Death Quotes and Sayings
People fear death even more than pain. It's strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over.
– Jim Morrison
When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.
– J. K. Rowling
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but love leaves a memory that no one can steal.
The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.
Life asked death, "Why do people love me but hate you?"
Death responded, "Because, you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth".
Death will come easy to those who never lived at all.
Life is a bus and death is an unknown terminal.
Each of us must someday leave the theater of life and disturb the audience as he goes out unsatisfied having been forced to miss the rest of time.
Watching a peaceful death of a human being reminds us of a falling star; one of a million lights in a vast sky that flares up for a brief moment only to disappear into the endless night forever. God bless your soul my father. !
Every thought about death takes a moment of life away.
It is not the fear of dying that scares me, it's the fear of not living that does.
Everyday is for birth, everyday is for death, once again I give thanks to God who keeps my breath.
There's only one exit on the highway of life.
Certainty? In this world nothing is certain but death and taxes.
– Benjamin Franklin
Most people would sooner die than think; in fact, they do so.
– Bertrand Russell
Free as the wind
There she was being buried deep beneath the ground. Never to be heard again. All alone in the dark with no light. That's what she loved the most about life. The sun shining down on her face with the wind in her hair. Carefree till the day. That reached day. All I could do was scream. As the bullet shattered her last thought. Into the wind were her last words. Then she shut her eyes in to never ending sleep. Now she is free. Free as the wind itself. But never will I forget the man who did this. His face cold as ice, his eyes black with no care and his heart as evil as death.
In life things happen that you can't take in all at once. You might act as if they were still there because you can't let go of who you loved. But we must all learn to think of the good times. And remember what you did do and not what you never got the chance to do. So move on when it's hard and take a deep breath. Don't give up hope. It will always end.
It is nothing to die. It is frightful not to live.
– Victor Hugo
Life once asked death, "Why do people love me so, and despise you so badly?"
Death replied with this, "Because you are a beautiful lie, while I'm the ugly truth."
Everybody wishes they could go to heaven but no one wants to die.
The end of the world has come often, and continues to come.
– Jonathan Safran Foer
The graveyards are full of indispensable men.
– Charles De Gaulle
Sweet is true love that is given in vain, and sweet is death that takes away pain.
– Alfred Tennyson
I look at life as a gift of God. Now that he wants it back I have no right to complain.

How are you ensuring that student s read along with the tape? If there are limited tape recorders, how do you organize the rotation of students?
Tape assisted reading is an individual or group reading activity where students read along in their books as they hear a fluent reader read the book on an audiotape. As confidence and reading skills develop, students read the same passage or text without the assistance of the tape.

Velveeta is one of those foods that you either adore or loath with a passion. Personally, I've loved the stuff since I was a child. For years, it's been my creamy "cheese" staple for macaroni and cheese, con queso dip, or simply melted on broccoli. While the food snob in me wants to renounce it in favor of actual cheddar, the child in me decided to try the Kraft 50% Less Fat Light Velveeta Cheese.
I decided a chip dip would be the simplest way to try my "cheese product." Using a large microwavable bowl, I nuked a few chunks until I had a smooth, thick, melted cheese concoction. I added a little hot sauce and dipped a chip in hungrily. It tastes just like regular Velveeta! Salty, cheesy, creamy - nothing like real cheese, but hey, I wasn't expecting it to. I did notice that the light version takes longer to melt, and for macaroni and cheese, I needed to add extra milk to it. However, I don't see why this wouldn't work for any recipe that calls for the orange block.
A 1 ounce serving of Kraft Light Velveeta Cheese provides 60 calories, 3 grams of total fat, 2 grams of which is saturated, 18% of the daily value for sodium, 2 grams of sugars and 5 grams of protein. The ingredient list is long, unpronounceable, and full of enough stabilizers to fill an EMS helicopter and the sodium is shockingly high for a small square of cheese.
I bought a two-pound block for about $5.00, and while I'll still keep this in my fridge for trips down memory lane, I'll be turning to real, actual cheese for my day-to-day use.

Meet Alcides Escobar ladies
Baseball September 1st, 2009
Sometimes I forget that I may have more female readers than I have male readers and that talking negatively about JJ Hardy is probably not the best course of action. The problem is the JJ days are probably over. The Alcides Escobar era is here and there's nothing we can do about it. I want the ladies to love Alcides, but the fact is that he is nowhere near as good looking as JJ Hardy. A friend of mine tells me that he enjoys vodka/cranberry and Michael Jackson, but that's just not enough to make this happen. We need more.
Luckily for Alcides he has me on his side. Here's 10 things that Alcides Escobar can do (scratch that, WILL DO) to make the ladies love him like they love JJ. When we're done with him he's going to make JJ Hardy look like Jonathan Knight (to his Donnie Wahlberg (or Joey McIntyre depending on your preference)) and no one will care when he comes out of the closet.

Someway, somehow, the White Sox are going to have to score a little more without the long ball.
Take nothing away from the home run, an area of expertise for the Sox, who ranked third in the American League last season with 211 and hit five in their first two games this week.
The long ball produces runs in bunches, and it helped the Sox finish fourth in the AL in runs last season, but unless their historically low on-base-percentage hitters at the bottom of the order (Dayan Viciedo, Alexei Ramirez, Tyler Flowers, Gordon Beckham) get on base at a higher clip, the Sox might have to settle for being what they were last season, an 85-win team that finished in second place in the AL Central.
In their 3-1 loss Thursday to the Royals, the Sox didn't hit one out of the park at U.S. Cellular Field for the first time in the series and lost for the first time in three games. They were 1-for-6 with runners in scoring position.
Live by the homer, die by the (no) homer.
"To win a lot of games and to win the tough games, you're going to have to knock runs in besides the home runs,'' manager Robin Ventura said. "Home runs are nice, but you're going to have to string together some hits and get some runs other ways.
"We've got to figure out a way to do it.''
The Sox scored all of their runs via the homer in their first two games, which Ventura wasn't opposed to, of course.
He hit-and-ran with Beckham on Thursday and bunted with leadoff man Alejandro De Aza on Wednesday with two runners on and a three-run lead, his way of trying to score with singles, sacrifices and good baserunning. The sacrifice didn't pan out when Flowers made a poor decision trying to score from third on a pitch that got away from Royals catcher Salvador Perez.
Told that the metrics community is armed with statistical data that show "giving away outs" with a sacrifice is more often than not bad strategy, Ventura fueled the debate between sabermetricians and old-school thinkers by saying, "There's a lot of those guys out there, but they're not sitting in this seat, and they're not sitting in this dugout. So it's a different feel when you're a player or a manager than it is just to sit there and write numbers down on a piece of paper."
Against Jeremy Guthrie, who has allowed two runs in 352/3 innings in his last five starts against the Sox, Ventura tried to get something going in the third inning of a scoreless game, starting the slow-footed Flowers from first with Beckham up.
Beckham punched a hit through the right side to set up a first-and-third situation for De Aza, but De Aza, who hit into one double play last season, hit into one to end the inning.
Beckham understood Ventura's thought process in both cases but said not to expect a rebirth of the 1959 Go-Go Sox. South Side Hitmen, it is.
"I don't think we'll have to manufacture too much because we have a lot of guys who hit the ball out of the park,'' said Beckham, who had four singles. "I've worked on hit-and-runs, so he felt confident, and there are times when that will happen, but most times they're going to let us play.''
With Gavin Floyd pitching six solid innings (three runs, two earned) and Hector Santiago following with three scoreless, the Sox came away knowing a sweep against a tough division foe was in reach. A base hit here or a home run there would've done the job.

To say which one is better, there is a LOT more involved than just MVP voting if you ask me. Records for when that player is out, how well that player plays through adversity, the "clutch gene", the ability to make their teammates better, and so many other factors. I don't believe MVP is the only thing to take into consideration. Again, not saying Kobe is better than LeBron, but you have to think of it this way as well in terms of Kobe's championships. Shaq did win those Finals MVPs, and he was very talented. However, he was much bigger than most of his one on one opponents and had it not been for Kobe, he may have been doubled or tripled each time he got the ball. With Kobe, Shaq's abilities may have been able to shine more (making your teammates better, even when not trying). The coaches may have worried more about Kobe's ability to get hot more than Shaq (kind of foolish at the time). So because of Kobe, Shaq was amazing and because of Shaq, Kobe was amazing. Another argument for Kobe, though again, I'm not saying which one is better (I think Durant is better all around and will continue to get better which is scary), Kobe came onto a team that was already well established and he wasn't expected to come in and save the team. His first two years, he sat a lot on the bench and didn't get very many minutes. He's progressed through his career and been pretty consistent. Point of my argument, LeBron and Kobe are different in many aspects which makes comparing them pretty difficult. They play different positions, have major different physiques, and came into the league in different eras and played in different conferences. There's no simple (look at the awards, etc.) solution to determining who is better. I think Durant is better than both of them (currently) and will continue to get better (I hope), but of Kobe and LeBron, I would rather have Kobe on my team than LeBron. Hope that's a good enough debate for you. Night, I'm tired.

It is far to say that we can count on both players to put up big scoring numbers, but lebrons ability to guard everyone from the point to the power forward makes him Valuable. Also he is a more efficient scorer. The other main aspect is that lebron is a super star that knows how to pass which is rare. The only thing I give Kobe is his ability to make the last shot which is pretty big but not enough to make him more valuable then lebron

(06-09-2012 01:45 PM)xstreaminsanity Wrote: lol. I'm not that petty. I didn't pick Kobe or LeBron as a better player. I am not really a fan of either of them per se. But if I had to choose who I wanted on my team, it would be Kobe, not LeBron. My main reason for that is because Kobe has proven to be pretty clutch. LeBron can just as easily take over a game, and not to go against Doc Rivers' request, but LeBron does seem to disappear more often than not in crunch time/games. Now, maybe what LeBron said is the block he had and he'll never have that problem again (about him trying to prove everyone wrong rather than just playing), but I can't foresee the future. Kobe has a history of coming up big late in games and taking over games just as much as LeBron has. LeBron is more of a team player. However, I think the defense part may not be a fair comparison. LeBron is much taller and has a bigger frame. He is even more athletic. However, Kobe is a very good (not great, but good) on ball defender. He's not going to have monstrous blocks nor collect 10+ rebounds in a game, that's not his position. LeBron could darn near play Center if needed. As far as the Durant thing, I agree, Durant may be 1 step behind LeBron. LeBron is 26/27, Durant is 23, so Durant is a freak. The only thing Durant has to work on is defense some. With his size and athleticism, him and Ibaka should be fighting for the blocks lead on the team. Durant has that "clutch gene" as Steven A Smith puts it, LeBron doesn't (or hasn't). Durant paces himself in the game so he knows he can go just as strong if not harder at the end of the game. But all three of these players play different positions (sorry, with LeBron's size, I really think he should be a PF, not an SF even with his freakish athleticism). They are all the best at their positions. Of who I would want on my team (not who I think is better, and I do see there being a difference) it would be Durant, then Kobe, then LeBron. Durant has a trump card because of his character. If they ever decided to rename the Sportsmanship Award, currently named after my favorite player Joe Dumars, I would hope Durant would get that honor. But yeah, I don't dislike someone for going off and beating my team. If anything, I'd be more upset at my team as everyone is stoppable, you just have to put forth the effort. He did what he is capable of doing, and should do, every game. I won't dislike someone for doing what they're capable of. lol.
(06-09-2012 02:59 PM)chrisa19978 Wrote: I know that was not the real reason but just had to mention it as that was a clutch as you can get. Kobe might be a better clutch player but my point with Shaq he got his 1st three rings and took a ton of pressure off of him for the other 2 he won. Lebron is still searching for that first one and pressure has been a factor on why he didn't win and no supporting cast till last year and this year and his first championship could be huge for the rest of his career. Everyone knows the first one will be the hardest to get. Getting down to the final 2 teams I can't imagine the pressure that will be on everyone and then the possibility of it being your first which is going to be the most special one. After that when they get there again its will not be will this be Lebron's first ring and more so can he do it again.

16Pallet desk
Materials: 4 Vika Curry legs + 1 pallet + 5mm thick ply wood + floor boards
Description: My plan was to create the cheapest and the most functional desk I can. (finally I have spent about 30 euros)
But the great idea with the pallet is the desk surface is doubled thanks to a large storage space
See more photos of the Pallet desk.

That table needs to be painted. It will look a lot better.
Is there a place to store tweezers?
Because you're going need them to remove all the splinters…
Great idea!! I think I might simplify it just a bit then paint a design on it. Thanks for the inspiration!!
Where on earth do you get pallets that look that nice?
I believe most wooden pallets are made from pressure treated wood. Which could mean a lot of pesticides leaching out of your desk. Just be careful.
Couldn't be more wrong! Look at it, its plain wood and the treatment it could have received its not the pressure one, so no pesticides
Good cheap design. Only problem is that it looks cheap. It also doesn't help that I work in a warehouse, so this wasn't exactly a welcome sight.
legs don't look strong. it is still attractive though.
Those legs are quite strong. I used them to make a rather large gaming table with 6′ X 3′ sheet of 3/4″ plywood. The legs can be unscrewed from the base plate making it easy to break down and store in the garage.
Always let wood show.
I feel so sad to see paint hide the beauty of wood. -
I like it – simple and effective. Agree about the splitenrs though! A quick sanding and a bit of varnish though and you shouldn't have any problems…
I'm a big fan of DIY pallet furniture.. so naturally, I love this! The rustic/industrial look isn't for everyone.. and obviously it was sanded down.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Hello, I have designed a new version : more ergonomic, more robust and nicer

Conventional wisdom advises investing in gold to hedge against market declines. The value of gold generally goes up when stocks go down.
Since the start of the Great Recession, interest in gold has greatly increased among investors. In August, gold reached more than $1,900 per ounce, a record high. During the first eight months of 2011, gold increased more than 28 percent.
As prices continue to rise, the risk of gold scams increases. Regulators and industry groups, such as the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the North American Securities Administrators Association (NASAA) and the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have all started to raise awareness regarding gold schemes and stocks.
The CFTC recently brought fraud charges against three companies that advertised ways for investors to purchase precious metals, such as gold, silver, and palladium, through leverage. Buying investments using leverage means putting up collateral and borrowing money to make the purchases. Also, buying gold or any other metal and taking possession of it can cost you not only in commissions but in outrageous storage fees.
In another case, a Florida firm cheated 1,400 investors out of $30 million without ever fulfilling a promise to buy gold bullion.
While the television advertisements promising great returns on gold sound may like good ideas, in many cases the entities offering these investments do not make good on their claims. It is imperative that one examines closely any type of gold offering before investing.
How can you determine if a gold investment is a scam? Linking a company's stock performance to the price of gold serves as one indication. Such a correlation does not always make sense. Investors should be wary of schemes that warn the United States faces excessive inflation or total economic collapse. These types of investment opportunities simply appeal to people's fears and do not provide any real protection from those concerns.
Similarly, if you worry about the economy declining or inflation, be careful about investing in gold at this time as gold has recently hit record highs. Any kind of run-up like we have seen has a propensity to undergo a massive correction.

1. Archaeology is a science that studies past cultures and the way people lived based on the things they left behind. Archaeology helps us understand not only where and when people lived on the earth, but also why and how they have lived.
2. The things that people leave behind are called artifacts. Archaeologists can tell a lot about people by looking at their houses, clothes, bones, and even their garbage. In fact, a garbage site is one of the best places to find artifacts of the past.
3. Most artifacts are buried in the ground and archaeologists must dig them up. This process is called excavation.
4. Any place where human activity occurred and where artifacts are found is called an archaeological site.
5. There are two kinds of archaeological sites. One is called a prehistoric site. The other is called a historic site.
6. The prehistoric site is one were the artifacts that are found are dated before people began writing records. These sites are more difficult because scientists can't look up information in any type of book or encyclopedia. At a historic site, archaeologists can look up information about the objects they find.
7. Archaeologists dig in a scientific way with neat, organized, square holes on a grid system. By doing this they can record everything they find and where the items were found.
8. The goal of archaeological research is to find cause and effect explanations of human behavior over the centuries. Studying the past actually helps scientists understand the present and can sometimes help scientists predict the future.
9. The archaeologists uses many tools in order to excavate a site. They use: handpicks, brushes, pointed bricklayer's trowels , hand shovels, dustpans, whisk brooms, stakes, string, cameras, notebooks and pencils. Sometimes they even use a bulldozer.
10. For a long time scientists thought the beginning of civilization began in Mesopotamia's Fertile Crescent. However, archaeologists now know the earliest known human remains were found around the ancient rock formation of Kibish, Ethiopia. The facts that early human remain
were found there makes many believe that the first humans came from Africa.

Comments about Caffelatex Injector:
Used this for Stans liquid fills. Some spills so best to do this outside. It's useful to topup the liquid after first installs, I pulled off the adapter and just pushed tube over the valve to do the filling (had removable valve pin). Overall it works, but should be cheaper really.

TB is a contagious or infectious disease that is spread from person-to-person. A person is usually infected by inhaling the germs that have been sprayed into the air by someone with the active disease who coughs. However, inhaling the germ does not usually mean you will develop active disease. A person's natural body defenses are usually able to control the infection so that it does not cause disease. In this case, the person would be infected, but does not have active disease. Only about 10% of those infected will actually develop TB in their lifetimes.
Active disease can occur in an infected person when the body's resistance is low or if there is a large or prolonged exposure to the germs that overcome the body's natural defenses. The body's response to active TB infection produces inflammation that can eventually damage the lungs. The amount of damage may be quite extensive, yet the symptoms may be minimal. The usual symptoms of disease due to TB are: fever, night sweats, cough, loss of appetite, weight loss, blood in the sputum (phlegm), loss of energy.
The tuberculin skin test (or PPD) is performed with an extract of killed tuberculosis germs that is injected into the skin. If a person has been infected with tuberculosis, a lump will usually form at the site of the injection-this is a positive test. This generally means that TB germs have infected the body. It does not usually mean the person has active disease. People with positive skin tests but without active disease cannot transmit the infection to others.
If a person has been infected with TB, but active disease has not developed, the chest X-ray usually will be normal. Most people with a positive PPD have normal chest X-rays and continue to be healthy. For such people, preventive medication may be recommended to eliminate the latent (non-contagious) infection. However, if the germ has attacked and caused inflammation in the lungs, an abnormal shadow is usually visible on the chest X-rays. For these people, diagnostic tests (sputum tests) and treatment usually are appropriate.
Samples of sputum coughed up from the lungs can be tested to see if TB germs are present. The sputum is examined under a microscope (a "sputum smear") to look for evidence of the presence of TB organisms. The organisms are then grown in the laboratory to identify them as TB germs and to determine what medications are effective in treating them. These studies are referred to as culture and susceptibility testing. State health department laboratories and reference laboratories can perform such testing.
People with a positive tuberculin skin test may or may not receive preventive medication therapy depending on the exposure history, the timing of the skin test conversion (when the test changes from negative to positive) and other factors in the person's medical history. When it is known that a person has recently been in close contact with someone with active tuberculosis and has developed a positive tuberculin skin test, preventive treatment is advisable due to a high risk of developing active disease. Isoniazid (INH) may be prescribed for nine months as preventive treatment.
Since the advent of anti-TB medications in the 1940s, the treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis has become highly effective if administered and taken properly. Treatment no longer requires prolonged hospital stays. In many cases, a person with a new case of TB can be treated at home. Others will enter the hospital to be placed on a medication program and to be isolated until the disease is controlled. When the person is no longer infectious, he or she can leave the hospital and continue on medication at home. Hospitalization in such cases may be a few weeks to several months depending on the severity of the disease and the effectiveness of the treatment program.
In most cases, a treatment program for drug-susceptible TB involves taking two or four medications for a typical period of six months. Medications may include isoniazid, rifampin, pyrazinamide and ethambutol. It is necessary to take multiple medications and to take all of the doses prescribed, because all of the TB germs cannot be eliminated by one medication.
It is important to realize that hospitalization for a person with TB, when necessary, represents only the beginning of treatment. Since active TB is slow to respond completely to therapy, prescribed medications must be taken faithfully for a long period of time (at least 6 months). If the TB medications are not taken regularly, serious complications may develop including:
Given the many effective medications available today, the chances are excellent that a person with tuberculosis can be cured. It is important, however, for the person to understand the disease and to cooperate fully in the therapy program.

In 1890, the Five Points School district became part of Ogden City. The city voted to build a bigger school for the elementary students in the area of 3rd Street and Adams Avenue. The new school building cost $16,770. The school grew from three teachers to eight by 1905. In 1919, W. Karl Hopkins, Superintendent of Schools, renamed Five Point School, Lincoln in honor of President Abraham Lincoln.

Threatenings against the enemies of Christ's kingdom. (1-6) Promise to Christ as the Head of this kingdom. (7-9) Counsel to all, to espouse its interests. (10-12)
Verses 1-6 We are here told who would appear as adversaries to Christ. As this world is the kingdom of Satan, unconverted men, of every rank, party, and character, are stirred up by him to oppose the cause of God. But the rulers of the earth generally have been most active. The truths and precepts of Christianity are against ambitious projects and worldly lusts. We are told what they aim at in this opposition. They would break asunder the bands of conscience, and the cords of God's commandments; they will not receive, but cast them away as far as they can. These enemies can show no good cause for opposing so just and holy a government, which, if received by all, would bring a heaven upon earth. They can hope for no success in so opposing so powerful a kingdom. The Lord Jesus has all power both in heaven and in earth, and is Head over all things to the church, notwithstanding the restless endeavours of his enemies. Christ's throne is set up in his church, that is, in the hearts of all believers.
Verses 7-9 The kingdom of the Messiah is founded upon an eternal decree of God the Father. This our Lord Jesus often referred to, as what he governed himself by. God hath said unto him, Thou art my Son, and it becomes each of us to say to him, Thou art my Lord, my Sovereign'. The Son, in asking the heathen for his inheritance, desires their happiness in him; so that he pleads for them, ever lives to do so, and is able to save to the uttermost, and he shall have multitudes of willing, loyal subjects, among them. Christians are the possession of the Lord Jesus; they are to him for a name and a praise. God the Father gives them to him, when, by his Spirit and grace, he works upon them to submit to the Lord Jesus.
Verses 10-12 Whatever we rejoice in, in this world, it must always be with trembling, because of the uncertainty of all things in it. To welcome Jesus Christ, and to submit to him, is our wisdom and interest. Let him be very dear and precious; love him above all, love him in sincerity, love him much, as she did, to whom much was forgiven, and, in token of it, kissed his feet, ( Luke 7:38 ) . And with a kiss of loyalty take this yoke upon you, and give up yourselves to be governed by his laws, disposed of by his providence, and entirely devoted to his cause. Unbelief is a sin against the remedy. It will be utter destruction to yourselves; lest ye perish in the way of your sins, and from the way of your vain hopes; lest your way perish, lest you prove to have missed the way of happiness. Christ is the way; take heed lest ye be cut off from Him as your way to God. They thought themselves in the way; but neglecting Christ, they perish from it. Blessed will those be in the day of wrath, who, by trusting in Christ, have made him their Refuge.
Psalms 2:1-12. The number and authorship of this Psalm are stated ( Acts 4:25 , 13:33 ). Though the warlike events of David's reign may have suggested its imagery, the scenes depicted and the subjects presented can only find a fulfilment in the history and character of Jesus Christ, to which, as above cited and in Hebrews 1:5 , 5:5 , the New Testament writers most distinctly testify. In a most animated and highly poetical style, the writer, in "four stanzas of three verses each," sets forth the inveterate and furious, though futile, hostility of men to God and His anointed, God's determination to carry out His purpose, that purpose as stated more fully by His Son, the establishment of the Mediatorial kingdom, and the imminent danger of all who resist, as well as the blessing of all who welcome this mighty and triumphant king.
1. Why do the heathen, &c.--Beholding, in prophetic vision, the peoples and nations, as if in a tumultuous assembly, raging with a fury like the raging of the sea, designing to resist God's government, the writer breaks forth into an exclamation in which are mingled surprise at their folly, and indignation at their rebellion.
heathen--nations generally, not as opposed to Jews.
the people--or, literally, "peoples," or races of men.
2. The kings and rulers lead on their subjects.
set themselves--take a stand.
take counsel--literally, "sit together," denoting their deliberation.
anointed--Hebrew, "Messiah"; Greek, "Christ" ( John 1:41 ). Anointing, as an emblem of the gifts of the Holy Spirit, was conferred on prophets ( Isaiah 6:1 ); priests ( Exodus 30:30 ); and kings ( 1 Samuel 10:1 , 16:13 , 1 Kings 1:39 ). Hence this title well suited Him who holds all these offices, and was generally used by the Jews before His coming, to denote Him ( Daniel 9:26 ). While the prophet has in view men's opposition generally, he here depicts it in its culminating aspect as seen in the events of Christ's great trial. Pilate and Herod, and the rulers of the Jews ( Matthew 27:1 , Luke 23:1-25 ), with the furious mob, are vividly portrayed.
3. The rebellious purposes of men are more distinctly announced by this representation of their avowal in words, as well as actions.
bands . . . and . . . cords--denote the restraints of government.
4. By a figure whose boldness is only allowable to an inspired writer, God's conduct and language in view of this opposition are now related.
He that sitteth in the heavens--enthroned in quiet dignities (compare Psalms 29:10 , Isaiah 40:22 ).
shall laugh--in supreme contempt; their vain rage excites His derision. He is still the Lord, literally, "Sovereign," though they rebel.
5. Then shall he speak--His righteous indignation as well as contempt is roused. For God to speak is for Him to act, for what He resolves He will do ( Genesis 1:3 , Psalms 33:9 ).
vex them--agitate or terrify them ( Psalms 83:15 ).
6. The purpose here declared, in its execution, involves their overthrow.
Yet--literally, "and," in an adversative sense.
I have set--anointed, or firmly placed, with allusion in the Hebrew to "casting an image in a mould." The sense is not materially varied in either case.
my king--appointed by Me and for Me ( Numbers 27:18 ).
upon my holy hill of Zion--Zion, selected by David as the abode of the ark and the seat of God's visible residence ( 1 Kings 8:1 ); as also David, the head of the Church and nation, and type of Christ, was called holy, and the Church itself came to be thus named ( Psalms 9:11 , 51:18 , 99:2 , Isaiah 8:18 , 18:7 , &c.).
7. The king thus constituted declares the fundamental law of His kingdom, in the avowal of His Sonship, a relation involving His universal dominion.
this day have I begotten thee--as 2 Samuel 7:14 , "he shall be My son," is a solemn recognition of this relation. The interpretation of this passage to describe the inauguration of Christ as Mediatorial King, by no means impugns the Eternal Sonship of His divine nature. In Acts 13:33 , Paul's quotation does not imply an application of this passage to the resurrection; for "raised up" in Acts 13:32 is used as in Acts 2:30 , 3:22 , &c., to denote bringing Him into being as a man; and not that of resurrection, which it has only when, as in Acts 2:34 , allusion is made to His death ( Romans 1:4 ). That passage says He was declared as to His divine nature to be the Son of God, by the resurrection, and only teaches that that event manifested a truth already existing. A similar recognition of His Sonship is introduced in Hebrews 5:5 , by these ends, and by others in Matthew 3:17 , 17:5 .
8. The hopes of the rebels are thus overthrown, and not only so; the kingdom they opposed is destined to be coextensive with the earth.
heathen--or, "nations" ( Psalms 2:1 ).
and the uttermost parts of the earth--( Psalms 22:27 ); denotes universality.
9. His enemies shall be subject to His terrible power ( Job 4:9 , 2 Thessalonians 2:8 ), as His people to His grace ( Psalms 110:2 Psalms 110:3 ).
rod of iron--denotes severity ( Revelation 2:27 ).
a potter's vessel--when shivered cannot be mended, which will describe utter destruction.
10-12. kings . . . judges--For rulers generally ( Psalms 148:11 ), who have been leaders in rebellion, should be examples of penitent submission, and with fear for His terrible judgments, mingled with trust in His mercy, acknowledge--
12. Kiss the Son--the authority of the Son.
perish from the way--that is, suddenly and hopelessly.
kindled but a little--or, "in a little time."
put their trust in him--or take refuge in Him ( Psalms 5:11 ). Men still cherish opposition to Christ in their hearts and evince it in their lives. Their ruin, without such trust, is inevitable ( Hebrews 10:29 ), while their happiness in His favor is equally sure.

Skinny Jeans
Serious sizing issue
I bought these and the grey skinny jeans in size 12 regular for my son, who is slim and tall, with a 26.5" waist. The recommended waist size for 12 is 26-27". These pants are falling off of him, and even with the adjustable waist, I couldn't get them to stay on him. Out of curiosity, I measured the waist, and it is 30 inches! There is no way that he will ever grow into these, and in fact that waist size is larger than even the size 16. How are these skinny jeans? I would ask that the size charts reflect the sizing of the pants more accurately, since it is a huge waste of time and effort to order, wait, and have to return pants. On the plus side, they were the right length.

Esther chosen queen. (1-20) Mordecai discovers a plot against the king. (21-23)
Verses 1-20 We see to what absurd practices those came, who were destitute of Divine revelation, and what need there was of the gospel of Christ, to purify men from the lusts of the flesh, and to bring them back to the original institution of marriage. Esther was preferred as queen. Those who suggest that Esther committed sin to come at this dignity, do not consider the custom of those times and countries. Every one that the king took was married to him, and was his wife, though of a lower rank. But how low is human nature sunk, when such as these are the leading pursuits and highest worldly happiness of men! Disappointment and vexation must follow; and he most wisely consults his enjoyment, even in this present life, who most exactly obeys the precepts of the Divine law. But let us turn to consider the wise and merciful providence of God, carrying on his deep but holy designs in the midst of all this. And let no change in our condition be a pretext for forgetting our duties to parents, or the friends who have stood in their place.
Verses 21-23 Good subjects must not conceal any bad design they know of against the prince, or the public peace. Mordecai was not rewarded at the time, but a remembrance was written. Thus, with respect to those who serve Christ, though their recompence is not till the resurrection of the just, yet an account is kept of their work of faith and labour of love, which God is not unrighteous to forget. The servant of God must be faithful to every trust, and watchful for those who employ him. If he appear to be neglected now, he will be remembered hereafter. None of our actions can be forgotten; even our most secret thoughts are written in lasting registers, ( Revelation 20:12 ) .
Esther 2:1-20 . ESTHER CHOSEN TO BE QUEEN.
1-3. After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was appeased--On recovering from the violent excitement of his revelry and rage, the king was pierced with poignant regret for the unmerited treatment he had given to his beautiful and dignified queen. But, according to the law, which made the word of a Persian king irrevocable, she could not be restored. His counsellors, for their own sake, were solicitous to remove his disquietude, and hastened to recommend the adoption of all suitable means for gratifying their royal master with another consort of equal or superior attractions to those of his divorced queen. In the despotic countries of the East the custom obtains that when an order is sent to a family for a young damsel to repair to the royal palace, the parents, however unwilling, dare not refuse the honor for their daughter; and although they know that when she is once in the royal harem, they will never see her again, they are obliged to yield a silent and passive compliance. On the occasion referred to, a general search was commanded to be made for the greatest beauties throughout the empire, in the hope that, from their ranks, the disconsolate monarch might select one for the honor of succeeding to the royal honors of Vashti. The damsels, on arrival at the palace, were placed under the custody of "Hege, the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women," that is, the chief eunuch, usually a repulsive old man, on whom the court ladies are very dependent, and whose favor they are always desirous to secure.
5. Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew--Mordecai held some office about the court. But his "sitting at the king's gate" ( Esther 2:21 ) does not necessarily imply that he was in the humble condition of a porter; for, according to an institute of Cyrus, all state officers were required to wait in the outer courts till they were summoned into the presence chamber. He might, therefore, have been a person of some official dignity. This man had an orphan cousin, born during the exile, under his care, who being distinguished by great personal beauty, was one of the young damsels taken into the royal harem on this occasion. She had the good fortune at once to gain the good will of the chief eunuch ( Esther 2:9 ). Her sweet and amiable appearance made her a favorite with all who looked upon her ( Esther 2:15 , last clause). Her Hebrew name was Hadassah, that is, "myrtle," which, on her introduction into the royal harem, was changed to Esther, that is, the star Venus, indicating beauty and good fortune [GESENIUS].
11. Mordecai walked every day before the court of the women's house--The harem is an inviolable sanctuary, and what is transacted within its walls is as much a secret to those without as if they were thousands of miles away. But hints were given him through the eunuchs.
12. Now when every maid's turn was come to go in to king Ahasuerus--A whole year was spent in preparation for the intended honor. Considering that this took place in a palace, the long period prescribed, together with the profusion of costly and fragrant cosmetics employed, was probably required by state etiquette.
17. the king loved Esther above all the women--The choice fell on Esther, who found favor in the eyes of Ahasuerus. He elevated her to the dignity of chief wife, or queen. The other competitors had apartments assigned them in the royal harem, and were retained in the rank of secondary wives, of whom Oriental princes have a great number.
he set the royal crown upon her head--This consisted only of a purple ribbon, streaked with white, bound round the forehead. The nuptials were celebrated by a magnificent entertainment, and, in honor of the auspicious occasion, "he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king." The dotation of Persian queens consisted in consigning to them the revenue of certain cities, in various parts of the kingdom, for defraying their personal and domestic expenditure. Some of these imposts the king remitted or lessened at this time.
Esther 2:21-23 . MORDECAI, DISCOVERING A TREASON, IS RECORDED IN THE CHRONICLES.
21. In those days . . . two of the king's chamberlains . . . were wroth and sought to lay hand on the king, &c.--This secret conspiracy against the king's life probably arose out of revenge for the divorce of Vashti, in whose interest, and at whose instigation, these eunuchs may have acted. Through the vigilance of Mordecai, whose fidelity, however, passed unnoticed, the design was frustrated, while the conspirators were condemned to be executed and as the matter was recorded in the court annals, it became the occasion afterwards of Mordecai's preferment to the place of power and influence for which, in furtherance of the national interests of the Jews, divine providence intended him.

The nations left to prove Israel. (1-7) Othniel delivers Israel. (8-11) Ehud delivers Israel from Eglon. (12-30) Shamgar delivers and judges Israel. (31)
Verses 1-7 As the Israelites were a type of the church on earth, they were not to be idle and slothful. The Lord was pleased to try them by the remains of the devoted nations they spared. Temptations and trials detect the wickedness of the hearts of sinners; and strengthen he graces of believers in their daily conflict with Satan, sin, and this evil world. They must live in this world, but they are not of it, and are forbidden to conform to it. This marks the difference between the followers of Christ and mere professors. The friendship of the world is more fatal than its enmity; the latter can only kill the body, but the former murders many precious souls.
Verses 8-11 The first judge was Othniel: even in Joshua's time Othniel began to be famous. Soon after Israel's settlement in Canaan their purity began to be corrupted, and their peace disturbed. But affliction makes those cry to God who before would scarcely speak to him. God returned in mercy to them for their deliverance. The Spirit of the Lord came upon Othniel. The Spirit of wisdom and courage to qualify him for the service, and the Spirit of power to excite him to it. He first judged Israel, reproved and reformed them, and then went to war. Let sin at home be conquered, that worst of enemies, then enemies abroad will be more easily dealt with. Thus let Christ be our Judge and Lawgiver, then he will save us.
Verses 12-30 When Israel sins again, God raises up a new oppressor. The Israelites did ill, and the Moabites did worse; yet because God punishes the sins of his own people in this world, Israel is weakened, and Moab strengthened against them. If lesser troubles do not do the work, God will send greater. When Israel prays again, God raises up Ehud. As a judge, or minister of Divine justice, Ehud put to death Eglon, the king of Moab, and thus executed the judgments of God upon him as an enemy to God and Israel. But the law of being subject to principalities and powers in all things lawful, is the rule of our conduct. No such commissions are now given; to pretend to them is to blaspheme God. Notice Ehud's address to Eglon. What message from God but a message of vengeance can a proud rebel expect? Such a message is contained in the word of God; his ministers are boldly to declare it, without fearing the frown, or respecting the persons of sinners. But, blessed be God, they have to deliver a message of mercy and of free salvation; the message of vengeance belongs only to those who neglect the offers of grace. The consequence of this victory was, that the land had rest eighty years. It was a great while for the land to rest; yet what is that to the saints' everlasting rest in the heavenly Canaan.
Verse 31 The side of the country which lay south-west, was infested by the Philistines. God raised up Shamgar to deliver them; having neither sword nor spear, he took an ox-goad, the instrument next at hand. God can make those serviceable to his glory and to his church's good, whose birth, education, and employment, are mean and obscure. It is no matter what the weapon is, if God directs and strengthens the arm. Often he works by unlikely means, that the excellency of the power may appear to be of God.
Judges 3:1-4 . NATIONS LEFT TO PROVE ISRAEL.
1. these are the nations which the Lord left, to prove Israel--This was the special design of these nations being left, and it evinces the direct influence of the theocracy under which the Israelites were placed. These nations were left for a double purpose: in the first instance, to be instrumental, by their inroads, in promoting the moral and spiritual discipline of the Israelites; and also to subserve the design of making them acquainted with war, in order that the young, more especially, who were total strangers to it, might learn the use of weapons and the art of wielding them.
Judges 3:5-7 . BY COMMUNION WITH THESE THE ISRAELITES COMMIT IDOLATRY.
5-7. the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites--The two peoples by degrees came to be on habits of intercourse. Reciprocal alliances were formed by marriage till the Israelites, relaxing the austerity of their principles, showed a growing conformity to the manners and worship of their idolatrous neighbors.
Judges 3:8-11 . OTHNIEL DELIVERS ISRAEL.
8-11. sold them--that is, "delivered them"
into the hand of Chushan-rishathaim--or, Chushan, "the wicked." This name had been probably given him from his cruel and impious character.
served Chushan-rishathaim eight years--by the payment of a stipulated tribute yearly, the raising of which must have caused a great amount of labor and privation.
9. when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord--In their distress they had recourse to earnest prayer, accompanied by humble and penitent confession of their errors. Judges 1:13 ). His military experience qualified him for the work, while the gallant exploits he was known to have performed, gained him the full confidence of his countrymen in his ability as a leader.
10. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him and he judged Israel, and went out to war--Impelled by a supernatural influence, he undertook the difficult task of government at this national crisis--addressing himself to promote a general reformation of manners, the abolition of idolatry, and the revival of pure religion. After these preliminary measures, he collected a body of choice warriors to expel the foreign oppressors.
the Lord delivered Chushan-rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed against Chushan-rishathaim--No details are given of this war, which, considering the resources of so potent a monarch, must have been a determined struggle. But the Israelitish arms were crowned through the blessing of God with victory, and Canaan regained its freedom and independence.
11. Othniel . . . died--How powerful the influence of one good man is, in church or state, is best found in his loss [BISHOP HALL].
Judges 3:12-30 . EHUD SLAYS EGLON.
12-14. the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord--The Israelites, deprived of the moral and political influences of Othniel, were not long in following their native bias to idolatry.
the Lord strengthened Eglon the king of Moab--The reigning monarch's ambition was to recover that extensive portion of his ancient territory possessed by the Israelites. In conjunction with his neighbors, the Ammonites and the Amalekites, sworn enemies of Israel, he first subjected the eastern tribes; then crossing the Jordan, he made a sudden incursion on western Canaan, and in virtue of his conquests, erected fortifications in the territory adjoining Jericho [JOSEPHUS], to secure the frontier, and fixed his residence there. This oppressor was permitted, in the providence of God, to triumph for eighteen years.
15. Ehud the son of Gera--descended from Gera, one of Benjamin's sons ( Genesis 46:21 ).
left-handed--This peculiarity distinguished many in the Benjamite tribe ( Judges 20:16 ). But the original word is rendered in some versions "both-handed," a view countenanced by 1 Chronicles 12:2 .
by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab--the yearly tribute, which, according to Eastern fashion, would be borne with ostentatious ceremony and offered ( Judges 3:18 ) by several messengers.
16. Ehud made him a dagger . . . and he did gird it . . . upon his right thigh--The sword was usually worn on the left side; so that Ehud's was the more likely to escape detection.
19. quarries--rather, "graven images" ( Deuteronomy 7:25 , Jeremiah 8:19 , 51:52 ); statues of Moabite idols, the sight of which kindled the patriotic zeal of Ehud to avenge this public insult to Israel on its author.
I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence--"Privacy"--a signal for all to withdraw.
20. a summer parlour--Hebrew, "chamber of cooling"--one of those retired edifices which Oriental grandees usually have in their gardens, and in which they repose during the heat of the day.
21-26. Ehud put forth his left hand--The whole circumstance of this daring act--the death of Eglon without a shriek, or noise--the locking of the doors--the carrying off the key--the calm, unhurried deportment of Ehud--show the strength of his confidence that he was doing God service.
27. he blew a trumpet in the mountain of Ephraim--summoned to arms the people of that mountainous region, which, adjoining the territory of Benjamin, had probably suffered most from the grievous oppression of the Moabites.
28. they went down after him, and took the escape to the Moabite coast, and by the slaughter of ten thousand men [ Judges 3:29 ], Ehud rescued his country from a state of ignominious vassalage.
31. after him was Shamgar--No notice is given of the tribe or family of this judge; and from the Philistines being the enemy that roused him into public service, the suffering seems to have been local--confined to some of the western tribes.
slew . . . six hundred men with an oxgoad--This instrument is eight feet long and about six inches in circumference. It is armed at the lesser end with a sharp prong for driving the cattle, and on the other with a small iron paddle for removing the clay which encumbers the plough in working. Such an instrument, wielded by a strong arm, would do no mean execution. We may suppose, however, for the notice is very fragmentary, that Shamgar was only the leader of a band of peasants, who by means of such implements of labor as they could lay hold of at the moment, achieved the heroic exploit recorded.
