Jesus spoke and acted in controversial ways. His parables were designed to shock people out of their complacency. He spent time with wicked people. He pushed against the social expectations of what Messiah would be. His birth and class standing offended the prim. As a result, he constantly chafed against the religious authorities of the day, the keepers of the law.
What do you do with a Messiah who eats with tax collectors and prostitutes? What do you say when he tells stories that welcome prodigal sinners and deride you as the condemning "older brother"? As a religious leader, how do you respond when he flouts your rules or tells a tale of a priest and Levite walking by the victim of a mugging while a despised Samaritan plays the role of the good guy?
The resulting attacks heaped upon Jesus show us the norm. When we walk in Jesus' steps, the very people who should approve of our words and actions may turn on us instead. They may say and do unkind things. In Jesus' case, they crucified him and mocked him as he hung dying, smug and complacent that they were on God's side as they murdered his Son.
When you venture out to serve, using your gifts and seeking to encourage others, you will be attacked, misunderstood, criticized, and shunned. Those who come against you will do so feeling they are on God's side. Behind them stands the enemy, crafting the assault to hit your most tender spots. Usually these attacks come as you are experiencing the greatest power of God working through you in ministry.
Someone will feel it is their job to criticize every one of your sermons or teaching times. They will email you the following day. People may leave the church because they feel you have nothing to teach them. A vendetta about your choice of an illustrative graphic or church library paint may hound you for years. You may be heckled. Anonymous polling to improve a product for group use might result in a personal attack. Such is ministry.
None of this should surprise us. Jesus experienced the same things. But, attack muddies emotion. As you sift through the criticism, because you are a sinner and must determine if you've erred in some way, you may be assailed with doubt, false guilt, and hurt feelings. You may be tempted to give up.
This is why the Christ model is transformative and empowering. Jesus endured all these things, navigating the experience without ever sinning, though he was tempted in all things as we. He felt all the pain, misunderstanding, and social disapproval—even from those who should have been on his side.
We can take all our battered, assaulted emotion and offer it up to him to make sense of it. As we work out our salvation with fear and trembling, evaluating and attempting to respond as we should, we can know that God is at work, willing and acting for a good purpose in our lives (Phil. 2:12-13). The Lord is near, and we need not fear (Philippians 4:5-6).
"But even if you suffer for what is right, you are blessed. Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened. But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord" (1 Peter 3:14-15a).
His eyes are upon those who serve him. His ear is attentive to our cry (1 Peter 3:12; Ps. 34:15). He hears and delivers us. We can rest in him. He is close to the brokenhearted. He saves those who are crushed in spirit. "The righteous person has many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all" (Psalm 34:19).
As we apply the Christ-model, not only do we seek to love and submit like him, but we also follow his example when we are attacked and misunderstood. His comfort and his person, once more, are the cure and the model. Our Savior's compassion, encouragement, tenderness, comfort, and fellowship empower us for whatever task he puts before us (Philippians 2:1-2).
As you serve the Lord, how are you encountering opposition and discouraging attack? How is he healing and comforting you in it?
Melinda, this article is a sober reminder of the cost of ministry. We've all felt it; we will continue to feel it, periodically. Sometimes it's more than a short-time visitor; sometimes it lingers for months or years. Yet His companionship is worth this price, as He shores us up during the long nights, as He gently soothes our wounded spirits. When we come out the other side, in this life or the next, we will look at the various scars on our hearts and say, "But I wouldn't have had it any other way." This makes NO sense to a non-Christian and little sense to a Christian who only obeys when the sun is shining. But all those who have seen the darkness of the cave and stepped inside anyway, to be part of God's redemption for those who've never breathed free air…we know that in some ways, the pain of serving Him is magnificent.
Thank you for those beautiful words, Patricia! You speak truth, and it is medicine for the soul. Christ is worth it! Thank you for sharing today.
This IS so true, so meaningful, and so helpful, Melinda! What a beautiful reply Patricia had, too!
I especially love that Jesus always understands, always hold us close, and always teaches us through all the hurt. These words of yours express it so well: "Jesus endured all these things, navigating the experience without ever sinning, though he was tempted in all things as we. He felt all the pain, misunderstanding, and social disapproval—even from those who should have been on his side." How thankful I am! His endurance was much greater, too, as He suffered so much more severely! What would we do without Jesus, His understanding, and His comfort! Yes, it will be worth it all!
THANKS ONCE AGAIN, SWEET MELINDA!
It has been a blessing to study through 1 Peter, write the material, and then study through it again. I'm digging deeper each time as I learn more about identifying with Christ and leaning hard on his fellowship with me in suffering. What a priceless treasure he is! I'm glad Patricia shared her comments. She is wise woman, and her words often encourage me.
Thank you, Precious Lord Jesus!!!
In comparison to the suffering of the martyrs and the persecution of believers in "closed" countries, no, we have not suffered much.
These were words that I needed to hear today. Patrica DID do a beautiful job of telling it. We DO come out on the other side saying, "I wouldn't have it any other way." Sometimes, it takes a while for us to get beyond the reeling that happens when we are taken by "surprise" by very sharp criticism. I often wonder when I come to expect it so that it won't take me by surprise any more. How old do I have to get?
Blessings upon you and your writing. Keep up the good work!
I think we are surprised, because we don't have spiritual eyes yet to see what goes on behind the scenes. That's why Peter writes, "Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you." It always feels strange to me, too. I think that, because I'm serving Christ, surely all will go well with me, everyone will love me, and all will be happiness and joy. That's a naive view. 🙂 That part happens on the other side, when we have union with the Savior. It's then that he puts us back together, after we have suffered "a little while." Then he himself will restore us and make us strong, firm, and steadfast (1 Peter 5:10b). And that's a relief, because we might get pretty shredded.

Among one of the most common electrical wiring inquiries is regarding how to wire a switch. Though applying switches in your own home is quite effortless, wiring one might not be that quick for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. There are different kinds of switches, but for this instance, let us say you happen to be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly popular swap (plus the most straightforward).
You will find three hues of wires within a standard single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and eco-friendly. Splice the black wire in two and join them within the terminal screws - one on leading and also the other over the bottom screw of the change. The white wire serves to be a resource of uninterrupted energy which is commonly connected to the light-weight coloured terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the green wire to your ground screw of one's swap.
These techniques would frequently be enough to help make a normal change operate and not using a dilemma. Nonetheless, if you will not be self-assured which you can complete the activity properly and safely you improved allow the professionals do it in its place. Soon after all, there is a purpose why this process has become the most commonly encountered electrical wiring concerns questioned by most people.
For many rationale, ways to wire a ceiling fan is likewise certainly one of essentially the most prevalent electrical wiring questions. To simplify this endeavor, you can utilize a single switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it is merely a make any difference of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan for the black wire of your swap. If there is a light, the blue wire ought to be linked into the black wire on the swap in addition.
You'll find good reasons why these are by far the most frequently questioned electrical wiring thoughts. Just one, several think it can be easy to do, and two, these are generally the common electrical duties at your home. But then you definately shouldn't put your security in danger inside your objective to save cash. The stakes could even be considerably better if you make an effort to get monetary savings and do an electrical wiring task without the need of sufficient expertise or experience.

While we are on the subject of food, I have to let you know about a game-changer Mocha Cake that my friend Gina Martin shared last week on her blog, Home Joys.
I thought I already had a good recipe for mocha cake, but that is a more subtle milk-chocolate version. This one is dark, rich, intense, with a double shot of mocha: from coffee in the cake as well as in the frosting. And the frosting is, hands down, one of the best I've had the pleasure of experiencing.
Beware. It is the kind of cake that reaches deep into the feminine psyche and promises to solve every problem and heal every hurt. I can only assume it is *slightly exaggerating… On the other hand, will it hurt to try, just in case?
Like I said, caution and accountability may be needed.
The only reason I'm sharing this is because if you knew there was a cake like this in the world, I would want you to tell me. Also it will save me the time I'd spend sharing it individually with everyone after last night's snack. Grin.
The recipe is here. Gina has shared many tasty recipes that have joined our family's list of go-to dishes. This one, you might say, takes the cake.
If the cake doesn't fix all your problems, at least it will produce personal growth.
LOL love it. Chocolate is my language!!
Ok, I loved your comments already but Ryan's made me laugh aloud. I haven't tried this cake yet…fasting from sugar for Lent. But I have the recipe copied out and am trying to decide whether I really need an accountability partner…or whether I should just gain back the pounds I'm losing by not eating sweets.
Haha! Loved your description, and Ryan's comment! After seeing this recipe both here on your blog and on Gina's, I HAD to make it this weekend. It did not disappoint. We all enjoyed it! I think the rest may need to be hidden in the pantry to be accessed only by mama… ?
I am totally going to try this cake and the macaroni! What beats velveeta mac n cheese? Total comfort food. 🙂 While you're sharing recipes, I'm trying to track down a recipe that was on your blog; can you direct me to it, please? It is the crockpot chicken recipe that has black beans, corn, cream cheese, salsa in it…. Thanks in advance.
Yum. I forgot about that recipe. It wasn't mine – I shared it in a comment on my Summertime Cooking Swap when someone emailed it to me. (That title is a link; I don't like how links show up in my comment section, but if you mouse over it, it should highlight for you.) Enjoy.


Only 15 days after arrest to request a Allen, TX ALR Hearing.
Allen, TX DWI Attorney offers Free ALR Hearing Form to Request an to Avoid an Automatic DWI License Suspension.
If fewer than 15 days have passed since your arrest in Allen, TX, you are entitled to demand an ALR hearing. For the reasons discussed below, it is critical that you demand a hearing.
An Administrative License Revocation or ALR is an administrative procedure by which an individual who is jailed for operating while intoxicated or another intoxication-related offense seeks to prevent his/her motorist's license from being suspended. A suspension can take place from either a rejection to submit to a blood or breath test or by offering a specimen that leads to a 0.08 or greater blood alcohol concentration.
An ALR hearing is a hearing that is held with an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) who pays attention to the evidence in the event. DPS has the burden of proof in an ALR hearing. The driver can challenge DPS's case by providing any legal issues that may exist. Unlike the criminal case, which should be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, the burden of proof in an ALR hearing is justadequate of evidence.
You have to know that your license has not been suspended at the time of arrest. Given that the authorities took your license, it appears that it has actually been suspended, but it is not. Nevertheless, to prevent suspension, you must ask for an Administrative License Cancellation (ALR) hearing within 15 days of when you were served with a Notification of Suspension (normally the date of arrest). If you prompt demanded a hearing to contest your license suspension, you will be able to continue driving until the hearing [or longer. If you lose at the hearing, you can not operate after the hearing. If your license is suspended at the hearing, you may have the ability to secure restricted license, referred to as an occupational license to drive legally.
Delay Suspension Your license suspension does not enter into result until the ALR hearing choice ruling protests you. For that reason, rather of having 40 days to operate on the short-term license, you might have several months where you are driving without limitation. If the judge rules in your favor, no administrative suspension will take place. There is the possibility of a conviction suspension.
Arrange Temporary License Most experienced attorneys will have a petition for occupational license prepared so that you can get an Occupational License as quickly as possible if the ALR decision is rendered versus you. To avoid suffering a long period of suspension after a hearing, it is well to prepare the ODL, so it can be submitted promptly after the hearing.
Cross Exam Arresting Officer Lots of hearings are held solely on the authorities report, because you win if the authorities did not properly record the proof required for DPS to win. If the officer participates in the hearing, they can treat the shortage with their testimony, rejecting defense the win that was possible only with the insufficient authorities report.
Your legal representative might subpoena the detaining officer to appear at the hearing. This is done for various reasons. If the authorities report is sufficient for DPS to win, then it may be beneficial to subpoena the officer, hoping their lack will permit a defense win. Likewise, if a trial of the DWI case is being considered, the ALR hearing allows the officer to be taken a look at under oath, wishing to find details that will work in trial. Your lawyer will be able to cross-examine the officer appears that the ALR hearings. This provides us with a discovery chance to question the officer who apprehended you. There are a variety of benefits to doing this. Chief among them is that we have the ability to cross-examine officers without the presence of a criminal prosecutor to redirect them or prepare them.
RISK: Police Get to Supplement their report. Some attorneys consider this wise, even if it leads to loss of an otherwise winnable ALR hearing. My choice is to take a win if I can get it and only subpoena the officer if the situation is desperate or the officer's statement is critical to trial preparation. The extra expenditure and difficulty isn't worth it otherwise.
The law enforcement officer will take the individual's driver license and issue a temporary driving authorization.
The notice of suspension functions as your "momentary driving permit." It is marked "DIC-25" and written in the upper right-hand corner. The bottom of your notice explains the best ways to ask for an ALR hearing. It stands motorist's license till either 40 days after arrest or, if a timely demand is produced an ALR hearing, the hearing takes place and a suspension happens. If the ALR judge denies the DPS ask for suspension, your license continues to be valid.
If a hearing is not demanded, the suspension enters into impact on the 40th day after the notice was served. (This is typically 40 days after the arrest.).
You or your lawyer might demand an ALR hearing by calling 800-394-9913 or 512-424-2600 on weekdays throughout regular company hours. You may also send your seek by means of fax at 512-424-2650. The most convenient way to seek a hearing is to take advantage of our FREE ALR seek. To do so, complete our FREE evaluation form to supply us with the info we have to make the ask for you.
In addition to seeking a hearing, your DWI defense attorney might seek ALR "discovery" from the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS). Files obtained through the discovery process – such as peace officer sworn reports, statutory warning types and breath test slips – will frequently assist your DWI defense lawyer in effectively defending your DWI case.
What Are The Essential Info That Must Be Disclosed?
Name, motorist's license number, date of your arrest, county of your arrest, the authorities agency that apprehended you, plus certain other details that the clerk might require. After you have worked with an attorney, ensure that he or she understands that you have asked for an ALR hearing.
In order to effectively suspend somebody's license, DPS should show several aspects by a preponderance of the evidence at the hearing.
Sensible suspicion is a low standard that implies the officer had affordable, articulable truths to believe criminal activity had occurred or was likely to take place.
Also, proof that you appeared to need assistance will be adequate.
This is the concern that provides the defense the most wins, since cops sometimes make stops without legal validation.
Then, DPS needs to show that the officer had sufficientcause to arrest you. Probable cause indicates most likely} than an offense has been happening. An example of likely cause would be anty traffic offense or failed field sobriety test( s) or admitting to drinking alcohol. The legal requirements to meet this test are extremely low, so DPS usually wins this problem.
Understand thatpreponderance of the evidence is an extremely low requirement so DPS frequently wins these hearings. In fact, in north Texas, DPS wins these hearings over 95% of the time. After the hearing, the ALJ will provide a final, appealable decision and order. If the judge finds that DPS has shown its case, the judge will license the suspension of the person's chauffeur's license.
It is useless for untrained persons to appear for ALR hearings, because they are VERY technical. On the other hand, experienced DWI lawyers help the judge find that DPS has actually not shown its case, the individual's chauffeur's license will not be suspended.
( 2) one year if the individual's driving record reveals one or more alcohol-related or drug-related enforcement contacts during the 10 years preceding the date of the person's arrest.
( b) The period of suspension or denial is 2 years if the person's operating record reveals several alcohol-related or drug-related enforcement contacts, as defined by Area 524.001( 3), throughout the Ten Years preceding the date of the person's arrest.
Once your attorney demands the ALR hearing, it can take four weeks to 120 days for DPS to schedule a hearing date. Your legal representative will be alerted of this date, which is typically a couple of weeks to months from the date of the notice.
Because of the intricacies associated with administrative license cancellations and license suspensions, it is always much better to work with an attorney to manage these concerns for you. Your legal representative will seek the hearing, subpoena jailing officer(s), prepare your defense, and argue your case for you.
After the suspension period is over, you may contact your local DPS office to have your license restored. You will be responsible for paying a reinstatement fee, which is at least $125. Your lawyer will have the ability to validate your eligibility for reinstatement prior to you enter by logging into the DPS site.
Yes. You will be required to pay a cost to appeal the underlying decision, however you might appeal the ALR decision. This also grants you more time to operate on your license without the suspension going into result. Regrettably, the law is very beneficial to the administrative judge, so few appeals achieve success.

How volcanologists define "spatter"
Golden syrup might not be the first material to spring to mind if you were after an experimental analogue with which to investigate the effects of 'spatter' around typical Hawaiian basaltic volcano eruptions. But spring it did to the mind of researchers Sumner, Blake, Matela, and Wolff, as recorded in a 2005 paper for the Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research (Volume 142, Issues 1–2, 1 April 2005, pp. 49–65) simply entitled 'Spatter'.
The authors first define 'spatter'.
"We define spatter as an accumulation of originally hot, fluid pyroclasts, which agglutinate on landing. Very fluid magma clots may also splash on landing."
And then go on to describe experiments in which blobs of semi-diluted Golden Syrup were photographically recorded as they were dropped in small amounts from a capillary tube onto a glass surface, and in large blobs via a 7cm diameter glass tube – from heights of up to 3 meters. The idea was to replicate the behaviour of molten blobs of lava falling from a great height.
"Despite its importance throughout the Solar System, the transformation from falling fluid clasts to coherent liquid (lava) has not previously been investigated in detail."
The full paper, with photos, may be found here:
Many thanks for the assistance of Dr. Sumner (Department of Earth Sciences, The Open University, Milton Keynes, UK) who informs Improbable that golden syrup "… is an accepted analog for lava/magma modelling in the geological world." Later papers include, for example 'Relationships between volcano gravitational spreading and magma intrusion' (Bull Volcanol (2012) 74:743–765) describing experiments in which researchers used a tank of golden syrup, pumped by gravity, to grow sugary volcano-ettes.
But, for Improbable, 'who/when/where?' questions are as yet unresolved regarding the first application of golden syrup as a volcanological research model. If anyone can help us, please comment below and let us know.

County Engineer Sarah Farlow reported to commissioners the bridges being re-done near Howe and Scott should re-open in another week to ten days.
Farlow also reported the second floor of the new justice building should be poured Wednesday and the first floor is being framed.
Commissioners approved Farlow's request to replace five doors with electric automatic A-D-A compliant doors at a cost of $24,685. The doors are at the annex building, the jail, the health department building, Dallas Lake and Maplewood Parks.

[Merak] | Oh Look! It's A Blog!
I set up another scene using a BUNCH of things from 6Republic.
The event has been open a few days now, so it should be easier to shop.
There's a new event that opened recently – Frou Frou.
The event caters to lingerie, so most items follow that theme… however I did pick up a new robe!


Shimmering long thin drop earrings on a filigree setting. Two dainty filigree settings host petite clear crystals finished with an oval drop at the base. Design is 1 3/4" in length and 3/8" wide at the base. Earrings hang at 2 1/4" from a CZ encrusted French hook. Rhodium plated, clear crystals. Designed by Haute Bride. Usually leaves our facility in 2-3 business days.

The coup in Saudi Arabia becomes timely with the current renewed media attention about the 28 Pages.
There is no doubt that a transition is taking place in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia's internal struggles for power have been likened to HBO's "Game of Thrones". Unlike Western royal families, the Saudi Monarchy has not had a clearly defined order of succession. Within recent years, an ongoing Saudi coup is starting to take shape. Many internal elements are involved. Factions and vested interests exist not only among the Royal Family, but within the culture, religion, finance, corporations, demographics and their values, fiefdoms, clans, age groups, etc.
Also, in the context of the World's stage where nations and corporations struggle to survive or dominate, there is an additional complex global array of events and scenarios often veiled by the many factors involved. These influences can range from local wars and turmoil, to foreign relations, to the international financial system, to oil, to covert operations and more.
(Note: The word "clan", such as the "Sudairi clan", is used in the video. "Clan" refers to each of the 22 or 24 wives of the founder of Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud. Ibn Saud died in 1953. The Kings of Saudi Arabia have been a son from one of the different wives or "clans" of Ibn Saud.)

NOTE: Be sure to read the comments at the Al-Monitor link about the author and about 9/11. The Al-Monitor is the English version of Al-Hayat. Recently, many "Truth" websites have been circulating an article that supposedly originated from Al-Hayat Daily. I have not seen the original source article. The article is written by Saudi legal expert Katib al-Shammari claiming the U.S. planned the 9/11 attacks to kickstart the global war on terror, but the article has a translation by a dubious MEMRI. http://911blogger.com/news/2016-05-21/saudi-paper-us-carried-out-911-attacks

May 2016 in the Al-Monitor – by Bruce Riedel
Bruce Riedel is a columnist for Al-Monitor's Gulf Pulse. He is the director of the Intelligence Project at the Brookings Institution.
On Sept. 11, 2001, I was in the White House when Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda attacked the United States of America. As the special assistant to the president for Near East and North Africa affairs, I was responsible for dealing with the government of Saudi Arabia, bin Laden's home country and the home of 15 of the 19 hijackers who carried out mass murder that day. There has been much controversy since 9/11 about what role the Saudi government or Saudi government officials may have played in the planning, funding or execution of the attack. Most famously, 28 pages of a Senate report that addressed the Saudi role and was completed shortly after the attacks has been kept classified for over a decade. Little attention has been paid to a recent commission report that examined these issues just last year.

This painting of the "Allegory of Winter" is part of a four-piece series of the seasons. Please see:
Jost and then Freedberg suggested that Frans II Francken had participated in the execution of this picture, painting the pair of figures seated at the table, but Ertz, Werche, and now Neumeister all feel that Van Balen executed all the figures here as in the other three pictures in the series. True that this is a more complex collaboration than others in series, and more difficult to distinguish hands. I don't see why Van Balen couldn't have done main figures at table, though. On the other hand, the figures in the shadows behind the table, a group of musicians, seem entirely different from the other, Van Balenish figures. They look as if Brueghel could have painted them.
Copy of this whole series sold London (Phillips 20.vii.72) #s P33-36.

Not only can the mangosteen boast a royal connection, the fruit is also valued for its high antioxidant concentrations. Mangosteen juice is all the rage, and the much-touted health benefits of the fruit stem from the type of antioxidant found in the fruit, especially in its rind. These antioxidants are categorized as rich and biologically active xanthones (Men's Health). Recommended in multiple studies – including a study from the University of Illinois – xanthones are a focus for cancer treatment and prevention (Dr. Axe). Xanthones also protect against heart attacks and bolster the immune system. Besides its antioxidant value, mangosteen's nutritional profile also provides additional health benefits by helping control blood sugar levels and aiding the digestive system.

The Italian city of Naples is the largest city in southern Italy and is certainly one of the most beautiful, especially around the Bay of Naples. The city was founded by the Greeks and was later enlarged by the Romans all of which is reflected in the city's rich history and stunning architecture. Located to one side of Naples is Mount Vesuvius, and near to the bay are the picturesque islands of Capri, Ischia and Procida, all of which are located close enough for day trips departing from Naples.
The centre of Naples is quite compact and is full of palaces, spectacular churches, monasteries, convents and castles and is the perfect place to stroll around and marvel at the spectacle. Popular attractions are the Duomo, which is an ancient cathedral that dates back to the late 13th century and early 14th century. Also of interest is the Palazzo Reale, the Teatro San Carlo and the Museo Archeologico Nazionale, which is filled with some of the best archaeological exhibits in Italy. Finally, there is the Napoli Sotterranea which is a series of underground tunnels, stairs, rooms and halls that are right in the heart of the city.

Navigating the world of Medicare tells you all you need to know about the healthcare that you can enjoy once you have retired. Medicare is the group that has been working for over a century to provide the American elderly people with health facilities and medications. The Medicare group offers four different types of their programs that are known as parts and they go by the names Part A, Part B, Part C and Part D. These four are the basic plans from Medicare and they provide people with health facilities but they do not offer all the facilities.
To bridge the gap created by Medicare in providing the healthcare, the Medigap plans are also there. There are the supplemental plan and these plans work in association with the original Medicare plans to fulfill the needs of the beneficiaries. These are offered by the private companies either the health insurance ones or the pharmaceutical ones. This has given the people many advantages as the costs of the plans are very affordable and the benefits are many.
But you must know that you should get yourself enrolled in the Medicare Part A and Part B before you can get to buy the supplement plans for you. Just like the Medicare plans were divided into Parts, the Medigap plans are divided into ten different plans. Each plan is different from the other according to the services it is offering, therefore it becomes easier for the beneficiaries to get the plan according to their requirements. Medigap supplement plans go with the letters and they are known as Plan A to Plan N ones, each based on a different schema.
When a person comes looking for one of the Medigap plans, he is asked for what he wants to have and what he is looking forward to and after that the plan that suits him the best is offered to him. There is an enrollment period as well in which the candidate can get enrolled in the Medigap supplement plans. This is called the open enrollment period and it starts as soon as the month in which you will turn 65 starts. Plus you have to be enrolled in the medicare Part B is you wish to avail the Medigap plans. The carriers or the companies offering the supplement plans have the authority to reject you if you are outside this window.

Do I have something on my face?
If one learns anything from a handsomely-told World War II survival fable like Unbroken, it's that if you are marooned at sea for weeks and then tossed into a brutal prison camp, it's best to do so with an Olympic runner by your side. Between the elements, the sharks, and the Japanese prison guards, odds against survival are intensely lopsided. But athletes like Louis Zamperini made their careers by defying odds and redefining the possible through little more than a self-punishing sense of stubbornness. People like him seem to survive, more or less, by refusing to accept limits on their ability to withstand pain.
Zamperini's odds-defying story was told in a bestselling book by Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand. The screen version is directed with an unactorly anonymity by Angelina Jolie in her first mainstream outing (her debut as filmmaker was the 2011 indie Bosnian war drama In the Land of Blood and Honey). Her film handles Zamperini with tender nervousness, as though trying to avoid offending its subject, who died at the age of 97 a few months before the film opened. It needn't have bothered being so careful; Zamperini seems tough enough to have handled just about anything.
Not surprisingly for such a faith-based story, Unbroken starts high in the clouds. The screen is bathed in a pink sunrise gloriousness that reveals a flight of B-24s. Zamperini (Jack O'Connell) is the bombardier, who has to work as both medic and mechanic after Japanese Zeros blow holes in his bomber during a curt, briskly filmed combat scene that's high on thudding adrenaline and low on whooping heroism. After, Zamperini's crew is sent out to locate a downed plane and they have to ditch in the Pacific Ocean themselves. Zamperini and his two fellow survivors, Phil (Domhnall Gleeson) and Mac (Finn Wittrock) endure everything you would expect from drifting for weeks in an inflatable raft with little water and hardly any food, but also the threat of circling sharks and Japanese fighter planes.
As a director, Jolie seems to have learned a few things from Clint Eastwood, whose unfussy but sometimes simplistic approach can be felt here. It's a film that embraces the physical, not the verbal. She threads Zamperini's sea-drifting story with flashbacks to his growing up as a young reprobate in Torrance, California. Young Zamperini (C.J. Valleroy) is a smoking and drinking type encouraged to start running by his older brother as a way of avoiding trouble with local kids who like to beat up Zamperini while calling him "dago" and "wop." Incredibly, Zamperini made it to the 1936 Berlin Olympics as a 19-year-old. The Olympics segment is kept short, triumphant, and nearly wordless, establishing Zamperini as a come-from-behind odds-defier just in time for the film to throw him into prison.
Unbroken's shift from drifting-at-sea story to prison tale is a rough one that the film never quite recovers from. On the raft, the actors quickly establish a calm but steely bond that reverberates after they're separated; particularly between the instantly engaging O'Connell and the often underrated Gleeson. On land, the film's quiet manner becomes more problematic. Hurled into a teeming barracks after a period of isolation that seems even more painful for Zamperini than what he endured on the raft, he is never woven in any dramatic sense into the prison's subterfuge society. The script's underpopulated nature becomes particularly obvious at this stage; it's a strange thing, given that both the highly melodramatic Richard LaGravenese and the astringently verbal Joel and Ethan Coen are credited here.
The struggle is again stripped down to the essentials, getting through alive. Unlike Zamperini's earlier challenges, though, this one features a human obstacle. Japanese guard Mutsohiro Watanabe (Takamasa Ishihara), nicknamed "the Bird" by the prisoners ("he listens") picks out Zamperini as a target of abuse early on and doesn't let up. It's an exercise in torture not unconsciously portrayed as a Christ-like journey through pain to redemption. Zamperini endures all the agony he can for the sake of his fellow prisoners and culminating in a kind of triumphant self-crucifixion.
Like most prison movies, this one steers dangerously close to falling in love with its villain and the punishment he delivers. Ishihara has a silky delicacy and a prim, swift approach to violence that is dancer-like in its elegance. The tight, immaculately framed closeups almost can't help being ravished by his gleeful sadism. From Roger Deakins' polished cinematography to Alexandre Desplat's swooping score and the bright-eyed and sharp-cheekboned cast, Unbroken seems inappropriately pretty for a story of such human ugliness; even the starving, coal ash-covered prisoners look beautiful.
Jolie has a knack for picking out small details, but as a director she is captivated more by the story's elemental sweep than its human components. In her hands, Zamperini is as impressive a figure as can be imagined. But though the film appreciates his vulnerability, showing him nearly fainting in fear at one point, the secret of his strength is never unveiled. He may as well be the Rock of Gibraltar, silent and unmovable.

Home metro 15 houses razed in Ningi community, residents call for govt support
15 houses razed in Ningi community, residents call for govt support
No fewer than 15 houses, farmlands and other properties worth millions of Naira were razed in a mysterious fire at Rafin Ciyawa village in Ningi Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Residents of the village believe the mysterious fire was an arson and could not be ascertained, but its cause is yet to be determined.
A resident, who spoke with Newsmen on the telephone from Ningi on condition of anonymity, informed that people only saw that some houses were on fire, adding that the fire later spread to nearby farmlands.
"No one can specifically say what caused the fire outbreak . People just saw some houses in the village on fire. The fire also spread to farmlands, which were equally destroyed," the resident said.The source then solicited support for families and individuals affected in the incidence to help them bounce back, adding that, "their immediate needs now are clothing, food and shelter."
Confirming the incident to Newsmen on Thursday, the village head of Rafin Ciyawa, Mallam Dahiru Isah, said the fire could have been caused by an arsonist.
He said, "there are no houses close to the affected houses. We wonder how this could have happened if not the handiwork of an arsonist."
He informed that no life was lost in the fire incident, adding that no one was also injured.
Mallam Isah, however, called on the Bauchi State government and kindhearted individuals to come to the aid of the victim of the fire incident by proving food and shelter.
The chairman of Ningi LGA, Muhammad Hassan Tabla, while confirming the incident, though he said he could not give details as he was out of town as of the time of the outbreak.
He said the council was doing everything possible to support the victims.

Directed Verdict for Ford in Seven Week Fuel System Crashworthiness Trial
Cannon v. Ford
CASE RESULTS DEPEND UPON A VARIETY OF FACTORS UNIQUE TO EACH CASE. CASE RESULTS DO NOT GUARANTEE OR PREDICT A SIMILAR RESULT IN ANY FUTURE CASE.
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ - After seven weeks of trial, Middlesex County Superior Court Judge Bryan D. Garruto directed a verdict in favor of Ford Motor Company. RICHARD DOUGLAS CANNON vs. E & D AUTO REPAIR TOWING a/k/a E & D REPAIR, GERARD M. TABER, AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION, INC., NEW JERSEY AUTOMOBILE CLUB, AAA CENTRAL-WEST JERSEY, AAA MID-ATLANTIC, INC., FORD MOTOR COMPANY, MENTOR ENGINEERING, INC. d/b/a MENTOR CAMPANA SYSTEMS, INC. d/b/a CAMPANA and AXIS; AAA CENTRAL-WEST JERSEY (Defendant/Third Party Plaintiff) v. HARLEYSVILLE INSURANCE CMPANY and FORD MOTOR COMPANY (Third Party Defendants), Superior Court of New Jersey, Middlesex County, Case No. MID-L-677-02.
On September 6, 2001, plaintiff Richard "Doug" Cannon's restored 1984 Mustang hatchback stalled in the center southbound lane of Route 1 near the top of an overpass in Avenel, New Jersey. Though the stationary Mustang was visible for over 1,900 feet, the driver of a 13,500 pound flat bed tow truck rear ended the Mustang at about 57 mph. The impact crushed the Mustang's fuel tank between the tow truck's stiff front end and two rigid aftermarket steel pipes Mr. Cannon had welded to the undercarriage of the Mustang to stiffen the Mustang's frame.
Doug Cannon, then a 21-year-old Rutgers University student, was ejected from the Mustang and into a trail of burning gasoline. He sustained third degree burns from his waist up, comprising 59% of his full body surface area. The accident left Mr. Cannon with extensive facial disfigurement, partial blindness, the complete loss of use of his left hand, and other serious injuries for which he still receives extensive treatment.
Plaintiff sued the 23-year-old driver of the tow truck, Gerard Taber; the tow truck company, E & D Towing; AAA Mid Atlantic (AAAMA) who contracted with E & D Towing to provide emergency road service to AAA members; and the American Automobile Association, Inc., (AAA) the national parent organization. At the time of the crash, the E & D tow truck was responding to a call from a AAA member with a flat tire.
Plaintiff also sued two Canadian companies, Mentor, Inc. and Campana Systems, Inc. who manufactured and supplied a mobile data terminal ("MDT") used for digital dispatching in the E & D tow truck. The tow truck driver testified that he did not see the stationary Mustang because he was distracted by a call that had come into the MDT and was reading the MDT's screen shortly before the crash. Plaintiff claimed that the AAA defendants negligently adopted practices requiring tow operators to use the MDT while driving and to respond to road service calls in 30 minutes or less. According to the investigating officer, Mr. Taber was traveling perhaps as fast a 61 mph in a 50 mph zone when he locked up his brakes just 10 feet before hitting the Mustang.
Ford was brought into the case when AAAMA asserted a claim against Ford alleging that the 1984 Mustang's aft of axle fuel tank was uncrashworthy in rear impact accidents. The other defendants cross-claimed against each other, and the plaintiff asserted a claim against Ford. By the commencement of trial, however, the plaintiff had decided not to present evidence adverse to Ford.
AAAMA called Hawthorne, New Jersey professional engineer Donald R. Phillips on the issues of fuel system design and crashworthiness. After a three hour voir dire examination on his qualifications followed by a separate evidentiary hearing on the bases for his opinions, the Court precluded Mr. Phillips' testimony.
"While Mr. Phillips has a degree in mechanical engineering from a notable university, he has no additional education beyond that in the field of engineering at a formal level. He has admitted he is not an automotive engineer. And he has no experience working for an automobile manufacturer. And no direct experience in a production car fuel system. His experience on the job is limited to his modification of the fuel system in some racing vehicles.
As far as his opinions are concerned, they lack a firm foundation for him to express those opinions. . . . He has taken what is an analysis used for a very simplistic piece of machinery, such as a lawnmower or a punch [press] without a guard, and attempted to utilize it in this very complex area without doing the necessary work in order to support his opinion . . . ."
After the New Jersey Court of Appeals rejected an emergency petition by AAAMA to stay the trial for an interlocutory appeal, the trial court directed a verdict on all of the claims and cross-claims against Ford.
Plaintiff's trial witnesses included human factors expert Thomas Dingus from Blacksburg, Virginia. In addition to Donald Phillips, AAAMA called human factors expert Deborah Boehm-Davis from Great Falls, Virginia, and accident reconstructionist Steven M. Schorr from Abington, Pennsylvania. Ford engineer Jack Ridenour also testified as did numerous AAA national and AAAMA employees. As of May 24, the trial was proceeding against the other defendants with an anticipated completion date of the week of June 4, 2007.
Ford Motor Company was represented by Paul G. Cereghini of Bowman and Brooke in Phoenix, Arizona, C. Paul Carver of Bowman and Brooke in Minneapolis, Minnesota and James S. Dobis of Dobis, Russell & Peterson in Livingston, New Jersey.
Plaintiff was represented by Alfred D. DiMiero of Mella and DiMiero in Summit, New Jersey. E & D Towing and its driver were represented by Michael Marone and Peter A. Gaudioso of McElroy, Deutsch & Mulvaney, LLP in Morristown, New Jersey. AAA, Inc. was represented by Michael Graham of Garrity, Graham, Favetta & Flinn, P.C. in Montclair, New Jersey and Jay Train of Weinberg, Wheeler, Hudgins, Gunn & Dial in Atlanta, Georgia; AAAMA was represented by Judith A. Heim of the office of Heim & Lamastra in Warren, New Jersey and Thomas A. Kuzmick of Rawle & Henderson in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Mentor, Inc. was represented by Adam Levy of the Law Office of Mauro C. Casci in Leonardo, New Jersey and Campana Systems, Inc. was represented by Stacy Christmas of Worthington & Worthington, in Jamison, Pennsylvania.
