Christ enters Jerusalem. (1-11) He drives out those who profaned the temple. (12-17) The barren fig-tree cursed. (18-22) Jesus' discourse in the temple. (23-27) The parable of the two sons. (28-32) The parable of the wicked husbandmen. (33-46)
Verses 1-11 This coming of Christ was described by the prophet Zechariah, ( Zechariah 9:9 ) . When Christ would appear in his glory, it is in his meekness, not in his majesty, in mercy to work salvation. As meekness and outward poverty were fully seen in Zion's King, and marked his triumphal entrance to Jerusalem, how wrong covetousness, ambition, and the pride of life must be in Zion's citizens! They brought the ass, but Jesus did not use it without the owner's consent. The trappings were such as came to hand. We must not think the clothes on our backs too dear to part with for the service of Christ. The chief priests and the elders afterwards joined with the multitude that abused him upon the cross; but none of them joined the multitude that did him honour. Those that take Christ for their King, must lay their all under his feet. Hosanna signifies, Save now, we beseech thee! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! But of how little value is the applause of the people! The changing multitude join the cry of the day, whether it be Hosanna, or Crucify him. Multitudes often seem to approve the gospel, but few become consistent disciples. When Jesus was come into Jerusalem all the city was moved; some perhaps were moved with joy, who waited for the Consolation of Israel; others, of the Pharisees, were moved with envy. So various are the motions in the minds of men upon the approach of Christ's kingdom.
Verses 12-17 Christ found some of the courts of the temple turned into a market for cattle and things used in the sacrifices, and partly occupied by the money-changers. Our Lord drove them from the place, as he had done at his entering upon his ministry, ( John 2:13-17 ) . His works testified of him more than the hosannas; and his healing in the temple was the fulfilling the promise, that the glory of the latter house should be greater than the glory of the former. If Christ came now into many parts of his visible church, how many secret evils he would discover and cleanse! And how many things daily practised under the cloak of religion, would he show to be more suitable to a den of thieves than to a house of prayer!
Verses 18-22 This cursing of the barren fig-tree represents the state of hypocrites in general, and so teaches us that Christ looks for the power of religion in those who profess it, and the savour of it from those that have the show of it. His just expectations from flourishing professors are often disappointed; he comes to many, seeking fruit, and finds leaves only. A false profession commonly withers in this world, and it is the effect of Christ's curse. The fig-tree that had no fruit, soon lost its leaves. This represents the state of the nation and people of the Jews in particular. Our Lord Jesus found among them nothing but leaves. And after they rejected Christ, blindness and hardness grew upon them, till they were undone, and their place and nation rooted up. The Lord was righteous in it. Let us greatly fear the doom denounced on the barren fig-tree.
Verses 23-27 As our Lord now openly appeared as the Messiah, the chief priests and scribes were much offended, especially because he exposed and removed the abuses they encouraged. Our Lord asked what they thought of John's ministry and baptism. Many are more afraid of the shame of lying than of the sin, and therefore scruple not to speak what they know to be false, as to their own thoughts, affections, and intentions, or their remembering and forgetting. Our Lord refused to answer their inquiry. It is best to shun needless disputes with wicked opposers.
Verses 28-32 Parables which give reproof, speak plainly to the offenders, and judge them out of their own mouths. The parable of the two sons sent to work in the vineyard, is to show that those who knew not John's baptism to be of God, were shamed by those who knew it, and owned it. The whole human race are like children whom the Lord has brought up, but they have rebelled against him, only some are more plausible in their disobedience than others. And it often happens, that the daring rebel is brought to repentance and becomes the Lord's servant, while the formalist grows hardened in pride and enmity.
Verses 33-46 This parable plainly sets forth the sin and ruin of the Jewish nation; and what is spoken to convict them, is spoken to caution all that enjoy the privileges of the outward church. As men treat God's people, they would treat Christ himself, if he were with them. How can we, if faithful to his cause, expect a favourable reception from a wicked world, or from ungodly professors of Christianity! And let us ask ourselves, whether we who have the vineyard and all its advantages, render fruits in due season, as a people, as a family, or as separate persons. Our Saviour, in his question, declares that the Lord of the vineyard will come, and when he comes he will surely destroy the wicked. The chief priests and the elders were the builders, and they would not admit his doctrine or laws; they threw him aside as a despised stone. But he who was rejected by the Jews, was embraced by the Gentiles. Christ knows who will bring forth gospel fruits in the use of gospel means. The unbelief of sinners will be their ruin. But God has many ways of restraining the remainders of wrath, as he has of making that which breaks out redound to his praise. May Christ become more and more precious to our souls, as the firm Foundation and Cornerstone of his church. May we be willing to follow him, though despised and hated for his sake.
Matthew 21:1-9 . CHRIST'S TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. ( = 11:1-11 Luke 19:29-40 John 12:12-19 ).
For the exposition of this majestic scene--recorded, as will be seen, by all the
Matthew 21:10-22 . STIR ABOUT HIM IN THE CITY--SECOND CLEANSING OF THE TEMPLE, AND MIRACLES THERE--GLORIOUS VINDICATION OF THE CHILDREN'S TESTIMONY--THE BARREN FIG TREE CURSED, WITH LESSONS FROM IT. ( = 11:11-26 Luke 19:45-48 ).
Matthew 21:23-46 . THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS QUESTIONED AND THE REPLY--THE PARABLES OF THE TWO SONS, AND OF THE WICKED HUSBANDMAN. ( = mark 11:27-12 mark 11:12 Luke 20:1-19 ).
Now commences, as ALFORD remarks, that series of parables and discourses of our Lord with His enemies, in which He develops, more completely than ever before, His hostility to their hypocrisy and iniquity: and so they are stirred up to compass His death.
The Authority of Jesus Questioned, and the Reply ( Matthew 21:23-27 ).
23. By what authority doest thou these things!--referring particularly to the expulsion of the buyers and sellers from the temple, and who gave thee this authority?
24. And Jesus answered and said unto them, I also will ask you one thing, &c.
25. The baptism of John--meaning his whole mission and ministry, of which baptism was the proper character.
whence was it? from heaven, or of men?--What wisdom there was in this way of meeting their question will best appear by their reply.
If we shall say, From heaven; he will say unto us, Why did ye not then believe him?--"Why did ye not believe the testimony which he bore to Me, as the promised and expected Messiah?" for that was the burden of John's whole testimony.
26. But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people--rather, "the multitude." In Luke ( Luke 20:6 ) it is, "all the people will stone us."
for all hold John as a prophet--Crooked, cringing hypocrites! No wonder Jesus gave you no answer.
27. And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell--Evidently their difficulty was, how to answer, so as neither to shake their determination to reject the claims of Christ nor damage their reputation with the people. For the truth itself they cared nothing whatever.
Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things--What composure and dignity of wisdom does our Lord here display, as He turns their question upon themselves, and, while revealing His knowledge of their hypocrisy, closes their mouths! Taking advantage of the surprise, silence, and awe produced by this reply, our Lord followed it up immediately by the two following parables.
Parable of the Two Sons ( Matthew 21:28-32 ).
28. But what think ye? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first and said, Son, go work to-day in my vineyard--for true religion is a practical thing, a "bringing forth fruit unto God."
29. He answered and said, I will not--TRENCH notices the rudeness of this answer, and the total absence of any attempt to excuse such disobedience, both characteristic; representing careless, reckless sinners resisting God to His face.
30. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir--"I, sir." The emphatic "I," here, denotes the self-righteous complacency which says, "God, I thank thee that I am not as other men" ( Luke 18:11 ).
and went not--He did not "afterward repent" and refuse to go; for there was here no intention to go. It is the class that "say and do not" ( Matthew 23:3 )--a falseness more abominable to God, says STIER, than any "I will not."
31. Whether of them twain did the will of his Father? They say unto him, The first--Now comes the application.
Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That the publicans and the harlots go--or, "are going"; even now entering, while ye hold back.
into the kingdom of God before you--The publicans and the harlots were the first son, who, when told to work in the Lord's vineyard, said, I will not; but afterwards repented and went. Their early life was a flat and flagrant refusal to do what they were commanded; it was one continued rebellion against the authority of God. The chief priests and the elders of the people, with whom our Lord was now speaking, were the second son, who said, I go, sir, but went not. They were early called, and all their life long professed obedience to God, but never rendered it; their life was one of continued disobedience.
32. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness--that is, calling you to repentance; as Noah is styled "a preacher of righteousness" ( 2 Peter 2:5 ), when like the Baptist he warned the old world to "flee from the wrath to come."
and ye believed him not--They did not reject him; nay, they "were willing for a season to rejoice in his light" ( John 5:35 ); but they would not receive his testimony to Jesus.
but the publicans and the harlots believed him--Of the publicans this is twice expressly recorded, Luke 3:12 , 7:29 . Of the harlots, then, the same may be taken for granted, though the fact is not expressly recorded. These outcasts gladly believed the testimony of John to the coming Saviour, and so hastened to Jesus when He came. See Luke 7:37 , 15:1 , &c.
and ye, when ye had seen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe him--Instead of being "provoked to jealousy" by their example, ye have seen them flocking to the Saviour and getting to heaven, unmoved.
Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen ( Matthew 21:33-46 ).
33. Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a
and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower--These details are taken, as is the basis of the parable itself, from that beautiful parable of Isaiah 5:1-7 , in order to fix down the application and sustain it by Old Testament authority.
and let it out to husbandmen--These are just the ordinary spiritual guides of the people, under whose care and culture the fruits of righteousness are expected to spring up.
and went into a far country--"for a long time" ( Luke 20:9 ), leaving the vineyard to the laws of the spiritual husbandry during the whole time of the Jewish economy. On this phraseology,
34. And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen--By these "servants" are meant the prophets and other extraordinary messengers, raised up from time to time.
that they might receive the fruits of it--Again
35. And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one--see Jeremiah 37:15 , 38:6 .
and killed another--see Jeremiah 26:20-23 .
and stoned another--see 2 Chronicles 24:21 . Compare with this whole verse Matthew 23:37 , where our Lord reiterates these charges in the most melting strain.
36. Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they did unto them likewise--see 2 Kings 17:13 , 2 Chronicles 36:16 2 Chronicles 36:18 , Nehemiah 9:26 .
37. But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my son--In Mark ( Mark 12:6 ) this is most touchingly expressed: "Having yet therefore one son, His well-beloved, He sent Him also last unto them, saying, They will reverence My Son." Luke's version of it too ( Luke 20:13 ) is striking: "Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send My beloved Son: it may be they will reverence Him when they see Him." Who does not see that our Lord here severs Himself, by the sharpest line of demarcation, from all merely human messengers, and claims for Himself Sonship in its loftiest sense? (Compare Hebrews 3:3-6 ). The expression, "It may be they will reverence My Son," is designed to teach the almost unimaginable guilt of not reverentially welcoming God's Son.
38. But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves--Compare Genesis 37:18-20 , John 11:47-53 .
This is the heir--Sublime expression this of the great truth, that God's inheritance was destined for, and in due time is to come into the possession of, His own Son in our nature ( Hebrews 1:2 ).
come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance--that so, from mere servants, we may become lords. This is the deep aim of the depraved heart; this is emphatically "the root of all evil."
39. And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard--compare Hebrews 13:11-13 ("without the gate--without the camp"); 1 Kings 21:13 , John 19:17 .
and slew him.
40. When the lord therefore of the vineyard cometh--This represents "the settling time," which, in the case of the Jewish ecclesiastics, was that judicial trial of the nation and its leaders which issued in the destruction of their whole state.
what will he do unto those husbandmen?
41. They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men--an emphatic alliteration not easily conveyed in English: "He will badly destroy those bad men," or "miserably destroy those miserable men," is something like it.
and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons--If this answer was given by the Pharisees, to whom our Lord addressed the parable, they thus unwittingly pronounced their own condemnation: as did David to Nathan the prophet ( 2 Samuel 12:5-7 ), and Simon the Pharisee to our Lord ( Luke 7:43 , &c.). But if it was given, as the two other Evangelists agree in representing it, by our Lord Himself, and the explicitness of the answer would seem to favor that supposition, then we can better explain the exclamation of the Pharisees which followed it, in Luke's report ( Luke 20:16 )--"And when they heard it, they said, God forbid"--His whole meaning now bursting upon them.
42. Jesus saith unto them. Did ye never read in the scriptures--( Psalms 118:22 Psalms 118:23 ).
The stone which the builders rejected, &c.--A bright Messianic prophecy, which reappears in various forms ( Isaiah 28:16 , &c.), and was made glorious use of by Peter before the Sanhedrim ( Acts 4:11 ). He recurs to it in his first epistle ( 1 Peter 2:4-6 ).
43. Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God--God's visible Kingdom, or Church, upon earth, which up to this time stood in the seed of Abraham.
shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof--that is, the great evangelical community of the faithful, which, after the extrusion of the Jewish nation, would consist chiefly of Gentiles, until "all Israel should be saved" ( Romans 11:25 Romans 11:26 ). This vastly important statement is given by Matthew only.
44. And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder--The Kingdom of God is here a Temple, in the erection of which a certain stone, rejected as unsuitable by the spiritual builders, is, by the great Lord of the House, made the keystone of the whole. On that Stone the builders were now "falling" and being "broken" ( Isaiah 8:15 ). They were sustaining great spiritual hurt; but soon that Stone should "fall upon them" and "grind them to powder" ( Daniel 2:34 Daniel 2:35 , Zechariah 12:2 )--in their corporate capacity, in the tremendous destruction of Jerusalem, but personally, as unbelievers, in a more awful sense still.
45. And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables--referring to that of the Two Sons and this one of the Wicked Husbandmen.
they perceived that he spake of them.
46. But when they sought to lay hands on him--which Luke ( Luke 20:19 ) says they did "the same hour," hardly able to restrain their rage.
they feared the multitude--rather, "the multitudes."
because they took him for a prophet--just as they feared to say John's baptism was of men, because the masses took him for a prophet ( Matthew 21:26 ). Miserable creatures! So, for this time, "they left Him and went their way" ( Mark 12:12 ).

The Muslim Voice of Baseball
May 5, 2011 by TMO
By Parvez Fatteh, TMO, Founder of http://sportingummah.com, firstname.lastname@example.com
Michigan native Ahmed Fareed has become a media face of baseball after joining the cable television channel MLB Network this past February. He works a host and reporter, appearing on studio productions including Hot Stove and MLB Tonight. MLB Network had the largest cable launch in history in 2009, with 50 million homes. During the season, the network provides nightly live updates, highlights and live look-ins involving games in progress.
Fareed moved up the broadcasting ranks rather quickly. Before joining MLB Network, Fareed spent five years with WAVY-TV/FOX 43 TV in Norfolk, Va., where he covered the Washington Redskins, the Orioles Triple-A affiliate Norfolk Tides, and Virginia Tech and University of Virginia football. "I really liked it at WAVY," he told the Virginian-Pilot. "But it's difficult speaking to an audience that's so fragmented. You don't know what they're interested in – the Redskins, ODU, Virginia Tech. It's nice being here [at MLB Network]. You know your audience. They like baseball. It's enjoyable to speak to that viewer." Fareed is still, however, grateful for his time in Norfolk. "Growing up in Michigan," he said, "I never would have thought this place in Hampton Roads would be so important to my life. But without that job, I'm not where I am today."
Before joining WAVY/FOX 43, Fareed was a weekend sports anchor at WILX-TV and WSYM-TV in Lansing, Mich. He grew up a Detroit Tigers fan in Sparta, Michigan. But he went on to graduate from Syracuse University's prestigious S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, where he majored in Broadcast Journalism. Considered a breeding ground for major broadcasters, the Syracuse program has been attended by many of the top sports journalists, including quite a few at ESPN.
Ahmed can be followed on Twitter at @AhmedFareedTV.

By Helene Fouquet
Nov. 16 (Bloomberg) -- Europe's financial crisis is bringing some good
tidings for French President Nicolas Sarkozy: a boost in opinion polls.
With borrowing costs surging in the euro area's second- biggest economy,
his relentless regional crisis-management efforts have raised approval
ratings at home six months before the country's presidential elections.
Nicknamed "hyper- president" for his do-it-all approach, Sarkozy's
popularity jumped the most in about 2 1/2 years this month -- a six-point
gain from a near-record low in October.
"The crisis can be an asset for Sarkozy," said Emmanuel Riviere, head of
opinion polls at Paris-based TNS-Sofres. "It plays to his strengths:
taking decisions, acting swiftly. But there will be a ripple effect if
there are more euro-country rescues, more unemployment. French voters
could go back to their old reflex and sack the incumbent."
Europe's two-year-long crisis has claimed five prime ministers: Brian
Cowen in Ireland, Jose Socrates in Portugal, Spain's Jose Luis Rodriguez
Zapatero, George Papandreou in Greece and Silvio Berlusconi in Italy. And
while the latest survey gain is a much-needed boost for Sarkozy, it may
not be enough to catch up with his main challenger in the May 2012
election, Socialist Party lawmaker Francois Hollande, who has a 22-point
poll lead over him.
Markets show Sarkozy's crisis-management efforts may not have gone far
Widening Spreads
The premium that France, whose financial institutions have the most to
lose from Europe's debt crisis, pays to borrow for 10 years over Germany
swelled to a 20-year high of 191 basis points yesterday. French 10-year
bond yields have jumped almost 1 percentage point in two months to about
3.6 percent.
The crisis has also hit the real economy, discouraging the investment and
hiring that helped drive France's expansion at the beginning of the year.
French jobless claims climbed to the highest in more than a decade in
The economic slowdown has forced Sarkozy's government to slash 2012 growth
forecasts twice in the past four months and to pledge budget cuts to
prevent the deficit from swelling and protect France's top credit rating.
France's triple-A rating is under pressure from Europe's debt crisis,
Moody's Investors Service said Oct. 17. France is among nations likely to
be downgraded in a stressed economic scenario, Standard & Poor's said four
days later.
Baby Daughter
Sarkozy, 56, has vowed to protect France's creditworthiness, announcing
18.6 billion euros ($25 billion) in tax increases and spending cuts for
2012 and the following year.
"French people must roll up their sleeves," Prime Minister Francois Fillon
said on Nov. 7, unveiling the measures. "We have one goal: to protect the
French people from the severe difficulties faced by some European
Sarkozy's popularity rebound follows months of intense talks over rescuing
Greece, including regional summits and about a dozen meetings with German
Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Sarkozy helmed a three-day meeting during the Group of 20 gathering in
Cannes starting on Nov. 3. He also appeared in a 20-minute primetime
televised interview with U.S. President Barack Obama. In the preceding
week he participated in two back- to-back European summits in Brussels,
working late into the night to sew up a 1 trillion-euro European rescue
The summits came not long after his wife Carla Bruni- Sarkozy gave birth
to their first child, Giulia, on Oct. 19.
Crisis Driven
A TNS-Sofres poll for Le Figaro Magazine showed on Nov. 3 that he gained 6
percentage points to 30 percent, the biggest rise since June 2009. Le
Point weekly on Nov. 14 showed he gained two percentage points to 37
percent his best score since March 2010, according to pollster Ipsos. Four
polls this month showed an improvement in Sarkozy's popularity.
"Sarkozy benefits from the leadership he showed at the G- 20, his central
role in the accord to stabilize the euro zone," Paris-based Ispos wrote in
its note. Ispos surveyed 958 people aged 18 and more between Nov. 10 and
Sarkozy has in the past shown that he's at his best when he has his back
to the wall or he faces crisis situations.
"He sees a problem, he wants to solve it," Former British Prime Minister
Tony Blair wrote in Time magazine in December, 2008. "What's more, he
believes he can."
In a 1993 kindergarten hostage drama in Neuilly, a suburb of Paris where
he was the mayor, Sarkozy talked a dynamite- belted, ransom-demanding
gunman into releasing his captives.
Lags Behind
In 2008, he helped end the August conflict between Russia and Georgia and
went to Ireland in the early days of its economic crisis. More recently,
he and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron were cheered in Libya by rebels
who saw them as pivotal in winning international backing for Muammar
Qaddafi's ouster.
For all his efforts on the international stage, Sarkozy remains largely
unpopular in France. Economic woes and corruption scandals involving his
close associates have weighed on his popularity. The latest BVA survey for
Le Parisien daily shows that Hollande would beat Sarkozy by 61 percent to
39 percent in the second round of the presidential election.
"French people see Hollande as more honest, more reliable than Sarkozy
whose image is damaged," said TNS's Riviere.
Hollande's lack of experience -- he has never held any major government
position -- may not matter if Sarkozy fails to contain the economic rout,
said TNS's Riviere.
"If the economic and debt crisis continues and hits France, maybe voters
will want to choose an honest, sympathetic person against one that, after
all, didn't save them," he said. "The vote is totally open, the crisis is
central to the outcome."

- Tree sitter's protest against the Willits bypass continues
The anti-bypass lawsuit against CalTrans and the US Army Corps of Engineers continues to move forward even as contractors gear up to start work and local environmental activists prepare for heightened protests.
While the lawyers battle it out in the courtroom, local activists seem bent on taking the battle to the fields and meadows of Little Lake Valley in an effort to delay construction.
Many within the community have been quietly organizing, conducting non-violent protest training and gearing up for a peaceful but obstructive challenge.
The apparent main hope of the organizers is for the delay to either give the courts time to consider the issue or to have the State of California reconsider the project funding.
The main symbol of the protest, a 24-year-old tree-sitter named Warbler remains perched in her protest tree, awaiting the chainsaws expected to begin work taking down the trees along the bypass footprint sometime in the next few weeks.
In court the plaintiffs, the Willits Environmental Center, the Redwood chapter of the Sierra Club, the Center for Biological Diversity, the Environmental Protection Information Center, and the California Farm Bureau. are alleging CalTrans violated the National Environmental Policy Act by failing to supplement its 2006 Environmental Impact Statement despite significant changes and circumstances to the project. The group also alleges the Corps' failed to provide sufficient environmental review of CalTrans' proposals as required by the Clean Water Act.
The two sides have been gearing up for a February 25 mediation hearing. In preparation for the hearing, the plaintiffs reviewed the information submitted by CalTrans and the Corps and noticed more than 100 missing documents believed to be germane to the case. While the Corps responded quickly to the requests for information, there was a back and forth series of motions and countermotions filed to get CalTrans to agree to provide the requested documents.
As of February 4, the two sides had apparently resolved this issue. CalTrans has agreed to provide the documents "as expeditiously as possible" if it can find them. CalTrans was given an out, in case they can't locate the documents, they are required only to "exercise due diligence to locate the documents."
In the end the judge can only rule based on documents and testimony that have been placed into evidence. CalTrans and the Corps were originally compelled to provide the court with all pertinent evidence. The more than 100 different documents requested by the plaintiffs to be added included emails between the Corps, CalTrans and mitigation groups; notes taken at meetings between CalTrans and the Corps; emails with the California Water Quality Control Board on mitigation; early design documents and various attachments. Most of the documents were referred to by CalTrans or the Corps in other provided documents, but they were not produced by either party.
The mediation efforts get underway on February 25.
If mediation efforts are unsuccessful, it is likely both sides will begin a new flurry of motions requesting the judge either dismiss the case or rule on the plaintiffs' behalf. If the case continues, the plaintiffs must file opening briefs by April 5. This triggers a new set of legal salvos with the last word being given to CalTrans on May 17.
Judge Jeffrey White will hold the final hearing on the case on June 7.
While the results of the June 7 hearing will end this phase of the litigation, it seems quite likely whoever loses will appeal.

10Fniss gadget organizer and charger
Ariel made a gadget organiser and charging station from the Fniss wastepaper basket.
It's pretty easy. All you need to do is basically cut a piece of plywood to "stop" the top and form a base for your gadgets to rest on. Then, cut a hole in the plywood and drill a hole in the Fniss for your cables.
See instructions for gadget organiser.

am I the only one who doesnt understand what the pepsi is there for ?
Probably to show the scale…
How is it that the canon charger has a cable coming off of it?
@anon 2:20 Maybe it has an adaptor on it? Those look like European plugs.
actually the lid of the pepsi can be found in the middle of the hole the cables are coming through.
though i think there might be a wooden solution, unless you want the pepsi eye-catcher.
I want to know how they got the mains plug through a pencil-sized hole. I didn't see power-strip dissection on the menu.
They cut off the end and attached a new plug to the powerstrip. If you at the first picture and the last you can see that the ends are different.
LOL this is one of the more creative charger stations I have seen <— Applauds
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
It might look cool to add a small light in the charging station for a muted glow.

CEO Rush University Medical Center, President Rush University
Larry Goodman, MD, initiated the biggest project in Rush University Medical Center's 175-year history shortly after becoming CEO in 2002. "We needed new facilities – a new hospital, a new outpatient facility and more parking," explains Dr. Goodman on the massive modernization project.
Opened January 6, 2012, the new 14-story hospital has a unique clover leaf design, a concept developed by Rush nurses. "They provided input on how we could correct deficiencies and improve safety," shares Dr. Goodman. "We also asked Marca Bristo, president/CEO, Access Living, to advise us on how to make Rush an effective and welcoming place for people with disabilities." And in order to full understand the construction project, Dr. Goodman says it's important to know the history of Rush.
"The oldest compound is the medical school, which dates back to 1837," he notes. "Literally, the week the city of Chicago was incorporated, Rush Medical College opened. Later it burned down as part of the Chicago fire and Rush was relocated on the west side of Chicago in the 1880s. Many of our buildings today date to the 1880s and what was clear when we were looking at our overall facilities, all of our buildings, was if we were to practice medicine in this more modern era we needed new facilities."
Rush also improved the way supplies are delivered to the hospital. "We used to have our supply trucks enter where the new hospital sits today, so we had to move that underground, underneath the new hospital," explains Dr. Goodman. "Robots now deliver the supplies under Harrison Street, and they have designated elevators where they take supplies upstairs. It's quite remarkable."
In addition to overseeing construction of the new facilities, which are all Gold LEED certified, Dr. Goodman is also involved with the partnership between Rush University and City Colleges of Chicago. "The idea of the Colleges to Career program is to modify curriculum and do an even better job of training today's students to be tomorrow's employees. To that end, Malcolm X College has been designated a health science college, where our college of nursing and college of health science deans/teachers work with their faculty to prepare students for a career in health care; it's a great partnership."
When reflecting more on "tomorrow's employees," Dr. Goodman believes while role of women in health care will continue to increase, there's room for improvement. "Women in medicine have increased numbers in medical schools, residencies and fellowships. But where I see a need for women is at the most senior positions – chairman, dean – across the country. The ratio of men to women is variable but probably not where it needs to be."

Elihu accuses Job of charging God with injustice. (1-9) God cannot be unjust. (10-15) God's power and providence. (16-30) Elihu reproves Job. (31-37)
Verses 1-9 Elihu calls upon those present to decide with him upon Job's words. The plainest Christian, whose mind is enlightened, whose heart is sanctified by the Spirit of God, and who is versed in the Scriptures, can say how far matters, words, or actions, agree with true religion, better than any that lean to their own understandings. Job had spoken as if he meant wholly to justify himself. He that say, I have cleansed my hands in vain, does not only offend against God's children, Ps. 73:13-15 , but gratifies his enemies, and says as they say.
Verses 10-15 Elihu had showed Job, that God meant him no hurt by afflicting him, but intended his spiritual benefit. Here he shows, that God did him no wrong by afflicting him. If the former did not satisfy him, this ought to silence him. God cannot do wickedness, nor the Almighty commit wrong. If services now go unrewarded, and sins now go unpunished, yet there is a day coming, when God will fully render to every man according to his works. Further, though the believer's final condemnation is done away through the Saviour's ransom, yet he has merited worse than any outward afflictions; so that no wrong is done to him, however he may be tried.
Verses 16-30 Elihu appeals directly to Job himself. Could he suppose that God was like those earthly princes, who hate right, who are unfit to rule, and prove the scourges of mankind? It is daring presumption to condemn God's proceedings, as Job had done by his discontents. Elihu suggests divers considerations to Job, to produce in him high thoughts of God, and so to persuade him to submit. Job had often wished to plead his cause before God. Elihu asks, To what purpose? All is well that God does, and will be found so. What can make those uneasy, whose souls dwell at ease in God? The smiles of all the world cannot quiet those on whom God frowns.
Verses 31-37 When we reprove for what is amiss, we must direct to what is good. Job's friends would have had him own himself a wicked man. Let will only oblige him to own that he spoke unadvisedly with his lips. Let us, in giving reproof, not make a matter worse than it is. Elihu directs Job to humble himself before God for his sins, and to accept the punishment. Also to pray to God to discover his sins to him. A good man is willing to know the worst of himself; particularly, under affliction, he desires to be told wherefore God contends with him. It is not enough to be sorry for our sins, but we must go and sin no more. And if we are affectionate children, we shall love to speak with our Father, and to tell him all our mind. Elihu reasons with Job concerning his discontent under affliction. We are ready to think every thing that concerns us should be just as we would have it; but it is not reasonable to expect this. Elihu asks whether there was not sin and folly in what Job said. God is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works, Ps. 145:17 . The believer saith, Let my Saviour, my wise and loving Lord, choose every thing for me. I am sure that will be wisest, and the best for his glory and my good.
1. answered--proceeded.
2. This chapter is addressed also to the "friends" as the thirty-third chapter to Job alone.
4. judgment--Let us select among the conflicting sentiments advanced, what will stand the test of examination.
5. judgment--my right. Job's own words ( Job 13:18 , 27:2 ).
6. Were I to renounce my right (that is, confess myself guilty), I should die. Job virtually had said so ( Job 27:4 Job 27:5 , 6:28 ). MAURER, not so well, "Notwithstanding my right (innocence) I am treated as a liar," by God, by His afflicting me.
my wound--literally, "mine arrow," namely, by which I am pierced. So "my stroke" ("hand," Job 23:2 , Margin). My sickness ( Job 6:4 , 16:13 ).
without transgression--without fault of mine to deserve it ( Job 16:17 ).
7. ( Job 15:16 ). Image from the camel.
scorning--against God ( Job 15:4 ).
8. Job virtually goes in company (makes common cause) with the wicked, by taking up their sentiments ( Job 9:22 Job 9:23 Job 9:30 , 21:7-15 ), or at least by saying, that those who act on such sentiments are unpunished ( Malachi 3:14 ). To deny God's righteous government because we do not see the reasons of His acts, is virtually to take part with the ungodly.
9. with God--in intimacy ( Psalms 50:18 , Margin).
10. The true answer to Job, which God follows up ( Job 38:1-41 ). Man is to believe God's ways are right, because they are His, not because we fully see they are so ( Romans 9:14 , Deuteronomy 32:4 , Genesis 18:25 ).
11. Partly here; fully, hereafter ( Jeremiah 32:19 , Romans 2:6 , 1 Peter 1:17 , Revelation 22:12 ).
12. ( Job 8:3 ). In opposition to Job, Job 34:5 , will not--cannot.
13. If the world were not God's property, as having been made by Him, but committed to His charge by some superior, it might be possible for Him to act unjustly, as He would not thereby be injuring Himself; but as it is, for God to act unjustly would undermine the whole order of the world, and so would injure God's own property ( Job 36:23 ).
disposed--hath founded ( Isaiah 44:7 ), established the circle of the globe.
14, 15. "If He were to set His heart on man," either to injure him, or to take strict account of his sins. The connection supports rather [UMBREIT], "If He had regard to himself (only), and were to gather unto Himself ( Psalms 104:29 ) man's spirit, &c. (which he sends forth, Psalms 104:30 , Ecclesiastes 12:7 ), all flesh must perish together," &c. ( Genesis 3:19 ). God's loving preservation of His creatures proves He cannot be selfish, and therefore cannot be unjust.
16. In Job 34:2 , Elihu had spoken to all in general, now he calls Job's special attention.
17. "Can even He who (in thy view) hateth right (justice) govern?" The government of the world would be impossible if injustice were sanctioned. God must be just, because He governs ( 2 Samuel 23:3 ).
govern--literally, "bind," namely, by authority (so "reign," 1 Samuel 9:17 , Margin). UMBREIT translates for "govern, repress wrath, namely, against Job for his accusations.
most just--rather, "Him who is at once mighty and just" (in His government of the world).
18. Literally, (Is it fit) to be said to a king? It would be a gross outrage to reproach thus an earthly monarch, much more the King of kings ( Exodus 22:28 ). But MAURER with the Septuagint and Vulgate reads, (It is not fit to accuse of injustice Him) who says to a king, Thou art wicked; to princes, Ye are ungodly; that is, who punishes impartially the great, as the small. This accords with Job 34:19 .
19. ( Acts 10:34 , 2 Chronicles 19:7 , Proverbs 22:2 , Job 31:15 ).
20. they--"the rich" and "princes" who offend God.
the people--namely, of the guilty princes: guilty also themselves.
at midnight--image from a night attack of an enemy on a camp, which becomes an easy prey ( Exodus 12:29 Exodus 12:30 ).
without hand--without visible agency, by the mere word of God (so Job 20:26 , Zechariah 4:6 , Daniel 2:34 ).
21. God's omniscience and omnipotence enable Him to execute immediate justice. He needs not to be long on the "watch," as Job thought ( Job 7:12 , 2 Chronicles 16:9 , Jeremiah 32:19 ).
22. shadow of death--thick darkness ( Amos 9:2 Amos 9:3 , Psalms 139:12 ).
23. ( 1 Corinthians 10:13 , Lamentations 3:32 , Isaiah 27:8 ). Better, as UMBREIT, "He does not (needs not to) regard (as in Job 34:14 , Isaiah 41:20 ) man long (so Hebrew, Genesis 46:29 ) in order that he may go (be brought by God) into judgment." Literally, "lest his (attention) upon men" ( Job 11:10 Job 11:11 ). So Job 34:24 , "without number" ought to be translated, "without [needing any] searching out," such as has to be made in human judgments.
24. break in pieces--( Psalms 2:9 , Job 12:18 , Daniel 2:21 ).
25. Therefore--because He knows all things ( Job 34:21 ). He knows their works, without a formal investigation ( Job 34:24 ).
in the night--suddenly, unexpectedly ( Job 34:20 ). Fitly in the night, as it was in it that the godless hid themselves ( Job 34:22 ). UMBREIT, less simply, for "overturneth," translates, "walketh"; that is, God is ever on the alert, discovering all wickedness.
26. He striketh them--chasteneth.
as--that is, because they are wicked.
sight of others--Sinners hid themselves in darkness; therefore they are punished before all, in open day. Image from the place of public execution ( Job 40:12 , Exodus 14:30 , 2 Samuel 12:12 ).
27, 28. The grounds of their punishment in Job 34:26 . Job 34:28 states in what respect they "considered not God's ways," namely, by oppression, whereby "they caused the cry," &c.
29. ( Proverbs 16:7 , Isaiah 26:3 ).
make trouble--rather, "condemn" ( Romans 8:33 Romans 8:34 ). MAURER, from the reference being only to the godless, in the next clause, and Job 34:20 translates, "When God keeps quiet" (leaves men to perish) Psalms 83:1 ; [UMBREIT] from the Arabic (strikes to the earth), "who shall condemn Him as unjust?" Job 34:17 .
hideth . . . face--( Job 23:8 Job 23:9 , Psalms 13:1 ).
it be done--Whether it be against a guilty nation ( 2 Kings 18:9-12 ) or an individual, that God acts so.
30. Ensnared--into sin ( 1 Kings 12:28 1 Kings 12:30 ). Or rather, "enthralled by further oppression," Job 34:26-28 .
31. Job accordingly says so ( Job 40:3-5 , Micah 7:9 , Leviticus 26:41 ). It was to lead him to this that Elihu was sent. Though no hypocrite, Job, like all, had sin; therefore through affliction he was to be brought to humble himself under God. All sorrow is a proof of the common heritage of sin, in which the godly shares; and therefore he ought to regard it as a merciful correction. UMBREIT and MAURER lose this by translating, as the Hebrew will bear, "Has any a right to say to God, I have borne chastisement and yet have not sinned?" (so Job 34:6 ).
borne--namely, the penalty of sin, as in Leviticus 5:1 Leviticus 5:17 .
offend--literally, "to deal destructively or corruptly" ( Nehemiah 1:7 ).
32. ( Job 10:2 , Psalms 32:8 , 19:12 , Psalms 139:23 Psalms 139:24 ).
no more--( Proverbs 28:13 , Ephesians 4:22 ).
33. Rather, "should God recompense (sinners) according to thy mind? Then it is for thee to reject and to choose, and not me" [UMBREIT]; or as MAURER, "For thou hast rejected God's way of recompensing; state therefore thy way, for thou must choose, not I," that is, it is thy part, not mine, to show a better way than God's.
34, 35. Rather, "men . . . will say to me, and the wise man ( Job 34:2 Job 34:10 ) who hearkens to me (will say), 'Job hath spoken,'" &c.
36. Margin, not so well, "My father," Elihu addressing God. This title does not elsewhere occur in Job.
tried--by calamities.
answers for wicked godly are not removed until they produce the effect designed.
37. clappeth . . . hands--in scorn ( Job 27:23 , Ezekiel 21:17 ).
multiplieth . . . words--( Job 11:2 , 35:16 ). To his original "sin" to correct which trials have been sent, "he adds rebellion," that is, words arraigning God's justice.

The success of the Jews. (1-19) The feast of Purim in remembrance of this. (20-32)
Verses 1-19 The enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them by the former edict. If they had attempted nothing against the people of God, they would not themselves have suffered. The Jews, acting together, strengthened one another. Let us learn to stand fast in one spirit, and with one mind, striving together against the enemies of our souls, who endeavour to rob us of our faith, which is more precious than our lives. The Jews, to the honour of their religion, showed contempt of wordly wealth, that they might make it appear they desired nothing except their own preservation. In every case the people of God should manifest humanity and disinterestedness, frequently refusing advantages which might lawfully be obtained. The Jews celebrated their festival the day after they had finished their work. When we have received great mercies from God, we ought to be speedy in making thankful returns to him.
Verses 20-32 The observance of the Jewish feasts, is a public declaration of the truth of the Old Testament Scriptures. And as the Old Testament Scriptures are true, the Messiah expected by the Jews is come long ago; and none but Jesus of Nazareth can be that Messiah. The festival was appointed by authority, yet under the direction of the Spirit of God. It was called the feast of Purim, from a Persian word, which signifies a lot. The name of this festival would remind them of the almighty power of the God of Israel, who served his own purposes by the superstitions of the heathen. In reviewing our mercies, we should advert to former fears and distresses. When our mercies are personal, we should not by forgetfulness lose the comfort of them, or withhold from the Lord the glory due to his name. May the Lord teach us to rejoice, with that holy joy which anticipates and prepares for the blessedness of heaven. Every instance of Divine goodness to ourselves, is a new obligation laid on us to do good, to those especially who most need our bounty. Above all, ( 2 Corinthians. 8:9 )
Esther 9:1-19 . THE JEWS SLAY THEIR ENEMIES WITH THE TEN SONS OF HAMAN.
1. in the twelfth month, . . . on the thirteenth day of the same--This was the day which Haman's superstitious advisers had led him to select as the most fortunate for the execution of his exterminating scheme against the Jews [ Esther 3:7 ].
2. The Jews gathered themselves . . . no man could withstand them--The tables were now turned in their favor; and though their enemies made their long meditated attack, the Jews were not only at liberty to act on the defensive, but through the powerful influence enlisted on their side at court together with the blessing of God, they were everywhere victorious.
the fear of them fell upon all people--This impression arose not alone from the consciousness of the all-powerful vizier being their countryman, but from the hand of God appearing so visibly interposed to effect their strange and unexpected deliverance.
5-16. Thus the Jews smote all their enemies--The effect of the two antagonistic decrees was, in the meantime, to raise a fierce and bloody war between the Jews and their enemies throughout the Persian empire; but through the dread of Esther and Mordecai, the provincial governors universally favored their cause, so that their enemies fell in great numbers.
13. let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day's decree--Their enemies adroitly concealing themselves for the first day might have returned on the next, when they imagined that the privilege of the Jews was expired; so that that people would have been surprised and slain. The extension of the decree to another day at the queen's special desire has exposed her to the charge of being actuated by a cruel and vindictive disposition. But her conduct in making this request is capable of full vindication, on the ground (1) that Haman's sons having taken a prominent part in avenging their father's fall, and having been previously slain in the melee, the order for the exposure of their dead bodies on the gallows was only intended to brand them with public infamy for their malice and hatred to the Jews; and (2) the anti-Jewish party having, in all probability, been instigated through the arts or influence of Haman to acts of spiteful and wanton oppression, the existing state of feeling among the natives required some vigorous and decisive measure to prevent the outbreak of future aggressions. To order an extension, therefore, of the permissive edict to the Jews to defend themselves, was perhaps no more than affording an opportunity for their enemies to be publicly known. Though it led to so awful a slaughter of seventy-five thousand of their enemies, there is reason to believe that these were chiefly Amalekites, in the fall of whom on this occasion, the prophecies ( Exodus 17:14 Exodus 17:16 , Deuteronomy 25:19 ) against that doomed race were accomplished.
19. a day of . . . feasting . . . of sending portions one to another--The princes and people of the East not only invite their friends to feasts, but it is their custom to send a portion of the banquet to those who cannot well come to it, especially their relations, and those who are detained at home in a state of sorrow or distress.
Esther 9:20-32 . THE TWO DAYS OF PURIM MADE FESTIVAL.
20. Mordecai wrote these things--Commentators are not agreed what is particularly meant by "these things"; whether the letters following, or an account of these marvellous events to be preserved in the families of the Jewish people, and transmitted from one generation to another.
26. they called these days Purim after the name of Pur--"Pur," in the Persian language, signifies "lot"; and the feast of Purim, or lots, has a reference to the time having been pitched upon by Haman through the decision of the lot. In consequence of the signal national deliverance which divine providence gave them from the infamous machinations of Haman, Mordecai ordered the Jews to commemorate that event by an anniversary festival, which was to last for two days, in accordance with the two days' war of defense they had to maintain. There was a slight difference in the time of this festival; for the Jews in the provinces, having defended themselves against their enemies on the thirteenth, devoted the fourteenth to festivity; whereas their brethren in Shushan, having extended that work over two days, did not observe their thanksgiving feast till the fifteenth. But this was remedied by authority, which fixed the fourteenth and fifteenth of Adar. It became a season of sunny memories to the universal body of the Jews; and, by the letters of Mordecai, dispersed through all parts of the Persian empire, it was established as an annual feast, the celebration of which is kept up still. On both days of the feast, the modern Jews read over the Megillah or Book of Esther in their synagogues. The copy read must not be printed, but written on vellum in the form of a roll; and the names of the ten sons of Haman are written on it a peculiar manner, being ranged, they say, like so many bodies on a gibbet. The reader must pronounce all these names in one breath. Whenever Haman's name is pronounced, they make a terrible noise in the synagogue. Some drum with their feet on the floor, and the boys have mallets with which they knock and make a noise. They prepare themselves for their carnival by a previous fast, which should continue three days, in imitation of Esther's; but they have mostly reduced it to one day [JENNING, Jewish Antiquities].

Dr. Armisen has been trained in one medical specialty.
Having studied Family Medicine, Dr. Armisen has been trained to provide comprehensive medical care for families and individuals suffering from all types of illnesses, disorders, conditions and diseases. As a family doctor, Dr. Armisen is usually the first point of contact for patients when they seek general medical care (categorized as a primary care provider) and can refer patients to specialists when necessary.
Family medicine, or family practice, is a division of primary care focused on the provision of comprehensive medical care for people of all ages, with family doctors often providing care for the entire family. As a family doctor, these physicians generally develop close relationships with patients over an extended period of time, allowing for the provision of comprehensive care that other specialists may be less likely to deliver.
Family physicians are tasked with caring for not only the physical health of patients and families, but also the mental and emotional health and how it relates to the family as a unit. Family medicine also emphasizes preventive care, attempting to keep the patient healthy and prevent diseases before they occur through regular exercise, a healthy diet and healthy life choices.
When treating patients and their families, family physicians employ a variety of techniques and procedures. With regard to preventive measures, Family doctors are tasked with performing regular examinations or checkups, immunizations and screening tests, among others. Family physicians are trained to identify and treat a very wide range of illnesses and injuries, but may also refer patients to a specialist when they deem it necessary. Additionally, family physicians may also treat and manage chronic conditions without the assistance of a specialist.
