The best surgeon I've ever come across.
Simply the best.
Never could I ever find words to thank you for what you did for me. I feel like I've been given a new start in life. Forever in your debt.
I just wanted to send you a thank you letter to express how pleased I am with the excellent results from the surgical procedure you performed on me in April. Your guidance and advice prior to the procedure was extremely helpful in enabling me to make an informed choice and I have been extremely pleased with the outcome of the operation which gave me the results I had hoped for and without any procedural complications.
A.M.'s Mother
She wants to shout and let the world know how your care has helped ease what has been a sometimes painful life of curiosity and often ridicule in her past...we would surely wish to acknowledge the considerable impact your involvement in our lives has made and is continuing to make.
I am thrilled at the difference in my appearance and everyone has commented on how "normal " I look, which only goes to show how much skill and dexterity was behind my operation! I am continually grateful to have enjoyed the medical attention of such a competent surgeon and his team - so Thank You.
My experience and surgical results far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Kirkpatrick, with your superb surgical skills I feel transformed. At all times, everybody was supportive, friendly and kind. I felt confident, in good hands with everyone involved in this process and will share my high recommendations to family, friends and colleagues. This was a very good (and painless!) experience.
A is overjoyed with the improvements you have achieved not only in the outwardly visible changes in her appearance but in the remarkable change brought about by a raising of her self-confidence. A wants to shout and let the world know how your care has helped ease what has been a sometimes painful life of curiosity and often ridicule in her past.
T.R.'s Parents
Thank you so much for looking after T so well in theatre. You made us all feel at ease under your care. Thank you again for all your kindness. We have never met such a kind doctor.
Thank you very much for so carefully planning and undertaking my rhinoplasty. Even though it is early days, I am delighted with the results of your surgery and would like to thank you and all your team for your wonderful care, kindness and expertise. I feel that my "new nose" has given me greater harmony and balance in my features."
I am in awe of your skills as a surgeon and always look forward to seeing you because then I feel reassured that things are ok at the moment. Thank you for your skills, support and reassurance.
I am overjoyed. Now my smiles are back on the face that has been lined with sadness and endurance for many years. I would like to pay my deepest respect to you and your family for granting us a marvellous miracle.
Thank you for being so supportive, thoughtful and kind to us. We trust you implicitly and know that C. couldn't be in better hands.
It is difficult to express how much we appreciate the care and concern you have shown him, and us, during his treatment. I am sure his path would have been considerably less smooth had you not kept such a close eye on him. He seems to be his old self and nearly his old shape already.
This is to express my profound thanks and gratitude for the surgery you kindly performed on my face last Wednesday, with excellent results.
I was very grateful to be encouraged to go ahead, confident in your expertise. The whole process was remarkably straight forward from the beginning to end and all my previous fears proved totally unnecessary. This was entirely due to your care and patience and I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone in need of the same services!
I don't know how you guys do it, but you do! I feel good after my ops and just want to thank you on a personal level for the huge amount you have done for me and my recovery, I can only imagine what dark place I would be in without your invaluable help. I want you to know that from my point of view you guys rule the school, your actions in this world help people beyond anybody's ability to comprehend them, except of course your patients, people like me, so I wanted to say, Thank you so much!!
O.R.'s Parents
We will never forget your involvement in caring for O. We could not have wished him to be in safer hands.
I just wanted to profusely thank you for one of the clearest, most fascinating and well-presented talks we have had at MEDsoc for a long time. Everyone throughly enjoyed the talk and it gave us an insight into a whole field of surgery we all knew very little about.
My brother and I are very grateful to you for the care and kindness you have shown my mother during all her visits to you. You have been wonderfully patient and understanding, and helped her through a very trying time with your tremendous "bedside manner". Mum is so relieved that it is all over, of course, and very pleased with the remarkable job you have done on her nose. I wear glasses and frankly can hardly tell her old nose from her new nose!
A.W.'s Parents
Thank you so much for caring for our daughter, and also for the great kindness and understanding you've shown to an over-anxious mother!
Dear Professor P. Thank you so much for recommending me to Mr Kirkpatrick the plastic surgeon dealing with PXE patients. Having had my operation I must tell you that Mr Kirkpatrick has used his skills to a first class degree, in fact, he has performed a miracle…..I am so pleased with the results.
You have no idea how impressed I have been by the way you treated me. If everybody in this world was like you there would be peace on this earth."
I just wanted to let you know that my nose has settled down nicely (beautifully actually). I can't tell you what a difference your brilliant ops have made to the way I feel about myself.
S.'s Mother
Thank you so much for looking after S. You have been so kind and caring and always made us feel calm and relaxed. Every time you came to see us, we forgot how worried we were for S. You took away her pain and worry.
I just want to say a huge thank you for everything you have done for me. I have been waiting a long time to get my face corrected due to previous surgeries since the age of 13.
I would like to say how much I appreciate the expert surgery and 'Repairs' carried out so quickly, painlessly and with excellent results – it has made a tremendous difference. Thank you.
Don't ever change Niall, we need people like you in the Health Service you are simply 'The Best'.
C.'s Parents
Thank you for the support you have given all three of us during 2004. As you can see from the enclosed photos, C's eyelid looks so much better this Christmas compared with last.
I am very happy with the result of my surgery and I am grateful for the effort you've made to look after me throughout the whole process.
Thank you for the great care you offered to C, she has become a happier person!!
The whole experience of the operation to my lower eyelid from my point of view went really well medically, and aesthetically friends and family are amazed at the result. This I feel was down to your expertise and skill. I was quite apprehensive about the procedure but the way you explained everything to me made me feel confident that all would be well as indeed it has turned out to be.
G.S.'s Parents
We wanted to express our enormous gratitude for the amazing surgery that you performed on G last week. The result is quite beyond our expectations.
My contact with you has improved my clinical skills! You have demonstrated to me the difference between very good and excellent – and there is a very significant difference between the two, possibly a life changing difference. Thank you for your excellence in managing the reconstruction of my cheek/eye. You are an excellent and outstanding Consultant in every way. I definitely think that every hospital should have at least one of you in it!
My eyes are getting better by the days and each morning when I see myself in the mirror I cannot help thinking how good they look and they give me a tremendous lift to my mood and any hint of "Morning Blues!
A big Thank You for the work you performed on my ears. It has made a huge difference and has effected my confidence greatly.
A year on…. THANKYOU! I will forever be grateful for how well you put me back together.
Just wanted to say thank you for everything so far. Before I first met you I was deeply unhappy about my syndrome and was worried about any potential operations but when I met you, you immediately put my mind at ease and made me optimistic for the future. The first operation was the best thing that has ever happened to me and all the others have been amazing. I now feel a million times better internally/externally thanks to you and I know that any future 'minor' surgery will be done by a brilliant person and surgeon.
I can't even begin to thank you enough for everything you've done to help me. It really isn't an exaggeration to say that you've given me back my life. I feel like me again, and as good as I've heard you to be (The Best!). I honestly didn't believe it was possible. I really thought I was unfixable. I'll always be so grateful to you.
Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to see the amazing work you do. I have never felt more inspired and cannot wait to start medical school! I am immensely grateful and intend to continue fundraising for Facing the World.
I think you did a marvelous job on my eye, absolutely perfect! I thank you so much again.
I don't have words that I could use to express my gratitude for you. You have simply given me back to me. You are no doubt one of the kindest most caring person I have met in my life. I am glad I found my way to you, and am forever grateful for the help you have given me.
I just wanted to write to say how pleased I am with my new scar, and to thank you and your team for all that you have done for me. I am amazed at how much better it looks! Thank you so much.
L.'s Father
Thank you so much for your kind help in looking after L. We were all in a state of shock on hearing the news of her accident and it was such a relief to learn that you had kindly made all those arrangements to look after her upon her arrival from France.
Thank you so much for the great repair job on my nose - my brutally honest family have given it the thumbs up! But most of all thank you for your time and care as I could not have been better looked after. The whole experience has been a true pleasure for me.
Thank you for excellent and skilled work. It is much appreciated.
Thank you for every thing you all have done for me. This has completely changed my life. I will never forget you.
I think it would be impossible to properly convey my thanks to you for your help and support over the past two months. You have shown your skillset to be second to none in every regard. Without you by my side, and the trust that you inspired, this whole ordeal would have been a lot harder to cope with. From day one you and your team went above and beyond what was ever asked. Thank you so much.
Just wanted to say a very big thank you not only for being extremely talented in your field but for always going the extra mile in all you do for the sake of your patients, and for that I can not thank you enough!
Dear Mr Kirkpatrick. Thank you for giving me my new face.
Thank you very much for the excellent work on my grandson's nose. We the family are all pleased with the outcome. God bless you and your continued success.
This is a huge thank you for being such a genius!. You are truly amazing and you have completely changed my life.
You made me feel like a special person when I first woke up from the surgery. I am very appreciate (sic) you are the best doctor in the world. Thanks for everythink (sic)
Words of gratitude and heartfelt good wishes are being poured onto this page. Thank you so very much for taking such good care of me. I am grateful in a profound way that words cannot express. I was blessed to be sent to you and to receive your good care.
R.M. (Medical Student0
I just wanted to say a quick thank you to all of you for making me feel so welcome over the past 3 weeks - I wish the attachment could have been longer I enjoyed it so much! It has been the best firm that I've had over the past six years, and I looked forward to coming in each day - the best was definitely saved to the end!!!
Thank you so much Dr Niall Kirkpatrick for my transformation! You have made me the happiest woman! Thank you for a wonderful treatment.
You have restored me to myself and my relief is profound....no words will do to describe adequately the gratitude I fee!!!
Thank you for my nose; it has changed my life
J.'s Parents
Thank you for all that you have done to give J the very fine and precise result from surgery that both she and ourselves had hoped for. We are so very grateful to you for all your kindness and care in explaining, planning and undertaking the surgery.
I don't think I can put into words how pleased I am with the results of the surgery. It has made a huge difference to my life and I am much more confident when I am talking to people....I just want to say a massive thanks for the brilliant job you have done. I will always be grateful and remember how well I was treated.
C.M. and J.
Thank you, as always for your kindness, care and fabulous surgical expertise.
I can't thank you enough for what you have done for me. You have given me my life back. I will always be so grateful to you for what you have done. Ill never forget you.
I just wanted to say thank you all so much for being such a great group of medical professionals. You truly put me at ease with your warmth, kindness and fun approach! As this procedure was something I had thought about for some time, I was a bit unsure – needless to say those concerns didn't last for long! I appreciate all your help and good laughs.
Thank you so much for my operation – I love it! I can't believe what an amazing job you and your team did! I'm very lucky to have met you and to be under your care. It has already given me so much more confidence and I know it will make me feel so much more relaxed in any group situations. I can't thank you enough!
I'm writing to thank you so very much for returning my face to me. You've been incredibly sympathetic towards what was essentially self-inflicted damage by having fillers injected. Very patient when, during surgery both times, I tried to talk because I was scared. So clear in explaining what needed to be done. Communication was everything. The result is better than I could ever have imagined. I had come to terms, emotionally, with a worse scar. It is miraculous. I won't pretend to understand what you had to do – I wish I did – you must be extraordinarily gifted to get it so right. I have a quiet idea of the years of work needed to make this possible. I am so very grateful for both operations and the wonderful aftercare.
I'm overwhelmed by your kind help. I can't thank you enough.
I am writing to thank you for the wonderful care you showed me when my nose was disfigured through filler. I am so thrilled with the results from the Rhinoplasty surgery you performed I am smiling again and my confidence has returned. I was hardly bruised which is testimony to your wonderful skill.
I cannot thank you enough for the radical improvement of my under eye area….I could not be happier with the result. I am no longer embarrassed by my 'tired' baggy eyes and have more confidence in public now. Plus I also no longer have the dry eye problem which is a huge plus. I hardly ever look in a mirror now. There is simply no need anymore because I am no longer anxious. And this in turn has made me feel healthier. Brilliant!
I really just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me. Words can not express the gratitude that I feel. You have given me the courage to undergo so much with wonderful results.
I just wanted to say thank you so much, I know this is your everyday job but it has changed my life!
For me, you have been the person who has helped me to recuperate my health with your kindness and sensitivity. I do not have words to thank you for everything you did for me throughout these last years.
Thank you so much for the surgery under my eye. It was something that was depressing me each day. I am extremely pleased with the result. You really are wonderful!
How will I ever be able to thank you for what you have done for me. You have taken me out of a very black hole and given me hope for the future. It is quite remarkable that you were willing to take me on in the first place and then fit me into your very busy diary and do that amazing surgery to my face. I am blown away by your kindness and excellence.
Just wanted to say thank you and let you know how pleased I am with the outcome. I definitely feel more happy and confident with my appearance now.
It is just over one month since you operated on me (SMAS; mid-facelift and anterior platysmaplasty) and I am writing to tell you how delighted I am with the result. The bruising has dissappeared completely; the scars are resolving/subsiding well. I feel that you have gifted me a new, updated version of the old F.E. with the enhanced energy and optimism to match. I shall be forever grateful for your consummate professionalism, care, empathy and aesthetic genius.
I am just sending this email to tell you how pleased I am with my nose. It is literally life changing for me!
Just wanted to say thank you so much for the work you have done on my nose. You have done exactly what I have asked for, and stuck exactly to the photos I gave you! Thanks so much.
I am continually moved by your kindliness, your goodness of heart and your giftedness as a surgeon. You have a warm benevolence and an exceptional talent which you bring to your work - work which has changed patients' lives for the better, not least my own.
Last August you operated on my nose and did the most beautiful job. You really did change my life and transform my confidence and I can not thank you enough for what you have given me.
I can not thank you enough for your kindness, generosity and time you have taken to carry out my rhinoplasty. You are an amazing person and doctor!
Thank you so much for the amazing work you do. You have changed my life literally. My confidence is 100% more than I used to be and most of all I like what I see looking back at me in the mirror. Once again thank you for everything.
Thank you soo much for my new nose. It has massively changed my life and confidence. Also thanks for answering all my questions thoroughly and for listening to the specific requirements I had around the nose shape. The team were all fantastic.
Thank you! I am indebted to you for your good care and treatment. A great result! Many thanks.
I just wanted to say thank you for everything. Not just because you're an incredible surgeon, but because of your kind, sensitive and compassionate nature. I knew of your reputation beforehand but you had exceeded all of my expectations, and I'm so grateful. Thank you for giving me back my self esteem and confidence.
Whenever I look at my neck, I see that you have done artistic genius work. Thank you so much.
So many thank yous in deep appreciation for all your kind reassurance as I recovered from my burn. I knew I was in "expert hands" (no pun intended due to my non-dominant mishap} the moment you spoke with me. Because of your care & attention I healed. That lovely organ we call skin was rejuvenated ...
Many, many thanks for all your kind care, attention, expertise and skills, providing me with reassurance and clarity during my recent treatment. The facial reconstruction surgery of six months ago has given me an outstanding excellent result for which I am truly grateful. A brilliant outcome. I consider myself incredibly fortunate to have had access to such high quality medical care. With grateful thanks.

'There's a Crack in the Spurs Way,' But Can the Team and Kawhi Make Peace?May 10, 2018
These are strange times in San Antonio.
Usually, this is when the rest of the NBA dissects what went wrong, what they can do to change and how they will attack an offseason of coaching shifts, draft picks and free-agent moves. The Spurs, typically, have used this time to prepare for another playoff series.
But after the Warriors cut San Antonio's 21st consecutive postseason appearance short with a first-round knockout, it's the Spurs who are looking at the reset button.
"There's a crack in the 'Spurs Way,'" a Western Conference executive told Bleacher Report. "The bottom line is, every team goes through it. And now they are."
The most prominent fault line is the ongoing rift between the Spurs and their best player, Kawhi Leonard. The two-time All-Star and supposed bridge from the Tim Duncan era to the next phase of Spurs greatness played only nine games this season due to a mysterious right quadriceps injury.
No one has publicly expressed what exactly is going on with Leonard's quad, or why it didn't respond as expected to a rehab protocol that began back in September. What we do know from a number of reports is that there are a lot of hurt feelings on both sides.
"I'm surprised beyond belief that this thing got to the point that it did," said a league source who has had frequent dealing with the Spurs.
With Leonard, 26, eligible for a five-year, $219 million "super-max" extension this summer, the key question circulating through the league is, "Can the relationship be salvaged?"
"I don't think it can," the Western Conference executive said. "At the end of the day, Kawhi wants out."
Leonard, as has always been his practice, has said precious little on the matter. He hasn't spoken at a Spurs game since March 21, when an ESPN reporter interviewed him briefly after a regular-season contest against the Washington Wizards. Those quotes were included in a massive story last week from ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne and Michael C. Wright detailing the rift.
League sources confirmed a key detail in that story: Around the time the Spurs announced Leonard would be out "indefinitely" in January, he had begun consulting with Dr. Jonathan Glashow of Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. Since that time, Leonard has engaged in most of his rehab under the guidance of Glashow, working frequently at the National Basketball Players Association headquarters in midtown Manhattan.
Thus, head coach Gregg Popovich's public comments on Leonard have been tainted with derision.
"You'll have to ask Kawhi and his group that question," Popovich told reporters on April 15 when asked whether Leonard would return at some point in the postseason.
Leonard wasn't with the team or even on the bench during the Spurs' 4-1 first-round loss to the Warriors. A league source told B/R that Leonard had planned to rejoin the team as a spectator, but the death of Popovich's wife, Erin, kept the Spurs coach away from the team and in mourning. The devastating news caused Leonard to re-evaluate his plans.
Still, multiple league sources advised not to underestimate Popovich's ability to repair the team's relationship with Leonard. Last season, a deep rift developed between the team and All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge, to the point where Aldridge called former teammate Damian Lillard and asked him to approach general manager Neil Olshey about bringing Aldridge back to Portland, a person familiar with the conversation told B/R.
"You can never say done because everybody thought that the Aldridge thing was over and that there was no chance to salvage that," one of the people said. "Pop went in and smoothed it over. You can't underestimate the power of the Pop in these situations."
Nonetheless, another Western Conference executive said teams are "lining up to try to do something" in the event the Spurs decide to trade Leonard this summer. Through back channels, those teams have gotten the brush-off from the Spurs.
"The Spurs want to try to make things work right now and aren't interested," the exec said.
But the Spurs also aren't interested in having their franchise player's medical care out of their control.
When Leonard had a wrist injury that wasn't responding to treatment in 2014, his agents, Brian Elfus and Mitch Frankel, pushed for a second opinion. The matter was resolved without any hard feelings going forward, a person familiar with the situation said.
Elfus, now a coaching and management agent, ceased representing Leonard in 2016. The duties shifted to Frankel, a longtime football agent, and Leonard's uncle, Dennis Robertson. On their watch, Leonard's relationship with the organization has caromed off the rails.
Robertson, a former banking executive, has served as a father figure to Leonard after Leonard's father was fatally shot in 2008. But he has no experience navigating complicated NBA politics, especially when a star player and his looming free agency have created a flashpoint that calls for restraint and diplomacy.
Asked for comment via text message, Robertson responded, "Not at this time."
The strife has extended off the court as well. In March, Wright and Shelburne reported Leonard and his camp turned down a four-year, $22 million extension from Nike's Jordan Brand. The decision led to speculation around the league that Leonard—or, at least, his "group"—had grown disenchanted with the low profile afforded him in San Antonio.
It's commonly heard on the front office grapevine that Leonard is eyeing the Lakers as a free agent in 2019. One of the Western Conference executives noted it's no accident that the Lakers reportedly have shifted their free-agent plans to focus on the '19 class (which Leonard may headline), according to Shelburne and ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski, as opposed to a quick fix this summer.
"That's why [the Lakers] are spinning it into 'wait till next year,'" the executive said. "They know they can get Kawhi."
But only if the Spurs let it happen.
When Leonard returns to San Antonio at some point this summer, Popovich will have his chance to mend fences. If not, what are the Spurs' options? And what are Leonard's?
One NBA agent estimated Leonard would stand to haul in about $70 million more by signing the "super-max" extension with San Antonio this summer rather than bolting as a free agent in 2019.
"That would be the smart thing to do," the agent said.
But with so much ill will flowing between the two sides, is Spurs ownership going to approve a nearly quarter-of-a-billion-dollar investment in a player whose relationship with the organization has cracked?
"If I'm the Spurs, I trade him to Boston for [Jaylen] Brown, [Terry] Rozier and a first," the agent said. "Strike when the iron's hot, with all these teams coming at you."
Therein lies the Spurs' leverage. Leonard can't go anywhere until 2019 unless San Antonio sends him somewhere in a trade. And it doesn't have to be a situation or a city as glamorous as Boston.
"If I'm them," the agent said, "I'm trading him to Siberia if that gets me the best return."
And that, like the relationship between the Spurs and Leonard, would be awfully cold.

Apparently Facebook paid advertising may have some value–at least to a company that quit it right before the social network's IPO. The New York Times reports that General Motors is returning to Facebook for a test drive of a mobile-only ad campaign.
The two went through an ugly breakup in 2012 when G.M. announced it was pulling its $10 million of annual Facebook paid advertising (they still have a large presence using free social media tools), telling the Wall Street Journal at the time that it had "little value". "It's not unusual for us to move our spending around various outlets, especially with the growth of social and digital media outlets," Tom Henderson, a spokesman for the automaker, told the Times at the time. Back in July of 2012, it was rumored that they were considering going back into business together, but little came until now.
In case G.M. is looking for some inspiration for a good Facebook campaign, we recommend this list of the 5 All-Time Best Facebook Campaigns.

As mentioned here before and now on FreeBSD – the Unknown Giant, there will soon be "BSD Magazine". It's due out in 2Q 2008.
Digging around on the site shows some promotional material that says "Linux" where it should say "BSD". This is probably because it's repurposed from one of Software Media LLC's other publications. It should be interesting. If you have a itch to write, they are taking submissions, though it sounds like they've already got the first issue ready.

PICKING THE TEXAS T-BONE: NOT NUMBER ONE WITH THAT BULLET Texas may be way behind other states vying for chunks of the $8 billion in stimulus money the feds are handing out for high-speed rail projects, but it's getting in line: "Texas is asking for $1.7 billion to speed development of a super-fast passenger train linking Dallas to Austin to San Antonio, and with a spur to Houston. Federal guidelines for the funds make it unlikely that such a big amount will be awarded to Texas, given how little preliminary work — such as environmental studies, feasibility reviews or right of way acquisition — has been done on the bullet train proposal. Still, TxDOT spokeswoman Karen Amacker said today, "it never hurts to ask," and noted that the guidelines for the grants released in June are themselves in draft form. . . . [U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray] LaHood said even states, like Texas, who have so far done little to advance high-speed passenger rail will be considered for the grants." [Transportation Blog, via Off the Kuff]

"a spur" to the biggest city in the state and the 4th largest in the country…TxDot continues to be a joke. I'm surprised they aren't asking for funds to double the lanes on the Katy Freeway again, since concreting over cities is what they do best.
I appreciate Mr. LaHood trying to save us from ourselves.
So little work done? There was a ton of feasibility work for the same route (acquisitions and route) in the early 90s as part of an ISTEA proposal. And more than just ground work. It was a serious proposal to acquire federal transportation dollars.
OK, now I'm remembering. After spending the early 90s trying to drum up private dollars to fund the Texas triangle and against a hefty SW Airlines lobby, the plan was dropped. But it was a serious plan, no?
It's makes perfect sense to put Houston separate on any high speed rail. The problem most people don't realize is a language barrier.
Most people think when the FEDs say high speed rail, they mean people. They don't. They actually mean freight for most high speed corridors, especially Texas.
The high speed corridor Houston is on basically says we aren't part of Texas. We are to be connected to the Gulf Coast with New Orleans with no connection to the rest of Texas (other than Beaumont).
TxDOT sees it different, but the only way they add Houston to the mix is if they T us in along the Federal high speed corridor that pretty much follows I-35.
The reason we are connected to New Orleans is that the Port of New Orleans and southeast Lousiana and southern Mississippi blow Houston away with freight tonnage. Actually, New Orleans alone does that.
The master planned "goods" corridors for the North America doesn't care about state lines. I-35 presents a corridor from future ports along the Mexican Pacific Coast that will connect to the I-35 corridor and carry goods towards Kansas City.
Houston falls in line with ports along the Gulf Coast.
All this has been under plans since the 90s with NAFTA. Clinton, Bush, and the current President are all in line with this. The whole Trans Texas Corridor fiasco is a part of this. Many people think that the TTC is gone. It isn't. It's just being renamed and packaged. The Supreme Court decision in Kelo vs (Connecticut City) paves the way for use of eminent domain for anything. Citizens of Texas stalled the TTC, but they won't be able to stop USDOT from forcing it to happen.
So when pro high speed rail politicians talk, be very cautious. It's not about moving people. At least not at what ultimately occurs in the Bureaucracy.
The feasability work I'm remembering predates NAFTA, and it moved people, not goods. ISTEA was definately tapped, unsuccessfully.
I know of the feasibility work. I know it was to move people. That doesn't matter. NAFTA came in re-designated corridors for high speed rail (moving anything). For federal funding, you have to utilized those corridors. A link to Houston from the I-35 corridor does not fall in the master plan.
Welcome to the world where the federal govn't dictates how our state improves mobility versus us deciding.
We (states) are as free to decide as we are free to fund it without federal dollars.
And we would be a lot freer if we didn't have to send the funds to the feds in the first place if it were to come back to us in the end!
Ahhh, but that is common sense. That has no place in D.C. since the 1870's.
If public transportaion piggy backing on goods moving (without too much consequence to real commuter type people moving) makes better sense, great. Perhaps the two should be considered together, a public/private partnership. Perhaps there are people moving lessons to be learned from the mass transportation of goods.
I agree Radburn. Outside the immense cost to get high speed rail off the ground and moving, the concept of moving people rather quickly and avoiding the silly airport security procedures would be a very effective way to move people.
A 45minute flight from Houston to Dallas takes about 3 hours for many people (of course I've ran through security a break neck speed before in Houston). The security guys are getting better with commuters for business.
That sounds like an entirely different subject that logically leads to succession from the Union of States. You can't have it both ways. We enjoy protections unlike any in the world and enormous benefits from being part of the Union that have to be paid for. There is no guarantee that the redistribution will be equal among the states. If we don't like the ways the monies are collected or spent, we are free (again) to elect representation that will make the adjustments that we desire. Or you could choose to live in a state that receives more than it gives, if that is important to you. Frankly, I'm happy to be living in Texas vs. Mississippi. It's not simple, but it's what we've got.
For anybody who is interested, the link below will take you to the FRA website about high speed rail corridors for the US.
kjb and Radburn,
One of things that makes high-speed rail so effective and efficient in Europe and Asia is that most major cities there have comprehensive public transportation systems, usually light rail, streetcars, and subways connected to it. Unless Texas redoubles its efforts to build commuter and light rail in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio, high=speed rail for moving people will not live up to its potential here.
High speed rail in Texas won't happen in my lifetime (and I'm not that old). TXDOT has basically sold its soul to highways and (as John mentioned) we lack the public transit infrastructure to compliment such a system. While we were growing we could have added such infrastructure along the way but we were too cheap, short-sighted and frankly, stupid.
And finally, given this state is completely in bed with the "No Spending/Leave Me Alone" wing of the Republican Party, we are unlikely to see a lot of help from the feds (which is needed). Texas Congressmen spend all their time blasting such projects and voting against them (and our interests). So, states like Massachusetts, New York and California get money for these projects and we get left out in the cold.
What most people fail to grasp is that light rail is THE most expensive mass transit solution for a city like Houston. Utilizing buses makes tons more fiscal sense due to the layout of the Houston metropolitan area. But never mind facts, when Metreaux is involved, facts are things to be repressed, not trumpeted. High speed rail could most certainly be linked to effective bus routes managed prudently for a fraction of the cost of installing, operating and maintaining light rail lines. But that's not whirled class enough.
I really wish people on here would learn about something before posting.
TxDOT can't do rail. It's not in there power to do it. TxDOT works as the mercy of the Texas Transportation Commission. Currently the Commission is under sunset which means it's purpose is under review. The rules they run by can be altered at this time and then they move forward. The last time the Commission was under sunset was when the whole toll road kerfuffle moved front and center. Unless our legislature and the sunset commission specifically give TxDOT the power to move into the passenger rail busines, it won't happen. It's not TxDOT's fault, they are just doing what they are told.
And just as I was told about transportation funds, you'll need to support candidates that support high speed rail in the state legislature to be able to change the rules TxDOT runs on.
Okay, Texas (and as a consequence TXDOT) has sold its soul to highways.
The current rail road companies are just as guilty as highway interest. They have managed to keep TxDOT out their hair for many years.
In some of my experiences with TxDOT from a work related and non-work related standpoint, they abhor working with the rail road companies.
In Houston, UPRR has TxDOT, City of Houston, and Harris County tied down. For any new at grade railroad crossing or expansion/improving of an existing rail road crossing, they must remove two existing ones. There are regional plans right now to remove tons of minor rail road crossings. People that live in the West End and Rice Military areas may have already heard about this. All the minor street crossings are under the plan to be closed. TC Jester, Durham and Shepherd are to become grade separated crossings too. This is all so UPRR can consider allowing the County and METRO to have commuter rail.
Most high speed rail plans involve massive rehabbing existing rail corridors that could be modernized for speed. Many of our long distance corridors in Texas are quite straight, but the rail road companies are resisting. They are dedicated to serving their freight customers first.
For comparison, the LaDOTD next door to us has a lot of power over rail road corridors. My guess this goes back to Huey P. Long in the 30s who always fought them.
Anyway, the highway interests aren't the only ones stopping the move. Also, Southwest Airlines has a role in this also since their Texas commute business would potentially collapse if a high speed passenger rail system were to be built.
Does your employer know how much time you spend educating the rest of us "doofuses" on
his dime?
I have two computers running hydrologic and hydraulic models all the time. My responses occur when they are bogging down my computer to point where I can only do email and post on a website. Dynamic 2D flood models cripple computers and take about 2-4 hours to run. My posting lightens up when I'm not running those.
As much as I tell I learn about things going around. If a massive development project is being planned in an area, the could turn into more work for me or others in the firm. It's kind of like business development without paying someone for it.
We've got some leads on potential projects from Swamplot Posts, HAIF forums (don't got there often), Houston Strategies post, and Blog Houston. I also have correspondence with people involved with various civic groups in the city.
I'm pretty much trying to multi-task.
That's why I pretty much post during the day and not after work hours.
Of course not everything is work related in the posts though.
I'm confused by all this "freight" talk. Nothing on any of the websites mention that highspeed rail would have anything to do with freight movement. It appears to be specifically designed for transporting people. Nevermind that tracks supporting high speed rail would have to be devoted entirely to high speed rail and, last I checked, a freight train isn't going to manage speeds of 200 mph.
LOL @ Melanie.

Child Abuse
The Deepest Betrayal
Child abuse is the bitterest betrayal. A child, helpless and unable to make fully informed choices, present strong resistance, or pursue a safe escape, has a right to expect adult protection and support. Child abuse, whether through violence, emotional abuse, or sexual molestation, breaks faith with the obligation owed to all children. When abuse happens to a child, it is imperative that efforts be made to provide new security for a child, and then to heal the damage done as humanly possible.
Living up to the obligation:
- A child in adult hands
- Help and healing
- Finding a professional to help
A Major Commitment
We owe children an obligation, whether they are our own or not. Until a child is fit to function as a self-supporting and informed adult, we have an obligation not to take advantage of their lack of power or protection to inflict damage, or demand submission to acts that aren't in their own best interests. The obligation of power includes the obligation to use that power in good faith, and no form of child abuse can be considered "good faith."
This is even truer because so many necessary things are forced on children. From tetanus shots to mandatory education, from toilet training to attending family gatherings, children are constantly reminded of their helplessness and lack of power. When they are able to feel faith and comfort that these things they suffer are imposed only to ensure their own well-being, they can abide in love and security. When they are forced to suffer things that are not so clearly in their own interest, but merely the whim or desperate desire of a stronger, more powerful adult, the security based on trust is shattered.
Helping children recover from such shattering experiences demands the skill and patience of trained professionals.
Long-term Effects
Abuse can have life-long affects on those who suffer it, or those who are exposed to the suffering of others. Rape and molestation, domestic violence, humiliation, cruelty, bullying – all these can leave permanent scars on the mental and emotional development of children. Treating those scars isn't a simple thing, though.
The very lack of understanding, power, and self-control, and the lack of social awareness, makes treatment of children a complex challenge. A child can be hurt, and unable to say so, much less say how. A child can be insecure, but not know why. A child can grieve, but have no idea what to do about the grieving. A counselor or coach has to combine training with direct observation, and gently interact with a child, trying to guide him or her to a point where pain, fear, and betrayal have been dealt with. In addition, counselors must know that these healings are often only the first rounds of many, as each shift in a child's life can reopen scars, or demand new closure and understanding.
Finding a Great Counselor
Finding a counselor with the skill and training to help heal an abused child is a challenge. The match between counselor and child must be right. If it is right, the parents must be able to support and reinforce the counselor. That requires good communications on all sides, and a good alignment between the adults and the child.
Finding such a counselor is often best left in the hands of a good referral agency. With the training to make good matches, and the background information to know and understand the strengths and weaknesses of skilled professionals, referral agencies are well placed to bring patients and
counselors together.

The invention of the camera has evolved tremendously, from film to digital? Can you say AMAZING!
It's quite interesting how I got into photography, I actually thought I was signing up for a Video Communications class, which was actually photography. And from there I fell in love. I took this course that introduced me to film photography and the amazing, timeless darkroom. At first, I wasn't all into it, because we were learning about the basics, which at the time I didn't think mattered. I thought it was as easy as pressing down on the shutter button. I had no idea what all the terms in photography were, such as ISO, aperture, shutter speed, etc. Also, I didn't know the different parts of a camera, I just knew it was a camera and you clicked the button on the top right. I'm sure we've all experienced this, we think we know what we're doing, when actually we have so much to learn. Even now, especially with all these digital enhancements, we will continue to learn in this medium known as photography. Camera's are a part of technology and while technology grows we can only expect the camera to grow as well. But I do believe that nothing beats the timeless beginnings of film technology.
You may be thinking what's so great about film, right? Well, let me tell you, EVERYTHING about film is amazing! But the greatest part of film photography is that it helps you understand the crazy dynamics within light. We all know light is important, but you learn as you go, just how to record light and produce an image using or not using light. There's also those "planned shots", how about that one time when you actually had to think about the shot, or what it was that you were trying to shoot? With digital, it's crazy awesome how we can just shoot to our hearts content (and I do love that feature about digital), but it's a totally different experience to compose an image in your head before you actually click the shutter button. And the timeless darkroom, the ultimate home for all film lovers. Today, Adobe is our digital darkroom, but before digital, it was an actual dark room, hence the name… Darkroom! The room isn't complete darkness of course, more like a red-light room (that probably would've been a more appropriate name right?). There's probably more than a dozen reasons why film is amazing, but overall it's an experience, a timeless, everlasting experience.
Digital photography, on the other hand, is probably one of the greatest advancements of technology. How incredible is it that we are able to capture an image and within seconds see our final results? Or just how convenient has it become that just about every cellphone contains a camera for its user? In this day and age, it's all about convenience, and cameras today seem to do just that. Be convenient. But that's not all, it's allowed the art to grow into a sort of movement, a way of expression that connects people. Today, anyone can go into a store, buy a camera, and start taking pictures, developing their own artistic style. They can further post their pictures and connect with everyone around the world who is doing the same thing. There's also the convenience of developing your own images, by saving your files onto your computer or external hard drive. There's also the post-processing part, which allows anyone to freely edit the photos in B&W, color, or by fixing your levels, saturation, exposure, etc. Digital photography is really growing and becoming popular among us all, and while the world makes technological advancements, you can be sure photography will be right there with it.
Overall, I think both film and digital are best distinguished as two happy mediums, neither different nor the same. Yes, both are made for the same purpose, but rather than be different, I think that they complement each other. Digital darkroom may take over the days of film, but I really believe that everyone should at least once in their life experience film photography. I'm no expert at developing film or all things film, it's just something that began my journey into photography – the world of images. And maybe it can open your world too! 🙂

When's the last time you ran backward? Sure, you might not look cool doing it, but studies have found that motoring in reverse torches more calories, works your lungs more efficiently, and helps your bones to absorb shock more effectively than regular running. Give it a shot with this 400- meter forward-backward running challenge created by Todd Durkin, C.S.C.S., author of The IMPACT! Body Plan.
Here's how it works: Sprint a quarter mile—running forward—as fast as possible. Rest for 2 minutes. Then, complete the quarter mile again, but run backward this time. Your goal is to finish the distance in less than double the time it took you to run it the first time.
When Durkin ran the challenge he completed the regular sprint in 1 minute and 58 seconds. He needed to complete the lap running backward in less than 3 minutes and 56 seconds. His final time: 3 minutes and 40 seconds. What was your time? Let us know in the comments below.

Since the launch of her brand in the 90s, Kate Spade's designs have embodied a playful approach to fashion. No design too serious, each item had bold colors and prints — hot pink, stripes, glitter, and polka dots (page 2) — and embodied fun. Celebrities often wore her designs and still do. Take a look back at Kate Spade's most iconic designs, ahead.
Kate Spade New York | Cindy Ord/Getty Images for kate spade
- Fun fact: Kate Spade worked as a journalist before becoming a designer, according to The Street.
Anyone in search of a floral dress had to look no further than Kate Spade. The brand is known for "bright and pastel-colored floral designs, which are featured on everything from shoes to handbags to ready-to-wear," according to Cosmopolitan.
Hint: These three design aspects showed up often in Spade's designs.
Bows, polka dots, and champagne

- Fun fact: By 2006, Kate Spade's brand earned $100 million in revenue annually, according to The Street.
Three signature items one can find in Kate Spade's designs are bows, polka dots, and champagne, according to Independent. She "managed successfully to merge typically girly features with grown-up, elegant style."
Hint: Kate Spade's designs were known for featuring these words.
Fun sayings

- Fun fact: Kate Spade left her label in 2007, according to Cosmopolitan.
The phrase, "glitter is my favorite color," became a staple on Kate Spade designs. The saying showed up — and still does — on phone cases, pouches, and more. This phrase is one of many that became associated with the brand.
Hint: Kate Spade became a success in handbags but this fashion item too.
Whimsical accessories

Hint: Spade became known for this unusual style.
Handbags that don't look like handbags
California dreaming surf 3d van | Kate Spade
- Fun fact: Kate Spade designed uniforms for flight attendants, according to Time.
Some of Kate Spade's most iconic pieces included bags that didn't resemble bags at all, according to Cosmopolitan. Of the most famous was the clutch designed to look like a radio and another resembling a boom box. Designs in the same style can be seen on the Kate Spade website today.
Hint: This handbag design is undoubtedly Kate Spade's most famous.
Sam handbag
Thompson street sam | Kate Spade
- Fun fact: "The night before her first trade show, she couldn't decide whether to put those iconic black labels "Kate Spade New York" labels on the inside of the bags or the outside, and spent hours moving them back and forth," according to Forbes.
Kate Spade's Sam handbag launched her brand and eventually landed her designs in upscale department stores such as Neiman Marcus. She debuted the black, nylon bag in the 90s, which became a huge success. The brand has since reissued the Sam bag, in stores and online, with modern updates.
Hint: A less obvious item for an accessories designer took off and remains a popular item.
2019 Kate Spade New York Mega Planner | Barnes & Noble
- Fun fact: Kate Spade made her first handbag out of burlap she bought from a potato-sack manufacturer she "found in the Yellow Pages," she told Time in 2004.
Home accessories, specifically stationary, have become a staple of the Kate Spade brand. Chances are if you see someone with a cute and playful date planner, it's by Kate Spade. The brand continues to release notepads and stationary echoing Spade's original vision. Much of the stationary involves gold stickers with cheeky sayings such as "take the day off," florals, and glitter.

Besides the colors of the season Spring also means a few different things to me. First, when I come back home from my Texas adventure I will be starting my Spring Cleaning. That's right that's where I clean everything top to bottom in my home. I weed out all the old stuff that is no longer being used and either add it to my online store or it gets added to my recycle crafts pile. It also means freshening up the house and doing minor repairs. That way going into the summer things are nice and neat.
Another great thing about Spring is my garden! I love planting and bringing new things to life. That's right I plant a garden and it's awesome just to step out the back door and have fresh produce. I have about a quarter of my plants planted and when I get back from Texas I will be planting the rest. Gardening is a great hobby and it relaxes me. I guess you can say gardening brings me to my happy place. Do you like gardening? What do you plant? Let me know in the comment section below.
Our first full spring month April also gave me the birth of my third daughter Megan. She is so like me we fight like often but its because we are both stubborn and pigheaded. She is truly my spring baby so full of a zeal for life. (Yes, I do have a baby for each season and no it was not planned that way.)
Another thing Spring brings is April showers. Yes, I am going there. April showers do bring May flowers. By mid-April, my garden will be 100% planted and because of the rain we get in Florida my plants will be in bloom.
Who does not love listening to the sound of rain? I personally love listening to the sound of the rain pitter-pattering on the roof and against the windows while I enjoy a nice cup of tea or coffee and read. Or if I am feeling a bit inspired possibly going into writer mode and work on my next novel. It has been raining on and off since I was at the airport coming out to Texas as well as while being here. To me, this is a wonderful Spring memory. Especially since I get to be here with my oldest daughter, son-in-law, and Grandbaby.
So from myself and the rest of the crazy, we hope your upcoming Easter, as well as the start of your spring, is amazing and full of regrowth.
Much Love and Blessings To All,

When we first got off the vaporetto with our gigantic suitcases for the summer, we were faced with unnamed winding streets and a myriad of bridges with an ever increasing amount of stairs. Venice seemed more like an obstacle course than the romantic city we thought it was. However, after being treated to a real Italian dinner, which consists of eating a whole 10" pizza individually, professors and students happily chatted, and we knew that this was going to be a promising summer.
A regular day for a Pratt in Venice student started with a cup of espresso and perhaps a brioche from the local bar. Then after dodging a few hundred pigeons we would make our way to our class site. The painting, art history, and Italian classes were held at the UIA on the island of the Guidecca, in a historic building overlooking the sea. Printmaking was held near the Rialto at the Scuola di Grafica in a studio with excellent printmaking equipment.
Within the studio classes, the professors were encouraging everyone's individual goals. Classes were filled with students of various majors, ranging from Commercial Design to Fine Arts to Art History. Our professors were just as excited to learn and take advantage of the Venetian setting. Students were able to make progress in their artwork while still enjoying the environment that had so much to offer. The on-site art history classes held in the Doge's Palace, various churches, the Scuola San Rocco, and Torcello helped us understand the culture and history of the city that we were living in.
The Materials and Techniques class studied the more technical aspects of the art of Venice. Trips included visiting the San Marco mosaic conservation lab, the famous clock tower, the Marciana Library, and the Orsoni mosaic factory.
Budgets permitting, our days would end with a gelato. Though there was a gelato stand at every corner, we discovered our favorite near the Rialto bridge. Sometimes on weekends, we would take a boat to the Lido, an island lined with a beach. The weather was nice almost every single day that we were there.
One of our favorite excursions in the Veneto was our visit to the Villa Barbaro and the surrounding area. We then proceeded to Bassano where we had an endless and very satisfying traditional Italian meal. The trip then continued with water color painting and sketching of the hills and verdant, rich country side.
We ended our six-week stay in Venice with the Feast of the Redeemer, an annual event which celebrates the end of the plague. Venetians build a long bridge across the lagoon before the festival and the Grand Canal fills with hundreds of boats. All of Venice is in celebration. We spent our evening drinking prosecco, eating food, and watching the awesome fireworks show over the water.
Venice was an enriching and unforgettable experience for us. Ciao Venezia!

After posting the cake box, I realized I never showed the wedding invites I did. My Daughter picked out these stamps. The image is from Inkadinkado and the Verse is from Fiskars stamps.
Sorry for the poor pics the sun was coming through the window wierd this morning. Here is the Invite and RSVP, I did the insides and the RSVP's on the computer. To keep it as simple as possible I planned on just stamping in green ink the flourish image and brown ink the verse, but I just couldn't get the green I wanted, so my Husband said well why don't you emboss it that will help it stand out, so I went and found the right green and ended up embossing all those, it took more time but I think they looked alot better that way.
Here is a close up on just the invite, maybe you can see the embossing more.
Wow am I sore we did alot of work around the house yesterday, it was such a Beautiful warm day, and it looks like we will be having another today, oh how I love Spring :)
Hope you are all enjoying a wonderful sunny day!
Thank you so much for stopping by,

I just had to post about this little tool ! I think all people who are busy in software development using .Net, should at least have a look at it ;).
What am I talking about, well, a small tool called ILMerge. It's available from the research part of Microsoft. So what is it about ?
Best way to explain a tool is by giving an example : Imagine you have several .Net projects that, all of them, create separate dll's ! This is not uncommon and you probably designed your projects this way, because they reflect some sort of internal business architecture… so no worries here. But on the other hand you probably also have some solutions that incorporate several projects, who have some kind of common link between them. So wouldn't it be nice if you could get all those projects, that are linked one way or another, inside one dll instead of separated ones ?
Well with ILMerge you can accomplish this ! It will combine several input dll's into one target dll or even better, combine an exe and several dll's into just one exe ! Another example is to combine code dll's together with their resource assemblies !
This procedure is of course only relevant for deployment of your software, so developers don't have to perform this step and still can program with the complete original dll base ! But before packaging the software, it would be ideal to merge several dll's to get a cleaner, smaller install package.
On a side note, I received a small update by Scott Guthrie, that there will be an ASPNet_Merge.exe MS Build task with the Visual Studio 2008 release !! But no ILMerge task yet…

Nested Exceptions for Ruby
I missed nested exceptions in Ruby.
Some people have an aversion to nested exceptions (aka chained exceptions), but I think that's because they've only encountered them in a land of checked exceptions, where catching, wrapping, and rethrowing is often a defensive measure against an uncool method signature. (The two flavors of uncool are "
throws RemoteException, SQLException, JimmysException, SomeOtherException, KitchenSink" and "
throws Exception".)
In a world like ours where the only motivations to rescue and re-raise are
- to add valuable contextual information or
- to expose a clear interface to callers,
I think an exception holding a reference to its cause, including its cause's backtrace, could be nice.
Anyway, I missed nested exceptions in Ruby, so here's Nestegg, a gem enabling nesting of exceptions. It's brand new. It's tested, but not yet used in anger.
For now, it's just one module. If you include it in an exception class,
include Nestegg::NestingException
then raise that exception from within a rescue block,
lines = read_config_file
# ... then use it to do stuff
# ... stuff that might fail for other reasons
raise ConfigurationError
it will automatically grab
$! as its cause and make the cause's backtrace part of its own. You can also pass a cause into the constructor of your exception.
Take a look and tell me what you think.

Using foam insulation in your house is on of the best ways to increase the energy efficiency of your HVAC system and reduce the energy bills. Good quality foam installed correctly can save you more money. That is why hiring a professional spray foam insulation company can be beneficial for you.
However, if you plan on doing the thing by yourself, you should get a proper know how of the safety tips to stay safe. Here are some of the most common spray foam insulation mistakes to avoid.
Hot Foam
For hot foam spraying, you want the cylinder to feel just warm to the touch, if the cylinder feels too hot, this might degrade the quality of the foam and make it less effective in the process.
Cold Foam
When you use the cylinders without warning up. The spray coming out will be too cold. Cold foam comes out softer, you'll still lose R value just like when you use the hot foam.
So, you'll need to warm up the cylinder by using an apparatus or by placing it directly under sunlight. Additionally, working with the materials becomes a lot easier when they are hot.
Clogged Nozzle Spraying
You should replace the nozzle of the apparatus as soon as it starts to clog up. If you end up ignoring this, the spray pattern would come out irregular.
When a new tips is installed, the spray pattern is good, but it gradually starts declining as you process.
Fast Spraying
When spraying, make sure that you progress slowly. So, keep your speed slow and progress away slowly from the point form where you started. Spray too fast, and you'll end up putting a very thin layer that won't too much. So, you should hire Superior Insulation Contractors NJ for the best results.

Memos from Jesus
A Study of Revelation 2 & 3
by Dennis Pollock
There are two particular chapters in the book of Revelation that are incredibly valuable and totally unique in the Scriptures. They are chapters two and three, in which Jesus dictates brief letters, or you might even call them memos, to seven different churches of John's day. They are short, pithy, and to the point. While Paul's letters to the churches ran long and went into great length covering both doctrine and godly living, Jesus' memos are strictly concerned with the spiritual temperature and moral climate of the churches, and various issues that needed to be addressed. We sometimes lament that Jesus left no writings behind, but this is not altogether true. These short memos to the churches were His writings, dictated to John, and serve as a wonderful window into the mind of our Savior as He contemplates and assesses the assemblies of believers that met in His name.
These two chapters are so significant and distinctive they should be read by Christians over and over again. And yet strangely they are not especially popular in the churches. Pastors rarely preach on them and most Christians rarely read them. The 23rd Psalm we know well, and John 3:16 we know by heart. But if you were to ask most Christians what is found in Revelation 2 and 3, probably not very many would be able to tell you. Perhaps part of the reason for this is that they are found in the book of Revelation, a book which many Christians avoid at all costs, which is a great tragedy. Another reason is that these letters are a bit tough. They are not soft and easy exhortations about how much God loves them and if they will only have a little faith, He will make all their wildest dreams come true. Jesus is speaking as the Head of the church here, and He is not afraid to express His indignation when He finds His followers widely missing the mark. The memos all follow a similar pattern, and in this devotional we shall observe the various features of that pattern.
Jesus' ID
These memos all begin the same way: Jesus identifies Himself by giving a unique aspect of who He is. To one church He describes Himself as "He who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands" (referring to the churches). To another He calls Himself "the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life." In another case He says of Himself: "He who has the sharp two-edged sword." Another time He calls Himself: "The faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God." It is interesting that He never mentions Himself by His name, Jesus. The descriptions say it all, and He knows that His people will get it. The descriptions are never very long. Should Jesus want to go into great length about Himself, it would take a huge book to begin to cover it. But the short descriptions He does give are enough to engender respect, and to remind the believers that these words are not coming from some well-meaning friend or local preacher or self-appointed prophet. They are words from the mouth of the very Lord of life.
"I know your works"
The next thing we find in these memos is the sentence: "I know your works." He says this to each of the seven churches without a single exception. In the mind of Jesus, this must be incredibly important for both churches and individual believers. Some may find this strange. Having heard so often that salvation has nothing to do with works, they have erroneously concluded that works are almost entirely irrelevant in the Christian life. Anyone with even the most rudimentary knowledge of the Bible knows that this is entirely false. James tells us that faith without works is dead. In the little book of Titus, Paul, the greatest expositor of the grace of Jesus, hammers home the theme that Christians must do "good works." Perhaps fearing some people would pervert his grace teachings to mean that we need not bother ourselves with good works at all, he boldly declares that Jesus "gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works" (Titus 2:14).
Not only do these memos tell us that Jesus is concerned about our works; they reveal that He is intimately aware of them. He doesn't have to guess at what we are doing or not doing. He carefully observes our every act and every failure to act. Some things He approves and appreciates, and some things He does not.
The very first church He addresses is an interesting example of this. He starts out with a wonderful compliment, telling the church at Ephesus, "I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary" (Revelation 2:2,3). Wow! What a commendation! If I ever heard Jesus say this to me I would be feeling pretty good about myself. But He does not stop there. He goes on to say: "Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love" (Revelation 2:4). The love these believer had for Jesus in the early days was waning. They were still doing a lot. Probably their works and labor for Jesus would put many of our modern churches to shame. But somehow the ardor wasn't there like it once was. Then Jesus reveals the evidence of this cooling-off: "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works" (Revelation 2:5) First He tells them that their love isn't what it used to be; then He tells them to repent and do the first works.
We see from this that there is a definite connection between a passionate love for Jesus and working diligently in His kingdom. People who are passionately in love with Jesus will find ways to serve Him. Whether they can preach or not, whether they have a golden voice or a voice that sounds like a rusty gate, whether they have a winning personality or no personality at all, whether they have lots of money to finance their ministry dreams or they struggle every month to pay the electric bill, whether they are admired by all and considered gifted, or ignored by all and have to look with a microscope to find even the tiniest gift in their lives, they will pray, they will cry, they will beseech the Lord of heaven over and over again until He opens a door for them to be fruitful in His service. They will find a way!
Commendations and Rebukes
Everyone of us needs encouragement. When we work long and hard on any venture or endeavor, it lifts our spirits to have someone notice us and say, "good job." The Head of the church is aware of this, and in five of the seven memos He dictates to His churches He provides encouraging words. He tells the church at Philadelphia, "Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth" (Revelation 3:10). He commends the church at Thyatira that their last works are more than their first (Revelation 2:19). To the church at Pergamos He writes: "You hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith" (Revelation 2:13).
This is tremendously important because it shows us that as great as Jesus is, as holy and perfect as He is, He can still condescend to tell His stumbling, fumbling children that they are doing some things right. Sometimes we suppose that nothing we could ever do really pleases Him. Because of our flaws and warts, all our best efforts are stained, all our noblest endeavors are warped, and our highest accomplishments are far from perfect. This may be true, but it still does not stop our gracious Lord from speaking to our hearts and whispering, "Well done!"
On the other hand, Jesus is not at all shy about speaking words of criticism to His people. In fact out of the five churches He commends, with three of them He turns around and speaks critically about particular situations going on in them. With two of the churches, Sardis and Laodicea, He has nothing good at all to say. He tells the church at Sardis that they are dead, and the church at Laodicea that He is ready to vomit them out of His mouth.
Jesus makes threats
Jesus makes threats! I know some have a hard time associating our Lord with threats and assume He always goes around speaking words of blessing to one and all, but you do not get this impression from these memos to the churches. To a woman calling herself a prophetess and seducing the men of the church into sexual immorality, He threatens to kill her children. The Ephesian church is warned that if they don't get their act together, He will remove their lampstand, which meant He would shut down the church, or at least remove His presence from it. Jesus tells a group in Pergamos that He will fight against them with the sword of His mouth. Not exactly the soft, comforting words we normally associate with Jesus!
These memos reveal a great fallacy that is so often heard and taught in Christianity, actually two fallacies. The first is that since we are now in the age of grace God doesn't get mad anymore. Sure, the God of the Old Testament could get pretty hot with those complaining murmuring Israelites, even opening up the ground to swallow them alive in His fury. But that was then, this is now. When the Old Testament passed, God had a personality change. He is now more laid back, much more pleasant, and a whole lot more tolerant. These memos to the churches reveal that God can still get pretty upset. Although forgiveness is offered through Jesus Christ, God still gets angry when His children revel in carnality and trample on the blood of His Son Jesus Christ.
A second fallacy these memos reveal is the teaching which suggests that because we are saved by Jesus' grace He cannot see our sins anymore. When God looks at us, He always sees Jesus. It is as though there is a huge eight by eight foot glossy photo of Jesus that hangs over our heads at all times. While we indulge our passions in the bed of adultery, God looks down and only sees that enormous photo of Jesus. He never even notices that we are flagrantly defying one of His most fundamental commandments. While we lie to our boss, drink ourselves into a stupor, scream at our spouses, beat our children, snort cocaine, spend hours lusting over pornography, or break up our marriages because we have found a younger model, God looks down upon us, sees that beautiful picture of Jesus over our heads smiling back at Him, and says to Himself, "My, what wonderful, obedient children I have!"
This doctrine of "God cannot see my sins" is one of the most ridiculous and patently false teachings you will ever hear in the church of Jesus Christ. Through Christ God forgives us, justifies us, and does not eject us from His family when we sin. But the Almighty did not suffer a case of blindness when you were born again. Jesus says to the Laodicean church, "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten" (Revelation 3:19). Make no mistake about it. The great Head of the church sees all we do, both our sins and our righteous deeds. The Bible says, "All things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account" (Hebrews 4:13). And when the case calls for it, He will not hesitate to bring strong discipline upon His errant children.
Promises to Overcomers
Jesus' memos to His people all end the same way: with a promise for overcomers. The Ephesians are told, "To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God" (Revelation 2:7). The believers at Smyrna are promised that "He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death," the believers at Pergamos are told, "To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat," and even the sickly church at Laodicea is promised, "To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Every single church is given a promise for overcomers.
We notice that Jesus does not give these promises to "him that prays the sinners prayer," or to "him that signs a church membership card." This is not for "him that earns an attendance award for seven years running" or for "him that is baptized" or for "him that speaks with tongues" or "him that attends Bible studies, prayer meetings, and choir practices every week." The promises are for "him that overcomes."
From the moment you are born again, there are pressures that will come at you, pressures which are determined to make you fail in your walk with Christ. They come from three basic sources: the world, the flesh, and the devil and his demons. Sometimes these pressures will manifest in a great disappointment, sometimes a great loss, or some mysterious suffering that you cannot explain and seems to defy your belief in the goodness of God. Sometimes they will come as sexual temptation. At other times it may simply be the tough daily grind over a period of years that wears you down and moves you to draw back from church, from fellowship with other believers, and entices you to stop reading your Bible and move toward a secular life. There are only two choices for us in these things: we can either overcome these forces through faith in Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit, or we can be overcome and to put it Biblically, "shrink back to destruction." Over and over in these memos Jesus encourages the believers then and now to be overcomers through faith in Him, and promises us great rewards for this.
Summing it up
In these seven short memos to His churches, we have a great treasure, an insight into the mind of our Lord concerning His people. We would do well to ask ourselves, "What if the Lord Jesus would write me such a letter? What would He say?" In most cases He would probably have commendations and criticisms. He would encourage us to overcome every force that tries to put a wedge between Him and us. And He would surely tell us those words He told the churches long ago: "I know your works."
