ME may soon be diagnosed by blood test

wessely — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 18:35:45 +0000

The promising ME research, about which you report (Latest research shows ME may be in the genes, The Herald, May 6) will be aired at a conference this week. Its focus is on the physical cause of this neurological illness (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis), for which there is already an abundance of evidence.

Dr Jonathan Kerr has good reason to believe that a diagnostic test - perhaps a simple blood test - which may suggest appropriate treatment, is only a matter of time.

Last week, a Royal Society of Medicine conference, to which only a selected audience of doctors were invited, focused on fatigue and the psychiatric origins of ME for which there is none.

There is no diagnostic test in sight and the only recommendations are two coping, or management, strategies, one of which, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has no lasting benefit, without relapse, for people with ME and the other, Graded Exercise Treatment (GET), which makes some patients irrecoverably worse.

ME sufferers are appalled and frustrated, that the psychiatric approach has had £8.5m to establish a network of clinics, which requires millions more each year to maintain, while not a penny piece of public money has been spent on biomedical research and work like Dr Kerr's has to rely on charity.

Who Are You?

I've never done this before, but got the idea from a blogger-friend today. I'd love it if you'd take a second to post your name and where you're from in the comments section of this post. It'd be fun for me to see who's hanging out in this online community.

What's in a Name?

Neil — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 09:46:48 +0000

May God, who has caused his Name to dwell there, overthrow any king or people who lifts a hand to change this decree or to destroy this temple in Jerusalem. I Darius have decreed it. Let it be carried out with diligence. Ezra 6.12.

It is 520 BC. The exile in Babylon is at an end and work has begun on the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. But the work is under threat because the Persian governor of Judea thinks it is unauthorised, so he writes to Darius in Persia seeking instruction. Darius replies by making a decree that the work is to go ahead, and this morning's reading consists of just one verse from that descree; and it is a verse I was drawn to because of the way Darius refers to God's "Name".

In our twenty-first century world, a name is just a sign of identification and a means of distinguishing one person from another; but in the ancient world it was so much more than that. It had substance and power and, in the case of God, was part of his very being. Thus, when God is giving the law to Moses on Mount Sinai, he tells him: "See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. Pay attention to him and listen to what he says. Do not rebel against him; he will not forgive your rebellion, since my Name is in him" (Exodus 23.20).

The "Name" there is clearly nothing less than the presence of God himself. And Moses understood that. Forty years later, when the Israelites are about to enter the promised land, he tells them: "Then to the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for his Name — there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice possessions you have vowed to the LORD. And there rejoice before the LORD your God" (Deuteronomy 12.11-12). Once the Name dwells somewhere, it is the God who bears the name that dwells there in some substantial, powerful, real way. God's Name is almost God's alter ego.

And the Name can be on individuals as well as in a place. God says: "Tell Aaron and his sons, 'This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: 'The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.' So they will put my Name on the Israelites, and I will bless them" Numbers 6.23-27. Through the blessing, the Israelites were to enjoy the presence and peace of God resting upon them and surrounding them.

Clearly, the Persian king, Darius, understood this concept too, for he believed that God had "caused his Name to dwell" in the temple that was being rebuilt in Jerusalem and, that being so, he was not going to hinder the work.

Something of this surely lies behind Jesus' promise that "where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them" (Matthew 18.20). It is when Christians consciously and deliberately step together into "the Name" — make Jesus their focus and the ground of their meeting — that they enjoy his real presence in some substantial, powerful way.

And something of all this lies too behind the necessity for Christians to offer prayer "in the name of Jesus". It is not a formula, not an incantation that somehow makes a prayer "work". It is rather that my prayers must be from within the presence and power of Jesus ... must be in accordance with his character, full of his spirit, flowing out of his grace and compassion. If they are, they will be answered. "I will do whatever you ask in my name," says Jesus. "You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it" (John 4.13-14). Because to truly "ask in his Name" is to ask from within the godhead — it is to ask as the Son to the Father, and we know that the Father always hears the Son.

Name of all majesty,
fathomless mystery,
King of the ages
by angels adored;
power and authority,
splendour and dignity,
bow to His mastery —
Jesus is Lord!

Yamaha "Vino" ... WTF?

Earthman Xosha Rosp — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 04:30:18 +0000

So, uh, anyone seen one of these?

...The Yamaha "Vino" always puzzles me as a name choice for any vehicle.

Vino, of course, being the Italian word for "wine" ... does naming a scooter after alcohol strike anyone as a good idea? Sure, it's not going to immediately inspire riders to start swilling down hooch while driving, but there are still things that should not necessarily have name association, and I'm pretty certain that drinking & driving are exactly such things.

The thing starts!!!

Readme for hack

Features :

VAC2 Proof (Mainly what was changed, as I used the leaked P7 public source code)

Hack features :

Bone aimbot : chose this so there is less calculations then hitbox aiming, so people with bad computers can use it with full optimization, for raging not legit

Bone adjustments : adjustments for height, side, and forward, which is useful depending on your ping, and fps.

Aim when close : this is a feature that not many hacks may re-produce. when aiming with bone or hitbox the hitbox is behind the flesh so you need the penetration values to correctly aim when close.

Remove recoil : removes visual recoil from your screen, can be seen by spectators

Remove spread : removes bullets spread so bullets go in one spot, use in conjunction with norecoil

Asus wallhack : Sets transparancy to the walls and objects around you

No flash/smoke : removes smoke and flash effects

Bunny hop : jump in succession perfectly

Autopistol : shoot really fast with pistol(s)

Spin bot : Spin REALLY fast to make spectators sick

sv_cheats bypass : use some cheat cvars

Lots more, mainly what's in the p7 public.

INSTRUCTIONS : Run Unify.exe before game, then start the game, once in game hit INSERT for the menu!
