Vicky Boyd, Staff WriterTomatoes are one of those produce items that elicit passionate feelings among many consumers.
I wrote a story and shot an accompanying video about the University of Florida's Tasti-Lee tomato variety in October 2011 that still is one of the most widely commented and viewed on the website of Citrus + Vegetable, a sister publication of The Packer.
The article still draws debate about whether the Tasti-Lee, which has a deep red color and a taste similar to homegrown tomatoes, is better than the UglyRipe from Santa Sweets, Plant City, Fla., or one from EuroFresh Farms, Willcox, Ariz.
Regardless of the opinion, it shows that consumers are clamoring for flavor, and vegetable seed companies and breeders are taking note.
Creve Couer, Mo.-based Monsanto Co.'s vegetable division has been collaborating with Harry Klee, a University of Florida molecular horticulturist, on tomato flavor.
Flavor isn't just about sugar levels or brix, said Sekhar Boddupalli, Monsanto Co. vegetable global consumer research and development lead in Woodland, Calif.
It's a complicated mix of other chemical components as well as appearance, smell, texture and mouth feel.
Klee recently published research outlining the more than 400 different compounds he's identified that impart flavor to tomatoes.
Monsanto also has conducted consumer sensory panels with more than 150 heirloom tomato varieties to find the highest rated ones. From there, the company delves into the genetics to find out what makes them so tasty.
The information, which has been incorporated into its tomato breeding efforts, has yielded one of its first results — the Ventero, a deep red, intensely flavored cherry type with long shelf life that's marketed in Europe.
Jay Scott, the University of Florida breeder that led development of the original Tasti-Lee, is working on a new and improved variety.
But consumers and retailers already have taken note of his original release.
Deardorff Family Farms, Oxnard, Calif., a West Coast grower of Tasti-Lee, showed it off at United Fresh 2013, May 14-16 in San Diego.
Chef Sevan Abdessian of Recess restaurant in Glendale created a snack using a slice of the Tasti-Lee, some burrata — an Italian cheese similar to mozzarella — and micro-basil plants.

1998 Malibu stalling & hesitation
My '98 Malibu LS has 109K miles on it. A few weeks ago, the engine was tapping the car was hesitating (while in gear), and that same day, it stalled going down a hill. The oil was 1/2 quart low, so adding oil made the tapping stop. Since then, it has been stalling more frequently. When it begins to hesitate, I have to give it gas to keep it from stalling. It's pretty much a guarantee that I won't make it up a hill without stalling, but it'll also stall on level. I've replaced the fuel & air filters. Any suggestions on what it could be? There are no warning lights on.
malicrap Posts: 4the transmission is located on the drivers side of the engine down low, i have an 98 and the dipstick is white, that is if it is clean! usually the tranny is pretty good i heard. I had a hesitation problem, it also jerked at lights when i stopped in D, i did a check over and turned out it was just a spark plug on the rear side of the block, the hardest one to get at go figure. If the tranny is not full then you have to get under the car and pull a small bolt from the side of the tranny, making sure the car is level you add fluid in with a funnel and hose till it spills out, then it is full, it can be messy.
hope this helps -
timotay Posts: 1I am having almost the same problems with my Malibu. When I come to a stop almost everytime within 3 seconds, it stalls. Sometimes if I am quick enough and put it into neutral I'm ok, but not all the time, it will stall in neutral as well. I have changed the Throtle Posisition Sensor, air filter, fuel filter even took out the auto start. Please let me know if you find a fix...Thanks

No early resolution in sight for Brian Urlacher
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com March 13, 2013 11:17PM
Brian Urlacher, Joe Hawley
Related Stories
Bears general manager Phil Emery said Wednesday that talks are ongoing with some of their unrestricted free agents — notably linebacker Brian Urlacher — but admitted that his team is "tight against the [salary] cap."
What that means for Urlacher is unknown. The Bears have approached Urlacher about returning for his 14th season, but there haven't really been any concrete developments since Urlacher's representatives sent contract parameters to the Bears last week.
One popular theory is that the Bears are waiting for the free-agent market to set Urlacher's value before they respond and a potential deal can be worked out.
Coach Marc Trestman has liked what he has seen on film from Urlacher, who turns 35 in May.
"I think that Brian is a very, very capable player," Trestman said. "I'm excited about him being part of this football team, if that happens, certainly."
Trestman has had a number of discussions with Urlacher.
"We're very respectful of his position, obviously, as it relates to this team and to the community," Trestman said. "We know that."
Would Trestman like Urlacher's situation resolved soon?
"Those things just happen in the course of time," he said. "I trust that the parties involved in the resolution process are doing their best to try to get it done for Brian. As far as that goes, I don't know what the timetable is [as to] when that happens."
Talking trades
Emery said adding left tackle Jermon Bushrod and tight end Martellus Bennett will "open up the draft" for the Bears to "also add to [their] weapons."
The Bears have the 20th pick and are open to trading down for more selections. They don't have a third-rounder because of last year's trade for receiver Brandon Marshall.
"[Signing them is] going to give us so much flexibility," Emery said. "To put it bluntly, we're open for business. If teams want to approach us about trading back, we're all ears. We're not going to pass up on a really good player at 20 that we feel will have an immediate impact on winning right now. But certainly the draft has strengths, and if we have the opportunity to pull back so that we can collect picks, we're very open to that."
Looking elsewhere
Other players the Bears saw become UFAs this week are beginning to meet with other teams.
Sources said linebacker Nick Roach is in Oakland meeting with the Raiders, and guard Lance Louis has a meeting with an undisclosed team.
Trestman indicated that Louis and right tackle Jonathan Scott (also a UFA) would be in the mix for starting positions if they returned to the Bears.
Linebacker Geno Hayes, a backup last year for the Bears, signed a two-year deal with the Jaguars.

The Hebrews are urged to go forward in the doctrine of Christ, and the consequences of apostacy, or turning back, are described. (1-8) The apostle expresses satisfaction, as to the most of them. (9,10) And encourages them to persevere in faith and holiness. (11-20)
Verses 1-8 Every part of the truth and will of God should be set before all who profess the gospel, and be urged on their hearts and consciences. We should not be always speaking about outward things; these have their places and use, but often take up too much attention and time, which might be better employed. The humbled sinner who pleads guilty, and cries for mercy, can have no ground from this passage to be discouraged, whatever his conscience may accuse him of. Nor does it prove that any one who is made a new creature in Christ, ever becomes a final apostate from him. The apostle is not speaking of the falling away of mere professors, never convinced or influenced by the gospel. Such have nothing to fall away from, but an empty name, or hypocritical profession. Neither is he speaking of partial declinings or backslidings. Nor are such sins meant, as Christians fall into through the strength of temptations, or the power of some worldly or fleshly lust. But the falling away here mentioned, is an open and avowed renouncing of Christ, from enmity of heart against him, his cause, and people, by men approving in their minds the deeds of his murderers, and all this after they have received the knowledge of the truth, and tasted some of its comforts. Of these it is said, that it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance. Not because the blood of Christ is not sufficient to obtain pardon for this sin; but this sin, in its very nature, is opposite to repentance and every thing that leads to it. If those who through mistaken views of this passage, as well as of their own case, fear that there is no mercy for them, would attend to the account given of the nature of this sin, that it is a total and a willing renouncing of Christ, and his cause, and joining with his enemies, it would relieve them from wrong fears. We should ourselves beware, and caution others, of every approach near to a gulf so awful as apostacy; yet in doing this we should keep close to the word of God, and be careful not to wound and terrify the weak, or discourage the fallen and penitent. Believers not only taste of the word of God, but they drink it in. And this fruitful field or garden receives the blessing. But the merely nominal Christian, continuing unfruitful under the means of grace, or producing nothing but deceit and selfishness, was near the awful state above described; and everlasting misery was the end reserved for him. Let us watch with humble caution and prayer as to ourselves.
Verses 9-10 There are things that are never separated from salvation; things that show the person to be in a state of salvation, and which will end in eternal salvation. And the things that accompany salvation, are better things than ever any dissembler or apostate enjoyed. The works of love, done for the glory of Christ, or done to his saints for Christ's sake, from time to time, as God gives occasion, are evident marks of a man's salvation; and more sure tokens of saving grace given, than the enlightenings and tastings spoken of before. No love is to be reckoned as love, but working love; and no works are right works, which flow not from love to Christ.
Verses 11-20 The hope here meant, is a sure looking for good things promised, through those promises, with love, desire, and valuing of them. Hope has its degrees, as faith also. The promise of blessedness God has made to believers, is from God's eternal purpose, settled between the eternal Father, Son, and Spirit. These promises of God may safely be depended upon; for here we have two things which cannot change, the counsel and the oath of God, in which it is not possible for God to lie; it would be contrary to his nature as well as to his will. And as He cannot lie; the destruction of the unbeliever, and the salvation of the believer, are alike certain. Here observe, those to whom God has given full security of happiness, have a title to the promises by inheritance. The consolations of God are strong enough to support his people under their heaviest trials. Here is a refuge for all sinners who flee to the mercy of God, through the redemption of Christ, according to the covenant of grace, laying aside all other confidences. We are in this world as a ship at sea, tossed up and down, and in danger of being cast away. We need an anchor to keep us sure and steady. Gospel hope is our anchor in the storms of this world. It is sure and stedfast, or it could not keep us so. The free grace of God, the merits and mediation of Christ, and the powerful influences of his Spirit, are the grounds of this hope, and so it is a stedfast hope. Christ is the object and ground of the believer's hope. Let us therefore set our affections on things above, and wait patiently for his appearance, when we shall certainly appear with him in glory.
Hebrews 6:1-14 . WARNING AGAINST RETROGRADING, WHICH SOON LEADS TO APOSTASY; ENCOURAGEMENT TO STEADFASTNESS FROM GOD'S FAITHFULNESS TO HIS WORD AND OATH.
1. Therefore--Wherefore: seeing that ye ought not now to be still "babes" ( Hebrews 5:11-14 ).
leaving--getting further forward than the elementary "principles." "As in building a house one must never leave the foundation: yet to be always laboring in 'laying the foundation' would be ridiculous" [CALVIN].
the principles of the doctrine--Greek, "the word of the beginning," that is, the discussion of the "first principles of Christianity ( Hebrews 5:12 ).
let us go on--Greek, "let us be borne forward," or "bear ourselves forward"; implying active exertion: press on. Paul, in teaching, here classifies himself with the Hebrew readers, or (as they ought to be) learners, and says, Let us together press forward.
perfection--the matured knowledge of those who are "of full age" ( Hebrews 5:14 ) in Christian attainments.
foundation of--that is, consisting in "repentance."
repentance from dead works--namely, not springing from the vital principle of faith and love toward God, and so counted, like their doer, dead before God. This repentance from dead works is therefore paired with "faith toward God." The three pairs of truths enumerated are designedly such as JEWISH believers might in some degree have known from the Old Testament, but had been taught more clearly when they became Christians. This accounts for the omission of distinct specification of some essential first principle of Christian truth. Hence, too, he mentions "faith toward God," and not explicitly faith toward Christ (though of course included). Repentance and faith were the first principles taught under the Gospel.
2. the doctrine of baptisms--paired with "laying on of hands," as the latter followed on Christian baptism, and answers to the rite of confirmation in Episcopal churches. Jewish believers passed, by an easy transition, from Jewish baptismal purifications ( Hebrews 9:10 , "washings"), baptism of proselytes, and John's baptism, and legal imposition of hands, to their Christian analogues, baptism, and the subsequent laying on of hands, accompanied by the gift of the Holy Ghost (compare Hebrews 6:4 ). Greek, "baptismoi," plural, including Jewish and Christian baptisms, are to be distinguished from baptisma, singular, restricted to Christian baptism. The six particulars here specified had been, as it were, the Christian Catechism of the Old Testament; and such Jews who had begun to recognize Jesus as the Christ immediately on the new light being shed on these fundamental particulars, were accounted as having the elementary principles of the doctrine of Christ [BENGEL]. The first and most obvious elementary instruction of Jews would be the teaching them the typical significance of their own ceremonial law in its Christian fulfilment [ALFORD].
resurrection, &c.--held already by the Jews from the Old Testament: confirmed with clearer light in Christian teaching or "doctrine."
eternal judgment--judgment fraught with eternal consequences either of joy or of woe.
3. will we do--So some of the oldest manuscripts read; but others, "Let us do." "This," that is, "Go on unto perfection."
if God permit--For even in the case of good resolutions, we cannot carry them into effect, save through God "working in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure" ( Philippians 2:13 ). The "for" in Hebrews 6:4 refers to this:I say, if God permit, for there are cases where God does not permit, for example, "it is impossible," &c. Without God's blessing, the cultivation of the ground does not succeed ( Hebrews 6:7 ).
4. We must "go on toward perfection"; for if we fall away, after having received enlightenment, it will be impossible to renew us again to repentance.
for those--"in the case of those."
once enlightened--once for all illuminated by the word of God taught in connection with "baptism" (to which, in Hebrews 6:2 , as once for all done," once enlightened" here answers); compare Ephesians 5:26 . This passage probably originated the application of the term "illumination" to baptism in subsequent times. Illumination, however, was not supposed to be the inseparable accompaniment of baptism: thus CHRYSOSTOM says, "Heretics have baptism, not illumination: they are baptized in body, but not enlightened in soul: as Simon Magus was baptized, but not illuminated." That "enlightened" here means knowledge of the word of truth, appears from comparing the same Greek word "illuminated," Hebrews 10:32 , with Hebrews 10:26 , where "knowledge of the truth" answers to it.
tasted of the heavenly gift--tasted for themselves. As "enlightened" refers to the sense of sight: so here taste follows. "The heavenly gift"; Christ given by the Father and revealed by the enlightening word preached and written: as conferring peace in the remission of sins; and as the Bestower of the gift of the Holy Spirit ( Acts 8:19 Acts 8:20 ),
made partakers of the Holy Ghost--specified as distinct from, though so inseparably connected with, "enlightened," and "tasted of the heavenly gift," Christ, as answering to "laying on of hands" after baptism, which was then generally accompanied with the impartation of the Holy Ghost in miraculous gifts.
5. tasted the good word of God--distinct from "tasted OF (genitive) the heavenly gift"; we do not yet enjoy all the fulness of Christ, but only have a taste OF Him, the heavenly gift now; but believers may taste the whole word (accusative case) of God already, namely, God's "good word of promise." The Old Testament promise of Canaan to Israel typified "the good word of God's" promise of the heavenly rest ( Hebrews 4:1-16 ). Therefore, there immediately follows the clause, "the powers of the world to come." As "enlightening" and "tasting of the heavenly gift," Christ, the Bread of Life, answers to FAITH: so "made partakers of the Holy Ghost," to CHARITY, which is the first-fruit of the Spirit: and "tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come," to HOPE. Thus the triad of privileges answers to the Trinity, the Father, Son, and Spirit, in their respective works toward us. "The world to come," is the Christian dispensation, viewed especially in its future glories, though already begun in grace here. The world to come thus stands in contrast to course of this world, altogether disorganized because God is not its spring of action and end. By faith, Christians make the world to come a present reality, though but a foretaste of the perfect future. The powers of this new spiritual world, partly exhibited in outward miracles at that time, and then, as now, especially consisting in the Spirit's inward quickening influences are the earnest of the coming inheritance above, and lead the believer who gives himself up to the Spirit to seek to live as the angels, to sit with Christ in heavenly places, to set the affections on things above, and not on things on earth, and to look for Christ's coming and the full manifestation of the world to come. This "world to come," in its future aspect, thus corresponds to "resurrection of the dead and eternal life" ( Hebrews 6:2 ), the first Christian principles which the Hebrew believers had been taught, by the Christian light being thrown back on their Old Testament for their instruction "The world to come," which, as to its "powers," exists already in the redeemed, will pass into a fully realized fact at Christ's coming ( Colossians 3:4 ).
6. If--Greek, "And (yet) have fallen away"; compare a less extreme falling or declension, Galatians 5:4 , "Ye are fallen from grace." Here an entire and wilful apostasy is meant; the Hebrews had not yet so fallen away; but he warns them that such would be the final result of retrogression, if, instead of "going on to perfection," they should need to learn again the first principles of Christianity ( Hebrews 6:1 ).
to renew them again--They have been "once" ( Hebrews 6:4 ) already renewed, or made anew, and now they need to be "renewed" over "again."
crucify to themselves the Son of God--"are crucifiying to themselves" Christ, instead of, like Paul, crucifying the world unto them by the cross of Christ ( Galatians 6:14 ). So in Hebrews 10:29 , "trodden under foot the Son of God, and counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith . . . sanctified, an unholy thing." "The Son of God," marking His dignity, shows the greatness of their offense.
put him to an open shame--literally, "make a public example of" Him, as if He were a malefactor suspended on a tree. What the carnal Israel did outwardly, those who fall away from light do inwardly, they virtually crucify again the Son of God; "they tear him out of the recesses of their hearts where He had fixed His abode and exhibit Him to the open scoffs of the world as something powerless and common" [BLEEK in ALFORD]. The Montanists and Novatians used this passage to justify the lasting exclusion from the Church of those who had once lapsed. The Catholic Church always opposed this view, and readmitted the lapsed on their repentance, but did not rebaptize them. This passage implies that persons may be in some sense "renewed," and yet fall away finally; for the words, "renew again," imply that they have been, in some sense, not the full sense, ONCE RENEWED by the Holy Ghost; but certainly not that they are "the elect," for these can never fall away, being chosen unto everlasting life ( John 10:28 ). The elect abide in Christ, hear and continuously obey His voice, and do not fall away. He who abides not in Christ, is cast forth as a withered branch; but he who abides in Him becomes more and more free from sin; the wicked one cannot touch him; and he by faith overcomes the world. A temporary faith is possible, without one thereby being constituted one of the elect ( mark 4:16 mark 4:17 ). At the same time it does not limit God's grace, as if it were "impossible" for God to reclaim even such a hardened rebel so as yet to look on Him whom he has pierced. The impossibility rests in their having known in themselves once the power of Christ's sacrifice, and yet now rejecting it; there cannot possibly be any new means devised for their renewal afresh, and the means provided by God's love they now, after experience of them, deliberately .and continuously reject; their conscience being served, and they "twice dead" ( Jude 1:12 ), are now past hope, except by a miracle of God's grace. "It is the curse of evil eternally to propagate evil" [THOLUCK]. "He who is led into the whole (?) compass of Christian experiences, may yet cease to abide in them; he who abides not in them, was, at the very time when he had those objective experiences, not subjectively true to them; otherwise there would have been fulfilled in him, "Whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance" ( Matthew 13:12 ), so that he would have abided in them and not have fallen away" [THOLUCK]. Such a one was never truly a Spirit-led disciple of Christ ( Romans 8:14-17 ). The sin against the Holy Ghost, though somewhat similar, is not identical with this sin; for that sin may be committed by those outside the Church (as in Matthew 12:24 Matthew 12:31 Matthew 12:32 ); this, only by those inside.
7. the earth--rather as Greek (no article), "land."
which drinketh in--Greek, "which has drunk in"; not merely receiving it on the surface. Answering to those who have enjoyed the privilege of Christian experiences, being in some sense renewed by the Holy Ghost; true alike of those who persevere and those who "fall away."
the rain that cometh oft upon it--not merely failing over it, or towards it, but falling and resting upon it so as to cover it (the Greek genitive, not the accusative). The "oft" implies, on God's part, the riches of His abounding grace ("coming" spontaneously, and often); and, on the apostate's part, the wilful perversity whereby he has done continual despite to the oft-repeated motions of the Spirit. Compare "How often," Matthew 23:37 . The rain of heaven falls both on the elect and the apostates.
bringeth forth--as the natural result of "having drunk in the rain." See above.
meet--fit. Such as the master of the soil wishes. The opposite of "rejected," Hebrews 6:8 .
by whom--rather as Greek, "for (that is, on account of) whom," namely, the lords of the soil; not the laborers, as English Version, namely, God and His Christ ( 1 Corinthians 3:9 ). The heart of man is the earth; man is the dresser; herbs are brought forth meet, not for the dresser, by whom, but for God, the owner of the soil, for whom it is dressed. The plural is general, the owners whoever they may be; here God.
receiveth--"partaketh of."
blessing--fruitfulness. Contrast God's curse causing unfruitfulness ( Genesis 3:17 Genesis 3:18 ); also spiritually ( Jeremiah 17:5-8 ).
from God--Man's use of means is vain unless God bless ( 1 Corinthians 3:6 1 Corinthians 3:7 ).
8. that which--rather as Greek (no article), "But if it (the 'land,' Hebrews 6:7 ) bear"; not so favorable a word as "bringeth forth," Hebrews 6:7 , said of the good soil.
briers--Greek, "thistles."
rejected--after having been tested; so the Greek implies. Reprobate . . . rejected by the Lord.
nigh unto cursing--on the verge of being given up to its own barrenness by the just curse of God. This "nigh" softens the severity of the previous "It is impossible," &c. ( Hebrews 6:4 Hebrews 6:6 ). The ground is not yet actually cursed.
whose--"of which (land) the end is unto burning," namely, with the consuming fire of the last judgment; as the land of Sodom was given to "brimstone, salt, and burning" ( Deuteronomy 29:23 ); so as to the ungodly ( Matthew 3:10 Matthew 3:12 , 7:19 , 13:30 , John 15:6 , 2 Peter 3:10 ). Jerusalem, which had so resisted the grace of Christ, was then nigh unto cursing, and in a few years was burned. Compare Matthew 22:7 , "burned up their city" an earnest of a like fate to all wilful abusers of God's grace ( Hebrews 10:26 Hebrews 10:27 ).
9. beloved--appositely here introduced; LOVE to you prompts me in the strong warnings I have just given, not that I entertain unfavorable thoughts of you; nay, I anticipate better things of you; Greek "the things which are better"; that ye are not thorn-bearing, or nigh unto cursing, and doomed unto burning, but heirs of salvation in accordance with God's faithfulness ( Hebrews 6:10 ).
we are persuaded--on good grounds; the result of proof. Compare Romans 15:14 , "I myself am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye are full of goodness." A confirmation of the Pauline authorship of this Epistle.
things that accompany--Greek, "things that hold by," that is, are close unto "salvation." Things that are linked unto salvation (compare Hebrews 6:19 ). In opposition to "nigh unto cursing."
though--Greek, "if even we thus speak." "For it is better to make you afraid with words, that ye may not suffer in fact."
10. not unrighteous--not unfaithful to His own gracious promise. Not that we have any inherent right to claim reward; for (1) a servant has no merit, as he only does that which is his bounden duty; (2) our best performances bear no proportion to what we leave undone; (3) all strength comes from God; but God has promised of His own grace to reward the good works of His people (already accepted through faith in Christ); it is His promise, not our merits, which would make it unrighteous were He not to reward His people's works. God will be no man's debtor.
your work--your whole Christian life of active obedience.
labour of love--The oldest manuscripts omit "labor of," which probably crept in from 1 Thessalonians 1:3 . As "love" occurs here, so "hope," Hebrews 6:11 , "faith," Hebrews 6:12 ; as in 1 Corinthians 13:13 : the Pauline triad. By their love he sharpens their hope and faith.
ye have showed--(Compare Hebrews 10:32-34 ).
toward his name--Your acts of love to the saints were done for His name's sake. The distressed condition of the Palestinian Christians appears from the collection for them. Though receiving bounty from other churches, and therefore not able to minister much by pecuniary help, yet those somewhat better off could minister to the greatest sufferers in their Church in various other ways (compare 2 Timothy 1:18 ). Paul, as elsewhere, gives them the utmost credit for their graces, while delicately hinting the need of perseverance, a lack of which had probably somewhat begun to show itself.
11. And--Greek, "But."
desire--Greek, "earnestly desire." The language of fatherly affection, rather than command.
every one of you--implying that all in the Palestinian churches had not shown the same diligence as some of those whom he praises in Hebrews 6:10 . "He cares alike for great and small, and overlooks none." "Every one of them," even those diligent in acts of LOVE ( Hebrews 6:10 ), needed to be stimulated to persevere in the same diligence with a view to the full assurance of HOPE unto the end. They needed, besides love, patient perseverance, resting on hope and faith ( Hebrews 10:36 , 13:7 ). Compare "the full assurance of faith," Hebrews 10:22 , Romans 4:21 , 1 Thessalonians 1:5 .
unto the end--the coming of Christ.
12. be not--Greek, "become not." In Hebrews 5:11 , he said, "Ye have become dull (Greek, 'slothful') of hearing"; here he warns them not to become "slothful absolutely," namely, also in mind and deed. He will not become slothful who keeps always the end in view; hope is the means of ensuring this.
followers--Greek, "imitators"; so in Ephesians 5:1 , Greek; 1 Corinthians 11:1 .
patience--Greek, "long-suffering endurance." There is the long-suffering patience, or endurance of love, 1 Corinthians 13:4 , and that of faith, Hebrews 6:15 .
them who . . . inherit the promises--Greek, "who are inheriting," &c.; to whom the promises are their inheritance. Not that they have actually entered on the perfect inheritance, which Hebrews 11:13 Hebrews 11:39 Hebrews 11:40 explicitly denies; though doubtless the dead in Christ have, in the disembodied soul, a foretaste of it; but "them (enumerated in Hebrews 11:2-40 ) who in every age have been, are, or shall be, inheritors of the promises"; of whom Abraham is an illustrious example ( Hebrews 6:13 ).
13. For--confirming the reasonableness of resting on "the promises" as infallibly sure, resting as they do on God's oath, by the instance of Abraham. "He now gives consolation, by the oath of God's grace, to those whom, in the second, third, and fourth chapters, he had warned by the oath of God's 'wrath.' The oath of wrath did not primarily extend its force beyond the wilderness; but the oath of grace is in force for ever" [BENGEL].
14. multiplying . . . multiply--Hebraism for superabundantly multiply.
thee--The increase of Abraham's seed is virtually an increase of himself. The argument here refers to Abraham himself as an example; therefore Paul quotes Genesis 22:17 , "thee," instead of "thy seed."
15. so--thus relying on the promise.
16. for confirmation--not to be joined, as English Version, to "an oath"; but to "an end" [ALFORD]. I prefer, "The oath is to them, in respect to confirmation (of one's solemn promise or covenant; as here, God's), an end of all contradiction (so the Greek is translated, Hebrews 12:3 ), or "gainsaying." This passage shows: (1) an oath is sanctioned even in the Christian dispensation as lawful; (2) that the limits to its use are, that it only be employed where it can put an end to contradiction in disputes, and for confirmation of a solemn promise.
17. Wherein--that is, Which being the case among men, God, in accommodation to their manner of confirming covenants, superadded to His sure word His oath: the "TWO immutable things" ( Hebrews 6:18 ).
willing . . . counsel--Greek, "willing . . . will"; words akin. Expressing the utmost benignity [BENGEL].
more abundantly--than had He not sworn. His word would have been amply enough; but, to make assurance doubly sure, He "interposed with an oath" (so the Greek). Literally, He acted as Mediator, coming between Himself and us; as if He were less, while He swears, than Himself by whom He swears (for the less among men usually swear by the greater). Dost thou not yet believe, thou that hearest the promise? [BENGEL].
heirs of promise--not only Abraham's literal, but also his spiritual, seed ( Galatians 3:29 ).
18. immutable--Translate, as in Hebrews 6:17 , "unchangeable."
impossible . . . to lie--"ever to lie"; this is the force of the Greek aorist [ALFORD]. His not being able to deny Himself is a proof, not of weakness, but of strength incomparable.
consolation--under doubts and fears, and so "encouragement," literally, "exhortation."
fled for refuge--as if from a shipwreck; or, as one fleeing to one of the six cities of refuge. Kadesh, that is, holy, implies the holiness of Jesus, our Refuge. Shechem, that is, shoulder, the government is upon his shoulder ( Isaiah 9:6 ). Hebron, that is, fellowship, believers are called into the fellowship of Christ. Bezer, that is, a fortress, Christ is so to all who trust in Him. Ramoth, that is, high, for Him hath God exalted with His right hand ( Acts 5:31 ). Golan, that is, joy, for in Him all the saints are justified and shall glory.
lay hold upon the hope--that is, the object of our hope, as upon a preservative from sinking.
set before us--as a prize for which we strive; a new image, namely, the race course ( Hebrews 12:1 Hebrews 12:2 ).
19. Hope is found represented on coins by an anchor.
sure and steadfast--sure in respect to us: steadfast, or "firm" [ALFORD], in itself. Not such an anchor as will not keep the vessel from tossing, or an anchor unsound or too light [THEOPHYLACT].
which entereth into that--that is the place
within the veil--two images beautifully combined: (1) The soul is the ship: the world the sea: the bliss beyond the world, the distant coast; the hope resting on faith, the anchor which prevents the vessel being tossed to and fro; the encouraging consolation through the promise and oath of God, the cable connecting the ship and anchor. (2) The world is the fore-court: heaven, the Holy of Holies; Christ, the High Priest going before us. so as to enable us, after Him. and through Him, to enter within the veil. ESTIUS explains, As the anchor does not stay in the waters, but enters the ground hidden beneath the waters, and fastens itself in it, so hope, our anchor of the soul, is not satisfied with merely coming to the vestibule, that is..is not content with merely earthly and visible goods, but penetrates even to those which are within the veil, namely. to the Holy of Holies. where it lays hold on God Himself. and heavenly goods. and fastens on them. "Hope, entering within heaven, hath made us already to be in the things promised to us, even while we are still below. and have not yet received them; such strength hone has. as to make those that are earthly to become heavenly." "The soul clings, as one in fear of shipwreck to an anchor, and sees not whither the cable of the anchor runs--where it is fastened: but she knows that it is fastened behind the veil which hides the future glory."
veil--Greek, "catapetasma": the second veil which shut in the Holiest Place. The outer veil was called by a distinct Greek term, calumma: "the second (that is, the inner) veil."
20. The absence of the Greek article requires ALFORD'S translation, "Where. As forerunner for us (that is, in our behalf), entered Jesus" [and is now: this last clause is implied in the 'where' of the Greek, which implies being IN a place: 'whither' is understood to 'entered,' taken out of 'where'; whither Jesus entered, and where He is now]. The "for us" implies that it was not for Himself. as God, He needed to enter there, but as our High Priest, representing and introducing us, His followers, opening the way to us, by His intercession with the Father. as the Aaronic high priest entered the Holiest Place once a year to make propitiation for the people. The first-fruits of our nature are ascended, and so the rest is sanctified. Christ's ascension is our promotion: and whither the glory of the Head has preceded. thither the hope of the body, too, is called. We ought to keep festal day, since Christ has taken up and set in the heavens the first-fruit of our lump, that is, the human flesh [CHRYSOSTOM]. As John Baptist was Christ's forerunner on earth, so Christ is ours in heaven.

Full Throttle
A Look at X-Wing (TM) with Gen Con Indy 2012 Champion Rory Klawien |
FFG World Championship Weekend | Published 30 October 2012 |
"Biggs, Wedge, let's close it up. We're going in. We're going in full throttle."
–Luke Skywalker, Star Wars: A New Hope
In less than two weeks, Rebel X-wings and Imperial TIEs will battle for the fate of the galaxy in the X-Wing™ World Championship Tournament!
Today, as we look forward to hosting the world's best squad leaders at the FFG World Championship Weekend, we're happy to share an interview with Gen Con's inaugural X-Wing tournament, Rory Klawien. He offers insights into everything from his tournament-winning strategy to getting into the game as a new player and his take on the first wave of single starfighter expansions.
Interview with Gen Con's X-Wing™ Tournament Winner, Rory Klawien
Winner of the inaugural X-Wing tournament, Rory Klawien
FFG: What preparations did you take to get ready for the tournament?
RK: Not as many as I would have liked. At Gen Con 2011, I had the opportunity to play the demo for about an hour or so. It was enough to get me hooked and somewhat familiar with a few of the mechanics, such as the "blind" movement planning phase.
I pre-read the rules when they were posted before Gen Con this year. Then, on Thursday, as soon as the Exhibit Hall opened I rushed right to the Fantasy Flight booth and purchased two Core Sets and about six expansion packs. My good friend and opponent in the finals, Jeff Shoemaker, and I spent about an hour reading the rules, setting up the game, decided on our first fleets, and played our first battle. That first battle, my first experience playing Rebel, did not go well for me at all. In fact, you could probably call it a rout. We talked a little strategy and adjusted our fleets. I reduced the upgrades on my X-wings and added a Y-wing. With the fleet changes and a different strategy to deal with the speed of the Imperial ships, the second game went much better and seemed more balanced.
FFG: How would you define the central strategy of your fleet?
RK: My central strategy was to put as many Rebel ships on the board as I could. I knew the Imperial fleets would most likely be large, so I wanted to be sure to limit the difference in the amount of shots each side would have. While I don't think numbers are everything, the limited time I had with the game before the tournament was not really enough to develop strategies that used squads of fewer more highly experienced pilots.
FFG: Obviously, your strategy worked during the tournament, but did it work pretty much exactly as you had intended and expected?
RK: Honestly, it worked better than I thought it would during the tournament. In part, this was due to the types of fleets I faced. I played all Rebel players during the first rounds of the tournament. A good majority of the fleets fielded only three, highly upgraded ships. This gave me the advantage in numbers. With an extra ship, my fleet had more shots each round to deal damage and more shields and hull points my opponents had to get through to defeat it. Furthermore, with the time limit, a lot of matches can come down to a points comparison to decide the winner. My points were spread out and protected by more shields while my opponents had more points invested in fewer ships.
Because of this, my strategy was often to focus fire on their most expensive ship, usually Wedge Antillies, in hopes of securing a high point deficit in case the match came down to time. Thanks to the high firepower of Rebel ships, however, none of my matches, save for the semi-final, were called on points.
FFG: What were some of the biggest surprises in the preliminary rounds?
RK: If I had not played the demo the year before, I would probably say the biggest surprise is how strategic the game is. Yes, the game uses dice and, yes, sometimes even the best strategy is foiled by these fickle eight-siders, but the use of movement dials and the fact maneuvers are kept secret until they are revealed, and thus too late to change, makes X-Wing every bit as tense, nerve wracking, and exciting as other great strategy games. However, the demo had already given me some insight into how fun and challenging this mechanic can be, so my biggest surprise was how useful the Ion Cannon Turret is. I did not have the points to upgrade my Y-wing with an Ion Cannon, but I played against a few of them and can say now that if the tournament had allowed 105 points, it would be my very next upgrade.
FFG: What would you say were the highlights of your preliminary rounds?
RK: I think one of the highlights was how much fun people were having. I can't even count the number of TIE fighter noises, blaster sounds, and Star Wars movie references that were being spoken during the middle of matches. Every few minutes you would hear someone say, "It came from behind," as an X-wing was taken out. That is not to say that some matches did not get intense, as I know a few of my own did, but in general, opponents were back to smiles and jokes quickly after the intense moments and between matches.
Players enjoying the action of the inaugural X-Wing tournament
FFG: Tell us about your final match.
RK: The final match was my favorite match of the day, not because it was the final or because I won, but because my opponent my very good friend, Jeff Shoemaker. It was nice to know that if I was going to lose, a good friend of mine was going to win.
My strategy for the final was simply "Kill Vader." I wanted to get Vader out of the fight because I had seen on Thursday how powerful he could be. I knew that Jeff usually came out fast from his deployment zone, so I decided to let him come to me, hopefully leading with Vader, and target him with everything I had as soon as possible.
Fortunately for me, the first rounds went nearly as good as I could have hoped. Jeff started by flying full speed straight forward. In the second round, I turned to face his oncoming ships and hoped that Jeff would advance Vader again, bringing him into combat range. To my relief, Vader continued forward and into the range of all of my X-wings. Of course, Vader got to fire first, but his shot did minimal damage. Then, my three X-wings fired on Vader, and I was able to get through his shields and take him out in the first round. My momentary joy in removing Vader from the battle quickly faded over the next few rounds as Jeff started swarming my ships, thinning my shields, and exchanged an Academy Pilot for a Rookie Pilot X-wing. At this point I was certain the game could still go anyway all things considered. Only when I had him down to one ship did I let myself start thinking about victory.
Rebel and Imperial starfighters engage in deadly combat
FFG: From your point of view, how would you qualify the impact of the first wave of single fighter expansions on the tournament?
RK: Well since my final strategy ended up being "Kill Vader" because of how powerful he can be in his TIE Advanced, that should tell you something. The TIE Advanced with its shields and upgrades gives the Imperial fleet some real teeth. Especially when one is piloted by Vader, it can be a game-changer.
On the other side you have the Y-wing. While I used the Y-Wing simply as some extra fire power and a damage sponge, I realized its true purpose when my opponents fielded it upgraded with the Ion Cannon Turret. The ability to control how your opponents will move in the next movement phase should not be underestimated.
FFG: What advice do you have for new players looking to get into the game?
RK: Play it, and play it some more. If you love Star Wars or strategy table top games, you are going to love this game. Don't get discouraged if the first few matches don't go your way. Change up a few things and try again. I feel that Imperial forces are a bit more forgiving for the beginning player, as movement is a huge part of the game, and the Imperials have plenty of it. However, there are numerous ship and pilot combinations already available on both sides that should allow a player to find a squad that will work with their play style and strategy and lead them to victory.

Damon Wayans
Known throughout the world for his no-holds-barred comedic genius, Damon Wayans wrapped five seasons of the hit ABC series, My Wife and Kids in 2005, which he co-created and executive produced. Currently in syndication worldwide, the series received numerous awards, including the 2002 People's Choice for Favorite New Television Comedy Series, and Favorite Male Performer in a New Television Series for his portrayal as patriarch Michael Kyle.
Damon Wayans is most fondly remembered for his three seasons as writer and co-star on the Emmy Award-winning series In Living Color. There, he created sketch characters like "Homey the Clown," "Handiman" and outrageously gay film critic Blaine from "Men on Film". His writing for the series earned him two personal Emmy® nominations.
In 2006 Damon Wayans created, executive produced and starred in the hilariously comedic sketch show The Underground. Additional television credits include the half-hour Foxsitcom Damon, in which he starred and executive produced, and the hour-long drama 413 Hope Street, which was nominated for a People's Choice Award.
He served as an executive producer on Waynehead, a Saturday morning animated cartoon for WB, which featured the voices of his siblings Kim, Marlon and Shawn Wayans. In 2008, the comedian announced the debut of "WayOutTV" with his vision to taking "In Living Color" to the Internet. Wayans described the venture as "In Living Color 2.0", where he would allow viewers to share, rate and leave comments on the sketches.On the big screen, Wayans has starred in Spike Lee's critically acclaimed film Bamboozled. He also starred and executive produced independent film, Harlem Aria. Other feature film credits include starring roles in Major Payne, Blankman and Mo Money, which he also wrote and executive produced. Wayans also starred in The Great White Hype, Celtic Pride, The Last Boy Scout, Earth Girls are Easy, I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, Colors, Punchline, Hollywood Shuffle,Roxanne and Beverly Hills Cop.
Wayans has enjoyed tremendous success in stand-up. After starting his career in 1982 touring the comedy club circuit, he landed a role as a featured player on the famed NBC series Saturday Night Live. Wayans went on to star in his own critically acclaimed HBO specials, One Night Stand, The Last Stand, Still Standing and WayOut.
Wayans is also a New York Times Bestselling author. In 1999, he penned "Bootleg," a humorous compilation of his observations on family, children, marriage and politics. The book was a tremendous success and quickly made the New York Times Bestseller List.
In May of 2010, Wayans shows a serious and empathetic side that he fabulously showcases in his debut novel, RED HATS, an utterly extraordinary novel that weaves inspiration and hope into an original storyline that immediately captivates readers with its powerful take on modern-day life.

We carry a variety of women's bathing suits in many designs and colors, from bikinis to tankinis. Trendsetting women enjoy the edgy styling of bathing suits for women from this assortment.

Two Piece Bathing Suit Features
Our womens bathing suits are perfect for the girl who loves to play in the surf and sand or lounge around the pool. Both the one-pieces and separates are equipped with features you can select according to your needs. Old Navy's halter top bathing suits are available with ties for adjustable support. Some of our swim skirts feature drawstring side hems for adjustable coverage. Do you require both optimum bust support and coverage?

Old Navy Two Piece Style Tips
Make your Old Navy swimsuit selections based on what activities you participate in and the level of modesty you require. Enjoy sunbathing by the pool? A string bikini is likely your best option. If you require more coverage, try a bandeau-style top and high-slung swim brief. Prefer to spend most of your time in the water? More coverage could mean more security. Look for a tankini top and a boy-short or swim-skirt bottom. Our stylish, trendy women's bathing suits look amazing with shorts, skirts and wraps. Many of our womens bathing suits also make great activewear options with their support and quick-drying properties.
Enjoy the latest fashion in bathing suits for women in the stylish, trendy looks from Old Navy.

Each diversion tunnel would be the width of four lanes and the height of a five-story building. To speed this effort, engineers contrived a jumbo drill built around the chassis of an International chain-drive truck by welding on a steel skeleton to support four platforms. Two platforms held miners and the other platforms carried racks of drill steel.

Literary America: Ten Places to Visit for National Author's Day
Posted: October 9, 2013 | Author: jwheeler1967 | Filed under: Authors and Poets, Books, history, Top 10 | Tags: alex haley, edgar allan poe, Ernest Hemingway, erskine caldwell, henry david thoreau, jack london, john steinbeck, laura ingalls wilder, mark twain, museums, national author's day, national parks, rowan oak, walden, walden pond, william faulkner | Comments OffMark your calendars and make some plans! November 1st is National Author's Day. In 1929, the General Federation of Women's Clubs created the day to honor America's writers; in 1949, the day was officially recognized by the U.S. Department of Congress. The resolution states, in part, that "[b]y celebrating author's day as a nation, we would not only show patriotism, loyalty and appreciation of the men and women who have made American literature possible but would also encourage and inspire others to give of themselves in making a better America."
Most of these historic places are privately staffed or state-run, meaning that even if the government shutdown continues, you should be able to visit these homes, museums, and locations:
1. Edgar Allan Poe Museum, Richmond, VA
Called "America's Shakespeare," Edgar Allan Poe created or mastered the short story, detective fiction, science fiction, lyric poetry and the horror story. His dark genius has invited children and adults to read and love literature for over 150 years.
2. Mark Twain Study, Elmira, New York
Built by Twain's father-in-law, Twain called this retreat "The Cozy Nest." It is located on the campus of Elmira College. Twain's grave is also located in the town of Elmira.

Courtesy Richard Bagdasarian Inc.Richard Bagdasarian Inc. is drawing power for its Mecca, Calif., packinghouse from a 300-kilowatt photovoltaic solar energy system.Richard Bagdasarian Inc. has begun drawing power for its Mecca, Calif., packinghouse from a new 300-kilowatt photovoltaic solar energy system.
"Adding solar energy to our sustainability matrix, which also includes using Tier 4 tractors in the field and packing our product in reusable containers as it goes to market, reflects our ultimate goal of responsibly lowering our carbon footprint," Nick Bozick, president and owner, said in a news release.
The solar technology uses dual-axis tracking technology rather than traditional flat, fixed solar plates. It is expected to displace 540 metric tons of carbon dioxide annually — equivalent to the annual consumption of electricity for 80 homes.
The company also plans to incorporate solar in several field pumping stations and other packing facilities.
