How to complete the secret "Grave Mistake" Season 4 challenge
The secret "Grave Mistake" challenge could be the last secret quest of Fortnite Season 4.
The secret Season 4 questline continues on, this week, with the "Grave Mistake" mission. Those who have been keeping up with these quests know that there's a mischievous gnome running around the map causing problems for our heroes.
Last week, we were tasked with sanitizing the giant Slurp vats in Slurpy Swamp. After that, we had to confront the troublesome gnome as he escaped the building. Each of these challenges netted us 10,000 XP.
Although the name of the last challenge was "Escape," it would seem as though the villainous Gnome landed harder than he expected. Now, in the landing spot from last week, you'll find a grave that houses his remains.
The challenge for this week is simple: visit the grave and pay respects. In typical Fortnite fashion, the developers embraced the meme by allowing players to press F to pay respects.
Anyone who knows anything about comic books knows that this probably isn't the last we'll see of this gnome. He may even play a small role in the plotline when Galactus shows up. After all, the last challenge was called "Escape" not "Die."
We'll keep you posted if there's another secret challenge, as we predict. If not, then this is your last chance to earn a free 20,000 XP before the season ends.
Fortnite Galactus event: Nexus War start date and time
The exact date and time for the Nexus War finale in Fortnite has been confirmed, and there is little time to prepare for the Galactus event.
The event, which will bring Chapter 2, Season 4 to a climax, as Galactus – aka the Devourer of Worlds – is bombing towards the map to, presumably, destroy it all.
The countdown to the event appeared in-game on November 21, and Epic have now confirmed the exact date and time when the Nexus War will commence.
"It was only a matter of time." Epic say in their blog post. "Galactus is closing in on the Island and the fate of all Reality lies in the balance. Join the ultimate fight against Galactus in the one-time-only Nexus War finale event."
When is the Galactus event in Fortnite?
The Nexus War finale event will start on December 1 at 1PM PT / 4PM ET / 9PM GMT.
To make sure you don't miss out, Epic has given some tips to be prepared for the event:
If you haven't already downloaded the 14.60 update, load the game on your preferred device and download today.
Fortnite's new integration with Houseparty means you can have live video chat in Fortnite (PC, PS4/PS5) while attending the event.
We've taken measures to ensure more people can attend the event, but we still recommend everyone log into Fortnite at least 60 minutes prior to the event start. The event playlist is expected to go live 30 minutes prior to the start time.
Of course, even if you can't play the game yourself at the time, you'll still be able to catch the action on Twitch and YouTube streams from content creators.
As Epic confirms, this is a one-time-only event, so there won't be any reruns unlike previous end of season events.
All leaked Fortnite skins & cosmetics from v14.60
Fortnite v14.60 brought leaked skins, pickaxes, and more cosmetics to the game.
Fortnite v14.60 is here, and you know what that means: a batch of leaked skins that will be hitting the Item Shop in the upcoming weeks.
Fans are eagerly awaiting the next Fortnite event, which is rumored to be the biggest event in the history of the game. Until then, we can pass the time by drooling over some upcoming skins. The Cob skin is going to be a must-have going into Thanksgiving.
Leaked Skins & Back Bling
Fortnite is bringing a couple of interesting Thanksgiving skins to Fortnite, this year, including a skin concept that has existed for a while. Peely is getting the seasonal treatment and being turned into corn on the cob. This will, reportedly, be a part of a skin bundle with the evil pie-looking skin.
Of course, players will also see Venom enter the game as early as today in the Venom Cup. Winners of the skin will be able to use it this week. Everyone else will have a chance to buy it at a later date – probably this weekend.
The resident witch and wizard – Elmira and Castor – received a Dark variant in this patch, as well. Players who already own these skins will be able to access this new style right away.
Leaked Pickaxes
The leaked pickaxes in this update aren't much to write home about – all but Venom's pickaxe. We have some bad news about that one, though.
According to Hypex, it will be a built-in pickaxe that we won't be able to use with other skins.
Leaked Wraps
We'll be getting a few wraps to go along with the leaked skins in the section above. The Galaxy Wrap appears to be another style for the female Galaxy skin that we saw a while back.
The Rainbow Fog wrap looks to be a part of the upcoming Fortnite X House Party collaboration, meaning players will probably be able to get it for free.
There are a few miscellaneous leaked cosmetics as well, including a Reboot Van emoticon, a Thor music pack, and two sprays that relate to Ghost Rider and Peely.
We don't know whether or not you'll be able to buy these items, but most of the time Epic save these for free challenge rewards.
Cosmetics weren't the only leaks that were a part of the v14.60 update. We also have some information on what we can expect coming out of the next Fortnite event: Devourer of Worlds.
We'll keep you covered with all of the leaks ahead of the update, so make sure to follow us on Twitter @FortniteINTEL.
Patch Notes
Fortnite update 14.60 patch notes: Venom Skin, Creative changes & more

XP Xtravaganza Part Two
XP Xtravaganza Part 2 starts this week: "Get the whole squad together and take on these party-wise challenges to finish out the Battle Pass in style," Epic explain.
Houseparty x Fortnite video chat
Fortnite has teamed up with Houseparty to bring a brand new video chat feature.
Houseparty video chat will be available to Fortnite players on PC, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. Players will also need an iOS or Android mobile device with the Houseparty app installed. With the app installed, connect your Houseparty account to your Epic Games account to get started."

Sony said it sold more than one million units of the new PlayStation 4 videogame console to consumers in its first day on sale, indicating strong initial demand for the device.
Andrew House, head of the Japanese tech giant's videogame division said in a statement that gamers appear to be reacting well to the device.
"Sales remain very strong in North America, and we expect continued enthusiasm as we launch the PlayStation 4 in Europe and Latin America," he said. The device will continue its rollout beyond North American markets on Nov. 29.
The company has said it expects to sell five million units by March, which would beat the initial sales rollout of its last-generation videogame device, the PlayStation 3, which sold 3.5 million units worldwide over the same introductory period.
Sony's data follow an initial flood of enthusiasm and long lines at stores for the PS4's debut at midnight Friday morning, as well as stock-outs reported at many retailers.
The numbers are a positive sign for the videogame console industry, which has struggled in recent years through a protracted slump as consumers have held off purchasing or turned to games offered on mobile devices and social networking websites.
Videogame executives have blamed the industry's contracting sales on the cyclical nature of the console devices, citing sales slowdowns shortly before Microsoft's Xbox 360, Nintendo's Wii and Sony's PlayStation 3 were all introduced between 2005 and 2006. Shortly after their introduction, console videogame sales surged 28% in 2007, according to data from market research firm PwC.
This time, however, sales are expected to grow more slowly. PwC says it expects worldwide console games sales to grow 4.2% to $25.98 billion this year, up from $24.93 billion a year prior. In 2014, sales are expected to rise another 6.4% to $27.62 billion.
The strong sales data from Sony, though, point to the possibility of a more dramatic uptick. Still, analysts warn, the real test of the device will be over the longer term, and whether it can mirror or even beat the momentum of its predecessors.
Sony had earlier said it had ample quantities of the device, citing easier manufacturing processes. Analysts have said they expect Sony to sell as many PS4s as it can manufacture over the holiday shopping season. Microsoft, which is launching its Xbox One on Nov. 22, said it too has strong supplies ahead of launch.
Separately, some customers have complained on social networking websites that their PlayStation 4 devices weren't acting as they should, including inability to turn on as expected. Sony said it is investigating the reports, but believes the issue impacts a "very small percentage total units shipped to consumers."

New Artist Spotlight: Chasen
- Mike Donehey CCMmagazine.com
- 2010 4 Feb
Mike Donehey, lead singer for Tenth Avenue North (GMA's reigning "New Artist of the Year") interviews Chasen Callahan, frontman of new INO recording band Chasen. ...
Mike Donehey (Tenth Avenue North): Hey everybody, this is Mike from Tenth Avenue North. I am talking to Chasen Callahan from the new group, aptly named, "Chasen." How are you doing man?
Chasen Callahan: I'm doing awesome. How about yourself?
Mike: Fantastic! I like bands that name themselves themselves because it helps. It's not confusing. No one will ask you, "How did you get your name?" Have you gotten that before?
Chasen: Absolutely. I always get, "What's the religious background of your name? What's the spiritual meaning of your name?" I'm like, "Dude, I'm a Christian. I can't take any credit it for it. My mom and dad named me this." That's about as in depth as it gets.
Mike: You didn't change it. So you got that going for you.
Chasen: [Laughs] True.
Mike: You guys are coming out with your first release.
Chasen: Yes, That Was Then, This Is Now.
Mike: You're kind of cheating because you're not really a new artist.
Chasen: [Laughs] It is sort of like cheating, but not really. We just went down that road of independent label to a major label.
Mike: That's exciting. A lot of independent records don't get any love on the radio. You just signed to INO records.
Chasen: Yup. Awesome people over there.
Mike: We're out on the road with MercyMe—they're a really small INO band. [Laughs] Can you tell everyone about the record?
Chasen: "That was then, this is now" is a line in one of the songs called "Love in Your Name." It's where we've come from over the past couple years. I feel like it's a journey we've been on. I have a one-and-a-half year old back at home now. Our drummer is expecting. There are a lot of changes in the band. It seemed like we were really down in the valley last year, saying, "God, You gave us some radio success. What are You doing?" That Was Then, This Is Now is us, going through this change.
On the record you're going to find a lot of songs that are anthem-driven. There are a lot of things going on in the world today that are negative and focus on "there's no solution." But we all know as believers in Christ that He is the solution. He is the answer. So let's take that, embrace it. Almost like you're at a football game, let's stand up and cheer. You have those types of songs, and there are very personal songs on the record as well.
A buddy of mine passed away at the age of 22. He was very healthy. He snowboarded. We were very much active in that. And his heart gave way. God sent him home. When I got that phone call, I decided, How could I write a song that expresses his parents' [grief]. I was a good friend of his dad. His dad was very broken about this, asking God, "Why?"
The fun songs like "Crazy Beautiful" on our last record are on this record, too. It's a CD packed full of good songs for everybody, not just youth, but adults as well.
Mike: I like that you said the solution is a person. I think we lose sight of that a lot. Christianity is not about a cause. It's about a person.
Chasen: Exactly. That's so true.
Mike: Did you grow up in the church?
Chasen: I grew up in Greenville, South Carolina. Half of my family's from Oregon, the opposite side of the country, so I spent a lot of time back and forth. I grew up in church. My dad has always been in ministry since I was born. I'm actually still a worship pastor, going on 10 years. Since I was in high school I've been in a worship-leading role for a congregation.
Mike: Were you one of those kids who was actually good at leading worship or just the only one who could play guitar?
Chasen: [Laughs] I'll give you this, when I first started out I was a drummer. And somehow I ended up leading worship on a guitar. So I have no clue how that transition happened. I can't tell you if I was good or not.
When I was at church, kids would come up to me and ask, "Can you teach me how to play the guitar?" I'm like, "Dude, I'm still learning. I don't even know." [Laughs]
Mike: What is your favorite thing about Greenville, South Carolina?
Chasen: I love Nashville and the city, but when I was up there for several months I realized I'm not a city boy. Greenville is very city-like. It's beautiful. You go downtown and all the trees are lit up every single night. There's horse and carriage rides and there's a waterfall in downtown Greenville. I'm very much an outside kind of guy. I love waterfalls and hiking and all that stuff, so of course I love the scenery down there. But it's not a big city. It's a "mini city." It gives me just enough to say, "I like the city."
We just recently went to Chicago and I thought, What am I doing here? It's so fast paced. I realized I am not a city boy really quick.
Mike: Is there anything else you want to share about the songs on the upcoming record?
Chasen: I write wherever I'm at. The last that made it on the record is called "There Is Love." I wrote it in Nashville right before we went in for the last studio day. I have a two-week rule, where I don't go past two weeks without seeing my family. What was crazy, if [the travel problem] wasn't on my end, it was on her end. We just couldn't seem to get my wife up there. I hadn't seen my wife or my son in almost two months. I sat there saying, "God, how can I express my love to my family, to my son, how can I do that through music?" I just started playing and singing this song. It just keeps saying, "There's love for you/There's love for you in my arms."
On my way home from Nashville I started playing this song over and over. I broke down in tears because God was talking to me at that moment saying, "You thought you were writing to your family, but really what I was doing was writing this song through you. I just want to hold you up. I want to love you. I want to let you know I'm never going to leave you. When you feel like you're alone and you can't go on, I'm there. I'm your Dad, your Father."
I did write this for my wife and my son, but in everything I do I pray that God would show His glory, show who He is, and He did that right then. It was obvious to me it was a God thing. Wherever I'm at, like if I'm meeting someone and they are telling me a story, I feel like God is going to use that through my lyrics, my music.
Mike: What about the new single, "On and On"?
Chasen: That's probably one of my top favs on this record. That song is based around the media being so negative and the lack of hope we have if we just watch media and pick up magazines. In magazines, divorces are OK. Divorces are normal in Hollywood. Split families are normal. There is no solution, but we know that there is [hope], so let's talk about that.
I read the verse that says, "I will never leave you nor forsake you." The God of the universe says, "Chasen, I promise you I'm never gonna leave you. I didn't bring you this far in life just to throw you away." That's a promise He made to me, and I know His grace and His mercy and His love go on forever and ever.
We wrapped up the final lyrics and everything in three hours. It was just like, "Bam!" and God hit us with it. When we play it live, it is an anthem for sure.

Chasen's debut on INO Records is titled That Was Then, This Is Now and is scheduled to release in 2010. The record's first single, "On and On," is available on iTunes now. For more info, visit chasenmusic.com.

Our awesome pals over at Deep Silver just pulled the curtain back on a trio of vengeance fueled games centered on the moniker Ride to Hell. Ride to Hell: Retribution stars lone bad-ass Jake Conway, a man on a mission to decimate the vicious, depraved members of the Devil's Hand Motorcycle Club. Jake must bludgeon, blast and bleed out various degenerates in a gritty Grindhouse feeling world. Watch the trailer after the break to get a small idea of what you should expect. Retribution is expected to grace the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 on June 25th.
Gamers looking for a bit of small-sized fun can play Ride to Hell: Route 666 or Ride to Hell: Beatdown. Route 666 is an arcade game for XBLA or PSN that tasks players with recruiting fellow bikers on a quest to conquer the infamous highway. The game will also be out in June 2013. Not much is rightly known about Beatdown except that is a mobile "rock'n'roll brawler". Once we get more details, we'll hit you awesome geeks in the brain hole with the info.
After watching the trailer, I can't wait to see more about Retribution! It reminds me of a underlooked gem by the name of Wet, published by Bethesda. We're talking babes, guns, blood shed and intense shooting action! Retribution is on my "Must See More" radar now. Hit the break, peep the press release and watch that awesome trailer! Oh yeah and screens!

Fayston voters debate money for Bragg Farm purchase and school budget
Fayston voters vigorously debated whether or not the town should put $20,000 into its Conservation Reserve Fund and donate $10,000 of that to the Vermont Land Trust towards the purchase of the Bragg farm.
The Town Meeting article was ultimately decided in favor of setting aside the money and donating it as proposed.
Prior to the vote, Cory Stevenson from the town's Conservation Commission and Liza Walker from the Vermont Land Trust presented a slide program of the Bragg Farm and the Vermont Land Trust's and Fayston's role in the purchase of the farm.
A lengthy discussion followed with a number of the voters questioning the town's use of the $20,000 and last year's spending the entire $10,000 on one piece of land (the Bragg Farm). Some people said that, with the economic situation, price of gas, etc., that they did not want to pay more taxes. Tom Bisbee pointed out that $20,000 represented only .03 percent more in property taxes.
Many others spoke about the benefits of the purchase and future plans for the Bragg Farm and the preservation of this valuable property at a very reasonable cost for the town and The Valley.
Peter Forbes explained to the assembly that Knoll Farm on Bragg Hill was purchased and preserved with the Vermont Land Trust in the same way the Bragg Farm is being done now. Knoll Farm has been a successful example of preservation and conservation of open land and sustainable agriculture, he said.
Walker explained that authorizing the town's $10,000 will help ensure raising the rest of the purchase price for the Bragg Farm.
After the meeting, Walker said "We are grateful to have the support and partnership of Fayston residents in this exciting effort to conserve the Bragg Farm. The town's investment in the protection of this iconic property will help achieve community goals identified in the Town Plan and also ensure the farm can contribute to The Valley's economy and working landscape."
In the coming weeks, VLT will reach out to the broader community to raise the remaining funds needed to permanently conserve the Bragg Farm and enable its sale to Marisa Mauro of Ploughgate Creamery.
Prior to that vote, the voters re-elected all of their town officials including town clerk Patti Lewis, moderator David Jones, and select board member Robert Vasseur who was re-elected with appreciation for his 54 years on the board.
Lister Tony Egan agreed to accept one more term but noted that he was going to turn 80 and would like someone else to step forward when his three-year term expires.
Fayston's town budget for 2013 is $1,021,614, the first time Fayston's budget has gone above one million. Voters passed it and also passed a resolution in opposition to the tar sands.
After a break for lunch, voters re-elected Susan MacLean-Daley to the school board along with Heidi Spear. Sarah Stavraky was re-elected school district treasurer. After a discussion of where the money is going to come from, the voters appropriated $55,000 to the school's Maintenance Reserve Fund.
Voters got into a detailed discussion of the school budget, proposed at $1,708,836. After discussing the matter at great length, the school budget was passed by paper ballot as follows: 35 yes, 20 no and 1 spoiled for a total of 55 votes.
Ann Day, Fayston, and Lizzy Hewitt, Warren, contributed to this report.

New: Sushi Platter at Häagen-Dazs
>> Tuesday, April 20, 2010
Date: 14 April 2010, Wednesday
Venue: Häagen-Dazs, Solaris Mont Kiara
Occasion: Food tasting - new on the menu
Overall comment: So good that you'll clean the whole dish!
Halal: Yes
My mum & I were 'high' on ice-cream & it was a lovely time trying out the new Sushi Platter, seeing my mum being so satisfied with her ice-cream, meeting up with other foodies, as well as getting to know the friendly people from Häagen-Dazs & Pat-Lin! Oh goodness, that's a long list of lovely memories!
Regina & Joelle from Pat-Lin were really friendly, & so were Kenny & his colleague from Häagen-Dazs! Meeting the other foodies like Babe in the City - KL, Joe, Bangsar-Babe, Foodelicious, & the rest of the foodies whom I didn't get to say hi to, was just awesome!
You can read their reviews in the links I have provided.
Anyway, here's what we're introduced & served that evening :)
Their new menu looks like a coffee-table book! It doesn't look like a menu at all :D Lovely printing & colors that makes the ice cream looks extra special & extra mouth-watering
This was like our appetizer for the evening. Looks so cute, right? The new creation of ice cream cake topped with white chocolate shavings, whipped cream, & half a strawberry was smooth & different. It's been awhile since I had ice cream cake, so it's a very good alternative. It's a tad too sweet, but it's certainly delicious nonetheless :) When this cake is released into the market, you will be able to select your choice of ice cream flavour as well! (the 'cake' was melting away as I was busy taking photos of it!)
Check it out! Nice, right? Doesn't it look like the actual sushi?? I thought it was really amazing art! I didn't want to put them into my mouth cos they were just too pretty a sight to behold! I just wanted to say "hello!" to them!
I was told by the Brand Manager of Häagen-Dazs, Kenny Tan & Regina from Pat-Lin Communications that there will only be 5-6 sets for sale per outlet per day, so if you really want to get a taste of this, you better be quick or make a reservation for your dream ice cream!
Each 'sushi' is beautifully hand-crafted. It is suitable to be enjoyed alone after a long day at work or class, or even with your family/loved ones! I thought that it makes a lovely birthday treat as well :D
Mango & Passion Fruit Sushi, Strawberry Gunkan, Mango Sorbet Sushi and Kiwi Gunkan, and the platter of 'sushi' is accompanied by refreshing green tea ice cream ('wasabi').
So, what makes the 'sushi' look SO appealing & colorful?
Mango & Passion Fruit Sushi (Tamago/Egg Sushi) – Refreshing Mango & Passion Fruit ice cream placed on top of Macadamia Nut ice cream and delicately held together by a chocolate strip.
Strawberry Gunkan (Baby Octopus Sushi) – Rich Macadamia Nut ice cream encased in a rich chocolate wrapping topped with fresh strawberries; a juicy combination to tease your taste buds.
Kiwi Gunkan (Seaweed Sushi) – Classic Vanilla ice cream in a rich chocolate wrapping topped with fresh Kiwi fruit is a blend of tangy fruits and silky smooth ice cream.
Mango Sorbet Sushi (Salmon Sushi) – A simple but satisfying combination of Mango Sorbet on a creamy white base of Classic Vanilla ice cream
I LOVE the Mango Sorbet 'sushi' best!! It's tangy at the top & creamy sweet at the bottom :P
Thanks for the lovely chat & friendly hospitality!
By the time I took so many photos of it & posed with it, the ice cream was crying to be eaten! Hahaha...can you see my Salmon Sushi 'crying'? :D Thank goodness Häagen-Dazs' ice cream doesn't melt very quickly!
Ice cream with fruits makes a perfect marriage! Green apples as deco? The freshness of something sourish after all the "sweet sin" cleanses your guilt away :D
Yes, after all the chit-chatting & over-excitement, my poor 'wasabi' melted...but with a smile ;)
Ice cream & ice cream cakes are also sold at Häagen-Dazs. Best shared with loved ones!
I'm very thankful for the invite :) It really made my day, my week! I'm also SO thankful to be able to spend this 'lil treat with my mum too!! *yippee!! dances with joy*

Lest you think all the decapitation action is going down overseas, police in Houston discovered a "head and an arm" in a black trash bag in a yard on a street called Coke. Next to the bag was a chainsaw. (Yes, it's an honest-to-goodness Texas chainsaw massacre. Take a moment to get all your Leatherface ya-yas out.)
The head belonged to Marlon Thomas, 35, and it was his best friend of over 20 years, Noe Morin, 32, who has been arrested and charged with his murder.
Thomas' head and an arm were found in a black trash bag behind the home where Morin was staying with a family friend. A chainsaw was next to the bag, which was behind cinderblocks that supported the home. The rest of Thomas' body, with a partially severed arm, was found in a backyard next door that was full of overgrown weeds and trash.
The two men sat together on a stoop "every single day," according to one neighbor. Morin was known "to have a temper," and the two men were overheard arguing on Saturday night. At some point, shots rang out.
"Gun shots, we hear that every day so we didn't pay that much attention," [the neighbor] said.
As for something they don't hear every day, apparently there were no revving chainsaw sounds to raise red flags, either. But rumors of a body had begun to get around, and after several 9-1-1 calls were made, police came over to check things out.
[Local resident Brittney] Johnson said after police arrived, she saw one officer open a bag in a trash can...and then exclaim, "Oh my God, it's the head."
And to think, he saw it it on Coke Street. [KDFW, screengrab via KDFW]

Beat the Streak Report: Monday, May 17
A rather uneventful Sunday in Streakland, as the day's top two picks, Mark Teixeira and Jayson Werth, each hit safely to extend the streaks of 25.6 percent of streakers by them lonesome selves.
The day's biggest bearer of bad news was Albert Pujols, whose 0-for-3 performance judo chopped the streaks of 6.2 percent of our audience.
A little friendly tip to those jonesing to pick Prince Albert, if I may:
Pujols has gone hitless in two of his last four games and is "only" batting .310 on the year. Add in the fact that teams like to pitch around him, increasing his walks and decreasing his at-bat totals, and you might be looking at a guy who is better in real life than in Beat the Streak.
Time for Monday's picks.
Oh, hello there …
? Brian McCann: .464 AVG (13-for-28) lifetime vs. Mets starter Mike Pelfrey. Our Picks of the Day page says McCann is a career .364 hitter vs. Pelfrey for some reason. It's wrong. We're fixing it.
? Miguel Cabrera: .455 AVG (5-for-11) lifetime vs. White Sox starter Freddy Garcia
? Prince Fielder: .429 AVG (6-for-14) lifetime vs. Reds starter Johnny Cueto
? Luis Castillo: .533 AVG (8-for-15) since '05 vs. Braves starter Derek Lowe
? David Wright: .438 AVG (7-for-16) lifetime vs. Braves starter Derek Lowe
? Derek Jeter: .429 AVG (6-for-14) lifetime vs. Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka
Feeling kinda spicy?
? Ryan Church: .556 AVG (5-for-9) lifetime vs. Phillies starter Kyle Kendrick. Kyle Kendrick …yeah, why not?
You'll thank me later …
? Dustin Pedroia: .000 AVG (0-for-11) lifetime vs. Yankees starter Phil Hughes
? Ryan Braun: .143 AVG (2-for-14) lifetime vs. Reds starter Johnny Cueto
? Alex Rodriguez: .063 AVG (1-for-16) lifetime vs. Red Sox starter Daisuke Matsuzaka
? Jason Bartlett: .000 AVG (0-for-15) lifetime vs. Indians starter Fausto Carmona
Leaderboard time!
Tons of new blood atop our leaderboard ,as "lukehartzheim" is now master of the year universe with a 26-game streak and is officially 45.6 percent on his way to buying a few hundred thousand of these. Just like he always dreamed.
Top MLB streakers
? Russell Martin: 11 games
? Jason Bay: 10 games
? Carlos Gonzalez: 10 games
? Cristian Guzman: 10 games
? Jeff Mathis: 10 games (DL)
? Orlando Cabrera: 9 games
57 Comments
rather uneventful, my *&^. I was listening to the Phillies/Brewers to see if the leader ("luke") would go down for picking Ryan Braun. Braun didn't get a hit until the 8th – an infield hit at that, off the glove of Howard, nearly scored an error.
kinda exciting. 🙂
Well I will say that the blog guy is right on about Pujols and should help everybody out. On to today and I have Jeter as he hits great at home and it should continue tonight against Dice-K but I might change to McCann or Cabrera but I doubt it.
Cloudy right now but it shouldn't affect the games this week in the BX. Will update if it does start raining or not.
"Uneventful" except that Miguel Cabrera went 0-3 and killed my 8-game streak.
Oh well, starting a new streak today with none other than….Miguel Cabrera…
vinny – weather says showers thru tomorrow – how are the Bronx skies looking???? 🙂 Good luck everyone!
I wouldnt touch Derek Jeter with a 10 foot clown pole! Maybe he'll get a hit off a Sox relief pitcher.. because hes not getting one off Daisuke if he pitches anything like he did against the Blue Jays.
PS Is my name in the bloggers group? I joined yesterday but it gave me a some errors. Thanks
Yes darwri your name is in the Bloggers group. That is why I'm scared with picking Jeter. Which Dice-K will show up tonight?
Well Rip I look at the last 7 days, the hitters average at home vs road, at night vs day and lefties vs righties and than I make a pick.
Surprised to see yesterday classified as 'uneventful'. 7 of the 14 players that played did not get a hit. Usually, the top 15 picks selected by the contestants are always 50% – in fact, there's only one day this year that has not been the case (May 7).
Lucked out extending my streak to 8, when Elvis got one pinch-hitting chance and made good (while losing streaks are never fun, losing them on 0-for-1 pinch hitting appearances almost seem unfair). Gonna roll with him again today – he should be back in his leadoff spot.
How much stock do you guys put into a player's career average against a pitcher? A handful of times I've picked a guy with ridiculous numbers against a pitcher, hot with the bat, good splits, & he still didn't come through with a hit.
Thanks Vinny. Derek Jeter is one of the games best, so picking him against anyone is still a decent bet. Just I'd avoid this one..
I'm still thinking about Jeter since he is hitting great at home but Dice-K is very unpredictable.
instead of podsednik im taking callaspo tonight. he hasnt gone hitless in consecutive games all year and if playing great in night games. also hes only gone hitless 1 time in a night game all year or 3 times if you count dome games but im not cause the lighting is different
rip i dont put to much stock in the players career success against a pitcher but i do look at that a bit. i usually check to see how hot a player is then how the player hits in night/day games and home/away. then i look at the opposing pitchers recent games and see how hes doing. if i think the player can get a hit i take him if not i look for a different player
I need some help….way to many guys to choose from today. Here are my thoughts on waht I have it narrowed down to……
M. Cabrera – hitless yesterday, good numbers vs. garcia.
M. Ordonez – great career #'s vs garcia, large sample size
H. Ramirez – no one on arz can pitch, but was 0fer yesterday and 0-6 lifetime vs jackson
Utley, Polanco, Victorino…morton pitching better as of late apparently.
At the start of the day i had utley cuz he was hitless yesterday, but now im torn between one of the two tigers or someone on fla. Please someone give me some info to help me peg one of these guys as 'the play.' thanks and g.l.
longoria, ramirez-oid, guerrero
prado, zimmerman
stay away from the tigers. it may get rained out or there will at least be some rain during the game. not a great day for hitters in detroit. phillies players would be some good picks. morton has been better lately but that was against lesser offenses than the phillies
stay away from the tigers. it may get rained out or there will at least be some rain during the game. not a great day for hitters in detroit. phillies players would be some good picks. morton has been better lately but that was against lesser offenses than the phillies
Thanks Schenk. Ive only ever posted twice on here and both times youve given me some valuable information. Going to have to go with polanco. Dont like the righty vs righty matchup but its better than victorino's numbers vs. right handers and I dunno why but i just cant stick with my original pick of utley. Hopefully old man polanco can get it done tonight. GL
you can always take werth again tonight if polanco doesnt make you feel great. they both hit well for avg and hardly ever look to get walked so you can expect at least 4 at bats to get the hit in instead of 3 at bats and a wasted at bat from a walk
Last minute change……opted to go with Prado rather than Miguel Cabrera….hopefully being lead-off will give him that one extra AB to get a hit…Hope he stays hot….Looking forward to being a lot richer two months from now………Drinks will be on me boys…….
nothing but gray skies in arlington.(Texas-LA Angels)
some lightning, but no rain as of yet though there are strong storms in the area
Chase Utley is out of the lineup against the Pirates tonight…I went with Travis Snider early on only to learn he was placed on the DL…so I went down the bench a little and picked Adam Lind against Kevin Slowey.
Picked Albert Pujols and the Yankees.
I'm sticking it out with Jeter and about to watch the game so we will see what happens.
tigers/whitesox postponed. switch your pick if your player is on those teams
Went with aviles, over 500 avg against righties so far this year.
holy cow dudehammer made no selection with a 22 game streak on the line, thats border line insane. Once again leaderboard full with Phillies. Lets go Billy Butler for me.
13% of the field don't even lose their streak for tonight as that is how many people chose Cabrera. They live to see another day.
Sorry about the late post!
I read all the posts above me and it really is great to see all the posts of bloggers taking who and why. This is what the blog should be about 🙂
Got on too late to revist my pick – Jayson Werth.
TB in Survivor and Jayson Werth in HR BTS.
Weather is cold and nasty in Chicago. Wrigley Field is a pitchers paradise today. HR's will be few if any. Not a hitters kind of day. Ditto this weather for Tuesday in Chicago and Wrigley Field. Tuesday will also be a pitchers kind of day,
Post #1 of the day – emily – you are a tough official scorer!
That "rocket" off the bat of Ryan Braun last night in Milwaukee was a hit all the way. Even a great fielding 1B like Derrek Lee of Cubs would not have made that play.
sweeet Butler extends my streak to 12 with 1st inning RBI single. Im out see you guys later
i was able to change my pick from Cabrera to Jeter just minutes before the deadline
Wow. Everyone thinks Phils will kill Morton. I don't recall him being that bad last year. I wonder if Utley will need to pinch hit tonight? It was reported more than 2 hours ago that he wasn't going to be in the lineup. Only reason I didn't pick Philly was because there are too many candidates who can get hit. One or two choices will bound to be a 0-fer.
I have a 2 game streak thanks to Jeter. Sticking it out with my picks every day now.
Like I said earlier today. Dice-K is very inconsistent and he's getting hit hard. First 4 Yanks have all gotten on and 3 of them are hits.
I picked Albert Pujols and the Yankees.
Dice-K got rocked in the first inning. Yanks are up 5-0 and they have 5 hits already. Jeter started it off and they will destroy him tonight. I have The Reds in Survivor and A-Gonzalez in HR BTS.
Albert Pujols singles in 1st inning.
9 game hit streak now.
Only 48 more hit's in a row now till I win that $ 3 million.
my streak moves up to 12. ill post later my top picks for tomorrow
Josephcarlmoratto – Gutsy to take Pujols today or any day for that matter. Do not fall for him too often because he will doom you. IDo you know anything about fishing? t This is how it goes: The line is tossed in the water with a shiny lure attached by the angler (Pujols who is say 5 – 10 lifetime v. the starter of that day) the fish (you) see the lure and bites = Albert takes on 0-fer and as a fish you are the main course at the shore lunch that day. Beware of the MVP list = do not ever take Maurer/Votto/Pujols.
Werth HR's and my two streaks advance. Some days you get lucky.
Good stuff Drag and the blog guy even said not to take Pujols so I don't think I ever will take Pujols.
well everyone and their mother got a hit tonight, which means Ichiro is doomed to 0-fer. anyway glad i changed from mccutchen to billy butler tonight.
I have Werth for tomorrow to extend my streak to 3 hopefully as he is hitting .500 against Duke in his career. Victorino in HR BTS as wind will be blowing out in Philly tomorrow and I have the Rays in Survivor tomorrow.
schenk105 – Take a look at Longoria's stats on the player option at the MLB home page. Not the best stats recently.
He is hitting .200 over past 10 games.
How bout that Yankee game !!!
How bout that Yankee game !!!
anyone debating on taking a player from tomorrows tigers/whitesox game. it definitely will not be a doubleheader so you can safely pick a player knowing he wont have to come through in 2 games. at the moment my pick for tomorrow is evan longoria but thats likely to change
I missed the email that went out about the Phillies having an extended batting practice tonight from 6pm to 9pm eastern time v. the Pirates. I'm locked in on Vicroriano for Tuesday for the moment and also like Werth – but I've taken Werth two days in a row. Vinny we are on the same wave length here – I hope that is a good sign. Duke is very hittable and Phils are at home too. It could be another big day for the Phils. Any thoughts from our Philly bloggers?
We are on the same wave length as far as who? Victorino in HR BTS or Werth in BTS?
Well all of my picks came through tonight. A-Gonzalez hit a HR in his first AB to put me up to 1 in HR BTS and the Reds beat the Brewers and I'm up to 2 in Survivor right now and Jeter came through to put me up to 2 in BTS.
I forgot to mention that the wind is blowing out to Right Field in San Diego which is why I felt that Adrian would go deep tonight.
i watch alot of phillies games. i think tomorrow will be another good day for phillies hitters. but i think howard would be the one guy to stay away from he hasnt hit duke well and i belive its because he doesnt stay back on the frequent off speed that duke throws. polanco ruiz and werth are probably the safest choices and maybe victorino.
REMEMBER picks lock at 1230 Eastern.
did anyone see this stat on Jose Guillen against Kevin Millwood 14-for-26 a .538 average and this isnt one of the top three picks of the day.
Tomorrow i have roy halladay and the philles in survivor.
my hitter as of now, is magglio ordonez who is 10-for-27 .370 against freddy garcia. this could change depending on the weather
So who's the best on this blog for the Survivor game? Your suggestions on who will win will help me greatly living in Las Vegas lol…I've bet on football & basketball, but surprisingly just started betting on baseball even though it's the sport I'm by far most confident in.
how come I lost my streak when the Tigers were rained out last night?

Do you see delicate woodland flowers, rare lady's slippers and ferns? They're just a small part of the story.
The owners of Edge of the Woods Native Plant Nursery want to talk native plants. As this specialty shop enters its third year, owners Sue Tantsits and Louise Schaefer list more than 350 species for sale, all nursery propagated. Both Tantsits and Schaefer have years of experience growing and tending native plants as well as outgoing natures. They long to meet people who share their interests.
Tantsits has always loved the outdoors. She earned a degree in horticulture at Temple University and in education at Bloomsburg University, then worked at a native plant nursery at a local preserve where she met Schaefer and discovered a kindred soul who shares her mission to preserve and restore native plants to the countryside.
Growing up in the country, Schaefer loved watching the plants grow and change with the seasons. She earned a degree in biology at Lehigh University, worked, raised her family and then re-entered the conservation field. She recently completed her certification as a Pennsylvania Certified Horticulturist.
I ran into Tantsits and Schaefer at the Lehigh Valley Flower Show last month. They had a beautiful display that illustrated both a shade and sun garden composed entirely of native plants. I picked up their diagram and plant list, had a good chat and set up a visit for a few weeks later.
It was a pleasant drive to the nursery on Claussville Road north of Fogelsville behind Tantsits' home. When we arrived on a sunny but cold day, I was surprised at the size of the display area and thrilled to duck into the warm greenhouse. The nursery wasn't open for the season but the greenhouse was filled with the promise of spring. I'll be sure to return to see their entire stock. They reopened for the season on April 1.
Many native flowers are already well-known to gardeners. Coneflowers, asters, bee balm, winterberry, fringe trees, phlox, ferns, maples and oaks are just some of the familiar. When I asked about native ferns, Tantsits and Schaefer told me that there are at least 35 varieties. They regularly offer 15. Some are for shade, some for sun or moist spots, others for dry ones -- a fern for any situation.
Some gardeners think that native means no work, but native gardens can be as formal or as casual as any other garden. While native species are better adapted to local conditions, the basic garden principles still apply. If you put the right plant in the right place, any garden will be healthier and easier to maintain. Native plants can decrease your work because they need less frequent watering after they are established, require less fertilizer and offer greater resistance to disease and insects.
Tantsits and Schaefer gladly discuss plant selection and offer advice during store hours but recommend a private consultation if you would like detailed information specific to your garden.
The nursery offers home consultations, design services and installation of purchased plants for a fee. It also publishes a newsletter available by mail or e-mail.
For hours, directions and other information, clip out "The Details" box accompanying this article.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is again delaying regulations already more than two years overdue on whether new cars and trucks must come equipped with rearview cameras to protect against drivers backing over people in blind spots behind their vehicles.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Thursday in letters to three members of Congress that more research is needed. He set a new deadline of January 2015 for the regulations.
An average of 228 people are killed and 17,000 injured each year because of back-over accidents. Many of the accidents occur in driveways and parking lots. Nearly half the deaths involve children under age 10. The elderly also frequently are victims.
The emotional toll of the accidents is especially high since many of the drivers are parents or family members of those killed and injured.
Congress passed a law in 2008 requiring the government to issue final regulations aiming at protecting against back-over accidents by Feb. 28, 2011, but the regulations have been delayed repeatedly. The law didn't require that cars and trucks come equipped with cameras in the rear of the vehicle that display images on a dashboard screen provided another solution could be found.
After studying the issue, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said cameras were the best solution and recommended more than two years ago that they be required on all new cars and trucks. The safety administration has estimated that making rear cameras standard on every car would add $58 to $88 to the price of vehicles already equipped with dashboard screens and $159 to $203 for those without them.
The auto industry has opposed requiring cameras on all vehicles as too expensive, saying it would cost the industry $2.7 billion annually. Many vehicles already come with the cameras as standard or optional equipment.
"I am deeply disappointed by the administration's foot-dragging over a rule that could help save the lives of hundreds of young children and prevent thousands of heartbreaking injuries," said Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., chairman of the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee.
"The fact is simple — we know installing rear cameras in cars will prevent injury and death," he said. "The administration needs to move forward with this common-sense safety measure because children's lives are in jeopardy."

All About Vestments: "The Opinionated Tailor" Speaks to St. Juliana Society
15 April 2013 • On–Campus • Virginia Nieuwsma
Meetings of the St. Juliana Society for St. Vladimir's future clergy wives are often punctuated by laughter and animated conversation, and Monday evening's gathering at the residence of Fr. Chad and Mat. Thekla Hatfield was no exception. Lively guest Khouria Krista West, host of "The Opinionated Tailor" podcast, offered a mini-seminar on both the care, and the spiritual symbolism, of clergy garments.
Krista has worked as an ecclesiastical tailor for over fifteen years and has created nearly 1000 sets of vestments through her Portland-based business. Her interest in the history and traditions of Eastern Orthodox liturgical vesture led her to Greece in 2004 to participate in a museum conservation course hosted by the Greek Ministry of Culture, and since then she has continued to research multiple aspects of this field, including natural dyestuffs and early Byzantine textile history.
"I'm here to tell you eleven things about vestments," announced Kh. Krista. "It was originally a nice, tidy list of ten, but then there was one I just had to add, so eleven it is!" Khouria noted that as a fellow clergy wife (her husband Fr. Alban is rector of St. George Antiochian Church in Portland, OR), she understood that there were some very practical issues related to vestments and as such, she offered this list:
- Know what your husband's vestment needs are and be willing to share them with people in the parish.
- Flowers aren't "girly" so get used to them!
- Know the "hierarchy of vestments" and which are most important, so if the budget is limited, you can decide where it's appropriate to spend the most money.
- Get to be friends with a very good dry cleaner.
- Learn the right names of your husband's vestments.
- Take vestments seriously; your children shouldn't play with them.
- Monochromatic fabric isn't common in the Orthodox tradition—gold will always be shot through with red, for instance.
- Vestments don't have a Jewish origin, they came from Roman civil dress and were subsequently standardized in the Byzantine era.
- Don't let your husband throw his vestments in the back of the car and make sure he does grubby work in his spare grubby cassock.
- Don't try to make vestments yourself! It is tricky business and is even difficult for professionals who've been highly trained.
- Enjoy vestments and notice them.
Khouria Krista ended her talk with a quote from St. John of Damascus, who said that sight is the "queen of the senses." In Orthodoxy, she concluded, there is a richness that can be a source of joy and celebration throughout our lives, and in this, vestments play an important part.

Sound Off for Feb. 2, 2013
Last week in a rebuttal to one of my blogs about the great day in America because of Obama's Inauguration, the Republican who wrote the rebuttal mentioned that they were a patriot.
As if to imply that anyone who voted for Obama was not a patriot.
The Republican Party seems to think that it has a monopoly on patriotism!
Well, it does not.
I am a veteran and resent any reference in any publication that tries to imply that I am not a patriot, because I did not vote for a loser.
They keep trying to introduce this card and play to the veterans to get votes.
They did this during the Bush administration and they should just forget it because as I stated they have no claim.
As an Independent voter I believe that voting is my duty as a patriotic American. I am not sure what their call to duty is.
I voted for Obama because he was the best man for the job.
Do we need an Independent party? Yes, more than ever.
These people are so narrow minded that they have to resort to calling someone a non-patriot rather than admit, that their choice for president was not the best person for the job.
What's wrong with Torrington: Wouldn't it be nice if the access road from the rear of the Walmart Plaza to the Target Plaza to lessen the traffic on upper East Main Street was actually done?
Wouldn't it be nice if the businesses on Main/East Main streets all have a cohesive scheme to the outside of their buildings?
Wouldn't it be nice that the Main Street, East Main Street and Water Street trees be trimmed on a yearly basis so that they would have a pleasing shape?
Wouldn't it be nice to have a downtown area, a beautiful place for people to come here to shop and eat?
Wouldn't it be nice if during the spring/summer/fall our land owners would take care of sweeping sidewalks and removing weeds on these sidewalks and gutter areas in order to make Torrington have a much better curb appeal?
Wouldn't it be nice to have the properties on all-access roads to and through Torrington be maintained so Torrington would not look shabby?
Wouldn't it be nice if our Post Office would make it's property look nicer by repairing the wood fence, sweep the parking lot, fertilize the grassy area, trim all shrubbery and plant flowers to really enhance the area?
Wouldn't it be nice if Torrington had some sort of regulation whereby vacant properties must be maintained?
Wouldn't it be nice to actually have a courthouse built?
Wouldn't it be nice to have Torrington look beautiful and cared for in order to get the nickname "ghetto of Litchfield County" removed from out of town realty agencies?
Talk about spending someone else's money. Your liar-in-chief flew over to Las Vegas to deliver a 20-minute speech to college kids using Air Force One costing $1.8 million. He flew back after his speech. How wasteful. Well, it wasn't on his dime, it was ours. And don't tell me President Bush would have done the same.
Many working people in Connecticut vote Republican and they don't like labor unions. I ask all of you to go on the State of Connecticut Labor Law website and see if you don't need unions.

Recipe of the Week
For the shortcake biscuits
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons double-acting baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
1/4 pound sharp Cheddar, grated coarse (about 1 1/2 cups)
four 2-inch pickled jalapeño chilies, seeded and minced (wear rubber gloves)
1 cup sour cream
For the chili con carne
2 large onions, chopped (about 3 cups)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 carrots, sliced thin
2-3 lbs boneless beef chuck, ground coarse or ground sirloin
1/4 cup chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon crumbled dried oregano
1 tablespoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
two 8-ounce cans tomato sauce
1 can beef broth
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
a 19-ounce can kidney beans, rinsed and drained (or black beans)
1 green or red bell peppers, chopped
Make the shortcake biscuits
Into a bowl sift together the flour, the baking powder, the baking soda, and the salt, add the butter, and blend the mixture until it resembles coarse meal. Stir in the Cheddar and the chilies, add the sour cream, and stir the mixture until it just forms a soft but not sticky dough. Knead the dough gently 6 times on a lightly floured surface, roll or pat it out 1/2 inch thick, and with a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter cut out 6 rounds. Bake the rounds on an ungreased baking sheet in the middle of a preheated 425F. oven for 15 to 17 minutes, or until they are golden.
In a kettle cook the onions in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are softened, add the garlic and the carrots, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the chuck and cook it over moderate heat, stirring and breaking up any lumps, for 10 minutes, or until it is no longer pink. Add the chili powder, the cumin, the paprika, the oregano, and the red pepper flakes and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce, the broth, and the vinegar, bring the mixture to a boil, and simmer it, covered, stirring occasionally, for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. Add the kidney beans, the bell peppers, and salt and black pepper to taste and simmer the mixture, uncovered, for 15 minutes, or until the bell peppers are tender.
Arrange a biscuit, heated and split, on each of the 6 dinner plates, spoon the chili con carne over the bottom half, and cover it with the top half of the biscuit.

|Dave Miller, Ph.D.
Luke, the author of the New Testament books of Luke and Acts, by profession, was a physician. His writings manifest an intimate acquaintance with the technical language of the Greek medical schools of Asia Minor. For example, of the four gospel writers, only Dr. Luke referred to Jesus' ordeal as "agony" (agonia). It is because of this agony over things to come that we learn during His prayer "his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground" (Luke 22:44). Only Luke referred to Jesus' sweat (idros), a much used term in medical language, and only Luke referred to Jesus' sweat as consisting of great drops of blood (thromboi haimatos)—a medical condition alluded to by both Aristotle and Theophrastus (Hobart, 1882, pp. 80-84). The Greek term thromboi (from which we get thrombus, thrombin, et al.) refers to clots of blood (Nicoll, n.d., 1:631; Vincent, 1887, 1:425). Bible scholar Richard Lenski commented on the use of this term: "'As clots,' thromboi, means that the blood mingled with the sweat and thickened the globules so that they fell to the ground in little clots and did not merely stain the skin" (1961, p. 1077).
The Greek word hosei ("as it were") refers to condition, not comparison, as Greek scholar Henry Alford observed:
The intention of the Evangelist seems clearly to be, to convey the idea that the sweat was (not fell like, but was like drops of blood;—i.e., coloured with blood,—for so I understand the hosei, as just distinguishing the drops highly coloured with blood, from pure blood.... To suppose that it only fell like drops of blood (why not drops of any thing else? And drops of blood from what, and where?) is to nullify the force of the sentence, and make the insertion of haimatos not only superfluous but absurd (1874, 1:648, italics in orig.; cf. Robertson, 1934, p. 1140).We conclude that the terminology used by the gospel writer to refer to the severe mental distress experienced by Jesus was intended to be taken literally, i.e., that the sweat of Jesus became bloody (cf. Robertson, 1930, 2:272).
A thorough search of the medical literature demonstrates that such a condition, while admittedly rare, can and has occurred. Commonly referred to as hematidrosis or hemohidrosis ("Hematidrosis," 2002; Allen, 1967, pp. 745-747: Miller and Kaene, 1972, p. 419), this condition results in the excretion of blood or blood pigment in the sweat. Under conditions of great emotional stress, tiny capillaries in the sweat glands can rupture (Lumpkin, 1978), thus mixing blood with perspiration. This condition has been reported in extreme instances of stress (see Sutton, 1956, pp. 1393-1394). During the waning years of the twentieth century, 76 cases of hematidrosis were studied and classified into categories according to causative factors (Holoubek and Holoubek, 1996). Acute fear and intense mental contemplation were found to be the most frequent inciting causes. While the extent of blood loss generally is minimal, hematidrosis also results in the skin becoming extremely tender and fragile (Barbet, 1953, pp. 74-75; Lumpkin, 1978), which would have made Christ's pending physical insults even more painful.
From these factors, it is evident that even before Jesus endured the torture of the cross, He suffered far beyond what most of us will ever suffer. His penetrating awareness of the heinous nature of sin, its destructive and deadly effects, the sorrow and heartache that it inflicts, and the extreme measure necessary to deal with it, make the passion of Christ beyond comprehension.

Napa residents jolted out of bed early Sunday by the worst earthquake to hit the Bay Area in decades described the terror, chaos and disorientation they felt in the moments the temblor struck, and the mix of overwhelming emotion and hope they felt as they took in the scope of the damage.
"It was a sick feeling. The ground was just rolling," lawyer Jeff Hammond told NBC Bay Area on the streets of hard-hit downtown Napa Sunday morning. "This is obviously the worst we've ever seen here."
Hammond, who had been set to appear in court downtown Monday, teared up as he stared at the stately courthouse, built in the 1870s. A huge chunk of its edifice had completely crumbled away. Now, Hammond said, he wasn't sure if the court would even be open Monday.
"It's hard to see," he said. "It just hit me. It just hit me."
Christian Ray, 18, had only ever felt a minor temblor before this morning, when he and his mother were violently roused from their beds in their Napa home. He described the terror and chaos of the moments the quake hit, as he struggled to get out of bed to reach his mom.
"I just heard shaking, and I got really scared," he said. "I heard my mom screaming my name, and I thought, 'What's going on?' I thought something terrible was going on.
"My dresser fell on me and cut up my legs, and then I saw my mom come into my room. She fell, tripped over all my stuff," he said. "Our room is just terrible. It's destroyed, and everything is on the floor, flipped over. It's pretty amazing."
Sunday's was the first earthquake that Dandridge Marsh, 37, a Georgia native who moved to California six years ago, had ever felt.
"We were just sleeping, and all of a sudden there was enormous amount of noise, and our bed started bouncing from side to side," said Marsh, who works in the wine retail business and lives in Napa with his wife. "You can hear things falling down."
Marsh said the quake knocked out power immediately, and he made his way, barefoot, to his garage for a flashlight. Broken glass was strewn everywhere, but he wasn't hurt.
"It was pretty wild, coming out and seeing all the cabinets, piano and refrigerator moved a foot over," he said. "The car was parked in the middle of the garage and is now resting against the garage door."
Napa resident Karen Schuppert, who was at the World Series game during the 1989 earthquake, said she felt "a lot of rattling" Sunday, compared with the rolling feel of Loma Prieta 25 years ago.
She and her husband got a rude awakening Sunday morning when a mirror fell from their bedroom door and crashed down onto them in bed. Neither of them was hurt, but their home took the brunt of the temblor.
"In every single room, we have so many cracks," she said. "Hopefully they're just superficial and cosmetic, because we have lots of cracks all over the walls."
Many of the Napa couple's art, pottery and antiques were ruined, but some of their belongings survived entirely unscathed. In the spare bedroom where Schuppert stores inventory for her shoe importing business, Napa Sole, all of the shoes remained safely in their boxes, she said.
"It's just wild what ended up moving," Schuppert said.

Two and a Half Men's Angus T. Jones has at least one person in his corner — and it's someone who's no stranger to stirring up controversy on the show. Jones' former co-star, Charlie Sheen, who called the CBS sitcom "cursed" this week, says the 19-year-old is welcome to guest-star on his new FX show Anger Management.
"My former nephew is welcome at the Goodson Anger Management home anytime," Sheen told ABC News.

Jones caused a stir earlier this week when a video surfaced of him giving a religious testimonial, in which he referred to Two and a Half Men as "filth" and pleaded with viewers to stop watching it. He later issued an apology to the show's cast and crew, and called his job an "extraordinary opportunity."
"It is radically clear to me that the show is cursed," Sheen — who had his own share of issues with the show and creator Chuck Lorre before being fired and replaced by Ashton Kutcher in 2011 — told People in response to Jones' video.
Warner Bros. Television, which produces Men, has not commented on Jones' employment status. The sitcom has two episodes to shoot before going on holiday hiatus, but Jones does not appear in either — a coincidence as both were written long before his video was posted.
Would you like to see Sheen and Jones reunite on television?
