About Blue Bloods
Blue Bloods is a drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York Police Commissioner, and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry, during his stint as Chief. A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son, Danny, a seasoned detective, family man and Iraq War vet who on occasion uses dubious tactics to solve cases with his partner, Detective Maria Baez.
The Reagan women in the family include Erin, a New York Assistant D.A. who also serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father, as well as a single parent to her teenage daughter, Nicky. Jamie is the youngest Reagan, a Harvard Law graduate and the family's "golden boy." Unable to deny the family tradition, Jamie decided to give up a lucrative future in law and follow in the family footsteps as a cop. He's found a friend and ally in Eddie, his female partner who keeps him on his toes, and has very different reasons than the Reagans for joining the police force.
After several years of working together, Jamie and Eddie finally succumbed to their strong feelings for one another and tied the knot.

A systematic review of direct acting antiviral therapies in hepatitis C virus-negative liver transplant recipients of hepatitis C-viremic donors

The introduction of safe and highly effective direct acting antivirals (DAAs) has significantly improved hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment outcomes after transplant. The solid organ transplant community has sought to identify strategies aimed at increasing the donor pool including the utilization of HCV-viremic organs in HCV-negative recipients. We will review the existing literature to evaluate DAA use for the treatment of HCV viremia post-liver transplant in patients who receive HCV-viremic allografts. A PubMed search was conducted and references for each study were also reviewed to identify additional articles. Randomized controlled trials, cohort studies, case series, and case reports were included if: published in English language, evaluated DAA treatment outcomes after liver only or simultaneous liver-kidney transplantation with HCV-viremic allografts in HCV-negative recipients, and had full-text article availability. Our review included 16 studies and 2 case reports. The majority of liver transplant recipients were treated with a pangenotypic DAA for 12 weeks with a heterogeneous median time to initiation (range 1.7-118 days). Sustained virologic response was assessed in 253 liver transplant patients with 99.6% achieving cure with minimal DAA-attributed adverse drug events. There were 23 reported episodes of rejection, 12 deaths, and 1 graft loss among all studies. Treatment with DAA after transplantation of HCV-viremic livers into HCV-negative recipients appears to be safe and effective; however, long-term outcomes remain unknown. Transplant pharmacists play a key role in the development of center-specific protocols to optimize post-transplant outcomes in this unique patient population.

The DC Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) is the first federally funded voucher program in the United States, providing scholarships of up to $7,500 for low-income residents of the District of Columbia to send their children to local participating private schools.
No conclusive evidence that the OSP affected student achievement overall, or for the high-priority group of students who applied from "schools in need of improvement."
Although parents had higher satisfaction and rated schools as safer if their child was offered or used an OSP scholarship, students reported similar ratings for satisfaction and safety regardless of whether they were offered or used a scholarship.
The evaluation also found that the cumulative loss of students between 2004 and 2009 from DC Public Schools (DCPS) to the Program was about 3 percent. In contrast, an estimated 20 percent of students annually change schools or leave DCPS. Thus, OSP-related transfers to private schools may not have been distinguishable from the larger share of other student departures.

A Childhood Dream Come True... Clare & Fergus
Some weddings were just meant to be...
It's not too far from the valleys of Wales to the heart of Ireland in Wicklow, just a short journey for today's lovely couple Clare and Fergus to make to celebrate their gorgeous nuptials in the quaint surroundings of Rathsallagh House, a place very dear to Clare's heart. They were blessed with a glorious Summer's day, perfect for pimms and champers on the lawns and to party til dawn. Planning a wedding from another country, no matter how close, isn't easy, but Clare could rely on a merry band of family and friends to help her and her Welshman celebrate in style. Claire of Ginger Pixel Photography was there to capture all the fun, and we're delighted to share it all with you this fine morning...
So how did this Irish - Welsh union come about? Clare told us their tale... "We met through our mutual love of music (me dancing and Fergus playing). I was living in Cardiff at the time we met and went to see a gig in town, where Fergus was. A group of us got chatting and we all ended up spending the evening together, and at the end of the night Fergus explained that he was moving to Cardiff in a month and asked for my number to meet to for a coffee. A few months later he texted to say he had arrived and did I want to meet for a drink. At this point I genuinely thought this text was a friendship text and nearly brought my housemates with me for company, until they decided at the last minute to stay at home. When we did then meet it was pretty clear very quickly that we weren't going to be just friends." Sounds like it was quite the date!
When it came to popping the question, Fergus gave Clare a birthday present she would never forget as she told us... "Fergus proposed on my 30th birthday. We both live in Cardiff but were back in my home town Dublin to celebrate. We had treated ourselves to a hotel in town and had arrived back in the afternoon. When we got to our bedroom there was a bottle of champagne waiting and beside it lots of birthday presents. So I started to open the gifts and the first one was a cheesy mug which said '30 is the new 21', then Fergus said 'Sure why don't we pour some of the champagne into the mug?' As I took the mug out of its box there was a ring in the mug. You can probably guess the rest, my answer was yes!"
A moment in time...
Clare's beautiful dress is the 'Darcy by Belle & Bunty, a delicate creation with a simple silk bodice and skirt, the beautiful heartshaped neckline with lace sleeves is just gorgeous, but it's the back that really stops the show.
The only way to arrive is in style and Clare and her Dad did. Vintage wheels for the bride-to-be, who arrived to St. Nicholas in Co.Wicklow in a white Citroen DS.
Flowers were a huge part of the day for Clare and Fergus, the most was made of the mid-Summer bounty of beautiful blooms.
Being musically talented themselves, the pair wanted to incorporate music into their ceremony in the most personal way possible, bringing their friends and family into the proceedings. They asked Clare's cousin and a friend to sing as Clare walked up the aisle, Clare's brother sang during the ceremony while another family friend played the organ.
With sweet music serenading them down the aisle the newly weds beamed with joy.
The colour palette on the day was the epitome of summer chic - full of pretty pinks, lilacs and creams. Clare choose soft purple dresses from Dessy for the bridesmaids and the colour combination was perfect.
Having our wedding in Ireland was a priority. Fergus's dad is Irish so he is not unfamiliar with it. We wanted to have a relaxed, fun and traditional day - we really are traditionalists at heart! We wanted a wedding where we felt relaxed and at ease and had plenty of time of mingle with our guests. The pair really lucked out on with the weather (well this summer was phenomenal by Irish standards), meaning their guests could enjoy the lovely surroundings of Rathsallagh during the drinks reception, getting up to all sorts of fun and games.
Rathsallagh was no random choice for the couple, you could almost say it was meant to be - it was in fact, Clare's childhood dream wedding venue... "When I was still at school my parents brought my brothers and I to Rathsallagh for a weekend. I remember thinking that if I was to ever get married I would want to get married there. So when we visited Rathsallagh I had everything crossed that Fergus would feel the same, and I was delighted when he loved it as much as me! We loved the country feel and the beautiful grounds including the stunning tree lit up at night. It was formal, but not too formal, and we felt relaxed there. It really is such a beautiful special place. The staff were amazing and nothing is too much for them. They have so much experience that I trusted them completely, I can't say enough about the place. Plus the food was just fantastic!"
There's that show stopper back! The delicate and feminine detailing is stunning and a nice surprise too!
Our photographer, Claire was amazing as she only took us away from our guests for about 20 minutes! Really our priority was to spend our time with each other, our friends and family as it's not every day you have all of your friends and family in one room!
We were blessed with glorious weather which made the day even more perfect. We both love music and this ran through the day, from the church to the walled garden to the band and the obligatory late night sing song in the grounds of Rathsallagh. Luckily we had the place to ourselves so we didn't wake anyone up (we hope!)
Love the fingerprint tree guestbook? Well, it's actually a copy of the one by our own Susan and you can download your own for free here.
The pair's marquee reception was beautifully decorated with patterned bunting and wild flowers table centerpieces. As music fans the gave their guests cds of their favourite songs as a wedding gift - Apparently the whole gang listened to their cds on the way home the next day!
The flowers were a huge priority for me. I was very lucky that my mother's friend is a florist and she provided us with the most beautiful flowers which were exactly what we had imagined. She decorated two vintage bikes with flowers too which sat outside the church and then outside the venue too,I absolutely loved them! Rathsallagh also provided flowers too in the venue that were just perfect.
The pair's family and bridal party pulled out all the stops when it came to the speeches. From singing songs written by the brides mother to sharing sweet stories about the newlyweds.
What advice would you give to brides and grooms planning their day? Enjoy every minute of the planning and cherish every minute of the day. It will exceed all your expectations. Try not to worry about the little things. Make sure you steal some moments together on the day to take it all in. This was a piece of advice we were given and we are so glad that we did
have some time alone together, even if it was for only 5 mins!
Huge congrats to the lovely Clare and Fergus on their wedding! A big Thank You goes to Claire of Ginger Pixel Photography for sharing her work with us at One Fab Day. To see more of Claire's work pop over to www.gingerpixel.ie.

Ernesto Che Guevara: His Path to Making History in the Americas
A necessary historical, biographical, military atlas
Mireya Castañeda | internet@granma.cu
March 22, 2017 09:03:22
The Atlas histórico, biogra?fico y militar Ernesto Guevara, by authors Reinaldo Espinosa Goitizolo and Guillermo Grau Guardarrama.
THE figure of Ernesto Che Guevara awakens great passions and has become a symbol of universal appeal. One of his portraits, from the lens of Alberto Korda, is one the world's most reproduced images.
This year, the tragic date of October 9 seems even more piercing: 50 years since his assassination in La Higuera, Bolivia. Despite the dozens of books written about Che, the search for information leads inevitably to the Atlas histórico, biográfico y militar Ernesto Guevara, by authors Reinaldo Espinosa Goitizolo and Guillermo Grau Guardarrama, published in Havana, in 1990, by the Pueblo y Educación house, with the support of the Cuban Institute of Geodesy and Cartography.
It is practically a historic encyclopedia, a first volume in which a synthesis of his life and work can be found, beginning with his birth in Argentina, June 14, 1928, through 1956. The authors have reconstructed his life, without gathering eulogies, and have recovered every episode, every path followed.
It is a chronological story and geographical representation, including, as every atlas does, pages of information on the conventional symbols, scales, and abbreviations used in the maps and city plans it contains.
The authors take care to present brief explanations of the world and especially Argentina in the year 1928 - its government, economy, and population, in addition to curiosities, like those related to the technical revolution between 1900 and 1928, mentioning for example the caterpillar tractor, adrenalin, insulin, penicillin, and military tanks, in an appendix on the historical context of Che's early life, on pages 13-19.
The second chapter, on Ernesto's first years, opens on page 20 with maps portraying the Guevara-De la Serna family's extensive itinerary (at least 12 addresses), the first-born's birth certificate, family photos, and a map of the city of Rosario, with the house where they lived identified as 428 Entre Ríos street, along with the Central Municipal Hospital where he was born June 14, 1928.
The authors are meticulous - something readers will appreciate - and include a reference to the city of San Isidro, where in 1930 Che suffered his first asthma attack, an ailment which would persist throughout his life and led to his family's long pilgrimage in search of an environment that would be better for his health.
Pages 26-29 address his childhood and adolescence in Rosario, Córdoba, Altagracia, and Buenos Aires.
Before continuing with young Ernesto's life, included is a parenthesis about WWII, information about the post-war era through 1956, in particular the significance of these world events for Latin America, with details about health and educational level per country, as well as the arrival of foreign capital.
Ernesto's first trip across Argentina on a Cucchiolo motorbike began in 1951, and included a visit to see his friend Alberto Granado in Córdoba. He continued northeast to the country's poorest provinces of Santiago del Estero, Tucumán, Salta, Jujuy, Catamarca, and La Rioja, returning via San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis, and south to Nahuel Huapí. He traveled a total of 4,500 kilometers.
His journey with Granado (pages 46-73) included Chile, Peru (Cuzco, Macchu Pichu and Lima), Bogota and Caracas. The authors offer an aside about his stop in Lima where Ernesto took time to visit the National Library, to see an art exhibit entitled De Miguel Angel a Picasso.
The two finished this first tour of South America July 26, 1952, in Venezuela, and Ernesto returned to Buenos Aires via Miami. A year later, June 12, he graduated from medical school, and on July 7 began a second trip across the continent, on this occasion, with his childhood friend Carlos "Calica" Ferrer. Their goal was to reach Caracas, where Alberto Granado was waiting for them.
The authors entitled the chapter on this period (pages 74-89) "Ernesto al encuentro de Che." (Ernesto on discovering Che) He returned to Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador, and reached Panama and Costa Rica, where he first came into contact with Cuban revolutionaries who had participated in the assault on the Moncada Garrison in Santiago de Cuba, July 26, 1953, among them Calixto García, later meeting Antonio Ñico López in Guatemala.
After the coup to remove Jacobo Arbenz from the Presidency in this country, Ernesto traveled to Mexico, arriving September 21, 1954. In Mexico City, events moved rapidly. He married Hilda Gadea, his first daughter Hilda Beatriz was born, and he met the leader of the July 26 Movement, Fidel Castro, in the home of Cuban María Antonia González, at 49 Emparán Street.
The Atlas provides maps of the jail where Fidel, Guevara, and other Cuban revolutionaries were held; the sites where they trained for the guerilla war; and the Granma yacht's route from the port of Tuxpan, on the Gulf of Mexico, to Cuba.
To conclude, the authors have written a chapter entitled "Ernesto Che Guevara / aspectos personales" (personal aspects) with a graphic summary of his life (1930-1956); a Guevara-De la Serna family tree through 1956; extensive bibliographic notes; references; an index of significant names and sites; and a collection of photos.
The Atlas histórico, biográfico y militar Ernesto Guevara includes, as an obligatory item, the poem "Canto a Fidel," written by Che in 1956, upon their departure to Cuba. The first and last verses are translated here:
Let's go,
ardent prophet of the dawn,
along remote, unlighted paths
to free the green caiman you love so much…
And if along our way, iron should intervene,
we ask for a shroud of Cuban tears
to cover our guerrillero bones
in the journey of American history. Nothing more.
The visionary Guevara de la Serna. This next stage will have its own space.

About Warner Pacific University
Warner Pacific University originated in September 1935 when the Church of God voted to establish a private liberal arts institution to honor their founder, Daniel Sidney Warner. On February 9, 1937, it was formally incorporated as the Pacific Bible College in Washington. That October, President A.F. Gray welcomed an inaugural class of 21 to its first two-story Spokane schoolhouse. In 1940, the Board acquired land to relocate to Southeast Portland's Mount Tabor for $14,000. In 1947, the Pearl Lewis Building was erected beside Old Main. In 1959, President Milo Chapman adopted the Warner Pacific College name. Regionally accredited in 1961, Warner Pacific received its earliest National Science Foundation scholarship in 1965. In 1976, the Concerned Black Students Club became WPU's first campus organization. In 1987, Warner launched its Degree Completion Program for adults. On January 18, 2018, it was renamed Warner Pacific University.
Endowed for $16.2 million, Warner Pacific University now employs 27 full-time faculty teaching 364 traditional undergrad and 387 adult/post-grad Knights from 19 states online, on its 14.5-acre Willamette Valley campus, or at five Portland satellites with 20+ clubs like Bridge Builders. In 2014, WPU made its seventh appearance on the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll.

Court orders Lakeville establishment to comply with executive order requiring temporary closure for indoor on-premises dining
Court: Alibi's actions 'are both against the law and harmful…directly promoting the spread of Covid-19'; finds Alibi's arguments 'without merit and devoid of factual or legal support'
Must comply with order to remain closed for indoor on-premises dining or risk being found in contempt of court, liquor license being revoked by DPS
December 31, 2020 (SAINT PAUL) — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison announced today that Dakota County District Court has granted his office's motion for a temporary injunction against Alibi Drinkery in Lakeville, which the State has sued for violating the ban on indoor, on-premises dining in Governor Tim Walz's Executive Order 20-99. The order converts the temporary restraining order that the court previously granted on December 18 into a temporary injunction that will remain in effect for the duration of the State's lawsuit.
Alibi Drinkery must comply with the temporary injunction to temporarily remain closed for indoor, on-premises dining through January 10, 2021 or risk being found in civil contempt of court. Non-compliance with the Court's temporary injunction order could also result in its liquor license being revoked by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
In today's order, the court wrote:
Freedom means to most Americans the ability to do what we want subject to two simple limitations: first, that our activities are legal and second what we are doing doesn't cause harm to others. The actions of the Defendant in this time of unprecedented disease transmission, illness, and death are both against the law and harmful. Their blatant and intentional defiance of the law is directly promoting the spread of Covid-19, exposing their customers and employees to disease. Further this transmission immediately becomes the problem of others in the health care system, compounded in its effect by being brought home, to work, etc. In addition, they are exploiting the good conduct of others in the community who are following the law.
The court wrote that Alibi's arguments "are without merit and devoid of factual or legal support."
"Yet another court has recognized the severity of the COVID-19 pandemic and the firm legal foundation of the State's legitimate interest in putting a stop to it," Attorney General Ellison said. "I thank the thousands of Minnesota bars and restaurants that have done the right thing and met their responsibility to their communities by continuing to follow the law. A handful are choosing to ignore their responsibility: by so doing, they're simply extending the pain the pandemic has already wrought upon all of us.
"We're continuing to seek voluntarily compliance from all establishments affected by the executive orders. An enforcement action is a last resort, but I will not hesitate to use it when I have no other choice to protect Minnesotans from this deadly virus," Attorney General Ellison concluded.
On December 17, 2020, Attorney General Ellison's office filed a lawsuit against Alibi Drinkery for multiple alleged violations of the temporary ban on on-premises dining in Executive Order 20-99, a targeted, four-week dial-back of certain activities to halt the spread of COVID-19. Executive Order 20-103 amended and extended the provisions of Executive Order 20-99 until January 10, 2021 at 11:59 p.m.
There are approximately 10,000 restaurants and 1,500 bars in Minnesota. Together, the Minnesota Attorney General's Office and the Minnesota Department of Health have filed a total 11 lawsuits against establishments that have violated Executive Orders 20-99 and 20-103. Today marks the fifth temporary injunction that a court has issued against an establishment violating the orders. In addition, courts have granted temporary restraining orders each time the State has moved for one.
Attorney General Ellison's office is continuing to work closely with state agencies and local law enforcement to seek voluntary compliance with the executive orders. The Attorney General's office and its partners have a range of enforcement tools at their disposal, including criminal sanctions by local law enforcement, to hold businesses, their owners, and agents accountable for violating the order.

Law, Morality, and Christians | AfricanAmerica.org
Law, Morality, and Christians
M MelesiA1
EP recently raised an interesting point on another thread when he said that he thought that "diversity" was either a good thing or was needed (not that there's much difference between the two) in the AA religious community. If I read him correctly, he said that he thinks there is too much Christianity and there should be other religions and philosophies among us.
Which I think brings up a question:
What is the relationship of law and morality? What should it be?
We do say that law does not cause morality. "You can't legislate morality" is the common thought on this, and yet that is precisely what we do through legislation. All law is an expression of morality, an imposition of a morality. To say, "Don't impose your beliefs on me" is to ignore a very important fact about law and community, which is that someone's beliefs are going to be imposed on someone. The belief that beliefs should not be imposed is often imposed itself.
What should a Christian decide on this issue? When should Christians support legislation that encourages righteous behavior?
Biblically, I think the answer must be, "When it pleases God for them to do so." This is sometimes a sticky and tricky process, for "I" often gets mistaken for "God," and so the Christian needs to be very humble and very careful when deciding what and how to do this. Most of us, when we do this at all, do it imperfectly and thus must remain open to other conclusions.
But we have to decide something. That's one of the natures of this life. One thing we must not decide to legislate is a law compelling prayer, for example, or Sunday worship attendance, or tithing, and such. I don't think that Christians are in any danger of suggesting that, anyway.
The reason that we would not and should not is because the one part of "you can't legislate morality" that is right is that righteous behavior does not yield salvation, which must always remain the Church's goal and life (not micromanaging others' lives). Rather, salvation yields righteous behavior. Therefore, Christians should not legislate their spirituality.
But can and should they try to legislate their morality? As long as that morality reflects God's reality and not some denominational perspective, yes.
Most of the time most people would have no disagreement with this. Laws against murder and malicious damage to persons and property, for example, or against financial fraud, meet with almost universal approval.
But where people apparently have trouble with Christians legislating is when the Christians' worldview conflicts with their now-opponents.
That's really the problem, I think--worldview. All law legislates a morality and thus cannot be morally neutral. To distinguish between "good" and "bad" we have to borrow a morality and a worldview from some place, from some worldview.
Thus, Christians have every right to argue their case, since they are arguing from a worldview, which is what everybody else does. If we forbid Christians form doing so, we must forbid everybody else from doing so, and that result very likely is not possible. If possible, it would be unendurable.
Some debates, therefore, about law are not really about the law but about worldview and thus about reality. Should the law redefine this or that action to be criminal or allowed, that is, good or bad? That must be based on a view of reality, and that is from where the arguments should start.
Is, say, homosexual marriage really "marriage"? In our society for some time we've had a tendency to believe that all concepts are malleable and fungible, which gave rise to the predominant use of the concept "gender" instead of "sex." Gender is a social construct, we are told from academia mostly, and thus is changeable, so that is where some have put their energies and thought. That is the imposition of a worldview. Under that worldview, homosexual marriage is possible, because marriage becomes political and thus changeable according to the concepts of the time.
But is it? Christians generally have a different worldview, which makes a gay relationship real but not true, therefore not available to marriage any more than would be, say, two rivers or two stones. Christians who resist gay marriage do so on the basis of saying that this is not an area in which the government has the right to redefine reality.
Now, if we really believe in the goodness of diverse points of view, we would have to say that the clash over this issue--and over others like it, capital punishment, for example--is healthy and desirable.
Christians must remember in it all that their worldview also says that God is in control no matter which way this debate finally comes to rest. Therefore, the world will not end should gay marriage become legal in all fifty states.
But under the circumstances of our present philosophies, the Christian worldview is not automatically disqualified from having a fair hearing. After all, it is a worldview and everybody has one, so it should be heard, too.

I am a Christian, I am heterosexual, I think gays should be allowed to marry, I think women have the right of choice and affirmative action is desparately needed because children are still being left behind.
Law in the USA is not about morality it is about power and money. It was law that enslaved my ancestors using the Christian Bible, it was law that separated the races under Jim Crow using the Christian Bible , it was law that cause the police to sick dogs on citizens because they were Black and wanted equality using the Christian Bible.
The "christians" who say Gay Marriage is wrong, are the same "christians" that lynch Black men in 2006, and will convict a Black man for looking at a white woman, while they aquit 5 white men for gang raping a Black woman, with dna from all of them found in every bruise and orafice. Please don't suggest that all Christians are the same, if we were then hate, bigotry, racisim would end tomorrow and I could stand next to Dick Cheney [spelling, isn't that bad, I can't spell the VP's last name] and sing some Negro Spiritual with him. If all Christian were the same, I would not be shocked to see Donald Rumsfeld at Rosa Parks' D.C. Memorial Service because the entire congress, supreme court and the rest of the senior members of the Bush Administration would have been present and he would not have stood out like a sore thumb. If all Christians were the same I would not be offended by Bush waging a war of choice on Iraq. George Bush proves every day that all Christians are not the same.

nikcara,
You have more than one point in your post. I will try to address them, but I hope you can forgive me if I miss one or two.
Do we have differing definitions of "Christian"? What is a Christian to you?
Yes, Christians do differ on issues, but they differ usually because they've started from different points of view. They have different conclusions about the world to begin with, thus they have certain differences in their worldviews, which is part of the point that I made originally. Worldview is important. People who upheld Jim Crow, sometimes violently, usually weren't Christians. Their worldview was one that can't be found in the Bible. It came from somewhere else. A Biblical worldview would not do as you have pointed out that some did.
You paint the world with a fairly broad brush, it seems to me. I have a limited experience with you, this being the first time that I know of that we've exchanged ideas, but still it seems that you blame much on many who do not deserve it. The vast majority of people who follow the Bible have never even wanted to lynch anyone, let alone do so. Some of us are even against the death penalty, let alone lynching. Life is important enough--sacred, in fact--that no human has the right to take it from another. So, not all of us on one side of an issue are going to be like others, especially those who do not share our religion.
Those you mention, who defended slavery, were not doing so because of the Bible but in spite of it. There were northern Christians prior to the Civil War, you'll remember, who agitated for abolition and even worked the Underground railroad, and did so because they saw in the Bible that we are one before God. Why do you not emphasize them instead of the others?
There are still many who invoke the Bible and the name of God when it suits them but don't really mean it, because they ignore it when it's inconvenient to them. It's not the Bible's fault that some people misuse it, and it's not all Christians on one side of an issue who will be as bad as other people who just happen to agree with them.
So your use of the term "using" the Bible is right--they used it. They didn't believe it. So if they were Christians, they were by definition bad ones. Many of them weren't Christians at all, for of some who use the name of Christ, Jesus himself said, "Why do you call me Lord but don't do what I say?"
Now, a question: why can't you stand next to Dick Cheney now? I mean, besides the obvious practical problems of bodyguards and such? There is such a thing as loving one's enemy in the Bible. If we are to love our enemies, and if we are to pray for those in authority, then why can't we stand next to them?
Law is about morality. What you mention, power and money, is a morality. Not an especially good one, but a morality nonetheless. Some people deviously use the law to their own advantage, this is true, but that's because their morality happens to be a bad one, a selfish one. But all law--all of it--is about morality.
Can you name one law that doesn't have as its root a view of right and wrong, that tries to establish that which is right and wrong?
Alright, here's the reality of the land:
America was founded on Englightenment Principles (the ideas in our Constitution are borrowed from the French Constitution and inspired by Englightenment Age philosophy on liberty, freedom and justice).
There is a radical Seperation of Church and State. Church cannot regulate religious beliefs as laws, and the State cannot regulate religious beliefs. This is mutally beneficial, it provides a safe, bias-free (in theory) system that does not make judgements based on religious beliefs. Imagine if a Buddhist was being sued in court, and he was judged guilty for not worshipping the Judeo-Christian God.
Religion should not mix in politics. If you start regulating laws based on religious morals, where does it end? Whose religion should the laws be based on? If you say Christians, what kind of Christians? If you say Protestants, what kind of Protestants? If you say Conservative Protestants, which denomination or sect? If you say laws should be made based on the Bible, which interpretation?
Should we ban wearing polyester or multi-colored suits? (it is considered "sinful" in the Old Testament along with "homosexuality"). Should we ban pork and shellfish? Should we enforce that everyone attends Church on Sunday?
If you say that all religions should be open to influencing law, should we change "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance to : "One Nation, under God/Christ/Yahweh/Allah/Brahman/Buddha/Shunyata/Dao/Goddess/Ahura Mazda/Lucifer/"? If not, then why?
If we let Christian beliefs influence policy on Gay Marriage and Abortion, why not let it influence other things too? Why not enforce Jesus' policy against interest? (Jesus said to not charge interest on loans)
Marriage is a federal issue, not a religious issue. Mariage is a federal issue because:
1) Seperation of Church and State
2) Christianity did not invent marriage
3) Non-Christians get married also
That's why you need a MARRIAGE LISCENCE in this country for the goverment to recognize your marriage. If marriage was solely a religious issue, being married in a church would be good enough and you would not need a liscence. That's also why people can get married outside of churches and have their marriage recognized.
Abortion is also not a religlious issue because the laws on death in this country are not influenced by any religions (due to Seperation of Church and State). A woman's right to choose is a Constitutional right due to the First and Fifteenth Amendment.
We shouldn't legislate "morality" on religious basis because our laws are built off of Englightenment Age secular morals in the first place. To regulate "morality" based on any religion (especially on a single religion) would be stepping into the realm of theocracy.
Those you mention, who defended slavery, were not doing so because of the Bible but in spite of it.
What in the Bible forbids the owning of slaves?It's acknowledged as a practice in both the New and Old Testaments. And nothing I'm aware of forbids the practice per se. You might argue that the Bible would enjoin Masters to treat their slaves well. But what forbids them from owning slaves to begin with?
See the Pauline Epistle Philemon, in which an escaped slave is encouraged to return to his owner and the owner is entreated to be forgiving. Nothing there condemns slavery. If anything, Christians were encouraged to obey the law of the time even when the law countenanced slavery.
If anything, you can say that Northern Christian Abolitionists who opposed slavery did so not because of the Bible but inspite of it.
Lastly, I'll add that the Abolitionist movement also included many Unitarians (There is but One God and Jesus is NOT Divine) and Universalists (All are saved and no one is damned).

How about the law which gives Congress the right to authorize the President to declare war?
EP,
Yes, John Locke and the idea of universal rights is very European, though they did not spring full-grown from the head of the French Revolution, especially that part of it that so quickly degenerated into the Reign of Terror and was well criticized by such as Edmund Burke, a supporter of much of the American philosophy.
But this couldn't have arisen without the ground of the Christian faith. It's no wonder that the Magna Carta was forced on King John in England. It was a first step prompted by the barons, but it was a step toward teh American philosophy of rights. But it all grew in Christian Europe, in which the concept of God-given rights took root, and became the cradle of the Enlightenment.
Not precisely my point. I did say that that sort of thing should not happen. What I was emphasizing was that the ground of their beliefs should not by its nature be ruled out of court and not given a fair hearing. I would generally agree with you, but I think that you are being more general than I was. I say that Hindus have the right to say that a moral is the right one to adopt because it in , oh, the Baghavad Gita, say, or is Brahmin in origin and the Brahmins are right. I would very likely disagree with them, but they should have the right to argue this point and to be taken seriously while doing so.
I did specifically say that Sunday observance should not be enforced. Sectarian concerns should not be adopted, but those who hold them should be able to voice them in public debate and not be shouted down only because their reasons are religious.
This goes one step beyond my point. If the country voted for this, then it should be adopted. Muslims should be able to say that they want Allah mentiond in the Pledge. The rest of us should be able to debate that point rationally and respectfully.
Christians should be able to argue that. It wouldn't pass (it touches money, after all, the American golden calf), but they should at least get a fair hearing on it.
Not really. It's based on Harry Blackmun's interpretation of the "penumbra" of the Constitution. He got a majority of the justices to agree with him, but he lobbied for it so hard that aides called the memos and the case, "Harry's abortion." It's a notoriously badly-decided case.
I don't htink so. A theocracy is where a religion and its leaders rule the country by religious law. I'm talking about letting religious people have their requests based on their religious reasons, and the rest of us not refusing to hear them because we don't like the religion. Even religious folk should be able to have their say.

HB,
Yes, the northern abolitionist movement included people who were not Christians, but that really is beside the point. Wiliam Wilberforce in England was a Christian who almost a hundred years before the American Civil War spearheaded the British abolitionist movement. Christians here were encouraged by his success and worked very hard to abolish slavery all through the country. It's what led to our Civil War, you'll remember. They worked with many who were not
Christian, but they worked for it.
Tehy did so because, while the Bible acknowledges the existence of slavery, and when the Church was small and weak as it was in the days of Paul, it did what it could in the larger society to live as Christians in a culture they could not change. But when it came to their own, that they could change.
You mention the book of Philemon. A careful reading of it would see something already at work in the Church. Paul acknowledges the legal status of the runaway slave Onesimus, but, he says to Onesimus' owner, Philemon, in a letter accompanying the returning Onesimus,
8Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, 9yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul""an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus"" 10I appeal to you for my son Onesimus,[a] who became my son while I was in chains. 11Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me.
12I am sending him""who is my very heart""back to you. 13I would have liked to keep him with me so that he could take your place in helping me while I am in chains for the gospel. 14But I did not want to do anything without your consent, so that any favor you do will be spontaneous and not forced. 15Perhaps the reason he was separated from you for a little while was that you might have him back for good"" 16no longer as a slave, but better than a slave, as a dear brother. He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A slave as a brother? Find that in any Roman's thought. There is an interesting historical fact in the early church--there was a bishop named Onesimus.
It is Bible teaching like this that made the Church fight slavery. Not in spite of the Bible, but because of it.
Weak...Reeeeeal weak
I would think it had to do more with Enlightenment ideals and world events of the time. But if you say so...
Yes, of course: criticize without dealing with the evidence, state an opinion as if it were obvious truth, and never, never answer a factual argument.

The point is that I could sit here and argue with you forever. But your mind is made up and no amount of logic and evidence is going to change your mind. I don't enjoy arguing just for the hell of it. My time is rather limited. So why bother? I'm not sure that anything good comes of it. I'm not sure if anyone on the site gets much from looking at the two of us go back and forth hogging a thread. Why bother?
And I did present evidence for my statement. Philemon. And you didn't dispute what I wrote. You just talked around it in your usual squirmy way.
And, by the way, This
Yes, of course....state an opinion as if it were obvious truth, and never, never answer a factual argument.
sounds much more ike you, my friend. Your f*cking posts are so FACT-free we could market them as diet food.
THERE IS NOTHING IN THE BIBLE THAT FORBIDS OR EVEN CONDEMNS SLAVERY.
Now deal with it.
I had already written
You might argue that the Bible would enjoin Masters to treat their slaves well. But what forbids them from owning slaves to begin with?
and you just came back by saying (essentially) that "if you read closely" Paul encourages Philemon to treat Onesimus as a brother - while sending Onesimus back to share brotherly love with his owner. I.e. you only elaborated on what I already said. You didn't contradict it one bit.
So why should waste my time responding when there was nothing new to respond to? Your reply was lame. That's not a dodge. That's my opinion. Agree or disagree.
I get so sick and tired of Christians and "If you just read closely"
Your illness could be avoided if you wished. Yo uapparently do not do so.
Note well what Paul said, that he could order Philemon to release Onesimus if he wanted to. He would rather have it come from Philemon's own heart and love for Onesimus. He's being quite pastoral here as well as apostolic. The command still hovers in the background, the unchanging scene against which this action is played.
Yes, if you'd only read closely.
He could command if only he wanted?: Sheesh!
How tragic!
So let me ask: Why didn't the Christians of the 19th century follow St. Paul's example? That's what you advocate right? Do as the Bible commends?
So why didn't 19th century Christians follow that example??: wish the slaves well, bid the masters regard their slaves as brothers, and remark that they could command if they wished it but wait instead for it to come from the heart???
You're right. I could avoid the illness by undergoing a frontal lobotomy.
No thanks. I think I'll pass.....
Let's put it this way: St. Paul didn't have problems strongly condemning a lot of other things. NOW DID HE?
And, of course, every person acts and says the same thing the same way every time.
You are committing the fallacy of the "argument from silence."
Compare Galatians with 1 Corinthians. There were things in Corinth that he strongly condemned, yet he started out by finding things for which to praise them and thank God for them. IN Galatians, there were none of the sins that we think are so spectaular, yet he starts out there with "You idiots!"
that he did not say what you wanted him to say where you wanted him to say it is no argument.
Originally posted by HonestBrother:
He could command if only he wanted: Sheesh!
But he NEVER says it anywhere
The problem isn't that he doesn't say it. The problem is that he doesn't say it in the way you want him to.
Paul lived 2000 years ago in an entirely different culture and had as his objective the survival of believers in Christ. You cannot demand that he speak as a twenty-first century American (or even as a nineteenth-century Northerner).
That's quite an imposition of your beliefs on someone who cannot defend or explain himself.
Are you really as brainwashed as the way you come off? I mean reading stuff into the text. Seeing ONLY what you want to see. Allowing yourself to see no more than the Biblical text - and even then only in the best possible light. And no matter what I say, you're just going to come back with the same WEAK AZZ crap....
I Repeat:
Come now, HB, those words can be used against you and be quite accurate. They shoudn't be, though, because they're not an argument, only a questioning of motives and asserting conclusions that you do not and cannot know.
I'm reading nothing into the text. Look at the words. They are there. Once more:
There are several things going on here: the understated command to release Onsimus and treat him as the equal he has become, the emotional appeal to add force to his argument (I'm an old man and a prisoner), his calling Onsimus his own "son," the play on words involving his name ("Onesimus" means "Useful"), later he calls Onesimus Philemon's "brother." The meaning is clear. All you have to do is to put aside your emotions for a few minutes, the distaste that you feel from your limited experience with Christians (you did say that your are "sick" of Christians), stop blaming Paul and the Bible for not talking as you think they should, and read what is written.
stop blaming Paul and the Bible for not talking as you think they should, and read what is written.
I don't believe it should or shouldn't talk any way in particular. I have * no * belief * whatsoever * in the authority of this book - which was written for sheep herders by sheepherders millenia ago. And no. I will not waste any more of my time rereading this drivel.
My only point was that it doesn't say what YOU want it to say.
I at least quote it and show you what it does say. All you are doing is huffing and puffing.
All you have to do is to put aside your emotions for a few minutes, the distaste that you feel from your limited experience with Christians (you did say that your are "sick" of Christians), stop blaming Paul and the Bible for not talking as you think they should, and read what is written.
I've had all the experience I need. Anyone who needs to go running to an ancient book, fine-parsing every single line, to tell them what to think about any given issue is a simpleton. I find that distasteful.
If the shoe fits wear it.
Once Again. Maybe you'll answer this time:
Well, that's interesting:
You wrote,
I don't believe it should or shouldn't talk any way in particular.
But that's been your whole argument:
What in the Bible forbids the owning of slaves?
He could command if only he wanted
You demand that the Bible say what you want it to say, and you desparage it (a book by sheepherders for sheepherders, you called it, right? Wasn't that condescending as well as wrong? Habakkuk picked figs, Isaiah was a priest, Paul was a scholar who made tents, Peter was a fisherman, and the author of Hebrews was a scholar who wrote beautiful Greek) when it does not. You wil not read it to understand it, yet you will condemn it, falsely, as it turns out.
I point out to you just where you are wrong about the Bible, I quote what it says that shows you that you misunderstand it, and all you can do is to say that you will not do that. That is rather obvious. Stick to mathematics. Logic, respect, courtesy, politeness and a desire for the truth just aren't your strong suits.
You haven't been listening. William Wilberforce and those many English Christians who followed him did follow Paul's example. The Christians in the American North did follow Paul's example. It was the basis for their activism for abolition.
The "Christians" you really are talking about are the Christians in the American South, a minority of Christians, by the way. Many more fought for slavery's end than defended it pre-war. The reason teh Southeners defended slavery was because of the pride of place ("states rights") which is the sin of pride, and for economic and cultural reasons, which are the sin of idolatry.
Either way, the defense was sin, and we fought a war to be rid of it.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Do not mix being an apostle with being a Christian. Every apostle was a Christian, no Christian since then has been an apostle. It was not our place to merely wish people well (that was answered by Jesus and James), but to do what is right before God. Abolition of lsavery was just one such right act. It was delayed by political, cultural, economic, and sinful reasons.
Melesi: YOUR ORIGINAL CLAIM WAS THAT CHRISTIAN ABOLITIONISTS OPPOSED SLAVERY BECAUSE OF THE BIBLE.
I only questioned the basis for that claim. I'm not demanding or even expecting that the Bible should forbid or condemn slavery.
My point was that because the Bible does NOT condemn or forbid slavery there is a very weak basis for your original claim that Christians opposed slavery because of the Bible.
Circles, Man. You're going in circles again.
This is why I don't like having these discussions with you. I have to keep your AZZ straight on your own f*cking argument.
IN FACT, THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY I ORIGNALLY HESITATED TO EVEN START THIS DISCUSSION WAS BECAUSE I DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE TO BE RUDE.
With you that's hard to do.
You've noticed, of course, that the abusive always blame the other?
Oh sweety, do you feel abused? Are those tears running down your face?
Stick to mathematics. Logic, respect, courtesy, politeness and a desire for the truth just aren't your strong suits.
Logic is a branch of mathematics and I'm intimately familiar with it. Thank you. The Love of Truth is PRECISELY why I will not shackle my mind with the Biblical text.
If you Loved Truth so much, you'd be open to seeing it outside the Bible.
And you'll get courtesy and respect when you stop your double talk. I'm very courteous actually but I have NO tolerance for BS. None.
You know I might even be willing to accept that they opposed slavery by an extension of New Testament principle but, in doing so, they had to ignore other parts of the Bible.
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Prohibition of slavery is to be found in the Penumbra of the Biblical text. Is it therefore badly decided? I don't know but he notoriously lobbied hard for it.
Melesi, sorry I did not get back to this sooner, what can I say, I was on trial and got distracted. Suffice it to say, I cannot stand next to Dick Cheney [whatever the spelling is] because he is a racist that calls himself a Christian like Bush and I cannot agree with what they have done in the name of Jesus or my God. The God that I pray to clearly is not whom they pray to yet we both use the term Christian.

Whitney Hemphill is a senior at Wells Community Academy High School who is completing her SIXTH year at Cabrini Connections. Whitney was born and raised in Cabrini Green but she is moving to the south side next month. "It's time for something new," she says. She enjoyed growing up in Cabrini Green because a lot of people were around and she made a lot of friends, but now a lot of those people have moved away.
Whitney is the youngest of five children. "I used to get anything I wanted," she says. Her older sister, Angelene, graduated from Cabrini Connections in 2009. She now attends Harold Washington College. Whitney and Angelene were in the Art Club together for several years. That is one of the activities that first hooked Whitney into the program.
Jessica Bearden was born in South Carolina and moved to Texas at the age of 5 where she stayed through high school. She is from a south Texas town named McAllen just 10 minutes from the Mexican border. She was very active as a kid, playing soccer and tennis mostly, but also volleyball, softball, and track and field. Much of her free time as a teenager was spent practicing for, training for, and participating in organized sports. She is still very active to this day.
Marcus Burks is the second student to be featured in the student spotlight for a second time (Melissa Young). He was originally featured as an 8th grader at Wells Prep in March 2009. Two years later, he is a rising junior at King College Prep. Marcus is from the far south side of Chicago and has four siblings.
He has three younger sisters who "make me feel like a leader" and an older brother who he's close with. Marcus aims to be a positive influence in his sisters' lives because "I wouldn't want to see them doing anything negative." What personally keeps him going while he's looking out for others? "Hopes and dreams of going to college," he says.
8th grader Jerman Beathea was born in Cabrini Green and lives there now, but in between, he moved around a lot. Jerman has lived on the west side of Chicago, on the south side twice, and in Minnesota for two years! If you think Chicago's cold, Minnesota is worse. Jerman says it was fun at times, but mostly he's glad to be back in Chi-town.

Q: Unity3D UGUI (aka "new UI") Draw Call Optimization We recently created an asset that displays data in a table layout in the 'new' (> 4.6) Unity UI.  Some of our users are asking about draw call performance and we are wondering what (if any) options we have to improve draw calls in the UI.

So the above table sticks pretty consistently at 19 draw calls...

It runs fine on anything ipad2-level and above, but Unity dev's (understandably) hate draw calls so we want to minimize that number as much as possible.
You can see the hierarchy we are creating for our table in the above screenshot.  We are using masks for the Header/Footer/Body and the ColumnOverlay.  Per Unity, it appears that each Mask takes a minimum of 2 draws:
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/unity-4-6-ui-mask-component-takes-2-draw-calls.279840/
Also, we are obviously using a bunch of the Unity UI Text and Sprite elements to draw everything.  The basic nature of a table layout pretty much means that there are multiple layers of Sprite and Text objects on top of each other (cell data on top of cell background, etc).   Unity dev's seem to say that there's simply no way to NOT have multiple draw calls when this happens as the engine requires a draw per "layer"... period.
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/solved-new-ugui-and-too-many-draw-calls.266631/
So... it seems that as soon as you have a non-trivial UI layout in the Unity UI you are pretty much guaranteed to have a non-trivial (10-20) amount of draw calls.  Is that true?  If it isn't, does anyone have any ideas on anything we could do to minimize draws in our table?
Update 1:
I was able to reduce my draw-calls by one by inactivating a custom 'measure' element I have on each data row.  It's basically a hacked "Text" object but I'm just using it to measure cells for grid sizing and it was taking an extra draw call.  The measure features actually work fine with the GameObject deactivated.
 Current Draw Calls == 18
Update 2:
Found a big improvement.  I mentioned above that my Header/Footer/Body and ColumnOverlay all use masks elements.  Turns out, I was able to restructure my system to include a single Mask on a new root-level element and remove the Masks on the Header, Footer, and ColumnOverlay.  Now I just have a Mask on that root element and the Body.

 Current Draw Calls == 13
Update 3 [the failures]:
So each row contains that bottom border line image to offset it from it's siblings.  I thought maybe it's printing 'on top' of the Text elements and forcing an extra draw.  Turns out no... it's not.
Also... all my background Image elements have no sprite property defined.  They are just using "null" with a color applied.  I thought maybe if I created a single generic 'white' sprite and applied it to all my null Image objects it might improve batching and reduce my draw calls.  Turns out no... it doesn't.
 Current Draw Calls == 13

A: As I understand your problem is UI batching.
Now I will try to explaine how it works.
When you create an empty scene in Unity you have only one draw call due your camera and your canvas. Lets look to the pic below:

So when you add new Image object to the scene you obtain a new one.

It is happened because you add a new material to the scene. If you add some more objects with the same materials, they will be batched to the one draw call and not produce new one.

If you add to the scene an object with a new one material it produced an additional draw call.

It looks like ok. But if the object with new material located between batched objects in hierarcy and intersect with any of it you will have a problem. You batchig will be separated to the two part and will produce two drow calls.

So I thik your problem is here. You need to look to you hierarchy closely, and remember, that Image and Text objects has defferent materials. So each Text located between two Image objects in heierarcy prodeced additional draw call when text's shape intersect with image's shape.

You wake up, get ready for work, have some toast and coffee with your spouse, then wave goodbye. It's your typical workday. There is, however, something unusual: your beloved has been dead for many years. You didn't have breakfast with your spouse, but rather with a simulation of your spouse.
The simulation lives in a virtual environment, perhaps accessed by a device such as the Oculus Rift. A digital bereavement company has captured and analysed torrents of data about your husband to create a digital likeness. His voice, his gait, his idiosyncrasies and mannerisms, the undulations of his laugh – all are replicated with near-perfect similitude. Spending time with your digitally reborn spouse has become a part of your daily routine.
Death is often viewed as the great leveller that marks the cessation of experience. But perhaps this needn't be the case. Even if the dead can't interact with us any more, we can still interact with a simulation of them. It was the death of my father that inspired me to embark on a project to make this fantasy a reality.
Two hundred years ago, most people didn't have access to a picture of their dearly departed, and a few decades ago the same could be said for any film of a person. Yet soon, simulations could be able to accurately imitate those who have died so that we can continue to interact with them as if they continued to live. As emerging technologies conspire to make simulations of the dead a part of our lives, this possibility is no longer the realm of science fiction.
With smartphones, the quantified self movement and massive online data collection, one can get a passably accurate view of how a person behaves. This type of data collection would be the basis of creating simulations of the deceased. Humans have a natural tendency to ascribe agency – indeed personality – to animate objects, so creating a convincing simulation might not be as hard as it first seems. Consider Eliza, a computer program created with a few lines of code in the 1960s which could convince people that they were talking to a psychotherapist. And bots have been getting more sophisticated ever since.
One immediate objection is that a simulation is never going to be as rich as the real thing. But this is akin to saying that a chess program is not going to be able to play chess in the same artful manner that a human champion does. While IBM's Deep Blue had an exhaustive search-based, chess-playing architecture that was less than elegant, it did accomplish the task of defeating the greatest chess grandmaster who ever lived.
If our hypothetical simulation can pass the deceased person's version of the Turing test, then we have accomplished the task of having experiences of the dead. Don't get hung up on ascribing intelligence or consciousness to the software. If the only goal is to have the experience of interacting with a person who is now deceased, then the metaphysics of personal identity is irrelevant. Will such a system have a soul? Will it be conscious? At best, these question are irrelevant and, at worst, they distract us from actually attempting to build simulations. My project focuses on making experiences of a deceased person possible – but not necessarily experiences with the deceased.
Simulations can be thought of as the next step in the evolution of bereavement. Whether it is by writing eulogies, building memorials, creating tombs or simply keeping a photograph on the nightstand, cultures have different ways of remembering and mourning – but they always do remember and mourn. One of the great appeals of religion is the promise of reunion with the departed in one form or another. Simulations hold the possibility that the living are no longer permanently cut off from the dead.
These simulations will also change how we relate to the living. Imagine if you didn't have to say goodbye for ever to anyone (that is, until you yourself die). A friend's death would be met with bereavement and deep sadness, of course. But at any moment in the future you would still be able to spend time laughing and reminiscing with a simulation so similar to your friend that it would be difficult to tell the two apart.
New and unexpected patterns of behaviour might also emerge. Perhaps simulations will allow people to hold grudges even after a person has died, continuing to combat a bot that is only ever a click away. Alternatively, one might wait for the other's demise and let go of grudges later on so that they can deal with a more pleasant version of that person. The only difference is that it will not be a person they are interacting with, but a simulacra.


I had a good workout today(ran a lot) Kinda overworked a bit hopefully some rest will do. As for my face it is definitely improving. I have like 2 pimples again. Hopefully it wont get worst. Redmarks still here and not seem to be fading.
