oblivion game of the year edition skyrim v
"It was, like, completely blue sky. [Executive director] Todd [Howard] said, 'Sit down, and draw a bunch of cool weird s***, and we'll look at it and decide what's worthwhile, and what's really stupid, and we'll take it from there. We want bad-assery. Vikings versus Conan, classic Frank Frazetta, and it's going to be set in Skyrim, and this is a place that's going to be a lot more brutal and gritty: draw a bunch of stuff." Few games do atmosphere like The Elder Scrolls. Sure, you come for the elf bothering and swinging axes into orc's faces but you stay because the place feels so real - another world to live another life in.
Unfortunately, much of this initial concept art ended up on the cutting room floor, with Adamowicz estimating that "probably about 90% of that [early work] didn't get used." Skyrim's lead artist Matt Carofano uses the podcast to explain how Skyrim's visual style will be very different to that of other Elder Scrolls titles:

- Iron-Fortified Rice Is As Efficacious As Supplemental Iron Drops in Infants and Young Children
Improving iron status among infants and young children is of continued concern in low- to middle-income countries. This article, published in The Journal of Nutrition, reports on a double-blind, randomized trial among mildly anemic children in Brazil that compared use of rice fortified with micronized ferric pyrophosphate using the Ultra Rice technology with identical nonfortified rice. The study found that, in populations where young children are routinely fed approximately 100 grams of cooked rice daily, fortifying rice with iron may improve iron status at least as well as providing free iron drops.

Report: Yankees to drop StubHub in favor of TicketMasterBy
Via Steven Marcus: The Yankees will opt-out of MLB's secondary ticket market agreement with StubHub and instead sign a new deal with TicketMaster. "Less fees, more fan-friendly," said a source to Marcus about the arrangement, which is only partially true. TicketMaster will be more fan-friendly to season ticket owners because they'll be able to get face value for their tickets through TicketExchange.
The Yankees haven't announced anything yet, but a StubHub spokesperson confirmed they have opted out of the deal along with the Angels and Cubs. MLB's new five-year agreement with StubHub was announced today. Team executives have openly complained about StubHub recently, claiming it artificially deflated the value of tickets and is unfair to season ticket holders. Team president Randy Levine even blamed the empty Stadium in the postseason on StubHub, which was pretty silly. I haven't seen any firm details on the Ticketmaster deal yet so I don't know how that will impact the secondary market, but info will trickle out eventually.
71 Comments»
Just stubhub? What about other resellers like vividseats etc?
Tough to mention something Randy Levine says without adding "pretty silly" or worse.
…of course, Levine has enabled to the Steinbrenners to make a billion or two more off the Yankees, which is why he is the president.
The comment, though, is silly. TicketMaster and "fan friendly" don't go together. What it means is it's "Yankee and Steinbrenner" friendly. They believe they'll make more money off of this deal than StubHub.
this is what happens when stub hub actually serves a positive purpose – selling Yankee tickets routinely for cheaper than face. That's when the ownership gets loud and says there helping the fans by stopping this outrage.
I can't speak for what I think will happen here, as I have no clue. It'll just be annoying to get used to a new way to find tickets.
Back to the old school way of waiting till the 3rd inning and finding a desperate scalper outside the stadium
I supported myself through high school by working for ticket brokers, camping out for tickets for concerts I had no intention of going to. Those were the days. Met girls and got a black eye from a random gang once.
Just tell me I can tickets at a decent price next season, don't make go through a million hoops to get them, and I'll be fine.
Interested in seeing how it does affect prices, though.
Exactly. The devil is in the details here. I don't care if StubHub or TicketMaster is the reseller. How easy is it. If the Yankees think they'll increase attendance by going back to 1975, or 2005 for that matter, then they're in for a shock.
The industry is going to be moving more toward dynamic pricing that adjusts per game. It'll take a while, but that's the trend. Not sure what the Yankees have planned here, but hopefully they don't shoot themselves in the foot because they don't like the newfangled way of the Internet.
StubHub was able to hurt TicketMaster by doing things better. In the end, better will almost always win, no matter how many Luddites resist.
yes, agreed.
Most listing for Yankees tickets will still be on StubHub. Nobody uses TicketsNow because it is an awful service.
Cutting payroll's not enough for additional ownership profits, I see.
What's funny is that the Yankees used stub hub as a resource when they decided to increase ticket prices a few years ago. They said they knew they could raise prices because they saw what people were willing to spend on stub hub. Now that tickets aren't selling at the prices that they want them to sell at, stub hub is suddenly evil.
Also true!
The Yankees should lower ticket prices and stop blaming stub hub
Dang rights, Bill….
I'm not so sure this is going to help season ticket holders. I would think they're gonna have to eat more of their tickets if they can't sell them for less than face value.
60-70% of face value is better than nothing.
I LOL when ownership says StubHub "artificially deflates" ticket prices. How? People are trying to resell their tickets; they find there is not sufficient demand at face value, so they have to lower the price if they want to sell it. The difference between StubHub reselling and direct sales from the organization is that the former has to actually respond to demand. Which means that direct sales from the organization actually "artificially inflate" ticket prices.
When the "laws of supply and demand" serve people like the Steinbrenners, they are holy and good. When they do not, they are evil and artificial and must be worked around. And, as usual, the people – the fans – bear the losses (higher ticket prices, a worse team because of the manufactured budget crisis). Meanwhile the elites – the Steinbrenners – reap even greater profits than before.
Maybe the problem is the stadium…they should build another new one. Since the Steinbrenners are so poor that they can't even afford to sign Eric Chavez or field a complete team, the state of New York and the city will need to chip in a lot of the funding. But that's fine, they can just raise sales tax again.
Right on cue.
Jock sniffing shills on this site always hate on your comments, but this post is the god damn truth.
"The difference between StubHub reselling and direct sales from the organization is that the former has to actually respond to demand."-
How can the Yankees sell tix irrespective of demand? If that's the case, why don't the Yankees sell every ticket for a billion dollars each?
If a baseball team says they're doing something fan-friendly, there's almost no chance it won't completely screw over the fans. The only Yankee games I go to are ones where I get tickets for less than face value from StubHub. If that's no longer an option, I'll stop going to the games, and the Yankees can enjoy their empty seats.
The Yankees have said over the past few years that they want to set a floor on how low prices can be sold online for. Stubhub will still be able to sell tickets at any price but possible not deliver them electronically. Hmmm…
MLB has had a deal with Stubhub where when someone sells you a ticket, their ticket barcode is automatically voided and they re-issue on to you. Essentially there is a very small chance of anything going wrong with your ticket because it is as if you bought it from the primary source in the first place.
This is in contrast to most other non-MLB (though now the Yankees also) listings on Stubhub where if you select electronic shipment you will get a PDF file from the seller. Stubhub is still very safe in this manner but MLB tickets in the past have been unique on there.
I would imagine you could still have electronic delivery but they would not be new tickets issued in your name. Small but still significant difference. The free market will be tough for even the Yankees to stop. There is a reason the price gets so low on Stubhub for a Tuesday night game in April against the Twins.
TicketMaster has the same process. When I transfer any of my tickets to friends currently through TicketMaster, it voids my paper ticket. Same process, just free to me as a ST holder.
Screw the fans and Stub Hub, a free market enabler. This is all kinds of bad.
I doubt this will impact us in any meaningful way. I don't care.
this sucks i get all my yankee tickets on stubhub
Me too.
The problem for the Yankees are the brokers driving down prices selling tickets they don't own yet.
Does it not simply mean that now scalpers can't just automatically download all the "dogs" whie keeping the valuable games? So they will have to load the undesirable games manually onto Stubhub. The Yankees are not gaining anything. The games are still mainly overpriced. After many years I have no intention of takingva season plan. Many of my friends feel the same way. We will buy games on Stubhub.
I'm a NY Rangers season ticket holder, and they have the same deal with Ticket Exchange, and I never use it. Still go with Stubhub because you can price the seats for whatever you want, and get your money relatively fast with Paypal.
When you sell tickets on Exchange money stays in your account either for playoff tickets, or every thirty days you can request money in your account, but it comes the same way you paid for tickets. So if you charge your tickets you get a credit for the amount on your credit card statement, it's awful.
I actually am probably in the minority but I think this is a good thing. I think that in the short term it will likely result in a lot of empty seats but I think in the long term it will cut down on the purchasing of tickets purely as an investment. The empty seats really in large part due to people purchasing tickets who have no intention of actually attending games. The deflated ticket prices probably would have the same long term effect but as someone who buys season tickets so I can go to games this actually strikes me as a positive. The stadium has changed an awful lot since StubHub became big. It's not just the new building or the changes in face prices.
Negative. This is not the way supply and demand works. If you set a price floor and raise prices on the secondary market you will decrease demand and reduce the number of fans that attend the game.
Maybe. I have no clue as to what this does for value. My initial thought was simply getting used to a new process is bad. Everything else is pure guesswork.
I think maybe some sales issues as the kinks work themselves out and people learn the new order but, in the long term, if this is someone's reason for not going to games anymore, they were looking for an excuse all along.
The Jet ticketexchange allows Jet STH to sell their seats through ticketmaster at NO LESS than face value and charges only 10% to the seller. They then mark up the ticket price 25%. As long as you can sell tickets through stubhub below face value, ticketmaster will be dying along with Hal, Randy and the rest of those greedy bastards
The restrictions on stub hub going forward might be a price floor, no more electronic delivery & no more same day sales.
That is only if Stubhub is so behind the 8 ball that they can't keep functioning. I seriously doubt that is the case. This is just more stupidity by people who have no idea what their seats are really worth or what they need to do to appeal to Yankee fans. This is the fifth year of the new stadium. The bloom is off the rose. Unless the Yankees get some players they are headed back to 1991 levels of attendance.
Nothing more fan friendly than that.
And that would suck. I've never bought same-day tickets, but I think the concept is awesome. I also like e-ticketing as a concept everywhere.
INcredibly stupid. The yankees are setting a floor for ticket prices (face value of the ticket). Stub hub is a free market (fans can sell tickets for any price) and if you remove that and set a floor even less fans will attend because the price is too high. For Levine to say that the stadium was empty because of stub hub shows that Levine is either a liar or that he doesnt understand supply and demand (im guessing a little of both).
If this is true the stadium will have even less fans next year per game.
If this is true the stadium will have even less fans next year per game.
That was likely even without this decision.
Oh, so they'll only have the 4th or 5th highest home attendance and maybe come in 2nd place overall rather than first. That'll show 'em.
I dropped my partial-season plan a couple of years ago after they moved me so far from my location in the real Stadium that I think it was in a new zip code.
I buy on ebay & stub hub and attend far fewer games, and now field calls from them each year trying to lure me back in.
Funny how Levine was on Francesa saying their "worse mistake" in the fake Stadium was that people didn't read the 56-page relocation plans and then were disappointed at their new locations. Closest I ever came to calling WFAN.
Now they think they will thwart people like me from using stub hub and attending at prices with which I am comfortable? No, just as I dropped my season plan, I will now attend even less often.
When they are disenfranchising people like me, and other die-hard fans posting here, well, they have a problem. And the way they are trying to "solve" it is backward.
Once again, they are catering only to the high-end fan who can afford the season plan and now is unhappy his resale prices for games he is dumping aren't high enough.
Can't one individually sell any ticket via stub hub even if the direct interface for season ticket holders is removed?
Sure. Unless the Yankees take back electronic transfer you will still be able to do business till two hours before game time. You just will have to load the tickets manually.
I believe so, They seem to want to eliminate the brokers selling tons of tickets below market value then delivering when they can buy it cheaper.
No way. I tried doing that. Doesn't work. If anything this makes it EASIER to do that, since people aren't filtering tickets for instant e-delivery.
The Yankees prices are too high. you gotta be a corporation stuffed with bucks to get a lot of seats there. Or a zillionaire. The pricing is a little too much for the "haves and have-nots".
If the trend continues and agents cannot sell their tickets then the agents will vacate the Yankee market.
I travel to NY and pay the Piper. It's a matter of fact. But buying tickets in Fla. is just fabulous. I get upper deck boxes behind home plate for $25.00 surcharges included. Any advantage the fan may have the baseball owners will close if the owner is not receiving full benefit. Its not about the fan's pocketbook.
Doesn't Ebay have a similiar service? If someone buys a ticket and wants to sell it at whatever price they choose, the yankees don't really have any way to stop them at that point do they?
No. But this isn't targeting individuals who just want to manually resell a ticket. Its targeting the third-party services who buy up large blocks of seats for resale through a broker.
StubHub is owned by eBay.
I live in NorthEast PA, 100 miles from the Bronx,300 from Toronto. It is cheaper for me to go to Toronto to see the Yankees than to go to the Bronx. That includes gas, meal and hotel. Last year, $75, 8th row behind the plate. Beat that Randy.
"Less fees, more grammatical errors."
To confirm. This means there will no longer be the instant print tickets option. And there may be a floor?
I doubt that. Why would they go backwards and screw the ticket buyers even more? I am certain it jst means manual downloading to use Stubhub instead of the automatic option tat was in effect.
Great. I guess I should get the lube ready whenever I need to buy tickets from TicketMaster, now.
But you will no longer be able to get tickets the day of and print them is what I'm reading here. Which sucks as that is basically how I always get tickets.
As a ST holder that unfortunately has to now sell most of his tickets (deployed and stationed 100′s of miles away), I am fully in favor of switching to TicketMaster being their preferred provider.
First, this doesn't mean I can't use StubHub if I choose to. This is back to the pre-agreement time when I just had to manually enter the bar-code into StubHub to complete the sale. More of a pain in the ass for me, but still doable. I doubt I will considering just to make the face value back on bleacher seats I need to up the cost 15% to cover StubHub's ridiculous fees. On top of that, they charge you the buy I believe 10% (might be off since I am never on the buying end). That's quite excessive considering their role in the transaction.
Second, TicketMaster TicketExchange works perfectly for fans already (i.e. NY Rangers tickets). The fees are much less so ST holder can list their tickets for less and still make their desired money back. Additionally, fees for buyers are less to you the buyer gets the tickets cheaper.
While the Yankees are certainly doing this as a business decision, the ST holders were specifically asked our opinion on StubHub and I believe the decision was partly based off of our responses. I am confident it was unanimously in favor of canning StubHub. However, this helps the Yanks too. ST holder who rely on selling some of their tickets are not going to keep their ST packages if they can't do so easily. The Yanks need ST holders. Second, the Yanks want to see these tickets resold to fill the stadium. While they don't care about the ticket price (since they have already been paid for that ticket), they want people there to make more money off them via vendors, merchandise, etc. Lastly, this helps the Yanks sell their remaining tickets to the game at face value. StubHub made it very difficult to resell the tickets timely due to the price sellers had to recoup given their fees. Therefore, tickets stayed on the market longer and drove the prices down to "just sell it for something". This made it impossible for the Yanks Ticket Office to compete. If ST holder can sell their tickets faster, the market will sustain face value prices longer. Simple economics.
Just the measly opinion and analysis from a ST holder.
That's just SO wrong. I've been an ST holder for the Yanks and for the Jets. I did WAY worse when the Jets restricted resale prices to face (or near face). Basically, if there is a price floor, and people don't value the tickets enough to buy them at face, they just WON'T SELL. The Yankees allowing them to float enabled me to sell them (as you said, at least for something) and that puts butts in seats and generates concession revenue. Now there are just going to be MASSIVE chunks of tickets that go unsold because of the price floor. There's a reason the Tuesday night games in April sell for $2 a ticket, and it's not because of people "recouping fees." It's because people dont' want to go to those games that badly. I know that because I've been there myself. There have been 10-20 games that I've gone to ONLY because the ticket price was less than $3. What you're going to see this year is a whole bunch of season ticket holders not able to sell seats at all, diminished actual attendance, and diminished interest in Yankees tickets going forward. I'm most likely going to cancel my seasons as a result of this.
Also, if true that you'll still be able to enter bar codes, then I don't think a single ticket will be sold on ticket exchange. If not, see above.
Also, I just don't understand how people call stubhub's fees "excessive." If they were "excessive," don't you think people would have stopped using Stubhub? I mean think of what you're paying. For 25% of the ticket price you get (a) guaranteed real tickets, (b) in the exact seats they promised you, (c) instant online delivery and free printing, (d) an incredibly user-friendly interface that lets you map out the stadium and filter your ticket options by location, price, row, and even a bunch of whacky things that you can't get on the primary market (e) Hello- a !@#$ing EFFICIENT MARKET for tickets! You actually have, instead of people just sitting there not selling your tickets day-of, the ability to unload them on the cheap and get something, or, in the alternative (as a buyer) the ability to time your purchase and attend a game you otherwise would not have attended.
I remember trying to buy tickets to the 1998 world series. I spent hours on my landline on hold with ticketmaster to get absolutely nothing, and then spent weeks scouring eBay looking for a listing with a typo in it that might sell for less than market. I would GLADLY have paid 25% premium to use stubhub then. And the best part of it is, if I'm not happy with stubhub, all of that pre-stubhub infrastructure is still there: I can still go to craigslist or ebay or call an old-fashioned broker and get tickets.
So I don't really get how anybody could say stubhub's fees are excessive.
lets make it easy for all… the tickets prices are too f…high and the protect took a hit…189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,189,
People will still sell on stubhub unless the Yankees start taking tickets away and suspending accounts like they did in 2006. The floor will not work , cause people will still dump those Tuesday games in April on Stubhub, provided they dont punish the season ticket holder for reselling tickets other then ticketmaster site. We will see.
This is not how it works. It's basic supply and demand. Taking the tickets off of stubhub (and thus establishing a price floor on the secondary market) will not increase attendance. If anything it will DECREASE attendance as the lowest marginal buyers exit the market. There's no straightforward way this benefits the Yankees. There MUST be some ulterior motive here. My bet is on revenue-sharing dispute between Yankees and Stubhub
I dropped my partial plan after 5 years for this year because last year we picked up 3rd row terrace OF seats at 42 a game for 15 games. We didn't buy them as an investment but knew we'd miss a couple games for whatever reason throughout the summer.
But if my friend or I couldn't go, no one, and I mean NO ONE would buy them from us, and these were mostly weekend games. We'd regularly eat 25-30 bucks a ticket just to sell them to anyone. (20 bucks for the pair became our hope)
And forget selling the screwjob weekday tickets (that replaced Opening Day and Old Timers day) that are part of those plans, most of which are $5 upper deck games.
$40 field OF seats on Stubhub were the only reason I kept going. If they're going to artificially set a price floor on TicketExchange, well see ya later Yankee Stadium. Maybe I'll catch 2-3 games next year instead of the 7-10 I usually go to.
I have Net and Giant season tickets in addition to my Yanks tickets. Giants and Nets have Ticket Exchange but I still use Stub Hub as they are more known and bigger audience to sell too as well as easier transaction. As many said you just have to print out the PDF and load it that way. Me personally when my bleacher seats are listed for $3 for a Wed night Royals game I don't even bother posting them. It is not about making a profit but as it is impossible to go to 81 games a year you would like to at least recoup face value for the games you can't attend if you are making a full season commitment. One thing the Yanks don't do that that the Nets do is give season ticket holders a discount on their tickets. If maybe they did that (which there is No Chance in Hell..thanks Vinnie Mac) then you could sell for a few bucks less and still break even or come close to it…
Also not to mention that the Yanks still charge season ticket holder full price for bleachers even on $5 nights..Way to reward the loyal fans who pony up!!!

Every person has hundreds of bursa found throughout the body. The function of a bursa is to decrease friction between two surfaces that move in different directions. The bursa is a slippery, fluid-containing sac. Normally, the bursa is thin and contains a small amount of fluid.
A bursa is found where there is movement of a joint causing two tissues to rub against each other. For example, behind the elbow or in front of the knee, there is a bursa to allow the skin to move without rubbing against the bone. These movements should be smooth and effortless.
Bursitis - Inflammation of the Bursa
Under normal circumstances, the bursa provides a slippery surface that has very little friction with movement. Bursitis means that the bursa has become inflamed. The bursa loses its gliding capabilities, and becomes more and more irritated when it is moved.
When the condition called bursitis occurs, the normally slippery bursa becomes thickened and swollen. The added bulk of the swollen bursa causes more friction within an already limited space. Also, the smooth gliding bursa becomes gritty and rough. Movement of an inflamed bursa is painful and irritating.
Causes of Bursitis
Bursitis usually results from a repetitive overuse injury or due to prolonged and excessive pressure. Overuse injuries are most often seen in patients with bursitis deeper inside the body. Bursitis from excessive pressure is most often seen in superficial types of bursitis, such as people who kneel or rest on their elbows.
The next most common cause of bursitis is an acute injury, such as a contusion. Often a blunt trauma causes swelling within the bursa. The bursa, which functioned normally up until the time of trauma, begins to develop inflammation, and bursitis results. Once the bursa is inflamed, normal movements and activities can become painful.
Systemic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and gout, may also lead to bursitis. These types of conditions can make patients susceptible to developing swelling and inflammation within the bursa.
The last major cause of bursitis is infection. An infected bursitis, also called a septic bursitis, occurs when there is infection within the bursa. There is usually a break in the skin over the bursa that causes the infection, but there can also be infection spread to the bursa from within the body. Septic bursitis requires the use of antibiotics for treatment.

Too many see the U.S. as We/Us
The neighborhood that gets Droned sees the U.S. as 'us' (millions) as a whole rather than the 1,000s that Control us and the Military.
Be nice to have a way to openly object. A way to Petition for Redress of Grievances without the Grievances having to be channeled through and then approved by either a Democrat or Republican.
I have no Representation in Government, at any level. It also seems that almost everything MY Representatives do, they do at my demise and certainly without my Consent.
Once enough people make similar objections, we have a case that Authority is rescinded. At that point it will be the Representative who is primarily culpable and the non-consenting can begin to communicate repercussions for acting against those that 'represent' them.

DOWN the narrow drive, white narcissus bloom in profusion and birdsongs fill the air, but soon enough these diversions yield to the real business at hand. Here at the Santa Barbara Orchid Estate, exotic tropical blossoms are everywhere: atop tables and on fences, in pots and hanging baskets, mounted on cork slabs and clinging to tree trunks -- startlingly beautiful orchid flowers in virtually every color.
Just when you think you've seen them all, you see this: Dendrobium speciosum var. hillii 'Santa Barbara' -- an 8-foot-wide, 800-pound floral fantasy with no fewer than 200 spikes, each poised to unfurl quarter-size white flowers scented with sweet perfume. It's a $25,000 specimen that will be the star of the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show this weekend.

is the ninth best high school in the state and ranks at No. 517 in the nation, U.S. News & World Report said today.
If you want to get a look at the stats justifying the popular magazine's rankings, check out the list – and many other lists statewide and nationwide – at the magazine's website here.
In Georgia, Savannah Arts Academy ranked highest. Several Atlanta metro area schools also bested Lakeside High: Walton in Marietta (No. 3), Riverwood International Charter in Atlanta (No. 5), Lassiter in Marietta (No. 7) and Chamblee Charter (No. 8).
As for nationwide, the best schools were old faithfuls School for the Talented & Gifted in Dallas (No. 1), Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology in Alexandria, VA (No. 2) and the School of Science and Engineering in Dallas.
Seriously, those Dallas schools seem to take this this each year I've written about it (and that's about 10 years).
What separates Lakeside from the No. 1 school in the nation? The School for the Talented & Gifted has a College Readiness Index of 100 percent. A math proficiency of 3.9, a reading proficiency of 3.8 and a student/teacher ratio of 14:1. (A detailed explanation of those marks is included at the magazine's site.)
Lakeside's College Readiness Index – 44.8 percent. A math and reading proficiency of 3.6 and student/teacher ratio of 17:1.
So, debate them, decry them, uphold them, criticize these ratings. But what do you think about Lakeside's placement and the magazine's analysis of our community's school? Tell us in the comments section below.

Got my truck leveled today! (pics inside!)
So, since i had the day off today, i decided it was a good day to get the leveling kit installed. I thought about doing the rear block kit as well, but decided not to, as I like how the truck looked so much leveled I decided to leave it alone.
got one pre and post install in the same spot. along with a few during. could have taken more, but I wasnt trying to doa how to thread, as the instructions that Readylift send with the kit a very straight forward.
I measured pre and post install. ground to fender went from 36 and 1/8th to 38 and 3/4s. both sides were within a 1/16th of an inch after the install, so i think i must have done something right. the front and rear are within 1/4 inch of each other, with the front sitting just a touch higher on the left side. I am going to keep the rear block kit, it may get put in, just not sure about it right now. enough from me, questions and comments are welcome.

Thanks for the pics. I just got my '11 1500 LTZ and I've been wondering where exactly those strut extensions go. I've noticed some kits come with them and some are just 2" lower blocks. I guess they're necessary to get the full 2.5"?
How much is the Readylift kit? I can get a 2" kit that is just the lower blocks for $60 shipped so I'm still weighing my options.
Thanks in advance.
well, ill add a quick little review for it here, since i got it installed today.
on a scale of 1-10 for difficulty id say it was a 5 or so. I had access to a two post lift, which made things much easier. this is something a person could do in there driveway, but i wouldn't recomend it. A air impact was a big help. the instruction sheet that came with it was very clear and easy to follow, with good pictures. provided parts fit like a glove. install took me about and hour and 45 minutes, with a few short breaks to cool off a bit (very warm here today, shop has no A/C)
A few tips, read thru the instructions and understand them! A jack stand or some other blocking material is very handy when take apart the top ball joint. one thing i would also suggest is soaking the parts in PB blaster or similar if you are doing this to a older and/or rusted truck. Since mine is a 2011 it wasn't to bad, but i could see it being a issue on a older truck, or one that has been in the rust belt for a while. measure things! make sure to measure the threads of the sway bar and ball joint bolts and try to get things back to that measurement, that way your front end wont be way off when you re-asemble things.
You don't need a lot of tools, a good set of box wrenches, a good socket set, and a pry bar is all you HAVE to have, along with a jack and some jack stands if you are not using a lift. there are a few spots a extra set of hands could be useful, if nothing else to hand you tools. :-D im a decent wrench turner, so i didn't find this overly difficult, defiantly better then paying a shop to put it in. as i like to say, learn by doing!
to address you questions about the difference in kits. some kits do things in different ways, it all depends on how they were designed. if you really to get a good idea, call the different manufactures and ask them about it, try and get a idea that way.
the price is $229.99 straight from readylift. you may be able to find it cheaper at places like autoanything.

Looks great! However, for some reason I just don't like those steps on the bottom of the truck. It just ruins the Feng shuiof the truck. Other than that, LOVE IT! Now just throw some meaner tires on there and call it a day

Just ailerons on the bottom wing. Is it that significant if they are large enough?
Club Saito # 677-Team Boca Bearings-Star Collectibles Muscatine-Glowhead Brotherhood #19
It's significant if the bottom wing is stalled and the top is not.
1/2A all the way!
Club Saito #151
Here's an older design. You would have to add ailerons. Scroll down to Schoolgirl.
And there is a Honker Bipe plan.
Real Airplanes have Round Engines and Two Wings.
Here's one thrown together out of balsa sticks, bamboo skewers, cellophane covering, Spiderline controls....based on the Ultimate Bipe.
The flat bottom airfoil was an experiment to see if it would hold it's place in the sky better during upright flat spins and tumbles....it does pretty well.
Yeah - the Bipe came out shortly after the original Honker and used the same wing (if you had built a Honker, your wing construction was already half done ). The plans called for a .15 to .25 - it would fly fine with a .15; with a .25, it was "sporty" to say the least.ORIGINAL: skaliwag
And there is a Honker Bipe plan.
There was an even later offering by Dave Thornberg (designer for the Honker series) called the Honker Rocket which was used for some class racing. It was essentially a Honker with the fuselage cleaned up a bit.
All three planes used a Jedelsky airfoil making them some of the original SWR's.
the "other" andrew
I'm not older than dirt, but I can remember when it was patent pending
I am thinking of a 1/2 a bipe using one set of ace constant cord foam wings I had.
After you add ailerons, they come out to a six inch cord, and each section is 18 inches long.
I noticed this is the correct cord and wingspan for a scaled down Bill Warwick "hot canary",
which is a negative stagger racing bipe. I found some planes on line for a 30'' span version for American Modeler Magazine and scaled those down.
(Top flight did one at about 36 inch span for a .40)
18 inch span looks crazy small, but it is about the same proportions as the top flite sized one, and that flew ....
It would be so simple to use the molded foam wings as they are, in their 18 inch sections.
What do you think?
The ACE Simple Ultimate uses those wings. My Bipe Stik uses lighter foam copies of the same wing.
1/2A all the way!
Club Saito #151
Bipe flyer
Yes I saw the wire-cut reproductions of the ace molded wings.
I am familliar with the ace bipe that used them too - that was for a .10 or .15
What is unique abaout the bipe I am proposing is that it uses only one set, unjoined, so it would have about 200 sq inch wing area, the same as the simple series ment for 1/2a's.
So it would be an 18 inch span negative stagger bipe for 1/2a.
I'll try and frame someting up and post it ...
Oh, I see what you mean. I would have thought the Hot Canary would have a narrower, longer wing than that. From looking at a 3 view a 6" chord would be a 28" span.
I built I bipe using the panels as you described, makes for very fast roll rates.
1/2A all the way!
Club Saito #151
Thats it !!!!!!!!
Thrue, 6 x 18 inch doesn't scale from that drawing of the actual plane. I scaled it from a .40 size published in American Modeler magazine - take a look
Which cox engine/prop is that? I have a norvel big mig .049 I was thinking of using.
Regarding the fast roll rate, the .40 size I am scaling from had ailerons on the bottom wng only, which I think I would do too, for such a short span.
Thanks so much for posting your bipe, it really encourages me to give it a try.
At first I thought they shortened the wings in the drawing for space, but when checking the scale indicator against the chord on the side view of the fuselage, then using that to calculate the span and scale it to 18" without the wing tips, you get a chord of 6". I've never seen a Hot Canary with wings that short.
The engine is a pre-Revlite Norvel AME .061 with an APC 5.7X3 prop.
To be perfectly honest that wasn't my best design. The aspect ratio of the wings, thick airfoil and having 2 of them made for a very draggy plane.
I prefer ailerons on both wings because you can run into a situation where one wing is stalled and the other is still flying, especially if you use different incidences on each wing. For example, it's not uncommon to put the bottom wing at a few degrees relative to the top wing - if you get slow or at high AOA the bottom wing can stall while the top wing has not, giving you no aileron control. In the case of the Hot Canary, it's actually preferable to have the bottom wing stall first because, as it is the forward wing, the CG would shift forward, dropping the nose and building up airspeed. Of course things like stagger and using different airfoils on each wing change the stall characteristics of each so I just stick to zero incidence for both wings and ailerons on both. Also, I believe that rolls are more axial when your control surfaces are not so far offset from the centre line of the plane.

Hello all,
Well I am finally home for about two weeks!! Will retire to the basement soon and start cutting balsa and building 1/2a like I do every year. I really appreciate everyones plans that were posted, I plan on building the Jn-4, Waco, Bandito and the Niewport. I love 1/2a, probably because most of my young life I got a Cox P-51 control line for Christmas every year and I flew it until the wings broke (really)!
Hope everyone has a great break however long it is (I used to get no break, finally seniority has caught up!) Build some planes to fly this spring, life is short, enjoy what time is left.
I was lookingfor a similar project for my building season. I`m having a hard time trying to find anything at all from clancy aviation. I really wanted to downsize their bipe to an .010 or .020 size. I would settle for a ladybug or yard bee though in case anyone runs across anything, or knows anyone, etc.
I tried to find one too and finally gave up and drew a partial plan.
Just let me know what file format you want and shoot me your email address.
1/2A all the way!

My low wing monoplane with one 17" piece of ACE wing and an .049 works fine, and glides really well. So single pane; ACE wing things are feasible, yes.ORIGINAL: Trinut
18 inch span looks crazy small, but it is about the same proportions as the top flite sized one, and that flew ....
It would be so simple to use the molded foam wings as they are, in their 18 inch sections.
What do you think?
Sorry I'm late dear, I had to help my uncle Jack off his horse.
I can help you out with an SE5, a 1/10 scale version at about 30 inch span, motor shown is a Mills 1.3 diesel.I was thinking a loose Jenny, SE5 , Moth. Slow, light....
PM me if you are interested. - John.
Other plans for small engines I would never build, but would be a shame to throw out are:
Farman Moustique, for a 25 size engine.
Short Skyvan, engines shown are two Medallion or Tee Dee 049's.
D.H Moth minor for 20 size engine.
Luscombe Silvaire, 15 to 20 size engine.
Not 1/2 A, but I'm not likely to build a 40 size Fokker EIII either, who wants it?
Aeromodeller plans which I no longer have but you may be able to trace are the Bristol Scout, Sopwith Triplane & Nieuport II.
These were all free flight plans, all sheet construction, so simple to build.
I tried them free flight with Babe Bees, the Scout was a good flyer, the Nieuport not so good.
Never got around to the Triplane. - John.
Whoa! Just dug out a couple more, designed for electric but convertable:
Bristol Beaufighter, my guess, for two 10 size engines, hand launched.
Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter, designed for a speed 600, a 20 to 25 would do the job.
well if you don't find anything from now to march check out the cpaa.us website and see about the biggest flea market down at the lebanon fairgrounds in march i'll definately be there

I've heard and read about empaths and have been thinking that maybe I'm one for awhile now.
I don't know, it makes my brain hurt.
However, it seems that the more I ween off of my mood controlling/altering medicine, the more I'm able to pick up on people's emotions and channel them.
The other day at work, I was happy as can be and then out of nowhere we got this batch of like five extremely rude and angry customers. So, then out of nowhere I'm all angry and upset. I don't think it was because I was upset that they were rude with me, I think I was channeling their anger.
Similarly, yesterday at work, everything was going great until something angered my coworker, and boy was she angry. So, then out of nowhere, I got this really intense bout of rage that didn't go away until I left work an hour later.
I don't know what all of this means, but is it possible that I'm an empath and that the mood medications have been altering my abilities?

Last night, it seemed the Dodgers made good contact a lot off of Delgado, as they collected 11 singles. Some have judged that the D-backs were unlucky, as the BABIP was so high, while others have figured that since there was good contact, that showed the pitcher at fault. So I went back and looked at ground ball/line drive statistics (at Baseball Reference) and while judging what is a line drive and what isn't is an inexact science, the data available backs up my thoughts: yes, the Dodgers made some good contact, but they were also extremely lucky.
In his six innings of work, Delgado gave up six line drives. All were hits. He also induced seven ground balls, three of which were hits. The other two hits were fly balls, one of which was a bloop that was almost caught by Kubel (and almost definitely would have been caught by Parra or Pollock.) So 100% of his line drives last night went for hits. Is that typical?
Line drives, as Baseball Reference figures them, are typically hits. But still, not at the 100% rate. In his other four starts this season, Delgado has given up 12 line drives, 10 of which were hits, or 83%. But the rate of ground balls going for hits was abnormally high as well. 3 out of 7, or 43%, of ground balls induced by Delgado were hits. By comparison, only 10 of 36 ground balls in his previous starts were hits, or 28%. Call it luck, or defensive placement (I think at least three hits went about three steps left of Chavez at third), or whatever, the Dodgers hot bats were helped by it.
To provide a bit of control for these numbers, I also looked at IPK's games. 23% of IPK's ground balls have been hits, which is close enough to Delgado's rate in his first four starts, although almost half of what Delgado's rate was last night. However, only 68% of line drives have resulted in hits, substantially lower than Delgado's 83% over his first four starts, and obviously much lower than last night.
In conclusion, if you give up line drives, you are going to give up hits, as we all know. But if every line drive is a hit, you had some bad luck, or some bad defensive placement, or both. 2/3 of line drives resulting in hits is probably about average, and 1/4 of ground balls resulting in hits is probably about average. Anything beyond that, and the other team either got lucky, or you need to change the defense. Last night, the Dodgers got lucky and took advantage of not having the best defensive lineup out there, and the results were obvious. But their luck has to turn eventually. Hopefully it will start to turn tonight.

You're a blogger in a visual world. The visual part of online content publishing is as important as the written words, if not even more. Adding stunning pictures to your content is one of the most effective actions you can take to grab and hold the attention of your audience.
How do you communicate with words when your readers are conditioned to absorb information through imagery? To succeed, you better have effective visuals to hammer your points home and hook people with visual cues that tell them they've found what they need. To do the best possible job of marrying pictures to your posts, consider these factors:
- A visually appealing design theme. Why bother with images if your site design doesn't utilize them in visually appealing ways in the first place? Make sure that your design showcases and uses pictures prominently. Here are some suggestions for themes to use.
- Does the image quickly make its point? First-time visitors to your site are unsure you have what they need, and you have just a few seconds to convince them to stay. A powerful picture is one that virtually screams the topic you're talking about. Don't pick something abstract. You can't drop any old photo or illustration into an article and pat yourself on the back for thinking visually. There should be no mystery what the picture is communicating.
- Words in photos. Just as a photo inserted into text can help illustrate a point, the right powerful word or phrase embedded in an image can turbocharge a picture. The word or the headline of your post helps the picture tell its story, and makes it abundantly clear the topic your post is tackling. Images with quotes and facts are also highly shared in social media.
Where to find pictures to use in your content
- Taking your own pictures
Easiest way of being completely unique is by taking your own pictures and using them in your content. These images have have been shot by you and nobody else has access to them. Here are some general tips to keep in mind when taking the pictures for your site:
Quality: You don't have to have a professional camera, to shoot quality images (although it helps). Make sure to train your eye and keep a steady hand. Be aware of light and don't rush. Take your time. Learn about photo editing further down in this article. You can remove the blur, the red eyes, you can sharpen the image and you can even it out.
Motive: When taking food photos for instance, setting up the plate before you take the picture is essential. Think about the colors of the food, the background and the position. Maybe a red tomato will take the image from plain to extra in a matter of second – plus tomatoes are tasty.
Accessories: Different accessories can have a lot of impact and can enhance your pictures. You will noticed for example food bloggers using fancy plates or cute spoons.
Practice and learn: Look at other pictures and noticed how others are doing photography. It's fun and it's inspiring. Don't copy others, but take inspiration from them and interpret the different styles that you see online. Soon enough you'll have lots of ideas on your own.
- Searching for creative commons license pictures
If you don't have a camera and cannot get your own images there is creative commons license to help you out. With creative commons attribution license you are free to share (to copy, distribute and transmit the work) and to remix (to adapt the work).
Only thing you need to do is to attribute the work in the manner specified by the author. This basically means that you can use any of the images you find in creative commons as long as you credit the source with a link.
CC Search is a search engine for sites that feature creative common materials.
Also Flickr images are used by many of the biggest sites. You need to find images that you are permitted to use. You can narrow your search results to the Creative Commons license only. When I use images from Flicker I usually credit the source of my image with "image by" link at the end of my articles.
How to use pictures to attract traffic
- Reduce the image size. First-time readers are impatient and won't wait around for your giant image to load. Make sure the photo is big enough to make an impact, but not so large that the file size prevents a quick pageload. Several image editing tools have the "Save for web" option which can drastically reduce the size. It is possible to reduce the image size to a third of the original size without losing much quality.
- Fill in the meta data. Use a file name that includes the keyword phrase instead of the generic file name to better describe the picture. Also make sure the image title tags and alt text have relevant keywords in them. You can also use descriptive text near the image by writing an image caption. All this will help you index in Google Image Search and hopefully send you new traffic. This is how you do it in WordPress:
- Use social media meta tags. On Facebook the image meta is called Open Graph, on Twitter it is Twitter Cards. If you don't use these tags Twitter and Facebook won't be able to recognize your image so your posts will display without them when being shared which will affect your clickthroughs. In both cases WordPress makes it easy, just install WP Facebook Open Graph Protocol plugin for Facebook and JM Twitter Cards for Twitter.
- Go to image based social media sites. Now that you are comfortable about images and have started using them to make your content better, you should also work on using images to get attention and get more visitors to your site. There are several different image based social networks that you should be a part of and submit your pictures to in order to get a wider reach:

- Your guide to building an Instagram community
- How to use Pinterest when blogging
Simple image editing tips for beginners
- Image editing tools to get you started
If you're just starting out you need a simple image editing tool. If you use a Mac you have access to iPhoto and Preview, both of them being able to do simple edits like resizing, exposure and saturation.
Picmonkey is a simple photo editing online tool. Allows you to put captions in fun fonts onto your pictures, create collages or add an effect to your pictures. From polaroids and traditional museum frames to craft scissors and rounded corners… framing your pictures is a quick and easy. It also lets you create collages with pre-designed templates. You can also make a nice Facebook cover picture pretty quickly.
Snagit is the another photo editing software. You download it to your computer and it gives you the freedom of saving photos, giving you a chance to get back to editing later, as opposed to Picmonkey, where you don't have your own file of pictures. Snagit lets you do pretty much the same stuff, however the opportunities when it comes to size is larger with Snagit, making it perfect for making infographics.
As you get better at picture editing and your needs expand, you will need to move to more advanced picture editing software like Lightroom, Gimp and Pixelmator in order to really create amazing imagery.
- The way to a better photo in Picmonkey
Sometimes you have to position your body in a special way in order to get a good shot of something that is placed in a specific way. Without a tripod, you can end up with a messy picture, but don't worry it's very simple to save the situation. Using the Rotate function you can straighten the photo out very easily and quickly and make it look perfectly straight. The editor will make the picture size smaller, so make sure to straighten a larger version of the pic than you will actually need for your site in order to end up with something you can simply just size down yourself if needed – it's pretty hard to make it bigger and keep the same quality!
Now the picture is straight, but the color may be a bit off. It might be too dark. If you take pictures in day light on a gray morning, it reflects in the picture. What to do? You can simply add some more brightness by playing in the Exposure tool. The tool lets you play with four different components; brightness, highlights, shadows and contrast. The ones to adjust are brightness, highlights and contrasts. Be careful when doing this and only move them a few points in order to keep the natural look of the picture. How much you should adjust each of these of course depends on your picture and the lighting, so just play around and you'll easily see the results.
If you are still unhappy with the lighting in your picture you could add a filter to the photo and give it a whole new look and style. Make sure to use a filter that is suiting for the rest of your sites feel and to add it to all the pictures in the post, otherwise you will end up with a messy look with a picture that stands out. See for example filter by the name of "Intrepid" which gives a picture a vintage look and feel.
Check here for a full step-by-step guide on creating highly shareable visual assets. See also this on how to create GIF images.
Pictures will certainly boost your content and your social media engagement. When you are comfortable with images you can even go beyond. Include presentations within your content. Publish videos. Use infographics that look great and are highly shareable.

Ivanovic header gives Chelsea the crownBy MIKE CORDER
The Associated Press | May 16,2013AP PHOTO
Chelsea players celebrate with the trophy after winning the Europa League final soccer match between Benfica and Chelsea at ArenA stadium in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on Wednesday night.AMSTERDAM Branislav Ivanovic scored on a looping header from Juan Matas corner kick in the third minute of stoppage time, and Chelsea beat Benfica 2-1 Wednesday night to win the Europa League following its Champions League title last year.
Fernando Torres put Chelsea ahead in the 60th minute, but Oscar Cardozo tied the score when he converted a penalty kick eight minutes later after a hand ball by Cesar Azpilcueta.
Chelsea earned the stoppage-time corner kick when Ramires knocked the ball off Jardel and over the end line.
Ivanovic, suspended for last years Champions League final for yellow-card accumulation, rose between Jardel and Andre Almeida and from 8 yards headed the ball over goalkeeper Artur, who froze. The goal came at 2:13 of three minutes of stoppage time, and Ivanovic slid to the nearest corner flag, punched it and was mobbed by teammates,
Manager Rafa Benitez, criticized intensely by Chelsea fans since he replaced Roberto Di Matteo in November, led the Blues to the only major title they had not won. Benitez already has said he will leave at the end of the season, and Jose Mourinho appears likely to replace him in his second stint as Chelsea manager.
Playing its 68th match of the season, Chelsea won despite missing captain John Terry and midfielder Eden Hazard, both injured in Sundays 2-1 Premier League victory over Aston Villa. Terry was suspended for last years Champions League final, won on penalty kicks over Bayern Munich.
Before a crowd of 46,163 at Amsterdam Arena, Benfica lost its sixth straight European final since winning the Champions Clubs Cup in 1962, when promising 20-year-old striker Eusebio scored twice to beat Real Madrid 5-3 in Amsterdam. Eusebio was among the spectators for this final.
Torres, who has nine European goals this season but just seven in the Premier League, scored when he collected the ball just inside Benficas half, used his strength to turn and wrestle past Ezequiel Garay and then beat captain Luisao before rounding Artur and slotting from a tight angle.
Torres sprinted to the corner and struck a Usain Bolt-style pose in front of the Chelsea fans.
It was the second straight crushing late loss for Benfica. On Saturday, Portos Kelvin scored in stoppage time for a 2-1 win that moved Porto past Benfica into the Portuguese league lead with one game left.MORE IN Wire SportsFOXBOROUGH, Mass.

Zionsville —
The Whitestown Town Council approved a new water rate for residents that will result in a net increase of $3.96 for an average residential user.
The council held a public hearing and adopted the ordinance for the new rate during its Tuesday night, June 11, meeting. Under the new structure, a minimal residential user, who uses up to 2,000 gallons per month, will pay $27.03.
While the overall result is a net increase, many residential users in the southern area of Whitestown will see a decrease.
"Somebody on the south system in Royal Run, their bill used to be on average $46.59, but now it is going down to $27.03," Town Councilor Susan Austin said. "Everybody in the system will be paying the same rate; so people on the north system will see their rates increase a little bit."
Resident Linda Blackburn asked when the new rate would take effect.
"If we adopt, there is a 14-day remonstrance period," Austin said. "We would probably wait until the August billing cycle so we can make sure that we are applying it correctly."
Resident Clarence Brabson asked if there would still be hydrant fees and fire fees, which are separate from the water fee under the old rate structure.
"The total bill includes the hydrant fee," Austin said. "The fire fee is being eliminated, but the hydrant fee is going from $7.78 to $4.91, but that is included in the $27.03 total. The money from the hydrant fee is money that is put to hydrant changes and technology changes. As things are aging, we have to be ready if the fire department gets new equipment."

HEA STEM: A Guide to Puzzle-Based Learning in STEM Subjects
This report is part of a project funded by the Centre for Learning and Academic Development (CLAD)
- Publication Date: 01-06-2012
The objective of the project was to develop new learning resources to enable staff working in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) to incorporate puzzle-based learning in their teaching. This guide to puzzle-based learning accompanies a selection of mathematical and logic-based puzzles, grouped by mathematical topic and approximate "level", as judged by our experiences. We shall comment more on this later. It is written to provide advice to staff on how to adapt such puzzles for use in their subject at the appropriate level(s).
Our motivation for this project is a belief, based on our experience here and elsewhere, that puzzlebased learning is under-exploited in the teaching of mathematics and problem solving to STEM students. In Section 2 we define our terms and provide examples. Our teaching experience strongly suggests that embedding puzzles in the curriculum enhances students' learning by developing their general problem-solving and independent learning skills. We also expect this will increase their motivation to learn mathematics, whether as a subject in its own right or as vital learning for other STEM disciplines. We expand on this theme in Section 3 and in Section 4 we provide case studies of how such puzzles have been used with students.Publisher: University of Birmingham

The following message from Fr. Michael Brunner to members of the St. Anselm Parish in Creve Coeur was shared in the church's weekly bulletin:
Anticipation and reality can be somewhat different.
I was a Junior in high school when Bishop Fulton J. Sheen was appointed Bishop of Rochester, NY, my home diocese. That name might not mean much to most of you under 60 years of age, but he was a television superstar who out-polled the great comedian Milton Berle who was on during the same time spot. He was also the widely known head of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, the central fundraiser for the missions. The city was ecstatic at his appointment. I remember going downtown to the War Memorial Coliseum for his civic welcome ceremony, and actually saw him in the back seat of his limousine as he drove past down to the stage entrance.
When he made his entrance on stage, I thought there must be a mistake, although when he began to speak there was no question that it was Bishop Sheen. He was however, surprisingly short, and very short at that. On TV, the camera must have been at about waist height and so had to look up at him. On TV he looked very tall indeed.
That was not the first disappointment, of which there were several. Bishop Sheen was very dynamic and progressive, with lots of ideas and plans, but Rochester was not ready for them nor for a superstar, and he was not used to people disagreeing with him. He was there only 3 years. He was disappointed with Rochester and Rochester with him, although the Jewish people really loved him. Later, under another Bishop, most of his ideas became a reality.
For us, the anticipation of the Advent season reaches its peak in this coming week. We begin to pray using the titles of the Messiah derived from the Old Testament prophecies.
As you look at those titles, and their magnificence, you can get some sense of the real expectations that the Jewish people had for their Messiah. It seemed clear to them that his kingdom would be of this world, and the more educated and pious one was, the clearer it seemed.
But reality was definitely different from anticipation. Most did not even recognize him as the Messiah. It wasn't that he was too short or anything like that. He just definitely could not be the one they waited for by any measure. So, some still do not recognize him or are still waiting, while others have given up looking and believing.
We know better; we know it really is He. But if we are honest with ourselves, we must admit that we'd feel better and we think maybe things would go more smoothly if Jesus were a little more kingly in human terms, a little more glorious, and maybe even a little more realistic. He has such big ideas and plans. That forgiving enemies 77 times or more, turning the other cheek, being generous to the poor (who might well deserve to be poor,) that all seems over-the-top idealistic. It truly does. Jesus wants us to lift up our eyes and being from an earthly to a divine horizon.
So we basically have this week, nine more days, to get ready for that big celebration. It would be very easy to celebrate Christmas with not a thought about the real Jesus Christ, what He came for and what He expects of us.
There will be lots of parties, new movies coming out, gifts to buy and exchange, lots of decorating and Christmas songs. No one stops to think what possible connection Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer has with the real Christmas, or any of those other things, and that Christmas snow is only relevant if you're on top of the world and not at the bottom.
According to the Gospels, the only people who knew what was happening that first Christmas were the poor shepherds. And only with an attitude like theirs can we be ready for Christmas, for the reality of it: Poor in spirit, meek, mourning, hungry, merciful and forgiving, peacemakers, persecuted. It doesn't sound very attractive, does it?
But within that readiness is the key to genuine, eternal happiness and freedom and the recognition of the One who sets us free. We can make that attitude and reality appear attractive by the way we live it, with purity of heart, that is single-heartedness.
May our last nine days of anticipation make us more ready for the real thing...
