Here's the plan:
Step 1: Travel to the area near the Canadian border in Montana (or Idaho, North Dakota)
Step 2: Start speaking Spanish near a CBP officer
Step 3; Profit

You know what would help repair trust in the US government in the next Administration?
Admit wrongdoing. Come out on these settlements and just say that we've had some horrifically racist assholes working in CBP, ICE, and other LEO capacities and we really farked up in failing to keep them from being horrifically racist assholes. This crap where you pay people to go away, slap an NDA on everything gathered in the case and in the settlement, and walk away like nothing happened is the sort of crap you'd expect from Harvey Weinstein or ExxonMobil. It shouldn't be the standard with the US government.

Every chance I get.
I see a fatal flaw in your plan. NOBODY goes to Montana, Idaho or North Dakota. I have never met anybody who actually even lives there. I suspect there are no such places, that they are just a figment of the imagination created by Repubs to have 6 extra senators.

It added that the settlement "is in no way intended to be, and should not be construed as, an admission of liability or fault on the part of the United States, its agents, servants, or employees, and it is specifically denied that they are liable to the plaintiffs."
We were going to be found guilty as fark and if we found guilty or admit guilt it can set a record of us violating people's constitutional rights and we will be behind on any future investigations both criminal and civil.

I guarantee the settlement was like $30,000 each, the lawyer gets a third ($10k) and they each get $20,000, which is like $12.5k after tax.
That is my car being paid off. Which ain't bad.
Being detained for 40 minutes ain't good, but I'd take 3 years of car payments for 40 minutes of inconvenience and a few hours with a lawyer.

CSB Time.
I was flying back to Colombia from the states and our plane got rerouted to Atlanta and we had a layover where they would not let us off.
So, normally I loathe people who use their phones on a plane, but I had to call the wife.
So I call her and sh asked me(keep in mind the convo is in Spanish) if I were going to be in time for my brother in law to grab me at the airport. So I say in Spanish OJALA.
Which means God Willing, O Allah, but when the Moors were done banging Christopher Walken's grandma in Sicily, they trotted over to Spain to get some o dat ass. So, needless to say, like many things in this world, there are a lot of Arabic leftovers that no one knows about.
So the old lady next to me gets up to go to the bathroom.
A little while later the stewardess comes to me and asks me to get my things. I am puzzled.
Turns out the little old lady when to the flight crew and told them there was an Arab guy who was gonna hijack the plane.
So they moved me to first class. Then she complained she should have moved me to first class. I also got first class on the return flight.
"It is a small place and we have a lot of agents here and nobody really has much to do," an unnamed border protection supervisor told attorneys with the ACLU in a videotaped deposition.

The case emerged after Suda took a videoof the May 2018 interaction in which she asked Agent Paul O'Neill why he was questioning them.
"Ma'am, the reason I asked you for your ID is because I came in here and I saw that you guys are speaking Spanish, which is very unheard of up here," O'Neill said in the video. Suda and Hernandez had valid Montana drivers licenses.
O'Neill, and a supervisor who arrived later made it clear through words and actions that the women were not free to leave the convenience store parking lot, ACLU attorney Alex Rate wrote in the lawsuit.
After the settlement was reached, O'Neill returned to the dugout and slammed his batting helmet repeatedly against a Gatorade cooler, until Agent Bernie Williams was able to calm him down by playing a soothing jazz guitar solo.

Second CSB of thread.
I was flying from Orlando to New Orleans about 20 years ago on a round trip flight i got for 100 bucks. Last minute, no plans to go, but could not pass it up. It was my high school reunion weekend and the ex high school squeeze was flying in from Turkey and I was already in the states from Colombia, so I was all in.
The bad thing is the flight from Orlando went to Miami and then to Nola, but hey 100 bucks.
So I got to MIAMI for my three hour layover. I hammer a couple of Jack and Coke doubles and wrap my back pack strap around my leg and doze odd.
Oddly enough I am wearing Khakis, a Jack Daniels Tshirt, and a Saints Cap.
Next thing I know I am being hauled off into a room by force and am being questioned by two DEA agents.
Someone told them that a Latino with a back pack and a baseball cap had some american dollars he was trying to smuggle into Colombia.
They ask to see my ID, and unfortunately I open my wallet and my Colombian ID is up front, cause I just got back.
I told them if they checked my tickets I was on my way to NOLA for a high school reunion. And I might have have asked them which one was Crocket and which one was Tubbs.
They let me go, apologized to me, because i said "I was the only latino in the airport with a backpack and a baseball cap, in the Miami Airport." And I was dressed like farking Chet American man.

Certain complexions of Chicanos get mistaken for Persian easily (and vice versa). My dad has been mistaken for Iraqi by Iranians and Iranian by Iraqi. People have come up to me speaking Farsi on several occasions, and my "WTF?" look usually clues them in that they have to speak English (or not Farsi, at least).
Fortunately, nobody at border crossing has given me crap. Mainly because I learned both languages at the same time, my English doesn't have a Mexican accent and my Mexican doesn't have an English accent.

But the USA has no official language.
The founding fathers did that by design since the USA is originally a county of immigrants and didn't wish to favor any one culture over another. Trump's America is the antithesis of what America is meant to represent.
it was the ACLU so it may have been done pro bono. also it's a settlement which IIRC are tax free.

Trump's amazing tax plan now taxes it as earned income.... and they even double dip. So you have to pay taxes on the portion that went to the lawyer too. And then the lawyer has to pay taxes on that also.

According to a latest report on the Internet, Google was speculated to shut down the Hangouts chat client in the year 2020. However, Google Real Time Communications Product Lead, Scott Johnson took to Twitter to refute the report and confirmed that Google has no plans to shutdown the chat client yet.
The top executive from Google has called out 9to5Google for the initial report stating that the search engine giant has no plans to kill its popular chat client. Instead, Johnson reveals that the existing users of Hangouts will be migrated to Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet. Notably, the Hangouts Chat and Hangouts Meet are the paid corporate iteration and offer secure communications between individuals and various team. Since being called out, 9to5Google publication has updated its original story to include the quote by top Google executive, but not without claiming further that their sources are pretty sure that Google has already decided to shut down the chat client.
Technically, going by Johnson's quote of Google making Chat and Meet available to general public and migrating existing Hangout users to these platform is an obvious hint that Hangout itself will shutdown. Considering that Google Chat and Meet are premium services that require a G-Suite account, it will be quite a task for Google to transition regular Google users to the premium services. However, Johnson has – in a way – confirmed that the Hangouts as we know it, is going away.
It remains to be seen how and when the Mountain View giant pulls the plug and transition the users to Chat and Meet. We will bring you more updates as and when they turn up, so stay tuned.

New Research Reveals How E-Cigarettes Affect the Lungs
By Wiley
E-cigarettes can cause changes in the lungs at the cellular and molecular level, including changes in the pulmonary immune cell composition and altered gene and protein levels in the lungs, according to the findings of new research on mice.
New research published in The FASEB Journal indicates that e-cigarettes can cause cellular and molecular changes in the lungs. Specifically, prolonged inhalation of e-cigarette aerosols by mice caused changes in the animals' pulmonary immune cell composition and altered gene and protein levels in the lungs.
Investigators found that even low exposure to aerosols from JUUL—a brand of e-cigarettes popular with youth and young adults—had significant impacts.
"The health consequences of vaping are not known. Our results show that inhalation of the vapor generated by a popular brand of e-cigarette causes widespread changes inside the lungs, data that further highlight that these products are not inert and may lead to lung damage if used long term," said corresponding author Carolyn J. Baglole, PhD, of McGill University, in Montreal, Quebec.
Reference: "Chronic low-level JUUL aerosol exposure causes pulmonary immunologic, transcriptomic, and proteomic changes" 25 January 2023, The FASEB Journal.

Q: HTML5 Video causes weird glitch in CSS :hover transition, doesn't work well cross-browser I've got my main page here:
http://thenozzle.net/
The logo at the top of the page is a sprite, switches between top and bottom to give the glow effect. This is done with css transition and :hover pseudo element.
However, I recently added the 'projekktor' HMTL5 video player. It works really well, but if you start the video, then hover of the logo, it glitches out when you mouse-over.
Also, Google Chrome doesn't play the video served from ea.com
The Battlefield 3 clip. Chrome won't play it, these two things are driving me nuts. COuld they be related? What am I doing wrong?
Projekktor homepage: http://www.projekktor.com/
It performs differently in every browser. Horribly slow in Firefox, but it plays. Perfect in Safari, CHrome it won't play at all, but Safari has the glitchy logo. Any ideas?

A: I fixed it. I removed 1 of the two anchors, and removed the headlink text-indent property from the div, and put it on the single anchor. Weird problem, weird solution. For future reference, don't try to text-indent text that buried more then one level deep, on your rollover it will jump back and forth spiratically.

Three in four Greeks see migrants as a burden on the country and more than half believe them to be responsible for crime, a survey of 18 countries that host half of the world's migrants by the Washington-based Pew Research Center has found.
Greece was among the most negative in all the charts indicating locals views toward migrants, ranking on a par with countries such as Hungary and Italy, known for their hardline policies against immigration.
Asked whether they believe that migrants make the country stronger because of their "work and talents" or are a burden because they "take our jobs and social benefits," 74 percent of respondents in Greece said they viewed them as a burden – the highest percentage among all the 18 countries, above Hungary, where 73 percent held a similarly negative view.
Greece was also most negative on the question of whether the country should accept fewer or more migrants, with 82 percent of respondents calling for a reduction in arrivals, against Hungary's 72 percent. Just 2 percent of Greeks saw reason for the country to allow more people in, and 15 percent said current levels are acceptable.

Eric Esch (* 3. August 1966 in Bay City, Michigan), besser bekannt unter seinem Spitznamen Eric Butterbean, ist ein ehemaliger US-amerikanischer Boxer, MMA-Fighter und Wrestler, der auch in anderen Kampfsportarten aktiv ist.

Eric Esch war Fabrikarbeiter und stieg dann in den professionellen Boxsport ein. Er trägt den eigens für ihn kreierten Titel eines "Superschwergewichtsweltmeisters" und wird zudem auch "König der vier Runden" genannt, da seine meisten Kämpfe nur über die Distanz von vier Runden angesetzt wurden. Seinen Spitznamen "Butterbean" bekam Eric Esch, da er einst eine Diät mit Limabohnen (zu Englisch: lima beans oder eben butter beans) absolvierte. Inzwischen ist er auch Kämpfer im K-1 und Pride.

Kampfbilanz
Neben den Boxkämpfen bestritt Esch fünf Kämpfe im K-1, davon zwei Siege, einen durch K. o. und drei Niederlagen, ebenso eine durch K. o. Am 31. Dezember 2003 verlor er seinen ersten MMA-Kampf gegen Genki Sudo beim K1 Premium Dynamite. Ab dem 25. Februar 2005 begann seine MMA-Karriere mit einem Unentschieden gegen Michael Buchkowitsch. Am 20. Januar 2006 bezwang er beim Rumble on the Rocks 8 auf Hawaii den MMA-Veteranen Wesley Correia. In einem Interview mit dem berühmten, amerikanischen Boxsportreporter Benny Henderson Jr kündigte Esch sein baldiges Debüt im japanischen PRIDE FC an. Im Oktober 2005 verlor "Butterbean" dann seinen Debütkampf im PRIDE FC gegen den japanischen MMA-Popstar Ikuhisa Minowa in der ersten Runde durch Aufgabe.
Wenig später konnte Eric Esch dann aber seinen ersten Sieg im Pride verzeichnen. Nachdem der bekannte neuseeländische K-1- und PRIDE-Kämpfer Mark Hunt sein Duell gegen "Butterbean" beim PRIDE 32 The Real Deal kurzfristig hatte absagen müssen, sprang der junge Wrestling-Shooting-Star Sean O'Haire für ihn ein. Eric Esch knockte den jungen Amerikaner aber bereits nach nur 31 Sekunden durch mehrere Schläge an den Kopf aus.

Bis zum 18. September 2010 bestritt Esch 21 MMA-Kämpfe: zwölf Siege, acht Niederlagen und ein Unentschieden.

K-1-Kampfbilanz

MMA-Kampfbilanz

Titel
Am 15. Oktober 2005 verlor Eric Esch den Titelkampf um den NABC-Superschwergewicht-Titel gegen George Linberger nach Punkten. Seit dem 12. April 1997 verteidigte er jedoch den unbedeutenden IBA-Superschwergewicht-Titel vier Mal und ist immer noch Inhaber des Gürtels. Seine Gegner waren jedoch in der Regel unterdurchschnittlich.

Wichtige Ereignisse

Larry Holmes, von 1978 bis 1985 Weltmeister im Schwergewicht, beleidigte in seinen Memoiren Eric Esch aufgrund von Aussehen und Kampfstil aufs Schärfste. Daraufhin forderte dieser den 52 Jahre alten Holmes zum Kampf heraus. Der Kampf fand am 27. Juli 2002 wirklich statt und der frühere Weltmeister und 17 Jahre ältere Holmes besiegte Butterbean über zehn Runden nach Punkten. Dabei wurde Holmes in der letzten Runde angezählt, nachdem er ohne Schlageinwirkung ausgerutscht und kurz zu Boden gegangen war.

Er trat zweimal bei der damaligen WWF (heute WWE) an: am 7. Dezember 1997 bei D-Generation X: In Your House gegen Marc Mero und am 28. März 1999 bei Wrestlemania 15 gegen Bart Gunn in einem Brawl for all Match an, welches er gewann. Weitere Kämpfe bei WWE folgten nicht.

Am 26. Juni 1999 fand der Boxkampf zwischen Peter McNeeley und Eric Esch in Las Vegas statt. Die auf zehn Runden angesetzte Begegnung dauerte nur 2 Minuten und 59 Sekunden, da der Ringrichter den Kampf aufgrund mehrerer schwerer Kopftreffer von Esch gegen McNeeley abbrach und Esch somit zum Sieger erklärte.

Am 29. Juni 2003 begab sich der schwergewichtige US-Amerikaner zum ersten Mal in den K-1-Ring und gewann direkt zum Auftakt den Kampf gegen Yusuke Fujimoto durch K. o. in der ersten Runde. Nachdem er so die Kritik der Presse hatte abprallen lassen, verlor er jedoch drei folgende Kämpfe im K-1. Gegen Mike Bernardo verlor der US-Amerikaner zum ersten Mal überhaupt einen Fight durch K. o., aufgrund eines Tritts an den Kopf.

Eric Esch erlebte 2001 sogar ein kurzes Filmdebüt, als er in Jackass: The Movie den Hauptdarsteller und Stuntman Johnny Knoxville in einem außergewöhnlichen Boxkampf in einem Kaufhaus k.o. schlug.

Am 9. März 2007 stieg der Amerikaner in Worcester (USA) gegen seinen Landsmann Joe Siciliano in den Boxring. Nachdem Butterbean am Vortag bereits die Waage mit über 189 Kilogramm gesprengt hatte, wurde klar, dass dieser Kampf einer der schwergewichtigsten in der Boxsporthistorie überhaupt werden würde. Sein Gegner war mit 147 Kilogramm Kampfgewicht ebenfalls ein echtes Superschwergewicht. Einen Boxkampf mit zwei Kontrahenten, deren Gesamtgewicht über 320 Kilogramm betrug, gab es noch nie zuvor in den USA. In der zweiten von vier Runden schickte Eric Esch seinen Gegner insgesamt vier Mal zu Boden, bevor die Ecke von Siciliano das Handtuch warf.

Sein Sohn Brandon Esch, genannt "Babybean", ist am 9. März 2007 ebenfalls, zum Profidebüt, in den Boxring gestiegen. Er verlor allerdings schon in der ersten Runde durch K. o. Seitdem nimmt Butterbeans Sohn nur noch an MMA-Kämpfen teil.

Am 7. November 2007 sollte Eric Esch gegen seinen Landsmann Jimmy Ambriz beim Xcess MMA in einem Titelkampf im Superschwergewicht antreten, er tauchte jedoch zum offiziellen Wiegen am Vorabend in Hollywood nicht auf und wurde von der Fightcard gestrichen, obwohl Butterbean zuvor bereits Interviews und Fototermine wahrnahm.

Seit dem 18. Oktober 2008 strahlt der amerikanische Fernsehsender CMT die Reality-Show Hulk Hogan's Celebrity Champion Wrestling aus, in welcher Eric Esch als prominenter Wrestler gegen andere amerikanische Stars im professional wrestling antritt. Unter der Leitung von Hulk Hogan, der zusammen mit anderen professionellen Wrestlern zwei verschiedene Prominenten-Teams unterrichtet, finden inszenierte Wrestlingkämpfe statt. Eric Esch war der erste Prominente, der von Hulk Hogan und dem Sender CMT gecastet wurde.

I'm in the alpine meadows. The sun is rising. It is an absolutely beautiful day.
I was told before the race that the sun coming up is a magical moment that will give you the energy to keep going through the second day.
Jokes on me. I was in full vampire mode.
This part of the course is rolling, and seems to go on forever and ever. Even more so when you're exhausted and it's starting to get warm again and you continue to think the next aid station is just around the bend but you keep going around the bend to find more rolling hills and more rolling hills and vast amounts of glorious alpine meadows which you can no longer appreciate because you're exhausted and moving like a snail again and just need to get to the next..... damn.... aid.... station.

CASE STUDY: Clearing helps Ben find his life's calling in art
"I started University a year early because Clearing was so easy."
Ben Branson, 33, from Wellington, Shropshire, came to study art at the University of Wolverhampton a year earlier than planned due to the ease of applying through Clearing and the option to complete a foundation year.
The BA (Hons) Fine Art student decided to study a degree after realising he wanted to do something he was passionate about and have a career, instead of moving between various jobs as he'd been doing previously.
In his case, Ben believes his life's calling is art. It was something he'd enjoyed from a very young age, with one of his earliest memories being him "scribbling around on paper".
Originally, Ben thought the admissions process to university would take a long time, so mentally prepared himself to start in September 2021, but seeing the Clearing Hotline on the University of Wolverhampton's website, he decided to call in and discuss his options.
He said: "It was incredible. The process to come via Clearing was a lot easier and less stressful than I thought coming to university would be.
"Because it made everything so quick and easy, I was able to start a year earlier than I'd planned.
"With coming onto a foundation year, I was a lot more confident that I'd be able to get through the degree."
A foundation year prepares students for university level study. It begins with modules aimed at providing transferable study skills and then, in the second semester, gives students the opportunity to study more specialist modules, starting to focus on their areas of study ahead of commencing degree-level study.
One of the biggest draws of coming to the University for Ben was being part of a like-minded, artistic community.
He said: "I've made art quite a lot, pretty much since I could walk, but it's always been in a vacuum.
"It's been so good and refreshing to be around other artists, discussing and sharing ideas and working together.
"Also the School of Art is incredible. It's exactly the type of environment that I love to be in; the smells of the materials, the little dobs of paint over everything. I just love it."
On a final note, Ben added: "I'd like to thank the staff who have really helped me through this difficult year. I know it's been tough for them as well, they've had to do a lot of changing around on the fly, so hats off to them."
For anyone who already has the results of their qualifications, applications can be made through Clearing from Monday 5 July. Our Clearing webpage provides further information on all the courses we have available in Clearing. Applications can be made either by calling our Clearing Team on 01902 51 8585 or through our social media channels on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.

So here we are on the verge of Thanksgiving. We have so many things to be thankful for, even though we can get caught up in the day-to-day whirlwind of life: school, chickens, garden work, cleaning up to host family for the holiday.
I've slowed down enough for a quick reflection here, just before I dash to meet the bus. If a picture is worth a thousand words, here are a few thousand words of gratitude from our homestead to yours.
Daddy and daughter celebrate another season of dance completed. My Hearts.
The dog I always dreamed of…even though she can be a dork at times. She's a great companion to my new work.
Chickens give us healthy eggs and meat while they improve our soil. They are also very entertaining. Henny Penny, pictured above, finally got to brood a clutch of eggs and be a momma to an Icelandic chick.
The hoop house. Building it was a huge undertaking, but the benefits of this protected growing environment are phenomenal. We have just scratched the surface. I'm already planning for next season.
Nothing can compare to doing work that you truly believe in. This was a great season of learning for me. Thank you to everyone who bought our veggies this year at DeJong Acres. I'd love to hear from you!
Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving this weekend…or in November…or both!


Be secure. I am 34 years old and have just come to the conclusion that a lot of the trials, troubles and tribulations I have experienced in my short lifetime are due to me being insecure.
I see it everywhere I look - men, women, close friends, family members - insecurity is not prejudice. It attacks all walks of life and stumps people's growth potential as a human being.
I want our little girl to know that she most definitely is special. That she does not need to lower her standards for everyone. That her power to say yes or no is hers alone and not up for anyone else to dictate. That she is ALWAYS beautiful - inside and out. I want her to know that she doesn't have to be the best and that doing her best is what counts. That winning isn't everything because the experience - her experience - is what counts and matters. That the feeling of jealousy is evil and having her own thoughts, plans and individuality will make her own person and that is so important in life. She is original and should be proud of that. Always. Be a leader, never a follower my dear - you are going to go places!
I just want her to know that she is loved, she has the power to love herself, she is a brave female and if she does her best, no one can fault her for that.
I want her life to be easier than mine. Throughout my 20's (especially) I made my life much harder than it needs to be. Today life is easy because I focus on what's important, what matters. I want to teach her these skills early so she can enjoy the peace of mind I'm starting to enjoy - without waiting until her 30's to enjoy it.
Here's to you beautiful baby girl ... Cheers to a life of security, happiness, originality, strength, health and gratitude. I already know you will be your best and you are already loved. Can't wait to meet you!

Fennel, or finocchio, as it's called in Italian, is an important ingredient in Sicilian cuisine. It grows wild across Sicily throughout spring and into summer, and is the principal ingredient after sardines for pasta con le sarde. But wild fennel isn't the same as the bulb fennel that we are familiar with in the US. In fact, wild fennel (finocchio selvatico) only grows naturally in Northern California here in the States, and isn't so easy to come by in markets anywhere else in the country. In this photo, to show you the difference, on the left is domesticated bulb fennel–not the same plant or ingredient as what is used in pasta con le sarde, and next to it is a dried wild fennel stalk and its flower. They look different because they are. Both plants do have fronds (the little green leaves, not shown here on the dried wild fennel), but the aroma and flavor of the wild fennel is much more licorice-y than the bulb fennel. In the lemon dish is a wild fennel pate' that I brought home from Palermo. Sicilians jar and preserve wild fennel so that they can enjoy pasta con le sarde or similar dishes throughout the year.

With these witty but also biting words, Jesus causes his listeners – then and today – to carefully examine their own lives. Are we going about accusing others of minor shortcomings when, in fact, we ourselves are ignoring our own behavior? If so, we are hypocrites. Once our hypocrisy is removed, then we are in a position to help others.
Unfortunately, one obstacle to the acceptance of Christianity that is often raised is provided by Christians themselves. Phrased in many ways, the core of the objection is, "If Christianity is true, why are there hypocrites in the church?" In other words, if Christianity is really supposed to change people, then why do some who profess to believe in Jesus set such bad examples? This article will answer the "hypocrisy objection" to Christianity. But first, let's explore the definition of hypocrisy in general, as well as in a biblical sense.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines hypocrisy as follows: "The assuming of a false appearance of virtue or goodness, with dissimulation of real character or inclinations, esp. in respect of religious life or beliefs; hence in general sense, dissimulation, pretense, sham. Also, an instance of this." It defines hypocrite in this manner: "One who falsely professes to be virtuously or religiously inclined; one who pretends to have feelings or beliefs of a higher order than his real ones; hence generally, a dissembler, pretender." The Compact Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991), s.v., "hypocrisy," "hypocrite."
In simpler terms, a hypocrite is someone who not only does not practice what one preaches, but a person who does the opposite of what one preaches. A parent holding a beer and smoking a cigarette who admonishes a child not to drink or smoke, for instance, may be viewed as being a hypocrite by the child.
Similarly, critics of Christianity who raise the hypocrisy objection usually point to some moral failure in the lives of Christians they know as examples of Christianity being false or at least highly suspect. "See!" they exclaim. "There goes another hypocrite in the church! How can I believe Christianity if the church is full of hypocrites?"
Before directly answering the question, we'll take a brief look at biblical examples of hypocrisy.
"Hypocrisy" or variations of it appear 17 times in the NIV translation of the Bible. Often it is Christ calling people hypocrites (see, for instance, Matthew 6:2, 5, 16; 7:5; 15:7; 22:18; 23:13, 15; 23:23, 25, 27, 29; 24:51; Mark 7:6; Luke 6:42; 12:56; and 13:15). "You hypocrites!" in fact is a recurring phrase.
"Christianity does not stand or fall on the way Christians have acted throughout history or are acting today. Christianity stands or falls on the person of Jesus, and Jesus was not a hypocrite. He lived consistently with what He taught, and at the end of His life He challenged those who had lived with Him night and day, for over three years, to point out any hypocrisy in Him. His disciples were silent, because there was none. Since Christianity depends on Jesus, it is incorrect to try to invalidate the Christian faith by pointing to horrible things done in the name of Christianity." Josh McDowell and Don Stewart, Answers to Tough Questions Skeptics Ask About the Christian Faith (Here's Life Publishers, 1980), 128.
McDowell and Stewart bring up three important points. First, whether or not Christianity is true does not depend on how its adherents behave. This, of course, does not excuse hypocrisy in the church, but neither does it mean that hypocrisy is sufficient reason to dismiss Christianity. Second, Christ was not a hypocrite in any sense of the word. Often even critics agree with this point, exalting the high moral standards of Christ without understanding His larger claims. Third, seemingly hypocritical behavior on a large scale, such as the Inquisition, does not invalidate Christianity, either. Again, this does not excuse hypocritical behavior, but separates it from the center of Christianity: Christ and His claims.
Are all Christians hypocrites? Not at all! In fact, the history of the Christian church is filled with examples of selflessness, courage, moral action and reform and many other positive influences on the world. These are not the acts of hypocrites, but of sincere believers transformed by the resurrected Christ and moved by the Holy Spirit to "do to others what you would have them do to you" (Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31). See, for instance, my booklet What Christianity Has Done for the World (Rose Publishing, 2008) and How Christianity Changed the World by Alvin Schmidt (Zondervan, 2004).
The church is a work in progress (and so are its members). Like a cathedral that may take decades or centuries to complete, the process is long and arduous, but someday it will be complete and stand as a beautiful testimony to the power of Christ to transform lives for the better. Remember, too, that only some professing Christians act hypocritically. What about all those who do not? What about all those who consistently live out the love of Christ in the world?
Until the church and all followers of Christ are glorified, there will, unfortunately, be hypocrites in the church. What's important to remember, however, is that this does not negate Christianity or the claims of Christ. In addition, accusations of hypocrisy assume that there is a moral standard that hypocrites break. But where does this standard come from? In this sense, the hypocrisy objection actually supports the reality of a transcendent, moral lawgiver (that is, God), rather that argue against Him.
We must also remember that, biblically speaking, "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus" (Romans 3:23-24). In other words, no one is perfect and all are dependent on Christ for redemption, salvation and growth in spiritual maturity. On the one hand, Christians should not act hypocritically, lest we provide critics with a flimsy reason to reject the gospel message. On the other hand, critics should know better than to attempt to throw out Christianity and all of Christ's claims on the basis of the hypocrisy objection.

Samuel James Renwick McMillan (February 22, 1826 – October 3, 1897) was an American lawyer, judge and Republican politician. He served on the Minnesota District Court, the Minnesota Supreme Court and as U.S. Senator from Minnesota.
McMillan was born in Brownsville, Pennsylvania in 1826. His parents Thomas Long and Jane McMillan (née Gormly) were of Scottish and Irish ancestry. He attended the Western University of Pennsylvania in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and studied law under Edwin M. Stanton, graduating in 1846. In 1850 he married Harriet Butler. McMillan and his wife moved to Minnesota in 1852, initially settling in Stillwater and later moving to St. Paul.[1][2]
When Minnesota achieved statehood in 1858 McMillan was named as the first judge of the newly formed Minnesota District Court. During the Dakota War of 1862 McMillan served as a Second Lieutenant in a militia unit known as the Stillwater Frontier Guards which was only briefly active.[2][3] In 1864 he was appointed to the Minnesota Supreme Court as one of two new justices to replace the recently resigned Justices Charles Eugene Flandrau and Isaac Atwater. In 1874 he was promoted to Chief Justice to replace Christopher G. Ripley who had also resigned. In 1875, the Minnesota Legislature elected him to serve as U.S. Senator. He served in the 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 48th, and 49th United States Congresses from March 4, 1875, to March 4, 1887.[4][5]
McMillan did not stand for re-election in 1886 and returned to his law practice after the end of his term. He died in Saint Paul on October 3, 1897. He is buried in Oakland Cemetery in St. Paul, Minnesota.[5][6]

MCALESTER, Okla. -- Michael E. Pankratz gave Spec. Ronnie H. Brown of the 478th Transportation Company the diagnosis: "One of her eyes got knocked out, she doesn't look good," he said of the vehicle's headlight.
Pankratz, an Oklahoma native, is a quality assurance supervisor at McAlester Army Ammunition Plant, or MCAAP. Standing in the hot Oklahoma sun July 6, Pankratz and about two dozen members of the 478th meticulously inspected the enormous M1025 Palletized Load System vehicles they would be training on for the next two weeks.
The 478th deployed to Oklahoma as part of Joint Munitions Command's training operation known as Golden Cargo. The operation takes place across the western half the United States as service members from the U.S. Army Reserve, National Guard and Navy work alongside civilians in the handling and shipping of ammunition to strategic locations. Almost 300 Soldiers and Sailors from six different units converged on MCAAP to participate in the operation.
A unique feature of Golden Cargo is that it isn't simply training as reserve-component units perform an actual essential mission during the exercise. Members of the 478th say they enjoy the training for the hands-on experience.
"When you do Golden Cargo, you do your job, what you'll be doing in reality," said Sgt. 1st Class Christopher D. Washington, 478th truck master from San Diego.
The five-axle PLS trucks they are inspecting will be responsible for shipping tons of ordnance and ammo that will eventually go out to all branches of the military.
"We're really excited that we're actually dealing with something big," said Spc. Pollyanna F. Tanuvasa of Barstow, Calif., assistant motor operator in the 478th. "Usually we're just supporting one company. But here we're helping with ammo for all the services."
Brown, of Vicksburg, Miss., joked about sweating out a couple of pounds in the heat, but said the 100-degree weather was just another part of the training.
"The heat is good preparation for deployment. The only difference is we've got rocks instead of sand. This is good for people who haven't deployed yet," said Brown. "It'll give them a good chance to find out what it's like to work in these kinds of conditions."
Pankratz, a civilian MCAAP employee with a military background, looks forward to the annual operation and is impressed by the motivation of the troops.
"I like it. I enjoy working with the Soldiers. I look out here and say 'by golly, these guys want to work,'" said Pankratz. "If you have any wrench turners, I always say let's put them to work."
Spc. Yulgye M. Echavarria of San Diego Calif., a wheeled vehicle mechanic for the 478th wants all the experience he can get to keep his skills sharp for future deployments.
Reviewing an electrical diagram for the headlight he is about to replace he said, "If a headlight can go wrong here, it will definitely go wrong there," referring to deployments.
Pankratz gives his approval of the Soldiers, "When you let them work, they are good."


See photo of darker red flowers from Woottens of Wenhaston.
"The deepest, darkest, velvety red, single, narrow petaled flowers with the purest gold stamens. July-Nov. The foliage is finely cut and a darkish green. Ht. 90cm. Sp. 60cm. Sun. Moist well drained soil." from Woottens of Wenhaston.
"Cosmos x dahlia 'Mexican Black' is a rich red flowered plant that on first glance looks like a dahlia, but is in fact a cross between a dahlia and a cosmos.
It's very much the sort of plant that I love. It produces large dhalia like tubers and will probably need winter protection. We've only had it one season and we are selling our surplus stock here at the show.
The flowers are borne on long stems and it has only just started to flower, so it will be a late flowering plant, ideal for a summer/autumn border. " from Article Weird and Wonderful by Jean Vernon posted on 23 July 2008 onto My Garden - The RHS's online community for gardeners - "Need some gardening advice?
You can read and comment on blogs from our gardeners and other contributors, view their photos and participate in our forums".
Scented black flowers like chocolate cosmos above the mound of dark green pinnate foliage Jun-Oct, 75cm. Perennial. Responds well to good living." from Cotswold Garden Flowers. It might respond well to good living but champagne may suit it!!
"Apparently from a wild collection in Mexico, this has very dark black-red, slightly scented flowers with crinkled petals on stems to about 90cm above deep green divided foliage. Treat as a Dahlia and leave in with a mulch or dig up and store over winter." from Pan-Global Plants - "Founded by Nick Macer, Pan-Global Plants is a specialist plant nursery located in the Severn Valley of Gloucestershire in England. Pan Global provides an inspiring selection of the finest, most desirable and often rarest plants capable of growing on these isles. Many nurseries use the words 'rare' and 'unusual', but here we mean it in it's true sense. Rare does not necessarily mean hard to grow; some may be a challenge but many are perfectly easy and can be immensely satisfying and rewarding.
It has been a very long time since I offered mail-order at PGP and for good reason, it's a bit of a pain in the neck. I would always much rather welcome people to my own little slice of paradise here in Gloucestershire, though I also appreciate how many of you are often just too far away for a visit. That and the way the world is going these days, with everything deliverable to your door at the click of a keyboard, has made me re-think my mail-order policy.
So from January 2014 I am offering a full mail-order service to the UK and all countries within the EU. I am not operating a 'web shop' from my website, so please just select plants from the database/catalogue and email me (Visiting and Contact page) with your list of desired plants. I shall then advise on price and availability as well as the cost to send them to you."
