vigor by Aaron Eckhart, the one-time idealist is the film's ethical base gone astray; and the results are disturbingly memorable. Though overshadowed by The Joker, much in the way that Jones was swept off stage by Jim Carrey's Riddler, Eckhart finds a sympathy that lingers long after his final coin toss.
11 Quicksilver
Portrayed by: Evan Peters, Aaron Taylor-Johnson
Quicksilver is an odd case based simply on the fact that he appeared in two extended universes simultaneously. First up was a scene-stealing showcase in X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), where actor Evan Peters goofs his way through an ingenious set piece of super speed and witty humor. Fans knew they were getting something special, and the praised appearance led to an even larger role in 2016's X-Men: Apocalypse. Peters, most known for indie fare prior to his star-making turn, finds a wounded immaturity behind the jokes that serves his character well, and keeps him from being relegated to comic relief status. One can only assume (and hope) the character will speed by in 20th Century Fox's next X-Men installment.
Meanwhile, over in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson donned the white hairdo to run circles around the likes of Captain America and Iron Man. Introduced in conjunction with sister Scarlet Witch, the two genetically enhanced humans (no mutants for the MCU) went on to supply some of the most exciting moments of 2015's Avengers: Age of Ultron. Johnson's less flashy take on the character was well received, though with limited screen time and a wrapped-up outcome, he definitely finishes second in the Quicksilver race.
10 Daredevil
Portrayed by: Rex Smith, Ben Affleck, Charlie Cox
Ben Affleck can be a very good actor. With performances in Good Will Hunting (1998), Hollywoodland (2006), Gone Girl (2014), and even the divisive Batman v Superman (2016), the Boston native has proven his worth when it comes to detached and self-destructive outsiders. Unfortunately, this knack for antihero favoritism didn't always work out, and 2003's infamous Daredevil is still the ideal example. Called upon to play the dashing Matt Murdock, Affleck's internal intensity is turned down drastically here, and it's with a heavy heart than Daredevil fans proceed to watch him blindly walk into this underwhelming adaptation. The tepid response stuck with the Academy Award winner, who seemingly experienced flashbacks of disappointment when Dawn of Justice opened to similar critical bashing.
Taking such context into account, calling Charlie Cox the better Murdock is pretty much a given. Though far less famous than his big screen counterpart, the British actor broke out on Netflix's Daredevil series, excelling with a charmed approach to otherwise bleak content. Succeeding where Affleck fell short, Cox maintains a warmth to Murdock that makes him truly entertaining - especially after taking several beatings from #14 on this list, Frank Castle. And given the crossover plans for The Defenders in 2017, it looks as though Cox will have many more years to don the dark red suit.
9 General Zod
Portrayed by: Terence Stamp, Callum Blue, Michael Shannon
Banished from Krypton briefly before it's destruction, General Zod arrives on planet Earth with only one intention: world domination. It's as simple as super-villain plans can come, complete with henchman and a good old fashioned breach of The Oval Office. In the wrong hands, the role could've led to insufferable blandness, but professional cad Terence Stamp instead avoids any such concerns in the 1980 classic Superman II. Under the helm of director Richard Donner (and later Richard Lester), Stamp leaves his mark as Superman's most dangerous foe, right down to the final bait-and-switch moments.
Second only behind Lex Luthor in Superman lore, the character's demented doggedness was slightly altered when it came time to reboot the series in 2013. Under the helm of director Zack Snyder, Zod became a man bred for survival, consequently forced to proceed under any circumstances imaginable. The twist proved intriguing in a film otherwise loaded with flaws, and actor Michael Shannon ferociously connects with the role; providing a tragic soul in a war-torn exterior. An excellence one-two punch of performing - perhaps we should all just bow before Zod and call it a day.
8 Catwoman
Portrayed by: Julie Newmar, Eartha Kitt, Lee Meriwether, Michelle Pfieffer, Halle Berry, Anne Hathaway, Camren Bicondova
The impeccable cat's meow, Selina Kyle has had quite the turbulent movie history. Originally portrayed by Lee Meriwether in 1966, the role found racy fame when Michelle Pfeiffer purred her way into Batman Returns (1992), weaving her sadistic seduction with attitude to spare. No doubt a contributor to the critique of Tim Burton's adult-oriented sequel, the actress personified all that was frightening about the character, right down to her undead origins. Burton originally intended to helm a solo film with Pfeiffer in 1993, though the bottom fell out when he was taken out of the franchise director's chair and stripped of the character rights.
Tragically, this left the door wide open for the monstrosity that was 2004's Catwoman. Starring Halle Berry, an actual Oscar winner, the film tanked nearly as fast as the critical backlash, leaving fans feeling angered, berated, and all together unsure of any future iterations. Once again, it was Christopher Nolan who came in and restored quality, casting Anne Hathaway and focusing upon the character's thievery skills in The Dark Knight Rises (2012). Heavily praised, this Oscar winning actress proved that Catwoman still has several onscreen lives to use up.
7 Lex Luthor
Portrayed by: Lyle Talbot, Gene Hackman, John Shea, Michael Rosenbaum, Kevin Spacey, Jessie Eisenberg
Lex Luthor is vital to the Superman dichotomy. Like Batman and The Joker, both men are respective sides of the same coin, and the head-bumping that occurs has always proven worthy of Metropolis destruction and Kryptonite deception. Luthor first reared his bald head in Atom Man vs. Superman (1950), but the persona didn't fully formalize until the 1978 reboot, where Gene Hackman made for a delightful counterpart to Christopher Reeve's blue boy scout. Scheming, snarky, and all but redefining the word 'smug,' the legendary Hackman set a bar that would subsequently be filled by the likes of Kevin Spacey, Michael Rosenbaum, and Jesse Eisenberg.
This particular trio of performers would all add unique flavors to the role, from Spacey's megalomaniacal bend in Superman Returns (2006) to Eisenberg's skittish revamping in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). Admirable in their own right, particularly Spacey's turn, but the muddled final products made for acting that ultimately fell on uninterested eyes. In this regard, Rosenbaum's extended arc on NBC's Smallville (2001-11) may still rank as the lone successor to Hackman's throne, fleshing out a young man discontent with anything less than world domination. That is, after all, the only true calling of a self-proclaimed "criminal mastermind."
6 Spider-Man
Portrayed by: Nicholas Hammond, Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield, Tom Holland
Granted, Nicholas Hammond starred in the 70s TV show (including a few cable movies), but for all intents and purposes, Tobey Maguire was the man who jumpstarted Spidey's cinematic career. Making a splash with the 2002 megahit Spider-Man, Maguire won the world over as Peter Parker, nerd extraordinaire who also happened to have extraordinary powers. Though 27 years old at the time, the California actor thoroughly sold his teenage timestamp, and the resulting franchise was filled with magical moments (goth Peter not being one of them). The dud that was Spider-Man 3 (2007) ended Maguire's run, however, and subsequently passed the reins off to Andrew Garfield for 2012's reboot The Amazing Spider-Man.
Adhering closer to the source material than Maguire's trilogy, Garfield fit the bill well, with quick wit and youthful exuberance carving out his own niche in the Spidey legacy. Then, just like that, a poorly received sequel in 2014 sunk the Spider-Man ship a second time, leaving the future uncertain - until a deal between Sony and Marvel Studios allowed the hero to join the MCU. Now played by newcomer Tom Holland, this newest iteration has already become the big screen favorite, with Maguire, Garfield, and Stan Lee praising him as the finest Spider-Man yet. Who's going to argue with those guys?
5 Superman
Portrayed by: Kirk Alyn, George Reeves, Christopher Reeve, Dean Cain, Tom Welling, Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill, etc.
George Reeves may have been a limited actor, but Superman was where he truly shined. Debuting the character through Superman and the Mole Men in 1951, Reeves hit upon a common decency that spoke volumes, right down to his chiseled jawline and role model demeanor. Though his life was ultimately cut short by mysterious circumstances, the actor's indelible work on the Adventures of Superman (1951-58) show sustains his legacy as the Kryptonion benchmark. Ironically, the only actor who did Reeves better turned out to be his successor and near namesake, Christopher Reeve.
Selected from dozens of potential actors in 1978, the humble Reeve went on to become the greatest Superman of all time, fully basking in the goodwill glow while sporting some understated acting chops to boot. His honest, immensely likable presence onscreen helped establish Superman and it's 1980 sequel as two of the best superhero films ever made. By comparison, the recent string of Superman actors haven't been very strong. Brandon Routh brought a boorish lack of substance to the role in Superman Returns (2006), while Henry Cavill continues to bring an unlikable air of entitlement in the DCEU. Hopefully Tyler Hoechlin's upcoming turn in Supergirl sparks something enjoyable, otherwise it's back to rewatching the originals.
4 Hulk
Portrayed by: Bill Bixby/Lou Ferrigno, Eric Bana, Edward Norton, Mark Ruffalo
Another case of a character finding fame on the small screen, The Incredible Hulk debuted with the dual performance of Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno in 1978. Spanning five seasons and subsequent TV movies, the show was a commercial success, offering an intimate look at one of Marvel's most abrasive heroes. Ferrigno, a massive bodybuilder, dominated as the jolly green giant (mullet and all) each week, but it was Bixby's portrayal of Banner that truly struck a chord, combining Dr. Frankenstein and his creation into a single haunting persona. Subsequent takes on the character would pursue this emotional blend, though the efforts of Eric Bana in Hulk (2003) and Edward Norton in The Incredible Hulk (2008) left much to be desired.
Though critically revered in their own right, both actors attempted to convey boredom as angst, and the diminished financial returns of their films solidified as much. By the time The Avengers assembled in 2012, the studio had scrapped Norton outright and started from scratch, opting to go with Academy Award nominee Mark Ruffalo instead. Less depressed and prone to awkward fun, the actor's unorthodox approach proved a hit, and reinvented The Hulk as a fan favorite for newer audiences. Except Loki. He's probably still bitter about the whole 'puny god' thing.
3 Batman
Portrayed by: Lewis Wilson, Adam West, Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck
Dating back to the wham-pow days of Adam West in the 60s, Gotham's darkest son has become one of pop culture's seminal superheroes. A caped rarity in that abnormal abilities are replaced with intellect, Bruce Wayne offers a smorgasbord of acting range; from drunken playboy and hardened hero to emotionally stunted orphan. With such traits in mind, the casting of comedy actor Michael Keaton in Batman (1989) made for one hell of a backlash. Racking up close to 50,000 fan letters that requested he be taken off the project, the Academy Award nominee persevered, and delivered what many still believe to be a classic interpretation.
Keaton's departed the series in 1992, however, leaving the floodgates open for budding superstars Val Kilmer and George Clooney to step in. Sadly, the films that resulted (Batman Forever, Batman & Robin) proved anything but super. Having gained notoriety both before and after these poor displays, the respected actors fell short of their predecessor by a long shot. As a result, the Batman legacy wouldn't return to greatness until 2005, when Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins introduced a wickedly compelling Christian Bale in the title role. Focusing more upon the man than the mask, Bale's textured performance raised the bar and gifted fans with a definitive Dark Knight portrayal. Ben Affleck received positive response for his turn in Dawn of Justice (2016), but it's undeniable that he's got some big batshoes to fill in his own solo film.
2 Magneto
Portrayed by: Michael Fassbender, Ian McKellen
Marvel's ultimate anti-villain, Magneto is a man who often finds himself in moral disarray. Chronologically introduced in X-Men: First Class (2011), the man born Erik Lehnsherr always had a mean streak to him, even when attempting to play it straight for the good of man (or mutant) kind. In doing so, actor Michael Fassbender creates a tragic character study, caught between violent urges and unshakeable sympathy for his fellow 'freaks.' Operating under the influence of Ian McKellen's original performances, Fassbender does his prequel duty proud, and provides one of the few elements that pleasantly align in the X-Men universe.
As for Sir Ian, his tenure as the metal-wielding mutant is simply spot-on. Much like co-star and close friend Patrick Stewart, the actor's theatrical flair makes for a performance as intimidating as it is soulful. Rarely without a radical solution, McKellen makes his older Magneto far more cynical, yet still unsure of where to stand when the dust settles on truly heinous evil. Stone-faced and stern, both he and Fassbender provide a translation of the comic book character that will impress for years to come.
1 The Joker
Portrayed by: Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto (upcoming)
Performers who play The Joker simply can't seem to miss. Originated by Cesar Romero in the 60s, Gotham's Clown Prince hit the big time in 1989, when the inspired casting of Jack Nicholson gained a worldwide seal of approval. The Oscar winner didn't disappoint, either, as his rubber-faced grin and sadistically bouncy flavor stole the show outright, and served to solidify the character as pop culture royalty. Perfectly opposing Keaton's subdued Batman, Nicholson runs wild, and scenes like the art gallery invasion or an all new origin story were gambles that paid off huge. Pulling primarily from The Joker's zanier side, Nicholson's gregarious take still holds water with just about every super-villain there is.
Heath Ledger, on the other hand, found a bit more resistance when he was cast in 2008's The Dark Knight. A well respected presence, the quiet Australian simply didn't seem the type who could topple Christian Bale's Batman - until, of course, the film was released. Instantly canceling any concerns whatsoever, Ledger's Joker was a jaw-dropping creation, a mad dog who terrified as much as he captivated. Director Christopher Nolan teased a career defining performance out of the actor, one that would go on to earn him his first and only Academy Award (posthumously). Perhaps not the first, but undoubtedly the best.
Fellow Supporting Actor winner Jared Leto is set to play the giggling gunsel in this year's Suicide Squad, ensuring that Joker's cinematic history remains one without equal. Who wouldn't crack a smile with actors like these?

Ephesians 5:25-33
Intimacy between a husband and his wife culminated in their "one flesh" sexual union is but a reflection of the intimacy between Christ and His bride, the church. Jesus Christ gave Himself as (the perfect Lamb of God) to present His bride to Himself without spot or wrinkle and in all her glory. And it is this intimacy with Christ, how intimacy with all sin is put to death.

Hello everyone. It's a somewhat dreary friday afternoon. I'm not quite better yet but am now clearly heading that way. I haven't coughed nearly as often today as I have over the past while. It doubtless helps that I haven't actually said more than perhaps two thousant words this week even counting commands to my voice-controlled talking alarm clock. My nose is unblocked and not running all the time. My head is still not back to normal but there's less pressure inside. My hearing isn't back to normal yet but things are sounding less muffled and distant. I wouldn't want to venture out onto the sidewalk or cross a street, but indoor navigation is alright again. For the first time this week, I believe I'll be able to stay up all day today. There's still a kind of lethargy hanging over me. I'm glad I can just stay here and relax.
I started the morning listening to the last summer edition of the Current on CBC Radio1. Apparently, Marc Garno is going to be commanding the international space station in late 2012. That'll certainly be a nifty six months to follow. He sounds so deserving of that responsibility and eager for it as well. Of course, the world might end pretty early on in his tour of duty if there's anything to that Mayan calendar. Wouldn't that royally suck? Personally, I think 2012 is going to come and go like any other year. However, if enough misguided souls take all the 2012 crap to heart, I should probably check into Ebay during that span of otherwise doubtless dull days two years hence.
TV turned up aces this morning. I caught two episodes of Urban Legens on History Channel followed by an episode of Mythbusters on Discovery. Not too shabby at all. A couple of nights ago, I actually managed to stay up and caught a new show on History Channel called Weird or What. William Shatner is the host and it's actually something I believe I'll try and catch regularly. It's been quite a while since TV has come up with anything to make me try to do that. Perhaps, this bodes well for this Fall tv lineup. I just wish I could find someone out there who was close enough to visit and liked the same sorts of shows. Preferably, of course, a female around my age who wasn't otherwise hitched. I really miss having a girlfriend. There's just no getting rid of that sense of incompleteness to life as a single guy.
Even with no background music or anything, I barely heard that knock at my door. The upper hand and forearm technique taught to me in grade school served me well on my rush to answer. Could have easily bashed my nose or given my cranium a good thump. Even indoors, it looks like more sonic recalibration is in order as whatever this virus is startes to withdraw from me. It seems the postman couldn't find my entry in the outer lobby buzz directory so he simply came up. It's good to know that's at least a possibility for them to come up to the actual door in such a circumstance. My new custom-built cane from Ambutech has arrived. Wasn't quite certain which of two length choices would be right but I'm very happy with the 135-cm length that I went with. I'm also happy to have chosen five sections rather than four as this new cane fits my holster far more neatly than what I've been using. The grip and joints are identical to the older Ambutech cane I got as a spare and have been thankful for this week despite it sticking out of said holster. It'll take a bit to become fully acustomed to the roller tip I thought might work well. However, it should handle touch-and-drag situations far better than my older cane did. There's certainly something to be said for ordering one's own cane to specifications. If it lasts as long as my previous grafite cane has, I'll absolutely get my $62 worth. Presuming the cane renewal kit lets me fix the cord in my old cane, I won't have to think about buying any for God knows how many years.
It's so damned good to be able to sit at this desk again and not start to nod off within a few minutes of starting to do something. I begin to feel hopeful that I'll actually enjoy this last long weekend of summer whether there's rain or not. If I'm supremely lucky, tonight's rest will complete the getting better process and I'll enjoy a supercharged saturday. That's probably too much to seriously hope for, but I'm confident that I'll feel better than I do today. With the prospect of enjoying my first big dinner in a while this evening, that'll definitely do for the present. I'm cooking up a couple of beef grilling medallions, some potatoes in the oven, and some zucchini with garlic and olive oil on the grill. For the past few days, I simply haven't had the energy or apetite to eat all that much. Gone through a number of soup cans over the last while. Fortunately, Grocery Gateway has sent a ten-dollar-off coupon which I can use to restock items next week. Being sick certainly alters one's eating patterns.
That pretty much brings us up to date. A couple of BBC Radio offerings worth mentionning were a show about a school in England built to try to bring the Asian and white communities closer together. That was an interesting show. Another was about the scientists who advised or consulted with film or TV and how the worlds of science and art interacted. That was easily the listening highlight of the week. As usual, I'm pretty much garanteed to be the only guy who heard it within half a fucking continent. Is there nobody out there? Has my quest to find my in-crowd or at least one special lady on the same wavelength as me been utterly hopeless from the start? Intellectually, I seriously begin to wonder. Emotionally, I know that I simply can't aford to give up hope. If I do, I pretty much garantee a negative outcome. It's that simple.
This past week has set things in quite a solitary light. Doubtless, next week will see me out there more presuming I'm truly putting this bug behind me. I'm quite optimistic that all this rest and sleep plus pills has turned the trick. It's around a quarter past five. Presuming those medallions are thawed as I expect, it's time to start working on some taters and zucchini.

I'm not a huge fan of the Tennessee Titans. When I was living in
And now we have Vince Young, Vince "National Championship, 6'5", 233 pound, VY, NFL Rookie of the Year, Cover of Madden '08, Pro-Bowl in his first year" Young! Following a 467 yard performance in the '05 national championship game Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott said "Vince Young is the greatest quarterback to ever play college football." USC coach Pete Carroll said "that was the best performance I've seen by one guy." Young finished his senior season with 3,036 yards passing and 1,050 yards rushing. His first year in the NFL he had an unbelievable six game winning streak at one point as a rookie starter. Young, on top of the world.
VY has unreal scrambling skills. He is magic on 3rd and long or in any 4th quarter game that is even close! A thrill to watch – power and finesse and cunning all combined to make greatness. Perfect coverage can't exist, because the defensive back has to keep one eye on the strong possibility that Young may take off on a run. He is a dual-threat quarterback with the possibility of recreating the role – a proto-type of QB's to come.
Sometime along the way someone got in his head, "to be a great quarterback: they whispered in what must have sounded like a shout to him, "you have to be a great passer." Early this season Young mimicked the naysayer by saying he wanted to be remembered as a great passer. And the result – disaster! Young has been awful this season. A young group of receivers no longer has the luxury of a running QB that gave them a cushion. The natural flow has been replaced by a reluctance, the result few yards rushing and a lot of incompletes and intercepts. Young is not using his talent.
I feel bad for Young (with his millions, I suspect he'll be OK) but that's just football.
I feel bad for Young but I understand. I had not been preaching long when I learned that many, if not most people, wish their preacher were someone else. They wish he was a previous preacher or a preacher they've heard on a lectureship, or seen on TV, or encountered in a meeting or revival. They wish he visited like Brother X or prayed like Brother Y or had the passion of Brother Z (and just in case you wonder there are 23 other letters we could ascribe a wish to). And, yes, Vince, I often found myself wishing I had the knowledge and scholarship of Brother A, or the zeal and recall of Brother B or the skill and soundness of Brother C. And sometimes I've tried to be them – always to the detriment of the abilities God gave me.
I feel bad for Young but I feel worse for the congregation that misses it's most obvious opportunity for ministry, that can't spot what it's skills are and that wastes the talents God has placed there. That's one of the real keys to church growth: identify what are your skills – friendliness, teaching, singing, families, supporting youth – and capitalize on them.
I feel bad for Young but (and here is why I'm writing) I feel worse for the Christian who has stopped using her strength: The saint that has allowed their gift to be benched, and their abilities to be sidelined. Friend, the church needs YOU and God has a plan and a place for you. He gave you what He gave you to use for Him – to return it to the Giver. And, when you do, you'll find a satisfaction like none other. When you try to be what you are not you short-circuit His grand scheme for you. Get in the game – run the ball (both you and Vince)!

Google Allo which launched last year in September, had a myriad of basic features missing with the worst one being that it worked only on phones and neither on tablets or laptops. It also allowed an user to use it only at one device at an instance.
After almost an year, Google has finally launched the web version of the app which can be accessed via allo.google.com/web. Similar to Whatsapp Web, users need to scan a QR from their mobile phone to use it on desktop, which instantly syncs it to the phone. However, you can be logged in into only a single desktop at once, i.e., one phone and one desktop/laptop. The web version is only available for Android users at the moment and iOS users will have to wait as posted on the official website of Google Allo.
It offers adjustable text sizes, various stickers and a smart reply feature, which provides usage based response suggestions for texts and emojis. Google claims that it is constantly learning a user's texting habits. Google has also launched the Google Assistant for the desktop which has support for the Allo app as well.
It can provide you suggestions such as nearby theaters, restaurants and flights in your chat itself. Google Allo also features an incognito mode for private chat and notifications. A drawback being considered by few is that the web version only works on the chrome browser right now. There are certain features that you can't use on desktop, such as, deleting any conversation, removing or adding a person in a group, blocking someone or backing up your chat.
Now the question is that will this help Google in getting more users. What do you think?

Michèle George Goes for the Gold
The athletes at the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy are very busy but we had a quick opportunity to talk with Belgian competitor Michèle George. She talked to us about her horse, FBW Rainman, and the challenges she has faced over the years while training. The hard work has certainly paid off, though, as Michèle won a gold medal this year in Grade IV Para-Dressage.

The most recent individual to join the arrangements of Ram Cahran's up and coming flick 'Bruce Lee' is performing artist Tisca Chopra. The sizzling Dil Toh Bachcha Hai Ji star is set to begin her innings in Tollywood. She was most recently seen in the Bollywood flick 'Rahasya', which neglected to make an effect in the cinematic world. Tisca joined the arrangements of the Srinu Vaitala directorial two or three days back and she is as of now inspired with the group.
At the point when a fan on Twitter solicited her to impart her experience from attempting to the Magadheera performing artist, she characterized her experience as super cool and applauded the film's unit for making her vibe agreeable. The performer additionally posted a selfie with the lead on-screen character of the flick Ram Charan on the microblogging site. A source from the film's unit uncovered to IANS, "Tisca plays a rich, capable and autonomous lady in the film. It was executive Srinu Vaitla, who has taken after Tisca's work firmly, chosen to give her a role as he felt she was well-suited for the part". We will need to sit back and watch how well her Tollywood debut goes.

Remember back in February during those arctic conditions, just before we had all that snow? That was when Amy and Rob came to the farm for their Engagement Photography session. I think Amy's hands and lips went from pink to blue in a very short space of time!
What a fantastic couple they are and what a wonderful relationship they have together. I was so pleased to have the opportunity to photograph them during what is always an exciting time in anyones life.
It was in fact one of Amy's friends, Elzie, who organised the engagement photography. She had emailed me to say Amy had recently become engaged and loved the idea of an engagement session and she and her friends wanted to get it for her as a present.
Before the day I had been in contact with Amy and she told me that she wasn't able to walk anywhere far due to being on crutches. It was decided there were plenty of lovely spots around the ponds which meant only short walks were necessary. I later found out that Amy had been the innocent party in a terrible car accident in which she'd suffered some horrible injuries to her legs and ankles, from which she was still recovering.
Rob had been an absolute rock to Amy during this time. It's when things like this happen you really know who you can depend on, Amy found out Rob was certainly that person.
So in some beautiful late afternoon sun and blue skys we made some photographs. Having your engagement photography and also your wedding portraits during the couple of hours before sunset really does make all the difference. As you can see in these photographs the light can be absolutely stunning! We were even blessed with a knock out sunset! If the temperature hadn't been below zero due to the wind chill it would have been perfect. It wasn't far off it even so.
If you're engaged why not book and Engagement Photography session to get a feel for how it feels to be photographed? Just email me for further info via the Contact page.

Category Archives: SILICA DUST TOOLS & VACUUMS
Milwaukee DUST TRAP Keeps it Simple
In 2017 we say a lot of excitement around the new OSHA Silica Dust regulations which we think is a great move forward for everyone's safety. Silicosis is serious business but it does not necessarily need to be a complex or costly solution. The new Milwaukee DUST TRAP employs the K.I.S.S. method, keep it simple stupid. For $19 the 48-03-3035 Drill Shroud is a universal fit to most rotary drills and does not require a vacuum. Because concrete drilling does not generate significant silica dust like cutting or grinding application might simply by containing the debris in the "DUST TRAP" this attachment can meet the objective data requirements (***Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) to 50 µg/m3 over an 8-hour period).
Milwaukee Tool's Solutions for Dust Collection
Milwaukee recently announced that they will be releasing several new dust extraction tools and accessories to support their growing dust collection line in preparation for the increasing OSHA regulations. These attachments will work in conjunction with Milwaukee's existing line of rotary hammers and grinders to be compliant under the upcoming regulations for silica dust control. The New OSHA regulations, set to be effective September 23rd 2017, are a major step forward in keeping jobsites safe and preventing workplace related danger and illnesses due to airborne silica. This being said, it is very important for tool manufacturers to stay ahead of the curve with their concrete tools, accessories and overall technology, or get left in the dust.
Dust Collection Vacuums for OSHA Silica Rules
**** OSHA UPDATE 4/7/2017 – New OSHA Deadline is September 23, 2017 for Silica Dust Compliance as there was a 90 day extension added.
As the OSHA's silica June 23, 2017 compliance deadline is rapidly approaching, do you know which dust collection vacuum complies? Do you know how often filters need to be changed? Do you know the filter efficiency standard? If you answered no to any of these questions, don't worry, in today's Coptool post we will discuss OSHA's silica regulation and approved products to ensure you're in compliance!
OSHA has issued two standards in an effort to protect millions of construction workers from crystalline silica – one for construction and the other for general industry and maritime. Throughout this post, we will be focusing on the construction standard. OSHA recognizes that current silica regulations do not provide adequate protection for construction workers. With the new standard, OSHA is reducing the permissible exposure limit to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air over 8 hour time weighted average. Basically 1/5 of the previous standard of 250 micrograms per cubic meter of air over 8 hour time weighted average. Check out the Pulse-Bac Vacuum video above, they do the best job we have seen for outlining the basic details.

The Skillful Teacher: Building Your Teaching Skills

This book has a lot going for it. For one thing, its title is inviting. I often referred to it, wondering how brief Oscar's life was and if the author was wise to give that away, wondering if I agreed that his life was wondrous, and wondering why the author thinks his life is wondrous, since I had my doubts at times.
Oscar is interesting too. He's an overweight Dominican American who is into science fiction and fantasy. Reading about him, reading about his awkwardness, his hopelessness, was amusing and painful. I laughed out loud sometimes, because I have encountered his brand of nerdiness. Diaz makes him likable, even lovable, though you may throw up your hands in despair as Oscar's central quest, love, is repeatedly thwarted by fate and his own idiosyncrasies. I suspect his failures with women will not surprise you if you get to know him.
A quote on the back of my copy states that the book is "impossible to categorize". I disagree. It even reminds me, in many ways, of a novel I read last year by another American with a Latin American background: Caramelo by Sandra Cisneros. In fact, it reminds me of some novels by Latin American authors, not that I've read many. It had some elements of magical realism to it, but more noticeably, it spends a lot of time in the past, recounting a nation's or a people's history through a family's experience. Oscar's family was wealthy and prestigious in his grandfather's time and earlier. That doesn't last the brutal dictatorship of a man named Trujillo. There are footnotes and the narrative text is colorful and engaging.
But the narration of the past is one reason I could not give the novel four stars, though it edges toward it. Maybe it's just me. Maybe I was expecting another kind of story. I loved learning about the Dominican Republic. It was interesting to read a semi-familiar narrative of Latin American dictatorship with a twist: Oscar's constant allusions to the Lord of the Rings, but I did tire of it at times.
I was interested in weird Oscar's immigrant experience/persecuted nerd story. The family background was necessary, I guess, but I'm not sure if so much background was necessary. And if the family history was the point, then maybe I'm not sure how it all fits together and what it all means, especially in light of how Oscar's story itself ends. Part of the story, Oscar's college years, is told by one of his sister's boyfriends. I guess I personally wanted more of that. That character's perceptions of Oscar after having been "in Oscar's head" earlier were fascinating. His sister's and mother's stories aren't bad, but, again, is all the detail necessary?
At least one reviewer panned the book for being misogynist. Well, I can't completely concur. Dictatorships are brutal; women suffer. Attitudes toward women can be brutal; women suffer. That should be portrayed. At the same time, the portrayal of some of the events may have lapsed at times and been a bit too flippant, but even if you are sensitive to it, I'd be surprised if most people would think the text errs continuously in that regard. Oscar though? Is he a hopeless romantic, or is his "love" so unrelated to the actual person he admires that it borders on something suspect, not misogyny but something unadmirable? Maybe.

Adapted from a recipe by Nancy Swartzendruber Photo by D. Lucas Landis
Once you've tried the cocoa powder and fleur de sel toppings below, feel free to experiment with whatever you like. Cayenne, ginger, lavender, nuts and cinnamon have all gotten rave reviews at our house.
Makes 45 (.-inch) truffles
6 ounces semisweet chocolate
1 1/2 teaspoons espresso powder
2 ounces cream
8 ounces good dark chocolate
1/8 cup cocoa powder
1 tablespoon fleur de sel or other finishing salt
Place the semisweet chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
Over medium heat, whisk the espresso powder into the cream and warm the cream until just before it boils. Pour the cream over the chocolate and mix together until the residual heat from the cream has melted the chocolate. Place this mixture in the refrigerator until it hardens (45–50 minutes or overnight).
Once the chocolate mixture has set, use a melon baller or a spoon to scoop out teaspoons of the chocolate mixture. Roll these into balls and place on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
Place the dark chocolate in a saucepan set over a pan of simmering water. Melt the chocolate and stir until smooth. Dip the … Read More

God Killing All People
Most Relevant Verses
The LORD said, "I will blot out man whom I have created from the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky; for I am sorry that I have made them."
Then God said to Noah, "The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.
"Behold, I, even I am bringing the flood of water upon the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life, from under heaven; everything that is on the earth shall perish.
"For after seven more days, I will send rain on the earth forty days and forty nights; and I will blot out from the face of the land every living thing that I have made."
Thus He blotted out every living thing that was upon the face of the land, from man to animals to creeping things and to birds of the sky, and they were blotted out from the earth; and only Noah was left, together with those that were with him in the ark.
The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; and the LORD said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.

I Am
I am creative and complicated.
I wonder what I want to be.
I hear the laughter of my dreams.
I see my future in the distance.
I want to find myself.
I am creative and complicated.
I pretend to know who I am.
I feel defeated when I can't make the right choice.
I touch the clouds, only to fall out of their reach.
I worry about everyone but myself.
I cry when my faults are shown.
I am creative and complicated.
I understand I am not perfect.
I say that no one is.
I dream that one day I can be.
I try to make room for myself in this world.
I hope that one day I can.
I am creative and complicated.
Is anybody there?
All I hear is the dial tone.
All I am is scared.
Do you know who I am?
Do you know what's become of me?
All I want is to be saved.
All I need is to leave.
Why am I alone?
Why don't you ever answer?
Why don't you pick up the phone?
Can you help me?
I used to be full,
But now I am empty.
All I hear is a song
Called silence
For everyone is gone.
Stars twinkle in the darkness,
Glittering, gleaming, golden
They call out to me
Beautiful, bright tokens.
I leap out of my window,
Reaching out to touch the sky
Dancing, daring, dreaming
And it makes me feel
Like the stars will never be leaving.
But daytime comes,
And the sky is bare
But for a shining sun
The stars are no longer there
But I know that tonight,
The stars will come once more
So I may dance with them,
As I had the night before.
FORCED rhyme:
Filling fast
Runnin' out of time
Time's a-tickin'
Sand a-spillin'
Runnin' out of time
Goes the clock
Runnin' out of time
Gettin' dizzy
Goin' crazy
Runnin' out of time
Goes the clock
Runnin' out of time
I Had The Weirdest Dream...
i had the weirdest dream
it all started one night
and gave me quite a fright
it was set in black and white
a beautiful, classy sight
everyone was watching me
my heart was beating
a man appeared with a gun drawn
the seemingly innocent con
but i woke up before i could see
the plan this dream had for me
Broken Heart
there was a young lady whose heart
could just not seem to start
they tried to revive her
but she would not stir
so is the fate of a broken heart
free verse:
Teardrops drip like rain on a window,
Forming sorrow over a darkened land.
I cannot seem to comprehend
Why sadness has become a part of me,
Why I know it better than the back of my hand.
Silence can be the most peaceful thing,
But sometimes it's unbearable
And all I hear now is the
Of the tears hitting the unforgiving floor.
end rhyme:
Who do you think you are?
Your words are whispering torment
And leave a bleeding scar.
You smile sweetly at me,
And then leave me with your car.
You used to be so beautiful,
But now you're a fading star.
You said you'd never leave me,
But you're still hurting me from afar.

text: Heyp, wondering if you found service schedule from somewhere? I have 2009 allroad and doing service as needed. 15k back did all filters, gearbox and engine oil, this time did only engine oil. When next 15k comes up doing again all filters, gearbox and engine oil. By that time gearbox has done 30k, air filter 30k, fuel filter 30k, cabin filter 30k( might change this little bit earlier). Doing most services myself and just keeping receipts of oils and filters ect with documented service dates on them. Using Motul 8100 x-clean plus 5w-30 in engine and oil still looked quite good after 15k. Done stage 1 for the engine, added oil catch and blocked air intake from exhaust (ecu decoding also).

In addition to launching the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, Apple announced a new Series 3 of the Apple Watch. Since the original Apple Watch was released I've been contemplating buying one but have yet to pull the trigger. I've been having an internal debate about striking the right balance of being connected all the time and when it's time to disconnect from distractions. When I saw one of Apple's ads for the Watch, it solidified my stance that I don't want the product.
While the ad itself is beautifully shot like all of Apple's advertising, for me, the one takeaway from the ad is that you'll never disconnect. And not in a positive way.
It takes everything romantic about surfing – being one with your environment, disconnecting from external distractions to be present in the moment, and respecting the power of the ocean – and makes that beautiful sport superficial, routine, and emotionless.
The ad signs off with "The freedom of cellular". To me, this ad epitomizes the exact opposite of freedom. It evokes the feeling of being chained to the distractions of technology and the addictive hold that our devices have on us. That feels like anything but freedom to me.
Apple has a pretty great batting average with their advertising so it is easy to jump on what I believe is one of their rare misses. But with Apple's role as a corporate giant helping feed our unhealthy obsession with our devices, this ad feels really out of touch with how being connected all of the time can improve our lives.
In searching for deeper meaning to the ad or seeing if I was missing something I did a quick search of the incoming caller in the ad, which appears to be someone on the Apple design team. It's a small detail that ultimately has no impact on its effectiveness, but for the purposes of this blog post, it makes me feel like that's a call from the office.
Apple will continue to come out with great advertising that will make us all want their products. But for now:

Water, water everywhere. With 71% of the earth being covered in water, and around 60% of the human body being water, there is no doubt that water is one of the most important elements of health – health of the body and health of our environment.
But what about the health of mummies? No one is more prone to severe dehydration that a mummified person or animal. In fact, a lack of water is necessary for the mummification process.
So what is a health seeking mummy to do? Let's look at general guidelines for water consumption in humans, and see if our mummy brethren can benefit from this information.
Benefits of Water
Every system in our body uses water. Without water many essential processes slow down or do not function optimally. Some of the most important functions of water in the body:
- carrying nutrients to your cells
- allowing your cells to remove debris
- flushing bacteria out of the bladder
- supporting digestion
- regulating bowel movements
- supporting blood pressure
- protecting joints
- regulating body temperature
- maintaining salt balance in the body
Signs of Dehydration
Dehydration can occur quickly, especially on hot days, or slowly with compounded effects day after day. If you have any of the following signs of dehydration, you should increase your water intake and talk to your doctor.
- headaches
- dizziness
- weakness
- low blood pressure
- confusion
- dark coloured urine
- dry skin
- bandage wrapped skin and a birth date more than 100 years ago
How Much Water to Drink?
There is no hard rule for how much water to drink, but there are some general guidelines which can be helpful in keeping you hydrated.
- Two to three cups (250ml) per hour – This will keep you hydrated all day long
- 8×8 rule – eight 8oz glasses per day. – Simple, easy to remember, but not based on any hard science, the 8×8 rule is likely to work for most people
- 5-1.0 ounces per pound of body weight – A nice guideline that can be easily individualized based on your weight. Aim for the higher amount during hotter or drier weather.
For mummies, the recommended amount of water is likely to be much higher due to a baseline of severe dehydration. I recommend tripling the above recommendations to meet a mummy's water needs.
Human, or mummy, water is essential to our quality of life. So pick a guideline above and challenge yourself to drink your way to optimal health.

1/18 2017 Ford Mustang GT in Ingot Silver
- Ingot Silver Paint & Optional Black Roof
- Highly Detailed 5.0 Engine
- Steerable Front Wheels
- Precise, Accurate Interior & Complete Chassis
- Heavyweight Die-Cast Metal
- Opening Doors, Trunk & Hood
In late 1964, Ford introduced the Mustang. It was a compact, sporty, and affordable car that would be the benchmark for all pony cars to come. It was an instant success. Over 50 years later, the next generation debuted with aggressive new styling and performance to match–making it arguably one of the hottest new cars of the modern era. Auto World has faithfully replicated the 2017 Mustang GT in Ingot Silver with an optional black roof, a black and red interior, complete with the legendary 5.0L motor cranking out 435hp. Realistic features like functional steering, suspension, and even an accurate prop rod under the hood round out the extensive details of this incredible die-cast replica.

Like their counterparts elsewhere, US bankers and politicians regularly speak untruths. American bankers are unlikely to be truthful if it impacts negatively on the economy, their businesses-and especially their bonuses. And American politicians will rarely be honest if it inflicts damage on their poll numbers. Thus, are we dreaming to expect truthfulness from American bankers and politicians?
By 2006, it was clear that the US Federal Reserve`s (the Fed`s) own figures on mortgage and other consumer debt were demonstrably flashing red. And yet, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the Fed`s board of governors and thus arguably America`s most important banker, did not issue a warning about them.
Was Mr. Bernanke afraid to tell the truth about America`s mortgage/consumer debt problem? Perhaps he felt that given his position he could not provide such a warning as financial markets might react badly to such comments and thus he would be labelled as the instigator of a financial-economic slowdown.
Regardless, he appeared to offer even further encouragement in the promotion of mortgage/consumer debt.
On February 15, 2006, Mr. Bernanke said "our expectation is that the decline in [housing] activity or the slowing in activity will be moderate, that house prices will probably continue to rise, but not at the pace that they had been rising." Then, just as the sub-prime mess was starting to unfold, on March 28, 2007, Mr. Bernanke said, "at this juncture, however, the impact on the broader economy and financial markets of the problems in the sub-prime market seems likely to be contained." Only a few days later on April 2, 2007, one of the largest sub-prime lenders, New Century Financial, filed for bankruptcy, and the sub-prime mortgage panic began to engulf America and the world.
By contrast, perhaps having learned the lesson of the US, Mark Carney, the governor of Canada`s central bank, the Bank of Canada, together with the heads of Canada`s major banks this past December 16, openly expressed the desire to slowing the growth in Canadian mortgage/consumer debt. Canadian consumer debt levels are now close to those prevailing in the US before the credit markets there imploded.
At least in Canada we are seeing some truthfulness from top bankers. But as we know such truths by American bankers were virtually non-existent prior to its financial debacle.
At the heart of the US financial crises were bank balance sheets that were crippled with `toxic` assets-mostly, but not exclusively, mortgaged-backed securities (MBS) where markets were largely non-functional and prices distressed. This led to massive losses on bank income statements and balance sheets.
Now a balance sheet is supposed to show the true financial condition and net worth of an entity on a given date. But this fundamental rule of honesty in accounting has been squelched to make banks` balance sheets (and income statements, etc.) look much better in the wake of the 2008 financial collapse. It was claimed that continuing to value assets on the balance sheets at distressed prices accentuated the financial turmoil.
Hence, under extraordinary pressure from the US government and the banks in the spring of 2009, the American Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) relaxed its requirement that banks value applicable assets at real life market values. FASB now allowed banks to price difficult to value, thinly traded securities or those in distressed markets, to a self-proscribed bank computer `model.` Magically, banks were suddenly profitable again and balance sheets improved! Here the belief is clearly that the "end justified the means." Truth in basic accounting values got sacrificed.
Perhaps bankers, who purportedly espouse honesty and integrity, should have their banks issue two sets of audited public financial statements: one which accounts for assets and liabilities being valued, where possible, at market prices (so called `mark to market` or `fair value`), and the other set of statements using the current FASB`s directives. Then let investors and stakeholders draw their own conclusions about the banks` financial condition!
Just as US bankers are found lacking in truthfulness, so are American politicians. Martin Jay, a history professor at the University of California-Berkeley, discusses the honesty of politicians in his recent book, The Virtues of Mendacity: On Lying in Politics. In an interview with US News & World Report on May six he said, "I`m not urging governments to lie, and I`m not urging the citizenry to be complacent about mendacity. But what I`m trying to say is that it`s more important to focus on the issues, on the policies, and on the effects these have on people`s lives, than to constantly look for discrepancies in promises and performance, or to look for inconsistencies in a person`s career."
So perhaps the electorate should be more interested in the issues and policies than about the politicians` honesty. But if a person is seen as knowingly speaking lies or hiding truths, we believe they cannot be trusted. It is probably this dilemma that results in politicians almost everywhere being held in such low regard by their electorates.
But possibly, Americans do want to know more of the truth concerning the state of their economy, its unfunded liabilities, and so on. And if politicians were more truthful, then, perhaps, the respect the public has for them will improve. And maybe those politicians speaking more honestly will get elected. This yearning for truthfulness seems partly responsible for the growth of the US Tea Party Movement.
American history is replete with bankers and politicians telling lies and misleading the public. Maybe sometimes the consumer, the public, is not ready to hear the truth. But perhaps the only way for bankers and politicians to regain the confidence of their respective public is for them to be more honest. However, does the public not also share in the blame of the pervasive untruthfulness of bankers by allowing them inordinate power, and for continually electing politicians who disrespect or hide truths?

Victor Wanyama and Toby Alderweireld will both miss Tottenham Hostpur's Champions League trip to face Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night, according to the club's official website.
Spurs will also be without long-term absentee Erik Lamela, although manager Mauricio Pochettino said he was 'happy' with the 25-year-old's progress after he played 60 minutes for the development side over the weekend.
It was the Argentine's first action in over a year following a serious hip problem and he may be available for first-team selection in around a month's time.
Wanyama has not featured since the second match of the Premier League season thanks to a knee injury but as of yet there is no timescale for his return.

The Prettiest Solar Car in the World Comes From Bochum
Solar cars aren't traditionally thought of as being pretty. The University of Bochum, however, put some thought into the aesthetics of the car they brought to Australia's World Solar Challenge this year and it paid off – they didn't finish the race, but they did get a prize anyway.
The prize given to the University of Bochum was not for participation – it was the third time in a row the university has won the Design Award, which is presented to vehicles which innovatively and spectacularly embody the theme of electric mobility within the confines of the rules of the World Solar Challenge.
Overall, the team only placed 26th – it was one of the vast majority of solar cars that didn't finish the race under its own power. Only 7 cars, in fact, drove the entire distance down to Adelaide; the rest were packed up into their support convoys and straggled in, victims of bush fires, rain, and generally bad weather.
Team chief Tim Skerra is happy to have the award anyway – pretty didn't help them finish or even finish the race, but at least it got them a prize to take home.

Frequently patting himself on the back, the classic program's producer and head writer herein tells the backstage tale. The tape is less an abridgment of the book he wrote with his brother Gregg than an audio "version," with audio snippets from the series and its radio predecessor, "My Favorite Husband." However dubious it may be as TV history, the audio gains considerable grace and charm from these excerpts, as well as from the fascinating anecdotes and the amiable, codgerly narration of Larry Dobkin. A very enjoyable listen and a must for "Lucy" fans. Y.R. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 00]

Common Ground Montgomery
CGM is a new ministry that is being undertaken by a seminary mate of mine, Bryan Kelly. This is a ministry that is at least somewhat patterned off Mo Leverett's influential Desire Street ministry in New Orleans. Bryan Kelly is a very good friend of mine, and has a real heart for racial reconciliation and inner-city youth ministry. Montgomery Alabama is a racially divided city not only geographically, but also conceptually. BK and his family have moved into a house in the inner-city neighborhood where they will be ministering, and he has a job lined up at a local high school to work with youth in the neighborhood. He doesn't have a website set up yet, and as part of getting the ministry going, he is trying to raise prayerful and financial support for the ministry. Some of the local churches in the area have expressed an interest in lending financial support and partnering with him, but I don't think anything has been firmly nailed down on that score to date. Meanwhile, BK and his family are trying to jumpstart this ministry and go through the necessary steps of ordination.
To anyone who reads this blog, and particularly evangelicals who have a heart for poverty ministry and are looking for a good evangelical ministry to support, please let me know and I will put you in touch with Bryan. He is doing yeoman's work in that city, and in 10 years, he may be a household name in PCA circles much like Mo Leverett is now. I studied with him for 3 years at seminary, and he's the real deal. He's been doing campus ministry and field work in urban areas for years; he knows what he's doing. He has a solid yet radical vision, and he and his family are completely committed to it. He has a Kingdom vision of urban revitalization, education, hope, and racial reconciliation and mutual growth under the Lordship of Christ. This is the kind of vision that God blesses, and those of us who partner with him on the ground floor will be blessed to be part of something like this. I humbly ask that any readers of this blog prayerfully consider becoming a part of this ministry through prayer and financial giving. And if any of you happen to reside in the Montgomery area and would like to volunteer, BK will certainly listen eagerly and be appreciative of your interest. Tell him 'Spidey' sent ya!

Weeks, Chairman, President, and CEO, Corning Inc.Providing near-instant gratification on Amazon's scale isn't cheap. Last year the company spent $11.5 billion on shipping—nearly twice what it did two years ago. Along with leasing jets and buying trailers, Amazon has opened more than 28 sorting centers, 59 delivery stations that feed packages to local couriers, and more than 65 Prime Now hubs stocked with best-selling items that can be rushed to customers around the world, according to MWPVL International, a Montreal-based supply chain consultant. "This year we estimate Amazon is going to sell 7.2 billion items," says Gene Munster, an internet industry analyst at Piper Jaffray. "In 2020, which is only four years away, we expect them to sell 12.6 billion items."**In June, Deutsche Bank released a report predicting that Amazon will eventually have a global shipping operation capable of moving goods directly from factories in China to customers in the U.S. and Europe, using not just 767s and container ships, but also self-driving trucks and drones. The report also said Amazon has a patent for "anticipatory package shipping" technology, which is just what it sounds like: When some Prime subscriber buys more deodorant, Amazon already has the box standing by, ready to label and ship. "It's just one giant math exercise," Deutsche Bank wrote, adding that Amazon has "hundreds of Ph.D. mathematicians" who spend their days optimizing logistics.**Others believe that Amazon will make a business out of its delivery network, as it did with Amazon Web Services, thereby challenging the world's leading shipping companies. "I fully expect Amazon to build out a logistics supply chain that others can use," says John Rossman, a former Amazon executive who's now a managing director at the restructuring firm Alvarez & Marsal. "Over the next five years? I doubt it. Over 10 or 15 years? Oh yeah."Earlier I mentioned that the Dash Button has a microphone and the setup procedure is where this comes in. This procedure requires you locate your Dash Button near to the smartphone's speaker where it's configured via sound; according to Matthew Petroff:**I have not reverse engineered the audio protocol, but the data seems to be transmitted using audio frequency-shift keying around 18–19 kHz. The app transmits this message 20 times before giving up. Although not mentioned in the documentation, the Dash Button creates a Wi-Fi hotspot when placed in configuration mode, Amazon ConfigureMe, which is used by the Android version of the Amazon Shopping app. Once connected to this hotspot, a web page is accessible at 192.168.0.1 via HTTP, which allows for configuring the Button's Wi-Fi connection settings. However, the Amazon App is still required to finish setting up the Button. When connecting via HTTPS, a certificate signed by the Amazon.com Internal Root Certificate Authority and issued to Amazon.com Infosec CA G2 is presented, which expires 2016-06-22.

By Laparoscopic SolutionsPosted On 21-11-2017
The pancreas is an organ that is often overlooked although they play an important role in the production of enzymes for digestion. Hence pancreatic cancer is also not easily detected or talked upon often. Pancreatic cancer occurs due to the presence of abnormal cell growth that multiplies swiftly to form tumors within the pancreas.
With the advent of laparoscopy, surgery for pancreatic cancer also called laparoscopic pancreatectomy has become a popular treatment option. When conducted by a skilled and efficient laparoscopic surgeon, laparoscopic pancreatectomy is relatively riskless than the conventional surgery procedure.
Dr. RK Sinha has made a name for himself in the field of laparoscopic surgeries, with his proficiency in the field. The doctor has had a wealth of experiences in handling different cases successfully. He is considered as one of the best laparoscopic and bariatric surgeon in the India.
Laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic cancer is also associated with faster recovery, smaller incisions, less bleeding or blood loss, complications or infections. The patient can return to daily life faster than the conventional treatment. Laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic cancer is also associated with a high rate of success.
So what are the possible manifestations of pancreatic cancer?
As the cancer of the pancreas is not much talked about, people are less aware of the disease. However, it is imperative to watch out vomiting or nausea, abdominal pain and discoloration of eyes and skin as in jaundice. The disease is also associated with fatigue, unexplained weight loss, and weakness.
More about the laparoscopic surgery for pancreatic cancer
Once the presence of abnormal growth is detected with CT scan, MRI scan endoscopic ultrasound or any such diagnostic procedure, a laparoscopic procedure can be conducted to collect cells for biopsy or to remove the unwanted growth.
The procedure is conducted with the help of a laparoscope after the administration of general anesthesia. The incisions are small and hence help in faster recovery and minimal blood loss.
