Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and the number of new cancer cases is expected to rise to 22 million within the next two decades, according to the United States' National Cancer Institute.
Cancer was responsible for 8.8 million deaths in 2015. Globally, nearly 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer, reports the World Health Organization.
Treatment options for most types of cancer include chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. While treatment varies depending on the type and stage of the cancer, chemotherapy is widely used and often in combination with other treatment methods.
Chemotherapy destroys cancer cells by targeting rapidly dividing cells. But during the process, normal cells that divide rapidly also get damaged, which can cause a lot of side effects.
The normal cells most likely to be damaged by chemotherapy include blood-forming cells in the bone marrow, hair follicles, and cells in the mouth, digestive tract and reproductive system. Certain chemo drugs can also damage cells in the heart, kidneys, bladder, lungs and nervous system.
Side effects of chemotherapy reduce over time, as the body repairs the damage to normal cells. Fortunately, cancer cells can't repair themselves very well.
Cancer patients will experience different side effects, depending on the type of chemotherapy, the amount of medicine, the length of treatment and overall general health.
Most side effects go away shortly after the chemotherapy. However, some may take several months to go away completely.
Note: Always tell your doctor and oncology nurse about any side effects that you may be experiencing due to chemotherapy.
Here are some of the common side effects of chemotherapy and how to manage them.
Once chemotherapy starts, most patients complain of fatigue and general weakness.
A 2012 study published in the Indian Journal of Palliative Care found that severe fatigue was more prevalent in patients receiving chemotherapy or concurrent chemo-radiation treatment as compared to radiotherapy.
The persistent exhaustion and weakness can make it hard to do everyday activities. In some patients, chemotherapy can lead to anemia and low red blood cell counts, which can worsen the fatigue.
Also, the emotional aspects of coping with cancer and related pain can contribute to the fatigue.
Allow yourself to rest and even take several short naps during the day, if needed.
Don't waste energy on unimportant things.
Be ready to ask for help from family, friends and neighbors.
Make an effort to do a little exercise like a short walk or light yoga to boost your energy level.
Follow the diet recommended by your doctor. Healthy amounts of proteins, vitamins, minerals and calories can help fight fatigue.
Be sure to only use treatments and other suggestions that are prescribed or recommended by your doctor.
Another common side effect is nausea and vomiting. This mainly occurs as a result of the damage to healthy cells in the stomach and intestinal lining.
A 2016 study published in the Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare found that chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting continues to be a problem that adversely affects patients' daily lives.
Antinausea medications are often given in conjunction with chemotherapy drugs to help alleviate this symptom.
Ginger supplements as well as acupressure can also help.
A 2011 study published in Oncology & Hematology Review reports that ginger is the most abundantly used supplement for the prevention and/or reduction of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. Also, acupuncture and acupressure can be used to treat these side effects.
Another study published in Support Care Cancer in 2012 reports that ginger supplementation at daily doses of 0.5 to 1.0 gram significantly aids in reducing the severity of acute chemotherapy-induced nausea in adult cancer patients.
Put 1 tablespoon of sliced ginger root in 1½ cups of hot water and allow it to simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Stain and add a little honey and lemon juice for taste. Drink this ginger tea daily to aid digestion and ease nausea and vomiting. You can also take ginger in supplement form after consulting your doctor. As an added benefit, ginger is good at fighting cancer cells, so it can help increase the effectiveness of your chemotherapy treatment.
Locate the acupressure point P6 between the two large tendons under your thumb. Press this point in circular motions for a couple of minutes. Repeat on the other wrist as well. Do this once or twice a day.
Avoid eating greasy foods that can upset your stomach.
Eat bland foods in small quantities throughout the day.
Eat five or six small meals rather than three big ones.
Take your time when you eat and drink.
Do not lie down right after eating, as it may lead to vomiting.
Many types of chemo treatments can lead to hair loss. Losing one's hair, especially for women, can be very depressing.
Along with the hair on the head, chemotherapy can affect one's eyelashes, eyebrows, armpit hair and pubic hair. Hair loss generally occurs about one to three weeks after the initial treatment.
A 2014 study published in the British Journal of Dermatology reports that hair loss is most prominent after six weeks of chemotherapy. Within three months after cessation of chemotherapy, hair growth rate returns to baseline values.
While it is not possible to stop the hair loss completely, you can try and manage it.
A 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association reports that scalp-cooling caps can help prevent hair loss in patients going through chemotherapy.
Wash your hair with mild moisturizing shampoos and conditioners.
Use soft-bristle brushes to brush your hair, a couple of times a day.
Avoid hair products with harsh chemicals, such as hair dyes or permanents.
Try a new hairdo. Cutting your hair short can make it look thicker and fuller. If needed, wear a wig or decorative scarf.
Wear a scarf in cold weather.
If you have lost your hair to chemotherapy, do not be disheartened. Take care of your scalp by applying a gentle lotion and using sunscreen to protect your it from the sun to help. This will help in healthy hair growth after chemotherapy.
During chemotherapy, the lining of your stomach and intestines become damaged. This can cause diarrhea. Patients may experience loose, watery stools several times a day. It can also be accompanied by nausea, bloating and cramps.
A 2007 study published in Current Oncology reports that chemotherapy-induced diarrhea is a severe and frequently undertreated side effect of cancer therapy that requires prompt and effective management to prevent complications, maintain the chemotherapeutic regimen and improve patients' quality of life.
Another study published in 2010 in Therapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology reports that chemotherapy-induced diarrhea is caused by changes in intestinal absorption and might be accompanied by excessive electrolyte and fluid secretion.
Also, diarrhea may be a consequence of biochemical changes caused by chemotherapy.
There are ways to deal with this side effect.
A 2009 study published in the Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition demonstrates that probiotics should be considered for advanced breast cancer patients with chemotherapy-induced diarrhea.
Eat a cup of yogurt with live, active cultures a few times a day to maintain a healthy balance of "good" bacteria in your gut.
Eat small, frequent meals for easy digestion. Also, choose foods that are easy to digest, such as applesauce, white rice and bananas.
Avoid high-fat as well as fried foods.
Limit milk and milk products, as they are hard to digest.
Some types of chemotherapy can cause sores inside the mouth and on the mucous lining of the throat and digestive tract. These sores are known as mucositis, which can cause pain and infections, making it difficult to eat, drink and swallow.
A 2004 study published in Neoplasia reports that oral mucositis is an extremely serious and challenging complication of both radiation and chemotherapy in cancer patients.
A 2008 study published in Dental Clinics of North America reports that management of oral mucositis is largely focused on palliative measures, such as pain management, nutritional support and maintenance of good oral hygiene.
Dissolve 1 teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and use it to rinse your mouth 5 or 6 times a daily. You can also use ½ baking soda instead of salt.
Choose a soft-bristle brush for brushing your teeth.
If toothpaste irritates your mouth, look for other alternative options. Here's a recipe you can use to whip up your own natural homemade toothpaste.
Drink plenty of fluids. Use a straw to drink water and other liquids, if it's helpful.
Try to eat slowly. Food should be cut into small pieces and chewed completely.
Avoid extremely hot and cold foods as well as crunchy and spicy foods.
Avoid acidic foods and beverages like tomatoes, grapes, apples or apple juices, alcohol and sodas.
Rinse your mouth with water before and after every meal.
Some types of chemotherapy can affect your sense of taste. Your favorite food may taste differently.
Short-term mental fog after treatment is common.
Some people may become more sensitive to sunlight in the months following treatment.
Some may experience constant and unpleasant itchiness. In some cases, the skin may become extremely dry and red.
Men recovering from bladder, colon, prostate and rectal cancer may experience sexual dysfunction.
Platinum-based chemotherapy drugs can cause progressive, irreversible hearing loss in some patients.
Chemotherapy sometimes causes headaches, muscle pain, stomach pain and even pain from nerve damage.
Chemotherapy related to neuropathy can cause problems with balance and difficulty walking.

As one man can defeat ten men, so can one thousand men defeat ten thousand. However, you can become a master of strategy by training alone with a sword, so that you can understand the enemy's stratagems, his strength and resources, and come to appreciate how to apply strategy to beat ten thousand enemies.
You must be in a place where man-made objects such as buildings, towers, castles, and such do not obstruct your view, as well as facing or standing in a position where the sun or moon does not affect your vision. This is purely so that your vision is focused on nothing but the enemy, and thus there is more concentration upon the enemy's stratagems.
You must look down on the enemy, and take up your attitude on slightly higher places.

Considerations Addressed to the Archbishop of Dublin and the Clergy Who Signed the Petition to the House of Commons for Protection*
From: Collected Writings of J.N. Darby: Ecclesiastical 1 By: John Nelson Darby
John 4:36 • 42 min. read • grade level: 14
[The following paper, printed now more than eight and thirty years ago, speaks for itself. It was sent privately to the Archbishop and Clergy, having been written some time before it was printed, and withheld, from anxiety as to the justness of the step; the course of the Archbishop and Clergy, with which I had from circumstances nothing personally to do, having greatly tried my spirit, and I was about twenty six years old at the utmost, when it was written. I may mention that just at that time the Roman Catholics were becoming Protestants at the rate of boo to Boo a week. The Archbishop (Magee) imposed, within the limits of his jurisdiction, the oaths of allegiance and supremacy; and the work everywhere instantly ceased. I remember Mr. R. Daly, since a prelate of the Establishment, saying to me after receiving it, You ought to become a Dissenter. I said, No; you have got into the wrong, and you want to put me there-but that you will not do. I attach no importance to the paper, which I have never read since, but as the first germing of truth which has since developed itself in the Church of God. It is published therefore just as it was first printed. All the actors are passed, everything is changed, so that there is no indiscretion in publishing it now.]
MY LORD AND BRETHREN,
I submit to you the following thoughts, occasioned originally by the Metropolitan Charge and Clerical Petition; but suppressed hitherto, from anxiety to take no step which I could not maturely judge to be taken according to the will of God. I do not publish them, because my object was to bring before the minds of those concerned the view which pressed upon my own, and by no means to make the world a judge of the conduct of Christ's ministers, which it is not, unless they err from their principles; and if they do, it would be my part, while I might state my mind to them, to cover the fault as it regards the world, where I supposed there was a fault committed. This feeling has guided my conduct on the occasion, and I cannot but feel happy at the delay, as it has given the opportunity of bringing forward some other things, which will, I think, assist in determining the true character of the views from which they originate. If there should be anything harsh in the expression, I beseech your forgiveness, and that you will attribute it to the anxiety of a mind actuated only by the desire that the conduct of those he loves and looks up to should be free, even from the imputation of error. I send it to the Archbishop, not presumptuously, but with the respect due to his station and office, and with the earnest trust he will weigh the matter fully: and I send it to the Clergy, because, by their petition they seem to have recognized and taken advantage of the supposed support claimed in the Charge; and I earnestly commend it to their attention, not suggesting any particular thing (which I do not feel to be my part), but calling their minds to weigh the place they stand in themselves.
I have long felt deeply anxious on the subject, and it seems to me that a sincere and deep interest in the work of the Spirit of God which is going on in this country, and a consciousness that (while the Spirit of God distributes to every man severally as He will, and my prayers are offered up that He may do so freely and abundantly) the ministers of the Established Church have many of them been partakers of His energies, and acted in the furtherance of them, call for an inquiry into the principles contained in this Charge. No man whose mind has been informed on these subjects can doubt (and least of all those to whom I address myself, who have themselves borne witness to it by their heartfelt interest in its progress; nay, the world, which can know nothing of the real work, has been compelled to own in its effects) the manifestation of the power of the Divine Spirit which has begun a work in this country, which I fully hope will not end in it, and is of no country, but of the power of that kingdom which shall fill the whole earth. Under these circumstances all who enter into the work of God, as ministers in the power of the same Spirit, are urgently called upon to recognize their just place, to consider, as far at least as their own conduct is concerned, what the order of the operation is, that they may follow in simplicity, and unhindered by any inconsistency of personal or assumed character, the guidance and workings of the Eternal Spirit. They are bound to hold themselves (I speak this not as urging a claim, but expressing the assumed conviction of their own minds) as servants of Jesus Christ, and who therefore cannot consistently yet please men. They will feel it their faithful and zealous concern, therefore, as far as in them lies, in order that they may be the servants of all men to their eternal welfare, to be free from all men, not to be " the servants of men " as in the world, that they may minister, preaching not themselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and themselves the servants of such as have ears to hear for His sake. With this view they are called (I do humbly suggest to them) to owe no man anything; called therefore with jealousy to judge, authorized by their obligation to their one Master who has an undivided claim to their service, anything that would prejudice that claim and the consistency of their own conduct with the blessed work which in His grace He has committed them to do: and I do persuade myself, that they have too deep an interest in the work and reign of Him who redeemed them, not to consider with attention any suggestion which reaches them relative to the interests of His name, and the free course of His word to souls. These considerations weigh with me to induce the communication of the following thoughts. The Charge and Petition appear to the public, with the sanction of their names; and bound as I must be to suppose, that this must carry to the world a representation of their sentiments, which they might find difficulty in gainsaying, I am emboldened to bring these documents under the maturer consideration of those who are disposed to avow, however humbly as individuals yet openly as servants, their identification with the interests of the Son of God, who loved them and gave Himself for them. I do feel, if they assume such an office and character, they are bound to approve themselves in it throughout, in that world where they must have every motive and all their conduct canvassed, and where the honor of their Master's name, the name of the Lord, who gave Himself for the church, that He might present it to Himself a glorious church, without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing, will be charged in their persons, with every even error of theirs, while they will be used as proofs against them, that they cannot be the ministers of God, seeing they are in such and such things contrary to the character imprinted on the ministry by their Master, and thus their ministry hindered as towards those who might receive it, and who, in fact for the most part, judge by such very means. I am indeed persuaded that it has pleased God too decidedly (and I have entire faith in the continuance of it) to manifest His power to show forth the character of those who are His, to suffer the work itself to be countervailed by any particular act, though inconsistent. But I am equally persuaded that this work will be carried on by the maintenance of that same sincerity of service, ministering the truth in love, which the Lord has ever used for its promotion, and that those who look for a part in the heavenly work, who look to be owned as laborers with Him in that day, so that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together, must look for it in the consistency of their own labor with the spirit and judgment and actual work of Him with whom they seek to rejoice. Impossible that they can gather the fruit of His blessed suffering and divine labor, so as to be glorified with Him by the display of it as the fruit of the travail of His soul, but as His laborers as working in conformity with the spirit in which He wrought. I turn from this, which I speak as the undoubted sentiment of those who are engaged in the work and labor of love, to consider the consistency of certain views and acts with these acknowledged principles; if they be acknowledged, they are unquestionably paramount to all motives, and we are able and bound to judge all acts by them, so as to regulate our own conduct with certainty before God: itself a matter of solid comfort to those who find their exercise in proving what the good and acceptable and perfect will of God is. And surely it does become those who, under the influence of the sense of God's mercies of which they have been made partakers, are disposed to present their bodies a living sacrifice, and not to be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of their minds, if in anything they may have seemed to have acquiesced in conformity to that which crucified the Lord of glory, to let judgment have its free course in their own minds, lest they be further entangled in error, lest the clearness and decision of their moral judgment, on which under God their efficient service, to say the least, in the work of God so much depends, should be impaired.
To apply myself then to that which has given occasion to the expression of these thoughts. We have the following public acts-a Charge from the Metropolitan, stating the ground on which the Church stands, and then Petitions forwarded by the instrumentality of the hierarchy, seeking the exercise of civil authority for the protection of that Church as a body in this country. To these I beg attention. It is to be remarked that the Charge is stated to be published at the request of the Clergy, and the Petition is signed by a numerous body of them to say the least, and ostensibly is the act of them as a body interested in the cause of true religion in this country. As there are, thank God! many in the orders of the Church of
Ireland who are zealous ministers of divine truth, and as they might seem included in the above general body, it is to them particularly that I address myself. I am not going to discuss the merits of the Archbishop's Charge at all. I purposely decline it. My business is with the principles contained and expounded in it. It amounts to a claim on behalf of the Established Church to protection from the civil Sovereign, founded on these two positions-that the civil Sovereign is bound and has accordingly the right to choose the best religion for his people, and that the Established Church has every character on which such a choice ought to depend; but, in doing this, the Charge gives a statement of the foundation, nature, and office of the Church, in the principles of which no clergyman zealous in his office as a minister of the Church of Christ, could, I submit, acquiesce.
What is the Church of Christ in its purpose and perfection? And our Lord has taught us to ascribe whatever is inconsistent with this to the hand of an enemy. It is a congregation of souls redeemed out of ' this naughty world ' by God manifest in the flesh, a people purified to Himself by Christ, purified in the heart by faith, knit together, by the bond of this common faith in Him, to Him their Head sitting at the right hand of the Father, having consequently their conversation (commonwealth) in heaven, from whence they look for the Savior, the Lord of glory; Phil. 3:2020For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: (Philippians 3:20). As a body, therefore, they belong to heaven; there is their portion in the restitution of all things, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. On earth they are, as a people, necessarily subordinate; they are nothing and nobody; their King is in heaven, their interests and constitution heavenly. " My kingdom is not of this world: if it were, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews." As such, consequently, they have no power. The result is, that they are formed into a spiritual community; they are raised, by their Head and center and source of hope and object of allegiance being in heaven, to be heavenly. They are delivered in spirit out of this present evil world, and become heavenly, spiritual, in their connections, interests, thoughts, and prospects; while their habits on earth are those, by necessary consequence, of pilgrims and strangers, adorning (by consistent humility, gentleness, patience, and kindness) the grace of which they have been made partakers, through faith which works by love, while they avow and are in their own persons witnesses of the divine dominion. Their personal and common delights are correspondent, and their activities flow from this spring and have their motive and their order in the interests of this kingdom of divine love and grace.
What is the Papacy? Satan's fiction to answer to all this. While men are kept down in the lowest desires of a depraved world, in the bondage of the corrupt affections of a nature alienated from the gift of God, it presents a head on earth, earthly in his interests and in his objects, knitting together in a body, not a people separated out of the world to spiritual objects, but one tied by the closest interests to maintain his earthly supremacy, and with it their own importance upon earth, and in an earthly way; and by this universal and astonishing scheme of antichristianity, which is antitheism, precluding the application of the divine word, the instrument of divine sovereignty, to the souls of men. In short, the system of Popery I look upon as an entire counterpart of the Christian scheme, set up by Satan on the decay of faith to hold its place, uniting men to an earthly head and to each other by those interests from which Christianity delivers, and keeping the world in bondage, instead of leading men to heavenly things out of those interests, to be humbled in the presence of the world's dominion The members of the papal system will accordingly be found, in their interests, objects, and activities, such as would result from such a system. We know, blessed be God! that, in result, the kingdom of His Son will be glorified in the splendor of its great Head, and the destruction of that antichristian counterpart, by which Satan has deceived the nations under the pretense of Christianity.
Further, what is the ministry of the Church of Christ? They are as ambassadors in Christ's stead, beseeching men to be reconciled to God, and ministering that grace and truth of which the fullness is in Him, according to the wisdom given unto them, gathering that very congregation of souls of which I have spoken, and edifying them when gathered. They are even in the language of an office, which, in its main purport, looked to all being outwardly, at least, within its own cure, " on the one hand, to teach, to admonish, to feed, and provide for the Lord's family; on the other, to seek for Christ's sheep that are dispersed abroad, and for His children who are in the midst of this naughty world, that they might be saved through Christ forever." Their ministry is coextensive with their Master's grace; their testimony with His claim of dominion over the souls of men. I am not now speaking of the order of its exercise, as between two or more working within their own rule; but as regards the nature of the duty of all, the place which they all occupy as ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God, there is a solemn obligation on them as ministers of Christ; and if there be anything in their present position, or the exigency of the season, which would imprint a special, I do not say an exclusive character, on their office, it is the renewed manifestation of the gospel of Him, whose Spirit and word have commission to the ends of the earth. This, while it constitutes their office, constitutes their obligation, gives a decided, formal principle of action, more or less developed, according to the measure of faith. In the execution of this office of ministering the word of grace and truth, they are met by the great system which Satan has raised to blind men's hearts, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine into them. They, therefore, find themselves in collision with the Papacy, as a system of darkness, in collision with its influence on the souls of men; and it becomes their business in consequence to contend against its delusion, and expose the artifices of Satan, by which souls are kept from coming to God by Jesus Christ; and in this they are the ministers of Christ, working in His spiritual strength to the fulfillment of the purposes of His grace.
What then does this Charge propose as the position of the Clergy? It views the Papacy, in its practical operation, exercising that intruding spirit, and proposing that claim, however modified or concealed for the sake of expediency, which necessarily flows from the character which it assumes as holding the authority of Christ, the Pope gerere personam Christi (seeking to impersonate Christ), while it is altogether earthly, and I cannot avoid saying, the instrument and plan of Satan, exercising dominion here by his delusions-here, the only place where by his delusions he can, under a false name, wear the robe of authority, which he once openly exercised in the plenitude of heathen mythology. It views the Papacy, I say, making inroads by this power in its earthly shape, and calling by seducing arts the kingdom which has been delivered from its direct authority, again to give his power to it. It views it in its results as affecting the State as proposing a dominion inconsistent with the supremacy of the civil Sovereign. To what does it lead the Clergy thereupon? It holds them up to public view in their relation to the State, as formed upon principles which make them useful to the State, subservient to its purposes, in resisting subjection to this renewed satanic dominion over the world. If counseling the State, this might be all well; if it were a speech in parliament, it might have its place; on temporal grounds its arguments might be strong, why the State should uphold the interests of the Established Church. With this I have nothing to do. It presents itself as specifically calling on the Clergy to recognize their own due position. It is on this ground I enter on the consideration of it. And what place does it give them? The result of the whole is this-they are harmonized with the State and subservient to its supremacy for the effectuation of its moral government in order to the happiness of the subject people; and it is its adequacy to this, as being loyal, social, Protestant, etc., which is proposed as its claim on the Sovereign for his support, while it is (being thus embodied with the State) harmless, as not affecting any independent authority. In result, in order to its claim of support, it must be subservient to the interests of the civil Sovereign, its movements and conduct must be governed by the interests of the Sovereign to this extent; in a word, the Clergy in their office become " instituted orders of the State," and the ecclesiastical supremacy is made to consist, not only in the Sovereign's duty, and therefore right, to choose what he deems a true religion for his people, and thereon be a judge of faith so far, but further, in having the ordering of the ministration under his control, and being the head of discipline. In one sense the former part of this may be true, but, on the principles of the Charge, is a mere substitution of the civil Sovereign for the Pope, such as Henry VIII introduced, and which made the German Protestants refuse to ally themselves with him. And in truth he is an illustration of the words of the Charge; he threw off the supremacy of the Pope in the assertion of his own supremacy as Sovereign, and chose what he deemed to be a true religion for his people.
I quote one passage: " The Sovereign cannot prescribe in favor of a system that maintains a spiritual supremacy independent of civil government," pp. 29-30. There is a spiritual supremacy independent of civil government, the spiritual supremacy of Christ, of which the Clergy are ministers
-not an earthly dominion, but the very contrary. But when our Lord was brought before Pilate and charged with being a king, He did not affirm the harmlessness of His religion, by stating its amalgamation of interests with the State, or that it was merely " another aspect of the same body," but unqualifiedly assented to the position, " witnessed a good confession," that it was a kingdom, but not of this world.
The statement of the Charge is in plain hostility to the view and judgment of our Lord, when Satan was endeavoring to bring Him into jeopardy by the very imputation. But the Scripture is as plain as possible; it presents God claiming in the Person of the Son the homage of spiritual faith. So that, " he that believeth not should be damned," for he rejects divine authority claiming obedience to the faith. It presents civil Sovereigns instituted for the purpose of controlling outward evil, to use its own words, " for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well "-so that they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation, for they resist the same divine authority. And thus viewed, there is no possibility of collision; for the ministers who claim obedience to the faith from all nations are the ministers of the same authority, and whose business is the claim of subjection to that authority from which the other flows. Neither God, I speak with reverence, nor His Spirit in His ministers, is divided against Himself, and he who denies the authority of the Sovereign in the things which belong to Czsar cannot be speaking by the Spirit of that God who gave the Sovereign that authority, or He would be divided against Himself. The truth is, the apprehension of the heavenly kingdom perfectly clears the whole matter-it has no right place in the world but tribulation and trial, or its casual rest is of the supreme mercy.

Non eripit mortalia
Qui regna dat ccelestia."
Translation-Hymn of the early Church.
" O wicked Herod, impious foe,
Why dost thou fear Christ's coming here?
He snatches not at transient thrones
Who heavenly kingdoms can confer."
But to give up the rightful dominion of the Son of God, in order to avoid the imputation of seeking civil power, or rather to preserve ourselves from the inroads of one who seeks it on apostate grounds, is surely inconsistent, I do not mean in intention but in fact, with fidelity to the glory of the great Head of the Church, humbled for our sakes, and resulting (where taken as a principle of conduct) either in opposition, however mitigated or modified, or at least in the dread of the spiritual energies by which that kingdom of eternal blessing is maintained and promoted. Does not the system of Christian faith " assume the inherent right to establish itself in every country? " Is it not, by authority more than human, " essentially supreme in spiritual matters over all? " Are not both " prince and people bound to submit to its mandates, as to the great Head of the Christian Church? " And are not " they who refuse to do so rebels against a rightful sovereignty? " Are not all in truth and reality the subjects of its sway, whether they will acknowledge it or not? And am I, because Satan has imitated this in an apostate earthly dominion carried on under its name, to give this up (could Satan wish better?) and to dwindle Christianity into a system harmonized with a particular community, for the purposes of its moral happiness? Is not the great authority of Christian faith as much relinquished by this as by anything else? It is surely, for this is the result- a strange way of opposing Satan's wiles, to give up the claim and possession by which alone he can be overcome. The apostate dominion of the Papacy is not to be met therefore on the part of the Clergy, by calling the aid of the State to resist its temporal dominion, but by their overcoming the strong man armed as the active, forward ministers of Him who is stronger than he; not by waiting till they are attacked, as if their interests were the thing in question; but now that God has been pleased to shed* forth His Spirit, in their due places ministering the spiritual sword, by which they are called upon to deliver poor fellow sinners from thralldom, going, and actively opening men's eyes, and turning them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive the remission of sins, and an inheritance among them that are sanctified by faith in the Lord of glory. If this be not the place of the Clergy, what place have they? If they are not bound to establish Christianity wherever the Lord opens a door, what are they for? Or, are we to rest in that position which Dean Tillotson, on reflection, wept over, " that no man has a right to establish Christianity in any country, without the consent of the civil government, except he had miracles to support him? " This, I really think to be the genuine result of the principles of the Charge, and indeed to flow from the right of a Sovereign to choose the religion he deems best, in the sense the Charge gives it: in one sense I have said it is his duty. My meaning is this-where the divine authority promulgates the faith of Christ, i.e., reveals the Son of God, a submission to Him is an obligation resulting as necessarily as that of obedience to God generally revealed, and the Monarch, or civil Sovereign, is as much bound to recognize it as the dominion of God Himself; and thus, if this be called a duty to choose a religion, he certainly has his choice, being founded on a proposal of obedience to faith in God, similar to that on which the salvation of an individual depends; but all this is a consistent assertion of the dominion of Christ, not an escape from it. But I have said, that the placing the Church in this relinquishment of the high calling of God does practically tend to stop its active exertions; indeed, it has no pretense for it else. They may be ministers of moral order, as they have been too often degraded to; but their active, zealous exertions, as Christian ministers, would be intolerable, if Christ had not committed such a ministry to them. It is true, it is brought to soul as an offer of grace, because God is not only supreme, but supreme love; but while they, in their conduct, neither against the law of the Jews, nor the temple, nor yet against Caesar, offend anything at all, they bear a direct authoritative message from God, to everyone who has a conscience by which he is subject to God. They may, in consequence, be brought to suffer from those who reject their Master, and the divine authority; they may show their innocence when called to answer thereupon as troublers of the common peace; but this done, their proper vindication is, when He shall appear for whose name they have suffered: here they appear but as doing well and suffering for it.
But what is the result of such a position as to the Clergy? They confine themselves within the bounds of social order whose interests they support. They protest against the encroachments of the adverse powers, which would upset the system to which they are attached, and themselves along with it, if it had its way; but there they stop. They cannot honestly attack Satan's kingdom; for to do that, and then cry out because they are abused by his agents, seems to me unworthy conduct, inconsistent with the honor of, and their integrity to, Him (an integrity manifested by conformity flowing from the influence of His Spirit) who was hated, persecuted, spoken all manner of evil against, for the very same reason. It may be the interest of a body who are maintaining worldly order to keep up their worldly credit, in order to that general influence which will cement society, and which is exactly the office which the Charge proposes to the Clergy. But, with this in view, it is manifest they must let Satan alone; for do they expect to attack him, and him to hold his tongue, and leave them in credit, if he can help it, and suffer the prey to be snatched out of his hands? It is therefore expressly the business of a minister of God the Savior to approve himself such, in honor and dishonor, evil report and good report, whether Christ, or they, for His sake, be blasphemed on the enemy's part, or on the believer's part be glorified; and it seems to be a direct flight from following Christ in this, to claim a refuge from the persecution and dishonor which attend His name; and this is the result (0 consider it! brethren) of attaching yourselves to a system, to which worldly credit is necessary, in order to maintain its influence, or whose members at least identify themselves with the honor and security of the world. A civil Sovereign may indeed afford a refuge in such a case, but it can be only by the desertion of that reproach which will ever attend the name of Christ when it is brought into the trial of the enemy. I cast no reproach on those who look for it, who do not (let me be forgiven for so speaking) see it with the eye of faith: ill would it become me, and most far from my feeling to do so. I only entreat those who believe, who in principle do judge with me, who esteem the reproach of Christ, who look to the ministry of His kingdom, and speak the words of His blessed grace, or those who may be willing to weigh them, to weigh these things. I write for them. I have, I trust under the guidance of the Spirit, discussed these principles merely as they affect their conduct; but I say, it does suppose (I mean, recourse to the civil Sovereign for protection as a body; for remonstrance against the unjust exercise of the magistratorial power is another thing), that they confine themselves to a ministry of moral order, which will be found never to go beyond this world, or to be of faith, of real subjection to Christ; as contrasted to seeking a people for Christ from the dominion of Satan, as Christ's servants.
And here I am led to the Petition, which, as well as the Charge, bears me out; the latter calling it " manly protests," which is exactly the limits of self defense as a national, and therefore earthly constituted body; the former, by suggesting, as the very ground of the application for protection, their " confining themselves to the quiet discharge of their proper duties." The language of the Petition bears out, in a way I had not myself previously adverted to, the view I had taken of the principles of the Charge to be accurate. It shows that the petitioning Clergy, " influenced by a love of peace, and by a desire of avoiding even the appearance of political discussion, have been hitherto withheld from approaching your Honorable House, against the hostility and calumny with which they and their religion have been, for a length of time, systematically assailed, under the pretense of seeking civil and religious liberty, but with the real design of obtaining powers subversive of both, and with the hope of overturning the established religion, by the defamation of its Clergy, and the misrepresentation of their faith. While any doubt could remain that such designs and such hopes existed, your Petitioners were desirous, though exposed to daily vexations, and insults, and injuries, to submit in silence, and endeavor, by the quiet discharge of their proper duties, to soften the violence of their enemies, although they had but too good reason to be convinced, that these their enemies were such from being enemies to their Church."
This is clearly a Petition for protection against defamation of the Clergy, as tending to destroy the Establishment; laying as a ground for it their having confined themselves to the quiet discharge of their proper duties. Either this means their duties as members of the Establishment, which in fact it does mean, and then the result, especially when we join it with the Charge, is to confine the whole energy of the Clergy by the measure of its consistency with their relation to the State; or else leaving it open to the Clergy to use their utmost endeavors for the conversion of souls to God from blindness and error, and then, when interfered with, which we may admit, it appeals for protection from this, on this ground, that they were only quietly discharging their proper duties in their volunteer
efforts in the cause of delivering men from antichristian darkness. Surely they ought to count the cost before they engage in such an enterprise, and not, when they begin to feel the brunt of the enemies' violence, to apply to extrinsic aid, alleging they were only quietly discharging their proper duties. I entreat those who value the representation which God gives in the scripture, of the state, refuge, and resources of His Church and people, as owned by Him, to compare that (I could not bring myself to do it) with the position here given them. I do own, when I consider this whole matter, and the bearing of scripture upon it, connected with circumstances on which I will not venture to touch, I could weep at men whom I love and respect, having unwittingly put their hands to this Petition.
In short, I do feel that ministers of God are called upon to entertain the question-is it our duty or calling, according to the gift bestowed upon us, to enter into conflict with the power of darkness? or do we believe that the Roman Catholic system in this country is a manifestation of it? If they do, let them fairly look to it; and count whether with ten thousand they are able to meet him that cometh against them with twenty thousand; or else let them send embassies of peace: if not, let them hold themselves to their own flocks, and instruct them as well as they can, if they are allowed by God to do so; but the fact is, that they have come forward-rather let us say, that God has manifested His light in the world, and I do feel something of the applicability of that sentence, " He that is not with me is against me." But if this be so, surely their place is the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ-their business, to endure hardness as good soldiers of His. This patience is one of the characteristics of His servants, a necessary one in the conflict with darkness. One peculiar snare stands in their way in the present times, by which Satan would mix and so destroy the proper character of this work, one which his own subtlety has provided-this is that, having mixed Roman Catholic interests with this world and so given other men an interest in this world against them in preserving their freedom, he has added a political question to the religious one: from this snare in its broad lines the Clergy have kept themselves free. I propose to them, whether in a weaker shape apparently, though in my mind a worse one, as affirming themselves as a body acting on their own interests, and claiming alliance with the State to support them, such a claim of protection be not the same; that is, whether it leave them at perfect liberty to pursue, according to the wisdom of God, the guidance of the Spirit, in the energies that are mercifully exhibiting in this now highly favored country. As far as my recollection goes, they will find nothing scriptural to bear them out. The ministers of Christ go on steadily then in their own course, as bearing God's commission, and suffer with Him, whom they have no reason to expect to be above finding their solace in sympathy with Him and one another, and the consciousness that herein they were partakers of the sufferings of Christ, and workers together even with God. Why should my beloved and honored brethren (actuated, I fear not to say, by the same spirit) choose a lower place, choose not to have the fellowship of His sufferings? I know they would not-I persuade myself, at least, they will listen with candor to a very obscure brother, in suggesting the inconsistency of the principles I have been considering with this willingness, and the simplicity of faith in Him. The instances of remonstrance in Scripture are where one commissioned with the civil sword has exceeded his power by injustice against an innocent person, who bore the spiritual commission of the same master- a marked confirmation of, and not an exception to, the principles I have suggested.
Let me be permitted to recur to the general grounds on which I have gone-that the Papacy is the organized system of Satan for keeping men's souls, where the light of Christianity had entered, as far as he possibly can, under the same bondage in which he held them under heathenism. I shall not enlarge upon this view, though full of interest, as I feel at liberty to use it as true-that it is a part of this scheme to hold nations in subjection to it. There may be therefore a twofold opposition to it; one, of the civil Sovereigns to the claim of supremacy in any shape; the other, the ministration of the word, which is God's instrument in pulling down the strongholds of Satan; but it is impossible for the minister of the latter to claim the protection of the former, on the ground of his interest in supporting him, and remain the unshackled servant of Jesus Christ.
I respectfully suggest, therefore, the double ground of the present wisdom of faith, and the consideration of the principles on which these things rest, as both leading to the conclusion, that those who have the cause of God at heart should, while they fulfill the duty in which God has cast them, unless called specially to any peculiar work, keep themselves unequivocally free to minister His grace, according as God shall give them opportunity and strength. Surely God calls them to it, calls them by the work that He has wrought, to be exceedingly wise, lest they should in any way put a hindrance to themselves. They may be sure that Satan will try every method to divert the matter from the application of that word, which goes forth with power to the very foundation and heart of his kingdom. I do earnestly and affectionately call upon the servants of God, trusting they will not count me presumptuous, that whenever they are not simply ministering the word, under the guidance of the Spirit of wisdom, they should, as specially bound by His peculiar grace to us at present, weigh the bearings of every act with patience and wisdom. That they have done so in many instances, I doubt not. It becomes members of the Establishment, to whom Christ and the interests of His people are the center and rule of affection and judgment, to exercise discerning wisdom on this side as well as others; because on this side, however advantageous to the Church as against evil, under divine Providence, they are in connection with, or at least brought where there may a claim on them be made by, what has no common principle of action. And especially now that so many who so long sat in darkness are coming forward to see what these new doctrines are, is it incumbent on them to present themselves as ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God. I have stated the principles on which my views of the whole case are founded, to which, though I believe them just, I attach no great importance; and I have ventured-what is much nearer to my heart-to urge the present work of faith, not as though I were an adviser (for I know how many are every way before me in the Lord), but as one, however unworthy, who has obtained like precious faith with them, and therefore enters into all the interests which they are desirous of promoting. If I have erred in any matter of judgment, I am willing to be corrected; and I can only trust, that as I have undertaken it with the single desire of ministering to the strength of those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, if it conduce to this end, I shall feel deeply the gainer: to their love I beg to commend myself, perfectly, as I trust, united with them, striving together for the faith of that blessed Gospel which has been committed to us.
After all, what am I contending for? That those who love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity, the desire of whose heart is to fulfill the ministry which they have received, to testify the Gospel of the grace of God, and who will feel that conformity to their Master will be the order in which this testimony will be effectual, should not be precluded from such little share of the fellowship of His sufferings as may reach them in their present circumstances, and may stamp them with the Christian character. To my mind, and I suppose to theirs on consideration, the judgment of faith is clear on the subject; and I would solemnly and anxiously urge upon them, that the adoption of the principles contained in the Charge and Petition (for they will be found one thing on consideration of them together) will preclude them from coming forward on Christian ground, and having their proper share in using this blessed opportunity for the delivering souls-I might justly say the world-from the power of darkness, and setting up the kingdom of the Son of God, as far as it is permitted to us to do it before His appearing, on its own stable and sure foundation of faith in the Lord of glory.
I will conclude with one remark. I think it will be found that practically a right faith mainly consists in seeing the glory of Christ in His humiliation-I mean, that by which a redeemed soul lives in the flesh. The Church has its being and character in this faith-" Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." he formed it that He might present it to Himself a glorious Church without spot or wrinkle, or any such thing-not to the world. Glory in the world is essentially contrary to faith. This latter character of glory in the world is the character stamped on the Papacy: they even avow and affirm it: their glorying is in their shame, minding earthly things: they evidence themselves in consequence to be Satan's church, whose theater is the world. The very essence of the grounds they take is setting aside faith. They make the Church, make faith, unnecessary. They will have the inheritance, like their elder brethren, the Jews, after the flesh, which is not God's way-now more deeply culpable in it, for that the nature of the inheritance is declared. But with what comfort or consistency can we, in the sight of God, when we have been delivered from this terrible delusion, oppose its progress, or pretend to deliver others from it, while we in another shape are seeking, in the least degree, the objects which are not of faith, which give the character we reprobate in them, or seek refuge from the accompaniments of faith? Our reliance, then, brethren, must be on the promises; and the consistent exhortation from God to us is, " Thou standest by faith: be not highminded, but fear." There is a constant tendency to depart from this principle: it is not a principle of ease till the time of our rest comes, when the hope of faith shall appear. If the kings of the earth shall take us up, we may thank God for the goodness of His providence; but let us not attach ourselves to them, or fall into their principles, but let us be peculiarly watchful that it leave us what it found us- an humble, holy, self-denying people, trusting in the name of the Lord; still (while we own and accept the present blessing, as honoring our Master's name as well as comforting us) living on what is our sole strength, the faith of the Son of God.
Affectionate confidence, mixed with fear, has made me bold to offer these thoughts to my brethren. I remain their affectionate brother and servant in the Lord.
POSTSCRIPT.-The following circumstances seem to me connected with the above considerations, and will assist in conveying my views.
The oath of supremacy is proposed by the Archbishop to the converts, which, instead of opening the door of Christ to the soul in bondage, makes the admission into the Establishment a necessary condition: and I would suggest, that such a measure is exceedingly analogous to the conduct which created such difficulty at Antioch, on the admission of the Gentiles, and puts a stumblingblock in the way of a weak believer. I own myself unable to understand the fitness and still less the necessity of such a step. It is a closing of the door of Christ against weak souls; and is, on the principles of the Charge, a pledge on the part of the convert to the religion which the civil Sovereign may choose for his people. While it is on the part of the Clergy a natural consequence of the Charge and Petition; for if they propose themselves as candidates for the favor of the civil government, in order to obtain its protection, and then seek for its aid in the character in which they have proposed themselves, it is at once their interest, and I must add, their obligation to support its interests in their ministry, and bind others to the same system: but how will this consist with their duty to Christ, and the souls which He has purchased with His own blood, and gathering them for Him? Further, the admission is " into the true Catholic Church, established in these realms." This ends in the same thing; for, instead of bringing them to graft them into the vine, the liberty and security of Christ, to pledge their souls to that which (if the civil Sovereign should choose wrong) would be Popery, and is in fact a denial of union with Christ being the vital principle and bond of the true Church, that general assembly and Church of the firstborn whose names are written in heaven, which is the true Church, the fullness of Him, that filleth all in all. Here is true catholicity, and to affirm it of anything else is Popery, however modified: and Protestantism is the manifestation of faith in the word, when Satan has hidden the true Church, the assembly of believers, in a system of this world; and such a system, in a modified shape, is that maintained in the Charge.
The sermon of the Archbishop, as reported, speaks of " the scriptures as rightly interpreted ": this, I conceive, is an unperceived acquiescence in Popery; for if there be an interpreter, he must, if anything, be an authorized one; which is Popery. The assertion of an interpreter is exactly contrary to the testimony of the Spirit, manifested in scripture and asserted by Protestantism, that the Scriptures are able to make wise unto salvation through faith; and to give light and understanding to the simple; so that men thereby become wiser than their teachers. But it will be said, You discard a ministry. God forbid. I look upon it as so much as is committed by the Holy Ghost of the offices of the Redeemer to men; but the system against which I remonstrate puts them in the wrong place. That of which they have a portion is all revealed to faith by the same Spirit in the Scriptures. Their order is, therefore, whether in their evangelical or episcopal characters, the representatives of the Apostle of our profession and Bishop of our souls, to preach the truth of Christ, according to their proportion of faith; and then those who have the Scriptures, and receive the word, will search whether these things are so, and become wise unto salvation. In their episcopal character they will guide the conduct of believers, who will again find their assurance and security in the Scriptures, which make the man of God perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Referee Bennett Salvatore admits he blew call against Bulls
By Kurt HelinMay 9, 2011, 8:12 AM EDT
It was one of the key moments at the end of game, another nail in the Bulls coffin in Game 4.
The Bulls were down 6 and there was 2:30 left when Derrick Rose was behind the three-point line, got defender Jamal Crawford up in the air then leapt into him as he shot to get the three point play. It looked like a foul. The whistle blew.
Then referee Bennett Salvatore walked over to the scorer's table and said it was an inadvertent whistle. Jump ball. The Hawks got the ball off the tip, and that was the play where Josh Smith made the quick pass from the top of the key to Al Horford open underneath for the slam. That made it an eight-point lead and the Bulls never caught up.
After the game, Salvatore admitted he blew it, as reported by Steve Ascheburner at NBA.com.
"I blew my whistle. I was positive it was not a foul," the veteran ref told a pool reporter. "I blew my whistle by accident, which is an inadvertent whistle. That's why I disallowed it.
"Having watched the replay, it was a foul. I made a mistake. I was wrong."
Credit to Salvatore for admitting the error.
And if you're a Bulls fan that thinks that call was what cost you the game, I would like to point you to the night of below average defense and Derrick Rose's tough night shooting. The Bulls lost because the Hawks outplayed them, not the refs.

Amar'e Stoudemire's technical rescinded, no suspension. Yet.
By Kurt HelinMar 11, 2011, 2:24 PM EST
I'm not sure we should look at this as Amar'e Stoudemire getting out of jail, just that his sentence was suspended. For now.
But it was the right call.
The league has rescinded the technical given to Amar'e Stoudemire (and the matching one to Brendan Haywood) during Thursday night's Mavericks blowout of the Knicks.
That would have been Stoudemire's 16th technical, triggering an automatic one-game suspension. Dwight Howard has already served his.
Eventually Stoudemire is going to get his 16th and sit out a game. But the NBA made the right move, it shouldn't have been for this.
This was a Bennett Salvatore special. The referee was near midcourt with 9:37 left in the second quarter when Stoudemire and Haywood had some run-of-the-mill pushing and shoving to get a rebound. Salvatore rushed in to make the call in the lane and hit both guys with a T. Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni got so worked up he picked up a technical not long after.
D'Antoni isn't getting his rescinded.

Amar'e Stoudemire picks up 16th technical, suspension pending
By Kurt HelinMar 10, 2011, 10:54 PM EST
Amar'e Stoudemire's status for Sunday's Knicks game against the Pacers is now in doubt as he picked up his 16th technical Thursday night, the number that triggers an automatic one-game suspension.
Although, don't be shocked if the league rescinds this one.
Everyone's favorite referee (*cough, cough*) Bennett Salvatore rushed in with 9:37 left in the second quarter after Stoudemire and Dallas' Brendan Haywood had some run-of-the-mill pushing and shoving to get a rebound. It was nothing that doesn't happen a dozen times a game, but Salvatore raced in from half court to make the call in the lane.
Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni was so heated up on this one he picked up a technical not long after.
If it stands, Stoudemire would join Dwight Howard as the only NBA players to get to 16 technicals and the automatic suspension Stephen Jackson of the Bobcats has 14.
But this one should not stand. There was nothing close to deserving a technical there.

NBA finals, Lakers Celtics Game 3: Officiating is already the story, and tip off is eight hours away
By Kurt HelinJun 8, 2010, 12:45 PM EDT
My plea has fallen on deaf ears.
After seeing 134 free throws through the first two games, after seeing the officiating and fouls called play a key role in both games, the announcement of the referees for Game 3 has led basketball fans everywhere to say, "Are you kidding me?" In Boston and Los Angeles, you can insert a few expletives into that sentence.
Your officials for Game 3: Bill Kennedy, Bennett Savatore and Danny Crawford.
Celtics fans are convinced Bill Kennedy has it in for them. The most public and recent incident is when Kennedy tossed Rasheed Wallace from a game against the Sixers in December (a game the Celtics lost). Last year he tossed Doc Rivers from a game then got in a staring match with him.
Bennett Salvatore? Phil Jackson got fined back in April when after a game he said you never know what you are going to get with Salvatore. Lakers fans are convinced that Salvatore has it in for their team — but that is a huge bandwagon. Everybody thinks Salvatore has it in for their team. Boston fans included.
So after two games of calling the game tight and not letting it look like an NBA finals, the NBA is sending out two of the most controversial referees in the league? Things will get interesting.
This is all a bit like the Tim Donaghy situation. Actually look at the data and it's clear Donaghy is full of crap. He doesn't stand up to any test. But it's about perception. People have long been suspect of NBA referees, and now a former NBA referee is saying they were right so they believe him. It's that simple.
When you break down the numbers, Kennedy doesn't call any more technicals against the Celtics than other officials do. But that doesn't matter, it's about perception. Celtics fans are convinced he does and will react that way.
After two tightly called games, two controversial officials are going to be watched like hawks and blamed for things beyond their control. But they also could well influence the game, as their peers did in the first two games. The good news, Crawford is one of the best out there. So it will not be three blind mice tonight

U.S. senators to meet with Egypt over accused NGO workers
A delegation of three U.S. senators, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, will be in Egypt on Monday to meet with the country's military leaders to discuss the case of 19 American workers who face charges as part of an Egyptian crackdown on nongovernmental organizations.
"I think this is a very difficult situation," McCain told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "I am not a negotiator, but I think it's important that I and the other senators in the delegation explain to the Egyptian leadership ... that this is a serious situation, has serious implications for our relationship,"
The delegation also includes Sens. Lindsey Graham and Joe Lieberman. The visit is part of a pre-planned trip.
McCain said that while he will address the situation of the detained Americans, he will not attempt to negotiate their release.

Well, what the heck?! We have a Target distribution center in town, but they don't carry them at our local Target store? S'okay, I'm visiting a town nearby that's on the list. Hopefully their Target still has some in stock.
That is beyond awesome. And hey, one of the Targets is right near my parent's house! I think a little two-birds-one-stone trip is in order.
Robyn, we have a Target distribution center really close to our Target too, and they are not on the list. Apparently these are target "test stores" which I am not sure how they determine that…but I am hoping the do well so they can expand to all the stores eventually!
Wow–that IS exciting! Congrats, lady!
Yay! I'm so very excited for you and for Target for recognizing and embracing an indie plush designer extraordinaire!
aw man! the closest to me is almost four hours away! i need a pizza plush!
Yes! There's a store close to me!
Also: My Paper Crane digital washi tape? Sweet!
Wow, four Targets in Oklahoma but not a single on in Washington or Oregon? Bummer for us west coasters. I question their marketing analysis!
Oh, and I found your cute keychains at Five Below. Of course, I splurged and bought three (to go with the one I already have).
No test-Targets in the Seattle area I guess. I hope they do really well so I can buy one soon!
that's SO EXCITING, Heidi! Pretty much every one of my business-planning discussions with my husband starts with, "When Target picks up my line…." so I would just DIE! congrats!
Our Target (Rockaway, NJ) is on the list!! I'll keep an eye out for them!
JLVerder, aw :) I hope you got some that you love!
Lauren and I looked Sat. at one of the stores on the list near us – no luck :) but maybe they're just not out yet. We had the manager all concerned hahaha not on purpose – he just was! I think this is super awesome!
Greetings from the McKnight Road Target (Pittsburgh PA).
I only wish they were at the Target in East Liberty (in the city proper) which is within walking distance of my house.
I checked out 3 stores in the Michigan area and I had no luck, is there a release date?


Blair and Chelsea Green are big fans of Flipping Out, Bravo's reality remodeling series. This gorgeous Preston Hollow contemporary at 7141 Grand Oaks Road is their latest flip, although they don't really ever intend to flip — it's just worked out that way.
The couple already have very full plates. Blair is a commercial real estate attorney and Chelsea is the chief operating officer of a law firm.

← THE MOVEMENT: A CHILDREN'S STORY FOR GROWN-UPS Free This Week on Kindle Download!
A local author's expertise with the written word has expanded into a foray with campfire-style oral storytelling.
The new incarnation of "The Movement" takes readers on a journey, narrated in campfire style, to meet creatures, who readers find out might not be what they initially appear, Burns said.
Burns posted a trial manuscript on the Amazon subsidiary company's website. Within 24 hours, he received two sample auditions. The second individual, Caudle, posted his sample within 15 minutes of the original post.
Caudle has a colorful background in vocal work, Burns said. He has done TV commercials, radio spots, audiobooks, and voiceovers, he said. According to Caudle's website, alancaudle.biz, he also uses his voice talents for audio guides, documentaries and tutorials among many others. Caudle's voice is described as "like a friend telling you a story … " and " … warm, friendly and conversational," according to his website.
Burns began working with Caudle in August 2013 and took about a month to complete the audiobook.
Despite the miles, the two worked together via email to complete the audio book. Caudle sent 15-minute samples and Burns was able to leave notes and guides about specific parts and voices of characters, he said. Burns did not leave more than two suggestions per sample. The two worked very well together, Burns said.
Caudle and Burns now are in the process of translating Burns' sequel to "The Movement" to audiobook form. Caudle is expected to narrate the third book in the series, as well as Burns' other works.
Burns' other stories include sequels to "The Movement" called "The Movement: Revisited" and "Edem's Flight," both released in January; as well as "A Million Little Gods: The Clearwater Chronicles" from 2013; "Pieces of Me", a look into the author's mind released in 2012; and "UnApologetic," released in 2013.
Before Burns became an author, he completed a religion and philosophy degree from Ottawa University in 2006. Burns also was a pastor at churches in Ottawa and Paola, according to Herald archives. He now works a couple of days a week at the Pomona Community Library, 115 E. Franklin St., Pomona, as an assistant librarian.
Burns also established the Ottawa Writer's Guild in 2012. The group, a collection of local authors and artists, meets 9 a.m. on the first and third Saturdays each month at the Ottawa Library, 105 S. Hickory St., Ottawa. The group produces a twice-yearly publication, "Uncarved: The Literature and Arts Magazine," a collection of work from authors and artists from the Franklin County area. The group has published three volumes, according to Burns' website.
Burns' audiobook is available through Amazon, iTunes and audible.com. The author received 25 free promo codes from Audible to download the book directly and to give away to readers. For a promo code, email Burns at dave@uncarvedbooks.com. Codes will be given out on a first come, first serve basis, Burns said.

Cost Basis Reporting: Additional Revenue for Tax Professionals?
Challenges related to disparate cost basis reporting procedures between retail investors and brokers provide opportunities for tax professionals to extend their services and aid retail investors. New services may generate close to $450 million in additional revenue for tax professionals by 2015.
In a new report, Cost Basis Reporting: Additional Revenue for Tax Professionals? Celent explores how disparate cost basis reporting procedures between retail investors and brokers have created significant challenges for retail investors reporting their tax returns to the IRS. These challenges will provide tax professionals with an opportunity to step in and provide valuable tax preparation and consultation services for investors.
While much of the industry analysis has focused on challenges for brokers, there has been little focus on the challenges retail investors will now face with respect to reporting cost basis to the IRS. While filing new forms, such as the updated Schedule D and Form 8949, is a challenge in itself, retail investors are finding that their reporting data does not match their broker's 1099-B data.
This lack of harmonization is the result of having a gap between what is required of the broker and what is required of the investor, and this has created an opportunity for tax professionals to help investors by researching and reconciling differences between 1099-Bs and Form 8949 calculations.
This report begins with a discussion on what the new cost basis requirements mean for the retail investors and explores the challenges that they may face. Celent then examines the types of services currently offered by tax professionals and defines the market opportunity for tax professionals, providing high and low estimates related to potential revenue for services. Finally, Celent discusses how technology can help brokers, investors, and tax professionals address many of the challenges posed by cost basis reporting.

Home Lindemann Limetree BRIDGE II Music Streamer
Lindemann Limetree BRIDGE II Music Streamer
by Lindemann
The Lindemann Limetree BRIDGE II is a high-class network adapter or audio renderer which can transfer music digitally in studio master quality from streaming providers and local storage media to existing D/A converters or other devices with digital inputs. This makes it possible to upgrade an existing hi-fi system with streaming for little money.
Here we would like to address owners of older LINDEMANN devices such as the 820S or the 825, but of course all other customers with a converter or a CD player with a digital input as well.
For this purpose the Limetree BRIDGE II is simply connected with the network by means of a LAN cable or via WLAN. It has also a USB port for connecting harddisks or USB storage media. There is an optical and a coaxial digital output. A professional studio engineering sample rate converter makes sure that all streamed formats can be played back on an existing converter without major losses in sound quality.
The LINDEMANN streaming platform offers a studio master grade reproduction. Either through a LAN connection or wireless via WLAN. Due to WPS, integrating the device into your existing system is just a breeze. Moreover, the ARM core high-performance processor and the web update feature make the platform absolutely future-proof.
The Limetree BRIDGE II offers a Bluetooth function which enables a wireless music playback e.g. from smartphones or tablets. At the same time the A2DP Bluetooth audio transmission protocol ensures the very best sound quality.
Via USB the Limetree BRIDGE II supports the docking of external CD-ROM drives (e.g. Apple USB SuperDrive) and turns into a high-end CD player without much effort or cost! The drive is automatically recognized and the CD playback can be controlled by the LINDEMANN app or the IR remote. Thereby the CD data are cached in a memory and then streamed.
The digital outputs of the Limetree BRIDGE II can be perfectly adapted to the input of the employed D/A converter. First the maximum permissible sample rate of the connected D/A converter is set. In a second step the audio data from the streaming platform are adjusted by a high-quality sample rate converter from the studio technology to enable a reproduction of all resolutions without any loss of sound quality. For the up- and down-sampling process we use only binary multiples: x1, x2, x4, x8. 192 kHz will thus be converted to 96 kHz or 48 kHz and vice versa, 44.1 kHz will become 88.2 kHz or 176.4 kHz. Two different operating modes (strategies) are up for choice: up-sampling to the highest possible value in each case, or bit-perfect reproduction without up-sampling.
The LINDEMANN app is available for Android and iOS, both for smartphones and tablets. It enables to play back content from all major streaming providers, music servers and USB storage media. The album-oriented programming excels by smooth browsing and an easy, intuitive operation.
A special highlight is our multi-room function which allows to run several streamers in different rooms separately or coupled. These are conveniently controlled via the LINDEMANN app.
The Limetree BRIDGE II can play back music from USB storage media such as USB sticks or harddisks. For this purpose the device is equipped with a USB host port on the back.
The Lindemann App
The Limetree BRIDGE II is controlled almost exclusively via the newly designed LINDEMANN app which is available both for Android and iOS. Apart from the smartphone version, there is also a proprietary tablet version in the landscape mode. The app allows a fluent, intuitive browsing and searching. A new feature is the simultaneous display of browse view and play view. In addition you can also call up your current play queue. The album-oriented programming allows the playback of a complete album with just one push of a button!
In addition, the specially integrated multi-room function also allows to run several streamers in different rooms separately or coupled. The supply of streaming services is very diverse, with a clear focus on studio master quality and hi-fi subscriptions. Users can choose between TIDAL Connect, Qobuz, Deezer, HighResAudio, and Spotify Connect. In addition, thousands of podcasts and radio stations from all over the world are available.
Centered around the powerful streaming platform, the circuit of the Limetree BRIDGE II has been fine-tuned for optimum signal quality. All music files are re-synchronized by an ultra precise femto clock and a sample rate converter from the studio technology. The thus processed data are free from "jitter" which is the most frequent cause of bad digital sound. With many older D/A converters, the particularly stable digital signal of the Limetree BRIDGE II produces an audible increase in sound quality.
For the power supply we use a high-quality "medical grade" wall plug transformer which ensures a particularly good isolation from line disturbances. Owing to the elaborated onboard filtering and special voltage regulators, we were able to realize an exceptionally low-noise power supply with a ripple voltage below 10 µV.
Power consumption: 0.1 W standby, 3.5 W operation, 11 W max.

Excellent little streamer, this replaced my trusty Linn Sneaky DS. A definite improvement over the Sneaky DS. DSD upsampling also adds to the sound significantly Superb sound stage and separation. Roon Integration and the combination of Roon DSP processing helps set the system to any room Finally the ability to add a CD drive that doubles up as a CD player means i have an excellent CD player driven by the DSPs of the Lindemann Network at a tiny fraction of the cost that id spend on an Audiophile CD player (I had a Linn Ikemi earlier) Rajesh
